We kind of like, it's nothingreally crazy.
My co-manager, one of my boys,Tim, who I manage S with, calls
me and he was like, yo, um,they're best friends with Carl
Anthony Towns on the Knicks.
And he was like, Yo, Kat justcalled me and said that they

(09:35):
Is that when you went to NewYork?
No, no, no.
This was out here.

SPEAKER_01 (09:37):
So he wasn't playing for the Knicks at the time.
He was still in Minnesota.
He was still in Minnesota.
This is before the trade.
And um, yeah, he was in LA.

SPEAKER_02 (09:46):
So we were like, I was like, I was like, yeah.
Didn't even talk to him.
I called him, I was like, look,bro, this is the play, you doing
this shit.

SPEAKER_00 (09:53):
You don't got a choice.

SPEAKER_02 (09:53):
You're like, you gotta do it, bro.
So we're like, all right, cool.
We go up there, whatever, have agood ass time, he kill it.
They were like, yo, we about todo an after party.
You want to come do the afterparty too?
Boom, did the after party.
And then the next day I calledhim in the morning, I was like,
yo, like, I think, I think youshould take this serious, bro.
I think we could do something ofit with it.
And he was just like, Bet, like,what's up?

(10:15):
I was like, yo, like, I don'tknow much about the DJ shit, but
like I'd I would love to learn,bro.
I'm quick on my feet, and likewe can we can figure it out.
And we went crazy after that.

SPEAKER_00 (10:25):
So when this happened, how far into like the
YouTube journey were you?
This was how it started.
How'd it even start it?

SPEAKER_01 (10:31):
Oh wow, like the car Anthony Towns gig he's
referencing is like that's likethat was my first paid gig.
That was like that was that waslike end of 2024.
Um because yeah, Stiz droppedthe album in August, and then
that the release party was inAugust, and that was like my
first time DJing in front of allof my friends at and like really

(10:53):
DJing in front of a lot ofpeople like that, but and then
September was the next month,and then that was Jordan was
birthday party at fucking uhSoho Malibu.
Soho Malibu.
And it was like that was likepractically an eight hour set.
And like that was like that led,I think that gave both of us the
confidence because it was justlike, well, you could do shit.

(11:17):
Do eight hours I could doanything, you know what I'm
saying?
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, what's a two-hour setafter eight hours?
You know what I'm saying?
So that I think that was like,because I feel like that was
probably the most nervous I everwas, because it was like one, it
was like pay gig, didn't evenknow what to charge, didn't know
like no, you know what I mean?
Like, I won't say I didn't knowwhat to play, but uh definitely

(11:39):
just was like, I need todownload more music and all of
these things.
Like my craze wasn't like reallyset up, and like so yeah, just
feeling like almostunderprepared, but just like
nah, I got this, like I could dothis.
Right.

SPEAKER_00 (11:52):
And so yeah, question questions for you,
because you said you were like alittle nervous at first.
So do you feel like there's likea pressure to perform?
Like if you're an actor or uh astand-up comedian, do you feel
that same pressure as a DJ?
Or do you feel like people aremore like tuning into the music?

SPEAKER_01 (12:08):
Yeah, I think I heard Chris Rock say a long time
ago.
He was like, being nervous justmean that you care.
And so I think that like if youcare, then you always a little.
I I think anybody, it doesn'tmatter how bad, I'm sure Justin
Bieber just did Coach Hall, I'msure he was a little nervous.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, and he done he done rockedhow many stages.
It's like I think if youactually care, you're gonna

(12:30):
always want to do a good job.
And so when you're doing a a abig performance or even a small
performance, you're gonna get,you know what I'm saying?
If you care, you're gonna be alittle nervous, right?

SPEAKER_00 (12:40):
No, it's crazy.
I had someone on earlier today,um, and he does some acting, so
that's why I was asking, but hesaid it's actually uh you get
more nervous with a smallercrowd opposed to the big ones.

SPEAKER_01 (12:50):
I would, I would, I could definitely see that
smaller.
Yeah, it's more intimate, it'smore like you're more
vulnerable.
You can't hide.

