Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault Ai stated, “As Rodney Dangerfield taught us, no one gets respect without earning it through sheer grit and good humor qualities that define New York’s enduring spirit. I applaud Mark Yosef, the current owner of Rodney’s, a place of family, friends and for keeping the city laughing amid these divisive times. Sometimes, all you can do is laugh; and if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. Our Joke Token made it to the streaming era from clubs like his and is evolving into a Web 3.0 revolution, where sound carries data, and data unlocks wealth and immersive experiences. Soon, Rodney himself will return in holographic form, and we’ll laugh again with him at the lead with lightning quick wit and either an arrogance or humility that makes Rodney’s the ultimate spot for that essential chuckle. I applaud Bryan Dromerhauser, the rookie of the year at Data Vault ® who drives with wit, humor and humility that delivers results, changing comedy to the next generation using blockchain to solve old problems in the oldest of industries that has always had problems caring for, honoring and remunerating its greatest talents. If we finish our Joke Token mission a whole new generation of artists will emerge. We will laugh harder than ever. Together.”

Nate continued, “Blockchain and tonal data technologies are democratizing the stand-up comedy landscape, transforming what was once an exclusive art form into an open, data-driven ecosystem. Through real-time joke copyrighting, valuation, and talent discovery, our patented token-exchange framework at Datavault AI connects comedians, writers, clubs, and producers in ways never before possible. These collaborations allow talented writers to see their material brought to life by skilled performers—turning every punchline into a shared, monetizable experience.

At Datavault AI, our agentic AI solutions function as digital promoters, protectors, and amplifiers—capable of acting as a holographic orator, matchmaker, and star launcher. We’re building a future that’s bright, hilarious, and equitable for irreplaceable creatives—the sharp, quick-witted individuals who keep us laughing in an increasingly serious and impatient world. Web 3.0 is redefining the comedy industry, creating a safer, smarter environment where creative voices can thrive once again. The resurgence of the comedy club scene reflects this transformation—where cultural perspectives, intellect, and humor intersect. As Rodney Dangerfield’s iconic character, Thornton Melon, reminded us in Back to School, filmed in part at Arizona State University: sometimes laughter is the best education of all.”
