This podcast is a work of art. It's the best one yet-- lean, unsparing in its aim, and drop-dead funny. Will Franken will never exceed this peak moment-- a perfect intersection of life and art. The personal moments are unflinchingly acute (police being called to mediate a domestic disturbance over "personal space"). And the political humor is just as unrelenting (Al Gore being labeled "900 million years ahead of his time"). Bravo. This is a sad, beautiful, poignant, brilliant, and hilarious work. A tour de force.
hooray for new podcast. will your show is so fucking brilliant. one of the best things on the internet.

The personal space bit is painfully accurate. We're all fucked, or will be very shortly.

I agree this one is especially great. Nothing realer, sadder or funnier than heartbreak.

i love the music from "once upon a time in the west" and "for a few dollars more." hearing charleton heston tell michael moore to "get the fuck out of my house" to the sounds of ennio morricone was hilarious and incredibly satisfying. was that a parody of arlo guthrie at the end? he used to be my neighbor, wierd. love the morrison samples.

Not Arlo Guthrie--are you talking about the Lou Reed "Street Hassle"?
Cool pick-up on the Morrison sample. Roadhouse Blues following Vivaldi. . .I should have a contest. Somebody else picked up a really obscure Butthole Surfers reference in one of these things.
