The Best Debate in the Universe

Debate starts at 2:21. We're joined by two guests this week, James Breakwell (https://twitter.com/XplodingUnicorn), author of Only Dead on the Inside (http://amzn.to/2AOMoC6) and Kirk Wilcox (https://twitter.com/KirkWilcox). We had a first-ever 2-on-2 debate on The Best Debate. Even though we touched on the topic of "net neutrality" previously, it's an important enough topic to warrant its own full episode and this was a very thorough and robust debate. We even stumbled upon an argument that may stump every "property-rights" absolutist: the Donut Property Theory! Really worth listening to near the end of the episode.

And speaking of, here are some Hello Fresh meals I made: http://www.hellofresh.com/ Rucka (https://www.youtube.com/user/itsRucka) makes an impassioned argument for property rights this episode, but seems genuinely stumped with the "donut property" argument. The theme of donuts shows up several times in this episode, when I offer to build a brick wall in front of Kirk's hypothetical donut shop. Want his glazed donuts? Tough shit! You can't get around my property to get to it. F*CK WHALES, is finally here! Order it now and send me your quotes / reviews / impressions. You're welcome. http://amzn.to/2oiF2xi Finally we cover a news story about a lobster with a Pepsi "tattoo" and an Amazon delivery person taking a dump on someone's driveway. Two packages for the price of one and they still complained? Some people are hard to please. The voicemail number is: 1-562-58-I-RULE (1-562-584-7853).

This week we inadvertently had two amazing debates with our guest, Adam from Your Movie Sucks. The first was about movies that are so bad they're good, so the debate at 2:34 is: WHAT'S THE BEST WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME? The second debate was about Net Neutrality, which was prompted by a news article at 1:25:13. SHOULD WE KEEP NET NEUTRALITY? Debate starts at 2:34. Second debate at: 1:25:13 We're joined by the incredible Adam from Your Movie Sucks - YMS (https://www.youtube.com/user/YourMovieSucksDOTorg). Adam has one of the best movie-review and analysis sites on the Internet, and has also launched his own gaming channel called Adum Plaze (https://www.youtube.com/user/AdumPlaze). We debated what the best "worst" movie of all time was this episode. From shitty cinematography, writing and acting to failed marketing attempts, we cover two of the juggernauts in this field: Fateful Findings and The Room. Both are superbly shitty and immensely enjoyable to watch. Plus me, Adam and Erik from Internet Comment Etiquette (https://www.youtube.com/user/commentiquette) went to The Price is Right together! We talk about that around 39:12. Really packed episode with voicemail is at 52:28.

I referenced her female Ghostbusters video on the first episode (https://rss.madcastmedia.com/bestdebate/1/) of this very show! Her videos are a lot of fun to watch and it's been a long-time coming to have her on. Also, President Donald Trump is in studio and we get a rare phone call from former president Obama! But more importantly, we debate the merits of psychotropic substances this episode and weigh whether or not the possibility of a good trip is worth the potential side effects of constipation and spit-mouth.

What's a horror game that doesn't suck shit? Debate starts at 26:16. Alpha Omega Sin (https://www.youtube.com/user/AlphaOmegaSin) joins us this week. He has a huge gaming channel on YouTube and his pick is Deadspace. Respectable, but is it strong enough to knock out the heavyweight that is Resident Evil?

What's the most overrated movie of all time? Debate starts at 26:28. Chris Ray Gun (https://www.youtube.com/user/MindfreakCM) joins us this week. His most overrated movie pick(s) are the entire Chris Nolan Batman series. A very controversial pick because the second movie was not a hot pile of shit. Plus RUCKA GETS A DEMOTION?!

Should sexual predators be eligible for awards? Debate starts at 22:54. Director, writer and producer, Tremain Hayhoe (https://twitter.com/TremainHayhoe) joins us this week.

What is the most overrated sex position? Debate starts at 25:39. We're joined by two guests this week, Ela Darling (https://twitter.com/ElaDarling) and Dreadmere (https://www.youtube.com/user/Dreadmere). Since it's our big 69th episode and we're immature, we decided to make this a sex-themed episode. Though one could argue that every episode I'm on is sex-themed. We debated the most overrated sex positions, and I brought in a controversial choice that I knew would be dead in the water because everyone's a brainwashed idiot who's bullied into having the opinions they have.
