Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the first episode of quick question with

Soren and Daniel a podcast where two buddies talk and sort of figure it out as they

go along I am Daniel O'Brien and And I am sore and booey.

Yeah, we were, so we should give the people some context,

because we worked closely together for 10 years.

We were buddies for a decade out in Los Angeles. I would say you were my best friend.

You would say that? Yeah. Take that, Soren's wife. Well, I mean, obviously in the same way that a wife is supposed to be a risk-fring,

yeah, all that counts.

But you were like my best friend.

Yeah, if I were to rank my best friends in Los Angeles, number one, gotta be the fans. Two, the city. Three,

soaring. I mean that's a bronze medal. That's still on the podium.

I'll take it. But, we wanted to start a podcast and then I did the

stupidest thing I ever did which was accept a job that was 3,000 miles away for

Emmy and P Buddy and Writers Guild Award winning last week tonight with John Oliver.

And we decided we weren't we weren't going to let distance keep this podcast from going because I think we can all agree that the

world needs another podcast where two white guys talk to each other about things they observe.

Finally, white guys getting a fair shake in this society. It's really, if I had to figure

out what this was, it was, I want to stay in touch with you and figure out what's going on in your life because I miss you.

But the realities of platonic mail phone calls is still kind of a mystery to me.

Yeah, I've talked to you on the phone before you're not good at it. Oh, thank you very much. Yeah. You, I always think you're mad at me. Yeah. When you're on the phone, it's you don't sound happy I was somebody calls you this is the way it goes

somebody will call you and you'll go yeah and then that's right and then we'll get to like the meat of the matter and you'll you have kind of like one word

answers and it's like okay and sometimes there's a goodbye which is nice sometimes it's just like in a movie
