Mike sits down for another visit with American Badass Artist, David Welker. This time the guys don't talk Phish...instead they talk competitive drinking, crucifixions, questioning reality, questionable decisions that end in physical wreck, their favorite movies, and stinky prints. 

Visit welkerstudios.com for info on David's exhibition happening on 12/29 at Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn.

In between Dead & Co gigs, Oteil took time out of his busy schedule to talk to Mike. In a deep 2 hour conversation, the two discussed the power of comedy, music, friendship, life, death, and acknowledging the critic within. Through dealing with the death of family and friends & gaining a daughter, this year has been ups and downs for Oteil. And through it all, he continues to be a beacon of light. 

Enjoy and tune in next week for part 2!
