1:18
I've been a fan of the Wake Up Show I was listening early on I've been a fan
1:25
of this guy Yeah When I saw he was in here I was like "Yeah bro This This is
1:31

2:11
my verse Yes So this is what I mean legendary This is wild This this whole thing is wild for me So but it's so
2:18
crazy Randle before you walked in he shared with us that he is an introvert And me as a fan like you just growing up
2:25
listening to EPMD and watching Eric do production with so many other artists including himself I would have never
2:32
have taken him for an introvert you know because I remember so amazing singing and laughing all the videos all the fun
2:39
stuff It didn't strike me as that Um you being able to do Sway listed so many of
2:44
your talents Uh are you introverted or extroverted i'm an introvert Really yeah
2:50
I'm an just by nature an introvert I find a lot of I mean a lot of artists are introverts you know because they got
2:56
it in them and in daily life it's like still in them and then through their art
3:02
they just get it out you know wow That's what I find Yeah They find themselves
3:08
through their art You're a LA guy too right yep Yeah Born and raised Let's go man All right Let's go Let's go All
3:16
right Hold up baby Now you from LA too i'm from the planet Earth Was my place
3:23
of birth Born to be the sole controller of the universe
3:33
Yo yo he's super hip Yo he's a hip hop I
3:39
already know that That's why I knew I could throw that out All right Yo when I
3:44
mentioned the good life what do you think of uh the good life Yeah that was uh uh at the uh L Mer Park right yes
3:53
Right I mean I I never made it out there but Freestyle Fellowship I mean I know
3:58
all the I'm aware of all the stuff that happened there Yeah But that counts Yeah Yeah Yeah And I would listen to stuff
4:05
you know I listen to Mike at 9 and AC alone All of them I was big into them
4:11
And see this is um deeprooted LA hip hop history right you know um M freestyle
4:19
fellowship um um bigger B all these guys you know um when you think of King T
4:25
right the liquid crew you think of exhibit and you know Raz Cass and all of
4:31
these different guys Raz he was one of my favorites when he'd come on in on your show Yeah Right Uh whenever he do
4:37
his re I mean there there was a handful of folks whenever they'd come on I'd be like oh my god they're on They're on Who
4:43
were they was it uh Juice love Juice And he was off the top Right Yeah Uh uh and
4:49
Jesus He's going let him live his dream right
4:54
now I loved uh I loved uh well when Eminem
5:01
came on I was that was you know But did you hear it live i heard some of it live
5:07
I heard some of it on I mean I would record it on on cassette tape even at a
5:12
certain point and then uh and I remember hearing a lot of I remember afterwards
5:19
waiting for it to come out you know somehow and I think maybe on some bootlegs it would come out and I would
5:26
listen and uh uh uh and then eventually you know it was more accessible But I but I I would hear it live on top of I
5:34
would you know record it have it recorded and friends would give me their recordings and by the way Eminem is on
5:41
our TV right now in the studio Crazy Oh my gosh we got a we got a ghost Like
5:46
anytime we bring up artists on the New York TV always their video pop up out of
5:51
nowhere man I don't know why I swear it's a ghost of the hip-hop It's a good ghost but nonetheless you know who else
5:58
I loved was um I I loved Motion Motion man He was dope Yeah Wow I loved uh
6:07
Oh and Thirst in the How How he would come on just real unique Let me
6:13
give some context okay because motion man um and e I'm not we used to play you
6:19
motion because motion was somebody came out of all city records which was king tech and my uh label at that time city
6:25
production So we had motion man we had the group the bums with the vocalist and dwise we had Mr me you know we had all
6:33
of these dope ass MC's and Motion was un he probably had one of the most unorthodox rap styles in the game And he
6:42
was good friends with Cool Keith from Ultimate Oh that's that explains it cuz cool Keith style is way out there Yeah
6:48
Right And so Motion and these were all people doing it on the West Coast So Far Side you you know you come from that
6:55
area Oh Safir his nomad Yeah Yeah Hobo Junction
7:00
Oh that the the whole highro he's bugging me out right now because these names I don't know but but
7:07
I'm looking at him and he looks 37 Oh no So but I'm saying I'm going to get
7:13
Oh no That's what I'm saying So when you're saying you back there I'm like he was like did you hear the the the Hobel
