WEBVTT
00:00:22.234 --> 00:00:23.036
what's up everybody.
00:00:23.036 --> 00:00:26.338
Welcome back to beyond the dj booth podcast.
00:00:26.338 --> 00:00:28.879
Cast casket, you like that I, I love it.
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:36.868
It's joe bunn with my guy brian b, we're back with another episode of the greatest private event dj podcast possibly in the world.
00:00:37.070 --> 00:00:37.713
I'm gonna go with it.
00:00:37.872 --> 00:00:38.555
The numbers are good.
00:00:38.555 --> 00:00:41.064
The numbers are pretty good, man, I'm proud of us.
00:00:41.265 --> 00:00:42.210
It's been still doing it.
00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:43.514
Hey, it's consistent.
00:00:43.514 --> 00:00:44.679
You can't say we don't miss.
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:45.000
We don't miss.
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:46.950
This is the last episode of season three, right.
00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:49.784
No, this is the first episode of season four.
00:00:49.784 --> 00:00:52.162
Baby, oh shit, Season four.
00:00:52.203 --> 00:00:54.545
Season four, so that means we've done 50.
00:00:54.545 --> 00:00:57.347
This will be the 53rd episode, I guess, so that's pretty good.
00:00:57.347 --> 00:00:59.201
That is, you think we'll quit or keep it going?
00:00:59.281 --> 00:01:01.284
No, I'm enjoying it, I am too.
00:01:01.526 --> 00:01:02.146
It's pretty fun.
00:01:02.146 --> 00:01:04.549
Would you enjoy it if I made you come here every week, though?
00:01:04.549 --> 00:01:04.989
Ah?
00:01:05.030 --> 00:01:05.691
yeah, that would get old.
00:01:05.852 --> 00:01:06.572
You got to batch it.
00:01:06.612 --> 00:01:07.834
I got to batch it Me too.
00:01:07.834 --> 00:01:13.099
I'm a batcher, yeah, so if you're listening to this and we don't mention anything, that's currently happening, right.
00:01:16.024 --> 00:01:20.188
We try not to mention those things very often because we don't want to get.
00:01:20.188 --> 00:01:26.501
We've had a couple of icebreakers where you've been a little underperforming, if I do say this myself.
00:01:26.501 --> 00:01:27.486
So we're going to move into music.
00:01:27.486 --> 00:01:28.954
I want to see how well you know music.
00:01:28.954 --> 00:01:36.222
I'm going to give you titles of songs and you're going to tell me are these real titles or are these fake titles, if you know the artist.
00:01:36.222 --> 00:01:37.548
Bonus points too, by the way.
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.456
Is this either real or fake?
00:01:39.456 --> 00:01:39.859
Or it's fake.
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:41.703
Okay, the name of the song is called.
00:01:41.703 --> 00:01:44.027
You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly.
00:01:44.027 --> 00:01:50.659
Do you think this is one of those romantic ballads that are crushing the airwaves, or do you think this is a fake?
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:55.572
I think it's real and it's either like an emo band or like a hardcore band.
00:01:56.962 --> 00:02:00.920
It is real, okay, but it's kind of from the 1950s, oh shit.
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.248
So this is by Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty.
00:02:04.248 --> 00:02:09.849
Wow, here's a little sample.
00:02:09.849 --> 00:02:11.835
You're the reason our kids are ugly.
00:02:11.835 --> 00:02:21.826
Little darling, oh, but looks ain't everything and money ain't everything, but I love you just the same.
00:02:21.826 --> 00:02:22.312
Looks aren't everything.
00:02:22.312 --> 00:02:24.123
Money ain't everything, but I love you still the same.
00:02:24.123 --> 00:02:26.287
Wow, you're the reason our kids are ugly.
00:02:27.139 --> 00:02:34.508
And with a dog barking in the background in the office building right now is even crazier, and that just added to the country hillbilly of that.
00:02:34.740 --> 00:02:36.025
Oh, that's classic North Carolina.
00:02:36.025 --> 00:02:37.162
All right, potential.
00:02:37.162 --> 00:02:39.264
Song number two why does it hurt when I pee?
00:02:39.264 --> 00:02:47.200
That's fake, there's no way.
00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:47.822
You don't think it's real?
00:02:47.822 --> 00:02:48.402
Nah, it is real, what do?
