The Parking Space (S03E21)

Talking signfoud has bought to you. But the four finger this can't network. Look at this crazy. What are you doing? Hey, hey, you're stealing my space? George. Wait, you don't know who this guy Isn't people kill for a parking space in this city? No? No, no, he's not getting away with George. What are you doing? I think I'm parking my car. You can't do that. You can't just sneak in from the backlank that. I'm not sneaking. I didn't even know you were

parking. You were just sitting there three spaces up. What if you didn't think I was parking? Why did you put it in head first? Well, that's the way I park anyway. You didn't start backing until I pulled it. I was in the middle of a conversation. Hey buddy, what can I tell you? The point is I was hit first. I was closer to this space than you were. But I'm backing in. You can't

put it in head first. I can't if I a Welcome to Talking Sci Fi, the podcast where we discuss everything we know about the show about Nothing. This week, we are here to review the episode for Partner Space. I am Dando. I am guy and Oh my gosh, can I relate to this episode in multiple ways, not just when it comes to car parks, but when it comes to just about anything. Dando, would you like to hear an anecdote? Oh, I would love to hear your anecdote,

mister Davis. As many of my anecdotes do. This one starts with the lovely Luise. They all begin an end with the lovely Luise. But listeners to the show, maybe we're maybe I haven't disclosed she was studying to become a counselor therapist and as actually qualified to do that. Now she's rented a room in Geelong. So if you've got no mental discontents or emotional discontent of anyway, go see Luise. She'll sort you right out. Can you book

me in for four pm today? Please? This is our therapy is Yeah, how we binge and purge so to speak. But before the actual business of getting clients through the door, to decorate the room, got to make it a safe space, so to speak. You know, we've got a couple of very nice comfortable chairs off Geelong market Place on Facebook. Lovely sort

of orange thin cord. They're really nice and lou had her eye on this other chair out of day funer store in North Geelong, being me being the supportive boyfriend, and I'm like, well, let's go check it out. And you know I've got good taste. Maybe I can you offer a bit of advice on it. So we go out, we look at the chair. I'm like, the chair's not bad. We get these kind of cushions and a compidence this way bladd eyre I sound like, I like to think

I know what I'm talking about. Everyone's looking at me like what kind of shoot is he talking? But while we're looking at this chair and it's floor stock, the one, the only one left, okay, you know, we're taking seats on it, like oh it's comfortable, Yeah, this will work. Oh, this cushion works with it. One of the women who works there comes over, picks up the chair, says, I just sold it to these people. No you didn't, you didn't, like it's what

the fuck? So what happened? So no, no, you can't do that. You actually can't. No, you're sitting on it, actually sitting on on that stage. But you know, we were it was clear that we were circling and trying to make up our mind about it. And then there's other couple who had clearly seen us two very attractive, stylish people looking at this chair. Gum, I want a bit of that guy and low action, so to speak, swept into that chair, I would be robable.

So what happened? Did you love? Luise would have taken this surely, I think, because she was in two minds about it. Okay, we viewed this as kind of like the universe sending us a message because she so she didn't really like it you did. So what she did was she told this other couple, Hey, my partner wants this. I don't really want it. I feel I don't want to tell him that it's bad, though, So how about you buy it? I'll give you the money to

buy it. In the end, in the well, the chairs, the chairs been taken by the by these people, we also saw that they were buying some other thing that looked like a real piece of shit, Like, well, clearly these people have got terrible taste, so maybe this chair is not that good after it? Yeah, well you have to send me a photo of this. Did you have a photo of this chair? I'll have to see it at some point, I think I did take one or two

pictures. They can. I'll find it on there. I'll find it on the I'll let you know once he has gone up, and you can post it up in the in the Patreon group so we can know what I'm talking about it. But you did get chairs in the end, though, We've got a better idea of the chair that we wanted. The same style but a different color. Is it like like a long one of those long couch chairs or is that just a no, no, no, it's a it's a comfortable sort of arm chair deal chair. Okay, cool? But you

know, I mean thinking about the parking space. Think about this episode of Seinfeld, and you know, when two people want the same thing and you know, both people think they've got you know, DIBs on it or whatever, it can lead to frustration, can lead to tension. And I tend to get very possessive about parking spaces, much like much like George does in this episode. I had a similar thing. I've got another anecdote when it

comes to parking. But recently, Nicol she never spends money on herself, right, She always a She just says she doesn't have the confidence to go try and close. She doesn't. She has no confidence when it comes to that thing. But she's a terrible shopper when it comes to buying things for herself because she just doesn't. She can't justify spending any money on herself. So she goes through all these things and she buys. She'd try and ten dresses and buy one. I'm like, you liked four of them, I

only need one. I'm like, you liked four, You've got the money for four by four anyway. So in Maya here in Geelong and Nicola's size, she got through these dresses on the clearance right and only have a certain amount of sizes on the clearance thing, and Nicholas sort of going through looking for a size, and then this woman sort of swoops in and just sort of grabs one off and that was the one size that fit Nikol on this

dress that she We've been shopping for like an hour. She finally found something she liked. This woman just sort of took it off. Right. I'm thinking, in my head, this is not going to fit you. And she's looking at it, and she's looking in the mirror, and I'm thinking, I'm thinking, my head, money have to fucking settle some pitches here.

But thankfully she came to her and Dan, they're gonna have to joke someone, and I sort of said, I said, not loud, but I sort of went as if that dress is going to fit her because she was bigger, and she choked at me. She gave me a dirty look and she threw the dress down the cash and walked off. And I was like, hey, at least my wife got the dress that she wanted now, but no, you got to play dirty. This is the thing. I'm like, you might be buying that dress to maybe one day fit into

it, but you ain't fucking getting that. You ain't fitting into that dress today. Honey, my wife's been shopping for an hour and she wanted that dress and she didn't have anything. She didn't want to tell this woman that she wanted that dress. I'm getting you that dress because I want to go home. But when it comes to but when it comes to parking spaces, right, I may have told this on another podcast, but one time at

the Gelong Waterfront, right, it's one lane each way. Oh my god, parking at the Gelong Waterfront, yeah, one lane each way angle parking, right, and it's as guys just said it's very busy. Not New York level busy, but it's it's hard to get a park on the actual waterfront and the angle parking. Right. So we've got two kids and they want to play on the grass area, you know, the grassy area near

the waterfront there. So I'm thinking, all right, the closer we can get to there, the better because I don't have to walk too far of the kids because they always get too tired, blah blah blah, and they don't want to get into pram and all this other shit. Right, So we're driving down this park is just available, and I was like, holy shit, this is awesome. It's meant to be. I go to pull

in. This woman starts walking out of the park, up out of the park and puts her hand up and I went, what are you doing? She's putting she's she's going on this waving her Hand's gone no no, no, no, no no no, it's my park, my park, no no, no, no no. And I'm trying and I'm in the left lane, right, So I'm in the left lane turning left into an angle park. She's standing in the car park. There's no cars in front of me right, So I'm holding up traffic, going move, fucking move,

this isn't you've got no car move. She points to the other side of the road, two cars deep. Her husband is down on the other side of the road in traffic. So there's a red light on the other on the other way right, So he's idol. He's he's stationary in traffic on the opposite side of the road, facing the other direction, waiting for the

green lights. He can move forward in traffic. Enter and he's got he's got his wife to get out of the car and stand in the fucking car park on the other side of the road, blocking anyone from getting in. And I'm going move and I'll start moving the car forward, and she sort of she's not moving. And I said to Nicola, am I gonna have to hit her legs? Nicolas going, Brandon, just just go find I said Nicola, No, she cannot fucking do this. So I start turning

into the park. He starts honking, he's on waving, he's out out the window. I moved a little bit more forward. She isn't moving. She is not going anywhere further. And she had that look at the face while she was about to bang on my car. So I thought the kids in the car, I left. But I'll tell you what, if my kids were not in that car, she was getting run down, absolutely, and you cannot be justified. No, you cannot do that. He was

down in traffic, like two cards deep. Further down in traffic. Stationary sent his wife to walk across the street to stand at a car park. Mate. No, no, there's an exclusion zone, you might say, when it comes to that guy. He wasn't even on the side of the road. Yeah. Look if he was on the other side of the road but right next to you, yeah, had his indicators on still. And also if he's also if he's significant other, they hadn't been so much of

a you know what I mean, she's Muslim's right there. We're just trying to get this part. You'd probably go, oh, look, yeah, it's the Gelong Waterfront. It's a nightmare at the best of time. Okay, I'll do the right thing this time. But this combination of elements and her just go no, no, no, no not. I was so angry, justifiably so. I mean, it's but it's amazing how worked up we get over car park and that's and that's what I was going to say. And at the end of the day, it was only because I had

to. It was over a car park, and I'm thinking, you look back down, I think, why are you so angry? But it was more like the principle of the thing. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you just you cannot do that. And I was so disappointed at the time. But at the end of the day, a part like a hundred minutes down the road, it was fine, why do we let the parking spaces get to us? But it's like a sense of pride, It's a it's a sense of ownership. It's like, this is my park. You will not take it.

