For the record, I would literally pay good money to watch Matt Mercer run a one-shot game for the cast of the Fellowship. You could even do it as a charity fundraiser for good measure. Oh man! Come to think of it, you could do a future episode of Legend of Vox Machina with Billy Boyd voicing a rival bard. The two of them could have a bard-off in a tavern or some such.
From Sam knowing nothing before they started their home game and Liam choosing his character for him to now him explaining DnD to Billy so well, I'm so proud hahah
Sam on The Friendship Onion: "I'm an expert, a professional player" Sam DMing the Guest Battle Royale: "I have no idea how any of these rules work, let's just make something up" The brilliant part is how BOTH statements are 100% true and he exercises both parts of his D&D-sona to maximum effect in any given context!
And I loved how he riled everyone up when he decided to finally use it when the others were trying to get that cursed dagger from him. I think Matt called him a "fucking dick." 🤣
"If you're a halfling you're legally required to only remember Halfling Luck when it is the most detrimental for the party for you to succeed a roll." - My buddy who almost exclusively plays Halflings
Elrond failed his persuasion check because Isildur took the resilient feat so he could be proficient in Charisma saving throws. It was so he couldn't be charmed by Sauron
Ashley's probably jealous as heck. xD I remember when Sam wore a shirt with her old picture as a child star on it, Liam said "You looked like a super young Billy Boyd" and she immediately felt much much better about the picture. 😂
If Dom has been getting into DnD lately, and Billy is expressing some sort of interest, I'd honestly love to see them both appear as guests during Campaign 3 (it would be wonderful to see them as guests together, though I think Matt's brain would explode from 10 players)
They might have to do a “split the party” episodes like they did in campaign 1. They could have some of the EXU cast return or some other guest stars along with Dom and Billy. This would never probably happen but imagine Viggo on CR???
@@eventingirl001 …If you have Viggo & some of the cast of EXU on together, then keep him far, far away from Aimee Carrero. Those two would be *dangerously* chaotic together.
This Friendship Onion episode is actually what made me take at look at the Vox Machina anime, which then in turn made me realise that it might be worth watching/ listening to Critical Role first... Been doing that for the past weeks and months during pretty much all of my free time, and I'm currently in early C3. And I am so thankful!!!
I came to see Sam but left with a really great recipe for scrambled eggs. Tried it out today and my goodness it's fantastic! Thank you for the recommendation!!
@@TheCoolCucumber while I would generally agree with that, D&D exists in large part because of Tolkien. As such I think most people would understand using that as a base example. Also considering how often Billy and Dom reference LotR on their podcast I don't know if they're that tired of it.
I mean, Dom voices Archibald Desnay in TLoVM, so he's almost a guest already? But I agree, it would be BONKERS to have them actually sitting at the table.
it’s so cool to listen to Sam, who started playing D&D for his own best friend podcast, talk to a non-player in Billy about D&D and get him intersted in it, while Dom kind of fills the Liam spot in that he’s the best friend who already has D&D experience. feels full circle.
39:36 Truer words were never spoken. Even if you don't quite want him to, that guy who was pooping in the beds of Underdark denizens will indeed worm his way into your heart. Like a cheeky little parasite.
My favorite is just Pippin after he knocks the skeleton down the well and wakes up every creature in the Mines of Moria...just..." crash, crash crash....fuck."
Seeing this unexpected collab pop up in my feed just made my brain short circuit a little bit, this is my 2 current obsessions colliding I'm so excited!!!
Billy hit the nail on the head when he talks about being able to feel the depth of character development in the animated series. The voice actors had already been playing those characters for years and been through the experiences so they had a connection that no writer could create. Can't wait to see the guest appearance.
I hope you two realize that you made playing Halfling characters cool for an entire generation of D&D players. Mr Boyd, you may not be familiar with D&D, but the community cherishes your work. Shout out for your role on Master & Commander. Love that underrated movie.
