In this episode, Henrik takes us on a journey through the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, focusing particularly on the everyday lives of elves.
With his signature blend of humor and introspection, Henrik ponders the mundane aspects of immortal life that are often overlooked in fantasy literature.
From questioning the practicalities of elven hygiene to imagining the domestic struggles of an unconventional elf named Bonkers, Henrik weaves a tapestry of absurd scenarios that challenge our perceptions of these mythical beings. He explores the potential monotony of eternal life, the peculiarities of elven society, and the frustrations of divine intervention in mortal affairs.
Along the way, Henrik shares his thoughts on language, accents in fantasy adaptations, and the generic portrayal of fantasy races. He even delves into the realm of dental hygiene, offering a unique perspective on the act of brushing one's teeth.
As the episode winds down, Henrik finally delivers on his promise of presenting made-up information, leaving listeners with a weird image of blue buttons becoming stars in the night sky.
This episode is a perfect blend of relaxation and humor, inviting listeners to drift off to sleep while pondering the absurdities of fantasy worlds and the hidden complexities of seemingly perfect societies.

[00:00:46] Hi and welcome to Fall asleep with Henrik.
[00:00:52] I'm Henrik.
[00:00:55] And you're sleepy.
[00:00:58] And it is what it is.
[00:01:02] What happens, happens.
[00:01:05] And right now there is nothing we can do about anything.
[00:01:08] So without further ado, let's go.
[00:01:13] Let's begin.
[00:01:15] Let's get this show on the road.
[00:01:18] Okay, so that was very cringe of me to say, let's get this show on the road.
[00:01:23] Because I don't have coverage to use those words in my vocabulary.
[00:01:32] I am not that cool.
[00:01:37] So hi, sleepy.
[00:01:39] Hi.
[00:01:40] This is a podcast that is meant for you to fall asleep.
[00:01:46] Two.
[00:01:48] I will just speak and use my imagination and my vocabulary as good as I can.
[00:01:59] And you don't have to listen to what I say.
[00:02:02] You don't have to listen to my actual words if you don't want to.
[00:02:06] You can just press play and then feel free to drift in and out of attention until you, if you do, fall asleep.
[00:02:21] So my name is Henrik.
[00:02:23] I'm from Sweden.
[00:02:24] I'm 49 years old.
[00:02:26] And I intend for this podcast to be a thing.
[00:02:33] I want this podcast to be a thing.
[00:02:37] It's already a thing, I know.
[00:02:40] I mean, what constitutes a thing?
[00:02:42] For anything to be a thing?
[00:02:50] Well, in order for a thing to become a thing, per se.
[00:02:55] I don't know the actual requirements.
[00:02:57] But I guess in order for a thing to be considered a thing, you need to think about whether or not the thing in question has, is a part of time.
[00:03:16] And if, therefore, it carries information or if it is information.
[00:03:23] So I guess everything that's to be considered information could be considered a thing.
[00:03:32] So a rock, for instance, is a thing because it is information.
[00:03:38] A rock is all sorts of information.
[00:03:41] It's information about robustness, weight, color, types of rock, bacteria, and also the very broad information that it is a rock.
[00:04:03] Of course, it can be information about shapes and also position.
[00:04:08] But in a broader sense, a rock's main information is that it is a rock.
[00:04:17] At least when being viewed by one of us, human apes, we look at a rock and we say, look, there is a rock.
[00:04:30] But it doesn't have to be a rock to be a thing.
[00:04:34] You can also just, okay, I guess I'm deep diving.
[00:04:39] Okay, just, I'm jumping in at the deep end of the pool this early in the episode.
[00:04:46] If you're a new listener, a new sleepy, then you know that I tend to be more and more fluffy the longer the episode progresses.
[00:04:58] But it's, okay, so this time I went into the deep end.
[00:05:07] And, yeah, one thing, I am Swedish.
[00:05:12] So if you think that I have a funny accent or misused words, then it's totally okay because I'm improvising in a language that is not my own.
[00:05:25] And that's actually a really funny thing to do.
[00:05:31] I have procrastinated this project for so long.
[00:05:39] I mean, years really.
[00:05:42] Because I never really thought that I could pull it off.
[00:05:47] I do this in Swedish twice a week and I've been doing it for many years now.
[00:05:52] And that's how I make money.
[00:05:55] That's my way of living.
[00:05:57] But I've never improvised this way in English.
[00:06:01] I mean, ever.
[00:06:04] Like everyone in Sweden, I know a lot of English, but I don't speak it on a regular basis.
[00:06:11] And I, most of all, I've never seen myself as a person who can just improvise and speak in this language for an hour, unabridged.
[00:06:28] But as it turned out, I could.
[00:06:33] I can.
[00:06:37] And it's actually really funny.
[00:06:40] It's fun in a different way than when I do this in Swedish.
[00:06:44] Because it presents me in a different light to myself.
[00:06:50] So I watch myself from the outside in a way.
[00:06:57] And I see this stranger manifest itself in front of me.
[00:07:05] And the stranger is me.
[00:07:07] And I really enjoy that.
[00:07:12] So in order for a thing to be a thing, it needs to be information.
[00:07:16] Is that fair to say?
[00:07:19] That if you need, if you have like a need for a thing to manifest itself, the thing in question will have to be information.
[00:07:32] Then again, information is very easy to create.
[00:07:39] Because you have, I mean, we live in a universe with constant information.
[00:07:46] And I'm not talking about whenever you doom scroll, you get a lot of information.
[00:07:53] Because that's just a certain type of information.
[00:07:57] Like visual information.
[00:08:02] Like visual information of different types.
[00:08:07] Or rather, the information is the same, but the content of the information is different.
[00:08:14] Very different.
[00:08:15] It can be like a documentary of toenails throughout history.
[00:08:20] Or it can be like the latest news on like a famous imprisoned rapper.
[00:08:34] So you can come up with information that is not true or accurate or even relevant.
[00:08:45] For instance, just for the sake of this episode, I'm going to come up with some information.
[00:08:52] And the second that I come up with this information that I haven't come up with yet, that information becomes information.
[00:09:04] You know?
[00:09:05] Even when speaking about this information that still doesn't exist, I sort of create.
[00:09:14] I sort of create it anyway.
[00:09:16] Because talking about it, even though I don't name it or give it any specifications,
[00:09:24] I still make it real in a way.
[00:09:29] Because I'm creating expectations.
[00:09:33] Because I know that, Sleepy, right now you're just hanging on by a thread.
[00:09:41] If you don't tell me now, your inner voice is screaming at me.
[00:09:47] If you don't tell me now, you weird Swedish podcaster, ex-children's show TV host, failed actor.
[00:10:01] If you don't present this fact to me now, this information, I will go bonkers on you.
[00:10:09] Yes, Sleepy, you are using that exact term, bonkers.
[00:10:15] Because that's what you do.
[00:10:16] That's who you are.
[00:10:18] You are a person who frequently uses the word bonkers when describing some sort of aggravated assault thing that you do on people.
[00:10:30] Then you go bonkers, you know?
[00:10:33] And you've been this way since like your early school days.
[00:10:39] I'm sorry, I don't know you.
[00:10:41] I don't know anything about you.
[00:10:42] But it's fun to come up with this persona that is Sleepy.
[00:10:51] By now, there are a few thousand of you Sleepys.
[00:10:58] Because I would love you to be more.
[00:11:01] Because in the future, I would love to be able to make a living out of this English version of the podcast as well.
[00:11:09] I would love it to take...
[00:11:13] Take...
[00:11:13] What do you say?
[00:11:16] To pick up speed and to grow.
[00:11:20] So, if you like it, please share it.
[00:11:22] Tell your friends about it.
[00:11:24] And leave a review.
[00:11:26] Okay, so the information I'm going to come up with, which is totally untrue by the way.
[00:11:32] I'm not going to say anything true.
[00:11:36] But that doesn't matter really.
[00:11:38] In this post-true era.
[00:11:40] People call it the post-truth era.
[00:11:45] Okay, so I find that puzzling.
[00:11:49] Because isn't like everything post-truth in a way?
[00:11:56] Because truth is such a tiny window in the huge, vast field of information that we bathe in.
[00:12:08] Bathe in existing today.
[00:12:12] Or any day.
[00:12:14] Not just today.
[00:12:17] I mean, for instance, a book can be good.
[00:12:22] But that disinformation is not false or true.
[00:12:26] It depends on the subjective experiences of the reader.
[00:12:31] So, a car can be green or yellowish green.
[00:12:38] Or dark green.
[00:12:41] Depending on who is particularly fond of each color spectrum thing.
[00:12:50] So, truth is not...
[00:12:53] Okay, so this is information.
[00:12:55] I'm...
[00:12:57] I'm...
[00:12:58] I'm...
[00:12:59] I'm...
[00:13:00] I'm right now...
[00:13:02] Reading...
[00:13:03] Joval Harari's latest book.
[00:13:06] Nexus.
[00:13:09] Which I highly recommend, by the way.
[00:13:11] So...
[00:13:12] But I don't want to dwell on that.
[00:13:14] It's...
[00:13:14] But it's fascinating that...
[00:13:16] Truth, per definition...
[00:13:19] Doesn't have to be the only information out there.
[00:13:22] There is so much information.
[00:13:25] And...
[00:13:26] There...
[00:13:26] The most of the information around us...
[00:13:30] Isn't...
[00:13:30] Either true or false.
[00:13:32] It just is.
[00:13:33] You know?
[00:13:35] Mostly because...
