Is it time to hang up your over-ear headphones for good?

In this episode, Joe and Brian dive into the growing shift toward in-ear monitoring systems and how it’s changing the way DJs mix, monitor, and show up at events. Joe shares his full switch to custom-molded in-ears...a $1,000+ investment that’s paid off with better hearing protection, a cleaner look, and no more broken headbands or flaking ear cups.

Brian, on the other hand, explores a middle path using modular AIAIAI wireless headphones, offering flexibility, comfort, and impressively low latency without fully leaving traditional gear behind.

But this convo goes way beyond specs.

They get real about:

  • Monitoring with one ear while staying tuned into the crowd
  • Choosing gear that fits your brand image and client perception
  • Managing comfort, sound quality, and setup stress during long events

You’ll also hear:

  • A clever $10 powerstrip hack to clean up your booth
  • A destination wedding gig in Prairie Home, Missouri (population 280)
  • Father's Day recaps and the kind of off-the-cuff banter that makes this show feel like a green room hang

Whether you’re a seasoned pro thinking about upgrading your setup or just wondering how others manage their booth flow, this episode gives you real talk and practical insight from DJs who’ve been there.

Okay, father's Day.

00:01:20.066 --> 00:01:21.606
It's 5.45 am.

00:01:21.606 --> 00:01:23.448
It started early.

00:01:23.448 --> 00:01:24.149
I made you a card.

00:01:24.149 --> 00:01:26.090
I'm like, hey, you can give that to me about 9.

00:01:26.090 --> 00:01:28.171
I don't need that 5.45.

00:01:28.212 --> 00:01:29.572
Any breakfast, any breakfast in bed.

00:01:29.572 --> 00:01:30.194
I did get breakfast.

00:01:30.313 --> 00:01:32.275
No, I didn't get the breakfast Was it homemade.

00:01:32.275 --> 00:01:32.995
It was homemade.

00:01:32.995 --> 00:01:34.516
Tara hooked that up.

00:01:34.537 --> 00:01:35.257
Tara hooked it up.

00:01:35.257 --> 00:01:50.522
Yeah, I thought she might have gone to.

00:01:50.522 --> 00:01:52.466
I looked, you know you're at the park with her.

00:01:52.486 --> 00:01:54.359
That was it, yeah, well, we didn't go to the park, it was.

00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:55.962
It was so hot here it was nasty.

00:01:55.962 --> 00:01:59.546
I found this website oh boy raleigh for kidscom.

00:01:59.546 --> 00:02:06.781
Didn't even know it was a thing, I didn't either and we found an indoor okay, they had a father's day thing where they totally blew out the ad.

00:02:06.781 --> 00:02:09.908
It was like donuts for dad and these nice big donuts I show up.

00:02:09.908 --> 00:02:16.324
It's like a little bin of like these donut holes that they had just gotten that like published or something like that was kind of, but it was cool.

00:02:16.343 --> 00:02:23.712
It was like all these inflatables, but indoors I was like they gotta be printing money oh, gotta be because they have a camp for kids like that's a whole thing.

00:02:23.793 --> 00:02:24.895
I'm like these things are going to get-.

00:02:24.895 --> 00:02:25.919
So one of the pop-up is permanent.

00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:26.280
It's a permanent.

00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:28.556
Permanent, but these are the blow-up ones.

00:02:28.556 --> 00:02:30.967
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and they had five rooms of these things, yeah, yeah, right.

00:02:30.967 --> 00:02:32.627
And there wasn't that many people there.

00:02:32.627 --> 00:02:40.687
We were like one of maybe six kids.

00:02:40.768 --> 00:02:41.489
Yeah, but that's a a deal.

00:02:41.489 --> 00:02:42.289
I know I'm father's day.

00:02:42.289 --> 00:02:44.973
We used to get this place called monkey joe's it was like that.

00:02:44.973 --> 00:02:46.133
It was like a franchise.

00:02:46.133 --> 00:02:47.455
It was expensive as shit.

00:02:47.615 --> 00:02:50.985
I just thought, because you're not dealing with the elements, with those things, that's where they really get ruined.

00:02:51.145 --> 00:02:54.825
Yeah outdoors rain, all of that yeah this is indoors.

00:02:54.866 --> 00:02:56.794
I'm like the overhead of this can't be crazy.

00:02:56.794 --> 00:02:57.680
Did you have to sign a waiver?

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.649
oh, of course that's where they say yeah, then we went to that restaurant.

00:03:02.008 --> 00:03:02.911
Fail, yeah what was it?

00:03:02.951 --> 00:03:03.492
What was it called?

00:03:03.492 --> 00:03:06.759
Again, Do you want to say I think it's called yeah, I don't mind putting it on blast.

00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.586
It was like Cali Columbia or something like that.

00:03:09.586 --> 00:03:10.228
It was Colombian food.

00:03:10.228 --> 00:03:11.150
It's right by your house.

00:03:11.211 --> 00:03:12.092
Yeah, Always packed.

00:03:12.092 --> 00:03:15.066
We went at four o'clock yesterday I was like there's going to be no line.

00:03:19.647 --> 00:03:22.133
Yeah, four o dinner no I'm like I don't understand.

00:03:22.173 --> 00:03:27.627
It wasn't good and it was not good, wow, and you had to pretty much be latin to to go there, right?

00:03:27.627 --> 00:03:32.264
Which I thought another plus, because no one can speak english here agreed, so it's gotta be.

00:03:32.264 --> 00:03:39.384
To me that is a plus like no, but then the night before we were going out to look for something, we went to a street taco place.

