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 presented by My Mom's Basement and Barstool Sports. One year, seven months, and 23 days after recapping the season one finale of House of the Dragon, where Luke got chewed up and spit out by Vhagar, Aemon shot up the psychopath rankings, we have risen from the dead like Jon Snow. Who is we? I'm glad you asked. I am Sir Octagon of House Fox, Keeper of the Basement. With me is Clem the Great from North of the Wall,

Sir Clancy of House Misery, Leader of the Disturbed, and of course, Nicholas of the Hamilton family, protector of production and head graphicsmith. Fellas, it's good to be back. Let's go. We are back. I'm costumeless today because I went to my Amazon to see when they were getting delivered and all my costumes were sitting in the cart and I didn't press buy. But I got a whole boatload coming, baby, so we're going to buckle up here. You better bring the heat. Clem, what is that, a paper plate turned into a rat? Yes, it is.

It is a rat. It's a last-minute rat. Is it good to be back? Because I feel pretty fucking awful right now. I had it in my notes. Let me tell you why it's good. Dude, just to go back to the first season real quick before we dive into the beginnings of this. I don't know whether it was like the Game of Thrones hangover or comparing too much or watching week to week was different or whatever the reason was.

When we watched the first time, I was like, this is pretty good. When I watched season one on my rewatch, fucking incredible. Like right up there with seasons one through four of Game of Thrones. So dense, so many different characters, but they keep it moving and everybody matters. Like there is not a wasted scene, minute, dialogue, nothing. I mean, it is fucking awesome. I really would put it up there with the original Thrones at its peak. So no matter how awful this gets with talking about everything,

it's still good to be back because, I don't know, people forgot how good this book and this this can be when it's done well so we are back baby kevin they killed the baby on the father's day no less they killed the baby it's in the closed captions like knife blade chopping bone and flesh yeah kind of like cutting a watermelon yeah it was squelching it was squelching it was bone oh we need a squelching comment on the season like the amount of times that pops up in the text like every time it pops up it's like get out of here stop that okay but

listen what was worse uh the failed c-section in season one, episode one, where there's dead babies right off the rip both seasons. Well, that's the thing. It's one year, seven months. You forget a lot. I forgot character names. I was like, oh, I'm probably going to forget a storyline here or there. I forgot it's the dead baby show. I forgot that every week came on here and we were like, oh, they fucking killed another baby.

Can you believe it? It's tough. It was a tough realization to come back to at the end of that episode to be like oh yeah we do the dead baby show on on sunday night it's like the incest the regular murder the torture all of it takes a back seat to baby murder yeah and worse they kicked the dog oh that was man i you know what I don't like the dog Kicking but I couldn't I said I don't like this dog's chances as soon as he got

On the screen this dog is fucked And I thought he was straight up dead So I'll settle for the kick to be honest When he walked by in the beginning I was like That was weird what was that dog doing there Like we've never I was like yeah He's gonna eat this or someone's

gonna chop his head off so a little kick is is the best case scenario that was when i knew like everything was going to shit with these guys obviously it was going to regardless but then it was like oh but we're gonna be happy it goes to shit like yeah not great and before we get into the intricacies of the episode just the overall thoughts we're happy with the premiere right i'm at least happy coming out of this it feels like we're back it's like oh shit it wasn't you know they didn't kick the door down and give us a crazy battle action scene but thrones doesn't really do that a lot in the premieres at least from what i remember it's a lot of all right let's set the table for the whole season i don't i don't like the big battle scenes anyway i mean i like

them they're cool but to me i i much rather prefer like politics and all that stuff so uh i you know i thought it came in hot and uh i mean it's funny like what are you gonna do when you have you know a year and a half in between shows and and homeboy grows up like so fast in the beginning scene i was like who the fuck is this guy oh yeah they don't have a choice. They got to play this guy. He just looks totally different now. But to see, to start out in North of the Wall, you know, up north is like giving me the old feelings, showing the wall, everybody all bundled up.

And then, yeah, I mean, they made some major moves right away. Like this is a premiere. This is not like a premiere that's like, oh, we just kind of like ease back in. They made a major move that, that really, I think sparks things in a weird way. We'll talk about it much more, but like, I think the end of that is, it means everything in the series.

Yeah. If you're not watching on YouTube, the, the rat catcher mask just came undone. It was, it was nice while it lasted, but, on YouTube, the rat catcher mask just came undone. It just popped right up. It was nice while it lasted, but yeah, I don't know if that thing was going to last the entire episode. By the way, if you're not watching on YouTube, if you're listening on the Game of Stools

feed, we're going to have Game of Stools here, but then go over to the My Mom's Basement feed for the rest of the episode. We're going to kind of transition it. If you're watching on the My Mom's Basement channel, thank you for being here. And I do feel like this is, especially going forward, it's a good show to watch, not only listen to, because

Clem brings it with the costume. We were a couple minutes late today, and I said I'm picturing like a Batman-esque, like he's putting on the belt. Put the glasses over it. Is that a Clem original or a Mrs. Clem original? Mrs. Clem does all this stuff.

You got the cheat code, man. She's always making you some cool shit. I need to get like an arts and crafts thing going over here. I got this. My marriage is slipping, basically. She's like, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to make a little rap for you right now. That's why I married you, honey. Fuck. So let's get into the episode.

