What"s Up Fool? Podcast

Comedian Felipe Esparza talks with random people he finds interesting. It might be somebody kind of famous or it might be that homeless guy at the end of your street who you walk past every day without saying hello. Because everyone has a story to tell about how they got where they are - no matter who they are.

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2016/07/15

We go in hard on this episode. Rodrigo's over in Mexico again so we brought back Dustin Ybarra as a co-host. Our special guest today is Eddie "EdDro" Valdez who I have known for a long time but whose life is completely different than it was back then. After a big setback in his life and career, he got the phone call of a lifetime that set him up for the last 7 years as the personal assistant for world famous comedian, Russell Peters. Dustin talks about possibly burning some bridges during a drunken

Ep 109 Fabian Debora

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2016/07/01

Another episode with our guest co-host, comedian Dustin Ybarra (Rodrigo returns next week). Our guest today is artist, muralist and director of substance abuse counseling for Homeboy Industries, Fabian Debora. I grew up with Fabian in the projects of Boyle Heights. Like me, Fabian had a creative streak in him but nowhere to apply it. So he fell victim to gangs and drugs and started on a path to nowhere quickly. But he's fought those battles and won and now he helps others get through the same

Today we have 2 guests in the studio, actually. First, Rodrigo is on vacation in Mexico so we have a guest host - comedian Dustin Ybarra. He'll be sitting in for a couple episodes. Our guest for the day is Sand One, an L.A. graffiti artist whose murals are all over the city (and beyond). You may have seen her big-eyed "doll" murals on random walls throughout Los Angeles, but also on young girls' purses, phone cases, shirts, etc. She's a marketing madwoman and a DIY business woman with a large

2016/06/17

Met up with an old friend Magdaleno "Guic" Robles for today's show. I've run into this guy off and on for the past 10 to 15 years. We've both had our struggles with substances and the hood, but we've both managed to make it out of that. Guic has been in the 90s Latin rap scene, moved on to becoming a technical consultant on movies and just recently started his own business of glassware accessories called The Launchpad Company.

2016/05/13

Did a little "swap cast" with Barry Katz and his podcast "Industry Standard". I did his show last week and he did mine this week. Barry became my manager after I won Last Comic Standing and helped guide my career for the first year after that. Barry has managed some of the top comedians in the business since he started back in the 80s. Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, Jim Breuer, Jay Mohr, Whitney Cummings, Tracy Morgan.

Comedian and actor Ron Funches ("Undateable", "Portlandia", "Trolls") joins us today for our official 100th episode of the What's Up Fool podcast!

Today we welcome guest Nick Swardson, star of my favorite movie "Grandma's Boy", but first we have a guest from a charity I support - "Peace Over Violence". She breaks down their annual Denim Day event and the services their organization provides. Nick comes in a little later and a LOT hung over... we should have taken bets on whether or not he was going to throw up during the interview. He fought through it for a while and I give him props for even showing up given how bad he felt. Sit back and

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2016/04/01

What can we say about Gene Pompa that hasn't already been written on a bathroom stall? ... You never really know when Gene is joking or being serious. He's a very smart, funny guy, Chicano activist background, and someone I have known in comedy for about 22 years. One of my favorite stand up comics. We still only scratched the surface of getting to know Gene, so we're going to have to have him back again soon. Enjoy!

Our guest today is Paul Hunt, a guy who grew up in the same projects as me - Aliso Village in Boyle Heights. He was one of the few kids who dreamed of the world outside the projects and worked as hard as he could to get there. He recently wrote a book, "Project Theory" that describes our lives in these projects where there were about 10 gangs in a 2 square mile area, problems at home and at school, etc. Despite being a smart, athletically talented kid, his struggles are an example of what it's like
