Greetings.
And welcome to House of R, a ringer-verse podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Mallory Rubin. Joining me today, we are awash in dilemmas and deficiencies. It's Joanna Robinson.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:21)
Who else is joining us today? Preston the Rat.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:24)
Yeah, big moment for Preston.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:25)
It's a big Rat episode, so we thought we'd give Preston a place of prominence on the table here.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:30)
Yeah, guys, where's the lower third to identify Preston and share his social handles? We are here, of course, to dive deep.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:39)
Profoundly deep. Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:42)
Into episode three of season three of House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra Triumphant, we will get right to it after this.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:32)
All right, as usual, that was a lie. We're gonna do programming reminders first before we get into anything. Here's what's coming. Next week is a busy week. I believe that we are publishing five podcasts next week on this feed. Is that true?

**Joanna Robinson** (2:42)
We will have... The ice just went so wide.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:47)
Relatively quiet week this week with just the old two, but coming up, Talk the Thrones on Sunday night on...

**Joanna Robinson** (2:54)
With a very special guest.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:55)
That's right, special guest. CR, for the first time ever, won't be on Talk the Thrones.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:00)
He's in Canada.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:01)
I'm not totally rolling out that he's like, guys, I've learned how quickly dragons move. I'm flying in, I'm back.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:09)
Okay.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:10)
We'll see.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:10)
On Dragon Wing from Toronto. Okay.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:13)
Maybe it'll just be a text or two to read.
Who can say? We'll have a special guest on Sunday for Talk the Thrones and then we will of course be back with our deep dive on episode four on Tuesday evening next week. In addition to that, Lestat. We did not get to Lestat this week. We had an unavoidable scheduling conflict that there was nothing to be done. There was nothing to be done, but we will be back for episode. A quick catch up on episode five and then episode six, which will be the newest episode. We'll be hitting them both inside of one pod.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:40)
We meet Akasha in episode five. We will talk about it.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:43)
Can't wait. Only a couple of episodes left of that, which is very sad. Sad. Then it's a big Nolan week for us because we have one episode left in our Nolan Revisited project, Oppenheimer. Then of course next week is the release of a little movie you might have heard of called The Odyssey.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:00)
Which we've seen.

**Mallory Rubin** (4:01)
Which we've seen and guess what? It was fucking great.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:03)
It was really good. It was so good. If all goes according to plan, we have a special guest for Talk to Thrones and a special guest for Oppenheimer.
Then the special guest is us for The Odyssey and also Homer. Homer, always welcome on this podcast.

**Mallory Rubin** (4:18)
Always. Oppie and Otty Week.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:20)
