The I'm going of Ice and Fire Book Club.

Today we are into a Storm of Swords, Catlin 2, and you may be wondering, well, where's

Matt?

Where's Sir Matt? He's not here. You know, the Bud Knight, the Lord of the White Castle is absent.

Unfortunately, Matt did have a little bit of an issue. He failed a steroid test and here at the Bend the Knee Agency. We take this very seriously

Performance Enhancing drugs. He was podcasting so hard he felt like he had to push himself.

I'm just kidding. It's Matt's birthday. He went to visit some family. I told him,

a big guy, you got the week off. Again, the week off, because you know, I'm a nice guy. And I had to call in the reserve, I had to call the banners for a replacement last second.

And that is our good friend Joanna who was actually on a couple episodes ago.

Joanna, thank you so much for being here and how are you?

Hey, I'm happy to be here and I'm doing great.

I'm excited to talk about Catlin's chapter.

Awesome, yes, I know that you just re-read a Feast for Crows, but obviously before that you had re-read a Storm of Swords

for the first time in like 10 years.

So I kind of wanted to get your elevator thoughts about how it was revisiting a storm

of sorts 10 years later.

Oh, it was amazing.

I had forgotten how much happened in that book.

So I think a lot of people talk about that,

that so much happens in that third book,

and it's so true.

There are so many things that happen.
