Did you know that Milwaukee is the only major American city that has elected three socialist mayors?

"Ninja Guy-den"

"Oh-nee-moo-sha"

"fox-anna-do"

Not sure about Astyanax. Either "Astahn-axe" or "Ass-tea-an-axe".

Now that I've listened to the Racketboy podcast, it would be foolish for me to not correct myself.

So when SxT was coming out I kept hearing the commercial call it Tea-ken, when I've always thought it was Teh-ken.

You were right, it's not "tea-ken".

It's Greek, so you'd pronounce it like the latter.

I always pronounced "Ys" as "wise", or just "Y.S.".
