This is a HeadGum Original.
Hey guys, Lauren Lapkus here.
What you're about to experience is a watch-along to one of the many Lord of the Rings movies I watched for the first time for newcomers.
I watched them all with my quarantine buddy, also known as my husband Mike Castle,
and we recorded our thoughts and you can sync us up to the movie and it's like we're all hanging out.
If you want more fun watch-alongs like Blank Check and A Walk to Remember, a goofy movie we've done a bunch,
or some improv with all my funny friends, check out my Patreon at patreon.com slash Lauren Lapkus.
Enjoy! slap time slap time
slap time
with Lauren Lapkus
alright so it's been 8 hours
and the guy stopped leaf blowing
and wow did he really put a lot of dust
in the air you guys it was unbelievable
it was a pure dust storm out there
he came up onto the porch he was blowing dust around
up there he went into the driveway blew pure dust storm out there. He came up onto the porch. He was blowing dust around up there.
He went into the driveway, blew some dust around down there.
Then he went over to his place and then was blowing dust around over there.
And then by the way, eight hours later, I just have to make it clear.
This is someone who our landlord has hired.
It's not he and he lives next door and it's not someone we hire.
And then we bitch about how they're doing this.
We don't have any control over this app.
And also there is so little yard and so little yard work to be done.
It's,
it's insane that he spends so much time doing it's crazy.
But I have worked in this,
in,
in lawn care and it is,
it does not take two and a half hours to do less than like 20 square feet.
Yeah.
So anyway, we're back to Lord of the Rings.
And I guess it was kind of good to have a few hour break.
I didn't want to be cut off so early because now we still have two hours left of the movie.
So we're going to hop back in.
We're at 4443 on the movie.
If you want to sync it up with us.
4443.
Nope. 4444. Nope, 44-44.
Okay.
Hit play.
Well, you're not going to give a countdown?
No, I'm saying...
Or that you're telling them.
No, no, no.
I'm sorry, y'all.
Give a countdown.
I was looking to Lauren.
She was on her phone
and I was trying to give her that look of like,
please don't do any phone stuff during the next hour.
I'm not.
I just had to solidify something that was being dropped off. off toss that thing on a do not disturb and throw it out of
throw it over there out of reach stop it's gone i can't be here watching it alone i can't i have
to watch it hey man everyone will agree with me that you have missed essential parts of all these
movies and then you talk about it like for instance you guys on the return of the
king one oh my god i said i said specifically oh i love pippin song right now and then we sit there
and i go i had a high school teacher who played this during study hour and make all these points
about it and then when they're recording the podcast someone goes pippin song lauren goes
there was a song and i i went absolutely insane because it was in but then also when we're
recording these i go hey you gotta keep watching she goes oh you can't tell me to watch them
i go okay but you literally have to watch them and then you're gonna record the thing you're
gonna not know all these obvious if you were just looking at it you would know these things so she's grounded up shut up okay here we go i do what i want one two three play
and for what it's worth it's a reason it's like it's it's actually um this is making me so angry
listening to you come up with some bullshit because it's actually because actually i need to because on twitter what is happening on twitter uh i need
to tweet what i was gonna say it's actually um realistic that i might miss some things when it's
really long and yeah but it's it's like you're missing more than you're seeing is what it feels
like i just i i have she's lying you guys go listen to that episode. No, but then I looked at the picture and I remembered.
I don't know.
Pippin was you fucking idiot.
Okay.
There's one song.
It's a lot of content.
Guys, you're all on my side.
I hope I'm sure no one will be.
When we get to the podcast, I definitely want to know what's going on because you've been screaming at me the entire time.
definitely want to know what's going on because you've been screaming at me the entire time
are those the same guy it's like bad version of him he's like bad to the bone yeah it's like when gollum was talking to himself if you told me that was the same actor. I'd believe you.
It's just a slightly different nose.
Which is also true of every Hobbit.
So that could be fake.
You mean every.
Like the Hobbit characters all have fake noses.
Oh you.
That's not what you mean.
You mean the dwarfs.
Yes. I mixed them up
this is what I'm talking about you guys
hey that's also a lot
of info I've been calling them
hobbits a while it's not
great
I don't know why is there a perfect like trying diamond to look through
you know they were like stacking rocks and there's just a perfect looking it's weird a little bit i think thorneenshield is kind of a pussy
that's the guy?
yeah the guy who's like tempted
by the gold and the jewels
yeah
not for much longer
he had subtitles on everyone
he didn't know
come on
I like when Bilbo's hair is like this
it's like grown since earlier movies
am I right?
yeah it looks a little longer.
What a moron.
Why do you look around like that?
Because he's so suspicious.
He's a total hack.
We just need to follow orders. this being part of his history is shocking to me
lee pace yeah i had no clue that he was in this world oh yeah
you turn it down he's really good i'm a fan of ned from pushing daisies that's actually the only
thing i know him from which is also part of what, like, of course, who cares that I don't
know he's in this. I only know him one other thing.
What other stuff has he been in?
Um, let me think.
He was in
Guardians of the Galaxy Part 1.
He was
in... Interesting.
Hmm, let me...
