Speaker 1: You can watch the original episode we'll be discussing in
Speaker 1: every other episode of HBO's Curby Your Enthusiasm, including the
Speaker 1: new and final season, on Max. You can also watch
Speaker 1: the video version of the history of Curby Your Enthusiasm
Speaker 1: podcast on Max and YouTube as well. Links available in
Speaker 1: the episode description. All Right, so, Jeff, here we are,
Speaker 1: and we ask today we have an extra extra extra
Speaker 1: special guest. And I can't believe it's taken three seasons
Speaker 1: of this for us.
Speaker 2: To get her on. But who's with us today? Sharl
Speaker 2: Hines Sharyl Hines.
Speaker 3: Who I always tell people about our show, and I've
Speaker 3: been on a lot of shows people care for each other,
Speaker 3: but there's I was probably the Church.
Speaker 2: Come, let's book it out. Let's not go there. We're
Speaker 2: not mentioned.
Speaker 4: It does bother me.
Speaker 3: But the point being is on our show, truly, there
Speaker 3: are so great love and affection with everyone.
Speaker 4: The crew too. But all of us have been together
Speaker 4: for a long time, long time.
Speaker 2: We've been together for so long.
Speaker 5: It's so funny to go back and watch these episodes.
Speaker 5: I know you were saying that, Susie and I I
Speaker 5: never I don't really watch.
Speaker 3: Well, we're watching every single every single one I.
Speaker 2: Want to tell Cheryl, and I told you this on set.
Speaker 1: I believe this past season when we shot season twelve,
Speaker 1: but rewatching you and Jeff and I have mentioned it
Speaker 1: through season one and two that we've been watching how
Speaker 1: amazing you were? You know, right, Jeff, and we go
Speaker 1: back and watch this episode and episode so fucking good.
Speaker 3: Well, there's some stuff in the in the last this episode,
Speaker 3: she's great, but in the last episode, I, yeah, you're
Speaker 3: just amazing.
Speaker 4: Are great, Cheryl?
Speaker 3: And by the way, we're kind of rediscovering how great
Speaker 3: you are.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 3: We always thought, yeah, she's great, but like watching it,
Speaker 3: we're going, wow, this show could not exist without you
Speaker 3: in terms of what you offer.
Speaker 4: Larry David's character could not exist.
Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, Jeff, there was a
Speaker 1: season season eight. I believe that Cheryl was not on
Speaker 1: after they got the divorce, and Larry brought her back
Speaker 1: because the show needed her.
Speaker 4: Well, by the way, completely right, this show needed her.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: He gets his mindset on something, Yeah, having nothing to
Speaker 3: do with Cheryl.
Speaker 4: But in terms of creative you know, the.
Speaker 2: Script stories, yeah, you.
Speaker 4: Can't do with them.
Speaker 1: I think I think it had to do with that
Speaker 1: he got divorced in real life.
Speaker 4: Well, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Therefore, he was going to get divorced on the show,
Speaker 1: but then he realized that Cheryl was not.
Speaker 3: And by the way, head which is in the future,
Speaker 3: is a stroke of Genie brilliant.
Speaker 5: It's so funny because then when you when you watch
Speaker 5: these old episodes and you see Ted, there have been
Speaker 5: little crumbs all along the way with Ted where he's.
Speaker 3: In the first season twice because in the restaurant season
Speaker 3: he's one of the investors.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, but while we have Cheryl before we get
Speaker 1: into the episode, I just want to get into Cheryl.
Speaker 1: What you remember about getting the part? Tell us about
Speaker 1: the whole history of that.
Speaker 2: Wo. Well, I just remember thousand or nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 5: I think it was nineteen ninety nine. U huh, I
Speaker 5: think I think yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 6: No, No, it might have been the end of ninety eight,
Speaker 6: beginning of ninety Yeah, because the show aired in ninety nine,
Speaker 6: so I'm guessing it was ninety eight.
Speaker 5: Just yeah, yeah, Well, you know I was I was
Speaker 5: performing at the Groundley Theater.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We had Lorraine Nuban as one of my founders of
Speaker 2: the rollings.
Speaker 5: That's true. That's true. So I was, I was. I
Speaker 5: was actually teaching. I think I was teaching and performing
Speaker 5: at the Growlings at the time, as well as doing
Speaker 5: assistant work and so on. This this is how I
Speaker 5: recall it, You know what I mean. I was supposed
Speaker 5: to have an audition for Curb, and by the way,
Speaker 5: it wasn't called Curb at the time. It was just
Speaker 5: like a Larry D.
Speaker 3: No, we had no title because we came when not
Speaker 3: we Mine was supers Distracting, which I mentioned because Larry
Speaker 3: Larry were ordering soup and deli food and Larry, we go, Larry,
Speaker 3: do you want souper? Because no, soup is distracting? And
Speaker 3: then he showed us why. And so when we all
Speaker 3: gave a name for what I wanted to call the show,
Speaker 3: super is distracting. And then he came in the next
Speaker 3: Herpy Enthusiasm, which clearly is much better than soup is distracted.
Speaker 5: I like soup is distracting. You can still you is
Speaker 5: it for something? But I but I was at that
Speaker 5: time in my career, I was doing little Tiny I'm
Speaker 5: not going to call them guest stars. I'll call him
Speaker 5: under fives five lines in under mostly and but you know,
Speaker 5: sort of making my way up the ladder getting auditions for.
Speaker 2: Did you have an agent? Did you have an agent?
Speaker 5: Had an agent?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: I had.
Speaker 2: So that's so that's how you got the audition?
Speaker 5: O get you tell me, Joe.
Speaker 3: She got the audition because Marla recommended her. That's why
Speaker 3: I recommend Marla included her in the casting.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 1: Carla is Marla Garland, who was really married to character
Speaker 1: and director.
Speaker 4: Worked with Alison Jones on lots of things.
Speaker 5: Anyhow, Marvel is amazing, by the way, Marlin is amazing.
Speaker 5: So it was Alison genius.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yes, without a doubt.
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna tell I'm sorry to intrude no, because
Speaker 3: I want to tell I think I talked about some
Speaker 3: when we did the first episode, because it was kind
Speaker 3: of remarkable. What I mean by that is we saw
Speaker 3: a lot of actresses, excellent actresses, actresses have gone on
Speaker 3: to be really famous. They were all good. There was
Speaker 3: not a bad one in the bunch. Cheryl came in
Speaker 3: and sat down and started doing the scenes with Larry.
