  • Doing Bits During Emergency Training | Quick Question Ep. 316
    Jan 21 2026
    Daniel is fresh off an infant care class and a CPR certification, which leads to a wide-ranging conversation about how much preparation actually sticks when it matters. He and Soren talk swaddling, baby hygiene, circumcision care, and the unsettling reality that newborns are basically loose bags of milk. From there, things spiral into CPR etiquette, AED myths, corporate training videos, and the strange urge to do crowd work during emergency situations. Along the way, Soren recounts helping a lost child at a holiday light show—and the unexpectedly ambiguous text exchange that followed—while both hosts grapple with the question of when to step in, when to back away, and how anyone is supposed to know what to do in a crisis.

  • The Young & The Breakfast | Quick Question Ep. 315
    Jan 13 2026
    The guys talk Stranger Things Season 5, do the bleak math of middle-aged drinking, and the perverse little happiness spike that follows a truly harrowing puke. Speaking of puke, the guys discuss the sacred childhood joy of sick-day daytime TV (Judge Judy supremacy, soap operas as emotional concrete) and finally, Daniel and Soren spiral into TV industry doom: Netflix getting into the podcast game, prestige TV existing only as a side quest for tech companies, and the impossible task of ending a beloved show without stepping on an internet landmine—aka Finale School.
