I'm going to say that there is no help for my brain, so it does not make a difference.

16.829 - 25.979

Hi, Neil.

63.548 - 76.748 Neil deGrasse Tyson

All right. We got another one of these. We're going to connect the viewer listener to the human condition. Yes. Oh, my gosh. But let me get my other co-host introduced here. That would be Chuck Nice.

76.768 - 82.117 Chuck Nice

Chuck, how you doing, man? Hey, man. Yeah, that when you know it's Chuck, it means it's not special at all.
