Billy & Dom Talk to Critical Role's Sam Riegel! (Part 2 of 2)

[@chelseal8448]

It's a funny dynamic to see Sam on the outside of such a tight friendship as Dom and Billy, which is probably how guests feel when they go on AWNP with Sam and Liam.

[@dermihandro]

Now we need Dom and Billy on awnp!

[@SimonBarnes]

@@dermihandro this must happen!

[@thewholecity]

Ha ha so true.

[@cosplayannie]

God I miss AWNP so much 😭

[@Delphi_star]

"Eating on camera, that's disgusting!" Sam Riegel, you have no room to judge here. Whip cream and wine comes to mind.

[@avengemybreath3084]

That’s the joke dude

[@_oldmanjoel]

We seriously need them as guests in a critical role LoTR thematic one shot

[@bananafish58]

YES!!!

[@AlphaScorcher96]

OR SCREW IT PUT THEM IN THE C3

[@WMfin]

Especially since the new The One Ring 2.0 ttrpg is out!

[@damdamfino]

Oh for sure Amazon is gonna hire CR to run a LotR one shot around when the show comes out. Now they need to use their connections to get dom and billy to play too!

[@GG-it9cj]

Yes plz!

OH MY GOSH I also thought this!! Glad I'm not the only one 🤣

[@CrisSelene]

That's brutal.

[@eb4305]

Surely there is only so much room in a skull?

[@saucyblossom]

"I've always wondered how much a gallon is." "Well, it's a gallon!" Delightful.

[@nyromath2195]

"This, my friend, is a gallon" "It comes in gallons? I'm getting one."

[@domaniac9119]

Here I am sitting in Heidelberg, Germany, learning that Sam Riegel's Oma was one of us. That's awesome.

[@colinbentleywilliams]

When I woke up today, I didn’t know that I needed to listen to three men discuss soup for nearly an hour, but it’s perfect.

[@allyshazaelani5130]

"Let's turn that five minutes into a full hour" better be code for "Would you like to guest on Critical Role"

[@TDiveley87]

I love Sam so much. The dude oozes humility, and he seems to have such a kindness about him.

[@miridium121]

I can't believe Sam missed out on Dom's big flask, considering ridiculous sized drinking vessels has been one of his bits in three campaigns now 😂

[@TaliPolk]

that's the Elvira water bottle it's fucking fantastic. can't recommend it enough

[@ithinkyoushouldleftovers5653]

been listening to the Dom & Dragons podcast per some people's recommendation last week and it's cool how quarantining led to more voice work for Dom and also was the main reason he started playing D&D, because of how much time he had on his hands 😅

[@thehikingviking2049]

Nothing makes you look more like a hobbit again than holding a gallon water bottle.

[@Lupin788]

"This, my friend, is a pint." "It comes in pints?"

[@Babawze]

Billy -What's that? Dom -This, my friend, is a gallon. Billy -It comes in gallons? ....I'm getting one. (Sean -You had a whole half already!!) Sam -me too!. * *pull up a giant tankard/flask/gas can*

[@thomasmurray16]

...He knows my name.. Gentleman! Well if that didn't make my year! Much love to you both. Really looking forward to seeing what you both have in store for us in the future! And getting Billy to play DND!

[@beartoe08]

My childhood best friend just passed away and yalls chemistry always reminded me of him and I. Ever since his passing, this podcast means a whole lot more to me now than it already did. Love the podcast, you guys are great.

[@rdp16rulez]

Thanks for sharing your story. I can't imagine losing someone that close to me. I hope that you can stay strong for your friend and those who love and care about you. Have a wonderful day.

[@zedgathegreat9122]

"That's not soup, that's a sauce!" Had me in stiches. Holy hell, that entire moment in the conversation was amazing. Oh god, love you all. I came here because I saw Sam as guest, and didn't know this existed. I've binged every episode since... And enjoyed every second since. One of the things about this show I love about all else is how unedited you are. You just let things happen, you let a conversation go on, you let guests go on forever about something (i.e., Colbert about his daily schedule) and it's still so interesting and great. It might not be funny, but it's insightful and still entertaining. Or it it's just everyone relaxed and just enjoying the moment. And I really got your format when I watched the Colbert episodes... you really gave it the guest to guide how the show went, really let them talk about what they wanted to say. And that was far more interesting, engaging, and worth watching then anything else out there. Although I got to say you guys giving Sean crap was absolutely amazing some of the greatest things I've ever seen. The whole giving the pilot giving hand signals well always make me laugh. I would love to see you guys in prime time just having a great old time with a single guest and just plain having fun rather then anything serious. Cheers, and excited to see each new episode!

