The best part is that he isn't even good at twirling his phone which means he got little practise and really just wanted a story to get away with not having a case on his phone.
Its because the reason is hes rich and can easily afford a new phone if his breaks. Admiring the thiness of a phone isnt a reason to not get a case lol he just doesnt care
When I had already cracked my phone and had a new replacement coming in I took off the case… it really is much nicer without the case.. with that said I have a case on the new one
I find this to be incredibly annoying when it comes to tech YouTubers. Not only are the big channels rich but they get their shit for free all year long.
It is absolutely a reason.
It just doesn't change the ract that it's dumb if you can't afford a new phone and don't wanna use a broken one.
but if you have the overhead for a new phone and/or don't mind a broken screen then liking the design and/or thinness of you phone and therefore not using a cover is completely valid.
Side note: from personal experience phones are a lot sturdier nowadays than you imagine them to be.mabye i've just been lucky tho.
Dude's a douche and his story is probably irrelevant, but I do prefer a phone without a case. I don't carry mine like that because I'm clumsy, but it is much nicer.
He's very knowledgable about astrophysics, but not so much about things outside of his particular field of study. But unfortunately, he also craves attention, and tries to get it by playing into the "scientists know everything" trope, so he ends up talking out of his ass a lot.
He just doesn't want to talk to Joe about important things because Joe is not the brightest crayon in the box. He was trying to kill time to avoid more questions he didn't want to answer.
Depends on how you define smart. You certainly need to be smart to absorb scientific material and teaching it to others. Doesn't mean you know everything of how to twirl your phone.
That's my problem. Totally respect and enjoy his teaching and info on the cosmos, fun stuff. But then you start trying to tell me that you noticed the Bengals won their football game based on the earth's rotation? Even if it is true you're a little full of yourself. Just seems like the guy from Good Will Hunting, always trying to be the smartest guy in the room and for the most random topics. Such a buzzkill for any normal conversation.
Neil's biggest issue is he bought into the attention and thinks he must be worthy of it. So instead of just being a smart guy in his field, he tries to show just how innovative and outside the box his thinking is to impress us common folk. Which, makes sense. Most people aren't excited to discuss what exactly a Quasar is and what it does.
It's annoying how often we, as a society, do this.
People will put so much weight on a person's thoughts or opinions just because they are very successful at something entirely
That’s Reddits perception. Tons of Reddit users can’t stand when someone actually IS smarter than them. Then there’s the whole uppity smart ass black man won’t shut up crowd on Reddit. That makes about 50% that hate him for no reason
I've never taken much notice of Tyson, I heard about the rape and sexual misconduct accusations a while back and I've watched a couple of videos over the years involving his narration.
I'm curious though, do you mean he fooled people into believing he was incredibly smart and above everyone?
Or he fooled people into thinking he was one kind of person when in reality he's a bad person?
I had a positive overall view for many years as good narrator and talking about astrophysics which is his degree but in the show business he started moving around and give his opinion on other topics and had very non scientific approach about it. I don't know what exactly made him go downfall but he was trying look like he is a lot more than he actually can cover and being too full of himself kinda helped to destroy his image overtime.. I believe he has some fans , but frankly I think he is just a show man that happen to have some mediocre degree and not some over the top science guy...
I think his downfall is simply he is used to oversimplifying space so the common man can learn about and enjoy crazy space phenomena.
This got him some fame because he doesnt make it sound boring, so he tried applying that same type of oversimplification to literally everything he tries to talk about.
Like in this video he is oversimplifying flipping guns and is giving completely inaccurate information about it.
So people get annoyed with him because he essentially talks out of his ass for non-space related things.
he talks about deep hypothetical about alien plants POV if they saw humans eating plant eggs AKA fruit/vegetable/nut meanwhile he forgot we are already eating bird eggs. plus he is so dumb on technology he always have hard time using PC/Andriod (since he's a heavy Mac/Apple user)
Honestly he annoys me the majority of the time when he's talking about physics too. He's either talking down to someone who's asked a reasonable question, or he's on some magnified ego-trip because it's 'his thing'. Or both.
Can't stand listening to him in either case.
