Brian explores the legend of the Brazilian striker Ronaldo, possibly the most gifted player ever to kick a ball, and his triumphant return from injury at the 2002 World Cup. We'll also discuss the warped poetry of 1950s American tourist movies, the Rio bus system, and how to secure a hypoallergenic hotel room in Austria (spoiler alert: you can't).
