Chris was indisposed, so I've returned to spill some home truths about the world.

In this captivating exploration of Middle Earth, this truther delves into the hidden truths and conspiracies surrounding the Valar, Mount Doom, and the mysterious disappearance of the Entwives.

He presents a compelling argument that Mount Doom is not merely a volcano but a clean energy reactor, and that the Valar have a vested interest in keeping Middle Earth in a state of stagnation.

The discussion also touches on the enigmatic Nameless Things that consume history and knowledge, posing a dire warning about their influence on the world.

In this episode, we take 20 of the best singletons that middle-earth has to offer and try to find Becca a (fictional) date.

Join us for this critically acclaimed gameshow! (Nobody has ever acclaimed this, critically or otherwise).
