Welcome to Beyond the DJ Booth podcast.
00:00:24.757 --> 00:00:25.783
I'm Brian B.
00:00:25.783 --> 00:00:26.586
One of the co-hosts.
00:00:26.586 --> 00:00:29.147
Next to me is what's up, what's up it's.
00:00:29.167 --> 00:00:31.346
Joe Bunn Yo final episode, season two.
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.448
I can't believe we made it through two seasons.
00:00:33.448 --> 00:00:34.744
I knew we would man.
00:00:34.899 --> 00:00:38.204
We are notorious for like pulling the plug on something every once in a while.
00:00:38.204 --> 00:00:47.095
You want me, but like you said early on, like like season one, you were like you are a good strategist, I know when it's time to pull the plug on something, and I don't think it's a bad thing.
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:48.627
Sometimes it needs a restart.
00:00:48.627 --> 00:00:53.692
It's like I've heard you actually can build momentum when you stop stuff and then restart it later.
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:59.232
Especially if you do it better, faster, cleaner, easier, cheaper, whatever.
00:00:59.232 --> 00:01:01.100
I did it with the DJ booth thing.
00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:03.588
I genuinely thought that was the end of that project.
00:01:03.588 --> 00:01:04.549
And now did it with the dj boot thing.
00:01:04.549 --> 00:01:07.072
I genuinely thought that was the end of that project and now it's got more steam than ever that's awesome, man.
00:01:07.072 --> 00:01:13.777
Different manufacturer, you know different process, different partners, everything we're about to head into event season we are.
00:01:13.777 --> 00:01:16.206
This comes out, this is going to be hitting on what?
00:01:16.447 --> 00:01:19.939
middle of march, so probably april, is when, yeah, kick full throttle.
00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:45.177
Usually uh, yeah, for us okay, I would say that last weekend of march or the first weekend of april is when it kind of really kicks in for us so I was thinking of this icebreaker idea, okay, of drafting your ultimate dj crew, so you being the headliner, okay, and then, beyond that, I'm going to have some specific jobs that you have to fill with, either celebrity people, real people you decide what it is.
00:01:45.177 --> 00:01:52.808
So maybe, like, pull out your phone so I can give you these categories here and what we're gonna do is compare the picks, so I'll come up with one, you come up with one, just write it in there.
00:01:52.808 --> 00:02:00.141
So the first one would be okay, you're the main act as the dj, but you need a hype man, an mc, and this has to be somebody living, like somebody living.
00:02:00.141 --> 00:02:04.890
I know you, I know who you're gonna go with you know, I going Scoop immediately, okay.
00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:06.453
It doesn't have to be a celebrity.
00:02:07.861 --> 00:02:09.747
It could be somebody even on my own team right now.
00:02:09.867 --> 00:02:10.490
Yeah, okay.
00:02:10.490 --> 00:02:14.266
Second would be stage security Somebody to keep things under control.
00:02:14.266 --> 00:02:19.727
Third would be like a tech guru, someone who fixes problems when things go south.
00:02:19.727 --> 00:02:25.849
Two more Social content director Someone to document the things, who would be the person you'd go with.
00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:31.568
One more wildcard Anyone who could just bring chaos or crazy entertainment.
00:02:31.568 --> 00:02:38.324
That would be like a you know late in the evening, or maybe it's early, and you just like a wildcard that people didn't see coming to, like crush.
00:02:38.324 --> 00:02:40.770
Okay, you ready, I like it All right.
00:02:40.770 --> 00:02:41.943
So let's start with the first one here.
00:02:41.943 --> 00:02:43.088
Go ahead, hype man.
00:02:43.088 --> 00:02:45.521
I, I like it All right.
00:02:45.543 --> 00:02:46.326
So let's start with the first one here.
00:02:46.326 --> 00:02:46.688
Go ahead, hype man.
00:02:46.688 --> 00:02:47.292
I had to go with Little John.
