Starting point is 00:01:31 or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi. We dive into the competitive world of streaming. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
Starting point is 00:01:53 There's so many stories out there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You have a lot of stickers on the top of your laptop that face the crowd? I don't.
Starting point is 00:02:21 So when I- The dumbest question. Well, when I- But I love it. When I learned to DJ, uh-huh. I I started with a laptop and I like made the point to never use a laptop Welcome to Tosh show I'm Daniel and I got good news for some of you and bad news for the rest of you. Eddie's not here. Well guess what Eddie? Two can play at this game. Next week I won't be here. You're probably wondering why I'm putting on a little bit of a twang with my voice. It's
Starting point is 00:03:02 because I've been watching Ransom Canyon, okay? And you're about to get some spoilers. So if you're not finished with Ransom Canyon, you're gonna wanna either skip over this or you're gonna just wanna turn this episode off right now. Ransom Canyon, it's a show on Netflix starring Josh Duhamel, Tad Hamilton, Fergie's ex. It's basically what I would describe as like a sexy,
Starting point is 00:03:32 hallmark, lifetime version of Yellowstone. Is that in the ballpark? Yeah. Okay, I mean, that's what they were trying to go for. But it's just just it's ridiculous Minka Kelly, is that her name? Mm-hmm. Oh man. She's in there 44 and and just still just as beautiful as the first time I laid eyes on her in Friday night lights. There's a lot of problems with this show. It is horrible
Starting point is 00:04:03 Okay that I'm getting that out of the way. My wife started watching the first episode. I was, I was doing things around the house. Halfway through the first episode, I said, well, I'm done doing stuff until this is over. Uh, and, and we watched it. By the way, the show is sexy. I don't understand this, Netflix.
Starting point is 00:04:22 At the beginning of the show, it tells you, like, this, you know, the episode, the warning in in the corner and it would say nudity But a lot of episodes didn't have nudity It was like there was some nudity Eventually in the series, but it wasn't don't get excited when you see nudity on the first four episodes. There's no nudity Second thing that I have a huge problem with this show is its location, the geography. They're West Texas and it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Now, anybody that's been to Lubbock knows what a shithole West Texas really is. There's no beautiful vistas nothing And I've seen people comment about this the the time of the year is confusing Just the mountains the canyons. It's just all breathtaking. Meanwhile the homes all look like just Unbelievable Aspen, you know multi-million dollar You know ranches unbelievable Aspen, you know, multimillion dollar,
Starting point is 00:05:25 you know, ranches. That doesn't, doesn't reek of West Texas. They're all ranchers. Nobody ranches. Very little to no ranching goes on. Also horribly depressing. Like the show starts out, Josh Dumal, what's his name? His name is Staten?
Starting point is 00:05:42 Staten. Staten. Staten's wife dies and then the first episode, then his son dies. So he's just a big depressed guy and he can't bang Minka Kelly. Meanwhile, if that were my situation, day one of my wife being gone, me and Minka Kelly are going at it. That's the given. That's, that's the given. That's what my wife would want.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Especially her. I mean, she would understand. She'd have to, she'd be like, I get it. I'm gone. You know, you never know when she's going to lock it, lock it down with another one. Her, I, that's, I was Googling the people that she's dated. That list is long and impressive. Good for her. She went like
Starting point is 00:06:25 from from Derek Jeter to Trevor Trevor Noah I'm not gonna tell you what direction I think that is but Austin Water and Power they're they're trying to buy the land to run a pipe through through the town none of it makes sense oh you know another thing doesn't make sense but one time Davis whose Staten's brother-in-law, one time he's trying to close the deal with Mika Kelly. He goes and buys her a pizza, but somebody online looked it up and that was at the minimum of a four hour drive from wherever where they're pretending
Starting point is 00:06:57 to be to get that pizza in the big city and then back. So also, also did I mention that Quinn, uh, Mika Kelly is being torn this whole time because she's being invited to be at the Philharmonic Orchestra because she's a pianist and she's amazing, but she doesn't want to give up on this horrible life here in West Texas. Some shitty bar. It's not even a bar, it's a dance hall. That's a dance hall.
