Howdy I don't really have a question, but I didn't really have one the last time I saw you.
Kind of a story. You did a show up in Stevens Point, Wisconsin a week or so prior to your show about things that happen that week (you actually asked people to pitch ideas since you guys didn't have enough stories so far.) The in person show was fantastic, and if anyone is wondering what he is like in person. He was great, after the show there was a small line to meet him and with every person he would hold a genuine conversation, albeit short, but it was very cool. Every person he would answer questions, ask about their thoughts and get to know them. I was expecting a very run of the mill thing, but he really was thoughtful about it all.
Then it was my turn and I didn't have a wonderful question, or anything but I just wanted to tell you how great and amazing your show is. TAL really has changed my life. I started listening to it in my early 20's and it help me start to see the world outside my own perspective. TAL was and still is really important to me because it illuminated my world in ways in which allowed me to mature and become more emphatic to the world around me.
What was funny was that I had this whole idea in my head of how I wanted to communicate that to you. I've done stand-up, I'm fine with public speaking but my god I couldn't get the words out of my mouth other then "I really like the show, it's really important to me." Before I was on the edge of tearing up and I literally couldn't find the words to say to you.
We talked about how I listen to you while I do programming and that was surprising to you and got your signature. I walked away from that very happy to finally meet you, though sad knowing I never was able to express how big of a role TAL started me on this journey of becoming a better, more well rounded person.
I'm sorry again that I don't have a question, but at least over text I can find my words. So, thank you. Thank you for this wonderful work you've done, thank you for the wonderful show that you and your work mates put together. All I wanted was to thank you properly.
