Send us a text

Have you ever wondered what it takes to transform a casual get-together into an unforgettable event? Join us on this lively episode of Blue Slide Serenade as we recount our thrilling Havana Night experiences, where our passion for DJing, MCing, photo booth magic, and balloon decor turned a simple gathering into a spectacular celebration. We also share the joy of our spontaneous gigs at Off the Rails, comparing the laid-back vibe to the meticulous planning and execution required for our larger events, giving you an insider’s view of the hustle behind the scenes.

Ever faced the frustrations of dental care or the everyday irritations of road rage? We open up about our personal struggles, from navigating the costly and complicated world of dental health to enduring the maddening moments caused by others' inconsiderate behavior. Beyond these day-to-day challenges, we look at the bigger picture, discussing the importance of social media for our business, the exciting potential of hiring additional staff, and the dynamics within the DJ community—highlighting both the supportive collaborations and the occasional envy that comes with it.

Balancing the fun and the serious, we explore broader societal issues like rising energy costs and the impact of electric vehicles. We also touch on lighter moments, from our fascination with pop culture and beloved YouTube personalities to the excitement surrounding Anderson Paak and the Free Nationals' tour. We wrap up by reflecting on the importance of charity, our practical approach to spending, and our unwavering commitment to growing this podcast. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the insights, or a break from daily stress, this episode promises to deliver a rich, engaging conversation.

It could be number two, uh,because the first one was kind
of an impromptu.
Hey, let's get togethertomorrow and let's see how many

sense.
And it did so.
We jumped into a havana nighttoo, went all out, decor, leds,

a whole lot of dancers, and then, this last event, we had a
dancer, shiva, I believe hername was.
She's Iranian, so she's Iranian, moved out to Ventura County

(02:58):
and now I believe they're inKern County and I think they
have a dance studio here orthey're're involved in the
community with, you know,dancing and all of that nature.
We've had a couple one-offthings a little birthday party
here and there, graduation partyhere and there, quite a few
photo booths going out and oneof the bigger ones again right

(03:20):
up there next to Havana, off therails.

Yeah, tony Anthony Got to hangout over there, took a photo

mashups, some hip-hop slashreggae mashups.

(03:45):
Just a good time overall.
Good time overall.
Which one was your favoriteevent?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
They all have like this little different about them
, right.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Their little uniquenesses.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Their uniqueness and the people.
And you know, I think with Offthe Rails was fun because it
wasn't so stressful.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Where things need to get done and we have to do this
and that, and over there we justgot to be ourselves and enjoy
it, enjoy the people and have adrink, and it was nice.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, hang out, hang out.
Everybody loved the music.
We had a few people come outand support us Oscar and his
wife, adam and his wife, had afew people come out hang out
support.
But that is an interestingthing, you know, when we go to
off the rails, jerry's, you knowthings like that.

(04:52):
It's, it's not quote, unquoteour event.
We don't own the event per se,we just perform.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
And or provide a service, and or provide a
service, whereas with 1933,havana night, we are working all
day, our tail's off.
I am having to take a Fridayoff of work, I'm having to take
PTO, so I'm missing a whole dayof work, that income, which is

(05:23):
pretty significant.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
You know not to toot my own horn.
Beep pretty significant.
Yeah, you know not to toot myown horn.
Beat beat.
Yeah, you know, and you know,thankfully we're in a place that
I can do that right, so it'snot a big deal.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
And don't get me wrong Havana nights I have a
great time, it's a wonderfulnight, but by the time 1.30 hits
we're out.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
We don't even break down.
No, we're out yeah, we leave, webounce.
So normally we're there at um1933, at about 11 am, 12 pm.
We're there all the way tillabout 5 30 pm.
We gotta go pick up the girls.
If it's our weekend with ourgirls um, rush back home, jump

(06:07):
in the shower.
Yeah, get well, you have to.
You know it takes me like twominutes to get ready.
You know a shower, what is it?
Shit, shower and shave thethree s's I don't shave, so uh,
shit and shower, which everybodydoes, and that's what I have to
do he doesn't even have to pickout his clothes what do?

Speaker 1 (06:26):
you mean.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I mean you don't pick them out.
I mean, look, I'm easy, I canjust wear shorts and a t-shirt,
jeans and a t-shirt, I don't.
But you know what?
Uh, this last Havana, we reallyum up to the professionalism,
if you will.
Yeah, like we went out theresuited and booted, we were
dressed to impress.
It was a professional, very,very, very professional event.

(06:51):
I think we had 250, about 250in attendance.
We did pretty well.
But yeah, going back to whatyou were saying, that is an
entire event and experience thatwe are doing and we are setting
up.
It is five hours of setupbetween the both of us, Five

(07:15):
hours with you, five hours withme.
Go pick up the girls, get home,get them situated, get them
settled in.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Make sure they're fed .

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, everything's good, and then head back to 1933
.
Yeah, um, so there's about anhour and a half two hour period
where we go from 1933 out to go,you know, take care of business
, then back to 1933 at like 8 pmor you know whatever, because
the social dance portion, allright, no, I don't think it's

(07:45):
the social dance, it's the introdance, their free class that
they do.
That starts at nine on the dot,and this last Friday, this last
Havana Friday, we probably hada hundred people already at nine
on the dot, between peoplegetting in there trying to catch

(08:06):
a seat and people wanting to godo the intro class by default
right away.
100 people.
Yeah, now, everybody knows, youknow, people show up later,
right, fashionably late.
That's why that saying existsFashionably late, because people
are that.
That.
That's why that saying existsFashionably late, because people

(08:27):
are going to show up at 10, 30,11, 11, 30.
But even by then we had 200people, yeah.
So the next goal with Havana iswe have a lot of growth that
we're looking at.
We're looking at more talentsingers, dancers, whoever might
want to come out and showcasetheir skills, their talents,

(08:48):
their abilities.
We're going to do some techiestuff.
We got our photo booths thatare going to be.
If anybody's rented our photobooths before, just to give you
a brief glimpse, if you haven't.
There's several differentfunctions on them.

