There it is. Hello and welcome to House of the Dragon, Episode 7, Game of Stools Edition, presented by My Mom's Basement and Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox. With me are my co-hosts, Nick Hammey, and of course, Lady Clem over there. We do not have Lord Kevin. He is at the Stepstones actually fighting this week. He's on the Stepstones fighting the goddamn mets right now as i am watching them in the basin with papa clem so there's a lot of stuff going through my head including a goddamn chaotic episode we just watched fellas did you just say you're in the

basement with your dad right now yep and he sees you dressed up like that this is just another day for him this is this is just what he he's he's getting used to this i love it what did we think of uh this week's house of the dragon episode i thought it started slow it was very dark as i kind of made fun of with my intro there but once shit hit the fan and shit did hit the fan yeah it got pretty good yeah what the dark in the episode obviously like we're all worried it's going to be like the battle with the Night King. I think they only did that just to kind of like, that's something that CGI artists do so they could kind of do a little bit less. And it still looks fucking great, even though that dragon looked awesome.

But yeah, once that kid started going for the dragon, it was just 10 out of 10 from there. Yeah, the entire episode changed. The vibes changed. The mood changed. Everything changed as soon as that happened. And I mean, we're getting blood. We're getting eyes cut.

There's dragons. It was, it was awesome. That last second half of that episode was awesome. And Bob, I'm happy you came in with the, again, if you guys are watching on YouTube,

you guys get the whole fucking experience here, Bob. I thought I was like, are we the lights on? Cause we were watching the Mets too. We were throwing the Mets in the dark. And I'm like, is it just cause the lights run? Cause I can't see a damn thing right now. So I guess it wasn't just me. You know, this is a little battle of Winterfell vibes tonight, huh? Totally, total battle, battle of Winterfell vibes. I had to turn all the lights in my apartment out just

to watch that episode. And I, you know, it eventually cleared up towards the end. We started getting candles and torches and shit, but i was surprised they went back to back with that with the last season of game of thrones and the first season house of the dragon after how much shit they got for basically the title winterfell i was very surprised by that they when that was happening i was like they must know that they've got something great in the chamber here because you know twitter is just gonna blow up with that that's all it's going to be and if you don't land it it's just going to immediately be like oh we're back to this bullshit again everyone thinks it's going to like end up being trash this week's edition of game of stools is brought to you by 3g you don't need to live in

It begins with Lady Lena's funeral at sea. You get to see how the Valerians do their funerals here.

Very beautiful ceremony. They send the body out to sea. Otto is shown with the pin. Once again, the hand of the kingpin. So you know he's back in the mix as we all expected last week and then we get a couple little shots of like what's going on at the funeral from all different family perspectives uh agon and amon are talking about their creepy sister who fucking loves spiders which if you know me you know i'm not a spider guy so as soon as i

saw that i was like jesus what a start to this episode agon later gets drunk you see him drinking a ton and that sort of becomes important later and kristen cole points out that laris strong just won't stop staring at alice he is the new lord of harrenhal so they're like he's got power too and someone tweeted me this last week and i just wanted to point it out laris is randall from holy shit that's right there and and in this scene especially where he's just creepily staring on it's like come on dude we know you're working with the king but you could be a little less creepy about it he was staring at her the way that kristen cole was staring at during the wedding like just yeah locked in but it wasn't like i want to fuck you it's like who

do you want me to kill what do you want like i'll get whatever you want he's looking at i'll get you and i he's looking to cross more family members off the list he's like i'm gonna kill my cousin that i you know i had a bad thanksgiving with back in the day he's ready to kill everyone in harrenhal by the way club clubfoot we are rock rocking harrenhal right now it is 24 7 but how about damon just laughing at a funeral total Total Damon move. That was tough. Yeah, he laughed. Was that because, was it when they, like, pointed out, like, our bloodline is strong and pure?

Yeah. And kind of looked at her kids and was like, that's awkward. Yeah. I will say, though, like, there's always something at a funeral that just unintentionally makes you laugh. Where it's like, whether it's, like, with your family or something, it's like, fuck that guy just say? Like, there's always something weird the priest says where it's like whether it's like with your family or something that's like fuck that guy just say like there's always something weird the priest says where it's like yeah it's like did you know our buddy like that that's not the case at all yeah you you don't realize what family you're doing a funeral for right now yeah but then even across the whole thing like that was when agon started kind of is that when he was talking shit about the bloodline too or he was just like bored there kind of he is that when he was talking shit about the bloodline too?

Or he was just like bored there. He's a real shithead. And it makes me feel bad that people say, you know, I look like him, especially after last week, I popped the glasses off. People are like,

Oh my God, you look just like a gun. And I'm like, Oh, the guy with the most punchable face in the show. That's a shithead. The good news is I think he's gone next week we're getting another time the kids are growing up we saw that in the little time jump thing when this will be the last time with the kids part of me

feels like oh damn but like we're we just got to see him but them as teenagers they're really going to get into that like the grassy one tree hill feud shit yeah you know maybe high quality but kids in high school are ruthless i i how about all those dragons just coming up at the top of the castle that made it move like during the funeral scene i was like oh shit we have a lot of dragons and we're only gonna get more i think as the years go on i'm very excited about that yeah i think there were what five in that shot and i was trying to count after. I think there's seven in play right now. There might be more.

