(03:24):
I don't know if it was stillraining at that point or if it

Right.
And and he started dancing, andwe got it.
And and that was uh that was areal nice moment.
It was that was a real nicemoment, but yeah, anyways, uh
all of our businesses areextremely busy.
Uh, we're busy.
Uh news, we uh bought a new car.

SPEAKER_05 (03:45):
We do.

SPEAKER_00 (03:46):
Um it was a Toyota Prius, and I remember the old
Prius', and I remember saying Iwould never be caught dead in
one of those things.
No, those things were hideous,ugly, shaped like an egg,
whatever it may be.

SPEAKER_05 (04:01):
No, they're where we're looking.

SPEAKER_00 (04:02):
But this new 2026 Prius, it is a uh plug-in hybrid
to be specific, which means itruns on electricity or gas or
both.
You're supposed to get likefive, six hundred miles range
from a tank.

SPEAKER_03 (04:19):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (04:20):
Um, if if the battery's fully charged, if
you're not driving it like amaniac and you know, everything
else.
So uh we decided to test it outon a whim one day, actually.
On a whim.
We were getting ready for anevent.

SPEAKER_05 (04:36):
Yeah, we were.

SPEAKER_00 (04:37):
Uh Marion had her gimbal out, and she was gonna do
a time lapse of of stuffingballoons for a particular color
and and blowing them up andeverything else.
And I was just sitting therechilling, and I said, You wanna
go to Vegas?

SPEAKER_05 (04:52):
Yeah.
In the new car.

SPEAKER_00 (04:54):
And the new car, yeah.
So we said yeah.
Uh she said yeah, of course.
I don't think you know.

SPEAKER_05 (04:59):
I never really say no to Vegas.

SPEAKER_00 (05:01):
Yeah, gambling or Vegas, right?
Slots or Vegas.
Um, which I have to say, look,we we used to go to Eagle
Mountain Casino.
Yeah.
We used to go to Eagle MountainCasino, you know, it was 45
minutes or what, maybe less,maybe more sometimes because
that highway is dangerous.
It is, and you get stuck behindYeah, you get stuck behind

(05:23):
trucks, and you know, I don'tknow about y'all, but I don't
know if you've really paidattention driving that much out
there.
But uh the lines on the road arenot very safe.
And by what I what I mean bythat is is that it will go to a
uh you know, a dotted line orwhatnot, and it's really not
safe to pass.

SPEAKER_05 (05:44):
No, because it's like how are you gonna put a
dotted line when you're about tocurve?

SPEAKER_00 (05:47):
Or go over a hill.
Yeah, you can't see over it.
No, no, I ain't doing it.
That's it, you know.
So whoever designed thathighway, uh, whoever analyzed
that and said, hey, there's ahundred-foot, three hundred
foot, four hundred foot stretchof road where somebody could
pass here.
Um, I think they failed.
I think they fucked up.
I think there's probably uhmultiple people that their lives

(06:10):
paid for it.
Uh and they need to fix thatsituation out there.
But anyways, we're talking aboutEagle Mountain.
Uh, we were big Eagle Mountainfans.
We were out there all the time,every week, every two weeks,
every three weeks.
And uh we had a falling out withthem.
We had a falling out with them.
We uh we were just mere pointsaway from their legendary or

(06:32):
whatever that tier is, the toptier.
And we decided to go up thereand play, you know, give them
some money, make some points,and get to our legendary tier.

SPEAKER_03 (06:42):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (06:43):
And we were playing and we hadn't we hadn't hit
legendary yet.
So we pulled our card, we wentto the the desk and we said,
hey, you know, I want to know ifyou could look at this for us,
tell us how much we're off, youknow, you know.
No sooner than we give our cardto the guy behind the cage and
he swipes it, he tells us we arejust going into elite status, I

(07:04):
think, or something.
The blue card icon, right?
Um, and that was wrong.
Uh not only do we have the EMCapp on the phone that told us we
were just points away fromlegendary, but uh several
things.
So uh we asked to talk to amanager, we asked, you know,
they called security on usbecause the the girl that was

(07:27):
there was super rude.
Uh she wasn't she wasn'tfriendly, she wasn't helpful,
she had an attitude, and she wasalready talking poorly to other
staff behind that cage, right?
Uh, which didn't sit well withme.
Yeah.
So so I made sure, A, I don'twork there.
B, I can say whatever the hell Iwant to say to you.
These other people that you'renot being kind to and that

(07:50):
you're talking to and treatingthat way, they can't say
anything to you because you'retheir boss, you're their
manager, you're their whatever.
Me, motherfucker, though, hey, II I'll tell you whatever the
fuck I want to tell you.
And if you're being a bitch, I'mgonna tell you you're being a
bitch.
Uh if you're being rude, I'mgonna tell you you're being
rude, and I'm gonna tell youit's not okay.
So they called security on us,needless to say, security wasn't

(08:12):
needed.
Obviously, I wasn't gonna go apeshit and break machines or
anything.

SPEAKER_05 (08:15):
And the management was was nice too.
Once they heard the story orwhatever, we're nice and they
said they were gonna look intoit, but yeah, two ladies came
out, management, they were niceenough.

SPEAKER_00 (08:26):
Uh, we talked to a pit boss as well.
Um a few days go by, there wassome email communications back
and forth.
They said that they were gonnauh have their database guy look
at it and see what was going on.
Needless to say, none of it wasresolved.
No.
I even contacted the COO at thetime.
He's probably still the CEO,CEO, whoever that is anymore.

(08:49):
Um I tried to contact them, Itried to get it resolved.
They didn't seem to care forsome reason.
Uh so we blasted them.
Well, you know, Google Reviewblasted them, and it's their top
review, a negative review,unfortunately for them.

SPEAKER_01 (09:04):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (09:05):
And in that review, I said, Hey, you guys, you know,
you're not gonna be the onlyshop in town.

SPEAKER_01 (09:10):
Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 (09:11):
Not only is there Tatchy out there a little bit
farther away from us, but nowHard Rock was coming.
Yeah, and now officially HardRock is here.
Yes, which you know I suspectthat not many people are gonna
want to go to Eagle Mountainvery much longer.
A, if they're getting treatedany of the type of way that we

(09:32):
were treated, um, B, just forthat dangerous highway, and C
because Tahone is closer,bigger, more beautiful,
everything else.
Yeah, you know.
Um, so, anyways, we we came upwith the conclusion that look,
if we're gonna go gambling,we're gonna go somewhere that
that appreciates us, that takescare of us.
Yeah, and that is the El Cortezin Las Vegas.

SPEAKER_05 (09:54):
Yes, they do, they take very well care of us.

SPEAKER_00 (09:56):
You know, we're on a, you know, funnily enough,
somehow we're on a first namebasis with the the GM Adam.
Uh on a on a phone number basiswith a GM Adam.
Uh something that I don't abuse,something that I don't use, I
don't like calling the guy,texting him, nothing like that.
I won't do it.
Uh we have our our own littleVIP.

SPEAKER_05 (10:17):
Uh we'll message him and tell him, hey, we'll see you
out there, but that's it.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm like, hey Adam, we're gonnasee you at the end.

SPEAKER_00 (10:25):
Yeah, so we we made it a point to say, look, if
we're gonna go gamble somewhere,we're gonna go gamble somewhere
like El Cortez, where uh they'rethey take care of their members.
Um we get we get our roomscomped, we get food comped, we
get play comped, we geteverything.
And you know, Vegas is just ashort three or four hours.

SPEAKER_05 (10:47):
Yeah, it was the trip is not bad.

SPEAKER_00 (10:50):
And now with the new car, it's like yeah, with the
new car, uh not taking anything,you can get out there on a
single tank easily.

SPEAKER_05 (10:57):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (10:57):
Um, the Jeep, however, uh we would have to
fill up two times there andback.

SPEAKER_05 (11:03):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (11:04):
Once there and once back.

SPEAKER_05 (11:05):
And then had to fill back when we got home so that we
could have gas for the week.

SPEAKER_00 (11:10):
And it just didn't like the hills very much.
It didn't.
It's a heavy, heavy, heavyvehicle, doesn't like the hills
very much.
Um, but yeah, uh, we decided wewere gonna go out there.
If we're gonna go gambleanywhere, the the car will get
us there for free, basically.
Uh it's just a matter of ourtime and you know, three,
four-hour drive, whatever it maybe.
And now we have to hone, whichwe'll hit as soon as we can, you

(11:33):
know, as soon as we got sometime and and budget and
everything else in in the cardsfor us.

SPEAKER_05 (11:38):
Uh, that's not gonna cost us anything in gas.

SPEAKER_00 (11:41):
No, and and you know, that's that I'm sure
they're gonna have chargersthere.

SPEAKER_01 (11:47):
Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 (11:47):
You know, so we're just gonna charge before we
leave.
We're gonna charge while we'rethere, and we're gonna come
back.
It's not gonna cost a singledrop of gas to go to and from
Tahone.

SPEAKER_04 (11:57):
No, it's not.

SPEAKER_00 (11:58):
It's gonna take a little bit of time and that's
it.
What is the time?
How how far is Tahone?

SPEAKER_05 (12:03):
I'm gonna say, since we're so close to the freeway,
maybe 25 minutes.

