You know what I mean there's no way your daughter knows how to spell her last name.

00:00:45.941 --> 00:00:46.682
She does not.

00:00:46.682 --> 00:00:52.765
Does not, but she has got my signature down now she does so she goes like like it was really fast.

00:00:52.765 --> 00:00:53.906
She doesn't even spell anything right.

00:00:53.906 --> 00:00:54.789
Light forgery.

00:00:54.909 --> 00:00:58.424
A light forgery on checks uh from a five-year-old.

00:00:58.424 --> 00:00:59.027

00:01:24.290 --> 00:01:28.828
Oh, wow, because if you're saying them wrong you're going to be outed as an imposter.

00:01:28.828 --> 00:01:29.790
Okay, as a Yankee.

Yeah, I do know that one.

00:01:41.649 --> 00:01:44.091

Wilson.

00:02:02.587 --> 00:02:05.567
No, there's a T in there, it's just Wilson.

00:02:05.567 --> 00:02:07.088
Yeah, but there's yeah.

00:02:07.088 --> 00:02:09.289
You would say like I'd be, like I'm from Wilson.

00:02:09.590 --> 00:02:15.092
Oh, wow, and that's just the accent doing that, that's just the way.

00:02:15.432 --> 00:02:21.635
People definitely from Wilson say it, and then most just common redneck North.

00:02:21.876 --> 00:02:25.078
Carolinians, I think I saw like a sweater that had that with the T on there.

00:02:25.078 --> 00:02:25.997
Yes, you did.

00:02:28.539 --> 00:02:30.018
Wilson, I agree, there is no T in it, but you would add it.

00:02:30.018 --> 00:02:31.764
Got it Okay next.

00:02:32.045 --> 00:02:35.805

It is Beaufort here in South Carolina.

00:02:38.729 --> 00:02:42.805
Same spelling Beaufort, but in North Carolina Beaufort, you're right.

00:02:42.805 --> 00:02:44.709

Well, we have one in florida, so we have tops, tops, okay, okay.

00:03:25.430 --> 00:03:27.765
So it's kind of like, yeah, and that's the way they say in florida as well.

00:03:27.765 --> 00:03:32.847
Yeah, interesting because 99% of people are gonna say top sale, yeah, yeah, definitely topsoil.

00:03:33.027 --> 00:03:43.403
Okay, I thought I'd stump you there, you know this place sounds like a another hawaiian spot curie beach it is curie beach, not cure beach yeah, curie beach all right I think that was the last one, wasn't it?

00:03:43.403 --> 00:03:45.387

Yeah, man, fight bill, I don't know, I mean it's you're putting too.

00:03:53.418 --> 00:04:05.567
I mean, yes, technically it should be fayetteville, right, but those people there, most people, say it's almost like f-a-y-d-v-u-l fable when you say that's likequon Like Fayetteville.

00:04:05.788 --> 00:04:06.449
Fayetteville.

00:04:06.449 --> 00:04:08.306
Yeah, yeah, they don't really pronounce the T.

00:04:08.419 --> 00:04:10.868
They're leaving out some letters Okay.

00:04:10.868 --> 00:04:12.626
I think you did pretty good.

00:04:12.626 --> 00:04:14.350
I feel like you were 50 for 6.

00:04:14.350 --> 00:04:14.774
Yeah, 50 for 6.

00:04:14.774 --> 00:04:15.500
Something like that, yeah.

00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.487
Well, I got a gear thing for you today.

00:04:17.487 --> 00:04:27.324
Ooh, find, okay, so you're on your phone.

00:04:27.343 --> 00:04:27.947
Okay, what would you call this?

00:04:27.947 --> 00:04:29.615
The internal camera that is forward facing, so like when you're looking at this way?

00:04:29.634 --> 00:04:30.096
yeah, never the good one.

00:04:30.096 --> 00:04:31.742
No, you want to be using the back right.

00:04:32.324 --> 00:04:33.829
Oh, I've I got targeted by this.

