Gimli says he\u2019s near the end of their tale; Alan and Shaun aren\u2019t convinced. Join us as we discuss how hard it is to look at your watch when you\u2019re in battle, as we complete The Last Monolog\u2026 er, Debate. The Lords of the West conclude they have only a choice of evils; long-term weather forecasting isn\u2019t a thing in Middle-earth; and counting to 7,000 seems pointless. Shaun explains how palant\xedri are like social media algorithms, while The Lord of the Mark returns to explain why the guy in the van is smoking a cigarette and eating cheese. Finally, not all unsheathed swords are a euphemism.
