This video is a series of very random questions Jackson asked Andy Weir about what he thinks are life's greatest mysteries. It was originally recorded as a part of the main Between Two Perns interview with Andy Weir, but Jackson felt the main interview was long enough without it, so he created this video as a spinoff episode.

Bestselling author Mary Robinette Kowal sits down for an interview Between Two Perns with publishing's hardest hitting interviewer, Jackson Dickert.
Mary Robinette Kowal is easily the coolest person I've interviewed. She's so knowledgeable across a huge array of topics which makes her such an interesting person to talk to, but more than that, she's so kind, wise, and just... ENCHANTING to talk to. She speaks with so much passion that you can't help but lose track of the time when you're with her because you're always having such a good time. She's very good at giving you her full attention when she's talking to you, which might sound simple and commonplace, but it's like a bolt of lightning when you come across someone who is able to do it. Mary Robinette is simply impressive, there's no other way to put it.
Of everyone I've interviewed, I think I have the most to learn from Mary Robinette across all facets of life.

Andrew was a blessing on a stressful day! Because of how scheduling shook out, I had a slight overlap of interviews and Andrew was happy to wait a few minutes before his started so I could finish the previous interview. After Andrew's interview, when we had to film the montage at the end, he jumped headfirst into all the silly ideas I had for us to do. We only had maybe five ish minutes to shoot all those scenes he was in because he had other places to be, but instead of rushing out the door he gave me as much time as he could so I could get the shots I needed to make the montage happen. I think it turned out really fun and I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks, Andrew. You're the man.

There's no question, Charlie was a DELIGHT to interview. She left her booth at Dragonsteel to take the time to do this interview so everybody say THANK YOU CHARLIE!!! She is quick-witted, kind-hearted, generous, has an excellent sense of humor, and like everyone else who has been on the show was a great sport. If you're interested in Sanderson-approved romantasy, be sure to check out her books.
I would be remiss, though, if I didn't mention her very charming husband. Whenever Charlie had a signing or a panel to attend, I'd slink over to her booth and get the REAL scoop on Charlie. He helped me figure out so many angles for this interview like the contents of her dreams, their relationship history, and so much more top secret info that I couldn't have found online. The man is a national treasure, and I think we have the beginnings of a bromance brewing between us.
In the end, Charlie and I did come to an agreement on a dollar amount to not put a link to her fan fiction in the description of this video. Let's just say, the budget for Between Two Perns just went way way up and I'm now a big fan of blackmail.
Also, a big big thank you to the folks at Dragonsteel for providing a space for this interview at Dragonsteel 2023. You guys rock, every last one of you!

International bestselling author Christopher Paolini sits down for an interview Between Two Perns with publishing's hardest hitting interviewer, Jackson Dickert.
Big thank you to Christopher, his publicist Josh, and the rest of his team for making this video happen. The day we recorded this, Christopher and I both had a busy day running around at the Dragonsteel convention. We both carved out time to make the interview happen and... Of course, I had technical difficulties for the first 15 minutes of our half hour slot. The microphones just refused to connect to their transmitters, which has never happened to me. (So of course it happens during an interview with a legendary author while we're at a busy convention!)
We got halfway through this interview when I realized Christopher and I both had a few minutes to get to where we needed to be. If you watch closely, you'll notice that his coffee cup actually changes during the episode. No, the poor guy wasn't chugging multiple coffees in the same short interview. Christopher pushed his lunch back to come back and do the rest of the interview, which was an UNBELIEVABLY kind and selfless thing for him to do. He could have kept on his way, forgone extra stress, and told me to work with what I had, but he didn't. He was eager to come back and finish the episode because he was having so much fun with the interview.
Christopher, I'm glad you had fun. I did too. So long, and thanks for all the books.

