  Speaker 1: you got an incredible resume. Man, I appreciate you started
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: doing stand up, Yes, sir, why why? Why coming from
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the church. Honestly, I mean my father was into the ministry.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And actually it goes back even before that. I mean
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the first time I was ever officially on stage doing
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: stand up, I was about eleven years old and it
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: was auditioned North Carolina for the Apollo and it was like,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you know, it was like the Apollo used to travel
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to find, you know, different acts, and they were put
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: on small talent shows in smaller regions and in North Carolina,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: my dad I would always like, get up and you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: tell Jesus jokes in the church and stuff, and my
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: dad was like, yeah, you should audition. I put together
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a whole set when I was eleven, and then from
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: there just kept at it. By the time, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I was fifteen years old, I was a regular at
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the comedy store and Improvs in l A. So, you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: just try I knew I was doing. I was following him,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: my father's footsteps, where I was in in too much
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to be a preacher. So I was like, you know what,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and just still try to leave
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the flock. But he believed in you, you know, and uh,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you know my dad, I had an unorthodox upbringing, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: bounced back and forth, you know, amongst my parents and
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: my grandparents. But my dad always had that vision of like,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I'm raising a man and I wanted to think for
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: itself and show them so many things. So even at
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a young age that like eleven twelve, he was like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: whatever it is that you want to do, even if
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I don't really have the same beliefs, I still want
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you to to strive for your your goals and reached
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: as much successful ventures as possible. That's important. That's that's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the relationship to vision because I was I admire you,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: appreciate because of the fact that you got it at
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: such a young age. Yeah, you know, I was still
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: confused or twenty two. I was talented to do, but
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I was just confused. And and the fact that you
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: would table to need you we all have a layer confusion.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But the fact that you said, man, eleven, this is
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: what I wanted to do, right, I was still trying
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to play basketball. I was trying to fit in. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I think that it's important based on the success that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you having in such an early age. So continued success
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is that you made a decision to level. I'm gonna
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: follow this path. I enjoyed, I respected, I appreciate it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And one thing it was my my dad always say
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: think outside the box. I never forget that. I mean
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: that was when that term was was new, and it
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: was like everybody else in our neighborhood or the projects
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: were trying to do the same things. And in comedy
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: was something especially at my age, that a lot of
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: young people weren't striving to do. Uh. It was you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and I did. I looked up to the likes of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: our Senior Hall and Eddie Murphy and you know, all
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the guys on Deaf Jam and the Living Color at
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: such a young age, and you know, from mimicking them
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to like creating my own material. It was different from
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: all the kids in the neighborhood who just wanted to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: be rappers. Which I wanted that as well. Yeah, but
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it was but it was like, yo, it made me
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: stand out. So even being in the stand up club
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at fifteen, I was the youngest, you know, and I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: would be I would see everybody there, you know. It
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: was from the Chappelle's, the Tuckers, like everyone, but My
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: set was always unique because I was coming from a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: fifteen year old perspective where everyone else was talking about
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the same stuff except for me. I was thinking outside
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the box and I was standing there. And because of
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: your youth, I'm on the phone where he's in the studio,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I apologize amazing talent. And here you see, actually studio
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: would be talking and Nick, when you talk about that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: age advantage warming up, that was your first break. Tell
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: us about how that happened. They got really good launched
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you because that's what people saw you as an actor.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So here's a potential start. And that's where it actually
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: started the fire inside of me as well, because you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: being a stand up, being a kid, uh you know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I would go from the comedy clubs straight to school
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in the morning, uh you know, two hours away in
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: San Diego from l A. And then I got an
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: opportunity one night. Well you know there's always agents and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: people in the crowd, and producers from Nickelodeon happened to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: be uh in in the audience at the improv one night,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and you know, they took a meeting with me or whatever,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and they I went and saw a couple of the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: shows and I saw that there was a guy entertaining
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, about four hours while you know, they're making
