What's Up Fool?
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. Everyone has a story to tell about how they got where they are, no matter who they are.

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.

Today we talk with rapper/actor Anthony "Citric" Campos. Citric is currently playing George Lopez's best friend "Manolo" on the new TVLand show "Lopez". I met Citric about 7 years ago when I was doing my first real movie and he was in the cast. He has also been heavily involved in Latin hip-hop with his group Pueblo Cafe (aka Brown Town Looters). Watch him on Lopez and look out for some new music coming from him and Pueblo Cafe soon. Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe!

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. Barry has so many stories, we barely scratched the surface today, but he talks about getting started in the comedy business, managing some of the biggest stars in comedy in the past and how we got to know each other.

Today's guests are a morning radio team in the Oxnard/Los Angeles CA area. These guys have been doing this together for 20 years and have been supporting comedians for the same amount of time. They were the first radio station to always invite us young comics, especially Latino comedians, to be guests on their morning show and promote our upcoming shows, helping us all to build a strong local audience. They just love comedy and they're some of the few genuine people in this business. Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe! Thanks for listening!

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 enjoy!