[00:13:36] There are no ideologies...
[00:13:38] Attached to the fact.
[00:13:39] To the information.
[00:13:41] So, for instance, a rock is a rock.
[00:13:43] You know?
[00:13:44] It can be good.
[00:13:45] It can be bad.
[00:13:45] It can be anything.
[00:13:47] No one passes a rock and thinks...
[00:13:50] This rock is like...
[00:13:53] Anything.
[00:13:54] You know?
[00:13:54] Well, of course, if the rock is a weapon...
[00:13:57] Thrown at you.
[00:13:58] Or if the rock is being placed...
[00:13:59] In your front yard.
[00:14:01] Or if the rock is this huge mountain...
[00:14:05] In the Australian...
[00:14:09] Wilderness.
[00:14:12] Then, of course...
[00:14:14] The rock is...
[00:14:18] Okay.
[00:14:18] So I'm in too deep now.
[00:14:20] I don't know what I'm talking about.
[00:14:22] That doesn't matter though.
[00:14:25] Because I don't claim to be...
[00:14:28] This great thinker...
[00:14:29] Or this great expert in anything.
[00:14:32] I'm just some dude...
[00:14:33] From Sweden.
[00:14:35] Talking.
[00:14:36] And...
[00:14:37] I have promised you...
[00:14:39] Totally fake information.
[00:14:41] Which still will be...
[00:14:43] In a way true.
[00:14:44] Because...
[00:14:44] When I utter it...
[00:14:46] When I say the words that...
[00:14:48] Make up the...
[00:14:50] This type of specific information...
[00:14:52] At some level...
[00:14:55] It will manifest itself...
[00:14:58] And the manifestation itself...
[00:15:00] Will make it true.
[00:15:01] Not true in an absolute objective sense...
[00:15:04] But true...
[00:15:05] Like in this...
[00:15:07] Subjective...
[00:15:09] Inner...
[00:15:09] Imaginative way.
[00:15:12] So...
[00:15:13] The information I'm going to utter is...
[00:15:18] Well, actually...
[00:15:19] Let me come back to that.
[00:15:19] Let me circle around...
[00:15:20] Just to tease you.
[00:15:24] Okay, so...
[00:15:25] This whole episode...
[00:15:26] Will be about me...
[00:15:28] Presenting this...
[00:15:29] Explicit type of information...
[00:15:31] That is...
[00:15:32] Totally made up.
[00:15:34] And...
[00:15:36] That...
[00:15:37] Will in a sense...
[00:15:39] Be true...
[00:15:41] Anyway...
[00:15:41] When I utter it.
[00:15:43] And I'm not talking about...
[00:15:45] The...
[00:15:45] Cynic way of...
[00:15:47] Lying to people...
[00:15:48] And mislead them.
[00:15:51] Because...
[00:15:52] An untrue thing...
[00:15:54] Is still an untrue thing...
[00:15:55] Even if people...
[00:15:56] View them as true.
[00:16:01] So...
[00:16:01] You can say...
[00:16:04] Apples are generally...
[00:16:07] Black...
[00:16:08] In color.
[00:16:09] And...
[00:16:10] A sign of a healthy...
[00:16:12] Good...
[00:16:13] Nourishment...
[00:16:15] Rich apple...
[00:16:16] Is...
[00:16:17] That it's...
[00:16:18] Totally pitch black.
[00:16:19] Black like coal.
[00:16:21] If an apple is green...
[00:16:23] Or yellow...
[00:16:24] Or red...
[00:16:24] You shouldn't eat it...
[00:16:26] Because...
[00:16:27] That's a sign of...
[00:16:28] The apple being made...
[00:16:31] By...
[00:16:32] Someone in Mordor.
[00:16:34] Isn't it fun...
[00:16:35] By the way...
[00:16:35] In this...
[00:16:37] Rings of power series...
[00:16:42] On...
[00:16:42] Amazon Prime...
[00:16:44] I think...
[00:16:44] Isn't it funny that...
[00:16:46] They've decided that...
[00:16:49] The elves...
[00:16:51] Are going to have this...
[00:16:52] Arr...
[00:16:53] Sound instead of...
[00:16:54] Arr...
[00:16:55] I...
[00:16:55] Don't get me wrong...
[00:16:56] I really love it...
[00:16:57] It's...
[00:16:58] I think it's great...
[00:16:59] Whenever...
[00:17:01] American productions...
[00:17:02] Choose to skip that...
[00:17:04] Arr...
[00:17:05] Sound because that...
[00:17:07] Almost...
[00:17:08] No one...
[00:17:09] In Europe...
[00:17:10] Uses that word...
[00:17:12] And...
[00:17:13] Especially not in Scandinavia...
[00:17:15] Where...
[00:17:16] I mean...
[00:17:16] I don't know...
[00:17:17] Elvish specifically...
[00:17:19] But Tolkien was...
[00:17:20] Very fond of the...
[00:17:22] Old...
[00:17:23] Norwegian and...
[00:17:25] Scandinavian languages...
[00:17:28] I think...
[00:17:30] I don't know...
[00:17:31] So it's...
[00:17:32] But it's almost...
[00:17:33] It's really...
[00:17:35] Sticks out...
[00:17:36] You know...
[00:17:37] When these...
[00:17:38] Clearly...
[00:17:40] American actors...
[00:17:41] Or British actors...
[00:17:42] Use this...
[00:17:43] Arr...
[00:17:44] Word...
[00:17:44] Because it sounds a bit...
[00:17:47] What do you say?
[00:17:49] Made up...
[00:17:51] You know...
[00:17:51] It's almost like...
[00:17:52] You think...
[00:17:53] I don't really know...
[00:17:55] If there even is...
[00:17:56] Such a sound...
[00:17:58] Mordor...
[00:18:01] You know...
[00:18:02] If I were to say...
[00:18:06] Mordor...
[00:18:06] In Swedish...
[00:18:08] It's like...
[00:18:09] Mordor...
[00:18:12] Mordor...
[00:18:13] So it's...
[00:18:14] It's not...
[00:18:15] Mordor...
[00:18:16] It's...
[00:18:17] Well...
[00:18:18] It...
[00:18:18] Don't get me wrong...
[00:18:19] I love it...
[00:18:20] It's just...
[00:18:22] I don't know...
[00:18:24] If...
[00:18:25] I think you...
[00:18:26] They are putting too much emphasis on the...
[00:18:29] Arr...
[00:18:30] You know...
[00:18:31] If that was a...
[00:18:34] If that were a...
[00:18:36] Natural...
[00:18:37] Way of them speaking...
[00:18:39] Using the R...
[00:18:41] The letter R...
[00:18:42] The R sound in that sense...
[00:18:45] Then...
[00:18:45] They would just tone it down...
[00:18:47] You know...
[00:18:48] A little...
[00:18:48] Because it...
[00:18:49] Saves...
[00:18:51] A little energy...
[00:18:52] When you...
[00:18:54] Don't...
[00:18:55] Because using the R word in that sense...
[00:18:58] That very...
[00:18:59] Exaggerated way...
[00:19:00] It costs energy...
[00:19:02] And let's say that elves are...
[00:19:05] Immortal...
[00:19:06] And they have been living for hundreds and hundreds of...
[00:19:08] Even thousands of years...
[00:19:11] I mean...
[00:19:12] Language has a way of...
[00:19:14] Tear...
[00:19:15] It...
[00:19:16] It tears down...
[00:19:17] You know...
[00:19:18] Words get shorter...
[00:19:22] And...
[00:19:22] Syllables get...
[00:19:25] You know...
[00:19:26] Tear down...
[00:19:29] So...
[00:19:31] I...
[00:19:32] I don't really...
[00:19:33] I don't really buy the idea...
[00:19:35] That...
[00:19:36] The very elaborate...
[00:19:38] Use of...
[00:19:41] You know...
[00:19:42] Consonants and vocals...
[00:19:44] And...
[00:19:47] All the different...
[00:19:48] Twerks and...
[00:19:50] Quirks and...
[00:19:51] Blurks and smirks and clerks and...
[00:19:53] Tadaburks...
[00:19:54] Of the elvish language...
[00:19:57] It's...
[00:19:57] It's too much...
[00:20:00] If...
[00:20:00] If I were a thousand years old...
[00:20:02] I wouldn't be speaking...
[00:20:04] So elaborate...
[00:20:05] It's true...
[00:20:06] I wouldn't...
[00:20:08] I would be...
[00:20:09] Like...
[00:20:11] Grunting...
[00:20:12] I mean...
[00:20:13] If I were a thousand years old...
[00:20:14] I wouldn't stand...
[00:20:16] When I would...
[00:20:17] You know...
[00:20:17] For instance...
[00:20:18] Imagine an elf...
[00:20:19] Waking up an ordinary day...
[00:20:21] Not this...
[00:20:21] Epic day...
[00:20:23] When...
[00:20:23] Everything is at stake...
[00:20:25] Like...
[00:20:26] Every day you meet an elf...
[00:20:27] There's something really serious going on...
[00:20:30] You can't just...
[00:20:31] Meet an elf on an ordinary day...
[00:20:34] And...
[00:20:34] Imagine...
[00:20:35] Living for a thousand years...
[00:20:38] I mean...
[00:20:38] The majority of those days...
[00:20:40] Would have been...
[00:20:42] Like...
[00:20:43] Very...
[00:20:43] Really normal...
[00:20:45] Boring...
[00:20:45] Days...
[00:20:48] But...
