What is that? Can we all make a promise that nobody tries to do any cosplay with King Viscous' fucking sores all over his back and his body? If we go live and I see someone with their shirt off with sores all over them, I'm out. Okay? We're not doing that. I'm out on that as well. That was gross. Seeing him as gross as zombie body just thrusting from behind.

Oh, I'm not getting fucked by that guy. Jesus Christ. Oh, my God. Put on some bandages, dude. But it is House of the Dragon episode four. We were told going in this one's going to be the most controversial it's going to have the most nudity and i think it lived up to that hype when you see that tvma as a kid tvma with the n for nudity and ssc strong sexual content

was like yeah we're getting it tonight and even as a fucking almost 40 year old man i see that and it makes me go okay all right all right that's what thrones is all about clem what were your uh overall thoughts on the episode uh it was what do we i think we said it was going to be a political thriller that was what a lot of people were saying it was it was kind of that but it was like a he said she said right um now this is like a tmz ep yeah exactly you know what this is why when when we heard that george rr martin referred to it as hot d this is this is the episode this is the hot d episode for sure ladies and gentlemen this podcast is brought to you by three chi they are our presenting sponsor they have been for years

I don't get the screen for some reason, which really bums me out. We need an I for incest, though, because there's two kinds of nudity. There's nudity with a bunch of randos getting hot and heavy in a brothel. And then there's a niece and her uncle just straight up fucking rubbing nasties.

I don't enjoy that very much. I don't even enjoy the, like, stepbrother porn. No matter who's in it, I'm just skipping to the next one. It just doesn't do it for me. As I say this dressed as a fucking 80-year-old man right now. That's what's so funny to think about when George Martin is writing these. Like, he looks like that, you know, and he's like, he's not going have the the brother

fuck the sister and the uncle fuck the niece he's such a furry little creep and kfc your debut in the dreads tonight for the sea snake they look good up the sea snake i got did the sea snake get his internet is down now last week it was mine this week it might be ke's. We'll keep rolling. I'm sure his internet will improve by the time that we continue. Nick Hamilton, super producer, are you there? Oh, yeah. The people wanted to see your costume.

I got my wig in the mail this week. It's a Witcher wig. So it's a pretty nice setup. Pretty good, though. It looks like it's staying out of the eyes. It looks like it goes back well. Yeah. though it looks like it's staying out of the eyes it looks like it goes back well yeah yeah no it's awesome that's i found out it came with the little wig like the hair in that thing too uh all right i'm gonna bop out we got johnny is in now

oh fantastic john feidelberg of house kfc radio i see some white hair already. I, guys, I have regrets. Do you? I called Kevin, and I was like, I'm going to be Damon, because Damon's my guy. Oh, no! I'll get myself for that. And I got to rest in pieces for a little crab feeder thing. And I have regrets.

I have regrets. Yeah, this was not the week to be damon no nope there's a lot of crazy stories john feidelberg has told on kc radio a lot of sex stories i hope we never get the one about the cousin and you going to you know mingle in the big city and uh go to the brothel i hope i never hear that one well let me just make sure we're not going to be taken down for you having the football game on in the background. Are we? I'll turn it off.

Okay. Just making sure that the NFL doesn't, you know, shut down house of the stools. I think John's on first, first name basis with the quarterback playing in that game. Now, despite everything I just said,

I'm still Damon. Damon had a haircut. Oh, yes. He did. He was rocking that short look. Yes. Dude, let me say – I don't know what you guys discussed when I was just gone for a second. Add it to the chair.

Add it to the throne. I think add it to the chair, he said, when he dropped the sword. Awesome. What a line. What a line. What a fucking line. Add it to the chair, and it clanksanks to the ground and the subtitles say clank. Oh, that was so fucking dope, man.

That's like a Nike just do it slogan. Add it to the chair. Oh. There were a lot of very good lines in this episode. Yeah. I also love how they continue to come up with cool ways to say about being hungover or whatever. Oh boy, getting lost in his cups. That's a great one.

That one. And then also the hair of the dog where they said, this will clear the fog. Yeah, clear the fog. Yeah. Hour of the owl. We saw that the hour of the owl. Yeah. I loved the hour of the owl.

I love that line. We should just get right into it. There's a lot to cover in this episode. We see right can uh ray nira is on a tour they called it of looking for a new contender for her hand a bunch of people are presenting themselves she absolutely roasts the first guy for being old she's like how fucking old are you which i don't think you can ask in a job interview i don't think that's allowed a kid is up next though she also kind of roast him for being a kid and then another guy is like oh you think you're gonna protect her she's a dragon you dumb cunt that's what he says to the kid and the kid kills him for that he's like okay you want to you call me a dumb cunt i'm gonna stab you to death i was surprised by that kill what what a

what a quick little just a little toss in like i need a i need an extra scenes on the DVD. Like what happened there? They turn around. The guy's got a fucking broadsword through his stomach. He's spitting out blood. That was some good pink smoke. That was good. If you like pink smoke, that was good pink smoke.

And then there was, if you look closely, the little dude, he starts to retch and go. He probably just killed his first guy. Then we just go, don't look at that. That's it. Nothing else happened. It was unbelievable. I think when we do the time jump 10 years in the future, that kid is going to be like some

fucked up badass. I hope so. I hope there's more to that guy. I'm buying stock in this kid. The kid's my guy. I'm doing it. I love that kid. I fucking love that kid. I just love this guy. A kid's my guy. I'm doing it. I love that kid. I fucking love that kid. He's a good guy to have. A kid just gutted a dude. No one batted an eyelash, and they're calling the little kid

a cunt, then they're calling each other twats. This fucking Joe's the best, man. George R.R. Martin's a creep, but he's a fucking creep that is entertaining. Give him that. Calling a little kid a cunt is like the fifth worst thing they did to a little kid this episode. That was pretty tame. Everyone gathers in the throne room for damon's arrival comes in swooping on the fucking dragon he almost like puts the ship to the side coming in on a dragon so hot and he debuts his new haircut looks good i don't know where that came from

uh yeah go ahead way too invested in this haircut on my my fake hair that i just gave with scissors like wait no it doesn't look great right over here it looks okay it looks patty the baddie-esque yeah it does then it's fantastic and he offers his new crown he was declared king of the narrow sea after the war to the king tense for a moment but they embrace everyone claps it's a happy moment um and then allison asks if damon wants to see uh tapestries afterwards and they laugh right in her face we don't want to see the tapestries get the fuck out of here that was that was as close to uh as always sunny in in game of thrones i think we're gonna get that was like sweet like you don't bird no tapestries you idiot yeah it was really good there's a conversation about popping

