A
What's the wildest thing that happened that you didn't expect to happen? Besides falling in love off camera?
B
There was like, you know, someone punched a hole in the wall at one point. That was pretty crazy.
A
Welcome back to the bill pod, where authenticity trumps authority. So if you're a little confused about BILF stands for or what we do, we love to showcase bosses in their own right. From women in the boardroom to icons to reality TV stars. Well, I am super stoked today, even though you can't be offended that I've never watched your show.
B
No offense.
A
Ever. You're not offended, right?
B
Too busy doing business.
A
Yeah, Biffing. I'm bilfing. That's what I'm doing. I'm biffing out over here. Yeah. So I. But I am really excited because from what I understand, like, you're an icon right now. So welcome to the show, Nick Woo. Yeah, I know. You're so. This is like Nick's highlight that he came to the bill.
B
Yeah. Thank you for having me.
A
Well, thanks for coming. So, all right, we're going to just get into it. You ready?
B
Cool. Let's do it.
A
All right, so I'm. I'll try. Try to be not inappropriate.
B
I mean, yeah, whatever. It's your.
A
But I am. I'm a little inappropriate, but it's okay. All right, So I. So as somebody that really has never watched the show, I'm really just curious about the backstory prior to getting on reality tv. Well, how does one choose that they want to go into reality tv?
B
It wasn't much of a choice. They reached out and it was kind of just a joke at first. And I kept doing the interview process and kept messing around, just being myself goofy. And it just kept getting further and further. And then I was doing medical tests and psych evaluations, and then all of a sudden I was in Fiji and that's. It didn't even feel real until I was in the house.
A
But prior to that, you were a nurse.
B
Yes, and a model.
A
Mostly a nurse model or a model who was a nurse or was that like.
B
It was more like nurse than model. Get my degree, get my license, become a model. And then was doing that for a few.
A
So not only are you good looking, but you have brains too, so. Beauty and brains.
B
It's been a while since I graduated, but yeah, it's okay.
A
I mean, listen, you got to do what you got to do. So you get on reality TV and you blow up. You become like a huge icon right now. Like, you're this huge heartthrob I know, like my daughter, her friends, everybody I know watches this show. Okay. So. So prior now, I would ask you a lot of questions about Love island, but I'm really curious about what the show has done for you.
B
Yeah. So I think what I didn't realize going into the show was that, you know, the whole purpose of it is to find love and be in this house in Fiji. But the. I think I didn't know about the rewards that it would reap afterwards and how much of, like, business was incorporated into it and how it's become like my full time career and job now.
A
What, just being like an icon after or just going into DJing?
B
Yeah, going into DJing, going into social media, YouTube, pursuing streaming, and so many, like, different avenues that the show gives you a platform to be on. And yeah, like you said, DJing, making music, there's just so many, so much opportunity acting as well.
A
Yeah. What was your like prior to doing this? Did you always have like a passion for DJing or.
B
Yeah, music's been like a big thing of mine. I was in a fraternity in college.
A
Which fraternity?
B
Delta TA Delta. Are you familiar?
A
I mean, I know a little bit.
B
Okay.
A
I know, I know. Delta Delta Delta. How can I help you? Help you? Help you. Like, I know that kind of stuff.
B
Yeah, I went to FAU in Boca, so that was like.
A
I went to fau.
B
No way.
A
Yeah. But I'm much older than you, so I went like, it doesn't matter when I went.
B
Graduated 2020.
A
I love you. You're in my. Yep. I graduated in 2020. Yeah.
B
So we're only three years apart.
A
But I did go. I went for my master's for a little bit.
B
Okay. For what?
A
Criminal justice.
B
And you didn't. You decided not to do.
A
I. It wasn't that. It was that the economy happened and I ended up going in the sales route and the sales route just. I've been there ever since.
B
Well, everything happens for a reason, I think.
A
So.
B
I don't know that I see you as a cop or a cop.
