00:00:22.109 --> 00:00:25.071
welcome back to beyond the DJ Booth Podcast.

00:00:25.071 --> 00:00:25.972
I'm Brian B.

00:00:25.972 --> 00:00:28.132
Yes, sir, it's Joe Bunn.

00:00:28.132 --> 00:00:30.995
If this is the first time you've been listening to this, thanks for checking us out.

00:00:31.175 --> 00:00:32.215
Hello Welcome.

00:00:32.494 --> 00:00:33.415
Tell the people what we do.

00:00:33.896 --> 00:00:37.957
We make podcasts for private event DJ.

00:00:38.137 --> 00:00:38.819
What do we talk about?

00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:40.781
What's the value add?

00:00:40.781 --> 00:00:42.668
The value add is usually a question from the listeners.

00:00:42.668 --> 00:00:44.121
By the way, send those to us.

00:00:44.121 --> 00:00:46.725
We always will answer it eventually.

00:00:46.725 --> 00:01:03.972
We talk about music, usually something Brian has curated in his endless search for hot, steaming bangers, and we talk about gear or little things we have in our DJ backpack that saved our asses.

00:01:03.972 --> 00:01:08.305
We talk about crazy stories and recap, like what happened last weekend or what's coming this weekend.

00:01:08.344 --> 00:01:09.328
That's what we talk about.

00:01:09.328 --> 00:01:10.070
It's November.

00:01:10.070 --> 00:01:12.765
We're batching this episode for December release.

00:01:12.765 --> 00:01:22.515
Right In this batch of episodes we have a new opener to the video podcast with a new track Two new tracks, right.

00:01:22.515 --> 00:01:28.168
So I wanted to shout it out because I actually got a text from one of the DJs listeners yeah, zeb, early.

00:01:28.168 --> 00:01:28.962
Shout out Zeb.

00:01:28.962 --> 00:01:29.846
Thanks for listening.

00:01:29.846 --> 00:01:37.031
He said dude, the first track on the intro and the outro were awesome, so I wanted to shout out the people who helped us put these together, alright.

00:01:37.316 --> 00:01:45.173
Intro on the podcast, that instrumental that was done by the one, the only, Buck Rogers.

00:01:45.173 --> 00:01:52.090
Gave us an original, an original, a saucy beat, and then he had an MC on it, but that part didn't work.

00:01:52.090 --> 00:01:54.084
But the instrumental is fire.

00:01:54.084 --> 00:01:55.808
Yeah, buck Rogers, shout out, buck Rogers.

00:01:55.829 --> 00:01:56.271
Thank you, Buck.

00:01:56.411 --> 00:01:58.361
Yeah, he's in Austin, texas now.

00:01:58.361 --> 00:02:05.605
The outro, our boy, our very own, the man behind the board back there, we need to put a camera on him.

00:02:05.605 --> 00:02:10.310
Saquon Slim, young man, shout yourself out when can they find you?

00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:13.171
On everything, all streaming platforms.

00:02:13.171 --> 00:02:14.372
Slim Young man.

00:02:14.372 --> 00:02:17.275
That's Slim Young man, without the O.

00:02:17.474 --> 00:02:19.276
That's right, slim Young.

00:02:19.736 --> 00:02:20.197
Man.

00:02:20.197 --> 00:02:21.157
Awesome producer.

00:02:21.157 --> 00:02:24.264
Another OG.

00:02:24.264 --> 00:02:29.728
I mean that's an original beat, original piece original beat dude so good we haven't said anything about those.

00:02:29.888 --> 00:02:30.570
We really haven't.

00:02:30.610 --> 00:02:37.707
We know some talented people, though, man so shout out Saquon aka Slim Young man, and our boy Buck Rogers for making it sound saucy.

00:02:37.707 --> 00:02:42.504
How long do you think we'll use those before either you, me or the listeners get tired of them?

