Immigrant Ingenuity and DJ Dilemmas: Navigating Long Toasts
Handshakes, heritage stories, and handling awkward reception moments take center stage as Joe Bunn and Brian B share valuable insights for DJs navigating the professional and personal side of event entertainment.
The conversation kicks off with a discussion about making strong first impressions. Joe shares his father's wisdom about proper handshakes—never the dreaded "dead fish"—and the importance of introducing yourself with both first and last names in professional settings. This segues naturally into when DJs should use their stage names versus their legal names depending on the context and audience.
The hosts then dive into nostalgic territory, sharing stories about paper routes and work ethic from their younger days. Brian reveals a fascinating tidbit about his Italian immigrant grandfather who, unable to afford an alarm clock, had a friend wake him for his paper route by pulling a string tied to his toe from outside the building. These stories of determination and resourcefulness connect beautifully to the perseverance required in professional DJ careers.
Perhaps most valuable is their candid discussion about handling difficult situations at events, specifically addressing the delicate matter of overly long wedding toasts. When a father of the bride launches into a 30-minute (or even hour-long) speech while dinner gets cold and the dance floor sits empty, what's the ethical approach? The hosts provide practical strategies for managing timing while respecting family dynamics, including getting advance permission to intervene and tactful ways to conclude speeches without embarrassment.
Between personal anecdotes and practical advice, Joe and Brian also cover equipment maintenance tips, sharing specific products for properly cleaning screens and electronics without damaging expensive gear. Their recommendations could save DJs hundreds or thousands in preventable equipment damage.

00:00:37.057 --> 00:00:41.393
Alright, then you alright then you alright, then how are you, man?
00:00:41.414 --> 00:00:42.320
I'm doing great.
00:00:42.981 --> 00:00:44.125
When you introduce yourself.
00:00:44.125 --> 00:00:51.930
One of my dad's big things was when you introduce yourself and you shake number one, shake their hand, and not that dead fish shit.
00:00:51.930 --> 00:00:53.402
Somebody gave me a dead fish the other day.
00:00:53.402 --> 00:00:54.426
I hate it.
00:00:54.426 --> 00:00:55.728
I remember who it was.
00:00:55.728 --> 00:00:56.270
Don't say it.
00:00:56.270 --> 00:00:57.213
Don't say it, don't say it.
00:00:57.213 --> 00:01:00.210
He dead fished me, but a proper handshake.
00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:07.325
And then you always say your last name, so I and then, um, you always say your last name, so I always say hey, nice to meet you.
00:01:07.346 --> 00:01:09.111
I'm joe bunn yeah, do you say I'm brian b or do you say I'm brian?
00:01:09.111 --> 00:01:17.640
Bonus depends on, like brian depends on the on the audience I feel like it's djs you can do that because you have two it's only one syllable.
00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:18.762
Yeah, two syllables.
00:01:18.781 --> 00:01:29.322
Joe bunn, you wouldn't pull a brian bonus cc if it's a formal setting, I'm going to see a CEO of some major corporation who's going to spend a lot of money on me or whatever.
00:01:29.322 --> 00:01:29.903
I would do that.
00:01:30.084 --> 00:01:31.947
Yeah, what about a high-end wedding planner?
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:33.807
No, because it's kind of in the DJ world.
00:01:33.807 --> 00:01:39.888
So the only time I ever say Brian B is in the DJ space, just because what about an American born Italian?
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:41.141
Is that an Italian name?
00:01:41.542 --> 00:01:42.602
Maybe Is that an Italian name?
00:01:42.602 --> 00:01:45.307
Maybe, maybe, maybe, jesus.
00:01:46.207 --> 00:01:51.415
Speaking of, I just had to go through and delete all of my data out of 23andMe because they went bankrupt.
00:01:51.415 --> 00:01:53.980
Did you see this, 23andMe?
00:01:53.980 --> 00:01:54.662
I don't even know what.
00:01:54.662 --> 00:01:57.590
That is the genetic thing where you send in your where you swab yourself and send it in.
00:01:57.611 --> 00:01:58.111
I did do that.