We got a new intro. They actually changed things up. I feel like when we recapped the first episode of House of the Dragon, we were like, oh, OK, so we're just doing the Game of Thrones intro. Like they're not only taking the song, but kind of taking the actual animation to very similar. This time they changed it up. It looked a little white lotusy almost with

the threads and the blood but i liked it it actually felt different to me i'll be honest i i didn't i i pressed skip intro so i didn't realize they did a new one come on so like you know it just came up and i was like i've seen this a million times it's like it's like saying, yeah, I didn't watch the National Anthem before the Super Bowl. What are we talking about? Two through eight, but episode one you got to watch. It always gets me in the mood

once it starts going. I'm very glad I ran out of time to redo our intro and I was just going to copy season one. I would have had to just do it all again with all the threads coming out. Dude, it's okay. This fucking intro.

You're going to have to remake a whole new one. I know. I want you to stitch it and do it stop motion this time. I don't want you to do it. This fucking series is so good. Watching a tapestry bead belt gets me fucking off. That's how good it is, man.

You're making a tapestry. And God bless all the YouTubers who are doing the Easter eggs and telling me exactly what the tapestry be built gets me fucking off. That's how good it is. We're making a tapestry. And God bless all the YouTubers who are doing the Easter eggs and telling me exactly what the tapestry means. Because it's fucking all in Chinese in my mind. I don't know what the fuck I'm looking at. And there's a lot of blood going through the tapestry. I thought it would be fun. One week, there's like a character that's so cowardly. Instead of red, he's a yellow.

Little piss boy. That'd be great um we do start in winterfell though the raven flies into winterfell maybe i'm just an idiot maybe it's been too long when you get the narration of like my ancestor torrent stark i was like oh my god are they doing like the many saints of newark thing is this john snow talking to us from the grave or something did anyone else think that or am i the only idiot on the show? I didn't go there. I was confused. I didn't know what was happening, but I didn't go there. It's been a long time since I've heard Kit Harington's voice. He hasn't gotten a lot of work since Thrones. No, I remember them bringing up Torrin in the last season. That's the only reason I remember once his name popped up.

Otherwise, I was shocked at how young he was. I thought it was like some old dude because they had an old guy show up in the first season when the Kings meet with everyone. And so I assumed it was him, but this young kid is as old as J. Harris, I think, is our guy. Yes, and he looks like Timothee Chalamet now. Yes. I was shocked how young he is. like that makes me think these guys are

going to buddy up and like really go to war together and i like him he has that good line when they're talking about the wall he's like what is the wall built for what does it keep out and he's like death immediately yeah you could almost hold it they don't do the cold opens with game of thrones i guess but it almost could have been a cold open where you hit the fucking theme right there, Breaking Bad style. Yeah, but he said he's like, you think we built a 700-foot wall for wildings and, you know, whatever? Death, bro. We're seeing the castle of Winterfell, the song of Winterfell, and then the accent, like the northern accent. They fucking made it move.

I was getting flashbacks, like waving the batters for the sarks back in the day and he got the fucking is that ice he has in his back yeah that was ice i did the real meme the point at screen i'm like that's ice and my girlfriend's like the hell are you talking about dude oh man i hope we get to see ice in action that was the one thing yeah other than like a batting or two yeah i like this stark too but when the targaryens come to him and they're like we need your help in this war obviously we're at war for the throne he offers him the senior tour i thought that was a crazy move he's like i'll give you the old guys that yeah the gray beard that's as much as i could give you almost like pawn star style that's all i got and like pawn stars they're like all right we'll take it oh yeah whatever we'll

take what we can get. For those of us here north of the wall, let me just tell you, there's fucking death on the other side. We're keeping the whole round fucking breathing. Go back to season eight if you want to rewatch that nonsense. That's some bad mamma jamma's coming down. Is my audio fucked? Some people in the chat

are saying my audio is fucked. Do I sound weird? It's popping out a few times. I don't know if it's you or someone else. One thing one thing that i'm doing it live one thing that i did notice in this scene that just made me hate the later seasons of thrones more they said that dragons don't go north of the wall which has been a big thing like even in the early seasons of thrones they mentioned like magical things have trouble passing through the wall but like all the denaris's dragons flew right fucking over there like we saw all of them we lost one over there and yeah but but when i think he said uh it might have been vagar like was like no i ain't going there and

this feels like george being like remind them it's going to be different when my books come out. I will say, though, the White Walker dragon was one of the coolest things. Oh, it was awesome. They broke the rules for that one. I'm OK with that. I was watching a HBO extra on season one where the showrunner, Ryan, I think it's condell was like i was really influenced by george's writing i was like you fucking better be man i really said it like it was some you know like i'm doing it differently it's like thank you let's let's stick with the guy who knows what the

he's talking about yeah like if you're inspired by quentin tarantino that's one thing but if you're doing george r martin's fucking story you better be like inspired by jesus christ um damon obviously right after the news of luke's death hits and it's being delivered via raven to everyone he's like let's fucking go to king's landing right now don't get off your dragon stay on the saddle let's go and rainus is like you gotta chill out she explains her side like she was last season she's like it's not really my war to fight here he's mad at her he's like you could have had the chance in the first place um she tries to explain the grief that rainier is going through finding out her son is dead via raven it's hard maybe it's just the bro and me but when damon is like we're going to, it's like, I know you're making good points. I don't want to hear right now.