[00:20:49] Every time you meet an elf...
[00:20:51] Or a dwarf...
[00:20:52] Or...
[00:20:53] Or any human...
[00:20:54] In the Lord of the Rings...
[00:20:56] Saga...
[00:20:57] There's something really serious going on...
[00:21:00] Like...
[00:21:01] A country is about to collapse...
[00:21:03] Or...
[00:21:04] A king is about to declare...
[00:21:06] War...
[00:21:08] Or...
[00:21:08] The world...
[00:21:10] As we know it...
[00:21:10] Is about to end...
[00:21:11] Like...
[00:21:12] This is really serious stuff...
[00:21:14] But I mean that...
[00:21:15] I mean...
[00:21:16] For instance...
[00:21:16] Think of Elrond...
[00:21:18] Or...
[00:21:18] Elrond...
[00:21:20] Or...
[00:21:20] Oh my god...
[00:21:23] When I'm put on the spot like this...
[00:21:25] I just can't...
[00:21:27] Galatriel...
[00:21:30] Galatriel...
[00:21:31] Just think of them...
[00:21:33] You know...
[00:21:33] They are really old...
[00:21:35] And...
[00:21:37] They also...
[00:21:38] They...
[00:21:39] They've been walking around like...
[00:21:42] It must be...
[00:21:44] You know...
[00:21:45] It must be...
[00:21:46] So many instances of time...
[00:21:48] Like...
[00:21:48] Hundreds of years at a time...
[00:21:50] When nothing really happens...
[00:21:53] Well...
[00:21:54] If not a hundred...
[00:21:55] So say...
[00:21:56] 25 years...
[00:21:58] With just...
[00:21:59] Boring day-to-day business...
[00:22:01] Like Elrond has a stomach flu...
[00:22:04] And...
[00:22:06] After that...
[00:22:07] He just loses...
[00:22:08] His sense of taste...
[00:22:10] It just...
[00:22:11] He just...
[00:22:12] He doesn't want to eat...
[00:22:14] And Galatriel...
[00:22:15] Brings him chicken soup...
[00:22:17] And he just...
[00:22:18] Frans...
[00:22:19] You know...
[00:22:20] And...
[00:22:22] He's just...
[00:22:23] Really whiny...
[00:22:24] And...
[00:22:25] He's a...
[00:22:26] He's hell to be with...
[00:22:28] Because he's...
[00:22:29] He's...
[00:22:30] He just...
[00:22:31] He dislikes...
[00:22:31] Like everything and everyone...
[00:22:33] Because he...
[00:22:33] You know...
[00:22:34] When you have this...
[00:22:35] Illness in you...
[00:22:36] That never really lets go...
[00:22:38] Many people with post-COVID...
[00:22:41] Can witness of this...
[00:22:43] It's...
[00:22:44] Like...
[00:22:45] It's awful...
[00:22:46] I mean...
[00:22:47] And say...
[00:22:48] Elrond maybe had...
[00:22:50] Post-COVID...
[00:22:51] Or something similar to that...
[00:22:53] And...
[00:22:53] I mean...
[00:22:54] He's an elf...
[00:22:54] So this can go on for like...
[00:22:57] Centuries...
[00:22:57] And...
[00:22:58] I mean...
[00:22:59] Everything that happens for more than a week...
[00:23:01] Straight...
[00:23:02] Everything that is a fact...
[00:23:04] For more...
[00:23:04] Everything that is a thing...
[00:23:06] For more than a week straight...
[00:23:08] Becomes...
[00:23:09] You know...
[00:23:10] As far as the human mind is concerned...
[00:23:13] And...
[00:23:14] Eternity...
[00:23:14] This is...
[00:23:15] How it is now...
[00:23:17] So imagine...
[00:23:18] You and I would meet...
[00:23:20] And I would be...
[00:23:21] Like...
[00:23:21] Really nice...
[00:23:22] For 12 hours...
[00:23:23] And then all of a sudden...
[00:23:25] I would just change...
[00:23:27] And be this...
[00:23:29] Whiny...
[00:23:31] Bitter...
[00:23:32] Cranky old man...
[00:23:33] And I would be...
[00:23:35] That way for...
[00:23:37] 12 days...
[00:23:39] Or...
[00:23:40] It doesn't even have to be 12 days...
[00:23:41] It can be like...
[00:23:42] Two days...
[00:24:00] And...
[00:24:01] So...
[00:24:01] Galadriel...
[00:24:03] She has totally forgotten about this...
[00:24:06] Amazing Elrond...
[00:24:07] That she knew...
[00:24:09] That she's known for like...
[00:24:11] 355 years...
[00:24:13] Prior to his stomach flu...
[00:24:16] But...
[00:24:17] Since his stomach flu...
[00:24:18] And that never really...
[00:24:20] Let go...
[00:24:21] Well...
[00:24:22] Of course it let...
[00:24:23] It...
[00:24:24] It let go...
[00:24:25] But he...
[00:24:26] It...
[00:24:27] It shaped him...
[00:24:28] You know...
[00:24:29] I have a friend that...
[00:24:30] Had this really...
[00:24:32] Awful hangover...
[00:24:33] This was many years ago...
[00:24:35] We were at this...
[00:24:36] Party...
[00:24:37] One of our friends...
[00:24:37] Turned 30...
[00:24:38] And he...
[00:24:39] He got really drunk...
[00:24:41] And...
[00:24:42] Not...
[00:24:43] Like...
[00:24:44] Overly drunk...
[00:24:45] But he got very drunk...
[00:24:46] And he usually...
[00:24:47] He...
[00:24:47] Usually never got...
[00:24:48] That drunk...
[00:24:49] And...
[00:24:51] The day after...
[00:24:52] He woke up and...
[00:24:53] He had...
[00:24:54] A hangover that changed him...
[00:24:57] I mean for real...
[00:24:59] He...
[00:25:00] Of course the day itself...
[00:25:02] Was awful...
[00:25:03] As hangover days...
[00:25:04] Usually are...
[00:25:05] Especially when you've been out late...
[00:25:07] And been drinking...
[00:25:08] A lot...
[00:25:10] But then...
[00:25:11] He went into this...
[00:25:13] Depression...
[00:25:14] Thing...
[00:25:15] And...
[00:25:16] It took like...
[00:25:18] A year or two for him to...
[00:25:23] You know...
[00:25:23] Regather himself...
[00:25:25] And...
[00:25:25] The guy who came out of that...
[00:25:27] Depression...
[00:25:28] Was...
[00:25:28] A different guy...
[00:25:30] Not in any...
[00:25:31] Surreal or...
[00:25:33] Serious sense...
[00:25:34] But...
[00:25:35] He was a different...
[00:25:36] Person...
[00:25:37] As any change does to someone...
[00:25:40] So...
[00:25:41] That is...
[00:25:41] This...
[00:25:42] Really severe stomach flu...
[00:25:43] That Elrond got...
[00:25:45] That really changed him...
[00:25:46] And then of course...
[00:25:47] Galadriel...
[00:25:48] She just forgot about the old Elrond...
[00:25:50] And...
[00:25:52] Think of him as...
[00:25:54] This bitter old...
[00:25:55] Cranky Elf...
[00:25:56] You know...
[00:25:59] No...
[00:26:00] But every day you meet an Elf...
[00:26:01] There's...
[00:26:02] You know...
[00:26:03] This God that is...
[00:26:07] Throwing his wrath...
[00:26:08] On someone...
[00:26:09] You know...
[00:26:12] It's always...
[00:26:13] Always...
[00:26:15] Sauron...
[00:26:16] It's...
[00:26:16] Sauron as well...
[00:26:18] I would say...
[00:26:19] If I...
[00:26:20] I think I have...
[00:26:21] A bit...
[00:26:22] You need to give me a little bit...
[00:26:24] Of...
[00:26:25] Confidence here...
[00:26:27] Because...
[00:26:27] I am...
[00:26:28] After all...
[00:26:30] A Scandinavian...
[00:26:31] And...
[00:26:32] With that said...
[00:26:33] I...
[00:26:34] Constantly use...
[00:26:36] The...
[00:26:37] Er...
[00:26:37] Word...
[00:26:38] Instead of R...
[00:26:40] So...
[00:26:41] You need to give me the benefit of a doubt...
[00:26:44] Here...
[00:26:46] When presenting how I...
[00:26:47] As an Elf...
[00:26:49] Would use the...
[00:26:52] The...
[00:26:53] Name...
[00:26:54] Sauron...
[00:26:54] I would say...
[00:26:55] Sauron...
[00:26:59] Sauron...
[00:27:00] Mordor...
[00:27:03] Galadriel...
[00:27:04] Elrond...
[00:27:05] You don't need to make a little motorboat...
[00:27:07] Out of your R's...
[00:27:10] Sorry...
[00:27:11] I didn't mean R's...
[00:27:13] Like R's...
[00:27:15] I mean the letter R...
[00:27:17] Your R sounds...
[00:27:21] I'm sorry...
[00:27:22] I'm sorry...
[00:27:24] I'm sorry...
[00:27:24] Sleepy...
[00:27:28] I sound...
[00:27:29] Suddenly...
[00:27:30] I mean...
[00:27:31] You could just take that...
[00:27:33] That...
[00:27:35] Sentence...
[00:27:36] And just...
[00:27:36] Put it out there...
[00:27:37] And print it on a t-shirt...
[00:27:40] You...
[00:27:40] You don't need to make a little motorboat...
[00:27:43] Out of your R's...
[00:27:47] No...
