What's up, Chris? You're a bedroom DJ, but it means something different for you. It's like a completely sexual and non musical thing. I listen, I I got I fucking sincerely hope you're not going to continue doing that. We wrote the episode. I I'm excited for this one. I I've not I'm not a DJ guy, but I know some DJ guys. I'm into music like most people. So yeah,

I'm excited to learn a little bit about DJ guys here. We we brought a guest on that has DJed a little bit not a ton. But also he is the he runs the Hell World newsletter and it is Luke O'Neill. What's up, Luke? Hey guys, how's it going? Great. So you used to DJ like an emo night. That's we did. Emo night Boston for I did it for like six years. Okay, so for for a while. Yeah. And I finally stopped because I

realized I was 45 years old. and I'm in the same place. No, it was, it was, uh, I mean, honestly, it was because we moved up to the suburbs and it was a pain in the ass getting into the city and staying out late and stuff like that, but I guess that's part of being old too, you know, it's hard to be in a DJ, but there's all kinds of different DJs. That's something that I know because I'm kind of a DJ Yeah, what kind? he's

My wife in the car and sometimes like I've said this from day one If somebody said Brian come DJ a night at a club, I'd do it It's actually really fun. I mean just to to be clear about a fake as a fake DJ, you know, just playing songs, not mixing anything or anything like real DJs do. But there is, I mean, it's fun to play songs for a room full of people who are dancing and singing. And you know, I can definitely see the appeal of why people really get into it for their life. Yeah, like that may it does make sense. Because kind of like, boom, you play a song and you get a huge reaction. People are like, Oh, shit. And you're like, Oh, I've picked a good song. Right? Like I've succeeded. I haven't like I'm not performing the

song or whatever. And doing that side. But I've picked a good one, at least. Now, Brian, you famously fucked up your only experience as a DJ was a huge, like colossal issue that caused big problems within your family. I've got to Chris, my audacity is recording your audio. So okay, whatever. That's yeah, I'm sorry. I don't even know what happened. I don't know what even happened. Now. This is a tech. It's known as I guess that would be, I mean, it's a technical club. Yeah. OK, so I have DJed once, but everybody's heard that experience.

I did a really great job and for a bunch of ungrateful people. And that was that was my time. And most people, most geniuses aren't even recognized in their time. I'm sure if I went and played the same songs at a wedding now, they would love it. No dance floor be hopping. Just to be clear, Louie ruined his sister's wedding. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just want to tell the whole story again, you know, but he basically just that that's like the Coles notes of it. He ruined his sister's wedding by playing like a bunch of like

Limp biscuit and shit. I was gonna say did you play too much new metal? Exclusively, I think he played Soft songs that was the thing that pissed me off. So what happens is i'm playing these i'm playing like rearranged You know what? I mean, that's like a heavy song. Nobody that song. Everybody. That's like one of their biggest hits, Chris. So one of who's biscuit biscuit. Yeah. No, I like soft death tone songs and stuff like that. I'm thinking I'm setting a romantic mood even for a wedding. Yeah. Yeah. And then my sister gets mad and says, can you play something normal? So I got mad and I said, fuck this. You asked me to DJ.

Now I'm just going to play her wedding day at her wedding. I said, fuck, I just want to be clear. This is her most important day of her life. This is like such a big moment. And he's like, fuck you. You fucking told me to DJ. And this is what you get, you know, like, well, no. And so I played Beatles number ones after that and just walked away. I just put

that like a petulant child. First of all, I just want to say you sound like a great brother. Oh, I am. Yeah, I know. Yeah, this was a different time in his life. I think he's this was a different time when he was sort of, I guess, on pills. I was on a lot of pills at the time. That's true. Yeah, not that I mean, the good ones. So anyway, I guess, on pills. I was on a lot of pills at the time. That's true. Yeah. I mean, the good ones. So anyway, I do have an experience with a DJ, actually, that I think is going to really work well coming

into this episode, because there's going to be a lot of talk about a certain thing. The first live gig I ever did in my life was a DJ got a hold of us on our own on Street Fight. A DJ got a hold of us and was like, would you guys want to come and D like MC a night? So you come up on stage, you do about 10 minutes and then they DJs play music. Then you come back up in between them. You're the master of ceremonies. Yeah. Never do that.

By the way, everybody just wants music. They are not interested in you at all. But we did it. And all my friends were there because this is the first live gig ever. Right. And they're like the DJ. One of the DJs comes up and he's only playing industrial music. And like I'm talking like ministry and Dresden dolls and stuff like that. And people are going up to him and saying, Hey, can

you play something that like maybe we could dance to and he says no and gets mad at him and just keeps artists. It sounds like he's a true artist. You know what I mean? Like he's not gonna bend it that he for a true artist. You know what I mean? Like he's not gonna bend it to the for a bunch of you know, people who have no nothing about music, and just want to dance around like clowns. There's a fine line though, between like, you know, like we were just saying how it's cool to drop a song and watch people get excited. Like people will get fucking pissed off at you. Like, if you're if you're not playing what they like the people think

that they're the only person in the club. And if you're not playing exactly what they asked you to, like I I actually said the last time I sort of got into a fight was over something like that. Dude, physical, physical, physical fight. Yeah, some dude like just wouldn't let it go. And then, you know, I'm, I'm no sort of hard ass, but next thing I know, I was slapping a man at like, I mean, you, I don't know you that well, but I mean, you look like you're pretty tough and you sound like you're kind of tough.

Like I wouldn't necessarily, I wouldn't pick a fight with you. Probably. Well, thank you. But I, my secret is I have a very bad back. So So you could probably push me over if you try yeah So I'm gonna start this by a question that is answered on many DJ boards something that they're all pondering Constantly and this is from our DJs And it's from Rick so born and he says taking requests

I did my first gig in about a year last venue dried up because of a poor location in town People were afraid of partying on the edge of town and then getting a DUI this This gig was a small upscale bar in town. It went phenomenal. New Year's Eve show. I rocked the house for almost four hours. The owner definitely wants to do it monthly. It was super easy to do.

I hang there every week and know everyone. I know what they play on touch tunes. That's a jukebox. The only downside was at the very, very end of the night, one of the bartenders brought up a group of six girls. They had to hear their favorite artists. It was way out of my format. I knew it might make people aggressive and even get fights to start. I avoided it for an hour, but the owner

insisted I play a few songs by the artists. Sure enough, a fight almost broke out. I think me and the owner are cool with a setting with setting a. I think me and the owner are cool with a setting with setting a format, promoting that format and sticking to that format. No requests ever again. But what do you guys think? So this, so yeah, this does, cause I, you could also, you know, open the door up, you take one and then all of a sudden everyone's sort of the flood gates open and they just, then you're not in control at all. You lose control completely of the gig. So that could be an issue. I, I think, but then also we're all talking about that. You want to give the people what they want. Thank you. But that's only what, as

Luke was saying before, that's only what one person wants. And the people have this attitude like I'm the only one here. What, what if they have terrible taste in music and the thing that they want to hear nobody else wants to hear you know that way I could be Yeah, well that's the thing it depends. And again, I am no expert DJ I feel like I'm sort of what was your name as a DJ? I didn't I did not you gotta have

I did not have one. You gotta have one. You gotta have one. Not if you're playing, like, taking back Sunday songs for 30 year olds trying to... Can we come up with one? Maybe? We'll see. By the end of the episode. And a little bit go out and perform under the name. If someone has a good...