00:01:59.063 --> 00:02:01.462
Yeah, they went bankrupt, so now your data is corrupted.
00:02:01.641 --> 00:02:05.084
You need to Google how to like wow, your stuff, okay, Cause they're going to sell it.
00:02:05.084 --> 00:02:06.126
They're going to sell it?
00:02:06.146 --> 00:02:07.046
How did you delete?
00:02:07.046 --> 00:02:11.352
It you have to go in the settings and like, like, tell them to burn it and like, delete all your data.
00:02:11.431 --> 00:02:12.993
Yeah, this just happened, yeah.
00:02:13.334 --> 00:02:15.757
It just reminded me of that when you said like cause I was like.
00:02:15.757 --> 00:02:30.688
You know, I wanted like a european, like hodgepodge of irish and english, just yeah, anybody with no top lip, like all those countries you want to tell you a funny story, though this is.
00:02:30.729 --> 00:02:32.102
This is pretty good kind of ties in.
00:02:32.102 --> 00:02:38.705
So my grandfather is actually first generation italian that was born in america basically actually no, he was born in italy.
00:02:38.705 --> 00:02:44.167
They brought him over okay right, he was one of nine kids, so they didn't have a lot of money.
00:02:44.167 --> 00:02:53.448
I mean, they were immigrants, right, so like they were, came here just trying to make a life, the whole family, the whole family came over All nine, all nine Plus the parents, and he was number nine, oh wow.
00:02:53.520 --> 00:03:00.366
So what was crazy was he had to do work, he had to work as a kid and back then they a paper route.
00:03:00.366 --> 00:03:00.987
Did you ever do a paper?
00:03:01.008 --> 00:03:01.187
route.
00:03:01.187 --> 00:03:07.612
Yeah, I did a paper route, okay, but I think I made my mom carry me and just whipped him out the back window and out of a viewing.
00:03:07.772 --> 00:03:10.435
I mean I did both, I did one, I did the bike and the car.
00:03:10.435 --> 00:03:11.675
Yeah, and the car.
00:03:11.675 --> 00:03:18.100
I always hated the sunday ones, right, because those sundays ones were full all the ads 3 000 pounds and then you get those people who are like, hey, can you porch it?
00:03:18.421 --> 00:03:20.024
and you'd have to like you know, out of the car.
00:03:20.063 --> 00:03:24.731
Oh, no, I would throw, throw it as hard as I could at that door and be like you want your porch to paper.
00:03:24.731 --> 00:03:26.574
Here it is Smash the door.
00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:35.270
But my grandfather did a paper route as a kid, okay, and he couldn't afford an alarm clock, and where he was was on the second or third floor of the house.
00:03:35.270 --> 00:03:44.403
So what he did was he pushed his bed towards the window, okay, and he tied a string around his big toe Is this made up Totally?
00:03:44.403 --> 00:03:46.006
And he tied a string around his big toe Is this made up Totally serious?
00:03:46.006 --> 00:03:53.854
Okay, and it went down to the literally as long as it would go to the ground outside, okay, and so his buddy, who was a little bit better off, had an alarm clock.
00:03:53.854 --> 00:03:57.885
Once he would wake up, he would wake up my grandfather by pulling his toe.
00:03:57.926 --> 00:04:01.048
Stop it bro, that was how he woke up to go do the paper route in the morning.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.145
Wow, that's crazy ingenuity, right like back then, that is a great story.
00:04:08.145 --> 00:04:09.989
If it's true that's a great immigrant story, I love it.
00:04:09.989 --> 00:04:10.670
This is in new york.
00:04:11.151 --> 00:04:12.882
This was in, uh, california somewhere.
00:04:12.882 --> 00:04:15.389
Yeah, that's wild, is that crazy.
00:04:15.389 --> 00:04:16.920
I was like I would never have thought of that.
00:04:17.021 --> 00:04:24.249
But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do you gotta do what you gotta do right paper route wow the thing about the paper route too is you don't get days off.
00:04:24.329 --> 00:04:25.612
The news comes every day.