Boys, I just made Dom’s eggs and let me tell, those were the lightest, fluffiest scrambled eggs I’ve ever made. I am impressed how good those were. Thank you for this! I’ll never make scrambled eggs another way ever again.
When I saw Dom was in the Vox Machina show, I was excited and happy to hear his voice in Archie. After a slow day for me today, seeing you two having Sam on the show, I was excited! Thank you so much for an entertaining show! :3
Halfling luck! Hah! The ability Sam refused to use as his character until the crucial moment when he attempted to keep a cursed dagger from being taken away from him by his friends!
@@mavoc3094 yeah! It was epic when he did it. He refused to use the ability through out the campaign, except for that encounter, he failed anyway rolling a 12 against Jester command spell.
I now think about that not necessarily as a player choice, because it makes absolute sense for the story. For the longest time in the campaign, he simply didn't have the feature, so when it was finally available, the thought process would've probably been "I've done well until now with my own strengths, I don't need luck to succeed." Yet, a curse is a curse, and it still wasn't Sam's or Veth's choice either - the curse forced him to do so. Well, I say it isn't Sam's choice, but let's be real, his choice was to abide by what his character would do, and he chose brilliantly.
That's the second guest named Sam that has voiced a Ninja Turtle. Sam Reigel voiced Donatello in 2003. The other was Samwise Gamgee who voiced Raph in 2012
Sam gives such a great perspective on DnD. Loving failure is such a DM trait haha. I for one love to see everyone succeed and fail equally. This podcast is a gem. So glad It showed up just now haha.
This is unreal. Merri and Pippin talking with Scanlan about an incredible game that was inspired by an incredible fantasy world. Great show. Edit after seeing the comment section: there may be some overlap in these two fandoms…..
Ok here's my vote for where to put the LOTR swear: In that still, silent moment after Pippin knocks that bucket into the well in Moria. I've always wanted him to just quietly say "fuck" before he turns around. Maybe you can ADR it in for the next anniversary edition.
I love how easily Sam explained D&D to someone who's never played. Made it sound so approachable and fun; I'll have to remember that for the next time someone asks me about it!
He has said when off camera he is a pretty quiet introverted person. But is a great actor and can throw on some charisma when needed. Most of the people at the table didn't know how hilarious and good at improv Sam is before they knew him and he really lets his creativity and wild side flow with the Ad reads these days. He talks about it in his "Between the Sheets" interview, IIRC. ( its been a few years since ive watched that interview so i may be mistaken but i know he has talked about it in an interview at some point!) But yeah, he's a pretty quiet chill dude IRL.
@@TheCoolCucumber hehe yeah, had a guy some times show up at our parties back when that was still a thing. About average to quiet, throwing a joke here and there every now and then, sometimes stabbing people with his jokes. Generally chill. And then you saw him on stage, ripping the audience apart. I guess many of them kinda realizes that they will be very lonely if they're always the center of attention
@dingaia You should check out the Legend of Vox Machina Episode 10-12 Q & A on Critical Role's UA-cam (or Twitch if you're Subscribed to them on Twitch) if you've watched the whole Season. Sam is, literally, the quietest person in the room. He speaks when spoken to, but otherwise doesn't say much. Travis is kinda the same way too. It was kinda funny actually. The two tallest, biggest people in that room, chilling behind the couch and not saying much. Meanwhile Mercer, Taliesin, and Grey Griffin redefine the phrase "Chaos Couch." Which, that, in and of itself, is hilarious in a Meta way because Sam and Travis originated "The Chaos Couch." You have "The Chaos Couch" being chill in the back and, what I like to refer to as "The Stoner Bros" aka Matt and Taliesin going full "Chaos Couch." Though, to be fair, Grey Griffin was 100% the instigator the whole night. Now I want to see Grey Griffin and Laura Bailey on the couch at the same time just to see the studio explode from too much "Chaos Energy."
Its so great how excited and into the story of Critical Role Dom is! I love that he has actually taken the time to look into the backstory of the show. Always amazing to see people who are new to Critical Role discover its beauty. Welcome to the Critter community Billy and Dom.
