Hi everyone, this is your spoiler warning. If you haven't seen episode 3, watch that first and then come back. Trust me. They

think he's

gone. What happened? What do you mean? They think that died. What? Yeah. No. I'm sorry. No, um, no, I can't have that. Hello.

Welcome to the official succession podcast from HBO. I'm Cara Swisher and the moment we've been dreading has finally arrived.

My dad's dying. I'm just

going to do facts, okay? What if this is a drill? What if it's a big fucking test? This nation has lost a passionate champion and an American titan and we lost a beloved father. Thank you.

Thank God. I have a few very special guests to unpack this episode that is destined for TV history. Series creator Jesse Armstrong, director, Mark Mylod and later Logan Roy himself back from the dead, the legendary Brian Cox. He'd be a lot better off if he didn't love his children. He'd be a happier man, but he loves his children and that's a conflict. He can't deal with the pain of it, the fact that he loves his children

and they don't honor

him. Episode three titled Connor's wedding was written by Jesse and directed by Mark. We open with Logan blowing off Connor's wedding. Instead, he's headed to Sweden to meet with Lucas Matzen. The rest of the Roy kids are on a massive boat when they get a call that Logan has collapsed on his private jet. And just like that, he's gone. And while others scramble over the fate of the company, Kendall, Roman and Schiff come together to face a future without their father.

We are highly liable to misinterpretation. So what we do today will always be what we did the

day our father died.