I found it first, you cannot have it. It also feels like they're at such a premium. Yeah, especially now in john because Geelong used to be what they call sleepy hollow where we live here in Geelong and now it's just gone kablamo and it just seems like the population is triple. That's what it feels like. Anywhere you go to the city. What used to take

you two minutes to get through it takes you like twenty now. Indeed, everybody's coming to getown, and not just because it's the home of Dandlin guy. No, not at all. No, but I think you know, a situation like this and the emotions of the delicits clearly very heated ones, certainly in our case and I imagine for many other people as well. It speaks to the genius of Seinfeld that they're able to recognize that, pluck it out and spin it into gold, as they have with this episode the parking

spot for the parking space. I've just got here a great way to take something that happens every day, not just in New York, because sometimes you can get very New york Ish. The things that happened in Seinfeld, this is universal, as you were saying, and to be able to drag it out for twenty two minutes and keep it so entertaining when nothing was really happening. It was just, you know, two guys fighting over a parking space

for essentially the entire time. And Stucky said that the beauty of Seinfeld is the genius is the genius of the writing. And they recognized as well that this is not just an issue that only triggers certain people. Everyone will have an opinion on this you see it when when George and Mike moffatter, you know, just refusing to give give an inch either way, and this crowd of people on the on the sidework, on the sidewalk, on the footpath. There just no, you've got to do with this. No, no,

there's rules and regulations kind of thing. We live in a society. So yeah, I was very happy with the way they did that and very happy with this episode overall. And they never do Settler because even the cops are debating at the end of the episode, there's never a clear indication. But Larry David said in the inside Look documentary on the DVD that, you

know he agrees with George. You know, you can't. You can't pull in front first into a park, especially someone's already there about to reverse. But what I love about to this episode is the fact that things like stars

are sent to a line for Seinfeld. So this was filmed outside right, not like an actual outdoor, and actually had an audience there of about one hundred, one hundred and fifty people coming in going throughout the day, right, because it apparently took four to five hours to film this scene with the parking space, right, But the way that it gets darker and darker. That's because it took so long to film that it became nighttime. But that

really emphasized how long they'd been Therefore, that wasn't planned. That just happened because it took so long to film. Oh, now, serendipitous. That's good. That's good stuff love when something like that happens. Yes, but did you know this was actually written or co written by one Greg Daniels. I did notice that. That's actually my first note in my notes, Greg Daniels. A little show called King of the Hill that a couple of guys

from JEELNG just happened to be talking about on podcasts. Yeah, Speaking of the Hill. If you haven't checked it out yet, make sure you do so, need to subscribe button. Would appreciate the support there. But he also need worked on the Simpsons four figure discount would do that. What didn't you work on, Greg Daniels? He just seemed to be all of animation in the nineties, didn't he He did. He's got his fingers in many many parts. Yes, and the men knows what he's talking about. Apparently,

this whole story was based on something that happened with his father. So yeah, So I imagine everyone's got a parking story. You just had one. Yeah, everyone would have a at least a traffic related story, wouldn't they. So I guess this is the point where we have to come clean and disclose. When it comes to parallel parking, are you reversing in or you're going in head first? If you're able to go in it forward, I do. If I'm able to right, it just makes it easier.

But you should go in reverse. I mean, if there was there wasn't that much. I don't think there's enough room to really go in forward there, like the amount of space there, Like that's a reverse in. Like I think you should always be reversing in parallel parking personally. But if I but me, I break the rules. If I'm able to just go forward in because I can't parallel park, well that's the thing. If there's a big enough spot, you know, and you can drive in head first,

then yeah, by all means do so. But it's often the case that you'll you'll go in and you'll be on like a weird angling You're gonna have to reverse out again, and you're doing a lot of wheel spinning in situation like that, you know, eight times out of ten. So I might just be saying this because look, I don't boast about a lot of stuff. I don't have a lot of stuff to boast about, Dando, but I can parallel park like a fucking wizard. Said. Yeah, I immediately

thought of you when George was like bragging about his parallel parking. This is a totally fucking guy on his first date of Louise. It's like, check, there's that baby. You're about to see some magic. You're about to see as good as guy gets. Yeah. Yeah, but you feel like this episode felt like one of those real time episodes, kind of like the Chinese restaurant things like that, even though it wasn't, it just it felt

that way. I thought it had that kind of immediacy and that kind of sort of tension that refused to, you know, sort of let up. Really, I mean not not like white knuckle tension, more like you're getting more and more frustrated and angry by the situation. It's just slowly building all the time. Because the food line of the boxing match, true, yeah, that adds that adds a good element to it. I'm going to say,

yeah, it did it felt real time? As you said, though, I mean even though it's not, but yeah, I just had that feeling of, oh, when's this going to let up? You know, when's the tension going to break on this? And then never really does. It's kind of the genius of the episode. Well, I thought that whole boxing match element was very nostalgic for me because this was nineteen ninety When does add nineteen ninety two? I want to say, wasn't it ninety two?

Right back in a time when when there's a live paper view on a big boxing match or sporting event or a concert whatever, you couldn't just stream it whenever you felt like it. Later on, when it was live, it was live and you had to watch it. Then if you won't taping, you had to then watch it. So the fact that with why that moment who grew up in the nineties or lived through the nineties where something was about to come on TV and then something goes wrong You're like, fuck, I'm

going to miss this one thing. I mean looking forward to this entire time, I'm gonna miss it. And then for me it was the South Park from I've told you that the carts Mom's a Dirty Slut when they had the season finale or whatever it was, and the family were all the beach and I'm like, We've got to get home and watch Cartmann's a Dirty Slut, you know. Like, so I had to see that that finalewise, You're

you're never going to see it again. There was always that sense of, well, if I don't see it now, will I ever see it? Back in the nineties, And that's what that's what this is sort of building off of. You had to be very proficient with programming of VCR or something like that. Yeah it does. You be on standby to push those two buttons down at the same time or whatever, or you know, I just hope for a hope for a repeat or a rerun or something like that.

But no, I mean, it certainly did have that feeling of miss it now gone forever because pay per views were like now they're they're not dead, but they're dying. They're like, there's occasional wrestling pay per view or a boxing event, is it Triller whatever it is that Jake Paul boxing events that

the celebrity showdown basically things a UFC farts or MMA you see. Yeah, yeah, so that is so you have seen is kind of like the modern day boxing now, isn't it Like they're they're they're the ones that people seem to be looking forward to the most. You have your boxing pay per views, But they're not. They're not UFC level anymore. It really has sort of taken the place of heavyweight boxing and championship boxing and stuff like that.

