Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from Kyle R I have a Henry Supreme in 300 blk out used as a range toy. With the SBR tax stamps going to $0, I am considering having the barrel cut and threaded to 11”. This is basically the end of the stock forearm. I'm running it suppressed with subs only, as God and Jeremy demand. Is getting 5” cut off worth the effort for the performance/enjoyment return? Question from Andrew H Hey dudes, long time listener here dating back to 2016 and second time questioner. I'm in the market for a semi auto .22lr handgun so I'm sure Shawn already hates this question. It's purpose would be for frequent cheap target practice, and maybe occasional EDC as I prefer to carry 9mm. I am kind of between the Walther P22Q (tactical?) or the Taurus TX22, however welcome the groups recommendations on other firearms as well. Historically I've disliked every Taurus I've held or shot. Reviews are mixed on the P22 but I like the look and feel better. Love the show and all you guys do. Thanks until next time. #ssb Question from Nick F this year I turn 44, naturally I'd like to get myself a 44 magnum. y'all got any suggestions to solve my dirty harry dilemma? Question from Kyle R I was excited last year for Ohio to be hosting Guncon, but disappointed I couldn't make it. Sounds like I missed a bullet though. With Patton trying again, this time outside of “BEAUTIFUL” Youngstown, I'll get a second chance. Are all of the cast planning on going? Could this be the trip that finally gets Shawn to quit being a Commie and move to a respectable state? Question from Ben Dover Can you suggest a decently light hunting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor? I have a Bergara B-14 HMR and I'd prefer something that weighs a bit less. Not looking to get into a Bergara after my first experience GUN INDUSTRY NEWS TACWRK Announces Tasmanian Tiger TT Mega Mil OPS Pack 600 TACWRK, in collaboration with Ripperkon, has released the largest Tasmanian Tiger backpack ever built, the TT Mega Mil OPS Pack 600, boasting a 900-liter capacity in Olive.

You Promised Dragons and Gave Us Chattering Hens This Week on the Podcast, Brian and Darryl get around to reviewing the last 3 episodes of season 2 of House of the Dragon. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Deadpool 3 Box Office: 10:05 Dragon Stuff Season 2: 17:03 House of the Dragon (Season 2) Season 2 Out of 10 Inconsistent Starts and Stops Darryl: 7/10 Brain: 6.78/10 Episode 6 Episode Title: “Smallfolk” Written by: Eileen Shim Directed by: Andrij Parekh Air Date: July 21, 2024 Summary: Jason Lannister leads his army to the Golden Tooth. Aemond refuses vassal Humfrey Lefford’s request to fly there and provide support. Aemond wants Tyland Lannister to ally with the Triarchy to break the Velaryon blockade. Aemond orders Criston to march on Harrenhal and dismisses Alicent from the Small Council. Ser Steffon Darklyn, a distant Targaryen descendant, attempts to claim Seasmoke and is incinerated. Daemon continues having disturbing dreams and irrationally believes he is being poisoned. Aemond orders Larys to summon Otto Hightower to court. Aegon, slowly recovering, tells Aemond he remembers nothing about the battle. Gwayne Hightower assures Alicent that her youngest son, Daeron, is kind, unlike his brothers. Corlys appoints his illegitimate son, Alyn of Hull, his flagship’s first mate. Meanwhile, Alyn’s brother, Addam, is pursued by Seasmoke. Mysaria’s spies spread rumors that the royals regularly feast while smallfolk starve. Mysaria sends food-laden Targaryen boats to King’s Landing. The grateful citizens fight over limited supplies, causing a riot that Alicent and Helaena barely survive. Mysaria tells Rhaenyra that her father sexually abused her and why she is loyal. They passionately kiss. Upon hearing Seasmoke has a new rider, Rhaenyra leaves on Syrax to confront them. Episode 7 Episode Title: “The Red Sowing” Written by: David Hancock Directed by: Loni Perstere Air Date: July 28, 2024 Summary: Rhaenyra confronts Addam of Hull, Seasmoke’s new rider, who pledges fealty to her. Dismayed at being removed from the Small Council, Alicent retreats to the Kingswood. Larys pushes Grand Maester Orwyle to accelerate Aegon’s recovery. While departing the Eyrie with the young princes, Rhaena leaves to find the wild dragon. Mysaria tells Rhaenyra to search for Targaryen dragonseeds (bastards with Valyrian blood) in King’s Landing as potential dragonriders. The new Lord Paramount, Oscar Tully, offers Daemon allegiance but denounces his nefarious behavior. He demands Daemon’s contrition and to mete out justice for allowing war atrocities; Daemon then executes Willem Blackwood for slaughtering the Brackens. Daemon has another vision of Viserys, who asks if he truly wants the crown and its burden. Jace confronts Rhaenyra, arguing that bastard dragonriders could challenge the Targaryens’ power and threaten the succession due to his illegitimate birth. At Rhaenyra’s command, Elinda and Alyn deliver the dragonseeds to Dragonstone, Hugh, and Ulf among them. Vermithor kills many dragonseeds until Hugh claims him; meanwhile, Ulf claims Silverwing and flies over King’s Landing. Aemond pursues him on Vhagar but nearing Dragonstone, he quickly retreats upon seeing Rhaenyra with Syrax, Vermithor, and Silverwing. Episode 8 Episode Title: “The Queen Who Ever Was” Written by: Sara Hess Directed by: Greeta Vasant Patel Air Date: August 4, 2024 Summary: Tyland Lannister allies with the Triarchy, but must first defeat Admiral Sharako Lohar in mud-wrestling; he wins, impressing her. Larys urges Aegon to exile themselves in Braavos where Harrenhal’s gold is stashed, then reclaim the throne following the war. After a long search, Rhaena finds the wild dragon. Gwayne challenges Criston, who regrets the war. A rage-fueled Aemond destroys Sharp Point with Vhagar. Rhaenyra, who hoped to have more dragonriders would deter conflict, declares war. Ulf’s boorish behavior angers Jace. Alyn rebuffs Corlys’s attempts at reconciliation. Rhaenyra and Addam fly to Harrenhal after Simon Strong sends a warning that Daemon may be traitorous. Alys leads Daemon to a weirwood tree where he foresees a future including a White Walker and Daenerys Targaryen; seeing himself as part of a larger story, he swears fealty to Rhaenyra. Helaena refuses Aemond’s demand to fly Dreamfyre into battle and foresees that he will die in the war. Alicent secretly travels to Dragonstone, offering to surrender King’s Landing to Rhaenyra in exchange for her and her family’s safety; Rhaenyra insists Aegon must die to ensure the transition. Otto is briefly seen captive in a cell. Westeros prepares for war. Infamous Shirts for Naked Bodies… You’ll feel “shirty” when you buy our gear from the Flying Pork Apparel Co.

