From the Trap to the Top W/ Kountry Wayne | The Underground Lounge S2 E.37


Listen Later

On this episode of The Underground Lounge, comedian, author, and self-made mogul Kountry Wayne sits down with the crew in Atlanta for a raw, hilarious, and inspiring conversation about life, comedy, business, and everything in between. Known for his viral skits and clean comedy, Wayne takes us behind the scenes of his rise from hustling in small-town Georgia to building a multimillion-dollar brand rooted in faith, consistency, and authenticity.

Wayne opens up about what made him shift from the streets to the stage, why he made a conscious decision to stop cursing in his act, and how his faith continues to guide him both creatively and personally. He talks about raising ten kids, navigating divorce, and why he’s not a fan of marriage paperwork even though he still believes in love and forever partnerships. The conversation gets deeper as the group explores how Wayne balances being funny and spiritual, how he handles industry hate, and the challenge of keeping his comedy grounded while still making it mainstream.

He also breaks down the business side, how he wrote and voiced his own audiobook, developed a TV series, and kept ownership of his content instead of waiting for Hollywood’s approval. Whether it’s turning pain into purpose or using social media to outwork traditional gatekeepers, Wayne’s message is clear: bet on yourself and don’t stop working.

And of course, it wouldn’t be The Underground Lounge without some off-the-wall moments from the infamous F**K IT BUCKET, revealing the most unexpected times Wayne went viral and his thoughts on celebrity crushes, dating, and the type of woman that really catches his eye.

From laughter to life lessons, this episode is packed with motivation, entertainment, and a reminder that you don’t have to compromise your values to get to the top, you just have to believe in your purpose and outwork everybody.