7:20
Junction hieroglyphic battle no I did Of course yes Yeah we did that in the Bay
7:27
but we broadcasted it on on 92.3 to beat at the time as well Yes No I heard that
7:32
I remember being just frozen Yeah Who's Hobo Junction did they from Hobo
7:38
Junction yeah they're from the back Safir and his brothers Saf Yeah So that was his crew and they they really all
7:44
grew up together right the Hobo Junction with Safir and Hieroglyphics the Souls of Mischief and everybody Dale and
7:50
everybody They all and and Opio's father was me and King Tech's attorney Oh wow
7:56
Yeah Michael Ashurn Opio I'm a big Opio fan Yeah Opio Incredible T we don't see
8:03
That's the point I was going to make E So Randall you had the blessing and the pleasure of listening to Sway and King
8:09
Tech at your regular You know what I mean me and E being on the East Coast you only got to Sway and King Tech First
8:16
of all you heard about them first And it's like who is this Sway and King Tech and hopefully your label will send you
8:22
out there your rep to go be on their show because it started to hit on the East Coast that it was very important
8:28
that you to go there right so you had to pay that respect for them And then these
8:34
tapes started to come out you know what I mean like yo who are these people that's when I started to have respect
8:39
for West Coast I didn't really like before NWA they was shocking to me
8:45
because I was hearing about lyricists from the Sway and King tech show you know so this was different I couldn't
8:52
figure out what happened you know because it was like you see these dudes but that's not what I was hearing
8:58
through the Sway and King text show And now E can attest to that cuz these names you only heard about them through y'all
9:04
first way to be honest So you had it on the regular for me and E you had to go find this Yes You had to go find it that
9:10
that th those name y'all mentioning Yeah Whatever I wouldn't it would be messed up because they would ask me if they ask
9:17
me hip-hop questions and you were saying what he was saying to him I look crazy Yeah Cuz I really don't really know about kind of like you know back then is
9:25
7879 either No I I know about grandmother Okay So when people go back
9:33
and be like you know even though Cass is whatever and the best to ever do it you know whatever I don't really I wasn't
9:40
I'm from Long Island So so those Bronx tapes that was circulating that people
9:47
had I never heard none of them That's another thing But you were also busy
9:54
creating the culture Well Well I mean but I still can't I'm still the late part of I'm the latest EPMD was the last
10:03
the last one of 88 to come I came out 88 November Yeah Really 89 So So I had I
10:09
was able to watch That's why MC Light Crim Understand was my inspiration Of
10:15
course Rock Kim inspiration Chaos One Biz Public Enemy I was able to hear all
10:20
that So me coming out whack wasn't going to happen right i had a blueprint of
10:26
what was all out before we came And like Sway always break down the difference for us between Los Angeles and the Bay
10:33
and the sound So he mentioned Long Island To us that was like way out there That was a foreign place You know you
10:40
thought Jersey couldn't get in Long Island If it wasn't for PE we wouldn't have known about Long Island I'm I'm
10:48
curious too being introverted and and you're an actor so you know you got to get into roles and and and play
10:55
characters You're a writer You got to write roles and and and characters as well What So how did m how does music
11:02
play a part in in that process for you when you're acting or even when you're writing
11:08
um I don't know I feel like music you know I'm just such I've been such a big fan of music and I just feel like it's
11:16
just in me So whatever I've absorbed comes out some way you know so I don't
11:24
really uh I I don't I don't see like a direct you know I'm not like a musician
11:30
Uh but will you listen to music in the dressing room i'll listen to music in the dressing room I'll have music
11:35
playing in the background when I'm writing I'll have you know there's always music you know always at all
11:41
times So it's it's a big part of my uh my life and my just kind of zone getting
11:48
into a zone you know Um uh uh and yeah and it just sparks up so many things you
11:55
know It just bring always sparks up new new ideas new thoughts you know Yeah You you you're
12:01
Korean What's your descent yo the illst beat boys the illst for those who don't
12:07
know what I'm talking about breakers Yes Come from Korea Yo why do you think that is dudes are strong and small So