out airs living in fear between alice and reynera very awkward when they realize like oh you're talking about me yeah that was that was as mean that was some mean girls shit right there maybe it was unintentional but yeah i want to be trapped in a castle and pop out babies oh whoops that's the bitch who's trapped in a castle baby imagine that like you're talking to a postman you're like could you imagine walking a block and just handing mail to every house my wife when i uh when i first graduated college my first job was selling new york liberty group sales tickets and we went to a mess game she went to we went to a mess game and there was like a guy selling like

you know like the baseball bats and the helmets and no one was even paying in my mind and she's like what's suck to be someone selling something that no one wants and i'm like you're dating a group sales ticket representative for the new york liberty right here honey but she stuck with me god bless her that's how i knew she was the one she stuck with me through that she's a keeper man she loves you she. She stuck with me through that. That's how she's the keeper, man. She loved you. She loved you for sure. And going back to the origin of the costumes, she was basically the start of it all.

She was the one that told Clem, dress up for the first episode. She's created everyone. You know that she probably used to go around and be like, oh, yeah, he does group sales at Madison Square Garden for the games at the garden. Exactly. Just leave it up. That's what every job is, is lying to make it okay.

Every job is. And it's boring and not interesting. Says four guys dressed in complete costumes talking about it so much. We got better than us, baby. We used to talk about that all the time in the early days of our school, where it's like you're trying to say you're a blogger without saying blogger. Yes. Or it's sports media.

Right. say you're a blogger without saying bloggers yeah sports media right the council says that they've traded the crab feeder for the sea snake and that lord corliss is just running shit over at the stepstones now you should probably wed your daughter to someone from bravos or something they said to unite the houses they're like he's gonna he's a little mad about the whole not daughter thing years ago you didn't marry reynier ago. You didn't marry his daughter, so we're a little upset about that. He's going to marry his daughter off. Rhaenyra should probably go and marry someone at this point, which time is ticking. I think we skipped maybe a year forward in this episode because last episode was Aegon's second birthday,

and then in the play during this episode, they said like the air is three. Also, I was a big fucking baby Clem. Did you notice that? She turned around when she was rocking him. Yeah. That baby looked like he was about 60 pounds. Big daddy Trent right there.

Yeah. By the way, listen, I mean, it, that would be a super team. If, if they married,

they'd have the Naval fleet and They'd all have the dragons. I mean, that would be – that's the rant on the Warriors right there. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think that's going to happen? No, I'm just saying, like, it does all make the most sense. Like, listen, bitch. Listen, bitch.

You're not going to get to just have a regular boyfriend and a regular husband, okay? Look around you. Look what just happened. That little boy just stabbed that guy in the fucking stomach you're not just gonna have like you know you don't get to date the prom king all right it's just gonna be the guy who like you know has the most dragons yeah i don't think everyone was marrying the love of their life back in throne i don't think so not everyone was super happy with their it's a smidge because his, her father was like in love with, with his,

with his wife. And it was, uh, you know, he is, he's a romantic. So it kind of right before he murdered her. Yeah.

He'll never get over it though. John, he'll never get over it. That was my whole thing coming into today before today's episode. I was like, Damon's my guy. That, that King's a pussy and an asshole.

And then today's episode happened. I'm like, yeah. I know. Last week I was so anti-Damon. And then at the end of last week I said, you know what? Fuck that. I'm so pro-Damon now. I'm so on his side.

I should have just kept my mouth shut last week. I just wrote it out. We've seen it like five episodes, five weeks in a row now. Proclaiming anybody your guy in house of the dragon is a dangerous game you get you get caught real quick like in one week you get proven wrong it's a minefield of problematic shit you're stepping on yeah i don't want to defend him because again i'm i'm not a big fan of vince ah do it clam do it damon had some fresh haircut energy going and he can't really blame the fresh haircut going Right I mean he was like

Fights has like a better glow than he did when he joined the stream Just cause he cut a wig If you have a fresh haircut going You're named king of the narrow sea That's such a fucking awesome name too You have a crown that was given to you Anything that goes in that like 48 72 hour period

That's just fresh haircut energy I was waiting for Clem to be like, I don't want to, I don't want to defend him, but like right near is really hot. Right. I thought he was going there too. How long is a fortnight? That's how long fresh air could energy should last you.

I think. It's like two weeks. Yeah. All right. Uh, Rainier finds a secret door in the castle, in her room and a little bag packed by her uncle damon with basically stuff for her to go out dressed up like i go to the office she puts on

a beanie she goes out she's mistaken for a boy in the streets they go to some freak show street too there's some crazy shit going on in in the in the town sex in the streets fire breathers how about the sample guys the one guy just getting resuscitated they were just like doing cpr on him i don't know if they knew cpr back in the day like that but that guy just laid out and everyone's just stepping over him like whatever man back then they probably had cpr what's that so they had abortion juice they had cpr for sure that was like 70ss New York City right there. It was like the smoke in the alley.

That was the only part missing from that. It's like Times Square is what I was told Times Square was like back in the day. And they go to a play basically about their life. We saw some of this in Thrones. We've seen it in the Thor movies where it's like a funny fictionalized version of the show that we're actually watching. And it's very mean to Rhaenyra. People boo Rhaeny nera in the crowd she's trying to like cheer herself she's like boo no i think she's great like very very funny well executed scene and in the midst of it we just flashed to king viserys being bathed all of his wounds out and everything and allison takes over

for the nurses and everything we didn't need that that. That was gross. No, we did. Honestly, that's exactly what I thought. Like, we don't need this scene of a 15 year old cleaning a man who's literally falling apart. Well, it was, it was a nice little juxtaposition of like the two different,

you know, she's at home cleaning up her fucking corpse of a husband. Wow. Well, you know, her best friends out there riding in the streets and getting fucked and having like a hot romantic night. You know, by their standards. I'm not saying I condone it.

I'm just saying that's what she was doing. She had a smile on her face. It was consensual. I don't know. Whatever. Very hard episode to do. It's fucked up because, like, I feel like Rhaenyra's the only character that hasn't really aged at all.

I'm like, yo, make her look a little older now, guys. And it got to the point she's like eight years older. Fucking her dad, Rickety Viserys, has lost like four more limbs every time we jumped on. Let's just fucking make her look a little older so scenes like this don't feel extra fucking awkward. That dude has like seven new holes in his body.

