Speaker 3: Hi, I'm Jeff Garland.

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: I'm Susie Asman.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: We are now going to do season one, Episode one,

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: which is the first time the theme song was played.

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: Was played?

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 3: Yes, it was not played in the hour pilot.

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: And it was missed.

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: You hear that done and you immediately get into the head.

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 3: I have to tell you myself, I was in love

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: with it from the second I heard it.

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: So, you know, maybe we could just quickly tell the

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: story of how Larry found it.

20
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: Yes, a few years prior to this, he heard it.

21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: It was like a it's called Frolic written by an

22
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Italian composer, and he heard it.

23
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: It was on some bank commercial.

24
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: Yes, and he said to Laura, who was his assistant

25
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: at the time currently r EP find me that song,

26
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: and she did. She tracked it down and then he

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: chose to use it. And this is prior to even

28
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: thinking about it.

29
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: Well, no, No, the Internet existed at this time, but

30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 3: it was not what it is now, So there's still

31
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: quite a bit of work in finding something like that.

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: Really a bank commercial in the song Frolic. Now, you

33
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: put those two things in a search in a Google

34
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: and it probably comes up. Might not like if you

35
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: put in Pirates of the Caribbean and lotion, what would

36
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: come up?

37
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: Copper tone?

38
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: By the way, you're close.

39
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: So this first episode is called The Pants Ten.

40
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Yes, what I noticed is there is some interstitial music,

41
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: but not as much as there came to me.

42
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: And only one of them do we continue to use.

43
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: It's the one that.

44
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: You do yea, which is my favorite one. And this

45
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: is two thousand that we shot this, I believe. I

46
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: believe it was the winter two thousands. And it's called

47
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: the Pants Tent. And you know, right up front, this

48
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: is such a typical Larry the pants tent. You know,

49
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: that's such a typical thing that he would notice. And

50
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: it's about his pants that are just too well, no.

51
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: Everyone notices every guy who's ever wore a pair of khakis,

52
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: especially with plats. Yeah, there's there's a it goes up,

53
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: and I know, comedically, I've always thought if I sit down.

54
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 3: Someone's gonna think I.

55
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: Have an erection that never would have occurred to me.

56
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: I guarantee somebody's done that in their stand up and

57
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: it didn't work, just my gut feeling because it's not

58
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: that funny unless you're watching it.

59
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's a it's a visual yea.

60
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 3: It only works as a visual And yeah, so Larry

61
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: took it to a visual place.

62
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: And this is the first episode.

63
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: I'm we'll get to you when we get to you.

64
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I.

65
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: Don't rush, we're here, We're gonna get to you. So

66
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: I want to talk about the pants tent thing, which

67
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: is okay, this is one of those things that we've

68
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: done a million times. Was just the minutia. Larry likes

69
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: no noticing the minutia and then taking it in a

70
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: place where you don't expect. So when you see him

71
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: playing with his pants at the beginning, you don't have

72
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: a clue of which I bet this. I bet that, No,

73
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: you can't bet. You don't know. Yes, Cheryl's friend, you know,

74
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: is gonna rub his arm. And also, by the way,

75
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: early on we see Larry's first annoying face, and that

76
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 3: is when Cheryl hands him the phone. He's bewildered and annoyed.

77
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: Cheryl won't go to the movies.

78
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: Her girlfriend's.

79
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Roys rose In Roseanne rose In. Yeah, yes, who was

80
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: at the time married to Mike Myers. But I don't

81
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: think anymore.

82
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: Well, no, no, no, she's not. She's actually a lot

83
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: I wrote it down other places just to mention her,

84
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: but we already did. Yeah, and she's lovely and she

85
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: was great, she was fast episode. Yeah. So when she

86
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: hands him the phone, I'm watching and feeling the frustration

87
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: and the embarrassment of which grows later. What he is,

88
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: he's like upping the anti. So at this point he's

89
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: pissed he has to go with her. What does he

90
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: say to her? And then he's meeting her at the movie.

91
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: Which I find, by the way, a little.

92
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: Bizarre by that she's meeting um there.

93
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Well, no, I would never say to my husband, go

94
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: with my girlfriend to the movies.

95
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: Well, yes, I'm trying to think if my wife of

96
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: your ever said that to me, And I think my

97
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: wife of your always felt better when I was attending

98
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: something with someone.

99
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: That's part of her accountability.

100
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: But that could also be a man or a woman, right,

101
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: and she would be joyful, like if I was going

102
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 3: to Chicago, where I'm from. The more time I spent

103
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: with her family, the happier she was, even though she

104
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: didn't say anything otherwise. So I think this is not

105
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: that unusual for a wife to say her best friend

106
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: with Larry she knows nothing's going on.

107
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I know, I know, but to volunteer him

108
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: that way. But then there's the storyline, so whatever, take

109
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: a step.

