1:09:15
Oh, low battery. 10% of the battery remaining.
There is but 10% of this interview because of the battery.
And then, in the next few coming months, when anything shocking need to occur, him and Viggo were on set getting naked, rubbing on each other, grabbing each other's stuff.
A little bromance.
I want to tell you one of my favourite stories, when we were filming Fellowship of the Ring. The sequence where, uh, Merry and Pippin come across Frodo and Sam in Farmer Maggot's field, and then they run and they fall down the hill. When they fall down the hill and eventually land, which is A Shortcut to Mushrooms, I think that, I think-
*laughs loud*
the order was like Billy, Sean, Me, Elijah? Something like that?
Like, yeah.
Elijah was definitely last, and as Elijah hit the ground on top of us with a significant amount of force, he let out a noxious gas.
*gasp*
He did! And it was loud!
It was very loud! We all continued on in the scene, but it was loud, and -
We didn't know each other that well and so we thought, well this is-
And he's a big movie star so-
I mean, this is the guy from Flipper, so.
Yeah, don't mess with him. So we just let it go and then when the take went, we had him confirm that it was, indeed, a trumpet trouser, and he said, 'yeah,' and it was weird, it smelt of egg nog.
Really?
And we know for a fact he hadn't drank any egg nog that day.
And it wasn't Christmas, it was like April.
Yeah yeah, wasn't it? But LOUD. LOUD, as if you know he'd really got himself ready for it.
That's uh...
PFFFFFFFFT.
Wow.
Pffft.
Like that.
A real voluminous poot.
PFFFFFFFFT.
And I looked at Billy, and his eyes were watering a little bit, and I thought he's feeling it in the eyes.
And you remember in the film I go, 'Mushrooms!', but that's cos I thought I smelt something.
*laughs*
Well your face was like two inches away from... or it was Sam's face which was next to a dogpile.
Yeah
Remember that?
Yeah.
That was my idea.
*laughs*
And that noise-
PFFFFFFFFFFT.
Just like that. And that noise that the Nazgul makes-
PFFFFFFFFFFT.
It was like that, wasn't it? And that noise that the Nazgul makes is actually in regards to Elijah's fart, when they go RAAAAAAAAH. That is.
PFFFFFFFFFFT.
It's because Elijah's just done that.
It's that backwards.
*laughs*
*laughs*
PFFFFFFFFFFT.
It translates if you speed it up to RAAAAAAAH. Which is Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson's wife, screaming.
It's crazy.
She was all the way back at Stone Street Studios screaming, cos she heard the fart from that far away.
Yeah. And they'd recently got a quite a high tax demand.
*laughs*
*laughs*
*mimes paper* Oh Pete, look at, RAAAAAAAAAAH.
PFFFFFFFFFFT.
*claps* fantastic. You guys are awesome. This is one of the best shows we've had in a very, very long time-
ONE OF…? ONE OF THE BEST? ONE OF…?
ONE OF…?
What is better? Did you have Gandalf in here?
Not yet. Not yet. It's the best.
Let's make it the best. Let's drop this *picks up chainmail* from a height onto my dinkle.
Alright. *raises chainmail over Billy's crotch* Tense yourself! *DROPS*
AH.
It's like an episode of Mythbusters.
It was great, wasn't it?
Look, everyone's saying 'The best, the best, the best'.
The best, the best, the best.
Absolutely the best.
Right, thank you.
Definitely the best.
Any plans for Beecake to tour?
We're coming to play your party!
Besides that, an American tour.
That is all we're thinking about right now, is making sure The One Ring Party, on the Oscar night, 24th of February, IS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST NIGHT THAT THIS WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!
...good.
*laughs*
You went a bit too over the top there.
PFFFFFFFFFFT!
*laughs*
*laughs*
Leave them wanting more, not less. They want less of you now!
*guffaws*
They want you to get out! Leave them wanting less, doesn't work as well.
1:12:55
Do you have your phone with you?
Yeah!
Let's follow someone on Twitter!
Yeah, come on!
Right! I'll follow someone. Who do yo want me to follow?
Who wants to get followed?
I'll follow someone.
Well… everyone obviously, not everyone, but a lot of people on there want to get followed. Give us a good reason to follow you. Or for Billy to follow you.
