What's up, everybody? Welcome back to Beyond the DJ Boo Season 7, Episode 5, Joe Bun here with my guy, Brian B. And uh we're just uh cranking out batch edits today for your listening. Oral pleasure. Oral? Aural.

SPEAKER_04 0:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 0:35

I don't know if I my accent. Boy, that was close. A-U The transcriber out there. Jeez. A-U-R-A-L. Aural. Is that the right use? Is it not? A-U-R-A-L. Aurel? Not anal. Not oral. Yeah, that was Aur.

SPEAKER_01 0:52

unknown 0:56

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 0:57

Right. Not oral.

SPEAKER_02 1:00

Oral. North Carolina. I'm not saying it right. I'm spelling it right. Let's keep it moving. Oral pleasure.

SPEAKER_01 1:08

Oh, man. Well, let's uh thank our Patreon folks. Yeah. We're just gonna shout out one because, again, we got to spetch these out, you know. So we got Jeremy Parker from Goldwater, Michigan. No cold water. Have you been there?

SPEAKER_03 1:21

Coldwater, Michigan?

SPEAKER_02 1:22

It just sounds cold. You know I don't like the cold. I hate the cold. I'm not going there, Jeremy. How do you even live in a place called that? You know that place is cold. Yeah. I don't even think they have summer there.

Cold Open And Patreon Thanks

SPEAKER_01 1:33

Probably not. That would be, yeah, that'd be weird. Um, but we also should mention if you didn't listen to the last episode, we're making some changes. You want to talk this one through?

Patreon Tier Changes And Giveaway

SPEAKER_02 1:41

Yeah, I mean, basically, we are going to eliminate the lower tier booth crew Patreon, the$599 version. Listen, if you're a member there, we're not going to punch you out or anything like that. You can stay your grandfathered in, but it's just too much for us to keep up with. We are only doing the backroom membership now. It's only$19.99 a month. I promise you, if you make the jump up there, it is so much more worth it. More bonus content, more winky wink special things. And what we're going to do starting April 26th for a week straight, we're going to do seven days. I'm not doing we're not doing five days. We're going to do seven days straight of everybody in the back room. I don't care if you've been a member for one day or you know, six months or whatever, two years since we started this thing. We are giving away prizes worth$100 to$300 a day. Okay. So it's usually stuff that I've reviewed for YouTube that I'm not personally using, but all good stuff, electronics, treats, gifts. So when this comes out, April 22nd, you got about four days. You got about four more days to get in. You got about four more days to get in, folks. So Patreon.com slash Beyond the DJ Booth Podcast. I promise this will be the best$20 you spend per month. And you spelled effective wrong. Effective. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:58

That was a Filipino change, I think. Uh is what we call those. You want to go to the next one? Uh yeah. You want to talk about it? Sure. So we talked a little bit about it in the last episode, but the DJ Collective trade shows. Um we uh run this every November. You know what's funny? I was just thinking as you were making that rant last episode. You know, we don't go back and listen to that if you haven't. We had we probably are the worst at promoting that stuff. You know, the trade show, like we don't from the standpoint of like we're not running ads, we don't uh, you know, spam you to death. If you're in and you know about it, great, you're gonna be there. Yeah. And um, I just say that to folks because a lot of people probably never even heard of it, you know. And we're not in the comments of every thread when they're mentioning shows trying to promote ourselves or whatever.

SPEAKER_04 3:52

Right.

Why DJ Collective Tickets Sell Fast

SPEAKER_01 3:52

But I will tell you this anyone who's ever gone to a DJ collective, in fact, I saw it when you made a or I don't know who made the post, but somebody made the post on our DJ collective uh Instagram about how many DJCs you've been to. Yeah. And somebody said, you know, it was their first one and they'll never miss another one. It's kind of that experience for folks when they go to this because we do try to like flip it. Yes, we're gonna have some probably some of the same speakers that you've seen, but we do we don't want to be bored ourselves. So we're always trying to flip it to make the experience like a one-off to an extent. Yeah. And I mean, people who went last year, uh the proof is in the pudding, right? Because we sold tickets at the end of the show, half of it filled up already, and that's a good sign of great sign. Hey, and and this isn't a cheap that you did a good job, that we did a good job, and comparable to other shows that are out there, we're definitely not the cheapest, we're the most expensive. I have no problem saying that, but we try to deliver on that. That pushes us to be best, to be not the best, but like in our own head, yeah, as far as putting out the best product we could possibly can put out.

