Welcome to Season 4 of Beyond the DJ Booth ,where the weddings are wild, the carbs are canceled, and we’re just trying to survive both.

This week, we open with a musical quiz no one asked for:
Is “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly” a real song title?
(Somehow, yes. Thanks, Conway Twitty.)

It spirals from there into a hall-of-fame list of song names that make you question how anything gets past quality control in the music industry.

Then, things heat up as Joe recounts DJ'ing a wedding that was half-Persian, half-American... and 100% confusing at least rhythmically.

He's trying to mix 6/8 into 4/4 while keeping the aunties dancing and the groom’s cousin from hijacking the mic. Spoiler: He mostly succeeds.

Joe also opens up about his month-long battle with sugar, after a doctor told him he was one glucose molecule away from becoming a donut. He drops 12 pounds, avoids bread, and somehow DJed through it all with only minor rage blackouts.

Also in this episode:

• The real price of bad weather and venue flips (and why your gear deserves hazard pay)
• How to respectfully say “I have no idea what this song is, but I’ll play it” at cultural events
• And the surprising overlap between Middle Eastern percussion and Joe’s blood pressure

So grab your noise-canceling earbuds, your ketone strips, and your cultural humility.

Season 4 is here and it’s already sweating through its tux jacket.
