that's how you really do learn about my thank you by thank you.
I wasn't going to say anything, but then I could see he wasn't going
to open his mouth. Hello or you lovely people out there in podcasts world,
Welcome to Talking Signfi, the podcast where we discuss everything we know about
the show about nothing. Apologies to your listens out there now wondering what's going
on with my voice. I've lost my voice over the weekend. The kids
were driving me crazy, but I love him to death. But yeah,
so by sound a bit offen this in this podcast, that is why.
But we are here to review a really good episode of signfot not to be
confused with the finale. It is the good Samaritan. I am Dando and
he's so good looking, and I'm going, do you know they wanted that
catchphrase to catch on, kind of like these pretzels are making me firsty and
it just didn't work. I'm watching this going I can see what you're trying
to do here, and I'm not going to buy it. Sometimes I just
don't take No. There's nothing worse than when someone really tries to make fair
chappen to quote them great movie Mean Girls. But yeah, look, Sinfeld
has got enough catchphrasees that grew organically that yeah, I think we'll cut them
a little slack if they tried to actually manufacture one in a lab um.
I love Louisa's house. There is a garment known as an udie. Are
you aware of the Uodie? Udies may or may not be a part of
our four figure discount network in the near future, So yes, we do
love our friends at the This is a wonderful coincidence. I had no idea
about this because Dano keeps me in the dark, as you should. No,
no, no, that's not the case. I'll turn I'll turn the
lights on when we get enough pages to pay the white thank you for zing
pow. Keep them coming. But over at the Love of Luisa's House,
there is yes, there's garment the udie and this one in particular is just
peppered with Seinfeld catchphrases, so you know, it's a big hoodie. I
mean, this is a family decent sized one. So yeah, I think
they've got enough one liners in the tank to you not be concernamate one that
didn't quite take. And I don't know, I think the ones that aren't
necessarily the ones that everyone drops in everyday conversation are a little more fun,
you know. I mean, I think we've spoken in the past about well,
when we were talking about King of the Hill recently, because we've got
a King of the Hill podcast coming up, folks, just in curse you,
I didn't know it's already, it's already out there. The premier well
They getting to Know You episode is out there. Y. Yeah. We
talked about how if someone drops a line from an obscure show or song or
whatever, something that's not necessarily the top of the pops. You go,
hey, cool dude, No, your staff, you or me going to
be bud. Yeah. So if someone say, you know, if someone
sneezes and someone goes, you're so good looking, it's like someone knows their
Signfeld and you're either making your best bud or you'll just ignore them for the
rest of your life. But there'll be go onto that. Oh, that's
right, because I started by saying you're so good looking, which you are,
Brendan. I can I can actually see why they though try to use
this way of trying to get a catchphase happening, because they're probably thinking,
or everyone comes across somebody at sneezes a 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 you to our catchphrase. It's free promotion.
I can see why they chose that response to to a sneeze to try and
make that a catchphrase, but it just it felt too manufactured. Yeah to
me, So you don't want to see the scenes all the times here yea,
as I said, to my last girlfriend, you just gotta let it
happen. No, I didn't say that too, but you know what,
you know, what I did feel was not manufactured. The lies in this
episode. This was an episode filled with lies. And I love a good
lie. I think we all love a good life, especially when we get
away with one. Oh yeah, but when our lies unraveled. But everyone
tells a lie in this episode except for Cramer. I think they all tell
a lie in some way, and it all seems to backfire in some way.
Some of it's taken in a more positive note. Some of it's not
taken very lightly at all. When you when you threatened Angela, but when
you sort of threatened her, what would you say? Her image? She
doesn't take it very well, doesn't she? Oh my god, she was
a nightmare. It's one of my favorite parts of the episode. We'll get
to that, but I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll turn
Shall we say that? Legion is something else either? It was just a
spectacular, really good work. Now. The thing about Kramer not lying is
Kramer is so unbound to societal structure and tendencies and niceties and all that kind
of stuff that he doesn't have to you know. I mean, he knows
that Jerry's got to crush on is it Becky Gyelki, Yes, Becky,
Yeah, yeah, Becky? The was it the blonde and the blue sweatpants?
The blonde with the blue sweatpants knows that he's got to cry and I
know all's fair in love and war. But Cramer just sort of swans.
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 anything like that. But at the same time,
Jerry is your buddy. It might say, 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 he just believes Becky straight away. It's
like his best friend. I love, I loved his life. It's like
I don't even want to look at you 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 operates by his own code, and the fact
that he can't lie not all that he chooses not to lie most of the
time is usually what causes everyone else's story to unravel. Correct now when he
answers the phone that time or what was last week? The limo? The
limo when when he fucks up everyone's names, 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 this just in case it's like no, no,
fuck it, no, no, no, this is the wrong number.
But yeah, you know. This was actually the first and only episode
that Jason Alexander directed. I did know that. I noted that down in
my notes because I'm like, good on you, Jay, but only only
episode only director. I don't think he's ever directed anything else as he or
well, apparently he had directed some stage shows that kind of thing, so
he said, I was he was used to directing stage shows, but nothing
to had cameras, and all of a sudden there was four cameras on the
set, so he had to get to take some getting used to. But
he really enjoyed it. It's I wonder I didn't get to do more episodes.
Maybe he thought, well, that's that's add that to my resume and
I'm done. I don't want to do this ever again. But he noted
that um that Michael Richards. There's the in particular the scene with the seizure.
Remember, he said that he went to Michael and said, like,
how do you want to do this? You know this is your scene.
I'll work around you. I'll make sure it works to how you want to
act this. And apparently Michael was like, oh, let's not let's not
overdo it. Lets me kind of subdue. Let's kind of keep it casual,
you know, make it feel like a 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 this and doing that, and there's a really
great blooper you can find of Jerry and Elaine's not really breaking character, but
Jerry's just he's just breaking Carri. He's like, I can't keep this.
