It’s Love Week, which means no clichés and no pretending. Brian opens with a question he’s clearly been holding in: why are there so many 140+ BPM edits in music pools right now? Are DJs actually asking for this? Or are we all just pretending faster equals better? What follows is a very real, very honest plea to editors to stop ruining good songs.

From there, we break down how R&B really works across a private event: cocktail hour, dinner, and into the dance floor. What to play, what to avoid, and how to keep things moving without speeding everything up. We share timeless and modern picks, along with practical mixing choices for knowing when a song’s done…and when the room clearly wants more.

Then we shift gears into booking power for 2026. Why generic “Top 50 DJ” blog posts are losing steam. How location-specific content is pulling in higher-intent couples. And where AI tools like ChatGPT are quietly influencing real inquiries. We break down what still matters with Google, how to tune your site for qualified traffic, and the small, repeatable content habits that keep your pipeline steady without chasing trends.

We also shout out the Patreon Backroom. Are you not in it yet? You're missing monthly bonus episodes, weekly banger lists, private edits (where we stash the deeper music pulls and wink-worthy blends), and gear giveaways.  Plus, a few tools we actually use on shows to keep workflows clean before the first song ever plays.

If this sounds like the way you already play or want to,  hit play.

And if you’re feeling generous, write us a review, leave a comment on YouTube or socials, and follow us on Instagram @beyondthedjbooth. Send this to a DJ who needs to hear it, and drop your favorite R&B dinner track while you’re at it. We’ll grab the good ones for a future playlist.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:22.960
I think you just up everybody.

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:29.280
Welcome back to Beyond the DJ Booth Podcast, live from Raleigh, North Carolina.

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.039
I say live, but it's really bad.

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:32.320
I was about to say.

00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:32.640
Right?

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:33.280
It's bad.

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.479
If you're wondering who's on the other microphone over here, Mr.

00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:37.200
Joe Bunn.

00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:37.759
Yes, sir.

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:38.640
I'm Brian B.

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:40.079
We are your co-hosts.

00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:41.200
So glad you're here.

00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.159
Dude, I'm glad you're here, and we've been here all morning.

00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:45.679
I'm hungry as a hostage.

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:46.560
I love that one.

00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:48.960
All I can think about is Chick-fil-A right now.

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:49.359
Okay.

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.479
I'm getting the kale salad with the nuggets on top, buffalo sauce, ranch.

00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:55.920
Shake it up with the little.

00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:56.880
Shake it, shake it up.

00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:57.439
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.320
Half unsweet tea, half diet lemonade.

00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.880
I have a Zoom call in like 30 minutes.

00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:10.480
I'm gonna have to figure out how to keep my camera on in between bites because I'm gonna be on that same order as your Chick-fil-A's order.

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:11.120
What do you get?

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:13.359
No, no, no, no, no.

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:14.239
I don't like the spice.

00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:14.959
I don't like the spice.

00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:16.480
No, there's no fries on the number one combo.

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:17.680
No, no, that chicken.

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.799
That specific one is a spicy chicken, is the number one.

00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:22.400
I like to get the grilled chicken.

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:22.959
Interesting.

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.239
Eat a little leaner.

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:24.640
Okay.

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:25.840
I do go fry though.

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:26.560
Yeah, you do go fry.

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:26.959
I do go fry.

00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:27.439
Small fruit.

00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.400
If you don't like the ketchup, you like the damn honey mustard pack.

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.640
It's not the honey mustard, it's like honey barbecue or something.

00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:33.840
Honey roasted barbecue.

00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:35.439
Yeah, he loves that shit.

00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:36.640
It's gotta be six.

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:37.840
Give me extra packs.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:38.319
Six.

00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:38.799
Six.

00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:39.280
Six?

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.319
Specifically six.

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.000
But you take like three home.

00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:42.959
I do take three home.

00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:44.000
Just to have some in the back.

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:46.799
I can't imagine how much is in the kitchen drawer.

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.400
Yeah, that's my move.

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.040
This is coming out Valentine's Day week.

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:51.519
Wow.

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.200
This will be on Wednesday the 11th.

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:53.439
Yeah.

00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.040
Valentine's Day is on Saturday.

00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:55.439
Okay.

00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:56.959
What are you doing with Ashley?

00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:57.599
What's the move?

00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:58.959
It's never been a move for me.

00:01:59.120 --> 00:01:59.359
No?

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:00.959
You don't have like uh any kind of tradition.

00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:01.280
Nah.

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:02.560
I know you don't like the flowers.