I don't know. He's so handsome. I can't remember.
Yeah, that makes sense. sense oh Halt and Catch Fire
an AMC show he was on
wow so I really just would never cross paths with him
but I loved Pushing Daisy
so it's kind of interesting that he had a little crossover
onto like Network TV
he was kind of one of those had a little crossover onto like network TV. Mm-hmm.
He was kind of one of those guys I feel like after Pushing Daisies, he popped up in a lot of stuff
for forever.
Yeah.
This has been another movie. Yes.
Frodo wore that. Mithril.
It was that
part when they're in the troll.
When the cave troll
like stabbed him.
It's like just a t-shirt.
Yeah.
Yeah, he really does.
He looks like he's
like a skater with like a long sleeve shirt under it
totally yeah there would be like an alien face on the front he looks like the guy on uh married
at first sight who wears that sleeping shirt oh my god is anyone out there watching married
at first sight the new season on lifetime this it great. And there's a guy who sleeps in a gown.
It's kind of fascinating.
It really is.
He wears like, he gets married at first sight on the show
Married at First Sight. They just pair people up like a matchmaker
does it. And he, on his
first night with his new bride,
he puts on his... He's like,
let's change into something more comfortable and then
he comes out in a dress it looks like when you're a little kid you put on your dad's shirt yes i
honestly i was gonna say that exact thing and i also don't and like she loved it in there like
it's going great so whatever i guess great matchmaking yeah no no that matchmaking is
unbelievably good you came into this room wearing a gigantic T-shirt only.
You would honestly you would just accept it because I have so many things like that that I do that I've just worn you down with.
In the first night there together, he put his legs inside it. Like again, like a little kid inside a T-shirt.
And there's something about that.
But then she put on footie pajamas.
Everyone really paused to picture that.
Don't pause the movie.
Don't pause the movie.
to picture that. Don't pause the movie.
Don't pause the movie. But he wrapped up his legs so that
he was just a little ball and a head
on top with his brand
new wife. But guess what she wore to bed?
Giant footie pajamas and she
didn't, like
she wasn't phased at all. what a loser
what did he just say to him
that he won't part with one single
piece of gold
what an asshole you're a fucking tool
Mr. Mnuchin
yeah I bet that really was benedict cumberbatch in the beginning that's like a fun yeah that seems totally right oh nice no the neighbors are screaming
the neighbor kids scream as if it's the only way they talk i don't think i've ever heard them use
their regular voices go we literally call it the screaming hour in this house one of us
will always joke oh it's the screaming hour because i'll just start screaming endlessly
for like two hours at like 10 o'clock at night and we just recently got a rain sound machine
and we've had to use our air purifier because the smoke in the air is so bad that we can't go outside
whole normal stuff i guess they probably have stopped screaming but this also really
makes a lot of
white noise
that will help us
when they do scream
I think.
What?
Just laughing at
what the world is
now that we can't
even go on a walk.
Yeah I know. even go on a walk yeah i know it'd be cool if wizard hats came back into popular fashion i
have thought if i had to get one piece of merch it would be that really yeah but i, but I mean, only for Halloween.
I'm not going to walk around wearing that.
That's what I'm saying, though.
I would like to come back in a fashion.
If I wore that at Christmas with a big furry coat.
They should have killed that guy when they had the chance.
I know, just crush him. Thank you. Ah. even if you don't like it you gotta admit war is really cool. I couldn't understand war
less. Yeah, man, same.
I love when people
are like, war's like chess.
And I'm like, no it's not.
Chess is fun.
People don't die when they play chess.
Now what's in there?
What's these fucking things? Now what's in there? Ugh.
What's these fucking things?
Gross little holes.
Yeah, I love how perfectly round they are
um
yuck you know what are we ever um seeing all those bats bats at the bridge in Austin?
No. It's like a thing.
No, I feel like when we were in Austin, someone had mentioned it, but no.
I've never actually been there for it, and I don't really want to be.
Yeah, I'm not super curious about that.
I guess they all fly around your head and shit.
I feel like the few times I've interacted with bats in my life, I didn't love it.
few times i've interacted with bats in my life i uh didn't love it i remember going to the brookfield zoo in chicago and there was a there's a bat cave there that you can walk through and all the bats
are flying above your head and i was told by my camp counselor that if you threw keys up in the
air the bat would catch it oh what a weird thing know. You can say that to kids because none of them have keys.
And I never forgot.
That's true.
I couldn't test it out.
Yeah.
Maybe they would catch it, though.
I feel like that makes some sense with like echolocation and shit.
Mm hmm.
I feel like whenever I think of bats, I think of the white bat in uh ace ventura pet detective 2 when nature calls
and then i subsequently think of him eating bat shit and going guano what does that mean
i don't know some language for the shit i think guano oh oh but again i only know things because
of what happens in movies and then i try and figure it out based on context clues.
Yeah.
I feel like if I smoked what was in Gandalf's pipe, I'd go insane.
I feel like Matt Rogers could do a good impression of what Lee Pace is doing.
Oh, yeah, I agree.
Matt's so handsome.