00:02:47.292 --> 00:02:48.659
I feel like you know no one's hyping the crowd more than that guy.
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:49.963
No that's a great one.
00:02:49.963 --> 00:02:52.129
As far as someone living, that's a great one.
00:02:52.129 --> 00:02:55.462
If I'm going celebrity, you think DJ Kool still got it.
00:02:55.462 --> 00:02:57.104
That's a good question.
00:02:57.104 --> 00:02:59.887
I haven't heard him much, me neither.
00:02:59.887 --> 00:03:01.588
Those records are still timeless.
00:03:01.669 --> 00:03:02.049
Yeah.
00:03:02.650 --> 00:03:08.294
I mean, he was not as famous as Scoop and wasn't on so many of those records, but I mean, dj Kool killed it.
00:03:08.294 --> 00:03:11.383
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going to go, dj Kool, but you know who I'm going with?
00:03:11.383 --> 00:03:13.265

00:03:42.448 --> 00:03:44.173
I wish we were playing living or dead.
00:03:44.173 --> 00:03:44.932
You know who?
00:03:44.932 --> 00:03:49.468
My favorite would be no dude, and I was watching clips of this other day and was crying.

Okay, I'm going with.
00:04:13.656 --> 00:04:16.843
I saw a video on this dude the other day Unbelievable.
00:04:16.843 --> 00:04:19.117
There's two guys that I've seen videos on recently.
00:04:19.117 --> 00:04:20.452
Either I'm going to go.
00:04:20.452 --> 00:04:25.600
Taylor Swift's bodyguard Okay, makes 1.3 million a year Okay, this dude is legendary.
00:04:25.870 --> 00:04:29.596
Or Messi's have you ever seen Messi's, the guy who ran onto the court?
00:04:29.596 --> 00:04:32.213
Bro, he'll tackle a kid out on a football field.
00:04:32.213 --> 00:04:33.235
Yeah, that's what it was.
00:04:33.497 --> 00:04:34.497
I'm going with one of those two.
00:04:34.497 --> 00:04:37.103
Don't know their names, shout out to whoever their names are.
00:04:37.103 --> 00:04:37.663
How about you?
00:04:37.824 --> 00:04:41.899
I go MMA, I'm going Jon Jones, man you know what I mean.
00:04:41.918 --> 00:04:44.235
You know him, saquon follows that stuff.
00:04:44.235 --> 00:04:46.999
I mean, if someone even thinks about touching my gear.
00:04:47.410 --> 00:04:48.992
He's putting them in a guillotine chokehold.
00:04:49.252 --> 00:04:49.892
It's over.
00:04:49.892 --> 00:04:52.877
I don't know All right.
00:04:53.036 --> 00:04:55.139
Who are you going with for tech?
00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:56.100
You go first on this Cause.
00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:57.122
I'm trying to think of this guy's name.
00:04:57.723 --> 00:05:08.341
I mean I was going to go local, go Ben Stowe Cause I mean I figured this guy would know pretty much anything if I came into a man, that's a great one, but then I thought of that BK BHD, the guy from YouTube.
00:05:08.341 --> 00:05:17.160
Um, I brownlee, brownlee yeah, I don't know he's like massive on youtube and he's always coming up with like three things.
00:05:17.701 --> 00:05:24.677
No, no, not a dj at all, just about a tech about anything and he'll like break things down to like here's three options to fix this or to do that.
00:05:24.677 --> 00:05:26.101
He's always like really good about that.
00:05:26.101 --> 00:05:28.315
So I was just thinking of like a pop culture person.
00:05:28.336 --> 00:05:32.894
That would be decent I feel like any of the kind of dj youtubers would be a good call.
00:05:32.894 --> 00:05:35.982
Ben stoweowe is definitely the best call in real world.
00:05:37.011 --> 00:05:38.588
I thought you were going with him actually, that's why I didn't pick him.
00:05:38.649 --> 00:05:41.379
I'll text him once a week for something.
