I'm sure at least 1000 other people are going to say this one, but that's only because it's the obvious pun: "The Underwiner".

[@waybove]

For whoever edits these videos - I know its a podcast but could you please put up the references they make, like the blade scene, the cabin pic that Brandon was showing etc, video viewers would appreciate it, and it wouldn't really take anything away from the audio listeners

[@samanthaa.6055]

It may hurt monetization if they have it and result in copyright strikes

[@bross92]

Links would be awesome though! Like in the show notes

[@ronni3darko]

The blade scene is an easy quick search though.

[@waybove]

@@samanthaa.6055 small clips don't cause demonetizations and there's so much more that can be added that's not even copyright protected to improve the viewing experience

[@jworcest2]

Completely agree, it's not very interesting to hear people talking about images you can't see, especially when they're saying things like "Oh look there it is" and you just wonder what they're looking at.

[@dandinkler6315]

Fortnite convinced me to read Mistborn. I read and loved Stormlight on my siblings recommendation. (My first Sanderson books) and seeing the model of Kelsier that was in Fortnite and knowing how good Sanderson books were, I grew curious and excited to see what cool story surrounded that character. Now I have a mistborn tattoo. 😂

[@kaladongstormguy]

Mistborn convinced me to play Fortnite lol. I actually started playing after the Kelsier skin was already gone, but when I started, I just assumed it would come back around in rotation.

[@azotter610]

Do you know if that skin will ever come back cuz I recently started playing Fortnite again...

[@kaladongstormguy]

​@azotter610 I haven't heard anything about it. If Kelsier comes back, I'd imagine Vin or someone else will come with him. But maybe that's just wishful thinking. Worse comes to worst, we'll just have to wait for some sort of Cosmere adaptation to get more fortnite skins.

[@CoconutMigrating]

@@azotter610it’s unlikely. I doubt it was a super well selling skin and David isn’t at Epic anymore.

[@julide27]

Dan: What's great about it is the vampires are depressed. Me: How did I not see this coming? 😂

[@jackmacguire3565]

Brad Bird (the director of The Incredibles) was initially just a stand in voice for Edna Mode before he became the official voice

[@dmi5664]

This is what I thought they were talking about too

[@user-li8pc7vw6y]

"I make up nonsense for a living" sounds like a good t-shirt for Dan

[@Aprilpixie]

Dan, Guillermo Del Toro was the director on Blade 2. Blade 4 Guillermo Del Toro was not a part of and yes, Wesley Snipes had some kind of beef with that director and by extension the entire production of blade three. It’s pretty crazy stuff that went on. Fun to look up and read.

Good one

[@abhimac27]

Anne Rice discussion immediately??? Let's GOOOO!

[@KyleOfTheNorth]

They're already doing an Anne Rice universe. The last two that have come out have both been good.

[@abhimac27]

@KyleOfTheNorth the AMC shows? I really liked their take on the vampires, but the witches one wasn't my favorite. Too bad, because I love the Mayfair Witches.

[@KyleOfTheNorth]

@@abhimac27 I agree, the Mayfair Witches was kinda meh. I recommend watching Penny Dreadful if you haven't seen it. It kinda takes several Gothic horror characters and puts them into one narrative.

[@abhimac27]

@@KyleOfTheNorth Loved that show, didn't see the reboot

[@KyleOfTheNorth]

@@abhimac27 I started it but didn't finish it. It didn't scratch the same itch as the original and I wish they would've just continued with the first series as there obviously were some plot lines left open.

I'm adding a food heist to the novel I'm writing in honor of this podcast.

I was there for the keynote at LTUE. It was fantastic!

[@GabrielSyler33]

Thank you for this comment Dan at the 2:30 mark. I’ve genuinely described the story of Interview with a Vampire to people as “Guy tells someone why immortality is awful through a 200 year long story about him and his vampire boyfriend.” So hearing your take on the theme feels validating.

[@leviwright6431]

Please get them to add another cosmere Fortnite skin! I missed Kelsier 😢

[@dmi5664]

I vote for Stick

[@MisterSketch4]

Tress?

[@cursethemountain]

I'd like to see ol' IronEyes but I think he might be too gruesome/gory for the game

[@darcicoleauthor]

For what it’s worth, Dan, I was at LTUE and I really loved your keynote speech, it was hilarious and awesome! I get the too-much-peopleing crash too, you have my sympathy for how much energy that took, especially on short notice 💙

[@Ruthie888]

“Slow-Mo Wine-O”. PS we didn’t have the images with KZbin either.