[00:27:47] I'm sorry...
[00:27:48] If you're offended...
[00:27:50] I am truly sorry...
[00:27:51] Because I know...
[00:27:52] This is supposed to make you fall asleep...
[00:27:54] I'm...
[00:27:54] I'm really sorry...
[00:27:56] Sleepy...
[00:27:57] It's just that...
[00:27:59] I mean...
[00:28:00] I don't know...
[00:28:00] I haven't...
[00:28:02] Uttered these words...
[00:28:04] In this...
[00:28:05] Order...
[00:28:06] Before...
[00:28:09] I haven't...
[00:28:11] Spoken...
[00:28:12] This way...
[00:28:14] Because it's a...
[00:28:16] It's a...
[00:28:17] It's a foreign language...
[00:28:18] So...
[00:28:19] I mean R's...
[00:28:20] Like in the letter R...
[00:28:22] In plural...
[00:28:23] Plural...
[00:28:25] Plural...
[00:28:26] I not...
[00:28:27] I don't mean R's...
[00:28:28] Like you...
[00:28:28] You...
[00:28:29] You mentioned like...
[00:28:30] The bottom...
[00:28:31] You know...
[00:28:36] If you're Irish or something...
[00:28:39] Shove it up your R's...
[00:28:41] You know...
[00:28:41] It's not that...
[00:28:43] You know...
[00:28:44] I...
[00:28:45] Let me emphasize that...
[00:28:47] That...
[00:28:48] This wasn't...
[00:28:49] A reference to...
[00:28:51] Any type of...
[00:28:52] Human biological appendix...
[00:28:55] Or...
[00:28:55] The R's maybe is not...
[00:28:57] Is the ass...
[00:28:58] An appendix?
[00:28:59] Or is it just...
[00:29:01] Well...
[00:29:02] I read somewhere that...
[00:29:06] It's very...
[00:29:07] Uncommon of animals to have this...
[00:29:10] Fluffy...
[00:29:12] Buttoms...
[00:29:13] We have like...
[00:29:14] A lot of muscle...
[00:29:15] And...
[00:29:16] Also a lot of...
[00:29:18] Embedding...
[00:29:19] You know...
[00:29:19] Fat around our muscles...
[00:29:21] In...
[00:29:22] On our...
[00:29:22] Buttons...
[00:29:23] And that's because...
[00:29:26] We are not really meant...
[00:29:27] To go upright...
[00:29:30] And...
[00:29:31] The buttocks...
[00:29:32] Those...
[00:29:33] Muscles...
[00:29:34] Keep us...
[00:29:37] Upright...
[00:29:38] If we didn't have...
[00:29:39] Because monkeys...
[00:29:41] For example...
[00:29:41] Don't have...
[00:29:42] Those...
[00:29:43] Pronounced...
[00:29:45] Asses...
[00:29:45] That we humans do...
[00:29:47] It keeps us from falling over...
[00:29:50] It keeps us upright...
[00:29:52] So whenever you see someone...
[00:29:54] With a big ass...
[00:29:55] You can just say...
[00:29:56] Thank God...
[00:29:58] That person is...
[00:30:00] Having...
[00:30:00] Or...
[00:30:01] Having...
[00:30:02] No problem...
[00:30:03] Keeping upright...
[00:30:06] Keeping upright...
[00:30:06] Okay...
[00:30:07] So...
[00:30:08] Now I think I've made a fool out of myself enough...
[00:30:14] But it's...
[00:30:16] And I don't know how I...
[00:30:18] Really...
[00:30:19] Ended up in this...
[00:30:21] Rabbit hole...
[00:30:22] Of...
[00:30:24] Arses...
[00:30:25] And...
[00:30:26] Information...
[00:30:32] Arses...
[00:30:33] And Information...
[00:30:34] If I remember this...
[00:30:35] When episode is over...
[00:30:36] I'm going to name it...
[00:30:38] Arses...
[00:30:38] And Information...
[00:30:39] But...
[00:30:40] Maybe I can't because of the...
[00:30:44] Algorithms...
[00:30:45] Algorithms that will...
[00:30:47] Think that I'm...
[00:30:50] Using bad language or something...
[00:30:54] Okay...
[00:30:55] I know I've promised you to...
[00:30:57] Deliver some...
[00:30:59] Made up...
[00:30:59] Totally false information...
[00:31:01] But...
[00:31:02] I'm going to...
[00:31:03] Dwell on the elves...
[00:31:05] For a while...
[00:31:05] Because I find it fascinating that...
[00:31:09] You know...
[00:31:10] That...
[00:31:10] Considering the length of the...
[00:31:11] Of the lives of the elves...
[00:31:13] I don't know how old a dwarf can be...
[00:31:16] But maybe 300 years or something...
[00:31:18] And...
[00:31:19] I get that...
[00:31:21] Maybe the humans...
[00:31:23] In...
[00:31:23] In middle...
[00:31:25] In middle earth...
[00:31:25] That they are...
[00:31:28] What do you say?
[00:31:29] That they can...
[00:31:30] Be serious for a lifetime...
[00:31:32] And the percentage of time...
[00:31:35] Times when you meet...
[00:31:36] A human...
[00:31:37] And something serious is going on...
[00:31:39] Could very well be...
[00:31:41] Like 80 or 90%...
[00:31:43] Because...
[00:31:44] The human life is short...
[00:31:46] And...
[00:31:47] Maybe even...
[00:31:48] I mean...
[00:31:49] Especially serious times...
[00:31:51] Maybe even...
[00:31:53] The dwarf...
[00:31:54] Percentage...
[00:31:55] Percentage of...
[00:31:57] Seriousness could be...
[00:31:59] Similar to that of a human...
[00:32:01] But I mean...
[00:32:02] Elves...
[00:32:03] I don't...
[00:32:04] I just don't think it's...
[00:32:06] A very realistic way of thinking...
[00:32:08] About it...
[00:32:09] And...
[00:32:09] Another thing that provokes me with the elves...
[00:32:12] As they are...
[00:32:15] Portrayed...
[00:32:16] In...
[00:32:16] On television and in movies...
[00:32:19] Is that...
[00:32:20] They are very generic...
[00:32:23] Don't you think?
[00:32:24] I mean...
[00:32:25] The dwarves as well...
[00:32:26] And...
[00:32:27] I mean...
[00:32:27] Isn't that a problem with fantasy overall...
[00:32:30] That...
[00:32:31] If you don't watch out...
[00:32:33] You can really...
[00:32:34] Fall into the trap of...
[00:32:36] Portraying...
[00:32:37] The characters...
[00:32:39] In a way that's very generic...
[00:32:44] Depending on which...
[00:32:45] Origin the character has...
[00:32:48] You know...
[00:32:49] A dwarf is a dwarf...
[00:32:50] You can't just...
[00:32:51] Tell a story about a dwarf that's...
[00:32:54] Higher than average...
[00:32:56] And...
[00:32:57] Fine limbed...
[00:32:58] And...
[00:32:59] Doesn't like mines...
[00:33:01] Or...
[00:33:01] Doesn't like ale...
[00:33:03] And...
[00:33:04] Doesn't have a beard...
[00:33:05] A reddish or black beard...
[00:33:08] I mean...
[00:33:09] Considering a dwarf that's...
[00:33:11] Like...
[00:33:13] I don't know...
[00:33:15] More like an elf...
[00:33:17] You know...
[00:33:17] That's...
[00:33:18] Because that's the case...
[00:33:20] Of every living thing...
[00:33:22] We're not...
[00:33:23] We're not the same...
[00:33:26] None of us are...
[00:33:29] And...
[00:33:30] But I think especially the elves...
[00:33:32] And I think...
[00:33:33] Why I think that the elves are portrayed...
[00:33:35] So generic...
[00:33:37] And in a way very uninteresting...
[00:33:39] Is...
[00:33:40] That...
[00:33:40] Considering an...
[00:33:43] Immortal...
[00:33:44] Being...
[00:33:47] I mean...
[00:33:48] What...
[00:33:49] Imagine like...
[00:33:51] Endless time...
[00:33:52] That's an endless time...
[00:33:54] Of acquiring different qualities...
[00:33:57] That makes you...
[00:33:59] Special...
[00:34:00] That makes you...
[00:34:01] Special...
[00:34:01] Yet...
[00:34:02] Every elf you meet...
[00:34:03] Is like...
[00:34:04] The same elf...
[00:34:05] They speak in a very high mannered...
[00:34:08] Tone...
[00:34:09] They...
[00:34:09] They look almost the same...
[00:34:12] With a straight hair...
[00:34:13] And...
[00:34:14] The look in their eyes...
[00:34:16] Are...
[00:34:16] Like this very proud and...
[00:34:19] Distant at the same time...
[00:34:21] And...
[00:34:22] They have this very high standards...
[00:34:24] That are...
[00:34:25] Untouched and unquestioned...
[00:34:28] And...
[00:34:29] Some...
[00:34:30] Level of arrogance...
[00:34:31] I guess...
[00:34:32] And also...
[00:34:34] This deep love for...
[00:34:37] You know...
[00:34:38] The dwellings of their own habitat...
[00:34:42] Protected valley somewhere...
[00:34:44] You know...
[00:34:45] And...
[00:34:46] I don't know...
[00:34:47] If I was a thousand years old...
[00:34:49] I would have...
[00:34:50] Developed so many different...
[00:34:52] Weird stuff...
[00:34:54] You know...
[00:34:54] Like noises...
[00:34:56] And...
