Grab your sombreros and questionable life choices—this is a LIVE Cinco de Mayo episode of Beyond The DJ Booth, where Joe Bunn and Brian B. celebrate the only Latin holiday they truly connect with… because, well, they both really love Mexican food.
Broadcast straight from a virtual live audience session, the heat gets turned up—literally—as Brian takes on a hot sauce challenge that may or may not require medical intervention. Meanwhile, the duo dives into the hilariously honest reality of DJing Latin music as two white guys with more salsa in their fridge than rhythm in their hips.
They break down some go-to Latin tracks that cross over with any crowd—from Marc Anthony’s “Vivir Mi Vida” to the classic floor-filler “Suavemente”—with a healthy dose of humility and humor. Spoiler: there’s also a Latin-style cover of The Cranberries’ “Linger” that weirdly slaps.
But it’s not just tunes and tears—during the live Q&A portion, they field real-time questions about ceremony setups, tech upgrades, and dealing with rogue officiants. Brian recalls hauling car batteries to beach weddings pre-Bose era, and Jon reveals how they now capture content while juggling unpredictable weather and overly involved photographers.
The episode takes an unexpectedly moving turn as they share some of their most emotional moments DJing, including events for special needs communities that reminded them why they do what they do in the first place.
So whether you’re here for the tech tips, the spicy takes, or just to laugh at two guys dancing around cultural landmines with good intentions and bad hips, this episode has it all.
Hit play. You’ll never look at Cinco de Mayo (or Suavemente) the same again.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Do you even know what Cinco de Mayo stands for?
I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I think it's an American made.
Well, definitely, americanscelebrate it more than our
Mexican brethren.
Okay, go on.
So I looked it up and Cinco deMayo commemorates the Battle of
the Puebla, which took place onMay 5th 1862, where, apparently,
the Mexican army defeated theFrench forces of Napoleon.
It's not Mexican IndependenceDay, that's September 16th.
(02:07):
Okay, because that's what a lotof people think it is Right.
In the US, cinco de Mayo ismore widely celebrated than in
Mexico, particularly amongMexican-American communities, as
a celebration of heritage,pride and culture.
You just take everything, man.
Well, there we go, jesus,that's what it is.
Yeah, have you.
Well, there we go, jesus,that's what it is.
Yeah, have you ever playedsaint glendomile like a party

Mark t is playing somewhere atthat gringo place downtown okay
go, go by the long leaf, swanthe barbecue yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah so does he have to doa whole latin?
I don't think so.
Man mark t, he can play latin,but I don't think he's gonna do
the whole thing okay, are we?
Gonna leave these costumes onthe whole time?
And are these races?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
secondly, I don't know he said I don't know.
I'm pointing this all on,richie, this is all Richie.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
This is all Richie Stedman's idea.
He lives in Utah.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
It's about the whitest place you can be, oh
geez.
Anyway, I used to play the bara lot and a couple of years
Cinco de Mayo would fall on aday that we'd have, and in
Southern California Cinco deMayo is massive.
It just goes off, sure.
So you can take that off, goahead.
That is a mini, though I'm kindof just going to stay in
costume.
(03:16):
Yeah, go ahead, Go ahead, broAnyway so we would have all
these contests, like just to dodifferent things.
One of them was a hot sauceeating contest.
How many times could you take alittle swig of hot sauce?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
zero man are you?
I'm not good at spicy, like hot, like low tolerance for heat,
and really ethnic food ingeneral.
Now let me say I love mexicanfood.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I could eat mexican food every day I could do it
every day, but like when youslide into, like india, korea,
thailand, you lose me.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
You know what they say about um mexican food what's
that?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
it's the happiest type of food what you mean like
it hits your, your brain likethe dopamine.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
yeah, yeah, it gives you the most happiness.
Okay, study on that.
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we talked free.
Show that your tolerance is low.
I'm going to take the fall forus today.
Really, yeah, what are youdoing?
So how many of these Goya hotsauce looks like this.

Okay, how many?
What now?
How many little dabs of this doyou think I can do?
I won't do them allcontinuously.
Speaker 1 (04:26):

Speaker 2 (04:27):
But do you think I can do five?
Do you think I can do 10?
Do you think I can do 11?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Throughout the broadcast, throughout the
broadcast.
Speaker 2 (04:32):

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I think you can hit a dozen.
Speaker 2 (04:35):

This is pretty.
I mean, I'm already feeling theheat.
It's not even out of the.
Let me see, let me.
Oh, there we go, there we go.
Hit it one time.
Oh yeah, spicy, yeah, yeah.
I think it's probably betterthat you do them all at one time
, yeah, rather than spread themout.
But I'll spread them out foryou.
I think this could get Okay,let's go sideways.
(05:14):
It could get frisky.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
That's a great call dude.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So you're the music king by the way, you don't do a
ton of Latin shows.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm going to go this far Ready.
I'm going to just say this inpublic Worst Latin DJ ever, wow,
yeah you.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You're there, you can't get out.
I'm gonna do the gringo thing.
What is?
What's the first song you'replaying?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
vivir mi vida oh, that was one of my go-tos.
And then I feel like I would.
I would go, uh, for merengue,I'd go suavemente, and they
would be like this freakingcracker yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So I had one this weekend that had a little latin
influence.
Okay, yeah, wouldn't say it's.
They were mexican, necessarily,but they were from the
Dominican Republic or somethinglike that.
Not nearly the same, but go on.
But salsa was the move, soviver y vida.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Rob Ferreira just said who's your new co-host.
What's that?
Rob Ferreira just goes.
Who's the new co-host?
That's Brayon Berenicisi.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
All right, go ahead.
So the Marc Anthony track yeah,Do you play it at all, or only
when you have a Latin crowd?
Have you ever dropped it to all?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
No, no, somebody would have to say play salsa,
and then that's my go-to gringo.
Pull Okay, vivi or Mi Vida.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So if people haven't heard it, we actually have a
sample of it coming through theboard and it's not blasting Come
on up a little bit.
Can you guys hear that?
I love it when it finally kicksin.
It's just like got that fullsalsa beat, but this is just a
go.
Can you guys hear that on thestream Right there?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yo, Nate Acosta's on here.
He's going to be mad at us bro.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, totally, this is about as cultural
misappropriation is what this iscalled.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So you said your second song was what Shout out
to my Mexican friends, thoughfor real, Nadek Kosta's Mexican,
I think.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yo, what's your second song?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Oh, suavemente, suavemente yeah yeah, yeah, okay
, all right.
I mean people are going toreach out and be like yo, I got
you this, that and the other.
But it's not just about thatman.
It's not about like, listen,don't get me wrong.
Right, if I had a couple andthey said we want Spanish music
all night, I'm not taking thegig.
If we have a couple and let'ssay the girl is from whatever
(08:17):
Dominican Republic, puerto Rico,puerto Rico and then we got the
groom and he's from Chapel Hill, north Carolina, Right, I like
this yeah.
But I'm going to say I need youto work with me on the Spanish
music, on the Latin music.
Please give me this stuff, yeah.
And then I'm going to listen toit, I'm going to track it,
figure out where the ins andouts are, what the tempo is, how
I can mix it with freakingblack eyed peas or whatever.
(08:38):
And again, it wouldn't matterif it was Latin, egyptian,
middle Eastern, indian, whateverit is.
I want the songs from them thatI know are going to go over.
I don't want it to be sayinglike you know, stick your finger
in my butt in Spanish, I don'tknow what they're saying, right?
So, like it's not your culture.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's not my culture.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's not my music.
And then I've also mixed out ofsongs too early and gotten just
like just death stares, yeah,because they had these big
endings.
You know what I'm saying.
And then it's like and, andthen I shit the bed and mixed
out of it before that big endingwhere you like, dip your girl
yeah, because they know how todance like right.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
We're just sitting there flailing around like the
white people we are, but thespanish people, man, they get
down anyway well, I was gonnaplay another track, because
here's another one that is ago-to for me if I got some latin
crowd.
This is this mix.
I think this was done byscooter.
Do you have this one?
This is the donza, which islike probably the most gringo
sure version of a latin trackright now are you playing?
(09:38):
That one at all.
Donza cadura, yeah, you playokay, but have you heard it with
the pepas?
No, sir, I think this is ascooter blend.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I could be wrong, okay.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
But this one goes over.
So it's got Donza first over ahand clap and then goes into the
Pepas over a hand clap and then, with the Donza beat, always
goes over.
It doesn't matter if they'reLatin or not.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
But then you can knock out two Latin songs.
Yeah, they're here in the chat.
Yeah, they're good.
See over the Donza.
So if you don't have like amassive Latin crowd but you just
want to give it, a little bitof a flavor that knocks out two
bangers right in a row.
That's good.
Send me that, all right.
Third song, to your point.
(10:23):
What was it?
The Elvis Cr crispo track?
Yeah, yeah, suavemente,suavemente.
So this is like the updatedversion with bailar.
Okay, and this is dioro, sodioro.
This is the jd live melbournebootleg edit.
You got to play this one if youwant to play it to a more
modern crowd so go for it.
That's that merengue vibe.
Now it goes harder here in asecond.
(10:50):
Okay, we're in the flavor of itright now oh.
Yes, total siren.
Now we're in it, this goes offoh.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Massive.
Always good for me.
Damn.
This is like the gringo go-toLatin list.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Right, you're not claiming to be like a gringo.
No, no, no, no, you don't knowwhat you're doing.
No, I mean, you know these gooff, I can get through it.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Right right, right right.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
So over the last couple of years I feel like
Lechona has been the moveAbsolutely.
Are you playing that one at all?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yes, we had a conversation about this.
In fact, when I posted thegraphic for this, I picked
Lechona as the graphicbackground.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Before DJC, I never really heard of it.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I mean, this thing came them, but not really so
this is more.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
what would you classify this styling?
Why are you?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
asking the whitest dude in the room Nate Acosta
knows, nate, what is La Chona.
If he's still watching, he'llanswer Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I feel like it's like the guys that play the mariachi
vibe Mariachi it could be.
For those that don't know thetrack here, it is Okay.
Oh yeah, A little that bassline oh always goes over.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Oh shit, he said it's called Quebradita.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
This is the style, okay.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Dominic said he's offended by your outfit.
Yeah, they got that big fatguitar, that's like yeah.
And those outfits.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Man we should have gotten those.
Totally Should have broughtthose guys in.
Oh shit, next year, next year.
So this is going to be sooffensive in a good way.
You ready?
Yes, in my coaching group weonce a month do music share and
we have a guy from houston andthere's a big latin population
there so he said hey, man, ifyou ever get somebody who wants