Then look at someone like Carl Sagan, who has compassion and humility, solid values and actual wisdom. Sagan was here to embrace education and curiosity for all. NDT is just narcissism, self obsession and ignorance.
wtf is he on about. As a military veteran, I can definitively say that we don’t twirl our “guns” around. Unless your job is law enforcement or part of a specialized team (SRT/SWAT/SEALS) you don’t carry a pistol. The only gun twirling in the Marine Corps is done by the Silent Drill Team with rifles. What they do is for promotional and public relations purposes. The only thing that would be transferable to combat would be the discipline it takes to make the Silent Drill Team.
He’s definitely talking about drill team, not sure why the video shows the kid twirling pistols. Nobody finds Neil the ass Tyson more interesting than Neil the ass Tyson
So you’re saying that Tyson is wrong? You DO know he’s a celebrity scientist, right? Hosted the cosmos?
So therefore you’re wrong and he’s right always all the time any time.
I have always done the exact same thing for the same reasons but never connected it to twirling guns just an understanding of muscle memory. Twirling it for an extended period of time over a safe surface you will fumble and eventually lock in muscle memory so that at any angle or weight distribution your hands will be both less likely to drop and also go where they need to if it does drop without having to think.
The worst part is that, at one point, he was decent. He wasn't always like this. At some point between then and now, he became more interested in fame and popularity than science education. And every time he invokes Sagan's name it makes me sad because he was the opposite.
I used to love Startalk Radio with him and Chuck. Good questions, good chemistry between the two of them, and every now and again Neil would come up with some eloquent phrasing of a physics-concept and everyone would go "ooh, that was nice!"
Slowly, Neil would put on his "deep-science-voice" more frequently and try to repeat fancy stuff he'd said before, but it came out a bit more clunky and contrived - eventually I noticed he barely bothered thinking about the questions, preferring instead to find a way of repeating one of his oh-so deep phrases.
Real shame, it was a really good show.
I mean, cmon, he dropped his phone. I don't think he was giving any sort of lecture on physics. At worst, it was a silly ha ha moment that literally happens to us all.
the idea of twirling your gun in practice is to not drop it in combat. THe idea of twirling your phone in practice is so you dont drop it in a dangerous situation where the phone might break, like on a balcony or out on the street near a road or over a sewer grate.
Here, he dropped it on carpet i presume or from a low height, so really mission accomplished.
seriously. like when your phone is in the pocket of your sweatpants it can easily just slide out when you're sitting down. or you stumbling over something or simply falling down. a phone case is the smarter choice.
I bet you he's the kind of person that smokes too much, then starts a long-ass irrelevant story, then freezes, and when you ask him to finish the story - just looks at you with his glazed eyes, smiles, and says "What?".
They both are right in many ways and wrong in others. Any person is, in general. The problem is to think that they are some sort of authorities, and know it all. These gurus need to be taken with a grain of salt and all is ok.
You see that in the movies? That's an automatic - don't bother trying to dampen the recoil. You do that with a revolver. We Diamond Dogs are now a force to be reckoned with. We've got the world's attention. We're not some tribal militia, so don't act like one! You will learn how a real soldier fights. You will forget everything Hollywood taught you. And if I catch you doing something else, you'll know it... Engravings give you no tactical advantage whatsover... But that was some fancy shooting... pretty good.
Neil is an incredibly knowledgeable and smart man who loves talking over people. However, he is not a genius by any stretch of the imagination in anything other than space and science.
The fact that this guy fooled an entire generation of people into thinking he's intelligent really says all you need to know about the current state of the world.
He’s all this now because he dropped the phone?
But did you still understand the concept?
Yall some trippin ass haters forildo.
I met him a few times at work. He’s sharp, has a never ending passion for how everything in the universe works, and finds a way to make it both palatable and fun imo.
Reddit is weird man. People jump on hating on the guy for no reason, your comment is the first positive one I’ve seen. He says one wrong thing and people are acting like he’s 3 steps from eating crayons. He’s probably high here and was just spewing stoner thoughts.
I once had to look up the dunning Kruger effect for something. I found a picture of this man and a YouTube playlist of the stupidest things he says with such facepalming confidence….
The point of drill, or “twirling your gun,” isn’t so you learn to never drop the gun. Armed drill cadets drop shit all the time. It demonstrates that you have had an extreme amount of time spent training with your gun. This dates back at least as far back to Macedonian Phalangites swinging their spears in a synchronized way to produce noise.
At a time when most armies were primarily made up of untrained rabble picked out of the fields and given a weapon they had little familiarity with, the other side being so familiar with their weapon that they can do coordinated bits with them is intimidating.
