The I'm going to Hello, welcome to Bend The Knee, a Song of Ice and Fire podcast. I am Sir Matt The But Night.

And I am Sir Ezra Watchful. Welcome to our song of ice and fire book club. It's

follow up Friday and boy do we have a good one. A surprise. Some good stuff here in the beginning. So, real excited. Yeah, so I don't,

when was this, when was this announcer? I guess it was announced. Well, let's see.

So today.

Today, that's what I thought, because I mean I assumed I would have seen the,

yeah, so today, September 27th. Yeah, one 29 p.m.

So yeah, so maybe by the time you're listening to this,

which will be tomorrow morning, you have seen it, or if not, well, we'll tell you about it and that is gur on his not a blog I'm always I'm always

on not a blog watch always just kind of you know making sure seeing what's going on

yeah in gers in gers thoughts and kind of, you know, making sure seeing what's going on. Yeah, Ingers, Ingers thoughts, and he left us a huge fire and blood excerpt.

Yeah. You know, Sir Ezra and I have kind of talked a little bit about how we are kind of nervous.

You know, we're excited for fire and blood, but a little nervous for this one because there's already three novellas that take place during this time period and so we're like I wonder if it's just going to end up being a bunch of recycled material and that does not seem to be the case

No, not at all. I mean I am like stoked. I honestly cannot believe you sent me the

tail end of this while I was at work. I had parent teacher conferences and I have a parent walk in and they see me just pacing

as I'm kind of reading and like fist pumping and they're like, wow, they're like, what are you all excited about?

I'm like, oh, you know, just, you know, new passage,

fire and blood, you know, they had no idea what I was like.

Yeah, well, and yeah, it's awesome.

And so what it is, is the one thing you and I have talked about with Fire and

Blood is that the thing we were hoping for the most would be stuff about

Jeharis, King Jeharis, because there's such a big time gap in there in World of Ice and Fire and we know he was like the best King Westros has ever had and there's like nothing on there.
