No, no, no, no. Which is insane, by the way. No, no, no. That's crazy dick right there. Wait, wait, wait. They beat up on us?
I mean, somebody just tweeted me. We got a tweet that was like, yo, y'all got to chill on Steve.
I'm not even mad about this.
He gave us the KKK. What do you mean?
Chill on Steve. Honestly, they should not have chilled on me. They should not have chilled on me last episode. Steve did nothing, by the way, except for the fries. The fries were nuts. I'm sorry.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of diversity in casting for 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'?
If they're biracial, not just light-skinned. Not just light-skinned. Got to be biracial. They got to be biracial. They got to be biracial. They got to be biracial because I'm starting to wonder... I'm starting to wonder if the regular sisters, excuse me, regular sisters.
We can't do it. We can't do it. This is what I'm saying.
I apologize. I'm not saying that. That's what you said, though. I'm starting to wonder if there are roles for young actresses In Hollywood that are not biracial, I'm starting to wonder.
Darker skin?
Darker skin. If there are roles, if it is okay, y'all can get mad if y'all fucking want. I'm looking at all of these movies, and I'm seeing these shows. So are you saying that the small agenda is? No, I'm not tripping, but I'm just saying. It seems like you are a little. I'm not tripping. but I would like to see Coco Jones and Westeros.
Does there need to be a... I would like to see Marseille Martin and Westeros as well. I would like to see... Chloe Bailey? I would like to see Chloe... I would like to see just... When we're talking about diversity, how about some diversity in terms of that? And the only reason why I'm saying it is because I wrote about it this past... It's starting to become a thing.
I'm starting to notice it a lot.
This has been a thing.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts perceive the relationship between George R.R. Martin and HBO?
It's been a thing for a long time. So we want to talk about it. It's not a diss. It's an observation. I want everybody to work. But when I say everybody, I mean fucking everybody. You can't just rely on Ryan Coogler to put everybody in the fucking. I want everybody.
When I say everyone, I want everyone. Can I say this, too? We got a situation where, you know, you got Tiana. at one battle after another, and motherfuckers on Twitter have been litigating that shit since it came out. So there is a level where I'm like... I wrote about it. I wrote about it. I'm just saying.
I understand that. I'm not saying that that means that you're going to agree with every performance or every role. She was great in that. But I'm not saying that you're going to agree with every performance or every role. What I'm saying is this.
Chapter 7: What are the challenges faced by showrunners in adapting George R.R. Martin's work?
If we don't have conversations... about trends in Hollywood casting, storytelling, and all of that stuff, Before you know it, the same thing will happen over and over and over again.
So is this an evolution of their only casting, our UK brothers?
As African-Americans.
Now you need a British. Okay, so once again, it's not about being divisive. It's really not. It's about saying that in two years, we got Fred Hampton, Malcolm
we got everybody right right and there wasn't a black Harriet Tubman all of it it was just like huh because they say the UK brothers are a little bit more professional they're a little bit more put together they have a different pedigree they be acting their asses off how's that sound I'm not saying I've talked to black look even if that's the answer see here's the thing what I don't understand
This is my fault. Legitimately, you should have taken responsibility. You shouldn't have brought it up. I don't understand. What if the answer to the question is not an answer that normally would suit me? We had one of the Hughes brothers on Higher Learning. he's doing a Snoop Dogg movie. Asked him, who's going to play Snoop Dogg in the movie? He said, some British guy, right?
Probably some British guy. And then I had to push back a little bit and have the conversation about why is that happening? He gave an answer that had to do with both business and creation. He said that there's a method that happens on the stage and the immersion that some of these actors from overseas, these brothers get, it's different and allows them to bring different dimensions to characters.
That, to me, is a conversation that is worth having, even if the answer to the question of why this is happening is inconvenient. I think it's a little bullshit, but... Could be.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts view the future of 'Game of Thrones' and its spin-offs?
Could be. He makes the shows. So I'm interested in why he thinks that way. But if we need to have a conversation about whether or not there's a specific beauty standard or an actress is castable or if there's a way that American audiences are not reacting, then we at least got to endeavor to have that without feeling like by doing it in and of ourselves that we're victimizing somebody.
So that's all I'm saying, but I'm keeping the master list because I noticed it. I start to watch all of these shows, and I'm like, huh, huh, huh, huh. You got to add her to the list. Which one? Where's she in? So she's the, where I was getting at, she's the puppet master that Dunk was looking at. Oh, shit.
What's her name? How we can't? Tansin Crawford. Tansin Crawford. We can't. Here's the thing. I got to stop it. The first mention of our sister's name can't be to add it to the master list of the biracial. That's crazy. As black men, I expect better from y'all. That's crazy.
She is gorgeous. Dunk, I completely understand the behavior. He went in there...
He was like, oh, what's this? He said, all right, man. But the last thing I will say is, like, do you also think that part of this is, like, now with the squirrel agenda, it's always a white brother going after the biracial sister? That's tough. Can we call it the one battle after it literally is? The one battle after another special?
Y'all don't want to talk about it. But that's another reason. Hold on. I promise you. Y'all don't want to talk about it.
Hold on.
But that's another reason why they do it. A lot of these leads be white guys. Sometimes they feel like if you put them with some of the other sisters that I'm talking about, it looks like Mr. and Mrs. Loving. Wow. I mean, they don't want to do it. They want to make it a little bit more palatable. They'll be like, why do you think I'm here?
Let's get to fucking nerds.