Guy's losing his mind. He's falling over the table. And Michael said that
he deliberately when they were doing rehearsals and whatnot. Didn't act out much at
all because he wanted to keep it when the cameras on for two reasons.
A he wanted to surprise everybody on set and B he thought he might break
a bone with how much he was moving his body around. A very good
point, because he has really going for it. He really was going for
it. It's a risky move on Michael 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 you really go for it like that someone's going
to go, oh my god and just lose it completely. But no,
it's a it's a it's very very funny, of course. But something I
like about it is also that he does 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 the scene's going to go that for the whole
duration, but then he falls to the floor and just it makes it even
funnier, just the fact that there's an occasional arm coming up or leg or
whatever like that. That's good on Michael's part, good on good direction on
Jason's part, a good collaboration between the two of them. Well, I
love that. I love that Jason was able to take the comedy away for
the fact that he was having a seizure, and the comedy being that Elaine
and Jerry are completely oblivious that there is this guy losing his mind in the
background. That's the joke. Very good. Absolutely, you don't want to
you don't really want to poke fun at people having a seizure, Like someone
having a seizure isn't something to laugh at. But the fact that they didn't
notice it is what's meant to be funny there. But it actually and it
might seem absurd to non American viewers even back in the day, but this
is actually a true story. And that's what Elaine points out. The woman
from Alburney I was actually having seizures from Mary Hart's voice, Can you believe
that? I cannot believe that. But if they're saying it's true, then
I guess it is one of my trivi questions. Okay, yes, but
yeah, so she left ET how long 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 few ten years, didn't she Mary Heart
Mary Hart. Yeah, when maybe I'm doing Liza Gibbons leave et. Let's
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 we if you are not a patron we this
month we did The Sundlock Kids, and next month it is our guys choice,
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 for that, And you shouldn't wait for it
either, because get patronizing and you'll get it before anybody else. Yeah,
exactly right. But yeah, so I understand it interesting that actually happened.
It's funny when you watch you watch stories on podcast on podcast one and sitcoms
and things like this, anything, it was just a bit of a bit
of a bit of a stretch and you're like, oh no, this really
happened. It was similar to when um we did the episode of The Simpsons
Google. Guy Pan and Dana Gould wrote that episode, and I thought it
was a bit much that, you know, she's going all back to China
to adopt the baby, and it's like he actually did that free time,
and I'm like, huh, there you go. Well over legend stories like
that, they're often interesting, and there's often more to them than just the
punchline or just the yeah, just the headline. I mean, there's the
I think that maybe one of the best 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 it turned out to be like scalding hot,
like so hot it gave her third degree burns when it spilled on her.
They didn't give a proper notification about exactly how hot it was. I think
there was something to do with the cups as well, that they were sort
of flimsy designed and the lead would come off and spill, so you know,
it's not just a case of only when coffee is still having to burn
made tink. It's more like, no, they served as woman Moulton lava
in a cup. Yeah, she didn't go there with the intention of suing
them. She just wanted to come from It. Wasn't some scam. I
was like, no, I was legitimately should pike or scalding Hodd coffee and
possibly your you know, flimsy flimsy cup arrangement. That is a good one.
Still, all right, what were your favorite moments from The Good Samaritan?
I'll tell you something. I'm I don't know if there's a nice coincidence
or not, but there's a scene early on where George and Jerry or in
Jerry's apartment pouring. George's pouring glasses of milk, and I've written it,
you're drinking milk, guys. In like two seconds later, Jerry said,
am I drinking milk? And I just 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 of milk? Milk by itself? No,
I honestly cannot remember. I reckon child. Yeah, I haven't had milk
in the house for goodness knows how long I mean i'd milk at all.
Don't you drink coffee? I have my coffee black there you okay, yeah,
yeah, I mean if I'm having a light as usually one that I
bought. Nicola runs milk like it's nobody's business. She English and their tea,
but she also has the the soy milk so's It's like it's like five
dollars a cart and it's like, oh my god, we'll lose into the
almond milk when she when she has a coffee. Yeah, I mean,
we have a come visit love it the weas. We'll make sure he kept
matter of that because that will kill my wife. Oh okay, I forgot
about the nuts. Nobody likes the nuts. Well, Nicola doesn't like the
nuts. Uh what I was gonna say? Yes, I thought that was
funny. I really liked the anger in 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 thought this 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, he means business. He really does. And
then you sort of cut. I feel like he cut immediately to angela sort
of confronting um confronting Jerry, and I 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 after that. Yeah, yeah, of course
you're right. Yeah. Yeah. The first thing he's like that was suck
face. I'm like, oh my god. Yeah, So I really love
that. Yeah, like I said, he'll turn for em Angela because you
know, she's been so sort of charming 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 committing adultery against that ice cream. So yeah,
I really like And speaking of adultery, yeah, that just to rewind
a little bit, I just love that cut to Robin and Georgian Ben and
he's all bunched up that he committed adultery and he's like, so a matter
of fact, you didn't commit adultery. I did. He was like,
hey, the hook I ge free card. Yeah, he's so happy about
that. I mean, he's not entirely bad. He's doing a little bit
fly, a little bit guilty, but it's like, oh, yeah,
well, I guess if you're going by the book definition, No, I
didn't commit a tel dry good for me. Now, I really enjoyed Jerry
telling his lie and George coaxes him to continue, so just to tell us
about it. And then Jerry starts off, oh right, just trying to
store for time, trying to think of what he's gonna say. Tell him
about the shoving. Yeah, yeah, that when George st shoving, it's
like, what happened? He backed off? 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
death stare on someone. But he seemed kind of like, okay, let's
see if I can improvise my way out of this, or I have a
little fun with it, just throwing in 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
catches out a lane for lying and he delivers a Adoardo carraccio, Where would
you meet to? Where would you meet a matta door in New York City,
Where's Bids? Yeah, I just thought Julia is acting there as well.