SPEAKER_00 (12:10):
Yeah, like 25 minutes.
We're going how fast?

SPEAKER_05 (12:15):
Like 70?

SPEAKER_00 (12:17):

same.

SPEAKER_05 (12:49):

Uh when my when our clients cameover and was we're talking about
it, I immediately remembered uhColdplay.
Coldplay had a concert.
Uh is it all the stars or isthat a Kendrick song, All the
Stars?

SPEAKER_05 (17:12):
I think it's All the Stars.
I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_00 (17:15):
All right, well, there's a uh Coldplay song where
they're in concert and you cansee all of these wristbands
throughout the entire venue,throughout this entire Coliseum,
this stadium.

version of it.

SPEAKER_05 (18:05):
Oh I'm sure we've played it.

SPEAKER_00 (18:08):
So they're all BPM 125.

good bootleg remix to play ofthat particular song.

SPEAKER_03 (18:20):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (18:21):
Uh for these some of these events that we're gonna be
playing.

be super happy.

SPEAKER_05 (19:02):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (19:03):
Right.
Um, speaking of that, I gotta, Igotta, I gotta point this out.
We also did Arvin High'shomecoming.
And that's my alma mater.
I graduated Arvin High in 1998.
And I was getting ready forthis.
I was a little stressed aboutit.
And I was talking to some otherDJs about it.
Uh my concerns are alwaysexplicit versus clean and uh the

(19:31):
innuendo or tone, the sexualtheme or whatever it may be,
right?
You're like, man, well, theregoes for 80% of the music
nowadays, right?
And then that's what these kidslisten to.

SPEAKER_05 (19:40):
Yeah, and we talk to our 17-year-old too, right?
Yeah.
But she goes to a whole diffdifferent She goes to Stockdale.
She goes to Stockdale High, buta whole different how do you say
it?

SPEAKER_00 (19:51):
Like it's a different environment.
Culture, yeah, cultureenvironment, yeah.
So, anyways, you know, I'm doingmy homework, I'm trying to get
ready, I'm trying to beprepared, and I do everything I
can.

SPEAKER_03 (20:01):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (20:02):
I I source music, I build crates, I do everything.
We get out there, and theywanted what their parents
listened to in Arvin, cumbias,zapateado, yeah.
Bandas, apateado, uh like theywanted all of these just and it

(20:22):
it really made me start thinkingand wondering.
A, I probably uh what it's nottypecast, but I I I made an
assumption about that all thehigh schools that they're that
they are 17-year-old kids andthey want to listen to
17-year-old music.
Yeah, right.
I made that assumption, and Ithink that assumption might be

(20:44):
correct at Stockdale HighSchool.

SPEAKER_05 (20:46):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (20:47):
Uh it might be correct at South High School.

SPEAKER_05 (20:49):
Liberty.

SPEAKER_00 (20:50):
Marvin culturally superseded uh era and genre.
It superseded it.
The the the cumbias, the banda,the tejano, the uh zapateados,
everything is what they wantedout there.
Yeah, and it was a culturalthing.

(21:12):
Now I feel like when you comeinto Bakersfield and you go to
these high schools and inventhere in Bakersfield, and and you
know, I feel like most of thesekids want the newer music,
2010s, 2020s, right?
Um, and I'm gonna have to dosome research on that.

SPEAKER_05 (21:29):
I'm gonna have to talk to some DJs, I'm gonna have
to to They even like the oldlike old school stuff, like Foot
Loose, and uh um there were someother ones, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (21:41):
It was pretty wild.
It was pretty it was asuccessful event.
It was ultimately it wassuccessful.
I will say I feel like I had arough start.

SPEAKER_05 (21:50):
You did, but you you know how to pivot really well.
And you did.

SPEAKER_00 (21:54):
One song will pivot.

SPEAKER_05 (21:56):
Yeah, it's it's like once he somebody comes up to you
and says, I want to listen tothis, then it's like you already
know, okay, this is where thisis where I need to go.

SPEAKER_00 (22:06):
Yeah, and that's one of the things, the beauty of
being uh not having uh uh whatis it, not having uh an ego,
right?
Yeah, I don't have an ego, Idon't know everything, I don't
know every song, I don't knowevery genre.
I I I know most of them, um, butthere's ones that I'm missing,

(22:29):
right?
There's there's things that I'mmissing.
And I always welcome requestsslash suggestions from people.
I'll do my best to play them.
Uh, I will look at them, I willlisten to them, I will make a
decision as to whether thatflows currently or doesn't.
I'll throw it in my preparecrate and have it ready for
later, you know, whatever it maybe, right?

(22:51):
Um, but yeah, if somebody comesup to me and says, hey, we we we
really want to dance somecumbias, right?
And I play a cumbias banger andI get 50 people on the dance
floor.
Well, now I'm going to re-gear,I'm gonna reshift, and I'm gonna
start playing a lot of cumbias.

SPEAKER_03 (23:09):
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (23:10):
And then every once in a while I'll try to sneak
something else in there foreverybody else, right?
The people on the sidelines tosee if they want to come out.
But if they don't come out, I'mgonna play the music that the
people are out there dancing to.

SPEAKER_03 (23:21):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (23:22):
That's that's what it is.
And I think that's probably agood uh piece of advice for
anybody that goes to an eventand wants to hear uh particular
genre or or era or whatever itmay be.
Uh show that DJ love by gettingon the dance floor and and and
enjoying that music and and andlook, especially if you request

(23:44):
a song.
Oh, if you request it and youdon't dance, I'm calling you out
on the microphone.
I've done it and I will continueto do it.
I will.
I'm like, hey, you requestedthis, you need to be out there.

SPEAKER_05 (23:53):
If not, I'm going out there and grabbing you.
Remember that Christmas party?
Some um lady asked for Selenaand she went to go sit down and
I said, nope.
Come on.

SPEAKER_02 (24:03):
No, you can't.
That's not okay.

SPEAKER_05 (24:05):
And she was probably the only one spent there.
But we played it for her, youknow.

SPEAKER_00 (24:14):
And again, look, Selena is uh is a uh an artist
and a genre and a music thatthat goes past everything,
right?
Anyone can uh enjoy andappreciate Selena.
Anybody.

SPEAKER_05 (24:28):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (24:29):
I tried to watch a new documentary, I couldn't
watch it.
I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 (24:33):
We might have to try again.

SPEAKER_00 (24:34):
We can try again, but it seemed like a whole just
a whole bunch of high eight oror old video clips, you know,
old recordings just bundledtogether, and here's a here's a
documentary.

SPEAKER_05 (24:44):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (24:45):
I don't know.
I I didn't give I probablydidn't give it the the fighting
chance that I should have.

SPEAKER_05 (24:51):
Yeah, but maybe we just sometimes we just like to
stick to the original, right?
Like the original Selena.

SPEAKER_00 (24:59):
Let's see.
Hey, we had uh speaking aboutchaos, we had Rottweiler
puppies.

SPEAKER_05 (25:06):
Oh yes.

SPEAKER_00 (25:08):
We uh we have Max and Roxy, those are our adult
Rottweilers.
Roxy was only about a year old.

SPEAKER_05 (25:16):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (25:16):
All right, she uh was on her first heat, I think.

SPEAKER_05 (25:20):
Freaking Max.

SPEAKER_00 (25:21):
Uh Max took advantage.
Good job, Max.

SPEAKER_05 (25:24):
What?

SPEAKER_00 (25:26):
Get some handle it, Max, handle it.
That's what I got her for foryou.
No, um, you know, you you're notgonna be able to like just keep
these dogs away from each other,humping on each other.
Yeah, they that that's they'rearound each other 24-7.
It is what it is.
Uh, but with that, um uh there'sa lot of birth risks, um, a lot

(25:46):
of risks, and we experienced allof them.
Uh all all nine puppies werepremature.

SPEAKER_05 (25:54):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (25:54):
Um we didn't even know she was due.
We knew she was pregnant.
We knew her little Chi-Cis weregrowing and everything else.
We knew she was pregnant.
Um, and I I had about the righttiming.
I thought it was about time uhin the next week or two, uh, but
it had already happened, right?
Yeah.
Um, one of them passed awayduring birth.

SPEAKER_03 (26:15):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (26:16):
So that left eight.
Uh we brought them all in.
We did the best we could, right?
Uh bottle fed them, resuscitatedthem.
Uh they they they seized up andpassed away a few times, almost
seemingly all of them, multipletimes, right?
It was a constant, I was I wasgiving puppies mouth to mouth,
blowing air in their lungs, uh,pumping their chests, bringing

(26:40):
them back to life, being ashappy as I could possibly be
because they were alive and wedidn't lose them.
Um, but nevertheless, not all ofthem made it.
And we uh have three left in ourlitter.
And they seem to be thriving.
They're they're big, they'rerambunctious, they're running
around, they're crying likecrazy.

(27:01):
Uh, they're now on mush slash uhsolid food.

SPEAKER_01 (27:05):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (27:06):
Uh you know, bringing Roxy in to feed them
every two or three hours.
We're done.
We're done.
Done with that.

SPEAKER_05 (27:12):
You know, I'm just, you know, Roxy's still, like we
said, still a baby herself, andI could tell her little
Chichitos are all red, and I'mlike, okay, it's time to wing
these.
Yeah, that's a crazy thing.

