We have come to my my my favorite part of any interview.

And that is when we get to talk about the Lord of the Rings because my my executive, Mr is sighing over here.

Oh, God.

We eventually have to turn the hour over to cordon.

What?

What is?

I understand?

You're a fan, and you know I love it.

I'm practicing by saying I'm not as big a fan as you know.

One is who knows.

Maybe people make too much of it.

Tell me about your fans.

Know I'm not.

I've seen you talk about it.

You know more.

For example, I know there is a book called The Summarily in and you know everything that's inside of it.

Even I don't know everything inside the cell.

Morally, it is.

It is pretty dense, but I do love it.

I do love it as well.

Okay, first off, I got into the hot into Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit when I was, like five.

My dad read me The Hobbit when I was five years old, and I've been obsessed with it ever since.

Sure.

Now, huge fan of the movies, My wife and I re watched them pretty much every year.

We just re watched them again.

Quality quality woman.

Oh, yeah.

You kidding best.

Yeah, sure.

I can't.

I can't believe it.

Every day.

You can't believe your marriage or every day, or you can't believe you don't watch it every day.

Both.

Okay.

I mean, what's your first time?

What's your favorite part of the Let's talk, man.

Let's jam.

What do you wanna talk about?

Let's let's just curious like I'm very cautiously optimistic about this new series that's coming.

And I kind of wanted to here when you thought like it sounds like it's gonna be.

I'm super curious.

I'm super curious about There's so much.

I mean, I Who was that?

You introduced me to some guy from Amazon when we were out at the Emmys the last time those could be held, remember?

And and he said, Oh, you might want to meet this guy.

He's the guy in a responsible lord of the Rings at Amazon, and I said, Don't tell me anything.

Let me tell you what I think.

That's what the series is.

He goes okay, and I said, It's the second day, just mostly about Akala.

Beth, which is the fall of Numenor because it's got all the characters you want, involves the creation of the rings, the betrayal of Caleb.

Remember a sarin at his height when he's still beautiful, then his capture by the Numenor?

Ian's going back to new manner, obviously, the fall of Alfaro's on and, uh, and the fact that those are Paradorn's ancestors and you get to meet every principal character.

You can even have L.

Ron in it, and I said, That's gotta be it.

And he just looked at the guy next to him and walked away from me.

I think, for fear that I described the entire thing.

So I'm really excited, actually, because it's so far before and again, I'll let you talk eventually.

It's so far before the stories of the Lord.

It's thousands of years before the stories and the Lord of the Rings that you see why Gondor is such a great kingdom.

Because Numenor, where those people came from, was so great that it's inconceivable that it turns out that in the Lord of the Rings, But you find out if you read the summary and everything in middle Earth is built by the new Minori ins.

Uh, Ministerial, Many, uh, Ethel, which comes minutes more goal as Gillian Roth.

Um, they're the ones who bring the volunteers over which were probably forged by phone or in the depths of time Whose name means, yes, spirit of fire.

Also, that, uh, weather top is built by them or thank or source.

Arman is built by the new Minori ins.

Fucking Helms Deep is built by the new Minori ins.

There is nothing of any scale that is not good by the North.

And of course, the Argonaut is built by the new Minori ins as well, because here's the thing and that the theme here is that the the theme is about mortality, immortality, and and and, uh, you know, where's your place within, uh, avatars creation.

The men, of course, build monumental things because they're here and they're gone.

The elves build things that kind of blend into the woodwork and are gone when they're gone because they never leave the world leaves.

The men are obsessed with building things that leave their permanent mark on the world.

Because they go in, the world stays.

It's heartbreaking, isn't it?

A heartbreaking admission of our fear of our insignificance.

Yeah, but eventually time takes it all.

Yeah, Yeah, I think that's the tagline for the Amazon series.

Eventually.

So anyway, let's we'll edit out everything I said and leave none of that shit in.

You know, I was hoping to get that.

I mean, you got the truncated version, man.

I'm really excited about it.

Because the story is incredibly rich.

My question is going to be this.

You think a cell door is going to be in it?

Eventually?

Yes.

Eventually.

Yes.

Because without it, Well, what do we What do we have if we don't have a cell door?

Why don't we get what don't we get?

What does Iceland or do that Nobody else does in the Selma really in.

And you think they're just going to use the footage from the beginning of fellowship when they show the war?

I wish.

I wish that we really do have to go.

I think we're going to go into a union ot here, but not my money, but But I really I really it's really going to be super exciting.

I mean, I know I'm so excited.

Yeah.

I mean, I hope they don't fuck it up because you know what we won't do.

Forgive them.

Oh, certainly.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Mm.

Yeah.

Mhm.