It almost looked like she was about to break character when when Jerry's calling
around and she's trying to get that smoke of her face, like she's like,
all right, fuck, I've been caught. Yeah, you got me.
It's always the lies in this episode, not either taken very very very
poorly in regards like Michael and Robin for good reason. But then you know,
when Jerry catches out a Lane for lying, it's all taken in tongue
and cheek. It's like, oh, hey, you were just five minutes
ago having to go me, and now you know I've got you back.
But I was going to ask you, just rewinding a little bit further back
there, talking about Angela going off at Jerry, what's your favorite for I'm
going to beat someone up. I think nothing goes past I'm gonna fuck him
up. I think when that i'm going to fuck him up gets dropped,
it's like, oh, well, wold, yeah, yeah you can.
I'm gonna beat that shit out of Him's like can try, and people can
try, You can try, and then you'd really have to beat someone up
to you know, make them ship Panda. I'm just like, I'm gonna
fuck him up, so that usually the yeah, things are about to get
real. It's one of my favorite lines in Tropic Thunder. Yeah, when
Tom Cruise is just on the line, just screaming at that terrorist leader or
that that gang lad who's like, I will massac at you. I will
fuck you up. Yeah, fuck up. It's scary. Man, like's
like, oh shit. But the thing 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 and stuff during the credits and they say their
names. Who it is. I'll never forget. It was because Tom Cruise
I really like doing like a dance like a fat suit or something like that
or whatever, and this all just goes. That was fucking Tim Cruise didn't
know the entire film and the credit she just yells that out and everyone just
pissed themselves laughing. It was just that fund Could you spell that? Please?
No? Next question? All right, mister Davis, it is time
for so I'm trivia for the Good Samaritan. But before we do that,

for the Good Samaritan? Right? Oh, Jerry goes on a date with
Angela when they first meet, what do 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 have a bit of crossover here with that questions,
but there wasn't much to really choose from me this one. I thought,
what does our Kramer think he may have had a seizure from your next
time starting? Yeah, all right, what's the final one? Then?
Yeah, I think we already said the matter to his name, and we
already said where that woman affected by mary ARD's voice was from? So which
film star does George quote when he's talking about affairs? That's not who I'm
I've got a different one. What he's talking about affairs. Oh shit,
he's thinking about suspenders and cocktails and no, I'm lost, I'm tired William
Holden. Of course, yes, yes, yes, yes. And my
final one is which two famous actors do Angela and Jerry discuss? That would
definitely? Um, I think he thinks one of them wouldn't leave a ticket.
I would wouldn't leave a Nate one would or something like that. Yeah,
yeah, one would. One would always leave a note in the other
would not. And yeah that's Anthony Quinn and Kirk Douglas. Yeah, I
thought Kurt Douglas would leave a note, don't you reckon? He would Kirk
Douglas. There are a few sordid stories about Kirk Douglas, and I'm not
gonna, you know, allude to here, just you know, can you
can google Kirk Douglas rumors and see what happens. Actually google as well as
Kirk Douglas rumors. Indeed, by all means do that. But he also
gave us Michael Douglas, so you know it all evens out in the end.
Yes, all right, that is true. Via for the good Samaritan.

But One of Our Friends is available now on iTunes, Spotify, or
wherever you find your podcasts. The original aird of The Good Samaritan was March
fourth, nineteen ninety two. It was written by Peter Malman and directed by
Jason Alexander. Actually an interesting tidbit here 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 use Mary Hart's voice because the show wasn't popular
enough and by the end of the show's run for syndication, they're like sinn
Felds, like the biggest show of the nineties, and they allowed Mary Hart's
voice to be on the episode. But did they use the Entertainment to Night
thing? Because I was watching this on Netflix and I'm like, that's not
in it to name it to night music, Because how many times during the
course of this podcast to vigone do what 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 who knows, Who Knows, Who Knows?
But yeah, I know the originally they said no and then they change their
tune because they wanted to be on Signfler. Who wouldn't want to be a
part of Sinfold by the end of the show's run, exactly right. So
the episode kicks off with some stand up and it's chair discussing all the various
phones. You can tell that this was made in nineteen ninety two because there's
this kind of talk about phones. Yeah, it's like, well, what
do we wanted to phone for? It's like, I think people spend more
time with their phone in their hand than 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 phones there? If you take your phone to
the toilet, leave the toilet, wash your hands, and then just touch
your phone again, and you're not just dirtying your hands again, what's dirtier
a door handle of a toilet or your phone? I think if you start
thinking about, you know, where germs are placed in your house or on
things that you use in an everyday fashion, you'll you'll end up the ball
in the plastic bubble. You just won'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,
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 that job you had that in today's what m's
it is the kind of a Yes vols Vegas using liquid soap in this economy,
using more the one square a toilet paper in this economy. But Jerry
is saying that everyone always wants to be on the phone. Give people a
chance to miss you a little. The episode Yeah Yeah, Joe kicks.
The episode kicks off with Jerry only speaker phone, chatting to a lane from
his car and they're talking about how he's got an unloud speaker, which is
the right thing to do. Why is it annointed? The other person she's
like, what are you got me on the oupeak of I'm like, because
you're supposed to. I guess there was always that feeling, you know,
prior to bluetooth and all that kind of stuff that I c there's a bit
there phone because phone calls are always kind of intimate, you know, it's
it's a private conversation between the two. Yeah, I know. But in
nineteen ninety two though, if if it's a car phone, it's coming through
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 anything like 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 put to your ear, so I don't know
if you If you do have it on 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, or it's just showing. I was like,
hey, guess what I got one of those fancy speaker phones. Yeah,
I know, you've got to put your phone. You've received your ear like
a savage. God only knows how many germs you've got. Did you ever
have a car phone? Oh no, no, absolutely not, but they
i'd loved this next bit, because this is totally me, the guy asking
for permission to come into his lane. Yes, yes, hurry up,
go move move. I even sew that person. I've never done that.