We're going to war. Yeah. Dude, Reynos, that excuse, it's not my war to start. Fuck off. You could have just fucking waxed these people and just been done with this whole thing. It's one thing if you don't want to start the war and then you're going to play like Switzerland or whatever. But like, if you don't want to start the war and then you're gonna play like like switzerland or whatever but like if you're gonna be in the war like two seconds later you should

have just fucking iced those guys or flamed those guys in this case and said see you later that drives me absolutely crazy i get what she's saying but it's like we could have just been been done with this whole thing yeah um but rayna's point to everyone this this episode too he walks up to everyone he's like you fucking had a moment where you were behind a queen king too you could have got him you could have got him you could have got him rain is uh she's one bad mama jama but like i that that that always drove me so far if you're gonna break through the dragon pit wipe out a whole bunch of civilians to be honest yeah and then you have the chance to at least

get rid of you know a couple of the bad guys here you got to take that chance so uh damon is uh i'm almost like i was i was i was on damon's side there have you noticed that damon has like different voices i feel like when he's like being he's got like that accent really hits when he's being like kind of bad Damon and petty Damon it gets cunty yeah yeah he serves cunt every now and then

if Reynara had fucking Sir Memphis Bleak as her fucking hand of the king queen or whatever mind right money right ready for war that dude would have been lighting King's Landing on fire the minute her fucking son got chopped up goddamn disgrace all of them all of them except for our boy damon who again me and nick are riding for damon i'm fully aware he's gonna fuck us over at some point because he's known to do that i i've already like got my spin zones ready for today don Dude, again, on the rewatch season one,

like I was talking to Bob a couple weeks ago before I started watching, and I was like, I can't remember. Remind me what's going on with green and black. And I was like, man, if you're team green, you're fucking crazy. And then I started watching season one. I'm like, wait a minute.

Team black is a piece of shit too. What's going on? And then ultimately, yeah, I get why. It's like Team Green is kind of more, they're not very likable in the way they do it. But Damon and some of the things that go on with Team Black is just as fucking shitty. It's very, in a weird way, it's Succession-esque

where I think everybody's a piece of shit. Everybody's got something that they're doing that they're complete assholes. This is just the version from medieval succession, if you will. I picked Damon first, so I'm just going to ride with that until the very end

for the wheels fall off. He cut that guy's head in half. That was cool. We're just going to keep pushing. It's a weird show where we watch this guy because he thought his wife was ugly. By the the way she's a beautiful looking girl she's like you know very pretty girl yeah paralyzer smash her head in with a rock and we're all still like hey what's damon doing he's a pretty cool guy we don't know what their marriage

was like if she might have been mean to him yeah come on yeah by the way shout out to the small council in the chat they're uh chiming in peter says can clem see okay i'll answer for him no they're also telling us it's it's ray niece this is one thing we're gonna take a couple episodes to get the pronunciation back it's gonna get rid of the bike we'll get back into it one of my favorite things from uh the high council in the early part of it somebody somebody thought that this episode was slow and then the next comment was just dude they killed a fucking baby what are we talking about yeah i don't know and like as so far if anyone says they don't like the episode that's the response just they killed a

fucking baby but they didn't there's nothing not to like about this one there wasn't a single moment where i was like oh okay like this is slow or uh this was not necessary but we saw your boy uh lord corliss valerian as well he's getting his ship back out to sea and also he thanks this guy alan who saved his life one of those names that sounds a little funny in the game of thrones universe and they tell it you know thronesy they throw a y in there and shit but when he's like thanks alan it's like a l y n is thrones a l a n is like your neighbor in the suburbs who was like hey alan. Alan. Thanks for saving my life, Alan.

That was a little weird though. He was like that exchange was a little bizarre. I know if you watch the, you know, the preview for the season, he was in it strangling some fucking guy with the dreads. I don't know. Nick,

do you know who that guy is? Not that I'm aware of. Like I haven't heard of him yet. So we'll see what happens I have to admit Seeing my boy Corliss That basically just telling us he's getting washed up And it hurts

That's like seeing Patrick Hewitt with a magic jersey on Like I don't want to see Corliss Again if maybe this happens When they're all a little bit younger I don't know names very well Everyone with really white hair You know Reynis and her Their whole family when they're all a little bit younger. I don't know names very well. Everyone with really white hair, you know,

Reynis and her, like, their whole family. If they were younger, maybe there's a chance they wouldn't score. I just don't feel good about Team Black after tonight. I feel like things are going to go against us. And our boy Corliss is just hobbling out there.

His ship looks like shit. It's not good. Reminiscent of Viserys just slowly melting away season one do you guys remember how how much fun it was to be like episode seven he's still here that was awesome he's still going he's still alive just always thinking he was gonna die like i wish we could have put a line on it that was unbelievable we were betting what body parts he was gonna lose next episode yeah yeah my nanny was like that god bless her we thought she was going to die five times when we were ready it was like hey she's gone today and it was like we all got prepared you know and she she just pulled through every single time it was outrageous finalberg's grandfather did that for like six months this year he's still gone now rest in peace but they plan to fight

her all and everything like they do that sometimes yeah it's almost like one last practical joke and it's nice um agon he's looking for his son and he's talking to his fucking creepy sister wife whatever um and she says i'm not afraid of the dragons i'm afraid of the rats we know that this has to mean something crazy because she's right about all of her nostradamus-esque predictions she i forgot also forgot how creepy and perverted this whole situation is yeah oh yeah yeah i forgot that they were married i also when she first started talking i don't know if it was just me i didn't get they didn't show subtitles when she's muttering under her breath and i was like you need to show subtitles with this girl everything she says is some riddle like just let me know what she's saying so i know what to look out for yes she's uh you know brandon hirsch would be a great couple unbelievable together but that was another thing you know i missed in season one that

it was few and far between and she is always muttering. It feels like she's almost on the spectrum in ways. Everything she said came to be. Green versus blacks. The dragon in the basement. There's a dragon beneath the pit.

