Okay. Okay, I'll do it on air. Alright, we're good.
SPEAKER_05That was nothing. I was like, what is he? Just some big announcement or something?
SPEAKER_07He's gonna flush.
SPEAKER_05Oh, yeah, right. It would be odd to log in from the toilet. I mean, you'd all the move, all the equipment and things.
SPEAKER_08No, but do you know what I do have that might come in handy tonight? And I just realized uh I have sitting here.
SPEAKER_07One of the podcasts I used to listen to uh was called The Greatest Generation, and it was all about Star Trek, right? And they got sorry, I had a moment. Much like what we do, they watched an episode and then they would talk about it and make fun of it and running jokes again. Well, they got picked up by a major podcaster, which then gave them major funding for things.
SPEAKER_05Didn't they get picked up by Max Fund?
SPEAKER_07They did. They just left Max Fund.
SPEAKER_05That's a pretty good show.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, they just left Max Fund. I saw I saw uh an email came through asking for money saying we've ended our partnership with Max Fond and we're independent. Uh but I guess they made their millions and broke away. But one of the things we didn't think we did, yes, that's right.
SPEAKER_05It's like we want to. Hey, Max Fun, come at us. That's right. We got your replacement for you. We've got a podcast.
SPEAKER_07I can think of a couple shows for us to cover. Yeah, but anyway, but uh one of the things they did was they after each episode they had a wheel that they spun, and it had things that they had to do for the next episode. And then one of the ones was the next episode they both had to record from their bathtub while taking a bath. So one of the hosts, his microphone fell into the bathroom. Yes! Oh, that's 60 bucks ago. And his microphone fell down the microphone into the And that's why they had to leave Max Fun.
SPEAKER_05Because when that man died on the air, nothing was maximally fun anymore.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, you pick a weird male. He didn't he didn't he didn't die, he dropped a little setting up. Uh he had to go fight like. Anywho, that story's done. Like you said, like I lead to. Hey, you have a slot, you have a blood.
SPEAKER_05Hey Jesse Thorne, I've seen you and Don Huntman live. It was fun. Okay, and that is it. Hello, and welcome to the Royal Highness Podcast, where we watch George Martin shows for the first time while enhanced with cannabis products. And then we talk about them while we're still enhanced with cannabis products. And we have just finished watching season three of House of the Dragon. Hi, Spencer.
SPEAKER_08Hello, Eileen.
SPEAKER_05I'm gonna have to take that away from you. Yeah or I'm gonna have to text Shell to take that away from you.
SPEAKER_08No, I've closed the app, it's gone. Don't talk to my wife. She's stressing.
SPEAKER_05Hi, Mike.
SPEAKER_08Hi, Eileen. Hi, Mike.
SPEAKER_07Hi, Storm.
SPEAKER_05Mark.
SPEAKER_07Storm Thunderballs with the weather.
SPEAKER_05I almost said Mark. I don't know why I almost called you Mark. Mike. Mike is part of the a big part of the podcast tonight because we are in fact doing our our recap. Um, and he has in fact put together the game for us. So I have also put together a short, like, I don't know, interim kind of a thing. Uh or stem. It's just dumb. And so I thought it would be fun to do. Okay. Why not? All right.
SPEAKER_07The air is our canvas.
SPEAKER_05Woo! I'm an idiot. Okay.
SPEAKER_08I wanted to rejoin her to the air is our canvas. It would have been ended.
SPEAKER_05That sounds like something AI would say.
SPEAKER_08And the bacon is crispy.
SPEAKER_05I had a very good time the other day. I asked our friend Chatty G a question, and the answers it came back with were bad shit crazy. And I'm like, I'm like, I can't ever state these anywhere because if the government's ever looking for me, all they gotta do is trace it back to that phrase that somebody asks Chatty G and they'll go, that's her. So uh shoot. Are you are you okay? Sorry. See, all that just much like you, listener, all that just listening to that things happened in my brain, in my head, in my head space, imagination, but we can't see it because Spencer does not have a camera.
SPEAKER_08Right. I'm I I will I'll see what I can do.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_08Well, I mean just give me two seconds. Glad we did that. My mouse is not charging anymore, so okay. I hope I don't forget.
