This week, Dave, Neil, and Joanna discuss the Season 2 premiere of ‘House of the Dragon,’ "A Son for a Son." They start by talking through their overall thoughts on the episode (7:14). Then, they answer some listener questions (12:46) before talking about this week’s poll: Who is the worst parent in Westeros (48:18)? Later they head into the Storm, where they discuss—in book-spoiling detail—theories about what may be coming this season (55:31) and break down the trailer for the remainder of the season (1:14:51).

Be sure to vote in this week’s poll! Who is the worst parent in Westeros? You can vote for the winner at TheRinger.com, on The Ringer’s X feed, and in the Spotify app, where you'll find ‘Trial by Content.’ The winner will be announced next week!