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to have to All right.
Hi, Kevin, Just joined late.
He's like what the hell ishappening here.
Yeah this is heavy, this kid'sshooting salsa.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I'm doing this for the pod man.
This is for the pod.
It is for the pod.
My breath is just it's got tobe T major out of San Diego.
This is a great question.
I hired a personal contentvideographer to shoot clips of
me DJing at weddings.
It's been great for my IG andbranding.
At a recent event my guy showedup like always when dancing
(17:52):
started.
The hired photo video teamflipped out, saying their
contract didn't allow any othershooters.
I explained he was just gettingDJ focused content and not
stepping on toes.
But the lead videographer gotaggressive.
My guy bailed to avoid conflict.
I followed up respectfullyafter the event and she kept
pointing us to the contract.
I told her it's unrealistic toexpect vendors not to create any
(18:12):
content these days.
We parted ways professionallybut I left with zero footage.
What would you have done?
Should I have pushed harder orjust chalked it up as one of
those situations, this thing, ifyou?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
throw up or shit yourself.
I'm gonna be furious.
I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I'm not even playing right now oh man, I mean, you
have saquon but saquon is outthere shooting dude.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Not only do I have saquon, who's my assistant, who
is shooting, running the lights,taking requests and all the
things right, I've definitelybrought in outsiders with dslr
cameras not these pocket osmothrees or whatever and been out
there with big-ass camerasshooting footage.
For me Now, two things.
One, I definitely told thecouple hey, I'm going to have
(18:51):
this guy with me.
You know he's got a black pants, black polo.
You know he'll stay out of theway of your main video and photo
guy.
Is that okay?
So I did get approval,especially when I was bringing
in an outsider Pre-gig, pre-gig.
But I did not reach out to thephoto and video people Listening
to this story.
Maybe I should have.
But also, it sounds like thesepeople are just dicks, like this
(19:13):
footage is for the DJ.
You know, as a video and photopeople, you're damn well not
going to give this stuff to theDJ, or by the time you give it
to him, it's Christmas, yeah.
And stuff to the DJ, or by thetime you give it to him, it's
Christmas.
Yeah, you know, may, right nowI don't know, man.
I mean, would I have just letit go that night, absolutely,
because what am I going to do?
Go out there and start yellingat somebody at a wedding Like it
ain't worth it.
Send your guy home.
(19:34):
Don't put him in a bad position.
There's no need to, you know,start a fight or cause it
exactly like he did afterwards.
And you try not to burn thebridge.
But I just think that thosepeople that were were, you know,
harassing his guy are justassholes.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
that's crazy well, and the other part that was
weird to me in this was that hisguy just left.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
It seems odd to me like that whole situation, like
that relationship seemed well,not really man, I mean, if you
if it sounds like he works withthis person a lot right, and the
guy shows up and he's gettingharassed by these other yeah,
this other media team, and youwouldn't want him to be there
and feel uncomfortable and shit,do you have to pay him maybe?
I mean, maybe not his full rate.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I'd be like hey man, I'm gonna send you 100 bucks on
them for wasting your timedriving out here, but like
you're not gonna get any contentyeah, it sounds like I think
the key is communicationcommunication always before the
event always showing up andhaving that happen so.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So you think he should have gotten approval from
the couple and the media team.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I mean the media team isn't really.
I mean, I would have brought itup to the couple hey, do you
have in your contract with thevideo people that they can be
the only one shooting this event, even though this is just DJ
footage which is fall mine?
Do I need to have aconversation with them?
That kind of thing?
I'll tell you, I don't hirecontent people for me.
I always pay the videographerin cash.
Day of if I know there's avideographer there to get
footage for me, specifically, Ihand it to them.
(20:50):
Day of Cash, cash money, fivehundo I have on hand and you're
leaving that day with content.
Well, I mean, I'm getting itlike within a relatively short
time, because they're alreadythere, they're shooting it, they
already have all the lighting,they have all the stuff.
You're just, you're not even,you're not even asking, you're
just just voluntarily givingthem five.
(21:11):
No, no, I go up to the guy, gohey, listen, you're here.
I would love to see if you'd beavailable to shoot some stuff
for me, specifically like withinthe framework of the event I'm
not saying you gotta be here,like getting me doing all the
stuff.
But just you're shooting itanyways.
Yeah, can I give you some cash?
I have.
I mean, I can also ven too, butusually cash works better.
They're like yeah, I said Ihave three 400 bucks, 500 bucks.
Whatever the case may be, I'lllook at the situation and see
like how nice of a venue it is.
If I know the videographer, Ikind of know where I need to be.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And then I'll offer it within the day.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I have footage of me raw, raw, ready to go, and then
usually they'll follow up withsomething else there to shoot,
necessarily for me, as long asyou have the footage and you can
post whenever you want, sure,that's the key.
Yeah, trickle it out, yeah,great call mark beecher.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
What happens when you have an outside ceremony and it
can rain any minute?
Do you call for things to moveto plan b?
This is a great question,happens to be all.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
We just had to deal with this we did.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
We were just talking about this and saquon and I.
You know, saquon came on boardwith me right after the pandemic
2021.
So he didn't see some of theearlier shows, right.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
My old ceremony rig was pretty involved.
It was a fast set table, apop-up table.
I had a rack.
Wow, the rack went to a speaker.
The speaker had to plug intothe rack.
The rack had to be plugged intopower, right.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Or a whisper quiet or whatever.
This was like pre-batterypowered everything, and so you
know we would have theseplanners go hold, you know, hold
on, don't set up.
Yet.
You know we're trying to decideif this is going to be inside
or outside.
Chairs or everything are set up.
You know we're just waiting onthe storm.
Is it coming or not?
Right, looking at the radar.
Looking at the radar and she'slike we're gonna, you know, make
a call five minutes before theceremony and I'm like no, you're
(22:40):
not.
Yeah, back then I mean it wouldtake me 15, 20 minutes set the
shit up and I would be like Ican hustle and it's still going
to take me 15, 20 minutes.
Sure, now I can literally pickthe whole battery powered rig up
yeah, mic, everything and justmove it.
But to answer your questionmark, I think you do have to
kind of hold to the last minute.
That's why I love this batterypowered stuff.
I literally have everythingclamped to one tripod, right?
(23:02):
I can pick the entire thing upand walk it to the other
position, right?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Anyway, what's your thoughts on that, Dude?
I was an early battery-poweredadopter, before the speakers
ever had them capable of that.
Yeah, this is going back tolet's see when would it have
been 2006.
?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I mean we're on the beach, we're on the beach all
the time and they didn't haveanything at that time.
They didn't have a batterypowered speaker.
So you know how we made it work.
This is and I didn't want tobring it down a generator
because those things weremassive.
No, yeah, this was pre-jackerytoo.
So I had the car battery.
Bro stop, I'm dead serious.
I brought a car battery.
I had the converter with thepower plug-in.
That's ac, I mean that's dc itworked and that was how we did.
(23:40):
It was heavy as all get out,bringing it down to the Not like
the one from your actual car,not mine from my own.
No, I went to the to the, but Iwent to the auto store place to
get one.
Yeah, and we used to bring thatdown.
That used to be my go-to backin the day, cause we needed a
battery on the beach.
I needed it to be quiet.
The beach is like, even thoughwe're at right, it's just flat
(24:12):
right.
So you have to bring thisbattery right, so then that's
old school.
The first battery speaker that Iremember seeing was done by um.
Who was it?
Roland, yeah, and we still usethose to this day because
they're just workhorses.
Yeah, and the batteries theother reason why I like it,
because we actually we switchedto I think it was a swap out
battery in there, wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
well, it used to be at least your throat, okay,
because you keep.
Yeah, you're burning, you burntyour esophagus, this thing is
killing me bro, he burned hisesophagus.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Guys, I don't think I'm gonna make 10, no, I think.
I think I'm gonna throw in thetowel wow, intense.
Wow, he burnt the esophagusguys anyway they used to make
them for now.
They're marketed at walmart atthis point for like uh tailgates
.
They're like an elisa speakersthat is who makes them yeah, the
problem is you plug them intothe wall and just power them
here and then you take them outto the beach.
(24:51):
The problem is I was runninginto them where they would just
go bad, like they'd say 100.
I get out there there's a 20left, jesus, and I'm like am I
even gonna make it through thisceremony, right?
So I got rid of that.
Spent 800, $800 to get thisRoland one that takes actually
double A batteries.
Huh, double A's, and I swear byit Still To this day.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Damn, so take it out there.
You already know what I'm goingto say E versus A.
Well, these just came out right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Right, I got you, but these things have been
workhorses.
They sound great.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
They last like 12 hours.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
There's even a mode on two, not on two batteries,
it's six.
Okay, I'm about to say thereain't no damn way, but I will
tell you that there is actuallya button on the speaker itself
that says max mode or eco mode.
So if you see you're gettingclose on the battery, you put it
on eco mode and it brings thewhole power down a bit.
Yeah, so that that way you canat least get through the
ceremony you had to right.
But on the back it's got sevenor eight channels, it's got an,
(25:45):
so literally I could take thewhole thing and move it yeah in
one right and in florida it canrain in a second that's how I am
, mark.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Mark, I would try and get your gear down.
I I would.
I would obey the wishes of theplanner.
I would obey the wishes of thecouple.
Everybody wants to get marriedoutside man, and for you to try
and be the person that makes thecall on whether it's inside or
outside, I would not want to bethat person.
I don't think you're going toget a lot of referrals from
doing that.
I would just let the planner bethe go-between between you and
the couple and I would try anddo what they ask.
(26:15):
And if you do have more gearthan what we're talking about, I
would say, look, we're notgoing to wait until five till
six to make this call.
I'm going to need, you know, 10, 15 minutes, whatever you need,
and then if they have to delayit, they have to delay it.
You know what I mean.
If they want audio and you needto, you know, move your stuff,
like he was saying in the in thechat, a hundred yards.
Then they're going to need togive you some time for so what's
(26:40):
your?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
is your mic battery powered now?
Everything is so what's yourmic?
What?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
mic.
Are you using Sennheiser EWDXand it has two mics in one unit.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
And it's.
Is it a lapel or handheld?
One of each, One of each or twoof each?
It doesn't matter.
So for our people, they tend towant to have a lapel because
they're holding a script orwhatever.
So my thing was, I went to thebest videographer I knew and
said hey, listen, since you guyshave to do battery powered
stuff, what do you suggest?
And they gave me I believe it'san Audio Technica System 10 is
(27:14):
the name of it.
Battery powered.
Been using it for years, neverhave a problem, no cutouts,
nothing.
So everything is batterypowered.
If I need a handheld, rolandmakes one with that speaker
Right so I can pull it out.
If I've been using that, Ihaven't because no one's needed
it, but there are times whensomeone's reading a poem a
scripture.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You don't have a reader usually not.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, these things are short, they're 15 minutes.
They're outside, it's hot noone wants to be out there for
longer than 20 minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, ours are pretty short too, I mean, and there's
a lot of like my best friends,the efficient and he got his
thing at the life church so he'snot going to go into some
sermon, yeah or a story, theytell the whole story back.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Nobody does that out here in the east.
Northeast they do that a lotreally like a long ceremony long
ceremony.
They're telling the wholedating story, how they got
engaged.
That whole thing comes up inthe ceremony script.
I will say this too I thinkpeople overthink it, overthink
the ceremony.
They're bringing all theseamplifiers and I'm guys like the
mics have gotten so much better.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I'm going to simplify it right.
Mike Walter, who does moreweddings than probably anybody
we know Personally, he's in thehundreds.
He's in the hundreds.
I think he scaled back the lasttwo years Okay well, he's 2021,
22, 23.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yes, he was doing 100 plus yes Himself.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah, Thousands of weddings done yearly at Elite
Entertainment in New Jersey.
Old boy's got a QSC K12.
The shit's probably at least 10to 12 years old and a wired
white mic.
On a white mic stand sittingbetween the three people.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Wired and he's just standing behind the speaker, you
know, at the back of the room,wired.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Wired handheld.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
A wired handheld, okay, that's different and I'm
like bro, does anybody give ashit that it's in the pictures
and stuff?
He's like I don't care, Likethis is what I'm using, Wow.
He's like he tells them like,if you want people to hear, this
is what I'm using, Right, andI'm telling, if you look at his
Instagram, that's like everypost he makes, it's like my view
of a CK-12 with a wired mic.
(29:02):
So some people are way overthinking.
Dude, at one point I had, likeI said, a table amp rack.
I had those goddamn paddle finantennas, like you see, on the
sidelines for an NFL game, forthe mic on the referee to chat
back to the damn PA for the80,000 people.
Like I was way overkill.
Have you gone to the road?
(29:22):
I'm not going to the road.
I'm not going to mics that arecontent creation mics.
Have you tried it?
No, don't need to.
Ain't got no antennas.
If you don't have removableantennas, you ain't.
You're no, you're no friend ofJoe.
Nah are you are you.
I have used it in a pinchPeople in the they're, they're
using that.
That ain't it.
Yeah, it ain't what they're for.
(29:43):
Sorry, thank you, yeah, thankyou.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Thanks for shopping what else we got?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
nathan jones.
I had a wedding.
Nathan jones shout out and theofficiant showed up with a bob
barker god dang.
A bob barker type mic that hewanted to use sounded like
garbage but he insisted on usingit.
Do you let people use their ownequipment to plug in musician,
Musician?
I think he's saying either orLike for example, there's an
officiant here that has acountryman you know what a
(30:11):
countryman?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
is yeah, yeah, yeah, britney Spears special.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
And hers actually is nice.
She has a good one, but shewill not use anything else.
Wow, we plug her into oursystem.
But you know her, you've workedwith her A thousand times.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But if this is Rando Rando, a random, with like a Bob
Barker mic or like a BritneySpears, bobby Brown special.
Bobby Brown special.
I mean if they're insistent,you mean a Garth Brooks special,
yeah, a.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Garth man, if they're insistent upon it, I mean, I'm
a yes man dude.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I usually like Detroit.
Is it just just me?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I'm burning up, you've got a poncho on and we
got the air off.
Now we've been shooting so long.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
It's 81 outside, jeez you have a hat on a stash.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I'm gonna burn some cows, you've been eating damn
salsa for two hours.
It's all good.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Anyway, I'm gonna try and make it work yeah, I'll try
but even if it sounds like dogshit, you know if it sounds like
dog doo-doo?
No, I would tell them listen,we tried it.
Yeah, it's cutting out.
It's not gonna make either oneof us look.
Good, try to paint it so thatyou both win there you go.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I've been doing this, this one's going to work.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I know for a fact I'm the same way Right.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I'm going to try it, listen to it sound, check it
Right and, to be completelyhonest with you, if they were
insistent I'm still going tohold it you know what I would
and then let him hold the BobbyBrown and I'm going to run him
through the lapel Right.
I mean not the Bobby Brown, theBob Barker Is he alive.
Still Did he pass.
(31:28):
I think Bob passed.
Can you look that up?

