I mean, of course he was mistaken for Gandalf, right?

I mean, he's an old man walking around the Shire wearing a robe and, you know, he's wearing gray or whatever.

Um,

That's how the word got back to Gandalf, right?

Hey, we saw this old man in gray sneak around the Shire, but then we didn't heard from you.

Was that you?

Gandalf's like, no, but I know exactly who it is.

I know that there are people amongst our listeners who play a very dangerous drinking game when they listen to the show.

It actually apparently takes place during our live episode recordings, where when we do certain things, when I say something like,

sorry, Jordan, they ought to take a drink.

Or when I say, when we do some sort of digression or make a joke or whatever, I mean, it's dangerous.

Like it's, we don't recommend it.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

Good stuff.

After that, Sodom and went no more to the Shire, fearing that such tales might spread and come maybe to the ears of Gandalf.

But Gandalf knew of these visits and guessed their object.

And he laughed, thinking this the most harmless of Soderman's secrets.

But he said nothing to others, for it was never his wish that anyone should be put to shame.

Nonetheless, he was not ill-pleased when the visits of Saruman ceased, doubting him already, though he could not himself yet foresee, that a time would come when Saruman's knowledge of the Shire would prove perilous and of the greatest service to the enemy, bringing victory to within a nail's breadth of his grasp.
