The dance floor is finally open and the planner vanishes. In this episode of Beyond the DJ Booth, Brian B and Joe Bunn pull back the curtain on a trend that can make or break an event: vendors leaving before peak moments hit.

Joe vents, Brian offers fixes, and together they build a simple system for smoother weddings and private events - clear pre-dance expectations, quick text check-ins for logistic cues, and a friendly nudge for planners to stick around long enough to see the floor build. It’s not about hovering; it’s about protecting the couple’s experience and preventing the dreaded “he said, she said” after the night ends.

From there, Brian recaps a relentless triple-gig weekend that tested his resilience - complete with a Turo cancellation, a hijacked Uber ride, and a seatmate who warned of seizures at takeoff. The takeaway isn’t chaos; it’s control. You’ll learn backup rental strategies, smart time buffers, and the minimalist travel kit that saves your night when plans fall apart.

Then comes the soundtrack. They share their go-to vibey cocktail-hour toolkit - mid-tempo grooves that keep guests nodding without drowning conversation. Expect a Curtis Mayfield classic, a Leon Bridges and Odesza moment, an Afrobeats flip, and edits that glide perfectly into open format. You’ll even hear how they program corporate holiday parties, balancing subtle seasonal cues with energy that feels natural, not forced.

The episode closes with a reminder: every vendor at an event contributes to the experience. Boundaries aren’t barriers, they’re collaboration tools.

If you’re a working DJ, planner, or event pro, this one’s packed with lessons that’ll tighten your systems and elevate your events.

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:18.399
What's up, everybody?

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.199
Welcome back to Beyond the DJ Booth Podcast with your two hosts, Joe Bun and my boy, Brian B.

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:26.640
What's up, Brian B.

00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.559
Dude, we got a power pack show today.

00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:30.160
Power pack.

00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:31.199
Power pack.

00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:31.839
Jesus.

00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:33.840
Lots of things this this show.

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:34.640
Okay.

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:36.560
Let's go to our first segment.

00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:37.520
Off the record.

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:39.679
Oh boy, right out of the gate.

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:40.640
Out of the gate.

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:42.000
Uh off the record.

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.159
Let me talk my sugar honey ice tea.

00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.719
They throw a shade while I'm sipping on this ice tea.

00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:48.960
Don't care if you hate or like me.

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:49.759
You know why?

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.039
Cause that's just how I see.

00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:57.840
I'm gon' say what I want to say.

00:00:58.560 --> 00:00:59.759
Time to rant and ready.

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:01.039
Get out the way.

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:11.680
Jesus, man.

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.680
You already got me fired up about this.

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:14.560
So go ahead.

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:15.680
Let's let's let's talk about it.

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:16.959
What's on your mind?

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.680
I don't get this whole.

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:25.519
I don't, I, I'm, I mean, listen, man, I I'll stir the pot a little bit.

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.840
And and let me start.

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:29.519
I'll start with the good parts.

00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.680
I love working with professional wedding planners.

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:41.120
And and I would say 90 plus percent of the weddings that I personally do have a professional planner.

00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:42.959
Let me clarify what that is.

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:55.599
That is somebody that has been doing it, has done a bunch of weddings, has a website, Instagram presents, knows how to make a timeline, knows how to do a layout, uh, knows how to, you know, talk to me, talk to their clients.

00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:56.640
Like they're good at this.

00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.040
Not somebody's cousin, not somebody's aunt.

00:01:59.200 --> 00:01:59.359
Yeah.

00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.200
I haven't seen that in a long time.

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:10.080
But I don't understand this movement of disappearing, let's call it at the end of dinner.

00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.879
Like the dance, song one, out of the building.

00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:16.960
Where the fuck did you go?

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.759
Like sometimes never coming back.

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.840
I have I don't see them again.

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:22.560
Wow.

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.319
I mean, they do an Irish exit, they're not even saying goodbye.

00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:30.560
I think they're on the property, but where are they?

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.719
And you have them on text.

00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.280
Yeah, I guess I could do that.

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.240
But I mean, think about now you're in prime dance time.

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.120
I mean, I don't really pull out my phone during prime dance.

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.800
I usually don't, but if it's hard.

00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.599
Like what we do is harder than we make it look.

00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:46.639
We can agree on that.

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:47.199
I agree.

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:47.680
Yeah.

00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.919
And yeah, I could probably say, Saquon, go go find him or her.

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:58.400
But I mean, I it's like normally something easy, like, uh, where are the lights?

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:03.360
Or, you know, what are we really ending at 1045?

00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.159
Or should we should we speak to her and end early?

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.240
Or, you know, are you guys out there ready with the sparklers?

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.039
Or when are we bringing in the glow sticks?

00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:18.000
Or I mean there are countless things that I need to know.

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.680
Now, do I expect them to stand right there beside me and watch everything?

00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.080
No, but it does lead me to my next point.

00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:29.199
I've worked with planners before the open dancing starts and they are gone.

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.479
And I'm like, man, I've been waiting to work with you.

00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.039
At least let me show you what the fuck I do.

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:36.000
Yeah, you know what I mean?

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:37.599
Like, I want you to see me play.

00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.759
I want you to see how this show is different.

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:40.080
Right.

00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:41.599
I want you to see how the crowd reacts.

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.599
I want you to see all these lights and cool things that I brought and the CO2.

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:46.639
I want you to get a clip.

00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.080
I want you to tag Joe Bun.

00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:49.840
I want you to tag Bun DJ Co.

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:57.039
If you disappear for the entire open dancing, two, two and a half hours, you you've really missed the show.

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:12.960
Yeah, it just doesn't make sense because then what if the client says something about uh well, you know, scheduling or the way you played, and then the the the the planner was never there, so they don't they never saw anything.

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.960
So they're just taking it on face value.

00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:20.240
So then it's like, you know, he he he said she said, you know, when something goes wrong, just don't get it, man.

00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.079
I I mean do you have any comment on this?

00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.079
Are you are you seeing that in Florida?

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.160
Are you seeing that with these these high-end planners that you work with?

00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.879
I do, but it's uh destination events.

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.000
You don't seem triggered.

00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.879
I well, because they they they come back.

00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:35.920
Mine come back.

00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:36.399
Okay.

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.160
I would say that for a destination event.

00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:46.879
Just walk me through like, okay, ladies and gent gentlemen, the dance floors open September and then what?

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.160
And then well, you played 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes?

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.279
No, probably toward most of the night they're gone.

00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.759
And and and for destination weddings, where what they're doing is a couple things.

00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.079
One, they're taking all the gifts to the room.

00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.639
Okay, hold on, time out, because I want to defend them.

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:07.040
I realize they're not, you know, sitting in the house eating bonbons or something.

00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:07.839
I get that.

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:13.839
They are doing shit, but like you even if you send the assistant back, hey, are y'all good?

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:14.079
Right.

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:14.879
Like, are y'all good?

