bBrian b

00:00:10.510 --> 00:00:11.230
joe bunn.

00:00:11.471 --> 00:00:11.992
Here we are.

00:00:11.992 --> 00:00:13.032
Dude we did it

00:00:13.394 --> 00:00:15.154
We did it beyond the dj booth.

00:00:15.154 --> 00:00:16.135
Love it, man.

00:00:16.135 --> 00:00:17.945
This set is incredible dude.

00:00:18.326 --> 00:00:20.655
I spent all weekend working on this for you.

00:00:20.655 --> 00:00:24.672
You were sending me screenshots the entire time were you a non-believer I.

00:00:25.435 --> 00:00:28.865
It looks so much better like than real pictures oh my gosh dude

00:00:29.045 --> 00:00:38.722
I spent literally all weekend this is like one of my last weekends before, like fall wedding season, and I was like, if we're gonna do this, man, we're gonna do it the right way.

00:00:38.722 --> 00:00:40.689
And you got some foliage in here.

00:00:40.689 --> 00:00:41.731
I got a real plant.

00:00:41.731 --> 00:00:43.237
I got a corn plant.

00:00:43.237 --> 00:00:44.929
It'll probably die, it'll.

00:00:44.929 --> 00:00:45.959
It may or may not die.

00:00:45.959 --> 00:00:50.990
We could go artificial eventually, if this can, if this carries on, it could go artificial.

00:00:50.990 --> 00:00:53.182
We got the exposed bulbs.

00:00:53.182 --> 00:00:55.868
We got the wood wall with the soundproofing in it.

00:00:55.868 --> 00:01:03.728
The brand new samsung tv not sponsored, by the way uh, we got, we look, a little homage to mike walter.

00:01:03.728 --> 00:01:05.912
Did you notice that did homage?

00:01:05.912 --> 00:01:07.960
Yeah, so so talk about this.

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:09.424
Let's tell the people.

00:01:09.424 --> 00:01:13.858
So this is our, this is our trailer episode, right?

00:01:13.858 --> 00:01:15.364
So we've been doing some research.

00:01:15.364 --> 00:01:19.400
They say you need to have a trailer, so let's talk about what do you want to talk about first?

00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:20.281
You want to talk about why.

00:01:20.281 --> 00:01:21.825
Let's talk about why we're doing this.

00:01:21.825 --> 00:01:22.867
What is your why?

00:01:23.748 --> 00:01:24.430
there's so many?

00:01:24.430 --> 00:01:29.826
Uh one, I just have done podcasting for the last six years myself.

00:01:29.826 --> 00:01:31.170
Has it really been that long?

00:01:31.170 --> 00:01:37.611
Six years, dude, geez, bro, and I don't think people realize if you really want to do it right.

00:01:37.611 --> 00:01:39.902
Yeah, there's a lot of work that goes into it.

00:01:39.902 --> 00:01:44.652
Yes, and there's only so much I could sub out because I'm just such a control freak with it.

00:01:44.731 --> 00:01:45.192
Right right.

00:01:45.219 --> 00:02:10.312
So now that we have dual people who have the same quality control standards, let's say, I feel like we're going to figure out how to make this work in a way where it's not all on one person to do Not that it ever was for you, but for me it was Sure, sure, and so it's great to be able to kind of bounce ideas off of one another and not feel like I got to carry everything by myself as one that's probably my primary reason.

00:02:10.312 --> 00:02:10.901
What about you?

00:02:11.421 --> 00:02:11.641
Man.

00:02:11.641 --> 00:02:14.748
For me, the why is a couple of reasons.

00:02:14.748 --> 00:02:17.013
Really, the why is because you're here.

00:02:17.013 --> 00:02:18.001
You know what I mean.

00:02:18.001 --> 00:02:21.086
Like, for those of you who don't know, brian B has lived here.

00:02:21.086 --> 00:02:28.319
Has it been almost two years, almost two, yeah, and you know he's probably 15 minutes from the office.

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:33.432
Yeah, you got two people that are In the same space but different space.