(09:08):
You can take a photo insuccessions of four, so if you
hit photo, it'll have you takefour different pictures.
If you do GIF, it'll do a GIF.
If you do boomerang, it'll do aboomerang.
And that's about where we leaveit.
There's other options to dosome other things here and there
, but I think those three arethe biggest ones and cover most

(09:29):
things.
Well, after you take those,you'll be presenting an option
to SMS immediately.
So you click the SMS button,you put your phone number in and
it texts you your media, yourpictures, your gifts, your
boomerangs, immediately.
Well, we have integration nowthat we will be live streaming

(09:53):
those pictures and gifts andboomerangs throughout the
evening, live as the eveningunfolds, on all the projectors
in 1933.
So you know people are going tohave fun with it.
I think People are going to gotake pictures and come back
inside and just wait till theysee their picture on the TV.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
That'll be fun.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
It'll be fun.
It'll be a lot of fun.
And we have some other stuff.
We won't go too far deep intoit, but we have other things
that we're working on.
And we have some other stuff.
We won't go too far deep intoit, but we have other things
that we're working on.
Less than 24 hours after thelast event, we have already
started planning the next.
We already have the post outthere.
We have the event out there.
We're trying to invite people.

(10:37):
We would love it if anybodycould comment like, share post,
tell your coworkers, tell yourfamily, tell your friends.
I think the next major goal isgoing to be 300, which I truly
believe will hit 300 July 26th,and we're going to keep growing

(10:58):
it.
We've got a lot of work to doon it and we're having a lot of
fun with it, so that's a nicetouch.
Uh, so we definitely we got toshout out everybody that has
come out and supported us.
Uh, rented our booths, uh,rented our lights, um, anything.
Uh came out and simplysupported it.

(11:18):
Havana night came out andsupported it off the rails.
Like I said, oscar and his wife, adam and his wife, um, and
those are.
Those are busy individuals aswell.
Yeah, you know those.
You know adam and oscar, very,very, very busy, yeah, um.
And then you know, of course,off the rails, becca anthony uh

(11:39):
having us out there, allowing usto uh come hang out, and, you
know, provide some vibes,provide some music and uh,
things of that nature 1933 andbrian um russ, brie nate um lyle
, security um everybody that'sout there making that that

(12:01):
possible, and obviously cns, youknow carlos and stephanie yeah
um, if it wasn't for carlos andstephanie?
I'm not even going to flattermyself or entertain myself, but
havana night would not behappening without them oh no um,
they are the meat and potatoes,if you will, for havana night

(12:21):
yeah um, they have such a holdon the community, they have such
an influence in the community,they have such a following in
the community.
We're just blessed to be able towork with them and they have
very, very similar work, ethics,ideas and things of that nature
, and a vision, a vision forHavana Night, not just hey, this

(12:45):
Friday, and that's it right.
What's our vision?
Our overall vision, ourfive-month plan, our nine-month
plan, things down the road, butthat's about the gist of
business right now Challengesand wins.
I think one of our biggestchallenges, um I think it's time

(13:11):
yeah, time is.
Time is a killer it's a hugechallenge if we could clone
ourselves, it would be sowonderful.
However, that may be anopportunity right, I'm not going
to complain about time andthings of that nature, but that
might be an opportunity to wherewe can hire a couple people,

(13:32):
you know, provide a, an incomefor a couple people, for, you
know, various projects, variousthings.
Um, we're going to need acouple people for 1933, on j
26th.
We're going to need somebody atthe door and I'm not sure.
I think we're going to need acouple people.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
We'll see.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
But we'll see Photo booths and props.
Now, props you know I hateprops.
I mean I love them.
They really set things apart,they enhance.

(14:24):
You know they're fun, and I'mtalking about PVC things that
are not flimsy, things that arenot going to get torn up too
easily.
Props just kind of I'm not real.
I'm not a big fan of them.
You know we order our propsfrom Amazon or whoever.
They're cheap.

(14:45):
They're paper cutouts.
I'm not a big fan of them.
We order our props from Amazonor whoever.
They're cheap.
They're paper cutouts.
You've got to glue the damnsticks to the props half the
time.
They come with little dots thatdon't work, so we hot glue
every single one of them.
It's literally like a littlefactory hot gluing stuff, but

(15:07):
they're super flimsy and theyget torn up every single time
and most of it is unruly littlekids.
Yeah, parents that uh are atsome you know event that are
just letting their kids run amokuh-huh and they're.
Look, I'm not gonna say they'rebad kids because they tore up a
photo booth crop right.

(15:27):
That doesn't mean you're a badkid, but there might be a
certain level of respect orappreciation or maturity.
You know things.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
You know that they might not necessarily have in
their life yet yeah, but youknow, it becomes a a teaching
moment for the parent too, like,hey, respect people's stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, yes, respect other people's property and
equipment.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
But then it makes you think too do we want to put
more money into more expensiveprops when they're just going to
be thrown?

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, I think the PVC props are pretty durable, but
they're definitely moreexpensive.
And here's the thing our pricepoint on photo booths is
borderline low, so it's notsomething that we're necessarily
going to be providing yeah um,now, if you go with somebody

(16:22):
else, use somebody else's photobooth and they want to provide
props for you and they charge$600 or $700 for your event cool
, but we're usually down atabout $300 or $400.
So props are not always goingto be something that we're going
to provide, something thatwe're going to dump money into,
because we're on the low endalready now.

(16:43):
That's not to say that if youapproach us and you ask us, I'm
definitely going to dump moneyinto because we're on the low
end already now.
It's not to say that if youapproach us and you ask us, I'm
I'm definitely going toentertain, I'm definitely going
to quote you and I willdefinitely get those props for
you, but there is an added costto that yeah not only the cost,
but you know time, which youknow.
Time is also money.
Um, other challenges in theindustry DJing.

(17:06):
Emceeing the next most dopepodcast, we're going to talk
about haters, if you will.
That's kind of a childish termbut it's just easier to use.
There is a lot of quoteunquotehate in the DJ community Envy,

(17:27):
insecurity, and I don't know ifthat's the entire DJ community
around the world.
I don't know if it's KernCounty, I really don't know.
But on the other end, we'veworked with a lot of DJs that we
have collabed with and that wedo have great relationships with

(17:51):
.
We did a lot with Johnny andMarcy early on.
A whole lot with Johnny andMarcy.
Shout out to OG Redeemed and DJWifey.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
They're awesome yeah great people.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
I love them and I really don't have a problem with
anybody in the community.
Um, because it, I hate to sayit's not that serious to me.
It's serious, you know, I loveit and I take it seriously.
Obviously I put a lot of workand time and passion and
podcasts and and collaboratingand things of that nature.

