Roger Smith Round Table; Converstations at the Roger Smith Hotel
At a round table there are no corners. Conversations occur, ideas are explored, and relationships are built around a round table. The Roger Smith Round Table series brings together 6-8 people to discuss current topics in a purely conversational format. The show takes place in the Penthouse of the Roger Smith Hotel where ideas are shared and relationships are built.

As we head into the fall we look to create a series of round table discussions on a range of topics. The Production and broadcasts will be brought to you by Panman Productions and the Roger Smith Hotel. Be sure to share this with your friends, follow our efforts on facebook and other Social Media platforms. We invite you to engage with us and become part of our culture.

The Panman Report; Spain Wins the World Cup!

The Panman Report; Spain Wins the World Cup!

Roger Smith News; The Panman Report
During my last trip to Spain I learned of the oracle octopus, Pulpo Paul. Apparently a german octopus predicted the victors of every game in the German bracket and eventually predicated Spain to beat Holland in the finals. It was mayhem in Spain as this was their first ever World Cup victory.

“Shoot, for all I know, animals all over the world have always been calling the games….. Pulpo Paul is the man”
Phoebe Knowles

The owner of Pulpo Paul would not sell his golden goose but would the clairvoyant Octopus to a Spanish citizen with the understanding that his transportation costs would be covered and that they would not prepare “A la plancha”.

Talk about an Xtreem Fan

What is the strangest Sports tradition that you know of? While in Spain, I purchased Spain World Cup Soccer limited edition Tshirts that I will present to the first five people who share their story in the comments section of this blog.