00:03:39.846 --> 00:03:43.140
Okay, super solid not a, not a um, not a food truck.

00:03:43.140 --> 00:03:44.947
No, this is a establishment.

00:03:45.007 --> 00:03:47.423
It's like right near our house, five minutes away.

00:03:47.423 --> 00:03:49.646
Um the guys from mexico city.

00:03:49.646 --> 00:03:50.770
That's a yeah bonus.

00:03:50.789 --> 00:03:54.306
Okay, super solid okay, you gotta go there, that they have.

00:03:54.306 --> 00:03:56.555
You know, I'm very gringo, though.

00:03:56.555 --> 00:03:59.524
Do they have corn tortillas only, or can you get flour?

00:03:59.524 --> 00:04:01.067
Good question the corns, bro.

00:04:01.067 --> 00:04:05.099
Nah, I'm, I'm, I don't do the corn, I don't get down, it wasn't corn I don't think.

00:04:05.600 --> 00:04:07.265
I think it was flour, so I'll get you that.

00:04:07.425 --> 00:04:09.330
But this part lays into my question.

00:04:09.330 --> 00:04:11.987
Okay, actually, perfectly, we didn't even plan this.

00:04:11.987 --> 00:04:13.735
This actually just happened to you, right?

00:04:13.735 --> 00:04:15.221
You were off saturday night.

00:04:15.221 --> 00:04:20.677
If I tell you you're not dj on saturday night and you can't work like you can't?

00:04:20.677 --> 00:04:22.081
No emails, right?

00:04:22.081 --> 00:04:29.209
No proposals, no no invoicing, no QuickBooks, none of your shit that you do, None of the shit we do.

00:04:29.209 --> 00:04:31.928
Like to run a business Right, ideal night.

00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.730
It would be going to a sporting activity of some sort to watch.

00:04:35.730 --> 00:04:39.069
Yeah, in fact, there wasn't hardly anything on TV Saturday night.

00:04:39.069 --> 00:04:41.646
There was no NHL or NBA.

00:04:41.646 --> 00:04:42.891
I think there was an NH.

00:04:42.992 --> 00:04:45.218
I mean, if it's not the Canes.

00:04:45.238 --> 00:04:50.007
I'm probably not paying attention, even though it's the Stanley Cup, so going to like a game.

00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:51.245
Yeah, I would do that.

00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.850
It used to be movies, but, man, I haven't gone to a movie in God knows how long.

00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:59.725
Dude, you know Saquon's a big movie guy and I love movies and I'm kind of the same.

00:04:59.725 --> 00:05:01.387
I haven't seen the new Mission Impossible.

00:05:01.387 --> 00:05:08.136
I've been wanting to see that, but then, man, the main problem I have lately with movies is three hours is crazy.

00:05:08.136 --> 00:05:11.767
Yeah, they get long and it's three, probably 20 with the ads.

00:05:11.767 --> 00:05:12.088
Yes.

00:05:12.470 --> 00:05:13.211
But I love that.

00:05:13.211 --> 00:05:13.961
I don't know that.

00:05:13.961 --> 00:05:15.468
I love that A short movie you can't like.

00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:18.600
Two hours was always industry standard for me, like I.

00:05:18.661 --> 00:05:21.189
just that's what it was when you were growing up, you grown up, you had two hours.

00:05:21.189 --> 00:05:21.870
That's a lie.

00:05:21.930 --> 00:05:23.992
The previews were no dude when.

00:05:23.992 --> 00:05:24.572
I was coming on.

00:05:24.572 --> 00:05:27.216
The Green Mile was like three hours long bro.

00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:29.367
Star Wars is like three hours long.

00:05:30.362 --> 00:05:32.622
Not OG Star Wars yes, they were.

00:05:32.985 --> 00:05:34.444
But they were like two and a half hours.

00:05:34.444 --> 00:05:37.127
Okay, dancing with Wolves, no, that was a five hour.

00:05:37.127 --> 00:05:39.639
That was a five hour, I don't know.

00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.122
Actually it was long, though it was long.

00:05:41.281 --> 00:05:45.185
Anyway, it was long, though it was long Anyway, I don't know man, I do love movies.

00:05:45.206 --> 00:05:46.286
So what's your go-to?

00:05:46.286 --> 00:05:50.490
I think mine man is, and also mine's a restaurant of some sort.

00:05:50.571 --> 00:05:53.194
That was going to be me, me and Ashley going somewhere.

00:05:53.194 --> 00:06:00.682
Either we love you know what I mean Like love, love, or you send me weekly something new that's opened.

00:06:00.682 --> 00:06:03.829
I probably get targeted by two or three Instagram reels a day.

00:06:03.829 --> 00:06:05.132
That is something new.

00:06:05.132 --> 00:06:05.473
Opening.

00:06:05.473 --> 00:06:07.786
Raleigh is absolutely exploded.

00:06:07.867 --> 00:06:08.610
It is yeah.

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:16.600
Everywhere you look, man, they are building a building Right and in the bottom of those buildings are new restaurants, new retail, new restaurants, new retail.

00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:17.019
I mean.

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:23.601
I could go to a new restaurant every single night, probably for the next 45 days, and maybe still not hit them all.

00:06:23.781 --> 00:06:25.721
Do you ever surprise Ashley with these things?

00:06:25.721 --> 00:06:27.081
Or do you just cause Tara?

00:06:27.081 --> 00:06:28.822
I don't know why it's in me.

00:06:28.822 --> 00:06:30.682
I just don't ever tell her where we're going.