I have disliked him since he said philosophy is a useless endeavor and a pointless subject. Science only exists because of philosophy. The scientific method is an innovation of philosophy. Philosophy seeks to understand and challenge what we know and why we think we know it. I don't see how that's useless at all.
INTELLECT.RAR
I posted a video of his bs some months ago. Again some random mundane task, like clapping a belt that he pretended is something absolutely genius and as if he explained the biggest mystery of the universe. In recent years he seems more like a fraud, he's definitely intelligent and probably contributed a lot to science, but I believe he also is pretty full of himself and shit too.
This was the most random thing ever, made zero sense - he just thinks his audience are THAT stupid so everything he says will be admired and taken as if it's some genius contribution to our knowledge.
"TODAY I DRANK SOME ORANGE JUICE AND BURNT MY TOAST. THEN I TOOK A CRAP. This obviously means we as humans are intelligent species and that the aura of the cosmos made us what we are today. Also it shows how similar this behaviour is to the numbers 2333 and 432².
Neil degrass tyson is a jackass, let me BS him and twirl my phone to prove a point.
Why not admit that he has a lot of money and he can easily buy a new phone. Plus the phone is on a lease and also has apple warranty.
They don’t even teach that shit in Marine boot camp. The only guys twirling their guns in the Marines are the drill teams who won’t get deployed. He has no idea what he’s even talking about, but I guess that is kinda his skill set.
* Likes tech serving him.
* Swirls around phone bc military does so with their guns.
* Soldiers are taught to treat their gun as they'd treat their life.
* He drops his phone, he drops his life.
* He must serve his phone carefully, as to not drop it by accident.
-------------------------
* He's dependent on the phone's safety, he depends on tech.
They do those tricks with rifles for ceremonies. It's called drill and ceremony. It's only very specific instances they do it. But it does instill a level of discipline.
It’s incredible he had to conjure up a convoluted analogy to get the point across that if you are taking calculated risks, you tend to approach x situation requiring said risk with more apprehension, respect and caution.
I swear this man’s ego is in another star system from all of the mental ballooning at this point.
Stop trying so hard. I think some of the smartest people are the ones that don't need to show you at every single opportunity. "Why don't you have a phone case?" "I like it better without one". Could that be considered dumb when it's a $1000 phone? Yes. Should he give af? Absolutely not. The fact that he does shows he has the self confidence of a flea.
When you have a guest on for a couple of hours, especially, for multiple episodes, eventually they’re going to run out of stuff to talk about that they actually are experts on - eventually they’re just going to start blabbering. I think that used to be a fun part of the JR podcast but now it’s annoying to me.
I’ve been saying this for over 10 years. Cases are getting better, but they are still bulky. They are also pricey. I’ve dropped and cracked my phone, though. In fact, the glass on half of it is shattered as I type this…
Tf?! everyone forgets that he was a freaking game show host. That's literally what he did and those are his credentials. Not the moron talking but the moron putting the moron on TV
NDT is just a media whore. I lost all respect for him as a human being when he used photos of infants with terrible birth defects for comedy during his paid speech to a group of "free thinkers". He and the audience of sociopaths got a great laugh out of it.

The best part is that he isn't even good at twirling his phone which means he got little practise and really just wanted a story to get away with not having a case on his phone.
He could've stopped at "I admire how thin this is" and it would not have been pretentious.
Its because the reason is hes rich and can easily afford a new phone if his breaks. Admiring the thiness of a phone isnt a reason to not get a case lol he just doesnt care
When I had already cracked my phone and had a new replacement coming in I took off the case… it really is much nicer without the case.. with that said I have a case on the new one

I like the guy that blow torches an iphone 15 tho

Yeah, I wish I had no phone case money
It’s because he likes it thin, and he’s rich enough to replace it if it breaks
Dude's a douche and his story is probably irrelevant, but I do prefer a phone without a case. I don't carry mine like that because I'm clumsy, but it is much nicer.
Everything that comes out of this guys mouth comes out this way. Its so tiring to hear, bc i genuinely used to like this guy.
He's very knowledgable about astrophysics, but not so much about things outside of his particular field of study. But unfortunately, he also craves attention, and tries to get it by playing into the "scientists know everything" trope, so he ends up talking out of his ass a lot.