Spoiler note: This House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 review discusses “The Red Sowing” in full, including the dragonseeds, Hugh, Ulf, Vermithor, Silverwing, Addam, Jace, Alicent, Daemon at Harrenhal, Oscar Tully, Aemond, and the ending. Mary & Blake are TV-first viewers and avoid future Fire & Blood spoilers. In our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 review, we break down “The Red Sowing,” the penultimate episode where Rhaenyra finally gets the dragon army she needs — and maybe creates the next giant problem she cannot control. This is a huge episode for Team Black. Addam bends the knee, Hugh claims Vermithor, Ulf claims Silverwing, and Aemond suddenly realizes that Vhagar may not be enough anymore. But the episode also asks the obvious question: is giving dragon power to barely trained strangers a brilliant wartime gamble or the worst HR onboarding process in Westeros? Mary gave the episode 4.9 flames, while Blake gave it 4.85 flames. The dragon spectacle is massive, Alicent continues to get some of the show's strongest interior scenes, Oscar Tully finally gives the Riverlands plot real life, and the ending gives the season genuine momentum heading into the finale. Below, you can listen to our full podcast breakdown, watch the video version, read the recap, and follow our related House of the Dragon Season 2 coverage. Listen To Our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 Recap And Reaction Mary & Blake discuss House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7, “The Red Sowing,” including why the dragon selection scene is compelling but light on tension, why Alicent continues to have some of the best scenes in the show, why Team Black needs a much better HR team, and why Hugh, Ulf, Addam, Vermithor, Silverwing, and Seasmoke change the war. Subscribe To Get New House Of The Dragon Episodes APPLE PODCASTS YOUTUBE SPOTIFY House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 Recap: What Happens In “The Red Sowing”? “The Red Sowing” begins with Rhaenyra meeting Addam of Hull after Seasmoke chooses him as a rider. Addam immediately bends the knee and declares himself loyal to her, even though his parentage and connection to Corlys remain publicly unspoken. At Driftmark, Corlys continues awkwardly circling the truth about Addam and Alyn. Everyone who matters seems to know what is happening, but no one is saying the full thing out loud. Addam has just had a life-changing event, yet Corlys still struggles to acknowledge him plainly as his son. In King's Landing, Larys continues helping Aegon recover while Aemond rules as Prince Regent. Aegon is badly wounded, but he is not useless. Larys understands that better than almost anyone, and he keeps pushing Aegon's body and mind back toward survival. Alicent removes herself from King's Landing and goes into the woods with Ser Rickard. She is not exactly roughing it, but she is away from the Red Keep, away from the council, and away from the system that has swallowed her power. Her lake scene becomes one of the episode's most haunting images. At Harrenhal, Daemon finally gets movement in the Riverlands. Oscar Tully arrives as the new Lord Paramount and forces Daemon to face the consequences of the violence committed in Rhaenyra's name. To win the Riverlords, Daemon has to let Willem Blackwood die. On Dragonstone, Rhaenyra follows Mysaria's idea and summons people with possible Targaryen blood from King's Landing. The dragonkeepers object and walk away, calling the plan blasphemy. Rhaenyra proceeds anyway, bringing a crowd of would-be dragonriders before Vermithor. The attempt becomes a massacre. Vermithor burns and eats many of them before Hugh steps forward and survives the encounter. Ulf, meanwhile, stumbles into Silverwing and accidentally becomes her rider. By the end of the episode, Team Black has three new riders: Addam on Seasmoke, Hugh on Vermithor, and Ulf on Silverwing. The episode ends with Ulf flying over King's Landing on Silverwing, drawing Aemond and Vhagar toward Dragonstone. But when Aemond sees Rhaenyra standing with multiple dragons and riders, he turns back. For the first time in a long time, Vhagar is not the only answer. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 Review “The Red Sowing” is exactly what a penultimate episode should be in this season: not necessarily the biggest battle, but the episode that changes the math before the finale. The strongest thing the episode does is make dragon power feel both miraculous and horrifying. Vermithor is spectacular. Silverwing is joyful. Seasmoke has personality. The final image of Rhaenyra with her dragons is powerful. But the process of getting there is ugly, reckless, and full of dead people who were treated more like applicants than human beings. That is the tension at the center of the episode. Rhaenyra needs riders. Vhagar has changed the entire war. Rook's Rest proved that Team Black cannot keep pretending restraint will save them. But Rhaenyra's solution is not clean. It is desperate, dangerous, and morally compromised. Blake's biggest critique is that the Vermithor sequence is incredible spectacle but not especially tense. The show has already spent too much time pointing at Hugh and Ulf for us to believe they are truly in danger. Once the crowd enters the dragon pit, the scene becomes less “who will survive?” and more “how long until the plot catches up to what we already know?” Mary responds more to the feeling of the dragon-bonding imagery: Rhaenyra reaching out, Hugh touching Vermithor, Ulf's chaotic joy, and the way the dragons finally seem to be choosing their people. The sequence may lack surprise, but it does not lack scale, awe, or personality. The episode also works because it is not only about dragons. Alicent's scenes are quiet but excellent. Oscar Tully gives Harrenhal the kick it badly needed. Jace finally says the thing that has been sitting underneath his story for years. And Aemond's retreat at the end gives the whole season a new tactical shape. Why Is The Episode Called “The Red Sowing”? The title “The Red Sowing” refers to Rhaenyra's attempt to find new dragonriders among people with possible Targaryen blood. She is not planting crops. She is planting power into people the old order never intended to elevate. The “red” part matters because this is not a clean recruitment drive. It is bloody. Many of the people who answer the call are burned, eaten, or trapped inside a ritual they do not fully understand. Rhaenyra gets what she wants, but the cost is enormous. The title also points toward the dragonseeds themselves: people scattered through bloodlines, secrets, brothels, bastardy, and forgotten branches of Targaryen history. Rhaenyra is harvesting that hidden inheritance because the war has made the old rules less useful. That is why “The Red Sowing” is such a strong title. It is about bloodline, bloodshed, and the terrifying idea that dragon power can move outside the royal family's clean little story about itself. The Dragonseeds Explained: Who Claims Dragons In Episode 7? The dragonseeds are people with possible Targaryen or Valyrian blood who may be able to bond with dragons, even if they are not part of the official royal line. In “The Red Sowing,” three riders matter most: Addam of Hull is chosen by Seasmoke before the mass claiming attempt begins. His connection to Corlys and Laenor gives the moment deeper family weight. Hugh Hammer survives Vermithor after stepping forward during the chaos. His Targaryen connection, grief, anger, and physical courage make him the most dramatically serious new rider. Ulf White stumbles into Silverwing almost by accident. His claiming scene is much lighter, stranger, and funnier, but it may also be the most worrying because Ulf is exactly the kind of person Blake does not want handed a dragon. The dragonseeds change the war because they solve Rhaenyra's immediate numbers problem. But they also create a much bigger question: if dragons can choose people outside the royal line, then what actually makes the ruling family special? Vermithor, Hugh, And The Dragon Selection Scene The Vermithor scene is the centerpiece of the episode. It is huge, loud, terrifying, and visually clear. The dragon is enormous. The crowd is completely outmatched. The sound design makes every scrape, breath, and movement feel dangerous. But the scene also has a tension problem. We already know Hugh has been built for something. We already know Ulf has been built for something. The anonymous people around them feel marked for death almost immediately. That means the scene works more as spectacle than suspense. Still, Hugh's moment lands because it tells us something about him. He does not simply