WEBVTT
00:00:22.914 --> 00:00:23.734
what's up everybody.
00:00:23.734 --> 00:00:26.996
Welcome back to beyond the DJ Booth Podcast.
00:00:26.996 --> 00:00:29.064
I'm Brian B and Joe Bunn.
00:00:29.425 --> 00:00:30.047
Batch Day.
00:00:30.047 --> 00:00:31.682
It's Batch Day.
00:00:31.682 --> 00:00:33.046
It's Batch Day.
00:00:33.046 --> 00:00:34.831
Everybody loves Batch.
00:00:34.911 --> 00:00:40.090
Day, and we say that because if there's anything current that happens there's been a lot that's happened which we're going to talk about during these batch recordings.
00:00:40.090 --> 00:00:41.353
That are not current events Now, they're in the past.
00:00:41.353 --> 00:00:43.436
So if anything new comes out, we probably aren't going to be able during these batched recordings.
00:00:43.436 --> 00:00:45.462
That are not current events now, they're in the past.
00:00:45.462 --> 00:00:48.317
So if anything new comes out, we probably aren't going to be able to comment on it.
00:00:48.838 --> 00:00:58.786
We really don't comment on pop culture that's true politics, anything, current events anyway, I guess it would have to be like major celebrities dying, which we did have.
00:00:58.786 --> 00:01:01.101
That run of three people, geez craziness.
00:01:01.101 --> 00:01:04.730
Ozzy, malcolm, jamal warner, and then, oh, the Hulkster.
00:01:04.891 --> 00:01:05.513
Oh the Hulkster.
00:01:05.513 --> 00:01:08.561
Yeah, that's right it happens in three Crazy how that happens, you think, me.
00:01:08.602 --> 00:01:11.411
You and Saquon die within a few days of each other.
00:01:11.411 --> 00:01:12.584
I don't even want to think about it.
00:01:13.602 --> 00:01:18.322
It's too dark for me, too dark, all right, so our unofficial producer of the podcast.
00:01:18.322 --> 00:01:25.552
Richie Stedman gave us our opener for today's episode, so let me present you with this, would you rather?
00:01:25.813 --> 00:01:28.316
Okay, give us another one of those scenarios Would you rather, is tough.
00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:34.683
So here's scenario A Would you rather a gatekeeping wedding planner?
00:01:34.683 --> 00:01:40.462
First time you talk to the bride and groom is when you arrive the day of, or having to plan with the bride and groom and the bride's mom.
00:01:40.584 --> 00:01:45.993
and groom's mom don't agree, oh easy Gatekeeper, gatekeeping planner on this one.
00:01:45.993 --> 00:01:46.500
Why?
00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:59.156
Because I still know that, no matter if I got the timeline on the day of and I meet the couple and shake their hand the first time the day of, I can still pull off a great event.
00:01:59.156 --> 00:02:13.629
If I'm having to be some sort of a mediator, I guess, between these two moms that are, you know, bickering about the timeline, or you know how long the first dance should be, or the parent dances should be, or if they're doing a cake cutting or not doing a cake cutting.
00:02:13.629 --> 00:02:15.447
I just don't want to deal with that bullshit.
00:02:15.447 --> 00:02:17.919
I'm the same and neither of them know what they're doing.
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.930
At least a wedding planner will always know.
00:02:20.930 --> 00:02:27.300
Even a pseudo professional only done a few weddings, knows what a timeline should look like.
00:02:27.602 --> 00:02:28.945
Same answer Same answer.
00:02:28.945 --> 00:02:30.790
I'd say different reasons.
00:02:30.790 --> 00:02:39.961
One earlier in my career I probably would have fought against that planner and been like my way is this way, just being young and stupid.
00:02:39.961 --> 00:02:47.174
But I think now I feel like I can win them over, even if they're wanting to run the whole show, be the point person.
00:02:47.174 --> 00:02:49.319
Whatever, I think I can overcome it Now.
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:50.405
Would I work with them again?
00:02:50.405 --> 00:02:51.188
Probably not.
00:02:51.430 --> 00:02:55.872
Yeah, you know you're like I think I'm going to move on to another planning service or whatever.
00:02:55.872 --> 00:03:00.647
Or be at least aware that that's what's going to happen, because that's probably not a one-time thing.
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.664
It's probably something that they've done that they do yeah, that they think is right.
00:03:03.905 --> 00:03:06.931
But the mom situation oh, I've had that happen.