SPEAKER_00 (27:23):
You know, ladies, when you guys got nipple creams
and all kinds of stuff to helpyou out, you know, during I
think dogs do too.
Oh, do they?
You can put nipple cream onthem.

SPEAKER_05 (27:30):
So yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (27:31):
Well, but that's torture.
We were having to keep the thethe house in an uh what we call
a hot 78 degrees, uh, becausepuppies can't regulate their
temperature for the first fourweeks or so.

SPEAKER_05 (27:44):
They had a heating pad.

SPEAKER_00 (27:45):
They had a heating pad.
I mean, we did everything, andit it's like having a toddler,
it's like having a child, anewborn, uh, and being up with
them every two hours on the dotto feed them, to clean them, to
bathe them, to wipe them, to toto do whatever, to keep them
warm, to keep them, to keep themmoving, to keep them alive,

(28:06):
especially because they werepremature.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (28:08):
We tried our schedules off, right?
You you were staying up atnight.
I was staying up during the day,and it was just a lot.
And I had to wake you up acouple times because some of
them seized up, you know, and sobut we did it.
We we did the best we could, andwe have three Rottweiler

(28:30):
puppies.

SPEAKER_00 (28:31):
Yeah.
And we're thinking we're gonnakeep them.
We we don't know.
We haven't made that finaldecision yet.
Um, but originally when we hadnine, we were like, well, shit,
man, I'm not keeping nine ofthem.
I I I I chat GPT'd how much doesit cost to feed nine grown
rottweilers?
It was like a thousand, twothousand dollars a month or
something.
It's like, well, I can't affordto do it.

(28:52):
As much as I would love to haveeight rottweilers, you know, I
love dogs, right?
I love dogs.
Um we can't afford it.
Now the three, I I I can do whatI need to do to afford it.

SPEAKER_05 (29:04):
Yeah, we can make it work, but it is a lot of work
having three puppies, and youknow, we have our businesses,
and it's it's a lot, it's a lotof work.
So we would end up with six dogsif we keep all three.

SPEAKER_00 (29:20):
Well, bear doesn't count.
He's a he's a toy poodle.

SPEAKER_05 (29:24):
He's still a dog.

SPEAKER_00 (29:25):
Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 (29:27):
He eats like a little bird.

SPEAKER_00 (29:28):
Bear counts as like an eighth of a rottweiler, like
that don't count.

SPEAKER_05 (29:32):
But imagine poor bear.
He's gonna be scared all thetime.

SPEAKER_00 (29:37):
From eight rottweilers, or or or bear
becomes part of the pack.

SPEAKER_05 (29:43):
Oh my gosh.
Imagine what if he leads them.

SPEAKER_00 (29:46):
Yeah, what if he's the alpha?
Bear, the little toy poodle, isthe alpha of six rottweilers,
five rottweilers, right?
Like, man.
So, anyways, we got names.
Uh Max was our first, ends withan X.
Yes.
Roxy was our second.
Has an ex.
Uh Phoenix is a new puppy.

(30:07):
Yeah.
One of our girls.

SPEAKER_05 (30:09):
Phoenix.
And she's the biggest one.

SPEAKER_00 (30:11):

because she's a littlechanchita.

SPEAKER_05 (30:16):

She uh she never had to beresuscitated.
No.
Never, never in danger ofanything.
That girl got in there and didwhat she needed to do.

SPEAKER_05 (30:29):
She did not care.
She was gonna survive.

SPEAKER_00 (30:31):
So who does that leave?

SPEAKER_05 (30:33):
Um then we have Lexi.

SPEAKER_00 (30:34):
Lexi is our other female puppy.

SPEAKER_05 (30:38):
And then we have Rex.

SPEAKER_00 (30:39):
Rex is our male that made it.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (30:43):
She didn't have very many males.
I believe she only had eithertwo or three.
I don't know what what the babythat was when we found the
litter, the one that had passedaway first.
I don't know it what his sexwas.
But we had two boys, and then hewas the only one that survived.

SPEAKER_00 (31:06):

Yeah, black is clean.
They call him six lack, but it'ssupposed to be black.

SPEAKER_05 (31:39):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (31:40):
You know, that's the way he spells his name on you
know his artist profile.

SPEAKER_05 (31:43):
Yeah, and that that's those are my favorite.
And then, you know, our go-to isMac Miller, too.

SPEAKER_00 (31:49):
That's my go-to.

SPEAKER_05 (31:50):
But you know, it's kind of grown on you.

SPEAKER_00 (31:52):
It's grown on you, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (31:53):
Yeah, it really has.
I mean, I didn't even know whoMac Miller was until I met you.

SPEAKER_00 (31:57):
A lot of people don't know Mac Miller.
You know, Mac Miller wasn'tmainstream, he wasn't radio, he
wasn't, you know, a lot ofpeople don't know Mac Miller.

SPEAKER_03 (32:04):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (32:04):
For me, I got super excited because Big L's
posthumous album came out.
And it had a track with MacMiller.

SPEAKER_05 (32:13):
Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (32:14):
Forever.
Um, and and Mac Miller cites BigL as one of his biggest
influences or reason he startedrhyming and rapping and
everything else.
So both of them are gone now,but it it was nice to see that
they both finally got to do atrack together, even though
they're both gone, right?

SPEAKER_04 (32:31):
Oh, really?

SPEAKER_00 (32:32):
Yeah, they're both past.
Um, and that that just meansmore Mac Miller music.
Yeah.
Not to mention Mac Estate cameout with uh, you know,
anniversary editions of a coupleof his albums and released
additional songs for them.
Which I think I already had.
I think I pretty much have everyMac Miller song ever created.
Um but yeah, that uh them songsright now, those are uh those

(32:58):
are up all the time.
And and we'll just go to YouTuberadio and uh we'll play forever,
Big L Mac Miller, or jeans,Jesse Reyes, Miguel, and then
let it play, right?

SPEAKER_05 (33:11):
Yeah.
And then we're like, oh, well,this is a nice song.
We haven't heard this song in awhile.

SPEAKER_00 (33:15):
Yeah, other artists, other music, you know, and
different suggestions and thingslike that.

SPEAKER_05 (33:21):
Um yeah, that's my go-to right now, Jesse Reyes.
And you know, I've beenlistening to her for a long
time.
And then I recently startedlistening to her again, and you
know, I'm I'm loving her musicright now.

SPEAKER_00 (33:39):
What uh what's something I do to drive you
crazy?
This is a safe space.
Sure.
This is a safe space.
We listen and we don't judge.
But if it's if it's if it'scrazy, you can't say it.

(33:59):
If it's super crazy, if youwouldn't want somebody to know
something about you, theythey're not that crazy.

SPEAKER_05 (34:06):
Okay, it's not that crazy.
I think for me is the morningtime.
You drive me nuts in the morningwhen I've been up for an hour,
and you get up and I'm justready to just talk your ear off.
And you're like, woman, I justwoke up.

SPEAKER_00 (34:26):
Yeah, man, you gotta let people wake up.
Jesus Christ, man.
She does that shit to me.
And you want to put me in a badmood?
There's probably no easier wayto ruin my entire goddamn day
than to just start bombarding mewith updates and news, and this
is happening and that'shappening, and we need to do

(34:48):
this, and we need to go do that.
And it's like, hey man, can Ijust fucking open my eyes, man?
Like, can I, can I, can I havesome coffee?
Can I can I wake up?
Can I and yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (34:58):
And it's not his fault, right?
Like he's he's been on leave fora little bit.
So he wakes up a little bitlater, maybe 10-ish.
And then I'm already awake for awhile.
And so people have already beentexting us about gigs or this
and that.
And when he gets up, I don'thave an answer until you get up.

SPEAKER_00 (35:20):
So you gotta run everything by me.
And we got this, this, and thenI need answers for all of these
items.
But they don't have to be donethat nickel.
You know, open your Apple phone,open your fancy little Apple
phone.
There's a program on it calledNotes.
Open notes, write down thethings that you need to speak to

(35:41):
me about that day and wait 30fucking minutes.
Jesus Christ, man.

SPEAKER_05 (35:48):
I already waited two hours for you to get up.

SPEAKER_00 (35:51):
Man, but you have to wait until I'm awake and uh
alive and processing.
Because when I open my eyes,that just means my eyes are
open.
That doesn't mean I'm awake.

SPEAKER_05 (36:02):
I know, I know.
I need to work on it.
I need to work on it.
But yeah, I think that's there'sreally nothing bad.

SPEAKER_00 (36:09):
All right, who leaves the most messes?
You mean I will somewhat agree,but I will disagree as well.
I will put your ass on blastright now.
I will put you on blast.

SPEAKER_05 (36:24):
Okay, I might not put things away sometimes.

SPEAKER_00 (36:27):
No, or you put them in the wrong place.

SPEAKER_05 (36:30):
Like what?

SPEAKER_00 (36:31):
Everything.
Shit, man.

SPEAKER_05 (36:35):

I think we're pretty equal.

SPEAKER_05 (36:38):
No, no, no, fuck that.
You said it was me.

