John Aaron, manager of the USA women's national under-19 and senior women's cricket teams and an adjunct lecturer of business at Kingsborough Community College, discusses the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, the first major International Cricket Association tournament on US soil.
What a start to the 2024 World Cup downhill season we've had! Fort William properly kicked things off with a gnarly track and insane racing, followed by a new venue in Poland that produced one of the best tracks and tightest races we've seen in years. Now, after a brief two-week pause, racing resumes this weekend in Leogang, Austria. A classic track that always delivers dramatic racing, there are exciting stories shaping up in each category that will be fun to watch play out over the weekend. Join Vital's own Jason Schroeder, ex-World Cup mechanic John Hall, and podcast co-host and contributing editor Tanner Stephens as they discuss who will contend for the win this weekend in each category, what makes the historic Leogang track so tricky, and highlight some potential dark horses who could mix things up come race day. 0:00 - Intro2:04 - Southwest Downhill Series this weekend 8:43 - Leogang venue & track analysis 13:33 - Is Leogang a bike park track? 17:48 - Why Leogang is so difficult in the wet20:17 - Breaking down the motorway section22:05 - John discusses Aaron Gwin's chainless win at Leogang in 2015 33:11 - A fan trying to sell John Aaron's broken chain for $3,000 38:25 - Weather report39:03 - Injured reserve list for this weekend 44:33 - Fantasy strategy49:10 - Junior Women race predictions57:28 - Junior Men race predictions1:04:15 - Elite Women predictions1:18:30 - Elite Men predictionsPlay Vital Downhill Fantasy - https://www.vitalmtb.com/fantasy More mountain bike news and reviews - https://www.vitalmtb.com
Project Apollo was a feat of human achievement akin to, and arguably greater than, the discovery of the New World. From 1962 to 1972, NASA conducted 17 crewed missions, six of which placed men on the surface of the moon. Since the Nixon administration put an end to Project Apollo, our extraterrestrial ambitions seem to have stalled along with our sense of national optimism. But is the American spirit of adventure, heroism, and willingness to take extraordinary risk a thing of the pastToday on the podcast, I talk with Charles Murray about what made Apollo extraordinary and whether we in the 21st century have the will to do extraordinary things. Murray is the co-author with Catherine Bly Cox of Apollo: The Race to the Moon, first published in 1989 and republished in 2004. He is also my colleague here at AEI.In This Episode* Going to the moon (1:35)* Support for the program (7:40)* Gene Kranz (9:31)* An Apollo 12 story (12:06)* An Apollo 11 story (17:58)* Apollo in the media (21:36)* Perspectives on space flight (24:50)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversationGoing to the moon (1:35)Pethokoukis: When I look at the delays with the new NASA go-to-the-moon rocket, and even if you look at the history of SpaceX and their current Starship project, these are not easy machines for mankind to build. And it seems to me that, going back to the 1960s, Apollo must have been at absolutely the far frontier of what humanity was capable of back then, and sometimes I cannot almost believe it worked. Were the Apollo people—the engineers—were they surprised it worked?Murray: There were a lot of people who, they first heard the Kennedy speech saying, “We want to go to the moon and bring a man safely back by the end of the decade,” they were aghast. I mean, come on! In 1961, when Kennedy made that speech, we had a grand total of 15 minutes of manned space flight under our belt with a red stone rocket with 78,000 pounds of thrust. Eight years and eight weeks later, about the same amount of time since Donald Trump was elected to now, we had landed on the moon with a rocket that had 7.6 million pounds of thrust, compared to the 78,000, and using technology that had had to be invented essentially from scratch, all in eight years. All of Cape Canaveral, those huge buildings down there, all that goes up during that time.Well, I'm not going to go through the whole list of things, but if you want to realize how incredibly hard to believe it is now that we did it, consider the computer system that we used to go to the moon. Jerry Bostick, who was one of the flight dynamics officers, was telling me a few months ago about how excited they were just before the first landing when they got an upgrade to their computer system for the whole Houston Center. It had one megabyte of memory, and this was, to them, all the memory they could ever possibly want. One megabyte.We'll never use it all! We'll never use all this, it's a luxury!So Jim, I guess I'm saying a couple of things. One is, to the young'ins out there today, you have no idea what we used to be able to do. We used to be able to work miracles, and it was those guys who did it.Was the Kennedy speech, was it at Rice University?No, “go to the moon” was before Congress.He gave another speech at Rice where he was started to list all the things that they needed to do to get to the moon. And it wasn't just, “We have these rockets and we need to make a bigger one,” but there was so many technologies that needed to be developed over the course of the decade, I can't help but think a president today saying, “We're going to do this and we have a laundry list of things we don't know how to do, but we're going to figure them out…” It would've been called pie-in-the-sky, or something like that.By the way, in order to do this, we did things which today would be unthinkable. You would have contracts for important equipment; the whole cycle for the contract acquisition process would be a matter of weeks. The request for proposals would go out; six weeks later, they would've gotten the proposals in, they would've made a decision, and they'd be spending the money on what they were going to do. That kind of thing doesn't get done.But I'll tell you though, the ballsiest thing that happened in the program, among the people on the ground — I mean the ballsiest thing of all was getting on top of that rocket and being blasted into space — but on the ground it was called the “all up” decision. “All up” refers to the testing of the Saturn V, the launch vehicle, this monstrous thing, which basically is standing a Navy destroyer on end and blasting it into space. And usually, historically, when you test those things, you test Stage One, and if that works, then you add the second stage and then you add the third stage. And the man who was running the Apollo program at that time, a guy named Miller, made the decision they were going to do All Up on the first test. They were going to have all three stages, and they were going to go with it, and it worked, which nobody believed was possible. And then after only a few more launches, they put a man on that thing and it went. Decisions were made during that program that were like wartime decisions in terms of the risk that people were willing to take.One thing that surprises me is just how much that Kennedy timeline seemed to drive things. Apollo seven, I think it was October '68, and that was the first manned flight? And then like two months later, Apollo 8, we are whipping those guys around the moon! That seems like a rather accelerated timeline to me!The decision to go to the moon on Apollo 8 was very scary to the people who first heard about it. And, by the way, if they'd had the same problem on Apollo 8 that they'd had on Apollo 13, the astronauts would've died, because on Apollo 8 you did not have the lunar module with them, which is how they got back. So they pulled it off, but it was genuinely, authentically risky. But, on the other hand, if they wanted to get to the moon by the end of 1969, that's the kind of chance you had to take.Support for the Program (7:40)How enthusiastic was the public that the program could have withstood another accident? Another accident before 11 that would've cost lives, or even been as scary as Apollo 13 — would we have said, let's not do it, or we're rushing this too much? I think about that a lot now because we talk about this new space age, I'm wondering how people today would react.In January, 1967, three astronauts were killed on the pad at Cape Canaveral when the spacecraft burned up on the ground. And the support for the program continued. But what's astonishing there is that they were flying again with manned vehicles in September 1967. . . No, it was a year and 10 months, basically, between this fire, this devastating fire, a complete redesign of the spacecraft, and they got up again.I think that it's fair to say that, through Apollo 11, the public was enthusiastic about the program. It's amazingly how quickly the interest fell off after the successful landing; so that by the time Apollo 13 was launched, the news programs were no longer covering it very carefully, until the accident occurred. And by the time of Apollo 16, 17, everybody was bored with the program.Speaking of Apollo 13, to what extent did that play a role in Nixon's decision to basically end the Apollo program, to cut its budget, to treat it like it was another program, ultimately, which led to its end? Did that affect Nixon's decision making, that close call, do you think?No. The public support for the program had waned, political support had waned. The Apollo 13 story energized people for a while in terms of interest, but it didn't play a role. Gene Kranz (9:31)500 years after Columbus discovering the New World, we talk about Columbus. And I would think that 500 years from now, we'll talk about Neil Armstrong. But will we also talk about Gene Kranz? Who is Gene Kranz and why should we talk about him 500 years from now?Gene Kranz, also known as General Savage within NASA, was a flight director and he was the man who was on the flight director's console when the accident on 13 occurred, by the way. But his main claim to fame is that he was one of — well, he was also on the flight director's desk when we landed. And what you have to understand, Jim, is the astronauts did not run these missions. I'm not dissing the astronauts, but all of the decisions . . . they couldn't make those decisions because they didn't have the information to make the decisions. These life-and-death decisions had to be made on the ground, and the flight director was the autocrat of the mission control, and not just the autocrat in terms of his power, he was also the guy who was going to get stuck with all the responsibility if there was a mistake. If they made a mistake that killed the astronauts, that flight director could count on testifying before Congressional committees and going down in history as an idiot.Somebody like Gene Kranz, and the other flight director, Glynn Lunney during that era, who was also on the controls during the Apollo 13 problems, they were in their mid-thirties, and they were running the show for one of the historic events in human civilization. They deserve to be remembered, and they have a chance to be, because I have written one thing in my life that people will still be reading 500 years from now — not very many people, but some will — and that's the book about Apollo that Catherine, my wife, and I wrote. And the reason I'm absolutely confident that they're going to be reading about it is because — historians, anyway, historians will — because of what you just said. There are wars that get forgotten, there are all sorts of events that get forgotten, but we remember the Trojan War, we remember Hastings, we remember Columbus discovering America. . . We will remember for a thousand years to come, let alone 500, the century in which we first left Earth. An Apollo 12 story (12:06)If you just give me a story or two that you'd like to tell about Apollo that maybe the average person may have never heard of, but you find . . . I'm sure there's a hundred of these. Is there one or two that you think the audience might find interesting?The only thing is it gets a little bit nerdy, but a lot about Apollo gets nerdy. On Apollo 12, the second mission, the launch vehicle lifts off and into the launch phase, about a minute in, it gets hit by lightning — twice. Huge bolts of lightning run through the entire spacecraft. This is not something it was designed for. And so they get up to orbit. All of the alarms are going off at once inside the cabin of the spacecraft. Nobody has the least idea what's happened because they don't know that they got hit by lightning, all they know is nothing is working.A man named John Aaron is sitting in the control room at the EECOM's desk, which is the acronym for the systems guide who monitored all the systems, including electrical systems, and he's looking at his console and he's seeing a weird pattern of numbers that makes no sense at all, and then he remembers 15 months earlier, he'd just been watching the monitor during a test at Cape Canaveral, he wasn't even supposed to be following this launch test, he was just doing it to keep his hand in, and so forth, and something happened whereby there was a strange pattern of numbers that appeared on John Aaron's screen then. And so he called Cape Canaveral and said, what happened? Because I've never seen that before. And finally the Cape admitted that somebody had accidentally turned a switch called the SCE switch off.Okay, so here is John Aaron. Apollo 12 has gone completely haywire. The spacecraft is not under the control