Speaker 2 (00:16):
Links available in the episode description. All Right, here we are.
I am Susie Esmond and.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
You are who Jeff Garland.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I knew that.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And this is season five, episode six, the Smoking Jacket.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I got mixed feelings about this episode.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
It's a weird episode.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, there's some very funny things in it.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
No, no, no, And by the way, it's not me
disliking the episode. It's just a bit strange. And when
we get to the different things that are strange, I'm
going to ask you questions.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, okay, good.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So we start out it's Larry's birthday and he's blowing
out candles, which is very nut like him. He doesn't
like the happy birthday song, like the blowing out of
the candles. And it's Larry, Cheryl and Jap, it's the
three of you. And you say to him, what did
you wish for? And he says it's personal, and you say,
I know what you wish for, and you are absolutely
correct on this. You wish that Louis Lewis would die.
(01:14):
Now we set up, let's just establish. We set up
in the last episode that Lewis Lewis, who is Richard
Lewis's cousin, is in a coma and he's not expected
to survive. But if he doesn't survive, he will be
giving Louis one of his kidneys, and he's a relation,
so that means they'll probably match. We don't know for sure.
And Larry denies it. He said no, no, no, no no.
(01:35):
And Cheryl agrees with you. She thinks that that's what
he wished for as well. And he absolutely did wish
for that. I'm certain of that. And then Jeff gives
a gift and when he gives you the you hand
him over the wrap box and he smacks you.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I love that scene. He smacks you, and he's like,
it's good to have a big friend.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
To smack, and he starts smacking you know, and he
tells Cheryl to smack you.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's just funny.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, And then you guys fight over the wrapping because
he's kind of being a little feeble trying to get
it unwrapped, and you want to grab it, unwrap it.
And I always feel used to feel that way with
the kids. They were like such poor unwrappers. And I
always wanted a Christmas just grab everything and just do it.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But it didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And you got him a green sports jacket, like a
bright kelly green, like the Masters.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Like the Masters, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Not a particularly great looking color, no, but it's the Masters.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Otherwise it would be insane.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
And Larry loves it. It's the best birthday he ever had.
And then he says to Cheryl, I don't you don't
have a gift. What's up with that?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You don't have it?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And Cheryl says, she has a gift. It's on hold.
She just has to confirm it, and you're gonna love it.
And doorbell rings and who's there? Cousin Andy comes in
with all his luggage, came to visit.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Completely unexpected for me remembering, and then as the episode
went on, I was like, oh, yeah, that's right he was, Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Of course I didn't remember.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Anyway, his enthusiasm when he comes in as actually Richard
being very enthusiastic. Yes, Richard's so happy to be doing
the scene. He's probably waiting when the door's closed, like focusing, focusing,
But he's so damn happy.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
He does love doing the show. I know that.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And he comes in with luggage, Happy birthday, has your dad,
and Larry establishes to him that NAT's starting to forget
things and he's not what he used to be and
he's having memory problems. And cousin Andy says, at least
it's not the hip, which wade me laughed. At least
it's not the hip, because once the hip goes, it's
all downhill from there. And you tell Larry and Andy
(03:39):
that you're invited. Hugh Hefner invited you to a party
at the Playboy Mansion. Does the Playboy Mansion still exist, Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But I don't know in what way. I believe it's
still owned by Hugh Hefner. And by the way, as
we go on with the talking about this episode, I
will tell you my adventures at the Playboy.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I can't wait to hear.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And Larry says, you said you want to go, and
he says, no way, she won't let me, you know,
meaning Cheryl, and Andy says, I'd love to go, and
he grabs a magazine off the little phone table there,
and he goes into the bathroom and it's an US magazine.
And before he goes into the bathroom, Larry says to
ask him if his parents ever mentioned that he was adopted,
(04:24):
anything about the adoption, But to Andy's like, no, no,
you're crazy, No, you weren't adopted.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
On and on and then we.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Hear a flush and Richard comes out and he puts
the magazine back on the little phone table and he says,
I'm gonna go say hi to Cheryl.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You imitate him, You do a good Richard.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
In the other room with charyon Yeah, and I want
to go to the Playboy mansion.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
And Larry is looking at the US magazine that he
just brought out from the bathroom that he put back
on the table, and he's completely grossed out by it.
And he takes a tissue and he takes it and
he picks it up with the tissue and he throws
it in the garbage, and.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Then he throws the tissue in the garbage. Now this one,
if you know the show, you know this is leading
to something because it's not nuanced. It's really it's a
piece of the scene. So you know it's going to
come back later. That rarely happens, and I'm sure Larry
didn't give a shit when he was writing. It's why
I don't have a problem with it. But usually they're
(05:24):
little teeny things that get bigger and bigger, or this one,
it's something's going to happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Alarms went off.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Next Larry's at the hospital and Louis Lewis is in
bed and the doctor is there, and Louis Lewis isn't
a Coleman.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Who's the doctor?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The doctor is played by I wrote it down James
Pickens Junior.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Which I have run into so many times. And do
you know what TV show he's been on for many years? Don't?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
If he's still on, I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
What's that hospital show?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
You are?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Another shond around? He was on Great he Is, or
was on Grays and Enemy for many years, and that's
after this show. I like to think it's because the show, because.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
He's somehow I don't think so, But that's okay. And
Larry tells him. The doctor asks him who he is,
and he's like, I'm friends with his cousin.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's so lame, you know, that's a.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Thing of beauty and the doctor is kind of hesitant
and he goes, oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well in this episode later on, if I recall, the
doctor is not happy.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But in this episode, the doctor there's.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Some funny shit.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, it goes on.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Actually, one of the things that is mentioned to me
most often is in I believe the next episode, I'm
not positive.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I think so too, And I know what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yes, I mean people always yes.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yes, of course, okay, And he's not doing well. It's
an irreversible coma. And Larry says, how long you think
it's going to be doctor says it could be days, weeks, months,
could be a year.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And Larry's like, are you leading to a days or months?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean if you have to pick one, you know,
so you have a gun to your head, you have
to pick, and the doctor can't pick.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
And larryus what I'm so the.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Mustache in a coma, the mustache.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, this mustache, it continues to grow.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Oh, there's a lady who really know.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
A couple of times, the hospital has a barber.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, she's a nice lady. She clips his mustache.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
She just works within the hospital or.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
In the hospital. Yes, we just try and keep them.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Comfortable and you know, seems a pity though that these
people like they languish like this one.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
The soul is crying too. Oh yeah, I guess you
could look at it that way.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
And he's got all these organs he could be donating,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
What happens to the mustache and the coma and.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It continues to grow, and there's a nurse who comes
and clips it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And Larry was playing Lewis Lewis.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
He was in an improv group with Fred Willard and
I cannot remember the name. They were out of the committee. No,
not the committee. The committee was Dell Close. But he's
in an improper He was the guy in the seventies
who his whole stick was. You can call me Ray, okay,
I know, I forget the gentleman's name.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Well, he does a great comma.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And passed away recently.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Actually, he's terrific in a coma.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well, by the way he is, he's a great look.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah for Lewis Lewis.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
And Larry says, you know, it seems a pity that
he's languishing here when the soul is trying to you know,
as though Larry gives a shit about his soul and
he could be donating his organs. And then the doctor
leaves and Larry somehow is fussing with the cord, you know,
the what do they call the tubes, And all of
a sudden you see the curtain from the next door
(08:41):
person pull open and there's a kid sitting there. That
is Gary Rosenmeier, who's actually been in a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
He's done a lot well.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
By the way, I also want to say, he's really
good from the get go, but his performance grows and
grows and grows during the episode.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It does, and watching him, I was thinking, you know,
we've had a lot of We saw it in the
Larry David Sandwich episode, that kid who catches Larry, you know,
spilling the coffee, how great he was and Anton lesser.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
We've had a lot of kids who were really terrific.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
And by the way, in those moments, he reminds me
of W. C. Fields.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Oh really, yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Now. Bob Whitey used to tell Larry all the time
that he reminded him of W. C. Fields. Bob Whitey, one.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Of our directors, would tell that Larry.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, you would tell Larry this to Larry. But I
concur but especially when he's with kids.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
And he says, and he says that, the kid says,
his name is Wilson, and the kid says, I urge
your conversation.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So what you want this guy dead or something.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Listen, that's a very serious thing you're saying. You're practically
calling me your murder. Okay, I'm not pulling any plug,
So come on, enough of that.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Okay, I'm willing to overlook this whole thing.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Oh are you boy?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
That's very nice of you.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I appreciate this.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, you grant my wish? It to make a wish
foundation turned down.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You'll forget about this, you agree? What was this wish
that they wouldn't grant?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I want to see naked woman?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You want to see a naked woman. That's your wish.
