Hello, and welcome to the Nauticast podcast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through a song of ice and fire.

I'm one of your hosts Emmett, also known as Poor Quentin.

And I'm your other host, Manu, also known as Manucleur Bomb.

And welcome to the 207th episode of the Nauticast titled Unlucky Sevens, an analysis of a

Storm of Swords, Tyrion 8, in which Joffrey and Marjorie finally get hitched. Oh, good luck to those

crazy kids. Another Westerosie wedding, where nothing could possibly go wrong. It's the first thing

that's ever gone wrong. So our spoiler warning, as always, prepare to be spoiled for the five Asong of Ice and Fire

novels, the three Duncan-Egg novellas, any histories, interviews, winds of winter sample

chapters, as well as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, the TV shows.

Anything and everything.

Our question this episode comes from one of our patroness James, who asks, I was listening to Episode 77 recently, where it was said that the reason Tyrion was sent to serve as hand

was in part due to Circe dismissing Lord Commander Barriston and the bad optics that could amount from that decision.

My question is, would Barriston have served with Joffrey even with his treatment of Sansa and the small folk in the following months?

I know he is known for standing by his heirs committed his various crimes slash abuses,

but would Barrison stand by after Robert's rebellion and simply serve another gay

unworthy of the crown?

Would any specific action Joff or his coalition committed cause Barrison to turn cloak?

Thanks for all that you do.

And what do you think?

If Barrison had been allowed to stick around he says to danny that i might still

be serving joffrey if he hadn't fired me but if barrisen saw how bad joffrey got in a clash of kings

do you think he'd reach a breaking point i don't mean to give barrisen no credit but no i really don't