SPEAKER_05Mike has put together uh some sort of a GOM game for us. A GOM? GOM.
SPEAKER_08He says he has a GOM for us to enjoy.
SPEAKER_05Yes, a game for us folk to play. So with that said, take it away, Michael.
SPEAKER_07Oh, you want to do the game first? Okay.
SPEAKER_05Well, I don't know. What did you want to do instead? A recap?
SPEAKER_07Uh I thought you would do the recap and maybe tell us what your favorite storylines or scenes were, and what your least favorite storylines or scenes were, and maybe um a recap of who all died.
SPEAKER_05Oh my god. See, that would have included preparing.
SPEAKER_07Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_05Well then off the cuff, off the cuff, uh what was your what was your least favorite storyline or scene with in this um my least favorite storyline was the Laris Aegon tromping through the woods around apparently in a perimeter around their little wagon.
SPEAKER_08I don't know what that was about. I enjoyed that infinitely more than Eamon doing sword chi in Heronhall.
SPEAKER_05Oh, that's true.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, and then the little hoodwink where he ins incidentally, not like on purpose, but accidentally sort of kind of maybe tried to mate with his mother. That whole thing was really nasty and I hated every second of it. Yeah, but you could give me Aegon and Laris wandering around, I'll watch that a million times before I spend more time with Amon.
SPEAKER_05I also did not care for the Raina storyline, the sheep stealer thing.
SPEAKER_07No, the sheep stealer storyline, yeah.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, and her kind of over the edge. She felt too young to have that much, you know.
SPEAKER_08I didn't care for that either. Yeah. This actually, I hate to say this. There wasn't much about season three that I really enjoyed.
SPEAKER_05Um, okay, here's what I will say.
SPEAKER_07I mean comparatively, comparatively. Comparatively, yeah. I mean, it's it was very um thematic, I guess you would say. And expository. Expository, yes, very much expository. Which is which is clearly they're setting us up for season four, which is the ultimate ultimate. There's like if I remember the storyline correctly, there's like four or five major battles because that's this that's the this this whole thing is setting up the battle of succession, which Aegon wins. No spoilers, but that's out there. That's in the book. It's in the book, yeah. So um, and he erases from history several of the main characters as part of his decree at the end.
SPEAKER_08He pulls a Stalin and unpeoples somebody.
SPEAKER_03So somebody's gotta go back through every scroll and redact it.
SPEAKER_08Ah, there's a note here who's attached to a raven. It says, Her Majesty blankety blank.
SPEAKER_07Who could that have been? Oh gosh, does that mean all of the raven notes that the Maesters have kept track of? And um they have to go fix all those? Yeah, gotta redact them.
SPEAKER_08I wonder if that's what Trump does and just tears everything into little pieces.
SPEAKER_05And then stuffs them in his mouth.
SPEAKER_07I can't wait to eat this note. So that's I think his staff would like him to eat the notes that way they don't have to fish it out of the garbage and tape it back together again.
SPEAKER_05Jesus. Okay.
SPEAKER_07Anyway.
SPEAKER_05Anyway, okay.
SPEAKER_07So um So what was your favorite storylines then and your favorite scenes?
SPEAKER_05Just for the the drama of it, which she's walking up the steps to the iron throne. Oh just the pathos, just the the exaggerated how every step was painful and sweaty and and just crampy, you know.
SPEAKER_07Crampy is right.
SPEAKER_08I think my favorite storyline this season might have been uh actually I I I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm going team green all the way. I really like Sunfire coming back and cooking those guys. That was really cool. That was fun to watch.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, that was very fun to watch.
SPEAKER_08I'm kind of starting to like Aegon, even though he's a terrible person.
SPEAKER_05Well, they are all terrible. That's the thing. They're all to the thing, yeah. You know, to be honest, the only pure soul in any of this is Helena, and she's clearly got issues.
SPEAKER_08Uh that's a that's a mild statement.
SPEAKER_05Even before the final scene, yeah, right? She has the race chickens. She just wants to hang out in the garden with caterpillars. What are you gonna do?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so yeah, everyone sucks.