I was hoping this would be an announcement of him coming back

[@be_an_rm]

Nice to see you back Dan! Loved seeing Emily in the last one, but I needed the food heist today.

[@ethanhoeft2455]

Donald’s new name is Colonel Mustard. I will accept nothing less.

[@MattViklund]

Guys... I want to see what you are looking at during the episodes! Show us what gets put up on this mysterious screen!

How come non of the photos were posted on the video? Always like seeing what they’re talking about.

[@davidsabotta6528]

Neurofeedback is so cool! I am a therapist and I am getting certified in this modality. I would describe it as "brain training" that uses real time brainwaves. The program that you watch then shows you when your brain is behaving well and that rewards the behavior.

[@Jonamission]

where are the images???? I want to see.

[@janalewis3030]

I agree, Dan! Loved The Vampire Chronicles.

[@bendingsands87]

Just watched the what we do in the shadows Council scene. It's hilarious how everyone was crapping on blade. 😂

[@Stormhawk777]

20:00 Dan talking about the poor Spotify listeners who can't see the images WHAT ABOUT US DAN

Not linked on Spotify either as far as I can tell.

Definition of this podcast “I make up nonsense for a living!”

[@samreddig8819]

The vineyard villain? I know it was off a truck but that was the best i had on hand.

[@eurechel]

I think "The Wine Guzzler" has a good ring to it. Very villianous...

[@warrdogg3376]

I did that neuro-feedback thing and it helped me so much and helped me get off of my ADHD meds.

[@sashacampbell3513]

An Ayn Rand cinematic universe would be fascinating. A crossover Ayn Rand x Anne Rice universe would be even better.

"We'll put these images in the liner notes" ... 😢

[@voidfoxx5921]

Bram Stroker's Dracula had the best line ever! "I have crossed oceans of time to find you!"

[@pisoprano]

Dan’s LTUE keynote speech was excellent-“calculated nonsense” is the perfect way of describing the gopher guts reading and Dan completely justified its inclusion by the end.

[@TSTait]

Chris Sanders (director of Croods) ended up doing the voice of Stitch.

[@KyleOfTheNorth]

Kirsten Dunst is SO GOOD in it too.

[@aliciasorenson3807]

I can't believe you didn't add that Edna in the Incredibles was voice by the male director!😂

The tannin thrillster/thief/taster. The pinot purloiner. (It's bulk wine, so it's probably cheap--pinot is a common red wine.)

[@fungol]

As "doing a Kegger" is a term for drinking from a keg of beer (from a pressurized stream), I think someone drinking wine from the truck is "doing a Tanker"

Pretty sure Del Toro made 2, not 3.

[@arghya_333]

Did Brandon say he went on a writing retreat(halfway point)? Given how much he writes normally, how many secret projects did he write there?

[@tap836]

So where are these liner notes that have links to all the images discussed but not shown? 20:00

[@watcherofwatchers]

I know I am in the minority of commenters here, but I was excited when we got straight to talking about interesting stuff instead of a food heist. ...then disappointment arrived. I just can't get into the food heists!

[@heckdeck]

Blade 2 was directed by Del Toro, Blade 3 was directed by David Goyer, he and Wesley Snipes famously hated working together. Patton Oswald was in Blade 3 and has some interesting stories about being on set.

Fueled by a high-octane blend of tanker-transported Merlot, Vin o' Dynamo swoops in to assist his comrade, the Nacholist. With a wine-fueled flourish and an audacious superhero landing, he bellows, "Avast! Even the strongest cheese demands a splash of wine!"

[@ethanbuell4764]

Dan, (or Brandon) have you watched the first Castlevania animated series or especially Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust? They're both great, though the storytelling of the Castlevania show is a bit spotty at times (but the animation in action scenes is always spectacular). The Bloodlust anime film is a super evocative post-apocalyptic vampire western. I would love to know your thoughts on both of these!

[@again617]

Dan. I hope you don't mind me asking but how do you go about getting the space you need to recuperate from everyone including a lovely family?

[@Stormhawk777]

Blade is goated So happy to hear these nerds talk about them

[@moyooo]

A bad Vampire thing i like is The Vampire Diaries. Mainly because the strength of the vampire is dependant on how long they have been a vampire. So older vampires show up and its like daammmmnnn our MC's are weak. Then we met the original vampires and they were so strong it was awesome.
