Uh so before we get all the way into it, can you explain real quick, like, about your sets, what you do on YouTube, your window, and everything.
SPEAKER_01I feel like we're in the era of like the internet DJ right now. It's like the time where um, you know, you had the the Spotify's and the Apple music and the playlist where everybody was consuming new music, where I feel like we're in this bubble of like everybody's like listening and consuming music through YouTube DJs. Um and so brands of the operation over here, he was like, bro, you need to do these YouTube sets.
SPEAKER_00Like Oh, he was like, It's your idea.
SPEAKER_01He was like, Yeah, he was like, yo, you need to like he was sending me videos of like just examples of other people doing it. And it's funny because it's like when he sent it to me, there was a lot of people doing it, but it like even in this time, like we started what, like a year and a half ago? Like, it was like the first one was November of 2024. From then to now, it has been so many more like platforms that have become like legit platforms too. Sure. Um, but yeah, I just feel like we in the era of like that's how people are consuming music, right? It's just put it on their TV, put it on their computer, put it on their phone, on their tablet, whatever. So yeah, it was just like started with that, put the first one out in November, second one got deleted, as quiet as it kept. Nobody know that.
unknownWhy?
SPEAKER_01Now you know that.
SPEAKER_00Not technical difficulties.
SPEAKER_01This is the type of shit that happened that nobody fucking knows. This is my life. This is my life. You know what I'm saying? This is my life. People think it's a fucking view. It's my life. Excuse me. Um, yeah, nah, we, you know, shout out my boy Rasheed. He's shot like most of them. He I started doing the windows with him. He shoots so much of my stuff. But um, great shooter in Jersey if you need it, Al Kwan. Um, but we shot two. The second one got deleted because he thought he gave me the files. Oh, and so he he like he's like, he's very organized with his files, so he don't like keeping extra files that he don't need. So he deleted it off his drops completely. And I was like, yo, remember to upload that. He's like, yeah, I got you. He's like, wait, I didn't give it to you. I was like, nah. That's completely gone. And so it was gone. And so, yeah. So that was that was your intro to creative. So yeah, so we shot the first one. The first one was fine, it's up now. You can watch it, but the second one got deleted, so then we didn't shoot another one till like five months later in April, and that became my most viral one. And then you just kept going with it, and then from there, yeah. How often do you do it? Like minimum once a month, kind of now. Okay, but um, yeah, we trying to we're trying to ramp up for sure.
SPEAKER_00So every time you do it, do you have a crowd with you? Or you ever do it solo?
SPEAKER_01No, I I they're traditionally done solo, okay, but then we do sp special like ones where it's like with people at dinner party, like my homie Connor Kane, he's a pro chef. He actually is on the Gordon Ramsay show. Next level chef is out right now. You can watch it. Um, little plug, a little plug. Um, but yeah, that's my homie. Like, we do so much content together as well. But we've done two, and so that was the one you saw with with Brit in there. That was the first one for Friendsgiving. Um, that was great, and then we did another one in New York. Um, yeah, with a with a couple homies, and that was dope as well. So, like yeah, trying to have more with people in it for sure.
SPEAKER_00But like I've been seeing a lot of that. Um, I'm sure you know playground. Like, I think they were just down south. Um, I haven't been to one physically, but I I definitely want to because it's like you're in a lounge or a club or whatever, but you know, you're the DJ's playing the set, everybody in the background having a good time. So that's my type of vibe. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm like, I'm coming through. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, nah, for sure. So many apartment life, you know? Yeah, yeah. Um, where it's like more staged, it's not as much of an event as far as like playgrounds. Some of those be like feeling more like events.
SPEAKER_00Some of those are ticketed, right?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like I know noise complaints for sure. They're they're like for sure, like doing ticketed events and like you trying to get to that point on event. Absolutely, absolutely. We wanna go as far as we could go. Yeah, you might as well.
SPEAKER_00Absolutely. You got the brains behind you over here. We're gonna make an app for sure. Absolutely, sure. I like it. So, how did you get into the management side of it?
SPEAKER_02Um, with with him or just like in general?
SPEAKER_00Uh starting in general then both.
SPEAKER_02So in general, um, it was what like COVID? COVID 2020. Um, I just got like let go from my job. I was living in South Florida at the time, uh, went back home to Jersey. And um, we got a homeboy, uh, Drock. Shout out to Drock.
SPEAKER_04Shout out to Drock.
SPEAKER_02Uh we were we were talking about um, you know, just like stuff he had going on with music. And it's just like we were talking and he was like, bro, I just got like so much like administrative stuff I have to do. And I was like, yo, you don't have like a manager? And he was like, nah, I was like, shit, I'll do it. Oh, like yeah, I needed something, you know. Like, so we started working together. I ended up getting my job back crazy enough, went back to Florida, and like I spent all my time working, like trying to learn about music business. So I was just like, yo, I'm gonna just jump off the porch and just try to make it happen. Um ended up moving out here in like 2022. Shout out to Vance and Kev.
SPEAKER_00My boys definitely like So did y'all know each other before you moved out here? Yeah, we went to high school together. Oh, okay, okay. All right, so that made it easy.
SPEAKER_01Like everybody has just been mentioned, we've known each other for like since we were kids.
SPEAKER_00I thought you came out here and connected. Nah, nah, nah, nah.
SPEAKER_02But um, but yeah, so moved out here, ended up getting a job as little TJ's personal assistant first. Oh wow. And then from there, I went to just a regular. Morgue the guy. And then we um I I met with I met Neil Dominique who runs just a regular day. He was manages Bryson Taylor, Ryan Trey, a bunch of other artists, and I was his personal assistant. And then that's where like I feel like I really like honed in on kind of what the music industry was, like learning you know, ups and downs, twists, turns, whatever it may be. Mind you, I'm still like on the side, like trying to work with Drog. He hadn't come into the fold yet. Um he was still doing his own thing. And from there went back to another company in New York. And then I think I got how I managed another artist named Cousin Stiz, and one day we were talking, and he was just like, yo, Morg, like, I think I'm gonna I'm gonna start DJing. I was like, alright, cool. Like, he was like, yo, so if you ever like Stiz ever doing anything, you need anything, like, holler at me. I was like, cool, say no more. So like maybe a a month or two goes by, Stiz ends up dropping a project, and we're doing a release party. So I was like, yo, God will sound now, go get it. God will sound now.
SPEAKER_01We're doing all the plugins.