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a television show. They got to keep the audience entertained
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and informed. And I never knew what that was. Obviously,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know today that's an audience warm up person. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: was like, but I could do that, you know. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: know I had had enough energy to kind of sustain
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: being up there for four hours, so I asked, you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey, let me get a shot at that.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And from there, I started on Nickelodeon doing the warm
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: up and people were just I was entertaining in the show.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: So where it got around town, I started, uh doing
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it for a bunch of shows. And then, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: being sixteen years old, you know, being able to tell jokes,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: dance rap, seeing all entertaining, well, thank you. But and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: then that showed me that there was more job is
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: than just being in front of the camp. Uh. And
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that's when I you know, got the bug for writing
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: as well. Because I was sitting back and I would
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: watch the different sitcoms or even the sketches on Nickelodeon,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and and because they were speaking to my audience, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I was writing jokes every night I was like, yo,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I could write for this as well. And that's how
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I got my first job as the youngest staff writer Intelligence.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And that was incredible because here's the deal. He was
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: killing it. Okay. You know, I was doing my thing
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: on sister sister Jamie. I think sister got sick and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that's when it because he was he was just a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: bona fide talent. But the thing that carries him differently,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: he's a you. A genuinely nice guy. Thank you. That
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that that separates itself from anything. That's because you can
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: see you you You've met a lot of talent people.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I've met a lot of talents here, but your ability
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to be nice, to be welcoming, it's what carries yourself
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in personal life as well as professionally because on stage
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you want to be a friend with. Yeah, and it's
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it's it's energy. I'm a I'm an energy person. And
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: when I was younger, I didn't really know how to explain,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you know, but uh, you know, I was just saying
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I was raised right, honestly. You know, when you walk
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: into a room, especially someone who's an entertainer or someone
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that everyone knows, you want to feel that welcoming spirit.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You want to be able to have a smile on
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: your face even if it's not the greatest day, or
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: even if you're not there to be an entertainer. But
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you gotta walk around with a good spirit and and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: exude positive energy. And you know you don't you don't
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: have to be everybody's best friend. You yeah, yeah, so something.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So I have to balance it, and you know, and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and and you have to monitor your energy as well.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That's even in business as well. You gotta make sure
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you're not uh loosely giving away your energy to things
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that have uh no fruition or have no power to them.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: So so in that order, I've I've been able to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: balance that pretty well to where I'm always kind. I'm
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: always trying to be a pleasing individual. But you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you gotta be stern. You gotta be a businessman. And
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that's the fun part about you. And you made those decisions,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you know, being a chairman, being a producer, being an EP,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: being a writer. Because in the end, because you have
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a group of friends. I always calling you like the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: lebron of You have a crew of people that have
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: been with you for a long time. You know what
• 9:15

• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the people I came to the party with, you know.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And that's the idea of to me, that's truly what
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: success is all about, when you can share it with
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: people who knew you when you didn't have anything. And

• 11:40
  Speaker 1: future wild and Out. Really trying to diversify the brand
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: more than anything, I tap into it and see how
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: many verticals I can get out of it. When I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: first created it, I knew it was I wasn't calling
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it a brand name, but I knew it was more
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of the culture. And I hadn't really seen it since
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the Deaf Jam days to where someone actually could put
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it out there in a way where people would want
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to wear T shirts, people would want to go see
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a live show people, and you could put it on
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: on any platform and would actually still succeed. And because
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: we started in a comedy club, you know, I rented out.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Uh what club was that? The Comedy Union? Yeah, and uh,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you know we we got that. I got some cameras together,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: got some friends that you know, we weren't as known
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: back then, like Kevin Hard and Cat Williams and you know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: all of those guys and everybody just came together. I
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: was like, Yo, this is this is something really cool.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And from there, I knew it could be improv school.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I knew it could be a live stage show. I
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: knew it could be a television show. I knew it
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: could be a board game. And I saw all of
