Welcome back to Beyond the DJ Booth Podcast.

00:00:26.437 --> 00:00:31.184
I'm Brian B and this is Joe Bunn Jr.

00:00:31.184 --> 00:00:32.167
Welcome back.

00:00:32.167 --> 00:00:32.988
Did you miss us?

00:00:33.429 --> 00:00:33.871
We missed you.

00:00:33.871 --> 00:00:36.265
I mean, it's been seven days I missed you.

00:00:36.265 --> 00:00:37.850
That's a lie.

00:00:37.850 --> 00:00:40.424
We're the Batch Kings.

00:00:40.566 --> 00:00:42.713
Yeah, we've been shooting all day.

00:00:42.713 --> 00:00:44.606
We've been shooting all day Eating Chick-fil-A.

00:00:44.606 --> 00:00:45.807
Oh yeah, kings, yeah, and this we've been shooting all day.

00:00:45.807 --> 00:00:46.948
We've been shooting all day eating chick-fil-a.

00:00:46.968 --> 00:00:48.549
Oh yeah, it's been a day, it's been a day we talked to janai.

00:00:48.549 --> 00:00:49.110
We did talk to a banker.

00:00:49.110 --> 00:00:50.612
Try to give him below me some money.

00:00:50.612 --> 00:00:54.235
We've had a busy day, busy day, busy day, bro, good ass.

00:00:54.256 --> 00:01:04.308
Chick-fil-a though that was good premium, as we say premium chick-fil-a experience anyway, talk about your head sweating uh oh yeah, yeah, you know that right.

00:01:04.347 --> 00:01:10.173
I did not know that you have hair yeah, but I mean you're saying, I mean ask, ask the people if it's a common thing.

00:01:10.173 --> 00:01:14.626
I mean, like, does this ever happen to you ball-headed people, or close to ball-headed people?

00:01:14.626 --> 00:01:18.423
Does anything vinegar based make your head sweat while you're eating?

00:01:18.423 --> 00:01:25.266
So like I had that buffalo sauce on the nuggets and then also ketchup has vinegar in it.

00:01:25.266 --> 00:01:27.040
It makes my head sweat, it's an odd?

00:01:27.421 --> 00:01:31.921
yeah, I don't know, but he has hair but you're saying it doesn't happen to you because you got your hair cut short.

00:01:31.981 --> 00:01:34.808
Now, man, no head sweats, nah, but do you eat vinegar?

00:01:34.808 --> 00:01:40.013
I like buffalo sauce, not really, but no sweating out of the head I'll take notice next time.

00:01:40.112 --> 00:01:47.477
Okay, asking the audience, just a texture swap anyway, what's up with you, dude?

00:01:47.938 --> 00:01:50.974
I thought we'd just kind of mix it up a little bit okay, what's happening today?

00:01:50.974 --> 00:01:52.262
So a little icebreaker today.

00:01:52.262 --> 00:01:54.650
Oh yeah, all right, so this is gonna be.

00:01:54.650 --> 00:01:55.191
Who said it?

00:01:55.191 --> 00:02:01.329
Oh jesus, do you think this is an a-list dj or just the random x, which would be like what was twitter?

00:02:01.650 --> 00:02:09.715
okay random x guy oh, okay like just some random person you think not random like x as in like, fill in the blanks like somebody on twitter.

00:02:09.795 --> 00:02:10.437
Somebody on twitter?

00:02:10.558 --> 00:02:17.501
but just a random not a celebrity right or an a-list dj said yeah, okay, so I got a couple different ones okay, so you ready?

00:02:17.501 --> 00:02:18.102
Yeah, I'm ready.

00:02:18.201 --> 00:02:23.247
So number one would be you don't drop the base, the base drops you.

00:02:23.247 --> 00:02:28.314
Is this a real dj, a lister, or is this random?

00:02:28.314 --> 00:02:29.116
Yeah, shout out.

00:02:29.116 --> 00:02:29.721
Dj.

00:02:29.721 --> 00:02:30.924
Underscore for life.

00:02:30.924 --> 00:02:34.111
Underscore 69 wow so it is fake.

00:02:34.393 --> 00:02:36.939
It is a fake, a lister okay, all right.

