The wisdom of Pitbull
Scott and Chris were still processing the previous day’s visit from Pitbull. His phrases had sounded so motivational that Scott assembled them into a relaxation recording designed to sink into the listener’s mind during sleep.
“Good things come to those who wait” sat alongside Pitbull’s description of music as painting the picture of his life. The interview had given Scott both the guest he had pursued for five years and an unexpected library of affirmations.
Rhianna finishes Bingo
Rhianna Dhillon returned to Innuendo Bingo after losing control so completely in her previous appearance that Scott had ended the game early. She promised to finish every clip this time.
The commitment held. Rhianna and Chris sprayed their way through the full selection, allowing Scott to announce a genuine completion rather than another abandonment. Attention then moved to Thursday’s booking of Jack Barakat and Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low.
Matt learns French
Matt, the David Guetta lookalike, had completed two half-hour French lessons. His agency believed speaking French would make the visual resemblance more convincing, particularly if he were booked for Chris’s girlfriend’s sister’s wedding.
Basic introductions went reasonably well. Scott then secretly supplied Chris with much less useful questions and treated them as phrases any international DJ should understand. Matt was asked why his badger was so large and whether he could hoover a beaver, leaving him convinced that his teacher had neglected essential vocabulary.
The prank did not end the plan. Scott reminded Matt that he had taken only two lessons and should not demand his money back, but suggested requesting more advanced material next time. The wedding performance still depended on him looking confident, saying very little and allowing a pre-mixed set to do most of the work.
A developing impersonator
Matt looked enough like Guetta to attract bookings, but did not yet sound French enough to complete the illusion. The show therefore concentrated on the handful of phrases he might need between arriving and starting the pre-mixed set.
The show had nevertheless moved further than anybody expected when the wedding search began. Alan Titchmarsh had not replied, but “David Guetta” was learning a language and preparing for work.
