The boy Willie, he went to the trumpets and he learned the trumpets hit back. So he needs like a fortnight worth of rest. Because we saw in front of everyone in nebraska he needs a little bit of rest and i'll tell you i need a little bit of rest because who got it team damon coming out boys let me tell you something i don't know if it's recency bias just because we're all like thrown up right now that was one of the coolest battles i think i've ever watched in any of the series right there that was fucking unbelievable what they did with Damon just flipping a switch like that making him a

fucking likable badass and the only thing is not getting to see the fucking crab feeder get sliced and diced but everything else about that was unreal man that was and shout out to the House of the Dragon showrunners for making it visible.

Thank you for making it a battle that we can actually watch. Oh, man. Everything in the crab feeder, basically, you know, all of his inside, it was filling out like worms at the end there. If my internet's bad, by the way, I'm on the road. Apologies for that. I assume it is. Yeah, it's a little bit slow.

But it kind of fits your crab feeder vibe because you look like you know half a human yeah a little riddler vibes in you bob what even is the mask i think bob might be the actual crab feeder i know it's a hard into a a like a lower level of human i'll try to figure it out you guys talk i'm gonna figure out this wi-fi all right we're good all right um dude uh let's let's break it right down because we were talking about how damon is uh you know he was so hateable in the beginning but a lot of people predicted that he was gonna have like a redemption arc or that you're gonna be rooting for him and not like one episode later he i mean not not in like the like the most honorable of ways he's literally killing the messenger uh bashing dudes for no fucking reason

but if you're just talking about straight badassery and what we come to game of thrones for just fucking swords and blood and don't give a fuck like take over the world and you know flex uh flex your power this this was it i mean unreal and i think everyone here obviously we grew up with the finest forms of entertainment growing up which is professional wrestling right and our boy damon through that was stone cold steve austin anti-hero little rick flair too i you know wave the white flag here's my sword and then he throws some fucking salt in your face mr fuji bobby heenan they're looking down smiling going that's the kind of fucking shit we fucking brought

i loved it did you what were you expecting there i thought he was so i thought he was surrendering at first because again i am i'm a fucking moron i am yeah yeah yeah so i would have been like oh we got him boys we fucking we had enough crabs to eat their men that they finally gave up. And the dude just, he completely flipped the switch. So you thought, you thought he was, I mean,

I didn't think, well, here's the thing. I think as awesome as that was, I thought it was a little preposterous that he dodged about 55,000 arrows. So I didn't think that he was necessarily like, it was just going to be surrender, but it was also like,

there's no way he can do this by himself. Right. So what's he got up his sleeve. And then he just goes, you know, full blown Jon Snow battle of the bastards, except he actually goes, you know,

to battle with them all. And I did know when, once they surrounded him and he was in that little hut of wood, I knew, I knew Dracarys was coming. I knew we were about to get a dragon flame. So that didn't surprise me. But the first,

yep. The first, the first, Merch, merch, bye-bye, barstoolsports.com, store,

barstoolsports. The first, you know, run in there where he just fucked everybody up from the, from the caves. I didn't think that he was that much of a badass. I knew he was nice with it. I knew he was a real soldier. I knew he was the only one

fighting, like they said, but I just didn't think that he had that in him. I guess that's the thing. We knew by the end of Game of Thrones, you knew who were the most unfuckwithable. You knew who was the nicest with the swords and the strongest and the best. And this one, now, you know,

we can clearly check that box that Damon is not to be fucked with. When he's motivated in the right way, he got that letter from his brother saying, no, no, no, fuck that. I'm on the clock right now. I got to win this on my own right fucking now. Here we go.

Yeah, and listen, we all have brothers here. And it's like when big brother and i was the biggest but you guys all have bigger brothers when big brother says he's gonna clean shit up it's like no i got it i gotta do this you take the nintendo i can beat the fucking level literally uh um my kids are playing nintendo on the switch this weekend and one of them can't beat bowser and the other one's like i'll i, I can do it. Like, let me do it. Two seconds later, Keegan pulls. Jay. So yeah, it's, it's, it's motivation, man. Is the internet better now? Is my internet a little better?

You're better, Bob. We love, yep. We got you now that I was saying that was straight out of like a Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, like heel, like anti-hero kind of guy. Oh no, I surrender. And then fucking some salts in your eye. And then I'm just going to, you know,

go to work on you there. And there's even a little bit of stone cold, Steve Austin passing out in the sharpshooter at WrestleMania 13. Cause you're like this guy, I have no choice, but to respect him at this point, he's putting his testes all over the battlefield. Right.

And you know what they did? You know, because if you, if you haven't read the books and you don't know much there really hasn't been anything to to root for with damon yet he's really not like that you know uh great of a of a face right but they did almost kind of what they did in breaking bad when you needed someone else to be the bad guy for heisenberg they just brought in fucking nazis like literal nazis because they were like we need the worst of the worst that's kind of what they did with the crab feeder here even if you're like i'm not really sure what damon is yet do i like him do i not like him we bring in this fucking creature

that is like i don't even know hey i'm half half crab. And he's got that weird neck thing. And he's so sleazy. He doesn't do any of his own fighting. He just sends in his men to die. Just like every worst trait you can have in a character, they set up there so that we can just flip the script and all root for Damon doing his one-man show. That was a very great way to just, in a very quick matter of one episode, we're all pulling for the guy now. You think he had grayscale or was that scurvy? What was that all over his body?

He's literally half crab. I don't know. Fucking gross, man. Oh, let's talk about the very beginning because this, this episode, I don't know whether it finished stronger than it came in, than it started. I don't know. The way that we started off, man, homeboy getting fucking crucified while the crabs are starting to eat him alive. The nail going right through the hand.

Right through. Oh, my gosh. And then he's calling for, oh, Prince Damon, please save us. Oh, the stomp was amazing. The stomp was a blessing in disguise Like he wanted to survive Dude no you got a hand you got a nail through your hand There's no stitches that's gonna help you

Back in medieval times or wherever you are in the realm That stomp was a blessing We got our answer too Of one dragon versus a million crabs I'm taking the dragon every single time Actually I have one for you boys After seeing that opening. Would you rather death by a thousand crabs or one dragon?

But the dragon's still learning how to blow fire, so you're not just getting cooked in three seconds. Do you want to get cooked by that dragon, or do you want those little crabs going beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep? Dragon, dragon, gotta be. Gotta be dragon, right? Because if the crabs are all over you i feel like you're dying from like hunger or something like are they gonna really like kill you no i think that's just a torture i think they're just gonna bite your nose and your eyeballs until you just like slowly die and they eat your i mean we saw it when when damon goes back to the beach you saw the the the like remains the skeleton of

that dude and he's still just being feasted on. There's a crab in its mouth coming out of its mouth. Yeah, you just become a fucking crab home at that point. But that dragon stomp when he's like, yeah, we're going to do this, burn the triarchy, and then squat. You ain't shit either. It was like we are fucking rolling here, baby. And then the whole

middle actually, I thought it was a great episode front to back because we had the action in the beginning and the end. We had a lot of character building in the middle with Rayana. I'm a terrible Raynira. Raynira and her bitch ass dad and all sorts of shit going on there so

uh i i think this is the best episode so far of the three really i i still go back and forth with the first episode because i feel like the way they were flashing back and forth between the jousting the childbirth all of that it was a perfect setup but i thought this was like really really good it reminded me so much and i feel like we say this every really good it reminded me so much and i feel like we say this every week but it reminded me so much of early thrones in the way that they built everything especially with the king arguing with reynira i want you to get married she doesn't want to she goes off with kristen cole i could just imagine this in season one of game of thrones even i mean the hunt is also a big comparison we could make with robert barabian going out we see

a boar in this one we also had a two-year time jump in this one we're just jumping around all over immediately they're like hey the king's got a son and he's two years old which to be honest i think is like fine because you got him you know we're gonna move this plot along for however this book works but i will be honest like there had to be some major shit that went on in those two years that, you know, we're just kind of expected to piece together. I don't know. It's a lot early on to just fly through it like that. Can we give a brief round of applause for a boy, Viserys, lasting two years? I didn't think he had two years.

