  • Guys. Please use spoiler warnings

    10 minutes into a three hour episode and spoiled the entirety of Dunk and Egg. Like jeez guys. It’s three hours I thought I’d be safe to listen to get the vibe of this podcast. But one of the hosts literally said how Dunk and Egg end up and pretty much ruined it. So that was super fun.
