Summary

Now wait a minute. We've got, like, a real sports episode this week, and our favorite Mersey menuvl is joining us. We're thrilled to have back our dear friend Roger Bennett! Roger, of course, is the head honcho at the Men in Blazers Media Network, where he hosts the podcast of the same name and is one of the foremost voices in the soccer world. His new book, We Are the World (Cup): A Personal History of the World's Greatest Sporting Event, is a must read for not only any sports fan but also any fan of memoirs. It's poignant, funny, and so worth your time! Roger helps Ronna (& Bryan) give advice, in his usual high/low fashion, to a woman trying to set boundaries with her artist mother and to a man who's wondering what the tipping etiquette is when you flirt with the waiter to get free stuff.