00:02:36.939 --> 00:02:41.490
Number two would be if you're standing in the booth, you're doing it wrong.

00:02:41.490 --> 00:02:43.193
I have to agree with this.

00:02:43.193 --> 00:02:43.620
A lister, a lister.

00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:44.300
You are correct, you know who.

00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:44.722
Uh, what a lister.

00:02:44.722 --> 00:02:45.062
It is any ideas?

00:02:45.062 --> 00:02:45.763
Yet a fat boy slim.

00:02:45.763 --> 00:02:47.144
You're doing it wrong, I have to agree with this A-lister.

00:02:47.163 --> 00:02:47.645
A-lister, you are correct.

00:02:47.645 --> 00:02:48.725
You know who, what A-lister it is, any ideas.

00:02:48.746 --> 00:02:50.508
Getta Fat boy slim back in the day.

00:02:50.508 --> 00:02:55.973
Interesting Number three I once dropped sandstorm four times in a row just to see what would happen.

00:02:55.973 --> 00:02:56.774
They loved it.

00:02:57.074 --> 00:02:59.941
I think it's an A-lister being an asshole Fake.

00:02:59.941 --> 00:03:00.782
Oh, oh okay.

00:03:01.062 --> 00:03:05.147
But anybody who has the guts to do this, much respect Right.

00:03:05.228 --> 00:03:07.711
It sounds like something like Dylan Francis would do.

00:03:07.711 --> 00:03:08.432
Yeah, totally.

00:03:08.673 --> 00:03:08.973
All right.

00:03:08.973 --> 00:03:12.567
Number four A DJ is not just playing music.

00:03:12.567 --> 00:03:15.546
A DJ is controlling the entire universe.

00:03:15.546 --> 00:03:18.203
For a moment in time, it's got to be A-List.

00:03:18.544 --> 00:03:19.407
It is an A-Lister.

00:03:19.407 --> 00:03:21.844
Hold on, it's not a Tiesto, is it?

00:03:21.844 --> 00:03:22.006
It's?

00:03:22.006 --> 00:03:30.383
Not Tiesto on, it's not a tso is it's not tso.

00:03:30.403 --> 00:03:30.805
Geta, it is geta.

00:03:30.805 --> 00:03:31.265
Wow.

00:03:31.265 --> 00:03:32.027
So what are you?

00:03:32.027 --> 00:03:33.651
You're two for two for three, I think.

00:03:33.651 --> 00:03:34.715
So, all right, I don't mix songs, I mix emotions.

00:03:34.715 --> 00:03:36.598
I still feel like it's an a-lister, is it?

00:03:36.598 --> 00:03:36.699
No?

00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:37.783
Oh, something.

00:03:37.804 --> 00:03:45.471
You see this on like a dj's inspirational instagram right, right, right, with like a sunset in the background or something like that.

00:03:45.471 --> 00:03:48.167
You don't want to shout out the guy that said it or did you?

00:03:48.347 --> 00:03:50.722
did a brian b no, it's not me, no, it's not okay.

00:03:50.722 --> 00:03:54.455
All right, number six if people aren't dancing, just turn it up louder.

00:03:54.455 --> 00:04:06.349
Works every time, jesus, gotta be a random it is random, okay, yeah, but sounds like good advice red line it out so good gear corner.

00:04:06.349 --> 00:04:08.612
Okay, you're going abroad soon.

00:04:08.612 --> 00:04:09.854
Okay, we've talked about this.

00:04:09.854 --> 00:04:18.228
Well, one of the worst things about being on a plane is you have to have, like, your headphones hooked into the entertainment console yeah frustrating.

00:04:18.247 --> 00:04:20.533
Yeah, come with this little bad boy.

00:04:20.533 --> 00:04:23.485
You keep your bluetooth locked in.

00:04:23.485 --> 00:04:28.463
You bluetooth it to this little eighth inch airpods works with the airpods.

00:04:28.463 --> 00:04:38.461
It's by airfly is the name of the company you just charge this little rig up usbc yeah yeah, you just plug it in and you connect through bluetooth and you can do this on any airplane.

00:04:38.461 --> 00:04:41.149
But right, you know, because the ones they give you, so they're so cheap.

