Nash needed to rethink not only how he worked but with whom he was working.

He was in a bad place in terms of how he felt about the direction of his work. He wasn’t inspired, but worse than that, he knew he was one mess-up away from being owned or disowned.

The situation was not good at all. I had to take control, and that first started with reflecting on what was really important and meaningful to me.

The essence of what Nash came out to L.A. to do can be traced back to when he was seven years old. Once the custody schedule became more flexible, Chad would take his sons to a restaurant called Prime Time every Tuesday—because every Tuesday kids ate for free. The Grier boys would go crazy on the homemade southern buffet of pulled pork, meat loaf, okra, mashed potatoes, and anything else that was delicious and could give you a heart attack. But hands down, the best part of the meal was the ice cream machine, which, like everything else in the buffet, was unlimited.

One part of their Tuesday-night ritual was an ice cream contest. Every time they went, their dad would challenge his sons to see who could finish an ice cream cone, top to bottom, fastest. Even though his dad could eat an ice cream cone in what seemed like one bite, Nash had it in his head that he could beat him. Once, he actually did beat him. He just basically swallowed an entire ice cream cone. It was awful. It hurt. It did not feel good physically. But it felt great to win. Even better, though, was the reaction from the crowd. The entire restaurant was dying laughing, or at least it felt like that.

I remember that feeling as a kid, and I remember having the exact same feeling ten years later. It didn’t matter if it was at Prime Time or on a soundstage. I wanted to do something as simple as make someone laugh. Overall, that’s what I wanted to do with my life. I believed that making people laugh in real life was just as important as doing it on camera.