00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:20.800
And and listen, I'm not expecting them to bring me a a drink or a treat or you know, give me a piece of cake.

00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.800
Like, no, I don't I'm not saying that from that base level.

00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:38.639
I'm saying there are normally things that I I need that I don't know how to do or that Saquon can't do, right, that are schedule related or logistics related that I need a quick check-in.

00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:39.360
Right.

00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.560
And again, I would love for them to see minutes of peak dancing.

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.839
Like, oh shit, like, yeah, we don't hear these edits all the time.

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:48.240
Sure.

00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.680
Oh wow, these lights do look different than than a gig bar.

00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:53.920
I'm not getting that what you're getting.

00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:54.800
A full disappearance.

00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:55.839
A full disappearance.

00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:03.920
I'm getting them coming back the last 15, 20 minutes saying, hey, whether it's hey, can you make a last call announcement or which I'm not doing.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.040
Oh, which yeah.

00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:09.920
Uh or number two, like, hey, uh, you know, this is a noise ordinance location.

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.319
We have to be done right at whatever, just a reminder, or hey, this is where you need to go.

00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:20.319
It is kind of tough though, because even if they're there, like uh the last this last wedding, they did do the sparklers.

00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.800
They're like, we're walking him down the she's giving me like literally instructions in my ear as I'm mixing.

00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:25.439
Right.

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.120
And I'm like, this needs to be covered like way ahead of time.

00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.800
I don't have time to talk about this right now.

00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.120
Like, I'm trying to like in this party already.

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:34.079
Yeah.

00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:39.040
So for me, I don't want them around from that standpoint of like giving me that kind of instructions.

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:45.199
Now that's why I ask if they're on text with me or with you, because for me, that's how I'm communicating.

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.600
Hey, I'm on my second to last song.

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.240
Better be ready with the with the sparklers, right?

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:50.959
Stand ready, right?

00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:52.560
Because I'm announcing it regardless.

00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.399
Okay, so that's kind of how I do it.

00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:56.800
Okay, to be fair, then that's a good tip for me.

00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.959
But I do like the idea of them seeing your set if you've never worked with them a thousand percent.

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:06.399
I I mean But I think you could you could set yourself up by saying, Hey, listen, we haven't worked together in a while.

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:14.879
If you said it early, I would love for you to watch the first 15, 20 minutes just to see how I kind of get everybody going and what that what a Joe Bunn show looks like.

00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:15.600
You know what I mean?

00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:16.240
You're right.

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.199
I mean, I'll I'll okay.

00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.079
You shouldn't have to, but I'm just saying, I'll take some accountability.

00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:21.439
I'll take some accountability.

00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:22.879
Yeah, it definitely happened last week.

00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.800
I mean, and I I just was kind of disappointed.

00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:35.040
I was like, because I liked working with her, the design was gorgeous, you know, like all the and it was it was that super small wedding I was telling you about 46 people, and right I dude, I got them going.

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:35.920
Yeah, you know what I mean?

00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.279
And and by the way, and I didn't say this in the YouTube video I made on that.

00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:40.480
Somebody made a great point.

00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.680
The next day I went to the coffee shop, and the guy, I go every Sunday, and the guy goes, How was last night?

00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.000
He just knows what I do, and that it's October.

00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:49.920
And I was like, dude, it was crazy.

00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:51.439
It was only 46 people.

00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.519
And I was like, But dude, they turned up.

00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:54.959
And he goes, You know what it is?

00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.839
And I said, No, and he goes, They all know each other.

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.839
Yeah, there's none of that peripheral extra 100 people, your parents' friends.

00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:11.839
These people were all already friends, so they feel 100% cup uh confident and comfortable dropping down, putting their hands on the ground and twerking, which was going on.

00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.680
Yeah, like there was a lot of twerking.

00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:14.079
Right.

00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:15.040
I don't see a lot of it.

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.759
I mean, and they were good at it, like it was it was moving.

00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.240
Yeah.

00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:20.399
That's amazing.

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:21.839
It was, you know what I mean?

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.399
Because they all knew each other, they they were all friends.

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:24.800
Yeah.

00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.199
Anyway, I rant over.

00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.800
I I love wedding planners.

00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:37.600
Don't get me wrong, but I I do think that there is there is a disconnect for about two to three hours where I need a little bit of attention.

00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:38.159
I get it.

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:38.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:44.320
When they now I did do one not too long ago where they literally just sat out there and didn't come in.

00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:45.600
They were literally outside the door.

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:47.600
And I'm like, what are you doing?

00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:49.360
Like, if you're working, that's one thing.

00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:50.000
You know what I mean?

00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.320
But just sit out there and not do anything.

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:59.679
Like, and it wasn't just for the dancing, it was like once they got done with the ceremony, they were off the clock almost, it felt like that's a good thing.

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.720
And I'm like, at least help me dismiss tables, like anything.

00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:03.600
You know, anything.

00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:04.559
Content.

00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.080
I'm like, are you even doing anything for the cake?

00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:07.120
Are you helping me out with the cake?

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:08.000
No, that's the venue.

00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:12.159
They're literally like giving everybody the responsibility, they're just sitting out there.

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:12.480
Nah.

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.679
And then the last five minutes I see them come back and they're tearing down things, you know.

00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.000
And I'm like, that is like kind of whack.

00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:18.240
Nah.

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.240
And that's very rare for the ones I do with this.

00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:21.759
I don't see that very often.

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:22.960
I I don't know, man.

00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:24.799
It there's a little bit of a disconnect right there.

00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:25.759
Uh that that's it.

00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.399
But you're seeing it more and more, or it's just regularly.

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:29.919
It seems pretty regular.

00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:30.320
Interesting.

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:31.360
It seems pretty regular.

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.120
And I I just I I don't know.

00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.919
And and maybe it maybe I should say something.

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.159
Maybe I should, you know, get the text number.

00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:39.279
Maybe I I don't know.

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.399
I mean, maybe I could do better.

00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:44.000
But you know, it it's a good sign if it's somebody new that you probably don't want to work with them.

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:44.559
Right?

00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:45.039
Yeah.

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:49.120
Like maybe I it's a good way to see how they are in their natural habitat.

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:49.519
Yeah.

00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:49.919
Right?

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:50.240
Yeah.

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.360
And you're like, wow, this isn't really somebody that I want to be getting business from.

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:53.679
Right?

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:54.720
You know, I don't know.

00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:55.519
I don't know.

00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:57.120
Anyway, rant over.

00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:58.399
Let's move into the gear corner.

00:09:58.639 --> 00:09:59.919
Okay, something more positive.

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:03.039
The gear's here.

00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:06.480
The gear.

00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:07.440
The gear is here.

00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.399
Is here is here, is here, is here, is here, is here.

00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.840
So at this point, I don't know what I've all I've showed.

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:14.559
You know what I mean?

