Ep. 9: Dance Floor Bans and DJ Exit Plans

Send us a text

Ever wondered why some words just make your skin crawl? That's exactly where we kick off this episode of Beyond the DJ Booth. Joe's got a beef with the word "slaw," and Brian can't decide whether being called "bud" is a friendly pat on the back or a subtle dig. But that's just the appetizer. Once we've had our fun with cringe-worthy vocabulary, we hit the dance floor to tackle the age-old debate: Should kids rule the roost at weddings? Joe spills the beans on a recent gig where tiny tots turned the dance floor into their playground. We mull over ideas to keep the peace and the party going, like crafty kids' corners or fun movie nights to keep the little ones entertained and give the grown-ups a chance to groove.

Parenting and partying are a tough mix, and bringing kids to weddings can be a whole circus act of worries and stress. With a hefty dose of humor, we unpack the trials and tribulations parents face, sharing stories like the inventive family who packed a blow-up mattress for their kiddos—talk about commitment! And just when you think we've covered it all, we dive into the DJ's domain, discussing how to fend off those overly ambitious music critics among the guests. With anecdotes and tips galore, this episode is all about making wedding receptions a blast for everyone, from the toddlers to the grandparents. Tune in and discover how to keep your wedding events harmonious, fun, and unforgettable!

00:00:26.756 --> 00:00:30.437
We're here, we're back, we're doing it, pre-recording, batch content making.

00:00:30.437 --> 00:00:31.338
I think it's okay.

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.009
Well in the continued effort to learn more about Joe Bunn.

00:00:35.219 --> 00:00:39.862
When do I switch it and make it the Brian B learning experience?

00:00:40.222 --> 00:00:42.783
Eventually Soon when I have to come up with the.

00:00:42.844 --> 00:00:43.503
What are these called?

00:00:43.503 --> 00:00:44.103
Show openers?

00:00:44.124 --> 00:00:47.466
Yeah, okay, a little icebreaker if you will, icebreaker.

00:00:47.466 --> 00:00:50.987
Okay, what is the most cringe word for you?

00:00:51.188 --> 00:00:53.189
Slaw, slaw yeah.

00:00:53.588 --> 00:00:54.249
Use it in a sentence.

00:00:54.249 --> 00:00:54.509
What does?

00:00:54.530 --> 00:00:57.271
that even you know what slaw is Like the food Cabbage.

00:00:57.310 --> 00:00:58.531
Yeah, what's bad about?

00:00:58.652 --> 00:01:02.594
it Gross and I don't really like slaw.

00:01:02.594 --> 00:01:09.016
I only like it on barbecue sandwiches, okay, and it has to be basically like from Smithfield Chicken and Barbecue.

00:01:09.016 --> 00:01:12.697
Oh, so it's kind of sweet slaw, finely chopped cabbage.

00:01:12.697 --> 00:01:20.507
Okay, but just the word like, when she's like I'll go, let me get the value pack you know with the sandwich, and then she's like you want slaw on that.

00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.385
And I'm just like I do, but I don't want to say it.

00:01:29.385 --> 00:01:29.846
That's so good.

00:01:29.846 --> 00:01:30.448
Do you have one?

00:01:30.448 --> 00:01:32.234
The thing that came to mind was bud, hey, bud, oh yeah, hey, buddy.

00:01:32.234 --> 00:01:33.640
Like it feels so condescending.

00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:34.504
It's passive aggressive.

00:01:34.524 --> 00:01:37.358
Yeah, it's like it is passive, aggressive, but it's not.

00:01:37.358 --> 00:01:38.701
We were talking about this the other day.

00:01:38.701 --> 00:01:45.493
The guy at the convenience store, let's just say he's Middle Eastern, I don't know, it could be or Indian.

00:01:46.161 --> 00:01:47.506
I'm sorry for anybody no.

00:01:47.566 --> 00:01:52.447
I mean you had, I mean it's, but it's.