Yeah. He hasn't aged a day. He's gonna look like Lieutenant Dan in the next episode. So here is the hot, steamy action you were speaking of, Kevin. We get Damon taking Rhaenyra to a brothel, taking his niece Rhaenyra to a brothel. The king's zombie ass is having some sex while this is going on. They're flashing back and forth. Damon starts making out with Rhaenyra, telling him, listen, sex is a pleasure. You know, it's something that people do for fun. People really really like it they're in the midst of an orgy basically like everyone around them is

having sex i'm thinking are they gonna do this right here and there even if you're gonna do the incest thing if you're gonna cross that line at least do it in private but no all right that's a that's a respect when you're fucking your niece and do it in a bedroom no respect they they fuck out in the open or at least they begin to it looks like it looks like a shirt's coming up pants are going down they're making out getting steamy and then damon just walks away and it's kind of left ambiguous like did they start having sex or did they not start having google says they did not so i was surprised to think that was like the interpretation i did not think they had

sex i i thought that that he maybe you know played like just the tip uh yeah he does the the classic movie like from behind which is kind of unrealistic it never really you don't have to be on your tip toes and she's got you know that never really works but you know the hands on the hands on the wall and and she's like leaning back and moaning. Usually that's in there. But, yeah, I don't think – I think the third base coach put up the stop sign. So Joey Cora, he is not Clem. That's a little shout-out to our Mets listeners.

Oh, man. That Venn diagram, the people who understand that, man, that fucking pulls out everything. But, yeah, so he's out. He does not fuck her. So I'm going to give you guys, I'll give my Klemar Maran on here. The books, I believe, are told from like a historian's angle and kind of like a smut peddler's angle. And I think the reason why you don't really know what they did is because it's from like a historical perspective, right?

So it's like they think this is based on what people saw so it's like someone might be like i saw them fucking over there and some people may say a little finger action was going on that's all they got that's why like you never hear him say air for a day and it's like they have to figure out if he actually said it and then the fucking crab feeder interesting what the fuck happened with the crab feeder right so it's like did he actually kill him did someone else kill the crab feeder he just lugged him out of the cave stuff like that so i do think we're going to get a lot of stuff where it's like we don't know what happens but you kind of have to figure out what you think happened choose your own adventure leave it up to your interpretation i don't hate that that's that

makes it for more for a week-to-week show that makes it more interesting to discuss some of these things and i don't want to send this on. What was that? They responded, coupling? Yeah, coupling. Yeah, coupling. I like that, too. Well, and that's the thing, too. You know, if you're going to think about the reality of it, like the little spy runs away, right? Imagine this.

Imagine there was a witness to you up against a wall with a chick in the middle of a fucking medieval orgy and you say no no it didn't actually happen guys we were about to but i swear i didn't we just coupled i didn't put it in we just coupled up a bit we just and they're like we saw it on doom wall the fucking kid posted in in 70s we're talking new york City in the 70s weren't people just fucking in Studio 54 back in the day I saw them so this is kind of like that's like the

Blistero Studio 54 right it wasn't the straight slums it's like if the fucking president's daughter went and fucked in Studio 54 in front of all the celebrities and everyone people would be like wait a minute holy shit what's going on here yeah the bush daughters are like yeah we now did also i don't want to send us on a whole crab feeder tangent but someone commented this on the last video and it got me thinking

if the crab feeder had grayscale didn't damon touch him and shit isn't that stuff super infectious and like yeah i heard some people say Targaryens might be immune to it, so then that's it. But I don't know that that's an idiot talking. That's not someone who knows anything about this. Let's run with it. Yeah, let's run with it. I like that.

You know what ends up happening? It's whenever they start making plays about what happened, if they make a play about Daemon and Rhaenyra fucking, that's kind of what becomes history, right? It's whatever the public runs with. That's why the whole thing, that's why the king was so upset. And I was thinking about this,

when they're watching the play, and I'm like, man, that must be fucked up to watch a play about your own life and they're being mean to you. I'm like, I would hate that. And then I'm like, oh, Milmore has a new cartoon now

where he basically just makes fun of all of us assholes. That's reality TV right there for the Thrones era. Now, what do we think about Damon's plan going into the brothel? Do you think he was just horned up, started to have sex with his niece, and then said, oh, I can't do this. This is fucked up.

Or did he have a plan from the jump? I'm going to go in here. I'm going to do this. It's going to make her feel weird. It's going to weaken her father. All of that. I for sure thought that. I think that's a

plan but i just think it's very strange that he would like have to have to guarantee he'd have to bank on a spy seeing it and relaying it like if you're if you're what if he paid the kid what's that he could have paid that kid yeah well yeah if there's more to that kid that would make it a little more like understandable to me but i definitely thought that was a play to be like i fucked her i defiled her uh yeah defiled was the word they kept using and be and be like that's why he's like just give her to me now look i already did it just like let me marry her and like my you know it all it'll all work out but also wouldn't you just follow through with it then? Is there some part of him that doesn't actually want to do it?

Because if it was like, yeah, man, I fucking went up in there, like let her marry me, why would you stop? Oh, you mean follow through the sex? Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Right? It's a good question. If you had planned to have her wed you. Why not? So maybe they did. And that's what the plan B is all about. I thought the plan B was just that they like didn't believe her.

I thought it was like a thing where she told everyone, I swear it didn't happen. And they sent it to plan B anyway. And it's like, they don't even believe me. So I think in the post uh show uh in the post show the writers were saying that they didn't have sex it was like he kind of from the jump had the idea to come in and like kind of win her to his side and then that way to like get back in good standing. But then when she starts going back and she clearly wants to do it, I think there's

a little bit of he actually has feelings for her and then it was like he no longer in the power situation. And they straight up said he was impotent at that moment. He's just going to get hard. They threw that word out there just on me. They were drinking some shit at the play. He got lost in his cup.

Whiskey dick. Every time you try and fuck your underage cousin or niece, just can't get it up. Get it up. No, but I think Raynera, like, loves the fuck out of Damon. I mean, she is googly-eyed and thinks he's the man. And, I mean, she was – it's butterflies every time she's with him. I think that he

I think he has feelings for her but I think it's a much more her to him right now but if there is I mean if she doesn't love him to clear up the kid that kid looked like he was paid to tell the hand

by Damon's like the prostitute he brought to uh dragonstone i don't see right because he was so she's no longer with him at dragonstone i think that was like a fuck you i'm going to sell you out because like you uh you told the king that i was like pregnant with your kid or some shit right she was pissed off about that so right right she mentioned that she left dragon stone so i think it was her that took the kid and like was like yeah because he yeah because he uh the little kid shows up in the little cave where he's like passed out right so that's so that is the that's actually the who was employing the spy. Yeah. Syria.

