...is one of the richest men in southern California and a well-known philanthropist and patron of the arts. He pronounces his last name "Brode," not "Brawd," like the synonym for "wide." How often do you think he has to correct people on the pronunciation of his name? Several times a week?
"Table for... Brawd? MR. BRAWD? "
"No, no, no. It's pronounced 'Brode.' "
"Huh?"
"My last name. It's pronounced 'Brode.' "
"Whatever. Your table is ready, sir."
It has to drive him nuts.