00:02:42.705 --> 00:02:44.008
Do they have an expiration date?

00:02:44.008 --> 00:02:45.872
I mean, I would think a year yeah.

00:02:46.052 --> 00:02:46.272
Okay.

00:02:46.621 --> 00:02:48.319
Speaking of this episode.

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:48.961
Is this the end of?

00:02:48.981 --> 00:02:50.606
the first season it is.

00:02:50.848 --> 00:02:51.991
Yeah, this is episode 13?

00:02:51.991 --> 00:02:51.991
.

00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:53.866
That's when we decided to close the season.

00:02:53.866 --> 00:02:55.705
Is that what, like Friends used to do?

00:02:55.705 --> 00:02:56.810
They used to do 13?

00:02:56.810 --> 00:02:56.810
.

00:02:56.980 --> 00:02:57.925
How did we come up with that?

00:02:57.925 --> 00:03:00.525
That was a Google thing.

00:03:00.525 --> 00:03:00.764
We.

00:03:00.784 --> 00:03:05.054
Googled how many episodes are in a season, because you used to do about 44 episodes per season.

00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.314
For me, a season was the year Nah 52.

00:03:07.314 --> 00:03:09.723
It doesn't sound right, but you were like, let's cut it.

00:03:09.842 --> 00:03:10.784
Yeah, so 13.

00:03:10.784 --> 00:03:11.406
It sounds better.

00:03:11.406 --> 00:03:12.808
Guess what I'm doing tonight.

00:03:12.808 --> 00:03:14.853
I have no idea I'm going to see Pink.

00:03:15.212 --> 00:03:21.407
Wow, that was not on my bingo card that Saquon said the same thing.

00:03:21.548 --> 00:03:23.911
I mean, Ashley wanted to go, so I'm taking her.

00:03:23.911 --> 00:03:24.792
Have you been before?

00:03:24.792 --> 00:03:25.854
I've never seen Pink.

00:03:25.933 --> 00:03:27.216
Okay, I heard she's solid.

00:03:27.460 --> 00:03:29.487
I know she's an incredible performer.

00:03:29.487 --> 00:03:32.667
Everybody's seen the clips where she flies around the arena and stuff.

00:03:32.727 --> 00:03:33.448
Is this a PNC?

00:03:33.448 --> 00:03:34.531
Changed name recently.

00:03:34.852 --> 00:03:35.293
Lenovo.

00:03:35.293 --> 00:03:42.568
Okay, they changed the name a couple of weeks ago, lenovo Center renamed but was there and tonight, two nights in a row at the same arena.

00:03:42.568 --> 00:03:46.775
I mean that's 50,000 people, right, that's rare for Raleigh to get a double show like that, that's what I'm saying.

00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:48.385
I thought it was the end of the show.

00:03:48.385 --> 00:03:49.168
You want to know why?

00:03:49.168 --> 00:03:52.467
Friday I get a phone call from a guy I hadn't talked to in forever.

00:03:52.467 --> 00:03:59.407
I've been in the Raleigh bar scene forever.

00:03:59.407 --> 00:04:02.091
He's like hey, man, I need you to play this party for her and her crew.

00:04:02.110 --> 00:04:03.012
She's staying another night.

00:04:03.192 --> 00:04:07.256
No, this was two nights ago, oh, before the tour started.

00:04:07.256 --> 00:04:08.918
So this was on Saturday night.

00:04:08.918 --> 00:04:12.007
They had Sunday off shows on Monday and Tuesday.

00:04:12.007 --> 00:04:12.467
Got it.

00:04:12.467 --> 00:04:15.127
And I'm like I got a freaking 300 person wedding.

00:04:15.127 --> 00:04:16.170
Bro, I can't help you.

00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:21.108
That would have gotten me out of the tree cutting bro, you should have like pinged me, bro, trust me.

00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:23.904
And he started naming some other DJs and I was like, dude, those are good DJs.

