Tyson v Rogan Moon Hoax [NSFW]

[Warning, there is a lot of language in this debate…bad language*]

This is a debate/discussion ( audio | video ) between NdT and Comedian Joe Rogan. Rogan is known for entertainment stuffs but he is also known for being a total Moon Hoaxer.

4.25 stars. BEST

He debated Phil Plait, the Bad Astronomer, on Penn Jillette’s show in 2007, twice. The first time Phil was the clear winner but the second time Rogan, well he didn’t come off as more convincing but he certainly got more points in and was louder.

This was a different thing, though. Rogan didn’t get loud and obnoxious and Tyson was his charming self as usual. Nothing new in terms of the Moon Hoax debates goes. In fact, this was a general dialogue on conspiratorial thinking though they definitely talk about specific claims and even watch videos (good radio) and become quite impressed.

This is great because of how open-minded Rogan is to the fact that he does believe something that is pretty crazy. I say check this one out for Tyson’s general points on combating conspiracy theories and because of the good nature behind the debate.

Phil Plait and Joe Rogan go more point to point and I detail that in this post.

Technical: Great AQ but it is audio only.


*I lol’d irl at Rogan’s “fuckery a foot” comment.