00:01:52.447 --> 00:01:55.927
Those guys are genuinely when it comes off their tongue.

00:01:55.927 --> 00:01:56.662
Is what I'm saying?

00:01:56.662 --> 00:01:58.509
Oh, I'm saying it's genuine.

00:01:58.509 --> 00:01:59.620
Yeah, I can't do this.

00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:00.141
I see what you mean.

00:02:00.162 --> 00:02:01.802
No, no no, I see what you mean.

00:02:01.802 --> 00:02:02.263
I trust you.

00:02:02.263 --> 00:02:04.945
I trust you Okay, but do you ever?

00:02:05.066 --> 00:02:05.305
use it.

00:02:05.305 --> 00:02:08.288
I call my son that hey bud, that's what my dad called me.

00:02:08.288 --> 00:02:09.790
No, not bud Buddy.

00:02:09.790 --> 00:02:15.316
Buddy, my dad would be like hey, buddy, it's your dad, or whatever, and it sounds very, it was very genuine.

00:02:15.395 --> 00:02:16.276
My dad yeah.

00:02:26.259 --> 00:02:29.813
So I ironically, even when I context In delivery, the guy at the convenience store with the accent sounds very genuine and I'm like I'm doing good buddy, how you doing.

00:02:29.813 --> 00:02:41.073
But if it's some asshole finance bro with like a Patagonia vest and a button-up shirt hits me at the coffee shop at 7.15 with a buddy, it's passive aggressive Totally.

00:02:41.073 --> 00:02:42.085
He's looking down on me.

00:02:42.085 --> 00:02:46.305
He wants to know why I'm still djing.

00:02:46.344 --> 00:02:47.852
Yeah you know we went to carolina together.

00:02:47.852 --> 00:02:52.907
Totally yeah, I'll punch him in the face, yeah fuck you bud can we?

00:02:52.907 --> 00:02:53.968
Even curse on here.

00:02:53.968 --> 00:02:58.239
I think so okay I think you don't mark the content.

00:02:58.278 --> 00:03:00.442
All right, whatever yeah, maybe on youtube.

00:03:00.442 --> 00:03:01.503
I don't think I've been doing that.

00:03:01.503 --> 00:03:02.625
Anyway, carry on.

00:03:03.225 --> 00:03:04.187
So you had gigs this weekend.

00:03:04.508 --> 00:03:04.907
I did.

00:03:05.187 --> 00:03:06.991
Any gig story stand out man.

00:03:08.111 --> 00:03:09.574
I'm just going to say this again.

00:03:09.574 --> 00:03:11.216
I said it years ago.

00:03:11.216 --> 00:03:21.997
This was before Instagram, when Facebook was like the king and I made a post about bringing children to a wedding and it went so sideways on me that I had to delete the post.

00:03:21.997 --> 00:03:25.229
Somebody called me a sexist and this baby hater.

00:03:25.229 --> 00:03:25.890
This, that and the other.

00:03:25.890 --> 00:03:27.676
Listen, man, I'll start it by saying this.

00:03:27.957 --> 00:03:29.040
The bride had a daughter.

00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:31.366
Let's say she was five or six years old, right?

00:03:31.366 --> 00:03:32.610
By all means?

00:03:32.610 --> 00:03:42.550
Do I believe that that little girl had every right to be there, to be in the ceremony I think she was one of the flower girls To maybe even hang out, eat dinner and maybe dance a little bit, right?

00:03:42.550 --> 00:03:49.068
But once it crosses over to like Waka Flocka, like, I even got on the mic, did I not say this?

00:03:49.068 --> 00:03:54.508
I said it's time to put the kids to bed, kind of like a subtle hint, because they had been there so long.

00:03:54.508 --> 00:03:56.413
Passive, aggressive, very passive, aggressive.

00:03:56.413 --> 00:03:58.205
It was just aggressive.

00:03:58.205 --> 00:04:00.045
People were circled around them.