00:04:23.904 --> 00:04:25.466
They're not right for this, right.

00:04:25.466 --> 00:04:32.528
I was like I have people like can do this, no budget, or whoever he was like I passed it on to them.

00:04:32.528 --> 00:04:42.964
Maybe he gave them a couple names, maybe they just called the first person on the list, I don't know, but I was called first and when I passed then it went to somebody else out of my camp and so I missed playing for Pink.

00:04:42.964 --> 00:04:43.988
And she was definitely there.

00:04:43.988 --> 00:04:45.403
What if she had seen me play?

00:04:45.403 --> 00:04:46.528
And the next thing, you know, I'm on tour.

00:04:46.528 --> 00:04:49.288
I can't believe you.

00:04:49.288 --> 00:04:49.850
It happened.

00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:56.413
That would be be nutty.

00:04:56.413 --> 00:04:57.043
Anyway, can you imagine listening to Pink for the tour date, I mean, at some point?

00:04:57.043 --> 00:04:58.557
Well, maybe not, maybe all those crowds you're playing for, maybe that's worth it yeah, no.

00:04:58.557 --> 00:04:59.862
You could do a run of those.

00:04:59.862 --> 00:05:01.286
I think Hell yeah.

00:05:01.286 --> 00:05:04.822
So, speaking of run, you've been to a lot of shows this year.

00:05:04.822 --> 00:05:10.208
One Stick Out what's the best concert you've been to all year that you would tell the listeners.

00:05:10.208 --> 00:05:15.591
I mean I got to meet mars, I mean I gotta meet and take a picture with jared leto and then I'm on the stage for the last song.

00:05:15.752 --> 00:05:24.218
But I feel like that's, like a personal connection, like that's you would say that well, if it sucked, they, you would be like that's my band, like no, no, that's not true.

00:05:24.257 --> 00:05:27.007
That is absolutely not true man, because that show, because need to breathe.

00:05:27.007 --> 00:05:27.769
I love that band.

00:05:27.769 --> 00:05:35.769
I've seen that band 15 times easily, maybe more, and they went on tour last year and I went to greensboro and it was not good and I've never said that.

00:05:35.769 --> 00:05:41.242
I will say right now that is the best touring band currently still alive and touring.

00:05:41.242 --> 00:05:43.206
But the set list was not good.

00:05:43.206 --> 00:05:46.702
The album that they were supporting was not good, it was just not good.

00:05:46.702 --> 00:06:01.663
I don't know if they've gotten too big, you know, because I went from seeing these guys in little bars and stuff where the last song they used to turn all the mics off and just wail like completely acoustic, like that's how small the places were, and now they're playing in, you know, greensboro Coliseum, but no, 30 Seconds to Mars, no question.

00:06:01.663 --> 00:06:02.607
I don't even have to think about it.

00:06:02.607 --> 00:06:03.468
What's your second?

00:06:03.468 --> 00:06:04.851
That's tough.

00:06:04.851 --> 00:06:07.701
I'm trying to think of who all we saw this year.

00:06:07.701 --> 00:06:14.788
I don't think Laney came Early in the year we saw them on Valentine's Day, the day before Valentine's Day, at the Ritz.

00:06:14.928 --> 00:06:15.889
That was a great show.

00:06:15.889 --> 00:06:20.754
I saw Quinn 92 the other night outside, still warm in October, at Red Hat.

00:06:20.754 --> 00:06:23.117
He killed you like that guy Quinn 92?

00:06:23.117 --> 00:06:23.637
I know the name.

00:06:23.637 --> 00:06:25.406
I really did love that Laney show though.

00:06:25.687 --> 00:06:25.947
Did you?

00:06:25.968 --> 00:06:28.267
see that the Bay and Camino also at the Ritz.

00:06:28.581 --> 00:06:29.464
You know, I love those guys.

00:06:29.504 --> 00:06:39.963
Yeah, did I what the the laney show our va?