00:05:41.379 --> 00:05:42.531
Yeah, you know who.
00:05:42.531 --> 00:05:45.177
I also like Anybody from the Apple store.
00:05:45.509 --> 00:05:47.939
I thought you were going to say Geek Squad, no, not.
00:05:47.999 --> 00:05:49.971
Geek Squad Anybody that works in the Apple store.
00:05:49.971 --> 00:05:51.232
Geek Squad sucks man yeah.
00:05:51.232 --> 00:05:52.533
Geek Squad's garbage.
00:05:52.533 --> 00:05:53.494
They're low training.
00:05:53.494 --> 00:05:56.776
Apple, I think, really gives a shit, or at least trains their people.
00:05:56.776 --> 00:05:59.399
Yeah, I don't know how well they pay them, how well they take care of them.
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.701
There's like a special place for them, okay.
00:06:01.721 --> 00:06:03.702
They have their own little playground.
00:06:03.882 --> 00:06:10.952
Okay, because think about it, man, like when you go in there like you're at the lowest of low Phone doesn't work Right.
00:06:10.973 --> 00:06:13.716
Laptop like anyway, social media content person.
00:06:13.716 --> 00:06:14.297
Who you going with?
00:06:14.297 --> 00:06:15.418
Who's shooting your stuff?
00:06:15.418 --> 00:06:16.860
Do they have to be the shooter?
00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:28.711
no, just director, like I'm going, I'm going, malik adigan curate entertainment wow shout out, malik shout out malik and I'll put my secondary backup crew with icon in his okay, okay icon.
00:06:28.711 --> 00:06:32.701
Icon during wedding season makes bangers homely again.
00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:33.663
I kind of went celebrity.
00:06:33.663 --> 00:06:43.072
So mr beast video team, I mean he'll make a crappy wedding look like a million dollar production, you know what I mean and he would actually spend a million dollars to make it.
00:06:43.072 --> 00:06:48.860
Make it totally and he'll give away a ten thousand dollar offer to give away that, that beast game thing.
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:54.536
I saw some interview the other day and just lost millions of dollars I mean he was going to buy tiktok.
00:06:54.817 --> 00:06:56.721
He was on, oh yeah, on the short list.
00:06:56.721 --> 00:06:58.572
So I mean that dude, he knows what he's doing.
00:06:58.572 --> 00:07:00.257
Give me some followers, mr beast.
00:07:00.257 --> 00:07:00.959
Like, hook it up.
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.771
Yeah, shout out, mr beast, all right.
00:07:02.872 --> 00:07:07.031
Yeah, this one's easy for me as much as I would like to put regoza, I have to have both of them.
00:07:07.031 --> 00:07:09.314
I have to have desiree and regoza.
00:07:09.314 --> 00:07:20.396
I gotta go team regoza for when I want to just go like to the next level okay, and I and I don't want to be the closer, I need to be like the one before them, and then they just come in and just rip like a 45 minutes.
00:07:20.415 --> 00:07:22.180
That's a good call yeah they are good.
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:22.680
I'm not.
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.391
I'm going with people I actually know.
00:07:24.391 --> 00:07:26.259
On this one, they're one of one for sure, yeah.
00:07:26.990 --> 00:07:28.396
I went with DJ Khaled.
00:07:28.396 --> 00:07:35.781
Wow, I could one and another one just have him say that like after every show me and davis were laughing at him.
00:07:35.822 --> 00:07:36.403
The other day.
00:07:36.403 --> 00:07:52.194
Davis was watching that video and he's and it was like the video caption was like you never know what this motherfucker's gonna say, and he's like he made like a, like a long putt and he just looks at the camera and he stands there for like 10 seconds, then he just goes gatorade, stupid.
00:07:52.214 --> 00:08:05.923
I was even thinking like maybe there's could be like a, a band or maybe like an act that would go first that's kind of like not that great but good, and then you just crush on top of it so like it actually makes you look better as the headline.