Also, Brian Jordan Alvarez really could. I think you and I just think
Brian Jordan Alvarez can basically do anything.
Well, I do think that, but I also think he kind of looks
like him now that I think about it. Yeah, yeah.
And especially in this world
where you can make anyone who is not tall look tall.
Is Lee Pace not tall?
Oh, Brian Jordan Alvarez is tall. Yeah, Brian and Matt
are both not tall.
Although Matt's kind of,
I feel like when I talk to him
I don't think he's small.
Matt's got to be as tall as me,
I think.
Oh, okay.
Those feet. That was pure slapstick comedy.
Different wig it looks like for Bilbo today.
Let me see.
Well, it's more dirty.
Okay. looks like for Bilbo today. Let me see. Well, it's more dirty. I actually think
Brian Jordan Alvarez
would be so funny doing this.
Yeah.
I'm really curious how they're going to do SNL.
With all the COVID of it all.
Fortunately, nothing can affect its quality i actually really liked when they do those quarantine episodes at home i thought those
were like some of the best well they really like helped highlight some of them like chloe
heidi was really good yeah exactly They're both perfect for that exact format.
In fact, Mikey Day was making me laugh as well.
I feel like everyone had really funny stuff
because they got to have control in that way.
And it wasn't like
building a sketch premise around the set
that's already built. Right, it was just like what can be funny
in your room.
Which is like what can be funny in your room yeah which is like what all of us little comedians have been doing our whole lives see they don't show the perspective enough i like this yeah well we haven't had gandalf for a bit he's been in a
cage it's very confusing that he's five six yeah yeah in the book that's the height gandalf is five
six that's absolutely psychotic that's like my brother used to be obsessed with you know comic
everything comic book related and when they first made the uh when they first cast hugh
jackman who's like six four or something he was like but wolverine's supposed to be five five
and he was like so mad about it i didn't know wolverine was supposed to be so yeah because
he's supposed to be this like little guy who just like fights back like wolverine like a little animal i see that john ennis
and i want the outside to look like a guy with like an axe but he's like squatting
yeah you can picture some ancient dwarf going like he's like this
wow it looks like a christmas movie
yeah it's got some um narnia vibes
i'll never forget watching um that movie what it honestly sounds like you literally forgot as you were
saying you would never forget i was trying the chronicles of narnia oh i never saw any of those
when i was in um middle school in my drama class we watched the like pbs movie oh there was one
before they did like a big one yeah oh. Oh yeah. It's like a play.
Oh cool.
But it was like on sets,
but it was very low key.
Like it was very like cheap,
I guess.
Yeah,
sure.
Sure.
Um,
but I loved it.
And I always thought about,
um,
Turkish delight.
I've always thought about Turkish delight as well,
but I hear it's gross.
Like it's not what you think it's going to be,
whatever you think. But that's my thingy. to even throw it up in the air it makes me think of when people throw their babies up in the air
and it's like what is this risk you're taking yeah you're just showing you kind of don't care.
That one.
Yeah.
He's becoming so familiar to me that I just think
he's a guy.
I've now spent
12 hours watching him.
I gave it to him. What? Why would you gave it to
him what
why would you
admit it to the
psycho
he's like in a
bathrobe he's just
some guy
little slippers on
he's so
funny
he's so fucking
likable
but but part of it is that he's acting funny. He's so fucking likable.
But part of it is that he's acting in a way that is very
connected to modern day acting.
And it brings this like different sort of tone to his character.
Yeah. It's not just fantasy. It's like
he's kind of has like a kind of
little bit of humor here and there.
Blah, blah, blah.
What a penis head this guy is Thank you. Takk for ating med. they're the same yeah it's i find that to be annoying. Just kill him.
You're such a D.
Big egg. Just kill him. You're such a D.
Big egg.
You are a douchebag.
So did he just summon them by saying that or were they already doing that?
I think he said something the other day
about how they were going to be coming or something.
It's just so crazy to think about just groups of people going like,
alright, I might die doing this. It's so
dumb. Especially
like, you know, in this fantasy situation
where you go, wait, why?
Like thousands of you are expendable here
got this place and it has gold
and the guy went crazy and what
it's so dumb
you gotta love Ian McKellen
he's so good haha
wait they're just peasants
wait what
I think this is Billy Connolly
oh it really sounds like
him it is so
I'm an idiot. That's funny.
You probably knew that on an
unconscious level. I don't think so. He's got a red
beard and shit. But you've seen this,
haven't you? Yeah, but
I was stoned and
maybe a little drunk and my dad had just
died. Okay, I see all the backstory. Good rhyme. Gracias. what
wereworms
I don't remember this at all
what the fuck is this
well you're done
I mean there's no
there's no coming back from this
Bill was like oh shit I mean, there's no coming back from this. Bilbo is like, oh, shit.
Do they just take over and they own all the gold now?
They're just desperate.
Oh, that's who's making those holes.
Oh.
Gross.
I truly feel like the dwarves are like,
what have we gotten ourselves into?
We should be like hanging out at Bilbo's,
breaking all his dishes.
Washing them up.
Cause that's what Bilbo Baggins hates.
I actually really liked that part.
