'''Norse Code Episode 501''' was a preview episode featuring Lions week coverage.

== Overview ==
The episode featured a preview of the upcoming Lions game with guest Jeremy Reisman from the PODcast, followed by an extensive mailbag segment covering topics ranging from game strategy to hypothetical scenarios and food debates.

== Segments ==
; Opening : Introduction and show updates
; Lions Game Preview : Discussion with Jeremy Reisman of the PODcast
; Mailbag : Extended listener questions segment

== Mailbag Questions ==
* Jack Rackham - Has there been any consideration for having Greg Joseph push Mullens for future "sneaks"? Not sure Brandon Powell has what it takes.
* Paul - The lions have done pretty well against opposing RBs this year. Has that been largely due to personnel, defensive scheme, or game flow?
* A second jet has hit drew bledsoe - For the, "it's lions week so I get to be in the mailbag regardless" corner: Lions safety IFFY Mel-a-fong-wu (ifeatu melifonwu) is represented by the Italian Stallion of sports agents, sean stellato. However, CJGJ is back at practice and will most likely take iffy's spot. How do you balance the raw talent of CJ against the Stellato power buff that Iffy gets in who should play?
* Vikesfan33 - Is Michael Pen-ix a fit in the KOC offense? And do you think he would be worth a 1st round selection?
* Damian Barrett - Does the shohei ohtani deal set any precedence for sports outside of baseball? Could you see an NFL team try to implement something similar with a Mahomes level talent?
* Should the Hell League have a punishment for the team who comes in last place? A body pillow perhaps?
* Nick Howard - For the food corner I would like arif to argue why Christmas turkey is the superior turkey to Thanksgiving turkey
* Deez - Mr. Beast recently survived 7 days buried underground. How long could Arif last before his mind becomes mush and he starts ranting about Brock Purdy's MVP candidacy?
* Pessimistic MN Sports Fan - For Arif's punishing other people's children corner: at daycare today my toddler was pushed over by another kid resulting in a bump on his head. Given @ArifHasanNFL's experience in this area, how does he recommend I deal with the kid who pushed him? And will people clap for me when I follow through on his recommendation?
