Summary

Spring surpassed Sam’s wildest hopes; Alan and Shawn are content just avoiding disappointment. Join The Man of the West and The Lord of the Mark as the hobbits let the good times roll while rebuilding the Shire in the first of three episodes on The Grey Havens. Lobelia Sackville-Baggins finds redemption and popularity; the Gaffer shouts random proverbs as he moves into his new digs; and it turns out that every grain is sacred, every grain is good. We speculate about Sandyman’s future, feel sorry for the kids of Shire Reckoning 1419, and unanimously declare Rosie Cotton the Shire MVP. Also, Alan buys a copy of Fredegar Bolger’s new book, The Lockholes Diet.

0:15.1	Good evening Little Masters and welcome to episode 38 of the Francing Pony podcast where the lockholes diet is proving to be quite
0:19.2	effective in Hobbit weight loss plans.
0:21.2	Yeah the problem with fad diets though is that they're just not
0:24.7	sustainable long term. Has old flower dumpling tried Ozempick yet? Not yet. They're
0:32.2	having trouble getting it in the shire right now. I bet they are that's true. Give it some time.
0:35.6	Well folks I'm Sean Marquesne, the Lord of the Mark, and I'm here with the man of the West who doesn't need any feeding up before he could look the part of
0:43.8	mayor Alan Sisto. I'm not sure though that I could beat the political machine
0:49.0	that is old Will Whitford. I mean clearly he's got like a Chicago turn to the century thing going on there.
0:53.5	I don't want to mess with that guy. People end up dead, I think. Well, not dead.
0:57.6	Hobbets haven't killed each other on purpose. Yeah, so they love that guy there. They really do. They sure do. Well folks, join us as the labor of
1:04.7	repair goes on a pace in the first of our three episodes on the Grey Havens, the final
1:10.9	chapter of the Lord of the Rings. I don't want to say that. I can't believe it's actually here.
1:15.2	I know. How did we get here? How is that possible?
1:20.5	I don't know. Well, no matter how you got here folks you are all welcome here in the common room
1:26.1	at the prancing pony podcast we are reading and talking our way through middle earth
1:30.7	with plenty of speculation and bad jokes along the way.
1:34.0	Clearly. Now we do love our deep dives into the lore, discussing our favorite themes and a whole
1:39.3	lot more. But we try to keep it light and fun, like a couple of friends chatting at the pub and we're glad you've joined us
1:46.5	And I'm sure you'll be glad you joined as well, but before we get to tonight's chapter discussion, it's time for a segment that we haven't had for a
1:53.5	little while it's time to take a look at some Kingley guests. Today we're
1:59.3	going to take a look at two different books or to be precise actually one book and one set of books.
2:04.4	Both of these are reissues or new editions and we want to clear up any questions about each of those.
