Gimli does not speak Elvish, he speaks Khuzdul. It's the language of the Dwarves.
And it's also supposed to be impressive that Aragorn understood him, because the Dwarves are very protective of their language, both spoken and written.
Ish khakfe ai-d dur-rugnu! One of my favorite lines from the movie and I loved when they brought it back in The Hobbit
Presumably Legolas had the privilege of hearing and learning Khuzdul after the Quest. Gimli loved and trusted him above any other being, so he certainly would have shared at least his secret Khuzdul name with Legolas.

An assumption I think is safe to make, yes
I love how the quiz always goes off the rails but Bill and Dom manage to keep it going
One contestant always gets the easier questions for some reason. Miranda had absurdly more difficult questions than Sarah. I’m glad it didn’t really matter and they still got to ask their questions.
Right?
"He was twitching cause he's got my axe EMBEDDED IN HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM!" hahaha

Thank you. :)
Doing Illuvitar's work!
The question about Gandalfs name should have been rephrased. "What was the name Tolkien originally gave Gandalf". Miranda was right with Olorin in the books.
Truth
Yes! I would have loved for it to be rephrased. It really threw me off right at the start of the quiz. (That’s me ^)
The only reference to Bladorthin that I recall was in The Hobbit, in reference to Smaug's hoard, which contained a dwarven-made set of matching spears that had been made for King Bladorthin.
I can't remember where I read it but I thought it originally meant Grand Elf
@@bensanders4033 I thought it was 'wand elf'
So fun to see this one released! Thank you soo much again Billy, Dom, and John for having me on this extra difficult quiz!! I felt totally stumped at times, but had so much fun.
P.s. I ate some papaya salad in your honor today, one of my favorites. -Miranda
Great job! I consider myself pretty well-versed in Tolkien's works and I found the questions that you were given to be quite difficult.
You did great Miranda! Definitely not your average questions for LOTR, very impressive!
I just want to echo what a lot of people in the comments are saying... you were given more difficult questions and you were such a great sport and did very well! But Sara did very well too.
@@danielredfearn7318 Thank you for saying so! I really appreciate all the support in this comment thread. They were difficult! and Sara did a great job
I wouldn't have answered any correctly and I consider myself a huge fan! You were up against it, but did great.
About the quiz: I actually thought it might be Aragorn, because “Strider” isn’t too far off from “Trotter”!
Also, he wanders around the edges of the shire... The story was written Shire first, so i figured Trotter and whoever was the rightful king at the time in Tolkien's brain got combined at some point to reduce the number of characters.
As a huge Tolkien nerd, watching them deeply fuck up the lore in the quiz questions every single episode is agony!
Still love the show though.
I LOVE that answer for 'What does it feel like to be scottish'...coz it's exactly right! And Billy's shirt is awesome!
To be fair, in my travels, i have noticed that there are many tribes that feel special. Not just the Scotts.
Most people, connect with a group and think it is special.
Perfect timing. Had a bad day today and really need this. You always manage to cheer me up a bit. Thank you.
Miranda's questions were ridiculously difficult!!!
They were so obscure! I really thought I was prepared but I was caught off guard by some of them.
And inaccurate.
I’m sorry but you guys asking fans for questions to ask each other and then getting to it only to find they’ve expired, and then Dom asking “how many have you got?” is the most Merry and Pippin energy thing I’ve ever seen from you both 😂😂😂😂
Regular onions are good for the body. The Friendship Onion is good for the spirits. Regular onions make you cry from their chemicals. The Friendship Onion makes you cry with laughter! Thank you guys SOOOO much for always making my week - and also, thanks to Jack and Dom for getting me hooked on Takis! - Love from Bernadette in New Hampshire ❤
You guys have made Tuesday unbeatable.
or Wednesday. I wish it would come out on YT as early as on Spotify I always have to avoid IG a bit on Tuesdays cuz of spoilers
John never fails to disappoint.
Cleaning my room, working out or if I just want to relax. This show is great for all three and it makes me laugh every-time. Billy and Dom are such an awesome combo!