SPEAKER_02 4:52

You and I were literally the day after going, hey man, how are we gonna do this better next year? Right. The day after. And we have not I would I would say that ever since last November, there hasn't been a week that's gone by where you and I have not had some sort of 10 to 30 minute conversation about the DJ collective. Hey, let's bring on this guy, let's bring on this girl, let's let's change this person out this year, let's do this, let's move this, you know, move this venue here, let's change the way the layout was, the staging, the lighting, the PA. Like, let's, you know, let's do a better party location. Like, what do you want to do this year? And yeah, uh, it it is a year-long process to get back to the next November. Totally.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

And I think the other thing that we're really holding close to the chest more than usual than other shows, I would say, is that we don't always release everything like right out of the gate. Like we're not, you know, a lot of people make their decision based on who's speaking and you know, what is the content gonna be? Trust me, the there's a reason why this ticket price is where it's at, because we want to deliver the best we can possibly deliver on. And that's part of the the cool factor, in my opinion, is that like you know the content's gonna be good. Like that's just you don't have to even think about that part of it. Like, that's something that we pride ourselves on, is making sure that we're bringing you the best we can possibly bring you. And last year was no exception. This year we're flipping the script a bit, bringing in some more speakers than we have at a previous recharges, and that'll be fun. That stuff should be dropping in the next like week or two, I would think.

SPEAKER_02 6:19

So it's the DJ CollectiveOfficial.com. I'm assuming the price is gonna go up again in Mailpipe.

SPEAKER_01 6:26

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 6:26

Um I mean, normally what we do is tear it up as you get closer to the event because we're trying to sell the tickets now. We're trying to save you money now so that we have that proper headcount. We know that we got a hundred people coming. So again, it's half sold out. It's the DJ CollectiveOfficial.com. Go get your tickets now before the price jumps up again. There we go. Keep it moving. Oh, oh let's move to story time. This is crazy.

SPEAKER_01 7:01

So, bro, I've been on TikTok. What have you been posting? I don't what I'm not doing. Only music. So, like anytime I say, hey, these are top ten songs for the month. But that's only once a month. Yeah, once a month. I'm not doing much. I'm not doing much. But I've been I that is like No dances? No dances, bro. No, no, no. But like for me. No TI video. I found myself like with TikTok, that was my release of like enjoyment just to watch, to be a consumer of content. You do actually sit there on the video. I do sit there. Yeah. Interesting. Not on Instagram. I don't do it there. I don't do it on Facebook. I don't. No. I just in fact, maybe I'm giving a little too much information. I have my VA kind of handle my Instagram and stuff. So she'll alert me to certain things I need to be aware of if there's a comment or something. But like for the most part, I don't touch those platforms. It's just been a time suck for so long that I I literally don't even have them on my phone. I took them off. So TikTok's the one thing I've had on there. And it's just been fun to like just get into things like I don't even try to look at DJ stuff. I look at comedians, yeah. I look at just like crazy other content that's helped my algorithm in that regard.

SPEAKER_02 8:06

Okay.

TikTok Ban With No Explanation

SPEAKER_01 8:06

So wake up or one night, go on there, and I uh open up my TikTok. You want to go to the next slide? I get this little notice. Your account was banned. Your account was banned due to an impersonation violation. So I'm like, what who am I uh impersonating? I've never made any other posts outside of music, you know, and there's plenty of people who do it. So of course I click the appeal button and you can write a little, you know, dissertation. You can add, is that dissertation the right use of the word? Shit. I'm gonna allow it. Go and keep going. You can include pictures. I don't know. I'm like, I don't know. Here's me. Yeah. I'm like, do I put my license on here? I probably shouldn't do that. I didn't do it. Um, and I heard nothing. Zero. Well, hold on now.

SPEAKER_02 8:51

We're recording this on March 25th.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

So this has been two weeks. Two weeks of nothing. Two weeks of nothing. I get this screen every time. So then I went on the TikTok website and went to the help area. There's no chat anything. You just gotta submit it as well. And I did Google it, and it was like basically you know, if you don't get good things through the app, try the website. That usually goes faster. Tried it, nothing. Except I got a feedback request on their tech support that said rank it, rank us. I'm like, we've done nothing. Like goose egg. Didn't even give me anything, just said it was a star rating. So here I am, banned on with my TikTok. I have no idea why. Like, I'm like, I had like maybe 10 posts up there. That's it.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

Do you how many followers did you have?

