| 0:00.0 | Long days, pleasant nights, and welcome to Kingslingers, a doof media podcast journeying through |
| 0:21.2 | Stephen King's Dark Tower series and beyond. I am your host, Constable Reader Scott Daly, |
| 0:25.3 | and I'm joined as always by my loyal butler, King Newby, Matt Freeman. How's it going today, Matt? |
| 0:30.3 | Oh, it's going well and you can believe me. I'll be loyal to you till I betray you. |
| 0:35.9 | Please pay no attention to the smoking thing behind the bookshelf, Matt. |
| 0:39.8 | I'm going to immediately tattle on you if I find anything smoking in the bookshelves. |
| 0:44.4 | This week on the show, our final show of 2021. |
| 0:48.8 | The Eyes of the Dragon continues with chapters 25 through 45. |

| 1:35.1 | really really great, really sharp. Yeah, there's a lot of that going on. And I agree that the |
| 1:40.2 | quote unquote intrigue is really good in in this particular i mean like the plot itself |
| 1:45.6 | doesn't really move forward that far you know like we kind of ended last week knowing that peter was |
| 1:50.5 | going to be found guilty and we finish this week with peter found guilty and so like you could say |
| 1:56.6 | this is really the inciting incident of the story right and yet it's two episodes in 150 pages in and we've just finally got to the inciting incident of the story, right? And yet it's two episodes in, 150 pages in, |
| 2:02.5 | and we've just finally got to that inciting incident. But I think it is so, the characters are so |