Or yeah, definitely, if not raced right ahead of it, it's certainly got maybe ahead or two ahead of it at this stage. Yeah, I mean I was listening to a lot of podcasts about because Creed three isn't cinemas now. Guy's review coming soon, trust me, but a lot of them. One in particular, I was talking about how, yeah, boxing just

doesn't have the cachet that it used to have. It doesn't have the mass appeal that it used to have, and yeah, MMA seems to have kind of stepped up, and wrestling also to some degree in terms of like big physical male sport that well, and and female as well, sorry but primarily

male. Yeah, um, yeah, it seems like those things are taking precedence over say boxing, But I just like that aspect to it, just the way that sort of Cramer and Joy were excited for it at the start, you know, the little playboxing, it's coming, the events life like that that countdown like it's only five minutes, Like I love that throw when I was a kid being a big wrestling fan, skipping skipping school and watching the wwfpapvs back in the back in the day on the Monday morning here in

Australia. But I also liked here in this episode they brought up the flea market. Now, we recently toyed with the idea from our man. I believe it may have been Pat Wright who wrote into us, one of our first ever patrons. He wrote in with an idea for the flea market story, and I thought that would actually be a nice sequel to this one where

they actually do invite Kramer to the flea market this time. But overall, yeah, this was a really fun episode that starring obviously Lee Arenberg, who is one of those guys who's been a lot of things, but he's never really been the star of what he's been in, is has he? Well no, no, I mean I must admit, when he first showed up,

I'm like's this guy? I know this guy? I mean a middly I thought it was like David Cross from Mister Show and Arrest of Development and all that kind of stuff, but you know, a bulkier, angrier version. If you can't have an angrier version of David Cross. I was like, I know this guy, and all the way through I'm sort of racking

my brain. And then the end credits come up and say, oh, Lee, aaronber who I primarily know as one of the guys from one of the Henchmen from Parts of the Carabean a performance that I really liked as well. He fit really, he seemed to have that sign field energy and a really good antagonist or opponent for George. They seem like two sides of the

same coin, or even the same side of the same coin. Really, my note says George with testosterone George on the t Yeah, So basically he's just George, if George, because you get a sense that Mike would be the kind of guy that would throw some punches, right, oh George, George, wo never throw a punch. You'd try and find a way to talk himself out of throwing a punch, you know. So George is the guy. They both probably hate the same things. They probably have more more

similar with each other than what they actually realize. These two characters, but Mike and George, and when it comes to resolving something to take two different approaches. George is there, how can I wheezeer my way out? And Mike's like, motherfucker, let's throw down. I don't think Mike would be all that good at fighting, but he'd be enthusiastic it throws some punts, he goes swinging. Yeah, also to that at the end, we also so not quite the end, but when Jerry tells him I know what you've

been talking about and he tries to talk his way out of it. Yes, he comes across, such as when he yells at Cramer and says, why did you telling him? I'm like, it's a scary dude, he thought. A little ball of energy. He just comes across. I think the word to describe Mike would be unpredictable. Yes, volatile. You've got to watch out for guys like that who they may not seem like trouble,

but it's it's the Gimli effect. We also get the first appearance here of Matthew and his mother, who made their next appearance in The Non Fat Yogurt when they when Jerry ruins his father's business by spoiling the old non fat askment, I think the non fat yogurt will be up there with like top five most iconic episodes, right, he got super Nazi the non fat yogurt, But else would be up there either the bet, the contest. Sorry,

there'd be another one. Yeah, but there's certainly the best ones still all to come. But also did you know so he mentions here, Kramer says that you know, I think you're pregnant. Congratulations, But Julia was actually pregnant when they when they filmed this. He actually pregnant during this time. Watch she's wearing a lot of baggy clothes because she's actually pregnant with their kid.

Congratulations, JLD. Yeah. Getting back to um earlier on when we're discussing how they filmed it outside, So basically they had the set outside. They had a little stage like a like a tiered seating with one hundred one hundred people people coming and going, they said, though Tom Shona said it

didn't really work though because it wasn't on the sound stage. The actors couldn't hear the response from the audience, and the audience could barely hear them because it wasn't miked up properly, So the cameras were picking it up, but the crowd couldn't couldn't get They could sort of hear Mike yelling occasionally, but it didn't have the same effect. It's kind of like, Oh, we're going to watch seinfold, but it doesn't feel like we're watching a proper Seinfeld

sitcom set up, you know what I mean? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, and I imagine it would sort of possibly throw your timing or your interaction off. Yeah, but to the show's credit, it doesn't really seem that way. It's saying it still has that quintessential Seinfeld zip. That is. What were your favorite moments from the episode. I was very taken with the whole talk of hats and yep, you know, disappointing people if you or yeah, a hat being like sort of false, false pretense.

I'm gonna ask you, is this is this somewhat true to an extent in my case? No? Not really. I mean anytime I tend to wear caps and hats hats a lot because you know, first of all, yes, I'm bald, ads, and secondly, I'm very pale. I mean, I tend to burn very easily, so it's like I could wear so I'll generally put sunscreen and a hat on, just a double up. It's like we're in two condoms. But no, I mean, I'm not necessarily thinking I'm not going to go on a first date wearing a hat,

thinking I'm not going to take this off. Just you know, I'm not gonna give anyone in any extra ammunition against me or anything like that. I can see why people would do that, but I just thought it was very, very funny that the George would be like, oh, I wish I was around in the thirties and forties, you know, Heaven for bald men. But I thought that whole riff was was pretty hilarious. Actually, I was a big fan of that. And I also like the analogy of parking

and prostitution. If you can get a free park, then you take it, you know, paying for parking, I don't know, it feels kind of sorted. Well, I've got I've got an anecdote from that same shopping day. And when it comes to paying for parking as well, oh my god, we'll get to that. When we get to that moment but yes, I was another moment where I was none too impressed. Well, what were your favorite moments from this episode. I enjoyed when Kramer says, well,

I usually parking in front first. Fun first, That's how you park when you're pulling a bank job. I also loved the scene where Julia walks in Elaine bursts in. She's like or disheveled, she's got she's gone full story. You know, these kids were chasing us, but the Hennigans and she tips it into sick with Joey's not looking and look on Jerry's face like the fuck you drank? All that I just thought acted so well without any

words being used. It was just very, very very good. Also, the bit that tickled me the most was we come back from commercial and they have selected two different drivers to park their carts for them because I don't trust themselves. I'm like, that is awesome. These guys like are so ridiculous.

But the fact that they're also everyone's gathered around their stand and they're waiting for their cars get part because I don't trust each other and I was like, this is just so Si Fell. But I just love it, and the fact that it got darker over the commercial break. They've been there for a while. Yeah, it's just so awesome. Could you spell that? Please? No? Next question?

And I say this with all due respect to the rest of our new patrons, but I'm going to walk around saying for them and Chen it's a great name. That's just that's great fun

to say. My first question to you, mister Dando. Jerry parked his car at the corner of what and what? That was My first question actually where it was eighty fourth and Columbus. Fourth and Columbus. My first one was where was the toll booth? That's Helene said that they got harassed at? Was it that Henry Hudson. Henry Hudson, Henry Husson? Ye, what's Homer Hudson? Was that ice cream? I don't know. That's Google. Let's have a quick look Homer Hudson. Anything he named something brand wise

Homer after The Simpsons was release, is just asking for a lawsuit? That is true. Yeah, Homer Hudson chocolate ice cream? When was it established here? Homer Hudson was a brand. It must have been before some discmeut. Let's have a look Homer Hudson's in Australia as well. It's a brand of ice cream. Is it still available. Homer Hudson is a super premium ice cream packed full of unapologetic chunks of everything a mouth could hope for.

You've got three hundred and sixteen followers on Instagram. When did they last post? The last posted four hundred and five weeks ago, So I would say to a show that they're probably if it's just anymore. I think Ben and Jerry got together and they kicked the shit out of Homer Huts. Yeah. Yeah, they went to town and then Hargan Das came in and just administered

the kudo gras. But I remember those occasions when I was a starving freelancer and like, oh, I've made a say I'll tend to treat myself, and you know, I'd got in the supermarket and get yourself a little tub of Homer Hudson and was like, oh, what's the premium ice cream? Chock full of good stuff? But I've forgotten all about it until just that very moment. Yeah, I am funny with ice cream. If I'm going to go full iceings, I usually it's got the light ice cream because I'm

just funny like that. But if I'm going to go full blunt ice you, it's got to be. Do you have chunks of shit in it? You know it's good like cookies and cream with chunks of cookie And don't just give me like strawberry full fat ice cream. I want chunks. It's gonna be chunky ice cream. I don't know what about you. Are you a

chunky ice cream kind of guy? On occasion? Yes, I mean I like a like say a Rocky Road style ice creams, like oh yeah, there's a bit of a nice chunk of marshmallow or a nut or a bit of chocolate something like that, but they're occasionally like an smooth one as well.

