that's how you really do learn aboutmy thank you by thank you.

(00:53):
I wasn't going to say anything,but then I could see he wasn't going
to open his mouth. Hello oryou lovely people out there in podcasts world,
Welcome to Talking Signfi, the podcastwhere we discuss everything we know about

(01:17):
the show about nothing. Apologies toyour listens out there now wondering what's going
on with my voice. I've lostmy voice over the weekend. The kids
were driving me crazy, but Ilove him to death. But yeah,
so by sound a bit offen thisin this podcast, that is why.
But we are here to review areally good episode of signfot not to be
confused with the finale. It isthe good Samaritan. I am Dando and
he's so good looking, and I'mgoing, do you know they wanted that

(01:41):
catchphrase to catch on, kind oflike these pretzels are making me firsty and
it just didn't work. I'm watchingthis going I can see what you're trying
to do here, and I'm notgoing to buy it. Sometimes I just
don't take No. There's nothing worsethan when someone really tries to make fair
chappen to quote them great movie MeanGirls. But yeah, look, Sinfeld
has got enough catchphrasees that grew organicallythat yeah, I think we'll cut them

(02:06):
a little slack if they tried toactually manufacture one in a lab um.
I love Louisa's house. There isa garment known as an udie. Are
you aware of the Uodie? Udiesmay or may not be a part of
our four figure discount network in thenear future, So yes, we do
love our friends at the This isa wonderful coincidence. I had no idea
about this because Dano keeps me inthe dark, as you should. No,

(02:27):
no, no, that's not thecase. I'll turn I'll turn the
lights on when we get enough pagesto pay the white thank you for zing
pow. Keep them coming. Butover at the Love of Luisa's House,
there is yes, there's garment theudie and this one in particular is just
peppered with Seinfeld catchphrases, so youknow, it's a big hoodie. I
mean, this is a family decentsized one. So yeah, I think

(02:49):
they've got enough one liners in thetank to you not be concernamate one that
didn't quite take. And I don'tknow, I think the ones that aren't
necessarily the ones that everyone drops ineveryday conversation are a little more fun,
you know. I mean, Ithink we've spoken in the past about well,
when we were talking about King ofthe Hill recently, because we've got
a King of the Hill podcast comingup, folks, just in curse you,
I didn't know it's already, it'salready out there. The premier well

(03:10):
They getting to Know You episode isout there. Y. Yeah. We
talked about how if someone drops aline from an obscure show or song or
whatever, something that's not necessarily thetop of the pops. You go,
hey, cool dude, No,your staff, you or me going to
be bud. Yeah. So ifsomeone say, you know, if someone

(03:30):
sneezes and someone goes, you're sogood looking, it's like someone knows their
Signfeld and you're either making your bestbud or you'll just ignore them for the
rest of your life. But there'llbe go onto that. Oh, that's
right, because I started by sayingyou're so good looking, which you are,
Brendan. I can I can actuallysee why they though try to use

(03:53):
this way of trying to get acatchphase happening, because they're probably thinking,
or everyone comes across somebody at sneezesa few times a week at least,
like everyone says God bless you.It's just this sort of comes naturally.
We can change to god bless youto our catchphrase. It's free promotion.
I can see why they chose thatresponse to to a sneeze to try and
make that a catchphrase, but itjust it felt too manufactured. Yeah to

(04:16):
me, So you don't want tosee the scenes all the times here yea,
as I said, to my lastgirlfriend, you just gotta let it
happen. No, I didn't saythat too, but you know what,
you know, what I did feelwas not manufactured. The lies in this
episode. This was an episode filledwith lies. And I love a good
lie. I think we all lovea good life, especially when we get
away with one. Oh yeah,but when our lies unraveled. But everyone

(04:40):
tells a lie in this episode exceptfor Cramer. I think they all tell
a lie in some way, andit all seems to backfire in some way.
Some of it's taken in a morepositive note. Some of it's not
taken very lightly at all. Whenyou when you threatened Angela, but when
you sort of threatened her, whatwould you say? Her image? She
doesn't take it very well, doesn'tshe? Oh my god, she was
a nightmare. It's one of myfavorite parts of the episode. We'll get

(05:00):
to that, but I mean,yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll turn
Shall we say that? Legion issomething else either? It was just a
spectacular, really good work. Now. The thing about Kramer not lying is
Kramer is so unbound to societal structureand tendencies and niceties and all that kind

(05:21):
of stuff that he doesn't have toyou know. I mean, he knows
that Jerry's got to crush on isit Becky Gyelki, Yes, Becky,
Yeah, yeah, Becky? Thewas it the blonde and the blue sweatpants?
The blonde with the blue sweatpants knowsthat he's got to cry and I
know all's fair in love and war. But Cramer just sort of swans.

(05:44):
He goes, yeah, that's right, I got a date with her.
You could have run this past Jerry, you know, rather than just sort
of I mean, I know that, you know, Becky is no one's
probably no one's got DIBs or anythinglike that. But at the same time,
Jerry is your buddy. It mightsay, I'm going to ask her
out if that's okay with you.He didn't see as an issue at all.
And I love the fact that hejust believes Becky straight away. It's
like his best friend. I love, I loved his life. It's like

(06:09):
I don't even want to look atyou anymore, which isn't great. Michael
Richards wrong line reading. But yeah, I mean, Crayman doesn't need to
lie. He's just so he operatesby his own code, and the fact
that he can't lie not all thathe chooses not to lie most of the
time is usually what causes everyone else'sstory to unravel. Correct now when he
answers the phone that time or whatwas last week? The limo? The

(06:30):
limo when when he fucks up everyone'snames, like he's just he's he's just
his own card, isn't he Well, that's not so much a lie as
a mistake. But I meanly yea, but certainly Van Delay Industries. No,
no, you got to roll wrong. He doesn't think to go,
well, I better run with thisjust in case it's like no, no,
fuck it, no, no,no, this is the wrong number.

(06:50):
But yeah, you know. Thiswas actually the first and only episode
that Jason Alexander directed. I didknow that. I noted that down in
my notes because I'm like, goodon you, Jay, but only only
episode only director. I don't thinkhe's ever directed anything else as he or
well, apparently he had directed somestage shows that kind of thing, so
he said, I was he wasused to directing stage shows, but nothing
to had cameras, and all ofa sudden there was four cameras on the

(07:13):
set, so he had to getto take some getting used to. But
he really enjoyed it. It's Iwonder I didn't get to do more episodes.
Maybe he thought, well, that'sthat's add that to my resume and
I'm done. I don't want todo this ever again. But he noted
that um that Michael Richards. There'sthe in particular the scene with the seizure.
Remember, he said that he wentto Michael and said, like,
how do you want to do this? You know this is your scene.
I'll work around you. I'll makesure it works to how you want to

(07:36):
act this. And apparently Michael waslike, oh, let's not let's not
overdo it. Lets me kind ofsubdue. Let's kind of keep it casual,
you know, make it feel likea real seizure. And he goes
and once the camera started rolling,boom, He's breaking table legs and he's
knocking bookshelves, and he's doing thisand doing that, and there's a really
great blooper you can find of Jerryand Elaine's not really breaking character, but

(07:56):
Jerry's just he's just breaking Carri.He's like, I can't keep this.
Guy's losing his mind. He's fallingover the table. And Michael said that
he deliberately when they were doing rehearsalsand whatnot. Didn't act out much at
all because he wanted to keep itwhen the cameras on for two reasons.
A he wanted to surprise everybody onset and B he thought he might break
a bone with how much he wasmoving his body around. A very good
point, because he has really goingfor it. He really was going for

(08:20):
it. It's a risky move onMichael Richards's part, as you point out,
Jerry does break I mean, yeah, it's it's there's a high degree
of certainty that you know when youreally go for it like that someone's going
to go, oh my god andjust lose it completely. But no,
it's a it's a it's very veryfunny, of course. But something I

(08:41):
like about it is also that hedoes fall down and just see the occasional
flailing limb come up behind the couch. As I mean, starts really going
for it, and you imagine thescene's going to go that for the whole
duration, but then he falls tothe floor and just it makes it even
funnier, just the fact that there'san occasional arm coming up or leg or
whatever like that. That's good onMichael's part, good on good direction on

