Felipe Esparza

Now I can call Timbuk2, and it'll sound like that person sitting right next to me.

Why am I giving you this lesson, you ask?

Well, here's a TCB history lesson.

Early on in the show, I made a decision, for better or for worse, to air everything that came out of the microphones.

You see, some podcasters like to cut out the ums and the ahs and the breaths.

And they even go so far as to fact check and make sure the things that they are saying are actually true.

Not here on the commercial break.

When I speak, I'm just as dumb as I sound.

So when you hear an episode of the commercial break, there's almost zero editing of the actual content.

I almost tripped out on that corner because they had jazz bar, jazz bar, tofu restaurant, Atlanta Punchline, and some Mexican restaurant with a Sharpie, and then the daycare.

This is a very long precursor to today's episode with the incredibly talented comedian Felipe Esparza.

A couple of weeks before the holidays, Chrissy had to take a day off.

So Christina joined me in the studio when I interviewed Felipe.

And even though we're using the magic technology of 2024, this episode at times sounds like we're making the very first phone call in 1876.

We didn't realize any of this until long after Felipe had said goodbye.

Then I struggled and striped in my own brain.

I tossed and turned and lost sleep, not really, over whether or not I should even air this episode.

But Felipe was hilarious, and the conversation is one of the most wide-ranging, weird, and interesting we've ever had with a guest.
