Carolyn Miller – :
The introductory portion of the show has a great soliloquy from Tim Jerome as a French-accented comedian. I love his deadpan delivery. It devolves into a strange conversation between Joe and a disarming call-taker on a suicide hotline giving warm advice to Joe to prevent him from taking his own life. Then it moves upward again with Joe cold-calling his old girlfriends and singing to them. The best part of this episode is the Jerome portion in the beginning. I don’t think the suicide hotline part particularly worked, but on the whole it’s an entertaining episode and worth the price of admission.