(18:25):
Um, dj ace my boy, um dosmuchos ill flow um nate yeah,
nate.
Yeah, does nate have a dj name?
I don't know.
Is it just nathan antwine?
Nate antwine now n-a-l nathanantwine something that Antwine.

(18:47):
Now N-A-L Nathan Antwinesomething that's his company now
, I don't think Nate has a quote, unquote DJ name, but I
technically don't have much ofone either.
Gordy, everybody knows me as G.
Everybody knows me as Gordy.
My name is pretty simplistic.
My name is pretty simplistic.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
But you know what I love about our group that we're
close to in the DJ community?
They're all about us growingand us about them growing, oh
you know what, and we're leavinga lot of people out.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
John Cota ASM Dance Floors.
We got a trailer from John.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I mean, he hooked us up.
I didn't have the credit, Ididn't have the money right up
front, but he trusted me, Itrusted him and that transaction
went through just as we planned.
We wrote it up, we signed it,we did a contract, we did
everything, did everything theright way, perfect.
Then you're still talking aboutRich, richie, rich.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Okay, rich is the one that introduced me to John
Right.
Rich is the one that has almostevery DJ in this city.
Go guest DJ spot at the Condorsor at Chewy's or up at Eagle
Mountain or wherever he's at.
He's all about support and allof those things.
Flex.

(20:07):
I got my s9 from flex my mixercame from flex um mario out on
the coast, out in oxnard depechemode.
I got my 1200s from him rightand I look anybody.
I apologize, I've probably leftquite a few out.
Oh, I'm working.
I've been talking with Cheeto,another another DJ.

(20:30):
He does a lot of stuff down atthe Mint and he's doing a lot of
graphics.
He has a lot of projectors.
He has a sick little setupwhere he just has.
He has shit everywhere likejust graphics up on the walls
and everything else.
So I've been talking to himpicking his brain.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Hey, I got a sick mix yeah, I was gonna say him yeah
derrick has been instrumentalfor me personally, huge.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
I have literally bought every single one of his
music packs, every single one ofhis crates.
I have bought every single one,I have every one.
Above that, I was subscribernumber one to his breaking bread
foundation, his patreon account, which he uses to go, you know,

(21:20):
help feed people up in the BayArea.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Oh, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
And I just talked to him this last week.
I wanted to run it by him.
You know we've been talkingabout it for a while, but I
decided that I wanted to open upmy own selfie store.
I wanted to create my owncrates and sell my own crates,
my own intros and outros andthings of that nature.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, and if you don't know something about my,
about gordon, is he his files.
All his music is absolutelyclean, pristine, um.
You won't see anything out ofplace, it's perfect perfect.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Everything's immaculate.
I'm very OCD when it comes tomy music and I'll tell you why
Because I'm new.
I'm fairly new and that's how Ihad to get started.
I had to be organized.
There's things that are goingto go wrong when you go DJ
places.
I don't want one of thosethings to be something that I
have control over.

(22:25):
If something goes wrongsomewhere, it's not going to be
because of me, hopefully, right.
So you want to set yourself upfor success.
You want to be organized andyou want to set yourself up for
success, but anyways, yeah, Iwas talking to Derek and I said
hey, man, I just kind of wantedto run this by.
You didn't necessarily have to,but out of respect for him, uh,

(22:46):
you jeezy um and some of theseother guys that have their selfi
stores and all their crates andeverything, um, but mostly sick
mix, because, again, I ownevery single one of his crates
um, I want to get his blessing,if you will yeah and he was cool
as hell about it.
He's like yeah, man, for sure doit.
And so I'm starting to work onsome crates, intros, outros, and

(23:14):
those will be up on the SelfieStore.
I don't know if it's like 10bucks a crate.
You know 20 to 40 tracks orsomething, you know just
whatever.
For me, it's just another wayfor me to be more involved in
the community.
Like this podcast, like themost dope podcast, um, it's just
a way for me to to get deeperinto the culture yeah yeah.

(23:41):
So yeah, I.
And look, I I'm again.
I'm sure I left out a wholebunch of people, so I apologize.
I'll try to get a nice littlelist running for the most dope
podcast next week.
I'll try to get everybodyshouted out.
But again, I love you all, Iappreciate you all.
It's been a nice little, nicelittle run so far.
That's business.

(24:04):
That's business.
What else, what else?
We had to go to the dentist.
Man, there ain't nothing likedental pain.
I have a theory that your teethand your nerves in your mouth
are in such a such a closeproximity to your central

(24:26):
nervous system, aka your brain,that that little pain signal
fires very quickly, very quickly.
And look, I grew up poor.
I grew up in Arvin, belowmiddle class.
I don't know that I would saypoverty per se.

(24:48):
We were okay in Arvin.
Right, there was people thathad it better.
There was people that had itworse, not a big deal.
But dental was not one of thepriorities in the household.
Right, that was a luxury, ifyou will.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, it's a luxury.
So, anyways, I got some prettybad teeth here and there and I
still don't really take care ofthem as much as I should.
Look, I floss multiple times aday, brush everything else.
I think genetically I justmight have some bad teeth, you
know, I think people do yeah, Imean, your brother jesse, has

(25:29):
perfect teeth yeah, right and hehe doesn't have the perfect
diet.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
No, no.
But growing up we always had totell him brush your teeth,
brother, brush your teeth.
And every time I went to thedentist he was was cool.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
He was cool.
Yeah, I hate that yeah.
So, anyways, we finally getmyself into the dentist up here.
I won't even tell you whatdentist it was, but it was over
on this side of town Got in,they took all the images, all
the x-rays, and I don't like thedentist.