content creation mics called theprofile wireless dude.
Go watch that video.
They're incredible.
(32:30):
Oh, and brian's bringing aroundsome gear corner stuff right now
, by the way yes, sir and soanyway, yes, I'm super excited
about these new content creationmics called the profile
wireless.
He was asking if any gearyou're excited about trying out
this year.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
No, I don't think so.
I mean, I tried the 90s.
Those are good you did,although you did you use mine
yeah 90s are great.
They're a lot like just play tothe right room, yeah for the
right room.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
They're.
They're perfect for that that'sabout it.
I'm not changing controllers oranything like that.
Show us what you got, mr gearcorner guy.
Well, this, see, this is wherewe need that gear.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, we need a little stinger there this came
in handy this weekend, so Ineeded some wireless remotes.
I do not have the e-verse 8s,so I have to use it with just
normal speakers and I.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
They wouldn't have worked anyways.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I'm sorry so usually I use the sennheiser lapel packs
, yeah, to run a speakerwirelessly, yeah.
Yeah, I had two events back toback.
Are those the lawn guys?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
out there.
Yeah, yeah, are you hearingthat through the headphones?
Okay somebody's out thereblowing leaves, sorry guys so,
anyway, I ran out of batteries.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I couldn't believe it .
I didn't have any extrabatteries, I had enough to get
me through, but I was likeworried that I was gonna need to
switch them out.
So, no, double a.
I didn't have any extra on me.
You got all this shit everyweek and you and I just I.
I had two boxes and they were,I guess, next to.
I don't usually fill them in, Ihave my roadie do it, bro, real
quick.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
So Me and Saquon showed up at the gig last week.
No freaking gaff tape.
The planner that I'd loaned itto at the previous wedding stole
that shit.
Wow, $30, three inch black progaff.
So what'd you do?
We just spit on it, okay?
No, we were on a stage, luckily, so there was no foot traffic
Right.
That's where these come inhandy, okay.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
These are Sennheiser as well.
Yeah, these have to be close by.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I have a love-hate relationship with these.
They got to be close by.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
That's the key they do, but in a pinch they're USB-C
, I know no interference.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
What are they called?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
I was just gonna pull that up.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I think it's dildo dongle it's called um?
I don't think it's called dildodongle, never mind, sorry,
that's wrong.
Different, different productyeah, different product.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
This is the sennheiser xswd wireless digital
xlr base set is what it'scalled.
What do they go for?
Oh, because you can get this onamazon.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, let me hold them up, you can't get them on
yeah, uh, I think these are like199 for the pair, 319, that's a
little pricey, too much, but tohave it as a backup right back
up big, but you better be closeall right, one more.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Okay, bob hickman, jesus dropped it.
This is a content light.
Okay, it's also magnetic, soyou can stack multiple ones on
top of one another.
Okay, I think I saw justin thedj post one where he clips onto
his laptop.
I didn't want it clipped ontomy laptop, so this goes on the
dj table facing up, yeah, kindof tilted towards your face.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Wash your face, yes, and you can crank it.
And he's got different yesaperture, all of that.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
I forgot what they call it, the diffuser.
I'm curious what you think thisis going to go for I know this
company.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
They just, actually this company reached out to me,
did they, and sent me some stuffto shoot knee were knee were
yeah, this thing's um I thinkit's 1999 on the nose no 1919 I
was 80 cents off.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
It's a deal right now , literally today.
So 19 bucks.
But can you for a light?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
no, 19 bucks.
Yeah, usbc charge it.
Change the aperture or not.
The aperture, the brightnesschange the aperture, the
brightness change thetemperature Right.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
This is pretty cool and you can stack multiple ones
on top of one another.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, they reached out to me.
They sent me a little thingfrom Pocket Osmo 3.
That's amazing.
So, yeah, I just got it.
English wasn't great.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Shout out Bob Hickman , who I think actually got that
from Bird.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
So yeah, hi Kevin, we're drinking Coronas.
I mean as well Light.
I'm trying to stay on the nosugar, no starch plan.
I'm just kind of sipping on itevery year, allegedly, allegedly
.
It's been going fine Day five.
Pray for me If you've evertried to quit sugar like cold.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Turkey, please.
Best DJ in Utah?
Just gave us a little questionup there.
This dude's good man, he justcomes up with a good stuff.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
He's good man.
He just comes with the goodstuff.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
He's good this, this kid's good.
Is there anything,professionally or personal, you
have left to do you?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
go personal.
I'll start personal, personalrun a marathon.
You've done that.
Absolutely not.
Don't want to personal.
I need to see, like one of myfavorite bands at red rocks I
got I would put this on the.
I still have things on mybucket list much, much, much
more traveling, especially afterthat Iceland and Paris success
this year.
I want to see my sons grow old.
I want to see my sons besuccessful, fall in love, get
married.
I'd love to be a grandparent.
(37:05):
Wow, I think that would be thecoolest thing, because it's a
returnable child, that's true,but then you've officially like
crossed over at that point.
Really you can't.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Granddad, you're going to go with a name.
You're going to go Pappy.
Nah, you're going to go Papa.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Nah, granddaddy, granddad, something like that.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Wow, that's what my kids call my dad.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Think about how cool my dad was.
He wasn't like an old-assgranddad.
That's true.
He was bun.
Gear, especially now that it isan American-based company, can
be a really big thing.
I think I can be much moreinnovative here.
I'm getting ready to come outwith a booth under $1,000.
No more clothes.
(37:42):
No more clothes, no more pocketsquares no more pocket squares,
no more bad ideas.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
You're going straight gear, straight gear.
It seems like you have been inthe furniture space.
Are you going outside of thatand doing other?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
No, I have been in the furniture space.
Are you going outside of thatand doing other.
no, I don't want to get intoanything electronic.
I think there's a big you knowclearly a return problem with
stuff like that.
Yeah, I want to make thingsthat people can use, that
they're proud of, that makesthem look better.
I have, you know, 10 ideas inthe cube for people that own
command centers, accessories forthat.
I mean, there's almost athousand command centers around
the world, mostly in the UnitedStates.
(38:15):
Okay, I'm going to make abudget more of a pop-up type
booth Shout out, drew Pierce,shout out, drew Pierce.
I'm going to make a bunch ofstuff, man, and it's all made in
the United States, in fact,made in North Carolina, shipped
out of North Carolina, and I'msuper proud.
What's your goal?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
quarter one a quarter .
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, the overseas thing was very difficult, man,
as you can imagine, to get itback six months later and it's
not, and it's wrong.
Take six months to get the nextone is wrong, like that's why I
haven't put the gig desk out.
I showed it in august and I,you know, had all these flaws
and I showed it anyway and westill haven't made it because it
wasn't right.
Right and I'm just not puttingout like bullshit product.
(38:51):
I will never do that.
I don't put up bullshit DJshows.
I'm not putting out bullshitgear Ever.
What about?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
playing a show.
Any professional milestones no.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I would love to play before I get truly old old.
I would love to play one reallybig show and I feel like I've
exhausted my contacts atTicketmaster.
I'm sorry, at Live.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Nation I.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
I just want to open, for I don't care.
I don't care if it's SabrinaCarpenter or Sam Hunt, and I
want to play 30 minutes on a bigstage in front of 20,000 at an
entertainment theater.
Like I want to play one reallybig show.
I want to shoot it well.
I want to feel what thatfeeling is of like what does a
rock star feel at the end of ashow?
Plan it well, play it perfectlyand just get that love.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
But that's a different kind of show because
you're not getting people toreally dance, necessarily no but
you.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
But if you, if they put you on at the right time,
you can not it.
You know, when the sun is stillblazing and people are showing
in the stadium you know you'renot.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
You're sitting in box seats, bro, you went.
I mean maybe like show did,yeah, pipes fucking killed that
yeah he did.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
He destroyed that place and he played it perfectly
.
He played don perfectly.
He played Don't Stop Believingand things that me and you play
all the time.
But there were people therefrom 8 to 70.
You know what I mean.
He's still on tour with Justin.
He's obviously doing a good job.
He's been all over the worldwith him.
He hit me up the other dayabout a backpack.
He goes do you know anybody atJetpack?
I go yeah, I know plenty ofpeople and I go.
Here's the guy's number.
(40:11):
So make sure you tell him whoyou are and like, like what
you're doing.
Cause he wanted a rush a rushorder because he's going back
out.
Yeah, I don't want to go ontour.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I don't want to leave town.
I want to play one big showbefore I'm dead.
How about you, man?
I don't know from a playingperspective of a tour, but I
would love to go to Asia and doan.
Asia tour Philippines, vietnam.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
China, hong Kong all those spots.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I have been to Tokyo but I've never played in Tokyo.
I just love the culture, I lovethe food, I love everything
about it and I've never been oneto go after that.
I feel like from a privateevent DJ standpoint I don't know
anybody who has Clubs, noproblem.
But from a private eventstandpoint, I haven't seen
anybody pull the Asia card andthat's on my list.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Yeah, vice definitely goes over there a lot, but it's
clubs and stuff, right?
Speaker 2 (41:04):
And even for corporates.
I don't see a lot of corporatespulling people in to go to Asia
, europe all the time Yep,caribbean, no problem, but going
to Asia, I haven't seen time.
Yep, caribbean, no problem, butgoing to Asia, I haven't seen
that Yep.
And then, personally, gosh,that's a great question.
I think similar to you man,like I've traveled a lot, yeah,
but I think I want to see itthrough the lens of the kiddo.
As a kid, my world was reallysmall.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Mine too Mine too.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Southern California is where I lived, but we went to
Vegas and that was pretty muchit.
You know what I mean.
Like we never.
First time I went to Miami iswhen I was working for Pioneer
and I was like, oh my gosh, thisis incredible, and I just was
like obsessed with going to asmany places in the US as I could
.
So I definitely want to give mykid that experience of that,
because I did a terrible job.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
I think that's a great call.
My parents did not travelPassports because we went to the
Bahamas one time and we went toMexico one time.
Yeah, my mom's never been toEurope.
I begged her.
I said, let's just me and yougo, like I'll plan the whole
thing.
I have no desire to go.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah, she don't want to go.
Well, it's at that age, walkingaround for a long time.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
My mom is mobile, though man and my dad was until
cancer.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Like he, you know 10 miles.
I mean it was mobile.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
I almost think it's in your family dna though, that
whole routine idea it is.
They're very routine.
Yeah, they were all they.
My mom still is even without mydad, it's.
It's unbelievable in the dnahow routine we are.
Do you ever get choked up onthe?
Uh, like father-daughter dance?
Speaker 2 (42:28):
I did this weekend.
Oh, I don't remember the song.
It was something I hadn't heardand it.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
Just it got me Really .
Yeah, actually it was a mother.
Do you think about when yourdaughter yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
I do, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to
hold it together.
No, you're not.
And actually this couple did a.
The one on Saturday did amother daughter dance, yeah, and
that was just as powerful.
I was like, yeah, it was justlike good.
And I was like, oh.
So yeah, those are tough, but Ithink it actually humanizes you
, right, like I don't know ofcourse it means you give a shit.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
I mean, I mean I don't want to be up there
weeping, but like I never gottold you like now the go-to song
seems to be joy of my life andthat was like my sister, my dad
loved that song, dude.
We played it for their firstdance last night or something
night I was like, oh God, I'mfully turned around.
Back to the audience.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Like there's a bug on the wall or something I don't
know man there's just.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
You know, randy has no kids and he's a crier during
the first dance for thefather-daughter dance sometimes.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
I don't remember ever getting to that point until I
had a kid.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
That makes a lot of sense, I've definitely heard
toast and felt that way.
I've definitely um done shows,felt that way.
Mitch did a show last weekendand I just saw the pictures and
I damn near got choked up.
Both of them had down syndrome,you know how functioning, but
like they, they got.
They found each other in thisgreat big world.
These two couples I mean thiscouple found each other.
I would have gotten choked up.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
I mean just I, I think those people are the
sweetest people.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Anyway, I always love to meet him, I always love to
talk to him, but like I saw thepic he told me about it and I
saw the picture I was like, bro,I, there's no way there was
like a dating show yeah, thatwas that oh interesting, like I
don't know like a dating show,just yeah, but it was all people
who had down syndrome yeah, andoh, I could.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
I'm like how can people watch this week to week?
Speaker 1 (44:13):
I'd be like a mess, I'd be a wreck.
I know there's a special placein heaven for those people.
Man, every conversation I'veever heard had with somebody
with down syndrome, no matterwhat degree of it, it was right
like I left being like maybethey got it figured.
You know, they got it figuredout like they, they've accepted
it, they're, they're working orwherever I need them,
restaurants, target, whateverit's like.
I wouldn't have made it to thatwedding, there's no way.
(44:34):
That's a tough one.
What's the most emotionalyou've ever got at an event?
I have one.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I know it.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
I remember it like it was yesterday, 15 years ago.
I remember it was our old, oldoffice, not this building, not
the last building, not the lastbuilding, but the first building
we were in.
It was on Atlantic Avenue, bythat Bojangles.
I was walking out 5 o'clock ona Friday.
I didn't have a gig Friday,phone rings.
This was back when everybodyhad like an office line Phone
rings and I was like man, damnit, pick it up and it's a lady.
(45:03):
She's in a panic, she's inHarnick County, which is I don't
know how far.
It is an hour's halloween orthe, you know let's call it two
or three days before we'resupposed to have a dance for all
these adults.
They were adults and the djjust bailed on me.
Oh, this is in at seven o'clock.
Let's say it's five now, andyeah and this is back when I had
(45:24):
three djs and I was just likewhat, like name one reason why I
shouldn't go do that?
And I think she was like I havea hundred dollars.
I was like, oh, I'll be there,I'll be there in one hour.
I mean, I just like literallyjust walked out, threw a few
things in the car and went anddid this show.
It wasn't kids, it was adultsand young adults, so let's say,
20 to 40 years old.
Their excitement level overthis party and me DJing and
(45:48):
playing these line dances andYMCA and all the other kind of
sing along and do the dancingDude, I literally played half
the show facing the wall, crying.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Like.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
I was like what if I had not come?
What if I had not done thisparty?
How messed up would this havebeen?
Speaker 2 (46:07):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Like how shitty would this party have been.
How upset would these kids havebeen that they didn't get to
have this and it dude it foreverchanged me man like I.
I think they try to pay me likeI don't need I'm good, like
hundred dollars ain't gonna makeor break me.
Put it towards the associationor whatever it's just mine was
this year actually really.
Yeah, that tim tebow oh, thetim tebow, because it was, uh,
(46:28):
basically all special needs kids.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
I think they'd never had a prom.
So these kids are coming up,and not just kids, they're
talking about people in their20s, 30s and even 40s who've
never had that.
And to have that adulation,people cheering them on as
they're being crowned UghTearjerker.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Shout out to Richie Stedman for suggesting this idea
.
Richie Stedman's like theunofficial producer of the
podcast and he was, like I'm, ata podcast convention which me
and you didn't go to.
We should have.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You didn't go to we should.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We're going to go, so we are going in August.
But he said, uh, the the hotnew thing is doing a live

