Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Thank you. Hello and welcome to Game of Stools presents House of the Dragon. Recap number eight. It is Robbie Fox and Nick Hamilton. As you see, it's not the full crew, a skeleton crew, as they call it. We are a house divided tonight because with the Mets playoffs on and the Mets about to lose, I believe it's the bottom of the ninth inning right now, 6-0. I can't see him clamor in that misery. I got to be honest. I think it's over. I think there have beenmer in that misery. I got to be honest. I think it's over.

I think there have been two major deaths tonight. First was King Viserys. Four went out for our board. Boy, finally. That bit is going to be sticky on my floor for a month. I was going to say, you really poured one out. Respect. Yeah.

No, I had to do it. That guy hung on longer than I thought, just like the Mets, and we actually have live feed into Kevin right now, just in the misery. I think Frank is off screen currently just berating him. Oh, man. But he is not gone to watch the episode yet. Clem clearly has already left that misery. Brutal.

I've watched those guys just real quick, like the Mets talk right now. I've watched those guys become so optimistic for an entire season to watch Dave, Dan, and Frank just ruin it for him. And the end here is just brutal. That was a quick downfall. I mean, if you're not watching, if you're just listening on the podcast feed, we just did a live check-in with KFC, and it looks like King Viserys dying.

I mean, on the stream, he legitimately looks like he's going out in a slow, painful fashion. But he's going out a lot quicker because it looked like it was good for a while. I mean, King Viserys, he had eight episodes where we thought this guy was going out. We thought he was going out in the first episode. We were like, maybe they do something crazy here. No, he made it all the way to eight, almost to the penultimate episode of the season. So much respect for him for fighting through that.

Honestly, I really didn't expect him to get this far. penultimate episode of the season so much respect for him for fighting through that honestly i really didn't expect him to get this far we going back early to our first second episode we're calling it by episode five at the most he would make it through once i mean episode one they're picking at his back we finally got to see that again this episode way worse uh the whole time i was wondering i was like they gotta remove the mask right they gotta show us what's hiding under their full two-face like seeing the inside everything i i i was actually kind of like normally that stuff grossed me out i was like that's kind of cool like when they do that kind of cgi and stuff dude his eye socket looked so deep i was like what if he dropped something in there like as a guitar player you understand sometimes you drop a pick inside the acoustic guitar and you're like ah this is the worst thing you gotta shake it out

do they have to shake the king out sometimes if he drops a pick in there they got to a little bit of a bandage or something like uh we're gonna need you to flip over and just shake your head for us absolutely believable that was gross let's get into the episode though it's enough about the mets that's enough about the misery that KFC and Clem are currently in. We kick episode eight off with the news that the Sea Snake's throat has been slashed and he was thrown overboard. It's been like six years, I think, since Reynos has seen him. And he has a horrible fever. They're like, he's got his throat slashed and thrown overboard.

That's bad. But apparently the fever's worse. Yeah. And they said, what, it's going to be three days until they see him, but then they just go straight to King's Landing anyway? We don't really get an update on him, do we? No, it's kind of left in the balance, which makes it be very funny if they go through all this and he gets back and he's like,

guys, I was fucking fine. They were over-exaggerating. They were just worried about me. I've had a cold before. I could get over it. But it does seem like we're not going to see him again. Do we have a confirmed spinoff for him, or is that just rumored? I think that's confirmed. I want to say it's a younger version of him. I would imagine it's

younger. I was going to say, are they filling this in with that series, or is it just going to be a complete prequel? Yeah, I'm not sure sure but that it has been i'm pretty sure confirmed that he's getting his own but i don't know if it's this actor or if they're going to be like the entire sea snakes life yeah well his wife hasn't seen him in years and his brother wants the throne he goes up to rainis and he like, I am the only true blood relative of him. I should be in this spot. And she's like, I fucking know what you're saying. You should get your tongue cut out for that. Like, I won't hear it, basically.

She's very much on the side of, hey, I'm going to defend my husband's wishes and give the succession down to the son of Laenor, even though it may not be the son of Laenor, you know, as we know. I was actually shocked by her, like, full on board just being with her husband on this. I do love every time they're just like, Rhaenyra even confronted her and was like, you just want Driftmark for yourself. And she's like, I don't fucking

want this. There was just a council. They almost put me up, and I never said that i wanted this but everybody keeps bringing it back to oh you just want drift march it's like no like i just want what's right for my family you know what it is i think it's the nickname like the queen that never was or whatever i think everyone hears that nickname and they're like she probably she probably wants that queenship still yeah once you get a good nickname like you're not gonna change ship is that a thing queenship queenhood uh queenship sounds. Yeah. Once you get a good nickname, like you're not going to change ship. Is that a thing?

Queenship queen hood. Uh, queenship sounds right. They both, they both sound okay to be honest. Yeah. We see Damon dig up some dragon eggs, which I didn't know what he was digging up at first when he was kind of

pick accident to that. And I was like, Oh, please don't be fucking spiders crawling out of whatever this is going to be. But he digs up, I think he said three dragon eggs. We see Jace practicing his

high valerian rain era pregnant yet again and he was climbing down that mountain i was really hoping it was going to be one of the kids i was hoping one of their kids was like a little more of a badass now because they've kind of just been getting tossed around and no no there's no yeah their kids don't i mean j he has a cool moment later on. He does. Yeah, he has a Mr. Steely girl moment. That was pretty awesome.

That was great. But they have a conversation where they're like, we're going to go to King's Landing. There's going to be a petition because they get the little note and they have to go basically say, hey, this is the reason why our son should still be – I think it's Luce, right? Or Luke, Lucerius. Yeah, Lucerius. This is why he should still be the heir to Driftmark despite the wishes of the current king's brother. Wild too when that like – considering everything that's happened with them, how much they like fought for that and then it's like we gotta fucking do this again and like finding out when they go i think it was in that

conversation that they're like oh it's the king's wishes it's like we know who's ruling it now it's yeah they do mention they're like yeah okay the king's not doing shit right now the king is definitely like on his deathbed which he is we see like in just a second i mean there she's welcomed back by lord caswell which is weird right away that they're like the queen isn't welcoming us back it's been years how many years has it been since the last episode in this one do we know was the sixth year thing like typically i think whenever they drop the sixth year it's it's roughly around there because they did that every time it was like oh agon's one oh agon's three so that's kind of our rough i would guess like I think whenever they drop the sixth year, it's roughly around there because they did that every time. It was like, oh, Aegon's one.

Oh, Aegon's three. So that's kind of our rough. I would guess like six, eight probably within that time. We also we've seen Lord Caswell before. He was the first one to offer Rhaenyra help when she first had the baby. When she was walking up the stairs, he walks by she like she's like yes lord caswell i may be calling on you soon so i think he's somebody in the castle that we're gonna find out later is on our side at least area on renears um because it was very like i just re-watched those episodes

today and i was like it's a weird moment to stand out right there and then he's the first one he's like no this is this is, this is the queen, the next queen. I have to be outside for this. Like only person to show up. That's a good read. I think he will be on, on Rainier's side.

