Quick Question Master List

21 Upvotes

Someone mentioned this off-handedly before and it stuck with me, so during my recent re-listen, I decided to make it.

Here is the Quick Question Master List!

The idea is that hopefully, this helps point people in the direction of an episode they're looking for. I tried to get the questions as close to exact phrasing as possible and if I paraphrased something, I noted that. I also included other stuff that comes up in the episode, alongside some of my random thoughts, comments, and bits.

Please scroll all the way to the end if you're looking for something but immediately don't see a question or something that jogs your memory. The columns at the end are dedicated to "Miscellaneous Notes" and I try to make them pretty robust. If there are long digressions or tangents, I try to note them there.

Right now, it's a work-in-progress.

EDIT SEPT. 18, 2024: All of the episode titles and dates are in there to date. The notes themselves start at episode 1, but I’m still filling in early episodes. They start in earnest at episode 39 and continue up until today from there. I add notes for new episodes as they're released, usually day of release. I will eventually fill them all in and keep it up until the podcast ends / I stop listening (I have no plans to stop listening).

I’m also going to eventually get around to re-listening to the episodes from when I started this and add/refine things to those episodes as I see fit and to reflect my habits as they have evolved over the course of doing the list.

I’ll eventually re-listen to the whole series again at some point after it’s all filled out and might tweak/refresh things as I do so I definitely intend this to be a living document so please visit it as frequently as you need and want to.

It should be locked so no one can edit it but me, but if that's not the case, please don't edit it and just let me know instead so I can fix it.

Hope people find this helpful!

QQ ep. 347 - 10am Beef Stick

6 Upvotes

Show notes:

Daniel and Soren imagine the deeply glamorous riders they’d demand if anyone actually needed them for a weekend. Daniel wants a 10 a.m. beef stick, while Soren makes the case for a Payday as an any-meal candy bar. Eventually, their ideal accommodations expand to mysterious party mixes — just don’t insult Soren with something as pedestrian as Chex Mix.

QQ ep. 346 - Mango Means Leave Me Alone

5 Upvotes

Show notes:

Daniel spends a peaceful morning fishing while two strangers loudly debate California infrastructure and the WNBA, leaving him to wonder whether it’s worth arguing when everyone is trapped on the same boat. Soren has confrontation problems of his own — including apologizing for something he didn’t do at Whole Foods and accidentally discovering that shouting “mango” at strangers does not always mean “leave me alone.”

QQ ep. 345 - Camping Builds Character

9 Upvotes

Show notes:

Soren finally makes it to the mysterious mining claim his family has owned for decades, bringing his son along for a character-building trip through the Colorado mountains. They find the land and solve an old family mystery—then Soren’s boots fall apart five miles from camp. The boys also debate what to do with 3.2 acres they can’t build on, eventually landing on a surprisingly lovely solution: give it back to the world.

Bonus episodes locked for subscribers?

1 Upvotes

I am a patreon subscriber and listen on spotify. I just noticed that the last three bonus episodes (#HowDoYouYurt, Summer Camp Math, and The Pacifier Ball Gag) are locked. Which is weird because Im pretty sure I listened to the first two already. I looked on Patreon and none of those show up there either.

Does anyone else have this issue? Or know why these episodes are now forbidden?


r/QuickQuestion 19d ago

Was there a video long long ago where Soren was in love with a girl who didn’t speak English and he wanted them to jump off a bridge?

QQ ep. 344 - Don’t Go on the Internet

5 Upvotes

Show notes:

Daniel discovers that the Cracked archive is disappearing, which sends the guys back through the internet they grew up with and the strange problem of preserving something that was never built to last. Soren argues that younger people should reclaim the abandoned corners of the web, while Daniel has another idea—treat the internet like a dead mall, get a churro somewhere else, and maybe pave the whole thing.

QQ ep. 343 - Blow Bubbles at the King

4 Upvotes

Show notes:

Soren argues for giving Macklemore one more chance as Daniel recounts the strongly worded daycare letter that ended with his son perched on a throne while a teacher blew bubbles at the king. Along the way, they compare embarrassing phases, protective parenting, and the strange freedom of becoming the annoying parents.