of the astronauts, they don't know what's happened. Everybody's trying to figure out what to do.John Aaron remembers . . . I'm starting to get choked up just because that he could do that at a moment of such incredible stress. And he just says to the flight director, “Try turning SCE to auxiliary.” And the flight director had never even heard of SCE, but he just . . . Trust made that whole system run. He passes that on to the crew. The crew turns that switch, and, all at once, they get interpretable data back again.That's the first part of the story. That was an absolutely heroic call of extraordinary ability for him to do that. The second thing that happens at that point is they have completely lost their guidance platform, so they have to get that backup from scratch, and they've also had this gigantic volts of electricity that's run through every system in the spacecraft and they have three orbits of the earth before they have to have what was called trans lunar injection: go onto the moon. That's a couple of hours' worth.Well, what is the safe thing to do? The safe thing to do is: “This is not the right time to go to the moon with a spacecraft that's been damaged this way.” These guys at mission control run through a whole series of checks that they're sort of making up on the fly because they've never encountered this situation before, and everything seems to check out. And so, at the end of a couple of orbits, they just say, “We're going to go to the moon.” And the flight director can make that decision. Catherine and I spent a lot of time trying to track down the anguished calls going back and forth from Washington to Houston, and by the higher ups, “Should we do this?” There were none. The flight director said, “We're going,” and they went. To me, that is an example of a kind of spirit of adventure, for lack of a better word, that was extraordinary. Decisions made by guys in their thirties that were just accepted as, “This is what we're going to do.”By the way, Gene Kranz, I was interviewing him for the book, and I was raising this story with him. (This will conclude my monologue.) I was raising this story with him and I was saying, “Just extraordinary that you could make that decision.” And he said, “No, not really. We checked it out. The spacecraft looked like it was good.” This was only a year or two after the Challenger disaster that I was conducting this interview. And I said to Gene, “Gene, if we had a similar kind of thing happen today, would NASA ever permit that decision to be made?” And Gene glared at me. And believe me, when Gene Kranz glares at you, you quail at your seat. And then he broke into laughter because there was not a chance in hell that the NASA of 1988 would do what the NASA of 1969 did.An Apollo 11 story (17:58)If all you know about Apollo 11 is what you learned in high school, or maybe you saw a documentary somewhere, and — just because I've heard you speak before, and I've heard Gene Kranz speak—what don't people know about Apollo 11? There were — I imagine with all these flights — a lot of decisions that needed to be made probably with not a lot of time, encountering new situations — after all, no one had done this before. Whereas, I think if you just watch a news report, you think that once the rocket's up in the air, the next thing that happens is Neil Armstrong lands it on the moon and everyone's just kind of on cruise control for the next couple of days, and boy, it certainly doesn't seem like that.For those of us who were listening to the landing, and I'm old enough to have done that, there was a little thing called—because you could listen to the last few minutes, you could listen to what was going on between the spacecraft and mission control, and you hear Buzz Aldrin say, “Program Alarm 1301 . . . Program Alarm 1301 . . .” and you can't… well, you can reconstruct it later, and there's about a seven-second delay between him saying that and a voice saying, “We're a go on that.” That seven seconds, you had a person in the back room that was supporting, who then informed this 26-year-old flight controller that they had looked at that possibility and they could still land despite it. The 26-year-old had to trust the guy in the back room because the 26-year-old didn't know, himself, that that was the case. He trusts him, he tells the flight director Gene Kranz, and they say, “Go.” Again: Decision made in seven seconds. Life and death. Taking a risk instead of taking the safe way out.Sometimes I think that that risk-taking ethos didn't end with Apollo, but maybe, in some ways, it hasn't been as strong since. Is there a scenario where we fly those canceled Apollo flights that we never flew, and then, I know there were other plans of what to do after Apollo, which we didn't do. Is there a scenario where the space race doesn't end, we keep racing? Even if we're only really racing against ourselves.I mean we've got . . . it's Artemis, right? That's the new launch vehicle that we're going to go back to the moon in, and there are these plans that somehow seem to never get done at the time they're supposed to get done, but I imagine we will have some similar kind of flights going on. It's very hard to see a sustained effort at this point. It's very hard to see grandiose effort at this point. The argument of, “Why are we spending all this money on manned space flight?” in one sense, I sympathize with because it is true that most of the things we do could be done by instruments, could be done by drones, we don't actually have to be there. On the other hand, unless we're willing to spread our wings and raise our aspirations again, we're just going to be stuck for a long time without making much more progress. So I guess what I'm edging around to is, in this era, in this ethos, I don't see much happening done by the government. The Elon Musks of the world may get us to places that the government wouldn't ever go. That's my most realistic hope.Apollo in the Media (21:36)If I could just give you a couple of films about the space program and you just… thought you liked it, you thought it captured something, or you thought it was way off, just let just shoot a couple at you. The obvious one is The Right Stuff—based on the Tom Wolfe book, of course.The Right Stuff was very accurate about the astronauts' mentality. It was very inaccurate about the relationship between the engineers and the astronauts. It presents the engineers as constantly getting the astronauts way, and being kind of doofuses. That was unfair. But if you want to understand how the astronauts worked, great movieApollo 13, perhaps the most well-known.Extremely accurate. Extremely accurate portrayal of the events. There are certain things I wish they could include, but it's just a movie, so they couldn't include everything. The only real inaccuracy that bothered me was it showed the consoles of the flight controllers with colored graphics on them. They didn't have colored graphics during Apollo! They had columns of white numbers on a black background that were just kind of scrolling through and changing all the time, and that's all. But apparently, when their technical advisor pointed that out to Ron Howard, Ron said, “There are some things that an audience just won't accept, but they would not accept.”That was the leap! First Man with Ryan Gosling portraying Neil Armstrong.I'll tell you: First place, good movie—Excellent, I think.Yeah, and the people who knew Armstrong say to me, it's pretty good at capturing Armstrong, who himself was a very impressive guy. This conceit in the movie that he has this little trinket he drops on the moon, that was completely made up and it's not true to life. But I'll tell you what they tell me was true to life that surprised me was how violently they were shaken up during the launch phase. And I said, “Is that the way it was, routinely?” And they said, yeah, it was a very rough ride that those guys had. And the movie does an excellent job of conveying something that somebody who'd spent a lot of time studying the Apollo program didn't know.I don't know if you've seen the Apple series For All Mankind by Ronald D. Moore, which is based on the premise I raised earlier that Apollo didn't end, we just kept up the Space Race and we kept advancing off to building moon colonies and off to Mars. Have you seen that? And what do you think about it if you have? I don't know that you have.I did not watch it. I have a problem with a lot of these things because I have my own image of the Apollo Program, and it drives me nuts if somebody does something that is egregiously wrong. I went to see Apollo 13 and I'm glad I did it because it was so accurate, but I probably should look at For All Mankind.Very reverential. A very pro-space show, to be sure. Have you seen the Apollo 11 documentary that's come out in the past five years? It was on the big screen, it was at theaters, it was a lot of footage they had people had not seen before, they found some old canisters somewhere of film. I don't know if you've seen this. I think it's just called Apollo 11.No, I haven't seen that. That sounds like something that I ought to look at.Perspectives on space flight (24:50)My listeners love when I read . . . Because you mentioned the idea of: Why do we go to space? If it's merely about exploration, I suppose we could just send robots and maybe eventually the robots will get better. So I want to just briefly read two different views of why we go to space.Why should human beings explore space? Because space offers transcendence from which only human beings can benefit. The James Webb Space Telescope cannot articulate awe. A robot cannot go into the deep and come back with soulful renewal. To fully appreciate space, we need people to go there and embrace it for what it fully is. Space is not merely for humans, nor is space merely for space. Space is for divine communion.That's one view.The second one is from Ayn Rand, who attended the Apollo 11 moon launch. This is what Ayn Rand wrote in 1969:The next four days were torn out of the world's usual context, like a breathing spell with a sweep of clean air piercing mankind's lethargic suffocation. For thirty years or longer, the newspapers had featured nothing but disasters, catastrophes, betrayals, the shrinking stature of man, the sordid mess of a collapsing civilization; their voice had become a long, sustained whine, the megaphone a failure, like the sound of the Oriental bazaar where leprous beggars, of spirit or matter, compete for attention by displaying their sores. Now, for once, the newspapers were announcing a human achievement, were reporting on a human triumph, were reminding us that man still exists and functions as a man. Those four days conveyed the sense that we were watching a magnificent work of art—a play dramatizing a single theme: the efficacy of man's mind.Is the answer for why we go to space, can it be found in either of those readings?They're going to be found in both. I am a sucker for heroism, whether it's in war or in any other arena, and space offers a kind of celebration of the human spirit that is only found in endeavors that involve both great effort and also great risk. And the other aspect of transcendence, I'm also a sucker for saying the world is not only more complicated than we know, but more complicated than we can imagine. The universe is more complicated than we can imagine. And I resonate to the sentiment in the first quote.Faster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Apollo 12 was the sixth crewed flight in the United States Apollo program and the second to land on the Moon. It was launched on November 14, 1969. Apollo 12 launched on schedule from Kennedy Space Center, under completely overcast rainy skies, encountering wind speeds of 174.6 mph during ascent, the highest of any Apollo mission. Lightning struck the Saturn V rocket 36.5 seconds after lift-off, triggered by the vehicle itself, discharging down to the Earth through the ionized exhaust plume. Protective circuits detected overloads and took all three fuel cells offline, along with much of the command service module or CSM instrumentation. A second strike at 52 seconds knocked out more equipment. However, the Saturn V continued to fly normally; the strikes had not affected the guidance system, which functions independently from the CSM. The loss of all three fuel cells put the CSM entirely on batteries, which were unable to maintain normal 75-ampere launch loads on the 28-volt DC bus. These power supply problems lit nearly every warning light on the control panel and caused much of the instrumentation to malfunction. Electrical manager John Aaron remembered the telemetry failure pattern from an earlier test when a power supply malfunctioned in the CSM signal conditioning electronics which converted raw signals from instrumentation to standard voltages for the spacecraft instrument displays and telemetry encoders. Aaron made a call which switched the SCE to a backup power supply. The switch was fairly obscure, but Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean, flying in the right seat as the spacecraft systems engineer, remembered the SCE switch from a training incident a year earlier when the same failure had been simulated. Aaron's quick thinking and Bean's memory saved the mission. Bean put the fuel cells back on line, and with telemetry restored, the launch continued successfully. The lightning strikes had caused no serious permanent damage. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

