Bryan and Jason discuss key takeaways from last week's interview with Washington D.C.-based artist Stephanie Mercedes, wax nostalgic about Joan Jett after watching her documentary on Hulu, and finish with some blues riffs on Bryan's new amp.

In response to the Pulse Night Club Mass Shooting in Orlando, Argentinian-American artist Stephanie Mercedes melted a Sig Sauer MCX rifle (the exact model used during the shooting) to cast 49 “liberty bells” for the 49 individuals who lost their lives. Mercedes went on to melt guns and bullet casings into other musical instruments, hoping to open a dialogue about guns and violence in America. Mercedes also incorporates music and history into her art to tackle subjects like “The Disappeared” from the Argentine Dictatorship. 

Bryan and Jason discuss key takeaways from last week's interview with Matthew Barry, wax philosophic about the zen of Bill Murray after watching The Bill Murray Stories (now streaming on Netflix), and preview next week's interview with Washington D.C.-based Argentinian-American artist Stephanie Mercedes, who melts guns into art.
