Re: A Split Vs. The Splits
Thanks everybody for responding. This is fascinating. We may be discussing this on the podcast, so can we ask for another favor?
If you have a chance, could you leave us a voicemail with your answer? You know, something like “I’m [NAME] from [PLACE] and it’s called [WHATEVER YOU CALL IT].
Our number is: 1-800-424-2935. That’s 1-800-GAG-AXE-5.
