Welcome back to Game of Stools, House of the Dragon, Season 3, Episode 2.
Fellas.
What is going on in Westeros right now?
Here.
Yo, it was so, so important for Thrones to, or House of it.
the dragon to follow up with a one-two punch.
Like, we knew that was supposed to be the finale.
And I was thinking, what if they blew their load early?
And bam, they hit you with some more good stuff.
Some real stuff is going on.
Is that a dragon outfit that you got for this?
That is unbelievable.
Close enough.
Maybe a little dinosaur, but close enough.
Clem, how are we doing?
I'm feeling good.
It's like, I think we're all at a point where just the temper.
of the show right now, we are moving.
We're moving forward.
There's crazy shit happening.
We might need like a whole segment of just like ask the master where we just ask
Brendan like questions because I have a lot of fucking questions.
This is going a completely different direction.
I really don't know if I have any answers for for anything.
Like I'm a fan now too.
Like this is, it's a new show.
I mean, there's maybe a few more things that like I, you know, you can see coming.
But I think I'm looking at the chat.
Like a lot of people are predicting things.
things that like happen in the book so yeah you know i i think we're all kind of know where things are
going but there's going to be a lot of twists and turns nick this has been awesome i'm so excited uh
i think though saddest death of the season so far r i p my boy simon shrunk yeah i was
i was waiting for him to hit uh amen with a prince regent at some point like just
hit him with a little thing like you did
Damon but yeah that was
if they needed us to hate
Amon even more they figured out
the perfect guy for him to take out
that was like kill the cat moment that was
like you know save the cat is where you like
show that you're the hero that was like this is the
bad guy he's the bad guy everybody
hate him because Simon Strong's our boy
and he's just unceremoniously knifed
him I'm just looking like him I'm stuck
I'm in this spot where I got the way
it is what it is at this point
I'm in the foxhole.
I didn't see the balloon.
I didn't see the sapphire.
We didn't rock the eyepatch this week, you know.
I got to hit the sapphire.
That's, I mean, I've been wearing Damon's colors since the first episode.
There's been some rough ones in there.
You're with Alice Rivers now.
You're going to have some rough ones.
That's, if there's any parks and rec fans out there, it feels like when Ron gets back together with Tammy,
like those two together.
You don't want that shit.
I don't think that's good for anybody.
Also, this episode, I felt like the first half of it, I was like, ooh, this is good.
This is good drama, good stuff.
The second half of the episode, when they step on the gas pedal, it went from good to like,
we just got two back-to-back all-time episodes.
Yeah, I'll be honest, I wasn't really even feeling well.
I was like halfway through the episode, I was like, all right, not too much is happening.
I might text the guys and be like, I'm going to sit this one out.
And then I was like, oh, hell no.
I mean, that, dude, auto high tower is.
one of my favorite
like non-major characters
of all time. I love that guy.
He's given so many good monologues
and he was like the last statesman on the show
that I was like, oh, I got to get on the show tonight
to talk about this.
So good.
We already got a super chat from David Snyder.
Oh, our guy, David Snyder,
anytime we bring up the book,
I want someone to look up and read the definition
of unreliable narrator, we can do whatever we want.
That's a fact.
They can do whatever, especially with the history.
book version of the way this show is written.
Also, man, if we're going to, like, we're deviating from it.
So it's over.
It's over for the book people.
You lose.
Good day, sir.
Like, we're all in the same stupid, dumb boat.
I don't know.
You don't know.
And we'll find out next week.
I want to antagonize the book people, Kevin.
They're in the chat.
They're in the streets.
Yeah, the book people are scary.
That's like antagonize these.
You don't want to do that.
We're all just because we don't have the advance notice.
Now we're angry.
We're like, wait a minute.
We're supposed to know all the stuff.
I like it.
I mean, I think it's just been a fantastic show.
So it's like if you wanted to be exactly true to the book, I don't know.
If it was, if they deviated and it was bad, I mean, that's the, I think that's the problem.
Some people still have Game of Thrones hangover from the end of Game of Thrones being bad.
And people forget that, like, you know, all of the end wasn't bad.
It would just that they didn't stick the landing.
If they stuck the landing, everybody would be thrilled because,
It was a great show, and the guy didn't write the book.
So now this guy, now he wrote this, he wrote like an outline.
I was arguing with people online.
The Battle of the Goet last episode, it's like three pages.
It's not like it was this huge, long, drawn-out story.
People were mad because, and I forgot to bring this up last time, but Adam, Ulf, and Hugh are in the Battle of the Goet.
They are in the Battle of the Goet.
or one paragraph
and it says
one dragon is a lot
because Jace gets there first
one dragon is one thing to fight
five is another
and the triarchy like
lost their will to fight
that's like the entirety
they just say there were five dragons
so like this is the
book is not it's not the novels
it's an outline
so sorry for people
I mean they're you know
it's like he wrote you know
a rough outline
and they're making a show out of it
also let me correct me of them wrong
like is nettles that big of a character?
People are like so mad.
Like when I hear about the Game of Thrones books,
no one's talking about fucking nettles, man.
So like, sorry your favorite bit character is not in the show,
but you know, we can't have everybody in there.
Yeah, I mean, it is.
I think, yeah, as, you know, when you read the book
and then you're waiting for the show,
you go, oh, how are they going to do this?
And what's going to happen here?
And who's going to play nettles?
And then you hear that nobody's cast for nettles.
and she's not in it. And I mean, I don't know, it changes it. It's different. But I, to me, no,
I don't, I didn't think that it was like, you know, like they cut Lady Stoneheart from the first one.
It's like, Catalan Stark turns into a zombie monster. And they just were like, we're not going to do that.
And I mean, I think that that was like, that's a lot worse. Nettles, I don't know. I think that
it's, it's interesting, but it's not, I don't know. To me, I'm not heartbroken that they don't have nettles in it.
I'm going to tell you what the show haters will say after today now. It's like they're going to say, well, last week was like a finale episode.
and this would have been the premiere episode.
So next week is the week that's going to suck.
So that's really a point.
Let's just have fun and enjoy it while it's good.
And this is eight episodes this season, right?
Yeah.
So again, short is better, in my opinion.
And I'm not just saying that because of my dick.
I'm saying that.
I'm saying that.
I think, like, when they have this stuff and it's more dense in Thrones,
we don't have to have the quote-unquote filler stuff.
And, Brian, you could, I guess, allude to this more.
Again, I'm not going to, I don't want to keep bringing it back to the
books, but a season and a half, essentially, we have left of this show for what's left in the books.
Like, it's almost like you're not sure if they can cover it all, right? And granted, they are
going to get that direction. So what's interesting is, remember, I think, I think at some point
in, before the show, this season started, I text everybody that there was like 11 battles or
conflicts left. So we got the battle to go it, but you see them, remember, they were singing in the
Riverlands? They were like singing about the Red Fork and they were singing about the fish feed.
That's two battles that we just didn't see.
So like when they were chancing, fish feed, fish feed, that's them driving the Lannisters
back into the gods eye and like drowning them and killing them at the same time.
