Rhaenra to the Seeds, all in Red was giving Lord Farquaad "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make."
These 2 are the best in the business. Can’t wait to get my coffee and listen to this recap on my commute to work tomorrow. Let’s go!
We greatly appreciate it!
Hugh’s mother was a princess, not a Targaryen bastard. She was King Jaheras and Queen Alysain’s (Damon and Vecerys grandparents) promiscuous daughter. He sent her away, she then ran away and started working at a brothel 😊
Yeah but we heard she was a real bastard of a princess
@@OystersClamsCockles ha ha
Siri play “promiscuous girl” by Nelly Furtado
Double D Addam is a bastard but only recognized bastards go by their bastard name. Addam of Hull is like Joan of Arc. Hull is a town on the island of Driftmark.
The bastard names for each region are
Pyke: Bastards born in the Iron Islands are given the surname "Pyke".
Sand: This is the bastard surname used for noble bastards in Dorne. The nickname "Sand Snakes" comes from the surname and the nickname of their father, the "Red Viper".
Flowers: This is the name used in the Reach.
Hill: This is the name used in the Westerlands.
Stone: This is the name used in the Vale.
Storm: This is the name used in the Stormlands.
Rivers: This is the name used in the Riverlands.
Waters: This is the name used in the Crownlands.
Snow: This is the name used in the North
Ohhh cool thanks for the clarification!
At this point in the run of both shows have we meet a bastard from every kingdom but The Iron Islands? I think so. He never appears on the show but in the ASOIAF books Cotter Pyke is one of the high ranking officers in the Night’s Watch. He’s in charge of Eastwatch.
But he’s not of noble birth on his either mom's or his dad's side so maybe it’s different in the Iron Islands.
EDIT: I was wrong, Cotter Pyke gets name dropped by Jeor Mormont while talking to Jon in the season 1 finale of GOT. But we never actually see him. It'd be interesting to see how bastards are treated on the Iron Islands.
I only knew Hull wasn’t his last name because it’s the name of a real life city in England which I think a lot of non-British people would miss.
Oooo Storm is so cool. And Waters sucks, comes off as if they wanted Rivers but it was already taken.
Flowers also sucks. They should have used Rose, like Axel Rose. 😅
I definitely thought Ulf just ended up on Silver Wing and had absolutely zero control over where she went. Him flying over Kings Landing was a complete accident
I love how they made Vermithor go: "Say it with your chest or Dracarys"
Ulf flying over king's landing was NOT part of any kind of plan to draw out Aemond. I think it was clear that it was one of two things. The first is just that Kings Landing is where Silverwing just happened to take Ulf on their first joyride as Barrett hinted to. Or the reason in my opinion, was that one of Ulf's first thoughts was that he wanted to fly over kings landing in hopes that his drunk friends will somehow see him and he can show off his new dragon/ prove once and for all he is indeed a Targaryen.
I see Alicent and Daemon on a redemption arc. Hopefully having learned valuable lessons from their mistakes. Her Ophelia/ Baptism moment was the turning point. I also like how Daemon's kryptonite is a young person with balls of steel. Like young Rhaenyra, he just seems charmed by the youngins. That and Harrenhall having taken its toll; humility seems to be sneaking in.
God I really hope so. But somehow it's easy to doubt either of them will eventually make good choices.
@@OystersClamsCocklestea
That Squid Game cook-off had to happen. Cuz Jace made it super clear to his mother that he was afraid of all the other lil bastards out there that could challenge him for the throne. So she wisely chose to thin the blond-haired herd.
i love seeing your reactions to this show cuz youre like the only people i follow the reviews of who havent read the book! very refreshing perspective 😂
We're illiterate. Makes everything more fun.
“Human Charcuterie Board” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My takeaway from Ulf’s joyride was simply Ulf being reckless, possibly DUI (dragonriding under the influence) and just wanted to buzz the tower and show off to his homies. 😂 Admittedly, he seems to have little control, but he also seems to have no clue that his life is in serious peril from multiple angles 😂 He seems like the type to give zero thoughts to the possible hazards before just doing whatever pops into his head. If that’s the case, Rhaenyra’s gonna be pissed!
@@heidijorigsby5081 yes. Ulf is a problem.
Going to be very very interesting to see if Hugh, Ulf, and Addam are all down to follow orders and what not
Ahhh it’s my first time watching your podcast and I’m hooked!! I do see HOD going for 4 seasons . So much to dissect with the other characters. But great stuff guys! Yall are funny!