They wouldn't grant that wish.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Of course, not imagine going through your whole life without
seeing a naked woman. Hey I almost did so he says, Well,
I can't really help you, But the kid says, hey,
I sneak out all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So whatever that's established.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Next we're home and Cheryl has a package that arrives
for Andy, for cousin Andy, and it turns out it's
from Nat and it's his smoking jacket, and Larry believes
that was a birthday gift for Larry because Nat always
promised Larry he could have the smoking jacket, and he's
confused and he's got to mention he doesn't know what
he was doing.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
By the way, we do discover later on by NAT's
reaction that Larry was right.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yes, but Larry sets up that when they were younger,
they would always give Andy a gift to on his
birthday so they wouldn't feel left out, and he ends
up having a big fight with Andy.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
He didn't send me anything for my birthday. He only
accept the fact that he sent me again, promise me
this jacket.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh did my father? Oh Larry, you're unbelievable. You can't
accept the fact that your father sent me a love.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Because why he has no reason to send it you
it's my birthday.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Because he happens, and Cheryl suddenly cuts in and says,
have you seen my US magazine? Larry tells her he
threw it out, and Cheryl's very upset because she had
written an important phone number down on the magazine, and
Larry's like, well, he took it to the bathroom and
contaminated it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Then he goes back to the fight with Andy.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
He promised me the jacket and they get into a
big fight.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Day. This is my jacket. This is my jacket. This
is my jacket. A lovely scene.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
We'll be right back. Stay tuned, and we're back.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And then Larry and Jeff and Oscar are taking a walk.
Oscar are dog and Larry complains about the jacket. And
then you asked Larry if he's going to the Playboy mansion.
He says he can't, he's in the doghouse. And then
it's established that if you're in the doghouse already, you
might as well get your money's worth. You might as
well have the double transgression theory. Yeah, which I think
(12:21):
is a great theory.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
By the way, I'm going to tell you the truth.
This took only a few takes to film. We were
walking down the street in one of those areas between Brentwood.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Samaelopian and I could tell it was Brentwood.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yes, and so this is one of those scenes that
I tell people about and I probably mentioned on the show.
If it's just Larry and I or you and Larry. However,
it is when it's just one of the two of us,
if you will, it just goes by so fast, it's
like we're done. I think the record is there was
one at a golf club, and I pointed out when
(12:54):
we show that episode, I think we filmed it for
twenty minutes, you know what I mean. And like literally
we've talked about dinner table scenes which take the entire day.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Very long time, yes, because there's a lot of choreography.
And actually the last episode of this season was the
longest day we ever had.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But we'll get there.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
In terms of a dining room episode or just it.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Wasn't a dining room episode. We'll get there.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Hold on, it's longer than the episode when we filmed
at the hospital when Larry dies.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
That is that's the law. That's what I'm talking about.
That's the end of this season.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Oh I think you said the end of last season.
This season. Yeah, by far. By the way, it was
also though, the reason we did it, because.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
We don't ever do that, because it was a set.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
No, it was the last day of shooting for this Also, there.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Was there was a lot had to happen.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
We can control the environment, like.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
For example, all those Shelley in the hospital scenes was
shot that day.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
That happened much earlier.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
It was sometimes when when we have a location like that,
like a hospital setting, you know, you take things from
from different episodes and try to get everything done for
the location, especially that happened during COVID.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That was very difficult during COVID location.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
But this episode is we're talking this is two.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Thousand and five.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah, confused.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
So Larry's wants to know if he could ask Wilson
to go the kid because where else is he going
to see naked women?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
At the Playboy mansion it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
And he comes home and Andy is on the phone
in the smoking jacket, lounging with his leg and let
Larry's like, what is this? My father promised me this
for years, that when I was eleven years old or whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And Andy's just like, can't you move on? He was
so great?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And He's like, we're going to the Playboy mentioned and
Andy begs, begs to go to the Playboy mention and
Larry says, you can go to the Playboy mention. You
got to give me the jacket back, take it to
the dry cleaner, and then you got the four of
you you, Larry, Andy and Wilson pull up in the
Playboy mansion and a.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Says looking and watching is so fucked and funny.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's right. And a voice get to the door.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I've never seen quite that crew and curb, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, of course the there's a voice that says, speaking
to the rock, which.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Made me look And that's Larry Charles's voice.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Oh is it? Okay? I didn't know that. I didn't
recognize it.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And then you're at the mansion and you pass the
gorgeous old Mercedes, and that we see a shot at
the pool and his topless women everywhere, and all of
a sudden Larry walks in and they all cover their
breasts and scream and run away. They freak out seeing Larry.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Now let's talk about that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
We never find out why which killed me. I don't
know if it was on the cutting room floor, whatever
it is. We have no idea why all these playmates
what the reason was? I do not, but there's no
this is a big thing for him.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I agree. I totally agree. It was like why I.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Just pissed it him And Larry says, I don't know,
but I thought we would find out.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, but we don't. We don't. So that's a little
bit of a top fiver of what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, I understand that, yeah, because I had the same reaction.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You know, I can't even imagine what the reason what
it was.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
But usually, Jeff, when something like that happens, it is
later revealed if it's not revealed in the moment, but
it's not in this episode.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Then Larry needs to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
He flushes, he walks out and he sees Hugh Hefner
and two playmates, Bridget and Holly, and they're real there.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
They were on that reality show.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I don't I haven't watched.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Well, there was a reality show on e with Hugh
and his three ladies, what it was called.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I thought he had more than three, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
No, no, no, no, there are plenty of playmates, but in
that show there were three, ok, the's three blonde women.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
And Larry asks him what's that animal running around? And
Hugh tells him it's a flamingo And Larry's like, he's
not very good at identifying birds. He can identify sneakers,
he knows there's all kinds of sneakers, but not birds.