I mean, I'll always give the I mean, that's what you're indicators for.
You're moving forward a little bit and you indicat or you don't know,
I mean, but all you always give the wave. Yeah I know that.
But even if they're not sort of waving out the window, I mean,
just if they're indicating and it's what they'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 hurry up moves that. You're right, Nothing
worse at all. No, I'll tell you one thing that's worse. And
I may have already mentioned this on the podcast, but happened to me again
on the weekend, and it infuriates me. And you drive from the car
and you're stuck behind someone at a red arrow to turn right right in the
turning lane, and then it turns green and they don't go, and they
don't go. Get you give them like a few seconds and they don't go.
So you honk the hornets, and the 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 it goes yellow and they go, oh
shit, I better go, And then 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 are two situations in where that is just terrible.
Where As you said, they haven't they they're turning and they haven't knowed
the arrow, and then as it turns yellow, that's when they turn and
you you're still stuck there like a chump. 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
but but everyone behind you wants to do. Or there's one other thing,
one other scenario just before we move on to clearly what a good sparitans.
But when it's a a you can turn, but there's no green arrow.
It's just green lights, which means you can go. You're just gonna give
way to cars that are oncoming in the other direction. And they don't realize
that because there's no specific arrow that they think there's no green actual arrow,
I can't go, And I'm like, motherfucker, go move forward please,
or all the people who are just yet too sort of shy or too a
little scared to move out into the intersection. It's like, yeah, when
it changes, we'll go. The only person who go, Yeah, I'm
like, creep, creep, motherfucker to creep out a little bit. Have
a little faith in your fellow drivers. Yeah, enough with the rants this
moment. And then when when he doesn'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 just a finger, just an acknowledgement that you
acknowledge that I waited for you. It is the one thing that binds us
together as a society. Just the finger 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 not both going to make this, We're going
to be there at the same time one of us. One of us has
to go. I'm going to let him go. I'm going to take the
hit. You better get the finger or the wave, or I'm going to
turn around, turn this car around and follow you two blocks precisely, I'll
follow you to Queen's and assume a Garate stands, yeah, you are not
You're not a good Samaritan if you don't give the finger. But Elaine says,
are you free on Friday? Because Robin Saduski I think her name is
ask yea. Yeah, she's asked if Lincoln come to dinner with her on
Friday, and Elanda's want to be there alone, she explains in a moment
while she does want to be there alone, and then Jerry at that point
sees the hit and run. Now did 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? I think 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, if he'd said, yeah, yeah, I'll
come yeah, yeah, because she rocks up to the apartment and says,
oh, you're gonna come to this thing, 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 park car 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 guy could be dangerous. What are you yellow?
I'm not yeller, Jerry. If you don't follow him, you're yellow.
We've all had that moment once we're driving a car where it's like,
I'm gonna follow this guy and we never do. But it's like the thrill
of following someone, Like how far do you think you would follow someone before
you chicken out and going that they know that I'm following them. They poured
a gun out, better a better bail, A bought a bought like half
you you'd follow somebody if you saw them this block and a half buck and
a half. Yeah, I think once in kind of once you've turned like
maybe three corners. I think the person in front of you would realize they
onto me. I'd be a dreadful PI. Yeah. I don't think i'd
be good at following people like Lane corn him yellow, I'm not yeller.
But Jerry approaches the driver and realizes it's a beautiful woman named Angela. I
don't know Angela, Yeah, but we find it name's angel a little bit
later, and then he makes up some I'm assuming fake car stuff. It
just says a bunch of parts of the car left, rear tires a little
low, and it could affect this and affect that because Jerry doesn't come across.
I know, in real life Jerry is a car's guy, but it
doesn't really come across a car's guy in the show. Do you think that's
correct. I mean the way he's talking 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 actually affected by what you're talking about, but
still that is good. I was also very taken with just Elaine's burning desire
for justice. I thought that was, like, you follow that person?
Yeah, I love I love it when when you're the person agging someone else
will do it. It's like, just do it, You're pussy, you
do it. But Jerry, he explains 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 I wound up going off for a decaf cappuccino
with her. Why what a story? I'm speechless, speechless, I have
no speech, you know. I really 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 even analyze? And it's true, though
they touch your arm, it's like, oh okay, okay, yeah we
quick yet we were in our little bubbles and you pierced it and oh okay,
well this is a prelude, possible more touching, maybe even more fun
body parts. But I did like, like, why do we like that?
Let's not even analyze it. I saw that as a take on just
Seinfeld and Jet because they would normally analyze something like that. We're going to
move this story alone. Let'sn't analyze it. Elaine then comes up and he
says to George, don't you tell anyone? And George uses I dig which
I thought might have gone somewhere I thought, 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 say that just sounds so funny, Especially George.
It's a phrase that I use a lot. It's like I always say
I can dig it. And for some reason, yeah, I thought this
was one that Jerry ran with a bit more, because it does seem like
the kind of thing, doesn't like when 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 like the kind of thing Jerry would pounce on
and really make a meal out of it. 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
have a great story about how they met. You have a great story about
how he met Louise. I think you've already explained this. You went on
a date on High Street? Is that right? Well, let's yeah,
that was our first date. But I mean we met on Tinder. Oh
shit, you may have told me that and I could play you forgot Okay,
Yeah, of course was single at the time and and keen to mingle.
Well, that's right. I was frequently installing and uninstalling Tinder because,
honestly, I mean I didn't think it was a dating apple though. It
was just like, this is where you go to get laid, right,
I mean rs VP and all those ones 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 swiping left, swipe, swiping right,
whatever. See this very pretty woman, and I'm like, well, she's
really attractive. Let's find out a little more about it. I can't.