00:04:25.713 --> 00:04:39.809
That's a great point you know yeah and so, and it's raining some days yeah we did do that, I think we lived in colorado for a little while and, uh, my dad, we did this part-time, yeah, and but we would do the mornings, yeah, because they also had the afternoon papers that you could do.
00:04:39.809 --> 00:04:51.103
Remember that they used to do an afternoon cycle of papers and then they had the mornings yeah so the mornings sometimes the news would take a while because they were like last minute stories yeah printing would take longer, sure.
00:04:51.343 --> 00:04:54.232
So we're sitting there, like you know, 4, 30, 5 o'clock in the morning.
00:04:54.232 --> 00:04:58.788
We gotta be out of there by 5 30, but they haven't brought the papers in because they're still printing it printing at that point.
00:04:58.788 --> 00:05:04.749
Yeah, the machine, yeah and then they bring it and you gotta, you got your own little cubicle and you're folding them all putting the rubber band.
00:05:04.829 --> 00:05:06.572
Oh yeah, the rain, I forgot about that.
00:05:06.593 --> 00:05:09.709
Yeah, or in Colorado it snowed yeah, so you always had to bag it.
00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:11.548
I'm like I hate the bags, yeah, oh, dude.
00:05:12.141 --> 00:05:13.807
And now kids don't have no idea what this is.
00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:15.721
No concept of even the paper.
00:05:15.721 --> 00:05:19.783
Right Isn't that crazy.
00:05:19.863 --> 00:05:24.286

And if that's not a hard enough sell, I don't know what is All right.
00:06:13.125 --> 00:06:14.769
Back to the episode before.
00:06:14.769 --> 00:06:18.449
Joe tries to convince us that sweet Caroline is actually a banger.
00:06:18.449 --> 00:06:20.035
So I got a gear segment for you.
00:06:20.035 --> 00:06:20.557
Okay.
00:06:20.557 --> 00:06:25.430
So I get asked us a lot about cleaning our equipment and I think I shared that pink stuff with you before.
00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:26.720
Yeah, the pink stuff is gold.
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.788
By the way, the pink stuff is in Publix and Harris Teeter and stuff.
00:06:29.889 --> 00:06:31.947
Oh it is, you don't have to get it at Amazon necessarily.
00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:33.466
I did see it in the grocery store the other day.
00:06:33.586 --> 00:06:38.168
Okay, the other question I get now is with Macs, with computers, what do you use to wipe your screen?
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.531
And then the juice, if you will, the spray.
00:06:46.531 --> 00:06:50.785
At one point it was called apple juice and I guess they got sued.
00:06:50.805 --> 00:06:51.608
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
00:06:52.019 --> 00:06:54.769
I don't know exactly what it's called now I could probably go get it.
00:06:54.769 --> 00:07:09.346
But if you probably still Google apple juice and it was a little spray bottle, kind of like you clean your glasses with, and I would just hit the rag again a microfiber a couple of times and then wipe down the screen of microfiber a couple times and then wipe down the screen.
00:07:09.367 --> 00:07:09.809
What are you doing now?
00:07:09.809 --> 00:07:10.612
You're still doing that apple juice.
00:07:10.612 --> 00:07:11.817
This is actually, I gotta shout out, drew pierce.
00:07:11.817 --> 00:07:17.050
This is his recommendation, so this is called miracle wipes or electronics for electronics.
00:07:17.050 --> 00:07:18.192
That's the clutch move.
00:07:18.192 --> 00:07:18.961
You don't get the.
00:07:18.961 --> 00:07:25.101
They have some general stuff that juice does have a little bit, but it just is a pop-off and then it's got like the little white.
00:07:25.101 --> 00:07:27.065
Yeah, would have a mini wipe.
00:07:27.185 --> 00:07:31.192
Speaking of Saquon, did we ever clean this screen up here?
00:07:31.533 --> 00:07:32.334
Yeah, feel free.
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:37.666
We might, because at some point Saquon does a lot of recording here at night.
00:07:37.706 --> 00:07:38.548
It was a late night.
00:07:38.569 --> 00:07:44.127
They make records and I was like I don't know if somebody got super excited about this screen and thought it was like a giant touchscreen.
