This week Jun and Daniel dive into the world of humor and comedy. If you’ve heard of Danny Cho, Gag Concert (개그콘서트), High Kick! (거침없이 하이킥), Infinite Challenge (무한도전), or 1 Night 2 Days (1박2일), listen in as Jun does his best to give Daniel an overview of the history of comedy in Korea, from its Japanese and American roots to a recent stand-up show he attended. Did humor exist at all in Korea before this current generation? What was Daniel’s experience with Asian American comedians growing up?  What American thing is one of the most popular Korean YouTube channels making fun of? What is a robot’s favorite food? Where do astronauts go to drink?

If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! This week Daniel shares some trauma from one of his previous boss’ sarcastic comments to his parents, makes a big confession about his comedic preferences, reveals who his favorite Friends’ character was, and embarassingly struggles to understand Jun’s Korean dad jokes.