I have to assume Dom did his research of Critical Role because he wanted to know what the heck he was getting himself into when he said "yes" to the show. And then, like the rest of us Critters, he fell down the rabbit hole and never came back.
I discovered Critical Role on UA-cam a year ago and I really love them. I've watched several of their one-shots and I'm now dilligently keeping up each week with their third campaign. Their recent animation show on Amazon Prime exceeded all my expectations. It's a lot of fun to watch :)
Next Red Nose Day Critical Role Charity show should be any of the LOTR cast + Stephen Colbert + any of Critical Role cast + Matt Mercer as DM...I feel like the donations would be amazing for that show.
I've got two -- and it's a couple of my favorite lines by Gimli: "Certainty of death, small chance of success. What the f*ck are we waitin' for?" (Return of the King) Gimli, to Grima Wormtongue in Rohan: "I would stay the f*ck still, if I were you!"
Critter appreciation achieved! Thanks for having Sam on and for supporting The Legend of Vox Machina! Loved the show and will keep checking out more from The Friendship Onion! Billy you should definitely get yourself into a game of D&D sometime soon you would love it!!!
I know of this pod from the Tigerbelly pod that Dom was just on, and this guy from the Vox Machina show on Amazon. Finding new lovely things is just the best
I mean this was totally obvious looking back, but Dom playing Archie(a FUCKING gangster btw) in Legend of Vox Machina means this was almost inevitable.
he was unceremoniously destroyed 😂 I remember thinking it felt like I was supposed to care, but the show did a terrible job setting up character arcs and backstory simply because they cut way too much out. I'm glad it didn't stop me from watching the table top version, because it's way better.
D&D is the type of story telling game where you can start with a heroic fire fighter , enter a burning building and through bad dice roles end with a character who has a phobia of fire. A character totally different from what you expected. That's is one of the things about TTRPG's that make them so special and different.
19:00 some people just watch UA-cam and don't have an account to log in to. Still insane since you both made guest appearances on TV and such. This is an underrated Podcast.
This was an awesome episode. I have been playing various d&d campaigns for the last 7 years and I love playing with my friends. Sam is an excellent voice actor and Scanlon is the best character in Critical Role. Can’t wait to watch part 2 next week.
This is the best! Also, Samuel who let you loose? Liam's been searching everywhere for you, he's worried sick! You need to call him! Sorry, for that btw, it's incredibly late and that's what my tired brain went with i guess.💁 Just wanted to comment something to feed the algorithm, for giving us the greatest mash up out of the blue. I would be so down for a "every cast member of critical role," multipart podcast episode's. I mean, it would be great!! Now, i should really get some sleep, bidet critters😄❤️
I second this -- Billy and Dom need to have on Matt, particularly, with Liam and Sam. I think they would get a huge kick out of meeting the "Master of Exandria," as I like to think of Matt.
Billy and Dom in a unique D&D campaign would be one thing, reprising their characters as Merry and Pippin in a new D&D Adventure would be truly incredible though! Kind of hoping one day we could even see all four hobbits/other members of the Fellowship reprising their characters in a LOTR-inspired D&D campaign!
I'm gonna be one of those annoying complimentary Americans and say, you guys are wonderful! I've got a serious case of a parasocial relationship with each of you and you're some of my best friends. Thanks for doing what you're doing and making my days all the more joyful.
This is amazing, who would have thought that one day these people would sit together and discuss the animation of the critical role show that so many now love!
"MD, MD... mina soda" lmaooo yo i can't believe my love of critrole has led me to this unfound (by me) gem. Time to binge all the other Onion episodes!
I can't believe I've only just now discovered that you two have a channel/show together. I'm sorry I'm late to the party, but on my introductory episode to your content you both open the show by talking about breakfast. Gentlemen, I've subscribed after that joyously hilarious pseudo LotR reference alone.
