Grab your sombreros and questionable life choices—this is a LIVE Cinco de Mayo episode of Beyond The DJ Booth , where Joe Bunn and Brian B. celebrate the only Latin holiday they truly connect with… because, well, they both really love Mexican food.

Broadcast straight from a virtual live audience session, the heat gets turned up—literally—as Brian takes on a hot sauce challenge that may or may not require medical intervention. Meanwhile, the duo dives into the hilariously honest reality of DJing Latin music as two white guys with more salsa in their fridge than rhythm in their hips.

They break down some go-to Latin tracks that cross over with any crowd—from Marc Anthony’s “Vivir Mi Vida” to the classic floor-filler “Suavemente” —with a healthy dose of humility and humor. Spoiler: there’s also a Latin-style cover of The Cranberries’ “Linger” that weirdly slaps.

But it’s not just tunes and tears—during the live Q&A portion, they field real-time questions about ceremony setups, tech upgrades, and dealing with rogue officiants. Brian recalls hauling car batteries to beach weddings pre-Bose era, and Jon reveals how they now capture content while juggling unpredictable weather and overly involved photographers.

The episode takes an unexpectedly moving turn as they share some of their most emotional moments DJing, including events for special needs communities that reminded them why they do what they do in the first place.

So whether you’re here for the tech tips, the spicy takes, or just to laugh at two guys dancing around cultural landmines with good intentions and bad hips, this episode has it all.

Hit play. You’ll never look at Cinco de Mayo (or Suavemente ) the same again.

00:00:41.384 --> 00:00:46.750
If you're not familiar with us, this is the Beyond the DJ Booth podcast, the live episode.

00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:47.771
The live episode.

00:00:47.771 --> 00:00:48.712
I'm Brian B.

00:00:48.712 --> 00:00:49.652
I'm Joe Bunn.

00:00:49.652 --> 00:00:51.554
Do we have like a Latin name?

00:00:51.554 --> 00:00:52.036
Do you know what?

00:00:52.036 --> 00:00:52.856
Oh, jose.

00:00:52.956 --> 00:00:53.576
Jose for you.

00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:55.164
I don't think there's anything for me.

00:00:55.164 --> 00:00:55.927
No for Brian.

00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.161
Thank Juan on the board, as always everybody.

00:00:58.161 --> 00:00:59.901
Thank y'all for tuning in live.

00:00:59.901 --> 00:01:06.263
We're on YouTube, we're on Twitch right now and I think we're on my Facebook page, so I'm sure my friends that are not private event.

00:01:06.304 --> 00:01:07.103
Djs are like what?

00:01:07.164 --> 00:01:09.364
is this Before we get into anything.

00:01:09.385 --> 00:01:09.825
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:01:10.105 --> 00:01:12.805
Shout out to Richie Stedman for suggesting this idea.

00:01:12.805 --> 00:01:20.409
Richie Stedman's like the unofficial producer of the podcast and he was, like I'm, at a podcast convention which me and you didn't go to.

00:01:20.409 --> 00:01:20.789
We should have.

00:01:20.808 --> 00:01:21.989
You didn't go to we should.

00:01:22.010 --> 00:01:23.209
We're going to go, so we are going in August.

00:01:23.209 --> 00:01:26.932
But he said, uh, the the hot new thing is doing a live episode.

00:01:26.932 --> 00:01:27.251
Should we?

00:01:27.311 --> 00:01:29.012
cheers Sure man A little Corona.

00:01:29.012 --> 00:01:30.313
Is this going to fit your diet?

00:01:30.352 --> 00:01:32.414
I know we've been talking about exactly on the program.

00:01:32.453 --> 00:01:34.555
But it's, it's, it's, it's a one timer, it's a Cheers.

00:01:34.555 --> 00:01:35.435
Yes sir, yes sir, yes, sir yes sir.

00:01:35.454 --> 00:01:37.316
Do you even know what Cinco de Mayo stands for?

00:01:37.316 --> 00:01:37.536
I don't.

00:01:46.021 --> 00:01:47.466
I think it's an American made.

00:01:47.466 --> 00:01:51.069
Well, definitely, americans celebrate it more than our Mexican brethren.

00:01:51.069 --> 00:01:51.871
Okay, go on.

00:01:51.871 --> 00:02:04.430
So I looked it up and Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of the Puebla, which took place on May 5th 1862, where, apparently, the Mexican army defeated the French forces of Napoleon.

00:02:04.430 --> 00:02:07.644
It's not Mexican Independence Day, that's September 16th.

00:02:07.644 --> 00:02:10.348
Okay, because that's what a lot of people think it is Right.

00:02:10.348 --> 00:02:19.020
In the US, cinco de Mayo is more widely celebrated than in Mexico, particularly among Mexican-American communities, as a celebration of heritage, pride and culture.

00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:20.141
You just take everything, man.

00:02:20.141 --> 00:02:24.673
Well, there we go, jesus, that's what it is.

00:02:24.673 --> 00:02:25.223
Yeah, have you.

00:02:25.223 --> 00:02:26.088
Well, there we go, jesus, that's what it is.

00:02:26.088 --> 00:02:27.439
Yeah, have you ever played saint glendomile like a party for?

00:02:27.941 --> 00:02:29.324
not, but I'm going tonight.

00:02:29.324 --> 00:02:39.901
Mark t is playing somewhere at that gringo place downtown okay go, go by the long leaf, swan the barbecue yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah so does he have to do a whole latin?

00:02:39.901 --> 00:02:40.745
I don't think so.

00:02:40.745 --> 00:02:44.902
Man mark t, he can play latin, but I don't think he's gonna do the whole thing okay, are we?

00:02:44.902 --> 00:02:46.367
Gonna leave these costumes on the whole time?

00:02:46.367 --> 00:02:47.823
And are these races?

00:02:48.003 --> 00:02:50.812
secondly, I don't know he said I don't know.

00:02:50.812 --> 00:02:53.328
I'm pointing this all on, richie, this is all Richie.

00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:54.941
This is all Richie Stedman's idea.

00:02:54.941 --> 00:02:56.062
He lives in Utah.

00:02:56.562 --> 00:03:01.187
It's about the whitest place you can be, oh geez.

00:03:01.187 --> 00:03:09.275
Anyway, I used to play the bar a lot and a couple of years Cinco de Mayo would fall on a day that we'd have, and in Southern California Cinco de Mayo is massive.

00:03:09.275 --> 00:03:10.437
It just goes off, sure.

00:03:10.437 --> 00:03:13.903
So you can take that off, go ahead.

00:03:13.903 --> 00:03:16.830
That is a mini, though I'm kind of just going to stay in costume.

00:03:16.850 --> 00:03:22.287
Yeah, go ahead, Go ahead, bro Anyway so we would have all these contests, like just to do different things.

00:03:22.287 --> 00:03:25.973
One of them was a hot sauce eating contest.

00:03:25.973 --> 00:03:31.126
How many times could you take a little swig of hot sauce?

00:03:31.347 --> 00:03:32.729
zero man are you?

00:03:32.729 --> 00:03:39.651
I'm not good at spicy, like hot, like low tolerance for heat, and really ethnic food in general.

00:03:39.651 --> 00:03:42.838
Now let me say I love mexican food.

00:03:42.899 --> 00:03:52.491
I could eat mexican food every day I could do it every day, but like when you slide into, like india, korea, thailand, you lose me.

00:03:52.572 --> 00:03:55.264
You know what they say about um mexican food what's that?

00:03:55.746 --> 00:04:00.622
it's the happiest type of food what you mean like it hits your, your brain like the dopamine.

00:04:00.663 --> 00:04:02.912
yeah, yeah, it gives you the most happiness.

00:04:02.912 --> 00:04:04.135
Okay, study on that.

00:04:04.135 --> 00:04:04.598
I love it.

00:04:04.638 --> 00:04:06.263
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we talked free.

00:04:06.263 --> 00:04:08.169
Show that your tolerance is low.

00:04:08.169 --> 00:04:10.504
I'm going to take the fall for us today.

00:04:10.504 --> 00:04:12.350
Really, yeah, what are you doing?

00:04:12.350 --> 00:04:17.240
So how many of these Goya hot sauce looks like this.

00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:18.321
That's not that hot, though, right.

00:04:18.380 --> 00:04:18.781
I don't know.

00:04:18.781 --> 00:04:20.903
It's got Four chilies.

00:04:20.903 --> 00:04:22.105
Okay, how many?

00:04:22.105 --> 00:04:22.526
What now?

00:04:22.526 --> 00:04:24.747
How many little dabs of this do you think I can do?

00:04:24.747 --> 00:04:26.529
I won't do them all continuously.

00:04:26.550 --> 00:04:26.810
Okay.

00:04:27.071 --> 00:04:28.192
But do you think I can do five?

00:04:28.192 --> 00:04:29.072
Do you think I can do 10?

00:04:29.072 --> 00:04:30.233
Do you think I can do 11?

00:04:30.254 --> 00:04:31.896
Throughout the broadcast, throughout the broadcast.

00:04:32.196 --> 00:04:32.617
What do you think?

00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:34.865
I think you can hit a dozen.

00:04:35.127 --> 00:04:35.488
A dozen.

00:04:40.204 --> 00:04:41.605
Yeah, you're just going to like 10.

00:04:41.605 --> 00:04:42.346
What?

00:04:42.365 --> 00:04:43.307
do you think Saquon?

00:04:43.307 --> 00:04:44.327
Before you shit yourself.

00:04:44.327 --> 00:04:48.091
It could be bad.

00:04:48.091 --> 00:04:48.771
We'll go 10.

00:04:48.771 --> 00:04:49.351
10?

00:04:49.351 --> 00:04:51.793
All right, let's just do the first one and see what works.

00:04:51.793 --> 00:04:52.355
I'll go 8.

00:04:52.975 --> 00:04:53.115
8?