So I don't know, you know, Battle of Stone Mill, like that was like they just flashed to the
end of it.
So, you know, I think a little of this, like the reason that all the dragons were in the,
in the gullet, sometimes, I mean, I hate to say, sometimes it's money.
It's like how many battles.
Oh, my God.
I mean, I'm such a new man because ordinarily I would.
criticize them for this but like the the budget on this show must be a fucking nightmare to deal with
and it's like yeah i'm sorry we couldn't give you another battle because i just gave you 75 minutes
of mythical creatures that don't exist in perfect detail god damn it i i bverson said it he goes this was
actually the finale because not the the battle would have been that this the penultimate that always rules
right and then this would have been the finale that works like big
chess pieces have now been moved. So premiere's next week, boys, we're coming.
If you want to talk about like the budget getting crazy, the most unnecessary shot of the
whole show, the dragon drinking water. Those are the different things to VFX. Yes,
I was just about to say that, Nick. How long did that take? How much money did that take?
It looked like the dragon from Shrek. The line producer. And it's complimentary, not a bad way.
Yeah, I had to be like, why are we doing this? This is going to cost us half a million.
I think that's a flex.
I think that's them being like, this is my, my team can do this shit.
It a thousand percent was them being like, this is what we can do now.
Mm-hmm.
That's sick.
Also, I just, I just had to point this out.
This made me laugh.
Clem looks like Dumbledore's lost cousin.
Somebody said I look at Wonder Woman.
I'll take it.
I did think how I could see that.
I was like a little tiara.
Yeah.
Great.
All right.
Let's get into the episode.
We see the slow-mo battle aftermath.
This was, it felt like Zach Snyder's cinematography,
which that is one thing Zach Snyder's got going for.
I mean, he could figure out the cinematography.
So I thought it was sick when they bring Jason's body and sad stuff,
but the battle, Tiss won.
Oh, that was good.
Come on, that was cold.
And then this might be the scene that they show for Emma Darcy at the Emmys.
When she's up on stage, excepting that Emmy,
and they're playing little clips behind her,
her trying to get a response out of Jace and crying
and turning on Sir Laurent,
how dare you put your hands on me?
Jesus Christ, she's a great actress.
Like hitting the body but not hitting it.
Like you're so mad but you don't want to hit his dead body.
By the way, boys, I don't know this happen every week.
We're getting updated tapestries every fucking week it feels.
And that would be so fast.
Next week, our boy Otto, I think there might be a head rolling on the tapestry at this point.
Yeah. And we're watching the intros, by the way.
That's a game of Stools thing.
We're watching the intros.
It's getting you in the mood, okay?
It's like a Pavlovian dog.
It's click at something in your brain that says it's time for thrones.
Don't you bump us with fucking Dragon Boy over there.
None of us ever skip the intro other than fucking Dragon Ball.
I'm saying as a podcast, the listeners included,
we're not skipping that intro to get to get to the Thrones quicker.
Kevin's looking at us like he skipped the fucking intro.
Oh, you got to do it.
How is your brother so much cooler than you?
And does everything play with this stuff?
I skipped it.
I like to get to the meat and potatoes.
I skipped it too.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
We have live tapestries.
I can go back and watch it.
I don't know when we're going to start these episodes.
I'm three hours behind you guys.
I don't know.
I'm trying to get, I'm trying to get ready for the show.
Oh, yeah.
You guys skip the X-Men 97 intro, too, because I
swear to God if you do, I'm never going to talk to you.
I skip every intro.
This is the talking to I needed.
All right.
I'm watching the intros.
I'm down.
Watch the intro.
I'm telling you,
that might be why Kevin didn't like season two in real time.
He wasn't watching the fucking intros.
I thought Renira was going to let Sir Lauren go.
I was worried that she was just going to be like, you know,
because I was like, you got to chop that guy's head off a second.
see yeah but then when she's just walking out and she's like let him choose how he dies i was like
that was bad ass that was cool he could choose any way he wants by the way if i'm gonna name the
funny comments about clem ravi looks like paris hilton that's hot that's hot that's hot
um how about how about rena trying to hit the art of the deal was that in the veil
what was she doing there yeah dude i i i mean my sports run so the week sheep steal
he's like a salary dumb dragon at this point like he has a bad cap number it's like washed up
Chris Paul like it's like a dragon rain's fucking like terror around this land and she's like please
let me live here with my dragon I'll stay out of your hair I promise what a fucking shitty
dragon man sheep's dealer absolute hits I loved rain I loved rain a look coming up looking like she
like she like rolled herself in dirt before she walked up just be like I gotta look really bad
I gotta look as bad as possible and just like it's it's like when you like hurt
someone in a, like your brother in a fight, and then you're just like, oh, no, yeah, I'm beat up too.
Like, she was just trying to sell it.
She was ready to show up singing Christmas shoes, just getting tears out of that one.
They're still looking for Corlis in the sea, too.
That's in the meantime, you're getting like the cuts to the sea of them.
Corlis, Corlis, Marco, Polo.
Can I tell them one thing, because Lady Jane Aaron might not appear anymore in this.
Yeah.
And now that Jace is dead.
Jace, remember, Jace flew to the veil first and then to Winterfell to win both the errands and the Starks.
In the book, one of the stories is that Lady Jane said that she would pledge allegiance to Reneer only if Jace could satisfy her orally.
Hey.
Now, these are the things that get cut from the book sometimes.
They're like, oh, why don't we stick to the book a little bit?
That's just that, because it's weird because there's, there's all.
these different sources in the book.
And one of them is this guy, Mushroom, who is supposed to be a character, too.
He's supposed to be, like, Renira's court jester, and he's not in it.
But he's, like, very, like, perverted.
Like, he's just always, like, everybody's doing something disgusting.
Wait, so is that the girl who got, like, her 15-year-old was breastfeeding?
The, um...
No, that's in the...
In the original show.
Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it is...
But it's not half.
She's a tully, so she's from River Run,
but she did marry into that family.
So she was in the veil.
So it's the same, that's the same area, same castle, same, all that.
Boys, I told my wife we were in the veil just from like the view of the mountains.
I was so proud of myself.
I felt like fucking Brendan.
I started throwing the one-a-hand-on-on-like-law.
Where it is?
We have to come in a Wonder Woman costume next time.
Just to ask them on the chest.
Like, no, it doesn't matter.
It's not Thrones.
Brent, I don't know if this will come in later in the season.
Like you said, we may not go to the bail again.
Is the moon door in already?
Has it already been installed?
Has that been around for a while?
Because I'd like the moon door to be Chekhov's moon door, somewhere in the ether right now.
Yeah, I think it's definitely been, I think it's like part of the Erie and has always been there.
So like hundreds and hundreds of years old.
But yeah, I would love some more Moondor.
Yeah, the moon door's sick.
We get the fish feed freestyle.
I thought that was cool when they were hopping in.
Like Damon started trying to spit some bars there.
They were all having a good time.
Then it gets real when he hears from Rainier about what's going on.
