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 Barstool Sports and My Mom's Basement. We are back for another House of the Dragon recap. House of the Dragon Season house of the dragon season two episode two it is i house house uh excuse me is i octagon house fox back as always with kfc and this week we are not only with clem but we are with clan clem with a k clem with a c very Clem with a C. Very basic, guys. Amazing that I was able to find someone that looks just like me this time of night to really hammer home the Eric versus Eric fight.

So thanks for coming on, Clem. Thanks for having me. This is tremendous. You never know what you're going to get with the Clem household and their costume bin. And every week they knock it out of the parkm household and their costume bin. Every week, they knock it out of the park on basically no notice at all. It's incredible. I see your costumes

have arrived. Do you have a chandelier in the back, Kevin? The costume didn't come with the wig. That's a bait and switch, man. It just came with the jacket. He's wearing the wig in the picture, though. Yes. It's bullshit.

But you know what? My wig, this year, my wig sucks. I need to get the wig that I had last season because I threw that out. I moved in between, and that got thrown out in the move. And then I ordered this one. It showed up. I look like Cindy Lou Who with the fucking swoop at the bottom. You look just like a white woman.

Yeah, I know. Yeah, it's kind of nice. Johnny T plus eight, like a woman like that. Barely thrones at all. I thought we had a pretty good episode this week. I will warn everyone in the chat. If I miss anything, it was a hard episode to take notes and watch during because it was so dense. There were so many conversations during this episode where i was like oh i'm gonna have to go back and re-watch that to

really get the motivations and the politics and the chess moves that are happening did you guys feel the same way about i guess how much you had to pay attention during this episode yeah i think there's a lot of pieces starting to move. I think this happened in Thrones too. And you're not going to get the payoff of a lot of it for probably another few episodes. So at this point you're just trying to keep pace. So I'm just have stuff in my notes, like Amen,

cool guy, not a great King. I don't hot tower is such a cunt, you know, just stuff like that. So that's been this, this, this series though is what I like about it is like,

it's dense as fuck. Like I said before, every single scene matters. There were times in Game of Thrones where you could turn on the Mets game and watch because Ari is just sweeping the floors again for the millionth time. And this one feels like every single scene matters. Every single conversation matters. Hold on. I i gotta stop you there are you saying in house of the dragon you can't do two things at once you can't watch the

mets in house of the dragon you gotta have your dragon the people with people with brains this big can't do two at once i saw edwin diaz getting kicked out as two fucking twins fought to the death it's very easy to do guys and my I'll give you my take on Edwin Diaz before we got to believe on Thursday. That motherfucker should be putting sticky stuff in him, PEDs, the shit that A-Rod was using, Barry Bonds, more drugs and

sticky stuff, the better. I want 2022 Diaz back. Inject him with fucking the trumpet song, whatever it takes to get the best year of my life as a closer. Let's do that. That's my take on fucking Edwin Diaz for one of 160 games. You fucking brain dead morons. I don't even think we mentioned it last week,

but it is insane that after all of the drama of last season and not last Mets season, last house of the dragon season and what went down with the Mets and Barstool and Dave getting involved, dragons becoming this phrase that we throw around like this. It's crazy that the Mets did Dragons Night this year. They had dragons in the ballpark, banners up and everything. They were a full-blown marketing machine for them.

I apologize. I didn't see that. I was a little hungover from the championship celebration out in Chicago. That's right. I apologize. I didn't see that. I was a little hungover from the championship celebration out in Chicago. That's right. King Clem. I apologize. Congratulations. King Clem.

He came back to the basement with some hardware. Doesn't champ Clem right here. That's my response to anyone that wants to talk about dragons and the guy who started the whole movement. When it doesn't trophy, then we can talk. The mic drop. It's a sword drop um let's dive into the episode we begin with agon smashing up that miniature kingdom which has to feel good i know he's devastated in this moment right now but you know it goes back to being like three years old stomping on blocks pretending you're godzilla i saw him smashing that kingdom up i was like that probably feels great he's screaming i declare war amen finds this little coin under the table

in the opening am i an idiot for not remembering what that was i didn't know either so i think they're just kind of happening like i mentioned that's like the currents i don't know if there's a difference in currency but it's probably these jews got paid for this very well to do whatever they did so he's probably being like who would? Who has the money to pay someone to murder a baby in there? So he's trying to figure it all out. I thought it was an awful and wild move. You can't be destroying

your dead grandpa's Lego set. I mean, those are you know, you know his grandkids how much he loved his little toys and Legos. That was his shit. And if what was the king's name? The old guy who was falling apart? Viserys. If he was like a meaner

dude, he would haunt them for doing that. That's how you got a ghost in your house that haunts you. Somehow, someway, he's like the nicest, kindest soul we ever met in this show. So he's not going to do it. But any other fucking Thrones character would have haunted your ass for ruining his Lego set. Which, by the way, before that, not putting the headless baby on the tapestry this week was very much appreciated by me. That would have haunted your ass for ruining his Lego set. Which, by the way, before that, not putting the

headless baby on the tapestry this week was very much appreciated by me. That would have been like the little just baby with its head chopped off. I didn't want to see that in the opening credits. Kev, did you watch the opening credits this week? I didn't. Oh, you still haven't even seen what we're talking about? This is like this

there are minutes of Thrones you haven't seen. I thought him smashing up the lego set was about as heavy-handed symbolism as you can get of like old nice king dead new mean king here let's fuck it you know it's over now so uh yeah definitely like a changing of the guard moment for sure i also love anyone watching the video version of this show sees it when clem puts on the costumes every week it's so last minute that it's clem versus the costume every week i don't think he realizes how much of his struggle some of these costumes will be he's fighting the costume as he's ran talking about edwin diaz and the dragons from one angle too from the angle below

me on video this almost looks like a hockey player this looks like a house of dragons character this almost looks like a hockey player with a helmet on like in the midst of the playoffs he's not shaving that beard it looks like let's go oilers yeah it looks like a uh of a football helmet from like the 40s when they just wore like leather straps on their head. That's great. There we go. Yeah. It's a mask there. Otto Hightower is trying to reassure Alison.

And in this crazy scene, he's like, ah, I think some good may come of this, you know, crazy. That was, that was one of the more dark moments.

Otto being like, now hear me out. It's not exactly the worst thing in the world where's a little bit of a silver lining here I mean he's not wrong you know what he was saying is true but maybe give it a minute before you start uh you know using the dead baby for uh to posture in your war at this point they hadn't even found the head so that just there's a headless baby and he's already like it's not the worst like you said it's not the worst he definitely was upset that they found that too he's like shit this would have made such a bigger impact

if we just had a little neck bone sticking out like like that's what he was looking for like god damn it he's hulk he's like oh he's, I see this as an absolute win. It's like, yo, my son just got decapitated in his crib. Otto Hightower is such a cocksucker, man. But, like, the only person worse in the entire show is the guy banging his fucking daughter. It's crazy. Mm-hmm. Kristen Cole. The slander going on on Kristen Cole on the Twitter timeline tonight warmed my heart.