SPEAKER_00 (12:58):
Right.

SPEAKER_01 (12:58):
You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 (12:59):
So let's say, for example, you're doing the
window.
Do you get nervous with like asmall crowd like that?
Or because it's all for sure,for sure, for sure.
Is it all your people or randompeople too?

SPEAKER_01 (13:08):
Well, when we're shooting it, it's it's usually
our people.
It's like friends.
Um, the one we did in New York,there were a lot of strangers.
It was a lot of people I didn'tknow.
I was, it was more people Ididn't know.
I was than people that I didknow.
Whereas like the one we did atLA, it was like all it was
definitely all of the homies.
But um, yeah, I think it's allagain, like I really like not to

(13:32):
sound like that person, but I docare.
So it's like I do get a littlenervous, but like um I think
when we're shooting, it's alittle easier.
Cause like usually I kind ofknow where I'm gonna go with it.
Okay.
Um, I think it's when it's likeI know that I'm gonna like
freestyle a set, is when I get alittle nervous.

(13:52):
Cause like if I'm DJing fourpeople, I don't plan a set list.
Like, I'm just gonna play to theroom.
Gotcha.
Um, but like if I'm filming awindow, traditionally I'll have
like a playlist that like I, youknow, can can help guide me so
that it's not because it's sucha production to edit and do
that.
You make one mistake, you gottastart over.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like I ain't nobody gottime for that.

SPEAKER_00 (14:13):
But are you saying with the set list?
If you make a mistake, yeah,yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (14:16):
It's like it when we're recording the windows,
like if I make a mistake, likethis needs to flow throughout.
Like, if I make a mistake, wegotta start over.
So it's like, you know, I try tomitigate that by having somewhat
of a playlist, but anytime I'mDJing with if it's not just me,
then I'm not really going off aplaylist.

(14:37):
I'm a I'ma play to try to fitwhat's happening around me.
Um but anytime you see me bymyself, then yeah, that's
usually like a playlist thatlike I come with.
I still might freestyle like onyou know while I'm shooting.
Yeah, like while I'm shooting, Imight be like, uh, I don't think
that song should go next, andthen switch it out.
But like traditionally, I don'tever really go into it with like

(14:58):
a plan set list.

SPEAKER_00 (14:59):
Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01 (15:00):
If I'm DJing like at a club or any any place where
there's people.

SPEAKER_00 (15:04):
Okay.
You can actually uh answer thistoo.
I don't you guys if you everplay outside, you come too, I'm
assuming.
Yeah.
Okay.
So do you have any likeembarrassing moments or like
crazy crowd moments?
Absolutely.
I gotta hear the craziest storyright now.

SPEAKER_02 (15:20):
I'm interested to see what yours is gonna be.

SPEAKER_01 (15:22):
Well, because you might have a different one.
I I'm not gonna say this is thecraziest, but I'm gonna say just
is this one.
This is just the first one thatcame to my mind.
The first one that came to mymind was definitely um we did
like a private thing for like umhis pops.
And bro, it's already sound bro,bro, bro.

(15:44):
To this day, like that that dayhaunts me.
And it was like, you know,everybody's like, he did such a
great job.
Like, people asking me forbusiness cards, and I cannot let
go of what happened.
They so in the party, they hadlike a salsa moment.
And so yeah, so like, you know,they had saucered, like teachers

(16:06):
helping everybody to dance.
Like, it was a fly party.
Like, shout out, shout out Doc,man.
That was a well-curated event.
Um, but the dancer, like theteacher, she had asked me, like,
yo, I need you to have thesesongs preloaded.
And so she was like, Yeah, likeshe was like, I just need a uh

(16:27):
saucer song, a bachata song, andlike let's just start with the
electric slot.
And I'm like, Yeah, bet.
That's easy for sure.
I got all of that.
Um we get to that moment.
It occurs to me right at thatmoment when she tells me to play
electric slot, because she waslike, everybody knows electric
slot, it's and like dancingbachata is and is like

(16:50):
effectively like the basic rootsof that is like the electric
slot.
So I'm like, Bet.
I go to play electric slot, andit hits me like wait, she said
electric slot, not cha cha slot.
And for whatever reason, whenshe asked me to play, did I have
electric slot?
I registered as cha cha slot.

