Podcasts about Aegon

Het Canadese WSP blijft, na twee keer afgewezen te zijn, bij z’n avances. Het wil Arcadis kopen en blijft achter z’n overnamepoging staan. Het ‘herbevestigd’ z’n bod. Deze aflevering hebben we het over dat overnamebod. De Vereniging van Effectenbezitters is klaar met de houding van de directie en zegt tegen BNR dat Arcadis in gesprek moet met de Canadezen. Om het beste bod eruit te slepen voor aandeelhouders. Daar hebben we het over, gaat het ook over ‘de meest activistische minister van Financiën’. Of te wel Scott Bessent. De Amerikaan blijft maar ingrijpen in de financiële markten, terwijl er geen crisis is. We zoeken uit of dat wel zo handig is en wat dat voor jou als belegger betekent.

House of the Dragon Season 3 Finale: The Treasons at TumbletonMary and James wrap up the final episode of House of the Dragon season 3 with a mix of praise, frustration, and a lot of dragon-related chaos. They break down the finale's biggest turns, from Rhaenyra hardening into full war mode to the destruction at Tumbleton and the emotional collapse of multiple characters.This episode is mostly a heated discussion of the finale's pacing, character motivations, and whether the season's ending choices actually worked. Mary and James also reflect on how the season set up season 4, and which claimants to the throne still feel believable.Key topicsIn this episode, Mary and James open by judging the finale as a strong episode, even if not the best of the season.They compare standout moments across the season, including the Battle of the Gullet and Aegon and Sunfyre's reunion.They debate whether the finale rushed Helena's story and Aegon's turn toward brutality.Rhaenyra's reaction to Aegon's return becomes a major turning point, especially as she leans further into prophecy, symbolism, and violence.They dig into Rhaenyra sending Mysaria away, reading it as either self-protection, mistrust, or damage control.Corlys, Baela, and Alyn all get attention as the discussion covers loyalty, inheritance, and the tension between family and survival.The Harrenhal storyline gets a deep dive, including Alys Rivers' tragic backstory and the history of the castle itself.Helena's confinement, hunger strike, visions, and eventual death are discussed as one of the finale's most confusing and emotional arcs.The Tumbleton battle dominates the second half, including Ormund's strategy, Hugh's betrayal, the army's breach of the city, and the collapse of the defense. A bold, immersive, and conversation-starting adaptation that the hosts both admire and dissect.Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/watchthatjawn/https://www.tiktok.com/@watchthatjawnpodc 

As we wade into the highly anticipated Season 3 finale of House of the Dragon, the tension and drama have left us with plenty to unpack. The stakes have never been higher. Rhaenyra's discovery that Aegon, and Sunfire, still live sets her into a tailspin that impacts everything and everyone. This leads to the inevitable battle at Tumbleton where Daemon finally gets to unleash his Dragonfire with devastating consequences. But a betrayal changes the course of the battle and, quite possibly, shifts the balance of power as we head into the 4th, and final, season of the show. We break it all down for you in our own season finale as we cover all the major, and many, developments in an epic finale to Season 3 of House of the Dragon.

De Fed-notulen komen eraan - wat Errol Keyner betreft hét moment om het nieuwe sausje dat Kevin Warsh over het voorzitterschap giet te bespreken. Warsh wil, in tegenstelling tot zijn voorganger Powell, spaarzaam zijn met zijn guidance, zodat beleggers zich daar minder door laten leiden. Een goed plan, vindt Keyner. Het heeft weinig toegevoegde waarde om voorspellingen over rente en inflatie te doen, die met veel onzekerheid zijn omgeven. Wel moet Warsh nu écht een keer boter bij de vis gaan doen, om die inflatie onder de 2% te duwen. Iets wat al vijf jaar niemand is gelukt... In Beurs in Zicht stomen we je klaar voor de beursweek die je tegemoet gaat. Want soms zie je door de beursbomen het beursbos niet meer. Dat is verleden tijd!