Allison is heading a meeting at the high council over what's going on here. They're kind of having like a pre-meeting. This isn't the official what's going to happen. They're just talking about what's happening, debating who the next Lord of Driftmark should be. Jason Lannister is in the meeting. I's going to happen. They're just talking about what's happening, debating who the next Lord of drift Mark should be. Jason Lannister is in the meeting. I was going to ask, is that him or his twin brother?

Oh, good. I thought it was Jason. I thought so too. Because he did say a few, like Jason's always very boisterous and arrogant. Yeah. Seems slightly reserved here,

but it is like a small council meeting. So I don't, I'm not sure. I wonder if anyone in the chat caught that, because... What is that? Oh, we did forget. We missed that part, and I wanted to bring that up.

Shout out to the High Council. Rhaenyra named her son Aegon. She did. Awesome move. Just an unbelievable move to be like, oh no, Aegon, don't worry. Aegon will be king. Like, it ain't going to be yours, though. Aegon and then one is Viserys.

Yeah. Just completely cucking Alicent. They introduced the king to him and everything. There's one guy named Eric who tells Alicent the prince has been involved in a delicate situation in his apartment. So she runs off for a second. We don't know what that means just yet. And Rier and damon this is when they visit the king yes almost dead he looks horrible he's got the bandages like i have on his face right now and she is like kind of being a nice daughter to her dad and then damon kind of slides in and he's

like listen you better fucking double down on lucifer the next in and he's like, listen, you better fucking double down on the next air. And she's like, all right, like, chill out. This guy's like, let's ease into this. But he's like, no, no, you got to do it. He starts dying. They give him the milk of the poppy, right? Or whatever. And Damon starts smelling.

He's like, this is maybe not what they're saying it is. They're giving him too many drugs. It's implied. And they address this later. They're drugging the king up and, know making their decisions typical hightower move which again yeah comes back to the hightower is going all the way back to episode one where it's like they're so tied in with the maesters it's they i do feel like we're gonna find out later that they've had a stronger hand in that the whole time i still think going back

episode one like stuff with emma was a little fishy um but yeah i definitely think they're absolutely drugged him more than he needs to be yeah and by the way the high council saying it's tylen lannister tylen is at casterly rock yeah oh that's right so that's interesting i thought it was jason but i guess not that's what happens when there's fucking twins if the show isn't confusing enough there was also a new guy there who was very pro uh it seemed like um taking away for near his kids uh air to the tides what um he looked kind of baratheon i'm hoping that that's who that is because um renees is baratheon i believe oh really she is she comes from the baratheon line yeah okay that's

that's good to know yeah so i he just looked like we haven't really seen like a strong figure of baratheon she obviously is one kind of in the background, but I, I, he, he was very close to Allison. So I think he's going to have a bigger part to play. Speaking to Allison, she goes and meets with Diana who was raped by Agon.

And Allison's nice on the surface where she gives her a hug and she's like, I believe you. It's horrible. It's not your fault. Saying all the things that you would imagine, you know, where she gives her a hug and she's like i believe you it's horrible it's not your fault saying all the things that you would imagine you know she would be kind to say in this moment and then quickly flips it on i believe you but nobody else is because you guys were the only ones in the room

so you better keep your mouth shut about this and she's like okay i'll never say a word i'm sworn to secrecy she's like well you told me you told me. You told Eric. You told so and so. This has got to be it. Gives her some money, little settlement on the side, and then gives her the plan B-T. Is that what that was? I was curious about that. I think it was the plan

B-T because they said, like, we just got to be sure. Now, it also could be like poison. I thought maybe there was a chance at the end of the episode she was just gonna be dead and that was gonna be them i was i was thinking poison or something that would like make her mute or something where it's like we'll be sure that you never talk to anybody ever again and she just it's like essentially cutting her tongue out but with poison it people are saying yes it was planned bt uh yeah that was uh i never know what to expect with that and

watching the after show the fact that they said allison leans now more into the light of the seven and everything and more of the religion it does make sense that she wouldn't just then kill a random person um but definitely got that vibe i thought they were gonna cut back to her and she was just gonna be choking out like joffrey yeah like foam coming out of her mouth or some shit i thought it was gonna be something just like terrible to see on screen and this is what this show does to me every single time i'm like i'm just waiting for like the cut back to be like someone gets stabbed. I mean, we see it a little later on. I got big Cersei vibes from Alice in this episode, kind of specifically in this scene and in the scenes where she's just like yelling at her sons like these fucking dickheads don't know what they're doing. Did you feel the same way?

Absolutely. And especially with Aegon. Like, my thing with Aegon, there's no way I think the realm's getting behind him. I do think Aemond, I think there's going to be a little fratricide or something of that sort. Like, I think somehow Aegon is going to befall something in Amon's taken over because when we see him in the in the um courtyard supper scene or whatever or before that one oh in that training ground yeah and it's like this is a bad motherfucker he looks older than his brother at this point he looks like 35 40 That dude is fucking old. It was when they were saying in the post thing, it's like everyone's between 16 and 21.

I'm like, Eamon is at least 30, like maybe more. It's like his brother got snapped by Thanos for five years and then it allowed him to age up and now he's the older brother. Honestly, Egon, I was like, is that the same actor? I know. Yeah, it doesn't i feel like the casting there looks wise they didn't completely now maybe it's the personality and that's what was more important and i'm sure it is more important i mean the younger kid version that people said i looked like when we did the little jerking off me yeah that kid was in the

show for what two three episodes at most so it's not like the biggest deal no but yeah he didn't look a ton like him but honestly him and the new guy aren't so different in age where it felt like even necessary to change them but i guess if you're switching out some it's like just do all the kids like just switch them all out and that'll be fine it'll just make it easier for everyone to digest but high council telling us that in the books agon's growth was stunted for drinking and whoring i don't know it does whoring stunt your growth having sex no i don't know having sex stunt your growth that that's the first i've ever heard of it that'd be that seems like that seems like that would be every short king's alibi every single one i've just been having too much sex man yeah sorry like my my

growth is stunted yeah that is very funny if that's like the game of thrones lore we got to find out how tall is george rr martin because that plays into it completely if he's if he just wrote that in all that jerking off out the window stunted the growth joe says that's a good one yeah unreal though allison wakes him up screams out of slaps him in the face she's like on today of all days he's like what the fuck is today he's like i don't even know what it is he's kind of like a college student this moment the way he's waking up and he got the blanket over him and she says you are no son of mine very good acting scene from the actress playing allison once again cersei fox the whole show for me this episode was

allison stepping up into more of that queen role she seems more mature more aware of what's going on maybe otto isn't doing as much puppeteering as he is like co-piloting yeah that definitely seems like that to me i was actually shocked even when we got to the scene when they're having they're trying to decide who's going to take over drift mark and otto was in the chair i thought for sure crazy she was going to be the one presiding but it does make sense and like just that visual was like oh this is like yeah give me a pit in my stomach like i don't like this at all yeah not one bit and it was like and the way they shot it the whole time too was like just from a dork like uh editor standpoint they're shooting with them up high the whole time just

lording over everyone and it's just like you just have bad vibes i love it allison finally meets with damon and rainiera they're both like what's up with you not greeting us and i assume you had something more important to attend to and she's like fucking my son's a rapist you wouldn't understand yeah no i just had to like fire the third girl this week because my son's being a fucking creep yeah and they they accuse her of drugging the king pretty quickly they're like what's going on with you with the milk of the poppy over drugging him absolutely he's like yeah i'm the queen so you better watch your mouth basically i love uh damon just no nonsense he's like all right all right yeah who gives a shit like oh he didn't come to greet us he's on drugs like i can smell it's so bad in the tea i could smell it like and it's like his brother and in damon's eyes

allison's probably still like a kid to him right right? In a weird way, because he's married to someone younger than her. Oh, definitely. And I was even thinking of that the whole time. Him, at that dinner table, he's the second oldest. Maybe Otto. Probably Otto. Yeah. But probably way older than everyone, too, by that stretch.

