Hello and welcome to Bend the Knee, a Song of Ice and Fire podcast.

0:08.3

I am Sir Matt, and it's just me today.

0:11.1

Jimmy and I are supposed to record this week, and then while out here in the Pacific Northwest,

0:15.6

we're having like torrential downpours and storms.

0:18.7

And so our recording day for this week which is normally

0:21.9

Wednesdays I was out without internet for like 24 hours so we weren't able to do so
