New Year’s Eve doesn’t give DJs room for autopilot, it demands intention. We kick things off with the tiny details that matter on the biggest night of the year: clean transitions, tight loadouts, smart routing, and why “Happy New Years” needs to finally retire. Then we break down a viral clip of a planner sliding down a staircase to save a dress train and use it to talk vendor awareness, timing, and how to help without becoming the main character.

But the heart of this episode is a deep dive into the reaction records that never missed in 2025. From Montell Jordan into a Fresh Prince flip, to Pitbull heat, Rihanna’s “We Found Love,” Nicki’s “Super Bass,” a Hollaback Girl × Unwritten mash that crushes peak hour, and a lean, chorus-first “Dancing Queen” - we unpack why these songs still hit. You’ll get practical programming notes on when to go original vs edit, how to use double-hook entries to keep momentum, and the surprise bridges that turn “oh no” into “oh THIS is fire.”

We also revisit DJC Recharge: why fewer DJs with longer sets created deeper learning, and how "connection sessions" replaced panels with real-time crate improvement. Plus, a look at 2026’s silent-disco learning model, designed to multiply voices without multiplying noise.

A listener question rounds things out: how do you keep a wedding on track when the bride warns her mom will overstep? We share calm scripts, firm boundaries, and our north star: protect the couple’s vision while keeping the night moving.

If you love timeless bangers, vendor craft, and sharper programming, this one’s for you. If it resonates, share it with a DJ friend and drop a review with your guaranteed floor-filler, we might feature it next week.

Welcome back to Beyond the DJ Booth.

00:01:45.260 --> 00:01:46.939
I am one of your hosts, Joe Bunn.

00:01:47.019 --> 00:01:49.099
That right there is my boy Brian B.

00:01:49.579 --> 00:01:50.620
And last year.

00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:54.459
Yeah, before we go any further, happy freaking new year.

00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:59.900
This is the this episode will come out on the last day of the year, December 31st.

00:02:00.219 --> 00:02:01.260
You always say this.

00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:03.819
I think you catch anybody who says this, I think, if you're the one.

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:04.299
I can't remember.

00:02:04.780 --> 00:02:05.260
I am the one.

00:02:05.420 --> 00:02:07.099
Yeah, you don't like it with the apostrophe.

00:02:07.340 --> 00:02:07.659
Fuck it.

00:02:07.819 --> 00:02:08.139
No.

00:02:08.379 --> 00:02:09.659
It has to have the apostrophe.

00:02:09.819 --> 00:02:12.620
It has to have the it it it here we go.

00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:13.740
Do you remember this little thing?

00:02:16.139 --> 00:02:17.819
If I if you hold on.

00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:19.340
Let's go to the off the record.

00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:20.539
Uh off the record.

00:02:20.699 --> 00:02:22.539
Let me talk my sugar on the icy.

00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:25.020
They throw a shame while I'm sipping on this icy.

00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:27.500
Don't care if you hate on it like me.

00:02:27.740 --> 00:02:29.740
You know my possessions on ice me.

00:02:34.939 --> 00:02:36.539
I'm gonna say what I want to say.

00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:38.379
Time to rant and ready.

00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:39.659
Get out the way.

00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:51.020
All right, go on with your rap.

00:02:53.419 --> 00:03:02.139
If I hear anybody tonight or tomorrow, come up to me and say happy new years.

00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:04.539
I'm gonna slap the shit out of you.

00:03:04.939 --> 00:03:06.539
It's not happy new year.

00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:09.259
It's happy new year.

00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:14.460
And today, when this episode comes out, is New Year's Eve.

00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:18.219
New Year Apotrophe S Eve.

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:20.379
There is no incident.

00:03:20.699 --> 00:03:28.860
There is no way that you should ever go to somebody and go, Happy New Year! Doesn't fucking make sense.

00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:31.580
So please, please don't say it.

00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:32.939
Please don't write it.

00:03:33.099 --> 00:03:39.099
Please don't do it because it doesn't make sense in the English language.

00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:40.060
Thank you.

00:03:40.780 --> 00:03:41.659
End of rant.

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:42.300
Oh man.

00:03:42.379 --> 00:03:43.979
And you got a wedding tonight.

00:03:44.139 --> 00:03:44.699
Oh shit.

00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:45.500
So do you, right?

00:03:45.740 --> 00:03:45.979
I do.

00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:46.860
I'll be out of town.

00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:48.060
You'll be in town.

00:03:48.219 --> 00:03:50.539
Are you nervous about driving home from that thing?

00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:52.699
Or here's the good news.

00:03:52.860 --> 00:03:53.819
You got another driver.

00:03:54.139 --> 00:03:55.259
No, it's right across the top.

00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:56.139
It's three minutes away.

00:03:56.219 --> 00:03:56.860
Oh, three minutes away.

00:03:57.259 --> 00:03:57.580
Three minutes.

00:03:57.819 --> 00:03:58.699
We're Merriman Wynn.

00:03:58.780 --> 00:03:59.020
Oh, okay.

00:03:59.099 --> 00:03:59.819
We're Merriman Wynn.

00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:00.539
We're where we're at.

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:01.180
Oh, that's good.

00:04:01.340 --> 00:04:03.259
The DJ Collective this year.

00:04:03.340 --> 00:04:05.419
And so it's right around the corner.

00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:10.139
And to be fair, I think we will be out of there way before two o'clock.

00:04:10.219 --> 00:04:10.939
We'll be home.

00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:11.259
Okay.

00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:15.659
Loaded out in bed by 1 15, I'm calling it.

00:04:15.819 --> 00:04:16.220
Yeah.

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:17.980
Including the loadout.

00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:19.899
So we're we're going to miss the two o'clock.

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:24.459
And then of course we'll miss the 12 o'clock rush from the people leaving downtown where the priority so far.

00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:27.420
So we kind of are in that middle spot.

00:04:27.500 --> 00:04:28.860
And I don't drink when I play.

00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:30.620
So I think I'm safe.

00:04:30.779 --> 00:04:31.019
Okay.

00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:31.259
All right.

00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:32.860
And we're in a giant sprinter band.

00:04:32.939 --> 00:04:33.740
So let's go.

00:04:34.379 --> 00:04:34.939
Get out.

00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:35.339
Yeah.

00:04:36.379 --> 00:04:39.339
The A-Team had a big, you know, black van, and they were always safe.

00:04:39.579 --> 00:04:39.660
Yeah.

00:04:39.819 --> 00:04:40.060
We're good.

00:04:40.379 --> 00:04:40.620
We're good.

00:04:40.779 --> 00:04:41.339
Shout out the A Teams.

00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:42.860
You didn't know what the A Team is.

00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:43.420
Yeah, I do.

00:04:43.660 --> 00:04:44.139
Who was in it?

00:04:44.220 --> 00:04:45.420
Who was the black guy?

00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:46.860
Mr.

00:04:47.019 --> 00:04:47.259
T.

00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:47.899
Yeah, Mr.

00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:48.220
T.

00:04:48.620 --> 00:04:51.980
I want to make sure that somebody in their 20s knew where the A-T was.

00:04:52.379 --> 00:04:55.819
Well, let's uh thank our friends, as we like to call them.

00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:56.540
Ooh, our friends.

Yes, sir.

00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:04.139
I haven't seen him in a hot minute.

00:05:04.300 --> 00:05:05.579
I haven't seen him in a hot minute.

00:05:05.660 --> 00:05:06.540
Trent, where are you?

00:05:06.699 --> 00:05:08.620
Yeah, come back to come back to us.

00:05:08.860 --> 00:05:10.939
Brad from Queen City DJs.

00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:12.139
You think that's Charlotte?

00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:13.420
That's the Queen City.

00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:14.860
Or is that New York City?

00:05:15.019 --> 00:05:16.779
Is that also the Queens?

00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:17.339
Queens.

00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:18.060
I don't know.

00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:18.939
Queen City, I don't know.

00:05:19.019 --> 00:05:19.819
I think it's Charlotte.

00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:22.139
John from Ohio, Bulflighting.

00:05:22.939 --> 00:05:23.420
Yeah, good dude.

Yeah, a couple.

Thank you guys for tuning in and for also just supporting the channel and supporting the Patreon.