A
An attorney. Attorney. A cop. I don't. I would be a horrible cop. I would like. I would not. I'd be like, you can go. You're. Maybe you can stay. You can go. I wouldn't be a bad cop.
B
Yeah.
A
I would be a. I think I'd be a crooked cop. I hope I don't get canceled.
B
No, me too, though.
A
For sure. Right? I'd be like, you look good. We won't arrest you if I'M finding
B
a house full of money, like, taking
A
the money just a little bit. It's not gonna hurt. Who cares?
B
Is that gonna hurt?
A
No, nobody. Who cares? So, okay, so going back into it. So now you're doing this whole DJing thing and you're utilizing this from, like, what do you think this would ever happen if you weren't on Love Island?
B
I think that Love island is a catapult and, like, it just boosts your career so much quicker. And I think the whole process of becoming a DJ and making music that becomes popular and DJing, like in Vegas, at these residencies would take years and years and years. And I'm not ashamed to admit that. I know I have a lot of respect for upcoming artists and new artists that are working and putting so much work in. But I'm just grateful again to have that show to be the catalyst to quick success, I guess.
A
Maybe. Like Pauly dude.
B
Yeah. Politics the blue.
A
I love him.
B
He really is in the music industry
A
so much, and he. Well, I mean, it was smart. Look, a lot of people, there are many people that go on reality TV and they kind of don't use it to their advantage. Right. You become this because everything wears off. Everything has a shelf life.
B
Yeah.
A
So it's smart to capitalize on it now so you can catapult to you, like you said, for the future. And the future really is endless for you.
B
So that's hopefully, hopefully endless. And I think coming off the show, I, you know, you're told all the time you have to strike while the iron's hot. And I didn't even realize that there would be an iron after the show, because you're in that show with no phone, no family. You don't know what's going on on the outside, and you don't know how successful it is. And so when you get off, it's like, okay, we're going to hit the road. You know, me, my buddy Mike, who are my friends now, Mike and Corey, we did a lot of, like, bookings afterwards. And I think we. We probably did, I think 50 to 60 shows right after the show was over for, you know, in a span of three months, visiting cities five times a week, six times a week. So that's crazy. It was very intense.
A
So it was like, literally overnight. What's that? Like going from like, leading an ordinary life to, like, this whole. I'm. The whole world knows who you are. Yeah, I guess I'm the only one. No, I mean, I know that. I just didn't know. I Just don't watch the bill. Didn't know the bill. I know now, though.
B
Okay.
A
I know. I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna watch.
B
Probably don't have time for.
A
I was gonna try last night. I was gonna try to watch a little bit, but then I just got sidetracked and I didn'. I did go on Instagram this morning, and I went on YouTube and looked up a whole bunch of interviews that you did. That's good, though.
B
Yeah, that's. That's good.
A
I feel like that's good. I feel like that's, like, a step in the right direction.
B
That's more than enough.
A
So. But how is it, like, what's it like going from being, you know, just an ordinary Nick to now a whole sensation throughout the world?
B
I mean, thank you. That's. That's kind. Sensation out the world is crazy, but it's insane overnight.
A
You.
B
You start with, you know, nobody really knows you, and you come out, and now all of a sudden, you can't go to, like, a Publix or a Walgreens or movie theater, grocery store without getting noticed.
A
Yeah.
B
So, I mean, that's pretty crazy. I think what I didn't realize was the effect that it would have on my family and friends, you know, not. Not you yourself don't have a spotlight. But now it's like your family and their actions and their jobs and your distant family and it's. It's just so many things you never think about that comes with all of it.
A
What do your parents think about this? I'm curious.
B
Yeah. I mean, my dad's very conservative in the way that he, like, you know, my family actually is, like, going out onto, like, this reality show where you're kissing a bunch of people. My mom's like, oh, that's a little bit much. But I think afterwards I saw all these videos that my sister would take of them, and they were just so excited for me. And when I, you know, when I kissed my current girlfriend Alandria, and she all of a sudden, like, my dad's freaking out, my mom's freaking out, and everyone's just super excited.