00:04:33.829 --> 00:04:35.235
The other day you purchased it.

00:04:35.235 --> 00:04:36.478
I did go ahead.

00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:42.461
Go ahead, talk to me so I've always never had good luck with you know, taking video this way, the selfie camera.

00:04:42.461 --> 00:04:48.372
Yeah, you're speaking about totally so this allows you to be able to yes, see it.

00:04:48.372 --> 00:04:57.461
I gotta see what you're seeing bro so I've got two pieces that it comes with here actually has a remote too, which I did not bring, okay, but it's literally a portable screen.

00:04:57.502 --> 00:04:59.908
Yeah, by king ma the manufacturer.

00:04:59.908 --> 00:05:01.492
Okay, I'll let you guess where that's coming from.

00:05:01.492 --> 00:05:04.702
Probably, but price point thirty dollars, no, thirty, that's it.

00:05:04.702 --> 00:05:05.264
That's coming from probably.

00:05:05.264 --> 00:05:05.983
Price point $30.

00:05:05.983 --> 00:05:06.444
No, $30.

00:05:06.444 --> 00:05:06.704
That's it.

00:05:06.704 --> 00:05:06.865
That's.

00:05:06.865 --> 00:05:18.697
It Comes with a proprietary mount that is magnetic, okay, so what you're going to do if you're doing it on the backside here, put it like this Oops, I'm sorry, it's got a little spring to it.

00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.346
It actually also has a mount, so you can screw something in there and then this just sits in here.

00:05:25.346 --> 00:05:30.550
Okay, like this, it's magnetic, okay, so if you wanted to see yourself, power button.

00:05:30.730 --> 00:05:30.951
Yeah.

00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:32.641
So you're seeing it pop up here.

00:05:32.641 --> 00:05:39.473
It'll tell you that you need to connect via the Wi-Fi, not the Wi-Fi that you're on.

00:05:39.473 --> 00:05:40.836
That has its own proprietary.

00:05:40.857 --> 00:05:41.819
Wi-Fi Right right right.

00:05:41.985 --> 00:05:43.389
So I'm going to jump on that real quick.

00:05:43.389 --> 00:05:44.153
Here we go.

00:05:44.153 --> 00:05:46.911
Step two is oh, I need to cast the screen.

00:05:46.911 --> 00:05:48.454
Here it is, as you can see.

00:05:48.454 --> 00:05:52.271
Wow, you can see yourself in there.

00:05:52.271 --> 00:05:54.711
Right, so you could be recording content this way?

00:05:55.132 --> 00:06:07.887
Yeah, there I am, and now you can see it $ there I am Now, you can see it $30.

00:06:07.908 --> 00:06:10.535
Where would this come in handy, I think, if you're at a show and you wanted to film yourself DJing with the good?

00:06:10.555 --> 00:06:10.754
side of it.

00:06:10.754 --> 00:06:13.000
You can put this there and you can be monitoring yourself of what you're doing with that screen.

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:13.963
Dude, 1,000% Isn't that crazy?

00:06:13.963 --> 00:06:14.425
That's a great shot.

00:06:14.425 --> 00:06:16.588
I did get targeted, but it was expensive.

00:06:16.588 --> 00:06:17.649
I thought $30.

00:06:17.649 --> 00:06:19.432
And you just charge it up.

00:06:19.432 --> 00:06:20.754
But it was expensive, I thought $30.

00:06:20.774 --> 00:06:23.437
And you just charge it up, stick it on that, charge it up, yep USB-C.

00:06:23.437 --> 00:06:24.259
I think so.

00:06:24.259 --> 00:06:24.658
Usb-c, yeah, USB-C, Yep.

00:06:24.658 --> 00:06:27.403
So it goes in the actual with a nice little bag yeah a little satchel.

00:06:27.403 --> 00:06:28.644
Yeah, a little satchel, I love a satchel.

