Bell, not in this portion, Gina Grad and Brian Bishop from 2019.
Good day, Gina Grad. Good day to you. Handball, Brian. Come on, guy. You don't need to do that. Yeah, we talked to Neil, and it's weird. There's a weird confluence of energy around energy, which is... I know things work that way, but I was talking to – I was a little surprised, and I'll share this with you guys in a second. Excited to see Dempsey in here. It's been a while. MedMen, go to MedMen.com, LifeLock, LifeLock.com, enter Adam. BetDSI, BetDSI.com, and Castro. So I was chatting with Neil deGrasse and he's a very liberal minded guy. And I sort of. Drew and I, before he hopped on the line, were sort of discussing Green New Deal and nuclear energy and blah, blah, blah. And Drew is very much for nuclear energy, as am I, because every time I interview a guy who's super smart, he goes, yeah, that's fine.
It works. That's what Europe does. It's good. It's a good thing. And... But then it always seems to be off the table when you discuss it with someone. So I sort of almost a little sheepishly brought it up with Neil deGrasse Tyson because I thought he was going to go, well, you know, slow your roll. And he was like, yeah, nothing wrong with that. That works good. We're not doing it, but it's good. It works good. And so we have this problem in that we have this solution here. to a large part of our energy problems that everyone with an advanced degree thinks is a great idea, but everyone else thinks it's a bad idea.
Well, it doesn't sound good, and we have bumper stickers to prove it.
Yeah, we have no nuke. So, you know, that's scientific proof that it doesn't work. Don't put the word no in front of an abbreviation for nuclear and what are you going to do now?
It's unfortunate that us share the word nuclear with nuclear weapons because nuclear power is not exactly the same thing, but it gets ingrained in your head. Nuclear weapons are bad, so nuclear power must be bad.
It's right up there with fat and work. People don't like both those things because of the name. That's it. No thanks. People don't realize fat doesn't make you fat, and work can be fine. It doesn't have to all be hard work or drudgery or anything. Anyway. So I was talking to him about that, and then at some point, somebody sent me a TED Talk about it earlier today.
Can't trust those commies.
Although we weren't really talking about it before, and then somebody reached out to you, Gina Grad, about it as well. Somebody was in the Navy for a million years, and that was their business.
He has a lot of thoughts about this.
And again, this is all just kind of coming together in real time. I thought – so I'll play you the Neil deGrasse Tyson 60-second clip with me and a very hoarse Dr. Drew. Nuclear energy. We'll see what that sounds like. Sure, wind, solar, that's on the horizon, but we're not there yet. How about it?
Yeah, so interesting. The University of Oxford has a new professorship, new in the last decade or so, a professorship of the public understanding of risk. That's the name of a professorship. And when you look at how much how tolerant we have been of the health and life disasters that mining coal has brought upon civilization in the last 150 years, you know, tens of thousands of deaths, hundreds of thousands of deaths in the process of digging for coal, mining coal, the lung deaths, the breathing deaths that have come about from it.