(17:12):
I had never downloaded electricslot.
That was also a mistake on mypart.
Like, why don't you haveelectric slot with karate?

SPEAKER_05 (17:21):
Two completely different dances.

SPEAKER_01 (17:23):
That's like it's not even in the same, like the
tempo, not nothing.
Like, bro, so now I am trying todownload electric slot on the
spot.
This is this is now.
The music is off now.
The music is off.
Everybody's waiting.
Dumb quiet, dumb quiet.

(17:44):
He's like, bro, you gotta playsomething.
He like, bro, you gotta playsomething.
Now everybody there, like, yeah,what's going on?

SPEAKER_02 (17:52):
Like started, like, I heard people whispering and
they like what the music now is.

SPEAKER_01 (17:57):
I need to hear something.
Because mind you, like, they wasall sitting down eating, and
they just made them get up.
Oh, and so now everybody's onthe that is that it wasn't like
there was a full dance floor,and then there's a I cut.
It was like, oh, we stoppingintermission, stop eating, stop
what you're doing, come dance.
And then I ain't got the songready.

SPEAKER_00 (18:19):
So, how how long did that take?

SPEAKER_01 (18:21):
That took longer than it should have.

SPEAKER_02 (18:24):
At least it was probably like two minutes.

SPEAKER_01 (18:25):
It felt like even 30 seconds, like an hour.
Okay, that's a long time.
But it was probably 60 toseconds to a minute.
You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 (18:34):
It was probably like the king that goes by in
silence.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (18:38):
They were cool the first like 15 seconds, they were
cool.

SPEAKER_01 (18:40):
Yeah, so like a little glitch.

SPEAKER_03 (21:15):
Yeah, the way he's going down.

SPEAKER_02 (21:16):
So shout out to Busy, shout out to Dougie and
the rest of the team.
But they asked us if he could doit.
Obviously, like that's ano-brainer, you gotta do it.
He was up there for a while too.
He DJ'd for how long?
Like four hours?

SPEAKER_01 (21:31):
That was a long time.

SPEAKER_02 (21:32):
Yeah, that one was probably like that.
No, it might have been four.
It was the most labor-intensiveone for sure.
Up up until that point.
So this you know, this project,the Cactus Jack fans are like
insane, like crazy.
They like die for this.
So the album's coming out andit's like around like midnight,
so it definitely like is out.
So I like walk up to him at thispoint.

He was like, yo, like, I'llJosh, like, yo, I'll hype the
crowd, whatever.
And he was like, no, don't worryabout it.

Like, all right, bet.
So, bro, out of nowhere, bro.

SPEAKER_01 (22:54):
It was like, bro.
Thank thank God he told me totry to find a way to download

Cause I would have died on thehill of, oh nah, I'm not doing

They said Chase doing it.
And so because the album likejust came out.
Like it was like, it's onlybecause what?
I think it was it strikemidnight, but it was like 9 p.m.

(23:16):

But it probably was a littlepast that at that time.
Yeah.
They probably got midnight.
Yeah, so then it was like wecouldn't get the file.
So then I just went, I found oneperson that had uploaded the
album for download.
So I download it.
Um just to have it.
But I didn't even put it inSerrado.

(23:37):
Cause I'm like, they're not,it's not, they're going to do a
transition, right?
Chase gonna come up, becauselike he said, I asked busy.
I'm like, yo, if you want me todie, he's like, nah, don't worry

Chase gonna do that, get thecrown rolling down.
I'm like, bet.
Bro, I'm just DJing.
I'm like, I'm just keep playingsongs.
Just keep playing the songs.
You know what I'm saying?
Not gonna do too much of likehis bigger songs, because I'm

(23:59):
like, I know they probably gonnause those songs to get the
crowd, like when they beforethey play the new album, they're
gonna get the crowd going withthe hits.
So I'm not gonna play all theI'm not gonna play all the hits.
I'm gonna just play, you know,cactus jack music.
Man.