00:04:41.269 --> 00:04:42.319
They're garbage they don't.

00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:49.994
Half the time they don't even work, you're pulling it apart no noise canceling this is the move damn cuz so this is on my amazon cart.

00:04:49.994 --> 00:04:51.021
What do you think it goes for?

00:04:51.382 --> 00:04:55.752
uh, I think this is 24.99 pretty close 29.99 okay so under 30 bucks.

00:04:55.853 --> 00:04:57.504
Yeah, worthwhile investment.

00:04:57.504 --> 00:04:58.105
I love it.

00:04:58.105 --> 00:05:03.384
Man, I'm getting one of these yeah, you gotta get and actually they make them too where you can have to connect oh, nice, nice.

00:05:03.404 --> 00:05:09.084
So if you're a partner, you don't have to give your pod Just say connect to it.

00:05:09.084 --> 00:05:15.709
Yeah, that's crazy, because when you're trying to watch a movie Right, I do believe on your iPad, you can connect two sets now.

00:05:15.709 --> 00:05:27.281
Yeah, from what I remember of AirPods, but when this is for the built-in screen, back of the seat, experience with the eighth inch jack and I haven't tested it to the limits to see when it will.

00:05:27.562 --> 00:05:29.288
It's worked for a four-hour flight, right.

00:05:29.288 --> 00:05:32.447
I have yet to have it die on right right, you haven't gone european with it.

00:05:32.607 --> 00:05:35.439
No, so I don't know how well, I'll put it to the limit.

00:05:35.538 --> 00:05:49.630
Yeah, see, if it goes, I think I've got a six hour uh to paris, but this goes in the bag at all times, every flight you just feel like your, your, your, your backpack may weigh 200 at this point, but you're prepared exactly, we, uh, are batching this as always.

00:05:49.630 --> 00:05:52.819
Yeah, so we were at the djc recharge.

00:05:52.819 --> 00:06:06.264
Yeah, we were in phoenix, which was a cool hotel, number one, I love the spot you did a great job, picking that out by the way everybody told me they're like this is such a djc like pick as far as hotel, they thought you did it, though.

00:06:06.384 --> 00:06:07.791
Yeah, they were trying to give you props.

00:06:07.812 --> 00:06:08.596
I know I could.

00:06:08.596 --> 00:06:09.319
I didn't take a credit.

00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:09.882
I didn't take it.

00:06:10.043 --> 00:06:12.072
I said they were like brian b picked this hotel.

00:06:12.072 --> 00:06:16.788
I was like, nope, I I actually did it this time it was, I was out in arizona in august.

00:06:16.968 --> 00:06:21.826
You steered me to a few yeah, I think I may have recommended this you did because you sent me the picture.

00:06:22.005 --> 00:06:24.891
Yeah yeah, At the check-in desk there's a giant picture of Burt.

00:06:24.891 --> 00:06:25.653
I think that's Burt.

00:06:25.733 --> 00:06:26.353
Reynolds yeah, yeah.

00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:33.689
From like the 70s, with the stash and all the body hair Laying out Just like laying out with like a fur loincloth or something on.

00:06:33.769 --> 00:06:34.050
Yeah.

00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:38.983
It's very odd, like welcoming I mean, I'm saying it's 12, 15 feet long.

00:06:39.285 --> 00:06:41.990
Oh, the layout of the space, though, was cool.

00:06:42.009 --> 00:06:43.632
Shout out Foundry Hotel Phoenix Arizona.

00:06:43.632 --> 00:06:50.353
They were so nice, if you ever go super good people, great room for meetings, great meeting space, great bar.

00:06:50.353 --> 00:06:56.610
Dude, I'm going to tell you this, the food at that hotel was better than any hotel food I've ever had.

00:06:56.610 --> 00:06:57.172
I would agree.

00:06:57.172 --> 00:07:00.315
I had breakfast there, I had lunch there the pizza was solid.

00:07:00.336 --> 00:07:01.000
I had dinner there.

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:02.521
I had a burger the day I left.

00:07:08.370 --> 00:07:09.293
Coffee was solid.

00:07:09.293 --> 00:07:10.497
Coffee was solid.

