In this episode, Henrik takes us on a journey through the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, focusing particularly on the everyday lives of elves.

With his signature blend of humor and introspection, Henrik ponders the mundane aspects of immortal life that are often overlooked in fantasy literature.

From questioning the practicalities of elven hygiene to imagining the domestic struggles of an unconventional elf named Bonkers, Henrik weaves a tapestry of absurd scenarios that challenge our perceptions of these mythical beings. He explores the potential monotony of eternal life, the peculiarities of elven society, and the frustrations of divine intervention in mortal affairs.


Along the way, Henrik shares his thoughts on language, accents in fantasy adaptations, and the generic portrayal of fantasy races. He even delves into the realm of dental hygiene, offering a unique perspective on the act of brushing one's teeth.


As the episode winds down, Henrik finally delivers on his promise of presenting made-up information, leaving listeners with a weird image of blue buttons becoming stars in the night sky.


This episode is a perfect blend of relaxation and humor, inviting listeners to drift off to sleep while pondering the absurdities of fantasy worlds and the hidden complexities of seemingly perfect societies.
