0:00 Goodness knows what time during the day

Buggered. Anyway, I've got my headphones, I've got the pacemaker, it's about half past eight in the morning and I think it's probably about... Goodness knows what time during the day... Hello! Say hello! Hello! Goodbye! Cheers! See people think I'm nuts. Goodness knows what time it is at the UK. This is crazy. This is the lift advertising everywhere. This is inside the hotel. I mean, you could quite happily just stay here or go outside. Right, here you go folks, first video now with an interview. What's your name sir? My name is Chad Wondell. Okay, and Chad, where did you DJ? I'm out of Dallas, Texas. Okay, how long have you been a DJ? A little over 11 years. And tell us your... Best gig. Can you remember it? Favorite one. Come on, top of your head. Something that just, you left that room and you thought, yeah. I actually did a thing in downtown Dallas that was for a corporate event following a concert. And it was a country concert so you're thinking the crowd would be all country but turned around and rocked that room out with a lot of hip-hop remix. Oh nice, good. And 2,500 people just jumping around like crazy. Excellent.

1:38 What's the worst function?

What's the worst function? The most disaster for you? Because we've all had them. Probably back when I first started my career and I didn't know any better. Just forgetting things and not really having checklists and going through stuff, winding up going, oh crap, I can't believe I just left my CDs in the car. Yeah, no, I've done a worse one than that. As an agent booked me for a particular function close to Shrewsbury and it was the first time I'd ever worked in this place, very posh place, and he said, just do a good job. I was like, yeah, shit, no worries. And the day I sort of, well, on the same day my wife's dad came to stay, you know, chatting with him and while I was talking with him I was putting all the stuff in the van, drove to the function which was 80 miles away, got there, unloaded everything and I'd forgotten the mixer. I'd actually forgotten freaking mixer. So it's like, oh shit.

What do I do? And the crowd, you know, it's like a wedding. So I just ran and I desperately asked people, you know, the hotel staff. Luckily some guy had a mixer, two channel scratch mixer. So I ended up using this and I had to use my headphones for a microphone because it didn't have an XLR input, you know. But I gave him 20 quid. That's one of my worst ever disasters, you know. But anyway, this guy here. Sometimes I've got a really bad memory but occasionally I've got a very good memory. Sometimes I've got a really bad memory, sorry, no. But what happened is a couple of years ago we did, I talked about iPod DJing and then you actually had a function, didn't you? And it's so funny because I remember it and I remember the time, it was during the summer.

3:25 My arm's getting a bit stiff there now

In 2007, and the particular evening concerned where I'm concerned, someone asked if they could have an iPod and... My arm's getting a bit stiff there now. Said the bishop to the actress. Someone said, you know, can we use the iPod? And you just stand there and put a few tracks on. But I ended up doing most of the songs and they just played two off the iPod. So you had a similar scenario. Can you tell us what happened there? My company also does video, and so we got a call to come in and do this video for a wedding. Yeah. And it just happened to fall that we were getting ready to redo our demo stuff, so we actually offered, you know, they would sign some releases for us to use their video for commercial purposes, that we would just go all out and video the crap out of it. Okay. Well, unbeknownst to us, we get to the reception, you know, this is a pretty high-end wedding. They spent almost $35,000 on the ceremony alone. Sheesh!

And so we get to this four million dollar home in Fort Worth. Yeah. Four acre backyard and we get there and they've got everything set up and we're like, oh a band because they built this little stage. Wow. Sure enough, no, to our dismay, there's an iPod sitting on a chair and the rest is history. Wow. That is just crazy because a couple of people have commented, you know, if you're going to spend a lot of money on a wedding and you think you've got to... Thank you very much. Do you want to call this video out with a certain phrase? Practice and enjoy. Nice one, thanks a lot.