I'm not sure. But I was trying to, like, do the sides of my head. I was like, I think this side has four, this side has three. But then, like, there's some people undecided right now. It's fucking awesome. If we get all these. Some undressed free agent dragons. Yeah, yeah. Chat says we have eight eight dragons so far according

to the high count yeah shout out to the chat thank you to everyone in the chat right now we got 1300 of you watching live make sure you like the video while you're in here it helps us out um and also at the funeral reynier his son she tells him to go over and you know provide some comfort words of sympathy for damon's kids goes over there the other son doesn't want to be lord of driftmark he's like that means everyone dies if i'm the lord which is a relatable little king little kid thing to do little king i said he you know could be a little kid maybe um and lanor just standing waist deep in the water just staring out to the sea i get that he's upset that his sister died but this was a scene like out of uh what's that movie dinner for schmucks did you's that movie dinner for schmucks

did you guys ever see dinner for schmucks the steve carell movie i never saw that there's a scene where he's he's a real awkward guy and he gets so sad that he just walks out like shin deep into a lake and they're like oh dude like get out of the lake you're gonna stare at it but that's what it reminded me of kind of made me laugh i will say that is like i know that guy's depressed you want to go just getting fucking pants deep just hang out in water that's like you had nothing you're like i don't know what else to do that's someone who had to take a piss and they just went in the ocean to take a piss we've all been there before we do it with the kids sometimes the kids just like oh we could be in the ocean yeah let's rock and roll lord corliss makes his his lover go down and get him carl with a cue

he's like go retrieve your fucking guy right now. King Viserys offers Daemon to return to Kig's Landing. Daemon turns it down. He's not interested. He's kind of like, eh, let's not talk right now. And then he calls Alice and Emma on his way up. He's like, oh, what's up, Emma? And nobody even really says anything.

They just let him go to bed. They're like, oh, Jesus fucking Christ. Otto drags the one kid to bed because he's drunk. Aegon. And the whole scene, like we said in the beginning, was dark. He roughed up that kid, too. I'm re-watching Game of Thrones, and there's the scene where

Tyrion is roughing up Joffrey, and they bring that up when he's going to trial. If people knew he kicked him and ripped him up, it'd be like, that's the prince, dude. We're going to fuck you up. But, I mean, he's getting a to trial if if people knew he like kicked him and like ripped him up it'd be like that's the prince dude we're gonna fuck you up but i mean he's getting a free pass on goddamn everything otto really does get a free pass on everything especially while the king is in this sickly state where he's got what i would describe as homer simpson hair you know how homer simpson's just got the two strands that go up and down he's got the long – if Homer really grew it out for a while,

he's just got a couple strands here and there, like the Crypt Keeper. Yeah. He's surviving though. Like that's the thing about him. The motherfucker is surviving. At this point, I think he's making it to the end of the season. It has to be at this point. Are we not going to get like – we're definitely not getting the war at least between them until maybe a battle in the last episode.

But his death is going to kick off the whole war. And it's just like, so now I thought we'd be getting more in the second half. It seems like that's going to be maybe season two. But I am shocked he has been lingering on as long as he has. I can't believe it. I thought we lost him, I think, two times this episode, at the very least, if not three. I thought when he messed up on the name, like,

he's going to die in his sleep. And then at some point when, like, it started getting a little, like, too heated in the, you know, we'll talk about later, I was like, King's not going to make it. He's going to have a heart attack or something. He might get fucking stabbed by his own wife. I didn't know what was going to happen next. Oh, yeah.

In that hall when everybody's, like, screaming, I thought, I thought, oh, they're was going to happen next. Oh, yeah. In that hall when everybody's screaming, I thought they're just going to give him a heart attack here. He's going to drop later when he's in the carriage. I'm like, that's really bumpy. He's going to hit his head wrong, just go down. The carriage, I thought too. He had a blanket on. He looked like such an old person in a nursing home. I was like, oh,

Jesus Christ. His wife tries to apologize. He's like, don't even talk to me right now. I can't even talk. Just let me fucking die. Corliss and his wife tries to apologize he's like don't even talk to me right now i can't even talk just let me fucking die uh corliss and his wife discuss laina's death the wife is like is this the gods punishing us for having such a pursuit of the throne the lord corliss is kind of like it's the pursuit of legacy that is what we live for blah blah very thronesy talk here and he says that lane or she says that lane his kids should get the birthright over lane ors and they discuss once again we don't believe these kids are really his so they're not our you know pure bloodline maybe give it to the kids that are

pure bloodline very awkward but it's something that's got to be said i guess when the kids are running around with black hair i kind of like Corliss's response of like, yeah, but like, let's talk about the grand scheme of things. As long as my name's out there, it's cool. Like I kind of like that response where he's like, are we going to start a whole nother fight with a bunch of people in the King about this? I swear to God, I am so just mad.

How could, how could later just not get a fluffer, fluff them up, throw it in. Like at one point you just keep doing that over and over. You gotta have a kid one of the times, right? Like there's no way. They said they tried a few times, but how many times did you honestly try? It didn't sound like a ton. It sounded like three or four. Yeah. You know what they said? She used her words very carefully. She said like, it wasn't exciting it

wasn't fun is that more stuff for he couldn't get it up because he's into the other side like they were trying to slip a cold cut into a credit card slot that's what that's i've never heard that one before that one i i think that was the case it seemed like uh but again we've seen it in thrones many times where they're just like well i'm just bringing a dude in here and then at the end like the old switcheroo yeah the switcheroo yeah that was the marjorie playbook 101 and i'm like why didn't they do this even though it was before marjorie like this shit's been going on for years you're telling me this is the first time we had a gay prince and a straight princess who couldn't figure out a way to make it done. And come on, man.