It felt like we were live tweeting a show together. Everyone on the timeline was tweeting like, fuck Kristen Cole. He's the worst. He was trending number one in the world. Trending number one. It's just Kristen was number one. Here's a question for you. Is there a single person alive who's team Kristen Cole?

On the 8 billion people in this world, is there someone out there who is like, fucking, I'm team Kristen Cole? I don't know. I don't think so. Nothing in this world is zero or 100, but I think there might not be a single one of them. I hope not. I i gotta be honest i found

out this week that we have someone team green within our ranks at barstool connor griffin out in chicago apparently a huge team green guy and he's a nerd too he's a huge star wars guy like he's in the weeds with this shit. I think he tweeted before the episode, like team green, here we go. Another week. So I don't know if he's, you know,

team Kristen necessarily, but like he might be, we gotta, we gotta keep an eye on Connor. The problem is with the black and the green right now. I said this before and it's, it just keeps proving true. I'm team Rainier.

That's it. That's the only person. And, and Eric or Eric, Eric, whichever fucking, you know. Because team black at this point, you got a lump Damon in there, and he's a fucking, you know, baby decapitator. So, like, nobody's really good. But overall, you know, if you made me pick a color, I'm picking black. And I certainly wouldn't publicize if I was team green, you sick fuck.

Kevin. Oh, the chat does bring up Will Compton's a team green guy as well. Kevin, Nick and I would like to tell you that Damon is not a baby killer. It was a misinterpretation. Honest mistake happens to the best of us. It's not a mistake. It was a mistake. It was a mistake.

Bro, that was like he could stand at a mistake. That was like, he stands at that moment like, oops, I didn't mean to. It's not really my fault. Clem, I was going to text you. I was going to be like, how are we doing this? I don't know how we're doing this. Coordinated defense.

He just kept saying, that was a mistake. What are we going to do? Is that frowned upon? I'm sorry. I didn't know. I got to plead ignorance on this one. They were very clear instructions.

Like he said, very clear instructions. Very clear. Just don't. I love this scene. Agon knows that this was the work of Team Black, obviously. He's like, you know, everyone in the room is like well let's you know let the investigation set he's like i know who this was it was team black obviously i for an i type deal uh he screams kristen gold cole for being a bed i love that you are a bad you are a

bad i love that phrase um auto is like just bitch queen of the bastards. That one fucking hit. It's that bitch queen of the bastards. I like when he goes, Kristen Cole, where were you? And I'll tell you, there was one response that would have made this guy right here the only Kristen Cole fan in the world. And I'll tell you, I would have been the last. If he goes, smell my breath.

And then it's like, it's your mama. That's where I was. I was eating your mama's pussy. And he wasn't banging her. She was banging him. Let's call a spade a spade for our boy. You know, our anti-boy, Kristen. People are like, oh, what is he doing?

He's getting fucked. And someone goes, when she's riding like that, you just let her take control, brother. Otto, immediately. Sometimes the dragon rides you you know yeah exactly auto is the pr man of the realm he might be the first pr man ever in the realm he's got the whole smear campaign already locked and loaded he's like we're gonna blame it on rainera i don't care what the investigation says no matter what it's rainera agon's already seen his week that was a cold bond too and he's like i don't want the people to see me as weak.

He's like, they already see you as weak. Oh, that hurts. And he convinces Aegon, just wait it out. He's like, don't go to war right now. If we run this smear campaign, maybe we get double the army by the time we actually go to war because everyone feels so bad for you. Rhaenyra is the baby killer. We got to put on a funeral funeral make a big show of it felt very um uh almost like hunger gamesy when the capital is like let's put on a show for the people

go out there and you know have a parade make make it look like your lovers or whatever i'll tell you my new favorite thing in the world i got from the scene uh iron lord that dude has the name iron lord i think it's iron lord jasper which again the name jasper just made me laugh out loud but got with iron lord like i can't laugh at that dude so yeah that was awesome and it it's pretty sick and twisted because then you think about all this crazy shit that happens in politics like in our world in present times and how these motherfuckers just will spin the worst shit ever and then their people just follow it it really is like it's eye-opening kind of dude i mean they they had the chant going as the funeral starts.

Like, this is Rhaenyra. This is Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra, the cruel kinslayer. Good ass fucking PR work by everybody. Bitch queen of the bastards, the kinslayer. Laris, clubfoot pervert, comes in. He informs Aegon they've found one of the suspects. He's like, we've got one of them.

He was wearing the gold cloak. He was fleeing the kingdom. It's blood. So he gives Damon up right away. He tells him, you know, he paid us half before. He was going to pay us half afterwards. Agon just comes down to club him. We've got what we know from him.

He also revealed he was with the rat catchers. That comes into play later on when you see all the rat catchers hung up. He gives up the one and, you A-Gon takes that as many. Yeah, tough look for the rat catchers out there. Our boy Blood, now, when they said we caught one, I mean, minus 3,000 was Blood. Not exactly as big as you. Pretty big. But, like, you got to show, like, you cut the baby's head.

You have to run to the point where you guys ever run where you're so scared you didn't even know your feet would stay under you? What are you doing? Like, how do you get caught with the goddamn hair in your hands? Like, all the time. Bad word. I was – I thought we were going to get some Ramsey Bolt in there. I was surprised that that was a quick one and done. They laid out the – that you could hear the metal, like, unrolling, and you know he's got all the torture weapons.

And he's like, I don't, you know, I won't do it, but I can't, I can't say what the king's gonna do. I thought we were gonna get, you know, some of the nasty shit. And it was just one and done. I wonder if he'll get to that point. Like, and also, it's hard to bring a character to that point without getting the comparisons to Ramsey or Joffrey at this point like how do they make him that's super fucking hateable I mean also the answer is probably killing babies they'll probably kill more babies that's what they do on the show when in doubt House of Dragons seems to go with the baby killing so I would say there's gonna be

more baby killing but yeah you can, I don't even blame him. Like I'd be fucking, I'd be torturing somebody if they just chopped my baby's head off. So like, you know, the other guys were, you know, Ramsey and Joffrey were doing it for like fun and sport. If you know,

there's a lot of other stuff at play, but in a vacuum, Agon being like, I'm going to torture you and murder you and bash your head off with a mace. That fair play, fair play blood deserved to get his head murder you and bash your head off with a mace. Fair play. Fair play. Blood deserved to get his head, you know, maced off.

You don't make psychopaths like Joffrey and Ramsey. They're boring. That's like linebackers. They say like linebackers are boring. They're not made. Like you have to have that mentality. Those motherfuckers came out the womb looking to like pull wings off flies and torture people. We'll see this.