And yeah, I love love i was just like yeah yeah play your games what's going on here this is where we see the training scene luke and jace go to the training ground they're kind of like thinking back to old memories oh remember when we were here remember that remember kristen cole sword or whatever and i was just thinking where is kristen cole you then see him training with Amon and Amon with the eye patch and everything. It's a badass look. And he, like we mentioned, is pretty badass with a sword as well.

Like he can hold his own against Kristen. He had the ball and mace and stuff. Yeah, that stuff. And I think they got interrupted. Yeah, they got interrupted by the brother showing up. What was his name? Vaynor? Vaymond?

Vaymond. Vaymond, yeah. But the fact that like their battle hardly ended and with one eye you have amand already spotted the cousins and it's like you're here to train like with a sword at kristen's throat just like he's he's a fucking problem and that one eye he's only got one now, but that one eye has enough crazy for two eyes. It's always like he's got that wide eye. You know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, where you can see like the white all around it. Yeah, it's like, all right. Especially later on when he gives the toast, his eye the whole time was like this wide open, like Harvey Dent style. I was like, oh, my God god i don't like that at all yeah i want to go i need to go check out what this actor's done before because like he's got the crazy eyes on lock uh but yeah that was that was just an awesome scene lanor's mom then accuses rain nira being involved in her son's death she's like it's not as bad as she has someone where she says it's not as bad as what uh you did to my son or whatever she's like i fucking promise i did not do anything to your son i wasn't involved in that which is you know from a certain point of view yeah it's like technically i didn't kill your son

i killed another guy we made it look like your son to let you believe it forever uh something i saw online yesterday and i wanted to bring up with the targaryens valerians all being bounded to their bound to their dragon for life what's going on with sea smoke like that dragon is it aware because i guess in the books that becomes a whole thing who's going to take sea smoke next who will who will be who will be its next rider but since lanor is not actually dead did it just take off kind of like how drogon just flew away at the end of game of thrones and are they all just like yeah sometimes dragons just go rogue or is it just in the tv version they're just like, the next person just gets it?

I don't know what they're going to do. It's kind of fucked up to abandon your dragon, too. Like, I get that you have to fake your death. You have to get away for your own health and safety, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Abandoning a dragon. Remember when Bieber got that monkey and he abandoned it at the airport? Yo, not until just now. Holy shit. That was fucked up.

Yeah. That was really fucked up. I mean, you abandoned any animal He kind of did the same thing He got paid off for doing it He kind of got forced to do it But you can't abandon your dragon Abandoning a pet of any kind Is always like

That's a shit person One that's also like a weapon of mass destruction Just irresponsible Like, you gotta You gotta figure out what's happening with that that's a shit person one that's also like a weapon of mass destruction just irresponsible like you gotta yeah you gotta figure out what's happening with that before you just fuck off forever and with the pledge thing it's like it's almost like a to make a star wars reference like a life debt it'd be like han solo just take it off like he has to fake his death but he doesn't feel chewy it's like wait whoa you gotta feel chewy yeah no you gotta like enough people don't understand you even if he starts getting Chewie. It's like, wait, whoa, you gotta tell Chewie. Yeah, no, you gotta, like, enough people don't understand Chewie,

even if he starts getting drunk and talking, it's like, ah, he's just being Chewie. Yeah. Rhaenyra makes an offer to Rhaenys where she says, I believe the offer is to kind of switch things around. Her sons will marry her daughters. Like, Rhaenyra's sons will marry the valerian boys that's the

offer she makes in this this moment right uh yes sorry i was reading i think that people are saying that uh the high council says nettles is the next sea smoke rider i don't know if that's in the books or if it was just like thrown in offhand as dialogue that I missed. I don't know who the hell Nettles is. Me neither. I'm going to guess that that's a book thing. But then someone else said Nettles gets the cannibal, not Seasmoke. What the fuck? The cannibal is the name of a dragon?

That sounds sick. Does it eat other dragons? I don't know. That would be insane. I was thinking about that. Like if Vhagar comes in whenever they battle and just bites the head off the dragon, that's going to be terrifying. That's what I want to see. Yeah, I kind of want to see it too, even though like I have theories about who's going to die.

We could probably wait until the end to do that. But I'm afraid some people I really like are going to die. In this season, you think? Yeah. Oh, wow. Interesting. Bold prediction, I think. And she says, Rhaenys says to Rhaenyra in this moment,

tomorrow the High Towers will land their first blow and I get to stand alone, which is a crazy ominous line. Like, what the fuck does that mean? And it makes Rhaenyra very nervous because she goes right to her dad's room. Even though he's like asleep, she like shakes him to wake him up. She's like, hey, you better fucking be on my side tomorrow, you motherfucker. I need this, Dad. I need one last fucking thing.

It is funny how Rhaenyra, though, every time she's backed into a corner, she does offer the marriages. Because it was right before she left and went to Dragonstone that she offered Rhaenyra or Alyson. She's like, I'll marry my kids. I'll get your dragon egg, all that. And it's always kind of her last move. And I did love that.

Rainey's called it out. She's like, this just sounds desperate. But yeah, the, that line was very, very spooky, very spooky.

It's also like, she's pregnant. I'm expecting her to offer up the marriage of that unborn baby any moment. Oh, definitely. She's not beyond that. No, absolutely not. If she gets literally backed into a corner, that baby's up for grabs.

Rhaenyra asks Viserys also in this moment if he believes the Song of ice and fire to be true, um, anytime they bring this up, Prince to be promised any of this stuff. I get a little Peter tingle, as they say in the MCU runs shivers down my spine. It's such a cheap pop,

but I love it. I know it honestly, like with how the regular series ended, it always, it gets me excited. And I'm like, but like, fuck, like, yeah it always, it gets me excited. And I'm like, but like, fuck,

like, no, it wasn't that again. Here's my, my biggest hopes and dreams are in this John snow show. He's north of the wall. Oh shit. There's still white walkers gets a letter.