Obviously, we're talking about the rats. I thought it was going to be literally the rats, the plague. I don't know what it was gonna be like literally the rats the plague i don't know what it was gonna be but uh she it's like yo but you fucking you let it happen you had the you know what i mean so what good are your prophecies if you fucking let your babies get smashed yeah she's almost their versions of uh rainice see council i'm learning i got that one right where's she's staying out of the war she'll give her opinions here there but she's like i don't know i'm staying out of it it's tough

when you're a clairvoyant sooth senior though it's like does she even realize that she is do you think like do you think she's saying that stuff and then she knows like this is a prediction that's going to come true or she's just so spacey that yeah she's just kind of she probably doesn't know she's rainbag she's like yeah that'd be 35 food picks on the floor like she doesn't know what she's saying you just saying that makes that last scene even more disturbing she chose her son i didn't i was like wait is this the mom but it's the sister and i know they're the targaryens now that this has been confirmed fuck me i mean it's like it's fucked up if you point out your nephew don Don't get me wrong. Pointing out your son is an extra level of fucked up.

Bro, that, you know, like a literal Sophie's Choice where she's just like, when am I going to pick to die? I'm like, the whole time I'm thinking she's going to just like at least try to fight them or grab something from the fireplace and she's just like... Kev,

you know this. We love our kids the same, but you do like Kev you know this we love our kids the same but you do like one more or less at any given time whether they're just bothering you they're loud and it's like which one of us always does not let me sleep that kid doesn't eat his veggies and he gives me shit every single time we go out

like one scene before it's funny that I like he's doesn't eat his veggies because we should never single tapping back it up like one scene before uh it's funny that i like he he's in season one he's so depraved agon with kids and teeth and the nails and he's just like truly up there in in certain ways with like ramsay and joffrey and like the real bad this episode i was kind of laughing at him when when Lena is like you know talking her shit he's like where is he like just shut the up yeah enough with the pumpkins you know prophecies where's the baby I can't believe it made me laugh yeah put his brother in the council wants to hang with his boys by the throne talk shit he's kind of getting drunk on the throne was awesome like that that is just it's like yeah you want to be hanging out with that guy all the time that that felt a little successiony as well like

just you know like uh almost like um kieran calkins character you know just like yeah hanging out on the throne like hey i'm you'm, you know, I'm coming big time. Confession. Confession right now. You guys talking this through. Like, he's kind of the people's king. He's kind of like that dude, right? It's like he just like, hey, guys. It's like he's not just talking to his boys.

It's like he just maybe takes someone he sees at a tavern and be like, yo, come up to the throne tonight. We're just going to call me Aegon the Dragoncock. And we're going to have a certain thing. I'm starting to understand. I'm not saying I am Team Green, but I'm understanding why Team Green exists. Listen, Kevin, Team Black is where tonight.

No way around it. We have to wear it at the end of this episode. Yeah, it's tough. It's tough. The small council in the chat wants to know if Aegon's actually going to the bus and beer games. I heard he confirmed. We'll see.

He has another commitment. He might. There's like seven Aegon Targaryens at any given point. It may not be the king. It might be another Aegon Targaryen. He actually started his own ale games that he's going to be hosting.

Jump cut to Kristen Cole eating Allison's puss. They likely spend the next hour getting redressed they show us the tail end of it but you could tell she's handing him pieces of chain mail he's handing her pieces of fabric that they got a tie on she pretty much says like we can't do this again we can't do this anymore kristin cole he's been fucking snip snap snip snap he doesn't know what to do with the queens um and they head to the small council we actually see some rats and this was another agon line that i absolutely love this episode when they're like hey we haven't heard back from the north or the veil yet he just sits there and goes cunts yeah hysterical i was like all right

that's funny and they have the support of the baratheons. He's kind of more focused on his kid than the meeting. It was like, bring your kid to work day for him. They sculled Thailand. And again, he just wants this small council to be his boys. His brother walks in. The mother's like, what's your brother doing here? He can't be there. He's like, no, he can't.

I'm the king. He's my brother. He's my brother. He fights for me. Come on. That was some boar on the floor shit. Like, get up, get down. You're going to be a little horsey. I that guy was gonna have to do it i was like let me let me see

this fucking horse here that's a lannister right i would love to see that like knowing how proud they are later on it's like yeah but you're a great grandpa got rode like a horse yeah you thought you're tough shit that was me and uh kfc were in a comedy central commercial back in the day where him dave and big cat rode me clem and glenny balls as horses i got i remember faking we had to fake uh the gallop you know so we were like on top kind of like this and i've said it before i'll say again. I don't know who put this together in terms of the order. Big Cat was on me. I know. It was nuts.

That was fucked up. And you were real skinny back then. You were fresh. Could have killed me. Me and Glennie are two stallions and we're getting ruined by KFC and Dave. That was fucked up. The gif is still out there somewhere. Also, Amon's are two stallions and we're getting ruined by kfc and dave yeah that was that was that was

fucked up uh the gif is still out there somewhere um also amon's uh smiling in this scene when allison mentions like the death of uh luke and he just like she looks over at him and he just gives her a smirk like yeah i did that shit fucked up and it was also pretty cool when he came back into king's landing a little earlier than this on the dragon and you saw everyone prepare with the fucking oh shit a dragon and then they're like false false alarm it's vagar this is almost uh wien's world best game on i remember the scorpion from the end of of yeah the episodes we shall not speak of was that a book thing though the scorpion because the the big gigantic crossbow because i remember when they talked about it later on on the show it was like pretty pretty cool but i was like uh it was that

because they've said like dragons cannot be stopped by like anything and then they were like we actually have this gigantic fucking bow and arrow that kind of works pretty well so i wasn't sure if that was made up or not i think in the show they had said like we found old like records of it because people had like hidden it but i i don't know if it's in the show they had said like we found old like records of it because people had like hidden it but i i don't know if it's in the books or not i feel like the chat is saying yeah okay the chat's saying scorpions are totally a book thing also yeah one of those great names i love that did they show a aegon when he like first came back? Because he was smiling and he was like, yeah, I did that shit. Maybe at this point –

