Photo Fun, Holiday Hustle, and Tech Twists: A Festive Adventure!
Ever wondered how a simple photo booth can capture the essence of a night full of laughter and camaraderie? Imagine setting up at Memorial Hospital's Christmas party and at the Stockdale Country Club, where instant photo gratification meets the vibrant energy of live events. Join us as we relive these memorable experiences, giving a nod to Clyde McGregor's C-Mac Productions and the wonderful captures by "Blame the Shooter." This episode paints a vivid picture of our buzzing holiday season, from DJing gigs to exciting cheer competitions in Anaheim, all while contemplating the magic of Disneyland's festive lights.
Shifting gears from festivities to frugality, we share our journey from pricey food delivery habits to embracing the practicality of grocery shopping and Instacart. How do you navigate gift-giving when sharing finances with a partner? We dive into the humor and irony of budgeting for presents, all while cherishing family traditions and the joy of giving, with fond memories of those delectable De Wars treats. It's a lighthearted look at holiday preparations and the importance of celebrating loved ones beyond just the festive season.
As we wrap up, get ready for insights into the evolving world of event entertainment. From the skepticism around 360 photo booths to the rising trend of audio guest books, we're exploring it all. Our discussions also touch on the endearing quirks of maintaining a 1993 Jeep Cherokee while integrating smart tech into everyday life. With a holiday special featuring the dopest DJ crew on the horizon, we're excited to keep the vibes lively and the community spirit strong. Listen in and join the conversation as we gear up for another memorable festive season!

Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Business professionals, Latinos over at Stockdale Country Club. We set up a photo booth over there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, photo booth projector Photo booth projector, ipad, same stuff that we do over at Havana Nights. They take the picture and that picture immediately pops up onto the projector and we were talking about it and I really feel like it's kind of like social media. It's instant and you get to instantly show off the picture that you just took five seconds ago and at that point it really really drives that photo booth. That photo booth had 200 images and 200 videos on it.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:I mean 200 still pictures and 200 GIFs, animations, boomerangs, whatever it may be. Yeah, so they were all over it. We had originally quoted DJ and Photo Booth, but they ended up going with another DJ, which is A-OK.
Speaker 1:It's just fine.
Speaker 2:I need some time off too, and there's enough for everybody.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Not a big deal. I'm not intimidated by it. It just wasn't my crowd or I wasn't their DJ, or whatever it may be, not a big deal.
Speaker 1:Totally okay.
Speaker 2:Clyde got his CMAQ productions Clyde McGregor, bakersfield comedy on a monthly basis pretty much Nice, with the exception of December. He always has a show, he always brings comedy and I think the next one's in. He always has a show, he always brings comedy and I think the next one's in February around Valentine's Day, and we're going to rock the hell out of it again. This last one was just amazing.
Speaker 1:It was so fun, the vibe, everything was just.
Speaker 2:The vibe, the comedians, the music Not tooting my own horn, but we had it going. We were cooking and people were vibing, dancing. You know, it was a wonderful evening and he just got all of his social media back. He had a photographer. I would really like to put her name out there, so let me open up my phone real quick and remember who it was. It is Blame the Shooter, so it is blame the shooter, so, underscore, blame the shooter. She is a photographer, videographer. Um, at least I think so. Yeah, photos, videos, hdr, all kinds of uh packages. You can choose from events for the video, only events with photos, only events with photo and video. But anyways, I felt like she did a real great job with capturing all of the everything the comedians, the crowd, the laughs, the dancing, the singing, the fun. She did a great job, I you know. I even asked her today for her prices. I was like you know, I think you could do some great things at our Havana event.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So we'll see if we can work something out with her for the Havana event and capture some more images and stuff there, because it was real impressive. And if you guys haven't seen it, you know, go to C-Mac Productions Clyde McGregor, c-mac. They're both on Instagram, facebook. They're everywhere she is as well. Take a look at both their pages, come out to the comedy shows and if you need a photographer or videographer, you might want to. You might want to search her up. Blame the shooter.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It was nice working with her. She was there super early when I was there setting up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Because we were setting up for the R&B singer and we were sound testing with the R&B singer and she was there already.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So that was a great time. We have a busy weekend coming up, yes.
Speaker 1:The girls Summer and Sophie, right, yeah, yeah. What do they have going on on saturday?
Speaker 2:uh, cheer competition all right in anaheim and it's right across the street from disneyland yeah, we might just just stop in. Yeah, yeah at midnight yeah me, sophie. And summer, yeah, yeah, go look at the christmas light because olivia is probably going to want to stay here with us yeah and then I say us, and I'm not even going to end up being here, because while I thought I did my last freezing cold wedding of the year a week ago, we just got hit up for another one for this saturday yeah um, so we're gonna knock that one out.
Speaker 2:Um, we got that coming up. Fantasy football hey, my boy arnold's dat dude just how it sounds dat dude on instagram. My boy arnold, he uh pulled me into fantasy football last year. He said, hey, you want to do fantasy football this year? And I was like, yeah, I ain't got nothing else to do and I'm not a football fan, I'm a Raider fan.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And there's a difference. There is a difference. Some people like watching football.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't enjoy watching football that much if it's not my team.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So if it's not the Raiders, I really don't care. And even if it is the Raiders, I am very, very protective of my own mental health with the Raiders, because they let you down constantly. We have sucked for years and years and years. My grandpa was a Raider fan and that's why I'm a Raider fan and it's just in memory of my grandpa. They haven't been doing his memory justice. But I'm a committed individual. Once I'm in something I'm in and I stay locked in. I'm not wishy-washy. I'm not going to jump to another team, I'm not going to do anything like that, but I will protect my mental health when it comes to my Raiders. So I will just check in on the score on the phone every once in a while if they're not doing great, but I won't sit here and torture myself and watch the entire game if it's not worthy of being watched.