00:04:53.115 --> 00:04:53.115
.

00:04:53.115 --> 00:04:53.795
He dropped it to 8.

00:04:53.815 --> 00:04:54.437
We'll drop it down.

00:04:54.437 --> 00:04:55.297
This is pretty.

00:04:55.297 --> 00:04:56.565
I mean, I'm already feeling the heat.

00:04:56.565 --> 00:04:58.045
It's not even out of the.

00:04:58.045 --> 00:05:07.000
Let me see, let me.

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:07.579
Oh, there we go, there we go.

00:05:07.579 --> 00:05:08.221
Hit it one time.

00:05:08.221 --> 00:05:08.901
Oh yeah, spicy, yeah, yeah.

00:05:08.901 --> 00:05:11.362
I think it's probably better that you do them all at one time, yeah, rather than spread them out.

00:05:11.362 --> 00:05:12.223
But I'll spread them out for you.

00:05:12.223 --> 00:05:14.223
I think this could get Okay, let's go sideways.

00:05:14.223 --> 00:05:15.004
It could get frisky.

00:05:15.004 --> 00:05:16.105
Let's shout out some people.

00:05:16.264 --> 00:05:16.485

That's a great call dude.

00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:09.326
So you're the music king by the way, you don't do a ton of Latin shows.

00:06:10.283 --> 00:06:11.687
I'm going to go this far Ready.

00:06:11.687 --> 00:06:24.920
I'm going to just say this in public Worst Latin DJ ever, wow, yeah you.

00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:26.663
You're there, you can't get out.

00:06:26.663 --> 00:06:27.565
I'm gonna do the gringo thing.

00:06:27.565 --> 00:06:27.745
What is?

00:06:27.745 --> 00:06:28.728
What's the first song you're playing?

00:06:28.747 --> 00:06:29.990
vivir mi vida oh, that was one of my go-tos.

00:06:29.990 --> 00:06:31.233
And then I feel like I would.

00:06:31.233 --> 00:06:38.964
I would go, uh, for merengue, I'd go suavemente, and they would be like this freaking cracker yeah.

00:06:38.985 --> 00:06:41.971
So I had one this weekend that had a little latin influence.

00:06:41.971 --> 00:06:43.293
Okay, yeah, wouldn't say it's.

00:06:43.293 --> 00:06:47.011
They were mexican, necessarily, but they were from the Dominican Republic or something like that.

00:06:47.011 --> 00:06:48.687
Not nearly the same, but go on.

00:06:48.687 --> 00:06:52.966
But salsa was the move, so viver y vida.

00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.668

All right, go ahead.

00:07:03.029 --> 00:07:07.336
So the Marc Anthony track yeah, Do you play it at all, or only when you have a Latin crowd?

00:07:07.336 --> 00:07:08.687
Have you ever dropped it to all?

00:07:08.788 --> 00:07:12.625
No, no, somebody would have to say play salsa, and then that's my go-to gringo.

00:07:12.625 --> 00:07:14.829
Pull Okay, vivi or Mi Vida.

00:07:15.091 --> 00:07:25.711
So if people haven't heard it, we actually have a sample of it coming through the board and it's not blasting Come on up a little bit.

00:07:25.711 --> 00:07:27.805
Can you guys hear that?

00:07:27.805 --> 00:07:29.389
I love it when it finally kicks in.

00:07:29.389 --> 00:07:33.141
It's just like got that full salsa beat, but this is just a go.

00:07:33.141 --> 00:07:36.348
Can you guys hear that on the stream Right there?

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:40.985
Yo, Nate Acosta's on here.

00:07:40.985 --> 00:07:42.444
He's going to be mad at us bro.

00:07:42.463 --> 00:07:47.951
Yeah, totally, this is about as cultural misappropriation is what this is called.

00:07:48.502 --> 00:07:53.141
So you said your second song was what Shout out to my Mexican friends, though for real, Nadek Kosta's Mexican, I think.

00:07:53.201 --> 00:07:55.201
Yo, what's your second song?

00:07:55.401 --> 00:08:00.925
Oh, suavemente, suavemente yeah yeah, yeah, okay, all right.

00:08:00.925 --> 00:08:04.528
I mean people are going to reach out and be like yo, I got you this, that and the other.

00:08:04.528 --> 00:08:06.430
But it's not just about that man.

00:08:06.430 --> 00:08:09.151
It's not about like, listen, don't get me wrong.

00:08:09.151 --> 00:08:13.754
Right, if I had a couple and they said we want Spanish music all night, I'm not taking the gig.

00:08:13.754 --> 00:08:24.408
If we have a couple and let's say the girl is from whatever Dominican Republic, puerto Rico, puerto Rico and then we got the groom and he's from Chapel Hill, north Carolina, Right, I like this yeah.

00:08:24.449 --> 00:08:28.394
But I'm going to say I need you to work with me on the Spanish music, on the Latin music.

00:08:28.394 --> 00:08:30.247
Please give me this stuff, yeah.

00:08:30.247 --> 00:08:38.282
And then I'm going to listen to it, I'm going to track it, figure out where the ins and outs are, what the tempo is, how I can mix it with freaking black eyed peas or whatever.

00:08:38.282 --> 00:08:44.447
And again, it wouldn't matter if it was Latin, egyptian, middle Eastern, indian, whatever it is.

00:08:44.447 --> 00:08:47.610
I want the songs from them that I know are going to go over.

00:08:47.610 --> 00:08:53.735
I don't want it to be saying like you know, stick your finger in my butt in Spanish, I don't know what they're saying, right?

00:08:53.735 --> 00:08:55.716
So, like it's not your culture.

00:08:55.897 --> 00:08:56.616
It's not my culture.

00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:05.821
It's not my music.

00:09:05.821 --> 00:09:09.711
And then I've also mixed out of songs too early and gotten just like just death stares, yeah, because they had these big endings.

00:09:09.711 --> 00:09:10.432
You know what I'm saying.

00:09:10.432 --> 00:09:17.511
And then it's like and, and then I shit the bed and mixed out of it before that big ending where you like, dip your girl yeah, because they know how to dance like right.

00:09:17.552 --> 00:09:27.830
We're just sitting there flailing around like the white people we are, but the spanish people, man, they get down anyway well, I was gonna play another track, because here's another one that is a go-to for me if I got some latin crowd.

00:09:27.830 --> 00:09:29.573
This is this mix.

00:09:29.573 --> 00:09:31.003
I think this was done by scooter.

00:09:31.003 --> 00:09:31.563
Do you have this one?

00:09:31.563 --> 00:09:38.086
This is the donza, which is like probably the most gringo sure version of a latin track right now are you playing?

00:09:38.086 --> 00:09:38.629
That one at all.

00:09:38.629 --> 00:09:41.924
Donza cadura, yeah, you play okay, but have you heard it with the pepas?

00:09:41.924 --> 00:09:43.749
No, sir, I think this is a scooter blend.

00:09:43.788 --> 00:09:44.770
I could be wrong, okay.

00:09:45.010 --> 00:09:46.052
But this one goes over.

00:09:46.052 --> 00:09:56.212
So it's got Donza first over a hand clap and then goes into the Pepas over a hand clap and then, with the Donza beat, always goes over.

00:09:56.212 --> 00:09:57.823
It doesn't matter if they're Latin or not.

00:10:00.289 --> 00:10:00.971
Oh, this is crazy.

00:10:03.421 --> 00:10:05.264
But then you can knock out two Latin songs.

00:10:05.264 --> 00:10:06.649
Yeah, they're here in the chat.

00:10:06.649 --> 00:10:08.072
Yeah, they're good.

00:10:08.072 --> 00:10:12.346
See over the Donza.

00:10:12.346 --> 00:10:20.285
So if you don't have like a massive Latin crowd but you just want to give it, a little bit of a flavor that knocks out two bangers right in a row.

00:10:20.586 --> 00:10:21.028
That's good.

00:10:21.028 --> 00:10:21.951
Send me that, all right.

00:10:21.951 --> 00:10:23.443
Third song, to your point.

00:10:23.443 --> 00:10:23.885
What was it?

00:10:23.885 --> 00:10:25.942
The Elvis Cr crispo track?

00:10:25.942 --> 00:10:27.405
Yeah, yeah, suavemente, suavemente.

00:10:27.405 --> 00:10:29.692
So this is like the updated version with bailar.

00:10:29.692 --> 00:10:32.605
Okay, and this is dioro, so dioro.

00:10:32.605 --> 00:10:35.131
This is the jd live melbourne bootleg edit.

00:10:35.131 --> 00:10:38.744
You got to play this one if you want to play it to a more modern crowd so go for it.

00:10:38.744 --> 00:10:42.110
That's that merengue vibe.

00:10:42.110 --> 00:10:50.131
Now it goes harder here in a second.

00:10:50.131 --> 00:10:59.807
Okay, we're in the flavor of it right now oh.

00:11:00.086 --> 00:11:01.207
Yes, total siren.

00:11:01.207 --> 00:11:07.354
Now we're in it, this goes off oh.

00:11:08.054 --> 00:11:08.455
Massive.

00:11:08.455 --> 00:11:10.017
Always good for me.

00:11:10.017 --> 00:11:10.476
Damn.

00:11:10.476 --> 00:11:14.759
This is like the gringo go-to Latin list.

00:11:14.899 --> 00:11:16.504
Right, you're not claiming to be like a gringo.

00:11:16.504 --> 00:11:17.928
No, no, no, no, you don't know what you're doing.

00:11:17.928 --> 00:11:19.841
No, I mean, you know these go off, I can get through it.

00:11:20.001 --> 00:11:20.822
Right right, right right.

00:11:21.043 --> 00:11:24.466
So over the last couple of years I feel like Lechona has been the move Absolutely.

00:11:24.466 --> 00:11:25.648
Are you playing that one at all?

00:11:25.687 --> 00:11:27.230
Yes, we had a conversation about this.

