Big stages magnify everything...the wins and the wipeouts.

In this episode, we break down awards season through a DJ lens: the Golden Globes walk-on music debate, the Grammys stacked with performances (and a few brutal tech gremlins), and a Super Bowl halftime set that balanced spectacle with cultural impact. What makes a song “make sense” on a big stage? And how do you translate that kind of contextual precision to a packed dance floor?

We dig into the craft behind walk-on cues: when to go clever, when to default to instrumentals, and how to keep energy high without stealing focus from the host. The Grammys become a production clinic: why ambitious staging multiplies failure points, and why tight, simple execution often beats spectacle.

Then we zoom in on real DJ disasters: from a full PA dropout at a pregame party to speakers tapping out mid-event. We unpack the safeguards working DJs should build into every show: confidence monitors, clear hand signals, redundancy planning, and having someone who can communicate fast when the unexpected hits.

We also debate whether halftime performances actually shift requests, how cultural moments translate (or don’t) to private events, and how to test trending tracks without derailing the room. Add in real-world road upgrades - gear, prep strategy, and travel logistics - and this becomes less recap and more field manual.

If you care about contextual song choice, production risk, resilience under pressure, and avoiding your own DJ disaster, this one’s for you.

Follow the show, share it with a DJ friend, and drop a comment with your go-to walk-on track.  What’s your current clutch pick and why?

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:18.480
What's up everybody?

00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:24.480
Welcome back to Beyond the DJ booth with your host, Joe Bun, and your other host, Mr.

00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:26.800
Brian Bonacisi Jr.

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:29.600
Dude, they used my full name at the NACE meeting.

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:30.960
And they got it right, I thought.

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:31.920
Oh, that they may have.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:32.640
I didn't even pay attention.

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.840
I was talking with so much tech, I wasn't even paying attention to the intro.

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:36.799
But we won't go there.

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:38.159
I don't want to start negative.

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:40.960
It wasn't my fault.

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.000
We had you.

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:42.399
It wasn't you.

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:51.840
To be fair, when you when you hook up your computer and then somebody comes behind you and hooks it up and then hooks theirs up and then expects yours to go back, you can guarantee it's gonna be a shit show.

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:52.159
Yeah.

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.799
But before we get started, I had that on my list of things to talk about.

00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.079
Bro, you killed that shit.

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:06.480
Oh I know you didn't have like all your notes and you like you know didn't have your like couple of little stingers or stories or haha funny lines.

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:14.719
But man, I'm telling you, Brian, uh I am on the programs committee for Triangle NACE, which is National Association of Catering and Events.

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:21.439
You guys have heard me relentlessly talk about how important it is to be a member of this organization if they have a chapter anywhere near you.

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:30.000
Anyway, I'm on the board now on the programs committee, and we just took over and we did not have anything for February around December.

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.599
And we were like panicking to find a venue, panicking to find a speaker.

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.799
I'm like, look, I got somebody local and he will crush.

00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.560
And they don't like Brian has only been here, what, three years?

00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.879
So he's not known in Raleigh like I am.

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.359
And and again, he's on a plane every week.

00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.400
His shows are in Florida, New York, California, blah, blah, blah.

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.000
And they were like, Man, are you sure?

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.239
I'm like, dude, trust me, this dude's gonna crush.

00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.840
And they gave him he gave us like four or five topics that he he could do.

00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.280
And he did was it building an unshakable pricing model?

00:01:59.599 --> 00:01:59.760
Yeah.

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:00.560
Is that the title?

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.079
I'm telling you, man, everybody in that room, I probably we had about 75 people.

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:10.639
We have 75 to 100 at every meeting, and they came up to me after one, like, your boy killed.

00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:11.360
So good.

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:11.919
Thank you, man.

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.840
So you made me look good.

00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:23.120
And and honestly, man, I was sitting there at the back of the room listening, and I'm and even though I do this, you know, and we'll sit here and record all day and we hang out and whatever.

00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.840
I still was sitting there, like, man, if I didn't know this guy, I would still be like, hell yeah.

00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:28.000
Yeah.

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:28.719
You know what I mean?

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.639
Like, there were people taking notes, there were people that had their phones taking screen grabs.

00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.240
That's when you know you're connecting.

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:34.479
Yeah.

00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:35.599
And you were doing it.

00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.400
I never did see anybody take a bathroom break, so that's kind of always a good sign.

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:38.719
Yeah.

00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:40.400
They don't bounce out or take a ball.

00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.319
The only I saw one person leave when you went into QA because it looked like she had to go and probably had a babysitter or something.

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:46.479
Yeah.

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.080
Had to get home, but that was it.

00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:48.319
Yeah.

00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:49.840
And that's how you know you're doing it.

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:56.240
And I saw very few people, you know, under the table texting or like scrolling Instagram or whatever.

00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:57.919
Like it was really good, man.

00:02:58.240 --> 00:02:58.639
It was cool.

00:02:58.719 --> 00:02:58.960
Good job.

00:02:59.120 --> 00:02:59.759
Well, thanks for having me.

00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:00.400
That was awesome.

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:00.960
Oh, yeah.

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.400
Well, let's thank some of our friends.

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.560
We got some new uh back room members.

00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:05.360
Let's do it.

00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:06.240
Can we start off?

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.080
I'm gonna start with the first one because I see the second one and I'm gonna let you take a crack at that one.

00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.759
Uh Brad Park, thanks for joining uh our back room at the Patreon.

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.599
Sorry, the screen is like behind the camera.

00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:16.960
Anthony Govazdin.

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:18.800
Anthony Govazdin.

00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:19.520
I love that.

00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:20.159
Well done.

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:20.639
Who else?

00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:21.039
Who else?

00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:22.080
Chris McMahon.

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:22.639
Yep.

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.960
Our boy Kevin Nichols, and then our boy Wyatt Hill.

00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:28.080
Wyatt Hill.

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:29.120
Wyatt Hill.

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:29.759
Love that.

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.199
Good stuff, good stuff.

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:39.439
Um so I'm doing some prep for this and came up with some new bits or new new takes on and for the segment.

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:40.719
New bits, like a new segment?

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:42.240
Yeah, well, take on new bits.

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:42.800
Oh, okay.

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.840
For the transcriber out there that's bits with a B.

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.439
Just want to make sure in case uh anything gets kind of messed up here.

00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.719
But this is uh a take on Can You Find the One?

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.240
So we'll play that bumper.

00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:55.599
Can you find the one?

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:07.599
Don't find all right.

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.360
So new take on Can You Find the One.

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:10.479
It's always been with the drums.

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:10.800
Yeah.

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:12.960
Now we're gonna change it up a little bit.

00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:13.280
Okay.

00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:14.479
I got a song for you.

00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:14.960
Okay.

00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:16.319
Well-known song.

00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.480
We're gonna use uh Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles.

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.560
But you know how like uh where it comes in out of the verse and then it goes hi, you know, right into the chorus?

00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:26.879
Yeah.

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.199
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna play a little bit of the verse.

00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.040
You'll see the actual lyrics on here.

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:31.600
Okay.

00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.480
I'm not asking you to sing the melody if you want to sing it, great.

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.360
Okay, but I fade out the music towards the middle of the verse.

00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:39.519
Yeah.

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.480
So you have to keep singing it in rhythm until it gets to the high, and then you'll hear the hear it come in.

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:45.759
Oh, this is tough.

00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:46.800
I'm a terrible singer.

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:47.600
I think it is.

00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.519
And my voice is cooked, as you can tell.

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:49.920
Yeah.

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.120
So this these are the lyrics.

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:51.600
It'll be.

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:52.959
By the way, time out.

00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:53.439
Okay.

00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:54.639
Bucket list.

00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.360
Not bucket list seeing Harry Styles.

00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:58.879
Going to Madison Square Garden.

00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.519
You know, he's doing a 30 show run at Madison Square Garden.

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:02.000
No.

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:03.199
Yeah, 30 shows.

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.879
Which is at Madison Square Garden.

00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.560
Oh, in just at Madison Square Garden.

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:06.959
Wow.

00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:07.839
Are you gonna go?

00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.959
Yo, we got disco pit tickets.

00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.360
There's only 300 people in the little circle right there by Harry.

00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:15.920
Wow.

00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.199
I'm so hyped, bro.

00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:18.160
It's when is it?

00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.199
Um, two days before my birthday, September 23rd.

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:21.680
Wow.

