Billy & Dom Quiz Sisters on Their LOTR Knowledge! | The Friendship Onion

[@BobbyLCollins]

Two grown men wailing high-pitch frequencies directly into microphones is precisely what I signed up for!

[@OrangePukeko]

But not what I, or my headphones, was prepared for.

[@jmfoster]

I'm sitting here grinning ear to ear at work listening to Billy read my comment! I'm so excited for your upcoming podcast with the Phelps brothers! Thank you all for being lights in this world! 😀

[@dina019]

Biologist here, currently on expedition to Antarctica. You are correct Dom, no Musca domestica in Antarctica, in fact there are virtually no insects on the continent (only on sub Antarctic islands), but there are flies, well, specifically midges here, in summer. As you can imagine, it is very easy to bring invasive insect species when you travel, hijacking on your clothing and personal things, so we have to treat our clothing to avoid that before we fly south. Thanks for the podcast Billy and Dom, have been really enjoying listening to you both!

[@thomasferraro479]

Uh oh, Johnny Clues screwed up again. Merry and Pippin are first cousins. He's also cousins to Frodo but once removed. The player was correct with her answer, which means there should of been no tie breaker and she should win the T-shirt. Must make this right lol

[@jackiekreutzer166]

Yes! I knew I remembered Peter Jackson mentioning this when Billy and Dom were on the Colbert show together!! That's why before the girl even gave her (correct) answer, I said "it's Pippin!"

[@thomasferraro479]

@@jackiekreutzer166 yeah I was trying to remember from the movie, I think it was Pippin at the prancing pony that that gave Frodo's identity away and said he was his second cousin twice removed

[@sharbean]

If you ever have The Tolkien Professor, Corey Olsen, on the show, you can challenge him with really challenging LotR questions. But really, he would be great for fun discussion, not just a quiz.

[@JerryBanks572]

Just ask where orcs come from, cause there isn't an answer. Or maybe there are to many answers.

[@musigalglo]

He's going to be on soon!

[@sharbean]

@@musigalglo I hope they give him more than just a short segment!

[@musigalglo]

@@sharbean 2 weeks!

[@atlasfeynman1039]

@@JerryBanks572 Pretty sure the response by that professor at the end for "1 question to ask Tolkien" he asked about Orc origins...

[@ListerWalkthroughs]

"why you always hanging around shit, never mind, you don't have to tell me, my friend Dom just told me". This is comedy genius.

[@pendafen7405]

Billy & Dom would make a brilliant couple of girl dads. They conducted their guest spot with the sisters so well.

[@supriya55]

this makes me think why hasn't there been a proper game show on LOTR hosted by Billy and Dom! like the recent hogwartz tournament.

[@SheBloomsAgain]

Love, LOVE "The Friendship Onion". You guys are the only podcast I can't get enough of. Found you last week and am ploughing my way thru the back episodes. Not sure what I'll do once I'm all caught up and have to wait for TUESDAY to roll around. The two of you are a delight.

[@hojowarf6488]

You were supposed to say: Billy:"The pidgeon is talking, Dom!" Dom:"Don't encourage it."

[@vn_bricks]

Every tuesday morning when i wake up i know that today is gonna be good day cause new episode comes out.

[@lukedabbsmusic]

How Dom was able to say "Abscess Makes the Fart Go Honda" without cracking a smile is beyond me. LOLOL

[@anathem9982]

I'd love to see the Critical Role crew as guests! Or maybe even see Dom as a guest character in Campaign 3 👀

[@silverisblack]

Laura Bailey... She did a few things with Dom.

[@trinichic210]

This comment aged well! They had a fun interview with Sam recently 😁

[@TeamTommyDragon]

Another amazing episode with Billy and Dom makes me so happy and puts a smile on my face as soon as I hear the music start:)

[@narnianprincessedits]

54:21 Excuse me while I jam out to their quiz theme song 🥰🎵 Also I love how excited they get whenever the contestants get a correct answer 😂

[@jaanaffi]

Discovered Wild Things here on YT and have been binge watching them since. Very interesting! Love the passion and excitement Dom has for animals❣️ Love the traveling and seeing different places❣️ And I keep on loving Tuesdays because of you two, because of this podcast❣️ Greetings from the snowy place ❄️!