00:11:27.230 --> 00:11:32.115
In fact, when I posted the graphic for this, I picked Lechona as the graphic background.

00:11:32.294 --> 00:11:33.836
Before DJC, I never really heard of it.

00:11:44.273 --> 00:11:47.282
I mean, this thing came them, but not really so this is more.

00:11:47.643 --> 00:11:49.269
what would you classify this styling?

00:11:49.269 --> 00:11:49.740
Why are you?

00:11:49.880 --> 00:11:54.524
asking the whitest dude in the room Nate Acosta knows, nate, what is La Chona.

00:11:54.524 --> 00:11:56.630
If he's still watching, he'll answer Go ahead.

00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.410
I feel like it's like the guys that play the mariachi vibe Mariachi it could be.

00:12:00.410 --> 00:12:03.833
For those that don't know the track here, it is Okay.

00:12:03.833 --> 00:12:11.562
Oh yeah, A little that bass line oh always goes over.

00:12:11.643 --> 00:12:18.405
Oh shit, he said it's called Quebradita.

00:12:18.787 --> 00:12:20.851
This is the style, okay.

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:24.288
Dominic said he's offended by your outfit.

00:12:24.288 --> 00:12:29.509
Yeah, they got that big fat guitar, that's like yeah.

00:12:29.509 --> 00:12:33.145
And those outfits.

00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:34.943
Man we should have gotten those.

00:12:34.943 --> 00:12:36.126
Totally Should have brought those guys in.

00:12:36.126 --> 00:12:38.592
Oh shit, next year, next year.

00:12:38.592 --> 00:12:44.068
So this is going to be so offensive in a good way.

00:12:44.068 --> 00:12:44.571
You ready?

00:12:44.571 --> 00:12:57.341
Yes, in my coaching group we once a month do music share and we have a guy from houston and there's a big latin population there so he said hey, man, if you ever get somebody who wants a little, bit of shout out who it is yeah, cory green.

00:12:57.481 --> 00:12:58.203
Yeah, cory green.

00:12:58.203 --> 00:13:01.309
This is if you want 90s with latin.

00:13:01.309 --> 00:13:04.326
So this is linger, the song linger by the cranberries.

00:13:04.326 --> 00:13:08.701
But this is the easy band version Jesus, you ready.

00:13:08.841 --> 00:13:09.403
You're going to love this.

00:13:09.403 --> 00:13:10.708
You've got to play it from the beginning.

00:13:10.708 --> 00:13:11.049
I'm ready.

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:14.861
You hear the strike?

00:13:14.861 --> 00:13:16.005
Yeah, I love this song.

00:13:16.005 --> 00:13:17.169
It's.

00:13:20.094 --> 00:13:20.515
It's.

00:13:29.549 --> 00:13:30.772
It is Okay, you think you know where it's going.

00:13:30.772 --> 00:13:35.397
You think you know where it's going, but oh, oh.

00:13:35.397 --> 00:13:47.729
You just don't see it coming.

00:13:47.729 --> 00:13:49.172
It just comes around.

00:13:49.172 --> 00:13:50.273
Is that not amazing?

00:13:50.273 --> 00:13:50.833
Is it still the?

00:13:50.833 --> 00:13:53.466
Real vocal from no, it's a cover re-record.

00:13:53.466 --> 00:13:54.990
Yeah, okay, it kind of hit.

00:13:56.413 --> 00:14:04.035
You're like I know where it's going that this summer, like in the boat, just kind of ride through like I'm adding it to your playlist, that's for sure.

00:14:04.076 --> 00:14:08.908
All right, even though he's, you know, not technically mexican bad bunny.

00:14:08.908 --> 00:14:10.150
What's your bad bunny track?

00:14:10.150 --> 00:14:10.331
I?

00:14:10.591 --> 00:14:15.256
love how you say he's not technically mexican, he's not mexican at all right I like that bunny.

00:14:15.256 --> 00:14:16.380
What's your go-to track?

00:14:16.380 --> 00:14:19.548
Oh, um, yeah, we've talked about this before.

00:14:19.548 --> 00:14:21.412
Nobody, nobody ever, accost me.

00:14:21.432 --> 00:14:26.392
You know like how that was a thing yeah, like you say accost because it's Nate Acosta, no, no.

00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:27.081
I just said.

00:14:27.081 --> 00:14:31.210
Nobody ever accosts me about playing Bad Bunny.

00:14:31.210 --> 00:14:32.712
Okay, are you playing any?

00:14:32.712 --> 00:14:35.366
Yes, I'm spacing on the name dude.

00:14:35.366 --> 00:14:38.067
Whatever, it was a year or so ago that one that came out, okay.

00:14:38.126 --> 00:14:40.806
All right, he had a lot of big tracks.

00:14:40.806 --> 00:14:47.849
Not here in north carolina, not not for the damn people that I played off his new album are you playing anything?

00:14:47.849 --> 00:14:48.230
Probably not, okay.

00:14:48.230 --> 00:14:48.913
You yeah, okay, a few of them.

00:14:48.913 --> 00:14:53.576
So the one that I was going to recommend was the dtm fake peso pluma the other day at the wedding.

00:14:53.576 --> 00:14:57.291
Yeah, he called it bro, he walked in, I was like yo, that's peso pluma.

00:14:57.350 --> 00:15:02.264
It wasn't, but I mean, yeah, he had that same funny thing is you didn't even know who he was like.

00:15:02.264 --> 00:15:06.153
I just just called him Peso Bluma and then Saquon was like man, that's racist.

00:15:06.153 --> 00:15:08.203
I was like, no, I think that's what Peso Bluma looked like.

00:15:08.203 --> 00:15:11.611
And it did look like Peso Bluma Wow, with the shaved sides, wow.

00:15:11.611 --> 00:15:12.514
Anyway, go ahead.

00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:14.988
So this is one of his latest tracks.

00:15:14.988 --> 00:15:16.100
It's the DTMF.

00:15:16.100 --> 00:15:21.408
If you're getting asked for a Bad Bunny track recently off of his and this is one you should definitely be playing.

00:15:21.447 --> 00:15:35.370
Okay, Good to know Because I don't know Goes over played it this weekend.

00:15:35.389 --> 00:15:36.673

I think he gave you props.

00:16:01.414 --> 00:16:05.428
All right, la Puerta Negra will have the Mexicans lose their mind.

00:16:05.428 --> 00:16:06.591

00:17:26.767 --> 00:17:30.606
Yeah this is heavy, this kid's shooting salsa.

00:17:30.846 --> 00:17:31.808
I'm doing this for the pod man.

00:17:31.808 --> 00:17:32.671
This is for the pod.

00:17:32.671 --> 00:17:33.333
It is for the pod.

00:17:33.333 --> 00:17:45.241
My breath is just it's got to be T major out of San Diego.

00:17:45.241 --> 00:17:45.782
This is a great question.

00:17:45.782 --> 00:17:47.588
I hired a personal content videographer to shoot clips of me DJing at weddings.

00:17:47.588 --> 00:17:48.894
It's been great for my IG and branding.

00:17:48.894 --> 00:17:52.588
At a recent event my guy showed up like always when dancing started.

00:17:52.588 --> 00:17:57.890
The hired photo video team flipped out, saying their contract didn't allow any other shooters.

00:17:57.890 --> 00:18:01.542
I explained he was just getting DJ focused content and not stepping on toes.

00:18:01.542 --> 00:18:03.306
But the lead videographer got aggressive.

00:18:03.306 --> 00:18:05.651
My guy bailed to avoid conflict.

00:18:05.651 --> 00:18:09.539
I followed up respectfully after the event and she kept pointing us to the contract.

00:18:09.539 --> 00:18:13.630
I told her it's unrealistic to expect vendors not to create any content these days.

00:18:13.630 --> 00:18:16.269
We parted ways professionally but I left with zero footage.

00:18:16.269 --> 00:18:17.153
What would you have done?

00:18:17.153 --> 00:18:23.088
Should I have pushed harder or just chalked it up as one of those situations, this thing, if you?

00:18:23.108 --> 00:18:24.230
throw up or shit yourself.

00:18:24.230 --> 00:18:25.093
I'm gonna be furious.

00:18:25.093 --> 00:18:25.554
I'm not gonna.

00:18:25.673 --> 00:18:31.152
I'm not even playing right now oh man, I mean, you have saquon but saquon is out there shooting dude.

00:18:31.212 --> 00:18:45.449
Not only do I have saquon, who's my assistant, who is shooting, running the lights, taking requests and all the things right, I've definitely brought in outsiders with dslr cameras not these pocket osmo threes or whatever and been out there with big-ass cameras shooting footage.

00:18:45.449 --> 00:18:47.073
For me Now, two things.

00:18:47.073 --> 00:18:52.288
One, I definitely told the couple hey, I'm going to have this guy with me.

00:18:52.288 --> 00:18:54.868
You know he's got a black pants, black polo.

00:18:54.868 --> 00:18:57.464
You know he'll stay out of the way of your main video and photo guy.

00:18:57.464 --> 00:18:58.205
Is that okay?

00:18:58.205 --> 00:19:04.080
So I did get approval, especially when I was bringing in an outsider Pre-gig, pre-gig.

00:19:04.080 --> 00:19:08.894
But I did not reach out to the photo and video people Listening to this story.

00:19:08.894 --> 00:19:09.998
Maybe I should have.

00:19:09.998 --> 00:19:14.916
But also, it sounds like these people are just dicks, like this footage is for the DJ.

00:19:14.916 --> 00:19:23.833
You know, as a video and photo people, you're damn well not going to give this stuff to the DJ, or by the time you give it to him, it's Christmas, yeah.

00:19:23.853 --> 00:19:25.295
And stuff to the DJ, or by the time you give it to him, it's Christmas.

00:19:25.295 --> 00:19:26.477
Yeah, you know, may, right now I don't know, man.

