We are back for Season 2 of Drunk Tolk! (This is chapter 1 of Book 2 of the Fellowship of the Ring but for continuation reasons we are calling it Chapter 13)

In this chapter we discuss Frodo being a sturdy beast of a chap, Sam and Frodos relationship, the many many meetings with some great new characters, and the origins of "good read". Prepare for lots and lots of exposition but janey mac, it's good gear!

We are here, ladies and gentlemen - the final chapter of Book 1 of The Fellowship of the Ring!Much like Frodo, we were in need of some help so for this episode we had to call in two super subs, Newman and Deggy to drag us the last furlong to Rivendell!As always, we chat about the important stuff, such as; sneery Nazgul in the nip, does Aragorns healing inventory include dock leaves and buying warts, and would hobbits make good jockeys?We also discuss the small stuff like Glorfindel aka Elven Jesus and what was the bigger injustice; Glorfindel being missing from the films or Arwen being missing from this chapter!

In this episode we’re relieved to hear Fatty Bolger escapes death & the worlds loudest alarm is set off. We learn the Nazgul get nerfed and have a trait that lets people know that they’re about.

We discuss the whereabouts of the ponies, Sam’s impeccable aim even for a Hobbit & the questionable southerner mentioned that we give our own tepid takes about. We see the wise in Sam as he recites one of his many poems & follow the lads through their hard road to Weathertop.

It is a sad chapter for all pub lovers....as the hobbits leave the pub!As they settle in for the night they see they have a mysterious (and sexy) [st]ranger in their room...called Strider!We ask if he has better ears than Sam, better insults than Gandalf and higher notions than his film counterpart.We talk about Gandalfs deadly poem in his letter to Frodo and stuff like how Barliman is to blame for Frodos injuries so far.As always, we discuss how Sam is wise, Frodo is class, Pippens a moron and Merry is...where the hell is Merry?

In Chapter 9 we join the hobbits in the pub. We discuss the Breeland, our love for Tolkiens character names and how Tolkien may have invented the fantasy "tavern" trope. As usual, we do a rundown of the chapter and add our tepid takes. We also chat about the mysterious folk also inside the inn and the inherent power the ring shows in this chapter.

In chapter 8 we take a turn for the worst...someone new takes over as host! Not only that but we introduce a new guest pod member! As for Frodo and the lads, we talk about them leaving Toms gaf and heading out across the spooky Barrow-Downs and getting kidnapped by a 'wight'. We chat about the ins and outs of both these things as well as Frodo's fortitude and Middle Earths form of therapy, running about in the nip

We take a wild ride in the house of Tom Bombadil, please keep all hands & feet inside the podcast at all times.

 

In this episode we talk everything Tom Bombadil. What he is & where he comes from. We are also introduced to his wife Goldberry and we have some bizarre hot takes on both. We discuss another dream of Frodo’s, quotes from the movies that pay tribute to the chapter & characters like Tom in movies/books that stick out like a sore thumb.

Welcome to the Old Forest. Bring spare jocks because this forest holds grudges and is ready to murder you.

In this episode we discuss how this is the first in a trilogy of chapters omitted from the films, all because of the wonderful and controversial character that is Tom Bombadil. We discuss what chapters we are looking forward to, where does Tom get his milk, is Sam saved by his gardening roots & of course more of our Tepid Takes.

In Chapter 5 we go to Buckland. The hobbits help Frodo move while Frodo sits back and watches. We find out songs about baths are a thing, that Sam is a snitch (can he be a rat & a dog?) and that Frodo's friends all know about the ring.

Fatty Bolger misses out on the journey of a lifetime, but gains a free gaf and an almost guaranteed death sentence. We talk tepid takes about Frodo's mushroom & the queen among farmers wives, even more on mushrooms & Frodo's dream.