(09:05):
Jason's part, a good collaboration betweenthe two of them. Well, I
love that. I love that Jasonwas able to take the comedy away for
the fact that he was having aseizure, and the comedy being that Elaine
and Jerry are completely oblivious that thereis this guy losing his mind in the
background. That's the joke. Verygood. Absolutely, you don't want to
you don't really want to poke funat people having a seizure, Like someone
having a seizure isn't something to laughat. But the fact that they didn't

(09:26):
notice it is what's meant to befunny there. But it actually and it
might seem absurd to non American viewerseven back in the day, but this
is actually a true story. Andthat's what Elaine points out. The woman
from Alburney I was actually having seizuresfrom Mary Hart's voice, Can you believe
that? I cannot believe that.But if they're saying it's true, then

(09:46):
I guess it is one of mytrivi questions. Okay, yes, but
yeah, so she left ET howlong ago? Now? Oh gosh,
um must have been the early nineties, I guess, or maybe all the
late eighties. No, no,no, when she's left et. No,
she los et in the last fewten years, didn't she Mary Heart
Mary Hart. Yeah, when maybeI'm doing Liza Gibbons leave et. Let's

(10:09):
have a look in twenty ten,May twenty twenty eleven on it, she
announced in twenty eleven. Yeah,okay, then, because I used to
watch Entertainment Tonight all the time,I thought, it's the autro music to
our movie guys podcast, which weif you are not a patron we this
month we did The Sundlock Kids,and next month it is our guys choice,

(10:31):
this guy's choice for a film,and we've gone with Tremors, haven't
we We have indeed. Yeah,so I'm looking out for that one on
our Patreon page. Can't wait forthat, And you shouldn't wait for it
either, because get patronizing and you'llget it before anybody else. Yeah,
exactly right. But yeah, soI understand it interesting that actually happened.
It's funny when you watch you watchstories on podcast on podcast one and sitcoms

(10:52):
and things like this, anything,it was just a bit of a bit
of a bit of a stretch andyou're like, oh no, this really
happened. It was similar to whenum we did the episode of The Simpsons
Google. Guy Pan and Dana Gouldwrote that episode, and I thought it
was a bit much that, youknow, she's going all back to China
to adopt the baby, and it'slike he actually did that free time,
and I'm like, huh, thereyou go. Well over legend stories like

(11:13):
that, they're often interesting, andthere's often more to them than just the
punchline or just the yeah, justthe headline. I mean, there's the
I think that maybe one of thebest examples is that woman who sued McDonald's
because, oh my coffee's too hot. Everyone you ordered heard coffee lady,
what would you expect? But itturned out to be like scalding hot,
like so hot it gave her thirddegree burns when it spilled on her.

(11:35):
They didn't give a proper notification aboutexactly how hot it was. I think
there was something to do with thecups as well, that they were sort
of flimsy designed and the lead wouldcome off and spill, so you know,
it's not just a case of onlywhen coffee is still having to burn
made tink. It's more like,no, they served as woman Moulton lava
in a cup. Yeah, shedidn't go there with the intention of suing
them. She just wanted to comefrom It. Wasn't some scam. I

(11:56):
was like, no, I waslegitimately should pike or scalding Hodd coffee and
possibly your you know, flimsy flimsycup arrangement. That is a good one.
Still, all right, what wereyour favorite moments from The Good Samaritan?
I'll tell you something. I'm Idon't know if there's a nice coincidence
or not, but there's a sceneearly on where George and Jerry or in

(12:20):
Jerry's apartment pouring. George's pouring glassesof milk, and I've written it,
you're drinking milk, guys. Inlike two seconds later, Jerry said,
am I drinking milk? And Ijust left it back. It's like George
just poured the milk for some reason. I mean, do you remember the
last time you drank a glass ofmilk? Milk by itself? No,

(12:43):
I honestly cannot remember. I reckonchild. Yeah, I haven't had milk
in the house for goodness knows howlong I mean i'd milk at all.
Don't you drink coffee? I havemy coffee black there you okay, yeah,
yeah, I mean if I'm havinga light as usually one that I
bought. Nicola runs milk like it'snobody's business. She English and their tea,
but she also has the the soymilk so's It's like it's like five

(13:07):
dollars a cart and it's like,oh my god, we'll lose into the
almond milk when she when she hasa coffee. Yeah, I mean,
we have a come visit love itthe weas. We'll make sure he kept
matter of that because that will killmy wife. Oh okay, I forgot
about the nuts. Nobody likes thenuts. Well, Nicola doesn't like the
nuts. Uh what I was gonnasay? Yes, I thought that was

(13:28):
funny. I really liked the angerin this episode because they had sort of
two very angry people back to back. When when Michael is on the phone
to a Lane and I just thoughtthis life was found out, I'm gonna
sew his ass to his face,I'm like, oh my god, yeah
that's it's like, Oh, hemeans business. He really does. And

(13:52):
then you sort of cut. Ifeel like he cut immediately to angela sort
of confronting um confronting Jerry, andI wasn't right then, was it immediately?
Because oh yeah because George. Yeah, because she leaves and then the
l enters and then George comes afterthat. Yeah, yeah, of course
you're right. Yeah. Yeah.The first thing he's like that was suck
face. I'm like, oh mygod. Yeah, So I really love

(14:18):
that. Yeah, like I said, he'll turn for em Angela because you
know, she's been so sort ofcharming and seductive all the way through.
I mean almost almost absurdly. So, I mean when they're having ice cream
cones in the in the car,so you're eating that ice cream carter in
a very adult way, you're committingadultery against that ice cream. So yeah,

(14:41):
I really like And speaking of adultery, yeah, that just to rewind
a little bit, I just lovethat cut to Robin and Georgian Ben and
he's all bunched up that he committedadultery and he's like, so a matter
of fact, you didn't commit adultery. I did. He was like,
hey, the hook I ge freecard. Yeah, he's so happy about

(15:01):
that. I mean, he's notentirely bad. He's doing a little bit
fly, a little bit guilty,but it's like, oh, yeah,
well, I guess if you're goingby the book definition, No, I
didn't commit a tel dry good forme. Now, I really enjoyed Jerry
telling his lie and George coaxes himto continue, so just to tell us
about it. And then Jerry startsoff, oh right, just trying to

(15:26):
store for time, trying to thinkof what he's gonna say. Tell him
about the shoving. Yeah, yeah, that when George st shoving, it's
like, what happened? He backedoff? Its pretty pathetic. Actually,
I feel like a big man.I did like the Jerry. Normally,
you see him in the situation,i'd go, you know, pull a

(15:46):
death stare on someone. But heseemed kind of like, okay, let's
see if I can improvise my wayout of this, or I have a
little fun with it, just throwingin his karate but you know stances this
got me. That was so funny, And you know karate, I know
a little, no, a little, yeah, I know little. So
that was very funny. You're right, very good. And then when he

(16:07):
catches out a lane for lying andhe delivers a Adoardo carraccio, Where would
you meet to? Where would youmeet a matta door in New York City,
Where's Bids? Yeah, I justthought Julia is acting there as well.
It almost looked like she was aboutto break character when when Jerry's calling
around and she's trying to get thatsmoke of her face, like she's like,

(16:30):
all right, fuck, I've beencaught. Yeah, you got me.
It's always the lies in this episode, not either taken very very very
poorly in regards like Michael and Robinfor good reason. But then you know,
when Jerry catches out a Lane forlying, it's all taken in tongue
and cheek. It's like, oh, hey, you were just five minutes
ago having to go me, andnow you know I've got you back.