(26:03):
I think.
I think a lot of people don'tlike the dentist per se, but I
think I might have had a couplebad experiences at a younger age
where I really don't.
I don't trust them.
You get that White Coastsyndrome where your fucking
blood pressure just shootsthrough the roof.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
And which mine was like 170 or something, some
crazy number right, like you'regoing to have a stroke or a
heart attack range.
Anyways, got it all.
Got me out of the seat, wentover to the office, sat down
with somebody.
She had these couple sheetsprinted out and she started
going over it.
Man, you're talking aboutsixteen thousand dollars and I'm

(26:48):
like you gotta be fuckingkidding me Like I work for
Dignity Health.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
We pay for insurance.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
I have dental insurance, but I think dental
insurance is almost a scam.
I feel like dental insurance isalmost like a healthcare
spending account.
They don't really coveranything.
Needless to say, I will not bewasting money on dental
insurance in the future.
I will just use whatever moneyI was going to spend on dental

(27:18):
insurance to take care of dentalissues.
I don't need a middleman to dowhat you're not going to cover
for me.
I don't need it.
So anyways, yeah, that was abig negative.
so we shot down to mexico youknow, um, down the five,
straight down the five, which Iprefer to the 805, to the eight.

(27:43):
You know, your mom lives out inlemon grove, um, and then then
we keep shooting out towardswhat is it?
Calexico, uh-huh, get over toCalexico park, walk across.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
To Mexicali To.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Mexicali Uber to the dentist.
I got like three root canalsdone for $600, which is roughly
200 a piece, you know, pluswhatever little fee here and
there, maybe for like Novocaineor whatever they gave me for.
So I think it was like 700 total.
We're going to go back downnext Tuesday, got to get some

(28:25):
more work done and hopefully,you know, one or two more trips
and I'm I'm good, I'm caught up,I'm chill, but I'm good right
now.
I don't really have any toomuch pain or anything, and so
that's good.
Uh, we got the dentist.
Oh yeah, man coming back fromthe dentist oh god oh my god,

(28:46):
I'm look, I'm in a foul mood,I'm probably just in a bad mood,
and you get.
You get to a point where youget tired of people feeling like
people are inconsiderate ortaking advantage or things of
that nature.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
So uh, you were in pain yeah, and I'm in pain.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yeah, I'm not.
I'm not pleasant, right.
So we're driving, driving,driving, driving, and we decide
to stop in uh, is it lions orcastaic, castaic?
And we go over to, um, the gasstation what's that one called
pilot, pilot, the pilot stationor anybody that's been to the

(29:23):
pilot station?
They're, uh, single pumpsthrough the parking lot.
It's not like there's you, youknow, four pumps on each side.
There's literally one pump oneach side of their island and
they're packed, which isunderstandable.
People travel.
So we, we just parked behind avehicle that's parked to get gas

(29:46):
, yet they're not getting gas.
So now, at this point, I'm like, okay, look, man, you parked
here, you're taking up a spotfor people who actually need to
get gas, just so you can goinside and buy some monsters and
corn nuts or something right,like, look, there's other
parking spots and this is notthe right one for you.

(30:08):
Look, there's other parkingspots and this is not the right
one for you.
His boy was sitting outside onthe passenger side of the
vehicle, standing around, thegas door was open, but there was
no pump in the vehicle, no gasactively being pumped, and I'm
like, okay, well, somebody'sgoing to come out and pump gas.
Somebody had to go in and usecash.

(30:32):
You know, not everybody is adigital person.
Yeah, so dude finally comes outand I haven't said a word to
his boy or anybody and he startspumping gas.
It's like great, great, we'renext right, no big deal, I'm
glad I didn't say shit.
You know, I'm in pain, I don't.
I don't know if I'm justirritable and in pain or if I'm

(30:52):
just.
These guys are reallyinconsiderate pricks.
Yeah, so this guy finishespumping his gas, docks the you
know the gas gun or whateverinto the machine the gas gun or

(31:15):
whatever into the machine, andthen proceeds to start talking
to another person after he'sdone pumping gas outside of his
car?

Speaker 1 (31:23):
yeah, and I'm done.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah, so we, we honked at him yeah and he
started to he threw his arms up.
He looked back, threw his armsup and kind of gave the hold up
little you know, the hands up inthe air, like hey, just wait a
minute, or whatever.
And it's like, look,motherfucker, I've already been
waiting for a minute.
Nah, I'm not waiting anotherminute, get your fucking ass out

(31:45):
of the fucking way of megetting gas.
So right after he did that, hethought he was going to be funny
.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
And he started walking away from his vehicle
back into the pilot.
Well, I don't know what to sayabout it, other than I opened
the Jeep door and I sprung outof the Jeep pretty aggressively

(32:17):
and started walking towards thegentleman pretty aggressively
and he kind of stopped in histracks.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
And I said, is there a fucking problem?
He was like no, no problem, noproblem, and he tried to mouth
off about something else.
But at this point he isreversing course and about to go
back to his vehicle instead of,you know, further antagonizing
the situation and walking backinto the pilot, which he had no

(32:51):
need for.
He was just trying to be a dickyeah and he's mouthed off.
He said, and I basically toldhim.
I said look, motherfucker, I'llmove the vehicle with for you,
like I'm gonna get in my jeepand I'm going to plow through
your fucking car and push youout of the way yeah then I'm
gonna proceed to get gas.
So he runs off, runs back intohis car.

(33:14):
His boy never comes out to helphim or check on him or anything
else, and as he's pulling awayfrom the gas pump he flips me
off uh-huh I'm like whateverdude you?
you just tucked your tailbetween your legs exactly.
You tried to act like a toughguy.
I jumped out of the vehicle.
You seen me and you were like,oh shit, yeah, wrong one,

(33:37):
because look, there's alwayssomebody bigger, stronger,
tougher, faster, whatever.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
And that goes for me included.
There's people bigger than metoo.
There's people smaller than me.
You can get any one of theselittle jujitsu guys to just beat
the shit out of a huge guy.
Right size isn't really, uh,necessarily a deciding factor,
but it is intimidating and itdoes help, yeah.

(34:03):
So, anyways, we get gas finallyand we decide, okay, well,
let's stop and eat yeah we'vebeen driving, we're tired, so we
go to denny's right next doorpark, get out, go to the door,
only to be told they're closedyeah and this is very, you know,

(34:25):
obviously unexpected.
So there was probably somethingwrong in the facility for them
to be closed.
Well, denny's is 24 hours rightyeah, for the most part yeah,
so then we're like oh okay,walked off, jumped back in the
jeep, seen a frost frosty kingor a foster's freeze or

(34:47):
something I don't remember whatit was.
They were closed.
I think they had drive-thruaccess.
But look, we were kind of tired, we just wanted to stop and
stretch out a little bit.
So I was like, okay, you knowwhat?
Now that's two.
Let's just go to the McDonald'sright here real quick.
We park, go to the door it'slocked.

