what's up everybody. Welcome back to beyond the DJ Booth Podcast. I'm Brian B and Joe Bunn.
Speaker 2:Batch Day. It's Batch Day. It's Batch Day. Everybody loves Batch.
Speaker 1:Day, and we say that because if there's anything current that happens there's been a lot that's happened which we're going to talk about during these batch recordings. That are not current events Now, they're in the past. So if anything new comes out, we probably aren't going to be able during these batched recordings. That are not current events now, they're in the past. So if anything new comes out, we probably aren't going to be able to comment on it.
Speaker 2:We really don't comment on pop culture that's true politics, anything, current events anyway, I guess it would have to be like major celebrities dying, which we did have. That run of three people, geez craziness. Ozzy, malcolm, jamal warner, and then, oh, the Hulkster.
Speaker 1:Oh the Hulkster. Yeah, that's right it happens in three Crazy how that happens, you think, me.
Speaker 2:You and Saquon die within a few days of each other. I don't even want to think about it.
Speaker 1:It's too dark for me, too dark, all right, so our unofficial producer of the podcast. Richie Stedman gave us our opener for today's episode, so let me present you with this, would you rather?
Speaker 4:Okay, give us another one of those scenarios Would you rather, is tough.
Speaker 1:So here's scenario A Would you rather a gatekeeping wedding planner? First time you talk to the bride and groom is when you arrive the day of, or having to plan with the bride and groom and the bride's mom.
Speaker 2:and groom's mom don't agree, oh easy Gatekeeper, gatekeeping planner on this one. Why? Because I still know that, no matter if I got the timeline on the day of and I meet the couple and shake their hand the first time the day of, I can still pull off a great event. If I'm having to be some sort of a mediator, I guess, between these two moms that are, you know, bickering about the timeline, or you know how long the first dance should be, or the parent dances should be, or if they're doing a cake cutting or not doing a cake cutting. I just don't want to deal with that bullshit. I'm the same and neither of them know what they're doing. At least a wedding planner will always know. Even a pseudo professional only done a few weddings, knows what a timeline should look like.
Speaker 1:Same answer Same answer. I'd say different reasons. One earlier in my career I probably would have fought against that planner and been like my way is this way, just being young and stupid. But I think now I feel like I can win them over, even if they're wanting to run the whole show, be the point person. Whatever, I think I can overcome it Now. Would I work with them again? Probably not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know you're like I think I'm going to move on to another planning service or whatever. Or be at least aware that that's what's going to happen, because that's probably not a one-time thing.
Speaker 2:It's probably something that they've done that they do yeah, that they think is right.
Speaker 1:But the mom situation oh, I've had that happen. Have you ever had that happen where you've had to be the intermediary?
Speaker 2:Not in that particular scenario, but I've definitely had to been in between people before, and I mean it just happened to us, you know, maybe two, three months ago, at a wedding where you know toast were over and this kind of I think I spoke about it on this you know, kind of drunk mom yeah, yeah came up and was like give me the mic, it's my turn now and I'm like looking at the schedule and then, like luckily, her daughter or the bride and maybe the planner came and kind of pulled her away and was like
Speaker 1:no, no, no, mom, you're not doing that tonight like I had one where it wasn't the two moms going against each other, it was the bride and her mom. Oh, which is always tricky. I've definitely been there. That's tough. There was an ethnic wedding and I remember the bride wanted a little bit more current American music. The bride's mom wanted all the ethnic music and we talked about it during the call.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Bride's wanted all the ethnic music and we talked about it during the call. Yeah, yeah, bride's like listen, my mom might come up, but just stick to the plan. Right? But it's still tough, you know. She comes up, asks for a song, I insert it, but then she wants 10 more yeah, right, right and so I said hey, listen, your daughter really wanted a well-rounded mix.
Speaker 1:I'll fit those other ones in. I'm gonna do my best, but I can't do them all in one big set, right. And so she literally goes to her seat and is just mean mugging me the entire time, and it's just like a deflator.
Speaker 2:You know like it kills your vibe. It makes you second guess every song you're playing, right. And then I think the worst is when I've been in that scenario, they pulled the don't forget who's paying card. I've been in that scenario. They pulled the don't forget who's paying card. That is just the nastiest card you can pull. I'm still going to err on the side of the bride. At the end of the day, it's still the bride's wedding. I've already been paid to be completely fair with you.
Speaker 2:Maybe my tip suffers, maybe my review suffers, but I'm going for the bride. It's her freaking wedding.