(16:52):
But I was going to ask you, just rewinding a little bit further back
there, talking about Angela going offat Jerry, what's your favorite for I'm
going to beat someone up. Ithink nothing goes past I'm gonna fuck him
up. I think when that i'mgoing to fuck him up gets dropped,
it's like, oh, well,wold, yeah, yeah you can.
I'm gonna beat that shit out ofHim's like can try, and people can

(17:15):
try, You can try, andthen you'd really have to beat someone up
to you know, make them shipPanda. I'm just like, I'm gonna
fuck him up, so that usuallythe yeah, things are about to get
real. It's one of my favoritelines in Tropic Thunder. Yeah, when
Tom Cruise is just on the line, just screaming at that terrorist leader or

(17:36):
that that gang lad who's like,I will massac at you. I will
fuck you up. Yeah, fuckup. It's scary. Man, like's
like, oh shit. But thething is, my favorite memory of Tropic
Thunder was when the film is over. I'm pretty sure they have like the
cast like do a funny dance andstuff during the credits and they say their
names. Who it is. I'llnever forget. It was because Tom Cruise

(17:57):
I really like doing like a dancelike a fat suit or something like that
or whatever, and this all justgoes. That was fucking Tim Cruise didn't
know the entire film and the creditshe just yells that out and everyone just
pissed themselves laughing. It was justthat fund Could you spell that? Please?
No? Next question? All right, mister Davis, it is time
for so I'm trivia for the GoodSamaritan. But before we do that,

of the Hill. But, misterDavis, what is your first trivia question
for the Good Samaritan? Right?Oh, Jerry goes on a date with
Angela when they first meet, whatdo they have to drink? It would
be the answer to my first question. There'll be decaf cappuccino. I get
the feeling that we're going to havea bit of crossover here with that questions,
but there wasn't much to really choosefrom me this one. I thought,

(20:33):
what does our Kramer think he mayhave had a seizure from your next
time starting? Yeah, all right, what's the final one? Then?
Yeah, I think we already saidthe matter to his name, and we
already said where that woman affected bymary ARD's voice was from? So which

(20:55):
film star does George quote when he'stalking about affairs? That's not who I'm
I've got a different one. Whathe's talking about affairs. Oh shit,
he's thinking about suspenders and cocktails andno, I'm lost, I'm tired William
Holden. Of course, yes,yes, yes, yes. And my
final one is which two famous actorsdo Angela and Jerry discuss? That would

(21:21):
definitely? Um, I think hethinks one of them wouldn't leave a ticket.
I would wouldn't leave a Nate onewould or something like that. Yeah,
yeah, one would. One wouldalways leave a note in the other
would not. And yeah that's AnthonyQuinn and Kirk Douglas. Yeah, I
thought Kurt Douglas would leave a note, don't you reckon? He would Kirk
Douglas. There are a few sordidstories about Kirk Douglas, and I'm not
gonna, you know, allude tohere, just you know, can you

(21:42):
can google Kirk Douglas rumors and seewhat happens. Actually google as well as
Kirk Douglas rumors. Indeed, byall means do that. But he also
gave us Michael Douglas, so youknow it all evens out in the end.
Yes, all right, that istrue. Via for the good Samaritan.

But One of Our Friends is availablenow on iTunes, Spotify, or
wherever you find your podcasts. Theoriginal aird of The Good Samaritan was March

(23:15):
fourth, nineteen ninety two. Itwas written by Peter Malman and directed by
Jason Alexander. Actually an interesting tidbithere from Peter Mallon. He said that
when they originally had this on TV, this episode when it originally aired,
Entertainment Tonight would not let them useMary Hart's voice because the show wasn't popular
enough and by the end of theshow's run for syndication, they're like sinn
Felds, like the biggest show ofthe nineties, and they allowed Mary Hart's

(23:37):
voice to be on the episode.But did they use the Entertainment to Night
thing? Because I was watching thison Netflix and I'm like, that's not
in it to name it to nightmusic, Because how many times during the
course of this podcast to vigone dowhat I heard on Netflix did not sound
like that. It didn't. Indeed, no, I'm not so sure.
Maybe they used the original one whoknows, Who Knows, Who Knows?

(24:00):
But yeah, I know the originallythey said no and then they change their
tune because they wanted to be onSignfler. Who wouldn't want to be a
part of Sinfold by the end ofthe show's run, exactly right. So
the episode kicks off with some standup and it's chair discussing all the various
phones. You can tell that thiswas made in nineteen ninety two because there's
this kind of talk about phones.Yeah, it's like, well, what

(24:21):
do we wanted to phone for?It's like, I think people spend more
time with their phone in their handthan not these days, is the question
I was thinking the other day.Right, most people use their phone when
they go to the bathroom, Right, when they go to the toilet,
Right, makes people take their phonesthere? If you take your phone to
the toilet, leave the toilet,wash your hands, and then just touch
your phone again, and you're notjust dirtying your hands again, what's dirtier

(24:44):
a door handle of a toilet oryour phone? I think if you start
thinking about, you know, wheregerms are placed in your house or on
things that you use in an everydayfashion, you'll you'll end up the ball
in the plastic bubble. You justwon't want to go outside. Yeah,
but they don't you think though,if you're literally using your hand, using
your hand to touch your phone,and then you wash your hands, then
touch the dirty, dirty phone again, what was the point? I mean,

(25:07):
I used to wash my hands anyway, But do you know what I
mean? It's about to say,what's this talk about washing hands? What
are your royalty? What was thatjob you had that in today's what m's
it is the kind of a Yesvols Vegas using liquid soap in this economy,

(25:30):
using more the one square a toiletpaper in this economy. But Jerry
is saying that everyone always wants tobe on the phone. Give people a
chance to miss you a little.The episode Yeah Yeah, Joe kicks.
The episode kicks off with Jerry onlyspeaker phone, chatting to a lane from
his car and they're talking about howhe's got an unloud speaker, which is
the right thing to do. Whyis it annointed? The other person she's

(25:51):
like, what are you got meon the oupeak of I'm like, because
you're supposed to. I guess therewas always that feeling, you know,
prior to bluetooth and all that kindof stuff that I c there's a bit
there phone because phone calls are alwayskind of intimate, you know, it's
it's a private conversation between the two. Yeah, I know. But in
nineteen ninety two though, if ifit's a car phone, it's coming through

(26:12):
the car speakers still, right,I guess. I mean you look back
at movies or footage from that era, and a car phone is usually it
looks like an old school telephone,you know, with a cord. Usually
it's not cardless or wireless or anythinglike that. So I mean, you
can have it on speaker phone,but I don't know. It looks like
the kind of phone you would putto your ear, so I don't know

(26:34):
if you If you do have iton loudspeaker, it's like, man,
everyone's listening to a private conversation.It's cheapening the intimacy of the experience between
the twos, you know, orit's just showing. I was like,
hey, guess what I got oneof those fancy speaker phones. Yeah,
I know, you've got to putyour phone. You've received your ear like
a savage. God only knows howmany germs you've got. Did you ever
have a car phone? Oh no, no, absolutely not, but they

(27:00):
i'd loved this next bit, becausethis is totally me, the guy asking
for permission to come into his lane. Yes, yes, hurry up,
go move move. I even sewthat person. I've never done that.
I mean, I'll always give theI mean, that's what you're indicators for.
You're moving forward a little bit andyou indicat or you don't know,
I mean, but all you alwaysgive the wave. Yeah I know that.

(27:22):
But even if they're not sort ofwaving out the window, I mean,
just if they're indicating and it's whatthey've got there, slowing down and
it's like you start slowing down,they still have moved over. It's like
I fucking slow down, fucking hurryup moves that. You're right, Nothing
worse at all. No, I'lltell you one thing that's worse. And
I may have already mentioned this onthe podcast, but happened to me again
on the weekend, and it infuriatesme. And you drive from the car

(27:45):
and you're stuck behind someone at ared arrow to turn right right in the
turning lane, and then it turnsgreen and they don't go, and they
don't go. Get you give themlike a few seconds and they don't go.
So you honk the hornets, andthe plot to say it's green and
they look at you like it's red. I'm like, no, that light's
red, green arrow, motherfucker.Go. They don't go and hunk again.
They point to it again and itgoes yellow and they go, oh

(28:07):
shit, I better go, Andthen you don't go through, you fucking
cocksucker. Clearly upsets Dander. Yeah, I'm gonna fuck you up. You're
right, you're right. There aretwo situations in where that is just terrible.
Where As you said, they haven'tthey they're turning and they haven't knowed

(28:29):
the arrow, and then as itturns yellow, that's when they turn and
you you're still stuck there like achump. Or and this is easier to
forgive because not everyone knows that.You know, some lanes are well,
this is straight but also turning,but they'll get into the turning lane but
still going straight ahead. Yeah,then they be the green arrow and they're
like, well, I'm not turning, I'm just going straight ahead, mat

(28:51):
but but everyone behind you wants todo. Or there's one other thing,
one other scenario just before we moveon to clearly what a good sparitans.
But when it's a a you canturn, but there's no green arrow.
It's just green lights, which meansyou can go. You're just gonna give
way to cars that are oncoming inthe other direction. And they don't realize
that because there's no specific arrow thatthey think there's no green actual arrow,

