You realize, of course you're naked, naked dressed. I don't see any
difference. You ought to sit here. There's a good rust about something against
the naked body. I got something against yours. I about a couple of
deep knee bets, maybe some squat thrust Who's got time for squat thrusts?
All right? How about skipping breakfasts. I'm guessing you're not a half grape
fruit and black coffee act. I like a breakfast, I understand. I
like a good breakfast as long as you don't wind up trapped in a room
in bimboat brawls and pigtails being counseled by Dick Gregory. I'm not ashamed of
my body exactly. That's your problem. You should have been. Welcome to
Talking Soft, the podcast where we discuss everything we know about the show about
nothing. This week, we are here to review a classical episode of Scien
filed from season three. It is the Subway. I'm down, I'm guy.
How are you, sir? I'm feeling very good. I feel like
I took a nice twenty five minute holiday in New York City. It really
just felt like it just felt like you experienced New York question. This episode
doesn't. It's it's just really great. Not a whole lot happens, but
it does. And that's why I love about these episodes where it's it's similar
to the vibe of the Chinese restaurant, things like that in the parking garage,
where it feels like it's all happening in one moment. But I just
I just love the It gives you a real taste of New York, doesn't
it. It's a lot richer in atmosphere than it is in story. The
story, of course, stuff happens, but yeah, you're really just sort
of soaking it all up. Yeah, and the crazy thing, as wacky
as it all seems, you feel like you could see this happening on the
subway in New York if you if you went to the subway, one of
these things would likely happened. At the guy sitting next to you. I
just love that he wakes up, Okay, yeah, but yeah, I
just thought that's well saying not a great lot. A lot of dialogue in
this episode, just sort of like a bunch of moments where you're just sort
of watching stuff going down. But I don't think the dialogue was needed it
was just I felt so real. I don't know, as wacky as it
seemed, just felt real. I really, I really really enjoyed this.
Yeah, and look, there are certainly episodes of Seinfeld where the dialogue is
front and center. You know, you've got memorable exchanges and one liners and
all that kind of business. There's no I don't think there's that many in
this. Yeah, but you're right, it's a lot of physical comedy in
this one, not only from Michael Richards, who was kind of the reigning
heavyweight champion of Seinfeld physical acting. But you know, everyone gets gets a
bit to do, even Jerry. I think when he's falling asleep on that
guy in the subway, you know, it's not classic physical comedy acting,
but it's like even Jerry's having a goal of this. It's good. A
fun episode. Yeah, I think Jerry and Kramer's stories were my favorite.
I think A Lame was probably the most relatable. George had a funny,
a funny spin, but I thought the ending was a little bit much where
he was walking in wearing the blanket. I was like, this feels very
this feels very sick, commy, feels very friends. But overall, I
really enjoyed it. Would you think of the fat shaming? It was a
bit of it. I was like, I'm not sure whether Jerry could say
this on television two and twenty twenty two. Not really, No, I
mean it felt to me like I don't know how much acting is going into
this, Jerry. Yeah, it feels like you don't like fat people.
You seem very vehement against this gentleman shape. Now, admittedly, you'd get
a bit of a surprise if you were writing on the subway and looked up
and yeah, here's a heavy sets behem, not even a behemoth, just
a big guy sitting across from me with no closets. And on top of
that, Harry dude, I mean, it's a always a wonderful combo Big
and Harry. Take it from someone who knows guys. But you're right,
I mean certainly. Yeah, three decades or so down the line, you'd
be listening to Jerry sort of tearing strips off this game. Yeah it's not
cool, man. I mean, to our naked pal's credit, he sort
of takes it with you know, he's not really that affected Bison. No,
it is what it is. That's what I liked about the fact that
he was just like, no, you can say what you want my ain.
Give a shit, I'm happy. You're the one who's judging. You're
the one who's not happy. Clearly, I'm fine with who I am.
That's a very good point. And yeah, it's it's hard to imagine that
they didn't have that in mind when they were writing it. I mean,
yeah, Jerry coming off it's kind of like a jerk and this guy being
very quite quite at ease with it. It's funny. It's almost like the
second or there are two separate incidents involving bigger people in this episode. I
mean when Frame is trying to find a seat and he ends up sort of
squished next to that big guy who just has this very serene, like Buddha
like expression on their face when they're like, you know, they're probably used
to They're probably used to some dipshit trying to go this big taking up dings
like I'm here, I'm taking up space. Get used to it. The
funniest thing was there was the extress couldn't contain their laughter. Did you see
him on the background to start cracking up laughing. We did see one of
some smirks on some faces. Absolutely with Jerry and the fat guy, though,
what I liked about that was it was almost like a tale of never
judged book by its cover, because that first Jerry's just being absolutely pricked to
him, not fat shaming him, saying, you know, you should be
embarrassed you're naked on the subway blah blah blah. Then they become best mates.
