These crackers kill you.

For the price of one dior dash order. Hello, and welcome to the Royal Highness podcast, where we watch George Martin shows for the first time. While we're enhanced with cannabis products, and then we talk about them while we're still enhanced with cannabis products. And we are watching season three of House of the Dragon. Hello, Spencer.

SPEAKER_03 2:22

Hello, Aileen.

SPEAKER_06 2:25

Season three, episode four, titled Tumbleton.

SPEAKER_03 2:30

I'm sorry, I can't. That's one word.

SPEAKER_06 2:33

I know. HBO Max says Orman's invasion. Okay. Orman's invasion of Tumbleton forces Raina into a corner. Now, considering how long last week's description was, this is like what the we're back to. Somebody looks at somebody, somebody else has a thought. That's what we're back to.

SPEAKER_05 2:59

Oh man.

SPEAKER_06 3:01

I have so little hope for this episode. It's called Tumbleton. What in the fucking boobas? Man. What in the fucking JR Tolkien?

SPEAKER_03 3:13

Tumbleton. What is the boobas?

SPEAKER_06 3:17

Are you unfamiliar with the boobahs? Your kids miss the boobahs. They must have. Okay, so the boobahs were an abomination that my oldest loved. And they were these star-shaped dancing things. And they'd go, ooh. And they they were they were British, like kind of like the uh Teletubbies.

SPEAKER_03 3:44

Oh no, okay. Uh you don't need to say I just feel like that's the first one.

SPEAKER_06 3:49

I'm afraid here's the funniest thing.

SPEAKER_03 3:51

So there's a a lady and Mrs. Lady.

SPEAKER_06 3:55

Yes. And when they would propel to propel themselves, they would fart.

SPEAKER_03 4:00

They'd go. I'm gonna read these names. Can I read the names? Zumba and Jingba and Humba and Zing Zing Zingba and Jumba. Yep. And Mrs. Lady. And grandpapa and grandmama and Mr. Man.

SPEAKER_04 4:20

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 4:22

And sister and auntie and brother and narrator. Those are the 13 characters on the Booba television series.

SPEAKER_06 4:31

And you can see a picture of them, correct?

SPEAKER_03 4:32

Yeah, and uh they have names. People played these characters, they were in those costumes.

SPEAKER_06 4:38

Oh, of course they were. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 4:40

Deeply ashamed to be human.

SPEAKER_06 4:43

I'll tell you what, my kid loved it when she was like two.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

I'm gonna have to have a talk with that kid.

SPEAKER_06 4:56

Okay, we get a recap. Like saying, I'm pledging allegiance to the queen. We know that's a bunch of shit now, but um, we see Damon taking his quote nephew. Uh uh Aegon and Laris hoofing it 10 feet from their wig, I guess. Eventually we find we saw we see Crispy looking up and going, hey, time to go to Haranal. Everybody's like, time to go to Haranall. But we see the strongs get killed, and then Eamon get killed. And uh we see Ormond reading Eamon's note saying, ooh, we gotta wait. Um, and then Rainey's talking about Sheep Stealer having a rider, and she's like, find them. And Damon's like, yeah. We see uh Raina getting asylum with Lady Erin, kind of attempting to obtain asylum. Yeah, okay. Uh I mean it's basically a sitchin of situ. It's a sitchin. You know what? That is a much shorter uh then situation. I'm gonna make it a thing. So it was a sitchin where uh lot of people don't know that word.

SPEAKER_03 6:05

That's my word. I invented it.

SPEAKER_06 6:07

Sitchin. It's a sitchin where where does a big ass dragon live?

SPEAKER_03 6:13

In a cave.

SPEAKER_06 6:14

Anywhere it wants to.

SPEAKER_03 6:15

So that's right, I forget the answers. These are answers I should have memorized.

SPEAKER_06 6:20

Okay. Is Hugh and Hugh is the big blonde man. Yes, he's the sensible cat is his wife, and that's the woman who's like the central figure in this weird thing later on.

SPEAKER_03 6:36

In the Tumbleton vignette, yes.

SPEAKER_06 6:39

Yes, okay. So we see Rainey wanting me to anoint it, and they're like, no proof Agan's dead, so psh. We see a little bit of the rat dinner, and um how she's telling Cortis, can't recognize your kids, sorry. Uh, finding out that Darren is fake and that the high towers have taken telling.

SPEAKER_03 7:00

Did you did you see the image that I sent to the group chat on your on your cellular device?

SPEAKER_06 7:06

Oh, on my cellular device. Oh yes.

SPEAKER_03 7:14

Okay. That's that's a modified image, listener, of last week's scene when uh Alison r realizes that the Darren that's in front of her is a different Darren. Oh my god! They changed Darren! It's fucking what? It's bewitched.

SPEAKER_06 7:33

Oh man, what's the theme song?

SPEAKER_03 7:36

I can't remember because all the different Darens.

SPEAKER_06 7:45

All right, so while it's while it's loading, we see the thing that says violence, adult content, brief nudity, and adult language. So just more than adult content and adult language. So we're gonna learn more than that.

SPEAKER_03 8:00

I put it to you that those things are not in order by their amount.

SPEAKER_06 8:04

I think they are.

SPEAKER_03 8:06

Well, if that's the case, then brief nudity should have been the last thing.

SPEAKER_06 8:10

Well, how much adult language did we get?

SPEAKER_03 8:13

Not much well, we got a rapid fire cunt session.

SPEAKER_06 8:17

That's true. But I would say we got more of that than we did the brief nudity. You are correct.

SPEAKER_03 8:23

Because we got exactly one pair of butt cheeks.

SPEAKER_06 8:26

Yes, we did. I but I think they have to say that that's brief nudity.

SPEAKER_03 8:30

Because a man standing up out of a bathtub, what do you expect? Well, you expect nudity. So don't be shocked by it. Spoilers.

SPEAKER_06 8:40

Here's here's my question.

SPEAKER_03 8:42

Yes, hello.

SPEAKER_06 8:43

Why from behind?

SPEAKER_03 8:44

I because it shows that he is not afraid to just dangle all out all over the place in front of these people and establish his dominance. See my junk? Look at my junk. You see it? I don't give a shit where you sleep. I'm sleeping here. Goodbye. By the way, that's the first scene.

SPEAKER_06 9:07

Yeah, well, first we see them dragging logs to the castle and the knights all standing around, moving peasants along and rounding everybody up. But wait, before that you had.

SPEAKER_02 9:19

What behind the rabbit?

SPEAKER_03 9:21

No, there was a actually, Mike, to be fair, my notes say wabbit river logs chickens.

SPEAKER_06 9:29

Mine say bunny. Good to see one not on a pole over a fire or being skinned.

SPEAKER_03 9:35

Yeah, no, because we're not dealing with the Dothraki at this point.

SPEAKER_06 9:38

So correct. Not yet.

SPEAKER_03 9:41

Who knows?

SPEAKER_06 9:42

Yeah, but so I would you know what I would give for some Dothraki right now.

SPEAKER_03 9:47

At this point, they would do something. Yeah, so uh soldiers are being quartered.

SPEAKER_06 9:53

Can we talk about can we talk about how the show is is kind of slow?

SPEAKER_03 9:57

We can. It's kind of slow.

SPEAKER_06 10:01

Do we how do how are we feeling about it so far? We're at the halfway mark.

SPEAKER_03 10:06

This is oh this is halfway?

