We just talk about music.
00:00:35.426 --> 00:00:37.165
We're talking war stories.

Tell me about.
00:00:43.121 --> 00:00:46.628
Brian B on the weekend off Last episode, which we'll get to here shortly.
00:00:46.628 --> 00:00:49.395
Tell me about Brian B on the weekend off Last episode.
00:00:49.395 --> 00:00:51.780
You talked about cutting down trees, but it's different, right?
00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:59.880
I mean, you have a kid now you're home more, less shows, but you often are still working some sort of project that me and you are doing on the weekends.
00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:00.481
Like.
00:01:00.540 --> 00:01:03.713
I pretty much go off grid whether I'm doing a show or not.
00:01:03.713 --> 00:01:11.093
I'm like I'm not gonna check email, but you're getting stuff done like what to walk me through, like you're off yeah for one.
00:01:11.194 --> 00:01:13.626
When you have a four-year-old, you're never truly off.
00:01:13.766 --> 00:01:16.722
That's what I was gonna ask you this weekend, because you got a lot of shit done.
00:01:16.722 --> 00:01:20.412
I did and I was like was annie like in a kind of little kennel?
00:01:20.412 --> 00:01:21.600
Did you lock her up like?
00:01:21.620 --> 00:01:23.265
no, we had a neighbor who's?
00:01:23.284 --> 00:01:24.849
because we don't have family that lives here.
00:01:24.849 --> 00:01:25.530
Yeah right.
00:01:25.691 --> 00:01:32.224
So for us, thankfully, we have some great neighbors that act as family, and this couple next to us.
00:01:32.224 --> 00:01:39.228
They're older, their kid has already gone off to college and so they've kind of like brought her on as their little daughter to an extent.
00:01:39.228 --> 00:01:42.602
So they're like, hey, we want to take her to the movies and then to dinner.
00:01:42.602 --> 00:01:43.263
Is that okay?
00:01:43.263 --> 00:01:45.025
We're like absolutely.
00:01:45.064 --> 00:01:46.647
Dude that is gold.
00:01:46.667 --> 00:01:47.688
And then they went shopping.
00:01:47.688 --> 00:01:54.153
They went shopping for gifts on top of that, so literally from one o'clock in the afternoon till eight o'clock at night.
00:01:54.153 --> 00:01:56.456
That long, that long they were gone.
00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:58.986
And was this the same day as the tree chopper Brian?
00:01:59.007 --> 00:01:59.046
B.
00:01:59.046 --> 00:02:00.570
That was the day after Okay.
00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:07.953
So you had seven hours to get shit done, ton, but then tara didn't have you doing like honeydew stuff, or like no, because we did it the day before.
00:02:07.972 --> 00:02:09.338
It wasn't just the tree trimming.
00:02:09.359 --> 00:02:13.280
The morning started with you hired somebody to put those christmas lights up on your crib though, didn't?
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:14.804
We did, yeah that's my.
00:02:14.925 --> 00:02:15.445
That was a.
00:02:15.445 --> 00:02:16.669
That was a mistake, though, too.
00:02:16.669 --> 00:02:28.105
They get you what you mean, because you get them in november usually yeah they come down in january, okay and then they hit you up in july and they go, or sometimes it's even earlier, sometimes it's like february.
00:02:28.105 --> 00:02:29.741
They're like do you want the same thing for next year?
00:02:29.741 --> 00:02:30.582
You want to pre-book it?
00:02:30.582 --> 00:02:47.004
Okay, we'll save you 25, or whatever okay so I did that okay and at the time, I think it was maybe because the discount, everything was happening sure I built the biggest freaking package I could get sure you know yeah so then they just showed up, like one day.
00:02:47.044 --> 00:02:54.881
I'm like they showed up at our house and they're like wait, no, no, no notice, oh, and I'm like who's this outside of our house in a van, just like with a bunch of stuff?
00:02:54.881 --> 00:02:57.627
And I'm like we ain't even to thanksgiving yet.
00:02:57.627 --> 00:03:02.283
I'm like we're setting the bar high for the neighborhood, all of a sudden, you can turn them off right no, well, you can.
00:03:02.324 --> 00:03:10.355
Yeah, I'm like, yeah, we got the wreath up there, you know it's lit and you know I got the markers in the driveway, the whole thing, and I'm like boy.
00:03:10.355 --> 00:03:14.210
And so then at that point then I'm cooked because now I gotta do the christmas tree to match.
00:03:14.210 --> 00:03:17.584
Oh wow, you already got a tree up, so the same day as the tree.
00:03:17.604 --> 00:03:18.664
You ain't got a real tree up.