Speaker 3: She was so contained and and like nothing phased her.
Speaker 3: And she also without tribe unflappable, which you would describe
Speaker 3: her character. She also in the audition was gave it
Speaker 3: to Larry without giving it to Larry, like she put
Speaker 3: him in his place. I don't know if there were
Speaker 3: even she even raised her voice.
Speaker 2: Yet she she just did it and then.
Speaker 3: Just said that's not going to work. And when she
Speaker 3: left the room, we all said done. There you go,
Speaker 3: that's it and it's true.
Speaker 2: And what do you remember, Cheryl.
Speaker 5: I remember, I didn't really know who Larry David was,
Speaker 5: you know. I knew that he had created Seinfeld and
Speaker 5: with Jerry and you know, and like I said, at
Speaker 5: that time, I was doing a lot of auditioning and
Speaker 5: all I remember Marla walking me down the hallway. I
Speaker 5: remember her saying, don't touch Larry. It's all going to
Speaker 5: be improvised. And I do not even know what I mean. Susie,
Speaker 5: you must have had this experience too, Like I had
Speaker 5: no idea what I'm even walking into. I don't know
Speaker 5: what the and by the way, it was a one
Speaker 5: hour special right at that time. Yes, yes, I didn't
Speaker 5: know anything. And she said, you know, you and Larry
Speaker 5: are married and you don't take his bullshit, and I
Speaker 5: was like, okay, And that was really all I got,
Speaker 5: and then I and then I walked in and I
Speaker 5: and I I remember shaking Larry's hand. I'm sure I shouldn't,
Speaker 5: I know, because he stuck his hand out first. I
Speaker 5: was like, oh, whoa, he thought his like you know,
Speaker 5: I thought he was going to be like ah, like
Speaker 5: a jerifob and.
Speaker 4: Right away.
Speaker 3: And and by the way back then and for the
Speaker 3: first first few seasons of the show, anyone who came
Speaker 3: to new audition was told not to touch him, and
Speaker 3: when they left the room. This is not even COVID
Speaker 3: times Larry would put the uh, you've seen the material
Speaker 3: material on his hands. He's gotten way better he does.
Speaker 3: I don't think he even does that anymore unless he's
Speaker 3: grossed out.
Speaker 4: But who knows who that was?
Speaker 5: You know, from experience of being in the room later
Speaker 5: watching people come in, Yes, I understand why somebody would
Speaker 5: say that, because in improv, since there's no script, it
Speaker 5: can go anywhere. And I remember somebody auditioning for a
Speaker 5: dentist or something, and the guy was about to go
Speaker 5: into Larry's mouth and Larry was like, uh, no, none, no,
Speaker 5: let's not do But I get it. It's you know,
Speaker 5: you have I don't know, twenty five people coming in.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I remember Larry saying, uh, all you need
Speaker 5: to know is I'm not eating chicken anymore. And we
Speaker 5: have a few kids. And I was like, okay, kids,
Speaker 5: you had kids, We had kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that was in the outward that was like
Speaker 3: that was a big thing on our kids' lives, like
Speaker 3: all that I swear remember where by the way, that
Speaker 3: was only the kids were only in there so he
Speaker 3: could say I swear on my children's lives. That was
Speaker 3: that was the only that they had children. There was
Speaker 3: no that's the ways mind works. There's no other reason.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and so yeah, so they said, okay, we'll
Speaker 5: just start talking and you know, doing the scene. So
Speaker 5: Larry and I started talking and then he said what's
Speaker 5: for dinner? And I you know, rattled off some things
Speaker 5: like beans and potatoes and chicken kagetory and he said,
Speaker 5: I just told you I'm not eating chicken. I said, yeah,
Speaker 5: you don't have to eat it. And he said, well,
Speaker 5: why would you make it if you know I'm not
Speaker 5: eating chicken. I said, well, the rest of us to
Speaker 5: eat chicken, but you don't have to eat it.
Speaker 1: But it's an interesting thing because that right, there is
Speaker 1: the dynamic of the unflappability, not like, Okay, we're not
Speaker 1: eating chicken.
Speaker 2: If you're not eating we're eating it. But you do
Speaker 2: whatever you want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the way, And by the way, that's the guyishness too,
Speaker 1: of not being with a Jewish woman who would.
Speaker 2: Be either, what are you man, You're not eating chicken.
Speaker 2: You're eating chicken.
Speaker 3: And by the way, we just had it with Richard
Speaker 3: Conning when we recorded and Cheryl said she made turkey,
Speaker 3: and Richard goes, nah, I had that for lunch, yes,
Speaker 3: and Cheryl, not thrown by it, goes all right, I'll
Speaker 3: see what we can you know, do and you're off.
Speaker 3: But that's the thing about her on the show. She's unflappable.
Speaker 4: She really is. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I think the decision, the instinct that you had
Speaker 1: to say, well, we're eating chicken anyway, you don't have
Speaker 1: to have it just very matter of fact.
Speaker 2: I think that's the key right there of Biamic.
Speaker 4: Right there, for sure, that was what you meant.
Speaker 2: That got you the job. Cheryl.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that mompballed on. Don't even think
Speaker 3: that it didn't. That was maybe a moment of surprise
Speaker 3: for us of like, oh, what's going on here? You know,
Speaker 3: raiser like, oh shit, let's go all right.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I think you would always hope
Speaker 1: when you're in Larry's position or whatever, that somebody has
Speaker 1: bringing something into the part that you never thought of.
Speaker 2: That's the beauty of having the.
Speaker 3: Last bonus stuff. JB did that when he came in
Speaker 3: for Leon. He did that too.
Speaker 4: Cheryl did that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I did an audition. Larry just me,
Speaker 2: did you not?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Now, he just called me up and gave me the part.
Speaker 3: He said to me, you know what about Susie Esmond?
Speaker 3: I saw her on the roast. It was a Jerry
Speaker 3: Stellar roast, right.
Speaker 2: Susie and I had three years.
Speaker 3: And then he said, how about Susie for your wife?
Speaker 3: I said, fuck you, let's go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
Speaker 3: was so excited.
