So, spoiler alert, Bran? What the F? Okay, well, we'll get to all that later on in the show. I don't want to talk politics. I just want to do an hour on that final Game of Thrones episode. So later in the show, we will do a full hour on that Game of Thrones final episode. But first, we're never going to agree on everything. I think we can all agree the brand should not have been king.
