I don't know much of Tyson's work aside from him trying to popularize science and make it more approachable to the general public. And cosmos. Can I ask what makes him idiotic? Especially on an Eddie bravo level. I personally can't imagine any educated well read person behaving any where as near idiotic as "I'm crazy, bro" guy who's just asking questions.

loving government scientist!

I don't think he's an idiot but he can be super smug and his 'debunking' of stuff that happens in movies is loving lame.

That's pretty funny. To be fair though, most STEM professors I have had are extraordinarily explicit with how they define things, if not downright robotic; that's just the nature of work at that level, and it lends itself to a certain personality. NDT strikes me as someone who is clearly able to be friendly and warm enough to be a media personality, but behind the scenes may seem like he has his head in the clouds. I'm reminded of how Michio Kaku was described as looking like he didn't know who Opie and Anthony were, despite having been a guest many times, off air.

I don't know, I cut the guy some slack for being a dweeb. Faaaaaart.

Tyson is an adorable dweeb. When he first got big attention from the internet for talking about science gently caress ups in film, he kind of got carried away and did it too much. But you know, that's just a quirk of someone being kind of a geek.

He's like the internets nerdy dad. Of course he's gonna be way less funny and cool than he tries to act, but it's not sinister or like, bad at all.

He's just such a sweetheart.

I'm surprised Joe hasn't been able to get him on since Joe clearly loves the guy. All of Art's Coast to Coast reboots have failed and he's had some public drama so maybe he's downright refused and is holed up in some crazy prepper basement waiting for Alex Jones.

An anti-science person could not in his wildest anti-science dreams conceive of a way to make Bill Nye look more ridiculous than he did all on his own on his Netflix show. It's just one long sad cringe to watch.

It's the most bizarre mix of preachy and flippant, in character and out of character, overly sarcastic and overly earnest all at once, balancing into an intensely awkward tension that never wavers

What about NDT's tweets about the intricate details of doilies from a few years ago? Dude is such a dad, and everyone needs more dads tweeting their excitement about the world and science to be honest.

Like the just glassin guy from your mom's house podcast.

Al Madrigal, another rich kid turned depressed comic. Holy poo poo what a drag he was, I couldnt finish the first hour. He said one thing that was funny, I forgot it though. Im not the biggest comedy guy, but I think he set up the All Things Comedy network and gets a piece of all that sweet podcast money. Good for him.

From what I remember about reading a bunch of "what are famous people like in real life" NDT can be an awkward, goony nerdface when he's not performing NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON, SCIENCE POPULARIZER, but he aight. Bill Nye, apparently, is a total dickhole, though.

Al Madrigal's episode was cool. Not ha ha funny, perhaps, but interesting.