00:06:29.305 --> 00:06:47.795
I love the word satchel and dongle a few times for some gigs, and it works great, you know if you just need something you're in a pinch or just need to record something content wise, you know, and you're just like I love that I have to line it up, re-record it two or three times we'll put the link down below.

00:06:47.954 --> 00:07:03.790
Let's hit this question, okay, mike cataldi, my guy out in phoenix, arizona, what does your planning and wedding preparation process look like and what are some of your favorite discovery questions that you like to ask during your planning meetings with your couples?

00:07:03.790 --> 00:07:08.826
So this, I'm assuming the show is booked, right, yeah, right, right, right.

00:07:08.826 --> 00:07:18.072
And then you're getting into like the minutiae of how do you want this thing to go down do you do one planning meeting only, or do you do multiples?

00:07:18.552 --> 00:07:19.053
I'm a one-er.

00:07:19.053 --> 00:07:21.177
Yours is late, though Way late.

00:07:21.444 --> 00:07:25.716
Like the week before, damn near, yeah, wow, under two weeks.

00:07:25.716 --> 00:07:32.430
The one time that I didn't do it and this was recent history, maybe three or four years ago I got the weddings mixed up.

00:07:32.430 --> 00:07:33.434
Did I tell you this story?

00:07:33.473 --> 00:07:34.504
Yes, you did, yeah, and.

00:07:34.524 --> 00:07:40.869
I started playing the wrong playlist, wrong playlist, and I was like three songs in the girl came.

00:07:40.869 --> 00:07:41.610
I was like yo, what are you playing?

00:07:41.610 --> 00:07:49.396
And I think she like even said it in the review oh, no, like she got me and you've always operated that way and I've never, never, had somebody be like I don't have time for this shit right now.

00:07:49.757 --> 00:08:00.072
Yeah, I'm surprised I was too when we started this policy and even with all my djs, nobody's ever said, man, we just hit that girl up too late, or that guy up too late, you, you know they're pissed off about it.

00:08:00.072 --> 00:08:03.725
We've never gotten that kind of blowback or feedback, so we've stuck to the policy.

00:08:03.725 --> 00:08:04.468
That's incredible.

00:08:04.908 --> 00:08:11.855
So by that point I mean it's all planned out again, man, when you hit a certain milestone or a certain point in your career.

00:08:11.855 --> 00:08:16.607
The majority of the shows that we do are going to be with some sort of planner.

00:08:16.607 --> 00:08:27.170
Now I don't necessarily want to say that's like Kathy with you know, raleigh, wedding planner teamcom, it could be the person that's assigned to that wedding that is working at that hotel.

00:08:27.391 --> 00:08:33.732
They're either going to have given us a PDF whether it's a wedding planner or somebody from the hotel with at least the basics.

00:08:33.732 --> 00:08:38.690
Then the couple does have the opportunity to go in that portal on DJ event planner and fill out the rest.

00:08:38.690 --> 00:08:40.852
Right, you use Vibo for that very reason.

00:08:40.852 --> 00:08:52.009
Now I've got 90% of it and then I'll have a few questions that are either for the planner A lot of the time the planner just says I want all questions directed to me or the couple.

00:08:52.009 --> 00:08:53.734
You know I'll have a few questions for them.

00:08:53.955 --> 00:08:59.850
So a great question that comes up a lot for us is do I play the whole song again for the special dances or fade it?

00:08:59.850 --> 00:09:01.553
Are you doing a private last dance?

00:09:01.553 --> 00:09:04.498
Who's giving a toast and in what order?

00:09:04.498 --> 00:09:06.240
And then, what is their status?

00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:07.288
Who is Kelly?

00:09:07.288 --> 00:09:08.812
Kelly could be a girl, man or a woman.

00:09:08.812 --> 00:09:10.275
Oh, no, kelly's the father of the ride.

00:09:10.275 --> 00:09:11.306
Yeah, I need to know that.

