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…
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. Interesting Links… @funnyfelipe (my twitter) @rodrigotorresjr (Rodrigo’s twitter) http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org…
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…