00:08:05.923 --> 00:08:07.951
You know what I mean yeah, I don't know.
00:08:08.132 --> 00:08:11.382
Yeah, no, I thought we were going for just havoc, like they can take it next level.
00:08:11.442 --> 00:08:13.254
Yeah, I think my squad that's good.
00:08:13.293 --> 00:08:16.531
It's pretty solid, but I feel confident with mine as well.
00:08:17.151 --> 00:08:23.202
I'm killing that brian b here, yes, interrupting yet another stellar podcast episode.

Man, I was like dude.
00:09:48.575 --> 00:09:55.457
I got to go back to Europe, and Iceland Air is really on the genius tip right now With this.
00:09:55.457 --> 00:10:01.434
Basically, you can stop in Iceland on the way to Paris for as long as you want and that's your layover.
00:10:01.434 --> 00:10:05.480
Wow, so it doesn't matter if you're there one day or a week.
00:10:05.870 --> 00:10:23.090
Rdu direct flight to Iceland was six hours Six hours and we had like whatever the you know kind of first class type seats were, and then we stayed there like three nights, I think three or four nights, and then there to Paris is only three hours and we had, you know, just Again.
00:10:23.171 --> 00:10:24.475
Iceland air on the second floor.
00:10:24.475 --> 00:10:24.777
Iceland air.
00:10:24.797 --> 00:10:25.519
Yeah, left that morning.
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:26.534
We were there by lunch.
00:10:26.534 --> 00:10:27.399
You know what I mean?
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:29.738
Yeah, and it only goes forward one more hour.
00:10:29.738 --> 00:10:36.789
So, iceland, the time zone difference is five hours and then, once you go to Paris, six hours difference from here in Raleigh Jet lag issues.
00:10:37.030 --> 00:10:40.035
You got on that time zone pretty quick, or were you just dead that first day?
00:10:40.370 --> 00:10:41.976
Man, we just kind of pushed through.
00:10:41.976 --> 00:10:48.693
When we landed in Iceland, it was supposed to be really early in the morning, like 7 am there, because we flew overnight.
00:10:48.813 --> 00:10:49.315
We flew out.
00:10:49.355 --> 00:10:52.897
that night it snowed here, and me and you were like I don't know if you're going to make it out.
00:10:52.897 --> 00:10:57.700
We made it out, one of the few, super delayed, though we sat on the runway for probably two hours.
00:10:57.700 --> 00:11:01.001
I watched a whole movie Because they didn't have.
00:11:01.001 --> 00:11:02.822
You know, we're so unprepared for snow.
00:11:02.822 --> 00:11:06.946
They only had like one de-icing truck Wow, so anybody that wasn't canceled.
00:11:06.946 --> 00:11:11.994
This one truck is basically going plane to plane, de-icing Jeez One of.
00:11:11.994 --> 00:11:13.296
So just welcome to the South.
00:11:13.296 --> 00:11:14.558
It just doesn't snow here right.
00:11:14.599 --> 00:11:17.264
So we finally get out flew overnight.
00:11:17.264 --> 00:11:19.115
They gave you breakfast on the plane.
00:11:19.115 --> 00:11:20.759
Hell yeah, Solid food.
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.796
Ashley messed up.
00:11:22.796 --> 00:11:29.900
She thought you had to pick the meal and I think the fine print was pick the meal if you want a dietary meal.
00:11:29.900 --> 00:11:31.102
It's disgusting.
00:11:31.102 --> 00:11:32.755
Hers was even nastier than mine.
00:11:32.755 --> 00:11:42.878
Okay, but we get there and we just go straight to that Blue Lagoon Spa, which everybody that's been to Iceland was like, oh, tourist trap, tourist trap.
00:11:42.878 --> 00:11:43.971
I'll tell you what.
00:11:43.971 --> 00:11:46.841
The first five seconds I'm there, I saw Danny McBride.