You know, the people's king might go down a dark road, but I think there's still too much humanity in him. Even this episode, I felt fucking bad. I do not feel bad for the guy, but they kind of painted him like you feel sorry for him. So I don't know if they're going to go down that road with him. If they do, though, when you see the origin stories for supervillains,

you're like, oh, shit. I kind of understand where he's coming from. I got a Thanos glove right here. I'm looking at i got a magneto i'm looking at i'm kind of a bad guy fan so uh if he if he turns bad i don't think i can even blame the dude it's weird because he was portrayed as just such a sick fuck in season one mostly like off camera and through stories he didn't really see it you know, he was the making babies and throwing them in the fighting ring. And, and now it's like,

yeah, he passes a Lena in the, on the, on the staircase. And he's like, you can see he's all bent out of shape. And it's just like a whole fuck. It's very strange that they,

they, they're, you know, sprinkling in kind of a, a little bit of sympathy for him. You know, it would be awesome. I just thought of this.

I don't, I doubt this happens. You know, I haven't read the books obviously i tell you right now there's one way i'll become team green you want to know how agon finds out kristen cole was banging his mom that night and he tortures him that is a fucking way to like get if he goes ramsey on kristen cole i'm fucking agon for life you know what it is it's like uh in in in movies when you need to make somebody good you just bring in nazis yeah it's like breaking bad it's like heisenberg's so bad so who can be the bad guys nazis they just need to you know bring in you if you if you bring in

kristen kohl as the bad guy and you pit those two against them you always choose not Kristen Cole. Kristen Cole underrated. If we just get to watch Team Green and Team Black, they're like, let's put our differences aside to fuck up these Nazis. Amen. In my mind, Kristen Cole's a Nazi. He is a Nazi. Yeah, for real.

He basically is. He was a bed. Allison informs Helena of the funeral for Jusaris, and she doesn't want to do it, obviously, but she has to. Allison tells her it's for the good of the realm. I feel like I probably look more like Helena right now than any other character. I need to get an eye patch desperately for next week. The funeral is also super sad, and the head is just rattling around in there like they sewed it on, but barely.

They hit a pothole and me and my girlfriend immediately looked at each other like everybody don't tell me that head comes rolling off right everybody thought that that baby was rolling off that fucking thing that head was just gonna go clunk clunk clunk clunk i re and it was with the puddle too i was like oh don't tell me like face down into a muddy puddle like Like, I thought they were really just going to make us feel worse and worse and worse. I bet Otto was like, please, God, please let that head come off. That'll really fucking – that'll get the Starks to bring it off. He tried to rig it.

Yeah. He put, like, a box spring, like a boxing glove with a spring. He was trying to get that head to pop off. Yo, he was the one who was digging the puddle, like, six hours earlier. He just put in the puddle, puts a rock in there to, like, hit he was that auto's fuck i again i don't like him it's kind of like it's getting with uh tywin lannister though it's like you're so sick and twisted i almost have to respect how fucking deceitful you are but i think i don't know about you guys this is the trust tree this is the basement right i was uh hand over ears like eyes eyes, like 90% closed when,

cause I did not want to see that head come off in real time. And this show has already proven in one season and one episode, they go places. You didn't think a TV show would go. Right. So I did not want to see baby's head pop off. That was also like, I got to give,

you know, if we're breaking down the all 22 tape of, of the King's guards at this point, F minus is all around. You're nowhere to be found when babies are getting murdered. And the fucking cart gets stuck in a little pothole and you guys can't move this thing. The whole Kings guard can't just move a fucking cart. They were pushing it and moving it. This thing's rocking around.

The creepy, weird, you know know plebeians are trying to crawl after the queen move the fucking cart these are the worst guards in the world i i would like to know like a panic attack too yeah i didn't know if she was gonna fucking like do something that made people think she was crazy or say something that once again was like oh it brought her a vision or something i thought something was going to happen with her there but i think she was just freaked out because it was like beetle mania the pie in the sky plus three and it's like all right what the fuck does that mean it's you know she says uh i would love to know how that scene plays out in the books too i mean i hope the fucking head doesn't come off but again george r martin like brain shit that's like mainlining

heroin basically it's craziness. Just absolute nuts. Knowing George R.R. Martin is fucked up, the head probably comes off and somebody fucks it and then throws in a dick. The books are so insane. You can't put anything past George R.R. In great detail, too. He came and

said, what the fuck, dude? Rainier, this is such a good scene. Rainier is truly stunned to find out that Team Green is, you know, putting the attack on her. And they're like, she's like, me? You think I would kill a baby after what I went through as a mother? Like, get the fuck out of here. And every cut to Damon is just more and more like Jesse Pinkman at the dinner table. Yes. Slipping on the glass. And every cut to Damon is just more and more like Jesse Pinkman at the dinner table, you know?

Yes! Slipping on the glass. He's just like, oh, like almost given the side eye of like, stop digging this hole because that was us. About that. About that moment, yeah. And they cut to like, you know, when everyone's out of the room and she's interrogating him about it. And he tells her the truth. He's like, hell, you know, I gave him good instructions.

And she just doesn't believe anything he says at this point because why should she and that's what the whole argument turns into is like i can never trust you and then do you think that uh you were actually viserys's player do you think he was a tool you were a tool against me and it's a huge blow-up fight between these two probably the biggest they've had in a long time. Yeah, that one was brewing for a while. And when she brings up the stuff when they're younger and all the stuff that went on, you know,

in the whorehouse or whatever the fuck that scene was. She was this close to saying the word groomed. Oh, yeah, she was going to cancel your ass. What do you think about that, David? You ain't coming back with no dragon to see if you're getting canceled, bro. Yeah. I got it, David. He ain't coming back with no dragon. See if we can cancel, bro. Yeah. I got to – Nick, how are we feeling right now, Nick?

Just the name and guys of the podcast, how are we feeling right now? Tough. Tough. Listen, he's still not – it still was a mistake. It was a mistake. It was a mistake, and I do think he can make it up, but he's got to do like, they keep talking about Aaron Hall.

He's got to make a fucking stand at Aaron Hall and really fuck some shit up and then come back and not be like, he's just gotta be like that. That was for you. I'm going to, I'm going to shut my fucking mouth now. He's not going to do that, but yeah,

he's going to have to do something big. Kev. It's very similar, like with Lindor. And it's like, it's like, all right, Damon, he puts up numbers. He's not going to do that, but yeah, he's going to have to do something big. Kev, it's very similar like with Lindor, and it's like, all right, Damon, he puts up numbers. He's fucking awesome. He's a Hall of Famer. He also bats like 200 for like long stretches, and it's like I just can't

defend when you don't hit a baseball for an entire month. But, or, you know, in this case, chop a baby's head off by mistake. Speaking of with Lindor real quick, if Francisco Lindor pulled out a sword and chopped Frank's head off while he asked him for an autograph over the weekend, I think he would have been justified. I think it would have been okay. The fact that Frank still can stand there

and be like, can you sign my ball for me after everything he said to that man? That's insane. But yeah, the Damon and Rainier, I mean, that was a fight 20 whatever years in the making. They put it all on the table. You think you deserve the throne. You resent me for it.

