Summary

This week is another Mathias and Daniel episode! On purpose! Definitely not because we had a guest cancel on us at the last minute. We're taking this as an opportunity to dedicate an entire episode to the absolute fever dream that is the Viking creation myth, specifically the version in Snorri Sturluson's Edda. So be prepared for some knees knocking each other up, a cow licking a giant to life, and learning that Asgard is actually the ancient city of Troy (also it's made out of a giant's eyelashes, it's complicated).