00:05:38.779 --> 00:05:39.180
Appreciate it.

00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:40.540
Thank you guys.

00:05:40.699 --> 00:05:41.100
Yeah.

00:05:41.339 --> 00:05:43.660
Well, uh, let's see what's on our next segment here.

00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:56.139
Um, oh, so pop culture saw this uh a few weeks ago, so this is gonna be definitely dated by the time we see it, but I just thought this video clip is worth talking about because it has to do with weddings.

00:05:56.540 --> 00:05:59.660
So this it's a minute and some change, so just let it roll.

00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:00.139
Okay.

00:08:01.420 --> 00:08:01.819
I did, yeah.

00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:02.139
Okay.

00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:02.620
I did.

00:08:02.860 --> 00:08:03.660
That is nuts.

00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:05.180
What is your take on it?

00:08:05.420 --> 00:08:07.420
I I mean, I don't know.

00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:11.500
I think there's certain ones where that can be no big deal.

00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:16.459
I think there are certain hyper like if that's a celebrity wedding, I don't know, man.

00:08:16.540 --> 00:08:19.420
Like, I probably would not be that's going everywhere, right?

00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:24.540
Like, and so if it was happening at a Florida venue of mine, no one's gonna care at all.

00:08:24.699 --> 00:08:25.420
You know what I mean?

00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:27.180
But something that is so high profile.

00:08:27.339 --> 00:08:31.019
Now, I don't know about this one, wasn't obviously, but I don't know.

00:08:31.180 --> 00:08:41.820
I would be No, I I guess I'm looking at it more from a standpoint of like, do you think that the the the wedding planner is in the wrong for sliding down, or do you think that like she went above and beyond?

00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:42.700
I think.

00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:46.860
Well, I don't even know.

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:51.980
We don't know the situation because it looks like maybe she should have already looked like she should have already been down there.

00:08:52.139 --> 00:08:52.379
Yes.

00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:53.259
Okay, good point.

00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:53.820
Good point.

00:08:54.059 --> 00:08:55.820
But she also had to get it right then.

00:08:55.899 --> 00:08:57.500
She had to get down there, right?

00:08:57.820 --> 00:09:05.340
And so then I in in it also let's let's keep in mind that is a crowd shot video.

00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:05.820
Right.

00:09:05.980 --> 00:09:10.539
That's not that she's nowhere in the videographer's shot of her and her dad walking down.

00:09:10.779 --> 00:09:11.899
Well, she came across the back.

00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:14.059
No, she went on the side though.

00:09:14.299 --> 00:09:23.980
No, she does come across the back and then hits the side, but but but during the main the the res uh processional down the stairs out of the way, she's out, right?

00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:27.419
And she she cruises down the side to fix I dude.

00:09:27.500 --> 00:09:28.539
I gotta give her props.

00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:31.259
I mean, it's a bold stunt move, though.

00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:32.620
Like, it is nuts.

00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:36.460
And it's like leads me to think like, has she worked at the avenue before?

00:09:36.539 --> 00:09:37.740
Did she know she was gonna do that?

00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:42.860
Was it like just like like I would have rather seen I I don't give a shit about the bride's side.

00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:47.019
I wouldn't I want to like call up that lady and go, what's this planned?

00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:47.899
Have you done it before?

00:09:48.059 --> 00:09:49.419
Right, what made you slide down there?

00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:51.259
My guess.

00:09:51.340 --> 00:09:53.259
And she damn near broke her damn leg.

00:09:56.299 --> 00:09:57.500
A little concussion, right?

00:09:57.659 --> 00:10:01.419
Like she's out for two more weeks, hobbles over there and fixes the dress.

00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:02.700
I mean, I think the lady's a freaking.

00:10:04.220 --> 00:10:04.379
Right.

00:10:04.940 --> 00:10:06.860
Like her leg is damn buckled under.

00:10:07.259 --> 00:10:12.460
No, um, the other thing is I just know wedding planners in general and coordinators, they've got a million things going on.

00:10:12.700 --> 00:10:13.179
A million.

00:10:13.340 --> 00:10:18.059
So they're probably like, and she maybe she had something else that would call her attention and she had to rush over there.

00:10:18.139 --> 00:10:20.220
So there's a lot of factors that we don't know.

00:10:20.460 --> 00:10:21.340
I think it's badass.

00:10:21.419 --> 00:10:21.580
Yeah.

00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:23.019
It's very Jason born.

00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:26.539
But okay, it leads me to this, I guess, with the DJing side.

00:10:26.779 --> 00:10:34.299
Do you ever think about that in terms of like when you're doing something like our guest looking or a thousand percent when you have an assistant?

00:10:34.539 --> 00:10:35.340
A thousand percent.

00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:43.740
Saquon and I scatter multiple times a night during different moments from behind that DJ booth to not be in the video, to not be in the pictures.

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:44.940
That's where I was going with it.

00:10:45.259 --> 00:10:50.220
And in fact, when we had that vendor panel, you heard somebody say Joe is really good at getting out of the way.

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:50.860
Yeah.

00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:53.500
It is very important to me.

00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:54.620
Officiance.

00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:55.740
That's like a big one.

00:10:55.899 --> 00:10:56.299
Yeah, right.

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:56.460
Yeah.

00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:00.700
Or the first kids have to get out of that picture.

00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:05.100
Like even the ones that have no clue what they're doing up there, right?

00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:08.059
I feel like that is the one thing that they've been told.

00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:08.379
Right.

00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:09.019
You know what I mean?

00:11:09.100 --> 00:11:14.460
Like the people that signed the the church or whatever online and get their certificate and have never officiated.

00:11:14.779 --> 00:11:25.740
For some reason, I feel like the the planner at least says, look, if if if you remember nothing else from this, get the f out of the way during that last or during that first kiss.

00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:28.779
So what are the I'm just curious because maybe I'll learn something here from you.

00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:32.220
What are what are the uh moments that you kind of get out of the way for?

00:11:32.539 --> 00:11:33.980
Anything special dance-wise.

00:11:34.139 --> 00:11:34.299
Okay.

00:11:34.379 --> 00:11:42.379
Um if if I know that I'm in a shot or know where they're shooting from, I'm I am definitely moving out of the shot.

00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:43.340
Not a duck.

00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:43.980
What do you mean?

00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:44.539
Ducking.

00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:45.419
No, no, no.

00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:47.659
I don't think you've got enough width to duck behind the car.

00:11:47.899 --> 00:11:48.460
Not the booner.

00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:49.259
Not behind the booth.

00:11:49.419 --> 00:11:49.980
Not that booth.

00:11:50.059 --> 00:11:51.419
If you got a TV booth, you can duck.

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:51.659
Yeah.

00:11:51.820 --> 00:11:52.539
You can hit the duck.

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:54.460
Just like yeah, just go down low.

00:11:54.620 --> 00:11:54.940
Tokyo.

00:11:55.179 --> 00:11:55.740
Eat a little snack.

00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:56.940
You see someone's hands.

00:11:57.019 --> 00:11:57.259
Just go.

00:11:58.220 --> 00:12:02.460
Have a little snacky snack back by but behind those TV boots, you can get a lot done.

00:12:02.700 --> 00:12:07.340
Now, let me ask you though, if they wanted a shorted dance, shortened, shortened dance.

00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:08.940
Yeah, which most people do.

00:12:09.179 --> 00:12:13.419
How are you juggling like I mean, could you are you watching the screen from that far off?

00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:15.419
Are you not that far away where you can still see it?

00:12:15.580 --> 00:12:16.299
I'm not that far away.

00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:19.259
And again, normally it's it's it's um video.

00:12:19.340 --> 00:12:23.980
I'm probably in it, but photography, photo-wise, I'm trying to get out of that picture.

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:29.659
And and again, you know, it's like they also know the know the room, know where they want to shoot it.

00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:29.980
Right.

00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:34.460
You know, a lot of times they don't want the DJ in the background, even though we have this gorgeous gear.

00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:40.620
Yeah, they would rather have the picturesque window or you know, uh 150 guests or whatever.

00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:44.860
Like, but I if I see them shooting our way, we're just both like, whoa.

00:12:45.100 --> 00:12:47.659
Or or a family picture, you know, that's gone.