I was really pleased with the way I ended Dyrk's interview and the way it shaped up as a whole. Problem is... There was still an entire segment of it left over that I did with him where we ate paper! I thought it might be fun to just post this as a different video entirely, and I think it came out good enough to post and surprisingly wholesome? Dyrk is a great sport and a ton of fun to hang out with. 10/10 would eat paper with him any day. 0/10 would not chew his gum.

I briefly met Dyrk at Dragoncon this year, but unfortunately we didn't cross paths more than once. We both ended up at the same writer's retreat this fall and decided to do an episode of Between Two Perns. Over the course of the roughly week or so I hung out with Dyrk we became friends. Dyrk kept me alive by force feeding me mac and cheese when I neglected to eat, he was generous with his time, and he never failed to give me his undivided attention when I had writing or business questions for him.
Dyrk is genuine, he is eager to help anyone in need, and he is a fountain of knowledge and life experience that everyone can learn something from. Above all, though, as you could probably tell from the video, Dyrk has a great sense of humor. No one is down to clown faster than the legend himself, Dyrk Ashton.

International bestselling author Peter V. Brett sits down for an interview Between Two Perns with publishing's hardest hitting interviewer, Jackson Dickert.
Peter was running around signing books and generally doing Important Guy Things at New York Comic Con this year. I'd come to the con hoping I could pull off something similar to what I pulled off at DragonCon by getting a solid 7 or 8 interviews out of the trip and content to last me for 2-3 months to come. Peter V. Brett was the only author who agreed to do an interview at the convention. I don't fault anyone who turned me down. They were busy doing Important Guy Things, and understandably so! When you attend one of the biggest conventions of the year and ask bestselling authors for time, it's pretty hit or miss because they have jam-packed schedules. So this isn't me complaining. This is me being grateful to Peter for carving out some time to do an interview with me. On the day he was showing his family around the con, he stepped away for twenty minutes to do me a big favor. And I'm very grateful to him for that. I got to meet his wife and daughters, and they are charming, passionate people who love what Peter does and are gracious about giving up *their* time with him for things like these silly interviews. His oldest actually hung out at the booth and I got to sick and talk to them for a little bit, and they were really cool. Glad he isn't Peter V Bretting up these kids and that they're already awesome people passionate about books and Scooby Doo. Thank you, Peter, for your time. And thank you, Peter's family, for sharing his time with me.
Also, a shout out to Penguin Random House for letting us do the interview in their booth. There was no space for me to do the interview at the con, there was no space at my hotel, so we had no choice but to do it inside the Penguin booth on the main floor. It's a miracle the audio turned out so well, and it's only because we were allowed to use PRH's booth. Thanks, ya flightless bird. Main Between Two Perns theme is: Hit the Lights by Twin Musicom

Bryce and I had talked once or twice prior to meeting in person at DragonCon. All interactions had been strictly business until we met in person and he was kind enough to invite me to breakfast with him and his team. Bryce introduced me to other authors at the con like Davis Ashura and even more authors later on. Later, we went to New York Comic Con and spent the bulk of the trip hanging out together, and later went on a work retreat and spent the week together.
Over the duration of these trips, I've seen Bryce be selfless and supportive to indie authors on more than one occasion. He regularly buys books from indie authors at conventions and tells them to keep it and do a giveaway with the book on their Instagram. He runs all aspects of Wraithmarked ethically and without regard for himself, striving only to do what's best for his employees and customers even to his own detriment. Despite having very limited time in his work day, he always made time for me when I asked for help or advice. He's witty, has too much confidence, and consumes far too many Oreos at a time.