Speaker 2:We deserve better. Raider fans deserve better. A lot of team fans deserve better, but uh, yeah, I'm a raider fan, so that's what it is. Anyways, fantasy football arnold brought me in. I already knew johnny and I already knew rick yeah you know, and they're, they're in on it as well. Well, I ended up today or yesterday, monday night football. I wrapped up my fifth win. I had a little win streak going on.
Speaker 2:I finished 11 and three on the season so far. And then we're in the playoffs now. So you win one game, you get a hundred dollars. You win two games, you get $300. You win three games, you get $600. So you know, I paid $100 to start and I didn't have any expectations going in. I know I've talked about this on the podcast before, but I was not prepared going into fantasy football. These motherfuckers took that.
Speaker 2:They take that shit real seriously, like they had laptops and ipads and printouts and and rosters and all kinds of shit. They had done some homework and I went in there straight out of a nap, so I drafted well, and I'll tell everybody my draft strategy.
Speaker 2:My draft strategy was simply to draft consistency, consistent players, people that were going to consistently perform and give me solid numbers, not people that were going to spike here and there and one good game, one bad game, and you can't ever predict those things. But, for instance, mike Evans, 1,000-yard receiver every year. Not a lot of people know that and I don't think Mike Evans is really greatly appreciated by anybody outside of Tampa Bay fans. Baker Mayfield, he's a dog and Baker Mayfield is a dog. He just has that dog in him. And those are two of my players. You know, I got Brock Purdy, I got Jamal Chase, daniel Carlson kicking, I got the Chiefs defense. Right now they're not great, but we made it to the playoffs, so I got to get one game in and I'll pay for my league, I'll pay for my season.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:If I get two games, I'll pay for last season and this season and have another $100 left over.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then, if I win all of them, I'll get $600 and $100 to re-up and then $500 to take home for Christmas.
Speaker 1:Nice no big deal, I know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what else we got going on? How's Christmas shopping going?
Speaker 1:Haven't even started. No, mm-mm, we haven't even started.
Speaker 2:It's going to start Friday.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's going to start Friday.
Speaker 1:And you know, every year I say hey, let's start buying things.
Speaker 2:Early.
Speaker 1:Early, but I think we just can't wait to give the girls their things.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. Yeah, it's a dangerous thing. If we buy early, we're going to give it to them early things.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, it's a dangerous thing.
Speaker 2:If we buy early, we're going to give it to them early, yeah Well at least I am. I'm kind of soft, I know, that's what Nate called me yesterday. He called me an M&M Hard on the inside and sweet on the inside. I told him hey, man, it's just a defense mechanism and I look. I look big and rugged and mean on the outside but deep down I'm not going to hurt nobody.
Speaker 1:I like that Eminem Hard on the inside.
Speaker 2:Outside. Hey, where are you going, babe? This is not appropriate. This is PG-13 over here. I don't know what is going on. We need a. Yeah, we had to censor. I got the censor button. Now you can't be doing stuff like that on here, hard on the inside. What are we talking about? He?
Speaker 1:was right Hard on the outside, sweet on the inside, every time.
Speaker 2:But the girls already know All of our daughters know I'm not hard on the outside Like they already got me Wrapped around their pinkies. They do. They get everything already know. All of our daughters know I'm not hard on the house like they already got me wrapped around their pinkies they do, they get everything.
Speaker 1:He tries to be tough with them, but he can't.
Speaker 2:Well you know try to do the the dad thing you know and try to. You know I don't want to be such an authoritarian or anything. I I want to. I'm fair if you if up, I'm going to chew your ass out bad, and if you do well, I'm going to praise you really well. Um, but I'm fair, I'm fair across the board. I'm going to chew your ass out when you mess up. I'm going to love you when you do great Well. I love you all the time, but I'm going to really tell you how great you are and how proud I am and everything else. Um, but sometimes you just have to snatch some souls. Speaking of snow soul snatching, I think my dj name could have been dj soul snatcher no no I like dj gordy b gordy b
Speaker 2:yeah it's like a light. Gordy b, it's like a fun, it's kind of like. It's not like. I'm going to just be careful and not mention anybody else's DJ names, but some of them are just aggressive. Yeah, gordy B, you can't be afraid of Gordy B.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Right, steve Aoki, you can't be mad at Steve Aoki. Pauly D, you're not mad at Pauly D, you don't think Pauly D. But if you have like and again, I'm not even going to say it because there's some of these names people in Bakersfield use I'm not even going to piss anybody else off today, and even that one with the big old mouse head. Oh, is that Deadmau5, or whatever?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's kind of aggressive Dead. No, I don't need no death. I know no death fear. We don't need no death. So yeah, we got christmas shopping coming up on friday um what did I tell you today?
Speaker 1:I said babe, I know what I'm gonna get you, oh yeah I'm not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what? Yeah, so I'm gonna tell you right now. I was in the kitchen. Let me tell you a big story. I'll tell you a long story right now. I started grocery shopping like an adult because I have been abusing Uber Eats for lunch and dinner 365 days a year.
Speaker 1:It got bad yeah yeah, it got.
