Good morning everybody, Dave here, with another episode of the vodcast Good Morning Gjallarhorn. Drew is working his tail off in a construction project to create a home studio and improve the show. Guesting for Drew is the Daily Norseman’s and Climbing The Pocket’s own Yinka Ayinde, better known as the @saxyprince. Yinka and I had a great time talking Vikings and his talents.   Here are just some of the items we talked about:   Yinka blows the sax, thus the name of the show, but plays many instruments and even has a degree in music therapy. I can’t get the picture of him wearing a vest and calming people stressing out people with issues, like a golden retriever. LOL. Diggs is a “cheat code.” Zimmer the Wizard brewing some safety and corner nightmares for the opposition that just may revolutionize the game. We discussed the great talent at the ever growing Climbing The Pocket Network.   As always, enjoy the watch!   Transitional music used and attributed to The New Era Beats – All Night, by Row Vrg.

Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 011 – A Ted Talk   Good morning everybody, Dave here, with another episode of the vodcast Good Morning Gjallarhorn. As the title of this episode suggests, Drew and I are talking with the Daily Norseman’s one and only Ted Glover. Ted discusses a wide range of topics from coach Mike Zimmer, Gloria Estefan, his service, the Jacksonville Jaguars game and some of the good and bad from that, the 2018 season, plus the new rules, and even his froo-froo beer tastes. LOL. We think you will love it!   It was a show full of laughs and few serious bits. We always love talking with our favorite Purple Buckeye.   As always, enjoy the listen!   Music licensed through AudioJungle, the song is Stylish Powerful Energetic Rock.   (All rights go to The National Football League, the Minnesota Vikings, and all their broadcasters.