Speaker 5: That is amazing. Yeah, that's so amazing.
Speaker 1: Because you know, at the time, I mean, it was
Speaker 1: just I didn't have a contract.
Speaker 2: It was a day for you know what it was
Speaker 2: like in the beginning, we were just.
Speaker 1: Like the show a little players. I got even are
Speaker 1: let's do a show.
Speaker 2: You know, we'll be right back, stay tuned and we're back.
Speaker 5: If I remember it correctly that David I auditioned. I
Speaker 5: did that scene and then I was walking to the
Speaker 5: elevator and then somebody came and said, can you do
Speaker 5: one more scene with Larry? And I said yes, and
Speaker 5: Larry said, I just I just want to talk to you.
Speaker 5: I don't think you put enough milk in the kid's
Speaker 5: cereal bowl and I said, and I said, I cover
Speaker 5: the flakes, and he said, just just fill it up
Speaker 5: to the top. I said, no, I'm just I just
Speaker 5: cover the flakes, like that's all you need. And he goes, well,
Speaker 5: we can afford it. Just fill it up to the top.
Speaker 5: And I said, it's a waste of filk. And that
Speaker 5: was basically the scene. And then I think I got
Speaker 5: called later that day and that I got the job.
Speaker 4: But we were in the room.
Speaker 3: We were very excited that we had found the perfect wife.
Speaker 4: Okay, and like.
Speaker 3: Guy said, other actresses had chosen to raise their voice
Speaker 3: at Larry and it turned into this loud argument.
Speaker 4: You were the one.
Speaker 3: Who hit him boom boom, just by being unflappable, just
Speaker 3: like this is the way I do it. You don't
Speaker 3: like it tough, and you nailed it. You nailed it.
Speaker 2: You nailed it, and the rest is her history, yes the.
Speaker 4: Rest, yes, yes, yes, yes, all.
Speaker 1: Right, here we are season three, episode nine, Mary, Joseph
Speaker 1: and Larry, which I believe is a classic.
Speaker 5: It is as a classic episode.
Speaker 1: There's some lines in this and we started to share
Speaker 1: what we do as we go through the whole episode.
Speaker 1: We start out that Larry is in the doctor's office
Speaker 1: played by Jack Gallagher.
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, stop being Larry's doctor. When we
Speaker 3: did the down the road the Neavardelos parking attendant thing,
Speaker 3: do we only do that we didn't know him? No,
Speaker 3: So Jack's like, why am I not? Because you and
Speaker 3: your wife treated Larry like crap? Why would he go
Speaker 3: back to you as a doctor. But here you see
Speaker 3: him so jolly and happy. He's terrific, and he's making
Speaker 3: fun of Larry going to the U two cuts.
Speaker 1: But first Larry is gagging. Yes, he has puba care
Speaker 1: stuck in his mouth. We're not going to even go
Speaker 1: we don't know how that happened.
Speaker 2: No way.
Speaker 3: By the way, I just want to say, and I'm
Speaker 3: not I don't want to imply Larry in this because
Speaker 3: it didn't come from Larry's personal experience.
Speaker 4: But it's a true story.
Speaker 1: Oh that's somebody true story. Yes, and that's why he's
Speaker 1: at the doctor, and the doctor then says, oh, I
Speaker 1: hear you went to the youtwo concert.
Speaker 2: Now we all know Larry is not the type to
Speaker 2: go to a UBB.
Speaker 3: But ald on the second here this is I was
Speaker 3: going to talk about this later because I have a
Speaker 3: scene where he's in my office and I laugh at
Speaker 3: him because he says he went to you too, because
Speaker 3: at that moment in time he was so unhip. Not
Speaker 3: that you two is necessarily so hip, but the hip enough, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're hip enough. But back then, no, the idea of
Speaker 3: him being in a U two concert or even a
Speaker 3: Paul Simon concert, which we have.
Speaker 1: Letter later is no, that we already did that. That's
Speaker 1: where we wrote with Mary and Mary's mother, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he knows Paul Simon from the seventies whatever,
Speaker 3: but even then him in a concert period, let alone
Speaker 3: you Too. But what's amazing is, and this has been
Speaker 3: along the last two or three years of the show,
Speaker 3: is that he starts singing all day long, different songs,
Speaker 3: including you two, songs that you know, have no idea
Speaker 3: how he knows them exactly.
Speaker 2: He does He also sings a lot of show tunes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but those are the ones, you know, those are
Speaker 3: the ones you sing with him, You and Adam sing
Speaker 3: those wood men how I had him no show tunes,
Speaker 3: But nonetheless, yeah, he'll sing songs that you just go
Speaker 3: I would say to them, how do you know that?
Speaker 4: You know? In the future.
Speaker 3: Episode, maybe the next episode, I'm going to look on
Speaker 3: that playlist that they made of all the songs on Spilifi,
Speaker 3: and I will mention because I you know what, I'll
Speaker 3: live and look at a text I sent Larry of
Speaker 3: the songs.
Speaker 4: Where I go, How where?
Speaker 3: When?
Speaker 4: How could you possibly know this song?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 4: But yeah, so back then that was really funny.
Speaker 2: And and so the doctor says, I hear you went
Speaker 2: to a U concert.
Speaker 1: Larry wants to how do you know he's The doctor's
Speaker 1: secretary called Larry's house, and Larry's housekeeper told the secretary
Speaker 1: he went to a YouTube concert. Larry doesn't like the
Speaker 1: idea of people knowing where he is, and he starts.
Speaker 1: Then they go into this something stuck in my throat
Speaker 1: the pupa care and the doctor can either extract it,
Speaker 1: which would be painful, or just wait a few days
Speaker 1: and it'll flush itself out. It's far back, it's wrapped
Speaker 1: itself all around his youth.
Speaker 2: You love whatever it is.
Speaker 4: It's just so insane.
Speaker 1: And then that's done, and he comes home and there's
Speaker 1: Cheryl and she says, how is the doctor's appointment, and
Speaker 1: that they have to go get a tree before your
Speaker 1: parents get there.
Speaker 5: It's Christmas, Christmas, tree out.
Speaker 2: And Larry doesn't want a tree. It's Christmas.
Speaker 4: It's too weird.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: Come on, that is just too weird.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 5: You're gonna like it.
