the nine years been.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
In this industry for a while, by travel.

Light me because I've been here nine years and I
started doing this when I was with the Chicks. People
would just send us stuff, right, they would sort of
send them stuff and they would include me on it.
And so I was so honored that people would send
me stuff. I said, well, I'm I don't do any
actual work around here, so I don't need a desk
to work. I'm just going to create a spread of
(01:22):
museum of all the yeah, all the stuff that people
have sent me or given me. And it was pretty cool.
I mean up until here a week ago, I had
it in full full force, and it was a really cool,
like display of of all of this history. Yeah, I mean.
And then I was a picture of my family and
you know, my wife, my daughter, and and all these
other things out there, and concert posters from things I'd
(01:44):
gone to. And man, the one thing I hated I'm
gonna lose is that Inglorious Bastards poster. That was an
awesome poster. Yeah, it's a cool one, keV. You're an
Glorious Bastards fan. I know.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, that's my favorite Tarantino movie.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's the it was the the the the baseball bat
that the guy used and then it's got the barbed
wire with the blood coming off of it, and it's
got a Nazi helmet on it, and it's said, once
upon a time in Nazi occupied France. I hate that.
I'm gonna lose that. But my wife, she was like.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You're not bringing all that stuff home with you, No,

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I was like, yeah, so you don't even know much.
I've been to your desk, I know, so I was
you've been trying to come with all this stuff? Would
you like to show, like, I mean, this is just
a I've taken some of the very important stuff home
that I wanted to keep, stuff from my childhood, other
stuff that was very important to me. But like some
of the things just to give another people idea. Have
a variety in hodgepodge. On the YouTube feed, you can
(02:38):
see this casey holding up this retro ten seventy WIBC
mesh capp. I'm guessing that's probably from the eighties, would
be my guess, maybe the early nineties. It's at one
time it was white. Time it was white. It's a
little cream color. I would love to keep all of
this stuff. I just can't, Like, there's just no room
(02:59):
for it. Like my wife give me very strict instructions.
We cut a deal in what I could bring up. Yes,
Casey would look great on you. Okay, actually kind of cute.
Well you can have it. Okay, congratulations, it's a piece
of radio memorabilia yours. You've got what this hill? This,
This is a this is a great one. You know
who gave me that. Chris Spangle, a friend of the show,
gave me that. It's a McAfee John McAfee, who is
(03:20):
a complete nutbag, the guy who invented McAfee anti virus software,
ran for president on the Libertarian ticket in twenty sixteen.
I was a huge McAfee fan because he was a
complete screwball, and I thought it was great for politics. Lifeless. Yeah,
as a mac mcaffee button. This Hillary Clinton mask with
the eyes pikes out of it, you could put it on. Yeah,
(03:42):
there's there's actually photos of Casey with the mask on.
She's now putting it on the YouTube feed.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, I put the mask on and I stood next
to the life size cutout of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, right, kind of scary.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Speaking of Donald Trump, there's a little what would you
call this with.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Some sort of like stand stand it's like a bust
and it says hey liberals, and he's giving a giant
middle finger.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
And then on the other side it says, hey, media, I.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Still wish I could keep that. Yeah. And then last
I have a got a Trump. Uh no, it's a
Chicks on It.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Well, it's Trump, but twenty twenty Chicks on the Right
because conservatism needs a makeover.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
What is that? That's what do they call those? Is
that a tumbler? Yeah, it's coffee tumbler. It's actually really nice.
Rock you Well, you can have it. I know you
were a big Chicks on the Right fan before you
got here. So my point is like, there's just so
much of it. And I collected all this stuff and
I loved how it was displayed, and so you know,
I'm having to get rid of all this stuff. What
are we going to take give it away at Radio
Thon whatver?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah? And that said, we should take it all down
to Radiothon at Sullivan's with us on Friday. And if
we have any listeners that.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Come by and they want to want some of my stuff, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well we'll put it on a table and you could depict.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Okay, So I took some of the stuff home. I
gave a bunch of the photos, like to my mom
because she won a bunch of photos of Livy that
already had, so I didn't, you know, obviously need two
of them. And then I have this collection stuff we're
gona take to Radiothon. And then there was this one
thing and you and I got in any conversation about this,
and I thought, well, this would be fascinating to converse
about on the air. So in my ensemblest stuff, I
mean we're talking hundreds of items, right, anybody who's seen
(05:12):
this stuff and I was thrown around I had Two
years ago, I engaged in a social experiment with the
lovely young lady and she was an artist on the side,
and she was phenomenally talented and created many, many great
(05:32):
pieces of art. And I pretended to be interested in it,
and she gave me two of these really cool pieces
of art that she did. Know again, this is way
before I met my wife. This was years ago, and
as part of the ensemble stuff that I just kept
over the years, right that I just had, it was
just thrown in there, and you and I got any
(05:53):
conversation because they're really cool pieces of art, like they're
very well done and I'm not even an art person.
I told you, I said, I can't bring that home,
can I?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Absolutely not. You cannot bring that home, especially when.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Your wife has already told you you can't bring that
stuff home. She is talking about this bust from Donald
Trump of Donald Trump, or this WIBC baseball hat that
you'll never wear. She certainly does not want gifts from
an ex brought to her house.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
No, no, Rob, Well, it wasn't like I had it
because this person had any you know, meaning to me.
I haven't heard this person in years. It was just
they were really cool pieces of art, and I was like,
I don't have to get rid of that, do I.
It's a cool piece of art. I'll just leave it
here on my desk. You should have gotten rid of it. Yes,
It's like I stirred at every day and was like, oh,
that person meant so much to me.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I know. They were just two pieces of art in
a collection.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Of many of things.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
However, it was given to you from someone that you
had a past.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Relationship, but from years ago. Huh but from years ago?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So you don't believe you?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So I could assure you it was, but so you
said I have to get rid of it. Uh uh.
I was like, well, I hate to throw this away
because it's very well done.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I know you want to hold on to it so
bad because of your love for the art.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
And so the most eclectic person I know is Kevin.
So I gifted them to Kevin.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh so now Kevin can have your ex girlfriend's art work.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Girlfriend's a strong word, kid.