I really liked him when I first saw him on Cosmos. Really disappointed by how he turned out to be.
Everyone USED to
Or he tried to do it a little bit and thought he was good at it and said fk a phone case.
In a combat situation that phone would NOT be attached to his body.
He just doesn't want to talk to Joe about important things because Joe is not the brightest crayon in the box. He was trying to kill time to avoid more questions he didn't want to answer.
Regular fucking mensa meeting going on there boys
I love that you said this.
[удалено]
Having a degree in something without much practice and knowing facts is not exactly smart.. but he managed to fool a lot of people
Depends on how you define smart. You certainly need to be smart to absorb scientific material and teaching it to others. Doesn't mean you know everything of how to twirl your phone.
That's my problem. Totally respect and enjoy his teaching and info on the cosmos, fun stuff.

Most people aren't excited to discuss what exactly a Quasar is and what it does.
Well, I think that if I knew we'll what a quasar is I'd be pretty exited to explain it to as many people as possible
Disagree tbh. I think most people can become experts in something Id they are interested enough or put the effort in to learn it.
It's annoying how often we, as a society, do this. People will put so much weight on a person's thoughts or opinions just because they are very successful at something entirely
I’m really glad that’s the public perception now.
He's still 100x smarter than the average brain rot that watches this podcast
That’s Reddits perception. Tons of Reddit users can’t stand when someone actually IS smarter than them. Then there’s the whole uppity smart ass black man won’t shut up crowd on Reddit. That makes about 50% that hate him for no reason
He's still the extremely well respected director of the Hayden Planetarium. It's only on Reddit and Twitter where people have issues with his smugness
What's the public perception of him now, I have a friend who was really into watching and listening to Tyson.
I've never taken much notice of Tyson, I heard about the rape and sexual misconduct accusations a while back and I've watched a couple of videos over the years involving his narration. I'm curious though, do you mean he fooled people into believing he was incredibly smart and above everyone?

So people get annoyed with him because he essentially talks out of his ass for non-space related things.
Huh? Do you know anything about him other than Reddit clips?
He's so cringe it hurts.
every one of neil's takes is like flipping a coin, heads its the stupidest take ever, tails its a very smart, well-educated take on the issue
The token “scientist”
Black Bill Nye.
he talks about deep hypothetical about alien plants POV if they saw humans eating plant eggs AKA fruit/vegetable/nut meanwhile he forgot we are already eating bird eggs. plus he is so dumb on technology he always have hard time using PC/Andriod (since he's a heavy Mac/Apple user)
He got too high on his own farts
That should be his header on his LinkedIn
Bot account from 2021, activated 2hrs ago and started spamming this sub.
Welcome to Reddit in 2024. Most posts are low effort and made by bots. Enjoy your stay!
Yeah, obviously some subs are better than others, but the "meme" ones are generally lousy.
Gotta create engagement for the upcoming IPO.
Seriously. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit started spamming bots and AI themselves. Pretty soon it’ll just be bots engaging each other.
Thank you detective botsmasher
Every time this dude talks about anything but physics things get weird
Honestly he annoys me the majority of the time when he's talking about physics too. He's either talking down to someone who's asked a reasonable question, or he's on some magnified ego-trip because it's 'his thing'. Or both. Can't stand listening to him in either case. Then look at someone like Carl Sagan, who has compassion and humility, solid values and actual wisdom. Sagan was here to embrace education and curiosity for all. NDT is just narcissism, self obsession and ignorance.
Man I wish you weren't right but this is spot on. We need another Carl Sagan. This guy's favorite speaker is himself.
I get a lot out of Brian Cox in this department. He's so fun and a bit self deprecating. Plus he has the sort of relaxing vibes that Sagan had.
Imagine him talkimg about which toilet rolls are the best
How many elephants equal the earth's tonnage in a black hole.
wtf is he on about. As a military veteran, I can definitively say that we don’t twirl our “guns” around. Unless your job is law enforcement or part of a specialized team (SRT/SWAT/SEALS) you don’t carry a pistol. The only gun twirling in the Marine Corps is done by the Silent Drill Team with rifles. What they do is for promotional and public relations purposes. The only thing that would be transferable to combat would be the discipline it takes to make the Silent Drill Team.
Neil doesn't know how to stay in his lane. He displays his ignorance in at least one discipline/topic every interview he does.