Yeah, that's right. He's been here two years. What happened to that infection? Is he fine from that? I would have bet my bottom dollar. That's what I mean. I would have bet my bottom dollar those infections were going to come into play and he was going to slowly die out or whatever.

They were so heavy-handed with those things. And then he's just okay. He's missing fingers. Look at this guy. Look at Mickey fucking costumes. Whoa. Oh, this guy Look at Nicky fucking in costumes Whoa This guy By the way for those that don't know

Nick Hamilton our producer Did the entire last week show in costume Never even flashed himself on camera He was just doing it for the love of the game I had this last week This just got in It's the full gaming get up I've been on game train day one

I'm taking a knee to my guy my lord nick hamilton there for being the absolute fucking king of this realm on the internet the fact that you watched the whole episode in costume and never revealed it is one of the funnier things i've ever heard of um yeah but uh the the king did lose two fingers they were like kind of they didn't like zoom in on it, but like when he was drinking his wine, you could see they were like nasty, locked off. So the maggots did not work.

Yeah. Breaking news, maggots don't yield. Yeah, we get a two-year time jump. Like I said, the king has a son named Aegon, Aegon II, and someone immediately tries to give the king a message about the stepstones he won't really listen he's like ah they've been at war for three years what's another three days very funny way to respond to like uh your brother and all of your troops need aid immediately he's like give it 72 hours see if they see if they're all right

um rainier is out by the tree yeah go ahead can i see some if i'm the king i'm like yeah you guys have dragons how the fuck have you won this war in three days that is i mean they do a good job of explaining it it's almost like uh fighting in afghanistan where like they just hide in the fucking hills in the caves and no matter what kind of weaponry you have you you can't win but i will say you know thrones with the like so such a limited number of dragons hyping them up so much where it's like they made it seem like if you have dragons nobody can fuck with you you win every battle ever and then this one's kind of like yeah no you don't you know it's i i guess you know it's the one sort of army that you can't beat because they are just buried into the mountains.

They're not going to beat you, but you just won't ever beat them either, War of Attrition style. But I don't know. It's like just fucking sit there and wait for them to come out and flame all of them. I don't get why dragons all of a sudden can kind of be outmaneuvered. The crab feeder is the ho-chi man of Westeros, basically, is what you're telling me. That's why you tuned to this for fucking the costumes and you stayed for the historical references that you didn't even know my dumb ass knew yeah i i don't i didn't get that one that one flew right over the head

fair enough by the way people in the chat are pointing out it is a three-year time jump so i guess the king's son is too but it took some time to get there and he has another one on the way motherfuckers just banging the shit out of his uh out of his hand's daughter just yeah i mean we kind of um we just got rid of the 12 year olds although you know we did do this episode we switched out um uh child uh pedophilia for gruesome animal murder like fucking front and center for like a solid minute, just watching a buck just like squeal and cry while we sit there and stab it.

It's like something's going to be gratuitous every single episode, I think.

seeing it squeal seeing it struggle seeing a miss the first time so it was just so much pain that was unbelievably sad that whole uh that whole uh what he called ceremony if you will where it's like this this is your hunt you have four guys hold him in place while an old guy's in a pug yeah where'd the pug come from with a smushed face yeah that was it that's a good point did they they had pugs back in fucking game of thrones days what was that about are we gonna see a wiener dog next week yeah they're gonna be a labradoodle we're gonna get a little boy a petite golden doodle in episode four they know pugs back in that time little duncan clancy go the narrow sea i have a designer dog he's hypoallergenic in the realm so we don't

have to worry about his his pet hair getting all over the sept what the fuck are we doing here by the way i i do have to shout out if you're watching on youtube you constructed an iron throne for your office i went i went i bought about 150 dollars worth of uh fake swords i got my tape out and I fucking taped it to my dining room chair. I have myself a legitimate throne. It looks awesome. I just could think of the kids coming in the room and be like, what's that? That's my dad's job. That's just what he

does. He puts on a wig and he sits on a fake sword of the throne. I was smart enough. I don't have them right here, but I was smart enough to get a couple swords that they can still play with because I was just snapping off handles and breaking things so that I could tape them. But I was like enough. I don't have them right here, but I was smart enough to get a couple swords that they can still play with because I was just snapping off handles and breaking things so that I could tape them. But I was like, all right, you know, got to have a samurai sword for you here and a little knife for you over

there. Let's get the violence going in the household. Jesus Christ. Now, one thing that we missed out on in the three-year time jump that I'm like sort of interested in how it first broke and everything is allison marries the king how does that affect her relationship with reynera who they seem to be like best friends we kind of see it early when reynera is out by the tree that they used to hang by and she's like hey you know we want you out there for the king's hunt the royal

hunt and she doesn't want to she's like your queen demands you and it's like oh really you're gonna fucking pull that card on us right now immediately? Like we were best friends. Not friends anymore. Obviously, Rhaenyra is like, you married my dad. I hate you now. Yeah. I mean, when she's like, Rhaenyra, it doesn't need to be like this.

It's like, uh, you're fucking my dad. Yeah, it does need to be like this. Like there's no coming back from that one. You're fucking my dad. Popping out babies every, yeah. You're popping out babies that are going to try to take my fucking throne. You're literally ruining my life in every which way possible. We're not friends anymore.

Fuck the Hightowers. Anyone who likes the Hightowers, I mean, I've never been a fan of the Hightowers. Anybody who ever pledged allegiance to the Hightowers. They have a conversation about the war at the Stepstones during the hunt. And it's Damon versus the Triarchy. That's the other army, the other battle that he's going against. Yes. Nobody could tame the Stepstones.

They say it's always been kind of for a crazy, wild, savage people. And there's one woman here named Lady Redwine. How ridiculous is that name? I thought she was taking a shot at her at first when she said lady red wine how have you been helping by uh you know eating cake i thought it was like bitch all you do is drink wine and eat cake but it's actually your name i guess it was in the closed caption and everything lady red wine yeah yeah why spell with the y i like how they're throwing y's in there y is a sweet like it's

like z in the 90s everything got a z back in the day to make it cooler black raspberry it's like speaking of things that seemed out of place in the game of thrones universe our super producer nick hamilton actually tweeted about this lord jason lannister jason. We got Jason in Game of Thrones. It's like having Barry. It's like having, you know, like, hi, I'm Greg. There's just certain names that just don't work back in the day. Also, I did get a couple references that he looks a lot like Young Gravy. I also got a couple tweets that he looks a lot like Dave Portnoy. I saw that as well.

So Jason Lannister. We can, you know, stool Presidente can officially be a Lannisterave portnoy so that is lannister we can uh you know stool president a can officially be a lannister we know he'd be a lannister as you know just because of who he is but now he's got the perfect part to play that that was so fucked one gets thailand lannister which i mean fits in with all the other lannister names you know right and then you get jason it's like otto yeah exactly dude's a smooth talker, though. You gotta give him that much. And I was, I don't know about you, I was getting a little bit of Winklevoss energy out of him. No, Jason?