(29:12):
I can't go, And I'm like, motherfucker, go move forward please,
or all the people who are justyet too sort of shy or too a
little scared to move out into theintersection. It's like, yeah, when
it changes, we'll go. Theonly person who go, Yeah, I'm
like, creep, creep, motherfuckerto creep out a little bit. Have

(29:33):
a little faith in your fellow drivers. Yeah, enough with the rants this
moment. And then when when hedoesn't get the thank you wave, it
always grinds my gears. I'm like, I waited for you at least all
I want, even if it's justa finger, just an acknowledgement that you
acknowledge that I waited for you.It is the one thing that binds us

(29:56):
together as a society. Just thefinger the race, not the acknowledge of
the finger. Nah, yes,the little raised finger acknowledge you know you're
driving down the streets a little narrow, and there are cars parked on either
side. It's like, we're notboth going to make this, We're going
to be there at the same timeone of us. One of us has
to go. I'm going to lethim go. I'm going to take the
hit. You better get the fingeror the wave, or I'm going to

(30:18):
turn around, turn this car aroundand follow you two blocks precisely, I'll
follow you to Queen's and assume aGarate stands, yeah, you are not
You're not a good Samaritan if youdon't give the finger. But Elaine says,
are you free on Friday? BecauseRobin Saduski I think her name is
ask yea. Yeah, she's askedif Lincoln come to dinner with her on
Friday, and Elanda's want to bethere alone, she explains in a moment

(30:41):
while she does want to be therealone, and then Jerry at that point
sees the hit and run. Nowdid Jerry actually say he would come or
was it at the same moment.I think you must have said. I
think you must have said yes,because the land is expecting it. Isn't
he isn't she? Yeah? Ithink she assumes I don't think we heard
Jerry say he would actually do it. I think I think Elane would make
more of it. Yeah, ifhe'd said, yeah, yeah, I'll

(31:03):
come yeah, yeah, because sherocks up to the apartment and says,
oh, you're gonna come to thisthing, and he goes, oh I
got a date. Oh my god. You won't believe what I just saw.
A cart just bashed into a parkcar and spread off right on my
blog. You're gonna follow that car? What? You can't ride him get
away with that lean? The guycould be dangerous. What are you yellow?

(31:26):
I'm not yeller, Jerry. Ifyou don't follow him, you're yellow.
We've all had that moment once we'redriving a car where it's like,
I'm gonna follow this guy and wenever do. But it's like the thrill
of following someone, Like how fardo you think you would follow someone before
you chicken out and going that theyknow that I'm following them. They poured
a gun out, better a betterbail, A bought a bought like half

(31:48):
you you'd follow somebody if you sawthem this block and a half buck and
a half. Yeah, I thinkonce in kind of once you've turned like
maybe three corners. I think theperson in front of you would realize they
onto me. I'd be a dreadfulPI. Yeah. I don't think i'd
be good at following people like Lanecorn him yellow, I'm not yeller.

(32:10):
But Jerry approaches the driver and realizesit's a beautiful woman named Angela. I
don't know Angela, Yeah, butwe find it name's angel a little bit
later, and then he makes upsome I'm assuming fake car stuff. It
just says a bunch of parts ofthe car left, rear tires a little
low, and it could affect thisand affect that because Jerry doesn't come across.
I know, in real life Jerryis a car's guy, but it
doesn't really come across a car's guyin the show. Do you think that's

(32:30):
correct. I mean the way he'stalking about rack, opinion and all that
kind of stuff is like, yeah, you're talking a good game. I
don't know if those things are actuallyaffected by what you're talking about, but
still that is good. I wasalso very taken with just Elaine's burning desire
for justice. I thought that was, like, you follow that person?
Yeah, I love I love itwhen when you're the person agging someone else

(32:52):
will do it. It's like,just do it, You're pussy, you
do it. But Jerry, heexplains a joy. He went for coffee
with her, with a cappuccino,went with decaf cappuccino, did decaf cappuccino.
They're gonna meet again on Friday night. And George, he's speechless,
he has no speech. So Iwound up going off for a decaf cappuccino
with her. Why what a story? I'm speechless, speechless, I have

(33:19):
no speech, you know. Ireally liked her, and we talked,
we flirted, and when she laughed, she'd reach out and touch my arm.
I love when they touch your arm. I can't get enough of that.
Why is that? Let's not evenanalyze? And it's true, though
they touch your arm, it's like, oh okay, okay, yeah we

(33:44):
quick yet we were in our littlebubbles and you pierced it and oh okay,
well this is a prelude, possiblemore touching, maybe even more fun
body parts. But I did like, like, why do we like that?
Let's not even analyze it. Isaw that as a take on just
Seinfeld and Jet because they would normallyanalyze something like that. We're going to
move this story alone. Let'sn't analyzeit. Elaine then comes up and he

(34:06):
says to George, don't you tellanyone? And George uses I dig which
I thought might have gone somewhere Ithought, But no, like they didn't
sort of play it up with it. That to me just feels like such
a white Having a white guy saythat just sounds so funny, Especially George.
It's a phrase that I use alot. It's like I always say
I can dig it. And forsome reason, yeah, I thought this
was one that Jerry ran with abit more, because it does seem like

(34:30):
the kind of thing, doesn't likewhen you know, when George says he'd
love to be abuff or something,so Biff wants to be abuff or whatever
that I mean, it seems likethe kind of thing Jerry would pounce on
and really make a meal out ofit. But no, they just keep
it moving along fairly quickly this episode. George thinks they're going to get along
just fine then to have a good, healthy relationship, because all great couples

(34:50):
have a great story about how theymet. You have a great story about
how he met Louise. I thinkyou've already explained this. You went on
a date on High Street? Isthat right? Well, let's yeah,
that was our first date. ButI mean we met on Tinder. Oh
shit, you may have told methat and I could play you forgot Okay,
Yeah, of course was single atthe time and and keen to mingle.
Well, that's right. I wasfrequently installing and uninstalling Tinder because,

(35:15):
honestly, I mean I didn't thinkit was a dating apple though. It
was just like, this is whereyou go to get laid, right,
I mean rs VP and all thoseones there for dating. This is for
like hot singles in your area.So I want Tinder on a Saturday night.
And I have told this story swipingleft, swipe, swiping right,
whatever. See this very pretty woman, and I'm like, well, she's

(35:39):
really attractive. Let's find out alittle more about it. I can't.
I mean, you know, Ilike to think I'm amount of depth.
I'm not just gonna you know,let the picture tell the whole story.
Let's see, you know, whatshe's got to say about herself. I
was looking for a profile or someindication of who she was, and I
accidentally hit a button called super Likejust like this person, you super like

(36:00):
them, and you can't take herback. I don't think you can.
How many seconds of paid it werethere when you did that? Louise very
generously hit super like back when Ilater found out she also did by accident,

(36:20):
But yeah, it is. Andthen we got to talking and you
know, discovered that I know,we liked chatting with one another. We
had a common appreciation of the musicof Steely Dan, which got us got
us a fair bit of the way. And then we met for drinks.
Coming up on four years ago nextweek. Wow, so it's close to

(36:40):
Valentine's Day. Then it isn't declose to Valentine's Day. So yep,
it's been four years and I keepgoing back from more because she's just the
greatest. By the way, shoutout to my lovely wife Nicola, who
co hosts the Friends podcast here onthe network with us. If you want
to hear my lovely wife Nicola,I can listen to the one about Friends.
But we sell about our ten yearwedding anniversary in two weeks. Oh

(37:02):
my gosh, married for ten years? What was she thinking? Anyway,
Well, enough of that significant otherswere now return you to talking. Sinfeld
already in progress. Yes, sowhere were we up to meet? The
stories? Good have a meeting story? Good have means oh, yes,
of course George has. Yeah,and it's true because like I met Nicola

(37:23):
and the toilet, I've already discussedthat story on a different podcast is only
slightly more dignified. But yeah,it's true that I could put you agree
with Georgia. And then Jerry wonders, um if he's nuts for pursuing her,
because you know, she's she's acriminal, she created this car,