And he sees after he's wearing the smoking jacket that
looks exactly like his father's nats and he tells him,
(17:09):
my father has the same jacket.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
And you know what, this smoking jacket. My father's got
the exact same smoking jacket.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
My doubt it. Doubt it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, well it's an original.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I haven't be imparted from Italy.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Really, it's a ROSSELLI what of a kind?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I don't know, you know what?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I got it right out in the car, boy, I'd
like to see it, would you sure?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Could I go get it?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Sure that?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Stay right here, Okay, I'll go get the smoking jackets.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Stay right here.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And while he's there, we pass Andy flirting with the girl,
which is not realistic to me, not rich your kind
because of any.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Half that moment, because he's later on he's been married
for a long time to his wife. Yes, so at
this point we're not even mentioning a wife like.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
He's No, the wife has not been mentioned yet, and Lisa,
who plays his wife, is amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yes, but when she is entered into the show, it's
as if they've been married for years. And by the way,
I actually do believe because it's funny. Cousin Andy standing
over a centerfold flirting.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
No, I believe he's flirting. It's later on. Well, anyway,
we'll get to that.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
But even later on, I believe that keep going.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Larry goes to the car to get the jacket, and
Wilson is in the car sulking, you ruin my wish.
They ran away from you and we still don't find
out why. And he's like, can me the jacket? And
he fights with the kid, and you know, we see
him hold.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
On with he's wrestling, but then the next shot is
we see him coming in. There's no resolution there, so
we have the resolution when.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He comes in right and hef claims that it's a knockoff.
It's not really a Roselli and he.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Tries it on and Larry's like, wait till my father
hears that you have to put on his mach and
he goes to look, goes to look in the mirror
at it, and he closes the door.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Nobody looks in the mirror and goes, hey, it's close,
but no, not yet.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
It's a knockoff. It's a Korean knockoff.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And he closes the door because he's now going to
go to the bathroom wearing Larry's smoking jacket, and Larry
is with Holly and bridget.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I noticed they got some uh what they got some
monkeys out there?
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Huh Yeah, don't got.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Much pockets in there. Huh too many pockets there.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
We don't need pockets. I couldn't live without pockets. Look,
not a dentist, but I enjoy discussing dental hygiene. Then
monkeys they'll attack you. They'll they'll claw you to death.
I'd say gum stimulation very important, blossing or are people, though,
let's face it, who do have a foot on a problem?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Are you saying I have dirty feet?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Your name is one again?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I forgot Bridgie.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
You are Holly, Holly.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Maybe we should go bowling sometime. I don't think you
want to go bullet with.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Let's pretend to be ventriloquist.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
This is a really funny feeling. I was a few
feet away. You know. We shot about twenty five of
those awkward conversations.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Larry talking about dental hygiene, which is one of his
favorite topics. As we know, pockets maybe he has, and
maybe they want to go bowling. Then he talks about
maybe ventriloquists.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Oh, by the way, the ventriloquism one is hilarious, yes, well,
ventriloquism is always hilarious. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
And then finally we hear a flush and Hefter comes
out of the bathroom and you see Larry is grossed
out and he hands Larry back NAT's jacket where hef'stracket
is over the banister or something. It's hanging somewhere, so
it's over a chair, over a chair, okay, and Larry
switches them because he's grossed out that he went to
the bathroom in NAT's jacket.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Then we cut to Sheryl's the Playboy Mansion, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
And she's all pissed off about it, as he knew
she would be, and she's like, you know, I got
you a birthday president, and the birthday present is that
she got lunch and a round of golf with Gary Player.
And Cheryl's very upset by the way.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I once was invited to the Playboy I got two
things to say, because we just covered it. I was
invited to the Playboy mansion once for a party and Marla,
myley ex wife, my wife at the time, wanted to go,
and I was like the only way in my head,
I'm like the only way I'm going is without her.
Otherwise I am not going. You don't bring your wife
(21:40):
to the Playboy mansion, not that any action will happen. Now,
the other side of the coin, when we were filming
at the play By mansion, we.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Were told to wait so so Jeff that it was
really the Playboy Mansion.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Were we filmed? Yes, Oh yes, that's the way.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I just want to establish that.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Now.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
You see behind them stairs that lead upstairs. When we
were told don't go anywhere except where we're filming backyard this,
I of course completely ignored that. I said, fuck that
my time in the Playboy Mansion, and I went upstairs.
Heff's room the end of the hallway. But along the
way these ladies, the three girls, had their each of
(22:21):
them had a room, and they had stickers all over
their doors like a dorm room. Really, oh, they all
had stickers. One of them was from Philadelphia, all this stuff,
and I thought, that is hilarious. Here's this palatial mansion
and they've done this.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
We'll be right that. Stay tuned, Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
The Playboy Mansion was very worn. It was like if
it shoddy, not quite shoddy, but on it way to shoddy.
And you can see that not one piece of furniture
from the seventies was replaced. It's all the original stuff.
I went into the screening room, the couch, it all looks.
(23:13):
What it basically looks like is that I've gone in
a time machine to the nineteen seventies and I find
myself in an empty mansion. Another thing that I did,
and this is the creepier one. There was a house.
There was this next playmate contest with playmates or best playmate.
There was a house adjacent to the thing, and these
(23:34):
are real playmates and they're all living in this house.
And it turned out a friend of mine, years later
I found out, was literally as a playmate living in
that house. But I remember looking at it like a
little kid, going, I wonder if they go by the
pool naked, I wonder what they do. It was just
a bunch of wondering and yeah, I said, it's creepy.
That's about as creepy as again. But I reverted back
(23:54):
to my twenty year old self, which men are apt
to do. You know, women get mad at men for
a myriad of things, either either women who are distant
and see something or women that are up close men
are boys, you know, you hear that, But we really
do revert in our minds to how we would react
(24:15):
to something, especially in a situation like that. Now, for
the record, I did not see any playmates. I saw nothing.