00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.879
I gotta get our VA to like make a list.

00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.600
That's on my to-do list because I don't know what we've covered, what we haven't.

00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:20.399
So that's a good point.

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.480
One of the two pieces I'm gonna share today may have already been shared on a previous episode.

00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:25.200
I'm hoping not.

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:26.639
But we're going into hygiene.

00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.159
We've done this over a year now, right?

00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:28.480
13.

00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:29.519
Yeah.

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:30.879
We started in September, I think.

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:31.360
Yeah.

00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.159
I think the first episode came out on my birthday last year.

00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:34.559
Yeah.

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:36.320
So that was September 25th.

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:36.799
Yeah.

00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.080
Okay, hygiene.

00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:43.360
So if I miss if I've mess mentioned this before, I'm mentioning a game because I use it so much.

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.080
It's that good.

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:44.799
Damn.

00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.039
So do you um I don't know.

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:48.000
I'm getting older.

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.399
The the teeth are kind of kind of going apart.

00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.080
I gotta try to bring them together.

00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:53.679
So food is getting stuck.

00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:54.159
Oh, yeah.

00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:54.799
I hate that.

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:55.679
Yeah.

00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:56.799
And I never used to.

00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.759
All of a sudden, it's like this new thing I'm dealing with.

00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:01.600
So I carry floss with me everywhere.

00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:02.159
Oh.

00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:04.960
But the standard floss, you know, the Gillette style.

00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:06.000
I hate that shit.

00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:06.320
Yeah.

00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.200
You've tried these before.

00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:08.240
Not good.

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:08.639
No.

00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.559
So this is the premium.

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:11.840
This is the premium.

00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.360
This is called cocoa floss.

00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:14.240
All right.

00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:15.360
Coco floss.

00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:16.639
We hadn't thought about this.

00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:17.440
Okay, we haven't?

00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:17.840
No.

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:18.720
You need to try it.

00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:19.759
Pull one out.

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:20.720
There you go.

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.240
Oh yeah.

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.039
Oh wait, wait.

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:28.639
So it's still uh still a thing, but just I want you to A, notice how smooth.

00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.000
And B, there's actually a little flavor to it.

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:32.480
Okay.

00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:33.440
And let me know.

00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:34.799
Let me hit a little slight.

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:36.799
I thought it was gonna be like the picks.

00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:37.440
You don't like the picks.

00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:38.320
I don't like the picks.

00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:38.799
Why?

00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:39.120
I don't know.

00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:40.080
Transportation.

00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:40.720
Maybe.

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:41.519
Maybe.

00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.159
But is it just glide on there?

00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:45.840
My teeth are real tight.

00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:46.320
Okay.

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:47.519
But do you feel like it glide?

00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.519
That's one thing the reason I don't like these.

00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.360
Is because this hurts my teeth, because I do have some that are kind of tight in there.

00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:53.759
Uh-huh.

00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.480
But this is very, you know.

00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:57.759
I see what you're saying.

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.639
It's like better quality of string.

00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.639
And it's I don't know how to describe it.

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.600
It's just really good.

00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:06.639
$9.99 is the cost for this one thing.

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.279
So it is a little bit more expensive than your average whatever.

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.840
But cocoa floss, and they come in different color uh different flavors.

00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:13.840
Do you taste that?

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:14.320
I do.

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:14.639
Oh.

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:16.639
I didn't go full session.

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.480
I mean, I don't want to gross people out too much.

00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.480
But well, speaking of grossing people out, I'm not gonna do it.

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.559
But have you seen this little bad boy?

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.480
I don't even want to know what that is.

00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.200
So your breath scraper.

00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:30.240
Tongue scraper.

00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:30.559
Yeah.

00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.480
My wife said you should get one of these because it'll make your breath better.

00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:38.320
Not like in general, but just like if you're talking with the general public, sure.

00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:39.840
I'm like, I don't know, man.

00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:41.600
I'm not gonna be carrying this thing around.

00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.399
But it's literally like, and I'm not gonna do it.

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.000
So don't I'll spare you all on this.

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:51.039
But basically, it has these like little tongs that you do, and then this little thing here scrapes your tongue.

00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:52.879
You put that all the way back on the back of your tongue.

00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.399
On the back of your tongue, pull it forward, and then you just wash it with soap and water.

00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:58.480
And so allegedly it's very sanitary.

00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.000
Are you supposed to do it every day?

00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.200
Uh, I mean you can, but I bring it with me to the gigs.

00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.440
I see your tongue fully extended.

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:07.039
No, you don't have to do that.

00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:08.000
I'm being serious.

00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:09.360
Look how short my tongue is.

00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.799
I'm look from you're seeing me from side.

00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:12.000
What are we doing here?

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.919
This is like an actual, I think uh like a human defect.

00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.639
Look how this is my tongue fully extended.

00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:19.679
Look right now.

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.759
That's fully extended to the point where it's hitting the back of my teeth.

00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:24.960
I'm gonna show you again.

00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:27.679
Let me see yours fully extended.

00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.320
That's long.

00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:29.679
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:30.960
I mean, that's what they say.

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:32.159
That's crazy.

00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.519
But this thing has a case with it too.

00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:38.000
Yeah.

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:44.639
And if you like, I was shocked how I could definitely tell a difference in like that stuff coming off.

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:52.240
Like, I don't even know if it's just like bacteria or not just food, but I could definitely tell a difference with But you can't smell your own breath.

00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.960
No, I can't smell it, but I can I can feel the stuff coming off.

00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:00.159
So this thing is nine dollars and carry it in my bag.

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.279
I carry this, and that's in my bag.

00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:03.679
Okay.

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:04.960
So hygiene day.

00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.000
Hygiene day.

00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:07.279
You're welcome.

00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:08.960
All right, let's move on.

00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.399
By the way, yeah, you know what?

00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:18.480
Sidebar, I think this building, when I looked it up, you this part of this building that I've been in for 10, 12 years, uh this you know how it looks old?

00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:19.919
Yeah, I thought it was a schoolhouse.

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.679
It looks kind of like a schoolhouse used to look.

00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.120
I think it was the Department of Hygiene of 1900.

00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:25.600
Okay.

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.720
Early 1900s.

00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:27.200
All right.

00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.440
Just maybe that ties right in.

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.720
To hygiene day.

00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:34.639
Let's move into the story time.

00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:35.600
Let's do it.

00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.279
Bro, I got a story for you.

00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:38.159
Oh shit.

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:44.799
So I did a three triple, a triple event day or triple event week weekend.

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.759
Friday.

00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.240
I'm in Destin, Florida.

00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:48.720
Okay.

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:55.039
The next day, I take a flight to um Boca Grande to the Boca Grande.

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:55.919
Is it Boca Grande?

00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.759
I mean, if you were a Spanish, it would be Boca Grande, largemouth, because that's the That's what I thought.

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.399
I did look it up.