My first podcast encounter with the beloved 2 Guys, 1 Canuck podcasting trio Mike, John & Aaron lends itself to four times the laughter as a result. Our subject: finding the merit of various sitcoms (good or bad). I trimmed it down slightly so that we could keep it a tad more organized (even though they are the masters of random bemusing). Along the way, we also talk about other wacky celebrities and ego-headed celebrities.

00:03:23,989 --> 00:03:30,980 took from the email here is that and I 71 00:03:27,409 --> 00:03:33,079 replied to her but she pointed out that 72 00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:34,459 a few quite a few episodes back I think 73 00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:36,500 at this point but I don't actually 74 00:03:34,459 --> 00:03:40,720 remember exactly what episode it was I 75 00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:46,010 had referred to Arya as a Gryffindor 76 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:47,720 shame on me I think that she cuz gg you 77 00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:50,239 know definitely said she's sly and 78 00:03:47,720 -->

00:03:53,989 --> 00:03:59,090 heroic intentions and so while I think 82 00:03:56,299 --> 00:04:01,790 to an extent that's true but I 83 00:03:59,090 --> 00:04:04,040 definitely feel as though she she 84 00:04:01,790 --> 00:04:07,340 encompasses the Slytherin better yeah 85 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:10,280 yeah cuz she she does you know she's 86 00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:12,739 very loyal to her her

which is much more Gryffindor quality so 90 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,990 you're right I stand corrected gg 91 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,750 otherwise there was just some stuff 92 00:04:23,990 -->

00:06:18,269 --> 00:06:24,120 the training yard here maybe it was pip 138 00:06:21,779 --> 00:06:26,099 actually it was Darren Oh was there in 139 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,339 here seven gods would you look at this 140 00:06:26,099 --> 00:06:31,769 John his he points out Samwell Tarly as 141 00:06:29,339 --> 00:06:34,289 we don't quite his name yet but John 142 00:06:31,769 --> 00:06:37,139 through the eye slits of his helm John 143 00:06:34,289 --> 00:06:38,519 sees the fattest boy he had ever seen by 144 00:06:37,139 --> 00:06:40,769 the look of him he must have weighed 145 00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:42,899 about twenty stone which for those who 146 00:06:40,769 --> 00:06:45,269 don't know a stone is about fourteen 147 00:06:42,899 --> 00:06:46,769 pounds a so he looks like he's about two 148 00:06:45,269 --> 00:06:49,529 hundred and eighty pounds almost 300 149 00:06:46,769 --> 00:06:52,259 pounds okay which I mean that's a dude I 150 00:06:49,529 --> 00:06:54,430 don't it's pretty unfortunate that in 151 00:06:52,259 --> 00:06:56,950 today's day and age at 280 pounds 152 00:06:54,430 --> 00:06:58,990 while it's big isn't exactly the fattest 153 00:06:56,950 --> 00:07:02,830 person I've ever seen by any stretch of 154 00:06:58,990 --> 00:07:06,130 the matter for his age I'm assuming he's 155 00:07:02,830 --> 00:07:07,390 like 16 or 17 isn't he now is he I think 156 00:07:06,130 --> 00:07:09,220 he was a bit older because it was like 157 00:07:07,390 --> 00:07:10,900 his 50 might be a little over something 158 00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:12,940 yeah I think

00:19:18,730 Samwell Tarly and oddly Tyrion Lannister 463 00:19:16,510 --> 00:19:21,310 and he wonders what Tyrion would make a 464 00:19:18,730 --> 00:19:23,650 Sam and then he thinks of Tyrians quote 465 00:19:21,310 --> 00:19:25,800 most men would rather deny a hard truth 466 00:19:23,650 --> 00:19:29,410 than face it and that's when John 467 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:31,900 decides that you

the top of the wall 527 00:21:49,509 --> 00:21:53,860 which I imagine it's just a fucking 528 00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:55,629 sight to see man and then he descends 529 00:21:53,860 --> 00:21:57,070 down

traveled with mummers so 538 00:22:11,019 --> 00:22:12,970 it makes sense that he's pretty good 539 00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:14,769 storytelling 540 00:22:12,970 --> 00:22:16,269 John doesn't go and join them and it's 541 00:22:14,769 --> 00:22:18,580 in goes to the other end of the bench 542 00:22:16,269 --> 00:22:20,740 where Sam was sitting alone and Sam's 543 00:22:18,580 --> 00:22:22,440 eyes widen as ghosts and him walk up and 544 00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:25,110 he asks if it's a wolf and John 545 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:28,730 says bitch it's a dialogue get astray 546 00:22:25,110 -->

549 00:22:34,409 --> 00:22:40,080 his head to - scared you know talking 550 00:22:37,409 --> 00:22:42,360 and I think John guesses it right here 551 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,679 that it's in this room you know there's 552 00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:46,049 a lot of people that could hear and 553 00:22:43,679 --> 00:22:47,519 laugh and yeah so John success they go 554 00:22:46,049 --> 00:22:49,200 outside and Sam gets a little suspicious 555 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:52,080 and says why and John says so we can 556 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,970 talk and you know - what there's a wall 557 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,679 out there have you seen it and Sam says 558 00:22:53,970 --> 00:22:57,870 I'm fat I'm not blind 559 00:22:55,679 --> 00:23:00,299 but so he throws his cloak on and they 560 00:22:57,870 --> 00:23:03,360 head outside and they go out and they 561 00:23:00,299 --> 00:23:06,149 they talk about the cold and Sam admits 562 00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:08,460 that he's never seen snow so the real 563 00:23:06,149 --> 00:23:10,049 cool thing is that John had these same 564 00:23:08,460 --> 00:23:12,899 feelings because he really mentions how 565 00:23:10,049 --> 00:23:15,360 he wasn't expecting it to be this cold 566 00:23:12,899 --> 00:23:17,970 yeah and neither did John and John's 567 00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:19,529 used to the cold so like for poor Sam 568 00:23:17,970 --> 00:23:22,230 Tarly it's like going from fucking 569 00:23:19,529 --> 00:23:24,960 Florida to the very top of fucking 570 00:23:22,230 --> 00:23:27,210 Canada like you've got this nice warm 571

00:23:59,730 how he had never seen snow until about a 583 00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:01,080 month ago so it's all terrifying to him 584 00:23:59,730 --> 00:24:02,580 and then he says that he's worried about 585 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,740 going to the top of the wall he doesn't 586 00:24:02,580 --> 00:24:06,299 much like high places and this ends up 587 00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:08,460 being the

00:24:51,040 and then Jon Snow begins laughing with 605 00:24:48,340 --> 00:24:52,750 him and John starts telling them about 606 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,240 how they found the wolves and then soon 607 00:24:52,750 --> 00:24:57,460 enough he's talking of Winterfell and he 608 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,470 says that sometimes I dream about it in 609 00:24:57,460 --> 00:25:03,820 the in these

--> 00:25:35,910 letting you finish where you were at he 624 00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:39,070 mentions the stables and the and the 625 00:25:35,910 --> 00:25:41,620 stables being full oh yeah yeah yeah