Starting point is 00:07:30 So that's really, it's as old as time where I, oh, I could be with hot Josh Duhamel or the Philharmonic Orchestra. And I'm being honest with you, if you gun to my head, do I wanna be in the Philharmonic Orchestra or be with Josh Duhamel? I don't know what I pick Although I'd probably pick Philharmonic Orchestra because I saw Josh Duhamel in
Starting point is 00:07:52 Jeff Lewis my doppelgangers Reality home makeover show and I was like, oh this this he's a he's not that impressive upstairs if you ask me All right. I don't even know what else I want to talk about this show so oh and the whole time he's trying to figure out his son who drove way mad and There's anger and that he died that night But apparently he thinks there was somebody else on the road and like a year later he just casually picks up half the bumper of The truck that was involved in the accident like
Starting point is 00:08:25 here and the sheriff doesn't want to you know doesn't want to investigate it at none of this matters no one's ranching and and he's always always has time to be at this bar that Mika Kelly and by the way her little business partner who I think is Mexican because she speaks Spanish but you know other people can speak Spanish that aren't Mexican. I think she's Native American. I couldn't tell for sure. Her ex-boyfriend definitely seemed Native American. Anyway, she's got a butt that is just honestly like I didn't hesitate when we were watching it with my wife. I immediately just paused it and rewound it and paused it
Starting point is 00:09:06 again. It was like, well, let's just look at this for a little bit. They didn't show her butt for the first four episodes and then they start showing her butt. And I'm like, oh my goodness, it's the greatest butt I've ever seen. She's dating Yancey. But I have an issue with his name, Yancey. I had just finished watching Bad Monkey on Apple TV. And that was, Vince Vaughn's character was Yancey. They got finished watching Bad Monkey on Apple TV and that was you
Starting point is 00:09:25 know Vince Vaughn's character was Yancey. They got a narrator. What's his name? Tom? What's his name? Tom Nowicki. Every episode is just like you know Yancey didn't know that he was... so now I'm doing that every time this Yancey is on screen. Well one thing is for sure Yancey bit off a little more than he can chew with that ass. You get it. By the way you do find out that the killer was his cousin the other kid who's a mixed kid you don't know you know he's mixed you're you're confused by his look because Davis the dad how does that your son but then you meet the mom and she's a what's her name? Paula Paula Joe Paula Joe right so then you're like oh by the way
Starting point is 00:10:07 There's just no way that a Paula Joe lives out in the middle of nowhere fucking, Texas Makes no sense. Oh, then you find out that uh this other High school kid was banging the sheriff's wife and what again? I told you spoiler alert anyway eventually the sheriff goes and arrest his wife She got in a fight with her daughter Who's like a cheerleader, but wants to be a cheerleader at UT? but she can't because she can't go to the tryouts because it's the same time as
Starting point is 00:10:41 Something else and her dad well I don't know why why did her dad say she couldn't go to the tryouts because she was dating Lucas And he wouldn't sign the permission slip. Oh because she was dating Lucas wouldn't sign okay that that's right deal He so he was vengeful the father's me Sheriff shocking isn't a good dad, but a great sheriff She had a bad ankle and she didn't land a back tuck. But then later on her dad gets her another you know tryout for UT's cheerleading squad. Like well who cares just go you don't think cheering at Texas A&M would be fun? That's great over
Starting point is 00:11:17 there. The casting is confusing on this show. They didn't do a great job of making people look like who they're supposed to be related to. And nobody sells their land or they do sell their land but they refuse to. There was a rodeo at some point. You have to throw this last bull riding event. You need to fall off at four seconds and he doesn't. He stays on for the full eight seconds or however long you're supposed to ride a bull. Dylan, they haven't even announced that there's going to be a season two of this show, which is bonkers because the end of the episode is like the end of a soap opera where there's 15 unanswered questions.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Oh, what if there isn't a season two? Then all of this was for naught. My wife's biggest problem with the show was she just kept saying, well, there isn't a season two then all of this was for not my wife's biggest problem with the show Well, she just kept saying well, why don't they just arrest whoever owned a blue? Ford F-150 or whatever the truck was like it's a small town. Don't they just know? Oh so-and-so has that truck Where's he been the end? don't know let's just keep watching we're trying to you don't win anything for solving stuff and she also complained constantly that Reed Davis's son his like Western ranch clothes always looked
Starting point is 00:12:38 like they were just bought from Target that day like they were like still stiff and had seams in it. It wasn't like worn clothes. That was her gripe. Everyone has a gripe. Why can't we just sit back and appreciate that Josh Duhamel at 55 is hotter than Brad Pitt? Huh? There, I said it. Speaking of desert lands, my guest today,
Starting point is 00:13:08 she lives out there in the heat. Not that imaginary town of Ransom Canyon. She lives out like in the Coachella Valley. Enjoy.

In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published, and he was unlike any first-time author Canada had ever seen. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted. Had spent 24 of those years in jail.
Starting point is 00:16:55 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex-con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity. He was an adrenaline junkie, and he was the star of the show. Go-Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable. I had a knife go in my stomach,
Starting point is 00:17:17 puncture my skin, break my ribs, I had my feps all in my hands. Only to find himself back where he started. Roger's saying this, I've never heard anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one, Rod. From Campside Media and iHeart Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:17:35 listen to GoBoy on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Tina Turntables! How many times you hitting the DJ air horn during the set? None. None. I should though. I gotta bring it back. You DJed my audio guy Dylan's wedding. Tell me did he try to tinker with your equipment before the reception and totally mess up the audio because that's the kind of movie does around here all the time. No, no, he stayed back. He stayed, I, he was, I, he was. You'll never get your levels right
Starting point is 00:18:29 if he starts touching them. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes. Tina, I've never been more confident about my read on someone. Have you ever experienced ghosts? Well, it's hard because it's like it's ghosts, but you could say just like the supernatural.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I feel like I'm kind of a conspiracy theorist on my free time. And so I don't know, I feel like there's something more out there. I don't know if it's always ghosts, but like energies, frequencies. The thing is, is that I've had like really, really close people that I like was, spent a lot of time with,
Starting point is 00:19:11 they passed on. Because we had so many references, there's things that like have happened that only they can explain. And so like when these things happen after they've passed on, I just, it's like a lot of magic that this world has brought. I don't believe a word you're saying, but it's awesome to hear.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Do you have any siblings? Yes. A full disclosure, I know about your 33 year old virgin brother. Yes, yes. Also a comedian. Is he older? Two months older.