Should we?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
cheers Sure man A little Corona.
Is this going to fit your diet?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I know we've been talking about exactly on the
program.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
But it's, it's, it's, it's a one timer, it's a Cheers
.
Yes sir, yes sir, yes, sir yessir.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Do you even know what Cinco de Mayo stands for?
I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I think it's an American made.
Well, definitely, americanscelebrate it more than our
Mexican brethren.
Okay, go on.
So I looked it up and Cinco deMayo commemorates the Battle of
the Puebla, which took place onMay 5th 1862, where, apparently,
the Mexican army defeated theFrench forces of Napoleon.
It's not Mexican IndependenceDay, that's September 16th.
(02:07):
Okay, because that's what a lotof people think it is Right.
In the US, cinco de Mayo ismore widely celebrated than in
Mexico, particularly amongMexican-American communities, as
a celebration of heritage,pride and culture.
You just take everything, man.
Well, there we go, jesus,that's what it is.
Yeah, have you.
Well, there we go, jesus,that's what it is.
Yeah, have you ever playedsaint glendomile like a party
for?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
not, but I'm going tonight.
Mark t is playing somewhere atthat gringo place downtown okay
go, go by the long leaf, swanthe barbecue yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah so does he have to doa whole latin?
I don't think so.
Man mark t, he can play latin,but I don't think he's gonna do
the whole thing okay, are we?
Gonna leave these costumes onthe whole time?
And are these races?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
secondly, I don't know he said I don't know.
I'm pointing this all on,richie, this is all Richie.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
This is all Richie Stedman's idea.
He lives in Utah.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
It's about the whitest place you can be, oh
geez.
Anyway, I used to play the bara lot and a couple of years
Cinco de Mayo would fall on aday that we'd have, and in
Southern California Cinco deMayo is massive.
It just goes off, sure.
So you can take that off, goahead.
That is a mini, though I'm kindof just going to stay in
costume.
(03:16):
Yeah, go ahead, Go ahead, broAnyway so we would have all
these contests, like just to dodifferent things.
One of them was a hot sauceeating contest.
How many times could you take alittle swig of hot sauce?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
zero man are you?
I'm not good at spicy, like hot, like low tolerance for heat,
and really ethnic food ingeneral.
Now let me say I love mexicanfood.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I could eat mexican food every day I could do it
every day, but like when youslide into, like india, korea,
thailand, you lose me.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
You know what they say about um mexican food what's
that?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
it's the happiest type of food what you mean like
it hits your, your brain likethe dopamine.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
yeah, yeah, it gives you the most happiness.
Okay, study on that.
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we talked free.
Show that your tolerance is low.
I'm going to take the fall forus today.
Really, yeah, what are youdoing?
So how many of these Goya hotsauce looks like this.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That's not that hot, though, right.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I don't know.
It's got Four chilies.
Okay, how many?
What now?
How many little dabs of this doyou think I can do?
I won't do them allcontinuously.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
But do you think I can do five?
Do you think I can do 10?
Do you think I can do 11?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Throughout the broadcast, throughout the
broadcast.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I think you can hit a dozen.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
A dozen.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, you're just going to like 10.
What?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
do you think Saquon?
Before you shit yourself.
It could be bad.
We'll go 10.
10?
All right, let's just do thefirst one and see what works.
I'll go 8.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
8?
.
He dropped it to 8.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
We'll drop it down.
This is pretty.
I mean, I'm already feeling theheat.
It's not even out of the.
Let me see, let me.
Oh, there we go, there we go.
Hit it one time.
Oh yeah, spicy, yeah, yeah.
I think it's probably betterthat you do them all at one time
, yeah, rather than spread themout.
But I'll spread them out foryou.
I think this could get Okay,let's go sideways.
(05:14):
It could get frisky.
Let's shout out some people.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Do it.
So I'm watching YouTube Shoutout.