00:02:33.432 --> 00:02:37.256
Yeah, totally kind of different shows come at things from different angles.

00:02:37.256 --> 00:02:44.157
And I, just as much as I loved Mike Walter I'm like touching these books as if he's no longer with us.

00:02:44.157 --> 00:02:45.469
He's definitely still with us.

00:02:45.469 --> 00:02:46.930
As much as I love Mike.

00:02:46.930 --> 00:02:49.831
It's hard, same as you, doing it solo.

00:02:49.831 --> 00:02:52.889
It's hard when you're not sitting here having a conversation.

00:02:52.889 --> 00:03:01.262
It is, you know, dealing with internet issues or you know, talking to each other through zoom, and we did it probably five years or more as well.

00:03:01.683 --> 00:03:18.615
I mean, we're right at 300 episodes and we did it almost every single week without fail right and it just became not fun, or or I don't even want to say that it was great to talk to mike every week, but it was almost like we got to the end and we're like this seems like the natural stopping point.

00:03:18.615 --> 00:03:22.168
I think we've said it all and the other wise just to help djs.

00:03:22.168 --> 00:03:23.009
Yeah, you know what I mean.

00:03:23.009 --> 00:03:23.229
This.

00:03:23.229 --> 00:03:29.950
This is going to be, um, that kind of podcast, so let's parlay that into what are we going to talk about?

00:03:29.950 --> 00:03:30.391
Like what?

00:03:30.391 --> 00:03:36.675
Why do people want to listen to joe bunn and b Brian B talk shit every week?

00:03:36.884 --> 00:03:38.912
Well, I was just going to say one last thing about you.

00:03:38.912 --> 00:03:42.695
Know why I feel like you hit that cougar slash.

00:03:42.695 --> 00:03:49.252
You know boomer generation, so you'll really be able to bring in that audience, whereas I'm going to be kind of with the young bucks.

00:03:49.252 --> 00:03:50.566
You know what I'm saying how?

00:03:50.705 --> 00:03:51.828
old are you now Really?

00:03:51.828 --> 00:03:53.230
How old are you now Seriously?

00:03:54.212 --> 00:03:57.177
Tell people 40 plus 40 plus, okay.

00:03:59.525 --> 00:04:00.326
But we got enough of a gap there.

00:04:00.326 --> 00:04:01.149
There is, there's a gap.

00:04:01.149 --> 00:04:02.010
There's definitely a gap.

00:04:02.010 --> 00:04:04.014
Okay, I'll take my audience.

00:04:04.014 --> 00:04:05.418
I love that audience.

00:04:05.418 --> 00:04:09.128
So what are we going to talk about?

00:04:09.128 --> 00:04:10.050
What is the point?

00:04:10.412 --> 00:04:16.985
I think you kind of hit on it just a minute ago, like we come at the business differently, but both have been somewhat successful.

00:04:16.985 --> 00:04:21.225
So I'm not saying that they have to go my direction or your direction.

00:04:21.225 --> 00:04:25.737
It could be a hybrid or maybe it's just a confirmation that they're on the right path.

00:04:25.737 --> 00:04:32.586
But for me another why, but also kind of parlaying into what we're going to talk about I feel like I want to help DJs.

00:04:32.586 --> 00:04:33.947
I mean gosh, what I feel like I want to help DJs.

00:04:33.947 --> 00:04:41.574
I mean gosh, what a great opportunity to record content that hopefully is somewhat evergreen, that can stand the test of time, right.

00:04:42.074 --> 00:04:47.180
Yeah, I think that that's, you know, been my mission for the last 15 years.

00:04:47.180 --> 00:05:01.297
I mean, I've spoken at countless conferences, I've written for all the magazines, the newspapers, you know, done the podcasting, uh, done the DJ's vault, like that has really been.

00:05:01.297 --> 00:05:18.774
And I'm still playing shows as well, all in the mean, all in the meanwhile, still playing shows and I think that gives me credibility with the listeners or the watchers of the video is like oh wait, he's actually still out there doing it, instead of just talking about something I did 10 or 15 years ago.