00:04:00.045 --> 00:04:06.693
They don't want to, you know, start to approach the DJ booth because all the kids are doing their circle thing, their little, you know little jigs.

00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:08.223
So how many other kids were there?

00:04:08.223 --> 00:04:10.789
Six, how many guests?

00:04:10.810 --> 00:04:11.953
140.

00:04:11.953 --> 00:04:14.201
So six or seven under the age of 10.

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.485
And they're dominating the dance floor 100%.

00:04:17.887 --> 00:04:24.819
It was genuinely affecting the vibe and the comfort level of the other adult guests to approach the dance floor and get on it.

00:04:24.819 --> 00:04:30.752
They felt like they had to stand around them and watch them and, kind of you know, imitate them and cheer them on and it hurt the dance floor man.

00:04:30.884 --> 00:04:48.908
There's no part of me that says she should not have been there, or her cousins or let's assume those were other family members, sure, brothers, sisters that had little kids, sure, but there's a certain point, man, where it has to turn the corner and they need to go.

00:04:48.908 --> 00:04:49.113
They could have set up.

00:04:49.113 --> 00:04:49.742
This place was in a gorgeous venue.

00:04:49.742 --> 00:04:49.887
We've never been there.

00:04:49.887 --> 00:04:50.860
It was a glass restaurant in Durham, Super cool.

00:04:50.860 --> 00:04:51.346
You should take your wife there.

00:04:51.346 --> 00:04:52.470
It's called the Glass House Kitchen.

00:04:52.470 --> 00:04:53.273
I've never been.

00:04:53.273 --> 00:04:53.995
He had never been.

00:04:54.305 --> 00:04:56.646
Nobody from a company has ever been, maybe two years old.

00:04:56.646 --> 00:05:03.593
It was kind of a little campus, other businesses, laboratories and stuff, these super modern buildings, but they had a whole glass conference room upstairs.

00:05:03.593 --> 00:05:11.562
They could have put on Barney or whatever the hell kids watch, have a popcorn machine, maybe a balloon maker, face painting, something for these kids.

00:05:11.562 --> 00:05:16.875
Yeah, that they would have enjoyed even more than wrecking the dance floor.

00:05:16.875 --> 00:05:18.365
Put up two college girls up there, or two college kids up there.

00:05:18.365 --> 00:05:22.495
They would have looked after them, entertained them for two hours from nine to 11.

00:05:22.495 --> 00:05:25.052
There's just no way they wouldn't have had more fun doing that.

00:05:25.052 --> 00:05:26.776
I don't know, am I being an asshole?

00:05:26.944 --> 00:05:32.692
We have that a lot in the Florida market that we have an office in because it's destination, so everybody's bringing their families.

00:05:32.932 --> 00:05:33.213
Right.

00:05:33.495 --> 00:05:34.399
Did it ever turn the corner?

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:35.184
It did.

00:05:35.184 --> 00:05:41.536
Yeah, I mean we had a good time in the corner, but I mean it definitely affected the starting point.

00:05:41.536 --> 00:05:49.889
They kind of came and went a few times yeah, so then it kind, of you know, broke it up a few other times the worst is when the kid is coming up requesting a song.

00:05:49.889 --> 00:05:51.173
Oh, no, shout out to those kids.

00:05:51.173 --> 00:05:55.675
They would dance to whatever I was playing, which was the bride's 60 song request list.

00:05:55.675 --> 00:05:58.927
They never tried to deviate, they never asked for anything crazy.

00:05:58.927 --> 00:06:00.711
They didn't ask for anything, they just danced.

00:06:00.752 --> 00:06:05.244
The worst, though, is when they go back to their parents and say hey right, baby shark right.

00:06:05.244 --> 00:06:10.166
And then they come up to the parents like hey, can you play this for my kid, then you feel like a complete man if you don't play it.

00:06:10.166 --> 00:06:10.728
You know what I mean.

00:06:10.728 --> 00:06:11.591
You're cooked at that point.