He, well, he thinks he's like a smooth talker. He thinks he's the guy. Yeah, yeah. He thinks he invented the Facebook. He gets shut down like that. He goes up and like hits a pickup line. He's like, get out of here. That's the thing, though, about being smooth and like pickup lines and having game. If the girl though about being smooth and like pick up lines and having game

if if the girl likes it and you're like cool and hot then it's like you've got game and if it doesn't you look like a total fucking asshole so it's like you know sweet talking smooth talking is all just about whether whether or not your your target is kind of like into it. Because he's making these jokes, I need a dragon pit, what for? Oh, for you, my girl. If she was like, ooh, okay, then all of a sudden it's a good line. She walks away, he looks like an asshole. Tell you what, he ain't no Kristen Cole, Kevin. He ain't no Kristen Cole.

No, that guy. Real quick, House Redwine, someone we know was House Redwine. Elena Tyrell was originally a House Redwine. Oh. So that's like where they came from. So they're still a major part of it. So she was a Redwine who then married a Tyrell? Yeah, she married into the Tyrell family.

Bro, the universe is so, there's so many names and so many people and shit. It's crazy. Their crest is just grapes, too. I fucking like the grapes. Yeah, I like that. I fucking like the red ones. And another thing about Jason and Thailand, because they're the same actor, that actor was the first person killed

by the mountain in Game of Thrones. They recast and they gave him a new role, but he was the first guy killed in the jousting incident. Ken Jack tweeted that. You're double dipping on the thrones check shot you know that's always a good feeling happens in marvel a couple times where the guy gets a little role in marvel and then they bring him back and he gets a bigger role so shout out to him jesus and rainera is pissed at her father for trying to set her up with a jason she's like you can't

marry me off to a jason in this universe get the fuck out of here she takes off kristen cole follows and he even like he runs up to her grabs her horse he's like stop going stop finally they take their time going back because she's kind of like all right i dragged you out here kristen cole how about we go on a nice stroll back and this is a little date for us and we realized the king i didn't know what they were talking about when they kept saying before dragons ruled westeros you know the white heart was the true sign of strength i was like what are we talking about white heart it's a white deer they're looking for a white deer in the hunt yeah yeah i i thought it was a boar at first they were talking about the boar i thought it was uh whether i don't know i i didn't get it until they until obviously they saw that big fucking

a big fucking buck but i would i was gonna be so mad if we had two kings die From a boar hunt I was like don't you kill this king Just like you did our sweet Robert Baratheon With another fucking boar Which now as we realize Which isn't a shock They just hold that motherfucker And the king just gets to go to work on it

But he was boozing too like Robert was And I'm like I've seen this story before I don't like the way we're going Viserys I was worried about him because uh reynira takes kristen cole away from him and i'm like oh is this gonna be like he gets drunk without his security next to him and something bad happens to him and then it falls on her but obviously we know that didn't when when he when he like got off his throne and walked like to like he was all fucked up and drinking it felt very ominous i thought like

something very bad was going to happen in that moment because it was very like they were just zooming in on him and he was stumbling around but uh they they cut out to the forest that scene where reyniera just fucking murks that boar just fucking when her hair is all blood soaked coming back do not fuck with that chick That looks badass Me and Robbie were thinking in the basement Is that metal And I was like that chick with that platinum hair

All covered in blood Confirmed metal I have a question about that Because I was thinking the same about the king I'm like oh here we go Viserys Which by the way I couldn't think of what it was When we were talking about it Dude lost a couple digits Probably has like a limp probably has like some parts missing from

his leg the dude's just not good health he's basically the royal Westeros rickety cricket I think we're just gonna keep losing body parts on this king throughout the next few like episodes right in front of our face but if you're a Targaryen and let alone the Targaryen the king like you have to have your dragon on call at all times like yo you can't just have that bitch back in king's landing yeah you got to be like within remote just when you click the remote and it goes and it swoops in fire on your enemies right yeah no that that that's got to be like your dog that you tie up when you walk into the store yeah he's he's right there at all times yeah jason tries to smooth talk his second member of the targaryen family and agon and it goes poorly for him too

immediately he's like i assume uh a or viserius king viserius he talks to it's like i assume uh agon be the next heir right and he's like don't assume makes an ass out of you and me sends them away. And Otto pulls up next to him with the strangest, most absurd request ever. He goes, okay, I have an idea. You don't want to marry your daughter to so-and-so about you have Rainera marry her two-year-old brother. Bro, I get, I get so mixed up with the names, you know? So I was like, oh wait, no, I thought Agon was the baby. Who's Agon? Agon must be somebody else. And then I was like, oh no, wait, I no i thought agon was the baby who's agon agon must be somebody else

and then i was like oh no wait i'm right agon is the baby like i it was so preposterous i thought that i just fucked all the names up i guess that's what these guys do back in the day but i mean jeez even viserys was like he was like bro he's two he was taking it back remember how we were like oh man thank god george rr martin this is straight from his source material we're getting Bro, he's two. He was taking it back. Remember how we were like, oh, man, thank God, George R.R. Martin, this is straight from his source material. We're getting all the stuff straight from George R.R. Martin's brain. That's the stuff we get from his brain. Last week, we're like, oh, my God, like an eight-year-old.

They're having some King Mario and an eight-year-old. Oh, no, this week we're talking incest with a two-year-old baby. Well, you know what? Think about it. It makes sense that of thrones would have been the first um tv mainstream friendly endeavor right they probably looked at all the books and they're like this one makes the most sense uh you got a guy and a girl you got a this and that a dragon and a white walker kind of all fits nicely and none of it's like that far-fetched so now we're getting into like the secondary stuff and it's only going to get weirder i'm sure as we get into the you know the

final the rest of the novels with george when he really started getting weird with it marion the two-year-old i mean jesus christ and shout out to the high council in the chat for telling us um wrong comment i put up he has no dragon that's why the figure she gave him a little action figure was so important to him it was representing his dragon who he lost shout out to the high council in the chat make sure you join the chat watch live you get a you get a dragon kind of when you're born like they she put the dragon in the one and then that's it like if you lose that dragon you don lose that dragon, you don't get a backup. You don't get nothing.

So it's like that's it. I don't know. Nick, do you have an answer to this? I'm not sure because also his – I think they said he rode Balerion the Dread, which is that giant fucking skull they keep hanging out around. Yeah. And I think that one was like hundreds of years old. Yeah.

And they say he was the last rider of it. So I don't know if he was given one that died and then he like upgraded to that. Because then also like we see today. So the dude at the end, just to fast forward real quick, that's Corliss' son, right? Like Leonor? Yeah, Leonor. Yes. And that's who they want Rhaenyra to marry.

That's Jaden Smith. He's one of the people. Yeah. He's Jaden Smith. He's one of the people. Yes, he's Jaden Smith. He's the Jaden Smith of Game of Thrones. So he was the one who came Dracarys and then be like, whoa, let's fucking go. Right. Because he was the one who wanted to fight. He was like, Damon, at least is fighting. So he comes in as like a dragon rider.

I don't know why Viserys couldn't have just, you know, hopped on another one, too. Whatever. Those are questions for another day. But that was a dope moment where he's like, that was like the kid who's battle hungry. And he's like, let's fucking go. Now we get to do some action. I love it. I take it all back about Viserys.

The fact this guy latched on to sing this song without a fucking dragon. He's like top notch in my book. God bless him. He's a survivor. For real, man. It's like in Grand Theft Auto when you wreck your car and you're like, oh, you gotta be kidding me. I gotta walk everywhere now. Like, you know could i could rip someone else out of their car

but it's just not the same it's not my car uh so we get the king getting drunk and all that we get kristen cole uh who's the guy who uh is like the advisor who keeps popping in he looks like a samwell tarley but with hair and a beard i didn't get his name like what's his forget about his name like what's his role what's his like uh you know job oh i this is what this is my note i like the chubby bearded guy which i'm the chubby bearded guy maybe that's why he just gets it though he tells it like yeah his son harwin he's like sir harwin of the breakers sick name and he, no, that guy, don't marry that bum. I'm fucking, he's my guy.