SPEAKER_02So um we hired, we had like a small budget, so but we needed someone to cover like the first, what was it, like probably like the first hour and a half. Yeah. The first hour and a half, and then the first hour. The first hour. It was just the first hour. It was a four, mind you, this is a four-hour event. So just the first hour. It was like, yo, like I don't have a budget, bro. Like, if you just want to come do it off the love, he was like, Bet. Boom, he's doing his thing, he's chilling. There's another DJ who uh shall not be named. He uh he he ended up not showing out to the gig. So thank you for that. If you're looking and you're watching, we appreciate you.
SPEAKER_00I don't know who you are, but we appreciate you, bro.
SPEAKER_02Shout out to you, but he didn't show up. Um and I walked up to him, I was like, yo, like you're doing your thing, bro. You you're going crazy. Uh, but the bad news is uh I'm gonna need you to keep DJing the rest of the night. And he was like, Word? I was like, Yeah, I'll like I'll give you the money that we were gonna get, bro. He did the full three hours, and bro, he was like, say no more, and just locked in. And like midway through the set, Stiz is like, yo, what the fuck? He was like, Yo, more, who is this, bro? I was like, This is my boy Josh. We grew up together. He was like, bro, he's nice. Like he said he gets it, like he just gets it. Mind you, this is like the first like outside gig he's done in front of like any of our homies. So fast forward maybe like another month or so. We kind of like, it's nothing really crazy. My co-manager, one of my boys, Tim, who I manage S with, calls me and he was like, yo, um, they're best friends with Carl Anthony Towns on the Knicks. And he was like, Yo, Kat just called me and said that they need a DJ for Jordan's birthday party. And he was like, Yo, you think Josh wanna do it? I said, Yes. Is that when you went to New York? No, no, no. This was out here.
SPEAKER_01So he wasn't playing for the Knicks at the time. He was still in Minnesota. He was still in Minnesota. This is before the trade. And um, yeah, he was in LA.
SPEAKER_02So we were like, I was like, I was like, yeah. Didn't even talk to him. I called him, I was like, look, bro, this is the play, you doing this shit.
SPEAKER_00You don't got a choice.
SPEAKER_02You're like, you gotta do it, bro. So we're like, all right, cool. We go up there, whatever, have a good ass time, he kill it. They were like, yo, we about to do an after party. You want to come do the after party too? Boom, did the after party. And then the next day I called him in the morning, I was like, yo, like, I think, I think you should take this serious, bro. I think we could do something of it with it. And he was just like, Bet, like, what's up? I was like, yo, like, I don't know much about the DJ shit, but like I'd I would love to learn, bro. I'm quick on my feet, and like we can we can figure it out. And we went crazy after that.
SPEAKER_00So when this happened, how far into like the YouTube journey were you? This was how it started. How'd it even start it?
SPEAKER_01Oh wow, like the car Anthony Towns gig he's referencing is like that's like that was my first paid gig. That was like that was that was like end of 2024. Um because yeah, Stiz dropped the album in August, and then that the release party was in August, and that was like my first time DJing in front of all of my friends at and like really DJing in front of a lot of people like that, but and then September was the next month, and then that was Jordan was birthday party at fucking uh Soho Malibu. Soho Malibu. And it was like that was like practically an eight hour set. And like that was like that led, I think that gave both of us the confidence because it was just like, well, you could do shit. Do eight hours I could do anything, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I mean? Like, what's a two-hour set after eight hours? You know what I'm saying? So that I think that was like, because I feel like that was probably the most nervous I ever was, because it was like one, it was like pay gig, didn't even know what to charge, didn't know like no, you know what I mean? Like, I won't say I didn't know what to play, but uh definitely just was like, I need to download more music and all of these things. Like my craze wasn't like really set up, and like so yeah, just feeling like almost underprepared, but just like nah, I got this, like I could do this. Right.
SPEAKER_00And so yeah, question questions for you, because you said you were like a little nervous at first. So do you feel like there's like a pressure to perform? Like if you're an actor or uh a stand-up comedian, do you feel that same pressure as a DJ? Or do you feel like people are more like tuning into the music?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I think I heard Chris Rock say a long time ago. He was like, being nervous just mean that you care. And so I think that like if you care, then you always a little. I I think anybody, it doesn't matter how bad, I'm sure Justin Bieber just did Coach Hall, I'm sure he was a little nervous. You know what I'm saying? Like, and he done he done rocked how many stages. It's like I think if you actually care, you're gonna always want to do a good job. And so when you're doing a a a big performance or even a small performance, you're gonna get, you know what I'm saying? If you care, you're gonna be a little nervous, right?
SPEAKER_00No, it's crazy. I had someone on earlier today, um, and he does some acting, so that's why I was asking, but he said it's actually uh you get more nervous with a smaller crowd opposed to the big ones.
SPEAKER_01I would, I would, I could definitely see that smaller. Yeah, it's more intimate, it's more like you're more vulnerable. You can't hide.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_01You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00So let's say, for example, you're doing the window. Do you get nervous with like a small crowd like that? Or because it's all for sure, for sure, for sure. Is it all your people or random people too?
SPEAKER_01Well, when we're shooting it, it's it's usually our people. It's like friends. Um, the one we did in New York, there were a lot of strangers. It was a lot of people I didn't know. I was, it was more people I didn't know. I was than people that I did know. Whereas like the one we did at LA, it was like all it was definitely all of the homies. But um, yeah, I think it's all again, like I really like not to sound like that person, but I do care. So it's like I do get a little nervous, but like um I think when we're shooting, it's a little easier. Cause like usually I kind of know where I'm gonna go with it. Okay. Um, I think it's when it's like I know that I'm gonna like freestyle a set, is when I get a little nervous. Cause like if I'm DJing four people, I don't plan a set list. Like, I'm just gonna play to the room. Gotcha. Um, but like if I'm filming a window, traditionally I'll have like a playlist that like I, you know, can can help guide me so that it's not because it's such a production to edit and do that. You make one mistake, you gotta start over. You know what I'm saying? So it's like I ain't nobody got time for that.