00:06:11.591 --> 00:06:13.925
Yeah, you're a jukebox, the worst that did not happen.

00:06:14.005 --> 00:06:15.687
So I just I don't know, man.

00:06:15.687 --> 00:06:21.175
I know this is probably going to come off the wrong way, but I'm not a big fan of kids at weddings, and I guess the last part.

00:06:21.175 --> 00:06:26.605
As a parent myself, the only time that I ever took a kid to a wedding was when I wanted to leave early.

00:06:26.605 --> 00:06:31.127
I knew I didn't want to be there in the first place, so I took the kid as an ejection seat.

00:06:31.127 --> 00:06:36.846
I knew I could pinch him or something and make him cry and then I could get out of the wedding.

00:06:37.225 --> 00:06:42.011
Right, there's just no part of you that's going to take a child to a wedding again, no matter what age, to where.

00:06:42.011 --> 00:06:48.297
You're not going to have one eye on them the whole time or worry that they're going to stick their finger in the cake or, you know, run off or something like that.

00:06:48.297 --> 00:06:58.151
You're just not going to have a good time yourself, right, and you deserve to have a good time, right, totally, you've got your wife or your girlfriend You're going paid for.

00:06:58.151 --> 00:07:03.060
Basically, if you want to have a good time, you're just not going to with that level of responsibility.

00:07:03.225 --> 00:07:08.016
You ever try to hit this off at the pass and bring it up when you see the demographics on your planning calls you ever address it?

00:07:08.305 --> 00:07:14.274
You know, I think it goes back to you and I you know, when we talk about these planning calls, I think mine just aren't as in-depth as yours.

00:07:14.274 --> 00:07:19.432
I think, if I really knew, it was a heavy kid you know, if you knew this one, would you have mentioned it?

00:07:19.432 --> 00:07:24.459
I would have said, hey, here's a suggestion, and I would have brought up this conference room movie night.

00:07:24.459 --> 00:07:28.492
Yeah, yeah, I would have, and not felt bad about it as a parent myself.

00:07:28.492 --> 00:07:31.567
It's not like I'm speaking, you know, out of turn, or something.

00:07:31.687 --> 00:07:35.105
I know what it's like to be a parent and I have to be responsible for a kid at a wedding.

00:07:35.105 --> 00:07:41.297
Hey, you know, these parents are gonna have a lot more fun and this dance floor is gonna be a lot more your friends and family.

00:07:41.297 --> 00:07:48.367
Let them dance a little bit, let them open the floor, but like then be like hey guys, we got, you know, pjs and movie night and pop.

00:07:48.367 --> 00:07:51.855
I mean I can think of all kinds of cool stuff you could do, for it's two hours.

00:07:51.855 --> 00:07:53.108
Yeah, it's two hours.

00:07:53.108 --> 00:07:55.279
That I need, you know, the dance floor I'll never forget.

00:07:55.300 --> 00:08:07.312
I had one where there was a kid and you could tell this couple who had they had like three or four kids yeah, yeah, they were making the circuit and so what you mean making the circuit of like going to weddings with all of their friends and bringing in their kids.

00:08:07.353 --> 00:08:11.451
Oh, because this is how I knew, like towards the end of the night, I'm hearing this like machine.

00:08:11.451 --> 00:08:13.562
I'm like what is going on like is this?

00:08:13.562 --> 00:08:14.064
Like whatever?

00:08:14.064 --> 00:08:19.612
And I'm looking and they've literally brought a blow-up mattress that they're putting in the corner of the room I'm.

00:08:19.632 --> 00:08:21.175
come on, bro, I'm not joking.

00:08:21.615 --> 00:08:25.610
They have all three kids sleeping on the mattress and I felt a little deflated.

00:08:25.610 --> 00:08:33.793
I'm like, hey, my music isn't good enough that you can't sleep Right, right All of it, but I'm kind of glad they are sleeping at the same point, right, right, but you're talking about the music's bumping and everything.