(37:43):
and she she didn't do anything.On the other hand, and then tried
to justify to himself. I lovewhen they did this on Seinfeld. You
know, she's terrible. You know, they do this or he does that,
and you know all this bad stuff. But you know, on the
other hand, I really want todo it. So here's a list of
reasons why I think it's okay todo so. Anyway, So and then
this is where they're drinking the milk, as you're saying earlier, and then

(38:05):
Elaine returns. I liked that shewas there for a reason. She wasn't
just visiting, because it gets annoyingafter a while and it's just like,
hey, who was dropping his planecoming up. It's like, why why
are they constantly just coming over toeach other's house, But she was bringing
over his sweater, which she actuallydoes acknowledge later in the episode when Kramer's
there, she says, cram canhe passed before he's about to um heavy
seizure. She's coming past me Jerrysweat because she wants to use it like
a blanket to keep warm. Butthat's sort of it. At least there's

(38:29):
like it's something that it's like areason for her to return to the apartment.
And then we get the lie aboutfollowing the other driver over the bridge,
over the bridge all the way toQueens, which this is just like
when you're trying to explain to somebodywhy he loves Seine felt so much.
She just showed them scenes like this, don't you because it's just so amazing.
Oh yeah, absolutely, just smalltalk elevated to an art. The

(38:52):
smirk on Jason Alexander's face with Georgewas like tyder about the shoving. She's
buy yeah, she's buying it.Let's let's get this gold. I'm having
fun listening to this story that thefucking karate stands like just you know karate
a little, but then he backedoff cross the downs. He's pretty pathetic.

(39:12):
Actually, So what happened with whatwith the car? What car?
The head and run? Oh right, right, right, right, right
right right. Well, actually theguy went into Queens Queens. You followed
him over the bridge, over thebridge. Oh, I didn't know you

(39:36):
went into Queen's Jerry, yeah,Queens, so good. What So we
gets out of the car and said, hey, buddy, I saw you
hit that car. So he saysto me, what are you gonna do
about? So I said to him, whatever is necessary. I am speechless,

(40:00):
I am without speech. Feller aboutthe shoving? What what shoving?
Oh? It was nothing. Ohwell he kind of lost his temper and

(40:22):
he was pushing me up against thecar. So I went to a karate
stands. You know karate, Iknow a little. Well, this is
so amazing to me, Jerry,when what did he do? He backed
off? It's pretty pathetic. Actually, they Cramer enters and then tell you

(40:49):
tell Cramer. He's like, that'sthe old Cramer about the whole story.
And then you know those people thatdo that, they're mentally disturbed, which
should be sent to Australia and Iwas like, oh, shout to Australia.
It's like, leave the stray outof this. That's what they set
of their convicts. Not anymore.No, and then here though the only
sort of thing I didn't get aboutthis line. I might have just heard
it wrong, but in my noteshave got He says he doesn't know how

(41:10):
he got the bump, and thenproceeds to explain to Elane how he got
the bump, like, what happenedto your head? Oh? I don't
I don't know. I was justwatching entertainment ET and then I fell over,
but my head on the table.So I guess he's trying to say,
I don't know why I fell over, why it happened. Yeah,
he knows, he knows what happened, but he doesn't know why it happened.
Yeah. Yeah, so he probablysaid on the coffee table because he's
turned out. It turns out hehad a seizure. Would you find out?

(41:32):
In a few moments, Jerry's nowhe's got a date on Friday night,
so he can't go I'm with Elane. She's kind of annoyed, but
quickly she's quickly just accept George isa date, isn't she She's like,
yeah, George, or George's quick. George's quick to accept because someone else
is going to pay. I meanthe Elane explains that she doesn't like being
alone with married couples, which Ican kind of understand. It's funny when

(41:55):
once Nicola and I. I thinkit's more so when you have kids.
Once Nicola and I had kids,all of our childless friends, like the
couples, they just like fourth theface of the earth. They're like,
we don't want to hear baby stories, we don't want to hear all this
shit. They just they just disappear. And then when they have kids,
it's like, hey, we haven'tspoken in a while. We got shit
to talk about now because I haven'tfound it with Mitch. When we go

(42:15):
have like coffee with Mitch and ashUm, you know, our previous co
host the fourth in a discount,I'll be like talking about Alliette and Holly
and they're just like cool, Ohyeah, yeah, changing shitty nappies,
Yeah up all night. That doesn'tsound like a good time at all.
And ah no, anyway, Ican't give a fuck. But anyway,
So George has agreed to go withwith Elaine on the on the dinner date

(42:42):
and she says her life's very exciting. It's very exciting. We're now at
the dinner and Elaine tells her lifeof the episode that was it she had
an affair with the bullfighter or shejust was sleeping with the bullfighter. Oh,
I had a relationship. I thinkat the relationship. Yeah, yeah,
with the matter door and George meanwhileseating like a pig again, I
was like, man, I couldnot keep a straight face of U sitting
next to this kind of guy.If you're eating like that at the same

(43:04):
table as me, I've got tosay something. Yeah, when you're out
having dinner, would you not benot embarrassed, but just like, come
on, mate, pull your head. I'm wondering the most sort of diplomatic
way to go about that. Enjoyingthat. How's how's that Maile working out
for you? Yeah? I knowright. I'm I hate loud eaters.
So sometimes it's one thing Nick whenI have Like when I was sitting there

(43:27):
watching TV and Nick was just like, I like the sound. I'm like,
must you choose so fucking loud?There's a there's a phrase for that,
like a condition misophonia. That's calledokay. I'm I'm maybe Seinfeld had
a bit to deal with this,but I am constantly paranoid about you know,

(43:49):
food around my mouth, food andmy beard or something like that.
So I always have the napkin onstandby next to me when I'm eating,
you know, and certainly with particulardishes like pasta or whatever. But you
know, every second bite, I'mlike grabbing up dah dah DAHK sure making
sure because I mean and I think, yeah, I'm pretty sure that I'm
just having horrible acid flashbacks of youknow, George on the JumboTron with Sunday

(44:15):
Chocolate Sunday all over his face.We were watching Lou and I were watching
the Open last night, watching theAustralian Open final with Um with Djokovic and
Sitzi bats Um, and they keptcutting two people in the in the crowd.
But they had like a real slowmo thing going on, so and
it was usually a reaction shot tolike a point being scored or whatever.

(44:37):
There was this one lady who's sortof forgive me. I know this is
a podcast and there's going to bea visual demonstration. Dane, maybe you
can tell the folks what I'm doinghere, But she went like who and
I slowed it down for the purposes. Yeah, but that's exactly how it
looked because they did it in slow. I thought, this poor woman,
you know, probably her children orgrandchildren. Go now, no, we

(44:59):
saw you on the tennis. Youlook like what were you thinking? You
looked deranged. But they did.There's more than months to a few people
who are just like I reckon thepeople. The directors just haven't stood for
ships and giegs sometimes like the audienceare home all like this one. Let's
bless play this. Oh yeah Iwas. I was saying, Look,

(45:22):
it's like there's a snooper up inthe rock, just taken shots at these
poor people. It's like there's there'sthere's talent scouts around the arena just looking
for the ones. They'll pour aface. Let's fake us on these guys.
Keep it on, keep it onfor ten minutes. You're bend to
get something. But this is whereRobin sneezes, and I feel George waited

(45:42):
long enough. And as it turnsout, Michael's never said God bless you
too, Robin either, so hewas he wasn't going to say it.
So but George baited long enough here. I mean, I'm a stickle for
saying God bless you. If noone says it, I'm going to say
it. I think it's just Curtius. I think if someone sneezes, they
appreciate someone saying God bless you,or just yeah, if you just say
bless you. I have written downpretty much exactly the same. You've got

(46:04):
to say God bless you. Itend to say God bless you because I
don't know bring Candolic upbringing. Butusually I'll just go to bless you.
And I don't think I occasionally giveson tied because it's good to shake it
up a little bit. But youalways have to acknowledge that when when someone
says, oh, bless you.And also used to happen back at the
office. We're most to work inthe office, someone would sneeze, I'd

(46:24):
wait, I'd wait, no onesay anything. I go bless you.
If they don't acknowledge you say blessyou, that's that's like not giving the
finger. When you're driving. Ifsomeone says bless you to you, you
always say oh thanks. Don't justlet someone say bless you and then just
like a drive by and just letit go, like you catchphrase that maybe

(46:44):
didn't quite take off. We livein in society, people keep it together
by you know, raising a littlefinger of gratitude and acknowledgement, or recognizing
that someone said bless you by sayingthanks. The process of a sneeze is
a three step process, the sneezeto bless you and the acknowledge, the
thank you. It's the holy trinity. Yes, God bless you and God

(47:07):
bless you. It's a holy trilogy. But then George here, the way
he goes about it though, isprobably not the way I see. He
wasn't gonna say nothing like now you'vestarted it. Well, George cannot enjoy
an easy w He's got to He'sgot to taint the win one way.