SPEAKER_00But are you saying with the set list? If you make a mistake, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01It's like it when we're recording the windows, like if I make a mistake, like this needs to flow throughout. Like, if I make a mistake, we gotta start over. So it's like, you know, I try to mitigate that by having somewhat of a playlist, but anytime I'm DJing with if it's not just me, then I'm not really going off a playlist. I'm a I'ma play to try to fit what's happening around me. Um but anytime you see me by myself, then yeah, that's usually like a playlist that like I come with. I still might freestyle like on you know while I'm shooting. Yeah, like while I'm shooting, I might be like, uh, I don't think that song should go next, and then switch it out. But like traditionally, I don't ever really go into it with like a plan set list.
SPEAKER_00Gotcha.
SPEAKER_01If I'm DJing like at a club or any any place where there's people.
SPEAKER_00Okay. You can actually uh answer this too. I don't you guys if you ever play outside, you come too, I'm assuming. Yeah. Okay. So do you have any like embarrassing moments or like crazy crowd moments? Absolutely. I gotta hear the craziest story right now.
SPEAKER_02I'm interested to see what yours is gonna be.
SPEAKER_01Well, because you might have a different one. I I'm not gonna say this is the craziest, but I'm gonna say just is this one. This is just the first one that came to my mind. The first one that came to my mind was definitely um we did like a private thing for like um his pops. And bro, it's already sound bro, bro, bro. To this day, like that that day haunts me. And it was like, you know, everybody's like, he did such a great job. Like, people asking me for business cards, and I cannot let go of what happened. They so in the party, they had like a salsa moment. And so yeah, so like, you know, they had saucered, like teachers helping everybody to dance. Like, it was a fly party. Like, shout out, shout out Doc, man. That was a well-curated event. Um, but the dancer, like the teacher, she had asked me, like, yo, I need you to have these songs preloaded. And so she was like, Yeah, like she was like, I just need a uh saucer song, a bachata song, and like let's just start with the electric slot. And I'm like, Yeah, bet. That's easy for sure. I got all of that. Um we get to that moment. It occurs to me right at that moment when she tells me to play electric slot, because she was like, everybody knows electric slot, it's and like dancing bachata is and is like effectively like the basic roots of that is like the electric slot. So I'm like, Bet. I go to play electric slot, and it hits me like wait, she said electric slot, not cha cha slot. And for whatever reason, when she asked me to play, did I have electric slot? I registered as cha cha slot. I had never downloaded electric slot. That was also a mistake on my part. Like, why don't you have electric slot with karate?
SPEAKER_05Two completely different dances.
SPEAKER_01That's like it's not even in the same, like the tempo, not nothing. Like, bro, so now I am trying to download electric slot on the spot. This is this is now. The music is off now. The music is off. Everybody's waiting. Dumb quiet, dumb quiet. He's like, bro, you gotta play something. He like, bro, you gotta play something. Now everybody there, like, yeah, what's going on?
SPEAKER_02Like started, like, I heard people whispering and they like what the music now is.
SPEAKER_01I need to hear something. Because mind you, like, they was all sitting down eating, and they just made them get up. Oh, and so now everybody's on the that is that it wasn't like there was a full dance floor, and then there's a I cut. It was like, oh, we stopping intermission, stop eating, stop what you're doing, come dance. And then I ain't got the song ready.
SPEAKER_00So, how how long did that take?
SPEAKER_01That took longer than it should have.
SPEAKER_02At least it was probably like two minutes.
SPEAKER_01It felt like even 30 seconds, like an hour. Okay, that's a long time. But it was probably 60 to seconds to a minute. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00It was probably like the king that goes by in silence. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02They were cool the first like 15 seconds, they were cool.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so like a little glitch.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like it was cool.
SPEAKER_01And then it got bad. Then it got bad.
SPEAKER_02I said something around 45. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01He's like, bro, just bro, just play Suave Mente. They all like that. That was the best thing that could have happened for the night. What'd you end up playing? Suave Mente. That's exactly what I did. It went up. That's exactly what I did. We skipped, we skipped the whole step. They all started like went crazy. Save the night.
SPEAKER_00But that was the case. It's crazy how you can just hear a beat like that, just hear something, and it just makes it infinitely. It gets the people going.
SPEAKER_03It gets the people going. Because that's silence. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00We've all been to a party like that where you hear that silence, DJ transitioning, or like whatever cut off. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01It's cute for about five seconds. Five seconds max.
SPEAKER_03Once they start doing the no music, bro, it's over. You ever got that?
SPEAKER_01Fortunately, I haven't gotten that. I haven't. Yeah, not yeah. But yeah. Like, fortunately, that hasn't happened.
SPEAKER_02So was this a Latin party or nah, bro. I don't I don't know, bro. My pops. Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was. It was Cuban vibe.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it was a Cuban vibe. Yeah, it was like a theme. It was a theme. You thought you was at the cookout. You were playing Cha Cha Slide instead.
SPEAKER_01Yo, I don't know where my hair was at, bro, when she said electric slide and me thinking Cha Cha Slide to this day.
SPEAKER_02To be fair, to be fair, to be fair, we had a lot going on that weekend. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I was sick.
SPEAKER_02He was sick.
SPEAKER_01I was battling a cold.
SPEAKER_02It was cold as hell.
SPEAKER_01It was eight degrees that day. Wait, where was New Jersey? Jersey. Oh, Jersey. It was very cold. Brick. And we had done a window the night before.
SPEAKER_02And y'all were outside. And we like. No, no, no. So we flew in, like, I think I might have landed that Friday. And then we did the wind down Friday night, then the next event Saturday, and then we were out Sunday. Yeah. And then we did a Super Bowl party when we got back.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02On that Sunday.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. In LA.
SPEAKER_02In LA. So like it definitely was just like, it was a lot, bro.
SPEAKER_03Suave Mente saved the day.
SPEAKER_02Suave Mente.
SPEAKER_01Shout out to Silver Mente. Man, that's hilarious. Great song. That's funny as hell. That one was the first one that came out. I was about to just ask you what you was going to say.
SPEAKER_02The angel reese one.
SPEAKER_01See, actually, if you want to pick the next part. He wanted to tell this story so bad. He wanted this to be the truth. I'll let you pick the next one.
SPEAKER_00I want to hear this story.
SPEAKER_01I'm not going to do that.
SPEAKER_02Actually, actually, you know the crazier, the crazier one was. I think a crazy, it wasn't like funny, but like this was like a kind of like a oh shit moment. So we did Jack Boys 2 release party with Cactus Jack.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, the way he's going down.
SPEAKER_02So shout out to Busy, shout out to Dougie and the rest of the team. But they asked us if he could do it. Obviously, like that's a no-brainer, you gotta do it. He was up there for a while too. He DJ'd for how long? Like four hours?