I mean, you know, I like 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, what she's got to say about herself. I
was looking for a profile or some indication of who she was, and I
accidentally hit a button called super Like just like this person, you super like
them, and you can't take her back. I don't think you can.
How many seconds of paid it were there when you did that? Louise very
generously hit super like back when I later found out she also did by accident,
But yeah, it is. And then we got to talking and you
know, discovered that I know, we liked chatting with one another. We
had a common appreciation of the music of 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 next week. Wow, so it's close to
Valentine's Day. Then it isn't de close to Valentine's Day. So yep,
it's been four years and I keep going back from more because she's just the
greatest. By the way, shout out to my lovely wife Nicola, who
co hosts the Friends podcast here on the 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 year wedding anniversary in two weeks. Oh
my gosh, married for ten years? What was she thinking? Anyway,
Well, enough of that significant others were now return you to talking. Sinfeld
already in progress. Yes, so where 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
and the toilet, I've already discussed that 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 a criminal, she created this car,
and she she didn't do anything. On the other hand, and then tried
to justify to himself. I love when 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 to do it. So here's a list of
reasons why I think it's okay to do so. Anyway, So and then
this is where they're drinking the milk, as you're saying earlier, and then
Elaine returns. I liked that she was there for a reason. She wasn't
just visiting, because it gets annoying after a while and it's just like,
hey, who was dropping his plane coming up. It's like, why why
are they constantly just coming over to each other's house, But she was bringing
over his sweater, which she actually does acknowledge later in the episode when Kramer's
there, she says, cram can he passed before he's about to um heavy
seizure. She's coming past me Jerry sweat because she wants to use it like
a blanket to keep warm. But that's sort of it. At least there's
like it's something that it's like a reason for her to return to the apartment.
And then we get the lie about following the other driver over the bridge,
over the bridge all the way to Queens, which this is just like
when you're trying to explain to somebody why 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 small talk elevated to an art. The
smirk on Jason Alexander's face with George was 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 the fucking karate stands like just you know karate
a little, but then he backed off cross the downs. He's pretty pathetic.
Actually, So what happened with what with the car? What car?
The head and run? Oh right, right, right, right, right
right right. Well, actually the guy went into Queens Queens. You followed
him over the bridge, over the bridge. Oh, I didn't know you
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 says to me, what are you gonna do
about? So I said to him, whatever is necessary. I am speechless,
I am without speech. Feller about the shoving? What what shoving?
Oh? It was nothing. Oh well he kind of lost his temper and
he was pushing me up against the car. So I went to a karate
stands. You know karate, I know 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
tell Cramer. He's like, that's the old Cramer about the whole story.
And then you know those people that do that, they're mentally disturbed, which
should be sent to Australia and I was like, oh, shout to Australia.
It's like, leave the stray out of 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 about this line. I might have just heard
it wrong, but in my notes have got He says he doesn't know how
he got the bump, and then proceeds to explain to Elane how he got
the bump, like, what happened to your head? Oh? I don't
I don't know. I was just watching 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 probably said on the coffee table because he's
turned out. It turns out he had a seizure. Would you find out?
In a few moments, Jerry's now he'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 is a 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 mean the Elane explains that she doesn't like being
alone with married couples, which I can kind of understand. It's funny when
once Nicola and I. I think it'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 the face 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't spoken in a while. We got shit
to talk about now because I haven't found it with Mitch. When we go
have like coffee with Mitch and ash Um, 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, Oh yeah, yeah, changing shitty nappies,
Yeah up all night. That doesn't sound like a good time at all.
And ah no, anyway, I can't give a fuck. But anyway,
So George has agreed to go with with Elaine on the on the dinner date
and she says her life's very exciting. It's very exciting. We're now at
the dinner and Elaine tells her life of the episode that was it she had
an affair with the bullfighter or she just was sleeping with the bullfighter. Oh,
I had a relationship. I think at the relationship. Yeah, yeah,
with the matter door and George meanwhiles eating like a pig again, I
was like, man, I could not keep a straight face of U sitting
next to this kind of guy. If you're eating like that at the same
table as me, I've got to say something. Yeah, when you're out
having dinner, would you not be not embarrassed, but just like, come
on, mate, pull your head. I'm wondering the most sort of diplomatic
way to go about that. Enjoying that. How's how's that Maile working out
for you? Yeah? I know right. I'm I hate loud eaters.
So sometimes it's one thing Nick when I have Like when I was sitting there
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 called okay. I'm I'm maybe Seinfeld had
a bit to deal with this, but I am constantly paranoid about you know,
food around my mouth, food and my beard or something like that.
So I always have the napkin on standby next to me when I'm eating,
you know, and certainly with particular dishes like pasta or whatever. But you
know, every second bite, I'm like 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 you know, George on the JumboTron with Sunday
Chocolate Sunday all over his face. We were watching Lou and I were watching
the Open last night, watching the Australian Open final with Um with Djokovic and
Sitzi bats Um, and they kept cutting two people in the in the crowd.
But they had like a real slow mo thing going on, so and
it was usually a reaction shot to like a point being scored or whatever.
There was this one lady who's sort of forgive me. I know this is
a podcast and there's going to be a visual demonstration. Dane, maybe you
can tell the folks what I'm doing here, 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 or grandchildren. Go now, no, we
saw you on the tennis. You look 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 the people. The directors just haven't stood for
ships and giegs sometimes like the audience are home all like this one. Let's
bless play this. Oh yeah I was. I was saying, Look,
it's like there's a snooper up in the rock, just taken shots at these
poor people. It's like there's there's there's talent scouts around the arena just looking
for the ones. They'll pour a face. Let's fake us on these guys.