Then I wandered over to where I've already seen or
we's seen on TV and in pictures, where the pinball
machines were Playboy pinball machines, And it was like there
was an old old screen TV projected TV, and there
(24:38):
were all these beanbags and areas where you could lounge
and make out with each other all around again pure
nineteen seventies. So I'll be damned if I didn't give
myself a tour of the Playboy mansion. But the fact
that we started at the grotto so happy. Ask me
how much money let's say it's filled with playmates, how
(24:58):
much money would take from me to go in the grotto.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
How much money would it take for you to go.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
To Not to have money in the world, because the grotto,
the amount of jism that's floating around that grotto, no.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Thank you, you could get pregnant.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
No, But I just thought, this is the most unsanitary
place maybe on earth. And by the way, speaking of Laura,
there was this one area you could walk to on
the inside of the grotto, and I took pictures of her.
I don't know where they are right now. You know
she's fully clothed, but of her relaxing in the grotto.
It was very fun to do that, so.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Basically Laura as one of our executive producers.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Yeah, but what I'm saying is, I'll be damned if
I didn't have a good time and do all the
things that I would have wanted to that I would
have never been able to do at a party.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
You know what, You took advantage of the situation.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Now, I took advantage of it. And another interesting tidbit.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I didn't really get a moment just tit.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I know because of what we talked about. Oh that
was on our promos.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Anyhow, another interesting tidbits for the first time using the
word tidbit is that I wanted to talk to Half.
I'm from Chicago, I know the Playboy mansion in Chicago,
all this stuff. I wanted to ask him about the
mansions and his time in Chicago and what he's just
some nice questions. Yeah, I know a guy like that
(26:17):
would love to answer but he was kind of He
was very nice, don't get me wrong. And I didn't
meet him, but he was very unavailable.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'm firm he had boundaries up.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Well, he had boundaries, but also there were security boundaries.
There was a lot of boundaries around half.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Can I say something, Yeah, not a great actor.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
By the way, one or two lines fantastic, passable, yes,
but the rest yeah, but I bought it either way.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
So now we're back and Cheryl has bought Larry a
birthday present, which is golf with Gary Player and lunch,
and she's very upset. She wants an apology that she's
doing all these amazing things for his birthday, and he's
off at the Playboy mentioned and he feels like one
apology should cover both, because again it's the double transgression theory.
And she said, you said when you were a kid
(27:10):
you loved Gary Player. And Andy then shows up with
Nat and Andy tells him they add a date last
night with Bobby Sue, who was a playmate.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah, and by the way, it's an actress. It's not
a real playmate.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
And Nat starts telling them that he's not happy in
the home because they steal from him in the home
that somebody stole his smoking jacket, and Andy says, no,
you sent it to me, and he's like, why would
I send it to either of you?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
And you buy that that shows that he sent it
to It was addressed to Andy, but he was sending
it to Larry.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
But he's even taking it back from Larry because he's like,
why would I send it to either of you? And
you know, Larry gets the jacket, and Larry gets the
jacket and Nat says, this is not my jacket.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Mineus a Rosellie. This is a knockoff.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
It's not it's not my smoking jacket.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
It's not I'm sorry. My jacket is a Roselle jacket.
Take a look at this thing. Take a look at
the seams here. It's a schmucker. Man, it's not mine.
There's a knockoff of my jacket. What how did you
get a hold of this dress? This is a knockoff.
It's a knockoff. It's a cheap, cheap, And this.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Is not a Roselli.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
This is not a Roselle. How did you get it?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Now? This jacket at this point is Hefner's jacket.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
It's Hefner's jacket. That's because of the pooping. Larry took
Heffner's shack exactly.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
He says, this is a cheap knockoff, is what he says.
It's a cheap knockoff. And Larry says, don't worry about it.
I'll get your jacket back. Hef took it, and then
Larry goes back to the mansion and hef comes down
the stairs wearing the jacket and Larry wants to switch
and there's a hole.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
This is a Roselli. That's a knockoff. This is a Roselli.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
You know, all this back and forth, it gets to
the point where I don't know whose jacket is who.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
And then Hefner leaves and then.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I think that premise is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
And he's wearing the jacket he's Larry's and goes, oh,
that's the knockoff. He tries it on, he hands Larry
at back. Larry takes the real half jacket and both his.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Father and that says that's a knockoff.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah. So my feeling is they're both knockoffs's.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Or maybe they're both originals. Who knows? Was that a
real thing of Roselli smoking jack?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I could have it I could. I can look it up.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I think it's probably made up, but anyway.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
No, I don't think it is.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And then we're back at the hospital with Lewis Lewis
and the doctor and Larry's concerned, is is there any change?
And the doctor tells him that he's quite impressed with
his dedication to visiting Lewis Lewis, and Larry says, well, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
My friend's cousin. I have to and he's an organ donor.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Very nice of you, and then doctor leaves and Wilson
shows up. How's it going with the wish And Larry says, look,
I took you to the mansion. What else do you
want me to do? And what was he going to do?
And now I forgot what he was going? Wilson goes with.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Him, Yes, well, goes, I have an idea.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I have an idea. What was this idea?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I don't even know that? And we get to Larry's
house and he forgot his cell phone. He wants to
go back into his house, and that, of course means
that he starts talking about it. His wife is in
New York and if she can't get in touch with him.
Twenty four to seven. It's constant contact all the time.
And they go upstairs and they walk in and there's
cousin Andy having sex with the naked Bobby Sue.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
And she gets up and Wilson gets his wish.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And by the way, the look on his face is.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Oh, he's pure Yes, he's pure joy. And then Wilson
is back in the hospital, seems to be with his
mother and somebody who's from the Make a Wish Foundation
and they say, Wilson, have you thought about another wish?
And Wilson's wishes is that he wishes that he can
have Hefner's smoking jackets, Roselli Roselli smoking jacket. He wants
(30:48):
He's Rosellie smoking jacket. And then we cut to We're
a Gary Player's house and it is the real Gary
Player and Larry's wearing his green jacket and Gary Player says,
it looks exactly like the green jacket I have from
the nineteen sixty one Masters where he beat Arnold Palmer,
and he says to Larry, would you like to try
the jacket on? So Larry takes his green jacket off,
(31:10):
tries on the Master's jacket.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Gary Player tries on Larry's jacket.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Wow, cannot get over how similar this jacket is today.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Do you mind if I just go and have a
look at this at the mirror?
Speaker 4 (31:24):
This is the one you beat Palmer at sixty one?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Right? Absolutely, come on, look at that.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Hey, it fits you.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Gonna have to excuse me a minute.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
And then Gary Player, wearing Larry's jacket, walks into the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Great closure and very close was a great It was a.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Real great runner and a great end. And Gary Player
had a lot of enthusiasm, diddy yeah, and he was available.
And there were three pain playmates there. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
What free playmates a Gary Player's house.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
And well that's it for episode six, season five, right,
what's up next?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Episode seven?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
And which one is that you remember?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I don't. Is it the Sator? Maybe I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
No, it is it is because my HBO Max thing
or whatever went to the next episode and it was Larry,
Larry inviting a sex offender to a sator to a sator.
And then I get in a lot of trouble for
doing something, leaving and doing something.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
At the same Oh, yes you do. And we'll get
to that next week.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
We'll see you next time, and thank you for listening, everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Links available in the episode description. All Right, here we are.