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:03.760
But are you?

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:04.719
I mean, it's a Saturday.

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.159
Going out, doing anything?

00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.120
You getting raked over the coals with the dollars?

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:09.599
Nah.

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:10.479
So what will you do?

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:10.719
Anything?

00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.039
I punt it to Sunday and just go to a restaurant.

00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.680
But I mean I don't think she doesn't care about it.

00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:16.639
I don't care about it.

00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.120
It's it's a fabricated Hallmark holiday.

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:19.520
Okay.

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:20.159
How about you?

00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:21.439
Nah, we don't do it either.

00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:21.680
Yeah.

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.039
We go pizza is the move.

00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:23.439
Oh, okay.

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.759
We started that tradition for some reason because we didn't want to remember you telling me.

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.599
We didn't want the man to take advantage of us, right?

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.680
So we go they will run it up on you on Valentine's.

00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:30.080
Oh my gosh.

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:31.759
They'll run it up on you on Valentine's.

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.319
So we go, nah, we go with uh the pizza reel.

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:35.680
Yeah.

00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.919
Well, we got some more things about that in the podcast episode as far as Valentine's Day goes.

00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.360
But let's thank our some of our friends.

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:42.319
We have to do this.

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.319
If you're in the back room, which is our top tier, we give you a shout out.

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.560
So we have some new people who joined us recently.

00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.479
If you haven't checked it out, you need to.

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.159
We'll talk more about that here in a minute.

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.120
But hit the first one.

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:53.520
Yeah.

00:02:53.599 --> 00:03:01.840
So shout out to some of our back room members on the Patreon, which uh my man out in Arizona Cataldi in the building.

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.879
Russell Davis and Ryan Michot.

00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:05.759
I feel like that's a good one.

00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:06.719
Is it Michad?

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:07.759
Michaud?

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:08.560
I'm not French.

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:09.599
I'm a French it up.

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:10.560
I'm a good Michad.

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:11.919
All right.

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.120
Well, if you are in that back room, we give out monthly prizes.

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:18.319
We do a giveaway.

00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:18.960
Yeah, we do.

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:19.840
In February.

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:20.479
What is it?

00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.360
The newer CMS28 Pro mics.

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:24.400
Yeah, those are nice.

00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:25.360
Talk to us about it.

00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:25.840
What are they?

00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:26.479
I don't know what they're doing.

00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.520
They are content creation mics, kind of the clip-on style.

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:30.879
I think they're like the roads?

00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:32.400
Uh like the road ones, yeah.

00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:33.599
You think they're better?

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.639
I wouldn't say better, but the sound quality is incredible.

00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:37.599
The range is great.

00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:38.400
They clip on?

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.080
They clip right on your shirt.

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:41.599
They connect to anything.

00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.080
A camera, a vlogger camera, your phone, whatever.

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:45.280
I mean, all the cables are in there.

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.719
It's in a little travel case.

00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.240
There's a video on my YouTube channel.

00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:49.280
What do these go for?

00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.039
Um around a Hundo or something.

00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:51.599
Okay.

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.360
So more value than your monthly$19.99, you're paying.

00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:56.560
Come on.

00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:57.280
This is good stuff.

00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:58.319
This is good shit, y'all.

00:03:58.479 --> 00:03:59.919
And you got a great chance of winning.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.759
I mean, there's not a ton of people in the back room.

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:02.319
Right.

00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:02.719
Anyway.

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:03.039
Yeah.

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.599
Well, let's hit our next segment then, which is off the record.

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:06.560
Off the record.

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:07.840
Uh, off the record.

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.080
Let me talk my sugar honey ice tea.

00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.639
They throw a shade while I'm sipping on this ice tea.

00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.879
Don't care if you hate on like me.

00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:15.680
You know why?

00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:16.959
Cause that's just how life is.

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.560
Say it with the chest.

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:21.759
Got a microphone, check it.

00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:23.839
Hey, I'm gon' say what I want to say.

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.759
It's right time to rant and rate.

00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:26.959
Get out the way.

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.720
Alright, so I've been going through the pools during the holidays, man.

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:47.439
And I cannot believe how many 140 BPM range track remixes there are out there right now.

00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:48.800
I 140 is.

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.519
Who is playing this for an extended period of time?

00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:52.560
Yes, bro.

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.160
Like, are we on drugs here?

00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.720
What is happening that we're creating these 100?

00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.639
You're wasting my time.

00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.000
Editors, quit making 140 BPM remixes.