SPEAKER_06 10:08

I believe so. There's eight episodes, aren't there, Mike?

SPEAKER_03 10:10

Season three consists of a drum roll on this shit. Episode.

SPEAKER_06 10:20

That's what I thought. Yeah, so we're now halfway through.

SPEAKER_03 10:22

We're halfway.

SPEAKER_06 10:22

Okay, so think about okay. So the knights are all standing around, they're moving people around, they're rounding everybody up, and then like, um, now you're gonna sleep at Bobby's house, and and Bobby, you're gonna, you know, you you now be nice to them, and then okay, now you guys you're gonna sleep with the Johnsteins down here. Now they're they're they're vegan, but it'll be fine, but they have extra beds, so you're gonna guys are gonna sleep in there. And basically, they put Lady Footley is the owner of this one house where I we learned his name later, but I can't remember it now.

SPEAKER_03 11:05

My understanding is that the Footleys are the lords of the uh Tumbleton. The Lords of Tumbleton.

SPEAKER_06 11:12

They are the Lords and Lady Footley of Tumbleton.

SPEAKER_03 11:17

I mean, it's very cute, isn't it?

SPEAKER_06 11:19

It's kind of precious.

SPEAKER_02 11:21

It's very precious.

SPEAKER_06 11:21

This is Lady.

SPEAKER_02 11:23

That's what we should have called Larry the Limper, was Lord Footley.

SPEAKER_06 11:26

Lord Footley. He gets a better nickname today. Yes, he does.

SPEAKER_03 11:31

Um we forgot to mention that the soldier who is quartered in uh Hugh's brother-in-law's house immediately gets rapey. But without doing anything. But I'm like, great, where's Dunk when you need him? Sir!

SPEAKER_06 11:44

Stop raping!

SPEAKER_03 11:47

I just pointed at the corner of the room like it, you know. It just helps when you do the thing.

SPEAKER_06 11:52

Ruger looks at you like, I didn't, I didn't, but I'm not.

SPEAKER_01 11:57

Sorry I didn't mean to rape. I was just sitting here, farted earlier, and it was real bad.

SPEAKER_06 12:01

Okay, so this is or this is the the Lady Footly and her useless husband are standing there look and Ormond's in the tub, and this is our brief nudity scene where he basically stands up, we see his butt cheeks, woo-ha. Um, and she's like, Is she a queen? No, he says, Ish is Renairs a queen or a bitch with a dragon? And I'm like, I would take the second one. I'd rather be a bitch with a dragon.

SPEAKER_03 12:30

So she hasn't done anything queenly other than pass out some bread.

SPEAKER_06 12:35

Yeah, and then he starts, you know, they start complaining about the guys staying with them, and then he gets a raven from Baratheon.

SPEAKER_03 12:43

I'm like, who is Boris Baratheon?

SPEAKER_06 12:46

Boris Baratheon. He's stalling.

SPEAKER_03 12:49

And uh there's no Orman says send him another one, probably one with pictures instead of words. And I'm like, I kind of I'm getting to like Orman, he's funny. I don't like Orman. I I stopped liking him as the episode went on further, but I thought he was he's amusing.

SPEAKER_06 13:06

See, he has the dumb and dumber haircuts. I'm telling you, I hate it.

SPEAKER_03 13:11

You are more offended by hair dudes than anyone else who has ever watched television. It could have been, you could have been, you know what it's what what was the show with uh Telly Savalas in it? It could have been that, and you'd have been like, I don't like his hair. He doesn't have any fucking hair. Well, it's not the right kind of not hair. So says I leave. No, because not important. It's the fact that he's a prissy ass who makes his own potpourri every day. That's what makes him amusing. That's not his hair do.

SPEAKER_06 13:48

I think it's snuffin' drugs.

SPEAKER_03 13:51

No, no, no, no. Remember, see where my mom talk about.

SPEAKER_01 13:56

You have to wonder if what was in that thing was actually a drugs.

SPEAKER_03 14:02

No, later on, we're we find out from Alice.

SPEAKER_06 14:05

I want to do the accent so bad, and I'd get totally canceled by the three people who listen to our podcast.

SPEAKER_03 14:12

Has it ever, ever stopped me?

SPEAKER_06 14:16

No, but it uh so when uh Iron Chef first came out on the Food Network, and it was all Japanese, but it was dubbed over. And it was done in Japan. It was shot in Japan.

SPEAKER_03 14:29

I love Iron Chef. I fucking love that show.

SPEAKER_06 14:32

Oh, but the original, the original, yes, oh my god, it's the best.

SPEAKER_03 14:37

It's so high energy, everything.

SPEAKER_06 14:39

Oh yeah. And it's like he's like, ah, so uh we have secret ingredient is oregano.

SPEAKER_05 14:50

Oh and then some of the little Oh you have to do that loud.

SPEAKER_03 14:58

I've never had squid ink mixed in with oregano quite so well. And I I think my favorite because it's always fucking squid ink. Every fucking episode there's squid ink. Like we don't just go down to the store and grab squid ink. You have to like travel. Anyway, my favorite secret ingredient would be battle. Cheeto! See what they do with Cheetos.

SPEAKER_06 15:25

Yeah, like chopped.

SPEAKER_03 15:27

Only well, no, the every every every um uh dish that's made.

SPEAKER_06 15:32

You know, a couple of starters and entree, and who would be your who would be your dream chef for the che the cheetah battle?

SPEAKER_03 15:40

Oh, it has to be Guy Fieri.

SPEAKER_06 15:41

I was gonna say it's gotta be Guy Fieri. Only he should take us the flavor's game. I think he has to judge it. I think he has to be one of the judges.

SPEAKER_03 15:49

He would say it was off the chain.

SPEAKER_06 15:51

Him and Alex Grumpy Pants. I could never pronounce her last name.

SPEAKER_03 15:55

It's very long in Italian. I can't remember it either. I've spent a lot of time watching the Food Network, and I'm kind of ashamed. Let's move on.

SPEAKER_06 16:02

Okay, so um. Let's see, where are we? Oh my god, I'm only on the second pane.

SPEAKER_03 16:14

Scene two, Brainy doesn't understand why Tumbleton.

SPEAKER_06 16:19

Ah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:20

It's our place, they like us. And so Orwell's like, maybe instead of flying your dragons there and cooking the place, we march there and and like root them out one at a time. Yeah, and she's like, That's a great idea. You can be Grand Maester still. Also, don't touch those balls. Because he reaches for an orb of attendance and she goes, Stop that from an old age, a dead practice from an old age or something. And he just drops it and I went clank, those are pool balls.

SPEAKER_06 16:51

No, those are like crystal, I want to say crystal balls. But if you ever go to like a rock shop and they'll have the spheres made of different kinds of crystals and and and rocks. Yeah, I think that's what those were.

SPEAKER_03 17:03

Those are kind of like it sounded like pool balls. Maybe the foley guy didn't know how to do it.

SPEAKER_06 17:07

It did the clickety clack clack.

SPEAKER_03 17:09

Well, Miss Ariya then says, We're still poor, so how about instead of accepting blame for being being broke, we we we get a master of coin and blame him.

SPEAKER_06 17:21

And and Randy's like, hey, you know what?

SPEAKER_03 17:23

I met a guy.

