Have you all watched Norseman on Netflix yet? I'm not personally recommending it because it has offensive things in it and I'm obviously

super against offensive things but I know some very very bad people who watched it and liked it and if they were here what they would want me to tell you

is that the reason they think it's super funny is because it's like the office meets Vikings and you get all of the social

dysfunction of this little village of Norsemen who go on raids and whatnot but

they're all Minnesota nice and very in touch with their feelings and very concerned

about the feelings of others.

And they all have that Norwegian thing going.

And it's very disappointing when their village gets raided and they get taken away as slaves.

Just the affectation alone, which I cannot do justice to,

as I quote the bad people who like this show,

who would recommend it if they were here,

is enough to watch the program for.

The whole thing is very funny according to these bad people.

And one of the things that my bad friends who like this show tell me about it is that even though the whole thing is obviously a farce,

it's still shocking how effective those Viking war speeches and

rallying cries are because the Viking mystique of we are going knowingly into the fray and into danger and

Valhalla waits on the other side and if my bad friends were here the next word

they would want me to say to you as we talk about the Vikings thing is

likewise when we look at Matthew chapter 10 we've got this call to battle that is

coming from Jesus he's telling his disciples who he's sending out on this open world

quest that this is going to be ugly. This is going to be bloody. You are going to hurt if you sign up to participate in this thing.

But much like the Viking War Rally where we know we're going off to possibly die in glory,
