DASEC DJ DASET DG DJ What's going on Everybody I hope you have a shot in your hand Because it's time for tequila

And if you have a shot It should probably be tequila But I mean it doesn't need to be It doesn't need to be But for this song I would suggest it What's going on It just feels right It just feels right if you do

DECD DJ we're doing a classic DASIC DJ And let me look up the lyrics Real quick for this song Yeah pull the lyrics up We're going to eat that on this one. It's your boy at DJ Castle. And your boy, DJMC, Jikad, what's going on, everybody?

We want to make sure we brought in something that gets everybody drinking, everybody enjoying life. And this is one of those songs that keeps us doing that. But I got to be honest with you, Castle, when I hear the words tequila, I kind of want to throw up. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Tequila is one of those drinks that I have overplayed in my life. Yeah, you get sick on the shit.

That's right. Yeah, dude. So Justin's got to a point Like where he like knows exactly what alcohol is like make him sick and which ones work for him Yeah And he keeps it very simple He's like I like my Tito's vodka You know I like my Trulies

I don't even know what else Maybe some beer at a time But other than that Yeah I can't go too deep with it because I done mess myself up With all the alcohols Well I'm gonna stand on the other side of the out there because I'd love a good shot of tequila bro But it's got to be good tequila That's something I learned because I actually did

did go through a period where me and tequila were not friends. Or you did Jose Quiroz? Yeah. Like when I first started drinking, when I was like 20, 21. Fuck you, Jose. I remember my first cocktail that I loved was tequila sunrise because I was at one of the Mascot festivities in Reno. And they had like a couple of drinks that was like, oh, we make these and these.

And I just kept being like, oh, tequila sunrise is one of the cocktails. And I was getting a tequila sunrise every time. So I was like, oh, that's my favorite cocktail. So, you know, when you're young and you first start drinking, like, and you find a cocktail that you love, like, you just, like, stick with that. So at that point, I was like, yeah, I love tequila. But back then, every time somebody would bring a tequila around, it would be, like, that cheap-ass shit. And I had a few nights where it was just like, oh, my God, I don't like what this alcohol does to me. And my body was like, nope, no more of that.

And I literally went through like a year and a half where I was like, me and tequila, we're like this. You can't see I'm doing like the magnets. It's don't attracting. And it wasn't until I discovered Patron. And I was like, oh, that's what good tequila tastes like. And then a good chilled, yeah, but a good chilled patron. Yeah. A good chilled silver tequila, I'm like, I'm always up for.

Yeah. With a nice lime chaser. Like, yeah, I've always got time for that. So, yeah. So my two experiences with tequila, I mean, many obviously experience. But one is that my 21st birthday was in Vegas with my cousin Lowe's and my mom. and my mom Yeah, my mom was there on my 21st birthday party with me

It's all right, I love my mom That's sweet, that's cool In any case, what me and my cousin did Was we bought three full bottles of Patron To take with us And all we did was hold the bottles of Patron in our hand And drink straight from it The entire night

That's what Missy Elliott said we should do And therefore we did it And yeah, I don't remember the hangover from that, but I remember it being a rough night as far as, like, this isn't that easy to drink. You guys didn't have tasers or lime? No, we just kept taking, like, straight shots. You didn't even have limes?

No, no, that was road status. Literally had a bottle of patron. Honestly? Like, in your hand, like, just a bottle of patron, and you just take sips from the patrol, like, from the bottle. Like, in your hotel room? No, like, yeah. Was your mom?

But we carried it around, like, the hotel and shit? Was your mom present during this? No, it was just me and him. She didn't, my mom doesn't drink. Okay, okay. No, it was just me and him bought three bottles of Petron thinking that's what we're supposed to do because it was 21. He had a bottle, I had a bottle. Yeah, no, that's rook shit then because like, yeah, you need to have some kind of like something that like balance it with.

Even if it's just a lime, just a little lime to suck on. That's how it. Okay, well, there you go. That's where it's where it's started. And then. And I bet you it wasn't even chilled, right? No. Oh, man.

No, of course not. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Yeah, that'll fuck it up for you. The second version I have a tequila is every time I ever have. have any kind of drinking night where I'm drinking beer, any kind of alcohol. And I decide for some reason at the end of the night to be like, you know what, shot of tequila sounds right about now.