SPEAKER_06 17:25

Just the guy. It's weird beard dude from it's Torin Manderley. Toran Manderley. You know what? Even the name is like some guy you would meet at a party who like sells cars, and he'd be like, I've got the perfect car for you. He looked just like that.

SPEAKER_03 17:46

You could have driven there in a new car and he'd be like, That car sucks, man. Torin Manderley here, Manderley Auto. How you doing? Listen, um, what is it gonna take for me to get you into one of these? And he just slaps the top of a golf cart and it falls apart. You know what? I'm gonna have my accountant come back to you later because I can't give you that deal. I gotta I gotta make sure and clear it. You you're taking me to the cleaners on this one, let me tell you.

SPEAKER_06 18:12

Do you know how much this scrap is worth, sir? All right, Torrin Mandarin. We're right next to what was his name? The guy who sold vans.

SPEAKER_03 18:25

Oh, that was uh uh Littlefinger.

SPEAKER_06 18:30

What's his name? Baelish Baelish Peter Baelish is auto mall.

SPEAKER_03 18:35

Don't go to the Mandalorian guy, he's a cunt.

SPEAKER_06 18:42

Okay, we see uh Rainey and Alison talking about what Allie knows about Ormond.

SPEAKER_03 18:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:50

And she's like, well, he's kind of a dick. And then they talk about sending how sending kids away sucks.

SPEAKER_03 18:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:59

And that she sent Darren. No, that now we get Darren's backstory because before season three, I don't believe we had met Darren, correct?

SPEAKER_03 19:08

Uh he had he had been mentioned a couple times.

SPEAKER_06 19:10

Okay, I don't remember that. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:12

Nothing more than that in passing.

SPEAKER_06 19:14

Now we find out that she had sent him away to learn how to be a high tower with Ormond because the other three were raised as Targaryens, and look how they turned out. They all turned out as ass hats.

SPEAKER_03 19:27

So I mean, the only one that's even sort of normal is Helena, and she's kind of weird. She is also I noticed that Allison's picking at her fingers again. That was something we saw in season one. But she was doing it. I don't know if you noticed that.

SPEAKER_05 19:42

Yeah.

unknown 19:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:43

Anyway, as well. Here you go. Here we go.

SPEAKER_06 19:48

Allie tells at this point, you had no idea what this was about at this point, right?

SPEAKER_03 19:53

Hmm. I mean, I figured who uh who she was talking about, but why would she bring it up?

SPEAKER_06 19:58

Right. She's like Allie's like, oh, she pulls a, you know, uh uh, and by the way, right?

SPEAKER_03 20:06

Mm-hmm. Oh, she doesn't even say that. She just blurts it out.

SPEAKER_06 20:10

Ormond has a strong sensitivity to smells.

SPEAKER_03 20:14

Yes. She's yeah, Ray walks away, no, nothing, and Allison just goes, He has a sensitivity to odas. And we're like, who the fuck are you talking about?

SPEAKER_06 20:26

And then I literally wrote in all caps, foreshadowing.

SPEAKER_03 20:32

Well, it's foreshadowing and post-shadowing if you can do that. Because remember, he was really really getting his face into that perfume ball when he met the courier the first time we met him.

SPEAKER_06 20:46

Oh, I don't remember that.

SPEAKER_03 20:48

Mike remembers.

SPEAKER_06 20:49

I don't remember anything.

SPEAKER_03 20:51

Pepperd Farm remembers.

SPEAKER_06 20:53

Oh, I'm so glad they do. I wonder if they remember. I wonder if they know where I left my shit.

SPEAKER_03 21:00

Pepperd Farm knows where your shit is. Anyway.

SPEAKER_06 21:04

That's a service I'd pay for. Hey.

SPEAKER_03 21:06

I like it. Corless is getting ready to. Hey, could you re I I had a nice pen. Where is it?

SPEAKER_06 21:14

Right. When did you last see that pen? 2017? Oh, Corless.

SPEAKER_03 21:22

Separate Fab don't remember that far back.

SPEAKER_06 21:26

Corless is leaving and putting and like like leaving Alan there in his place?

SPEAKER_05 21:32

Alright.

SPEAKER_03 21:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 21:34

I was hoping you'd do that.

SPEAKER_03 21:36

I'm gonna every time.

SPEAKER_06 21:38

Can he do that?

SPEAKER_03 21:39

I mean, he's the hand. He can he can have a hand, an ad hoc hand, can't.

SPEAKER_06 21:44

Can he? I thought only the queen could could say that's that's not good, because like if he decides to turn on you, then you're fucked if he picked somebody bad.

SPEAKER_03 21:53

I think the assumption is that Alan would do what Corless would want. I understand that, but although Tywin did the same thing.

SPEAKER_02 22:00

Tywin did the same thing. He appointed was it It was Tyrion. It was Tyrion to act in his stead, his hand, yeah. So Something that the hand apparently can do.

SPEAKER_06 22:12

Yeah, and then you can kill your dad with an arrow in the toilet.

SPEAKER_03 22:16

Well, I mean, who among us?

unknown 22:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 22:18

Yeah. But for the grace of God.

SPEAKER_05 22:22

Or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 22:23

So he's taking a shit, right? I happen to have a crossbow with me, and I'm like, pop, there you go.

SPEAKER_06 22:28

So, how long has it been since the battle at sea?

SPEAKER_03 22:32

I don't really know.

SPEAKER_06 22:33

And I said this here because Corless looks pretty good. Like if it was just like yesterday, and he was literally in the ocean yesterday, just kind of bobbing with the waves, unconscious, and now he's riding off to battle.

SPEAKER_03 22:48

It has been at least five days. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 22:52

But because the next scene is Aegon and Laris tromping through the woods, and we see their cart behind them. So they haven't gone far. So it can't have been five days. It should have said five days ago. No, it's not a different cart.

SPEAKER_03 23:09

Look, Laris doesn't move very fast.

SPEAKER_05 23:12

Oh. It's been five days. They've gone a hundred yards. They can still see the guys. In fact, they're still kind of dying, going, I can still see you.

SPEAKER_03 23:24

Come, Gregor, we must move quickly. So they go to they go to the area, the forest outside, outside Rook's rest. So Eggin could see sunfire. A dead dragon. And he walks up to the dragon and he's got his face all up in him and he's petting on him. And and Laris is giv respectfully giving him some space. And some fella comes up and he's like, Shall she couple to touch the dragon. Alright. So he gives him some money. And he goes, That's two hands, it's two touches. Like fucking extortionist. So Laris gives him some more money. And what are you doing here anyway? Laris is like, well, I'm a man of the I'm a man of the cloth or whatever the fuck he said.

SPEAKER_06 24:08

You wouldn't kill a man of the of the cloth for a few pennies, which is something like that.

SPEAKER_03 24:14

What's wrong with your friend? Uh, simple.

SPEAKER_06 24:21

I thought he said, What's wrong with your foot?

SPEAKER_03 24:25

He does say what's wrong with your foot, but then he asks, What's wrong with with Egon? Not knowing that it's Aegon. And he just goes, simple.

SPEAKER_02 24:34

Now I need to point something out. So I always watch the show twice. I watch it once for entertainment, and then I watch it once and I'm getting ready for the podcast. Were you entertained?

SPEAKER_06 24:44

Eh. But do you ever watch it once and go, that was enough?