Well, I mean it's funny that it's the fat shaming that we're sort
of noticing and that you know, comes to the forefront. I mean,
the thing about Jerry's saying looking at something, he's the naked body I got
sun against yours. You know, that's that's your problem. You should be
a shape or that's he's going for them. One of the things like why
is this guy taking off his clothes on a subway track. It's kind of
strange. It's a little strange, and again maybe that's the point, but
um, yeah, I think it's funny that, you know, Jerry's just
you know, going with the fat gags. One's been like, why's take
your clothes off? What's going on here? It's going on in your life?
So as naked man been in anything else? He's played by a man
called Ernie Sabella Lame ring a bell to you. Um. He's been on
a few sitcoms. He's one of these guys who's just fundy. He is
known for his role as Pumba in the liking franchise Good Worked. He's the
voice of Pumba, Get the fuck out, no way and hang on,
hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, voice of Pumba.
You can't be in four Let's have a look. Well, I'll be
fucked. He is. He is the voice of Pumba. There you go.
Yeah, that is crazy. That's crazy, right, It's a little
crazy. I was just like, who is this guy? This fact?
You know what's he known for being the fat guy on the Subway of the
voice of Pumba. I mean to a generate, my generation, that's a
big deal. He's a voice of fucking Pumba. He's also on Perfect Strangers
with cousin Belkie. Was he a k And also apparently he played Leon Carosi
in Saved by the Bell. Yeah, who's had a career. Yeah.
Known for his role in the Broadway Theater of Guys and Dolls, Curtains and
Man of La Mancha. Okay, so yeah, and a working New York
actor who you know, every once in a while it's like audition for this
Disney movie. You know, Yeah, my turn into something and it turns
in the Lion King. That's awesome. I'm happy for this dude now.
That makes me happy. But yeah, so yeah. And also Barbara Stock.
I thought she did a great job as the scam woman. Also very
good. Yeah, it's She's what I was thinking about as well. When
I was thinking about, you know, just actors who you know that are
never stars, but they sort of work consistently. I looked up Barbara Stock,
you know, after this episode. She's really good. And you know,
she was on Dighties TV. Yeah, she was on Dallas. She
was on Spencer for Hire, which I used to watch as a kid,
thinking, oh growing up, you know, Private Detective Adventures, Fantastic Fantasy
Island. She was on Remington Steel, the at on My Riding. Yeah,
a real just collection of all your eighties favorites, you know, just
popping up. And you know it's like Rick Dalton from Once upon a Time
in a Hole. It was like, yeah, well I got an FBI
and next week I'm on I'm Answer and Cell it's like, and you know
she I think she quit acting in the early two thousands and opened her own
interior design business. According to her friends at Wikipedia, who would not lie
to us, Barbara stock Interiors is still open as of twenty twenty. Hopefully
she made it through the pandemic. Yes, hopefully so. Yeah, well,
but she did a good job in this episode. I mean, of
course you would, you would get off the train. Yes, he certainly
would you off the train. Yeah. I cannot blame George for what he
did here. What I'd love about this Actually, let's get into my favorite
moment. Let's get to my favorite because I was going to get into it.
That is all right. So one of my favorite moments from this episode
was George's inability to not tell a bullshit life story. Like once he starts
going, he just keeps going, Like talking about his dad being in the
stock market. It's like you could just say, oh, dad was in
the stocks, but he just keeps going and going and adding and adding and
adding and adding and adding on. Like it's just the epitome of George.
Once he starts, once the ball starts wrong, he can't stop. It's
so great. I'm not an authority on Death of a Salesman the play there
they talk about a bit in this and you know Jerry referring to him as
Biff, which is, you know, a bit of a bit of a
rag. Also, I mentioned in our recent episode of Google Guy Pan on
The Simpsons there we go correct. But yeah, it's almost like George is
using the story of Biff and his father Willie Lohman, who was the salesman
and Death of a Salesman, and it's like, oh, yeah, just
got to him. Oh they crushed him metaphorically and all this kind of stuff,
and oh, I think you're borrowing from Death of a Salesman, you
know, to fill in your own sort of blanks here, George. It's
nice work on the part of this episode of Seinfeld. Yeah, it's just
very very great. I also really enjoyed, in particular just the acting physical
acting of Michael Richard Tween Kramer is watching the race, just the hitting the
paper from the table, like just fuck. That gets used all the time
with his Melbourne Cup day for people sports betting all always just take that clip
and show you know, every punch right now kind of thing. But I
just thought that moment there the array of emotions. He goes through watching this
race from like the epitome of happiness and sadness and then it's happiness again,
and it's just I just think it's so great. Have you ever taken a
punch on something A race, a football game? If you? Yeah,
I better on a few races back in the day, and the elation of
winning is something else. Oh yeah, but I mean gather responsibly natural.