SPEAKER_00 (36:40):
So now we're on.
So let's talk about.
Let's talk about your nightstanddrawer and your nightstand.
Can you tell me how clean youare versus how clean I am?

SPEAKER_05 (36:53):
That's my space.
That's my cleaner.

SPEAKER_00 (36:56):
I didn't say it wasn't.
I said clean.
I said cleanliness.

SPEAKER_05 (37:00):
It's not clean.

SPEAKER_00 (37:00):
I said who's the question was who leaves messes?

SPEAKER_05 (37:05):
They're not messes, it's just everything in that
drawer I use.

SPEAKER_00 (37:08):
No, you don't.

SPEAKER_05 (37:09):
Pretty much.

SPEAKER_00 (37:10):
No, you don't.

SPEAKER_05 (37:11):
People don't want to know what I have in that drawer.

SPEAKER_00 (37:13):
Okay, let's go let's go pull that drawer into our our
studio and open it and startgoing through all the stuff in
it that you use.
Yeah, bullshit.

Me.

SPEAKER_00 (37:31):
Yes.

SPEAKER_05 (37:32):

Who forgets everything?

SPEAKER_05 (37:37):
Who's impatient?

SPEAKER_00 (37:39):
Me?
Who forgets everything?

SPEAKER_05 (37:42):
You?

SPEAKER_00 (37:43):
I do forget.

SPEAKER_05 (37:44):
You do forget, but I do forget too.
But you forget like big things.

SPEAKER_00 (37:50):
Yeah, like my fucking laptop.

SPEAKER_05 (37:51):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (37:52):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (37:53):
But I'll forget to tell you that I'm dropping
somebody off somewhere.

SPEAKER_00 (37:57):
No, you forget more than that.
Come on.
You're trying to make yourselfout.
Look, we're supposed to behonest on this podcast.

SPEAKER_05 (38:03):
Like what?
When do I forget?
I do.
I do forget something.

SPEAKER_00 (38:10):
You forget gigs?
Oh we Oh, oh, do you now do youwant to talk about it?

SPEAKER_05 (38:14):
Yeah, we can talk about it.
That was a big, a big, big um.
It happens.

SPEAKER_00 (38:21):
We don't need to talk about it, but look, there
was a gig that slipped throughthe cracks.
Um, it was a photo boothbackdrop or just a photo booth.

SPEAKER_05 (38:31):
It was just a photo booth.

SPEAKER_00 (38:33):
It it it slipped through the cracks.
I don't know if we were inColumbus at the time.
I don't know if we were inDenver flying.
I don't know if we were inVegas, you know.

SPEAKER_05 (38:42):
Somehow it didn't make it to our calendar.

SPEAKER_00 (38:45):
It didn't make it through our CRM software onto
our calendar, anything.
Um, and there was actually morethan one because there was
another one that was uh uh thatsomebody hit me up and said, Are
you gonna come set up today ortomorrow?
It was for the hotels.

SPEAKER_05 (39:00):
Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00 (39:01):
So there was a couple of them.
So uh we've rectified that.
Uh anything and everything goesthrough our booking software,
period.
Bottom line, no question.
Here's the link.
You gotta fill out your stuff,you gotta put it in there, uh,
you gotta make it work.

SPEAKER_05 (39:15):
Yeah, but yeah, I mean we made it right.
Um, like talk to them.

SPEAKER_00 (39:19):
I I what I we still showed up, we still delivered,
we still set up, they still hada photo booth.
Uh, we were just slightly late.

SPEAKER_05 (39:26):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (39:27):
Um, but uh you know, professionalism, uh, your your
next photo booth's on us.
Yes.
And not not a worry.
Uh, we apologize, we're not surehow this happened.
We are going to investigate it,we're going to uh figure it out,
uh, we're gonna make sure itdoesn't happen again.

SPEAKER_05 (39:41):
And they were the nicest, most sweetest.
Yeah, you know, they were andwe've worked with them before.
And if anything, they wereworried and thought something
was was wrong with us, right?
Like something had happened tous.

SPEAKER_00 (39:51):
Oh, yeah, they they had contacted me multiple times.
Um, my shit's always on silent,and I try to stay off of my
phone a lot nowadays.
I don't want to be on it.
Um, I just don't want to be onit, uh, especially when there
are some uh racial, political,any kind of divides like that

(40:12):
that really uh uh uh polarizesleft versus right versus good
versus bad, you know, whatever.
And I'm I try to stay off of itbecause uh a lot of times I get
disappointed in friends orfamily or um and that's not to
say that I'm right.
Yeah, uh it's just to say thatthe way I see things, the way I
view things, the way I feelabout things, uh it couldn't be

(40:35):
farther from how they do.

SPEAKER_03 (40:37):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (40:38):
And it's it's upsetting whether they're
responsible, whether I'mresponsible, whether that's just
normal, right?
You know, people have, you know,people were raised differently,
grew up differently, whatever itmay be, but neither here or
there.

SPEAKER_05 (40:51):
Yep, and then that same day, our car gets hit.

SPEAKER_00 (40:56):
Our brand new 2026 Prius XSE plug-in hybrid.
Uh, some kind of special blackuh paint, and this and that, and
and smart this and smart that,and some abulita that wasn't
wearing her goddamn glasses uhat midnight, uh backs up and

(41:19):
scratches and dings our brandnew car.
Uh luckily, uh very nice woman.

SPEAKER_05 (41:25):
Very nice.

SPEAKER_00 (41:26):
Luckily stayed there, luckily didn't run,
luckily had insurance, luckilyeverything, but uh the car's
getting fixed, so not a bigdeal.

SPEAKER_05 (41:35):
Not a big deal, but you know, it was just one of
those days, those days that wejust couldn't chaotic.

SPEAKER_00 (41:44):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (41:44):
We just couldn't get a break that day.

SPEAKER_00 (41:46):
I I think it was uh there was three or four things
that happened that day that werejust, I mean, you you want to
test a human being that thatwould probably test pretty much
any human being.
It was it was just rough.
It was rough.
Yeah, it was definitely rough,but you know how about this one
who makes plans without tellingthe other?

SPEAKER_05 (42:07):
You excuse me?
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (42:12):
Excuse me?

SPEAKER_05 (42:12):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (42:13):
Uh you make plans with our daughters uh before
telling me all the time.

SPEAKER_05 (42:20):
Yes, but that doesn't say that that's a good
thing.

SPEAKER_00 (42:24):
Everybody's gonna get a sneak peek into our
relationship and and they aregoing to finally be able to
chime in and say, you know what,Gordon's right.
Or you know what, Marion'sright.

SPEAKER_05 (42:34):
No, no, no.

SPEAKER_00 (42:35):
What do you mean, no?

SPEAKER_05 (42:36):
No.

SPEAKER_00 (42:37):
So you're so confident that you're right and
you're infallible that ifsomebody listening to this show
couldn't say, you know what, Ifeel for Gordon here because
that's true.
My wife, you know, makes planswith our daughters and kids all
the time and doesn't tell meuntil after they've already made
the plans.
Right?

SPEAKER_05 (42:56):
Fine, you can be right.
You can be right.

SPEAKER_00 (42:59):
I don't need to be right.

SPEAKER_05 (43:00):
You're fine, it's me.
It's me.

SPEAKER_00 (43:03):
Is that helpful?

SPEAKER_05 (43:04):
No, it's not helpful, but all right.

SPEAKER_00 (43:05):
So we're on a podcast and you're not being
helpful to the podcast or to therelationship at the end of the
podcast, but you're not beinghelpful.

SPEAKER_05 (43:13):
I think yes, there's times where I make plans and I
just think sometimes I think,oh, he's not gonna care.
And most of the time you don'tcare, but you like to know.
You like to know.

SPEAKER_00 (43:24):
I like to be in the knowing, I like to be aware, I
like to I like to be in theknowing, I like to be aware.
Man, that's it.

SPEAKER_05 (43:29):
Yeah, but it's like like sometimes I can tell you,
hey babe, I'm gonna go to themall with the girls.
I don't care.
You don't have to tell me.
Yeah, you know, like, but I'mlike, yes, I do have to tell
you, you know, but you know, Ido.
There is times where I do makeplans with the girls, and I just
feel like it's not that big of adeal.

SPEAKER_00 (43:51):
I don't make plans in the sense that I make plans
personally or whatever else.
Uh the plans that I make areprobably about the podcast.
I'll tell you, hey, we're gonnahave a podcast here next
Wednesday.

SPEAKER_01 (44:04):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (44:04):
Right?
Like I'll do that to you.
Um, I booked a gig for nextFriday.
I'll tell you that, or whateverit may be, right?
Um, but as far as plans, plans,yeah.
I mean, look, the studio may Imight have made these plans for
this studio.

SPEAKER_05 (44:19):
Um but it's not anything I didn't know wasn't
coming.

SPEAKER_00 (44:22):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (44:23):
You know, we've been talking about it for a long
time.

SPEAKER_00 (44:26):
Yeah, nothing crazy.

SPEAKER_05 (44:27):
You know, like I'm you know, I'm probably gonna get
a couch without telling you.

SPEAKER_00 (44:31):
I told you we can go buy one.
I told you, let's go.
Who uh who's a blanket stealer?

SPEAKER_05 (44:40):
You mean?