If someone comes up with a good request, that's cool. You're like, oh shit, I didn't think of that. Oh, you know, that would kind of work nice right now, you know? But if, you know, you're, if you're at, you know, fucking like a electronic night and some girls come up asking for Taylor Swift or something, that's not going to work. You know? That's true. I mean, but I think like, I guess in my mind, I'm thinking of a DJ in a different

way where it's like, okay, I have the if their plan is inflexible, which will read a few DJs that talk about how their plan is very, they're, they just have a very unflexible plan that seems weird. Like you can't go out and do comedy and not be flexible. You know what I mean? You kind of can. You kind of can. As someone, I don't talk about it, but I did stand up and then that whole thing that I did. And, and, but you can kind of go out with a plan in comedy and just stick to it. You know what I mean? You can like slightly be like, it's very, you don't get

heckled that often. And, you know, sometimes you have to roll with it or whatever. But there's a lot of comedians who go out there and they're like, this is their act and they have it and you can go watch them and they will do it like to the T, you know, but I guess it's like, yeah, like you should be able to change it up. And it's probably better to change it up sometimes, you know, like more rewarding. As far as I understand, like, if we're talking about like these real

DJs who are our sort of artists, you know, in a way, like, I respect artists mostly. So those are the ones I love the ones who are like, serious artists. Well, I'm sure like they, I think you have to do a lot of planning goes, you know, goes into to I can't believe you guys are making me respect DJ so much. Oh, there's some fantastic. There's some fantastic ones. Yeah, we're gonna get to some ones that we can goof about for real. Here's the answer to the question of requests. Peter the DJ. So we know he's a DJ.

Here's the thing. Requests are requests, not orders, not mandates. The dictionary definition of requests. And thank you. Thank you. I was waiting. I was wondering if anyone is going to do that because I wasn't. I forgot what it even means.

I was like, okay. Yeah. Yeah. The dictionary definition of requests, an act of asking politely or formally for something what it even means. I was like, okay, yeah, yeah. The dictionary definition of requests and active asking politely or formally for something. And you can politely or formally say, no, I prefer taking requests because you never know when someone might have a good one and you may have overlooked. You can always say no, or if you don't have the guts to tell people, no,

you can always make up something like that's great but I already have a full request list to get through or the even more vague I'll see what I can do line but in the end sure it's tough to say no to an owner if the owner tells you to play something and a fight breaks out that's on them not you sounds like you did your best by holding off on that request as long as you possibly could. So they don't like requests. That's one thing. But there are several different kinds of DJ and we're going to kind of scatter shot hit

a bunch of different types. And right now we're talking club DJs. I actually here's a here's a club DJ that has a problem okay now I'm jade addiction oh ayay is his name he goes my wife ripped it me roped me into a middle school dance gig help now I'm not gonna be able to vibe with his like extreme, you know, fucking hardcore DJ vibe. I don't think it's gonna work. It sounds like it does. Now I've DJed a fair amount of weddings. So I know what kinds of music middle school kids want to hear. What do you mean?

Weddings? Well, they are at weddings. They're not. They're not. They don't make up like the majority of the audience. And that's who you're going to want to cater your playlist to probably. Right? Yeah. My main concern is that the principal just said no drugs, sex or violence when it comes to the music. I'm thinking almost every pop song in the last 60 years falls into those categories. I don't think that's true. I don't either. I know. I think it's true. I'm going to disagree. And violence, but like, like Taylor Swift is talking about drug sex and violence, because those are the most popular songs. I think she's talking about like, other stuff than that. I don't know. Pitbull too. Pitbull.

Did you guys see that video? What was it? The Jimmy Buffett concert tribute? And it was all these people on stage like Paul McCartney and Dave Grohl and all these like Harrison Ford for some reason, like all these superstars and someone posted a clip of it there. You're going across and you're like, holy shit, they're there, they're there. And then the person at the end is Pitbull and he he's just like, of course, people would be there

at the Jimmy Buffett Memorial concert. Pit bull is a legend. He goes, I know radio edits exist, but those just censor words. They don't change the theme of the song. LOL example, wet and gushy. Anybody have any advice? Don't play that.

Yeah. I would say don't play that song. You know, like just, you know, use your, that one's a bit, yeah, I'm not a prude, but that one's a little bit crass. Even the white ass pussy. Yeah. The wet ass pussy. I don't think you should play that song at the middle school. My daughter listened to it when she was pretty young. Yeah, you probably shouldn't play it at a middle school. My daughter listened to it when she was pretty young. Yeah. You probably shouldn't play it at a middle school, but I mean, kids obviously listen to it, but I still think you shouldn't put it on your playlist. You know, probably not. This guy

says, uh, just play radio at it's a top 40. It's easier to identify the ones to avoid than the ones to play. Don't play WAP anyway. Dua Lipa, Sean Mendes, etc. will be fine and then we get a response that says this. There's nothing that will be considered clean enough in modern music as long as f-words and drugs are bleeped or removed. You should be good. Also, and this is where he makes a mistake, electronic pop stuff is decent a lot of the time. Avicii levels type music. Hip hop is the most dangerous. Honestly, a censored version of a mumble rapper. No one understands the context anyways. You should be able to get away with it.

Oh, throwing it. That's a little bit of a dig at mumble rap. Don't kid yourself. That's an insult to mumble rappers saying like, I can't even fucking understand what these guys are saying anyway. what are you doing? Oh, I got this butterfly knife comb and the PO. Wow. What the hell? Nice for the beard. He's combing his. That's what? Yeah, you got to comb your beard. So you guys please stop sending him things that you know he's going to bring out on the pie. I feel like they're doing that on purpose. They're sending the fake time. Now, this is what bothers me about it. Okay, Luke, I'm going to talk about it because I get a little annoyed when he does

this. He has a fake thumb that he wears a magic thumb and then he has now he's stabbed through it. I appreciate that Brian, because I was just going to say the thing that I really don't like about them is he doesn't change what he does with these things at all. He'll pull them out and he'll just waggle around the tongue and he'll move around his thumb. He never deviates from

that. He never does anything new. That was the first time he's ever done something new. There's the thumb is so on him. He's like, he's like the comedian we were just talking about who can't, you know, deviate from his totally he's stuck my track. You can't tell comedian or you can't tell magicians which tricks to do. You know, they got a certain amount of tricks and that's what they do. And I'm going to even acknowledge the thumb because it's so unimpressive. He's the first person who gave an honest response to real. So anyway, mad Mennonite says,ite says school dances. This freaks of something.