John shakes his head and 629 00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:50,560 says that the castle is always empty and 630 00:25:46,860 --> 00:25:53,170 he doesn't know why he's opening up to 631 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:56,110 Sam about this but god damn it feels 632 00:25:53,170 --> 00:25:57,640 good to tell somebody about this even 633 00:25:56,110 --> 00:25:59,950 though there really isn't anything and 634 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,680 yeah he mentions that the Ravens are 635 00:25:59,950 --> 00:26:05,260 gone and then that he you know the birds 636 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:09,610 are gone the who gets to the stables and 637 00:26:05,260 --> 00:26:11,740 it's just full of bones and for some 638 00:26:09,610 --> 00:26:13,240 reason when that line came at me that 639 00:26:11,740 --> 00:26:16,780 the first thing that jumped into my mind 640 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:20,470 and granted it is most likely 100% 641 00:26:16,780 --> 00:26:23,740 completely unrelated but it was there 642 00:26:20,470 --> 00:26:25,480 Mayer six skins yeah and rattle rattle 643 00:26:23,740 --> 00:26:28,240 sure yeah there cuz he's talking about 644 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,790 the birds and the stables and piles of 645 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,560 bones in this it just seemed kind of 646 00:26:30,790 --> 00:26:33,970 like this almost like it could 647 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,190 potentially be this foreshadowing for 648 00:26:33,970 --> 00:26:38,920 some of the other people he might be 649 00:26:36,190 --> 00:26:41,290 meeting yeah yeah but I don't have any 650 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,360 evidence oh yeah I had I just happened 651 00:26:41,290 --> 00:26:45,280 to pop into my head right then so I just 652 00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:47,380 wrote it down and John oh and he says 653 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,340 that that that always scares him when he 654 00:26:47,380 --> 00:26:50,770 sees the stable 655 00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:53,350 bones and then he finds himself at the 656 00:26:50,770 --> 00:26:55,030 the entranceway to the crypts and he 657 00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:57,700 says somehow I know I have to go down 658 00:26:55,030 --> 00:27:01,330 there but I don't want to I'm afraid of 659 00:26:57,700 --> 00:27:03,310 what's waiting for me and so he screams 660 00:27:01,330 --> 00:27:06,010 that he's not a stark and that this 661 00:27:03,310 --> 00:27:08,800 isn't his place but you know said he has 662 00:27:06,010 --> 00:27:11,590 to go anyway and he does he starts down 663 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:14,380 and he feel he's feeling the walls until 664 00:27:11,590 --> 00:27:16,300 it gets darker and darker until he just 665 00:27:14,380 --> 00:27:18,100 wants to scream and that's when he 666 00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:20,200 always wakes up and that's pretty 667 00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:23,140 terrifying fucking dream yeah man that's 668 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:27,160 that's creepy as shit cuz I mean it says 669 00:27:23,140 --> 00:27:30,130 again that he's not

chat so I just 703 00:28:57,430 --> 00:29:02,200 thought well speaking of Danny I just 704 00:29:00,250 --> 00:29:03,999 thought of course it didn't 705 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:08,679 like the dragons weren't born yet 706 00:29:03,999 --> 00:29:10,690 there's no magic sense actually I don't 707 00:29:08,679 --> 00:29:13,139 know why but as soon as like what the 708 00:29:10,690 --> 00:29:16,090 white wires or the others are a 709 00:29:13,139 --> 00:29:20,230 different set of yeah let's be honest 710 00:29:16,090 --> 00:29:22,809 here so he says that finally after three 711 00:29:20,230 --> 00:29:24,909 girls in three years lady Tarly gave 712 00:29:22,809 --> 00:29:27,820 birth to another son and Sam was fucking 713 00:29:24,909 --> 00:29:30,190 forgotten yeah but when it was peaceful 714 00:29:27,820 --> 00:29:32,710 and Sam enjoyed it until his 15th year 715 00:29:30,190 --> 00:29:34,600 right name day but where he awakened to 716 00:29:32,710 --> 00:29:36,210 his horse was saddled and ready and he 717 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:42,190 was escorted to his father who was 718 00:29:36,210 --> 00:29:43,929 skinning a deer yo so I never made the 719 00:29:42,190 --> 00:29:46,119 connection - this is how they got the 720 00:29:43,929 --> 00:29:50,249 introduction in the television show for 721 00:29:46,119 --> 00:29:52,239 ty winds a little part with Jamie and 722 00:29:50,249 --> 00:29:54,340 God that's cool though that it's 723 00:29:52,239 --> 00:29:57,509 actually randyll Tarly yeah Sam and 724 00:29:54,340 --> 00:29:59,710 that's because that you know in the show 725 00:29:57,509 --> 00:30:01,480 Tywin is skinning the deer when Jaime 726 00:29:59,710 --> 00:30:03,489 Jaime first oh yeah the first time we 727 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,999 meet Tywin I think yes and it's with 728 00:30:03,489 --> 00:30:07,600 Jaime 729 00:30:03,999 --> 00:30:09,580 but with Samwell he's he's disgusted by 730 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,470 the death and yeah there's some stuff of 731 00:30:09,580 --> 00:30:14,169 hunting and the skinning of the day like 732 00:30:11,470 --> 00:30:16,899 that's unbelievably unsettling for him 733 00:30:14,169 --> 00:30:18,850 and so it just paints this way darker 734 00:30:16,899 --> 00:30:20,919 picture of randyll Tarly then and 735 00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:23,649 granted that was very powerful scene in 736 00:30:20,919 --> 00:30:26,739 the show with Tywin doing the skins yeah 737 00:30:23,649 --> 00:30:28,600 stuff but like fucking Martin did it so 738 00:30:26,739 --> 00:30:30,820 much better with randyll Tarly yes it's 739 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:34,179 like it's just a much more savage way 740 00:30:30,820 --> 00:30:36,879 because Sam's that soft plumped gentle 741 00:30:34,179 --> 00:30:39,159 kid being escorted in the middle of the 742 00:30:36,879 --> 00:30:41,710 fucking morning out to the woods where 743 00:30:39,159 --> 00:30:44,679 this man is skinning an animal in front 744 00:30:41,710 --> 00:30:47,070 of him threatening him saying you can 745 00:30:44,679 --> 00:30:50,049 you can either join the Nights Watch or 746 00:30:47,070 --> 00:30:52,090 you can get fucking killed cuz you're 747 00:30:50,049 --> 00:30:54,669 going on a hunt with us and I will kill 748 00:30:52,090 --> 00:30:56,710 you yeah I will myself your father 749 00:30:54,669 --> 00:30:58,239 fucking killing I'll tell your mother 750 00:30:56,710 --> 00:31:00,669 you were thrown from your saddle to die 751 00:30:58,239 --> 00:31:02,710 she is a kind woman and I have no wish 752 00:31:00,669 --> 00:31:04,539 to cause her pain but nothing would 753 00:31:02,710 --> 00:31:07,419 please me more than to hunt you down 754 00:31:04,539 --> 00:31:10,029 like the pig that you are the choice is 755 00:31:07,419 --> 00:31:11,349 yours the Nights Watch or he holds up 756 00:31:10,029 --> 00:31:12,610 the the dear heart 757 00:31:11,349 --> 00:31:15,399 or this 758 00:31:12,610 --> 00:31:18,640 and he sang that to his son yeah man and 759 00:31:15,399 --> 00:31:20,590 John notes that oddly Sam doesn't cry at 760 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,440 all during the telling of this story I 761 00:31:20,590 --> 00:31:24,909 think that's a sign of how much Sam has 762 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,740 hardened tortoise I think that's some 763 00:31:24,909 --> 00:31:30,130 steely resolve that's gonna really point 764 00:31:26,740 --> 00:31:31,480 to the arc that he's expected to to be 765 00:31:30,130 --> 00:31:33,519 going through for throughout the series 766 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,740 that he's got this you know I dealt with 767 00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:38,019 this savagery from my father for years 768 00:31:35,740 --> 00:31:38,980 and years and years it's the one thing 769 00:31:38,019 --> 00:31:40,029 that doesn't bother me 770 00:31:38,980 --> 00:31:41,830 yeah I mean everyone's got their 771 00:31:40,029 --> 00:31:43,840 shipment like Sam is hardened in a 772 00:31:41,830 --> 00:31:45,700 different way due to the beauty at his 773 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,649 father's hands so John suggests heading 774 00:31:45,700 --> 00:31:50,380 in for some hot cider and some singing 775 00:31:47,649 --> 00:31:52,090 and Sam's face is troubled again and he 776 00:31:50,380 --> 00:31:54,070 asks he's going to make me fight again 777 00:31:52,090 --> 00:31:56,409 tomorrow isn't he and John says yeah he 778 00:31:54,070 --> 00:31:56,649 is and so Sam says now I better get some 779 00:31:56,409 --> 00:31:59,169 sleep 780 00:31:56,649 --> 00:32:01,090 then and he heads off yeah so John 781 00:31:59,169 -->