Speaker 2: You to have the tree in the house.
Speaker 3: It's bad luck.
Speaker 4: You know, my guy might not They think I'm switching
Speaker 4: or something.
Speaker 5: You know, you might not understand fine with it.
Speaker 1: So what I found unusual about this is that you
Speaker 1: being gentile.
Speaker 2: This is the first time you ever got a tree,
Speaker 2: is implied.
Speaker 5: I know, it's funny. I was thinking that too. I
Speaker 5: was thinking, oh, maybe we usually go to their house
Speaker 5: or something.
Speaker 3: We just by the way, I would guess that. And
Speaker 3: but by the way, Marla, she's half and half and
Speaker 3: she always wanted a tree. And I said, no, I've
Speaker 3: never had a tree. And then it occurred to me
Speaker 3: years later, after we split, I go to the house
Speaker 3: and she's got a tree. She didn't wait a minute,
Speaker 3: She's got a tree, the lights, the whole thing. I go,
Speaker 3: oh God, I've always loved Christmas trees. And then it
Speaker 3: occurred to me, I'm not religious. What was I thinking saying? No,
Speaker 3: I love Christmas lights. I love the trees well.
Speaker 2: The time of year and it's the Honika festival of lights.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't put up lights for the festival of lights.
Speaker 4: I don't get that.
Speaker 2: We just like them.
Speaker 4: I wish we did.
Speaker 3: We'd put up blue and white ones and people would
Speaker 3: drive by and go, Jew's mezuza hanging up.
Speaker 1: We have a tree because my husband is not Jewish,
Speaker 1: but I make sure to like.
Speaker 2: I don't like a five point star on the top.
Speaker 1: I have a dog on top of my tree, a
Speaker 1: dog in a sled on top of my tree.
Speaker 2: I can't want anything religious. I want the tree religious.
Speaker 4: So you have a tree. You've always since Jimmy.
Speaker 1: Had a tree, Yes, since Jimmy, not before Jimmy. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we always Christmas with kids.
Speaker 4: This is why you're so much smarter than I am.
Speaker 3: I will acknowledge that any day of the week, your instincts,
Speaker 3: everything about you.
Speaker 4: I love you. No, it's true.
Speaker 3: I love you so much, Susie. And who do I
Speaker 3: turn to whenever I need advice?
Speaker 1: You can I turn to Susie s Man. All right,
Speaker 1: I love you too, Jeff and Cheryl. This is a
Speaker 1: big love fest.
Speaker 2: Larry doesn't want to treat. He says, for Jews, it's
Speaker 2: bad luck, which is ridiculous. And then talking about tipping.
Speaker 2: You got it.
Speaker 1: He's going to leave you and go tip everybody and
Speaker 1: go tip at.
Speaker 2: The Entry Club. And he comes upon Dora the housekeeper.
Speaker 1: He sees Dora dusting and he's like, please don't tell
Speaker 1: people where I am.
Speaker 2: Just say I'm not home.
Speaker 1: And it's very awkward with Dora, and Larry tips her,
Speaker 1: and then he tips Carlos the gardener. You see how
Speaker 1: awkward he is with these people, very good gardening. He
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to behave And he says to Carlos,
Speaker 1: and this is old Larry from way back in the eighties,
Speaker 1: from his act at least gracious.
Speaker 4: Instead it is moving, very kind. You know what, you
Speaker 4: can use the two form with me. Two stead's a
Speaker 4: little formal for us. Why don't we use the two
Speaker 4: Formsh's heavy?
Speaker 2: That okay?
Speaker 7: Oh, see informal too, see between us.
Speaker 4: We don't need instead too at too.
Speaker 1: I feel we could use the two form with each
Speaker 1: other instead of his said that is, I feel we
Speaker 1: know each other, and that was an old bit for
Speaker 1: his act.
Speaker 4: I might not funny.
Speaker 3: I might also add here Larry David is so comfortable
Speaker 3: with all kinds of people and knows how to talk
Speaker 3: to people, any kind of people. People confuse the two
Speaker 3: and we wonder what's real, what's not. Larry is comfortable
Speaker 3: talking to any kind of person.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he treats everybody the same.
Speaker 4: Yes he does.
Speaker 5: He does with himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, okay, not on the show, no show,
Speaker 1: But I feel it's.
Speaker 4: Important to let people know that.
Speaker 1: So then we cut to the after the Ustad and
Speaker 1: the two and he tips Carlos, and then they're in
Speaker 1: Jeff's office and Jeff says, I heard you went to
Speaker 1: YouTube last night, and you have a whole riff with
Speaker 1: him about it.
Speaker 3: But by the way, now my laughing thing is real.
Speaker 3: My laughing is real because the absurdity of him going
Speaker 3: to a You two concert, and I know as we
Speaker 3: sit there, he's done no research. He knows nothing about
Speaker 3: you too, nothing. He probably learned the bono thing, but
Speaker 3: then he spelled it for purpose of the scene.
Speaker 4: But he knows nothing. He couldn't. I mean, he sang
Speaker 4: later on you two songs, and I'm like, how do
Speaker 4: you know those? You know?
Speaker 1: But as we know this probably on show life, this
Speaker 1: probably scenario probably happened in real life where the housekeeper
Speaker 1: told somebody.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about me, laughing at him.
Speaker 1: Having gone to yes, then you guys have that whole riff,
Speaker 1: and he tells you about the Christmas tree, and then
Speaker 1: you two go off on the Jews with trees and
Speaker 1: why do we holiday hold on?
Speaker 4: Why do we need to horn out there? But then
Speaker 4: the thing that really made us furious two Jews who
Speaker 4: get a tree. It's a little unsettling, nothing worse than
Speaker 4: Jews with trees. At least your wife not Jewish. My
Speaker 4: wife's not Jewish.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but those couples to Jews getting trees, they can't
Speaker 3: let them have their holiday.
Speaker 5: We have to hold in on their holiday.
Speaker 3: We have to get in on it, you know. And
Speaker 3: Larry's answer is, can't we Jews a couple having a tree?
Speaker 3: He goes, can't we just leave them alone with their holiday?
Speaker 3: Why do we have to get in on it. I
Speaker 3: thought that was hilarious.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, stay tuned. Okay, we're back.