(35:10):
And it was the side door.
So I was like, okay, well,maybe they're just the side
door's locked.
So then we go to the front door, it's locked.
So at this point I'm like, hey,we're fucking out.
If this is a sign for to tellus, hey, this is, you're not
supposed to be here, let's goahead and get you out of here.
Let's just get out of here.
We'll stop in Fraser, somethingright?

(35:30):
yeah the bottom of the grapevineanywhere.
But we're not meant for thishere.
For some reason, and rightbefore we went to McDonald's, we
we get to the intersection, ourlight turns green and we are
about to proceed through theintersection and this LA County
fire truck is already almost inthe intersection before he even

(35:53):
lights up his sirens and lightsand blows through recklessly as
all hell.
Now look, hey, they're firstresponders.
There's something that they gotto get to.
So, look, I ain't going toreally shit on them or anything
about it.
And I made mention.
I said, ok, well, well, there'sa wreck on the freeway now, so

(36:15):
we're screwed anyways yeah so wego to mcdonald's they're closed
.
Three strikes, you're out.
We're pissed off.
I already almost had to beatsomebody's ass at a gas station.
I'm over it like I'm in pain.
I'm over it Like I'm in pain.
I'm over it.
I'm not the one, don't test metoday.
So we get on the freeway rightout of Castaic and, like a mile

(36:40):
in, yeah, traffic is backed up.
Two hours standstill on thefreeway, closed, I guess like a
big truck, not a diesel, youknow a, not a big rig, but like
a f-350 or a 3500.
You know a dually that wascarrying a, uh, transporting

(37:03):
cars.
It had about three cars ontheir, their their little
vehicle transport, all caughtfire, all burnt down to the
ground.
So, yeah, hey, somebody had aworse day than us.
Yeah, you know, and a lot oftimes you lose sight of that.
You're like, fuck man, I wouldstart pissing and moaning and
everything else, but you're like, hey, in actuality, somebody

(37:25):
had a worse day than us.
We're alive, we have our health, we're gonna be home in a
couple hours.
We have our vehicle.
It hasn't burnt down, you know,um.
So we stopped in fraser on theway back and then finally got
home.
Yeah, uh but talk about vehicles.
Man, that jeep, oh man, ourjeep, is the most temperamental

(37:52):
vehicle in the world.
Now, I didn't help it and mydad always used to say, hey, if
it's not broke, don't fix it.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
But I've always been of the mantra or the thinking
hey, I'm going to make it better.
No, it's not broke, but itcould be better.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
And you know, jeeps are like Barbies or stuff like
that, from barbies to girls asjeeps to boys.
Uh, the customization is almostendless.
Yeah, now, I did everything tomine and I got it the way I
wanted it to look and had toreplace gears and all kinds of

(38:33):
money in it.
But anyways, you know it's,it's lifted way up, has has huge
wheels, tires, has armor allaround, has a tent up on the top
.
Inevitably it's a lot heavierthan it once was.
So you just can't drive it likeyou used to or originally did,

(38:53):
going up a hill you got to takeit easy.
You got to take it easy.
You know them.
Rpms try to jump up on you andwhen those RPMsms jump up,
temperature jumps up and youknow you don't want to explode
an engine or anything yeah,which I've done and that was a
cool little 12 g's or somethingyeah it was not cheap.

(39:17):
It was rough, very rough.
We got some photo booths comingup.
We have a few more DJ events,big ones, little ones, balloons
are really taking off.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Really taking off, especially since we're actually
posting them now.
We weren't really it wasn'treally getting pushed as much as
like geez body works.
Every time I do something Ipost yeah right, and that's to
keep things top of mind.
You know if, if people don'tknow what you do, they're never
gonna be able to ask you foryour services or your products

(39:57):
yeah so um I think that's a winfor me, right, or?
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
I need to post more.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
It's a big win that posting more, getting your name
out there, getting your artbecause it is it's, it's, pure
art.
Getting your art out there isjust beautiful, right.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
And it's it's always wanted events.
When somebody goes to plan ababy shower, balloons are almost
like number one on the list,right.
I mean you have food, maybecatering, maybe stuff like that,
but they also want the decor.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
The photo opportunity yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Yeah, photo opportunities are huge, which is
something that you know we doover at 1933, with a couple
photo booths beautifying things.
You know there is a lot ofphoto opportunity.
Speaking of that, we're alsolooking at a videographer,
photographer, you know, again,local talent to sing, perform,

(41:00):
do whatever and really just keepgrowing that thing.
Yeah, that's a pretty good one.
The balloons is a big win.
The CRM software, honeybook,getting all of that set up,
getting all of our invoices, allof our contracts, all the CYA
stuff, but also thatprofessional touch, you're able

(41:26):
to provide somebody an invoicefrom a legitimate piece of
software with your letterhead,with your logo, with everything,
and it's legit, right.
And that's not to say that youcan't conduct business via
Instagram DMs or via FacebookMessenger or text message.

(41:47):
And yeah, hey, sir, I got you,zelle me $150 to secure your
date, the remainders due a weekbefore.
You know that kind of thing.
But I think that almostpigeonholes people, right?
Yeah, I think that almostpigeonholes people right yeah,
to a certain it's not ademograph per se, but to the

(42:08):
public right.
When you start working withbusinesses, you need and and
just send you 150 via zelle orcash out.
Right, they're not so don't,don't pigeonhole ourselves.

(42:33):
Look, I'm still gonna do the,the facebook messenger, text
message, stuff like that forpeople, if, if, that's how they
operate, I don't care.
But I also want to haveeverything ready for the huge
corporations, companies,businesses, people that need to
uh, you know, account for thingsand write things off and and do

(42:55):
all of that.
So that's a, that honey book,the posting, all of those are
very, very big things.
Our friends, people that we'veactually rented to, people that
we've actually decored for, um,those that's also very important

(43:16):
too, because they're gonna,they're gonna send business yeah
, they're to send business.
Yeah, they're going to sendbusiness.
We don't really have any.
You know we're thinking aboutgoing live on the podcast
eventually.
Yeah, probably video podcasteventually, but probably
initially it'll probably just begoing live on Facebook or

(43:40):
Twitch.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
You can see us, you can interact with us, hang out,
talk shit, ask questions.
We can do some polls and thingslike that.
Get a little bit moreinteractive with y'all.
Some giveaways, some prizes,stuff like that.
What else have we got going on?