00:05:37,789 was necessary to note that that he 142 00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:39,650 doesn't like the wine because it messes 143 00:05:37,789 --> 00:05:41,449 with his digestion just so that I can 144 00:05:39,650 --> 00:05:44,060 keep an eye out if we spot him fucking 145 00:05:41,449 --> 00:05:47,090 sipping and someone he's alive rock yaks 146 00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:48,680 fuck pycelle Ned no

like swords I do fear the old 178 00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:55,699 ones go to rust which made me think of 179 00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:56,469 Tyrians that me to my mind it's like a 180 00:06:55,699 --> 00:06:58,789 whetstone 181 00:06:56,469 --> 00:06:59,730 vodka sword it needs a whetstone the 182 00:06:58,789 --> 00:07:01,800 lips 183 00:06:59,730 --> 00:07:03,090 and so the servant girl comes

00:07:17,580 himself for quite some time but pycelle 190 00:07:15,750 --> 00:07:19,230 had chalked it up to the burdens of his 191 00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:22,020 duties handed the king he's got a lot of 192 00:07:19,230 --> 00:07:25,440 worries conveys concern about his very 193 00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:27,390 sickly son and his overly anxious wife 194 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,490 so yeah Lord Aaron had a lot of shit on 195 00:07:27,390 --> 00:07:33,360 his plate so I noted the overly anxious 196 00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:36,480 wife things yeah because I feel as 197 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,210 though her being anxious we we know why 198 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,820 you know and as we are again a full 199 00:07:39,210 --> 00:07:44,220 spoiler reread podcast we know that she 200