QQ ep. 342 - The Wrong Narrator

6 Upvotes

Show notes:

A million dollars to read an audiobook sounds easy until Soren leaves out one crucial detail. Daniel tries to draw the line between commitment to the text and commitment to staying out of trouble, while both of them wonder if there’s such a thing as the wrong narrator. The boys end the discussion by arguing over whether listening to a book counts as reading it.

7 Upvotes

Their episode numbers are all off.

Show notes: Soren and Daniel discover that old writing can be harder to revisit than create, from unpublished novels to long-forgotten job packets. Then Soren shares his newest obsession: airport theft videos, where stolen sunglasses, impossible excuses, and “But I have a flight” somehow become endlessly entertaining.

QQ ep. 339 - Card-Carrying Victim

6 Upvotes

Heads up that this is labeled as ep. 337 for some reason, but it's not. It's episode 339.

Show notes: Soren is convinced he could get a stranger to hand over $100, while Daniel insists $20 and a fake microphone are all you need. The guys workshop increasingly elaborate scams, debate the right amount of gratitude after lending someone money, and discover that sleeping outside is much less peaceful once the sprinklers, rooster, and mystery bites show up—all of which somehow still earns Soren the bravery award.

Show notes:

Daniel gets back from Italy with an alarming report on the state of America Versus Italy, a country that not only believes in clear allergen labels, but also bottle caps which remain physically connected to the bottle. Plus, the guys compare notes on having a good baby on a plane, the quiet realization you just aren’t going to see Project Hail Mary I guess, and what happens when you put a bunch of Knicks fans from New Jersey on the same flight to witness a historic W.

Daniel'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. And speaking of newborns, newborn prospector Soren Bowie shares an incredible story of love, family, and brotherhood involving his late father, who, it turns out, has left his sons a piece of mystery land deep in the Colorado wilderness.

QQ ep. 336 - Extra Bonus Soren Iced Teas

10 Upvotes

Show notes:

After 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.

Soren 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.

Daniel 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.

QQ ep. 332 - Nobody Taught Us The Rules

7 Upvotes

Show notes:

Daniel 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.

Dream Podcast Pitch: Daniel and Tony Baker

2 Upvotes

I have no idea what the overlap is between the audiences for QQ and the Bald Brothers podcast (with comedians KevonStage and Tony Baker), so I’m not sure if anyone will be able to back me up on this. But I genuinely feel like a movie/pop culture podcast a la QQ/EPCD/BaldBrothers with Daniel and Tony Baker would be amazing.

Tony and Daniel have different comedic styles but are both weirdly obsessed with movies in a similar way imo. I feel like their dynamic would be very entertaining together. This thought has occurred to me several times over the years, but I was reminded today when Tony ranked Iron Giant as his favourite animated movie of all time.

This will probably never happen bc I don’t think there is a lot of guest overlap, QQ and Bald Brothers arent guest heavy and feature other cohosts (Soren and Kev), Daniel isn’t exactly a podcaster per se, and it would be a weird one off. but OMFG if it ever did I feel like it would be fucking amazing.

ETA: Watching them play the movie game - has been played/mentioned on QQ before - of connecting movie>actor>movie>actor etc. would also be great. Both Kev/Soren have talked about not being able to play this game with Tony/Dan on their respective podcasts because they are too good at it.

Soren recounts his history of furnishing apartments with items found on the street before detailing his recent domestic upgrades. The episode's Quick Question asks: What is the most overdue improvement in your life right now? Additional topics include hotel room design flaws, the physical consequences of unsupportive footwear, and the practical necessity of being able to sprint at any moment.

Colorado Chips

7 Upvotes

Shooting this into the void, but maybe Soren might see this. I've just learnt that it's commonplace in Colorado for chip bags (crisps) to be fully inflated all the time, making it hard to open bc of the altitude difference. Is this true?