I saw a machine recently. It came up and I actually was Target where it was like you know where you got your cold rock ice cream here in Australia where they mix all different You p pay like twenty bucks extra, just what you can do at home basically, but it's a machine that you tip Eminem's and Smarties and lollies or whatever into it and you sort of pull the lever and it makes like a cold rock ascream, like mixes it all through the ice cream, and I'm like, this is a genius idea,

as like forty bucks I'm like, I could buy this, but I didn't buy it. But I'm like, if someone out there has got one of these machines, let me never works. So I want to get it because just pulling all these sweets into it, and it's pulling the lever and having this chocolate ice cream full of sweets, it'll be the best. Okay, Willy Wonka, Yeah it does sound nice. Am I asking you a question? Yeah? Youre asking your next one? Yeah? Okay? Where is

the fleamak get located? Ah? Fuck? I should know? This? Was it west Chester or whatever it's called? West was? Just? Yes? Okay? My final question because you stole my first one. Was someone's yelling out driving a truck, an ice cream truck. They tell them to move because they've got a whole truck full of ice cream here. Who did he work for? You can see the top of the sign on the door. Oh give your clue. Specter James Bond, No, Phil Spector Phills?

What was called shows? Where my head's at? All? Right? I have one more question here if you're interested. H Jerry in his final stand up, is talking about a game of musical chairs that everyone took. Everyone sat down in what year was nineteen sixty four. And the reason I know this is because I remember when I watched it, I was like, oh, that's the year the Beatles played in Melin. It's amazing how our

brains work. Yeah, it really is. By the way. Fun fact, the guy who was yelling out the truck driver, his name is Michael Costanza and or college friend of Jerry Seinfeld's who inspired the name George Costanza. There you go. Do you love Bob's Burgers? Of course you do. Who doesn't. Well, what if I was to tell you that if you supported j Pal's Guy and Dando for just a dollar a month, you could

So go ahead, help us reach out a goal and finally launched that Bob's Burgers podcast by going to patreon dot com slash four figure discount. You have the parent inside you right now, so use it. The original air day of The Parking Space was April twenty second, nineteen ninety two. It was directed by Tom Sharonez and written by Larry David and Gregor Daniels. The episode kicks

off with some stand up discussing compact car parks. You do see this occasionally and you're just like, okay, I'm not offended it. I'm just like, motherfucker, just why can't I park there? I get it's usually because if you park there, you're going to cause the person almost like adjacent to it not be able to back out. But I'm like, hey, that's

their problem, not mine. Right. Yeah. I've been in a few occasions where it's like, you're very close, I could make this, I reckon yeah, And then once you're in, it's like, yeah, you're right in somebody else's problem. I got mine. And as a Seymour Skinner, as I'm in the lines, you don't like it, go tell your mamma exactly right. That wasn't skinner there, that was this is ka. I think that was missus k because yes, of course, yes, missus

Skinner is going to hear about this, believe me. Yes, I've got some bad news for your buddy. I think your car got stolen again. Why do you talk? And I'm bad? Or you parked it on eighty fourth in Columbus, right, yeah, well I just walked by there and that car is gone. Oh yeah, I know whoa Well where is it? Well, there's no difference, you know. I'm just curious. I always have to know everything that's going on. Don't you what happened to the car? If I don't tell you, it will kill you, won't it.

Yeah? Yeah, it'll kill me. You have to know. You must know. I must know. Well I'm not telling you. Oh come on, Nope, I don't think so. But please not today. Bo Okay, I beg you, now see, just saying beg doesn't make it a real beg. You gotta put some beg into it. Okay, please space down, all right, I'll tell you, but your beggar needs a lot of work. Okay, okay, what is it? Come? I loaned the car to George George Charley, but what four? George and Elaine

went to a flea market in Westchester. Okay, all right, I mean why did you want to go there for? Would you stop it? Alrighty? You know, why didn't they ask me to go? I don't know how much wasn't know, but they don't like me. I don't like you. Why didn't they ask me to go? Oh? Yeah? Did you think that was a kramer esque to be annoyed that he wasn't invited to the flea marker Flip Kramer has been very blase. For him to hold such a strong grudge felt a little bit off for Cramer in my opinion. Well,

he's so unpredictable, isn't he? He is unpredictable? Yeah? I mean sometimes do you think he's, you know, just go with the flow and does whatever he pleases. But sometimes you think he really wants to be part of the group. Yeah, I don't know. Do you think he was more upset that he wasn't he wasn't hanging out with George and Lane, or that he dipped down on potential bargains at the flea market? Yeah? Potentially. Wait, I love the idea of going to like those fleet We don't

call the flea markets here, we just call him just markets whatever. But they've got to be the meal markets here and Geelong where it's just very your stalls, and I'm like, you know, I'm like, if I go there, I know I'm going to find something old that I don't need, but I want. Yeah. Do you know how many times I've been to places like the Mill Market and pulled out leather jackets and think, maybe,

do you meanly go bad to the whole? Three times? Exactly three times I've done it, you know, And it's usually like some long black you know, Keanu s Keano in the Matrix style, the long trescat one. Okay, yeah, I mean I'd tend to be fairly picky about that kind of things, but like, oh, this is a this is a pretty good one, and it's a bit of money, but it's a lot less

money. They'll be back if I got a new But at the same time, I'm the kind of guy I can pull off a you know, I don't think i'd look like Neo. I think I'd look like Joe Panteliano when the Matrix instead eating the State's ignorant. That's the every time Lou and I would go out to park for a steak, my cipher coat. This is juicy. Look at this douchebag. But imagine walking out of the meal markets wearing that coat though, with the final song playing in your head for the

Matrix, just flying into the sky. He just got like an you know, your MP three player or something in your pocket or or your phone. Yes, let's bring us up to the modern moment um. Yeah, you've got Rage of the Machine on Spotify. What the song was that wasn't killing the name of was it? What song were they playing? No, no, I can. I'm gonna look it up because it's because they had at the end of the Matrix Resurrections the latest one, but it was someone else

song end of Matrix. Let's have a look song end of Matrix. It's wake Up, yes, wake Up? Yeah? Yeah, that new Matrix not great. Yeah, I watched it going this is fine, but that I've actually said it's numerous times you find it with number four in a film franchise. It's never usually like terrible, but you're watching it going was it necessary? No? Yeah, I think that this one's sort of running on fumes. Yeah, yeah, it's get We're getting there. It's a little

bit too matter, a little bit too matter. For my liking very very much too matter. Yeah, and there were people who are really into that kind of thing, and yeah, more power to him, but it felt like a Saturday not life skid at times compared to an actual Matrix movie a little bit. Yeah, and God bless Uiano. We all love him, but I think he's well, he's pushing sixty, isn't he actually is sixties?

He doesn't look it, no, although he's starting to look starting to essionally shaves the mustache off in fucking Bill and Tere I was like, whoa, yes, but you see pictures. I mean john Wick four is coming up fairly soon. Yeah, I can't wait for it, really looking forward to it. But you see the behind the scenes stuff where ye know, he's sort of talking about, oh, here's the making, when here were all these great action stizes. It was like, dude, you're looking a

bit kind of drawn and tired. And I hope, I hope John Wick four is great. I'm sure it will be, but I hope it might be the last one. I hope you wrap it up nicely and then you know, Keiana can just have a nice late part of his career doing you know, romantic comedies. Or stuff where he gets the obsid at a desk, Lean Neesson walks up to him and he goes, it'll happen to you. Lean Neeson's realized now, like I can't do big action movies. Be

just sort of the occasion you can. You can throw the occasional punch. Now he's always like an older, tired FBI agent or whatever. But you know, get back to Seinfeld. So we get George here. You're very happy with his hat. As you're discussing earlier, there was a ball paradise in the twenties and thirties. They didn't but they didn't know it. You

know, that's the thing. You look back on photos from the twenties and thirties and the fucking style of the people back then compared to now, Like, yeah, look at guys and you guys would wear a suit to go buy a pack of smoke from the milk bar. Now people wear fucking moccasins and trackies and sometimes no shirt. Blue and I were watching Married at First Sight last night because I'm a good boyfriend and I'll watch Married at First Sight

