Ep. 001 Superstar Diaries Podcast
In the first episode of Superstar Diaries, Brad and Shawn dive into a mix of stories that are as random as they are entertaining. They start with a debate over their DJ set arrangement—a surprisingly spirited conversation that highlights just how particular these two can be. From there, things get more personal as they share some of their fashion and laundry habits, proving even superstars deal with everyday quirks.
The chat quickly takes a turn into the bizarre as the duo discusses potential UFO sightings in New Jersey. (Yes, you read that right.) Between the laughs and speculation, the topic shifts to holiday parties—specifically the over-the-top invitations they’ve received. Naturally, this leads to a vivid recounting of one particularly wild event at a mega-mansion packed with amenities you’d expect from a movie set.
Brad doesn’t hold back as he shares stories from his career, including unforgettable moments like meeting Puff Daddy and gambling with high-stakes legend Don Johnson. These tales are equal parts surreal and hilarious, giving a glimpse into the highs (and occasional chaos) of their lives as DJs.
On a lighter note, the duo takes a nostalgic trip down memory lane, talking about their favorite video games and how gaming became a big part of their downtime on the road. They even touch on the rebuilding of their music studio, exploring how new AI plugins are transforming their creative process.
The episode wraps with Shawn recounting an outrageous incident involving the Stafford Brothers and a wheelchair—just one of many unexpected twists that seem to follow them everywhere. From star-studded parties to marathon DJ sets for royalty, this episode is packed with the kind of stories only Brad and Shawn could deliver.