SPEAKER_01That was a long time.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that one was probably like that. No, it might have been four. It was the most labor-intensive one for sure. Up up until that point. So this you know, this project, the Cactus Jack fans are like insane, like crazy. They like die for this. So the album's coming out and it's like around like midnight, so it definitely like is out. So I like walk up to him at this point. I'm like, yo, like, bro, you gotta download this album. And he was like, yo, like this. And see if they can send. I was like, I'ma try. But like, you need to download this, bro. Like, turn it into a hotspot or whatever it may be. Like, you gotta do it. So I'm not up there at this point. So, like, I guess, like, busy yesterday or whatever. He was like, yo, like, I'll Josh, like, yo, I'll hype the crowd, whatever. And he was like, no, don't worry about it. Like, Chase will come, like, just swap out with you, and Chase will do it. Like, all right, bet. So, bro, out of nowhere, bro. Like, I'm not, mind you, I'm not by the stage at this point. Like, I'm probably like a little like on side. I just hear like them just start going crazy. Like the fans going crazy, and I walk up there, bro. And like, I guess from what he told me, like he came up there and turned Travis was right there. It was like, yo, like, turn whatever you're playing, turn this shit off. Like, play Jack Boys 2. And like it had just downloaded at that point. Like, it had just downloaded.
SPEAKER_00As soon as you put it on?
SPEAKER_01It was like, bro. Thank thank God he told me to try to find a way to download it. Cause I would have died on the hill of, oh nah, I'm not doing it. They said Chase doing it. And so because the album like just came out. Like it was like, it's only because what? I think it was it strike midnight, but it was like 9 p.m. in L in LA. But it probably was a little past that at that time. Yeah. They probably got midnight. Yeah, so then it was like we couldn't get the file. So then I just went, I found one person that had uploaded the album for download. So I download it. Um just to have it. But I didn't even put it in Serrado. Cause I'm like, they're not, it's not, they're going to do a transition, right? Chase gonna come up, because like he said, I asked busy. I'm like, yo, if you want me to die, he's like, nah, don't worry about that. Chase gonna do that, get the crown rolling down. I'm like, bet. Bro, I'm just DJing. I'm like, I'm just keep playing songs. Just keep playing the songs. You know what I'm saying? Not gonna do too much of like his bigger songs, because I'm like, I know they probably gonna use those songs to get the crowd, like when they before they play the new album, they're gonna get the crowd going with the hits. So I'm not gonna play all the I'm not gonna play all the hits. I'm gonna just play, you know, cactus jack music. Man.
SPEAKER_00As soon as you put it on.
SPEAKER_01No, no, no, no, no. I'm just DJing. Oh, just DJing. And I'm waiting for them to transition me out to be like, yo, his D, like Travis's DJ is gonna come off stage, and then they're gonna do a real introduction, like, yo, here's the new album. But he had you just I look to my left, Travis Scott right here, like, turn this shit the fuck off, play Jack Boys 2. Mind you, nobody sent me Jack's Boys 2. So I'm like, oh, okay. And then like as I'm trying to turn it up, mind you, I didn't put it in Serrata, so I'm trying to put it in Serata. He like, I said, turn this off. Play Jack Boys 2 right now. Man, listen. Mind you, I don't know a song. I don't know what song to play first. I don't know nothing. It just came out. I don't know what's slapping.
SPEAKER_02I don't know what's not slapping. But credit to him, bro. Like, he's playing like whatever he plays.
SPEAKER_01The I think it was the first song they they had dropped a song like a day or two before. So he played. That was like an intro.
SPEAKER_00Download it in the moment?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I downloaded it on my off my hotspot because it wasn't in there. We in the middle of nowhere.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, we in the middle of nowhere.
SPEAKER_01Middle of nowhere, bro. Like, we're not in LA. We not in LA. We are East California. Like, we not in LA. But um, yeah, like download it off the hot spot, throw it in there. I play that song, and then that's when he was like, you know, the crowd goes crazy, like he's talking about. And then Travis, like, um play kick out, which was like one of the songs that like had leaked that fans was going crazy to finally hear, and like they was dropping, and so I'm like, bet, and he was like, yo, actually, you about to switch with Chase. And then he's like, you know what? Nah, play kick out, and then y'all switch. And so then I play kick out, and that crowd goes nice.
SPEAKER_02But bro, like he's nice with it, like with the transition? Cause like, bro, like we didn't hear it, so like you don't really know how to like transition to it. You're kind of just doing it off feel. And like he did it, and like we caught it like on video. When our homies caught it on video, and we caught that on video, and like once he like did it, and it's like all you just see is like everyone like travel looking around smiling, like everybody going just start turning up. Yeah, just went crazy.
SPEAKER_01Because both of the songs was like in similar tempo. So once he told me, because I played the intro song, and then he was like, play kick out, and then when I saw it, was like, oh, this is the same tempo. I'm gonna just lock it in so that when I drop it, it's a seamless drop. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's not really much space in between when I transition a song.
SPEAKER_00So when you're playing, you're hearing the song queued up in one ear, right?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and then I didn't even have it, I just had my phone. I just listened to it, but I bet I just heard it like I bet. And I could see the wavelength, so I'm like, oh, the song starts right on the beat. Like, it don't got no intro.
SPEAKER_00You did it perfectly.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so I'm like, the song ain't got no intro, it just starts. I'm like, okay, bet we just gonna drop it. So I faded out of the next song and dropped it. And then when I dropped it, it that's where it's like that's when the homie caught the video of the perfect like transition of that. You gotta send me the Travis get turned up. Yeah, we got to get it. Yeah, like Travis get turned up, everybody gets turned up, and like that's so did they keep you on?
SPEAKER_00Nah, they switched to you. No, no, we switched, we switched, yeah.
SPEAKER_01We switched, we switched because Chase, you know, that's his DJ, and like Chase going, you know, he knows what to play. Yeah, it just it just is more seamless having them do it together. It was just I was supposed to just be the opening DJ. But like, that's the story of my life, right? Like that's the first story, like with Stairs. It's like I was supposed to be the open DJ next thing you know. Oh man, you're just like I'm doing the whole year. Ended up doing eight hours a day. Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_00So it's like that's that was that was what's like the once you start to pass like an hour, two hours, like how do you how do you kind of make because even like you know, if you work a normal job, you know, you're at work for four hours, you start to get drained. Like, how do you maintain that?