00:03:18.664 --> 00:03:19.186
No, no, we had a.
00:03:19.186 --> 00:03:21.729
Oh, I was about to say the lot's not even open yet dog so.
00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:30.187
So we had that like first thing in the morning was tree set up Like decorated lights, the whole thing, and then we did the spring cleaning.
00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:31.543
But is Annie doing the?
00:03:31.543 --> 00:03:33.048
Is she decorating the tree?
00:03:33.048 --> 00:03:33.669
Going, ape shit.
00:03:33.669 --> 00:03:35.066
Are you playing Christmas music?
00:03:35.066 --> 00:03:37.742
Yeah, the wife was on that and I'm not much help.
00:03:37.923 --> 00:03:39.326
I'll be honest, that's not my forte.
00:03:39.326 --> 00:03:41.431
Anybody need anything to drink.
00:03:41.431 --> 00:03:44.586
You need a snack, I got you, it's just not my.
00:03:44.586 --> 00:03:46.711
I'm not good at that stuff.
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:53.525
I went artificial two years ago for the first time ever, always had a real tree 51 years and then finally, I just finally gave up.
00:03:53.525 --> 00:03:54.268
It looks real.
00:03:54.268 --> 00:03:57.002
It was expensive, it was over $1,000 and it looks real.
00:03:57.122 --> 00:04:01.929
But to your question of like days off, see, I like to watch sports, but I don't need to be listening.
00:04:01.929 --> 00:04:07.735
Okay, so a lot of times I can put the earbuds in get stuff done, but still watch, especially the multi-view.
00:04:07.735 --> 00:04:12.875
You multi-view or you red zone Towards the end of the game, I'll go red zone, okay.
00:04:12.875 --> 00:04:13.442
But, early on.
00:04:13.442 --> 00:04:14.265
I'm just multi-view.
00:04:14.366 --> 00:04:14.627
Okay.
00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:18.509
And this week specifically, the morning games had a lot of last minute stuff happening.
00:04:18.730 --> 00:04:30.913
Yeah, even the Panthers game we did at 11 at High Park.
00:04:30.913 --> 00:04:32.177
You know I just walked up there.
00:04:32.177 --> 00:04:43.721
I walked home from the office because I had too many cars or something, and I walked home from the office I was passing that sports bar by my house, high Park, and I stopped in there, bro, what is too early to start drinking?
00:04:43.721 --> 00:04:59.596
Because you know the game came on at 930 am and I sat down at probably 11 for like an early lunch and dude beside me Tailgating oh yeah, white claw with a chaser of brown liquor you can't even serve alcohol until after, not anymore.
00:04:59.617 --> 00:05:14.158
That changed a while back because they had that whole brunch law that passed and people went ape shit see, I'm from the west coast, so the first game on the west coast starts at 10 am but now because people are playing in europe six yeah, people are getting lit for brunch on sunday mornings with the football games.
00:05:15.110 --> 00:05:16.089
I mean, it's just like I guess you're right, man.
00:05:16.170 --> 00:05:17.254
Maybe it wasn't that crazy.
00:05:17.254 --> 00:05:21.290
I just was like God damn, bro, like it's 11 on Sunday.
00:05:21.310 --> 00:05:22.555
You got to pace yourself.
00:05:22.555 --> 00:05:23.579
That's what I'm saying.
00:05:23.670 --> 00:05:30.336
The last game ends 12 hours later Is he there all day just turning up, I don't know, playing illegal gambling machines.
00:05:30.336 --> 00:05:36.807
He told me his sister won $5,000 on one the day before on one of those bootleg you know, illegal gambling machines with poker and shit on them.
00:05:37.329 --> 00:05:40.278
This girl that goes to the smoke shop I work at.
00:05:40.278 --> 00:05:44.490
Random girl came in the other day won 150 racks off the scratch.
00:05:44.490 --> 00:05:45.692
150 racks, what is that?
00:05:45.692 --> 00:05:48.877
On scratch off $150,000?
00:05:48.877 --> 00:05:49.538
I mean that.
00:05:49.538 --> 00:05:50.858
That's allegedly that.
00:05:50.858 --> 00:05:53.062
No, I mean, we believe her.
00:05:53.062 --> 00:05:54.043
Why would she be lying?
00:05:54.043 --> 00:05:56.485
Because a lot of shady people come in the smoke shop.
00:05:56.485 --> 00:05:58.757
Nah, nah, nah.
00:05:58.757 --> 00:06:01.156
You believe her, I believe her.
00:06:01.156 --> 00:06:04.413
Wow, okay, she's a regular human being.
