    Ugh! I tried. This old guy could use some instruction since he needs AI to help him form his thoughts. Or was he trying to be funny. He’s not. I suggest you listen to the brilliant women of House of R, Ringer Verse Podcast. They truly understand Tolkien and what this show does beautifully. Suggest you stop playing yourself. Trashy podcast.
