Art Show! Join Wenger and Brian for a recap of Wenger's Art Show! It was a combination of chutzpah and fanciness brought to light by Mrs Wenger's appetizers. Paul is away, probably explaining soccer to some poor soul who dared ask about relegation.
This is Episode 104 and not Episode 102 for a third straight time.

A very special episode indeed. The Managing Expectations Podcast is very pleased (read surprised) that we have been at this thing for 100 episodes. We thank you for your support and for following along. We are joined by Paul Southern and one of our favorite people, Chris Levine of the Refresher Pop Culture Therapy podcast.

Wenger is solo and talks about covering the handover of Hong Kong from the British to China in June 1997 and the state of play in the current moment. What people want of good government, what people will do when they're free to do as they please, and threats and rumors of wars.

Jeff and Brian are joined once again by the smoothed voiced pitchman, Paul. Jeff is in a bad mood, so Brian and Paul do their very best to try to cheer him up by discussing some relevant topics. Things like Madonna, Phil Collins, Steely Dan, and the Cantina Scene from THE FIRST EPISODE OF STAR WARS.