Speaker 2:It gets real bad because it's so convenient. Yeah, um, it's so convenient time saving everything else, but it costs a lot of money. It adds up. So, anyways, started using instacart. I'm still I still don't want to go out and go grocery shopping around people. I still don't like people that much. So, anyways, I have my groceries delivered. Yeah, that's a little bougie possibly, but we're busy, so we've been cooking, we've been cooking our meals, we stopped uber eating and all that stuff, and you know, just trying to be a little bit more fiscally responsible, I suppose have a lot of goals next year lots of goals, big ones, and they won't be divulged here, but we do have our, our big, big, big poster paper that we use throughout the year.
Speaker 2:We reassess throughout the year, we reprioritize, we check things off and we create new goals. We don't wait for this new year, new me, bullshit. You don't want to wait a year to make adjustments to something that may not be working great. Make adjustments right now and then continue making them until you got it fine-tuned, anyways, anyways, anyways. I'm in the kitchen. I got chicken breasts, boneless, skinless. I got a pan out, uh, you know, dried them off, seasoned them, put some barbecue sauce on them, got the oven going, everything else, and we're're talking. Yeah, we're cooking, we're cooking and we're talking and thinking about Christmas and we brought each other's gifts up. Oh, I know what I'm getting you already.
Speaker 2:You know that whole game. And she said yeah, I know what I'm getting you too. And I asked her how much was it? Or she offered I don't remember what was it, I don't remember.
Speaker 1:What was it? I don't remember what I said.
Speaker 2:Anyways, this girl said first and foremost, she said like $400. And I'm like no, no, no, we're not spending $400 on me Not doing it.
Speaker 1:Unless it's something that's going to make me $1,000 in a month or something, and I said, babe, I'm going to need $400.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. And I said, babe, I'm going to need $400. Oh yeah, so when I get paid on Friday, she needs $400 from me to buy me a gift with my money. And it's really not like that. Look, it's just how the checks land. She got paid last Friday, I get paid this Friday. So if it was last Friday she would have used her own money. But we have the same accounts and everything else.
Speaker 1:So it's not a big deal? No, it, but we have the same accounts and everything else. So it's not a big deal.
Speaker 2:No, it all comes from the same pocket, and then she increased it from $400 to how much?
Speaker 1:To $600.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because then you gave me another idea.
Speaker 2:Oh, I gave you an idea. It's my fault again that I'm having to spend money on myself.
Speaker 1:See, you don't have to get me Now, it's not going to cost $400 because you thought I was just going to get me. Now it's not going to cost 400 because you thought I was just going to get you what you mentioned.
Speaker 2:And then I was all like no, I need 600 now. Yeah, that's ridiculous, that's a bit much. And then, and then she was like well, how much is my present going to be? I was like I have no idea, I'm not telling you because I know it's probably gonna be over 400.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's probably going to be over 400.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's over 400. It's over 400. So, but here's the other thing is we also don't wait for Christmas to get things or to give things.
Speaker 1:To each other.
Speaker 2:Don't wait. Do not wait. Get stuff throughout the year, take care of people you love, make sure that they're known and important, and everything else in your life throughout the year. Yeah, you know, don't wait because you don't know what's going to happen. You don't want to lose somebody in that year and then you could have done something. Gave them something, gifted them something, whatever it may be. Don't wait for Christmas.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know you'd be happy if I just made tamales.
Speaker 2:I mean. I get fatter again. You know, one year I went on a D-Wars diet and that's not a real thing. It was just my fat ass going through boxes and boxes and boxes of peanut butter chews and I lost weight doing it. I lost quite a bit of weight doing it.
Speaker 1:I wonder if it's, your body knows how to process it. Yeah, yeah Something physiological or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, genetic, physiological, you know, whatever it may be. Yeah, I went on a divorce diet and, speaking of divorce, my mom, her sisters, her mom, my grandma, grandpa they're all bakersfield natives. They grew up, born and raised downtown bakersfield old days. They've been here forever, and de wars has too, and that's something that they used to get a treat. Every once in a while they used to be able to go to de wars and get, like, a banana split or a sundae or a milkshake or maybe choose right yeah well, marion had a christmas party at work.
Speaker 2:Today, our christmas party. Yeah, it was our Christmas party, our annual Christmas party yeah, I had a Christmas party over at Southwest Pediatrics and um, she got a couple white elephant gifts or some other stuff and in one of the boxes there was a bunch of different dwarves in there and I told her, hey, you know what? I need to go buy dwarves. I need to buy some boxes and send them out to mom yeah and my mom calls us 30 minutes later, or I called her no, we called, I called her.
Speaker 1:I called her, yeah I called her.
Speaker 2:I called her to check on her, see how she's doing and make sure she knows her, her son's not in a ditch somewhere because mom's worry. And uh, she was on the phone with DeWars trying to get an order in to send to her sister in Virginia and I was like mom, you know, I send you DeWars and Pyrenees bread. That's my mom's thing. Bakersfield staples right, dewars and Pyrenees, and I go to these places, I buy them, I to the you know ups store or whatever, and I ship them out to mom so she can have her pyrenees bread, which they don't have out in ohio. And, um, her divorce her choose. So, needless to say, yeah, I'll be making a trip there this week to go grab some and ship them out to both her and her, her sister, my aunt yeah, yeah, yep I know, then, speaking of white elephant, what I uh the white what about a white?
Speaker 1:elephant that we were playing that game today at work what game and the white elephant that's a game it's a game, it's like you can.
