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

I'm one of your host, Manu, also known as Manucleur bomb.

And I'm your other host, Emmett, also known as Poor Quentin.

Welcome to the 237th episode of the NataCast titled Red, White, and Gold, an analysis

of a Feast for Crows, Jamie One, in which Jamie Lanister stands there and stands there and stands

there.

Give him credit, it's harder than it sounds.

I would have, as soon as Bail and Swan and Loris Thore came up to offer to take my place, I would have been like, yeah, thank you. I'm good. I need a nap.

I think we're all wondering how many times Jamie had to go to the bathroom in his white cloak standing right there.

That's really what the smell is. Everyone thinks it's Tywin. No, they're just being polite to Jamie. Our spoiler warning is we'll be covering

the five novels, the three Duncan Egg novellas, histories, interviews, the Wins 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 our patron Big E, who asks, what do you think about the prospect

of Stoneheart forcing Brienne to honor her original oath to her and resume serving her

as a sworn sword, putting her in Jamie's past shoes, so to speak, having to juggle multiple oaths,

while serving a leader who's clearly unhinged? From Stoneheart's POV, that seems like an appealingly

cruel punishment

for Brie, forcing this highly honorable person to serve someone deeply dishonorable,

with perhaps a deeper intent to corrupt them against honor as Stoneheart has been.

So what do you think of that? I love that idea of like Stonehart almost becoming the Mad King

equivalent for Brieen that Jamie had to deal with.

Yeah, I think there's a lot to like in this kind of idea.
