Also in this episode… Did you know that Davey Havok is actually Tylor's vegan fairy godfather! Tylor shares how Davey's example inspired him to consider veganism and started his journey as an animal rights activist. Davey shares his initial bias against veganism when it was regarded as 'trendy' and how his contrarian mindset caused him to reject veganism for a long time. Some fairly outrageous claims are made about the nation's beloved cereal mascots… 'There's pus in cow's milk! I'm out !' Davey talks about his journey from begrudging vegan to happily eschewing animal products. 'Meat flesh tastes dead'. Davey talks about the way animal products stop tasting like food once you step away from them. Davey's reasons for following a straight-edge lifestyle and his thoughts on the shared foundation of respect between veganism and straight-edge. Davey shares how his art and his ethics naturally complement each other. We talk about Davey's 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur' poster and he explains why he was happy to do it! Tylor asks Davey about touring as a vegan and if it's getting easier or harder. Davey shares some exclusive AFI info and reveals details about the new record, which will be released in 2021!