hide. He steps forward. He protects someone else. He faces Vermithor with fear, anger, and need all moving through him at once. That is why Hugh feels like the right match for Vermithor. He is not polished. He is not noble in the traditional courtly way. He is wounded, furious, and desperate. Vermithor is not a gentle little symbol of legitimacy. He is raw power. Hugh meeting that power makes sense. Ulf And Silverwing: The Funniest Dragon Claiming Ulf's claiming of Silverwing plays like an accidental miracle. He is not noble. He is not prepared. He is not impressive in the way the dragonkeepers would want. He is terrified, scrambling, and very lucky. That is part of why the scene works. Silverwing feels different from Vermithor. Where Vermithor is all danger and domination, Silverwing feels curious and strangely gentle. Ulf becomes a rider almost by stumbling into the right place at the right time. The joy of Ulf flying over King's Landing matters because it gives the episode a burst of pure dragon fantasy. He is having the time of his life. The problem is that this is exactly why Blake is horrified. Ulf is the HR problem in human form. He gets a dragon and immediately turns into “Ulf the Dragonlord.” That may be fun for one episode. It may be a disaster for everyone later. Team Black Needs A Better HR And Onboarding System Rhaenyra's plan works, but the process is an absolute nightmare. Team Black gathers a bunch of people with possible Targaryen blood, ships them to Dragonstone, gives them almost no meaningful training, watches the dragonkeepers quit in protest, and then sends the whole group into a cave with one of the most dangerous creatures alive. Yes, the war is desperate. Yes, Vhagar is a massive problem. Yes, Rhaenyra needs riders. But this is still an onboarding disaster. The better version of this plan probably involves screening, training, smaller groups, clearer expectations, and maybe not throwing dozens of people into a dragon pit at once. Instead, Rhaenyra creates a “survive the dragon” workplace culture with a very poor benefits package. That is funny, but it also gets to the moral core of the episode. Rhaenyra is becoming more decisive. She is also becoming more willing to spend lives for the cause. That may make her more effective. It may also make her more dangerous. Jace Is Right To Be Worried Jace's frustration with Rhaenyra is not just whining. It is one of the smartest objections in the episode. Jace understands that his claim already depends on people accepting a story. Everyone knows the rumors about his father. Everyone knows he does not look like the old Valyrian ideal. His dragon has always been part of what makes him visibly Targaryen enough to survive the politics around him. Now Rhaenyra is handing that same symbol to common-born riders and unacknowledged bastards. From a wartime perspective, that may be necessary. From Jace's perspective, it undermines one of the few things protecting his future. That is why his question matters: what is he supposed to be after Rhaenyra dies? If dragonriding is no longer exclusive, then his legitimacy problem gets worse, not better. Jace is not wrong to see the generational consequence. Rhaenyra is trying to win the current war. Jace is thinking about the next reign. Alicent At The Lake Alicent's lake scene is one of the best quiet sequences of the episode. She leaves King's Landing, steps away from the Red Keep, and enters a space where she has no council table, no sons demanding power, no father answering her, and no clear role left to play. The image of Alicent floating in the water is beautiful because it is also frightening. For a moment, the show lets us wonder whether she is surrendering, cleansing herself, disappearing, or deciding what comes next. That ambiguity is what makes Alicent so strong this season. She is guilty. She is trapped. She is responsible for much of what happened. But she is also a woman who has watched the system she served strip her of usefulness the moment she became inconvenient. When she sees the bird and moves back toward shore, the scene feels less like an ending and more like a reset. Alicent may not know what she is yet, but she is not finished. Oscar Tully Finally Makes Harrenhal Matter Harrenhal has been weird, atmospheric, and full of strong images all season. But “The Red Sowing” finally gives that storyline a political jolt through Oscar Tully. Oscar arrives as a young lord everyone might underestimate, then immediately proves he understands the room better than Daemon does. He knows the Riverlords hate Daemon. He knows they are bound by oath but disgusted by what has been done in Rhaenyra's name. He knows Daemon needs them more than they need to like him. That is why the scene works. Oscar does not beat Daemon with strength. He beats him with leverage. Daemon has to let Willem Blackwood die because the Riverlords need proof that there will be consequences. It is a brutal public concession. It also may be the first useful thing Daemon has done at Harrenhal in weeks. Sir Simon Strong's reaction makes the whole thing even better. He looks like a man who dressed for a party and accidentally hosted a political execution. Daemon And Viserys: Does He Still Want The Crown? Daemon's vision of Viserys gives the Harrenhal story its emotional point. Viserys appears near the end of his life, broken down by the crown and by the burden of rule. He asks Daemon whether he still wants it. That question is the center of Daemon's whole story. He has spent so much of his life wanting recognition, power, love, and proximity to the throne that he may not know the difference between wanting the crown and wanting to be seen by his brother. Seeing Viserys in that state matters because it strips the crown of romance. The throne is not a prize. It is a burden that eats the person who carries it. The big question is whether Daemon has actually learned anything yet. The episode gives him insight, but insight only matters if it changes what he does next. Aemond Retreats From Rhaenyra's Dragons The ending of “The Red Sowing” is the episode's biggest power shift. Ulf flies Silverwing over King's Landing, and Aemond immediately reacts. He gets on Vhagar and chases the threat back toward Dragonstone. That reaction tells us something important: Aemond is still dangerous, but he is also impulsive enough to chase a provocation. Then he sees what Rhaenyra has built. Multiple dragons. Multiple riders. Rhaenyra standing in ash and confidence. Suddenly, Vhagar does not feel like an automatic win. Aemond turning back is a massive moment because it is one of the first times this season he looks genuinely checked. Not defeated, not broken, but checked. He came looking for prey and found a formation. For Team Black, that image is the victory of the episode. Rhaenyra did something dangerous and costly, but it worked. For now. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 Ending Explained The ending of “The Red Sowing” means Rhaenyra has changed the dragon math before the finale. Before this episode, Aemond and Vhagar were the overwhelming military problem. Team Black had dragons, but not enough effective riders to counter the largest dragon in the world. After the Red Sowing, Rhaenyra has Addam on Seasmoke, Hugh on Vermithor, Ulf on Silverwing, and her own Syrax in the field. That does not guarantee victory. It creates deterrence. Aemond sees the new reality and turns Vhagar around because the battlefield no longer belongs to him alone. But the ending also plants future danger. Rhaenyra has given enormous power to people she barely knows. Hugh and Ulf may be useful now, but loyalty, class resentment, legitimacy, and control are all still unresolved. The dragons may help her win the next move and complicate every move after that. What “The Red Sowing” Sets Up Next Episode 7 sets up the Season 2 finale by giving Team Black a dragon advantage and giving everyone else a reason to panic. Rhaenyra finally has the dragonriders she needs, but her methods are becoming more ruthless. Jace sees the long-term legitimacy danger in raising common-born dragonriders. Addam is now publicly tied to Seasmoke and privately tied to Corlys' family secret. Hugh becomes a serious new power by claiming Vermithor. Ulf becomes a chaotic new power by claiming Silverwing. Aemond learns that Vhagar can be deterred when Team Black has multiple dragons on the board. Aegon continues recovering with Larys close by, which may matter if Aemond overreaches. Alicent steps away from King's Landing, but her story clearly is not over. Daemon finally gains the Riverlands, though at the cost of another public compromise. Rhaena continues moving toward the wild dragon in the Vale.