You'll need to follow us first, we're on @OfficialBeecake.
And I'm on @DomsWildThings.
That's right, guys. @DomsWildThings, or @OfficialBeecake. Follow these guys on their Twitter account.
We might ask them a question. We should ask them a question.
Where did the name Beecake come from?
That's a good story.
Gosh. I don't know whats going on, but my phone is going off the hook. My mom is calling me, my ex is calling me.
Well, have a look, have a look.
Well, I mean, Mom-
Your ex is calling? Well forget her!
Forget that.
Forget her, she was a-
Him.
-cruel witch.
*laughs*
Um. Should we ask them a question, that maybe people might not know. And we'll see who gets the right...a Lord of the Rings question maybe?
Yeah!
So what would that be? Something 'you' oriented.
Oh god.
Something that you'd have to have watch all the extended edition, behind the scenes, something deep.
Yeah. You'd need to.
Something difficult.
Something difficult.
*stretches* Soooooomethiiiiiing from-
&9835;Something pretty, something pretty.&9835;
Oh god, we've got to think of a good question.
The first fan who can name the first track on your first Beecake album.
Oh, that's good.
That's good.
That's good, do you know it?
I do know that, yeah.
Who's the first fan who can name the first song on the previous Beecake album-not Blue Sky Paradise.
Not Blue Sky Paradise, Soul Swimming is the first album. What is the first track? And I will follow you on your Twitterlytweet.
TWITTERLYTOODLES.
Who's got it?
Someone just mentioned-
'This Is Not An Exit?'
'This Is Not An Exit'?
Nope!
Nope!
No.
'Please Stay' Nope!
Nope!
Nope!
'I Love This Song'? Not a song. 'I have the unnamed one'. That doesn't work.
'A Ball of Earth?'
Yes! Ball of Earth, Ball of Earth.
'You got it, 'A Ball of Earth', that's you, it's [chat id].
'[chat id] What's your Twitter handle? Twitterize us.
[chat id], you win.
I'm going to follow you!
[chat id] What's your Twitter name?
Okay, lemma see, [chat id], you win.
I hope it's not something dirty, like @SmellMyTrousers.
*laughs*
What's your Twitter, Billy's gonna follow you.
*bedroom voice* I'll follow you.
Someone said their favourite movie of you was Still Game.
Oh, Still Game.
Oh, that was a TV show.
Oh, a TV show?
Yeah.
What's the answer? Nice work [chat id].
I'd a big beard.
A beard?
Yeah, on my chin!
You're funny in that. It's a… Is that the old man thing?
No...Well I was a sort of... I was sort of a bum.
They're old men.
Yeah, they're old men.
It's a story of Scottish old men, it's worth checking out.
It's funny.
*reading from the chat* 'How about a question from Dom?'
What?
Billy Connolly in The Hobbit. What do you think?
Brilliant. Billy Connolly in anything.
Was he in The Hobbit?
Not yet. He will be, though.
Dain Ironfoot.
*Billy Connolly Impression* Ooooh! Gandalf, I dunnae where ahm goin'. *flips hair back*
*points at Dom* He's good, isn't he?
*laughs* That's him! Thats HIM! That's funny.
*flips hair* Gawd, tha hills are so green arun here!
*laughs* That's brilliant! Thats very good! Say 'jobbie'.
*flips hair* A wee jobbie!
*cackles*
*flips hair* Oh the clouds are so swell arun here!
*laughs*
I love him. Billy Connolly's the man. I didn't know he was in the The Hobbit!
He did the Route 66 Show. Did you see that?
Yeah, and his show around Australia… Brilliant.
He rode his motorcycle all the way down Route 66. Was it a BBC show or…?
Oh, brilliant. Yeah, brilliant.
I'm not sure.
He has a real passion for life. He said that one of the things that changed his life forever… He was walking on a beach, in Ayre, in Scotland, and a mynah bird flew, landed on his shoulder and turned to him and said, 'hello!'
*laughs*
And he said that changed his life!
Wow, that's brilliant. Yeah, he's a true original, isn't he? What a man. Good actor as well.
Love it. Yeah, very good.