Speaker 2:You can steal the gift that someone picked oh, okay, I didn't that, I didn't consider it a game, but okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then it's crazy how people just get mad when you steal someone's gift. You know that's crazy.
Speaker 2:I mean, look, I can almost see like if you were, like, if your heart was set on something. You're like man, I want that one.
Speaker 1:And then your name comes up and you get it and you're all happy and then somebody devastates you and pulls a rug out from under you and snatches it up from you.
Speaker 2:You know how many times our gift got stolen.
Speaker 1:Really s'mores, oh the s'more maker yeah, really it got stolen three times oh, we got that over at uh costco. Yeah, I let, that was a good little buy. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2:It was a good was a good buy. Yeah, especially for other people that wanted it. Yeah, let them know. Hey, go to Costco, they're at Costco, grab them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're like 30 bucks. Yeah, it was a nice little I don't know. S'more maker, what do you call it?
Speaker 2:An appliance.
Speaker 1:A s'more appliance, I don't know, it's a little s'more maker, yeah, but that was cool. Yeah, it was well, it was a fun.
Speaker 2:It was fun network today and we got our uh, we got our santa mailbox over at southwest pediatrics too. Yes, how's that going over there? Are they still filling it out and filling stuff in?
Speaker 1:there was one today, babe, that a little boy or a little girl said that they wished that their grandma was here because she just passed away and mom misses her. I was like, oh, she wished a gift for her mom, not even for herself.
Speaker 2:Unselfishly. I would like my mom to have her mom back to be happy.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a beautiful thing, it was it was beautiful. That's when you know you raised a good kid because, most kids, uh, unknowingly, are just selfish yeah I don't know if it's unknowingly, but they're selfish. Want, want, want, want, want. What are you getting me? What are you getting me not, hey, what do you want? What could you use for christmas? Nothing like that. What are you getting me?
Speaker 2:yeah it's like man hey you need to settle down with that shit. Um g's body works is pretty slow right now. I've I've kind of cut back on that a bit. I'm uh, I don't know that I'd say I'm torn on it, but I I think I'm to the point where I'm probably gonna somewhat retire it and just keep my clients that I have.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Like your like my main ones. You know, anna was one of my favorite ones. She's a principal and we just have the greatest conversations. You know you got Arnold, you got Felipe, you got you know some of my regular people Tyler even, you know and and people that I've actually been able to help that have not gotten help from their chiropractors or massage therapists or doctors or whatever else. I've actually been able to help people and I want to make sure I'm still helping those people. So, geez, it slowed down.
Speaker 1:But DJing has picked up a lot.
Speaker 2:DJ just keeps growing and growing and growing.
Speaker 1:And the photo booths, and it definitely offsets. Djing has picked up a lot. Oh man, yeah, dj just keeps growing and growing and growing. You know, and the photo booths, and it's like it definitely offsets.
Speaker 2:And obviously beyond oh yeah, yeah way beyond, way beyond what you know. Illflow had his birthday recently.

You know, we make the payments on it and then we finish it up before the date. Because if you guys let it get to the date with any of these creditors, like a SEMA or SNAP or caffeine or whoever else, if you don't pay it off in the amount of time that they have, you're actually going to be paying like two to three times the amount for the you know, the product that you bought.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So you definitely want to make sure you pay those off.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:We had a Christmas concert.

You know, it's, it's life, but we, we're still going to respect each other yeah uh, doggies. Oh, I know, roxy is growing our little roxy rottweiler is growing.
Speaker 2:That when we picked her out you know obviously you look at the puppy and you see how big their paws are, kind of gives you an indication on how big they're gonna be. Yeah, and she had the biggest fucking paws and she might be bigger than max. I know she might outgrow max. Max might like big bitches. I don't know, max max might not be like his daddy, he might like him thick. But she got her last shots today.
Speaker 2:Uh, big shout out to uh linel dj nocturnal. He, uh he helped us out, took care of that for us, brought the uh, brought a, brought a low fog machine back that I let him use, bailed him out of a slight little pickle no big deal. You know, I got a low fog sitting here. I got plenty of equipment sitting here. So, djs, if you're my boy, if I can trust you, you're more than welcome to use stuff if I got it and it's not being used and I can. If I got it and it's not being used, and I know you're going to take care of it, because I am very, very, very anal, retentive about my gear and my equipment. You know you buy things once. You don't want to buy them again because you jacked them up or anything I don't want to have to just go buy another one for no reason.
Speaker 1:They're not cheap.
Speaker 2:No no.
Speaker 1:And we buy everything cash when it comes to our dj stuff yeah, yeah, everything is on a cash basis for the most part.
Speaker 2:We don't. We don't really like building, not building, but billing to credit and owing and stuff like that. You know it just. Yeah, we still do. Hey, we're just like everybody else. We still do. Hey, we're just like everybody else. We still, we still finance things. We still do Z sounds, we still do American musical, we still do those guys.
Speaker 1:But we give ourselves a limit.
Speaker 2:We give ourselves a limit and we spread it way out. Yeah, it's not something that we do on a every time. We pay something off. We got to go buy something back at American musical. It's nothing like that.
Speaker 1:No no.
Speaker 2:It's nothing like that. Let's see. Let's see. What else do we got?
Speaker 1:I think that's pretty much it, we got the podcast.
Speaker 2:We got some holidays coming up.
Speaker 1:My mom's coming, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Mom's coming.
Speaker 1:Grandma's coming, yeah, we got the podcast.