Yeah. Cause she runs the brothel that they were at. It seems like. Got it. Whoa. That all checks out. Yeah. Cause in that thing,

she said she traded in her life of being a whore or whatever, because she could run things. Yeah. And I think white worm is white worms, either the name of that woman or the broth. People are trying to figure that out. I'm looking at the chat for that one yeah unreal he was so you have to remember too like he he left to go to the stepstone so probably

during that time she was pissed at him he comes back after a while he has the narrow c new haircut feeling himself so i'm sure there was like a very ugly breakup between the two of them yeah i didn't realize that while watching it but but now that Nick says that, it all makes sense. It makes a lot more sense. The haircut makes a lot more sense after the breakup. He got upset just by it. So wait, do you think, so if the writers

are saying in their after show that he was just, he had whiskey dick, if he wasn't, do you think it goes down, or do you think that he loves her enough down like you think we're steaming i mean especially her and all my experience with whiskey dick if i didn't have it it was going down um and reyniera but it's also like if there is any feelings kind of what we were joking about but it's like if he actually does have any feelings for his fucking cousin, you probably wouldn't want to fuck her in the middle of like a brothel, you know?

Yeah. Rhaenyra has to go home and do the Targaryen walk of shame, too. That was tough. One of the earliest walk of shames we've ever seen. She walks right past Kristen Cole, her guy, of her door he's kind of like what the i've been outside her door the whole time how'd she get out and then she pulls him right in there and she's still horned up from the brothel so she goes to town on him she has to take off about 128 pieces of armor before they can get into the sex okay so let's talk about this they have a lot of

time to think about it and they still go through with it. Yo, I mean, it's like, you know, taking off all the armor, the fucking Tin Man here. My first question is, when you get hard with armor on, where does it go? Great question, Kev. Great question. You can't just do your classic waistband flip when you've got fucking armor. I don't think you can put it on either side either. Yeah, no, I think your boner is just like ding right in the front. Right in the front.

I think it makes a noise like it hits a bell like when you hit the thing at the carnival. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I feel like your actual metal kind of is like your thighs and then your stomach. But you got to have something covering your junk that I would imagine is at least some mesh or something like that. Chain mail. Oh, Kevin, my friend. You ever got a hard compression shorts? Probably the same.

I'll send it to the chat for Nick to put up here. A little thing called a codpiece. We got ourselves a codpiece here. He said compression shorts are the same as chain mail. No, no. If you get hard, it's like way down. I mean, you try to get hard in compression shorts and the same as chain mail no no like you get hard it's just like a it's like weighed down i'm i mean you try to get hard in compression shorts that shit is it ain't happening man it's still hard it's just like it's a little angled down

so they have sex they do it yeah they think about it you could see kristen cole's really like there are moments where he's legitimately like about to fuck her and then he's like should i do this bro honestly do you know how horny you gotta be to fuck a girl when the implications that are going to occur afterwards like you're not just there you go look yeah there's your boner armor yeah i mean that's not the one with one of those bad boys going out is this fucking hard stabbing me i'd retreat those guys got boners in the middle of war man i can't imagine being like horny enough to be like yeah i'll fuck this girl the air but also not and the king and the daemon and the this and then that everybody's made some bad mistakes but that is

one you're really thinking with your dick on that one i'd i'd come three times just when the armor comes off because think about like when you take your shoes off how good it feels when you get your shoes off like each piece of armor is like a shoe on your fucking body it's like oh oh and then there's just this fucking hot chick that wants to be like sorry if i had to do that i'd be a 40 year old virgin if i had to do that much work it's like it's like if i grew up in alaska i'd still be a virgin right now it's too much clothes to take off but nobody heard that either nobody was like why is there a fucking transformer in the in the princess's room what is that noise the astros dug out are in there they just heard a pitch yo have you ever at home like when your parents are home and you're trying to avoid the squeaks imagine taking off

a thousand pounds of armor stone on stone grounds and like that too everything is so amplified if you haven't heard of whatnot it is a live stream auction app where you can buy collectibles comics and really almost anything else i guarantee you go to whatnot right now the app you can find some house of the dragon slash game of thrones stuff on there right now they bring businesses and people together through commerce where sellers can host live streams and engage connoisseurs like yourselves can bid in real time.

But your daughter was fucking your brother last night.

And I don't know how to tell you that. But it went down. And the king sees through him. He kind of sends him out right away. And he's like, you're only looking out for yourself. Are you spying on my daughter just to get your heir on the throne? Get out of here. Don't tell me about who my daughter's fucking.

Awkward, awkward scene, though. And Alicent saw the whole thing, which is tough. So sends Kristen Cole after him. After her. though and alice and saw the whole thing which is tough let me send kristen cole after him like the incest in thrones you know they came in so hot in episode one with jamie bang and cersei and then i'm sure throughout the rest of the series there was some more of it here and there i don't quite remember it but it was never like it was never like it wasn't like an every episode sort of thing. And now to have it all come back again, we're like, you know, I'm always trying to put myself in the place of of the TV show and the actors and stuff. And I don't like doing that, dude.

I don't like to be like, OK, so wait. So it's the brother and the dog. No, no, no. Wait a minute. Oh, fuck. and the dog no oh no wait a minute oh fuck so uh it's it is fucked up to watch a show like this when you have a brother and kids and you know it's it's some real life shit yeah clam i see i see yours why did you have to do that kev that's what i'm saying that's what you do on the on tv it's like what would i do in that spot oh Oh my fucking God, never mind. I'm just going to kill myself.

That's why I asked you. I'm going to do it because of you. You asshole. I appreciate the casting of Rhaenyra and Alison because they're both mid-20s, I think. Imagine that actual 15-year-old you have to watch.

They do. She looks young. She is mid-20s but they don't you know they don't they don't like they make it look her scenes were shot like tastefully too i saw people moving into boston college the other day so that's freshmen at least all 18 i thought they were middle schoolers i thought it was a fucking school field trip yeah you put real 15 year olds there rather than young looking 24 year old it's a problem well at least it's an upgrade from 12 from last week so and people have also been saying the time

jump we will be thankful for and grateful for because of scenes like this they were like oh you're gonna need some older actors to be playing with what they're gonna be doing sure they did a great job hiding the nipple too i have a really good job like a really good job. I was like, are they going to show it? And then, like, a bedpost or what? It was like the thing, it's like, is it going to hit the corner? And it just never hits the corner. That's exactly what it was. Good call.

