Depends on the contacts. When I was younger I would often leave them in for even longer. They were the more breathable type in the end but I did it with standard ones too. Luckily I didn't damage my eyes permanently. My right one even got better by 1 diopter.

Today is one of those days, where instead of cat videos and sheep giving birth, you find a gem on YT you cant believe you didnt know about. This podcast is a feverdream and Im all here for it

'The Last Goodbye' is by far the best thing in the last HOBBIT movie. That song playing over the credits almost makes you think that you just saw a much better movie.

God Elijah is such a nice man. You can hear it in his voice. Just such a gentleman.

Hearing Billy talking about The Last Goodbye literally made me cry. I don’t even have to listen to the song anymore, to feel all these feelings.

Once Dom did a live stream on his Instagram, and I commented “you seem like you’d be such a good friend to have”. Dom read the comment and chuckled, saying “oh no I’m a terrible friend. Just ask Billy. Once he gave me a present and it was a slice of cake. And I picked it up and shoved it in his face”. (Something along those lines). So that of course just proved my point. Gosh I love their friendship so much 😂

Jesus loves you guys so much. God is with yall through all of your problems

Gimli was in fact the only character in Lotr that actively tried to destroy the Ring

Do not burn ticks to get them off, they'll vomit into you in their panic. Just grab them as close to the skin as you can with tweasers and apply steadily increasing pressure until they let go.

As a Dane, I beyond appreciate Elijah describing ryebread as a "Danish Taco" hahahaha What a treasure he is. Had no idea he was dating a Dane but it fits with the Lord of the Rings narrative as the geography of Tolkien's Middleearth is based on Jutland (Danish half-island) AND our queen illustrated the Lord of the Rings under a pseudonym. Tolkien didn't know it was our queen, he just said that her illustrations most perfectly captured the way he pictured his world. :) I agree. She's a magnificent artist

As a Dane, it took me a while to figure out that Elijah was saying 'smørrebrød'. also regarding to the usefulness, in Denmark, you always have rugbrød (the dark bread) so if you have almost nothing in your kitchen and pickled herring was one of them, you can have a piece of bread.

I've been waiting for this podcast for 20 years, I really hope you guys get more cast members on.

Seeing as you gents have already met him, i'm sure Men of the West would be elated to assemble the quiz questions for you in future, and if I recall he even offered such assistance to you during his interview with you. Thanks for the great show guys.

The "will you wear wigs?" bit at the end got me laughing so hard, that's a deep cut.

People joking that Elijah don't aged at all after Lotr, but everyone missing true immortal - Dom.

Elijah’s point about the body being miraculous is so true. This is random. But I broke my jaw in like 3 places in a car accident last year and they were gonna give me Percocet, and a couple other things for the pain. But I just was never in pain. Whatsoever. I felt fine. My mouth was sore after my surgery but my actual jaw never hurt.

Looks like "the pickled herring is particularly good"😊 Also sounds like Billy's 🐕 knows Dominic is his good friend. Dogs, the pack animals that they are, pick up on these things. Good show fellas!

Oh, pickled herring har been airline food! In the good old days, when you got a meal on European flights, SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System) always had a little plastic tub of pickled herring as part of the meal! It's great at night, when you come home from the movies/the theatre/a concert: a slice of rye bread, buttered or with duck's fat, boiled egg, and pickled herring..... YUM! Just loving these blogs.....

Would love Elijah to be a regular guest, he fits in so perfectly with the other two

Also Dom would have made a brilliant comedian!!! And I love the look of him when Billy choked on "the bastard child of pickled fish" joke hahahaha, like how he's amused by the way Billy was amused by him. You guys' humour, friendship, vibe and everything is a bless to this world.

Heavenly Creatures is an amazing film. It's like the antithesis to the concept of the soul mate: there may be someone out there that brings out the very worst in you. I loved the human drama and I had high hopes Peter Jackson would do a good job on LotR but I still went into Fellowship thinking, 'if this is bad I'm going on a rampage'.