SPEAKER_01 9:34

You know, my last one did pop off. Did it relatively speaking? And not to a Joe Bunn level, not a million milli. But like, let's call it I don't know, 10,000 views decent. Yeah. For me, that was my best one I've ever had. On TikTok, I haven't done anything like that. So I don't know if that caused anything. I really don't know. So if you have any guidance, anybody knows anything about this, please let me know what I could be doing. Because I was a little nervous about to download your data. Like, do I need to download that?

SPEAKER_00 9:59

Like, uh this is what you should do, and see if somebody is using your name. It's a great idea. Well, like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 10:08

Somebody stealing your own. I do have a second uh account for my education stuff, so I can still get on there, but I don't really want to mess with that algorithm.

SPEAKER_02 10:15

So I'm gonna download your data, I think, would just be like getting all your videos and all that stuff, right?

SPEAKER_01 10:20

Okay. So, anyways, we'll see what happens. But if you run into this, let me know what you've done to get back because I am struggling. Damn, that's crazy, man. Anyway, let's talk about uh some music. Summer's coming. It is. Let's hit the crate finds.

SPEAKER_03 10:42

Craig, finds, crate, finds hitting gems in the rewind.

SPEAKER_02 10:50

All right, so summer's coming. And you really it's time uh who doesn't, man. I love summer. I love the boat, I love the beach, I love summer.

SPEAKER_01 11:00

You're gonna have a you have a grind of a spring, right? So this is gonna be a great release for you.

SPEAKER_04 11:04

Yeah.

unknown 11:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:05

I mean, I mean summer all the time.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

I feel like I mean you don't really ever stop. I mean, I don't I don't remember stopping. Right. Um summer's just everything, man. So what makes you think of summer musically? I love I mean this yacht rock stuff just hits for me. Okay. Um you play on the boat? Oh, yeah. I play yacht rock on the boat. Uh reggae is summer to me. Um, stuff like 311, yeah, sublime. That stuff is all summer to me. Speaking of, you got the new boat, you got the new sound system. Have you tested that? I did. Does it sound good? It sounds great.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 11:40

Last year, man, it was just, you know, I bought the boat brand new, and they did an okay job. Stop it, right? Stop it. You can't run six speakers off the head unit. You need amplifiers and you need a sub. Okay.

Summer Crate Finds And Yacht Rock

SPEAKER_00 11:51

And I can put a sub on the barn.

SPEAKER_01 11:58

Do they have like noise ordinances on the water? I mean, technically or no?

SPEAKER_02 12:03

No, I mean, you wouldn't do that at night. Nah.

SPEAKER_04 12:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 12:07

Unless you were like cruising, like slow riding by houses, you know, at night or something. I can see somebody being like, there's some idiot out there. I don't take the boat out at night. It's scary as shit to me. I would think so, yeah. I don't like it at all. Yeah. You're back by dawn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ride until dawn. Anyway, uh the Yacht Rock stuff just screams summer to me. And so you were like, Oh, it's time, you know, we need to make some sort of a new list or a new theme. And we started going down this rabbit hole. So let's talk about some of these.

SPEAKER_01 12:35

Yeah, so I thought we would play a couple originals that you like and then a couple of remixes or whatever. So I I the two that came to me right away, and I play these pretty often, it's sets uh Doors Open. Um, I love them because they're they're great tempo ranges, 116, 115 beats per minute. I feel like Peg by Steely Dan is an underrated track in general because they their catalog's so deep, first of all, Do It Again, um Reeling in the Years, like all those ones that had a little bit more uh popularity, but this one screams Yacht Rock to me.

SPEAKER_02 13:11

Speaking of, remember we talked about on the podcast at one point that documentary that we both ended up watching, still so good. If you haven't watched the Yacht Rock documentary, Hulu. But your boy from Steely Dan, what's his name? Well, he when they called him. Yeah, he was not a fan. He told him to fuck off and he hung up on it. Oh, totally. Totally. If you think Steely Dan is gonna be in the Yacht Rock documentary, they are not.

SPEAKER_01 13:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:34

Spoiler alert, spoiler alert.