with my girlfriend. And you know, they had one couple sitting down for the you know, at the end of the end of week debriefing or whatever it was. She looked like she was dressed to go to the oscars. He looked like he was dressed to go to pick up fish and chips. And I mean, I'm I tend to get a bit sensitive about that kind of thing because you'll see on you know, social media or something like women are always you know, dolling themselves up for their for their men, and

men just aren't, you know, putting in the effort. And I'm like, oh no, sometimes we put in the effort, but you see things like like, oh no, We're really not, aren't we. This is the thing I was starting off. I started exercising a bit. Next I'm just like, all my nice clothes they fit, but they don't quite fit. And I'm like, I just said, it's a little bit of weight

because now I can be wearing my nice shit again. Because I'm just I'll just go on like Dad boddas last twelve months, it's just been fucking hard being dad and just know Holly's not sleeping and all these extra shit. So I'm just like, now at the time I'm going to exercise, I'm going to fit into my nice, cool shirts and feel nice again. Oh yeah, Now this is the primary reason men, I aim to lose weight,

and maybe I'm probably women too, you know. I mean you can say no, I want to be around longer for my kids, or I want to have a bit more. I want my clothes to fucking fit. Yeah, that's something. I've blown so much money on clothes. And yeah, I'm like you, Dan, I mean, I've got shirts that it's like, m Yeah, if I wear this out, I'm looking a bit like a sausage. This is a bit of a Christmas hands so precisely so, I'm like, no, I'm very much with you on like I mean,

as soon as we finished recording this podcast, maybe not as immediately. Maybe I'll take a few minutes just to take a breath. But then no, I'm going for a run around the block and I'm going to keep running around. Should get like a trabmilla or a bike or something. Just fucking watch movies and exercise at the same time. I killed two birds at once, don't I know. But I actually like getting out and getting fresh. It's good for you. It's good for the head as well as the as well

as the heart and body. Yeah, but so yeah, Daniel and guy bringing you the beef keg bucket George's um. He explains how he's worried about that first moment he took the hat off. That's why you know he can't wear a hat around ladies, because he's just like he's worried. What if they think I'm not bored? What was the point in your life where you just went, I don't care that I'm bored, because like, being bored doesn't mean anything to me. I can give a fuck whether you're ball or

not. But as someone who is who who? As someone who you know you've said you've lived through it, right, what was the point where you just went, I don't care if anyone knows that I'm bored. I'm just I'm bored and that's who I am. Well, do you think you live via casually through like the Bruce Willis ear away? He was like, it's cool to be bored. Oh yeah, to an extent a bit. Yeah. I mean certainly when I first noticed it that it was really thinning,

like this is a bit of a drag. I mean the initial part, I'm like, I've got a bit of recession there. That's not too bad, you know, But I've got enough left uptop that I can, you know, swirl it and cover it all up. But it'll be fine. It'll be fine. But anyone who's suffered male pattern ball, yeah, there's just some dreadful in between stage where you know it's all going, but it hasn't all gone yet, and there's not much you can do with it,

you know. I mean, that's the and that's easily the point where guys starts shaving it or just trimming it right down with the number one number one kind because I think it was to be trying to justify keeping the little bit sometimes you see that the guys had a little bit of fluff, like an island in the middle of the head. It's like, just get rid of it. Yeah, why, yeah, that's that's not fooling anybody. Yeah, I don't think I ever had any real moments of like denial or anything

like that. I Mean, Lou asked the other night if I'd ever thought about you here, replacement techniques or anything like that. I'm like, no, never did. Just see mainly because when I was losing my hair was in the stage where those things just looked really obvious. Yeah, And I didn't want that. I know, I was just handsome and dashing enough with hero or without it. You need a demoxinol from the Simpsons demoxinol whatever it was called. Anyway, So Elaine moves the moves the mirror so you can

see a glasses courses. George says, is what caused him to him or over the pothole. But really maybe I was not a great driver. But Cramer then comes up with the Kramer and he's furious. He says, well, I don't like you. You've got problems. Problems. Jerry mentions that the fight starts in thirty five minutes. They sort of pretend their fight,

as will say, and they're all amped up. They're really excited. I think just little things like that create the sense that it's a big deal of this fight, which is why Jerry doesn't want to miss in things like they clearly excited for it. Kramer says he's invited over Mike Moffatt. Oh hey, you know I invited Mike Morfatt. You don't mind, do you? No? I like Mike, Yeah, yeah, I just got off the phone with him. You know, we had a great conversation. Oh yeah,

what're you talking? About Well, actually he's talked about you. Yeah, he had some pretty interesting things to say. Oh yeah, what say? You have to know everything? Don't come on, cram Why is that? Why do you have to know everything? Crammer, Just tell me what the guy said. Bag me, Ladies, don't make me. I want you to bag me, and I don't want you to say it. I just want you to put some bagon. Cramer, please tell me what the guy No, No, I really don't think that's a bag. Oh it's

close, but Cramer, Look, I can't say anything. You know, the guy told me the stuff in confidence. I'd be betraying a friend. Well, you can't just mention it and then not tell me. All right, I'll tell you, but you can't say anything to him. I'm not saying anything. I'm putting it in the vault. I'm locking the vault. That's a vault. I think you're a phony. I told you he thinks you're a phony. A phony. He called me a phony, a big phony. Why don't you tell me that? If I can't say anything,

you bag Kramer should use his judgment here. If someone says to you one of your friends, you know, it's just say Tony, your friend Tony, Right, Anthony, Tony says to you one of your other friends, I think he's a pretentious that guy. You wouldn't then tell that friend, right, or do you think it's your duty as a friend to tell them? I think you just don't say anything. No, I don't think you're saying anything. I mean, yeah, you have to use your judgment in

that regard. I mean, if someone really unloads on someone that you know, you got to stop them, and yeah, then you've got us all. Yeah. And also if you know that person is then being kind of false faced to that persons, Hey, how are you doing? And all that kind stuff, like I think this person might be full of shit. Yeah, but you know if it's just like a bit of a phony, you know. I mean, I don't know, maybe there's having a bad day, or maybe they had a bad running, just one bad running and

they kind of colored their opinion in that way. But no, I kind of keep that to myself. But Krammer here, he sort of falls behind the fact of well you begged me. It's like, yeah, but you shouldn't have the first place I've said, Oh, well, he's had some interesting things about you. It's like as soon as you say that, you have to tell them. Now you do, don't you. Yeah, that's poor form. Yeah, makes some Jerry promise that you won't tell Mike,

which obviously he doesn't. Later on we get GEORGEI and he's blaming a lane. He threw off his equilibrium when she moved moved the mirror, and she questions he's driving, and he does not take this well at all. And when he's sort of saying how he can do this and he can do that, I'm sure you could. But men do get very defensive about their driving. Absolutely, yes, yeah, I mean, do you think you're a good driver. I'm a good driver, not a good parker. This is

the thing. Nicola, not a great driver, good parker? Right? I sorry? Your dream team, Yeah, we're a dream team. The problem is that I call Nikola a zipper. She's very zippy with their parking over their driving. She's you know, she's one of those people who when I approached what I can see, there's a red light ahead, right, I roll to the red light slowly. He's on the brake and just pull

up right. She has the drive drive drive drive drive break. I'm like you saw it was red like she's very often he's sort of like jerking in the car of Nickeola because she doesn't. She likes. She likes to be on the move. She doesn't like to be slowing down. She's very zippy, zippy zippi driver in and out of lane's parking. She's fine. She's one of those pompous people that has to fucking reverse into a park no matter where you are, She's going to reverse him. I'm like, Nicola,

just point it's easy to pull out. I'm like, yeah, hold, it was traffic. There's like three parks. Yeah, you could have just driven him. Jesus Christs all the time. But um but yeah. But me, I'm a much better I feel like I'm a better judgment of reading the play, I say, and then when you read the plates on, all right, I can see that car three cards heads, got the right indicator on. I'm going to get in the left lane now, so I

get stuck behind them while they're waiting for uncoming things like that. Nicola doesn't, she's not good at reading the traffic like that. I too, I'm very much like that. Well, I like to think that I am. I'll tell you a quick story. Uh, I was going out with this woman I was we were up in Melbourne where she lived, and I was driving her to work one morning, and I was also doing stuff for the

radio at this time. I was doing movie reviews for the radio station down here Geelong, so I had to do it over the phone, and I didn't have hands free so I was so I basically had the phone in one hand. I'm driving her to work through this out of Melbourne suburb that's kind of busy and it's not it's not quite rush out, but there's you know, there's a traffic on the road and I'm sort of I'm driving with one

hand, I got the phone in the other. I'm zipping in and out between cars and you know that I'm gonna stop and all that it comes to, you know, I've done my five ten minute review or whatever to hang up. One looked him and said, don't ever do that again. She was terrified. I mean, I feel bad if you ever drive me anywhere and you pulled that phone out. But mate, put that phone down.