After disagreements over their training styles, Johnny and Chozen challenge each other to a fight. Daniel learns that Chozen’s pride was wounded when Silver stabbed him in the back and Kumiko did not reply to his voice messages. Miguel tries to ease the tension between Sam and Tory while Robby attempts to make amends with Kenny, but he encounters Shawn, who tells him to leave Kenny alone. Robby and Miguel take on Shawn while Sam and Tory try to reason with Kenny into joining their dojo, but to no avail. After receiving a text message, Johnny goes to Coyote Creek, where Stingray tells him to retake the Cobra Kai brand with Kreese and Silver gone. The next morning, Johnny concedes and tells Daniel that Miyagi-Do has the right to represent the students in the Sekai Taikai, but he and Chozen still have their fight. After a talk with Shawn, Kenny joins Miyagi-Do. Elsewhere, Kreese enters Kim Da-eun’s dojo, telling the students that Cobra Kai is back. Episode 2: “The Prize” Written by: Joe Piarulli & Luan Thomas Directed by: Joel Novoa Air Date: July 18, 2024 Summary: Kreese proposes to Master Kim to have his dojo represent Cobra Kai in the Sekai Taikai, only to be turned down after Da-eun’s previous partnership with Silver ended in failure. Master Kim then agrees to the proposal if Kreese ventures to a remote island and recovers his ancient family knife deep within a cave. Kreese finds the knife, but is bitten by an albino cobra, causing him to see hallucinations of Silver and Johnny. Meanwhile, Miguel discovers that Kyler is the subject of hazing by a fraternity that has no plans of letting him in. With the help of Miguel, Demetri, Eli, and Brucks, Kyler takes down the fraternity at their party. After the Diaz apartment experiences a leaky ceiling due to clogged sewage pipes, Johnny gets a sales job at LaRusso Auto Group to save up for a new home. Upon conquering his inner demons and vanquishing his sole weakness, Kreese beheads the cobra and returns to Master Kim with the knife and the dead cobra’s head, determined to not allow anyone to stop him from his goal – not even Johnny. Episode 3: “Sleeper” Written by: Mattea Greene Directed by: Ralph Macchio Air Date: July 18, 2024 Summary: Kreese takes control of the Kim dojo training, focusing on the delinquent Kwon and molding him. That night, after some prodding by Kreese to use his anger for a purpose, Kwon defeats Yoon, the dojo’s top student, in a fight and rips off the King Cobra badge as a personal souvenir, affirming his role as the leader. At the Miyagi house, Daniel, Chozen, and Amanda discover a chest hidden under the floor. Upon opening the chest, they discover Mr. Miyagi co-owned a boxing gym and reportedly fled the country to China after he was wanted for assault and robbery in 1947. After noticing the friendship between Sam and Tory making them weak in their training, Johnny invites them to Devon’s home for a slumber party.

