You might have seen this guy in Training Day, Bruce Almighty, Fast and Furious and a bunch of other movies where a cholo might jump out and scare you. That’s right, actor Noel G is probably THE most frequently cast Latino gangster in movies and TV ever next to Emilio Rivera. He’s also an old friend of mine who used…
Comedian and writer Neal Brennan sits down with us to talk about his experiences in Hollywood – the good, bad and especially the ugly. Listen to how he came back from “the stink” of Half Baked to co-create one of the greatest comedy shows ever, “Chappelle’s Show”, and how he came back again on his own – after his partner…
Tiffany Haddish and I go back a long way. She and I hit up almost every late show at the Hollywood Laugh Factory and Long Beach Laugh Factory every single week between 2006 and 2010. She’s hilarious – just a naturally funny person. She’s also been through some serious shit in her life – from poverty to foster care to…
I’m a fan of Melissa Villaseñor. She’s funny and does a lot of great impressions – women and men – and sometimes even her cat. Listen as I tell the story of how Gabriel Iglesias once paid for my dental work, Melissa tells the story of knowing she wanted to be a comedian at 12 years old and… for the…
Originally recorded January 25, 2015 at the Ontario Improv in Ontario California (in the green room) We’re in the green room of the Ontario Improv in California right after a weekend of 8 sold out shows. Rodrigo was performing out of town so we had Ma rcella Arguello, a couple words from Isaac Flaco Martinez and the return of Fred…
Melanie Comarcho is hilarious. She’s so funny, she never had to do the grind of the open mics and the bullshit most of us had to go through. She got snatched up for the Def Jam Comedy Tour and world tours with Martin Lawrence, Chris Tucker and Katt Williams. Melanie is raw and real and always herself. Listen as she…
This is two episodes in one… recorded in Tampa Florida when my friend, comedian Russell Peters invited me to fly with him and Dom Irrera on Russell’s private plane. I skipped my commercial flight and took my podcast equipment with me. The interview starts off with us waiting at the private airport with a new comedian with 5 years in…
Chuck Bartell. Some call him odd, some call him creepy, irreverant, I just call him George Washington. You might have seen this guy open for me a few times in L.A., Arizona, maybe Chicago and he always surprises my audiences by how funny his act is. He’s one of my favorites and has some of the best one liners out…
Originally recorded January 2, 2015 at the American Comedy Company in San Diego (in the green room) We’re in the green room of the American Comedy Company in San Diego right after the new year talking with Flaco Martinez again and also our friend Big Frog. He’s an up and coming comedian in the San Diego area who’s had a…
After a couple months of trying to match up schedules, we finally got Metalachi in the studio. The ONLY heavy metal mariachi band out there. Ignore any imitators – these guys are the real deal. Strange characters for sure with questionable pasts and I’m still not sure we got a straight answer about anything but we had a lot of…