00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.199
No one plays this stuff.

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.480
It's a waste of your time.

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.560
It's hard enough to get people to dance as is.

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.680
I mean, how many 140 BPM songs are you playing in a night?

00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:10.240
Two?

00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:10.959
Maybe.

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:12.800
I may not even get there.

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:14.160
Two, I guess.

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.079
I mean, they are littered.

00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.079
Littered in these pools.

00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:18.720
Really?

00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:20.800
140 BPM minimum.

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.720
We might go up to 160.

00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:23.839
Jesus Christ.

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.319
I'm like, who is playing enough of this stuff?

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:27.519
I don't get it.

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:28.879
So that's my rant.

00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.040
I just don't think we need to see any more.

00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.160
Keep it 118 to 130.

00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:35.040
I'm fine with that.

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:35.439
Yes.

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.040
We need more stuff in that range.

00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:38.399
Not this other crap.

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:38.720
Yeah.

00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:39.120
Wow.

00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:40.160
140 is crazy.

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:41.680
Like a trap beat.

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:42.240
Like, but like.

00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:43.439
Yeah, but they're going double time.

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:44.319
They're going double time.

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:45.680
You're doubling 140?

00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:46.319
So it'd be like that.

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.639
No, no, no, they're doubling the or like 75.

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:50.480
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:51.439
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.160
All right.

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.759
Quick pause from the episode because we want to say this clearly.

00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:01.759
If you've been listening to Beyond the DJ booth for a while, you already know this isn't surface level DJ talk.

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:10.800
Listen, this is real conversation about music, business, gear, mistakes we've made, wins, the stuff you're actually thinking about after the gig.

00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:19.519
So if you're one of the people who listens every week and thinks, man, I wish I had all this stuff in one place, well, that's exactly why we built the Patreon.

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:24.000
Listen, at the booth crew level, you get full access to everything we've already done.

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.519
Unreleased video and audio episodes you can binge all at once.

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:38.240
Our weekly top 10 music banger lists, and a simple way to keep track of the music we're talking about on the show without having to go back and hunt through old episodes.

00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.279
It's a clean, no-friction way to stay plugged in in between episode drops.

00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:48.079
Now, if you're already in the crew, the booth backroom is where we go a layer deeper.

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.600
Yep, that's where we drop an extra episode every single month.

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:59.360
Not only that, we have monthly prize drawings, which include sometimes gear or merch or coaching calls, even DJ show tickets.

00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.639
Oh yeah, and discounts on our exclusive merch.

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:10.319
And bonus content that we don't put out on the public feed, the kind of listening that DJs usually wish they had after hearing an episode.

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.519
So it's not just about more content.

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:14.160
Know that.

00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.639
It's about being closer to the conversation.

00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:27.519

00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:36.160
What's it?

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.319
Our next thing, the pop culture minute.

00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:39.279
Pop culture minute?

00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:39.600
Okay.

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:40.240
Brian B.

00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.680
Jobon dropping heat just for fun.

00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.160
Pop talk spinning like a wreck of spine.

00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:49.839
Woo!

00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.839
Pop culture class where the stories collide.

00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.439
Two DJs bringing the flavor we're a while.

00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.319
Woo! All right, so I saw this clip.

00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.079
I think this is good business stuff.

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:03.519
Do you know Sarah Dunn?

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.079
She's a educator for Wedding Pro.

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.920
I mean, we're not friends or anything, but I thought found this super fascinating.

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:15.759
And it goes into some things that we've talked about on this batch of material we've done this uh this morning with social media stuff.

00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:16.560
So let's hit this clip.

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.240
A few things happened in Wedding SEO this year that I think every wedding pro should know about.

00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:21.279
First, the bad news.

00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.560
We are seeing fewer clicks coming into educational articles.

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:36.799
So several of our clients in the last year have lost traffic to articles that traditionally got a lot of traffic, like songs to walk down the aisle to New Year's Eve wedding ideas or questions to ask your wedding planner.

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.279
In 2026, this isn't the type of content that I recommend that wedding pros focus on.

00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.519
This kind of broad educational content that isn't location specific.

00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:51.279
Instead, we're gonna be focusing on location-specific content that really shows you're a local expert.

00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:56.240
It may get less traffic, but it's gonna bring in more qualified traffic that's more likely to inquire.

00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:02.159
Now the good news we are seeing increased traffic, inquiries, and bookings to our clients from Chat GPT.

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:11.679
We track 26 inquiries for one of our wedding planner clients from Chat GPT, 19 for one of our hair and makeup artists, and about a dozen for an elopement and micro wedding company.