SPEAKER_02 24:49

Sometimes sometimes. Last week's was that was once was enough. But you can only watch administration so many times. So Larry Limfoot and Aegon are walking up to the dragon and they're talking beforehand, and they they show you a long shot, and you see behind Laris. The next time you see behind Laris is when he's paying those people, which inevitably or it had to be like five or six minutes later. He didn't let Aegon sit there for hours. Because when the guy comes up to ask for the money, they do the same take and they show behind him, and they've got a cart, they've got a fire, they've got a pot boiling already. It's like, wow, they just appeared and magically they've set up camp.

unknown 25:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:37

Somebody cast establish camp. Yes. And it was successful.

SPEAKER_06 25:41

I kind of thought that they didn't see them. I don't, I think it the way they shot it. See, that didn't strike me as strange. Because I think that with the way they shot it is as they walked up to the dragon, um, all they were looking, all he was looking at was the dragon and not paying attention to anything else. And all Laris was paying attention to was Aegon. And so it's as, you know, Aegon is, you know, doing the face touchy thing, and Laris turns around to give him some space, and that's when he notices the camp.

SPEAKER_03 26:11

So you think our our attention was narrowed to their attention.

SPEAKER_06 26:16

I believe so.

SPEAKER_03 26:17

And then as they become more aware of things, we become more aware of things. You mean like a show?

SPEAKER_06 26:22

It's quite genius if you say.

SPEAKER_02 26:39

That's right. Align with the stars and all other things.

SPEAKER_06 26:42

Anyway, click and the clicky clacky ruler. I love dad's clicky clacky ruler. Remember that?

SPEAKER_02 26:47

It was it wasn't a tape measure, it was a uh measuring stick, wooden ones that you the wooden ones that were eight inches long and they stacked up about 20 high, so you could fold them out. Yeah, we're old. We used to make things out of it and yeah, we did. It was awesome. Pictures and all sorts of stuff, yes.

SPEAKER_03 27:07

Um thinks that Sunfire is alive.

SPEAKER_06 27:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:18

But he's again simple. And Lara says, hey, we have to go. Sorry for your loss and all this, but we got a boogie. And I wrote because he's concerned about the dirt bags quickly surrounding them.

SPEAKER_06 27:29

Because who that pot's boiling, what's gonna go in there? Meat's meat, man's gotta eat. Egg on head. Uh, so the knights come across the crispy remains of the outer walls of heron holes?

SPEAKER_03 27:43

Yeah, this is Cole and and Gwen, and they're riding.

SPEAKER_06 27:49

We hear the our So the close captioning told me there was distant screaming, but I that's there's a bark. Thank you, Ruger. That was quite nicely, nicely timed.

SPEAKER_03 28:02

Scared the shit out of me.

SPEAKER_06 28:04

And we see these guys, they're Monty Pythoning their way through these winding dusty halls.

SPEAKER_03 28:10

And I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to stop. You were supposed to keep going.

SPEAKER_06 28:24

So Alice, the witch, finally, she's like, Do you think it was her making all those noise around the castle just like to freak him out?

unknown 28:32

No.

SPEAKER_03 28:33

So God damn it. To a certain extent, because I I believe that whenever we hear a goat, she shows up. There is a relationship between goat and Alice, and I don't know how deep that goes.

SPEAKER_06 28:48

If the goat bleeds three times, Alice shows up.

SPEAKER_03 28:52

So she pops in and they're like, Where's uh we're waiting we're looking for Amon? And she's like, Oh, he's not here. What with Renera taking King's Landing and all that? And they're like, What? And she goes, Oh, you didn't know. And then she's never around again.

SPEAKER_06 29:10

Does he know that he's dead?

SPEAKER_03 29:13

He may not be dead.

SPEAKER_06 29:14

Eamon?

SPEAKER_03 29:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 29:16

I thought I thought she killed him. Like Stabby stabbed him. Did he leave?

SPEAKER_03 29:21

He was wounded.

SPEAKER_06 29:23

Did he take off on Vagar?

SPEAKER_03 29:25

No. But they can't find Vagar, so he must then be alive. Also, I'm fairly certain that the story dictates he must stay alive.

SPEAKER_06 29:33

Well, yeah, we've only got we've still got four more episodes.

SPEAKER_03 29:36

Yeah. Want to see old chicken wing one more time? Chicken leg? Chicken chicken leg.

SPEAKER_05 29:41

Chicken wing. Hot dog zand baloney.

SPEAKER_03 29:44

Why did you just say what did she say?

SPEAKER_05 29:49

What Zambone?

SPEAKER_03 29:51

She just said hot dog Zan Baloney for absolutely no reason. Why did you do that?

unknown 29:57

Chicken wing.

SPEAKER_06 29:58

Yeah, because that's what we call chicken wing, hot dogs and baloney.

SPEAKER_03 30:02

Okay, okay, there's a song. Oh.

SPEAKER_06 30:04

I'm I'm unfamiliar with the song.

SPEAKER_03 30:07

Yeah, I am glad that I'm unfamiliar with it. But it's related to the actor having been naked earlier in season one, was it? Season one or season two?

SPEAKER_06 30:16

Yeah. He was lying on like on white sheets, and he's pale as fuck.

SPEAKER_03 30:23

Yeah, and it's and he's naked. And his big leg was bent up. He looked like a chicken wing.

SPEAKER_06 30:28

He was yeah, he was in a backwards N. Just like from head to butt.

SPEAKER_03 30:34

Snuggling with an old lady.

SPEAKER_06 30:38

That's a chicken wing.

SPEAKER_03 30:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 30:43

So they teach you in kindergarten.

SPEAKER_03 30:46

So they sit down at the table.

SPEAKER_06 30:48

Heads, butts, knees to the ankles. Cheeway.

SPEAKER_03 30:52

Well, that's a good song.

SPEAKER_06 30:53

I know.

SPEAKER_03 30:54

Mike is thinking it's time to find two new hosts for our podcast.

SPEAKER_06 30:59

Maybe after this series is over, since we don't have anything else planned, maybe we can all just forget this ever.

SPEAKER_03 31:11

Remember that one time we did a show? For two years.

SPEAKER_06 31:17

Holy buckets. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 31:19

So they sit around the table and they're like, hey, what do we do?

unknown 31:24

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 31:24

Why what do we do? He left. What do we do? Cole's like, no, I even wouldn't do this. There's another option. And Gwane's like, well, let's bird mail Ormond and have him join and we'll join him at Tumbledon. And Cole's like, no, this isn't some sort of game. You think it's a game that's mean and horrible? What we're gonna do instead is Guerrilla Warfare. We get crispy story here.

SPEAKER_06 31:51

He wants to keep the river folk from reaching King's Landing. That's his whole deal. Yeah. So he's his idea is we can't get them from the sky because Aemon's fucked off and we don't know where he is, and he's the guy with the dragon. So what we're gonna do instead is stay with me now, guys. Ninjas. We're going to become ninjas. We're gonna take them mana, mano, a mana in the dark of night, and stealthy stealthy, and we're gonna jump out of trees on their heads and shit like that.

SPEAKER_03 32:24

The clankiest of ninjas.

SPEAKER_02 32:26

Which is the same plan that Rainey has for ousting the high towers from Tinky Town.

SPEAKER_03 32:33

Also, it's the same plan that won us our independence as a nation.

SPEAKER_06 32:39

This is true. Oh my god, did you see what the White House posted about it? It was an official post of uh, you know, women uh marching for suffrage, and it says, uh, one of the great moments in our 250th anniversary or you know, history, except that the picture they used was from the women's suffrage movement in the UK.

