back in the 1990s, Art Bell's debate callers were at least real. whether you agreed with them or not, they were mostly real. John sounds like a potential plant or provocateur, like he himself doesn't even believe what he's saying

No, he's the best they've got. We've come a long way since 1993. People's bullshit detectors are much more powerful now.

John has every marker of a true believer that is totally blind to everything that disproves their theory.

That maybe why it kind of stinks, like it maybe all about making it look silly, get a verbal jujitsu science guy with cranky beliefs and all bets maybe off.

For fuck sake. End this debate. This guy is a waste of time.

Now, here, I must disagree. For whatever reason--there are people who believe this shit. How can they be brought back to rationality, if their champion is not pummeled repeatedly about the shoulders and torso?

If Earth is flat, why doesn't all the water in the oceans just flow over the edges?

And how do airliners fly around the world? Must be a magic trick.

This is like listening to a professor trying hard to keep a first year student interested in the subject...without being rude and without failing the guy right off the bat. Patience is required.

hahajajahahaha this student should drop out a school

We Fold Space Time like Dune ! Pilots up !

popple · August 05, 2015, 10:46:51 PM

With all due respect.... the only real point Jon has is on the top of his widdle itty bitty head

K_Dubb · August 05, 2015, 10:46:54 PM

It's settled science -- RCH reference.

Jackstar · August 05, 2015, 10:46:56 PM

Hear that? "This is hard, settled science."

ItsOver · August 05, 2015, 10:46:56 PM

Is this Art's show or a Saturday Night Live routine?

3OctaveFart · August 05, 2015, 10:46:57 PM

Stop the fight.

Zoxo · August 05, 2015, 10:46:58 PM

SURELY THS SHOW IS JUST A TEST TO SEE IF WE ARE ABLE TO USE THE WORMHOLE OR NOT.... CAUSE I'M WONDERING IF I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS MESSAGED THE WORMHOLE TO DROP THIS GUY?

zeebo · August 05, 2015, 10:46:59 PM

I'm kind of impressed Jon actually has such quick answers (albeit nonsensical ones).

The earth is flat, eh? STOP! THIS GUY HEAD IS ALSO FLAT.

His head is as flat as his IQ timeline since birth.

trostol · August 05, 2015, 10:47:07 PM

To quote Art..."Turn it off, turn it all the way off." That is what I'm going to do with this horseshit. I'm done.

I'm about to turn it to Noory if Jon stays on much longer.

Jocko Johnson · August 05, 2015, 10:47:36 PM

We never to the moon and the russkie's never called us out, right?

doctor weird · August 05, 2015, 10:47:38 PM

SHOTS FIRED!!

nextgen.fm · August 05, 2015, 10:47:38 PM

this flattie wants his own show i think

CoherentBlast · August 05, 2015, 10:47:42 PM

So am I to understand that the word 'debate' means dumb guy learns from smart guy?
Whats funny is this clown believes this crap, well that and you can make money telling a huge lie

JamesMcDonald · August 05, 2015, 10:47:43 PM

Now that they've mentioned Pluto, are all of you as excited as I am about finally getting to see that baby close up?

I've been waiting 50 years to see that beast.

Maybe we should just talk amongst ourselves? lol

Pumamama · August 05, 2015, 10:47:48 PM

Art? Heather?

really not being snarky: Are you trying to lose your audience?

Yep it's all there in the data, somewhere.

Royal_Tenenbaum · August 05, 2015, 10:47:51 PM

I really think it's time for Albert Taylor. I need a pleasant guest that's goofy and fun.

John has every marker of a high functioning schitzephrenic.

Inglorious Bitch · August 05, 2015, 10:48:01 PM

Ugh. How long will this go on?

grizpsych · August 05, 2015, 10:48:04 PM

Please end this Art. This guy is no longer entertaining.