00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:03.519
Boca Grande, though.

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:04.480
That's how they say it, the locals.

00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:05.840
Okay, I totally biffed that.

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:06.480
Yeah, it's okay.

00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.480
And then the third one I did one in North Carolina.

00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:09.679
Uh oh, yes, you did.

00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:10.879
Yeah.

00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.879
So three, I mean, I'm gonna say we were in the same state, but there's far enough where you can't drive.

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:19.440
You get I mean, you could drive, I guess, to go to Boca Grand from Destin, but it would be about eight hours.

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.240
Nah, hell no.

00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:21.200
So I flew.

00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:22.000
Yeah.

00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.679
So uh everything and and the weddings couldn't have been different.

00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:29.120
The first wedding, which I'm gonna get into the actual story of the weddings later.

00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:34.559
I'm not gonna do it on this episode, but I want to give you the travel aspect of this because it was a Disney wedding.

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:35.039
That enough.

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:36.080
What do you mean, themed?

00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:36.639
Themed.

00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:38.000
Let me just just leave that.

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:39.360
Not sound like a Brian B.

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:40.080
thing, but go on.

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:42.559
The second night was an after party.

00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:42.879
Yeah.

00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.080
Which I actually I thought, you know, if I ever do a triple, that's the way to do it.

00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:47.600
Not three full weddings.

00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.240
Having something that I don't start till 11 o'clock at night.

00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:55.039
Yeah, I didn't feel the triple energy that I usually would, and where I'd be wrecked on the Sunday.

00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:55.519
Yeah.

00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.519
I felt great because I'm only doing that little piece there.

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.720
Um, but I use something called Turo.

00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:03.679
Have you heard of Turo?

00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:04.559
Yeah, the car.

00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:06.159
It's like an Airbnb for cars.

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:06.559
Uh-huh.

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:06.960
Yeah.

00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:12.080
And in most airports, it's great because it's they literally will either pick you up.

00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:12.480
Yeah.

00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:13.600
The guy that owns the cars.

00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:14.960
The guy will pick you up.

00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.200
Or they leave it in the short-term parking.

00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:17.679
Yeah.

00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:23.600
But at Fort Myers, which is the airport I ran into, they uh are doing a complete reno.

00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.399
So you gotta walk all the way around to kind of get to this.

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.159
So it took me about 20 minutes to get up there.

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:28.399
Yeah.

00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:32.799
And they usually shoot a video of like where it's located and you can see what parking space.

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:34.480
I go up there and there's no car.

00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:36.960
Sitting there for like, you know, five or ten minutes.

00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:38.799
Finally, I message the guy through the app.

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:40.159
I'm like, yo, where's the car?

00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:40.960
It's not here.

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:43.120
He's like, we're having some issues with the battery.

00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:44.879
Oh we'll let you know.

00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.639
So I'm waiting, waiting, waiting.

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.279
What was it?

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:47.919
Porsche?

00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:50.320
No, it was like some raggedy.

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.120
But you can get damn pretty much what you want on there.

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:58.879
And the the the beauty is not only the accessibility, but also the price because you're not paying rental car insurance prices.

00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.559
You're not standing in that crazy ass line, you know, all that stuff.

00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:04.799
So they eventually canceled on me.

00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.559
The guy canceled and said, due to um, you know, not being able to get the car.

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:09.839
And I'm like, well, what am I supposed to do?

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.160
I got I'm supposed to be like headed out of here.

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.400
And so uh I have to go back on the app.

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:15.759
They refunded me immediately.

00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:17.440
So that's the good news if you ever run into this.

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.960
But I'd never run into this before.

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.039
So I order another one.

00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.599
Unfortunately, they don't have any on site, so I gotta go off site.

00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:28.000
But the other problem with the app is you have to wait at least an hour between the time you actually book it.

00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.599
The first time I can book it is an hour later.

00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.519
So I'm like, oh my gosh, I gotta sit this crazy.

00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.920
You didn't think about just go walk over to Enterprise.

00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:39.599
Yeah, I was like, nah, I mean it just made sense to kind of just keep it through the app.

00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.000
Okay.

00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.000
So probably would have took about 10 minutes.

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:43.119
Probably a good point.

00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:43.359
Yeah.

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:47.920
So I go down to the the the Uber to get my ride over to the spot.

00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:49.279
This is the first time this happens to me.

00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:51.119
I'm walking over there, it's coming.

00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.039
I get there about you know 10 minutes later.

00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:54.160
It should have been there by then.

00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:58.720
My ride, someone is in my ride, gone, dipped, dipped, dipped in my ride.

00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:00.000
Because I'm looking, I'm like, where is this dude?

00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:01.920
I'm looking, I'm like, it says I'm in route.

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:02.880
I'm not in route, bro.

00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:04.640
I'm like standing right here on the side.

00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.000
So I'm like, have you ever had that happen on an Uber?

00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:10.000
No, no, so I didn't even know how to cancel it.

00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:11.519
There's no cancel button, right?

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:13.839
So I'm like, oh man, I don't know what to do here.

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.759
So I I click the help button.

00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.640
And it's like, are you uh, you know, dealing with an emergency?

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:20.960
And I'm like, I guess I am, you know?

00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.119
And it allowed me to cancel through an operator, basically.

00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:26.640
And I got refunded right away.

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:27.359
Right away, yeah.

00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:33.119
But then I gotta wait another 10 minutes for another Uber to show up, and it takes me to this guy's house to pick up this car.

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.000
Usually it's at a parking lot or it is sometimes somebody's house.

00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:37.119
So I'm there early.

00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.640
And then I feel like a total creeper because I'm literally standing outside by his mailbox, you know, going, yo, man.

00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:43.759
And I'm it's not ready yet.

00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:48.720
So finally the guy, I message him like, hey man, just so you know, I'm standing outside your house, you know, just waiting.

00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.119
Uh there's nowhere else for me to go, and it's blazing hot.

00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.279
It's like in Florida, Florida.

00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:53.599
Yeah.

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.599
So the guy comes out, he's like, Man, do you want a chair?

00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:56.720
I'll at least got a chair for you.

00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:57.440
And I'm like, nah, man.

00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:00.000
He's like, My wife went to go gas it up, do all the things.

00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:01.039
Okay, no big deal.

00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:02.720
So get the car, go do the gig.

00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:03.519
Gig's great.

00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:05.920
It was actually one of my favorite gigs I've done all year.

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:06.640
Build it.

00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:07.359
Next day.

00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:08.880
Hold on, pause there.

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:13.759
Because I did you you use one of Malik's guys, Johnny Rich, for the gear.

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:14.720
Incredible guy.

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.759
Johnny, Johnny Rich is getting married in a week or two.

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.319
And and I met him when I went to Malik's party there.

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:21.599
Okay, yeah, you can tell me that.

00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:25.119
And we hit it off, and he I was invited to his wedding, and I have a show.