she's the one 203 00:07:47,370 --> 00:07:51,810 that tipped the poison in yeah and so 204 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,950 she has reason to be anxious and it's 205 00:07:51,810 --> 00:07:56,040 kind of cool that we're getting this 206 00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:58,350 glimpse right here that she was anxious 207 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,390 around him for quite some time while 208 00:07:58,350 --> 00:08:02,910 he's doing these things when really 209 00:08:00,390 --> 00:08:05,370 they're almost unrelated he's he's 210 00:08:02,910 --> 00:08:08,130 looking into the Lannisters whereas 211 00:08:05,370 --> 00:08:10,290 she's with Littlefinger just nervous 212 00:08:08,130 --> 00:08:14,730 about being caught right yeah 213 00:08:10,290 --> 00:08:17,820 so Ned asks about the final illness that 214 00:08:14,730 --> 00:08:19,590 struck Jon Arryn and pycelle says that 215 00:08:17,820 --> 00:08:22,170 he came to me one day seeking a certain 216 00:08:19,590 --> 00:08:23,580 book Hale and healthy as ever though it 217 00:08:22,170 --> 00:08:26,160 did seem as if something was troubling 218 00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:28,290 him which is interesting Jon Arryn is 219 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,510 obviously at this point looking into the 220 00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:33,360 the lineage he has some suspicions about 221 00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:36,060 definitely has Prince the prompt and 222 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,979 preset princesses are the princes he was 223 00:08:36,060 --> 00:08:39,960 tipped off about something or just kind 224 00:08:37,979 --> 00:08:42,060 of clicked for him and well like I 225 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,680 actually I've never really thought much 226 00:08:42,060 --> 00:08:45,990 on this chapter we're about Jon Arryn 227 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:47,580 really and all in this book reading 228 00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:49,820 through previously this time I actually 229 00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:52,890 sat down and thought through who knows 230 00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:55,530 Robert Baratheon in this world besides 231 00:08:52,890 --> 00:08:57,150 Ned Stark better than Jon Arryn so I 232 00:08:55,530 --> 00:08:59,610 could almost just see it being like 233 00:08:57,150 --> 00:09:01,740 these kids are not fucking Roberts like 234 00:08:59,610 --> 00:09:03,720 they're not acting how Robert acted when 235 00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:06,330 he was this age I would know I fostered 236 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,250 them yeah he they have no looks of 237 00:09:06,330 --> 00:09:10,320 Robert so I think Jon Arryn is just 238 00:09:08,250 --> 00:09:13,110 maybe pretty sharp him and Stannis I do 239 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:16,470 believe right sort of spoke about it 240 00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:19,440 Santa's bounced and I correct me if I'm 241 00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:21,360 wrong listeners but I do believe that we 242 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,180 get words later that Stannis was told by 243 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,160 John Aron about this this conundrum yeah 244 00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:28,650 I'm pretty sure that's a and so yeah I 245 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,450 think it was John I think Lord Aaron is 246 00:09:28,650 --> 00:09:32,070 just pretty pretty sharp he came to 247 00:09:30,450 --> 00:09:34,350 conclude but the next morning he was 248 00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:37,050 twisted over in pain too sick to rise 249 00:09:34,350 --> 00:09:39,360 from his bed when he continued to weaken 250 00:09:37,050 --> 00:09:41,580 that pycelle went to see him himself but 251 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,550 he says the gods did not grant me the 252 00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:47,580 power to save him which one yoram a sir 253 00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:49,230 so like I would think that's the the 254 00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:51,690 science versus the faith type thing yeah 255 00:09:49,230 --> 00:09:54,600 and then to fuck off pycelle you didn't 256 00:09:51,690 --> 00:09:57,180 want him to live anyway but Ned says 257 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,160 that I heard you had sent maester 258 00:09:57,180 --> 00:10:02,670 Coleman away when you went to visit him 259 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:05,400 and pycelle says I did indeed I respect 260 00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:08,430 his abilities and the the way he can do 261 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,110 things but he's young and he even says 262 00:10:08,430 --> 00:10:12,630 that lady Lysa will never forgive me 263 00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:14,460 that and he says maybe I was wrong but 264 00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:16,380 at the time I thought it best again that 265 00:10:14,460 --> 00:10:19,290 little line there about Lee so makes me 266 00:10:16,380 --> 00:10:19,830 wonder if Meister Coleman's nodding on 267 00:10:19,290 --> 00:10:21,630 it also 268 00:10:19,830 --> 00:10:23,040 that could be it was I don't think 269 00:10:21,630 --> 00:10:24,660 pycelle had anything to do with John 270 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,210 Aaron's death he's cuz you know it's not 271 00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:30,600 Lannister related and he's under Circe's 272 00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:33,300 thumb yeah and I think that she's 273 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,010 furious because he was trying to you 274 00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:38,190 know flush him say you know you don't 275 00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:40,140 think do you think and again I can only 276 00:10:38,190 --> 00:10:41,670 really think of the show right now um I 277 00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:44,790 can't remember in the books you don't 278 00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:46,320 think that pycelle let Jon Arryn died 279 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:48,630 and didn't actually try his best to 280 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,250 treat him well so that was the because I 281 00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:53,130 when I was reading through I saw that 282 00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:55,830 she was mad about that but was that 283 00:10:53,130 --> 00:10:57,780 pretend mad where he was actually coming 284 00:10:55,830 --> 00:10:59,550 well like sigh I think that sort of I 285 00:10:57,780 --> 00:11:01,530 think that's the beauty of it is Lysa 286 00:10:59,550 --> 00:11:03,720 got pissed because she wanted Coleman to 287 00:11:01,530 --> 00:11:05,130 sort of finish the job pycelle came in 288 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,840 and sort of did the same thing but she 289 00:11:05,130 --> 00:11:09,320 doesn't know that was I 290 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,880 yeah he's under the Lannister thumb and 291 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,230 so I don't I don't know who would give 292 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,590 the order cuz I don't believe at this 293 00:11:13,230 --> 00:11:18,480 point he put Cersei even near Tywin 294 00:11:16,590 --> 00:11:19,800 so he would listen to Tywin over Cersei 295 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,570 I don't know if he would listen to 296 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,280 Cersei but she is the queen so he might 297 00:11:21,570 --> 00:11:25,560 listen to a direct command so if Cersei 298 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,279 told them you know don't fucking bring 299 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,689 it don't 300 00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:29,910 bringing back to house she definitely 301 00:11:27,689 --> 00:11:32,790 could potentially have reason person 302 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:34,319 well she yeah if you know PI cells loyal 303 00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:35,970 the Lannisters he could have told them I 304 00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:38,550 meet her immediately that he was looking 305 00:11:35,970 --> 00:11:39,959 for this book on lineages type thing he 306 00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:41,670 might have even John Aron might have 307 00:11:39,959 --> 00:11:44,279 even confided in him a little bit more 308 00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:46,410 and said this is my suspicion and so 309 00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:48,899 it's an interesting you know which 310 00:11:46,410 --> 00:11:50,370 Meister was actually helping in which 311 00:11:48,899 --> 00:11:52,199 Meister was hurting or were they both 312 00:11:50,370 --> 00:11:54,180 well cuz yeah that's and that was my 313 00:11:52,199 --> 00:11:56,459 thought is would would purging be best 314 00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:59,249 for price l to get rid of the poison if 315 00:11:56,459 --> 00:12:01,290 he recognized a poison that's or is that 316 00:11:59,249 --> 00:12:03,059 going to make it worse because I know 317 00:12:01,290 --> 00:12:04,920 that they sometimes say for certain 318 00:12:03,059 --> 00:12:07,050 chemicals don't induce vomiting yeah you 319 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,059 need to let it pass actually so who 320 00:12:07,050 --> 00:12:10,499 knows which is which yeah exactly that's 321 00:12:09,059 --> 00:12:11,970 it we just don't we don't know what the 322 00:12:10,499 --> 00:12:14,040 poison is at this point and we don't 323 00:12:11,970 --> 00:12:16,170 obviously know how to treat it but net 324 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,680 asks him did Lord Arryn say anything to 325 00:12:16,170 --> 00:12:21,209 you in his final moments and paisaje 326 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,009 answer is that in the last stages of the 327 00:12:21,209 --> 00:12:25,019 fever the hand had called out the name 328 00:12:23,009 --> 00:12:26,939 Robert several times though whether he 329 00:12:25,019 --> 00:12:30,930 was asking for his son or the King I 330 00:12:26,939 --> 00:12:32,939 know not do you have a do you think he's 331 00:12:30,930 --> 00:12:34,769 calling out about the bastards and he 332 00:12:32,939 --> 00:12:39,089 wants Roberts attention on that I think 333 00:12:34,769 --> 00:12:42,079 he's trying to explain Robert and the 334 00:12:39,089 --> 00:12:45,029 bastards and that he in his poison say 335 00:12:42,079 --> 00:12:47,699 really get out as Robert you know and 336 00:12:45,029 --> 00:12:50,129 best yeah so so pycelle goes on it says 337 00:12:47,699 --> 00:12:51,600 that when I saw all hope had fled I gave 338 00:12:50,129 --> 00:12:53,759 the hand milk of the poppy so he 339 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,470 wouldn't suffer just before he closed 340 00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:58,800 his eyes he whispered to the king and 341 00:12:55,470 --> 00:13:00,240 his lady wife the seat is strong pycelle 342 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,569 then says that this is sort of in 343 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:07,050 memoriam of hitter as a tribute to son 344 00:13:03,569 --> 00:13:09,959 this here again to me is the milk of the 345 00:13:07,050 --> 00:13:11,879 poppy from pycelle it's I think it's the 346 00:13:09,959 --> 00:13:15,509 shot to show them off yeah keep him from 347 00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:17,850 some past yes I I definitely do it's a 348 00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:19,290 you know but I'm just sleep and you know 349 00:13:17,850 --> 00:13:20,610 I'm treating him I'm giving milk him 350 00:13:19,290 --> 00:13:21,840 with a poppy for his pain so who's gonna 351 00:13:20,610 --> 00:13:24,690 question that and 352 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:27,110 it kind of makes sure John Aaron can't 353 00:13:24,690 --> 00:13:29,100 let slip anything about the actual 354 00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:31,380 inside yeah and so he says it seems 355 00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:34,140 strong and that's he that he claims they 356 00:13:31,380 --> 00:13:36,750 think it's because of his six on yeah no 357 00:13:34,140 --> 00:13:38,220 he's strong he'll grow we know at this 358 00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:40,020 point that's not what he meant 359 00:13:38,220 --> 00:13:41,970 or at least we assume that's not what he 360 00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:45,930 meant when you know we figure out about 361 00:13:41,970 --> 00:13:49,529 the the Baratheon lineage which we also 362 00:13:45,930 --> 00:13:50,700 learn a lot from technically I read a 363 00:13:49,529 --> 00:13:52,980 little bit of it out of order 364 00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:55,710 the Baratheon line from a world of Ice 365 00:13:52,980 --> 00:13:59,400 and Fire yeah and fire and blood and 366 00:13:55,710 --> 00:14:02,120 stuff and I believe it was the the 367 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,980 Darren's that the Baratheon 's 368 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,200 originated from but technically the 369 00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:10,980 Baratheon house was founded by bastards 370 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,240 it's a bastard house and so it's not and 371 00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:16,470 they're very closely tied to the 372 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:20,220 Targaryen - Wow so yeah it's definitely 373 00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:22,680 referencing obviously the the seed 374 00:14:20,220 --> 00:14:24,300 within the Baratheon line being strong 375 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,220 see for the longest time when I read it 376 00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:27,810 I always thought it was like directly 377 00:14:26,220 --> 00:14:29,820 referencing country and saying like he's 378 00:14:27,810 --> 00:14:31,290 a strong man but you know it's it's 379 00:14:29,820 --> 00:14:33,150 saying the hereditary gene of the 380 00:14:31,290 --> 00:14:35,520 Baratheon is strong where it's usually a 381 00:14:33,150 --> 00:14:38,640 male and it's usually a black-haired 382 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,830 male pretty strong frame like they their 383 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,990 seed of the Baratheon male light is very 384 00:14:40,830 --> 00:14:46,080 strong is what he's saying in we know 385 00:14:42,990 --> 00:14:48,510 Robert has bastards everywhere and so 386 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,520 you learn it's you know Robert Capote 387 00:14:48,510 --> 00:14:53,220 and motherfucker is basically what he's 388 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,080 saying and so pycelle says that death 389 00:14:53,220 --> 00:14:56,940 didn't come until the next morning but 390 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,680 Lord Arryn was at peace after that and 391 00:14:56,940 --> 00:15:02,220 he never spoke again pycelle made sure 392 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,900 he never papi annette asks did it seem 393 00:15:02,220 --> 00:15:06,810 like there was anything unusual about 394 00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:08,910 this death and pycelle says no III don't 395 00:15:06,810 --> 00:15:10,770 really so because I think it's worth 396 00:15:08,910 --> 00:15:13,110 mentioning he's sipped at that milk a 397 00:15:10,770 --> 00:15:14,970 few times now and every time he talks 398 00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:17,400 about how overly sweet it is it's still 399 00:15:14,970 --> 00:15:19,560 refreshing cuz it's cold but that it's 400 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,630 just getting to sleep for his taste and 401 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,180 I feel like it's kind of referencing the 402 00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:26,700 converse I tell ya pycelle himself and 403 00:15:24,180 --> 00:15:30,060 so the milkier that they keep referring 404 00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:33,210 to is exactly its high sound sweetness 405 00:15:30,060 --> 00:15:36,530 per song occasion he's the 406 00:15:33,210 --> 00:15:38,910 this just awful bullshit yeah and so 407 00:15:36,530 --> 00:15:41,220 yeah pycelle says no it was sad for a 408 00:15:38,910 --> 00:15:43,170 certainty but John Aaron is at rest now 409 00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:45,180 and his burdens are listed I lifted at 410 00:15:43,170 --> 00:15:47,160 last and so Ned asks the illness that 411 00:15:45,180 --> 00:15:48,750 took him have you seen it before not any 412 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,280 other men yeah for the most part he kind 413 00:15:48,750 --> 00:15:53,280 of lays it out that you know in all his 414 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:55,590 years it's it's not anything more or 415 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,930 less unusual than any other illnesses 416 00:15:55,590 --> 00:16:00,420 expiry case is different in every cases 417 00:15:57,930 --> 00:16:02,940 alike Lord Lord John's death was no 418 00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:05,400 stranger than any other which again if 419 00:16:02,940 --> 00:16:07,230 pycelle is having a hand in it 420 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,900 that's exactly what he would be expected 421 00:16:07,230 --> 00:16:12,300 to say but and it like this is the only 422 00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:14,280 credit I will give to pycelle as he toes 423 00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:16,530 that line well where this is also what a 424 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:19,200 maester would say right you know and 425 00:16:16,530 --> 00:16:23,280 that's this is sort of the same and it 426 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:25,740 is so and so even if he's not aware you 427 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,180 know a skilled poisoner that's what 428 00:16:25,740 --> 00:16:28,110 they're trying to make everyone believe 429 00:16:27,180 --> 00:16:30,360 anyway 430 00:16:28,110 --> 00:16:32,010 and so he's kind of falling even if he 431 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,050 doesn't have any involvement he's saying 432 00:16:32,010 --> 00:16:35,730 all the things he supposed yeah and so 433 00:16:34,050 --> 00:16:38,300 Ned says and I think this is pretty 434 00:16:35,730 --> 00:16:41,490 brazen he says his wife saw otherwise 435 00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:43,920 about John this illness being strange 436 00:16:41,490 --> 00:16:46,230 and pycelle says forgive an old man his 437 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,240 bluntness but grief can deranged even 438 00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:51,120 the strongest and most disciplined minds 439 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,950 and lady Lysa was never that she's 440 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,790 pretty brash batshit crazy we know this 441 00:16:52,950 --> 00:16:58,650 but the fact that Ned sort of points out 442 00:16:56,790 --> 00:17:01,110 that she's distrusting of the story 443 00:16:58,650 --> 00:17:03,630 everything is pretty brazen right now to 444 00:17:01,110 --> 00:17:06,540 be dropping names but the fact that 445 00:17:03,630 --> 00:17:08,790 pycelle is also sort of aware of the 446 00:17:06,540 --> 00:17:10,410 fact that she's having issues with this 447 00:17:08,790 --> 00:17:12,450 and he says that since her last 448 00:17:10,410 --> 00:17:14,670 stillbirths she sees enemies in every 449 00:17:12,450 --> 00:17:16,740 shadow and the death of her lord husband 450 00:17:14,670 --> 00:17:18,750 has left her shattered and lost so 451 00:17:16,740 --> 00:17:20,520 they're chalking it up to her grief but 452 00:17:18,750 --> 00:17:22,260 one I think she's always just been 453 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,300 fucking crazy then throwing the paranoia 454 00:17:22,260 --> 00:17:26,130 affection and now throwing the paranoia 455 00:17:24,300 --> 00:17:28,200 but I still just think that that's an 456 00:17:26,130 --> 00:17:30,720 interesting everyone sort of aware that 457 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,640 Lysa is unstable and and Ned straight-up 458 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,990 asks like she doesn't really think 459 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,610 that's what's going on well that's it 460 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:36,990 like it's so crazy because like I was 461 00:17:35,610 --> 00:17:39,900 pissed off throughout this whole chapter 462 00:17:36,990 --> 00:17:41,280 that Ned is saying so much why are you 463 00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:43,350 trusting this man and even in the 464 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,910 chapter before this with Ned when he was 465 00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:46,860 in the small council meeting he seemed 466 00:17:44,910 --> 00:17:49,049 to respect and 467 00:17:46,860 --> 00:17:51,059 to pay sell so much which is expected 468 00:17:49,049 --> 00:17:55,170 he's the Meister you know the citadel 469 00:17:51,059 --> 00:17:57,210 he's he's important dude there but God 470 00:17:55,170 --> 00:18:00,360 it was aggravating yeah even at the end 471 00:17:57,210 --> 00:18:02,370 he he almost doesn't trust him right but 472 00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:05,100 he's still putting all this information 473 00:18:02,370 --> 00:18:07,170 yeah Ned I love you dude but so Annette 474 00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:08,880 asked him you are certain it was an 475 00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:11,820 illness that killed Jon Arryn and 476 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,540 pycelle says I am if not illness what 477 00:18:11,820 --> 00:18:14,760 else could it be 478 00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:17,940 and it says poison and yep I sell perks 479 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,860 right eyeball yeah GP eyes lick open and 480 00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:21,559 he says a disturbing thought it's 481 00:18:19,860 --> 00:18:24,000 possible but I don't think it lightly 482 00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:24,750 Lordaeron showed no signs and was loved 483 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,210 by all 484 00:18:24,750 --> 00:18:29,640 what sort of monster in man's flesh 485 00:18:27,210 --> 00:18:32,580 would dare to murder such a noble Lord 486 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:35,250 and Ned says that poison he's heard is 487 00:18:32,580 --> 00:18:36,660 rumored to be used as a woman's weapon 488 00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:39,870 do you think this is Ned trying to 489 00:18:36,660 --> 00:18:41,880 direct it at Cersei mmm no I think that 490 00:18:39,870 --> 00:18:44,640 that's actually a common saying I agree 491 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:48,090 to me it felt like he had Cersei in mind 492 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:51,059 there I feel like that's not crazy for 493 00:18:48,090 --> 00:18:53,040 him to you know kind of not door because 494 00:18:51,059 --> 00:18:54,990 it's he can't directly say I think the 495 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:58,140 Queen poison well yeah I know yeah so 496 00:18:54,990 --> 00:19:03,059 how many other women would be willing to 497 00:18:58,140 --> 00:19:05,460 you know and so I I'm surprised that 498 00:19:03,059 --> 00:19:09,690 nobody looks at Lysa just cuz you know 499 00:19:05,460 --> 00:19:11,970 the grieving widow yeah that's how many 500 00:19:09,690 --> 00:19:13,620 I mean I suppose it's because we know it 501 00:19:11,970 --> 00:19:16,169 with today's technology and shit that 502 00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:20,280 nine times out of ten it's the spouse or 503 00:19:16,169 --> 00:19:22,140 whatever yeah killed but like no I you 504 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,400 know I think he's definitely alluding to 505 00:19:22,140 --> 00:19:29,220 it is in the most subtle ways it's not a 506 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:31,950 whoa which is surprising it's long so 507 00:19:29,220 --> 00:19:33,540 pycelle respond saying yeah it is said 508 00:19:31,950 --> 00:19:36,419 that poisons a woman's weapon women 509 00:19:33,540 --> 00:19:39,210 Cravens and eunuchs and he urges the 510 00:19:36,419 --> 00:19:41,090 conversation Lord Varys was born in a 511 00:19:39,210 --> 00:19:43,590 slave how