I don't gamble anymore. I'm last my gamblet. I think it was the
two thousand and eleven Gelong Premiership game. I think it was the last actually
put money on a game. But I um, yeah, I just particularly
just loved that clip. I just the way he slapped that fucking paper on
the table. It was just like it just starts like he's just hitting it,
but then he Yeah, it sort of evolves into him actually being the
jockey. It's like what happens when you're like you're bowling or something. You
sort of like move your bodies if you're like moving the ball of playing pinball
or something whatever. Like we're playing a video, you should playing a racing
game. You turn the control or like you're steering it. Yeah, you'd
get captivated. I just really liked it. Would you enjoy Oh yeah,
we talked about it before, But the evolution of that relationship between Jerry and
the naked man on the subway, it starts off a bit not antagonistic,
well antagonistic on Jerry's part certainly, but yeah, by the end and it's
like, all right, get off, we're going to go to Coney Island
together, you know, get a hot dog and you ride the cyclone.
And I love that when he goes, you know, we're ride the cyclone
and get a hot dog. Nathan's I'm like, it just sounds like a
fun day out, doesn't it. It does, doesn't it? So I
very much enjoyed that, And I think my favorite part of the episode was
actually Elaine's desperation when she's yeah, first of all, the train has stalled
or it stopped or whatever, you know, she's getting. I think a
lot of people have been in that situation where you know, oh, you're
in a long queue, or you're in a tight space and just or you're
a traffic jam or something. It's like, why the man, why is
this happening? Yeah, when when it's traffic, it's like everyone else's faults.
I mean you're part of the problem. You're also in the traffic.
Yeah, but you can't help projecting like three kilometers down the roads like some
what are you doing? Yeah, some digger didn't take care of their car.
Don't let that person in? What are you doing? That's a lot
of that. Why are you letting the mad? Yeah? So it'd be
nice the time for nice fuck courtesy. Having said that, I mean,
are you are you someone who will let someone like emerge? We let it,
We let one person in and then not another if it's absolute chaos,
right, and if I haven't had to wait for too long, I'll always
let someone in because it just makes sense to keep the traffic flowing. Right.
Yeah, but it's only one person. You know, there's like maybe
four or five cars banged ub is like, I'm letting one of you win
one? Yeah, the person behind me, they can let one in.
And once that car starts making their way and you start cripping forward, is
they say, motherfucker behind that car. Don't you think you're getting at either?
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah, they get in and you're right on their
day, was it? Yeah? You're going nowhere? Buddy? Yeah?
So I think I think our lovely lady JLD really expressed that desperation. Well,
you know, just think about people in concentration camp, think about being
a hostage, you know, and just getting more and more and more and
more, just infuriating. I love that. I thought it was really funny.
It was very good. Could you spell that? Please? No?

question is which ticket is Cramer going to fight? I'm going to fight that
one. He says, no doors, no doors, and it's guy.
According to George on the stock pages, IBM is what, oh, a
lot? I don't know, very vague. IBM is up a quarter?
A quarter? Okay, I know nothing about stocks. I know absolutely nothing,
nor do I I'm starting to think I should learn a little. Apparently.
What you do is you just throw a couple of bucks at an index

where? It's the Hotel Edison? Correct? Hotel Edison? All right,
I have one last question for you hit me. George's suit cost how much?

Spotify, or wherever you find your podcasts. The original air date of The
Subway was January eighth, nineteen ninety two, so this was the first episode
of sinfol to ever air in nineteen ninety two. It was written by Larry
Charles and directed by Tom charonans Is. The episode kicks off with some stand
up discussing bumper cars. When I was a kid that my favorite ride was
the bumper car ride. Remember that ride go around in a circle. There
was always one kid on the bumper cars that could not do it. You
remember this kid. As soon as the ride gets started, he'd be like
stuck in a pack of empty cars. Just excuse me, excuse me,
it won't go Come on, it's almost over. He always ends up with
the attendant hanging off that big pole helping him steer it. You know,
stop cryingside that other one, other really bad car, the helpless father and
son team. There's another car just not going anywhere. They're never organized.