I am Susie Esmond and.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
You are who Jeff Garland.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I knew that.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And this is season five, episode six, the Smoking Jacket.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I got mixed feelings about this episode.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
It's a weird episode.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, there's some very funny things in it.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
No, no, no, And by the way, it's not me
disliking the episode. It's just a bit strange. And when
we get to the different things that are strange, I'm
going to ask you questions.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, okay, good.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So we start out it's Larry's birthday and he's blowing
out candles, which is very nut like him. He doesn't
like the happy birthday song, like the blowing out of
the candles. And it's Larry, Cheryl and Jap, it's the
three of you. And you say to him, what did
you wish for? And he says it's personal, and you say,
I know what you wish for, and you are absolutely
correct on this. You wish that Louis Lewis would die.
(01:14):
Now we set up, let's just establish. We set up
in the last episode that Lewis Lewis, who is Richard
Lewis's cousin, is in a coma and he's not expected
to survive. But if he doesn't survive, he will be
giving Louis one of his kidneys, and he's a relation,
so that means they'll probably match. We don't know for sure.
And Larry denies it. He said no, no, no, no no.
(01:35):
And Cheryl agrees with you. She thinks that that's what
he wished for as well. And he absolutely did wish
for that. I'm certain of that. And then Jeff gives
a gift and when he gives you the you hand
him over the wrap box and he smacks you.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I love that scene. He smacks you, and he's like,
it's good to have a big friend.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
To smack, and he starts smacking you know, and he
tells Cheryl to smack you.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's just funny.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, And then you guys fight over the wrapping because
he's kind of being a little feeble trying to get
it unwrapped, and you want to grab it, unwrap it.
And I always feel used to feel that way with
the kids. They were like such poor unwrappers. And I
always wanted a Christmas just grab everything and just do it.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But it didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And you got him a green sports jacket, like a
bright kelly green, like the Masters.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Like the Masters, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Not a particularly great looking color, no, but it's the Masters.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Otherwise it would be insane.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
And Larry loves it. It's the best birthday he ever had.
And then he says to Cheryl, I don't you don't
have a gift. What's up with that?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You don't have it?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And Cheryl says, she has a gift. It's on hold.
She just has to confirm it, and you're gonna love it.
And doorbell rings and who's there? Cousin Andy comes in
with all his luggage, came to visit.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Completely unexpected for me remembering, and then as the episode
went on, I was like, oh, yeah, that's right he was, Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Of course I didn't remember.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Anyway, his enthusiasm when he comes in as actually Richard
being very enthusiastic. Yes, Richard's so happy to be doing
the scene. He's probably waiting when the door's closed, like focusing, focusing,
But he's so damn happy.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
He does love doing the show. I know that.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And he comes in with luggage, Happy birthday, has your dad,
and Larry establishes to him that NAT's starting to forget
things and he's not what he used to be and
he's having memory problems. And cousin Andy says, at least
it's not the hip, which wade me laughed. At least
it's not the hip, because once the hip goes, it's
all downhill from there. And you tell Larry and Andy
(03:39):
that you're invited. Hugh Hefner invited you to a party
at the Playboy Mansion. Does the Playboy Mansion still exist, Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But I don't know in what way. I believe it's
still owned by Hugh Hefner. And by the way, as
we go on with the talking about this episode, I
will tell you my adventures at the Playboy.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I can't wait to hear.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And Larry says, you said you want to go, and
he says, no way, she won't let me, you know,
meaning Cheryl, and Andy says, I'd love to go, and
he grabs a magazine off the little phone table there,
and he goes into the bathroom and it's an US magazine.
And before he goes into the bathroom, Larry says to
ask him if his parents ever mentioned that he was adopted,
(04:24):
anything about the adoption, But to Andy's like, no, no,
you're crazy, No, you weren't adopted.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
On and on and then we.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Hear a flush and Richard comes out and he puts
the magazine back on the little phone table and he says,
I'm gonna go say hi to Cheryl.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You imitate him, You do a good Richard.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
In the other room with charyon Yeah, and I want
to go to the Playboy mansion.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
And Larry is looking at the US magazine that he
just brought out from the bathroom that he put back
on the table, and he's completely grossed out by it.
And he takes a tissue and he takes it and
he picks it up with the tissue and he throws
it in the garbage, and.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Then he throws the tissue in the garbage. Now this one,
if you know the show, you know this is leading
to something because it's not nuanced. It's really it's a
piece of the scene. So you know it's going to
come back later. That rarely happens, and I'm sure Larry
didn't give a shit when he was writing. It's why
I don't have a problem with it. But usually they're
(05:24):
little teeny things that get bigger and bigger, or this one,
it's something's going to happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Alarms went off.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Next Larry's at the hospital and Louis Lewis is in
bed and the doctor is there, and Louis Lewis isn't
a Coleman.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Who's the doctor?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The doctor is played by I wrote it down James
Pickens Junior.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Which I have run into so many times. And do
you know what TV show he's been on for many years? Don't?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
If he's still on, I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
What's that hospital show?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
You are?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Another shond around? He was on Great he Is, or
was on Grays and Enemy for many years, and that's
after this show. I like to think it's because the show, because.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
He's somehow I don't think so, But that's okay. And
Larry tells him. The doctor asks him who he is,
and he's like, I'm friends with his cousin.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's so lame, you know, that's a.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Thing of beauty and the doctor is kind of hesitant
and he goes, oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well in this episode later on, if I recall, the
doctor is not happy.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But in this episode, the doctor there's.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Some funny shit.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, it goes on.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Actually, one of the things that is mentioned to me
most often is in I believe the next episode, I'm
not positive.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I think so too, And I know what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yes, I mean people always yes.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yes, of course, okay, And he's not doing well. It's
an irreversible coma. And Larry says, how long you think
it's going to be doctor says it could be days, weeks, months,
could be a year.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And Larry's like, are you leading to a days or months?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean if you have to pick one, you know,
so you have a gun to your head, you have
to pick, and the doctor can't pick.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
And larryus what I'm so the.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Mustache in a coma, the mustache.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, this mustache, it continues to grow.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Oh, there's a lady who really know.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
A couple of times, the hospital has a barber.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, she's a nice lady. She clips his mustache.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
She just works within the hospital or.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
In the hospital. Yes, we just try and keep them.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Comfortable and you know, seems a pity though that these
people like they languish like this one.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
The soul is crying too. Oh yeah, I guess you
could look at it that way.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
And he's got all these organs he could be donating,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
What happens to the mustache and the coma and.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It continues to grow, and there's a nurse who comes
and clips it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And Larry was playing Lewis Lewis.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
He was in an improv group with Fred Willard and
I cannot remember the name. They were out of the committee. No,
not the committee. The committee was Dell Close. But he's
in an improper He was the guy in the seventies
who his whole stick was. You can call me Ray, okay,
I know, I forget the gentleman's name.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Well, he does a great comma.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And passed away recently.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Actually, he's terrific in a coma.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well, by the way he is, he's a great look.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah for Lewis Lewis.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
And Larry says, you know, it seems a pity that
he's languishing here when the soul is trying to you know,
as though Larry gives a shit about his soul and
he could be donating his organs. And then the doctor
leaves and Larry somehow is fussing with the cord, you know,
the what do they call the tubes, And all of
a sudden you see the curtain from the next door
(08:41):
person pull open and there's a kid sitting there. That
is Gary Rosenmeier, who's actually been in a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
He's done a lot well.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
By the way, I also want to say, he's really
good from the get go, but his performance grows and
grows and grows during the episode.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It does, and watching him, I was thinking, you know,
we've had a lot of We saw it in the
Larry David Sandwich episode, that kid who catches Larry, you know,
spilling the coffee, how great he was and Anton lesser.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
We've had a lot of kids who were really terrific.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
And by the way, in those moments, he reminds me
of W. C. Fields.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Oh really, yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Now. Bob Whitey used to tell Larry all the time
that he reminded him of W. C. Fields. Bob Whitey, one.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Of our directors, would tell that Larry.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, you would tell Larry this to Larry. But I
concur but especially when he's with kids.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
And he says, and he says that, the kid says,
his name is Wilson, and the kid says, I urge
your conversation.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So what you want this guy dead or something.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Listen, that's a very serious thing you're saying. You're practically
calling me your murder. Okay, I'm not pulling any plug,
So come on, enough of that.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Okay, I'm willing to overlook this whole thing.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Oh are you boy?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
That's very nice of you.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I appreciate this.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, you grant my wish? It to make a wish
foundation turned down.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You'll forget about this, you agree? What was this wish
that they wouldn't grant?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I want to see naked woman?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You want to see a naked woman. That's your wish.
