The ZM Podcast Network. Astrobody in the Astrobody. Astrobody in the Astrobody. Hi everybody, welcome to the After Party. Any feedback from our Empire Pub Podcast special that we did the other week? How did it come out? We were operating with one faulty microphone. Did it work?

Are we a work in progress or are we cancelling it? Well, one of them worked, one of them didn't. Some of it's missing. Shit. Then we went around the pub picking who we were going to sleep with. Which was awful.

Oh, wasn't that bad? Why? I feel uncomfortable. Not bad uncomfortable, just like, oh, I don't know. Oh, bloody Gen Zs, I tell you. I'll be quiet. Take everything too serious.

I don't want to sleep with people. You didn't have to do it. It's hypothetical. Oh, my God. I think Ella takes to sleep with people. You didn't have to do it. It's hypothetical. Oh, my God. I think Ella takes the hypothetical scenarios and takes them really literally. I was going to say, wait a second. I flip it. I'm like, what if I hear Ryan on a podcast saying who he would like to sleep with?

I wouldn't want it. If that's the case, you've got bigger issues at play. Anyway, any feedback on the episode? Nah, because I couldn't upload it. Oh, fuck off. Oh, it was so good. There was so much juice in there. No.

Why couldn't you upload it? I think one of them glitched right at the end, the one that you had the whole time. Good. It wasn't worth uploading, so that's fine. It's a blessing in disguise. But, you know, it's a good practice run for this Friday. Yeah.

Yep, yep. I've got a question for you guys. Because you hear in the show say I DJed at a wedding over the weekend which I don't do very often anymore but when I do I go actually this is a lot of fun I enjoy doing this

weddings are just fun occasions so if you have to work on the weekend it's a fun thing to work at when you DJ a wedding you spend time with the bride and groom finding out what kind of music they'd like first you do like a consultation with them and you get their musical taste

and you get them to put together a list of songs that they'd love to have at the wedding so that you can make sure that you've got them. And this was a great wedding, phenomenal wedding. My question is, and this is not for this wedding specifically, do you think there's different rules for what music you can play at a wedding

and in real life? My reason being, there's not a wedding that I've done in the past where on the request list hasn't been Michael Jackson, Blurred Lines, and R. Kelly, Remix to Ignition. You can't play R. Kelly. No, I'm not. You can't. You can't play that.

It doesn't matter where you are, what situation. Yeah. You can't play that song. Yeah. Any R. Kelly, you can't play. You can't. Nah. Because even if you put it on

You go oh they He's convicted Yeah yeah yeah We know what he is What's the podcast He's convicted of a lot of horrific things Yeah gross And even if someone requested it

You can't play it No you can't Because they're not going to know That it was a request They'll just go Oh my god this DJ still plays R. Kelly Blurred lines I can't pick Whether or not it's okay

Because obviously the song It's a bit blurred on that one, isn't it? Yes, the lines are blurred on that one. Well, I know you want it. It just hits really hard. To be honest, that song is just shit, if you ask me. Oh, yeah, and I don't like it either. It's just one of those songs in my, I put it in the two,

it got played too much on radio category. It did. I've got a few. But it got played too much on radio category. It did. I've got a few. But it's a very good like dance floor song. I hate it. Great songs and then it goes. If it was my wedding, happy Pharrell, get in the bin. Pharrell's on Blurred Lines.

Blurred Lines, get in the bin. Shake it off. You can just be Dance Monkey on repeat. Get in the bin. Uptown Funk, get in the bin in the bin Uptown Funk Get in the bin Oh Uptown Funk goes hard Yeah it would

I just can't be Funked with it Put your pinky rings up To the moon I just heard it What you trying to do What you trying to do Do what you trying to do

No this is my worst nightmare So I guess you're not going to get me to DJ your wedding. Well, you said I can give you a list. Don't play these songs. You can have a no play. For the wedding I did on the weekend. People have a no play list all the time. One of their no play artists.

And this is controversial for a wedding. Ebba. For a no play? Yeah. And by the third person who came up to me to, Ebba. For a no play. Yeah, and by the third person who came up to me to request Ebba, because for the same reason you don't like Bruno Mars or Blurred Lines,

they just think it's maybe a bit kitschy or a bit trashy. By the third person to come up to request Ebba. Don't ever compare Blurred Lines to Ebba ever again. No, but it's the same thing. Overplayed. Yeah. Not the remix of Gimme Gimme Gimme. Soimme so i said to them look if you

really want abba you need to go to the bride and get her permission for us to play abba so she did she oh my god this is gonna tell me everything i need to know about this bride and she came over to me she goes we have to break the abba band and i was like that's the right thing to do she goes but if i'm breaking the abba band i'm announcing it. She goes on the microphone and she goes, I said no ABBA at this wedding, but I was wrong. Oh, like obviously a big deal for Yeah, I was wrong. Here is ABBA. And everyone goes, yeah!