00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.080
I think this is exciting because it's a new and fun opportunity to get found.

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.480
And users who come from ChatGPT seem to be more likely to inquire.

00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.559
So it's a great place to get found and get more exposure.

00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:31.360
The last thing you need to know is that Google stayed the Mac Daddy of website traffic for wedding industry websites.

00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:42.399
For our clients, Google usually drove 60 to 70 percent of their website traffic, while other platforms like ChatGPT and Instagram drove maybe one to five percent each.

00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:43.120
That's interesting.

00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:51.919
Keep an eye on what's working right now and what may grow in the future if you want to see the most success with your SEO.

00:09:52.159 --> 00:10:00.960
So that was interesting because we just talked about a couple episodes ago social media and going to the website to where your contact form is is what, one to five percent, she's saying.

00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:02.159
Now, this is with her clients.

00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.279
She actually runs an SEO company and tracks a lot of this metric.

00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:10.159
So, not probably a ton of overall data, but for the people that she works with, that's what they're seeing.

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.159
Chat GPT is interesting as well.

00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:16.559
And I really have not done any kind of research into how I was found that way.

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:23.600
I know it scans more than just the Google algorithm, but your socials and a lot deeper things beyond just that.

00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:24.480
So I don't know.

00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:29.600
I just thought it was an interesting thing to be looking at, making sure that your SEO is at least up to date.

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:34.320
I know that we talk about him often, but Brian Lawrence does a lot of our shout out, Brian Lawrence.

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.639
If you haven't looked at him, go to is it Brian Lawrence.com.

00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.840
But any thoughts that you have just from what she said here?

00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.360
She lost me by holding the lavalier mic in her hand at some point.

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.000
I'm sorry.

00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.240
I that shit drives me bonkers.

00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.559
Like it's meant to clip on your shirt.

00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:50.320
I don't get when people hold it.

00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:55.679
Uh sometimes I I just get she lost me halfway through the video.

00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.440
It's like um man, I like what she's saying.

00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:05.679
I do think there is still value in the, you know, use these to walk down the aisle to instead of Canon and D type videos.

00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:06.960
I I still like those.

00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.639
I mean, some stuff is location specific, some stuff it's not, right?

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:14.320
It kind of transcends all areas for for weddings sometimes.

00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.919
My take on it is that those articles you can find them in other places now.

00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:18.240
Yeah.

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.360
So like that's true.

00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.919
If I'm searching for music, I'm going to Spotify.

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.080
Yeah.

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:23.120
I'm looking up playlists.

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:23.519
You're right.

00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.720
I'm not looking on Google for my answer to top wedding songs.

00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:27.440
Or I'm looking on.

00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:33.440
You might look to a DJ that would give you an honest take instead of just seeing a 50-song playlist on Spotify.

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.559
You're an expert, right?

00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:39.279
And again, let's not dissuade people from just being active on social, man.

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:45.039
There's so many of our friends that are just legendary, and then so many of our friends are just so shitty at social.

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:49.919
Like I'd rather see you make the video that she's saying is not gonna work than do nothing.

00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.000
I mean, even if you're not in the video, right?

00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.000
You can you can put a background of of people dancing here at last wedding and put the text over it.

00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.519
And people will stop and read that.

00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:58.399
You know what I mean?

00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.480
Like maybe I think I still think it's helpful.

00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:01.600
I is it gonna trend?

00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:02.480
Is it gonna pop off?

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.559
Is it gonna go viral and you know get you booked for the Dunkin' Donuts convention in Vegas?

00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:07.279
Probably not.

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.600
Well, I think that's what she's going for here is like what is gonna lead to direct bookings, and it seems like I'm not discounting her.

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.440
She knows way more than I do on this stuff.

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:19.600
I agree with her wholeheartedly, but I'm just saying, don't not do anything.

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:19.919
Right.

00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:21.679
Please be active, please be consistent.

00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:23.039
Well, we haven't hit music in a while.

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:32.799
Great, finds, great, finds digging deep for the good times, great, fine's great, finds hidden gems in the rewind.

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:40.000
I'm actually trying to get this RB Valentine's Day party booked.

00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:40.320
Yeah.

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.200
It's a guy who throws this party every year in New York City.

00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.399
I have not been used in the entertainment side of it before.

00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:51.360
So I've already lobbied for it, and I want to be like this RB Valentine's Day vibe.

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:55.039
You should make a mix, man, and send it to him and be like, this is where my head's at.

