[@scottgalloway1819]

My brother David is a huge LOTR fan - in high school he learned to read & write elvish and all that, full on. When he was 17 he emigrated from Glasgow to the USA on the day that the fifth Harry Potter book came out. He happened to bump into Billy Boyd at Glasgow International Airport, and the only available paper that he had to hand for an autograph was this book. So his copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has the inscription, "David, I'm not in this one! Billy". True story.

Possible plot: Sauron was not initially a servant of Morgoth but a sensitive helisexual bullied by Isildur's orange-looking ancestor into paying for a wall around Gondor. Morgoth encouraged him to fight against heteronormativity.

[@NitaKerns]

Your ocean creature stories remind me of one my Dad has (often) told me. MY Dad grew up in Flordia, and he spent many years fishing and swimming in the Gulf and the swamps. One particular time, he was snorkeling alone in the Gulf and since it had been stormy for a few days before, the water was kind of murky. He had an uneventful swim, until he decided to head back. As he was turning around to swim back to shore, a very large, very dark shadow passed between him and land. He instantly became aware of how vulnerable he was and hauled ass to shore. 🤣 I would've had my brown suit on!

Warm greetings from Germany.

Hey Dom and Billy I just want to say that your friendship is extremely and genuinely beautiful. LOTR has been a big part of my life and as dreary as this world has been with the pandemic, your podcast has always brightened my day when I go to work or whenever I can watch it and see you both connect and have fun. I will be honest I've never really listened to podcasts at all and you changed that for me. You both bring me so much joy and Billy I do have to say that everytime I hear The Last Goodbye I get the chills. You have such an amazing voice and it is one of my all time favorites. Thank you for all that you do as actors and as great people who bring joy to millions. I hope I get to meet you someday. and if this podcast is still going after we are done with it, I'll have to make sure I send you a picture of the hobbit hole my husband and I will be building in our backyard. Cheers 💗 Stephy

No matter how bad the day or week is going, watching TFO is my highlight of the week! Thanks for doing this :)

[@GardenHands]

Here is an idea for the Eat the World segment. There was a candy my dad used to bring home from Switzerland called Eucalyptus and I swear I was the only one who liked it when sharing with family and friends. It has a taste that is quite peculiar when you first try it but it's one that grows on you if you get through it. But you two might also like it since you were such big fans of the Licorice you did in a previous episode. I've never seen it here in the States and I don't know if it's all over Europe, I just know it was in the Migros stores in Switzerland. It came in a green box and was like a gum drop shape and was a hard chewy texture.

Hello from Glasgow! Really enjoyed the Irn Bru segment, Billy just described my childhood, except the boys wouldn't let me play football 😂. Ice cold glass bottle of Irn Bru (or sometimes called a "gless check" after a few too many drinks the night before, and maybe a McDonald's, fixes you right up! I think "messages" was because they would write a shopping list, or "messages" to themselves for what to buy and then they would go to the shops to but what they needed - or send the kids 😂.

IRN BRU story. I live on a Air Force Base in Germany and was driving to get lunch while listening to the Friendship Onion. I had forgotten there was a British store on the base. I ended up stopping in the store and they sold IRN BRU! (in a can)I grabbed 2 and a Dr Pepper. My first sip reminded me of Big Red and Cream Soda mixed together. As I was buying the drink...someone from the back said. "You know those are great for hangovers"? lol

Hi Dom and Billy, I'm really enjoying watching the show on youtube every week! I'm Scottish and the Irn Bru section had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣 wish i coulda chimed in on the question of why is Soda called Ginger in Scotland? Firstly i have to correct you Billy 😅 " A bottle of ginger" is a bottle of Irn - Bru and nothing else as far as i know, could it be because it looks like the vivid ginger hair often seen here in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Juice is the word for soda in general in Scotland or am i wrong there? 😅😅 Love the show guys, All the best!!! I could be wrong though

34:02 - Traditional English scones are with clotted cream and not butter. But the real question now is, how to layer the toppings: cream first and then jam (Devon) or jam first and then the cream (Cornwall)?

"Straight from the horse's mouth" has the same origins as "don't look a gift horse in the mouth." It comes from the practice of examining horse's teeth to determine their age and health.

Tuesday has become my favorite day of the week! Thank you!

[@RigoWolfPrime]

I'm sure someone else has said it, but I'm case they haven't, i can tell you what it is. I finally found one and popped it open today. Gave my son first taste and he LOVED it, even though he doesn't like fizzy drinks. So that's saying a lot. Anyways, with the taste of vanilla in it, maybe a hint of Orange 🍊 (perhaps)... But without a doubt, It's Creaming Soda (or creamy soda to some). Absolutely delicious, very very similar to the Golden Circle Creaming Soda, popular in the 80s in many Australian schools. So Dom was right that it smells of school days. Creaming Soda (Irn Bru taste) plus Samboy Salt n Vinegar chips....mmmmm THAT'S the stuff 😉 Thanks guys, appreciate the recommendation and taste. 9.5/10 for taste 😋 ps: tried the Jaffa Cakes, and that's a 9.8/10 Superb!!!
