The First Friday Love Letter That Became Chain Mail

Rex joins The Kauzum Effect to talk about his journey as a DJ, announcer for the Las Vegas Lights, and executive producer of the local film First Friday.We start with Rex’s origins and how we first met while filming in a bunker-style house in Las Vegas. From there we dive into his DJ career, the craziest requests he’s ever received, and what it’s like announcing for the Lights. We also talk dating, my recent speed dating experience, and life behind the mic.Then we get into what most people are here for — the First Friday film controversy. Rex explains the sudden YouTube release while he was actively pursuing distribution, his thoughts on film festivals, and whether he would work with the director again after how the film was handled.Throughout the episode, we watch First Friday in real time while Rex gives behind-the-scenes stories and Easter eggs. We close out by talking about what the future holds for him in film, music, and announcing.LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4sNZAzJzICHoNYTNCWeJVQ?si=ff36185ba0f64544Follow Me On Socials For More Content:https://linktr.ee/kauzumCheck Out The First Friday Film Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqpwSUYsi3oFollow Rex On Socials: https://solo.to/rex/00:00 Intro 02:31 T.