Was für ein Staffelfinale! Wie finden wir Rhaenyras Make-Up? Und warum hat Alicia jetzt einen Crush auf Daemon Targaryen? Wir besprechen heute House of the Dragon Staffel 3, Folge 8: Rhaenyra erfährt, dass Aegon noch lebt, und wird zunehmend rücksichtsloser, während Daemon den möglichen Frieden mit den Grünen ablehnt. In Stolperstadt eskaliert die Lage zur blutigen Schlacht, bei der Ulf mit Silberschwinge schließlich beide Seiten und die Stadt selbst mit Drachenfeuer verwüstet. Am Ende stürzt sich Helaena aus dem Fenster, während eine Stickerei ihren Tod und Rhaenyra blutüberströmt auf dem Eisernen Thron zeigt, ein düsteres Omen für den weiteren Krieg. #HouseOfTheDragon #Staffel3 #hotds3 #hotd #Folge8 Nächste Woche besprechen wir Stranger Things Staffel 1, Folge 1 & 2.

Το House of the Dragon ολοκλήρωσε την 3η του σεζόν και το POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες καβαλάει κι αυτό τον δράκο του και όπως πάντα, ακολουθεί τη δράση από κοντά, επεισόδιο μετά το επεισόδιο.Προσοχή, spoilers για το φινάλε της 3ης σεζόν!Η Rhaenyra προσπαθεί όλη τη σεζόν να κυβερνήσει τιμώντας το πνεύμα του πατέρα της, αλλά τώρα στριμωγμένη για τα καλά στη γωνία, και με τον Aegon έξαφνα ξανά ζωντανό, θα μπορέσει να αντισταθεί, και να μην γίνει αυτό που δεν θέλει να γίνει; Ξαφνικά πιο σκληρή και πιο μαυτοντυμένη, μιλάει από το μπαλκόνι για προφητείες και για την παλιά Valyria. Τι επίδραση θα έχει αυτό στους γύρω της; Τι μήνυμα θα πάρει ο Daemon; Πώς θα αντιδράσει η Haelena; Και ποιος είναι ο ρόλος της Mysaria σε αυτή τη νέα δυναμική;Στο μεταξύ στο Tumbleton ήρθε η ώρα για μάχη. Γιατί ο Ormund ξαφνικά δεν μοιάζει και τόσο σίγουρος; Που είναι ο ρημάδης ο Ulf; Ποια είναι η έξαφνη ριζοσπαστική πρόταση που γίνεται στον Daemon, και πόσο μπορεί να αλλάξει τα δεδομένα; Πότε θα ακουστεί το πρώτο dracarys της μάχης, και θα είναι αρκετό; Τι θα γίνει όταν απασφαλίζει ο Roddy the Ruin; Ποιος τον είδε και δεν τρόμαξε για τη ζωή του; Και τελοσπάντων, ΠΟΙΟΣ ΘΑ ΑΝΟΙΞΕΙ ΤΗΝ ΚΑΤΑΡΑΜΕΝΗ ΤΗΝ ΠΟΡΤΑ;;

SPOILER ALERT! Rhaenyra wanted to be anointed queen, so naturally she killed the High Sept and may have started a full religious war. Great plan. No notes. In our spoiler-filled recap of House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 8, the season finale, we break down Rhaenyra's mad-queen spiral, Daemon calming her down with High Valyrian prophecy therapy, Baela finally calling her out, Alyn stepping up, and the disastrous decision to execute the one guy who could actually crown her. We also talk Helaena's tragic final scenes, the white horse vision, the butterfly imagery, Rhaenyra force-feeding her sister, Mysaria getting fired and escaping, Aegon rising with Sunfire, Ormond's brutal end, Roddy the Ruin going out in a blaze of glory, and Ulf being possibly the worst dragon rider in Westeros. Plus: Rachel's top characters of the season, Ormond Hall of Fame talk, Daeron getting knighted, Gwayne serving Daeron the Daring, Corlys' loyal Velaryon badasses, Rhaenyra's terrible public prophecy speech, Team Green chaos, Team Black incompetence, and the pain of waiting two years for more dragons.