This guy, this guy had a really bad time. I'm just gonna tell you. Yeah, kids will verbally abuse you if you play kids. They're not anymore. They will want to swear to the songs that are censored. Oh, yeah, they want to swear to them. No, no, no, no, no, no, kids. I know one thing. I have a young, young kid. no, no, no, kids. I know one thing.

I have a young, young kid, Brian. You have a teenager, but I know kids are all they love to swear to a song. They'll just swear to the censored parts anyway. And here comes the worst. Some really bad advice. He goes, just avoid playing many a track that invites that sing along. The principle is just making a vague cover your ass statement. So now he's the print. It's informal. The

principal doesn't really care what you play. He's saying so that he doesn't get into. He's just saying it because he has to say it pretty much play what you want. School admins who are out of touch all say the same things like that. They won't be there vetting every song you play. This is such a bad advice. I can't. This is some of the worst advice I've seen. It will only be an issue if the kids escalate things and you encourage. I swear this guy's had a disastrous middle school dance here that he did.

I guess that's just like part of it. And I guess they need that. But yeah, it does feel like it would be a little bit soul sucking. It depends on what you're trying to do. But if you really wanted to be a DJ, you know what I mean? Doing an event like that. I don't know. It'd be kind of hard. I gotta say that's most DJs though. I mean, 90% of DJs are doing like, like maybe small clubs. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. At least adults though, right? Like at least performing to adults. I don't know. I think it's like similar, you know, I've played in bands for many years and I think it's probably similar to that. It I played in bands for many years. And I think it's probably similar to that. Like sometimes you take a gig, just because you need the money. And sometimes you take a gig because it's cool. And you want to do it. And you know, it's like anything else,

you know, any type of self employed person, you know, like, back when I was freelance journalist, like, you know, sometimes they go, this is a a cool story and sometimes you write the stupidest fucking story you've ever heard of in your life you know yeah i needed we needed the 300 bucks or whatever it was you know yeah we recently talked to maybe on the patreon or maybe uh it might have actually been on the main feed but i did a gig in vegas that sold eight tickets oh boy new for a fact that we weren't going to sell any fucking tickets in Las Vegas. Like I don't even know who lives in Las Vegas, but I'm guessing not a ton of socialists when we were doing the anarchist podcast. So it was crazy. He goes, uh, they won't be there vetting every song you play at all. Okay. So escalate things. You can either be a Dick and be literal

with that statement he gave, or just take it in stride and play radio edits. We always reminded the school's admins that all of our music was from a professional record pool. We had promo only and all of it was edited for radio airplay. But don't just go playing nothing but mumble rap based on that. Just play a good mix of current hits, which they won't really dance to because current tracks really aren't danceable

and line dances so that the kids can be interactive. Sometimes the schools have a few throwbacks that go over well. So that was, that was, so Blaise Zoot's Toot Toot says, what a shitty out of touch principle, Jesus Christ. Oh yeah. Fuck authority, bro. I'm a big fuck authority guy, but as a parent who raised a kid, other people's parents are fucking terrible. They're just the worst. And guys I grew up with, man, they play,

they have a DJ play music at football games at the old high school I went to. And when I was still on Facebook, like guys that I grew up with that listen to fucking cannibal corpse were pissed because they were playing dirty rap music, radio edits of rap music at this thing. So like I wouldn't take the gig. I think they should just get cover bands in there. And we got to be careful now because you know, when we were younger,

some parent might get mad about some sort of explicit hip hop song or something at the dance. But now it's like, they're gonna, you know, Fox News and the New York Post are gonna descend. Yeah. This school, they're gonna call you fucking groomer for playing a song with the you know, any implications are Yeah, the potential Yeah, it's a little bit different these days. It's true. Rick Oh, seven nine says my thoughts exactly. What does he think that hearing some guy or

gal vaguely sing about anything related to that once is going to make them do any of it at least more than they already would. And then this next guy goes, Oh, we have Karen's where I live by the, by the Chardonnay brunch boatload. And ultimately I've learned what it boils down to is there are kids who, who actually there are kids dancing or listening to what they actually like just reminds them their kids are no longer their quote kids and they are now officially old and in many ways no longer in control or needed. So that's pretty deep. So it's like he's saying that they have an issue. He might be right. I don't know. I'm not smart enough to know. They do

kind of have a point because you know when of have a point because, you know, when I was young, I think it was music that probably turned me into a sex pervert, you know, listening. I was probably more like music videos though, like some of those early Madonna videos or something. That's just like, boom, puberty unlocked. Let's go. You know, Ryan, what, what turned you into one? Nothing.

I never was turned into one, but I did do drugs because of or I did like my house on fire because of Beavis and butthead. So that was I jumped off my roof and stuff because you know, because of Jack. Yeah, we did that too. I did a bunch of Jack as stuff. Yeah. Here's a club DJ with a problem. Personal one here. How do you deal with bringing your spouse to gigs? Oh, I would say, I would say that's a big avoid. You're going to want to avoid that. Right? Just made a cool gig. Thought it'd be good chance to bring my girlfriend along. She hated the vibe, almost cried and hated watching girls come up to me ended up having to make the Irish

exit at the end and take her home. Any tips for how to balance this kind of lifestyle? Just don't bring your girlfriend to gigs if she doesn't want to come like people, people go to work and then they oftentimes have to go to work and they can't bring your spouse to every job. So it honestly, it honestly to me feels like some of these guys just want to talk about how girls come up to them. You know, and if yeah, if girls are coming up to you and that's like a part of it or whatever, why would you bring your girl to that? Like, you know what I mean? Like if she's going to be jealous over that, I don't know. I, it just seems

like a bad idea overall. And it's easily easily avoidable. Like, it's not really a question. Just don't bring her. It really depends on you know, what whether it's a new relationship or an old one. Because like, you know, I'm sure you guys know that your your significant other or whatever they might be interested in your stuff when you first together. But then after a while it's like, I'm not going to look at this dude.

Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What? Like this, this partner that he has is either at that point or is just not into it to begin with, you know, but in my life listens to the show,

I'm always surprised that walk in the house and I hear me and Chris talking and I'm like, Oh, well, she's listening. She likes it. But I think there are times where she goes months and months without hearing it because and this is a new podcast to sorry, Ariel listens to it. My my partner, she listens to Ariel. This is so this guy says Hello, hello to Ariel's. Yeah. Hi, Katie. This is a this guy. It's not her name. It's my wife. I'm saying hi to her. Okay. There's not a chance in hell my wife's gonna listen to this. So you're not gonna give you know, we're pretty good boyfriends. We play techno says get a new

girlfriend and Mad Coyne says this is what I had to do. First was very insecure and angry. Now I have a cool girlfriend who helps me set up and even does a bit of DJing herself. She also flirts with any girls that approach lol. So we might be having somebody headed for the lifestyle headed for sounds like they're already there. Well, we get some lifestyle like talking this he goes, I would say I would say in the DJ community, it's not lifestyle. But it's like, because there's a lot of drugs. Like I don't if

you're in the club DJ lifestyle, I don't think I'm, you know, telling any tales here to say that there's a lot a lot of a lot of them are taking a lot of drugs and a lifestyle. And yeah, and like just like having a lot of like sex and stuff, you know what I mean? Like just like sort of debaucherous kind of shit, like I think kind of comes hand in hand with that you're like dancing and you're all sweaty and you're maybe on MDMA or whatever. So there's I think there's probably a bit of an overlap between these people and you know, sex people. Here's a real Tom here. He goes,

I'll sit back and watch dudes hit on my girlfriend cause I know she's hot and that's her problem. Not mine. Well, not, not for now. It's not, you know, this guy goes, Oh man, I feel this LOL. You should see my wife when the go-go girls are on stage. I feel like one of those racing horses with blinders on. So this guy's saying don't look at you can't look at anybody but your wife. Yeah, you gotta keep staring directly forward at the wife. You can't even look up. Yeah, that's classic. I think these dudes should set up like a little booth right in front of the DJ booth where their wife sits there and they just stare each other in the eyes the entire time.

Have your wife run the photo booth. Yeah right then get her involved in some way. Yeah give her a job. Yeah have your wife do a job. Yeah have her do a job and be like directly involved in like the business and stuff that's can never go awry. Well here's a here's a problem and this is from the DJ forum the largest DJ forum we have moved away from Reddit we're gonna look at one of the larger DJ forums and this guy goes today's music sucks for dancing. Oh we've heard that before already someone else mentioned well this guy is a different reason. What happened to the good old days when hit song after hit song had either a really good fast or slow dance beat? With too few exceptions today's music is too slow too fast dance and too fast to slow dance

Maybe I'm getting old well I am getting old but that doesn't change the fact that it is becoming harder and harder to find a consistent supply of current mainstream popular songs that I can pop on at a wedding that everyone knows and everyone can easily dance to So this is an old guy thing to say for sure. Yeah Definitely. I think there's like Maybe I guess I'm sure there's there's just so much music being made, of course, today. That I'm sure you could, if you really went out and looked for it, he could find the music he's looking for.

Like the kind of, but also, yeah, he's just getting old as well, I think, and hates new music like just a classic old guy does. I did find myself, I did catch myself when my daughter was young, kind of being like these fucking kids don't know anything about distorted guitar. Like they just they don't nothing. It's all clean guitar. And it drives me fucking crazy. Because everything that I listened to had distorted like fucking loud guitar and I'm so bummed. But then I was like, that's just old guy shit.

You know, like, there's a fine line you like, I never, you know, I made a concerted effort to never be the back back in the day, dude, you know, like, like everything was better, you know, in my day, because there, there is tons of great stuff still being made by young people. It's just, you know, you have to look for it a little you have to, you know, put a little more effort

into it. That said, that doesn't mean like there's plenty of new stuff that fucking sucks anyways. And it's okay to say that when it it just can't you just can't think it sucks because you're old, you know, it has to be that it sucks because it sucks. I also got to say that like like kids and my daughter and her friends like They have a different philosophy when it comes to music and and their their tastes are

Everywhere, you know what? I mean, like my daughter listens to like Mazzy star and fucking hip-hop from when she was growing up and fucking like any kind of music because they have access to all of the recorded music and history. I mean she'll listen to like Neil Young and boy genius and fucking, you know, whatever rap is going on now. I don't even know any other rap because I haven't checked in a while and that sounded really old.

This guy goes kids have been shuffling the hardcore and drum and bass since the 1990s. It has remained popular because so many exercise classes like the dance style, because it burns a lot of calories. Just play oldies for the old people to dance to. If you have a crowd that doesn't have any healthy people, they're probably won't be shuffling on the dance floor anyway. Cutting music is a good genre for people who can't dance. Line dancing is easy for those from eight to eight. What is this line? I mean, I know what line dancing is obviously, but I'm surprised it's come up a couple of times.

All right. Yeah. Wonder where these people are. Yeah. I mean, maybe it's a Texas. Yeah. Maybe there's somewhere in the south or more where it's like, yeah, more prevalent because yeah, that was I mean, we did line dancing weirdly. I'm in Canada and we did line dancing in school. We did in PE class. We did like full line and like, you know, like all that shit. That's square dancing. Oh, that's square dancing. So we also did line dancing. Yeah, we did. We did. We did. We did. Yeah, we did all of that stuff, which is kind of a little bit strange in hindsight. But

yeah, I guess maybe there's, yeah, maybe it's like a thing. I think it's weird in Vancouver to do line dancing. We did it here, but we're based down the border at the South and shit. Uh, this guy hanging on says the problem is that real dancing, which can probably be best described as choreography between two or more people is becoming a lost art. Jumping up and down one hand in the air, a phone or drink in the other is not dancing. Oh, sorry. Sorry everybody listening. You guys, a lot of you guys just were told and you have to rethink your views on on your own dancing. Put the goddamn phones down the phones and you're a kid and your phones and also you're like a zombie when you have that phone as well.

That's as far as I'm concerned. It's like the zombie apocalypse. Listen, I get the thing where people are like, why are you taking video of this? Are you ever going to watch it again? Right? Yeah. Yeah. No, I definitely understand that. But they also understand the taking of the video because in the moment it like feels like you are going to want to watch it again sometimes, you know? So I see that side of it. But yeah, it feels like, like I did it a few times and then I sort of was like, Oh, I didn't get the reward I was looking for. I never went back and watched any of these. So then I kind of just stopped doing it, you know?

Well, Windows 95 comes in and says, so you consider the hokey pokey, the macarena and the chicken dance as real dancing and tap dancing, shuffling, clogging and ballet as not real dancing. Let me guess you're a paid professional dancer. Oh my God. These dudes are coming in. This is getting a little hot. Yeah. Every one of their threads gets hot. Luke, they are very argumentative. I mean, that's a pretty standard on these message boards and stuff. I guess that's what people go on there to do, but sometimes they do it. We've definitely dealt with, I can't think of one off the top of my head, but we've dealt with like groups of people, groups of guys who they're more, there's, they're kinder, you know what I mean? Like in their disagreements and

stuff, they're less aggressive. Some groups than others. Yeah. This is a pretty aggressive group. I would say. Yeah. It's like, cause when I was a kid, when I went to a wedding receptions, the dance floor would pack with older people whenever a big band song plays. dance floor would pack with older people whenever a big band song plays. Okay. How old? Because they were in the ballroom dancing. A lot of kids would also dance the swing song since most schools top ballroom dancing and square dancing. They still don't do. I couldn't square dance. I couldn't do one square dance move. I think I don't know. I think you're saying that's the thing I was doing mostly, the square dancing was.