You're still clinging to hope that you're going to get it. Now I can't trust you. There was no like, I was wondering if there was going to be like a, I'm so mad at you, but like we're in the middle of a civil war and so I need you. It was like, get the fuck out of here. i can't trust you and i never will ever again that's why renera is always that bitch she is she always does pretty much always does what's right except for having a whole bunch of kids that aren't her husbands but that was all i'm gonna raise she's always like the moral compass of this thing and And I don't know if Damon can do like anything to get back in your good graces, to be honest.

And like, the thing is she does the right thing, but it's probably at the cost of herself. Cause now you have like one of your best, if not your best fighter with a fucking awesome dragon, just MIA. So it's like, she's, she kind of might've shot herself in the foot because of what, and once she brought up her dad, once, once Damon brought up her dad to him, like,

don't you say anything about that sweet little man his legos just got broken and he's in heaven just fucking down crying and he has his brother slandering him left and right yeah dude he like we'll talk more about what otto says too later like looking back on it that dude he was crusty and old and decrepit and slowly dying but man things were a lot better when he was around it was bad but it wasn't this fucking bad i know team black like it's we're going against team green and now they're going against each other it's like you guys gotta get on the same page here i also do feel like it will set up for damon to eventually have that i acknowledge you as queen moment and i feel like it's going to

be huge last season it was the fucking you know slice the head off don't fucking say shit about the bastards and then this season maybe something like that again as a fan like just for myself like Damon was always an asshole and doing selfish shit fucking around with the dragon eggs talking talking trash like you can come back from those things i don't know like again you got to kill sir kristen cole once he fucks him up then i'm like let's go damon but as of right now yeah give in the green light to chop a baby head off it's gonna be hard at least for me i don't know about other people but for me i'm not gonna just be like oh that was cool that he fucking flamed those people with the dragon there's still a ways to go after you get

a baby's head decapitated you know what i think is going on here bob you you know this as well and kev you you know all this shit too bob's like our resident wrestling historian i feel and i hate i don't like that it's going this way i feel like team black is kind of the black and white nwo and i think the greens are the red and black n the wolf pack. They have their shit. They're not a huge group, but they're tight right now. We're in Hollywood. I feel like there's like some tears going on. Some of the people are pissed at the other people. And there's just not a cohesion there where these guys like,

I'm a little worried about team black. And I was, you know what I'm a little worried about. You know what I was a little worried about when you brought up wrestling there, I thought we were going to get some Chris Benoit talk. That's where this show is headed oh yeah let's get demonetized this week guys how are we gonna do it oh my god if it didn't happen already there we go nick i need you to have your fucking finger ready on the end broadcast in case i ever go down that's all right well uh we'll install the mincey button on here too uh damon's daughter goes in and asks reynera about her father's atlanta is that her name

this one is lana right um she's like you gotta go his own way or baila baila yeah that was not later um maybe i'm wrong there's there's bailas there's lana's but yeah that one's baila her and just saris go and they talk on the edge of a cliff he's talking about missing luke they kind of weave her in throughout the episode not a ton for her to do but i feel like there's going to be something for her bigger this season so they're i guess reintroducing her to the audience here felt like. This feels like a problem. That was a little, that scene and the scene with Hugh, where they just like cut to him. That was just like, okay.

I was like, who the fuck are these people? I forgot. That was the guy who was asking for an advance from the king during the positions last week. And his wife just being like we're we can't pay our bills we're running low on on money and he's like it's gonna be okay honey and it was like back to your regular scheduled programming which I'm sure that will mean something but those two scenes I was like okay let's let's go let's get back yeah that that was like a mid-show previously on

to be like oh this will pay off in two scenes and it just never paid off it just not yet it's coming it's coming but as dense as we've been saying it that was there was those two like 30 second scenes where it's just like okay never mind the way that she said like father and he's talking daughter there i think they're gonna hammer home like all right if something happens to her damon's gonna be pissed and i and this is the thing correct me if i'm wrong if I have these correct. Rhaenyra, Rhaenyra's son wanted to go to King's Landing, right? And like, keep a watch. She said no, obviously, because she just lost a son.

Then Damon's daughter says, I want to do the same thing. And she says, yes, right? Is that correct? Yeah, she says, keep, you know, stay high, keep your distance. But yeah. So if something happens to her damon's gonna be like you let my daughter take the hit that your son didn't take that's why i feel like we have some that's my guess i feel like we have some potential uh shit brewing to go along with the shit storm we just watched between those two that's a good call i like that call i hope it pays off into

something like that because that was clem with a season call by called. By the way, that was not K-L-E-M Clem. That was the smart one. Kristen Cole, oh, my God. He had a lot of emo bitch scenes this week, but this one is worst of all. When he goes over to Sir Eric to yell at him over the dirty cape, and he's like, where were you when that baby was murdered? And, you know, you were with the king. Why weren't you there? Screaming at him in front of

everybody um and then he is like all right i i don't know if it's blackmail or if you can even call it this but she's using his power he's like you got to go kill rainier and now that's my order i'm telling you go do it just like she was going to do to amen dinner on hall he's like really he's like yep that's your mission i don't i don't know if he has the authority to do something like that. I don't think so. I don't think Alison would approve. Is that gaslighting? Was there any gaslighting going on there?

I'm not really sure what that means, but I know, you know, uh, uh, projection project. They were, cause that was all,

he's, he's the one who's, you know, the, the, the dirty cloak was very symbolic of like them. They're sullying the reputation, but he's the one who's dirtied up the reputation.

He's the one who should have been there to save the baby. He's the one who should have to go make it right. So he's just projecting all that and dumping it on Sir Eric like a little fucking bitch that he is. Was there like a shitty Met named Kristen or Cole? Because I feel like George is taking out like an old angry take on a Met with this guy. Because it's like the guys we hated in Thrones were like psychopaths. Joffrey, Ramsay, the people we – even Greyjoy Theon, right? Kristen Cole is like a whole other just brand of hate that I haven't felt in a very long time.