But then he continues to spit bars in a different form when he says,
the crown is not in the habit of giving castles to midwives to Alice Rivers.
That was a bar.
Shut up, you broke bitch.
You're not getting a castle.
That was like when Ozer asks the Ghostbusters,
are you a god?
And Ray says, no, don't piss off witches.
What are we doing here?
I'm screaming on my TV, right?
I know Knicks with me on this point.
Damon, we're Damon guys.
Might be the dumbest thing he's done in the entire show, which is saying something.
Like, just kids are broke-ass, hi, Harenhall.
Just here, fine, here you go.
Get there.
Great shots to Harenhow, though.
Yeah.
Awesome, awesome shots over it.
Burned by Hagon the Conqueror.
I mean, if they go back, when we get that movie, if, if Harenhall is in, like, you know,
like, it looks like a normal full castle instead of like half-christy.
I mean, it's got a guy.
Get us the movie.
Like, is the movie filming?
We need the Conqueror movie.
We just got Super Chat.
Schmitty with 1999.
That's a lot of money.
Thank you, Schmiddy.
Appreciate that.
This is the best two episodes in a row.
This entire franchise has put together ever.
Held breath waiting to see if gold cloaks would sell team black out the way
Ned Stark in Game of Thrones.
Fuck Clan Clancy for skipping the intro.
And then Jacob Livingston's left from last week.
Two for two.
We are all the way back.
Alice is going to be on one for Damon not giving her Harenhall, her and Amid are a scary duo.
Now they are.
It literally felt like the Dr. Evil when he fucking slides over to a gold member.
And he says, how about no?
That's what Damon to Dallas.
That's a great reference.
Oh, and then this was great.
We cut to fucking felt like Harold and Kumar, the foot purse.
and Harvey Dent back in danger.
And it's such a hilarious dichotomy
between when they get into the battle,
fucking Agon shank in a dude
to death like he's in prison.
And then we have Laris like booping someone
with a bird page.
It's like the weak-ass, crippled version
of Ari and the Hound.
That's what I felt like I was watching.
He's too many of them and how are they going to survive
the whole time?
Wait, if I was like, I am surprised.
Yeah.
It was that shot from the Irishman where, like, they Cigied him to
and he kicks and just like a little awkward.
You're like, how is the guy who's like 75% dead with an exploded dick
doing all the heavy fighting and the heavy work?
That's so funny.
Really good stuff.
Really good stuff.
And then we get Bayla and Alan have a conversation.
They eventually find Corliss and he's like, what can I give you but my name?
And then it's, you know, oh, shit, he's getting the name.
That's a cool moment for, uh, it was, uh, Alan, right?
Not Adam.
Adam's the one with the long hair.
I promise you, I will never get those names right until the end of the time.
I am right about that, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
Old guy, dragon guy.
That's how we call this house.
I mean, he's given both of them the name, right?
He's not just picking Allen.
That would be fun.
I think they both get the name, right?
It's like, it's like, he's got a dragon.
Like, I know he didn't.
and just sitting in a battle, but.
I thought we were going to get a little bit more.
I thought he was going to have him kneel and, like, night him like,
Brianne when she finally gets to become right.
Yeah.
I kind of thought so, I thought someone was going to, like, say it out.
I thought they're going to be like, Alan Fuller.
Something.
Give me, like, a trumpet.
I don't know.
Like, give me some fanfare.
This is like his entire light, like drama, you know?
The bane of his existence is finally over, and he just goes, cool.
It's crazy.
He acted like he's been there before.
Yeah, I guess so.
And you know he wanted high tide and all those treasures.
Yeah, come on.
All right.
No, I don't want the fucking name is great.
Take the name, I guess, yeah.
Take it over a mountain of gold.
Yeah, you wouldn't take it over a fucking dragon, though.
That shit's even more.
That is true.
That is true.
Then we get our weekly Dick scene with Allison going down to the Gold Flood Commander Spa.
And just Dick's thrown in there really for no reason this week.
It was just they wanted a couple background days.
Imagine, I listen, I was at the background actor and disclosure day for all but 0.2 seconds.
Imagine filming like 15 hours on your feet with your dick out and then you get cut.
You get a lot more money.
And when I was doing that back the day, shameless would post all the time being like,
we're looking for full frontal males like.
And normally they hide the scene.
They were like, you will be waking up on the front wall and after a party completely naked,
standing up on camera and walking across.
And like, I didn't have money at the time.
I thought about it flying.
I would have done it.
Like, it was, I was a month away from doing it.
Proliferation of dicks on television.
Like, if you take, like, from when we were growing up, it was like, I don't know, like maybe
one movie, like Boogie Nights or something, that was it.
Now there's dick on your television every single Sunday night.
Anything on HBO, you're getting dicks hard, flaccid, fake, real.
Dicks everywhere the last 15 years.
Jacob said
Oh, go ahead, Clem.
No, I was going to say as my guy, that's for Xxed.
A very average, very average dick.
I'm happy when they're not like huge.
I'm just like, oh, God.
Yeah, come on.
And I did say, I was like, all right, we've had enough of this.
And I'm thinking my wife's brother like, you get tits like every week.
All the time, yeah.
One time there's just a little bit of male nudity.
But they don't even want dick.
That's the tragedy.
They don't want to look at a bunch of flaccid dicks.
It's like, uh, nobody wins here, Johnny.
I was rewatching.
I think it's like season two.
of Game of Thrones when Littlefinger
is like coaching
two whores through sex
I was like this is the most
gratuitous like there's no
reason for that whatsoever and he's like
play with her ass like
it's like the ass and I'll skip
where they said that the showrunner was just
a 13 year old boy who was like let's have
some more tits
they're making up for that
we've got jigging he's just skipped over this
slightly what is Damon's reaction when him and
Rainier find out his daughter is partially responsible
for the death of Jason. I don't think they know, right?
I don't think they know that as the daughter.
Yeah, it doesn't sound like anybody knows yet.
It seems like she recognizes her.
She's like, go get that drag.
She is kept her mouth shut on that, right?
Yeah. Oh, did Bailey recognize her? I know, I think, I know Raina said that's my sister.
So Raina recognized Bailey, but maybe you're right. I'm not, I'm not sure.
It might have been the other way around.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Kevin said, why would Raina think she could get protection in the veil? Is that in the book?
Why not go to Damon and explain herself? I guess it's just like, she doesn't, like,
like that's like the most intimidating thing to do right she thinks like she's going to get in trouble
with her parents yeah i like this i think that this is guys a book reader like this is a complete
and total different departure and i'm like is she kind of like is this like a villain arc is she
going to like be a bad guy in some of this because she's not going back she's not asking for
forgiveness she's just going to hide i mean you know live it out in the veil and we'll see what
happens because again we don't know like the book readers have no idea what's going to happen
and that's where she was beforehand right like you said they were sending her to
pentose or whatever so she's like my bad guys didn't get on that boat
got this dragon and i just like chill here ruined the whole war
by the way i saw someone's called said sheep sealers more like draymond green he attacks his own
teammates short of by the way i just read the comment first bob and they'll say i do agree
with this comment gold cloak gold cloak's armor goes way harder than in the ogy game of thrones
i don't know i don't have the side by side next to me but i noted in this episode like god damn
that's great armor yeah and just in general they're just like the more
badass cloaks, right? The whole thing was like we need some guys can get a little dirty.
