Full Episode
So Matt, we do every now and then have to check in on the universe. We do. How's it doing, Neil? You know, it has issues. You know, there's a crisis, a family crisis with the galaxy. I hate it when crises happen.
Can we resolve it?
Is there any way to resolve it? Maybe. I think we did, actually, coming up on StarTalk. Welcome to StarTalk, your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide. StarTalk begins right now. This is StarTalk. Neil deGrasse Tyson, your personal astrophysicist. Today, I've got as my co-host, Matt Kirshen. Matt, welcome back.
Thank you, Neil. It's nice to be back.
We caught up with you. You're on a cruise. Man, you comedians go everywhere. You got the cushiest jobs ever.
I don't know if it's cushy. It's cushy to be on a cruise, I think. Telling jokes on a cruise, that's a little more work. But yeah, we were chatting about this last time. I'm on a boat right now, and then I'm on a big land tour. I'm touring with Sarah Millican, who's a great UK comic. And then off the back of that, I'm doing some headline shows of my own in clubs. So MattKirshen.com.
You can stalk me. If you go to MattKirshen.com, you can find everywhere I am. We'll stalk you there.
All right. Well, take us on a boat next time.
Absolutely, absolutely. There's space in this tiny cabin.