Again, black guy, white hair, white guy, brown hair. There's going to the kids are not going to look the same. It's just that's tough genes, though. It's like you couldn't just look like the mom. If everyone looked like the mom, it would have been fine. But they caught a bad break there. Yeah. Rainier and Damon then take a long walk on the beach, on the dark beach. Rainier talks about her frustrations with Flaynor, him not being able to get it up, him not being able to have kids with her. And she says, hey, why did you abandon me when I was a kid? Like, I get that I was just a kid, but like, you were only a small kid. I didn't know what to do. Blah, blah, blah.

And then before you know it, they kiss and then they fuck. Right on the beach. Sex on the beach in Game of Thrones. Which just seems uncomfortable, if I'm being honest. Never done it. It's so uncomfortable. It seems like it is in this Westeros world. And you're going to mix in, you know, sand in the crevices.

Those are two people that went in the ocean just like Laenor was earlier. You gotta go in the ocean, let that thing soak for a little bit. But everyone got to soak in there for a little bit to clean out. Like, there's sanitary products, too. You go in and take a shower, it's not getting the job done. Is there even hot water in Westeros? No.

How would they make it? Yeah, they heat up the water over fire and then pour it on themselves? Dragon showers. Yeah, yeah have vagar go off like 100 yards out heat up the water make it tolerable oh that would be a baller move that's that's the stew finer when he says like i have my pool heated to 88 degrees like that's what the king is like yeah i have my lake heated by the dragon the but or just like fire right like I have my lake heated by the dragon. The,

but, or just like fire, right? Like they have fire. So it's like, you have to figure out a way to have fire and then run water through it. At some point I'm thinking, well, Daenerys,

I think in the, right. Yeah. In the castles. I think they have it. I like the high council is like, you fucking morons. George talked about this for 18 pages of how they make hot baths.

So like, I can see George Warren doing a complete, like uh breakdown on how they did baths in west gross made them hot but i'm sure he just heated up over a fire dump it in let it cool down enough i think everyone shares that bath water that's the gross shit about it but yeah that's the phrase like throwing the baby out with the bath water is because like the oldest person used to bathe for i don't know why i know this uh oldest person used to bathe for, I don't know why I know this oldest person used to bathe first and then it went down the household and then the bathwater would get so dark. There was the risk of throwing the baby out because like,

you couldn't see the baby in it. Look at that little fun fact. I don't know why I know that probably some other HBO show. Honestly, I think if i'm the baby i'd rather just get thrown out than like live in everyone else's dirty bath water like you're dirtier after the bath than before it amand is uh sneaking around by vagar and i didn't know what he was sneaking around towards first i was like is he gonna go catch them having sex and they're gonna get reported on yet again every time they go to have sex, a kid sees it happening.

But no, he walks right up to that dragon. We see the little climbing rope to get up on the dragon. I thought that was cool. He climbs up and just rides it away. And then he walks on into the castle all cocky. Lena's kids see this happen, walks up to them all cocky. He's like, my dragon now, bitches. What you going to do?

What you going to do when I come for you? They into a big fight he calls them a bastard the the uh rainier kids they start beating the shit out of him like the printer from office space they're just die motherfucker die yeah curb stomping him and then he gets up with a rock goes to kill i believe he goes to kill jace and then luke slashes them but it might be reversed but i think i got the order right the first time i think the younger one luke is the one that actually slashes him in the eye gives him the all kylo ren anakin skywalker type scar but he actually takes the eye out with it where those two got to keep the eye at this guy's eye toast seeast. See ya. Go on. So I was trying to figure – he got, like, dragon blood in him.

Like, I think, like, pre-dragon Aemon doesn't pull that move. Once he got the dragon, though, he just turned into a different beast. I think once you ride a dragon, you turn into a different person, right? So the fact he just came out, I didn't see that coming from him at all. At all. I mean, he was the kid that got bullied in high school, that came back jacked, and then, like, didn't have any sympathy for anyone else.

He just started fucking swinging on everyone. Was like, oh, don't worry, honey, you'll get a pig. That was, like, immediately attacked the women. Like, what a piece of shit, that kid. Someone says he has Draco Malfoy vibes in the chat. Definitely. I think that's a good call. Not only the hair,

but the attitude itself. How many GTA stars do you think you get for stealing a dragon? Does that automatically go to full GTA stars? A dead woman's dragon at that? A dead woman's dragon. That's a fucking line too far. A royal dragon, essentially. That's five. That's absolutely immediately five.

You need helicopters. You need the planes. You're not beating that dragon without the full force. that's five that's absolutely immediately five because you need five you need a helicopters you need the planes you need everything you're not you're not beating that dragon without the full force all of the kids start fighting when they go inside pointing fingers he did it first he started he called me names amen lost night we see amens getting his stitches and everything his face looks gross his eye looks like it's going to be infected it looks like it's going to have crust in it tomorrow morning when he wakes up just disgusting and rainera brings up right away i think that's the first time it's like really talked about flat out in front of everybody where she's like he questioned the legitimacy of the throne basically because she questioned my kids and whatnot the king asked who spoke these lies he looks at allison for a while and then he says it was agon

his older brother of course the older brother giving him the the bad information or whatever the the bad things to say and agon says everyone knows just look at the fucking kids it's like oh my god like you can't say that in front of the gang in front of everybody allison literally then requests an eye for an eye in a in a crazy moment that made me go oh shit out loud she goes i i want the eye of one of her children as well and you know what he could pick whatever eye it is he didn't afford my son that opportunity but he could that was that was wild like my compromise he could pick the eye like yeah which go like this see which one's his dominant one we'll take the other while the king shuts it down.

