"can you eat horse sushi" i think those food descriptions are getting to you.

[@franksloe5087]

..steak tartar, started off as horse sushi

[@Br4nTheBuilder]

Please don't stop after book 1! PLEASE!

I kind of assumed the Milksnakes have a practice of milking snakes for their venom to coat arrowheads in or something, but it definitely sounds like one of the masturbation euphemisms Tyrion uses at his trial.

[@sandeinplayz4566]

I think Tyrion tends to blow his leg pain out of proportion, because we all know he can walk, run, ride a horse, climb stairs and mountains, do flips. He's fine. I'm sure they hurt sometimes, and probably a bit more than a typical person's legs, but he's obviously not handicapped. On at least two occasions, Tyrion is carried like a kid because he has to get somewhere and his legs supposedly hurt too much to walk. That's the reason he gives; I'm not entirely convinced it's even the real reason. It's been noted by many that Tyrion really just wants to be loved, so I think that his "look how little I am, and my legs hurt sooooo bad, and I can't take another step, carry me!" is a way that he's learned that he can get relatively gentle, non-sexual human contact, because that's something he's craved all his life.

[@TrippyFox]

I like this and now it's canon in my head

[@miketrujillo3677]

Good analyzing

[@boxxylegoplaymobil8906]

14:30 Lharys, Mohor and Kurleket are references to the Three Stooges Larry, Moe and Curly bizarrely. in a feast for crows theres a reference to the three little pigs where the northman (wolves) burn down a farm, a wooden holdfast and are stopped by the stone Sow's Horn of House Hogg. George Martin is a very strange man. He also included gods from his early works from the 60s for the deities of the Free Cities.

[@Maya-fp6id]

okay that's fucking cool thank you for commenting

[@Kevinb906]

Yea, this really should go all the way through the series. If it takes 5 years, who cares, we can be patient. We still won't have book 7 by then!

[@dylanbusby7851]

Prediction creeps ever closer to true

[@incanusolorin2607]

Fuck! You were right

[@Guinnessdrnkr1234]

More like 12 years from the date of the op message

Pretty sure GRR Martin rolls a d100 every time he starts a new chapter to determine who and how many will die.

The mere fact that I don't comment as often as oyster and the cooking girl doesn't mean i don't listen and enjoy every episode, mate.

[@hairlessoyster3689]

HomoSapiens yeah you tell 'em

[@miketrujillo3677]

When i tried it i got bullied out

[@ahzidaljun]

I really like it when you say "this is this" and then you say "but it is because of this!" and you go into an indepth explanation of what's what and why people would behave this way and why someone would be touched on this particular level, it's really good. thank you for these videos

[@diego-lima]

It's always awesome to listen to your readings while I break my fast!

[@catathielemann3239]

Happy 10.000 subscribers! Also... Hairless Oyster and I got a shout out and I'm kinda freaking out

[@hairlessoyster3689]

[@catathielemann3239]

Cheers to you too, Oyster :)

[@zregoob]

[@YGHF]

You're welcome! :) Hope we get TWOW date release before you finish till ADWD which we all hope you reach too. Some POVs are gonna be reaaaally interesting. Like the Ironborn and Dorne blokes. (got that from you mate...that too xd) Cheers!

who needs to sleep anyway, right?

[@catathielemann3239]

Wow, this one is long... Good thing I have a poppy seed cake baking right now. Thanks, Alt :)

[@diego-lima]

Cata Thielemann it seems you bake often!

[@catathielemann3239]

Yes, I'm a cook and baking is my job. I work from home, so I usually bake late in the evening

[@hairlessoyster3689]

Cata Thielemann mmmmmmmmmmm poppy seed caaaaaaaaaake.

[@shieraseastar9300]

You cannot keep telling us about all these delicious treats without sharing with the rest of the group, Cata!!! ;)

[@catathielemann3239]

Shiera, I'd love to share my cakes with you, but I live a bit far. Anyways, I'd love to share recipes and techniques, if you'd like to bake :)

[@hairlessoyster3689]

I have a job where I only work hard a few weeks a year. I figured this life thing out but I'm crazy busy this week. Love this one . And thanks buddy this shit is gold

[@MichaelGthedongerking]

I was waiting for this episode all day. I was wanting to listen to it before it got dark while I did bench presses, but it came too late.

[@01MIA09]

Please don't stop after book 1. I love knowing about some subtleties and meaning/importance behind each chapter that I missed.

[@alicep1096]

We could tell you weren't really thinking when you started it lol. It would be cool for some atmosphere if you had a cocktail with ice bouncing of the glass and the sound of a gentle fire burning in the background.

[@DrewbyWan]

Stuck at work until midnight, so I have to wait to listen to this. Can't wait though. Thanks Alt, cheers all!

[@deffientllynotjalenbutler1736]

Really shows how Tyrion being smart is an asset

[@nebsirrah1234]

congrats on 10000! we need all the books though not just one!

[@reinhardo4118]

just binge watched all these while playing ck2 got mod and now i'm sad :(

[@catathielemann3239]

Don't be, there'll be a new episode tomorrow

[@shieraseastar9300]

Tyrion may be the lowest Lannister on the totem pole, but he's still a Lannister through and through! Which means as well as having nice characteristics he still maintains all those asshole Lannister traits LOL!! PS Milk snakes are a species of king snake common in the US. They are nonvenomous but some of them mimic venomous coral snakes.

