Nagine, were you appeased or terrified by that conversation we just had with one of the founders of all of this?

I was mostly terrified, and now every time I click on a managed cookies thing, I know who to be angry with?

Gary, how about you?

Comfortably numb.

Comfortably numb!

Coming up, one of the architects of the internet that is destroying civilization on StarTalk, special edition.

Welcome to StarTalk.

Your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide.

StarTalk begins right now.

This is StarTalk, special edition, which means I got Gary O'Reilly, co-host here. Gary, how are you doing, man?

I'm good, Neil. Over in London, though, so slightly remote.

Okay, only slightly. On the scale of the universe, you're right next door.

I also have with me, Nagin Farsad, Nigeen, welcome back to StarTalk. Hello, I'm so excited

to be back. It's been too long. I miss you. Absolutely. I have to say, you don't look a day over

the last time we talked about dark matter.

Let me figure out how old I would need to be for that.

You're a comedian.

You're also a tad fellow for social justice.

That's a thing?

I mean, I do comedy that tries to save the world.

Okay.

And it's worked, guys. That's why we live in utopia.