Every time it was like, oh, nope, nothing, nothing. All right, good. We're still in the clear. While we're talking about awkward sex scenes, can we just remember how awkward that Arya sex scene was in Thrones the night before Winterfell? That was just the worst. Let's not remember that. That is...

Out of everything they fucked up, I swear that might be the worst. They just shoehorned a random fucking Arya sex scene in there for no goddamn reason. I don't know if I remember that. Who did she fuck? It was like at the end when the big battle was about to go down with the Nightwalkers

and everyone was like, we're all gonna die. So know oh you got gendry she fucked gendry yeah gendry it was just so stupid uh that was the second worst sex scene first like my sister started watching game of thrones i was like all right let's finally watch one together she like gotten old enough where i was like comfortable it was the fucking episode with missandei and gray worm that was the worst oh that was it was It was the fucking episode with Missandei and Grey Worm. That was the worst. Oh, that was really weird. What the fuck is going on down there? The dickless sex was real weird.

Dickless sex was real weird. Nick, that's what it was. Kristen Cole goes to the queen or he goes to Rhaenyra, the princess, and delivers a message from the queen. So Alison confronts Rainera out by the tree about fucking Damon. She's like, how could you?

And Rainera's response was very interesting to me because it wasn't like, uh, we made a mistake. We were drunk out on the night. It was a never in a million years. I swear on my mother's memory, we would never even think about it. It's like,

well, you're fucking lying right now. Cause you wanted it more than he did. It looked like. I also, I mean, fuck this slut shaming queen. Get the fuck out of my face.

What do I, why, why, why do I have to answer to you? You know, you're fucking a zombie. Yeah. Like you're,

you're no better than me, man. You're a 16 year old with baby two on the way. Yeah. I'll fuck who I want. Thank you. You Yeah, like, you're no better than me, man. You're a 16-year-old with baby two on the way. Yeah. I'll fuck who I want. Thank you very much. Not throwing, you know, glass houses here, babe. It's like, you know, you would be on Dr. Phil already, okay?

You're the one who's real funny up here. She's the cash me outside girl. Yeah. You got plenty of money. Just kind of turn it around okay. She was like, you've been sullied. It's like, look at that fat baby you popped out for this zombie and like at one point she says you know the king has put together all these suitors and worked hard

and like and so have i and that was like her only claim to why she would actually be mad why are you what are you what are you all upset about bitch what are you jealous you're jealous i'm out here fucking in the streets like is there any chance allison has a thing for rain era oh bob fox scandalous i like that i can see that i don't think i would think no just because like if we're talking about like historically speaking at that time like lesbians didn't exist if it's medieval times right i mean they obviously existed but like it's it wasn't a thing i don't think in there i mean in the brothels in the brothels everyone was talking speaking to the crowd shout out to them uncut dicks did we see uncut dicks i missed the uncut dicks i saw i only saw one i thought there was gonna be

when i saw your tweet bob i thought there's gonna be a ton of dick tonight yeah so did i uncut dick one uncut sea snake allison stop get off the fucking your high horse with this lecture when you're fucking you have a poster behind your bed of just people fucking each other there's dicks and tits and mouths everywhere and nothing you. You know what I'm talking about? The big mural behind her bed? It looks like the goddamn brothel. There's just a bunch of shit going on, and she's fucking, like you said, she's fucking a corpse. I would love it if Rhaenyra just calls it out one day. She's like,

yo, you're fucking my dad. The guy's losing three limbs a year. I would love her to call her out of that. And he's also like a train guy. Yeah, he is. He just has a huge fucking, what do you call him? Model train set in you call him model train set in his room oh look there's the painting right there we got it on the screen if you're watching on youtube yeah that is a big orgy yeah tell it go go fucking look at your tap that's like a 69

what's 69 plus 69 or what there's a three just to be the accountant come on there's a there's like a four there's a whole used to be the accountant. Come on. There's like a four. There's a whole bunch of numbers in there. Was that medieval porn? 138. I just looked at that. Good choice. There you go. 138.

Damon stumbles in. He's clearly like disheveled. His shirt's all hanging out and everything. And he's dragged to the throne room to be brought in front of king viserys and he says better first time with me than with some whore why don't you just marry her to me he's like i think at this point she's you know i drove her off the lot i think it should be mine oh I didn't say it. Damon said it. Damon said it. You said, no, he didn't. You did. You fucked it up.

That was Damon. Oh, that is hilarious. That's creepy Uncle Damon. I bought it. I touched it. I bought it. That was the reverse of like, why buy the cow when you get the milk for free? Yep.

Yep. I get the milk for free. I'm taking the whole fucking cow with me, man. That's like when you spit on your food so no one else can eat it. Did you ever do that when you were a kid? You spit on the Doritos so no one else can eat them. I had a different image of spitting.

That is Damon's version of Colin Dibbs, you know? That's like... Now I would like to call super producer Nick Hamilton to the stand because I saw him tweeting all night rooting for this. He was like super into Rhaenyra and Daemon. I've been rooting for that just because I've been rooting

for Daemon since day one. We were all on board with the exact same relationship of Jon Snow and Daenerys. Let's not act like just because it's episode four that we weren't all cool with that. Well, nobody was 15 man is she supposed to be 15 here I thought she was like I don't know well I don't know

she's like 16 maybe wait wait wait yeah they were like this for the same age right roughly I think they were around the same age, right? Roughly? I think they were around the same age. They seemed it, at least in the show. I just think Damon's going to come out the hero in all of this. That is a great call though. I am totally people in the chat are saying she's 20 at this point. Alright, we're good. Then I'm rooting for it still. Okay.

But how old is Damon? He's always been older than her, right? Yeah, probably. Yeah, but she's 20. 20 is 20. I'm glad I cut my hair now. That honestly, I mean, that is interesting how, like, we were rooting for one version of that.

I would bet. It's the exact same. Yeah, but I would bet most people are not rooting for it the same way they were. Yeah, I just had some early tweets that I really backed him hard, and I just really dive in. I was fucking, like, going on later in the episode, all my Hado shit fucking paying off. Yeah.

Every ten minutes, I was like, fuck, wish I didn't get a Damon costume. By the way, Damon, great acting from damon he's just hung over his shit and uh and the king kicks him and he was like oh and it was just like that's that's what it sounded like if you got kicked in the stomach when you were hung over it was great casting was heavily criticized when it was made and it's another one of those things where it's kind of just like a wait and see people because that is the most perfect casting they've got on the show. Yeah. I mean, everything I've seen of like pictures and fan art and illustrations and shit, he looks – did they want – was there like somebody that they wanted, the public?