A
And, well, they meet her. Well, obviously they didn't know her prior. So then all of a sudden, after the show, you come home with a new girlfriend, Right? A new girlfriend. And then what? I mean, hi, Mom, Dad, I'm home. Here's my new girl.
B
Yeah, exactly. It's like, I guess it's like going off to the. To war. You don't have your phone, you come back with A girl? Yeah, but. Yeah, I mean, I feel like they knew her because, you know, we were being filmed 35 hours total, so they were watching, like, a lot of footage of us. So maybe. I think they, like, kind of had a connection through there.
A
Nice. What's that? Like, like being. Being in this world of, like, your inclusion. Right. You're. There's nothing. Because actually I did try out for a reality TV show. Nobody knows this, but I did.
B
Which one?
A
I'm not going to tell you, but I'll tell you after. No, I'm not going to tell you,
B
but where can I guess?
A
Yes, I'll blink twice.
B
Is it. Is it Housewives of.
A
No, I didn't. I'm not a housewife. No, I would do Housewives, but no, it wasn't. It's a Netflix show that's out. There's only two seasons of it, but I. I like, they told me I would have to go to an island. I couldn't have connections with my family at all. There was a psych evaluation, which I thought was crazy to begin with.
B
It could only be so many. Is it a dating show?
A
No, it's not a dating show. I don't think my husband would be happy if it was a dating show. Maybe I don't. He probably would be happy, be like, thank God I got rid of her. But no, so. But being in, like, an inclusion, you're all. It's like you're secluded from the rest of the world. How many months are you there doing this?
B
From start to finish, you'd be there if you don't get kicked off for two months.
A
And what are you telling people where you are? You just disappear.
B
Some of them you don't know. Some of them, you know, you just drop off the face of the earth. But you can't really tell too many people because, you know, you signed. You sign your life away.
A
Your NDA. Yeah.
B
Yeah. And so, I mean, they don't really know where you are. Actually, that's not true. I had a social media manager posting stuff from the villa.
A
Oh. So you are allowed to do a little bit just like the rev up kind of thing, like the teaser, they say.
B
And then throughout the show, there's like a photographer who will send photos to the guy handling your socials and you can post throughout. So they kind of, you know, they
A
kind of know a little bit. So what's the biggest takeaway that you got from going on the show?
B
I think I would say the confidence, you know, when you walk into there, it's four you know, you have 400 cameras all around you, filming you at all times, all throughout the night, showering, doing everything. And I think that broke down a lot of my, like, insecurity about what people think.
A
Yeah.
B
And so I think moving forward, not just through, like, you know, business, but like, with friendships and making new friends and talking to people and talking to celebrities, it just had so much more confidence and how I move around.
A
Yeah, I'm sure it's. It's probably a totally different world again. You're going from, like, an ordinary life, and then here you are, there's cameras everywhere. It's super invade. Yeah, here. Yeah, it's super invaded. It's invasive. What do you think is, like, the biggest misconception people think about you?
B
I think the. Maybe the biggest Corey Q homie out here. I don't really know your true passion for music. Come on, bro.
A
Maybe that's a real. Did you have, like, the. Was that, like.
B
That's a good idea? That's a good idea. Yeah.
A
I mean, yeah, I think people would think that you kind of just, you know, DJing is cool. So, like, let me. Let me take this and run with the cool image. But is this something. Yeah, I think that's a good one.
B
I think, like, a common misconception after the show is, you know, I immediately got into DJing, and I think people would question, like, my passion for music and question the passion I had for DJing. But when you go back in my Rolodex of music festivals and concerts and all that, and, you know, there's timelines on all these photos and videos, you know, went way back before the show. So I think that passion has. Had always been there.
A
What's your favorite, like, genre of music?
B
I love, like, EDM and dubstep, but, you know, I tap into the rap and the country and the rock. I'm very, like, multifaceted in music.