Yeah, that was fun as hell.
liked that part. Yeah, it was fun as hell.
Dude.
What does stand down mean?
Like don't rise to arms or whatever.
Let them all kill each other
then see who's left, then deal
with them. Yeah.
I thought they all fell.
I was like, cool.
That's pathetic.
Build a wall.
nice that's horrible
well they're killing the orcs
no yeah it's just like
orcs have no souls
orcs should all be dead
they're born out of like goo
fucking dirt and blood and gandalf is this a good place to stand that would be me in war even now should i can i
i'm gonna read that's you yeah yeah do you mind if i go upstairs and read I'm going to put a little bit of water on the floor. they have a cave troll
yikes
this reminds me of this video i loved that i think i showed you like probably a year ago at this point
but um oh that like porn thing no um a different thing just i was kidding no it was this like
gigantic wooden doll that was created like a gigantic wooden walking girl that was made for
this like festival in amsterdam or. Probably Ireland. It's probably
called the Giant Nan or the Giant
Gran, I mean. No, it's like
a young girl. Oh, interesting
because you would have probably showed me that and then I would have said
oh, it's like the Giant Gran in
Limerick. It might even be in like Japan. Like I can't remember where it is
at all. There's one in Limerick where it's like
guys and they like jump and they're like pulling
these ropes. Yeah, it's really cool. It's similar
to that, but I always loved it and it was
as well but it looks
like those guys things just dead
for the bus it just immediately got
CTE and died
Jesus Jesus.
Yuck, dude.
Oh, dear God.
That was really jarring since those kids look so young and innocent.
Duh! Could you pick me up some bread while you're down there? this is like Nixxiom and he just like
kiss that guy in the mouth and he's like you'll be
fine kisses that guy in the mouth
that is the weirdest documentary is anyone watching it
just crazy how these people
just give in to the cult
it feels like you're having like a separate podcast over there
like alice in mac well i don't know yeah
yeah
hopefully bilbo has that shirt on
what bitch i want him done i can't see if he doesn't die i'm gonna be very mad
that's not possible in my opinion it's not possible that he won't die yeah
wow way to go little man
hell yeah
you lucked out
it's an interesting thing when you have armor
on every part of your body except your throat
yeah
throat's gotta breathe you know
whoa that was weird
Shrek
Shrek gone bad
Shrek moldy
yeah it's like one of those memes
it's like when I feel old
this is what Shrek looks like now
I'm like damn I'm old
fun
slower god it's ugly It's like now. I'm like, damn, I'm old. Wee. Fun.
Slower.
God, it's ugly.
How would that stop it?
I don't even know.
Okay, could have killed his kids instantly.
Yeah, he had a ton of time.
Oop.
Damn, that was sick. Sick.
See air in la right now it's so bad Yeah, right.
He's very charismatic.
Yeah, he seems to have soulful eyes.
He was Gaston.
Yes. That guy sucks I know I really hate him
He's got real Joey Greer vibes
Joey would step on anyone to get to the top.
Oh, nice.
Oh, fun.
No.
No, not my steed.
Is Lee going to die? is Lee gonna die you can't keep going forever
exactly
you say that and that cues you to check the time
look
no no that's totally valid
he can't keep going forever
speaking of forever because forever
can only be one hour and 40 minutes more um yeah
oh my god i actually can't believe how much more there is
dare i even ask because like no i think i'm actually i think it's an hour and 20 minutes no no that can't be well yeah hour five okay good at least it's not an hour 40
yeah i think the time that you looked at that you said earlier of how long it was was actually the
extended because this was shorter than the time that you said okay good but we've had so many technical difficulties an hour and i do feel this
is the end yeah and no it's not yeah yeah our technical difficulties have caused this to go on
for um somewhere around four to five hours yeah it's been unbelievable oh don't show us Show us that. Lena Dunham?
Wait, how are we going to pull out a win, boys?
They always make you wonder.
All means between.
And the world.
What?
That's the Pippin song.
Oh, my God. What? Okay, that guy's got Pippin song. Oh my God.
What?
Okay, that guy's got too many prosthetics.
The bald guy?
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
You're a loser imagine like not having a phone and just like sitting in there
he's just like sitting there being a bitch
you're a fucking oh my god
you you're a fucking oh my god what are you that's exactly the opposite of what you should say treasure we made up treasure you fucking it is worth all the blood we can spend what are you talking about? Treasure is made up. Gold is nothing. It's a metal.
Oh, good.
This guy told me he sucks. push him if you told us that this guy was going to be the voice of reason yeah when i saw that
sort of um what were those little like magnetic art things you would get at like the gas station
where like it's like a bald guy's face and pull little magnet pieces i know exactly what you're
talking about exactly like that he does and if i had seen that guy and you told me that guy's
gonna tell you something that you're really going to agree with what was said. Nope. Yeah, he's like if a
kid was trying to demean or hurt
the figure in one of those.
He's like, I won't put hair on
his head. I'll put it all over his stupid
face.
Why are you still saying the same
thing?
