RIP Anthony❤️

[@StrikerEureka85]

neil degrasse tyson and anthony bourdain together? how the hell did i not hear about this before? how did the universe not blow up from the awesomeness?

[@Kwak444]

Agreed

[@krystalthomas2336]

my thoughts excatly

[@frightenedsoul]

You're right, it expanded, it didn't "explode."

[@nigelhudson662]

Idiot

[@masreklaw6441]

fuck off

[@gcerchio]

"That interview, I just became so enchanted by him, I feel like I've known him my whole life" Niel DeGrasse Tyson on Anthony Bourdain.

[@imcharming4808]

That was striking to say the least.

[@911axe]

RIP Tony. You were here just a couple weeks before you decided enough time had passed. It's an honor to have my location as one of the last few you done. Talk to people when your mind is having trouble people. None of us should have to leave earth like this.

[@PetrucciSatriani]

Huge amount of respect for both of these guys. Especially for Bourdain when he talked about respecting where your food came from and not wasting the ingredient.

[@jonathanjrod]

I appreciate Anthony's remarks regarding Vegans at 10:35 and his perspective on gaining knowledge and understanding about the meat we consume at 20:06. It's not merely a piece of steak or a hamburger; it goes beyond that. If one had to raise their own cattle and personally participate in the process of slaughter, there would likely be greater respect and appreciation for the animals we consume. People should strive to be more self-aware about the meat we consume today. It's disheartening how a multitude of animals are being mass-slaughtered due to our unrestrained meat consumption, often in inhumane and tormenting environments

[@briankorbelik2873]

Your posting should have a lot more likes. Perhaps many Americans listens to what Anthony has to say about facing the animal that you're going to eat or at least being aware of cruel farming conditons and they say "Yeah, Yeah", and it goes in one ear and out the other. I'm not a vegan but a first class carivore.

[@dlerious77]

I spent 20 years in kitchens, read all of Bourdains books and love the interview you had with him. Although I am not in the service industry any longer I try to this day to help people understand the science behind the scenes of food and love this Startalk. Neil you the Man

[@enrrwa]

Still Cant believe it. Your shows brings a shine of light when things go dark for me.. Rest in Peace Anthony Bourdain and thank you for the inspirations

[@humanbeing2009]

A rare find and gem with two great people. Damn I miss Anthony.

[@todderschannel4705]

Whatever differences we have. Food is one thing that brings us together.

[@shesheandtheblues6289]

So many years later and this was on my KZbin recommendations...we miss you Anthony 🥂

[@nhall022]

Anthony Bourdain is one of the coolest dudes of all time

[@aminman15]

Love it when I realise I've stumbled on a KZbin gem; two of my favourite people in conversation. Suddenly it's happy hour!

[@SakuraR17]

Had to come back to this video because it mixed two of my favorite celebrities. Can't believe he's gone. I'm utter shocked and beyond sadness. First, Bocuse and now him. Please,world..let the icon momentum going for a while,don't take them oh so soon.

[@atticusreads]

"Professionals learn through getting it wrong, getting it wrong, getting it wrong, getting it wrong, starting to get it right, getting it right"

[@RichieDb2]

Bourdain mentioned the bitter component in the Philippines. Very true. We have dishes like 'papaitan' where bile is literally the main ingredient in the dish, and we love the vegetable ampalaya (bitter gourd) which is excellent in combating symptoms of diabetes.

[@daverumpel]

RIP Anthony Bourdain ☹️

[@shack276]

Tony was a true ambassador of the United States.

[@TheRealDarrylStrawberry]

Isn't it amazing that a man with such vast knowledge could be interested in topics like food? A true thinker Dr. Tyson is.

[@redrockinrobin700]

Is this real life? Anthony Bourdain and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Just so much awesomeness.

[@willvr4]

I can't believe I haven't seen this before. I was looking for Bourdain tributes and heard about it, and I love me some NDT. RIP my brother, this planet lost one of the most insightful human beings to ever live. :(

[@csandovalbosox]

two of my favorite human beings. RIP tony.

[@christopherorwell6846]

Eugene Mirman, Neil Degrasse Tyson, and Anthony Bourdain in one show... hell ya.

[@hevytimes]

I swear in response to this, I would LOVE to see him interview and talk to Alton Brown. I could listen to that for hours.

[@ill2molly]

The Tyson - Bourdain bromance is the stuff we live for.

[@hhelenawang]

We are so lucky to have lived when Anthony Bourdain did.

[@rebelliousnature4795]

RIP Anthony Bourdain... your are one of a kind and are my personal favorite TV personality to date, loved the fact that his taste of both food and music are both mine as well, well maybe not exactly food but definitely music at least

[@crcaccounts]

Loved the interview portions, but found the cuts back to the studio roundtable to be mostly useless.

[@rogerlephoque3704]

I was once sipping an ice-cold beer in a Bangkok bar, the sanctuary of choice for anyone studying the local fauna and flora. I caught sight of a frisky Frenchman teasing a local Thai lady with a tranch of Epoisses cheese dangled in front of her face. The doughty lady fled in terror, the cheese's malodorous character causing her to bolt in a whoosh...

