Transcription

Tyson: So you invented the voice?

Oz: Yeah.

Tyson: Did anyone tell you, speak this way? How could anyone possibly tell you to speak that way, because no one had ever spoken that way before?

Oz: Right. You know why he says that? Why he talks that way?

Tyson: I've no idea.

Oz: There's always a reason for something.

Tyson: I've come to learn that as a scientist. Yeah?

Oz: My view of it is- first of all, it was Larry and George who wrote it- and I said, hey, this is nice- they use it halfway, and I said, can I do it all the time? They said yeah.