00:19:26.477 --> 00:19:30.020
I mean, would I have just let it go that night, absolutely, because what am I going to do?

00:19:30.020 --> 00:19:33.184
Go out there and start yelling at somebody at a wedding Like it ain't worth it.

00:19:33.184 --> 00:19:34.125
Send your guy home.

00:19:34.125 --> 00:19:38.655
Don't put him in a bad position.

00:19:38.655 --> 00:19:42.324
There's no need to, you know, start a fight or cause it exactly like he did afterwards.

00:19:42.324 --> 00:19:44.047
And you try not to burn the bridge.

00:19:44.047 --> 00:19:49.365
But I just think that those people that were were, you know, harassing his guy are just assholes.

00:19:49.404 --> 00:19:53.142
that's crazy well, and the other part that was weird to me in this was that his guy just left.

00:19:53.403 --> 00:20:09.030
It seems odd to me like that whole situation, like that relationship seemed well, not really man, I mean, if you if it sounds like he works with this person a lot right, and the guy shows up and he's getting harassed by these other yeah, this other media team, and you wouldn't want him to be there and feel uncomfortable and shit, do you have to pay him maybe?

00:20:09.030 --> 00:20:10.255
I mean, maybe not his full rate.

00:20:10.275 --> 00:20:25.384
I'd be like hey man, I'm gonna send you 100 bucks on them for wasting your time driving out here, but like you're not gonna get any content yeah, it sounds like I think the key is communication communication always before the event always showing up and having that happen so.

00:20:25.404 --> 00:20:28.736
So you think he should have gotten approval from the couple and the media team.

00:20:28.836 --> 00:20:30.220
I mean the media team isn't really.

00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:38.471
I mean, I would have brought it up to the couple hey, do you have in your contract with the video people that they can be the only one shooting this event, even though this is just DJ footage which is fall mine?

00:20:38.471 --> 00:20:40.231
Do I need to have a conversation with them?

00:20:40.231 --> 00:20:40.792
That kind of thing?

00:20:40.792 --> 00:20:43.173
I'll tell you, I don't hire content people for me.

00:20:43.173 --> 00:20:45.596
I always pay the videographer in cash.

00:20:45.876 --> 00:20:50.559
Day of if I know there's a videographer there to get footage for me, specifically, I hand it to them.

00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:55.723
Day of Cash, cash money, five hundo I have on hand and you're leaving that day with content.

00:20:55.723 --> 00:21:09.173
Well, I mean, I'm getting it like within a relatively short time, because they're already there, they're shooting it, they already have all the lighting, they have all the stuff.

00:21:09.173 --> 00:21:11.192
You're just, you're not even, you're not even asking, you're just just voluntarily giving them five.

00:21:11.192 --> 00:21:11.692
No, no, I go up to the guy, go hey, listen, you're here.

00:21:11.692 --> 00:21:17.250
I would love to see if you'd be available to shoot some stuff for me, specifically like within the framework of the event I'm not saying you gotta be here, like getting me doing all the stuff.

00:21:17.270 --> 00:21:18.593
But just you're shooting it anyways.

00:21:18.593 --> 00:21:20.035
Yeah, can I give you some cash?

00:21:20.035 --> 00:21:20.496
I have.

00:21:20.496 --> 00:21:23.319
I mean, I can also ven too, but usually cash works better.

00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.144
They're like yeah, I said I have three 400 bucks, 500 bucks.

00:21:26.144 --> 00:21:29.398
Whatever the case may be, I'll look at the situation and see like how nice of a venue it is.

00:21:29.398 --> 00:21:31.438
If I know the videographer, I kind of know where I need to be.

00:21:31.690 --> 00:21:33.016
And then I'll offer it within the day.

00:21:33.109 --> 00:21:45.320
I have footage of me raw, raw, ready to go, and then usually they'll follow up with something else there to shoot, necessarily for me, as long as you have the footage and you can post whenever you want, sure, that's the key.

00:21:45.320 --> 00:21:47.984
Yeah, trickle it out, yeah, great call mark beecher.

00:21:48.265 --> 00:21:52.517
What happens when you have an outside ceremony and it can rain any minute?

00:21:52.517 --> 00:21:54.942
Do you call for things to move to plan b?

00:21:54.942 --> 00:21:57.258
This is a great question, happens to be all.

00:21:57.278 --> 00:21:58.825
We just had to deal with this we did.

00:21:58.965 --> 00:22:01.073
We were just talking about this and saquon and I.

00:22:01.073 --> 00:22:04.259
You know, saquon came on board with me right after the pandemic 2021.

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:06.564
So he didn't see some of the earlier shows, right.

00:22:06.604 --> 00:22:06.784
Yeah.

00:22:07.170 --> 00:22:10.140
My old ceremony rig was pretty involved.

00:22:10.140 --> 00:22:12.655
It was a fast set table, a pop-up table.

00:22:12.655 --> 00:22:13.759
I had a rack.

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:15.976
Wow, the rack went to a speaker.

00:22:15.976 --> 00:22:17.296
The speaker had to plug into the rack.

00:22:17.296 --> 00:22:19.336
The rack had to be plugged into power, right.

00:22:19.376 --> 00:22:19.739
Crazy.

00:22:20.069 --> 00:22:21.392
Or a whisper quiet or whatever.

00:22:21.392 --> 00:22:28.542
This was like pre-battery powered everything, and so you know we would have these planners go hold, you know, hold on, don't set up.

00:22:28.542 --> 00:22:28.844
Yet.

00:22:28.844 --> 00:22:31.056
You know we're trying to decide if this is going to be inside or outside.

00:22:31.056 --> 00:22:32.403
Chairs or everything are set up.

00:22:32.403 --> 00:22:34.133
You know we're just waiting on the storm.

00:22:34.133 --> 00:22:34.977
Is it coming or not?

00:22:34.977 --> 00:22:36.384
Right, looking at the radar.

00:22:36.384 --> 00:22:40.973
Looking at the radar and she's like we're gonna, you know, make a call five minutes before the ceremony and I'm like no, you're not.

00:22:40.973 --> 00:22:48.203
Yeah, back then I mean it would take me 15, 20 minutes set the shit up and I would be like I can hustle and it's still going to take me 15, 20 minutes.

00:22:48.203 --> 00:22:53.057
Sure, now I can literally pick the whole battery powered rig up yeah, mic, everything and just move it.

00:22:53.057 --> 00:22:57.564
But to answer your question mark, I think you do have to kind of hold to the last minute.

00:22:57.564 --> 00:22:59.330
That's why I love this battery powered stuff.

00:22:59.330 --> 00:23:02.636
I literally have everything clamped to one tripod, right?

00:23:02.636 --> 00:23:05.403
I can pick the entire thing up and walk it to the other position, right?

00:23:05.502 --> 00:23:07.026
Anyway, what's your thoughts on that, Dude?

00:23:07.026 --> 00:23:12.218
I was an early battery-powered adopter, before the speakers ever had them capable of that.

00:23:12.218 --> 00:23:15.452
Yeah, this is going back to let's see when would it have been 2006.

00:23:15.452 --> 00:23:15.452
?

00:23:15.773 --> 00:23:16.134
Damn.

00:23:17.196 --> 00:23:21.272
I mean we're on the beach, we're on the beach all the time and they didn't have anything at that time.

00:23:21.272 --> 00:23:22.576
They didn't have a battery powered speaker.

00:23:22.576 --> 00:23:23.657
So you know how we made it work.

00:23:23.657 --> 00:23:26.743
This is and I didn't want to bring it down a generator because those things were massive.

00:23:26.743 --> 00:23:28.492
No, yeah, this was pre-jackery too.

00:23:28.492 --> 00:23:30.998
So I had the car battery.

00:23:30.998 --> 00:23:32.902
Bro stop, I'm dead serious.

00:23:32.902 --> 00:23:33.951
I brought a car battery.

00:23:33.951 --> 00:23:36.338
I had the converter with the power plug-in.

00:23:36.378 --> 00:23:40.090
That's ac, I mean that's dc it worked and that was how we did.

00:23:40.090 --> 00:23:45.563
It was heavy as all get out, bringing it down to the Not like the one from your actual car, not mine from my own.

00:23:45.710 --> 00:23:49.598
No, I went to the to the, but I went to the auto store place to get one.

00:23:49.598 --> 00:23:51.042
Yeah, and we used to bring that down.

00:23:51.042 --> 00:23:54.815
That used to be my go-to back in the day, cause we needed a battery on the beach.

00:23:54.815 --> 00:23:55.898
I needed it to be quiet.

00:23:55.898 --> 00:24:12.473
The beach is like, even though we're at right, it's just flat right.

00:24:12.473 --> 00:24:14.038
So you have to bring this battery right, so then that's old school.

00:24:14.058 --> 00:24:15.364
The first battery speaker that I remember seeing was done by um.

00:24:15.364 --> 00:24:15.584
Who was it?

00:24:15.584 --> 00:24:17.230
Roland, yeah, and we still use those to this day because they're just workhorses.

00:24:17.230 --> 00:24:23.313
Yeah, and the batteries the other reason why I like it, because we actually we switched to I think it was a swap out battery in there, wasn't it?

00:24:23.353 --> 00:24:25.577
well, it used to be at least your throat, okay, because you keep.

00:24:25.577 --> 00:24:30.435
Yeah, you're burning, you burnt your esophagus, this thing is killing me bro, he burned his esophagus.

00:24:30.476 --> 00:24:32.642
Guys, I don't think I'm gonna make 10, no, I think.

00:24:32.642 --> 00:24:35.640
I think I'm gonna throw in the towel wow, intense.

00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:39.932
Wow, he burnt the esophagus guys anyway they used to make them for now.

00:24:39.932 --> 00:24:44.160
They're marketed at walmart at this point for like uh tailgates.

