[@thatguydrew73]

Listening to this 4 years after it streamed and the winds of winter still isn’t finished

[@shutit8949]

neither is acok abridged

[@miketrujillo3677]

We're here forever

[@samwinchester1326]

We're doomed 😊

[@davidharrison7825]

All our hopes will turn to ashes in our mouths 🥰🥰🥰

[@acady4460]

One day my prince will come (more Davos chapters)

[@evancarlson5805]

It's surreal hearing someone talk about Tyrek without saying anything about horses.

[@faisalkamal4319]

I like how Stannis is eating bootstraps in storm's end while Danerys is being born

[@Ghiscari]

“I feel like there only should be one moment where the capital is burning” This aged like a fine milk

[@mementomori771]

Shwift anytime a character is annoyed "is this an insecurity"

[@theOwnuts]

Schwifting starts at 2:24 :)

[@AltSchwiftX]

Thanks for listening everyone! And thanks Almesad98 for the donation (:

[@harrypicard6995]

No, Thank you..

[@ethnomusicologist1]

Deepak Rao nice msg man !

[@rubbish_kat]

Petyr is like the proto incel. Gets rejected once in favor of a bigger, buffer dude and decides to make it the whole worlds problem.

[@shazzy544]

1:36:00 I think theres a kind of interesting parallel here between Tyrion and Chella. Chella takes her opponents ears to give them a chance to win it back, because them being alive heightens her prestige essentially, while also making it more dangerous for her. Tyrion continually insults and aggravates people and does not kill them (for example, not killing Pycelle/locking him away permanently) purely because of his love of "the game" of winding people up, exactly the same as Chella.

[@w0ttheh3ll]

true

[@verifiedactualgamer]

Starts at 2:24

[@dragonrider4339]

I loved when Tyrian told the mountain man “ cut off his manhood feed it to the goats” 😂 there are no goats half man.. well make due! 😂😂 his banter with the mountain men was funny.. 😂

[@greenmanofthewoods6060]

I don't know why I get so happy when I see these haha...

[@stephaniemorris1706]

Reece Foreman because there so damn great (:

[@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319]

1:10:17 Then again, if Tyrion's aware that Cersei is a Narcissist, he is moving in the right direction. Since the nicer you are to a Narcissist, the more the Narcissist will continue to hound and harass you, since they perceive kindness as a kind of weakness to be exploited.

[@btarczy5067]

I want a "Solid Hello Rock" tattoo that plays the Arrested Development jingle when you press it. Not sure where it would go but I will be sure to show it to potential employers.

[@jessrandyss]

27:25 blessed be, schwifty

[@cathsaigh2197]

Wheel of Time has a lot more prophesies. It has secret identities too, though perhaps less so, depending on which ones count.

[@oberstul1941]

Tyrion might have his insecurities, but I don't think that his constant referring to his own stature and condition in a derogatory manner underlines an insecurity, because remember what he told Jon about "making of one's weakness one's shied/strength and they'll never be able to harm you with it". Cheers!

[@conormurphy4328]

Yep

[@humblegamer7876]

no he tells himself that as part of his insecurity the whole point is that it's bad advice he projects onto bastard and cripples because that's how he views himself etc

[@oberstul1941]

@@humblegamer7876 being a fictional book, that bit of advice may yet turn out to be good or bad in the end; it all depends on how much a gardener/architect GRRM fancies himself to be; IRL tho, I think Tyrion's advice to Jon was good and solid. "don't forget who you are, maybe make some fun of it so you won't get high and mighty and don't listen to the haters". I know a number of people who (most probably independently of Tyrion's asoif advice) took that to heart and didn't suffer for it.

[@kyleyjs]

@Alyssa Ravenheart there's a difference between accepting yourself and touting your flaws every chance you get. For example, let's say a person is dumb, accepting themselves would look something like asking for help when unsure, asking additional questions during explanations and deferring to others judgement over yours more often. Tyrion's use of the "accept yourself" advice would be something like "perhaps you can help me since I'm so fucking stupid." It's good advice, the issue is Tyrion never follows it, he doesn't accept himself, he's drenched in self-hatred, self-pity and bitterness for everyone. This comes out not in "using his flaws as armor" but instead as reminding everyone he cannot be anything more than an imp. Just like the aforementioned dumb person, if you constantly remind everyone that you're stupid you'll never be seen as anything more than stupid rather than giving people a chance to think more of you, you define yourself for them.

[@christiangarrity6889]

I think these things may be one and the same

[@DasGam3rz]

Ah yes before the show ended. Good times.

[@aribafaheem7847]

The star sportsman thing is so true around here. Imran Khan was the captain of the Pakistani cricket team in the 1992 World Cup where Pakistan won, and now he leads a major political party and is a member of the national assembly.

[@anabolicjesus6717]

Yea what about Romario aye. Star footballer famous for partying and womanizing during his career which inspired the next generation of brazilians to waste their talent in night clubs who is now like some fucking senator lvl big balls government hombre in brazil

[@josephforgione54]

Alt shwift has become my new grrm... years per episode now:( between grrm shwift and glidus I just torture myself with u finished series

[@deffientllynotjalenbutler1736]

I continue to enjoy

[@margaritaquiroga8712]

I'm catching up and I'm a little sad because there will be no more abridges to listen to... 😭😭😭

[@drk680]

666th like. The impact this will have on the internet and my legacy couldn’t possibly be smaller but here we are.

[@KlaraL-_-]

Amazing chapter, thank you! It was good to see some Varys again.