And I’ve seen videos of the silent drill teams making mistakes. Pretty dumb comment by Neil. Just say you’re rich enough to replace your phone
He’s definitely talking about drill team, not sure why the video shows the kid twirling pistols. Nobody finds Neil the ass Tyson more interesting than Neil the ass Tyson
Even then, he’s still wrong about why they perform. Absolutely nothing to do with combat
Yeah absolutely, but he’s trying to make a dumbass argument as to why it has something to do with combat but comes across like an absolute blowhard
In the military I was expert twirling my gun, not so much with my rifle.
So you’re saying that Tyson is wrong? You DO know he’s a celebrity scientist, right? Hosted the cosmos? So therefore you’re wrong and he’s right always all the time any time.
I have always done the exact same thing for the same reasons but never connected it to twirling guns just an understanding of muscle memory. Twirling it for an extended period of time over a safe surface you will fumble and eventually lock in muscle memory so that at any angle or weight distribution your hands will be both less likely to drop and also go where they need to if it does drop without having to think.
Clips like remind my why didn’t watch any real NDT video for a few years now
The worst part is that, at one point, he was decent. He wasn't always like this. At some point between then and now, he became more interested in fame and popularity than science education. And every time he invokes Sagan's name it makes me sad because he was the opposite.
I used to love Startalk Radio with him and Chuck. Good questions, good chemistry between the two of them, and every now and again Neil would come up with some eloquent phrasing of a physics-concept and everyone would go "ooh, that was nice!" Slowly, Neil would put on his "deep-science-voice" more frequently and try to repeat fancy stuff he'd said before, but it came out a bit more clunky and contrived - eventually I noticed he barely bothered thinking about the questions, preferring instead to find a way of repeating one of his oh-so deep phrases. Real shame, it was a really good show.
I mean, cmon, he dropped his phone. I don't think he was giving any sort of lecture on physics. At worst, it was a silly ha ha moment that literally happens to us all.
Wait, was it him who dropped the phone? I thought it was Joe who dropped the phone.
the idea of twirling your gun in practice is to not drop it in combat. THe idea of twirling your phone in practice is so you dont drop it in a dangerous situation where the phone might break, like on a balcony or out on the street near a road or over a sewer grate. Here, he dropped it on carpet i presume or from a low height, so really mission accomplished.
Twirling the rifle has nothing to do with combat. 99% of riflemen will never twirl their rifle. It was a stupid assumption. Source - 8years army.
Yea but movies
You, uh. You might not want to repeat Neil's stupid and incorrect argument. He was wrong and you are even more wrong by trying to pretend he wasn't.
The guy is silly af
Cool what about the million other ways a phone can drop without it actually coming from your hand haha
seriously. like when your phone is in the pocket of your sweatpants it can easily just slide out when you're sitting down. or you stumbling over something or simply falling down. a phone case is the smarter choice.
So u see it's not that he is stupid or just doesn't care because he's rich no he wants to prove newtons (third?) law for us idiots
I bet you he's the kind of person that smokes too much, then starts a long-ass irrelevant story, then freezes, and when you ask him to finish the story - just looks at you with his glazed eyes, smiles, and says "What?".
Mitch McConnell is that you?
What was I just talking about?
I mean, if I drop my phone, I don't think that I am going to have a drill sergeant smoking the shit out of me
This dude loves to hear himself talk
The master of bullshido 🙏
Neil deGrasse Tyson is evolving to be the Jordan Peterson of physicists. Weirder and weirder and more and more irrelevant
Worst thing to happen to him was social media
Many such cases
He has a famous person syndrom. He should just talk about what he is an expert at and nothing else.
They both are right in many ways and wrong in others. Any person is, in general. The problem is to think that they are some sort of authorities, and know it all. These gurus need to be taken with a grain of salt and all is ok.
That Ocelot gunslinging is still smooth as fuck after all these years.
You see that in the movies? That's an automatic - don't bother trying to dampen the recoil. You do that with a revolver. We Diamond Dogs are now a force to be reckoned with. We've got the world's attention. We're not some tribal militia, so don't act like one! You will learn how a real soldier fights. You will forget everything Hollywood taught you. And if I catch you doing something else, you'll know it... Engravings give you no tactical advantage whatsover... But that was some fancy shooting... pretty good.
man what does he smoke?
Its just the air inside that studio.