00:06:04.413 --> 00:06:08.396
Okay, I got you, not like a crackhead, she's not one of those.
00:06:10.151 --> 00:06:11.572
Have you done any shopping Christmas?
00:06:11.612 --> 00:06:12.033
shopping Zero.
00:06:13.351 --> 00:06:14.536
Are you last minute, Larry?
00:06:14.555 --> 00:06:15.932
minute um no, I'm in the middle.
00:06:15.932 --> 00:06:19.067
Now that you speak on it, I feel like I need to pick it up a little bit.
00:06:19.067 --> 00:06:20.956
But you gotta realize, man, it's different now.
00:06:20.956 --> 00:06:21.740
I don't have a wife.
00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:31.230
Yeah, the boys are grown right, so what they're normally gonna do is just take my card, get stuff, hand it to me, I will wrap it and then re-give it to them.
00:06:31.230 --> 00:06:33.557
Have y'all, like, started loading up for up for Annie?
00:06:33.557 --> 00:06:40.697
Because I feel like if you don't, if there's the Tickle Me, elmo or the Hot Toy and you don't buy it now or October, you're hosed.
00:06:40.757 --> 00:06:41.781
Tara is good at that.
00:06:41.781 --> 00:06:42.403
I'm terrible.
00:06:42.403 --> 00:06:45.478
I am like Christmas Eve guy I'm going to the stores.
00:06:45.637 --> 00:06:46.160
The mall.
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:46.942
I mean I used to.
00:06:46.942 --> 00:06:51.697
Now it's obviously Amazon about three days beforehand, beforehand yeah, but tara's classy bro.
00:06:51.718 --> 00:06:59.399
They ain't got no shit on amazon that she wants yeah, you'd be surprised they got a lot of those like last minute gifts okay.
00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:01.372
Google searches yeah, they can turn up.
00:07:01.471 --> 00:07:04.625
Okay, speaking of amazon yeah, don't you have a little treat?
00:07:04.625 --> 00:07:05.529
Don't you have a little treat?
00:07:05.610 --> 00:07:07.696
for me, so I was gonna share one.
00:07:07.795 --> 00:07:15.259
We're gonna link, yes, our shopping carts, yes so when the reel comes out, we're gonna say comment on this reel.
00:07:15.259 --> 00:07:24.822
I'm going to look at the camera, comment the word goodies, all right, and we're going to send you a document with links to our favorite Christmas gifts for DJs how about that?
00:07:24.822 --> 00:07:30.581
And then you just like subtly, pass it to your spouse or your boyfriend, your girlfriend whatever yeah.
00:07:30.581 --> 00:07:31.190
You like that?
00:07:31.190 --> 00:07:32.273
I love that Goodies.
00:07:32.593 --> 00:07:33.714
So this could could be for that.
00:07:33.714 --> 00:07:35.898
This could be a gift for your djs.
00:07:35.898 --> 00:07:38.262
Uh-huh, this is the bassiest.
00:07:38.262 --> 00:07:39.845
I guess it would be like a brick.
00:07:39.845 --> 00:07:42.886
Essentially, it's pretty light I mean, but it's got some weight to it.
00:07:42.925 --> 00:07:44.232
We haven't talked about this thing before?
00:07:44.232 --> 00:07:53.879
No, we haven't okay no, I thought we had, but we haven't okay, I like it we were going to and yeah, yeah, yeah, we ran out, but it's got usbc yep usb a.
00:07:53.899 --> 00:07:58.334
There's two a's, two c's, I believe yep and what I love about it.
00:07:58.334 --> 00:08:02.591
Here I'll let you uh be the demo the vanna white here when you plug this in.
00:08:02.591 --> 00:08:06.242
This is a super long cable, okay, but what you'll see here is it are you still on?
00:08:06.242 --> 00:08:07.031
Lightning cable.
00:08:07.031 --> 00:08:07.672
Bro, I am bro.
00:08:07.672 --> 00:08:08.613
I need the entire.
00:08:08.613 --> 00:08:09.935
I need to upgrade now.
00:08:09.935 --> 00:08:12.841
Does it tell you the percentage of what's left on that charger?
00:08:13.141 --> 00:08:15.264
Say 100%, yeah 100% on the charger.
00:08:15.689 --> 00:08:19.588
So that will in real time tell you how much you have left on this charger.
00:08:19.649 --> 00:08:19.829
Right.
00:08:19.870 --> 00:08:20.733
This thing will last.
00:08:20.733 --> 00:08:22.158
You could plug in your computer.
00:08:22.350 --> 00:08:23.495
What are these other countdowns?
00:08:23.750 --> 00:08:24.432
That's a great question.