He's like, are you fucking crazy? One, I'm too old for this shit, too. Is it that Ben Affleck meme where he's like blowing the smoke out? Like, Jesus Christ, this fucking family. I try to put on a dinner for him. And he says anyone that questions the throne will have their tongue cut out. And she grabs the fucking knife, the the knife the one we all talk about and she goes for the kid herself she gets into it with reyniera they scream they argue they fight

and then she winds up slicing reyniera's arm which we see it's a pretty serious cut later on when she gets it stitched up and uh amand comes up and he goes might have lost an eye but i gained a dragon motherfuckers dude what a line and honestly truest thing ever uttered in the history of thrones I think Otto says it later like it's worth a thousand eyes basically a thousand times over he won that

would you cut your eye out right now to have a dragon you'd have to go through the pain of it and all that kind of stuff not ever get it back but you have a dragon yeah I'd do it especially for a Vhagar too and now let's take into account last week kind of stuff not ever get it back but you have a dragon yeah i'd do it yeah yeah probably especially for a vagar too and now let's take into account last week this is a kid who's getting made fun of right he's like oh look you got a pig as yours like oh you'll never have a dragon so he's already

down in the dumps yeah take my eye i'll still have one and i've got a dragon dracarys that shit all over the place i did think in this moment when whenhaenyra got her arms slashed like that, I was like, this is Thrones. Like, are we going to fucking lose Rhaenyra right now? There was that little bit of, like, second-guessing, like, the Thrones of it all. I still have Ned Stark, just drama, where I'm just like – I'm like – There's a whole generation that grew up with Ned Stark disease Yeah, and I'm just like waiting, I'm like

because that kind of cut can really fuck you up and I'm just like, what if that's just it for her, but getting the tease which they're not going to give us until at least the season finale of Damon versus Chris and Cole

just getting them to square, like it showed them kind of going towards each other. And I'm like, just give us that. I want the rematch. I don't love like his team. Damon still. So I fucking die.

You guys still team Damon. Yeah. For life, Bob, your team, Damon, your team, Damon for life.

It's like the fucking Mets. They're going to break your heart. They just fucking lost five minutes ago. I'm riding with them until the fucking wheels fall off and the entire wagon is on fire, which it's on fire right now. Damon wagon, not so much on fire, but it's going to be on fire again. That was to make a wrestling reference for old school wrestling fans especially. Before Hulk Hogan and the ultimate warrior faced off at WrestleMania. They just had a showdown in the Royal rumble where they cleared the ring and it

was just those two left in the ring. They had a stare down and everyone got on their feet and went, Holy shit, these two Titans are going to collide. That's what this moment was. That's like, we're setting it up for the future. This is going to be an awesome fight. This is going to be an awesome rivalry.

And I think in the after the episode thing might have been the actress who plays Rayneira said it felt like in this scene, the lines were clearly drawn for the first time where it's like Team Allison, Team Rayneira.

Which side do you guys fall on after all of this i'm still team reynera there was the shot at the end of it where everyone's lined up like corliss we got the sea snake on reynera's side we got that whole family on this same side versus like the high towers and everyone and chris and cole fuck off uh i like our team side we have more dragons they kind of got the biggest one that's by a lot by like double or triple that that's how they evened out the teams right before they split everything up you know yeah and so it's a little even in the dragon aspect but we also have the full navy although again we've seen dragons just obliterate fucking naviesies. But that was definitely the first, like, it's this team and that team. That, like, back-and-forth shot they did. And I'm very happy that we got Corliss and the queen that never was.

Raniers? Raniers? Yeah. Clem, are you still team Rainier? Oh, yeah. I did not want to be Allison tonight, for the record. I told my wife. I can make you a very good-looking Allison.

And at that point the Mets were just slowly gutting I said sure do whatever honey like yeah as we go on this episode Clem is slowly disintegrating like the king after that Mets loss yeah I'm just getting a lot of Frank was right for a guy who just complained about 100 win team yeah I got the weirdos coming at me right now the trolls um I don't get it like i'm a cubs fan and i don't get what what's going on with your fan base put it in throne terms for us somebody that's a good question i do feel like there is like a targaryen and like maybe high tower thing where it's like we're doing pretty good it's just the other team is doing really well but they

they definitely shit the bed this weekend so however you want to put the heights you feel like do you feel like dam like Damon going to war right now and your brother Frank sent a note like, hey, I'm going to help you out, and you're like, fuck you, dude. Is that how you feel? Frank is not my brother anymore. He had a bet that he would not bitch on Twitter.

If he did, he would wear a Braves hat for the rest of the season. He did not wear his Braves hat today, so he is no longer a nothing to me. He is out of the circle of trust, out of the circle of trust out of the circle of friends and i've have i not been the biggest frank to tank rider other than met season i this goes way back i used to blog frank all the time give him his shout outs every thanksgiving i go on frank's show we have our family thing hashtag done with frank because of uh not going

on the show just because of giving nope just because of the bet if i'm a bet guy i'm a principal guy who's who's the most principal guy in the show would you say Who is like the guy who is like I think it's Viserys as crazy as it sounds He's trying to keep this whole realm in order Oh by the way In a way it might be Otto to be honest Because at least Viserys is like I'm putting a girl on the throne

Otto's like a woman Oh my god I'm going back to team Otto now Is this where you've been Have I been Otto the whole time How many Grand Theft Auto stars do you get For slicing the king's daughter Oh my God, I'm going back to Team Otto now? Is this where you're going to be? Have I been Otto the whole time? How many Grand Theft Auto stars do you get for slicing the king's daughter? Like slicing her hand up. I feel like that's like just as much as you would get for it.

