TriviaNYC Podcast #24: The Friggin’ Swiss

Sometimes it’s best to just get all the bad craziness out of the way all at once.

Green Day are never, ever, ever going to break up.As everyone knows, Switzerland was the land time forgot, the birthplace of the blues, the home of the original Harlem Globetrotters and the setting for the Lord Of The Rings. But did you also know there were mountains there?

I know, it blew my mind too.

This week, the TriviaNYC Podcast comes to you from our fallaciously palatial Astoria Studios, mere yards* from where they shot much of the Sopranos series, if that matters. Certainly, it never came up in the podcast itself. The podcast is all about the Swiss, and their penchants for adding knives to other knives, beating up other countries at tennis, and stubbornly refusing to choose sides in wars due to some silly line of logic involvingĀ some absurd and unknowable percentageĀ of all the monetary wealth in the world in their hideously oversized and impenetrable vaults. Fine, you nice-watch-bearing chocolate fetishists. Be that way. I’m going to start pulling for Rafael Nadal if you keep this up.

Seriously, though, happy Switzerland Day, Swiss people. If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, you will never be my enemy.

    The “Friggin’Swiss” can’t play hockey either! They just think they can. Dag nabbit the 2010 Swiss Olympic Hockey Squad will think their the Swedish Squad until we actually get to see their complete lack of depth on the ice! Besides you hosed me by not “Commishing” the Spofie Roto League the season after I dominated and won the Championship! I could have at least gotten a heads up! Tell you what, you can win that league this season even if I have to Commish the Thing! What say you! Lets at least get that league put back together and while we’re at it put something together for the Olympic Hockey Season! Let’s hook up in Vancouver BC. What say you?