[@daviddavtian4453]

Oh GOD a huge shire tournament in League would be SOOO crazy! With Dom and Billy as a final boss in the last match up ! :o

[@evilellyssa]

The idea of Billy telling a fly to buzz off and eat $#!÷ is hilarious. I love these guys!!!!!

[@claracarmona5388]

I love how Billy and Dom always do more of the friendship onion episodes, I'm looking forward for some more ☺️

[@swimbananas]

Thanks for coming to visit us!

[@djbritnell]

Would be great to see David Chang, the owner of Momofuku, on as a guest. Would make for an incredible Eat the World segment.

[@jellifer214]

I love his shows! I'd love to see him on here!

[@Absolutelysavage]

My question got answered! :) Love it! Tom Sheeran it is from now on!

[@AlienHunter47]

5:50 Question for Dom: Do fleas have any use at all? I neither fear nor mind insects, but I just don't see any use to those bloodsuckers. And Billy giving funny faces to the camera during 'Eat the World' is always so entertaining. Love the podcast!

[@LindaC616]

And ticks

[@pendafen7405]

'In Japanese, 'momo' means 'peach' or 'a hundred/a lot'. 'Fuku' has multiple meanings, including the verbs 'to blow/puff/spurt' or figuratively 'to brag/boast' (one supposes the connotation is akin to the English '(full of) hot air), the collective noun 'clothes', and the abstract nouns 'abundance/riches/luck/happiness/good fortune/blessings'. The most appealing translations of 'momofuku' then are probably 'lucky peach/es' or 'lots of luck'.

[@katherinekibbe4254]

Watching your podcasts help me with the long nights with my newborn daughter.

[@kurtsiecolferites2160]

That LOTR trivia was HARD. I only knew a couple of answers. Great podcast as usual. Also, can’t say that I share Dom’s love of houseflies or insects in general. I have a very severe insect phobia. But to each their own.😬

[@Alien--eh2yh]

That random ass screech at the beginning had me hysterical 😂😂

[@raelenecobb6667]

I sooooo love the quiz song !!!! I sing it randomly all the time lol

[@furociousfyve]

"Why you being suspicious?" Lololol 😆

[@VukasinPopovic]

Critical role as guest of the podcast would be incredible!!!

[@layneinchains848]

The most wholesome show on the Internet - thanks guys ❤️

[@Arch_The_Turtle]

I love those two. They are wonderful to listen to. I always listen to them when i am bored or doing things

[@asexualtrickster]

If either the cast of Critical Role guests on The Friendship Onion or Dom or Billy guests on CR I will actually lose my entire mind 💙

[@pendafen7405]

48:31 funny how though Billy is the older and wiser and more settled of the two, he still has that youthful Pippin-esque tendency to watch what his partner is doing then join in.

[@costasspartan1894]

Billy and Dom love your work. You should think about getting Jed Bophy on here as a guest.

[@katieherskasherman4297]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder .. come on guys 🤣🤣🤣

[@raelenecobb6667]

Also that is the most adorable story of how Bobby Johnson got his name ! Love it!

[@emu_warrior]

I love those sisters accents, saying "yall", very cool

[@katherinekibbe4254]

I love that y'all talked about my state! Mississippi love here!

[@mariaposchmann]

Absolutely loved this episode, guys! You make my day! Also loving Billy's facial expressions on eat the world 😁

[@wolfe1970]

Surprised Dom said about how much he likes flys and would love to study them, then said he loves Mantid's who primary food is flys lol

[@pmiranda512]

I love the friendship onion! Keep em coming!!

[@aniao8745]

These podcasts make my week!

[@elenoryn4700]

I totally love the quiz you are doing! I definitly am a fan of Middle Earth and as a reader of the Silmarillion I feel quite nerdy knowing most of the answers :D

[@elizabethwelch8691]

My 5 and a half year old is a Lord of the Rings expert! I think you should have a children's quiz!

