Daenerys Can't Hardly Wait May 08, 2019

Are you worried about your money in the market? You're in luck. Kevin and Andrew have the system for you to double, triple, or maybe even quadruple your money by betting on Game of Thrones. It's not gambling. It's an investment. With two episodes remaining, join the fellas as they break down the endgame and about how Tormund Giantsbane is pretty much like Ethan Embry in 1998.

Mormont Suicide Squeeze Scores the Run May 01, 2019

The fellas are back to recap Season 8, Episode 3, "The Long Night." They kick it off with some pretty serious wild fire hot takes, get into some "It is Known" predictions, and square off on what is going to happen in King's Landing the rest of this season. They also induct a few fallen soldiers into the Hall of Fame and induct a few listeners into the Book of Brothers. Grab some Dornish Wine, and join us as we Make Westeros Great Again.

Investigating the Valyrian Steel Dossier Apr 21, 2019

Season 8, Episode 2 "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is over and everyone is going to die. Just like the characters in the show, our heroes--Kevin and Andrew--gather around the fire, consume some wine, and contemplate their mortality as death marches. But mostly they tell some above average jokes and do a little gambling. The fellas also predict whether each character will survive next week's Battle of Winterfell. Smoke 'em while you got 'em, next week is going to be a bloodbath.

Return of the Branslayer Apr 16, 2019

Brothers and sisters, Kevin and Andrew are back with a vengeance to talk about the last season of Game of Thrones. The fellas are glad to be back as the cure for the common lame Game of Thrones recap podcast. Major topics include the MVP of the Episode, power ranking of the reunions, advice on how Daenerys can be friends with Sansa, and then a whole lot of gambling talk. Pour yourself a nice Dornish Red Water and enjoy!

Ass-u-me the worst Aug 28, 2017

Andrew and Kevin just watched episode 7 of season 7 "The Dragon and the Wolf." Kevin ranks the most likely candidates to enter the hall of fame this season. Tyene Sand has a shot. The guys also talk about Cersei and Jaime's break-up playlist. Spoiler alert: it includes a lot of Dashboard Confessional. We also pour one out for the homie Little Finger and light a candle for Tormund. We pray he will be found in the wreckage. The lone wolf dies, but the podcast survives.

Puff goes the magic dragon Aug 21, 2017

Andrew and Kevin have thoughts on Season 7, Episode 6 "Beyond the Wall." The guys finally come around on Jorah. He isn't just for the ladies anymore. Jorah can ball.

Andrew and Kevin also discuss a more sensible way to decide the fate of the universe: a Space Jam-styled basketball game between the living and the dead. This may not be the bravest podcast around, just the drunkest.

Eastwatch All-Star Team Edition Aug 14, 2017

The guys are back to talk Season 7 Episode 5 EASTWATCH.

Come on in, grab a cup of ale from the ping pong table, and let's all Make Westeros Great Again!

Episode 14 - Ep. 7.1 Uncle Kraken Jul 17, 2017

The fellas are back to talk about the Season 7 Premiere, DRAGONSTONE, or as we think they should have called it, Uncle Kraken. We talk MVP, Box Score, and other things like that. We also bring in two new segments -- "Royal Gift Guide" (What gift can you give a queen that already has it all?) and "On the Nose Cameos" in light of Ed what's his name's appearance. We have a few cameos that we want to see before this thing is said and done. We also hit some #WILDFIREHOTTAKES and #ITISKNOWNPREDICTIONS in addition to a considerable amount of talk on renewable energy vs. mining in Westeros and which one is bringing more jobs to the country. After all, we're all here to MAKE WESTEROS GREAT AGAIN!