So yeah, I really enjoyed. Agent Cody Banks to assignment or I'm just trying to ye, I've got my radio voice on and shit, she looked, don't ever do and he was dating a woman, correct, I dropped riving. Now I never saw her again. I think we should only see other people. But yeah, so anyway, so George, George's um. He's angry that lane's questioned he's parking. He says he's got a system. He looks for the dreaming spot. He won't park in the parking garage.

He's gonna find the dreaming spot where he drives around and around you like, around the block, and then works his way out, basically like the Australian thing, the Australian thing. We do the block, you do the blocky yep, it's like you know, you dropped on one. I was like, if I can find a parking fine, but I'm gonna otherwise. I'll do a block here, I'll do it. I'll go around the block. Yeah. And he explains here that nobody in his family can pay for parking.

It's like a sickness. He mentions his brother here. The last time we ever hear about George's brother. I was thinking about that because I mean, I've watched my share of Seinfeld, but I mean I wouldn't call myself, you know, an absolute encyclopedia, like you, Dana, not thinking did Brad Garrett show up as like his brother or something? Thing? You know, I mean, I know Brad Garrett is Raymond's brother, but yeah, did his brother? Was his brother happened? Yeah? No, it

doesn't exist. This last week gets mentioned, he got mentioned in the suicide, and he gets mentioned in this episode here. But yes, my parking story, right, So I was out for shopping with Nichola that day and it was the day it was our anniversary day. Actually, we sort of went out shopping in sort of the day to ourselves, no kids, blah blah, took the day off work and at it's called Westfield here shopping plaza.

We can park here, right, and it's like one dollar for the first hour, you know, three dollars for the first two, five dollars for the next four or whatever. And then we're like all right, cool, well you know it was it was it was five dollars for four hours, and be like no, eight dollars whatever for like six or whatever. We'll just got like three dollars brackets. That's sort of seemed No, once you go over four or five hours, it goes to seventeen dollars. Oh

my god. I was furious. Nicholas was like, don't worry about I'm like, no, it's the fucking principle, and she and I'm like. I was like, I was so angry for like five minutes. Nickola was like, just calmed down, don't ruin the day. We have such a good dawn, right, But why the fuck? Why is it five dollars but we go an extra three minutes and now it's seventeen Fuck you. First of all, first thing, I really want to set up a chalkboard or

a little scoreboard every time he's like, it's the principle. It's a principle. I think you've just got so many principles that you do, that you follow in life or that you think people should follow in love. But secondly, that really sucks. I mean, yeah, just that. Oh how do they justify that over five hours to over? I don't know how they justify I think this was my theory at the time. A casual shift has to be I think it's five hours or four hours, right, so I

think it wanted to go over four hours. It was like seventeen dollars, right, whatever it was, it was the minimum casual shift is like four hours here in Australia, right, So I think it's preventing workers from parking

there and taking up space from customers. They want workers to go park elsewhere and then customers can park in the shopping plaza because if if a casual worker is working more than four hours, they won't then parking next we're gonna pay seventeen dollars, but they're less than four hours, they're only going to pay five. So I think it's a way of weaning out the workers. Well

thought out down, that's a good way of thinking about it. I mean, have you parked in Melbourne recently in the CBD, I always park a crack casino. Yeah, it's the way to go in all honesty. I mean I went, I parked at a city car park a couple of weeks ago, and you know, got up there nights and early. I'll take it vant to the early bird discounts and like, oh, it's twenty five bucks for this amount of time. Fine, good, I got that. And I've misread it of course, because I mean I got back a little

um, I got back and I put the ticket in. It's like that'll be seventy eight dollars please, seventy eight Holy shit, seventy eight dollars. Yeah, because they charge an extortion amount per hour if you get in a certain time. And then then I realized, oh, it's if you if you leave after a certain time as opposed to before a certain time. It's the early bird rate. Okay. So I'm like, yeah, because I went, I saw a pull my ticket and who works out it's playing this

to me? And this guy said, yeah, you read it wrong. Don't worry. Everybody reads it wrong. Come back in fifteen minutes. You'll be fine. We'll cotch you twenty five buck. Oh okay, I'm going to go. I'm going to go have a cocktail. Apologies for that black eye, sir, excuse you, pardon me for spitting. And I was about to challenge into a duel, slap him across the lace, rubbing glove. But yo, parking, parking, and see Seinfeld knows what time it is. People just get worked up over it. Yeah, but I just

love the excitement of George when they Elaine finds the park. See see, I told you I was right. You know, he's a jovial The thing is, he's so you know, arrogant about his parking that he holds up. He wastes enough time talking about himself that gives Mike enough time to catch up and trying to steal the park. So it's George's fault in the effort for blubbing about himself for too long. Indeed, pride, pride comes before the fall. By the way, what did you think of the hat and

the Sunnis? Who was wearing the hat and the sunnies? Well, George, George bought a hat and sunnis. What do I think of him? What do you think of him? I thought George suited the hat for sure. I know Joey makes fun of him and says high Indiana, But um, I thought that had suit on him. I just didn't didn't fit quite right. I mean he might have to sort of adjust that a bit more. Hated the Sunnis. Hated the sun is, yeah, I mean sunny is for me, they either look great or they look just obnoxious to me.

Sunnis. Sometimes you see some people with glasses and the big chunky ones just basically covering their face. I'm like, what are you doing? Nicholas? One of those people that has to be wearing sunny we're going in the backyard. Oh, where's my son is? Where's my Sunny's? Or we'll get it to the car. I forgot my son is. I'm like Nicola, we're driving to maccas Oh it's too bright. I'm like, Nicola, you're not wearing your You'll be fine. People will see your eyes. You'll

be okay, stress less. I'm team Nicola. I've got it. I can't leave the house. My sunnies go to them. But Sunny's, I'm like, I'm like, what's his name? Marlon Brown on the island with Doctor Moreau. I've just got to have like the zinc cream all over whenever I leave the house, and big shades. But George, she says,

you know, I wish you could make a living from parallel parking. I'm like, I'm pretty sure a few episodes ago you had the chance to do that, and you sucked it up, Budd and you ruined Woody Allen's movie. Good point, man, Mike, you told George this is where Mike Paul's in head first, And as I've forgot my notes here, I'm completely with George here. Mike's doing the wrong thing. Plus Mike's just a douchebag. I'm like, naw, they established earlier, they established earlier. It

Mike's not a nice person. He's been talking about Joey behind his back. So as an audience member, you're like, well, I'm already teamed George, regardless or whether he's right or wrong. He talks behind your back, and he tries to pull in from the front. Yeah, and Elaine there, she just needs to go to the toilet. So she goes to tell Jerry what happened. She has to come up with an idea, tells me I think of something, and just to end the scene here, just both

start honking their horns at each other. I I'm a horn honker occasionally. I did it to an old guy yesterday who was just I don't like honking old people, right, but when you're holding up traffic because yeah, they don't know what you're doing, or you forget where you are, I'm not sure. But we're in the car park and you're the car park at Woolworths. I'm paco. Terrible car park, very busy, very small right there. Yeah, it is the probably the second worst besides Supermarket car park and

Geelong. So this old girl the worst this old guy pulls out, so like pulls out of the park. Everyone's waiting for him, and he just stops. He starts adjusting his mirrors, and I'm like, go, motherfucker go. Here's where I get very angry because if you get into your car, if you yeah, your car is parked, you get into your car

to pull out, it's on you to adjust your ship very quickly. Person won't do it before you even turn your engine on, you know, it's like, oh, I'd better adjust my side mirrors or something like that, Better make sure the seats right, all this kind of stuff. That's when you turn it off. Because the minute you hit your indicators, say I'm leaving, that's when you leave. Do not sit there with your indicator on and then take maybe don't even take thirty seconds. You just get out of

there as quickly as possible to make that. All the people that sort of they turn their car on in the parking space and then so they take it out a park, put their foot on the brakes and the brake lights come on. So you're sitting there waiting for him to come out, and they fucking they come out. It's like, are you moving? Are you getting out what the fuck you're doing. And then you start to go, and then they start reversing out and you're like, oh, now you're going.