There's a bunch of five stars this episode. There was so much reckless shit that happened this episode, and all we lost was an eye for it. By the way, Nick, he gives us the idioms in the history of everything. i for an eye start from like a legitimate king who took an eye for an eye is it like the uh king solomon but except for eyes that's the code of hammurabi it's like old uh i don't i don't think it's mesopotamia i forget what it is but it's like it's like the first set of laws that ever was this guy went to college yeah i failed failed out of it twice. You went though. Went.

Go to Hammurabi. It always gets some eyes to an eye for an eye. Hammurabi? Like Nick Hamm and Robbie? Yeah. There we go. Not bad. Not bad. Amon throwing

his brother under the bus. He's like, I heard it from Aegon. I heard it from Aegon. And then the king's like, now where did you hear from? And Aegon throwing his brother under the bus. Like, I heard it from Aegon. I heard it from Aegon. And then the king's like, now where did you hear from? And Aegon's just like, shit. And we were all on the same page. We're like, say your mom said it. Say your mom said it. We all wanted it, but he just didn't have the balls to do it.

As a middle brother, I would have 100% done that. Because, like, I'm going to tell dad that mom told me something, and clearly he's mad. I'm like, he's he likes the firstborn a lot i think i think he'll get through this like yeah if you blame it on a kid it's not like we have to cut off someone's head although i do think any other time they'd be sending allison to like trial yeah like because we're living in two different worlds we lived in the we had the thrones world where it was like ned stark got his head chopped off for even thinking that Joffrey was a bastard, right?

And then in this world, we have people getting eyes sliced out. I don't even like – what is Rhaenyra technically? She's like the princess but the heir to be, I guess. She is the heir, yeah. So I guess the High Council or if you guys know, who's higher in like the air. Yeah. So, so I guess the high council, or if you guys know who's higher in like the org chart is the queen higher now, but then she's higher when the King dies.

Yeah. I don't know. I guess. So they're in a weird, like a limbo mode right now. Right. Because it's like, they're all waiting around for the King to kick the bucket.

She might still be higher at this point because even like when Cersei was queen, she wasn't anything like she, she wielded power, but like never directly. She couldn't do it. She could make people do it. And then like,

even when she was in queen region steps. So I think we're near would still technically be higher than her and more important, but I not sure. Cause even like the the when the queen Tries to make Kristen Cole go get the eye for her She's like you swore To me not him or whatever but the king

Still says no and he still listens to the king Wild The fact he sliced the king's daughter who's Also like the next in line for the throne Up and didn't get arrested or killed That kind of tells me how much power she's Wielding right so it's like no matter what by the way knife in the middle of the room reynera allison running towards the night who do you have winning in a fight to the death uh right here right near

that's exactly what i was gonna say yeah yeah when she walked back with that blood in her hair and was just like i'm down but in the next scene we also get otto going to alice and being like whoa i never saw that side of you she's like i feel like a disgrace i feel like i'm embarrassed i can't hold my position now he's like no no i saw some fight out of you that i've never seen before that was good like i saw that in this weird game of thrones you're actually willing to win so i think there is a a side to be argued for alicent that even if she's not going to win that right now against rainier she might grow into a cold blooded killer imagine having to like stab somebody to get your father's approval that's a

lot she's like oh my god i'm so sorry i freaked out like i've never done that and he's like no no that was good that was sick she's gonna like, guess what I got Laris to do last week? It was fucking crazy. That should be his son. The clubfoot should be his adoptive. You were the greatest. You burned your dad and your brother alive just to make the queen happy.

Again, I don't know. Am I the only one in clubfoot right now or are we kind of all doing this? I don't know. Am I the only one in club foot right now, or are we kind of all doing – I don't think I'm it. Lord of Harrenhal. That's a big fucking title. It usually comes with a lot of bad shit happening to you in the future. I was going to say Harrenhal is famously, like, cursed.

Everybody that lives there dies. Yeah, so not great. I feel like the – but it feels like it's like a Mets thing where it's like everything's fine, and then, like, the guy dies in his bed of a heart attack at the age of 90. It's like curse a hair and all. It's like, all right, like, it is what it is at this point. But I don't know.

We'll see what happens with the club foot. I feel like the club foot also, he's from, like – he's such, like, a little worm. It's like two negatives make a positive. He might be perfect for that curse where it bounces off him. He's like immune to the curse. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah. Could be. Yeah. Yeah. Rainier gets stitched up. And in this moment, I think the funniest moment of the episode happens when Lenore walks in from a night out with the boys or whatever.

And it just has no idea what happened the night before. There's no texts. There's no posts on social media. He's not reading the Westeros daily times where he sees oh my god the princess got sliced open the friggin one of the princes doesn't have an eye anymore he walks in and i posted the donald glover community gift where he's walking in with the pizzas to the fire it was just he had no idea he could just sense the energy always one son has a broken nose sitting there he's like uh did i miss something yeah a lot of blood in this room right now why don't you sit down you missed

a lot they show her getting the stitches like really detailed you know the needle going through the skin and all right thrones we get it and she she tells him you haven't been around for me he says i'll recommit myself to the marriage and she she's kind of like, eh, that's not what I wanted. Yeah. She's like, I got a different plan. She was like, this was a divorce. You don't understand. Yeah.

