We-ell...there was a time in my life when my little sister and I didn't talk about anything but the LotR...before the movies came out. Just about every word that came was LotR related or a direct quote. That's poor to say even here on a LotR site, but I do have the excuse that we were young and I didn't have a job yet, nor a better purpose in life.
Granted, we don't talk constantly, and we were not always debating or arguing. Much of the time we were simply quoting. But there were points of discussion, naturally.
So, I can state no hours, but it was a lot of time taken up.