00:08:24.432 --> 00:08:29.593
I haven't gotten that far in the menu, but all I'm concerned about for me is how much of this do I have?
00:08:29.613 --> 00:08:33.721
left to charge this, yeah, right Of the brick, yeah, and you said this will power like a laptop as well.
00:08:33.741 --> 00:08:34.844
I will A MacBook An.
00:08:35.004 --> 00:08:36.486
Air or like a MacBook Pro Pro.
00:08:36.486 --> 00:08:37.889
This will power up a MacBook Pro.
00:08:37.889 --> 00:08:39.373
Yeah, from dead, from dead.
00:08:39.493 --> 00:08:40.355
Damn.
00:08:40.355 --> 00:08:43.159
So this is about $60 on Amazon.
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:44.221
It'll be on that list.
00:08:44.221 --> 00:08:56.825
Get this for your DJs because you know, with the bun booth you can put it in the compartment and hide this, because it's not like this huge brick yeah get a cable that can charge their phone if there's an emergency, or whatever they have the ability to to do it.
00:08:56.825 --> 00:08:58.614
So damn, this thing is gold.
00:08:58.614 --> 00:08:59.918
I would highly recommend it.
00:08:59.918 --> 00:09:02.932
And it's thin too, so you can fit it in your bag yeah, I love that like.
00:09:03.033 --> 00:09:04.418
No, I don't like those either.
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:08.952
That's nice I got some weight to it too, so if it's windy, get it so so with that, what's the word?
00:09:08.952 --> 00:09:09.835
Again goodies?
00:09:10.054 --> 00:09:17.686
uh, goodies say goodies on the, and we will automatically send you a PDF of our favorite gifts for DJs.
00:09:17.830 --> 00:09:20.456
Speaking of, have you thought about your gift for your DJs?
00:09:20.717 --> 00:09:21.659
For my company DJs.
00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:24.437
Yeah, I have two, but I can't say it because they listen to the podcast.
00:09:24.437 --> 00:09:27.799
By the way, bro, I forgot to tell you this.
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:33.442
I said something on the podcast about yeah, if a DJ's been here a while, I'll bump their percentage up.
00:09:33.442 --> 00:09:37.174
Podcast about yeah, if a dj's been here a while, I'll bump their percentage up.
00:09:37.174 --> 00:09:40.703
A motherfucker called me and said yo, I was listening to the pocket and he hit me up for a raise.
00:09:40.703 --> 00:09:42.572
Wow, yeah, and I had to give it to him.
00:09:42.792 --> 00:09:44.075
Oh man, yeah, he's been loyal.
00:09:44.075 --> 00:09:45.317
Hey, it's a soldier.
00:09:45.317 --> 00:09:48.432
Our listenership, thank you, thank you.
00:09:48.493 --> 00:09:50.096
I forgot to tell you about that.
00:09:50.096 --> 00:09:51.159
Yeah, you're welcome.
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.206
I was like wait what?
00:09:53.206 --> 00:10:00.833
And I just didn't think anybody you know on my staff listened, because they've heard me run my mouth for so many years now that they were just not non-listeners.
00:10:00.833 --> 00:10:01.716
I got hit up.
00:10:01.716 --> 00:10:03.419
I got hit up, it cost me.
00:10:03.419 --> 00:10:04.261
We got a question.
00:10:04.261 --> 00:10:05.030
This is a good one.
00:10:05.030 --> 00:10:05.832
It is a good one.
00:10:05.832 --> 00:10:07.840
I'm gonna let you read it because my eyesight's not great.
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.014
You need to break out the glasses no, I'm good you.
00:10:10.034 --> 00:10:11.440
You are the opposite of me.
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:17.940
You don't see well here and I don't see well, far right yeah, jeez, we're a mess, bro, it's combined we got the damn.
00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:19.445
We were for 2020, my boy.
00:10:19.445 --> 00:10:20.750
We're 2020, my boy.
00:10:20.750 --> 00:10:22.634
All right, here we go.
00:10:22.653 --> 00:10:28.701
Uh, this was another anonymous that we came up with a little sign off a dear abby sign off here, but the question is kind of long.
00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:29.062
Here we go.
00:10:29.062 --> 00:10:36.243
I have a wedding coming up where the couple wants explicit music for the last two hours of the reception like really explicit.
00:10:36.243 --> 00:10:39.419
I never play the explicit version of songs, ever.
00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:41.538
It just eliminates problems and questions.
00:10:41.538 --> 00:10:43.437
This couple asked if I could play a few.
00:10:43.437 --> 00:10:47.000
I said okay, but her playlist is almost two hours solid of it.