Speaker 1:Actually now I don't really bring that particular scenario up, but I do ask on the call I'm like, hey, oh yeah, are there any gatekeepers? In your family that may come up, may request something. How do you want me to handle it so that that way we've had the discussion so that like the night of I'm not trying to like deal with it for the very first time we've got at least a somewhat of a plan going into it? Yeah, but I gotta be honest, I don't really deal with that much anymore.
Speaker 2:Me neither man.
Speaker 1:I can't remember the last time that's happened Again.
Speaker 2:As you increase your price, you phase yourself out of a lot of drama Family drama, class of people, bad venues, bad, you know everything. As your price goes up, you deal with very few of these broadzilla type thing.
Speaker 1:I would agree.
Speaker 2:Let's move into the gear corner, gear corner, the gear's here the gear is here, is here.
Speaker 1:So good, shout out to saquon on that one so quick question uh, have you heard about the new apple update that's coming in the fall? I don't think so, okay so one of them is the airp. There's a mode on there where, if you are in another country, we may have talked about this on this pod before or maybe just off the record but, literally in your ear. It can translate.
Speaker 2:If somebody's talking to you, yeah, and you can hear what's happening.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I saw some people debating about it, how it could be good and bad. I mean, obviously, if you're in a different country, it's amazing.
Speaker 1:you know, at the nail salon it's gonna be bad right right, right right right, right, because you know those women be talking about my feet like this nasty white boy yeah, but then they were also saying how, like, culturally a great thing again if you're in a different country, but a bad thing because why do you need to learn a new language now? It's all translated in your ear. It's kind of like the ai thing. It's kind of dumbing you down in a sense. Unless you really want to be a purist and learn the language, why do you need to?
Speaker 2:it's all going to be translated for you yeah, but I mean, how do you talk back?
Speaker 1:well, that leads to the gear corner not my feet are not nasty yeah, that leads us to today's gear corner okay segment, all right. So I saw this on amazon and I had to try it. So they've come out with some translating earbuds. Okay, already, okay, but it can also be used for music and all the other things sure so I had to test it. I actually went to my chinese acupressure spot, the other day foot massage, foot massage, okay, and put these bad boys on listen, wait, hold on.
Speaker 2:Did you tell them you were? No, of course not, and they're just speaking to each other, yeah, while they're working on your feet. Oh, totally okay, this works no freaking way there's an app to it as well what were they?
Speaker 1:saying so. The problem was this place is kind of noisy. No, it's not that's the problem so picking up some of the when they're really like the, the nail salon, the main nail salon like you would go to normally they're talking loud.
Speaker 1:But in this one it's more of a quiet environment. So it was kind of picking up some of this stuff, like I could hear them talking about somebody else Going this guy's angry, or whatever the case may be. Anyway, I wanted to show you how this works. I actually have google translated a couple of sentences in chinese which we're gonna play. Okay, I'm gonna have you put these on, okay, and I'm gonna show you.
Speaker 2:You're gonna play the the audio in chinese.
Speaker 1:Yes, okay and you're gonna be able to hear what they're saying.
Speaker 2:I don't think chinese is a language you don't. I mean, I thought they had like a bunch of different mandarin. Well, they have a bunch of different dialects, okay, but it's technically that, so let me show you, how this works actually. I mean, I know it's a Do you want to make sure? Forgive my ignorance.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying? Yeah, put it on Bluetooth. I do like this because it does wrap around the ear. Hey, I've got them on.
Speaker 3:There's no way this works. Why don't Joe knows what this person's saying?
Speaker 1:Any idea what they're saying? No, okay, so you're going to use this app called Say Me and it's going to be on headphone and phone mode. You're going to click that button, okay, when you hit it, then have Saquon hit play.
Speaker 2:Okay, go ahead. This guy's toes are so dirty I don't want to touch his bunions.
Speaker 1:And it tells you when you're here, right, you're not even having to read it, so does it sound like an American Just like a computerized voice.
Speaker 4:Oh, okay, like Microsoft.
Speaker 1:So go with number two when Joe's ready.
Speaker 3:All right.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, this guy looks exactly like the guy in the made ham commercials. Do I want his autograph? It says made ham instead of mayhem.
Speaker 3:Okay, we got one more. Your only podcast you should listen to is Beyond the DJ Booth. These guys look handsome, smart and the best DJs.
Speaker 2:This one kind of messed up. The only podcast you should listen to is Spin and DJ Boss. These guys are handsome, smart and the best DJs.
