268 Waiting for the Son

Published: Nov. 6, 2022, 4 p.m.

Alan and Shaun finish their time in Minas Tirith waiting for Bergil to decide whether to take Pippin\u2019s lunch money. Hard, bold, and wicked, Pippin can\u2019t choose between \u2018Prince of the Halflings\u2019 and \u2018Devil of a Hobbit\u2019; Minas Tirith orders its troops from a catalog, and we offer up a sidebar on the Thain of the Shire. We take some time to see what\u2019s going on with the rest of the Fellowship, and spend a bit of time on WW2 blackouts. Finally, Shaun and Alan agree on something: 29 isn\u2019t really old.
