I just took that long-ass personality quiz and somehow managed to get Samwell Tarly despite the fact that I exercise every day. fml.

I thought the one’s who got stuck with Sam were all the bookworms and therefore the cool kid group. (high five) 🙂 I’ll just go back to my whiny goth group of fellow Brans now. (long quiz) What no one knows however is I’m destined to reinvent myself as the school bad-ass/Jon Snow. (short quiz) Though really any way you slice it, in the Ice and Fire world I’m gonna have a whole lot of teenage angst. 🙁

You can blame any editing problems on me this time. I’m pretty sure I missed something in there.

I was Sam too on the short one and Brienne on the long one. This was a very good episode if short. I love Mimi’s Harry potter littlefinger Snape comment I never thought it about that way.
I dissagree with everthing that Chris says! and his suggestions for the actor Renly is horid! Renly is not ethnic.
yes the idea or gay is very diffren then from now. If you look at that time era things that are considered gay now were not then. In the play Hamlet the male lead talks to his friends and says things like “for the love you bare for me…” now if two guy hug their are questions about their sexuality. I think it will be nessisarry for hbo to drop big hints to get the point across but I just don’t think they are going to.
Renly is smarter than Robert.
Mimi not to be a creeper but how old are you?
Chris you are so mean I can’t believe I missed you.
I love too see another girls and guys night out episode but is ashly 2 needs to be there.

I got Sam on one and Jamie on the other…..hmmm yeah there isn’t much difference between the two now that I think about it. They are both slayers. Next survey I take I’ll probably get Buffy.

Uhg! I didn’t say “Friends”, I said “Fringe”. God, I’m not such a fucking loser that I like Friends.

OH. i am so glad you cleared that up, because i was like, “seriously, ashley? friends?”

I liked Friends 🙁

Well, you’re old.

Friends is like the not-as-good How I Met Your Mother.
Admittedly Friends came out vastly earlier and is clearly inspired by Friends, so this might not be the best analogy.

And by the second Friends I do mean HIMYM. Ugh.

The test says my personality is like Bran Stark’s, I hate it but the description is pretty much accurate.

Suggestions for 3 segment next time: do some sort of asoiaf improv skit (voice cosplay!), or compare each other’s fanart (if you haven’t made any, do so now). Potential hilarity… (or perhaps not -_-)?
I like the talk of how blatant to make Renly and Loras’s gayness.

I’m looking forward to listening to this tonight at work. and excited that Chris is back!

Got Sansa in the short one (ewwww!) and Dany on the long one. The funny thing is I can’t stand them both…maybe that’s why I got them! Hilarious that Chase got Cersei!
Apr 20th, 2009
Theresa
Hilarious, yet not suprising in the least.
Apr 20th, 2009
Chase
Ouch. :\
Apr 20th, 2009
Linda
Well, what are the odds of getting the same results in both! You must be really the Cersei type! 😉
Btw, very happy Chris is back. Love the Mimi-Chris interaction.

I, a 24 year old man, got Sansa Stark in the short one….and like, I would’ve been ok with Arya or even Catelyn. But no, I got Sansa, and I can’t really even mount a defense for it. I probably would sell my dad out for a chance to bang Joffrey.
And I must’ve effed up the long one, since it was only like 8 questions and it says it couldn’t ID me. I’m going back in for round two here in a minute. Good podcast, guys!

Found the right quiz. I’m Theon Greyjoy, which is probably the most depressing one I’ve seen. It literally tells me “you are callow, self-serving, and cocky.” I mean, I’m not saying it’s wrong, but damn, that’s cold.

Hell yeah!! Jon snow for the short one…don’t have time for the long one just now, but I enjoyed the episode despite all the bickering.
I’m half tempted to take up the offer to guest host, but I can’t really say that I’m any more knowledgeable than any of the current hosts. Just sounds like a good time from the listening end of things anyway.

yo ill guest host, not only can i bring the noise, but i can also bring the funk oooooooooo

Ok, I finally listened to it and now have the chance to comment on it. Great podcasts guys. I’m a little upset now though because I have finished listening to all of them and will have to wait, what a month for another one?
Anyways, I would love to be a guest host if you guys don’t have any takers yet.

Great episode guys — I know you always put yourselves down, but I enjoy listening to the long conversations, tangents included. I was listening on my ipod in bed at like 1:30 in the morning and “Chill Out or Get Chilly” made me laugh so loud that my girlfriend started elbowing me in the face because I woke her up.
Also, the phrase “I’d creak that door” has now entered its way into my vocabulary. Thank you for making me more perverted than I already was.
Keep up the good work.