00:07:44.127 --> 00:07:45.447
But, I walked in one morning.
00:07:45.447 --> 00:07:48.250
It was like a child had had their hands all over it.
00:07:48.331 --> 00:07:51.072
Wow, I was like bro, what happened in here last night?
00:07:51.612 --> 00:08:09.242
I think somebody thought it was a touchscreen and I just they got too excited about the beat I was making or something, and we're trying to fix it or point to something, and you know when it's all blacked out right, and you just see every fingerprint so these are going to come in handy for this, let's say, 9.99 16 bucks yeah, 16 bucks 15.97.
00:08:09.742 --> 00:08:11.326
But this lasts you all season.
00:08:11.326 --> 00:08:31.045
Yeah, so I I don't travel with this I just take have one in different spots, right and um but wait, the juice would dry out if you pulled one out, though oh yeah, if you kept it out, yeah, but like I mean, they're all juiced up a little bit, right, and this lasts me, you know, a couple months, right, I think it's important, though, because, oh, I've tried do you use windex?
00:08:31.045 --> 00:08:32.850
No dude I ruined.
00:08:33.129 --> 00:08:34.692
I ruined a giant tv.
00:08:34.692 --> 00:08:35.702
I didn't do it.
00:08:35.702 --> 00:08:42.166
A housekeeper, somebody came in and sprayed something, some chemical a harsh chemical on my tv ruined it right.
00:08:42.166 --> 00:08:45.375
I had to take it off the wall like not salvageable yeah.
00:08:45.375 --> 00:08:46.980
So be very careful.
00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:48.611
These are good things, shout out.
00:08:48.611 --> 00:08:54.333
Drew pierce for miracle wipes for electronics get them, they're great okay, I love it.
00:08:54.533 --> 00:08:55.115
To the question.
00:08:55.115 --> 00:08:56.380
Okay, let's hit one.
00:08:56.380 --> 00:08:59.106
Oh, your boy, justin the dj.
00:08:59.106 --> 00:09:03.381
Justin the dj down in dallas, texas, shout out la force entertainment.
00:09:03.381 --> 00:09:08.953
How do you deal with a father of the bride who gives a super long toast?
00:09:08.953 --> 00:09:12.710
Bride is looking at you giving the cutoff sign.
00:09:12.710 --> 00:09:15.167
Do you just cut off his mic?
00:09:15.167 --> 00:09:18.028
Seems kind of rude and might cause problems.
00:09:18.028 --> 00:09:19.404
This is tough dude.
00:09:19.404 --> 00:09:21.663
This is like an am I the asshole question.
00:09:21.663 --> 00:09:22.144

00:09:51.855 --> 00:09:59.381
He said that he even saw the planner walk over to the bride and kind of whisper something and she basically shoot her away.
00:09:59.381 --> 00:10:01.827
Like how dare you try and cut off my dad?
00:10:01.947 --> 00:10:05.081
yeah, well, if he's paying for it, I mean he may or may not have.
00:10:05.162 --> 00:10:07.005
But what are you doing in this?
00:10:07.306 --> 00:10:10.633
I do try to get a sense of, like, who the toasters are.
00:10:10.633 --> 00:10:17.950
And when I arrive, like before we start the reception like this is when people are walking in Sure I go, hey, who are the toasters I need to be aware of?
00:10:17.950 --> 00:10:20.346
Nowadays I actually get the photo ahead of time.
00:10:20.346 --> 00:10:21.870
Okay, so I know who to look for.
00:10:21.870 --> 00:10:23.230
I don't even it anymore.
00:10:23.230 --> 00:10:26.013
And I go up to him and I say, hey, how long is your toast?
00:10:26.013 --> 00:10:32.585
Let's talk about, like mic etiquette, different things like that I'm gonna repeat to him later, but I want to get a sense of how long is this thing?
00:10:32.605 --> 00:10:33.932
that's a good, that's a good thing.
00:10:33.932 --> 00:10:37.947
A lot of people would be like oh yeah, it's the worst and I say it to him again because they'll never remember it.