(44:03):
You know what?
Let's talk about a littleculture.
Let's talk about the shoe game.
Yes, let's talk about the shoegame.
Now, we are, I don't know if Isay, pretty big fans of YouTube,
but we like to watch a lot ofYouTube and just let it run.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Right, you know it's mindless, I can work.
I can work on music, I can workon health care epic career.
I can work on content.
I can work on a lot of thingswith in this instance I'm going
to say Rami the Icon.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Cool Kicks.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
We watch a lot of it.
Now the funny thing is I wouldnever spend over $300, probably
on some Jordans or some whatever.
It's just not my thing, rightnow you want you tell me to
spend, you know two thousanddollars on all this podcast

(45:07):
stuff.
Yeah, no problem yeah I'll getsome podcasts.
Yeah, I'll get some dj stuff.
I'll get some stuff that willvision wise think, will
eventually help business, helpmake money yeah that's the only
time I really spend moneyanymore is if I have thought it
out and I say you know what?

(45:28):
That's gonna help xyz, orthat's going to make money yeah
um, otherwise I really don'tspend that money.
But then again I do spend thatmoney because we have five
daughters who all want Jordans,jordan 4, concretes, this and

(45:49):
that, and pink and purple andcolorways and whatever else, and
I think it's usually alwaysJordan 4s.
But I think they like a few ofthe other models too and those
things like $500, stockx,wherever you pick them up from,
because you're trying to getlegit ones right.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
And these kids know.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Oh yeah, the kids know, they know if the color's
slight Again because we watchCool Kicks.
Yeah, and Rami, and what's theother cat's name?
I love him too.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Oh, I know the guy with the curly hair yeah, I
always call him jack harlow.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
he does look like him .
I mean, look, he don't looklike him really.
It's just because he's whiteand he has curly hair.
Yeah, you know, that's why he'squote, unquote, jack harlow.
Um, but they go through andthey, they, they inspect these
shoes that people are trying tosell them and they'll be like,
okay, well, the color's slightlyoff.
They teach you the label on thebox the font is a little too

(46:50):
thin, they don't smell right.
They tap, they hit the bottomof the sneaker and they'll say
if it sounds like a cantaloupe,it's good, but if it sounds like
a watermelon, it's not.
Something like that and there'sall kinds of shit that goes into
it for them to be able to covertheir asses and make sure that
they're not getting forgeries,fakes.

(47:11):
Personally, if I ever get someJ's, some Jordans, some SBs,
bricks, whatever dunks, I'mgoing to get a Nike don't get
mad at me a Jordan don't get madat me but I'm going to get the
knockoffs.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Because I'm not going to worry about creasing my
fucking shoes, I'm not going toworry about walking pigeon-toed
or putting little crease guardsin and all of this other shit or
someone stepping on them.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah, I mean we're at places where there's a lot of
people.
It's going to happen, yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
And it's not worth getting shot or stabbed or
anything else like that for.
A pair of fucking shoes not mything, man, but yeah, so a
little hypocritical.
We buy them for our daughtersbut we will not do it for
ourselves.
And that's not to say we don'tspend money on ourselves in
other areas, because wedefinitely do, um, but again,

(48:08):
most of my shit is business.
You know, most of the money Itry to spend anymore is business
.
I don't know that I haveanything like look, look, I got
turntables.
I got like three controllers.
Do I need four controllers?
No, I don't need fourcontrollers.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
Do you want them?
Yes, yeah, I mean, why not?
You know, it's nice to have abackup.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Nice to have a few rigs, nice to even be able to
help one of your boys out if oneof his goes down or breaks or
whatever else.
And it's nice to have a setupthat is static.
It stays where it stays.
You don't want to have to look.
If I just want to play somemusic right now, I can literally

(48:50):
walk over to the laptop, openit up, turn the turntables and
mixer on and go to town.
A lot of people don't.
They don't have that.
And they have to go set theirstuff up, break it down, put it
back up everything else, and bythat time I'm tired.
I don't want to do it now.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Yeah, no.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
But if it's already out, yeah, I'm rocking on them.
I'm going to rock on them, yeah.
So what else did we have thatwe were going to go over?
We talked about the shoes.
We talked about the shoes.
We talked about.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
We got some.
Oh, man yeah we got another onethat's kind of going a little
bit back.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
But hey, but it's all right.
You know this is random, thisis a random podcast.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Let's talk a little bit about charity.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Now at the beginning of this year, and generally
throughout our lives, we alwaystry to be charitable.
We always try to give back,donate, you know things of that
nature.
Sometimes, sometimes, it getsto a point where you feel that

(50:02):
it might be getting takenadvantage of.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Because there's other charitable organizations that
we work with that gladly pay.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Now, obviously we give them a great discount, you
know, sometimes upwards of threehundred dollars discount Right
discount.
Sometimes upwards of $300discount right, and we're only
collecting 100, which is finebecause we're still giving back.
That 100 will cover our gas toand from our time, and that's
about it.
We're not really profitinganything, and it doesn't always

(50:37):
have to be about profit andmaking money and things like
that when you give back.
Other times you work with acharitable organization and they
want it completely free, whichagain, that is okay too.

(50:58):
There's nothing wrong with that.
However, sometimes it feelslike it gets taken advantage of,
sometimes it feels like a bitmuch and sometimes you kind of
wonder.
You know there's income cominginto these charitable
organizations, right?