Speaker 2:We got some holidays coming up. My mom's coming, oh yeah, mom's coming, grandma's coming.
Speaker 1:She's coming Christmas week. We haven't seen her in a bit.
Speaker 2:We haven't seen her in a bit. We haven't seen her since we went down to Mexico. I had to get a root canal or a couple root canals. It was the last time we've seen her, I believe. Yeah, or you might have seen her in between then and now. I don't know. We haven't Well, mom hasn't, you know, she hasn't got to see the house and everything else. So we're real excited about that because we are proud of the place.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And we really like people to come in and just not be like in awe or anything, but to see that, hey, this is a nice, cozy little place. You guys are clean, organized, cozy, smells good, doesn't stink, you know.
Speaker 1:And you know, my mom's like this too, like she's very, like clean, very simple, you know, and I get that from her.
Speaker 2:Are we putting her to work? Probably is she gonna cook? I don't know if we're gonna do tamales but you guys said you might go do all my piquis I probably won't oh, you will, yes, family yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know what we're gonna do. I don't know what the plan is because I obviously I won't have the girls.
Speaker 2:Why is that obvious?
Speaker 1:Well, it's not obvious, but I won't have the girls I'll be with.
Speaker 2:It's not obvious to anybody.
Speaker 1:To you. It's just like when I say it'll be tomorrow. Nobody knows.
Speaker 2:Where did you get that from, though?
Speaker 1:It'll be tomorrow.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we have this saying Everything comes up so quickly, like we could be planning something eight months out, and we always say, well, it's going to be tomorrow before you know it. And it's true, but you have to be around like-minded people like that, to use that phrase, because Marion has given some people heart attacks. They said something's going on. She said, well, it's going gonna be tomorrow, and they they think literally oh shit, it's tomorrow. I'm in trouble, I'm panicked, I gotta get this done. I'm like no, no, it means it'll be here before you know it it's so funny.
Speaker 2:He's like babe, babe, you can't do that yeah, you can't do that because you scare people, people get people get really scared and create a lot of anxiety for people, especially around the holidays. You can't do that. You might, you might flip somebody out. You can't do that. What do you think about um trends, possible trends going into next year? Um, when we talk about booths, when we talk about DJing, weddings, decor for weddings, parties, corporate events, what do you, what do you think might trend next year? What do you think might be hot?
Speaker 2:Like, for instance, 360 photo booths got kind of hot for a while and I will be the first one to tell you I do not like them. I don't like them. I don't like them. There's moving parts. Somebody has to actually man the 360 and station and operate and everything else. So then you're talking about manpower, you're talking about paying an employee, yeah, and or yourself staying there, whereas our photo booths, they're completely autonomous. They're a microwave. You go up to it, you hit picture, you take a picture. You go up to it, you hit boomerang. You take a boomerang. You go up to it, you hit gif, it takes a gif, and then, when it's done, it asks, asks you, would you like to text this to yourself? And you put your phone number in and you go yeah, I don't think that'll ever get old I don't either, and um, so I think 360s are going out yeah I really do.
Speaker 2:I don't really see them anywhere anymore and I'm not a big fan of them. I might pick one up just so I can have one in the event that somebody wants to purchase. You know, rent one.
Speaker 1:I do. I want to get the other one, the overhead 360. The overhead 360. Now the overhead.
Speaker 2:360 is great. Somebody will still have to operate it because it turns and it will smack somebody in the head, I'm sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Right, but you're not limited to the dimensions of the platform that you stand on. Yeah, this is upside down and goes in a circle around you, so you could probably have a group of 25 people within this arch that this 360 is spinning under.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:So I like that. Prints I'm not into prints. I don't like those either, and that's for a couple reasons. A paper costs money yeah b toner and everything else costs money. C um, sometimes you're gonna have to be there to fix it right. What if it jams? What if it does anything else? I don't, my text messages don't jam. Yeah, my text messages send to you every time and they live in the cloud forever.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We have every single one of our events that we have have done photo booths for. We have an entire catalog with all of all the data, all the pictures, all the videos, everything else. The other thing is prints are again. They're paper. Yeah, they get damaged.
Speaker 2:And not only only that a lot of the times it ends up in someone's drawer yeah you know, like in a box, in a drawer and and then here's the thing we live in the age, a digital age, and we live in the age of social media yeah are you seriously telling me you're gonna take a fucking photo booth picture, you're gonna get the print out, you're gonna set it down on the table?
Speaker 2:you're gonna take a fucking photo booth picture, you're going to get the printout, you're going to set it down on the table, you're going to take a picture of the picture so you can post it on social media. Not only is it going to look like shit, you're going to lose quality, everything else, when you can go just straight digital.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And it lives forever. And it's the same thing with the audio guest book. I think audio guest books are going to spike next year too. They're going to become more and more popular because again you have somebody at your event, your wedding, your special day, whatever it may be. They pick up the phone and they leave a voice message for you. Yes, that lives forever. Somebody passes away. God forbid. It's still there. Yeah, you always have that voice. Yeah, you always have that voice, and it's just. I feel like it's a little bit, not a little bit.
Speaker 1:a lot better than a regular Guest book that you would sign. Hey, best wishes. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and you know what I like about it. It's like you could be cleaning the kitchen and listening to everything someone left, yeah Right, and like a book. You'll have to like sit there and read it, and you can still get things done if you're listening now imagine this going even farther.
Speaker 2:Your kids get to hear grandma and grandpa's voice yeah your grandkids get to hear grandma and grandpa's voice, people that they have never met, people that they never get to meet most of the time. I mean, I only had a grandma. I had a grandma for quite a while.