In this thrilling season finale of House of the Dragon, Sarah and Will dissect the intense events of Season 3, Episode 8, titled "The Treasons of Tumbleton." They explore the dramatic transformation of Rhaenyra as she grapples with the weight of her lineage and the brutal choices she must make to claim her throne. The episode dives into her complex relationship with Daemon, showcasing the Targaryen belief in their divine right to rule and how this ideology shapes their actions. The duo also examines the chilling dynamics within the Hightower family, particularly the treatment of Daeron and how Ormund's manipulations impact the unfolding conflict. They discuss the moral ambiguities of leadership in a time of civil war, questioning whether Rhaenyra's descent into cruelty is a necessary evil or a tragic flaw. Listeners can expect a deep dive into the episode's standout moments, including the visceral siege of Tumbleton, the complex interplay of power among the Targaryens, and the poignant sacrifices made by characters like Helena.

#houseofthedragon #gameofthrones SEASON FINALE! News of Aegon's resurrection" sends Rhaenyra into a panic, but she quickly regains focus and starts to get her house in order. Daemon joins forces with the Rivermen and Winter Wolves to bring the Hightower host at Tumbleton to heel. Lines are drawn, loyalties and tested, secrets are revealed and tragedy strikes as Westeros continues to be at war.

Noam and Jen know that 2026 is hard and scary and that everyone wants to return to 2020. But alas, we do have to discuss the things happening in 2026, like El-Sayed's very slim win in the Michigan Democrat primary for Senate. As per usual the polling was wrong. The problem is, the polling was very, very wrong and people are starting to ask questions about if that happens for less than honest purposes.  Speaking of manipulation, Twitter announced that they will be rolling out a new content creator payment system that seems designed to demonetize those who aren't providing anything of use to the platform. The requirements for both content type and metrics will be much higher than they are currently, and it sounds like the platform will be keeping a tight lid on who will qualify for payouts. Will we finally see the end of engagement slop? Will influencers who no longer meet monetization criteria stop posting? We'll find out next month! For our WAWC, we discuss season three of House of the Dragon, which aired it's season finale this past Sunday. Overall the season is a mixed bag, but we do love that Aegon is now comic relief. And that Aemond's fiancee may turn him into a toad if he tried to take Aemond from her.   

The House of the Dragon Season 3 finale broke Rhaenyra for good — Chanel , Brandon and Sharmane recap the heel turn, Helaena's tragic end, and where Season 4 goes from here.

We're closing out our Side Quest Review for House of the Dragon Season 3, and a few final phrases from the finale really stuck with our hosts: “He Has Risen,” “I'm Alive,” and “You Are Ugly.” All coming from the divided House Targaryen. We got a bit of everything in this finale: a battle, betrayal, and a full-on crash out. Was Ormond's strategy justified? Did this season do enough to build up Ulf's finale decision and make it less shocking for the audience? And is Aegon now a bigger threat than ever?We get into all of it as we say goodbye to the dragons for the next two years.

The Geek Culture Congress crew goes deep into the House of the Dragon Season 2 finale, breaking down Episodes 7 and 8, the Tumbleton battle, Aegon and Sunfyre's return, Rhaenyra's increasingly ruthless leadership, Ulf's betrayal, Daemon, Aemond, Helaena and the future of the Blacks and Greens.

The third season of the fantasy drama television series House of the Dragon premiered on HBO on June 21, 2026, in the United States, and will consist of eight episodes. The season covers the events of the book Fire & Blood, a prequel novel in the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. The season follows in the aftermath of the second season's final episodes, in which the war known as the "Dance of Dragons" between Rhaenyra Targaryen and her half-brother Aegon II Targaryen continues, causing House Targaryen to become further divided. Aegon is supported by the Green Council and his mother Alicent Hightower, while Rhaenyra is supported by the Black Council and her husband and uncle Daemon Targaryen, both sides seeking allies from the great houses of Westeros and fighting for the support of their armies to claim their rightful positions to the Iron Throne.Hosted on Ausha.