So they're just a cool badass gang to begin with.
It's just right. The gold cloaks are like the police department, like a good, really,
like the strongest of the police department, whereas the Kingsguards like the Secret Service.
Is that fair to say?
I think you can say that. I feel like it's like the gold cloaks are like a strike team,
like the corrupt cops, the dirty cops. Wow. The white cloaks are like the guys, the detectives
behind the desk.
Denzel, Dr. Dre, and all his crew from Training Day.
Yeah, exactly.
Still and Roger and taking his drink.
I didn't know you like to get wet.
Before we move on, I just got to say,
because we brought up Sheep Steeler and some of the jokes that were going on,
one of the best executed, like, meme campaigns a show has ever done.
And I'm sure producers and writers all have to think about that now.
Like, how are we going to have, like,
our episodes turn into a moment and giving him the underbrush,
bite and making him act that way, like black Twitter getting a hold of it, people doing press
conferences with the Dragonhead, like, filter on, you know, sheepstealer wears white air, black air
forces.
Like the jokes were just flying.
And I'm sure some of that is a little bit unintentional, but I'm sure some of it these days
is intentional.
And when you get a home run like that, it's probably worth so much in advertising and marketing
that the world just does for you for free.
So, bravo to house of the dragon.
You know, people still debate out there.
Undeniable, they knocked that part out of the park.
That one with just a picture of his underbite.
Is it Jarkarath?
Yeah.
So good.
Like, those are the moments where I'm like, God damn.
There are so many funny people in the world that are just like sitting at their house,
just making funny memes and shit.
It was so good.
We're going to get a dark reaction meme from this episode.
I feel like Ray Niro, like pounding Jace's body,
is going to be people being like my team
like they want their team to get up or something
like that is going to be a reaction gift
and it's going to be a dark one if you know the context for sure
David Snyder gave five to just say
he's not never forgiven Clem for making us watch Boogie Knights
not what I was expecting from Clem at all
who doesn't love Boogie Knights
that's he just didn't like
I'm sorry for the giant dick that's all I can apologize
yeah and then Jacob said
House of the Dragon Gold Cloaks or the white cloaks
in a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
I think the gold cloaks, to be honest.
Yeah.
And this is when the gold cloaks are still cooking.
They still have some, their names ring out and shit, right?
Well, the white cloaks had the names, though, right?
That's the, that's Baylon and Damon or whatever they were, right?
I mean, those guys were badass, no?
The white cloaks are the Kingsguard.
Yeah, but in 97 kingdoms, there's, yeah, that's bad motherfuckers.
Oh, yeah.
You were pretty cool.
You know, just bringing up 97 kingdoms, I did not, in,
anyway think that like I'm like we're kind of in the same ballpark now.
The United Seven Kings were so good and I was just like it can't live up to it.
Can't live up to it.
And I seen a lot of negative reactions, particularly on Reddit.
It's, you know, just like a little echo chamber.
But I mean, these episodes just been fucking fantastic.
Let me tell you something.
I swear to God, the people who are still hating on this show are like addicted to hating on
this show.
And I say that because I spent a lot of my career hating and like I know what it feels
like when you make a prediction or you give a take,
and especially if you get some like notoriety off of it,
and you feel like you have to carry that take,
and then the exact opposite thing happens.
Like, and you, like, I've done that.
I've done it before where you just dig your heels in
and you are lying to yourself and everybody else
just to keep going with the take.
And I'm telling you people, if you just stop that,
you'll enjoy the fucking television show.
It's insane to behave like this.
Like, there are some criticism still, sure,
But the people who are just like, no, absolutely all terrible.
It's disingenuous and you're lying.
There's a whole lot of people who finally just said, you know what?
Jalen Brunson's really fucking good.
Yeah, exactly.
You have to die on that take hill until they finally, even Becky Hammond could say,
all right, I was wrong.
And then you just move on from it.
I don't want to jump ahead, but now J.B.'s name was brought up.
I was going to tweet, you know, Jalen Brunson with the handshakes with Rayneira
because getting up those steps right to that.
I mean, that is, like, that's a long, like, like, 20 of your kids died to get to that fucking chair, man.
Like, that's a big moment for her to sit on that.
So that had to feel like one-a dude moment for her.
Yeah.
We got Damon meeting up with Ulf and Hugh Hammer.
Really good, funny scene where he smacks the shit out of Ulf.
And basically, it tells him, like, wait, you waited two fucking days?
Like, I didn't realize the queen was taking your thoughts into account.
And Kev, you nailed it.
I think you were the one that said.
it last week that Ulf was basically just Ricky Jervas.
Like that's just who he is in this season.
Yeah.
It's exact like voice, delivery, cadence, style, everything.
Yeah, it's very good.
I don't know.
I was funny as far as I could throw them.
I was riding for them when they got their dragons.
They are going to play a massive role, I feel,
in some sort of big fuckery for Team Black losing a dragon.
In a bad way, do you think they're going to just fuck something up
or you think they're going to like turn?
Honestly, on purpose by mistake.
steak, backstab, it's all on the table.
And I don't even know if they're smart enough to even though they're doing it at this
point.
I think they're laying it on so thick that Ulf is like, or whichever one's the dumb one.
Like, I think it's either, that either means he's going to be like the unexpected hero.
It's almost like Randy Quaid in Independence Day, like the goofball who somehow saves
the world.
Or it's like Chekhov's gun, like at some point he's going to Dracharis like the whole team
by accident.
Like one or the other, they really lay that on thick, like every,
every single episode. It's the one-armed
arrested development meme, and that's why you
don't have some fucking moron wide one of your
dragon. Exactly that, yes.
Then we got Rainier telling Damon about
Sheep Steeler. He tells her,
well, I saw the song of Ice and Fire.
I saw this woman in the
desert with the dragon on her
breast and get all horny with it.
It's like, whoa, be careful what you're looking at there.
But good scene. Obviously, I like the
I know when we talk to Brendan
about this before the season began.
We were talking about that being, you know, a huge difference where it's, that's not
really in the book because it's, how would we even know based on how the book is written
that he told her about the song of ice and fire and stuff.
But I like giving us a little link like that, the Game of Thrones.
Oh, every time they do that, it's the point.
It's like they did it.
I like it.
I really do.
Maybe it's cheap.
Maybe it's fan service.
People say you're eating the slop.
I'll eat that slop every day at the week.
Absolutely.
All the slop.
Yep.
Brandz of
Whenever to remember,
Brand was the king,
Bram wagon.
And then,
and then,
then we hit the dark portion
of the episode
where,
where there's an attempted RAPE,
don't even want to say the word out loud.
Lord Jasper comes in on Allison
did not like that whatsoever.
At least the Grandmeister came in for the save
before too long.