Who's on the wheel? Who was pressing out of the gas? Just oh
so during the way, I guess the tieing here is the fact that go
to Coney Island. But I did like the stand up here because it's so
true, like it's actually on point. There's always that one kid that doesn't
know how to do it, and the guy it's like helping me, and
the way like does the he's hanging on to the side and steering the wheel.
The other hand, it happens every time. I was that white kid
doesn't figure it out, and then there's the helpless father and his son.
They're never organized. I don't know who's putting the pedal down. I just
thought this was great. When do you think you grow out of bumpers and
dodging cars when you're old enough to go on the Ali Barber? I think
you usually run twelve or thirteen, aren't you when you're I would say probably
like eight to ten. I feel like, oh, what a late bloomer
I was. I don't know. It just feels like, well, it
gets to a point now where your parents are like, all right, we
have this much money to spend on rides, and you go, I do
like the Dodgings, but I want to have money for like the Zipper,
you know. Yeah, he started to feel a bit more brave, and
you're like, I think I'm going to go on the mad Man. I'm
gonna take on the chartchar But because the Long Show was unrecently and we didn't
go because we're unwell on the weather was ship anyway, but we didn't take
Elliott next year. But look at these rides and I'm like, I never
okay, with my son going on these rides, they'll put up like yesterday
by these fucking hillbillies, Like are they safe? I think you can trust
a Carney, can you someone like? Didn't a child like die like just
a couple of years ago at the Adelaide show or something? Oh maybe?
I mean there was a story recently about the woman who my phone fell under
the fault? That was her fault? Do you not say the roller coaster
thing coming? Wasn't there a right? Yeah? Operating? She's like,
I'm just going to climb this fancy and go into the ride whilst operating.
Is that right? Get my phone? New? No, don't do that.
Phone's long gone. Apparently she got all messed up. I'm sorry,
that's probably ok. Yeah, it's probably my cool frist to piece. No,
but that's that's not the Carni's faults. As I was putting down Carney's
yes, and I'm pro Carney. This is a I've got a career waiting
for me as a Carney. If someone said to you gap year as a
Carney, would you do it? Absolutely? I would? If it paid,
all right, you do it, even if it didn't play that well.
Could be fantastic. You're traveling around regional Australia. Yeah, you're probably
doing hard work, but you know you crack a v B at the end
of the night. Yeah, good stuff, but good stuff. But the
thing is, the contract says right eighty Grahm for the year plus ten birdy
Beetles show backs. Right, You've got to get a Birdie Beetles show back
as part of your contract. Birdie Beetles are a wonderful, wonderful, ally
wonderful piece of chocolate confectionery. They still make it. Yeah it is Cabris,
is it? Is it Cadbury? Well, I know they got bought
out, didn't They makers a Birdie Beetle. If you're listening to this episode
of Talking I'm filmed on the four Finger discand Network. Look, we're open
to you know, receiving some boody beetles, eating them live on the on
the pod. Yeah, and letting everyone know how good they are. Here
we go. So it's a small chocolate bar manufactured by nest Late, not
Cabrine Nestlate. It consists of chocolate coated chocolate coated bar containing small pieces of
honeycomb that has shaped like a beetle. I hadn't okay, I thought they
met the little bits of shat like beetles. I go say, I had
no idea. Now they actually chocolate shp like a beetle. It was originally
created as a way to use up the honeycomb that was left over from the
production to violet crumble bars. There's a fun fact. That is a fun
fact. Originally manufactured in Australia. Today there I'm manufactured in a factory in
New Zealand. For many years, bedy beats were generally only availble to the
public in showbags and sold at the Australian shows. That's that's how I remember
it being. You could only get them in showbags at the show or at
KFC kids meals. Yeah, it's why you went to the shows. Really
where it really was for the bety beetles showbag. I wonder if you can
buy them just by themselves now I'm assuming you could. I imagine if you
got on the internet you could find someone who could send you some birdie beatles.
