Wow, Joanna Robinson. Wow. Wow. That is all I have to say. That's it. Is that the end of the podcast?

That's the end of the podcast of a cast of kings. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to an unofficial Game of Thrones podcast.

My name is David Chen, and I've never read any of the books in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.

My name is Joanna Robinson. I've read every book in George R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.

And I'm kind of grateful that I haven't read any of the books in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire,

because I did not see that one coming, Joanna. I got to say I did not see that one coming.

And I feel very proud. I feel semi-responsible like I helped shield you.

You're like bamboos mom protecting Bambi, you know, from the dangers of the world.

I do know that makes me sound really bad-assed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, and things ended well for her.

So if you're just tuning in to a cast of kings for the first time, you can find more of our episodes at Game of Thrones Podcast.com.

You can also email us at a cast of kings at gmail.com as many of you did last evening, which is when the episode reigns of Castamere aired.

If you don't know how things work here, we will spoil everything through this week's episode of Game of Thrones.

But we will not spoil anything from future week's episodes of Game of Thrones.

That includes anything in the next time on preview on HBO.

It includes anything from future books of Game of Thrones, future plot developments, shall remain unspoiled.

So I guess before we get into this week's episode, let's just say that in my opinion, and maybe I'm wrong about this Joanna,

I'll probably be proven wrong about this.

But in my opinion, this is going to be one of those like seminal defining moments of television

that people are talking about years from now, right?

You remember when you saw it for the first time, the serious finale of Seinfeld, or the serious finale of Sopranos.

This will become of that level.
