E288 Dominic Monaghan & Billy Boyd - Bad Butts, Geekiness & Life Lessons
On todays episode of The Viall Files we are joined by the amazingly dynamic duo that is Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan. Most you will know them from The Lord Of The Rings but they are spending some time peeling back the layers of friendship in their new podcast The Friendship Onion. Nick speaks with the guys a little bit about their iconic work but really gets into the hard hitting topics like Billy's knees being weak cause his butt is weak, naming cars, dating, marriage, even venomous insects. These friends can take a topic from zero to 60 in the most randomly enjoyable way so be ready to be entertained this episode.
" Never get jealous of someone else's success, that is the absolute secret of life."
