Imahara will continue to inspire us all, and it sounds like his and all of your lives really gained something special by being interconnected that will always be with you. Yet again, you two have helped in a rough time just by talking and making all of us here feel a little better. I appreciate you all, and thank you for everything. I could be having the worst day and/or be out of creative oomph (I’m a designer), and if I put on a Tested video or two, it makes all the difference. With that, I want to thank you and Norm for the massive amounts of inspiration I’ve gained from Tested and Mythbusters. What you said at the end really hit home, about making sure friends and family know you love and appreciate them. Also, I’m sorry for the other losses you’ve had to grieve for already this year. I lost a great friend last year who was also too young, and I know I don’t know how you feel, but I can certainly sympathize.
I can’t imagine how you must feel having had such a connection. It’s for those reasons that I guess I feel such a loss over his passing without having ever known him. Not only did I grow up with Mythbusters, but I watch/re-watch it regularly as a constant source of inspiration, enjoyment, and learning. All of you at Tested and from Mythbusters have been so inspiring to me over the years (grew up with Mythbusters), but the common love of geekdom and things (Walt Disney loved saying “things,” so it’s a valid generality) always made me feel I related to you and Mr. Savage, and this was really nice to listen to. I was hoping there would be some stories about Mr. Thank you so much for putting that together. I had sent a sympathy message on Instagram, but I feel compelled to write something here after watching your podcast video.