SPEAKER_07But I think you know, at first I was I was believing that I was supposed to be rooting for Rainera and and the blacks. But now I really think I'm I'm on the high tower side. I really think I am.
SPEAKER_05I'm not the only one then I think but even the Ormond Hightower part of it.
SPEAKER_07No, but the Aegon Aegon storyline and and you know the the Aegon that that whole family. I think Allison and Salison and her children. I think I'm on I'm on their side. I mean, there's the high tower side, but with the exception of Amund.
SPEAKER_05Not to ruin anything, but I think doesn't Darren end up on the throne for a while? No, I thought I read that.
SPEAKER_07Nope. Nope. He never winds up on the throne. There is a Darren Targaryen that takes the throne later on, um several generations later, but it's Darren II.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_07It's not Darren the second.
SPEAKER_05Hang on, I gotta do something.
SPEAKER_07Okay. She's got to do something.
SPEAKER_05I opened my soda.
SPEAKER_07And then she did it.
SPEAKER_08You just do it like I do it. Right out right out there for everybody to see.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, for everybody to hear.
SPEAKER_07Okay, so um let me let me call up the game here and share my is it a Jeopardy style?
SPEAKER_05I love Jeopardy style.
SPEAKER_07Or is it uh sorta kinda, uh but but not again, fascinating audio. Yes, all to be edited out. Play the fascinating audio song.
SPEAKER_04Fascinating audio. Fascinating why am I saying fascinating Oreos?
SPEAKER_08Speaking of Oreos, I gotta tell you, I did a thing. And it's not I'm not impressed by it, but I did something. I bought uh I I was at that that big blue shop on the edge of town.
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_08And they had a packet of their Oreo brand, they're not non-Oreo brand Oreo cookies. Twist and shouts or whatever the fuck they are. Yeah, and uh, and they were apple pie flavor. Mmm. Can I give you a star rating? Sure. Four stars out of 150. Okay.
SPEAKER_05I was gonna say, I've tried a few of the alternative flavors, call them, if you will. Um and very few of them have made the cut to being something that I get on a reg.
SPEAKER_08I opened the pack, I smelled that fake candy apple horrible flavor. I went, this is gonna be terrible. I ate one. I said, this is diabolical. I threw one each at the two kids that were in the room. I said, either you like these. They both went, yeah. And I went, they're yours. Fuck them. I just relinquished an entire bag of twist and shout.
SPEAKER_05This is so the generic had the apple flavor.
SPEAKER_08Well that yes. I think that there is a there is an Oreo flavor like that. But I just happened to be cheap. But I can imagine it would be good. It was not good at all.
SPEAKER_05Was it chocolate?
SPEAKER_08No, no, they were the they were the the blonde cookie.
SPEAKER_05Okay, I do like a golden Oreo cookie.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you but with that apple piezat's apple pie horseshit squirty mess in the middle. Fuck that noise. I'm out.

SPEAKER_05Is she the lady that was so excited to get Heron Hall?
SPEAKER_07No.
SPEAKER_05Oh.
SPEAKER_07No. And you're both going to argue with me on this, and I did massive research on this, but she plays. Masaris. Wait, what? She plays Raina Targaryen. I think you might have the wrong image, Mike. I do not. I do not. I looked it up eight ways from Sunday.
SPEAKER_05Does she have that thing where she the No, that lady is way older.
SPEAKER_07No, she's not. That is who plays. That is that is who she is. Okay, well, whatever. I know, I know. I I mean I spent almost an hour saying that can't be the same actress.
SPEAKER_05No, it's not Michael. Because they would not put her in black face. I'm telling you.
SPEAKER_04They would not put that woman in black face.
SPEAKER_05We are going to have to cut all this if this turns out to be problematic. However, there's no way those two people. Okay, wait, back it up. Can you back it up, one? Can you can you back it up?
SPEAKER_07Huh. Telling you. It's the same person. No, it's not. It can't possibly be. Okay, well, you two can. Do some more research and I knew I knew putting this in there that this was going to cause issues.
SPEAKER_04So they did not put that elderly woman in blackface. And give her a filter to make her look 15. No.