00:11:47.049 --> 00:11:48.395
Yeah, I remember you saying that yeah.
00:11:48.629 --> 00:11:50.414
And then, dude, I'm walking out.
00:11:50.414 --> 00:11:53.241
And we had been there five, six hours went to this.
00:11:53.241 --> 00:11:55.596
You know had an in-water massage.
00:11:55.596 --> 00:11:57.345
Yeah, ate lunch.
00:11:57.345 --> 00:11:59.086
You know we were in the private side.
00:11:59.086 --> 00:12:04.404
So I see why people say the big pool where all the broke people are is like a tourist trap.
00:12:04.681 --> 00:12:05.870
That was like 30 euros.
00:12:05.931 --> 00:12:16.385
Right, we paid a lot of money to be on this private side and we're walking out and we're going back to the locker room.
00:12:16.385 --> 00:12:17.966
We had our own private like changing room and I stopped.
00:12:17.966 --> 00:12:19.548
I was like I know you don't want to say he's B-list.
00:12:19.548 --> 00:12:21.029
In my eyes he's A-list.
00:12:21.090 --> 00:12:26.754
And I'm like this is going to sound fucking crazy, but I think I just saw DiCaprio and she's like you're being stupid.
00:12:26.754 --> 00:12:28.275
And I'm like all right, let's go.
00:12:28.275 --> 00:12:45.855
It was like a loop and I was like let couple and his mom wow, no entourage, no security, nobody's messing with him, so we just plop, literally, dude, when I'm saying his table is where you are.
00:12:45.855 --> 00:12:50.629
And then we had two table, a little table, and we just sat there and had a cocktail, basically sat right there beside dicaprio.
00:12:50.629 --> 00:12:53.565
Yeah, dude, he got up, he was like do y'all want to go for a tour?
00:12:53.565 --> 00:12:56.182
Like talking to his crew, and they were like, yeah, he's like I got it.
00:12:56.182 --> 00:13:02.720
He like walks through the restaurant, puts his shades on in the spa, got a robe on, chilling Like bro DiCaprio's here.
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:09.548
Like okay, so if I fell for a tourist trap, so did fucking Leonardo DiCaprio, and that shit was mind-blowing.
00:13:09.548 --> 00:13:14.327
And then everybody like he got up and finally left and everybody in the restaurant was like did anybody get a pick?
00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:19.464
And Ashley's trying to like low-key sneak him and I was sitting there going, man, leave that man alone.
00:13:19.484 --> 00:13:24.768
Yeah, yeah, I'm like he's you know like imagine how much harassment he normally gets.
00:13:25.028 --> 00:13:25.849
I'm like play it cool.
00:13:25.849 --> 00:13:29.631
Would you say that that was kind of like the pregame to the real deal, which was it was man.
00:13:29.652 --> 00:13:32.514
But everything in Iceland we saw was mind-blowing dude.
00:13:32.514 --> 00:13:33.676
It's like Mars.
00:13:33.676 --> 00:13:35.677
It is so wild.
00:13:36.740 --> 00:13:37.260
Look cold.
00:13:37.301 --> 00:13:40.066
It wasn't that cold man and you know I hate being cold.
00:13:40.066 --> 00:13:41.047
Yeah, you don't like to be cold.
00:13:41.047 --> 00:13:42.109
It was probably 50 degrees.
00:13:42.109 --> 00:13:43.431
Okay, did you see the lights?
00:13:43.431 --> 00:13:44.734
Saw the northern lights?
00:13:44.734 --> 00:13:49.410
Not well, we stayed way out in the country on purpose, but the hotel was super dope.
00:13:49.410 --> 00:13:52.769
Food was incredible, but they didn't even put lights on the hotel.
00:13:53.019 --> 00:13:58.889
When we pulled up, the hotel was black almost like it was intentionally out there in the middle of nowhere for this purpose.
00:13:59.429 --> 00:14:03.294
And even on your phone you had a little button to wake you up for the Northern Lights, wow.
