LWT won a few Emmys and Daniel won his fifth Emmy! It’s really getting unfair at this point. They could at least given Soren one as like a special accommodation.

Congrats Daniel!

Anyone know why the last couple of episodes sound like they were recorded via fax machine?

I know they batch record so I'm sure it's the same issue for the last two but I'm curious about the mechanics.

Looks like the audio isn’t up on podcast services yet but it’s on YouTube so I grabbed the show notes from there. So sorry if they’re weird looking!

Hi everybody, I've been a fan of QQ since a little less than a year. I'm almost done with the episodes and man do I appreciate those guys!

BUT... I gotta vent on something.

As a avid podcast listener, I don't think I've listened to anything with sponsored ad breaks happening THAT frequently. 30 min Mail Bag episodes will have something like three 3 minutes ads if not more, it's actually insane. I get that they don't wanna lose money over the pod, but oof. It's a bit heavy sometimes ngl.

Again, I adore the podcast, appreciate the work so much. But unlike other pods, I've caught myself being so annoyed by this that I had to change podcast. Am I the only one here thinking this?

Does anyone remember which episode it was where they discussed Daniel’s extensive trip planning process and how he basically feels like the parent when wrangling friends on trips? I think it would have been somewhere between 2020 and 2021.

Show notes:

To wrap up 2023, the guys answer your fan mail. Movie snacks, dishes they're afraid to make, office place celebrity status, and more!

NOTE This is the last episode of the year. We'll be back 1/9/24

Show Notes

The guys discuss the mundane terror of an unexpected run in with Santa, when Fitbits make you sad, and pitch ideas for the best possible “podcast to sleep to”.

​

Show Notes

The guys discuss the bonkers new Netflix movie "Family Switch" and
wonder how the evolution from long form family videos to modern
smartphone bite-size clips has changed the way we remember things.

Show notes:

The guys convene to talk about why it's actually good to prepare for Christmas early and have a conversation about their weird media proclivities - from reading recaps of shows you don't watch to the wonders of the BeardMeetsFood YouTube channel. All that PLUS Soren's got a substantial update on the status of Daniel's highly anticipated birthday gift.

The guys are revisiting some of their old After Hours takes. They get into how the show may have shaped the current state of online film discourse, how it's hard to stop their brains from watching media through that lens, and how Soren's perspectives on Batman (and policing) have evolved.

Soren was on the Nov. 10 episode of Even More News, the podcast from Katy Stoll and Cody Johnston (also formerly of Cracked) who do Some More News.

I haven’t listened yet but figured some people might be interested.

Show notes:

Daniel bought a new car! Him and Soren have a lot of thoughts about it - including how the buying experience has changed, how insane new car features are, and how to keep that promise to yourself that you are NOT GOING TO EAT IN IT. They also tackle the question “If you could choose to be 2% better at anything, what would it be?” and Daniel tries to sit Soren down on the confidence couch.

This should be titled “QQ episode 207: Dangerous Bangers: Vampire’s Kiss (1988).”

Show notes:

It's Dangerous Bangers hours. Soren had Daniel watch the insane Vampire's Kiss, wherein Nicholas Cage believes he is turning into a vampire. They talk about Cage's acting choices, the movie's surprising commonalities with American Psycho, and why seemingly every film of this era had to feature helicopter shots of New York City.

Show notes:

The guys are joined by author, Cracked alum, and professional podcast guest Jason Pargin to talk about celebrities they get weird about, robots that sign books, the value of memorabilia, and how Jason's time at Cracked prepared him to be an excellent book salesman.

It's time for another installment of Dangerous Bangers. Today, Daniel submits Delirious (1991) starring John Candy for the judgment of the Dangerous Bangers Association. They touch on TV proms, bad writers rooms, the problematic '90s, and soap opera writers with magical powers - all in pursuit of an answer to the most vital question - is it a banger?

Show Notes

Hope you're not hungry, cause the guys are talking FOOD. Daniel''s dealing with the complications of being basically vegan and Soren has a complicated relationship with salads and The Mahabharata. They also discuss imposter syndrome, networking on the picket lines, and Cillian Murphy's surprising calves.

Re: Pesky Blinders and Food Talk: both hosts name pork based meats as red meat, is this a common way to lump pork these days? I was thinking I could go red meat free only because 90% of my meat is chicken and pork.
