I don't play League of Legends, but I'm very invested in the League of Legends Update.
I feel that.
Likewise, lol
More that that, i would watch them play 😂😂😂
Do not start lol, its Better for you
Sameee
So when will we have Viggo Mortensen on League to be Strider guiding the four hobbits through the jungle?
....we need this to happen.
that would be something
If Viggo got hooked, he would rank for sure!
Viggo has to be a Viego main!
@@gabrieldrake7926 its true, the man does nothing half-heartedly
I think Sean Astin calling out to play LoL with you boys is one of the greatest things ever. Especially since there's kind of this stigma around him that he wasn't one of the super tight Hobbit bros (understandably due to fatherhood, etc.). I would like to hear more endearing anecdotes about Sean being nice and cool.
I think they're all fathers except Dominic.
@@awalkthrustorms I think he means when they were filming LotR!
"The girl from the thing who used to be a car and now she's a lollipop."
I have to say that sounds like a great Blockbuster hit. 🤣
-Billy dying of laughter_... "what makes a fish important?"
"A ship... always has... "
".. a captain."
xD
Dont laugh I had the same answer hahaha
As a pirates of the Caribbean fan that's the first thing that came to my mind too 😂
but a boat always has a Penny. NOT PENNYS BOAT!
YES for Sean Astin potentially joining the League team! I said it last time, you've got to have him on the show... Love it as always, thanks so much guys!
Tellya what, I surely would love to see a game with that team, yes indeed.
38.23...Billy cracking himself up almost falling out of the chair. Winning.
I love Billy's "what makes a fish important?!"
Listening to Billy laugh is now one of my favorite pastimes, so... thank you for helping me discover a new hobby... and instead of a "belly laugh", I'll have to start calling it a "Billy laugh" You guys are great! Thank you for starting this podcast and sharing it with us!!!
This whole Podcast could be them plugging sponsors and it would still be incredible
I was talking to my brother about how their ad reads feel a little special.
The friendship interaction in the first few minutes was absolutely lovely to hear!
Brad Dourif is such an incredible and versatile actor! He played the doctor on Deadwood as convincingly as he played Wormtongue in LOTR. Would love to see him as a guest on the podcast! 👏
He guest starred on The X-Files back in their first season and he was incredible. Amazing actor
I remember him originally for his performance in Dune.
I just finished watching deadwood for the first time and it enrages me that it never got finished. He is arguably the best actor in that show.
Much like the voice actor Billy West (Bugs Bunny, Futurama, REN and Stimpy, Howard Stern, etc), Brad Dourif always seems to have at very least a loose connection to some of my favorite stuff. His presence alone has got me interested in Deadwood, and I’m typically not a western guy.
Would like to see you guys get your scale doubles from LOTR on the pod, been rewatching the bonus features and those guys seem a pretty awesome members of the cast
As much as I adore those films and I do, I love all the extra stuff as much! It's amazing to me. It's so fun and amazing to see all the work and details put into the films to make it real.
And when will we see Billy and Dom eating delicious hobbit dishes?
We'll have to send them in, lads. Who wants to do the tomatoes, sausages, and bacon?
@@LeftClick Would it be out of order to send them dishes from the Wheel of Time series? ;)
Can someone send them some official Hobbit Ale from the Green Dragon to try? www.hobbitontours.com/en/discover/the-green-dragon-inn/our-brews/
Send them Redwall dishes!!!
Taters
I love your podcast. It's just like hanging out with friends talking about whatever comes to mind. And laughing ourselves silly over nothing at all. Like the pronunciation of the word Tuna. Good times!
38:00 i was trying so hard not burst into laughter at the top of my lungs but everyone else in my house was sleeping....! Nice one, lads!
Dom always lookin like a rock star every Tuesday 🙏🏻
Don't you know his band - Drive shaft? :)
those shoes tho... amirite?
@@lindakauppinen3539 You all everybody!
"They're both two". I love little golden nuggets like this.
Dominic!! 😂😂 “…she used to be a car, and now she’s a lollipop..”