They show him flying in, but they don't show – When he's in the air and he's trying to call off Aegon. And when it happens at first, he's like, oh, fuck. Fuck, I did not mean to do that. But now he's kind of like, yeah, I did that shit. So I don't know if that's just because a little bit of time has passed and it's like whatever war is war here we go but i thought it was going to be more of like uh i wasn't trying to do that sort of thing but

like too late to go back on it now yeah he's all about it now yeah he didn't um larry games for a whole week you know it's kind of like uh with terry's millen or whatever his name no video games for a whole week and he like remembered that his eye was missing he's like fuck my cousin whatever yeah also laris the resident pervert loves the the feet this guy he just walks up to the queen allison and he kind of just like slips her like oh i tried to visit you before but i heard you were having sex i know you had sex today how about that and he's like i got rid of all the rats and uh i've chosen your whole new staff personally but then when she goes to take a bath with i guess the new staff or some of the new staff she sends them away she just wants alone time to which i

ask you guys if you're the king or the queen of this realm how much alone time do you get i bet it's not a lot probably little to none she had almost only at night working on her just to do just to just take a bath i don't think you're and she was very chill out i don't need this i'll tell you what though you know when apparently you're alone when two guys break in to kill your fucking baby it was not a guard in sight i mean it's probably because that little piece of shit little bitch sir kristen cole was getting his ridden. But not a guard to be seen anywhere the fuck else. What is this? Like you said, somebody's with you at all times.

Apparently not now. Christian Cole is such a fucking cunt. I hate that cunt so fucking much. Fuck that cunt and his stupid cunty face and his little cunt. I hate him. He's demon monetized. It was worth it, though. It was worth it for that rant. He deserves it.

Cunt, cunt, cunt! Three more! In the hierarchy of villains, he's not chopping dicks off and flaying people and stuff like that, but he's just so smarmy and fucking, it's like, get over it, dude. Like 20, 30 years ago, you know, your little teenage girlfriend chose somebody like, shut up. He's on this whole fucking psychopath lifestyle all because of Rainier like a billion years ago. Get over it, fucking loser.

I don't think it's an accident that they always show him they never show him he's he's not on top he's always going down on her there he's always a submissive like little he's a pussy about a good point episode five he's even getting pegged and he also he looks like the fucking cover of a romance novel and he's walking around but the one woman i like doesn't like me shut up dude go to a brothel like a normal dude she was like palm in the back of his head when you know she was like get her to that dress you little bitch i'm surprised he didn't suffocate it's crazy oh man uh in man. In the small accounts of Vito Lagazza just said, Christian Cole is the Stephen Shea of his time.

That's a tough break for Stephen Shea. Stephen Shea does like, you know, he likes to go downtown more than Steph Curry. So I understand that's the... Cole was eating it like straight. That's right. And sad news. I mean, we're talking very funny stuff right now,

but some dragon wings wash up on the shore. And the saddest scene of the episode, I would say, maybe one of the saddest scenes, is when Rhaenyra just finds it and kind of accepts the death. She weeps for a while. People on the beach just kind of watch the queen weep there. There's a scene later on that might be sadder, but obviously this one is well played.

And then Aegon the Magnanimous. That is his new name. Makes his entrance to the whole room, the big room, the fucking throne room. And magnanimous, I looked it up because they said, who knows what magnanimous is? I'll give you the definition so everyone here knows what it means. Generous or forgiving, especially toward a rival or less powerful person. I knew you didn't know that. When you're the king, i don't think you want

that though you don't want generous and it plays out in the scene where he literally is kind of generous like someone comes up and he's like hey you took my sheep can i have him back he said yeah totally auto's like dude you can't do that like what do you have another funny line in that do where he's like who's gonna find out yeah you're the king i'm confused by, by this, like maybe I just misread him, but like the first season is like, he's literally throwing kids to the wolves and like, and I know he was like,

I don't really want to be King, but it was more like a, it wasn't like a, I'm like this laid back guy who just doesn't know how it works it was i don't know the fact that he was like yeah like when he was up there the coronation you saw the smile and like ray nice maybe maybe scared of maybe yeah like my life like that true then this this this the whole uh petition thing he was being magnanimous. He was being friendly. The fact that the hand of the king, Otto,

had to be like, stop it. Toughen up to a guy who I thought was supposed to be this psychopath killer. Maybe I just don't know. Maybe there's more to Aegon than I realized. He stinks as a king. He's the people's king, but he stinks

as an actual king when it comes to like the bottom line as his fucking hand had to tell him i'm just i'm just prepping you guys for this we're gonna fall in love with a god in the next episode i'm just i'm not a book reader i don't know anything happens i'm just guessing the fact that team green exists and i guarantee he's not gonna be pussyfooting around looking for like every clue exists and i guarantee he's not been pussyfooting around looking for like every clue about his dead kid he's gonna be like we gotta match fire and fire let's go fuck some shit up while rene is out crying looking at dragon wings i'm sorry for the loss he was done but what the fuck was that entire fucking team black doing you didn't sound

sorry for that loss i'm not sorry i was being You're right you caught me Yeah I do feel like the people are going to fall in love With him but like while they're all loving him It's like the common Fault especially after this It's pretty hard to be like yeah we're going to team up With the kid killers but I well I guess he

Killed the kid too His brother did It's hard to keep track but if they do end up loving him the whole time he's gonna be bankrupting the whole fucking game yeah because he's just giving away everything so people like him that that that one guy who who was like uh my sheep are gone and he's like you can have them go back and watch that guy's reaction he's like it was almost like he was like let me get out of here before he changed his mind and then he did change his mind and he has a great devastated reaction when they're like no he's

like what oh no i had it though he talks he's like did you hear him like yeah someone in the chat with an american flag picture just wrote egg on the lib i'm telling you guys, Otto's going to be like, patience, patience. He's going to be like, fuck you, grandpa. And he's going to, and we're all, I'm paving the ways for like at least understanding team three.

