Mark K. Sargent

They do make some good arguments.

And then, especially when you listen to Mark Sargent, I mean, he just, he knows exactly what's going on here.

Um, AJ styles.

Listen, here's what we're going to do.

Um, my, the f-

Mark Sargent?

No, it was never-

That would be Mark Sargent or no?

It was Mark Sargent, but, um-

Yeah.

[laughs]

Like-

Weiss just can't stay off that hook.

Anyway, he was supposed to face off against faceless foes Mark and Dee Rimmer, brave newcomers to the Globe Squad.

But after spewing his typical pointless script for upwards of an hour, it's time for the reveal.

David, you know what summation of forces means? Let me make my points, okay? So, Elektra, would you agree that we manipulated electrostatics and made things go up and down? I agree that

It's all a theory, Dave, you don't understand.

He doesn't know what a theory means.

Yep, Mark and Dee Rimmer were just Flat Earth debunkers, MC Toon, and Fight the Flat Earth, respectively, equipped with voice modulators.

Upon this crushing realization, Weiss promptly ran away like a little bitch.

We had a special guest who was a real flat Earther, a guy who makes it his mission in life to convince people that the Earth is flat.

We had him on our infamous segment, Case Closed, and we had him debate, uh, improvisers who were playing characters, but this guy, Mark Sargent, didn't know that.

Like, just like my show Crossballs back in the day.

This October has a bonus Thursday in it, so we thought we'd do this special rerun.

Please enjoy.

[upbeat rock music] Welcome, humans, to a very special episode.

Matt Besser is joined by flat Earth theorist, Mark Sargent.

Matt and Mark get into a spirited discussion and take calls from other believers.

Jen, you said your brother's a flat earther.

I don't know if you know who Mark Sargent is.

He's like he was the he's not the only or even I don't wouldn't even know if I'd say he's the main kind of proponent of this.

But he's he's like a he is sort of like a flat earth intellectual i guess is one way to say it he's a local crank and i actually i've met him um and i i spoke to him for an article i wrote many years ago and then uh covered him on my podcast before that was like right when there was that uh behind the curve i think is what it's called the netflix documentary flat earthers came out and i went from watching him just to be sort of this like regional quasi regional crank into a sort of institution where he's like now being propped up by all these right wing crank magnetism freaks and by the right.
