Summary

On today’s episode T-Bob and Chief join Big T and Arian to dive into the world of J.R.R. Tolkien. Known as the author of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, the guys talk about who Tolkien was, what inspired him, and how his love of languages, mythology, and faith shows up in the stories that he wrote. They unpack some of the big themes in his books — like power, friendship and loss. Plus, we get into philosophy, a baseball season update, the Mountain Dew Conspiracy theory, the recent viral golf course fight and much more. Enjoy!