And I'm where you do that. Yeah, the do-si-do-n-shut. I think I could, fucking, I feel like I could bring some back and I could. Like if you threw the song, cause they tell you in the song what to do. But I don't know the moves anymore. I think I do.

I think I remember some of the fucking moves. All right, let's get a video when I come out to Vancouver. We'll get a video of a square dancing. I think if you put me on the spot, and you know, in a life or death situation, I could probably remember all the moves to the hustle and the electric slide. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Those boogie boogie boogie boogie boogie. That's the trouble shit I was on in my day. I'm sorry that song was like a had like a very catchy tune. The hustle, the electric slide,

the hustle. Yeah, both of them were very, very catchy, like very songs that were probably would have been hits on their own without the dances. Yeah, for sure. Here's another very, very catchy, like very songs that were probably would have been hits on their own without the dance. Yeah, for sure. Here's another question that we just heard at a high school or middle school dances. This guy Gallagher again says, uh, Was Gallagher G-A-L-A-G-E-R from Vancouver, actually Washington, though, not British Columbia.

So I hate that. That's one of the things I hate the most when I like find out it's like, Oh, it's, it's happened in Vancouver or something. And I get so excited. You know, you get excited and then it's Washington. Family friendly rap music appropriate for a wedding. Is there such a thing? Full disclosure. I hate rap music.

Always have always will. If a car, I love that's why this might he's got a Marines like avatar picture to this could be my father-in-law. If he was a DJ, if a client wants rap music for their wedding, I don't take the gig. However, that Jesus Christ, you're turning down money. You're just playing other people's songs, but you won't do some, like what, are you like, is he a religious person maybe? Like there's a lot of rappers, play Chance the rapper.

He's like so religious. There's like a lot of rap songs you could play that are like fully religious as well. And like, there's a lot of hip hop that you can play that is fine, you know, that is fine with a radio edit or whatever. There's definitely stuff you can play that is fun, you know that is fine with a radio edit or whatever there's definitely stuff you could play. I'm gonna suggest that there's something deeper going on here for a guy who hates all rap

music. Yeah, I can't quite some of these people might like maybe if they were forced to play rap music they might go with Eminem perhaps. Macklemore. Yeah, we call Nolan's. Anyway, he goes, However, there have been a few times where halfway through the reception, the guests, and sometimes even a Brian groom start requesting a lot of rap. Since I don't know the genre, can somebody give me a list of some classic well known

rap songs that might be acceptable for a wedding that I can have ready for just such a situation. I have some like low and that stupid Apple bottom jeans song, but I need some more things. Brian, well, you can just tell the bride and bride and groom and or groom to just fuck off. Right, Brian? That's that's like if they make a request for you to play a particular thing or not play, you just just tell them to fuck off, right? You could, you could say fuck off or say I got it, you know, coming. So here's a little bit of advice we have here. The most obvious one for me, getting toddlers to grannies up to rap Cypress Hills insane in the brain. Lots of good covers on that tune as well. Cutting out all the questionable words, notably a jump up reggae number

by horsemen. If you're like me and really don't like hardcore rap yet want to keep rap fans happy use a version. So I brought up the version that he shared so that we can insane in the memory. It says, and you can play this at a wedding for people from eight. It doesn't. But it doesn't have the questionable words. I don't. It doesn't. And you might even think that people would be so excited to hear this. All right. Yeah, I'm going down. I'm interested. I have no idea what the song is. I mean, I didn't mind that at all.

That's pretty good. That's pretty good. I didn't mind it. I think that that would get people going as well. And I think you got to get to the chorus though, and then they would really recognize what it was as well. And there'd be that kind of recognition as well that would be kind of, you know, make people a little more excited.

Let's see. I gotta tell you, if you don't want people getting risque and stuff on the dance floor, then dance hall and reggae and shit like that is not what you want to play because people get horny. People get horny. Have you seen how some of these dudes dance to that stuff? Like doing all these acrobatic tricks and shit? Oh yeah.

Like they slip the girl around. I have I lived in the in the Bahamas for a short time. My mom lived there for a long time. But I lived there for a short time with her and I spent a lot of time there and they played rake and scrape music they have which is like a variation of similar to reggae music. Tell you what, man, I've seen some of the goddamn horniest ever in my life when I was there in the Bahamas, like at the nightclubs there and stuff. Oh, yeah, it would just get like so aggressively sexual on the dance floor.

Okay. Can I make the point though that like, that like he's there are radio edits of this song right you'd probably want to play that over you don't think you'd want to play this because it depends on your audience yeah this is like a cool kind of remix of it or like not a remix of it like a remake of it but yeah if you're playing to like just like a general audience, you're going to want to play the original one that they're going to recognize right away. Is that your point? I think so. And I think you're not getting credit for playing. You can't fucking be like, oh, they asked for rap. So I played this. Well, this isn't I don't trouble with the big four. Oh, I mean this is it is good, but you're right.

It's not. I mean, it's it's you know, it's not hip hop. It's not a hip hop version of it. The first live band I ever saw in my life was called the bellows And it was uh, we had this class in high school called quest and uh, it was basically a guy Teaching you you know what to do if somebody asks you for drugs how to deal in relationships with with girls and stuff like that Which by the way ended up marrying a student the day after she graduated. So he,

it's kind of a weird guy to have, but he's in a rock band. Well, that's that, that makes sense. Yeah. And they were like, was it a pop punk band? Any chance? Cause it was like, I was, I was 12. This was like way like, and I go to this dance, I see this band. They are they're not playing anything that I would ever want to hear. It is like some oldies some originals and it's just like a cover band. I think the guy just wanted to get paid for you know

what I mean? It's a good way to get paid. So he did the gig there and it was like, not great. So there's another kind of DJ not okay. Just let me just say interject real quick so I can talk about how cool I am. One of the first bands I ever saw was Cypress Hill and they were at an opener that day called Rage Against the Machine.

Whoa, yeah, someone 311 open him. Oh, really? So yeah, I was pretty. It was a cyber I saw Cyprus all a bunch of times back in the day. But yeah, this was unfortunately before I smoked weed. So I didn't really even get the full experience. But so it's so cool to have seen them. Let's go to some real deep Steve Aoki. You guys ever heard of Steve Aoki? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He does throw a cake. He does throw cake. And sometimes he doesn't throw cake and that becomes problematic to the be so fucking pissed

if I went to see Steve Aoki and he didn't throw a cake. Here's ticket master reviews. That's right. We're going to the ticket master reviews. Everybody Steve Aoki left granite disappointed two stars. The show started too late. Steve Aoki is great, but there should be an alert that he doesn't come on stage until 12 before you buy the ticket. Yeah, this is just a I mean, yeah, there's an alert.