Yeah, I look up with a birdie want a birdie? I would
look I want to be hooked up with a birdie beatle. Let's say you're
listening, give us some Birdie beatles Nestle, come on, do right to
make it happen, Make it happen. Right, Enough talking about the shows,
let's get into the episode. So hte monks, their gangs all there
and they're discussing how to get to Coney Island on the subway. Kramer's explanation
is far too difficult. I was going to start writing some of this ship
down because I figured, oh damn, it's going to ask a question about
something I'm not that cruel, Like, no, that's too much information,
and I've got to I'm gonna have to keep hitting the go back tinseck and
go back tinseck and yeah. Elaine's like, isn't the d just go straight
to Coney Island? Well, yeah, let's take that one. But then
George says he's got a job. Interviews the second Interviews at nine forty five,
and Jerry tells him to not whistle in the elevator. Well, don't
whistle in the elevators. The actual quote comparing him to Biff from Death of
a Salesman, What Times the Lesbian Wedding wedding they worked to brighton Groom on
that why do they flip a coin? Yeah? Clip a coin? What
was that? Not politically correct? It's a legitimate question. Full of super
training. I always get the feeling when lesbians are looking at me, they're
thinking, that's why I'm not ahead of resection. Jerry, come on,
let's go pick up the checks so we can go. Oh, I'm paying
for breakfast? Yeah yeah, yeah? Why do I always pay? What
am I made of money? You're a bunch of deadbeats. I'm kind of
siding with Jerry here. This is assuming that Jerry's gonna pay for their meals.
I'm like, oh, I know what's set up for the gag at
the end, but still it's just walking out and expecting one other dude to
pay for everything, and it's a bit cheap. Deadbeats. So we're now
on the subway and Cramer's got a bunch of ticket offenses. I mean,
of course Kramen does. You've always an't that one mate that's just always getting
tickets for something, never pays them, always got an excuse why he's got
them, always trying to get out of them. George and the violinist walks
by that the blind guy, George always the excuse, I can't carry a
change. It just it falls out of my pocket. And the Lane ends
up giving him money. He's not blind, Why are you giving him money?
And the guy sort of turns and looks at George, and then Jerry
asked, you know, so, who's going to come to Coney Island with
me? And I like a little bit of a sort of a throwback here
to the car, like corn back here to the stolen car. Yeah,
you got her? What happened? He got simon eyes on the front,
wheels got aligned. Yeah, he said, yeah, let's go John George
ride the cyclone hot dog at Nathan's. But George Carson's coine, what are
you doing to me? Man, it's my second job. I'm going to
get this place. I'm going to get this job. It was not the
last episode that he's like every It's like every episode either someone's got a new
job or a new girlfriend. Yeah, it's it's like it's like the opposite
of the Simpsons. You can't maintain the status quo. E. Lane is
going to be the best man at the wedding, so she can't miss that,
and Kramer's got to go to court to base tickets, so no one
can go with Jerry, So Joe says, I can't go on rides alone.
He's all sad about it. They all get off the subway and they
all go their separate ways. I love I love the lands. Just you
know, see it? No one, no one's saying it, by the
way, Yeah no, no, everyone just walks off. Yet then we
get Jerry. He's just sitting on the subway, just awkwardly staring at naked
man who isn't quite naked just yet. No, so something I'm very curious
about, just that turning point or that that decision that he means something.
Time to get nude. Yeah, try to get nude. George then sits
near the near a very pretty woman. He's sort of the making eyes and
he Kramer tries to push his way into a seat and ends up squeezing next
to a fat guy. And as we said, the extras just couldn't contain
their laughter. It's just I know something, Michael Richards just it just goes
to extra mile, doesn't he? Oh God, Yeah, really sort of
throws himself into any physical opportunity that comes his way. Then we get back
to Jerry and he's falling the guy a sleip on the guy's shoulder, and
he moves and knocks his head. There was no dialogue for like two minutes
in this episode. It was just them just sort of like engaging their surroundings.
Yeah, so Jerry's still falling asleep on this guy's shoulder. The woman
then rubbed her leg up against near. George and I sort of like chuckled
at each other. So there's a sparks are starting to fly there. But
she's just leading him along. He doesn't realize yet. He used to,
I mean, let's put ourselves in George's situation. If this happened when we
were single, ready to mingle, we wouldn't immediately think she's hustling. Us
would be Oh no, no, I mean I think enough people have a
high enough opinion of themselves and they're a lure to someone else. Of course,
I'm going to be picked up on the train. Why not? Why
wouldn't I It's life in the big city. Are you looking for a job?
Why, well, you're reading with classifids. Oh no, no,
no, no, I was just looking for the snack page here. It
is looking for the quotes. Gotta check the quotes. Love a good quote.
Ibm up a quarter. You didn't look like someone who needed a job.
Me. No, I don't be doing very well, very well.
Yeah, so you're in the market. Oh yeah, I'm in the market.
