I was so scared that this wouldn't be phenomenal.

82.924 - 83.405 Chris Ryan

Were you really?

0

83.465 - 88.932 Joanna Robinson

I was. Because the books are phenomenal and I was just like, they have to do it right. And I think they really, really did it.

89.112 - 97.905 Chris Ryan

We are going to talk about the books, which I have not read. I'm shocked. So you might have a question or two for us. Ma'am. Mal, everything you hoped for?

97.965 - 99.468 Mallory Rubin

And more, honestly.

Chapter 7: What did the hosts think about Egg's performance in the episode?

99.508 - 118.582 Mallory Rubin

I think they have nailed the tone, the sensibility, like that specific essence, not only of these novellas that we adore and maybe can compel you to read over the next six weeks, we'll see, but also have given us that feeling of like being back in a world that we love and being glad to be back in a world that we love. And I, for one, I'm grateful and grateful to be here with you both.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts perceive the character Lyonel Baratheon?

118.602 - 129.942 Mallory Rubin

I've dreamed of you. Are you going to follow that up with stay away from me? I'm going to slump over in a pool of wine and then march off some steps in a very notable fashion.

129.962 - 152.515 Chris Ryan

Just leave a little bit of change for me. I'm going to do a quick recap of this episode, but obviously you two are free to interject wherever you want. So episode one, the Hedge Knight, we meet Sir Dunk, soon to be known as Sir Duncan the Tall, as he buries his old boss, Sir Arlen, and contemplates his own future as a newly minted knight of the realm.

152.535 - 157.663 Mallory Rubin

Do you want live fact checking on how you have spelled character names or should we just hit you up on the side after the podcast?

0

157.643 - 161.97 Chris Ryan

Do you remember before we started? Do you remember before we started?

0

162.05 - 165.015 Mallory Rubin

And Mallory's like, we will interject with compliments.

165.035 - 167.159 Joanna Robinson

And I was like, no, I don't think that's what's going to happen.

167.179 - 169.964 Mallory Rubin

Mostly about how charming and witty you are, you know? But also that the names are spelled wrong.

169.984 - 176.875 Chris Ryan

I think Mallory's dying to correct you on things. Well, look, here's the problem with this show is that you can't really Google a tongue because it'll just be like, and then he died.

176.895 - 181.643 Mallory Rubin

Don't Google anything. Do not Google a thing. Stay out of the wikis. Stay off the internet.