I'm telling you. I really, that's why I think the show is awesome. Like, everybody sucks. And every, at every turn,

you're like, I like that guy. Well, he did that and she's cool, but she fucked up there. And, and like, yeah, you're like, I like that guy. Well, he did that. And she's cool. But she fucked up there. And, like, yeah, I would have said I'm firmly, you know, Damon and Rhaenyra. But now, you know, Rhaenyra is not going to like this move, by the way. She wanted him.

She wanted the literal eye for an eye. She wants Aemon. Yeah, Aemon. And that's it. She doesn't want a fucking baby of another you know another couple basically just slaughtered so i'm not thinking i don't think that's going to be a good when he's like hey look who i got she's gonna be like what the fuck are you thinking you asshole kevin you're saying i for not talking about amin it's kind of insensitive in itself

now you're kind of making us all look bad, man. Laris pulls the king aside after this nice, generous meeting, and he just throws Otto under the bus. He's like, Otto is your dad's hand. I don't think he should be your hand, essentially. He's getting his fucking fingers in a lot of stuff.

Be your own man. Be your own king. And then Otto alice meet up and this gets a bit heated this is i feel like one of those really important scenes later on we're going to look back all of the scenes where he's giving her the actual kind of life strategy on what to do wound up being important season one she feels like she's being undermined in front of everyone by him he's trying to make sure she knows like the path to victory is violence he's like we have to like this is going to get ugly and there's even a scene later on where um amand is like kind of like he doesn't respect his mom because she has a little bit of love for the other side and i think this is auto kind of like being like we can't have that like

you got to cut it off here or at war no no half measure shout out mike ermantraut like that that was i think one of my favorite scenes of season one one of like the most powerful scenes was when she's still young and otto's getting banished and she's basically like i didn't want this to happen like i i you know and he's like you well you did you chose wrong you up and now i'm gone and you better either drop to your knees and say i'm sorry i love you And he's like, you fucking, well, you did. You chose wrong. You fucked up. And now I'm gone. And you better either drop to your knees and say, I'm sorry, I love you, or fucking let's get ready for war. And then there's a scene later in season one when she does some sneaky shit, I think sets everyone on fire and all that shit. Otto is like, I didn't know you.

What's the Shaq meme? Like, forgive me. I didn't know your game so i thought that like we were alice it was like already well on the path to being like cersei-esque you know i don't fuck around but yeah she still kind of seems to have like a little bit of that that weakness and for real you can't have that when you got all sorts of kids and brother kids and brother brother children and niece nephew uncle things you gotta you gotta you know there is no room for like well let's not be too mean yeah they're psychopaths

though everyone in the family is like a bigger psychopath than the next person so that's the other thing is it's not just your normal family of incestual relationships they're also psychopaths well that tends to be with the incest i think people in the south don't agree but we'll leave it there um uh corliss valerian their men uh board an enemy ship the white worm is a stowaway on this ship kind of forgot about the white worm in the last one year seven months and 23 days as well but she was a bitch she was a real bitch she was feeding information and secrets to otto last season a lot of secrets to him damon almost completely blames her for everything that has happened because she set off this chain of events um she claims she doesn't know much about otto and

his plans anymore he's trying to trade some knowledge for her freedom um and again he's just yelling at everyone for not killing agon when they had the chance. It's like if you were within 100 feet of him at any point, you are to blame for the war. Daemon also, for a guy who literally does only what he wants and what serves him, he has some nerve running around telling people like, why didn't you do this for me? Why didn't you do that for me? It's like, dude, you don't do a fucking thing for anybody else. I don't know why you expect that sort of treatment in the first place i do think it's funny that white worm there's like three or four moments again in season one where like if if one person made a different

decision everything's fine yeah everything like first of all if they made rain east queen none of this happens if if sir kristin cole doesn't talk shit in the in the uh in like the square so then like the the bastard stuff is all public that none of this happens and and and again there um what did you just say it was another oh yeah oh the white worm if she doesn't tell him where the the the prince is like all all of this shit just goes away. It all hinges on the littlest fucking things. She did him dirty, though. I feel like

they had a thing. She should have been a little more loyal, no? Yeah. Just for some money, at least come back to me and be like, listen, Otto's going to give me a bag. You want to give me more? Yeah, exactly. At least give me the counteroffer. Give him that option. But you know what?

If you go to Damon's bag, he's cutting your head off probably. Fast. Or sending you back with no tongue or he's doing something fucked up. If he's in hoodie mode, you're done. Hoodie mode.

Damon is demon time. He gets crazy when he throws the hood on. Remember Hoodie Mellow, Kev? Whenever he's in the gym, like, Hoodie Mellow next to the championship this year. You know what? It does actually feel like Hoodie Anakin, though. He's got that hood on.

Oh, yeah. This next sequence, my favorite scene in the episode, this entire next maybe two or three minutes, Rhaenyra returns. Everyone immediately is just going into their war strategy plans. They're like, all right, nice. The queen is back. We're prepping this for this. The Starks are giving us this, this whatever and she just gets there she says i want amen

targaryen it's her only line the whole episode and she delivers it with is that true that's all she said all episode it's all she needs to say to have that presence felt and i even love the like extension of going into is is it Jacerys? I don't know. I'm probably pronouncing that wrong. But he comes in to tell his mom, hey, we're getting this from the Starks. This is what so-and-so pledged. And he can't even get through it without crying.