Winch Market, Winch Market, the big the big market, the big
boy book market, Bam market. Do you name the market. I'm bad
said you worked for one of the big brokerage houses. They wish. I
hate the big brokerage houses. Hit him with a passion. I think broke
rich houses killed my father. Well, they hurt him bad, really hurt
his feelings. It's a long story. I don't like to talk about it,
but I swore there and then that I would never work for a big
broke mch house. You see, all they care about is money. I'm
about more than money. I am about people. So I've always gone my
own way and I've never looked back. Let me get a lane. And
she starts chatting to this woman who's been riding the subway since the forties.
In those days, man would get up a seat for a woman. But
now that we're liberated, we've got to stand up. And then Elaine says
she's going to a lesbian wedding, and all of a sudden, it's just
like, ah, now, I know that seems like a very oh God,
would anyone be doing that these days? They're probably they Actually, no,
they definitely are people like that out there. Who we go, what
a woman's bearing? A woman what? I'm not sure so much now.
Definitely in nineteen ninety two, Oh yeah, but I'm sure there are still
people like that out there. They did quite understand it as normal or just
disapproved. Yeah, I don't talk to us soul for thirty five years and
now get the best man out of less been wedding of it then, Elaine,
I hate man, but I'm not lesbian. It's still still in that
period where being considered gay was like a negative yeah, or at least unusual
enough to be like, oh okay, okay, well yeah, I think
you've gone gone past the disapproval stage to more like, oh okay, homosexual.
So rare to see one in the wild exactly right at a time.
We just reviewed an episode of Friends on our the One about Friends podcast,
and there's a gay guy on there, and he refers to himself as speaking
for our people, like as if it was like a different form of life.
Yeah, a different breed of human, but also also that's that wonderful
Rye Gay sense of humor where it's like, yes, we're that different that
I have to get that I'm speaking a foreign language. Cramer then fights over
the newspaper. I love here that obviously there's no way they could have planned
the rip of the newspaper like that just happened. But then for Michael Richards
to then have the genies to pretend to read that little piece of ripped paper
that he ripped off the paper I thought was just great because it's just like
it rips as he's pulling it away, and he immediately goes, I'm gonna
start reading this like there's no in my OPI I felt there's no way I
could have planned that. It just seems so organic and real, which I
thought was great. Jerry is still asleep. The guy's rolling his eyes,
and naked man's rolling his eyes at him. I'm really looking forward to this.
I love weddings. Maybe I'll meet somebody. Maybe not. Oh man,
we're starting. This is where the train stops of George and the woman.
He's like, where are you going? Where I get off? And
if George's like, well, what do you mean George is just not having
it at all, as he's like, all right, when we gonna do
second, second job interview or take a chance of this lady. I mean,
you're gonna be taking a chance of a lady, right, any man
will do that in George's situation, I have written down here George, don't
do it. Don't do it, Joe take back to when. Yeah,
I mean, obviously George's a bit older. He remember, he's supposed to
be in his early thirties. I think at this point he's desperates, he's
lonely. This woman's going to eventually find it that he's not working, but
he might as well, Yeah, ride this train as best he can.
Yeah, yeah, No, it doesn't make sense, but it makes sense
if you know what I mean. Did you think there was a little hidden
sexual innu window there which she goes, this is where I get off?
Oh yeah, very much. George gets stuck in the doors, he's trying
to get off. Then we get Cramer over here in the inside. Tips
on the horses, Yes, there's a four horse. In the first phrase,
I don't know he's going to win my ups go mauts. The guys
are on the horse are as regular customs. Every horse has ever given me
a one. Yeah, you see him been sandbag. I'm looking for a
good spot and he's been getting in late because there using a bud boy,
and I'm gonna workouts have been unpublished now to run with him. He's gonna
break his meat. He's gonna go for a great place. Maybe thirty to
one. I'm telling you it's a luck but a rain last night exactly.
This most loves the slip. His father was a mode, his mother was
a money his mother, Come on office, I want to call my book.
Don't tell on him. But Jerry wakes up and he sees the naked
guy on a train, just as you're saying the response when he first sees
the naked guy, okay, okay. Then we get naked dressed, I
let's see a difference, and Joey just completely fat chasing. See that's your
problem, you should be. It just felt very much like Jerry sife.
I was speaking from the heart, didn't it. It didn't feel like there
was much acting involved. It didn't at all. No. I feel like
Jerry would have had this conversation with somebody at some point in his life.
Then we get a lane, trying to panic because the train has stopped.
Why couldn't I take a cab for six dollars? My whole life could have
changed. What is that on my leg? I'll never get out of here?