SPEAKER_00 (24:12):
As soon as you put it on.

SPEAKER_01 (24:14):
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm just DJing.
Oh, just DJing.
And I'm waiting for them totransition me out to be like,
yo, his D, like Travis's DJ isgonna come off stage, and then
they're gonna do a realintroduction, like, yo, here's
the new album.
But he had you just I look to myleft, Travis Scott right here,
like, turn this shit the fuckoff, play Jack Boys 2.
Mind you, nobody sent me Jack'sBoys 2.

(24:36):
So I'm like, oh, okay.
And then like as I'm trying toturn it up, mind you, I didn't
put it in Serrata, so I'm tryingto put it in Serata.
He like, I said, turn this off.
Play Jack Boys 2 right now.
Man, listen.
Mind you, I don't know a song.
I don't know what song to playfirst.
I don't know nothing.
It just came out.
I don't know what's slapping.

SPEAKER_02 (24:55):
I don't know what's not slapping.
But credit to him, bro.
Like, he's playing like whateverhe plays.

SPEAKER_01 (25:00):
The I think it was the first song they they had
dropped a song like a day or twobefore.
So he played.
That was like an intro.

SPEAKER_00 (25:06):
Download it in the moment?

SPEAKER_03 (25:07):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (25:07):
Yeah, I downloaded it on my off my hotspot because
it wasn't in there.
We in the middle of nowhere.

SPEAKER_03 (25:12):
Yeah, we in the middle of nowhere.

SPEAKER_01 (25:14):
Middle of nowhere, bro.
Like, we're not in LA.
We not in LA.
We are East California.
Like, we not in LA.
But um, yeah, like download itoff the hot spot, throw it in
there.
I play that song, and thenthat's when he was like, you
know, the crowd goes crazy, likehe's talking about.
And then Travis, like, um playkick out, which was like one of

(25:37):
the songs that like had leakedthat fans was going crazy to
finally hear, and like they wasdropping, and so I'm like, bet,
and he was like, yo, actually,you about to switch with Chase.
And then he's like, you knowwhat?
Nah, play kick out, and theny'all switch.
And so then I play kick out, andthat crowd goes nice.

SPEAKER_02 (25:55):
But bro, like he's nice with it, like with the
transition?
Cause like, bro, like we didn'thear it, so like you don't
really know how to liketransition to it.
You're kind of just doing it offfeel.
And like he did it, and like wecaught it like on video.
When our homies caught it onvideo, and we caught that on
video, and like once he like didit, and it's like all you just
see is like everyone like travellooking around smiling, like
everybody going just startturning up.

(26:16):
Yeah, just went crazy.

SPEAKER_01 (26:17):
Because both of the songs was like in similar tempo.
So once he told me, because Iplayed the intro song, and then
he was like, play kick out, andthen when I saw it, was like,
oh, this is the same tempo.
I'm gonna just lock it in sothat when I drop it, it's a
seamless drop.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
It's not really much space inbetween when I transition a
song.

SPEAKER_00 (26:35):
So when you're playing, you're hearing the song
queued up in one ear, right?

SPEAKER_01 (26:39):
Yeah, and then I didn't even have it, I just had
my phone.
I just listened to it, but I betI just heard it like I bet.
And I could see the wavelength,so I'm like, oh, the song starts
right on the beat.
Like, it don't got no intro.

SPEAKER_00 (26:50):
You did it perfectly.

SPEAKER_01 (26:51):
Yeah, so I'm like, the song ain't got no intro, it
just starts.
I'm like, okay, bet we justgonna drop it.
So I faded out of the next songand dropped it.
And then when I dropped it, itthat's where it's like that's
when the homie caught the videoof the perfect like transition
of that.
You gotta send me the Travis getturned up.
Yeah, we got to get it.
Yeah, like Travis get turned up,everybody gets turned up, and
like that's so did they keep youon?