Anthony doubts himself after receiving a bloody nose from Kenny during the battle royale. Johnny confronts Barnes upon learning Devon did not make the cut. The next morning, Barnes has Hawk, Demetri, Devon, and Kenny run through the forest and capture two flags to determine the final lineup. Devon captures the first flag after Kenny suddenly experiences diarrhea while Demetri defeats Hawk to make the team. Kenny accuses Anthony of spiking his water with Mitch’s laxative, when in reality it was Devon, while Daniel suspects Johnny had a part in getting Devon in the lineup. Episode 5: “Best of the Best” Written by: Michael Jonathan Smith Directed by: Sherwin Shilati Air Date: July 18, 2024 Summary: Tory encounters Kreese while returning from the Medical Center, who warns her not to trust Miyagi-do. Daniel and Johnny decide have Sam, Tory, Miguel, and Robby fight each other to secure their spots as team captains. Tory returns home, only to discover her mother has passed away due to an undetected blood clot. On the day of the contest, Robby defeats Miguel to become male captain. During the girls’ fight, Tory displays aggression and is about to score the winning point when Daniel intervenes before she reveals to everyone of her mother’s death and leaves the team, forfeiting the female captain position to Sam. This incident causes an argument between Daniel and Johnny over how they should have handled the situation. Hawk is selected to take over Tory’s spot in the team, with Demetri being slightly displeased at the turn of events. As Robby and Sam are given their captain headbands, Daniel suddenly recognizes a similar headband from Mr. Miyagi’s chest and realizes his sensei fought in the Sekai Taikai too as a team captain and that his headband was actually bloodied at the ends, making Daniel question his beliefs. The Miyagi-Do team arrives in Barcelona for the tournament, where they encounter Kreese and Da-eun’s new four-member Cobra Kai representing South Korea, led by Kwon and Tory.

