After premiering in January last year for Fox, the 30-minute comedy, The Mick, is well into its second season. The show focuses on the missteps of Mackenzie “Mickey” Molng (played by Kaitlin Olson) as she serves as the parental guardian for her niece and nephew in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Mick also sees regularly hilarious appearances by Jimmy Shepherd (played by Scott MacArthur), Mickey’s on-again-off-again boyfriend.

In a recent episode, Jimmy talks at length about his “spiritual” experience during a String Cheese Incident show at Red Rocks in ’96. As Jimmy tells the kids:

Sometimes a higher being doesn’t present itself in a church or a sunset. The spiritual experience can find you when you least expect it. Now for me, it was the String Cheese Incident—Red Rocks ’96. They played for seven straight hours in 108-degree heat. A set so divine and filled with love your little mind couldn’t possibly grasp it through mere description.

However, it’s worth noting that String Cheese Incident never played Red Rocks in 1996; rather, the Colorado-born jam band made their debut at the iconic Colorado amphitheater in 1999, performing first in June for Telluride on the Rocks with Peter Rowan and later again that summer in August for Summer Sessions, sharing the bill with Phil & Friends, moe., Galactic, and Gov’t Mule.

After beginning to play a bootleg copy of the “show,” the kids express skepticism at the spiritual revelation, with Sabrina noting that the tune is only spiritual to those who “like to listen to 40-minute-long songs and spin around until you have a seizure.” Shortly after, audience members on the show’s tape can be heard arguing about drugs and Jimmy and the kids begin to have a back-and-forth on sound of the show—the kids more focused on the song itself while Jimmy maintains its the quality of the audio (“Once the glockenspiel comes in, you’re going to really understand”).

Hilariously, when the young boy walks away, Jimmy ends the exchange on this final note, angrily declaring, “If he’s not going to open his mind, there’s not a lot I can do for him.”