00:06:30.843 --> 00:06:31.463
I'm like hey.

00:06:31.923 --> 00:06:32.403
I'm going so much.

00:06:32.403 --> 00:06:33.843
She's like, oh great, where are we going now?

00:06:33.843 --> 00:06:36.665
You know, try someplace and and and like with her.

00:06:36.665 --> 00:06:41.146
You know, I want to make sure it's a go-to before I recommend.

00:06:41.146 --> 00:06:47.026
Oh, before you bring in another couple, I think I usually would say here's the spot.

00:06:47.146 --> 00:06:48.107
I'm going to try and make a res.

00:06:48.107 --> 00:06:48.927
What do you think about it?

00:06:48.927 --> 00:06:53.088
Or our friend Allison Conley is always out.

00:06:53.088 --> 00:06:55.348
She's super social, so I'll hit her up and go.

00:06:55.348 --> 00:06:56.369
Hey, have you been to this.

00:06:56.369 --> 00:07:00.509
There was this new kind of I don't know if it's Middle Eastern or Indian place.

00:07:00.509 --> 00:07:04.298
Yeah, it's over in that new innovation district in North Hills.

00:07:04.298 --> 00:07:08.738
It was super dope, right, and it wasn't like curry, because I don't really like curry.

00:07:08.738 --> 00:07:13.081
The chef was from Bangladesh but then had been living in America.

00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:13.221
Yeah.

00:07:13.529 --> 00:07:15.435
Worked in New York in some hot shit restaurant.

00:07:15.456 --> 00:07:16.399
Yeah, and then opened this place.

00:07:16.850 --> 00:07:20.877
I'm spacing on the name, but I would recommend that, like the vibe was cool yeah, he was cool.

00:07:20.877 --> 00:07:26.161
He was real young, yeah, he came out, made sure everything was good, like I'm going to find the name and send you there.

00:07:26.161 --> 00:07:26.942
Or I'll go with you.

00:07:26.942 --> 00:07:28.475
Yeah, Like you would like that place.

00:07:28.636 --> 00:07:28.937
What did you?

00:07:28.956 --> 00:07:30.269
get man.

00:07:30.269 --> 00:07:31.994
It was some kind of chicken dish.

00:07:31.994 --> 00:07:34.017
No, it was no, no, you've got to get that.

00:07:34.057 --> 00:07:34.819
It was some chicken dish.

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:41.223
Yeah, it was, but it was I.

00:07:41.223 --> 00:07:42.625
You know, the vibe was right.

00:07:42.704 --> 00:07:53.187
everybody in there just like looked like they were, you know, dressed up yeah, well, most indiana restaurants are like that anyways, exactly almost too upscale, yeah like for what they're doing.

00:07:53.267 --> 00:08:02.182
This was definitely upscale and I'm sure it was expensive, but it was in the right building, the right part of town yeah, the right clientele, the right decor, the right food.

00:08:02.182 --> 00:08:05.254
The kid that owned it was cool like it had a lot going for it.

00:08:05.274 --> 00:08:10.204
All right, I'm gonna put you in that place, I can't remember well, I just got back from the midwest.

00:08:10.303 --> 00:08:12.678
I was in the midwest for some gigs going out there.

00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:14.446
So this mentor of mine.

00:08:14.446 --> 00:08:24.379
Actually, I don't have very many mentors, but this guy's been and been a mentor since I was jesse itzler no close, but uh no by the way, jesse itzler got married in boca grand to sarah Blakely in 2008.

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:25.120
Okay.

00:08:25.541 --> 00:08:30.637
Like that Boca Grande is like you know it's not even a stoplight, and that's like my favorite place in the world.

00:08:30.810 --> 00:08:31.790
I'm actually doing a wedding there.

00:08:31.790 --> 00:08:35.212
Are you this year, anyway?

00:08:35.212 --> 00:08:36.373
Gaspaspin Inn.

00:08:36.393 --> 00:08:37.073
Gasparilla Inn.

00:08:37.153 --> 00:08:38.735
Yeah, you're playing there.

00:08:38.735 --> 00:08:39.115
I'm playing there.

00:08:39.115 --> 00:08:40.296
An after party, just an after party.

00:08:40.296 --> 00:08:41.777
They oh no.

00:08:41.976 --> 00:08:43.618
They got money if they're at the Astro.

00:08:43.638 --> 00:08:44.918
Yeah, I'm like let's go.

00:08:44.918 --> 00:08:47.559
So I got that coming up in October, let's do it.

00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:52.903
And then I'm doing an event in Raleigh the very next day, which I don't do hardly ever here.

00:08:52.903 --> 00:08:59.008
And it's also with Lauren Watson, oh, I love Lauren.

00:08:59.008 --> 00:09:02.052
Yeah, I don't know, it's not in Raleigh proper.

00:09:02.072 --> 00:09:04.196
Well wait, if we go, we can't fish.

00:09:04.196 --> 00:09:05.336
What if we go the day before?

00:09:05.336 --> 00:09:06.438
I'm doing a threefer.

00:09:06.438 --> 00:09:08.782
So no, I ain't going with you, but anyways, go ahead.

00:09:08.883 --> 00:09:09.844
I was in the Midwest.

00:09:09.844 --> 00:09:10.825
Yes, in Kansas.

00:09:10.825 --> 00:09:17.456
Okay, well.

00:09:17.476 --> 00:09:18.076
I actually went to.

00:09:18.136 --> 00:09:18.538
Missouri.