This is just what I needed today.
☝️Aye
I love this time of day! In bed, breakfast, coffee. Video podcast. Then 2nd breakfast at the end.
Gondolin is not Gondor. Gondolin is the hidden city of Turgon in the first age. Very hard questions though.
Honestly, I would have sworn one of the gates was of pearl...I remember trying to envision that one specifically.
Was searching for this comment so I wouldn't have to write it lol, good job
Tuesday is now officially my favorite day of the week because of these guys.
You feckers just made my day laddies!
Gimli definitely won the friendly comp between Legolas 😂 he literally says the twitching was down to the fact his axe… was implanted in his nervous system, which is actually a phenomenon that does happen , the jitters in the nerves after death & even hours after death.
We’ve all seen the weird videos of headless frogs bodies jumping around in prep for cooking , or severed & skinned snakes still flailing around like 20 minutes after death…. I think Gimli was speaking literal fact when he said what he said , not just trying to win , the body was still fresh.. and the nerves would definitely of been acting up if we’re going to be in a realistic tandem with science/biology.
However , I think both Gimli & Legolas are of a legendary combat status & in all ways of life & that’s why they click together so well & so quick.
The IG questions should still be there if you go to your archive and tap “stories archive”! Hope that’s helpful!
It was Olorin. She was right.
The Grey, The White, Olórin, Mithrandir, Incánus, Tharkûn, The White Rider, Greyhame, Stormcrow, Old Grey Beard, Big Grey Beard, The White Pilgrim, Láthspell.
Update*
Bladorthin was a King of Men in the Northeast sometime during the late Third Age. His realm was probably close in proximity to Lonely Mountain, because in The Hobbit Thorin and Balin remember and wonder if Bladorthin's order is still intact.
In the early drafts of The Hobbit, Bladorthin was the name of Gandalf (who would later be assigned the colour "grey" in The Lord of the Rings). A connection can still be seen with the element -thin with the probable meaning "grey
I was literally itching/cleaning my ears when I started this. What a time to be alive
thats hilarious
But did you use your elbow?
These quizzes are wild i feel like the questions are either wildly complicated lore or very easy hahaha! Need to find a middle ground 😂😂 it's fun though I enjoy learning the new stuff
John once again with the questions. Sheesh. I'm only one deep. The answer should have been Olorin.
Gondolin is a beautiful story. Look it up. 😃
The pee story is one of the greatest stories ive ever heard hahaha I love it
I prefer ear. More socially acceptable than the nose and less risky than the eye. You can go to town on your ear.
The Argument sketch is also one of my favorites. No, it's not. Yes, it is. No, it's not.
You *don't* itch an itch, you *scratch* an itch.
This is the papaya ya crazy horse 😂😂😂
for your instagram story question sticker, if the timer runs out and the story disappears you can go into your archive (from your profile, its the little rounding arrow with the clock hands) u can select your story archive and check back on all the responses you got before it auto deleted
No show on the 16th? :(
This has to be one of the funniest episodes! Piss discussion, hilarious!!!
I'm addicted to The Quiz Song
Thanks, Billy! Thanks, Dom! 🧅
Love love love your show this week was awesome
Another fantastic episode. Tuesday have become a higlight of the week, whith this podcast. Just love it.
So glad I had this to listen to this evening. A much needed distraction
Read "The Return of the Shadow". It's an in-depth analysis of the early drafts of Lord of the Rings. Many changes were made every time Tolkien started over.
Reactions to correct answers may be my favorite part of the show.
Gondolin is an Elven city from the Sillmarillion. It was hidden in a circle of mountains and for many years Morgoth sought it. When he eventually found it he attacked it with great force, including dragons and Balrogs. It was whilst escaping from Gondolin that Glorfindel killed a Balrog and died himself.
Accidentally paused this episode at 11:44 and got perhaps the best Dom face of all time.
blahahahahahah thats great
As he's lifting his leg..