00:02:48.544 --> 00:02:50.728
you think is what kind of genre, what kind of what kind of feel you think this is?
00:02:50.728 --> 00:02:58.467
It's gotta be like, uh, like a white dude with dreads, but he's trying to do like a hardcore frank zappa.
00:02:58.467 --> 00:02:59.808
No, that makes sense.
00:02:59.969 --> 00:03:03.223
Actually that tracks so here it is little sample.
00:03:03.223 --> 00:03:05.471
Why does it hurt when I pee?
00:03:05.471 --> 00:03:11.495
Why does it hurt when I pee?
00:03:11.495 --> 00:03:13.366
One third of what's the fun, here we go.
00:03:13.366 --> 00:03:18.969
I don't want no doctor to stick no needle in me.
00:03:21.219 --> 00:03:22.040
Why does?
00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:26.343
it hurt when I pee Jesus.
00:03:26.544 --> 00:03:27.705
Christ dude.
00:03:27.705 --> 00:03:30.667
What the hell dude.
00:03:30.927 --> 00:03:31.848
Oh man.
00:03:31.927 --> 00:03:32.389
Third one here.
00:03:32.408 --> 00:03:33.590
How many are there Six?
00:03:33.590 --> 00:03:35.871
My Wi-Fi left me for a better router.
00:03:35.871 --> 00:03:37.231
Real or fake?
00:03:37.633 --> 00:03:40.234
I don't even know how you could put that into a melody.
00:03:40.234 --> 00:03:44.418
I'm going to say it's fake, it is fake, it is fake, okay.
00:03:47.841 --> 00:03:48.762
It's too many words.
00:03:48.782 --> 00:03:50.305
Number, number four, yank my doodle.
00:03:50.305 --> 00:03:50.907
It's a dandy.
00:03:50.907 --> 00:03:56.604
I'm gonna say, yes, it's real and it's really old, or country it is both by a guy by the name of john valby.
00:03:56.805 --> 00:03:57.325
I don't know him.
00:03:57.325 --> 00:03:58.789
I don't know him either here's a little sample.
00:03:58.810 --> 00:04:02.426
Let me hear john yank my doodle, it's a dandy.
00:04:02.426 --> 00:04:05.774
It's the good old american way.
00:04:05.774 --> 00:04:19.516
Grease me up and give a handy the original p diddy bro.
00:04:23.125 --> 00:04:27.651
All right, the next one on the list who let the cows out?
00:04:27.651 --> 00:04:31.064
You think somebody did a parody or decided to go down the animal?
00:04:31.064 --> 00:04:32.086
Yeah, I think it's real.
00:04:32.247 --> 00:04:33.790
It is fake, my friend damn it.
00:04:33.810 --> 00:04:36.125
That's two and two two and two, so the last one here.
00:04:36.125 --> 00:04:38.230
Nobody really cares if you don't go to the party.
00:04:38.230 --> 00:04:39.360
Is this a real song?
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:40.762
Is this a title?
00:04:40.762 --> 00:04:43.225
I think, it's real, it is real.
00:04:43.225 --> 00:04:46.911
Yes, sir, do you know any idea who sings it?
00:04:47.432 --> 00:04:48.773
I don't think you're going to get it, is it?
00:04:48.793 --> 00:04:49.153
country.
00:04:49.153 --> 00:04:52.805
It's not Pop song, kind of like alternative.
00:04:53.125 --> 00:04:54.591
Okay, but you would kind of figure who is it.
00:04:54.899 --> 00:04:57.327
The artist is Courtney Barnett.
00:04:57.327 --> 00:04:58.271
No, don't know her.
00:05:18.855 --> 00:05:19.995
Here's what it sounds like.
00:05:19.995 --> 00:05:20.915
I got three out of five.
00:05:20.915 --> 00:05:21.997
Yeah, I got three out of five.
00:05:21.997 --> 00:05:22.918
All right, a little over, okay.
00:05:23.601 --> 00:05:28.432
So I wanted to also just check in your Joe's journey, as we talked about early on.
00:05:28.432 --> 00:05:29.862
Boy, you've been posting the clips.
00:05:29.862 --> 00:05:30.545
You've been trying.
00:05:30.545 --> 00:05:31.367
I got A for effort.
00:05:31.408 --> 00:05:32.812
I'm going to wrap it up tomorrow I'll wrap it up.
