Stories from DebateCon 5 ft. FTFE! | YouAreMopped Ep. 16
My guest, @FTFEOfficial Craig McNeil (Fight The Flat Earth) and I discuss our experiences attending DebateCon 5 held in Newark, NJ.
Craig participated in two debates, the first was entitled “Christianity or Secular Humanism, Which Is Best?” was against Andrew Wilson. His second debate, “Governments Covering Up Moon Hoaxes?” was with Alex Stein”.
I ask Craig about his encounters with Austin Witsit @Witsit which to no one's surprise were quite confrontational.
We also discuss the differences between online and in-person debates, how he felt he performed in each debate, his first impressions of the United States, ,An unforgettable night hanging out with fellow content creators @TheDrunkDebunkShow1 as well as fans, and more.
Big thanks to @ModernDayDebate for organizing and making this all possible!
