I admit I haven't watched the video of which you speak, due to emotional instability which I shall not elaborate upon, does Ehrman actually give facts and evidence for those beliefs, or does he simply, as you put it, lay out why he as a historian believes Jesus was an actual person? If the latter, then he's still giving no more than his opinion and expecting to be taken as an authority because of whatever credentials he may have. It's a version of pulling rank, in a preaching context.
As for Vinny saying hurtful things, I haven't got him figured out yet but I suspect it's a case of in Vinny insultare. Or something.