It's called knowing anything about a concert. You know, it's called going to a musical performance ever once in your life and realizing this is part of the game plan. They get you in the venue. They want you buying drinks. They want you chilling. They want to make money off of it. And then they hold you in there as long as they think they can and they push it pretty far sometimes.

But techno isn't techno supposed to go till two, three, four in the morning. Techno is getting as would be the worst of it. I would say, you know what I mean? Like those types of like DJ performances and stuff I would expect to start the latest. Yeah, it is nice to have a set times if you can get them. That's incredible. You know, if you can, if you, I don't like it. No, you don't like to know when the act. I don't like people knowing.

Oh yeah. No, no. It's, I think it's a bad policy to let people know that stuff. And I know that that comes off like as a, as a performer, I just think it sucks that like sometimes you put together a gig and everybody contacts you and says, so what time are you going on? Yeah. It used to be like that a lot when I was playing shows and bands too. Like you want you put together a show and you want people to come and see all the bands because you think they're cool. You know, you put it together. But but then again now I can see like maybe somebody can't fucking get there until 10 o'clock or something like that. Or, you know,

Yeah, they want to know, are my gonna miss you? Right? You know what I mean? Like, I won't be able to get there until 10 15. Or am I gonna even be able to see you? But yeah, I think there are a lot of people who are like, yo, especially nowadays, like, Hey, can I, what time are you on? And they're going to get there at that time. They're going to watch you. They're going to say, see a great set afterwards. Like man fucking kill that. And then you're never going to see them again. They're going to be back home and fucking 15 minutes. I just hated that. This person with a good name is hopeful for fun is their name. They say late, Steve was not performing by 12am. The event started at nine. I had to leave before they even mentioned he would be starting soon.

So yeah, so they're at nine. Yeah, I think that's probably doors nine. I'm guessing there's probably an opening act that probably came on at 1015, maybe two openers perhaps. I don't know how Steve Aoki runs his shows and stuff, but yeah, I would guess that that's nine o'clock doors and he was probably there a bit early probably would be my guess. Waste of money says Scott two tickets to go into a nightclub for $152. Only reason I paid this much was because Steve Aoki performs cake throwing at the end of every one of his shows.

Come on. They didn't say that. Yeah. I saw during this show, he just said at the end in the middle of a song, my name is Steve Aoki, good night Boston. And then walked off the stage, no refund or partial refund offered. Wait, okay. So if this dude's in Boston. I'll throw a cake in his face for half that price.

Wait a second though. This is what you said. You're like, you'd be so mad if you went to his show and he didn't throw cake. So this is a person who experienced that and it sounds like they are very mad. Well, I mean, I wasn't being sincere. Sounds like they are very mad. Well, I mean, I wasn't being sincere. It's so funny to be like, well, I wouldn't have gone. But they were going to throw a cat me. I paid seventy five dollars

broke a kid. Oh, it didn't happen. I am railbreakers as four stars dance floor, too crowded. An artist was more interested in himself than the music, it seemed. But the energy was good. And if you could dance, you had a good time. So that sounds like a pretty standard review for a DJ. Here's a one star says this was the worst show I've ever attended. I paid for the early entry in buffet

at this buffet was this in Vegas yeah why is there a buffet at the Steve Aoki show I think the last thing you want to do before going to dance for three hours or piling on the fucking crab legs and shit. You know, six pork cutlets. There is a club. It's one of the longest running clubs in the United States called the Newport music hall here. And we figured out after a while, it wasn't like a mystery that you could buy pre show passes where you get to come in early and you get a hot dog and a Coke and so broke at the time and they costed 299. So you got $3 on top of this ticket, which at the time was probably like 16 $17.

We bought them every fucking time. And every fucking time I ate that hot dog and got the worst heartburn of my life and then mosh to like corner death. It was just miserable. And I was like, why am I eating this hot dog? And then you know, ordering sex on the beach at the bar. Like I was just a menace. Ordered sex on the I told you that. Oh, yeah. I would go to bars. And then also, yeah, you, I mean, you obviously, you had used to have jello shots. Yeah. They don't sell those purple. Is that how you got into drinking? Like you really like had to try the

sweet bullshitty stuff and yeah. Yeah. That was me too, but that was, you know, you can get past it. I could me I went straight into I went straight into the heavy duty swill I was drinking. I'm not joking. I was drinking straight up like vodka. And I was drinking just like disgusting beer like wild cad and like, you know, 40 ounces of like, you know, just the nastiest malt liquor and stuff like that. That was my entry point into drinking. I did Mad Jack. It was called Mad Jack was like my drink of choice when I was growing up. Weird color

or something. Yeah, it's Yukon Jack but tastes like black licorice. I like to wait I would like to the you know, Jack Daniels or something that was like, but I would just drink beer a lot of most of the time. No, I used to drink a lot of beer when I'd go to tons of shows, but now I'm getting sleepy. Yeah, I don't drink anything anymore. Your eyes are sober now? Yeah, I'm not sober.

My laugh, by the way, was not for me. It was for Brian. No, I just crossed the border to try to buy illegal Xanax. Yeah. So the audience knows that he's no, but you are fairly sober. And I'm I'm I mean, I take weed products and that's that's the only stuff I do. So this next line is a classic guy's mistake. The buffet claimed to have many vegetarian and vegan options. And for $25, I expected at least halfway decent food. I don't know why you would expect that for buddy. Why would you? I don't know why you would ever even go to entertain the idea of going to the Steve Aoki buffet. Are you sure this is for the

Steve Aoki show? It is it is it is because because I expected at least halfway decent food. The food was cold. First of all, and the available options were a plastic rack plate of cheap salad with only fast food pack of ranch dressing on the side and a plastic wrapped plate of cheap burger, a cheap hot dog and cheap beans. Again, again. eating beans at the club. I got a line dude like dollars for cold cheap beans. Again, all cold while we were eating. We got to enjoy music for three to five minutes at a time before it died.

Repeatedly, we got to enjoy the company of a security guard from the venue who watched us to make sure we didn't leave the designated outside eating area. He was the most enjoyable part of the experience. Unfortunately, he was the venue's employee and therefore I can give no positive review for this experience on behalf of Steve Aoki and his team. So that was a ripoff. It was a show. Not even he's still reviewing the buffet. Never mentioned the show. Hey, take the L on the but hey, I fucked up. I paid 25 for this buffet and it's shit. Let's

get into the show and enjoy it. You know what I mean? Like we've all we've all sunk $25 on some shit that didn't work out. You know, it's not, but there's more. He goes, my friend and I ended up leaving the show about 15 minutes into the set as an active festival and show attendee. I can honestly say this was the worst crowd I've ever experienced. The lack of crowd etiquette and just simple human decency was appalling. The one good thing about this event was the team who actually worked for the venue. I've been to this venue previously for shows and I've always had a great time. This show was a huge letdown and an even bigger waste of

money. So he only stayed for 15 minutes anyway. You can't judge a show based on 15 minutes, the first 15 minutes of it. That's like not fair. You can't be like, Oh, I this fucking movie socks, but you only watch 15 minutes of the movie. That's not fair. You know, you got to give it at least like half the show, I feel like. So we got all kinds of DJs. And then there's one kind of DJ that we haven't done yet. We're gonna Go out on top with strip club DJs These are see these in my head are like I I know them from the movies Brian would know them more from like he'd be he'd experience I

Barely come on I used to have a local he used to have a local Yes his local Come on. I used to have a local. We used to have a local. And that called him. Yes, his local sin. Bad. This is local that he would go to. Right. Hey, Brian, how's it going? You know, I didn't say, hey, Brian, I was. They didn't give a shit about me. It was just a nice little bar to go sit at, you know.