You've got to be careful how you use the you honk the horn. I mean, I I don't think I've ever sort of gone to anyone, and maybe I think I could count on two hands the occasions that I've done that in all the time I've been driving a while. M Yeah, get a little right at the at the lights, for instance, you know, you at the green arrow. They haven't noticed the green arrow. Come on, If it's less than two seconds, that's that's the come on, buddy,

It's okay. I'm not not angry. More than two seconds, that's like let's throw down. Yeah, it's but a little. It's like a tap on the shoulders, like excuse me, We're good to go. Yeah, excuse me, fucking idiot, And but one more grip to get out. It's people when you're waiting for someone, a grippy episode waiting for someone at

the petrol station, the gas station that we call in America. You're win your turn and they get back to their car and then start fucking going through their wallet and start doing this, start doing that, and it's like, go to the park and do that. Go park over there and do your fucking wallet, and shit, don't do it now or even even worth than that. Say, there are two bowsers, right, and yeah, they're

both being used. The first person pulls out in the second one is there, and it's like, can I still a sneak around and get into that first one? But often you can't. You just didn't have having to wait

for this person forever. Yeah, why don't we even use gust? Okay, now, listen, we were at the toll booth at the Henry Hudson Parkway, okay, and there were these like this pack of extremely wild teenagers in a convertible behind us, okay, and for some reason, I don't know, they just started to taunt us and so and so then we pay the toll and then and then we went through, and then they started to

follow us. All right, So George tries to lose him and and and but but they were in this really like a souped up car, you know. And so he turned off the road really suddenly and the car was on two wheels, and I was just sorry, George, this is such a fiver yeah, he is fantastic. And then they fired a gun right up in the air. I think it was a gun. And then and then they followed us all the way into the city and then they just stopped and they turned around and I went home. Are you okay? Yeah, yeah,

I'm already. Oh, by the way, the car hit aparthole and now it's making a clanking noise. Oh well, I mean, as long as you're okay, that's the important thing. Exactly. She's so great at this, isn't she Julia at just She told it once before, but it wasn't It wasn't a bullshit story. It was her talking about something crazy on the highway. It was at the airport or something. It was the episode

where they get the stranded at the party, wasn't it or something? There was some there was some episode where she tells a story about being like stranded or like a highway or something. But she's just the madness of the traffic. She's so good at just George, I mean, Jason Alexander's great added

as well, but they're do it in two different ways. She's almost like exhausted, where he's just like agitated when they tell the stories that's a great way of putting it, that she's just a sort of so worn out by oh my god, all this happen. I can't believe this. You won't believe what happened, you know, But just her emphasis on the words. And George is such a George driver. Yeah, George gets yeah, George

gets more worked up the more he tells the story. You can feel Elaine powering down and everyone well just you know, but you know, you know, and then you know, George hit a pothole. Now you can't making the clanking sound, but you know whatever, just sort of at the end of the story. But I loved it. And he had a gun. He had a gun. I think it was a gun. It's always like the Elaine character whether one step too far and she was like, actually,

I don't know where I'm going with this. I think it was a gun. Look it turned this back down a little bit. Just her face at the end was just great. And I like the way they played it up like Jerry believed it. He didn't. He was playing them the entire time. So he goes to see George first of all, when he was at the window. Crazy kids, Huh, what's thought it was so funny. And then Elaine realized, oh fuck, got to cover up for this, and then Kramer he enters. He's not happy with Elane, but so Cramer

and Joe that they go to help. Lane's gonna come down. After she's finished in the toilet. Mike says to George here, you know, I'm going to sleep in my car. George, I'll die out here. There's no way either of these guys are gonna lose. Like George is going to go to the ends of the year to make sure he wins this debate and the bystanders or debating as well. And Larry David has said that whilst he agrees that reversing in as the way to go, like George was right here,

he wanted to make sure it was balanced out. So he wanted to make sure that the people who decide that driving in forward is the right thing they get their fair share as well, which is why he had everyone sort of debating, the police and the bystanders and things like that. Jerry here, you know, acknowledging, you know, says to George Indiana that to me was just like it was just friends being friends, just a bit of bad yeah, And he can see that the relationship between Jerry and George is

so much more pleasant than the relationship with Mike and Kramer. I just I just feel like Mike is just not a good person to have around. This isn't we kept saying unpredictable. He's not the kind of person you want at a party. Because one person says the wrong thing, he parties ruined. Yeah, I mean, Newman's not a pleasant person, but he's sort of on the same wavelength as Crameer to some degree. All there, he is who he is. He doesn't hide who he is. His unpleasantness synchronizes with

Kramer's laid backness. But he also he doesn't He doesn't pretend to like somebody. If he doesn't like it, he'll tell you that he isn't like you. Yeah, you're looking tremendous. What do you want some kind of regiment? Yeah, twenty five percent brand pleagus. The forty percent was too much, so I father STI makes it up special for me. They're taking down another fifteen percent. Definite. Hey, your friend, he has some real problems me. You see what he did here, You see how he tried

to sneak into my space. He just because I went in front, person, doesn't mean I'm sneaking stroll me backing up and getting up room the parrel up. I only wait in front first because I could make it in front first. Out of your pot I'll show you. Oh got a prayer. I go in front first all the time. Frun first. That's how your park when you're pulling a bank job. Did you did you talk to him? Yeah, it's all taken care of. I told him, what did you say? I did a number on him. It was a thing of

beauty. You really had to have been there on a christiate And what did you say? I told him? A pack of teenagers in a convertible or terrorizing huts and they followed us into the city a pack. By the time I get to the end of the store, he was so relieved that we were alive. He couldn't care once about the car us. It's as simple as that. What can I say? You know it's a gift. I don't know. Wish I could teach you, but you know it's inborn and

cramer than as it confronts them, why didn't you invite me? And then it goes on. That's what that's what you're annoyed about. But she noticed here Mike made fun of them for going to the flea market as well. You went to a flea mark, like, fuck you dude, is this guy? But they said they forgot George has a guy, Jerry Jery. I don't know. I was supposed to say it wasn't suposed to say anything. And George is just like you didn't exercise your judgment, Jerry. He

didn't do anything wrong in my opinion, I don't think so. Ay, why would he think Kramer will be annoyed? Yeah, we'll established that there four friends who obviously have lunch together and things like that, but they have lives outside of each other as well. That's the thing. Yeah, they're not existing in each other's pockets. No, yeah, yeah, it's a massive overreaction from Cramer, and he doesn't accept. George is so so sorry. At the ice cream and Driver, which was Jerry's college buddy, Hey,

this car, I gotta get you, worry the man. I guess you'd better be moving your car and like you're not just gonna back it in if I do that, Well, somebody vadible something soon. I gotta drop all ice cream here we get back from commercial and they've got the two non passion drivers to move the cars because they didn't trust themselves. And then Jerry questions the story, and George's going along with that. Lane's going along with

as well, why did you do to my car? When Jerry goes for Jerry, sci fi is just there's no one like it really is an it's it's so much fun to hear and so much fun to actually do to do it. Yeah, it's so much fun. Ton as I my boys. You know, I never said a good driver said I was a good park and I was like, no, no, no, no, no, rewind the tape. You said you're a good driver, buddy. And it's where Sid rocks up from the alternate side. Old Sid. He's like,

whatever you pod car? Something goes on, Hey, somebody better move these cards. You're making a commotion. They said, who are you? Never mind? Why? I am? I know? Why? I am know? Why is it every time you parker card is block everything gets instructed and joined if said, it's completely his fault, right, why did you start taking a bush? It's now starting to get dark and Jerry Eline say they went to leave, but George doesn't want them to this old guy arguing with

Matthew the kid. I'm like, it was my kid. I'm like, oh man, what are you doing? Go away, leave my child alone. I must have been it's a it's a come way. You didn't really expect to say no. No. But then we see Jerry, you know, he tells his father's business is closing down. Kramer congratulates his mother for being pregnant. Have you ever witnessed a moment like this? I once, when I worked in the Dahi, had a worker compliment a customer on being

pregnant. When they went pregnant. I died inside for them. You would, wouldn't you know. I mean I've I think I learned from a young age. It's like, never never assume that no, Never never assume that no. Yeah. They could be in the delivery room and he was like getting your appendix out because there was this sense of no. It was a pack dally and just this like everyone just like, oh, I'm going to turn on the slice of buddy, you can go and put your head.