This week on "We Don't Wanna Podcast," join Zach and Scott as they dive deep into the darkness and drama of "Game of Thrones" Season 8, Episode 3 - "The Long Night." While this episode has polarized fans, our dipshit duo finds themselves mostly in favor, lauding its unique blend of non-stop action and poignant character moments. Prepare for a journey through an episode where the pacing is as sharp as Valyrian steel. It's rare to see a show pull off an hour-long battle that doesn't overstay its welcome, but "The Long Night" does just that. It masterfully slows down for reflective moments, then surges forward with adrenaline-pumping action, all while weaving individual storylines into a tapestry of epic storytelling. Highlights? Oh, we've got them! From the hauntingly beautiful scene of the Dothraki charging into the abyss, to the dragons clashing in a breathtaking aerial battle, this episode is a visual feast. And let's not forget the heart-stopping tension as Jon Snow races against time, culminating in Arya's legendary takedown of the Night King. Zach and Scott are here to break it all down: the strategy, the spectacle, and the suspense. Tune in for their insightful and humor-filled take on one of "Game of Thrones'" most ambitious episodes.

Deze aflevering is eerder op 08 september 2022 gepubliceerd. (Dipsaus is tot eind september 2023 met zomerstop. Tot die tijd zullen we afleveringen die voorheen achter een betaalmuur waren opnieuw publiceren).Yaay, onze Mariam is er dit keer eindelijk bij! In de derde aflevering "Second of His Name" bespreken Anousha, Ebissé en Mariam, samen met scenarioschrijver Manju Reijmer, de massive time jump, het gevecht tegen de Crabfeeder; het bizarre jachtfeest omdat een jongen twee jaar werd; de fysieke en mentale aftakeling van Koning Viserys. Rhea Rhea de raging, sulking teenager in verzet én Dae Dae, die zonder ook maar een woord uit te spreken voor een Panty Melting spektakel zorgde komen ook aan bod. Ook zien we steeds meer van de Valyrian clan en helaas daarmee ook the wigs, those damned wigs!Ook bespreken we kort de met bombarie onthaalde “Ring of Power(Naps)”, de prequel van Lord of The Rings. De meningen zijn verdeeld … De "Game of Thrones-universum is uitgebreid met de prequel-serie "House of the Dragon". In Dance of Dipsaus gaan we de hele series wekelijks ontleden. "House of the Dragon" draait om de Targaryan-dynastie, ongeveer 200 jaar vóór de gebeurtenissen van "Game of Thrones". Het is gebaseerd op delen van de roman "Fire & Blood" van George R.R. Martin uit 2018. We verwachten dat de show zijn voorganger en zijn eigen naam waarmaakt - met vuur, bloed en draken in overvloed.#DragonsYall #DemDragons #DanceofDipsausZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tyrion has a busy day. He surveys post-battle repair needs, meets with Symon Silver Tongue, inspects two new family heirlooms, is told by his father to do the impossible, gets marital advice from his father, and participates in a discussion regarding the Night's Watch. None of it is going to make his life any easier. Simon and Mackelly pour him a tall cup of Arbor Gold.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister surveys the damages done during the battle. The repair costs will well exceed what the crown has in its coffers. Before returning to the Red Keep, he and Bronn make a detour to visit the singer Symon Silver Tongue, in a run-down wine sink. Tyrion offers to pay the man to take his act on a tour of Essos. However, Symon instead tells Tyrion that if Tyrion can't get him a spot in the singing competition at the royal wedding, he'll sing a song about Tyrion's affair with Shea for all to hear. Afterward, Tyrion tells Bronn to make sure Symon's body is never found.Next, Tyrion learns he's been summoned by his father. Tywin Lannister shows Tyrion two new Valyrian steel swords he's commissioned. One is for Joff and the other for Jamie. Next order of business is the city repairs. Tyrion reports what he's found and that there's not enough coin to pay for the repairs. Tywin tells him he'll find the coin or Tywin will find someone who can. The topic then turns toward Tyrion's marriage to Sansa Stark. Tywin wants it consummated immediately. Tyrion asks about his father's betrothal plans for Cersei and Willas Tyrell. Tywin informs him that Mace Tyrell rejected the notion.As Tywin begins to mention replacement suitors, Grand Maester Pycelle arrives. He's gotten a letter from Castle Black asking for more men. Tywin couldn't care less about the Night's Watch's woes. However, he does see an opportunity to put a Lannister loyalist in charge of the Black Brothers. He wants Pycelle to respond that the crown can't help at the moment but King Joffrey sends his best wishes to his faithful friend Lord Janos Slynt.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister.