He's the worst. And, and we liked him so much in the beginning. Like he was, I want to say, I did. I did. I thought this guy's the man I thought maybe he's going to be,

I can't believe I'm even saying it out loud. Now it was like, he's going to be the Jon Snow of this show. Oh my God. Old takes exposed exposed to think about it to go way back a lot of this is rooted in the fact that young Allison had a crush on on Sir Criston Cole when he was you know doing jousting and shit like that and then when she found out that Rhaenyra him that was like the beginning of their you know their shit and that's so at the heart of this is just like sir kristen

cole and these two chicks and the fact the thought that sir kristen cole was just like hey like run away with me and i'll and i'll sell oranges and we'll be happy together and reyniero was like i can't do that and he like spiraled out of control because of that like you you had such a good gig you could have just fucked re right here on the side and, and been like Harwin strong. It would have been all gravy and you lose your goddamn mind. Cause you want to go sell oranges with her. And now the,

the whole world is fucked up because of you. It's a Kristen goal. You suck. God, he wanted to sell oranges. That's great. Yeah. It's like,

no, I got to be the fucking princess, dude. I can't just watch you sell oranges all day. And he was like no i gotta be the fucking princess dude i can't just fuck you sell oranges all day and he was like oh yeah well now i'm a psychopath how about that cunts cunts cunts but i'm allowed three in a row and then we get demonetized so i'm good three three is all right yeah careful though you say it four and they show up like beetlejuice it's the thrust like in uh key andle with the touchdown celebration. You get the flag.

There's a little scene with like a sex party and Amon's in the back and he's telling his lady he's proud of being considered such a rival for an assassination. I just wanted to note it because the way he's laying on her like such a freak-a-leak made me laugh. His little bony-ass bag of bones. Oh my god, that was funny.

I love Rob calling the other guy a bag of bones. Big Rob fuck. He is a ass bag of bones. Oh my God. That was funny. I love Rob calling the other guy a bag of bones. Big Rob, big Rob. Fuck. He is a little bag. Well, I'll be honest. Honestly, he's so tall. I think like I might have more like muscle than him at this point. There was a, it was 1% of me that thought we were going to turn on the stream yard and

I was going to see you in your wig curled up naked. That was so creepy man that was he's all bony and long and she's trying to fuck him and he's like nah nah nah right now i just want to be a little bit itty baby baby all these guys just have daddy issues and mommy's issues i mean no kidding he's always fucking each other and whatever but he looked like voldemort in the train station he did he looked like the fetus like Voldemort in the train station. He did. He looked like the fetus Voldemort. Sapphire just sits there wide open, which was creeping me out. And I don't know. I don't watch this show,

but I was like, is the actress that played his girlfriend, a real housewife? Cause she looks like she'd be like in real housewives. Wait, which girl, his girl, his little boo that he was with.

That was kind of just rough. Like she feels like she'd be like, name is like yeah i could see that dominica quick side note how about the the girl who was who started that scene carrying the the the steins of beer in do you notice her yep look a little weird notice she she brought the no oh wait wait wait, wait, wait. Was she small? I think so, but the whole, it just looked weird. It was like, I was like, what the fuck is that?

I think it's just a little short. Another scene in this episode, there was a lot of setup for the whole season in this episode, it seemed, because it was like randomly. Meanwhile, Alan of Hull, and they go over to old Alan all Alan who we met and he reunites with his brother, Adam. His brother, Adam, thinks he should join the sea snake at war. He's seen some shit, though. Alan is like, not what I've seen.

There's a war brewing. I don't think this is smart. It was kind of whatever they cut to the sea snake in bed with Rainice as well. He had the sea snake out, put it back in right before the scene started um they're firmly in support of the queen i like that we learned that adam has two d's in his name so it's just george taking a regular name and just you know gumming it up a little with the al lion or a ddm or some shit like that. I texted you guys. I think Alan's, Chris, is his bastard son. What's his name?

They might both be, right? I think. Yeah, I think so. Give it to me. Nick, are they bastards? I don't know for sure. I saw a lot of comments that people are speculating that, and it does seem like, based on this scene, it wouldn't make sense to have them both without them being like related of some sort because then

when they cut back to adam later it's like why are they picking this guy to follow and like so i imagine that they're both bastards because i think i have heard the sneeze sea snake has a ton of bastards also on the um the the the subtitles it was like alan of whatever and and uh adam of whatever like they have the same title the same name i think that they i just don't know if they know they're both bastards you know that's they they weren't talking like it unless that's just how they talk because everyone's bastards of them over there something but they were talking about him like oh like he's you know the big army general basically but you never know because everybody's still your grace yeah like that you know they don't just walk in and go like hey mom what's up with dad so maybe him being like

the sea snake is still they know that it's his dad i don't know what a weird dynamic to have with your kids too like it's so foreign to think like imagine like one of you guys have kids imagine your kids walked in and they said your grace may i have like a glass of milk dude keegan the other day keegan calls me bruh is like what's up bruh get me some water i'm like oh okay okay my wife goes over here. My wife goes, don't you dare call me bruh anymore. No, no, no.

I'm stopping this. She had to like put a pin in it because we were just getting bruh left and right, man. It's craziness. Yeah, that's the YouTube shit. All those guys say bruh and they picked it up like that. Rainier brings the white worm in for interrogation. She's asking her what she knew. Eventually she remembers who she was too.

They have that moment. She's like, Oh, I was wondering how long it would take you to remember me. And that was a little tense moment between these two as well, because like, obviously Rainier is the queen. She could go send the white worm to fucking die.

But the white worm is that little fucking, she's a worm where it's like, we might need you. Like, I think we have to keep you around because and she talks her way out of it well too or she kind of explains her side she's like i came over i was nothing worked my way up i did what i had to do to survive like can't you appreciate that and she swears that she's not going to not going to betray the queen

it seems later on i think that she was a woman of her word i think she actually you know stood up and spoke up when she needed to her story about like how i basically had my shit burned down i built myself up like she kind of was like and fuck the high towers and i'm sure renera's like yeah they fucking suck so like this sounds like something they would do so because of that i was happy that but she was also kind of like teetering rene i have to admit though like she's like oh this is my uh my husband's ex-girlfriend and you he's she's like i know you guys did some up kinky together like the white worm and dame and we're doing that's illegal in probably all western all seven realms

the old gods in the new one can't even watch that shit so i could think there was probably a little bit of jealousy there the whole thing with the scar too i think that was like alluded to damon maybe right and that was yeah well and also i mean this so there was that one scene that felt like a throwaway scene in in in season one where you see that random house burning and one of Otto's guys walking out. And I think I didn't realize that was the reveal. I didn't know that up until then, right? This was the moment we found out that that was White Worm's house. I think because right before, doesn't Otto have a conversation with her? I didn't know at that point that that house was

what he was burning down so when she said that this episode i was like oh so that was her house that makes sense i didn't put that together until you just said it yeah i think that's i mean like if you were you know really really tuned in maybe you realized it but i think for the most of us that that episode i was always just like who the fuck was in that house we don't know yeah now we know it was White Worm. I think there's some honor amongst those two as bad bitches who have dealt with Damon and are just trying to be honorable and try to get through this. Eskimo sisters.

There was very good nonverbal acting. She's kind of walking around her and then she realizes it. You can see in her face that she realizes it yeah she's just like oh i know who you are it was cool we we might get girl boss tweeted about both of them at some point the rest of the season right two girl bosses right there well really i mean honestly the show is very i mean when you think about rainice rainerahaenyra, Alyson, and even White Worm in a way, like a lot of those, a lot of them, a lot of like the smartest characters are women who just were put in these like fucked up spots

that like they couldn't win, but had they had the power, she would have been queen. She could have just killed this guy. She wouldn't have had to have these babies, all that shit, you know? So the women are really the ones who know what to do and what's going on.

