I’ve known these guys for a long ass time… I met Mando (Armando Cosio Sr.) when he was an exterminator at the projects where I lived in Boyle Heights. I found out he did comedy on the side. We became friends. He now owns his own exterminating business (La Cucaracha Pest Control) in Los Angeles and still does comedy on…
I met Sin Quirin a couple years ago at one of my comedy shows in L.A. He turned out to be cool – a real rock and roll guy. This interview is raw and unfiltered and just exactly the way he is. Had a lot of fun talking about the hood, growing up Latino in an all white neighborhood, loving…
I met Desiree about 8 years ago when she started coming to my comedy shows. Found out she was a BBW porn star. She moved away for a while so I didn’t learn much more about her after that. Luckily we stayed in touch and when I stopped by Vegas to do a show, I asked her if she would…
I’ve known and worked with comedian Keith Manning for about 10 years. He opens for me in a lot of different cities on the road. I like working with him because he’s laid back and cool and easy to get along with. From the deep south, Savannah Georgia, he talks about growing up in the south, idolizing Blood In, Blood…
The final episode in our “Cholos: Where Are They Now?” series brings us to this guy, Franky Carrillo, who I met while walking down the street. He told me he liked my comedy and that he had watched me on Last Comic Standing… while he was in prison – wrongfully. At age 17, mistakenly identified as a murderer, railroaded into…
Special bonus episode for Labor Day! Flashback to Kidnapped – Where we revisit the story of our very first podcast episode (the kidnapped episode with Chepo and his story of our trip to El Centro California). Well, these 2 guys were there with us, too. Comedians Richard Chang and Herman Sherms Cubillo tell their side of that story plus some…
This is the second episode in our “Cholos – Where Are They Now?” mini-series. Birdman is an interesting character. Pretty laid back kind of guy who will sometimes tell a shocking story as if he’s just telling you the weather. After growing up feeling “like a human garbage can” and then getting a 2nd and 3rd chance in life, Jaime…
This episode kicks off our “Cholos – Where Are They Now?” series. A few episodes that will explore what happens to some of those guys you thought were a lost cause when they were younger; the fools that were drunks, drug addicts, thugs, delinquents… not all of them end up dead or in prison. Some of them become artists. I’m…
What a great day this was… My friend Baby Bash (rapper, “Suga Suga”, “Cyclone”) invited me to the set of his video shoot for his new single, “Certified Freak” and I decided it would be good to do a podcast with him. Little did I know that his friend Kid Frost (rapper, “La Raza”, “No Sunshine”) was on set hanging…
A few months ago, I heard that Fred Stoller was looking to return to stand up after a long break of acting and writing in Hollywood. He’s been in a ton of TV shows and movies and I didn’t think he would want to open for me but it turned out he did. He was so funny and nice and…