00:09:18.538 --> 00:09:20.320
First we went to St Louis Girls on vacation.

00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:23.623
Yeah, it's pretty awesome, I was 16.

00:09:23.722 --> 00:09:26.105
I went there when I was seven, okay, and took the girl.

00:09:26.105 --> 00:09:26.807
We went up there.

00:09:28.649 --> 00:09:30.758
They definitely renovated it, so it's like way more modernized.

00:09:30.758 --> 00:09:33.899
And I remember the carpet was nasty before, but now it's like nice, nice.

00:09:34.269 --> 00:09:35.556
Then we went to Kansas.

00:09:35.556 --> 00:09:38.898
Okay, had a wedding at a place called Prairie Home.

00:09:38.898 --> 00:09:40.000
Prairie Home, missouri.

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:48.414
I thought you said this was like a festival or something.

00:09:48.414 --> 00:09:49.798
No, I was joking with you about it because I took a picture of it.

00:09:49.798 --> 00:09:50.441
Yeah, so we'll put it up there.

00:09:50.441 --> 00:09:51.144
Population 280.

00:09:51.144 --> 00:09:52.025
I'm like, is this a serious sign?

00:09:52.025 --> 00:09:52.788
Where am I going?

00:09:52.788 --> 00:10:00.557
And my point to you on the text was like, hey, if 11 people show up, this is just turned into a music festival for this time, right, right, because this is crazy.

00:10:00.697 --> 00:10:02.950
Hold on a second time out, time, out, time out.

00:10:02.950 --> 00:10:04.533
I think I was doing a gig or something.

00:10:04.533 --> 00:10:08.023
I just didn't read it right yeah, hold on where does this gig?

00:10:08.082 --> 00:10:11.051
even come from okay, so this is a mentor friend of mine.

00:10:11.111 --> 00:10:20.038
Okay, I did one of his daughter's wedding in switzerland right, okay, that's a lot different than prairie home, canada, missouri, missouri, sorry so prairie home.

00:10:20.379 --> 00:10:25.035
they actually my uh, my buddy sean sent me a playlist that the town put together.

00:10:25.035 --> 00:10:27.881
Oh oh yeah, you sent that to me, oh man.

00:10:28.042 --> 00:10:28.302
Brutal.

00:10:28.789 --> 00:10:30.336
But anyways, I go out there.

00:10:30.336 --> 00:10:31.259
I needed some gear.

00:10:31.259 --> 00:10:33.413
So, shout out, elite Sounds.

00:10:33.413 --> 00:10:35.958
Ryan Rainey, buddy of mine that I knew through.

00:10:35.958 --> 00:10:37.142
He actually been to the collective.

00:10:37.142 --> 00:10:43.202
Yeah, I know he hooked me up with gear, went out there pouring rain oh boy, another one of those.

00:10:43.202 --> 00:10:44.923
I'm like I can't escape the rain.

00:10:44.923 --> 00:10:50.025
This year it's just been happening, yeah, and they had about 280 people there, pretty close.

00:10:50.025 --> 00:10:52.047
Not all from the whole town, though.

00:10:52.047 --> 00:10:55.567
Right, I think it was like 250 actually what it ended up being, but what was it?

00:10:55.567 --> 00:10:57.714
A barn or pavilion, it was like a, they called it.

00:10:57.754 --> 00:11:03.316
The secret garden is the name of it and it was like just an open, like garden with stuff.

00:11:03.316 --> 00:11:09.586
They put out a tent, pretty but everybody, it was it was, and then they had people out there on the courtyard and you could hear the thunder.

00:11:09.586 --> 00:11:10.591
I'm like, oh, it's coming down.

00:11:10.591 --> 00:11:12.748
She's like can why you make an announcement to have everybody come under the tent?

00:11:12.748 --> 00:11:13.370
We're about to start.

00:11:13.370 --> 00:11:15.456
I didn't have to say anything, it started a storm.

00:11:15.456 --> 00:11:19.933
They all, just, like mad, rushed in and I'm like, man, that's the best announcement I could have ever made.

00:11:20.333 --> 00:11:22.378
Didn't need to say anything right run.

00:11:22.597 --> 00:11:23.840
But they did some really cool things.

00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:28.455
They met at a coffee shop that's where they, uh the the bride and groom met.

00:11:28.455 --> 00:11:47.643
So they did what they called the first pour and they had a little mini coffee station set up and they, like, made coffee together and like during the ceremony, this is like right after cocktail hour, before they did a grand entrance, they had everybody gather for this like first four which I thought was a really cool thing I mean they had like the uh, what is it like the espresso?

00:11:47.663 --> 00:11:50.408
machine yeah, but they had like the way it was decorated.

00:11:50.408 --> 00:11:56.793
I forgot what those kinds of bags are, but it's like those like grain kind of looking bags yeah, yeah, they have beans, yes.

00:11:56.894 --> 00:12:02.815
Or allegedly for the dick, yeah they were all decorated like in this one little section to kind of like pay tribute to that.

00:12:02.815 --> 00:12:03.395
I love that.

00:12:03.395 --> 00:12:05.000
That that's cool.

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.977
It was an interesting town, like I mean like literally no signal in there whatsoever.

00:12:08.977 --> 00:12:10.041
I couldn't even send you that text.

00:12:10.041 --> 00:12:12.778
I probably tried to send it like seven times, it just wouldn't go through.

00:12:12.778 --> 00:12:19.047
So it's close to University of Missouri, which is about 30 minutes away, okay, and a place called Columbia Missouri.