We'll check this.
I feel like that's always ago-to for us.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
That's a great call dude.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So you're the music king by the way, you don't do a
ton of Latin shows.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm going to go this far Ready.
I'm going to just say this inpublic Worst Latin DJ ever, wow,
yeah you.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You're there, you can't get out.
I'm gonna do the gringo thing.
What is?
What's the first song you'replaying?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
vivir mi vida oh, that was one of my go-tos.
And then I feel like I would.
I would go, uh, for merengue,I'd go suavemente, and they
would be like this freakingcracker yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So I had one this weekend that had a little latin
influence.
Okay, yeah, wouldn't say it's.
They were mexican, necessarily,but they were from the
Dominican Republic or somethinglike that.
Not nearly the same, but go on.
But salsa was the move, soviver y vida.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Rob Ferreira just said who's your new co-host.
What's that?
Rob Ferreira just goes.
Who's the new co-host?
That's Brayon Berenicisi.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
All right, go ahead.
So the Marc Anthony track yeah,Do you play it at all, or only
when you have a Latin crowd?
Have you ever dropped it to all?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
No, no, somebody would have to say play salsa,
and then that's my go-to gringo.
Pull Okay, vivi or Mi Vida.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So if people haven't heard it, we actually have a
sample of it coming through theboard and it's not blasting Come
on up a little bit.
Can you guys hear that?
I love it when it finally kicksin.
It's just like got that fullsalsa beat, but this is just a
go.
Can you guys hear that on thestream Right there?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yo, Nate Acosta's on here.
He's going to be mad at us bro.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, totally, this is about as cultural
misappropriation is what this iscalled.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So you said your second song was what Shout out
to my Mexican friends, thoughfor real, Nadek Kosta's Mexican,
I think.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yo, what's your second song?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Oh, suavemente, suavemente yeah yeah, yeah, okay
, all right.
I mean people are going toreach out and be like yo, I got
you this, that and the other.
But it's not just about thatman.
It's not about like, listen,don't get me wrong.
Right, if I had a couple andthey said we want Spanish music
all night, I'm not taking thegig.
If we have a couple and let'ssay the girl is from whatever
(08:17):
Dominican Republic, puerto Rico,puerto Rico and then we got the
groom and he's from Chapel Hill, north Carolina, Right, I like
this yeah.
But I'm going to say I need youto work with me on the Spanish
music, on the Latin music.
Please give me this stuff, yeah.
And then I'm going to listen toit, I'm going to track it,
figure out where the ins andouts are, what the tempo is, how
I can mix it with freakingblack eyed peas or whatever.
(08:38):
And again, it wouldn't matterif it was Latin, egyptian,
middle Eastern, indian, whateverit is.
I want the songs from them thatI know are going to go over.
I don't want it to be sayinglike you know, stick your finger
in my butt in Spanish, I don'tknow what they're saying, right?
So, like it's not your culture.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's not my culture.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's not my music.
And then I've also mixed out ofsongs too early and gotten just
like just death stares, yeah,because they had these big
endings.
You know what I'm saying.
And then it's like and, andthen I shit the bed and mixed
out of it before that big endingwhere you like, dip your girl
yeah, because they know how todance like right.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
We're just sitting there flailing around like the
white people we are, but thespanish people, man, they get
down anyway well, I was gonnaplay another track, because
here's another one that is ago-to for me if I got some latin
crowd.
This is this mix.
I think this was done byscooter.
Do you have this one?
This is the donza, which islike probably the most gringo
sure version of a latin trackright now are you playing?
(09:38):
That one at all.
Donza cadura, yeah, you playokay, but have you heard it with
the pepas?
No, sir, I think this is ascooter blend.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I could be wrong, okay.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
But this one goes over.
So it's got Donza first over ahand clap and then goes into the
Pepas over a hand clap and then, with the Donza beat, always
goes over.
It doesn't matter if they'reLatin or not.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
But then you can knock out two Latin songs.
Yeah, they're here in the chat.
Yeah, they're good.
See over the Donza.
So if you don't have like amassive Latin crowd but you just
want to give it, a little bitof a flavor that knocks out two
bangers right in a row.
That's good.
Send me that, all right.
Third song, to your point.
(10:23):
What was it?
The Elvis Cr crispo track?
Yeah, yeah, suavemente,suavemente.
So this is like the updatedversion with bailar.
Okay, and this is dioro, sodioro.
This is the jd live melbournebootleg edit.
You got to play this one if youwant to play it to a more
modern crowd so go for it.
That's that merengue vibe.
Now it goes harder here in asecond.
(10:50):
Okay, we're in the flavor of itright now oh.
Yes, total siren.
Now we're in it, this goes offoh.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Massive.
Always good for me.
Damn.
This is like the gringo go-toLatin list.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Right, you're not claiming to be like a gringo.

