Roger Bennett’s Favorite Things

“I adore New Balance and have a vast collection. 991s, 9992s, 1300’s, Allerdales, I love them all. They are like joy on your feet.”

“I live Yeti everything. Backpacks, stackable cups, luggage, the works. I love the pinks. I love the teal. This is the cup I use on stage for all our live shows.”

“I wrote this book so that if you have watched past World Cups, reading it will help you relive your most transcendent memories, and if you haven’t – but are planning on feasting on World Cup 2026 – it will make you feel like my memories are already yours.”

“A pair of Clark’s Wallabees have been on my feet since I could first walk as a child. They are my Proust’s madeleine.”

“My dog is an Italian truffle hound. A Lagatto Romagnolo. I wanted to give him the name of a great Italian: Martin Scorsese. I buy everything I can personalize from Orvis because it just gives me such joy to see the Scorsese name attached to something I love as profoundly as I do his movies.”

“I am a very keen but very ill-informed bird watcher. Whenever I hike with the dog, I carry these beauties. They are perfect to fumble with while trying to fire up my bird call app in a well-intended but deeply ineffective fashion.”

“This is one of the most meaningful objects I own. There is such a connection between family images and family memory. This beauty ensures those memories will never die.”

“I love this little store in Bedford and visit often. They have a black belt in Tweed.”

“The greatest. I have this album on set looking down on me, because it reminds you that no matter how sad you are when your football team loses, there are worlds of pain much worse, and Tracy knows them all.”

“This watch company is out of my hometown of Liverpool. They have become massive in England because they have fused high end finishing and movement with a new model that is direct to consumer. The fact that they sponsor Everton, the club I love, sealed the deal for life.”
