| 0:00.0 | So I took a vacation to visit Casey. If I'm honest, it was not entirely to visit Casey. |
| 0:07.6 | No, that was a happy coincidence if we're honest with each other. It worked out well. |
| 0:11.9 | Casey's there all the time, but there was something else that was there that made you go now. |
| 0:15.7 | Yes. One of my new favorite bands, Goose was there playing a couple of shows in Richmond. |
| 0:23.0 | You know, it's one of the things that were like, I looked, I'm like, I kind of want to see Goose's fall. |
| 0:25.7 | I was looking at, like, where they're playing, and, you know, I like a good venue. I also like good seats. And I looked, I'm like, oh, they're playing in Richmond. That's interesting. maybe I could fly on there and see Casey and see Goose |
| 0:35.4 | and maybe I could even bring Casey to Goose |
| 0:37.9 | and then I looked, I went on like, you know, |
| 0:40.8 | one of the ticket resale. I could fly on there and see Casey and see Goose. And maybe I could even bring Casey to Goose. |
| 0:38.6 | And then I looked, I went on like, you know, one of the ticket resale sites. |

| 0:46.8 | Basically, like, the best seats you could possibly have in this venue, the first row of seats behind the general admission pit, but it's also like elevated three |
| 0:57.2 | feet above the pit. So you're just looking across the top of everybody. You can be seated and be |
| 1:02.8 | looking above the entire pit and you're perfectly centered, the perfect distance from the stage |
| 1:08.2 | to get all the light effects and everything. And I was like, oh, I can't let these go. |
| 1:12.6 | And like, and you know, they were like, maybe they were pricey for Richmond, but they were not pricey for New York, if you know what I mean? So I was like, oh, yeah, this is a no-brainer. I'm getting these tickets. So I'm actually, I ask Casey real quick and like, hey, by the way, are you free this night by any chance. |
| 1:26.5 | Yeah, okay. |
| 1:28.6 | So, |
| 1:29.4 | I, |
| 1:30.2 | we booked everything and, real quick and like, hey, by the way, are you free this night by any chance? Yeah, okay. |
| 1:28.7 | So, uh, I, we booked everything and, and Casey was, first of all, an amazing host. |
