She never digs deep into what is actual... more

    Tom, I love your podcast. I’ve been listening to ever since that shathole let you go and you started this new gig. As a matter of fact, I’ve listened to you for so long (literally 30+ years) that you feel like a long lost family member. You are truly the best in the biz. Don’t change a thing.

    P.S., you need to do a few more public appearance before you ride off into the sunset.

    Your loyal listener,

    Pat (Another poor kid from MPLS)
