0:00 We're going to see what fucking happens, man

I'm going, man. This is it. It is what it is. We're going to go and do our thing. And we've got our Tutor shirts on. We're going to see what fucking happens, man. I don't know. Could be meat, could be cake. You look in the refrigerator, you can't identify it. What's the term? Hold on, because look. Glasses. Here we are. We've got a tank full of gas. It's the middle of the night and we're wearing sunglasses. Blues Brothers. Right. Yeah. We have to take a guess. We're wearing sunglasses and it's the middle of the day. Middle of the day, yeah, okay. Alright, we can pretend. It's a little different but we still have the sunglasses on. Pretty much the polar opposite otherwise. But yeah, we're on our way and we've got just... You know, I hope that nobody expects me to have this set up at every gig that I do because I would have to buy a semi-truck and I'd have to hire roadies. I have never had my truck so full of shit. I've moved before from, you know...

And I've never had my truck so full of stuff. This is nuts, yeah it is. We're going to Bonos, we have to make one stop and we'll be there. Okay, alright, hold tight. We're here to help, and if we've helped you out, we've done our job. Like I tell everybody, how many viewers are there? You know, I don't give a shit. I care about helping anyone who needs help. If I've helped one person, I've done my job. And I'm happy, so I'm glad that... That we've helped you out and if there's any questions you have in the future, you know, feel free to ask. Now, don't get mad at me if I can't get back to you right away. I'll get to it. I do answer all emails. They just don't always happen immediately. Ask what the username is because we're recording this. What's the username? Because Jonathan's got this on video right now. What's your username on YouTube? Elboy382? Elf, elf, like the Keebler elves. Elfboy302. Cool. On the phone. Three... Okay, cool.

2:03 It's manic, absolutely manic

Well, it was great talking to you man and I was just going to say be sure to watch our vids that are coming up. That red Victorian style building? That's a showy bonus. Alright, okay. Five minutes late. Well, Brian and Shrek have just gone up to take one bunch of gear and I'm down here and I've got sunglasses on because it's very sunny and With the snow, it's very bright. So I'm here now with a bunged up nose looking after the kit that's inside there and there. Yeah, that's what it's like folks. It's manic, absolutely manic. Okay, hold tight. Hello there. How are you? It's five turntables and three blokes. Something like that. Two turn... Whatever you want to call me, that's fine. Two turntables and a guy, nice one. Getting everything set up.

3:54 We used VHS decks and VHS tapes

We used VHS decks and VHS tapes. Plus, back then we used vinyl in the turntable so we'd have to take an instrumental version of a song and mix out of whatever song we were playing into the vinyl instrumental version and then try to match up the music video with the VCR basically. So I had at least the knowledge of the video and getting the technology and being able to do a lot more easier beatmixing and loops and everything. It makes it a lot of fun. Do you have a residency somewhere? I've got two shows right now. I do Fridays at a place in Richfield called Whiskey River and then it's actually a sports bar in Menominee Falls called Tristan Close Pub and there we put the whole setup in the back and because it's a sports bar, they have banks of TVs in every single corner. They've got big screens right above the dance floor area so it was perfect. They make that transformation on Saturdays for me to hook up and

If people don't want to dance, they can sit at the bar and watch music videos. A lot of the stuff that I throw in the mix, I throw a lot of new stuff in, but I throw a lot of old school or older music that some people didn't even know there was a music video for. Because MTV doesn't play music videos anymore. So for them to just sit there at the bar and drink, you know, see these old videos and stuff, it's a lot of fun for them too. Do you do any remixing videos with different audio? Yeah, because there's not a remix service out there for music videos right now. I'll either do my own remix or I'll take something like Ultimix or something that's got a good mix and then remix the video over that so that I can... It makes some of the music videos a little more user-friendly. Some of them they drop into a vocal right away in the beginning or

I try to make it a little bit easier on myself at my shows. Yeah, I started with their monthly service and I just upgraded to their, they've got a weekly, it's called Express Weekly. You get a new DVD every week and it's got country, rock, urban, dance and then top 40. So that way it keeps me up with all the videos because I like to use as many music videos as I can in my shows. And then if I don't have a video, I'll throw an ambient video up and then play the CD version. I don't want to eliminate a song just because I don't have a music video yet. So how'd you find it? How'd you find it? You like it? Good. This is the inside of Jonathan's nose. You don't look like that. Dueling camcorders, man. And a plate full of food. Yeah, I couldn't resist. I went with just a soda and came back with this. Alright.

7:02 People, phone number, number phone

Alright, what's your name? Evan. Where are you from, Evan? Racine. Cool. And I've just been giving Evan a bit of a demo and an initial tutorial on these guys here, the 400s, the DDJ and the DJM400. Basically what I've done is I've just shown him the very, very basics, as in what the volume does, what the actual platter does. And really the initial sort of, how to almost turn it on and off really. A lot of people think this is easy, but for someone who's never touched these guys, it's an absolute minefield to begin with, but then give yourself a couple of weeks and it's like, well, a piece of piss really. So how you doing, Dave? Good, how's it going? It's pretty good. Yeah, it's good to meet you as well because people see me on these videos and then I see like you guys as well. I think it'd be nice to meet these people one day. Some people say I'm obsessed but I don't think I'm that obsessed much. He is.

So let's just check this out. Wavy Davey, affordable DJ service. You haven't got a number on there or is it on the back? No phone number. What's your phone number? 414-881-0031. And what can people expect if they book you? Husband and wife team. Alright, who is the actual boss then? Alright, here's the deal. When you go to an event and let's say you set up, who is the one who chooses the music? And who's the one who's really in charge? The reason I'm saying that is normally, which is like me in a husband and wife situation, the wife's in charge. But because the DJing... It's a man's thing, right? That's the talent and I have the energy. This woman is amazing. When we were dating, she came on the first gig like barely better and she's to the point now where she's telling me what to play. Good. So yeah, but the beauty about that is it gives us men more time at the bar. Oh yeah. Nice one, nice one.