00:09:11.306 --> 00:09:27.491
Right, I can look at that planner man honestly and in less than 10 minutes, list out, let's say, six to eight questions, right, and once I've got those, I basically take all of that and put it on two sheets on Pages on the iPad, and the beauty of Pages is it's in the cloud.

00:09:27.491 --> 00:09:32.490
So if I update it on the iPad, it's going to update on my phone, it's going to update on my laptop.

00:09:32.490 --> 00:09:33.072
Blah, blah, blah.

00:09:33.365 --> 00:09:36.288
So you know, I just heard this actually this week.

00:09:36.467 --> 00:09:37.288
Yeah, J-March with Vivo.

00:09:37.288 --> 00:09:38.309
Actually this week J March with 5.0.

00:09:38.409 --> 00:09:39.291
Yeah, you know that.

00:09:39.291 --> 00:09:50.301
You can take your PDF, drag it into your Notes app and if you have an Apple Pencil, you can edit the PDF, scratch things off do everything with it.

00:09:50.301 --> 00:09:52.062
So if you had it, it doesn't even have to be on your phone.

00:09:52.062 --> 00:09:54.725
It could be your Notes app on your iPad is what I'm saying Sure, sure, sure, sure.

00:09:54.945 --> 00:09:55.606
I'm just curious.

00:09:58.115 --> 00:09:59.360
Don't have to recreate it in pages.

00:09:59.481 --> 00:09:59.702
Right.

00:09:59.894 --> 00:10:02.302
Literally, it's an edible document at that point.

00:10:02.322 --> 00:10:02.582
Sure.

00:10:02.764 --> 00:10:03.446
Within notes.

00:10:03.695 --> 00:10:04.726
I had no idea that you could do that.

00:10:04.726 --> 00:10:05.313
I don't think I knew that.

00:10:05.655 --> 00:10:06.772
Let me go back to one more question.

00:10:06.772 --> 00:10:08.120
Okay, so a week prior.

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:19.482
You really can't mess with too much at that point or get too creative with anything with a week to go as far as, like you know, doing anything, have probably sent in an email a few weeks or even months prior.

00:10:31.054 --> 00:10:40.923
So in my Dropbox right now there's a folder that says for upcoming shows and there might be some wedding in February where some bride has sent me an edit of my girl and thriller that she's going to do with her dad, or she asked for it months ago.

00:10:40.923 --> 00:10:42.139
Can you guys do this?

00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:52.128
I sent it to Randy, made him do it and then he sent it to me and I'm just sitting it there February 14th 2025, susie and her dad special dance or whatever I've labeled it.

00:10:52.128 --> 00:10:56.220
So anything like that has been asked for long ago.

00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:58.585
So it wasn't necessarily a planning meeting.

00:10:58.706 --> 00:11:02.340
It was just an exchange of maybe a couple of emails or something like that.

00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:07.548
And so they might not talk to you from the time that they sign all the way until a week before.

00:11:07.914 --> 00:11:12.563
But, they are getting a trickle of emails, helpful emails.

00:11:12.563 --> 00:11:16.376
Or have you made your payment, or have you turned in your planner?

00:11:16.376 --> 00:11:24.365
Or we would like to get all your playlists from Spotify, or you know like they're never like left alone for 12 months or nine months.

00:11:24.365 --> 00:11:25.086
You know what I mean.

00:11:25.086 --> 00:11:26.841
There's always a little bit of communication.

00:11:26.961 --> 00:11:32.365
And again anytime they email me or the office or their DJ, they're hearing back the same day.

00:11:32.365 --> 00:11:43.229
I don't let my guys go more than 24 hours without responding, unless it's on the weekend when we're discovery questions that you ask in the first 10 minutes, that you're trying to assess these people.

00:11:43.229 --> 00:11:49.461
I think that the main things I want to get are that open dance Spotify link more than anything else.

00:11:49.461 --> 00:11:53.201
I want to know what to stay away from, and every once in a while I'm shocked.

