Game Of Thrones

I take back them being mediocre. The knighting scene was great, but everything happening just feels like fan service.

And the story about killing the giant had me dying

Funny story, when I was a teen my friend and I were pretty hardcore in the prank call game. We even went to radioshack and got a thing that allowed us to directly connect a microcassette recorder to a telephone so that we could record our prank calls. This is all pre-*69. We had a Kerns High school directory and we honestly called about 70% of the numbers. Usually after midnight during the summer months. Anyway, we had gotten pretty far into it and we got to the Young's. I called a house with a female name and an older woman picked up.

I was like "Get Stacy!"

She responded, "What, who the hell are you?"

I said, "I'm Jared Young" (there was another kid in the directory named Jared Young).

She responds, "Yeah right?"

"My name is Jared Young, get Stacy... We need to talk."

"What the f&*$ do you need to talk about?"

"She hasn't told you?"

"No, what do you need to talk about?"

Me, "She's... She's... Okay, she's pregnant!"

"Who did you say you were?"

"I'm Jared Young."

"No you're not!"

"Yes, I am! My name is Jared Young."

"You ain't no Young!"

"Yes I am! I'm Jared Young. I went to school with her."

"Bulls*&%! You ain't no Young!"

"I AM a Young!"

"No You Ain't!"

"I am"

*******

Anyway, that was a medium fun one. It was just really fun for me to be told I was not Jared Young, we usually used the name James Gibson. Best one we did was getting a guy to think a girl we pretended to know had been living in his basement for the last few weeks and while we were on the phone he was all like, "Okay, I'm going downstairs..." Dude was sure there was some runaway living in his basement. Another quote that we enjoyed was the person who got super serious and said, "Wait, what? Do you think you're some kind of badass? Because if you are you better bring some sticks and knives and guns and ****, because I'm gonna be ready for you!" Another person started talking to us about chasing the dragon. I mean we set a challenge for ourselves to call every number in the Kearns High student directory and record the results, and we did it. I'd love to get my hands on those tapes. Dude I did that with has been to prison a couple times, but I bet those tapes still exist, somewhere. **** is money.
 
Back to the episode, it was Ok, its setting up the third nicely, with four episodes left i'm wondering if the whole Night King thing is resolved in ep 3 and then its the whole Cersei, Dany and Jon triangle.

I kind of left wondering the same thing. I mean the biggest battle of the entire show happens next Episode. What do we do for three more extra long episodes?

I dunno I didn't write the ****ing thing. Either they defeat the Night King and march on Cersei, or the Night King defeats them and marches on Cersei or the Night King on the edge of defeat fly's to the Iron Islands on his dragon and regroups, they then kill Cersei and sail to the Iron Islands to finish him.

I imagine a desperate last stand must happen somewhere.

If I had the tapes (they exist somewhere) I would love to listen to them. I can't try to remember all of it more than 20 years later. Even the stuff I mentioned... each thing is 15 plus minutes of conversation. We started getting really good, after several hundred calls, of getting people to stay on the line and talk. I mean we did THOUSANDS of calls. Most were less than 20 seconds. The ones where people kept talking to us, some of that stuff is absolutely unreal. I can't type it out from memory 20 years later. But we played those tapes with the best of the best stuff a lot, it was crazy. The guy who went hunting around in his basement for some runaway, he was on the phone for over 40min. We have him on tape doing like surprise attacks going into the next room, like he was jumping in like "Haawaah!" Then he'd get all quiet and ask "Are you in here, come on, just come out." Like it was just hilarious. I honestly think we could sell those tapes for serious cash. Golden age of the prank call and we were top of the game!

I have a crazy prediction. I think this thing ends with no humans left in Westeros.

Westeros belongs to the Children of the Forest. That's why the night king was created in the first place. In the end he does his job and Westeros goes back to the Children of the Forest. The knight king is defeated, the weights are gone, just the old gods and the Children are left.

Ah man one of the things I love doing at work is winding people up over the phone or radio, I have all sorts of fun with them, the best ones are when switchboard puts random drunks through to us, man do i have some real fun with them.

"Now listen very carefully cause i'm not going to repeat myself!" is a common line i hear.

(i'm thinking wanna make a bet? At least two or three times if i can keep you on the line. Mind you these are people wasted at 8pm on a Wednesday so they've obviously got a lot on their plate. )

I dunno, the old ruthlessness of the show is gone and its starting to get sentimental, when was the last time a major cast member was killed? Littlefinger? the person everybody wanted to die. I think good will conquer evil and everyone will hold hands for the great homecoming **** fest. Which would be a little disappointing but probably likely.

What we started out doing was trying to call the kids listed in the directory, but where the gold came from was when we'd get their drunk/high parents. We'd be all aggressive and the parents would get defensive. That's where the money was. That's when you'd get a parent willing to keep the call going well past the point of ridiculousness. Once you got them fired up you'd drop some heavy **** on them and then you would start being the reasonable one, reassuring them. Man I think I'm going to try to contact this old friend and see if we can cash in on those tapes. It was 1000% my idea to do high quality recordings with our little phone tap device. I should have kept the tapes. If that MFer didn't keep the tapes... I haven't talked to him in 17 years. I have to think these tapes were precious. There's no way these get tossed. But he did do time, maybe other people tossed them.

I legit think we could make money if they still exist. Crank Yankers was garbage compared to what we were doing.
 
There was a bunch I wasn't there for when they'd call dentist's offices and describe crazy dental issues, like a tooth coming out from their forehead. Some of those, again, ones I wasn't involved in, were really good.

I just remembered one we did to one of our own guys a few months ago, me and my mate often call the boys at work with ******** jobs and practical jokes from the pub, we had one of the guys (new bloke, he's English so he's always copping **** for loving his German Queen and so on) looking for the jewelry of a 92 year old patient named Elizabeth Windsor, when he finally worked out that someone was taking the piss out of him he swore a blue streak over the radio that ended with you F ing C s, our radio conversations are recorded and listened into at switchboard. We were well happy with ourselves.
 
Okay, working nights has been interesting.... I come home at 6:30am, do couple shots, have a beer... or two, tell crazy stories on jazzfanz. Wake up at 4pm and smack myself in the face like "what the **** are you posting on the internet!"

Whatever. Let's all just have fun!

I'm headed to bed. I'll get back at ya around 4pm MST.

Watched this episode without my wife... We might not be able to watch it together until Tuesday night. I was like **** that noise, I'm gonna watch it, set the DVR status to unwatched, then I can read the GOT thread at jazzfanz (which has been super productive) and not worry about spoilers. Just have to watch the show and do a C- job of acting like I'm surprised by ****, right?