You know,
it didn't get too far where we started really wins in and turning away.
It was like at least he burst in right away.
My note was,
Sir Jasper has some fucking nerve
when I just thought he was coming into like lecture her
and then he put you down and I'm like
oh no and then my wife's like is he
arresting her? I'm like oh please be arresting her right now
and then I was like he's not arresting her babe
and luckily that that Meister has like 7,000 lives
at this point I thought I thought it was the end of the line
for him tonight I was like this is where
you finally like you know this is a cat with his ninth life
but he wiggles out once again
I bet you I bet you he's up next with the
memes. I could see the joke starting to fly
with him. Yeah, I could see that.
Who always survives. Like anything
that couldn't apply like that.
Rainier crying
over Chase. That'd be funny if
his name was Chase. Gave me Godfather
Bob's. Look at how they massacred my
boy. Yeah. Channel and
some of that, I'm sure. I haven't seen the godfather all the
way. Being honest. During that scene
my, my fiance
pointing out that there was no music
or anything, it's like, yeah, she carried.
Like the entire thing, like they just let her
go. That was awesome. I also had, when Allison went to the gold clothes, she was playing it fast and loose.
Like, it was starting to get to the point where it's like, this is the last day. And then like,
obviously, and then the shit, again, they're putting, they put her through. Obviously, this being
hopefully the worst thing she goes through. I guess, actually, no, it's not even in this episode.
Then she sees her fucking dad's head later, but. Yeah, that would probably the worst part. Yeah. Yeah.
Rough go for your girl, Allie.
She's just a tough couple of years, man.
They're a kid and shit like that.
And like, I still, I really root for her.
I really, like, still, that's why I really think this is a good show where you're like, to me, there was multiple deaths and moments where you're rooting for both sides.
And, like, she's been through the fucking wars, man.
Yeah.
And Amy and kissed her last week.
Yeah, dude, in a matter of two weeks, she almost got raped.
She got incest and she, I mean, it's crazy.
She's got to be thinking like, it's been a hell of a weekend, man.
The way she was playing a fast and loose, it's like when you're playing like, like, I don't know, for us,
Gold and I, we have to sneak around shooting people and, like, sniping.
And they're just like, fuck it.
We got to like just, I got to leave him 10 minutes.
And you just run through the board and just shoot people.
Like, she was just letting it fly.
It was incredible.
It was Leroy Jenkins a little bit.
She's like, oh, fuck, he left.
I got to do this.
I got to do this right now.
We all might die.
I don't know.
Come on, Elena.
Yeah. Oh, that was also.
Helena getting in the mix.
Yeah, her guy.
Like, so it's like, oh, this freak when you're bringing her up to tell Frederick, like, don't shoot.
And she's like, yeah, don't shoot.
Like, she's just in the background basically echoing whatever.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Yeah.
Like, she'll not be a beast hard.
But she was like, she was feeling herself like, yeah, I did it.
Right?
I said the right line.
Yeah.
I get to keep my chickens.
Like, all she's wanted to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure.
Okay.
We'll give you the fucking chickens.
Like, whatever.
What does the cat?
Paterpillar mean.
Something's up with this caterpillar, butterfly.
There's some shit.
What you say?
It's not the season or something like that.
Yeah.
Not the season.
That felt intentional.
Spoiler shit.
I love how on my toes like just freaks get me in this universe.
Like even Bran, you know, when he's just appearing like he's on edibles, like it keeps me
on my toes.
I'm like, I can walk someone get beheaded and someone fucking going nuts and then losing
their mind in Haren Hall.
But when you give me just a freak saying,
vague shit. I'm like, oh, what's going on here? What is happening here? It's the beast beneath the
boards. It's, it's... Yeah. I'm paying attention to everything she says. When she says, like,
are we going to war? It's like, but you should fucking know. Yeah. I like how, like, they don't give her
much other dialogue, too. It's like, when she says shit, it's always, like, a little weird and then, like,
some... Yeah. Profit shit. The profit shit gets me.
Um, Vagar and Eamon fucking shit up at Harenhall, kills all the strongs.
But one of the strong gets just, I don't know if it was a true like miracle stab in,
but it looked like the perfect stabs, sliced him right in between the armor.
And then he drops at Alice River's feet as he's begging for help.
So again, yeah, that's, that's a, uh, a connection, a match made in hell, as they said at,
I believe, SummerSlam 90s.
Yeah, so what does she like save him or something?
Like, she must.
That was kind of.
weird the way that played out like it that looked like it could have been a death scene like he
struggles to get up there's a lot of blood and then like I can't imagine would be a good death for a
character like that I know it's not the end of him but like I think if it were I think it would
have been a decent end in terms of just like pure arrogance thinking he could go in and do that
and then some fucking you know quote of just a little but he's able to land it yeah yeah maybe
it'll be like the mountain where he comes back like you know a completely like zombie
instructed.
I kind of be here for it and make my costume harder next week, but I kind of be here for it.
Bob, you said it with the like SummerSlam thing.
And I'm thinking, like, did we just lose our Damon versus Amen match that we've been like getting slowly high.
And I'm trying to think like, what's the wrestling comp for that?
Did we mention it lastly?
I feel like this has been building.
This is like, it's not the mega powers, maybe Ultimate Warrior Hogan or something, like the up and comer versus like the established dude.
Like, I feel like that's going to be a sick fight.
Yeah, I was going to say, is it like, you know, if we didn't get it, would it, would they be the undertaker and sting?
Like something that people were always like, that would be awesome.
And then you never get it.
And it's like, oh, what a shame.
Also, listen, I'm Team Black for life.
But I think this is fair, right?
We all just, vague are fucking awesome.
It's like, oh, awesome.
I could be a Knicks fan and I've appreciated, like, Michael Jordan was just great at what he did, right?
Even though he's going to fuck us up.
But the guy is, he's fucking incredible.
He's, I wrote my note was, yeah, the holes in the wings for some reason.
He is, he is a star destroyer in a world of X wings.
When he showed.
My God.
That is fucking cool.
Brendan, no spoilers.
Jacob wants to know, does Aiman and Alice meet at Harren Hall or do they meet each other in the book?
Is that said it all in the book?
Yes, they did meet.
So that's accurate in the book.
Yeah.
Cool.
Brendan, I was going to ask, did Vagar was,
Vagar are part of the original burning of Harenhaw?
Because I added my notes like
Vagar's run of the playbook back.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, he might,
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I think he was.
If I had to,
if I had to guess,
I'd say anything,
I think he was because he's not,
I don't think he's from old Valeria.
The Black Dread,
Agon,
the Conqueror's dragon was from,
the last from Ovalari.
So I think,
I think Vagar was.
No, it's,
well,
according to Google,
so take that for what it's fucking worth.
Balaarian does it.
during a going on con oh burns oh yeah yeah yeah he may have not burned harranhall but he may have been around at that time but yeah um yeah agon just on ballerian does it does burn the castle
got and and listen schmitty i can't commit to this you could have just let that one slide you could have just let that one slide i don't want to chat
tom that's bad at least smitty says let's choose not to get mad if a man and spends the next few episodes tripping balls in harron hall like damon did last season i can't commit to that because there's a chance he has some
creepy mother dreams and I want no part of that.