By Roger CormierI don't know what 2030 is going to look like. Mets owner Steve Cohen made his billions doing his darndest to predict what the stock market would do, so he would like to think he does know something about the future. Today, Cohen is a loser. The Mets were outbid by the Minnesota Twins. If thought of just this way, you would be thinking we must be in the past, the Wilpon era. I just know that today there is embarrassment. The Mets had an All-Star, a player proclaimed by Cohen himself to be the "missing piece" for three whole weeks. They let him get away. The truth is we don't know how this will ultimately play out. Maybe the Mets are right, and Correa's ankle is made of saltwater taffy, and he'll have an injury-plagued second half of his career. Maybe Correa will regret not taking the deal where he'd have to take a physical every year to keep his contract going. Maybe Brett Baty's ankle is made of Valyrian steel and he'll be a superstar. Maybe Eduardo Escobar will shake off his subpar 2022 and get back to hitting the way we know he can. Maybe the Mets will sign Manny Machado to play third next offseason (pending physical pending physical pending phy —). Maybe Machado will stink. It goes on and on. I just know about today. You can't win the World Series in the winter, but that's only true in the literal sense. I'm embarrassed and annoyed right now. It feels like the Mets blew it. The only guarantees we have about the future are that Steve Cohen is going to overreact and try to make another big splash and Gary Cohen will have something funny to say about this whole mishegas during the first Spring Training telecast.  This is a public episode.

This week Ender and James breakdown and review episode 7 of HBO's House of the Dragon "Driftmark". Episode Overview King Viserys and his court attend Lady Laena's funeral in Driftmark. Rhaenyra and Daemon reunite and are physically intimate. Viserys fails to reconcile with Daemon. Prince Aemond claims Vhagar as his dragon, causing an altercation with his cousins and nephews in which Lucerys slashes Aemond's eye with a knife. Wanting retribution, Queen Alicent lunges at Lucerys with Viserys' Valyrian steel dagger to gouge out his eye. Rhaenyra blocks Alicent but her arm is wounded. After claims that Rhaenyra's children are bastards, Viserys decrees anyone questioning their legitimacy will be silenced. Hand of the King, Otto Hightower later tells Alicent they will prevail, while Rhaenyra and Daemon unite against Alicent and her supporters. To continue the true Valaryon lineage, Princess Rhaenys urges that Lord Corlys pass his title through their granddaughter, Baela, claiming Laenor did not sire Rhaenyra's children. Ser Qarl appears to murder Laenor, with Rhaenys and Corlys believing a charred body is their son's. Meanwhile, Daemon and Rhaenyra privately marry in the old Valyrian Dragonlord tradition to perpetuate the pure Targaryen bloodline. After faking his death, Laenor secretly flees Driftmark with Ser Qarl.

This show features local Denver comedians in a space where they can say whatever they want, and we are not a success until we have someone lose their job at SNL. This week on the podcast we have the one and only, Damon Howard. The episode opens with Evan explaining just how offensive his old summer camp was, the group talks about the shifting comedy scene in Denver, and Dylan recaps his trip to Durango for the Four Corners Comedy festival. Dylan walks us though his "first love", Evan asks about whether he'll end up in hell, and Damon tells us how he ended up with a mouth full of puss. Damon makes a Big Announcement, tells his story of the first time he smoked (it was a hard time smoking with Russians), and we meet "Vacation Damon". A talk about scary movies, leads to some spooky stories, haunted houses experience and witnessing things close to exorcisms. Dylan educates us on the importance of Valyrian bloodline, we watch a few videos and Damon critiques our comedy. (Dylan no longer wraps the cord) The episode ends with a new rule from the 420 Code and our comedic influences. Throughout the show, we break down jokes, tell stories from the local scene and discuss all of the important things happening all around the world.

In King's Landing läuten die Hochzeitsglocken. Thronerbin Rhaenyra soll mit Laenor, dem ältesten Sohn aus dem Hause Velaryon vermählt werden. Eigentlich ein genialer Schachtzug für den König Viserys, wären da nicht diverse Intrigen an seinem Hof zugange. Was hat die Liebschaft seiner Tochter mit einem Ritter der Garde für Folgen, speziell wenn dieser einen weiteren Schwur brechen möchte? Haben die Mitglieder des Hauses Royce Grund zur Annahme, dass Prinz Daemon den Tod ihrer Erben zu verantworten hat? Findet die Königin Alicent nicht nur einen, sondern gleich zwei neue Verbündete am Hofe? Und wie erfreut ist ihr Gemahl, dass sie in einem grünen Kleid zu spät zur Hochzeit erscheint?

We're back again with another episode of Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin give some spoiler free reactions to the first two episodes of Amazon's Lord of the Rings prequel, The Rings of Power. They chat about their initial thoughts before diving into the limited constructive criticism and the unabashedly absurd hate the show has gotten. The nerds talk about the butthurt boys who are nit picky about the details of a fantasy world and the butthurt boys who are mad that there are non-white characters in this show. The dorks wrap things up with another Ask Practical Doug segment featuring a question about whether avoiding a friend's Game of Thrones-themed wedding featuring required high-Valyrian language makes them a bad person.