Look out! It's only another cracking episode of The Friendship Onion!
Calling back to a few episodes ago, I have purchased my copy of Silmarillion in case you guys decide to move forward with some sort of reading and discussion on future episodes!
Also love the trivia segments
Billy and Dom are so funny-laughing and crying about their pee stories!
Love you guys
I love this podcast so much and I always get sad when it ends 😭😂
Great show, great quiz!
I am so thankful for this podcast. My Lord.
A really good one - Always love the Trivias.
Billy? Dom? Where are you? Are you ok?
I knew September 29th 3021 instantly as soon as Dom asked the question!!! No idea how,no process of elimination, no knowledge (memory) of dates of birthdays, journeys etc in my head, I just somehow knew the answer! The old fan in me must be inside.. crazy how I knew. So impressed with myself
I also (answering within 1 second as I wanted to go on instinct) got Staff Elf, and of course Legolas's father (easy one)
I'm so worried for our hobbit boys!
Great quiz!
He was twitching...'cause he's GOT MA AXE..EMBEDDED IN HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM 🤣🤣 so i think we can give it to Gimli
My wife had a huge girl crush on you two in Lord of the Rings. I'm so happy to see you two together. We were all LOST without you two.
The questions went from too easy to too hard. 🤣
42 is pretty significant in Lost also. One of The Numbers.
Where's today's episode!?
ASMR is what those mastication channels are, granted there are a variety of sounds they make with other items. I only just learned that this Sunday, so it's funny you brought that up lol
FOR EAT THE WORLD They need to try Elfwiches!!!!!!!
The only reference to Bladorthin that I recall was in The Hobbit, in reference to Smaug's hoard, which contained a dwarven-made set of matching spears that had been made for King Bladorthin.
I assume he thought of the name Bladorthin for Gandalf at some point but once he changed it he saved the name and used it elsewhere in the lore.
@@misterhoads I do wish I could figure out what Bladorthin translates to. I had a 'Kinship' in the Lord of The Rings Online MMORPG called "The Spears of Bladorthin" featuring folks who liked to use spears. I eventually settled on a backstory of an elven kingdom in the Grey Mountains which had been long ago annihilated by one of the dragons known to dwell there. The members of the Kin were those who had by varying circumstance came to wield the dwarf-wrought spears.
@@jean-paulaudette9246
There's more than just Bladorthin being referenced there: "The spears made for the armies of the great King Bladorthin (long since dead), each had a thrice-forged head and their shafts were inlaid with cunning gold, but they were never delivered or paid for."
And the possible etymology I can find: it possibly combines the Sindarin words blador, meaning "wide plain", and thin, meaning "grey".
@@Richard_Nickerson AH! 'blador' good catch! I got the 'grey' bit. the other bit, I was stimied, tried to associate the only other time i'd seen 'blad,' from 'mablad' which was a S. name given to southron dwarves, meaning 'long-hand.'
And, uh, yeah, thanks for jumping on my inaccuracies, I did mention the king, and the long ago, and the spears, their makers, and their taker...Thanks for appending the vital details about the forging process and the decorative shafts.
@@jean-paulaudette9246
You're projecting quite a bit, I'm not being condescending or overly pedantic. You mentioned Bladorthin, you mentioned the name of the group you were in... did you create and lead this group yourself?
Can we expect The Extended Editions of the episodes just before christmas??😂😍
I can't believe Billy didn't take the opportunity to say, "It comes in pints?"
Minor quiz spoiler below.
A funny thing is they both shared a scene with the character of Cirdan at the end of the Return of the king.
Though he didn't have his famous beard.
Even these two talking about piss is delightful lol
Nice Mandrill t-shirt, Dom!
And if you do want to know what Gondolin is, you better start reading Silmarillion :)
Get Disturbed, the band, to do that quiz song for you. Waa-aaah-aah-ah.....
What/where does this Gandalf name come from... Miranda was right with Olórin
Apparently they meant what was his name in the rough draft/what was almost his name. Kind of misleading when he did have the name Olorin before Gandalf as well.
