NBA training camp is right around the corner, which means it's time for me to get excited about my beloved Los Angeles Clippers! Joining me in that pursuit is a fellow diehard, the actor and podcaster Paul Scheer.

Do you know where the word "soccer" comes from and how certain countries came to prefer it over "football"? I didn't either, until I needed to look up for this series. Honestly, I went in thinking it was simply a matter of cultural differences. But now? Well...take a listen. Recommended playback speed: 1x

Jessica "Smetty" Smetana uses her degree in television studies from the University of Notre Dame (yes, actually) to help me tackle the most important questions of our day — for instance: How did Roy read 'A Wrinkle In Time' so quickly? Will Ted host a podcast in season 3? And should we launch Trent Crimm straight into the sun? By the way: if you want to sponsor this show, send an inquiry to koldwateraudio@gmail.com.

Two Koreans on one podcast? I know, it's highly unconventional. But I had to do this second episode with my eating buddy Sean Yoo because, well, it's about friendship forged through food (and like a million other things).
