Ever wonder if those viral social media "hacks" are actually legitimate? In this eye-opening episode, Joe and Brian put popular online claims to the test with their own hands-on experiment. Using three Starbucks cups and some freshly brewed coffee, they debunk a widely circulated video suggesting you're getting scammed when buying larger sizes. Their real-time experiment reveals the truth behind this viral claim and sparks a broader conversation about social media skepticism.

The duo then challenges each other with the fascinating "One-Note Challenge," where they attempt to identify popular songs from just a single sustained musical note. This test of musical knowledge demonstrates the incredible ear development that comes from decades of DJ experience, with Joe sharing how he recently stunned his son by correctly naming hundreds of tracks from just a few seconds of audio each.

In a shocking segment, Joe recounts a genuinely frightening experience from a recent gig where an uninvited guest appeared at a private party carrying serious firepower. This unexpected story highlights the unpredictable nature of event work and raises important questions about safety and quick thinking in potentially dangerous situations.

The episode rounds out with a practical "Gear Corner" featuring an affordable portable fan solution for sweltering summer gigs, plus expert advice on solving the persistent problem of tripping GFCI outlets during bass-heavy performances. Their technical troubleshooting reveals that sometimes the culprit isn't what you'd expect, saving listeners potential headaches at future events.

Whether you're a working DJ or simply fascinated by the behind-the-scenes realities of the industry, this episode delivers entertainment, practical solutions, and thought-provoking discussions about the unexpected challenges that arise beyond the DJ booth.