It's like, we, we drew the line. Like we're, we're calling it. Our boy Damon did love all that tea being, is it, do the kids still talk about tea? Cause when they're all the little snipers, he just had the biggest shit at it shit eating grin on his face the entire time tough look for like tough look for uh lane or just coming in the room as his wife's like basically finished getting stitched up it's like not even like fresh it's like they're basically wrapping it up the kids have been there for hours you can tell the entire family's legitimacy was just questioned in front of everybody and the guy just was he banging like what what are we saying he was you just doing lanor things basically

i would probably bang carl yeah he was off with carl with a q for sure yeah yeah you have to quantify a carl with a q that you gotta every time they say his name i'm like make sure you say it's with a q like it's so bizarre it's they're just way to make it it's like i'm running out of game of thrones names just start switching out letters like toss a cue on that one we cut to allison and the sick king in a little carriage and he looks real sick like sicker than he ever has been probably in this moment and she's like i'm sorry for everything that happened he says don't even talk to me don't speak of it anymore and then they head back on a ship where Laris comes up to her. And he's like, you want that fucking eye?

I'll get you that eye. You want that eye? I'm your guy. You come to me for the eye. She's like, I don't need the eye right now, but thanks. She's like, and maybe be a little more, you know, have a little more discretion when you're staring at me like a creep. That's I tweeted the gift from a big Lebowski.

You want a toe? I can get your toe. I can get your toe by two o'clock. Great call. Great call. I feel like I've heard some sort of proposition like that before. It's definitely subject. It was that it was, it was so, it was almost exactly like that where I'm wondering if the writers are like, let's see if anyone catches this right now. You know what we're doing to Robbie. we're doing it again we're gonna just

let it be known george rr martin confirms that the big lebowski was the big lebowski was his inspiration for clubfoot which i like this comment too it says laris like rocket raccoon he's just getting on i'm gonna get my hand in that. Rayneira says that she needs Damon. She proposes that they get married in this moment. She's like, let's unite the bloodlines and everything. He's like, for that to happen, Laenor needs to die. She's like, oh, I know, motherfucker.

Let's figure this out. So he goes down to Carl with a cue. He pays him to kill Laenor. And immediately I'm like, why would he go to this guy? Of all people, he goes to the one person that q he pays him to kill lanor and immediately i'm like why would why would he go to this guy of all people he goes to the one person that actually cares about him kind of a weird move by damon if we're being honest um but then they go off and they kill him and throw his body into the fire burned up his parents are crying over his body right near it and damon marry in a tiny little ceremony and then we see to end the episode that it was a fake death

Carl with a Q and Lenore went shaved his head got on a boat and got out of there which is a very good ending to the episode a big like oh fuck that wasn't him his body in the fire and everything apparently this is also not part of the books they went off

oh really and they're really show on this awesome I love that Apparently, this is also not part of the books. They went off. Oh, really? Really? Awesome. I love that. I've heard recently that they have made a lot of departures from the books, which excites me because, like, one, when I started watching this, I didn't realize it already was a book series. I thought it was completely original, and I was kind of excited about that because things can't get ruined. And so I've been, like, treading online a lot trying to avoid like spoilers and stuff like i already knew the kid lost an eye and shit like that where it's like it just because like a photo will pop up when i google it uh but that making that departure is awesome i was very curious why this sarah or um damon just

snapped that dude's neck and then once I saw his body I was like oh well that makes sense all right then he did so was he in on them escaping and going free yeah yeah okay that's where I was going back and forth the whole time I'm like did they just say like fuck I'm gonna take Damon's money and we're going to go live our life? Or was Damon in on that? He snapped the neck, threw him in the fire. Yeah, it seems like I think he was in on the whole thing where because I mean, you know, he has some love for Waynor because of Wayna. Like they've been together. He wasn't just going to be like.

And I like that better because that makes me more like Team Raynera. Because if Damon wasn't in on it, it it's like how are they better than allison going and killing you know all of that yeah but i feel like they are better because of this that poor son of a bitch somebody down the stairs like that sucks for him somebody but you know i didn't know his name so i don't feel as bad i was so goddamn confused about why damon i'm like that's just damon being damon loose cannon baby team damon i'll rob like damon You don't even got to tell me why I killed him. I'm going to roll with you. Whatever the reason this makes perfect sense. Now, however, I was happy. I was like, happy for later. I'm like, Oh, like he survived. That's nice. He seems like a nice guy. Right.

And then I'm like, fuck, this could be a problem though. If he comes back and he's pissed, I didn't realize that Damon was in on it with Carl with a cue. And I'm like, if he comes back and it's like, this guy tried to kill me, that takes care of our entire alliance with Corliss and company. So I guess. So he dies in the books. He definitely dies in the books. Dies in the books, correct.

