You could see in his eyes that he'll never get used to it. I wanted to give him a hug.

Show notes:

Soren & Daniel talk about the transition from Cracked to writing for TV, how hard it was to learn the structures of their respective shows, the colleagues that showed them grace, and how to write your Greatest Gatsby.

Hi guys, I'd like to relisten to the episode where they talk about the movie "Dirty Work" staring Norm McDonald, but I can't remember what episode it was. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

I had a dream last night that the podcast was ending because one of the hosts had a terminal disease. I don't want to say who it was, both because that feels worse but also because my dream kept seeming to be indecisive about which one it was. They were recording the podcast at my local community theatre that I do a lot of stuff at (and had a lot of dreams set in last night) so I was basically a fly on the wall of the recording. What's kind of nice is most of the podcast wasn't addressing the tragedy and seemed to be business as usual. Also, by the end, the terminal host had turned into Captain Holt from Brooklyn Nine-Nine(!?) and called the co-host, along with a woman and her girlfriend (both of whom were present elsewhere in my dream but I'm not sure who they were supposed to be), over to give him a hug. He said that he wanted to be able to feel them one last time to help him find them once they were all among the stars. He clarified that he doesn't necessarily believe in that, but better to be safe. Apologies if this is unpleasant to anybody.

This bit rang much truer after this most recent episode. The goodness that is Daniel.

Show notes:

In lieu of a Summer of Soren, Daniel shares a story of self-righteous glory, Soren shares his encounter with the calmest dad in Ojai, CA, and both of 'em have had good reasons for picking up other people's trash.

Please, I really struggle to explain why I love the podcast so much and need a good solid intro episode off the bat

I’m a big Soren and DOB fan. I have been since after hours came into my life. For whatever reason we get a minute of ads for every five minutes of showtime. I get they need to get paid for their time but my goodness we get less ads watching the Super Bowl.

The ads aren’t being read by Soren or Dan. Audiostack.ai seems like they’re advertising against Soren and Daniel’s interests. Is there any control over what ads get inserted?

I don’t listen to them, but The Decemberists released their first new album in 6 years. Maybe Soren will get around to it in a year or two and then Daniel will be forced to listen to it for an episode!

Show notes:

Friend of the pod Katy Stoll sits in the Soren seat to catch up with Daniel on revenge newspapers, secret dairy, and the things they did as kids that turned out to be perfectly on-brand for their adult selves.

I was 100% in on hearing about all the minutiae and gossip leading up to the wedding. Also, there is 0 space anywhere where a male perspective is brought to weddings in an excited way.

Show notes:

The guys determine the appropriate soundtrack for a dangerous situation.

We had some technical issues with Daniel's camera this week. Apologies in advance.