[00:34:59] Preferences...
[00:34:59] You know...
[00:35:00] I don't like yellow...
[00:35:01] And then I would...
[00:35:02] Spend like...
[00:35:03] 55 years of my...
[00:35:05] Endless life...
[00:35:07] Of creating this...
[00:35:08] Perfect sphere around me...
[00:35:10] Where...
[00:35:11] Nothing yellow is...
[00:35:13] Allowed...
[00:35:14] You know...
[00:35:14] I mean...
[00:35:16] Since...
[00:35:17] Since...
[00:35:18] I mean...
[00:35:19] It's also weird that...
[00:35:21] They live in this sort of...
[00:35:25] Very...
[00:35:27] Hierarch...
[00:35:27] What do you say?
[00:35:29] Hier...
[00:35:30] Hierarchical...
[00:35:32] Hier...
[00:35:32] Oh God...
[00:35:36] Hierarchy...
[00:35:37] Their society has a great...
[00:35:39] Deal of hierarchy...
[00:35:43] Okay...
[00:35:44] I...
[00:35:45] So...
[00:35:47] It's...
[00:35:50] And why is that?
[00:35:51] I mean...
[00:35:51] Imagine being a king...
[00:35:53] And...
[00:35:54] Your subjects are...
[00:35:56] The same age...
[00:35:57] Or older than you...
[00:35:59] And...
[00:35:59] They are...
[00:36:01] When being portrayed...
[00:36:03] The same...
[00:36:04] Guy...
[00:36:06] As you...
[00:36:07] Like...
[00:36:08] From a distance...
[00:36:09] You know...
[00:36:09] Everyone is the same...
[00:36:11] Talks the same...
[00:36:11] Walks the same...
[00:36:13] It's very hard to keep...
[00:36:15] Like this pyramid of power...
[00:36:17] When...
[00:36:19] You have endless time...
[00:36:21] On your hands...
[00:36:22] On your hands...
[00:36:24] So...
[00:36:24] Imagine being...
[00:36:26] An elven...
[00:36:30] Like...
[00:36:31] Toilet cleaner...
[00:36:32] You never...
[00:36:33] Hear those stories...
[00:36:35] Do you?
[00:36:36] Who cleans the toilets...
[00:36:37] Of the elven...
[00:36:39] Arses?
[00:36:41] Who cleans their...
[00:36:43] Toilets?
[00:36:44] I mean...
[00:36:44] Because...
[00:36:45] I mean...
[00:36:46] They must go somewhere...
[00:36:47] To...
[00:36:47] To perform...
[00:36:49] You know...
[00:36:49] Whatever they do...
[00:36:50] I...
[00:36:51] I don't know...
[00:36:52] Tolkien never...
[00:36:53] Specifically mentions...
[00:36:55] An elf...
[00:36:56] Going to the bathroom...
[00:36:58] So...
[00:36:58] We don't know...
[00:37:00] Maybe they don't need to...
[00:37:01] Maybe they have...
[00:37:02] Thousands and thousands...
[00:37:03] Of years of...
[00:37:04] Accumulated...
[00:37:05] Leaves and meat...
[00:37:06] Or whatever...
[00:37:07] They eat...
[00:37:08] Inside their...
[00:37:10] Intestines...
[00:37:11] And maybe that's why...
[00:37:12] They move so...
[00:37:14] Rigidly...
[00:37:14] And...
[00:37:15] Without making...
[00:37:17] Big movements...
[00:37:18] If not necessary...
[00:37:20] Because whenever they do...
[00:37:21] They...
[00:37:22] You know...
[00:37:23] There's a little accident...
[00:37:25] I don't...
[00:37:27] I don't know...
[00:37:30] I just...
[00:37:31] I can't imagine a world...
[00:37:32] Where everyone...
[00:37:34] Lives all the time...
[00:37:36] And...
[00:37:38] I don't know...
[00:37:39] Do they...
[00:37:41] Like...
[00:37:42] Make babies?
[00:37:44] Are there...
[00:37:45] Elven babies?
[00:37:47] Because that's...
[00:37:48] Also a problem...
[00:37:49] Because they...
[00:37:50] They live in this...
[00:37:51] Small...
[00:37:52] Protected...
[00:37:55] Like...
[00:37:56] Paradise...
[00:37:57] And they don't have a lot of room...
[00:38:00] I guess...
[00:38:00] A lot of room...
[00:38:01] But not...
[00:38:02] Infinite amounts of room...
[00:38:04] And...
[00:38:05] At some point...
[00:38:07] It must be really crowded...
[00:38:11] And...
[00:38:12] What about youth culture and...
[00:38:16] You know...
[00:38:16] What about different cultures?
[00:38:20] At a certain point...
[00:38:22] When you get...
[00:38:22] To a certain number of people...
[00:38:25] Isn't it...
[00:38:27] Like...
[00:38:27] Very...
[00:38:31] Probable...
[00:38:32] That...
[00:38:33] Different...
[00:38:34] Parts of the Elven community...
[00:38:36] Will break out into smaller groups...
[00:38:38] And...
[00:38:39] Starting to...
[00:38:40] Dwell around their own...
[00:38:42] Culture thing...
[00:38:43] Which is information...
[00:38:45] By the way...
[00:38:45] A cultural thing is also information...
[00:38:51] And...
[00:38:52] Isn't that...
[00:38:55] Very probable...
[00:38:57] And...
[00:38:57] Why don't you ever see that?
[00:39:00] Well...
[00:39:00] Yeah...
[00:39:01] Actually...
[00:39:02] Tolkien actually tells about...
[00:39:04] That there is...
[00:39:05] Like...
[00:39:06] Another society of elves...
[00:39:08] That never...
[00:39:11] Traveled to this...
[00:39:15] What's the place?
[00:39:16] I don't remember...
[00:39:19] It's been ages...
[00:39:20] Since I read the books...
[00:39:21] By the way...
[00:39:21] And I still haven't read...
[00:39:23] The books you wrote...
[00:39:25] Silmarion...
[00:39:25] Silmarion...
[00:39:26] And...
[00:39:27] And the other books...
[00:39:28] More about the lore...
[00:39:34] Riverdale...
[00:39:36] Rivendale...
[00:39:37] Isn't that the name of the place?
[00:39:39] Rivendale?
[00:39:43] Well...
[00:39:44] Anyhow...
[00:39:47] I think that...
[00:39:50] In order to...
[00:39:53] You know...
[00:39:53] Approach...
[00:39:54] An average elf...
[00:39:56] At a time when the elf...
[00:39:58] Is like...
[00:39:59] Really stressed out...
[00:40:00] Because...
[00:40:01] There's something going on...
[00:40:03] At Mordor...
[00:40:04] Or something like that...
[00:40:06] That's like...
[00:40:07] Almost a 0% chance...
[00:40:11] Because most of the time...
[00:40:13] When encountering any elf...
[00:40:16] Is...
[00:40:17] You know...
[00:40:18] Well...
[00:40:19] It's life as usual...
[00:40:22] Imagine...
[00:40:24] Waking up a Monday morning...
[00:40:26] So I'm gonna use a classical...
[00:40:28] Human...
[00:40:29] Hating day...
[00:40:31] You know...
[00:40:31] Monday morning...
[00:40:33] You don't love your job...
[00:40:35] You work as a toilet cleaner in...
[00:40:39] Rivendale...
[00:40:40] And...
[00:40:41] No one ever gives you any attention...
[00:40:44] You know...
[00:40:44] It's always...
[00:40:46] This...
[00:40:47] Elrond here...
[00:40:48] And Galadriel there...
[00:40:49] And...
[00:40:50] The elven king said this and that...
[00:40:54] But...
[00:40:55] You still do your job...
[00:40:57] Because you're a proud member of the elven community...
[00:41:00] And...
[00:41:01] You know...
[00:41:02] You have your family and stuff...
[00:41:04] And...
[00:41:05] Let's consider that you're an elven woman...
[00:41:08] And...
[00:41:08] That you're...
[00:41:09] You're married...
[00:41:12] I don't know how elves marry...
[00:41:15] But...
[00:41:15] You're...
[00:41:16] You're...
[00:41:17] You're...
[00:41:17] You're vowed to this...
[00:41:19] Guy...
[00:41:20] And he's not much...
[00:41:21] You know...
[00:41:23] The elves...
[00:41:24] You're married to this...
[00:41:26] Guy...
[00:41:26] And he's called them...
[00:41:33] Bonkers...
[00:41:33] Well...
[00:41:34] For some reason...
[00:41:35] They named him...
[00:41:37] Bonkers...
[00:41:37] When he was born...
[00:41:39] All the other elves...
[00:41:40] Are called...
[00:41:41] Rallardnidur...
[00:41:42] And...
[00:41:43] Krallderedur...
[00:41:44] And...
[00:41:46] Bladradneryolf...
[00:41:47] And...
[00:41:48] SnicketnackerbrÄk...
[00:41:49] But this guy...
[00:41:51] His parents...
[00:41:52] You know...
[00:41:53] They got a stroke or something...
[00:41:54] Because they named him...
[00:41:56] Bonkers...
[00:41:56] And the elven priest was like...
[00:41:58] Are you sure?
[00:42:01] Yeah...
[00:42:01] I mean...
[00:42:02] Shouldn't you be...
[00:42:04] At least give him...
[00:42:05] A second name...
[00:42:06] That's more elf-like...
[00:42:07] Like...
[00:42:08] Nittrith...
[00:42:11] Nittrithlikirth...