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:50.700
Hey, family picture in front of the DJ booth or family picture over here.

00:12:51.019 --> 00:12:52.539
Saquon and I are both like, whoa.

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:54.139
Or like if they do toast.

00:12:54.539 --> 00:12:54.860
Toast?

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:56.700
Yeah, toast is another one, yeah.

00:12:56.779 --> 00:13:00.620
Especially if the toast are right in front of the booth, you know, I'll introduce them, walk out in front of the booth.

00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:04.299
Ladies and gentlemen, the father of the ride, you know, John Smith, boom, hand him the mic.

00:13:04.379 --> 00:13:13.100
I'm yeah, like I don't want to be standing beside him, like I'm just some shit freaking, you know, uh like lost nephew over there, like, hey, what's up, guys?

00:13:13.419 --> 00:13:15.259
The other one where I I don't get this as much.

00:13:15.419 --> 00:13:18.379
I did have one this year, so I I this is fresh because it just happened.

00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:27.019
But when they do the choreographer choreographed dance, yeah, and they're everyone's got their phones out, everyone's doing this for the mother and the son or whoever, father or daughter.

00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:28.299
Sure, that's when I get out.

00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:28.940
I hit play.

00:13:29.179 --> 00:13:35.740
Plus, yeah, uh, if it's a bad mix that they put together themselves, just like it doesn't look like you're up there train breaking it.

00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:36.220
Yeah, right.

00:13:36.460 --> 00:13:37.820
No, they put this together, right?

00:13:37.899 --> 00:13:38.059
Right.

00:13:38.700 --> 00:13:39.259
You know what I mean?

00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:41.419
Yeah, with like the thriller in the middle type shit.

00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:43.259
Okay, so we're doing the same, yeah, basically.

00:13:43.419 --> 00:13:45.740
Yeah, I just I just I don't want to be in that picture, man.

00:13:46.059 --> 00:13:49.419
Totally as much as I would love photographers to shoot me, I don't want to be in those.

00:13:49.580 --> 00:13:50.779
Well, let's move to some music.

00:13:50.940 --> 00:13:51.259
Okay.

00:14:18.779 --> 00:14:23.259
So when we did the episode with Mike Walter, we kind of hit this a little bit.

00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:31.019
We talked about top songs of 2025, but I feel like we kind of just talked about songs that came out in 2025 for the most part.

00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:31.259
Okay.

00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:45.740
We weren't talking about biggest reaction songs in 2025, meaning songs that could have been from the 70s or you're just your your biggest reaction songs you're getting in gigs in 2025, which could be old tracks, whatever.

00:14:46.059 --> 00:14:53.820
Um, I know we're gonna put you on the spot in a minute, but like top 10, or even if you give me top five, I can start because I actually made a list.

00:14:53.899 --> 00:14:58.779
I'm not gonna play these, but let's just say there'll be some bonus content if you are on the Patreon with the channel.

00:14:58.940 --> 00:14:59.580
Winky, winky.

00:14:59.659 --> 00:15:00.700
Yeah, I'll just leave it at that.

00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:03.340
So this is in no particular order.

00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:12.700
Um, but one of the biggest ones, reactions for one is one that I put together from a routine I kind of put together, which is This Is How We Do It, which is a great song, anyways.

00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:13.740
Great song, you're right.

00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:17.419
Into uh Fresh Prince of Bel Air over that same beat.

00:15:17.899 --> 00:15:20.059
And it always crushed for me.

00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:22.860
I had it um This is something you made a while back.

00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:23.580
A while back.

00:15:23.659 --> 00:15:26.059
And basically when I sent it to Joe Bunn, though.

00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:27.899
I haven't sent it, I haven't sent it.

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:35.580
Uh, but what I'll tell you is that it uh has an a cappella out, so it's like a cold out basically, so that I can drop into anything after that.

00:15:35.740 --> 00:15:37.659
Okay, it's just unexpected.

00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:39.740
Fresh Prince of Bel Air still crushes.

00:15:39.899 --> 00:15:41.500
Are you playing that anyways in shows?

00:15:41.740 --> 00:15:43.580
I have, I have, but it's it not often.

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:44.539
Should play it by the way.

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:46.299
I know because it's the right demographic.

00:15:46.539 --> 00:15:47.179
Great demographic.

00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:49.179
It would have killed at that Epic Games Party.

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:49.659
Yes.

00:15:49.899 --> 00:15:51.659
Epic Games Party would have killed.

00:15:51.820 --> 00:15:52.700
I need it, I need it.

00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:53.019
All right.

00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:55.980
So, what would be just one of ten that you can think of?

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:57.419
I'm not expecting you to have.

00:15:58.940 --> 00:16:07.259
Um, I I'll I'll say, man, anything is still, and and I know it's been God, probably 10 years since he was super hot.

00:16:07.580 --> 00:16:09.419
Anything pit bull still kills for us.

00:16:09.580 --> 00:16:09.980
Really?

00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:12.620
Hotel room service smashes.

00:16:12.860 --> 00:16:15.179
Give me everything tonight, smashes.

00:16:15.419 --> 00:16:23.100
Uh, even like the old like OG Pitbull stuff, like Kaylecho, yeah, um uh um Timber with Kesha.

00:16:23.419 --> 00:16:27.259
Like to me, man, it uh and I'll say the same thing.

00:16:27.340 --> 00:16:30.620
I'll I'll I'll ditto it for for Flow Rider, man.

00:16:30.700 --> 00:16:30.860
Yeah.

00:16:31.019 --> 00:16:33.340
I mean, uh Lowe Steel Crushes.

00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:39.340
Uh we've played um uh in the A or A or have you played that in a while?

00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:40.620
No, I haven't played that one.

00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:42.220
I mean save some of these.

00:16:42.460 --> 00:16:45.179
And we and I was gonna go back fourth.

00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:45.659
All right, okay.

00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:47.500
So you let's go with your pit bull.

00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:47.740
Okay.

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:50.220
Biggest pit bull song is what, hotel room service?

00:16:50.379 --> 00:16:50.620
Yes.

00:16:50.779 --> 00:16:51.019
Okay.

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:51.659
That was on my list.

00:16:51.980 --> 00:16:52.379
Reactionary.

00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:53.419
I mean I'll switch out.

00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:55.500
Oh, tell, oh, tell.

00:16:55.740 --> 00:17:02.460
Like where you can like literally hear over your music, and I'm like looking at Segwall, I'm like, oh, we got a banger.

00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:07.099
Like, if you're hearing people scream, yes, that chorus, oh yeah, holiday in.

00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:08.779
I'm like, oh, we're we're in it.

00:17:09.019 --> 00:17:14.380
So my number two is Hollowback Girl versus Unwritten.

00:17:14.619 --> 00:17:20.299
It is undefeated in my book because that is your go-to version of Unwritten.

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:23.180
And I got it originally from DeVille.

00:17:23.339 --> 00:17:23.420
Okay.

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:24.940
It's DeVille's shout out DeVille.

00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:27.980
However, I didn't like it because it just had the blend only.

00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:31.019
Like it was just unwritten over the hollow back girl beat.

00:17:31.099 --> 00:17:33.579
And I'm like, you need hollow back girl in this track.

00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:33.819
Okay.

00:17:34.140 --> 00:17:34.940
That's like a go.

00:17:35.339 --> 00:17:40.859
Like, if you play that blend and you do not have Hollowback Girl in there, you're wasting a great song.

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:41.099
Yeah.

00:17:41.259 --> 00:17:44.779
So I blended the two together so that I have a little bit of Hollowat Girl in there.

00:17:44.940 --> 00:17:45.339
I do have that.

00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:48.059
Then it goes into the surprise of Unwritten.

00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:48.539
Right.

00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:56.299
I know you play the scooter edit of Unwritten primarily, but I feel like that one's kind of got like a drag of a instrumental behind it.

00:17:56.380 --> 00:17:57.579
And you have to play it later.

00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:59.900
This one plays peak hour for me.

00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:00.859
Crushes.

00:18:01.099 --> 00:18:07.660
I don't, I can't seem to get off the the scooter surprise edit with the the marshmallow Bastille beat.

00:18:07.819 --> 00:18:08.059
Yeah.

00:18:08.299 --> 00:18:08.619
Interesting.