A
Eclectic, if you will.
B
Eclectic, if I will.
A
Okay. All right, well, smart, good looking, Eclectic. All right. We're adding to your resume. Yeah, that's amazing. So, okay, so now you're doing this DJ thing. You're going on tour?
B
Yes. Yeah, we're on. This is my second tour now, so it consists of, I think, maybe about 20 cities in the next two months. And then, yeah, we're doing, like, music festivals and clubs and, you know, all sorts of different. Different private events and corporate events and.
A
Yeah, you know, what's that like for you? The bill? For that bill. Money, you need that built money. You got to be smart with Your bill money, though.
B
Yes, you do.
A
So after DJ. Here's a good question for you after DJing, because again, everything has a shelf life. Unless you're Pauly D, of course. Shout out to Pauly D. Shout out Paulie. I love him. But after DJing, like, what are you gonna do?
B
I mean, hopefully it continues and it progresses, and, you know, I'm starting to make more music. And, you know, once, you know, Drizzy Drake is probably the end goal here. Right. So, you know, when you have streams like that, hopefully another career won't be needed.
A
Yeah. You can always be a nurse again.
B
There's always plan B. Like, be a nurse. I want to open a med spa.
A
Oh, I would like that.
B
I still want to do that.
A
Can I go to your med spa?
B
Absolutely.
A
You'll give me a discount? Like a good.
B
Absolutely.
A
Okay. Because I love med spas. I know you can inject me, pluck me, stick me. Doesn't matter. I love it. I love the medsla.
B
I think, actually that originally that's why I became a nurse, so I could do injections.
A
That's what you wanted to do?
B
I wanted to get into aesthetics. Yeah.
A
I love that for you. I like you even more now that you're doing cc's.
B
You want?
A
Yeah, just make them bigger every single time. Doesn't matter.
B
No, no, I meant both.
A
Okay. I thought you meant. Oh, I don't know. Whatever. You know, unit, cc, you know, whatever. It's all the same thing. Okay. So people that are on Love Island. I do. I know. Like, some people actually did. I. My PR people called me and they were like, you have to ask these specific questions. So they wanted to know what advice you would have for or somebody. Or the cast now.
B
Yeah, I would say to the cast now, being original and authentic speaks through the TV more than trying to put on an act. You know, whether it be, you know, for followers or for clout, like, just go on your. Go on there. Be yourself. People will love you and gravitate and attract to you. And, you know, I think that'll make you the most successful during and after the show.
A
Is reality TV scripted? Do they ever say, all right, redo that?
B
No.
A
Or you're not allowed to say that? No.
B
I mean, I can say I saw. No. It's actually. It's very unscripted and, you know, you're just going in and maybe. I don't know if I want to go too much into this, but, you know, you're just. They make you think about your emotions a lot. It's not scripted. But, you know, they. You talk about your emotions, they want
A
to put it out of you.
B
Yeah, it's more like therapy. Almost like they want you to talk about your feelings and emotions and speak on things that maybe some people wouldn't speak on.
A
Is that somebody that you are. That somebody, like, talks about their emotions or. Not really.
B
I would say to the people I'm close with, I'll be confrontation. Maybe that's not the right word, but conversational with, like, my emotions and sharing with others, I'm not afraid to do that.
A
Okay, you mean, like, conversational. Confrontational means, like, you want to fight with.
B
Maybe, like, not as aggressive.
A
Yeah, maybe like, that's why.
B
That's what. It felt wrong when I said it.
A
And this is not scripted. Okay, what about, like, what's the wildest. If you can't talk about it, like, what's the wildest thing that happened that you didn't expect to happen besides falling in love? But, like, wildest thing that happened. Did somebody, like, lose their. There, like, come unraveled? Like, what's the craziest thing?
B
Yeah, I mean, I'll say this. Like, that wasn't aired, you know, off camera. There was, like, you know, someone punched a hole in the wall at one point. That was pretty crazy.
A
Wow.
