My wife has a friend who is friends with Penn’s wife, Emily (how’s that for a six degrees connection). I have met Penn & Teller twice after their Vegas show. They seemed way cool before this, and their personal attention to Joe adds several million cool points to their score.

Chris does owe P&T some tasty food … look at Penn and know that he’s not a man to turn down a meal

Of course nice one to Penn and Teller as well. There’s not many celebrities that you hear of will do something like this.

Leann, that was a wonderful thing! Way to milk those contacts! I’m sure karma is raining all over you and Penn and Teller now.

So, now that P&T have had a chance to chat with Joe…

What we need to do now is concentrate on a way to get Jenna Jameson to deliver Joe a pizza!

Leann – you’re my hero! That was awesome that you were able to grant one of Joe’s wishes.

And kudos to Penn and Teller for taking the time to contact Joe, as well. Wow.

Like I posted yesterday – Joe is one supremely lucky guy to be surrounded (sometimes virtually) by such quality folks. I’m glad to hear that this brought him some happiness and energy and excitement.

Good job, guys!

Leann’s a damn Superheroine! That was Brilliant!

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Echoing the thanks to Leann and Thomas for being fortunately enough to have the ability to pull this off, and the love and concern to make it happen. Y’all rock.

And clearly to Penn and Teller as well, for taking the time from their overfull schedules to brighten the life of a stranger, to a depth they may never comprehend. Y’all rock.

I am vastly happy for Joe.

What was that about podcasting changing the world?

Yeah, I was a big fan of Penn’s show, but, alas, I discovered it three weeks before the last ep. Ah, Irony.

You know, that’s just brilliant. When Penn Jillette had a podcast (of a CBS radio show that’s been cancelled, dammit), I was surprised and amazed to find out that he seems to be a really nice guy. Yeah, he’s a horndog, but so what?

Way to go, Leann. And many thanks to Penn and Teller, and much love to Joe.

Ooh, a thought: Penn and Teller getting goodies from Chris the Cheescake Lady…?

Pretty sure that neither Penn nor Teller drink, so beer is right out…

By: Leann

Totally Mike. And let us not forget my buddy Thomas in Vegas who hand delivered my note to Penn and Teller that night.

HE totally took time out of his evening to do that favor for me. How freakin’ cool is that!

And YES total props to Penn and Teller. Teller was SUCH a nice guy on the phone when he called, and was so understanding and cool. He even called me back after speaking with Joe to let me know he go through to him.

My friend Thomas is going to whip up something to take to them as a thank you for doing this, so if you want to add something or whatever let me know and I will get you in touch with him.

Awesome props to Leann, Penn and Teller. You guys just racked up 100,000 good karma points each. Now’s your chance to go rob a bank or something, you’re forgiven. Keep smiling, Joe!

Damn…that’s Kick-Ass! Thanks Leann (and yeah…Thanks to Penn and Teller too!)

Not to take anything away from what Leann accomplished, but we should also say thanks Penn and Teller for being to ones to be the catalyst for Joe’s improved state of being.
That was a great and wonderful thing the guys did by making themselves available for something of this nature.

See kids, this is how you use your power for good.

I have such a case of the warm-fuzzies just knowing something I pulled off, and still don’t know how, , made Joe smile, and brought a little joy to him.

All I did was know the right people, and just asked. That’s all it took. I am still freaked out it went so smoothly.

I have been glowing all day yesterday and again this morning, just the feeling I was able to do something that had such an impact for Joe brings a tear to my eye.

For real.

Don’t know how you did it Leann, but it’s quite amazing. Many thanks for arranging this.

Talk about setting the bar pretty high! Great job, Leann. You rock!

Leann. I can’t put it better than in the original post. You do indeed rock.

It’s amazing the power something like this can actually have. I could not be in enough awe that you managed to make this happen and in how much of a difference it has made.
