== Intro Clip: ==
"Dude I can draw those tit's from memory from season one!" - Lydia
== Show Notes: ==
* Opens right up introducing Lydia and making reference to Episode 146: The Tenacity of Her Vengeance: Women in Game of Thrones. (Which is a great episode where the women of "Game of Thrones" and current (2014) social issues relating to the perception and treatment of women are discussed. 
* BBQ and wine opens up the podcast.
* Wine scores v.s. video game scores, very similar.
* Ivan's: "Previously on Game of Thrones" is executed very well.
* Discussion on Sansa's development and arch as a character.
* Little-finger spitting his 'classic pimp shit'.
* Ivan's new favorite quote from the show.
* A prediction about the Black Fish.
* Aria's training / staff fighting is touched on.
* The original name of the podcast was supposed to be "Whores, Gore, and Swords"!
* The fake Tyrion was clearly Anti-Semitic, Joffrey's casting was 'inspired', Ned's naïveté was captured perfectly.
* Titular line drop!
* Dick talk!
* Jimmy night king is there, Lydia is a fan of #TeamSlowStab, Red is NOT A FAN! 
* Studio 60 talk happens. 
* Apparently the Pike's system of government is dictated by round of applause, so disappointing. The Pike is the most like wrestling that this show has ever gotten. 
* They talk about Dani's next steps and Tyrion killing it as the first PR guy. 
* Red calls Varys dead by the end of the season! 
* Lauren (Red's wife) makes her first quoted joke appearance. 
* Bran's horrible decision making kills another innocent person and a direwolf! 
* Man-Bun for Jon Snow? 
* Direwolf count, only 2 left 
* The heart wrenching ending.......
