Neil deGrasse Tyson On Aliens, Simulation Theory, and What Happens Inside A Black Hole

Where this was said

Intro

Before the conversation begins in earnest, Steven Bartlett delivers a Helix Sleep sponsorship segment, noting that a team member reported it was the best sleep of his life and citing a Helix study showing 82% of participants saw increased deep sleep. The cold open also serves as a rapid-fire trailer for the episode itself: Neil deGrasse Tyson briefly addresses Obama's alien comments, the nature of black holes (you will snap into two pieces at the base of your spine — 'and that's not even the worst part'), and whether we're living in a simulation. The teasers are deliberately designed to hook the listener before the main conversation begins at the 2:19 mark.
