Oteil also shares stories of combat gigs dealing with bad sound, and how veteran performers like Elvin Jones project their sound to the back of big rooms. Looking ahead, Oteil only has one gig on the books for the rest of the year - two nights opening for Bob Weir in Florida. Otherwise, he's focused on spending the holidays with his family. Mike has stand-up shows across the country leading up to the release of his new comedy special "Don't Let Me Down" on YouTube on November 9th. Please subscribe to his channel and click on the video that day to help build momentum on the platform.

This one was so good. Hearing Bela explain things just makes you appreciate him so much more.

I'm so grateful for people like Rick, and then to you guys for helping platform his educational efforts. MDMA literally cured my PTSD, over ten years ago now, and I have been entirely without any one single symptom that can be directly tied to my PTSD. Sad to say, I had to undertake the MDMA treatment on my own, with no direct medical oversight or legal immunity, although I promise I did it as safely and rigidly as possible, but that would lead to me serving time in prison a few years later. I lost a year of my life, in addition to thousands of dollars of probationary and electronic monitoring fees, due to my mission to treat my PTSD with a drug that was irrationally made illegal to begin with, in an attempt to persecute political opposition to the powerful interests controlling Washington. Thanks again for this.