Hi guys, fun fact: salty herrings from haribo are a german thing (not as salty as anything of the same description from scandinavia), but it seems we only enjoy them in the north of our country, when my son was living in the south he struggled to find any decent "Lakritz " at all. And yes, here it would be pronounced at the end like the Ritz hotel, no ish :)
Am German and lived in the Netherlands for a time: Apparently salty licorice is indeed something for the Netherlands, northern Germany and Scandinavia (had some Scandinavian friends in the Netherlands)
Yeah when he said those were popular in Scandinavia i was like huh? I have never seen that packaging before! So thats explains why if they are sold in Germany.
Billy/Pippin's accent is superb.
Loved that question about the magic on Lord of the Rings.
The fact Dom says he’s “medicated” let’s me know I’m home 😄
Hey guys! I love the show and enjoy every minute watching/listening :)
A little side note - Katjes are actually a German brand as is the package you're holding.
My ex is Finnish and introduced me to salmiakki and I have developed an addiction now. When I went to Finland I had salmiakki icecream and it was mind blowing...
I love the Friendship Onion ❤
I'm way excited to see Dom and Billy every Tuesday you guys always make me happy.
The amount of joy these two bring into our weary, battered, covid-stricken world is impossible to describe. The sun shines a little brighter behind the clouds with every podcast and every hobbit drinking song. Thank you, Dom and Billy! ❤️🥺
All this Scandinavian stuff on the show so far! Where’s Viggo!!??
Amazing, and I cant wait for tonight with Stephen Colbert and The Late Show , stellar episode Dom, Billy and Jon!
My brother and I love pomegranate, and my father would also lovingly bring us cups of the arils from the store sometimes on his way home from work :) We’d eat them with ice cream most of the time, but they were also lovely mixed into different drinks
I have found my happy place and it's listening to these two :)
I've been a fan of both Billy and Dom for 20 years. Love you both, thank you for displaying your amazing dynamic on another current and easily accessible medium to the world ♡
I died when Dom is telling Billy to not say anything when he says Spunk 😂😂
I just LOVE that Dom said ‘keystone species’ - too many people have no idea what the means and hearing someone say it who isn’t in the career of science/conservation makes me happy.
Billy and Dom sharing the Hobbits love of food, gotta love it. Kudos to Colbert on his LOTR knowledge. Bring on the Old Toby!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the best part of my week listening to you two. Heck, it's the best thing that's happened to me in the last few years!
I love how you guys both let a fan sit in as if part of the show! great!!
Dom I love your animal facts. I'm a biology teacher and love doing fun fact friday with my students.
26:03 I love how Billy describing an actress trying to remember her name :D
Annoying commercials aside, I so enjoy this show. You guys crack me up. Thank you!
This podcast is just pure happiness.
I'd loved shark vs. bear question!
"I'm hoping.. this is gonna be Mickey bra.." Luuuulz 🤣 impeccable pronounciation dear Billy Boyd, you nailed it! Though I'm sure you could make a loads of fun about me pronouncing some English, or trying Scottish accent 😁
Hope Sean and Elijah join the team!!
“FOR THE SHIRE!!”
Finally catching up with episodes, and my Swedish heritage is VERY happy to see salted licorice! Next time try double salted black licorice, if you want something with some proper kick.
Such a great weekly experience to look forward to, thank you both for seeing this podcast through!!
Only found this a few days ago and I'm already in love
When I turn on these podcasts no matter what I've been doing, in couple of minutes I find myself turning my head to watch the screen and a big smile appears on my face. What is this sorcery?
i highly recommend to listen the "tuna" and "the boat/ship" part in 0.5 speed, suddenly its like two drunk hobbit mates having a chat xD
Petition to get Dom’s dad on the podcast so he and Billy can relax and eat condensed milk together.
How wonderful these two are! Tuesday is the best day of the week for me right now, and I don't need to say why! Do Dom and Billy agree? AMO VOCÊS SEUS LINDOS! OBRIGADA POR FAZEREM MEUS DIAS MELHORES! 🥰❤
Liquorice is a root, but it looks a lot like sticks. Had to look it up to be sure, because here in The Netherlands they are called liquorice sticks. And the Dutch term for liquorice itself translates to 'sweet wood'.
Love your podcast :D my suggestion for 'eat the world' is something we call 'salmon bellies'. It is made in the shape of an eel and sold as a substitute for eel. Because fishing eel is very problematic and they are close to extinction.