00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.519
Madison Square Garden, Harry Style.

00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:24.639
Have you ever been to Madison Square Garden?

00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.000
No, that was what I'm saying.

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:27.040
That's the bucket list.

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:27.279
Yeah.

00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:28.399
Styles is a bonus.

00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.319
I mean, I love Styles, but you're gonna love it.

00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:30.560
Yeah.

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:31.439
That's a great place to go.

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:32.959
And the fact that you can just walk there.

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:33.279
Yeah.

00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:33.920
You know what I mean?

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.879
Stay at a hotel and get a hotel rec from you from nearby.

00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:37.279
Oh, yeah.

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:37.920
Walk over there.

00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:38.639
That's the move.

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:39.199
Turn up.

00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:40.959
I'm in the disco pit, VIP.

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:41.600
That's the move.

00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:42.160
Shit.

00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:42.800
That's the move.

00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:43.120
Okay.

00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.600
So the first two lines will be with him singing.

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.079
Got it.

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.000
And then you're on your own once you get to.

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:52.000
And so kind of keep it in time, and we're gonna see if you get it to where it says sugar high.

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:52.480
Okay.

00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:53.439
You ready?

00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:54.959
So first take.

00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.720
Okay, this is before the last word.

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:05.040
Yeah.

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.240
I love this song.

00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:07.279
Alright, here we go.

00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.160
And it sounds like a song.

00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:17.040
Yeah.

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:22.079
I want your belly in the summer feeling.

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:27.759
I don't know if I can watermelon sugar.

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.759
Oh, what a feeling is damn close.

00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.800
I didn't know that was the line of that fourth line.

00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:36.480
I don't know if I could ever go without.

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:37.759
Yeah, it was damn close.

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:38.639
You want to try it again?

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:39.680
You want to give you a take two?

00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:40.319
Yeah.

00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.959
Bring it up a little bit more, say go on if you can.

00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:46.800
Take two.

00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:47.040
Okay.

00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.879
I mean, I want you to go crazy when you get to that shit.

00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:53.680
You don't have to whisper here.

00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.279
On a summer evening.

00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.600
And it sounds just like a storm.

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.959
I want your belly and a summer feeling.

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.439
I don't know if I can.

00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.199
No, I'll blow it.

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.560
What a melon sugar.

00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:15.199
Hi.

00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:17.920
It's hard.

00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:18.800
It is hard.

00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.079
I don't that that that fourth line is what throws you, I think.

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:22.800
Yes, it is.

00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:23.600
I know there's a pause.

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:26.720
Last time.

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:27.519
Let's go.

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.000
No.

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:29.519
Can I hear?

00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:35.519
No, I I I mean that's where you gotta kind of just like almost like two.

00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:35.759
Okay.

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:36.879
That's where the beat is.

00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:40.480
Okay, okay.

00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:41.439
Do the third one.

00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:42.480
One more time.

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.439
You're a drummer, bro.

00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:50.879
You gotta keep that kick.

00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.480
Tastes like strawberries.

00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:58.639
On a summer evening.

00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.519
And it sounds just like strawberry.

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:05.680
I want jumber.

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.800
And the summer feeling.

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:10.560
I don't know.

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.160
Oh without watermelon sugar.

00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:14.639
Ha.

00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:19.839
I must have picked it too.

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:20.639
You didn't pick it up.

00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:21.040
You didn't.

00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:22.160
I can hear it.

00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:23.040
Damn it.

00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:24.319
Well, you're a still cross.

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:25.439
We'll get you on another one.

00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:26.319
We'll get you on another one.

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:27.040
It's a good bit.

00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:27.759
Alright, alright.

00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:28.240
So there we go.

00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:29.439
Hi for the singing.

00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:30.399
It's not good.

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.960
My voice is destroyed from that Dallas trip.

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:34.480
I don't know when we're gonna talk about that.

00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:35.279
Oh, it's coming.

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:35.600
Okay.

00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.360
So let's go to the pop culture a minute.

00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:38.080
Brian B.

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:39.039
Joe Bun.

00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.440
Dropping heat just for fun.

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.919
Pop talk spinning like a record spine.

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:47.519
Woo!

00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.679
Pop culture class where the stories collapse.

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.200
Two DJs bringing the flavor we're a while.

00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:00.559
So, dude, um, it's been awards season.

00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:01.279
Yes.

00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.480
So and we we haven't patched in a while, so we're we're way behind.

00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:05.919
So we're gonna we're gonna have to catch up.

00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:06.879
We're gonna talk about the Super Bowl.

00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:07.679
Oh, all that.

00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:08.799
Yeah, it's all in this mix.

00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:09.120
Okay.

00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:10.799
So it's goal on this episode?

00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:11.039
Yeah.

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:12.080
God dang it.

00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:13.679
So the Golden Globes happen.

00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:15.840
And I'll put this picture up here.

00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.159
This DJ totally got roasted for playing some of this stuff.

00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:21.519
I actually thought it was pretty good.

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:22.320
I have a clip here.

00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:23.440
Do we know this guy?

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:23.919
I don't.

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.200
I don't even know if that's him.

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:26.399
I'm guessing.

00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:26.960
Oh.

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.360
I think they just picked a random, but maybe not.

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.720
It does have the Golden Globes picture.

00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:31.519
So maybe it is him.

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:32.559
DJ Max.

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.159
Sorry to shout you out.

00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.399
But it's on the hold on.

00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:37.440
Stop.

00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.200
Before we even get into that.

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.639
Number one, whoever's editing this, put the fucking picture up.

00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.159
Number two, that's the TJ Maxx logo.

00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:46.879
Right there.

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:47.600
Look on his left.

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:48.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:48.639
Oh, I got it.

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.879
No, but he changed the TJ part to DJ.

00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.840
Oh, I didn't even notice that.

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.600
Yes, that's the exact same logo as TJ Maxx with the DJ.

00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.200
Wow played.

00:09:59.360 --> 00:09:59.679
Jeez.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:00.399
Is it?

00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:00.960
I don't know.

00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.360
Well, is that a tone arm too with the J?

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:03.600
Yeah.

00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:04.639
Kind of a tone arm?

00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:10.720
Well, if you didn't see the Golden Globes, there's a I took this clip from social, so go ahead and hit it.

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:17.440
Whoever was DJing, I must have a word because the music that played, I couldn't believe my ears.

00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.120
It was like 2010's pop hits.

00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.799
I was like, am I at a Sweet 16?

00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.240
Am I at a Bot Mitzvah?

00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:25.759
Like, what is happening?

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.720
Oh, best movie, one battle after another.

00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.440
We found love in a hopeless place.

00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.559
I'm like, what why are we picking these songs?

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:35.919
Some of them made sense.

00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:42.080
Judd Apatow coming out to A Pitza was like clearly a decision made.

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.279
But then there was just some that you were like, why the f is this song playing?

00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:45.919
I'm so sorry.

00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:47.279
24 Carat Magic.

00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.559
Like, I know.

00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.320
It was DJ Earworm.

00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.080
It was United States of Pop.

00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.559
It's like we have the music plus the announcing.

00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:55.679
Like it was, it was a lot.

00:10:55.919 --> 00:11:02.480
The two minutes of yeah, while Stell and Skarsgard came from the rafters to get on stage filled quite enough of air time.

00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:03.919
I mean, poor guy.

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.759
Oh my God, that killed me.

00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.200
So if you didn't see some of these, yeah, hit the hit the next one.

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:15.840
Mel Brooks, the 99-year-old man, and my Pilates instructor, please welcome Judah Pazel.

00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.639
I thought that was genius.

00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.240
I mean, that one's good.

00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:22.960
Yeah.

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:25.600
Well, thank you.

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:27.200
Thank you.

00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:29.360
Everyone's kind of giving it.

00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.080
And then the one that creates everyone did he um recognize it?

00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.399
I'm guessing because he just started laughing right there.

00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:36.720
Okay.

00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.039
But the one that everyone talked about is this next one.

00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.080
It's been 35 years since I've been to the gold.

00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:09.759
So like he made the connection that it's been 35 years since he's done by the return of a map.

00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.919
Which I thought was like super cool.

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:13.279
That one now.

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:15.120
I don't know.

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:20.399
I mean, so what's your guy a genius?

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.639
Or is he just there's an art to this?

00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:23.519
A hundred thousand.

00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:24.080
You know what I mean?

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:24.799
Yes.

00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:27.919
And I will talk about it when we get to a gear segments later on down the road.