Send us Fan MailWhat a way to end the season. This episode gave us what we wanted. We had a battle, there was fire, there was blood. The dragons were doing dragon sh*t. We had intrugue, traitorous behavior, and lots of deaths, including that of major characters. We now have Rhaenyra in full mad mode and we now have an uneasy alliance between Aegon and Aemond. And so much more....The way they ended this will definitely have you ready for season 4.#watchdemthrones #houseofthedragon #hbomax #blackwithnochaser #demthrones #demdragons

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Season 3 Finale Recap — “The Treasons at Tumbleton”The Dance of the Dragons reaches a devastating turning point in the Season 3 finale of House of the Dragon, “The Treasons at Tumbleton.”In this episode, we break down everything that happened in the finale, from the brutal Battle of Tumbleton and the shocking betrayal that changes the course of the war, to Rhaenyra's increasingly ruthless rule, Helaena's tragic fate, and the return of Aegon II and Sunfyre.FULL SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3 AND FIRE & BLOOD.We start with Tumbleton, where the forces of the Blacks and Greens finally collide. The battle quickly descends into chaos as dragonriders turn on one another and Ulf the White's betrayal completely changes the outcome. We'll break down the battle, Ormund Hightower's final stand, Roddy the Ruin's role, and the devastating consequences for both sides.We'll also examine some of the finale's biggest departures from George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood. The show has significantly altered the stories of Ulf the White and Hugh Hammer, changed the circumstances surrounding Tumbleton, and restructured several major characters and events. What do these changes tell us about where the series is ultimately headed?Rhaenyra's storyline takes an especially dark turn. As her desperation to win the war grows, so does her willingness to use fear and violence. Her confrontation with the High Septon and her claim to be the “Prince That Was Promised” raise major questions about Viserys' prophecy, Targaryen mythology, and how the show is connecting the Dance to the larger story of Game of Thrones.Then there's Helaena. Her death brings one of the season's most heartbreaking stories to a tragic conclusion while dramatically changing the future of the war. We'll examine her final moments, her prophetic visions, and the major changes the series has made to her story — particularly the decision to eliminate Maelor from the adaptation.Meanwhile, Aegon II finally returns alongside Sunfyre. Once thought to be a broken and defeated king, Aegon's reemergence completely changes the political landscape. His reunion with Aemond sets up what could be one of the most important conflicts of the final season, especially after everything that has happened between the brothers.And where does this leave Alicent? With Helaena gone, Aegon back, and Aemond increasingly consumed by the war, Alicent is more isolated than ever. We'll look at where her story could be heading and how her television arc continues to diverge from Fire & Blood.Finally, we look ahead to Season 4 — the final season of the series.With the Dance entering its endgame, we'll discuss the major events from Fire & Blood that could still be adapted, including the second Tumbleton, the remaining dragon battles, Daemon's ultimate fate, Rhaenyra and Aegon's final confrontation, and the eventual collapse of the Targaryen dynasty.We'll also examine the biggest changes the show has already made — including Daemon's involvement at Tumbleton and Rhaena taking the place of Nettles — and what those alterations could mean for the ending.Has House of the Dragon been building toward the same ending as the book, or are we heading toward something completely different?Join us for our complete Season 3 finale breakdown, our comparison with Fire & Blood, and our predictions for the final season of the Targaryen civil war.

Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed a live-action The Jetsons movie starring Jim Carrey on its Q2 2026 earnings call, and Frank breaks down why the casting is doing all the heavy lifting so far. A Jetsons reboot on its own would be an easy shrug. The Flintstones already ran that play in the 90s. What makes this one different is that Carrey is in the middle of a genuine second wind, coming off the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and heading into a Grinch remake.Frank makes the case that Warner Bros. has the tools to do something stranger than a straight adaptation. Barbie proved the studio will greenlight a meta take on a legacy property, and The Jetsons is sitting on an obvious hook: the retro-futurist world the show promised in 1962 is not the future anyone actually got. Pull George Jetson into the real 2026 and let him ask where his flying car went while he stares at a Roomba. That is a movie with a reason to exist beyond nostalgia.The segment closes with a look at the rest of the earnings call, which mostly reaffirmed titles already on the books. Aegon's Conquest from the Game of Thrones universe, the next Matrix installment, and the next Batman film all sit on the same post-2027 slate as The Jetsons.Solo segment, no guest on this one.0:00 Jim Carrey lands The Jetsons0:24 The Jim Carrey second wind, from Sonic to The Grinch0:40 What a Barbie-style meta approach could unlock0:58 Making a Jetsons movie worth watching1:11 Digging through the rest of the WB earnings callJim Carrey is attached to star in a live-action The Jetsons, presumably as George Jetson, confirmed on the Warner Bros.

Should Warner Bros. play it straight, or pull the Barbie move and let the film comment on itself? Who would you cast as Jane, Judy, and Elroy?

Ormund just sent Rhaenyra a message she can't ignore — and it came wrapped around Corlys Velaryon's finger. This is the episode where the Greens stop playing defense, and it costs the Blacks more than they know.

Asking women what they were wearing or weaponizing their personal histories to discredit them is a deliberate strategy to minimize corporate payoutsCherry picks one favorable moment: West quotes a single federal judge from a February trial who praised Uber's attorneys, saying they did not engage in "the slightest bit of shaming" and that he wanted it "clear on the record."one favorable quote from one judge in one specific trial: "Look, this one guy said we're nice, so the New York Times must be lying."Bullshits the bigger picture: “Uber was among the first companies to end forced arbitration and mandatory confidentiality agreements in matters involving sexual assault and sexual harassment”Yes, they ended individual forced arbitration, but they fought ruthlessly to ensure survivors still cannot form class-action lawsuits. Forcing victims to fight Uber one-on-one is a massive legal advantage for the companyLies about ESG data: “Uber was also the first—and continues to be one of the only—companies to voluntarily and consistently publish data on the reports of sexual assault”They published "safety data," but as the Times revealed, they hid hundreds of thousands of complaints by categorizing them as "unaudited" or "less serious."While Uber publicly reported a few thousand incidents, internal documents showed they received over 400,000 reports of sexual assault or misconduct between 2017 and 2022.Jefferies ESG chief says investors overstate SpaceX governance risksAniket Shah, Jefferies' global head of sustainability: Investors who avoid SpaceX because of Elon Musk's extraordinary control over the company may be letting governance concerns outweigh potential long-term returns"The idea that there's an — in quotes — acceptable form of good governance" is one that "I highly question," Shah said. "People who try to put governance into some kind of straight-jacket are too simple-minded and, frankly speaking, not looking at data."“Investors who rely on governance checklists alone risk overlooking companies capable of generating substantial long-term returns, particularly founder-led businesses that concentrate decision-making power in a single executive.”IN OR OUT on SpaceX?

Greetings, Nerds! Sarah and Will break down House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 7, "The Dragon in Winter" — and this episode gives us three huge storylines to dig into. First, the dragon fight. Rhaena is finally cornered by Daemon, Rhaenyra, and Addam on Sheepstealer, and we talk through why watching these dragons tear into each other hit so hard — Daemon's rare moment of vulnerability with his daughter, the size disadvantage that becomes brutally clear once the fighting starts, and what it means for Rhaenyra to learn the truth about who's been under that helmet all along. Then we head to Harrenhal for Alicent and Aemond's twisted reunion. We break down how Alicent slipped past Alys Rivers to get there, the deeply uncomfortable dinner scene, and the poisoned berries that follow — plus the big debate of the episode: did Aemond know his mother was poisoning him? We lay out the case for and against, from his "I tried to kill my brother too" confession right before drinking it, to Alys's suspicious "idiot" line that has us convinced she already has a cure ready. Finally, we close on the best scene of the season: Aegon's rally cry as Sunfyre rises from the trees. We talk through why this payoff works so well.