Speaker 1: And then the phone call. Susie's on her way up
Speaker 1: and we see you too. Get scrambling because Jeff told
Speaker 1: Susie that, oh, there was something on the phone bill
Speaker 1: about Jeff had a phone call when Susie was out
Speaker 1: of town at two o'clock in the morning, and it
Speaker 1: was a platonic friend. But ten o'clock is the cutoff
Speaker 1: for a platonic friend. Jeff told Susie that Cheryl and
Speaker 1: Larry had a fight and Larry slept over and Larry
Speaker 1: was speaking to the housekeeper at two am.
Speaker 2: You make everything so much worse, Jae.
Speaker 4: Okay, I do.
Speaker 3: But I believe, if I'm not mistaken, there's another one
Speaker 3: later on that I believe. I believe this is the
Speaker 3: first lie Larry and I have come up with in
Speaker 3: terms of in terms of you, Susie. I believe it's
Speaker 3: the first lie. Now we've done it together. We've lied
Speaker 3: to you about the dolls head and different things. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I think this is the first out and out
Speaker 3: lie that we prepped based on my it's not a
Speaker 3: platonic friend.
Speaker 4: It's some some woman that I know that I'm probably
Speaker 4: having sex with.
Speaker 3: Uh Anyhow, I think this is the first I could
Speaker 3: be wrong. I probably am wrong, but nonetheless, this is
Speaker 3: my option.
Speaker 2: You know, it's all. It's all a blur to me.
Speaker 5: All I know all the seasons and the episodes, imaginations
Speaker 5: and the lies.
Speaker 2: These two.
Speaker 4: I think this is the first time.
Speaker 1: Okay, it could sweet, it could be. And then so
Speaker 1: I come up and I confront who are you calling it?
Speaker 2: Two ways?
Speaker 4: Wait?
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait, I have another one. This is the
Speaker 3: first time that there's levels to your and Larry's relationship.
Speaker 3: You kiss him llow, You're very friendly until and then
Speaker 3: you change your tone and you leave.
Speaker 4: So I think this is the first time.
Speaker 2: You're lying. I say to both of you.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no no, it's not that. It's
Speaker 3: when you come in and test Larry. It's the first
Speaker 3: time and we see nuance, and also that there's maybe
Speaker 3: more to the to your relationship with Larry.
Speaker 4: All right, first time, right, okay?
Speaker 1: And then I accuse you both of lying. One of
Speaker 1: you is lying. You're lying, you're lying, but but but
Speaker 1: I don't know which one. I leave, and then you guys,
Speaker 1: are going to go to the club to do some tipping,
Speaker 1: even talk about you.
Speaker 4: We just go, all right, let's go to the clubs A.
Speaker 2: Fact of life, Jeff, I'm a fact of life.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So you go to the club, do do do and
Speaker 1: and tipping tipping, a whole tipping montage.
Speaker 2: And then Larry thinks he tipped one guy twice.
Speaker 4: And and and it's just like I wrote it down.
Speaker 4: The tip.
Speaker 3: Larry, one of the key things and of the character.
Speaker 3: Never lets anything go, never let it go. So you
Speaker 3: tip the guy twice, You're rich, You're richest can be.
Speaker 4: Why I know.
Speaker 1: By the way, yeah, right, the guys making minimum way Jesus,
Speaker 1: ways let him have two teeps. What's the worst that
Speaker 1: could happen? And by the way, yeah, it's the principle.
Speaker 1: It's always the principal, by the.
Speaker 3: Way, real life. Larry David crazy generous, Yeah, just saying crazy.
Speaker 1: And the waiter denies that he was tipped twice. And
Speaker 1: then he says to me. They said to him, so you're.
Speaker 4: Saying I only tipped you once?
Speaker 7: Yes, Do you want your first tip back?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 6: Okay, I'd like my second tip back.
Speaker 4: There was no second tip.
Speaker 2: I'd like my second tiptown, which is so delightful, and
Speaker 2: then they have a stairdown.
Speaker 4: Okay, now I believe again that's the first stare down
Speaker 4: that we've had.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, I don't think so. Jeff seem to remember
Speaker 1: there was, but I could be wrong.
Speaker 3: No, because you know why, I think because I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: But as I watched the episode, there's three staredowns.
Speaker 4: We would never do that. Yeah, So I.
Speaker 3: Think he was establishing and then he thought, oh that's
Speaker 3: good and kept doing it. I think this is the
Speaker 3: first steer down.
Speaker 1: Just think there are listeners who are such aficionados that.
Speaker 4: They'll know wearing my name, Jeff Garland, you should know better.
Speaker 5: You don't know anything about this show.
Speaker 2: And then after that, no, we're just in it.
Speaker 1: And then after the staredown home to Cheryl and your
Speaker 1: parents are decorating the tree.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm up at this one right in here. Larry Hie,
Speaker 5: Mary Career, what do you think you like it?
Speaker 4: And a big isn't it? Yeah? It's a big one. Yeah,
Speaker 4: grab a ball.
Speaker 1: What do you remember about your parents, Cheryl? I mean
Speaker 1: there was Paul Dooley and Julie. There was Julie Payne. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were just so funny.
Speaker 5: They they knew exactly what bothered Larry, you know, and
Speaker 5: just their mere existence, just them being so joyful and
Speaker 5: gleeful and putting the the ornaments on the tree. They
Speaker 5: knew as performers how how to do it much that
Speaker 5: would bother Larry for him to walk in and see that.
Speaker 1: A second city guy, right, I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: know what her.
Speaker 3: I think it's an improv I'm pretty sure, but it's
Speaker 3: just terrific. But what I want to say about Paul
Speaker 3: Dooley was Paul Dooley also knew the exact moment to
Speaker 3: be upset with Larry to give Larry the evil eye.
Speaker 3: He knew exactly when, exactly because he never did it.
Speaker 3: Like later on this episode when he's leaving after Larry's
Speaker 3: choking and he's heard Larry choke numerous times, he goes,
Speaker 3: you ought to see somebody about that. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 3: the perfect moment, like that's he was just and there's
Speaker 3: a part in this thing I want to see where
Speaker 3: you go now, Susy And then all.
