0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Funeral DJ. I didn't know this was a thing. Nope,

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.840
<v Speaker 1>did any of us. I've never heard of a funeral DJ.

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, the wake is a very somber, obviously serious affair,

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 2>isn't it.

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, the wake, I can imagine it. So you know,

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 3>you do the ceremony, yeah, is that what it's called

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 3>when you do a.

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Funeral memorial service?

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 3>You do the service, that's it. You do the service,

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 3>then they bury the body and then you go back

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 3>to somebody's house. Shoesy for a wake, and that is

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 3>a bit more vibe. I can imagine the DJ the.

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Vibe when was it a wake?

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.880

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.399

<v Speaker 2>troversial song, I won't.

<v Speaker 3>playlist for a funeral.

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Then I've saved the best to this middle bit magic

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.119
<v Speaker 2>as well as being a funeral DJ. As well as

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 2>being a funeral DJ, I'm also an amateur magician. Does

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>this mean I use magic to reanimate your loved one? No,

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>that's unethical. But I could still do some basic magic

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>tricks if you want. If I was breathing some of

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.919
<v Speaker 2>the last thing I wanted. Some guy do some basic

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 2>magic tricks anywhere. Oh now, cut the coffin in half.

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, you gotta understand where he's put this

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 2>advert in. There are a lot of old people, okay,

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>post funeral friendship. Upon losing a loved one, many people

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 2>feel a void in their life. This is where I

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>come into becoming your new best face. We can go

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to cinema, hang out the beach. I have a lot

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>of free time. I get the feeling. Michael, you have

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.320