Oh my God. Daenerys woke up in fucking somewhere and just do it for two more seasons yeah that's just bring it back yeah yeah just being like fuck it we're we're redoing it without redoing it I would be completely down with that I think everyone would be like I think I think everyone would be down with them redoing the eighth season if they said they were gonna do I don't think it would ever happen but people would would be like, fuck yeah, let's go. Emilia Clarke in an interview was like, everyone knows she went to, I think, Lys, I think, is where Drogon flew her.

And it's like, that's where all the, or maybe not Lys, but it's somewhere where all the Red Priestesses are. Seems like a good place to get resurrected when you get stabbed in the heart. I don't know. The door is open enough where

we're all going to be okay with it if it happens. I've also said you could do what they did on the show Dallas, where Jon Snow just wakes up and is just like, oh, it was all a dream and I'll be okay with that. That's a classic. Classic.

Just, oh, what's wrong, honey? The last two seasons are fake? Great. The king's wounds getting attended to in this moment. And he looks sickly. The CGI work was great in this episode. You could tell they really did a lot on his body. He kind of looks like Steve Rogers before the super serum.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Infected with leprosy as well. His back. He had so many sores on his back. It looked like he almost did a medieval cupping session where they just like ripped the skin off of his body it was gross like they hadn't figured it out yet and they're like we think this might help oh shit peel that yeah they just peel the skin off his body it's great it's great don't worry about it i picture

them being able to cut through his skin like it's Play-Doh. Like with a cookie cutter. I feel like Play-Doh is a little too strong. He looks so frail where just poking him is just going to rip a thing out of him. Yeah, it's like memory foam. It's like you could poke it and it's just going to stay there. And I'll tell you what. We referenced Play-Doh. It definitely doesn't smell like Play-Doh.

I like the smell of Play-Doh. It definitely doesn't smell like Play-Doh. I like the smell of Play-Doh. It has to smell disgusting in that room. Yeah, I don't even want to start thinking about that. I might go full Feidelberg and just start yapping right now. He tells Otto that he wants to have a supper that night, and Otto tries to feed him the drugs right away, the milk of the poppy, and he denies it. He's like, don't give me that shit. Just make a supper that night and Otto tries to feed him the drugs right away, the milk of the poppy. And he denies it. He's like,

don't give me that shit. Just make the supper motherfucker. I love that. That was awesome. That, that's something that one. Well, at again,

at any moment, he was going to drop that. So I was like, he's going out. He's going to make some final decisions. He got the gut feeling this episode. I know we're saying every episode we think he's gonna die but this episode was a little different especially in these moments where the

king gets like a badass yes moment where you're fist pumping at something the king said he has like two or three of these that come later on as well he did where they give him a little bit of redemption it's like he wasn't a pussy his whole life you know honestly i was really afraid this entire time that we were just going to get him on that bed for this final episode when we first saw him seeing just how down he was it was it was like fuck a lot of visceras to have a little bit more like just one final scene and they got they gave them three or four this episode which is awesome so let's get into the best one this is an unbelievable scene the entire way it was shot like you said and the music especially beautiful score like this was something that a hans zimmer's playbook and i don't say that lightly i'm a big hans zimmer guy but the petitions begin veyman starts his

speech with otto on the throne as we mentioned before, weird visual, and asks what she knows about Valyrian blood. By she, I mean Rhaenyra. What the fuck does she know about Valyrian blood? Very much implies what's going on here. And she's like, my sons are as much Valyrian as, you know, anyone else. The queen immediately is like, don't interrupt. Let him finish his fucking speech. He finishes. valerian is you know anyone else the queen immediately he's like don't interrupt let him finish his fucking speech he finishes rainier goes to begin and the doors open who is it her father

he has shown up to basically oversee the whole thing and make the final decision he's making a decision for what we could assume is the first time in a while with how this episode begins and alice is running everything the way he walks in is straight out of attack of the clones when yoda walks into that final room his little hunch with the cane and everything i was like this motherfucker's walking in like yoda it's tremendous and his mask badass this so cool yeah whoever made that whoever commissioned that for the king a plus you nailed that gift yeah the uh one i saw your tweet i was a little bit behind and i was just like i saw when he was still in bed i'm like oh no it's gonna be good and then i was like i'm like all right rest of the day put my phone away but that was spot on his little hobble just coming in and the way they shot it and gave him like it was like when the undertaker enters and you're But that was spot on, his little hobble just coming in. And the way they shot it and gave him, like, it was like when The Undertaker enters and you're like, all right, I got three minutes till he hits the ring.

Absolutely. They really let him take his time up to that throne. What was his actual line? I wrote it down. He says, I will sit the throne today to Otto. Yeah. Otto's like, my grace. Otto looks terrified. Yeah, he does. Otto's never looked more scared.

Like, even Alicent, they're both like, oh shit, does he know probably all the shit we've been doing? He hasn't seen the... I guarantee he hasn't seen the throne room just completely decked out in, like, the light of the seven shit. He's probably like, where's all the dragon stuff? What's going on in here? Where's my posters?

He's like, how long have I been asleep? There's no way he knows how long he's been out no i mean how did they even judge time back then just the daylight i assume but like yeah time actually like hours had to be just a crapshoot in terms of like just looking at what the sun is yeah and and he's been so drugged out on milk of the poppy he's like i'm sure he's missed weeks at a time and as he goes to step onto the throne his crown falls off and we see like someone reach for it and go to give it to him and he's like i told you auto i'm fucking fine and it's not auto helping him out it's damon it's his brother damon your boy bob i that one made me tear up that like it was a nice moment like the

last time they were at the throne together, there was a knife being held to Damon's throat. Well, he was also saying, like, I want a fucking daughter. Yeah, he was like, she's fucking, you know, ruined. Just give her to me now. Yeah, any time they've been in that room, there's just been, like,

they've been at each other's throats. And this, like, this moment was just, like, such a great brotherly moment it just it made me like the idea if i'd ever do that like help my brother walk anything like that like if i was like i was like i need a minute this this one got me and it was such a cool moment for him and damon bringing him up and just putting the crown on him because thinking all the way back, if he wasn't such a shit head the whole time, like Damon, none of this would have happened.

No granted. Like Damon wouldn't be in the throne. Agon would be regardless, but like Rainier never would have gotten named. None of that. So him finally being, it was like him accepting his brother is King finally. And like,

and just, it was a phenomenally written show and moment too where like that is such a wholesome awesome moment yeah and satisfying for the people that have been watching it like it's literally him just picking up the crown and giving it to him but if you've been watching the whole time it means so much yeah absolutely and that it like that's one of my favorite like small scenes i think think, in the entire series. So agreed because you get all that payoff, especially knowing that this is the last moment that he has with his brother. Like they don't really just share another moment like this.