00:12:19.047 --> 00:12:25.240
Okay, I ended up staying the night there because I was like there's nothing in Prairie Home I was like might as well sleep in the room.

00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.222
I need some internet of some sort.

00:12:27.243 --> 00:12:28.105
You know what I mean.

00:12:29.029 --> 00:12:30.596
So, anyways, good gig.

00:12:30.596 --> 00:12:35.514
Probably won't be going back, but I even texted a couple people who live in Missouri and they're like dude, we've never heard of this town before.

00:12:35.534 --> 00:12:36.017
Never heard of it.

00:12:36.017 --> 00:12:36.238
Yeah.

00:12:36.429 --> 00:12:38.096
But that kind of leads into my gear segment.

00:12:38.096 --> 00:12:48.014
Oh, interesting, brian B here interrupting yet another stellar podcast episode.

00:12:48.014 --> 00:12:49.239
But don't worry, this is a value ad, not just me rambling.

00:12:49.239 --> 00:12:51.467
Have you enjoyed the music finds I share on here?

00:12:51.467 --> 00:12:54.721
You know the ones that Joe pretends he discovered first.

00:12:54.721 --> 00:13:02.330
Well, if you didn't know, I've got a patreon where you can grab not only song lists but also exclusive edits of mine.

00:13:02.330 --> 00:13:04.277
Yep, custom tracks.

00:13:04.277 --> 00:13:09.313
That'll set you apart from every DJ still rinsing the same tired wedding set.

00:13:09.313 --> 00:13:11.639
Want fresh music suggestions every month?

00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:14.510
Go to patreoncom forward.

00:13:14.510 --> 00:13:16.916
Slash DJ Brian B official.

00:13:16.916 --> 00:13:19.921
Again, that's patreoncom forward.

00:13:19.921 --> 00:13:22.205
Slash DJ Brian B official.

00:13:22.205 --> 00:13:23.373
You'll be the DJ.

00:13:23.373 --> 00:13:29.879
Everyone's trying to figure out how you keep your sets so fire and planners will start nudging their couples your way.

00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:33.474
And if that's not a hard enough sell, I don't know what is all right.

00:13:33.474 --> 00:13:38.798
Back to the episode before Joe tries to convince us that sweet Caroline is actually a banger.

00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.671
So I love renting gear, you know, just to see what their rigs look like.

00:13:42.691 --> 00:13:42.892
Yeah.

00:13:43.212 --> 00:13:45.639
So he had I don't even remember what kind of booth.

00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:53.789
He had a booth, and so I was able to fit it all into my car, and in it was already pre-wired you didn't set up all your stuff no, this was because they don't have anything in prairie home.

00:13:53.789 --> 00:13:58.511
I mean, the closest thing was like three hours away, so I'm like I might as well get it in kansas city, drive it up.

00:13:58.511 --> 00:14:01.738
Oh, I see, I would be shocked if there's a dj who lives there.

00:14:01.798 --> 00:14:03.701
Maybe there is probably crushing the Prairie home market.

00:14:03.701 --> 00:14:05.345
I mean, how many weddings are you doing with 280?

00:14:05.365 --> 00:14:05.644
people.

00:14:05.644 --> 00:14:09.616
In fact, the funniest thing about it was my buddy is like who lives in Kansas.

00:14:09.616 --> 00:14:11.525
He was like dude, I've never heard of that.

00:14:11.525 --> 00:14:15.135
So he did a little Google search and how they describe the town.

00:14:15.135 --> 00:14:16.700
It's like it's a growing city.

00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:20.836
They're averaging like one person per year in the last like 60 years.

00:14:20.836 --> 00:14:27.892
I'm like talk about a marketing spin, right, but the gear fine.

00:14:27.912 --> 00:14:52.840
This was the power strip that was inside the booth, okay, and I just thought it was super cool because it's got multiple outlets, yeah, on the front sides and top yeah, with the usb inside usb regular and usbc and the switch is here so you don't have to worry about, because sometimes if it's on top, yeah it can get bumped if it's on the whatever so, and it's heavy duty in my opinion, I like this one yeah, you like that yeah I did so, of course I had to take a picture.

00:14:53.562 --> 00:15:06.302
Bought a few of them oh, and it's got the 90 degree plug for the wall, and I just like the fact that it's got a lot of different places to place the outlet so you're not stuck with one way only amazon obviously amazon.

00:15:06.302 --> 00:15:06.962
So what do you think it?

00:15:07.090 --> 00:15:13.745
is 15.99, no higher, damn 9.99 9.99 9.99 for one.

00:15:13.965 --> 00:15:19.225
It's great if you're looking for one that's flat like this, because sometimes you don't have the room to do the whole strip.

00:15:19.225 --> 00:15:25.774
That's right or whatever yeah so this I just feel like it was a a great thing I found in somebody's rig Solid purchase.

00:15:26.034 --> 00:15:28.096
Shout out Ryan Rainey you want to head into the question.

00:15:28.096 --> 00:15:29.597
Sure, let's get into it.

00:15:29.597 --> 00:15:31.360
Dj Fire, dj Fire.

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.081
In fact, I think I was talking to that guy earlier today.

00:15:34.081 --> 00:15:36.904
He was having some problems with something and I just answered him.

00:15:36.904 --> 00:15:39.927
I think it's the same guy, maybe not Could be multiple DJ Fires.

00:15:40.389 --> 00:15:40.770
Could be Well.

00:15:40.770 --> 00:15:45.501
He the 116th one on the list, DJ underscore fire number 116.

00:15:45.522 --> 00:15:45.942
That's true.

