Joey and I have known each other for almost 20 years. We have lots of stories and hope you like these. On today’s episode of “What’s Up Fool?” podcast, Uncle Joey, aka Joey “Coco” Diaz, legendary comedian, podcaster and all-around badass stops by and drops some SCIENCE! We find out where the Devil is from, Joey’s version of the alphabet…
I found this guy Dani Luv interesting. He’s Starchild in a Kiss tribute band (Kiss My Ass), he’s in a Spanish rock duo (Matador) and hails from a little town in Kansas that you’d never know had any Latinos in it. Oh yeah, he’s Latino, too. This is the 2nd episode in our series on “Hollywood Dreamers”… What makes a…
Our friend Joe “Hulk” McQueen helps us kick off our series on “Hollywood Dreamers”… What makes a normal person drop everything and move to California to take their chances at fame and (maybe) fortune? What if they don’t make it big? Why do they still stay? What makes them get back up every time the industry knocks them down? Joe…
Our belated Memorial Day episode. We talk to my hometown hero, a guy from the Pico Gardens/Pico Aliso projects where I grew up. Ray lost so much as a young Marine in Vietnam that he had every right to give up hope. One day on the little league field changed all that.

Think there aren’t any good cops out there? Think again. The human side of the force as told by the man who caught one of the most inhumane serial killers, Richard Ramirez, the “Night Stalker”. Legendary Sheriff Gil Carrillo (retired) sits down with me and Rodrigo and talks about his life as a cop and a Sheriff and how he…
Happy (early) Mother’s Day! We dropped by comedian Luenell’s house to talk to her about being a mother and a comedian, her reformed ways and her uncanny ability to attract every loser out there. You might know her as the “hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold” in the movie Borat and her recurring role in Californication and Think Like a Man. *(Sorry for the mic…
Our last “victim” in the kidnapping series talked with Felipe at the Houston Improv a couple weeks ago. Theo Taylor, a Houston based comedian, tells his side of the story about a night with Felipe he’ll never forget. If you listen closely, you might just learn (kind of) about Liberia, immigrant parents, suburban black dudes and boudain balls on another…
Another “kidnapping” victim stops by to reminisce with Felipe (and guest sidekick Chris Storin). Kenny Benitez, not a comic, not a drug addict… why did he stay? Who else buys you a piece of cake bro? I’ll hang out with Duck Dynasty and pray… Don’t take Jack-in-the-Box to Strippers and other great advice on another episode of What’s Up Fool?…
My FIRST EPISODE EVER! And the first in our KIDNAPPING series – a series of interviews with people I’ve “kidnapped” under the influence. Hear comedian Juan Garcia’s version of some of the adventures with me and how he has been manipulated by veteran comics just because… If you’re a new comedian, F*CK the comedy classes – this is stuff no…
