OMG You Gotta Watch This TV Show

...
Dhani Tackles the Globe


From the Travel Channel:
Dhani Jones experiences Swiss culture when he visits the tiny country to participate in the sport of schwingen, a type of folk wrestling dating from the 13th century in which opponents attempt to topple each other on their backs.

I learned about Schwigen-ing. "Schwinging". News to me. Oh, did I mention that it takes place in a ring 6 inches deep in sawdust. Too much!

But the thing that's compelling about this show is Dhani. I guess he's maybe an NFL guy? I don't know. But he is incredibly engaging. And willing to try everything from fondue making to snowboarding, swimming in a 60 degree river to yodeling. All with a ecstatic grin that covers half his very handsome face.

WATCH THIS SHOW!
Monday nights at 9 Central on the Travel Channel.