Yeah. Oh, really? Maybe they wanted to go that direction. He just goes off to Pentos or somewhere, and we just never see him again. That's basically best case scenario for us on Team Damon, which i believe they say it's the blacks versus the greens now is how i've been told the greens blacks and the greens and we're all team blacks yeah regardless of the dress here we're all team blacks and like uh nicky said we're counting dragons at this point we're fucking we're figuring out who's where we're doing armies we have the navy on our side

shit is about to fucking get i feel like someone has to do something to make the greens a little more appealing like what do they have other than i guess like the fact that there's bastard children that's kind of it's like it's funny it's everything we hated about the baratheons we're now like overlooking as like for they're not even part of the throne that's that's fucking that's um it's it's a kid and her uncle with some bastard kids like what we've all seen it before come on root for him like so that's another thing that i wanted to ask you guys in this episode it seemed to me like they were making us try to they were they were trying to get us to root for damon and reynera being a couple like the sex scene was

shown in a very like romantic, romantic, loving way. And then so was the marriage scene. Like, they were passionately kissing each other when they did the you may kiss the bride part. They were into that. Are you guys into this? I still think it's weird. Wait, you're talking about Damon and... Damon and Rayneera.

It's niece and uncle. It's a little weird. I'm going to have to get used to it. I get that. But, like, I'm not like, oh, I'm so happy for them. On my record is I'm rooting for this. I got over it with Danny and Jon Snow, and that was the same, like, uncle or...

Yeah, same thing, right? Yeah, same thing. So I've already, like like had to do the mental hurdles and i just went straight back to it i've been room for this i've been tweeting about this since like episode one i can't just try to walk this back because we're live right now and i also tweeted awesome with like a clapping gif when it happens so if you check my time stamps i can't walk this one back ever i am very much just pot committed to team Damon. And I have to just ride with everything that guy does. I will promise you like for,

you know, if I'm, if I'm looking to blow off some steam, the first like couple of pages of a website I might be on is going to have a lot of things that are step sister or step brother. We're still blowing past that. I do not particularly, particularly enjoy that kind of stuff.

But at the same point, like team Damon, that just comes with the fucking territory apparently. So we have to ride her me and nikki are riding or dying with everything he does just gotta we're just saying ignore that part and focus on the love yeah if team if damon comes out next weekend is like he like tries to like cancel barstool and we have to just ride with team damon like i don't really see how we get off this ship at this point we hit you know what i mean like there's really no level we can really hit now, Nick. We're fucking made a team damage. There's just a scene of him bashing to Barstool

just totally unrelated to anything else. Just like, fuck this. It's like, what the hell? There is a chance that the actor Matt Smith could somehow some way be like, fuck Barstool. And that is going to be our greatest test. If him and Portnoy go like lock horns

on line or something like that, it's going to be our greatest test. If him and Portnoy go like lock horns online, that is going to be our greatest test. Yeah, that'd be very tough. That would be, yeah. I don't know how I'd be able to walk that one back. I'd be jumping through some mental hurdles. We're on opposite sides too, in terms of you guys are like, I guess I'll go with it because I'm such a Damon guy. And I feel the opposite way where I'm like,

I guess I'll go with it because I'm such a Rainier guy. Yeah. Rainier makes team Damon. She's feel the opposite way where I'm like, I guess I'll go with it. Cause I'm such a Rainier guy. Yeah. Rainier makes team Damon. She's like the breath mint before bed though. She's like brushing your teeth. It's like, she makes everything right. It's like,

well now we got Rainier. They're, they're friends and all it's, but now they're banging. And then it gets really fun. But fucking Damon, also bit of a groomer. If we're using modern terms to relate to this show,

bit of a groomer with his activity. I was like, all right, she's into him because of the weird stuff in the brothel she's still thinking about when he couldn't get it up. Whiskey Dick Damon. Whiskey Dick Damon, yeah.

He got over it. He got over it. He better get it up. This show is also brought to you by HelloFresh. Subscribe to HelloFresh and check Save Money off your fall to-do list.

He did have kids, but not with her. So I feel like their first time in the ship, on the beach, or whatever, he was probably thinking in his

mind, like, oh shit, I better get it up. Better get it up. Better get it up. Yeah, that was a different family member he had kids with. Fuck. A lot of hurdles we got to jump with this. By the way, did you guys see that they deleted a scene where he's with his daughters and he's hugging them and stuff? The fucking lamestream media is trying to make you not like – they're trying to get you off of Team Damon.

I genuinely think they probably had to cut scenes like that because they're trying to do this where you're not sure you want to be on his side. Yeah. Like, again, like, I watched Matt Smith in Doctor Who. He's in it for, like, three seasons where, like, he does those small touching moments so much that you immediately just love him. Where it's like they can't show any of that. They have to show him, you know, Bash's first wife's head in. There's a lot. There's a lot that he's got. They never showed that, Nick. That was never seen.

It was inferred by people. She fell off her horse. He picked up a rock by trying to save her. I mean, that's probably a way to save people back then. Put it under her head. Make it comfortable like a pillow a little bit. It was for a pillow for her. He was going to try to strain her neck off.

Yeah. How did fucking Viscous or any of his doctors, maesters, meisters, whatever they're called, how did no one try to throw a leech on the kid's eye to try to save it? All I heard were leeches are the miracle drug of Westeros. They didn't put a leech on his eye. They didn't put a leech on Raynera's arm. Leeches only work for the king who's just falling apart.

