LIVE at FanExpo Denver!

[@jmfoster]

I don't think you guys realize just how much good this podcast does for the world. You give people both an escape from real life as well as a mirror displaying the best in humanity. Well done! 👏🏻

[@kathrynboland7975]

Big ditto that!!

[@vikinginger1889]

It warms my heart to know the four hobbits all still hangout. Just like they would in middle earth.

[@Lizjulharp2]

Thank you sooooooooo much for playing my voice message! Now I know what Principal Photography is. Love You Guys!😊

[@ShaniFox]

Actually a lot of female lotr fans I know love Aragorn because he’s NOT a typical alpha male lead. He’s allowed to be soft, he cries, he caresses and kisses his male friends and tells them he loves them unabashedly. Same with Frodo and Sam. You don’t see that a lot with stereotypical male heroes. Also lotr is one of the only high fantasy stories I can think of that doesn’t depict (sexual) violence against women on screen/on page at every twist and turn. I think that also contributes to the comfort a lot of women feel about the series when compared to the genre as a whole.

[@jonpiano5182]

The message from Sean Astin to Elijah was hilarious! (31:14) Thanks for the great live show, made my night shift much better.

[@thenerdfaraway]

Oh, you Hobbits, you... you make my heart happy! Thanks for the laughs!!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Dominic! Thanks, Billy! 🧅

[@janfeinberg3825]

Hi from Jan in Colorado Springs. It was an unexpected joy to be in a tongue twister battle with you both. A memory I treasure! Thank you for coming to Denver😊

[@geoffkburton]

That must have been a blast .

[@janfeinberg3825]

I was super nervous so I'm really glad I was able to get it mostly right😊

[@colinleat8309]

Your so lucky you got to participate in a tongue twister with them! You did a great job! 👍😊

[@bwilesuk]

For the benefit of us at home, was Don like sat on the guy next to you or something? It was mostly off camera

[@janfeinberg9298]

@@bwilesuk Dom was actually sitting on my son's lap!

[@debrajones5183]

Goodness this really cheered me up! Much needed thank you once again for making my week so agreeable. Those ranchers look tasty!

[@owenkiser7187]

[@RalphRoberts1]

I love Elijah's volcano joke.

It's August 28th! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLY!!!!! 😄😁🥳🥰❤💖💞🎉🎉🎉🎁🎂 Hope you have fun at your live podcast today and that you have a day as wonderful as you! Love you so much Bills! Thanks for all the laughs you give us and for being such a sunshine 🥰😊❤

[@colinleat8309]

It'sy favorite podcast since I discovered it a few months ago. I binge watched every episode the first couple of weeks. I look forward to every Tuesday to watch what they will talk about or who they will interview. A great way to spend an hour laughing and learning! Lots of love! 💕

[@jaanaffi]

Thank you, Billy, for saving Dom 💛❣️ And thank you both for these live podcasts too 💛💛❣️

[@kathrynboland7975]

Loving these live podcasts!! Such great energy all around 🙌🏻✨ Hmm, why would a film trilly brimming with upstanding, attractive male characters appeal to women? Lemme think about that one for a hot sec...hahaha that had me laughing so hard, loved that question so much. Also when you're tiny even for a women the hobbits are not intimidating...putting that out for a friend 🤪🤣 Thank you as always for making Tuesdays 20 times better Billy and Dom!! 🙌🏻💙

[@firesoulrocker]

My son is 10 years old and he suddenly got into "The Two Towers" and that is my fave of the three. I love that he and I can share in this! And OMG...so ever since I've been 16 yrs old, I've heard or read or experienced something every day about Phil Collins, randomly. At my old job, on tv, at open mics I've played at...and now, he's snuck in to my favorite podcast. Lol just...what?

[@odothedoll2738]

The thing that connects with me about LOTR is that the hobbits are weak in the traditional sense but kick ass anyways. Women are told we’re “the weaker sex” and that makes some of us quite insecure. Especially me because I’m also disabled.

[@emerraldx]

doesn’t hurt that there are a couple of kick-ass laaaydeee’s in the trilogy as well (just thankful Peter didn’t cave to the warrior Princess Arwen clamor even if he did let her steal Glorfindel’s limelight) who made good role models for the complexity of womanhood, from loyalty and support to fierce defense of friend and country with none of that woke mambo jumbo to cheapen the meaning

[@ryankelly2134]

Would love to see these guys doing a world tour. Just picture the merch, the friendship onion t shirt with the tour dates on the back

[@Velour_Rose]

Thanks for sharing this for those who couldn’t be there! Sending love from Ireland! 🧅

[@NoahTheNerdy]

What up fellas love your work! 🙌

[@selena3863]

Thanks for posting this!

