I swear it.
Tyrion LannisterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
3:44
You see, I told Varys that I was giving the princess to the Greyjoys.
Tyrion LannisterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
3:49
I told Littlefinger that I planned to wed her to Robyn Arryn.
Tyrion LannisterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
3:53
I told no one that I was offering her to the Dornish.
ElsbethGUEST
19:53
I didn't write it down.
ElsbethGUEST
19:54
But something that gives me some hope is we have a Lord Varys on our side, a real life Lord Varys.
ElsbethGUEST
20:00
And if anybody, you know, what is
MikeHOST
20:02
that?
ElsbethGUEST
20:39
You could just put it on recording like, OK, guys, I'll be back in a couple of hours.
ElsbethGUEST
20:43
Do you think I'm sure we would just geek out the whole time and go back and forth? Well, hey, you know what? Well, I'd love to talk to you, buddy, because, you know, the Game of Thrones thing for me is so there's so many crossovers.
ElsbethGUEST
20:55
And so I had hours of conversation about this Lord Varys that is helping my friend kind of like understand things.
ElsbethGUEST
21:02
And to the point where it's like there's like a 10 year plan to undermine this.
ElsbethGUEST
20:14
And so I don't have my notes on this.
ElsbethGUEST
20:15
I didn't write it down, but something that gives me some hope is we have a Lord Varys on our side, a real life Lord Varys.
ElsbethGUEST
20:23
And if anybody, you know, that is a game of Thrones, game of Thrones reference.
ElsbethGUEST
20:30
So if you're a throne, if you're a GOT person, okay, go ahead, go ahead.
ElsbethGUEST
21:02
You could just put it on recording like, OK, guys, I'll be back in a couple hours.

Rob MahoneyHOST
32:21
I think we might be better for it.
Rob MahoneyHOST
32:24
Also like Varys in Game of Thrones just for the bit.
Rob MahoneyHOST
32:29
Just why not? You know, let's get him a sweet, sweet bangs related toupee.
Rob MahoneyHOST
32:33
I think he really could have pulled it off.

Before Ned could respond, Littlefinger melted back into the shadows, leaving only questions behind.

11:10
Varys found Ned later that evening, the spider's soft footsteps announcing him despite their silence.

Stark...
LizHOST

As we know, at the end of season four, Tyrion gets his personal revenge against his father by killing him.
LizHOST
4:28
Then Varys helps him escape and they arrive in Pentos.
LizHOST
4:33
The plan is for them to get to Meereen and help Daenerys.
LizHOST
4:36
Of course, Jorah Mormont ends up kidnapping Tyrion and brings him to Daenerys sooner.
LizHOST
7:28
Yes, he claims this is Aegon, Rhaegar's son.
LizHOST
7:32
The one everyone says had his head smashed in by Gregor Clegane.
LizHOST
7:37
At this point, you might be thinking, what the hell? It's explained that Varys had orchestrated a baby swap.
LizHOST
7:45
The baby that died years earlier was a tanner's son who had too many kids and was fine with giving up his newest baby for a bottle of rare wine.
NavHOST
79:09
Rhaegar.
NavHOST
79:10
Oh, is Varys...
NavHOST
79:11
Varys has got to be in the play, right?
ClaudiaGUEST
79:13
Varys is in the play.
ClaudiaGUEST
79:15
Is he doing
NavHOST
79:15
weird scheming things where he's feeling the paranoia
ClaudiaGUEST
79:21
yes and pretty much the reason Aerys is even at the tourney because he's not supposed to be there because Varys told him and there's also because we were already talking about this theory about young Griff there is a scene between Varys and Elia where Ilya is okay, Rhaegar's off, who knows where, you know, they don't know, he's disappeared, and Ilya knows, okay, the news is really tightening around her and her children, it's really getting dangerous, and Varys actually offers to bring her children to safety.
ClaudiaGUEST
79:55
Interesting.
SpencerHOST
56:53
Plus, there's only a couple minutes left in the episode.
SpencerHOST
56:55
Varys.
EileenHOST
56:56
Okay.
EileenHOST
56:57
Wow.
SpencerHOST
57:04
That you're putting other characters into
EileenHOST
57:07
it.
EileenHOST
57:07
Here's no, in this paragraph, I saw the word Varys and here's why.
EileenHOST
57:11
Okay.
EmmettHOST
37:24
That frustrates Dany because she's still so far from home.
EmmettHOST
37:27
It frustrates Varys and Illyrio because it changes their own puppet master plans for her.
EmmettHOST
37:32
And now we have a whole new reason to curse the Miranese nod.
EmmettHOST
37:35
It's keeping Dany from being in the place she needs to be to use her dragons against the White Walkers.
RobertHOST
2:57
When Tyrion crept into his father's chambers at the end of A Storm of Swords, Shay was there, lying naked in his bed.
RobertHOST
3:04
This was no set-up, by the way, other than Varys probably knowing and gently pushing Tyrion in that direction.
RobertHOST
3:10
Shay thought the sound of Tyrion entering was Tywin, and was visibly shocked when it turned out to be Tyrion.
RobertHOST
3:16
Tywin presumably had already seen that she could be discreet and also bought.
RobertHOST
3:27
In fact, there is a persistent fan theory that Tywin had long done the very things he criticised Tyrion for.
RobertHOST
3:33
It's just that, whereas Tyrion did it all publicly, he did it in secret.
RobertHOST
3:38
When, in a clash of kings, Tyrion wants to keep Shae's presence a secret, but still visit her regularly, he confides in Varys.
RobertHOST
3:46
Tyrion had set Shae up in a manse on the far side of the city, but knew that Cersei and others would be keeping an eye on him, and so he needed to find a way to visit her in secret.