SPEAKER_00 (27:10):
Nah, they switched to you.
No, no, we switched, weswitched, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (27:12):
We switched, we switched because Chase, you
know, that's his DJ, and likeChase going, you know, he knows
what to play.
Yeah, it just it just is moreseamless having them do it
together.
It was just I was supposed tojust be the opening DJ.
But like, that's the story of mylife, right?
Like that's the first story,like with Stairs.
It's like I was supposed to bethe open DJ next thing you know.
Oh man, you're just like I'mdoing the whole year.
Ended up doing eight hours aday.

(27:33):
Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 (27:34):
So it's like that's that was that was what's like
the once you start to pass likean hour, two hours, like how do
you how do you kind of makebecause even like you know, if
you work a normal job, you know,you're at work for four hours,
you start to get drained.
Like, how do you maintain that?

SPEAKER_01 (27:49):
Um, like like not getting bored or something?

SPEAKER_00 (27:52):
Uh not getting bored, uh keeping up with the
crowd, um, just pushing throughthe fatigue, whatever it is.
Repassado?
Yeah.
Reposado.

SPEAKER_01 (28:02):
I'm not drinking right now.
No, but um, reposado helps.
Quiet is kept.
We're not promoting alcoholism.
Um but you know, it it depends.
Like, I think in usually I'mfine.
I feel like it hits me thenights where it's like I'm like
tired, I didn't really sleep, orlike it's like been a number of
nights stacking on each other.

(28:23):
So then that last or like thatweekend he was talking about,
like when we came back and hadto do the Super Bowl, like I was
fighting through that because Iwas still sick.
And it was like, and that was atwo-hour set, and it was just
like just getting off.
I had flu in, we flew in thatmorning, and it was just like it
was it was a lot.
So like times like that, it'sjust it's really just man, it's

(28:44):
just doing the job.
I think it's just yeah, just thelove of the game.
It's just like sometimes youjust gotta lock in and be like,
listen, it'll be over before youknow it.
Like so that's valid.
Yeah, that's that's really it.
Like, but sometimes it isreposado.
Sometimes it sometimes it reallyis reposado.

SPEAKER_02 (29:02):
Um yeah, for like a while that was like kind of like
our thing.
Like every starter like said,like, you know, like some people
have like handshake, whatever.
Like our thing is like we cheersa little reposado, be like, yo,
see you on the other side andlet him rock out.

SPEAKER_00 (29:12):
Damn, yeah.
You know what's crazy?
I got a boy who DJs and he don'teven drink.

SPEAKER_02 (29:16):
Yeah, I mean he's just those are probably like I
would say like people that workin nightlife.
I'm not surprised.

SPEAKER_00 (29:21):
But he's fueled off a Red Bull, so that's uh that's
his own thing.

SPEAKER_01 (29:23):
He gotta he gotta slow down off that, but like,
yeah, it's that's my dog.
Yeah, you know, it's it is athing that I mean that's why
I've I've actually taken a stepback from drinking a little bit,
because it's it's an easy thing.
Yeah, you drink for free, right?
Like that's the thing.
People come come see me DJ andthey're like, you need anything?

SPEAKER_00 (29:41):
No.

SPEAKER_01 (29:41):
Yeah, do you need something?

SPEAKER_00 (29:42):
I got a bottle.
I respect it though.
It's harder to turn that down.

SPEAKER_01 (29:46):
And I and I respect people offering that, but it's
like that's the thing.
It's like it's it's an easy trapto fall in because you literally
drink for free.
It's like it's the one job whereit's like you don't gotta worry
about it.
You know what I'm saying?
Like exactly.
Like, that's what even stoppeople from drinking sometimes
is how much money is about tocost them to keep drinking.
You know what I mean?
So it's like if you ain't if itdon't cost you now, they handing
you a bottle, handing you twobottles, handing you three

(30:07):
bottles, like, oh yeah, havefun.

unknown (30:09):
Shh.

SPEAKER_01 (30:09):
You know what I mean?
If you don't, yeah, it adds up.
Take a toll on your body.
Yeah, so you know, it it isshout out to people that do the
job that can still do the job.
Because I I know there's otherpeople that like you can
convince yourself that you needthat to do the job.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, whether it's like youtrying to work off the nerves or
like you tired and you trying tokeep yourself up, it's like I I

(30:32):
I felt that for myself too, oflike, oh damn, like am I am I
not feeling the vibe enough ifI'm sober and everybody else in
here and drunk?
You know what I'm saying?
But it's like, nah, it's youdon't need that to get the job
though, you know what I'msaying?