00:07:10.497 --> 00:07:11.822
Little bitty pool.

00:07:11.822 --> 00:07:12.685
That was kind of cool.

00:07:12.685 --> 00:07:14.975
Yeah, I had a great time at the recharge.

00:07:15.156 --> 00:07:37.624
If that was the last one, it was a great way to go out I know you were presenting a lot, but like if there was any nuggets, you took what was like your one or two takeaways that you could say you, you came back going hey, I need to do this, or you know, man I mean I love to see somebody like eric rhodes talk, you know, or speak about just his journey with tiktok and instagram and how big that he's gotten on there and the prices that he can kind of command.

00:07:37.663 --> 00:07:44.141
Now that's very inspirational to anybody that watches, yeah, or to anybody that's putting stuff out on the internet.

00:07:44.141 --> 00:07:48.819
You're a few videos away from changing your career and or life.

00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:50.663
I think malik is so good man.

00:07:50.663 --> 00:07:59.081
He's just he's very raw up there, but he just he's not a volume king like I am, but he's almost like a cinematographer or a director.

00:07:59.081 --> 00:08:08.452
He's very scorsese type, you know, yeah, I for what he wants to create and even something that self-admittedly he'll say is was not cool.

00:08:08.452 --> 00:08:16.266
He can make it look cool, whether it's because he's in it and he knows how to dress and how cool he looks, or just the way it's shot.

00:08:16.266 --> 00:08:17.187
You know what I mean.

00:08:17.187 --> 00:08:20.555
He's just got really good people surrounding him capturing content.

00:08:20.555 --> 00:08:29.401
The last day, instead of coming back to Florida, he borrowed somebody's bun gear command center and went up on some rooftop and just started shooting a mix.

00:08:29.401 --> 00:08:33.058
I think he hired the videographer that was shooting our stuff from the day before.

00:08:33.179 --> 00:08:35.235
Oh he may have and then talk to somebody in Arizona.

00:08:35.235 --> 00:08:36.479
It's like hey, you got a command center.

00:08:36.658 --> 00:08:36.779
Yeah.

00:08:36.970 --> 00:08:38.235
Put it up on the roof at this hotel.

00:08:38.235 --> 00:08:39.754
I'm gonna go up there and shoot some content.

00:08:39.894 --> 00:08:40.557
Oh, that's cool.

00:08:40.616 --> 00:08:56.538
I mean the dude is he thinks bigger than just like the quick one off reels that I've kind right I'd go from.

00:08:56.538 --> 00:08:57.984
You know cutting up cars and fireworks and all this stuff to like, hey, man, hand me that little pocket osmo camera right there and I'll just start right and shit in my office, right?

00:08:57.984 --> 00:08:59.284
Neither is right, neither is wrong, right?

00:08:59.284 --> 00:09:01.807
I mean it's just he's in that chapter of life, right?

00:09:01.866 --> 00:09:04.056
now where he's making some bangers, totally anyway.

00:09:04.096 --> 00:09:04.537
What about you?

00:09:04.537 --> 00:09:04.999
What would it?

00:09:04.999 --> 00:09:05.980
What did you love?

00:09:06.551 --> 00:09:15.741
two things, I think one was I always forget the value of those small, intimate shows which it seems like it's kind of like that's the trend right now going in that I feel like it yeah.

00:09:15.741 --> 00:09:22.763
I probably connected with more people in that three day span than I usually do at the bigger ones, you know what I mean.

00:09:23.049 --> 00:09:29.592
Like it was so cool just to like put a name and a face to people that I've seen online on our mentoring stuff or whatever.

00:09:29.592 --> 00:09:31.817
And now we're like having a face-to-face conversation.

00:09:31.817 --> 00:09:35.703
I love that and you know, you just pick up those little nuggets in those hallway conversations.

00:09:35.703 --> 00:09:45.202
And I think the other thing that we got questioned on and we tried to give some value there but I felt like challenged was the AI side of things.

00:09:45.202 --> 00:09:49.274
So in my coaching group, which we have, I decided I'm making it an every month thing.

00:09:49.274 --> 00:09:53.360
We're all going to kind of go in on this and every month kind of present what are we using an AI?

