Episode #16 - FDA debate, Wayland McQueen, Rucka, Walmart Heist, Lemonade Stand Theft, Found Cocain

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION: Candidate Trump recently called for the elimination of food regulations, and then promptly deleted the declaration from his website. But not before people debated the merits of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The debate this week is: ARE FOOD REGULATIONS NECESSARY, OR WILL THE MARKET CORRECT ITSELF? YES, THEY ARE NECESSARY or NO, MARKET WILL CORRECT ITSELF? We have an actual philosopher joining us this week, Wayland McQueen. He's also a brilliant comedian and writer, but is he brilliant enough to take down a master debater in a heated debate about the FDA? Only one way to find out, and it takes 1 hour, 21 minutes and 21 seconds. https://twitter.com/WaylandXTREME Wayland and Rucka brought the heat this week, with Sean dropping his usual nuggets of wisdom about the FDA. This may be one of the most well-rounded debates in the show's history. Plus, I think Rucka thinks chimichangas are an Armenian food. News flash: all foods are Armenian foods. We invented everything. I'm trying something a little different with the voting this week: since the debate was mostly well-rounded, rather than voting before and after listening, I'm having listeners vote on which side was more persuasive and what you think I truly believe. Also if you lost your bab of cocaine at Sam's Club in Eastern Pennsylvania, please call the police to retrieve it: http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/09/04/police-if-you-lost-your-cocaine-at-sams-club-call-us/ Plus, a man dressed as an armored truck driver walks out of a walmart with $75,000. Awesome. And speaking of theft, a man gave a phony $50 bill to a girl who was selling lemonade to raise money for Alzheimer's research. Wayland makes a pretty compelling case for the criminal. And as promised, here's video of cops shutting down a lemonade stand. Laws are laws, idiots! https://youtu.be/VQpYXNJoLrU The voicemail number is: 1-562-58-I-RULE (1-562-584-7853). madcastmedia.com Sources: Food & Wine Magazine - Food & Wine Magazine's day to shine on this podcast as a source - http://www.foodandwine.com/news/trump-calls-eliminate-food-safety-rules-then-backtracks Foundation for Economic Education - FDA gives people a false sense of security - https://fee.org/articles/abolishing-the-fda/ Fox News - John Stossel's beef with the government regulating drugs - http://www.foxnews.com/story/2010/02/24/john-stossel-beef-with-government-regulating-drugs.html Think Progress - Free market gives us moldy ketchup - https://thinkprogress.org/heinz-ketchup-proves-that-donald-trump-is-out-of-his-mind-95c8a838a0d0#.8se4ej6rp Daily Beast - On the FDA regulating dog food - http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/09/15/trump-stop-regulating-poisoned-dog-food.html CBS Local - Police: if you lost your cocaine at sam's club, call us - http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/09/04/police-if-you-lost-your-cocaine-at-sams-club-call-us NBC News - Man Dressed as Armored Truck Driver Walks Out of Walmart With $75,000 - http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-dressed-armored-truck-driver-walks-out-walmart-75-000-n387751 Monroe News - Man gives phony $50 bill to girl's charity lemonade stand - http://www.monroenews.com/news/20160914/girls-charity-sale-hits-sour-note "Mining by Moonlight" and "Music to Delight" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