*finally reads Twitter address to Billy*
Wait a minute!
Guys, this has been a good live forum.
This has been a great live forum. Really really really really excellent.
Would you guys... what new trilogy or big new movie...Would you do Star Wars?
Oh, absolutely! Are you crazy?
Would you do The Avengers, Justice League?
I would definitely-
Ewan McGregor said he wants to come back for Star Wars.
Cool.
It's an amazing piece of movie history, Star Wars, you know, I'd love to do Star Wars.
[Twitter name] I have now followed.
Brilliant.
Oh, very good.
And if she's pleasant and kind-
And we virtually follow no one. I follow @DomsWildThings, its on today.
@DomsWildThings. @OfficialBeecake, which your handle on Twitter?
@Quickbeam2000
@Quickbeam2000. There's 2000 of you?
I don't follow you, I should follow you.
Please do. That way we can Direct Message.
I wanted to be in The Matrix Trilogy, didn't get that.
Did you go out for it?
Nah. Rubbish agent. I fired him. He must have died, actually.
I need to play a superhero soon, because my son's 6, and he only likes superheroes.
SCOTMAN.
Scotman!
*wheezes* Scotman. Fighting for Scottish Independence!
Right? That be great! *flips hair* Oh, et's great arun here!
*flips hair* Oh my gawd! And people come and you throw potato pancakes at them... pew, pew, pew!
Oh, take that!
*mimes kilt lift* Look at my kilt!
Look at that! We don't wear nothing!
*mimes kilt lift* Look at my kilt!
I love to feel a bit of breeze in me privates!
You could be that! He'd get Scotman and I wouldn't.
He'd be the villain in it. We went to, um-
I'd be?
You.
Me, the villain. *laughs*
You. *points to Billy and then Cliff* You'd be Scotman and you'd be the villain. We went to, what was that-
Who would I be? I'd be… the villain would be UK Man.
Yeah, UK Man. Wearing a Paul Smith suit. What was that Scottish thing we went to in New Zealand where we all wore kilts? It was at a stadium, was it Scotland vs New Zealand?
Oh, it was brilliant. It was, no, they brought the thing, they brought the Edinborough Tattoo.
*mimes drums*
And you remember, we said we've got to bring something Scottish, so like Dom wore a kilt, and Elijah wore a kilt and a Scotland top or something, and Viggo arrived with like a little, one of those little...
Troll?
A little troll doll.
A little troll.
Yeah, he was like HAAAAAAY.
Those freaky troll dolls?
And we're like, I don't know if that's Scottish or not.
Yeah, it smells like red felt tips, you know the smell of red felt tips? If you smell a troll you're like *sniff* 'red felt tips'.
Here's what I remembered about that night, you might not remember this. When we came home from it, and we'd a great night-whoa, it's all very Scottish and all that-and we were going past a kid's playground.
I do remember. *shakes head*
And I said, 'I'm going down that slide'. I was having such a great night. 'I'm going down that slide'. I went down the slide, my kilt went up and I burnt my arse!
Yeah. NOT THE HOLE, NOT THE HOLE.
Oh my.
THE CHEEK.
Just the cheek.
*facepalm*
Because my kilt rolled up, and then skin on metal, YEEEEEEEAAH!
Oh that's awful. And Elijah and I just stood in the wings having a conversation and we looked at you at that moment, and we saw your dingaling.
Did you?
Yeah. Brilliant. Albino!
With a scottish flag on it.
Yeah.
*guffaws and claps*
He went the whole hog. And we were all at Billy's house getting changed, and we said 'What is the deal, what do we do with the kilt thing?' and he said 'Well, I'll make sure that it's alright, but you can't wear anything underneath.'
No, no soft pink panties.
No.
Nothing like that.
No soft pink panties?
No.
None of those things they use in the industry to cover your twig and berries.
A muppet? *laughs*
Yeah. *laughs*
*laughs*
It's not a muppet, is it?
Yeah, a little mini Tickle-Me-Elmo. TICKLE ELMO. BWEE.
*laughs* You ever worn a kilt?
Never! Me?
You should!
I should!
Get empowered.
You haven't got a kilt?