00:05:32.812 --> 00:05:46.334
I mean, I'm not going to wrap up the Wow.
00:05:46.494 --> 00:05:48.755
And you think it's all because of there's.
00:05:48.815 --> 00:05:49.776
nothing else has changed.
00:05:49.819 --> 00:05:51.043
You're not eating any less.
00:05:51.043 --> 00:05:53.228
You're eating the same, but just differently.
00:05:53.430 --> 00:05:55.601
Correct, I'm not eating any less.
00:05:55.601 --> 00:06:00.913
It's just different foods than I would normally eat in a seven day week.
00:06:00.913 --> 00:06:02.783
So will this taper off?
00:06:02.783 --> 00:06:04.906
Yeah, I can't.
00:06:04.906 --> 00:06:09.512
Yes, that will be my post tomorrow, the way I've done it, and it'll be a month tomorrow.
00:06:09.512 --> 00:06:13.281
I started on the first, tomorrow's, the 29th, exactly one month the way I've done.
00:06:13.281 --> 00:06:16.509
It was too extreme, too much, too far.
00:06:16.509 --> 00:06:17.951
Yeah, I would say so.
00:06:17.971 --> 00:06:18.934
I thought that all.
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.329
Because I can't do all sugar, all simple carbs, all at one time.
00:06:24.649 --> 00:06:25.250
Cutting it off.
00:06:25.891 --> 00:06:26.874
It's not sustainable.
00:06:26.874 --> 00:06:34.507
I would never be able to carry it on Like I cook probably four out of seven nights for whoever's at home that night.
00:06:34.507 --> 00:06:36.175
That's not sustainable.
00:06:36.175 --> 00:06:37.177
They don't want to eat that shit.
00:06:37.177 --> 00:06:41.079
It's not sustainable because every day I usually like to go out to lunch somewhere, right?
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:41.862
So what's the move?
00:06:41.862 --> 00:06:45.410
I'm going on vacation Saturday, like that's not sustainable, right?
00:06:45.410 --> 00:06:51.161
The move is the move for anybody watching is start with the sodas.
00:06:51.302 --> 00:06:51.983
Cut out the sodas.
00:06:52.290 --> 00:06:53.295
Were you a soda guy.
00:06:53.415 --> 00:06:54.278
I didn't realize you were.
00:06:54.278 --> 00:06:55.654
I was a Coke.
00:06:55.896 --> 00:07:01.112
Really, I didn't know this coke guy.
00:07:01.112 --> 00:07:01.754
I've never seen you with a coke.
00:07:01.754 --> 00:07:05.449
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, like anytime I'd go to lunch, I'd either get coke or sweet tea, and I'd argue sweet tea's probably worse.
00:07:05.449 --> 00:07:08.978
Okay, I don't, because I when they make sweet tea here.
00:07:08.978 --> 00:07:13.435
I watched my mom make sweet tea this past weekend for my son and his friends at the beach.
00:07:13.435 --> 00:07:18.014
It was fucking crazy how out of a pitcher of tea she put.
00:07:18.014 --> 00:07:20.163
I remember my mom used to do it.
00:07:20.264 --> 00:07:33.492
It was probably two cups, yeah, yeah, of just white sugar, sugar in it, yeah and then, while it was hot, stirred in there and then the vanilla lattes you know, with either even skim milk, but it's got all those pumps of that vanilla sugar right sweetener.
00:07:33.492 --> 00:07:38.083
So kill the sodas, the red bull at three o'clock pretty much clockwork, every day.
00:07:38.250 --> 00:08:02.904
Kill that, the sodas, the sweet tea, and then, starting the day with that blueberry muffin or a scone or cinnamon bun or sticky bun at that bakery is the worst way to start the day, apparently, and I think all those things cumulatively, going into my 50s, was literally just adding up to pre-diabetic.
00:08:02.904 --> 00:08:08.923
So shout out to that function health test for being like yo, you need to pump the brakes on the sugar shit.
00:08:08.923 --> 00:08:14.701
And I was able to do that and I think it is sustainable for me to cold turkey all of that stuff.
00:08:14.701 --> 00:08:20.480
Now, cutting out, you know, a sandwich with bread or a Chick-fil-A every once in a while.
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.478
I won't be able to do that, and just eating a salad every day, it's just not sustainable.
00:08:24.478 --> 00:08:28.516
So I've realized what I can do and I know I'll stick to the drinks.