SPEAKER_08Oh, you see, the problem is there's more than one person called Phoebe Campbell. Oh, okay. And the actress who plays uh Raina is 27 years old. So is this Phoebe Campbell?
SPEAKER_06It's some old lady. That was on the IMTB page for House of the Dragon. Oh my god, they just mattered so bad.
SPEAKER_04Created by AI. I've seen this name associated with somebody who looks kind of like this one says AI. It's clearly it's the same person.
SPEAKER_08I am shocked. Okay, because all right, so I just did a you have to leave off. Okay, the Phoebe Campbell you have is also British, but has never been in anything.
SPEAKER_07Okay. I don't know why they had her on uh IMTB page.
SPEAKER_04Because some Gen Zer, or even Gen Alpha Kid, was in charge of uploading the photos to him. Everybody's old 27 is fucking.
SPEAKER_07So okay, so so listener, listeners, listeners, listeners, in order to see all this, watch our YouTube feed of this and you will see the pictures that we're talking about, and we'll kind of go from there. So um Spencer, it's your turn, is it? It is.

SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_08I don't know what.
SPEAKER_05Seriously, put some time into it.
SPEAKER_08This is not your fault. Somebody posted her image incorrectly, please never having watched the show. And went, that looks like someone called Raina.
SPEAKER_07However, Mike's like, I researched this.
SPEAKER_06I did.

SPEAKER_05Uh nothing I could possibly do could top that, honestly. Okay. Well, that's all I had. Yeah. What about you two? Well, I was gonna do a kill Mary Fuck. Oh yeah. But I don't know. You can cut it out if it's it's terrible.
SPEAKER_08So this could lead to some conversation. I don't see this being a problem.
SPEAKER_05So I'm giving I'm gonna give you groups of three. Alright, so the first one is Laris, Aegon, and Ormond.
SPEAKER_08I'm writing this down so I remember. Laris? Laris, Aegon, and Ormond. Ormond. Oh god.
SPEAKER_07Oh, marry Aegon, because then I get to be the first mister. Yeah, I get to be the queen. Uh gotta kill Ormond and I guess it's what's up, huh?
SPEAKER_05Well, really, all you gotta do is take your shoes off. There you go. There you go.
SPEAKER_08Please put your feet on the cushion, you'll raise.
SPEAKER_05Do you agree? Or do you have a display? I disagree. Oh. Okay.
SPEAKER_08I think, well, I agree with Ormond gone. I couldn't you couldn't marry Ormond because he would constantly bitch about the smell of things. And he's so smug and I hate him. Um I think you go with Mary Laris because he's a toady and you you fuck Aegon.
SPEAKER_05He's a Toadie.
SPEAKER_08And you told me not to use the air horn.

SPEAKER_01Laris would just be feathers between your toes.
SPEAKER_08I like that's the one thing we key in. Not the not the scheming. It's his foot fetish, which I mean I don't understand, but whatever.
SPEAKER_07Or his eye rolling, or his sighing at the king. Uh I mean, all of that stuff. And just telling him everything like it is. You're a terrible person. You're a terrible man. And a terrible.
SPEAKER_05The weathering looks of disappointment he gave. Yeah.
SPEAKER_07He's actually probably one of the better characters. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
unknownYeah.

SPEAKER_07Wonder what his story's gonna be.
SPEAKER_05I agree with I agree with Storm Thunderballs over there.
SPEAKER_07Storm Thunderballs with the weather.
SPEAKER_05The third, uh, the third trio. Damon, Amon, and Ormond. Again.
SPEAKER_01Oh, we gotta Fucking Christ. Uh say that was Damon. Amon.

SPEAKER_08Mike, you wanna go first or should I?
SPEAKER_07I'll I'll I'll do the fucking to Damon because Matt Smith. Yeah. Okay. Um Marry. Yeah, you can't marry Orman, so I gotta marry Eamon.
SPEAKER_04Chicken wing.
SPEAKER_07Chicken wing. Chicken wing. At least I'm older, so I'll I'll tick that box. Um and then of course that leaves Ormond to be killed again. Again.
