One of the most heart-breaking things about owning a dog is their accelerated life cycle. Dogs don’t last that long, relative to humans. Nicholas Dodman edited Good Old Dog, which talks about how to be a good and effective owner of an aging dog. He joined Robert today. Click through for the podcast.
Suzyn Waldman is the color analyst for the New York Yankees. In addition to being a female sports broadcasting pioneer, she has worked as an actor. She joined Robert in studio today in Manhattan. Click through for audio.
Once upon a time, the New York Knicks were a successful NBA franchise, consistently competitive, and often in contention for the NBA championship. The team president during those halcyon days was the wise and benevolent Dave Checketts. He is currently the chairman of SCP Worldwide.
Checketts joined Robert in studio in Manhattan today. Podcast after the jump.
Howard Beck writes about the NBA for the New York Times. On the show with Robert today, Beck said Carmelo Anthony is overrated, and that Dwight Howard disappears in big moments. Provocative stuff! Listen to the podcast after the jump.

You may not like soccer. You might think it’s weaksauce, and Euro, and full of foppish floppers. I don’t care. This is awesome.
Michael Vick is going on Oprah. Orpah’s audience is predominantly female, white, and over 55. I’m guessing this is the group that is the least impressed by Vick’s PR renaissance since his release from federal prison. It’s an antiquated term, but Thursday’s Oprah show is appointment television, whether you like it or not.
I’m trying to think of ways this scenario could be MORE English. It’s pretty gosh-darn English already:
A guy had his car die in a roundabout. Then David Beckham stopped to help. Then John Lennon and William Shakespeare showed up with Neville Chamberlain, and they all played an impromptu match of footy. I’m kidding about the third thing. But still.
Here’s some advice to all the young people out there who hope someday to be pseudo-bourgeois enough to take up and maybe even enjoy golf:
Don’t break the rules.
Learn golf etiquette, and follow it.
Fear the Marshall as you would God.
Did you know golf is the highest expression of civilization? According to golfers, it IS.
Tiger Woods spat on a putting green over the weekend. All kidding aside, it’s incredibly tacky. This one guy thinks people are overreacting, but come on! You can’t spit on a putting green. You just can’t. Video of the gauche act after the jump.