SPEAKER_01 (44:42):
Yes, you okay.

SPEAKER_00 (44:43):
Let me ask you something.
You end up with the guy thatruns hot, the guy that sweats in
bed, the guy that is justburning up all the time is
somehow the one stealing andusing the blankets.
Okay, that you know what thatdoesn't add up.
It doesn't make sense.

(45:06):
You know what we end up havingis is we we we've gotten up and
down multiple times out of bed,whatever else.
Uh we've we've wrestled.

SPEAKER_05 (45:14):
Uh-huh.
Wrestled.

SPEAKER_00 (45:16):
Wrestled.
This is PG 13, baby.

SPEAKER_05 (45:19):
You end up with four corners.

SPEAKER_00 (45:21):
We were fucking.
Yeah.
And we'll and that's that is ourthing.
It's like, why do you have threecorners?
I only have this one corner.
You have three corners, right?
We do that.

SPEAKER_05 (45:33):
Yeah, there's one thing you do do.
You like to tuck the blanketunderneath you.

SPEAKER_00 (45:38):
What's wrong with that?

SPEAKER_05 (45:39):
And so when I'm trying to get in bed, I have
like like a quarter of it, andso I have to kind of like pull
it from underneath.

SPEAKER_00 (45:48):
You're being a little extreme, once again, a
little untruthful, a little, youknow, whatever.
I don't tuck them under me.
I tuck them into my into theedges, into the sides, but not
under.
That doesn't take up a full halfa blanket because I I I push
them up under my legs a littlebit.

SPEAKER_05 (46:08):
You know what I mean.

SPEAKER_00 (46:10):
No, not what you mean.
Nobody knows what you mean.
Everybody listening to thispodcast right now only knows
what you say.
And if you say I steal blankets,and if you say I tuck blankets
under me, then people are gonnasay Gordon steals blankets and
he tucks them all the way underhim and wraps himself like a
burrito for some reason.

(46:31):
When that's not true.
He doesn't, he doesn't.
No, he doesn't.
That's not true at all.
You gotta be accurate with withthese answers and questions.

SPEAKER_05 (46:42):
I'm just being silly.

SPEAKER_00 (46:43):
No, you're not.
Yes, no, you're not.
No, you're not.
You're embellishing andgeneralizing.

SPEAKER_05 (46:52):
Okay, I'm embellishing.

SPEAKER_00 (46:54):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (46:54):
Okay.
What do you mean?
What's the next one?

SPEAKER_00 (46:57):
No, we're talking about this.
We're talking about this.

SPEAKER_05 (47:05):
I'm exaggerating.
I am ex I do exaggerate.
That's probably one annoyingthing, huh?
It's a huge annoying thing.

SPEAKER_00 (47:11):
Shit, man.
Because nobody knows the goddamntruth when it comes to you.
Nobody.
Okay.
Because you quote unquoteembellish and you say all these,
and then everybody else takes itverbatim, word for word, and
they believe everything you say.

SPEAKER_05 (47:30):
I will work on it.

SPEAKER_00 (47:32):
I don't wrap myself like a burrito.

SPEAKER_05 (47:33):
You don't want to be.
I don't steal blankets.

SPEAKER_00 (47:36):
I wrap the blanket under me.

SPEAKER_05 (47:39):
You tuck it.

SPEAKER_00 (47:40):
Not under me.

SPEAKER_05 (47:42):
But okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I embellished everybody.

SPEAKER_00 (47:46):
And then all of a sudden, uh, poor Marion only has
a quarter of a blanket because Iuse so much blanket to let it
lay down the sides of my legs.

SPEAKER_05 (47:59):
I did not say it.
Yes, you did.

SPEAKER_00 (48:01):
Look, it's recorded.
We're gonna be able to play itback.
We're gonna be able to listenback to it.
It's recorded.

SPEAKER_05 (48:06):
Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00 (48:07):
You're gonna have to hear how foolish shit you sound.

SPEAKER_01 (48:11):
Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00 (48:15):
Let's see, what else do we got?
What else do we got?
What are you changing?
What's changing in you as aperson?
Personally, emotionally, as apartner, as a business owner, as
a parent, as a creator?
How are you evolving?
What's changing within you?

SPEAKER_05 (48:34):
I think for me is um, I think I've since I've been
with you, I think I've learnedto stand up for myself a little
bit more and not let people takeso much advantage of me.
You know, like I don't letanyone take advantage of me, and
there's a lot of things thatI'll run by you and you'll be

(48:56):
like, that person's full ofshit, babe.

SPEAKER_01 (48:58):
You know?

SPEAKER_05 (48:59):
Like I think that I've learned to do that and
learn to like, hey, like, thatdoesn't seem right, you know.

SPEAKER_00 (49:07):
I think something that you've learned is that you
have to be a little um stricteror harder when it comes to
business and money and how abusiness runs and not uh, oh
yeah, you can pay me the day ofor you can pay me after, or when
they short you and don't pay youfully what they're supposed to

(49:30):
pay you, and you accept that,right?
Yeah, you know, that that wassomething that we had to
address.
And it's not something that'scomfortable to address, right?
Um we had to talk to this personand say, hey, uh not only did,
you know, you're you're shortingme here, but you shorted me the
last two events too.

(49:51):
And I don't know if you're justso busy that you don't remember
what the the agreement on theprice was or whatever it may be.
But you have to get to the pointwhere a which you have and you
did with them and you said, A,it's this much up front to
secure your date, and it's thismuch remainder one week prior to

(50:12):
your event.

SPEAKER_05 (50:13):
Yeah.
You know and I've grown in my inour business like that a lot,
right?
But also in in my circle, youknow, like I've had to remove a
lot of people from my life.

SPEAKER_00 (50:31):
Yeah, yeah, and you've had to check people.

SPEAKER_05 (50:33):
And we've had to check people and it's
uncomfortable, it sucks.

SPEAKER_00 (50:37):
You don't wanna do it, it sucks.
But it's like, look, if you'recrazy enough to do some shit
that is gonna cause me to haveto check you, yeah, you got
other issues.
You don't want me to check you.
I will check you, and I willcheck you very, very quickly and
efficiently and lethally.
Yeah, I will eviscerate you, Iwill check your ass into another

(51:02):
arrow.

SPEAKER_05 (51:03):
Yeah, but you know, like for instance, when we first
got together and I worked in thereal estate world, right?
And people were texting me afternine o'clock.
Ten o'clock.

SPEAKER_00 (51:17):
Oh yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (51:18):
And uh and to me it was normal, right?
And that's just because Butthere's no work-life balance.
My boss made it nor normal atthe time, and and uh Gordon's
all like, no, that is not okay.
You might be salaried, butyou're not well it happened in
retail too.

SPEAKER_00 (51:37):
It happened to you in retail too.
The the the the newer manager atone of the retail establishments
that you had, uh, he didn'tunderstand uh work-life balance
or or respect of other people'stime or anything else.
Uh, and I had to check him.

SPEAKER_01 (51:51):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (51:51):
Like I I'm not gonna allow it.
I'm not gonna do it.
I've done it myself.
I I've worked through, you know,my ex giving birth to a baby.
I was in the hospital workingwhile she was giving birth.
Like I, you know, and like thereneeds to be a separation.
There needs to be, but you knowwhat?
Now that you're talking aboutthat, right?
Yeah, uh, we're gonna redirect alittle bit.

(52:16):
Um something happened recently.
Something very, very terriblehappened to somebody that was a
very close friend to you.
Very dear, very dear, very closefor a long, long time.
And and this is on a dailybasis, talking on a daily basis,

(52:36):
including weekends andeverything else, every day of
your life talking to somebody.
Yeah, every single day of yourlife talking to somebody.
Um, and it always seems likethere's a hundred people on
social media that are so hungryfor attention that they will

(52:58):
post this horrible news or theywill post, oh my poor friend,
uh, I wish you were still here.
I'm so sorry this happened toyou.
All of these people will beposting this stuff seemingly
because they need attention,because A, they weren't really
friends with the person.

SPEAKER_05 (53:19):
Um what are you gonna get from that posting
attention?
Sorry, comments, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (53:26):
Attention, that's what I just said.

SPEAKER_05 (53:28):
Yeah, the first thing someone's gonna message
you is who was it?

SPEAKER_00 (53:31):
Yeah, unless you actually include who it was and
you say, you know, Rip, my poorfriend, you know, whatever else
may be, right?
But you have all of theseattention-seeking people on on
social media wanting to be thefirst or wanting to be the
closest friend, everything elseis like, look, motherfucker, you
didn't hang out with thisperson, you didn't talk to this

(53:52):
person on a daily basis, youdidn't call to check up on this
person, you didn't go on tripswith this person, you didn't go
out to lunch with this person,you weren't involved with this
person, you weren't celebratingthis person's wins and you
weren't there for their lossesand everything else, but all of
a sudden, rest in peace, my poorfriend.