SPEAKER_01Um, like like not getting bored or something?
SPEAKER_00Uh not getting bored, uh keeping up with the crowd, um, just pushing through the fatigue, whatever it is. Repassado? Yeah. Reposado.
SPEAKER_01I'm not drinking right now. No, but um, reposado helps. Quiet is kept. We're not promoting alcoholism. Um but you know, it it depends. Like, I think in usually I'm fine. I feel like it hits me the nights where it's like I'm like tired, I didn't really sleep, or like it's like been a number of nights stacking on each other. So then that last or like that weekend he was talking about, like when we came back and had to do the Super Bowl, like I was fighting through that because I was still sick. And it was like, and that was a two-hour set, and it was just like just getting off. I had flu in, we flew in that morning, and it was just like it was it was a lot. So like times like that, it's just it's really just man, it's just doing the job. I think it's just yeah, just the love of the game. It's just like sometimes you just gotta lock in and be like, listen, it'll be over before you know it. Like so that's valid. Yeah, that's that's really it. Like, but sometimes it is reposado. Sometimes it sometimes it really is reposado.
SPEAKER_02Um yeah, for like a while that was like kind of like our thing. Like every starter like said, like, you know, like some people have like handshake, whatever. Like our thing is like we cheers a little reposado, be like, yo, see you on the other side and let him rock out.
SPEAKER_00Damn, yeah. You know what's crazy? I got a boy who DJs and he don't even drink.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I mean he's just those are probably like I would say like people that work in nightlife. I'm not surprised.
SPEAKER_00But he's fueled off a Red Bull, so that's uh that's his own thing.
SPEAKER_01He gotta he gotta slow down off that, but like, yeah, it's that's my dog. Yeah, you know, it's it is a thing that I mean that's why I've I've actually taken a step back from drinking a little bit, because it's it's an easy thing. Yeah, you drink for free, right? Like that's the thing. People come come see me DJ and they're like, you need anything?
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, do you need something?
SPEAKER_00I got a bottle. I respect it though. It's harder to turn that down.
SPEAKER_01And I and I respect people offering that, but it's like that's the thing. It's like it's it's an easy trap to fall in because you literally drink for free. It's like it's the one job where it's like you don't gotta worry about it. You know what I'm saying? Like exactly. Like, that's what even stop people from drinking sometimes is how much money is about to cost them to keep drinking. You know what I mean? So it's like if you ain't if it don't cost you now, they handing you a bottle, handing you two bottles, handing you three bottles, like, oh yeah, have fun.
unknownShh.
SPEAKER_01You know what I mean? If you don't, yeah, it adds up. Take a toll on your body. Yeah, so you know, it it is shout out to people that do the job that can still do the job. Because I I know there's other people that like you can convince yourself that you need that to do the job. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, whether it's like you trying to work off the nerves or like you tired and you trying to keep yourself up, it's like I I I felt that for myself too, of like, oh damn, like am I am I not feeling the vibe enough if I'm sober and everybody else in here and drunk? You know what I'm saying? But it's like, nah, it's you don't need that to get the job though, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00Like um if you're good at what you do, you love what you do, then it's cool. You know, for sure. If you want to do it here and there, have fun. Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_01It's like you know, I ain't done. I ain't I ain't I ain't done forever, but like, you know, you gotta in moderation, you know what I mean? Catch yourself, you know what I mean? Because it's like it is taking a toll on your body, and it if this is your career, it's gonna be a lot more nice like this.
SPEAKER_00Facts.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You know what's funny, uh same thing. You can ask Britt, because she came out a long time ago. And when we first started this, um, man, we were drinking. I I remember our very first episode. We almost 200 episodes in. Yeah. Very first episode, we had a bottle of handy on the table and just like and continue doing that probably like the first 25 episodes. Um made y'all stop. Like, was there we're just like alright, we want to continue doing this. We didn't necessarily need it, but it was just like it started as having fun with the boys. We started during COVID, so it's like and then I'm like, I'm thinking about the future. I'm like, bro, I can't be episode 200. Yeah, drinking hardly. That's why we transition to wine, so like if we want to have something, something light, but I'm like, bro, I can't be drinking reposado every week.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it does take a toll, and it's like, yo.
SPEAKER_02And if like we got late nights sometimes too, so like you're drinking on top of like not really sleeping, bro. You might be alright that first day, and then it's like you know, it takes you out, bro. Trust me.
SPEAKER_00So that's me on this trip right now.
SPEAKER_01So it's like, you know. Had a long night last night. It adds up, you know. And sometimes, again, like to your point, it's like sometimes that's what gets the party started, right? Like, y'all probably wouldn't have even gotten to 20 episodes had had it not been for anybody just getting y'all in the groove of like trying something new. You know what I mean? Like, but then after you get your rhythm, it's like, all right, what do we actually need here? Like, we don't need that. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00So it's like that was more so for the guests. It was like the who makes them comfortable because it's an experience for y'all too. Exactly. Exactly.
SPEAKER_01And and and a lot of times it can, again, it can help people loosen up. So, like, right, you know, I I'm not gonna act like I have I didn't use that as a crutch, but it's like I think it's just about recognizing when you know what I mean, yeah, exactly. Exactly.
SPEAKER_00So all right we're gonna play a little game. All right, it's game time. Can you hit that green button one more time? Yeah, it's game time. We playing a little overrated or underrated. And we played this before, but we never played a DJ edition.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00You prepared? Listen, man. Alright. You can throw in your answers too if you want. Alright. Overrated or underrated underground parties.
SPEAKER_01Underground parties? I read that wrong. Overrated or underrated underground parties. Um depending on who you're talking to. It's it's funny. I'm talking to you. I'm talking about. True. Fair, fair. For me, an underground party. I'm gonna ask you a question before I ask you a question. What's an underground party?
SPEAKER_00Let's say um an LA house party. I'm gonna say I'm gonna say underrated. A NY basement party. Underrated?
SPEAKER_02Underrated under the party.
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna say underrated. I'm gonna say underrated. Especially an NY basement party? Definitely underrated. I've actually never been to one. Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy. Could be the best night of your life, depending on who's hosting that. Yeah, no. For sure. I'll be out, I'll be out there. LA could be overrated.
