"Spaghetti is to pasta what said is to writing." This man is a genius.

Before anyone panics about the beard, it says in the description that this interview was filmed "towards the end of 2023"!

Man, the beard is glorious. It sets post-"Year Of Sanderson" apart from pre-"TYOS".

@IAmSilverlined 5 ай бұрын

I have no right to care about someone else's facial hair as much as I care about Brandon's, and I know it's strange, but boy do I love the beard on him. He really rocks it, in my opinion.

I need you to know that 30 minutes into this episode I was so hungry I ordered pasta from Noodles & Co. and it was delicious.

Just to close the loop on Brandon's question about whether the mac and cheese only restaurant is still in NYC (at 37:45 ish), there is a restaurant called Sarita's on 1st Ave and 12th St in Manhattan that might be the one he was thinking of! It's great, serves big skillets of different types of mac and cheese

Oh man, I was enthralled by the reminiscing in the beginning, was almost sad when Five Favorites actually started 😂these day in the life/inside look type things in the publishing industry are super interesting

Heck, I'd love it if Joshua would guest on the podcast, just to have ~40 minutes of that.

Omg I'm so early. I just want to say that you are the biggest inspiration in my writing, Brandon. My friends are literally sick of hearing me talk about how much the Stormlight Archives have impacted my life. I can't wait for book 5 to come out, and I really hope I'll get to see you at the Dragonsteel convention 😊❤

Honestly, 4 minutes in and this is already such a gem. Would be great to have these as podcast versions as well. Always listen to Intentionally Blank on my runs, and I (literally) run through those episodes far too quick. Any plans on ever pushing your non-Intentionally Blank episodes to the podcast platforms? Also: this episode and "The State of the Publishing Industry" were fascinating looks into your journey towards here. It would definitely be great to hear more from Joshua and you in the future.

@IAmSilverlined 5 ай бұрын

I like these videos around 50% for the topic of the discussion, and 50% for Brandon getting really cool, intelligent, and interesting people on to talk to and give some exposure to (and vice versa). I'm not sure if I would have ever run into Joshua before, but, man, it has been a joy listening to him! Same for every other guest that's been on one of these!

@khyrianstorms 5 ай бұрын

Absolutely. I also love that his cadence of talking is so atypical and complementary to Brandon. There's such thoughtfulness to his overall atmosphere. @@IAmSilverlined

Brandon pronounced farfalle correctly, it means butterflies, because of the shape (and i guess they're also a bit lighter).

I associate elbow macaroni with American chop suey. (I do not like Mac N cheese - too cheesey for me). The shell shaped pasta is the most underrated pasta.

@samsampier7147 Ай бұрын

Love shell pasta. I wouldn't put pasta in my chop suey. However, American goulash is basically left-overs, so I would.

I despise angel hair. Not because it's bad, it can be great if cooked right but it's NEVER cooked right. It's always overcooked, mushy and slimy. Could I make it myself and do it right? Sure but why bother when I can make virtually every other pasta perfectly and so I never find myself craving angel hair because of how bad it is if not done right?