No, I would love to wear a kilt! I mean, if you go back far enough in my family tree, there's some Scotsmen in there, but… A kilt?! Wow!
I'll bring you a kilt! I'll bring you a kilt from Scotland, d'you want a kilt?
I would love one! Really?
You need to give me your waist, and your inside leg-
*looks scandalized*
-and I'll get you a kilt. I'll bring it to The One Ring Party, on the 24th of February.
And I will wear it.
Have you got a tape measure? You could do it now.
And I will do like Orlando Bloom and go commando.
Totally.
You've got to.
Cos, you have a little idiosyncrasy about the way that you dress, a little character. I think you'd look good in a kilt.
Well, I'm down.
I've got that t-shirt. You gave me that t-shirt.
This 'Obey' t-shirt?
I love it. You should get that t-shirt its a great t-shirt.
Oh, I want that. Is that still available?
Oh yeah. Sure. This is funny.
I've got one-how about this, right-its from Threadless, which is a great t-shirt company.
I love Threadless, yeah.
They have the London Underground Tube map, but they've taken out all the names of the Underground places, and it's places in Middle-Earth.
Middle-Earth, I love it, I love it, thats frickin great.
Oh that's cool.
It is a Tube map, yeah. Mind the gap.
Mind the gap. Mind the Gandalf.
1:21:30 Stack of t-shirts thrown into shot.
WHOA! Now is there a small in here? Cos I am desperately small.
I want a medium.
LARGE.
He doesn't want a large. There's your Radagast shirt.
MEDIUM.
Nice, what's this? I'll shrink it. Large. I'll shrink it.
Oh, that's the large. Come on, get him a small or a medium, would ya?
I'll have a small for you at the Party.
Yeah, alright. We'll just.
What did you get? Did you get a medium?
This is a Radagast medium. I love getting free gifts.
I got a Radagast medium?
Look, this is a spoof of UPS. See?
'What can Brown do for you?'.
Which is the slogan for… I love it.
See? Do you remember Radagast?
He's the guy with the poo on him.
No, how do you remember him?
Oh, Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh!
Now wait a minute. Now, this wonderful X-Men character you played-
Yeah.
*holds out chainmail at arm's length again*
-died way too soon.
He did, didn't he.
Why is it you couldn't be in more X-Men movies? And which X-Man would you be if you had the chance to be in one?
Strong Arm Guy.
Just one arm.
One arm, I can hold things out. Rawr. If a baddie came, I'd just hold him out at length, at arm's length.
It weighs about 17 pounds.
It's heavy.
You're freakishly strong.
I work out. *flexes*
You know, I think the reason why he died so soon, is because that's the way the script was written.
You were great it that. I liked that.
Oh wonderful.
You were like…*touches temple*
There as a cadence, a real cadence.
I liked it.
You know, if Magneto can have mastery over magnetism, we haven't seen, in the film versions a mutant who can manage electricity. You can do that. It was so frickin' cool. Why did you have to die that soon?
I dunno, I think obviously in Wolverine they have to tell a lot of stories, and the major story, the main story was the story of Wolverine so they needed to get rid of some of the extraneous characters so that Hugh Jackman could come in. And can I just say, Hugh Jackman is probably the largest male I have ever seen in the flesh.
Really.
Oh my god, he's like...Ryan Reynolds is a big guy, you know, he's a big boy, and Hugh Jackman made him look kind of normal.
Really?
And before we would do a take, he'd be doing, um… press-ups. Just pounding press-ups, and he's stand up. And I stood next to him at one point when he stood up, and he had this vein that came out from the side of his shoulder and went down, like that, and I was like, 'WHAT IS THAT? How do you make THAT happen?' It was huge, and the way that he did it… I said 'What's your work out technique?' and he said "I go to the gym once a day, and I do stuff in between. But he would wake up at 5 in the morning, EAT A WHOLE CHICKEN.
A whole chicken, I say!
Isn't that insane? And then he would go back to sleep until 7, then he would eat every couple of hours, poached chicken and vegetables.
How tall is he? I thought he was just a little musical theater munchkin.
No, he's like 6'2", 6'3".
Really? Hugh Jackman?
Yeah.
Huge Jackman.