00:08:43.705 --> 00:08:44.668
These little kids are just s mattress.

00:08:44.687 --> 00:08:45.772
The fact that they brought the mattress.

00:08:45.792 --> 00:08:46.495
Yes, I'm like this is a thing.

00:08:46.495 --> 00:08:49.083
Yeah, no, man, you got to get a sitter, man, you know, I mean, you know, your, your daughter's what?

00:08:49.083 --> 00:08:49.384
Two, now four?

00:08:49.384 --> 00:08:50.727
Yeah, went quick, that went quick.

00:08:50.727 --> 00:08:52.351
Yeah, oh yeah, and he is four.

00:08:52.351 --> 00:08:57.961
But also think about, like, how many things you brought her to that are fine, right, come over to joe's house to watch football.

00:08:57.961 --> 00:08:59.687
Yeah, no problem, there's 10 other adults.

00:08:59.687 --> 00:09:01.936
Right, right, she can run, run around, she can have a good time.

00:09:01.936 --> 00:09:07.878
But if you're going out for a dinner, an anniversary, a birthday, you don't want a child there.

00:09:07.878 --> 00:09:13.845
Whether they're on their best behavior, they're on their iPad, they're doing whatever, it's still a level of responsibility.

00:09:13.845 --> 00:09:15.471
You've got to take your drinking down.

00:09:15.471 --> 00:09:18.727
You've got to keep an eye on her, you know, is she happy, is she hungry?

00:09:18.727 --> 00:09:20.570
Like how long is she going to last?

00:09:20.570 --> 00:09:23.292
Whereas everything else is so much more relaxing.

00:09:23.292 --> 00:09:27.135
If you just get a sitter, I don't know, man, anyway, that's what happened.

00:09:27.296 --> 00:09:30.599
I don't know Do we even want to go into yours.

00:09:30.599 --> 00:09:31.799
I got one more.

00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.501
Well, you're good, I just want to.

00:09:33.501 --> 00:09:34.142
I got a question.

00:09:34.465 --> 00:09:35.408
Okay, Snake Juan, by the way.

00:09:35.408 --> 00:09:37.592
Snake Juan on the board and now has a that's a microphone.

00:09:37.592 --> 00:09:39.197
Go on, so it's for both of you.

00:09:39.378 --> 00:09:43.210
How do you deal with somebody trying to tell you to move on from a song?

00:09:43.532 --> 00:09:45.070
Yeah, you saw that a couple times.

00:09:45.070 --> 00:09:47.764
There was this thing of wrap it up or a cut.

00:09:47.764 --> 00:09:50.530
It was the same guy twice got me with a.

00:09:50.530 --> 00:10:00.253
He either did that motion where he older guy, no, no, a 30 year old Family member Don't know Non-VIP Guest, wedding guest, love those.

00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.326
And I was ripping through it.

00:10:02.326 --> 00:10:08.129
It was a minute and a half into the song and I was on to the next one, so all he had to wait was another 30 seconds or whatever.

00:10:08.129 --> 00:10:08.581
I don't care.

00:10:08.581 --> 00:10:11.900
If it would have been a hot girl, I don't care who it was, I stone face you.

00:10:11.900 --> 00:10:14.943
And then I let it play another at least 32 bars.

00:10:14.943 --> 00:10:17.466
I let it play even longer than I was going to.

00:10:17.466 --> 00:10:26.216
So he intentionally knows he doesn't have that power over me, because if he thinks he has, that power then he's going to do it all night.

00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:30.947
So he did it once or twice, and then once I stone-faced him and then let it ride even longer.

00:10:30.947 --> 00:10:32.109
We never saw it again.

00:10:32.168 --> 00:10:32.629
Am I right?

00:10:32.629 --> 00:10:33.873
Yeah, what about you?

00:10:33.873 --> 00:10:43.884
I kind of go passive-aggressive and when they do the wrap up I'm like, oh yeah, I got you, don't?