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: this back then, and now I'm actually getting those opportunities
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to bring those things to pass. And you know, um
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: learning this this touring game. I mean, we're going out
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: our second time. This time we're going out with a
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: g to all the arenas. Yeah, live nation. We're going
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: all across the country on a thirty city tour, uh,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: starting at the end of the summer. And you know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: it's funny. One of the first comedy tours, the first
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: time I was ever officially even really on tour, it
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: was you took me out. We we did that. It
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: was it was a short run, but we had we
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: had some good sponsors and and we took some young
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: people out on out on the road. And I remember
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: at the time it was like myself a little j J.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Actually now I just put back on wilding out just
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: now asked me, now produce on the show. Have you
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: seen j J. Yeah, yeah, he on the show. Like so,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: but to say, like you showed me the ropes on
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of this, especially when it comes to the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: live shows and you know all the things that you know,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you produced and put forth, uh for our community. Early on,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I was just learning, man, and so now to be
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: able to sit here and say, you know, I'm doing
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the same thing and giving other young people opportunities to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: show their skill sets and talent as an outstanding, it's
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: really interesting because you know when I came to the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: tape and I came like Roushan was suited. Yeah, and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: it's so funny and it's so funny. I walked in
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and uh it was with a Dale conversation and as
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: we were as he was walking up, then they looked
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: behind they see me. They go, come on, come on,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: come on, like like I owned the building. Different it's
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: a different culture. And it's just like that comment when
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I did in two. So I really know that it's
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: special now. But you're taking this to the restaurant world. Yes,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that's exciting. I mean it's it's challenging. Uh, it's definitely challenging,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: but it's a whole new world when you get into
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the food and beverage game. Uh, there's there's different rules.
• 14:35

• 17:33
  Speaker 1: it's that field which is really which means that you
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: you you're combined so many fantastic entertainment elements and you
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: can't bring masters over here. And that's what that's what
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that's so amazing. So so so when you come to
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the cities, you do recruit or you do model searchers
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: localizes it. We might give the opportunity a lot of
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: times if there's strong comedians in the in the in
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the market. Yeah. Yeah, And we tapped in with the
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: radio stations as well, and is you know, give them
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to to showcase their talent and and and
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: while and out is built for that. It's built for
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you know, somebody may not have a five to ten
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: minutes set that they can rock in an arena. This
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: is a crazy part. I'm watching the taping right and

  Speaker 1: to bring across with the tour as well. So you
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: mentioned radio, Yes, I gotta get you back on radio.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I'm ready I'm ready. It's funny. I I did mornings
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: for again going the first time I even stepped into
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it was you know, you guys gave me the opportunity
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: when when when Steve would have a day office and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I got excited. I was like, man, I can really
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: do this. And you know, a couple of years later,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I had my own morning show in New York, you know,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: number one market. You know I was, I was going,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you know, and it wasn't even I actually stepped in
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: to rest your to wrest a radio on the mainstream.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: That's what I loved about you you know, it wasn't
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: an urban platform. Yeah. And and to be able to
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: do it, I think now I'm gonna come back and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: actually go for our people with with some wilding out
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: more than radio. We're gonna get back to it. And
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that's important because please do that first for your voices
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: need it. If there's a there's a big other than
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, there's no one else doing this. You know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: you have the Steves, you have the Tom Jones, you
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: have the Russ Paul. That's a that's an age group
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: that's plus fifty. Yeah, so there's there needs to be
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: another competitive voice to wrest a radio and your voices needed.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that you would never button down
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and say I'm an urban bosce. For the people that
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: shows in your show Wild and Out, please come back home.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Every time I'm feeling, you feed me. So I appreciate it,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and that's really important that your brand. So, so, where's
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the brand going now with the voice, because sometimes you
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: step away and you're an activist and I love that
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: about you. I was about to say, it's all about
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the community. For me, it's about giving other people out
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: for tunities. Uh. It's about opening doors and sharing the knowledge,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: wealth and wisdom that I've obtained with everyone else. I mean,
