As a Canadian living in the US who discovered TAL a short while before arriving here I absolutely love that show.

Also, I can confirm what David Rakoff said: I wait exaclty 0.167 seconds after someone mentions a Canadian before just interjecting with "CANADIAN!"

Hi Jesse,

Love JJGO and really loving this series. Also thank you for creating the awesome Maximum Fun network. It's given me literally 1000s of hours of entertainment.

Question: Despite the revelation of him being a terrible human being, I always thought Jian Ghomeshi was a good interviewer. He got really famous for that incident with Billy Bob Thorton. As an interviewer, how did you feel about that incident, and has anything you've learned from the Turnaround made you change your mind about that (or any other things for that matter)?

Your podcast is the best and really got me through some tough times.

You guys mention your history in the Baptist church. Are any of you still regular church goers? To what extent do you think your advice is motivated by your religious upbringing vs how much have your views fundamentally changed compared to perhaps when you were more religious?

(I'm an atheist and personally don't care who goes to church or believes or whatever, but I find your take on life is very humanist, and I'm curious about its origins).
