The Subway (S03E13)

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? Next question? All right, it is time for some trivia, some sign

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.