Great episode. Love Billy’s relationship advice. The new love god.

[@gabewinter9406]

Aragon in the movie mentions giving frodo safe passage along gorgoroth during his plans to be a diversion when they head to the black gate

[@nillarafael3883]

Thanks so much onve again! It's great to know what a fly would say to a human should they get the opportunity :) Here's my weekly suggestion of trying to have Chris Hadfield on! Science, music, writing fiction and non-, and of course an astronaut. I reckon he'd be a perfect fit! Thanks again, looking forward to many more moments with you.

[@atlanticvamp]

Hearing them talk about having an entomologist on, and remembering how Dom previously dated an entomologist, maybe they should kill two birds with one stone (so to speak), and have her on! Dom already knows her, and they could talk about insects!

[@beatrixtrautmann8808]

That would be absolutely awesome if you brought the Phelps twins onto your show. Her Harry Potter characters Fred and George are my favorite characters. And thanks Billy for mentioning their podcast. I knew nothing about it. But I'll give it a listen as soon as I have time.

[@AJ-zy2ol]

That is the best sauce - I use if for everything I want spicy. Fantastic with wontons.

[@legolite45]

Was just thinking it was that time of the week when the episode would go up.

[@Feathertusk]

Get a geologist on, there are plenty out there who are vast in knowledge and well renowned. As a side not Dr. Dubendorfer from NAU, with various colleagues, made a geologic map pseudo based on middle earth. Raquel Nuno was on Star Talk talking about Lunar Geology and that would give Billy a chance to get some more space knowledge.

[@cbwill465]

cheers for the 9am ear destruction lads lol

[@katherinekibbe4254]

While y'all are in Mississippi come see us down here in small town Monticello in Lawrence county!!

[@Match143]

Billy and Dom Eat the World made me VERY hungry today lol

[@Keersten07]

Oh man, it would be incredible if you could get David Arora on the show! He wrote Mushrooms Demystified and “All That the Rain Promises and More”. The second one is pretty much the perfect pocket guide if you want to forage for your own mushrooms. He has such a wonderful sense of humor too. You could even eat some sort of interesting wild mushroom dish for Eat the World during that episode! Matsutakes or morels or even some sort of desert made with candy cap mushrooms (they have a sort of mapley flavor).

[@JacquelineMcGinnis]

Still subscribed! My cat is concerned though.

[@ladymalai]

Besides The Friendship Onion, the only other podcast I listen to is Alan Alda's Clear and Vivid. I love his perspective on connecting and communicating. I think he would be a fantastic guest on your podcast.

[@jayfadden9292]

Please have the cast of Critical Role on 🙏

[@thejojobaggins]

13:01 Gonna make a wild guess and suggest that he’s referring to Kim Jung Ki 39:01 The ramen they’re eating is Korean, the sauce is… Japanese?

[@aelliot31]

FYI. i tried to find that specific brand of momofuku chili crunch on Amazon and sadly it is not there. if the person who provided it to billy and dom know a website to get it from that would help a lot. there are different kinds of momofuku crunch on Amazon, but there are many varieties and I'm not sure which one to try.

[@ladyburnside1201]

Hi guys, Much love from me to y’all and your families 💕 I’ve just found your channel, subscribed (cause you’re awesome) and have binged your shows. Would you ever consider David Paulidis coming on your show? He does the series’s “missing 411” and his stories are fascinating and terrifying. I’d LOVE to see the three of you talk. You’d bring such an interesting aspect of questions for his research!! Either way, love y’all and will continue to listen! PS- love the swear word challenge for LOTR, wish I had a clever addition for you to read 😩 Edited addition, after further listening to the video: Absence makes the heart grow fonder; however out of sight out of mind. So for some long distance relationships work, and for some, they don’t. No shame in a failed long distance relationship.

[@thewholecity]

That was quite a tricky quiz likes. But hey! I right liked it. Loving the entire show again.