I'd venture to say, even if, I don't know if the books dive into this, but I bet if we went back to Aegon the Conqueror with his two sisters, we'd probably learn the sisters are fucking awesome, but no one's going to talk. They're just going to talk about Aegon the Conqueror, his giant dragon, and then they're just like footnotes in history, and that's kind of just the way it goes sometimes. It's crazy as it is.

The rat catchers all hung in public. Every single last one of them. The poor dog of the rat catcher. I mean, the dog was abused, but I thought that was great. But his guy, I know, I know, I know he was more like, oh, there's my owner. But I thought of it as like, hey, I outlived you, bitch. Well, good. Yeah, I agree with that.

And he's not getting kicked anymore. God willing, hopefully, you hopefully yeah his next owner will be better hopefully someone rescues that dog that whimper pissed me off you know i wish the dog kind of looked yeah like pissed on the ground underneath yeah yeah turned around yeah yeah and got whatever oh i was fucking pissed about the rat catchers getting hung obviously because this kind of goes against the PR plan that he set in place. It goes against the PR plan. It like you can't really get any more information out of them if you could. Right. Did we get the guy?

Did Cheese get got? Was he? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That was it. OK. That was what he went for that. Yeah. That was what he whimpered at, yeah. But the other problem that no one sees you talking about,

killing all the people that know how to catch rats in a rat-infested city is the dumbest thing you could do. Episode three, entire kingdom wiped out by the Black Plague, end of series. Like, kill all the rat catchers, you dumb fucks. I will say it's a good way to kill a good way to fix the problem. It's like, we can't find them. So just kill every single fucking one of them.

Uh, but yeah, Otto, Otto is none too pleased with that one. And screams at Agon. Um, and Agon has a line where it kind of encapsulates his whole attitude on this.

He says, fuck dignity. I want revenge. And that's, I i mean that's so many people in thrones summed up in one quote right there is they don't care how it looks they don't care how they'll be perceived afterwards they just want that fucking revenge um and when he's like my father made me king auto turn turn he's like oh is that what you think he's like you realize i was the the puppet master doing those strings right gives him one of those and he wants that pin removed gets that pin removed yet again

he throws it at kristin cole's feet he says christ you know give it to kristin cole i got a couple takes on this one kristin cole when he was chosen as the hand he did the little sass like me are you serious he was not prepared he does, he did the little sass like me. He was not prepared. He does not look like he wants that job to auto high towers, putting up numbers at this point. He is the hand. Then he's not the hand. Then he's the hand.

Then he's not the hand. You could look at it glass half empty and say, he is being stripped of that pin more than anybody. Or you could look at it like a wrestling fan. Ric Flair was 16 time champ. And yes, he lost the title 16 times. But he was also the 16-time champ. He's putting up Ric Flair numbers.

He's on pace, at least. I would say it's Billy Martin. Just keeps getting fired. Very George Steinbrenner. You're fired! All right, come back in. You're fired! I thought this was an interesting scene from Serato.

Or Otto. I thought this was an interesting scene from Serato or Otto because he he kind of has a moment where he's like, all you fuck ass idiots don't know what you're doing. Like like we should have we should have cherished Viserys when we had him because he you know, we all played dirty, but he has dignity and he had rules and respect. And like none of you fucking assholes know what you're doing and you're not playing by any of the rules. So like, you know, fuck you guys. I'm out. It was like a fuck you. Fuck you. I'm out sort of thing. I think that when Laris finds out that he didn't get the nod for for hand after he was the one petitioning it. And he's like, yeah, I did get rid of otto but i gave it to this fuckhead uh eventually that little clubfoot pervert's gonna snap you know it's the one fucking his girl too yeah right right right so it's like you know you get to fuck those feet and you're the hand like

i'm gonna have to kill you and again once again you will get me to root for a clubfoot pervert if you put him opposite of Sir Kristen Cole. Anything's possible. That clubfoot pervert is, I mean, he's a sick, twisted fuck. He's a little finger of this time. You're putting a big old target on Kristen Cole's big, dumb face right now, too, because when you're fucking his girl, I took his dream job. He's going to come for you. So I guess that would probably be the odds-on favorite to be the – because I have people tweeting me like,

I cannot wait until we get to see Christian Cole die. I feel like Clubfoot is going to lead to that at some point, right? I feel like – I hope it's not. I hope that that is in season four. I want it to build and build and build, and I'll be screaming about it. Kill this fucking guy. Why is he still alive?

But I want like 20 more episodes of him and then somebody you know chops off his head and fucks his mouth or something like that I want in the opening credits next week I'll just take it right now I understand the dish well served I'll have it piping hot just give it to me also I have to shout out someone in the um in the chat here he says in the in the books they uh MJ in the books they, MJ, in the books they fill the red keep with cats to get rid of rats, which is actually kind of a brilliant move. It's like, don't worry about cats

murdering and decapitating your sons. So that's kind of nice. Also, shout out to David in the chat. I don't understand why Clem has two different angles of the same video. Yeah. What the fuck is going on look look at the names guys wait a minute robbie who have you been looking at this whole time i've been looking at a clone

with a c under you i've been looking at clem with a k the whole time i feel like i've been really bantering with a fucking villain yeah you don't even know who you're talking to yeah uh speaking of the twins this is where we get the big showdown between them uh the white worm spots eric walking in and it's hard to know which one's eric and which one's eric i think eric is the good one eric is the bad one i believe maybe i'm I'm wrong about that, Chad, Nick. Anyone could correct me if I am wrong. Eric with an E is the good one. Bad. Good one.

No, he's good. Yeah, I was completely wrong. But, you know, half the time on screen, they're saying Eric is the traitor. That's why. Yeah, because it was coming from Allison's and Sir Kristen's point of view. No, Eric is – I always think of it, I just remember in Billy Madison, I just say it in my head every time, Eric. Eric's the good guy.

Eric's the bad guy. Wait, but Eric's the good bad guy in Billy Madison. I know, but I'm just like, Eric. I just always say Eric. Damn it, Kevin. I, listen, any, like, that's a great plan for back in the day, back in medieval times. You'll look exactly like someone that's a foolproof plan. 99,999 million times out of 1 million.

