Comedian Jeffrey Keller (@MyMomsWhite on Twitter) joins us today on the show. I’ve known Jeffrey for a long time from back in the day when I was still doing open mics all over L.A. Jeffrey had an interesting background before comedy – a white mom who “boosted” and worked with L.A. mobsters and a black father who played in the…
One of the members of Las Cafeteras gave me their CD about a year ago. I kept it in my car without listening to it because, let’s face it, people give me a lot of free shitty CDs… but I wish I had listened to this one sooner. I finally played it a few months ago and something about it…
*(Guest co-co-host from the Living the Dream Podcast – Beto Duran sits in with us for this episode) Around the same time NWA was coming “straight outta Compton”, there was another kid coming straight outta Southgate California by way of Cuba… hitting the charts with a new sound and blazing the trails for future Latin hip hop artists. Mellow Man…
Well… we were stood up by our guest today so we ended up doing a podcast by ourselves (while watching our producer freak out about the guest). It’s all good, we were thinking of doing it once a month anyway. We just sit and talk about everything from smelling good to roommates to religion, and as usual, to our most…
If you ever ask me who helped me get started in my comedy career, one of the first people I’ll probably mention is comedian Johnny Sanchez. Johnny has been on MadTV (you might remember the Little Joker character that went viral) and had comedy specials, but this guy has worked for years on the comedy show grind and was a…
My friend Elon Gold is a funny comedian, great at impressions, and he’s also one of the first writers to put me in something because he liked my comedy. On today’s episode, Elon breaks down the business of comedy and television, writing and acting, choosing the right impressions and the myth of rich Jews. Please take 5 seconds to rate…
I’ve run into comedian Dwayne Perkins a lot over the years. He’s a really cool, laid back, funny guy who has worked his ass off in the comedy world for a long time. Dwayne has kept working consistently because he’s funny and he’s one of the few comics who just naturally work clean. He’s also constantly writing and working on…
It’s been said that we need more Latino representation behind the camera in Hollywood. Today we talk to 3 directors (Joey Medina, Tom Sanchez and Christian Sesma) who are self-made and still growing in their careers. They have worked their asses off to make films they are passionate about. And only one of them has actually been to film school.…
Part of me feels like putting an extra warning label on this episode… Meet Jason Rouse, a hard core, balls-out comic considered by some to be “the G.G. Allin of comedy”. Listen to what it’s like to have headlined around the world for many years but still struggle to find a place in the U.S. And just when you think…
Ever wonder what it’s like to become famous almost instantly? Just a few months after starting comedy, Anjelah Johnson had that experience when her joke about a Vietnamese nail salon went viral with the perfect storm of YouTube, email and MySpace. Listen to her story of what it was like being thrown into a headliner’s position when she didn’t have…