It wasn't, but I mean , yeah, he had that same funny
thing is you didn't even knowwho he was like.

man, that's racist.
I was like, no, I think that'swhat Peso Bluma looked like.
And it did look like Peso BlumaWow, with the shaved sides, wow

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to have to All right.
Hi, Kevin, Just joined late.
He's like what the hell ishappening here.
Yeah this is heavy, this kid'sshooting salsa.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I'm doing this for the pod man.
This is for the pod.
It is for the pod.
My breath is just it's got tobe T major out of San Diego.
This is a great question.
I hired a personal contentvideographer to shoot clips of
me DJing at weddings.
It's been great for my IG andbranding.
At a recent event my guy showedup like always when dancing
(17:52):
started.
The hired photo video teamflipped out, saying their
contract didn't allow any othershooters.
I explained he was just gettingDJ focused content and not
stepping on toes.
But the lead videographer gotaggressive.
My guy bailed to avoid conflict.
I followed up respectfullyafter the event and she kept
pointing us to the contract.
I told her it's unrealistic toexpect vendors not to create any
(18:12):
content these days.
We parted ways professionallybut I left with zero footage.
What would you have done?
Should I have pushed harder orjust chalked it up as one of
those situations, this thing, ifyou?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
throw up or shit yourself.
I'm gonna be furious.
I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I'm not even playing right now oh man, I mean, you
have saquon but saquon is outthere shooting dude.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Not only do I have saquon, who's my assistant, who
is shooting, running the lights,taking requests and all the
things right, I've definitelybrought in outsiders with dslr
cameras not these pocket osmothrees or whatever and been out
there with big-ass camerasshooting footage.
For me Now, two things.
One, I definitely told thecouple hey, I'm going to have
(18:51):
this guy with me.
You know he's got a black pants, black polo.
You know he'll stay out of theway of your main video and photo
guy.
Is that okay?
So I did get approval,especially when I was bringing
in an outsider Pre-gig, pre-gig.
But I did not reach out to thephoto and video people Listening
to this story.
Maybe I should have.
But also, it sounds like thesepeople are just dicks, like this
(19:13):
footage is for the DJ.
You know, as a video and photopeople, you're damn well not
going to give this stuff to theDJ, or by the time you give it
to him, it's Christmas, yeah.
And stuff to the DJ, or by thetime you give it to him, it's
Christmas.
Yeah, you know, may, right nowI don't know, man.
I mean, would I have just letit go that night, absolutely,
because what am I going to do?
Go out there and start yellingat somebody at a wedding Like it
ain't worth it.
Send your guy home.
(19:34):
Don't put him in a bad position.
There's no need to, you know,start a fight or cause it
exactly like he did afterwards.
And you try not to burn thebridge.
But I just think that thosepeople that were were, you know,
harassing his guy are justassholes.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
that's crazy well, and the other part that was
weird to me in this was that hisguy just left.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
It seems odd to me like that whole situation, like
that relationship seemed well,not really man, I mean, if you
if it sounds like he works withthis person a lot right, and the
guy shows up and he's gettingharassed by these other yeah,
this other media team, and youwouldn't want him to be there
and feel uncomfortable and shit,do you have to pay him maybe?
I mean, maybe not his full rate.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I'd be like hey man, I'm gonna send you 100 bucks on
them for wasting your timedriving out here, but like
you're not gonna get any contentyeah, it sounds like I think
the key is communicationcommunication always before the
event always showing up andhaving that happen so.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So you think he should have gotten approval from
the couple and the media team.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I mean the media team isn't really.
I mean, I would have brought itup to the couple hey, do you
have in your contract with thevideo people that they can be
the only one shooting this event, even though this is just DJ
footage which is fall mine?
Do I need to have aconversation with them?
That kind of thing?
I'll tell you, I don't hirecontent people for me.
I always pay the videographerin cash.
Day of if I know there's avideographer there to get
footage for me, specifically, Ihand it to them.
(20:50):
Day of Cash, cash money, fivehundo I have on hand and you're
leaving that day with content.
Well, I mean, I'm getting itlike within a relatively short
time, because they're alreadythere, they're shooting it, they
already have all the lighting,they have all the stuff.
You're just, you're not even,you're not even asking, you're
just just voluntarily givingthem five.
(21:11):
No, no, I go up to the guy, gohey, listen, you're here.
I would love to see if you'd beavailable to shoot some stuff
for me, specifically like withinthe framework of the event I'm
not saying you gotta be here,like getting me doing all the
stuff.
But just you're shooting itanyways.
Yeah, can I give you some cash?
I have.
I mean, I can also ven too, butusually cash works better.
They're like yeah, I said Ihave three 400 bucks, 500 bucks.
Whatever the case may be, I'lllook at the situation and see
like how nice of a venue it is.
If I know the videographer, Ikind of know where I need to be.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And then I'll offer it within the day.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I have footage of me raw, raw, ready to go, and then
usually they'll follow up withsomething else there to shoot,
necessarily for me, as long asyou have the footage and you can
post whenever you want, sure,that's the key.
Yeah, trickle it out, yeah,great call mark beecher.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
What happens when you have an outside ceremony and it
can rain any minute?
Do you call for things to moveto plan b?
This is a great question,happens to be all.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
We just had to deal with this we did.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
We were just talking about this and saquon and I.
You know, saquon came on boardwith me right after the pandemic
2021.
So he didn't see some of theearlier shows, right.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
My old ceremony rig was pretty involved.
It was a fast set table, apop-up table.
I had a rack.
Wow, the rack went to a speaker.
The speaker had to plug intothe rack.
The rack had to be plugged intopower, right.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Or a whisper quiet or whatever.
This was like pre-batterypowered everything, and so you
know we would have theseplanners go hold, you know, hold
on, don't set up.
Yet.
You know we're trying to decideif this is going to be inside
or outside.
Chairs or everything are set up.
You know we're just waiting onthe storm.
Is it coming or not?
Right, looking at the radar.
Looking at the radar and she'slike we're gonna, you know, make
a call five minutes before theceremony and I'm like no, you're
(22:40):
not.
Yeah, back then I mean it wouldtake me 15, 20 minutes set the
shit up and I would be like Ican hustle and it's still going
to take me 15, 20 minutes.
Sure, now I can literally pickthe whole battery powered rig up
yeah, mic, everything and justmove it.
But to answer your questionmark, I think you do have to
kind of hold to the last minute.
That's why I love this batterypowered stuff.
I literally have everythingclamped to one tripod, right?
(23:02):
I can pick the entire thing upand walk it to the other
position, right?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Anyway, what's your thoughts on that, Dude?
I was an early battery-poweredadopter, before the speakers
ever had them capable of that.
Yeah, this is going back tolet's see when would it have
been 2006.
?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I mean we're on the beach, we're on the beach all
the time and they didn't haveanything at that time.
They didn't have a batterypowered speaker.
So you know how we made it work.
This is and I didn't want tobring it down a generator
because those things weremassive.
No, yeah, this was pre-jackerytoo.
So I had the car battery.
Bro stop, I'm dead serious.
I brought a car battery.
I had the converter with thepower plug-in.
That's ac, I mean that's dc itworked and that was how we did.
(23:40):
It was heavy as all get out,bringing it down to the Not like
the one from your actual car,not mine from my own.
No, I went to the to the, but Iwent to the auto store place to
get one.
Yeah, and we used to bring thatdown.
That used to be my go-to backin the day, cause we needed a
battery on the beach.
I needed it to be quiet.
The beach is like, even thoughwe're at right, it's just flat
(24:12):
right.
So you have to bring thisbattery right, so then that's
old school.
The first battery speaker that Iremember seeing was done by um.
Who was it?
Roland, yeah, and we still usethose to this day because
they're just workhorses.
Yeah, and the batteries theother reason why I like it,
because we actually we switchedto I think it was a swap out
battery in there, wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
well, it used to be at least your throat, okay,
because you keep.
Yeah, you're burning, you burntyour esophagus, this thing is
killing me bro, he burned hisesophagus.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Guys, I don't think I'm gonna make 10, no, I think.
I think I'm gonna throw in thetowel wow, intense.
Wow, he burnt the esophagusguys anyway they used to make
them for now.
They're marketed at walmart atthis point for like uh tailgates
.
They're like an elisa speakersthat is who makes them yeah, the
problem is you plug them intothe wall and just power them
here and then you take them outto the beach.
(24:51):
The problem is I was runninginto them where they would just
go bad, like they'd say 100.
I get out there there's a 20left, jesus, and I'm like am I
even gonna make it through thisceremony, right?
So I got rid of that.
Spent 800, $800 to get thisRoland one that takes actually
double A batteries.
Huh, double A's, and I swear byit Still To this day.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Damn, so take it out there.
You already know what I'm goingto say E versus A.
Well, these just came out right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Right, I got you, but these things have been
workhorses.
They sound great.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
They last like 12 hours.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
There's even a mode on two, not on two batteries,
it's six.
Okay, I'm about to say thereain't no damn way, but I will
tell you that there is actuallya button on the speaker itself
that says max mode or eco mode.
So if you see you're gettingclose on the battery, you put it
on eco mode and it brings thewhole power down a bit.
Yeah, so that that way you canat least get through the
ceremony you had to right.
But on the back it's got sevenor eight channels, it's got an,
(25:45):
so literally I could take thewhole thing and move it yeah in
one right and in florida it canrain in a second that's how I am
, mark.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Mark, I would try and get your gear down.
I I would.
I would obey the wishes of theplanner.
I would obey the wishes of thecouple.
Everybody wants to get marriedoutside man, and for you to try
and be the person that makes thecall on whether it's inside or
outside, I would not want to bethat person.
I don't think you're going toget a lot of referrals from
doing that.
I would just let the planner bethe go-between between you and
the couple and I would try anddo what they ask.
(26:15):
And if you do have more gearthan what we're talking about, I
would say, look, we're notgoing to wait until five till
six to make this call.
I'm going to need, you know, 10, 15 minutes, whatever you need,
and then if they have to delayit, they have to delay it.
You know what I mean.
If they want audio and you needto, you know, move your stuff,
like he was saying in the in thechat, a hundred yards.
Then they're going to need togive you some time for so what's
(26:40):
your?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
is your mic battery powered now?
Everything is so what's yourmic?
What?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
mic.
Are you using Sennheiser EWDXand it has two mics in one unit.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
And it's.
Is it a lapel or handheld?
One of each, One of each or twoof each?
It doesn't matter.
So for our people, they tend towant to have a lapel because
they're holding a script orwhatever.
So my thing was, I went to thebest videographer I knew and
said hey, listen, since you guyshave to do battery powered
stuff, what do you suggest?
And they gave me I believe it'san Audio Technica System 10 is
(27:14):
the name of it.
Battery powered.
Been using it for years, neverhave a problem, no cutouts,
nothing.
So everything is batterypowered.
If I need a handheld, rolandmakes one with that speaker
Right so I can pull it out.
If I've been using that, Ihaven't because no one's needed
it, but there are times whensomeone's reading a poem a
scripture.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You don't have a reader usually not.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, these things are short, they're 15 minutes.
They're outside, it's hot noone wants to be out there for
longer than 20 minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, ours are pretty short too, I mean, and there's
a lot of like my best friends,the efficient and he got his
thing at the life church so he'snot going to go into some
sermon, yeah or a story, theytell the whole story back.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Nobody does that out here in the east.
Northeast they do that a lotreally like a long ceremony long
ceremony.
They're telling the wholedating story, how they got
engaged.
That whole thing comes up inthe ceremony script.
I will say this too I thinkpeople overthink it, overthink
the ceremony.
They're bringing all theseamplifiers and I'm guys like the
mics have gotten so much better.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I'm going to simplify it right.
Mike Walter, who does moreweddings than probably anybody
we know Personally, he's in thehundreds.
He's in the hundreds.
I think he scaled back the lasttwo years Okay well, he's 2021,
22, 23.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yes, he was doing 100 plus yes Himself.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah, Thousands of weddings done yearly at Elite
Entertainment in New Jersey.
Old boy's got a QSC K12.
The shit's probably at least 10to 12 years old and a wired
white mic.
On a white mic stand sittingbetween the three people.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Wired and he's just standing behind the speaker, you
know, at the back of the room,wired.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Wired handheld.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
A wired handheld, okay, that's different and I'm
like bro, does anybody give ashit that it's in the pictures
and stuff?
He's like I don't care, Likethis is what I'm using, Wow.
He's like he tells them like,if you want people to hear, this
is what I'm using, Right, andI'm telling, if you look at his
Instagram, that's like everypost he makes, it's like my view
of a CK-12 with a wired mic.
(29:02):
So some people are way overthinking.
Dude, at one point I had, likeI said, a table amp rack.
I had those goddamn paddle finantennas, like you see, on the
sidelines for an NFL game, forthe mic on the referee to chat
back to the damn PA for the80,000 people.
Like I was way overkill.
Have you gone to the road?
(29:22):
I'm not going to the road.
I'm not going to mics that arecontent creation mics.
Have you tried it?
No, don't need to.
Ain't got no antennas.
If you don't have removableantennas, you ain't.
You're no, you're no friend ofJoe.
Nah are you are you.
I have used it in a pinchPeople in the they're, they're
using that.
That ain't it.
Yeah, it ain't what they're for.
(29:43):
Sorry, thank you, yeah, thankyou.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Thanks for shopping what else we got?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
nathan jones.
I had a wedding.
Nathan jones shout out and theofficiant showed up with a bob
barker god dang.
A bob barker type mic that hewanted to use sounded like
garbage but he insisted on usingit.
Do you let people use their ownequipment to plug in musician,
Musician?
I think he's saying either orLike for example, there's an
officiant here that has acountryman you know what a
(30:11):
countryman?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
is yeah, yeah, yeah, britney Spears special.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
And hers actually is nice.
She has a good one, but shewill not use anything else.
Wow, we plug her into oursystem.
But you know her, you've workedwith her A thousand times.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But if this is Rando Rando, a random, with like a Bob
Barker mic or like a BritneySpears, bobby Brown special.
Bobby Brown special.
I mean if they're insistent,you mean a Garth Brooks special,
yeah, a.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Garth man, if they're insistent upon it, I mean, I'm
a yes man dude.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I usually like Detroit.
Is it just just me?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I'm burning up, you've got a poncho on and we
got the air off.
Now we've been shooting so long.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
It's 81 outside, jeez you have a hat on a stash.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I'm gonna burn some cows, you've been eating damn
salsa for two hours.
It's all good.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Anyway, I'm gonna try and make it work yeah, I'll try
but even if it sounds like dogshit, you know if it sounds like
dog doo-doo?
No, I would tell them listen,we tried it.
Yeah, it's cutting out.
It's not gonna make either oneof us look.
Good, try to paint it so thatyou both win there you go.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I've been doing this, this one's going to work.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I know for a fact I'm the same way Right.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I'm going to try it, listen to it sound, check it
Right and, to be completelyhonest with you, if they were
insistent I'm still going tohold it you know what I would
and then let him hold the BobbyBrown and I'm going to run him
through the lapel Right.
I mean not the Bobby Brown, theBob Barker Is he alive.
Still Did he pass.
(31:28):
I think Bob passed.
Can you look that up?
Can you look that up, my man?
Let me see.
All right, he's looking it up.

