Talk Heathen is filmed in front of a live studio audience every week at the Freethought Library of the Atheist Community of Austin.

Ironically he bases his theory on atmospheric effect.
The moon does look wavy seeing it through a telescope. It's literally the air above you causing that. It's a well known phenomenon called "seeing" in astronomy. If its really windy, "seeing" is bad. If the air is still "seeing" is good.
“We all live in a crater on the moon”.
This is insanity.

Herbert is trolling 😂
Sometimes I like to pretend that the callers are totally right, and this one guy with the “reflection” theory is BLOWING MY MIND.
This,may be the best caller yet.
The word planet actually comes from the Greek work for wanderer. Ancient Greeks noticed that compared to the relatively static appearances of the constellations, planets seemed to move around. Which of course wouldn't happen if space is some sort of reflection of an unmoving object. Though I'm not really surprised Herb doesn't understand that considering how regularly they conflated liquid, gas, and plasma.
My instinct is to tell the guy to get his eyes checked 😂 I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference, but if he thinks the moon and stars look different than most ppl do, and that's his only argument, I'd suggest his eyes are having difficulty seeing things at those distances, even looking through a telescope.
@UngoogleableMan

He just doesn't understand what he's looking at. He's actually correct. Look at the moon through a telescope, and it will look "wavy". Thats a well known phenomenon called "atmospheric seeing". If its windy "seeing" is bad, and the image is very wavy. If the air is still, it won't be distorted It's literally just air distorting the view.
He forgot his medication several weeks ago
Dudes a troll.. he wanted to waste time and got his wish.
They’re going to have to design a lot more emojis for me to demonstrate the number of facial expressions I went through listening to Herbert.
Seems like, if the "moon" is a reflection, then maybe we could find the crater we're in by the details we can see through a high powered telescope. Maybe we could find areas that we know such as the Pacific Ocean (since that's the largest region we know), and maybe we could test whether we can see the reflection of any activity we conduct on the moon, such as a bright light. Also, you could communicate with other people by sending light signals into the sky and they would get reflected back through the plasma. This is all testable, but not falsifiable.
This guy’s trolling, hard.
Literally 10 seconds of this man speaking extemporaneously is pretty much all anyone needs to be convinced of his veracity (or lack thereof)
I would have hung so after he said we live in a crater on the moon 😂
I was on board with him not trolling until the Moonmons. Damnit I loved his Crater world idea, it needs love but that's just cool sci-fi.

Claimapalooza. That's this call
Following the good laugh this caller unintentionally gave us, allow me to share some quotes that are credited to arguably the greatest author and humorist America ever produced, Samuel Clemens: - But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most? - Faith is believing in that which I know ain't so. - It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me. It is the parts that I do understand. - Man js a marvelous curiosity... he thinks he is the Creator's pet... he even believes the Creator loves him, has a passion for him, sits up nights to admire him, and watches over him and keeps him out of trouble. He prays to Him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea? - You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd, and primitive stories, and you say that _we_ are the ones that need help?
