Osiris.

Welcome to Wheels Off, a show about the messy reality of the creative life. I'm Rhett Miller.

That's when it got wheels off. We started up and we ain't going to starve.

Oh, I like you like it a night. That's when they got wheels off. Jesse Dayton has lived a lot of things. That's when they got wheels off.

Jesse Dayton has lived a lot of lives, gone a lot of places, done a lot of things, played a lot of music, a lot of different kinds of music.

We go way back, as you'll discover in the course of this interview, we were both kids together, and now we are both

grown-ass men. And it's kind of hilarious, but I've always recognized in Jesse a depth that a lot of

his contemporaries lacked, you know, a willingness to be vulnerable and real, and that's what makes

him a great guest for Wheels Off.

It was really sweet for me to get to catch up with him.

He had just returned from an ambitious tour that he and his crew were able to survive without anybody getting sick.

And they made all the dates happen.

And, you know, it's tricky.

You know, that's, I don't know what the exact numbers are,

but I know a lot of tours are not able to pull that off in this day and age. I'm proud of Jesse

for doing it. I'm also proud of him for his new memoir, Bow Monster, that's out and is great.

It's a weird life that he has lived. You'll get a taste of it during this interview.

If you are interested, I highly recommend digging all the way in with his memoir, Bow Monster.

And obviously, if you're not familiar with his music, there's a lot of great music.

In fact, he has a couple of album titles that sound like they could come from my catalog,

The Revealer.

Being one of them, he's a good dude.