Fuck it, he's my guy. Oh, wow. Clem's got another guy. I mean, I have Damon. I'm already riding Team Damon. I like this guy, though. If people can tell me, like, if I should like, he's Harrenhal. He's a Harrenhal guy.

Lionel Strong, master of laws. I mean, come on on he's just kind of like a uh a lawyer he's like a legal counsel he's like i'll just tell you what to do i got this guy i got chauncey depute telling me here don't trust him he's just as sus as otto ever feeding anybody else information is sus they're always gonna be a little bit you know selfish and they're always gonna be having their own self-interest that guy seems to be the most uh i don't know if it's his own interest but he's like here's the best way to have the strongest kingdom to have the strongest throne do what you will with that but this is the best way to do it. I'm out. I'm out on him.

No offense to the lawyers listening, watching in the chat, but you just don't trust lawyers, right? We're like, if someone with lawyers starts talking, what's the angle for you right now here, buddy? Master of laws, that's the king lawyer in my mind. I don't want to fuck with a king lawyer. All right, I'm out on him. I also was out on Damon in episode one. I put it out there that I thought he was a creep. I said, oh, my God, is he going to be the next great

Thrones villain like Joffrey or You know whoever no Obviously not we were very off base on that I was very off base on that and I am Officially a Damon guy after this episode I mean how could you not be The guy who's Dressed as the crab feeder is a Damon guy

Well you make the whole crab Feeder outfit and then the crab feeder is a Damon guy. I did not see that coming. Well, you make the whole crab feeder outfit, and then the crab feeder dies right away, and you're like, oh, well, I guess I'm not going to not wear the crab feeder outfit. It's his episode, you know? It's his one big episode. The king tells Allison about his dream. He keeps seeing the male baby in a crown.

He's like, my obsession killed my wife in front of the fire. It was shot really cool. That was a really good scene, I thought. Because the one thing, when you watch a show like this, it's like borderline impossible to relate to any buddy in the show. Because it's like such far-fetched circumstances and whatever. But him being like, i felt so guilty and so i just named her the air because i was trying to make up for it because i fucking ruined everything is like that's something that like anybody i mean i go through with my kids and my family and the divorce and i'm like

if i could just help her then it would be all good and it was like a very uh you know like just we're talking about thrones and dragons and all that shit, but it was a very real like family dynamic that I thought was really cool. Yeah. They find a huge deer for the king. It's not white, but it's huge. And they tie it up. And this is the scene that we referenced earlier where they kill the deer.

He misses it the first time. They're like, oh, a little to the left, my lord. He hits it to the left my lord he hits it to the left and then it finally dies all the dogs were around it and a white deer right afterwards just walks up on rainera and kristen cole they don't kill it or anything but they just see it and they're like huh look at that thing that's what they were looking for well almost i was expecting jersey jerry to pop out of the fucking bushes and go, the signs, the signs. I mean, they were not exactly.

They were a little heavy handed with that one as well. When I think Otto says it's a white heart. And if there was ever a sign from the gods, it would be this. And then they tell you, well, my Lord, we didn't find you a right heart. But you know who did get a white heart it's this girl over here so uh more symbols and more signs that you know that rainier is like the pure one and you know bigger things await you know what benny off and weiss would have done they would have the deer like literally bow to her and everything would be like all right guys we fucking get the fucking yeah we understand you morons they return to camp

she's got the blood on her neck and her hair, and everyone's kind of giving the looks like, is that the princess? Like, what's going on here? She's not your average princess. They drag the Borin and everything, Kristen Cole behind her. And I thought this line was great from the king.

He says, the gods have punished me for my indulgence. Talking about a hangover. That's a very funny way to say,'m hung over as shit right now and the king gets a plea he's uh 10 plus 7 or 10 7 and 10 17 it took me a second at first and then i was like oh okay we're doing math all right i'm with you i'm with you i'm doing the math with you uh the king gets a plea for aid from the sea snake's brother and they're like you know damon would never send this out but do i show weakness if i provide the aid like they got into the war kind of like disobeying me in a way what does that say for me eventually the next morning decides i'm

gonna provide the aid it's my brother come on i also i didn't quite understand the logic of that being a sign of weakness wouldn't that be a sign of like you had to come crawling back to daddy uh for my help because you couldn't get this war done like i told you so and that's kind of how damon took it right when he sent the note yeah damon's so pissed that he literally shoots the messenger he kills him like or beats the shit out of him take that as like oh my god how embarrassing is that why he was so angry yeah i i i Yeah, I thought that Damon was like, there's no way my brother is getting credit for this. There's no way I'm going to let him be the one who wins this. I'm going to go win this shit right now. I guess it could be construed as like you should just let them.

They went against your word and you should just let them fucking die out there. So don't be a pussy. But I thought of it as much more of like a i'll bail you out because you're i told you so you fucking morons yeah and otto tells allison right away listen my grandson needs to be air so you need to have a conversation with the king and talk to him about this we can't have a girl air how many years are we gonna go on with a girl air get the firstborn son in there otto is basically just backseat quarterbacking his daughter's marriage here and giving her all

the playbooks he does remind me a lot of little finger oh big time little finger vibes out of him i'm surprised he's not like get him a funko pop of a dragon and he'll fuck he'll just do whatever you want his heart will melt his heart is through fucking toys. I felt a little more Tywin Lannister than Littlefinger. Like a guy who's – he doesn't have a claim to the throne, but an older guy, knows what's up, knows the whole lay of the land, and he's puppeteering his family in all the right ways. But, yeah, he is just a motherfucker who is he is not he is sus uh he's my number one sus guy for until until later until anything uh until he's dethroned he's number one

on the sus list his name has to be octobius octobius or something otto is way too calm he fooled me with otto i'll tell you right now and he's trying to fool everyone out with that that is some game of Thrones shit Octavius or some shit I don't like it Clem I don't know if you realize this You almost said Otto Octavius like Doc Ock This actor Otto is Lizard From Spider-Man

Oh shit So he was in the first Andrew Garfield And then they brought him back for No Way Home He's very underutilized in terms of his acting skill Because he's incredible in this show He made me hate him like that he's the kicker in the replacements too and it's like that guy's just a lovable dude so it man i hate that this guy has to suck but little finger is a great is karketty in the wire who's like a pretty memorable character too so uh they they know how to get you these thrones motherfuckers which he was i don't know go ahead i don't know if we want to

talk about there was the showrunner that like left the show like a few days after like that was the big news of the week and let's let's finish going through the the show itself and then we'll talk about the goings on on the series so rainiera and the king get into another fight about marrying and he swears to her on her mother's memory that she will not be replaced as the heir he tells her you can pick your own husband but you just have to get married like this is what what happens you know i don't care if you don't want to laenor the son of the sea snake suggests offering damon to the crab feeder to bait him out then hit him with the dragons damon gets the note pissed he hits the guy over and

over i don't know if the guy's dead i don't know if the guy's just severely wounded it looked bad though it looked like a serious freak out almost kylo ren-esque to bring it to star wars just a complete freak out and the note the king we get a narration of him reading it says hey i sent 10 ships and 2 000 men i'll pray upon your return like good luck out there brother but he was just he was real pissed about it damon goes out there waves the white flag surrenders and he got me for even a second like i heard the plan i knew what the plan was but there was a second there i was like oh man he's gonna surrender what's going on here is he's that mad at his brother no it's a trap once again to bring it back to star wars it's a trap it's a trap damon gets surrounded he gets shot by arrows he gets into this little wooden cave cubby little shack and dragons to save the day dragons and his dragons

behind him i will say the army um talk about waiting to the last fucking second maybe the backup could have come a little bit earlier maybe they were making a real dramatic entrance yeah they had a flair for the dramatic the crab feeder retreats to the caves we get a cool shot of him like doing his weird like twitching stuff he's got half hair half half scurvy, grayscale. It has grayscale. The chat confirms it has grayscale. It is grayscale, yeah. Yeah, yeah. He retreats back. We get a cool shot of him just walking back to the caves.

