In this episode, we riff on Phish lore, time warps, and the art of staying synced—onstage and in life. We open with a vivid retelling of Gamehendge, tracing Trey’s senior thesis tale from Tela and Colonel Forbin to Wilson, Icculus, and the Helping Phriendly Book, then connect those themes to present-day Bitcoin drama and network governance—through the lens of futile revolutions, purity tests, and signal vs narrative. We trade stories from Prague, jet lag battles, and UTC dreams, then dive deep on Rick Rubin’s new interview with Mike Gordon: factions in the band, Machine Gun Trey’s evolution, Page’s essential steadiness, in-ear monitor taboos, and why Mike might be the most fascinating voice we rarely hear. Along the way: Phil Jackson / Rick Rubin parallels, Wu-Tang love, MSG lore, and a remembrance of Coventry’s muddy purgatory—before closing on possums, honey badgers, and why betting markets might be the real mountain to Icculus.

Whether you’re here for Phish history, Bitcoin meta, or just a good syncopated hang, this one blends story, music nerdery, and cultural critique—no sponsors, just vibes.