00:06:39.963 --> 00:06:41.427
Yes, we sent her to go the largest indoor arena in the world.

00:06:41.447 --> 00:06:41.829
I did not know this.

00:06:41.829 --> 00:06:42.432
Yeah, it's the largest clip.

00:06:42.432 --> 00:06:42.773
That was insane.

00:06:42.773 --> 00:06:45.863
Talk about a band that, like, has eclipsed, like worldwide.

00:06:46.204 --> 00:06:49.355
We saw them in a place that was held 1500 right.

00:06:49.355 --> 00:06:54.225
And then they went all the way from raleigh to the west coast they played at, at the Forum and that where the Lakers played.

00:06:54.324 --> 00:06:55.346
They did play at Staples.

00:06:55.346 --> 00:06:56.588
Okay, no, it was Forum.

00:06:56.588 --> 00:06:57.348
I think it was Forum.

00:06:57.569 --> 00:07:00.312
And then they went to Asia, Thailand.

00:07:00.432 --> 00:07:01.213
I had no idea.

00:07:01.213 --> 00:07:02.555
Now they're in Australia, okay.

00:07:02.740 --> 00:07:04.728
I mean that band has transcended.

00:07:04.728 --> 00:07:09.492
I was on them way early and then you kind of got on it later, which is very rare.

00:07:15.939 --> 00:07:16.637
It's normally opposite.

00:07:16.637 --> 00:07:19.653
They're not like a gig type of band, no, which is why I'm late, because I usually don't listen to songs, that's true, that are just for listening.

00:07:19.571 --> 00:07:19.889
That's true.

00:07:19.889 --> 00:07:20.067
That's true.

00:07:20.067 --> 00:07:24.334
I think people think djs ride around and listen to like brick house in their car.

00:07:24.413 --> 00:07:31.615
Yeah, I've gone to podcasts dude really yeah, I'm not a consumer of any sort of media like I'm so bad.

00:07:31.615 --> 00:07:32.699
I don't watch youtube.

00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:33.725
I don't listen to podcasts.

00:07:33.725 --> 00:07:34.247
I'm a bad consumer.

00:07:34.247 --> 00:07:35.351
I don't watch YouTube, I don't listen to podcasts.

00:07:35.351 --> 00:07:36.156
I'm a bad consumer.

00:07:36.156 --> 00:07:38.687
I don't know man, I deleted TikTok the other day.

00:07:38.687 --> 00:07:40.064
I just let the VA just.

00:07:40.064 --> 00:07:41.829
If something pops off, let me know.

00:07:41.829 --> 00:07:43.846
It's just, it sucks.

00:07:43.846 --> 00:07:44.387
I hate it.

00:07:44.387 --> 00:07:45.865
It just wasn't doing anything for me.

00:07:45.865 --> 00:07:47.343
Anyway, what's going on today?

00:07:47.343 --> 00:07:48.266
Oh, we got a question.

00:07:48.286 --> 00:07:57.947
We got a question, okay, Thought you, a little piece of gear you were going to pull out.

00:07:57.947 --> 00:07:58.209
No, not today.

00:07:58.249 --> 00:08:00.778
Not today A tampon holder or something For your DJs, I don't know.

00:08:01.038 --> 00:08:03.485
For you, oh Jesus, a little stocking stuffer.

00:08:03.485 --> 00:08:05.843
Why was that?

00:08:05.843 --> 00:08:06.807
The first thing in my head.

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.720
This is Corey Barron, one of our homies from Tampa, florida.

00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.391
Do you guys do anything other than DJ and create content to generate income?

00:08:16.391 --> 00:08:18.240
What types of investing do you do?

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.004
Real estate, et cetera.

00:08:20.004 --> 00:08:21.807
Good question, can you answer first?

00:08:22.649 --> 00:08:27.591
Sure, I mean, I feel like I'm the king of like little things that add up to a lot.