And I figured that's the last we'll see of him for this episode. And, you know, he'll be a threat looming over this whole show. No, no, no. Damon says, I'm going to take matters into my own hands. And just drags that guy's body out. Half of his body. Intestines going everywhere. And he's like, and just drags that guy's body out. Half of his body, intestines going everywhere. And he's like, yeah, that's what I just fucking did.

You know what I like about that? And this is what I used to tell people about Game of Thrones way back when Thrones was first starting to pop into the mainstream. And a lot of people would be like, I don't like dragons. I don't like fantasy. And I would always tell them this is a game. This is a game this is a story about politics and power and basically government and and there's just this fantasy element that that's the kind of bad guy the crab feeder that in this in this type of show is not gonna like lord over the whole thing like he's a fucking creepy, good, like single episode boss.

He's not the big boss. Just slice that guy in half. We don't even need to show you the fucking battle because at the end of the day, he's just some creepy guy in the corners of the earth where the people who really matter are, you know, these kings and queens and people who have armies and all that kind of shit.

So it's almost like the fact that we didn't even get to see the battle kind of show the fight the final fight shows you how like insignificant a guy like that is i would have liked to see the slice through the middle maybe when we start like i would love the next episode to start from damon's point of view in that cave that could be cool although at this rate next episode will be another two years in the future um but but yeah like just like this is just a little side quest let me kill this guy show you his intestines like i'm the fucking man now kind of to bring it back where you're talking with your kids and bowser before like this guy i thought this guy could be the guy this guy isn't bowser this guy is even one of

bowser's kids that you fight in the castle this is just one of those just boss guys that you fight in like the middle castle of one of the levels of mario and it's just like oh this guy's just some faceless dude i'll forget in three episodes i i would kind of love it though if it turns out like damon was chasing him he fell and like just like split in half just because he was clumsy and he was all gray scaled out he's some fucking needs twitch he just fucking fell just shattered because his body isn't tatters and he was like i killed this motherfucker with my bare hands guys look what i did here he just fell apart like a zombie yeah dame dragged him out like a badass he reminded me of um reggie ledoux from two detectives season one when he had the mask on in his in his underwear he's like seven feet tall and you think that he's

like the ultimate bad guy and even he was like oh this goes so much higher than me so crab feeder is a great visual and an ultimate like you know monster type of guy but bigger you know just a device to show uh what damon's really all about we and we also have to shout out the good guys on the show the good guys like you said the dragons dragons, Seasmoke Awesome name for a dragon, just to be lighting Motherfuckers up, Damon's dragon The more you see, the more it looks like

He got the inbred dragon That has a couple extra chromosomes all over the place And then I love dragons Breathing fire, the occasional eating a person Cool as shit too, but like you guys said When he smushed the guy in the beginning, and then when he was picking them up and dropping them,

I was like, it's like these fuckers can kill people in ways I wouldn't even think of. Like if you're a dragon, the least efficient way to kill people is to pick individually, pick them up and throw them. That's how you know you just have a little bit of fun. I'm flaming you. I'm stomping you, but I give you the occasional, whoo! I'm calling it now. Episode 3. Calling it right now

live. September 4th, 2022. Before the end of this series, we will have Dwayne Wade to LeBron. One dragon up, other dragon eats it. We're going to have an olive dragon kill. I'd like a skeet shooting. Throw it up and then flame him.

Flame it? That would be sick. I don't know if you guys would agree with me on this. The Dracarys, I hate saying this word, it's cringe. I don't like hearing them say, Dracarys. I think it was such a Daenerys Targaryen

thing for me that it was hers and I thought other i like other people doing it it kind of it it bothers me i know you gotta say it the right way though he was too like happy about it like i got pizza the car now look at me i'm out on my own chakaris chakaris chakaris it was itacarys. It didn't have the gravity, the gravitas. Give me a good one. Give me one with gravity, KFC. I don't even know if I can because I'm not like these bad bitches.

It's all about... Dracarys! I just woke up the kids. That was crazy. Definitely woke the kids up. That was really good. Jonah Hill, he was like, boom, boom, boom, boom, with the gun. That's what these guys are with. Dracarys, Dracarys, but that was great. That was really good. Jonas, Jonah Hill, he was like, boom, boom, boom, boom,

with the gun. That's what these guys are with. Boom, two cars, two cars, two cars, two cars. I'm going to burn you. By the way, breaking news via super producer Nick Hamilton. Next episode is one year ahead. Time jump of one year.

And episode five, I don't know if it's five episodes and then they're out, or if episode five is when the new actors start. So next week could be the last we see of these people that we've already fallen in love with. Or maybe one more week. I'm really going to miss Rhaenyra. She's an amazing actress. Dude, that girl, I hope she takes this and runs with it and is already working on the next big project

because talk about a raw deal where her agent was probably like, yo, I don't know if this actress has other roles that I should know about or if she's new, but her agent was probably like, holy shit, we got you the lead in Game of Thrones. And she was like, oh, word. And they were like, just one little caveat. You're only in it for four episodes. Sorry.

But like that girl, I mean, in a short amount of time, has done as much as you can to make people love you. All right. The final ad read of the podcast is for Game Time. Game Time is a ticketing app that makes it easier than ever to score last-minute tickets on sports, concerts, shows, whatever you'd like. I went to go see Rage Against the Machine and the Red Hot Chili Peppers with GameTime. I would love to go see maybe another Yankee game this year with GameTime. I absolutely love it. It's very easy to use. The app is very user-friendly.

And the best part is you'll get $20 off your first purchase if you go to the game time app go to the account to create a login takes two seconds and redeem the code mmb for $20 off your first purchase download game time last minute tickets lowest price guaranteed yeah absolutely and the crab feeder we were talking about him before clem said maybe i'll forget him in three episodes i think as far as one episode villains go i think the crab feeder was fantastic i think i'll remember him very good visually his his actual tactic of nailing people's hands to the spikes and then just going and letting crabs go after him i thought he did exactly what we needed him to and some people are saying we might not even have a big bad in this show do you guys think that this will be way more succession focused than you know

white walker focused not saying the white walkers literally but you know a villain like well that was i mean game of thrones was very succession if we just had this you know this army marching yeah but there was that that looming threat um, I don't know. Because unless there's, you know, we already have all the dragons. And there's no army of the dead. So it's just mostly like men and humans, right? Like there's no, everybody's kind of on equal ground. I mean, the Targaryens have the dragons. So who's, you know, who's going to stop that?

Yeah, a lot of politics. I also gave the king. I gave the king till episode four last week. I said I think he's dead in episode four, and I'm sticking to that prediction. I think he's gone next week. Interesting. I've tried to not – like I've tried to Google some names and shit, and then I realized that like anything you click or look at can basically be a spoiler.