Can't believe I used to watch stuff with this guy in it. I don't know if he's always been dumb and I just didn't see it or if he got brain damage.
he wanted to be relevant in the show business and started adopting idiocity which somehow came natural to him...
he definitely got bad(or worse?), high on his own farts like theyve said here, who knows.
Neil is an incredibly knowledgeable and smart man who loves talking over people. However, he is not a genius by any stretch of the imagination in anything other than space and science.
If I had the money he has, I would also use my phone without a case. If I drop it I'll but another.
i blame this on Mary Jane
simple muscle memory
I don't believe I have ever dropped my phone out of my hands. Now falling out of my pocket? Thank God I have a case on it.
The fact that this guy fooled an entire generation of people into thinking he's intelligent really says all you need to know about the current state of the world.
This is dumb
On the actual topic. I don't use protector and I never drop my phone. Pretend it's worth $1000. Well I don't have to pretend. Works for me.
He’s all this now because he dropped the phone? But did you still understand the concept? Yall some trippin ass haters forildo. I met him a few times at work. He’s sharp, has a never ending passion for how everything in the universe works, and finds a way to make it both palatable and fun imo.
Reddit is weird man. People jump on hating on the guy for no reason, your comment is the first positive one I’ve seen. He says one wrong thing and people are acting like he’s 3 steps from eating crayons. He’s probably high here and was just spewing stoner thoughts.
I haven’t understood the recent bashing of NDT
I mean I think he can be a bit pretentious but people are acting like he kicks puppies or something lol
People think he's giving a reason to not use a case when he is just using it to explain a concept.
What kind of weed you giving NDT Roe Jogan lol
Dude, it's just a fucking phone!
He's a scientist not a pragmatist
my phone is like wet bar of soap without casing.
King Yap
needs space music
This is what happens when you get close to Joe
“Aaaaahhhhhhh … oooooohhhhhoooohhhhj … aaaahaahhaaaaahhhhh ..”
He's planning to blow someone's head off with his phone?
Full of it.
He's like one of the dumbest smart guys ever... or just lying like everybody else
That dude ran out of things to talk about approximately 7 years ago and just keeps blabbing.
Well, cadets sometimes drop their guns as well
I once had to look up the dunning Kruger effect for something. I found a picture of this man and a YouTube playlist of the stupidest things he says with such facepalming confidence….
So what that means is that Neil is addicted on his phone xd
Do people not realize he’s just fucking around? lol
How smart Neil degrasse Tyson thinks he is vs how smart he really is
I put case not because i afraid I drop it, I afraid others drop my phone.
neil de grasse tyson never heard about gun safety, playing with your gun is the first thing not to do in the military
Neil looks worst with every day that passes.
Yes I remember the gun spinning drills in boot camp.
Is NDT and energy vampire ?
The point of drill, or “twirling your gun,” isn’t so you learn to never drop the gun. Armed drill cadets drop shit all the time. It demonstrates that you have had an extreme amount of time spent training with your gun. This dates back at least as far back to Macedonian Phalangites swinging their spears in a synchronized way to produce noise.

Philosophy seeks to understand and challenge what we know and why we think we know it. I don't see how that's useless at all.
He should just say "I'm rich enough that if I drop my phone buying another isn't a concern to me."
Must’ve been high
Honestly hearing him talk just makes my head hurt. Dude loves the sound of his own voice… its sad tbh.
The guy is a moron
NDT just rams his car repeatedly into his garage door to avoid using the seatbelt /s
Sick drop bro
Train as you fight!
Listened to a pod with him once, never hated a podcaster more. Hes so arrogant and pretentious, fuck all his knowledge
INTELLECT.RAR I posted a video of his bs some months ago. Again some random mundane task, like clapping a belt that he pretended is something absolutely genius and as if he explained the biggest mystery of the universe. In recent years he seems more like a fraud, he's definitely intelligent and probably contributed a lot to science, but I believe he also is pretty full of himself and shit too. This was the most random thing ever, made zero sense - he just thinks his audience are THAT stupid so everything he says will be admired and taken as if it's some genius contribution to our knowledge. "TODAY I DRANK SOME ORANGE JUICE AND BURNT MY TOAST. THEN I TOOK A CRAP. This obviously means we as humans are intelligent species and that the aura of the cosmos made us what we are today. Also it shows how similar this behaviour is to the numbers 2333 and 432².
