Good morning to you, Dustin.

Good morning, Matt. Are you ready to go on an adventure?

Am I ever ready for an adventure? Are you packed?

I don't know, really, but I'm just now finishing my second breakfast and I'm loading the ponies.

Well, one of the pants go on an adventure before a second breakfast.

Well, today we're going to review the Hobbit, which is something I've been looking forward to for ever so long.

Counting down days, my friend.

What are you, by the way? I'm a Hobbit.

I'm the crotchety older Hobbit.

No, no, we didn't agree on characters.

We didn't agree on characters. So today...

I just felt like there should be voices.

I know. Today is the day where we get to review the Hobbits, and we thought it would be fun to start here in the shire as we go on our quest.

So, what do you say? Let's do it.

It feels so warm and safe and cozy here.

Who knows what adventures await us beyond the borders of this friendly place?

I listened to the audiobook of the Hobbit because we do this audiobook thing where we recommend books to each other, and then we listen to them, and then we talk about them later.

Did you have a chance to do that?

Yeah, absolutely. So I've listened to the Hobbit one and a half times.

So I listened to the Rob Ingalls version. Which version did you listen to?

I listened to the Andy Circus version. He's the guy who voiced an acted column in the movies.

He was Ulysses Claw, the arms dealer from Wakanda or outside of Wakanda in the Marvel Universe.