(47:28):
And I also did love that whenElaine's telling her story, she's so focused
on her lie that she's nottt reallypaying attention to George. He's like,
pass me the bed past with this, and She's just like nott of them
looked at him. She's like,whatever you peak, just fucking keep eating.
Just shut up, sent in thecorner and shut up for your face.
He's so gross. Does he getthe bread? The first time,
because he asked twire, doesn't hedoing Bread's definitely one of the times.
Yeah, sualt and breath maybe.And then Jerry's now having a date with

(47:52):
um with Angela eating the ice creamand as you said, very seductive.
I was like, she is enjoyingthis ice cream. Don't get thin the
ice cream might be enjoying it,know what I But then he tries to
be He's trying to basically acknowledge toher. You know, did you you
didn't leave a note? I knowthat you didn't leave that note. He

(48:12):
wants her to sort of It's acase, like I was saying earlier,
pointing out someone's eating like a pig. You don't want to say you're eating
like a pig. You want tosort of bring it up in a way
where it's like a top of yourconversation where they go, oh, maybe
I should do something about this.He's trying to bring it up. Yeah
you basically, I mean, likeI said before, I am out of
the nap and I think, yeah, if you're with at a table with
someone who's eating like a pig andyou wanted to sort of maybe dissuade them

(48:35):
doing so, I would probably playup my napkin thing, go on my
face. Yeah, oh yeah,I'll be oh man, call me crazy.
There's nothing worse than just, youknow, having stuff on your face.
I mean, I'm always just wipingmy face because, oh god,
it'd be so bad to have stuffon your face. You know, if
you're eating like a fucking pig.That's exactly how it goes now, and

(48:59):
that's and that's why I was untendered. But she's completely not listening at all,
she's not acknowledging it. She justgoes in for another kiss. And
I was like, well, damn, might as well go for it.
Then Michael yells at George and youthink you're special? And I don't the
conversation. My mother always said thatI'm not special. That's like the line
of the episode. I thought thatmy mother always says I and then he

(49:20):
I felt uncomfortable in this next bitwhen he starts yelling at Robin, so,
no, you taking his side.I'm not taking I'm not taking his
side. Who side you're taking?We're not taking your side. And then
she sneezes and George is like,by all means or yours, sir,
the floor is yours. But It'salso great because I mean, it kind
of gives them an out when theyd have been bending. It lays like,

(49:42):
I get the feeling she's probably gonnaleave this guy anyway, or at
least he should because he's a scumthere. Yeah, at least he's a
prick. That's right. I didn'tactually say it like that. So the
fact that she's cheating, it's notlike she's cheating on a decent human being.
She should never cheat. I mean, you shouldn't. She's leave,
you know what I mean. Butsome people can't. I guess it depends
on the situation. But yeah,you're right. Making him be a pricker.
Dinner softens the blow when she hadin the affair with Joye. A
little bit later on, and thenJerry stops kissing Angela so they can discuss

(50:06):
Kirk Douglas. He's just really tryingto sort of get out of her.
You know, I know what youdid last week? I said, God
Bless you? Was that so wrong? The question is did you allow a
space for the husband to come inwith his God bless you, because as
the husband, he has the rightof first refusal. Yeah, yes,

(50:34):
yes, I definitely waited, butlet me say this. Once he passes
on that option, that guy,bless you was up for grabs, no
argument unless she's one of these multiplesneezers and he's holding his God bless you
in abeyance until she completes the series. What I really liked about this was
the multiple sneeze yet possibility, becauselike, this is a married couple.

(50:59):
I mean, it's only you donotice about your significant other. It's like
they've got certain ways of doing things. It's like, well, no,
they're a triple sneezer. Yeah,I'm a double sneeze and I'm not And
I'm not gonna go bless you,bless you, bless you. I'm just
gonna wait for it. I'm gonnawait for the sequence to play out and
gonna be like, bless you.Nicol always waits for the second sneeze.
Now, my mum, she's theonly person in this world that she always

(51:19):
goes, bless you and again.She always says, just like that,
bless you and again. She's alwaysdone that. I think I might actually
do as well. If someone sneezestwice, if there's a bit of a
gap, yeah, I mean I'llusually jumping with the bless you on the
again, like mum knows him adouble seas like that. But then um,

(51:43):
yeah, as you were saying,holding in advance to complete the series,
maybe she was having enough night.But then Elaine enters and cause him
mystic goes in tights and George hasdone nothing wrong. George has done nothing
wrong. Then Jerry sneezes, ohshut up. Then do you think this
was Julie mispronouncing your word by accident? And they re edited this to leave
it in which he says, stupid, stupid, stupid stition, Probably because

(52:08):
it just seems like a really oddthing to it, Like it's always like
takes you out of the moment fora second. It does. It's not
really a gag, is it.No? You know, I mean,
it's not the kind of gag thatyou would write. There's a great story
about the great movie Boogie Notes.It's a bit of an adult line,
so I won't say the whole thing. But William H. Macy his wife

(52:28):
is having sex with someone in thedriveway of the party that they're at,
and he sort of says, mywife's in the driveway with it something and
there's something and he messed it up. And the directors thought it was soap
and said, okay, oh that'sreally funny, but okay, we better
do it and do it rather stuff. And they did a few more takes
and he'd said it wrong again andhe loved it. So the director loves

(52:49):
so much, said that kind ofworks. Let's keep it in. Yeah.
So yeah, I mean, Ithink it's often the case that you
know, you'll be really in themoment, or you will just make a
slip of the tune it's like ohno, and adds a dash assault or
adds a little you know, alittle bit of hot sauce to the to
the proceedings. Let's live it inbecause you usually get a result that wouldn't
have come out acting. It hasto be natural. Yeah, yeah,

(53:10):
No, I think I think itwas a genuine slip of the tongue on
jlds. But it seems that wayanyway. But slight side. But I've
just received a message from our manSammy j Australian comedian. Oh gosh,
and he says he is keen tocome into our four figure discap podcast in
a couple of weeks. There wego another guest, Oly Moley, We're
reckoning up the guests this has turnedabout is fair play because I was a
guest on Sammy J's ABC radio showone time only. Yeah, I was

(53:35):
never invited back. Thanks, thanksfor that guy. Producers like dot,
hey, um, we've got aguy coming back. Oh god, this
is always death. Thanks for thatguy. Don't call us, we call
you. No, don't call us, don't call us, Please love a

(53:57):
god, don't call us. Idon't recall saying good luck anyone, but
that's great. News is a funnyguy, um, and I look forward
to talking about The Simpsons with him, and we're going to choose one.
So I'm thinking maybe, okay,something to do around comedy, like I
trust the episode. I think likea comedian based episode. Well, I

(54:19):
don't know if he does it somuch anymore, but it was Sammy Jay
the puppy, Puppy Puppet Jay thepuppet. Yeah, Becauds you know I
love Gabbo anyway, but yeah,so Sam, you're a fan of wrestling
a w slash ring of on asuperstar. Colt Cabane is going to be

(54:42):
coming on the fourth Figure discap podcastas well. In those few weeks to
review the episode The Homer They Fallthe boxing episode, which I know Guy
certainly loves as well. So ifyou are a fan of the Simpsons and
you haven't checked out our Simpsons podcastyet, what are you doing? Hit
that subscribe button links in the scriptof this podcast. Okay, Doki,
So we've got the big discussion hereabout the fuck up mind from the lane.

