Two Truths and a Lie with Neil deGrasse Tyson | StarTalk
Today we're here with Neil deGrasse Tyson, and we are going to play a game called "Two Truths and a Lie." We each are going to present each other with two things that are true, one thing that is false, and we each have to guess who is faking each other out.
Ready to play? Ready! So please hit me.
Number one: I own an actual fountain pen used by Isaac Newton. I own more than 100 cosmic neckties. I own more than 2,000 books on science.
There's some pretty good ones! I think your lie is the fountain pen.
Why? Because I know you have your cosmic tie game really on point, so I'm pretty sure that one's definitely true. And I've got to say, you're a man of science, so I'm pretty sure your science book collection has to blow everybody else out of the water.
So I want to, I really wanted to say that that one in like my heart of hearts has got to be true. But I mean, I know you have a love for Isaac Newton, so I think you're trying to throw me off the scent.
You're right! Yes, so I threw in a clue just to help you out because fountain pens weren't invented until the 1800s. All right, he would have used a quill pen, not a family man.
All right, let's see if I can fool you. I wanted to be a meteorologist as a child. Jon Bon Jovi is a close family friend. I've never seen Star Wars.
I've never met anyone else who said they were a close family friend of Jon Bon Jovi, and somebody out there has to be, so let it be you.
So, I'd have to go with the third one: I have never met anyone who hasn't seen at least one episode of Star Wars. So you were lying!
Yeah, I've never seen any Star Wars film ever. Never in my life, not one!
Source: A crew that is receiving it is true, and I'm wrong. You got that one wrong. The lie is that Jon Bon Jovi is a close family friend. That's the one!
What? That's the one line! I might be from New Jersey, but not everybody from New Jersey knows Jon Bon Jovi, it turns out.
Well, thank you for playing "Two Truths and a Lie." Sure! I think we all learned a little something about you today, a little bit.