It has a very nice smoked flavor.
Ooh and if you want to try more liquorice, we have tons of choices of course. Some of my favorite are 'zoute rijen' (shaped like little doll garlands), 'tikkels', 'panda drop' and 'piramide drop'. And last tip: soft cinnamon candy canes
We always have the pleasure to listen to you first on the podcast platform and to listen to the show a second time with the video on UA-cam... Twice as much happiness in a day .. !! 😊
Actually the ship vs. boat thing is much harder. There are various definitions depending on who you ask, but to me the most convincing clear-cut definition is that when going in a curve a ship will lean outwards while a boat will lean inwards. That's to do with the shape of the rump, whether or not it's got a keel etc. ... that's one of the few definitions that rely solely on intrinsic qualities of the vessel, so a ship won't turn into a boat if you remove all the lifeboats and a boat won't turn into a ship if you can construct a small enough boat to fit on the larger one.
Trivia, the specific product Katjes Salzige Heringe, salty herring, is a German based candy, and has very little to do with Scandinavia. You won't (easily) find any Katjes salty herrings in stores in Sweden or Norway. More likely in Denmark. There are other fish-shaped salty licourice candy to be found of course! In Sweden the most common is Cloetta's "Malaco Salt sill". Norway is not that salty licorice-loving in its candy (the way Sweden is). Finland (a Nordic country but not Scandinavian) is a big licourice consumer but has more "sweet" salty licourice than the hard-core salty ones (with higher concentration of Ammonium chloride, salmiak). With that said, great podcast!
Huge fan of this show! It is bringing back memories of my high school experience when I used to watch LOTR (including the commentaries) with my BFF. I wanted to clarify the "marry" versus "merry" pronunciation. In the US, it is regional. Being originally from Georgia (in the South), I too pronounce both of those words as the same sound; however, having lived in Massachusetts (in the North) for the past ten years, I can tell you people up here distinctly pronounce "merry" different than "marry." It's the exact same thing with "pin" versus "pen." Hope that clarifies things a bit. Again, love the show! Tuesdays are now my favorite day of the week!
I look forward to these so very much. Like hanging with old friends.
The first girl you spoke to is definitely a metal head and this pleases me. Lovely looking Jackson guitar in the background. I know that headstock and those fret inlays anywhere!
Hi! You two should try the "alfajor". It's a Latin American circular-shaped treat, with two chocolate covered cookies and "dulce de leche" (a sweet milk-derived syrup) in the middle. You would love it!
When I came upon your channel, I was ELATED ❤ To be able to spend this time with you both, is beyond amazing. To say that I am a lover of ALL-things Lord of the Rings, is a major understatement! I have read "The Hobbit" & the trilogy at least 15 times ( I am showing my age in saying so😊) I also am a collector of various copies of "The Hobbit" & the trilogy, beginning during the happiest time of my life, when I was fortunate enough to be an assistant manager of a book store. I believe that the movies are THE BEST depiction of the source material EVER!
Bar NONE 👍 Thank-you for all you do to bring such joy to us ALL,we who love you soo....
🐟 TOO-NAH, TEW-NAH, TCHU-NAH
The LCS is the pro scene for League of Legends, they're in LA, and I'm sure would love to incorporate you guys into an appearance at the very least! Your people should talk to their people, I'd love to see these two worlds I love come together
Hobbits playing League of Legends has made my day!
Listening to two guys masticate. That's entertainment. LOL I fell like this should have been subtitled with a maritime theme. Fish, boats, ships.
I love this podcast. Your friendship just melts my heart, it is an absolute joy and pleasure to listen too.
I'm soooooooo happy they decided to do this podcast - fantastic timing and such a mood lifter.
Happiness … PURE happiness
My highlight of every Tuesday :)
Too short! I need more billy and Dom in my life
Since this came up, although I'm no linguist, I understand that in some parts of the US there is something called the Mary, merry, marry "merger." The vowel sounds of these three words are coming together over time. I understand that it's mostly just people in the northeast US who pronounce all three of them differently. I make a distinction, but I grew up around downstate New York (Long Island and Mid-Hudson Valley).
