Time travel becomes tattoo material on First We Feast
Neil deGrasse Tyson's explanation gives Joe Santagato an unexpected takeaway in a Hot Ones Game Night excerpt.

Neil deGrasse Tyson just blew @JoeSantagato's mind 🤯
First We Feast served up a physics lesson with its chicken wings, and Joe Santagato found a potential tattoo in the answer. Asked whether humans will ever time travel, Neil deGrasse Tyson distinguishes traveling into the future from returning to the past, then explains how traveling through space can leave someone aging differently from the people back on Earth.
His most philosophical formulation lands near the end: "You are a prisoner of the present in your timeline, forever transitioning between your inaccessible past and your unknowable future." Santagato's response is considerably less cosmic: "That would be a fire tattoo!"
That excerpt, "Neil deGrasse Tyson just blew @JoeSantagato's mind 🤯", is the week's most-watched new upload, with roughly 4.2 million views. Viewers have turned the discussion into jokes about sleeping their way to tomorrow and moving through time one second at a time. Others connect Tyson's explanation to Interstellar.
Across fifteen uploads, Tyson supplied plenty more material, including flying cars, spaghettification and a Game Night moments compilation. The time-travel and flying-car clips also carry the strongest daily momentum among the channel's active videos. Elsewhere, Peter Dinklage's New York punk days got a throwback, while Maya Hawke received a mid-wing reminder not to chew with her mouth open.
The channel collected about 41 million views over the week, with daily viewing now more than twice its usual level, though its subscriber total stayed unchanged. Among nearby interview channels, Shawn Ryan Show also had a particularly busy week, while Team Coco's daily viewing was below its norm. For First We Feast, the distinctive ingredient was an astrophysicist holding a wing and giving Santagato rather more to consider than his next bite.