00:24:44.560 --> 00:24:51.692
They're like an elisa speakers that is who makes them yeah, the problem is you plug them into the wall and just power them here and then you take them out to the beach.

00:24:51.692 --> 00:24:55.272
The problem is I was running into them where they would just go bad, like they'd say 100.

00:24:55.272 --> 00:24:59.791
I get out there there's a 20 left, jesus, and I'm like am I even gonna make it through this ceremony, right?

00:24:59.791 --> 00:25:00.953
So I got rid of that.

00:25:00.953 --> 00:25:05.362
Spent 800, $800 to get this Roland one that takes actually double A batteries.

00:25:05.362 --> 00:25:09.737
Huh, double A's, and I swear by it Still To this day.

00:25:10.298 --> 00:25:11.741
Damn, so take it out there.

00:25:11.741 --> 00:25:14.298
You already know what I'm going to say E versus A.

00:25:14.298 --> 00:25:16.336
Well, these just came out right.

00:25:16.356 --> 00:25:18.876
Right, I got you, but these things have been workhorses.

00:25:18.876 --> 00:25:19.638
They sound great.

00:25:25.250 --> 00:25:25.852
They last like 12 hours.

00:25:25.872 --> 00:25:27.136
There's even a mode on two, not on two batteries, it's six.

00:25:27.136 --> 00:25:32.699
Okay, I'm about to say there ain't no damn way, but I will tell you that there is actually a button on the speaker itself that says max mode or eco mode.

00:25:32.699 --> 00:25:38.156
So if you see you're getting close on the battery, you put it on eco mode and it brings the whole power down a bit.

00:25:38.156 --> 00:25:41.934
Yeah, so that that way you can at least get through the ceremony you had to right.

00:25:42.194 --> 00:25:54.355
But on the back it's got seven or eight channels, it's got an, so literally I could take the whole thing and move it yeah in one right and in florida it can rain in a second that's how I am, mark.

00:25:54.596 --> 00:25:56.380
Mark, I would try and get your gear down.

00:25:56.380 --> 00:25:57.060
I I would.

00:25:57.060 --> 00:25:59.414
I would obey the wishes of the planner.

00:25:59.414 --> 00:26:01.102
I would obey the wishes of the couple.

00:26:01.102 --> 00:26:09.030
Everybody wants to get married outside man, and for you to try and be the person that makes the call on whether it's inside or outside, I would not want to be that person.

00:26:09.030 --> 00:26:11.097
I don't think you're going to get a lot of referrals from doing that.

00:26:11.097 --> 00:26:15.740
I would just let the planner be the go-between between you and the couple and I would try and do what they ask.

00:26:15.869 --> 00:26:22.538
And if you do have more gear than what we're talking about, I would say, look, we're not going to wait until five till six to make this call.

00:26:22.538 --> 00:26:27.285
I'm going to need, you know, 10, 15 minutes, whatever you need, and then if they have to delay it, they have to delay it.

00:26:27.285 --> 00:26:27.885
You know what I mean.

00:26:27.885 --> 00:26:32.492
If they want audio and you need to, you know, move your stuff, like he was saying in the in the chat, a hundred yards.

00:26:32.492 --> 00:26:40.740
Then they're going to need to give you some time for so what's your?

00:26:40.940 --> 00:26:42.181
is your mic battery powered now?

00:26:42.181 --> 00:26:43.741
Everything is so what's your mic?

00:26:43.741 --> 00:26:43.922
What?

00:26:44.162 --> 00:26:44.303
mic.

00:26:44.303 --> 00:26:48.045
Are you using Sennheiser EWDX and it has two mics in one unit.

00:26:48.144 --> 00:26:48.385
And it's.

00:26:48.385 --> 00:26:49.846
Is it a lapel or handheld?

00:26:49.846 --> 00:26:52.575
One of each, One of each or two of each?

00:26:52.575 --> 00:26:53.178
It doesn't matter.

00:26:53.178 --> 00:26:59.012
So for our people, they tend to want to have a lapel because they're holding a script or whatever.

00:26:59.012 --> 00:27:06.958
So my thing was, I went to the best videographer I knew and said hey, listen, since you guys have to do battery powered stuff, what do you suggest?

00:27:06.958 --> 00:27:14.662
And they gave me I believe it's an Audio Technica System 10 is the name of it.

00:27:15.182 --> 00:27:15.823
Battery powered.

00:27:15.823 --> 00:27:19.105
Been using it for years, never have a problem, no cutouts, nothing.

00:27:19.105 --> 00:27:20.586
So everything is battery powered.

00:27:20.586 --> 00:27:25.830
If I need a handheld, roland makes one with that speaker Right so I can pull it out.

00:27:25.830 --> 00:27:30.795
If I've been using that, I haven't because no one's needed it, but there are times when someone's reading a poem a scripture.

00:27:30.815 --> 00:27:32.259
You don't have a reader usually not.

00:27:32.499 --> 00:27:34.071
Yeah, these things are short, they're 15 minutes.

00:27:34.071 --> 00:27:37.401
They're outside, it's hot no one wants to be out there for longer than 20 minutes.

00:27:37.470 --> 00:27:47.984
Yeah, ours are pretty short too, I mean, and there's a lot of like my best friends, the efficient and he got his thing at the life church so he's not going to go into some sermon, yeah or a story, they tell the whole story back.

00:27:48.025 --> 00:27:49.290
Nobody does that out here in the east.

00:27:49.290 --> 00:27:52.420
Northeast they do that a lot really like a long ceremony long ceremony.

00:27:52.420 --> 00:27:54.778
They're telling the whole dating story, how they got engaged.

00:27:54.778 --> 00:27:57.127
That whole thing comes up in the ceremony script.

00:27:57.127 --> 00:28:00.213
I will say this too I think people overthink it, overthink the ceremony.

00:28:00.213 --> 00:28:04.561
They're bringing all these amplifiers and I'm guys like the mics have gotten so much better.

00:28:04.642 --> 00:28:06.545
I'm going to simplify it right.

00:28:06.545 --> 00:28:11.517
Mike Walter, who does more weddings than probably anybody we know Personally, he's in the hundreds.

00:28:11.517 --> 00:28:12.544
He's in the hundreds.

00:28:12.544 --> 00:28:16.651
I think he scaled back the last two years Okay well, he's 2021, 22, 23.

00:28:16.671 --> 00:28:18.652
Yes, he was doing 100 plus yes Himself.

00:28:18.771 --> 00:28:23.012
Yeah, Thousands of weddings done yearly at Elite Entertainment in New Jersey.

00:28:23.012 --> 00:28:25.334
Old boy's got a QSC K12.

00:28:25.334 --> 00:28:30.855
The shit's probably at least 10 to 12 years old and a wired white mic.

00:28:30.855 --> 00:28:33.856
On a white mic stand sitting between the three people.

00:28:33.977 --> 00:28:34.176
Yeah.

00:28:34.356 --> 00:28:38.499
Wired and he's just standing behind the speaker, you know, at the back of the room, wired.

00:28:38.838 --> 00:28:39.898
Wired handheld.

00:28:40.278 --> 00:28:44.840
A wired handheld, okay, that's different and I'm like bro, does anybody give a shit that it's in the pictures and stuff?

00:28:44.840 --> 00:28:47.882
He's like I don't care, Like this is what I'm using, Wow.

00:28:47.882 --> 00:29:02.146
He's like he tells them like, if you want people to hear, this is what I'm using, Right, and I'm telling, if you look at his Instagram, that's like every post he makes, it's like my view of a CK-12 with a wired mic.

00:29:02.146 --> 00:29:04.288
So some people are way over thinking.

00:29:04.288 --> 00:29:07.088
Dude, at one point I had, like I said, a table amp rack.

00:29:07.088 --> 00:29:19.384
I had those goddamn paddle fin antennas, like you see, on the sidelines for an NFL game, for the mic on the referee to chat back to the damn PA for the 80,000 people.

00:29:19.384 --> 00:29:21.635
Like I was way overkill.

00:29:21.635 --> 00:29:22.779
Have you gone to the road?

00:29:22.779 --> 00:29:24.307
I'm not going to the road.

00:29:24.307 --> 00:29:27.236
I'm not going to mics that are content creation mics.

00:29:27.236 --> 00:29:28.057
Have you tried it?

00:29:28.057 --> 00:29:29.201
No, don't need to.

00:29:29.201 --> 00:29:30.482
Ain't got no antennas.

00:29:30.482 --> 00:29:33.295
If you don't have removable antennas, you ain't.

00:29:33.295 --> 00:29:34.759
You're no, you're no friend of Joe.

00:29:35.621 --> 00:29:36.722
Nah are you are you.

00:29:36.722 --> 00:29:41.540
I have used it in a pinch People in the they're, they're using that.

00:29:41.540 --> 00:29:42.542
That ain't it.

00:29:42.542 --> 00:29:43.786
Yeah, it ain't what they're for.

00:29:43.786 --> 00:29:46.332
Sorry, thank you, yeah, thank you.

00:29:46.653 --> 00:29:48.817
Thanks for shopping what else we got?

00:29:48.977 --> 00:29:50.019
nathan jones.

00:29:50.019 --> 00:29:50.961
I had a wedding.

00:29:50.961 --> 00:29:56.018
Nathan jones shout out and the officiant showed up with a bob barker god dang.

00:29:56.018 --> 00:30:02.198
A bob barker type mic that he wanted to use sounded like garbage but he insisted on using it.

00:30:02.198 --> 00:30:05.909
Do you let people use their own equipment to plug in musician, Musician?

00:30:05.909 --> 00:30:11.432
I think he's saying either or Like for example, there's an officiant here that has a countryman you know what a countryman?

00:30:11.492 --> 00:30:13.340
is yeah, yeah, yeah, britney Spears special.

00:30:13.886 --> 00:30:14.873
And hers actually is nice.