@@misterhoads ah, i guess that makes sense. I feel like the "what did tolkein right down as a draft 13 years before publishing" questions need to be weeded out by John lol
@@PylonsHockey I agree! That’s me trying to answer all the rough draft questions in the episode haha.
*me pausing the podcast to check doms dad 😂
Wow, never been this early before 😁 everyone have a fantastic day!
Are these evergreen episodes? Because Don is still away, I think, and they didn’t have any merch to send their quiz participants. And they definitely would have some now.
*DoM
Olorin was his Maiar name so would be his first name in Valinor, so no idea why that wasn't the answer
I guess whoever wrote that question meant what was Gandalf almost named, his name in the rough draft. It was a bit of a misleading question.
@@misterhoads Ah, what do you expect from John lol
I like the quiz being harder, everyone learns a bit
Shout out to that amazing Gallus Life shirt
It comes in pints?! 🚽
No, it GOES in pints...
@@jean-paulaudette9246 touché
Since you two legends have become immersed in league, I'd love to hear what you guys think about the Arcane series that premiered this week on Netflix (if you've seen it, otherwise you should definitely give it a go)
Petition to have @firstwefeast invite Billy and Dom for Hot Ones👍👍👍
There should be a disclaimer before every show: Do not drink your coffee or tea while listening! Unless, that is, you don't mind spit-takes...
Or clean your ears while listening.
Some questions are very hard and some very easy. Might try balancing them abit so its fair for both
During his wandering life in Germany, France, and Italy, Agrippa worked as a theologian, physician, legal expert, and soldier.[5] Agrippa was for some time in the service of Maximilian I, probably as a soldier in Italy, but devoted his time mainly to the study of the occult sciences and to problematic theological legal questions, which exposed him to various persecutions through life, usually in the mode described above: He would be privately denounced for one sort of heresy or another. He would only reply with venom considerably later (Nauert demonstrates this pattern effectively).
No evidence exists that Agrippa was seriously accused, much less persecuted, for his interest in or practice of magical or occult arts during his lifetime, although it was known he argued against the persecution of witches.[6] It is impossible, of course, to cite negatively, but Nauert, the best bio-bibliographical study to date, shows no indication of such persecution, and Van der Poel's careful examination of the various attacks suggest that they were founded on quite other theological grounds.
According to some scholarship: "As early as 1525 and again as late as 1533 (two years before his death) Agrippa clearly and unequivocally rejected magic in its totality, from its sources in imagined antiquity to contemporary practice." Some aspects remain unclear, but some believe this renunciation was sincere (not out of fear, as a parody, or otherwise).[7] Recent scholarship (see Further Reading below, in Lehrich, Nauert, and Van der Poel) generally agrees that this rejection or repudiation of magic is not what it seems: Agrippa never rejected magic in its totality, but he did retract his early manuscript of the Occult Philosophy - to be replaced by the later form.[8]
I always thought the counts were too low. Both Legolas and Gimli fought all night, so their kills would be at least in the hundreds.
yes! i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks that
I love how Billy and Dom think Gondor and Gondolin are the same thing.
Back on track. Last week's notification was an hour late.
I know! I freaked out, I thought something was wrong!
Where is the new episode?..
It’s coming out today 😃. Billy mentioned it on Twitter.
The Unicorn hair is definitely hormonal. I get the same with a chin mole.
No podcast this week 11-16-21?????
Yep. I'm Australian and want to be part of the Scottish club.
12:59 surprising that Billy didn't go for the obvious pun there
No they're favorite sport on LOTR was "Tig"
Dom, I think “Mr. Generous Head” could potentially be a misleading nickname…Or perhaps not?
The answer is actually 54.
The universe is fundamentally flawed.
If I could ask dom anything I think it would be how was his experience overall on Lost... I loved him in that show
42:37
I'm not sure of your pronunciation of the word "pronunciation"
If that T-shirt said "Gollum.Life" I'd buy one.
