Hello and welcome to Game of Stools Presents House of the Dragon. Recap number eight. It is Robbie Fox and Nick Hamilton.

As you see, it's not the full crew, a skeleton crew, as they call it. We are a house divided tonight because with the Met's Playoffs on,

and the Met's about to lose. I believe it's the bottom of the ninth inning right now, six nothing. I think the Inquem, and that misery.

I gotta be honest. I think it's over. I think there have been two major deaths tonight. First, first was King Viserys.

For one out for our board boy, finally. Like, we that bit is gonna be sticky on my floor. I was gonna say, you just, you really poured one out respect.

Yeah, yeah, no, I had to do it. That guy hung on longer than I thought, just like the Met's, and we actually have live feed into Kevin right now, just in the misery.

I think Frank is off screen currently, just parading him. But he is not going to watch the episode yet.

Clam clearly is already left that misery. Brutal that for F. I've watched those guys just real quick, like the Met's talk right now.

I've watched those guys become so optimistic for entire season to watch. Dave Dan and Frank just ruin a forum and here's just brutal.

That was a quick downfall. I mean, if you're not watching, if you're just listening on the podcast feed, we just did a live check in with KFC, and it looks like King Viserys dying.

I mean, on the stream, he legitimately looks like he's going out in a slow, painful fashion. But he's going out a lot quicker because it looked like it was good for a while. I mean, King Viserys, he had eight episodes where we thought this guy was going out.

We thought he was going out in the first episode. We were like, maybe they do something crazy here. No, he made it all the way to eight, almost to the penultimate episode of the season. So much respect for him for fighting through that.

Honestly, I really didn't expect him to get this far. We going back early to our first second episode. We were calling it by episode five at the most.

You make it through once I mean episode one there, picking at his back, we finally got to see that again this episode. We were the whole time. I was wondering I was like, they got to remove the mask right they got to show us what's hiding under their full two face.

Like seeing the inside everything. I I was actually kind of like normally that stuff gross me out. I was like, that's kind of cool. Like when they do that kind of CGI and stuff.

Dude, his eye socket looked so deep. I was like, what if he drops something in there? Like as a guitar player, you understand sometimes you drop a kick inside the acoustic guitar. And you're like, oh, it's the worst thing you get to shake it out.

Do they have to shake the king out sometimes if he drops the pick and they got a little bit of a bandage or something like, we're going to need to flip over just shake your head for us.

Absolutely. Unbelievable. That was gross. Let's get into the episode though. It's enough about the match that's enough about the misery that KFC and Clem are currently in. We kick episode eight off with the news that the sea snakes throat has been slashed and he was thrown overboard.

It's been like six years, I think since Rayness has seen him and he has a horrible fever. They're like, he's got his throat slashed and thrown overboard. That's bad. But apparently the fevers worse.

Yeah, and they said what it's going to be three days until they see him, but then they just go straight to King's Landing. Yeah, anyway, we don't really get an update on him. Do we know it's kind of left in the balance, which makes it like it'd be very funny if they go through all this and he gets back and he's like, guys, I was fucking fine. They were over exaggerating. They were just worried about me.