00:19:50,040 lys did you know this he said oh and 515 00:19:48,210 --> 00:19:52,740 once again it also makes me laugh 516 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,570 because Littlefinger comes from the Free 517 00:19:52,740 --> 00:19:57,419 Cities his family yeah Bravo 518 00:19:54,570 --> 00:19:59,620 they you know that that's that can work 519 00:19:57,419 --> 00:20:01,690 for a few different people and

but none didn't need 523 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,830 to be told this because there's 524 00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:10,570 something about Varys that just makes 525 00:20:08,830 --> 00:20:13,270 his fucking skin crawl which pisses me 526 00:20:10,570 --> 00:20:15,130 off cuz like he's the one you should at 527 00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:18,070 least yeah Ethan and you put it all into 528 00:20:15,130

any 531 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:28,210 other way and Ned says he'd like to take 532 00:20:24,370 --> 00:20:30,280 a look at the book yeah look at the book 533 00:20:28,210 --> 00:20:31,809 that Jon Arryn had borrowed and pycelle 534 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,370 says I don't think it will interest you 535 00:20:31,809 --> 00:20:35,890 my lord almost seems like he was trying 536 00:20:33,370 --> 00:20:37,120 to talk you know and so that's why I 537 00:20:35,890 --> 00:20:38,110 thought it was funny that Ned kind of 538 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:39,850 threw it like he was getting up and 539 00:20:38,110 --> 00:20:43,059 ready to leave and like walking out and 540 00:20:39,850 --> 00:20:45,700 he stops he's like oh yeah one last 541 00:20:43,059 --> 00:20:47,380 thing I need the book I

ponderous old tome on the 545 00:20:50,740 --> 00:20:55,000 lineages of the Great Houses but Ned 546 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,770 wants it all the same so pycelle says he 547 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,240 thinks he has it here somewhere but 548 00:20:56,770 --> 00:21:00,940 he'll find it and he'll have it sent to 549 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,679 net chamber and so Ned asks one last 550

