So hello again and welcome to another episode of quick question with

Soren and Daniel a show with two friends both white comedy writers who have played

bass guitar on the side spent their summers on the Jersey

short and have moms that taught sex education but whom otherwise have nothing in

common in a time when America couldn't be more divided. These two people with completely different backgrounds get together once a week to find some middle ground of their unique perspectives to answer all of life's small questions in balanced and nuanced ways. I am one half of this crazy divide

Daniel O'Brien and with me as always is Soren Bowie Soren hello. Hello I am Soren. I liked how you started this podcast Daniel with a

yeah I think that's gonna be an ongoing thing okay I appreciate it also great

lead in yeah yeah I thought that one was wonderful very succinct articulate

mhm don't get used to it well why don't we change next week we got that one in can. Why don't we just reuse it every time?

Nah, I don't think that's, I don't think that's really our style. I think, uh, I think you,

you attach yourself to a person who in the beginning is in love with couch gags and then grows to resent them but feels bound by the rules of them.

So that's what you're stuck with.

People should know that when Dan used to do stand up back in the day

he would never do the same set twice and insisted that he would not, never do the same jokes twice,

except if there would be some long-running joke that he wanted to include in every single one of his

his sets. I think one of them was, and they were just bits for you. I mean they are not funny to anybody else. It was like I was walking down the street was an important thing for you to have in every single one of your sets for a while. Is that right? That's correct. I would have every single set that I did

involve the phrase I was walking down the street

at some point, and every comedy set

that I had ever done involved the words, cheese it and sometimes I am you talking about like the actual

product cheese it's and sometimes I would say you're escaping it's the cops yeah like like the way that people in the 40s would would yell when they needed to run from the fuzz and sometimes I would be like I love cheese. It's one of my favorite things and it's the kind of joke that I love to do because it's only for someone who has been

Obsessively paying attention to everything I've ever done in my entire life, which is an audience of fun fact no one.

Do you know the phrase artificial hurdles?
