There is truly no spin-off too obscure for us to turn into a DT! episode. And, when a spin-off begins to pick up speed on a major streaming service, it is our job--nay, our duty--to turn it into a silly podcast about comics or video games. So, it should be no surprise to you, a listener of culture, that we're persenting to you today an episode based on Netflix mega-hit, FiF:KoD! Oh, that's Forged in Fire: Knife or Death for you uncultured dweebs. This week, we seek to discover which comic book weapon would perform the best in a History Channel Knife Sports show.

If you came here for Norse mythology, Andrew has something special for you. Someone had to talk about a DC property, so we left that for Kyle. Todd's answer has the emphasis on the wrong syllable. Also, WWE's Bill Goldberg is here!

It's so easy to get down on yourself and want to quit. Forged in Fire not only helped reinforce not quitting but also how we can be better people.  When one of the competitors was having some major setbacks the others started cheering him on and even helping him.

Listen in today and you can hear more about the lessons I learned. Why not to give up and hang in there!