00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.279
But I was going to go to Johnny Rich's wedding.

00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:28.799
Look at this text he sent me yesterday.

00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:30.400
Out of the blue.

00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.759
Yesterday, Tuesday.

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:35.119
I'm not gonna lie, Brian B crushed that after party.

00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.920
I said, bro, he is a nasty DJ.

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:39.759
And he goes, he really is.

00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:41.599
I was honestly blown away.

00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.240
Wow.

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:43.359
Just out of the blue.

00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:43.920
That's crazy.

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:44.480
Yeah, props.

00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:45.200
Nice guy.

00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:45.680
He was so nice.

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:46.880
Johnny Rich is great, dude.

00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:47.599
Shout out Johnny Rich.

00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:48.480
Shout out Johnny Rich.

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.599
So the next day, I gotta be in North Carolina to do this wedding.

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:52.720
So I'm at 6 a.m.

00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.440
on the flight, took Breeze Airways, which is brand new.

00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:56.640
One more, can I get one more?

00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:58.160
Did you go to my favorite restaurant?

00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:58.640
The Temp?

00:19:59.200 --> 00:19:59.920
No, I had no time.

00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:01.200
Oh, Johnny Rich went.

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:01.920
He went.

00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:02.720
He did tell me he went.

00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:03.359
Okay, anyway.

00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:03.680
Go ahead.

00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:03.839
Sorry.

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.400
So I take Breeze Airways and it's direct, bro.

00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:07.839
My flight leaves at 6.

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:09.839
You messaged me on Sunday morning.

00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:14.400
I don't know why you were up this early, but I'm at home at 7.50.

00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:15.279
From Fort Myers.

00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:17.119
From Fort Myers in my house.

00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:17.680
I know.

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:18.880
That's how quick it was.

00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:19.200
Yeah.

00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:20.720
I'm like, this is beautiful.

00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.119
But it only flies a couple days a week.

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:24.240
A couple days a week.

00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:24.559
Yeah.

00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:27.200
And there was probably 50 people on that plane.

00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:29.599
Uh out of 130 that I could see.

00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:30.319
That's amazing.

00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.079
So I don't know how long that route's gonna last.

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.559
Right, right.

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.079
But I will say, I get there.

00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.440
There's I'm in first class because there's really not a first class.

00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:40.559
It's kind of a high premium for is what I call it.

00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:41.440
I've been on it, yeah.

00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.640
So there's a girl sitting next to me, she's gotta be 65 years old.

00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.400
She puts her hand on my on my leg right before we start off.

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.559
She goes, uh, young man.

00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:53.839
Is that a good sign?

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:59.039
She goes, I just have to uh forewarn you that um I'm prone to seizures.

00:20:59.359 --> 00:20:59.759
Oh man.

00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:02.240
And I haven't flown since my last episode.

00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:07.200
So I want to let you know that if I have one, just roll me on my side.

00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:10.240
Bro, you can this can't be real, dude.

00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.720
I have a hundred, I've never had that happen to me, first of all.

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:16.240
Six in the morning, you've gotten maybe 30 minutes of sleep, probably.

00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:16.880
If that.

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.519
If that.

00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:20.079
And I'm like, have you let 510?

00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:20.319
No.

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:25.440
You might want to let somebody uh let somebody that has some training note?

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:25.839
Right.

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:27.599
Like, how you don't have a doctor's note?

00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:30.720
What is happening?

00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:35.359
And more importantly, the thing I kept thinking was like, let's say she has an episode halfway there.

00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:36.720
What if they have to turn back?

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:37.920
Oh, geez.

00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:39.599
Because I'm cooked.

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:40.559
Yeah.

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.160
Because I'm like, this is the only fight out on this airline for this one day.

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:44.960
And you have a wedding.

00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:45.839
And I have a wedding.

00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:47.200
I can't have this happen.

00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:51.759
So uh the whole time I'm just like so nervous, like she's gonna have an episode.

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:55.680
And next to me, the that premium seating, no one's sitting in.

00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:01.359
So I got this close to be like, should I just move on over, or is that just a jerk move to let her just like roll over?

00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:02.559
No, no, no, no.

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:03.839
You had to you had to help.

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:05.200
I put on the neck pillow.

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:06.000
Yeah, I'm out.

00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:08.160
I'm like, I if this happens, I'm not paying attention.

00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.680
So very possibly she seized out and sees him though.

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.640
He's asleep.

00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:14.559
But we get there.

00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:17.279
Thank God we get through it.

00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:20.640
But I'm like, dude, this is just like I you can't make this stuff up.

00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:22.640
Oh, that's that's wild.

00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:27.759
So, anyways, I I I as soon as we landed, I was like, hey, everything good?

00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:30.720
I'm like, congrats, you made it.

00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:34.160
He wakes, he wakes up, acts like he cares.

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:35.839
Anyways, made it to the wedding.

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:40.480
Wedding was great, but dude, travel, you said that wedding was super low-key, though, right?

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.599
30 people.

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.160
I'll explain that one on another episode.

00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.559
But yeah, anyways, I just say this for people who think that the travel life is luxury.

00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:53.839
Like, there's always stuff that happens, and you have to be just able to maneuver the punches.

00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:55.920
These two things that three things never happened to me.

00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:02.319
Right the Turo, the Uber, yeah, and some crazy lady that's got some kind of condition within like 12 hours, yeah, 18 hours.

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.000
Like, what is going on?

00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:04.960
Wow.

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:06.160
Good shit, good shit.

00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:07.119
Let's hit the music.

00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:07.680
Okay.

00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:09.839
Oh, we're talking about music in this episode, too.

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:10.160
Yeah.

00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:11.359
This is a you're right.

00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:12.640
Power pack, baby.

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:14.079
Power pack.

00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:44.960
So we're talking about um, I kinda came up with a category this time.

00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:49.200
It's of of like cocktail music that is more vibey.

00:23:49.279 --> 00:24:00.480
That's not your traditional fanks and atra stuff, but stuff that's kind of I'm not saying you have to play edits, but just like cool versions of stuff that you're like, I'm actually almost dancing, but I'm not.

00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:02.319
Like it kind of has that turn to it.

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.759
Yeah, I I get that.

00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:16.880
And um, yeah, the my choices, I would I would play sometimes a corporate doors open, or when I can see that like the crowd is more progressive or cool, I guess, or yes.

00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:18.640
That was kind of the word where I was going with it.

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.799
And I think maybe three of the four or five of mine are at the actual radio version.

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.359
That's great.

00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:24.480
The actual song.

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:32.000
So we're gonna put this on our Patreon because these are some edits, uh, at least some of the ones I'm sharing, it'll be on a PDF, not on Spotify.

00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:34.640
So we'll do a PDF listing of these tracks.

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:35.279
Right.

00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:37.440
Do you want to talk through your first one?

00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:38.480
Um, yeah.