Luister exclusief naar de hele aflevering op Podimo!Yaay, onze Mariam is er dit keer eindelijk bij! In de derde aflevering "Second of His Name" bespreken Anousha, Ebissé en Mariam, samen met scenarioschrijver Manju Reijmer, de massive time jump, het gevecht tegen de Crabfeeder; het bizarre jachtfeest omdat een jongen twee jaar werd; de fysieke en mentale aftakeling van Koning Viserys. Rhea Rhea de raging, sulking teenager in verzet én Dae Dae, die zonder ook maar een woord uit te spreken voor een Panty Melting spektakel zorgde komen ook aan bod. Ook zien we steeds meer van de Valyrian clan en helaas daarmee ook the wigs, those damned wigs!Ook bespreken we kort de met bombarie onthaalde “Ring of Power(Naps)”, de prequel van Lord of The Rings. De meningen zijn verdeeld … De "Game of Thrones-universum is uitgebreid met de prequel-serie "House of the Dragon". In Dance of Dipsaus gaan we de hele series wekelijks ontleden. "House of the Dragon" draait om de Targaryan-dynastie, ongeveer 200 jaar vóór de gebeurtenissen van "Game of Thrones". Het is gebaseerd op delen van de roman "Fire & Blood" van George R.R. Martin uit 2018. We verwachten dat de show zijn voorganger en zijn eigen naam waarmaakt - met vuur, bloed en draken in overvloed.Abonneer je VIA PODIMO! #DragonsYall #DemDragons #DanceofDipsausZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode three of House of the Dragon was a splendid spectacle - from a fiery beach battle, to a lavish glamping party, to a chaotic suicide run. "Second of His Name" was a pivotal episode for several characters, and we can't wait to see what awaits them in the weeks to come. On this week's episode of the Night's Cast, Vanessa and Petra discuss teenage angst, the difficulties of running a kingdom (and handling a strongwilled daughter), and Daemon's plot armor of Valyrian steel.

James and Ender discuss the 2nd episode of HBO's new Original Series House of the Dragon. Show Overview: Six months after Rhaenyra is named the heir, Daemon illegally occupies Dragonstone, supported by loyal City Watch guards. Meanwhile, Prince-Admiral Craghas Drahar, known as the Crab Feeder, menaces the Stepstones at the Triarchy's behest. Rhaenyra's suggestion to show force against Daemon is dismissed, and she is instead relegated to appointing a new Kingsguard knight. Ignoring others' advice, she chooses Ser Criston, the only knight with actual battle experience. Ser Otto's daughter, Lady Alicent, has been privately consoling Viserys since his wife's death; she urges him and Rhaenyra to discuss Queen Aemma and his kingly duty to remarry. Lord Corlys and his consort, Rhaenys, propose that Viserys unite their Valyrian houses through marriage with their twelve-year-old daughter, Laena Velaryon. The Small Council learns Daemon stole a dragon egg and intends to marry his mistress Mysaria as a second spouse. Ser Otto and a small detachment sail to Dragonstone to retrieve the egg. Rhaenyra follows on her dragon, Syrax, and forces Daemon to renounce his false claims and return the egg to her. Viserys announces he will wed Lady Alicent, angering Lord Corlys, who then seeks out Daemon to propose an alliance. Show Episode Director: Greg Yaitanes Show Episode Writer: Ryan Condal

The podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer, which recaps the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode by episode, invited me to answer their listeners' questions of language that the show had provoked. Together with BVTS hosts Kristin Russo and Jenny Owen Youngs, I tackle the etymology of coven, vampire/vampyre, wigging out, the name Buffy and Bovril; as well as google as a verb, conlang on TV, and why Latin is so often the language of spells and spookiness.

Jon gets a pardon and a shiny new sword from Jeor Mormont. His buddies are all excited but Jon is preoccupied with news from the south. Maester Aemon sympathizes and reveals a shocker. Simon and Mackelly continue their watch. Chapter Review: Jon has burned his hand in finally killing off Othor. While he's nursing it, Lord Commander Mormont presents him with a sword. It is the family sword of the Mormonts, it too was burned but the Valyrian steel survived. The new handle replaces the bear with a direwolf. Jon decides to keep the name, Longclaw, as it works as well for a wolf as a bear. Even better news for Jon is that Alliser Thorne has been sent to King's Landing to make the case for more troops, with the help of Jafar Flowers' trusty and un-decomposing hand. Jon is very concerned about the latest rumors from the south: Robb calling the banners and marching south to fight for their father. Jon is summoned to help maester Aemon feed his ravens. The old man reminds Jon of his vows. Jon doesn't think Aemon understands, but the maester reveals that he is Aemon Targaryen so, yeah, he's had a few family setbacks that he has had to endure in his time at the wall.    Characters/Places/Names/Events: Eddard "Ned" Stark - Erstwhile hand of the King, Lord of Winterfell, and deceased King Robert's closest friend. Currently languishing in a King's Landing cell for treason. Jon Snow - Bastard son of Ned Stark. Recently sworn brother of the Night's Watch. Samwell Tarly - Brother of the Night's Watch.