(55:04):
Then we've got that you're so goodlooking. I get what they're going
for, but doesn't doesn't work.But then she says that Robin wants George
to call her. George's like,call her, Len's like, yeah,
it's probably just to apologize for whatwent down. That's what she did with
me. So immediately he's like,where's the phone. I have to go
call this woman immediately. So thenat meanwhile et is on and as George
goes to get the phone, Kramerreturns the video or a video. I

(55:28):
liked this another reason for him toenter the apartment. It's just, you
know, he's dancing's having a jigand the music's playing, and then of
course her voice starts. That's whatsends him to the seizure. But borrowing
tapes like with your best mates,it's like, it's just what you did
wasn't it. People people lend tapes. No, you don't really lend anything
to friends anymore, do Yeah,because it's all just available at you finger
tips. Don't really need to sharephysical media anymore. But there was a
time when it's like, oh,where's my where's my video of fucking power

(55:51):
Edge? Ah, fucking Maddie stillgot it? That is correct. But
having said that, I mean,my good Power Wrath friend of the show,
hopefully he's listening a rath um.We've had a bit of a DVD
and Blu Ray sharing thing going onrecently. I mean, you know,
he's bought a few cool titles thatI've got some extra features. I'm like,
oh, wow, I should reallyshould watch this in four K and

(56:13):
you know, check out the commentaryand all that. And I had a
few obscure titles. Are like hewanted me to recommend to him, So
I'm like, here, you gottatake this bunch and I'll take that.
Yeah, it's one of life's goodlittle print pleasures, sharing, you know,
information and knowledge with with your pals. Pay fifty percent for the for
the item in the first place,because you're not paying for what he got,

(56:34):
and you're sham with him. Soyou're you're saving fifty percent by sharing.
That's very right, and it mightbe a bit of a try before
you buy a thing. Might Ohthat's so good, I want my own
copy. Yeah, and that's whyyou burned it before you return it to
them. That is also true.And I haven't burned a DVD or anything
like that for a long time.They were those were the days hiring videos
from the video shop and then burningthem. I oh, man, I
never did it with discs, butI did it with vhs. I had

(56:57):
the two video two Yeah. Yeah, built myself a very nice little library
either transitional period where we we didhave a DVD player yet, but I
had a player that could copy fromDVD to VHS, so I'd get it
in DVD quality on a VHS.That's pretty neat. My man, Steve,
my good buddy Steve. He wasone of the first guy well when

(57:21):
we met in the early nineties,he was one of the only people I
knew who had a laser disc player. Yeah, we're on way back in
the dime lazer. This awesome lasersrad You know, I mean, you're
a big Vinyl guy, as Iknow. I mean this is like the
CD or the DVD version of vinyl. We knew it, I did.
I bought the more in Disneyland fora honeymoon. Nick I bought Nicola the

(57:43):
Lion King soundtrack the picture disc vinylright Lanking is a favorite movie. She
loves the soundtrack. But when youbuy the picture dislike that at the Disney
shot, they don't come into propercover. It's just like a slip case
with the record inside, and it'sship with it's on your shove because you
can't like it's just like this plasticclear sleeve. So I what the laser
disc of the Lion King for liketen dollars off eBay and it put the
vinyl into that sort looks like arecord. Oh what a guy, thoughtful

(58:08):
man. But yeah, my manSteve had Yeah, they had the laser
of this player and would occasionally yeah, because he was a fairly text heavy
guy, he would he was ableto make VHS copies. I got a
VHS copy in Laser Disquality of TrueRomance like six months before it was released
in Strain Cinemas. I thought,I was like cinemas in July. That

(58:29):
would have been the best. Wow. I was sort of swaggering around.
Maybe he's born with it, maybehe's got hs true romance at though the
idea of like flipping the movie halfwayas I'm just like, that's so cool.
Yeah, anyway, where we wereum borrowing it takes rocks where he

(58:50):
has the seizure in the background,and that the joke being that not that
he's having a seizure, that Jerryand Elaine just just don't notice it at
all. And he really goes forit, doesn't he. Michael Rich It's
like he does not hold back.Like I said, it's a mate.
Yeah, you think he didn't actuallybreak a bone? Yeah, but Elaine
points out that it's Mary Hart's voice, the same as that one from Albany.
What well, she apologized, andthen she wanted to know if we

(59:14):
could get together Wednesday afternoon. Gettogether. Maybe she just wants to talk
to me. Married women don't gettogether. They have affairs. Oh my
god, an affair so adult.Elaine doesn't seem all that bothered by it,
Yeah at all, like at all. She's like, oh, yeah,
she wants to fuck my friend.You think that she'd have work some

(59:37):
sort of must George. I thinkshe's just you know, Okay, this
is the way things work. I'mgoing to leave it in the hands of
you. It's nothing new with me. I'm not saying to have it,
I'm not saying to not have it. But you go by your own moral
compass here. Maybe she hates Michaelso much as well after what he trusting
possibility that girl was a douche.George though this humming an affair so adult

(01:00:02):
probably wouldn't cost me any money.It's great that in the episode that he
directed, he's just really steering toGeorge b a slob and a cheap skate
and a part adulter. Kramer pointsout, you know people that have affairs,
the ones that hit cars and driveaway. Joe's like, yeah,

(01:00:22):
yeah, you're right. Then Kramersays that that that car, you know
who it belongs to. That blondein the blue sweatpants. Everyone's like the
blue the blond in the It's funnyhow like you there's when you're young or
whatever, that there's this girl thatlives close nearby. You don't know her
name or anything, but you knowthere's something about her that you describe.
All your friends nowhere ads like thishere the bomb with the blue sweatpants.

(01:00:43):
I know who you're talking about.I know the girl. It's like women
were like, you know the guythat walks a cheer our, but oh,
I know the guy. You know, the guy that walks at cheer
our, Yeah, every day atseven am. But Elaine, she says
she's going to meet a guy withgray sweatpants. And then we engaged Kramer
saying, do you know it's notJohn Tesh? John Tesh was the co
host et. Yeah, uh,why would you have said that. I

(01:01:07):
don't get the like, I knowit's maybe with John Tesh's voice that set
him off. Oh, I thoughthe meant because she said I'm going to
see thought you thought that was theguy on the gray SquarePants. Yeah,
I thought that's what he was referringto. Okay, Okay, it's just
because that the lines were said outof order, and now it makes more
sense to me. Okay, apologieslisteners for being a fool. Jerry then
explains that you know, he's hada crush on this blonde for a year

(01:01:29):
and she's so pretty shi it belongson a harmite card. It reminds me
of Um. There's a line inthe movie Elf which I think is just
the sweetest line I've ever heard,where he says, I'll just say her
name is Susan. I can't rememberher names, well, her name is,
but it's the woman who plays umthe like the mechanic in Mandalorian.
Hear the bomb pay me sis.I believe amy she playing the secretary of

(01:01:52):
the al stat of James m khn. Because like, Susan, you're your
face is so pretty, you belongin a Christmas card. I was like,
it's just like the sweetest thing,like but it wants me at that.
But then he says, no,too bad that I can't do anything
with the blonde two because of Angela. Low's a thug. And then he
tried to justify to himself. Youknow what, I would have society to

(01:02:15):
do something about this, ye thatthe tables have turned. I mean,
what kind of sick person does somethinglike that. The woman belongs in prison.
I mean I actually owe it tosociety to do something about this.
I can't sit by and allow thisto go on. It's a moral issue,
is what it is. You can'tcompromise your principles. I might not

(01:02:35):
live with myself. I can't liveI'm not religious, but I certainly know
where to draw the line. There'ssome country needs more people like you.
Don't sell yourself short saying God blessyou to every time. Dick and Harry
a great person. The rest Ibelieve strongly in that, as you know,
there should be more people like us. That's why the world's in the
shape that it's in. You're tellingme, it's just it's always great when

(01:03:00):
they just try to justify the situation, just pick and choose, completely change
their entire principles to suit what theywant for their agenda. For that particular
moment, they realize they're in sortof murky situations of both them so they
have to be a bit codependent,like I'm gonna push you up a little,
Well, I'll push you up inreturn. Yeah, that's what friends
are, fool. Jerry goes tosee Becky. Now, by the way,

(01:03:22):
I don't know if she's listed inthe credits, but playing Becky is
an actress named Helen Slater. Forkids of the eighties like myself, you
reverted as woman as Helen Slater becauseshe is indeed just super cute. She
was Supergirl. There was a bigbudget movie of Supergirl that was an absolute

(01:03:45):
disaster. It's a shame, andit kind of knocked her career off the
rails for a little bit. Thenshe returned in a film called The Legend
of Billy Jean, which is abit of a cult hit among certain Generation
X types. But then she wasin a few other movies like Ruthless People,
really funny comedy with Bette Midler andDanny DeVito. And she was also
Michael J. Fox's love interest inthe Secret of My Success. Oh yeah,

