The I'm going to be. Hello and welcome to Ben the song of Ice and Fire Podcast I am Sir Matt the

Bud-neck and I am Sir Jimmy of House Nuts, leader of the Swole Army.

Welcome to our Song of Ice and Fire Club. Today we are into a Storm of Swords Aria

five. How are you doing, Matt? you doing all right today?

Dude, I am doing good man. You and I were just talking about started uploading all like clips from our podcast