Speaker 1:Isn't that crazy though, dude, that's nuts. So if you click on the Chinese one, there's like a million languages at the top. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I mean it could be wherever you want.
Speaker 4:That's unbelievable dude, isn't that insane? And is there like a delay in between it talking? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:There's maybe one second Okay delay in between it talking. Yeah, yeah, there's maybe one second okay. And then she basically it types it out on the screen if you're using the app and then a couple seconds later it says it in your ear. Okay, with like a computerized voice in english wow, so price.
Speaker 1:What do you think it's on amazon?
Speaker 2:okay, 69 bro, way less 29, 26.99 on amazon, and like they sound good right yeah, I mean, you can just use them for they're almost over your ear because it looks like the outside of it is the mic that's listening to the people and the inside is what's playing it back in your ear. So they don't even really go inside your ear hole, right?
Speaker 1:but they sound fine can you imagine what this is going to be like once you get you?
Speaker 4:know, yeah, people are going to get lazy dude, it is very dialed. It's pretty cool yeah no, it's dialed in like a whole classroom full of kids with these things, you know. I mean like maybe it could help teach them easier maybe.
Speaker 2:How did you get the chinese voice to say those things?
Speaker 1:google translate oh, I got you okay those meta ai glasses do it too.
Speaker 2:Really, yeah, they have a translate feature. I've never tried it and now I've ended up giving them away to colin. But yeah, or he stole them from me when?
Speaker 1:well, if you want to wait until october, they'll be in the airpods, uh coming then crazy, I gotta get a new set anyway.
Speaker 2:I'm overdue. Dj's real talk. Are you tired of trying to figure out the DJ business alone, struggling with pricing, bookings or just how to stand out?

And, the best part, you can try it free for a week. Just go to wwwthedjsvaultcom. Slash free week and start leveling up your DJ business today. All right, what else so?
Speaker 1:I had an event this past week out in the mountains of Asheville, Right I remember?
Speaker 2:yeah, this was at the omni grove and then parlayed it into a family uh mountain trip, it was great nice dude, I did tubing for the first time you ever done that?
Speaker 1:of course I've never done that. I think I'm turning into a lake guy like a mountain guy I'm like what is happening. I hate nature.
Speaker 2:I'm usually like that fantasy lake place. Here the jumpy house is on the water.
Speaker 1:It's crazy but the gig. I wanted to talk to you about the gig okay so I won't burn them here, but let's just say that this company has a lot of revenue. They do about 17 billion dollars in revenue.
Speaker 2:Okay, so they call me up and I thought they call you direct or they came through an agent, came through an email. Somebody emailed directly, directly, and that's why I thought it was fake I was like that doesn't really that doesn't really happen.
Speaker 1:Yeah, not with this kind of a company. So is this just like some rando? No, this was a legit.
Speaker 1:I had her set up a zoom she set it up and come to find out, and I say this because I think this is a learning tip for folks. This was somebody who worked for the company and they had seen me. They were a guest at a wedding I had done. They were looking for a DJ. They didn't have a huge budget, which is crazy considering they do 17 billion in revenue. Right, they have 65 offices around the world and this specific office is based in Atlanta and they were having a celebratory retreat, or yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Because they had one amongst all the employees, which is like a crazy amount. I didn't have all the number in front of me, but they vote amongst which office is the best to work with, and this is the office. So they signed. Everything was good. How many people?
Speaker 1:About 400, I would say the first little uh-oh was when they called me and they're like hey, I sent them my writer. I didn't have to provide anything, I just was going to show up and they called me and said hey, we can't find DJ furniture of any sort. We all we have is a six foot table. I'm like, nah, it's not going to work. You know, not on a stage, no florals, nothing. So I said I'll bring it, but I'm going to charge you for it. And they were fine with it. So I ended up having to pack up the vehicle and put it in there.
Speaker 1:Get there they were. Yeah. So I show up and I get in the room and I notice that they have a disco ball light at the at the middle of the room, above the dance floor, and it's just on I'm thinking okay, they're just a disco ball or a legit disco ball with the light pointed at it.
Speaker 2:Oh jesus christ and it's going on the entire time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I'm like, oh, that's kind of weird, maybe they're just testing it. No, it was on the entire night, like like the whole celebration, including like speeches, all the different things.
Speaker 2:Was it themed like 70s disco party?
Speaker 1:No, not at all. So it was just a random Apparently. They threw it in the venue, did?
