Carlos the Magic Flute Player

Lots of interesting types of guys hang around the barbershop. Carlos is a homeless magician/shaman/flute player. He sweeps the front of the shop every morning and tells amazing stories which make no sense at all. He plays his flute every once in a while and I decided to make a few requests.

Fisticuts podcast coming soon

Well, it looks like I couldn’t stay awake from the mic for too long. I have embarked on my latest project – a podcast where I interview comedians while giving them haircuts. It’s an idea I got from comedian Tony Camin who’s hair I cut while I was performing with him in San Francisco last […]

Hello LMH Users

LMH Users, Some of you are seeing this for the 1st time and are probably wondering who Roberto Villalobos is and wondering what happened to ol’ Rob F. Switch.  Well they (we) are both the same person and I’m glad you clicked on the link to find out more about me. The podcast is over […]

Beast Mode

There is a beast within us all.

Black Coffee Blues

The Wrestler 2

Really looking forward to this sequel!

The Bunny Hawk

I just bought these rabbits. I gave one a faux hawk. He is the coolest rabbit in the house. Wait, I can’t tell if it’s a boy or girl yet. It is the coolest bunny in the house.

What the hell are you?

Seriously. What the fuck is that?

Becoming A Barber: The Barber School Graduation

Well, I finally completed the 1500 hour program at my barber college.  I couldn’t be more thrilled but I was disappointed when I found out that graduation means a certificate is handed to you and you go back to work preparing for the state board exam. When I graduated from SF State, I was very […]

Dog Barber

This was a dog I once had. I bought an old set of Oster animal clippers from the 1950’s to practice on her. I used to love cutting her fur and she eventually got used to the sound of the clipper. If you have a dog, you should learn to groom them – especially if […]

Barber Improvisation

A Hot Guy That Cooks: Part 2

Last February, I posted a pic of a show I was on when I moved to LA in 2007.  The show was called HOT GUYS THAT COOK.  You can read that post HERE. After much digging around, I finally found the link buried on the Style Network website.  Here now is my segment in case […]

Becoming A Barber – The $500 Shave

I recently attended a seminar entitled “The $500 Shave” held in Buena Park, CA.  The class was led by celebrity barber John Mosley who is referred to as “The Popular Nobody.” The class was a great resource in educating barbers in the technical and business side of the shaving industry.  With straight razor shaving and […]

Becoming A Barber: March 18, 2013 – MIKE SHIELDS

Mike Shields frequently comes in to our school for a shave.  I remember Mike stopping by during my first week last year.  One thing that can be said with absolute certainty is that Mike has a tough beard.  The hairs are coarse and can, at times, resemble a steel brush. Over the course of the […]

Becoming A Barber: January 18, 2013 – Richard

When our school was shut down last August, I was upset not only because I wasn’t learning & accumulating hours, but also because of some of the people I would not see anymore.  When I started the program I noticed some clients would walk into the shop and request certain student barbers.  I thought that […]

Bathroom Tongs

I went to lunch recently with a friend of mine. He suggested Korean BBQ and since I haven’t been to Korean BBQ for a couple of years I was more than happy to go. I noticed tongs in the bathroom when I went to wash my hands. I thought their placement next to the toilet […]

Barber College UPDATE 2013

Unfortunately, our school was temporarily shut down in August of 2012.  The school was shut down because of “paperwork” issues and when I called the organization that was in charge, they informed me that it would be about 6 months until they opened.  It was unexpected and really screwed up the plans I had for […]

Wine Tasting 2

Wine connoisseur Brent Weinbach shows us how it’s done.

The Legacy Music Dance Party (extended cut)

The Legacy Music Dance Party is the hottest new video game music dance party show. With hosts Brent Weinbach and Rob F., this episode features music from Blaster Master (NES), Secret of Mana (SNES), and Gunstar Heroes (Genesis). NOTE: The crowd in this video really is actually dancing to the music in the video.

Interesting MMA Logo

What kind of mutant inspired this mma company’s logo? I can think of a few different ways they could have used hands to illustrate MMA. Gang members are more resourceful with their hand signs than this Chernobyl-esque logo will ever be.

Vice Presidential Debate Winner

After watching last nights VP debate, I am definitely voting for the man who clearly studied the great masters of speech and communication. Who says you can’t learn anything from pro wrestling?

FINAL PURPLE ONION SHOW – CHANNEL 7 NEWS

I was a part of the final Purple Onion show in SF this past Monday.  It was truly a great show and although I’m sad to see it go, I was happy to celebrate one last time.  Check out the video from SF Channel 7 news.  I didn’t even know they would be covering the […]

Becoming A Barber – Aug 1 – Still Here

I’ve decided to change the format of this blog.  Instead of logging in every day (it was getting too hard and interesting things don’t happen every day), I’ve decided to update the blog by date.  Meaning, I’ll post relevant info and updated hours as the time goes along.  I’ve been busy with 2 jobs, a […]

Warming up the show are 3 of our favorite animal-loving Bay Area comedians, […]

Becoming A Barber: Day 45 – The Capri

One of the great advantages of going to barber school is that I can get my hair cut whenever I like. There are plenty of barbers and we’ve all got nothing but time on our hands so it’s easy to get a haircut or a shave whenever I am in need of a trim. I […]

Becoming A Barber: Days 40-44 – Locks of Love

I took a week off from school to head back to the Bay Area for some gigs.  I was happy to go back to perform comedy but I am starting to get bothered when I miss school.  While I was up there, I got to give my musician friend Tom Rhodes a buzz cut.  His […]

Becoming A Barber: Days 34-39 – The Beard From Hell & Women’s Hair

I had a client come in for a shave with a very tough beard.  I’ve seen steel brushes that were softer than the hair on this man’s face.  He warned me that the hair was tough so I proceeded with caution.  I encountered problems when it felt like my razor hit a wall.  One of […]

Becoming A Barber: Days 30-33 – The Best Free Haircut

I’ve been busy with work and school again so it’s been challenging to come up with entries to write.  My good friend and fellow comedian Kevin Shea let me cut his hair outside of class.  Kevin is Korean and let me just say Asian hair is the hardest hair to cut.  He was very skeptical […]

Becoming A Barber: Day 27, 28, 29 – Cuts, cuts, cuts

1,330 hours left.  The past few days have been busy.  I got to a point where I thought I understood some haircut fundamentals but a client came in and asked for a haircut that I just couldn’t figure out.  When someone’s hair grows in different directions it throws me off.  I guess frustrated is the […]

Bob Sapp Cornerman Contest

I entered a video contest to be the cornerman of MMA fighter, Bob Sapp.  The man is called “The Beast” and with good reason.  He is a behemoth of a human being who fought in the early 2000’s in the PRIDE Fighting Championships.  Lots of people hate the man because some of his fights may […]

Becoming A Barber: Day 26 – I LOVE GUYS

It was a pretty slow day today. I did some bookwork and got to shave one client. Took me about 40 minutes. No nicks and only two spots I missed. Some of the barbers had fun posting this sign on each other’s backs. It will never get old. 1,350 hours to go.