[@tommybradly3735]

As a british guy I do love the dynamic between these two brits and outside Americans. Dom saying gubbins and Sam replying 'Whats a gobbin?' cracked me up! I'ev also watched a few inter views with Sam and for some reason this one feels the most genuine when he's recanting tales of his life. It really is a shame they didn't have the time to talk about his time as a teen in theatre because it's a very interesting story.

[@TheSquinette]

Just got into this show! Showed up in my recommendations from Critical Role. Already hooked! Billy and Dom are my new BFF Goals!

[@MisaXir]

This is so wonderful and heartwarming! Like a big bowl of Matzo ball soup

[@kaizen5023]

Dom was excellent as Archie in LoVM! Also, I wanted to see Sam's face during the Manscaped sponsor spot... or let him make a skit for them like he does for Critical Role sponsors, LMAO

[@bananafish58]

The thought of Sam doing the spot just 🤯!

[@cosplayannie]

Dom and Bill need to be on *All Work No Play* with Sam and Liam incase it ever comes back :') Two best friend duos!

[@CptRonSolo]

Doms "i know dom, thats what im telling ye" killed me lol So cool sam was on here big fan of em all. Also dom yes your character was pretty cool on vox machina!

[@terrenceogden6668]

Found your podcast via Critical Role as well. It's fantastic.

[@Padfoot8701]

I love every episode, but these ones with Sam have been my favorite so far. The three of you have such a great, easy chemistry. I would LOVE to see more Critical Role guests come over to chat with Dom and Billy, and even more than that, I would LOOOVE to see Dom and Billy guest star on Critical Role (in a one-shot, mini series, or otherwise). I could listen to the three of these guys chat all day about literally anything.

[@budchrysler6340]

I love this podcast, been looking forward to part 2! Really hope Sam Riegel comes back and does another!!

[@RedBairnMedia]

It comes in gallons? I'm getting one!

[@Shannis75]

I just found your podcast via Critical Role, and subscribed immediately. :) Dom's performance in TLOVM was amazing, and I'd love to see both of you do at least a cameo in the future episodes. :) You should DEFINITELY do a D&D episode for the podcast, but just be careful: First you think you're just doing a oneshot with your buddies, but it quickly turns into a habit. Before you know, you'll be livestreaming your sessions for over ten thousand live viewers across the globe and running a your own media company that is turning your gaming sessions into a hugely popular animated series.

[@bananafish58]

That was kind of you to warn them!

[@Shannis75]

@@bananafish58 It's a real slippery slope! :D Honestly, though, I would love to see them do a oneshot D&D session, and having them on Critical Role as guests would make the Critters lose their minds.

[@claracarmona5388]

It will be fun that the friendship onion podcast actually do the livestreams, what a lovely day for me to watch another awesome episode for the day 😁

[@cruzy94]

the perfect podcast: two best mates from Lord of the Rings, talking to an actor about Dungeons and Dragons, and throwing in a Micah Richards reference. Top drawer lads

[@d4n4nable]

I believe that's a Michael Richards (Seinfeld's Kramer) reference, who famously "burst onto the scene" to great applause.

[@daisykid3]

Dom was FANTASTIC as Archie!!! His dialog with Percy really did feel like two old friends going back and forth. So happy to have him be a part of the Critical Role family now. Also Sam talking about his grandma and her soup was so sweet! ALSO I love that I know what gubbins is because of Gavin from Achievement Hunter/Slo-mo Guys!!

[@meghansmith2664]

Lovely chat to listen in on, really enjoyed this episode! Please have Sam back sometime! Very grateful to you for sharing your oma's story. I'm with Billy, cracking up at "dobber" being in Vox Machina. Thanks Dom for properly representing us 🤣

[@narnianprincessedits]

0:11 Not even a minute in and already this episode makes me so happy 😭😭😭 Great episode! Lots of great fun moments 😊❤

[@neutraljump]

This was such a heart warming encounter to watch, must've been the halfling chemistry.

