  • Did Hollywood Call? | Ep. 302

    Did Hollywood Call? | Ep. 302
    Sep 30 2025
    Daniel talks through the post-Emmy afterglow that never arrived: a clean cut to Kimmel, a week of headlines, and then absolutely no industry knock at the door—no agents, no meetings, not even a polite threat. Soren matches him with his own long relationship to being un-represented on a very represented show. Plus the private logic of phones and closets: color-gradient app grids, folders labeled “Who Cares,” bottom-row dock politics, and the eternal “useful” pile. Finally, a full throated endorsement for Writing Things Down.

  • Seven Emmys in a One-Bedroom | Ep. 301

    Seven Emmys in a One-Bedroom | Ep. 301
    Sep 23 2025
    Forgive us if this is getting predictable, but Daniel's back from another Emmys weekend in Los Angeles — his seventh award, but the first time he’s actually given the speech. He and Soren talk through the stress of timing jokes against Nate Bargatze’s running bit, how John Oliver beat him to the shortest-speech gag, and what it feels like to have too many trophies in a small apartment. Plus detours into plane movies (Mickey 17 and, controversially, Oblivion), fake dicks in White Lotus, and why some celebrities are simply more naked than others.

  • Six Degrees of... Giovanni Ribisi? | Quick Question Ep. 300

    Six Degrees of... Giovanni Ribisi? | Quick Question Ep. 300
    Sep 16 2025
    Daniel and Soren celebrate their 300th episode by not celebrating at all. Instead, they try to find a modern equivalent for the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game. Their journey of naming working actors takes them on a wild ride of channel numbers, 90s baseball players, and the secret lives of character actors. The question is, can they come up with a new game without getting sidetracked by more lists of names?

  • Can We Survive NFL Training Camp? | Ep. 299

    Can We Survive NFL Training Camp? | Ep. 299
    Sep 9 2025
    Soren and Daniel spiral from NFL training camp envy to the existential dread of improv comedy. Along the way: childhood coaches who never found the magic words, the dream of living in dorms again, why “maximum capacity” should be on a tombstone, and recurring nightmares about being forced onto @dropout Game Changer.

  • Swamp Boys of New Jersey | Episode 298

    Swamp Boys of New Jersey | Episode 298
    Sep 3 2025
    Soren and Daniel once again find themselves in the middle of a podcast about home maintenance, as Daniel reckons with sabotaging his own washer and almost taking credit for fixing it. He also tries to make sense of driveway contractors who negotiate against themselves. Soren, meanwhile, explains efflorescence, revisits the joys of attics and crawl spaces, and describes the particular misery of hauling out a possum that’s been dead too long. Stay damp out there, folks.

  • Voice Acting for Animation + Post-Hollywood Businesses (Definitely Not Scams) | Ep. 297

    Voice Acting for Animation + Post-Hollywood Businesses (Definitely Not Scams) | Ep. 297
    Aug 27 2025
    Daniel and Soren split their time between two topics: voice acting for animation, where Soren takes us behind the scenes of American Dad for some interesting observations about talent and skill, and then a titular Quick Question from titular Daniel about starting franchise businesses. The first half covers everything from Homer Simpson’s changing sound to Seth MacFarlane’s least favorite voice to why impressions can’t replace original delivery. The second half imagines what kind of franchises they’d bring to their own towns — from Daniel’s deliberately short-term fitness studio to Soren’s dream of importing Tucson’s beloved Beyond Bread to Los Angeles.

  • Pickleball for Powerful Podcasters | Ep. 296

    Pickleball for Powerful Podcasters | Ep. 296
    Aug 19 2025
    Email the show at qqwithsorenanddaniel@gmail.com, DM us on instagram, or leave a comment on YouTube to let us know where in the world you’d like to see the guys perform.

    Soren and Daniel cover a lot of ground this week: from Saw lore and the long overdue *Muppets Saw* starring Michael Caine, to Daniel’s glowing review of *Freakier Friday* (“movies are back”). They weigh in on the dubious “Most Powerful Podcasters” list, take swings at chicken cacciatore and oysters, and get into Daniel’s shocking breakup with ketchup. Also on the menu: raw-dogged hash browns, the defense of meatloaf, and why pickleball might just be an MLM for rich people.

  • Pop Culture Mystery Minute + The Cracked Sketch That Wasn't

    Pop Culture Mystery Minute + The Cracked Sketch That Wasn't
    Aug 12 2025
    The guys solve a pop culture mystery, fawn over John Malkovich, dive into the "clip show" nature of Happy Gilmore 2 and Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, and realize how much harder they made things on themselves while writing After Hours.