SPEAKER_00But it's not really a nightlife scene here, right? It's more like events, house parties.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, for sure. But I'm saying an LA house party could be overrated. It could be underrated. Okay. Depending on the NY could be underrated. For sure. Underrated. And why for sure? I'm going to underrated for sure. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Jersey super underrated.
SPEAKER_01Jersey's super underrated. I like that. I'm with that. I'm actually with that. Jersey. Jersey. Super underrated for the house party of Jersey. Because everybody, Jersey. Yeah, fix your face.
SPEAKER_02Some of your favorite creatives from Jersey. Yeah, no, no. This is true. This is true. Put some respect on our name.
SPEAKER_00Matter of fact, I don't know, you know, how far you've been, where you've been, but is there a let's say, besides Jersey, is there a state where they're like, all right, this these people can get down.
SPEAKER_03Dallas, Texas. Dallas, Texas? Dallas, Texas. See, I knew you went on the trips with them, didn't you? Yeah, I went to the trips.
SPEAKER_00I thought you were trying to deny it.
SPEAKER_02That's crazy.
SPEAKER_01I didn't deny. You get on the camera. Dallas.
SPEAKER_02He said, I'm coming to see you. Nah, I love Dallas. Dallas is fun. I feel like any like Dallas Quick, too.
SPEAKER_05Dallas, Texas.
SPEAKER_02Dallas, Texas. Without, because it's like the mid, like mid-tier, like I hate saying the mid-tier, but like mid-level cities. See how they do? Nah, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_01I don't know what you said, man.
SPEAKER_02What I'm saying is not like a major big city, like a New York, an LA, Atlanta, a Miami, like something that's like a smaller hub. Like, shhh, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_03Okay. Those I feel like they have the most value. They get down to Dallas. Yeah, yeah. Okay. For sure. What about you?
SPEAKER_01I wasn't outside in Dallas. I ain't know. I just worked in a lot of cities. I ain't never get to party, man.
SPEAKER_00Well, you host a party in a way.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, I just work.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_00Have you ever seen a crowd in a city that's like, nah.
SPEAKER_01I don't even like people.
SPEAKER_00So you you won't even see the people.
SPEAKER_01You just numbers for you. I would say if I had to pick a city that I don't think I've been in a city that like I slept on and they like surprised me. I think they usually live up to the expectation. I'm like, yeah, this place sucks. I thought this place was gonna suck, and it sucks. Which one suck the most? Um that's a really good question. Uh what was a what was a stop that I was just like, I don't think so. Oh, no, it's I'm gonna be honest. I'm gonna keep it stacked. I'm not gonna say I thought this place sucked because the way everybody talked about it was like it was lit. I went there twice in the last year. I ain't moved. Hit me with it. Austin. I am very moved by Austin.
SPEAKER_03I had fun at Austin.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I'm not. I had fun the first time. I keep hearing, but like I made myself have fun. There's a difference between you having fun because you got a good attitude and and like it was actually fun. You see what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_02Like so let me let me ask you though. When do you feel like you compare your fun to like other cities? Like if you go to like Austin, are you comparing it to New York? Are you comparing it to no?
SPEAKER_01Not at all. I had a lot of fun in Boston my life. Because I feel like and it does not compete.
SPEAKER_03Boston is a fun at the city, though.
SPEAKER_01Any of the fun that I've had in LA and New York, that it don't even light a candle. But I I will only speak good on Boston, you know what I'm saying? Because of the time that I've had there, but like it don't light a candle by far, it was not the most funny candle.
SPEAKER_00But you just specifically remember when it's not a good time, it sticks with you.
SPEAKER_01Well, it's just more so like everybody talking about Austin being lit. And and again, I have not been there like that, like that. So like take this with a grain of salt. Like, I was there both times for work, didn't much that have much time to party. But like, bruh. Nah.
SPEAKER_00Bruh. We have to see how this is Texas boy.
SPEAKER_01Listen, Texas. Like Dallas, I could see the potential. I didn't really get to experience nothing out there, so I can't speak on it. Same with Houston. Didn't get to really experience, but I hear good things.
SPEAKER_00Say keep Austin weird. Hey. Yeah, whatever that's supposed to do.
SPEAKER_01That's their model. Yeah, whatever that's supposed to be. And and and listen, shout out the people in Austin, man. That's that's that like first thing first. Shout out to people in Austin. I got some people. I'll be listen, I'll be looking at the the the uh the analytics. We got some listeners in Austin, so shout out to the folks at Austin.
SPEAKER_00Actually, I want to say same because I think Austin, Dallas, and Houston is in our top ten listeners. See? See? I do want to go to Houston.
SPEAKER_02Have you been either one of y'all been to Houston?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I've been to Houston and Dallas. I've been but all my stops at Texas have been like real quick. So I haven't I haven't been able like really get a full like I went to Dallas, but I went to uh Giants versus Cowboys game. So I wasn't really like experience all of it.
SPEAKER_01So y'all take this with a grain of salt. I'm not trying to love me. I'm not trying to kick stomp on Austin. I just in a little bit of time that I've been there, I ain't been to Wavies.
SPEAKER_00You know what? Maybe they need to put us on.
SPEAKER_01That's what I'm saying. A little joint tour, that's what I'm saying. We need to go down there. Show us where it's at. Put that in the comments. Where is the vibes at the next time we're gonna come out? I get some barbecue and vibes. Because I have some Terry Blacks, though.
SPEAKER_04You know what I mean? Barbecue.
SPEAKER_01Because that's what they're known for. We're not even about to go down this rabbit hole, bro. Alright, let's get another one.
SPEAKER_00So um, what's a good one? Uh I said this before, but overrated, underrated festival crowds. You ever perform for festival crowds?
SPEAKER_01Underrated. Underrated. Okay. Underrated. Strong, strong, understanding. Underrated. Strong and strong. Underrated. Underrated. Underrated. That is by far underrated. What's the biggest crowd you perform for? I don't know how many people were in that crowd, but it was at a smaller stage at Rolling Loud. Okay. That was for for sure. I I did it with another artist. So it was mainly his set. I wasn't really DJing.
SPEAKER_00So that's at least what it was?
SPEAKER_01At least. At least. Um, but like another one where I was just DJing was probably like 2,500 people. Okay. And that was in San Diego.
SPEAKER_00Um so is there like a high you get from it when there's a large crowd?
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, man. Like I think that is what we all striving for. Like that feeling of like, I keep bringing up Justin Bieber, but like that.
SPEAKER_00We let it be.
