Ep 166 - Frankie Quinones

We've got Cholo Fit in studio with us today! Well, really just the comedian behind Cholo Fit (Creeper) and a bunch of other characters. We've known Frankie Quinones for a while now - worked with him a couple times in the bay area. Now he's down in L.A. and growing into his own. Listen, enjoy, subscribe, rate us on iTunes!

Ep 165 - Viva Mescal and Mad Macks EOTR

We're in the studio this week with rappers Viva Mescal and Mad Macks from the East of the River network (EOTR) - a group of young up and coming artists and musicians, mostly from East L.A. and Boyle Heights. I go way back with Mescal's family from the projects of Boyle Heights. But these guys are working hard to make things happen in their community and beyond. Listen to our interview with them and also Paul Rodriguez calls in to talk about his new play that covers the difficulty of pitching (and getting) a Latino show on TV...

Ep 164 - Al Berman

I've known comedian Al Berman since I started comedy. He had come from an east coast upbringing, a NY punk scene and a background of addiction. Came to L.A., got clean, joined the comedy scene. He now still dabbles in comedy and has just started a podcast, his "Sober Man Podcast" which you can find on iTunes or Google Music. Listen, enjoy, subscribe, rate us on iTunes!

Ep 163 - MC Pancho

MC Pancho and his wife Chamorita dropped by the studio today. He is such an interesting guy with a striking look that is both interesting and intimidating. Started out rapping underground and making mix tapes that ended up blowing up in Japan, then he became a cultural icon - from his tattoo work to his facial hair and clothing, this guy's style is quintessential Chicano. But of course like most of our guests, this guy has a surprising side that shows us why you should never judge a book by it's cover. Listen, enjoy, subscribe, rate us on iTunes!

Ep 162 - 2Mex

Today we have one of the hottest underground hip-hop artists around - 2Mex! This guy has worked his ass off and recently has gone through some health issues that caused him to lose his leg. He's been through a lot of struggle but still managed to come out with a brand new album inspired by everything he went through. And he's a big fan of the What's Up Fool podcast.

Ep 159 - Ahmed Ahmed

You don't get to witness much new stuff in stand-up comedy these days, but our old friend Ahmed Ahmed was the first to start Muslim/Middle East comedy in the American stand-up world about 10 years ago and we got to witness it taking off. He stopped by the show this week to talk about how he got into comedy, how his parents reacted to him wanting to be a comedian, and our old Hollywood stomping grounds when we were young comedians.