00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.039
Do you do you know what is labeled as Saquon?

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.880
Just because uh Cross the Room.

00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:46.720
Yeah, so uh Across the Room Odessa with Leon Bridges.

00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:47.839
Ooh, is this new?

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.359
Uh no, it's been out for a while.

00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:51.279
Uh, you you'll as soon I love Odessa.

00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:53.359
Yeah, I love I love Bridges, yeah.

00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:53.839
Yeah, yeah.

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:55.119
Uh it's been out for a minute.

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:57.039
Yeah, give it a give it a whirl.

00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:01.519
You don't play this?

00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:02.880
No, yeah, here we go.

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.319
Long hair crossed the room.

00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:09.039
Baby, she got that glow.

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.799
So it never goes electronic or does it dance on me real slow?

00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:19.599
Even going for about two hours, and I don't even know what it is.

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:27.200
So baby, please reveal the calling.

00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:32.640
I feel like I'm I should quit right now.

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:41.279
Let it rap for just a fucking fuck you in.

00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:55.119
Yeah, that's nice.

00:25:55.279 --> 00:26:00.559
Bro, I feel I almost want to quit because I'm like, I've I pulled something that you don't pull and you like it.

00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:01.359
I can tell you like it.

00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:02.000
That's a good one.

00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:02.799
That's a good one.

00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:03.279
Should I quit?

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.599
Not yet.

00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:06.240
Not yet.

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.279
No, you said uh the McDermott guy.

00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:09.680
Oh, yeah.

00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:11.039
Yeah, I think the list?

00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:12.000
Yeah.

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:13.200
The one you gave me on that one.

00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:13.839
A couple of them.

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:14.079
Okay.

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:14.799
The Radiohead.

00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:15.759
Yeah, yeah.

00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:16.480
You like that one?

00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:16.720
Yeah.

00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:17.039
Okay.

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:17.920
That one was a good one, too.

00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:19.759
I know what I'm doing.

00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:20.480
Barely.

00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:24.480
Uh so this is another one of mine that's a regular version, no edit.

00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:26.400
But I just don't feel like a lot of DJs are playing it.

00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:31.440
And it's a great one to open dinner with, but it could also be for cocktails, too.

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:33.200
It's uh Curtis Mayfield, man.

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:33.920
Move on up.

00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:34.480
Wow.

00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:35.599
You playing this?

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.000
It just got that.

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:42.960
Those horns are just yes, the Kanye thing.

00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:43.920
Yep.

00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:45.920
Yeah, yeah.

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:48.960
But I don't feel like anybody plays this much.

00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:57.440
But people know this track, bro.

00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:01.119
Even though it's a deep cut, like people are like, they know the at least the artist.

00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:06.960
You know, but it's it's a good tempo in 128, 130.

00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:10.319
I feel like it's oh, I walk in on to a party like that, right?

00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:20.000
Pull up a good spot like an extra fly.

00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:21.279
Kanye would say.

00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:22.400
What's your second one?

00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:24.960
Uh, what have I got it labeled as my friend?

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.440
Oh, yeah.

00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:31.359
Literally Neo, Miss Independent.

00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:32.160
Oh, it's a great song.

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:36.079
It's a great song, and I just I don't, and this is just the OG version.

00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:37.039
Just give a little sample.

00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:40.720
I think most people know the song, but I I feel like it doesn't get utilized very quickly.

00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:41.599
It's not a dance.

00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:43.039
You know how I use this?

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:44.960
Could be, I guess.

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:50.640
If you run into something about it, I use the instrumental for in-between toasters.

00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.319
I can't figure it out, it's something about her.

00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:02.240
Yeah, great song.

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:10.480
All right, so this is the song um by Benson Boone.

00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:11.759
Beautiful Things.

00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:12.000
Yeah.

00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:13.440
Are you playing the original of that?

00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:15.359
I always play some edit if people want it.

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:15.599
Okay.

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:16.799
So this one I've been using.

00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:22.640
I think you can get it on Club Killers.

00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:23.920
I had stuff by version five.

00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:24.880
Oh, he's got great stuff.

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:25.200
Yeah.

00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:27.359
Editor, something like that.

00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:29.440
Anyway, this one's uh great.

00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:31.680
It's got some horns in it too, which I always love horns.

00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:33.359
So great for a cocktail hour.

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:40.079
Baselines, groovy, build it.

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:42.960
I'm gonna let it ride for a second so you can get the horns.

00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:48.000
But a good tempo, too.

00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:48.960
Like 120.

00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:55.759
But people think I love it.

00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:56.160
Yeah.

00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:08.000
I like this better than the original.

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.640
I do too.

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:14.319
But I'm all these things, kickers.

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.279
Ready for some horns?

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:18.960
Hold on, letter I.

00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:21.359
I'm gonna faded it out.

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:22.960
Okay, there's some horns in there too.

00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:24.240
A little bit later on the turn.

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:25.759
What do you got for number three?

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:28.880
Um, what have I got that labeled as, my guy?

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.440
Oh, yeah, nothing like the real thing.

00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:33.920
Marvin Gay, Tammy Terrell, but the uh Mr.

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:35.279
Collip Hart remix.

00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:36.720
I'm gonna nervous now.

00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:37.680
I think you'll like it.

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:39.200
Go ahead, drop that.

00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.839
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby.

00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:50.319
Ain't nothing like the real thing.

00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:51.599
No, no.

00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.720
Ain't nothing like the real thing.

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:55.680
Interesting.

00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:58.079
Yeah, it's gotta be the right crowd for this one.

00:29:58.240 --> 00:29:59.519
Yeah, but it kind of grew up like this.

00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:18.000
It's got that two thousand product.

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:26.000
Look at KMC.

00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:26.960
A couple of people.

00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:28.160
Oh, yeah.

00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:32.480
I would probably edit out that turn section and go right to that.

00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:33.440
Oh, the from her?

00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:35.680
From the beginning and to her doing it of the sets.

00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:38.640
I'll let you chop it up and resend it to me.

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:39.440
Yeah, I'll do it.

00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:40.000
I'll do it.

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:40.480
All right.

00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:44.160
My third one here is uh the song Ordinary, Alex Warren.

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:45.200
Yeah, another huge song, right?

00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:45.920
Massive.

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.720
This is the Flamingo Cartel remix.

00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:49.200
Okay.

00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:50.319
Don't know that guy.

00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:51.039
Me either.

00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:54.640
Just rides.

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:54.880
Yeah.

00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:56.799
Great for a cocktail hour.

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.079
So if they don't have this on their dancing list, I'll still play it anyway.

00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:06.160
Just so they know, hey, I'm fresh.

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:06.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:07.920
You know, I love today.

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:11.839
Would you play between the dance?

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:13.279
Oh, I've played a bunch.

00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:13.599
Yeah.

00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:14.319
Not this version.