[@harmenroelf296]

You should get the wine expert and the cheese expert in on the same day if you can (Also the wine and the cheese.).

[@RenVasTerul]

It would be amazing if Riot hired you guys to voice some characters in the upcoming seasons of Arcane :D

[@benjbaird6851]

I think Merry's dad was Pippin's mom's brother. Merry and Pippin are first cousins, no?

[@thomasferraro479]

You are correct. I left a comment about it too. The other player technically won the quiz.

[@RalphRoberts1]

Lol he had to run to the toilet first. Like "hang on I gotta pee! I'll be back."

[@lordmath331]

I always evaluate my knowledge with this videos, I'm glad to tell I only fail in one of them, hehehe.

[@swizard0922]

Bloody fantastic!!!!

[@emerraldx]

on Sunday nite I dreamed I kidnapped Billy Boyd away from Dominic Monaghan, led Dom on a high speed car chase around some road construction, through a barrier on an overpass that turned out to be unfinished so the car went off the edge before I saw it coming, we flew through the air slowly enough and were high enough that we climbed out of car windows and jumped off the side like free divers and I told Bills not to worry and just enjoy the feeling of flying because it would all be over before we hit the ground . . . and then I woke up, thinking maybe I was just too excited to wait for the next episode of The Friendship Onion - dreams are so weird sometimes 😜

[@yorkshirelassdiaries4841]

We had an Atari as kids. Loved it.

[@Aurora-qn2dx]

Awsome podcast..i have some ideas for 'eat the world" you two should try "Fairy bread" its white slice bread with butter and sprinkles.. unsure if its an Australian childrens party thing or something common world wide. Or a "spider" vanilla ice cream in Coca-Cola.. Also an Australian drink. There is also a traditional south italian (Calabria) spicy spread called Nduja..its usually eaten on italian bread but you can put it in some pasta ,pizza or simply spread it on warm crusty italian bread wich i recomend..warning it is not vegan and is spicy. Or you can try "burrata" if you can get a hold of it..not vegan either.

[@benhiggins9515]

Thats a really nice high note

[@heidike9514]

First ever episode for me, so hello. Not generally very squeamish but have to admit that listening Dom talk about flies in shit while eating my lunch, which was already slightly ambiguous looking, made me second guess if I should finish... the food. Powered through it, though. Note to self: To avoid nausea pause the video and then eat... Had to pause the vid to write that. Not sure how this comment contributes to the society but what the hell, sharing is caring.

[@zaiga2995]

Where can I find the fly shirt on brown color? 🤔

[@davsavchav]

4:00 I prefer beetles for this role in nature

[@yorkshirelassdiaries4841]

How deep is Dom’s voice! Could play Batman lol

Спасибо за подкастюб! Песни Билли люблю. Explain it to me, please. What was the answer to question of spelling the Mississippi word?

[@kenllixx]

Well I'm actually one of those people. I love that jumper! For real 👌

[@pendafen7405]

5:52 not fleas & ticks, they wreak havoc on animal & human health. Plus, while Dom is right in what he says about the importance of flies and giving them respect, flystrike can be massively damaging to livestock if not caught and treated quickly.

[@nathanthomson1931]

You need to try Canadian poutine for your "Eat the World" section

[@travislayes6024]

Beautiful voice

[@Biokamikaetzchen]

I highly recommend Geoff Marshall for the London underground or public transport in general. Does great, informative youtube videos 😊

[@emu_warrior]

Dom: you said every insect has a purpose. What about beg bugs!? They are Soron's spawn, what purpose could they have!

[@badfifaplayer4504]

If you guys are interested in Umami flavouring, you could try dishes with and without MSG. It’s what elevates chinese takeaway over home cooked

Another vote for Critical Role as guests, but beware, Critter Hugs are very enthusiastic.

[@BlueJay2]

I want to know the usefulness of wasps. I've tried to research this, and I am a zoology major in college so I'm not entirely unknowledgeable about this sort of topic, but I can't find a major need for them in the environment. We all know how useful mosquitos are, so we just have to deal with them, but dang I wish wasps would just all disappear XD