[@elite6642]

I love the energy the 3 of them have. Sam has a similar vibe and friendships with the cast of critical role as they do with the cast of LOTR. I think having them on as guests on a critical role episode would be beyond amazing. I think more actors should get into DND so they can express there great improve and story telling skills!

[@beccahart5963]

Loved hearing all the grandma stories! What a quirky bunch!

[@garmadonthesensei59]

The way this opened up… omg that made my day 🥺❤️

[@KingKrath1]

I love that you guys got together to do this podcast. I hope that you guys and Sam and LIam do a joint like All Work No Play and Friendship Onion thing. Would be awesome. D&D started because of Lord of the Rings, halflings were originally called Hobbits in the game, but due to copy right, they had to change.

[@jamiecannestra5109]

I love that there is this connection now to my two favorite franchises of LOTR and Crit Role! So fun to watch!

[@bananafish58]

25:07 Sam: How do you choose; right?! 😂I adore that man!

[@impastabowl2328]

The fact that this exists makes me so happy...Lord of the Rings is my favorite franchise of all time, and I've watched all of campaign 1 of Critical Role, and now it's being brought together which is surreal. They should definitely play D&D on the show!

[@Sandra-cj2wv]

Thomas Murray has a point. I also came for Sam and found the Friendship Onion and will stay and I’m so glad i found FO

[@Grayson.P]

Sam saying he is a food snob and most of the foods he likes being expensive is so relatable.

[@DuzaRed]

Sam is absolutely wonderful to have on the show.

[@bananafish58]

What a delightful episode! Please, please, please have Sam return soon to do a mini-DnD episode. I bet Billy will love it so much that you'll decide to do a part 2 to extend your adventure! Came for Sam, but I'm staying for The Boys!

[@XSideSaladSpikeX]

This podcast helps me keep track of what day it is.

[@billberndtson]

I enjoy going to a YT creator's home page once a member of CR is on their channel to see how much of a Critter Hug their videos get. Not bad, though if Sam mentioned being on here during a Thursday as opposed to during the LoVM Watch Party I expect the amount of hits per video would have been double this. We're all very proud of our cult.

[@ForeverDegenerate]

(looks at their Sub Count) Nah... I think Dom and Billy are fine. ;) You have to remember that while Critical Role is only just now bursting into the International Mainstream, Billy and Dom have been part of the International Mainstream for the last 20 years. Still, they'll probably, at least, double the eyes on their product because of this; especially if they bring Sam back or other members of Critical Role. Seems like Dom saying "yes" to Legend of Vox Machina is about to pay big dividends for The Friendship Onion!

[@rmasoni]

Billy & Dom + Critical Role must happen.

[@kelsall22]

The Friendship Onion Live would be great, just make sure you head back home to the UK for at least a couple of the shows!

[@nathanthaxton7492]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Billy and Dom NEED to play DnD!

[@Funkythulhu]

Dom does, and Billy is very interested after talking with Sam.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

I think Shadowrun would be more to their taste, since both said they are more into Sci-Fi than Fantasy.

Yeeesssss moar D&D players is awesome. It's the best game because of imagination

The beginning of this episode gave me an idea for an episode. cover your best pub ales, and best pub songs to sing. ok go!

[@seanmcgcostumes]

I discovered y'all made this podcast thanks to Critical Role, and this is a delight! And I completely believe Dom's tale about the melted cheese in a soup bowl because when I was REALLY little, every time we went to the local buffet restaurant I would take a soup bowl, fill it with melted cheese, and then "sprinkle" on shredded cheese, pepperoni slices, and Gold Fish crackers because I thought that was a soup. And you know what? It was delicious. 😆

[@LuckyStar2516]

Just wanted to say that I loved the LoTR trilogy. It brought me to fantasy in general and eventually to DND with Critical Role with the story telling. So great to see this all come together. It’s fantastic!

That buttermilk is definitely a thing. Nice, proper milk (might have to be non-pasteurized for it to work) doesn't get sour but kind of coagulates and is not bad at all, if somewhat weird for the non initiated. I grew up on the stuff in Latvia, where we call it rūgušpiens

The Pavlova that came from Russia was Anna Pavlova a ballerina. The meringue like dessert you are thinking of was created in Wellington, NZ in her honor (light, airy, shaped like a tutu). It's important to note that Australia made her a dessert in her honor first, but it was jelly based.