B
And just a lot. A lot of things, like, didn't don't get aired, and it's. It's. Actually, I don't want to talk about that either, but, you know, the hole in the wall is pretty crazy. What else. What was the question again?
A
What is it? No, like, what's the craziest thing that happened? You don't have to mention any names or say anything. It could be, like, somebody, like, losing their shit, coming unraveled, you know, somebody. Whatever. Something crazy.
B
I mean, just crazy. Was every challenge that we did, you hadn't watched. But, for example, there was. There was three bases in this baseball challenge, and each base had. It was like a bathtub filled with buttery popcorn. And there were popsicles and stuff, like, deep in the buttery popcorn. And you and your, you know, you and this girl that you just met like, a week ago had to go find the baseball or popsicle in the buttery popcorn, hold it with your mouth and, like, put it on the other girl's mouth and, like, bring it out of the pit out of the bathtub of popcorn. So when you, you know, you have, like, all this. All these, like, ass in your face and, like, mouth, like, saliva all over. Like, it was butter all over. You. It's crazy. I mean, there ever ordinary.
A
Was there ever a moment you were like, wait, let me just rethink what I'm doing. Like, I want to get the fuck out of here. This is not what I really want to do.
B
Yeah, no, I mean, for the first two weeks, you're just thinking to yourself, like, what did I get myself into? You're losing sleep. You're, you know, you got butter in your butt crack from like two days ago. No, I'm joking. But there's like all the slime from all these challenges. But then after two and a half weeks, you go into those challenges after two and a half weeks and you're just like, okay, I'm clocking in. Like, this is, this is work now.
A
So that, I mean, it sounds like a good job. So what about the relationships? Did you end up, like, becoming like, good friends with people after the show or like.
B
Yeah, like, when you're, when you're on the show, it's like truly everyone's like your family and everyone's super close. It's not really like a show that's meant to, you know, fight your cast. It's, you know, you're in there together to find love, to have fun, do those popcorn buttery challenges.
A
You must have really liked that. This is like the third time you mentioned popcorn. I wish we could do that here. Maybe, Cory, maybe you can get us like a bucket of like, popcorn and like, you can show me this challenge now. Now I'm going to go have to watch this.
B
Yeah, you should watch that episode. It's actually pretty entertaining.
A
I'm going to. Now I'm definitely going to do it. So for the cast now. Okay, if you could give them besides the authentic, like being authentic, if you could give them like some words of wisdom, what would they be?
B
Be freaky deaky. I think people take full advantage, take full. Hey, you're there, you know, you're there to find love, explore your options. Don't be committed too early to one, you know, one girl. Like, definitely take your time to keep exploring different opportunities. And then what else? Yeah, just, I mean, commit to it. Like when you're in the challenges, go all in. When you know, you're having conversation about your feelings. Don't hold anything back, things like that.
A
And what was the greatest lesson that you walked away with?
B
I would say what I said earlier, that the confidence thing, that was the greatest for sure.
A
Do you think now in your, in your day to day life, like, what tools have you. Do you utilize now? You have, like, a whole business going. You have a brand going. So what tools are you using to. To keep the high energy going? Like, I see you came in here, you said you had just rolled out of bed. I would have never known your high energy, great personality. Is there something that you do to get you going?
B
I mean, besides eye drops and caffeine? No, I would say having, like, a strong team behind me, like, I wouldn't be able to do it without, you know, my agents, without Corey, Mike, and without a lot of my friends just support me. They'll come on the road. They'll help me, you know, sell my merch. They'll help me, you know, last night we had a, like, I don't remember, 300 shirts we had to bring into the villa, which is this bar where we do, like, Love island watch parties. And, you know, we're traveling on the road. You know, my friends are driving. It's just a. It's like a whole ecosystem.
A
Yeah, for sure. You have to have a small village. It takes a village to put.
B
I'm sure you understand, with. Yeah, it takes a lot to put together 50,000 employees.
