| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to still watching the television podcast from Vanity Fair. |
| 0:24.0 | We cover entire seasons of the hottest shows on TV and right now we are diving deep into |
| 0:28.9 | House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel series on HBO. I'm Josh Wiggler and here to discuss |
| 0:34.8 | House of the Dragon episode nine, here to stage a podcast coup with me. It is Richard Lawson, Richard. |
| 0:41.2 | A soft coup, don't worry. A soft coup. Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to be hanging anybody or, you know, |
| 0:47.6 | I might bust a dragon through the floor of something, but that's it. That wasn't a part of the |