SPEAKER_00 (30:43):
Like um if you're good at what you do, you love
what you do, then it's cool.
You know, for sure.
If you want to do it here andthere, have fun.
Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 (30:50):
It's like you know, I ain't done.
I ain't I ain't I ain't doneforever, but like, you know, you
gotta in moderation, you knowwhat I mean?
Catch yourself, you know what Imean?
Because it's like it is taking atoll on your body, and it if
this is your career, it's gonnabe a lot more nice like this.

SPEAKER_00 (31:04):
Facts.

SPEAKER_01 (31:04):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (31:05):
You know what's funny, uh same thing.
You can ask Britt, because shecame out a long time ago.
And when we first started this,um, man, we were drinking.
I I remember our very firstepisode.
We almost 200 episodes in.
Yeah.
Very first episode, we had abottle of handy on the table and
just like and continue doingthat probably like the first 25
episodes.
Um made y'all stop.

(31:25):
Like, was there we're just likealright, we want to continue
doing this.
We didn't necessarily need it,but it was just like it started
as having fun with the boys.
We started during COVID, so it'slike and then I'm like, I'm
thinking about the future.
I'm like, bro, I can't beepisode 200.
Yeah, drinking hardly.
That's why we transition towine, so like if we want to have
something, something light, butI'm like, bro, I can't be

(31:47):
drinking reposado every week.

SPEAKER_01 (31:50):
Yeah, it does take a toll, and it's like, yo.

SPEAKER_02 (31:53):
And if like we got late nights sometimes too, so
like you're drinking on top oflike not really sleeping, bro.
You might be alright that firstday, and then it's like you
know, it takes you out, bro.
Trust me.

SPEAKER_00 (32:05):
So that's me on this trip right now.

SPEAKER_01 (32:07):
So it's like, you know.
Had a long night last night.
It adds up, you know.
And sometimes, again, like toyour point, it's like sometimes
that's what gets the partystarted, right?
Like, y'all probably wouldn'thave even gotten to 20 episodes
had had it not been for anybodyjust getting y'all in the groove
of like trying something new.
You know what I mean?
Like, but then after you getyour rhythm, it's like, all

(32:28):
right, what do we actually needhere?
Like, we don't need that.
You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 (32:31):
So it's like that was more so for the guests.
It was like the who makes themcomfortable because it's an
experience for y'all too.
Exactly.
Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 (32:37):
And and and a lot of times it can, again, it can help
people loosen up.
So, like, right, you know, I I'mnot gonna act like I have I
didn't use that as a crutch, butit's like I think it's just
about recognizing when you knowwhat I mean, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 (32:51):
So all right we're gonna play a little game.
All right, it's game time.
Can you hit that green buttonone more time?
Yeah, it's game time.
We playing a little overrated orunderrated.
And we played this before, butwe never played a DJ edition.

SPEAKER_02 (33:07):
Okay.

that.
Yeah, no.
For sure.
I'll be out, I'll be out there.
LA could be overrated.

SPEAKER_00 (34:07):
But it's not really a nightlife scene here, right?
It's more like events, houseparties.

SPEAKER_01 (34:11):
Yeah, for sure.
But I'm saying an LA house partycould be overrated.
It could be underrated.
Okay.
Depending on the NY could beunderrated.
For sure.
Underrated.

besides Jersey, is there a statewhere they're like, all right,

Dallas, Texas.

SPEAKER_02 (35:05):
Dallas, Texas.
Without, because it's like themid, like mid-tier, like I hate
saying the mid-tier, but likemid-level cities.
See how they do?
Nah, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 (35:14):
I don't know what you said, man.

SPEAKER_02 (35:16):
What I'm saying is not like a major big city, like
a New York, an LA, Atlanta, aMiami, like something that's
like a smaller hub.
Like, shhh, you know what I'msaying?