What if I'm here for the rest of my life? Maybe I'll get
out in five seconds? One, two, five? Banana? No,
I'm still here. I'm still here. When will they start moving? It's
moving, It's I'm just like this inner traffic jam. I just freak out.
Why are you going? What is happening here? What the fuck?
What would go? Go? Fucking go? Like you know, you hate
it when like, yeah, your two or three cars deep at a red
light, it goes green and like two seconds goes by and they haven't started
going yet. You freaked the fuck out, particularly with like an arrow or
something. It's like now time is limited here. Yeah, how long do
you give yourself or the Carrfoni before you haunt the horn after the light has
changed, probably between probably between six and eight seconds, six and eight,
I give him three, like one Mississippi, two, Mississippi, three,
Mississippi Have you ever started going off the three Mississippi? Fucking you're getting the
horn, especially at an arrow, as you were saying. But then George
and this lovely woman they arrive at the hotel. Room at the hotel.
Is the hotel? Edison? Is that right? Edison correct? As she
tells him to make himself feel comfortable, but it doesn't know what does that
mean? Should I take my clothes off? Okay, I can take my
shoes off, sit on the bed. I appear comfortable. You know,
I look comfortable. It's a very valid thing, though, I mean,
can imagine you know you're in that kind of situation. It's like, we
haven't confirmed it's going to be sex yet. I think this. I think
this is going this way. But deal. I mean if she came out
and was like, oh, I thought you would have pulled me a drink,
but here you are with your parts pieces out, Yeah, that could
be traumatizing. So the struggle is real for Georgo I understand completely. I
did like him. You know, when she rocks out and she's not undressed,
but undressed, like, I gotta tell you, I'm pretty comfortable.
I think Kramer is in line for the for the horse, for the horse
bedding. I love. He's now regurgitating the same story to the guy behind
him by the way that that actor that he's talking to. It was a
guy named Mark Boone Junior. Sons of Anarchy fans will know him as one
of the one of the members of the Motorcycle Club. I was very fortunate
enough to share a cigarette with mister Mark Boone Junior back in the day,
back about ten years or so ago, when there was a bit of a
Sons of Anarchy tour of Australia and I was m seeing it. Is that
really him? Yeah? But Bobby, wasn't it? I think so?
Yeah, he looks at what different in Sons of Anarchy has grown his hair
out of it. He's got a big beard, sort of a yeah,
bit of a gruff looking gentleman, and old Booney was a bit that way
off off camera. But a good guy, he said, the kind of
guy that would be loyal to you. Just don't fun with him. Yeah,
but I had no idea. That's awesome. But it doesn't mention that
on the wiki page or anything like that. You just you just tell by
looking at him. Yeah, yeah, cool. I mean, hey,
did I mention I've shared a cigarette with him? I kn't know what he
looks like. That's so sharing a cigarette with somebody. Does that just seem
awkward to you now after the whole pandemic? No? Not really? You
do it again now, Oh, I mean we weren't sharing the same cigarette.
Oh I thought you meant like he was having like can I have a
puff? I thought you meant like you shared a cigarette? Oh God,
I wouldn't do that with him, That's what I thought you. I'm like,
Okay, cool, No, we know, we a nice moment having
a cigarette. Yeah, having cool each having a cigarette. That's awesome.
But yeah, So basically as I was saying, yeah, regret schating the
same story that he heard on the on the subway, have you heard that
moment in your life where you've ever heard something You've you've heard of a story
from somebody and you claim that story as your own as you tell somebody else.
Uh No, because I know the value of a story to someone like
that. No, that's that's like money in their pocket. You can't take
that. I mean, I'd rather take money from their pocket than take someone
story. I just tell the same stories over and over and over and over
again. Sue. But he's like, I heard this guy telling the story
on the on the train. The other day. God, it was funny
and this guy seemed like this, and then this happened, and so yeah,
I would always attribute. I wouldn't. I could not say something really
funny happened to me the other day when it actually happened to this guy,
I couldn't do it. Jerry is now arguing with naked guy over baseball.
I love that, as all ends up with. I love their chances.
Well, it's great. I mean it's great that they've yeah found this common
ground and having a wonderful conversation and everyone sort of backed away pant or yeah,
you know, the people are still backed up down the other end.
It's like, I don't want to be near this naked guy. But it's
just it's funny. Every sports fan at the start of the year, it's
always just like, you know, this could be our year. I like
our chances. Jerry says, no, I'll sit naked at the World Series
with you if we win. The Pennant hold you that Eline is still overreacting
over something touching your leg, like everything is just like the slightest thing.
