Happy Bicycle Day 🚴‍♂️🧠 On this day in 1943, Albert Hofmann took the first intentional LSD trip… and I made a whole special about what happens when you do that kind of stuff.

We’re bringing @surviving__ai Surviving AI to Phoenix and I’d love for you to join us! The future is here, whether we like it or not. Self-driving cars. Talking robots. Self-replicating AI agents with their own missions and crypto wallets. Comedian Shane Mauss @shane_mauss and myself will host a variety show exploring our wild AI-infused present through comedy, conversation, and live art. Digital artist Michael Strauss @straussvisuals generates visuals in real time and rapper Baba Brinkman @bababrinkman goes head-to-head with an AI rapper - programmed by Harmon Leon - in an epic human vs. machine battle. Relationship scientist Thao Ha discusses the emergence of augmented intimacy, begging the question: Could dating an AI be better than dating a human? Are we in an inevitable AI apocalypse or is there a win-win future worth building with the machines? One night of comedy, music, and science to figure it out! Details: Sunday, April 19 Doors at 7:00 PM / Show at 7:30 PM Valley Bar Phoenix @valleybarphx Free | 21+ You can RSVP in my bio.

Today is the culmination of an epic journey. After 200+ shows across 100+ cities - TRIPS, a new psychedelic stand-up comedy special starring Shane Mauss, is now available to the world. We’re breaking more than just new ground with this release; we’re carving out two historic milestones: The first comedy special enhanced with live VJ visualizations, and the first comedy special ever recorded at the psychedelic wonderland of Meow Wolf! Live Premiere & Watch Party Tonight: The special is entirely free to watch (no prescription necessary). We are hosting a live watch party for the "First Dose" tonight at 8 PM EST / 5 PM PST on YouTube via 800 Pound Gorilla Media. Shane and I will both be in the live chat to help guide the trip and highlight the specific artists as their work appears. Watch the Premiere: /watch?v=dHh3OSbTcWM Second Dose Trailer (Releasing April 19): /watch?v=ti_ayc4gv34 More Info: shanemauss.com/trips As the project’s Visual Director and live VJ, my mission was to bridge the gap between Shane’s storytelling and the visual intensity of the psychedelic experience. As Shane verbally navigated the inner workings of the human mind, I illustrated the voyage with a kaleidoscope of mindscapes, translating the psychedelic experience into a living, reality. This project is a massive collaborative tapestry. To authentically capture the "trip" on stage, we licensed and wove together works from over 20 visionary artists and animators. Interacting with their art has been a unique honor.