They wouldn't grant that wish.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Of course, not imagine going through your whole life without
seeing a naked woman. Hey I almost did so he says, Well,
I can't really help you, But the kid says, hey,
I sneak out all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So whatever that's established.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Next we're home and Cheryl has a package that arrives
for Andy, for cousin Andy, and it turns out it's
from Nat and it's his smoking jacket, and Larry believes
that was a birthday gift for Larry because Nat always
promised Larry he could have the smoking jacket, and he's
confused and he's got to mention he doesn't know what
he was doing.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
By the way, we do discover later on by NAT's
reaction that Larry was right.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yes, but Larry sets up that when they were younger,
they would always give Andy a gift to on his
birthday so they wouldn't feel left out, and he ends
up having a big fight with Andy.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
He didn't send me anything for my birthday. He only
accept the fact that he sent me again, promise me
this jacket.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh did my father? Oh Larry, you're unbelievable. You can't
accept the fact that your father sent me a love.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Because why he has no reason to send it you
it's my birthday.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Because he happens, and Cheryl suddenly cuts in and says,
have you seen my US magazine? Larry tells her he
threw it out, and Cheryl's very upset because she had
written an important phone number down on the magazine, and
Larry's like, well, he took it to the bathroom and
contaminated it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Then he goes back to the fight with Andy.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
He promised me the jacket and they get into a
big fight.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Day. This is my jacket. This is my jacket. This
is my jacket. A lovely scene.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
We'll be right back. Stay tuned, and we're back.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And then Larry and Jeff and Oscar are taking a walk.
Oscar are dog and Larry complains about the jacket. And
then you asked Larry if he's going to the Playboy mansion.
He says he can't, he's in the doghouse. And then
it's established that if you're in the doghouse already, you
might as well get your money's worth. You might as
well have the double transgression theory. Yeah, which I think
(12:21):
is a great theory.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
By the way, I'm going to tell you the truth.
This took only a few takes to film. We were
walking down the street in one of those areas between Brentwood.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Samaelopian and I could tell it was Brentwood.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yes, and so this is one of those scenes that
I tell people about and I probably mentioned on the show.
If it's just Larry and I or you and Larry. However,
it is when it's just one of the two of us,
if you will, it just goes by so fast, it's
like we're done. I think the record is there was
one at a golf club, and I pointed out when
(12:54):
we show that episode, I think we filmed it for
twenty minutes, you know what I mean. And like literally
we've talked about dinner table scenes which take the entire day.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Very long time, yes, because there's a lot of choreography.
And actually the last episode of this season was the
longest day we ever had.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But we'll get there.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
In terms of a dining room episode or just it.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Wasn't a dining room episode. We'll get there.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Hold on, it's longer than the episode when we filmed
at the hospital when Larry dies.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
That is that's the law. That's what I'm talking about.
That's the end of this season.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Oh I think you said the end of last season.
This season. Yeah, by far. By the way, it was
also though, the reason we did it, because.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
We don't ever do that, because it was a set.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
No, it was the last day of shooting for this Also, there.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Was there was a lot had to happen.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
We can control the environment, like.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
For example, all those Shelley in the hospital scenes was
shot that day.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
That happened much earlier.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
It was sometimes when when we have a location like that,
like a hospital setting, you know, you take things from
from different episodes and try to get everything done for
the location, especially that happened during COVID.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That was very difficult during COVID location.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
But this episode is we're talking this is two.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Thousand and five.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah, confused.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
So Larry's wants to know if he could ask Wilson
to go the kid because where else is he going
to see naked women?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
At the Playboy mansion it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
And he comes home and Andy is on the phone
in the smoking jacket, lounging with his leg and let
Larry's like, what is this? My father promised me this
for years, that when I was eleven years old or whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And Andy's just like, can't you move on? He was
so great?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And He's like, we're going to the Playboy mentioned and
Andy begs, begs to go to the Playboy mention and
Larry says, you can go to the Playboy mention. You
got to give me the jacket back, take it to
the dry cleaner, and then you got the four of
you you, Larry, Andy and Wilson pull up in the
Playboy mansion and a.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Says looking and watching is so fucked and funny.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's right. And a voice get to the door.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I've never seen quite that crew and curb, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, of course the there's a voice that says, speaking
to the rock, which.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Made me look And that's Larry Charles's voice.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Oh is it? Okay? I didn't know that. I didn't
recognize it.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And then you're at the mansion and you pass the
gorgeous old Mercedes, and that we see a shot at
the pool and his topless women everywhere, and all of
a sudden Larry walks in and they all cover their
breasts and scream and run away. They freak out seeing Larry.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Now let's talk about that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
We never find out why which killed me. I don't
know if it was on the cutting room floor, whatever
it is. We have no idea why all these playmates
what the reason was? I do not, but there's no
this is a big thing for him.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I agree. I totally agree. It was like why I.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Just pissed it him And Larry says, I don't know,
but I thought we would find out.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, but we don't. We don't. So that's a little
bit of a top fiver of what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, I understand that, yeah, because I had the same reaction.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You know, I can't even imagine what the reason what
it was.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
But usually, Jeff, when something like that happens, it is
later revealed if it's not revealed in the moment, but
it's not in this episode.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Then Larry needs to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
He flushes, he walks out and he sees Hugh Hefner
and two playmates, Bridget and Holly, and they're real there.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
They were on that reality show.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I don't I haven't watched.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Well, there was a reality show on e with Hugh
and his three ladies, what it was called.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I thought he had more than three, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
No, no, no, no, there are plenty of playmates, but in
that show there were three, ok, the's three blonde women.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
And Larry asks him what's that animal running around? And
Hugh tells him it's a flamingo And Larry's like, he's
not very good at identifying birds. He can identify sneakers,
he knows there's all kinds of sneakers, but not birds.
