The Hedge Knight read-through Part 1 - Dunk & Egg
Ойын-сауық
Featuring my good friend Grey Waste Tim! It’s the long-awaited Dunk and Egg read-through, so buckle up! We’ll read every line of Dunk and Egg over the next few streams and delve beneath the surface of these subtle masterpieces that are the stories of hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his disguised companion, Egg, who becomes King Aegon Targaryen IV. This is the story of how they came to travel together.

44:20 as a carpenter I can tell you that turned wood is an object carved from a whole log. Its called turned because the log is rotated while chiselled into a shape. So, if the lance is 8-9 foot tall it was made from an entire tree trunk. Such a large would object, made with old techniques of that period, would have needed master craftmen labouring for months or years.
I realize this video is from quite a few months ago, but I’ve been listening to and watching so many of your videos and this is the first time I realized how much Cleo has the coloring of a weirwood tree! You’ve got me rereading ASOIAF -I’m noticing all the little mythological gems you’ve been talking about and all the foreshadowing. It’s making my reading even more enjoyable. I had a three hour conversation with my son the other day about the books and characters and all the references I’ve learned through your channel.
I love listening to this to go to sleep. Its so relaxing and fun
I adore the structure of your streams. Please never stop doing adhd tangents!
Tim makes good point about usefulness of Egg’s perspective seeing clearly the motivations and personalities of high born characters since he was raised at court.
"I said I wasn't going to get lost in the symbolism, I lied, y'all shoulda known that." My dude, that is why we are here. Bit late to this read through but the discussion is top tier, keep up the great work guys.
I LOVE the DunK & eGG stories ,they are hilarious. I listen on audible. My adhd tends to trigger when I read. All types of adhd out there. 😎 I like this pairing. You work well together.
That was soooo good. You 2 are such a great team!!!
1. Thank you a knight of the seven kingdoms is my favorite and is my comfort audiobook. 2. Great video. 3. Is Tim from Massachusetts?!?
Around 1:12:00 Dunk throws a copper (star?) down between Egg’s feet. Then as he leaves the shadows grow (by the shadow) as he reaches Ashford (Ashaii). Seems like a reenactment of Azor Ahai pulling down a meteor to corrupt the land by his capitol city. May be more in the language.
LML: “There’s where we’ll stop. It’s been just about four hours.” Me: “Only four hours?”
This was such a fun live. I walked my dogs, cleaned house and did my workout whilst listening to it. Love these long lives. Goose made my day with the touch downnnn 😄🥰 Tim chin up and feel better 😊

“Nissa Nissa, bear your breasts and know that I love you most…” 43:54 turned wood just means it was carved from a larger piece of wood. A turned ash wood staff means the staff is made from the center part of a branch or trunk of ash. 1:14:14 words are magic, that’s why it’s called spelling! One of my therapists told me that to summarize our discussion over the power of self talk. 2:04:33 agreed! I’ve had a simple beaker cheech for years and I adore it.
This shit was so fuckn funny guys. Tim's stewards voice had me in stiches , LOLs
“He was still able to hold the realm together.” Not to besmirch Aegon III’s name but due to PTSD and depression, he delegated governing the realm mainly to his brother, Viserys sooo...the latter should take most of the credit
Jonquils are winter flowers. They pushed up through the light snow here on the first of January to bloom. They are one of the three winter blooms of Japan.
Man I want some of what Lightbringer (aka ice and fire Liam Gallagher) is smoking
Don't feel bad for going far in your analysis and metaphors, irl we rarely get to geek about the stuff we love and you guys have your own plateform to do just this so enjoy ! 😂❤
Pennytree being between the teats is also important, because the heart is between the teats making it a symbolic heart tree

Thank you for saving my Sunday night
"The trees were bright with moonlight and the sky was cloudless and speckled with stars." Dunk doesn't turn around but he can feel the stable boy watching him. The next paragraph beginns "The shadows grew longer...". So there are white moon trees, stars and Dunk feel watched, and there are shadows. It sounds like Other's are watching with there star eyes.

