Tim welcomes Louis J. Gomez and they riff on why Louis insists on the middle initial J, tracing it back to Louis practicing autographs as a kid, plus a bit about the letter J stopping words nicely like Donald J. Trump.
- Louis J. Gomez insists on the importance of the 'J' in his name, even though Tim keeps forgetting it.
- The 'J' comes from childhood autograph practice—Louis was rehearsing a famous signature he'd supposedly give to people one day.
- The 'J' just looked good between his first and last name, creating a satisfying visual stop in the signature.
- Tim notes the 'J' format works like Donald J. Trump—a middle initial that separates and elevates the full name.