Is the floor gold i think so seems kind of like a waste but it's literally worthless if you
have a society where there's nothing right i don't think we need the voice
like the recap because I do think I
already know what he's thinking
just said it okay you know what
actually I'm going to go back on what I said earlier about
like you know not
trimming the fat this is trimmable
fat for sure on shrooms.
It's just too much. uh you look so dumb yeah i know just thinking about filming this okay so like in the gold it's like butter it like eats you up you throw your crown
i want to help everyone i want to volunteer now i care
i can really feel it in my bones that we're about to get like a death i don't know if it's going to
be the ben connelly character I do need someone
to pass soon
just to kind of break it up a little bit
yeah
this guy's just chilling
he's basically me playing
Civilization 6
is that your game that's for that's for all my
Civ fans out there
yeah that's the thing i've been
playing on the pc where you come over and you try and talk to me and i say you get away from me
stay away oh that game
do not press that button i know i know we know. We have this thing on this Apple TV where, I gotta
turn it off, where it's like a notification
from the NBA
app that tells you if something
is something worth clicking to immediately
is happening in a basketball game.
And it just was like, you might want to watch
this. This is what's happening between the Celtics.
Right when the king is like changing his whole perception
and it's like, oh,
there's only three minutes left.
Celtics might win the heat.
What was the name of the show that Megan Rath was on before Hawaii Five-0?
It was this like sci-fi show.
And it also had Sam
Huntington on it.
I don't know. Damn it.
Anyway, this guy was in the British version of it.
So every time I see him, I'm like, oh yeah,
that guy. Cool.
Whatever the fuck that show is called you know I just got like a flash of Mel Gibson
in that guy's face so wait he's trying to be better for real?
Yeah, now he's trying to be a good boy.
I'm glad he had such an easy change of heart
from that one guy.
Yeah, but I was like,
all right, so nine of you are going to join this group
that is huge?
You think some of these hobbits are,
I mean, dwarves are going to die
because Nicole and I were kind of wondering about that.
Because what?
Nicole and I have been wondering about that because like...
Oh, you're saying if any of the main dwarves?
Yeah.
I have a vague memory of one of them dying.
It kind of feels like we need them to.
They play like a 14 minute long
rabble song.
Whoa.
That was available that whole time?
Feels like the bell wasn't set up in a good spot.
That's what I'm saying.
It just knocks them all on their ass I kind of feel like if you're the king
You don't want to be the first guy running into the battle
But that's how we know he's changed
Yeah
Selflessnessありがとうございました。 the way McKellen just delivered that line
it felt like it was the title of the movie
yeah rallying
to their king
they're rallying
yes the battle of the five
armies yeah that one the rallying yes the battle of the five armies
yeah that one was so
yeah that was pure
hook it was definitely like from a
wrestling
WWF thing
oh my god
Thank you
Stab him
I was just gonna say
Just cut his head off
Mmm Delicious gold Turn his head off.
Mmm.
Delicious gold.
I'm a fucking turd.
Where are you going to spend it?
There's literally nothing.
Whenever I hear you say literally,
I always think of the
lap time podcast
you did with Gabrus where you're doing a bane impression i'm literally
too many of these fuckers
i i don't
I don't.
I do feel like in another life I could have had the nickname
Azog the Defiler.
I'll call you Azog if you want.
No, no, wait.
Wait, let me think.
That thing's too big
and it shouldn't be the first thing to go
for that exact reason
how do you know that from that far it's feely heedy and dwelling
and one of their goats is a girl
those kind of those orcs like i think because they're brainless they're just so bad at fighting
they just get killed instantly
that's why they're so far back from the main battle
it's the weakest dudes
they're just like squish
that was sick yeah but it was an orc or an orc
they have no souls
ah I've been honestly sitting here going how's it five armies
she's like but I like him I have his little myrtle beach stone
wait a minute
where asog do the fire go at? Oh, yeah. One more thing about the neighbors who are constantly making noise they also have a
caged bird that just it makes one of the most horrible noises i've ever heard all day long
it's a pure squawk it's almost every second and i want it dead actually yeah I remember when we first moved in
we heard it and I was like
after a while we won't even notice it
when in reality I notice it more
after a while
I just don't know how anyone could have a bird in your apartment that's squawking so loudly that other people can hear it in like neighboring places.
Yep.
Why you would want that in your home is very confusing to me.
I would marry Bilbo.
Yeah, I know you would.
You basically have.
Don't give yourself so much credit.
Come on. Amazing creatures, hobbits.
You can learn everything there is to know about them,
and still, they will surprise you.
Did you make that up?
No, he says it about Frodo and, um, Fellowship.
He hasn't used that in a while.
You haven't what?
He hasn't used that in a while. You haven't what? He hasn't used that in a while.
The ring.
Oh, yeah. also Matt Cook looks like him
why do so many people look like him?
oh yeah Matt Cook does look like him
I don't think Matt Cook, Brian Jordan Alvarez and Matt Rogers look like
yet I think they could all do an impression of this.
Ah!
I thought he hit her face. he'd be like okay was that him kissing him goodbye?
Mm-hmm.
Truly pathetic.
Oh, thank God.
Something has to kill this guy.
No, stop saving her. I know know it's so annoying
you that was weird I kind of have my money on that guy to die.