SPEAKER_03 (35:24):
Okay.
Those I feel like they have themost value.
They get down to Dallas.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
For sure.
What about you?

SPEAKER_01 (35:30):
I wasn't outside in Dallas.
I ain't know.
I just worked in a lot ofcities.
I ain't never get to party, man.

SPEAKER_00 (35:36):
Well, you host a party in a way.

SPEAKER_01 (35:38):
Yeah, no, I just work.

unknown (35:40):
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (35:41):
Have you ever seen a crowd in a city that's like,
nah.

SPEAKER_01 (35:45):
I don't even like people.

SPEAKER_00 (35:46):
So you you won't even see the people.

SPEAKER_01 (35:48):
You just numbers for you.
I would say if I had to pick acity that I don't think I've
been in a city that like I slepton and they like surprised me.
I think they usually live up tothe expectation.
I'm like, yeah, this placesucks.
I thought this place was gonnasuck, and it sucks.
Which one suck the most?

(36:08):
Um that's a really goodquestion.
Uh what was a what was a stopthat I was just like, I don't
think so.
Oh, no, it's I'm gonna behonest.
I'm gonna keep it stacked.
I'm not gonna say I thought thisplace sucked because the way
everybody talked about it waslike it was lit.
I went there twice in the lastyear.

(36:30):
I ain't moved.
Hit me with it.
Austin.
I am very moved by Austin.

SPEAKER_03 (36:34):
I had fun at Austin.

SPEAKER_01 (36:35):
Yeah, I'm not.
I had fun the first time.
I keep hearing, but like I mademyself have fun.
There's a difference between youhaving fun because you got a
good attitude and and like itwas actually fun.
You see what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 (36:46):
Like so let me let me ask you though.
When do you feel like youcompare your fun to like other
cities?
Like if you go to like Austin,are you comparing it to New
York?
Are you comparing it to no?

SPEAKER_01 (36:57):
Not at all.
I had a lot of fun in Boston mylife.
Because I feel like and it doesnot compete.

SPEAKER_03 (37:01):
Boston is a fun at the city, though.

SPEAKER_01 (37:03):
Any of the fun that I've had in LA and New York,
that it don't even light acandle.
But I I will only speak good onBoston, you know what I'm
saying?
Because of the time that I'vehad there, but like it don't
light a candle by far, it wasnot the most funny candle.

SPEAKER_00 (37:14):
But you just specifically remember when it's
not a good time, it sticks withyou.

SPEAKER_01 (37:17):
Well, it's just more so like everybody talking about
Austin being lit.
And and again, I have not beenthere like that, like that.
So like take this with a grainof salt.
Like, I was there both times forwork, didn't much that have much
time to party.
But like, bruh.
Nah.

SPEAKER_00 (37:35):
Bruh.

SPEAKER_02 (38:20):

So I haven't I haven't been ablelike really get a full like I
went to Dallas, but I went to uhGiants versus Cowboys game.
So I wasn't really likeexperience all of it.

SPEAKER_01 (38:36):
So y'all take this with a grain of salt.
I'm not trying to love me.
I'm not trying to kick stomp onAustin.
I just in a little bit of timethat I've been there, I ain't
been to Wavies.

SPEAKER_00 (38:46):
You know what?
Maybe they need to put us on.

SPEAKER_01 (38:47):
That's what I'm saying.
A little joint tour, that's whatI'm saying.
We need to go down there.
Show us where it's at.
Put that in the comments.
Where is the vibes at the nexttime we're gonna come out?
I get some barbecue and vibes.
Because I have some TerryBlacks, though.

SPEAKER_04 (39:02):
You know what I mean?
Barbecue.

SPEAKER_01 (39:04):
Because that's what they're known for.
We're not even about to go downthis rabbit hole, bro.
Alright, let's get another one.

SPEAKER_00 (39:11):
So um, what's a good one?
Uh I said this before, butoverrated, underrated festival
crowds.
You ever perform for festivalcrowds?