12:20
I don't know There's a movie called Planet B Boy Planet B Boy Right That was the first movie I took my uh my now wife
12:27
to The first date we ever went on You took her to see Boy I took her to see
12:32
Planet B Boy at the New Art Theater in in in in uh Los Angeles and uh um and
12:40
they you know it was a B boy competition and and um Korea was you know a part of
12:46
that and they and they won the competition you know and my wife is Korean and I was like oh this might be
12:52
you know this will be good to take her to this movie Did that work or was she bored she loved it Yeah Yeah Yeah So so it was
13:01
a good way to I mean we're together 15 years You owe it to hip-hop Yeah Yeah I
13:07
do I do That's good I I like that Even when you did u Fresh Off the Boat right
13:13
yeah Yeah That was paying homage Yes In many ways to hip-hop culture It was It
13:19
was It felt like very uh I don't know It just felt very like the universe like
13:26
gave me that gig you know for a lot of reasons was this Asian-American family on TV which was you know hadn't been
13:33
done in a very long time And and uh you know I was always into Asian-American
13:39
studies into the community And then and then also the hip-hop angle of it you know getting to meet so many rappers who
13:45
get you know who were guest stars and uh uh uh and having the music in the show
13:51
it just felt very full circle to me Yeah man Give this guy a round of applause Nobody We can sit up here We I know we
13:58
got to talk about the residence but damn it That ain't why you're here You know that right that's why I'm here That's
14:05
why I'm here Too good But Sway really quickly Randall
14:10
can actually Oh what's up Rand mike was Hey what's happening speaking of B boy
14:15
Sway at the beach I don't know if you saw Randall doing the J Hut tunnel walk but he is known as the B boy with his
14:20
pop lock Like you crushed your B boy I don't know I don't know I was nervous
14:25
about that But you did what you was popping and locking But I was I was in a breaking crew like way back in when I
14:32
was in elementary school I was in a little break dance What was that called i don't We didn't even have a name It was just a bunch of us and we'd bring
14:39
out the cardboard Yo DB get just begun Jimmy Caster ready for me
14:47
Hold that on whenever you're ready DB So you did Jennifer H You hear that what
14:55
you come on Randall you want to stand up You're not going to There you go
15:00
There you go There you go There you go man
15:06
All right Get down in the spirit tunnel That was smooth That was smooth It was a
15:12
nice one Yo we going to battle with a show over I love it Rand
15:19
You're such a joy and I wanted to tap into because you've been um such a vocal
15:24
advocate for Asian-American representation in the media and obviously you've contributed to that
15:30
representation in so many different fashions but I'm wondering for you when was the last time you saw yourself
15:38
reflected in another's work where you actually felt seen as a viewer the the
15:44
last time or the first time maybe both There you go Gosh the first time you know the first time was uh Pat Marita
15:52
Wow Early like when he was on like Happy Days Yeah Was he Louis on Happy he was
15:58
Arnold Arnold Arnold on Happy Days On Happy And then when he when he would pop in on uh uh uh Sanford and Yeah
16:06
Au with the restaurant inside of his spot Cincinnati was hilarious And then
16:11
it's seeing like an Asian-American you know like this was like an Asian person on a TV show who who didn't speak with
16:17
an accent was clearly like from LA you know or somewhere familiar you know that
16:23
was that was probably the first time Yeah Yeah And it left a big impression on me early on And what about the last
16:30
time like just you being on the viewer side because it's important obviously to be a part of it collaboratively but I
16:37
also feel like it's a different experience to just be viewing the big screen or the small screen like the rest of us and still feel seen I think I
16:45
think that show Beef was like Oh yeah that was crazy Yeah crazy That show Beef
16:51
was like "Oh this is like like me you know like folks I grew up with." That was hilarious too It was Yeah Yeah Yeah
16:59
That was probably the last time Do do you um do you when you take on roles do you do you do you try to avoid certain
17:07
characters or certain roles that might lean into stereotypes or Yeah You know I I would say that they they come come
17:13
around a lot less now Like I think the industry is just more conscious of you
17:19
know not not being overtly stereotypical you know But but yeah I mean there's