Speaker 1 (51:13):
And it's because people talk yeah, people talk
and they give themselves out,and they give themselves out.
You know, they basically starttalking about all the money that
is being put into this and that.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
And it's like, oh okay, so you couldn't give us
$100 for gas.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Yeah.
So that's getting a little, Iwouldn't say, out of hand yet
we're going to handle it.
Take care of it, make sure thatwe're, you know, doing our due
diligence and homework.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
And I think you know it gets us to the point where
we're going to have to limitourselves.
Hey, we're only going to do 10this year.
That's it.
Yeah, yeah, because it's work.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Yeah it absolutely is .
You have to squeeze it in, youknow, and a lot of those
charitable things are duringweekdays even right middle of
the week, tuesday afternoon,like well, do you understand
that that means I have to takeoff of my work and my job?
Marion has to take off of herwork and her job, and one of us
or both of us are going to haveto go over there, set things up,

(52:22):
leave, come back.
Break it down, leave, go home.
Right and again.
Well, I just got done talkingabout this jeep.
The thing gets 11 miles agallon.
All right, that's nobody else'sproblem but my own.
Um, but yeah, I gotta at leastcover my basic expenses yeah I'm

(52:49):
not trying to make money off ofeverybody and charity and
things of that nature.
But yeah, so at the beginningof the year we don't do new
year's resolutions in theclassic sense of New Year's
resolutions.
We create plans.
We don't just have goals, wedon't just have resolutions,

(53:12):
because if you don't have plansfor those things, they're junk.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
They are what they are right Like.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
I want to lose weight .

Speaker 2 (53:20):
Okay, what's your plan?
Are you going to start meal?
All right.
Are you going to start mealprepping?
Are you going to start?
What are you going to do to dothat?
Right?
What are the four steps thatyou're going to take to try to
achieve that quote-unquoteresolution?
So, anyways, me and Marion,every year we get together and
we figure out our priorities.

(53:42):
She'll get a big sheet of paper.
I'll get a big sheet of paper.
I'll put my top 10 things thatI think I want to achieve or
accomplish this year.
She'll put her top 10.
And then we'll mix those badboys together in creating a top
10 that has both of our stuff.
And we like to revisit that listI wouldn't say frequently, but

(54:07):
we keep it top of mind because,you know, it's something that we
know we can scratch out.
Yeah, we accomplish something,we completed something, we, we
did something we set out to do.
So, six months, in June, july,we're here and we start going
through all of them and we havebeen.

(54:28):
You know again, not to soundcocky or to our own horror, but
we have been wildly successfulat accomplishing and achieving
what we set out to do.
Yeah, we were able to knocklike 20 things off of our list
and once we do that, then wereevaluate right.
We reevaluate Now how importantis the remaining items?

(54:51):
What do we need to redirect ourfocus and energy on?
What do we need to add to thelist?
What do we need to remove fromthe list?
So we got there and we'reknocking that out already as
well.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
That's going very, very well and I've never been
that person right, that's beensuper organized and goal
orientated, All of that stuff.
But there is something towriting something down on a
piece of paper yeah and creatinga plan for each one of those

(55:31):
things and keeping it top ofmind, having a picture of it in
your phone, putting it up on thewall in your room, somewhere in
your shop, wherever it may be,so you can just keep looking at
it every day when you wake upand like, okay, what do I got
next?
let's, let's yeah let's knocksomething else out and it gets a
little addicting.

(55:52):
Um, it's a little addicting forme to to do that, because you
see progress and you're like, ok, I know how to make progress
finally.
So it's a, it's a nice thing.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
It doesn't matter how big or how little it is.
It's just an accomplishment,it's a goal.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
And that's why I try to preface it is.
I'm not trying to brag or soundcocky or anything Shit.
Some of the stuff on the listwas like hey, pick up after
yourself.
It's just like hey, hey,there's some of the simplest
things, right?
Yeah, now look, that's not.
Hey, we have some huge thingson there, but we also have some
very, very small things that wejust feel will make our lives

No, I didn't spoil, I just saida human emotion called anxiety.
You're the one that said, ohyeah, a character comes out and
the name's anxiety.

shit for people.
People get mad.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
It's been out long enough.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Hey, but not everybody has had the ability.
Hey, we're talking about oureconomy.
Not everybody's been having theability to go spend some extra
money in this economy.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Between gas and food.
Hey, we're doing good tosurvive at this point, yeah, oh
hey, let's not forget aboutelectricity and the amount of
money PG&E is trying to rakeCalifornians or whoever over the
.
I mean just raking them, andyou know, you've kind of seen it
coming with solar andeverything else.

(58:22):
Pg&e is not going to want tolose money and you know, you
kind of seen it coming withsolar and everything else.
Pg&e is not going to want tolose money.
You know, because you know 70of 50, 40 I don't know what the
numbers are people areconverting over to solar right,
so now they don't have thatenergy bill, they're paying a
solar company, and they'repaying a solar company much less
than what their energy bill was.
Yeah well, you think pg&e'sjust gonna lay back and be like

(58:43):
oh cool, yeah, we're making lessmoney now no they're gonna
charge you more, yeah, yeah,they're not going to.
Same thing's gonna keephappening with fuel.
All these electric cars, uh,the hybrids, the hydrogen
hybrids, uh, all of these otheryou know alternative fuels that
are coming out.
Do you think all these oilcompanies are gonna be like,

(59:05):
okay, yeah, well, we had a goodrun.
Our, our time is coming to anend.
No, gas is gonna go to six, goto seven, go to ten.
A lot of people don't understandor know that in european
countries, gas prices areexorbitant, like ridiculous ten
dollars and above for a liter orwhatever they, I don't know,

(59:27):
they're a royale with cheese.
You know why they call it aroyale with cheese?
Because of the metric system.
You don't even know what I'mtalking about right now.
I just made you watch the moviepulp fiction.
Oh man, come on, look at thebig brains on bread.
You know what they put onfrench fries in amsterdam

(59:55):
instead of ketchup mayonnaise?
That's john travolta rightthere.
Um, yeah, we watched that.
We watched the new bad boysmovie.
Look again, and I've said thisprobably on almost every single
podcast.
I don't like will smith, Idon't respect the guy, um and it

(01:00:17):
.
It shouldn't bother me as muchas it does, but I don't like and
it shouldn't bother me as muchas it does.
But I don't like a man of hisstature doing what he did to
Chris Rock.
I mean, it might as well havebeen a female up on the stage
that you're slapping the shitout of.
That's how I view it.
You don't hit a woman and youdon't hit a little nerd.
Chris Rock's a little nerd.

(01:00:38):
Will Smith man this dude's beenripped for all kinds of movies,
just jacked I Robot, I AmLegend, ali, bad Boys.
Dude's always jacked.
He's a big dude.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
That was a good movie .

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
It was Very good movie and again I have to side
with Marion on this one.
You can't really get rid of hiswork his catalog.
His work ethic yeah you can'treally get rid of that.
And look humans, people, theymake mistakes.
So, yeah, I need to ease up onthe guy a bit.