[@FloydeXXNatural]

I love the wisdom and soul the Anthony speaks with. I love Neil too of course, but specifically I love what Anthony talks about here. He speaks from such a place of truth and transcendence. I wish more people would uncover and develop that side of themselves. The world would be a better place..

[@booiiiiibsyoutube]

What A Beautiful Being Anthony Bourdain

[@2lua2lua]

Awesome video ! Anthony Bourdane and Neil deGrasse Tyson are 2 of my favorite people .

[@MrKamran2108]

One of the most informative interviews I have ever seen. And not from KZbin bloggers but from respected professionals.

[@DigitalDesignET]

I miss Anthony Bourdain, all the way from Ethiopia.

[@bigrip5403]

DeGrassi and Bourain, epic. 2 of my most favorite people

[@dontsettlefor500mill]

those are two totally different folks.

[@freddymarcel-marcum6831]

This is what public access TV used to be like, you never knew who in the hell would be interviewed, could be the mayor, could be a bus driver.

[@redhotz21]

Two of my favorite people: Tyson and Bordain

[@compactdisk2]

This is the least expected, yet awesomest group of people ever together in a video.

[@Happyturtlebeach]

Mr. Bourdain, I feel exactly as you do, respect for animals and nature. Let your food live happily, kill it quickly and waste nothing.

[@alflurin]

From the age of 7, I was raised in the countryside and the first time I saw a pig slaughtered, I felt like shit for eating meat. Worse than that, I saw the pig as a friend (laugh all you want, it's all right) so it was traumatizing moment for a city born 7 year old boy. Back then, vegetarianism or veganism were mostly unknown, so although I still eat meat, I hate people who love the eat a steak but won't eat tripe or blood pudding because it's deem disgusting. And I eat small amounts of meat, a couple of times a week and preferably from sustainable sources. Bourdain was one of a dying breed. Free thinker, honest, f*** the establishment, amazing and a true champion of food discovery.

[@Diabolos1]

Most entertaining and interesting episode. Thank you, Nerdist. Anthony Bourdain is always a joy to listen to.

[@arnoldrivas4590]

I recognize the professor of nutrition. She came out in a few moments in Spurlock's classic film, Super Size Me!! The intertwining moments with Bourdain are pretty interesting as well. I watched his entire No Reservations series and now a fan of Parts Unknown.

[@v.e2035]

Neil and Eugene are 2 opposite sides of the philosophically enriched mind. 💙 Anthony had a perspective of the world few were privlaged to... And even fewer learned from his legacy. Thank you Anthony. May your legend never die. 🔥💙💜

[@jamesszatkowski5755]

Astrophysicist meets Chef/Author/TV Star - you ROCK!

[@AmericanPatriot1776AP]

I really miss Anthony Bourdain traveling the world, eating great cuisine, drinking with all the wonderful people and cultures. I do not believe he committed suicide. RIP

[@drakekay6577]

I totally enjoyed the conversation at the end. It touches base on how Diverse the tool "Goldie Locks Zone" is in reality. How water boils differently at different altitudes, our liquid water sits in a zone starting under it, and stretching high into the sky(depending on the number of total molecules balancing across the center of mass). It would be in a completely different state without this region being "Goldie Locks". There are so many things in reality that require a balanced environment like that. The Electrons line up in a boundary held together by Electromagnetic regions.

[@keno7]

Eugene is cracking me up for this whole thing. Just reconfirmed how much I love him on Bob's Burgers.

[@Truthiness231]

I have a newly found appreciation for Anthony (I've seen his regular show.. not a fan of watching people eat...); I really didn't think of him as a knowledge bank of culinary tricks, but surely (due to his show) he knows better than most about food and it's meshing with culture (something I don't often think of going together).

[@hank1972]

2 of my top 10 writers/thinkers/celebrities.

[@peterchristensen7363]

StarTalk is amazing! Keep up the great work.

[@jackiefreeborn2563]

“If you’re eating meat, it’s a dead animal”. “Go on Neal....” Laughed out loud.

[@jessechia548]

I didn't realize you could tell when a steak is ready just by hearing it on the pan. I've seen them test it with their finger on Hell's Kitchen. I've also seen Marco Pierre White say that you can tell by looking at the juices just appearing on the surface of the steak.

[@JamesKeithProduction]

And if you've played baseball your whole life, you can tell how far a ball was hit by listening with eyes closed.

[@justinthymes5680]

Great vid,2 of my favorites,Bourdain rules.And great info as always!!!!

[@sexmagician222]

What an amazing series! Every time Neil opens his mouth I learn something new and incredible. He kind of looks like Lando Calrissian as well, and that is badass.

[@TheAverlorn]

Where can we see the whole interview with Anthony Bourdain?

[@MyC001YoungHistory]

Two of my favorite individuals in one video...perfect.

[@Think890]

I love this show so much, simply because I learn something new every time.

[@MrKaneShadow]

2 of the most interesting men in the modern culture.