00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.120
Not gear segments, but like uh story time when we talk about gigs.

00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.919
But like I am trying to find connection points like that.

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.639
I don't think they have to always be on the nose like that.

00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:37.039
Right.

00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.639
But the songs you play have to make sense in in some respects.

00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:41.360
You know what I mean?

00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:49.279
I think people are just thrown off by like, you know, most times it's just like a band playing or something, right?

00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.799
You know, real soft jazz or something.

00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:51.919
Orchestral, right?

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:53.759
It just kind of threw people off, maybe.

00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:54.879
I think so too.

00:12:55.039 --> 00:13:02.559
But uh but to be fair, also, I think, especially like when we even do our conference or whatever, we always ask right what do you want to do?

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:03.679
What do you want to walk-up song to be?

00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.600
And I I'm assuming they did not do that.

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.000
I have never seen them do that for something like this before.

00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:12.080
Like I don't think they're calling up, you know, uh McCauley and go, hey, what do you want to hear?

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:12.399
Right.

00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:14.960
Because they don't know that they've won.

00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:15.919
Oh, that's true, too.

00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:17.200
This is an award show.

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:32.960
I for me, man, when I don't know the people or don't have something just totally topical, whether it's about the theme of the award or that person's name or something like that, I'm I'm going instrumental, like we've talked about before.

00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:33.200
Yeah.

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:39.440
And it now it may be a banging instrumental, but I'm going, I'm not going, like he said, like a symphony type thing.

00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:39.679
Right.

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.879
And I'm not either, because I do feel like stuff like this keeps the energy.

00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.960
Five-hour, you know, show like this up for the people who are there.

00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:51.200
Yes, but I don't know that I'm going vocal We Found Love or 24K Magic.

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:52.480
I can see you doing We Found Love.

00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:53.679
You know, I love that.

00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:55.679
When they said that, I was like, did you play this?

00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:57.120
So I thought for sure.

00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.279
They they did a roast one though.

00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.960
This actually happened at the Grammys.

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.960
I don't know if you caught it, but roll this next clip for this guy.

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.120
Oh, I saw that.

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:10.639
Harry Styles comes out to play with the city.

00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:11.759
Where's my husband?

00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.559
Well, no, I'm I think it was.

00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:16.159
How do you read it?

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.480
They're like questioning his sexuality?

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:24.399
No, I'm reading it as the a female programmed this and was like, I'm in love with this dude.

00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:24.799
Oh.

00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:31.759
Because like when I saw this clip, the girl sent this clip and goes, Whoever picked this as Harry Styles' walkout song, yeah.

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.600
I hope you have a restful night's sleep and your pillow is extra comfy.

00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.039
Like she loved her for it.

00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:37.519
Really?

00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.279
That I mean, that's the way I would get it.

00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:39.759
Okay.

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.159
Well, there has been questions about like, is he gay?

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:42.720
Is he not?

00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:43.360
Like, they don't know.

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:44.240
Sure, sure, sure.

00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:44.720
Well, anyways.

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:46.320
He's with Zoe Kravitz now.

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:46.879
Oh, is he?

00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:47.279
Okay.

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:47.919
I didn't know that.

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.120
I don't follow him that closely.

00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.960
I mean, she's a she's a oh, she's a smoke show.

00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:53.519
Yeah.

00:14:54.000 --> 00:15:00.080
Um, so what we're gonna do is I am going to put together a pack of stingers that I typically play.

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:05.919
Woo! Shouldn't have probably said it this way, but it'll be part of the winky wink bonus content.

00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:06.799
Where?

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:07.279
Potentially.

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:07.759
Where?

00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:09.039
I'll let you kind of take it from here.

00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:10.000
In the Patreon.

00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:11.759
But you gotta be a backroom member.

00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.360
It's not just for anybody on that Patreon.

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.600
You gotta go with the 1990 none.

00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:15.840
Yeah.

00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.559
Her month membership, patreon.com slash beyond the DJ Booth Podcast.

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:20.960
Yeah.

00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:25.600
And I I mean, I do this a lot, so I tend to Bro, I do it a lot as well.

00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:27.440
You want me to add some of mine?

00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:28.080
Yeah, let's do it.

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:29.200
Let's do it to combine it.

00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:30.960
I'll add some of my favorites as well.

00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.559
All right, Boothheads, we made a move, and it's a bold one.

00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:36.879
We officially launched a Patreon.

00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.919
We've got two tiers: one for$5.99 and one for$19.99.

00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.679
Basically, the cost of a coffee or a cocktail, depending upon how you roll.

00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.039
Listen, this isn't some support us or we disappear kind of thing.

00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:54.480
You actually get some things that are useful that we think that you're gonna need to run your DJ business.

00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:06.159
Like early access to batched episodes, bonus episode that we couldn't post publicly, maybe, and our weekly top 10 banger lists, songs that absolutely crushed at our events this week.

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.279
You know, the stuff that you really want to steal from us anyway.

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:14.639
But if you want to go deeper, jump into the booth backroom at$19.99 a month.

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:16.879
That's where the extra love lives.

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:20.559
Monthly prize drawings like headphones, merch, coaching calls.

00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:27.759
We've got Serato exports of our history, discounts on exclusive merch, and record pool hookups.

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:35.440
Backroom members aren't just listening, they're actually shaping what this podcast is going to become and probably making your DJ sets better in the process.

00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:41.120
So stop texting us asking what remix was that and get in the booth for real.

00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:46.399
Patreon.com forward slash beyond the DJ Booth podcast.

00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:50.159
Choose a tier, grab your spot, and let's keep building.

00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:52.159
Booth heads, you know where to go.

00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:53.759
Suck Grammys.

00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:54.960
Grammys.

00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:55.360
Okay.

00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.200
I'm now I'm like trying to like every so much so much has happened.

00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:00.480
That so much has happened.

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:00.799
Right?

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.400
You've been around the world and back, but we'll talk about the the gears, though.

00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:05.839
I mean the gig stuff later.

00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:11.680
I want to see though with performances that you saw that were knocked your socks off, things you hated.

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:12.720
Going back and listening.

00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:16.079
Anything that was I thought the Grammys was really good this year.

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:17.039
I thought the same thing.

00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:22.319
I thought the Ashley was sitting there watching it with me, and she goes, Is this surprisingly good this year?

00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.880
And I go, Yeah, it actually is really good.

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:30.720
They did a lot more performances, I felt like a lot more performances, less talking, less bullshit.

00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.920
Um, I mean, you know Bruno.

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.880
I mean, Bruno up there in the freaking Valentine's 70s suits, crushed.

00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.359
He opened as well with with Rose.

00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:42.000
Yes.

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:50.240
Speaking of that, um I mean, remind me of a million things have happened since then.

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:55.599
Well, what I did love was that they did, I think it was just for one of the categories, maybe best new artist.

00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:56.559
That was insane.

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.359
Where they did everybody ten different people.

00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:00.000
Yeah.

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.240
The guy I felt terrible for.

00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:02.960
Yeah, that was bad.

00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:03.839
Alex Warren.

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.000
Yeah.

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.759
Are you gonna show the clip?

00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:06.559
So you want to hit it?

00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:07.599
This was sad.

00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:19.759
Oh man, I feel so bad for this kid.

00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:20.799
Yeah.

00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:22.880
This is what he's hearing in his ears.

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.279
I knew it had to be something like this.

00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.079
I saw him kept taking him out and putting them in.

00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:31.359
I felt sorry.

00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:33.200
And he's like so pissed.

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.039
But he held it together like a pro.

00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:37.440
He did, but man, it it that ain't good.

00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:40.079
There's two parts about this.

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.119
Yeah, explain.

00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.359
Uh his in-ears were playing it double.

00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:44.720
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:45.920
Echo, echo, echo.

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:49.119
So you see him, and he walks in from the top of the stadium.

00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:50.480
So there's two problems.

00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:54.640
One, he wanted to do something cool and walk in from the top of the stadium to the stage.

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:55.039
Yeah.

00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.920
Two, Tech should be able to handle that.

00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:05.519
I mean, I've seen Ja Rule out on the fucking lawn 200 miles from the stage at Walnut Creek, and and he can hear and sing perfectly.

00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:05.759
Right.

00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.240
Or I'm just making a I think it was Ja Rule.

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:19.119
But my my point is I I kind of I wanted to blame, I want to blame the sound guy first and foremost, but then I also have him like, dude, if you had just been on stage, I bet you wouldn't have had that problem.

