Reply All changed my life.
Ok, this is a throw away for obvious reasons.
Reply All is my #1-of-all-time-most-favourite-podcast. Everything is awesome. My favorite episode is Surefire Investigations; I've listened to it at least 5 times. I laugh so hard that I cry.
So. I am a teacher at a new High School. For those of you who live under a rock, teenagers can be misserable, moody and generally horrible people, especially if they don't know you. Being that they generally don't trust anyone under 30, walking into a new school can be soul sucking to start. Until they get to know you, dealing with them can be very diffiult and unpleasent.
Anyway. Last week I was talking to a student about Mogul. I recomended it after they were playing 2LiveCrew in class to get a rise out of me. I told them that anything by Gimlet is good. A 2nd kid perks up, "Gimlet! Reply All"! Instant bonding. We chatted for 2 minutes and shared some favourite episodes. And now I am suddenly the cool teacher and they bring me treats and show me where Afroman signed their shirts.
So to u/replyallalex, thanks! We all know that you are having a tough time and I just wanted to let you know that the podcast actually has a positive influence on my life. Nuts to all the people complaining. Because of Reply All, my job got just a little bit (a lot bit) better this week.