This is the last one. And it's him like just helping him quietly. So that way he's not embarrassed in front of everyone else. Awesome. And this amazing scene just gets better when it continues and the king says hey the the sea snake's wife would know what he wanted best so what do we do in debating you and you and you and you let's just call the wife up rainis and she'll know what he wanted and she tells the king this is what reynira just proposed to me the

marriages and we're gonna accept this offer we accept the trade and i think he would want loose to be the rightful heir i i actually know he would want loose to be the rightful heir so vayman's uh vayman's like what the fuck he's like the king's gonna allow this the king's gonna start presiding on our business no way that is not my nephew and you're a bubba and everyone's like oh oh david is he gonna say it david with the do it yeah literally is yeah in that moment yeah awesome and he just goes our children are bastards and she is a whore and immediately like oh my god minds are blown in that room like what the fuck did this guy just say he said the next queen's a whore dude and we know from the last episode when the king was like hey if anyone calls into question the legitimacy i'm

getting your tongue cut out so i said immediately cut that motherfucker's tongue out and the king is like i will have your tongue cut out i'm like fuck yeah cut that motherfucker's tongue out. And the king is like, I will have your tongue cut out. And I'm like, fuck yeah, they're cutting his tongue out. Before we could even think about cutting his tongue out or how that's going to be done, Damon slices this motherfucker's head in half. I would say head off, but half the head is still kind of on there, including the tongue. Your tongue's still being there. He can keep his tongue. Oh my God, Nick.

Dude, just a mic drop moment them being like get his swords he's like i'm fine i'm fine like he can just keep his tongue holy shit his tongue was such a baller fucking line also shows kind of how he would have been a much better king if you're gonna call the princess a whore you're gonna lose your head like and also there was no punishment or even like talked about punishment for this he was just at dinner the next night and they're like oh you know prayers up to fucking what's his name and he's just like that that was awesome he's just he's like damon fucking who forgot about him already yeah don't know his name yeah oh the guy with the tongue oh yeah yeah i remember i sliced his head off yeah yeah again ben team damon since day one that moment was like yeah don't fucking talk about

my wife dude that was as good as the the crab feeder moment for me absolutely yeah the uh it's the valerian steel sword too where they're just like oh yeah this will slice through everything perfectly like a lightsaber like it's like butter like just it goes straight through and shout out to the cgi artist the makeup artist to have the tongue still on that top of the head and like the way it looked that was so cool i think that was i think that was practical i would imagine that like to get that shot i think that that was one that they probably built a dummy for because that just looked so real, like real and just crazy. Then the next scene when his head is just laying on the table, just a little bit off in Rainey's is just watching over it. By the way, the high council telling us in the books, it seems that Rainira feeds him to her dragon really not to cut you

off i just saw that and it completely captivated me that that visual like all right that's pretty cool because in the in the show they actually like try to put his body back together again for his funeral or whatever they're gonna send it back they tell reynis like hey his body's gonna be ready soon don't look at it it's bad luck to look at the dead body and she's like i've fucking seen the face of death many times i don't give a shit you think that's do you think that's kind of foreshadowing though you think she is gonna get some bad luck because of this we're gonna be like she looked at the fucking death i could see it just because with drift mark like i haven't really heard anything about that until this series and i don't know with i i don't know she seems like somebody that's gonna hang around like part of me wants to but like she kind of has that

wise nature where she'll always be at play until she decides to like turn heel and just start fucking killing everybody she does have a dragon she could just go rogue at any point. Yeah, true. Yeah, unless... I don't think... Definitively, I don't think she's going to die just yet. But I think she is going to see a lot more death. Yeah. We go to the supper now.

They have this big family supper. Aegon's immediately being a dick. He's like, oh, congrats on your marriage or whatever. And he says to the wife, is it Bela? It's one of the, the girls. Yeah.

I haven't quite got their names down. I think it's Bela though. That's marrying. There's so many names in the show. Marrying loose or Jason. He tells one of the wives, like you're about to be disappointed. I'm sorry about that. He asked the kid, like, do you even know where your cock goes dude yeah it's just like oh this

fucking asshole i can't believe it's the typical thanksgiving dinner you're there with like that one asshole the family like oh my god i just get through this day and i won't have to see him for a while but the king stands up and he's like i I'm disappointed in all of you. You used to be close. You're the people that mean the most to me. And now look at us. We're so divided. We're so separated. And he takes his fucking mask off.

We see 10 feet into this guy's cranium through his eye hole. And he's got a, you know, his mouth is all Harvey Dentish and everything. I should have done CGI so I could take this off in this moment. That'd be sick. Yeah. Next time. But he's like, I want you done CGI so I could take this off in this moment. That'd be sick. Yeah. Next time. But he's like, I want you to see how I really am in these moments. And for me, if not for the realm or whatever, just for me right now,

look at me. I'm fucking dying here. My last wish basically is for you guys to get along for a second. So Rainier stands up to be a good daughter. And she says, you know what? I'm giving a toast to Alison because as much as we have differences, you have been there for my father and you've stood by his side. You've taken care of him.

Thank you for that. Allison stands up. She gives a toast in return to Rainier. And then Agon tells Jace's wife, like, hey, if you want to be satisfied, come over here and get this deck. Fucking come on, dude. Wild. Wild. It's like grandpa's still right there well his dad that's his dad he's still right there like you can still see his eye socket and yeah he's just he's just like i got you like fucking what a dick that's

that reminded me a lot of i don't know if you have a big extended family, Bob Oh yeah I do, where we would go And all the kids, we'd just be fighting Like, we'd just be fucking around With each other, where we'd sit down for dinner And yeah, there was a piece at dinner But the second dinner ended

I was throwing hands with one of my cousins Throwing hands? Throwing hands? Oh yeah, throwing hands We used to wrestle like i think it was like mini hockey sticks were swung at each other fucking it sounds like it was like in the courtyard yeah exactly and that's where i was like oh this is such a nice moment they might get all over it even the adults are like letting shit by

it's like yeah the kids ain't gonna let that happen the kids are going right back at it and they're gonna beat the shit out of each other once grandpa's gone and that's yeah kind of exactly what happened just immediately and by the way just to clarify for those listening shout out to the high council in the chat bayla is with jace and reina is with loose that's i'm sure it's going to become more clear to us in the episodes it always takes just a couple for us to get used to the names and then we can kind of stick on them but jace then stands up and makes a toast where he's like hey you know what respect to my cousins he kind of is taking the high road in this toast in a way and then the sister stands up who's married to agon if you're

not following this is i know it's a weird yeah brother and sister are married that's fucking strange she's kind of the strange sister that likes the bugs and stuff but she stands up and she's like credit to my husband who mostly ignores me unless he's drunk everyone's like okay this dinner has gone off the rails yeah exactly that you taking that final sip is basically what everyone at the table does and just like okay this is fucking awkward and jace in an ultimate move x her to dance in that moment he's like oh he ignores you i won't come dance with me awesome and then everyone looks over like even the king looks over like oh my god are you kidding me a little bit before that about the sister because i've seen this on tiktok a lot and she even dropped at this episode

she's kind of like a witch not a witch but like she she what she says ends up coming true where if you go back two episodes when god all these goddamn names. When Aemon is talking to Allison and Aemon's like, one day, or Allison's like, one day you'll have a dragon. She goes, I'll have to close an eye first. And then she also predicts the web of silk, the sides of green

and black. This time she said, beware the boar beneath the floorboards. Or the boar or the beast. Beware the beast below the boards. Nothing happened in this episode, but the entire time, like the next scene they brought in front of Eamon when he gives his toast, they brought a boar and they put it in front of him. And I was just like, I'm like, does he have a knife? Does he have a knife under him? Is he going gonna fucking take jace's eye or luke's eye the entire time i'm like

i'm gonna be looking for any animal that could be a beast now and just panicking uh and could that mean a dragon turning on somebody like below the boards is that one dragon remember yeah the one that's down below that like in In that cave, yeah. Yeah, that Aemon found that freaked out. That below the boards in some way. That's what. I don't know. But she's definitely, we're calling her a dreamer in the high council. Yeah, dreamer, greenseer.