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.920
Because there probably is wedges up there, you could have just ripped them out.

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:27.759
Like, but if you're gonna walk, I mean, again, from the top of Sofa, uh not SoFi, wherever this was, right?

00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:33.759
The forum or whatever, yeah, you know, 30,000 stables, 30, 40,000 people from the top all the way down.

00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.799
Like, there's a good chance you're gonna have some drops or a problem.

00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:37.440
Right.

00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:44.400
And so I it I just feel bad for him because he's he's new, he's green, he wanted it to be great, and it was far from it.

00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.720
And that song is it's an electric.

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:48.240
Yeah, it's powerful, right?

00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:49.119
Yeah, choir.

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.240
Maybe I'm just seeing just from the clip, but it still sounds good.

00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:53.680
It it's uh it's off.

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.319
Like I like even me and Axe were like, oh no, oh no.

00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:57.279
Like he at some point.

00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:58.720
He was behind.

00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:02.480
Oh, he's behind the second, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.039
Just like I was on the Harry Styles thing a minute ago.

00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:06.960
Yeah, it's like it anyway.

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:14.000
Well, I threw up a couple of categories of awards, yeah, and I thought we could just talk through any of these that kind of shook you, surprised you.

00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:18.079
I mean, album of the year was Bad Bunny, record of the year, Luther.

00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:24.400
Any I I don't put the rest of the um the contestants, but you saw what happened when the record of the year got announced?

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:27.759
No, I didn't know Chair goes, opens the envelope and goes Luther Vandross.

00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:28.480
Oh, I heard about that.

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:32.880
And like I was like, what now?

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:35.519
To be fair, to be fair, what is she like 80?

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.400
She's 80 years old.

00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:37.119
I looked it up.

00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:38.480
She's 79 or 80.

00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.720
So to be fair, I'll give her that.

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:42.400
Yeah, she looks 55.

00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:42.799
Yeah.

00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:47.359
Two, Luther is from her era, like he's passed now.

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.559
Like, did he pass?

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:48.960
He's dead.

00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:49.680
Yeah, he's been dead.

00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:50.720
He been dead.

00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.200
It's even worse to read out a dead man thing.

00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:54.559
He did.

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:55.279
Oh.

00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:56.960
Um, listen, man.

00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.079
I mean, Bad Bunny's on top of the world.

00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:02.880
Kendrick's not, I mean, Kendrick's Kendrick.

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:03.039
Yeah.

00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:04.559
I didn't see anything wrong with these.

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.200
Go to the next slide.

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:07.039
I don't shout out the dogs barking next door.

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:08.079
We're gonna keep going.

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:09.279
What's the next slide?

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:10.559
I got a couple categories.

00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:11.359
Song of the year.

00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:12.559
I was shocked at this.

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.599
I mean, I mean the other contenders.

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:17.279
Uh the song is boring to me.

00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:18.880
I mean, did you ever play it?

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:19.759
No, absolutely not.

00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:20.640
That's where I'm trying to come.

00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.920
Now, I did look it up, and that Song of the Year is more about songwriting.

00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:24.319
Correct.

00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:24.720
That's right.

00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:26.240
And melody and all of that stuff.

00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:28.160
But I'm like, this didn't even make a dent.

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.960
No, this was like very birds of a feather, maybe, yeah.

00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:31.519
Yeah.

00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:31.759
Nah.

00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:32.640
I was shocked.

00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:36.000
Like, so my question to you was on this specifically.

00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:37.359
How are they even?

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:43.440
I mean, are you listening to that many albums going that deep in every record that comes out to be able to figure this out?

00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:44.640
Like, how are they getting these?

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:47.759
No, the the artist has to submit first.

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:48.240
Got it.

00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:49.680
So now the pool is smaller.

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.920
Okay, so they're the ones that make the first initial play.

00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:52.400
That's right.

00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:52.799
That's right.

00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.880
And they may not even get picked up at all, as an artist who would be even considered.

00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:57.519
That's correct.

00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:58.000
Got it.

00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:58.400
Okay.

00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:59.599
Um, so I'm assuming that.

00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:01.440
That's one way to narrow it down.

00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:02.640
And then it goes low, you know.

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:04.799
But there's like 10,000 people I think could vote on this.

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:06.160
Yeah, they have like a voting committee.

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:06.880
Okay.

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:07.440
Yeah.

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:08.559
Best new artist.

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.640
I mean, Olivia Dean, I called this one early before she was even.

00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:14.319
I was like, this girl is gonna be huge.

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.160
That whole category was impressive.

00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:17.039
Tough.

00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.240
Anyone could have won, and I would have been fine with any of those.

00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:22.559
But she's been kind of a really good record.

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:26.559
It is your it is this record.

00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.000
There are seven to ten songs you can play for dinner on it.

00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:30.480
Oh, yeah.

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.759
It feels very Bossa Nova, uh loungy.

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:36.880
Who's the girl who um but not Nora Jones-ish.

00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.240
Yes, yes, yes.

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:39.599
Yes, she's got that kind of vibe.

00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:40.559
Nora Jones-ish.

00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:42.480
But like a little bit more upbeat.

00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:42.720
Yes.

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:43.440
You know what I mean?

00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:44.079
Absolutely.

00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:48.480
Not so it's a little more Bossa Nova, loungy.

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.279
Yeah.

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:50.079
She's awesome.

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:51.039
Let's hit the next one.

00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.920
I think we went to the pop category, and I just oh no, no, this is a little bit more.

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:55.599
Don't you?

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.039
You know, I hate that song.

00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:00.640
And you know, K-pop, this is the only thing they really won.

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:01.039
Yeah.

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:02.720
They weren't even a new artist.

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.000
Yeah, that doesn't category.

00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:04.960
I was kind of shocked about that.

00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:06.400
All right, now we can go to the next.

00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:08.160
We'll roll through these.

00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:09.759
Um, vocal album.

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:10.960
I'm shocked on this.

00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:11.759
Yeah, I was too.

00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:13.440
Lady Gaga's latest album.

00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:14.400
I mean, she had one hit.

00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.440
What are they looking for on this?

00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:16.400
I don't know.

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:17.519
It's crazy.

00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:18.400
Lola.

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:19.599
I was surprised on that one.

00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:20.400
I love the song.

00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.880
I do too, but I was surprised on this one as well.

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:24.160
I remember being surprised.

00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:30.000
Well, that have you there was a clip, and I thought I would get your take on this hot take on Messy Lola.

00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:31.599
So hit this next one.

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:35.839
Messi is this generation's Fleetwood Max dreams.

00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:39.519
Because I'm too messy, and then I'm too fucking crazy.

00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:50.240
I actually think it was probably the reference track because it oscillates back and forth between two chords, and you can even hear the sort of ethereal guitar, like the slide thing that's kind of in the background.

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:52.720
Right there.

00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:55.279
Same thing's happening in Messi.

00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:58.160
There it is.

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.960
So I think that's the obvious reference.

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:03.759
Wow.

00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:04.720
Kind of interesting.

00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:06.400
That is interesting.

00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:09.200
I mean, I don't think that's pretty tough to call her.

00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:14.559
If she's a new artist and you're literally saying that she's the Fleetwood Mac, I think it's a little a little stretched.

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:15.519
Well, I think it's, yeah.

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:22.640
I mean, I think that I think that whoever worked with her on this record, which obviously was a really good producer, was probably influenced by Fleetwood Mac.

00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.880
And I think any female singer would call Stevie Nicks like a god.

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:27.359
Yeah.

00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:29.920
So it's not a reach, I don't think.

00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:30.319
Okay.

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:30.559
All right.

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:35.119
I mean, if listen, if I'm trying to make a pop record, I'm trying to make it as close.

00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:36.240
I'm go to the goats.

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.599
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the goats.

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:38.160
Yeah.

00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:43.680
I'm gonna try and make it as close to something else that was transcending, you know, the last 40 years.

00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:45.279
I mean, that song's 40 years old now.

00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:45.599
Sure.

00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.319
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:47.920
Not call pop for nothing.

00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.559
Exactly.

00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:50.000
Or popular.

00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:52.480
There's a couple other uh categories here.

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.559
So uh I mean, any I don't really listen to country, but these were some of the ones.

00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.319
Jelly Rolls, uh beautiful, beautifully broken one country album.

00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:02.000
I mean, he's kind of on top of the world a little bit.