(54:13):
Like you people fucking disgustme.
Yeah, these people disgust me.
I like I told you, if and when Idie, there might be 10 people,
you know, that have permissionto post about me and say, hey,
my friend.
Because I don't really have thatmany friends.
I have a shit ton of uhacquaintances, everything else,

(54:34):
but who calls me?
Yeah, who texts me, who checksup on me, who congratulates me
when I post something, you know,great, who interacts with that,
you know, who does all of thesethings?
So I'm gonna say right now, I'mso disgusted and tired of
people, uh, social media, thethe constant just need for

(55:00):
attention at the expense ofsomebody else's life and their
family members that are havingto endure the fact that they're
never gonna see that personagain.
A real friend that's never gonnasee that person or talk to that
person again, a real familymember that's never gonna see or
talk to that person again.
Yet there's a hundred people outthere posting this and that and

(55:23):
that and the other.
Uh, my poor friend, this andthat, didn't deserve this,
didn't deserve that, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah, blah.
And you can't post a singlepicture with them.
You can't post a single picturewith them.
You don't have a picture withthem at lunch.
You don't have a picture of themdancing with you or dancing at a
party.
You don't have a picture of themat an event.

(55:44):
You don't have text messages andemails from them.

great friend.
You know what?
I'm gonna tell 99% of you guysout there right now, you guys
are shitty fucking friends.
I'm gonna tell you right now,99% of you guys are shitty
fucking friends.

(56:05):
Call your loved ones, callpeople that are important to
you, text them, be a part oftheir life, do everything else,
or keep your mouth shut and stayoff of social media when those
people are no longer here.

SPEAKER_05 (56:16):

DJing.
Right?
I feel like I've been gettingbetter.
I feel like I've had some not sogreat events sometimes, and you
have to learn from those.
But then I feel like a couple ofour latest events were some of
my greatest performances, youknow, and uh that makes me
happy, you know.

(01:01:06):
I think it'll make anybody happyto to work for something and to
struggle and to succeed.

SPEAKER_03 (01:01:13):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:01:13):
Right?
To succeed.
Now I'm hard on myself.
You are, and you're a fan,you're a Gordy B super fan,
right?
So it doesn't matter if I dowell or not, you're gonna say,
hey, you did good, baby.
But me, I'm never happy.
Yeah, you know, if I'm happy,uh, it's rare.
And if I'm happy, I will stillfind something that I'm unhappy

(01:01:35):
about inside of it.

SPEAKER_05 (01:01:37):
But I'm they're always there to remind you that
you did good, and I'll recordlike your transitions and then
I'll be like, oh, that was good.
So I kind of try to bring youback and you know, try to help
you.
And um, you know, that's therole that I play.
I I'm there, I'm your number onefan, and I hate missing any gigs

(01:02:00):
you have.
I like to be able to.

SPEAKER_04 (01:02:02):
It's very rare.

SPEAKER_05 (01:02:03):
It's very rare.

SPEAKER_04 (01:02:04):
Very rare.

SPEAKER_05 (01:02:04):
I mean, the last time I missed a gig was because
I had surgery.
Yeah, that was the only time.
And then after that, I haven'tmissed another one.

SPEAKER_00 (01:02:13):
But it's always great to have a partner there
with you that that can takecontent, that can help with
content, that can help withother stuff.
For instance, uh, two Saturdaysfrom now, we got a big kinsei,
like we were talking about withthe LED bracelets and everything
else.
And there's gonna be a lot toset up.
There's gonna be a lot of movingparts.
You know, there's gonna be coldsparks, there's gonna be low
fog, there's gonna be wirelessuh bracelets, uh, there's gonna

(01:02:36):
be all of the festivities, allyou know, the shoe changing, the
crown, the dance, you know,there's gonna be a lot of moving
parts.
And DJing and MCing is enough onits own.
And then you have to add, hey,hit the button for the cold
sparks.
Then you have to, hey, put theice, put dry ice in the low fog

(01:03:00):
machine.
Uh, and that's a lot of work todo to juggle all three or four
of those things.
So, you know, I'll have you,I'll have Summer.
I think Omar is going.

SPEAKER_05 (01:03:09):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:03:09):
Uh, so we're gonna have a whole little group, a
whole little team.

SPEAKER_05 (01:03:12):
A little family team.

SPEAKER_00 (01:03:13):
Little family team.
Um, and I the another thing thatwe were talking about, I think
we're finally gonna buy aprinter, a photo booth printer.

SPEAKER_04 (01:03:22):
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (01:03:23):
Um, now I'm gonna let everybody know right now uh
our business strategy with ourphoto booths is uh kind of a set
it and forget it kind of thing.
It's uh a microwave.
I always tell people it's amicrowave.
You can't really fuck amicrowave up, right?
No, you put your time in and youhit start.
Well, our photo booths aredigital, uh cellular.

(01:03:46):
Uh you you hit the the picturebutton, you hit the gift button,
you hit the boomerang button,you hit the video button, it
prompts you, it takes them, andthen it asks you for your cell
phone number.
You put your cell phone numberin and it sends it to you
immediately.
And that doesn't require anattendant.
No, however, we have beengetting some requests here and

(01:04:08):
there for uh printers, right?
A printed uh photo, which uh forthe most part, I'm gonna say
does require an attendant.
It's gonna require somebodythere to make sure it doesn't
jam.
It's gonna require somebodythere to put paper in it or do
whatever.

SPEAKER_05 (01:04:25):
And to put these, there's little kids that will
take a million pictures.
And that's just gonna take alook at the controlled.

SPEAKER_00 (01:04:35):
And and at that point, then then the business
strategy and the business modelis gonna be you get 200 prints
and that's it.
Everything else is digital, youget 200 prints, that's it.
You know.
Um, but it is going to cost morebecause of the printer and
because of the attendant.
Um, and that's the same thing togo with props.

(01:04:56):
Uh, we stopped doing props along time ago because um they
get torn up, they don't getrespected, kids tear them up,
parents don't pay attention totheir kids, parents steal them
if they like the prop, whateverit may be.
So we don't do props, we just donot do them.
If we're gonna do them, uh it'sgonna be supervised.

(01:05:18):
We're gonna have somebody there,and of course, the photo booth
is gonna be more expensive thanour our all digital photo booth.
But yeah, we're we're thinkingabout getting a printer for it.

SPEAKER_03 (01:05:26):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:05:27):
Uh just so we'll be nice.

SPEAKER_03 (01:05:29):
It'll be nice.

SPEAKER_00 (01:05:30):
And and Marion's real good at the Canva and all
the graphics and setting uptemplates and things like that.
So it'll all be customized andeverything else, which is again
another charge.
Yeah.
Uh you're gonna want a customtemplate.
Well, that's gonna be another$50or whatever.
You know, I don't know what itis.
I haven't really done myhomework on the model per se

(01:05:50):
quite yet.
Uh, but the the template isgonna cost, the printer is gonna
cost, the the um props are gonnacost, and us having an attendant
there is gonna cost.

SPEAKER_04 (01:06:03):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:06:04):
But that's why we've been so successful and so uh
formidable, right?
Uh so competitive is that ourunits are they don't require any
of that.

SPEAKER_05 (01:06:16):
No, they don't.

SPEAKER_00 (01:06:16):
So I don't have to pay a 20-year-old kid, a
30-year-old person, whatever itmay be, a couple hundred dollars
to go babysit a photo booth.
I don't have to do that.
I'm I'm not going to.

SPEAKER_05 (01:06:27):
And we're not just gonna drop it off anywhere
either.
Like we we make sure we know ourpeople and make sure our photo
booths are gonna be okay.

SPEAKER_00 (01:06:37):
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we're we're growing that partof the business.
What else are we trying to grabup on the on the entertainment
and DJ photo booth side of thebusinesses?
I thought there were some otherthings that we were gonna speak
about investing.

SPEAKER_05 (01:06:52):
You're looking into those speakers.
Not sure if you want to getthose.

SPEAKER_00 (01:06:55):
Yeah, so I'm looking into some of the column
speakers, you know, columnarrays, whatever you want to
call them.
Um, I'm not real, really sold onthem.
I don't really uh love theappearance of them.
What I love about them is theirportability, um, how quick they
are to break down, how easy theyare.
Um and I think if you're withina certain size room and or a

(01:07:20):
certain uh attendance level, uhthey work fine.
And and they have little subsbuilt in, they have the tops
built in, everything else.
And in the case that we have a300-person event in a bigger
hall or something, then we'llbring two additional 15-inch
tops.
Uh so yeah, I am thinking aboutinvesting in that.

(01:07:41):
Um, also uh video podcasting.
So I've been looking at all thevideo podcasting equipment,
which A goes back to what wewere talking about.
I don't tell you everything,right?
I've been looking at videopodcasting for uh a few days
now, maybe a week now, and Idon't think I've told you about
it, but I have a plan to dovideo podcasting eventually.

(01:08:02):
It's not like so the road has avideo S, a video podcasting
unit.
I'm gonna grab a couple camerasand a video podcaster, and uh
we're gonna start doing somevideo podcasting as well, I
think.
Um I've already looked into allthe technology, all the
software, all the features.
I've already learned how to linka mic to a camera.

(01:08:25):
So if I'm talking, it'll go tothe camera that's pointing at
me.
If you're talking, it'll go tothe camera that's pointed at
you, and it'll do itautomatically.
Okay, cool.
So there's some production valuethere, right?
Yeah.
Um, and this will be a perfectlittle place for, you know,
we'll put a table here in themiddle, people on the left,
people on the right, camera overthere, camera over here, and

(01:08:45):
we'll just go back and forth,you know?
Yeah, we'll go back and forth.

