David Cooper (host)

Other people.

We have found a professor of Slavic literature with the same name as me who lives a different life.

And we're going to have a fascinating conversation.

Calling all modern David Coopers of the world right now.

We are going to discuss the topic on everyone's mind in the media.

Slavic languages and literatures.

What the heck am I talking about?

Well, a few weeks ago, my producer reached out to other prominent David Coopers.

We have one here on the show.

He is a Slavic languages and literatures professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

And I'm excited to have him here.

David, what a joy it is to have you on the show.

I'm so happy you invited me.

This promises to be fun.

Do I need to establish dominance right now, like with you?

Like, do I have to try to come off as smarter than you?

Spoiler, I probably won't.

According to the demographic of people named Clara Cooper, my mother, I think you're right.

I am more famous than you.

Let's talk about being named David Cooper, because I think there's other people out there who have generic names like they Google themselves.