00:10:37.947 --> 00:10:39.981
You have to say it to him literally when you hand them the mic.
00:10:40.042 --> 00:10:49.716
I do that and they still hold it down right, they do, they do yeah and then I also asked this in my planning call too with the client of like hey, if your dad's speaking, how does he normally talk at events?
00:10:49.716 --> 00:10:51.340
Or if he's done events, if he's a public speaker.
00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:53.566
I try to find out all that information as much as I can.
00:10:54.067 --> 00:10:55.932
I actually have used an example like this.
00:10:55.932 --> 00:10:57.282
I'm like, let's just say he goes long.
00:10:57.282 --> 00:10:58.562
How do you want me to handle that?
00:10:58.562 --> 00:10:59.224
Is he funny?
00:10:59.224 --> 00:11:03.609
Could I play Oscar walk-off music and it would go over, or do you think that would be rude?
00:11:03.609 --> 00:11:11.904
So I kind of ask these questions in the planning call so that that way, if I've ever presented with this like day of and I didn't see it coming, I can kind of figure it out If I didn't ask that question.
00:11:11.904 --> 00:11:13.067
I just was presented with this.
00:11:13.067 --> 00:11:14.320
I'm letting them talk, dude.
00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:15.181
I'm not cutting them off.
00:11:15.581 --> 00:11:33.413
I had one time where a bride goes my grandfather he may go along and his opening line was well, I was born in 1949, on a Tuesday, and I'm like we're starting with when you were born, like we got to go all the way through the generations and about 30, 40 minutes in they're like you can cut them.
00:11:33.413 --> 00:11:34.654
I'm like I'm not cutting them off.
00:11:34.654 --> 00:11:35.575
This is a grandfather.
00:11:35.575 --> 00:11:36.975
There's no way.
00:11:37.115 --> 00:11:37.376
No.
00:11:37.596 --> 00:11:38.857
You can go up to him and get the mic.
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:41.181
I am not touching it.
00:11:41.181 --> 00:11:43.104
There's absolutely to answer the question.
00:11:43.104 --> 00:11:43.865
I'm with you, man.
00:11:43.865 --> 00:11:52.759
There's no way to cut somebody off properly unless you've gotten that permission in advance, and the only way that I would do is do some sort of oscar walk.
00:11:52.778 --> 00:12:10.214
I actually have a playlist with that yeah, oscar, walk off music, just like they do in the oscars when they play off and they don't care if you're jack nicholson or leonardo dicaprio, like they'll play you off and then just kind of almost like, fade out the mic or either take your second mic and be like let's give Bob, the father of the bride, a round of applause.
00:12:10.214 --> 00:12:11.014
That's a great other call.
00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:15.672
If I see a lull where I can insert that, I will, yeah, Like great job.
00:12:15.672 --> 00:12:29.537
I mean, yeah, be careful, because I mean if he's like only halfway into his speech and you're greeting it, you don't want to do that because then you look like a douchebag, but if you can, if you see, it's kind of like he's kind of just doing off the dome and it's nice way to get him out of the situation he's stumbling.
00:12:29.917 --> 00:12:49.822
Yeah, you know the other thing I try to do, too, is I try to encourage people to do these toasts early, because I had an event where I was just telling Saquon this, we have 30 minutes and we still gotta do a toast something in five minutes.
00:12:49.822 --> 00:12:53.071
This thing went 25 minutes and it's a hard cut off.
00:12:53.071 --> 00:12:54.802
You can't go a minute after this.
00:12:54.802 --> 00:12:56.586
So you never even got to dancing.
00:12:56.586 --> 00:12:58.652
I played one dance song, that was it.
00:12:58.652 --> 00:12:59.883
That's never happened in my career.
00:12:59.883 --> 00:13:02.971
This was like 10 years ago yeah, but that's embarrassing.
00:13:03.130 --> 00:13:07.788
I'm like you just hired me yeah, and I basically set up gear for the toast.
00:13:08.090 --> 00:13:09.373
And played dinner music and played dinner music.