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:09.500
Happier.

00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:10.140
Yeah.

00:18:10.380 --> 00:18:12.700
So is that still, would you put this in this list?

00:18:13.420 --> 00:18:14.059
A thousand percent.

00:18:14.299 --> 00:18:15.500
Number like one of your biggest.

00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:16.460
Yes, sir.

00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:16.700
All right.

00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:17.099
Yes, sir.

00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:18.700
You're hearing it whether you want to or not.

00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:19.660
Number three.

00:18:20.140 --> 00:18:21.339
Same with We Found Love.

00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:22.460
Okay, that's gonna be on this list.

00:18:22.539 --> 00:18:23.180
So let's go with that.

00:18:23.660 --> 00:18:25.500
We found Love OG version.

00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:26.859
Absolutely.

00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:27.259
Okay.

00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:30.140
I would I would never bastardize it.

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:33.180
Know that I want to dance with somebody with that.

00:18:33.339 --> 00:18:34.460
Absolutely not.

00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:36.299
So are you playing a short edit?

00:18:36.380 --> 00:18:39.500
Are you playing just DJ intro in?

00:18:39.660 --> 00:18:39.980
Yeah.

00:18:40.059 --> 00:18:40.140
Okay.

00:18:40.299 --> 00:18:41.660
No, there ain't even a DJ intro.

00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:43.420
It starts with bam, bam, bam, bam, baby.

00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:43.980
Oh, wow.

00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:46.140
Interesting.

00:18:46.380 --> 00:18:48.619
Because it's got to go long, it does like don't care.

00:18:49.579 --> 00:18:50.619
You're gonna keep below it.

00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:53.099
You're gonna sit here and absorb how good this is.

00:18:53.259 --> 00:18:53.579
Okay.

00:18:53.819 --> 00:18:54.940
It's a buildup, man.

00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:55.980
It is, man.

00:18:56.059 --> 00:19:02.059
It it just that lasts 30 minutes, and you're probably gonna get a cryo blast in the face with it.

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:02.220
Okay.

00:19:02.380 --> 00:19:02.940
You know what I mean?

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:04.299
It just That's your number three.

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:05.019
It just goes.

00:19:05.259 --> 00:19:07.500
My number three is any Nicki Minaj.

00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:07.980
Yes.

00:19:08.140 --> 00:19:10.619
But I'm gonna say Superbass has been my biggest one.

00:19:10.859 --> 00:19:11.099
Yes.

00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:11.420
Yes.

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:11.740
Yes.

00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:13.259
Bottoms up, though, is up there.

00:19:13.579 --> 00:19:14.619
Starships is up there.

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:15.259
All hitters.

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:16.299
Bottoms up, hitters.

00:19:16.539 --> 00:19:16.779
Yep.

00:19:16.940 --> 00:19:17.339
Hitters.

00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:17.819
That would go.

00:19:18.299 --> 00:19:19.339
I think we need to bring that back out.

00:19:19.420 --> 00:19:19.900
Bottoms up.

00:19:20.059 --> 00:19:20.779
Oh, you're not playing that?

00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:21.660
No, we need to bring that back.

00:19:21.819 --> 00:19:22.539
You need to bring it back.

00:19:22.619 --> 00:19:26.140
You need to play the Even Steve edit with Nicki Minaj verse only.

00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:26.460
Yeah.

00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:27.339
I got that.

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:28.059
So play that.

00:19:28.619 --> 00:19:29.339
That'll crush for you.

00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:29.660
Yep.

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:30.380
Smasher.

00:19:30.779 --> 00:19:31.900
Number four for me.

00:19:32.059 --> 00:19:34.539
I mean, I think you've said this one too, probably on your list.

00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:35.500
Pink Pony Club.

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:39.019
I was going to put that on my list a thousand percent, even though it came out next time.

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:39.980
What version are you playing?

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:40.940
Is there a version in it?

00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:43.819
It's a fuse chorus first edit.

00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:45.019
The disc, it's the fuse first.

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:45.740
Shout out fuse.

00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:46.539
Shout out fuse.

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:48.059
It's the only one I don't.

00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:48.619
That's it.

00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:50.140
Yeah, fuse disco, chorus first.

00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:50.859
Chorus first.

00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:52.700
No, if it starts with that.

00:19:58.779 --> 00:20:00.220
I'm not in a fucking jazz club.

00:20:00.380 --> 00:20:02.380
I'm trying to, I'm playing bangers right now.

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:04.619
I don't need a ballad in the middle of it.

00:20:04.779 --> 00:20:05.579
No, totally agree.

00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:06.539
Shout out fuse.

00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:07.339
Shout out fuse.

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:08.619
Uh, what's my number five?

00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:10.859
Um oh, no hands.

00:20:11.019 --> 00:20:11.579
Yeah, absolutely.

00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:14.299
Biggest, probably one of the biggest songs at every show I play.

00:20:14.460 --> 00:20:17.099
You're playing the the the I play a bunch of different versions.

00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:17.500
It just depends.

00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:19.740
But If you ever play like a 130 BPM version?

00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:20.140
Oh, yeah.

00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:20.539
Mike D.

00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:21.099
Interesting.

00:20:21.180 --> 00:20:21.579
Mike D.

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:22.619
Yeah, I've got that.

00:20:22.859 --> 00:20:23.099
Yeah.

00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:25.180
I don't usually play their OG version.

00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:25.660
No?

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:29.740
I mean Mike D's version to me is almost But it's double time.

00:20:29.900 --> 00:20:31.900
It's double time, but you really don't feel it.

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:33.500
Like it because it's double time.

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:35.259
It feels like it's not No, it's in Yeah.

00:20:35.339 --> 00:20:36.539
It's not the beat.

00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:37.420
Right.

00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:39.259
He hasn't quantized the vocals or messed up.

00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:40.859
It sounds so great.

00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:45.259
And I like to play that when I'm faster up in the BPMs and get me back to hip hop.

00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:49.099
I think I use it the opposite way and just play the original when I'm trying to go back down.

00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:49.579
Yeah.

00:20:50.059 --> 00:20:51.819
When I'm when I'm going for a break.

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:52.539
Number six.

00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:54.539
Not a break, but into the ratchetity.

00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:55.019
Okay.

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:58.380
Number six for me is the song Complicated.

00:20:58.539 --> 00:21:00.619
Avril Levine smashes for me.

00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:01.420
With lip gloss.

00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:02.380
With the lip gloss.

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:03.180
Yeah, I knew it.

00:21:03.259 --> 00:21:04.220
Yeah, I got that from you.

00:21:04.380 --> 00:21:06.140
But that it goes crazy.

00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:09.579
And everybody's doing that dance.

00:21:09.980 --> 00:21:11.980
And that's another one that was a Deville starter.

00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:14.539
But then what happened was he never had lip gloss.

00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:18.140
And people were going mental that I was not playing a little bit of lip gloss.

00:21:18.220 --> 00:21:18.299
Right.

00:21:18.460 --> 00:21:19.339
So I had to add that in.

00:21:19.579 --> 00:21:19.819
Right.

00:21:19.980 --> 00:21:20.940
But it's such a surprise.

00:21:21.660 --> 00:21:24.619
That it comes in, and people at first are like, Why is he playing Avril?

00:21:24.779 --> 00:21:28.619
And then when the verse drops, it's like they are singing at the top of the What you know about me.

00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:29.819
What you what you know about me?

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:30.940
Great track.

00:21:31.019 --> 00:21:31.900
That that would be online.

00:21:32.140 --> 00:21:33.099
I think that was me.

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:35.019
Uh, this is a throwback.

00:21:35.099 --> 00:21:39.500
Any ABBA, but I'm gonna say Dancing Queen is by far the bigger one of than Gimme Gimme.

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:41.019
What kind of edit are you playing?

00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:41.980
I've got a couple.

00:21:42.059 --> 00:21:43.259
Um, I've got a short one.

00:21:43.339 --> 00:21:45.980
I always feel like I slam it in with that piano.

00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:47.099
Yeah.

00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:48.140
I'll play the original.

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:49.740
Because we play it so early.

00:21:50.380 --> 00:21:50.539
Yeah.

00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:50.859
What's that?

00:21:51.259 --> 00:21:51.900
Gimme gimme hits.