[@narnianprincessedits]

14:09 I don't blame him, I love Dom's eyes too 🥰 31:34 Awwwwww! They sure do have experience walking 😁😉 51:36 I am very glad that Billy was able to save Dom's life that day 😅 Great episode, boys! I'm really enjoying the live versions of the pod! 🥰🥰🥰

[@DandyAndy23]

Really wanted to make it to this :/ Make sure to come back! I'll be there next time!

[@oriricha]

this live has being one of the funniest or the funniest yet (for me)

[@intwernet]

Finally Dom talks more about LOST, previously it seemed as he doesn't like to.

[@PharoePhiba]

I just found out, that Billy Boyd composed the tune to the song he sang in Gondor for the steward. Is Billy one of my favourit composers? Guess he is!

[@Dilmahkana]

Tough tongue twister! 34:22 Dom says "she said" instead of "said, she". Billy is better at adjudicating himself than Dom haha.

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

great show.. love that you did it live with a live audience.. I wish i could get you guys on my show!

[@boberry2012]

Jolly Ranchers are like a piece of Americana, however, when I was a kid they were only shaped like long and flat sticks and you had to suck on just a piece at a time and as it dissolved it would shape into a candy dagger. 70s and 80s we ate weapons. 🤣

[@ladymalai]

Did you know Phil Collins was also one of the kids in the crowd of the Beatles movie, Hard Day's Night?

[@diannawoodlands8200]

You guys are cool too.

[@frankbarnwell____]

Go to Kansas, and go up. It's Denver. In Tolkien's world. Look up, Thingol and Melian. Beren and Luthien, Galadriel, Eowen, Arwen, etc. Many more. Well...

[@sunfaestardust8548]

Oooooooooo, Happiness merci beaucoup

[@selfhelpgroup8750]

Is anyone keeping a tally on the Eat The World scores? I'd be interested to know what's racked up the highest and lowest average scores since the segment was introduced.

[@ThamyFraines]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@selena3863]

Where/when will you be in Austin?

[@sunfaestardust8548]

Hiiii,Sweet Greetings The Friendship Onion 💜🧅🍵🌼🦋☕ Sending Love&Light to You ,Love you sew verymuch!!!! ThankYou for these awesome podcasts,youtube greats!!! FUN!!!! And JOY!!!! Lovely and Wonderful ☀️🌌🌙✨🌲🌅🌄🐾🌠🎶💎

[@nicholas3354]

Dom said "she said" instead of "said she", but Billy missed a "but", so fair enough. That's probably the funnest thing I've ever said.

[@Cat-ul5ef]

The way Billy said “the watermelon is very good” and all I heard was “the salted pork is particularly good” 😍🥹

[@dawndawnster]

Hi, I like adding a jolly rancher to my Zima ** another Colorado product, to make it a little sweeter ☺️

[@kenmadden6294]

I wonder how many times Peter Jackson had to tell these guys: "We want a little humor here, but tone it down! Too funny!".

[@nicholasnewman937]

Another great live show, love these guys so much. Was it just me, or did anyone else notice that their timing/chemistry seemed a little different this time? Perhaps they were dipping into the local pipe weed... 😅

[@hanah112]

2nd!

[@Numenorean5393]

You guys should do a zoom-watch party/reaction for rings of power!

[@sunfaestardust8548]

Sweet butter Magick.....cinnamon butter.mmm

[@wolfsongbymoonlight]

MMORPG is what World of Warcraft is, I believe Dom has previously mentioned he's played that before. Hundreds or thousands of people playing in the same persistent virtual game world

[@nilollar117]

Mmorpg is basically World of Warcraft

[@deweyroth]

Golly...did NO one notice (in the tongue twister) that Dom also said "she said" instead of "said she"?

[@KrystalTomlin]

If you guys are gonna do MMORPG one of these days, can I suggest Final Fantasy XIV?

[@bhavens9149]

Leg o Lamb, Boramir, Karl Urban, sheesh not just eye candy but some ethics and reliability, etc. yeah. if speaking of the books, Tolkien had a very strong Mother, and liked strong women characters, not certain the movies really conveyed that as well as the books, but at least better than the usual soggy misogyny of the day. PS in a silly thought, have you ever thought about remaking Men in tights with all your bff's, that would be hilarious.

[@spadgefafner]

I've seen a Phil Collins but I've never seen a Full Collins

[@agharries]

Did I hear Dom say Roger Deacon from Queen. I am disappointed. A bit of a name mixup.
