Tom Phillips: Hi. My name is Tom Phillips, and my full name is Thomas Theodore Phillips III because I was named after my father who was named after his grandfather, and he was actually named after his grandfather, but his father's name was Elmer, so it screwed up the whole line, so my name's Tom. It's Welsh. It means "ordinary," which is hilarious because I feel like I'm anything but.