00:11:53.655 --> 00:11:54.720
We don't want to hear Mr Brightside.

00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:02.943
I'm like I would have played Mr Brightside.

00:12:02.943 --> 00:12:07.809
We don't want to hear right more than anything else right I also want to know.

00:12:08.150 --> 00:12:14.232
Most of the couples I'm doing are very in tune and have been to a lot of weddings by this point.

00:12:14.232 --> 00:12:18.143
What happened in the last wedding I would love to know was a band or dj.

00:12:18.143 --> 00:12:19.044
Were they any good?

00:12:19.044 --> 00:12:19.927
They were bad.

00:12:19.927 --> 00:12:20.676
Why were they bad?

00:12:20.676 --> 00:12:22.659
Well, the same songs, blah, blah.

00:12:22.659 --> 00:12:24.563
This guy was awkward on the mic.

00:12:24.563 --> 00:12:26.649
Whatever I'm like, yeah good, good to know.

00:12:26.649 --> 00:12:28.779
Like I'm not going to be that guy, you know what I mean.

00:12:28.779 --> 00:12:34.062
Like I'm like a therapist and I get more times than you can imagine every year.

00:12:34.062 --> 00:12:35.927
Well, what do you do if people aren't dancing?

00:12:35.927 --> 00:13:01.785
I don't have an instance where I can just say now might not have been 200 people jumped up at once and started dancing, but I don't have an a really reference for this.

00:13:01.966 --> 00:13:06.774
They've sat through a ceremony, then they had cocktails, then they had some food and then they had some more drinks.

00:13:06.774 --> 00:13:12.023
The progression is these lights are coming down, we're turning this shit up and we're going to have a party.

00:13:12.195 --> 00:13:15.684
It's just a known sequence of events that is happening right now.

00:13:15.684 --> 00:13:16.427
What about you?

00:13:16.427 --> 00:13:32.384
I mean chime in on this because I know you are a lot different than me in that this is much more because you were kind of cringing at this question a little bit, not because he asked it, but because it's so different for you because it is so bespoke, I guess.

00:13:32.423 --> 00:13:32.705
Yeah.

00:13:32.774 --> 00:13:43.302
So customized, so tailored, and you're doing so few events that each one is highly unique or different, so you don't have this cookie cookie cutter set of like.

00:13:43.302 --> 00:13:45.599
I can open this page and go all right.

00:13:45.599 --> 00:13:51.484
Here are the questions right now and then and I don't think there's anything wrong with that right, I don't everybody's got their own style.

00:13:51.985 --> 00:13:56.696
Two things I'd say if they're booking me, it's different than my team, so let's just go ahead and put that there same.

00:13:56.696 --> 00:14:15.077
So if they book me, I like to do an initial session with them at least 10 weeks in 10 weeks after signing or 10 weeks before the wedding after they signed, I do what I call a creative session yes and I call it actually a music foundation meeting and I'm setting the foundation musically for what they are looking for.

00:14:15.619 --> 00:14:21.898
So I'll have reviewed their Spotify playlists yeah, all those different things and then we'll sit on the session.

00:14:21.898 --> 00:14:30.663
I'll show them some edits of things that I put together Not many, I mean, we're talking about like five or six songs that you made that I'm pulling from my own library.

00:14:30.663 --> 00:14:32.743
Sometimes I'll have made something, but it's rare.

00:14:32.743 --> 00:14:40.063
But I'm just saying like maybe like they'll say hey, we really like this Justin Bieber song, but we've heard the original at 10 different weddings.

00:14:40.063 --> 00:14:41.927
Can you show me something a little bit different?

00:14:41.927 --> 00:14:47.184
Or I might just suggest it like hey, you've heard this at three probably of your latest, latest weddings.

00:14:47.184 --> 00:14:49.563
A good example of this would have been pink pony club.

00:14:50.035 --> 00:14:55.302
I had an after party recently and she's like I love the song but, I've heard it at every wedding I've been to.