00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:54.423
What are we looking at?

00:09:54.423 --> 00:09:55.524
I think it's the future.

00:09:55.544 --> 00:10:04.700
We got to start kind of moving towards that direction of, you know, leveraging these tools to make our life easier, make it better, be streamlined, business efficiency, whatever the case may be.

00:10:04.700 --> 00:10:10.081
And there's like things coming out every day Like we think music's coming out at such a clip every day.

00:10:10.081 --> 00:10:13.850
It's only a matter of time until ai kind of does the same thing.

00:10:13.850 --> 00:10:16.970
You're just going to be like there's so much out like I don't even know where to start.

00:10:16.970 --> 00:10:21.467
So I kind of want to be ahead of that trend and try to be moving it forward that way.

00:10:21.467 --> 00:10:22.631
So those are the two things I grabbed.

00:10:22.631 --> 00:10:26.240
But it was great, weather was great 80 degrees every day.

00:10:26.259 --> 00:10:29.333
I mean, yeah, I had a ball man, maybe it's not the last one.

00:10:29.374 --> 00:10:31.980
But it's the last one for a while, for a little while, for a little while.

00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:33.682
Yeah, djs, real talk.

00:10:33.682 --> 00:10:40.340
Are you tired of trying to figure out the DJ business alone, struggling with pricing, bookings or just how to stand out?

00:11:07.605 --> 00:11:08.225
Let's hit the question.

00:11:08.225 --> 00:11:09.854
Okay, we got a two-parter today.

00:11:09.854 --> 00:11:11.318
Okay, all coming from YouTube.

00:11:11.318 --> 00:11:13.177
So thanks for watching everybody.

00:11:13.177 --> 00:11:18.831
Thanks for watching on YouTube.

00:11:18.831 --> 00:11:23.241
These kind of relate back to an episode which we talked about COIs and insurance, but I think these are going down different paths for each of these.

00:11:23.241 --> 00:11:26.559
So number one this is from Maddie D555.

00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.191
I'd really like to hear more about your insurance situations.

00:11:30.191 --> 00:11:33.538
I'm actually having a horrible situation with workers' comp right now.

00:11:33.538 --> 00:11:34.779
Is that something you guys carry?

00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:36.663
I'm being forced to carry it by the state of New York.

00:11:36.663 --> 00:11:38.417
Any advice would be so helpful.

00:11:38.417 --> 00:11:41.571
We just dealt with this also, I think, on our mentoring call recently.

00:11:41.812 --> 00:11:45.601
I remember someone was funny Like you said that I'm like did we not answer this?

00:11:45.601 --> 00:11:48.052
But I guess like it was a different audience.

00:11:48.052 --> 00:11:50.836
Yes, On the mentor call Anyway.

00:11:51.216 --> 00:11:52.817
Can you explain my answer?

00:11:52.817 --> 00:11:59.264
Yeah, new York and New Jersey are beasts, and California too, that's right, like those three areas work more common.

00:11:59.285 --> 00:12:00.147
Don't have around yeah.

00:12:00.289 --> 00:12:09.458
You got to basically get an expert involved, right, and you don't want to be paying penalties because, those things are hefty anchored in Florida.

00:12:09.698 --> 00:12:20.794
If you are an S-corp or I think there's one other category of business that gives you the ability to apply for an exemption for workers' comp and you, as the owner, don't have to carry it.

00:12:20.794 --> 00:12:25.191
Now, if I have employees, that's different and we don't have employees.

00:12:25.191 --> 00:12:28.799
We have 1099 folks, so I don't have to get it for those guys at all.

00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.611
Now, if they want to get it on their own, great.

00:12:30.611 --> 00:12:41.620
But as far as my business is concerned, I do not have to insure anybody who is not an employee and because I'm the only employee, I can be exempt from it as the owner of that type of business as an S-corp.

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:42.602
What about North Carolina?

00:12:42.602 --> 00:12:43.630
Same thing, I'm doing.

00:12:43.770 --> 00:12:44.572
That's what I was told.

00:12:44.572 --> 00:12:46.274
My people are 1099s.

00:12:46.274 --> 00:12:47.836
I don't have workman's comp for them.

