In tribute to the late Bob Weir, our venerable gentlemen put on their specs and take a closer look at the Grateful Dead classic "Touch of Grey". As they amble down the road they rip a Page off of Jimmy, find themselves in a Bitches Brew, and come to the realization that aging is a Fact of Life and nothing WEIRd after all. Join the lads as they commemorate their 50th episode and marvel as to what a long strange trip it's been...