00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.359
Oh, you got more aggressive ones.

00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:27.200
It's just like rides.

00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:27.839
I love that.

00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:28.559
Isn't that a good one?

00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:29.680
Fucking great.

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:31.279
Damn you, good boy.

00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:32.720
I got one more, I think, right?

00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:33.839
I think I only have one.

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:35.119
Starboy, okay.

00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.960
Don't look any further edit, which is the same.

00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:40.000
Who is that?

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:42.480
Um it was like Dennis Edwards.

00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:46.319
It's an old soul song, but it's the sample from Get Money Junior Mafia.

00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:46.799
Oh.

00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:48.240
Yeah, this rides.

00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:50.480
You've heard me play this same song.

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:53.279
Kind of like a Oh yeah.

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:54.799
Yeah, you love that sample, right?

00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:56.720
I think I've heard them say that before, but I love it.

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:57.920
I don't play it enough.

00:31:58.079 --> 00:31:59.839
I think you've heard me play this before like a monster.

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.319
Yeah, it does.

00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:16.880
Yeah, because they counter like I don't know a lot about flexible.

00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:19.119
I had to look them up.

00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:26.319
I'm like, I know just like talking money.

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:32.640
Yeah, like that.

00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:33.200
Alright.

00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:38.799
This is uh kind of in right now, the whole Afrobeat vibe.

00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:39.359
Yeah.

00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:42.559
So this is just the way you are, Bruno Mars.

00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:43.039
Okay.

00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:45.200
The Caesar Castilla, I think.

00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:47.039
I got I've got I've got a lot of his edit.

00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:48.799
Yeah, this is his Afrobeat version.

00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:49.279
Okay.

00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:50.240
I kind of like it.

00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:54.640
It's it's 120-ish, and you can go a lot of different places with it.

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:54.880
Okay.

00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:57.279
I wouldn't be, yeah, well, listen to it.

00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:02.720
Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like the night shining.

00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:06.720
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying.

00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:09.279
It's there, but it's not gonna be over the top.

00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:11.119
And I tell her every day.

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:13.200
Like, heightened area, you know?

00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:14.640
This kind of stuff that's better.

00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:15.920
Yeah, at our conference.

00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:23.039
I use this with a saxophone.

00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:26.640
So it gave them a lot of room to kind of like on the sacks.

00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:36.079
But just stays there, doesn't go too deep into anything.

00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:36.559
Yeah.

00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:37.599
The bass is different.

00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:40.559
Dude, I got two more for you.

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:41.440
Damn, okay.

00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:44.160
Our boy, DJ Grant.

00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:44.559
Okay.

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:45.519
That's my boy.

00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:48.000
Shout out DJ Grant from Raleigh, North Carolina.

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:51.519
This is Higher Love Steve Winwood.

00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:53.920
I think it's time to bring that one back, the OG.

00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:57.680
I I personally like that better than the Kaigo.

00:33:58.000 --> 00:33:58.160
Yeah.

00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:00.000
So this is versus just in case.

00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:00.880
Is it Jaheem?

00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:01.519
Jaheem?

00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:01.920
Yeah.

00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:02.880
Yeah.

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.319
This goes off every cocktail.

00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:07.440
It's 100 beats per minute.

00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:07.759
Okay.

00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:09.039
It's solid.

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:16.079
You don't know it's coming.

00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:31.920
That's a good one, right?

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:34.079
I'm about to take Grant right now.

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:42.880
Yeah, good.

00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:45.679
You can even fit it into a dinner set.

00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:45.920
Yeah.

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:48.480
But cocktail hour, people are like losing their mind.

00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:49.440
What is this?

00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:50.480
Is it all singing?

00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:51.119
Good, yeah.

00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:51.440
Yeah.

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.480
And it doesn't really, I mean, that's about as aggressive as it is.

00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:55.280
Yeah, right, right.

00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:56.000
That's where it goes.

00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:56.400
Right.

00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:56.960
Damn.

00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:58.000
All right, one last one.

00:34:58.159 --> 00:34:58.320
Okay.

00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:00.000
This one I think I've sent you to you.

00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:03.760
So my new guy, I'm on this new editor that I'm absolutely loving.

00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:05.360
His name is Touch of Funk.

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:05.760
Okay.

00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:09.679
Shout out DJ Shine, Jeff Mater, for introducing me to this dude.

00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:12.320
Um, this is yacht Rocky.

00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:15.280
So it takes the ace song, How Long.

00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:16.400
Oh, I know that song.

00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:20.320
But with uh Whitney Houston's I'm Every Woman.

00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.360
And I played this uh for Tara.

00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:25.760
She's like, you gotta start playing this one.

00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:26.400
She loved it.

00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:27.119
She was like singing it.

00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.800
So I played it because I was like, if she's singing to this, yeah, then I know a lot of the girls will.

00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:31.440
That's right.

00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:32.639
So check this out.

00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:34.559
And it does both in it.

00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:35.039
Okay.

00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.159
I made an edit with this intro because it didn't have the intro before.

00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:44.960
Oh, you added this.

00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:46.559
Boost it up a little bit.

00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:55.920
It is.

00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:02.239
You gotta hear how he brings the pace.

00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:10.000
I have cast a spell, secret shooting too.

00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:11.840
It's a special food.

00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:19.840
It's been going off like a blast.

00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:39.519
Damn.

00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:41.679
Has this been going on?

00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:45.760
And then it goes back into the verse of not his, but of Whitney's.

00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:47.199
So it goes back and forth.

00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:48.639
Yeah.

00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:50.239
I used to love that song, dude.

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:51.360
A great song.

00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:53.199
My parents wrote out of that.

00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:54.559
They might have had the album.

00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:56.880
So we'll put the whole list on Patreon.

00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:59.679
A couple more that we didn't list on here that I'll have on that list.

00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:02.639
Patreon.com slash Beyond the DJ Booth Podcast.

00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:02.880
Yeah.

00:37:03.039 --> 00:37:03.360
Get in there.

00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:04.079
Cocktail.

00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:04.960
Vibe.

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:06.719
Yeah, Vibe Cocktail.

00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:07.440
That's what we're calling it.

00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:07.679
Yeah.

00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:09.119
Vibe cocktails.

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:12.719
All right, Boothheads, we made a move and it's a bold one.

00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:15.119
We officially launched a Patreon.

00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:16.639
We've got two tiers.

00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:20.079
One for$5.99 and one for$19.99.

00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:23.920
Basically, the cost of a coffee or a cocktail, depending upon how you roll.

00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:27.280
Listen, this isn't some support us or we disappear kind of thing.

00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:32.639
You actually get some things that are useful that we think that you're going to need to run your DJ business.

00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:44.320
Like early access to batched episodes, bonus episode that we couldn't post publicly, maybe, and our weekly top 10 banger lists, songs that absolutely crushed at our events this week.

00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:47.440
You know, the stuff that you really want to steal from us anyway.

