This week on No Simple Road we welcome Jamel aka Jamal to the show! Jamel is responsible for some of the most moving, funny, heartfelt, and creative reaction videos on YouTube. Jamel's reactions to the Good Ol' Grateful Dead drew us in and reminded us of what that moment of realization was like for us. We had to have him on! We sit down with Jamel to talk about growing up without role models, finding the music of the Grateful Dead through his YouTube channel, what the Grateful Dead community means to him, how he got started creating videos, how he met and courted his wife, and a whole lot more!Make sure to follow both of Jamel's YouTube channels at: Jamel_AKA_Jamal and also Jamel_AKA_Jamal Music & More where he reacts to music and everything else!Become a Patron of No Simple Road On Patreon.comFREE SHIPPING FROM Shop Tour Bus Use The PROMO CODE: nosimpleroadFor 20% off Sunset Lake CBD PROMO CODE: NSR20 For 20% off Grady's Cold Brew PROMO CODE: NSR20For 10% off Electric Fish Lights PROMO CODE: NSR INTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:CIRCLES AROUND THE SUNOUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:CHILLDREN OF INDIGOLeave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts!No Simple Road is part of OSIRIS MEDIA.