I was so happy to see a girlfan on the show! Always with the boys lotr fans. ❤️❤️❤️
5:43 - 6:40 is such a sweet story!
- Liquorice ice cream? Naaah.
I'm fuming! TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT THIS SECOND! 😂 I love liquorice ice cream..
“Mastication, it’s very important” needs to be on a T-shirt.
Just saying, the idea of secretly sapient butter trying to survive, wreaking vengeance for a millennia of humans consuming its butter-hivemind-mates, only to be defeated by being spread on the back of a cat to create a Buttered Cat Paradox would be a fun premise for a Doctor Who story.
LOL!!!! Brilliant :)
"Red vines, what can't they do?"
Bonus points if you get this reference immediately or was thinking it yourself when they were talking about it ;)
Just caught up all the shows, and here is my BUTTER story.
My brother and I grew up big midwest eaters (Grew up in Michigan). Our grandparents on dad's side lived in FL and we would alternate visits with them and mom's parents in West Virginia. For big eaters could there be a better value than a buffet? Our loving grandparents took us to our first ever called "Duff's Smorgasbord". We were quickly assured the cost per plate was not as accurate as "per person" because we were free to eat as much as we could. Dad enforced the Christmas/Easter rule that we had to start with some "real" food before destroying the dessert table. My younger brother thought he hacked the rule getting his starter salad, for on the salad stand was a large bowl of what looked like little scoops of french vanilla ice cream. Dad tried to hint at the disappointing mouthful about to occur by asking, " how many rolls are you getting with that first plate?" As we sat, the entire family watched my little brother took a full spoonful of scooped butter. The assumption was strong enough to drive his mastication a solid three chews, before the proud face melted into disgust. We all laughed as he asked, "what is wrong with this?"
Q???
In your travels, have either of you had a similar lack of knowledge and been tricked by an unexpected food?
I feel like I want to give Dom honey and lemon his voice is so raspy! Love you guys though! x
League of Legends update!! This is the news I’m craving! 😃
Let the heroes of the Shire assemble!
Found myself listening to the podcast, then switched over to UA-cam to have a glance now and then, and now planted myself in the comfy coach with a Flan dessert looking at these guys railroad from every single question. SO good and let us all be honest... we are learning a thing or two as well.
Cheers guys
Oh my how i love these i have started at the beginnin and watched a few recent ones in between and i have decided.....there are NOT ENOUGH!!!! MORE PLEASE!!!
You guys make me so happy every Tuesday 😊
Another absolutely delightful episode-keep em coming!! :)
30:14 "Should I read this Luke- no, Bill- you're Billy, right?"
Dom looks so high, lmao.
Hi billy and Dom. I´m João and i am a great fan of your work, especially Merry and Pippin. I just want to say that you two have a great talent and both of you are my heroes. A great hug bros
love you guys, thanks so much for taking the time. Keep it up!
I love how part of this podcast has just devolved into a couple of nerds trying to get their friends to join their League of Legends team. The wholesomeness of it all makes me smile.
Love the bit with Maria, great stuff!
I'll have you know you can make black liquorice ice cream, cakes, BBQ sauce and above all liqueur. It just takes the twisted mind of a Scandinavian.
They forgot to promote the best thing ever tree beards water 💦 it literally makes you taller !!
I feel like Dom and Billy smoked a little of that good stuff before this one. Loved this episode.
Best podcast out right now chaps, sending love from London UK x
Dominic monaghan is adorable. 😍😍😍
Just watched you guys on Colbert. So hilarious! I can't believe you managed to stump Stephen with LotR trivia. Good job! haha
4:41 you know they're friends when they keep referring to Sean Astin as mellon.
I am the same as Billy with actor's and actresses' names 😂😂😂😂
I got some salty liquorice recently after listening to this episode; definitely get the pissy aftertaste thing.. but you get desensitised after a while and I’m starting to love it. Appreciate the discovery of salty liquorice thanks fellas!
I was listening to this on Spotify. And just had to come here to see Toby's face
I'm a native/lifelong American English speaker and I honestly don't hear a difference between "Merry" and "Mary." It's really strange, because I know they're being enunciated differently thanks to context clues, but they sound exactly the same.
Super weird, and so interesting!
