According to his description, the recording picks up after his wife had already been on the line for 10 minutes.

For visual reference, this is what Block looks like when he's just hanging out being his regular self:

This is an artist's rendering of what the Comcast employee looks like:

1. Comcast: "Help me understand why you don't want faster internet?"

Block: "Help me understand why you won't just disconnect us."

2. Comcast: "It sounds like you don't want to go over this information with me."

Block: "I am declining to state why we are leaving Comcast because I don't owe you an explanation."

3. Comcast: "I'm just trying to figure out here what it is about Comcast service that you're not liking?"

Block: "This phone call is actually an amazing representative example of why I don't want to stay with Comcast."

4. Comcast: "We can offer a faster service than anyone can provide you. Why don't you want those services?"

"I am just a customer, calling in, attempting to disconnect service."

5. Comcast: "So you don't want a good service?"

Block: "Are you punking me right now?"

6. Comcast: "No one else can guarantee their speed like we can! Mkay! I can save you almos—no over a hundred dollars a month!"

Block: "Are you done?"

7. Comcast: "Service! Service! Service! Service! Service! Service!Service! Service! Service! Service! Service! Service!Service! Service! Service! Service! Service! Service! Service! (Ok we'll disconnect you...) Service! Service! "*

8. Block: "Confirmation in 3 weeks? Ok, whatever bye."

Comcast released a statement apologizing profusely. Block tweeted that he wanted the company to take the call seriously but not fire the representative (whose name has been taken out of the recording.)