It's such a great performance. And he starts weeping, seeing him crying, gives him a big hug. They're crying together. That was incredible. Like the acting on both of their parts, I thought was out of this world. Dude, you know what I was thinking? Thrones does child acting better than like any show ever every other show that has kids it's always like either really like laughable or at least like this is the whole it's the whole in this show you just got to put up with

like some some bad child actors these fucking kids especially last season can act they're all like real good i wouldn't even call this guy a kid. He's younger. When they were pups, there was a lot of really, really good acting there. Robbie and I are watching a Star Wars show called The Acolyte, and the child actors on it make us want to crawl.

Twins, I don't know if it's the same person. I want to crawl out of my skin. I heard the Acolyte's absolutely atrocious. That's it. That's a bit extreme. But if you're not a diehard Star Wars fan, you're probably not going to like it at all. Well, let me tell you something. If you are a diehard Star Wars fan, they're probably making fun of it, too, because that's a diehard Star Wars fan.

Unfortunately, nobody hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans. The Rotten Tomatoes score of it is currently lower than the Star Wars Holiday Special. But that being said, there's a movie that came out in 2006 called The Acolyte and that Rotten Tomatoes score has also dropped drastically. That's awesome.

Some actors, producers, and directors are like, what the fuck, man? They're like, fuck, we had it going for so long. People were watching us on streaming. Now they're not. That's awesome. Good scene, though. Really good scene. Oh, but just to go back.

I think Ray Nero being so singularly focused on A-Mond, you can't do that. I understand why. But there's so much bigger at play that like if you were to you know compromise your your battle plans or whatever just to get him like that's that will come back to bite you especially if he's like the best soldier and all the king the best fighter in all the kingdoms and has the biggest dragon in all the kingdoms you're just gonna have to let that one you know sit for Or come up with an actual plan to kill him

that isn't put in the hands of some rat catcher. Yeah. I'm still, again, when they have that scene where they're like, we can't send the dragons because then we'll lose the dragons. And it's like, well, you're at war. Now's the time to use the dragons. Yeah.

I understand what you're saying like you can't use them willy-nilly but also you know it's like you're keeping kevin mccallister keeping his rollerblades in the box you gotta use you gotta put them on use them you know wear your sneakers man it's like why even have these guys you got to use them wisely but if you got vagar start fucking shit up if you got an army of dragons let's go baby yeah it's almost like nuclear it's almost like nukes you know it's like like dragons like the cold war it's like oh wait whoa whoa whoa we don't yeah use them we were just like hoping you guys would keep you know stay fucking i guess that worked for hundreds of years

that the targaryens were peaceful for so. But now it's time to fucking go. They hold a funeral for Luke, a cliffside funeral. And the way they shot and edited this was cool because while they're burning his body and doing the traditional, I guess, Targaryen funeral, you see Alicent lighting candles in church and she, at the end, lights one for him. And that was a cool, like, her pulse still

and her morals are being stretched and she still she doesn't want to kill kids but they're in the kid killing business at this point it's like ah you're killing kids you got to kill kids now uh damon takes a boat towards the castle great scene with this medieval bouncer who i guess his name is blood we have blood and cheese um cheese being the rat catcher guy pervert um and he's like i know the keep better than i know meal and cock it's like all right pervert like we don't need to hear that from you cheese i don't even want to know what that fucking weird perverted cock looks like and uh blood has a great line too where uh damon walks up to him right away and he's like i hear you don't like the high towers

fuck the high towers he's almost like oh another guy yeah fuck the the Hightower. So he's almost like, oh, another guy. Yeah, fuck the Hightower. So they go in. He gets paid to kill Aemond, obviously. And they have this whole strategy getting in the bowels of the castle. They see Aegon getting drunk, the whole dragon cock scene. And then they put a knife

to Helaena's throat. They don't listen to the fucking one command. He's got a giant one eye and silver hair. He's hard to miss, they said. And they look at two baby cradles, and they're like, which one is it? Which one's the boy?

And as we've kind of, we talked about a little earlier, you know, they fucking kill a baby. They slice the head off. They saw it off. It's a bad noise. As they're sawing it off, she makes a run for it with the other baby. They don't really give a shit about her. And she just walks into the room where Alice and Kristen call yet again, again fucking she says they killed the boy that's the end of the episode

the way uh the way he he cheese has her the knife to her throat and he's like dude we need a son not a girl and he's like no look look look like all gleeful and excited yeah look what i found oh you motherfucker and i thought it was gonna be a kidnapping or i don't know you know throw him out a window or put him in the drown him in the water put a pillow over his face the winching slicing welching oh that was that was a lot of people are saying they killed the wrong kid in the chat is that true i mean obviously they killed the wrong person was it was it the was it the boy did she because i mean it is it's hard to tell them apart with their haircuts yeah she and it was such a point of the scene like she points and he's like oh she you know it's the old I know that you know

that I know that you know sort of thing like you wouldn't point to your son so that I went over there but he's like no no she did that they I don't think that they would do that if it was not at least to make you you know maybe consider that what what a comment in the in the chat I'm sorry it just says not doing a cock check before cutting a head off is wild I actually thought we were going to have another moment of humor where the guy's like I'm not doing that I'll chop his fucking head off

yeah I'm not a pervert come on oh my god that is some comment this show I mean the show cultivates comments like that. It's, it's. In fact, that's a normal comment. But yeah, it's an actual like good point.