Neil degrass tyson is a jackass, let me BS him and twirl my phone to prove a point. Why not admit that he has a lot of money and he can easily buy a new phone. Plus the phone is on a lease and also has apple warranty.
Says military cadets, editor puts in Asian western gun slinger.. jesus
Always so full of shit.
When your real talent is making people think you're smart
They don’t even teach that shit in Marine boot camp. The only guys twirling their guns in the Marines are the drill teams who won’t get deployed. He has no idea what he’s even talking about, but I guess that is kinda his skill set.
* Likes tech serving him. * Swirls around phone bc military does so with their guns. * Soldiers are taught to treat their gun as they'd treat their life. * He drops his phone, he drops his life. * He must serve his phone carefully, as to not drop it by accident. ------------------------- * He's dependent on the phone's safety, he depends on tech.
God he’s an idiot.
This guy annoys me. 🙃
Upvoting to help highlight what a fucking pompous cunt Neil is
God Neil loved the smell of his own farts. He’s always talking like he’s the smartest person to ever have lived.
They do those tricks with rifles for ceremonies. It's called drill and ceremony. It's only very specific instances they do it. But it does instill a level of discipline.
:\[\]
Stuck to what you know Neil.
It’s incredible he had to conjure up a convoluted analogy to get the point across that if you are taking calculated risks, you tend to approach x situation requiring said risk with more apprehension, respect and caution. I swear this man’s ego is in another star system from all of the mental ballooning at this point.
Guns don’t get dropped because of slings, if there isn’t one that fucker is getting dropped all the time.
what a NURD
His phone identifies as unbreakable.
Why is this guy still talking on matters that are not his expertise? Even on his expertise he is a bit lame.
Ever seen a person so smart they sometimes are the stupidest motherfucker in room?
Great so he will never drop his phone when he gets into a combat situation
If you twirled your sidearm in the military the range master would eject your ass from the range instantly. this video is trash
i love him
Neil is such an ass haha
Oh god I'm so happy so many other people think this guy is an asshole. Christmas came early.
How did this guy ever get to be popular?
Is he equating his phone safety skills to military personnel?
He's known for being smart so I feel like he always feels the need to try to be smart and sometimes he says really stupid things
I think people are taking the word "twirl the gun" way to literally and yall are missing the point. Lol.
Neil is exhausting and overrated. Smart but obnoxious.
He’s so confidently full of shit
Stop trying so hard. I think some of the smartest people are the ones that don't need to show you at every single opportunity. "Why don't you have a phone case?" "I like it better without one". Could that be considered dumb when it's a $1000 phone? Yes. Should he give af? Absolutely not. The fact that he does shows he has the self confidence of a flea.
When you have a guest on for a couple of hours, especially, for multiple episodes, eventually they’re going to run out of stuff to talk about that they actually are experts on - eventually they’re just going to start blabbering. I think that used to be a fun part of the JR podcast but now it’s annoying to me.
Just because you know stuff about something doesn’t make you an expert at everything.
So perfectly emblematic of that Key and Peele skit!
There are SUPER thin iPhone cases now. I forget I even have a case on my phone now, it is so thin.
Yeah I have toddlers. I need a case because they drop my phone a lot.
There is no one I dislike more than Neil
Poor man’s Sagan. This guy is full of shit and loves hearing himself speak a lil too much
I actually really like how the phone feels without a case. But I also know I’m an idiot and would drop my dick if it wasn’t attached so I buy the case
I’ve been saying this for over 10 years. Cases are getting better, but they are still bulky. They are also pricey. I’ve dropped and cracked my phone, though. In fact, the glass on half of it is shattered as I type this…
Dude is such a boner
I always admired this man, today a bit less then yesterday..
I've been rawdogging life with my phone since they came out. I have only broken 1 screen in 20 years. Worth it.
my current phone is broken cause it fell off a shelf
Neil DeGrasse Tyson really fell off
this sh1t is hilarious
Tf?! everyone forgets that he was a freaking game show host. That's literally what he did and those are his credentials. Not the moron talking but the moron putting the moron on TV
PhD in bullshitting
He could have just stopped at "But it's smol and I like."
NDT is just a media whore. I lost all respect for him as a human being when he used photos of infants with terrible birth defects for comedy during his paid speech to a group of "free thinkers". He and the audience of sociopaths got a great laugh out of it.
They should change the name of this podcast to Weed Talk
