Debate starts at: 12:28. Should you become a writer? Writer Michael Tabb(https://amzn.to/2xviWNI) joins us this week to debate whether or not you should become a writer. While I am truly ambivalent, I argue that you shouldn't, while Michael drops some serious wisdom into not only how to write, but whether or not it's right for you. This is one of the best conversations we've had on the show. I rarely learn anything because I'm a genius who already knows everything, but I dare go so far as to say I learned something this episode. You will too, if you know what's good for you (i.e., listening to this podcast).

Ron Babcock(http://twitter.com/ronbabcock) shares some more adorable South Pasadena headlines, and we have the first-ever, Babcock Tip! Listen for it towards the end of the episode, and if you have a sting to send in, send it to [email protected]. Also do yourself a favor and check out Ron's comedy album if you haven't already:

We round out the episode with a story about a small-town dog mayor, a bunch of gold lost at sea, and some bullshit about marriage. Plus we get a bonus tangent where Ron and I talk about our favorite movies near the end of the episode. Great capper to a great episode. You're welcome.
