đŸ’ȘHOTLINE: The Best Comebacks Yet

‱

Nick & Jack share the best comebacks yet. In business, from us personally, and from you. Because TBOY hotline is where you’re in the CEO seat, so we’ve got the operator ready, with some fantastic voicemails to share.


  1. When Nick got cut from the lacrosse team and when Jack split up with his girlfriend he’d moved in with.
  2. When a big media biz backed out of a deal with us on the day we were supposed to sign.
  3. Your comebacks: You got fired, you got sick, you got injured, and your comebacks are inspirational