Speaker 1: Okay, see, so they start it's a huge tree. Larry's
Speaker 1: like it's a big one. He's like a nonplus that
Speaker 1: it's such the biggest thing I've ever seen. And then
Speaker 1: your mother says, what did you get, Cheryl, And Larry says,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of giving home my grandfather's Talis which.
Speaker 4: And then Paul says, it's like a.
Speaker 1: Jewish scheller audience. What Talis says? They don't even know
Speaker 1: some of these people. Talis is a it's like a
Speaker 1: Jewish men wrap it around themselves when they're dobbining and praying.
Speaker 2: Well, why, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know either.
Speaker 3: Here's what I want to say about that line, was
Speaker 3: that came out in a one for fun. That came
Speaker 3: out like one for fun, which is probably a term
Speaker 3: other shows use, but on curb it means not only
Speaker 3: are you improvising, but go any direction you want, say
Speaker 3: anything you want, you know, stick to the story, but
Speaker 3: do whatever you want.
Speaker 4: He came up with it at the.
Speaker 3: End and the last take, and I came up to
Speaker 3: him and I said the thing I always say to him.
Speaker 3: If you don't do not use that, I will wrestle you.
Speaker 3: I will wrestle you hard to the ground. Because that
Speaker 3: was perfection. And that's one of the hardest laughs I
Speaker 3: ever had on the shows.
Speaker 2: Again and he says it's a grape stem.
Speaker 1: And then he goes into the kitchen and Cheryl and
Speaker 1: Becky you're baking, baking Christmas cookies, and Cheryl says to Larry,
Speaker 1: you know, Dora is upset you never wear the scarf
Speaker 1: she gave you.
Speaker 2: It's a red, itchy scarf. And Dora brought it up and.
Speaker 1: Brought up that Larry yelled at her for telling people
Speaker 1: where he goes, and he tipped Carlos twice as much
Speaker 1: as he tipped Dora. So Sheryl then suggests take Dora
Speaker 1: to lunch at the club, which is odd.
Speaker 2: But by the way, what I.
Speaker 3: Found it terribly odd, And the only the only purpose
Speaker 3: movie for him to do that is for uh we
Speaker 3: come in is you and her having a conversation behind
Speaker 3: Larry and I.
Speaker 4: That's the only purpose. There is no other purpose.
Speaker 1: But it's a very funny scene because well, first he
Speaker 1: confronts Carlos about the Christmas bonus and they have a
Speaker 1: stare down right, this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Second, ser not normal, so you know.
Speaker 1: And then he's at lunch with Dora at the club
Speaker 1: and there's awkward, awkward, awkward about you know, you're terrific
Speaker 1: with the soy milk. You replenish the soy milk, and
Speaker 1: you anticipate, and you're a great folder toilet paper.
Speaker 4: I've never seen cardboard. I mean, it's just so often.
Speaker 1: And then you see it just trying to come up
Speaker 1: with stuff, you know, and the sponge replacement not so hot.
Speaker 2: He has a little bit of a criticism.
Speaker 1: And uh, then the the the waiter that he accused
Speaker 1: of taking two tips come over finished.
Speaker 7: No, no okay, senorita, no gracias, no gla receival.
Speaker 4: See what was what was that all about.
Speaker 2: Christmas?
Speaker 1: M m hmm. I don't know what they saying because
Speaker 1: I don't speak Spanish. Hold on though, you know, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's so obvious.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they were saying something like, uh, he's
Speaker 5: a he doesn't pay me much, he doesn't pay me much.
Speaker 2: Something like that.
Speaker 5: I was watching to somebody who who spokes to me
Speaker 5: to go ahead?
Speaker 2: Oh good, oh good?
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you know?
Speaker 1: And then and then the Greens show up, Jeff and
Speaker 1: Susie and Sammy and sam and I see that he's
Speaker 1: with Dora, and I'm like, all right, I made a mistake.
Speaker 1: Maybe you did call Dora in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: which I don't.
Speaker 2: That's a little touch of a little.
Speaker 5: You guys are friends, all right, I get it. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: just the.
Speaker 3: Way, it made complete sense to me that that that would.
Speaker 3: I love your makeups with Larry where you don't know
Speaker 3: that it's bullshit, like the ones where you really believe
Speaker 3: it kill me.
Speaker 4: And he, of course is mister magnanimous and that well,
Speaker 4: and you.
Speaker 1: You insulted me, You insulted my friend. You know, you
Speaker 1: get into a whole fucking thing. Yes, And then and
Speaker 1: then the you guys go off, and I say to Dora,
Speaker 1: you seem cyclic, such a lovely woman.
Speaker 2: I don't know why Cheryl doesn't like you.
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm always getting the short end of the stick
Speaker 5: with you people.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 1: You and you and Jeff and Larry go into this
Speaker 1: is the greatest coincidence that we happened to walk into
Speaker 1: the club and blah blah blah blah blah, fix the
Speaker 1: whole lie, blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, stay tuned.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're back. And then Larry goes home and they're caroling.
Speaker 1: You're all carol well, you're not there. You're you're in
Speaker 1: the in the other room, and Becky and and your
Speaker 1: parents are caroling, Oh, come all ye faithful in all songs,
Speaker 1: and LD's gagging, and Cheryl asks to speak to Larry privately,
Speaker 1: and you tell him that Dora quit over what I
Speaker 1: Susie Green told her that Cheryl doesn't like her, and
Speaker 1: then you.
Speaker 2: The gig is up. The jig is up. It's the
Speaker 2: jig is up?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: What's the phrase? I think? Yeah, the ging is up.
Speaker 1: Because you spoke to Susie and told her that it's
Speaker 1: bullshit about Dora. He never left the house and was
Speaker 1: calling Dora at two am in the morning.
Speaker 2: So that's all done.
Speaker 5: And then while the parents are singing, they're all out
Speaker 5: there singing, singing, and Larry's eating cookies in milk.
Speaker 3: But I want to say something that he says earlier,
Speaker 3: which is another quality of this character. I didn't realize
Speaker 3: when we said leave well enough alone. It's also I
Speaker 3: always refer to it as the cost of doing business.
Speaker 3: In other words, you want to stay in a room
Speaker 3: in a hotel, the cost is you leave money in
Speaker 3: the hotel. Whatever it is you want to do it
Speaker 3: in life, it's like, these are your wife's parents. This
Speaker 3: is your wife's parents. It's Christmas time. It's not going
Speaker 3: to happen tomorrow. It's only happening. Yeah, but so let
Speaker 3: it go.