Starting point is 00:19:41 We're Irish hood twins, as you say. Yeah. When did you unpack all this luggage? Well, you know, it's because my father was a rolling stone. So all throughout my life, like, my mom's a full rule follower. And then my father's completely eccentric in every way. So I guess like in those opposites. But it's nice because she raised me with the structure and the rules and then my father showed me what's outside the rules and how the rules are flexible.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Oh wow. And you know it's. Possibly there might not be rules at all. Hey right, it's just based on the moment. And so with my father I got closer to him in my adult life. You're telling me that I could just leave my kids now and then have a good relationship with them in 20 years. Yeah Yeah, yeah. All right. Hold on. Hold on Let me think about it. Your dad Also was a comedian and also a DJ. Yeah, or is a DJ. No DJs was like 80s
Starting point is 00:20:44 Yeah on the radio um or like like a DJ in clubs house parties LA clubs you know and he opened for Andrade's clay yeah that's the world has been his lifetime thing but now he's like a banker to pay bills and stuff but man yeah he's all sides of it. He's fun. He's fun I yeah, I get a lot of joy and I always think about like Who would walk me down the aisle cuz my stepfather raised me from when I was a baby to on and I would like honestly Have both of them, you know the one who raised me and then you know, my biological father You want a big wedding? No. No, I don't need I didn't have super there was no while to walk down I actually want to get married at midnight. Oh boy You want a big wedding? No, no. I don't need, I didn't have a wedding. Super tiny. There was no aisle to walk down.
Starting point is 00:21:25 I actually want to get married at midnight. Oh boy. Yeah. I'm a nocturnal soul for sure. And I think like the symbolism of like exchanging vows, like the wedding starts at midnight and then you get married at like 5 a.m. or something as the sun is rising.
Starting point is 00:21:42 You're telling me that we have to fucking sit through this thing for five hours in the middle of the night? Well, it's gonna be like a cool place. Small wedding, just the nose, you know? Oh, my goodness. I don't even know if I want the invite. What do you think of the DJ at my wedding that the first song played, uh, Gold Digger?
Starting point is 00:22:00 Uh, a lot of people love that song. Was that a shot at my wife? I, that's this, that's a, yeah, that's great. I mean, that's a great song. Where did you grow up? So it's, it's, it's back and forth. So I spent most of my elementary years in Irvine, Orange County.
Starting point is 00:22:19 You like Irvine? As a kid, I did. You did? Yeah, I mean, played outside. It was very classic, you know. And did? Yeah. I mean, played outside. It was very classic, you know. And then you moved out to the desert? Moved out to the desert in eighth grade, high school, basically.
Starting point is 00:22:32 And wow, that was a depressing move because we went from like all the friends, I don't know, there's something about it, the social dynamics and structures that were happening. And then to just have it all stop and go to the desert without a goodbye because my mom wanted to Own a house so they moved to the desert because it's like a little bit more affordable and you could get more we ended up moving to Country club that just opened up for 55 and older. It was like the first time I was like depressed Cuz like you moved to an old folks. Oh, yeah Are you in palms? Where you Palms? Where are you at? Palm Desert? Where are you at?
Starting point is 00:23:06 This is in Indio. So right across the street from where the Coachella Fest takes place. What was the first time you ever went to the Coachella Music Festival? 2010, it was Jay-Z's year. That's the first time. Yeah, it's when they stood,
Starting point is 00:23:16 the last year they had like plastic wristbands. I mean, it was amazing. But like my second, cause I went, I've gone like 14 times and like I've snuck into the festival. I've worked at the festival. Is it easy to sneak in? You know what?
Starting point is 00:23:33 You can do it many, many ways and like confidence can take you. Like with team effort, you can do anything. When did you first try to become a DJ? You know, it was something that I was like entertained, but I kind of like fell into it. Like my best friend is the one who came up with Tina Turntables, because I had this really bad haircut in high school,
Starting point is 00:23:53 and I looked like Tina Turner from Mad Max. Everything was like super choppy. So my nickname in high school used to be Tina Turner, because of the hairstyle. And then my best friend, he ended up coming up with Tina turntables like, wow, you'd be like a dope DJ, you know, and so... So you had the name before you became a DJ. 100% Yeah, yeah, and so I like I got a job in like hospitality It was like I just didn't like it and so I would go on Craigslist looking for odd jobs
Starting point is 00:24:23 Just to do like anything else. And like I ended up hooking up with this airplane pilot. And he drove, it's a 1929 new standard. So it's like basically an Amelia Earhart plane, open air, propeller in front. And then there's only six of his in the world. So there's like a cabin of four in front. And then he drives from the back.
Starting point is 00:24:46 And you got in this thing? Yeah, yeah. Basically, companies would hire him, and he didn't want to get out of the plane because it's such an old plane, so he had to keep it running. So I would just organize the people in fours on the ground, walk them over to the plane. And then at the end of the job, he's like, you want a ride?
Starting point is 00:25:02 And so he like gave me a ride, and I'm like, ah, this is insane. He had a hazelnut farm. And so we like took off between the trees, you know. I feel like I'm doing drugs at this point. How is this getting me to you becoming a DJ? Oh yeah, okay, so, but I was doing odd jobs. So this DJ, this entertainment company hired me. That was my next job.