But again, immortal as well. Yeah, so I think they made it last. Like they should have given them like, fuck it, let's try it. Like, anybody got a leech? Like, we got a jar of them for this guy. Just toss one on there. See what happens. Oh, and another point for our guy Damon, when he goes to Otto and he's like,

leeches keep sucking even when they're full or get fatter or something. He dropped a leech line on him. I'm like, yeah, Damon, you give it to him. There's some talk in the high council in our chat about why reynira didn't seem so upset that harwin died and i think that was on purpose because she didn't want to show that they even have the line on the beach when she's with damon she's like oh i'm so sorry and he's like don't be at least i got some more in my dead and i think that was kind of their way of showing like she's had to put on a happy face and hide it because you know that was just a guard to her and she didn't think anything else of him when in reality everyone knows what was going on there yeah reynera's gangster level just keeps

going up i mean i she definitely was like bummed about because even said how they had like their intimate moments and he was a good dude uh and even the like the kid shit was tough too he's like yeah i don't get to mourn my dad and she's like oh well that's you know not your dad or what that was fucking tough man man they got a raw deal again just because they couldn't fluff up lay it or a couple times you just gotta throw it in shoot it and then you're done i believe that's how it works i've done it twice believe it not. Someone actually did it twice with this fucking guy. I think. The first one looks like me.

The second one kind of looks like me. He's a lot more energy than either of us, though. I'm not sure about him. That's pretty much the episode, though, unless there was anything else you guys wanted to touch on or throw in. We did get a preview towards next week where it looks like the sea snake is going to be in trouble a little bit. It did look like the King is getting, you know, even more deathly and rotted. But at this point, like I said, I think he's going to make it to the end of the season. I've been saying in every episode, I don't trust him to make another minute, but now I'm like, I've gone past it. He might make it for the next four seasons. He might be the King throughout the entire show.

It's just people getting remarried having kids and like waiting for him to die for like another three seasons who do you think was the mvp of the show we'll bring back mvp tonight honestly people may not like this answer but i think it was amon he he goes and he steals the biggest dragon in westeros and then he has the coldest line of the episode too when he's like you could take my eye but i got your dragon he was a dick he was a real dick but he kicked everything off he really kicked the action in this episode off i think it was amon no amos i think that's my that's my vote too amon and like he kind of like held his own against four kids that are around his age right so he he brought a rock to a knife fight as it turned out too he lost an

eye but he won the fight he won the battle with the dragon and yeah yeah he called the kids a bastard too like it feels good when you just have something you want to say to like a friend or a family member and then you fight and he just lets it out that had to feel so fucking good it had to feel so good yeah i would definitely say him big amand as well just that really even the sides and i think he's going to be a problem in the war going forward plus he's going to look like a badass like i know with that eye patch he looks like the governor but with that targaryen yes yeah yeah so i think that's going to be very cool i forgot about the governor holy shit yeah he's gonna have When the governor was hot in the streets,

he was an all-time villain in The Walking Dead. Oh, absolutely. Man, that eyepatch is going to look badass. Was he on the next one? He was on the next one. He's older. Yeah. They're jumping these kids immediately.

He looks like 18, maybe. He's quite a bit older. Yeah, and I think they're going to be They're jumping these kids immediately. He looks like 18 maybe. He's quite a bit older. Yeah, and I think they're going to be ready for fucking war, which is so excited for. And forgive my ignorance. I don't know. They have a younger sister. I don't remember. Was the sister the one who was born

at some point? I don't remember her at all. I don't remember the sister. Was she pregnant with the sister? I don't remember. But she was the one singing, right? Playing with the spiders? Yeah. remember this but she was the one singing right and they were playing with the spiders yeah yeah so she was in the last episode she was playing with another bug like a long like cephalopod oh the long the long like caterpillar looking thing yeah yeah so she was playing with that last episode she's gonna be a witch or something that's that's what i'm thinking i think like the way she was like enchanted it sounded like she was saying like turn this spider into something she's that's what i'm thinking i think like the way she was like enchanted it sounded

like she was saying like turn this spider into something she's got like red priestess vibes melisandre or something yeah did you guys see people thought they saw melisandre and last episode no it was just one uh it was one of the handmaids of uh. She walks away, and it's a little blurry. And everybody's really like, oh, that's her. That's her. I went and looked. It's definitely not. But I'm happy people are looking for her because she's alive during this time.

Yeah. And the actress wants to come back. Of course she does because how much money would she get paid? She deleted that post pretty quick. She posted being like i want it she's like melisandre will be alive and then she deleted it pretty fast maybe i have a question for you guys if you if lady melisandre comes in your room right and we're all single in this hypothetical okay and she's to lay down and whatever. Do you get the old Damon whiskey dick if you remember what she looks like when she takes the necklace off?

Because I don't know. If I'm like, listen, you're hot. But I know if you take that necklace off, you are a thousand years old and you look like viscerous basically. I might have to get like real good scotch packing tape and just make sure that necklace stays on. Oh, mid-sex. I don't even think about that yeah that's really keep that neck like there's no chance that this could fall off because i think if if it stays on the whole time you're good i think if it falls off you'll never forget that my fear is it's a visual thing only and then it's like you're seeing young her but you're feeling older and that would i'm afraid it's like i don't know i don't know how the magic works

is all i'm saying like when stannis was banging her what was he feeling he he wasn't feeling the old one because you don't come back for that over and over again our boy gendry too right or did gendry even get it in i don't know no oh no they're not with leeches no no actually no he did get it he did get it in and then she just starts dropping leeches on him and ties him up yeah not the good leeches either not the not the medical leeches no not the immortal leech oh is that the future of westeros like it's like weed they gotta like in say a hundred years from now there are people have their medical leech carts and they go into leech dispensaries they're like give me the the upper leeches i think for tonight hey if there's if there was any kind of pill that you know can make you last