Speaker 5: Just call with it.
Speaker 3: It's called the cost of doing business. You got a wife,
Speaker 3: she's got parents. They're caroling. Cost of doing business. You
Speaker 3: have to hold your tongue. He doesn't hold his tongue.
Speaker 1: No, I love caroling, by the way, you ever care,
Speaker 1: I give it care carol every ear. Yes, I'm always
Speaker 1: QUI into people's houses for caroling, and I go and
Speaker 1: I enjoy it.
Speaker 4: Okay, Now are they caroling? Show tunes?
Speaker 2: No? They caroling?
Speaker 4: Okay, No, I know that.
Speaker 3: By the way, not only have I never caroled, I
Speaker 3: don't recall carollers ever coming to my house or being
Speaker 3: in the.
Speaker 2: Neighbor You lived in a Jewish neighborhood.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't, especially in Florida. No, I'm just saying
Speaker 3: I've never been around caroling, except in this episode, which.
Speaker 5: Did a delight, right, Cheryl, Yes, it is a delight.
Speaker 1: So next morning, Larry's asleep and we hear Cheryl calling
Speaker 1: from the bottom of the steps.
Speaker 8: Larry, Larry, what what happened.
Speaker 2: To the cookies? What the cookie?
Speaker 4: The cookies from from last night?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I ate them?
Speaker 2: You ate them?
Speaker 3: They were from the major scene there. You ate the
Speaker 3: baby Jesus and his mother Mary.
Speaker 2: I thought they were animal cookies.
Speaker 4: Jesus Christ is not her animal, all right. I thought
Speaker 4: he was a monkey.
Speaker 5: The Son of God was alone.
Speaker 2: We worked all day.
Speaker 5: On those cookies. I'm sorry you didn't see the Hey,
Speaker 5: the toasted coconut was hey the barn.
Speaker 4: I thought that that was all part of the zoo.
Speaker 2: What aren't we going to do on Christmas Day?
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, you know what.
Speaker 2: I'll make it up too.
Speaker 8: You don't make it up.
Speaker 5: To us, Larry, Okay, you just swallowed our Lord and Savior.
Speaker 9: I'll make it up.
Speaker 4: I'll go get another major.
Speaker 2: Scene where nothing's open. It's Christmas now.
Speaker 1: This scene is just one of the golden scenes.
Speaker 4: Of all time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know they were for the manger scene. And
Speaker 1: Becky says, you ate the baby Jesus and mother Mary?
Speaker 1: Who came up with that line?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 5: Can I tell you something? You know this? This this
Speaker 5: episode was based on when I went home to Florida
Speaker 5: and I was with my family and they did make
Speaker 5: a Nativity scene out of cookies with the toasted coconut
Speaker 5: or hay, and everybody was walking around saying, nobody eat
Speaker 5: baby Jesus. And I called Larry and I said, you
Speaker 5: would die if you were here. And I told him
Speaker 5: was going on and I said, and of course you
Speaker 5: would eat baby Jesus and my family would go crazy.
Speaker 5: And he said that's crazy.
Speaker 2: What else is going on there? So?
Speaker 5: Uh and then I'll tell you, you know, as we
Speaker 5: get to it, what else I told him? But yeah,
Speaker 5: so he so. So I had said nobody you would
Speaker 5: eat baby Jesus and then so would we ask him
Speaker 5: about eating the cookies?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: He threw in Mary too, He ate baby Jesus and Mary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Larry, yes, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if she thought it was a monkey, that is
Speaker 1: just so hilarious stupid.
Speaker 2: He thought it was a monkey. I thought, love hilarious.
Speaker 1: I thought they were animal cookies like animal crackers and
Speaker 1: your soup.
Speaker 2: And then Becky's Jesus Christ is not an animal. Becky's
Speaker 2: hilarious in this episode.
Speaker 4: Calsen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was like, didn't you see the toasted
Speaker 1: coconut as the hey and Cheryl, we just see what
Speaker 1: she has to put up, and Becky says, you just
Speaker 1: swallowed our Lord and savior. I mean, it's just so bizarre.
Speaker 1: And people repeat these lines to me all the time.
Speaker 1: People remember these lines. And Larry says, I'll make it
Speaker 1: up to you. And again he's pissed you off, He's
Speaker 1: pissed the whole family up.
Speaker 4: And that's when Paul Dooley, as he has the thing
Speaker 4: in his throat as he's again, you ought to see
Speaker 4: somebody about that.
Speaker 2: Get that looked at.
Speaker 1: And then Larry's driving around in this scene I remember
Speaker 1: quite well, and he sees Susie throwing Jeff's close out
Speaker 1: the window. You line, piece of shit, and wait till
Speaker 1: I get my hands on that Larry David, that four
Speaker 1: eyed fuck, you lie and piece.
Speaker 2: Of ship out of my house, of my house, Oh
Speaker 2: you lie.
Speaker 6: And when'll I.
Speaker 2: Get my hands with that goddamn.
Speaker 1: Larry David, the four eyed fuck, I'll kill him now.
Speaker 1: What I remember about this scene is that, you know,
Speaker 1: Jenn and I have had many, many, many houses through
Speaker 1: the years. Yeah, that particular house. We got kicked out
Speaker 1: of that house because the neighbors complained about me cursing out,
Speaker 1: yelling and screaming and cursing.
Speaker 4: I don't remember that, but that makes sense.
Speaker 7: It does.
Speaker 5: Imagine having like a four year old and a seven
Speaker 5: year old.
Speaker 4: They're like David Well, by the way, that scene was
Speaker 4: so much fun to filmyeah for you, and.
Speaker 2: It was throwing the close out the window.
Speaker 4: And scream I'm going in circles. I have no idea.
Speaker 3: It's hilarious because there is no defeating Susie Green.
Speaker 4: There is. You're just in the ship that Jeff Well.
Speaker 1: Larry Yeah, And then so he Larry leaves after he
Speaker 1: hears we say, wait, don't I get my hands with that,
Speaker 1: Larry David that four I'd fuck I'll kill him. And
Speaker 1: Larry goes up straight and he comes upon in front
Speaker 1: of the church a real life Nativity scene going on,
Speaker 1: and he wants to rent the scene. He wants to
Speaker 1: rent the manger and that's the straw and the hay
Speaker 1: and the whole.
