Matt- You did it again: "Katie Delecky" @ 22:27. I sentence you to repeating her name correctly 100 times before your next podcast.

Man...
…it’s amazing that I’m still getting paid to do this. Good idea about repeating her name until I break this unbelievable propensity for butchering a name that’s not even that difficult.

Love how you are embracing the haters
I’m not saying DocScottDavis is a hater by any means. But the fact that someone on the internet took the time to make the hashtag #MattVassarSucks and you just embraced it so much that now even your fans are using it is some serious public communications judo. . . . It almost feels like you should teach a class on this sort of stuff.

Many thanks, my man!
The haters may not realize that they’re responsible for all of the show’s best content!