Also, while we're on that, we didn't get much of, I don't think we got any of him. Laris. No, no Laris. I saw this theory going with her being a dreamer there's thoughts that he actually might be a war or not a war instead of work which brand was right where you can go into animals and whatnot and that's why we've been seeing they've been clearly showing rats running around and it's how he's by the tree right like he knew some shit about what they talked about but yeah there was stuff by the tree and then like

when in the king's chambers like a rat's running on the mantle and stuff like that there's all there's some weird stuff where i haven't seen enough to believe it yet but i like where that's going where warg people are saying warg lol warg i mean people are saying wharf and work so we said one of them and got it wrong and they're laughing about that in the chat and also correcting us but it's hard to decipher this is more confusing than trying to follow the names i know it also isn't a work the name of like something lord of the rings like those evil dogs or something well a wag is wife wives and girlfriend i know yeah all right there's there's too much too much um the king starts passing out at dinner and i said immediately to my girlfriend like is the king dying right now is this his happy ending where he's surrounded by loved ones that's he starts going it kind of is like the

guards come in and take him out in that moment and he doesn't get to see when things really shit hit the fan basically yeah no and that's i was very happy if that was like his very last moments because the entire time this is just what he's wanted every fucking time he's like let's all just be a family have fun finally people are like toasting each other as backhanded as might be but like he thinks like i just want varus to be or viserys to be happy like i just want him to have that moment and i think that he got it even though it's probably the last moment this family will ever be happy together. Probably because Amon stands up and he makes a toast to his nephews. He's like, shout out to my nephews for being here.

You guys are growing into such strong young men. I mean, you are so strong, aren't you? You're just a strong little boy, aren't you? You're strong. And they start getting into a fight because, of course, he's calling them out for being biologically strong in the harwin family and whatnot and damon just stares him down when this gets separated and this is a little tease i think for the future right like these two are gonna butt heads and it's gonna get feisty and when he stares him down amon on it. Geek on it, bitches. Out. Yeah, he does. Also, I'll put my hand up.

There's too many names. I didn't put together the strong thing. Really? That's so fucking dumb. You're like, man, he's really angry about this stuff. Where I'm like, well, yeah, they are much weaker than him. But they're getting real mad about it. Jesus Christ. I can't believe I didn't realize that.

That was really good. Yeah, yeah. It was just right over my head. There was a lot going on. That whole time, I'm like, where's the beast? Where's the beast? Where's the beast? Rainiera tells Allison in this moment, she's like, all right, our families are exploding again.

We're going to get the fuck out of here. Allison's like, oh, you just got here. We'd love to have you back. She's like, all right, I'll take the kids back. I'll'll make sure they get back safe and then i'll ride back on my dragon which i immediately felt like she could ride back pregnant is that okay can you ride dragons pregnant uh that seems a little yeah like it'd be frowned upon yeah i'm not telling her how to ride a dragon you know i'm pro rainier whatever she wants i'm not gonna stop her from riding the dragon but you can't smoke cigarettes right so it's like are there dragon fumes is there is there ash is there smoke

from a dragon can you just not dracarys while you're pregnant yeah probably not i would i guess you got to keep it to a minimum a little secondhand smoke action yeah i think i trust her i trust her but i did worry for that yeah um damon's old lady we see for for a moment at the end here uh and i i hesitate to call her damon's old whore but i believe that's what she kind of was um oh look at this pop she talks to one of the queen's girls yeah so that's the girl that's been running around uh she was she comes into the room when laris um was talking to the queen being like i burned my whole family or maybe they kind of sent her away right they sent her away that's who people thought was melisandre just because the actress kind of looks like her oh um it just it's just a

redhead uh but she also the fact that she went to that lady has me so confused because I thought, we thought that that lady was the informant for Otto. Is it not? Maybe it is? It could be because she's like. She's playing like different sides. I don't know. I don't understand her allegiance at this moment. Because back in episode whichever one Damon and Rhaenyra first hooked up in the whorehouse, that girl, there's like a little boy that tells her about it. And then Otto knows and goes to the king. So based on that, I assume that they were all connected that way i don't know

if maybe otto is just spying that it might just be that he's spying on everyone again maybe he's also spying on his daughter and just keeping an eye on her but the fact they went there one did you think it was damon because i kind of thought oh yeah with the hood absolutely i think they played it so we would think it was yeah right and? And I immediately, like being a Rhaenyra fan, I was like, ah, this motherfucker is stepping out on Rhaenyra. You've got to be fucking kidding me. Right after he slices the head off for her. But no, I think he's, you know, monogamous Damon. That's what we all call him. But yeah, I don't know what her intentions are.

I do think the last we thought she was aligned with Otto. But I'm not sure. What's the High Council saying? I'm trying to see. Perhaps damn Aegon's bastards from all his whoring. Are we talking about what we think the – Oh, yeah. We're talking about what we think the people in the chat are talking about the up next on Game of thrones like the next week on

and they showed a little kid and they said like there's a big secret we got to talk about and he was fucking platinum blonde which is like okay whose fucking kid is this is it agon's kid from the whoring like the chat just brought up shanie's baker uh becker in the chat brought that up is it a damon kid from his whoring where it's like oh shit damon's got another kid too i i don't know but i think it's a targaryen of some sort it's gotta be right or of a valerian i guess i mean we don't know um the end of the episode though this is an important moment alice comes into the king's room and the king thinking she's reynira because he's literally taking his final breaths dying he's milk of the poppied up in this boom and he's drugged up says the song of ice and

fire i do believe in this uh and you know agon he is the one the prince who was promised you are the one like you absolutely it is you like you go on this journey. And she's like, oh, fuck. She starts to tear up. She's like, I understand. I guess this is your dying wish. And he takes a final breath. Yeah, I know.

Everyone's like everyone's like, no, he's just saying bits of the story. It's all out of order. It's all out of order. He thinks it's yesterday. Like, why? Don't take this for a word. Yeah. No. And as soon as she said out of order. He thinks it's yesterday. Like, why? Don't take this for word. Yeah. No.

And as soon as she said, I understand. We were like, no, no. She misinterpreted the whole thing. Just like we thought she was going to do. Yeah. That was bad. I was trying to, I was doing the Jonah Hill. Like fucking cut it off.