A
Yeah, it takes a lot. I mean, just in general, it takes a lot to get all this going. But they. They say, like, as you climb to the top, it gets lonely. Has there been moments where you had to get rid of some people that were within your inner circle or just around you that you were like, can't come with me.
B
I've been fortunate enough to. A lot of my inner circle has stuck with me because, you know, you're. I love my friends from before the show.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, we're so tight. But on the. On the business side of things, after the show, for sure, there's been, you know, some switches and teams and just changes and, you know, when money get. Gets involved, people start acting weird and really weird. Yeah. It's just strange behavior sometimes.
A
I would say, if I could give you advice is. I would say, you know, just be careful who you surround yourself with. People show their colors, and the, you know, the higher you get, it gets lonely at the top. So just be real selective about who's in your inner circle. For sure. So you'll see that on your own. How old are you?
B
I'm. I just turned 25.
A
Oh, you're young. You have a. A whole long time to go. So this must be incredible for you.
B
Yeah, yeah, it's. I mean, it's exciting age to like, have this all come to me. I'm glad it wasn't too younger you know, I don't want to Disney star myself, but I don't want you to
A
Disney star yourself either. What do you want? Your. What do you want the takeaway for your children and your grandchildren to know about you?
B
I think like, my work ethic. I think something I respect about my dad is his work ethic as well as his honesty. Like, man has never lied to me in my life. So, you know, when all these business opportunities come, I bring it to him and he'll tell me straight up versus, you know, like a manager. I'm not saying my manager did that, but in general, like, he'll always have my best interest in me and never asks for a dollar from me. So.
A
Yeah, your family, especially your parents, will always be. They'll always want more for you than they ever wanted for themselves. That's a fact. I know that as a parent too.
B
And I would like to be a mirror of that to my kids grandkids. That's a far time.
A
Are you going to let them watch the show?
B
I. My kids.
A
Your kids? Yeah.
B
I've never been asked that, but. No, not until the age of 15 maybe.
A
No, you're not. You got to show that.
B
No, that is definitely like some PG13 almost, I would say, rated R. I'm
A
going to have to really check this show. I mean, you're buttery popcorn rated. Our stuff going on.
B
I think you're going to freak out. Like, I think it's like crazier than you think.
A
Really?
B
Yeah, Yeah, I gotta.
A
I don't know.
B
That show's like damage.
A
Would you go on another reality TV show?
B
Not a dating one, but I. I am trying to go on Dancing with the Stars. I don't know if you've heard of it before.
A
Yeah, no, I know, I. Yes, I know. You look like Gleb a little bit.
B
Gleb Glub. One of the dancers. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I would love to. That's the goal.
A
Can you dance?
B
Hell no.
A
No, you can't.
B
Not at all.
A
So why would you ever want to go on there?
B
I'm trying to learn how to dance. I want to become great. I do. I dance a lot at my shows and people, you know, I see on Twitter threads the next day that about my moves and you know, the people are clowning me, so.
A
They're clowning you about your like the white guy fraternity moves? Like the.
B
Like my shoulders and hips just don't move right. Like it's. It's not good.
A
It's a terrible situation for you. What do you think? Is one of your greatest secret talents that you have? Do you play basketball? I heard that you. I read. I was watching some Instagram something where they were talking about basketball and. Can you play basketball?
B
I. I love basketball. I can play basketball. I played in a. Can you play good celebrity game? Yeah. Yeah. I scored two points.
A
That's good. I mean, that was better than no point. Yeah, yeah.
B
It was on an ex. NBA, actually. I heard you had Jason Williams on your podcast.
A
I didn't have Jason Williams. Jason Williams happens to be my daughter's best friend's dad. Yeah.
B
Okay.
A
My daughter's best friend's dad. Yeah. So, yeah, he hasn't been on yet.
B
Okay.
A
I'm a little. I'm a little, you know, skeptical about bringing White Chocolate on. I don't know. He's a lot. He's an icon for me.
B
