They only have the …
They only have the Root and the fifth in common. Its the exclusive notes that they each have that give them their “color” up against certain chords.

The Minor …
The Minor Pentatonic is: First-Flat 3rd- Fourth-Fifth-Flat seventh (in relation to major scale degrees)

The Major Pentatonic is First-Second-third-fifth-sixth (also in relation to major scale degrees of that same key)

Therefore, they do not have the same notes as each other but the major pentatonic is bringing out more of the major scale degrees to compliment the chords differently.

That´s correct !.. …
That´s correct !.. it´s the same shape, i mean it´s like you were playing E minor pentatonic, the only thing is that the root note changes.

That was funny …
That was funny right.

You see, I don’t know anything about music theory. I just memorized a bunch of scales and I play them up and down the neck like a manic. Gives me a massive endorphin rush.

no, modes are another thing. you don’ t have to learn a lot about this kind of concept that he explained in the video. just think it like this:
the major scale has the same notes (and the same shape) of the minor scale. the difference is in the root. it’ s the same thing for the pentatonic scales. hope i helped you =)
ps: if i made mistakes in my english, sorry. i’ m italian

it’s simple, all …
it’s simple, all the major scale has the parallel minor scale.
So G major has the same notes as E minor. The different is just 3 steps. A major = F# minor, etc. If you learn that, you can simply change the scales.
