2015-01-07
hey what's up everybody i am brian Tong and i am super stoked to introduce to you you know the face direct or produce or a rapper entertainment ambassador also won a quite honestly one of my favorite movies of all time drumline thank you sir one band One sound that's right on the stage Nick Cannon live here make some noise everybody BTW what up baby what's up how's your CS going CES has been amazing you know i have the title i am the entertainment matters ambassador sounds very important i'm in the bachelor of i get to do peace treaties in macedon yet all that good stuff now it's been a lot of fun and I've been seeing some amazing things and obviously my job as the ambassador is to kind of bring the world of entertainment and tech together which you guys are doing as well so I don't know why they need me here cuz you're here well you're kind of entertainment part you know what I mean what I'm saying is it's just that cool idea that everybody understands that you can't have one without the other I mean obviously in the world of entertainment with that's how we consume entertainment is through Tekken with tech you know we got to make the content that is focused directly on the new tech devices and stuff and at that enhances that experience so it's pretty cool you know I think also and this is this is not any brown-nosing we've seen entertainment matters ambassadors in the past oh that did not have any street cred like they they might be entertainers maybe but I mean you have been at CES before people knew you were coming to see us before this title years and you've seen a lot of tech tell me about like you know what drew you here to see us years ago uh honestly is a few things one money no that's why they're all here to you know honestly I mean that the business of tech is we all know that's why we're all here is tremendous and early on i always say it was probably doing it was the big headphone boom uh five to seven years ago and i was kind of on the ground level a lot of that and had some extremely successful business with with monster and that business continued to grow into the world of tablets and you know flash drives and things like that my company incredible has kind of flourished in this in this area and it's been such an amazing learning experience for me and like you said I didn't come out here to kind of be flashy and all that stuff you you look at how I did let's be really what you want to see flashy we always like to show off the bling here on the stage tech paid for that that's technically incredible whoa incredible watch right there no but honestly when I first came out here I came to learn a few years ago I had never been out here before and I was one of those people's like hey I have some products I want to figure this out and you know a few years later you know it kind of all made sense in and luckily I can be one of those success stories to say hey I went to see us and I made quite a few business deals here I mean we launched a 7-inch tablet last year at CES that we exclusively had a QVC and now this year you know we're launching our 10 inch tablet and we're growing and we're doing also so it's it's really exciting to where each year I actually uh my business kind of goes to the next level in the space attack so I feel privileged yet now you talk about people being here for money but also people are here for passion and I think sometimes forget like you know as an artisan traitor that these are actually things that you want to do like to you sometimes I know you hear flak on the internet about like this and that like oh he's not really in the tech game but how do you like responder address that type of stuff you know it depends where you where you want to start I always go back to tell everybody man I was a radio shack kid you know any like really i would go to radioshack every week that was my favorite place that's the place i got my first DJ equipment keyboards that's where I would go by RCA cables and figure out how to hook the telephone up to the television well you know like I was that kid uh and then growing every I'm a gamer you know me what are you game in right now what's the lit you know I know you're busy guy what's their last game that you were actually feeling I mean it it's interesting because I'm definitely a sports do because of you know everything from the two cage Madden's and all of that I love those uh but the multiplayer games I've always been a huge fan of that so no the halos of the world and stuff like I get down with that a little bit um but then I like to be I hate to say but grand theft is always been my favorite why you hate to say that because I decision that's that's my game you know it has been my game says but you know the sense the PlayStation days um but honestly it's just being a gamer I'm definitely been in this space being somebody being a DJ I mean I have to be in this space I mean everything from I've been you know buying equipment music equipment since you know I was an adolescent and so it's like I'm i guess i qualify as a techie on so many different levels um so this is my I live this life but I think we instead of trying to kind of wave that flag like I'm attacking we're all techies at the end of the day you know everybody wants to have the newest phone everybody wants to have the experience of whatever tech is to make your life better and more enhanced so I feel like that's what I've learned at CES 2015 is that you know the the previous years would be like hi how do we make your life easier how do we bring everyone together I feel like this year's about enhancing the experience the own personal experience how do you make your experience better and that's what I'm seeing everything from the wearables to of every wireless to virtual reality to driverless cars it's like yo we know that there's stuff that's already out there but these are things that can make your life better so kind of really just hit all the key bullet points a CEO you did your tutor title right there that's paying off ok we um as an entertainment matters ambassador I found this pic that was kind of used to associate you with this and I liked it you know as an entertainer we like to get into like what is your mind thinking when you do some of these poses so I don't know if the people in the back uh have an ability to pull that picture of yeah there we go what is Nick Cannon thinking at that moment what's your motivation right there was the next business i can buy uh no you know i was actually that was that was I was trying to be the inner / businessman entrepreneur I call it a otra parte nur uh that's you know because if you notice like it's very colorful out of you my socks are like like The Wizard of Oz which socks if you see they're like all striped you can see them right there but like the cut it was but at the same time I was still trying to be a businessman so that's that's the Entrepreneurship retainer poles you also got a little bit of thinker action ok yeah i was outside of you know yeah I say that yeah exactly now also um this is this is a fun one I don't know if any of you guys or many of you know this now a little while ago you broke or you hold the record you know what I'm going at I do I hold the record for the most selfies taking at one time with uh other people not just off myself Oh many how many did you hit in like that it was it an hour how long was supposed to be right i think it might have been an hour i think we did something it was like somewhere around 400 selfies are you in an hour we have any of you even come close to that I thought it was that I had to go up and down the line and then there was it was a lot we were actually trying to break a few World Records that day it was about how many selfies you can do with individuals then we did the longest chain selfie so we took one phone and everybody had to take the selfie and pass it along with the next person so we we broke a few World Records that day in the world of selfies clapping for that he's happy about that that is there yes an accomplishment that will go down in history of Nick Cannon eventually absolutely now uh do you know have you heard this though that the Year 2015 has by some experts been claimed to be the year of the Belle fille I don't know if you know what the the yo yeah what is that the belfie is a booty selfie uh yeah I don't want to partake in there okay you don't you don't want to say i want to start it today i I'm because I don't really like my booty
