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.

Deep down, he just always wanted a hug. Scruncho goes way back with a lot of influential artists in comedy and hip hop and gets respect from a lot of people in the business.

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2016/01/22

Third time is a charm... this guy is probably the only guy who could stand us up twice and we'll STILL give him another chance because he's our favorite. Corey Holcomb is hilarious and real and for almost 2 hours, we talk about all kinds of things people in the hood need to know. Health problems, getting robbed by promoters, how to feel like a God with hoodrats - everything you need to know about life but were afraid to ask. Listen and enjoy.

While they may have had real cholo backgrounds growing up, they have both turned their lives around and have been working actors for several years now. Listen as they tell a little about their backgrounds and their new lives acting and the experience of going viral. Please

2016/01/08

SPOILER ALERT SHOW! Well... it's the first episode of 2016 and our guest canceled AGAIN! This is the 2nd time we've booked him and he canceled... but he's funny so we're willing to try it one more time in a couple weeks. It had better be worth it. Anyway, it ends up being me and Rodrigo with me trying to give my ghetto explanation of Star Wars (and yes there are spoilers) and the Big Short and a bunch of other stuff.

Ep 81_Bobby Lee

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/12/18

Bobby Lee and I go way back. We pretty much started comedy around the same time - him in San Diego and me in L.A. He's a Comedy Store fixture and after several years on Mad TV and almost 20 years of stand-up, he's got a solid headlining career. Bobby can be off the wall on stage but today we see a more vulnerable side as he tells some stories from his early years of comedy and his childhood.

Ep 80 - Larry "Bubbles" Brown

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/12/11

Larry "Bubbles" Brown is our guest today... Hilarious comic from the Bay Area/San Francisco area. He came up during the Robin Williams era of the Bay comedy scene in the 80s. He's worked with Dana Carvey, Dave Attell, me of course, and we all know that Larry is THE best whenever we work in the Bay. Nicknamed "Bubbles" by comedian Paula Poundstone as a sarcastic nod to his chronically depressed persona, Larry always leaves you wondering if he really will "end it all" tomorrow.

2015/12/04

Comedian Jeffrey Keller (@MyMomsWhite on Twitter) joins us today on the show. I've known Jeffrey for a long time from back in the day when I was still doing open mics all over L.A. Jeffrey had an interesting background before comedy - a white mom who "boosted" and worked with L.A. mobsters and a black father who played in the L.A. jazz circuit. Jeffrey also had a brief career in the NFL on the Atlanta Falcons and discusses the difference between college football and professional football. Of course,

Ep 78 - Las Cafeteras

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/11/27

One of the members of Las Cafeteras gave me their CD about a year ago. I kept it in my car without listening to it because, let's face it, people give me a lot of free shitty CDs… but I wish I had listened to this one sooner. I finally played it a few months ago and something about it touched me. The music was beautiful and the message behind it was something I hadn't heard in music before. A group of 6 young Chicanos who came up through music lessons in a cafe in East L.A. have been working their

2015/11/20

*(Guest co-co-host from the Living the Dream Podcast - Beto Duran sits in with us for this episode) Around the same time NWA was coming "straight outta Compton", there was another kid coming straight outta Southgate California by way of Cuba… hitting the charts with a new sound and blazing the trails for future Latin hip hop artists. Mellow Man Ace, AKA Ulpiano Reyes, blew up with a bilingual hit called "Mentirosa" and continued strong for several years, including his experience as a founding member

2015/11/13

Well… we were stood up by our guest today so we ended up doing a podcast by ourselves (while watching our producer freak out about the guest). It's all good, we were thinking of doing it once a month anyway. We just sit and talk about everything from smelling good to roommates to religion, and as usual, to our most common subject - drugs.

Ep 75 - Comedian Johnny Sanchez

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/11/06

If you ever ask me who helped me get started in my comedy career, one of the first people I'll probably mention is comedian Johnny Sanchez. Johnny has been on MadTV (you might remember the Little Joker character that went viral) and had comedy specials, but this guy has worked for years on the comedy show grind and was a solid L.A. based comic he guided me to the Comedy Store's open mic to get started. After showcasing 9 times, I finally became a club regular. Hilarious reminiscing in this episode

Ep 73 - Comedian Dwayne Perkins

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/10/23

I've run into comedian Dwayne Perkins a lot over the years. He's a really cool, laid back, funny guy who has worked his ass off in the comedy world for a long time. Dwayne has kept working consistently because he's funny and he's one of the few comics who just naturally work clean. He's also constantly writing and working on different projects balanced with life on the road. We talk about stand-up comedy, drugs (and why he's not interested in them) and a little bit about Rodrigo's budding love life

2015/10/16

It's been said that we need more Latino representation behind the camera in Hollywood. Today we talk to 3 directors (Joey Medina, Tom Sanchez and Christian Sesma) who are self-made and still growing in their careers. They have worked their asses off to make films they are passionate about. And only one of them has actually been to film school. If you ever wanted to know the ins and outs of the independent film business - from a zombie/horror director to a foreign film director and a director who's