Yeah. This guy goes doing a trial run at a strip club tomorrow. I'm normally a mobile DJ doing 99% weddings and corporate gigs, but this opportunity has presented itself right at the end of my wedding season. And it seems like a great way to keep some money flowing during the off season. I'm wondering if there are any quote golden rules of strip club DJs I should be aware of as far as I know, the girls choose their music and there's basically zero mixing as part of the job. But don't know much beyond that. Any tips to

help me feel like less of a deer in the headlights and make a good impression? SYNDUSTRY8, who I believe is going to give some of the worst advice anybody's ever heard and then get yelled at by the rest of the subreddit. SYNDUSTRY, Okay. Interesting name. Don't talk over their music unless it's absolutely necessary. Look at their eyes, not their stuff. If they ask you a question, be honest. Does this look good? Better be answered honestly. If she doesn't look good, you don't make money. Point out obvious flaws that could impact business. Yes. If you notice, come on, I mean, I'm using just on your nipple. Yeah, that's a cool thing to do. I think especially as like a first timer, right? You just kind of walk through the door and say, well, your boobs is sagging too much. I don't like her ass. I think that should

go over very well. Start a playlist for each girl. Take your own microphone. Don't flirt or play games. It gets around fast. Always pass on the first round of party favors. Don't let anyone know your business. Just keep your mouth shut and eyes and ears open. If your state allows you, stay strapped or get a clap source. 33 years in nightclubs and strip clubs. 10 years, Hawaii theater gentlemen's club, 12 years, tropical lace showgirls and Southern California's premium clubs, just to name a few. That's the worst.

He's saying you bring a gun. Yes, he did say one of the pieces of advice was to bring a concealed firearm to help people that fall. You're smart to have the gun if you are going to be talking shit on everyone. Sure. So I like woman responds to this. But a stripper, a dancer. My name is Fun Times with Samantha. And she goes, LOL, tell them their flaws. Grim Club, it's not your job to critique the girls.

Be polite, have empathy and play the music. Keep the chatter in the mic to a minimum. No one wants to hear a guy talking nonstop while getting a lap dance. Now that's advice. That's good advice. Practice advice. People you keep the talking to a minimum only what you need to say and just keep it professional. You're there to play the music. That's it. It's not about you. It's about obviously, it's about the exotic dancers who people are there to watch and get horny for, you know? Well, I don't know if everybody's just getting super horny there. It's pretty hard to get horny at a strip club. But like you're building up horniness

for later, right? See, I'm trying to think I only when I haven't been in a long time, like since I was very late teen, like 1920 type of thing. But I like what's the reason for going to look at the girls and dance? So you're gonna make it. You get horny later or something for it. I don't think so. Horniness to it. Horny thing, right? That's the horny thing.

When you dances are horny. Sure, I can see that hornyness involved. But but you're just sitting there looking I don't know it's just being that a weird different type of vibe of a place. I mean, I've been to a few I'm not an expert of certainly. There's only one person on this panel that could, you know, do a fucking TED talk on this. I couldn't. DJ Varger says, I think you can give constructive advice without being mean. If a girl is wearing something that doesn't fit her properly, or as I'm flattering, you can make suggestions without being negative. Same thing if she has something tied weird or has a piece of tissue stuck to her ass.

Issues I think she has tissue on her ass. You can tell her. I think it just sounds like a citizen to citizen thing we're kind of allowed to do. Otherwise, a lot of the stuff I think where you're like commenting on something they were wearing or something about their physical appearance or whatever. I think that's like you have to have some type of rapport with the the person, some type of an established relationship in my opinion. Otherwise, it can it can be a little bit like jarring if some basic stranger comes up and starts giving you that type of advice. And the guy goes now to be fair, that's more for the house mom to deal with. But giving an opinion when asked is fun. So there is

somebody there. Yeah, to handle that. Then dazzling. I says, you do know there's multiple women at strip clubs, right? Not one. So now we're combative again. We're in the combative mode. And then full inskey says, after reading this rock solid advice from 30 plus years of experience, that's your response. It doesn't even make sense. It was never implied that there's only one woman in a strip club. And this guy, this, this, this guy is like, he literally came to his computer, he posted that thing and he was just like, all right, I'm going to lay down some advice for everyone. And he came back to his computer expecting them to be like a thousand up votes on it. He expected them to be fucking you know, trying to

admin them and everything. And he came there and he was shocked to see like, what the fuck? This is a guy with a great quote. He goes, Oh, well, because this doesn't sound like a big city strip club. There's probably like 15 girls at the strip club I go to at once. So now he's like that your strip clubs aren't big city. So don't worry about that. And then character comedian says one year in the late eighties,

create a persona for every girl, ask them where they are from, win any contest. I would make stuff up stuff up, always trying to be funny. And he goes all the way from Vancouver, BC, an original signer of the declaration of independence, able to recite pie to 40 digits and winner of best elbows. Wait, is that really what it says? Vancouver mentions, yeah,

you don't even understand how fucked up that is because I have mentioned it I think on here before, but I memorized Pi to a hundred decimal places for money when I was in high school and I still have it to over 40 decimal places now. Wow. Isn't that fucking weird that that happens to be Vancouver? I'm going to say 3.1415926535897. Cut it out. 6433832795028841971. That's pie to the 70th decimal place or something. Sorry, I just find that bizarre.

What was the bit about signing the Declaration of Independence? That I don't know, because there was just a bit of a humor, a little random. It was all random humor. It just happened that two of the random things hit directly on me. Directly on you.

Yeah. Ebrion says that one, the strippers are your coworkers and will never be anything more full stop. No exceptions. There are Fall in love. That's true. Hey, you know, there are I know it's maybe there's like policies and workplace stuff and that can be important, but it doesn't seem like there's a power imbalance there. Do you know what I mean? It seems like a why, why couldn't they fall in love and have a beautiful life together?