So it's very hard to like research or keep up with any of these things because the book's already out. And every Wikipedia has like their death dates or who they're married to or whatever that might spoil. So I just got to I just, you know, we kind of just go into it blind. Even with like the next ons, which I sometimes try to avoid. And it's like if the king shows up on the next episode of episode five, I'm like, oh, he made it to the 10-year jump here. Yeah. I hate next ons. I love previouslys ons. I think that when I become president one day, my presidential platform, every single episode of every TV show and absolutely every new season always has a previously on that gives you all the characters that you might need. And you know, and sometimes they take from here and from

here and from here, because this episode is going to have all of these elements in it. Every season, every episode of every show should always have a previously on and fucking next on because the next one is nothing but mini spoilers. I will say this, though. The previously on is the only issue is when you have a guy come out of fucking nowhere. Like, I remember in Thrones, one of the last seasons, they brought it back to when Jon Snow's uncle disappeared. And he ended up coming back. I'm like, oh, we're meeting Benjen again. We're going to meet Benjen. When Benjen came riding out in the fucking i was like are you

kidding me benjen out of nowhere from the clouds get the fuck out of here but it was on previously on i'm like up there you are you fuck you you goddamn pretty but i agree previously ons are better than the next ones and by the way anyone who watches the challenge on here they always when they did like this season on the challenge it looked like the greatest show even on the absolute dogged shows it was always the best like thrones i think they did like this season on the challenge it looked like the greatest show even on the absolute dog of shows it was always the best like thrones i think they did like this season on thrones i didn't touch it but i'm sure it looks like the greatest show of all time which again fizzles three for three right now boys i think we all agree three for three heavy three for three two yeah no i mean this was uh this is all you could ask for uh i guess it's a good time now to talk about the show itself because one of the showrunners, three episodes in, is gone.

And they replace him with one of the OG Game of Thrones early season, early episodes showrunners. Which to me, I didn't read much of the article. I just kind of saw the headlines. But that stinks to high heavens for me. That reeks of a guy who, when the finale went south, went on to do some other projects and washed his hands of thrones or whatever. And then as soon as the new one came out and it was, like, banging and the ratings were awesome and the viewership was up he was like uh i want back on board and like you gotta go because there's i mean there's no way that guy wanted to give this up just two two episodes in to his like re you know revamping the greatest series ever he gets the fucking boot for

it you know i mean that's like the old coach wanting to come back once the team is good fuck that you think that's what happened i read his statement and he said it was like he said it was the best decision for me personally and professionally it was so hard for me to come to this conclusion like i've poured so many years yeah i've been i've poured so many years of my life into this and now i'm like done that is uh wait wait how old is this guy what what was he saying? I think he's pretty young, and he already signed a deal with HBO to develop new shows for them, and there's rumors that he's going to work on the Jon Snow show. So I'm thinking when he says that this is the best thing for me personally and professionally,

I think that's HBO coming in and saying, and this is all speculation, but I'm just concocting my own fucking succession in my head right now. But yeah, this is HBO coming in and saying, we need to keep our original cash cow happy. He wants back on board. You're the new guy. We're going to replace you.

We promise you, we'll give you the Jon Snow project or the blood moon project or the other, one of the other 10 fucking spinoffs we were talking about doing. But right now, you got to get out of here because this guy wants back on. I don't know if that guy had much of a... I don't know how much power that guy has, though. I don't know.

I think he only directed like seven episodes. I think he literally just directed like seven episodes. One of them was Beyond the Wall, which some people... So then why would... What the fuck happened then this is what i heard and again this i think people on twitter had told me this is originally he he was kind of like didn't know if he wanted to come back but i think he probably loves the

the um the brand as much as he does right so he's like i i want to get this back off the ground i think everyone's like this thing is smoldering in flames. And it would be like this. Say Barstool, we fucking explode in a bad way in like five years. And everyone's like, I can't believe Barstool was so great. And then just some shit happened. Probably from one of the three people on this paddle is doing, right? But then like me, Robbie, we're like, we're going to start a beer league sports. We're going to try to bring this back.

We're like, Kev, we just need you. You're like, dude, I got a shitload of stuff. And you just, you're like, I'll help you get off the ground here. We're off the try to bring this back. We just need you. You're like, dude, I got a shitload of stuff. I'll help you get off the ground here. We're off the ground. He sees this thing flying. He's like, alright, you guys are good. I'm good. I'm going to go do my thing now. So that's what I have to tell myself. I could get down with that, but then to replace, like, for the other guy

to have to go, he's probably been working on this for how long? And then he gets the fucking boot? That sucks. It sucks. If he got the it sucks if he got the boot if he got the boot he might have just walked away i thought he was gone oh well yeah i mean i guess you know so you think he actually wanted to walk away i don't know i don't know if i can believe that but um either way i think this has to do whatever it is. I think it's all predicated upon the early success of the show.

And Bob, I know this has got to make you happy. I feel like HBO and Game of Thrones has absolutely smashed Lord of the Rings. Smashed. Like I haven't watched Rings of Power yet. I am a big Lord of the Ring. Well, I shouldn't say big because i'm not one of the freaks but i do really enjoy lord of the rings i will get to it at some point uh but i have not heard like a fucking peep about it shout out to hbo right when rings of power got released and started to trend they they released episode one of house of the dragon on YouTube for free.

So that started trending and everyone was watching it. I can't believe there are people who want to watch Game of Thrones and don't have HBO and then are just like, well, I'm not going to watch it. I mean, I guess some people can't afford it, but that's crazy to me. But anybody who wasn't able to watch could all of a sudden watch and they were trending and like Shane shitting on their parade. I have not heard anything about rings of power. I haven't heard of peep, not a single band. Maybe people know, don't go to Bob about the Lord of the Rings takes.

He's not a Lord of the Rings guy, but I haven't heard a single peep. Yeah. And, and like, not that I, so I watched it and I think they fucked up releasing. I think they saw that game of Thrones was coming back,

and they were like, this will be perfect that we release the two biggest fantasy franchises at the same time. And Lord of the Rings is just a much more family-friendly. It's a PD version. And to put that up against, they were probably like, everyone's out on Game of Thrones. We're going to fucking come in week two and destroy that that's what it's like it just it doesn't go but it's good on its own but thinking of it with game of thrones at the same time it's like i'm gonna

pick game of thrones every fucking day of the week yeah i think i do believe that um lord of the rings announced their start date first and then thrones was like we're gonna go two weeks before that i think that was very on purpose i also think it's like not not uh like i think that there's a lot of violence and some really fucking big battles and some gruesome shit early on because amazon and lord of the rings is going to give you pg and we love game of thrones for the tits and PG and we love Game of Thrones for the tits and ass and violence and blood and bestiality and pedophilia and all this other fucking crazy shit. And then you go to see Lord of the Rings and it's like, okay, this is just

like a kiddie version. That's not to say that it can't be good on its own, but I'm nerdy in both worlds and I just haven't seen good or bad. Like, if people were like, that premiere sucked or that premiere was awesome, I just haven't seen anything. I will say I thought the premiere was good on its own. But, again, yeah, compared to Thrones, it's nothing of the caliber where it was exciting. Like, there's hints of they're, like, trying to find Sauron and shit. So, like, you're getting a lot of the same like feel, but yeah, it doesn't like compared to what this prequel has been.

It blows that out of the water. That sucks, man. That's, that's, uh, that's like, I guess you could,

you got to show ever made. It's like 50 million per episode or something. Right. And that's why, like, I think it's just so cocky and, and overly confident to be like, we'll go toe to toe with Thrones. There's no reason, like, just push this 10, a couple months, and then everybody loves it.