Speaker 2:Only one I had a grandpa for maybe a year of my, when I was born and I didn't have on the other side a grandma or a grandpa alive. So a lot of people don't get to experience grandma, grandpa or great grandma and grandpa, right. So, yeah, I think audio guest books will spike. I think an overhead 360 will be a big thing coming up. As far as any kind of other music stuff like that, you know stems is out. It's been out for a while.
Speaker 2:Different, different, you know, different platforms have had stems implemented at some point in time over the last few years. Yeah, so there's a lot of ability to create acapellas and instrumentals and and do different things. As far as music goes, we're obviously looking at, you know, the downfall of Diddy, yeah, possibly the downfall of Jay-Z next, he just got named in one of those lawsuits and possibly quite a few other very high profile people. Now, here's the thing with that is, I never stopped playing R Kelly and I never will. I've never stopped playing Michael Jackson and I never will what they've done in their personal lives. We speculate, we can, uh, we can do anything. Yeah, it's not for me to do.
Speaker 2:I like their music and you have to be able to differentiate the human from the music yeah and you know, obviously people are still going to play puff daddy and mace and lil kim and everybody else right puff, daddy and big. You know they're still going to play it. Everybody's going to keep playing Jay-Z, but there definitely is a lot going on in the music world right now as far as all of that mess goes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Let's go to backdrops. Trends for backdrops Now. We have seen some like 4D, 5d backdrops, you know, the flower walls and stuff like that. I think those are going to get a little bit more popular, just a little. I don't think they're going to blow out the 2D ones that we have and we use. We have some very popular 2D you know, prints on our backdrops.
Speaker 2:But there is also newer things, like these cubes, these half cubes, that are completely enclosed, almost. And I'm not talking about those cheap inflatable Timu cubes, I'm talking about some real nice cubes that you can put a photo booth in front of, and they're all mirrored on the inside or whatever they may be, and they just have one side open for you to walk into. And take a picture so I think those will will grow as well which means our warehouse is gonna have to grow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, our inventory will grow.
Speaker 2:Our warehouse will grow. A neon sign selection will grow which you were just talking about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, putting another story. Uh-huh, we'll get there for sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're thinking about putting another level on top of our current shop Mm-hmm. Who knows what we'll put up there. Obviously, we're not going to put the heaviest of gear up there, because I am not going to be carrying stuff up and down stairs right.
Speaker 1:No. But maybe it's just a workspace, maybe it's going to be a combination of a, a room and a workspace, maybe it's going to be a combination of a deck and a room yeah you know, sit out on the deck out upstairs up top maybe just put the stuff that we don't use all the time oh, yeah, like for instance, I don't know the Christmas stuff yeah.
Speaker 2:Once a year. Yeah, that's smart. Yeah, I'm with that. I'm with that. I can do that. We had our housewarming. That was beautiful, had a lot of people come over and hang out. We won't go into details or put anybody's laundry out there, but it was, it was fun. It was a good night. Yeah, it was a good night, it was fun. I think a lot of people enjoyed themselves.
Speaker 1:They did.
Speaker 2:Maybe over enjoyed? I don't know. We won't speculate and we won't talk about it. I had everybody sign NDAs. By the way, You're going to a Gordie B party. You got to have an NDA. No, it's nothing like that Trust me?
Speaker 1:No, it's not.
Speaker 2:Nothing like that we don't do shit like that, no we yeah, no, we have daughters, we respect women, we have daughters and that, no, that will never happen. No, no, um how do you feel about juggling everything in life, as far as the photo booths, as far as your career, as far as djing, as far as our daughters, as far as daughters, activities, cheer, extracurriculars how do you, how you feel you're doing with, uh, juggling all that?
Speaker 1:you know, sometimes it does feel hard, you know, like, oh my gosh, like I only have four hours of sleep and I have to go to work, but at the same time, you know, you know, it's just, I think you and and the girls kind of just help fuel me.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Help me keep going Like everything is for you and them.
Speaker 2:I feel the same way. I feel the same way. You know you get um, you're tired. You get tired especially if you work seven days straight, 14 days straight. Um, you know, some of these weddings are 14 hour days yeah, um, and there's a lot of lifting and and setting up and breaking down and and a lot of mental, a lot of physical it's, it's exhausting yeah it can be exhausting and yeah, when you're, when you're low on sleep and having to get up early the next day, it always works out somehow.
Speaker 1:It does.
Speaker 2:I'm not quite sure how. We do love to be positive around here and give good energy and speak positivity and give all that out into the universe. And that's my religion, I would say, is energy. My religion is energy. I don't I'm not going to speculate on anything else. I'm not going to talk about anybody else's religion. I don't care if your religion is yoga, if your religion is Mario Golf, right, if you have. You like to put puzzles together. If you go to the gym, you know everybody has a quote, unquote, differentunquote, different religion. You know spirituality and mine is just simply about energy. It's trying to be a good human being, trying to do nice things for other human beings, without the expectation of anything coming back, but kind of with the expectation hey, I would like nothing bad to happen to me for a while. I would like things to go kind of smooth for a minute. That would be nice. Can we do that?
Speaker 1:yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:So I feel the same way we. We get tired, but here's the here's the kicker with it. I'll complain about it. I'll be like fuck, I'm tired, man, I'm hurting, my body hurts, I'm lifting these subs or I'm doing whatever and everything else, and summer needs this and kai needs this, and marion wants this and this, and I want this and I want to do this and everything else, and you're exhausted yeah right, you're exhausted you do but on the other end of it, when I have a day off, I don't know what the fuck to do with myself.