00:15:46.370 --> 00:15:49.590
And it has the underscore, so you got to have that man.

00:15:49.590 --> 00:15:51.557
There's a lot of DJ fires out there.

00:15:52.932 --> 00:15:57.518
What are your thoughts about in-ear monitors versus over-the-ear headphones?

00:15:57.518 --> 00:16:00.398
You know, what I am actually very biased on this subject.

00:16:00.398 --> 00:16:01.080
You are.

00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:06.813
Because I think it's been at least three or four years since I got rid of headphones.

00:16:07.154 --> 00:16:09.240
Wow yeah, maybe longer.

00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:11.182
Do you even carry a backup, just in case?

00:16:11.182 --> 00:16:12.309
Oh, of course 100%.

00:16:12.831 --> 00:16:13.996
I still have my V-Motors.

00:16:13.996 --> 00:16:24.850
They are definitely in that bag right there and they are in the pocket for them in their case, with the removable quarter-inch to eighth-inch adapter in case I don't have one, or the other.

00:16:24.850 --> 00:16:25.509
It's only been like one incident.

00:16:25.529 --> 00:16:27.011
Yeah, you know, quarter inch to eighth inch adapter, in case I don't.

00:16:27.011 --> 00:16:27.631
I don't have one of the other.

00:16:27.631 --> 00:16:27.971
Yeah, we couldn't.

00:16:27.971 --> 00:16:31.934
I hit a button on the pack, the belt pack, and changed this Wireless.

00:16:31.934 --> 00:16:32.975
Yeah, I'm wireless.

00:16:32.975 --> 00:16:37.119
Any lag, Zero lag, no.

00:16:37.119 --> 00:16:39.059
But I mean these are expensive.

00:16:39.059 --> 00:16:40.600
They're expensive in-ear monitors.

00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:42.162
They are made by custom molders.

00:16:42.662 --> 00:16:50.327
I went to the ear doctor, got a custom mold made, sent them off, had these made man, this could be five, six, seven years ago now.

00:16:50.327 --> 00:16:55.139
I think I've always been on this Sennheiser in ear monitor pack I mean, it's what they're for.

00:16:55.301 --> 00:16:56.042
What was the catalyst?

00:16:56.062 --> 00:16:56.683
I'm looking, you move.

00:16:56.683 --> 00:16:57.125
I'm looking.

00:16:57.125 --> 00:16:58.993
I just don't like headphones.

00:16:58.993 --> 00:17:00.289
I think they're hot.

00:17:00.289 --> 00:17:01.990
I was going through a bunch.

00:17:01.990 --> 00:17:11.920
They would either break or the ear cups would start to do that thing where the paint starts to flake off and it gets on your ears or on your bald head or whatever in your hair, if you have hair.

00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.153
I just got tired of them, man.

00:17:14.153 --> 00:17:15.631
I didn't like them hanging around my neck.

00:17:15.631 --> 00:17:19.233
I don't like that thing where people do it and wear it forwards like a headband.

00:17:19.233 --> 00:17:20.096
I don't like the thing.

00:17:20.796 --> 00:17:24.518
So, since you've gone back and forth, pros, cons the pros are?

00:17:24.919 --> 00:17:26.460
it just looks clean.

00:17:26.460 --> 00:17:27.759
Clean and professional.

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:33.045
Even with one of them dropped, like I can tuck it inside my jacket and you never see it right but I'm not wearing both of them.

00:17:33.045 --> 00:17:35.151
I need to be able to hear the crowd reaction.

00:17:35.151 --> 00:17:37.336
That's the if I had to say the con.

00:17:37.336 --> 00:17:43.743
That was the con is, if you wear both, you would technically have to run some sort of microphone into the audience.

00:17:44.105 --> 00:17:44.204
Right.

00:17:44.204 --> 00:17:47.694
Or set up on your booth, point it towards the crowd or point it towards somebody.

00:17:47.694 --> 00:17:51.972
Give them a request, Because when you lock them in your ears you can't hear much.

00:17:51.972 --> 00:17:53.897
Right, that's the negative.

00:17:53.897 --> 00:17:55.089
There is no lag.

00:17:55.684 --> 00:17:56.885
One's constantly in your ear.

00:17:57.026 --> 00:17:59.846
Correct, unless somebody comes up and really wants to like.

00:17:59.846 --> 00:18:03.148
You know, bride comes up, first thing I do is grab it and pull it down.

00:18:03.148 --> 00:18:04.990
Mother of the bride comes up, I'm taking it.

00:18:04.990 --> 00:18:09.251
You know, random fuck boy comes up and wants to request.

00:18:09.251 --> 00:18:12.633
You know, I can't hear you, mr Brightside.

00:18:12.633 --> 00:18:19.037
I'm just like, yeah, we just nod and smile, and then you know, and then I'll look at Saquon and I'll go and I'll go.

00:18:19.037 --> 00:18:19.737
What is he saying?

00:18:19.737 --> 00:18:20.217
He goes?

00:18:20.217 --> 00:18:21.077
I don't know.

00:18:21.077 --> 00:18:22.178
I don't either.

00:18:22.178 --> 00:18:26.880
We both smiled at him and sent him on his way and he, yeah, thumbs up, and I don't know.

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.361
Man, I just think it looks better.

00:18:28.361 --> 00:18:30.021
I think you look better in pictures.

00:18:30.021 --> 00:18:31.102
I think it looks cooler.

00:18:31.102 --> 00:18:32.823
I think it looks like you're a rock star.

