Speaker 2 (00:17):
My insta feed is and I think a lot of
people's insta feed is experiencing the same the same thing,
because a lot of people on my insta feed are
saying that their insta feed is experiencing the same thing.
But my insta feed is absolutely rammed with this. The

(00:43):
world has gone crazy for the six foot five striking
Viking Erlin Harland. I love the man. He's just a
massive Viking unit, a goal scoring machine. The seven goals
so far are in the twenty twenty six World Cup.
Right from the moment he entered the Premier League, he
has been a monster. Most goals scored by a Premier

(01:06):
League player and all competitions in one seed, he's in
fifty two goals twenty two to twenty three. His dad
was in the Premier League and his mum with the Decatholice,
so he's he has a powerful Viking bloodline. For me,
he's like for the God of Thunder meets Loki, the
shape shifting chaos creating tricks to God. He's powerful and strong,

(01:28):
but funny and he never dives because he said his dad,
who used to play for Leeds, he said his dad
would get it mad at him if he did so.
He's kind of awesomely funny looking, you know, he's got
that hunchback walk, but he's amazing. He would be just
as happy jumping off a boat and burning down a
monastery as he would be scoring a goal anyway. The

(01:49):
problem is I love I love England football, and particularly
Harry Kane, especially when he lost his voice after the
Mexico win.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Unbelievable, Ah, speechless, Jordan, my place is gone.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
We had to fight it stomach. So this Sunday he
sounds like a muppet. The wood Muppet has bandied about
a lot on the show, but he does sound like
a muppet there. So the Sunday morning it's Ariy Kine,
the Mighty English King versus Early the powerful Viking Warrior
at nine am. And if only we lived in a
world in which they both could win. But they can't,

(02:27):
So go England.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
We hear a lot of about the Man City halland song,
but how about this official Norwegian Viking song. This is
powerful Chill from the No Suner one Warrior Risers The

(02:56):
North is calling hills powerful stuff. Of course, historically their
Vikings and the English have had their confrontations and their battles,

(03:22):
and the Vikings historically won those. There we go. That's
powerful stuff. But let's even things out with a bit
of a bit of windulut.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
From from you put the cattle.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
It's at nine am Sunday morning. That's a big one.
I'm excited. I've got ten mates coming around and making
the breakfast a fall English breakfast with some Norwegian fisher
row on the side.