think it's 611 00:23:29,429 --> 00:23:34,019 interesting that bran is thinking I 612 00:23:31,289 --> 00:23:36,690 never fall whereas Arya is aspiring to 613 00:23:34,019 --> 00:23:39,179 be this water dancer who never fell so 614 00:23:36,690 --> 00:23:41,309 it's sort of that weird but she stops 615 00:23:39,179 --> 00:23:42,720 balancing herself puts her leg down and 616 00:23:41,309 --> 00:23:45,749 asks will bran come to live with us now 617 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,580 that he's awake and no thanks back to 618 00:23:45,749 --> 00:23:49,830 the night they received that the Raven 619 00:23:47,580 --> 00:23:51,779 arrived with word of brand and how Ned 620 00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:54,539 had gathered up the girls Arya and Sansa 621 00:23:51,779 --> 00:23:57,269 and took them out to the godswood yeah 622 00:23:54,539 --> 00:23:58,950 to stand a silent vigil for however they 623 00:23:57,269 --> 00:24:01,590 don't have a legit where would heart 624 00:23:58,950 --> 00:24:03,989 tree here they only have a great oak it 625 00:24:01,590 --> 00:24:06,210 is not an actual where would in King's 626 00:24:03,989 --> 00:24:08,460 Landing so they kneel before it they 627 00:24:06,210 --> 00:24:10,200 offer their thanks for bran the girls 628 00:24:08,460 --> 00:24:12,720 ended up falling asleep pretty early on 629 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,639 so Ned kept his vigil alone and when 630 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,489 they awoke Sansa said that she had 631 00:24:14,639 --> 00:24:21,269 dreamed of bran and he was smiling and 632 00:24:17,489 --> 00:24:24,029 then Arya also said she dreamt of bran 633 00:24:21,269 --> 00:24:25,800 yeah and that he was a knight yes did 634 00:24:24,029 --> 00:24:28,830 they share a dream 635 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,360 I don't know like cuz I mean I'm you 636 00:24:28,830 --> 00:24:32,940 could always make the claim you know no 637 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:34,500 they just happened to have a but I like 638 00:24:32,940 --> 00:24:36,420 the way that it said that when they woke 639 00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:38,960 they were both surrounded by the blood 640 00:24:36,420 --> 00:24:42,420 dragon leaves was that blood dragon 641 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:44,670 dragons breath breath the dark red 642 00:24:42,420 --> 00:24:48,720 blooms of dragon's breath surrounded the 643 00:24:44,670 --> 00:24:51,990 girls where they lay yeah and I is that 644 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:54,630 a foreshadowing of their entire story 645 00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:56,429 just there there's dragon fire coming 646 00:24:54,630 --> 00:24:58,380 forward well I mean guys I think that's 647 00:24:56,429 --> 00:25:00,059 just a pretty startling image to Ned of 648 00:24:58,380 --> 00:25:02,010 it almost would look like his two 649 00:25:00,059 --> 00:25:04,380 daughters are lying dead before yeah 650 00:25:02,010 --> 00:25:06,330 and so he's keeping this vigil thanking 651 00:25:04,380 --> 00:25:08,400 the gods for bringing his one son back 652 00:25:06,330 --> 00:25:10,500 and he and you know they're not in the 653 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,300 north like we get that pretty painted 654 00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:14,460 pretty clearly this is an old oak that 655 00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:16,980 they're praying to and giving thanks to 656 00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:19,350 and they're in the south surrounded by 657 00:25:16,980 --> 00:25:21,780 all this finery and everything so the 658 00:25:19,350 --> 00:25:26,300 girls are in danger I think it's sort of 659 00:25:21,780 --> 00:25:30,179 yeah what that's the wrong town to know 660 00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:30,630 it he starts laying some truths on are 661 00:25:30,179 --> 00:25:32,280 you 662 00:25:30,630 --> 00:25:34,770 well are ya asks if bran can still be a 663 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,840 knight now and Ned sees no use in lying 664 00:25:34,770 --> 00:25:39,059 to her and he says no but he could still 665 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,309 be Lord of a holdfast or sit on a King's 666 00:25:39,059 --> 00:25:44,040 Council he could raise castles like 667 00:25:41,309 --> 00:25:46,650 Brandon ibill he could sail across the 668 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:50,000 sunset sea is the captain of a ship and 669 00:25:46,650 --> 00:25:52,890 Arya asks oh but he he thinks to himself 670 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,770 he will never run beside his Wolf again 671 00:25:52,890 --> 00:25:57,840 or lie with a woman or hold his own son 672 00:25:55,770 --> 00:25:59,970 in his hands and he thinks this with 673 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:04,110 just such a deep sad yes he's trying to 674 00:25:59,970 --> 00:26:06,059 you know not scare Arya so I like that 675 00:26:04,110 --> 00:26:08,790 the first thing he mentioned was run 676 00:26:06,059 --> 00:26:11,070 with the wolf yeah and that's exactly 677 00:26:08,790 --> 00:26:12,660 what he was that's what branch chapter 678 00:26:11,070 --> 00:26:15,030 two opened up on yeah was that he 679 00:26:12,660 --> 00:26:16,470 couldn't run and so yeah Arya asks if 680 00:26:15,030 --> 00:26:18,000 she can do these things so Ned give 681 00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:20,070 their kids on the brow and says you will 682 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,290 marry a king and rule his castle and 683 00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:24,030 have his sons and daughters and it says 684 00:26:22,290 --> 00:26:26,460 Arya screwed up her face yeah and this 685 00:26:24,030 --> 00:26:28,740 is all back in the present again yes she 686 00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:30,540 says no that's Sansa she gets up so she 687 00:26:28,740 --> 00:26:31,830 gets up and she resumed her balancing 688 00:26:30,540 --> 00:26:34,200 like she ain't having that shit 689 00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:36,390 no no so Ned sighs you know what's he 690 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,010 gonna do when he leaves her there and it 691 00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:39,270 goes into his chambers he splashes some 692 00:26:38,010 --> 00:26:41,610 cold water on his head 693 00:26:39,270 --> 00:26:43,440 he's drying himself off when Allen the 694 00:26:41,610 --> 00:26:45,390 captain of his guard comes in and tells 695 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,730 him that Lord Petyr Baelish is asking 696 00:26:45,390 --> 00:26:49,260 for an audience so Ned tells him have 697 00:26:47,730 --> 00:26:50,070 him escorted to my solar I'll see him 698 00:26:49,260 --> 00:26:53,340 immediately 699 00:26:50,070 --> 00:26:55,020 yeah and so he walks in and Petyr 700 00:26:53,340 --> 00:26:57,150 Baelish Littlefinger is sitting in the 701 00:26:55,020 --> 00:26:59,670 window watching the Kings guard practice 702 00:26:57,150 --> 00:27:02,550 down in the field and he has a few 703 00:26:59,670 --> 00:27:04,680 choice words for Selmy just saying you 704 00:27:02,550 --> 00:27:07,050 know just be only his mind whereas sharp 705 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,520 of his blade he think the council 706 00:27:07,050 --> 00:27:10,380 meetings would be a great deal livelier 707 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,630 and I like that Ned defends him he 708 00:27:10,380 --> 00:27:14,310 stands up and you know and puts out that 709 00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:16,620 he has a lot of respect for Selmy and 710 00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:18,570 good thing he's finally got his trust in 711 00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:20,160 at least one person that deserves it 712 00:27:18,570 --> 00:27:22,340 yeah you know yeah he's come to have a 713 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,390 deep respect for the Lord Commander but 714 00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:26,250 Littlefinger remarks that he should do 715 00:27:24,390 --> 00:27:28,980 good in the tourney at least and Ned 716 00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:30,780 gives just not about all about who wins 717 00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:31,350 yes what the fuck Peter wants what are 718 00:27:30,780 --> 00:27:32,640 you doing here 719 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:35,250 what do you would it why you here and 720 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,530 Peter was like well I made a promise to 721 00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:39,600 your wife and I plan on keeping that 722 00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:42,720 promise so that kind of takes me out of 723 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:44,730 back he's he's finding it hard to trust 724 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:48,560 in Baelish who just strikes him as too 725 00:27:44,730 --> 00:27:50,430 clever by half he thinks but he 726 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,590 Littlefinger asks him have you thought 727 00:27:50,430 --> 00:27:54,450 to question the hand servants and Ned 728 00:27:52,590 --> 00:27:57,390 thinks that most of them left with Liza 729 00:27:54,450 --> 00:27:59,310 she did take the whole of her household 730 00:27:57,390 --> 00:28:00,840 guard back to the Eyrie all those 731 00:27:59,310 --> 00:28:02,970 closest to her husband anything she did 732 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,620 her and she did Ned no favors in doing 733 00:28:02,970 --> 00:28:07,680 that because he has no one to question 734 00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:09,810 but Littlefinger corrects him most not 735 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,540 all a few still remain here in King's 736 00:28:09,810 --> 00:28:14,760 Landing and there's a pregnant girl in 737 00:28:12,540 --> 00:28:17,070 the in the kitchens and you know a 738 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,260 couple other nobodies basically but the 739 00:28:17,070 --> 00:28:22,110 big name we get mentioned is Jon Arryn 740 00:28:19,260 --> 00:28:23,730 Squire Sir Hugh of the Vale yes and it 741 00:28:22,110 --> 00:28:26,280 says that the King knighted the boy 742 00:28:23,730 --> 00:28:28,530 after Lord Aaron's death Ned sees 743 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:32,610 nothing the fuck wrong with that yes 744 00:28:28,530 --> 00:28:35,070 like nothing what why why yeah and so 745 00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:37,200 it's it's crazy because you know again 746 00:28:35,070 --> 00:28:39,060 knowing that he and Lysa are the ones 747 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,950 that planned everything these four were 748 00:28:39,060 --> 00:28:43,380 left intentionally they weren't brought 749 00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:45,000 because he needed to have somebody to 750 00:28:43,380 --> 00:28:46,980 give the pieces because obviously 751 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,770 fucking Ned needs the bread crumbs 752 00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:52,590 because he can't figure shit out 753 00:28:48,770 --> 00:28:54,840 whatsoever and having that 754 00:28:52,590 --> 00:28:56,280 stuff in place he's just you know cuz if 755 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,320 my first thought was oh he's got these 756 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,880 plans did he teach them what to say 757 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,800 he's got them there for that purpose 758 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,630 that's why they're fucking yeah there is 759 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,640 he's feeding them this information even 760 00:29:03,630 --> 00:29:08,910 if he's not scripting them and teaching 761 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:11,430 them their lines he's planting the the 762 00:29:08,910 --> 00:29:13,920 words that they need to know to give to 763 00:29:11,430 --> 00:29:16,050 fucking Ned when he shows up yeah and so 764 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,030 Ned says that he'll sent for them in 765 00:29:16,050 --> 00:29:19,950 Littlefinger Scouts again and calls net 766 00:29:18,030 --> 00:29:22,020 over to the window and he points out and 767 00:29:19,950 --> 00:29:23,400 he says do you see across the yard there 768 00:29:22,020 --> 00:29:25,890 at the door to the armory you see the 769 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,690 boy and that asks what off him and he 770 00:29:25,890 --> 00:29:29,400 says he reports to Lord Varys the spider 771 00:29:27,690 --> 00:29:31,380 has taken a great interest in you and 772 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,730 your doings and he directs them to the 773 00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:33,960 wall now look at the wall you see the 774 00:29:32,730 --> 00:29:36,600 guardsmen they're leaning on the 775 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,610 ramparts another embarrasses little 776 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,740 whisperers nope this one belongs to the 777 00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:42,750 Queen and he says notice that he has a 778 00:29:40,740 --> 00:29:45,890 very fine door of view of the door to 779 00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:48,300 your tower to know who calls on you and 780 00:29:45,890 --> 00:29:51,390 he just sets the red cape is full of 781 00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:53,190 eyes dude like you are being so dumb net 782 00:29:51,390 --> 00:29:55,410 has no taste for these intrigues as 783 00:29:53,190 --> 00:29:57,060 we've learned but he suddenly starts to 784 00:29:55,410 --> 00:29:58,920 feel uncomfortable with that guard just 785 00:29:57,060 --> 00:30:00,810 being able to look in the window so he 786 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,520 moves away do you think any of those 787 00:30:00,810 --> 00:30:05,610 ones he pointed out our actual spies 788 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,410 maybe is because part of me was that was 789 00:30:05,610 --> 00:30:10,830 that like his are they actually who 790 00:30:07,410 --> 00:30:12,210 spies he says are they his spies or are 791 00:30:10,830 --> 00:30:14,670 they fucking spies I think so because I 792 00:30:12,210 --> 00:30:16,980 think between obviously we get sort of 793 00:30:14,670 --> 00:30:18,390 the three spy masters here we seriously 794 00:30:16,980 --> 00:30:20,370 we get Varys and we get little finger I 795 00:30:18,390 --> 00:30:22,470 think each of them are sort of aware of 796 00:30:20,370 --> 00:30:24,030 the top layer of spies and then like 797 00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:25,770 maybe two or three of they're like 798 00:30:24,030 --> 00:30:28,830 second level and then they've each got 799 00:30:25,770 --> 00:30:30,480 like they're good spies and they're off 800 00:30:28,830 --> 00:30:32,010 the grid so maybe that one actually is 801 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,110