Speaker 2:Like I. I am broken, I have issues, I can't sit still. Apparently, I got to try to do something, even if it's work around the house, work in the yard. By the way, I love working in the yard, you know. I've done it since I was a kid. We had almost an acre in Arvin that I had to take care of. When you were a kid, I loved it when I was a very, very little boy and then I hated it a month after.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I never wanted to do it. But throughout life you start to appreciate other things, like for me. My dad worked the living dog piss out of me every day. Every day I was in the yard working flower beds, yard garden, fruit trees, sprinklers, water lines, weeds, rototilling, hoeing, shoveling, moving, whatever, and I hated it. Yeah, and I hated my dad. At the point at that time, little did I know he was preparing me for life. Little do you know your parents are preparing you for life, because life does come at you quick and it will hit you like a fucking cinder block. And nowadays all of my jobs are super mental. I would say it's all in the head, right? Yeah, I'm an analyst for Common Spirit. I'm an Epic analyst. I know Cerner inside and out. I know eClinicalWorks inside and out. I know all scripts inside and out, and now I'm learning Epic inside and out. Yeah, and Epic is the epitome of EMRs.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's the biggest, the biggest, baddest EMR in the world.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, and you get exhausted. Yeah, your mind and your brain gets exhausted. So when I'm done there and I can go outside and I can do some mindless work, some manual labor, mowing, edging, weed, eating, you know blowing- it's almost just like a. It's a nice break.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's peaceful and our place looks beautiful because of it. So then you're proud of it and you get to come home to it every day and like it just makes things nicer it does it really does.
Speaker 2:So it's a. It's a situation, a rock and a hard place right like am I going to be mentally exhausted or do I want to be physically exhausted? You definitely don't want to be both. A DJing will make you both. If you have to set up stuff, set up gear, everything else, play level nine Tetris for four hours, like they say, mixing music and, you know, trying to get a dance floor, trying to keep a dance floor, you know there's a lot to it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:There's a lot to it, so it's nice to swap back and forth sometimes. But on the other end, somebody that does manual labor every day probably wouldn't mind getting on a computer and doing some day trading or something and making some money and using their head right. It'd be a nice break for them, nice break for their body. Speaking of day trading, I am getting into day trading. I'm going to start it the beginning of next year. I'm getting all the equipment set up monitors, accounts. I've had Robinhood for years so I've kind of traded for a while.
Speaker 2:But I'm going to go Ninja Trader. We're going to trade futures, we're going to trade options. We're going to be up, you know, early in the morning, a couple hours before work, try to make a few hundred, maybe a thousand dollars. You know, depending you're going to have good days and bad days. So I'm going to start trading. I've been watching all kinds of videos, reading all kinds of stuff on it, and I'm pretty confident I can do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then possibly, you know, just retire off of trading one day. Yeah, you know, obviously, keeping common spirit, I have great, great health benefits.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But if I'm making a thousand dollars a day trading, I really don't care. I can just pay for my health stuff in cash. Yeah, no big deal, not a big deal. But you know, another venture for me, something else to do, something to keep me busy, another challenge. I'm always up for challenges, I'm always up for learning and the frustration and everything else behind it that leads to success. Yeah, yeah. That'll be fun. Nate poor nate poor nate.
Speaker 2:December driving his truck, took a shit on him yeah driving his truck to the dump to clean up his new house. Timing chain slipped or broke, I think think on his. Tundra and he was supposed to come over and pick something up and he had messaged me yesterday evening. He said hey man, I'm sorry I haven't been able to go by. You know, truck broke down. I was like, well, come pick up the Jeep, man. You know I work from home. I'm blessed.
Speaker 1:I'm fortunate.
Speaker 2:I have worked hard to get here, but I work from home so I have vehicles that I don't use necessarily. So I say, hey, man, come pick up the Jeep. You know, do what you need to do for the week. You know, get to your events. You know, run business, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Just bring it back to me with, you know, not too many dents and scratches.
Speaker 1:It's a tank with you know, not too many dents and scratches.
Speaker 2:It's a tank. You know it's a 19. Look, he was even impressed with the interior. He was impressed with the jeep overall. Yeah, because we take very good care of it. And it's a 1993 jeep. Cherokee yeah, it is spray painted flat black plasti dip, um. So if I get a scratch in it, I go out to the garage, I get my black plasti dip. So if I get a scratch in it, I go out to the garage, I get my black plasti dip and I spray over it. Big fucking deal. You know what I mean. I don't want to have to care about a shit box. I don't want to what's so funny?
Speaker 1:I don't think it's a shit box.
Speaker 2:What was so funny? Nothing, I missed something.
Speaker 1:I said brown the other day yeah, I missed something. I said brown the other day oh man, what an insult.
Speaker 2:I was so mad. I was like you called my little Jeep brown because it just happened to get rained on and dirty. I was like wash it off or something. Man, it's a black Jeep but you know, black fades out a little bit, it grays out, you know. You got to give it a fresh little coat of plastidip, which I'm going to be doing soon alex is going to be over soon to uh do the couple things he needs to do to the jeep. We have a hot water heater that we got to get replaced in omars and we got a mini split that we need to have installed in omar studio. Yeah, but after that he has a nice little setup in there. Now he does got the bed frame, got the computer desk, microwave, refrigerator sink. You know a little kitchenette, little kitchen in there. He has a closet, he has a shower and a in a bath or a shower in a toilet yep he has his own little spot back there.