SPEAKER_05He's the worst. He's the absolute worst. I was gonna make him the third on every trio, and then I thought, nah, that's the good one.
SPEAKER_08And then on the final round is syphilis, dysentery, Ormond. Well, kill Ormond. I think you fuck syphilis because you got it anyway. Uh dysentery is your spouse.
SPEAKER_05All right.
SPEAKER_08So uh I agree with Mike.
SPEAKER_05Okay. That's the three of us then. I I also agree. Oh no, wait, you know what? No, I disagree. I would rather marry Damon because Matt Smith round now for a lot longer. Plus, he's pretty loyal to whoever he's married to.
SPEAKER_08I'd unless it's that woman from the first episode that he murders in the veil.
SPEAKER_07Well, shh with a rock.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, he dropped the rock on her fucking head.
SPEAKER_07I forgot about that. And then his second wife got burned up by the dragon because she was sick or something.
SPEAKER_05Again, still better than Alzheimer's. Ah, true. All right. Um, and of course we kill Ormond.
SPEAKER_08Um, but I mean Because that is our method.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, and and but um a fucking aim. I mean, that's one and done, I'm guessing. Or he just into cuddling older women, so there you go. Yeah, you get there and it's I can do that.
SPEAKER_08It's just just a snuggle, please. Just Heron Hall is cold. I never seem to have any shoes.

SPEAKER_08I haven't worn a shirt, but that one time.
SPEAKER_05How am I supposed to do sword chi in a shirt? Are you crazy?
SPEAKER_06That has to be a loose shirt.
SPEAKER_05Okay, so the next trio is Rhenira, Mizaria, and Alicent. Oh, well, this is fun. Mike. Um, this is a game.
SPEAKER_07I know, so I would marry Alicent because she's a strong woman and she can do what she needs to do.
SPEAKER_05Um no, she does things and then she gets caught like over and over the fog. She's dressed and saving.
SPEAKER_07Well, if she didn't have to, if she wasn't looking out for somebody else, she would have been long gone. That's true. I mean if she had functioned on her own and just said, fuck you, kids, you're on your own. I raised you this. I got you this far, you're on your own from here. She could have been fine. She could have gotten away and all sorts of stuff. But um, so so we'll marry her. Uh we're gonna we're gonna kill Renee Reneira.
SPEAKER_05Okay. Uh now that's that's an interest okay. This is a whole that's a whole different okay, go, go, go. And of course, that leaves um fucking of um uh having having delightful uh consensual intercourse with Bazaria.

SPEAKER_08Uh I have to Okay. Now, here's the thing. Y'all know that the actress who played young Rhenira was Supergirl, right? Sure. Okay. Right? In the in the most recent adaptation. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. She's like legitimately hot. So I'm gonna say Mary Allison, fuck Rhaenyra, but young version, but old enough. And uh launch Maseria into the sun.
SPEAKER_07Ah that's my that's my uh see the nice thing about having oh, never mind. What? I just realized there is a line.
SPEAKER_05Hey, there's a line, hey, there's a line that Mike won't cross. No, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_07I just realized that you you you said Masaria, and I was thinking Alice.
SPEAKER_05Oh, you were thinking of the witch, yeah.
SPEAKER_07Not the white worm. So marrying the white the the witch is okay too, because you know, she's bound to that area. She was space for the people. She's so she she stays she has to stay there on that property, just like in the show Ghosts. They she can't leave the property. She said that uh did she?
SPEAKER_05I don't remember that. I believe you though.
SPEAKER_07She says I'm I'm I'm bound to the confines of the property.
SPEAKER_05And then but then she's immortal. So if she tries to leave, does she like turn to dust?
SPEAKER_07I don't know, or does she just get zapped back in like on the show ghosts?
SPEAKER_05I don't know because it's like something that producers of ghosts can be.
SPEAKER_08She doesn't seem to have a necklace that keeps her young that she takes off every time she bathes. Whoops.
SPEAKER_05Correct. Yes. Correct. Remember that show? Yeah, she also doesn't seem to be built like the Lorax, as that older lady was. An elderly Lorax.
