Rock Fights, Gun Respect and the Purdue Pharma Scam

Adam Curry shares a story about childhood "rock fights" in Holland to illustrate the universal nature of adrenaline-seeking. Moe argues for "GBG" (Give Black Boys Guns) as a way to teach respect for firearms through hunting. The hosts then contrast the harsh prosecution of street dealers with the "scam" of Purdue Pharma, where executives paid fines instead of going to jail for the opioid epidemic.