SPEAKER_05 (01:08:49):
Um, I know I want to get some more like backdrops and
yeah, we need to invest.

SPEAKER_00 (01:08:54):
We need to invest in the businesses some more.
We need uh we need some morebackdrops, we need we need more.

SPEAKER_04 (01:09:00):
Just more like look, we have cold sparks.

SPEAKER_00 (01:09:04):
Yeah, we have low fog, we have photo booths, we
have audio guest books, we haveum four 15-inch tops, we have
two 15-inch subs, two 18-inchsubs, a 12-inch sub.
Um, we have sound.
Oh, the the uh I I don't I don'tknow how we forgot about this,

(01:09:25):
but the marqueese letters.

SPEAKER_03 (01:09:26):
Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:09:27):
We are starting to get into the marqueese letters
business.
Four foot letters.
Um we're gonna get into that.
Um, we've been working on that.
I got all the the plans, all theschematics, blueprints, whatever
you want to call them that pluginto the CAD software that they
cut the the joints out for you.
Uh so at that point we'll haveto, I don't know, brad nail them

(01:09:49):
or whatever, nail them together,uh glue them, nail them, paint
them, primer them, paint them,put the uh put the lights in
them, everything else.
Uh, but we're gonna start doinguh the Marquise letters.
Um and I think we're gonna builda DJ booth, uh a podium, podium
style.
So, you know, there's Danny Maxand Bun Gear and a couple of
them other outfits out therethat sell them.

(01:10:11):
And uh personally, they'repretty pricey for me.
Um, they are super professional,they're super clean, they're
beautiful units.
Um, but I think we can buildsome together on the CAD
software, cut them out, put themtogether, and and we'll make it
modular.
We'll have a base, we'll have acolumn, and we'll have a top.

(01:10:34):
And on that top, we'll haveinterchangeable shelves uh that
will uh accommodate whatevercontroller that you use.
You know, if you use uh a rain,then it will, you know, you'll
have a rain top.
If you use 1200s and an S9,you'll have 1200s and an S9 top.
If you use an SR2, you'll havean SR2 top.

SPEAKER_04 (01:10:52):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:10:52):
If you want to expand that to include like the
sound switch over off to theside and have everything right
there on your booth, then thatthat'll happen as well.

SPEAKER_05 (01:11:01):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:11:01):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (01:11:02):
Yeah, we we have a lot of a lot of plans and a lot
of things to grow our business.
Um, I think the website's gonnaget a new look to it.

SPEAKER_00 (01:11:12):

We're not gonna completelyrevamp it.
We're happy with portions of it,and we're not happy with

that hey, you know, we're gonnabecome good friends with these
people, right?

SPEAKER_05 (01:12:04):
Um This is where it comes in the sayings where your
clients become your friends, aremore friends than your actual
friends.

SPEAKER_00 (01:12:13):
And I think that's I think that holds true.
I think that holds true.
I think we've developed a lot ofrelationships with our clients,
and uh, we're on social mediatogether afterwards and
everything else, and uh we're apart of each other's lives.
We can see them grow, they cansee us grow, all of that good
stuff.
It's uh it is a very, very nicething.

(01:12:36):
But we're we have trips plannedthis next year.

SPEAKER_05 (01:12:39):
I know that's gonna be nice.

SPEAKER_00 (01:12:40):
We have a big one planned.
I consider big.
It is Thailand.

SPEAKER_05 (01:12:46):
Thailand.

SPEAKER_00 (01:12:46):
So we're talking about going to Thailand in June,
sometime in June, some weeks inJune.
Talking about going to Thailand.
Um, long ass flight.
Uh you know, look, that's one ofthe main things that concern me
all the time is flights.
Like, I can barely stand to sitin an airplane for two hours,
let alone 16.

(01:13:07):
I don't know what the flight wasto Thailand.
Do you remember how long theflight was?

SPEAKER_05 (01:13:12):
I'm gonna say 16 hours.

SPEAKER_00 (01:13:14):
Yeah, so crazy, right?
Like, I I I I don't even want tothink about it.
Yeah, I I think I'm gonna liketry to take a Xanax and a
sleeping pill or something andtry to sleep through most of it,
right?
Um, there's only so many moviesyou can watch, only so many TV
shows, you know, only so manygames, only so many whatever.
And like, man, I'm I'm I'm overthis shit.

(01:13:36):
And I'm a bigger guy, you know,these airplane seats are not
friendly for us bigger guys.
Anybody 6'3, 250, 260 pounds,wide shoulders, long legs, you
know, it's not it, it is not thebusiness.
It's not the business.

SPEAKER_03 (01:13:53):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:13:54):
So we have that.
We'll probably be out inColumbus again hanging out with
mom.
Um, we'll still have a coupletrips to Vegas.
Yeah.
Um, and then I think we're gonnatake one, I say for ourselves,
but just us two.

SPEAKER_04 (01:14:10):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:14:11):
For us, for ourselves, wherever that may be,
whether that takes us to CostaRica or Ireland or Hawaii or
Japan or wherever, right?
Yeah.
Uh Rome, you know, or want to goto Italy, want to go to, you
know, see all of that and do allof that over there.

SPEAKER_05 (01:14:28):
Um we'll get there.
We'll we'll be able to doeverything we want to do, and we
just we work hard, we play hard.

SPEAKER_00 (01:14:37):
Yeah, we really do.
We really do.

SPEAKER_05 (01:14:39):
You know.

SPEAKER_00 (01:14:39):
We're gonna see about expanding and getting into
the drone stuff a little bitmore.
I I really think there's a amarket, uh, a business for
aerial photography, for um, youknow, you you have wedding
photographers, right?
Do you have like a a w a personthat does drones during your
wedding?
Yeah.
Right?
Captures all kinds of differentangles.

(01:15:01):
And you know, there was one thatwe did over at Nirvana, the guy
had a drone, and I specificallycranked that dance floor up, and
I got on the microphone and Isaid, Hey, we got a drone above
us, you know, let's give them aparty.
And everybody went crazy.
And I can I don't think I everseen the footage, but I can only
imagine, and it was some prettybanging footage, right?

(01:15:23):
A full dance floor with LEDs andand and dance lights and people
and and just celebrating and adrone capturing it, right?
Um, not to mention just youknow, all the other stuff that
you know drones are used for asfar as uh uh scouting and and
looking ahead and looking out atterrain and and things of that
nature that you know normalperson isn't gonna want to climb

(01:15:46):
through or do or whatever it maybe.
You know, you put your yourfirst person goggles on and you
fly away.
I've already wrecked a drone,broke a drone, a couple of them.
Uh there is a learning curve.
There is a learning curve.
Uh the better the drone,obviously the the I think better

(01:16:08):
experience you get.
Uh I think uh you know, whetherit goes it's the flyability, uh
the safety features, thebuilt-in, you know, safety
features.
Hey, this is happening, let'sbail this guy out real quick
before he smashes his drone intowall.
Right.
Um I also think that uh growingnext year.

(01:16:28):
I also want to try to do anevent or two.

SPEAKER_05 (01:16:31):
Yeah.
You like beats over the city?

SPEAKER_00 (01:16:33):
Yeah, maybe Beats in the Park.
Beats Over the City again, parttwo, right?
I want to do a couple moreevents.
So uh I really was impressedwith our Beats Over the City.
Uh it was our first event weever did, first event we ever
organized, first event we everran.
Um MC'd, DJ'd.
Uh, it was just a great overallexperience.

(01:16:56):
And every time I talk to peopleabout it, they love it and they
ask when we're gonna do itagain.

SPEAKER_05 (01:17:01):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:02):
So I I think I want to do it again.

SPEAKER_05 (01:17:04):
That'd be so nice to do it at night and have those
bracelets.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:08):
Oh man.

SPEAKER_05 (01:17:10):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:11):
That's a wonderful idea.

SPEAKER_05 (01:17:12):
It is, and pretty awesome.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:14):
It's uh one minute or one hour, 17 minutes and 15
seconds in.
We need to remember that.

SPEAKER_05 (01:17:20):
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:22):
Because we gotta do some bracelets uh for beats over
the sea, or we gotta do anighttime one.

SPEAKER_05 (01:17:29):
Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:30):
Beats at night, or whatever it may be.
I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 (01:17:33):
It'll have to be maybe closer to the summertime
where it it's not so cold atnight.
Maybe more.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:41):
Yeah, I want I want perfect weather.
You know, I want perfectweather.
I I shoot for perfect weather.
And uh I think the only badthing about beats over the city
was is we didn't have portapotties.

SPEAKER_05 (01:17:51):
Which I think we'll be able to get this time.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:53):
We'll get this time, yeah.
Yeah.
Um and I don't know that we mademoney on beats over the city.
I almost venture to guess thatwe lost or broke even.

SPEAKER_05 (01:18:02):
We did it for we we did it for this the community,
and you know, which we like todo.
We like to give back, you know.