I don't know. I've seen it even in our chat. People are saying like can you believe that people were doubting Matt Smith in in this role that people didn't think he was right for it i learned the hard way when i was googling i think just to remember names like or learn basic things and all the pictures on like google images is he's like hugging her arm around her they're like bonnie and clyde and i was like all right well i think i know where this is going one way or the other um but I, yeah, I think both of them, based on what Targaryens are described as and look like and everything, this first version of them knocked it out of the park.

Wait, are we going to lose this Daemon too? No. No, he'll probably stay the same. Okay. Yeah. That would suck a lot. He's around for the show. Yeah. Awesome.

Yeah. Because he's famous too, right? Like Matt Smith wouldn't sign on for like four. Yes. He is pretty famous. I think we're only losing Rainira, Alison, uh,

maybe Lenore, um, the son of the sea snake and maybe Lena, the daughter of the sea snake. I think they're all aging up. I'm pretty sure. Right. By the way,

that was my first idea for my costume for this. We can't do baby faces, but I want to do a baby filter and just be Lena the whole time. There, there's some twisted shit too like even the game of thrones books where daenerys is like 12 years old when all this shit is going down and she's getting like sold to cal drago and it's like they had to make her older in the show because you just can't have the scenes that we saw you're right actually those first scenes with danny and drogo were fucking really tough and then basically like a bunch of rape scenes yeah and then she takes the reins and she's like you

know all female power and shit but in the beginning it was like whoa whoa all right let me tell everyone about game time the exclusive ticketing partner of forestville sports game time is a ticketing app that makes it easier than ever to score last-minute deals on tickets to sports, concerts, and shows, and they guarantee the lowest price. I went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, both with GameTime. My brother went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers

with GameTime separately. It's an amazing ticketing app. You can get WWE, AEW tickets on it. You can get Broadway tickets on it. Pretty much anything that you would be able to get on a ticketing website, GameTime provides, and they also guarantee the lowest price on it. You can get Broadway tickets on it. Pretty much anything that you would be able to get on a ticketing website, GameTime provides, and they also guarantee the lowest price on it. So how could you not want to go to GameTime for your tickets? The best part, you'll get $20 off your first purchase

if you go to the GameTime app, go to the Account tab, create a login. It truly takes two seconds. It's in the upper right-hand corner. I think it's like two or three clicks away. And then redeem the code mmb for my mom's basement for 20 off your first purchase terms apply but game time truly is one of the best sponsors we have the best ticketing app on the internet if you download it last minute tickets lowest price guaranteed let's get back into the show show. Alison suggests that Daemon admitted to having sex with Rhaenyra just to corrupt her

and sort of weaken Viserys. And as soon as she said that, I was like, all right, she's onto something because I hadn't really put that together in my mind up to that point. And Rhaenyra is brought before the king. Finally, she has to to face her father and he shows her this dagger that we've seen before. It says on it, from my blood come the prince that was promised. He will be, or his will be the song of ice and fire. This is the dagger that was made an attempt on Bran's life. It's the one that killed the Night King,

people were telling me on Twitter. It was used throughout Game of Thrones. Really cool to see it used in that way. And the king her you're gonna marry laenor valerian without protest at this point like you fucked up i could take your airship away but i'm not gonna do that i'm just gonna make you marry laenor and she points out otto hightower is only out for himself so why don't you do your job and then i'll do mine she's's like, I'll do it. You do your fucking job. Yeah. I mean, like open your fucking eyes, dude. You know, like to need, like Otto is not even, he out of all the like puppet masters and all that shit.

Like he, I think he's like the worst one who somehow has been getting away with it. All the other ones are like super sneaky and, you know, you're like, oh shit, he really hid that well. I think Otto fucking stinks and the fact that the king is just getting wise to him, I think shows how much Viserys sucks. I can't stand that dude. I want him to just die. He showed some balls though in the final scene. He calls

a meeting with Otto. He brings Otto in and he realizes like everything has been calculated to get his bloodline on the throne. And he says, your judgment has been compromised. And I'm like, take that fucking pin off of him.

Take that pin off of him. And he snatches that pin off of him, fires him. And I'm like, finally fucking King Viserys grew a little bit of balls and he's probably going to die in the next episode. Can you imagine not realizing that he's calculated the first time a child knocks on your bedroom door like he's been you know like you and your wife

is talking like him like every suggestion she makes you're like you know what that's fucked up otto said the same thing before yo uh we need like a dj khaled house of dragons congratulations you played yourself crossover auto auto just a bridge too far man god he fucking realized it and then in basically the final scene of the episode a meister comes and delivers plan bt to reynira crazy plan b I mean, that was another one. She's like, what is this tea? For any of the consequences of your actions. The consequences have to be pretty

dire, too, when it's like, if it's brewed improperly, it might not work, or you might die. Yeah, I was thinking poison first. I didn't know what it was going to be. I was thinking sus stuff right away, because the Meister, we thought, were they involved in the death of the baby and the death of the wife somehow? Yeah. Yeah, so that can't be good.

Whatever that's going to do to your body, that's probably not an enjoyable thing to go through in medieval times, I don't think. Then if your mom died in childbirth, too, you might just say, fuck it. Let's just – we'll deal with that. The doctor medicine instead of whatever. It's coming out through my vagina. And there was a good speech. Through my vagina. I did want to mention, because the chat brought up, there is a good speech in that Viserys-Otto scene at the end of the episode

where he talks about how Otto ascended to power in five days. He's like, it took five days for you. That was awesome. Five days. Just kept saying that. That was really, really good. He's like, it took five days for you. That was awesome. Five days. Just kept saying that. That was really, really good. Like Viserys, he's a bitch. I'm not going to go any way around it.