SPEAKER_03 33:07

I'm impressed by the intelligence, they're just always on top of things, and they never lie. Honesty is like their watchword.

unknown 33:15

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 33:15

Can we blow the whole thing up and start over, please?

SPEAKER_06 33:20

So uh oh yeah. So he wants to, they're gonna become ninjas, and Gawain's like, uh I don't know. Rainey's looking at the ma a model, and we don't know what it is, right? Did you guys know what it was at first?

SPEAKER_03 33:35

I remember it. It's the the model that Viserys would work on when he was still king back in season one.

SPEAKER_06 33:42

The seat of old Valeria?

SPEAKER_03 33:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 33:45

I thought it was they talk about how dads are assholes.

SPEAKER_03 33:52

Yeah. Alan shows up. Do I have to do it again? There we go.

SPEAKER_00 33:56

Alan!

SPEAKER_03 33:58

And um and basically says dad went off to fight the Triarchy Raiders, and uh maybe he needs a good fight because he's been kind of sad.

SPEAKER_06 34:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 34:08

And then they start complaining about the rat catchers again, and Alan's like, you used to just get cats.

SPEAKER_06 34:13

Laris and Aegon are gonna try to hire a ship?

SPEAKER_03 34:17

The plan is to get to Bravos, is that what he said?

SPEAKER_06 34:21

Or I Davos, okay. They see kids looting bodies out just outside the rent fair. Yeah, that looked funny. And there was weird, eerie music playing.

SPEAKER_03 34:33

There's nothing but screaming and misery in this place.

SPEAKER_06 34:36

Whose dragon was that over the wall?

SPEAKER_03 34:39

That was uh Rainice. Remember when she fell?

SPEAKER_06 34:43

Right, right, right, right. How long ago did that happen? I would thought that was forever ago.

SPEAKER_03 34:48

Well, in our timeline, it was four years ago.

SPEAKER_06 34:51

Holy fuck! There it was, what, like last week? That dragon's looking pretty fresh. There's not a lot of flies.

SPEAKER_03 34:58

Well, I mean, how long? If I remember right, there was talk about eating the dragon, and they said that was bad. Um because it was an ill omen. I mean, meat is meat, right?

SPEAKER_06 35:09

Nan's gotta eat. So so Laris and Aegon come across this guy, and he's like, Well, you can hang out here, but you gotta work. And your job, Aegon, is to collect piss uh for the tanners and shit for the farmers. And he's like, not gonna. And Laris is like, yes, you are, and he's like, No, I'm not.

SPEAKER_03 35:33

I like how he keeps calling him Gregor.

SPEAKER_06 35:35

Yeah. Then we cut to Cat bringing home the girls.

SPEAKER_03 35:38

Well, you forgot the really great names that they were given. Oh, that's right. Um, Laris, Mr. Tangletongue, because he can read a little bit, and Egon is Mangleface because his face is mangled. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 35:51

Mangleface made me smile. Tangletongue. I could for some reason in my head I remembered it as Danglefoot.

SPEAKER_03 35:58

I mean, that's I think you just expressing expressing your wishes as we often tease Laris for his ineptitude in the foot department.

SPEAKER_06 36:09

Yes, dangle danglefoot, tooglefoot. That's what I said. Um what was it? Do you remember? I don't. Cats bringing home groceries, and all the soldiers are there, and this is where we get the rapey moves. Ooh, the whole family goes hands on this guy. Yes. I'm like, yeah. Oh man.

SPEAKER_03 36:38

Except for the kid who was sent away to get Rosemary.

SPEAKER_06 36:41

Right. She didn't need to see this nonsense, apparently. And that's good.

SPEAKER_03 36:45

They fucked that guy up, which I'm happy about.

SPEAKER_06 36:48

Yeah. Well, I thought they was she was sending her away because, you know, we saw the bedroom in the background. And so I thought what was gonna happen is that the mom knew the soldier was gonna rape her and there was nothing they could do about it, and she didn't want her daughter to see that. However, turns out why she sent her away was that things was gonna get handsy and um some shit was gonna go down, and she didn't want her daughter to get involved, which is yeah, better, actually. I think and I think it both are equally good things to do. Go to Hugh, and he's like, Hey, um, can I go back to Tumbleton instead of Alf? Is that what he asks?

SPEAKER_03 37:26

Yeah, Alf is supposed to go monitor Tumbleton, and Renero suggests that they both go and trade off. Yeah, go and work together. At this point We kind of switched, we switched to a different uh Dragon Rider. They're actually called Dragon Seeds, they're called. I don't know how I found that out, but anyway. Um it's Ulf.

SPEAKER_06 37:51

The three of us The three guys who ride are Adam, Ulf, and Hugh, aren't they?

SPEAKER_03 37:58

Yes, and they're called Dragon Seeds.

SPEAKER_06 38:00

Oh, dear.

SPEAKER_03 38:01

Because they're not pureborn Targaryens. Okay, they're all bastards. We switch from Hugh to Ulf, and then Ulf notices some graffiti that says Queen of Bastards, and then he's like, Well, let's go get drunk.

SPEAKER_06 38:15

Yeah, lots of dirty men hugging each other.

SPEAKER_03 38:17

It's like Yes, this is the average fantasy football draft just happened right there.

SPEAKER_06 38:23

Well, they may never have arrived. Going down pool.

SPEAKER_06 38:42

Oh no. You see them all day long. You see them all day long. You watch them all day long, you see the same people over and over all day long.

SPEAKER_03 38:48

Oh, you mean it's a at the end the actual Renfare that I'm I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_06 38:53

The actual Renfare. Yes. I've never I've never been the the fighting family, the footleys, have come before Ormond.

SPEAKER_03 39:04

Oh no, no. I beg I beg your pardon. It is not the Footleys. Lady Footley is there.

SPEAKER_06 39:09

SPEAKER_03 39:10

But it is the fighting family, the footleys, and the soldier in question. Garrick of White Grove. Yes, indeed, Garrick.

SPEAKER_06 39:21

Garrick of of Whitegrove.

SPEAKER_03 39:24

He lies immediately.

SPEAKER_06 39:27

SPEAKER_03 39:36

And and everyone is just like, that ain't what happened. You fucking liar. Look at my wife's got a broke my my sister's got a broken arm, my wife got gripped, I got beat about the face and head. And he tried to rape my daughter. He did the rapies. And um Orman goes, Alright, Garrick, bet your name. You're a bad, bad boy. So we're gonna cut off your bag. Yep. You're gonna break your arm.

SPEAKER_06 40:06

Gilded and break his arm. Man. So is gilded the Frank's end be the Frank and Beans, or is it just the beans?

SPEAKER_03 40:14

Just the beans.

SPEAKER_06 40:15

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 40:16

Just the beans.

SPEAKER_06 40:18

Snippy snippets.

SPEAKER_03 40:19

It's our next podcast.

SPEAKER_06 40:23

Bags and how to break them. He's schooling, apparently Orman thinks he's schooling Darren on being strong.

SPEAKER_03 40:31

Fair. Just strong.

SPEAKER_06 40:34

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 40:34

To keep tensions at bay.

SPEAKER_06 40:37

Cut to the priest and Rainey. Now talking about the faith and how they have influence or the with the high towers and vice verses.

SPEAKER_03 40:46

Yes, because the high towers c has spent the money to pay for the sept in Old Town.

