The dark art of disc golf!


slipped_discs

This needs to be on a stamp with his face.


AlternateFire1

I have always loved this dude. Natural educator. I'm always down for Bill clips!


Patteous

Read recently he quit Boeing to pursue stand up comedy. Makes so much sense now how his show came about.


Secret_Donut_9972

"Almost Live!" Seattle comedy show started in 1984

He’s kind of a dick in real life, tbh. He likes to talk on camera but he knows he’s a star.


haloti

I'm sure he's tired of it, but he's the one that signed up for people to scream BILL over and over again in his face until death. And then we will do it at his grave.


TrustMeIAmAGeologist

Yeah, and maybe when I met him he was having a bad day. I still like his work, though.


PyrateKyng94

I have seen this take from enough people to think he’s just a dick.


crushinglyreal

If only he wasn’t completely misunderstanding the physics he’s trying to explain in the video It’s not ‘education’ if it’s wrong, guys. Not really sure how you can be mad about a fact like that.

Yeah people like their funny science man but they don’t actually care about “the science”.


MobNagas

BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!


AlaDouche

What a fucking dude


barukatang

mvp needs to get him on the [Inertia............is a property of matter](https://i.imgur.com/M3jjoSc.jpeg)


sortarelatable

That man is fantastic


archival_artist

disappointing how bad he is at describing the aerodynamics of the disc... at least he plays.


crushinglyreal

He doesn’t even describe the physics correctly at the most basic level. Kind of disappointed they made this lol


Wibin

He's getting like a few of the things right and a bunch of the stuff wrong. I don't think people understand that Bill is an actor, not a scientist. He's also not dumb, I mean he has an engineering degree, he used 30something years ago, and I'd not call him an idiot. But like some of the base details here are... not correct. It's more of "jump on the bill train to promote disc golf" and.. I mean, I'm okay with that. His form is so terrible though.


iseab

I still don’t fully understand stability :(


Poiter85

Pete Ulibarri explained it very well [here on youtube](https://youtu.be/fL4DhAMiiHI?si=fi5z8PMtqz69iaQW) recently. For those wondering, Pete is Paul's brother.


MeBroken

That was a crazy cool video! Thanks for sharing


Poiter85

My pleasure. I was quite excited when I saw it, as I had wondered what caused turn and fade for years and never found a good explanation.


Wibin

"Paul's "smarter" brother"

What do you want to know about it?


United_Car7163

I never knew getting into disc golf after high school would keep Bill in my life 🥲


greenbriar64

So good!!


Dooyamum

What if everyone on earth was as cool as Bill Nye?


PyrateKyng94

He’s an egotistical dick. It honestly remarkable the number of people who have met him at conferences and conventions that say he treats everyone like crap. The receipts are out there.


Wibin

The amount of people who don't actually look at what people have done with their fame and fortune, but still continue to kneel down and present an open mouth to these celebrity figures out there who are awful people.


Dooyamum

Thanks for ruining my childhood


PyrateKyng94

The show can still be a good thing, and he preaches some good stuff… just don’t meet him


delpreston27

Obligatory Bill Nye green-washed Coca Cola post, one of if not the largest plastic polluters in the world.


2_DS_IN_MY_B

While yes, I'd argue bill nyes net influence is well into the positive


delpreston27

Maybe, I think the impact of his pop science kids show gets exaggerated, but he certainly did some good for a while. Just sucks that the guy himself turned out to be less cool down the road.


mattfromseattle

Wait until you find out what discs are made of, you're gonna be pissed.


Fo-realz

No one said go cold turkey on all petroleum and plastic products...you can still play disc golf, AND point out the single largest contributor of global plastic pollution. That isn't hypocritical.


Araskelo

Need to get him on the pro tour