00:08:27.591 --> 00:08:29.740
I don't have like one extra side hustle.

00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:33.201
That's like carrying the lion's share of my extra revenue streams.

00:08:33.201 --> 00:08:34.043
I feel the same.

00:08:34.043 --> 00:08:37.024
I mean carrying the lion's share of my extra revenue streams.

00:08:37.024 --> 00:08:37.404
I feel the same.

00:08:37.404 --> 00:08:39.206
I mean Random just is an affiliate for Amazon.

00:08:39.426 --> 00:08:40.386
That's unbelievable.

00:08:40.386 --> 00:08:42.128
Yeah, it's such an easy thing.

00:08:42.128 --> 00:08:42.589
Yeah.

00:08:42.749 --> 00:08:45.491
And I don't feel like I've done it Two different ways.

00:08:45.972 --> 00:08:46.475
One is.

00:08:46.575 --> 00:08:49.601
I think it's called the influencer program.

00:08:49.601 --> 00:09:04.357
That's right, but the other side is where you actually and this is I just found this on Instagram somewhere where you make reviews of products and if people watch your video, if they click on that just to look for it and they see your video, you get credit for it.

00:09:04.357 --> 00:09:09.701
If, after they watch it, they go and buy it, surprisingly, that actually does pretty well.

00:09:09.701 --> 00:09:12.196
Yeah, I'm shocked that it does as well as it does.

00:09:12.275 --> 00:09:14.041
Now is this going to pay your mortgage?

00:09:14.041 --> 00:09:15.110
No, it's.

00:09:15.110 --> 00:09:17.195
You know, two 300 bucks.

00:09:17.296 --> 00:09:17.495
Right.

00:09:17.515 --> 00:09:19.299
You get a couple of those a month.

00:09:19.299 --> 00:09:20.722
Yeah, it's not nothing.

00:09:20.950 --> 00:09:23.553
No, you know, $4,000 a year.

00:09:23.793 --> 00:09:25.456
I'm not investing in the stock market.

00:09:25.456 --> 00:09:49.207
I do have some passive stocks that my I guess life insurance financial advisor puts in there but yeah beyond that I'm not active, I'm not doing crypto no that's a jan I move no yeah, it sounds very jan I um and then just small little businesses like you know, little things here and there consulting, coaching yeah, speaking yeah, and then all those little things kind of add up.

00:09:49.448 --> 00:09:59.711
I mean obviously you got the dj's vault, you got crate hackers right, those definitely bring in the dj gear, the bun gear stuff that's right, I didn't forget about that this was the first year where I was doing it on my own.

00:09:59.750 --> 00:10:04.951
I had bought out my partner with bun, with bun gear right and it was a learning curve in a lot of ways.

00:10:04.951 --> 00:10:15.113
You know, finding the manufacturer, finding the right people, finding the right shipper, pricing it right and I felt like everybody made money on that this year but me, the people in the warehouse.

00:10:15.113 --> 00:10:18.461
I didn't lose money, but I definitely was not like making money.

00:10:18.461 --> 00:10:26.677
It was one of those things where I intentionally should have said all right, every booth I sell, I'm going to put $125 in my pocket or whatever in a different account.

00:10:26.817 --> 00:10:28.160
And I just didn't really do that.

00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:33.019
I've kind of restructured the pricing, restructured the logistics, the supply chain.

00:10:33.019 --> 00:10:37.558
It basically took a year to kind of figure out and kind of hit the reset button on October 1st.

00:10:37.830 --> 00:10:39.576
Having worked at Pioneer back in the day.

00:10:39.576 --> 00:10:43.059
I know electronics profit margins are very thin.

00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:45.457
Is the same way in the booth furniture business?

00:10:45.690 --> 00:10:51.975
It's definitely thin, but because it is not anything electronic, it is better than electronics.