You know, one time you happen to walk past this chick who notices you and the plan fails. Every other time that would have worked. And they have a hell of a fight in front of the queen, in front of some of the handmaidens until they run out looking for help and everything. But it's worthy. It's like, okay, that was fucking Brett versus Owen Classic right there. They duke it out. Both of them wind up dead at the end of it because Eric stabs Arik, looks at the queen,'s like i'm so

sorry falls on his fucking sword in front of her gruesome i mean i i know that's the warrior swordsman way to go out or whatever but watching it done i did not expect it so that was like my jaw hit the floor when he did that um but rest in peace uh my dog eric he was a good good one and Eric was probably one of the better ones too as the fuck and you know who's fault this is that asshole Kristen Cole that son of a bitch is the one who sent it over there like you said Kev great plan and like it's

like at some point I'm like first of all I was confused the whole time I was like I don't know who I'm rooting for I think we were rooting for the guy who had the gashed leg right so I'm like oh that was gross it was like mortal combat like you had to be like all right that's raiden with the hat on or yes right right yes that's a great call because uh sir sir lormont or whatever is like which one's eric i don't know what yeah i mean i i believe uh i want to say in the books the battle of of Eric and Eric is like one of the biggest things in the in the book world.

So I wonder if the book people were satisfied with how that battle went down. I was thinking in my head, you're Sir Eric. Once you're once your cover is blown, it's a wrap for you. Whether or not you even whether or not you get right near you're not making it out of here alive so why not you know put down your swords give your brother a hug and just be like sorry man can i just come back over to your side that you i mean you're just absolutely fucked at that point uh and then that yeah that peeling of his of his quad that was like vincent man blowing out his quad type shit mean, they were just yanking that thing. And that, that, uh, that's a Puku. That honor killing was, yeah, that was, he like, like caught on him. You know what I mean?

Like he fell and then it stopped. Oh, by the way, uh, just a word of advice to any of the ladies or the, or the men out there, if you're ever in a bedroom and there's a full-blown fucking sword fight going on, run away. Run the fuck out of the bedroom. Get up and run away. Scream. Help. Help. I'm your queen.

Popcorn. Front row seat. What's going to happen? Oh, Bob, I had very big cap versus cap from Endgame vibes. I wasn't sure who for first. And it was pretty cool how they were mirroring each other's stuff. And it's kind of like, this is the real thing. These two loved each other, other than obviously the whole thing when they split politics-wise.

But we just watched a twin murder his twin brother. And it's like, oh, second most fucked up thing of the season so far. It's crazy that it sounds like that. And I'm reading the chat here. In the books, they both bleed out. I think I like the bleed out more than the seppuku because it's like I kind of would have liked to see it. That's just fucked up. Now she loses you.

I know you just killed your brother and you're fucking devastated. You know what? They should have done Rocky and Apollo with swords. And they both chopped their heads off. Double decapitation would have been pretty fucking sweet. That would have been sick. Do you think she knew that her twin won? Because I was like, oh, fuck, the bad guy won.

I thought we were going to get more of that. I thought there was going to be a, like, come here, like, hug me. We're safe. Like, what can I do for you? And she was going to be like, wait a minute, which one are you? That's why, you know, she'd have gone with the Michael Michael Scott should have like put a little mark on them with a little paintbrush. I know which one you are at all times, but yeah, they, they just ended that pretty quickly. That was,

that did not happen decidedly. It was over real fast. When he said like my grace or whatever, it started walking towards her before he did that. And she's like, Eric, i thought she said it like with a question like that where she's like yeah he's making sure my guy won right right he's like oh i thought you said eric because even that sounds like it's so fuck this entire cousin twin thing has been fucking me up since we met them nick do you have anything about that i see uh my guy david sider in the chat by the way that's west rose's ass that's a great line no i thought the entire time during this um i thought she was just gonna order her guy just be like you have to kill them both because like if one survives if eric with an a survives he could

just play it out for a few days right pretend to be his brother and then fucking get her which would have been cool to put it on her like we we have to kill both of you. Chat is saying they took it as Eric won and then was like, I'm so sorry for betraying you. That actually makes more sense. Because when I was thinking about Eric, Eric with an E killing himself, I was like, you didn't, you know, you're still good, dude. Like you chose right.

And so it makes, that actually makes more sense that Eric would be the one that's like, you know, how could I betray you? So wait, who won? Thank you to the chat. Good guy won or bad guy won? I think Eric, the bad guy, won. But then, and then Honor killed himself because, you know, in the mid, like, he just killed his brother.

He realized he chose wrong and he was like sorry for all this. That makes more sense now. Those twins come from a good stock. It got hairy for a while there, but they come from a good stock. It's all Kristen Cole's fault. Eric's at it best. Last episode he was like, when

Damon was giving him a hard time, he was like we swore an oath to defend the family and the family started fighting each other. What the fuck are we supposed to do? Yeah. And then the episode ends with a meeting between Allison and Otto. She says, go to Highgarden or Highgarden, Hightower. Speak with the Tyrells.

He's got to get the Tyrells and everything. Highgarden. He seems to be making sure he still has control he's like just so we know he's like uh you know you and me we still stick together everything's gonna be all right right and she's like yep everything's still good and then she walks in on agon weeping fucking smacks kristin cole's bitch ass around for a bit and then they fuck. This was very, I just watched gangs of New York. Yeah.

That was like, that kiss was coming. It's like, for us, she slapped him once. And I was like, Oh, wait a minute.

Maybe we're going to actually, you know, as soon as the second, you're like, and then you knew it was like, Oh, this could be one of those like hot, sexy slapping make out things.

And then boom, right to finger blasting. And here we go again. Like that bitch cannot control herself. She cannot control her, slapping make out things and then boom right to finger blasting and here we go again like that bitch cannot control herself she cannot control her her and her pussy need to be locked away because i mean it's one thing when you're like okay i shouldn't be fucking this guy and then it's another thing we're like oh my god we're late for the high council because we were fucking this is crazy it's another thing to be like while we were having sex a baby's head got chopped off and then you

know like 20 not even 24 hours later you're like still fucking him like they didn't even take a break that's how sprung she is it's crazy your horniness is killing babies i don't want to do this you gotta do it whatever you gotta do it is it is it possible that Kristen Cole has like the magic dick, the magic fingers? He must. Right. He had the other one died for him, too. He got both the girls just begging for it. And he basically chose one over the other.

And he has her wrapped around his finger. And, you know, oh, you know, oh, my my grandson got his head chopped off because we were having sex. Let's do it again. Who gives a shit? Like at some point, that's when you are digmat were having sex. Let's do it again. Who gives a shit? Like, at some point. That's when you are dickmatized, man. That bitch is drunk off the dick. He would be like a reality show villain, like in The Bachelor.

He's blind to one of these things. Just handsome guy, head of hair, can throw down the dick, but he's just like this gaslighting psychopath who all the girls hate. Also, the chat is going wild over the mention of dayron i'm gonna say maybe that's how it's pronounced maybe just darren and it's very like you know modern timesy but they also mentioned him uh viserys's fourth son i think his fourth son right and he was raised elsewhere old town has a dragon baby okay mom people are saying that's huge people are like that's the huge he is a uh shout out mj in the chats chat says he has a dragon named

tessarion tessarion i feel like we're getting a little bit of uh a little bait and switch in a way like we were told that like there's so many dragons in this series i'm thinking the same thing i haven't seen a lot. We just see them. They're like airplanes. We see people fly in and fly out on them. Yeah. We've seen one Dracarys.