00:03:06.931 --> 00:03:09.474
Have you ever had that happen where you've had to be the intermediary?
00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:40.146
Not in that particular scenario, but I've definitely had to been in between people before, and I mean it just happened to us, you know, maybe two, three months ago, at a wedding where you know toast were over and this kind of I think I spoke about it on this you know, kind of drunk mom yeah, yeah came up and was like give me the mic, it's my turn now and I'm like looking at the schedule and then, like luckily, her daughter or the bride and maybe the planner came and kind of pulled her away and was like
00:03:40.187 --> 00:03:49.126
no, no, no, mom, you're not doing that tonight like I had one where it wasn't the two moms going against each other, it was the bride and her mom.
00:03:49.126 --> 00:03:51.604
Oh, which is always tricky.
00:03:51.604 --> 00:03:52.627
I've definitely been there.
00:03:52.627 --> 00:03:53.389
That's tough.
00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:59.191
There was an ethnic wedding and I remember the bride wanted a little bit more current American music.
00:03:59.191 --> 00:04:04.688
The bride's mom wanted all the ethnic music and we talked about it during the call.
00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:05.133
Yeah, yeah.
00:04:05.046 --> 00:04:06.020
Bride's wanted all the ethnic music and we talked about it during the call.
00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:09.512
Yeah, yeah, bride's like listen, my mom might come up, but just stick to the plan.
00:04:09.512 --> 00:04:09.953
Right?
00:04:09.953 --> 00:04:11.514
But it's still tough, you know.
00:04:11.514 --> 00:04:19.769
She comes up, asks for a song, I insert it, but then she wants 10 more yeah, right, right and so I said hey, listen, your daughter really wanted a well-rounded mix.
00:04:20.192 --> 00:04:21.437
I'll fit those other ones in.
00:04:21.437 --> 00:04:25.870
I'm gonna do my best, but I can't do them all in one big set, right.
00:04:25.870 --> 00:04:32.146
And so she literally goes to her seat and is just mean mugging me the entire time, and it's just like a deflator.
00:04:32.540 --> 00:04:34.326
You know like it kills your vibe.
00:04:34.326 --> 00:04:37.389
It makes you second guess every song you're playing, right.
00:04:37.389 --> 00:04:43.853
And then I think the worst is when I've been in that scenario, they pulled the don't forget who's paying card.
00:04:43.853 --> 00:04:45.922
I've been in that scenario.
00:04:45.922 --> 00:04:46.863
They pulled the don't forget who's paying card.
00:04:46.863 --> 00:04:47.906
That is just the nastiest card you can pull.
00:04:47.906 --> 00:04:49.269
I'm still going to err on the side of the bride.
00:04:49.269 --> 00:04:51.122
At the end of the day, it's still the bride's wedding.
00:04:51.122 --> 00:04:53.769
I've already been paid to be completely fair with you.
00:04:53.990 --> 00:04:58.528
Maybe my tip suffers, maybe my review suffers, but I'm going for the bride.
00:04:58.528 --> 00:05:00.252
It's her freaking wedding.
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:07.725
Actually now I don't really bring that particular scenario up, but I do ask on the call I'm like, hey, oh yeah, are there any gatekeepers?
00:05:07.725 --> 00:05:11.059
In your family that may come up, may request something.
00:05:11.059 --> 00:05:20.600
How do you want me to handle it so that that way we've had the discussion so that like the night of I'm not trying to like deal with it for the very first time we've got at least a somewhat of a plan going into it?
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.002
Yeah, but I gotta be honest, I don't really deal with that much anymore.
00:05:23.283 --> 00:05:23.803
Me neither man.
00:05:23.843 --> 00:05:25.805
I can't remember the last time that's happened Again.
00:05:26.146 --> 00:05:35.855
As you increase your price, you phase yourself out of a lot of drama Family drama, class of people, bad venues, bad, you know everything.
00:05:35.855 --> 00:05:41.146
As your price goes up, you deal with very few of these broadzilla type thing.
00:05:41.447 --> 00:05:41.869
I would agree.
00:05:48.220 --> 00:05:54.509
Let's move into the gear corner, gear corner, the gear's here the gear is here, is here.
00:05:54.529 --> 00:06:01.526
So good, shout out to saquon on that one so quick question uh, have you heard about the new apple update that's coming in the fall?
00:06:01.526 --> 00:06:04.704
I don't think so, okay so one of them is the airp.
