PATRICK ROTHFUSS: Hello
everybody, and welcome to this
00:00:11
week's storyboard brought you by
Geek and Sundry and Powder
00:00:21
This week, we're going to be
talking with our lovely guests
00:00:25
about character.
00:00:27
What makes us love characters?
00:00:29
What makes for a
good character?
00:00:31
What makes for an empathetic
character?
00:00:36
We're just going to see
where it takes us.
00:00:38
And this week, we have
the lovely and
00:00:45
talented Amber Benson.
00:00:47
AMBER BENSON: Hi.
00:00:48
I'm Amber Benson.
00:00:49
Is this where I introduce
myself?
00:00:51
PATRICK ROTHFUSS:
Yes, go ahead.
00:00:53
AMBER BENSON: Oh.
00:00:55
My name is Amber Benson, as
Pat pointed went out.
00:00:58
That's a good thing.
00:00:59
I'm also the girl with
the most cake, at
00:01:01
least at this party.
00:01:04
I'm an actor and a writer, and
director, and I don't dance as
00:01:08
well as I do those other things,
so there's that.
00:01:12
I have a blog, amberbensonwrote
00:01:15
this.blogspot.com and I write
a series of urban fantasy
00:01:19
novels called the Calliope
Reaper-Jones novels, and a
00:01:24
middle-grade book called
Among the Ghosts.
00:01:28
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: And we are
also joined by the lovely and
00:01:36
BRAD BEAULIEU: The
one who cooks.
00:01:39
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: Give us your
last name, too, because I was
00:01:42
in fear of mispronouncing it.
00:01:44
BRAD BEAULIEU: All right, I'm
going to share with everybody
00:01:46
the trick so you can learn
it and never forget.
00:01:48
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: OK.
00:01:48
BRAD BEAULIEU: It's Beaulieu, so
you say "bowl your ass off"
00:01:52
without the "ass off."
00:01:53
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: Cool.
00:01:55
BRAD BEAULIEU: So
there you go.
00:01:56
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: That's
a great trick.
00:01:58
Paolo Bacigalupi, when I saw
him for the first time, he
00:02:02
actually during his keynote
speech, he sang his name and
00:02:05
made everyone do it, then I've
never been able to forget it
00:02:08
BRAD BEAULIEU: And
how did it go?
00:02:10
PATRICK ROTHFUSS: It was-- well,
I don't remember the
00:02:11
tune, but I remember how to
pronounce Bacigalupi, which
00:02:14
was a mystery to me before.
00:02:16
So yes, tell us how fabulous
you are, Brad.
