Bestselling author Chuck Klosterman joins the show to give his (non-Deadhead) take on the Grateful Dead. Chuck dishes on why the Dead are tied for 4th on his list of greatest American bands, the Dead's politics, John Mayer's guitar playing, separating the art from the artist, and lots more.

Chuck's newest release, The Nineties: A Book, is available in paperback now. This episode is brought to you by Scarlet Fire Hot Sauce. The show poster was created by 30k ft. 

We'll be back next week with the Tournament of Champions final.