00:06:04.704 --> 00:06:13.091
There's a mode on there where, if you are in another country, we may have talked about this on this pod before or maybe just off the record but, literally in your ear.
00:06:13.091 --> 00:06:14.377
It can translate.
00:06:14.677 --> 00:06:17.305
If somebody's talking to you, yeah, and you can hear what's happening.
00:06:17.345 --> 00:06:21.302
Yeah, and I saw some people debating about it, how it could be good and bad.
00:06:21.302 --> 00:06:23.225
I mean, obviously, if you're in a different country, it's amazing.
00:06:23.425 --> 00:06:41.122
you know, at the nail salon it's gonna be bad right right, right right right, right, because you know those women be talking about my feet like this nasty white boy yeah, but then they were also saying how, like, culturally a great thing again if you're in a different country, but a bad thing because why do you need to learn a new language now?
00:06:41.122 --> 00:06:42.886
It's all translated in your ear.
00:06:42.886 --> 00:06:44.067
It's kind of like the ai thing.
00:06:44.067 --> 00:06:45.771
It's kind of dumbing you down in a sense.
00:06:45.771 --> 00:06:49.043
Unless you really want to be a purist and learn the language, why do you need to?
00:06:49.264 --> 00:06:52.940
it's all going to be translated for you yeah, but I mean, how do you talk back?
00:06:52.961 --> 00:07:00.685
well, that leads to the gear corner not my feet are not nasty yeah, that leads us to today's gear corner okay segment, all right.
00:07:00.685 --> 00:07:04.353
So I saw this on amazon and I had to try it.
00:07:04.353 --> 00:07:07.841
So they've come out with some translating earbuds.
00:07:07.841 --> 00:07:13.824
Okay, already, okay, but it can also be used for music and all the other things sure so I had to test it.
00:07:13.824 --> 00:07:24.490
I actually went to my chinese acupressure spot, the other day foot massage, foot massage, okay, and put these bad boys on listen, wait, hold on.
00:07:24.512 --> 00:07:25.795
Did you tell them you were?
00:07:25.795 --> 00:07:29.771
No, of course not, and they're just speaking to each other, yeah, while they're working on your feet.
00:07:29.771 --> 00:07:35.791
Oh, totally okay, this works no freaking way there's an app to it as well what were they?
00:07:35.851 --> 00:07:36.613
saying so.
00:07:36.613 --> 00:07:39.927
The problem was this place is kind of noisy.
00:07:39.927 --> 00:07:47.788
No, it's not that's the problem so picking up some of the when they're really like the, the nail salon, the main nail salon like you would go to normally they're talking loud.
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.670
But in this one it's more of a quiet environment.
00:07:50.670 --> 00:07:57.988
So it was kind of picking up some of this stuff, like I could hear them talking about somebody else Going this guy's angry, or whatever the case may be.
00:07:57.988 --> 00:08:00.709
Anyway, I wanted to show you how this works.
00:08:00.709 --> 00:08:08.966
I actually have google translated a couple of sentences in chinese which we're gonna play.
00:08:08.966 --> 00:08:11.295
Okay, I'm gonna have you put these on, okay, and I'm gonna show you.
00:08:11.334 --> 00:08:13.805
You're gonna play the the audio in chinese.
00:08:13.925 --> 00:08:16.651
Yes, okay and you're gonna be able to hear what they're saying.
00:08:16.732 --> 00:08:18.524
I don't think chinese is a language you don't.
00:08:18.524 --> 00:08:21.252
I mean, I thought they had like a bunch of different mandarin.
00:08:21.252 --> 00:08:25.492
Well, they have a bunch of different dialects, okay, but it's technically that, so let me show you, how this works actually.
00:08:25.492 --> 00:08:28.223
I mean, I know it's a Do you want to make sure?
00:08:28.223 --> 00:08:29.247
Forgive my ignorance.
00:08:29.588 --> 00:08:30.310
You know what I'm saying?
00:08:30.310 --> 00:08:31.333
Yeah, put it on Bluetooth.
00:08:31.333 --> 00:08:33.969
I do like this because it does wrap around the ear.
00:08:33.969 --> 00:08:35.404
Hey, I've got them on.
00:08:43.125 --> 00:08:45.408
There's no way this works.
00:08:45.408 --> 00:08:47.929
Why don't Joe knows what this person's saying?
00:08:48.230 --> 00:08:49.191
Any idea what they're saying?
00:08:49.191 --> 00:08:56.736
No, okay, so you're going to use this app called Say Me and it's going to be on headphone and phone mode.
