Summary

Witness as a boy is born and uses fantasy to escape the reality of living in the foul wasteland that is Bayonne New Jersey. Young George RR Martin is the ultimate fanboy, transforms into the ultimate journeyman writer, and then after years of toiling in writers rooms and the clearance section of Waldenbooks creates a beloved book series! And with that series comes a fan base that is first Stark loving glad and eventually becomes Stark raving mad. Was that a lame sentence? Yes, but we met our deadline and published it anyway unlike some people!! Is it okay that the guy is too busy enjoying life and Elden Ring to return to Westeros or is he guilty of being like every dad in a 90s kid movie and making a promise he refuses to keep?

1:05.5	It feels like a Twilight Zone episode.
1:08.4	And ironically enough for a man who wrote a lot of speculative fiction with a bunch of silly twists at the end. Including a few Twilight Zone. Yeah, including several episodes of the reboot of Twilight Zone. Because it's like... You can just say Twilight Zone. You don't have to say the reboot every fucking time. God damn it. I wrote on Twilight Zone. Again, Mike, you've been trying to pitch this George Aramarton. And the thing is George R. Martin is that it's a little higher pitch. And he kind of mumbles a little bit and he kind of chaper's awful sometimes. But the thing is, but he never gets like angry. He never gets like, he never explodes. He's just, I'm just a guy. I just write books. You know, there's a lot of, there's a lot of sexual assault in and a lot of beheadings, but it's fine. But the food. I mean, yeah, Jake, you, you have method acted. First of all, if we're going to talk about, we're wearing a hat. George R. Martin looks like you and I got put in the fucking Brundlefly teleporter and then got aged for 30 years.