It makes me sick for at least the next 48 hours. If I start with a shot of tequila, I'm okay. Just one, one or two, I can start with a shot of tequila before I start drinking. I'm okay. If I try to end the night with a shot of tequila, it's a 100% guaranteed I'm not going to be up tomorrow. Tomorrow's a bad day for me. Yeah, I've seen it.

I've seen it in person. Don't do it to me. It's 100% and I'm out. Yeah, this is something that happens over friendship over years. He used to get frustrated with me. Now you understand. Well, yeah, well, I just know what to avoid now. And when you were just suddenly like knocked out of play for like half a day.

It'd be done. And I'm done. You're not bringing me out of it. Yeah, yeah. I've just learned how to deal with it. And you know what? He's a much more of a trooper than I have. And you know what?

This man will roll on. And then you know what I will do? I'm going to be like, I need a shot. And you know what shot I'm going to do? Tequila. Let me be honest, this 1958 track comes in hot, dude. Is that really what you heard from? Ninety-eight.

There's an element of genius from this track. But let me ask you this. What is the first thing that this track reminds you of? Like when you hear it. Peewee. Pee-wee. Pee-wee brinks it down with a double fist forward, double-fits back, double-fist forward when the,

when the bikers are about to beat his ass. And that's forever where we're, remember but beyond that man this this is just a classic like every time i hear it i want to get down i can't believe it's that old what year did you say nineteen fifty eight damn that goes the champs i just love the fact that a song from all the way back then had the balls to like just provide no audio in terms of lyric and like that only lyric is they're just going to just be like a single guy just kind of hid that because like usually when this song is played in public You don't even hear the voice

Because everybody else in the room goes Tequila But it's a really deep low voice of Tequila Tequila It's pretty fucking cool actually When you consider it being like somebody from 1958 that they've made this

and have the balls to fucking put that track together It's dope shit Let me give you the quick description that it gives On Wikipedia, the infamous Tequila is a 1958 Mexican-flavored Rock and Roll instrumental written by Danny Flores

and recorded by the champs The kidda became a number one hit on both the pop and R&B, which charts at the time of its release and continues to be strongly referenced in pop culture to this day. Classic track. For being an instrumental, for being only two minutes and 15 seconds long, this song fucking slaps. But it does make me wonder what would this song be if it didn't get that pee-wee revert? Because I remember as a kid, like my whole life, this song has been. tied to Peewee. I remember like Peeway's

Big Adventure is one of those movies that like you know, me and you are like, we grew up the same time. We were both shown that movie at a young age. And he was, and to be honest, if I'm being honest with you, please be honest. Pee-wee kind of ruined this on for me because like I remember

even as a kid like maybe I was supposed to root for Pee-wee but I did to a degree but like I just remember watching him do this fucking stupid dance. Stupid dance. And I just remember being like, even as like a young kid. I was like, yo, beat this guy's ass.

Like, this is such a fucking whack-ass dance. And watching... Is this working for you guys? I just remember watching him, like, in the biker bar. Yeah, the bikers were loving him. And he's doing this stupid dance.

And I'm just like, why are you guys, like, so, like, why is this winning you over? Like, this dance should not win you over. Like, this is a dumb... Then he drives off, then he drives off in one of the bikes and hits a big board. Yes, and it's fucking hilarious. It's actually funny. I remember that being funny.

But, like, I remember, like, thinking he starts, like, whitting him over when he starts, like, breaking all the glasses. And I'm just, like, as a bar, okay, like, okay, bikers. Yeah, bartender, get the ball. Is it this your bar? You guys like to hang out here? Like, I'm just thinking of any bar that I know where there's, like, out. No chance that would happen. No, if the dude started throwing the glasses, the bartender would be like, the fucking bar.

This guy is got to fuck him out of here. And they would fuck him up for sure. And no guy is allowed on the bar to dance. And he's not, and especially, like, maybe if he, like, crushed it and he was doing, like, our crazy cool day. But even then, dude, even then. But, no, but doing the dance he was doing, like, who the fuck is that winning over? Dressed in a bullshit great-tops? That was actually what mostly when I was a kid.

Like, I actually feel like I remember seeing this movie before I remember watching, like, Peewey's Playhouse as a kid. Like, I remember watching both, but I think I saw the movie first as a kid, and I just remember being like, I don't know what the deal with this guy is, but, like. And then he went. kind of sucks, right? Like, he's got this stupid-ass dance. Like, fuck him up, guys. Yeah, and then he went and jacked off in like a movie theater at a porn

and then messed up everything. Fucking Pee-Wee. That wasn't part of the movie, but, yeah. Either way, it all kind of messed up this song for me. I wish I actually knew this song without Peewee, to be honest.

