Neil, you have a new book out called Just Visiting This Planet and you’re writing from the perspective of Merlin, which was also your longstanding column, and you have people writing in questions that you’re answering. One of my favorites from the book is when someone asked, >> you actually read people’s books. >> I read everybody’s books. Yeah, >> I take this. I’m proud of you. But there was one question that asked if aliens could theoretically see our television broadcasts. And you said that. >> No, this is Merlin said this. >> Oh, Merlin. I’m so sorry. Merlin. Yeah, I’m just channeling Merlin. [laughter] >> Merlin said that it is theoretically possible that there is an alien civilization that has viewed all of our society through the lens of one TV show. If there was one TV show that our society could be judged on, what do you think it should be? >> Well, we won’t have that option cuz they’ll just get whatever TV shows are washing over their location in the galaxy. And the earliest ones would be Howdy Dudy. >> Mhm. Uh Amos and Andy. You’ll be embarrassed that [laughter] if you see Amos, >> you worry for us if the aliens see Amos and Andy. >> Yeah. And there’s the honeymooners. You surely have seen honeymooners. And in there they might learn how men and women treat each other. And occasionally HE SAYS TO THE MOON, ALICE, [snorts] gesturing that he will hit her >> hard enough to send her to the moon. So the aliens will wonder, hm, how far away is the moon? Is this a real threat? [laughter] Is this is this how the men and women treat each other on that planet? So you got 1930s and 40s and early 50s that wave that is what they’re going to see. And I’m pretty sure they will conclude there’s no sign of intelligent life on Earth. [laughter] >> Here’s some saving grace. Okay. >> The show Beas and Butad, Beas and Butad primarily was distributed by cable. >> Mhm. So that’s not >> So it’s not in the airwaves going out to space. >> The aliens will never see succession. >> That’s correct. That sucker foam.