That Olympic story at the top of the show…so cool! Nice job ladies.
COOK 'N BACON
Dunk and Egg (a knight of the seven kingdoms) will definitely fill the thrones fix for next year
Don’t say definitely yet. I want to see production wrapped first haha
I hold off listening to any recaps until I can hear yours, great content boys
Much appreciated.
No spoilers just important bastard information. Bastards in westeros only have the bastard last name if their father has said hey thats my bastard.. then they become snow, sand, rivers, waters, pike etc. Addam of hull literally means addam who is from hull, the town. If corlys recognized him as his bastard he'd be addam waters and if corlys legitimized him he'd be addam velaryon.
Great clarification. Thanks!
“No, it’s a cardigan but thanks for asking”😂😂😂
Aegon called him Ironrod in episode 2, the reason that’s his nickname I have learned is because he has 29 children
Oh hell yeah
At this point, it’s probably a 5 season show. S1 set the stage for a tight 4 seasons but this season’s pacing (not a criticism) has made it difficult to wrap up the story in 16 more episodes. It’ll likely be 5 seasons. You’ll be surprised by what’s to come.
I kept waiting for Rhaenyra and Masaria to have the awkward “Do we talk about what happened between us?” talk
Clam Fam medaling in the 2024 Paris Olympics!! So awesome! 🥓 Cookin' bacon! #2ndBreakfast 😄
Aegon only became King because his mother propped him up, but she has abandoned his recovery to get healthy and continue as King. It's telling that only Larys is trying to motivate Aegon to work hard and get back to the throne, whereas his mother has left his bed, Cristen is not present as his hand, and Aeomond is doing God knows what as Prince Regent.
I also think Ulf stepping on a dragon egg is symbolic of the start of the extinction of the dragons. They no longer respect or honour them in order to preserve their lineage.
So the cracking sound is actually Aegon’s walking cane which is why he falls
You right
@@OystersClamsCockles I had to watch the episode a second time after listening to the pod because I never noticed the sound and that was when I noticed the waking stick
Great episode as always guys!
Interesting to see how high the Lady Mysarian has flown, Rhaenyra now skipping small council meetings to speak with the Lady one on one, successful track record of ideas as well.
For the finale, I think we have to get some deaths, we are too bloodthirsty of a fan base. Criston Cole and Ser Gwayne are top of my list.
I also think this is a three season show, with now so many dragons in play - destruction and potentially victory could come quickly.
Keep up the breakdowns, excited for the finale and have really enjoy tagging along this season !
Aegon’s cane snapped. Not his leg. Lol
God damn they can’t get him a more well-made cane?!?
@@OystersClamsCocklesHe's supposed to have a wheelchair, but I don't see Larys letting him use one 😅
I love your work. Congrats!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hugh’s mom is Saera Targeryan.
She was the daughter of Jahearys.
She was disowned.
So much happened this episode! I loved it! 💛
It was a wild one!
One could argue that Mongrel and Andals are both racists and class comments

#swingthejib
You guys are awesome thanks for the great work!
Our pleasure! Like at Chick-fil-A
I have laughed an unbelievable amount of times within the first ten minutes. Humor is on point here boys😂 I am, in fact, extremely entertained.
WE'RE DOING IT
When daemon killed Blackwood it felt like he was being forced to do something and made him feel small and not in control especially by a child when he’s already Rhaenyras king consort now he’s just been made the Riverlands bitch too
For me deamons arc paid off in this scene, As I felt that damon giving up and executing Blackwood was him accepting the fact that he got out maneuvered and became helpless. I felt damon loved the power and validation that a king gave him, But he is someone that has enjoyed so much freedom and never had to deal with his consequences because he wasnt King.
It was definitely a much needed ego death. Willem represented everything Daemon is/was and how much of a pain in the ass he is politically. Just doing whatever cruel, chaotic things he feels like to reach a goal and leaving others to deal with the consequences.
He essentially offed himself in a way. It finally made him understand that the only thing keeping Daemon off the same chopping block all those years was Viserys and how that stress also contributed to the King's deterioration.
Now Rhaenyra just needs to yank him by the ear. The question I have is: Daemon is learning humility and politicking the hard way, but Rhaenyra is allowing herself to slip into the power of the dragon. So on these separate paths, will their methods align in the long run?