SPEAKER_01You know what I'm saying? Like that is like, I think anybody that's an artist, you're gonna see that. I I don't I don't see how you cannot be inspired. You know what I'm saying? Especially if you felt something close to that, then you can only imagine what it feels to have all of the hundreds of thousands of people that's probably at Coachella, or whatever the number is at Coachella is like watching you and you know what I mean. Yeah, it's like come on, man. Like that, I think that as for a performer, like festivals as a you know a fan, overrated. But like, but as a performer, underrated.
SPEAKER_00That is would you ever perform?
SPEAKER_01Say yeah?
SPEAKER_00Would you ever perform?
SPEAKER_01Like at a festival?
SPEAKER_00In general, like because you make music too, right? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Like would you take that every time step away from the mixer and put on full performance?
SPEAKER_01Absolutely. I think that like I can see why an artist would also say, like, if you used to doing big crowds, I can see why artists is gonna say overrated because then the music can get lost, right? Like, nothing's like an intimate show if if it's like, you know, a hundred uh or like a 200 cap room, right? Like everybody, you get if you're in a 200-cap room, you can see everybody in the room, right? Like, so like, but that like is gonna mean more to like Drake, who like is doing big festivals or stadiums or whatever, right? Or like a Justin Bebe or whoever. Um, whereas like somebody on a come up, when you do your first festival or your first like stadium, change the life. Man, I don't like that's a feeling I can only imagine what that feels like. So I think that yeah, I think that performing at a festival is 100% underrated. Going to a festival, young man's game, overrated. I'm good. Yeah, that's a fact.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'm I remember uh, well, you was talking about really loud. It was in Miami for so many years. Yes, yeah, and uh, oh man, it got it's nasty hot too.
SPEAKER_02They do it during the summer, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like like May. That's nasty. In May, it's already humidity's already out now. It's nasty. And I don't it's it's uh I want to say it's a 16 plus event.
SPEAKER_01So it you get a lot of festivals are, even Coachella. They got kids at Coachella, yeah. People don't realize it, but like it's kids.
SPEAKER_00That's something I didn't know at first. Yeah, it's kids.
SPEAKER_01That's why they got a whole beer garden and stuff, because you can only drink in a certain area. But yeah, no, it's it's it's kids at most of these festivals.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, we'll stay with you.
SPEAKER_01Buy a lot of bit a lot of liability. So I respect them for taking that chance because I thought festival, yeah. I don't think so. Yeah, trust me. Tell little Timmy go to playground something. I don't think so. Okay, go, go, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00So we were gonna uh end on this little a few scenarios related to the music. Um what's the first one? I I want to make sure I word it right. So basically, we're gonna give some scenarios. Um, what we would play. Well, primarily would Josh would play, Josie.
SPEAKER_03Josie.
SPEAKER_00In certain scenarios, certain situations, especially as a DJ. Um, but we want to make it relatable for everybody. So whether it's on a late night drive, uh on the way to work, after a long day, in the bedroom, whatever you're doing, at the gym, whatever you're doing. So we'll have different scenarios. Okay. So uh let's start with, let's start with, ooh. I'm thinking of a good one. You know what? We're gonna start hot. Okay. Because I just said it. Oh, yeah. And we got a big female audience, about 80% lady. So it's a song you will play in the bedroom. Special lady. Special lady. Special lady. Not special. She's real special to you. She's real special. Real special. You're trying to set the mood.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay. Uh I'm I might off top then go Sha Day. I might off top go Sha Day. Go Sade. Um a little bit. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00I'm trying to audio track in the in the in the cover too.
SPEAKER_01Off top. Oh my god. Love is rock. I don't know why it took me so long to say that. Okay. Love is rock side for sure, yeah. That's going like you still lighting the candles. Maybe the wine has been poured already. Maybe you pouring the wine. You should have had a music plan already, so then you pouring the wine while the song is playing. Okay. Setting the mood. Lighting the candles all that. You feel me? Okay. Setting the mood.
SPEAKER_00More God.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Me personally, I don't need to pick a song. I just go to YouTube and type in line down. Pick the phone. There you go, man.
SPEAKER_01Shameless plug, man. Go and get that, man.
SPEAKER_02I do that.
SPEAKER_00You feel me? You get an hour of this, baby. Yeah, like because like we're gonna be able to do that. We got hours. We got hours.
SPEAKER_02We got different options for you. You know what I mean? I'm trying to focus on the conversation that with the young lady. I don't want to have to keep like making sure. Sometimes Spotify gets a little split. I'm gonna be real with you.
SPEAKER_00Good point. I do the, I'm with you. I do the same because first of all, that's a good point. That's a very good point. The music is important. You can't sit there in silence. Ah, hell no. And same with Spotify. You don't know if something comes up. Like you it's going good, then pop shit playing. And then now the move messed up. Now it's messed up. They start throwing in suggestions. I don't want that. I don't want that. You feel me? Give me a strict playlist. Yeah. I don't gotta touch it. Yeah. The camera is. Curated. I did this.
SPEAKER_02All of them work. You gotta listen to enjoy the moment. And listen, I'm so player. I'm so player. I don't even go. I play the one that you send in the email for me to put me to touch it. Like no commercials.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no commercials. He said no outbreaks. Yeah, no outbreaks, Kevin.
SPEAKER_02What you mean we're having a like a serious conversation and then all of a sudden an Ozempic commercial or some crazy shit like that. Are you struggling with the pressure? Like no, I'm not trying to hear that.
SPEAKER_00Nah, we can't have that. We can't have that. Yeah, so.
SPEAKER_01Window, man. Gotta we gotta do it. We on 13. We got 13 volumes. That's enough time for you to do what you gotta do. If it ain't happening 13 volumes, gang. Bro, I got superpowers. Yeah, you gotta figure it out.
SPEAKER_02The crazy part, you know, I feel like we don't ever talk about the comments, bro. We read like, we always read the comments and we try to respond to like everything. And bro, like, there's hella comments where it's like, yo, I got some cheeks to this. Like, shout out to y'all, bro.