SPEAKER_01 (39:22):
Underrated.
Underrated.
Okay.
Underrated.
Strong, strong, understanding.
Underrated.
Strong and strong.
Underrated.
Underrated.
Underrated.
That is by far underrated.
What's the biggest crowd youperform for?
I don't know how many peoplewere in that crowd, but it was
at a smaller stage at RollingLoud.

(39:43):
Okay.
That was for for sure.
I I did it with another artist.
So it was mainly his set.
I wasn't really DJing.

SPEAKER_00 (39:49):
So that's at least what it was?

SPEAKER_01 (39:52):
At least.
At least.
Um, but like another one where Iwas just DJing was probably like
2,500 people.
Okay.
And that was in San Diego.

SPEAKER_00 (39:59):
Um so is there like a high you get from it when
there's a large crowd?

unknown (40:04):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (40:05):
Yeah, man.
Like I think that is what we allstriving for.
Like that feeling of like, Ikeep bringing up Justin Bieber,
but like that.

SPEAKER_00 (40:16):
We let it be.

SPEAKER_01 (40:17):
You know what I'm saying?
Like that is like, I thinkanybody that's an artist, you're
gonna see that.
I I don't I don't see how youcannot be inspired.
You know what I'm saying?
Especially if you felt somethingclose to that, then you can only
imagine what it feels to haveall of the hundreds of thousands
of people that's probably atCoachella, or whatever the
number is at Coachella is likewatching you and you know what I
mean.

(40:39):
Yeah, it's like come on, man.
Like that, I think that as for aperformer, like festivals as a
you know a fan, overrated.
But like, but as a performer,underrated.

SPEAKER_00 (40:53):
That is would you ever perform?

SPEAKER_01 (40:56):
Say yeah?

SPEAKER_00 (40:57):
Would you ever perform?

SPEAKER_01 (40:58):
Like at a festival?

SPEAKER_00 (40:59):
In general, like because you make music too,
right?
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Like would you take that everytime step away from the mixer
and put on full performance?

SPEAKER_01 (41:08):
Absolutely.
I think that like I can see whyan artist would also say, like,
if you used to doing big crowds,I can see why artists is gonna
say overrated because then themusic can get lost, right?
Like, nothing's like an intimateshow if if it's like, you know,
a hundred uh or like a 200 caproom, right?
Like everybody, you get ifyou're in a 200-cap room, you
can see everybody in the room,right?
Like, so like, but that like isgonna mean more to like Drake,

(41:33):
who like is doing big festivalsor stadiums or whatever, right?
Or like a Justin Bebe orwhoever.
Um, whereas like somebody on acome up, when you do your first
festival or your first likestadium, change the life.
Man, I don't like that's afeeling I can only imagine what
that feels like.
So I think that yeah, I thinkthat performing at a festival is

(41:55):
100% underrated.
Going to a festival, young man'sgame, overrated.
I'm good.
Yeah, that's a fact.

SPEAKER_00 (42:02):
Yeah, I'm I remember uh, well, you was talking about
really loud.
It was in Miami for so manyyears.
Yes, yeah, and uh, oh man, itgot it's nasty hot too.

SPEAKER_02 (42:10):
They do it during the summer, right?

SPEAKER_00 (42:12):
Yeah, like like May.
That's nasty.
In May, it's already humidity'salready out now.
It's nasty.
And I don't it's it's uh I wantto say it's a 16 plus event.

SPEAKER_01 (42:22):
So it you get a lot of festivals are, even
Coachella.
They got kids at Coachella,yeah.
People don't realize it, butlike it's kids.

SPEAKER_00 (42:29):
That's something I didn't know at first.
Yeah, it's kids.

SPEAKER_01 (42:31):
That's why they got a whole beer garden and stuff,
because you can only drink in acertain area.
But yeah, no, it's it's it'skids at most of these festivals.

SPEAKER_00 (42:38):
Yeah, we'll stay with you.

SPEAKER_01 (42:39):
Buy a lot of bit a lot of liability.
So I respect them for takingthat chance because I thought
festival, yeah.
I don't think so.
Yeah, trust me.
Tell little Timmy go toplayground something.
I don't think so.
Okay, go, go, you know what Imean?

SPEAKER_00 (42:54):