00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:03.440
Yeah, he is country singer.

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.640
Tylly I didn't wouldn't classify him as country, really.

00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:07.359
I was kind of shocked.

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:08.400
It's almost like any Demon.

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:10.720
It's almost like Americana, bluegrass.

00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:11.680
Do you know that song?

00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:13.519
Yeah, that new record is garbage.

00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:14.880
And I like that guy a lot.

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:15.759
I hate that album.

00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:16.480
Bite and list.

00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:17.519
That's from that, I'm assuming.

00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.480
Yeah, I hate it.

00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:21.759
And this Chris Stapleton song, I bad as I used to be.

00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:22.799
I don't know that one either.

00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:23.039
No.

00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:23.759
Are you either?

00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:26.640
I love Stapleton, yeah.

00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:27.440
I don't know that song.

00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:29.680
And I think I had one more category, possibly.

00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:30.640
Oh no, two more.

00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:31.839
Uh Best Rap album.

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:32.160
Yeah.

00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:33.119
Not shocking.

00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:33.599
Okay.

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:34.880
Uh Best Rap Performance.

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:36.160
I mean, you kind of called Clips Out.

00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:37.039
Still not shocking.

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:38.799
Was that from that album that Clips put out?

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:39.119
Yeah.

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:39.359
Okay.

00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:41.920
And then Best Rap Song Top.

00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:43.279
I thought that was super old.

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:50.960
Like, I'm surprised they the GNX album, though, is like it was it just hit the line right before cutoff or something like that.

00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:53.359
A lot of people were mad at like the hip-hop community.

00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:55.519
It was like, yo, y'all gonna keep giving him grace.

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:56.000
Right.

00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:56.319
Yeah.

00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:58.960
It carried a long time.

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.000
And then what?

00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.000
Did you see old boy the lefty gum play up?

00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:03.039
Though he's gotten sober.

00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:03.440
Oh, really?

00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:04.559
He had a tuxedo on.

00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:06.319
He spoke completely like normally.

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:06.720
That's good.

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:08.880
Did not make a fool out of himself or anything like that.

00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:09.599
I'd love to see that.

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.039
Yeah, that guy's a mess.

00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:11.359
Yeah.

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:11.759
All right.

00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:12.880
One last one, I think.

00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:13.839
Oh no, two more.

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:15.440
Crazy spooky sky.

00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:16.400
Dude, I love that song.

00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:16.960
I love that song.

00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:17.839
Who Dutton?

00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:19.839
But I'm like, I feel like it just came on the scene.

00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.160
Why does all of a sudden this one just sidebar?

00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:24.799
Did you know that was that kid actor from one of those?

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:26.960
What's that show?

00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:27.920
ICarly.

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:29.359
Did you know that?

00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:29.920
I don't know.

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:31.119
It's not our generation.

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:31.839
I know him.

00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:32.000
Yeah.

00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:32.880
He's been around for a while.

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:33.920
You knew it was that guy?

00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.839
I didn't know he was like still in it.

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:39.359
And then it started coming out again.

00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:41.519
I was like, Is that a new kid from iCarly?

00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:42.400
Wait a minute.

00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:44.480
Is that that kid from iCarly?

00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:45.279
Yeah, it's crazy.

00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:47.279
Have you heard any more on this album?

00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:48.559
Not really, no.

00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:49.279
It's a good album.

00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:49.920
Is it a good album?

00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:52.640
It's a really like he can, he's good.

00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:53.920
Like, I mean, like what I like.

00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:55.279
You know I love Leon Ridges.

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:56.319
Do you is it with it?

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:58.640
It's around, it's like kind of like really smooth RB.

00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.279
Almost not a grown and sexy, but like, you know, he's a young guy, so I know he's young, yeah.

00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:05.920
Super old school, but it's I need to give this a run then.

00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:06.400
It's nice.

00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:11.680
And then I was shocked, not shocked, to see this best RB performance folded by Kalani.

00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:16.799
That we remember when we went through all those TikTok tracks, and this was constantly coming up, even on the top 200.

00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:17.440
It was.

00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.640
So it's kind of uh, I mean, I still don't really play it in my face.

00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:21.200
Me neither.

00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:24.720
It's not really uh it's uh a dance record.

00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:26.000
It's not really a dance record, right?

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.759
Yeah, it's a breakup record, so it's not really like something you would play it out of out of the.

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:31.279
All right, let's hit the next one here.

00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:32.240
I think this is the last one.

00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:33.039
Nope, two more.

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:34.240
I just uh rock.

00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:35.599
I mean, I don't really play much rock.

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:37.359
I love rock, but I don't know.

00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:38.400
Do you know any of those bands?

00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:39.279
I don't know Turnstyle.

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.400
You know Nine's Nails.

00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:41.599
Oh, yes, I don't know Turnstyle.

00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:43.680
Young boy, I love that kid.

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:44.960
I love it now.

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.119
Musically, not good.

00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:50.400
But dude, I will say it right here.

00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:57.759
He is the only young, living, cool rock star that there is in on the planet right now.

00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:08.319
He's got the he's got the leather pants, the long hair, he's got the eyeliner, never has a shirt on, totally ripped, have the tattoos, music's no good.

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:09.200
That's the problem.

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:09.920
Turnstyle.

00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:11.920
He could be the now, no, Youngblood.

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:12.640
I don't know about turnstyle.

00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:15.119
I'm saying turnstile is what you need to listen to.

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:15.519
Really?

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:15.839
Yeah.

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:16.160
Okay.

00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:17.279
Shout out to Turnstyle.

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:21.920
I feel like this is the one genre that has been sucking for a long time.

00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:22.960
Like they need to come back.

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:25.119
Like, I feel like it's like it's been since the 90s.

00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:27.200
It I mean, literally has been since then.

00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:29.440
You'll get that feel with the turnstile album.

00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:32.160
It's more it's more like it's rock.

00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:34.240
Like it's but it's not like super heavy.

00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:34.559
Okay.

00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:35.759
They have melodic.

00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:38.400
They they started off as a hardcore band.

00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:38.640
Okay.

00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:40.640
So their earlier stuff is really heavy.

00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:41.440
Okay, I don't want that.

00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.119
And then this new stuff that they've been putting out is kind of more commercial.

00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:45.519
Okay.

00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:46.720
I think you would really like it.

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:48.640
I'm from Maryland, so I gotta you gotta shout him out.

00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:51.039
Okay, shout out to hit the next one.

00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:55.680
So I thought we'd end with dance stuff just because and I'm not familiar with this.

00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:58.160
I mean, I knew who FKA FKA Twist is.

00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:00.640
I think a lot of people in the dance community were upset about that.

00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:02.240
Well, I don't know that album.

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:03.440
Me neither.

00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:04.960
And then again, pop recording.

00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:06.880
I thought Abracadabra played it.

00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:09.519
They are on her balls.

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:11.519
I I barely played it.

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:13.519
I barely played that record, dude.

00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:13.920
Yeah.

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:14.640
Crazy.

00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:17.519
And then the the remix of it is the best remix.

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:18.559
Did you see that dude?

00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.680
Yeah, like weird, like weird heads.

00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:23.440
I I am not even familiar with that remix, sir.

00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:25.200
He's like a Dave Punk type of.

00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:27.039
Yeah, like a little head over his head.

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:28.319
Like a little helmet head.

00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:28.559
Yeah.

00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:29.440
You didn't see that?

00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:30.160
No, I didn't.

00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:30.799
It was weird.

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:31.440
Anyway.

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.240
Well, you want to talk about the uh Super Bowl?

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.039
Move on?

00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:36.160
Let's talk about it.

00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:37.119
Oh, did you wait?

00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:38.319
Don't play that one yet.

00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:38.720
Go back.

00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:40.240
Yeah, we'll just leave it there for right now.

00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:43.039
So let's just talk about uh the performance.

00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:43.440
Obviously.

00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:44.880
We're not gonna talk about the game.

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:46.000
Yeah, the game sucked.

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:47.119
It was shitty, I thought.

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:47.599
Yeah.

00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:51.359
But you know, everyone made a big deal about the the bad bunny performance.

00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:54.000
What was your take on it compared to other shows that you've seen?

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:57.440
I I I I mean, I was talking to Saquon when he got here today.

00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:57.920
I loved it.

00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:02.640
I thought I'm I'm gonna go stuff and I don't I don't listen to Bad Bunny.

