3 Chicano artists walk into a bar… I don’t have a punchline for that one… But I have run across these 3 L.A. artists a few times over the years and we finally sat down to talk to them all. Rafa Cardenas, East L.A. native, former member of the band Slowrider and now a photographer; Ernesto Yerena from El Centro…
If you want to have a discussion on comedy and specifically black comedy, you have to include D Militant. He is a comedy historian, a writer and a stand-up comedian. One of the most interesting things about D is his history with Katt Williams as his writer and opener on the road at the height of Katt’s fame. Listen as…
This guy was the original inspiration for our Cholos: Where Are They Now? series we did a while back but he was always so busy working… Finally, this week we got to talk to actor (and comedian) Emilio Rivera. The realest guy you’ll ever meet. He may play unflinching, menacing characters on TV shows and in movies but, yes, Emilio…
Last week when we had Flaco as a guest with Gracie, we felt like we didn’t get enough Flaco so we had him on by himself this week. Because we find Flaco interesting. He’s only been in comedy for 5 years and I believe that he’s funnier than most of the other comics out there with more experience. It’s not…
We had some extra audio so we’re putting up this bonus episode. Last week I walked around the tailgate parties at the Charger-Raider game in San Diego. No Rodrigo, no guests, just me talking to football fans and crazy tailgaters. We started on a mission to find lot D4 but I got stopped too many times along the way so…
Gracie has been in comedy for a long time… but she’s been doing the open mic rooms that whole time. She’s kept her day job the whole time. She’s a mom. She’s 58. She’s also one of the few women in comedy who will put up with all the nonsense from the male comics. Most female comics don’t like to…
Today, comedian Carlos Oscar stops by to talk about all things Hollywood in the brand new All Things Comedy podcast studio. Carlos has been in comedy for over 20 years – longer than me. He knows the industry and he tells it like it is. Listen as we share all the ins and outs of the stand-up comedy and TV…
Today, we welcome… no one. We’re in between guests and about to go on a road trip to the Bay Area so we’re just sitting down, talking a lot of shit in this episode, spreading some rumors, discussing some celebrity deaths and trying to break the code in Gabriel Iglesias’ eulogy to himself. Are you famous enough to have a…
I met comedian Josh Nasar about 7 years ago at the Hollywood Laugh Factory. He was “douchebagged” out, Ed Hardy, Von Dutch, all that stuff… but I remembered him. He made an impression on me as someone who went after what he wanted and who worked hard and just was an all-around nice guy. Over the years, he lost that…
I met Mariano this year while we were working on a commercial together. He’s got quite a story… taken from his abusive home as a young child, Mariano then bounced around in and out of a series of foster homes and schools, never finding any real roots. Throughout this time, however, he was forging a strength of his own and…
