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.

To say this guy knows us from day 1 is an understatement. Martin Moreno has been touring with Gabriel Iglesias for about 12 years now. Before that, we were young comics struggling for years together on hell gigs, bar shows and anything that paid at least $20. We haven't seen Martin for about 6 years, maybe more and he made it a reunion by bringing his son Hooter and our old friend Ivan (Gabriel's assistant who I used to work with at Dodger Stadium).

As a teenager, Little Willie G headed up an East L.A. band referred to as "the Chicano Beatles". Thee Midniters' sound defined Chicano rock music and Chicano culture throughout the 60s and beyond. Willie would fall prey to the dark side of the music industry and develop a problem with drugs and alcohol. His testimony and music was one of the only cassettes we had in my rehab and I really got into his music. Today, Willie has overcome all of those problems through a relationship with God, started a ministry and continues to perform all over the country.