Davis is one of the most gentle people I've ever met. I can't explain it better than he just exudes cozy and warm. Talking to him is like sipping hot chocolate in warm pajamas on Christmas morning. Tiny marshmallows included. It's more than just the cadence and pitch of his voice, it's in what's behind it. A soft kindness where you feel comfortable around him instantly.
The day before the interview, I had told him I was losing my medical insurance soon. I have a condition that lies within his specialty and made an offhand comment about being concerned about a physical aspect that I had had a random symptom for recently and was worried about it, but couldn't get an appointment before my insurance ran out. He asked if I'd like him to take a look, and I let him. He examined me on the spot and put my concerns at ease, completely unprompted, just because that's the sort of genuine and kind person he is.
I think he just agreed to do the interview initially because his friends pressured him. He expressed a little worry beforehand because he didn't think he was very quick or good at giving someone crap back and forth. I'm not sure if he was just trying to throw me off my game, because he knocked it out of the park and gave me such a wonderful interview. He's hilarious and needs to give himself more credit... And he needs to get an editor for his blog posts.

Wesley Chu sits down for an interview Between Two Perns with publishing's hardest hitting interviewer.
Wesley took time out of his busy schedule at DragonCon to come do an interview with me. He agreed to all my antics and wanted to make sure the video turned out well. After the interview, he stuck around for an extra few minutes until I was sure I had everything I needed and that I didn't need to reshoot anything, which was very thoughtful. I ran into Wesley Chu again at New York Comic Con and he made a point to introduce me to some of his author friends to try to help me get interviews, which was unbelievably generous of him. I've said it in the description of other videos, but I want to reiterate that these are not scripted videos. The authors don't know what I'm going to ask, so all of their reactions are completely genuine. We only do one take of the interviews. Wesley nailed this interview, and I can't thank him enough for entertaining and participating the way he did.
Shout out to my friend Zach for helping me with some of the jokes in this one.

I didn't know a ton of people when I first got to DragonCon this year, and Clay was the first person to sit and have a conversation with me. He was interested in doing an interview early on and helped me approach other authors with the idea. He's one of those guys I think just about anybody could get along with. While everyone else wants to hang out at the bar and talk, Clay wants to go to a dance party simply because he likes to dance. I firmly believe that everyone needs a Clay in their life to get them out of their comfort zone and remind them of the simple, fun things in life. Hanging out with friends, making new ones, and dancing shamelessly. He's easy-going, friendly, supportive, and generous. He'd be a real stand-up guy, if only he'd read The Lord of the Rings.
Shout out to my dad for all the chemistry help.

Nick was one of the first few new faces I met at Dragoncon, a convention I'd never been to before and didn't know many people at. Nick is easygoing and friendly to everyone. He was patient while I set up the cameras and was eager to take part in the interview, even if that meant getting roasted a little bit. In fact, I think he encouraged it.
Whether you're a reader whose never heard of him or a writer seeking advice, he was kind and welcoming. He treated everyone like he'd known them since they were kids. (Which isn't very long for Nick, I know, but still.) He gave his attention, advice, and smile freely and he doesn't hold back. If you're going to a convention where you hardly know anyone, Nick is the guy you want to talk to. And if all Canadians are like this, then I may have to start considering moving north. Like... Canada north. A whole country of Nick Martells sounds awesome.

Almost two years ago, I challenged Jackson Ford to a fight using rubber chickens. I scrapped together a not-great but still mildly entertaining video about it on my old YouTube channel. youtube.com/watch?v=vTQZH1Mxby4
Jackson told me if I flew out to him, we could have a duel with squeaky rubber chickens. At the time, I didn't have the disposable income for a $500 plane ticket to be worth the bit, so I let it go and decided I'd fight him another day.
Little did I know, the next time I saw him I'd get to fight. Not with him, but beside him against hordes of the undead.
Jackson and I hung out a bunch at DragonCon this year. From trying the disgusting Beverly at the World of Coke to going on a quest to buy him a new backpack, we had an awesome time. He's a great dude and an equally great author (assuming you can look past all the British slang in his books). Keep your eye on him, even if the Frost Files aren't your thing. He's got some really cool sounding books coming down the line...

