  • People Who Make the Room Better | Quick Question Ep. 311
    Daniel has been obsessing over the part of Beatles lore where tensions are high, everyone hates each other, and the only thing keeping the world’s most famous band from imploding was… Billy Preston. That launches a full tour through the guys’ own...
  • Subway Sandwich Takes | Ep. 310
    Daniel struggles to stop fidgeting with studio equipment and recalls a disastrous coin-based incident on another podcast. Then, the guys analyze the decline of video quality in the Zoom era and the baffling visual language of TikTok mic-holding....
  • Ethan Hawke: The Last Cool Guy? | Ep. 309
    Daniel discovers two prestige TV shows that apparently materialized out of thin air, Soren admits he gets all his entertainment news from bus benches, and the guys spiral into how impossible it is to know anything that’s on television anymore. They...
  • It Seems Unfair To Call This a Cabal | Quick Question Ep. 308
    Interesting day to debut a mustache as the guys dig in to the newly released Epstein emails, but first Daniel takes us through the big midpoint ultrasound and the creeping realization that doctors are still just tired guys with bad phrasing and...

  • Bad and Sad: Daniel’s Homeowner Maintenance Checklist | Ep. 306

  • Soren And Daniel, Co-Parenting | Ep. 305
    Daniel's going to be a dad, and as you can guess he's being very normal about the whole thing, which means Soren gets to be the wise elder dispensing hard-earned advice about nap discipline, phantom drowning babies, and the forbidden art of sleeping...
  • Comedy Washing | Ep. 304
    Daniel and Soren wade into the Riyadh Comedy Festival mess: who showed up, who stayed home, and how much moral flexibility three million dollars buys. Then a hard pivot to domestic policy (when to wash a dish and when to call it art) before wrapping...
  • Hey Ya, But Folksy | Quick Question Ep. 303
    The guys solve sleeve thumb-holes earlier than expected, then move on to songs that slap-- specifically cover songs that slap-or at least did slap at one point in the mid-aughts. ---- SHOW NOTES?? Hey Ya (Outkast cover) by Obadiah Parker (Matt...
  • Did Hollywood Call? | Ep. 302
    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...
  • Seven Emmys in a One-Bedroom | Ep. 301
    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...
  • Six Degrees of... Giovanni Ribisi? | Quick Question Ep. 300
    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...
  • Can We Survive NFL Training Camp? | Ep. 299

  • Swamp Boys of New Jersey | Episode 298
    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...
  • Voice Acting for Animation + Post-Hollywood Businesses (Definitely Not Scams) | Ep. 297

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

  • In Self-Defense of Full House | Ep. 293
    The guys talk about Soren's weapon issue for as long as Daniel can muster, before they "cut. it. out!" and transition very normally to a celebration of the 90's sitcom Full House: catchphrases, effort level, what a rewatch is revealing to Daniel...
  • Who Invented the Cougar Room? | Ep. 292
    Daniel and Soren reunite after a long break you didn’t notice to talk about movies best half-watched on airplanes, why Michael Clayton still rules, and what it means to “gang up” on a punchline. They get deep into terminology of their respective...
