Boars, Gore, and Swords

In Ivan's now favorite and Red's least favorite episode, we attempt to cover the next chapter in the Dunk and Egg series until something goes horribly, horribly awry. There's a lot happening in this one, but I assure any listeners there are ZERO spoilers for D&E, so listen freely. "Dunk and Egg" song via Ser Daniel Preston.

Red and Ivan finish up The Hedge Knight as well as getting into The Third Shift, predicting the victor of the Superb Owl despite no Bannerman caring, puberty-age Ivan reading extended universe Star Wars fiction, the Pearlman siblings, Lord Ashford dominating H-O-R-S-E, homonyms and Crazy Horse, Baelor Breakspear and other great names, Arya and her 10,000 ships, Beesbury, Brightflame getting kicked in the mouth, Warren Buffet and others in the Upper Middle Class, how to take notes on an iPad, dragging your enemy by the foot, and the rare happy ending.

Ivan and Red enter the world of Dunk and Egg to discuss the first part of The Hedge Knight! This week Ivan and Red discuss spitting words into brain holes, infallibility, "on accident" vs "by accident", another question from Andrea Boettcher via Chuck Klusterman, the correct time to read Dunk & Egg, Ivan's childhood teeth brushing policy, Lady puppeteers, tall drinks of water, more Star Wars prequel talk, ransoming armor, and more more more. Next week we'll cover the rest of The Hedge Knight. "Dunk and Egg" song via Ser Daniel Preston.