Starting point is 00:25:23 And they were like Nothing to do with this fucking pilot. Oh, I mean I was looking for odd jobs So that's how I found it was just an odd job. Yeah, but it had nothing to do with being a DJ Okay, that's what led you to the next odd job Yeah, which is the entertainment company and they were looking for a karaoke host. A karaoke host. Yeah. Can you sing? I can stay on key.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Yeah. Yeah, I can get a little jazzy with it. Okay, well, I mean, because you've got a fun voice. Thank you. So I imagine that you could sing. Yeah, yeah. Okay, true or false, karaoke is the worst.
Starting point is 00:25:59 It's the best. Oh, so that's false, interesting. I wish more people did karaoke because when I was dating, I would always do karaoke at my house with the guy I was dating. Just the two of you? I would really study him on what songs he would choose. And whenever I was having a hard time in my relationship,
Starting point is 00:26:19 I would see what songs that they would choose and would be very telling. The subconscious just tells all in karaoke. The only time in my life I've ever actually been to a real karaoke bar was Doug Stanhope forced me to go when I was opening for him in Davie, Florida and he made me go up and do a duet Sonny and Cher, I've Got You, Babe,
Starting point is 00:26:42 but he made us change the word to I've Got AIDS. And then at the end, he wanted us to kiss because he thought it was funny in this country bar for two men to kiss. And he wanted us to get beat up, I guess. He was basically Sasha Baron Cohen 20 years before Sasha. Ugh.
Starting point is 00:27:02 You don't spin vinyl? The vinyl's at home. I don't have the manpower. Okay. But there actually is another Tina Turntables and she's in New Zealand. And she does do only vinyl. And sometimes we get each other's clients
Starting point is 00:27:22 and we send it back. I'm the US Tina Turntables. I was in a club in New Zealand once. How is it? Is it great? I was weird. There was girls swimming naked in this aquarium that I was in and they wouldn't serve alcohol. So we were just getting, you could just order a Snapple.
Starting point is 00:27:40 And people were, we were drinking Snapples and there was, I just remember seeing people swimming naked in this aquarium. It was bizarre. At the very beginning of your career, what can a young DJ expect to make doing some private small gig? The way I did it is I was hired with a company.
Starting point is 00:27:58 So it was like $400 the client was paying. And then I came there, set up everything, did the party brought it all back and I only got $80 out of that $400 and so I felt some type of way so I just started getting my own equipment and then got my first residency and that's what helped me get independent and then with that club that I was at I built all my clientele and that's what saved me during the pandemic were you working all the way through the pandemic?
Starting point is 00:28:26 Yeah, I never stopped. How many nights a week are you working? Maybe I'll get a day off during season. Like right now, I work about six days. I've been working the last six days for, since December. Do you ever do house music? Do you ever spin house music? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Okay. See, when I was 18, I moved to Orlando, Florida. And so nightclubs became part of my life. Yeah. And I didn't do drugs. My friends all did the ecstasies and stuff. I didn't touch it, but I did love the music. You know, I wore my Janko jeans.
Starting point is 00:29:02 I had the big hoops and I was dancing all night long. Oh, I loved it. It was such a weird, to think about that time in my life now is just so confusing. You see the culture transforming. Like I feel like at the time that you were in college, it's when people were less inhibited to dance. And while I do get people dancing there's a lot of
Starting point is 00:29:26 insecurity out there. Do you talk while you're DJing a lot? You get up you start yelling stuff at people? Sometimes, sometimes. Like I do I do like to pop in there. Have you ever screamed if you're proud to be Latino stand the fuck up? Not yet. Oh. I've always wanted to yell that into a mic. Yeah. I'm a DJ Tosh. I was a DJ. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:51 In a USA weird drama, like a sexy drama. It was on for like one season. It was called Sins of the City. It was shot in Miami, Florida. Nice. And my character was DJ Dogman. And apparently I drugged some people, or I gave drugs and then they got raped.
Starting point is 00:30:10 I don't know, something awful. Oh, if we could find a clip of that. I don't think I've ever seen it. I don't think I've ever seen myself in this. If you could find that, that would be nice. Did you get to like be behind the decks? Would they? Yeah, I was behind the decks.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Yeah, yeah. I was pinching the earphone. I was doing the fader back and forth. Nice, nice. You know? But I don't really remember anything else. You don't take breaks during your gigs. How long is your set and how many UTIs have you had?
Starting point is 00:30:39 I actually only peed on myself once. Yeah, yeah, that was a rough one. Yeah. That... Why didn't you just go to the bathroom? I was committed. Well, I wear crazy outfits when I DJ, so... Your wardrobe's intense.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Couldn't make it in, couldn't make it time. Are you buying all your own stuff? But I learned, yeah. Are you making it? Are you, like, creating it? Are you... Yeah, you never stop searching for that outfit. That's why I have, have like a bulging closet,
Starting point is 00:31:05 because I have all these outfits and accessories of like one day. I haven't worn it yet, but one day. Do you, every time you have a gig, like do it to the nines? Yeah, because it's um, you know, it's the same thing, the reason why I wear heels while I DJ, because I feel like people treat me better. Maybe it's like how it positions the body or the shoulders. People see that, they respect it, it's a silent thing.