Speaker 2:The speakers. What a bonus.
Speaker 1:The speakers and again, I didn't check this stuff. And again a learning lesson for folks, because they're a legit company.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right right. I'm thinking they do these events all over the place. Yeah, it wasn't like Bob's Timbershack or something.
Speaker 1:And she told me on the planning call hey, this budget's been cut a lot. The other thing I learned, too, was, like they have in-house people, you should probably double check the work, Because they're not doing this at a high level probably.
Speaker 2:Because they're just doing it for their company.
Speaker 1:Oh, venue, no in-house event planners that do events for that company. Okay, so I go. The speakers were on the stage pointed up. They weren't even on stands, so they were just kind of pointed up subs right next to them and this room went way back. So we're talking like absolutely terrible acoustics in the room and 400 people, 400 people. And then they have up lights around the room. No stage lighting, no tubes, nothing, movers, nothing.
Speaker 1:And I'm like this just got a whole lot more difficult. And on top of that, their budget was so tight that they said we could only hire you for the dancing portion. We're not gonna. I was gonna throw in the dinner and all that. But I'm like why, why do it? I'll make you a playlist. So I made them playlists for the cocktail hour and the dinner and all that. But I'm like, why, why do it? I'll make you a playlist. So I made them playlists for the cocktail hour and the dinner that was themed for what they wanted. It was so low that no one could hear anything. So, literally, when they tossed it to me, the guy's giving away awards and he's like okay, dj, let's party Right. And I'm just like this completely threw off my vibe Cause I'm thinking it's going to be a normal transition. No-transcript, like literally everybody's sick for like 20 people and I'm like what just happened? Like, and I didn't notice it all the bars are out there, god bless, the dumbest shit I've ever heard, and so I'm like, and I finally figured out.
Speaker 1:I'm like, oh, the bars are out there, that's why they're hanging, and they have speakers out there, so there's no reason to come back in, there's no ambience, playing your stuff, playing my stuff. So then the planner gets this wild hair idea of like hey, I'm gonna blast them out in there to push them back inside. So she has the sound guy, like, and I don't know any of this right until I like find out later after the fact. So for three hours I'm like struggling with like 30 people out of the 400, no, and then finally, the last 45 minutes of the show, every like I wouldn't say everybody, but a good half of them came back. I think the other people went downstairs because it was so loud out there, apparently, and so they came back in. The last 45 minutes was actually a good party, but like still just completely like you leave one of those and you go.
Speaker 1:It was a good paycheck, yeah, but I just hated the gig, you know what I mean and I just go. This company does 17 billion. How can you not afford to like throw some at this party for your people?
Speaker 2:a dj booth, good speakers, good lights, like no. Or just tell you to handle it and you add it to your bill, like you normally do I told the lady.
Speaker 1:I said hey, I'd love to debrief with you after it. I hope you're okay with it. Which is you did amazing? She goes. It wasn't you. She goes. I know it was like a lot of other things. She goes. What pisses me off is I just spent 30,000 dollars with this av company to do it right and they completely screwed me. I'm like I would have done it for 30k 30k I would have.
Speaker 2:I would have brought every.
Speaker 1:I would have driven the van in the room right I'm like and she's like yeah, they threw in that disco ball. I'm like it and she's like yeah, they threw in that disco ball. I'm like it was on the entire night. Threw it in for free. I go. I'll throw it in for free. Those shits are on Amazon for $19.99.
Speaker 2:Can you believe that? Yeah, I can, because these people are so clueless sometimes it's insane. But I mean I've also worked with event planners at these big companies like that, billion-dollar companies, fortune 500 companies. That that's all they do. It's their full-time job and they are dialed in okay timeline, run of show. I mean I've done a million of those events where I walk in and half the time I look at saquon and go we undercharged because it's just so high level, right line array video walls. You know seth godin speaking at lunch like and I'm like dude, we just blew this shit like we didn't get enough data here yeah that's when you, the way you do, your kind of line item quoting will always trump whatever we do.
Speaker 2:And I've told Randy, like, slow down on this corporate shit man, ask more questions, don't give them some, you know, link to a package. If there's 400, 500,000 people like who's doing the sound? Who's speaking at this thing, do we need to do the voice of god? When are we playing? How long are we playing like? How long are we sitting around?