I mean, I tried the 90s.
Those are good you did,although you did you use mine

They're a lot like just play tothe right room, yeah for the
right room.

Yeah, we need a little stinger there this came
in handy this weekend, so Ineeded some wireless remotes.
I do not have the e-verse 8s,so I have to use it with just
normal speakers and I.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
They wouldn't have worked anyways.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I'm sorry so usually I use the sennheiser lapel packs
, yeah, to run a speakerwirelessly, yeah.
Yeah, I had two events back toback.
Are those the lawn guys?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
out there.
Yeah, yeah, are you hearingthat through the headphones?
Okay somebody's out thereblowing leaves, sorry guys so,
anyway, I ran out of batteries.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I couldn't believe it .
I didn't have any extrabatteries, I had enough to get
me through, but I was likeworried that I was gonna need to
switch them out.
So, no, double a.
I didn't have any extra on me.
You got all this shit everyweek and you and I just I.
I had two boxes and they were,I guess, next to.
I don't usually fill them in, Ihave my roadie do it, bro, real
quick.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
So Me and Saquon showed up at the gig last week.
No freaking gaff tape.
The planner that I'd loaned itto at the previous wedding stole
that shit.
Wow, $30, three inch black progaff.
So what'd you do?
We just spit on it, okay?
No, we were on a stage, luckily, so there was no foot traffic
Right.
That's where these come inhandy, okay.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
These are Sennheiser as well.
Yeah, these have to be close by.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I have a love-hate relationship with these.
They got to be close by.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
That's the key they do, but in a pinch they're USB-C
, I know no interference.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
What are they called?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
I was just gonna pull that up.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I think it's dildo dongle it's called um?
I don't think it's called dildodongle, never mind, sorry,
that's wrong.
Different, different productyeah, different product.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
This is the sennheiser xswd wireless digital
xlr base set is what it'scalled.
What do they go for?
Oh, because you can get this onamazon.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, let me hold them up, you can't get them on
yeah, uh, I think these are like199 for the pair, 319, that's a
little pricey, too much, but tohave it as a backup right back
up big, but you better be closeall right, one more.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Okay, bob hickman, jesus dropped it.
This is a content light.
Okay, it's also magnetic, soyou can stack multiple ones on
top of one another.
Okay, I think I saw justin thedj post one where he clips onto
his laptop.
I didn't want it clipped ontomy laptop, so this goes on the
dj table facing up, yeah, kindof tilted towards your face.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Wash your face, yes, and you can crank it.
And he's got different yesaperture, all of that.
Speaker 2 (35:27):