Speaker 2:I know rick did a lot of good work. Um, you know r Rick's been busy. You know he's been taking all the jobs he can take.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So he's been, you know, splitting them up. I know He'll be at our house one day, he'll be at another house, you know, another day, and another house another day, another house another day, and then he'll be back over here in three or four days, right, yeah, I can't blame the, the guy. You know you got to take the business when you get it, but it's okay. I mean, we're not in a rush, no, no, and he does great work. He does, so I'm not worried about it.
Speaker 1:he finished up our uh, our light switch over here and our uh, our entryway and the?
Speaker 2:uh, what's the? Uh? Where these led pucks. We got led puck in the entryway. You know the recessed lighting or whatnot yeah, makes a huge difference oh yeah, and then everything is driven by google. You know our backyard lights, automatic on and off, dusk and dawn, front porch, automatic dusk and dawn. Google controls everything else. We can dim all the lights. We can turn the lights on off, backlight on the TV, thermostat, vacuums, washer dryer what else do we control with that thing? All the time We've been starting our grocery list on it, oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:So we just tell Google hey, I need you to add some fresh jalapenos to our grocery list, and it adds it to our list. So then we just open it up. We've got check boxes on it. We open up our Instacart, add those items and order away.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Or you can go to the store, but I'm not going. I'm not going.
Speaker 1:I think sometimes you spend a little more when you go to the store.
Speaker 2:You do, you do. That's what they're designed for.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Especially Costco. That's what stores are designed for. They're designed to. Yeah, I know you love Costco.
Speaker 1:I love Costco.
Speaker 2:Okay, we had a thing that we were talking about the other night and Marion's love of things that begin with the letter C.
Speaker 1:NU letter M.
Speaker 2:M. What were mine?
Speaker 1:Movies, Music movies.
Speaker 2:Music movies.
Speaker 1:Money.
Speaker 2:What do you mean? Money, just because I make a lot of it?
Speaker 1:doesn't mean I Money honey. Who doesn't?
Speaker 2:love money.
Speaker 1:Everybody loves money.
Speaker 2:You know, and money.
Speaker 1:For me it's cash.
Speaker 2:Yeah, same shit. Cash casinos, Costco. What were the other ones? I don't remember. One of them is a yeah, you can't say that one. It rhymes with mock Jesus. Woman, you can't be talking like that on here. What are your other Cs Christmas?
Speaker 1:Yeah, christmas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Christmas.
Speaker 1:But Christmas, you like Christmas too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's not my favorite holiday which is your favorite. Maybe Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1:Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2:Maybe you know, because Thanksgiving isn't about giving and receiving and everything. It's just about family sitting down.
Speaker 1:Well, I don't think Christmas is either.
Speaker 2:For who? The majority of the population?
Speaker 1:Well, I know, but Christmas is not for that.
Speaker 2:That's not what it's supposed to be no, but that's what it became. It's become a materialistic, it's become a shopping thing, Just like Cinco de Mayo. That's not a real holiday.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like for me, like I don't care to get any gifts, but I do like to see our girls faces light yeah, we talked about that.
Speaker 2:You know it's different when you're an adult versus when you're a kid it is what makes us happy is fixing our sprinkler head. Hey, hey, you know what makes me happy, and this is what I told Mary and I wanted for Christmas. I want some some mulch, I want some sand, I want some Epsom salts, I want some grass seed. You know, the things that I want are either to make our home more aesthetically beautiful, pleasing, whatever it may be, or things that are going to make us money.
Speaker 1:Or things that make our life easier. Yeah, right, uh-huh.
Speaker 2:Which is why we integrate Google into everything. Our alarm system, everything is Google, everything. We can control everything by Google, by our voice. For the most part, yeah, because, hey, we work three, four jobs and yeah, we work, you know, 14 days straight 10 hour, 12 hour, 14 hour days.
Speaker 2:If, if I can have a robot vacuuming my house, I'm going to I can't wait till we get a new stove yeah, we need a new stove, we need a new uh refrigerator, a new dishwasher and I really, really, really want to buy a new robot that has a mop built into it.
Speaker 1:Yes, that would be cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Which we're going to have to have too.
Speaker 2:But you know, what's so nice is when those robots run automatically at the time we have them set at and you come home and everything is picked up, everything's. You know there's vacuum lines on your carpet and on your rugs. You know it's like you come home to a clean house every day. It's really nice. It's a nice thing Google is. We're still working on the house, still working on the backyard, still working on the shop, still working on the studio. Working on the backyard, still working on the shop, still working on the studio, still working on all kinds of things, little electric outlets here and there.
Speaker 2:Still working on some moving boxes oh yeah, we still got stuff that hasn't been unpacked, I'm to the point where I'm like babe throw it away let's just call swift and have them throw it away well, there's money out there, so we gotta sort through things.
Speaker 1:I know, I know I know, but I'm just saying, like it's just I'm gonna bring I don't want like. We don't want clutter like it's just no, absolutely not.
Speaker 2:That is not permitted in this home and it's just like. It's just things that have accumulated throughout the years and I'll tell you guys why it's not permitted in our home is because of my mental health. For me it's not only in our home, is because of my mental health. For me, not only cleanliness, but for my mental health. If our room or our house is just a filthy mess, it really does have an effect on my mental health.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Whereas when things are nice and clean and cozy. So is my mind.