Bob, I hate to tell you, bro.
That costume, it's going to get worse for you right now.
There's going to be a bad vision.
There's signs of me with free Connor signs.
You think that's a bad visual.
This is going to be even worse, brother.
I'll be honest.
I'm here for it.
I like it.
I like that.
I like when this show is at its best when it has a little bit of uncomfortable.
Like, what the fuck are we doing?
So let's go.
Ramp it up.
That's, I tweeted last week.
He's going to be like,
wait, you made Damon do what with his mom?
Can I get that?
Like, is that on the menu stuff?
And then we get the dragons arriving at Kingsland and cool scene.
Damon goes a bit overkill with the fucking stab to the chest and then throat slits.
Like, all right, all right.
He's fucking bad, buddy.
You don't need to slit his throat like that.
But they walk right into the throne room, stopped by Sir Ricard.
And then the city watch comes in.
No, we got Damon's back.
We remember our fucking boss.
we remember Queen Rainira.
Meister is like, oh, Jasper's downstairs, by the way.
And you got a present for, you got a present from Lara Strong.
It's Otto High Tower.
He brings him up.
And I'm thinking, oh, fuck, here we go.
First Otto thing of the season.
Didn't think it would be the only auto thing of the season.
Because when they bring him and it's made clear to Rainira, this is your moment.
Show you don't waver.
This is the moment you're going to become the queen.
Me and my fiancee both said to each other.
No, she's not going to do this, right?
I know.
Right?
No, we said, no, she's not doing this.
And then he tells her, let Damon do it because I don't want you to fucking hack me.
Yeah.
And then she hacks at him.
And she fucking does it.
And then the visual of the bloody footsteps going up to that throne.
Oh, my God.
Oh, the step over the puddle.
The step over the puddle is, that's Alan Iverson.
That's Alan Iverson over to Ron Liu in Westeroos.
And then the bloody,
footprints was like, I mean, that was cinema, man.
And you know what I liked was that she didn't like turn into an action hero and like
Ned Stark him.
There's snot and tears.
She's like kind of not strong enough to lift the fucking sword and just, you know,
and Otto being like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, man, that hurts a lot.
Yeah, that really hurt, man.
That's smart.
He's like, just said what I just said, I don't want.
to happen is currently happening.
It reminded me of a second
Austin power reference when
Bill Farrell is like, oh, this really
really hurts.
You getting hit by that ball this
weekend. Was that racquetball or something?
You literally tell Kegan,
hey, man, you got to be real careful.
Okay, you got to make sure you don't hit someone.
Oh!
That was straight out of,
that was an episode of TV, man. Telling my
kid, that's dangerous. And then the next
second I was blinded. I thought
I lost my... I thought I was going to have an iPad.
I was like, I'm not going to be, it's not going to be a costume come Sunday night.
Thank God I got better.
Yeah.
Oh, so fun.
There's not many times I can talk like artsy for these kind of shows or movies when I review them,
but that score was fucking money too.
I was like, we're getting, you know, throwback throne style scores where you're like,
I'll remember that song with that scene for a while.
And it was just nice that someone actually won the throne, took over the city,
even though it wasn't a battle.
And they won it like the old, like with someone's head on the ground and they walked to
the throne because we had all Searcy's like kids.
She took it over.
And then like I get, you know, obviously Danny at the end, but at that point the whole
city was fucking like he was the queen of nothing at that point.
It was kind of cool to see like an actual takeover of the throne, which I don't
Yeah, how many times just like somebody sit on it?
It's like Robert Barathean's in the beginning.
You have a couple moments with Searcy.
But it's funny that like the throne itself is not, you know, often occupied.
It's kind of like, you know, the carrot that you're always chasing.
but it's like the World Cup
I think the sixth countries ever have won the World Cup
Yeah right exactly
When I read that back
That's exactly right yeah
That's crazy
Jacob said at least it took Raymira
Two hacks instead of Theon's 20 plus
Yeah, that's true
Also sir Rickard Thorne
Who betrays Allison
You know who he's related to
Alicor Thorne
The guy who's an asshole to John Snow
At the wall
Oh fuck yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh, my God.
And by the way, I mean, it's Allison and Helena showing up to see, you know,
dad and grandpa's half a head just, like, rolling on the ground.
And I was thinking to myself like, oh, it's on now.
And I was like, you know, it's like, that's three dead kids later.
I feel like Allison's almost like throwing her hands up like, and my dad too.
Jesus Christ, guys.
Part of Allison's plan was to give up Adon.
She was like, I have to kill your son.
I have to chop your son's head off.
And instead it's like your dad's.
I mean, both sucks.
But she did agree to the other one.
And she kind of hated her dad by the end, right?
Yeah, but also, but also Allison knows Agon's got to go more so than,
than Otto, you know, but still, yeah.
Yeah.
Point.
Point, point.
So when she looked in and recognized what was happening, looked up to the throne,
great acting.
And then the look on.
on Rainier's face, her eyes literally like changing in that moment from like still like terrified,
shaking, trembling to like, yeah.
That's my shit now.
I just fucking did.
I'm on the phone.
By the way, has, maybe I brought this up last season.
I feel like I have brought this point up before.
Someone in the chat said that the throne looks, here it is.
Tyler said looks so uncomfortable.
It does.
Has nobody ever thought of putting a cushion on that thing?
Is that you can't really do that?
because it's like to sit on the throne, you've got to suffer.
Obviously, I don't think Rainier could be the first.
If a woman gets the throne and puts a cushion on it,
the other realm is going to really give her shit for that,
the mainstream media.
But has nobody thought a throne a little throat to throw pillow on that thing?
It's a throne made of sorts.
I think people are like it's, you know,
comfort is not going to be the number one priority.
Her fucking dad was like killed by the throne.
It kept fucking pricking him and his old.
Well, that's why nobody's sitting on the fucking thing.
It's that uncomfortable.
It's like,
Yes, the chair that looks nice in the corner of the room, but like, let's make this thing, let's make this thing sitable.
Oh, we're going to have, like, doilies on the fucking handrest now, Bob, because of women's, I'll never forget when Nargini took over Barstool, KFC, he goes, I'm going to write the first blog afterwards because we had like a two-minute, two-hour reprieve for blogs.
And you wrote like a girly blog about like a Kardashian or something just to get the common section, man.
That's like, oh, these cars who's gone girl.
We've gone girl.
We've gone girl that's the CEO's so funny.
They did say it's supposed to be uncomfortable.
It's supposed to be uncomfortable.
Well, you know what?
I don't buy any chairs that are supposed to be uncomfortable.
Yeah, like you think a king who's like in the lap of luxury and like just wants all the hookers and the food and the wine.
He wants a comfortable chair.
Give the guy a pillow.
I'm with you, Bob.
I would make the iron couch for sure.
I would say we're doing away with the throne.
