I really do hope they decide to keep the title "Intentionally Blank" permanently, but also never admit it. My favorite part of all of these episodes is hearing them debate the title at the beginning and/or end. As long as they never don't do that, "Intentionally Blank" is a great title...
I feel proud to be a fan of this guy. I've just watched his take on finishing the wheel of time and every time he opens his mouth, I admire him a little more!
Love, love Dan casually wrapped in his blanket. We have such a terrible summer weather here in France, we had it the whole two three months. Cold and rainy. At night, I do wrap myself in a blanket just like he does 🍃 (a maroders'map blanket from HP)
Well, assuming you believe the bit, and don't think it is just a bit, then it is infact unintenionally blank, as they have been meaning to put something there, but it is still blank, despite efforts to change that. Only the first episode was truly intentionally blank from this perspective, as it was left intentionally blank for them to find a title next episode. Once they failed to do as was intentioned, it became unintentionally blank. Of course, naming it so would be oxymoronic, because it would no longer be unintentional if they took the effort to name it so. However, intentionally blank can not be the title either, since it would be oxymoronic to have a title named "blank" at all. Only under the view that it is non-permanent can either name work. The "title" then is not actually a title, but just information about the fact that there is no title and that this is intentional. They could just leave it blank, but that might confuse viewers. You could extend "intentionally blank" to logically apply to episodes after 1 if you believe the intention was to leave it blank until the audience decided on a name, instead of leaving it blank until they picked a name in episode 2. This contradicts the send-off from that first episode though, so it could be a stretch to say that is the logical assumption.
I’m sure this has been resolved or leaned into by now, but I LOVE the title being “Intentionally Blank” and a running bit being coming up with new names every episode (that then go on to be the episode names or something- which seems to be the case I’m just reacting to the opening conversation in this episode around the 5-minute mark)
guys, intentionally blank is a FANTASTIC name for a podcast. Literally 10x better than anything you've said otherwise. It is just perfect for this style of podcast that doesn't have a central theme and instead is just guys talking about random stuff. PLEAS KEEP THE NAME!!
Having Ding Tai Fung rated that highly by Brandon and that bubble tea has made its way onto Brandon and Dan's food radar makes me happy as a Taiwanese!
I'm sorry to break this to you, but the podcast title is Intentionally Blank. You may, however, choose episode titles at your discretion. Jokes aside, it could be named anything, i would still watch it, i love every single episode and i am so grateful for it.
I served my mission in Lima, Peru. The food is the greatest. I never went to a fancy place,, just eating cheap or in people's homes. The donuts Dan couldn't remember are Picarones.
I'm a few minutes in and Brandon is so giggly in this one 😂 It's making my day much better, after being up all night with a sick pup! (My dog's name is Kaladin, btw!)
I must have commented this already in some other video, but this is the only podcast I enjoy totally. I don't get bored. I don't get distracted. Listening to Dan and Brandon is just so entertaining!
Fuzzy blanket FTW!!! Everyone needs a warm fuzzy blanket. It's pure joy. Edit: What??? People didn't like Emperor's New Groove? But....but...It's brilliant! And hilarious! Thank you so much for all these food recommendations! Also for the lack of outro. Refreshing.

If this is an attempt at describing how buying something expensive can increase the experience, then I think you might have missed the mark. Sanderson calls it sunk cost fallacy, which is exactly what it is, and I don't know what other term he was looking for that describes it in more colloquial fallacy, but what you are describing here is quite different. It is definitely a factor relevant to the discussion, but is not relevant to the pricing of the item like sunk cost fallacy is about.
In my experience, Manhattan, Paris, and Northern Italian cities all have the same issue where you are either eating street/cafe food of varying quality, or going to a high-end restaurant. That middle tier isn't really there. Whereas in the UK and German-speaking countries, there's usually a pub, curry place or beer hall where you can get decent mid-level grub.
I’m from the kind of small town Brandon mentions, one with a slight tourist angle in summers. Terrible restaurants that only last six months are a long running joke in the community. They are almost always vanity businesses started by bored members of rich families in town. We used to have a few decades old community staples (some run by the grandmas Dan mentioned), but time and chains have wiped them all out. Now it’s all $25 hockey puck pub burgers on oversized stale buns at some lawyer’s kid’s soon-to-close bar and grille.
My gramma hated spinach as a child... but her father loved and would always buy, but respect her and not put on her plate. One day at a friend's, she was given spinach and ashamed to say anything she forced herself to eat and absolutely loved. But she was so embarrassed to admit that to her father that she spend years wanting but not eating spinach at home.
I cannot for the life of me believe that Emperor's New Groove bombed. It has become a kind of iconic movie for our entire family, in a similar way to what's described here. There's six of us kids and it's just amazingly funny no matter what age you are, so became our go-to for not fighting over the TV. Now we quote it in the family chat and even have an artwork of us all done in the style of the movie.
A Pediatric occupational therapist that specializes in eating is super helpful for kids who have A marked difficulty in trying new foods, especially ones with new textures or big flavors. A surprisingly high number of kids miss some of the fundamental physical skills you learn to help you eat between 6 months and 2 years old and develop aversions because of it. The OT plays food games with the kids and helps them identify and develop skills that overcome the challenges. It's very common and not a thing to feel strange about needing.