00:12:47.836 --> 00:12:50.159
I don't think I have it for myself I do.

00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:51.381
I looked this up the other day.

00:12:51.381 --> 00:12:53.024
I think it was actually on.

00:12:53.024 --> 00:12:56.638
I don't think it was the mentor call, Maybe it was at the DJC Maybe it was at the recharge.

00:12:56.638 --> 00:13:07.154
We were talking about the disability insurance and it's pennies on the dollar really for how much it costs and it's strictly for I walk out of here and slam my hand in the door by accident or something I can't work.

00:13:07.835 --> 00:13:13.686
It basically pays me for X number of months or whatever, as I'm getting hand surgery or rehabbing or whatever.

00:13:13.686 --> 00:13:14.768
I think that's important.

00:13:14.768 --> 00:13:16.618
I do have that, as always.

00:13:16.618 --> 00:13:19.044
Please just consult with local experts on this stuff.

00:13:19.044 --> 00:13:23.886
It is so easy to pick up the phone and dial up a local insurance agent.

00:13:23.886 --> 00:13:25.500
This is what they do for a living.

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:32.489
They will literally give you tons of free advice because they make mailbox money on you buying a policy and keeping that policy.

00:13:32.715 --> 00:13:37.356
So they're happy to talk to you, help you and probably sell you a policy all in the same phone call.

00:13:37.356 --> 00:13:43.480
So please don't listen to two assholes that are sitting up here possibly doing something wrong for your particular area.

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.856
We are doing what we think is right for our business in our area.

00:13:48.057 --> 00:13:48.457
Part two.

00:13:48.457 --> 00:13:50.059
I hope you have the answer to this, because I don't.

00:13:50.059 --> 00:13:54.424
Can you guys up stuff on cold sparks, licenses, insurance needs, etc.

00:13:54.424 --> 00:13:55.405
Thanks guys.

00:13:55.405 --> 00:13:57.908
And who wk h entertainment?

00:13:57.908 --> 00:14:01.539
Dash, we don't need the whole was the other one, the entertainment company taken.

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:05.759
I guess you had to go with the hyphen you have cold sparks, you're getting cold sparks.

00:14:05.899 --> 00:14:06.301
I got them.

00:14:06.301 --> 00:14:10.078
They're in that closet right there so are you checking the licenses?

00:14:10.119 --> 00:14:11.380
did you do all that beforehand?

00:14:11.982 --> 00:14:14.207
Yes, I did everything you're supposed to do.

00:14:14.207 --> 00:14:22.586
The problem is, the state of North Carolina wants you to have what's called a proximate audience operator license.

00:14:22.706 --> 00:14:23.388
What's this cost?

00:14:23.388 --> 00:14:24.089
I don't know.

00:14:24.370 --> 00:14:25.677
You know why Didn't get that far?

00:14:25.677 --> 00:14:35.578
Because there's not even a fucking class scheduled, and every month I've got the lady at the North Carolina Insurance Association, or whoever is in charge of this.

00:14:35.578 --> 00:14:36.503
I email her.

00:14:36.503 --> 00:14:38.811
Hey, deanna, it's Joe Bunn again.

00:14:38.811 --> 00:14:41.438
Any classes scheduled for this operator's license?

00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:43.363
No, so then she goes.

00:14:43.703 --> 00:14:48.783
Maybe you can hit up some of the people on this list that have the license and they're authorized to teach the class.

00:14:48.783 --> 00:14:49.585
Did that?

00:14:49.585 --> 00:14:53.384
Got Randy to ping every fireworks operator in the state of North Carolina?

00:14:53.384 --> 00:14:55.201
Zero response, Wow.

00:14:55.201 --> 00:14:57.600
One guy said can't help you, I'm retiring.

00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:58.602
That was the only response.

00:14:58.602 --> 00:15:02.123
Wow, so they don't want to help us because they probably don't want us to do it, Right?

00:15:02.123 --> 00:15:07.216
So then I start talking to people and I'm not going to name names, don't panic on the podcast.