00:10:51.975 --> 00:10:58.961
In other words, there's no circuit boards and it's very little can break you know, UPS every once in a while jump up and down on a box or something.

00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:05.975
But I mean, sure it's, it's aluminum, it's very durable, it's powder coated, so I don't have a lot of returns, knock on wood stuff like that.

00:11:05.975 --> 00:11:07.057
I really enjoy it.

00:11:07.057 --> 00:11:13.236
I'm trying to come out with some other products and things like that and new style booth, the stands for the tube lights and whatnot.

00:11:13.236 --> 00:11:14.498
Like I need more SKUs.

00:11:14.498 --> 00:11:16.347
I really want to build a brand.

00:11:16.629 --> 00:11:20.182
So, whatever happened, it just made me think of your pocket squares.

00:11:20.182 --> 00:11:21.125
That was another one of your.

00:11:21.125 --> 00:11:22.692
Did that ever take off?

00:11:22.894 --> 00:11:24.340
It definitely did not take off.

00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:25.043
What'd you call it?

00:11:25.043 --> 00:11:26.005
Brentwood circle?

00:11:26.005 --> 00:11:34.871
I made a bunch of them, or I had a tailor make a bunch of them, and I even talked to some people like overseas, like in India and stuff that were you know about sourcing fabric and making a lot.

00:11:34.871 --> 00:11:41.441
Right, I don't know, man, it was just I get these crazy ideas and what I did remember, because you have one, I do.

00:11:41.924 --> 00:11:47.095
All of a sudden, one morning I woke up and I just started packaging them up and sending them to all my friends and it was over.

00:11:47.095 --> 00:11:56.958
Yeah, I had like maybe 50 or 60, you know, and I just woke up one morning and I just I had the boxes and everything, and then I was like I'm going to just send these to all my friends.

00:11:57.198 --> 00:11:58.000
They are solid.

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.163
I mean, the idea was super clutch, because I hate those things because of the fact that it's I can never get it right.

00:12:03.182 --> 00:12:03.663
That's right.

00:12:03.663 --> 00:12:05.451
You can't mess up a round one, right?

00:12:05.451 --> 00:12:07.432
Yeah, I don't know what that idea came and went.

00:12:07.524 --> 00:12:10.187
Will you go back to the clothing line with Brentwood?

00:12:10.187 --> 00:12:10.888
I?

00:12:10.927 --> 00:12:12.349
don't think so it's done.

00:12:12.349 --> 00:12:14.289
I think it's cooked I.

00:12:14.390 --> 00:12:17.732
It's good to have multiple income streams right.

00:12:17.773 --> 00:12:21.576
I would say multiple income streams are incredibly important.

00:12:21.576 --> 00:12:24.619
I'm just like Brian, though it's a little bit from everything.

00:12:24.619 --> 00:12:28.481
A little bit from a lot of things I don't have, like a bunch of Airbnbs.

00:12:28.481 --> 00:12:37.274
I think the biggest fail I ever made and I still kick myself every year is that I didn't buy some sort of building or a little warehouse instead of paying rent.

00:12:37.315 --> 00:12:45.888
For all these years I've kicked myself all the time when Raleigh was still affordable.

00:12:45.888 --> 00:12:46.870
Right, you know I was here way before you were.

00:12:46.870 --> 00:12:48.155
You came in at the very tail end of affordability in this city.

00:12:48.155 --> 00:12:52.068
Like you got that house, which is, I bet your house has gone up 30% at least.

00:12:52.068 --> 00:13:00.174
In what two years, three years, since you've been here, I guarantee it's $300,000 more than you paid for the house, if you tried to sell it, if you wanted to sell it right now.

00:13:00.434 --> 00:13:03.147
But the problem is you went to sell it, tried to put that money in your pocket.

00:13:03.147 --> 00:13:03.908
Where are you going to move?

00:13:03.908 --> 00:13:05.410
Yeah, you know, like Fayetteville.