00:14:55.302 --> 00:15:02.548
Like is there any way to flip it a bit, and so I had like three or four different versions of it and said, hey, did any of these resonate with?

00:15:02.587 --> 00:15:04.410
you, are we more on the hip hop tip?

00:15:04.410 --> 00:15:05.779
Are we going more like dance?

00:15:05.779 --> 00:15:06.844
Yeah, exactly.

00:15:07.696 --> 00:15:15.479
And the other thing I'll say that I do with this meeting it lasts 30 minutes, oh okay, maybe 45 if I wanted to extend it, for whatever reason.

00:15:15.499 --> 00:15:35.110
Okay, all of my meetings are now recorded on Zoom, and what I do is I put it into a folder for that couple, I dump it after the wedding's done, sure, and then we do another one, and this is the last one 60 days prior To the wedding, to the wedding, and the reason for that is they've had time to marinate on things.

00:15:35.110 --> 00:15:43.833
If I need to do anything unique or I need to be on the lookout for certain songs, maybe they've a new artist has come out all of a sudden and they're like we really are digging this person.

00:15:43.833 --> 00:15:45.947
Can we add some more of that flavor to it?

00:15:45.947 --> 00:15:58.047
Or whatever the case may be, I've got 60 days to kind of be on the lookout for it, or at least to keep it top of mind than like the week before and stressing myself out to look for some of this stuff Also recorded and this is something new that I've never done before.

00:15:58.047 --> 00:16:05.676
Usually I'd record those, maybe make some notes, whatever, on the way to the gig I'm playing back those sessions, oh shit.

00:16:06.041 --> 00:16:07.820
And I'm doing it at two speed, yeah.

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:09.706
And I don't have time to sit there and listen to an hour.

00:16:09.706 --> 00:16:12.927
Yeah, you know the drives and you're not watching it because there's no watch.

00:16:12.927 --> 00:16:23.575
No, so I'm just playing it on my phone and it of some things that we talked about See and eliminates the confusion of multiple shows, because you're bringing it back to this meeting for this couple.

00:16:23.615 --> 00:16:26.181
Totally Damn son that's cold, are y'all?

00:16:26.201 --> 00:16:27.285
listening to this shit, yeah.

00:16:27.801 --> 00:16:30.769
I had one where we did literally three sessions.

00:16:30.769 --> 00:16:38.620
Yeah, I had three sessions with this client and she had kind of updated things throughout, said some things in meeting one that she didn't say in meeting two or three.

00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:39.841
I'm like, oh, I need to remember that.

00:16:39.841 --> 00:16:42.043
So it was great to play it back.

00:16:42.524 --> 00:16:42.884
You know what?

00:16:42.884 --> 00:16:47.328
I was talking to somebody I think Nate Acosta was on he's like super sharp.

00:16:47.328 --> 00:16:49.551
Yeah, this dude knows content.

00:16:49.551 --> 00:16:52.734
He's like bilingual, he's like killing it down there in Dallas.

00:16:52.734 --> 00:16:55.635
Anyway, he was talking about that AI fathom.

00:16:55.635 --> 00:16:58.543
Note taker, yes, notetaker, yes, that you see a lot of people in the background.

00:16:58.543 --> 00:17:01.027
Have you seen, like what it spits out at the end of the meeting?

00:17:01.047 --> 00:17:06.340
I'm using something like that okay, well his basically spit out this pdf of the.

00:17:06.340 --> 00:17:16.400
You know he was basically saying when I meet with couples, I run this uh notetaker in the background, ai, and it spits out a pdf of like here were the key points, right, here is what we talked about.

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.523
Here are the deliverables that I'm going to give you.

00:17:18.523 --> 00:17:21.107
Here are the things I still need from you on these planning meetings.

00:17:21.107 --> 00:17:24.473
Right, and it was, I mean, laid out like a gorgeous pdf.

00:17:24.473 --> 00:17:29.550
Yeah, all from this note taker, which is whatever the minimal price was.