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:05.599
I've told y'all before, I don't really get requests for Bad Bunny.

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:07.200
I actually loved it.

00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:27.119
And the more clips I see now, four days after the Super Bowl, and how proud people were, like they would just take the phone and set it beside the TV and like look at my mom's reaction to getting shouted out by Bad Bunny or Nicaragua, Ecuadorians, uh Dominicans.

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:29.359
Like, dude, that there people are crying and stuff.

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.880
Like the more I've clips I see, I'm like, damn, this dude really like.

00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:40.240
He spoke to uh uh underrepresented, did um underrepresented entire demographic on this show.

00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:59.759
And just the the references to and I've never been to Puerto Rico, I've been to Dominican Republic, I've been to Mexico, I've been to Haiti, I've been to uh uh Virgin Islands, like I've been to a lot of these places, I've never been to Puerto Rico, but I felt like he took every little thing that that he remembers and knows and loves about Puerto Rico and put them on that field.

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:05.920
And I think if you were there, it from what I saw, it looked so shitty because of those bushes and everything else.

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.880
But if you watch it on TV, he he painted a perfect Puerto Rican picture.

00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:11.359
Yeah.

00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:12.480
I loved it, man.

00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:19.440
I I really and I don't, and I've now for four days I'm riding around listening to Bad Bunny, not knowing a damn thing what he's saying.

00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:20.079
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:29.279
I'm just right, it dies uh and I'm just riding around listening for three days now, four days.

00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:30.240
I thought it was good.

00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:34.480
Uh I I wouldn't put it at the top of the ever of halftime shows.

00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:35.920
I wouldn't put it at the worst either.

00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:46.079
I but I always I'm always gonna go back to the people that I love when I really remember, even even like a prince or that's where I kind of like U2 or a Coldplay or even Michael Jackson.

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:55.359
I mean, uh you know, I remember so many other ones from the past 40 years of of you know memories, but I really, really liked him, man.

00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:58.960
The one thing I I loved was the A, the uh visuals.

00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:04.880
Yes, I felt like if if you're watching on TV, yes, they kind of made that halftime show for that, which they should 100%.

00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:05.440
You know what I mean?

00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:08.160
It's not 135 million versus 70,000.

00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:08.480
Right.

00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:10.640
Or whatever the visuals were incredible.

00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:18.000
The idea of bringing humans as plants out there, genius, yeah, you know, because they have to get those things off quick for like staging, basically.

00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:19.119
Yeah, they didn't ever move.

00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:20.079
Yeah, you know.

00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:21.279
Um, it was funny.

00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:22.960
I'll I'll post the picture because I just saw it today.

00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:24.640
I saw a bunch of people like that.

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:27.039
I mean, did you see this guy?

00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:29.200
Jeff Scott Gold.

00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:31.599
Yeah, I'll put it on the on the screen when I'm gonna go.

00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:32.240
That's great.

00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:35.119
Um, but uh yeah, that part of it was great.

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:36.160
I thought that whole thing.

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:40.640
My my only thing was there was so much hate going into it from the last two.

00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:41.839
Yeah, him and Kendrick.

00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.400
People feeling like I was super niche or whatever, right?

00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:56.880
And I just was hoping that they would go over the top with their performance to like shut everybody up, and I didn't feel like they either of them really did that to the level of what and I don't know what Saquon and I were kind of talking about that.

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:59.039
I thought this was very positive.

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:00.319
Oh, it was positive message.

00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:07.440
And I I was saying I felt like Kendrick was not negative, but it was serious, is what Saquon was.

00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:09.279
Tell me what you were saying earlier, Saquon.

00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:11.680
You you felt like Kendrick was he had to be serious.

00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:16.880
Yeah, at the time, yeah, I felt like he had to be serious, and that's just his thing.

00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:19.440
Well, and he had the whole beef with Drake going on at the time.

00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:28.079
You know, that he was coming off coming off of that, and the country is just you know, same thing with Bad Bunny, you know, he's doing this for the people, you know.

00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:32.799
Both had the same message, just different execution.

00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:33.359
Okay.

00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:34.319
That's what he was saying.

00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:35.200
And I kind of agree.

00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:36.799
It's always been about America.

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.200
Yeah.

00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.240
Getting the people together, like we're all American, no matter where you come from.

00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:40.559
Right.

00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.960
You know, yeah, the football at the end, yeah, together we're America, the signs in the stadium.

00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:48.319
You know, the only thing more powerful than hate is love.

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:51.599
Like, I felt like he he he did a good job.

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:56.079
The two weird parts to it was I didn't understand the Lady Gaga coming in.

00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:58.000
I don't know why she picked the Bruno song.

00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:00.319
I think we I think we know why that was.

00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:01.279
Maybe I don't know.

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:03.039
It was a little white interjection.

00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:03.839
Oh, is that what I think?

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:09.199
People were saying that what he was saying, that's people were saying what he was believing that for one.

00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:10.400
So this would do that.

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:11.360
This is what's going on.

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:12.800
I don't think he had a choice.

00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:13.599
Think about it.

00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.800
Everybody always has somebody interjected into their shit.

00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:19.119
People are saying that it was on purpose.

00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:20.719
He was what he was saying in Spanish.

00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:26.079
I don't speak Spanish, but whatever he was saying in Spanish before that was was like, bring out this, something, something.

00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:28.239
And it was like a like thing I'm.

00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:29.199
Why that song?

00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:30.000
I don't know why.

00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:30.719
Late the side.

00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:31.280
I don't know.

00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:32.159
Yeah, I don't know why.

00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:33.280
Sauce version.

00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:36.480
I don't understand why that really symbolism there.

00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:38.320
I didn't, I didn't need her in it.

00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:44.159
I was hoping because they started going to some of the older like Puerto Rican people, like Daddy Yankee.

00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:50.559
And I was like, I was hoping he'd bring out like those kind of artists that like or even somebody more iconic than that, or like old school.

00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:52.800
Yeah, like and I was like, bummer.

00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:54.960
I was kind of pretty great then.

00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:57.039
And at first I was like, why is he seems random?

00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:58.320
I didn't realize he was Puerto Rican.

00:34:58.400 --> 00:34:58.559
Yeah.

00:34:58.639 --> 00:34:59.599
So that was kind of makes sense to me.

00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:01.119
Dude, Ricky Martin is probably 60.

00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:02.159
That dude looks incredible.

00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:03.199
Yeah, totally.

00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:03.679
Yeah.

00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:07.679
So anything else then about the Super Bowl, not necessarily performance, anything, commercials.

00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:09.199
I mean, that was kind of lame as well.

00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:13.599
The Benson Boone and Ben Stiller thing was the only thing that truly made me chuckle.

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:19.920
I thought the one that was hilarious to me was the um the Bitcoin by Coinbase.

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:24.239
It was basically like uh just something that you were like you were glued to see what it was.

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:26.320
Yeah, it was just words, yes, yeah.

00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:27.519
And you're like, what is this?

00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:29.280
And then at the end it said Coinbase or whatever.

00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:30.880
That was the only thing that was kind of in there.

00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:34.480
I was more glued into like the things that you didn't see at the Super Bowl.

00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.239
Uh the first one was like the pre-party.

00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:37.360
Did you see the DJ?

00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:38.159
What happened to him?

00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:38.559
No.

00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:39.920
Uh roll this clip.

00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:40.719
Oh no.

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:42.559
Speakers just went out here.

00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:44.400
Speakers keep going out.

00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:46.320
I feel really bad, but this is really bad.

00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:46.960
Look at that dude.

00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:51.920
So Shaq's up there, not I'd guess not knowing, because he seems like he's still like jamming to it.

00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:52.960
Oh no, no, it's T Pain.

00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:53.599
Oh, C Pain.

00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:54.639
It's Shaq's party, right?

00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:55.920
But T Pain was DJing.

00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:56.800
Yes, all that.

00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:59.119
And he must have in ear to speak.

00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:01.360
The speakers are fully out.

00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:02.239
Nobody telling you?

00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:03.920
Like, how does nobody tell him?

00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:05.360
How do you not know that?

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:05.840
Right.

00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:07.920
And how does that even happen at a show like this?

00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:09.840
Like, Shaq's got the money to put it together.

00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:10.639
Absolutely.

00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:13.039
That's a major freaking look how many people are there.

00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:13.679
I know.

00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:17.679
And then the other one that I loved was uh shown on TV, but this was hilarious.