Huge Ackman. And what a professional. Like we finished one day, and he jumped on plane, flew to LA to rehearse for his presenting the Oscars, flew back and was on set Monday, and didn't say anything about it. And he was obviously jetlagged and had a rough weekend, he's working the weekend, but what a professional. Lovely man.
Very good. Very good.
Yeah.
And up for Best Actor for Les Mis.
Oh yeah. &9835;I dreamed a dreamy dreamy dream!&9835;
*clutches his arm*
&9835;And it that dream I dreamed a dreamy!&9835;
That was touching, that!
That wasn't Hugh Jackman. Anne Hathaway.
That was quite good.
SHE IS A SHOO-IN for an Oscar.
Oh, she'll get an Oscar for that.
Absolute shoo-in.
Yeah. Shaved her head and everything.
Yeah. She did. She had a hell of a day. She had to pull out her teeth.
Ugh.
She had to have sex with someone she didn't want to have sex with.
Yeesh.
She was in a coffin.
Augh! What a day.
She thought her daughter was dead. Dead?
Right?
No! She sold her daughter! No the daughter worked for Borat, didn't she?
Did she?
Borat. Borat and Tim Burton's wife.
Oh, god.
Oh yeah yeah.
And she says 'I thought my life would be different from this'. Well, you WOULD think your life would be different from that, wouldn't you?
Different from shit.
Yeah!
Yeah!
She thought it'd be a bit better than this.
I mean I at least thought I'd have my own teeth at 23.
*laughs*
Christ, I grew my hair right down my back, and it's gone!
And I like how she came back later on, the haircut was still short, but she'd obviously been to Vidal Sassoon in Heaven. They'd cut off some of the patches, she looked quite sexy.
And she's also going commando, stepping out of a limousine and everybody's seeing her hoo-haa.
Oh yeah. Yeah. *whistles*
Yeah. Little miss The Devil Wears Prada.
When was this?
Okay, she gets out of a car at the premiere of Les Mis, I think it was New York City, I think, and she gets out of the limo and all the paparazzi's get great photographs of… everything.
No.
Like she was wearing a kilt.
Do you know what?
The devil wears nothing.
Yeah.
Paparazzi's did that to me a couple of times, when I was getting out, wearing a kilt, and they've got the cameras like that. I mean, that's not right.
Did they get you?
No, they didn't get me.
You should've just shown them just one ball.
No way!
Hold onto the rest of it, just say 'HAVE A LOOK AT THAT. I'M NOT GIVING YOU THE REST UNLESS I GET CASH'.
Just one ball.
Muppet!
Muppet! Look at that little Elmo, look at him winking at ya.
*covers face, giggling*.
That's not allowed, that!
Somebody hand me a tambourine, please. Somebody hand me a tambourine.
1:26:30
*holds out chainmail*
What do you think will win best picture?
I think Argo is going to upset Lincoln.
Do you know what should win?
I'll read your mind. Life of Pi.
Ooh.
No I didn't, did I?
*laughs* HOBBIT
Yeah. HOBBIT. But it's not nominated. You're an idiot.
If it wasn't for The Hobbit, Life of Pi
Life of Pi.
Oh god, that's a lovely film. Did you see that?
Ang Lee can do no wrong.
Right?
Except for that Hulk movie, but. Ang Lee's awesome.
Hey, you wouldn't like him when he's Ang Lee.
*laughs*
*laughs, claps*
I, uh.
I haven't heard that in awhile, Dom.
I think Life of Pi's the best picture, but I think Les Mis is gonna when it. Les Mis is a juggernaught this year.
Yeah. It was alright.
Lincoln, I thought was fantastic, but I think Les Mis will win it.
I thought Lincoln was too sobering and too boring.
And too beardy. You know?
Yeah.
Shave, I don't want to see that old beard.
Yeah, beardy. It's all about the beards this year.
Yeah yeah.
Hot dwarves with beards, hot Dominic with a little bit of scruffy scruff right here.
A little 7 o'clock shadow.
I got rid of mine.
Yeah, you look good with a beard.
I got rid of it.
Yeah? I like it.
Yeah I got rid of it.
You shave daily?
You do?
Mm, twice daily.
*mouths* Twice!
Twice daily?