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Turkey, please.
Best DJ in Utah?
Just gave us a little questionup there.
This dude's good man, he justcomes up with a good stuff.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
He's good man.
He just comes with the goodstuff.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
He's good this, this kid's good.
Is there anything,professionally or personal, you
have left to do you?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
go personal.
I'll start personal, personalrun a marathon.
You've done that.
Absolutely not.
Don't want to personal.
I need to see, like one of myfavorite bands at red rocks I
got I would put this on the.
I still have things on mybucket list much, much, much
more traveling, especially afterthat Iceland and Paris success
this year.
I want to see my sons grow old.
I want to see my sons besuccessful, fall in love, get
married.
I'd love to be a grandparent.
(37:05):
Wow, I think that would be thecoolest thing, because it's a
returnable child, that's true,but then you've officially like
crossed over at that point.
Really you can't.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Granddad, you're going to go with a name.
You're going to go Pappy.
Nah, you're going to go Papa.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Nah, granddaddy, granddad, something like that.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Wow, that's what my kids call my dad.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Think about how cool my dad was.
He wasn't like an old-assgranddad.
That's true.
He was bun.
Gear, especially now that it isan American-based company, can
be a really big thing.
I think I can be much moreinnovative here.
I'm getting ready to come outwith a booth under $1,000.
No more clothes.
(37:42):
No more clothes, no more pocketsquares no more pocket squares,
no more bad ideas.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
You're going straight gear, straight gear.
It seems like you have been inthe furniture space.
Are you going outside of thatand doing other?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
No, I have been in the furniture space.
Are you going outside of thatand doing other.
no, I don't want to get intoanything electronic.
I think there's a big you knowclearly a return problem with
stuff like that.
Yeah, I want to make thingsthat people can use, that
they're proud of, that makesthem look better.
I have, you know, 10 ideas inthe cube for people that own
command centers, accessories forthat.
I mean, there's almost athousand command centers around
the world, mostly in the UnitedStates.
(38:15):
Okay, I'm going to make abudget more of a pop-up type
booth Shout out, drew Pierce,shout out, drew Pierce.
I'm going to make a bunch ofstuff, man, and it's all made in
the United States, in fact,made in North Carolina, shipped
out of North Carolina, and I'msuper proud.
What's your goal?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
quarter one a quarter .
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, the overseas thing was very difficult, man,
as you can imagine, to get itback six months later and it's
not, and it's wrong.
Take six months to get the nextone is wrong, like that's why I
haven't put the gig desk out.
I showed it in august and I,you know, had all these flaws
and I showed it anyway and westill haven't made it because it
wasn't right.
Right and I'm just not puttingout like bullshit product.
(38:51):
I will never do that.
I don't put up bullshit DJshows.
I'm not putting out bullshitgear Ever.
What about?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
playing a show.
Any professional milestones no.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I would love to play before I get truly old old.
I would love to play one reallybig show and I feel like I've
exhausted my contacts atTicketmaster.
I'm sorry, at Live.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Nation I.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
I just want to open, for I don't care.
I don't care if it's SabrinaCarpenter or Sam Hunt, and I
want to play 30 minutes on a bigstage in front of 20,000 at an
entertainment theater.
Like I want to play one reallybig show.
I want to shoot it well.
I want to feel what thatfeeling is of like what does a
rock star feel at the end of ashow?
Plan it well, play it perfectlyand just get that love.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
But that's a different kind of show because
you're not getting people toreally dance, necessarily no but
you.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
But if you, if they put you on at the right time,
you can not it.
You know, when the sun is stillblazing and people are showing
in the stadium you know you'renot.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
You're sitting in box seats, bro, you went.
I mean maybe like show did,yeah, pipes fucking killed that
yeah he did.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
He destroyed that place and he played it perfectly
.
He played don perfectly.
He played Don't Stop Believingand things that me and you play
all the time.
But there were people therefrom 8 to 70.
You know what I mean.
He's still on tour with Justin.
He's obviously doing a good job.
He's been all over the worldwith him.
He hit me up the other dayabout a backpack.
He goes do you know anybody atJetpack?
I go yeah, I know plenty ofpeople and I go.
Here's the guy's number.
(40:11):
So make sure you tell him whoyou are and like, like what
you're doing.
Cause he wanted a rush a rushorder because he's going back
out.
Yeah, I don't want to go ontour.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I don't want to leave town.
I want to play one big showbefore I'm dead.
How about you, man?
I don't know from a playingperspective of a tour, but I
would love to go to Asia and doan.
Asia tour Philippines, vietnam.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
China, hong Kong all those spots.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I have been to Tokyo but I've never played in Tokyo.
I just love the culture, I lovethe food, I love everything
about it and I've never been oneto go after that.
I feel like from a privateevent DJ standpoint I don't know
anybody who has Clubs, noproblem.
But from a private eventstandpoint, I haven't seen
anybody pull the Asia card andthat's on my list.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Yeah, vice definitely goes over there a lot, but it's
clubs and stuff, right?
Speaker 2 (41:04):
And even for corporates.
I don't see a lot of corporatespulling people in to go to Asia
, europe all the time Yep,caribbean, no problem, but going
to Asia, I haven't seen time.
Yep, caribbean, no problem, butgoing to Asia, I haven't seen
that Yep.
And then, personally, gosh,that's a great question.
I think similar to you man,like I've traveled a lot, yeah,
but I think I want to see itthrough the lens of the kiddo.
As a kid, my world was reallysmall.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Mine too Mine too.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Southern California is where I lived, but we went to
Vegas and that was pretty muchit.
You know what I mean.
Like we never.
First time I went to Miami iswhen I was working for Pioneer
and I was like, oh my gosh, thisis incredible, and I just was
like obsessed with going to asmany places in the US as I could
.
So I definitely want to give mykid that experience of that,
because I did a terrible job.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
I think that's a great call.
My parents did not travelPassports because we went to the
Bahamas one time and we went toMexico one time.
Yeah, my mom's never been toEurope.
I begged her.
I said, let's just me and yougo, like I'll plan the whole
thing.
I have no desire to go.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah, she don't want to go.
Well, it's at that age, walkingaround for a long time.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
My mom is mobile, though man and my dad was until
cancer.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Like he, you know 10 miles.
I mean it was mobile.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
I almost think it's in your family dna though, that
whole routine idea it is.
They're very routine.
Yeah, they were all they.
My mom still is even without mydad, it's.
It's unbelievable in the dnahow routine we are.
Do you ever get choked up onthe?
Uh, like father-daughter dance?
Speaker 2 (42:28):
I did this weekend.
Oh, I don't remember the song.
It was something I hadn't heardand it.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
Just it got me Really .
Yeah, actually it was a mother.
Do you think about when yourdaughter yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
I do, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to
hold it together.
No, you're not.
And actually this couple did a.
The one on Saturday did amother daughter dance, yeah, and
that was just as powerful.
I was like, yeah, it was justlike good.
And I was like, oh.
So yeah, those are tough, but Ithink it actually humanizes you
, right, like I don't know ofcourse it means you give a shit.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
I mean, I mean I don't want to be up there
weeping, but like I never gottold you like now the go-to song
seems to be joy of my life andthat was like my sister, my dad
loved that song, dude.
We played it for their firstdance last night or something
night I was like, oh God, I'mfully turned around.
Back to the audience.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Like there's a bug on the wall or something I don't
know man there's just.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
You know, randy has no kids and he's a crier during
the first dance for thefather-daughter dance sometimes.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
I don't remember ever getting to that point until I
had a kid.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
That makes a lot of sense, I've definitely heard
toast and felt that way.
I've definitely um done shows,felt that way.
Mitch did a show last weekendand I just saw the pictures and
I damn near got choked up.
Both of them had down syndrome,you know how functioning, but
like they, they got.
They found each other in thisgreat big world.
These two couples I mean thiscouple found each other.
I would have gotten choked up.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
I mean just I, I think those people are the
sweetest people.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Anyway, I always love to meet him, I always love to
talk to him, but like I saw thepic he told me about it and I
saw the picture I was like, bro,I, there's no way there was
like a dating show yeah, thatwas that oh interesting, like I
don't know like a dating show,just yeah, but it was all people
who had down syndrome yeah, andoh, I could.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
I'm like how can people watch this week to week?
Speaker 1 (44:13):
I'd be like a mess, I'd be a wreck.
I know there's a special placein heaven for those people.
Man, every conversation I'veever heard had with somebody
with down syndrome, no matterwhat degree of it, it was right
like I left being like maybethey got it figured.
You know, they got it figuredout like they, they've accepted
it, they're, they're working orwherever I need them,
restaurants, target, whateverit's like.
I wouldn't have made it to thatwedding, there's no way.
(44:34):
That's a tough one.
What's the most emotionalyou've ever got at an event?
I have one.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I know it.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
I remember it like it was yesterday, 15 years ago.
I remember it was our old, oldoffice, not this building, not
the last building, not the lastbuilding, but the first building
we were in.
It was on Atlantic Avenue, bythat Bojangles.
I was walking out 5 o'clock ona Friday.
I didn't have a gig Friday,phone rings.
This was back when everybodyhad like an office line Phone
rings and I was like man, damnit, pick it up and it's a lady.
(45:03):
She's in a panic, she's inHarnick County, which is I don't
know how far.
It is an hour's halloween orthe, you know let's call it two
or three days before we'resupposed to have a dance for all
these adults.
They were adults and the djjust bailed on me.
Oh, this is in at seven o'clock.
Let's say it's five now, andyeah and this is back when I had
(45:24):
three djs and I was just likewhat, like name one reason why I
shouldn't go do that?
And I think she was like I havea hundred dollars.
I was like, oh, I'll be there,I'll be there in one hour.
I mean, I just like literallyjust walked out, threw a few
things in the car and went anddid this show.
It wasn't kids, it was adultsand young adults, so let's say,
20 to 40 years old.
Their excitement level overthis party and me DJing and
(45:48):
playing these line dances andYMCA and all the other kind of
sing along and do the dancingDude, I literally played half
the show facing the wall, crying.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Like.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
I was like what if I had not come?
What if I had not done thisparty?
How messed up would this havebeen?
Speaker 2 (46:07):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Like how shitty would this party have been.
How upset would these kids havebeen that they didn't get to
have this and it dude it foreverchanged me man like I.
I think they try to pay me likeI don't need I'm good, like
hundred dollars ain't gonna makeor break me.
Put it towards the associationor whatever it's just mine was
this year actually really.
Yeah, that tim tebow oh, thetim tebow, because it was, uh,
(46:28):
basically all special needs kids.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
I think they'd never had a prom.
So these kids are coming up,and not just kids, they're
talking about people in their20s, 30s and even 40s who've
never had that.
And to have that adulation,people cheering them on as