SPEAKER_01Shout out to everybody getting cheeks to the window. Like, I don't I don't like putting like nah, but respectful, because like I don't like putting myself on the screen. So I won't ever play it. Like, that feels too self-indulgent to like have somebody come to my play. So I'm at somebody else's play, whatever it is, right? Like, hotel, whatever. And then put myself on the screen. Just but I want that playlist, which is why we started doing windown radio. Which is out now. Shameless plug. We got window radio right now. Audio only. You know, we got the first ones, it's just interludes. Like it's some of my favorite interludes, but it's definitely made for sexy time. You know what I'm saying? When you it's that moment, right? It's on YouTube only right now, but we're gonna we're gonna move it to other platforms for sure. But yeah, that's a good, like, just put that on. It's only 30 minutes. So stick and move with that. That's the one that's just you feel me? Like, that's keep curate that. You feel me? Yeah, like that one is just to get the, you know what I mean? When you walk through the door, when you pouring the wine, all of that, getting the vibe started. That's the perfect set the mood joint. You know what I'm saying? But that ain't gonna get you through the night. But we got more coming. Okay, for sure. Okay, for sure.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so so you DJing and you gotta set the vibe right. What's a song that will work no matter what? It's gonna get everybody going. Yo, it's so funny.
SPEAKER_01There's so many, right? I'm uh off top though, because when when when you said everybody, it's it put me like outside of the lens of like just the RB a hip hop crowd, right? Like, and so then I thought about what happened in the story we told you previously, where I didn't have electric slide.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Suave mente, as quiet as it kept, you play that in any environment. Pandemonium. Pandemonium, people gonna go crazy. Cause who don't know Suave Mente? You feel me? Suave Mente guaranteed to work. Um, you know, it's so many, but like Superstar by Usher, that's a good one. Superstars are good. Okay.
SPEAKER_02You know what else goes crazy when you play it too? Is like that by future. Like that, definitely. Honestly, any future.
SPEAKER_01That's gonna work. That's lifestyle. Yeah, lifestyle. This lifestyle is like, you know, that's what you want. With old lifestyle? Uh yeah. Yeah, with Rich Dom. Exactly. Like lifestyle is gonna work every time. Every time. Like lifestyle is like, you know, um one that people use as a crutch. I know you didn't ask me this. No, but it just made me think of it. Because that song does work, but I don't prefer playing. It's always being played. Oh, don't say it. It's Swag Surf. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01Swagsurf is a song that I feel like. Maybe y'all play that more everybody.
SPEAKER_00People in Florida don't play it as much. Yeah, like it is something that is over. We play Dreams and Nightmares a lot.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah. That's another one.
SPEAKER_00That's almost mad when I hear it now.
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna be honest. That one, I feel more disdain for that than I do Swag Surf.
SPEAKER_02To play Devil's Advocate, though. If it's the right time, it's not 1.30. It's the right time. And the repo is repo in the right. It's the right time. You know what I'm saying? And the lights are off, the lights is on, bro. Like I'm with the homies.
SPEAKER_01It's crazy. My eyes get closed. There was a there was a time I got a request for that song and I didn't play it. Um, and I usually play requests when I think it's a good song. Yeah, like I'm not one of the DJs that's like, oh, I don't play. Unless it sucks. If it sucks, then I can't help you. But like if it's a solid song, yeah. Why not turn you up and everybody else in here? But um she requested Dreams and Nightmares, and while that is a decent request, it I didn't like I didn't like the setting for it. Like it was like it was at um I don't know if I told you this, but um, it was at uh what's that club at West Hollywood, the spot we did. I only did it once, but um it was recent.
SPEAKER_02What's her name, bro?
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, I know what you're saying. What is it? It's gallery.
SPEAKER_01Gallery. We was at Gallery on Sunset. Um to put it in lame's terms, it's not that many black people at Gallery on Sunset. And she this woman, you know, I don't know, seemed like a nice girl. She came up to me and requests Dreams and Nightmares. Dreams and nightmares. And I automatically assumed that she was referring to an artist I just didn't know. Yeah, like I just I was like, uh, and I didn't have the Wi-Fi, so I'm like, you know. Yeah, I just, and then she was like, Dreams and nightmares, Meek Mill. I said, Oh, you meant dream Meek Mill's dreams and name.
SPEAKER_00I was just trying to turn this up. Nah.
SPEAKER_01But before I played that, I played Unwritten by Natasha Betterfield. That's another one. That's a banger right. That's awesome. That is also a crowd pleaser. That is that is definitely my white girl song that I'm gonna play every time.
SPEAKER_02Drop that, drop that, drop that. You know what it is.
SPEAKER_00Alright, so what we like to do on this podcast, you know we love music. We love all genres of music for sure. And we want to know what is your guilty pleasure song? My guilty pleasure. Whoever wants to go first. Uh I'm not talking about like some Drake or you know, I'm talking about lice.

SPEAKER_04No place I rather be. I know you know that song. I know you don't know where he's singing, bro. Look, see, they got about the phone. Because once we play, you're gonna be like, oh yeah, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00All right, so yeah, what's your guilty pleasure?
SPEAKER_01First thing comes to my mind is was it DJ Snaking and Luna George?
unknownOh.

SPEAKER_02Play that. I want to play it. Play it recording. I know you like it.
SPEAKER_01I know you like it. What you want? What you want to do. Oh, you like NBA 2K music. That's not NBA 2K. What do you throw? I actually is not NBA 2K. NBA 2K only put it on there because of how lit that song got. It's on NBA 2K. That's what I'm saying. Only he knows that. Again, usually what I've gathered is in places where they are playing songs like that, no one gives me a lot of things.
SPEAKER_02They're really there to like feel like hang out with their friends.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no one really cares about the music. Yeah. You're just here because this place is where you can get the most you know F'd up in here, and then that's it. You know what I'm saying? Like, you just trying to get the most lit you could possibly get. Everybody, they don't care. There's actually been playing anything.
SPEAKER_00There's been times, like I like music like that. I like a good house beat. And there's been times where I've been places like that, and they're actually playing good music, and they're not even dancing because they talking and drinking so much.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. That's what I'm saying. They be playing baby shark in there. They don't care. They don't care. No one cares that's at that establishment that is overly playing the EDM. Like house music and DEM, two different things. Two different things. Two different things. I like house. I love house. House, we could do. Two different things. EDM specifically, when they rinsing that stuff. I'm not even going to start quoting songs, but like when they rinsing some of that material. I don't think so. I don't think so. That's all I'm going to say. That's fair.
SPEAKER_00We're going to end on that for time purposes. Yeah, for sure. Appreciate y'all coming on for real. Listen, you know, when it goes long like this, you know the vibes are back. Jersey in the building, you know what it is. Next time we're going to hear a little jersey club, too.