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:55.360
Yeah.

00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.480
Well, I sent him some ideas already, but I need to probably put it in.

00:12:58.799 --> 00:12:59.440
Mix it live, bro.

00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:01.120
Come in here and drop, drop it in this TV.

00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.120
Like growing up, well, that's where I'm saying.

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.480
That's where I got a little sideways when he told me dial it in a little bit.

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:10.559
Okay, so the thought was here to create a list of some songs that's not just dancing.

00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.320
Because sometimes when I think about RB, I think about just like slow jams.

00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.799
Like stuff that you would make a baby to.

00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:18.240
You could that could be a part of this list.

00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:19.759
I'm not making any more babies, by the way.

00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:25.679
But like I was thinking, what are some songs that are working at your gigs that are either old RB?

00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:35.919
I'm talking like Stevie Wonder type stuff that could be used for a cocktail or dinner, or what could be some things that you have played recently that are dance for fillers in the RB genres that are working well?

00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:36.240
Okay.

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:39.039
I made a list, I got like about 15 of these.

00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.080
I got 37.

00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:40.799
No, I'm just kidding.

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.320
And I'll I got 15 as well.

00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.919
What we'll do for the backroom members, or should we do it for all the Patreon?

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:46.639
Should we do all the paid?

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:47.759
I think all the Patreon.

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:48.799
Yeah, all the Patreon.

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.360
We'll make a Spotify playlist with some of these songs.

00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:51.679
Okay.

00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:56.639
You will want to check out the bonus content for specific uh things, edits.

00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.200
Maybe.

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:57.679
Maybe.

00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.159
Maybe.

00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.480
So these are some songs that I've been playing recently.

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:17.200
And then you're just gonna say the song and artists, and then we'll on uh I'll insert some not all of them, but some of the ones that we've talked about because some people know some of these, but one of the ones I want to throw a callback to that I played at one of my latest weddings that really popped off was the song Could It Be I'm Falling in Love by the Spinners.

00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:17.519
Right.

00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:41.120
Great song.

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:42.159
Great track.

00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:42.879
I love that song.

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:44.240
And I think it's one of those forgotten ones.

00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:45.120
I love that song too.

00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:46.480
Yeah, cross all genre.

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:48.480
I'm falling in love.

00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:48.799
Okay.

00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:49.440
What you got?

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:50.960
What you let's go back and forth a little bit.

00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:55.840
Okay, well, if we're gonna go old like that, I you know my standard doors open.

00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.480
It's not first song, at least in the first three, is always Bill Withers Lovely Day.

00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:01.840
It just feels right.

00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.360
The sun's usually still up.

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.399
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.240
Either that or interchanged with Redbone, Come and Get Your Love.

00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:11.039
Oh, that's a good one.

00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:12.879
Yeah.

00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:13.440
Yeah.

00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:20.399
One more in that genre, old school stuff is the song called That Lady, part one and two by the Isley Brothers.

00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:21.120
Yeah.

00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:01.519
Great track.

00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:02.320
Crushes.

00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:02.960
Really?

00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:04.480
Does great for me during dinner.

00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:05.840
I mean, some uh dinner tracks.

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:07.360
What are some other more current ones here?

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.720
I'm a Neo guy, man.

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.840
Like, you know, people kind of go like, oh, I like Usher.

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:16.799
There's always like that one dude in that age range that kind of people are drawn towards.

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.840
Neo's kind of my guy for some reason.

00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:20.480
I don't know.

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.320
I mean, I put him in the category with Usher.

00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.559
I guess I would put him with a Chris Brown, but for some reason I always towards lean towards Neo's song.

00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:27.600
I love because of you.

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:29.200
I've got this eccentric flip.

00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:30.960
Pierce cut it up some more.

00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:42.080
I need a dependent.

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.759
Tell myself I stop every day.

00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:58.000
I feel like Neo can Neo's a little less uh raunchy.

00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:58.480
Yes.

00:16:58.720 --> 00:16:58.879
Right.

00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:01.120
Usher can get a little crazy sometimes.

00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:02.080
A little more adult.

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:02.320
Yeah.

00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:02.559
Right.

00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:03.120
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:04.640
Ronin's sexy, if you will.

00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:06.319
So my counter to that.

00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:06.559
Yeah.

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:07.200
My guy.

00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:07.759
Who's your guy?

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.480
Miguel.

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.839
I love Miguel, bro.

00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:14.000
We talk about when Miguel kicked that lady in the head at the MTV Awards all the time.