SPEAKER_00 (01:18:09):
And I don't even yeah, like you said, I don't
even care about making money onBeach Of the City.
It's an event that I like to do,to give back, to give families
something to do, um, to hangout.
You know, Rick helped us out alot with the the jumper and
everything else.
Uh uh C10 came out with therewith his show cars.
Uh we had primos, we had uhlemonade, we had uh vendors, we

(01:18:33):
but things like that.

SPEAKER_05 (01:18:34):
It's not about the money.
It's it's the money will come.
If it's gonna come, it'll come.
But I think we had so much fun.
The families had so much fun.
They brought blankets, theypicniced, they it was just it
was just a great event, and thesupport from the DJ community

(01:18:56):
that we got was amazing.
We had maybe over 20 DJs there.

SPEAKER_00 (01:19:02):
Yeah, there was a lot of DJs there, lots of DJs,
and that that that made me veryhappy.
Um because like we've saidmultiple times, I'm a newer DJ.
Like I haven't been DJing for 40years, I haven't been DJing 10
years, and to have the respectof other DJs in town and the
support.

(01:19:22):
Um and there's a couple of them,there's a couple of them that
always show up.
Cheeto, 1200, Cheeto, he alwaysshows up to my stuff.
Dose always shows up to mystuff.
You know, um the guys Rich, youknow, shows up, supports uh in
the world.

SPEAKER_05 (01:19:41):
And even if Rich shows up for an hour, he always
shows up, and it's it's youknow, it's just he's busy, he
really is busy, and he takes thetime to come out and support,
and we have a lot of people likethat.
A lot.
Dante, you know, it we've justour community has grown so much.

SPEAKER_00 (01:20:05):
Dynamite did a lot.
Dynamite did a lot for beatsover the cities.

SPEAKER_05 (01:20:10):
He did, he was so awesome.
Every everyone, you know plays apart and we welcome it.
We welcome it.
We're not gonna push anyoneaway.
We welcome it and it's nice.

SPEAKER_00 (01:20:29):
Well, I think we're gonna wrap it up.
We're an hour and 20 minutes in.
I think we talked about a lot.
We still have a lot we canprobably talk about.
We'll save it for the nextepisode or whatnot.
You know, this is just a glimpseinto us.
Uh, we tried to get a littlepersonal during this, you know,
during this episode to give youguys a glimpse of just a Gordon

(01:20:50):
and Marion are just two regularass people that have a device
that lets them podcast and andwe we get on it and we talk shit
and you know whatever.
Uh, but also, you know, aglimpse into our life and and
how social media may not alwaysaccurately depict um happiness

(01:21:11):
or success.

SPEAKER_05 (01:21:13):
And we we have regular problems like any
marriage couple, and you know,we have our disagreements and
you know, but we love eachother.
At the end of the day, we loveeach other, we support each
other, and we're each other'snumber one fan.

SPEAKER_00 (01:21:28):
Yeah, so it's uh it's a real glimpse.
And we're gonna try to do somemore of that stuff on the next
episodes and everything else,you know, just letting you into
our life.
Because look, everything that Ipost on Instagram, glitz and
glamour, looks great, fun,happy, everything else.
But the the heartache, the work,the the sweat, the tears,

(01:21:48):
everything you don't see andeverything you don't know about,
our lives are not perfect.
They are far from perfect, butthey are good.

SPEAKER_05 (01:21:57):
But they're perfectly imperfect.

SPEAKER_00 (01:21:59):
They're perfectly good.
It's a good life.

SPEAKER_05 (01:22:01):
It is.
We do have a good life.

SPEAKER_00 (01:22:03):
You know, there's more that I want and more than I
want to do, and that and that'sjust my my personality.
Uh, it's not that I'm not happywith what I have, it's that I
want to keep growing.
Keep growing.
I want to do more, I want toexperience more.
I think that's the main the mainthing.
Experience more, adventure moreand experience more.

SPEAKER_05 (01:22:24):
And we want to give our kids things that we didn't
have.
You know, and and I think we dopretty well for the most part,
you know.
And I I want them to be able toexperience everything we didn't
get to, you know, which is it'snice.
It's nice to be able to dothings for our senior right now,

(01:22:49):
you know?

SPEAKER_00 (01:22:49):
Yeah, these seniors are no joke.
I I know we said we're gonna cutthe podcast, but now hey, like
we're talking about thesegoddamn seniors, hey, seniors
plus female, uh, very expensive.
Very expensive.

SPEAKER_05 (01:23:02):
The shoes, the nails, the dress.

SPEAKER_00 (01:23:04):
But you know, look, at the end of the day, and we've
said this on many of ourpodcasts, our girls are damn
near perfect.
I couldn't ask for some kidsthat gave me less problems.
Because our girls do not reallyprovide us with problems.
We're not we're not having totalk to schools and parents and

(01:23:28):
and juvenile systems and thisand that and that and the other.
Look, man, if if the the biggestthing that my daughter Summer
wants is to go hang out with herboyfriend one one day during you
know the time that we have her,or she needs uh some money to go
on a date or you know, nails, orhair dye, or some clothes, or

(01:23:52):
you know, events like Marionsaid, proms and homecomings and
you know, all of that stuff.
I'll gladly work two or threejobs for that.
Um that makes it worth it, andand that makes it easy to do.
Uh you you're such a good kid.
I have no problem doing thatshit for you.

SPEAKER_05 (01:24:07):
We raised them to be very open with us.
And if there is a party goingon, she'll literally tell me,
I'm not gonna go, mom.
I found out there's gonna bedrugs and drinking, I'm not
going.

SPEAKER_00 (01:24:19):
Yeah.
You know, and which I'm lookingI'm still sure that she has been
to a party that has had drugsand alcohol, but she doesn't do
them.
She's not interested in them,she don't care about them.
She's she was raised, you know,correctly.
And look, if if once she's 18 or21 or whatever else and she
wants to experiment withsomething, by all means, you
know, let's do it in a safe way,in a safe space.

(01:24:42):
Come do it with dad.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (01:24:43):
And I know we know that if she were to make a
mistake, we would be the firstone she would call.

SPEAKER_00 (01:24:49):
Yeah, see, that's the other thing is a lot of
these kids are so afraid oftheir parents that they can't
talk to them and they can't tellthem and they can't reach out to
them and go to them.
If our kid gets in a bind and isdoing something that they
shouldn't be doing, they arestill comfortable enough to call
us, knowing that I'm gonna givethem tough love, uh, knowing
that they're gonna hear about ita little bit from mom and dad.

(01:25:12):
Uh, but at the end of the day,they know that they can call us
and they know they have an outand they know they're safe.
Um, and and that's the key.
That's the key.
We don't have all the answers asparents.
You know, I'm 45, whatnot, andMarion's 29 and 39.

SPEAKER_05 (01:25:29):
I was 21.
Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_00 (01:25:34):
And you know, we got we got five girls between the
two of us and a and a son.
Um, and we're always learning.
We're we're always learning.

SPEAKER_05 (01:25:43):
And growing, learning and growing.
And you know, our kids didn'tcome with a manual, you know.

SPEAKER_00 (01:25:49):
And none of them do, just like those puppies didn't.
We had to figure everything outas we went with them puppies.
We were chat GPTing every houror two, hey, the puppy's doing
this, hey, the puppy's doingthat, how do I do this?
How do I do that?
Same thing with parenting, youdon't really know.
Uh, and that's where, you know,talking to other people who are
truly friends, right?
Um, somebody that you respect,you know, their opinion or or

(01:26:13):
you know, who they are and anduh and things of that nature,
and people that you can go toand talk to, your parents,
right?
Which is not always the rightanswer either, because our
parents raised us in aparticular way, um, and some of
that wasn't right.
Um, so you can't get informationfrom your parents just because
they're your parents.

(01:26:33):
Uh, you have to take everythingwith a a grain of salt, if you
will.
You have to uh pull theinformation that's good, uh, get
rid of the information that'sbad, uh reformulate, re, you
know, do everything, and thencome up with, you know, your
attack plan or how you're gonnahandle something or or what
you're gonna do and and thingslike that.
It's a constant, constant,constant learning.

(01:26:56):
And this is the first time wehad puppies.
This is the first time we hadkids.
This is the first time and it'sgonna be last time any of this.
Who knows?
We might have puppies again.
And this next time we havepuppies, we'll we'll be all the
more wiser and be able to takecare of them better and
everything else.

SPEAKER_05 (01:27:09):
But just know that everybody's going through
something.
Everybody, you know, you guysneed to talk or anything.
We're here.

SPEAKER_00 (01:27:21):
Well, Mary, maybe I don't know about me.
I I am not a talker.
I don't like I don't like beingon the phone.
You can text me, but if you textme and say, hey, gee, I really
need your help or advice orthoughts or whatever else, I
will be more than happy to sitdown with you in person or over

(01:27:42):
a phone call or whatever else,and I will do whatever I can,
whatever wisdom I may or may nothave, I will give you and try to
help you with and talk youthrough things.
Because look, if I don't havethe answer, I'm sure both of us
can figure it out.
And then I will have that answergoing forward.
And if and when whateverscenario is happening to you

(01:28:03):
happens to me, I will have asolution for it now, right?

SPEAKER_05 (01:28:07):
But just know you're not alone.
Everybody is going throughsomething.
You're not alone.

SPEAKER_00 (01:28:12):