Keep it on, keep it on for ten minutes. You're bend to
get something. But this is where Robin sneezes, and I feel George waited
long enough. And as it turns out, Michael's never said God bless you
too, Robin either, so he was 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 no one 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 down pretty much exactly the same. You've got
to say God bless you. I tend to say God bless you because I
don't know bring Candolic upbringing. But usually I'll just go to bless you.
And I don't think I occasionally gives on tied because it's good to shake it
up a little bit. But you always 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 in the office, someone would sneeze, I'd
wait, I'd wait, no one say anything. I go bless you.
If they don't acknowledge you say bless you, that's that's like not giving the
finger. When you're driving. If someone says bless you to you, you
always say oh thanks. Don't just let someone say bless you and then just
like a drive by and just let it go, like you catchphrase that maybe
didn't quite take off. We live in in society, people keep it together
by you know, raising a little finger of gratitude and acknowledgement, or recognizing
that someone said bless you by saying thanks. The process of a sneeze is
a three step process, the sneeze to bless you and the acknowledge, the
thank you. It's the holy trinity. Yes, God bless you and God
bless you. It's a holy trilogy. But then George here, the way
he goes about it though, is probably not the way I see. He
wasn't gonna say nothing like now you've started it. Well, George cannot enjoy
an easy w He's got to He's got to taint the win one way.
And I also did love that when Elaine's telling her story, she's so focused
on her lie that she's nottt really paying 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 the corner and shut up for your face.
He's so gross. Does he get the bread? The first time,
because he asked twire, doesn't he doing Bread's definitely one of the times.
Yeah, sualt and breath maybe. And then Jerry's now having a date with
um with Angela eating the ice cream and as you said, very seductive.
I was like, she is enjoying this 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 to her. You know, did you you
didn't leave a note? I know that you didn't leave that note. He
wants her to sort of It's a case, 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 to sort of bring it up in a way
where it's like a top of your conversation where they go, oh, maybe
I should do something about this. He's trying to bring it up. Yeah
you basically, I mean, like I 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 and you wanted to sort of maybe dissuade them
doing so, I would probably play up my napkin thing, go on my
face. Yeah, oh yeah, I'll be oh man, call me crazy.
There's nothing worse than just, you know, having stuff on your face.
I mean, I'm always just wiping my face because, oh god,
it'd be so bad to have stuff on your face. You know, if
you're eating like a fucking pig. That's exactly how it goes now, and
that's and that's why I was untendered. But she's completely not listening at all,
she's not acknowledging it. She just goes in for another kiss. And
I was like, well, damn, might as well go for it.
Then Michael yells at George and you think you're special? And I don't the
conversation. My mother always said that I'm not special. That's like the line
of the episode. I thought that my mother always says I and then he
I felt uncomfortable in this next bit when 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's also great because I mean, it kind
of gives them an out when they d have been bending. It lays like,
I get the feeling she's probably gonna leave this guy anyway, or at
least he should because he's a scum there. Yeah, at least he's a
prick. That's right. I didn't actually say it like that. So the
fact that she's cheating, it's not like 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. But some 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 had in the affair with Joye. A
little bit later on, and then Jerry stops kissing Angela so they can discuss
Kirk Douglas. He's just really trying to sort of get out of her.
You know, I know what you did last week? I said, God
Bless you? Was that so wrong? The question is did you allow a
space for the husband to come in with his God bless you, because as
the husband, he has the right of first refusal. Yeah, yes,
yes, I definitely waited, but let 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 multiple sneezers 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, because like, this is a married couple.
I mean, it's only you do notice 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 gonna wait for the sequence to play out and
gonna be like, bless you. Nicol always waits for the second sneeze.
Now, my mum, she's the only person in this world that she always
goes, bless you and again. She always says, just like that,
bless you and again. She's always done that. I think I might actually
do as well. If someone sneezes twice, if there's a bit of a
gap, yeah, I mean I'll usually jumping with the bless you on the
again, like mum knows him a double seas like that. But then um,
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 has done nothing wrong. George has done nothing
wrong. Then Jerry sneezes, oh shut 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
it just seems like a really odd thing to it, Like it's always like
takes you out of the moment for a second. It does. It's not
really a gag, is it. No? You know, I mean,
it's not the kind of gag that you 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
is having sex with someone in the driveway of the party that they're at,
and he sort of says, my wife'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's really 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 and he loved it. So the director loves
so much, said that kind of works. Let's keep it in. Yeah.
So yeah, I mean, I think it's often the case that you
know, you'll be really in the moment, or you will just make a
slip of the tune it's like oh no, and adds a dash assault or
adds a little you know, a little bit of hot sauce to the to
the proceedings. Let's live it in because you usually get a result that wouldn't
have come out acting. It has to be natural. Yeah, yeah,
No, I think I think it was a genuine slip of the tongue on
jlds. But it seems that way anyway. But slight side. But I've
just received a message from our man Sammy j Australian comedian. Oh gosh,
and he says he is keen to come into our four figure discap podcast in
a couple of weeks. There we go another guest, Oly Moley, We're
reckoning up the guests this has turned about is fair play because I was a
guest on Sammy J's ABC radio show one time only. Yeah, I was
never invited back. Thanks, thanks for that guy. Producers like dot,
hey, um, we've got a guy coming back. Oh god, this
is always death. Thanks for that guy. Don't call us, we call
you. No, don't call us, don't call us, Please love a
god, don't call us. I don't recall saying good luck anyone, but
that's great. News is a funny guy, 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 like a comedian based episode. Well, I
don't know if he does it so much anymore, but it was Sammy Jay
the puppy, Puppy Puppet Jay the puppet. Yeah, Becauds you know I
love Gabbo anyway, but yeah, so Sam, you're a fan of wrestling
a w slash ring of on a superstar. Colt Cabane is going to be
coming on the fourth Figure discap podcast as well. In those few weeks to
review the episode The Homer They Fall the boxing episode, which I know Guy
certainly loves as well. So if you are a fan of the Simpsons and
you haven't checked out our Simpsons podcast yet, what are you doing? Hit
that subscribe button links in the script of this podcast. Okay, Doki,
So we've got the big discussion here about the fuck up mind from the lane.
