This week, we kick off a new season by introducing our all-new format on The Catchup: New episodes driven ENTIRELY by you! From here on out, every episode will feature the topics that have YOU talking in your world, what's been on your mind, and anything trending. There's no limits to what we can talk about, and it puts you even more in the driver's seat of our conversations, and gives us a whole new chance to connect with you. So with that said, let's go ahead and get into it!

Darien Mack submitted this topic: "Something that’s been on my mind lately is all of this hoarding and the subsequent shortages. Sure, folks can get a little greedy (at times), but did you REALLY need the shelf of hot cheetohs? Was it necessary for that ENTIRE DESK of cheeze-itz? I can understand a couple of cases of bottled water, but sheesh"

And we don't disagree! But while the rush to hoard supplies ahead of looming storms and supply shortages does seem worse, it's definitely nothing new. But what is feeding into the selfish behavior? How did we get to a point where we don't consider the people around us and instead, only consider ourselves? We discuss the impact this could have on an already-struggling supply chain, and how you could be affected - even if you don't take more than your share.

Then, Mark Cuban is taking on Big Pharma with a brand new company offering prescription drugs at an affordable price. The recently launched Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company charges customers the same price it costs to manufacture these drugs, plus a 15% markup and a pharmacist fee. That means some extreme savings, including some savings in the 4 digits. This is already making a big splash, and it's just getting off the ground. How will this impact drug companies, and will the industry change to be more affordable for everyone? We discuss! Let's get into it!