00:05:19.035 --> 00:05:29.869
You know what I mean, and that's again another reason for this to come back to the platform, to come back to podcasting, and I feel like this time I really want to.

00:05:29.869 --> 00:05:33.199
I love that Matthew McConaughey speech where he's like don't half-ass it.

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:34.817
Yeah, I love that Matthew McConaughey speech where he's like don't half-ass it.

00:05:34.817 --> 00:05:44.004
I felt like that from last week when I started ordering this stuff, started putting up this wood wall, I was like, if we're going to do this, let's do it the right way.

00:05:44.165 --> 00:05:45.310
Let's have the best audio.

00:05:45.805 --> 00:05:46.911
Let's shoot it on video.

00:05:46.911 --> 00:05:48.651
Three cameras here shooting this.

00:05:48.651 --> 00:05:50.430
Let's chop it up into reels.

00:05:50.430 --> 00:05:58.512
Let's get some people to sponsor it, let's let's just do it bigger, better than either of us have ever done it.

00:05:58.512 --> 00:06:05.093
You know what I mean If I'm going to come back to it like let's just not half-ass it, and so let's talk about a little bit about the format.

00:06:05.093 --> 00:06:18.807
So I think one of the main things that you and I both agreed that was going to make this doable and not, you know, eat up a bunch of time, was to take questions from the listeners right yeah, and so we've already teased that out.

00:06:18.928 --> 00:06:27.401
Really, uh, on a google form that we put out a few days ago already have tons of great questions coming in before we've even dropped this trailer episode.

00:06:27.401 --> 00:06:29.608
Uh, what else are we going to talk about?

00:06:29.608 --> 00:06:29.908
I?

00:06:29.927 --> 00:06:31.471
mean music has to be.

00:06:31.471 --> 00:06:36.560
For me that's like got to be in there and I feel like man again.

00:06:36.581 --> 00:06:42.848
that was one of the reasons, like because I had this idea of coming back to the podcast, I had idea of doing it solo and I was like man again.

00:06:42.848 --> 00:06:44.173
I can't carry this thing alone.

00:06:44.173 --> 00:06:48.026
I don't think I'm a very good rambler like who else could I bring in?

00:06:48.026 --> 00:07:17.072
And I feel like you are so good at time management, with your day and setting aside time and going bro, I've got to spend an hour today like digging through these record pools or whatever, and so on that part of this podcast, I think I'm going to have to rely on you because you are so good at just pulling just absolutely random bangers, whether they're edits or mashups or an actual just track from like hey man, have you ever heard this band?

00:07:17.072 --> 00:07:25.576
And I think I think you're really good at that and I'm almost better at these are the songs I ride around and listen to.

00:07:25.718 --> 00:07:25.918
Yeah.

00:07:26.245 --> 00:07:37.615
These are not going to be songs that I'm going to play at a gig, you know, whether it's a fashion thing or wedding or whatever, I think I'm really good at just finding these bands like I'm in love with.

00:07:37.615 --> 00:07:40.170
Let me show you this yeah, you know what I mean.

00:07:40.170 --> 00:07:42.137
So that OK, and what else?

00:07:49.845 --> 00:07:50.685
What else are we going to talk about?

00:07:50.685 --> 00:07:53.791
I feel like one of the things that is masked or hidden from the general public for fear of embarrassment or just who knows.

00:07:53.791 --> 00:08:11.353
Yeah, but like gig stories, like the war stories from the weekend, yes, things that just come up and you know, I I don't I'm not putting like a halo on me or whatever, but like there are times when people feel like that couldn't have happened to you, couldn't happen to joe bunn, like this is like he's too good at, like these things wouldn't happen.

00:08:11.353 --> 00:08:13.646
And things happen all the time, absolutely right?

00:08:14.047 --> 00:08:14.468
I think it's.

00:08:14.468 --> 00:08:18.716
It just shows your, your human nature, your vulnerability.