(01:04:08):
Christie, right, I think shemight have been Christie. Yeah it
wasn't wasn't she in City Sliquers aswell? Of course she was in City
Slickers. Yeah, that's right.And yeah, but Helen Slater Um,
yes, Generation next dream girl.She reminds me of them. The actress,
her name escates me, but youwouldn't have seen, obviously the new
Santa Claus series with um Tim Allen. The actress is Elizabeth Mitchell. Oh

(01:04:32):
yeah, who was on She wasunlost on a bunch of other stuff.
She looks like a like a earlynineties version of Elizabeth Mitchell. Not a
bad comparison. They're dandel yes anyway, But yeah, so he's now,
Oh my god. The woman thatI've had thought for all this time.
She's touched my arm and said,God, bless you. That's the great
thing about Seinfeld, how they justdraw in these whole little bits and pieces

(01:04:54):
and give them great significance and sortof stubbed them throughout the episode, and
quite often quite subtle, I mean, not subtly, but elegantly. So
it's like everything's kind of connected,you know that it means something. And
yeah, I'm a big fan ofthis is this is a well written episode
by mister Melman. Yeah, Georgeis now laying in bed next to Robin.
And I thought that you're saying earlier, Oh no I didn't. You

(01:05:16):
didn't come adulgy. I did.But then I don't worry. If I
didn't do it with you, wouldhave done it with somebody else. It's
like, so there at George's place, I'm assuming is it? I get
it'd have to be, wouldn't it. Yeah, look at the just the
rest of development in that room.I mean, what is it a post
like the green lantern above his bedor something I didn't even pay to George.
Yeah, it looks like a verychildish room. But Robin's coming.

(01:05:40):
I couldn't say that I got.I got pop vinyls up the wazoo here.
Yeah, I'm looking around the room. I'm like, am I a
child? I'm sure if I wentto the room that is shared by you
and Nicola, I wouldn't be seeinga green lantern poster above the bed.
No, no, no, notat all. We're actually on our war.
We have a chicksaw puzzle of ourwedding photo. There you go.

(01:06:02):
What do you have on your wallbesides their photo of your ex wife?
What do I have I've got inmy bedroom above my bed and on the
walls in there, I've got aprint by an artist called Shag, who
I think I've talked about on oneof our shows in the past. I
was sort of a pop art kindof deal. And it's a sort of

(01:06:23):
a painting or a print of asort of a fifties cocktail party done this
silt of cartoon style. I likeit a lot. An art Deco style
poster of the German movie Metropolis,and one or two others, and just
little bits and pieces. A verynice picture of a black cat that was
given to me as a gift.Yeah, but no superheroes in my bedroom.

(01:06:46):
Hi, it's Michael. Hi,Michael, is Robin there? Robin?
No, why she said she wasgoing to be with you? Oh
I haven't spoken to her all Uhas a as a matter of fact,
Um, she she was here,and uh she left a note, but

(01:07:10):
I I wasn't here, but Ihave the note right here. She's not
with you, then where is she? Well? I don't know. Is
she with your bald friend from theother night? No, no, come
on, Michael, he's finished.I'm gonna sew his ass to his face.

(01:07:32):
I'm gonna twist his neck so hardhis lips will be his eyebrows.
I'm gonna bring his joints and reattachthem. You're so good looking. If
you're gonna use Alan as an alibi, give her the heads up if what
a terrible Alibi's gotta know they're beingan alibi. That's how alibis were.

(01:07:54):
What a terrible thing to do,Just what an idiot? And then yeah,
obviously Marco disc is absolute ballistic forgood reason. I mean, he's
a horrible person, but Chitty's notgreat. But yeah, so you're so's
asked to his face. Yeah,okay, And there's something else. He
says something about his eyebrows or whatever. But then he sneezes and says,
she says, you're so good looking, and I was like, ah,
it's not working now, Angela.Now is threatening Jerry. Now you listen

(01:08:16):
to me, shuck face. Youtell anybody anything, and I will carve
my initials in your brain, tissues, your sculling to work dramatic like a
bad cabbage head. I'll have aparty on your head. Anyway, this
is Angela. Oh, your bodyhas out with my teeth. Well,

(01:08:39):
I think I get the jest ofit. So you don't see anything to
anybody about me hitting that car.What car? Good? I'm glad we
understand each other. It's not complicated. Okay, you can't tell if he's
legitimately terrified or he's kind kind ofamused, and he but he can't.

(01:09:01):
He recognizes that she's so worked upthat he can't return fire with I think
he's just gotta go. I'm gonnalet you get this out of your system
and then I'm going to let youleave my apartment and then we're never going
to see each other again. Yeah, because, like you know, if
I don't ever to have it acouple of times when Nicholas like furiously angry,
and like when she sat angry,she's funny. I'm just like and

(01:09:21):
then inside I'm like, don't makeit visible that you are laughing. And
then we get Elane of obviously walkinginto the background. She realizes here she
heard the whole thing go down.She starts calling out Jerry for his story
and making him feel silly. ThenGeorge enters and she says, if you
checked your machine, because she's worriedfor George's safety because Michael says he's going

(01:09:42):
to see his ass with his faceand he explains the story to George.
George made it is like, whatdo you mean he said that? And
I'm like, George, what wasshe supposed to say? But it's it's
a great your lie? How hardis it? The lie? Not very?
And then if the whole EPs Iwas just about lying, then it's
your fault. You've got an oldjuice up with your Matador story. Then

(01:10:05):
Jerry, oh Matador story, mand then the way he just delivers the
name is just like the greatest thingever and he just revels in it.
Then we get Jerry chatting two artto Becky and she says she's already got
an estimate. It's one hundred andseventy five dollars, and Jerry, trying
to be a good samaritan, sayshe'll pay for it and get this friend
to pay it back. But Ican see why Becky would imediately assume Wait

(01:10:28):
a minute, motherfucker, it wasyou trying to be a good samaritan.
But also, with a few anglesbeing played in there, shall we say
it's just plausible enough that it's like, get maybe bus. How about I'll
pay it now and then they canpay me. It's look, it's convenient,
it's easily done. But no,Becky sees right through it. Jerry

(01:10:49):
is going on a trip for threeweeks, doing a schedule different stand ups,
and George's going to follow with youbecause there's a maniac's talking to him
throughout the city. Kramer walks inand he says, can't leave. You
did what you did. No,Becky told me all about it, he
explains to Kramer, and no,no, I paid it for someone else.
I was coming for somebody else.And then he says, well,
what's good, I've got a datewith Becky And they's just saying. He
just doesn't care. It works forme. As long as that, as

(01:11:12):
long as it works smears, allthat matters, and he gave him excuse
to catch up, and then wecut to Kramer arriving at Becky's house and
unfortunately she's listening to or she's watchingEntertainment Tonight in the background, and that's
the end of that day. I'massuming because he has his seizure, it
really is. Because he seizures upand I mean his hairs slip downs.
I'm assuming he's got some kind ofproduct in it. It's sort of going
all over the place. It lookslike Becky Okay, hell, Lad's about

(01:11:35):
to break as well, because ohmy god, he's so close and he's
getting stuff all over me. Yeah, it's kind of like I knew he
was going to go wacky, butnot this wacky. It's it's guys,
isn't man man? But that isour review of The Good Samaritan. And
thank you so much, guys fortuning into this week's episode. I hope
you enjoyed it. A really reallyfunny episode of Seinfeld that like has like

(01:11:56):
I would say two or three momentshere that I really like quit essential seinfold,
like the line stories and how unravelsand things like that. Seinfeld always
as a good payoff for a fuckup like a unraveling. It's always hilarious
and it's in spades in this episodeset. And I thought all the supporting
casts were great as well. Isaid Helen Slade was great as Becky,
and I thought Melinda McGraw was greatas Angela as well. Robin was played

(01:12:18):
by an actress named Anne Talman,and Joseph Malone played Michael. They were
a believable angry couple, don't youreckon? Yes, I think so.
You can buy the underlying simmering hostility. Yeah. I wouldn't say she was
necessarily angry, she was just moreliving in a hostile environment. But yeah,

(01:12:41):