SPEAKER_01 13:36

Yeah. This song is great. It's four minutes long in the original form, which is also good because if you need to go line up people, yeah, you need a little bit of time to do whatever. This is a good track to have in the library. So here's a little sample if you're not familiar with it.

SPEAKER_03 13:58

It's so good.

SPEAKER_01 13:58

It just rides.

unknown 14:00

Your name is.

SPEAKER_01 14:01

And you can go in so many different directions from here. You could go to Gotta Give It Up, Marvin Gaye. I mean, like a lot of different places you can go with this. Even more.

SPEAKER_02 14:11

De La Sole? Yeah. A bunch of people have.

SPEAKER_01 14:14

So what's what your first original?

SPEAKER_02 14:17

Well, I'm a I'm a big uh Christopher Cross fan, period. And I loved this song.

SPEAKER_01 14:23

He played in Pensacola. What? He played in Pensacola.

SPEAKER_02 14:26

Did you have seen? I did not like you mean recent years or like when we were there two weeks ago.

SPEAKER_01 14:31

Ticket was expensive. Stop.

SPEAKER_03 14:34

200 and some odd dollars. For Christopher Cross. For Christopher Cross. In the year of 2026, our Lord. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 14:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:44

But why the song? I mean, this is a main hip, man.

SPEAKER_02 14:46

Man, it so uh the the the origin of the me loving the song is as a little kid, uh Saquon, see what year this song came out. Would have been the same.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

1983, I would guess. Okay, or 81. No, no, no, no. 1979. I'm gonna go with 1979. Hold on.

SPEAKER_00 15:03

This is gonna 1979.

SPEAKER_02 15:07

Ah, bro. How old were you in 1970 years old? I was one. One. I was eight. I was still on the teeth. So I'm I'm at these, I'm at Camp Seagull. Or no, so so not the year it came out. Let's let's call it four years later. I'm 12, 13. I'm at Camp Seagull. In North Carolina? Oriental North Carolina.

SPEAKER_03 15:26

Oriental North Carolina.

SPEAKER_02 15:28

Sounds racist, but that's the name of the town.

SPEAKER_03 15:31

It's the name of the town, bro. What the fuck?

SPEAKER_02 15:34

I mean, and I'm at sailing, you know, boating camp at Seagull. And then the female version of the camp across the water is called Camp Seafarer. On Fridays, I think my parents dropped me there for like six weeks as a little kid. At the camp? Yeah, bro. Six weeks. Yeah, they had the whole summer off. No Joe Bunn.

unknown 15:55

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 15:56

Uh I'm there. You think they still do that?

SPEAKER_01 15:59

By the way? Is that camp still around?

SPEAKER_02 16:01

Oh is it still around? Sold out every year. Wow. Six weeks. I dropped Davis for one week. He did the trial camp. Bro, I picked him, you know, he's redhead. He's fair skinned. I pick him up. He's cooked. He looked like a goddamn, I look like a like one of those hot tamale candies when I picked him up. Rudolph. Yeah. So, but at on every Friday, the girls would come over and we'd have a dance. And then that would be the closing song from the DJ.

SPEAKER_01 16:27

Sailing.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

Yeah, and you're standing there with the girl, you know, like with her hands on her hips, like with a you know, that big distance between you trying not to never mind. But you know what I'm saying? And every time I hear it, I just think about those those dances. That has to be one of the best intros of all time. Dude, that year, do you remember like he swept the Grammys? I didn't know. And that's why he it was on that documentary. And he couldn't ever recreate it. Yeah. And then what happened was that the downfall of Christopher Cross was MTV because nobody knew what Christopher Cross looked like.

SPEAKER_01 17:04

Yeah. He's just a chubby white guy. He's just a like just kind of a goober. Yeah. What's he called? Goofy. He's goofy. If you heard that voice, you would never picture that.

SPEAKER_00 17:12

It could be anybody. I mean, it's like Phil Collins.

SPEAKER_01 17:15

Yeah. Bald white guy.

SPEAKER_02 17:17

He was bald from the from birth on. He never grew hair. He came out of the womb with no hair and never grew any.

SPEAKER_01 17:24

He was patches a hula hand. He had a little patch. Little patch.

SPEAKER_02 17:28

But I I did you include just the regular version or I got both. Okay, let's just hear just a little inch. The other one's coming. This is the originals.

