Loved it.  I really liked the variety of different segments, the phone call with Jenn Kirkman was really cool.

Good on ya PFT

Loved it. I got a thrill at the talk of drunkenness at the Montreal comedy fest - because I live in Montreal, and I love to drink!

I second everything but the Montreal part.

Don't know the place.

Doubled over laughing at the google voicemail transcripts, could not stand up straight until well after they were over, oh my lord.

I don't know what everybody's raving about, it's not even three hours long.

No, I haven't. What is it? I can't even google it, because 'spectacle' means 'big show' in French, so I get a bunch of irrelevant (I assume) results back.

I also love hearing Eban Schletter playing piano on it. It adds so much to the overall production value.

As a person who works in the field of speech recognition software, I found the Google Voice transcripts segment utterly priceless.

SO funny! I love how he prefaces it with how he hopes they NEVER fix it and how much it delights him.