[@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319]

Your analysis of Catelyn being in total denial about Littlefinger starts to skirt towards Cat being a Covert Narcissist.

[@DruganBifta]

do aaallll the books!

[@lythaogg]

i like to put things in the "little box thats me"

[@55bueller]

I recently got knocked up by a horse! Best Freudian slip ever!!

[@WOLFxLORD]

graceless? isn't this the same dwarf that did a fucking flip and hand stand for no reason while talking to Jon?

[@oberstul1941]

Lharys, Mohor and Kurleket are all references to The Three Stooges: Larry, Moe and Curly. Besides that and the burping - good video.

[@Kevinb906]

The Inception of puppeteering

[@btarczy5067]

I think Tyrion being a cruel jackass is pretty consistent in the books. Compared to complete monster people like Joffrey or Cersei he might look like quite the good guy but as soon as someone slights him he'll become a resentful and sadistic shit about it. All that is quite understandable and a flaw very fitting for him. Even the whole smug advice about wearing your greatest perceived flaw as armour is true for him because from a young age with some exceptions his family despised him for simply existing. There was no right way to act to get especially his father on his side and even if his coping mechanism isn't suitable for every situation what he had to learn to survive can't be unlearned easily. All that makes me think George's understanding of psychology is what makes the characters so relatable and believable. The flawed perspectives and messed up information that come with that are a huge part of the appeal for me. It's very unique in that way. In my headcanon the constant descriptions of food are there to make the characters more human - we think about food all the time, it's one of our main things! I just wished sometimes that the characters were about 5-6 years older across the board but that's a different can of creeps. Oh, and Tyrion‘s fight scenes are complete shit. Complete shit.

[@rickvangils100]

35:13 I think this line also implies how tyrion believes the lannisters generally come out on top one way or another. Cheeky bit of foreshadowing to how the conflict between the lannisters and the starks will eventually play out.

[@KlaraL-_-]

Great chapter! :) Although you declaration at the beginning (we´re abridging this, superspeed) didn´t really... well... almost 38 minutes? :D But I´m not complaining, every second is worth it.

[@Namecomelater]

big ups! this series is the only thing getting me through my coursework

[@skullshapedbox]

: D congrats on 10,000!! that is a huge milestone. I can't wait to see where this goes :)

[@NostalgiaChubby]

gratz on 10k...well deserved!

[@devastatax6356]

Love it dude, keep em comin'

[@mokebanana]

ksjfhaksd the monopoly reference!! i said it exactly the same time as good ol' shwifty

[@TehSaluko]

ty for this channel :) love it

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

About the bit around 21:20 - I wouldn't be surprised if GRRM was mulling around the possibility of Petyr's Catfish fixation NOT being unrequited at all but actually being the result of some secret affair from the past 10 - 15 years that Cat covered up. What if he was looking into the possibility of Sansa actually being Littlefinger's daughter? Whether or not the perception of creepiness is heightened exponentially by this or recontextualized into a father broken up and bitter over the distance he was forced to keep from his child due to social strata I'll let you decide. Still pretty fucking creepy, though.

[@Kriegerdammerung]

The chapter comes to live when I am here

[@joeybonzo347]

keep it up paulie

[@faisalkamal4319]

Damn Catelyn is waterboarding Tyrion

[@TGFPdan]

Are you going to be taking a break in between books?? You are making good time and the videos keep getting better and longer, I can't wait for the next Tyrion chapter with the trial.

[@calikal1968]

Actually Milksnakes are a real thing, amazingly enough some of the strange things on the books, result to be real things...

[@toxogandhi]

If you were going for one of the Scandinavian tongues when saying four in some other language, it is indeed "Fire", which sounds like "Fear".

[@christinakuba8251]

Why didn’t Tyrion mention to Cat that he heard about Bran’s recovery while he was at the wall and then decided to gift Bran plans for a modified saddle on his way back south from the wall? He can tell her about how he thought about how to modify the saddle himself, drew it out and wrote instructions while he was at the wall and on his way to Winterfell. Bran’s murderer surely wouldn’t do this.

[@mah7999]

You can believe in dragons and shadowbinders and glasscandles and yet in this universe a dwarf can't be nimble?? What the fuck.

[@mishasubin]

Yeah cuz dwarfs exist in our world whereas otherworldly things don't. It's perfectly normal to question such logic in books/movies because are an extension of real life. Just because it's a fantasy setting doesn't mean rules can bend 180

Horse sushi is actually a thing btw

[@HelciusCabral]

sleep is overrated

[@Shirafune161]

I'm not saying Catelyn is not smart, and I don't actually know exactly how this turned out for her. But if I had to lie about where I'm taking a member of a powerful enemy house, whom I just kidnapped on flimsy evidence, my first choice wouldn't be my home. You know, where my teenage son is left in charge. And where other two of my younger kids also live. With one of them having been handicappes AND almost assassinated. And another being a toddler.

Milk snakes might sound funny or suggestive, but there is actually a species of snake called milksnake. You can find information on it here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_snake (or just fire up MGS3 Snake Eater)
