Welcome back to another wild episode of Locked & Probably Loaded with your hosts DJ Qualls and Kelly Blackheart, joined by producer Isaac Abrams! In this episode, DJ returns from an emotional weekend at Yellow City Comic-Con in Amarillo, Texas, and opens up about his upcoming parade appearance in Calgary where he's getting the keys to the city. He shares his anxiety about JFK comparisons and his deep love for the convention circuit. Kelly and DJ dive into their Puerto Vallarta obsession — recounting hilarious stories about terrible resort food (feta in a quesadilla?!), persistent geckos, and why they keep going back despite culinary disasters. They rant about AI-generated Google misinformation and the realities of "all-inclusive" pricing that still cost $120 at happy hour. The conversation shifts to fashion as DJ proposes "The Uniform Store" — a clothing line for adults who want reliable, non-cropped hoodies and affordable jeans. They discuss the wastefulness of celebrity fashion culture and LA's impossible trends. Things get real discussing family dynamics, aging parents, and DJ's revelation that he's "no longer afraid of dying." They reflect on unexpected podcast growth including listeners in Mexico and urge everyone to engage on social media. Packed with passionate commentary on Hollywood Boulevard's decline, corporate takeover of LA, vacant storefronts, and why LA needs NYC-style rent control. Plus laughs, existential musings, nostalgia for early 2000s LA, and tequila-fueled tangents! Don't forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe!