Finally read the hedge knight and now I can enjoy these readthroughs ❤️🔥
The stream was so fun and humorous 😂 looking forward to the next chapter read ❤
Really love the chemistry between David and Tim, they have fun and it makes us have fun with them 🎉
Rewatching this after the casting news broke crazy it’s been a year!!
1:42:32 "a dragonfly among the reed, a dragon files among the Reed, Bloodraven?
This was so pleasant to watch. Keep up the good chemistry! Shout out from Brazil!
Absolutely enjoyed it ❤. Can’t wait for the next one
So much fun guys. Haven’t read dunk and egg in ages, so was nice to have this reread. Tim was fab and cannot wait to dive into part 2
Great stream, loved you and Tim doing the voices and talking about the foreshadowing and symbols. Really love the humor in this so can't wait for next week
Very interesting that Dunk has heavy green man symbolism and he becomes lord commander of the kingsgaurd who are parallel/share symbolism with the Others.
the back and forth banter between david and tim is tip top stuff man. love it.
There’s a severe lack of Dunk and Egg content out there.. this video is truly a treasure! I’ll probably end up watching it way too many times 😅
Such a great stream! This really adds to the feeling that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms felt more fairytale-like than most of the main series to me, even though Dunk & Egg gets pretty dark sometimes. I love these stories so much.
Love this live! Not sure if someone’s said it yet but with Tanselle she’s a dornish woman puppeteering a dragon which is symbolic of the ongoing criticism of Daeron the good’s rule- that the Dornish have too much power over him
Great stream!
A cheeky comment for the algorithm gods. I’ll have to catch up on this one later but wanted to pop in and do my duty. ❤
I didn't remember how well reading Dunk and Egg felt like! It's a story that you cannot read it without smiling. Thank you for this stream David and Tim! You're the best ❤
Perfect birthday stream! 🎉
One of the first streams I've been able to catch and on my favourite stories in the series! Great work guys was definitely worth staying up to watch
Oh this was great fun! Now Im hoping you do all three books like this.

I didn’t mind the length of this stream (watching after of course). Awesome stuff.
Loved the stream. I hope the next one is just as long with even more weeds
- Never dunk the football egg in the basket! said the sports teacher.
Love Tim noting the inflation/cost of living stuff. One thing I'll tack on is that the subsequent deterioration may've been avoided if Baelor had lived. The joust *does* change the price of eggs! Also, ton of Jesus in the Arlan burial. The grail is in brown, the thing containing Christ's blood is in the earth, Arlan is buried. Odin's not the only "speared to the wood" Godguy; the lance also evokes the Lance of Longinus. (And I have a tinfoil notion that Arlan comes back as Steely Pate. Dunk calls the Smith "the old man," acts as if he already knows Pate, and Baelor dies at Pate's hands. As if Arlan/Pate is settling the score.) WHEYFaced inn woman = Waif? Blood and pennies share a smell. So Dunk's fistful of pennies = Ned's blood-covered hand
Great stream, and looking forward to the next one
With how deep seemingly every sentence George writes, it’s no wonder that winds is still ongoing
Damn, best stream in awhile! Loved ya'll cracking jokes and going wild with the symbolism. Ya'll were having so much fun!

David Lightbringer and Grey Waste Tim are magical 🔥
Odin in American Gods is of course portrayed by Ian McShane of Deadwood fame who had a lovely cameo in the Game Of Thrones series as The Hounds warrior priest saviour! (He's best know to us Brits as antique dealing rascal Lovejoy)
LML if you don't know Black Betty by RamJam you need to remedy that immediately. I never made that connection before I buy that was George's intention 💯 Thanks for the stream
Stay strong Mr. Tim! Sending good energy your way 🙏
Had to pull over to the side of the interstate to leave this comment: Pennytree between the hills also echoes Dany's three eggs. BlackRed ash & fire world on one side, WhiteGold ice world on the other. In the middle is GreenBronze, like the copper of the pennies.
😂 I love Tim’s accents lol
Truly epic duo! Amazing livestream, homies.
Absolutely loved this stream, can’t wait for next week! And please, please, please don’t worry about your tangents and focusing on symbolism or the length of the stream, that’s why we’re all here watching and learning from you guys! I hope next weeks is another 4 hours of awesome conversation/re-reading/symbolism tangents!! Also, Goose saying touchdown was absolutely wonderful!

