The untimely passing of Pat Casey had a ripple effect through the world that couldn’t be avoided. News pieces, scumbag clickbait YouTube videos, graffiti on freeways in his honor, jams in both sides of the world, and a million instagram posts paying homage to the legacy Pat has left behind.
I was a friend of Pat—one of a few thousand—who happens to run a “news” outlet and I really struggled with what I should post and when. A few days after his passing, we began discussing doing a podcast that simply just pays respect to Pat. Who he was, what he did, how he lived. But, I just don’t think any of us were ready to be on camera yet. After two weeks, Kevin Peraza, Andy Buckworth, Dennis, and myself all decided that it was time to make it happen...
This was a difficult one and I’m not sure we did the best job with it. As soon as the cameras were off, it felt like all the emotions we were holding down just poured out. We spent another hour or so outside just sharing more stories of Pat and all the random memories of funny shit he did or had going on. It could've gone on for days... —Ryan