That random?
I think he's either.
I think he's Healy. Gå in på kåpan. I think I meant feely when I said heely.
I didn't know where you got that.
I was like, so now there's a heely?
There's feely, keely, heely.
Hey, honestly, there should be a jeely. he is the one we're least attached to because i don't really think anything of that one. No, I know. I just think of him because his name rhymes with the other guy.
Yeah.
Aw, don't kill him.
That sucks.
It's sad.
Aw.
Ugh. Dude, you gotta chill.
I don't think it's gonna work out for you, dude. You gotta chill. I don't think it's gonna work out for you, dude. Yo.
Bilbo, toss that ring on, my guy. Idiot. kill him
not him
the other one
as though they're taking orders from you.
Wrong him.
Okay, those bats are huge.
Well, you gotta remember.
But then the hobbit is one inch tall.
I mean, that doesn't make any sense.
I know, I know.
Ugh.
They're soulless zombies. Those are really soulless zombies those are really soulless
I love how that one looks
there are so many instances where Bilbo
is like thinking
something horrible is gonna happen and then some like real man
comes in and just like handle shit he's like
oh yeah okay a different
kind of man not a real man
oh yeah i just mean someone wanted to swing an axe because i'm bilbo
oh yeah i forgot that's the one she loves now. That's going to be bad.
Her first job was as a background actor in an episode of Felicity, I think.
Wow.
Or maybe Alias.
Then J.J. Abrams was like, she's great.
I like her.
And then he eventually put her in Lost.
Wow.
What a journey, right?
It's crazy you know it's when things are cgi they often seem to lack a certain mass.
Like the things themselves.
It doesn't feel super guttural or intense when any of those things get killed. I feel like there's like thick black blood with the orc eye in the LTR series.
Right.
Can I?
Oh, my God.
I had to kill.
Yeah, but for a little while he gets to dream you know
whose perspective is this oh my god he just killed it while it was carrying him
five stars Oh my god he just killed it while it was Carrying him Five stars Going for the keely
Get it
I missed what you said what
He said going for the kill and I said going for the keely
Oh hell yeah I love that
I don't really care for puns
I only like them in war time
You need a little bit of levity in war Exactly I don't really care for puns. I only like them in wartime.
You need a little bit of levity in war.
Exactly. Stop yelling each other's names you're distracting
oh damn oh my god she gotta get invisalign
you think it knocked her teeth crooked yeah
right when i said it i was thinking yeah she she got a gap knocked into her teeth
moans She got a gap knocked into her teeth.
Moans.
I want to write subtitles for movies because I would not say that she just sighed. Well, there was a point where Gandalf had something and it said, oh, yeah.
Oh, come on now.
She's really getting trounced.
Eh?
Oh, she's going to get killed, but Keeley's going to save her.
Yeah.
Yippee!
Ooh, that's
got to hurt.
Okay, maybe they both stab each other at the same time and die it's gotta be you know it's gotta have a certain level of wokeness to it where it can't just be a
guy saving helpless girl like fucking every movie from no like i think 1999 the orc and keely stab each other at the same time and then die. Oh no.
Oh no.
Very cool of the orc to give him this moment.
He's like give her one last look.
Is she gonna roll
off the cliff and just die?
No.
Ugh.
Brutal.
He's like,
I like pizza.
Just totally unrelated to the moment.
Pizza is best with mushrooms
look at his like dick cover that's like a skull
it's fun to think of like him making it and it's fun to think of him like having genitals
okay it's over for you
genitals.
Okay, it's over for you.
Oh.
Oh, both of them together.
I can't believe Keeley died.
That's pretty cuckoo.
Oh, no.
This is a bit much. Your quiver is empty.
Is that what that's called, a quiver?
The quiver is the thing, I think.
The what?
Like the arrow is a quiver or something?
Oh, I thought the arrow holder is a quiver.
I might be wrong.
I'm not allowed to look at my phone, so I don't know.
Oh, that one got fuckediver. I might be wrong. I'm not allowed to look at my phone so I don't know. Why is it like
Oh my goodness. Oh my god.
Oh my god. It's like a broken toy
in Toy Story.
Yes, yes. He was totally designed by Sid.
Oh, hell yeah. That's convenient.
Set up a little boss
battle, you know? Sometimes when you think you're breaking a mountain,
you're actually building a bridge.
You always say that at the perfect time.
This, it always finds a way.
I kind of, I think I might be in denial
about Keeley's death right now
he gone yeah no he definitely gone
kill this
thing don't
even respect it by
like fighting it just stab
hey Lauren
relax no okay
sorry
yeah get it right in the little
Achilles tendon
Achilles tendon
Achilles
Achilles
there's one
it's like there's just so many of them
two It's like there's just so many of them. Two.
You're going to throw it?
Me? No.
But I do feel Legolas might.
You're so stupid.
I know. What is wrong with me? I need help. He just threw that. It didn't show us because there was
no way to make it happen. Yeah, they were like, any angle he does
it at will look nuts.
Oh, nice though. That's good.
It's a little something to make Thorin maybe not hate
elves so much. Ooh, good grab.
Now this is a sword I like.
