Ep 22 - Just The Two Of Us Nov 07, 2014

Show notes

Today, we welcome… no one. We're in between guests and about to go on a road trip to the Bay Area so we're just sitting down, talking a lot of shit in this episode, spreading some rumors, discussing some celebrity deaths and trying to break the code in Gabriel Iglesias' eulogy to himself. Are you famous enough to have a rumor started about your death? Can you troll your own family online and still be anonymous? And who IS that shady guy with the Jaguar trying to charge fans to get in to see Gabriel's grave? Listen as we just sit around being unproductive today.

Ep 21 - 8 Million Ways to Say Josh Nasar Oct 31, 2014

Show notes

I met comedian Josh Nasar about 7 years ago at the Hollywood Laugh Factory. He was "douchebagged" out, Ed Hardy, Von Dutch, all that stuff… but I remembered him. He made an impression on me as someone who went after what he wanted and who worked hard and just was an all-around nice guy. Over the years, he lost that douchebag image and came into his own as a comedian. He also got further into acting and just got a role on this final season of Sons of Anarchy. Seems like things are looking up for old Joshy…Listen as he describes his upbringing in sales, his experience as a door-to-door salesman, comedian and actor and listen as we discuss for the first time EVER - the origin of the phrase "What's Up Fool?"

Ep 20 - Mariano "Big Dawg" Mendoza Oct 24, 2014

Show notes

I met Mariano this year while we were working on a commercial together. He's got quite a story… taken from his abusive home as a young child, Mariano then bounced around in and out of a series of foster homes and schools, never finding any real roots. Throughout this time, however, he was forging a strength of his own and found his calling in the military and eventually professional fighting. Eventually, Mariano began acting in movies and TV and is headed for a new challenge in life. Listen as Mariano breaks down professional (and unlicensed) fighting, "juicing" (not your fruits & veggies) and being a tough guy in Hollywood.

Ep 19 - La Cucaracha Pest Control - Mando, Rodrigo & Pops Oct 17, 2014

Show notes

I've known these guys for a long ass time… I met Mando (Armando Cosio Sr.) when he was an exterminator at the projects where I lived in Boyle Heights. I found out he did comedy on the side. We became friends. He now owns his own exterminating business (La Cucaracha Pest Control) in Los Angeles and still does comedy on the side. He's funny! He and I used to tour with Gabriel Iglesias (Fluffy) for a while too. He has his son "Pops" (Armando Cosio Jr.) working for him in the office and eventually hired my friend Rodrigo Torres to work for him as an exterminator while Rodrigo is touring with me on the side AND going to law school. They have a long history with me, a lot of stories and a lot of jokes. We'll probably have Mando back again soon since we have so much history together, but sit back and listen to this first one.

Ep 18 - Sin Quirin - Guitarist From Ministry Oct 03, 2014

Show notes

I met Sin Quirin a couple years ago at one of my comedy shows in L.A. He turned out to be cool - a real rock and roll guy. This interview is raw and unfiltered and just exactly the way he is. Had a lot of fun talking about the hood, growing up Latino in an all white neighborhood, loving hard rock and punk and being Latino inside that whole world. And with so many things in common, I still can't figure out how we didn't run into each other in the East L.A. area back in the day… Don't let it fool you that he has never smoked or had a drink in his life - this guy has a vice! But let he who is without Sin cast the first stone. BIG shout out to E-Dub and KhoolAid at Pocos Pero Locos for letting us use their studio.

Ep 17 - Desiree Devine (retired) BBW Porn Star Sep 19, 2014

Show notes

I met Desiree about 8 years ago when she started coming to my comedy shows. Found out she was a BBW porn star. She moved away for a while so I didn't learn much more about her after that. Luckily we stayed in touch and when I stopped by Vegas to do a show, I asked her if she would sit down with us and talk about her experience in porn and life in general. Listen as this bright, level-headed creator of BBW Con breaks down the porn industry, Japanese men, and all the fetish categories you can think of.

Ep 16 - Flashback to Kidnap - Keith Manning tells his side of the Houston story Sep 12, 2014

Show notes

I've known and worked with comedian Keith Manning for about 10 years. He opens for me in a lot of different cities on the road. I like working with him because he's laid back and cool and easy to get along with. From the deep south, Savannah Georgia, he talks about growing up in the south, idolizing Blood In, Blood Out, black fraternities in college, and how he's never met a black person who went to school with the help of the United Negro College Fund… He also talks about his side of the crazy Houston story that my friend Theo told on our 3rd episode of the Kidnapped series. If you haven't heard that one yet, go listen to it first. Thanks to everyone who is listening to our podcast. We love doing it.

Ep 15 - Cholos Where Are They Now - Franky Carrillo Sep 05, 2014

Show notes

The final episode in our "Cholos: Where Are They Now?" series brings us to this guy, Franky Carrillo, who I met while walking down the street. He told me he liked my comedy and that he had watched me on Last Comic Standing… while he was in prison - wrongfully. At age 17, mistakenly identified as a murderer, railroaded into life in prison and then 20 years later, Franky was released with the help of the Innocence Project. An unbelievable story of hope and perserverance in the face of an impossible situation and a young man who finally found his voice and remains positive to this day. By the way, Rodrigo was missing from this episode because he lost his phone and we couldn't get in touch with him. Go follow him on his social networks anyway. Shoutout to my friend Juan Romero who let us do this recording at his coffee shop in Boyle Heights - Primera Taza Coffee House. Go visit them and get a chocomil.

Ep 14 - Flashback To Kidnap - Richard Chang And Sherms telling their El Centro story Sep 01, 2014

Show notes

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 other interesting stories of their lives. By the way, Rodrigo is missing from this episode because I forgot we were going to record until the guys showed up at my house. My bad. Actually, my assistant's bad...
