Soren's Got a Mining Claim? | Ep. 337
5d ago00:50:07Tap to summarizeDaniel's brushing up on his Italian and looking for shortcuts, so he and Soren nail down exactly which phrases he's most likely to need on vacation in Italy with a newborn.

Transcribe →Extra Bonus Soren Iced Teas | Quick Question. Ep 336
2w ago00:49:23Tap to summarizeAfter a brief stretch on podcast etiquette — the wrong ways to listen to them, the hard part of explaining this one — the episode settles into its actual purpose: Daniel telling Soren to stop, basically. In a sorta Tarantino of last week's update, Soren explains and defends his ongoing plan to hide bottles of Just Ice Tea around a Whole Foods so tomorrow’s lunch will be cold, which Daniel correctly points out is the kind of behavior that makes a person memorable to staff. Then Soren turns to the equally manageable problem of youth baseball, where the punishment for winning appears to be more baseball forever.Thanks to Mint Mobile for sponsoring this episode.

Transcribe →The Sneaky Wheel Gets The Tea | Ep. 335
3w ago00:59:27Tap to summarizeThe guys do a heat check on owning your own printer, then talk data-driven reunion tours for millennial bands, Bo Burnham vs. Mr. Beast, and the 70’s as the bleakest decade on film. Plus, what Google AI got wrong about the Tony Awards and why Soren stands by scattering hidden iced teas throughout a Whole Foods. Thanks to ASPCA for sponsoring this episode.

Transcribe →America’s Gotta Water Her Garden State | Quick Question Ep. 334
3w ago00:56:27Tap to summarizeSoren returns from a rainy, kid-free trip to New Jersey with a suspiciously deep knowledge of the state bird, state flower, state animal, state dinosaur, and possibly every other official state object. Elsewhere, the guys discuss the futility of arguing politics on Nextdoor, the spiritual menace of squirrels, whether birds in your eaves count as tenants, skunks as pets and/or chemical weapons, raccoons with tiny hands, foxes versus coyotes, and the strange social behavior of people asking Googleable questions to their neighbors online.

Transcribe →Ryan Gosling's Impossible Stomach | Ep. 333
May 2600:59:34Tap to summarizeDaniel and Soren discuss stolen jokes, Gordon Ramsay’s many forms, and the cursed experience of being photographed by someone who loves you at the exact wrong angle. Then they spiral into body-image math, shirtless Jeff Bezos, Ryan Gosling’s unfair torso, and whether time travel would actually fix anything besides your ability to gamble on basketball.Thanks to Mint Mobile for sponsoring this episode.

Transcribe →Nobody Taught Us the Rules | Ep. 332
May 1900:47:54Tap to summarizeDaniel reveals that one of Soren’s forgotten novelty songs has become part of his son’s bedtime rotation, which somehow leads to a long conversation about sitcom logic, student council politics, famous people they went to school with, and the absolutely deranged social etiquette of high school and college.Topics include: Friends, Jersey Shore, theater kids, network procedurals, dorm room diplomacy, and the strange realization that nobody ever actually explains the rules of being young to you — everyone just sort of improvises and hopes for the best.To explore coverage, visit ASPCApetinsurance.com/QUESTION.

May 1201:01:49Tap to summarizeThe guys talk The Running Man specifically, Stephen King broadly, and shows they've noticed that seem to be catering to distracted audiences before diving in to a titular quick question about their favorite portrayls of good marriages in film and TV.

Transcribe →The NYT Crossword Broke People | Ep. 329
Apr 2800:57:02Tap to summarizeA New York Times crossword puzzle was accidentally unsolvable, which raises an important question: when something doesn’t make sense, is it broken, or are you just dumb?Soren and Daniel talk puzzles (both kinds), people who follow rules vs. people who look for loopholes, and why car horns should probably be illegal or at least--lest we be branded authoritarian--exhaustible. Then later, would you be surprised to learn that Soren got into another fight? Or that Daniel is unprepared to talk about Wheel of Fortune?All that PLUS Air Bud is Republican Coded and Soren is doing some facial hair things.

Transcribe →Sweaty Guy In The Basement | Ep. 328
Apr 2100:58:04Tap to summarizeDaniel starts out impossibly sweaty, which leads to a story about meeting his girlfriend’s entire family for the first time, hiding in the basement, and realizing he may be remembered forever as “that crazy sweaty guy.” From there, he and Soren debate the greatest cast shows ever, argue for Mad Men, The Wire, and Frasier, and swap audition horror stories, tech avails, and the perfect origin of Cliff Clavin’s know-it-all energy.Follow the guys on Bluesky!https://bsky.app/profile/danielobrien.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/sorenbowie.bsky.socialBonus episodes 2x/month at patreon.com/quickquestion OR Apple Podcasts