SPEAKER_06 40:52

Right. So basically, they put up the money for the stadium, so the sept is gonna the faith are gonna play nice, nice. So uh stadium.

SPEAKER_03 41:01

I like that. I like how this the sept is.

SPEAKER_06 41:05

So it's like it's it's not fun anymore. It's not like the J, it's the you know, it's the the Jay Fritter home memorial coliseum. Now it's the JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley B Mobile Bank.

SPEAKER_03 41:20

It's Hightower Field at Old Town Stadium.

SPEAKER_06 41:24

Yes, that's exactly what it is.

SPEAKER_03 41:27

And you go in through the Miller Light gate.

SPEAKER_06 41:29

That's correct. You have to get your wristband.

SPEAKER_03 41:32

Every fucking stadium in the country's got a Miller Light gate. No, most of the game.

SPEAKER_06 41:36

How do you have to prove that you're do you have to be part of the Miller Light family? Do you have to have a special ticket from Miller Light to go in the middle?

SPEAKER_03 41:41

No, you just have to have bought a ticket in that area where the Miller Light gate makes the most sense to go in.

SPEAKER_06 41:46

That's so weird.

SPEAKER_03 41:47

I know.

SPEAKER_06 41:48

I sponsor just one gate. That's weird.

SPEAKER_03 41:50

Because a different beer company sponsored the other gate.

SPEAKER_06 41:54

Oh, oh no.

SPEAKER_03 41:56

So uh so I just had a realization here, and I I I don't mean to cut you off, but I I had a realization that I can't believe I haven't come up with in the entire time that we've been watching this show and Game of Thrones is that Maesters are mailmen who practice medicine.

SPEAKER_06 42:17

And I'm s why am I That is fucking weird to me.

SPEAKER_03 42:22

I can't believe I didn't realize that until tonight.

SPEAKER_06 42:25

They're mailmen who practice medicine.

unknown 42:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 42:29

Mailmen.

SPEAKER_03 42:30

Mailmen.

SPEAKER_06 42:31

Oh, they're not going to be able to do that. They write the letters. Yes, yes, yes. Oh my god. I thought you were saying you they are male men, and I'm like, mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 42:41

They're postal workers with a medical license. Is that better?

SPEAKER_06 42:46

Thank you.

SPEAKER_03 42:47

I didn't realize I would end up feeling like a jackass for saying the word mailman.

SPEAKER_05 42:55

Oh god, guys, it's been uh it's been a whole lot.

SPEAKER_03 42:59

It's really hot. It's really hot.

SPEAKER_06 43:00

It's very hot outside, and and it's warm in my little cubby here, right?

SPEAKER_03 43:04

I'm I'm sitting in the very corner of the living room and the backs of my knees are sweaty.

SPEAKER_06 43:09

I've got a little schvet going on in my brow up here.

SPEAKER_03 43:12

They schwitting a little bit, are you? Just a little bit. Nobody out of the door. It's 150,000 schmuckums outside. The priest is I'm gonna get a letter for that. The first scene.

SPEAKER_06 43:24

Oh no. Oh no, not if my Japanese stupid thing didn't cancel us already.

SPEAKER_03 43:35

I'm out of here. We move on. Seven more scenes to get through, Eileen. We could do it.

SPEAKER_06 43:39

I know. Okay, so the priest is like, you're doing fine. Don't fuck around with the face of the faith unless your plan is to get rid of them completely, basically.

SPEAKER_03 43:50

Yeah, and in particular the High Septon.

SPEAKER_06 43:53

Right. Uh cut two, and she's like, I'm gonna say no. That one. Uh Karax is outside, that means Damon's inside with Lady Erin. And we're looking at the moon, the moon window, whatever the fuck it was.

SPEAKER_03 44:07

Yeah, he's I seem to remember that in the f in the um the the the series we watched previously, the good one, the moon door didn't have a uh wall around it.

SPEAKER_06 44:19

It did, but it had and it had a didn't uh have that either, Mike. I think it was just it was floor level. Nope, it was it was a hole that you could that you could get dropped through. It did have a wall around it, but there was a fairly wide opening in the wall around it.

SPEAKER_03 44:38

So was this the same wall then? Yeah, yeah. Oh I don't remember there being a wide wall. I remember there just being a hole.

SPEAKER_02 44:45

I don't remember there being stairs either.

SPEAKER_05 44:48

There were no stairs.

SPEAKER_02 44:49

There were stairs in this one. There were two steps going up to the hole.

SPEAKER_06 44:55

I thought it was like at floor level, which would make it more precarious.

SPEAKER_02 44:58

Right, which is what it was in the other series. But the whole series it was stairs. Go back and look at the at the clip. We'll see it. I don't know if I can.

SPEAKER_03 45:16

I'll do that.

SPEAKER_06 45:17

That's cool. Yeah, that was a good series.

SPEAKER_03 45:19

I'll do that again. He's dead. I'm not.

SPEAKER_06 45:23

Yeah. She's like, I thought the war was over. Why does Rainey need men? And he's like, actually, we don't. I'm not gonna pay that hop. Money. Yes. And just so you know, uh, if you've got gold, I'm out of here. If we don't need to talk anymore, it's over. She's like, cool. Next scene, he's loading up the saddlebags on Karaxis.

SPEAKER_03 45:51

Who's having some issues? He's like swatting at her, like, hey now, fucking fly right.

SPEAKER_06 45:57

Looks like fun. He's that saddle looks comfy as fuck. That thing looks like the best motorcycle saddle you could possibly. I mean, it was uh man, I want an office chair like that.

SPEAKER_03 46:12

You want a dragon, and we all know it.

SPEAKER_04 46:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:21

So a lot of dragon noises here. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 46:25

He's got a mind of his own. He's not obeying Damon, he's just taking him to go see Sheep Stealer.

SPEAKER_03 46:32

Yeah, who's in a cave, and in front of the dragon is Raina, who looks sad, unwell.

SPEAKER_06 46:40

She is looking um fried.

SPEAKER_03 46:43

Oh, and she actually looks mad. She looks nuts.

SPEAKER_06 46:47

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 46:48

Which is probably fair to say. And Damon is like, oh shit, is she now wait, hold on. Is she his daughter? I guess so. Or or by whom?

SPEAKER_06 47:02

I don't know. Did we know this? Oh, it was a Corp. We must have. Was it Corla who was it? Who was it? Who was it?

SPEAKER_03 47:09

I don't know. That was a problem. I can't remember who she was who she was born by.

SPEAKER_02 47:15

She uh Damon's first wife that he killed in the veil that one day when he hit her with a rock after she said you can't get it up. That was somebody else, though. That was that was that was a win. Well, so his second wife was was uh a Valerian, apparently. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 47:36

Well that why did you give us the whole thing about the girl with the rock and not how many was that was his first one? Because that's what popped into my head first.

SPEAKER_03 47:45

I kind of like that. I I appreciate it.

SPEAKER_06 47:48

Well, you know what? Okay. She's uh Damon's like, look, come with me, leave the dragon behind. She's like, fuck that. She's like, I have a dragon man. Up till this point, Reign of the Unfortunate.

SPEAKER_03 48:06

Her name was Lana Valerian.

SPEAKER_06 48:09

Lena Valerian.

SPEAKER_03 48:10

Corliss's daughter.

SPEAKER_06 48:12

Okay, I knew it was something to do with Corless.

