John the fiddler be like " How do you do fellow hedge knight?"

"we'd all be bastards of old king Aegon if half these tales were true." "And who's to say we're not?" That line is so good upon a reread.

“I’d love to cross swords with you” “I should LOVE to try my lance on you” Knowing more about the character of John the Fiddler, these two quotes probably have quite the different meaning. ;)

Oh yeah I forgot about the straw hat on the mule… how George mingles such adorableness into such gritty tales… :)

Daves like a well oiled machine ...... That churns out asoiaf content for all us stoners that gather here cheers dave

In every Dunc & Egg story, I LoL every time Dunc tells Egg he'll get a *clout in the ear.* My fav time was when he mouthed it to egg under his breath.🤭 David is the best audiobook reader IMO.

Egg cutting ear holes in his straw hat for the mule 😂👌🏽❤️

Daemon Blackfyre has quite the cult of personality, they glorify the dead because the dead can't confirm or deny the stories.

I just wonder how much kin slaying happened on that red grass field with half the lords backing both sides and all the intermarriage of the houses and everything else.

I keep coming back to these. You really did a good job, my guy.

Maester Aemon measured Sir Duncan the tall 😅

Thank you! Been looking forward to this! It's my favorite D&E story.

I'm following along with the Graphic Novel and your voices match the illustrations incredibly well.

My favorite of the trilogy

“Dunc the lunk, thick as a castle wall!”😂

Oh my gosh… a pale raven with bloody beak, caws into the ear of our King, Aerys… just as the three eyed raven infiltrated the dreams of Aerys II, furthering his madness.

I was waiting for it like a kid for Xmas. Thank you

lmao - this part in 5:00 has me in stitches, the man is brave

New Drinking challenge: one shot every time John/Daemon's dialog sounds fruity

Your the man Davey!! Thank you so much brother! I miss the everyday chapter of ice and fire so much and I’m so great full your still reading his other books and sample chapters! It’s a big surprise every time I see a blue dote up next to your name. I’ve her that winds of winter might be out before the new tv show so that will be super awesome!! I don’t think John is Targaryen! He’s to old to be born in the tower of joy and also in Kat chapter One or two in GOT it practically spells it out. He is Dawnish.. forgive my spelling please.. Anyway so happy to here your voice Davey!! Your the best and your dedication is commendable!!!

Idk who theorized that Ser Maynard Plumm was actually Bloodraven in disguise?

the Mystery Knight. I think this might be the pulpiest of all of martins asoiaf stories. Thats not critisim mind you, but it is an admission that this book is a bit different than the other books. In particular, this books main point is to explore the concept of hedge knights. not in their worth like the first book, but rather how they operate, from the regulars like our cat knight, the supremely skilled like Ball, the knight errands like Dunk, and the snail knight who actually understands that this is a sport, and like all sporting events it can be gamed. that is of course only half of it. the second half is of course devoted to the meta plot of dunk and egg. Red or Black. In this book, we explore what im going to take a guess, and say are the worst people of the respective sides. now, if we get more dunk and egg books, mayhaps ill have to eat those words, but for the moment, i feel confident in saying that Gormon Peake and Bloodraven are both the worst "in charge" people on their respective sides. If Eustace Osgrey was the idealist, then Peake is the absolute worst of all the men who followed Daemon Blackfyre, being the absolute embodiment of the naked powergrab that many of the men who followed the black dragon wanted. he wanted to be the lord paramount of the reach. and that, and no other reason is why he followed Daemon Blackfyre. now he wants that, and to get his castles back. Peake is a monster, who by his own admission hangs any armed men he finds on the road, even though 1. its not a crime to just own a weapon, and 2. While he might have the rights of pits and gallows in his own lands, that is most certainly NOT the case here. he has no more legal right to arrest a man in these lands, than he has to hang them. Yet he regards it not only as his right to do so, but he is eager to do so just because. He is a complete and total heel in every sense of the word. he is a feudal tyrrant in every sense of the word. Eustace was the idealist who didnt quite live up to his ideals. Peake is the man who doesnt care about any of his duties and obligations, and just wants more and more for himself. On the other side, there is bloodraven, the jackass who lets the west burn, wants to turn westeros into a police state, wants to put a mentally handicapped man on the iron throne in order to rule through him and become king in all but name. Also, assuming that this isnt just the talk of the persona of Plum that he has crafted for himself, Bloodraven looks just as much down on Anyone who dares to make his coin on something other than just taxes, as he sneers at the idea of earning cash on tolls and direct cattle farming. Bloodraven might be a "for the greater good" kinda guy, but make no mistake, he is not some noble reformer. he LIKES the feudal system, and his only main problem with it, isnt the tyrrany, or the lack of protection for the smallfolk, but instead that it doesnt go far enough. he cares nothing for the feudal contract, and shrugs his shoulders at the thoughts of tens of thousands of people dying that he could have stopped as kings hand. their deaths didnt mean anything so long as he got to carry out his grudge against bittersteel and the blackfyres. And to top it off, his grand justification for not sending ships to aid the west and put down the greyjoy rebellion, didnt even work. Haegon landed despite all his efforts, and seemingly came relatively close to winning it all(at least moreso than any of the other blackfyres except daemon I). So all his tyranny, all his for the greater good BS, in the grand scheme of things didnt actually prevent Bittersteel from landing. our good cat is absolutely right. Brynden rivers really is the main source of problems for the targs at this point in time, being the main symbol that people(rightfully) have come to blame for all their voes. of course, this is martin, and martin likes to always have some ambiguity. in this case, being that despite ultimately failing in the grand scheme of things, his methods would lead to the downfall of the second blackfyre rebellion(though that isnt all that impressive in the grand scheme of things, as ill cover under the following videos.) Also, i'll give my full thoughts on Daemon II later, but for now, i just want to draw a very sharp comparison. namely that Daemon here is very much a prototype Rhaegar, just as Maekar is prototype stannis. and just like Maekar, he isnt quite a complete match. He is a musician, he believes in phrophecy, he seems a decent enough fellow that is courteous to Dunk, saves his life from peake, is highly attractive and wins the love of at least one man who loves him more than anything, and just like Rhaegar, he may or may not have made a decent king... only for his flaws making sure he never got the chance to sit the iron throne. however he is also different. he's gregarious where Rhaegar was more the kind who won friends through soft words, he's cheerfull where Rhaegar was always melancholic, he was abandoned by his own family in favor of another while Rhaegar was the shining hope of house Targaryen and so on. I'll get more into him later, but for now, i have to say i kinda like Daemon, and i kinda wish there was more to his story than just this book.

3:39 hmmmmm....now where have I seen this before? 🤔🥶

Hell yea love this book

Would love to see your content on RUMBLE

You might think Egg would have known a kinsman🤷🏼‍♂️🤓😎✌🏻

Ah yes! here we go.

Hey, I would like to use your narrations and animate wit them if that’s cool with you, your very talented

Pretty disappointed you didn’t go all out on the camp voice for the fiddler 😂

Traitor blood runs in his veins. I am sure he will be welcomed at the tourney.

20:31 sounds like the gay Agatha knight from chiv 2 xD

16:00

So wait dunk and his friends tossed a rotting head into the soups in kings landing 🤢🥴

The Souther accent does not fit. It is like listening to Huckleberry Finn with a South London accent.