00:21:52.140 --> 00:21:52.700
Oh, gimme, gimme.

00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:53.500
Yeah, it hits hard.

00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:53.740
Yeah.

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:55.579
I don't do you play the whole song too.

00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:57.740
Uh I feel like that verse is so weird.

00:21:57.900 --> 00:21:58.539
No, no, no.

00:21:58.700 --> 00:22:00.619
Of um of Gimme Gimme.

00:22:00.859 --> 00:22:01.259
It is weird.

00:22:01.500 --> 00:22:01.900
The verse.

00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:04.380
Dun dun dun dun dun dun.

00:22:04.539 --> 00:22:04.940
It's a weird.

00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:07.180
The energy just drops.

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:07.420
Yeah.

00:22:07.579 --> 00:22:09.579
So I just play the hook and I'm out.

00:22:09.660 --> 00:22:10.940
Uh two hooks in a row.

00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:12.059
Oh, double hook it.

00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:12.700
Double hook it.

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:13.259
It's made.

00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:13.579
Made.

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:14.460
Send me that.

00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:15.180
Yeah.

00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:16.779
We're on number eight.

00:22:16.859 --> 00:22:17.579
Uh, another one for me.

00:22:17.900 --> 00:22:23.660
The whole podcast is basically just me learning about what I should be playing and then asking Brian to send it to me later.

00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:25.980
Uh, still crushing for me, love story.

00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:28.140
Taylor Swift and the disco lines version.

00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:29.579
The disco lines version.

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:32.940
I'm um I'm with the Dua Lipa Don't think Scooter.

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:33.180
Yeah.

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:33.420
Yeah.

00:22:33.579 --> 00:22:34.539
That's a good one too.

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:37.579
And also the whole podcast is me just hyping scooter.

00:22:37.660 --> 00:22:38.380
Uh it's a good one.

00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:39.019
I love that one.

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:39.420
Okay.

00:22:39.660 --> 00:22:40.619
Uh let's see.

00:22:40.779 --> 00:22:43.339
Um, that dynamite, don't stop believing.

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:44.539
One of the biggest realities.

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:46.220
Number nine for me.

00:22:46.380 --> 00:22:48.700
I mean, it doesn't matter where it is, it doesn't matter in that same.

00:22:48.859 --> 00:22:49.339
Add that.

00:22:49.420 --> 00:22:50.380
I was gonna say that.

00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:50.700
Yeah.

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:52.220
Shout out even crushed.

00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:53.099
Shout out even Steve.

00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:54.460
And I would even say dynamite.

00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:56.140
I'm surprised how well that's doing in general.

00:22:56.380 --> 00:22:58.460
It's just it's just generational.

00:22:58.539 --> 00:23:00.940
I mean, it's it fell off my list a long time ago.

00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:01.740
Now it's back.

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:07.099
I think it definitely fell off my list, but I this brought it back in the greatest way.

00:23:07.259 --> 00:23:07.819
Yeah.

00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:09.500
Because it's a call and response.

00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:13.980
I mean, it do something, put your hands in the air without me sitting there going, put your hands in the air.

00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:17.339
It came across like there was a point where it was played out and it was kind of cheesy.

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:19.740
It went, it went into uptown funk territory.

00:23:19.980 --> 00:23:20.220
Yeah.

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:21.180
But now it's back.

00:23:21.660 --> 00:23:27.500
And then my last one uh is kind of a random one, but your love, Outfield, dude, crushes for me.

00:23:27.819 --> 00:23:29.339
I had so many versions of that.

00:23:29.660 --> 00:23:30.140
Same.

00:23:30.380 --> 00:23:31.900
And but I like the OG.

00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:32.859
I do too.

00:23:33.019 --> 00:23:33.980
But I'm gonna tell you this.

00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:35.980
I got a that's one of those.

00:23:36.059 --> 00:23:37.339
I don't give a fuck if you want to hear it or not.

00:23:37.500 --> 00:23:38.220
Yeah, I'm playing it.

00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:38.539
Yeah.

00:23:38.779 --> 00:23:39.339
It's really rare.

00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:40.380
Sugar were going down?

00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:41.819
I don't give a fuck if you want to hear it or not.

00:23:41.900 --> 00:23:42.460
It's coming out.

00:23:42.619 --> 00:23:44.220
That'd probably be because I'm at 10 now.

00:23:44.299 --> 00:23:48.059
So would you would you say sugar you're going down or would you say or my own worst enemy?

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:48.299
Okay.

00:23:48.380 --> 00:23:48.700
Any of those?

00:23:48.859 --> 00:23:49.099
Yeah, yeah.

00:23:51.660 --> 00:23:51.980
Yeah.

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:52.460
Yeah.

00:23:52.779 --> 00:23:55.099
Uh uh, what's my what's my age again?

00:23:55.180 --> 00:23:56.539
Or how all the small things.

00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:56.940
Right.

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:58.380
Those all kind of go together.

00:23:58.539 --> 00:23:58.700
Okay.

00:23:58.859 --> 00:24:02.619
And they may just be in that like a little mini pocket set, Ryan B set.

00:24:02.779 --> 00:24:03.420
Got it.

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:05.740
Well, that's all I got on the music.

00:24:05.819 --> 00:24:08.700
I just was curious if uh anything you would have as honorable mention on the show.

00:24:08.859 --> 00:24:09.740
I'm just trying to think of anything.

00:24:09.819 --> 00:24:12.059
Yeah, else that like is an honorable mention.

00:24:12.140 --> 00:24:14.700
I mean, so we're playing pretty similarly.

00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:17.660
Yeah, but you you play a lot.

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:19.660
Um like the same reaction songs, though.

00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:21.180
I'm saying like you got the bangers.

00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:29.259
Yes, yes, but your your other stuff in the in the in the gaps is so much more well curated, I feel like.

00:24:29.339 --> 00:24:29.500
Yeah.

00:24:29.579 --> 00:24:34.779
And when I was going through some of that stuff that I got from you, I was like, man, he's he's digging in the crates.

00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:36.059
Yeah, this is good shit.

00:24:36.220 --> 00:24:36.779
You know what I mean?

00:24:37.019 --> 00:24:39.420
And some of it I was like, man, um, I would never play this.

00:24:39.579 --> 00:24:39.660
Right.

00:24:39.819 --> 00:24:43.420
But the ball is also you play a lot of different parties after parties.

00:24:43.660 --> 00:24:43.819
Right.

00:24:44.140 --> 00:24:47.259
Some of it, and and actually was kind of sitting on the couch, like working on something.

00:24:47.339 --> 00:24:49.740
And and like we would both perk up at the same time.

00:24:49.980 --> 00:24:59.740
And that's how I knew it was like a good barometer of like, oh, this is if this is like transcending or or or you know, translating for her as a banger, it this is a banger, right?

00:24:59.819 --> 00:25:00.299
You know what I mean?

00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:00.539
Right.

00:25:01.099 --> 00:25:02.859
Anyway, that's our music segment.

00:25:02.940 --> 00:25:06.619
Um I wanted to hit before we get into the question today.

00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:08.380
Uh, this is the last day of the year.

00:25:08.779 --> 00:25:14.940
Should we talk about DJC 2026 before the price probably goes up January 1, is what I'm guessing.

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:17.019
Great, great call, great call.

00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:21.660
Um, we're at almost we're over the 40% threshold for sure.

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:22.779
Think about that, man.

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:24.140
We were trying to get 50.

00:25:24.539 --> 00:25:25.740
Like, that was it.

00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:27.099
Uh, dude, I'm I'm serious.

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:32.380
Yeah, I I know I said this the other day, but like every once in a while just be like, damn, dude, like I'm proud of us.

00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:33.339
Like, we really did it.

00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:41.339
Like, we yeah, listen, to those of you that have been to a DJ collective of any sort before, we did some really over-the-top shit.

00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:44.859
Brian will have the memories pop up on Facebook or whatever and send me pictures sometimes.

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:50.779
And I'm like, dude, I barely remember that because it was so crazy how big it got.

00:25:51.019 --> 00:25:53.180
We actually haven't even talked about a recap.