[00:42:11] No...
[00:42:12] We don't...
[00:42:13] We want him to be named...
[00:42:15] Bonkers...
[00:42:15] But...
[00:42:16] I mean...
[00:42:17] May I ask why?
[00:42:19] No...
[00:42:19] You may not...
[00:42:21] Isn't it...
[00:42:22] R...
[00:42:22] And they...
[00:42:22] Of course...
[00:42:23] They talk in this high-mannered way...
[00:42:24] That elves always speak...
[00:42:26] Isn't it our own interest?
[00:42:29] Oh...
[00:42:29] Drown...
[00:42:30] Drowning...
[00:42:32] Priest...
[00:42:33] In an elvish...
[00:42:34] You call...
[00:42:35] Someone very...
[00:42:39] Highly...
[00:42:41] Revered...
[00:42:41] For...
[00:42:42] As...
[00:42:42] Refer to them as drowning...
[00:42:44] Because you're drowning in admiration...
[00:42:46] From the community...
[00:42:48] Oh...
[00:42:48] Highly dry...
[00:42:49] Drowning...
[00:42:50] Priest...
[00:42:51] Please let us name our child...
[00:42:53] In a...
[00:42:54] In a manner we...
[00:42:56] Choose...
[00:42:58] Please...
[00:42:59] Okay...
[00:43:00] So then...
[00:43:00] It became Bonkers...
[00:43:01] So you're married to Bonkers...
[00:43:03] And...
[00:43:04] Of course...
[00:43:04] He's...
[00:43:05] Really...
[00:43:06] He's weird...
[00:43:08] You know...
[00:43:10] There is no way around it...
[00:43:11] He's just weird...
[00:43:13] He thinks eggs are scary...
[00:43:16] He...
[00:43:16] Doesn't like swords...
[00:43:18] And...
[00:43:18] Of course...
[00:43:19] Any elf...
[00:43:20] Ask any elf...
[00:43:21] And...
[00:43:22] There is this...
[00:43:23] Magical sword...
[00:43:25] Somewhere...
[00:43:28] Isn't that a thing as well?
[00:43:30] I mean...
[00:43:30] I have drawn a few swords...
[00:43:33] Not just metaphorically...
[00:43:35] I have actually...
[00:43:37] Used swords...
[00:43:39] In...
[00:43:40] In...
[00:43:41] In a few...
[00:43:41] On a few occasions...
[00:43:42] In my career...
[00:43:43] As an actor...
[00:43:45] And...
[00:43:46] Whenever I...
[00:43:47] Drawn...
[00:43:48] A sword...
[00:43:49] You don't...
[00:43:50] Hear that distinctive...
[00:43:51] Clinging noise...
[00:43:53] Which...
[00:43:53] Always seem to be present...
[00:43:55] When drawing a sword...
[00:43:56] In a fantasy...
[00:43:57] Story on...
[00:43:59] Any television show...
[00:44:00] Or movie...
[00:44:01] There's this...
[00:44:03] Swing...
[00:44:04] Sound...
[00:44:05] And when you...
[00:44:07] Strike it...
[00:44:09] When you swing it through air...
[00:44:11] It sounds the same...
[00:44:13] Like this...
[00:44:14] Metallic...
[00:44:15] Clinging sound...
[00:44:16] That...
[00:44:17] Tells the story about nobility...
[00:44:19] And magic...
[00:44:20] And...
[00:44:21] Justice...
[00:44:22] You know...
[00:44:23] And if this sword is evil...
[00:44:26] For some reason...
[00:44:26] Because...
[00:44:27] Swords can be either good...
[00:44:28] Or evil...
[00:44:29] Then...
[00:44:30] The sound is...
[00:44:31] Sharper...
[00:44:32] And...
[00:44:33] Maybe accompanied by...
[00:44:35] This dark...
[00:44:39] Bass...
[00:44:40] Sound...
[00:44:40] Low frequent...
[00:44:41] Roaring...
[00:44:44] I've never heard that...
[00:44:46] I have never...
[00:44:47] Heard any piece of metal...
[00:44:49] Sound like that...
[00:44:51] Imagine picking up...
[00:44:53] You know...
[00:44:53] Kitchen knives...
[00:44:55] Or...
[00:44:55] When you're going to...
[00:44:57] Have supper with your family...
[00:44:58] And you just...
[00:44:59] Pick up a kitchen knife...
[00:45:00] To set the table...
[00:45:02] And you hear this...
[00:45:03] Swing...
[00:45:04] Whenever you pick up the...
[00:45:06] The knife...
[00:45:08] The aluminium...
[00:45:13] Corrosion...
[00:45:13] Free knife...
[00:45:17] Yeah...
[00:45:18] Well...
[00:45:19] So...
[00:45:20] Bonkers...
[00:45:21] The elf...
[00:45:22] Doesn't like swords...
[00:45:24] And...
[00:45:25] He doesn't like eggs...
[00:45:27] And...
[00:45:27] Of course...
[00:45:28] That's not a huge problem...
[00:45:29] I mean...
[00:45:30] There are other elves...
[00:45:31] That don't like eggs...
[00:45:32] But...
[00:45:33] Bonkers is...
[00:45:34] He goes one extra mile...
[00:45:36] In the egg-hating thing...
[00:45:37] He...
[00:45:38] Fears them...
[00:45:39] With a frenzy...
[00:45:40] That's not normal...
[00:45:42] You would say...
[00:45:43] We could say...
[00:45:44] It's...
[00:45:46] It's...
[00:45:47] He's weird...
[00:45:48] You know...
[00:45:49] And his pointy ears...
[00:45:51] Are not really pointy...
[00:45:52] Which makes him...
[00:45:53] Very different from other elves...
[00:45:54] With...
[00:45:55] The biggest...
[00:45:57] Common...
[00:45:58] Thing that elves share...
[00:46:00] Is...
[00:46:00] Their pointy ears...
[00:46:02] And I guess...
[00:46:03] Who came up with this...
[00:46:06] Pointy ear stuff...
[00:46:07] He can't...
[00:46:10] He couldn't have been Tolkien himself...
[00:46:12] That must have some...
[00:46:13] Reference in...
[00:46:16] Like...
[00:46:16] Ancient tradition...
[00:46:18] Or something...
[00:46:19] And I guess it has to do with...
[00:46:21] You know...
[00:46:22] Wild cats and stuff...
[00:46:24] That is...
[00:46:25] Has some...
[00:46:25] Something to do with...
[00:46:27] Wilderness and nature...
[00:46:29] And the animal kingdom...
[00:46:31] But it's weird...
[00:46:32] That...
[00:46:33] That is the common nominator...
[00:46:35] For all...
[00:46:37] Within the elven kind...
[00:46:38] And also with these...
[00:46:39] Tiaras and stuff...
[00:46:41] That they are wearing...
[00:46:42] Headbands...
[00:46:43] Metallic...
[00:46:44] Tiaras and crowns...
[00:46:46] And...
[00:46:47] Headbands...
[00:46:50] Imagine waking up...
[00:46:52] Every day...
[00:46:53] And having...
[00:46:54] To put on...
[00:46:55] This...
[00:46:56] Metallic...
[00:46:59] Unforgiving...
[00:47:00] Headband...
[00:47:02] That...
[00:47:02] That...
[00:47:02] Your father's...
[00:47:03] Father's...
[00:47:04] Father's...
[00:47:04] Father...
[00:47:05] Carried...
[00:47:06] On the travel from...
[00:47:07] Nurt...
[00:47:08] Nurt...
[00:47:08] Nurt...
[00:47:08] And you need to carry that for an eternity...
[00:47:11] You can't just...
[00:47:12] Oh...
[00:47:13] I think I'm gonna go without it...
[00:47:14] For one day...
[00:47:15] No...
[00:47:16] Because that wouldn't be representative...
[00:47:18] Would it?
[00:47:18] Then you would...
[00:47:19] Would be a shame...
[00:47:20] To your ancestors...
[00:47:21] Ancestors...
[00:47:22] You need to go out...
[00:47:24] Into the...
[00:47:25] Community...
[00:47:26] Where everyone knows you...
[00:47:27] By the way...
[00:47:27] So you don't have to prove anything...
[00:47:29] Everyone knows you...
[00:47:31] Because you're living in this small valley...
[00:47:34] And...
[00:47:34] You've known everyone...
[00:47:36] For thousands of years...
[00:47:38] And...
[00:47:38] They know...
[00:47:39] That your father's father's father...
[00:47:42] Was...
[00:47:42] Grinkthartrurthnertr...
[00:47:44] Who crossed the...
[00:47:45] Bardrithartrurth...
[00:47:46] They know this...
[00:47:48] You don't have to prove it...
[00:47:49] Like...
[00:47:49] Every day...
[00:47:52] Imagine...
[00:47:53] Walking out...
[00:47:54] Your front door...
[00:47:55] And meeting your neighbor...
[00:47:57] And he has his...
[00:47:59] Uh...
[00:47:59] Like...
[00:48:01] His...
[00:48:02] Uh...
[00:48:03] High school...
[00:48:04] Graduation...
[00:48:05] Hat on...
[00:48:06] Just to prove to you...
[00:48:08] That he graduated high school...
[00:48:12] And...
[00:48:13] And you know this...
[00:48:14] Because he's told you...
[00:48:16] And...
[00:48:17] Your parents...
[00:48:18] And his parents...
[00:48:19] Have told each other...
[00:48:20] And you...
[00:48:20] And...