This is the last guy. I love a nice unconventional weapon.
Using a skip it.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I forgot about skip it. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
I forgot about skip.
It's I wanted one.
So I always wanted one as well, but I knew I would be bad at it.
I know I'd be so good that I get bored.
Yeah, exactly.
You really would.
I do want to mention on the podcast right here that the other day, Lauren and I were talking about dancing with the stars and I
said we're talking about how
you give so much credit to the people
doing it because it's like basically
Lauren was saying she feels emotional when she watches
it and I do as well and I said
it's because it's my it's literally my worst
nightmare to have to go and dance sincerely in front
of people just to say this while I think is being
stabbed in the head
and a guy does a backflip off him onto
a thing
um
then lauren agreed that i would be
bad at it and then now
i believe actually that i would win it
so he's dead set on
eventually being on dancing with the stars
and winning so
i think he would be horrible
on it and dance like a weird
eighth grade boy yes that's what you said i was gonna say you had a good description
but i'm wondering other people in relationships do you have this the moment your your so doesn't
believe in you you you have to prove them wrong don't know your so
oh this is fun i just learned about a similar thing to this on this
little show called cobra kai oh my god remember what am i remembering in the miyagi dough when the
robbie and i can get the girl's name sam are trying to balance on that
this is almost done
oh my god
how can there be 33 more
well I guess it makes sense because they're going to kill each other right now
there's always 30 more minutes
oh the eagles
they're going to sweep in and save him
he's the luckiest
motherfucker
or they're just going to save everyone else
because he doesn't deserve it.
Oh, Radagast.
I love him.
Although I do feel like
if you have a Radagast in this,
just fucking bring Tom Bombadil into this.
What is that caveman?
He was the guy that becomes a bear.
Oh, wow.
We haven't thought about him in a while.
Yeah, exactly.
That's what they do by making all these movies
so fucking long is that they can surprise you with
things cause you can't possibly
retain all of it
see you later dude
that's a nice sort of humiliating
way to kill this thing
like a weight is just dragging him down
ew that's my worst nightmare
drowning in
ice cold actually watch the I retweeted
this video on how to like pull yourself out
if you were if you fell under ice
yes oh really
what it really is is you're supposed to like
take a like breathe
calm down because it's your if you lose
your breathing it's way harder.
Sure.
And you're like heartbeat and everything.
And then you try to lift your leg.
You hold on with your arms on the ice and you kick your legs up so you're horizontal.
Okay.
And then you keep kicking forward.
Kicking the ice.
You're not submerged.
You fell on a loose... If you're walking on an ice thing submerged you fell in a hole like you fell on a loose uh you
know if you're walking on an ice thing and it busts in i see and you had room to put your legs
basically you have to like underneath the ice or even if there is no ice get yourself at horizontal
don't try to just pull yourself up with all your arm strength lauren's telling this by the way to
azog the defiler yeah so what he should be doing right now is he should be holding his arms on the
edge of the ice and kick his legs up horizontal.
So he's like flat.
Like if he was laying on his stomach on the ground and then push, propel yourself forward with your feet in the water and gripping the thing and pulling yourself forward, not trying to get go.
Oh, damn.
Well, if you.
But what about if you have a weapon?
You could go under the guy and stab his feet.
That was crazy. That was crazy i enjoyed the the moment i feel like he could have or whatever
thorn or whatever i should have just like gone away and enjoyed that that guy was dying yeah
or he should have just stabbed right down through the ice into his heart oh no
though it does feel like who knows, we have 30 minutes left,
and one of them has to die,
and it feels weird if it's the king,
because then the orc still needs to be beaten by the other guys,
but then it gives something for all the dwarves to do.
Leave something for me.
Holy moly.
Oh, wow.
What you said was going to happen.
Oh, yeah. It did said was going to happen.
Oh, yeah.
It did eventually happen.
Elsewhere.
It's like Romeo and Juliet.
Mm-hmm.
These guys always need each other.
I want to die looking in your eyes,
and I want you to die looking into my eyes.
My wife.
Oh, now he's scared he's still nothing
man you're like a mean
like a high school bully
you're looking down at him as he dies
you're still nothing
he is nothing
no I totally agree he's a bad guy
show us where he hit you.
Yeah, it's over for you.
Welcome to the Hotel Californiaia that's a meme what he says the eagles are coming
and then it's just those guys singing that
i have to pee but i don't know if i should do the mic thing where I just get up and leave. I guess you shouldn't.
Shouldn't?
Yeah.
Cool.
Or we can pause it and I'll stay and talk to the folks here.
We've done so much that you're going to have to figure out later with all the pausing we've had to do.
Sure.
I can't do that to you.
So, well.
Just die. to you. So. Oh. Just die.
Thank you.
He looks like he just came out of his bedroom.
Yeah, he always does.
Oh, it's real bad. back. Hmm. That's nice. Ooh, I've never seen the feet like that.
God, he's so good.
I know.
At acting, y'all.
I'm not saying he's so good hard at it
but he is
he's just now the size of her hand
he's in there
visit Myrtle Beach
what does it mean?
Now you return home
What does he want?