00:25:53.420 --> 00:26:02.619
Maybe we should just spend like a minute or two on what was your favorite part of this year's DJC recharge or anything that stood out in general, just doesn't have to be your favorite part.

00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:06.460
Man, you know, I I feel like the party was probably my favorite part.

00:26:06.539 --> 00:26:08.619
I I went and got my fake Gucci tracksuit.

00:26:08.859 --> 00:26:10.460
Did you change like in the parking lot?

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:12.140
I walked in the parking lot.

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:14.700
The van was out there because I've been like, wait, what did you do?

00:26:14.779 --> 00:26:15.259
Yeah, no, no.

00:26:15.420 --> 00:26:34.059
I had only this at dinner, and then I was like, I started, I started had a couple drinks with dinner, and they started clearing the tables out of the restaurant, and I was like, and I'd put it in the in the van, and I was like, I'm feeling the Gucci, fake Gucci tracksuit right now, and a pair of Jordans, and I just went out there and just and that's when I was like, I'm going nuclear.

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:34.940
I kept saying that.

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:37.180
I'm like, and I did, I went straight to the moon.

00:26:37.339 --> 00:26:38.059
Great party.

00:26:38.299 --> 00:26:39.660
Pierce killed it.

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:41.420
Uh Icon killed it.

00:26:41.660 --> 00:26:45.900
Two perfect guys for that event, and played completely different types of sets.

00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:47.180
Uh let me ask you this.

00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:50.220
This has happened at I've seen this trend at a lot of shows.

00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:53.500
And I don't know if it's I I don't know how I feel about it.

00:26:53.660 --> 00:27:00.380
I like the idea of less DJs, longer sets because they can actually see them like get into the party.

00:27:00.460 --> 00:27:00.539
Right.

00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:04.779
But then the trend has been less time, more DJs.

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:13.420
I mean, I get the appeal of it because you know, you're seeing a different DJ, and you're but they all are playing like you can only flex for so much for 10 minutes.

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:16.140
It and it takes you away from the the vibe.

00:27:16.619 --> 00:27:17.500
Right, yeah, right.

00:27:17.819 --> 00:27:22.140
That's where I felt like Pierce won in the sense of opening that party.

00:27:22.299 --> 00:27:24.859
Like he could go in in any direction.

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:26.220
And props to him, man.

00:27:26.380 --> 00:27:31.980
Starting a party off for a room of DJs when there's nothing eating a bunch of Chinese food.

00:27:32.220 --> 00:27:32.619
Yeah.

00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:36.059
Like he kicked off pretty much curated that so well.

00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:39.740
And then by the end, I mean, he had people he set up Icon perfectly.

00:27:39.900 --> 00:27:40.380
He really did.

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:43.500
Like he knew what his job was, and that is not an easy task.

00:27:43.660 --> 00:27:44.859
No, all DJs.

00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:46.059
Shout out both of those guys.

00:27:46.140 --> 00:27:46.619
They killed it.

00:27:46.700 --> 00:27:52.380
And then I guess the other thing, and it had mixed reactions, is the vendor panel.

00:27:52.619 --> 00:28:02.380
So we had a photographer, a videographer, a wedding planner, uh, a venue owner, and myself, and and a content creator.

00:28:02.700 --> 00:28:09.259
And I kind of I kept it under control as best I could.

00:28:09.420 --> 00:28:13.019
But a few of them kind of said some things that would rub DJs the wrong way.

00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:14.140
Like out the gate.

00:28:14.380 --> 00:28:17.740
Out the gate, and it went sideways quickly.

00:28:18.059 --> 00:28:21.099
And Brian looked at me at the end and he goes, We're never doing that again.

00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:21.980
That was a shit show.

00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:25.980
But then two seconds later, I'm going to the bathroom and people are like, That was the best thing I've seen all week.

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:27.660
And I'm like, Wow, yeah, man.

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:29.339
Was it a shit show or was it?

00:28:29.660 --> 00:28:37.980
I think it was a great polarizing because nobody like really wants to hear what they have to say.

00:28:38.140 --> 00:28:38.299
Right.

00:28:38.539 --> 00:28:40.380
And then when they say it, it's like, whoa.

00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:50.940
Well, my my my only issue with it was like, I feel like maybe we should have prepped them a little bit better of like, hey, listen, we want to start positive before we go negative.

00:28:51.180 --> 00:28:52.220
I mean, I you did.

00:28:52.299 --> 00:28:58.619
But the first thing was like, I think the question was like, what's something of that um the the DJs do that you appreciate?

00:28:58.779 --> 00:29:01.819
Like something like could it be more of a softball question?

00:29:02.059 --> 00:29:02.299
Right.

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:07.500
And then one of the panelists, I won't say who, was like, you know, one of the things that really pisses me off about DJs?

00:29:07.579 --> 00:29:11.900
And he just went down this road, and you're just like, yo, like we just handed you a softball question.

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:13.259
And it went.

00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:14.299
And you went here.

00:29:14.619 --> 00:29:19.740
And um, and then, you know, then to Saquon's point, you you sometimes some of that stuff needed to be said.

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:21.099
I know, I agree.

00:29:21.259 --> 00:29:29.579
And and listen, the point of the vendor panel was that to let people ask questions to people that are not in their market.

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:29.900
Right.

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:31.980
So that you you don't rub somebody the wrong way.

00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:33.819
You don't know these vendors, they don't know you.

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:34.220
Right.

00:29:34.380 --> 00:29:35.259
So get it out.

00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:35.420
Right.

00:29:35.579 --> 00:29:36.220
You know what I mean?

00:29:36.380 --> 00:29:41.500
So I kind of expected it, but like a couple of people were like, man, I don't think we represented ourselves in the best way.

00:29:41.579 --> 00:29:45.019
And I'm like, as DJs, not us, like me and you.

00:29:45.180 --> 00:29:49.339
But I mean, anyway, I I loved it and at the same time.

00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:49.500
Right.

00:29:49.660 --> 00:29:50.299
It was a good mix up.

00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:50.700
Absolutely.

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:55.180
I think next year, speaking of next year, uh, I'm gonna do a couples panel.

00:29:55.980 --> 00:30:01.180
So, you know, we we did this from past couples or couples that have not booked yet, or maybe both didn't?

00:30:01.339 --> 00:30:01.740
Maybe both.

00:30:01.900 --> 00:30:02.460
That would be interesting.

00:30:02.619 --> 00:30:06.779
You know, a couple of past couples, a couple of people that we you know have coming up.

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:10.220
Um very diverse, you know, get a diverse crowd.

00:30:10.380 --> 00:30:10.619
Right.

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:13.819
You know, uh different races, right?

00:30:14.059 --> 00:30:14.619
Same sex.

00:30:14.940 --> 00:30:19.180
Like just get some real diversity up there and just and it's not something I see.

00:30:19.339 --> 00:30:20.619
I dude, I think it would be great.

00:30:20.700 --> 00:30:22.140
Me and Mike did it 10 years ago.

00:30:22.460 --> 00:30:24.859
I remember that DHCJ workshop, and it went over great.

00:30:25.019 --> 00:30:27.819
Because again, you can ask these couples anything, they're not your couples.

00:30:27.900 --> 00:30:30.380
Yeah, you know, ask them what they like, ask them what they don't like.

00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:32.299
Yeah, you know, don't take my word for it.

00:30:32.460 --> 00:30:32.859
Totally.

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:33.579
Anyway.

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:39.980
Um my favorite things, um, you know, uh, one of them was the I love the connection sessions.

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:41.980
I thought those were great because it really mixed it up.

00:30:42.220 --> 00:30:45.259
You masterminded that based off something that you had attended in Mexico.

00:30:45.660 --> 00:30:48.859
And when we got the surveys back, I've never seen a hundred percent.

00:30:51.099 --> 00:30:52.220
Shocked that people love that.

00:30:52.460 --> 00:31:00.299
Um, and then Drew and Fuse left a review or they didn't leave a review, they did a recap on their their podcast, which we'll know I haven't listened to, but yeah.

00:31:00.460 --> 00:31:02.700
But they were just saying that um they wish those were longer.

00:31:02.859 --> 00:31:03.500
Oh wow.

00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:10.380
And I was like, you know, almost all of them were about an hour long, so you're talking about six hours of time dedicated to these things.