SPEAKER_03 48:14

And Damon's second wife. She wrote Vagar.

SPEAKER_06 48:18

Right, right, right. I remember now.

SPEAKER_03 48:20

I had to look it up because that was uh 150,000 years ago that we watched those shows.

SPEAKER_06 48:28

Yeah, remember?

SPEAKER_03 48:30

Oh so um So straight up kid and and uh she does guilt trip him for ignoring her.

SPEAKER_06 48:39

And did Sheep Stealer and Caraxis have this like two dogs on leashes thing going on?

SPEAKER_03 48:47

It's kind of like as they walk towards each other and they start flipping out and they're both like, whoa, here hey, calm down, air guys. Whoa, whoa, calm down, calm down.

SPEAKER_06 48:56

Hey, step back, step back. Put that dragon on a leash. What is wrong with you? Then Damon watches the watches sheaf stealer fly off. She wasn't on him, was she?

SPEAKER_03 49:08

I don't know where she went. She could still be in the cave either way, he's not going in there.

unknown 49:12

Right.

SPEAKER_03 49:13

And then he stands at the top of the hill looking down at a goat herd and kind of just grins a little bit.

SPEAKER_06 49:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:21

Ideas have occurred to David.

SPEAKER_06 49:23

And again, we have no idea what this means just yet.

SPEAKER_03 49:26

We'll find out.

SPEAKER_06 49:28

Ormond is uh doing his little snuffy snuffs, making his little potpourri crafty.

SPEAKER_03 49:34

And very, very precisely, scooping a little of this and a little of that into a tiny sensor that he can shake under his precious nose whenever he has his stinky poo.

SPEAKER_06 49:48

And turns out you've got mail from the high towers. Um he did not handle that well.

SPEAKER_03 49:55

Well, we should also mention that Darren at this point sticks up a little bit and tells the serving boy to get out.

SPEAKER_06 50:03

Yep, he's like, he well, as soon as he opens it and he's reading it, Darren reads the room. And he's like, uh, you better get the fuck out because things is about to go sideways, backwards, diagonal, upside down, flip it, reverse it. Yeah, if there is a drop it, nurse it, I don't know how that's all goes.

SPEAKER_03 50:25

Twist it, bop it, pull it. Any possible have you seen the videos of the woman on the internet doing doing the the the boppet thing? No, I think there's like four of them now, and she just does a boppet, but she goes after every move. And I watched about three seconds and it just went, nope. Next video. Because I don't care. I don't want to watch someone play with a toy from my childhood.

SPEAKER_05 50:54

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 50:55

I do that all the time. I don't need uh I don't need to watch a video of it.

SPEAKER_06 50:58

I will still play with the Bopet if one is in the room.

SPEAKER_03 51:00

I mean, yeah. I was awesome at Bopet. So ADHD folks are good at Bopet. Yes, we are. Orman decides that um his reaction to this letter should be to draw his sword and yelk hunt a lot and a heck at his table where he is preciously doing his precious potpourri.

SPEAKER_06 51:24

He has he's pulling a father bee. He's going Bioka.

SPEAKER_03 51:29

He did he he Bioka did better. Maybe it was just a shitty table.

SPEAKER_06 51:34

Well, Bioka, to be fair, had an axe.

SPEAKER_03 51:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 51:36

Did he not? Yes.

SPEAKER_03 51:37

And Darren had a long sword, and it was clearly a a well constructed table.

SPEAKER_06 51:43

So he didn't do a whole lot of damage, just a couple little nicks. Yeah, those will rub out. A little wax there and then rub it out.

SPEAKER_03 51:52

Put some putty in here and then sand it down, re re-gloss the entire table. Hey, Dad, these these are gonna be some ruts, they aren't gonna just come out. We're lucky we don't have to replace the edge of the whole thing. It's not one of them tables that's got a hidden drawer in the front, you know. Or like a poker table. You flip the whole anyway.

SPEAKER_06 52:11

All I have written here is they have to alter their scheme.

SPEAKER_03 52:15

Yes, because Amon isn't joining them at Tumbleton.

SPEAKER_06 52:19

Right. Well, they don't know where he is.

SPEAKER_03 52:22

Well, that's a letter from presumably that's a letter from Gwen. Yes.

SPEAKER_06 52:28

Yeah, saying he's not there.

SPEAKER_03 52:30

I don't know what he's altering it to.

SPEAKER_06 52:32

Yeah, he just says we have to alter all plans or something like that. I don't know. Priest and Rainey are talking, and Alf is like, excuse me, ma'am. He's such a booger. What was the sieve? Okay. Alpha's there. He wants a couple favors from guys he obviously owes favors to in the bar that he frequents.

SPEAKER_03 52:54

Yeah, he got power, and then they are like, Well, can you ask for help from the queen for this?

SPEAKER_06 52:59

Well, no, I'm guessing he owes them money or favors somehow. They bought him drinks or whatever. And she's like, hmm, none of this is for you. So, no. Oh, and by the way, your ass is mine, literally. So, no more taverns. You're on house arrest, uh, and he is gobsmacked. And at this point, he says, Oh, well, guess what? Is this just like to be like says he can't go to the bars anymore? Or is it that he knows she'll figure out that if he has this information, maybe him being in bars isn't so bad, right? Because he tells her they're protesting her in the city and they've put up graffiti that says queen of bastards. Just thought you should know.

SPEAKER_03 53:51

So, yeah, if she's smart, she'd be like, I can't say if it's if it's option one or two. Both of those are equally likely. I hadn't considered that he was trying to could convince her that being in the public would be a benefit. I don't know. Yeah, that's ear to the ground. Honestly.

SPEAKER_06 54:14

Honestly, I hadn't thought of that till just now. It's not in my notes. Just kidding.

SPEAKER_03 54:18

Listen to you, I'm not gonna do a dome with these brilliant ideas. That's a that's a really good call, though, because I I can't, I don't know. But again, my I have my doubts because he's kind of a short-sighted dimwit.

SPEAKER_06 54:33

I don't know. He's an opportunist, though.

SPEAKER_03 54:35

So that's very true.

SPEAKER_06 54:37

Anyway, she tells her guy, who what is his name again?

SPEAKER_03 54:41

This is the well, he she asks uh this guy to tell Sir Luther, who's the head of the grow the Gold Cloaks, to go deal with the graffiti and make associated artists.

SPEAKER_06 54:53

Banksy would be even less than Aegon is hauling buckets of p uh, we can assume Paul uh uh Paul?

SPEAKER_03 55:02

Who's Paul? I don't know shit.

SPEAKER_06 55:07

Uh piss and shit.

SPEAKER_03 55:09

Piss and shit. He's not having fun.

SPEAKER_06 55:12

He is not, and Laris is like, look, Rainey did you a favor by declaring you dead, and he's like, What? Excuse me? Yeah, I'm what now? And he's like, How? Oh, apparently Eamon killed you. And he's like, What the fuck? No, no, and Laris is like, look, look, look, look, look. And this is the ear to the ground thing. He's like, I'm getting some good gossip in this camp. Your comeback album is gonna be epic. Be lit. So just hang in there.

SPEAKER_03 55:40

Well, then he blows it in two seconds. I mean, seriously, two seconds later, Agon's like, Where's my food? I'm gonna slap somebody.