00:30:14.873 --> 00:30:17.998
She has a good one, but she will not use anything else.

00:30:17.998 --> 00:30:20.057
Wow, we plug her into our system.

00:30:20.057 --> 00:30:29.435
But you know her, you've worked with her A thousand times.

00:30:29.455 --> 00:30:31.727
But if this is Rando Rando, a random, with like a Bob Barker mic or like a Britney Spears, bobby Brown special.

00:30:31.727 --> 00:30:32.230
Bobby Brown special.

00:30:32.230 --> 00:30:35.575
I mean if they're insistent, you mean a Garth Brooks special, yeah, a.

00:30:35.595 --> 00:30:39.076
Garth man, if they're insistent upon it, I mean, I'm a yes man dude.

00:30:39.170 --> 00:30:39.912
I usually like Detroit.

00:30:39.912 --> 00:30:40.492
Is it just just me?

00:30:40.874 --> 00:30:43.660
I'm burning up, you've got a poncho on and we got the air off.

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:45.442
Now we've been shooting so long.

00:30:45.509 --> 00:30:48.417
It's 81 outside, jeez you have a hat on a stash.

00:30:48.458 --> 00:30:51.252
I'm gonna burn some cows, you've been eating damn salsa for two hours.

00:30:51.252 --> 00:30:51.733
It's all good.

00:30:51.894 --> 00:30:57.972
Anyway, I'm gonna try and make it work yeah, I'll try but even if it sounds like dog shit, you know if it sounds like dog doo-doo?

00:30:57.972 --> 00:30:59.755
No, I would tell them listen, we tried it.

00:30:59.755 --> 00:31:00.856
Yeah, it's cutting out.

00:31:00.856 --> 00:31:02.179
It's not gonna make either one of us look.

00:31:02.179 --> 00:31:04.821
Good, try to paint it so that you both win there you go.

00:31:04.961 --> 00:31:06.824
I've been doing this, this one's going to work.

00:31:06.944 --> 00:31:08.185
I know for a fact I'm the same way Right.

00:31:08.309 --> 00:31:23.898
I'm going to try it, listen to it sound, check it Right and, to be completely honest with you, if they were insistent I'm still going to hold it you know what I would and then let him hold the Bobby Brown and I'm going to run him through the lapel Right.

00:31:23.898 --> 00:31:26.340
I mean not the Bobby Brown, the Bob Barker Is he alive.

00:31:26.340 --> 00:31:28.321
Still Did he pass.

00:31:28.321 --> 00:31:29.722
I think Bob passed.

00:31:29.722 --> 00:31:31.104
Can you look that up?

00:31:31.104 --> 00:31:32.085
Can you look that up, my man?

00:31:32.085 --> 00:31:32.585
Let me see.

00:31:32.585 --> 00:31:34.165
All right, he's looking it up.

00:31:34.686 --> 00:31:39.250
That is, I'm sweating over here, brian does grow a mean mustache.

00:31:39.250 --> 00:31:41.714

Yeah, I got it.

00:32:11.303 --> 00:32:12.592
I'm still reading the check.

00:32:12.592 --> 00:32:16.098
Any new gear you're excited to try out this year?

00:32:16.098 --> 00:32:17.977
Great question, I think.

00:32:17.977 --> 00:32:28.476
This morning, as a matter of fact fact, a new video dropped on my youtube channel um, sound precision about the sennheiser content creation mics called the profile wireless dude.

00:32:28.476 --> 00:32:29.439
Go watch that video.

00:32:29.439 --> 00:32:30.221
They're incredible.

00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:41.240
Oh, and brian's bringing around some gear corner stuff right now, by the way yes, sir and so anyway, yes, I'm super excited about these new content creation mics called the profile wireless.

00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:44.173
He was asking if any gear you're excited about trying out this year.

00:32:44.314 --> 00:32:44.914
No, I don't think so.

00:32:44.914 --> 00:32:46.076
I mean, I tried the 90s.

00:32:46.076 --> 00:32:50.270
Those are good you did, although you did you use mine yeah 90s are great.

00:32:50.270 --> 00:32:54.961
They're a lot like just play to the right room, yeah for the right room.

00:32:55.001 --> 00:32:55.201
They're.

00:32:55.201 --> 00:32:56.753
They're perfect for that that's about it.

00:32:56.753 --> 00:32:58.519
I'm not changing controllers or anything like that.

00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:00.772
Show us what you got, mr gear corner guy.

00:33:00.772 --> 00:33:04.520
Well, this, see, this is where we need that gear.

00:33:04.821 --> 00:33:09.719
Yeah, we need a little stinger there this came in handy this weekend, so I needed some wireless remotes.

00:33:09.719 --> 00:33:14.637
I do not have the e-verse 8s, so I have to use it with just normal speakers and I.

00:33:15.038 --> 00:33:15.941
They wouldn't have worked anyways.

00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:21.901
I'm sorry so usually I use the sennheiser lapel packs, yeah, to run a speaker wirelessly, yeah.

00:33:21.901 --> 00:33:24.213
Yeah, I had two events back to back.

00:33:24.213 --> 00:33:25.397
Are those the lawn guys?

00:33:25.438 --> 00:33:26.133
out there.

00:33:26.133 --> 00:33:28.083
Yeah, yeah, are you hearing that through the headphones?

00:33:28.083 --> 00:33:32.521
Okay somebody's out there blowing leaves, sorry guys so, anyway, I ran out of batteries.

00:33:32.943 --> 00:33:33.547
I couldn't believe it.

00:33:33.547 --> 00:33:38.150
I didn't have any extra batteries, I had enough to get me through, but I was like worried that I was gonna need to switch them out.

00:33:38.150 --> 00:33:39.311
So, no, double a.

00:33:39.311 --> 00:33:40.473
I didn't have any extra on me.

00:33:40.473 --> 00:33:43.298
You got all this shit every week and you and I just I.

00:33:43.298 --> 00:33:45.941
I had two boxes and they were, I guess, next to.

00:33:45.941 --> 00:33:48.765
I don't usually fill them in, I have my roadie do it, bro, real quick.

00:33:48.826 --> 00:33:50.717
So Me and Saquon showed up at the gig last week.

00:33:50.717 --> 00:33:52.517
No freaking gaff tape.

00:33:52.517 --> 00:33:56.148
The planner that I'd loaned it to at the previous wedding stole that shit.

00:33:56.148 --> 00:33:59.152
Wow, $30, three inch black pro gaff.

00:33:59.152 --> 00:33:59.692
So what'd you do?

00:33:59.692 --> 00:34:04.635
We just spit on it, okay?

00:34:04.635 --> 00:34:07.817
No, we were on a stage, luckily, so there was no foot traffic Right.

00:34:07.817 --> 00:34:09.659
That's where these come in handy, okay.

00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:11.019
These are Sennheiser as well.

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:13.001
Yeah, these have to be close by.

00:34:13.282 --> 00:34:15.063
I have a love-hate relationship with these.

00:34:15.063 --> 00:34:16.043
They got to be close by.

00:34:16.063 --> 00:34:30.860
That's the key they do, but in a pinch they're USB-C, I know no interference.

00:34:31.121 --> 00:34:31.744
What are they called?

00:34:32.186 --> 00:34:33.090
I was just gonna pull that up.

00:34:33.230 --> 00:34:35.760
I think it's dildo dongle it's called um?

00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:38.994
I don't think it's called dildo dongle, never mind, sorry, that's wrong.

00:34:38.994 --> 00:34:40.557
Different, different product yeah, different product.

00:34:40.577 --> 00:34:46.737
This is the sennheiser xswd wireless digital xlr base set is what it's called.

00:34:46.737 --> 00:34:47.438
What do they go for?

00:34:47.438 --> 00:34:49.123
Oh, because you can get this on amazon.

00:34:49.184 --> 00:35:02.336
Yeah, let me hold them up, you can't get them on yeah, uh, I think these are like 199 for the pair, 319, that's a little pricey, too much, but to have it as a backup right back up big, but you better be close all right, one more.

00:35:02.496 --> 00:35:05.525
Okay, bob hickman, jesus dropped it.

00:35:05.525 --> 00:35:07.690
This is a content light.

00:35:07.690 --> 00:35:11.726
Okay, it's also magnetic, so you can stack multiple ones on top of one another.

00:35:11.726 --> 00:35:15.277
Okay, I think I saw justin the dj post one where he clips onto his laptop.

00:35:15.277 --> 00:35:22.239
I didn't want it clipped onto my laptop, so this goes on the dj table facing up, yeah, kind of tilted towards your face.

00:35:22.300 --> 00:35:24.525
Wash your face, yes, and you can crank it.

00:35:24.525 --> 00:35:27.304
And he's got different yes aperture, all of that.

00:35:27.324 --> 00:35:29.271
I forgot what they call it, the diffuser.

00:35:29.271 --> 00:35:31.818
I'm curious what you think this is going to go for I know this company.

00:35:31.858 --> 00:35:44.927
They just, actually this company reached out to me, did they, and sent me some stuff to shoot knee were knee were yeah, this thing's um I think it's 1999 on the nose no 1919 I was 80 cents off.

00:35:45.027 --> 00:35:46.992
It's a deal right now, literally today.

00:35:46.992 --> 00:35:48.036
So 19 bucks.

00:35:48.036 --> 00:35:49.760
But can you for a light?

00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:50.782
no, 19 bucks.

00:35:50.782 --> 00:35:52.364
Yeah, usbc charge it.

00:35:52.364 --> 00:35:53.246
Change the aperture or not.

00:35:53.246 --> 00:35:56.893
The aperture, the brightness change the aperture, the brightness change the temperature Right.

00:35:57.034 --> 00:35:59.643
This is pretty cool and you can stack multiple ones on top of one another.

00:35:59.755 --> 00:36:00.780
Yeah, they reached out to me.