00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.759
I played him that clip before.

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:16.720
Do you remember that?

00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:17.119
Oh yeah.

00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.599
When he tried to jump over the pit and kick that lady in the head.

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.400
I love Miguel.

00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.599
So my track, if you're not playing it, is Pineapple Skies.

00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.160
God damn, don't get me started on Pineapple Skies.

00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.000
I'm gonna go top ten ever.

00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:28.559
It's great.

00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:29.920
Top 10 songs of all time.

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:30.799
I don't feel like it's a good one.

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.480
Just from my personal get in the car.

00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.599
That might have been the last time I had that Bruno Mars feeling.

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:36.960
Pineapple Skies.

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:38.640
Whenever that's a long time ago.

00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:39.119
I know that.

00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:40.079
That's what I told you.

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:40.720
Jeez.

00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:41.359
Okay.

00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:42.799
I love that song.

00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:47.519
Other trees are enough, baby.

00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.160
It's probably a purpose, God.

00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.640
Promise everything gonna be alright.

00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:07.519
Promise everything gonna be alright.

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.880
Try everything gonna be alright.

00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.200
Anything else in the dinners?

00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:14.720
You know who can do no wrong in my opinion?

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:16.480
Leon Bridges does no wrong.

00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.680
Even that the song that he did with Odessa across the room.

00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:22.480
I love that one.

00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:24.559
Coming home, The River, whatever.

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.359
Any Leon Bridges is great for me for dinner.

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.160
You can't have an RB list without including Sade.

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:31.599
It's right here on my list.

00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:32.160
What do you like?

00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:33.759
Kiss of life is my go-to.

00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:36.880
Your love is king, is like still to me gold.

00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:38.559
Your love is king.

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.079
Crown you with my heart.

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.839
Your love is king.

00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:49.039
Now I need to watch your kisses ring.

00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.960
It's making my soul say, tearing the barrel over me.

00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:05.279
I'm crying out the more you are this game.

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.880
It's so it's just so good.

00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:09.440
Yeah.

00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:10.559
The band is good.

00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:12.400
The band is ridiculous.

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.519
It's so good.

00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:21.599
And then I also like this cover of the Temptation song Just My Imagination with Babyface and Gwyneth Paltrow.

00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:23.039
Random pairing.

00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:23.519
Wow.

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:24.480
The baby face.

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:25.599
So good.

00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:28.480
I don't pick those kinds of covers unless they're really good.

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:37.200
Anytime you're gonna diddle a Motown song, you're gonna have to really sell me on.

00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:37.680
Okay.

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.400
But it wasn't just my imagination.

00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:45.839
Run in the way with me.

00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:51.200
Tell you it wasn't just my imagination.

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.480
Run in the way with me.

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:05.599
Soon we'll be married and raise a family.

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:10.720
I like Ain't No Mountain High Enough, right?

00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:12.319
And I got it very dance track, right?

00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:13.839
I I yeah, for a dance track.

00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:22.559
But I go back and forth between either that neon rad redrum or the the Drew Infused one with do a leap at Don't Stop.

00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:23.119
Nah.

00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:23.519
Huh?

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:25.200
Which one are you gonna do?

00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:26.319
You got a surprise at it.

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:27.119
Oh Jesus.

00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:28.160
I need to send it to you.

00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:29.680
It's with uh Jay Sean.

00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:30.480
Down?

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.720
I call it Ain't No Mountain Down Enough.

00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:33.599
Oh shit.

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.799
That might go crazy.

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.920
Send it to your boy.

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.079
Oh, it's the You might as well insert it here as well.

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:39.119
Yeah, I'll insert it here.

00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:39.359
Okay.

00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:40.160
Yeah, it's the one I can.

00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:41.680
Send it to your boy though.

00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.000
Ain't no mountain half.

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:45.680
Ain't no validone.

00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:47.039
Ain't no river.

00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.279
Why enough, baby?

00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:54.960
You need to call me no matter where you are, no matter how far.

00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.799
Don't worry, baby.

00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:58.559
Just call my name.

00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:00.319
I'll live there in the hurry.

00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:02.079
You don't worry.

00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:18.319
Do I know?

00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:22.960
Tonight is tonight too late.

00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:24.480
And I've got a couple of versions.

00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:27.519
If it's an older crowd, I don't include the wheezy verse.

00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.559
If it is a younger crowd, then I include the wheezy verse.

00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.599
For the young crowd, it's good, but I love that Jay Shon song.

00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:34.720
Oh, and we don't play that enough.