110
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: Back from that. There is this storyline, but whatever. One

111
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: of my problems with being involved in other projects is

112
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: they're never truthful to the truth. They never do things

113
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 3: in a realistic form. And I'll talk about it with

114
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 3: them or examine that and they'll tell me I'm thinking

115
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 3: too much. I've gotten that on many sitcoms. Don't logic

116
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: me up. I've actually gotten that phrase said to me,

117
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: now you want to nitpick this, and that he wouldn't

118
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 3: turn his head in that direction. And by the way,

119
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: on Curb, we even say those things about the way

120
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: someone looks at someone. But people would get angry at

121
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 3: me when I would do that, and so on this show,

122
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 3: you said you wouldn't, but I think someone might do that.

123
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't completely out of you know the realm of possibility.

124
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: It's just no, and it was closer than the realm.

125
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 3: Don't realm me out, suck. Accept that it struck you

126
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: as out, but don't go to realms. Let's keep going.

127
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: So the other thing that's set up in this episode

128
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: is Larry's issues with Lewis's girlfriends, which happens a lot.

129
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, this was the first one. The first one who,

130
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 3: by the way, I had seen her on the Sopranos.

131
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: Beautifully beautiful girl, just perfect for the role because she

132
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: was angry yet beautiful. We used there a couple of times,

133
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: two or three times because she was a great foil

134
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: for Larry as well as But he's.

135
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: But correcting that there seems to always be issues with

136
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: Lewis's girlfriend.

137
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: Which is always funny.

138
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: Always Hillarry is funny.

139
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: Now, I want to say the first scene after that,

140
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: when he's driving in his car to the movies, is

141
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: the first time I'm introduced in the series. I'm on

142
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: the you're on the phone on the speaker phone, and we're.

143
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: Talking faux pa by the way, to not tell somebody

144
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: that they're on speech by.

145
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: The way, And I'm not telling Jeff Garland because I

146
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 3: would never do that, but Jeff Green jueless, clueless. Of

147
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 3: course he's going to do that. And that's not out

148
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 3: of the realm. That is big bowl up in the realm.

149
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: That's a target of him being an idiot. And as

150
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: soon as Larry says, I'll check with Hitler or something, you.

151
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: Know, Hitler, he's referring to his wife's being Yeah.

152
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: Basically, what happens is he calls me. We're talking, and

153
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: then he asked me a question. He says, I'll ask you.

154
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: I have to ask permission of Hitler, which is an

155
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: extreme and I hate when Jews do the extreme. He

156
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: did it for the joke, but people do it. I

157
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: don't think Larry David would ever use that reference. But

158
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: he said. And then the characters played by Louis nine

159
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 3: and Minor Colb, which I'll get into a minute, Hitler, Hitler.

160
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: You know, they're screaming because they're in the car, and

161
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: he's very upset, very upset, which ultimately ends up getting

162
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: him in a lot more.

163
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: Well, the entire episode is about him apologizing NonStop to everybody,

164
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: which many episodes are.

165
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: Okay, so now comes the first funny thing, and this

166
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: is not something if we played a clip. We cannot

167
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: this would not be funny because you one hear it.

168
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: But the movie theater where he's at says the name

169
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: of the movie. It is pre digital expertise. In other words,

170
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: it looks like someone put one of those tape things

171
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: you used.

172
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: To, yeah, the tape guns, the label makers.

173
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: Label makers. It looked like someone digitally label maker in

174
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: the thing outside to say what was playing with the

175
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: flashing lights?

176
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah thing, It looks so bad. I didn't even notice it.

177
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: Oh, I burst out laughing. And it was horrible, horrible.

178
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: What was it?

179
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: I don't remember the name of the movie. He saw

180
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: a specific name of the movie, and it just it

181
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: looked horrible. All I want to say is, you know,

182
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: if that happened nowadays, I couldn't watch the rest of

183
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: the episode. I'd be obsessed.

184
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: But because our expectations just completely change. Is technology? Yeah,

185
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: because it's rock When we used to when they used

186
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: to watch old kinescopes, it seemed normal to them.

187
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: Right, I love old kinescopes. Did you know the third

188
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: of Curb You might not have known this all kinescopes. Yeah,

189
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: we went for a time machine. By the way, the

190
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: pauses are we got notes. I have ADHD, But what

191
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: do you have? What's your excuse for using notes? I

192
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: am old, she's old. I'm old, and I have ADHD. Therefore,

193
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 3: we watch these we have to make notes.

194
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: We have to make noteses one hundred and But there.

195
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: Are people who have a skill set they can do that. Yeah,

196
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: by the way, young Jeff, I'm like twenties. I could

197
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 3: have remembered every beat of the episode and every thought

198
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: I had. Really, now it's sixty, don't have a fucking clue.

199
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 3: All right, let's see here.

200
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: So the thing to me that was I mean, and

201
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: I definitely want to get to your pa.

