'''Norse Code Episode 253: In Living Color''' aired in October 2018 as a Jets game preview episode.

== Overview ==
The hosts discuss their New York trip experiences and preview the upcoming Vikings vs Jets game. The episode features extensive mailbag questions covering Jets players, defensive concerns, and various Vikings roster topics.

== Segments ==
; Opening : New York trip thoughts and experiences
; Jets Game Preview : Analysis of upcoming matchup against Sam Darnold and the Jets
; Mailbag : Extensive listener questions covering team analysis and fantasy football

== Mailbag Questions ==
* Per - Which Jet player would you most like to add to the Vikings roster?
* Brett - Do we have any DE's left?
* Luke - Can something be so overrated it then flips and becomes underrated?
* Raul - After Albert Wilson torched the Bears last weekend, he proclaimed himself the "YAC King" to which Golden Tate scoffed. It struck me that proclaiming a true YAC king may be difficult by statistical measure. What is the most accurate measure, and by this measure, who is the true YAC king?
* How will Mike Hughes' injury affect Trae Waynes' contract status?
* Luke Braun - If you were coach Zimmer, what gameplan would you bring to pick on Sam Darnold? What tendencies does he have that create opportunities for big plays?
* John Belk - How worried should I be about our terrible dvoa?
* Kalen - Of the three rookie QBs the Vikings will face so far this season, who has surprised you guys the most?
* Bryan Jellerson - With all these updates about limited participants in practice, I've begun to wonder, can Kevin McDermott ever be considered a full participant again?
* Is Cook potential trade fodder? Do you think he's shown enough when healthy that someone would be willing to give up some early round draft picks? At this point I'd almost be more upset to see Tay go based on reliability alone.
* Aggromagnet - how worried should Arif be going into this week's 2nd place game using an unproven waiver wire kicker.
* Channing Tater - If TD celebrations are really important, why hasn't anyone done spin the bottle? When Cousins spins the 'bottle' why should it always be pointing to Flip? Would this step up their celebration game?
* Joe Schneider - Which player if injured for the rest of the season would be the most devastating besides Cousins? And could you make an argument that 1&2 behind Kirk would be Theilen and Diggs?
* Kyle Slaybee - So Shadow Coverage Matrix is the newest XMan villain, who would round out the new Brotherhood of Mutants?
* Don from Ohio - How many pizza places will you two try?
* Since it is pretty clear James made a deal with Satan so he could win the Norse Code FFL. In doing so part of the deal was the Vikings would have significant injuries/issues throughout the year. Since all members of Norse Code are a part of each others teams is Arif OK with James' deal with the devil? After this last week how is Arif OK with this?
* Dear Mr. "My brand is so bad I had to file it for bankruptcy" and Mr. "I had to date a mortician to sacrifice bodies for my deal with Satan": I am in the process of moving and I was wondering if you had any tips so not to over stress myself. Keep up the great work.

== Key Bits & Lore ==
* Don from Ohio appears in the mailbag
* Discussion of James' alleged deal with Satan for fantasy football success
* X-Men villain comparisons featuring Arif as Magneto and Don from Ohio as Toad
* References to James dating a mortician