First time listening to the podcast. See that there are well over 100+ episodes named Intentionally Blank. Hear Brandon say, "Of course we wont keep the name Intentionally Blank" lmaoo
I love this podcast so much. So interested in hearing how to authors break down stories compared to me where I'm just like "la la la I like this, or I don't like this.". The one thing that bugs me is that they're outro ( same as the intro music) sounds like it should be the dividers between different segments of the show and not the end of the show. This has way more of a cheaper vibe than most show ending music has. My favorite but not necessarily highest quality mesh would be in Pai Thailand night market. There's a little stall that did dumpling noodle soup for less than a dollar that was so good. My wife and I ate there every night we were there.
There is a lot of good food in the Provo to SLC area. My favorite is Bruges! Belgian waffles of all kinds but the savory ones made into sandwiches and the frites! Sooo good!
And he's very, very wrong about Paris having the best food (his big cities theory is very wrong, I also traveled a lot, and capitals make food for tourists- to avoid at all cost, actually) Like, eating a Cassoulet in Paris is ridiculous.
not necessarily. I don't know about other countries, but I'm french and I have both eaten and cooked actual "lentil soup" (soupe aux lentilles) and cassoulet. There isn't even lentils in cassoulet, it's white beans instead. But you might mistake cassoulet for "petit salé aux lentilles". they are two very common recipes that can be bought cooked and canned. Edit: I had written "too" instead of "two"...
@@ChristmasLore I do think the rule applies for the US at least. If you want really GREAT, or even just better than average, food 9/10 times it'll be in a city and not in a small town or suburb. Plus NYC really is top tier for food.
@@abadyr_ Ah, you're right! Serves me right for posting past my bedtime lol. Especially since I eat lentils constantly, just not usually prepared in French recipes.
My husband actually thinks the opposite when something is expensive. He’s explained it as “I will just always think the food isn’t good enough for the money I spent on it,” or “I could have made this better” (he’s a darn good cook). To note though, he grew up extremely poor, and I think that twisted his concept of the idea that food is better the more money it costs.
Darn! I was too early! We were in UT in June (but only went as far as Moab). Missed out on free dinner. Ha! Everywhere we ate was amazing - not that it was totally different than Ohio, but every cook is different and everything we had was awesome! And the ice cream at The Spoke On Center is amazing (highly recommended for anyone who goes - their normal food is really good, too!!!)
I was increeedibly picky as a kid, like I would only eat potatoes and garlic bread at a steak dinner. Then college forced me to eat a bunch of stuff because I was so hungry after classes and my one roommate was a foodie and I felt the need to not let her down/try to be more like her
My wife is sorely disappointed that Intentionally Blank isn't the actual name of the podcast 😔. It actually makes perfect sense the way she described it.... I hope you keep it honestly
Philosophy on small town restaurant eating: Are there lots of cars there? The number for "a lot" being relative to the town. If the locals don't want to eat there, I don't want to eat there either.
Me, thinking back to the food poisoning I got in Paris when I decided to be adventurous about trying new foods and had steak tartare: Oh yeah, Parisian food is some of the best food I've ever eaten. No sarcasm, it was, I'm just sticking to cooked beef from now on, even in Paris.
I think that it depends. You can get really fine local French restraunts, but you're probably right that expensive restraunts in highly urbanised areas have more pressure on them to be good.
I've eaten everywhere from a "$2 a bowl" noodle place to places that simply serve you food like described and in my experience, if you're paying more than $20 for your meal, it's probably mediocre. There are a lot of shit dives, but the best food is still in small places like that run by small business owners. So many super expensive restaurants just charge a lot to filter their clientele and it shows in how flavorless their food is.
I have also driven across the country a few times, and yes, the average beloved small town non-chain restaurant is pretty bad. This is coming from a born New Yorker raised in the south.
I was kinda weird about tastes when I was a kid but for a different reason. I didn't WANT to hate food, but food made me anxious anyway, often because there COULD have been stuff that made me nauseous or at least bleh for the next two hours, so it was just difficult to even make myself try it even if conceptually I wanted to be the kind of person who tried out lots of foods. (So, it's nice being an adult where at least I can try anything once)
"Intentionally Blank" is far and away the best title of the podcast. Please don't change it.
I think brandon on bubble tea is the closest we'll ever see him to be drunk or high
Was looking for this comment
Why would you want to see that though 😂
I'm guessing it's the type of boba that doesn't have any green or black tea actually in it.

Emperor's New Groove is indeed a perfect movie.
I actually like the title "Intentionally Blank."
Same! Intentionally Blank has a bit of a connection to writing and still a fun name. I really like it!
I love there podcast so much. It’s honestly becoming my favorite
This episode was phenomenal. Haven't laughed that much on any of the previous ones, thank you for that guys =)
Brandon's pronunciation of food names is where I aspire to be :D
Why do I get the feeling that the denial of 'Intentionally Blank" as the official name is some sort of long con?
They've been doing this for weeks. It's a schtick at this point
I hope so! :-)
