Quick Question with Soren and Daniel ·

2025/11/18

Quick Question with Soren and Daniel ·

Did Hollywood Call? | Ep. 302

Quick Question with Soren and Daniel ·

2025/09/30

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

The question is, can they come up with a new game without getting sidetracked by more lists of names?Follow the guys on
