| 0:00.0 | So Bob, Bob-asode emails, what do you say? |
| 0:03.1 | Yeah, let's do it. |
| 0:04.2 | This first email, anonymous patron, she says, |
| 0:06.6 | I just want to thank Bob for sharing what he goes through |
| 0:10.7 | and modeling a healthy way to experience these tough feelings. |
| 0:14.9 | He allowed all of us to be empathetic listeners to him. |
