Ep 73 - Comedian Dwayne Perkins Oct 23, 2015

Show notes

I've run into comedian Dwayne Perkins a lot over the years. He's a really cool, laid back, funny guy who has worked his ass off in the comedy world for a long time. Dwayne has kept working consistently because he's funny and he's one of the few comics who just naturally work clean. He's also constantly writing and working on different projects balanced with life on the road. We talk about stand-up comedy, drugs (and why he's not interested in them) and a little bit about Rodrigo's budding love life.

Ep 72 - Film School 101 Oct 16, 2015

Show notes

It's been said that we need more Latino representation behind the camera in Hollywood. Today we talk to 3 directors (Joey Medina, Tom Sanchez and Christian Sesma) who are self-made and still growing in their careers. They have worked their asses off to make films they are passionate about. And only one of them has actually been to film school. If you ever wanted to know the ins and outs of the independent film business - from a zombie/horror director to a foreign film director and a director who's leaning toward action-adventure - listen to these guys tell some stories of how it IS possible to achieve that dream.

Ep 71 - Comedian Jason Rouse Oct 09, 2015

Show notes

Part of me feels like putting an extra warning label on this episode… Meet Jason Rouse, a hard core, balls-out comic considered by some to be "the G.G. Allin of comedy". Listen to what it's like to have headlined around the world for many years but still struggle to find a place in the U.S. And just when you think the episode is over, we dig deep into a pretty heavy discussion about drugs and addiction at the end. Sit back and take a trip around the world with us today. Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe! Thanks for listening!

Ep 70 - Comedian Anjelah Johnson Oct 02, 2015

Show notes

Ever wonder what it's like to become famous almost instantly? Just a few months after starting comedy, Anjelah Johnson had that experience when her joke about a Vietnamese nail salon went viral with the perfect storm of YouTube, email and MySpace. Listen to her story of what it was like being thrown into a headliner's position when she didn't have enough material, rising to the occasion and learning along the way how rough this business can be. Fortunately, Anjelah is still selling out and growing her audience all over the place, just finished a new musical comedy tour with her character Bon Qui Qui and has her 3rd special, "Not Fancy", coming out on Netflix today (Oct 2, 2015). With only 9 years in comedy and a career others envy, she's proving she has what it takes long term. Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe!

Ep 69 - Comedian Felicia Michaels Sep 25, 2015

Show notes

Felicia Michaels is a pioneer in comedy. People like Amy Shumer and Sarah Silverman have her to thank for pushing the envelope when she was starting in comedy. Yes, she was not the first, but in mainstream comedy in the 80s it was very rare - a female comic who talked about the same things men were talking about. So it's appropriate that she's our 69th episode! Felicia started out as a stripper and then got into the comedy world, got married and adopted a couple kids and took a long break from comedy until her divorce. Now she's back in comedy again and is hitting the stage hard. Go check her out at a show near you and check out her new podcast "The Milf Code".

Ep 68 - John "Spider" Salley Sep 18, 2015

Show notes

Today we have an awesome guest, a legend in the NBA and a renaissance man - Mr. John "Spider" Salley. From the Pistons to the Bulls to the Lakers - championships on 3 different teams - to TV and movies and now a personal quest for health and wellness. Oh yeah, he's also a vegan and an animal activist. He's a funny guy, too. Also, a mini-ambush of Rodrigo with dating advice (sort of).

Ep 67 - Comedian Kevin Shea Sep 11, 2015

Show notes

Kick back and listen to us talk with a very funny comedian, Kevin Shea. He opened for me in San Jose last week and I thought it would be good for you guys to hear his stories. This mild-mannered, soft-spoken comedian might surprise you with some of the things he's been through in his life. One of the few comedians I know who can hold an audience's attention while doing his whole stage act sitting down.

Ep 66 - Tom Green Sep 04, 2015

Show notes

Rodrigo is back from Mexico so we got caught up. We finally got to sit down with the great Tom Green! Hilarious, weird, and a super kind, honest human being. He's still Canadian at heart no matter how long he's lived in Los Angeles. Listen to how he has come full circle in his career by going back to the basics of his very first cable access show but updated with the latest interactive technology.

Ep 65 - Laugh Factory Owner Jamie Masada Aug 28, 2015

Show notes

Forgive Jamie's microphone. He was talking with lots of acting out so he moves it a lot. Also, after 36 years in Los Angeles, he still has a thick Iranian accent. I've known Jamie Masada, the owner of the Laugh Factory for about 17 years. This is the man who told me that he didn't see me making it for another 6 years and crushed my dreams early in my stand-up career. He's done it to a lot of people. But he's usually right. He knows what's funny. Hear the story of a teenage immigrant from Iran who has risen from nothing to a major player in the Hollywood community. Also hear his side of the Michael Richards incident as he describes what happened that night from a business owner's perspective.

Ep 64 - Call In Show #2 Aug 21, 2015

Show notes

We did another call-in show today. Just me and Rodrigo. I kind of like these shows without a guest because I get to get a lot of stuff off my chest and then people who get mad at what I say just start to go away and I'm left with the hardcore fans who get me. We also try discussing Straight Outta Compton with some of the callers. Like it or not, leave a review or give it a rating, whatever. Send me hate mail, I don't care! It's free!