00:15:07.236 --> 00:15:31.620
If you're listening, if you're listening of people in North Carolina that are friends of ours, Right, that have been firing them off for six years no license, no troubles and or they're also saying that there is a gray area of what is considered a public firing and a private facility, which is normally what we are playing in Almost every place that I play.

00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:32.903
I can name all the venues.

00:15:32.903 --> 00:15:36.381
Whatever are privately owned, they're not public facilities.

00:15:36.381 --> 00:15:41.745
Now, the audience is technically public, but they're saying that this is private property.

00:15:41.745 --> 00:15:43.448
You're firing them on, so you don't need it.

00:15:44.035 --> 00:15:48.647
Now listen, they could be lying just to justify firing it off, but I was trying to really get down to it.

00:15:48.647 --> 00:15:51.485
To be fair and again, this is a North Carolina thing.

00:15:51.485 --> 00:15:58.639
I don't want to speak about where your WKH Entertainment is Like.

00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:12.558
Wherever you are, you need to get on the phone with somebody and find out if you need a pyro license Like just Google pyro license of Utah or whatever and get on the phone or start sending emails and figure out what you need before you purchase these, Because, to be honest, I have not taken them out, never fired them off, Don't know that I am.

00:16:12.558 --> 00:16:14.260
Now I'm like kind of second guessing it.

00:16:14.461 --> 00:16:17.203
But what happens if you book it, because I'm sure you're pre-selling this?

00:16:17.484 --> 00:16:20.307
I would probably sign up or refund it.

00:16:20.307 --> 00:16:23.048
Anybody want some cold sparks For sale?

00:16:23.048 --> 00:16:27.535
Four batteries, four cold sparks I don't know, man, I feel uncomfortable.

00:16:27.535 --> 00:16:39.783
I thought by the time that they arrived I would have solved this issue, gotten a license, and then my understanding is that people can be underneath your license, like I could go Saquon, go fire these off.

00:16:39.783 --> 00:16:41.662
He's under my license, got it?

00:16:41.662 --> 00:16:43.581
I'm not even sure that's the case.

00:16:43.581 --> 00:16:45.160
Like he may have to go to the class too.

00:16:45.495 --> 00:16:48.183
This might be worth running through your attorney too.

00:16:48.183 --> 00:16:50.058
Yeah, if you're going to offer this to make sure.

00:16:50.058 --> 00:16:50.701
What about florida?

00:16:50.701 --> 00:16:51.442
Do you know anything about?

00:16:51.442 --> 00:16:52.807
I don't, I mean, can I just?

00:16:52.826 --> 00:16:57.299
sell them to you and you ship them down I might need to, because in florida, they y'all can do whatever you pretty much.

00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:58.803
Yeah, I mean remember the pandemic.

00:16:58.803 --> 00:17:01.559
They were like we ain't closing oh no this is the sunshine state.

00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.164
Nobody gives a shit about florida I don't.

00:17:04.184 --> 00:17:08.500
If people are listening from florida, I won't say it, but like they're rogue down there.

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:09.501
There's a lot of people who run them.

00:17:09.501 --> 00:17:10.804
They're rogue down there, there's a lot of people who run them.

00:17:10.824 --> 00:17:14.409
They're rogue, yeah, and they don't seem to be the type that would be getting licenses and insurances.

00:17:14.849 --> 00:17:16.373
Neither do you, though you seem a little shifty.

00:17:16.373 --> 00:17:17.875
Oh no, no, no, you seem a little shifty.

00:17:17.934 --> 00:17:19.459
Buy the book on this dude.

00:17:19.459 --> 00:17:22.646
I would have to be All right, they'd come after me, it would be my luck.

00:17:22.646 --> 00:17:36.667
If you find, just saw my cold sparks, there we go anyway.

00:17:36.667 --> 00:17:37.111
Shout out both lighting.

00:17:37.111 --> 00:17:37.766
They make the best cold sparks.

00:17:37.766 --> 00:17:38.343
By the way, they're not a sponsor of the podcast.

00:17:38.343 --> 00:17:38.468
Who is a sponsor?

00:17:38.468 --> 00:17:38.626
Did we talk about them?

00:17:38.626 --> 00:17:39.161
Yeah, no, who is the sponsor?

00:17:39.161 --> 00:17:39.704