We've seen one battle. You know what? They cost a fuck ton. I know that. They do. It's like flying in private. We just couldn't do it. Yeah.

But yeah, we saw Daemon's wife, Dracarys herself. We saw Dracarys in the middle of the Crab King war. Anything else? I don't know. We really haven't seen much else. I was pissed when they just cut about a Game of Thrones. We weren't seeing dire wolves. We saw ghosts for like three seconds a season.

And I'm like, I know subscribed to hbo to watch fucking this show right same with house of the dragon these fuckers just lost the nba that's like billions of dollars that you can use on fucking dragons nick what did you have yeah i was gonna say the way we were talking about last week how they cut it down from 10 to 8 episodes i heard that was so they could do I think get the budget for the dragons. I was reading about that. They changed that story a bunch though. I hope that you're right.

But at first I heard it was just better storytelling. They were like 8 episodes just fits the season better. We didn't want to extend it. Then I heard that like yeah we're going to put the money into the other episodes. And then I just flat out heard it was Warner put the money into you know the other episodes and then I just flat out heard it was Warner Brothers trying to cut just cut budget in general so I

hope that it's not just penny pinching what I am hoping they do I hope that they just try to dunk on thrones and bring in elephants because did you guys notice when yes uh uh she picked up her son's toy and it was a toy elephant I was was like, that was such a specific thing. That was something everybody wanted in the first series and never got. Cersei was like, I need elephants. I need elephants. I need elephants. And then never got them.

And like, I mean, it was pretty much probably budget at the end of it. But then this episode for them to pick up a toy and it's a toy elephant. I'm like like that's so specific like just to have that thrown in there yeah it's probably budgeting like people yelling at pt barnum at the time um but that was house of the dragon episode two a good one a good setup episode another one where we didn't see shit pop off there was no you know dead baby killing and stuff like that but it's setting the table for what is going to be allegedly a crazy war everyone's telling us season two you're getting the crazy war shit's going down

so i'm excited i'm excited for it to continue maybe next week we should try to get a guest on like i saw trent was tweeting about it connor as a team green guy he might have to come on defend himself so funny that trent watches this like i cannot think of something less trent than this fucking trip got me into game of thrones he was the guy yeah we when i was not into it till you know i got into it before the final season and we did marathon sessions where we would wake up at 9 a.m. on a Saturday and watch 10 episodes back to back, 10 straight through, and then go to bed, wake up the next morning, do the same thing. You guys were living. We were living.

That was the good old times. Yeah. One of the worst days of my life. In the midst of that, our power went out, and I still think back on it. We were looking at each other like, we're going to get only six episodes in today. Do you realize that i'm seeing here the chat episode four is gonna be electric so i'm looking forward to that comparing it to battle the bastards crazy wait what's episode not three i mean it's episode four so two weeks from now should be electric i don't know what three will

be i think it'll probably be a little more setup maybe something you know, you know, starting to brew. I also, now that you guys remind us, it went from 10 to 8, I feel like they're just, every episode now, they're going to have, like, a little Hugh part and a little Alan and Adam, where you're like, the fuck was that scene? That's just shit from other episodes, just fodder. They're just throwing it to go from 10 to 8. I mean, I think that's just going to have

to be so, like, when Hugh does some badass shit in a couple episodes, they can be like remember he was that guy from that 10 second scene but that was you know for a show like i said that the first season and the premiere are just so dense with nothing being throwaways it was like three you know kind of like we just have to have these guys on the screen for a second so that you know that they're still in the series people were saying he was one that made the dragon bolts um because he was one that got the advance on the money i i forget what he had to ask for but if he just stops making those for the kingdom pretty important wait he makes

the dragon what the bolts of the i forget what they call of the scorpion yeah got it yeah yeah so he like makes someone was saying that that's his job so yeah if he gets fed up with the king and decides to go on shrike it's going to be a problem for what do we think mvp and lvp for this episode well i think it's an easy one actually permanent lvp for the rest of the until he's's dead is Sir Kristen Cole. Easy. Yes. And then MVP, I thought this was such a strong Otto Hightower episode. I was thinking that too.

The actual Otto acting, conniving, like all that was great. I think there was a little bit, I mean, he's almost like too late. It's too late for him to have a redemption arc. I actually thought there was a chance he was going to die,

like right then and there. When, when he was like, really started to talk shit to the King, I thought, you know, Sir Kristen was going to go fucking smash his head down like he's a guy yeah uh but like him that was kind of his moment of like what have i been doing with these fucking children who like you know i wish it was just me and my buddy otto back in the good old days i don't think he can like turn good at this. But they've been laying it on so heavy.

There's been two or three scenes where Allison sometimes says to Otto, hey, you just got to ride with me. And Otto keeps being like, hey, you just got to ride with me. That's got to blow up one way or another. Somebody turns on somebody or they both die together or whatever. But they've been laying that one on thick. But yeah, I would agree, Otto. Lots of LVP Amons in the chat right now.

The small council is not a fan of our people's king. Wait, no, I'm sorry. Amon is the Sapphire Eye, right? Yes. Yeah, he was a little bitch in this episode. But that was even like him just being like, isn't it so cool that like Damon thinks that I'm like, you know, worthy of that?

Like, shut the fuck up, you little one-eyed pervert. And also, his line where she's like, hmm, like, she's trying to give him the hawk to her. And he goes, no, not here. Yeah. You're at a sex party. What do you mean not here? Yeah. Everyone around you is naked having sex.

Like, this is the spot, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. That was, I said to my wife when the first time he's uh when when they first start the episode i go all right this is going to be the amen episode he's going to fly out on the biggest dragon of all the kingdoms and just lay waste a dragon stone and he was crying on a hooker's lap not getting it begging for her not to fuck him just disgusting by and i love amen i'm an amen guy that one fucking hurt. Also, MVP, I'm not giving a first place vote,

a fourth, fifth place vote. I got to give White Worm a fifth place vote. She's going. That was pretty important what she did there. I'm also giving a sixth place vote to the dudes that

got the fucking funeral procession out of the ditch without knocking the baby's head off that would have been traumatic for everyone like i don't think we would have we weren't like let's just cancel tonight guys we'll go next week all right thank you to everyone for tuning in joining the chat helping us out with this show you know giving us little tidbits from the book. We love it. Keep coming back every Sunday after house of the dragon wraps up. We will be here to break it all down, you know, to the best of our ability.

Sometimes the chat knows a lot more than us. Most of the time, the chat knows a lot more than us. And that's a lot of the fun of it for us, I think is even finding this stuff out on the fly. So there, there it was. We're team black still.

We'll see you next week.