Yeah. Yeah. I will say you did point at my, my one defense for our boy Damon. He said the I thing, man. Oh shit. I forgot. Oh, he got the thumbs up there. He said the I, and he said he's a good fighter there's no way that that guy

like how do they forget those two things they just heard boy and we're like all right let's go kill the boy but like we said the two idiots biggest idiot that is the thing too yeah like i guess there's not like amazing hitmen you can hire back then i mean it would be like maybe damon would be like maybe Damon would be that guy but it seems like they hired the two dumbest people in all yeah it was like a bebop at Rocksteady yes they were just buffoons yeah because he's the people's king the people don't want to turn on their king I have to keep reminding you guys this I don't want to kill his kids and he loves that's the thing is he loves that kid too like they really hammered home he just is letting him ride lancer's if he wants like he's just

struck dude i as like a parent i'm like yo i hate when my kids do this i'm just like stop doing that and they just keep doing the same thing over and over again and they they were like you said the kid absolutely crushed me speaking of crushing i i hate to do this for a guy who i hate so much christian colt might be have to be known as the queen slayer because he took out both the girls in this show yeah no he's getting slayed like we talked about yeah he is the fucking worst listen i'll let you like damon i'll let you even like agon you sick fuck if you start to try to come on this goddamn show week to week and you try to defend and befriend sir kristin cole i'm out on the whole fucking show

what about you guys give me the rock roll. Give us a rock and roll concert. Leisure show in the background. Hell yeah. The rat looks so good in the background. In the foreground. It's a rock and rat right there. That's awesome. That was the season two premiere of house of the dragon though

i'm so happy we're back i feel like it both feels like yesterday that we were doing the show and i was like oh we'll be back maybe in two years if we're still alive in two years but it also feels like it was like forever ago so it's nice to be back in the basement with the high council in the chat um it's it's a nice way to decompress after you watch some babies getting killed. 8 episode season instead of 10 sucks. I think they said every episode is around 60 minutes so it's not even one of those things where they give us an hour and a half episode to make up for it.

They tried to say that was because of story writing which never made sense in the first place because you could just make the story work between 8 and 10. So that was definitely like a budget cut sort of thing. So I just hope I almost feel like responsible. I'm like thinking back to season one when we were like, yeah,

no, it's good. When we should have been like beating the drum, like, yo, drones is fucking back. Like it's just as good as those early episodes. So everybody go.

People were telling us that's like a prologue. Everyone is saying the real shit starts season two. The real war starts season two after the time jump, which no time jumps this season. No actor changes. Hopefully we'll get Trent back on. It'll be easier for him to come in. And that's not a shot at him.

He was just very anti-time jump last season. Do we have MVPs and LVPs for this episode? I don't know. I don't remember if we did that last year. Do we have like awards that we do every episode or not? Honestly, Agon would be my MVP for this episode. He made me laugh more than anybody. I know I can't believe it, but he really is.

I'm with you. Because, yeah, I think everyone else. And then as far as LVP. I mean Blood and Cheese Definitely They almost take it on their own If you want to do other than those two guys Blood and Cheese

If I had the time and the skill Somebody should make like a Buddy cop remix You know when they make like scary movies Look like funny movies and shit like that Blood and Cheese combo where they're like, you know, the buddy cops trying to like stumble around to get the job done.

Maybe the dog talks like Scooby. I would say LVP. The chat here in the small council, Michael Coleman said LVP is a dead baby. Didn't get to ride the horse and then die. You know what? That's a pretty bad stat sheet.

That's the Tony style. Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero. Zero horses ridden. Zero life. Oh, we're talking about a dead baby. Good times. Thanks, George R.R. Martin. Blood and cheese. Aim for the bushes.vin in the chat great oh my god

that's great i've been i've been trying to avoid like stuff about the season i told myself i was gonna read the book and then i don't know a year and seven months went by fast uh the yeah i didn't realize the book's a thousand pages and it's and it's and the way it's told is like in like a history it's like very strange yeah it's like a textbook you have to be like really real yeah i've heard the audiobooks are a good like you can almost bridge the gap a lot of people say if you just go audiobook it gets a little easier but even that it's like the description is so yeah everything's so descriptive. I just get to the point.

I saw on the high council said before too, they said that the murder of the baby is much more given in detail in the book. I've been hearing about blood and cheese and like seeing it and I'll like scroll past something. I didn't hear of that.

I like have avoided it completely. So I don't know how gory it gets. I'm a little worried. Blood and cheese sounds like that is the dead baby. Like what happens when you kill a baby? It's blood and cheese. I feel even worse about it than I did before now. I can't believe I'm going to do this.

I'm going to do this. I never thought I'd do this on a live stream, let alone tell friends. But how do you fit a thousand dead babies into a phone booth oh no how you know this one kevin yeah i can't remember that with a wood chipper yeah how do you get them out of the phone booth oh no how with uh tosito scoops i heard that when i was like pretty young and i was just like oh i like i couldn't sleep for days dude the dead baby joke revolution was a moment in time i don't know if you were around for it bob but like anthony i don't think i was to be honest that then yo mama jokes were at the same time where it was just like what's the most horrendous shit we could say about your loved ones

or kids and like yeah how do you paint a wall like or how do you paint a wall with that baby depends how hard you throw or something like crazy shit talk about demonetized we might be dark web exclusive this is bad We need to end this show before I let further dead baby jokes go forward. Even Clem's making dead baby jokes. I'm a talking rat, Bob. I can say whatever I want. He's wearing an adorable arts and crafts project from his wife, the most wholesome guy of our school,

and then he makes the Tostitos scoops joke. Oh, my. We're not getting them as a sponsor to tell you that much. I was going to say, I love how we're demonetizing. We're losing so much money and all of our sponsors are going to put money away. We're losing during this. You might as well shut the dozen down this week.

All right. Thank you to everyone for tuning in this week. I really appreciate it. It's great to be back and hopefully we'll be back in bigger and better next week. Love you guys. Hopefully no more bad babies.