Just die. Just die. Just go. Come on. Just go. He does die. Kind of has the citizen cane death where he has the, like his last words. It's not Rose, but it's my love.

He says my love. Yeah. And it was well done in that you hear his breathing, the screen goes black, and then you just stop hearing his breathing. And then they obviously talk about it in the behind-the-scenes bit and on the next week on House of the Dragon. Next week, first line, King's dead. We already saw in just that clip, chaos is erupting.

The war is starting already. It's like they were waiting for him to die. It looks like they are trying to lock everyone in the castle, slaughter them then and there, or make them pledge fealty because they're all still there. so it's just a powder keg they can't like if allison comes back which she's bound to be the one to find them

she's going to come back and be like all right lock all the dragons up do not let anyone out get like that we've planned for this they've they've definitely right yeah they've got a plan they're like execute order 66 motherfuckers a plan. They're like, execute order 66, motherfuckers. Absolutely. And they're like, it's crazy. We didn't have to go to Dragonstone. They're all here. We could just do it. Even the Driftmark people are here.

We can get them all right now. It is. And next week is the penultimate episode, which we know from Thrones, that's usually when shit would hit the fan. Like they did that in the red wedding where they catch you off guard, where you, you know, a typical television viewer would think the finale, we're going to get the big battles. We're going to get the big,

Oh my God. In game of Thrones. They usually treated the finales as like a epilogue or, or some sorts for like the penultimate episode. So next week I think is going to be the big, like, Holy shit here. The future implications episode.

Yeah. It kind of shifted a few years ago, like holy shit, here are the future implications episode. Yeah. It kind of shifted a few years ago, like in kind of all TV, where the penultimate matters the most. And then the finale is the fallout of that. All the tie up the resolution, set up the next season. So we're definitely getting that next week where I. All right. Are we doing predictions? Predictions.

Let's do it. Yeah. I think my boy's gonna die I think your boy Damon I think so the way he Was squaring off with Like That kid is a problem And I think they want to set him up as a Fucking problem going forward

Where He's got that dragon that's bigger and then like he's pretty fucking quick with a sword i think we're gonna get a square off between that him and and i think this season you're predicting i think so i think i don't think that i because george rr martin said damon was his favorite character right there's got to be more i'm hoping like i'm hoping but like something that would it would make me furious it would make me want to fucking kill that kid like it would make me come back and be like when is amon going to fucking die yeah it would be that and i think that i think beginning of next episode that would piss me off. And I'm not even the big Damon guy,

but that would piss me off. I hope that doesn't happen. I'm a, I'm afraid that that's, there's just been a few things where it's like, I don't know. They, they gave him some redemption.

They're giving it here and there. If they give him like a strong redemption in the beginning of the next episode, something that makes him like just a wholesome family, man, I'm, I'm i'm gonna be i'm gonna be like oh well he's gone yeah there's no way one of rain near his kids are gonna die i can see that too definitely before they they're able to get married and that'll kind of throw

another spin on like okay well then who marries who and i could even see the one who's supposed to be the heir of drift markmark getting killed, Luce. Yeah, and then – Or Luke, whatever we call him. Yeah, I don't think it would happen yet, but I do think Aegon is – Aegon's toast. I don't know if that happens yet. Maybe it does. Aegon's reckless too.

Like Aegon's the kind of guy where you're like – yeah, like he could die in a silly way. He could die and then it's like, yeah, Aemond is – Yeah, like, he could die in a silly way. He could die, and then it's like, yeah, Aemond is... Yeah, yeah. He's a good, like, warrior king, like, comes out of this, and everyone loves him if he, like, won the war. He's not jerking out of his window. No, no. He's, yeah. But, yeah, the beast beneath the boards, I think, is, like, I'm going to be looking out for that all next episode.

Now, it's almost looking ahead to the finale, which I'm sure we're going to do with Clem and KFC next week. And we'll make our finale predictions then. Yeah, they're fine. Sorry. What do you think the final episode? Oh yeah, that's true. It's like, we're clearing up their minds in term in,

in time for the important stuff. What do you think the final, like not the final shot, but the final moment of the season is going to be. Cause I kind of think it's like going to be reynira like confidently sitting on the throne like taking her place on the throne it's definitely it's going to be someone on the throne i'm not confident enough that it's going to be reynira yet you think they're going to usurp her somehow that the high towers are going to fuck her over i i can see that just especially with even the way that they talk about Westeros just being like

they respect men as kings. And I could see them being like, no, we have enough of the realm behind us. Also, like, they're just, they're outnumbered right now. They don't have an army with them. They have to flee King's Landing and fleeing

like, just to get their lives. Like it's going to be it's going to be interesting. Some people are saying in the chat, Remy Lebeau said final episode. How about we go to Winterfell? We fleeted there. That would be cool to see. So that would be interesting, especially now that the North is in Allison's mind. Like the fact that she's it's like the battle in the North.

And she's, like, now probably going to be thinking about that a lot. Like, the fuck is going on over there? Unreal. It's going to be a crazy final two episodes. And we've had a crazy eight episodes. I don't think they've missed. I think all eight episodes have been very, very good. No, I agree with you. And I think, like, a lot of people have had complaints about the time jump. episodes i don't think they've missed i think all eight episodes have been very very good no i i

agree with you and i think like a lot of people have had complaints about the time jump because like we're used to thrones where in this world we were taking it step by step i think that the way they did this with the story was just the right way to do it because yeah like we we want all this action i don't need seven years of like like, figuring out, like, oh, who's Raniere going to marry next and shit like that. Or, like, anything in the interim. I want to see, like, these action points leading up to, like, they'll probably slow it down now. That's what they've said. Yeah, they said season two.

Don't expect a single time jump. They're, like, they're just getting you to the moment where you need to be. We're, you know, making sure you understand the dynamics and everything and then this is people are saying fans especially people that have read the books have reassured me and other people many times this is basically the prequel to like the real stuff like the real story is the war and everything we've seen thus far is basically the setup That's unbelievable. That's very exciting because it definitely does feel like that. I think in the long run, we're going to look back at this and it's like the prologue before Rogue One. Where it's like that little scene that's three minutes.

That's what season one is. It's like, we're getting you up to speed. You're going to complain about this a little bit, but the second we start going, you're never going to even think about all those people people but i do think that it's been awesome the way they've done it and i do think this episode was a little slower i don't know if it was my favorite um it was tied with the longest so that was another thing i think it was slower as well because we cut back to the king dying it was a deathbed thing it was almost like methodically slow in terms of they were like showing the slow death of the king yeah and there were a lot of those long-paced scenes but i agree

not my favorite episode but it was very good and that one scene where the king actually shows up step up step up in this bitch like and then the head slice and everything yeah that was up there with my favorite scenes in the show. I agree with that, actually. Yeah, that slow walk. The fact they just let him do the entire thing was so cool. Like, watching the Kingsguard behind him just go in pace was awesome. They gave him, like, the entrance, too. It's like, you know, their Bruce Buffer walks out,

and he's like, next time! Yeah, that was awesome. That will go down as one of the best scenes like, it's time. Yeah, that was awesome. That will go down as one of the best scenes this season, I think. I'm hoping they're going to probably... Between that scene and the supper scene where he's like, get my family together, this guy could win an Emmy.