00:08:56.736 --> 00:09:02.006
You're going to click that button, okay, when you hit it, then have Saquon hit play.
00:09:02.447 --> 00:09:03.109
Okay, go ahead.
00:09:03.109 --> 00:09:14.166
This guy's toes are so dirty I don't want to touch his bunions.
00:09:17.130 --> 00:09:22.556
And it tells you when you're here, right, you're not even having to read it, so does it sound like an American Just like a computerized voice.
00:09:22.736 --> 00:09:23.900
Oh, okay, like Microsoft.
00:09:24.090 --> 00:09:25.998
So go with number two when Joe's ready.
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:30.740
All right.
00:09:41.890 --> 00:09:45.518
Oh my God, this guy looks exactly like the guy in the made ham commercials.
00:09:45.518 --> 00:09:46.220
Do I want his autograph?
00:09:46.220 --> 00:09:47.282
It says made ham instead of mayhem.
00:09:47.302 --> 00:09:47.942
Okay, we got one more.
00:09:47.942 --> 00:09:51.210
Your only podcast you should listen to is Beyond the DJ Booth.
00:09:51.210 --> 00:09:57.643
These guys look handsome, smart and the best DJs.
00:09:58.029 --> 00:09:59.154
This one kind of messed up.
00:09:59.154 --> 00:10:04.721
The only podcast you should listen to is Spin and DJ Boss.
00:10:04.721 --> 00:10:08.660
These guys are handsome, smart and the best DJs.
00:10:10.711 --> 00:10:12.538
Isn't that crazy though, dude, that's nuts.
00:10:12.538 --> 00:10:16.600
So if you click on the Chinese one, there's like a million languages at the top.
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:17.886
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:17.886 --> 00:10:19.998
So I mean it could be wherever you want.
00:10:20.129 --> 00:10:22.138
That's unbelievable dude, isn't that insane?
00:10:22.138 --> 00:10:25.759
And is there like a delay in between it talking?
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:26.421
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:26.850 --> 00:10:30.873
There's maybe one second Okay delay in between it talking.
00:10:30.873 --> 00:10:31.856
Yeah, yeah, there's maybe one second okay.
00:10:31.856 --> 00:10:35.870
And then she basically it types it out on the screen if you're using the app and then a couple seconds later it says it in your ear.
00:10:35.870 --> 00:10:41.722
Okay, with like a computerized voice in english wow, so price.
00:10:41.802 --> 00:10:44.152
What do you think it's on amazon?
00:10:44.332 --> 00:11:03.820
okay, 69 bro, way less 29, 26.99 on amazon, and like they sound good right yeah, I mean, you can just use them for they're almost over your ear because it looks like the outside of it is the mic that's listening to the people and the inside is what's playing it back in your ear.
00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:06.820
So they don't even really go inside your ear hole, right?
00:11:07.221 --> 00:11:11.078
but they sound fine can you imagine what this is going to be like once you get you?
00:11:11.099 --> 00:11:15.033
know, yeah, people are going to get lazy dude, it is very dialed.
00:11:15.033 --> 00:11:21.153
It's pretty cool yeah no, it's dialed in like a whole classroom full of kids with these things, you know.
00:11:21.153 --> 00:11:24.880
I mean like maybe it could help teach them easier maybe.
00:11:25.383 --> 00:11:28.042
How did you get the chinese voice to say those things?
00:11:28.182 --> 00:11:31.695
google translate oh, I got you okay those meta ai glasses do it too.
00:11:31.956 --> 00:11:34.160
Really, yeah, they have a translate feature.
00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:37.336
I've never tried it and now I've ended up giving them away to colin.
00:11:37.336 --> 00:11:39.522
But yeah, or he stole them from me when?
00:11:39.542 --> 00:11:45.490
well, if you want to wait until october, they'll be in the airpods, uh coming then crazy, I gotta get a new set anyway.
00:11:45.571 --> 00:11:46.173
I'm overdue.
00:11:46.173 --> 00:11:47.576
Dj's real talk.
00:11:47.576 --> 00:11:54.220
Are you tired of trying to figure out the DJ business alone, struggling with pricing, bookings or just how to stand out?
00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:57.139

All right, what else so?
00:12:22.691 --> 00:12:27.913
I had an event this past week out in the mountains of Asheville, Right I remember?
00:12:27.952 --> 00:12:35.854
yeah, this was at the omni grove and then parlayed it into a family uh mountain trip, it was great nice dude, I did tubing for the first time you ever done that?
