I'm a little nervous. I was about to say, what are you nervous? Yeah, I am actually. It's been a while. How you been?

I'm hanging in there. Had a kid. No, wait until you know that. You've been back since then. Yeah, you blew the kid pod.

That should have been like a three to six week post. It's been months now. Your kids in kindergarten. She's four months.

Right. She's walking around talking. I feel like you get at least six maybe a year. Are you guys teaching her Italian as well?

It's funny you say that. The last week we've been watching Italian videos for babies. That's pretty pretty Italian too.

Nice. When who's gonna pick it up first? The baby.

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of NerdSoup. I am Beau Oliver. Join you today with Aaron the NerdSoup. Mookie and Teddy.

And we are here to talk about the rings of power our spoiler discussion for the first two episodes that premiered on Friday.

And it's been an interesting reaction. I think for the most part, people seem to like it.

But there's obviously been that loud minority out there just complaining and screaming and belly aching about things that are just inconsequential.

It's such a shame that it takes over. It really is a shame.

Well, it's being revue bombed. So now those fan scores, they don't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things, but it's there.

It's part of now the legacy of the show where it's why is it a 34%? Well, it's like the last of us or it's like the last Jedi or Captain Marvel once again.

Just wash, rinse, repeat. But you know what, before we get into all the controversy, good episode.

I think me and Aaron mostly enjoyed it on our initial review, so I'm excited to get Ted's thoughts.

And of course, everybody listening, you know, if you're on YouTube, great, but you can also listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, all of the homes, wherever you get your podcasts.

And follow us on social media at NerdSoup, both Soup, NerdSoup, Mookie, Teddy, NerdSoup.

Yeah, I guess I'm trying to think. I'm going to say you're an Anthony JQ Nash.

I really almost did. Did you really? Yeah, I almost did the Anthony JQ Nash, because she has some.

Well, I'm gone too. No, no, no, come on.

How long do you think you've been out for? Murses once every two years, every two months. Yeah. I'll take that. You're not on her level.

Yeah, no, the Anthony JQ Nash rolls off the tongue. But like I mentioned, first two episodes, I want to get Teddy's thoughts, a shadow of the past and a drift.
