-Oh! Shut up! I'm so not your hero. -Good. ♪♪ -Gotta go. Gotta go. -Welcome to the set of, uh... What? Vikings? What are we -- I don't know what this one's called. Today we will be, uh, pillaging. I got Cool Viking, and, uh, Jeremy is Bald Monk. -I'm playing a monk. [ Screams ] Everybody gets to be a hot-ass Viking, and I'm half bald, and I'm about to do my first -- My hands are about to be cut off, which is gonna be so cool. -I'm gonna add one more magnet. It's really heavy, so one more magnet will hold it in place. Hopefully it'll work. -Aah! Half of my hand! -I'm playing Einer Nopenis. I have so many layers on and I'm so hot.

It's pretty cool. -You mean this cool pose? -Yes! -Oh! -Legend, bro.
