Lord of the Rings References Are Just Fun, Right?

I don't think I constantly make references to Lord of the Rings, right? That's a different thing. The important thing is flow and stopping the other person to be like, ah, that's Star Trek. You can do that in real life conversations. You can't do that in podcast conversations. So just because someone doesn't acknowledge a reference, what you should feel listener is the satisfaction of knowing, I know what he's talking about. And it's my precious and all that nonsense.
