I just listened to episode 21, "The Lost Episode", again and there was a quiz for the guest host, Rob.

The questions were:

1) Name Tommen's three kittens
2) What was Rhaegar's favourite place?
3) What is House Manwoody's house motto?
4) What is the nickname of Gerold Dayne?
5) How many wives has Walder Frey had?
6) Who said 'A mind needs books as a sword needs a Whetstone...'

I think it would be great if you brought this back for future guest hosts (For listeners/forum members - maybe not for George or a tv show producer when they finally decide to come on :D). But what do you think the questions do you think the listener should be asked?

I think a test of APOIAF knowledge would be good, some of my sample questions:

1) Who is Yoren's brother?
Spoiler: show
Bronn

2) What is the Feather hat theory?
Spoiler: show
If Catelyn went back to Winterfell and Theon invaded Winterfell, he could not resist raping Catelyn in Ned Starks bed. The feather hat refers to prostitutes that wear a feathered hat, Theon in AGOT said he would make Catelyn a hat.

3) What is the Genna Lannister theory?
Spoiler: show
She was sleeping around and had a bastard, Red Walder Frey

4) Complete the following phrase: 'It's not gay if...'
Spoiler: show
There is no eye contact

5) Which book did Amin and Mimi contribute to?
Spoiler: show
A Flight of Sorrows

6) Name three things the podcast has been shunned from?
Spoiler: show
1) Free Breakfast with George
2) Maester Boxes
3) Comic Con Press Pass


Can anyone think of potential questions based on the APOIAF catalogue of episodes?

Haha. I like. Especially #6! This seems like it could be an essay question.

Also I think you guys should download a trivia app and have a Family Feud style quiz off.

Was there even an answer to House Manwoody's motto? I don't think it was ever established officially...

And I don't think the hosts decided on a good permanent one yet either. We'll find out in AWoIaF though!

During that episode, Rob answered it would be the same as House Tyrell ("Growing Strong") as House Manwoody are bannermen of House Tyrell. However, that is wrong because House Manwoody are bannermen of House Martell.

Additionally, lesser houses have their own motto, not just the motto of their liege. The only example I can think of right now is House Mormont's "Here We Stand".

Standing Tall? :B

I like your sample questions, Dagos. We should all make more!

1) If Tyrion were a Pokemon, he'd be a
Spoiler: show
Psyduck


2) Whose voice is said to resemble that of post-stroke Dick Clarke another ingesting Jack Daniels and a pack of cigs?
Spoiler: show
Roy Dotrice in A Dance with Dragons (according to guest host Apocalypse Dan!)


3) What's yellow and makes for both good lingerie and headgear?
Spoiler: show
Amin's headband (according to guest host Christina)


4) Spell mongoballs the way they're supposed to be said, in Chinese pinyin
Spoiler: show
Meng Gu Bao

Very good, Dagos. Everything's correct. Amin's Headband, always flexible and ready to serve people's needs. But! Yurt is not a Chinese word at all :p

oh my god, I would totally fail all of these =$ *runs back into his hole*

But really, the only questions that probably matter are:

A: Where do whore's go? And can we send Ros there?
B: If you could replace Ros with another "whore", who would it be!

A: It seems to be Braavos, if they're thinking of going pro and learning from 'em courtesans.
B: You know what's on my mind, sillent... It's horrible but I can already hear the theme in my head. :/

Braavos over Lys for whores? I always thought Lys was the place to be for that.

Also, as much as I love Inara, I would love it so much if Saffron i.e. Christina Hendricks was Ros. I wouldn't mind if she got 20minutes of screentime every ep :D

the Braavos are the ones who are famous for their courtesans. The Lyseni are famous for their Valyrian blood which is why our friend Jorah went there to find himself a girl who is of Dany's colouring...

Re: Inara
Well, Inara is a woman of mystery, y'know. It's only right to keep her exposure to a minimum. Not really a fan of Hendricks in terms of her appearance but I'm sure many will disagree (including Kyle) XD

I think Ros is one up on Shae, even with the podcast crew. But replacement whore...Satin! If he weren't already dead due to whoresbane umber (according to Mimi).

But my vote goes to Nancy from Oliver Twist.

That's the single greatest idea I have ever heard in my life