He's a stupid bitch. But it was a very well-acted scene. Do you guys think we'll get a hand of the king in the next... I guess it'll probably be another time jump, but I'm trying to figure out who's going to be the next hand of the king, and that person is on the top of the sus list too. I have a theory i think it's gonna be the guy from the last episode that almost looks like samuel tarly and suggested that not his son should be on the

throne but he was like no no i like i'm not out like you should yeah marry her to so-and-so and he the king kind of took like a note of like huh, he wasn't out for himself. I think he's the next hand. Harwin Strong, I think, was his name, right? Let me look at it. Yeah, he was like the leader of the laws of the high council. Yep, master of the laws. Yep, that was his name. Also, the guy who delivered the Plan B, by the way, real creepy

dude. I wouldn't trust that guy if he delivered my fucking food, let alone if he delivered Plan B to fucking kill my uterus. Although, you know, like, kill my uterus although you know like i feel like the guys who dilly dally the guys who dabble in that world are not exactly the hot guys you know like yeah you need you want you want a guy to make you an abortion soup guess what he's not going to be a looker okay he's going to be a creepy fucking old dude all right they were going to draw straws like just send the pervert any closing thoughts on the the overall episode we have some other topics we could talk about but as far as episode four goes

i thought slowest of the year obviously yeah it was. It was a bit of a slower burn. I didn't think it dragged, though. Did you feel like it was dragging? Not bad. But I actually do that because I think they've all been great. So this one I would put at the bottom, but, like, I don't think it was bad. It just wasn't. I don't know, though.

At the same time, like, I thought that the Damon and Raynera, like, love story or just, like, crush storyline was going to be dragged out and they just kind of like zeroed all 100 on that one. It was still a half hour of grooming. Yeah. It was also a lot of sex. The actual two sex scenes in the episode were long.

Let me tell you this. If we were 16 years old and doing this, this would be the best episode of the season. I love this episode. We would be doing it through crusty cameras. We'd have to scrape them off. Guys, we'll be out in five minutes.

Start the work. I got a shout out to Tommy Madden, too. He did have a tweet of the week when he said that I can't believe Viserys outlasted Queen Elizabeth, which I thought Viserys was cooking the episode, too. By the way, as you bring her up, I saw an article, and this happened a little while ago, so I might be late to the party, but if anybody else didn't see this, when Queen Elizabeth visited Comic-Con or something where there was a iron throne she could she was not allowed to sit on it and take a picture because as queen you're not allowed to sit on foreign thrones really like yo bitch it's a tv show you can fucking take the picture but she was a gangster

she's like i only sit on one throne it's fucking fucking mine, bro. Also, I do want to point out, not that it matters much to the story, but she did not go to Comic-Con, Kevin. She visited the set of Game of Thrones. The queen didn't go to Comic-Con. Come on. The cool queen. She's on the floor of Comic-Con with her walker and shit, like walking in a stormtrooper mask so people don't know who it is.

Bryan Cranston's in a Walter White costume. The queen's just out there. She'd probably be more successful like that. Brian Francis would get more recognized than the Queen at Comic-Con. That's a fact. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. You're probably all right.

I thought that was unbelievable, though. I can't sit on foreign thrones. That's fucking unbelievable, man. And another thing I wanted to bring up, I believe Clem blogged it this week. Season one of House of the Dragon takes place over 28 years. Now, that includes the flashback at the beginning

when we saw King Viserys become king and then they flash forward right away or whatever. Craziness, though. I think it was like the first scene of the entire show yeah it's like he didn't really want to be king but he kind of got thrust into that position right 28 years is a long time for one season if you said the whole show took place over 28 years i would get it one season that's a lot i also read the show starts the show starts now right no no the show starts 500 pages into the book dude everything i've ever read about him because i've never picked up one of the books because

that would be fucking insane uh like everything i've read is that he has like pages and pages of describing like every blade of grass and every cloud in the sky and it's like shut up you phony fuck let's get to the point so i guess that does not surprise me 28 years unless the flashbacks unless it's just kind of like cheap math where yeah it adds up to 28 years but we actually only talk about these like if it is actually it's going to span that many years there's just not that much you can get into you're going to be you're going to be jumping over things that i think i actually going to span that many years, there's just not that much you can get into. You're going to be jumping over things that I think I'm going to be interested to want to see. You know what I mean?

Some people in the chat are saying, we got Talking Thrones, our guy in the chat says, oh, Bob, trust me, they're doing it for a reason. And then GoPaco says it's been nine years from the first scene to where we enter, and then six since then. So we might be 15 years in right now see that's i mean that then fine then we're okay then they're doing well because i

i said 10 just now and thought i was crazy for saying 10 i was i agree like if that is the case then fine uh my my my previous point is wrong but i also think that it doesn't it has not felt like 10 years the only thing they're doing is dropping i guess it's been six you know since the real shows started and then that the nine are the ones that you know all they do is just kind of drop like references to how old somebody is or you see it was a week yeah agreed yeah agreed and so like in that case you can span 128 years if you're just going to kind of be like, okay, you know, let's just fast forward. But all they're really doing is being like, this baby is now a couple years older, or he lost a couple limbs, or, you know, whatever, where it's like, yeah, he's older now. But, yeah, this, it doesn't feel like all that many years.

So I guess in that case, it doesn't really matter, right? Next week, Becerra's going to have an have an iphone they're not gonna talk about it with all the history and stuff like that and kind of i have i'm in the trust tree right i'm in the trust tree right now yeah oh yeah i'm skipping the intro we'll see you're skipping the intro the the blood i don't know what the is going on i got to learn like back when thrones was going on i kind of knew even in the beginning. I was like, oh, Winterfell. There's the little tree I like coming up.

Oh, there's the wall. I hate that fucking place. And I kind of knew this is just blood, and I don't know all the little stories that all the little, like, things are telling. You didn't know that in the beginning, did you? No, I didn't, but it was easier to kind of digest. This is just too much for me right now. Listen, the only intro you need to be watching is Nick Hamilton. yes that's cool shout out to noon in georgia it's

only 45 minutes away from the airport up and coming neighborhood but also what i was just gonna say is that if we are in the trust tree which i think we all have agreed upon except me um i have not seen the intro yet i skip it every every time. Yeah. Wow. Today was a special case, but I don't know if I paid attention to the intro for a second. It's just like a JV version of last time. It's also just like when I started watching Thrones, skip didn't exist. Now it does. Yeah. I like it.

It puts me in the mood. It's like the opening ceremony of the Olympics every week. I'm like, all right, I'm ready for this. I can get down with that explanation. I hovered over the skip button this week if we're in the trust tree. I hovered over it, but I said no. Did you guys notice the Sour Patch Kids that were strung up on John's sigil? That was great.

What I couldn't decide, Nick, what's on the tree? Oh, is that just the tree from the show? That's the tree from the show. But it's Sandboy's tree. That's the tree from the show with your face on it. I was like, how does this have to do with me? Oh, with John's face. That's John's actual face.

