| 0:00.0 | All right. Well, let's dive in, Jimmy, to some of the news here as part of part two of today's episode. |
| 0:20.2 | Man, a plethora. Is that the word I should use of |
| 0:25.5 | information over the weekend? Iron House. Just insane amount of stuff. George talking about |
| 0:33.5 | Ryan Condell, talking about winds of winter, talking about that we're getting an |
| 0:39.0 | ARIA show that kind of ended the John Snow show. |
| 0:44.0 | We could probably talk for three hours and we don't have that much time to talk about it |
| 0:47.3 | today. |
| 0:48.0 | So I think we'll start with this, I just want to say this is how I feel Jamie you know that I have been a staunch |
| 0:57.5 | wins of winter so leader yeah yeah I kind of feel this is the first time I've ever I've really |
| 1:06.4 | ever felt like yeah it's not happening yeah yeah I'm kind of with you yeah it was the way he phrased |
| 1:15.7 | talking about now we did he did drop some news saying i was planning on killing sanza and then i |
| 1:20.0 | rewrote it and then i had to go to a john snow chapter and actually there's some people now are |
| 1:25.0 | even more locked into it but to to me saying he's like he definitely |
| 1:29.4 | straight up confirmed his 1100 pages again, which is more pages than any other book he's |
| 1:35.8 | written by the way. So who knows how much that needs to be. But the way he was talking about it and him saying like nobody's touching it if I die, |
| 1:47.9 | to me in a way felt like a kind of a cop out to say like it's almost like, well, you have a Game of |
| 1:57.3 | Thrones. And if game of, if people view the ending of game of |
| 2:02.9 | throne's bad it almost leaves him in this position to people could always wonder was the |
| 2:07.5 | were the books better yeah his quote I guess we'll read the quote it says if that happens |
| 2:12.8 | meaning if he's not able to finish aka maybe he passes on my work won't. He says, it'll be like the mystery of Edwin Drood, he adds, referring to the Charles Dickon unfinished final novel.

Supposedly, he's, not supposedly. It's already there. Yeah, he's written 1,100 manuscript pages. Pretty crazy. Yeah. So, but that's kind of what it, I mean, that's kind of what it felt like. I mean, obviously, I'm still hopeful. I, I'm very hopeful that we get wins. and I still am, you you know we're obviously going to be speculating |
| 2:52.7 | about what happens because hey there's some more info on that right on yeah that he dropped |
