Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 015 – Tricycle Gold & Cheese

 

Good morning everybody! The original morning show is back, and this week we have something special. Ted Glover, @purplebuckeye, has joined Drew & Dave as part of the Good Morning Gjallarhorn crew. ...With even more laughs and elite Vikings knowledge. How would you rate this free agent acquisition? This week we talk tricycles, our review of the San Francisco 49ers game and the fact that it is Packers Week. Come and see what the guys say about the Minnesota Vikings first game, the play of the defense, how do Dalvin Cook did in his first full game back from his torn ACL, how Granite Jaw McDreamy, Kirk Cousins, fared in his regular-season debut in purple, along with all those lovely pressures and interceptions. There was an impressive debut by rookie Mike Hughes, and a surprise player coming into play nickel. Join us as the show welcomes its third wheel.

Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 012 – @saxyprince blows!

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!