Wait, that's actually my face? Yeah, I have a 3D photo scan of your face. Of course you do. John, you've got to get that sigil tattooed on you now. You've got to get that whole picture tattooed right on your face. How, you got to get that sigil tattooed on you now. You got to get that whole picture tattooed right on your face. How about that? That's fucking insane. If my mom's basement hits

50,000 subs, you got to get the tattoo. My channel hits it. You got to get it. Starting next week, Game of Stools is just Nick talking about the intro. That's just because it's more impressive than anything we talk about. It probably takes them as much time that it takes to put together an episode of Game of Thrones. By the end of the season, our intro is going to have, like, that full storyline that the Game of Thrones intro has.

Yeah. Where people are finding Easter eggs, and they're like, I think this is alluding to something in the next season of Game of Stools. The new thing is going to be, forget about, is House of the Dragon better than Lord of the Rings? Is Nick's intro better than Lord of the Rings is going to be the next. The answer is already yes. Well, Nick's intros might be getting more views than Lord of the Rings. Oh, oh. Even though Lord of the Rings is getting like millions and millions.

25 mil, yeah. Yeah, whatever, dude. All the numbers are so, like, fugazi. It's like these numbers were just cable TV, the first watch. These numbers are with streaming. These numbers are streaming plus seven days. It goes from, like, 1.8 million viewers last night to, like, 19 million viewers, like, overnight. I get it that there's all these different measurements

and you got to wait a little bit of time and they want to compare right away. But it's also like just pause for like 24 or 72 hours or whatever it is. And then tell me because everything else gets very confusing. I had people angry about my take last week saying there's no way it did better, telling me the numbers are out there.

You could just check the numbers. The numbers are from the people putting them out so like we could say the numbers for the podcast feed last week we had 25 million people listen to games i know it's surprising but we did we did i know there's only 24 000 on youtube but we had 25 million on the podcast feed guys my thing with the numbers is i actually had someone knock on my door and offer to give me a Nielsen box. And they were like, just so you know, we fixed everything. Now it includes streaming. Now it includes everything.

And I was like, I'm so hungover right now. And Hulu at the time, I don't know if they do now, it didn't offer the keep watching button. So for 24 hours, Always Sunny didn't play on my TV. 24 hours always sunny to play on my tv 24 hours straight and she was like you'll represent 15 000 people in manhattan i was like well then 15 000 people today watched 24 hours i've always done good work by you man that was that's like solid work for the cause right there i would i would definitely take the nielsen box and just make sure like every time i leave the house my favorite show is on yeah make sure that things don't get canceled if we all band together and just like put your favorite show on for 24 hours a day we'll keep this shit from getting canceled

wait so you you did you are a nielsen person no i'm not they also you get paid too how much i i can't imagine anything but i just didn't i don't have anywhere to put like a box. I just, I stream stuff. So you've got somewhere to put a box. How big is the box? How big is the check Rob? I have a question for you, Johnny, just cause I saw it. It was news this week. They said Netflix might be going away from the binge model and start doing it. The week release is kind of like Thrones.

Are you for or against it as a Netflix guy? I've been pro weekly for a long time we couldn't do this yes exactly when when house of cards first came out we were like oh this is sick and then you realize how much you miss talking about it with your friends and like this is easy to make sure we're all on the same episode rather than being like what are you watching tonight oh we're on three oh i'm on seven that's i don't think there's a i think there's a healthy blend that we can agree on. I think some shows should just be put out. I think sometimes comedies and things like that, there's not much to like debate week to week and theorize and shit.

You can release those. I like when people – I like when certain shows do like week week one you get three episodes and then we go week to week after that so you get a little bit of a binge to start i think um i think that's not that that's done for like not for the binge but for like it usually takes three episodes to get into a show sometimes yeah yeah there are some shows that do just three a week every time and that goes it goes rather quickly what should do, I think will be perfect, and it's a lot to ask of the show creators, I think do three a week and 15 episodes.

And that way you get like five weeks, you get like over a month of this sort of shit, but like a chunk every single time. I guess if it's a one-hour show, three is a lot. But I just think some sort of hybrid is is the best way to go i kind of agree with that i love the three at the start and then the weekly because that's like we can really get into it at the beginning but i love the the talk about shows like this like the boys like big shows that people like to speculate about i love the week-to-week speculation predictions tweet threads memes like john said you're all in the

same episode and the conversation just lasts longer we talked about it with stranger things like they at least split it up into two parts this year previous seasons stranger things had been talked about for the weekend that came out and then we all forgot about it yeah it was crazy yeah i mean that like just if you're a creator a writer writer, an actor, whatever, you want to keep your show in the zeitgeist for like all of the fall or all of the summer or whatever. It's just free advertising every episode. T-shirts, cosplay. Speaking of T-shirts, we get a great T-shirt. Or whatever.

No, I mean you get the Jakaris T-shirts. We got that one. We got the Thrasher one. We got them on sale right now. We got to be very careful about what we can put out there, but I think there's a couple other. Do you think that added to the chair would work for the sword? I don't know if people would like it.

I don't know if it's too niche. You got to be a hardcore nerd. But to me, that line. I even like the epic music playing that yeah we got epic music playing and we've got dragon roaring uh for the team subtitle sweatshirts go get them if you're if you're a demon targaryen fan add it to the chair with like a hand and a sword falling is fucking almost oh what if we did it What if we did it almost like the run the jewels logo, but it's like a hand dropping a sword.

Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. Uh, that might have to be getting made. I don't know. HBO will allow it, but fuck you because we're the number one after show. Fucking suck my dick, man.

Everybody make sure that you subscribe to my mom's basement and subscribe to the audio for game of stools so that you can watch it when it comes out, and then you can listen to it in the days after on Apple and on Spotify and rate and review. We'll do another merch giveaway. We'll do – John, last time we did name your – like give us the best dragon name. We still have a merch giveaway going for the house sigil. Okay.

In the reviews, if Nick wants to for the house sigil. Okay. What are they doing? In the reviews, if Nick wants to join, he could help. Yeah. Do like a house sigil for us and like a house logo or something. Okay. So like explain it right now what it should look like. Yeah. I was saying that you could do like what would our sigil be?

So like you could get creative with it make uh if you want to be like the clemgarians and whatnot uh choose like everyone individually uh and then if you want to choose words i think that house words are always really good okay so anything you can kind of create in the game of thrones realm uh put it in the reviews and leave five stars and make sure that we keep game of stools up there at the top of the charts for after shows because it's the best in all the realm absolutely we appreciate everyone for tuning in make sure you tune in next week as well live right after house of the dragon concludes in the my mom's basement youtube page and like kevin said the game of Stools podcast feed is a monster.