00:36:00.780 --> 00:36:03.163
They sent me a little thing from Pocket Osmo 3.

00:36:03.163 --> 00:36:03.965
That's amazing.

00:36:03.965 --> 00:36:05.121
So, yeah, I just got it.

00:36:05.121 --> 00:36:05.987
English wasn't great.

00:36:06.114 --> 00:36:08.704
Shout out Bob Hickman, who I think actually got that from Bird.

00:36:15.135 --> 00:36:15.981
So yeah, hi Kevin, we're drinking Coronas.

00:36:15.981 --> 00:36:16.443
I mean as well Light.

00:36:16.443 --> 00:36:17.914
I'm trying to stay on the no sugar, no starch plan.

00:36:17.914 --> 00:36:21.476
I'm just kind of sipping on it every year, allegedly, allegedly.

00:36:21.476 --> 00:36:23.864
It's been going fine Day five.

00:36:23.864 --> 00:36:26.961
Pray for me If you've ever tried to quit sugar like cold.

00:36:27.001 --> 00:36:27.985
Turkey, please.

00:36:27.985 --> 00:36:28.858
Best DJ in Utah?

00:36:28.858 --> 00:36:30.003
Just gave us a little question up there.

00:36:30.003 --> 00:36:32.523
This dude's good man, he just comes up with a good stuff.

00:36:41.775 --> 00:36:42.056
He's good man.

00:36:42.056 --> 00:36:42.798
He just comes with the good stuff.

00:36:42.818 --> 00:36:43.420
He's good this, this kid's good.

00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:44.965
Is there anything, professionally or personal, you have left to do you?

00:36:44.985 --> 00:36:45.206
go personal.

00:36:45.206 --> 00:36:46.150
I'll start personal, personal run a marathon.

00:36:46.150 --> 00:36:46.492
You've done that.

00:36:46.492 --> 00:36:46.833
Absolutely not.

00:36:46.833 --> 00:36:47.293
Don't want to personal.

00:36:47.293 --> 00:36:50.871
I need to see, like one of my favorite bands at red rocks I got I would put this on the.

00:36:50.871 --> 00:36:56.927
I still have things on my bucket list much, much, much more traveling, especially after that Iceland and Paris success this year.

00:36:57.255 --> 00:36:59.483
I want to see my sons grow old.

00:36:59.483 --> 00:37:03.505
I want to see my sons be successful, fall in love, get married.

00:37:03.505 --> 00:37:05.141
I'd love to be a grandparent.

00:37:05.141 --> 00:37:12.039
Wow, I think that would be the coolest thing, because it's a returnable child, that's true, but then you've officially like crossed over at that point.

00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:12.880
Really you can't.

00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:14.983
Granddad, you're going to go with a name.

00:37:14.983 --> 00:37:16.266
You're going to go Pappy.

00:37:16.266 --> 00:37:17.548
Nah, you're going to go Papa.

00:37:17.849 --> 00:37:19.952
Nah, granddaddy, granddad, something like that.

00:37:19.974 --> 00:37:21.074
Wow, that's what my kids call my dad.

00:37:21.735 --> 00:37:23.081
Think about how cool my dad was.

00:37:23.081 --> 00:37:27.818
He wasn't like an old-ass granddad.

00:37:27.818 --> 00:37:29.280
That's true.

00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:29.920
He was bun.

00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:36.105
Gear, especially now that it is an American-based company, can be a really big thing.

00:37:36.105 --> 00:37:38.126
I think I can be much more innovative here.

00:37:38.126 --> 00:37:41.108
I'm getting ready to come out with a booth under $1,000.

00:37:41.108 --> 00:37:42.190
No more clothes.

00:37:42.190 --> 00:37:46.619
No more clothes, no more pocket squares no more pocket squares, no more bad ideas.

00:37:47.277 --> 00:37:48.561
You're going straight gear, straight gear.

00:37:48.561 --> 00:37:51.625
It seems like you have been in the furniture space.

00:37:51.625 --> 00:37:53.842
Are you going outside of that and doing other?

00:37:54.043 --> 00:37:55.103
No, I have been in the furniture space.

00:37:55.103 --> 00:37:56.344
Are you going outside of that and doing other.

00:37:56.364 --> 00:37:58.606
no, I don't want to get into anything electronic.

00:37:58.606 --> 00:38:01.088
I think there's a big you know clearly a return problem with stuff like that.

00:38:01.088 --> 00:38:06.195
Yeah, I want to make things that people can use, that they're proud of, that makes them look better.

00:38:06.195 --> 00:38:11.576
I have, you know, 10 ideas in the cube for people that own command centers, accessories for that.

00:38:11.576 --> 00:38:15.266
I mean, there's almost a thousand command centers around the world, mostly in the United States.

00:38:15.266 --> 00:38:20.507
Okay, I'm going to make a budget more of a pop-up type booth Shout out, drew Pierce, shout out, drew Pierce.

00:38:20.507 --> 00:38:27.681
I'm going to make a bunch of stuff, man, and it's all made in the United States, in fact, made in North Carolina, shipped out of North Carolina, and I'm super proud.

00:38:27.681 --> 00:38:29.557
What's your goal?

00:38:29.597 --> 00:38:30.780
quarter one a quarter.

00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:38.692
Yeah, the overseas thing was very difficult, man, as you can imagine, to get it back six months later and it's not, and it's wrong.

00:38:38.692 --> 00:38:42.661
Take six months to get the next one is wrong, like that's why I haven't put the gig desk out.

00:38:42.661 --> 00:38:48.166
I showed it in august and I, you know, had all these flaws and I showed it anyway and we still haven't made it because it wasn't right.

00:38:48.166 --> 00:38:50.981
Right and I'm just not putting out like bullshit product.

00:38:51.061 --> 00:38:51.822
I will never do that.

00:38:51.822 --> 00:38:53.505
I don't put up bullshit DJ shows.

00:38:53.505 --> 00:38:55.248
I'm not putting out bullshit gear Ever.

00:38:55.248 --> 00:38:55.896
What about?

00:38:56.217 --> 00:38:56.938
playing a show.

00:38:56.938 --> 00:38:59.246
Any professional milestones no.

00:39:00.057 --> 00:39:02.940
I would love to play before I get truly old old.

00:39:02.940 --> 00:39:08.036
I would love to play one really big show and I feel like I've exhausted my contacts at Ticketmaster.

00:39:08.036 --> 00:39:08.757
I'm sorry, at Live.

00:39:08.797 --> 00:39:09.378
Nation I.

00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:11.860
I just want to open, for I don't care.

00:39:11.860 --> 00:39:19.849
I don't care if it's Sabrina Carpenter or Sam Hunt, and I want to play 30 minutes on a big stage in front of 20,000 at an entertainment theater.

00:39:19.849 --> 00:39:21.911
Like I want to play one really big show.

00:39:21.911 --> 00:39:23.896
I want to shoot it well.

00:39:23.896 --> 00:39:28.228
I want to feel what that feeling is of like what does a rock star feel at the end of a show?

00:39:28.228 --> 00:39:31.945
Plan it well, play it perfectly and just get that love.

00:39:32.146 --> 00:39:36.028
But that's a different kind of show because you're not getting people to really dance, necessarily no but you.

00:39:36.108 --> 00:39:39.271
But if you, if they put you on at the right time, you can not it.

00:39:39.271 --> 00:39:43.596
You know, when the sun is still blazing and people are showing in the stadium you know you're not.

00:39:43.655 --> 00:39:47.666
You're sitting in box seats, bro, you went.

00:39:47.666 --> 00:39:51.657
I mean maybe like show did, yeah, pipes fucking killed that yeah he did.

00:39:51.757 --> 00:39:54.061
He destroyed that place and he played it perfectly.

00:39:54.061 --> 00:39:54.623
He played don perfectly.

00:39:54.623 --> 00:39:57.289
He played Don't Stop Believing and things that me and you play all the time.

00:39:57.289 --> 00:40:00.623
But there were people there from 8 to 70.

00:40:00.623 --> 00:40:01.405
You know what I mean.

00:40:01.405 --> 00:40:03.500
He's still on tour with Justin.

00:40:03.500 --> 00:40:04.523
He's obviously doing a good job.

00:40:04.523 --> 00:40:05.659
He's been all over the world with him.

00:40:05.659 --> 00:40:08.023
He hit me up the other day about a backpack.

00:40:08.023 --> 00:40:09.536
He goes do you know anybody at Jetpack?

00:40:09.536 --> 00:40:11.099
I go yeah, I know plenty of people and I go.

00:40:11.099 --> 00:40:11.920
Here's the guy's number.

00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:15.144
So make sure you tell him who you are and like, like what you're doing.

00:40:15.304 --> 00:40:18.349
Cause he wanted a rush a rush order because he's going back out.

00:40:18.349 --> 00:40:19.710
Yeah, I don't want to go on tour.

00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:28.121
I don't want to leave town.

00:40:28.121 --> 00:40:30.182
I want to play one big show before I'm dead.

00:40:30.182 --> 00:40:30.762
How about you, man?

00:40:30.762 --> 00:40:34.885
I don't know from a playing perspective of a tour, but I would love to go to Asia and do an.

00:40:34.885 --> 00:40:37.829
Asia tour Philippines, vietnam.

00:40:38.068 --> 00:40:40.971
China, hong Kong all those spots.

00:40:41.331 --> 00:40:48.836
I have been to Tokyo but I've never played in Tokyo.

00:40:48.836 --> 00:40:51.262
I just love the culture, I love the food, I love everything about it and I've never been one to go after that.

00:40:51.262 --> 00:40:56.818
I feel like from a private event DJ standpoint I don't know anybody who has Clubs, no problem.

00:40:56.818 --> 00:41:01.539
But from a private event standpoint, I haven't seen anybody pull the Asia card and that's on my list.

00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:04.780
Yeah, vice definitely goes over there a lot, but it's clubs and stuff, right?

