Welcome to StarTalk.

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

StarTalk begins right now.

Co-host today, Chuck Knight.

Hey, Neil.

Always good to be here at the Cosmic Crip.

And who are we making a sandwich with here?

We've seen him before.

Yes, we have. We did. The one, the only, the inimitable. Adam Savage. Adam, welcome back. Thank you very much. It was like your third time on StarTalk. It's been too long since I've been in this office. And it's been too long. We enjoyed your last visit.

And I feel like we're lifelong friends,

even though we've only had a few times together.

It feels like culturally. Yeah, we like bounce and a lot. The cultural VIN diagram has quite the area where you two overlap. And that creates the friendship even without individual time together. I see what you're doing and I think,

oh, that's awesome. That's great. Cool, man. So we've got you on. You actually have a new book.

I do. Holy cow. I'll talk about your book. What are you saying? You have it. I'll do the talking about your book. Okay. Okay. That looks better. Doesn't it? That is. That's called public relations.

When he talks about his book, it's Bradget.

When you talk about it, it's Public Relations.

There you go.

But enough about me.

What did you think of my book?

So, every tool's a hammer.

Great title.

And this, you know, my favorite picture in here is there's a lot of interesting pictures like you in your workshop and your, my favorite is the stuff that you dumped out of your backpack. Oh. But then neatly organized it. Oh, yeah. That was just cool. Like seeing what's it. And I like John Hodgman's comment. He said, this is a map of his brain. Nice. I thought that was a very good comment. If I feel like venturing into that unknown territory. Yeah, for some people, you don't want to go there? Right. But for Adam Savage, yeah, you want to see what's been driving him his whole life. That is so funny. Some people you don't want to go there. My wife left her, she journals.