Starting point is 00:31:34 And like I tell my girls, because I work with a lot of girl DJs, look, do your thing, but I've never been disrespected in heels. But in flats, I've been disrespected in heels, but in flats I've been disrespected. If you dress up for an event that you're playing for all these strangers that you have to figure out on the fly, there's kind of a nice respect of like, oh you put yourself together. And a lot of the times when I'm DJing, you're trying to get your crowd to trust you. Sometimes when I'm dressed like super crazy or just like to the nines, it buys me time trying to figure out who I'm playing for.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Aren't you glad that you just, I mean, I know it takes a while to do all the accessories and the clothes, the hair, the makeup, but like when you think of somebody like Deadmau5 who just puts a huge. That I, the way I would love to DJ in a mask because like. You would. Yeah, because the thing is, is that perception.
Starting point is 00:32:31 You know, when people like walk in and they see you DJing, whatever idea, perception they got going on, they're gonna project it onto you sometimes. And sometimes it's very heavy. You know, there's like an expectation or something. like I've had weird clients where he was this Italian guy and he kept on saying you know I'm older but I'm like a cool 60 year old you know and then like I remember when I finished DJing for him he said you know I really liked your set I thought it you know wasn't it wasn't that black you
Starting point is 00:33:02 know I thought you were gonna really black it up. And I was just like. Oh geez, he followed it up with more. I was like, yeah. That makes me uncomfortable. During Coachella, I got my cornrows done. But it was so interesting to see the difference. It was almost like they were scared of me. And these are people that I've DJed for,
Starting point is 00:33:22 but the hair, I could see them, because I'm looking at them, I'm playing for them, but I could see them like looking back and like timid to like engage with me. It was like a weird thing. And that's why I always change my hair though too, cause I'm really interested in how people receive me in different hairstyles.
Starting point is 00:33:42 When you go home, do you take the time, because it's so late every night, do you still take all the makeup off and get ready for bed, or do you fall out in bed just exhausted? Sometimes I wish I didn't have to take off my makeup, you know, because it's just- But you have to. Yes, yeah, you do, you do.
Starting point is 00:34:01 I just can't imagine, we would never work. I could never date somebody that had that life It would just I would never see you I go to bed at nine o'clock ten o'clock Yeah, you're coming home. I and that's the thing I've dated like a couple of early birds and they they try they try their best to hang tight I'm not gonna hang tight. Yeah sleep. How many hours a day are you sleeping? Twelve You won't sleep. How many hours a day are you sleeping? Like 12. No, you're not.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Well, I was like excited for today, so I didn't get like a lot of sleep. But usually, yeah, 12 to 16 sometimes. No, you don't. Do you like, yeah. A human can't sleep 16 hours. I can. It's nice.
Starting point is 00:34:42 What do you mean 16? If you went to bed at four in the morning. Uh-huh, yeah. I can't add 16 hours. I can, it's nice. What do you mean 16? If you went to bed at four in the morning. Uh huh, yeah. I don't, I can't add 16 to that. What's that? 8 p.m. Oh yeah, reverse it. So let's see, if I'm going to bed around midnight.
Starting point is 00:34:56 So you go to bed at midnight, what time do you wake up? So I'm doing better. Now I'm waking up at like 10, it feels good. You know, but like for a while I was waking up at like one, two o'clock. You were saying how many hours you stay awake when you said 16. No, no.
Starting point is 00:35:14 You can't sleep for 16 hours. There's only 24 hours in a day. Right? And do you need to be up for that long? You know, I wish siestas were more practiced. I take a siesta every day. Yeah. Sometimes two. Well, that's the thing too. I live in the desert. So literally the best weather is at night. You get hit on constantly while you're working. It's rough. It's so
Starting point is 00:35:36 rough because like when I'm hit on like, like take weddings, for instance, a guy will see me and he'll be like, I'm gonna save her for last, you know? Like I'm gonna strike out on all these girls. Okay. And if I strike out, I understand. There's the DJ at the end of the night. And so that's when, that's the type of guys that I get,
Starting point is 00:35:58 you know? And so you, and because I'm looking at the crowd, I'm watching him strike out. And then he, it's like, you know, hey baby, now I'm watching him strike out and then he it's like, you know, hey baby now I'm here now, you know and it's like but has any guy ever come up to you that you didn't know that you were just working and Talk to you and you given them your phone number or went out with them, you know No, the thing is is that every time like I judge them low-key
Starting point is 00:36:22 So I guess when it comes to like the guys that I'm looking for if a guy hits on me while I'm DJing The thing is a lot of times. I'm doing full sound setups in heels alone So I'm like packing my own subwoofers I have an army of speakers and so the guy will hit on me and maybe I'll be interested But I feel some type of way when the party ends and he goes home and he doesn't even offer to help me. Well sure, I mean that's a lot of work. He doesn't wanna do that. Have you ever dated a DJ?
Starting point is 00:36:53 Yeah. How'd that work? He was horrible, he cheated on, he ran train. It was like, I found out later on, yeah. He was wild. Yeah, he was like six foot five. but so many bangers that he introduced me to cuz I was like a baby DJ When he was like a run through but he was he was interesting. What do you look for in a guy? That's a great question. Yeah, do you if somebody said oh, I know Tina's type would they be right or yes
Starting point is 00:37:23 Yeah, yeah. Oh, there is a type. Like there's, it's kind of general though. Like hair is a situation. Like. What kind of hair do you like? It doesn't matter if it's, I mean, no offense to baldies out there, but hair, like there's something about hair, eyes, kindness.
