Andvari's ring, Andvaranaut, is actually one of the inspirations behind Tolkien's One Ring.
From the Volsunga Saga and Gylfaginning, the first section of Sturluson's Prose Edda, there was a Dwarven king called Hreidmar who had three sons: Fafnir, Regin and Otr. Otr liked to take the form of an otter and catch fish in streams (often nearby to Andvari, who took the form of a pike). Odin, Hoenir and Loki were travelling, and upon seeing an otter that had just caught a salmon, Loki threw a stone and killed the otter. The three Aesir were happy at catching two meals and skinned the otter. When they entered Hreidmar's home, he immediately recognised the otter skin and held the Aesir to ransom, demanding weregeld for his murdered son. Hreidmar named his price, that the otter skin had to be filled with gold and then coated in red gold. Odin agreed and sent Loki. Loki found Andvari, caught him, and coerced him into giving over his hoard of gold as ransom. But the Dwarf withheld a single ring, Andvaranaut, which, like Draupnir, would create copies of itself and therefore be able to regenerate his wealth. Loki noticed and forced him to hand it over, upon which Andvari cursed his gold and the ring to be the death of whoever possessed it. Of course, Loki didn't care because he wasn't going to hold onto the gold, but told Odin about the curse. Odin wanted to keep Andvaranut, but there was only so much gold to cover all but one whisker of the otter skin, so Hreidmar demanded the ring. It brought ruin to Hreidmar's family, to the Volsungs, and to the Nibelungs before being lost forever.
Oh Kratos, intruding into the territory of other's to murder them, possibly genociding several entire species just to spread some ashes of his dead wife. Kratos is the worst. Gonna be awkward when the boy learns of his past.

Pat you absolute fool it isn't worse it's un-upgraded
Soooooo… The travelers are old warhammer 40k soldiers?

Woolie if you don't fucking UPGRADE YOUR FUCKING Comedic Timing!
Wait, does that mean Woolie's never played FF6?
Matt: "Zendaya"
Woolie: "you mean Zedoñįa"
16:50 Matt: "You need more luck." But Pat and Woolie sandbag the idea of Lucky Kratos.
Was the bad thing they built a philosopher's stone
Battle of Five Armies was on par with Last Jedi.
Did Woolie seriously have a fucking pout-fest over Pat trying to figure out where the fuck to go? Get the dude his bottle already.

I don't understand the hate of the Star Wars prequels at all

19:28 "It's not recurved, tho." Woolie is litterally looking at a recurve bow saying it's not recurved. WTF.