00:13:07.414 --> 00:13:09.238
Like that callback, oh wow.

00:13:09.337 --> 00:13:10.299
He circled back.

00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:11.870
That was a Letterman trick there.

00:13:11.870 --> 00:13:27.251
So, corey, yes, if I had any input into said I'm really good at making money, really bad at holding on to it, really bad at saving it, I would just say manager, risk, you know what I mean.

00:13:27.251 --> 00:13:27.923
Like that's probably why I never did the crypto thing.

00:13:27.923 --> 00:13:28.129
What was that other thing?

00:13:28.129 --> 00:13:32.354
Where you were, people were buying artwork like jpegs, nfts, nfts, right non-fungible tokens.

00:13:32.533 --> 00:13:34.517
Yeah, you want to talk about a fucking beating?

00:13:34.517 --> 00:13:39.773
Ask logan paul like he spent like four hundred thousand dollars on some smoking ape or something like that.

00:13:39.773 --> 00:13:41.697
It's worth like $40 now.

00:13:41.697 --> 00:13:44.490
He spent millions on it, I think or hundreds of thousands.

00:13:44.490 --> 00:13:45.472
I don't remember what it was.

00:13:45.472 --> 00:13:46.416
Bitcoin is up.

00:13:46.416 --> 00:13:47.538
Bitcoin is up.

00:13:47.538 --> 00:13:52.235
I'm just saying if I was to give advice, I would say manage your risk.

00:13:52.235 --> 00:13:52.878
You know what I mean.

00:13:52.878 --> 00:13:56.195
I'm not going to go buy an apartment building in the worst neighborhood in town.

00:13:56.375 --> 00:14:05.645
Anyway, I would also say you don't want it to affect your main revenue source, correct, which I think some people make that mistake.

00:14:05.645 --> 00:14:06.486
They're like I'm going to start a second business.

00:14:06.418 --> 00:14:07.376
And all of a sudden your first you know thing.

00:14:07.376 --> 00:14:07.921
That's kind of funding.

00:14:07.851 --> 00:14:11.720
It in a sense goes sideways because you paid too much attention to the other thing.

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:12.908
A hundred percent done that.

00:14:13.028 --> 00:14:17.138
Anytime I've ventured off the DJ path, no matter what it was.

00:14:17.138 --> 00:14:26.006
I've definitely flipped houses.

00:14:26.006 --> 00:14:26.509
I definitely made it was.

00:14:26.509 --> 00:14:27.149
I've definitely flipped houses.

00:14:27.149 --> 00:14:27.913
I've definitely made pocket squares.

00:14:27.913 --> 00:14:28.774
I've definitely made t-shirts and hats.

00:14:28.774 --> 00:14:29.557
I've definitely been a band manager.

00:14:29.557 --> 00:14:35.924
Like, anytime I dipped off the DJ path is when I severely lost money and just absolutely took a bath, and so I kind of learned the lesson the hard way, like stick to what you know, like stick to what you're good at.

00:14:35.924 --> 00:14:38.850
Stick to your audience you know, make a podcast for private event djs.

00:14:38.870 --> 00:14:43.479
Because you're a private event dj which is making no money, zero dollars, throwing it out there people.

00:14:43.479 --> 00:14:45.269
So if you want to invest, we're happy.

00:14:45.289 --> 00:14:48.582
However, like I said the other day, you got to look at the glass.

00:14:48.582 --> 00:14:50.750
Half full is the content.

00:14:50.750 --> 00:14:54.905
You know we've got now like good reels every week there's usually something funny to post.

00:14:54.905 --> 00:14:56.048
Yeah, the people love it.

00:14:56.048 --> 00:14:56.749
Do y'all love it?

00:14:56.749 --> 00:14:57.409
Leave us a review.

If you do, I don't know.

00:14:58.812 --> 00:14:59.735
Let's put a bow on it.

00:14:59.735 --> 00:15:00.696
