What's up, up, Fungal Associates? Welcome to Complete Arbitrary, the

podcast about trees and other related topics. I'm one of your hosts, my name is Alex Croson, and over there on the

there on the couch we got monsieur Casey clap

just hanging oh wow Casey I can't help but notice you yawned loudly into the mic why would that be well you said that I was hanging out on the couch

So I thought that to me felt like I should be casual I thought that was your transition into a disclaimer that

were both very sleepy this morning. Yes that is also true I am also we are yes that I

should that's you know he was a double entendra I think I suppose so yeah yeah why are you tired Alex well Casey I had a great last couple of days I went up to Seattle with the band that I play in is a bea via Walker and we played a K-E-X-P session

what I really wanted to do for a really long time hold on K-E-E-X-P, you mean the independent public-funded radio station out of Seattle

that always has cool acts on the internet?

90.3, K-E-X-P!

Oh my God!

Alex, I'm so stoked about this, by the way.

I know, me too.

It's kind of surreal that I am gonna be on one of those.

Yeah, I know it's not like, okay, it's not a,

it may not be objectively a huge deal because they have a million of those videos

yeah sure sure but I'm very proud of our group and yeah it was such a cool opportunity

and I love all those all of my bandmates I mean they don't invite just anyone to go up there they have they I don't have an invite

they have some karaoke come on and do some a a cappella scat. Hey could you could you do like a really bad version of Tom Waits?

But it was amazing and it was a super long day because a few hours after we recorded that we played a show at the Sunset Tavern which also went great and then around 11 o'clock we drove home to Portland.

It's just insane.

But of course you and I, Alex, we're on a tear right now