Like, perfect example. I like both, but I, Thrones wins for me. So if there's ever, you know, Sunday night, I want to watch one, I can't watch the other. It's always going to be Thrones. But if there was 10 weeks of Thrones and then Lord of the Rings started, yeah, you might be like bending the knee and you might be like capitulating. But there's no shame in being like we didn't want to go toe to toe with Lord of the Rings. It's like with Game of Thrones. They're like HBO and Game of Thrones is like the NFL and nobody schedules against them. Everybody just lets the NFL have Sunday and then we'll play on Monday because we don't fuck with that.

They should have just done that. And then everybody, Hey, are you still fiending for a little bit of that? Uh, fantasy like adventure shit. Come on over to watch Lord of the Rings. Even Bob Fox.

Maybe we'll go watch an episode. Probably not. This is a deep rooted star Wars. Oh man. It's so so weird there's only one return it's of the jedi by the way someone said rings of power did 25 million viewers i don't believe that i just don't if game of thrones did 10 i don't believe that rings of power did 25 million there's i mean 25 million to put that in perspective, the finale, the series finale of Thrones did $30. I don't think, I don't think that.

There's just no way. I just don't. I mean, I don't know, man. It is like a worldwide thing. So is Game of Thrones, though. You are talking about like a movie franchise, like big time movie franchises like but I don't know that seems bananas to me if it is if it's 25 million it's like none of them on the internet apparently I was waiting for someone to make my mind up I was like let me just hear some banter

on Twitter you'll just get it from people right retweet it or whatever and there was yeah there was absolutely nothing and even in the chat I we got you know it was all right it was good not as good as thrones awful mid it's all over the place so it's like and the one thing i'll say about lord of the rings is i feel like it just takes a lot more it's a lot slower progressing maybe it's because it's a movie about walking right bob that's kind of that's what it's all about i was like i don't have time for that i. I'm setting up enough shit with this. Plus, like you said, the real NFL is coming back on Sunday, and it's going to take over my life Sunday, Monday, Thursday,

and every minute of my day that the Mets are not playing, basically, is going to be Game of Thrones or the NFL. And someone here said, Derek Wright said it perfectly. It's like the XFL and the NFL. It's like if the XFL came out in the springtime, I'd probably watch it. But I'm not going to watch it if it's during nfl season is is um is it a weekly thing like it comes out sunday night at a time or is it a bit yeah it's it's thursdays and if they're doing it like they did last week they're actually doing it thursday at 9 p.m which like finally a fucking trainer does this right

instead of doing the goddamn 3am drop which has just been yeah those are all things to catch up on and then during thursday night football though right because that was i realized they own thursday instead of doing the goddamn 3am drop, which has just been impossible to catch up on. During Thursday night football, though, right? Because that was when I realized they owned Thursday night football as well? What the fuck are they doing? Yeah, that can't possibly be. They have fucking Thursday night football. Oh, Bezos is going to kill somebody.

Yeah, they're going to fuck that one up. Or was it Wednesday? I don't know. I watched it Thursday at 9. It dropped. I thought it was a weird time. Someone in the chat is saying Friday now. Yeah, because I know.

I think it's technically Friday. I know that they have Thursday night football because I have the Amazon football. Oh, you got the Amazon football. Clem, here we go. Listen, Clem. I am the only person on the planet Earth that has this. Pull your mic over. Get your mic.

I am the only person on the planet Earth that has this football. You got the actual one from the end? I mean, the guys who shot the commercial, obviously they shot it. I am the only non-quarterback and non-commercial actor person who got this football. There's 8 billion people on the planet, and I'm the only – can you say with certainty that you are the only person on the planet that has ever done anything? Because I am the only person to hold this in my hands and have in my house.

What's wrong with it? Can I ask you that? What's wrong with that football? If that was born in Game of Thrones times, they would throw it off a cliff. Yes. Yeah, I mean, it's just – it's – I mean, the people who thought we were really going to play with this, like, skinny-ass football are out of their minds. But I'm just – I feel like I'm wielding power. This is like my Lord of the Rings.

I'm wielding power with this. I have this, and nobody else does. It might be a dragon, Kev. It might be a dragon, Kev. It might be a dragon. Put that in the fucking, in Keegan's bed tonight. And that could be his future dragon. Also, I got to mention this too. People are saying that the showrunners, the showrunner that's leaving, he had like, Skip said this. Winds of Winter, Blackwater, Battle of the battle the bastards some fucking heavy ass hitters

but then alan taylor who's coming in who's going to be doing some stuff as well kind of the replacement guy wasn't he did like baylor which was uh when ned stark died he had some decent skins in the game as well it's just he may not be that dude so i think we're all right with this so far though right like that's kind of the the big thing is i think we're all all right with this so far, though, right? Like, that's kind of the big thing is I think we're all feeling good about the future of House of the Dragon, no matter who's in it. Yeah. Well, also, there's so much, like, you don't even have to begin to worry about the finale. You're talking, you know, like, you still got to get it right. But, like, you have dozens of episodes before you can really, like to worry about like do we have the right

showrunner to go this way and that way like i think the early on episodes you have to do them right but it's still so much introduction and and just like uh you know moving the plot along and i mean we're about to replace a whole cast of characters of actors in a matter of episodes so i feel like it's all moving along right now and i guess showrunners are not quite as important i mean that's silly obviously they're very important but not like uh final season type show running yeah and some people are saying in the chat like hey you know the showrunner says that he's going to be the executive producer like till the end of the series that is like a nice credit to give him i don't think he's gonna have any say i don't think he's gonna be involved in the slightest i think that's like

hey you helped us get this off the ground and did the entire first season so we'll put name on every episode i don't think that's like the world when you start executively producing you just get credit for shit that you're not actually working on that's that's the that's the throne we should give an executive producer credit to someone on this show. Just someone that has nothing to do with it. Just throw one on there. Glennie Balls. Glennie Balls is the executive producer.

Yeah. Game School produced by Glennie Balls. The best thing is Robbie will tell tomorrow Robbie will tell Glennieie i am glennie you're the executive producer game of souls ago okay and he does like the glennie like like the upper lip okay cool this was his last weekend down the shore i wonder how him and jeff d low took it i picture them walking out of djs like rigs walking out of pinehurst just in tears

bro when when i used to labor day weekend for jersey shore houses i used to like love them like this can't come soon enough i would be limping to the finish line it's like 15 weekends in a row no human can withstand that any predictions for next week's episode we we talked about maybe doing a death pool type thing if we were doing that i would take king visiserys. The chopping block. Yeah. Who's on the chopping block?

Who do we think is about to, who do we think is going to die? King Viserys is definitely on the chopping block. I don't know if we're at like death points yet though. I mean, anybody can always catch it. That's how they get you, you know? Yeah. You would say that season one of Game of Thrones and then Ned Stark off with his head. Right, right. I just, but I feel like we're, again,

we're like going to reestablish the, I can see during the time jump that like somebody didn't make it or some shit like that. Like all of a sudden somebody's just no longer in it. But I feel like right now all these guys are – who would be your Ned Stark? I don't know. I guess if like – I was trying to actually remember – I was trying to think about the Red Wedding and what an equivalent of the Red Wedding would be. And I was just thinking like imagine if on Aegon's birthday right now like the whole fucking place got lit up.

That would be – like I wonder if there will ever be another Red Wedding. I wonder if George R.R. Martin has another scene up his sleeves. And if there's book readers, don't fucking put it in the chat. I don't want to see any spoilers. But will there ever be another scene on that level of slaughter or is that just the one? I have two pretty bad pretty bad ones one for obvious reasons the other for one of the people on here one i can see maybe like one of the babies getting killed like aegon and then like the the next brother is going to become like the heir whatever

because again if you can't trust the maesters you can't trust anybody and i hate to say it but i could see with our girl here, Rhaenyra, she, she, it seems like her and what's the guy, Kristen, Christian Cole.