Then we've got that you're so good looking. 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 what went 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 then at meanwhile et is on and as George
goes to get the phone, Kramer returns the video or a video. I
liked this another reason for him to enter the apartment. It's just, you
know, he's dancing's having a jig and the music's playing, and then of
course her voice starts. That's what sends 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 share physical media anymore. But there was a
time when it's like, oh, where's my where's my video of fucking power
Edge? Ah, fucking Maddie still got 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 on recently. I mean, you know,
he's bought a few cool titles that I've got some extra features. I'm like,
oh, wow, I should really should watch this in four K and
you know, check out the commentary and all that. And I had a
few obscure titles. Are like he wanted me to recommend to him, So
I'm like, here, you gotta take this bunch and I'll take that.
Yeah, it's one of life's good little 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,
and you're sham with him. So you're you're saving fifty percent by sharing.
That's very right, and it might be a bit of a try before
you buy a thing. Might Oh that's so good, I want my own
copy. Yeah, and that's why you 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 burning them. I oh, man, I
never did it with discs, but I did it with vhs. I had
the two video two Yeah. Yeah, built myself a very nice little library
either transitional period where we we did have a DVD player yet, but I
had a player that could copy from DVD 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 was one of the first guy well when
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 lasers rad You know, I mean, you're
a big Vinyl guy, as I know. I mean this is like the
CD or the DVD version of vinyl. We knew it, I did.
I bought the more in Disneyland for a honeymoon. Nick I bought Nicola the
Lion King soundtrack the picture disc vinyl right Lanking is a favorite movie. She
loves the soundtrack. But when you buy the picture dislike that at the Disney
shot, they don't come into proper cover. It's just like a slip case
with the record inside, and it's ship with it's on your shove because you
can't like it's just like this plastic clear sleeve. So I what the laser
disc of the Lion King for like ten dollars off eBay and it put the
vinyl into that sort looks like a record. Oh what a guy, thoughtful
man. But yeah, my man Steve 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 able to make VHS copies. I got a
VHS copy in Laser Disquality of True Romance like six months before it was released
in Strain Cinemas. I thought, I was like cinemas in July. That
would have been the best. Wow. I was sort of swaggering around.
Maybe he's born with it, maybe he's got hs true romance at though the
idea of like flipping the movie halfway as I'm just like, that's so cool.
Yeah, anyway, where we were um borrowing it takes rocks where he
has the seizure in the background, and that the joke being that not that
he's having a seizure, that Jerry and Elaine just just don't notice it at
all. And he really goes for it, 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 actually break 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, and then she wanted to know if we
could get together Wednesday afternoon. Get together. Maybe she just wants to talk
to me. Married women don't get together. 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
sort of must George. I think she's just you know, Okay, this
is the way things work. I'm going 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 Michael so much as well after what he trusting
possibility that girl was a douche. George though this humming an affair so adult
probably wouldn't cost me any money. It's great that in the episode that he
directed, he's just really steering to George b a slob and a cheap skate
and a part adulter. Kramer points out, you know people that have affairs,
the ones that hit cars and drive away. Joe's like, yeah,
yeah, you're right. Then Kramer says that that that car, you know
who it belongs to. That blonde in the blue sweatpants. Everyone's like the
blue the blond in the It's funny how like you there's when you're young or
whatever, that there's this girl that lives close nearby. You don't know her
name or anything, but you know there's something about her that you describe.
All your friends nowhere ads like this here the bomb with the blue sweatpants.
I know who you're talking about. I know the girl. It's like women
were like, you know the guy that walks a cheer our, but oh,
I know the guy. You know, the guy that walks at cheer
our, Yeah, every day at seven am. But Elaine, she says
she's going to meet a guy with gray sweatpants. And then we engaged Kramer
saying, do you know it's not John Tesh? John Tesh was the co
host et. Yeah, uh, why would you have said that. I
don't get the like, I know it's maybe with John Tesh's voice that set
him off. Oh, I thought he meant because she said I'm going to
see thought you thought that was the guy on the gray SquarePants. Yeah,
I thought that's what he was referring to. Okay, Okay, it's just
because that the lines were said out of order, and now it makes more
sense to me. Okay, apologies listeners for being a fool. Jerry then
explains that you know, he's had a crush on this blonde for a year
and she's so pretty shi it belongs on a harmite card. It reminds me
of Um. There's a line in the 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 remember her names, well, her name is,
but it's the woman who plays um the like the mechanic in Mandalorian.
Hear the bomb pay me sis. I believe amy she playing the secretary of
the al stat of James m khn. Because like, Susan, you're your
face is so pretty, you belong in 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. You know what, I would have society to
do something about this, ye that the tables have turned. I mean,
what kind of sick person does something like that. The woman belongs in prison.
I mean I actually owe it to society to do something about this.
I can't sit by and allow this to go on. It's a moral issue,
is what it is. You can't compromise your principles. I might not
live with myself. I can't live I'm not religious, but I certainly know
where to draw the line. There's some country needs more people like you.
