  • Foreigner for Fëanor - Alan never takes advice, and someday he’ll pay the price, I know.
  • Call Me Maggie - Shawn decides calling him ‘Lómion’ just isn’t familiar enough.
  • Really Bad Singing - Our moment in the limelight is a far cry from the great vocalists of rock … or even comedy.

  • Haldad Oops - Shawn learns that reading is hard, even with help.
  • THAT Button - More fun with the studio toy that Alan should never have gotten his hands on.
  • Wait For It... - A little ‘BTS’ moment where we discover that just because Shawn’s a “stickler for accuracy,” it doesn’t mean he’s always right.
  • Equine Mathematics - Shawn’s horse, Trigger, performs basic math and predicts the length of episode 030.
  • Stank Upon The Air - Alan waxes poetic about an eructation. And no, that’s not what you think it is. And yes, that’s how it’s spelled.
  • Really Bad Accents - Shawn’s “Wisconsin Mom” turns into an Irish leprechaun. And Morgoth takes a shower.
  • No... REALLY, Really Bad Accents - Alan humiliates himself; we agree it’s so bad we shouldn’t even put it in the outtakes. But then…

  • Shawn's Got Nothing - Before we record, Shawn takes inventory of his research and notes… and finds it wanting.
  • Witch! - The Easterlings thought Morwen a witch — naturally, that leads to a lengthy recitation of Monty Python from Alan & Shawn. Naturally.

  • Beren, Túrin and… Star Wars - Nerd worlds collide: lost extremities and kissing your sister!

  • Under The Sea - Shawn gives us his unique spin on a character voice for Ulmo — a must-hear!