but I was nearly brought to tears.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
And how we're fined those really good Yes, thank you,
they're really good numbers. It's not that good.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You guys are acting like this is like a renoir
or something.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
What are you gonna do with the art? Are you
taking it home? Do you have a desk cylinder file?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
So I actually have, So I have that cubby above
my desk. I've got it in there for now. Yeah,
but I'm gonna bring it home at some point. Okay,
probably hang it up, probably reframe it.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We don't.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
We don't have any like desk at the new place.
That's part of why ID to get rid of all
this stuff, right, and and there's like you get a locker.
I was like, I'm gonna put in a lot, but
you have a desk.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Put some artwork in a locker, so if you can
hold on to it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You have a desk.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Right, I'll have the little production studio. I mean, I
have a desk here, but obviously, but at the new place,
I don't think I'll have an actual desk.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
We have nothing at the new place. They're like, it's
gonna be so great. I was like, great for who?
I have nothing there. I have all sorts of cool
stuff here, all of these things that people have given
me over the years, and now I have to get
rid of all of it.

wants it at radio though Friday, some.

we like some grand prize winner, like if you give
a certain amount of money that we give you all
of robst I think we.

your emotions. If they've won something, they can have it.

you've gotta.

Have everything displayed nicely.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
It was a real.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Question were these gifts all purely sentimental? What was going
on here? What was the attachment with the art work.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I love our audience. That's why I kept no, I said,
the artwork. I kept it the same way kept everything
else people had sent to me. Right, Like, I don't like.

your advanced stage and I get look sixty three is

all part of an on. It was piled up, was