00:10:43.904 --> 00:10:44.086
change it?

00:10:44.086 --> 00:10:44.548
Yeah, me neither.

00:10:44.548 --> 00:10:46.215
That's what I'm saying, because then they own you.

00:10:46.215 --> 00:10:48.863
Yeah, no, yeah, same same answer, basically, but he's doing.

00:10:49.083 --> 00:10:57.770
He's doing the big smile, thumbs up, I'm doing the stone face nasty but the thing was, is like it used to really bother me years ago, like it still irks me.

00:10:57.770 --> 00:11:08.126
I mean, I'm it's not gonna ruin my night, but it bothers me but I think me being passive, aggressive and being like yeah, yeah, I got you, I'm listening, like I'm doing that for my own benefit too so I don't get rattled.

00:11:08.226 --> 00:11:09.208
Same, you know what I mean.

00:11:09.208 --> 00:11:10.500
The stone face is the same.

00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:13.312
It's the same reaction, just a different facial expression.

00:11:13.413 --> 00:11:14.698
Yeah, oh, that's classic.

00:11:14.698 --> 00:11:18.024
Good question, there's a great question actually Speaking of questions.

00:11:18.024 --> 00:11:18.946
What a great segue.

00:11:18.946 --> 00:11:20.148
Okay, we got one today.

00:11:20.148 --> 00:11:21.730
We got one this is great.

00:11:21.770 --> 00:11:24.294
Yeah, chris Ortlieb from Powell, ohio.

00:11:24.294 --> 00:11:27.591
Chris Powell Couldn't tell you what is your exit strategy.

00:11:27.591 --> 00:11:32.702
I'm 46 and I'm considered selling my LLC and concentrating on something else.

00:11:32.702 --> 00:11:35.066
I still love DJing but won't be able to do it forever.

00:11:35.066 --> 00:11:36.488
First I got to retort.

00:11:36.488 --> 00:11:37.649
Can I retort Retort?

00:11:37.668 --> 00:11:43.535
It's not like the NFL, like you know, like Tom Brady was an old man at 40 or whatever he quit at.

00:11:43.535 --> 00:11:51.369
I mean I'm not saying forever, forever, but like Randy is we just celebrated his 60th birthday in Vegas does 110 shows a year.

00:11:51.369 --> 00:11:55.030
Like he's taking care of himself, he's in good shape, he's in high demand.

00:11:55.030 --> 00:12:07.966
I mean, I'm not saying you could do it forever, but you can certainly scale your business to where all you have to do is be the agent you know for these other DJs, start hiring, you know, 25 and 30 year olds instead of 60 year olds or whatever.

00:12:07.966 --> 00:12:11.042
Again, randy was probably in his thirties when we started working together.

00:12:11.102 --> 00:12:18.005
But you know, I don't want you to think that there's like a some sort of a rip cord and and this magic age where you have to get out of DJing.

00:12:18.005 --> 00:12:25.948
If you love it, keep doing it, and people are still requesting you and you're in demand and you're keeping up with the trends, whether it's your clothes or your music or whatever your gear.

00:12:25.948 --> 00:12:27.264
I mean, keep on doing it.

00:12:27.264 --> 00:12:41.970
But I guess this is always going to be my point and my message to everybody that owns a DJ company that the more people you have working under you is truly your legacy and your longevity, because I know that I'll still be 70 or 80 years old running some sort of a DJ company.

00:12:42.129 --> 00:12:43.410
Am I going to be out there doing shows?

00:12:43.410 --> 00:12:44.572
No, probably not.

00:12:44.572 --> 00:12:49.116
But I don't have this age Originally I thought it was at 50, but why?

00:12:49.116 --> 00:12:51.706
I still love doing it, never dread putting on that suit.

00:12:51.706 --> 00:13:02.807
On Saturday I go out and play the party, have a great time and make some good money and then have all my other DJs out playing as well and eventually in the future it's just them out there and I'm just booking the shows or sitting on the beach, whatever it is.