(01:01:16):
He's made a mistake, he triedto apologize.
Whether or not somebody elseaccepts that apology or not, you
you can't control that.
You can control what you cancontrol and that's you
apologizing, recognizing you didsomething you shouldn't have
done, yeah, being remorseful forit.
You know, whatever it may be,but yeah, very good movie and I

(01:01:37):
won't.
I won't dive into it and Iwon't look.
No, I'm gonna tell you thereason I'm not gonna dive into
it because as soon but I want totalk about it.
No, I'm going to tell you thereason I'm not going to dive
into it, because as soon as I do, you're going to spoil shit for
people again.
You can't be trusted.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
Oh man.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
What is his name?
Lil Reggie.
Oh yeah Lil Reggie, chitty,chitty, bang, bang.
Hey Lil Reggie, I'm glad he'sstill in the movie.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
That's all we're going to say, chitty chitty bang
bang, chitty chitty bang bang,motherfucker.
It was a good movie.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Yeah, anderson Paak and the Free Nationals going on
tour.
We are definitely gettingtickets.
We are definitely going.
Love, love Anderson Paak.
He has that funk.
It's not just hip-hop, it's notjust rap, but he has that funk,

(01:02:28):
that funky bass, that groove,that groovy, funky hip-hop.
It is just amazing.
So we got to go see Andersonand he'll be up and down
California so we might be ableto watch him a couple times.
Yeah, just go hang out, have agood time.

(01:02:49):
Maybe, invite somebody.
Maybe take a couple people.
We'll see yeah, that didn'tsound very Actually everybody
listening.
Sorry, you motherfuckers arenot invited.
I don't know if you heard thatin marion's voice or not, but
she was like we'll see.
That means no, that meansgordon, you, you fucked up.

(01:03:10):
You're not inviting anybody.
I'm like okay, am I wrong?
Tell me maybe no, no, no.
Let the people know.
The people want to know, thepeople deserve to know why you
won't let them come with us togo watch Anderson.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
I think my thing is I don't like to be on other
people's time.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
No, we don't have to be.
You're not coming in ourvehicle, but we can go to the
show together and then go ourseparate way, right, I don't
care if you go in late.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
I don't care if you go in late, I don't care if you
go in early, like, but we canhang out at the show.
Yeah, there's nothing wrongwith that?

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
yeah, you know who I think would love to go?
Who becca?
Yeah, yeah, from off the railsshe, yeah, that's, that's kind
of her style, her genre.
You know, it looked like shelikes the della soul and all the
old school hip hop, but Ireally think that some of the
jazzy, groovy, funky Anderson,paak, schoolboy Q, mac Miller,
all of these artists, I thinkthat's the good stuff currently.

(01:04:15):
Right, I don't do this trippyred and some of this other junk
that I don't really have a greatappreciation for.
Hey, but again, as DJs, we playmusic for other people not for
ourselves If we played music forourselves.
I don't know how much of a crowdI'd have, because I'd have a

(01:04:35):
whole bunch of reggae, a wholebunch of afro beats and a whole
bunch of that groovy HendersonPack, mac Miller, schoolboy,
khaled, all kinds of all overthe place.
I'd be playing Fortunate Son.
I'd be playing 70s andeverything else, funk oldies.

(01:04:56):
I'd be all over the place.
Oh true, open format right.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
Cumbias, you know, merengueengue salsa, bachata
mashups.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
I'll be playing all of it yeah, and I love all of it
.
You know what I want to knowwhat?
Where did drake go?

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
hey man, never been a fan, never been a fan.
Um, I think he looks goofy forone.
I'm not sure why women thinkhe's Babe.
You don't say things like that.
He looked goofy as hell.
He looked like a turtle orsomething.
He has a weird face, babe.
But beyond that, a common triedto tell people, like 15 years

(01:05:36):
ago, that Drake was a punk.
People been you know, but hehas it figured out.
I can't hate him for thebusiness side of it, right.
And Mac Miller didn't like himeither huh, did it all without a
Drake feature.
Uh-huh, that's one of his linesin one of his raps.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
I did it all without a Drake feature.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
We don't need Drake.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
I know, but where'd he go, he, we don't need Drake,
I know but where'd he go?

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
He has disappeared.
Kendrick Dunn bodied him.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Bodied, buried Dunn.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
But then again, arguably, where's Kendrick now?
Yeah, like, did they need eachother?
No Well, where's Kendrick now?
Is he on the next song, on thenext album?
Like kendrick's always beenkind of quiet yeah you know he
has a couple albums and then youknow people trying to make that
, that argument about, uh, theamount of platinum and triple
platinum and quadruple platinumand whatever other terms are

(01:06:45):
used for Drake and his success,yeah, and it's like hey, man,
you're talking about quantityover quality.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
It's like there's a big difference.
Right, there's a hugedifference.
And look, I'm going to piss alot of people off for this one
too.
I'm not a fan of LeBron.
I don't like LeBron as abasketball player.
As a human being, it sure seemslike he's a great human being,
great human.
He's not in the news cheatingon his wife, beating on his wife

(01:07:17):
, fucking hookers, doing drugs,beating his teammates' asses do
anything right.
Of course you got Coach LeBronright.
He's a coach of every team.
He plays on right and he'sprobably gotten plenty of
coaches and players fired andeverything else.

(01:07:37):
But look, number one scoringokay.
But look, number one scoringokay.
But how about all the otherstats?

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
you're talking about quantity over quality.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
Yeah, all right.
I mean, you're talking aboutlebron with a couple rings, you
know um, you know building thesesuper teams and shit.
I still stick with kobe I stillstick with Jordan and I'll
still stick with, like AI orPenny Hardaway or.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Tim Duncan, right Tim Duncan.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
I'd stick with a whole bunch of other players
that stuck it out with theirteams, developed chemistry, grew
overcamecame, stuff like that,not people that run from team to
team, been trying to buildsuper teams and stuff like that.
I'm not.
I'm not a fan of it.
So, yeah, you have the scoringtitle, but you don't have the

(01:08:35):
championship title or severalother titles.
So I mean, if that's what yourgoal was, hey, hey, that's his
goal.
I can't argue with his goal.
I don't like him as a baller.
Don't like him All right.
