I asked guitar legend Derek Trucks how he and the @family_guitars guys (…who are also partners in his @asspocketwhiskey) how they celebrated winning the auction for Jerry Garcia’s Tiger guitar back in March 2026. Trucks tells me that they were going to go out for drinks after the gavel on the winning $11.56m bid, but he got a call from his wife Sue to come over to Cyndi Lauper’s house for a homemade Italian dinner. 

Check out the full conversation on the @brobible YT at the link in my bio. Or comment “TRUCKS” and I’ll DM you the link….

Hi! My 40-minute SIDE QUESTS conversation with the great Derek Trucks is now live on the @brobible YT, in which we drink his @asspocketwhiskey in a Louisville hotel room before @andbeyondfestival and talk about what it was like to be in the room when Jerry Garcia’s Tiger guitar sold for $11.56M at Christie’s. We cover a lot of ground… if you love music tidbits, this chat rips! 

Full video at the link in my bio. I’ll be rolling out some clips throughout the week. Meanwhile, here’s some of the lore:

• How he got texts from Garcia’s best man congratulating him on a guitar he didn’t buy
• He and Susan ate ravioli at Cyndi Lauper UWS apartment that same night
• Played Tiger at the Beacon the next night and snapped two strings
• Had TTB work up Zappa’s “Willie the Pimp” just so he could play Frank’s Baby Snakes guitar with the fuzz built right in
• Has an Ass Pocket Whiskey tour truck, so Derek Trucks now has a truck
• Filled a bourbon barrel to share with his newborn grandson in 20 years
• Won the 50/50 raffle at the Jacksonville Jaguars home opener

Huge thanks to @ashleypurdum for logistics to put this together and @dan_shapiro for the edit. 

OK... go watch it on the @BroBible YouTube! Link in bio, etc et al 🤘🥃✊