Speaker 1:like. So I asked him. I said, hey, so where's my green room? And they're like, uh, go in the door that says mother's room. And I'm like, seriously, so I go in there. I'm like, is there gonna be people like breastfeeding in there or what's happening? That's what it sounds like. No, it was just a hot ass room with no ac. They gave me like the just the b room, you know. I'm like, am I even on the roster here? Like what's happening?
Speaker 1:I'm like if they would have brought in, like earth, wind and fire, and or any of those people I just kept thinking that like they could have brought in somebody of that caliber they have that kind of money yeah and what would they have thought when they saw all this? You know what I mean so dude anyway not good I don't have another event until august 30th, so I am now we're off for a month as well.
Speaker 2:We did july 25th, jaylen chapfield's wedding. Hockey player plays for the hurricanes. Did you do the rocky?
Speaker 1:like a hurricane I didn't.
Speaker 2:I was watching that clip today. I never even even brought it out.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I was serious I don't know.
Speaker 2:I couldn't tell how many of the players were there. I saw the coach Right. I saw the captain. I don't know those guys from Adam Right, I'll be honest with you, it was fine, it was good.
Speaker 1:I just hate having a stinker for another month.
Speaker 2:No, no, I just hate that that would affect me for the next 30 days. And then we did two Friday weddings back to back, which is super rare. That place right down the street Melrose Knitting Mill and no elevator in Saquon was not there, but I did take one of my DJs and we caught it on an 85-degree day instead of a 105-degree day, so it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, and that was fun too. I had content creators come out both days, so I got good content.
Speaker 2:But I'm off for basically a month, but I've got one to the beach a few days this week, straight back on the airplane to DJX in Atlantic City. Straight back from that. I mean you were going to Dallas to the podcast convention. Like it's going to be a busy month, even though I'm not playing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hey, brian B here. Sorry to interrupt your regularly scheduled podcast, but let's be real. You're here because you actually care about your DJ business and if you've been nodding along like, yeah, I should totally step up my game, then let me make it easy for you. I've got a coaching platform, the DJ's creative edge, where I help DJs like you stand out, raise their prices without feeling guilty and actually get paid what they're worth. We're talking one-on-one coaching, a killer course option to help you define your uniqueness, and a group coaching option with other DJs who actually get it. The website, thedjscreativeedgecom. That's TheDJsCreativeEdgecom Because you know repetition works. And if you want to just lurk, for now, hit up Instagram at thedjscreativeedge.
Speaker 1:All right, back to the show. Before Joe starts yelling in his extra thick North Carolina accent about how back in his day, djs used CDs and still had to walk uphill both ways to a gig. We got a question. We do Our boy, albert Lau from Pensacola he's submitted a few he asks are you guys going to stay away from Coldplay tracks at weddings now? I avoided them over the weekend because now that that band's songs are tied to something that went so viral for the wrong reason, did you see that clip yeah, of course. How insane that that just blew up the way it did right.
Speaker 2:I mean now the dude's trying to sue Coldplay and stuff Is he really?
Speaker 4:Yeah, he's trying to double down. That's what he's trying.
Speaker 2:Invasion of privacy. This, that and the other. I'm like man, you just got to take the L on this. Pal Lost his job, she lost her job.
Speaker 1:But no, lost her job, but no, I don't give a shit, I mean coldplay didn't have anything to do with it.
Speaker 2:I played uh scoffle of stars the other night. It was on the must play list.
Speaker 1:Hey, I don't get a lot of coldplay. I don't either, but I don't think this would affect me. But I mean I could get around the event, unless it was on the must I know, but what if?
Speaker 2:would you play dinner? Do you ever play during dinner or not? Really okay, yeah, you don't like coldplay.
Speaker 1:I I love coldplay I do too. But I just don't tend to play them. I turn up weddings.
Speaker 2:I definitely play this Saturday, do you have?
Speaker 1:any that are currently on the banned list for yourself, like Diddy.

Speaker 4:I feel like you might have dropped the R Kelly.
Speaker 2:Did I? I feel like you did, but I feel like you kind of slid it in there. I used to arbitrarily play it you know which one.
Speaker 1:I just played at this gig actually, Because I kind of wanted to go in an R&B vibe for a hot minute. Yeah, I played. I'm a Flirt Damn that's a great song.

Speaker 1:Well, this group was from Atlanta. So what did I want? To play Jermaine Dupri's Welcome to Atlanta. Yeah, but it's got the Diddyverse. It does have Diddy. So I had to go and edit it myself because I don't have that Diggs edit. So I only played like a short snippet of it. But I had to take that out because I was like I don't want to cause any problems.