00:12:35.874 --> 00:12:37.499
of course I've never done that.
00:12:37.499 --> 00:12:40.881
I think I'm turning into a lake guy like a mountain guy I'm like what is happening.
00:12:40.881 --> 00:12:41.725
I hate nature.
00:12:41.927 --> 00:12:44.214
I'm usually like that fantasy lake place.
00:12:44.214 --> 00:12:46.558
Here the jumpy house is on the water.
00:12:46.678 --> 00:12:48.201
It's crazy but the gig.
00:12:48.201 --> 00:12:54.350
I wanted to talk to you about the gig okay so I won't burn them here, but let's just say that this company has a lot of revenue.
00:12:54.350 --> 00:12:57.261
They do about 17 billion dollars in revenue.
00:12:57.341 --> 00:13:02.086
Okay, so they call me up and I thought they call you direct or they came through an agent, came through an email.
00:13:02.086 --> 00:13:07.096
Somebody emailed directly, directly, and that's why I thought it was fake I was like that doesn't really that doesn't really happen.
00:13:07.177 --> 00:13:08.860
Yeah, not with this kind of a company.
00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:10.383
So is this just like some rando?
00:13:10.383 --> 00:13:11.504
No, this was a legit.
00:13:11.610 --> 00:13:17.130
I had her set up a zoom she set it up and come to find out, and I say this because I think this is a learning tip for folks.
00:13:17.130 --> 00:13:22.196
This was somebody who worked for the company and they had seen me.
00:13:22.196 --> 00:13:24.418
They were a guest at a wedding I had done.
00:13:24.418 --> 00:13:26.399
They were looking for a DJ.
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.244
They didn't have a huge budget, which is crazy considering they do 17 billion in revenue.
00:13:30.244 --> 00:13:40.188
Right, they have 65 offices around the world and this specific office is based in Atlanta and they were having a celebratory retreat, or yeah, yeah.
00:13:40.428 --> 00:13:44.746
Because they had one amongst all the employees, which is like a crazy amount.
00:13:44.746 --> 00:13:50.639
I didn't have all the number in front of me, but they vote amongst which office is the best to work with, and this is the office.
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:51.642
So they signed.
00:13:51.642 --> 00:13:52.344
Everything was good.
00:13:52.344 --> 00:13:53.072
How many people?
00:13:53.332 --> 00:13:58.870
About 400, I would say the first little uh-oh was when they called me and they're like hey, I sent them my writer.
00:13:58.870 --> 00:14:06.077
I didn't have to provide anything, I just was going to show up and they called me and said hey, we can't find DJ furniture of any sort.
00:14:06.077 --> 00:14:08.200
We all we have is a six foot table.
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:09.400
I'm like, nah, it's not going to work.
00:14:09.400 --> 00:14:12.063
You know, not on a stage, no florals, nothing.
00:14:12.063 --> 00:14:14.865
So I said I'll bring it, but I'm going to charge you for it.
00:14:14.865 --> 00:14:15.667
And they were fine with it.
00:14:15.667 --> 00:14:18.999
So I ended up having to pack up the vehicle and put it in there.
00:14:19.179 --> 00:14:29.191
Get there they were.
00:14:29.191 --> 00:14:29.292
Yeah.
00:14:29.292 --> 00:14:37.578
So I show up and I get in the room and I notice that they have a disco ball light at the at the middle of the room, above the dance floor, and it's just on I'm thinking okay, they're just a disco ball or a legit disco ball with the light pointed at it.
00:14:37.698 --> 00:14:40.412
Oh jesus christ and it's going on the entire time.
00:14:40.592 --> 00:14:43.660
Yeah, and I'm like, oh, that's kind of weird, maybe they're just testing it.
00:14:43.660 --> 00:14:50.023
No, it was on the entire night, like like the whole celebration, including like speeches, all the different things.
00:14:50.250 --> 00:14:52.998
Was it themed like 70s disco party?
00:14:53.138 --> 00:14:53.519
No, not at all.
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.350
So it was just a random Apparently.
00:14:55.350 --> 00:14:57.096
They threw it in the venue, did?
00:14:57.998 --> 00:14:58.558
The speakers.
00:14:58.558 --> 00:14:59.160
What a bonus.
00:14:59.441 --> 00:15:01.616
The speakers and again, I didn't check this stuff.
00:15:01.616 --> 00:15:05.029
And again a learning lesson for folks, because they're a legit company.
