Grant Bass and the Fat 32s

In this episode we sit down and talk with C Squared DJ and music producer Grant Bass (AKA _IMHOTEP_).

I didn’t intend to talk racism with Grant it just sort of came up. I intended to talk to him about his experience as both a talented Wedding DJ/MC and up and comer in the club scene. Somewhere along the line cultural influences in music got brought up and we briefly talk about the racism that Grant experiences both in the club and in weddings.

Grant can be booked for weddings through C Squared Events https://csquaredevents.com
You can also check his music on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2bRgPwwjoTzJU0jNzWIJpz

Lauren Gonzalez and the Carole Baskin who Ruined 2020

Lauren Gonzalez has done just about everything in her time in the wedding biz. I (Mike) met her at Ponte where she started out as a wedding coordinator. I really got to know her at Temecula Creek Inn and then got to work with her at Michelle Garibay Events where she is a coordinator. Sitting down with her was fun and I hope you enjoy it.

Domenica Prestininzi and the Host Wearing the Clothes They Slept In

Today I sit down with Domenica Prestininzi of Domenica Beauty. This episode is a lesson in when a dude tries to see if he can chat with a make up artist friend for 45 minutes with no prep and make it interesting. I chose this as the third episode because I wanted to have a two episodes where I could say see I know what I am doing before the one that could grind it to a screeching halt.

Come along as Domenica and I discuss, what constitutes pajamas, whether guys should get make up and if everyone really knows her dad.
