February 17, 2019

Rich and Bijan are joined by Will from TwoTwentyTwo Productions to look at a show with Ninja Warrior roots called Viking. Specifically we talk about Viking 2 which, among other things, is the birthplace of the obstacle “Spinning Bridge”.
But the real selling point is the amazing feats of mental fortitude and conditioning required by the ninjas, as they try to replicate the functions of a calculator AND a stop watch.