00:41:04.981 --> 00:41:06.025
And even for corporates.

00:41:06.025 --> 00:41:12.119
I don't see a lot of corporates pulling people in to go to Asia, europe all the time Yep, caribbean, no problem, but going to Asia, I haven't seen time.

00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:14.380
Yep, caribbean, no problem, but going to Asia, I haven't seen that Yep.

00:41:14.380 --> 00:41:17.824
And then, personally, gosh, that's a great question.

00:41:17.824 --> 00:41:23.588
I think similar to you man, like I've traveled a lot, yeah, but I think I want to see it through the lens of the kiddo.

00:41:23.588 --> 00:41:26.010
As a kid, my world was really small.

00:41:26.271 --> 00:41:27.434
Mine too Mine too.

00:41:27.454 --> 00:41:30.621
Southern California is where I lived, but we went to Vegas and that was pretty much it.

00:41:30.621 --> 00:41:31.262
You know what I mean.

00:41:31.262 --> 00:41:31.684
Like we never.

00:41:31.684 --> 00:41:40.626
First time I went to Miami is when I was working for Pioneer and I was like, oh my gosh, this is incredible, and I just was like obsessed with going to as many places in the US as I could.

00:41:40.626 --> 00:41:45.822
So I definitely want to give my kid that experience of that, because I did a terrible job.

00:41:46.356 --> 00:41:47.862
I think that's a great call.

00:41:47.862 --> 00:41:52.963
My parents did not travel Passports because we went to the Bahamas one time and we went to Mexico one time.

00:41:52.963 --> 00:41:54.788
Yeah, my mom's never been to Europe.

00:41:54.788 --> 00:41:55.528
I begged her.

00:41:55.528 --> 00:41:58.179
I said, let's just me and you go, like I'll plan the whole thing.

00:41:58.179 --> 00:41:59.418
I have no desire to go.

00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:00.302
Yeah, she don't want to go.

00:42:00.302 --> 00:42:03.445
Well, it's at that age, walking around for a long time.

00:42:04.076 --> 00:42:07.483
My mom is mobile, though man and my dad was until cancer.

00:42:14.855 --> 00:42:15.456
Like he, you know 10 miles.

00:42:15.456 --> 00:42:15.918
I mean it was mobile.

00:42:15.938 --> 00:42:17.764
I almost think it's in your family dna though, that whole routine idea it is.

00:42:17.764 --> 00:42:18.407
They're very routine.

00:42:18.407 --> 00:42:18.929
Yeah, they were all they.

00:42:18.929 --> 00:42:20.775
My mom still is even without my dad, it's.

00:42:20.775 --> 00:42:25.123
It's unbelievable in the dna how routine we are.

00:42:25.123 --> 00:42:26.867
Do you ever get choked up on the?

00:42:26.867 --> 00:42:28.217
Uh, like father-daughter dance?

00:42:28.237 --> 00:42:29.298
I did this weekend.

00:42:29.298 --> 00:42:31.704
Oh, I don't remember the song.

00:42:31.704 --> 00:42:33.956
It was something I hadn't heard and it.

00:42:33.976 --> 00:42:35.702
Just it got me Really.

00:42:35.702 --> 00:42:37.286
Yeah, actually it was a mother.

00:42:37.286 --> 00:42:39.282
Do you think about when your daughter yeah.

00:42:39.503 --> 00:42:41.202
I do, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to hold it together.

00:42:41.202 --> 00:42:42.028
No, you're not.

00:42:42.028 --> 00:42:43.719
And actually this couple did a.

00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:47.820
The one on Saturday did a mother daughter dance, yeah, and that was just as powerful.

00:42:47.820 --> 00:42:55.898
I was like, yeah, it was just like good.

00:42:55.898 --> 00:42:56.481
And I was like, oh.

00:42:56.481 --> 00:43:00.538
So yeah, those are tough, but I think it actually humanizes you, right, like I don't know of course it means you give a shit.

00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:09.815
I mean, I mean I don't want to be up there weeping, but like I never got told you like now the go-to song seems to be joy of my life and that was like my sister, my dad loved that song, dude.

00:43:09.815 --> 00:43:15.507
We played it for their first dance last night or something night I was like, oh God, I'm fully turned around.

00:43:15.507 --> 00:43:16.449
Back to the audience.

00:43:17.076 --> 00:43:21.157
Like there's a bug on the wall or something I don't know man there's just.

00:43:21.297 --> 00:43:26.244
You know, randy has no kids and he's a crier during the first dance for the father-daughter dance sometimes.

00:43:26.574 --> 00:43:29.684
I don't remember ever getting to that point until I had a kid.

00:43:30.797 --> 00:43:41.402
That makes a lot of sense, I've definitely heard toast and felt that way.

00:43:41.402 --> 00:43:42.440
I've definitely um done shows, felt that way.

00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:43.996
Mitch did a show last weekend and I just saw the pictures and I damn near got choked up.

00:43:43.996 --> 00:43:45.563
Both of them had down syndrome, you know how functioning, but like they, they got.

00:43:45.563 --> 00:43:47.530
They found each other in this great big world.

00:43:47.530 --> 00:43:50.097
These two couples I mean this couple found each other.

00:43:50.097 --> 00:43:51.478
I would have gotten choked up.

00:43:51.619 --> 00:43:54.365
I mean just I, I think those people are the sweetest people.

00:43:54.425 --> 00:44:11.278
Anyway, I always love to meet him, I always love to talk to him, but like I saw the pic he told me about it and I saw the picture I was like, bro, I, there's no way there was like a dating show yeah, that was that oh interesting, like I don't know like a dating show, just yeah, but it was all people who had down syndrome yeah, and oh, I could.

00:44:11.318 --> 00:44:13.083
I'm like how can people watch this week to week?

00:44:13.143 --> 00:44:14.947
I'd be like a mess, I'd be a wreck.

00:44:14.947 --> 00:44:18.152
I know there's a special place in heaven for those people.

00:44:18.152 --> 00:44:24.668
Man, every conversation I've ever heard had with somebody with down syndrome, no matter what degree of it, it was right like I left being like maybe they got it figured.

00:44:24.688 --> 00:44:31.204
You know, they got it figured out like they, they've accepted it, they're, they're working or wherever I need them, restaurants, target, whatever it's like.

00:44:31.204 --> 00:44:34.108
I wouldn't have made it to that wedding, there's no way.

00:44:34.108 --> 00:44:35.150
That's a tough one.

00:44:35.150 --> 00:44:38.744
What's the most emotional you've ever got at an event?

00:44:38.744 --> 00:44:39.505
I have one.

00:44:39.766 --> 00:44:40.126
I know it.

00:44:40.695 --> 00:44:43.177
I remember it like it was yesterday, 15 years ago.

00:44:43.177 --> 00:44:49.818
I remember it was our old, old office, not this building, not the last building, not the last building, but the first building we were in.

00:44:49.818 --> 00:44:51.760
It was on Atlantic Avenue, by that Bojangles.

00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:53.782
I was walking out 5 o'clock on a Friday.

00:44:53.782 --> 00:44:55.724
I didn't have a gig Friday, phone rings.

00:44:55.724 --> 00:45:02.971
This was back when everybody had like an office line Phone rings and I was like man, damn it, pick it up and it's a lady.

00:45:03.012 --> 00:45:10.460
She's in a panic, she's in Harnick County, which is I don't know how far.

00:45:10.460 --> 00:45:16.608
It is an hour's halloween or the, you know let's call it two or three days before we're supposed to have a dance for all these adults.

00:45:16.608 --> 00:45:19.215
They were adults and the dj just bailed on me.

00:45:19.215 --> 00:45:21.121
Oh, this is in at seven o'clock.

00:45:21.402 --> 00:45:28.340
Let's say it's five now, and yeah and this is back when I had three djs and I was just like what, like name one reason why I shouldn't go do that?

00:45:28.340 --> 00:45:30.103
And I think she was like I have a hundred dollars.

00:45:30.103 --> 00:45:33.327
I was like, oh, I'll be there, I'll be there in one hour.

00:45:33.327 --> 00:45:38.240
I mean, I just like literally just walked out, threw a few things in the car and went and did this show.

00:45:38.240 --> 00:45:42.726
It wasn't kids, it was adults and young adults, so let's say, 20 to 40 years old.

00:45:42.726 --> 00:45:58.940
Their excitement level over this party and me DJing and playing these line dances and YMCA and all the other kind of sing along and do the dancing Dude, I literally played half the show facing the wall, crying.

00:45:59.141 --> 00:45:59.320
Like.

00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:01.262
I was like what if I had not come?

00:46:01.262 --> 00:46:04.565
What if I had not done this party?

00:46:04.565 --> 00:46:07.246
How messed up would this have been?

00:46:07.487 --> 00:46:08.047
You know what I mean.

00:46:08.088 --> 00:46:10.630
Like how shitty would this party have been.

00:46:10.630 --> 00:46:21.054
How upset would these kids have been that they didn't get to have this and it dude it forever changed me man like I.

00:46:21.054 --> 00:46:22.461
I think they try to pay me like I don't need I'm good, like hundred dollars ain't gonna make or break me.

00:46:22.461 --> 00:46:25.177
Put it towards the association or whatever it's just mine was this year actually really.

00:46:25.177 --> 00:46:30.159
Yeah, that tim tebow oh, the tim tebow, because it was, uh, basically all special needs kids.

00:46:30.481 --> 00:46:31.664
I think they'd never had a prom.

00:46:31.664 --> 00:46:37.302
So these kids are coming up, and not just kids, they're talking about people in their 20s, 30s and even 40s who've never had that.

00:46:37.302 --> 00:46:43.181
And to have that adulation, people cheering them on as they're being crowned Ugh Tearjerker.

00:46:43.181 --> 00:46:46.699
So, yeah, that would be it Well man, let's wrap it.