*whistles* Very, very manly.
What's with this salt and pepper going on here?
Oh, I'm aging, prematurely.
I like it.
It's like the story of Benjamin Button.
I had a conversation with your ex-girlfriend on the set of the Hobbit, by the way.
Yeah. And did she talk about my grey beard?
She did not. Actually, the funny thing about Evangeline is that I was there visiting and I was in Stealth Mode. Nobody knew I was there, Warner Brothers didn't know I was there, Peter bumped into me and said, 'Oh, Hi Cliff,' and I'm like 'Hi Peter. I know you're busy, just go back to work.' So I'm sitting in the back, being really quiet, and Evangeline looks at me and she goes, 'You're visiting, aren't you?' She walks up out of her chair, comes right up to me and says, 'How're you doing? Are you having a good time? Are you visiting? Where are you from?' She was the warmest and most sincere, amiable woman… she just completely surprised me.
Lovely.
She was so generous with her time.
She's very surprising.
She generous, and so Canadian, that's one of the big reasons why, she was so nice. And I said, 'Yeah, actually 'm visiting from, you know, TheOneRing.net.' And she went, 'Oh really? That's so exciting, and I hope the fans really like me' because she's nervous that the invented character, who's not in the book, is going to take the most friction from the fandom. And I said, 'Don't worry, we're gonna love it. We're gonna love it, it'll be great.'
You know, there's a little bit of that with Arwen, when Lord of the Rings was being made, people were saying 'Oh, what you doing with Arwen, be careful with Arwen, we don't want her being a warrior, and be gentle with her' cos they liked her so much, so I think the female characters in Lord of the Rings, people get very very particular about, so. But I mean, Pete does great stuff.
He does, he does. And Mister Bloom is doing all of his own stunts these days.
He always does. We saw him the other day, and I'll tell one of the stunts that he didn't do. He did not pick up his dog's poo.
Oh no. Oh, party foul.
That is a stunt too far for Orlando Bloom.
Yeah.
Yeah, he just let it go with nature. And I said, 'you mean go with a four-year-old boy, when he walks past', and he went, 'Yeah.'
*laughs*
Lovely dog though. Beautiful dog. He's got a grey beard as well.
Nice dog, but I don't need him pooing in the street.
Yeah.
Got to pick it up.
In LA that's the worst thing, is to not pick up your dog poo.
Right?
Come on.
If I ever poo'd in the street, I'd definitely pick it up.
I would. Even if I didn't have a bag.
Just put it in your hand.
Yeah. Pick up your poo.
Use it as a cigar as a disguise. *smoke imaginary poo cigar*
*laughs*
Anyone got a light?
So one of you live in LA and one of you live in Scotland, or are you together or have houses each.
*looks at Billy and laughs*
What? *laughs hard*
Do you guys crash at each others pads or what?
Yeah, when Billy comes into town, right now he's with his family, so I don't have as much space and I think Billy wants to spread out a little bit. Uh, he gets a place in different parts of LA. But when Billy comes in on his own... *grabs Billy's hand* There's always a room welcome for you.
And I live there. And it's lovely. And we get up and we have a coffee and we have a swim. Then we slap each other.
Yeah. I say to him, 'you can stay and long as you want, do whatever you want, my house is yours, fridge, you know, use the towels, all that kind of stuff'... But he has to buy me a gift, everyday. That's the only proviso.
That's not bad.
And the gift, it raises in price so the first day, $10, $20, $30, $40. Which, I think that's pretty reasonable. You know. Got me a house when you left, didn't you?
Yeah. I was there for three months, though. *shrugs* I don't mind.
It's business.
When he comes visiting, do you have to buy any special tea or food or crumpets or something that he likes?
I have quite a lot of tea. I buy milk and coffee, cos I don't generally drink milk. Billy loves a bit of cow juice. So I'll get him milk, coffee, and then Billy has an absolutely serene yoga routine, so I'll jump into that. And then I have to give him an hour in the morning for him to meditate, cos if he doesn't meditate, he's a bloody nightmare.
Hell to live with.
*laughs*
Just give him a soft cushion, a corner of a room, an hour-he's fine.
Yeah?
Yeah. Without that he starts pulling his knives out.