Yeah. I feel like, like him and her makes such good sense to like get married. Cause that's what she would want. Even though politically it doesn't make sense. And he's just going to get taken out of the picture. Cause that's what always happens in Thrones. Your one true love gets ripped from you.

And then you just get thrown with someone else. And that's what causes happens in Thrones. Your one true love gets ripped from you and then you just get thrown to someone else and that's what causes all the fucking chaos. And I think that would be a great kill that hurts everybody's hearts but doesn't necessarily like, you know, it's not a major play or you're not taking out a main character. It is

like, everyone's pulling for our girl. All she wants is a regular life and some happiness. This is the guy that would provide it and we know that that's just not how it works when you are a targaryen you are when he says like i'm even i'm not above duty and and like uh and role or whatever or tradition and duty like she's got to do this and and she's actually here's my prediction exactly what you said he he consoled the christian cole and it's it's because rainera just like refused to admit that like you don't get to be normal you don't get to just be

the girl who falls in love with a regular guy that's not how this works and because you refuse to accept that you ended up putting him in the fucking crosshairs and it's your fault that he's dead because it's like at some point wake up like you're gonna get fucking killed if you're an heir and you refuse to marry and bolster your you know your position because you know it's it ain't no fucking around anymore we're not just talking about what you're taking to the prom talking about trying to fucking keep bloodlines alive and people don't like you people are coming for that ass you better you better marry someone important and strong bitch. And she's like

wiping the blood of the boar she just killed. She's like, yeah, motherfucker, I know. I don't like how quickly this turned on my guy, Kristen Cole. I declared myself a Kristen Cole guy episode one, and he's been living up to the hype. He's been not an Otto Hightower like Clem declared himself.

Every episode I'm like, every episode I'm like, that's my guy, Kristen. He looked awesome in his armor this episode. Don't you think he's so too good, though? He's like a true knight in shining armor. That doesn't play. Nobody's

like that in New Thrones, you know? He looks like he smells so good, too. You don't smell good in Westerns. No one smells good in Westerns. That motherfucker smells good, man. Nobody would be good looking in that. Nobody has hair like that guy so good, too. And, like, you don't smell good in Western. No one smells good in Western. That motherfucker smells good, man. Nobody would be good looking in that. Like, no one has hair like that guy back in the day. Yeah. He'd be a fucking brain.

I know. What's he, L'Oreal back in Game of Thrones? Yeah. His hair is unbelievable. He has some shampoo and conditioner with his baby pug. I mean, come on. That dude, his body count puts the Viper's body count to shame. Like, that dude just fucked.

Yeah, he fucks. He fucks. Also impressive that he ever had a helmet hair. King's guards can't marry or have kids. All right. Sorry. Oh, goddamn rules. It's like Jedi, though.

But, like, they said that about Jedi, and then Anakin went off and married Padme. Yeah, like, listen, if you got a dick, then you can marry and have kids, all right? For real. may yeah like listen if you got a dick then you can marry and have kids all right for real and i say that as a joke but also in game of thrones we know they'll you know if you get your dick chopped off like the unsullied and shit then you can't have kids but as long as you got a dick still you can fucking have kids all right so do we have any predictions for the next what i mean we saw literally someone get cut but nobody talks about unix. Yeah, we don't have anybody who's dickless yet. Yeah. Do we have any, so do we have a prediction for episode four?

A big prediction that's a little off the rocker here. I just feel like they're still doing so much like plot development that I don't think any big kill right now would kind of like throw up. Like it would halt any, any production we're having. I think we got to get to the time jump. These first few feel like we got, I wonder like if the,

does the book have a time jump or are we time jumping for television? Like, I don't know exactly what it is, but I feel like these first five episodes are like, we got to establish some fucking places people things situations and then we can get into the nitty-gritty yeah i was gonna say we get check off dragon finally coming back where they're like dragon just flew away he's just gone and he's a fucking murderer i'd love to see that dragon come back i don't think it'll be by the next episode i do think it'll come back i was almost expecting

this to happen in the woods but it was a bore i want to see a fucking dire wolf soon i want to see a dire wolf i want them to be enormous so it's kind of going off a dire wolf i don't think we'll see a dire wolf but i think we're going to meet a stark finally we got a little talk about walls and stuff like that the north yeah i got a little tingle when they said that yeah a little tingle in the balls baratheon we've already we've already gotten touch base with them. We've gotten to Doran a little bit. We've met some people from Doran. So I'm hoping we get either a Stark.

I don't want a fucking Bolton. Don't give me those sleazy fucking Boltons. I want a Stark. I want a great, great, great grandpa of the king, the true king, Bran Stark. Yeah, I mean, we're too far. We're 135 years before Dany's birth, right? Yes.

170. We can't even see old people from the first series, right? It was briefly a Stark in episode one. Right? There's a Rickon Stark. The one that right? I was going to say, there's a Rick on Stark. It's who

the one that we know is named after. Okay, interesting. I think that's going to sprinkle in a few more references to the OG shit for the people, but I think this is all about just getting to the real actresses and actors

who are going to carry the rest of this series. It better be good. Damon's mistress. We're going to see her boobs in this episode. That's my prediction. I'm changing it 100%. Tits. Yes.

Tits, tits, tits, tits, tits. All right. We will be back next week for another episode of House of the Dragon. Do we have a confirmed guest? I saw some tweets about it. I just saw Feidelberg pumping my tweet to subscribe. I also did get a tweet from Will, a text from Will.

The reason he couldn't come on was he wasn't even able to watch tonight because his baby has like a stuffy nose and she was trying to put her to bed. And then he saw the introduction that Nick made for him. And he was like, wow, I'm really sorry for letting you guys down. Once he saw that, I think he felt very honored that he was in the opening sequence. So we'll get Will on another episode and we can see if Feidelberg's around. But listen, the fact that you get put into the opening theme by the master Nick Hammy, everybody should want to be on this show just to see what your house flag and what your whole city looks like.

So come on, Game of Stools, the number one after show. Fuck the HBO one. The fact that people, yo, if you watch the official HBO after show, you're a fucking loser, dude. Like what are they going to tell you? They're not going to get any funny shit. You're not going to get any jokes. You're not going to get any homemade thrones.

It's all just going to be water carrying for the producers and shit. Come over to game of stools. The real official after show. We were number two last week. If you guys rate review and subscribe on and subscribe on iTunes, on Apple, we will be number one this week. Make sure you subscribe to My Mom's Basement if you're watching on YouTube as well. The numbers have been true to roof.

So do the right thing and make Game of Stools the number one after show in all the realm. If you want to have people that know what they're talking about and know that a Stark was in episode one, watch the HBO one. I'm sure it's very nice. It's like listening to your official team's podcast. It's very nice there. We bring it from straight – it's straight from the gut. We're saying we love people that are the biggest snakes in the show

because we have simple brains and we get fooled too. That's what we have here. You know what it's like? It's like Suge Knight. If you don't want your podcasters to be the producers from the show all up in the podcast come to game of stools because if this show sucks we'll tell you it's not because we told you season eight's like and no one believed us until about episode three they said these guys got it right at least that's with all the reviews actually yeah bump up those reviews too if you can on apple five stars i think

we it's like if you go back to what's like you guys are the worst i hate you guys no one knows what they're talking about and then it was like oh yeah you guys are pretty good you guys and shout out to the chat if you were in the chat tonight keep coming back keep being the high council for us keep telling us what we're wrong helping us out through the episode i appreciate all the people in the chat talking thrones jacob thomas all of them.