SPEAKER_03 17:35

But it's not but down to pair. His voice is still like now. This shit is fire.

SPEAKER_01 17:41

It's like butter.

SPEAKER_04 17:45

Find tranquility.

SPEAKER_01 17:47

Listen to the band.

SPEAKER_04 17:48

Oh, the can.

SPEAKER_01 17:49

Perfectly mixed. Yeah. Did you ever hear the uh not the bastardizes song, but did you ever hear the Avant version of sailing? I looked at my library. I by mistake I was Zapul in these. Yeah. The Avant version came in. That is good too. Okay. Somebody else singing it? Avant. Oh, okay. A-B-A-N-T. Gotcha. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 18:06

Yeah. Let's hear the the redrum. Well, I got that coming in.

SPEAKER_01 18:10

So the first four are just like originals. Okay. So the other one that I feel like is the um a low down banger is uh low down. Boskags. Dude. Um again, five minutes. You gotta do something. It's too good. I have a two-minute version too. It's 116 beats per hour.

SPEAKER_02 18:27

I was telling you, man, I couldn't find it. I sampled this when I used to be a hip-hop producer.

SPEAKER_01 18:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 18:31

I managed that kid DB Assy. Yeah. And I took this, and this I didn't know how to play music. So all I knew how to do was sample. Yeah. You know, and that was whatever that was, right? The era of sampling in the 90s. Like, uh, I hate to mention puffy, but you know, that was like it was that. Like, take that record, and when you hear it, you'll hear. Like, I slowed it down, he rapped over it, and it was good, and I can't fucking find it. Hit it. That drum beat.

SPEAKER_01 18:58

Just that bass line, too. Oh my god. It's another chills.

SPEAKER_03 19:10

It just rides. It's so good, dude.

SPEAKER_00 19:13

It's a platform shoe. Right?

SPEAKER_02 19:17

Little flu is the rumor.

SPEAKER_01 19:22

Blue. And again, I don't hear a lot of DJs playing this track at weddings. They should. It's a good chip summer. This needs to be on that spot on my playlist if the Marvin win. You know what I mean? Better bring the chip around. I like the chorus when he goes. So good. Wow.

SPEAKER_02 19:54

Give us your uh final uh blue eyes. OG the goat of all goats. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he is the blackest white man there is. Yeah. I mean, you think one we claim Michael McDonald's.

SPEAKER_03 20:06

Oh, wow. Wait. Hold on a second.

SPEAKER_02 20:12

Michael McDonald. Wow. Michael McDonald, I mean, I keep forgetting, is just it is everything to me. Like, I just think this just sums it all up. And he did a good version of this, the Pete Down. It feels like it's more to the original. Exactly. I had about four to six versions, party pupils. Yeah. We're gonna talk about that. Okay, okay. Anyway, let's have a listen.

SPEAKER_01 20:36

So just the drums a little bit pulled up a bit. So weren't you playing this? If I mean if you're playing it at a gig, are you playing this at a gig at all?

SPEAKER_02 20:46

Um I would put this in that cool cocktails folder. I'll play this doors open, even though it's a little slow. You know, or just like you can go to regulate after that. Regulators.

SPEAKER_01 21:01

So good. God dang it, dude. Hit the slide. So let's go into the remixes. Okay. Yeah. So, dude, have you heard this version? No. This is the biggest part of it.

SPEAKER_02 21:12

I've been watching this series. Shout out Joe Zon. Shout out Mr. Wired Up. I don't even know if he listens to the show, but like, have you seen that? He's on that whole like day. He he says this to Aquan. He goes, Day, I don't even know what he's on. Like, day 18 of me remixing yacht rock songs until somebody invites me to play on their yacht. And he just keeps going. I think he got the invite.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

Stop. Yeah. Yeah, because he messaged me. I think it's in the works. Let's put it that way.

SPEAKER_02 21:36

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

So Ambrosia, biggest part of me.

SPEAKER_02 21:40

This is uh what even is ambrosia? Well, you looked that up, Saquon. What is Ambrosia? I I thought it was that green salad that your grandma you know that green jello salad? I never had it. That had walnuts in it.

SPEAKER_01 21:51

I think that was that was before my time. But this is uh a disco house version. Okay. This is uh hundred and twenty HP per minute. The OG is so 77.