House of the Dragon is back... and after a divisive second season, Season 3 is finally bringing the fire! In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we break down the first four episodes of House of the Dragon Season 3, discussing the biggest battles, character arcs, political intrigue, dragon action, pacing, theories, and everything that has us excited for the rest of the season. While we had plenty of criticisms of Season 2, these opening episodes feel like a major step in the right direction. The story is moving, the battles are spectacular, and the Dance of the Dragons finally feels like it's building toward the epic conclusion we've been waiting for. FULL SPOILER DISCUSSION This episode contains full spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 3 Episodes 1-4. In This Episode We Discuss: Our full House of the Dragon Season 3 review Why Season 3 feels much stronger than Season 2 The incredible pacing of the opening episodes Massive battle sequences and dragon action The political maneuvering between rival factions Character motivations and shifting alliances Which characters impressed us the most Why some of the cast feels less complex than previous seasons Our favorite scenes and biggest surprises The strongest action set pieces so far What still isn't working Predictions and theories for the rest of Season 3 Who we think survives... and who probably won't One of our biggest takeaways is that House of the Dragon has recaptured much of the excitement that made us fall in love with this world. The first two episodes feature phenomenal pacing, outstanding action, and some of the biggest moments we've seen since the series began. That said, we don't think everything is perfect. While the spectacle has reached new heights, some of the characters don't feel quite as layered or emotionally compelling as they did in previous seasons. They're far from one-dimensional, but many of the personal conflicts and relationships haven't resonated with us as strongly as they once did. Even with those criticisms, we're having a fantastic time watching this season unfold. These first four episodes have us genuinely excited to see how the Dance of the Dragons reaches its conclusion, and we can't wait to see where the remaining episodes take Rhaenyra, Alicent, Daemon, Aegon, Aemond, Corlys, and the rest of Westeros. Whether you're a longtime Game of Thrones fan, a reader of Fire & Blood, or simply following HBO's biggest fantasy series, this episode is packed with in-depth analysis, theories, predictions, and spoiler-filled discussion.

SPOILER ALERT Criston Cole wanted a blaze-of-glory death song. Instead, he got arrows and immediate irrelevance. This week on Thumb War, we're breaking down House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 6: Faceless Man or The Butcher's Ball?, aka the episode Rachel correctly renames The Hubris and the Humbling. We get into the Butcher's Ball, Black Aly shutting Criston Cole up, Alicent and Helaena being absolutely terrible at escaping, Rhaenyra trying royal customer service and hating every second of it, Daemon badly hiding his extremely white hair under a helmet, and the mysterious “Faceless Man” who may just be some guy. Plus: Rhaena's missing Sheepstealer scene, Jeyne Arryn's Moon Door hobby, Mysaria getting ruthless, Corlys and Alyn's daddy issues, Aegon asking if he's a bad man, Tyland joining the world's funniest grave-digging trio, and Alice Rivers casually revealing five dragon eggs.

SPOILER ALERT Rhaenyra has the throne, but King's Landing has rats, unpaid guards, murdered gold cloaks, graffiti problems, rogue dragons, and one very tense small council. This week on Thumb War, we're breaking down House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 5: Unbowed and Unbent, aka the episode where nobody relents, nobody listens, and Daemon being right is somehow the most annoying development of all. We get into Criston Cole's guerrilla warfare era, Alice Rivers' Harrenhal magic, the black goat/Vhagar conspiracy, Aemond's haunted mommy issues, Alicent chugging the lie, Helaena standing up for herself, Larys absolutely roasting Aegon into self-reflection, and Rhaenyra's deeply chaotic approach to leadership. Also: cats, rats, Baby Bjorns, tap-on delivery, Queen of the Bastards, and municipal payroll crises. Full spoiler recap is up now.