00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:35.680
And I need to bring that back in.

00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:36.799
And it comes out of nowhere.

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:38.960
Like you don't even realize that that's the beat it's under.

00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:40.400
You're just like, oh, this sounds good.

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:41.680
Let me give you another one.

00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:42.079
Okay.

00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:44.400
This is an interesting one that's worked well for me recently.

00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:45.119
During dinner.

00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:45.440
Okay.

00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.319
Stick with you.

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.039
Who is that again?

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:48.160
Pussycat dolls.

00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:48.720
Wow.

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:50.079
Great track.

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:52.240
Can I allow you to call that RB?

00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:53.599
What?

00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:54.559
What would it be?

00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:56.160
Pussycat dolls?

00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:56.720
Pop.

00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:57.200
Pop?

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.240
No, nah.

00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:00.160
She's got they got a lot of sisters.

00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.559
I don't know.

00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:01.839
I had I'd have to hear that one.

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.480
I'd have to hear that.

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:03.359
Oh, I think that's black.

00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:04.640
I don't even think there's a sister.

00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:07.200
What do you mean?

00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:07.599
Nicole?

00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:08.000
Yeah.

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:08.400
Nicole?

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:09.920
No, she's not.

00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:11.599
Nah, she's finger.

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:12.480
That's not black.

00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:13.359
Scherzinger?

00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:14.480
No, wait, wait.

00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:15.200
Who's the main singer?

00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:16.799
The main girlfriend is a little bit of a Nicole Scherzinger.

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:17.839
But she's black?

00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:18.960
Nah, look it up.

00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:19.680
Oh no, no.

00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:20.559
Go ahead.

00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:22.000
Show me that picture.

00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:23.200
Ain't no way.

00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:24.079
Not a picture.

00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:26.400
Just Google what her ethnicity is.

00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:28.000
While he's doing that.

00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:29.680
Another dinner banger.

00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:29.920
Okay.

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:31.599
You can't make any list without Janet.

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:32.079
Agreed.

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:32.799
A thousand percent.

00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:33.519
I should have put her on.

00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:36.160
So my track is Got Till It's Gone.

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:37.119
Absolute favorites.

00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:39.039
It's always on my cool cocktails list.

00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.079
I think the Q-tip out.

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:40.559
Oh, okay.

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:41.359
Just Janet.

00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:41.920
He does it.

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:43.440
I think he curses in it as well.

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:44.319
He curses in it.

00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:46.559
I'm gonna bring back a real throwback here.

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:47.519
Tevin Campbell.

00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:48.160
Can we talk?

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:48.640
Oh yeah.

00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:49.359
Remember that song?

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:49.839
Yeah.

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:50.720
He was on my list.

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.519
I would think, I would hope every DJ is playing that.

00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:54.720
At least I play it often.

00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:55.599
I didn't even count.

00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:57.279
Do you freak with um Khalid?

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:57.680
Yeah.

00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:58.480
Can we just talk?

00:22:58.799 --> 00:22:58.960
Talk?

00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:00.720
Yeah, it was on my I played it for New Year's Eve.

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.200
Okay.

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.200
She is Filipino.

00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:03.759
Yes.

00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:06.640
And Ukrainian.

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.839
Oh G, bro.

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:09.359
She's got some dark skin then.

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.039
She got a lot of skin.

00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:11.519
Filipinos.

00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.799
I mean, Filipinos can be dark.

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:13.119
That's true.

00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:13.359
That's true.

00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:14.000
Here you go.

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:14.880
You want to shout out Filipinos?

00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:15.920
I don't think you're playing this one.

00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:16.319
Go ahead.

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:16.720
Go ahead.

00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:18.240
Unpredictable.

00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:18.880
Oh, damn.

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:19.920
Jamie Fonds.

00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:20.559
Wow.

00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:21.440
Featuring a movie.

00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:22.720
That's a throwback.

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:24.640
It goes off, my brother.

00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:25.680
How about this?

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.279
How about SWV right here?

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:27.920
The human nature.

00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:29.359
Yeah, that's a good one, too.

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:29.599
Yeah.

00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:30.079
I can't.

00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:31.599
How did they get that sample?

00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:34.000
And I feel like I can't do Michael like that.

00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:35.920
I gotta play the human nature.

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.279
Y'all ain't say T-Pain once.

00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:40.000
That's true.

00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:40.559
Yeah, that's true.

00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:41.359
I had him on my list.

00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:42.240
I love T-Pain.

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:44.400
We brought bartender lately.