And he sees after he's wearing the smoking jacket that
looks exactly like his father's nats and he tells him,
(17:09):
my father has the same jacket.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
And you know what, this smoking jacket. My father's got
the exact same smoking jacket.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
My doubt it. Doubt it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, well it's an original.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I haven't be imparted from Italy.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Really, it's a ROSSELLI what of a kind?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I don't know, you know what?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I got it right out in the car, boy, I'd
like to see it, would you sure?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Could I go get it?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Sure that?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Stay right here, Okay, I'll go get the smoking jackets.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Stay right here.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And while he's there, we pass Andy flirting with the girl,
which is not realistic to me, not rich your kind
because of any.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Half that moment, because he's later on he's been married
for a long time to his wife. Yes, so at
this point we're not even mentioning a wife like.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
He's No, the wife has not been mentioned yet, and Lisa,
who plays his wife, is amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yes, but when she is entered into the show, it's
as if they've been married for years. And by the way,
I actually do believe because it's funny. Cousin Andy standing
over a centerfold flirting.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
No, I believe he's flirting. It's later on. Well, anyway,
we'll get to that.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
But even later on, I believe that keep going.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Larry goes to the car to get the jacket, and
Wilson is in the car sulking, you ruin my wish.
They ran away from you and we still don't find
out why. And he's like, can me the jacket? And
he fights with the kid, and you know, we see
him hold.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
On with he's wrestling, but then the next shot is
we see him coming in. There's no resolution there, so
we have the resolution when.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He comes in right and hef claims that it's a knockoff.
It's not really a Roselli and he.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Tries it on and Larry's like, wait till my father
hears that you have to put on his mach and
he goes to look, goes to look in the mirror
at it, and he closes the door.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Nobody looks in the mirror and goes, hey, it's close,
but no, not yet.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
It's a knockoff. It's a Korean knockoff.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And he closes the door because he's now going to
go to the bathroom wearing Larry's smoking jacket, and Larry
is with Holly and bridget.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I noticed they got some uh what they got some
monkeys out there?
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Huh Yeah, don't got.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Much pockets in there. Huh too many pockets there.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
We don't need pockets. I couldn't live without pockets. Look,
not a dentist, but I enjoy discussing dental hygiene. Then
monkeys they'll attack you. They'll they'll claw you to death.
I'd say gum stimulation very important, blossing or are people, though,
let's face it, who do have a foot on a problem?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Are you saying I have dirty feet?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Your name is one again?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I forgot Bridgie.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
You are Holly, Holly.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Maybe we should go bowling sometime. I don't think you
want to go bullet with.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Let's pretend to be ventriloquist.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
This is a really funny feeling. I was a few
feet away. You know. We shot about twenty five of
those awkward conversations.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Larry talking about dental hygiene, which is one of his
favorite topics. As we know, pockets maybe he has, and
maybe they want to go bowling. Then he talks about
maybe ventriloquists.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Oh, by the way, the ventriloquism one is hilarious, yes, well,
ventriloquism is always hilarious. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
And then finally we hear a flush and Hefter comes
out of the bathroom and you see Larry is grossed
out and he hands Larry back NAT's jacket where hef'stracket
is over the banister or something. It's hanging somewhere, so
it's over a chair, over a chair, okay, and Larry
switches them because he's grossed out that he went to
the bathroom in NAT's jacket.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Then we cut to Sheryl's the Playboy Mansion, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
And she's all pissed off about it, as he knew
she would be, and she's like, you know, I got
you a birthday president, and the birthday present is that
she got lunch and a round of golf with Gary Player.
And Cheryl's very upset by the way.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I once was invited to the Playboy I got two
things to say, because we just covered it. I was
invited to the Playboy mansion once for a party and Marla,
myley ex wife, my wife at the time, wanted to go,
and I was like the only way in my head,
I'm like the only way I'm going is without her.
Otherwise I am not going. You don't bring your wife
(21:40):
to the Playboy mansion, not that any action will happen. Now,
the other side of the coin, when we were filming
at the play By mansion, we.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Were told to wait so so Jeff that it was
really the Playboy Mansion.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Were we filmed? Yes, Oh yes, that's the way.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I just want to establish that.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Now.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
You see behind them stairs that lead upstairs. When we
were told don't go anywhere except where we're filming backyard this,
I of course completely ignored that. I said, fuck that
my time in the Playboy Mansion, and I went upstairs.
Heff's room the end of the hallway. But along the
way these ladies, the three girls, had their each of
(22:21):
them had a room, and they had stickers all over
their doors like a dorm room. Really, oh, they all
had stickers. One of them was from Philadelphia, all this stuff,
and I thought, that is hilarious. Here's this palatial mansion
and they've done this.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
We'll be right that. Stay tuned, Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
The Playboy Mansion was very worn. It was like if
it shoddy, not quite shoddy, but on it way to shoddy.
And you can see that not one piece of furniture
from the seventies was replaced. It's all the original stuff.
I went into the screening room, the couch, it all looks.
(23:13):
What it basically looks like is that I've gone in
a time machine to the nineteen seventies and I find
myself in an empty mansion. Another thing that I did,
and this is the creepier one. There was a house.
There was this next playmate contest with playmates or best playmate.
There was a house adjacent to the thing, and these
(23:34):
are real playmates and they're all living in this house.
And it turned out a friend of mine, years later
I found out, was literally as a playmate living in
that house. But I remember looking at it like a
little kid, going, I wonder if they go by the
pool naked, I wonder what they do. It was just
a bunch of wondering and yeah, I said, it's creepy.
That's about as creepy as again. But I reverted back
(23:54):
to my twenty year old self, which men are apt
to do. You know, women get mad at men for
a myriad of things, either either women who are distant
and see something or women that are up close men
are boys, you know, you hear that, But we really
do revert in our minds to how we would react
(24:15):
to something, especially in a situation like that. Now, for
the record, I did not see any playmates. I saw nothing.
