0:00.0 | Who was the most hated villain of all time? Is it Darth Vader? Is it Draco Malfoy? Is it |
0:08.4 | Con from Star Trek 2? Voldemort? Sauron? Is it Newman? Is it Biff from back to the future? |
0:18.8 | Is it Skeletor? Or is it Agent Smith? Well, up until a couple of years ago, most people would say |
0:25.7 | that the most hated villain of all time was none of these people. It was Geoffrey Baratheon, |
0:32.3 | everyone hated Geoffrey Baratheon. But George Martin has created a villain, another villain, |
0:39.8 | even more hated than Geoffrey. And that villain's name is Ramsey. After making my episode on |
0:48.9 | the psychology of Geoffrey Baratheon one or two years ago, I got many, many emails asking for |

1:48.8 | This is the psychology and Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. I am chair of the |
1:55.6 | couple and family therapy program at Antiac University, Seattle. And I'm also a licensed |
2:01.5 | therapist. Today it's just me and I thought I would analyze Ramsey, Ramsey Bolton, Ramsey |
2:08.1 | Stone. I thought I would give the history and at the end, I'll provide my diagnosis and |
2:15.1 | some quotes from the books and the TV show. All right. Well, first off, I just want to provide |
2:23.5 | a little bit of an intro. About 10 years ago, I received the audio book from a friend of mine. |
