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.

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.

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 has risen from nothing to a major player in the Hollywood community. Also hear his side of the Michael Richards incident as he describes what happened that night from a business owner's perspective.

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!

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 little Miklo sitting in as a co-host for a little bit too. Enjoy! Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe! Thanks for listening!

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 can't wait to see it. Just another inspiring story of doing it on your own and not waiting for someone else to hand it to you. Please take 5 seconds to rate or review the podcast on itunes and if you like it subscribe!

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. It also might be the most discussion of penises we've Check her out. Truly one of the most caring friends I've known in Hollywood.
