Hi Nick,
I just wanted to thank you for this podcast with Rob for a very different reason.I grew up with Rob as a kid and was just really missing him and hearing his voice today. Since he passed back in 2016 it’s been really hard to find his voice anywhere. When I came across this podcast, I literally did a happy dance! Thank you so much for still having his voice available even though he’s been gone a long time! Thank you SO much, Nick, it meant so much for me to hear him again! Blessings to you and yours!