Breaking Bad is the best show on TV. It’s intense and tightly scripted with wonderful performances all around. BTW the show is on AMC, which is adjusting their format by adding some original content (such as Mad Men).
The Breaking Bad “behind the scenes” folks have a podcast too. It’s very informative/interesting: http://blogs.amctv.com/breaking-bad/podcasts/
As for POIAF, it’s good to hear from Chris again. He and Mimi continue to stir the pot as always. The “Renly has aides” section was the funniest thing ever. And the character quizzes were fun. You got to get the other hosts to do them when they get back. As always it was a fun, free-wheeling and compelling episode.
Keep up the good work.

Great episode. I wasn’t too surprised that Mimi and Ashley have major crushes for Renly. The surprise was Chris and his feelings for Loras. He pictured him as a twink????
It was great hearing Chris back and shaking things up. 🙂

I got Loras Tyrell on the short quiz and Jaime Lannister on the long quiz. Basically, I’m active a lot, in shape, I like marshal arts, and I don’t necessarily want power but I got it anyways. I suppose it’s kinda true, but I wouldn’t mind having power. If I could be a character from the books I would rather be Jon Snow or Robb Stark (in which case I would have done a few things differently about the Freys before Edmure’s wedding). I would love to be the King in the North.

In a slightly unrelated note, Chase (I think it’s you) please keep writing those amazing lyrics. They’re fucking amazing.

Get Chilly…hahahha. You guys are so hilarious. Great episode!
No other group of people who say they’re going to discuss the history of Renly but only talk about his gayness could make me laugh this hard. I mean, there is more to Renly, but all anyone seems to talk about is whether he’ll be flaming in the series.
In the interest of that question, I’ll agree with Mimi and Ashley 2. Renly is a manly man, and no way is Loras a twink! I didn’t even realize/care about their sexualities until Jamie made that hilarious comment in ASoS. They both just struck me as knights who were really into clothing, tourneys, and flowy hair, which, if I’ve learned anything from medieval and renaissance ballads, makes them perfect chivalric gentlemen – especially considering Renly’s behavior towards Brienne/ Loras’ towards Sansa.
And about Loras wearing roses all the time… I never pictured them as actual roses, but patterns designed into his armor. I think his ‘belt of roses’ is made of gold, so its really a symbol of his high social status and House, not his sexuality. Anyways the only image I have of Loras is as Jamie’s younger form, lol.
The highlight of the ep was definitely Chris’ fantasy of seeing Vin Diesel and The Rock making it…even if he didn’t say so. 😀 It marks a seriously triumphant return – I mean, what did the podcast do without you, Chris?
I got Dany on the short quiz, and Littlefinger on the long one. I hate Littlefinger, and am not the slightest bit manipulative, but I liked the little description. Also, I am similar to Euron Greyjoy, who is badass.
Oh and by the way, I’m so disappointed that when you guys talked about Stannis and Renly’s parlay you failed to appreciate Renly’s amazing comments about why would be a better king than Stannis. That was seriously one of the funniest moments of the whole book. Made me imagine what life must have been like growing up in the Baratheon house, haha.

Loras not a twink? No way! The flowers, the hair, the swishy way he walks… come on!
Actually, in all my re-reads, I never really thought of Loras as being a twink. Now, thanks to Chris I’ve got pictures of a young, twinkish Loras and an older, bearish Renly (open shirt with requisite chest hair) spending way too much time alone in tents…
😮

Bran for the long quiz and Sansa for the short. It figures I got two of the three starks I dislike the most. (though it did mention Catlyn in the long one so I guess I’m 3/3)

haha oh my god i’m so glad to know that i’m not the only person who thinks Chris looks like Robin Hood in his picture. You’ve got to put it back!

Hey, first Euron Greyjoy scorer here. Oddly enough, the description simply remarks that I have a good sense of humour, failing to mention creaking doors at all. Strange.
Oh and I’d love to guest host some time but I am English if you guys are keeping it national

Well, we’ve got our first casting announcement for the HBO series, and it’s a good one: Peter Dinklage has been confirmed as Tyrion. Seeing as Dinklage was pretty much everyone’s dream casting for Tyrion (including GRRM), this is a good start to the casting process. Hopefully a few more exciting announcements are on the horizon.