Don't sell yourself short saying God bless you to every time. Dick and Harry
a great person. The rest I believe 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 telling me, it's just it's always great when
they just try to justify the situation, just pick and choose, completely change
their entire principles to suit what they want for their agenda. For that particular
moment, they realize they're in sort of 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 in return. Yeah, that's what friends
are, fool. Jerry goes to see Becky. Now, by the way,
I don't know if she's listed in the credits, but playing Becky is
an actress named Helen Slater. For kids of the eighties like myself, you
reverted as woman as Helen Slater because she is indeed just super cute. She
was Supergirl. There was a big budget movie of Supergirl that was an absolute
disaster. It's a shame, and it kind of knocked her career off the
rails for a little bit. Then she returned in a film called The Legend
of Billy Jean, which is a bit of a cult hit among certain Generation
X types. But then she was in a few other movies like Ruthless People,
really funny comedy with Bette Midler and Danny DeVito. And she was also
Michael J. Fox's love interest in the Secret of My Success. Oh yeah,
Christie, right, I think she might have been Christie. Yeah it
wasn't wasn't she in City Sliquers as well? 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 you wouldn't have seen, obviously the new
Santa Claus series with um Tim Allen. The actress is Elizabeth Mitchell. Oh
yeah, who was on She was unlost on a bunch of other stuff.
She looks like a like a early nineties version of Elizabeth Mitchell. Not a
bad comparison. They're dandel yes anyway, But yeah, so he's now,
Oh my god. The woman that I'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 just draw in these whole little bits and pieces
and give them great significance and sort of 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 of this is this is a well written episode
by mister Melman. Yeah, George is now laying in bed next to Robin.
And I thought that you're saying earlier, Oh no I didn't. You
didn't come adulgy. I did. But then I don't worry. If I
didn't do it with you, would have 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 bed or something I didn't even pay to George.
Yeah, it looks like a very childish room. But Robin's coming.
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 went to the room that is shared by you
and Nicola, I wouldn't be seeing a green lantern poster above the bed.
No, no, no, not at all. We're actually on our war.
We have a chicksaw puzzle of our wedding photo. There you go.
What do you have on your wall besides their photo of your ex wife?
What do I have I've got in my bedroom above my bed and on the
walls in there, I've got a print by an artist called Shag, who
I think I've talked about on one of our shows in the past. I
was sort of a pop art kind of deal. And it's a sort of
a painting or a print of a sort of a fifties cocktail party done this
silt of cartoon style. I like it a lot. An art Deco style
poster of the German movie Metropolis, and one or two others, and just
little bits and pieces. A very nice picture of a black cat that was
given to me as a gift. Yeah, but no superheroes in my bedroom.
Hi, it's Michael. Hi, Michael, is Robin there? Robin?
No, why she said she was going to be with you? Oh
I haven't spoken to her all Uh as a as a matter of fact,
Um, she she was here, and uh she left a note, but
I I wasn't here, but I have 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 the other night? No, no, come
on, Michael, he's finished. I'm gonna sew his ass to his face.
I'm gonna twist his neck so hard his lips will be his eyebrows.
I'm gonna bring his joints and reattach them. 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 being an alibi. That's how alibis were.
What a terrible thing to do, Just what an idiot? And then yeah,
obviously Marco disc is absolute ballistic for good reason. I mean, he's
a horrible person, but Chitty's not great. 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
to me, shuck face. You tell 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 a party on your head. Anyway, this
is Angela. Oh, your body has out with my teeth. Well,
I think I get the jest of it. 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 of amused, and he but he can't.
He recognizes that she's so worked up that he can't return fire with I think
he's just gotta go. I'm gonna let you get this out of your system
and then I'm going to let you leave 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 a couple of times when Nicholas like furiously angry,
and like when she sat angry, she's funny. I'm just like and
then inside I'm like, don't make it visible that you are laughing. And
then we get Elane of obviously walking into 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. Then George enters and she says, if you
checked your machine, because she's worried for George's safety because Michael says he's going
to see his ass with his face and he explains the story to George.
George made it is like, what do you mean he said that? And
I'm like, George, what was she supposed to say? But it's it's
a great your lie? How hard is it? The lie? Not very?
And then if the whole EPs I was just about lying, then it's
your fault. You've got an old juice up with your Matador story. Then
Jerry, oh Matador story, m and then the way he just delivers the
name is just like the greatest thing ever and he just revels in it.
Then we get Jerry chatting two art to Becky and she says she's already got
an estimate. It's one hundred and seventy five dollars, and Jerry, trying
to be a good samaritan, says he'll pay for it and get this friend
to pay it back. But I can see why Becky would imediately assume Wait
a minute, motherfucker, it was you trying to be a good samaritan.
But also, with a few angles being 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 can pay me. It's look, it's convenient,
it's easily done. But no, Becky sees right through it. Jerry
is going on a trip for three weeks, doing a schedule different stand ups,
and George's going to follow with you because there's a maniac's talking to him
throughout the city. Kramer walks in and 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 date with Becky And they's just saying. He
just doesn't care. It works for me. As long as that, as
long as it works smears, all that matters, and he gave him excuse
to catch up, and then we cut to Kramer arriving at Becky's house and
unfortunately she's listening to or she's watching Entertainment Tonight in the background, and that's
the end of that day. I'm assuming because he has his seizure, it
really is. Because he seizures up and I mean his hairs slip downs.
I'm assuming he's got some kind of product in it. It's sort of going
all over the place. It looks like Becky Okay, hell, Lad's about
to break as well, because oh my 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, but not this wacky. It's it's guys,
isn't man man? But that is our review of The Good Samaritan. And
thank you so much, guys for tuning into this week's episode. I hope
you enjoyed it. A really really funny episode of Seinfeld that like has like
I would say two or three moments here that I really like quit essential seinfold,
like the line stories and how unravels and things like that. Seinfeld always
as a good payoff for a fuck up like a unraveling. It's always hilarious
and it's in spades in this episode set. And I thought all the supporting
casts were great as well. I said Helen Slade was great as Becky,
and I thought Melinda McGraw was great as Angela as well. Robin was played
by an actress named Anne Talman, and Joseph Malone played Michael. They were
a believable angry couple, don't you reckon? Yes, I think so.
You can buy the underlying simmering hostility. Yeah. I wouldn't say she was
necessarily angry, she was just more living in a hostile environment. But yeah,
a really fun episode of Sinfeld. The next one we're going to be