Speaker 2: Thing, and why don't I have here? I hate the
Speaker 2: Nativity scene? Did he say that?
Speaker 9: And he says, can you come to my house for
Speaker 9: a few hours when I was in Florida? And after
Speaker 9: I told him about the Nativity see the cookies, and
Speaker 9: he said, what else is.
Speaker 5: Going on down there and I said, well, you know,
Speaker 5: there are live Nativity scenes here and he said, I
Speaker 5: don't know what you're talking about. So people dress up
Speaker 5: like Mary and Joseph and they have a little baby
Speaker 5: and they stand in front of, you know, a house
Speaker 5: or a church. And he said, are you kidding me?
Speaker 5: I've never heard of this. And so I told him
Speaker 5: all of that, and so from that, Shill is the
Speaker 5: impetus for all of this. Yeah, this is this episode,
Speaker 5: because this episode was really like based on and.
Speaker 3: By the way, I didn't know this, Oh you did.
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised, but I didn't know this. And by
Speaker 3: the way, giving Larry ideas is and stuff like that
Speaker 3: has to be. You're just happen to be telling him
Speaker 3: a story. You can't pitch him the idea, yeah.
Speaker 2: That it's a show idea. You just tell him stuff.
Speaker 5: Told him this is a this is really funny the
Speaker 5: stuff that's happening here. And if you were here, it
Speaker 5: would be a ship show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically it would be.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were married to Larry and he
Speaker 1: was like Tallahassee for Christmas, it would be very similar
Speaker 1: to this.
Speaker 2: Yeah erect yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So he hires them with a donate, with a
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars donation to the church to come to
Speaker 1: the house and set up and a meal and also
Speaker 1: a meal and it'll get takeout.
Speaker 2: And Larry's kind of ogling Mary, you know which the way.
Speaker 3: By the way, is so strange, not only on the show,
Speaker 3: but who Larry really is. And I don't remember him
Speaker 3: ever uhling anybody on the show.
Speaker 2: But it worked for for the What's Not Happened? But
Speaker 2: I agree with you about that.
Speaker 1: He's not an No, he's not a creepy He's not
Speaker 1: a creepy guy. And then then they're back calm, and
Speaker 1: Larry's gagging away, just gag, gag gag, and.
Speaker 2: Joseph and all of that, and Mary and all of
Speaker 2: them and.
Speaker 1: The shepherds, and Larry's like hello to the shepherds, and
Speaker 1: hello Mary, and love Joseph.
Speaker 2: And they're setting up the whole thing, you know, Larry
Speaker 2: webs Hi Mary, Hi Mary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, look and look at the little baby. Yes
Speaker 4: we all Jesus.
Speaker 5: All right, you got little Jesus and the whole trip.
Speaker 4: All right, very good.
Speaker 2: We'll shut right up up and let me know if
Speaker 2: you need anything. Very good, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's sitting in the back smoking a cigar,
Speaker 1: which I've never seen.
Speaker 5: I know that was interesting to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: As they set up the major scene, then he asks
Speaker 1: about the food. You want Deli, you want Chinese? You
Speaker 1: want you know, you'll take both, He'll take both, the
Speaker 1: orange chicken.
Speaker 2: And he continues to gag, and he tells Joseph.
Speaker 1: He feels the need to tell Joseph that he's gagging
Speaker 1: because he has a pubic care stuck in his throat.
Speaker 2: We see Joseph is a bit taking am back.
Speaker 1: And then he sees Mary is up there putting together
Speaker 1: the major and she's reaching up and he's like admiring
Speaker 1: her breast and he says something like Mary's got quite
Speaker 1: the bod, you know, and yeah, Joey, between you.
Speaker 2: And me, yeah, you and Mary? Yeah anything, And then
Speaker 2: a fight ensues.
Speaker 1: A physical fight ensues, which I love when when he
Speaker 1: gets into physical fights, it's the most fun.
Speaker 2: And then lo and behold.
Speaker 1: Because he's having this physical fight, coughs up the pubic care.
Speaker 3: And down by the way he's like wait, hold on,
Speaker 3: and everyone stopped.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 5: I did like that moment too, where he was like
Speaker 5: hey and he's touching his throat and everybody does stop.
Speaker 5: It was so Buddy was like, I'm gonna try that
Speaker 5: in my next bite. Yes, it's just like, hey, hey,
Speaker 5: stop for a second.
Speaker 2: Look at this.
Speaker 1: You know what, I think that it's disarming. I guess
Speaker 1: I catches people off guard. And we cut to Cheryl
Speaker 1: and Becky and mom and dad all standing there watching
Speaker 1: this fiasco.
Speaker 2: Oh, wo puba care. It's out.
Speaker 1: Watching him cough up the pubic care and this entire
Speaker 1: fiasco of the manger and fighting with Joseph, and yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, that's it. It's a great episode. And Cheryl,
Speaker 1: we learned something new today, right, Jeff? What's that that
Speaker 1: Cheryl was the impetus for this whole Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: you ain't.
Speaker 2: The baby Jesus.
Speaker 4: No idea, No, yeah, no idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, Cheryl, did you enjoy your time with us?
Speaker 2: I really did.
Speaker 5: I really did, And I appreciate that. Uh, you know,
Speaker 5: you guys, maybe go back and watch these two episodes.
Speaker 4: Hold time. We'll walk out one every episode and many
Speaker 4: more to do.
Speaker 3: And to me, I've not seen these since either the
Speaker 3: cut that I saw that I was said, or watching
Speaker 3: it on HBO I've not repeated watched any episode.

Speaker 1: probably around two thousand and three, so twenty.
Speaker 5: Years of twenty years ago, it is did you find
Speaker 5: it easy to watch?
Speaker 2: Cheryl?
Speaker 1: All I do is notice how fucking skinny I was.
Speaker 1: I was so skinny. I was a whale and I'm
Speaker 1: just by the way, and at the time, I didn't
Speaker 1: think I was so skinny.
Speaker 2: That's the body DYSMORPHI yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Know, if I may, Cheryl, yes, he may. You looked
Speaker 3: as beautiful as you did then, and you were Susie