17:25
always like you know whenever a part would come there's always like a little bit of a inner conversation like okay
17:31
like what what what is this part like based on you know is it like a is it a
17:37
human being like is there a an opportunity to fill out this character
17:43
and to make the character uh a a real person or is it or is the nature of the
17:48
role just there to to to be you know whatever stereotype you know Then then
17:53
it's kind of like I don't need to do that Are you at the point now where roles are being offered to you or do you
17:59
still have to audition uh pretty pretty much offered at this point Yeah Okay
18:09
Congratulations because what people don't know you work really hard for that You know it's a long time coming for
18:16
something like that So I mean I'll still audition every now and then if it's like a real like "Oh my gosh I got to I got
18:22
to throw my hat in for that." But but usually it's offer Congrats Put the work in for that You earned that Randall Park
18:29
hip hop Thank you You ain't nothing but You ain't nothing but a hip-hop head man Good man We seen your type before right
18:37
um it's I want to talk about the residents because you have such a allstar cast of folks man But but you
18:45
had an allar cast of folks now on Wild and Out Oh yeah When you look at how Cat
18:51
Williams you know Nick Cannon you know you could never know what would happen with uh what some of these characters
18:58
like DC Young Fly all these different people have gone on to become humongous including yourself right yeah When I was
19:04
doing it uh Cat was in the cast Um uh uh
19:09
Mikey Day was in the cast Uh Taran Kllum Day Davis Corey Hulkcom It was a It was
19:17

19:29
Did you do it for fun or you were doing it with hope you know i mean both you
19:35
know i mean that was that was my first like somewhat regular gig and so it was
19:41
like a big in a lot of ways I credit Nick for for you know giving me my first kind of big break you know because I had
19:48
a steady job for uh uh a few seasons and that was like huge for me because I just
19:54
needed to pay rent number one but then also to be on this show with all these great comedians and then also the
20:00
hip-hop element to it was just uh uh it it was you know so Fun So fun How much

20:52
intimidated Yeah Yeah I mean heavy hitters Yeah Heavy hitters What is that like for you uh you know at this point I
21:00
I don't get so nervous just because I've I've worked with a lot of heavy hitters and and I found so many of them are
21:08
super nice you know really kind and and that's probably a testament to why to their longevity you know they're
21:14
professional they're kind uh uh uh gracious easy to work with and and and I
21:20
found that with uh most of the the legends I've worked with So so working with uh someone like Jean Carlo or Usuzo
21:27
Aduba the great Uzo Aduba is just like so fun So fun Yeah Very very very
21:33
beautiful people It's interesting E sometimes the ones that made it are the nicest and the ones who haven't yet be

your back my guy Always got your um Randle I love The Residence It's one
26:20
of my top shows of the season Um Oh I love that I think it was brilliantly done Um I thought it was like comedic
26:27
gold but I'm really curious about the dance that you and Usuzo did Um I
26:32
thought you were such a great it's an ensemble cast obviously but her character is a center as a detective and
26:38
so she's placed out front both in physical space when you two are paired up How did you guys do that dance
26:45
because you played it perfectly of when to to jump in and take the lead comedic scenes and then when to fall back I
26:51
thought you guys danced perfectly Yeah I mean I think A lot of a lot of the
26:56
credit goes to Paul William Davies who who created the show and wrote the show
27:01
You know one thing about that show is we were a word for word show We we could not improvise We couldn't stray from the
27:07
script I mean we had if we got one word wrong we had to do it again you know So
27:13
a lot of Yeah So a lot of that rhythm was was was in the writing you know it was there in Paul's writing And then and
27:20
then also the great Usuzo you know the great Uzo Aduba She you know I was just
27:25
like "Oh my god I'm acting with Usuzo Aduba." And uh uh and she was just so
27:30
great gracious We ran the lines over and over again We really kind of uh uh built
27:36
built that rhythm but also we just had a natural kind of rapport and I think that that kind of made its way into the uh
27:43
into the um the characters right man randle Park is here man The residence is
27:48
