Listen "Episode 106 — Jesus Trejo: Family, Food & the Long Beach Line"
Episode Synopsis
pplpod Episode 106 traces Jesus Trejo’s path from Long Beach open mics to nationally touring headliner—built on warmth, precision, and stories that sneak up on your heart. We track the club years and The Comedy Store apprenticeship, the hour that put his name on the board (Stay at Home Son), and how caregiving, culture, and childhood become long-form bits with payoff. We dig into the craft—measured pace, clean framing, bilingual tags, crowd reads that invite rather than roast—and the side quests that widened the lane: taco-truck adventures with Tacos Con Todo, specials and festival swings, plus a steady presence on podcasts and late-night couches. Throughline? Empathy as engine. Trejo shows how kindness, timing, and a killer closer can turn everyday life into something you feel the next morning.
