So Harrison, if you loved Einstein before, how do you love the man now? Oh my gosh, so much. And I already loved him. I had a t-shirt when I was a kid of Albert Einstein on a surfboard. So you a geek kid?

Oh, 100%. And was that like a back-handed reference to gravitational waves? I think I didn't know that at the time, but now I do. Who knew that Einstein's schmorgers board left crumbs for the rest of us to discover and win Nobel prizes on? Oh my gosh, all that and more.
