Only a few days removed from the deadliest mass shooting in
modern American history, Talley and Doofin don't have all the
answers, but lament so many shutting down even asking questions
pertaining to the possible prevention of future massacres. Choosing
the "treacherous path of reasonable," they tackle some terrible
takes on gun control, the lack of context and nuance in public
discourse, and America's refusal to face much of its own dark
history.
The guys also preach on people's generally poor public behavior and
the staggering amount of creeps in positions of power, namely at
this moment, in the entertainment industry. But it's not all
heavy-handed soapbox-ing. They eventually move onto a lot of music
talk, including remembering the late Tom Petty, discussing his
impact, and that of other venerable rock n' roll acts like
Creedence Clearwater Revival, Electric Light Orchestra, and Steely
Dan.