Now it's just like the worst thing in the world. She's that breaking point.
Oh god, Yeah, I mean, have you spend much time on
crowded subways or tubes or anything like that. Not not so much chubes,
but crowded just crowded trains in general, like on the way to the footy
or something, and it's like there's no seats left. You got to stand
up. It's like, oh God. And then all of a sudden it
slows down and you're like, oh, why are we slowing down? We're
not near a station. What is happening? What is going on? The
train driver doesn't give you any update, and what's happening? It's like,
oh, my fucking goat. It's hot, there's no way conditioning. The
guy over there's not wearing pants. What's happening here? What that guy do?
A love his clothes? Oh god? But then it moves again.
She's all happy and then it stops again. George Meanwhile, we've got to
George and he gets handcuffed to the bed and he thinks he's in for some
kinky, some kinky loving. But no, it turns out that she starts
getting dressed and she starts leaving. I do feel sorry for George here.
Can you imagine being in this moment? But what do you do? The
first thing you do is say no handcuffs. It's like, I'd like to
just use the lot. I like to use my hands. Yeah, exactly.
I just don't think handcuffs with someone that you've just met is a first
date. No, not on a first date, no, never, No,
but on a second date. Yeah, there's a pleasure doing business with
you, George. But I'm afraid I'm gonnact to keep going colling but we
haven't really you know, eight dollars, eight dollars, what are you doing?
You're robbing me. I wasted my whole morning any for eight dollars.
For a second, what are you doing? Taking your clothes? More ginsburg
by George? Just leave me here, I see you again. There will
we get Kramer winning at the race. I just thought it was so perfect,
it was so awesome. Everything just works out for Kramer. But I
forgot that he won this. So when it comes back at the end of
winds like, it's just it's so awesome. But then the guy that he
sees how intimidating was that guy? He was very intimidating, And yeah,
never flash your money, never flash your winnings, Greg. No, No,
especially to the guy who hasn't won, so the guy that follows him
onto the subway train. Um, and it's just it's very it's almost like
Jason Vorhees esque. Michael Myers asked, oh, yeah, it's like the
terminating Yeah. The naked guy then joins Jerry to Coney Island and having a
great time, and the violinist ends up saving Cramer because he's anun a cover
cop. He is an undercover cop indeed, So yeah, Cramers about to
get sucked over. The guy was gonna pitch his money, but no,
it turns out being generous pays off. I suppose it was, um,
it was a lane that paid the money. But yeah, it's undercover cop.
I wonder how many undercover cops actually disguise themselves as things like this probably
probably be very common. You always see those stories about no usually in fictional
stories. Oh that female cop working undercover as a hook and I'm like,
really, that gig sucks exactly. Jerry had so much fun with the naked
guy. He's like, he's um, he's telling everyone about it. That
there spent so much time at the Candy Island that the garage was closed didn't
bother him. It had so much fun with the naked guy. Elaine's not
interested because she missed the wedding. She's says she was the best man.
She missed it, so to cheer up, he was in the monkey that
he won from Coney Island. Don't worry, you'll catch the briss. George
enters wearing the blankets, nash Na, but you're like a hurry Krishna,
fish down your throat, I've got here. Punk kid looks like forty year
old man wearing like kid clothes. Like it was the strange It was the
strangest little interaction there. Yeah, he meant to be some kind of street
kid or something, because yeah, you're too old to be mouthing off like
that. That whole ending with the George shot just felt a bit weird.
It just got a bit much just walking with the blow. He walked all
the way from the hotel in a blanket like it just seemed silly. Joe.
Then us did you whistle on the elevator And he's got a spare key
to his apartment and he explains that he needs a speak Kecually she took his
clothes and took his wallet, Kraby and then says don't worry. I'll cover
the food, throws the money on the table because he won from the from
the horse race, and that is the end. And to be some stand
up discussing the subway to to Cody Island. Yes, overall a really really
not overly eventful but still really entertaining episode of Signe felt extremely entertaining, extremely
atmospheric. Yeah, I mean that's subway. Look. I mean, of
course it wasn't an actual train, but it looked really crummy, the way
that a New York subway train will look. I've only been on one a
few times in my life, but it's like, and this was even after
they had fixed them up in the two thousands, because you look at pictures
of subway trains in the eighties and the nineties' is like, oh my god,
they're in such a state, such a state of disrepair, and yeah,
they're all graffiti to shit. Yeah. So yeah, like I said,
it felt like a little half hour holiday in NYC. Courtesy of Sinfeld.
