Viking Helmet

Here's a fascinating reference to a Viking helmet in a podcast context. In an episode of the Tim Ferriss Show, Sebastian Junger recounts a vivid bar fight in Spain centered around a cheap plastic Viking helmet. The altercation began when a Moroccan man accused a Spaniard of stealing the helmet, leading to a chaotic tug-of-war. Eventually, the situation was defused in a rather unique fashion by filling the helmet with red wine and sharing it among the combatants, turning potential violence into a moment of unity and camaraderie 1.