I was going to say, I think Patty Constantine will get nominated for an Emmy and they will be showing that scene. I think him and Otto especially. I think they're going to get Emm say, I think Patty Constantine will get nominated for an Emmy and they will be showing that scene. I think him and Otto, especially like I think they're going to get Emmys. I think Allison, the Olivia Cook is the current one. Is that Emma Darcy? Is that the Emma Darcy is Rainier? I know that.

I just don't know which one's the older one, the younger one. The older Allison Rainier will both get nominated, I think, as well. Yeah, Olivia Cooke. Also, I love this cast. The younger ones could, too, yeah. Yeah, the cast offscreen, too. That TikTok going around, Olivia Cooke and Emma Darcy talking about the Prosecco. And then even there's one of Olivia Cooke being like, I play Queen Alison Hightower.

It's like, well, people started saying I was Patty's wife. And I had to remind them that I'm the fucking queen. And I'm like, you're making me want to root for Alison. You know who was great? Did you watch the little behind the scenes thing? After the show? Yeah. A little bit of it.

I was starting to get dressed. The actress that – not the actress. The actor that plays Vaemond was so funny in it. He was very much sticking up for his character. And when they asked about his death or whatever, he's like, I don't know. He hit me from behind. He didn't even look me square in the face. And then he started laughing. So respect to the actor that played Vaemond.

I love when the actors get behind the motivation of the character that they play, and they stick up for him no matter what, and he was very much doing that. Someone that did that very well, the guy from Breaking Bad. I'm forgetting his name. Which one? The cop. Oh, Hank Schrader? Hank Schrader.

Yeah. The actor who plays him. Hank Norris or Dean Norris? Dean Norris. He – I remember watching – that was one of the first times Conan ever did like a panel of everyone was on. Yeah. And it was like I think immediately after the finale or maybe right after Ozymandias where he actually dies. And he – spoiler alert for the chat.

Sorry. Yeah, if you didn't see it. Let that one fly pretty quick, he was like, is bullshit. Like he was mad. He's like, I was trying to stop the drug Lord.

Sorry. Like this. He's like, I wish I would, I shouldn't have had him here. I should have had him here. Like he was the entire time. I think he was quiet.

And when he did talk, he was like pissed off and it was awesome it's really cool to see that i gotta go back and re-watch vaymond getting into it someone in the chat said whether you liked him or not everything vaymond said was true it was true and you know what he had balls for saying it like i respect the balls for screaming it and he really he thought about it for a sec he was like you're a boat and then he was like you don't want fuck it you're a bastard and you're a whore and he like doubled down and i was like all right respect you deserve to get your head chopped off i'm glad you got your head chopped off you bastard but yeah oh he knew he

knew he wasn't leaving that room like oh you think he knew he was getting killed he kind of had something about him where i was like is he gonna try to break off and have like the king not run his shit he's the king so it's like yeah in thrones it's not like you know the royal family doesn't do anything i'm wondering very much tells you what to do in thrones whoever has the throne yeah i like i'm wondering if he thought like i'm gonna lose my tongue i don't know if he thought he was gonna lose his head i guarantee he was probably like well i'm gonna make this worth it i think he just saw red i think he had like respect to rico bosco but you know sometimes rico bosco sees red don't say list moments like that i think he had like respect to Rico Bosco, but you know, sometimes Rico Bosco sees red. Don't say list moments like that.

I think he had a don't say list moment and he paid the price. Just unrelated or speaking of Rico, there was at a comedy club, a girl had a high noon thrown at her this weekend. Really? Just whiz right past her. She picked it up and slugged it. It was all badass. Yeah.

That's the way to handle that. Yeah. Yeah. She, she's uh she's getting a lot of love for that right now yeah she's like kind of a newer comedian that's what ray nero would have done oh absolutely damon tries to sling a high noon can at her and she's like no i hold the power she's like how much how much is it all right all right i think that was unless you have more to add i think that was pretty much episode eight no i think that's all i got this was this one finally r.i.p the king like yeah rest in peace you know what i suggested in a group chat a while ago and i'm still like i still have this weird fascination with this idea in my mind making like an American idol eliminated tape for people that die set to, you had a bad day.

Just for the game. We see it. You know, Ryan secrets, like we'll see. Oh my God. That'd be great. Make sure you go to a store.

Dot barstool sports.com and get the Dracarys shirts as well. Cause they're still for sale. There's still fire pun intended. store.barstoolsports.com and get the Dracarys shirts as well, because they're still for sale. They're still fire, pun intended. We'll be back next week with Clem and KFC as well. Obviously, their beloved Mets have also died. Same fate as the King, as we mentioned. So they'll have their full attention and focus on the Dragon Show,

as Frank calls it. Yeah, that's, oh man, just brutal. I know, I saw one clip from today where they left the gambling train to go watch it in the KFC radio studio. And Frank went running around being like, are they watching dragons right now? You know what? I'm team KFC and Clem, you know, they're my guys.

Oh yeah. That was hysterical. That was very funny. Also, when they did the live stream the one day and Frank was screaming about it, it was last Monday. And then it just ended with a Frank the Tank genuine Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon review. Where he's just like, it sucks. The time jumps. It was the time jumps.

All that's going on is yada, yada, yada. It's been 20 years. Yada, yada, yada. It's been six years. Freaking out about it. And then just went right yada yada it's been six years freaking out about it and then just went right back and that's just like the mets and i'm like like it is so funny to watch i feel i feel for those guys but like having to watch that during the gambling dreams because they couldn't even yesterday they couldn't even enjoy their one win because i think dave was

losing a bunch of money and it's like you can't really sell it too hard right now. Before we get out of here, who's the MVP of the episode for you? I think there's like two real front runners being the King and Damon, right? But it's like, I think you're poison. I think for his final episode, I think I'm going to give it to the King. I got to give it to the King too. I think like him actually stepping up, being like, I don't want any drugs. I'm going in, it to the king. I got to give it to the king too. I think like him actually stepping up, being like, I don't want any drugs. I'm going in.

I'm making decisions. So nobody can be like, he was on drugs when he said that. Just like, no, this is me of sound mind. I am in fucking pain. But these are my decisions. And I think he, by far, I do think this, like, again, I think Patty gets the Aminam. And I think that this is the episode they start showing like different parts of doing it absolutely and then well we'll see

how much the emmys can show with that decrepit face i don't even know that might be tvma like that's the kind of thing if it's like a uh cartoonish show there's a worm that crawls out of his eye and it's like has has a face and it talks to us. That'd be sick. Alright, thank you to everyone for tuning in. We will be back with the full crew next week, immediately after the episode and it's the penultimate episode, so you know

shit is going to hit the fan, shit's going to get crazy, so make sure you're here. Same bat time, same bat place on the My Momma's Basement YouTube channel. We'll see you then later
