TriviaNYC Podcast #40: The Burrito Fart Of Defeat Edition
Well, it turns out, to quote someone famous only in the sporting realm, they were who we thought they were. The United States Men’s National Soccer Team, ranked 14th in the world going into the world cup, made it to the round of 16 before losing to the Ghanaians. It happens, and it may be disappointing, but statistically, they did not disappoint. And hey, they did do better than the French, the Italians and the North Koreans. So that’s good.
So we were who they thought they were. Things are often what they seem. Black is the new black, 40 is the new 40, Glenn Beck is a raving junkie who doesn’t believe a word coming out of his own mouth, and more mountains are moved by spite than by glaciers. I’m kind of okay with that. Everything is where it belongs again. Go Mets.
Enjoy the podcast.

One other note from the podcast: Pud Galvin, the first pitcher to win 300 games, as well as the first to be caught using performance enhancing drugs, got his nickname from the fact that he would reduce the batters he faced to pudding. Despite that, his nick is pronounced to rhyme with “mud,” not “good.” But still.
Have a great week.