00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:52.880
But if you want to go deeper, jump into the booth backroom at$19.99 a month.

00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:55.039
That's where the extra love lives.

00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:58.719
Monthly prize drawings like headphones, merch, coaching calls.

00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:05.920
We've got Serato exports of our history, discounts on exclusive merch, and record pool hookups.

00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:13.679
Backroom members aren't just listening, they're actually shaping what this podcast is going to become and probably making your DJ sets better in the process.

00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:19.360
So stop texting us asking what remix was that and get in the booth for real.

00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:24.639
Patreon.com forward slash beyond the DJ Booth Podcast.

00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:28.320
Choose a tier, grab your spot, and let's keep building.

00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:30.719
Booth heads, you know where to go.

00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:34.880
What else?

00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:36.239
Question of the day.

00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:37.360
Question of the day.

00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:38.960
My boy, you know Marty?

00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:39.360
I do.

00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:40.880
He does message me every now and then.

00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:42.159
Whenever I do the shorts here.

00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:45.920
When I do the shorts post about you, he always is cracking up about that stuff.

00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.239
Uh shout out Marty Nightingale.

00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:51.119
I have a corporate holiday party in December.

00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:53.440
400 people in a wide range.

00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:58.880
For these kinds of events, do you guys approach dance music the same or different than weddings?

00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:00.559
Cheers, he says.

00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:02.400
And he gave it to us through Instagram.

00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:04.000
Which is a great way to get it to us.

00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:04.400
Sure.

00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:05.039
Might as well.

00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:12.880
If you're not, by the way, on at Beyond the DJ Booth Podcast or on uh the old Instagram, please make sure you do that.

00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:18.400
That's where we post clips from the show, graphics from the show, pictures from the show, info about the show.

00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:19.199
Anyway.

00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:21.519
What say you on this, my friend?

00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:24.800
I mean, obviously you've got different age ranges.

00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:28.960
Probably, you know, is gonna feel different than a wedding 90% of the time.

00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:32.480
Just because of of the the that dynamic in itself.

00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:35.519
So you're probably gonna play a little bit more, you know, some of the kitty.

00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:37.920
You're gonna play the K-pop right now, you know what I mean?

00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:40.800
Um I would say the only thing really differently.

00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:42.320
No, but it is still a corporate holiday.

00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:43.119
Corporate okay.

00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:45.599
So it's still in a wide age range, so maybe not kids.

00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:48.320
Well, I I would say it would be 25 to 65.

00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:48.960
Got it.

00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:50.000
If I had to guess.

00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.159
Again, like it's Deloitte or something.

00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:53.119
I I'm just making this up.

00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:57.599
The biggest difference is gonna be during dinner, I think, not necessarily during dance.

00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:58.000
Yeah.

00:39:58.159 --> 00:39:59.840
So I'm gonna play less love songs.

00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.320
That I was literally about to say the same thing.

00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:03.039
Yeah, yep.

00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:04.880
That's pretty pretty much the only thing.

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:10.880
As far as cock, you know, I do like actually we mentioned him a couple episodes ago, but uh Bobby Morgenstein.

00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:17.360
Yeah, he still has a solid jazzy holiday record that I still use to this day.

00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:17.920
Really?

00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:18.400
Yeah.

00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:20.480
Okay, shout out Bobby Morgenstein again.

00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:22.000
It's just jazzy.

00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:26.559
Yeah, it doesn't feel out of style because it's it's still like uh holds up.

00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:27.199
Holds up.

00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:30.159
And it's it's not old jazz, it's like new jazz.

00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:40.079
I don't play it the entire cocktail hour, but that's how I'll infuse holiday music into the like the cocktail space or even no words, no words, all instrumental, right?

00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:40.320
Right.

00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:41.119
And it's great.

00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:45.280
But outside of that, um, I mean, what else are you doing differently?

00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:46.320
I I'm not really, man.

00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:47.679
Yeah, I play it very much the same.

00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:48.079
Same.

00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:49.840
I'm gonna work through different genres.

00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:58.159
I'm going to um if I see, you know, one group uh of age group, I guess, is responding more so, I'll probably cheat towards that.

00:40:58.320 --> 00:40:58.480
Yeah.

00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:01.760
If I start getting requests, I'm I mean, you're gonna get more requests.

00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:04.239
I'll take more requests, especially from 400 people.

00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:04.719
Yeah.

00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:08.400
But I mean Are you playing any holiday music during dancing?

00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:09.360
No, absolutely not.

00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:10.639
No Mariah Carey.

00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:15.599
No, and even during like cocktail hour and dinner, I keep it to like very minimum.

00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:15.920
Right.

00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:19.679
Because I feel like by the time these parties have come around, they've been here all month.

00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:21.360
They've d not all month.

00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:28.000
Christmas music will start in it is October the 16th today.

00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:29.679
It'll start November 1st.

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:30.880
I don't know if he still does it.

00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:34.239
In fact, one of the FM stations here changes over for a week.

00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:34.960
Two months.

00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:35.280
Yeah.

00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:36.320
Over two months.

00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:37.440
Nothing but Christmas music.

00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:45.760
I don't know if he still does it, but our boy Jason Clock will when it's the first day of fall, yeah, he's blaring it already.

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:46.320
Yeah.

00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:47.840
Like he's proud of it.

00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:49.119
I'm like, I mean, I get it.

00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:51.599
If you like it, but like I can't do it for four months.

00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:52.239
No, no, no.

00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:53.519
I don't I don't like it.

00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:55.360
I I've never really liked Christmas music.

00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:56.960
I mean, yeah, I love Christmas.

00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:03.119
I love the the the spirit of it, I love the way it makes people happy, but I've never really been into Christmas music.

00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:03.440
Yeah.

00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:06.000
There are the the very few songs that I that I like.

00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:09.599
That's that's that's where I always seem to lean.

00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:13.920
That was the time when I would always buy new records, though.

00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:18.159
Any Christmas releases, uh-huh, I was buying five or six CDs at the time.

00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:18.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:19.199
Sure.

00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:19.760
Every year.

00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:23.920
Because the new people would cover Justin Bieber, like all the different people would be covering these things.

00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:24.320
Right.

00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:27.199
That's when I would load up on actual albums.

00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:29.119
But now, you know, you don't need to.

00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:30.639
No, you definitely don't.

00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:31.039
No.

00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:32.639
Not a big Christmas music fan.

00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:33.760
I'd play it the same, man.

00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:34.079
Yeah.

00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:35.440
Don't overthink it.

00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:41.119
Um, you know, if they get requests from the employees in advance, that sometimes helps.

00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:41.760
Yeah.

00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:47.920
Um they could start either a you know, Google Doc or a Spotify, you know, collaborative list or something like that.

00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:50.159
If you want a starting point, I would ask for that.

00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:51.280
Let's wrap it.

00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:52.960