Starting point is 00:37:41 What about age? Do you care about age? My mom always told me that I needed to date older men, you know? But I did and like I dated this like older guy like last season, last year and like he ended up calling me a cunt. And so... In like the British way where it was kind of cute? No, no, we actually had a conversation about cunt and like so when he called me I knew
Starting point is 00:38:02 how he was using it and I was like wow And so was it in a bad way? It was in a bad way Yeah, yeah, so I like you know we took our separate ways and everything and then all of a sudden he ended up Showing up at one of my shows Did you see him out while you were doing the show? Did you notice that he was there? he was there before as I was like when I arrived to like do the sound setup And he was like I I don't want you to slap me
Starting point is 00:38:28 But I just I didn't know how to reach you because he blocked me on everything and I just wanted to apologize Yeah, and so I just put him to work and I had him do my whole sound setup And then he stayed there the whole time. It was kind of a slow event But he took me to the video and then he packed all my stuff away He has a really bad back too. So we a yes. Yeah. Yeah, but it was like it was really nice So I forgave him. We're cool. Now. Did you during the set at any point go shut out all the cunts out there? Yeah, I should have I should Who he was by the way, how old was he? Late 50s. Late 50s, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Oh, gross. That's disgusting. Somebody that old. There was this like, this older, older guy. Like, he might have been like approaching 80 that really liked my sets. And he used to just always just like stare at me sometimes. Because I'm like at the... It was a restaurant. So he would just like stare at me sometimes. Because I'm like at the, it was a restaurant, so he would just like stare at me from afar. It was kind of like people would ask me like, do you want me to do something about this guy?
Starting point is 00:39:30 But I've talked to him before, and then one day I just like indulged. And so he took me out to eat, you know, after my DJ set was like 2 a.m. so we went to Denny's. Oh, you're blowing my mind right now, okay. We were like eating and then he was like, he ordered milk and he really wanted me to. Oh, what the?
Starting point is 00:39:47 And then like there was this point where he's like, drink the milk and I'm like. Wait, what, he ordered you milk? No, it was him but he wanted me to drink his milk and it was like really weird. God damn it, this is the grossest story I've ever heard. First of all, you're at Denny's at two in the morning, this guy's telling you to drink my milk.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Yeah. I can't handle it. Literally, yeah. I don't like this, Tina. Tina, you gotta stop hanging out with those people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you ever done a silent rave? Yeah, like. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Yeah, yeah. Is that weird? I loved it. You liked it? Because the competition comes up again. So it was two DJs, me and another DJ. And when they're listening to their things, it shows you what color that channel they're on. You're basically in a battle here.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Yeah, and so it's like you kind of see how people sheep out in a way, because they follow each other. They see like one person's on that channel, then they all go to it. And it's- Why are there two DJs at this silent rave with the colors? Oh man, so you see somebody dance,
Starting point is 00:40:42 you're like, oh, they're dancing to that. The way they're dancing makes me want to go listen to that DJ Exactly such a social experiment. I can't imagine anything. I would hate more than going to whatever party that was but At least it was quiet. I mean you still get a feel Even everybody looks because it's so quiet. Well, it's so in but that's the thing. It's that like I'm a mixer I like to blend songs crazy. And so when you're like listening to the headphones, you can actually like hear the smoothness.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Sometimes like when it's just on the speaker, you kind of get lost in the noise. You ever DJ at funeral? Oh yeah. That was interesting to curate cause you want to be like sensitive, you know and like now I subtly build a Funeral thing, you know because you never know when you're gonna get that call again Are you supposed to be morose during that playlist or do you want to?
Starting point is 00:41:38 Pick people spirits up a little bit you want to pick people spirits up But it just kind of it's hard because there's like a little bit of family drama. Weirdest place you've ever DJ'd. Oh, well, it was more like the weirdest situation. I did this hockey player. He was celebrating his best friend's birthday. We were at this mansion in Indio. He brought out all these champagne glasses.
Starting point is 00:42:00 We do a toast. And then after we finished drinking, he was like, you guys, I hope you enjoyed that because I put Molly in all of the champagne drinks. So we're- That's illegal, right? I think so. Yeah, so we're all gonna party tonight, but one of my best sets, I got so many customers from-
Starting point is 00:42:19 So you think. No, I'm for real, literally one of the girls there, she was just like, when I get married, I don't even have a boyfriend yet, when I get married, you're gonna be my DJ. And three years later, I was her DJ. And she had- She held true.
Starting point is 00:42:36 She held true, yeah. Good for her. It was great. Where are you at with drugs? Do you enjoy experimenting with drugs or is it not your thing? Well, the experimentation, I think I had my years. Now I'm just tired.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Does it go hand in hand with the DJing in that world? I mean, the source of me and my sober mind already hits. So if I happen to drink while I'm DJing, it's not like a worse or better set, it's just a different set. What's your beef with the Palm Springs Surf Club? By the way, shout out to the Palm Springs Surf Club for giving me an extra hour last time I went surfing there.