Still loving to watch Billy and Dom, I'm looking forward to meet them in Dallas hopefully 😁. I can't for next week for another Friendship Onion episode

I love that they are talking about breakfast just like merry and pippin
I lowkey expected Sam to go in with phrase: "Shiny day to y'all"
Great to see this after seeing Dominic in Legends of Vox Machina
Just came by to show some support/love for Sam Riegel and the Critical Role cast. Way to go on making this happen critters!
One step closer to the collaboration of all work no play and the friendship onion.
A Critical Role sci fi one shot with Dom and Billy please!!! 🤞🏻
We’ve been eating nothing but maggoty bread for three fucking days!
19:00 some people just watch UA-cam and don't have an account to log in to. Still insane since you both made guest appearances on TV and such. This is an underrated Podcast.
Dang, who else could smell those scrambed eggs Dom was describing cooking? I'm stuffed, but feeling a mite hungry.
Love Sam 💕 such an earnest and charming person. Great interview.
I've been watching Critical Role since the first month it aired on Twitch. Absolutely love the group, Sam was a great choice to have on!
OMG a trio of CHAOS! I love it! 😀
This was an awesome episode. I have been playing various d&d campaigns for the last 7 years and I love playing with my friends. Sam is an excellent voice actor and Scanlon is the best character in Critical Role. Can’t wait to watch part 2 next week.
The interview starts at 26:30
Bump
Breakfast lessons on the proper techniques of making love to scrambled eggs from Master Brandybuck and Master Took. My life is complete.
This is the best! Also, Samuel who let you loose? Liam's been searching everywhere for you, he's worried sick! You need to call him!
Sorry, for that btw, it's incredibly late and that's what my tired brain went with i guess.💁 Just wanted to comment something to feed the algorithm, for giving us the greatest mash up out of the blue.
I would be so down for a "every cast member of critical role," multipart podcast episode's. I mean, it would be great!! Now, i should really get some sleep, bidet critters😄❤️
Beep beep
I second this -- Billy and Dom need to have on Matt, particularly, with Liam and Sam. I think they would get a huge kick out of meeting the "Master of Exandria," as I like to think of Matt.
Liam let Sam out of his basement?
My thanks to the critrole subreddit for letting me find your podcast! I've got so much content to listen to now!
Billy and Dom in a unique D&D campaign would be one thing, reprising their characters as Merry and Pippin in a new D&D Adventure would be truly incredible though!
Kind of hoping one day we could even see all four hobbits/other members of the Fellowship reprising their characters in a LOTR-inspired D&D campaign!
came here for Sam Riegel, left with a new scrambled egg recipe
I'm gonna be one of those annoying complimentary Americans and say, you guys are wonderful! I've got a serious case of a parasocial relationship with each of you and you're some of my best friends. Thanks for doing what you're doing and making my days all the more joyful.
I came here to see Billy and Dom talking with Sam and instead found myself writing down a cooking method for scrambled eggs.
Two worlds colliding!! Love Billy and Dom, the Friendship Onion and Sam Riegel!
I tried your method for scrambled eggs, and they actually are better! Keep up the great work guys!
This is amazing, who would have thought that one day these people would sit together and discuss the animation of the critical role show that so many now love!
My two most loved fandoms have combined with this. I can die happy now.
"MD, MD... mina soda" lmaooo yo i can't believe my love of critrole has led me to this unfound (by me) gem. Time to binge all the other Onion episodes!
i met sam at dragon con this september. he crashed a critter meet up. he was super nice
I can't believe I've only just now discovered that you two have a channel/show together. I'm sorry I'm late to the party, but on my introductory episode to your content you both open the show by talking about breakfast. Gentlemen, I've subscribed after that joyously hilarious pseudo LotR reference alone.
Such a great friendship! You too gentlemen are the best
Still loving to watch Billy and Dom, I'm looking forward to meet them in Dallas hopefully 😁. I can't for next week for another Friendship Onion episode
Phew!! I thought we werent going to get one today! Thank you!
Damn didn’t even know this podcast existed subscribed right away when I saw all three legends in one room
