Ep 81_Bobby Lee Dec 18, 2015

Show notes

Bobby Lee and I go way back. We pretty much started comedy around the same time - him in San Diego and me in L.A. He's a Comedy Store fixture and after several years on Mad TV and almost 20 years of stand-up, he's got a solid headlining career. Bobby can be off the wall on stage but today we see a more vulnerable side as he tells some stories from his early years of comedy and his childhood.

Ep 80 - Larry "Bubbles" Brown Dec 11, 2015

Show notes

Larry "Bubbles" Brown is our guest today... Hilarious comic from the Bay Area/San Francisco area. He came up during the Robin Williams era of the Bay comedy scene in the 80s. He's worked with Dana Carvey, Dave Attell, me of course, and we all know that Larry is THE best whenever we work in the Bay. Nicknamed "Bubbles" by comedian Paula Poundstone as a sarcastic nod to his chronically depressed persona, Larry always leaves you wondering if he really will "end it all" tomorrow. If you ever have the chance, go see him live - watch him once and you'll be saying "Merrrrhhh" for days. Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe!

Ep 79 - Comedian Jeffrey Keller Dec 04, 2015

Show notes

Comedian Jeffrey Keller (@MyMomsWhite on Twitter) joins us today on the show. I've known Jeffrey for a long time from back in the day when I was still doing open mics all over L.A. Jeffrey had an interesting background before comedy - a white mom who "boosted" and worked with L.A. mobsters and a black father who played in the L.A. jazz circuit. Jeffrey also had a brief career in the NFL on the Atlanta Falcons and discusses the difference between college football and professional football. Of course, his next career move could only be becoming a stand-up comedian… Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe! Thanks for listening!

Ep 78 - Las Cafeteras Nov 27, 2015

Show notes

One of the members of Las Cafeteras gave me their CD about a year ago. I kept it in my car without listening to it because, let's face it, people give me a lot of free shitty CDs… but I wish I had listened to this one sooner. I finally played it a few months ago and something about it touched me. The music was beautiful and the message behind it was something I hadn't heard in music before. A group of 6 young Chicanos who came up through music lessons in a cafe in East L.A. have been working their asses off over the last 10 years and have finally started to get some recognition. We've got 4 of the members with us today (Hector, Daniel, Leah & Jose), they chilled with us and gave us their stories of getting started, their activism and where they're going next. *If you're in the L.A. area, go see them at the El Rey on Dec 12. It will sell out! Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe! Thanks for listening!

Ep 77 - Rapper Mellow Man Ace Nov 20, 2015

Show notes

*(Guest co-co-host from the Living the Dream Podcast - Beto Duran sits in with us for this episode) Around the same time NWA was coming "straight outta Compton", there was another kid coming straight outta Southgate California by way of Cuba… hitting the charts with a new sound and blazing the trails for future Latin hip hop artists. Mellow Man Ace, AKA Ulpiano Reyes, blew up with a bilingual hit called "Mentirosa" and continued strong for several years, including his experience as a founding member of Cypress Hill with his brother Sen Dog. After feeling cramped by corporate music's hold and control over his sound, he was forced to take a huge leap and do things his own way. Touring and stumbling a few times over the years, he's back in a new way and helping bring up other young hip hop artists, including his son, rapper Cazal Organism. They are starting a reality show together on FuseTV in 2016 - all about their lives behind the scenes as they work with other hip hop artists, perform their live shows and spend time with their families.

Ep 76 - Just The 2 Of Us Number 3 Nov 13, 2015

Show notes

Well… we were stood up by our guest today so we ended up doing a podcast by ourselves (while watching our producer freak out about the guest). It's all good, we were thinking of doing it once a month anyway. We just sit and talk about everything from smelling good to roommates to religion, and as usual, to our most common subject - drugs. We'll be back next week with a guest! Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe! Thanks for listening!

Ep 75 - Comedian Johnny Sanchez Nov 06, 2015

Show notes

If you ever ask me who helped me get started in my comedy career, one of the first people I'll probably mention is comedian Johnny Sanchez. Johnny has been on MadTV (you might remember the Little Joker character that went viral) and had comedy specials, but this guy has worked for years on the comedy show grind and was a solid L.A. based comic he guided me to the Comedy Store's open mic to get started. After showcasing 9 times, I finally became a club regular. Hilarious reminiscing in this episode and Johnny might just be the first guest to imitate me...

Ep 74 - Comedian Elon Gold Oct 30, 2015

Show notes

My friend Elon Gold is a funny comedian, great at impressions, and he's also one of the first writers to put me in something because he liked my comedy. On today's episode, Elon breaks down the business of comedy and television, writing and acting, choosing the right impressions and the myth of rich Jews.