00:18:35.948 --> 00:18:48.721
Like you're, so it had nothing to do yeah because and the other thing was you know hearing-wise and the tinnitus and the ringing in my ears and I'm able to turn these down lower because it is right in your ear yeah.

00:18:48.721 --> 00:18:55.518
I mean, if I handed those headphones to somebody else a normal person, you know, when I used to wear the headphones and put them on their head, they'd be like Jesus man, what are you?

00:18:55.597 --> 00:18:56.318
doing yeah.

00:18:57.027 --> 00:18:58.332
It just was too loud, right.

00:19:03.204 --> 00:19:04.411
And you don't have to turn up any or so loud so post gig.

00:19:04.411 --> 00:19:05.276
Can you tell a difference that they've?

00:19:05.276 --> 00:19:10.345
I mean, it's probably been years now it's been years maybe the first couple times you could tell a noticeable difference between like was there less ringing in your?

00:19:10.365 --> 00:19:19.886
100 okay 100 and, to be honest, man, after doing this now for 40 years, my hearing is not knock on wood, destroyed.

00:19:19.886 --> 00:19:23.174
I go every year and get my hearing checked, the highest end of the.

00:19:23.174 --> 00:19:25.650
You know when they do the sound.

00:19:25.650 --> 00:19:26.693
I've lost that.

00:19:26.693 --> 00:19:34.891
I don't hear the high high end stuff anymore, but normal volume stuff and regular frequencies I hear just fine.

00:19:35.345 --> 00:19:37.749
So to give this guy some context, what should he budget for?

00:19:38.191 --> 00:19:41.166
with this, you're saying if you're going to do it, go high end.

00:19:41.166 --> 00:19:42.269
Oh, if you're going to do it, go high end.

00:19:42.269 --> 00:19:44.411
Oh, if you're going to do it, do it right Over $1,000.

00:19:44.411 --> 00:19:44.932
Okay.

00:19:45.132 --> 00:19:46.073
But it's a one-time purchase.

00:19:46.073 --> 00:19:48.276
Yes, have you had to replace anything on them?

00:19:48.455 --> 00:19:50.638
No, I've never replaced the ultimate ears.

00:19:50.638 --> 00:19:51.380
That's a lot.

00:19:51.380 --> 00:20:07.712
The cable the cable's special and it attaches to the in-e is kind of has a piece of wire in it so it kind of goes around your ear and that kind of gets a little bit janky after about a year, okay, and the cable is probably 60 bucks Got it.

00:20:07.712 --> 00:20:09.250
So you have a backup with you of those.

00:20:09.506 --> 00:20:14.354
I do have a backup of that Right and again I got my headphones if I had to go, but the molds have lasted.

00:20:14.354 --> 00:20:16.413
The molds are the exact same molds.

00:20:22.525 --> 00:20:24.051
In fact, old logo on one ear and then the play button on the other ear.

00:20:24.071 --> 00:20:24.776
Okay, I used to use them in the band.

00:20:24.776 --> 00:20:29.156
Yeah, back in the day and everybody and I think that was the original thing I just was like, oh, it's gonna look cool, like right makes you look like a star.

00:20:29.156 --> 00:20:31.507
But then I'm like, man, I'm definitely not playing.

00:20:31.507 --> 00:20:34.255
I mean, I can look at the knob on the mixer and tell you it's not as loud.

00:20:34.255 --> 00:20:36.126
Yeah, you know, on the q, on the q knob.

00:20:36.387 --> 00:20:45.055
I don't know man, I I just I think if you went to them you would be like, oh yeah, this is, and again, just freeing yourself from the booth, right, like I've walked away before trying to.

00:20:45.055 --> 00:20:47.346
You know, oh, I need to go grab something out of my DJ bag.

00:20:47.346 --> 00:21:00.775
You know six steps that way before and had a set of headphones on and literally rip the cable in half or rip them off my neck, whereas this belt pack, like even if I go pee or something and I'm like, say Kwon, just like this is going to end cold, just slam, fade in.

00:21:00.775 --> 00:21:04.759
You know, bright side, or whatever I can literally be in the bathroom like hearing what's going on?

00:21:05.627 --> 00:21:05.788
Is it?

00:21:05.807 --> 00:21:07.432
Bluetooth or how is it connecting?

00:21:07.432 --> 00:21:07.974
No, it is.

00:21:07.974 --> 00:21:12.314
It's the same frequency as a mic frequency whatever, those are Wow, and there's no latency.

00:21:12.314 --> 00:21:12.394
No.

00:21:12.414 --> 00:21:13.877
That's insane Okay.

00:21:14.285 --> 00:21:17.691
There are wireless headphones out now, too, by a company called AI AIA.

00:21:17.691 --> 00:21:19.273
That's the one I was just going to talk about.

00:21:19.273 --> 00:21:19.994
That's what I use.

00:21:20.236 --> 00:21:20.757
Do you like those?

00:21:20.757 --> 00:21:21.196
Love them?

00:21:21.196 --> 00:21:22.599
Really Great.

00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:28.498
And I think the biggest selling point to me is the fact that every part can be put together of this headphone.

00:21:28.498 --> 00:21:33.433
Like you get the brain part right, the bend, and then you have each cup can go on them.

00:21:33.433 --> 00:21:37.788
I mean, every piece can be removed and you can buy each one if any of them fail.

00:21:37.788 --> 00:21:40.875
Oh, separately, did you buy those or they send them to you?

00:21:40.875 --> 00:21:41.615
No, I bought them.

00:21:41.797 --> 00:21:42.176
I bought them.