SPEAKER_00 22:02

Is it this white paper shit? What is it? It's salad, right? Yeah, it's like a fruit salad. I told you!

SPEAKER_01 22:09

Marshmallows and my grandma used to make that shit.

SPEAKER_02 22:14

Anyway.

SPEAKER_01 22:15

Great version for cocktail out.

If you let me, if you what if you leave me now? Oh yeah, that's what it is. By Chicago? By Chicago. Okay. Great version. Okay. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 23:46

SPEAKER_01 23:55

Little bound? Okay. I never really got into Chicago. I there's a couple songs I like a bit. That voice is undeniable. Peter Sotera. I love this voice. But it's a good one to have the mix in the bag. Do they fall under yacht rock? Yeah. I think so. I guess you're right. I think so.

SPEAKER_02 24:21

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_01 24:22

Like, I I don't have any I'm not gonna shit on it just because I'm not from the West Coast. So it was you you were fine with them being released.

SPEAKER_01 28:09

I mean, honestly, man, he you know, if you come out of the gate in the first year there, you're in the final four, you got nowhere to go but down. Yeah. I mean, just let's peak too early. That's he peaked too early.

SPEAKER_01 28:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:28

And I mean, but but again, he was playing, he was playing with seven, eight um, 30-year-old players at that time that had been there four or five years. They were you know seasoned, they were veterans, like they just balled out. And then now you gotta you're dealing with this NIL and getting players and paying them. And you know, how do you think?

SPEAKER_01 28:46

You think he coaches again?

SPEAKER_02 28:48

He finds a job somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

100%. And where who would you out of all the coaches that are available or that you would want to poach anybody? That's gonna be I would not want to be in that guy's shoes, whoever it is.

SPEAKER_02 28:59

Me neither. People are saying that Iowa or Iowa State guy is good for us. You gotta need a name. You need a name, you need a Phil Jackson type. That they're saying um old boy that used to coach the Lakers. Um Phil? No, no, no, no, no, damn it. Um Luke Walton? No, fuck him. I just had this pulled up this morning. Um it was a young guy, and now he's like the president of operations. Maybe it wasn't the Lakers. Oh, Mike Dunleavy. Yeah, maybe he was on there. The a Hurley, but I can't have a Hurley because to do his brother. Oh, yeah, yeah. Bobby Hurley? Isn't that his brother? Yeah, it is. Fuck Bobby Hurley and Leitner and all those dudes.

SPEAKER_01 29:39

I hated those guys. But the goal is to get somebody with name recognition who's done a good job. You can't go on a rookie.

SPEAKER_02 29:45

Um, what about um oh man? What's your old boy's name from um Gonzaga? Can we ever get that?

SPEAKER_02 30:02

College basketball has to have UNC being good. They can't it just is not, yeah. The world is not right without that. Right, right. Going out the first round in the tournament to VCU is insane. Right.

SPEAKER_01 30:12

SPEAKER_02 30:22

So he had to go. All right. Goodbye, Hubert. Thank you for all you did. MC Duke. Okay, MC Duke in Arizona, dealing with an emergency at an adventure.

Wedding Emergency: Stop Or Keep Music?

SPEAKER_01 30:31

I'm gonna read this one because this one's a this one's a doozy. I was DJing a wedding last night, about 30 minutes into open dancing. Someone comes up to me and says, Turn off the music. Someone just fell off the cliff. I am confused at first, but then I turned my head to see that the photo booth backdrop had gone over the side. In parentheses, not my photo booth. I turn off the music. I go see what is happening. The godmother of the bride fell backwards ten feet down. I'm thinking, holy is she dead? I need my sensors to get me. After a few minutes, I hear that she is responsive and that she has way too many people crowding her. I threw on some cocktail music at low volume just to fill the space. Next after the paramedics came. They think it's just a head scratch and maybe some broken wrists. I'm told once she is taken away to switch the energy back and try to get the party started again. It was a tough recovery, though. The whole time I'm wondering if I should have done anything different. Hopefully, nothing like this will ever happen again. I would love to know your guys' perspectives. DJ M C Duke from Arizona, Instagram. Ever had that happen? You ever had a medical emergency? We had a dead guy in the hall. Wow.

unknown 31:50

What?

