We visit the former Soviet Union for today's episode. Our guest Namik takes us to Kaluga, a city that has been around for about 600 years and has played a significant role in the history and study of cosmology and space travel. Namik introduces us to hospitality in Azerbaijan, which triggers a forgotten memory in me, a reminder of similar generosity existing around the world.

Namik also touches on food, his love for Tupac Shakur (his wife loves Tupac just the same way too), his culture shocks, along with advice for writers and how he has trolled me once or twice. We didn't touch much on football because it was on the eve of El Classico that we recorded. I like to think that he did not want the smoke, Hahaha.
