  1. "The best version of yourself: you can't alter your core behaviors but you can alter how you express them" I'm heavily paraphrasing but that's genuinely good advice from Schwifty.

  2. You got to get to a guy named Shift. He knows a guy named aziz, dont question me. That guy knows a guy named B{redacted}.
    Well it just so happens Redacted knows Oyster. Oyster shape shifts 6 times a year and makes Owl’s Eye Pepper Sauce.
    This is a short way to say you are 6 degrees away from enjoying a great pepper sauce. Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride.
    Have Fun, Be Well, Stay Hydrated.

  3. I love that George tells us the North Star in this world is a "Blue eye." The reason the North Star is so reliable is that is is extremely close to being in line with the celestial north pole, making it unmoving from our perspective. So that star could literally be right above the Heart of Winter.

  4. 1:16:20 "Themes are the topic of the story, anything deeper than the superficial; that's what a theme is." I thought those were different concepts like for example: In the first chapter of Harry Potter the topic is "Family" and the theme is "Harry Potter feels like an outcast" or something like that.

    I think Schwift should make a video about those concepts in literature. The world will be a better place afterwards :/

  5. NO FUCKING WAAAAYYYYYY!!!
    This is the 2nd time I revisit this series & you bless me with a carrot on a stick mid series! Maybe I should re-read ADWD so we can get that ASX food description of La Glidus de Papercuté.
