Debate starts at: 14:17. Actor, writer and director Bradley Laborman, star of "Rideshare" (2018) joins us for the debate this week: should plastic staws be banned?

Whatever fish are eating right now, they taste good and their diet shouldn't change. Watch the video version here at Madcast Media Network YouTube channel

Ron Babcock is up for a promotion this week. Has he been going on enough tangents to earn it? You decide! All votes are binding.

We round out the episode with a story about a two-headed cow with a surprise twist: it died. Plus a new study found that how rich you are could have something to do with your genetics. Yeah, it's called "inheritance."
