In this episode, Shawn and David discuss the rise of Sigurd of the House of Volsung in chapter 17 and 18 of the saga. Firstly, with him raising an army to battle the rival family of the Volsungs (the sons of Hunding) and his father's killer, King Lyngvy. We then discuss the very anti-climatic "fight" between Sigurd and Fafnir, along with the much cooler conversation between the two after Sigurd mortally wounds the dragon.
Fafnir has some advice of his own for Sigurd on his brother Regin's true character. The pair also discuss the idea of wealth and one's purpose in life. What made Fafnir inherit an ungodly amount of riches only to decide to live with it in his seclusive lair. Why didn't he decide to like buy a soccer team or a social media website or something?