00:17:29.651 --> 00:17:37.565
I think there's like five of them that are really good, that are really good, and some of them will even tell you like this is when they got excited, like this is the most exciting part of the call like so it gives you energy?

00:17:37.565 --> 00:17:39.929
Yeah, yeah, just like I don't even know how it knows.

00:17:39.929 --> 00:17:40.690
That's crazy.

00:17:40.690 --> 00:17:44.915
Anyways, that's just something that I've been doing recently and it's been a game changer.

00:17:45.059 --> 00:17:57.105
Yeah, I'm like it's the thing that I do where I'm like practicing the name casey and savannah smith casey and savannah right yeah, just the whole day, right, anytime I have a conversation, I'm just bringing up their name this bride specifically just threw it in there.

00:17:57.244 --> 00:17:58.907
Oh, I love velvet rope.

00:17:58.907 --> 00:18:00.230
The janope, the Janet Jackson album.

00:18:00.410 --> 00:18:00.871
Who doesn't?

00:18:00.971 --> 00:18:04.983
Who doesn't right, I'm like, but she never put that in songs in there.

00:18:05.003 --> 00:18:06.208
She just mentioned it as an aside.

00:18:06.208 --> 00:18:11.545
I'm like ooh, I'm going to look at that album which cuts do I not have already prepped for that that I want to have in there.

00:18:11.685 --> 00:18:18.531
So it was like it's still just a reminder of like oh, I was listening.

00:18:18.692 --> 00:18:24.317
But it's almost like man the whole day and especially when you get there, becomes nothing but listening.

00:18:24.317 --> 00:18:29.608
You know like how many times have you heard something during a toast Like I heard this thing about Creed the other night during the toast?

00:18:29.608 --> 00:18:31.227
They were like this dude loves Creed.

00:18:31.227 --> 00:18:32.766
There's no Creed on this list.

00:18:32.766 --> 00:18:36.784
They didn't even really give me a list and it was a three-hour dance set.

00:18:36.784 --> 00:18:39.108
I'm like bro, you got Creed edits Bro.

00:18:39.108 --> 00:18:42.474
We dropped higher and I thought the building was going to call, I know, I told you.

00:18:42.820 --> 00:18:45.469
Then we dropped with Honors, wide Open or some other edit.

00:18:45.469 --> 00:18:48.346
You sent me Just again like a verse course Super short yeah.

00:18:48.346 --> 00:18:49.829
We were going nuts yeah mental.

00:18:49.970 --> 00:18:50.632
There was another one.

00:18:50.632 --> 00:18:52.560
A member of the wedding party came up to me.

00:18:52.560 --> 00:19:00.288
I was at the bar getting a soda, and it was during dinner or whatever and he was like are you DJ Bun?

00:19:00.288 --> 00:19:01.808
I don't know why people call me that.

00:19:01.808 --> 00:19:03.529
I'm like sure, yeah, I'm DJ Bun.

00:19:03.529 --> 00:19:07.212
He was like I won't be mad if you drop Someday by Sugar Ray.

00:19:07.212 --> 00:19:09.775
I knew I had it and I used to love Sugar Ray.

00:19:09.795 --> 00:19:11.195
I'm like is that going to go over?

00:19:11.195 --> 00:19:18.067
And it went over, wow, and it was just like we've're listening to Sugar Ray tonight.

00:19:18.067 --> 00:19:21.452
Yeah, and just dropped it right in in the middle of the set, wow, and it just went off.

00:19:21.452 --> 00:19:24.646
Wow, I mean, would you have just played that off the rip?

00:19:24.646 --> 00:19:26.372
No, not off the dome, exactly.

00:19:26.372 --> 00:19:29.823
Anyway, you've got to always have your ears open, I guess, the whole day.

00:19:29.823 --> 00:19:31.945
Yeah, this is good man, good episode.

00:19:31.945 --> 00:19:35.509
