by the way you know what movie i got caught in we're not movie but series and
you're gonna be
over it but on the plane ride just now from dallas tiktok dancing i watched so
good four
episodes of uh long strange trip dude i love that that's what got me back into
the fucking
got me back in the grave here's what's crazy yeah like a couple years ago
because the guy who i play
on dave mike the real guy him and i are friends and he's he's a big fish fan he
you know likes
this world a lot and i said hey i started listening to the dead again like i
don't know why in high
school i liked it okay but i wasn't really and i started and then i really
started to kind of get
into it a couple years ago again and i watched this documentary to kind of
validate why i like them
because i didn't really understand i was like i just like their shit i guess
but man this goes so
deep bro it goes so deep and i don't know if deadheads are probably fucking i
don't know if they
like it if like real fans like it they do i don't know i'll tell you why they
do hmm may i tell you
why i do oh please in the late 80s right omar and all my friends they were all
deadheads and they
would still go to the shows yeah back in the day right and i was a velvet
underground guy i was more
like new york street i didn't like flower power you like grungy i like heroin s&m
kind of things
dirtbags yeah yeah there's a better way to say it you like cbgb yeah i like cbgb
the ramones and that
kind of thing right dirty so i sorry you're right yeah you like dirty um dirty
fingernails so that's
fine but these people had dirty fingernail fans too right right so different
kind my whole life
i hated the fucking dead all right what hated them so not hateable well i'll
tell you why i don't like
45 minutes jams and g minor when you're ripped you do i know you do but it's
like i'm more like two
three minute song whatever right right so i don't know where i was but i was
with a bunch of like
hippies old hippies and i was going it was just like i'm now now i'm 52 right
and i'm like
yeah fuck the dead like did you see long strange strip on amazon and um no i
will refuse right but
then one guy was like dude i i know who it was i know who it was it was jh harris
jf harris jf harris
the comic yeah it was jf harris he we were with a bunch of hippies and him and
jf goes dude i was
always always like you but then i saw that documentary and it changed my whole
thing yeah and i go are you
sure he's like just watch it and once i saw it dude i just started that's all
he listened to
it's it's it's incredible well i think with something that he said we related
to jerry jerry
was jerry jerry had said some things in it that i related to so much as a comic
he one time said maybe weir was quoting about him but he had said that
musicians have tricks
and i immediately thought of us i go so do comics you have tricks and he goes
when you're live
there's tricks that you know gets them in the ha and or does the thing and
without getting too deep
into it performers know what your tricks are that you can kind of get away with
and sometimes
you do the tricks and you go i don't even like that but i know it's going to razz
them up a little
bit you know what it is i rely on mine so much well and that's fine but jerry
but jerry said once
they learned how to do tricks he realized how little he wanted to do them
anymore because then he thought
everybody can do these tricks that means he was saying it's like in our
reference if you play a video game
and once you beat it once and someone else is talking to you about them trying
to beat it you
know when you're a kid and somebody's like dude and then do you know when you
get to the castle and in
your head you're like i already know this and i already know what where you
have to go and he was
saying where do you go in the castle you have to go down again you have to go
one more level down
yeah you always have to go down and you know why you have to go down why to get
up you gotta get back
gotta go down to get up to go down again and so he jerry was translating that
tricks he fucking hated
and he was like i don't give a fuck if the set suffers a little bit if we can
find it more organically
than us doing a trick to get back and i thought that's what all comics are
striving to do is to wipe
away your tricks and and and and what and take some fucking risks and maybe a
joke bombs and maybe a
transition doesn't work as clean but without the trick you feel more real and
it feels more and when
jerry professed that that's part of the reason i think the band became so prolific
because they were
like no more tricks we'll try we'll just keep working it till it's magic what's
wrong did i piss you off
no he doesn't do that he relies on the tricks no you don't that's not true i do
no you don't you just
taught me no more tricks no you don't what are you saying no more tricks for me
by the way jerry
without a beard not good not a great looking guy without the beard rest in
peace but man i when you
see some photos you're like yeah the beard was good sometimes like a guy like
me if i shave my
fucking beard look yeah that's a different guy it's a different different guy
yeah yeah like me without
a beard is not i'm not i do not like my face without a beard i'm born i am born
with beard some
people must have beard carlos must have beard i've seen you without a beard
must have beard
thanks man yeah no dude you and i same face must have beard you don't need
beard i can't
that's your native american name don't need beard i must have beard yeah yeah
he must have beard
but anyway that that document are really kind of it changed me it brought me
back to what i uh
well what are you laughing at man just must have beard must have beard very
funny joke
i laugh at your job no i didn't say that when the ox fall down i really like
him and i'm a big
john mayer fan and then listening to john do it is i don't know it's pretty
cool with dead and company
is actually pretty good so i watched that on the way to dallas and i'm telling
you i validated why
i like him i was like why do i like them right yeah i was like right yes
because they fucking they're
free and they really are because the acid tests open up their their range of
freedom and they just
also that we are you know i mean they all stuck together for many many years
together as long as
they could until fucking i think unfortunately the doctor talks about how drugs
just separated the
fuck out and pig pens death and i think we should do this as long as we can
until we die i will do
this forever with you okay and let's do more magic well i've got some exciting