00:31:10.940 --> 00:31:13.259
And I'm like, I don't know how how we could do it.

00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:16.380
Just briefly kind of tell people what that weren't there, what it was.

00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:17.980
So the idea was, you know.

00:31:18.220 --> 00:31:31.819
Yeah, the idea was to have the hallway conversations be a little bit more um controlled or yeah, and also the idea too is that uh in a hallway conversation, you might catch one or two people coming out.

00:31:32.059 --> 00:31:36.940
Can you meet more people at a hundred person conference in a more controlled environment?

00:31:37.099 --> 00:31:44.859
And dig so what we did is we took all hold on, and to get off of the talking heads just standing up there blah blah blahing all day.

00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:48.460
Sometimes uh my best takeaways have been people that are sitting right next to me.

00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:48.940
100%.

00:31:49.259 --> 00:31:51.420
And so it's not somebody standing at the front.

00:31:51.579 --> 00:32:01.740
But what we did was we took all of these names and we put them in a sort of like an AI tool that was like a wheel of names, so that the groups that you were in changed every time.

00:32:01.900 --> 00:32:08.779
You might get a few repeats, but for the I for ideally you would have a different set of group of they were groups of 10.

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:13.740
So you'd have a group of, you know, maybe eight of the ten were different than you had in any other session.

00:32:13.900 --> 00:32:18.619
So hopefully the goal was that you'd meet as many people as you could and you have an hour to have a discussion.

00:32:18.779 --> 00:32:21.500
We would prompt them with a different question for each session.

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:28.859
So round one, let's call it, was you know, uh something like, well, I think one of the questions was like, What's your business superpower?

00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:31.099
You never know what people are gonna say.

00:32:31.420 --> 00:32:33.019
Uh another one was music driven.

00:32:33.099 --> 00:32:35.500
Yeah, you know, those always go crazy on those.

00:32:35.579 --> 00:32:38.299
Those are the ones that probably are never long enough because you could go into that forever.

00:32:38.619 --> 00:32:48.059
People had their laptops out and you could hear, like, I would walk around and kind of just shadowed, and you would hear like somebody drop something, and like the whole group of eight or ten DJs would be like, Oh shit.

00:32:48.220 --> 00:32:48.619
Yeah.

00:32:48.859 --> 00:32:54.140
And I feel like that space worked for that because it was a house that had like a bunch of different rooms.

00:32:54.299 --> 00:32:54.859
That's right.

00:32:55.019 --> 00:32:59.019
You could you were getting out of the main room, if you want to call it that.

00:32:59.099 --> 00:33:00.619
Yeah, stretch your legs, you know.

00:33:00.859 --> 00:33:03.500
And it was gorgeous here, and you know, it was it was cool.

00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:07.740
So that was one of my favorite, and then the second favorite, which I need to go get because I completely lost it.

00:33:07.900 --> 00:33:08.220
Oh no.

00:33:08.299 --> 00:33:09.019
Let me go grab it.

00:33:09.180 --> 00:33:12.940
My second favorite thing of the whole thing, and we have these still for sale.

00:33:14.140 --> 00:33:21.099
The uh unused crust about those unused urinal cakes.

00:33:21.180 --> 00:33:23.420
So these got talked about a lot.

00:33:24.140 --> 00:33:27.420
So is that you that actually might be used?

00:33:27.500 --> 00:33:28.299
I might have just watched that.

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:30.619
Oh, you must just get involved.

00:33:31.900 --> 00:33:34.140
It says target locked J and I.

00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:36.539
So we put these in the bathrooms, you know.

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:39.819
These venues, we always try to find some way to touch them up somehow.

00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:44.460
And we definitely uh, but the fact that there actually is a company that makes these brands.

00:33:44.619 --> 00:33:45.019
What were they called?

00:33:45.099 --> 00:33:50.220
Pee-pee head, pee pee, pee pee face, pee pee face, and Brian said his wife is going through the credit card bill.

00:33:50.619 --> 00:33:51.339
Yeah, she's like, What is this?

00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:52.140
What is peep?

00:33:53.099 --> 00:33:55.980
Like you got on some side or something.

00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:57.740
That's crazy.

00:33:58.059 --> 00:34:00.460
We had stuff like this for the women's uh bathroom.

00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:05.500
Yeah, so we blew up some of these kinds of nose because they were dropping bombs in there.

00:34:05.819 --> 00:34:10.780
Just the idea of like we're thinking of everything, you know, or something you were thinking of everything.

00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:12.139
Just like random stuff.

00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:14.940
So, like wherever we can do those little touches, wherever.

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:18.460
We've done them in other things before, but like trying to think of the spaces.

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:20.940
So, my idea, I guess we can give us away a little bit.

00:34:21.019 --> 00:34:25.099
I haven't actually talked to you about this, but um because of the connection sessions, uh-huh.

00:34:25.579 --> 00:34:30.460
I think we because it's one big space, there's not like a lot of separate rooms, and I was like, gosh, how are we gonna do this?

00:34:30.619 --> 00:34:30.940
I know.

00:34:31.099 --> 00:34:33.019
I think we go silent disco headphones.

00:34:33.500 --> 00:34:34.699
Holy shit, dude.

00:34:34.860 --> 00:34:36.300
Like we did at the podcasting thing.

00:34:36.539 --> 00:34:38.219
That's exactly what we did at the podcast thing.

00:34:38.300 --> 00:34:38.699
We're doing that.

00:34:38.860 --> 00:34:39.500
I think we should.

00:34:39.659 --> 00:34:43.099
We're doing that, and that way we we it doesn't matter where it's at in that room.

00:34:43.420 --> 00:34:46.539
The oh, just the main, the moderator probably needs to be the mic.

00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:47.179
Yeah.

00:34:47.420 --> 00:34:49.579
But then you'd have to pass the mic if somebody's talking.

00:34:49.739 --> 00:34:51.500
Yeah, well, it's it's like he's gonna prompt it.

00:34:51.579 --> 00:34:54.699
And it's actually a little bit more controlled that way because everyone's got to have the mic.

00:34:54.860 --> 00:34:55.099
Right?

00:34:55.260 --> 00:34:57.500
Dude, and everybody's comfortable with the mic in the DJ comp.

00:34:57.739 --> 00:34:58.780
Yeah, god dang, you're a genius.

00:34:58.940 --> 00:34:59.420
Is that a good idea?

00:34:59.579 --> 00:35:00.139
We're doing it.

00:35:00.380 --> 00:35:03.179
Simon Rimmer, we're we're gonna be calling you, bro.

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:04.860

That's who did the podcast convention.

00:35:08.699 --> 00:35:10.300

00:35:52.380 --> 00:35:54.380
Question of the day.

00:35:59.579 --> 00:36:00.059
You read it.

00:36:00.219 --> 00:36:01.820
Uh Eric Rasmussen.

00:36:02.300 --> 00:36:02.860
Via Instagram.

00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:05.820
By the way, you can send us questions through Instagram, any of our channels.

00:36:07.179 --> 00:36:08.539
Or you can send it to us directly if you want.

00:36:08.619 --> 00:36:10.059
But yeah, we'll take it beyond the DJ.

00:36:10.139 --> 00:36:15.900
During the final consult with my couples before their wedding, the bride says, My mom's name is Sue.

00:36:16.139 --> 00:36:18.300
She's gonna ask you to to do things.

00:36:18.539 --> 00:36:19.900
Do things and change things.

00:36:20.300 --> 00:36:22.059
Don't do anything she says.

00:36:22.460 --> 00:36:22.940
Jesus.

00:36:23.260 --> 00:36:27.980
Obviously, I'm grateful for the heads up, but now I have these marching orders from the bride.

00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:29.739
How would you guys handle this?

00:36:31.739 --> 00:36:32.860
This is tough, man.

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:34.699
I've definitely been put in this situation.

00:36:34.860 --> 00:36:35.179
Have you?

00:36:35.980 --> 00:36:36.619
Uh once.

00:36:37.019 --> 00:36:37.820
We had a situation.

00:36:38.300 --> 00:36:38.940
That's what I thought.

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:42.139
She was trying to do everybody was doing speeches.

00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:42.539
Yep.

00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:44.539
And she came over to us wasted.

00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:45.179
Yep.

