Mansplaining Overload

This podcast, co-hosted by noted failed relationship guru James Pogatshnik and mr. useful human Arif Hasan, is a psyop that is trying to get you and your children to believe that the Vikings are going to use CJ Ham more in 2023 than they did in 2022. Extremely controversial and no good for you or your families mental health and overall well being. Also, as I stated in the title of this review, these two mansplain all the time. I will not expand any further. Anyways, this podcast continually tends to walk the very thin line between Critical Race Theory (😱) and Vikings analysis, and they also bring on Locked On Vikings and Built Bar enthusiast Luke Braun (derogatory) from time-to-time and it is traumatizing. These guys make me pay $3.50 a month to be their “friend” and it is ruining my personal life. 10/10 Love the show and the patreon community. 💜

Great show! Deep dive into every game!

This show is a fun and informative way to learn about previous and upcoming matches for the Vikings!

Norse Code is a Joke

This podcast is terrible. One of the hosts has an obsession with the other host’s face and plasters it all over household items as well as having a terrible voice for podcasting. The other lies about his 40 yard dash times and is racist towards bees.

Clearly neither of them take the show seriously and put in effort towards making it successful. They can’t even get a BuiltBar sponsorship. In fact, I’ve never heard them do a single ad read so obviously businesses aren’t interested in supporting the show. Would not recommend to friends or family.

10/10, can’t wait for the next episode.
