    Ep. 14 – The State of The Music

    We cover a TON of ground after a month hiatus, and still leave plenty on the table. Tune in for a show-by-show recap on Dead & Co's last 6 performances and our current music explorations. Where is The Music, and where is it going? Safe to say it's shaping up to be an interesting 2021 Spotify recap for the two of us.  “I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.” ― Douglas Adams

    Ep. 13 – When It's Done and Over A Man Is Just A Man

    On this episode of In The Pocket, we trudge through our usual brouhaha while touching on some current affairs with ourselves and the world around us – riveting stuff really. After that, we slip into a masterful ad read and ask the never-been-asked-before-super-orginial-question: what if time travel was a thing? We conclude with our Grateful Dead song of the week that I promise will blow the understanding of space jazz right out your back door off that phat porch of yours. Follow along with our recommended best versions and live laugh love or I'm gonna throw eggs at your car. A Votre Santé. "Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day, Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way" – David Jon Gilmour, Nicholas Berkeley Mason, George Roger Waters and Richard William Wright

    Ep. 12 – First Live Show Roundup & Debrief

    We recently attended our first round of Dead & Co shows and decided to re-live the magic. Follow along as we break down each show, song by song, and give you the inside scoop on our take of the juicy veggie jams. We also talk about all the ways the band swept us off our feet and all the times they dropped the ball. Keep Livin'.  "Gotta tell you, evenin' sun is sinkin' low, The clock on the wall say it's time to go, I got my plans, I don't know about you, I'll tell you exactly what I'm gonna do, Get in the groove and let the good times roll, I'm gonna stay here till I soothe my soul, If it take all night long" – Sam Cooke

    Ep. 11 – The Lost Chateau

    We're shooting from the hip these days folks! Slide on over as we discuss if this could be Dead & Company's last trip around the sun, who's on deck to take the mantle, and what should be included in the "Grateful Dead Starter Pack". We serve you a piping hot Dead Deep Dive Song of the Week before we touch on if the culture and moments of the Grateful Dead could ever be repeated. All that and more on this week's episode of In The Pocket! "Comin' to ya on a dusty road, Good lovin' I got a truck load, And when you get it you got something, So don't worry, cause I'm coming, I'm a soul man" – David Porter / Isaac Hayes

    Ep. 10 – Setlist Draft w/ Special Guest Kaabe Shaw

    We invited Keegan's dad, Kaabe Shaw on as our first guest to do what we do best... talk music, talk The Dead, and share a drink or three through our screens. We look forward to our rapidly approaching fall of live music before we embarked on our first ever Setlist Draft, where we took turns choosing songs in order to try to build the best Grateful Dead setlist. Enjoy and ramble on! "Willow sky, Whoa, I walk and wonder why. They say love your brother, But you will catch it when you try" - Philip Lesh / Robert M. Peterson

    *Bonus* Ep. 8 – Ad Read Bloopers

    We effin' messed up big on this one dog. We got a big time mess up right here! Oh em gee, are we embarrassed. Our cheeks are bout as pink as an eraser in the middle of July. Pull up a barrel and grab yourself a chuckle... she's on the house.

    Ep. 8 – It Ain’t My Cup Of Meat

    Strap in Jack, cuz this one's a long-y but a goodie! We sit down for a much needed rap about everything from baseball, beer, golf, our favorite song writers, if there ever has been a "good year" and much much more. We hear a word from our brilliant, cutting edge, and resolute sponsor before going into this weeks super unique Dead Deep Dive. We get nerdy. We get dramatic. We get repetitive. But all you have to do is kick back, smell a rose, paint your face, and enjoy.  "They say every man needs protection, They say that every man must fall, Yet I swear I see my reflection, Somewhere so high above this wall" – Bob Dylan