SPEAKER_02 31:51

Like recent? No, uh 10 or 12 years ago. Um, and he was unaffiliated with the wedding, to be fair. It was in a hotel. That's good. Just a just an uh arbitrary old man wedding game. Arbitrary death? Yeah, just just died out in the hall type scene.

SPEAKER_01 32:08

They brought the the the the paramedics.

SPEAKER_02 32:10

Well, I I wasn't the DJ. I just remember getting a call from the DJ like on that day, and he's like, yo, we got a problem. You know, the guy died, died in the hall, and you know, it just sucked the life out of the party, blah, blah, blah. Everybody's out in the hall now and trying to figure out what to do. And I, you know, I and and again, I don't remember. I've definitely had like, you know, somebody doing like the horror or something stupid, broken ankle, like fell off the horror chair or something. I've definitely had people blow out a hip and the paramedics came. The the worst one I can remember is when I used to play, it was right down the street at that place it was called uh high five at the time. It's been 16 things since. And the a fight broke out and a and a girl fell and I guess uh the the uh landed on a broken bottle and it's cut her wrist, and she is spraying arterial blood around the room in the middle of peak dance hour in a club. And I'm like, well, I don't I like if I kill the music, what is that gonna do? Like, isn't that gonna make this worse? And they're like people are screaming at me like, leave it on, turn it off, leave it on, turn it off. Like, I'll just never forget that sight of this girl just spraying uh blood out of her wrist, like during this fight. Wow. But my point is in a situation like this, private event, what do you do? Yeah. Do you go complete radio silence? I think you did the right thing. Yeah. I think you have to have on some sort of light music in the background. Yeah. And you let things get sorts, you know, sorted. Yeah. And then you kind of make an announcement and you don't try and be funny, like, hey guys, it looks like you know, Karen's gonna be okay. Um, the paramedics, you know, are taking good care of her. It's almost like what would she, you know, we we we want to honor her, do her right. Yes, yes. She wouldn't want this to kill the party for for Bob and Cindy's wedding. Yeah. You know, let's let's crank this thing back up. And she wouldn't want that to to be the end of this party. Yeah. What do you guys say? You know, like and then you could just go back into it. So I had this happen to two events I've And you play Kesha, die young.

SPEAKER_01 34:21

Yeah. Stairway to heaven.

SPEAKER_04 34:23

Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 34:24

Yeah. Um, so I had two events where something like this kind of went down. First one of Tom Petty free falling.

SPEAKER_02 34:33

Uh uh running up that hill, Kate Bush. I'm just trying to think of everything that applies with falling down, falling down a hill. I wish I'd have more time to prep for this.

SPEAKER_03 34:44

I could have had a bump. I got knocked down, but I got up again.

SPEAKER_01 34:47

Chumbawomba.

SPEAKER_03 34:48

Chumbawamba.

SPEAKER_00 34:50

Keep going. You got one second. We fall down, but we get up. It's a gospel song. Oh my god.

Onstage Death And Crowd Control

SPEAKER_01 35:01

Um so this event. You remember you heard the waste management open, right? You didn't hear that. Oh, of course. Right. They go. It's going in. So they haven't before it was that. It was this is like uh late uh 2009. You were playing there? No, I was this is in my days of when I was managing uh video DJs at the time. So I was managing Rooney G. Runy G. So we go out to go do this event. And uh we even brought, I think he was playing three days. Every day was a different headliner. Little John played one, uh, whoever. So, long story short, um we had a uh percussionist who was coming out to play with him the second day. Okay. So we're out there and there's a trapeze artist doing a thing to what Rooney's playing. There are literally 15,000 people in this crowd partying to what we're doing. Damn. And all of a sudden, I see this transpise artist drop. And uh somebody goes up to us and says, Turn off the music. And I'm like, There's 15,000 people here. Yeah, you're a rando. I don't know if you even made it over there. I'm waiting until some management comes because I was on the stage kind of like being buffered a handler. Yeah. So I said, Hey, uh we're not stopping the music. We're gonna keep rolling until I get somebody official to come up here. Right. Eventually they came over and uh he passed. This guy passed away. I actually have the article if you go to the next uh slide here. So this was what happened. This the Traz P artist falls to death during the show. Uh 15 to 20 feet, landing head first during performance in Scottsdale. This was in 2009. Crazy part was they canceled the whole vent. The the golfing continued, but no more parties. That whole thing was gone. Little John didn't perform, nobody, everybody had to exit out because this is now an emergency scene. They gotta do all of this. And so ever since I've seen like that trans, anytime I see an aerialist, yeah, I'm freaked out because I'm like worried about it.