Love dunk and egg, love the analysis
Dunk comes to an Inn, which could represent a weirwood or a weirwood cave. He meets a child, coming up from a stream, legs covered in mud. The Cranogmen who are close to the Children of the Forest are called mudmen.
Simply brilliant. You guys rock :)
There is this shrine in Japan, it looks like a gate and people stick coins into the cracks in its wooden columns to wish for good fortune and all kind of things.
Love you David and Tim!
Big dunk energy
Loved it fellas. Thank you both for the awesome content ❤
Catching the replay..was looking forward to this so much. I love Dunk and Egg and Tim. I dont know what YT is playing at though because they've peppered this with double the amount of ads. Edit.... think they put them all at the start!! 😂 second half was much better 👌
At the 2 hr 40 minute mark, it hasn’t been posed yet by you two whether Dunc was actually Knighted by Sir Arlen. It’s not too consequential either way. If true, probably just George pointing out yet again that “true knights” are better and more rare than real knighted knights. When trying to sign up for the lists, his ears turn red as he says he is a Knight. And in the opening scenes when he’s pondering whether or not to be a sell sword (I think), he says “unless…” As in, “unless… I pretend to be a knight.” Not my observations… In Deep Geek pointed me to that one.

Feels like forever since there's been a Goose cameo
read dunk and egg through multiple times bust stoked for the symbolism perspective you both bring keep this shit up praise garth
I can never be present during a livestream because y'all go live when I'm Gm-ing a Dungeons and Dragons game 😅 but I always try to catch up during the week. I love these re-read breakdowns, getting into the symbolism, discussing the plot etc. Thank you for putting these together guys! 🖤
You and @Greywastetim should actually record audiobook for dunk and egg, it would be great, i can't hear eggs voice any other way now
Touchdown! (I really liked the bit about the bracken symbolism! And the joke about quickly going through all the sigils 🌚)
Thankyou!! I'm re-reading this with ya'll ❤
Ah, very nice to see Dunk and Egg content too now, I love those stories. Here's wishing for Fire and Blood etc content in the future! 😁

18:17 “Penny tree” pun of “pedantry”? So pennytree burning is a break down of rules/law; and therefore a hint that Dunk isn’t a knight?
Epic stream ! looking forward to every Dunk and Egg chapter especially when that suspicious Plum shows up lol

I wonder if Plummer means anything in this context? Could it be a clue that he is a Bloodraven spy? We know that the Master of the Games is a central position. He could, for example, scan for Blackfire suppoters...
we're here for symbolism tell your manager that Dave. i'd watch 3ish streams per book probably a fine progress rate. there's so much in these books i wouldn't wanna skip it.

Maybe, since Penny Tree is located “between the teats,”Penny Tree represents the HEART-possibly Nissa Nissa’s heart used to temper the sword.

"lets see if we can read more than a paragraph without talking about sybolism" we all know the answer is "no" and thats why we're here 😂😂 appreciate the effort though 😁
The tourney will change the price of Egg. He starts off as a naked orphen stable boy, who looks like an egg, worth a copper. During the story, he haches into a golden dragon, a prince and ultimately a king.

You can say he has done the opposite transformation before the story from a prince to a stable boy. A dragon hiding behind the eggshell. At the end of this story, he will do the same again.

Dunk is doing a similar thing. An orphan boy pretending to be a knight, hiding his shame and insecurity behind the shell of his armour and shield. He will eventually grow into his role, becoming what he pretends to be.

Prince Daeron is also doing a similar thing. He is a knight who doesn't want to be a knight, who runs away from his duties. He is drinking himself down into the mud. He could have been King of the Seven Kingdoms. He is a prophet but runs away. Trying to drown himself in alcohol instead.