00:08:28.516 --> 00:08:28.997
How's?
00:08:29.017 --> 00:08:29.439
your energy.
00:08:29.619 --> 00:08:30.461
I don't feel any different.
00:08:30.461 --> 00:08:32.303
People keep asking me that I don't feel any different.
00:08:32.303 --> 00:08:34.017
I've always had high energy.
00:08:34.017 --> 00:08:35.272
I've always slept great.
00:08:35.272 --> 00:08:45.385
I always will go to the gym four days a week, no matter if I'm on the road or in Raleigh or whatever, and give, you know, a hard 45 minute workout in some sort of group class setting.
00:08:45.385 --> 00:08:47.817
So I don't feel any different.
00:08:47.817 --> 00:08:53.022
I definitely was close to 200 pounds, which is too heavy for as short as I am.
00:08:53.022 --> 00:09:02.962
All of the last, probably two, three, four years, every time I've gone to the doctor, like right up in the 190eties and I'm like down to one 83, I've probably lost at least 12 pounds.
00:09:03.182 --> 00:09:05.770
What's the expectation when you do the retest?
00:09:05.770 --> 00:09:06.192
What do you?
00:09:06.192 --> 00:09:06.914
Where are you on it?
00:09:06.914 --> 00:09:07.034
I?
00:09:07.155 --> 00:09:08.740
need for these and they have.
00:09:08.740 --> 00:09:13.721
You know these technical terms for this cholesterol and this kind of APOB or whatever.
00:09:13.721 --> 00:09:16.556
Like I need these numbers to be more in range.
00:09:16.556 --> 00:09:18.081
Right, I need more numbers.
00:09:18.081 --> 00:09:22.734
I think there was 108 tests when it was all done and 18 were out of range.
00:09:22.734 --> 00:09:25.580
I need like 10 of those 18 to be back in range.
00:09:25.580 --> 00:09:30.905
Let's say I don't think it'll be, I'm gonna be, you know, superman, right, and have nothing out of range.
00:09:30.926 --> 00:09:38.533
I don't think any human probably has that right but I need that to be in range and I think I'll feel a lot more comfortable well, kudos for going this far.
00:09:38.553 --> 00:09:40.299
I gotta got to say I did it, man.
00:09:40.450 --> 00:09:54.538
I mean, you know, I think I just should have started with the sodas and then worked, you know, backwards on more protein, less bread, less pasta stuff like that, right, and tapered that off instead of going full cold turkey.
00:09:54.538 --> 00:09:57.253
My goal really wasn't to lose weight, right?
00:09:57.253 --> 00:09:58.134
I remember you saying that.
00:09:58.354 --> 00:10:02.499
Yeah, I still stand by that, but it was a natural occurrence of cutting out all that sugar.
00:10:02.499 --> 00:10:05.062
Hey, want to make more money at every single event.
00:10:05.062 --> 00:10:07.865

I didn't really talk about my gigs.
00:10:36.607 --> 00:10:38.371
We had a couple gigs.
00:10:38.371 --> 00:10:44.477
We did a really small wedding at this interesting venue in Raleigh and we were on this kind of like the bottom of the staircase.
00:10:44.477 --> 00:10:48.096
Almost You've been there before, I have, and normally they put you up in the balcony.
00:10:48.096 --> 00:10:49.120
Oh, I hate that.
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.443
Oh, 75, 80 feet from the dance floor, yeah.
00:10:55.294 --> 00:10:58.619
I literally would like to have to send Saquon over the balcony down to the floor.
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.912
It's the worst it's like say go on, go out there and see if people are having fun, because I have no clue that's how far away.
00:11:03.912 --> 00:11:10.238
But they put me on the landing at the bottom of the staircase and it was kind of cool, a beautiful room flip they did for this venue.
00:11:10.238 --> 00:11:18.880
I thought we had a great party there and then we led right into last weekend another great party, brand new venue that's open, donovan manor, that my friend jill owns.
00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:21.692
Yeah, and a little bit weird where we were set up.
00:11:21.732 --> 00:11:27.596
But this was half american, half persian oh, you don't get the ethnic weddings, but not a ton not a ton.
00:11:27.755 --> 00:11:39.440
You know, a couple of year I'll catch and um they don't load you up blonde hair blue eyed girl, a friend of mine, that was a professional like entertainment dancer, not the wrong kind of dancer, right like she's a choreographer.
