Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Kaylie, Bodio, and Gibby are headed to the Wild West...of the Future! Hold on tight 'cause they're hot on the trail of the legendary gunslinger Vash the Stampede, the Humanoid Typhoon, who's got a 60 Billion Double-Dollar Bounty on his head (and frankly, they could really use that kind of cash right now). Along the trail, they'll discuss the classic '90s anime series that's full of rich characters, brilliant environmental storytelling, kickass music, and the absolute worst outlaws you've ever seen. Also included: sleep-deprived conversations, a grand achievement that took 40+ episodes to complete, and "Sh*t on Chris Day."Creative Commons License for "Rattlesnake Railroad" by Brett Van Donsel can be found here.
***This episode was recorded before the tragic shootings involving the UVA football players who were killed as well as those that were killed in the Tidewater area of Virginia in the Wal-Mart shooting.***Thank you to Blake Woloson for filling in last minute for Alberto Salvado who was under the weather (covid related) when we recorded this episode. We also are grateful to Chris Day, a local attorney who has a general practice which focuses partially on 2nd Amendment (firearm rights). Chris joined us as a guest in this episode to talk about how your 2nd Amendment constitutional rights can be impacted by various laws and charges within the criminal justice system. He also educated us on how to try to petition to restore your firearms rights in Virginia.LEGAL DISCLAIMER:If you are listening to this podcast, thank you! We sincerely hope you are listening to this podcast for its entertainment value and not with the intention of acquiring legal advice for any individual case or situation. I mean, come on! You wouldn't take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right? If you were bleeding profusely, you wouldn't listen to a podcast in hopes of a bandage somehow materializing over the internet and onto your 3D printer. Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation! We are just a group of friends with differing opinions and viewpoints which we will try to explore through discussions of current events, law changes, and whatever else floats our fancy.
Chris tells us all about his CHRIS DAY yesterday. From having a "blast" to the trunk or treat where he heard super funny jokes, it was a great day for him indeed.
