Grab your sombreros and questionable life choices—this is a LIVE Cinco de Mayo episode of Beyond The DJ Booth, where Joe Bunn and Brian B. celebrate the only Latin holiday they truly connect with… because, well, they both really love Mexican food.

Broadcast straight from a virtual live audience session, the heat gets turned up—literally—as Brian takes on a hot sauce challenge that may or may not require medical intervention. Meanwhile, the duo dives into the hilariously honest reality of DJing Latin music as two white guys with more salsa in their fridge than rhythm in their hips.

They break down some go-to Latin tracks that cross over with any crowd—from Marc Anthony’s “Vivir Mi Vida” to the classic floor-filler “Suavemente”—with a healthy dose of humility and humor. Spoiler: there’s also a Latin-style cover of The Cranberries’ “Linger” that weirdly slaps.

But it’s not just tunes and tears—during the live Q&A portion, they field real-time questions about ceremony setups, tech upgrades, and dealing with rogue officiants. Brian recalls hauling car batteries to beach weddings pre-Bose era, and Jon reveals how they now capture content while juggling unpredictable weather and overly involved photographers.

The episode takes an unexpectedly moving turn as they share some of their most emotional moments DJing, including events for special needs communities that reminded them why they do what they do in the first place.

So whether you’re here for the tech tips, the spicy takes, or just to laugh at two guys dancing around cultural landmines with good intentions and bad hips, this episode has it all.

Hit play. You’ll never look at Cinco de Mayo (or Suavemente) the same again.
