What's Up Fool? Podcast

FELIPE ESPARZAwww.spreaker.com
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.

We had Doggface on back in 2020 right after he blew up with his Ocean Spray tik tok video. Buuutttt... it was when we were doing the show on Zoom during covid, so it didn't really count.
