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.

Ep 71 - Comedian Jason Rouse

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/10/09

Part of me feels like putting an extra warning label on this episode… Meet Jason Rouse, a hard core, balls-out comic considered by some to be "the G.G. Allin of comedy". Listen to what it's like to have headlined around the world for many years but still struggle to find a place in the U.S. And just when you think the episode is over, we dig deep into a pretty heavy discussion about drugs and addiction at the end.

Ep 70 - Comedian Anjelah Johnson

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/10/02

Ever wonder what it's like to become famous almost instantly? Just a few months after starting comedy, Anjelah Johnson had that experience when her joke about a Vietnamese nail salon went viral with the perfect storm of YouTube, email and MySpace. Listen to her story of what it was like being thrown into a headliner's position when she didn't have enough material, rising to the occasion and learning along the way how rough this business can be. Fortunately, Anjelah is still selling out and growing

Ep 69 - Comedian Felicia Michaels

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/09/25

Felicia Michaels is a pioneer in comedy. People like Amy Shumer and Sarah Silverman have her to thank for pushing the envelope when she was starting in comedy. Yes, she was not the first, but in mainstream comedy in the 80s it was very rare - a female comic who talked about the same things men were talking about. So it's appropriate that she's our 69th episode! Felicia started out as a stripper and then got into the comedy world, got married and adopted a couple kids and took a long break from

Ep 67 - Comedian Kevin Shea

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/09/11

Kick back and listen to us talk with a very funny comedian, Kevin Shea. He opened for me in San Jose last week and I thought it would be good for you guys to hear his stories. This mild-mannered, soft-spoken comedian might surprise you with some of the things he's been through in his life. One of the few comedians I know who can hold an audience's attention while doing his whole stage act sitting down.

2015/09/04

Rodrigo is back from Mexico so we got caught up. We finally got to sit down with the great Tom Green! Hilarious, weird, and a super kind, honest human being.

Listen to how he has come full circle in his career by going back to the basics of his very first cable access show but updated with the latest interactive technology.

Ep 65 - Laugh Factory Owner Jamie Masada

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/08/28

Forgive Jamie's microphone. He was talking with lots of acting out so he moves it a lot. Also, after 36 years in Los Angeles, he still has a thick Iranian accent. I've known Jamie Masada, the owner of the Laugh Factory for about 17 years. This is the man who told me that he didn't see me making it for another 6 years and crushed my dreams early in my stand-up career. He's done it to a lot of people. But he's usually right. He knows what's funny. Hear the story of a teenage immigrant from Iran who

Ep 64 - Call In Show #2

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/08/21

We did another call-in show today. Just me and Rodrigo. I kind of like these shows without a guest because I get to get a lot of stuff off my chest and then people who get mad at what I say just start to go away and I'm left with the hardcore fans who get me. We also try discussing Straight Outta Compton with some of the callers. Like it or not, leave a review or give it a rating, whatever. Send me hate mail, I don't care! It's free!

Okay, kids, try to keep up! Today we have comedian Jimmy Shubert - been in the game since the heyday of the Comedy Store and Sam Kinison. He's worked his ass off since he was a young kid doing magic shows. Throughout the ups and downs of comedy and Hollywood, he has stuck with it and is now enjoying a resurgence of attention after landing in the top 10 of Last Comic Standing last year and Dave Attell's Underground.

When I invited comedian Joey Medina to do my podcast, I figured I wouldn't learn anything new about him after knowing him for almost 20 years… man, was I wrong.

Comedian Brian Babylon joins us today. This fool just got to L.A. about a month ago from Chicago and started hustling the minute he stepped off the plane. He already has a regular n ight at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood and a job producing and doing media for Hannibal Buress' new Comedy Central show "Why?". Hear what it's like for a new comic to start all over again but on another level in a strange land called Hollywood. *BTW Rodrigo didn't know there was a show today, so he's not here. We have

Ep 59 - Comedian Owen Smith

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/07/17

You might have seen Owen Smith in one of many commercials, TV shows or movies, or you might have seen him on stage doing stand up. He's always been a funny, down to earth guy who rubs elbows with lots of people in the business who know how to get things done. That's what inspired him to do his own 1 hour special, "Good Luck Everybody", all on his own - shot on a few iPhones. No one has done this before. It's risky, it's disruptive to the people who do specials for a living, and it's brilliant. I

I've known comedian Lahna Turner for a long time. Long before her husband became famous. But enough about him. Today it's all about Lahna. She's funny, sometimes she picks up a guitar and sings funny songs, she's worked the hardest, cholo-infested rooms in the middle of nowhere, she's worked on stage in the nude, she's a mother, she has a podcast and she has a new one-hour special out on Hulu.

What"s Up Fool? Podcast ·

2015/06/26

On this historic day when the SCOTUS ruled that same sex marriage is now legal across the U.S., we close out our Gay Pride Month series with the hilarious comedian Fortune Feimster. She's just an awesome person. Grew up in a very conservative town in the south, came to L.A., worked in improv groups and then stand-up, then became a writer and sometimes actor on Chelsea Lately which took her to new heights in her career and started opening lots of doors. She deserves it all. She's super nice and funny

We're on our 3rd Pride Month episode. All June we're having LGBT guests on the show and today is no different. We invited an old friend of mine to come talk about her experience growing up Asian and very religious in the same gang riddled projects as me while knowing she was very different from everyone else. She's grown up quite a bit since I last saw her. Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe! Thanks for listening! LINKS Mahlanie: FACEBOOK:

2015/06/12

We're continuing our Pride Month series where we'll be having LGBT guests on every Friday in June. Today we have an old friend of mine from the Myspace days - rapper Deadlee (aka Joseph LeMar). He's gay and proud and you probably wouldn't be able to tell that he's gay unless he told you. He has pushed the boundaries, not just outside the gay community, but within the gay community as well - trying to prove that there are lots of different types of gay people and not just the ones the community

2015/06/05

The whole month of June, we're celebrating Pride Month and having LGBT guests on every Friday. We decided to kick it off with "America's Favorite Fag" (his words, not mine), comedian Thai Rivera. He may not be politically correct, but he's honest, he's funny and he's a comedy soldier who has worked some of the toughest rooms in the country. With only 12 years in the comedy game so far, he's already made a name for himself by being funny and telling it like it is. Listen to our no-holds-barred

"I am the Machine"… For Bert Kreischer fans, that's all you need to hear to get pumped up. For those of you who don't know Bert, after you hear his interview, he'll be your new best friend. He's just a genuine person, a guy who lays it all out, no mystery, no fake attitude, just a lot of life experience, an honest, funny way of looking at life and a laugh that rivals Rodrigo's… And did you know his life was the inspiration for the movie Van Wilder? He's also got popular shows on the Travel Channel