Then I wandered over to where I've already seen or
we's seen on TV and in pictures, where the pinball
machines were Playboy pinball machines, And it was like there
was an old old screen TV projected TV, and there
(24:38):
were all these beanbags and areas where you could lounge
and make out with each other all around again pure
nineteen seventies. So I'll be damned if I didn't give
myself a tour of the Playboy mansion. But the fact
that we started at the grotto so happy. Ask me
how much money let's say it's filled with playmates, how
(24:58):
much money would take from me to go in the grotto.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
How much money would it take for you to go.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
To Not to have money in the world, because the grotto,
the amount of jism that's floating around that grotto, no.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Thank you, you could get pregnant.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
No, But I just thought, this is the most unsanitary
place maybe on earth. And by the way, speaking of Laura,
there was this one area you could walk to on
the inside of the grotto, and I took pictures of her.
I don't know where they are right now. You know
she's fully clothed, but of her relaxing in the grotto.
It was very fun to do that, so.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Basically Laura as one of our executive producers.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Yeah, but what I'm saying is, I'll be damned if
I didn't have a good time and do all the
things that I would have wanted to that I would
have never been able to do at a party.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
You know what, You took advantage of the situation.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Now, I took advantage of it. And another interesting tidbit.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I didn't really get a moment just tit.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I know because of what we talked about. Oh that
was on our promos.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Anyhow, another interesting tidbits for the first time using the
word tidbit is that I wanted to talk to Half.
I'm from Chicago, I know the Playboy mansion in Chicago,
all this stuff. I wanted to ask him about the
mansions and his time in Chicago and what he's just
some nice questions. Yeah, I know a guy like that
(26:17):
would love to answer but he was kind of He
was very nice, don't get me wrong. And I didn't
meet him, but he was very unavailable.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'm firm he had boundaries up.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Well, he had boundaries, but also there were security boundaries.
There was a lot of boundaries around half.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Can I say something, Yeah, not a great actor.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
By the way, one or two lines fantastic, passable, yes,
but the rest yeah, but I bought it either way.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
So now we're back and Cheryl has bought Larry a
birthday present, which is golf with Gary Player and lunch,
and she's very upset. She wants an apology that she's
doing all these amazing things for his birthday, and he's
off at the Playboy mentioned and he feels like one
apology should cover both, because again it's the double transgression theory.
And she said, you said when you were a kid
(27:10):
you loved Gary Player. And Andy then shows up with
Nat and Andy tells him they add a date last
night with Bobby Sue, who was a playmate.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah, and by the way, it's an actress. It's not
a real playmate.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
And Nat starts telling them that he's not happy in
the home because they steal from him in the home
that somebody stole his smoking jacket, and Andy says, no,
you sent it to me, and he's like, why would
I send it to either of you?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
And you buy that that shows that he sent it
to It was addressed to Andy, but he was sending
it to Larry.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
But he's even taking it back from Larry because he's like,
why would I send it to either of you? And
you know, Larry gets the jacket, and Larry gets the
jacket and Nat says, this is not my jacket.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Mineus a Rosellie. This is a knockoff.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
It's not it's not my smoking jacket.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
It's not I'm sorry. My jacket is a Roselle jacket.
Take a look at this thing. Take a look at
the seams here. It's a schmucker. Man, it's not mine.
There's a knockoff of my jacket. What how did you
get a hold of this dress? This is a knockoff.
It's a knockoff. It's a cheap, cheap, And this.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Is not a Roselli.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
This is not a Roselle. How did you get it?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Now? This jacket at this point is Hefner's jacket.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
It's Hefner's jacket. That's because of the pooping. Larry took
Heffner's shack exactly.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
He says, this is a cheap knockoff, is what he says.
It's a cheap knockoff. And Larry says, don't worry about it.
I'll get your jacket back. Hef took it, and then
Larry goes back to the mansion and hef comes down
the stairs wearing the jacket and Larry wants to switch
and there's a hole.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
This is a Roselli. That's a knockoff. This is a Roselli.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
You know, all this back and forth, it gets to
the point where I don't know whose jacket is who.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
And then Hefner leaves and then.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I think that premise is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
And he's wearing the jacket he's Larry's and goes, oh,
that's the knockoff. He tries it on, he hands Larry
at back. Larry takes the real half jacket and both his.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Father and that says that's a knockoff.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah. So my feeling is they're both knockoffs's.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Or maybe they're both originals. Who knows? Was that a
real thing of Roselli smoking jack?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I could have it I could. I can look it up.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I think it's probably made up, but anyway.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
No, I don't think it is.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And then we're back at the hospital with Lewis Lewis
and the doctor and Larry's concerned, is is there any change?
And the doctor tells him that he's quite impressed with
his dedication to visiting Lewis Lewis, and Larry says, well, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
My friend's cousin. I have to and he's an organ donor.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Very nice of you, and then doctor leaves and Wilson
shows up. How's it going with the wish And Larry says, look,
I took you to the mansion. What else do you
want me to do? And what was he going to do?
And now I forgot what he was going? Wilson goes with.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Him, Yes, well, goes, I have an idea.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I have an idea. What was this idea?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I don't even know that? And we get to Larry's
house and he forgot his cell phone. He wants to
go back into his house, and that, of course means
that he starts talking about it. His wife is in
New York and if she can't get in touch with him.
Twenty four to seven. It's constant contact all the time.
And they go upstairs and they walk in and there's
cousin Andy having sex with the naked Bobby Sue.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
And she gets up and Wilson gets his wish.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And by the way, the look on his face is.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Oh, he's pure Yes, he's pure joy. And then Wilson
is back in the hospital, seems to be with his
mother and somebody who's from the Make a Wish Foundation
and they say, Wilson, have you thought about another wish?
And Wilson's wishes is that he wishes that he can
have Hefner's smoking jackets, Roselli Roselli smoking jacket. He wants
(30:48):
He's Rosellie smoking jacket. And then we cut to We're
a Gary Player's house and it is the real Gary
Player and Larry's wearing his green jacket and Gary Player says,
it looks exactly like the green jacket I have from
the nineteen sixty one Masters where he beat Arnold Palmer,
and he says to Larry, would you like to try
the jacket on? So Larry takes his green jacket off,
(31:10):
tries on the Master's jacket.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Gary Player tries on Larry's jacket.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Wow, cannot get over how similar this jacket is today.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Do you mind if I just go and have a
look at this at the mirror?
Speaker 4 (31:24):
This is the one you beat Palmer at sixty one?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Right? Absolutely, come on, look at that.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Hey, it fits you.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Gonna have to excuse me a minute.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
And then Gary Player, wearing Larry's jacket, walks into the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Great closure and very close was a great It was a.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Real great runner and a great end. And Gary Player
had a lot of enthusiasm, diddy yeah, and he was available.
And there were three pain playmates there. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
What free playmates a Gary Player's house.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
And well that's it for episode six, season five, right,
what's up next?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Episode seven?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
And which one is that you remember?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I don't. Is it the Sator? Maybe I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
No, it is it is because my HBO Max thing
or whatever went to the next episode and it was Larry,
Larry inviting a sex offender to a sator to a sator.
And then I get in a lot of trouble for
doing something, leaving and doing something.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
At the same Oh, yes you do. And we'll get
to that next week.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