00:21:42.176 --> 00:21:44.280
I was trying to get a free set, but they weren't that.

00:21:44.280 --> 00:21:44.882
Maybe I'm not big.

00:21:44.902 --> 00:21:50.086
Well, I think they're out in europe too, by the way, so they're probably not big in the us, but they don't like that stupid ass.

00:21:50.086 --> 00:21:54.586
White boy from the south I actually had a friend of mine who said you should try them wirelessly.

00:21:54.586 --> 00:21:58.732
Yeah, and it is a bluetooth signal, and I was like I don't know if it's going to really work.

00:21:58.732 --> 00:22:02.258
Yeah, the latency is so little you can't even tell.

00:22:02.258 --> 00:22:06.173
Yeah, and for mixing, like even a little off is is a big deal.

00:22:06.213 --> 00:22:06.414
Sure.

00:22:06.645 --> 00:22:07.618
It's as if they're in there.

00:22:07.618 --> 00:22:13.457
Really the problem with them in wireless mode is that I noticed you can't turn them up too loud, which is probably a good thing.

00:22:13.557 --> 00:22:13.837
Yeah.

00:22:13.837 --> 00:22:23.102
They start to kind of distort a bit in your ears with it, I can go louder with them I don't know why are you saying the wire to the, your controller, or the?

00:22:23.102 --> 00:22:23.501
Controller.

00:22:23.501 --> 00:22:26.883
Oh, right to the ear, right straight in, rather than the wireless right.

00:22:26.883 --> 00:22:29.088
But I use the bluetooth in them, correct?

00:22:29.088 --> 00:22:37.807
When I'm just on a plane, oh anywhere, I could just have those things on because the battery life is insane right they are, yeah, they're like two or three hundred bucks yeah, somewhere in that range.

00:22:37.987 --> 00:22:42.695
I have not gone in here just because to me the in-ear for you the.

00:22:42.777 --> 00:22:46.751
The key metric is don't mess your hair up like that's premium hair.

00:22:46.751 --> 00:22:48.836
Yeah, the band over the head, yeah.

00:22:48.836 --> 00:22:50.448
And the next thing you know, you got that dent.

00:22:50.448 --> 00:22:51.932
Yeah, in the middle of the guav.

00:22:51.932 --> 00:22:54.709
Yeah, that's not, that's not fresh that's not fresh.

00:22:54.709 --> 00:22:58.526
It is not fresh because I mean I just think I don't know, it doesn't matter, I'm so.

00:22:58.546 --> 00:23:02.256
The funny thing is it is a look right like I'm like I could tell the guy's a DJ.

00:23:02.256 --> 00:23:03.830
Not saying that you don't look like a DJ.

00:23:03.830 --> 00:23:05.451
I saw it, came up and saw it in your ear.

00:23:05.451 --> 00:23:06.186
I'm like okay guys.

00:23:06.407 --> 00:23:07.391
You just spent a thousand dollars.

00:23:07.391 --> 00:23:09.175
I can tell he's not like, or more yeah.

00:23:09.175 --> 00:23:25.989
But if I didn't see that, you know I'd be like is wear it this way over it.

00:23:26.049 --> 00:23:27.251
I'm always like half on back of the neck.

00:23:27.251 --> 00:23:28.272
What about the forehead style?

00:23:28.272 --> 00:23:29.315
Isn't that a drew piercey special?

00:23:29.335 --> 00:23:32.405
uh, never, never, it was never was the king of the forehead I can't do it.

00:23:32.506 --> 00:23:33.469
I don't have that kind of forehead.

00:23:33.469 --> 00:23:34.612
I don't have a premium forehead.

00:23:34.853 --> 00:23:39.736
I can't pull that I feel like I do, but I've never gone forehead style, but I'm trying to think of what I did.

00:23:39.736 --> 00:23:41.508
No, I was definitely over the top.

00:23:41.627 --> 00:23:49.832
I'm always one on, one off, exactly right and now what I've done is it's not related to this question, but I always have a monitor unless I have 50 people or less.

00:23:49.832 --> 00:23:57.277
Wow, a monitor is a guarantee and that has allowed me to keep the volume kind of a little bit in check, because I would overcompensate.

00:23:57.277 --> 00:23:59.048
Yeah, on the main, on the main.

00:23:59.067 --> 00:24:02.236
So I could hear yeah, right, I was doing that recently.

00:24:02.236 --> 00:24:03.086
And I looked at the second one.

00:24:03.086 --> 00:24:14.549
I'm like damn, I've even gone too far for myself, right so the monitor has helped me kind of like keep would you say e-verse or something, and then I don't have to an e-verse, or I've even used a 30 and uh you've all 30.

00:24:14.549 --> 00:24:15.471
No, I mean um.

00:24:15.471 --> 00:24:17.433
I mean, is the e-verse down by your foot?

00:24:17.693 --> 00:24:20.498
yes, no on the on have used an Evers 30.

00:24:20.498 --> 00:24:28.872
Yeah, the 30's good and they match with whatever it blocks it, because it's literally right next to the main, usually is where I put it and I just crank it up and it's great.

00:24:28.872 --> 00:24:30.411
I don't have it on the entire time.

00:24:36.289 --> 00:24:38.332
Just when I'm doing mixed points, you have to show the booth out.

00:24:38.332 --> 00:24:39.313
Yeah, booth out.

00:24:39.313 --> 00:24:39.833
It's a good.

00:24:39.833 --> 00:24:40.913
It's a good gift for you.

00:24:40.913 --> 00:24:43.135