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.634
She was on the uh carolina dance team.
00:11:41.673 --> 00:11:46.815
She cheered for the wizards like yeah she's a real dancer, she's in the wedding party, she's the bride.
00:11:46.815 --> 00:11:47.578
Oh, she's the bride.
00:11:47.578 --> 00:11:49.285
So she was out there just killing it.
00:11:49.285 --> 00:11:51.653
And then the groom is, uh, iranian.
00:11:51.653 --> 00:11:59.779
I mean it was 160 people and saquon, wouldn't you say it was about 50, 50 like yeah, maybe not 50, 50, 60, 40, 60 40.
00:11:59.779 --> 00:12:05.698
There were 40 people that were of persian descent like, so does that and I'm not saying they flew over for the wedding.
00:12:05.719 --> 00:12:07.254
They've been living in the united states.
00:12:07.254 --> 00:12:09.626
Their children were second generation, whatever, whatever.
00:12:09.626 --> 00:12:10.730
But did you have to go heavier?
00:12:10.730 --> 00:12:12.855
Yes, oh yeah, and they want to hear.
00:12:12.875 --> 00:12:15.139
Oh, they do, they want to hear that shit.
00:12:15.981 --> 00:12:21.951
So I I luckily been been given the music and I'd listened to it and figured out kind of where it went in.
00:12:21.951 --> 00:12:33.743
But my set got shortened, the timeline ran long, the speeches were too long, the blah blah blah dinner too, yeah, and I felt like I really had to shove like 83 songs into like 90 minutes.
00:12:33.743 --> 00:12:40.467
Wow, and I probably got through 60, but you know, it's like I needed it to breathe a little bit more and I felt rushed.
00:12:40.688 --> 00:12:41.289
Were there any they?
00:12:41.331 --> 00:12:42.534
were super happy man.
00:12:42.655 --> 00:12:43.258
That's amazing.
00:12:43.258 --> 00:12:48.456
Were there any songs that, like I notice a lot of times these ethnicities they like do covers of American songs?
00:12:48.517 --> 00:12:55.071
There were none of those, no there were none of those, but it was like there was two or three types of Persian songs, just like.
00:12:55.091 --> 00:12:56.111
There are like like.
00:12:56.152 --> 00:12:56.831
Hispanic songs.
00:12:56.831 --> 00:12:58.892
There's salsa merengue, there's bachata, blah, blah, blah.
00:12:58.971 --> 00:12:59.993
What was a good mix?
00:12:59.993 --> 00:13:00.572
You did that.
00:13:00.572 --> 00:13:02.052
You can in or out of one.
00:13:02.452 --> 00:13:06.154
There's a dude named S-A-S-Y I don't know if that's Sassy or Sassy.
00:13:06.154 --> 00:13:09.741
His songs were good, but there were some that sounded older.
00:13:09.741 --> 00:13:11.695
Yeah and the time signature.
00:13:11.695 --> 00:13:12.913
The time signature was crazy.
00:13:13.134 --> 00:13:15.023
Saquon was like what the fuck is happening?
00:13:15.023 --> 00:13:17.947
I was trying to groove with it.
00:13:19.057 --> 00:13:22.907
It was like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:13:23.957 --> 00:13:28.543
It wasn't like that boom, that boom that boom, but the way they were dancing it was like Persian.
00:13:28.543 --> 00:13:31.615
Yeah, they're like moving around the room.
00:13:31.615 --> 00:13:37.139
They were feeling it, bro, but me and Saquon were like something's crazy with this beat right now, like how am I going?
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:37.721
to get out of it?
00:13:37.721 --> 00:13:39.121
I think I just let them play out.
00:13:39.182 --> 00:13:39.701
You know what I mean.
00:13:39.701 --> 00:13:41.102
Just move on to the next song.
00:13:41.243 --> 00:13:43.865
It was a wild ride, man, but they, she had a blast.
00:13:43.865 --> 00:13:54.621
We had the sweetest Instagram DM yesterday about how everybody was complimenting her, how I've just kind of moved magically between the two genres, right, you know what I mean.
00:13:54.621 --> 00:13:57.340
It wasn't like I played two Persian songs, I mean, I probably played 10 or 12.
00:13:57.340 --> 00:13:58.224
It was good, man.