[@ethnomusicologist1]

Klara L conleth hill is from my part of the world , one time my dog was doing a pee and conleth had to wait to pass by, my dog almost peed on varys !!

[@RadMad789]

Missed the live stream, but shout out to the #schwiftysquad

[@stephaniemorris1706]

Maddy C I did too :(

[@adipsous]

Oh, god, that story of Mary the Elephant.

[@Taurickk]

Loving the shout out for goon-sacks aka the Frankston Handbag

[@merrittanimation7721]

Tyrion, acting Hand for Tywin. Timmet, acting Hand for Tyrion. Lommy Greenhands, acting Hand for Timmet. Old Nan, acting Hand for Lommy Greenhands. Nimble Dick Crabb, acting Hand for Old Nan. Then of course Acting Hand for Nimble Dick Crabb, Tywin.

[@WorthlessWinner]

1:27:00 interesting! that's the scene that made me realize the show was unsalvagable

[@dodes2698]

I have a riddle for you: Two Alts are in a room and beckon a viewer to kill the other, Alt Shift X says 'I make high quality media with professionalism, kill At Schwift X' while Alt Schwift X says 'I make authentic improvisational media with viewer interaction, kill Alt Shift X'; who lives, who dies?

[@jovial.milieu]

It's a trick question, because Alt Schwift X takes a hidden hello rock out of his pocket, and throws it at Alt Shift X's head! Solved.

[@ceilingfanenthusiast6041]

Alt Shift dies every time

[@Kriegerdammerung]

1:41:48 it was Varys who told Lord Eddard that, in Eddard XV, AGOT. "Honour is for suckers", lol A pity Juan knocked our beloved narrator with the 2×4 plank :/

[@skippycoulter]

Some phone browsers let you listen to youtube in the background

[@faisalkamal4319]

Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated -Arya

[@faisalkamal4319]

The kingslayer 🐗

[@MdB92]

Hey Schwift, could you ask a certain Alt Shift X to make a video about Shae? Her story arc, book vs tv show, and whether she really loved Tyrion and when (and why) she exactly started betraying him (by going over to Tywin)?

[@deffientllynotjalenbutler1736]

My enjoyment proceeds

[@deffientllynotjalenbutler1736]

I enjoyed

[@calikal1968]

It happened again... I missed it... wierd thing is that I didn’t get any warning... But the good news is to wake up to a new chapter of Acok XD ! Hi to all Schwifty Sqwad! And as usual thank you Alt! Have all a nice Sunday! Edit: Yeahhhhhhh podcastttttttt!!! Double thank you!

[@cathsaigh2197]

Is the *sellsword* really a sellsword if he doesn't choose the gold? I don't think cats feel inferior to statues, they have more confidence than that.

[@rodneyruxin5986]

+Rob Stewart, please keep making abridged episodes

[@markgonzalez107]

i thought Shwift was about to Aslan us with the i was there bit.

[@get_rhythm]

I liked a lot about the Yuuzhan Vong, and the idea that the civilization being a looming threat, a fleet in being, influencing the decisions of some of the greatest anatagonists of the EU, added some depth and necessary perspective to the story. However, some of the living planet related twists to the story were really dumb. They hate the force because their mommy planet took it from them for being bad warlike kiddies? C'mon.

[@kaybee4850]

Eventually it's 2 dwarfs 1 vessel

[@hermeticascetic]

I didn't think varus was threatening Tyrion. I looked at it as him helping Tyrion realize exactly where he was. I always thought he had a bit of an empathetic relationship with him because of his being a eunuch

[@fulviopontarollo2952]

Wait is this the longest episode ever done?

[@imnotamon]

I miss listening to these live streams, give schwifty a brew and a mic and you’ll get fucking gold

[@crewchannel4591]

Smiling friends is kind of like GOT when you think about it. There's magic but also way more brutal realism.

[@ILikedGooglePlus]

1:37:32

[@STOMMEKLEGE]

Damn what a coincidence I just read this chapter

[@ianwinter514]

gesundheit= health; good health

[@QueenDaenerysTargaryen]

Tyrion freed his brother. He committed treason.🔥🐉

[@adamverchimak20]

No more Westwood until we get more uploads to main channel

[@greenmanofthewoods6060]

SPOILER : KAHL DROGO WAS BILBOS DAD.

[@KlaraL-_-]

Frodo´s dad actually.

[@greenmanofthewoods6060]

My bad, you are correct. I was getting schwifty at the time.

[@ZaeBae22]

dany will accidentally blow up kingslanding because she won't know about the wildfire underground :)

[@nikilakestani2970]

You and schift really sort of predicted the future eh?

[@nateosborne7361]

Drunk Schwift lowkey sorta roasted my depressed ass but like also it’s hard to escape to the slump and I personally thought that was what grrm was tryna illustrate in the later Tyrion chapters

[@yetipotato8567]

Yuuzan Wong sounds too much like beating a dead horse. But hey why make a new universe if you can just use the same old. Its like fanfic of would jedi win a space marine

[@thomasmartin4281]

no red delicious

[@margaritaquiroga8712]

Tyrion is not as good as the others because he's a late player

[@hollin220]

please mind the gap

[@shadedbear6414]

I live very close to where that elephant was hanged 100% true. It murdered a woman and paid for its crime

[@deffientllynotjalenbutler1736]

Animals can’t commit murder

[@SalaciousBCrumb-md3lk]

I don't believe you!

[@shadedbear6414]

@SalaciousBCrumb-md3lk 1916 erwin Tn her name was Mary

[@Ssatran]

Please never say "corpsy-dorpsy" again. Thank you.

[@tarasis2722]
