Brian Greene

You tackled highbrow concepts with lowbrow humor.

This is where I heard this from.

You injected sharp, sophisticated satire into sophomoric jokes.

You never let it go to your head, and you always knew exactly where your place was.

You were in on the joke, and that meant I was in on the joke.

And I was starting to feel something that I was desperately missing.

Something that got ripped away from me in a moment's notice.

A sense of comfort, of humor, of belonging.

Excuse me, I'm getting choked up here.

A sense that I was a part of something bigger than myself.

And I know this sounds spiritual, and maybe it is, but it's the truth.

Frankly, you're not always the funniest comedy podcast out there.

You don't always have the most interesting topics.

Your guest interviews are not always the most organized or in-depth.

Your show can be scattered and muddy.

But that is exactly why we all love it.

You are literally building the plane while you're flying it.

It is living and breathing and organic.

It is sloppy and sharp and confused and focused and hapless and perfect and a total train wreck where the wheels happen to stay on the track.

Your show is all of those things, all of those things that we need and a lot of the things we don't.