Starting point is 00:43:19 You know, they're great. They're figuring it out. I think they like, cause they're still new. This is like a lot of problem that I have with a lot of clients out there is like a lot of people don't think about the heat. They want you to play outside and I think there's been new owners since then, but basically they like, we want you to do our summer sessions, but you have to set up at four o'clock, which is the hottest time during the day at the hottest season of the desert. So it's like you're setting up in 120 degrees. The equipment you spent thousands of dollars on and your speakers, you're doing full labor setting it up. And
Starting point is 00:43:58 it's when the sun's right overhead. Gotcha. They don't get it. You ever do pools? Well, yeah, I do pool parties, but it's so hard because everybody has a pool party in the summer and it's like 120 degrees. So sometimes when I'm doing like really important gigs in the heat, I bring two systems. Because it just overheats, it just conks out. And then you bring the other one in
Starting point is 00:44:20 and then you have ice, you have laptop, coolers, all. It's so I've always you know when I work at the cosmopolitan And I look out my room, and there's a DJ at this pool And there's just hundreds of people in the pool And I'm just like I can't imagine the debauchery that's going on in there. Oh well. I would never go in the pools I wouldn't go in the pool either. Some people are going underwater and getting a little handsy or bringing like, now that you can take your iPhones
Starting point is 00:44:51 underwater, who knows what they're doing? And then just the liquids coming out of them. Oh, you didn't have to say it, but I'm glad you did. Yeah, yeah. You're swimming in semen is what she's saying. Hey, have you ever performed at a phone party? Yeah, I did. Oh, that's disgusting as well.
Starting point is 00:45:07 You know what? In theory, it sounded a lot funner. And then when you're there, it's like, ugh. You get sticky. Yeah. What about out there in the desert, a lot of gay men. Are they a good audience to perform in front of? They're fantastic.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Yeah. Yeah, they're they're so happy It's lesbians that have been my biggest Like I did like a lesbian wedding. They're amazing. But like I did like a lesbian party And that was your one of your favorites. No, it was like my words. Oh, right. They made me cry It was like they were they were nice. No, they were not nice I mean, I hate to I hate to focus on stereotypes, but you give me my druthers,
Starting point is 00:45:47 I'm hanging out with the gay men. Yeah, and it was like really weird because you kind of get to that point where sometimes you're playing the music. There's someone who thinks they can solve and be like, we'll play this. And then you're like, I already played it. And they're like, oh, we'll play this.
Starting point is 00:46:03 And then they get mad because I'm like, I already played it. I'm're like, oh, we'll play this. And then they get mad because I'm like, I already played it. I'm like, I'm with you guys. I'm playing, but there was just no happiness to be found. Oh, that's a shame. But these were older lesbians. I'm not, I like did it for younger lesbians. They were great, but that was my-
Starting point is 00:46:18 Just the older lesbians, not the best crowd. And I think he was like the menopause age because they remind me of my like- I just read an article that we might be able he was like the menopause age because they remind me of my like... I just read an article that we might be able to get rid of menopause. Sign me up. I don't know if it's real. I just thought I just had this article. I was just reading this the other day.
Starting point is 00:46:34 It was... Oh, man. I don't know if it's true. By the way, as a female DJ... Yes. Is that tough in this day and age or no? It's the best because everybody wants a female DJ. Are there more female DJs and there are male DJs or no? No, no, there will always be more male DJs because it is a labor-intensive job Depending how far you take it. Any songs you refuse to ever play? Yes
Starting point is 00:46:57 It's the ethics of DJing that I really because we're in this era of access Where you can actually see these people's lives. Things like playing Diddy right now. You can't really, like R. Kelly was my first one that I stopped playing after he got convicted and then, you know, Diddy now I don't play him. What about Michael Jackson? Where are you at on that? Well, he never got convicted. So that's where I left it at. That's where I tried. Eight padlocks on a door seems like conviction.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Well, you know what? I think there's things to be discovered as time goes on. What I realize is that it doesn't matter if you love R. Kelly and everything or P. Diddy, because people were giving that fight, like, well, this is my own memory. This has nothing to do with them, you know? Right, you remind me of my Jeep.
Starting point is 00:47:51 You know, and then I kind of go between the thing of like, when do you separate the artist from the music? And as a DJ, kind of conducting a vibe, you can play anything you want. You can play Diddy, you can play R. Kelly, but the problem is it's the frequency, the vibe that is invited. What I'm trying to say is that when those artists are played, bad things happen after.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Given that your profession involves playing music at events filled with drunk people, how do you handle all the unsolicited requests? It gives me anxiety sometimes. So I do a lot of work trying to predict before they come, knowing the music that they love the most, getting it out the way at the beginning of the night, and then playing the rest of the stuff for everybody else. You ever pop somebody? Well, no, the worst thing is too is like when someone comes up,
Starting point is 00:48:40 because I don't mind playing requests, but I just don't like it when people come up with a whole laundry list. You know, because I don't mind playing requests, but I just don't like it when people come up with a whole laundry list. You know, because like, I feel like people want to be, like this is the perfect song, and then like if the song happens to land, they feel like wow, I like, I helped the night.
