Why does James apologize for missing last week’s recording?
Yo man, can you see the mics, man?
Welcome to Norse Code, the number one podcast for Minnesota Vikings. I'm your host, producer. My name is James Fogoshnik. Thank you guys so much for listening. And at the other end of the tin cannon string, we have our analyst and co-host. You know him from numerous blogs and podcasts around the internet, most notably from the wide left sub stack. He is Mr. Useful Human, Arif Hasan. Arif, I want to apologize to you and our listeners for not being able to record last week. This was on me. I'll try to do better and not be in pain. Yeah, this really is a moral failing of yours to have experienced pain and delayed the recording by a week. I'm really disappointed in you, James. I could have pushed through, but I would have had the Southern accent from Aaron Rodgers and the Toradol. And my goal for the rest of the episodes of Norse Code is to not have that Southern drawl.
Um, in any of them, uh, intentional or not like trying not to be in a situation where I decide to just start doing characters or I'm just, Oh, you know, it'd be a great idea. Just doing a Southern accent for no reason. Like, So this is on me. As a result, we outside of like a brief conversation about Diane Rossini. I don't know that we've talked much about. Oh, yeah, that's true. We haven't done. Yeah. Or I could use said southern accent. But but here we are. Instead, we were just discussing Italians. And I feel like that was more important. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. We're doing our best work here in our final season. Just want to point that out. Welcome to this episode of Norse Code. Hope you guys are all doing well. We have a number of things to talk about. OTAs have begun. We have a discussion on that. Some opinions have been made.
and put out there on the interwebs about the QE battle. Some people are staying on the fence. These people are cowards. I did say that before the show, actually. Full disclosure. Yes. I was willing to take the heat, but if a reef is also going to. All right, fine. We also have a discussion on Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota. Excellent. I'm not editing that out. Minnesota is going to be hosting not on painkillers right now. I am. I just got it. Not enough to have the not enough to have the draw. Minnesota will be hosting the draft. We have a little bit of a discussion on that. We have some around the league stuff, whether it's the lawsuit or talking about Green Bay's issue that is going to be important for them. And we have a fantastic mailbag as well. But before we start again, thank you guys so much for listening to Norse Code. If you enjoy the show and would like to help us financially, there's a couple of different ways you can do it.
You can head over to patreon.com slash NorseCode for $3.50 a month or a little less for the year subscription. You get access to the Discord, bonus episodes, all of that. A new episode will be put out here very shortly. You can also go to paypal.me slash NorseCode as well for a one-time donation. or you can go to norsecode.threadless.com for any number of wonderful pieces of Norse Code merch. It's also worth noting that the Discord has started to put together the official Norse Code wiki. I say official because I'm sure as hell not going to do it.
I tried once and that... The fact that you don't... The fact that we don't have one doesn't make the next one the pop-up official. I just want you to know that if the NBA doesn't make a muffin, someone saying they want to make an NBA muffin doesn't make that the official muffin of the NBA. We don't have to take Damian Barrett's wiki and treat it as official is what I'm saying.
So, the official Norse Code Wiki is being put together. The page, there are certain pages that are terrifying. My favorite currently being the original list, or the list of original names for all of the episodes. Some of them are bangers, and it's unfortunate that we were not able to put the actual names in the list. I have a feeling people might have actually stopped listening based on some of these names. They were good, though. It was good, I promise. But they are listed. So as that becomes more complete, that'll be available. My understanding is that SumerBrain has been used to assist in the creation of the wiki, or at least that's what it appears. So...
