Hey, I'm Oteil.

Mike Finoia (1:06)

And I'm Mike. And welcome to Comes A Time Podcast, episode two. We have the one and only, Bob Weir.

Wow, Oteil, this was unbelievable for me.

Oteil Burbridge (1:21)

I know you were trying not to be a fanboy.

SPEAKER_4 (1:25)

I called you in the beginning and was like, please don't let me be Chris Farley on this episode.

Mike Finoia (1:31)

We were like, do you remember Weather Report Suite? That was awesome.

To be able to, I watch you up there with them many times and I see the joy and it made me so happy to be able to, what a profound, he's so sharp. I think he's working out a lot of muscles clearly, as we see, but I think the muscle that is the strongest still is his mind. I mean, it's just amazing how, what poignant stuff he had and advice for folks taking part in the protest these days.

Oteil Burbridge (2:13)

Yeah, just everything in general. He's a great interview and a great, I don't even like to use the word interview. I mean, it's just great to, he's a great chat.

You know what I mean? Like it's just fun talking with him and it's like that all the time with him, you know?

Stuff really means a lot, you know? What we're thinking and feeling and meaning, you know? It means a lot, especially these days, but all days. I mean, that was their philosophy, you know? Every day, it's right now. And so it was really great to get to talk to him for a good long time, you know?

Mike Finoia (2:55)

And I think, you know, not to put the cart before the horse, but I think that this may be the first of a few. He seemed to have a good time with us. He was excited to come back.

Oteil Burbridge (3:07)

That's right, he had a suggestion about the next one.

SPEAKER_4 (3:09)

Yeah, which we're gonna keep that a surprise.

Mike Finoia (3:12)

We're gonna keep that a surprise because that one, boy, you're gonna need a seatbelt for that one. So everybody enjoy our chat with Bob Weir. Thank you, Bob, for taking the time and Oteil, thank you and I love you and I'll see you at episode three.

Oteil Burbridge (3:30)

Love you too, man.

Bob Weir (3:31)

Bye.

Oteil Burbridge (3:46)

Hey, I'm Oteil.

Mike Finoia (3:48)

And I'm Mike.

Oteil Burbridge (3:50)

And welcome to the Comes A Time podcast.

Mike Finoia (3:53)

And today, it is an absolute honor and pleasure to have with us, the one and only Mr. Bob Weir. Hi, Bob.

Bob Weir (4:01)

Hiya.

Mike Finoia (4:02)

It's great to see you and meet you, and thank you so much for spending time.

Bob Weir (4:08)

And thank you for your kind attention.

Mike Finoia (4:13)

Bob, just to start before we get into, I want to dispel a rumor. I saw online that if live music doesn't come back soon, that you're considering throwing your hat in the ring for UFC title.

Is that true?

Bob Weir (4:29)

I think that's a close contact sport too. But there's limited participation and you kind of get your odds, the odds are more in your favor there.

Oteil Burbridge (4:41)

They've pulled off a lot of those UFC things.

Mike Finoia (4:44)

Can't believe it.

Oteil Burbridge (4:46)

Yeah, it's amazing.

But so how have you been spending your quarantine? Did you do like the rest of us and kind of go nuts at first and then?

Bob Weir (4:53)

Well, you know, I sort of Christ, it's been a while now, Christ, I, you know, I have not been home for this long for ever. And or at least since I was a little kid.