Yeah right So everyone's dead Except the mains what does he want yeah right
so everyone's dead
except the mains
where are all my dwarves
that's gonna be like a sort of
tramp at moment where they all like poop like pop out of some like
orc holes or are you talking to me
he's known as strider, but his name is Aragorn.
We call him Rocky.
Well, they are talking about Aragorn.
Mine wasn't a joke.
Mm-hmm.
Keep my mother's name out your mouth.
Hey, eat shit dude
I literally can't believe I have to watch all of these
I mean you're done
I am done but now there's going to be a whole nother
we have like a lot more episodes.
Well, I can't wait to watch
the animated Hobbit.
That one seems fine.
I haven't seen it since I was a kid. I loved it, though.
Apparently there's a Tolkien
documentary.
Oh, do you have to watch that Tolkien movie
with Nicholas Holt? Probably.
And Phil Cowan's daughter. He was the one saying it wasn't the whole time?
Yeah.
... With tongue You gotta have tongue
She's not a prude
I'm alive.
It's a cute little picture.
They should print it out and save it.
Yeah, I was going to say put it on Instagram.
That feeling when you've literally killed every gay.
You're still not home yet.
Sucking air.
Hey, somebody, Gandalf?
Somebody say something?
Maybe go sit somewhere else?
You gonna keep rattling that pipe next to me?
Can one of those eagles drop him off at home so he doesn't have to, like, walk the whole way?
It's called there and back again
Oh
They're all fine
Yeah we just lost you know
Feely, Keeley, Thorin Oakenshield
But so they're all fine
Yeah Feely, Keeley, Thorin Oakenshield. But so they're all fine.
Yeah.
A little bit.
I miss Azog the Defiler.
What are they going to be threatened by now?
You know, he just had the kind of energy I liked.
Now begins the five endings. It is like really like come on
that's kind of cute
that woman has a good hat
it's kind of like the Japanese one I have
yeah it's just like yours
yep
I guess I don't need anything Songs will be sung, tales will be tongue
he's just some guy
my friend
my homie he was like a boss you know what I mean and like My friend.
My homie.
He was like a boss, you know what I mean?
You mourn your boss, but... But it's fine.
Gang's all here.
Alright, one last picture.
Far left looks like Kelseysey grimer oh my god
don't knock on my fucking door
Star tissue, Dado Aww
You said star tissue again?
Yes
Look at that little circle of whole hair missing on his head
Aww, that makes me want to cry
And maybe I hear the
Maybe I hear the teaser for it back and out bell bows out don't go knocking
maybe i seem a bit confused well that's because i just killed 2000 orcs and i do know what to do
with all the dirty dishes and lego lie spread lumbus bread they're calling it again
this is pretty
I like this
everyone they pass
on the way back should be Benedict Cumberbatch
mhm Everyone they pass on the way back should be Benedict Cumberbatch. Mm-hmm.
See, I weirdly think the second movie should have ended with Smaug destructing the town.
I completely agree with you.
Other than the word destructing.
It's called The Desolation of Smaug.
Yeah.
So they should have killed Smaug.
And then the movie starts. But I guess when you came out of desolation at the end, you know what I'm saying?
I guess I keep thinking of the
decimation.
And then what about how you just said destructing
earlier?
Did you mean destroying?
Yeah.
You wish I would
release you?
I'm your SO.
We're getting really close to the end here.
Yeah, I can feel it. I'm your SO. We're getting really close to the end here. So yeah, I can feel it.
I feel like the way he's dressed,
it's like when an American goes abroad for a semester and they come back and
they,
they now wear a cravat.
Like everyone's going to see him and they're like,
uh,
he's like,
actually where I went, they actually really wore these a lot.
No need to worry about that ring.
What a little liar.
You just hear that lie?
Who said that?
Bilbo.
Look, he's just going to live alone he should have the ring just a couple things from his travels do you think something different happens to him if he
uses it as a cock ring you have to answer that question i'm'm your guest. I think the jizz becomes blurry.
That's really scary, actually.
This is so cute.
It made me say such a gross thing over it.
Yep.
Okay. Oh, that's so annoying. Can they see him?
Like, everyone turn it around.
Fuckers. It's been 13 months.
What is it?
He didn't want to say he's a burglar.
Oh.
My boss. my boss that is depressing that just gave me anxiety seeing this
how gross of everyone
I mean 13 months months, though.
It's a long time.
Hope you guys heard our nightly motorcycle. I just like move in.
Well, you know, I guess it's probably got new priorities now and so forth.
Okay.
Can't believe I didn't remember that so many of the dwarves died.
I just can't believe how long they're spending on this part.
Okay, you're breathing.
Oh my God, put it on.
Well, now it's going to be Ian Holm.
Look how old that hand is.
Okay. so now it's the beginning of that movie yeah that's cute yeah it's cute as hell wow now here's what's crazy i want to now i immediately want to watch fellowship

So I'm going to wrap it up here.
For sure.
For sure.
I have to pee as well.
But thanks, you guys.
Thanks for sticking with us through that one.

ones that i read i want to do um dennis the menace that seems oh that's fun that's really fun yeah
