RJ- Lets get back to Casey. How was it recording with him?Ben- He was a goof.
Brian- I don't care how much anyone wants to fellate Casey for being a prog rock story telling god, the man's true talent is being fucking hilarious.
Ben- I felt like he was Wayne and Andy was Garth.
Aaron- Casey reminded me of the god Zeus, when he spoke it was like he was spitting lightning bolts.
Brian- He's just a really dynamic individual. He's not really the type of person you can ever relax around, but in a good way. You're always on your toes and I think that definitely helped us work hard.
RJ- Any funny stories he wouldn't mind you telling?Brian- Well there's the Tim and Eric part...
RJ- The tv show?Brian- Casey does an extremely accurate impression of Dr. Steve Brule (John C. Reilly) from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job on Adult Swim. He did it the first day and it became a point of humor at least once an hour for the rest of the trip. Whether it was trying to get Casey to do it again or Jeff (Drums) and Mike attempting to impersonate him and failing.
Ben- I was recoridng a part once and after a take I was like "Yeah I don't think I've really got it all the way quite right." And he says "Listen, I don't really care. How about you just play your fucking part." Everyone laughed but me...
RJ- Kidding of course...Ben- NO... haha yes.
Brian- I also enjoyed when Mike was recording vocals... Casey: "That was flat, do it again." Mike: "Yeah I don't really know whats happening... I mean I guess it's just because-" Casey: "Yeah, I didn't mean for you to delve into the reasoning behind it, I just wanted you to do it again."
Brian- He's a very no-bullshit guy but the mood always stays pretty light.
Brian- It was also nice when the rest of The Dear Hunter came in at various points, except for Sagan (Bass). Nick (Drums) was in a few days, Erick (Guitar) hung out all day once.
RJ- Is Erick really like the way he writes on the internet?Brian- Pretty much.
Ben- Does he write with exclamations?
RJ- He writes like this... YOOOOOOOO DUDES!!!! NEW DEAR HUNTER ALBUM COMING SOON!!!! WORD? WOOOOOOOORD!!!!!!*All three laugh*

Aaron- Yeah!
RJ- Fine with me.Ben- Let's see: Aaron- his pedalboard. Brian- his Nike shoes
Brian- My favorite thing about Ben is his individuality and my favorite thing about Aaron is his dedication to stuff he loves.
Aaron- My favorite thing about Ben is that he is into real good movies and music and he shares them, and my favorite thing about Brian is that he is real into moving this music thing forward, plus he makes me laugh over 9000 times a day.