We're doing a couch.
Yeah, that's that's the episode.
Was there any more notes?
Was there anything we didn't get into that you wanted to get into on this one?
I was curious
Is
Where do I have it
Is Agon going to Brooks
Russ?
Is that where his dragon still is?
Is it just like
chilling there
burnt to shit?
Like,
because they could obviously
get him back
But like
I don't know how you could
Like move a dragon
Without how people noticing.
Yeah.
Okay.
And I remember Brendan's saying last week,
I don't know.
It's a new show.
I don't know if this is what
he was referring to, but when he's saying there's crazy shit going at King's Landing,
we're at Kings Landing now. So I'm like, this could be coming any second now. I don't know.
Now I'm on my my toes about that as well. But like he says, it's new show. So who
I think there's what I was referencing. I think there's some time before that. Okay. But,
but, you know, I don't know if it feels like you lit a fuse and I don't know how long to fuse is.
Yeah, I think that's got some time. We have powder kegs. What's our powder? I was digging powder cake.
Right now because that's what I'm looking for.
From zero to sept of Baylor.
Oh, someone just reposted that because it was like 10 years since that came out.
I stopped what I was doing.
I rewatched the entire scene and I was just like, oh, my God.
It's perfection.
It is perfect television.
I don't know if it could ever be topped.
I think it can only be matched.
It's that good.
And that is original show.
Like, that's not in any George R.R. Martin stuff.
So it's just like, you know, I love, the books are fantastic.
They are.
They're fantastic.
But you can make fantastic shows that are not based directly on the book.
You know what?
Again, maybe I'm just a new man, but I sent it to the group chat, I think.
I don't know if everyone read it.
There was this guy describing, like, what it was probably like for George R.
Martin to write that final book where he's like every time he writes a new one,
it opens up like nine more generations of 20 different families.
And there's all these different timelines.
and to wrap it all up is almost like an impossible feat.
And he's almost like a victim of his own success.
And when I read that, I was like,
this is actually pretty tragic if that's the case
because he's like, he probably does want to finish it,
but like can't.
And the very thing that everyone loves is also the very thing
that's going to be the undoing of his legacy
is kind of like Shakespearean tragedy in its own right.
Wouldn't you just write it to get people to stop bothering you about it?
No, but that's like, then you mail it in.
I get that too.
where you like, you know, if I do it, I want to do it right.
But in order to do it right, I probably need to be about 30 years younger.
Like, it's hard.
But listen, if Dave Portnoy can write a book out this Tuesday, cancel me if you can,
pre-order on Amazon still available.
I think George R. and Martin has to be able to do it.
One day when we're making, you know, original HBO shows off the book rights of cancel me if you can,
this is the moment where it all begins.
The audio book, dude, when I saw this.
a clip of Dave
just like he's on he he's unable to
read Dave Dave
Dave Portnoy can't read and he's
worth like $500 million
he has got to be the most successful
illiterate person ever
by a mile it's insane
it's one of the best stories ever
It's like Mayweather's
becoming the best dragon in Westrose
basically it's like how
there is Mayweather is
by the way one thing
Bobby would be like you
God
go
Go ahead, Jeff. I was going to say, like, it would be like if Mayweather had his success because he
started a newspaper. That's what's crazy about Dave. Dave uses words and he doesn't know how to read.
One thing we didn't really get into is the white worm this week. This comments is we got in Syria
who's jealous of Rainier's ex-girlfriend, Allison, better stay armed. Yeah, that whole situation
and the conversation between her and Damon, I thought, was very good. Because that was just, that
this nitty gritty shit where you're talking to your ex and she's with your new person and you're like
what the fuck and they kind of still have a trust for each other because they're like they understand
each other that was good stuff some things are universal doesn't matter if you're in westeros or like
you know Manhattan and fucking uh you know murray hill like some you run into your ex and things
are weird and you're talking it's that was so very relatable in a weird way because it's like
nothing in this world's relatable but that was yeah that was good
And then Schmiddy also said before you guys leave, shout out to the sea snake.
We knew he wasn't dead, but he's a survivor.
Wonder what he and the kids are going to do now.
We also, did we talk about it last week or did we just text about it after the episode?
Dude's like 87 years old or something.
Yeah.
Crazy.
Yeah.
But older in the books potentially, nuts that he's born out.
Crazy.
Yeah.
The actor himself is 61.
I don't even think he looks 61.
I think he looks better than that.
He's a big guy, too.
He's like six foot, like two or six foot three.
He's big for an actor.
How about the season eight, though?
Like, he just lost all his real kids and, like,
replace them with fake kids.
Like, just, just like,
replacement players in the Major League Baseball,
just brought the new ones in.
It's crazy.
Anyway, that's my, that's my time, folks.
I'll see it.
I saw another super comment up here, Rob, about dragons.
I don't know how many other wild dragons there are,
I don't know if we're supposed to know anything,
but is there a chance we have other dragons coming at some point?
Oh, I see it here.
Yeah, I didn't.
There's definitely the cannibal.
I don't know if there's another wild one,
but the younger kids who I still think are very oddly missing.
The young Agon, the young Vassaris, and Joffrey were on the boat that Raina was supposed to be on.
They have little dragon.
Do they each have dragons?
Oh, right, right, right.
There's at least one little dragon.
I'm not sure if they both have dragons.
I'm not sure if they all three have dragons.
One of them.
They gave one to the veil.
That's what they were talking about.
Like, oh, we'll give you a dragon.
It was like, yeah.
It was a teeny one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They were like, we'll bring, you know,
we have to have dragons in return.
They gave them like a little baby one.
Jane Aaron was pissed.
But in the book, it kind of kicks off the battle of the golet
that those kids are taken.
And I don't want to say too much more,
but it's just like, are they going to address that at all?
like where are those kids?
Did they just make it to Pentos?
Like that again would be another big book departure.
But that, you know, could be fine.
It's so big deal.
Yeah.
There's only so many, there's an hour a week, man.
If we had a whole other storyline of those kids, I think it would just make the whole thing.
But like the kids are now the heirs to the throne, like Jophrush.
Right.
You know, so it's just like, I don't know.
Let's find out where they are.
Just give us a little update where they are.
Drop a pin.
And so everybody knows.
But it's just a little, like it has a lot to do with the Battle of Goet.
They've changed that.
can be good, could be bad, but we'll say.
There was, Jack keeps saying it's called the gray ghost too, the dragon.
Oh, great ghost.
I'm going to be a great.
I'm going to be a great ghost person.
That is a great.
It reminds me about the animated series.
That's who Adam West comes in in voices, like the vigilante superhero that inspired Batman.
Oh, I'll get real nerdy on it.
There was a still that was going around from one of the previews where it was a dragon
that everyone's like, who the fuck is this?
Because like they compared it and it was like one that we haven't seen,
people were saying either cannibal or gray ghost do we think lane or ever comes back jacob
living's the next thank you for all the super chats jacob and everyone that gave super
chats tonight by the way i think maybe like they made it so vague and they they kept him alive
like maybe he does but maybe he really doesn't maybe that was the sendoff i don't know i was about
to get i mean yes i was i thought we lost her boy for a second there the way they kind of lingered
with it yeah
MVP, LVP?