00:15:05.070 --> 00:15:05.510
Yeah, right right.
00:15:05.510 --> 00:15:07.296
I'm thinking they do these events all over the place.
00:15:07.296 --> 00:15:10.082
Yeah, it wasn't like Bob's Timbershack or something.
00:15:10.129 --> 00:15:13.340
And she told me on the planning call hey, this budget's been cut a lot.
00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:20.559
The other thing I learned, too, was, like they have in-house people, you should probably double check the work, Because they're not doing this at a high level probably.
00:15:22.017 --> 00:15:23.846
Because they're just doing it for their company.
00:15:30.529 --> 00:15:31.972
Oh, venue, no in-house event planners that do events for that company.
00:15:31.972 --> 00:15:32.293
Okay, so I go.
00:15:32.293 --> 00:15:33.275
The speakers were on the stage pointed up.
00:15:33.275 --> 00:15:40.302
They weren't even on stands, so they were just kind of pointed up subs right next to them and this room went way back.
00:15:40.302 --> 00:15:46.778
So we're talking like absolutely terrible acoustics in the room and 400 people, 400 people.
00:15:46.778 --> 00:15:48.523
And then they have up lights around the room.
00:15:48.523 --> 00:15:53.263
No stage lighting, no tubes, nothing, movers, nothing.
00:15:53.705 --> 00:15:56.052
And I'm like this just got a whole lot more difficult.
00:15:56.052 --> 00:16:02.052
And on top of that, their budget was so tight that they said we could only hire you for the dancing portion.
00:16:02.052 --> 00:16:02.835
We're not gonna.
00:00:22.914 --> 00:00:23.734
00:00:23.734 --> 00:00:26.996
00:00:26.996 --> 00:00:29.064
00:00:29.425 --> 00:00:30.047
00:00:30.047 --> 00:00:31.682
00:00:31.682 --> 00:00:33.046
00:00:33.046 --> 00:00:34.831
00:00:34.911 --> 00:00:40.090
00:00:40.090 --> 00:00:41.353
00:00:41.353 --> 00:00:43.436
00:00:43.436 --> 00:00:45.462
00:00:45.462 --> 00:00:48.317
00:00:48.838 --> 00:00:58.786
00:00:58.786 --> 00:01:01.101
00:01:01.101 --> 00:01:04.730
00:01:04.891 --> 00:01:05.513
00:01:05.513 --> 00:01:08.561
00:01:08.602 --> 00:01:11.411
00:01:11.411 --> 00:01:12.584
00:01:13.602 --> 00:01:18.322
00:01:18.322 --> 00:01:25.552
00:01:25.813 --> 00:01:28.316
00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:34.683
00:01:34.683 --> 00:01:40.462
00:01:40.584 --> 00:01:45.993
00:01:45.993 --> 00:01:46.500
00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:59.156
00:01:59.156 --> 00:02:13.629
00:02:13.629 --> 00:02:15.447
00:02:15.447 --> 00:02:17.919
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.930
00:02:20.930 --> 00:02:27.300
00:02:27.602 --> 00:02:28.945
00:02:28.945 --> 00:02:30.790
00:02:30.790 --> 00:02:39.961
00:02:39.961 --> 00:02:47.174
00:02:47.174 --> 00:02:49.319
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:50.405
00:02:50.405 --> 00:02:51.188
00:02:51.430 --> 00:02:55.872
00:02:55.872 --> 00:03:00.647
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.664
00:03:03.905 --> 00:03:06.931
00:03:06.931 --> 00:03:09.474
00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:40.146
00:03:40.187 --> 00:03:49.126
00:03:49.126 --> 00:03:51.604
00:03:51.604 --> 00:03:52.627
00:03:52.627 --> 00:03:53.389
00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:59.191
00:03:59.191 --> 00:04:04.688
00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:05.133
00:04:05.046 --> 00:04:06.020
00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:09.512
00:04:09.512 --> 00:04:09.953
00:04:09.953 --> 00:04:11.514
00:04:11.514 --> 00:04:19.769
00:04:20.192 --> 00:04:21.437
00:04:21.437 --> 00:04:25.870
00:04:25.870 --> 00:04:32.146
00:04:32.540 --> 00:04:34.326
00:04:34.326 --> 00:04:37.389
00:04:37.389 --> 00:04:43.853
00:04:43.853 --> 00:04:45.922
00:04:45.922 --> 00:04:46.863