Because, like, it's a fucking dope song. It's a dumb song. It messed you up. Yeah, it messed me up. And the instrumentals fucking slaps. Justin, let me ask you a question. Yeah. Have you ever done this song on karaoke?

Yeah. You have? Yeah. Did you nail it? I do a lot more theatrical, so I dance the whole time. Do you do the pee-wee dance? You got it. I know you do it.

I know what it's a piece, and all different stuff. And then when it's time it's... So you keep everybody entertained. Intertained. But I've also seen the opposite, where they do the whole thing that got a popular, where a guy just stands there and he just waits. Yeah, I've seen that touch. And he waits and he goes, tequila.

Yeah. Tequila. And it's like, dude, you gotta realize that's been done. Like, that's one of those jokes. Like, when you're at a wedding, dude, I've seen so many people do this wedding where somebody is giving a toast and they say, groom, put your hand on top of the bride's hand. Okay, that's the last time you'll have the upper hand in the relationship.

Stop doing that fucking line. I've seen it a thousand fucking times already. Please, people. Stop Googling your toe. You know what I want you to do next time we DJ a wedding? Stop! Stop! I know you won't do it because...

I'll do that. Like, stop! Yeah, I know you won't do it because you obviously care about your DJ rating and you're a great wedding DJ. But I wish the next time somebody did that like, put your hand on top. As soon as they do that, I want you to just be like, oh, yeah. Oh, please. I just, every time I'm like, how do you not know that this has been done? And you know what always confuses me when that happens?

Is the reaction is always there? Is there like six or seven? Oh! Yeah. Yep. I hate it. It's like, you know you've heard that. Don't act dumb.

That actually is worse than doing tequila for karaoke. I've seen karaoke where they have, you know, sometimes you go to a karaoke bar where there's like an hour and a half wait to get up there. Yeah. And I've been in those kind of ones where somebody goes up there and does this song. And I'm like, you seriously? people are like can't wait to get on stage and be like,

this is the song that I've been like my friends are here and I've seen it on TV and then you do this fucking thing yeah I've seen that it's one of those like stand up comedian things where it's like this is an easy joke

it's a joke that's been done but like as a so many that's done stand up before like you don't do a stand-up joke that you've seen before even if one person in the crowd has seen that joke done you're fucking done

you can't risk that you can't risk somebody being I agree. Dude, I saw Daniel Tosh do that same joke. Yeah, I see a karaoke. Every time somebody doesn't, I'm like, you don't got nothing else? As a karaoke DJ now, I go, come on. Yeah, call them out.

I do, I do. Come on. We need karaoke DJs like you. If they do it and they tip me, I'm like, all right. You better tip me. If you didn't, I'm gonna fucking call you up. All right, we got somebody doing a. Does anybody have a real fucking song that they want to do?

That doesn't suck and do a lame-ass joke. I want you to do all. that next time. We're all waiting for it. Now we're putting it out there on blast. All right. Well, we've talked about it. We've talked about pee-wee. We've talked about the actual drink of tequila. And we've talked about how much this song motherfuckin'-slaps. Classic from 1958. Stacey, what are you giving the snaps?

All right. And the slaps. Tequila! Yeah, that's all I got. I don't know. It's basic. But it's fine. It's a basic. A song. Super basic. You ready for me? You ready for me? Go for it. Tequila. Yeah. That's it.

It's a super basic. Exactly. It gets a basic rating. Exactly the same thing you got. It's really all you. I feel like I did the exact same thing you did, which is what everybody would do if they did the exact same karaoke. Because they would really sound the same for this fucking song. Classic hit though.

It bangs. You put it on. You're dancing to it. We're talking shit about people that do karaoke to the song, and yet we just did a whole fucking review to this song. Basically going on the same line. To tell them, stop doing this fucking song for karaoke. Stop doing this song for karaoke. But if you want to dance to it, it's actually pretty good.

It's a good song dance to. We can't hate on it because peewee's old and we... And if you could actually do a dance to it that does not include the pee-wee dance, I'm intrigued. I want to see it. I would like to see that. Let's get down. Yeah, you know it? Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

Next!