00:36:45.900 --> 00:36:48.699
And she and then the sister of the bride came over to the body.

00:36:48.860 --> 00:36:49.579
Pulled her away from us.

00:36:49.739 --> 00:36:49.980
Yeah, yeah.

00:36:50.539 --> 00:36:53.739
Mother of the bride tried to uh put herself into the toast rotation.

00:36:54.139 --> 00:36:54.380
Yeah.

00:36:54.460 --> 00:36:55.019
That's stuff.

00:36:55.340 --> 00:37:00.539
And she was ape shit, and you know, uh she was pissed off that her husband had remarried a younger brother.

00:37:00.699 --> 00:37:00.860
Right.

00:37:01.260 --> 00:37:02.780
Like I was she was gonna fight us.

00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:04.539
Oh, she was she was pissed.

00:37:04.619 --> 00:37:06.219
This was uh less than a year ago.

00:37:06.940 --> 00:37:11.820
Anyway, um wow man, this is so can you answer first?

00:37:12.059 --> 00:37:17.980
I mean, I had that once where the the they they told me that the mother and the the daughter don't get along.

00:37:18.059 --> 00:37:26.460
Yeah, this is the bride telling me this, yeah, and so she's like there's some tension there, and uh, we're gonna try to mitigate it as best we can, but just know that whatever she says, don't do it.

00:37:26.780 --> 00:37:27.099
Wow.

00:37:27.340 --> 00:37:38.699
And so um, sure enough, dude, she came up like during dinner of the bride, the mother of the bride, wanting to hear some random tracks that weren't part of her and she literally stood by me.

00:37:38.940 --> 00:37:46.940
Oh no, dude, watching over my shoulder, and I'm like, hey, uh, you know, I can't remember the bride's name, but yeah, she curated this.

00:37:47.099 --> 00:37:50.139
The mom's name is Sue, so this would be right uh Jane.

00:37:50.860 --> 00:37:55.579
Jane, Jane's curated this, she's uh got this all in her must-play.

00:37:55.980 --> 00:37:59.179
I really can't deviate, even if it's a parent or a family member.

00:37:59.260 --> 00:38:01.579
So she's like, Well, I'm paying for this, was kind of her response.

00:38:01.820 --> 00:38:03.980
Yeah, that's I was about to say I knew she was gonna pull that out.

00:38:04.300 --> 00:38:07.179
And I was like, I would talk to her, is what I told her.

00:38:07.260 --> 00:38:10.860
I said, talk to her and have her come up here, and then we can redo the order.

00:38:10.940 --> 00:38:14.619
But like this stuff is stuff that we've already locked and loaded for this this dinner hour.

00:38:15.340 --> 00:38:17.099
And then during toast, she wanted to say something.

00:38:17.179 --> 00:38:25.099
So she's standing by the DJ booth waiting to grab the mic, and I just kept moving it quicker than I normally would just to like get her off of here.

00:38:25.340 --> 00:38:31.340
And then finally, I think her she was remarried, so her stepfather, I guess, just like kind of took care of her for a little while.

00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:32.460
But she was already longer.

00:38:32.699 --> 00:38:36.139
Oh, yeah, she did she uh she was she was a couple of the sheets of the wind.

00:38:36.219 --> 00:38:36.860
Yeah.

00:38:37.420 --> 00:38:45.820
I mean, I'm glad to know about it ahead of time, but I always walk into those with intrepidation because I'm just like or trepidation, because I'm just like, I uh you never know what's gonna happen.

00:38:45.900 --> 00:38:47.739
It's a wild card, it's a joker, right?

00:38:47.900 --> 00:38:51.179
I I did I did not get a heads up at the one that Saquon was talking about.

00:38:51.340 --> 00:38:57.019
If I got a heads up, I would be very um conscious of what could possibly happen.

00:38:57.260 --> 00:39:02.460
I would have, Eric, uh a bunch of canned responses kind of in my brain.

00:39:02.619 --> 00:39:05.500
Like Brian said, hey, she's carefully curated this.

00:39:05.579 --> 00:39:07.099
I've already programmed all this stuff in.

00:39:07.179 --> 00:39:08.460
I can't really change it.

00:39:08.619 --> 00:39:10.940
Hey, look, we're on a strict timeline.

00:39:11.099 --> 00:39:13.900
Um, we've got three toasts, and that's all we've got time for.

00:39:13.980 --> 00:39:15.739
Everybody's waiting to get to dancing.

00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:19.500
I can feel like the energy shifting, and I think everybody just wants to party.

00:39:19.659 --> 00:39:23.179
Like you, you, you just gotta be a diplomat in that case, man.

00:39:23.260 --> 00:39:27.099
And you got to ride the rails of of what's right and what's wrong.

00:39:27.260 --> 00:39:30.780
They're gonna pull the I paid for it card, which is probably not even true.

00:39:31.019 --> 00:39:31.340
Right, yeah.

00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:31.980
You know what I mean?

00:39:32.059 --> 00:39:36.139
Like I just it is the bride's day at the end of the day, man.

00:39:36.219 --> 00:39:42.860
And that's what people, no matter if it's a parent, a guest, an aunt, an uncle, they have to understand that.

00:39:43.019 --> 00:39:43.099
Right.

00:39:43.900 --> 00:39:48.300
You are a fucking bystander to an amazing moment.

00:39:48.699 --> 00:39:48.940
Right.

00:39:49.099 --> 00:39:53.900
And you should be you should thank the lucky stars that you are even here invited.

00:39:54.139 --> 00:39:54.219
Right.

00:39:54.380 --> 00:39:54.940
You know what I mean?

00:39:55.019 --> 00:39:59.659
You are on a list of only 150 people in the whole world that they felt should be here.

00:39:59.820 --> 00:39:59.900
Okay.

00:40:00.539 --> 00:40:05.739
I feel like regardless just focus on making the bride happen.

00:40:05.900 --> 00:40:06.380
Yeah, that's it.

00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:07.099
That's all you gotta do.

00:40:07.260 --> 00:40:08.780
That is the that is the end goal.

00:40:08.860 --> 00:40:12.139
That's and that was when I coming back to that vendor panel.

00:40:12.300 --> 00:40:15.500
That's what I kind of uh tried to bring it all home at the end.

00:40:15.579 --> 00:40:24.860
I was like, look, at the end of the day, man, everybody sitting up here is is trying to pull off one simple mission to make this the greatest day ever for these two people.

00:40:24.940 --> 00:40:25.179
Right.

00:40:25.340 --> 00:40:25.739
Period.

00:40:25.900 --> 00:40:27.579
Yeah, all work together.

00:40:27.659 --> 00:40:27.900
Yeah.

00:40:28.059 --> 00:40:30.780
You had a tough job up there because these are your friends, these are your friends.

00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:31.980
Bro, it was tough.

00:40:32.139 --> 00:40:34.380
And then you James who look up to you too.

00:40:34.460 --> 00:40:36.780
So you were like, hey, stick up for your your your your.

00:40:37.260 --> 00:40:38.940
And I kind of was trying to ride that line.

00:40:39.099 --> 00:40:39.579
It was tough.

00:40:39.900 --> 00:40:40.380
It's like this.

00:40:40.460 --> 00:40:40.780
Yeah.

00:40:40.940 --> 00:40:42.059
I didn't know you were doing that.

00:40:42.539 --> 00:40:44.780
Like they started showing up, and I was like, Yeah.

00:40:44.940 --> 00:40:46.139
I was like, what's going on here?

00:40:46.380 --> 00:40:47.739
It was uh it was tough.

00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:48.219
I don't know.

00:40:48.699 --> 00:40:50.699
We might take a year or two off on that one.

00:40:50.860 --> 00:40:55.340
Eric, the best thing I could just recommend is just like treat it with kid gloves, man.

00:40:55.420 --> 00:40:58.219
Like you know, you gotta figure out a way.

00:40:58.380 --> 00:41:01.579
Don't be polarizing like that person is probably gonna be.

00:41:01.900 --> 00:41:04.699
So uh the best of luck, buddy.

00:41:04.780 --> 00:41:05.739
Yeah, that's what I can say.

00:41:06.219 --> 00:41:07.099
But I don't have it.

00:41:07.260 --> 00:41:08.699