00:13:09.373 --> 00:13:12.426
Wow, and that was like ever since then.
00:13:12.426 --> 00:13:14.030
That's when I started approaching these differently.
00:13:14.030 --> 00:13:17.207
Yeah, and the bride actually, she understood, she's like, I get it.
00:13:17.207 --> 00:13:22.427
You know he went long and it was her dad and you know we didn't get to dance.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:33.469
Here's the thing, man, a proper toast, or like a resolution.
00:13:33.469 --> 00:13:42.788
He didn't say raise a glass, right he just stopped talking and like I'm looking across the room at it, you know cause, I had given him the mic and then I I literally had to go like, are you done?
00:13:42.788 --> 00:13:45.153
Like I actually verbally said out loud are you done?
00:13:45.153 --> 00:13:47.304
And he goes, yeah, or whatever, and I walked over and grabbed the mic.
00:13:56.100 --> 00:13:56.522
And cause mic the mic.
00:13:56.522 --> 00:13:57.083
The toast mic is the mc mic.
00:13:57.083 --> 00:14:01.883
But what happens if that goes bad or something happens, I don't know, just random stops working, cuts out, you don't even have a wired backup I have a wired backup.
00:14:01.923 --> 00:14:03.245
Okay, yeah, 100, plug in.
00:14:03.606 --> 00:14:18.671
No, but I'm, I'm usually like behind the booth okay controlling the volume so let's say that all the way over there, where saquon is, is the dj booth and then you're the toaster and I'm the DJ slash MC Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:14:18.671 --> 00:14:23.245
Ladies and gentlemen, father of the Bride, brian B, I hand you the mic and I just kind of step out of the frame.
00:14:23.245 --> 00:14:34.549
So I'm standing beside the guy, but for whatever reason, I think I was across from him and he just stopped talking all of a sudden and I was like yeah, I'm done.
00:14:34.570 --> 00:14:38.553
I was like okay, and then I run over there and get the mic and blah, blah, blah.
00:14:38.553 --> 00:14:55.465
And then my other point was I think that there is a weird thing in your brain, or like it's genetic disposition, to like some people have no self-awareness, like most people I know that get up there to give a toast, especially if it's after dinner, they go.
00:14:55.465 --> 00:15:01.448
I realize I'm the only thing between y'all and the dance floor so I'm going to rip through this kind of thing.
00:15:02.321 --> 00:15:05.149
We hear that every weekend those people get it.
00:15:05.149 --> 00:15:13.812
These people that are pontificating if that's even a word, are going on and on, are really, at that point, making it about themselves.
00:15:13.812 --> 00:15:15.105
Yeah, you can tell.
00:15:15.105 --> 00:15:18.428
I cannot imagine doing that at somebody's wedding.
00:15:18.710 --> 00:15:18.910
Yeah.
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:35.682
Even if it was my own daughter, I mean, I still think in five minutes, if I had a daughter, 10 tops I could say everything I wanted to say about her Right and her new husband or bride or whatever you want, under 10 minutes Right, and still be meaningful and poignant and emotional.
00:15:35.682 --> 00:15:39.447
And I'm out and we're on to Brian B ripping up the dance floor.
00:15:39.466 --> 00:15:44.793
Yeah, I may be wrong but, one day that will come, when my sons get married.
00:15:44.793 --> 00:15:47.916
You know, I guess I may do a toast, you'll definitely do it at the rehearsal dinner.
00:15:48.196 --> 00:15:48.657
That's on you.
00:15:48.876 --> 00:15:50.422
Yeah, but the rehearsal dinner is different, man.
00:15:50.422 --> 00:15:51.663
I feel like you can do.
00:00:22.771 --> 00:00:29.553
00:00:29.553 --> 00:00:31.175
00:00:31.175 --> 00:00:32.295
00:00:32.295 --> 00:00:33.735
00:00:33.735 --> 00:00:35.237
00:00:35.237 --> 00:00:37.057
00:00:37.057 --> 00:00:41.393
00:00:41.414 --> 00:00:42.320
00:00:42.981 --> 00:00:44.125
00:00:44.125 --> 00:00:51.930