SPEAKER_06 55:48

Because he doesn't know how to be a human in the real world. And so when there's no food, he's just like, Give me food, you you know, he just starts talking to him like a king would talk to uh dumbass. And uh the guy's like, Yeah, no. I may gut you. He says to him, Get on your knees, and I thought, okay, Aegon's gonna pull a knife out of his boot and stabby stab him. Well, that didn't happen.

SPEAKER_03 56:17

That's not what I thought was gonna happen.

SPEAKER_06 56:19

And then he says, Kiss my feet and call me Lord. And again, I just kept waiting for Aegon to just like pull something.

SPEAKER_03 56:31

Do you remember when Aegon had that dagger that he kept playing with? Yes. Where is it?

SPEAKER_06 56:36

I don't know. See, that's what I'm saying. So anyway, I it might still come to pass. We haven't seen because the last scene we saw of these two was him putting his lips to the shitladen shoes.

SPEAKER_03 56:48

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 56:49

So And it was gross. It was gross.

SPEAKER_03 56:54

It was worse than the butt.

SPEAKER_06 56:55

We see Damon busting in.

SPEAKER_05 56:57

The butt wasn't bad.

SPEAKER_03 56:58

No, it was a fine butt. I mean, not a not a fine butt, but a butt that was fine.

SPEAKER_06 57:04

It was an okay butt. It wasn't overly muscular.

SPEAKER_03 57:07

It was five out of ten for a butt.

SPEAKER_06 57:09

I would give it a six, honestly.

SPEAKER_03 57:12

All right, that's fair. You know what? You can rate that butt. Rate that butt.com. I'm sure it already exists. I'm not gonna check.

SPEAKER_06 57:21

Damon busts in on small campball on small council, throws a charred head on the table, and I went, oh, that poor sheep farmer.

SPEAKER_03 57:31

I'm glad that you got it right away.

SPEAKER_06 57:35

Whose space is that? Yes, that's definitely the goat herd. That's sheep stealers rider. And uh, and then he's like, and who is this? She's like, Oh, this is uh Tim Curry, he's our new master of a coin. And they're arguing uh about what to use the money for, and then Rainey tells them to clear the room, but Damon stays. I don't know, if you're the queen, you say clear the room. I'm thinking everybody goes, but Missy left. She's like, Who is this? Whose charred head is this? And he's like, No, don't worry about that. It doesn't matter. No, I'm not I that's not a head of somebody you don't know. Don't worry about it. I haven't seen a head.

SPEAKER_03 58:24

That a dragon is an imprecise instrument.

SPEAKER_06 58:27

Yes, and uh he's like, then the dragon rode away. And she's like, but I wanted to know who killed. By the way, I'm using that gold to feed the villagers. So the watch are loyal, they'll hang around, they'll wait to get paid, but people need to eat. And thanks. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 58:45

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 58:47

That's that.

SPEAKER_03 58:48

Yeah. That's the resolution to that.

SPEAKER_06 58:51

Yep. Damon and Missy, and she's like, hey, by the way, whose head is that? So she knows. She's figured it out.

SPEAKER_03 58:58

But yeah. Because she's probably heard. No one's seen Raina in forever.

SPEAKER_06 59:04

Well, do you think Missy thinks the head belongs to Raina, or does she think it's somebody else?

SPEAKER_03 59:11

She thinks it's somebody else. And not necessarily the dragon rider in question.

SPEAKER_06 59:17

Okay. We cut to Alicent madly reading a book.

SPEAKER_03 59:23

In her jammies.

SPEAKER_06 59:24

And Helen is getting into her jammies in the background, and Rainey comes in with her guy. What's his name?

unknown 59:31

Guy.

SPEAKER_06 59:31

Luther?

SPEAKER_03 59:32

Uh no, I don't remember. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 59:35

Dude, big dude, beard dude. She's like, hey, I sent I sent your dad's remains to Old Town, and uh here's his ring. Yeah. Here's here's his ring, and then she leaves.

SPEAKER_03 59:45

It was just weird, it was just awkward. It's very quick. I expected someone to go, oh, and or by the way, and that never happened.

SPEAKER_06 59:53

Helena comes over, Ali starts helping her get her night robe on, and her boobs are bigger. Yeah. Don't you know it? She's pregante.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:05

She's pregnant, and the internet lost its fucking mind over this. So because this ends up being a plot device, and we got it through silent dialogue. There's no dialogue in it at all.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:18

They're like, how come it don't fit on your bubes? And then she just looks at her.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:22

Closing down the rent fair early. You gotta stay home or hang, they say. That's what they say at the end of the rent fair. Go home, stay home, stay home or hang. That's what they say. And then they have to hang all the people who loiter.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:35

Uh nuts. It's semisonic did not put that in their song for a reason.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:41

Yeah. So it's Hugh on his dragon. They're telling the townsfolk to scrub the walls. This is not the way to handle graffiti. It's too much. It is really too much.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:50

I mean, beating people with the point ed sticks. I mean, I can get the scrub down, but you have a talk first, and then you beat someone's face in.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:58

Next scene was weird.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:00

What happened here?

SPEAKER_06 1:01:01

Darren and his dragon are kind of cuddling. It's kind of cute. And Orman comes in and is like, Molly coddling, that dragon, you got him, rah-brah, rah, rah, rah. I'm like, it's nice. You want the dragon to be cuddly with his rider, don't you?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:17

You don't want a sheep stealer situation. We find out that that Ormond has differing attitudes about dragons and Targaryens in this scene.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:26

Anytime Orman tries to touch Darren, Tessarian does that little dragon's like fuck off. But basically, the plan is, hey, you know what? You have all the things that you need to be king. So we're gonna take you to King's Landing and you're gonna be king. And he's like, mmm, pass.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:51

And Orbus says, No. Oh, hey, this is what we're gonna do, and brings in, is this Mr. Footley?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:00

No, this is this is Hugh's brother-in-law.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:03

Hugh's brother-in-law, okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:05

He says this man put his hand on the on the king on a uh on a soldier, which is like putting his hand on the king, and I'm going, no, it ain't, but okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:14

It's not like that at all.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:15

That's not how it works.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:17

I was really, really hoping that this kid was going to use the sword, turn around, and kill Ormond. That's but I guess he figured he was a yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:27

Interesting.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:28

But he kills the guy by he he pretty quick, he does really well. I mean, he stabbed him in the heart and it goes really fast. And uh what what more could you want? It was not a hack in between the shoulder blades with the blunt broadsword before you finally get it.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:44

Yeah, was it two swings at the neck or anything?

SPEAKER_06 1:02:47

Oh it wasn't a blood eagle. Do you know what a blood eagle is?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:54

Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:56

I know it's gruesome. Don't look it up. Go ahead and look it up. If you're morbid. If you've got morbid curiosity, look it up. It was kind of it wasn't used very often. Uh I have to move on here, which is good because he's looking over the table like, hmm, are you gonna eat that? Can I have it? Can I have it? I'm just gonna toast it up a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:18

And what did what did Orman say at the end? Did he say, and and so we start? Is that how we put it? I don't remember what I think. So it starts, he did he didn't say it the way you'd expect.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:29

And so we begin. And they're off I wish. And if you get that, thank you. Once upon a time, I wish.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:42

I don't know what you're saying.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:43

That is Into the Woods, which was the first community play I ever did. And I played Florinda, the wicked stepsister, and got to slap Cinderella. It was a it was a highlight. Well, that's it, Mike.