00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:19.760
The streaker they cut away from it.

00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:21.440
Did you see that receiver?

00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:23.840
Great advertising on his back, by the way.

00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:24.880
Yeah, what is it for?

00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:26.239
It's like some trading platform.

00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:26.880
Who knows?

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:27.840
But he's just taking off.

00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:28.880
Have you seen his thing?

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:30.320
He had on the meta glasses.

00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:31.119
Have you seen his video?

00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:31.679
Oh no.

00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:35.519
The streakers got the video of him, like he it shows him standing at the wall.

00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:36.719
He starts hitting record.

00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:38.960
He one guy jumps and gets tackled.

00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:40.239
So it was a diversion.

00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:40.719
Yeah.

00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:43.840
Then he jumps and he's, I mean, that dude is ripped too, by the way.

00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:46.639
And he's like, we gotta, you gotta.

00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:49.599
But like if you're gonna streak, you gotta, you gotta pull your dong out.

00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:51.119
Like, I feel like you gotta go negative.

00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:58.079
Well, I mean, you can't do that because there's kids in this, so then you ain't trying to get a decent exposure charge.

00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:59.199
How about draws though?

00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:00.639
Like, he's got on track pants.

00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:01.920
I feel like they can reach and probably.

00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:03.840
Well, and you gotta have cleats dick out.

00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:06.960
No, I'm just saying, like, they can reach and be like, oh, you trying to be nude?

00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:08.079
Like, it's kids around.

00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:08.880
You can't, you know what I mean?

00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:10.079
Like a shirt office, okay.

00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:14.400
You gotta have like you gotta have cleats because you can't do this in tennis.

00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:15.199
I don't cleats.

00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:15.920
No, you need to.

00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:16.320
Oh, okay.

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:17.360
Because that's why he slipped.

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:18.000
Yeah, right.

00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:18.480
You know?

00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:21.119
But do you think that the company, this was a question I have.

00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:26.960
Do you think the quet the company would have paid his ticket to get there and his fine or whatever he had to pay because of the average?

00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:28.559
Yeah.

00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:32.000
I mean, you're spending 20 grand to go be a streaker for what?

00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:33.360
Well, I'm just hearing different stories.

00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:34.480
It's also a bet.

00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:37.039
Like they're using that call call sheet, kalashi.

00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:39.119
I think you I th I heard it was a bet.

00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:39.920
And it was a bet going.

00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:44.400
But he bet everything he had that there would be a streaker at the Super Bowl.

00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:45.360
No, he couldn't bet.

00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:48.880
He somebody else bet for because you can't, that's illegal.

00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.159
The first time, after he did it the first time, because he's the same guy.

00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:53.840
Yeah, this happened at a different Super Bowl.

00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:54.320
Same, dude.

00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:55.119
Same guy.

00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:55.440
Wow.

00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:59.440
He they bet and then he won all that money and bailed himself out.

00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:04.239
Then the second time they did the bet, he couldn't be the one streaking.

00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:07.440
So he well, he couldn't be the one to, you know what I mean?

00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:08.800
Yeah, he placed the bet on himself.

00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:10.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:11.360
That's crazy.

00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:12.559
That's crazy.

00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:13.920
Anything else you want to add about this?

00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:14.719
Nah, man.

00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:16.880
I feel bad for Drake May.

00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:19.519
I love he's a Tar Heel man, and he just he didn't play well.

00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:21.440
No, well, allegedly was injured.

00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:22.159
Who knows?

00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:22.400
Yeah.

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:23.280
Well, let's hit the gear corner.

00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:24.239
Shout out Sam Darnold.

00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:27.280
Shout out uh the Vikings for being dumb enough to let Sam Darnold go.

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:29.280
Shout out the Panthers for letting him go.

00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:30.480
Shout out USC.

00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:32.159
Shout out the Jets for shitting on him.

00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:33.039
Love my Trojans.

00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:33.280
Yeah.

00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:33.840
Is that where you play?

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:34.480
Yeah, USC.

00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:35.360
Shout out Sam Darnold.

00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:35.840
There you go.

00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:36.079
All right.

00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:37.280
Let's hit the gear corner.

00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:37.679
Okay.

00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:40.079
The gear's here.

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:43.519
The gear.

00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:44.559
The gear is here.

00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:45.039
He is here.

00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:45.599
He is here.

00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:46.079
He is here.

00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:46.559
He is here.

00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:47.039
He is here.

00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:47.519
He is here.

00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:53.440
So this is a future gear corner update that you might be not aware of.

00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:54.800
This just literally came out last night.

00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:55.199
Okay.

00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:56.559
Hit this slide.

00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:02.159
Dude, Southwest is bringing free Starlink.

00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:05.280
Which, if you've never done it, it's crazy fast.

00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:06.239
Like Google fast?

00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:06.880
Like Google fast?

00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:07.920
Yes.

00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:08.639
On a plane.

00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:09.440
On a plane.

00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:10.719
Uploading files.

00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:14.719
So this is going to be happening end of 2026.

00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:17.840
And I think all of the other airlines are going to have to follow suitcase.

00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:18.159
Absolutely.

00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:19.119
There's no way.

00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:20.559
A being free.

00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:22.639
And B being that fast.

00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:23.280
Damn.

00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:25.519
That's Elon Musk's product.

00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:30.559
So if you are a Southwest Airlines flyer, just know you're getting.

00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:32.639
You saw they ripped all the podiums down, right?

00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:34.639
They don't do the the Oh, yeah, they don't do that anymore.

00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:36.800
I've got a flight coming up on them soon.

00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:42.639
So I saw some some lady was at the airport the other day filming them taking those little podium things up where you used to stand.

00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:42.880
Yeah.

00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:44.000
They don't have those anymore.

00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:44.480
No more groups.

00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:48.000
You know, Southwest was you boarded by group.

00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:49.360
You didn't have a seat number.

00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:49.760
Oh.

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:54.320
So you would check in, and you know, wherever you checked in was kind of where your group was.

00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:57.360
So they go group five and then, you know, blah, blah, blah.

00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:00.639
And now they have seat numbers just like a regular air aircraft.

00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:02.800
But normally when you would just check in, you would get in a group.

00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:04.719
You sit anywhere you want to sit anywhere you want.

00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:05.679
Oh, wow.

00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:10.480
The last thing about the gear, um, I wanted to share actually a thing here.

00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:12.079
These are not, these are clean.

00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:13.760
By the way, I thought they were underwear.

00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:14.800
I'm like, no.

00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:16.800
These are, and I don't know if you're familiar with them.

00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:18.239
Oh, pressure sucks.

00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:19.840
Yeah, you do wear these on the long flights.

00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:20.559
Long you haul.

00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:22.400
You know I'm going to Australia this year.

00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:24.480
So these things are super long.

00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:27.119
My wife just got back from going to Argentina.

00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:27.599
Tolerance.

00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:28.960
I know.

00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:31.840
She did not take the ones that I told her to get.

00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:32.559
She went online.

00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:36.559
And the reason why I'm bringing it up is that she bought some imposters.

00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:44.480
And apparently, what happens, what they're supposed to do is keep your legs from swelling up on long flights because the air compression and all that kind of stuff can jack.

00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:49.840
I mean, all your joints, your rings, anything on you is going to stay uh tight because it's everything's puffed.

00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:50.960
I've never noticed this.

00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:54.000
I mean, technically, I don't go on many long flights, but right.

00:40:54.239 --> 00:41:00.079
So this contracts it all, but because of I guess the microfibers, like you're not even supposed to wash these.

00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:06.719
Like there's a special process for cleaning them so that they don't lose that connectivity or whatever to your body.

00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:10.400
Well, she bought another one and on the whole plane, she was totally fine.

00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:12.960
But then when she got off, she ballooned up.

00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:13.440
No.

00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:14.000
Yeah.

00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:16.000
So you have to watch out for which ones to get.

00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:19.760
So on the gear uh thing, I will put the link for the right one to get.

00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:20.000
Okay.

00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:21.599
Any idea on what these cost?

00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:23.199
Oh, they're probably expensive.

00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:24.400
Are they$39?

00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:25.679
$24.99.

00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:25.920
Okay.

00:41:26.079 --> 00:41:26.800
So not terrible.

00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:27.119
Yeah.

00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:33.679
But if you're going abroad or you're going anywhere from like East Coast to West Coast, you just literally crank those things up to your damn knee.

00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:33.920
Yeah.