[@Bwolber]

Huge respect for Anthony and his position on ethical meat eating.

[@tanbui7869]

Super interesting conversation. How I wish I could do this. I will do this. And you'll know different things, different mindset.

[@ryancove951]

I am always amused at people who believe that animals (humans) eating other animals is wrong and awful, despite the fact that animals have been eating animals for as long as there have been animals.

[@TheUltimateGC]

Oh man, everything about this is so awesome.

[@RACHELLEflo]

I just saw this lady on a Amazon prime video. Holy Chicken! Came here for Anthony..I miss him.😥

[@gloriamitchell3518]

Loved re-watching

[@jakeduke6316]

this should be the late show or a morning talk show on the local channels (love star talk)

[@peachesandsunshine9]

Hey, it would be really awesome if there will be a Star Talk show on the science of wine! I think this is of considerable correlation to many discoveries in science as a cork-popping of wine usually followed suit :)

[@resonantdave]

Space, food, and a comedian. Better than porn.

[@fajarsetiawan8665]

If you worked as a chef in restaurant, a very fast-paced restaurant like what Bourdain did. You will get scolded if they found you using thermometer to check whether the steak is medium-rare or not. Their advice is basically like every homecook moms, "put your finger on that steak, check the meat." That's all. It's a play of your senses and not depending on technology.

[@DarkSeeker777]

Great interview!!!

[@goliathsinatra2912]

Really enjoyed the show Eugene was hilarious thank you for asking and breaking down the science talk. 👍🏼

[@perthyren4567]

You will be missed Tony Bourdain

[@jamesmcdonnell2394]

Damn, Eugene, every, every time he opens his mouth I laughed out so loud. Such a cool funny guy. Great for the show, great to have him. And Anthony and Dr. Nestle ... Great guests so interesting to hear from and listen to, just as my favorite, Neil, always seems to be.

[@leonardschofield9913]

there needs to be a part 2

[@bartbrya991]

great show, putting a great mind like yours and brinig it into every day stuff breaking it down got a gift man

[@j.d.3597]

Two of the most interesting men on the planet in one place, I LOVE IT!

[@peachesandsunshine9]

Thanks, I didn't know that he has been doing these radio talk shows for years!

[@jakefrankrone5850]

At 19:58 when he said "I would punch an animal, I would murder it with my fist", I laughed so hard. That old lady looked shocked and Neil looked like he was just trying not to laugh.

[@8dukesbats4]

anything dr. tyson does is golden...he just genuinely makes me happy

[@dingo4229]

Neil's chest hair game is on point

[@p_nk7279]

I see similarities between Lou Reed and Anthony Bourdain: background, sensibilities, innovation, finding your niche, dislikes, punk-edginess… etc. (Even looks!) They have a lot in common as I’ve read (semi-studied) their lives, output, influence. I admire them both!

[@ErikVaughnDillinger]

I'm sure someone already said this but the fat Buddha or Budai is actually a Chinese folklore diety, he is not Gautama Buddha.

[@JuandelaCruz001]

Correct. That would be the Chinese "Ho Tai" aka Budai and is not THE Buddha.

[@danpt2000]

ErikVaughnDillinger What happened to Buddhism in India?

[@anidadron]

danpt2000 It got gradually wiped out by the Muslim invasion of the 12th century and was almost totally gone by the 19th century except for some small pockets. It's now making a comeback there.

[@danpt2000]

Ani Dadron So the Muslims in India got crowded out by the Hindus? Wow religious people suck. Sooo intolerant.

[@anidadron]

Pretty much.

[@glacier2win]

That's exactly what I said when I saw the video title! I love StarTalk.

[@leonardschofield9913]

Science is so cool. I never got this in school.

[@kristinelizabethfontenot7578]

Omg there is so much stuff to learn in this science book....I'm definitely not smart enough at all to figure this out by myself

[@foodiedna126]

Thank you for this. So sad that Bourdain is gone.

This was absolutely great.

[@CrashproofCode]

A pleasure at always to watch/listen to startalk :) Although this wasn't *star*talk, it still featured Neil and Eugene :D

[@turysalcido4219]

It's odd to see deGrasse so lost, and clueless as he is toward the food industry. He had no idea that there were nutrition professors, that said this show kicks ass! a cheff a genius and a professor of jokes what a night;) and Bordain is Great! .

[@illuddivinus3309]

You’re a fucking moron if you think he was lost, one of Neil Degrasse Tyson‘s best attributes is to claim ignorance sometimes so that the guest has the opportunity to educate. Plus if anything Neil Degrasse Tyson was ahead of his curve, as he accurately pointed to Bourdain whether or not he is worried that certain pathogens or viruses can jump from species to species from eating them. We all know what COVID-19 is…

[@arturoarambula2814]

Wow love these two guys and their point of views

[@razony]

I remember Anthony on KZbin when No Reservations was on. This guy clicked with me. When I pass from this place, I want to meet Anthony Bourdain than anyone else. Only family do I want to meet up as much. Let's have some pork and ice cold beer baby!