I'll go.
I mean, LVP, not for own fault, but is it Allison this week?
Just because, like, you couldn't have lost more than her.
Yeah, she just, it's not like you were the LVP.
It's like you are just taking Ls that are unbelievable levels.
Just big fat L's left and right fans.
I'll tell you who my MVP was, beheadings.
Just beheadings in general.
Those were two, well, three, I guess.
One clean shot, one not so clean shot, but like they kind of showed it.
They didn't cut away.
You got a split second of like, you know, side section or whatever they call out of a brain.
That was good.
That was some good old-fashioned, oh shit type thrown stuff.
And don't forget, it's in the family of beheadings.
Heads had already beheaded.
We had the Lanister head on a spike with the lion.
I always appreciate when they throw the animal.
I did not like when they did it with Rob Stark, actually.
I take that back.
That's wanted me for days when his fucking, you know, Dyer Wolf was on his,
body. But that was pretty bad.
Their kissing the lion and everything was pretty sick.
Also, just the way that
my MVP is, Rainier
is stepping over the blood and the footsteps
to the throne. Like, that was cinematic.
That was good shit. I was going to
say, Rainier has to be my MVP.
She wound up on the fucking throne. She won,
right? Is the show over? Yeah. I know.
Like, for a show that
like we often said, like, it's not
giving us anything. They kind of
gave us the whole thing in season
episode two of season three. Like, what fuck?
no offense to Jalen Brown here I'm going with my MVP I'm going analytical on you guys here
I'm telling you right now this episode we're going to look back to be like this was the real MVP
it's the fucking club foot boys by feeding him I'm feeding her auto now that is reopened this war
has the whole fucking the greens they're going to be kicking each other's ass and acon's
going to be fucking like finding milk of the poppy finding his burnt dragon and praying to
god he can fucking like make a comeback he they survived that little
kerfuffle or whatever was.
My boy, the club foot's playing the long game.
And I'll listen, I'm not going to say my
boy. I take that back. But like, I got him.
My boy's great.
But you got to respect him.
It's tough. It's harder to defend the club.
You do it.
That's a little finger type move.
Yeah. Yeah.
Just driving that one in the holster.
Like, you know, we got him down here.
We got Otto down here.
I was going to say. You know what's interesting about Rainier?
Let me wrap up on Rainier.
Like, she did get to the throne, but she still kind of looks like weak and like, like,
Oh, yeah.
Very shaky to me.
So it's kind of cool.
They're doing a good job of like, obviously in a very fantastic show.
Like, a lot of it's real where it's like I kind of, you know, you got to the Iron
throne, but I bet she's going to have some thoughts of like at what cost because she's still
not, you know, totally sold on it.
So I think that's really good.
She's already saying in bed this week with Damon.
Right.
Where she was like, I did all this for the fucking chair.
That does not even comfortable?
Yes.
Not even a couch.
Oh, by the way, LVP?
let's throw some fucking votes towards Damon.
He fucking killed the whole character
and he died pretty much.
I was going to say
he died feeling NPCs.
Yeah. Yeah.
Nobody.
You know what that?
The last time there was a pointless death like that,
it was Aria killing the Night King,
which is a quick stand.
That was as bad as that.
I was going to say the reason I thought he was LVP
is because like he always tries to be like a badass like Damon.
And like the way Damon came through was cutting people down,
he's trying to do the same.
He's doing to a bunch of unarmed dudes,
still get stabbed,
and then cries like a little bitch immediately.
Like he turns into a kid again every single time he's hurt.
And like it just shows like, yeah,
he's not meant for this game.
I also like that they showed Damon.
Damon is that motherfucker.
Every time they need to remind you every now and then that he is a true warrior.
And he just slice through those guys, no problem.
Although he did, like when all those guards came out,
he was like, whoa, whoa.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He was.
Yeah.
What is happening here?
He's like,
Rainier,
stay close.
We're about to get jumped.
You don't know what we're going to do.
I feel like Damon has had five, like,
scenarios like that where everything looks bad,
and then the cutscene starts,
and he gets saved by someone else somehow.
Like the cutscene has saved this guy's ass every time.
That's all I had this week.
Anything else from you, boys?
Keep the train rolling, baby.
I'm sorry.
have you can go. No, but I do kind of believe
in like, we got the finale, now that was a premiere.
This next episode, I think, will be
like, are we just going to have a good
episode of television, or were you able to kind of
salvage it with two bangers, or is this
going to continue? So I will probably
just continue. Oh, that'll be
so sick. We just got like eight straight weeks
and then you factor in six of the
Nine of the Seven Kingdoms, and it's like, this show is just
and then all of a sudden, this is my theory
coming to life where it's like, now we go back
to having more seasons of good thrones
than bad seasons, and all of a sudden,
everything's good again, you know?
That's a good point.
And, like, just get me to football season.
Like, that's all I'm asking from Thrones.
Like, the Mets are dead.
The Knicks, like, the Knicks can get me through a bunch, but at some point I can't
keep watching them.
They didn't play enough games this supposed to be able to.
It's like, not enough moments.
I can't watch the first half of half these games.
They're losing by 30.
So, like, if Thrones can get us there, Spider-Man, X-Men, and then we get to football season,
then everything's mission accomplished.
By the way.
We got X-Men 97 this week, too, boys.
Three episodes coming up first fucking thing too.
When the dragons first arrived at King's Landing,
there's this point where one of the green guards up on like one of the little like castle tops runs away and they like paused on him.
My wife's like that's a big actor.
I thought it was John Cena with a wig.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I feel like they lingered on him for next time.
I kind of know the scene you're talking about that could be a big actor.
I was actually when they cut to when they cut straight from like a it was like a sad scene.
I forget exactly what it was.
It might have been the Bayla scene or something.
to them freestyling,
I was looking out for like an Ed Shear and again.
I was like,
some Ed Shear are going to be in the background of this.
Like, yeah.
We should get,
HBO,
hit us up if you need five extras.
We would be perfect for the roles.
I have been in a Spielberg movie.
Exactly.
An accredited star over here.
And guaranteed to get a whole bunch of reactions.
That's what you're looking for.
Yeah, guaranteed.
Also, like, look, you could make me a fucking,
Targary and I could rock a win.
They haven't done anything with the girl with the black.
They haven't said anything, right?
That's supposed to be Black Allie.
I know, yeah.
She's still factor in.
They showed her this episode and I kind of thought they were just like a conversation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like craft services at Game of Thrones would be awesome because it's HBO, the budget.
But it's like in Europe and they're probably just eating like little fucking all the shit that all the World Cup people are like, this stuff in America is so much better than the food.
Put your toast for everybody.
Just like unlimited toast.
All right.
All right, boys.
We'll talk to you guys next week.
Thanks for tuning in.
Thanks for all the super chats.
And we'll see you back in Westeros next Sunday night.
Let's keep it rolling.
