With nine albums released from 1972 through 1985, the duo was nominated for four Grammy Awards, winning the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album with their third album, Los Cochinos, released in 1973. Big Bambu, their second album, was the biggest selling comedy record of all time in 1972 and remained so for many years. Their stunningly successful comedy streak transitioned to film in 1978 with their first movie, "Up In Smoke," the highest grossing comedy of 1978, topping $100 million at the box office. Cheech and Chong co-wrote and starred in a total of eight feature films together, all directed by Chong. The comedy duo was initially discovered at the Troubadour in Los Angeles.

Then I went downtown to look for a job. Then I hung out in front of the drugstore. The third day of my summer vacation, I woke up. Then I went downtown to look for a job. I got a job.

When I was in high school, there was this younger married couple I knew that were, let's say, "cool", and the husband still had Big Bambu on vinyl with the big rolling paper.

Hey Strawberry! Wake up man. I was just wishing one day I could go back in time and see them in concert. And I did man! But, like, they were older and funnier. Especially, at end of their tour when they gelled. Cheech got into his chi flow...i.e. Miami, second Date. Doing Ralph and Herby at 70, 70 that’s just a number, yeah a number on the knees. JK. And Old man in the Park with Buffalo Bastard. Anyways, I need to Get a Tape\DVD sketch I did for High school talent contest, of old man and punk in park. It’s like 2 mins long. I’m 34 now, and 18 when I did the Sketch. I did a great-Cheech\punk. Although Shelby called me on stage on two occasions to answer “bad ass weed…”, god bless her humorous, fragile, yet TUFF As NAILs, especially when loved ones are involved, life affirming bathing glow. Just wanted either one of them to watch it. Just a brief moment of attention given , to my sketch video, of Chong and Cheech just once and I will achieve peace in that 16 year+ quest. Watch my video T or Tony por favor! Hey sister!!! I got to go to the Can Man!!! HEY ELEPHANT!!!