00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:34.239
Totally.

00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:35.039
Wow, it's a good idea.

00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:35.760
And you need to go that.

00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:36.000
Yeah.

00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:38.880
You're not wanting any fashion shows with that.

00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:40.800
Rock some shorts with those.

00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:41.280
Yeah.

00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:42.320
Been a while.

00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:43.599
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:44.000
Some shorts.

00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:45.199
Put on bearing Georgia.

00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:46.480
Oh shit, boy.

00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:47.280
You can't tell me no.

00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:53.760
You better stop fucking with him.

00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:54.639
Oh my god.

00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:55.519
Styling.

00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:56.639
Let's hit the question.

00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:58.639
Question of the day.

00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:04.239
Oh.

00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:05.280
Okay.

00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:07.280
Our boy, Lauren Miller.

00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:09.519
Hey, shout out Lauren Miller.

00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:12.639
Um, first time speaking at the Pittsburgh DJ Summit.

00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:13.679
Did an outstanding job.

00:42:13.840 --> 00:42:14.000
Really?

00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:14.400
Yeah.

00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:15.199
Outstanding job.

00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:16.639
He has a great voice.

00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:17.760
Very soothing.

00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:18.639
Go ahead and read it.

00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:21.519
With Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl halftime show.

00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:24.000
I'm expecting a rise in Bad Bunny requests.

00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:25.840
However, I'm really gun shy.

00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:34.880
Not only does Bad Bunny now come with political overtones, but Bad Bunny always falls flat here in Ohio, except one time when half the guests were from Miami.

00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:36.880
Would love some guidance here.

00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:40.880
Um yeah, that's a great question.

00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:51.360
Um I mean, I'm more on the lean on the side of arts art, and I don't really get into the political side of things for unless the client brings it up to me.

00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:52.000
Same.

00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:52.480
Same.

00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:56.559
And I'm gonna err on the side of most people don't speak Spanish.

00:42:56.719 --> 00:42:57.039
Right.

00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:01.519
And at the end of the day, it's just it's still good booty shaking music.

00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:07.119
Now, I'm also going to err on the side of whatever the most popular ones are.

00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:07.679
Oh, of course.

00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.400
I'm not pulling out random B sides songs.

00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:12.639
T T me pregunto.

00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:17.039
Um uh the new.

00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:25.440
And I I guess to kind of put a bow on the whole episode a little bit, like from the Grammys to this, I don't think this moves the needle much.

00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:28.159
Like their performances, those, especially those awards.

00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:32.880
Like, are you gonna see an increase in and song selection from the Grammys?

00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:35.519
Those songs are like a year and a half plus old.

00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:37.679
I I'll be honest with you, also, man.

00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:44.559
I believe genuinely that the MPV awards, Grammys, stuff like that do not have many years left.

00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:44.960
I agree.

00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:48.000
As a television entity, unless they put more performances.

00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:51.920
I went, let's just say I went to six places the day after the Grammys.

00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:53.440
I started at the coffee shop.

00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:55.199
I went to a workout.

00:43:55.280 --> 00:44:00.559
I I don't most of the time I'm here by myself, so I don't talk to many people, but when I go out to look Lunch or whatever.

00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:02.559
Oh hey, didn't you watch the Grammys last night?

00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:06.159
I did not speak to one person, not one.

00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:06.480
Yeah.

00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:08.000
And even then yesterday I was in the Uber.

00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:09.280
I said, What'd you think about the game?

00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:13.199
The guy, probably 30-year-old black guy, he was like, I didn't watch it.

00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:14.800
The Super Bowl.

00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:15.119
Right.

00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:16.639
I was like, Did you watch halftime?

00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:17.119
Nah.

00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:17.840
Yeah.

00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:27.119
I just think that some things that we used to be like synonymous with with the whole world is watching, I think uh no longer happening.

00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:28.480
Did you watch the Grammys?

00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:29.119
No.

00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:32.800
I think uh I think what was going on in the world.

00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:33.679
Hold on one second.

00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:34.960
Did you watch the Grammys?

00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:35.840
Like actually watching.

00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:36.480
I did.

00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:38.239
I just no no no.

00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:39.039
I like I was.

00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:40.639
I thought you were playing or something.

00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:46.719
No, I was I was putting my kid down and then I went back to the bedroom and we're watching TV and I just happened to see it was on.

00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:48.079
And then I started watching it.

00:44:48.159 --> 00:44:49.119
Like I didn't get promoted.

00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:49.760
Sorry to interrupt.

00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:50.719
No, you could.

00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:52.800
It's just so many things going on in the world.

00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:53.360
Right.

00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:56.719
And people are just kind of seeing things for how they are.

00:44:56.800 --> 00:45:09.760
And how could we like uh I enjoy this celebration of these celebrities and then not really speaking on what's going on in the world, it's like a false like reality almost.

00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:10.239
Okay.

00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:12.960
So I think a lot of people feel that way.

00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:13.440
Right.

00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:14.960
Uh they may not be saying that.

00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:15.519
Right.

00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:18.320
But just I mean, here's my take.

00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:19.280
You know what I mean?

00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:19.679
Yeah.

00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:24.719
I feel like with the ease of getting music these days, or the clips after.

00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:25.199
Yeah.

00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:30.960
But just like I'm talking about getting these songs requested as a DJ or seeing them pop off.

00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:32.000
Bad of the question.

00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:33.280
We jumped off the question, right?

00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:37.360
Like, I don't think back in the day when you had to buy the album, you only heard it on the radio.

00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:40.960
You couldn't just listen and test out music on Spotify.

00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:41.280
Right.

00:45:41.519 --> 00:45:42.639
You would see those pops.

00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:46.559
But now I can listen to, I can go into those albums and go check real quick to see if it's worth it.

00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:48.159
And if it's good, I'll check it out.

00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:49.599
If I don't like it, I'll move on.

00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:56.239
I don't think they have as much power as they used to have in turning people on to new artists or whatever like they used to.

00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:56.960
You're right.

00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:00.320
But back to his question, I think you just roll with it.

00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:00.719
Yeah.

00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:11.039
And I and also going back to what Saquon was saying and what you were saying, I also think in the world of everything is clipped up by midnight that night, I was already seeing clips from the grand.

00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:13.119
So do I want to spend four hours?

00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:14.239
It was a four-hour show.

00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:21.920
Maybe four and a half of my life watching this show, or do I just want to open the Instagram and go, shitty, shitty, shitty.

00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:22.880
Oh, that looks cool.

00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:23.119
Yeah.

00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:24.800
Like it's already clipped up by midnight.

00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:28.719
So I know we're going long, but I have to say, what about Justin, the Beebs?

00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:30.239
That was bold, dude.

00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:31.119
I loved it.

00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:31.679
Uh again.

00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:32.000
Yeah.

00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:38.960
I mean, you're gonna walk out there in your drawers and socks and have one guitar and a loot pedal and close your eyes the whole time.

00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:40.639
But dude, he sold it.

00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:43.679
I mean, I I thought it I loved it, man.

00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:44.960
Was there any symbolism there?

00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:46.800
I'm trying to figure out like why did he do that?

00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:51.440
I I just I think it was just like, I'm gonna do whatever the fuck I want, man.

00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:54.960
And the the the industry's been so shitty to me, and I've been abused.

00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:56.079
I think that's what it is.

00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:59.360
He's just being metaphorically naked.

00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.480
Yeah, or maybe I even fuck this is how I wrote the song.

00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:06.639
I was sitting in my house chilling with my wife, and I was just sitting on the couch.

00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:07.760
She made my drones.

00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:09.280
Good.

00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:10.400
I don't know, dude.

00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:13.119
I was kind of mesmerized by it, and I thought he kind of crushed it.

00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:14.480
Oh, he did crush it for sure.

00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:15.440
I don't know, man.

00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:16.159
Shout out Bieber.

00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:17.119
Shout out Bieber.

00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:18.480
Well, let's thank our sponsor.

00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:20.559
Yeah, shout out DJ Event Planner.

00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:30.719
Uh, this is the CRM, Brian and I, and many DJs around the world use to take control of their business and to keep track of their leads and to follow up and to even do some planning.

00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:35.599
So, shout out to DJ Event Planner for sponsoring the podcast for another year, I guess.

00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:36.159
Yep.

00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:37.920
Thank you guys for watching as well.

00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:41.840
New videos, new podcasts every single Wednesday.

00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:42.480
