About this listen

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.Copyright FELIPE ESPARZA Social Sciences

    WHATS'S UP FOOL? EP 560

    Felipe welcomes back Juan Catalan to What's Up Fool?

    Juan was facing the death penalty for a murder he didn't commit until a "one in a million" miracle outtake from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" proved his alibi. He’s back on the show to update us on his incredible journey. Check out his book "Played: A Murder Case A Hollywood Miracle & Dodgers Baseball" on Amazon or wherever you buy books. Here’s where he’s at now: Juan is now a prominent advocate for the wrongly accused. He works closely with legal teams and speaks at law schools to push for judicial reform and better investigative standards, ensuring what happened to him never happens to anyone else.