SPEAKER_02 36:54

So the funny thing is did you actually see the the like I uh as you're scanning the crowd, do you see this dude fall off? Oh, I did, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:00

Oh and I thought it was part of the act at first, but then when he didn't get up, I'm like, oh no, this isn't good. This is not good. And like it was written up, dude.

SPEAKER_02 37:07

You've that means you've seen somebody die, bro.

SPEAKER_01 37:10

So that's crazy. The guy who was with us, the percussionist, yeah, he and I are friends. His name's Mike Beruti, he's out of Vegas, and uh so he texts me every so often. So I put the text exchange because we've only had about four or five text exchanges. This was like back in 2023. He's like, um, he's like, I freak out every time you I see this article. And then like two years later, 15 years ago tonight, we we saw that guy hit the floor at the PGA event. Oh no. And then just this last like December, he says, I still have uh what does it say? Flashback. I still hate watching this uh because of that that way that that event ended.

SPEAKER_02 37:44

Like every time he sees an aerial list now, I'm the same way, right? You're traumatized.

SPEAKER_01 37:49

I'm traumatized, right? Damn, dog. Um, and then I'll give you uh an upbeat story to an extent.

SPEAKER_02 37:55

Okay, please.

SPEAKER_01 37:56

So here we go. Um, I have a wait, you're gonna tell me five, six, too. Oh, okay. So uh I have one of my DJs who uh was doing an event on the beach in Florida. This one had the big multi-op. Okay, and I have a guitarist playing for the ceremony. Okay, grandma walks down. You know, the skin's a little brittle, you know, it's not like whatever. She cuts she cuts her leg on the one, I don't know, the chair, something on the decoration. Yeah, shell. Blood everywhere, bro. Everywhere. We got white sand, you know, yeah, everywhere. It's obvious. They call the paramedics. The bride is like literally waiting to come down.

SPEAKER_02 38:37

Waiting to come down the aisle. Oh, Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 38:39

So they put her in the like the little thing. Like, it's just a mess. So the guitarist texts me, like, man, I got a problem. Like the grandma She's bleeding out. She's bleeding out. They're putting her to the thing, you know? They send her to the aisle. I don't know what thing. I'm not trying to be funny. I'm just so uh he continues on. I text the DJ who's not there. He's at the reception site. Hey bro, heads up. Grandma bleeding out, bleeding out. Just the vibe could be a little off. Yeah. So just be ready, right? Right?

SPEAKER_04 39:07

Right, right.

The Grandma Story And Context Matters

SPEAKER_01 39:07

So I wait till like it's into dinner or whatever, and I text the DJ, hey, how's it going? He goes, um he's like, uh, grandma didn't make it. No, dude, come on. I'm like, this ain't funny anymore. I'm like, dude, she cut her leg. I mean, I there's a lot of blood.

SPEAKER_02 39:25

You mean she didn't make it at the reception?

SPEAKER_01 39:27

So, anyways, I'm like, I so then the the guitarist is texted me, also. It's like, hey, have you heard anything about the grandma? I go, dude, my DJ just told me she didn't make it. He's like, You're lying. There's no way. He's like, there wasn't that much. I mean, there was blood, but it wasn't like crazy. So he's he's like, I feel terrible for that family, whatever. And I'm and then on time, I'm like, oh my God, I can't believe this DJ of mine is having to deal with this. Yeah, it's still going on, you know? And so then I text him a little bit later into dancing. Like, is it getting any better? He's like, she finally showed up. She didn't make it to the reception. I knew it. The little bit of context goes a long way, dude.

SPEAKER_03 40:03

I'm like, how about finishing your statement, son? You only needed one, two, two, the you only needed three more words. Three more words makes a whole lot of difference. Context is everything.

SPEAKER_01 40:15

So apparently, like, she came back, like he did a special entrance for her. Oh, wow. Like everybody was hype when that she came back. But I'm like, man, you just made me think like Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_02 40:24

You're playing to a crazy at this point.

SPEAKER_01 40:27

You're not playing a wedding anymore. Totally. So, anyways, you gotta be careful with your words, all that to say. Damn. Well, let's put a bow on this. Okay.