Well, this little bit of advice, he goes, there are good ones, but in general, the owners of strip clubs are some of the sleaziest pikers on the planet. And when you look for any way to walk all over you, if you let them get everything in writing and have a gun. And most clubs, no, I said, I said, in most clubs, you're also the MC. So you need to be comfortable with bantering. But once she starts dancing, keep your mouth shut until she's done. And then for British for sure, by the way, and then this guy says seeing the parade of sad men at strip clubs can be very, very depressing. Don't let them suck your energy. So maybe the guys at the club are going to suck your energy. So wait a second, you can't let the patrons suck your energy can't let the strippers suck

your car. And you got to and you got to wait, you got to politely decline the first offering of Coke for some reason. I didn't understand that. That's like some movies shit you know what I mean? Like that it's like it I don't know. Yeah why would you is it a joke? Is it a reference that we're not getting? All right. Here we go. Now we're going to get to the humor, the humor section. Don't be shy. Put some money on that thigh. Throw a tip on that hip slap some cash on that ass. Here comes destiny for two rounds, two chances, reaching those pockets for those dollar rockets, grab

a seat by the stage and tip that sexy lady. So this is what I think of from the movies. Like you know what I mean? This is what I think of a strip club DJ. Here's more. Somebody asked for these. Okay. So they say need DJ catchphrases recently got promoted to backup DJ since our record just happened. Congratulations. No, honestly, that's very cool. I didn't know that was a position. I didn't know backup DJ was a position. I think you were called DJ. What do you want to like, I don't know.

I would feel like you might want to go somewhere where you could get that starting job. Well, there's so much apparently there's so much gun play involved in the DJ world. Maybe they're, you know, maybe it's just smart planning to have someone standing by. Absolutely. There's a good chance that the DJ will will be shot and killed. There's like, I've read a study once that like strip club DJ is one of those like the third most dangerous job in the world besides like loggers and our brave boys in blue, by the way. Brave boys in blue who often end up in, you know, shootouts strip club with a DJ anyways. And then all of a sudden now you've lost two of the three.

That's right. That's right. He goes, in need of a cleverish intro or intro announcement for girls i have a short list but they're getting repeated and get so stale just using the basic here's track one with x she's now available for private one-on-one dances thank you which is what i would do if i was a strip club dj just go bare bones yeah yeah i think that's what people, I don't think people are excited to hear the banter. Yeah. Nobody wants, nobody wants,

you know, yeah. And you don't want to go on for, I think like you could throw a little of your sauce on it, but you don't want to go on, you know, whatever you're saying, you want it to be contract. You want it to be like straight to the point, but I think you can throw a bit of your, a bit of your own stink on it a little bit. you know, like you get a little persona going on. Yeah. Don't give yourself a personal, you get a persona and you pepper, you pepper Luke's right. You put a little pepper on there. You know, you spice it up just a little bit. And all of a sudden they say like, Hey, I'm still horny. I'm horny for the girls. And we know it's about the girls. But that guy was pretty cool. The guy, you know,

he was cool. You know, Pepper Pete, maybe my name is Pepper Pete. You know, I got the I you know what we said we were gonna find me a DJ name by the end of the pod. Yeah, maybe that's it. F or P. We went to when we were touring, we toured, we did Atlanta during the DSA convention. And we had the Trillbillies opening for us and the district Sentinel guys open for us. And we were all in Atlanta. And we went to this place called the Claremont

Lounge, which is a strip club. But like, Yeah, yeah, it's a people have always told me to go there. It's like kind of notorious. Brian Brian's like, Brian's like, it's like a strip club. Like you like one, but not real janky kind of naked naked people dancing? Double generations of people like the mom and the daughter dancing there and like they walk around and slap you with their titties and stuff like that. But it's mostly you dancing. They don't dance. They kind of just walk around and entertain people. It's incredible. It's and their DJ truly was one of

the best didn't say a word the whole night, just played music. It was great. He's like an old man dressed like it's the seventies and just every everything he did was right. So I think that's like not having a he dressed like a seventies guy. I think that might have been his persona. But yeah, that's what I'm saying. He had a credit.

You're like, Oh, maybe, Oh, this guy, you're, but yeah, that's what I'm saying. He had a, Oh, maybe, Oh, this guy you're, you're thinking he's not putting any pepper on it. Cause he's not talking, but he still could have been putting his pepper on it. It could have been his moves. It could have been a lot of things. He could have just been the way he's like just the energy he was putting out. I danced there. That's the last time I danced. And probably the third time I danced, that place is the best place. If you're ever in Atlanta, you gotta it's incredible place. Here's one from digital gangster says fellas if you need the ATM it's by the door. And

if you don't need it the doors by the ATM. Oh, words like kind of Yeah, that's pretty clever. This is and also it's a little confront a it's it's a little word slay. Kind of, yeah, that's pretty clever. This is also, it's a little confrontation. It's kind of, you know, it's a little bit like give fuck you and got enough cash, get the fuck out kind of a thing. I don't know if that is, I think that is generally the vibe though, right?

It is. This one's really good. Don't forget to use our ATM, the ass and titty machine. It's a Spencer's ride tickets, which you will need to go on for the ride of your life. Oh, oh, that's kind of an interesting way to look at it. He's referring to money there. My favorite that I used a lot was when you make it rain, the girls get wet. What is that? What does he mean by that?

Well, Luke, Luke, let us tell you a couple of things about how it works with the ladies. Listen, that one is so good because it's just so like, it's so direct. You know what I'm saying? You gotta make it rain and the girls get wet because the second part of it is not like an entendre it's not like a play on anything it's just like the girls get wet it's quite vulgar I feel like that's probably also not true no no you're my friend's favorite you're the boss and it's payday sexual harassment right there I don't like that. Yeah, we're gonna laugh about that one. Yeah, we you know, I workers rights all the time. You know, lopsided use 5324 says my all time favorite uses she don't know how to wrestle but wait till you see your box. No, they mean that by pussy see

your pussy. Oh, all right. I see that one's out of date. I think when was that posted? These are two years. Oh, one year ago. That one's actually one year ago. I guess. Yeah. Like, yeah. What are you hoping to get there? Like some guy who's just like, and he's like, that's what you're doing. That's what I'm saying. You're like doing your what is the goal of baby needs a new pair of shoes is one that they have here, which is like, that's like from 1930 or something. Yeah, but I think the dancers baby, like the dancers name is baby

because they do that sometimes. Well, the dancers child they're saying, yeah. Anytime you get some green on the same pillow tip on the hip and put a smile on the ladies lips. See, these are like caricatures of you know what I mean? These are again, these are like the movie caricatures of strip like when you're doing all that rhyming shit and like, you know what I mean? These are again, these are like the movie caricatures of strip club. Like when you're doing all that rhyming shit and like, you know, Brian's doing it

in the correct voice. Like we got all dandy, you know, like that classic. I don't think you want to do that. I think you, you want to try to be a serious person and serious about what you're doing. This guy says, welcome out ladies and gentlemen, the name of the game is dollar bills, dollar bills, dollar bills. It's not free cheeseburger night at whatever your strip club name is. He asked us to say, if you're staring and not caring and it just gets weird, and then finally that that's all of them. So I do have a few jokes.
