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 up with wasp warfare and the case for seeing what everyone on the internet actually looks like.Thanks to Shopify for sponsoring this episode.

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 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.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

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 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.To explore coverage, visit ASPCApetinsurance.com/QUESTION.

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 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?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