Which song? We went with Dancing Queen. Oh, hell yeah. The best ABBA song is Gimme Gimme Gimme. What about Waterloo? Waterloo's a ripper. Gimme Gimme Gimme slaps. What about Super Trooper? I'm not saying they're not good songs.

Gimme, gimme, gimme your love at midnight. The remix? Have you heard the fucking remix? Yeah, but not at a wedding. Why not? Not at a wedding. Because she already has a man. It's my wedding.

And it's probably before midnight. Yeah, your wedding you can have it. I can play whatever remix I want. But your mum will want us to play the original. Nah, my mum won't give a man. It's my wedding. And it's probably before midnight. Yeah, your wedding you can have it. I can play whatever remix I want. But your mum will want us to play the original. Nah, my mum won't give a shit. All she'll want is the original Elvis stuff. She'll be steamed. Or Bee Gees. Oh, Bee Gees. My mum, if we didn't play

Bee Gees, she would lose her mind. She'd lose her bees and her gees. So any weddings do like they want you to request songs? Like they want you to specifically? Or do you like curate beforehand? Some weddings ask you to add a song with your RSVP. And then that last thing gets given to the DJ. It's a good idea and it's a bad idea because not everybody has good taste.

That's true. And if you show up expecting your song to be played, it still has to be curated. You know, you still have to go, yes, yes, no, no, yes, no. My brother had a QR code where you could send in your request to the DJ. That's good, yeah. Yeah, it was quite cool. And then I think the DJ just picked and choose.

That's what you want the DJ to do. You want them to go. They took creative control over it. I always remember in the ice rinks when I was a kid, there would be a DJ there in the little booth, and you'd go up and request the song, and he would write it down and then be like, yep, that'll play soon. Yep.

In fact, I don't think it was the ice rink. I think it was the roller rink. Are you the type? And then you wait for it. Yeah, and then he'll never play it probably because. I just hope that you go home. Yeah. Yeah, it's coming up soon.

I was like, guys, I requested a song and then we were all waiting for it. Never happened. Are you the type of DJ that hates people requesting? Yep. Ah, see, I disagree. Like at a wedding, you need to be ready. No, you are. Yeah.

But still. Oh, but then I guess. You don't mind good requests. What's a shit request? Anything that is way outside of the music that people are enjoying. Not the music the DJ is playing, but if the dance floor is clearly enjoying likes hip-hop or something like that. And you come up and you're like, can you play Sit Down, Be Humble?

That's a bit extreme, but just if you want to change genre. If you're like, everyone's enjoying a certain thing. Can you play Bingo Boys? Hey, can you play some like BGs for an example? You go, yeah, but we're doing this at the moment, but we could do that soon. You can't. Are you saying you can't mix BGs with 2000s?

No, you can. It's a bad example. The BG slaps no matter what. Let's be real. It does. It really does. BG goes very good at a wedding. I was going to say it would go super well at a wedding.

It's got that vibe about it. Where people have heard it enough where everyone will know it. You know, certain BG songs anyway. Oh, like come on. You can tell I'm in. Remember when we did this for Friday, okay? And murdered it. Did you? Find it. See if it's in the system. You can tell by the way I use my walk

I'm a woman's man, no time to talk You think I'm a woman's man Shaped around, so I'm a woman's man Alright, it's okay You can walk the other way I had to hurt his voice for sure. Claude and Clint are both frantically looking for it. You know my mum said this was her most favourite Friday Oatmeal we've ever done.

Ever. Are you ready? Yeah. I'm gonna get a laugh Get low on the people on the dance floor I'm thinking of love. Get low, one of the people on the dance floor. No, play it from the start. You want to hear the whole thing?

No, just the first couple of lines. I feel like... God, is that what it sounded like? I feel like I did better than that, but shit. That's bad. Here it comes. This is Breeze Friday Oki, everybody. Breeze.

You know what? We should revisit these. I think, you know. This is your mum's favourite. I think, was it this one? Shit, that's bad. This is a real only a mother could love situation. Have we done any other BG songs? I doubt it.

That's the only one? Have we done an Elf? Oh, so you didn't. Nah. Nah, so you need to redo yours. Fuck off. You didn't do falsetto. That's sacrilegious.

I sound hungover. You sound stuffed up. Maybe that was before your nose surgery. Oh, that'll be it. Yeah. See? That's what the people wanted. What would you do for every other song?

That was your moment Staying alive Staying alive Why do I always just sound Like the creepy guy From Family Guy? You're in challenge I mean no sorry you don't

No you don't Fuck you Let's see you give it a crack Staying alive I'm harmonising with you Staying alive I've got all the people I'm a dance for See you guys later got all the people on the dance floor.