00:13:02.807 --> 00:13:07.591
I don't have an exit strategy, I guess sorry, I never really got to the end of the question.

00:13:07.591 --> 00:13:09.813
I really don't have this exit strategy.

00:13:09.813 --> 00:13:16.922
I don't know that Bunn DJ Company, and not just because it's named after Joe Bunn is sellable without Joe Bunn part of it.

00:13:16.942 --> 00:13:19.688
Selling a DJ company, I think, is a tough thing in general.

00:13:19.688 --> 00:13:21.413
Anyways, it's very niche.

00:13:21.413 --> 00:13:28.307
It's not like you're, you know, selling a fast food restaurant or you know something that's got name recognition or tons of assets right.

00:13:28.427 --> 00:13:34.751
To sell your company for something that you can live off of, you're going to have to have scaled it pretty significantly to be able to do it.

00:13:34.751 --> 00:13:37.484
I don't know if this person's a single op, but that makes it even harder.

00:13:37.484 --> 00:13:39.506
So to your point, I mean, I agree with you.

00:13:39.506 --> 00:13:43.432
I'm in my forties at this point and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.

00:13:43.432 --> 00:13:49.100
I love it, but I've also, I think, just like an athlete, you kind of have to adjust your rhythms and the different things.

00:13:49.100 --> 00:13:52.441
Like I can't work as many shows as I used to, and it not affect me.

00:13:52.441 --> 00:13:53.522
Can I still do a triple?

00:13:53.522 --> 00:13:54.361
Absolutely.

00:13:54.361 --> 00:13:56.003
Will I be wrecked on Monday?

00:13:56.003 --> 00:13:56.763
Absolutely.

00:13:56.842 --> 00:13:57.563
I'll be tired, right.

00:13:57.683 --> 00:13:58.703
But you know you adjust.

00:13:58.703 --> 00:14:03.086
It's kind of like you know, I think of like the great athletes out there their game changed.

00:14:03.086 --> 00:14:13.910
They could still be super effective, but they had to change the way they did things To your point, staying up on trends, whether that's clothing, all of that, and if you really do love it, like that's the other thing, you can't fake passion.

00:14:13.910 --> 00:14:29.578
And when I get out there and and I see that I'm affecting it in a positive manner, like that could keep me going for years and years Till the point where it's like, oh, this guy's playing all the old stuff and like nothing current, Then you know, at that point I can probably see the writing on the wall and you kind of probably know, I think so I don't know.

00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:45.547
I'm always a fan of having multiple revenue streams in general, so I don't think want to walk away.

00:14:45.547 --> 00:14:46.009
Hopefully you've got some other things you can kind of get into.

00:14:46.009 --> 00:14:46.532
That would be my other suggestion.

00:14:46.532 --> 00:14:52.692
I agree, I think you can do this for as long as you want, but I would have other sources of income Again, whether it's Amazon store or affiliate links or content creation of some sort.

00:14:52.692 --> 00:14:58.447
I definitely think there needs to be other revenue streams, but man, I don't know, 46 still seems like a young man.

00:14:58.466 --> 00:14:59.469
I don't know.

00:14:59.469 --> 00:15:03.294
The exit strategy for me is not probably the same as other people.

00:15:03.294 --> 00:15:06.881
I just don't feel like I need to quit doing this.

00:15:06.881 --> 00:15:09.850
Do you transition in roles, from becoming the entertainer to the owner?

00:15:09.850 --> 00:15:14.602
Sure Right, but I still think you can run a DJ company until you're no longer on this earth.

00:15:14.602 --> 00:15:15.484
You know what I mean.

00:15:15.484 --> 00:15:19.527
I really do Good question, shout out Chris Ortlieb in Powell, ohio.

00:15:19.527 --> 00:15:21.708

00:15:28.735 --> 00:15:29.817