[00:48:21] And you have told him...
[00:48:22] And...
[00:48:23] You keep telling him...
[00:48:24] You know...
[00:48:25] But still...
[00:48:26] You see that...
[00:48:27] Stupid hat...
[00:48:28] And every time...
[00:48:29] He goes out...
[00:48:29] On the front yard...
[00:48:31] He throws it up...
[00:48:32] Into the air...
[00:48:33] And there was like...
[00:48:33] 900 years ago...
[00:48:35] He graduated from high school...
[00:48:36] But he still has to prove it to you...
[00:48:38] Because that's just how you do...
[00:48:42] And Bonkers is just...
[00:48:44] He doesn't...
[00:48:46] Go well with other elves...
[00:48:48] He's really more into dwarves...
[00:48:51] But since there are no...
[00:48:52] You know...
[00:48:54] There's not a social hotspot...
[00:48:56] For dwarves and elves to hang out...
[00:48:58] I mean...
[00:48:58] When...
[00:48:59] Legolas and Gimli...
[00:49:00] Met in the Lord of the Rings...
[00:49:03] Trilogy...
[00:49:05] That was a very...
[00:49:06] Uncommon thing...
[00:49:10] So...
[00:49:11] This is...
[00:49:12] You know...
[00:49:13] You...
[00:49:15] You...
[00:49:16] You don't see that every day...
[00:49:17] It's frowned upon...
[00:49:19] So to speak...
[00:49:20] Dwarves and elves...
[00:49:21] Don't generally go well together...
[00:49:23] But...
[00:49:24] Bonkers really love...
[00:49:25] Dwarves...
[00:49:26] But he's never met...
[00:49:27] A dwarves...
[00:49:28] So he idolized...
[00:49:30] Them...
[00:49:30] Without even...
[00:49:32] Having met one...
[00:49:36] And...
[00:49:36] But you're married to him...
[00:49:38] You know...
[00:49:38] You can't just...
[00:49:39] You need to...
[00:49:41] Because it...
[00:49:42] There's no such thing as separation...
[00:49:44] And divorce...
[00:49:45] In the elven community...
[00:49:46] You just live...
[00:49:48] You know...
[00:49:48] With this...
[00:49:49] Weird douchebag...
[00:49:51] For thousands and thousands of years...
[00:49:52] With no end in sight...
[00:49:54] You know...
[00:49:54] Because you're gonna live forever...
[00:49:56] And...
[00:49:56] Even at the end of times...
[00:49:58] You get to go to the lands...
[00:50:00] Beyond the sea...
[00:50:01] You know...
[00:50:02] Where people just live in paradise forever...
[00:50:05] And guess who's coming with you to this...
[00:50:07] To this paradise country...
[00:50:09] Yeah...
[00:50:10] Bonkers...
[00:50:11] You know...
[00:50:12] He smells awful...
[00:50:13] He eats these herbs...
[00:50:15] You know...
[00:50:15] That really makes his breath stink...
[00:50:18] And you can't find the courage...
[00:50:20] And...
[00:50:20] Or you don't have the heart to tell him...
[00:50:22] Because he's also...
[00:50:24] Really easily hurt...
[00:50:26] You know...
[00:50:27] Overly...
[00:50:28] Easily hurt...
[00:50:29] So...
[00:50:30] If you don't answer him...
[00:50:31] In a very vivid and...
[00:50:33] Happy manner every morning...
[00:50:35] When he says good morning...
[00:50:36] And he has this lisp...
[00:50:39] So he lisps...
[00:50:40] And he says...
[00:50:41] Good morning wife...
[00:50:43] And he talks like this...
[00:50:45] Good morning wife...
[00:50:47] He says...
[00:50:48] Like...
[00:50:49] It's not...
[00:50:49] It's just that...
[00:50:50] It's not...
[00:50:51] It doesn't have anything to do with his vocalization skills...
[00:50:54] It's just that he's...
[00:50:56] You know...
[00:50:57] He doesn't have the...
[00:50:59] Energy to really speak...
[00:51:02] Clearly...
[00:51:03] And so you just get this...
[00:51:05] Wave of irritation...
[00:51:07] But if you don't...
[00:51:09] Answer him like...
[00:51:10] Really very happily...
[00:51:12] He gets really hurt...
[00:51:14] And then he disappears for a month...
[00:51:16] And everyone knows where he is...
[00:51:19] He sits at this...
[00:51:21] Peak...
[00:51:23] At your border...
[00:51:24] At the border of...
[00:51:26] Rivendale...
[00:51:27] And just...
[00:51:29] Watches...
[00:51:30] Over to the dwarves...
[00:51:32] Where he imagined the dwarves are...
[00:51:34] But he doesn't know...
[00:51:35] You know...
[00:51:36] And he eats those herbs...
[00:51:37] And he smells even weirder...
[00:51:39] When he comes back...
[00:51:40] So you just fake it...
[00:51:41] You know...
[00:51:42] Good morning...
[00:51:44] Bunkers...
[00:51:44] And...
[00:51:45] Your neighbor...
[00:51:46] Of course...
[00:51:47] He's a single man...
[00:51:49] And his name is...
[00:51:50] Githril Trindrikir...
[00:51:52] And he takes good care of himself...
[00:51:55] I can tell you that...
[00:51:56] And he doesn't eat those herbs...
[00:51:58] Or whenever he does...
[00:52:00] He eats this...
[00:52:01] Mint herb afterwards...
[00:52:03] That his breath...
[00:52:05] Is just...
[00:52:06] Minty...
[00:52:07] And fresh...
[00:52:08] And he...
[00:52:09] Has this...
[00:52:10] Outdoor...
[00:52:11] Elfin swimming pool...
[00:52:13] With a lot of...
[00:52:13] Elaborate golden details on it...
[00:52:15] And he just swims around there...
[00:52:17] With...
[00:52:18] His...
[00:52:19] His chest bare...
[00:52:21] And...
[00:52:21] You look at him...
[00:52:22] And you think...
[00:52:23] That could have been...
[00:52:24] My life...
[00:52:26] You know...
[00:52:27] And then...
[00:52:28] Bonkers...
[00:52:29] Says like...
[00:52:30] What are you looking at?
[00:52:32] And you...
[00:52:34] And you say...
[00:52:35] Nothing honey...
[00:52:36] Nothing...
[00:52:37] You know...
[00:52:38] I'm sorry...
[00:52:42] I'm so sorry...
[00:52:47] Yeah...
[00:52:47] So...
[00:52:47] But this...
[00:52:49] Is...
[00:52:49] These are stories...
[00:52:50] Never told...
[00:52:51] In the books by Tolkien...
[00:52:53] So I guess it's up to you...
[00:52:54] And me sleepy...
[00:52:55] To write them...
[00:52:56] And I think I've laid a good foundation...
[00:52:58] For you to continue...
[00:52:59] This work...
[00:53:01] I mean...
[00:53:02] For instance...
[00:53:03] Why...
[00:53:03] Are there no...
[00:53:05] Recollections of...
[00:53:06] Elves...
[00:53:07] Brushing their teeth...
[00:53:09] As far as I'm concerned...
[00:53:12] As far as I'm concerned...
[00:53:15] The...
[00:53:15] The...
[00:53:16] Brotherhood of the ring...
[00:53:18] No one of them...
[00:53:21] Ever...
[00:53:22] Washes themselves...
[00:53:23] Or brushes their teeth...
[00:53:25] Ever...
[00:53:27] I mean...
[00:53:28] Imagine the stench...
[00:53:30] Of these people...
[00:53:31] You know...
[00:53:32] This old...
[00:53:33] Wizard...
[00:53:34] You know...
[00:53:35] Who haven't...
[00:53:37] Washed his clothes...
[00:53:38] Like for...
[00:53:39] Hundreds of years...
[00:53:40] Gandalf is not...
[00:53:42] A man...
[00:53:43] By the way...
[00:53:44] He's this...
[00:53:45] Divine...
[00:53:46] Entity...
[00:53:47] Created...
[00:53:48] By Valor...
[00:53:51] And...
[00:53:52] And...
[00:53:53] Or is it...
[00:53:54] I don't know...
[00:53:55] He's created by this deity...
[00:53:57] Anyway...
[00:53:58] To put everything in...
[00:53:59] The right place...
[00:54:01] But he can't...
[00:54:02] He can't do it...
[00:54:04] Like...
[00:54:05] Hands on...
[00:54:06] He must...
[00:54:07] You know...
[00:54:10] Move around the outskirts...
[00:54:12] Imagine the frustration...
[00:54:14] You've been put on earth...
[00:54:15] To defeat Sauron...
[00:54:17] That's...
[00:54:17] Your main purpose...
[00:54:20] But...
[00:54:20] Then...
[00:54:21] When...
[00:54:21] Oh...
[00:54:22] Okay...
[00:54:22] So I'm giving this...
[00:54:23] Awesome powers...
[00:54:25] Yeah...
[00:54:26] Yeah...
[00:54:26] You...
[00:54:27] Here...
[00:54:27] Here you are...
[00:54:28] You can do anything...
[00:54:29] With your mind...
[00:54:30] And your staff...
[00:54:31] Now...
[00:54:31] Your mission is to...
[00:54:33] Put an end to this...
[00:54:36] Bodyless...
[00:54:37] Wizard...
[00:54:37] Evil wizard...
[00:54:38] He doesn't have a body...
[00:54:39] Because he's weakened...
[00:54:41] Oh...
[00:54:42] Great...