00:08:18.716 --> 00:08:23.309
I'm I'm completely aware that I don't play perfect shows every time.

00:08:23.309 --> 00:08:27.533
I think you know you're the same, you're willing to admit when something goes right.

00:08:27.533 --> 00:08:34.561
But in adjacent or in addition to the gig stories or the war stories, I think we tell the beauty of it too.

00:08:34.561 --> 00:08:44.231
You know, like man, let me tell you about this father-daughter dance this past weekend, or whatever, like I feel like you have to highlight the good stuff when you tell the bad stories as well.

00:08:44.231 --> 00:08:44.875
You know what I mean.

00:08:44.975 --> 00:08:59.847
And just when you think you've seen it all been through it all like there's always something new that pops up, and I think also that experience of years in this business gives you an idea of, like, how we're thinking about when we run into these things, how we would address it.

00:08:59.847 --> 00:09:05.591
So it saves people that time of having to learn it on their own and and trying to figure it out.

00:09:05.591 --> 00:09:08.563
Hopefully we can help inspire in that direction Right A hundred percent.

00:09:08.604 --> 00:09:10.912
I mean that was a whole reason for creating the DJ's vault.

00:09:10.912 --> 00:09:16.331
I mean I was like I want you to do all the things right that I did and then everything I did wrong.

00:09:16.331 --> 00:09:18.111
I'm going to tell you what I did wrong.

00:09:18.111 --> 00:09:27.111
Please don't do these things because they cost me money or, you know, ran me broke or ran me crazy or whatever they were.

00:09:27.111 --> 00:09:32.288
And that was the whole really basis of those original djs vault ads like, let me, I've already made the mistakes.

00:09:32.288 --> 00:09:37.212
I'm gonna tell you how not to make them like you don't want to do it like this, here's the way you want to do it.

00:09:37.212 --> 00:09:38.759
And that was the whole basis of that.

00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:42.414
So any final words here before we wrap the uh, the.

00:09:43.177 --> 00:09:44.302
It's going to be a good ride.

00:09:44.302 --> 00:09:44.884
We did a trailer.

00:09:45.004 --> 00:09:46.070
I think it's going to be fun, man.

00:09:46.070 --> 00:09:47.532
This is our first conversation.

00:09:47.532 --> 00:09:51.196
We spent the last hour and a half kind of repositioning the mics.

00:09:51.196 --> 00:09:53.273
We couldn't even really see each other's faces.

00:09:53.273 --> 00:09:54.889
You know, we're redoing the lights.

00:09:54.889 --> 00:09:56.346
We got my guy Saquon, here.

00:09:56.346 --> 00:10:02.087
He's on the board, so we're going to have, you know, just a really good podcast studio, really good environment.

00:10:02.087 --> 00:10:09.812
We might have Saquon be the look-it-up guy, like if somebody calls out bullshit on something, I'm like Saquon, look it up.

00:10:09.812 --> 00:10:11.072
We might have him doing that.

00:10:11.072 --> 00:10:12.633
We got a monitor up there.

00:10:12.633 --> 00:10:14.033
We got a monitor back here.

00:10:14.033 --> 00:10:16.615
So, trailers in the bag, man.

00:10:16.615 --> 00:10:19.015
Now it's up to you guys to tune in and listen.

00:10:19.015 --> 00:10:22.657
We will be dropping the very first episode very, very, very, very soon.

00:10:22.657 --> 00:10:28.759
So stay tuned to whatever podcast platforms that you listen to.

00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:35.182
It's also going to be the full length right on my YouTube channel and anything else to add.

00:10:35.182 --> 00:10:37.344
Man, nah, man, let's get it.

00:10:37.344 --> 00:10:38.783
Let's put a bow on this one man.

00:10:38.783 --> 00:10:40.825
Thanks for watching everybody and thanks for listening.

00:10:40.825 --> 00:10:42.365
We'll see you back on episode one.

00:10:42.365 --> 00:10:43.066
It's a wrap.