@travisbaldree and I filmed this interview at Dragoncon 2023 in Atlanta. I went to Dragoncon with the unpublished Sanderson interview in hand and no other authors scheduled to interview. I reached out to Travis and he was kind enough to agree.
Then I had to go about finding an actual place to record the interview. Dragoncon had all their rooms booked up, of course, but the folks at my hotel were kind enough to rent the room out to me for a few hours at a time. I already had a full wagon (no, literally, I had a collapsible wagon) of camera equipment, tripods, cameras, all that good stuff. There was no way I could bring a lighting kit, so I'm very grateful that my friend Levi Johnson helped me color grade the footage afterward. If you saw the end of the Sanderson interview, you saw this footage was *very* yellow before in part due to the lighting situation.
Travis was on a very tight schedule that day, but he made time to come do this silly interview. I think I may have even made him a little late for his obligations after the interview, but he *still* asked if there was anything I needed help putting away before he left. I was frazzled, trying to set up all this camera equipment by myself for the first time in this room I had gotten last minute. But Travis was very patient with me and didn't rush me, even though he had places to be. He even helped me fix a tripod that was being uncooperative.
Travis is the definition of chaotic good. He's friendly, kind, and most importantly, will always commit to the bit. Conventions are where authors are put to the test. There's lots of people, you stay up too late, and they're all-around exhausting. I saw Travis multiple times throughout the week at Dragoncon and his smile never wavered.
Thank you for your time, Travis. And thank you for being patient with me.
And thank you to Aven Shore-Kind, the friend Travis brought along with him. She watched the show live and did a very good job of stifling her laughter throughout the recording. She was also kind, helpful, and her book is cozy fantasy as well. You can check it out here: amzn.to/46NGkFB

I used to really look up to Brandon. I did not think it would have to come to this. He forced my hand.
There's more takedown in the description below when you're done watching.
Check out the "Yumi and the Nightmare Painter" book club over on @BrandSanderson 's YouTube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=CFKO3m08vGA
Brandon Sanderson graciously invited me to be a part of his "Yumi and the Nightmare Painter" book club. While we were there, I learned I would have the opportunity to make a video with Brandon. I love Brandon's work and have followed him closely for years. Listening to his podcast, watching his college lectures, and generally hero-worshipping him like so many others. I was going to ask him writing and worldbuilding questions, but when I really got down to it, I couldn't think of a single question to ask that I had not heard him answer countless times across his other content.
So my brain did what it does best, and my next idea was: How can I turn this into a bit?
I only had a few hours to prepare for the interview. I'm generally very comfortable in front of cameras and large audiences (I was a theater kid, I know, big shocker if you know anything about my personality). Needless to say, when I sat down on that couch to interview Brandon, I was terrified. I don't get nervous or embarrassed much these days from years of purposefully embarrassing myself for laughs. But I was beyond anxious about this interview. I couldn't help but fret about Brandon taking one of the jokes the wrong way, about offending this person I look up to so much.
"Between Two Ferns" is scripted. This video was not. I had questions to ask, but Brandon had no idea what they were going to be. He knew the show was in the vein of Between Two Ferns, so I told him to just play along, be himself, do whatever felt right in the moment so we'd get Brandon as himself having fun and playing along, rather than trying to do a specific character.
I was nervous when we sat down on the couch. But Brandon smiled and shook my hand and we talked for a few minutes and by the end, I felt much more at ease. I can't thank him enough for agreeing to do my silly video idea with me, for his encouragement, and for his compliments afterwards. It all meant the world to me. The one thing you have to know about Brandon is that he's a dad at heart. It comes through in all things he does. It comes through in the things he gets excited about, in the way he interacts with people, and the way he'll commit to the bit harder than anyone else. If you have to know one thing about Brandon, it's that he's genuine.
Thanks again for the interview, Brandad. I mean. Brandon. And thanks for your S-tier pun idea and suggesting that we steal two copies of "Dragonriders of Pern" from your library to use in the background. I can take zero credit for the name of the show. That was all Brandon. He should be a writer, or something.
Shoutout to my photoshop kings. Jacob Dickert, Adam Bassett, and Cole Field.
