[@thamike17]

its kind of wild, i barely pay attention to the details of this show, occasionally its a funny Vince story or an anecdote from the 90s but otherwise, im wholly entertained by the story telling that ive missed for the past 5 years, thanks for doing this Tommy and Rob

[@cz456]

I gotta ask, as a fan of Ten Minute Podcast, is Tommy's last name pronounced how Will Sasso said it (Blotch-a) or how Rob says it (Blagh-ha)? It's been on my mind since episode one lol

[@mixedmartialoddest]

It's pronounced NO JOKE.

[@TFTAttitudeEra]

It's pronounced the way it's pronounced here, as I made sure to ask Tommy how to say it properly. -Rob