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:45.599
Bartender is a good one.

00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:45.920
All right.

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:46.799
You want me to give me another one?

00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:47.119
Hold on.

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:47.839
Can I give you one more?

00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:48.559
Yeah, go ahead.

00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:54.000
This to me is what I really consider RB, even though it's not really danceable, Maxwell.

00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:55.599
I thought it is RB.

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.400
That's baby music.

00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.160
I mean, no, I'm saying it's not RB as what we're we're talking about right now.

00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:01.920
This is what I think RB trains.

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.039
What you want?

00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:03.440
Ascension?

00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:03.920
Ascension.

00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:14.160
All I want is who we can do a little something.

00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:23.920
So we can kick a little something.

00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:29.920

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.480
I've seen people try and like make a baby out there.

00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:35.759

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:37.119

Step two step step in the name of love.

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:50.720
That was when like I was playing anything like truly where it was like a truly mixed event.

00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:52.079
Like it was like 50-50.

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.880
I'd be like, Step in the name of love, too close by next, Frankie Beverly amazing.

00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:59.839
Like that's when they were like, oh, okay, this guy knows what he's doing.

00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:01.599
You know which one of his I played recently?

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:02.799
Cookout guy.

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:05.359

00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:06.160
Oh, yeah.

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:07.279
That's a crazy one.

00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:08.640
You're uncanceling R.

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:10.400
No, I mean that's one of the few I play.

00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:11.440
I do play Ignition.

00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:13.200
I do play Ignition too.

00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:14.400
I play it too.

00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:15.599
I'm just saying, I think.

00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:16.000
All right.

00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:19.519
So let me give you uh two other dan dance tracks you should consider.

00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:22.079
Um this one went off for me this last week.

00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:23.440
Flex by Cupid.

00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:27.200
I do, I If they know the dance, I know it goes off.

00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:28.000
It got big.

00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:32.480
I'm like, what is all the only time we played that song was that that Native American wedding we did.

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:33.039
Remember that?

00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.720
The video popped off and Cupid commented on it and reposted it.

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:36.960
Yeah.

00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:37.440
Oh, yeah.

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:38.480
Yeah, yeah.

00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:39.680
Yeah, I'll show it to you.

00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:45.440
And then uh the last one I have on this list that I'll share today is the hashtag beautiful.

00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:47.680
This is also Miguel, Mariah Carey and Miguel.

00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:48.559
The song was beautiful.

00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:50.480
I mean, it's it came out in the 2000s.

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:50.880
Yeah.

00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:56.160
It's hitting right with this kind of age range of brides and grooms, so it goes over pretty well for me.

00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:03.359
Dude, the thing I like the most about you is I think you're so confident and more adventurous, I guess.

00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:04.160
More brave.

00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:04.559
Yeah.

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:09.119
And I think you're thinking so many songs ahead, you're like, okay, if it flops, I can get out of it.

00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:09.599
I can get out.

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.319
I'm out.

00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.480
I'm out before they even realize they don't like it.

00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:12.720
Right.

00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:17.519
Where I get stuck, if I have to say there's a problem sometimes, is if they like it too much.

00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:18.559
I didn't realize it.

00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:18.799
Yeah.

00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:21.920
And I'm playing a shorter edit, and I'm like, right, I can't loop this.

00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:22.400
Bro.

00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:28.640
I've had people want to fight me for cutting the rap off of Baby by Justin Bieber and cutting the rap off the Spice Girls Wanna Be.

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.680
Want to fight me.

00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:30.079
Wow.

00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:31.359
Yeah, those are two tough ones.

00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:33.440
I was like, Jesus Christ.

00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:35.200
Are they that good of a verse?

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:38.240
They just know the rap and they want to do the do the bar.

00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:38.640
Yeah.

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:47.839
So if you're in the back room or the booth crew, you can grab this list, and then if you're in the back room, you actually get some wink wink bonus content.

00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:49.759
Yeah, winky, wink, wink.

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:53.039
Um we got one question and we can end this cowboy.

00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:53.759
Let's do it.

00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:55.759
Question of the day.

00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:01.359
This is came in through our fan mail.

00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:01.839
What?

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.880
I don't really know why this came question came up, but did something happen?

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:05.440
I don't know.

00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:09.200
So the question is if you're not watching this, is S Start still a thing?

00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:10.319
Well, of course it is.

00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:11.200

They didn't even sign their name.

00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:20.079
I don't know who put this in.

00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:21.519
It just says fan mail.

00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.039