I was like, oh shit. It was one of those moments I will never forget. I remember thinking thinks, oh god, that was not me. Here's the thing though, righte I died inside picking up Alott from daycare on Monday. It was a Friday. That was Friday. Right. So there is a little person right whose child goes to Aliott's daycare and she picks him up every day blah blah blah when we usually at the same time as me. Alliott walks up to this woman right in her face and says,

why are you so small? And I was like, no, no, but but that's my bully. She just went because everyone's just super different, buddy, and she know. She took it like a champion. I was like, oh yeah, well and made me realize I shouldn't have been embarrassed by that. A he's four. He's not doing it from a malicious point of view. He's just asking questions because he's fucking four years old. And the way she handed it is how we should always handle it. We're all

different, doesn't make anyone worse or better. We're just different. I was like, I fucking learned something today. But at that moment, for that brief two three seconds, I froze. I didn't know what to do. I was like, oh oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. But She was just like, no, we're all super different, buddy. And I was like I'm sorry, and she's like, no, it's fine, and she just kept walking. I was like, shout out to that little l was like, yeah, why why did I panic?

I literally panicked for a moment, But yeah, learned something. Yeah, we're all different. That's all that matters. Tell you. Kids are all different and nobody's better than anybody else. Of course, Kramer has to double down though. He's like, are you sure you're the hole is deep enough? Mate? Yeah? Most people just take the l Are you sure? It's now nighttime? And Jerry tolls e Lane. You know, Mike said this about me, and she says, you know, you've got to open

your vault. You've I can't. I promise Kramer, You've got to open the vault. Then we get newm in here, and you know he agrees front first. You know, if you're going front first, you're reducing everyone to jungle law before we're doing it. Before we get into that part though, just a little shout out to that lovely little word play where they're talking about the vault. Joe's asking this guy for he was talking me out. He's right, never Oh yeah, what if he got to ten carlinks?

Should the pull all the way up to the front car? But I'm supposed to be got ten carlinks? Ten car ls? What about Sundays and holidays? I got here? The guy played Michael was his name again? Um Lee? He nearly flubs his line here, but they left it in obviously, So he's yelling and carrying on, and it's when he's about to say what if there's a ten what if there's ten car lengths? Right? But he says what if he got ten car lengths? He's nearly he nearly goes

to say carlinks before he says what if you've got ten car links? But they left it in. He just goes, what if you got ten car lengths? It comes across like a guy who's just flustered, but clearly he flubbed his line. You gotta take you gotta take advantage of happy accidents like yeah, adds a bit of realism of the scene. Then being wow, went stea Newman, then changes his tuner. He sold Newman, maybe you are right, mate, maybe are or maybe going in front first? Is

it does work? You know? Well, if there's ten carlts, then we get a beautiful woman. She compliments George on his hat and Newman just out of nowhere? Can I try it on? I'm like, fuck off Newman, Dick moved, Dick moved by the Dick Master knew, but I did love Wayne Knight's reaction when George forces the hat on his head. I was defending your party, all crying and all upset. Then the fight has started, but everyone's like, Oh, I want to go, but no

one's going. If he's going in, I'm not going. If there going, everyone's got a beef of somebody in this scene, Well he's going, I'm not going. I still don't have to go. Why why won't you go? If I go? Why, I'll tell you why? No? Don't cherry like you didn't call me up? Party fight? Real car? Right? Jerry? First of all, I think you completely misunderstood what I said. I meant it in a complimentary way. I mean, you know, when people say he's bad, it really means he's that sort of thing,

you know, a slam us, a set man. Now, Michael John is soul phony. Have you ever been in a moment where you've said something about somebody and they've found out about it? And you've tried to talk your way around it rather than just gone you're right mate, you got me. I said that you are you a person who will try and justify what you said? Or will you just go sorry? Mate? I wasn't thinking shop. I would probably be the latter. A probably, I'm sorry,

man. It's always better to just go sorry, mate. I don't know why I said. That's fucking shoot thing for me to say my bad. I can't. I can't deny. I can't deny it. I did it. I think if you do it that way, most guys will go all right, whatever, let's go get to be I've done that. But if you try and justify your lie just makes another person even angrier. Yeah, I mean Mike doing the whole. It's like when you know you say something's

bad, but it's really good. Man. That Michael Jordan, what a photo, man, Na, Michael Jordan is so phony putting on the exit. But the cops that arrived they have a debate about the parking situation as well. And Jerry, he's just arrived home. He's about to watch the fight and the fight is over eight nine ten thing ding. Larry David was the voiceover the boxing guy. Yes, so I read boxing announcer, I should say so. The episode finishes with some stand up talking about people killing

each other for a park in New York. As you're saying, it's like a musical chairs gaining us that we've everyone sat down in nineteen sixty four. It's true though they're making more and more cars, but they're not making more and more parking spaces. That's what it feels like in Gelong. You're adding jobs into the city, but Yank given us place as the fucking park.

In fact, you're taking away pass I mean very Geelong reference. But that's what we do here at the four, being a discain network, we're bringing Geelong to the world. You know, we should actually be sponsored by the City Groad Geelong because we doing more, doing more for tourism than just about anybody except Joel Selwod. We should have to pay our rates, that's for damn sure. That is one D and I we're talking about rates, but when we came on air really grabs my gears. Damn rates. I'm already

paying for my house. You want me to pay for a little jomp my hair? What? There's a there's a street in Gelong called Jerry Heavens Street used to have parks, you know, Yeah, the parks that you would just drive into, they'd be angular parks. Now they're coming from a good place. They're coming from a place of good intentions, like, oh, we're gonna put some bike lanes and we want to start you know, you want people to ride more rather than drive. You know, it's good,

good for the environment, for the planet. It's bad for Jerringham Streets, say because cut by mute, because you had good intentions. But now there's all these parallel parks. It's like a third or a quarter of the parks that used to be there. And this was a place where a lot of people used to park. It's ridiculous. I remember the first time because what they did people listening at home. Used to be a four lane street and they got rid of we're going on the direction that goes into the city.

They got rid of the left lane and just ended it and just created um parking right. Well, I remember the first time I was driving up I went I didn't realize that the parking at end because it's not really like signed off. It's just sort of like a little brick thing across behind the cars without the park and I'm waiting for these cars to go. I'm like, go go, munk my horn, and I realized these cars are parked. I'm like, what's happened here? What's going on here? So yeah,

that is for the for a bike lane, for a bike lane. Yeah, I'm like, I said, good intentions, but they're not really thought through. It's funny as at Louis the other don't she said? If you're seen this, um, it was on this thing on YouTube about ten minutes. It was a film mate. It was like a tourist thing about Geelong. Yeah. I saw the song posting that around. Yeah. Yeah.

First of all, it had like the Trey Parker voices the Welcome to July exactly, it's a city on the ground looking at out these new cars coming out of part and now we got you out. It's a comming out natural gas. But Luno looking at it, going shit, look at all that space. Remember when we had a space. Look at her. Every family has a car and every car has parking. Everyone has their own park. I was like in Lost, like we gotta go back. I saw I saw the first minute of it and I was like, I can't watch.

It's gonna make me too sad. Yeah, that's that's precisely. It's a bet. Now we watch the whole thing, but and bet halfway loose, you're gonna keep doing that? Voice said, you don't know, you bet? I am. What's my bringing it into the bad? Drop that right, buddy. Anyway, for those of you what we're doing for love anyone who wasn't aware, this is what we do on our South Park podcast from