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:51.402
I reminded her about our conversation and she said she really wants the explicit versions.
00:10:51.402 --> 00:10:56.057
She even put it on the welcome bags for guests that the music after 9 pm will be club-like.
00:10:56.057 --> 00:10:57.360
The wedding is in two weeks.
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:58.562
I can't back out now.
00:10:58.562 --> 00:11:05.214
This is a very high-end wedding at an awesome venue that we play at a lot and with a planner we love who refers us a ton.
00:11:05.214 --> 00:11:08.846
The planner understands but wants me to do my best to accommodate.
00:11:08.846 --> 00:11:15.437
I'm not feeling really comfortable with this playlist and hoping this won't hurt my relationships with this venue or my reputation in general.
00:11:15.437 --> 00:11:16.178
What would Nasty shit, he said.
00:11:32.932 --> 00:11:35.600
I feel cringy already about this.
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.397
I'm sweating have you been hit with this yet One time?
00:11:38.397 --> 00:11:42.821
And Because I don't think I've had this request yet, to play it all explicit.
00:11:43.149 --> 00:11:44.994
You know the places where I've had this.
00:11:44.994 --> 00:11:47.679
I've been at a venue and it's been outdoors Okay.
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:49.663
At a resort, Okay, Family friendly.
00:11:49.663 --> 00:11:50.934
The venue bailed me out.
00:11:51.510 --> 00:11:52.962
They're like we don't allow that.
00:11:53.284 --> 00:11:56.755
Like it's in the contract with the venue that we don't allow that.
00:11:56.755 --> 00:11:59.032
That gave me the out to not have to play that.
00:11:59.153 --> 00:11:59.995
Wow.
00:12:00.365 --> 00:12:01.789
So I was not the bad guy.
00:12:01.811 --> 00:12:18.664
I'm like man, I would love to, but the venue literally won't allow us to play it because of whatever, and I just had a recollection of doing a show in Beaufort at like a what are those things called Bed and breakfast, yeah, and the reception was outside and I think it was twofold.
00:12:18.664 --> 00:12:29.340
I think I was playing an explicit song, which was super rare this was 15 years ago but I think also the groom wanted the mic and he started rapping something explicit dude.
00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:49.113
I got like banned from that place, really, yeah, because it was outdoors, downtown beaufort, right, probably in the summer, you know, and I'm sure you know little kids walking around eating ice cream and somebody's like pop that pee, blah, blah, blah you know like whatever he was on the mic rapping, but I was like it's the groom, I don't, and I don't remember what the track was, but I distinctly remember.
00:12:49.234 --> 00:12:52.525
luckily the place closed down, but I mean I was banned for when it was open.
00:12:52.525 --> 00:12:53.847
I mean how do we help this guy?
00:12:53.847 --> 00:12:57.234
Like right, I mean he's like said, I mean the gig is booked, it's paid for.
00:12:57.234 --> 00:12:58.154
I'm doing the gig.
00:12:58.154 --> 00:13:00.258
I know that I'm going to fulfill the contract.
00:13:00.258 --> 00:13:17.471
I'm going to explain to everybody previous to getting there and on the day of the planner, the person that runs the venue, the cake maker, the guy that delivers the limousine, like everybody in attendance is going to know hey, this is going to be a lot different than Joe Bunn's show.
00:13:17.591 --> 00:13:20.677
I literally don't even think I have most explicit versions anymore.
00:13:20.677 --> 00:13:22.427
I never download them from the pools.
00:13:22.427 --> 00:13:28.089
Most of the stuff I played from the club days I've deleted or just bought the clean version now or gotten, you know, a clean version.
00:13:28.089 --> 00:13:34.207
But today Susie wants this to go full explicit and you know I'm obligated to do it.
00:13:34.207 --> 00:13:35.551
I'm very uncomfortable doing it.
00:13:35.551 --> 00:13:37.634
Just know that this is not my normal show.
00:13:37.774 --> 00:13:49.349
I'm just giving disclaimers to everybody, basically, and on the mic previous to this nine o'clock when it goes club-like, I don't care that she's put it on all the gift bags, I don't care if it's on a table 10 on every table I'm going to get on the mic and go.
00:13:49.349 --> 00:13:50.913
Hey guys, just a heads up.
00:13:50.913 --> 00:14:00.029
Susie and Mike want clublike and in the clubs we play explicit.
00:14:00.029 --> 00:14:02.099
You know music, either leave or put on earmuffs or something, but just get ready to.
00:14:02.099 --> 00:14:08.616
You know, hear some not really tasteful lyrics coming out of these speakers in three, two, one, and then I put on wop and just like, rip the band-aid right off.