Are you double-jointed?
*giggles* No.
Do you want me to leave?
Can you...? Are you...? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Billy, We'll talk later.
Okay.
We'll talk later about some of those delightful yoga moves. Wait a minute, we have over 1300 viewers live right now.
Wow.
Let's get them to do something. If you've got 1300 people, let's get them to do something.
Let's get them to all jump up and down in place.
Here's something, right? Everyone who's listening, and watching… is this visual as well as...?
Everything's visual.
Right. Everyone has to make a sandwich for someone they don't know. Today.
Nice.
So for someone homeless or someone, even a friend.
*applauds*
You have to make them a sandwich and go and take them it.
But surely they'd know their friend.
Yes, but they wouldn't know they're getting a sandwich.
They don't know they're getting a sandwich.
Hey, got you a sandwich.
What flavor?
Well, it's ham.
Oh, I like ham.
You've got your Twitter, right?
Yeah, I've got it.
Tell everyone to follow you and just watch the number go up.
Alright, everyone follow @OfficialBeecake. What?
How many followers do you have right now?
Right hold on.
Four.
That's a very good test.
*laughs* Four. Fourteen. No, 11.4K.
Brilliant.
Is that good?
It's great.
Wow. Meow.
Follow @OfficialBeecake.
Follow @OfficialBeecake and I am @DomsWildThings.
Yeah, do that.
And we follow each other.
Oh, I've sat on my leg too long. NYAH.
Oh, don't let something out.
No, don't let two tablespoons of air come out of your bum.
*finds things he's been sitting on* Radiosepia, buy that.
its my brother's album, Digital Scars, Radiosepia, what a singer.
Buy it.
It's like me but better.
He's really good, really good.
What genre of music?
I would say kind of broken singer/songwriter, with a little bit of a science tip.
Yeah, a little bit folky.
Alright.
You compared him to The Libertines the other night.
I heard some Libertines in there.
I think Badly Drawn Boy as well if anyones into the Mancunian guys.
I love Badly Drawn Boy.
I'll leave this here for you.
Thank you, I'll love it. Fantastic.
In fact, here is a gift. Digital Scars.
Thank you, Dom. Well done.
You can have that.
I just downloaded this last night, you guys, it's available on iTunes. Get Blue Sky Paradise.
Blue Sky Paradise.
Or Beecake.com and you can have the actual album like at, and we'll sign it! We'll sign it!
That's a sweet deal.
And there's merch, there's more merch on your thing as well, isn't there? Merch?
I don't think so, but there should be.
What about that t-shirt your wife was wearing the other night?
Yeah well, we just kind of have them for ourselves. We'll out them online, though.
Argh, I'm livid.
We'll have your CD's at the party right?
What. At the One Ring Oscar Party on the 24th of February? The night to end all nights.
What an evening that will be.
Guys, if you don't have your ticket yet, go ahead, go to TheOneRing.net, click the pull down menu that says events, or community. It says the Oscar party right there.
*points and laughs*
Right in the Dominic Monaghan?
Alright and you can follow me @Quickbeam2000, follow Dominic @DomsWildThings, and be sure to watch BBCAmerica tonight, the American launch of Dom's Wild Things. It's gonna be really really wild.
10/9central. 10/9central, check your local listings. And if you have DirectTV that's channel 264. If you have TimeWarner Cable, no idea.
It's amazing. It's an amazing show.
Thanks, William.
No I really loved it, I really did.
Thanks.
I'll watch it again.
Aw, that's sweet.
Are we gonna see you do gross things like eating bugs or eating exotic things?
I do eat a bit of exotic stuff, I do eat a couple of insects throughout the show, but not often. I eat some strange stuff. I don't do that many gross things, I mean, I take my shirt off and that gets pretty gross a couple of times.
Oh my god.
Covered in open weeping sores.
Oh my god.
You're not Steve-O, you're not just…
No, I'm not Steve-O, I've got a few tattoos. Billy and I share a tattoo.
Yeah. He has it the weekends.
*laughs*
*applauds* Good one. Several people ask, do you have a Beatles tattoo?
I do. I do have a Beatles tattoo, a live from Strawberry Fields Forever, 'Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.' Which I think is true.
