Discussion on MythVision Podcast (Flat Earth Caller Debunked Live!)

Dave appears on the MythVision podcast to discuss the flat earth phenomenon, in particular the recent devastation that was the David Weiss debate. To mix things up Derek invites a flat earther to call into the show, and comedy ensues. Only to be watched by those who are not sick of my flat earth content. You've been warned!

Professor Dave, I hope my comment makes it to your eyes at some point. I know you’re a busy guy so reading every comment on your YouTube channel is likely impossible. But I’ll leave this in the hope that you see it at some point. Mostly I want to say thank you. My daughter has some slight learning disabilities and her mother, my ex wife, is a flat earther. My daughter is 15 but with her learning issues has roughly a 2nd or 3rd grade math and science capability. Her mother had at one point attempted to “teach” my kid flat earth garbage. Basically, she was unsuccessful in part because I found your channel. The higher level debunks were a bit over her head, as physics and some other things are a bit out of reach for her still. But your videos that used zero science and only needed observation are the thing that made the switch flip in her brain. So you at bare minimum helped a LOT in saving her from the flat rabbit hole. We watched several of your other debunk videos and a lot of the more intricate science started to stick with her as well. Then, as I searched around on your channel, I found your tutorial videos. They’re absolutely amazing and are helping her with every aspect of math and science in school. They’re presented in a way that’s perfect for her. So we’ve been going through a bunch of your older videos and hitting all the stuff that’s at her level. And that level is going up very quickly! Plus, it’s given her a way to get legitimately interested in science, which had not been the case before. Your channel has become an invaluable resource for my family. I thank you so much!

I laughed at how the host tried to get Dave to go easy on the callers, then the 1st caller came on and showed exactly why Dave treats them with such contempt.

[Jaylohalo]

As a junior college dropout, I found myself going down the YouTube rabbit hole and started to believe some of this garbage, Dave really brought me back down to earth, I appreciate him so much

[davidrosen]

Tre debunked the flat-earth nonsense himself just by saying "not all flat earthers believe the same thing." That's the problem! there is no one single flat earth theory. They're all different. meanwhile, those of us who live in reality, all believe the same thing about the earth

[hotblackdesiato]

"Response to Globebusters - The Earth Still Isn't Flat" with nearly 11 million views, is still the gold standard in debunking flat earth. Plus it's funny as hell. It makes me laugh every time I watch it! Professor Dave rules.

I used to be in the "Dave is too mean" camp, but after watching what he's had to put up with and how they treat him over the course of three years, I can hardly blame him.

[ElPato_rof]

As chilean, flat earth is so "north-hemisphere centric" that it buffles me.

[mitchellcarter]

Tre, in typical flat-earther fashion, made zero effort to be intelligent whatsoever.

[Mike-zxsl]

I love how Dave is like "No I will absolutely be a dick, I'm just tired of this" every time this comes up lmao

[svoidsofinfinitechaos]

The first caller was a perfect encapsulation of why it feels like arguing with a brick wall with flat earth believers.

[gracefulsledge]

Dave's tone towards these (DANGEROUS) con men is one of his best qualities.

[davek]

I've been a Christian and have read the Bible for over 30 years. I've never thought the Bible taught anything about a flat earth.

“Debating” a flat earther is like playing chess with a pigeon. It doesn’t matter what you do they will just strut around, shit on the board and declare themselves the winner.

[Anglomachian]

I can kind of see how some people would get mad at Prof Dave for being so dismissive, but when the people he’s talking to are literally just saying “Nope, that don’t happen, ” as “proof” for what they believe, frankly they don’t deserve better.

[rutsoluo]

they don’t want to fly over Antartica because they are afraid to fall into the void

[gustavson]

"Spectroscopy need a container"

[DallasPlanB]

That 1st caller is just embarrassing for the human race

[dennisd]

You know that Tre is working night shifts at UPS trying to figure out how to steal iPhones from the line, deadass trying to yell at a professor about science, classic 2023 moment

[theuglystreamer]

Omg the NASA government jew penguins caught me off-guard I needed that kind of laugh

[GoldenTV]

Guys the flat earthers actually have compelling arguments. I mean I saw Professor Daves convulated answer, but then the flat earther refuted back with "Nuh uh, it fake, grug no understand". I mean we all know the flat earther won this.