@@jessjess23brooks89 nicely done!
Agreed about Ulf just going off on his own there versus this being a plan, esp given he was all over the shop with his flying. Surprised we did see his Tavern Budds looking up going 'Is that Ulf?' at some point.
I guess the Dragon Handlers not participating was in large part because they'd have ended up getting crisped, however it will be interesting to see if they will be back now the riders have been determined, or whether they've departed Dragonstone entirely, which might play into the gradual decline/decrepitude of the younger dragons going forward?
It will be interesting to see if the dragon keepers are like...all the way gone.
@@OystersClamsCockles I suspect they'll still be around. It's not like they have anywhere to go.
On the subject of side characters, we still have Cregan's greybeard army marching around out there... And as far as I understood it, Jace secured their crossing from the freys. Seems like that sub-plot needs to get addressed again before the season ends.
I absolutely expect that to come up in the season finale. Open the season with them, close the season with them.
RandoDouche= IronRod- he’s the master of laws
Yeah yeah he's Rando Douche.
@@OystersClamsCockles 😂😂😂
Jasper Wylde. Lord of Rain in the storm lands. He is called Ironrod by the smallfolk in regards to his, um, member, because he fathered 29 kids on four different wives.
I like him in the show, he is sassy and pragmatic.
i really hope we get to see Raena claim a dragon next episode!! Also i can totally see Ulf falling off his dragon or something lol he doesn't seem cut out for this life
We haven't had anyone die from straight up falling off their dragon so that would be a fun twist haha
Second episode of your podcast. Great breakdown!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@OystersClamsCockles I even joined patreon for the first time in support. Thanks guys. Going back and watching old episodes now
What about retrospective on The Boys? Loved your Shogun comments ❤
And definitely checking out your older GoT content and Sopranos.
Awesome stuff being on so long!
We appreciate it! Thanks for being here
Another great one yall! One thing you got slightly wrong, Hugh’s mother was not a bastard. She was an actual Targaryen princess who got pushed out of the house and decided to go work at a brothel. All good though keep up the good work!
Was that information about Hugh’s mom in the show or is that book stuff?
@@OystersClamsCockles neither technically, but Saera Targaryen was the sister of baelon (visy and daemons dad) and she was pushed away for being promiscuous, so she went and worked in a brothel. So though it isn’t stated directly, by his words in the show Hugh is claiming that’s his mother. Again, if you didn’t have knowledge of the exact family tree that wouldn’t be something you would’ve known so I can see why you thought she was a bastard. Of course that isn’t 100% she could just be a bastard, but with context clues I’d say his mother is Saera
@@OystersClamsCocklesdefinitely book info. As far as we know his mom is sister to Bealon, so could be a bastard or a princess. But definitely the other commenter is saying it's not because King Jaehaerys is known to be loyal to his wife and supposedly never had any bastards. They did have 13 children tho, and one was a whore in Lys, that's why there was such a mess with the succession that put Vizzy T up on the Iron Throne and why the other guy thinks Hughs Mom is Princess Saera.
The snap you heard during physical therapy was the wooden walking cane, I believe.
Talking about the Riverlands also has me wondering what happened to the gray beards Jace was promised from the North?
I think we're probably getting those northmen in the finale. And yes, correct about the walking cane snapping

I love these videos thank you so much!
You are very welcome!
The dragons have always been used for war. The dragon keepers are mad about the blood and sanctity. Not war
I feel like the most confusing aspect of this season has been the treatment of time. This whole plot line of the dragonrider tryouts feels like it's taken place over the course of a few days, but if you compare that to the amount of healing that Aegon has gone through, then that tells us it's been at least several months. So we can't really know if the final scene of the episode took place immediately after tryouts or not.
@@AngieDirk excellent point! I hadn’t even thought about that contradiction. I was running with the belief that this was all happening in a very short period of time. But you are absolutely correct that Aegon’s recovery to this point would have taken weeks if not months. Hell, I feel like it would take that long even with modern medicine. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Caught it again at the beginning. That boy Barrett LOVES using the word “zeitgeist”
Great recap as always though
Gotta stay on top of the zeitgeist!
You guys had me cracking up a few times! Informative + Funny = Subscriber ⭐️ The other dragons yelling racial slurs made me have to leave my desk. I was crying 😂😂
Hahah thanks for subscribing!
