Our little podcast just turned 1 year old! We celebrated by doing the podcast in front of a live audience on April 1 at the Ice House in Pasadena and we brought back a bunch of our past guests. It’s our longest episode ever but it’s jam packed with laughs and we were having a good time. So fast forward…
Jay London is challenging to figure out… never quite sure if he is serious or joking. Strange appearance, quiet, soft-spoken, mild mannered, self-deprecating but very quick-witted. Super nice and loving man who’s seen a lot of life on this earth. Listen as he breaks down his act, his experience in show business and how performers need regular ego “feedings” along…
I don’t claim to be a boxing expert – most of my knowledge is from the movies – but I do like boxing and I had a few people approach me about having a young boxer on my show named Roy Tapia. He’s a young guy from East L.A. now fighting with Golden Boy Promotions who’s undefeated. He’s got a…
Beto Duran and I have known each other for a few years. He’s been a sports broadcaster for ESPN for 10 years, Spanish broadcaster for the Lakers, announcer for Golden Boy Boxing, getting to live out his childhood dream with all his favorite athletes. Listen as he tells how he got started, and scammed his way to the top –…
Andy Kindler is a comic’s comic – that’s a hackneyed thing to say but it’s true. This guy is a comedy scholar. He’s even written the book on hack comics “The Hack’s Handbook”. I have always liked his old school style and quick wit. He also supported me on Last Comic Standing – what’s not to love?? Hilarious, hilarious and…
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.