Starting point is 00:48:58 You know, so I- It's 100% what they think. Yeah, 100%. That's so silly. You know, even though you're like, choosing like 500 songs in one night. They're one song Great. Oh, thank you playing. No woman. No cry Always it's always a good one to end on little Bob Marley. You know everybody's on the show get some gifts really yeah
Starting point is 00:49:18 Oh, yeah, yes, it's just stuff around my house It's just it's hand-me-downs, okay, okay First thing I'm giving you for my kids. Okay. It's just it's just it's hand me downs okay? Okay. First thing I'm giving you for my kids I don't like velvet satchel. It's for the sound bath. This is mine? Yeah I don't I don't want my kids to have this. You know what's so funny? No. That's the same color as my car. I actually just got it- That's not funny. I got, no, that's great. It's meant to be. What, cause your car? Cause you have a gold brown car?
Starting point is 00:49:49 It looks- Okay, anyway, I'll get you the sound belt. My kids will never know that this is missing. Go ahead, give it a whack. Yes! You'll enjoy that. Amazing! Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Okay. Also, I got you, this is a pop ring. A whistle pop and a candy necklace because I guess people do drugs. Let's go. This is my kid's pill container. He put stickers all over, you can take those off. But you put Ecstasy or Molly in one of them and just hand them out.
Starting point is 00:50:18 I don't know what you're doing. You know what, I actually was looking for a pill container because I'm getting to that age. Let me tell you about one problem, and DJ, you tell me if you agree. Okay. First of all, you're working, physically, okay? Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:30 You come home, you might be a little ripe. Yeah, 100%. Smelling, you're traveling. Yeah. Somebody, this is from some New York hotel, it's a fancy bag of product. Okay. It's just smell good stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Looking out. There you go, yeah. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay. I like the bag. I don't know who gave me this and what it is, but also you stink when you come home,
Starting point is 00:50:49 you're sweaty and smoke. You probably experienced more smoke than most people. Somebody gave me these bags, but like, it's like to put in your luggage, but one says wash me, one says wear me. So I guess it's dividers, clean, dirty clothes, whatever. Okay. You're gonna love that. Yes. Okay, you're gonna love that. Yes
Starting point is 00:51:06 Oh last thing I have you just give this out next time you ever do any parties for kids. Yeah Oh, okay. You just give this knit your next week. It's just all kinds of funny glass. Oh my gosh. Yes Yeah, my kid. I don't know what I know a lot of adults that would whatever There's some pineapple ones there's about 80 pairs in there. You can give that to your next little kid rave. Oh yes, please. I mean, I might keep this for myself. Well, you do whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Ah! But you're gonna have, all of this has to get off my desk. Okay. Okay, I cannot have, I'm gonna push off. I'm like. We'll clean this up later for you. Do you go out in places where there is a DJ and are you super critical or can you still just enjoy yourself? I love it. I love to so many people in my life
Starting point is 00:51:51 They're like, oh well, you're a DJ But I love when they play music for me because I get paid to like, you know be in that mode I'm not trying to be in that mode anytime Besides when I'm working so like when I see other DJs, I'm hyping them up. I love it. I dance, I just, I'm free. Cause I'm like, whoa, I'm not working right now. Who's your favorite DJ of all time?
Starting point is 00:52:15 Do you have a favorite? Oh, Green Velvet maybe. Green Velvet might be tough. Cause okay, so what I realized, cause not only do you learn so much on the job, but also because I've DJed for so long, when I do go out and see other DJs, it's almost connected to how they make love.
Starting point is 00:52:36 How they are in the sack is how people DJ, like, reflects. Because you got the one-two hitters, and then you've got the balance of feminine and masculine, and the way they are circulating, because like, music is both sides, and like the way, because when I DJ, I'm so naturally girl and girly girl, that I can play a whole woman's set
Starting point is 00:53:00 and not even think about it. But I've been having to do these stag parties, like all men, and so I've been having to like, masculine it it. But I've been having to do these stag parties like all men. And so I've been having to like masculine it up. And I've been like really seeing the difference between. I didn't think there was such a gender line. There is. When it comes to a music playlist.
Starting point is 00:53:18 There is 100%. And so it's like, when I saw Green Velvet, he's that beautiful mixture of like, I know there are women here that want to shake their ass, but I also know that there are guys here that wanna like dance too. I've never wanted to go out and shake my ass. That's the, not really.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I mean not. Will it work out? No. There. It's not my thing. Well wait, what were you doing in college? college on college. I was going to raves I wasn't really shaking it. No, I was more doing the you know, the stupid club dancing. When's the last time you danced willingly It's been 30 years 25 years really. Yeah, they say it's the best exercise
Starting point is 00:54:00 Okay, I don't want to exercise release. I mean, do you feel good? Do you feel like I oh I have I have achieved what I wanted to or success changed for you now Yeah, you know the goal gets more defined More and more as far as like where I want to take this DJing and at first the goal was to DJ at Coachella that was like the ultimate goal. Mm-hmm but I That was like the ultimate goal. But I love the intimacy of a small crowd. And a lot of the times, so like what happened this year is because I've been building my clientele so much,
Starting point is 00:54:33 I've like just been DJing for these really high end parties. And like, I love it because it's the high end parties and the corporate parties. Cause they don't expect the DJ to be good honestly and And so when I'm playing like it's the keys to the castle you're playing modern music You know because it's the rise of the niche You know there's not really one main radio giving us the tunes and so because there's so many hits When you play that you you're tapping into a certain
Starting point is 00:55:07 type of people. Well, Tina, thank you for being on the show. Thank you for having me. My pleasure. Yeah. All right. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Starting point is 00:55:17 I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them.