Check out first 10 min of Watch Dem Thrones they check y’all out. Honestly similar sense of humor. Give them a try! ⭐️⭐️ I’m still a fan if you don’t but HUZZA I listen to your recommendations! ⭐️⭐️
NOT A SPOILER :Book Information and correction - Hugh's Mother was not a bastard daughter, she was a full blood child. Saera Targaryen Daughter of King Jaehaerys and The Good Queen Alysanne King Jaehaerys didn't really like her. But point is she is not a bastard child, she just enjoyed a good time ;)... Well there is also a chance the some of the male encounters where painted as 'she wanted it' and I would say a high chance the crimes of men were writen as the scandal of a young woman.
But not a bastard :)
Saera was actually Jaehaerys's favorite child before the scandal. That's why his disappointment and fury were so intense. So intense it destroyed his relationship with Alysanne.
But he secretly missed her and regretted it. He used to mistake Alicent for her and it made his final days peaceful to believe Saera had returned to him. Which is why I think Vermithor took to Hugh. There was a severed bond and sadness there that might have transferred to his dragon.
Appreciate the insight BUT book readers really need to wrap their heads around the show not following every element of the books. We do not know EXACTLY who Hugh's mother was in the show. As GRRM has said, there are two different canons: book and show.
Hugh’s mum was old king jacerys’s true born daughter. She was always bad and ended up running away and and worked in pleasure houses across the narrow sea.
Need to know where I can get Barrett’s hoodie 🙏🏼

Alicent creating a music video for her boy Cole
I had heard that the initial plan after season 1 aired was for 4 seasons total.
I definitely think it was an accident Ulf flying over KL but also Rhaenyra was posted up at the perfect time with all her dragons 😅 so did she notice he was gone and was like ope gotta be ready because he may be getting chased by Vhagar LOL
Whatever I try not to think about things too hard. Either way it gave me full body chills.
Can’t wait until next week.
I'm afraid we're gonna lose Daemon soon. What else can he add now? Rhaenyra is doing better without him....
Is he gonna die shortly after he leaves Harrenhal?? 😞
I'm thinking Alicent will give her life for one of her sons. She doesn't seem like she has that many good options left. But Daemon. First, he's gotta take out Aemond. Plus, he's still such a wild card. And I'm hoping he just cut off the hand of the Blackwood knight. Not his head. Cuz as a kid he was such a valiant soul. I wanna see more.
Daemon is still Rhaenyra's most valuable asset, of course she needs him. These seeds have only just bonded and probably don't know what they are doing. Daemon is battle-tested, dangerous, and has a bond so strong with his dragon that he doesn't even need to speak commands.
@@Noelle_714 idk if he will even leave… There’s that scene where Alys tells him (real? dream?) that he is going to die at Harrenhal 😬 I think of that every time things get sketchy for him over there… 🫣
Excited for Silo S2!! 5:02
Me too!!! S1 was SO good!
@@a.girl.has.no.name_ I can’t wait to do live shows on my channel!! Lol
Hugh’s mom is actually a true born Targaryen but she was disowned by the family
Sounds like book stuff. Different canon. No way for us to know that’s the case on the show.
@@OystersClamsCockles definitely book stuff. Just wanted to share a fun fact… I think Hugh mentioning that she specifically noted his similarities to Daemon & Viserys can maybe speak to her proximity to them but definitely doesn’t specify that she was a princess at all in the show
The man you so maturely call a "douche that nobody cares about" is Jasper Wylde; he's the master of laws.
Fully expect these new dragons to all die ASAP. Rhaenyra can't have nice things
Y’all crack me up!
Daemon got punk'd by Oscar Tullly!
Got OWNED badly
Team Hugh 🤘🏼
Also if we are guessing possible deaths ( I haven’t read book so no spoilers) I think we will see dragon battle and I think Aemond will force Heleana to fight on Dreamfyre (already saw that in next week teaser) and I think she will die. OR Baela. OR Adam of Hull. I think we definitely get a death but I don’t think it will be one of the fantastic four. (Rhaenyra, Daemon, Alicent, Cole.)
I’m new here. Your intro is insane lmfao
The greatest intro music of all time. Hear the full version on podcast platforms haha
Dragonstone and the Red Keep is roughly 400 miles away from each other.

@OystersClamsCockles we will see next episode when he starts calling him grandsire, Rhenys litterally says his mother must've been beautiful because Lanor is gay. Seasmoke was Lanor's dragon so he sniffed out his son.