Yeah?
Yeah, and that's why I got it.
Yeah.
What did you think of Julie Taymor's Into the Universe?
Wait, do you mean Across the Universe?
Across the Universe, across, I meant to say that. Across the Universe. What did you think of her film version of that?
I thought it was good. I like Jim Sturgess, I think he's great, he makes good choices, he's a good actor. You know, anything around the Beatles kind of folklore I'm interested in. Not a big fan of musicals, although in the last year thats been revolutionized. I went to see Les Mis, I went to see Matilda, I went to see Jersey Boys, I want to see The Book of Mormon.
Me too.
But it's also about...You saw the The Book of Mormon, didn't you?
No.
What was that one? Oh you saw Avenue Q and you loved it.
Oh yeah.
I've not seen it.
Dirty Muppets.
Dirty Muppets.
Dirty Muppets.
Dirty Muppets.
Brilliant.
Is it time?
Yes.
Someone just said, 'Dom, don't drink your pee out in the wild.' I won't do that. I won't.
What...okay, great advice, that's really appreciated, thank you [chat ID]
Looking forward to the Life of Pi episode.
Yep. Life of Pi episode, coming up. But it's a slightly smaller scale. It's me, on a boat, middle of the Pacific, with a tiny, tiny little bee. Dangerous, though, it'll sting you!
What's his name?
Steve.
Steve what?
Steve the bee!
*cackles*
He'll sting you! Careful
Steve the bee.
And all there is to eat is a cake.
Ah now maybe that's the ending! At the very end, a cake appears, I combine the two, and then Billy turns up with a guitar.
*air guitar* &9835;Dum dinkdink bum.&9835;
*air guitar* Closing credits.
So good. You guys are so good.
Next years Oscar nominated film. The Life of Steve.
*laughs* The bee.
The Life of Steve the Bee. You guys are really brilliant, and I want to thank you for your time, and thanks for-
Thanks man.
We love hanging out with you. *shakes cliff's hand*
And thanks for narrating my movie from all those years ago.
Oh, what a great film, Ringers, check it out. You can buy it at Amazon and all that kind of stuff, Ringers is all about the world of Lord of the Rings and what it means to us in pop culture. Brilliant film.
Yeah. Heavy emphasis on the Hippie movement and Rock and Roll. Yeah, we got a PG-13 rating for one reason. And one reason only.
Drugs.
Yeah. A drug reference. You're in the booth, and we had a shot of a bong, it was a wizard bong, and you're in the recording booth going, *makes smoking noise*, and you did this very audible toke, and we got smacked with a PG-13 rating right away.
Don't do drugs.
No, don't.
Unless you're asthmatic, and then Ventolin.
Just. *claps* I love it. Just have a laugh guys, have a good laugh. And Mr Billy Boyd. You're gonna be in LA for the next few weeks?
For another couple of weeks, at least.
Good. Good good good.
But I will come back for the One Ring Oscar Party.
We'll have to take you to the Cat and Fiddle for some of that authentic, yeah.
Yeah, I'd love that, yeah. We could have a toast to the Professor.
*shakes hands across Dominic* It's so good to see you, Mr. Boyd, and Mr. Monaghan. Wild Things from BBCAmerica, it's launching tonight.
*holds out chainmail*
We're gonna go offline now, we're gonna say thank you guys and wrap up the show, because we're gonna do a quick little Q and A session, and we're gonna publish a little mini interview with Dominic on TheOneRing.net. Mr. Boyd, you can take that with you if you want.
I'm taking it at least that far.
Can we give this? I don't know if it's mine to give away.
*stands with chainmail* See you later.
Take your chainmail and GET OUT.
To you, the audience, I hate to say goodnight so soon, but its like, its time to say goodnight. So long, farewell, alvetersain, goodnight. Anybody?
*slowly wanders around in the frame*
You've made it awkward.
Are you gonna...?
You've ruined it.
Where's our musical exit, Billy?
*ducks into frame with a funny face*
*laughs*
*waves* See you later. Go get a hot dog or something.
Pink's. Pink's Hot Dogs on LeBrea.
And we're good. (Screen fades to logo)
We're good.
It feels so....
END.