[00:54:42] So that'll be an easy job...
[00:54:44] I just walk up to him...
[00:54:45] Or whenever...
[00:54:46] Wherever he's manifested...
[00:54:48] And I just point the staff at him...
[00:54:49] And I say...
[00:54:50] Kazam...
[00:54:51] And then he...
[00:54:52] He vanishes...
[00:54:53] Right?
[00:54:54] Yeah...
[00:54:54] You would think that...
[00:54:55] But no...
[00:54:56] You need to...
[00:54:57] Make him...
[00:55:00] You need to make him vanish...
[00:55:02] Through...
[00:55:03] Influencing others...
[00:55:05] To do the job for you...
[00:55:08] But why?
[00:55:10] I don't really know...
[00:55:11] I just feel like...
[00:55:13] It would be too easy...
[00:55:15] If you just...
[00:55:16] If you just walk up...
[00:55:18] To him...
[00:55:18] And say...
[00:55:19] Kazam...
[00:55:19] You know...
[00:55:20] It wouldn't be that epic...
[00:55:23] No...
[00:55:23] But...
[00:55:23] Epic...
[00:55:24] Or not...
[00:55:24] This...
[00:55:25] I mean...
[00:55:26] This...
[00:55:27] Way of...
[00:55:27] Of...
[00:55:28] Of...
[00:55:28] Dealing with him...
[00:55:29] Creates all sort of dangerous...
[00:55:32] Possibilities...
[00:55:33] I mean...
[00:55:33] The hobbits...
[00:55:34] I mean...
[00:55:34] Why choose a hobbit?
[00:55:36] It's a...
[00:55:37] It's a small...
[00:55:38] Being with...
[00:55:40] No interest in mind...
[00:55:42] Uh...
[00:55:42] Considering adventure...
[00:55:45] You know...
[00:55:46] He...
[00:55:47] He...
[00:55:47] He's not...
[00:55:48] Suit...
[00:55:48] Suited for the job...
[00:55:51] Yes...
[00:55:51] I know...
[00:55:52] But...
[00:55:52] This is what...
[00:55:53] Why it makes...
[00:55:54] That...
[00:55:54] This is why it gets exciting...
[00:55:56] You know...
[00:55:57] No...
[00:55:58] But this...
[00:55:58] I mean...
[00:55:59] These are people's lives...
[00:56:01] Dear Lord...
[00:56:02] We can't just...
[00:56:03] We can't just go in there...
[00:56:05] And do it for your entertainment...
[00:56:07] Can you...
[00:56:07] Can I just please kill more...
[00:56:09] Sauron...
[00:56:11] With my staff...
[00:56:12] Myself...
[00:56:13] No...
[00:56:14] No...
[00:56:14] No...
[00:56:15] You can't...
[00:56:16] Okay...
[00:56:17] But...
[00:56:17] For instance...
[00:56:18] Say this...
[00:56:19] Hypothetical example...
[00:56:21] If there's...
[00:56:21] If there's this...
[00:56:23] Balrog...
[00:56:23] This ancient fire demon...
[00:56:25] Coming up from the depths...
[00:56:27] Can I defend myself...
[00:56:28] Then?
[00:56:29] No...
[00:56:30] No...
[00:56:30] You can't really...
[00:56:31] You need to dwell with him for...
[00:56:33] An eternity...
[00:56:34] And then...
[00:56:35] Come back to me...
[00:56:36] And then we'll discuss it...
[00:56:38] Further...
[00:56:39] I mean...
[00:56:40] Imagine the frustration of...
[00:56:42] Then coming down to Middle Earth...
[00:56:44] And just...
[00:56:45] Okay...
[00:56:45] So I need to start this...
[00:56:46] Okay...
[00:56:47] So let's find a hobbit...
[00:56:49] Okay...
[00:56:49] So now...
[00:56:50] Okay...
[00:56:51] So I need to...
[00:56:51] Befriend this...
[00:56:53] Hobbit...
[00:56:54] And I need to make him my friend...
[00:56:56] Like...
[00:56:57] A long-term friend...
[00:56:58] So I need to get to know him...
[00:57:00] And be his friend for...
[00:57:02] Years...
[00:57:03] Before I give him the mission...
[00:57:05] And then...
[00:57:06] When the time is right...
[00:57:07] I need to convince him...
[00:57:08] To go on this...
[00:57:11] Epic...
[00:57:11] Journey...
[00:57:12] He's never even been outside...
[00:57:13] Of his own village...
[00:57:15] And he's...
[00:57:17] He...
[00:57:17] He doesn't like adventure...
[00:57:19] And he...
[00:57:19] He enjoys food...
[00:57:21] And...
[00:57:22] Sleep...
[00:57:23] And he's barefoot...
[00:57:25] I mean...
[00:57:26] Just that...
[00:57:27] He...
[00:57:28] He's not...
[00:57:29] Suited for...
[00:57:31] These...
[00:57:32] These types of adventure...
[00:57:34] Okay...
[00:57:35] So imagine the first day...
[00:57:36] At Gandalf's...
[00:57:38] Job...
[00:57:38] You know...
[00:57:39] Because he has a mission...
[00:57:41] It's not like he's there...
[00:57:43] For his own...
[00:57:44] You know...
[00:57:45] Enjoyment...
[00:57:46] He's like this...
[00:57:48] Divine...
[00:57:49] Creature...
[00:57:50] Created for this...
[00:57:51] Very sole purpose of...
[00:57:53] Influencing the world...
[00:57:54] For good...
[00:57:55] But he can't...
[00:57:57] You know...
[00:57:58] Do it hands on...
[00:57:59] He must...
[00:58:00] Whisper in people's...
[00:58:01] Ears...
[00:58:02] And guide them...
[00:58:05] Imagine...
[00:58:06] The first day...
[00:58:07] He wakes up...
[00:58:08] He has like...
[00:58:10] This...
[00:58:12] Small...
[00:58:12] Lembas bread...
[00:58:13] For breakfast...
[00:58:14] And then...
[00:58:15] He's just...
[00:58:16] Okay...
[00:58:17] So...
[00:58:18] Here's 25 years...
[00:58:20] Of my life...
[00:58:21] I need to...
[00:58:22] You know...
[00:58:25] And imagine the smell...
[00:58:27] Because...
[00:58:28] As...
[00:58:28] As I say...
[00:58:29] There are no recollections...
[00:58:30] Of any of the people...
[00:58:31] In the...
[00:58:32] Brotherhood of the ring...
[00:58:35] Ever...
[00:58:36] Cleansing themselves...
[00:58:38] In any manner...
[00:58:39] Like for instance...
[00:58:41] Brushing their teeth...
[00:58:42] Which is really...
[00:58:43] Washing their skeletons...
[00:58:46] Have you ever...
[00:58:47] Considered that...
[00:58:48] Sleepy by the way...
[00:58:50] That when you brush your teeth...
[00:58:52] That's the only instance...
[00:58:54] In your life...
[00:58:54] Where you're actually...
[00:58:56] Washing your skeleton...
[00:58:58] Because that's the only...
[00:59:00] Part of your skeleton...
[00:59:02] Even though...
[00:59:03] Technically...
[00:59:03] Teeth are...
[00:59:05] Attachable...
[00:59:06] Stuff...
[00:59:07] That goes with the skeleton...
[00:59:08] But...
[00:59:09] If you just...
[00:59:11] Never mind that...
[00:59:13] The only time...
[00:59:14] And the only place...
[00:59:15] Of your skeleton...
[00:59:16] Where you can reach...
[00:59:17] To wash it...
[00:59:18] And to clean it...
[00:59:19] Are your teeth...
[00:59:25] Imagine the dirt...
[00:59:28] Accumulated...
[00:59:28] On the rest of your skeleton...
[00:59:31] And imagine the dirt...
[00:59:33] Of...
[00:59:34] The accumulated...
[00:59:37] Imagine the accumulated dirt...
[00:59:39] On the skeletons...
[00:59:41] On the skeletons...
[00:59:41] Of elves...
[00:59:42] You know...
[00:59:45] Timeless...
[00:59:47] Eternal elves...
[00:59:52] So I promised...
[00:59:53] Early on...
[00:59:54] In this episode...
[00:59:55] That...
[00:59:56] I was going to...
[00:59:58] Present...
[00:59:59] You with a...
[01:00:00] With information...
[01:00:02] That is...
[01:00:02] Untrue...
[01:00:04] And...
[01:00:05] Made up...
[01:00:07] Without being fake...
[01:00:09] Without being fake...
[01:00:10] And...
[01:00:10] Now we've reached the point...
[01:00:12] Where I'm going to do it...
[01:00:13] And some of you...
[01:00:14] Sleepies are...
[01:00:16] Still awake...
[01:00:17] And I congratulate you...
[01:00:19] Because...
[01:00:19] This...
[01:00:20] Is an epic moment...
[01:00:22] Never mind the...
[01:00:23] Elven everyday...
[01:00:26] According to Tolkien...
[01:00:29] This...
[01:00:30] Is an epic...
[01:00:31] Moment...
[01:00:31] Epic deluxe...
[01:00:34] So...
[01:00:35] The made up...
[01:00:36] Type of information...
[01:00:37] That I'm going to tell you is...
[01:00:40] That blue buttons...
[01:00:42] Never fall to the floor...
[01:00:45] When loosened...
[01:00:46] From a green coat...
[01:00:48] They rise to the sky...
[01:00:51] And they stay there...
[01:00:53] And become stars...
[01:00:54] And become stars...