202
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: You were right, by the way, in terms of Larry

203
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 3: and his uncomfort with all of Richard's girlfriends, and it

204
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: creates so many problems. But you know what else stood

205
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: out to me? How handsome was Richard Lewis?

206
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I noticed that.

207
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: Too, Damn I luxurious hair. I thought, Oh, and that

208
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: guy was playing Carnegie Hall, big comedian. I thought, wow,

209
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 3: he had to have lived a life, I know, a

210
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 3: little more than he wanted to visa the you know,

211
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: alcohol and drug abuse. Well he actually and by the way,

212
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: I say that with full permission, but by the way,

213
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 3: you could say to him when we weren't rolling at

214
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: any time, and I love to do this, Hey, Richard,

215
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: how long you been sober? He could tell you.

216
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: To the door, he says.

217
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: The two things Richard likes to say all the time

218
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: is that he's been sober for X number of years.

219
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, and that he sold

220
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: out Carnegie Hall in nineteen eighty nine, by the way

221
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: he do that.

222
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: Those are two of the big ones. And by the way,

223
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: this is what's beautiful. Also, I can pretend like I

224
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: didn't know that information, even though he's told it to

225
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 3: me one on one a minimum of a dozen times.

226
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 3: I can go in the same conversation, wait, did you

227
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: ever play Carnegie Hall? And I'll tell you, and I'll

228
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: tell you the date's proud of that very much. So

229
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 3: I'm never playing Carnegie Hall unless the show becomes popular

230
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 3: and you and I are sitting on a stage together.

231
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: And then the other thing, same conversation, I'll go, you're sober? Right?

232
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: How long? And he would do it all the time,

233
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: and I loved.

234
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: It, and he's very proud of that because he worked

235
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: very hard at it.

236
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: Well, both of them. Yes, I'm not making fun of him, but.

237
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm making it the other the part where so Larry is,

238
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get through the aisle and he

239
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: passes what was her name, Sophia?

240
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 3: What was her name?

241
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: Sophia?

242
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: He passes Sofia, who's Richard's girlfriend, who won't move her legs,

243
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: and she very angrily accuses him of looking at her breasts.

244
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: And do you know what he replies, you wear that

245
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 3: dress because you want people to look at his shoes. Right.

246
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: What's always funny is the discovery with Larry because he

247
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: has before and since done these things where he's done

248
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 3: something bad.

249
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: To Richard's girlfriend, and then his girlfriend he likes her

250
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: a lot.

251
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 3: Anyhow, what was amazing to me, which we would never

252
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: do now, and this is not even of its time,

253
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: We allowed the flashing lights of the sign above to

254
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 3: be going in every direction, so it's like watching people

255
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 3: in a disco at night having a conversation with all

256
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 3: the flashing nights, and the disco ball would be right

257
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: above them. It was so distracting and unsettling.

258
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: Well, I think stylistically the show was just finding itself.

259
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 3: This was the first I agree, but still I look

260
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: back and I go Wow, that sucked.

261
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also the technology has changed.

262
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: What technology could we do to stop flashing lights?

263
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: Turn them off? Now we have switches.

264
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 4: Well, by the way, what did they have back? Then

265
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 4: you're going to crank them off?

266
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. Stay tuned, and we're back.

267
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: So there's that whole interaction at the theater, and then

268
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: he's upset because he has this fight with this woman

269
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: who he doesn't know who she is, who we find

270
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: out later as Lewis's girlfriend.

271
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: And Cheryl's friend.

272
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: Nancy, to calm Larry down, starts just gently rubbing him.

273
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: They're not even outside. Then my mistake for jumping passes

274
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 3: with his popcorn. He sits down next door. He complains

275
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: about it. She can see he's upset, rubs his arm, and,

276
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: by the way, may I add a little extra rubbing there?

277
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: Little extra rubbing?

278
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't think because a couple of pats. That's pleasant.

279
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: She went for. I'm trying to give you an erection.

280
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: Let's make out now before this.

281
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: Do men get erections from rubbing their arm?

282
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: Can I be honest with you? Yeah, those who are

283
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: lucky enough surely do.

284
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Larry did not get an erection, but he assumed

285
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: that he did because his pants.

286
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 3: Which leads to something insane that we'll talk about shortly.

287
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 3: Go ahead, no, wait, wait, it'll come.

288
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: Okay when it comes, and all of that goes down.

289
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: But he did not have an erection.

290
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: Of course not.

291
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: She just assumes.

292
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: So okay. So if you're going out to a movie

293
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: with a friend of your wives or a female friend

294
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: of yourself that is not romantic, and you're involved with

295
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: somebody else and someone rubs your arm, even in a

296
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 3: sexual way, more than let's say, half a dozen times,

297
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: you'd either say something or force your brain to not

298
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: get an erection, because you can, you can force it

299
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: down like, Nope, this is not you don't want to insult. No,

300
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: by the way, I'm not saying it's a date and

301
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: you're single in their single right.

302
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: No, it's a situation that much close to your.

303
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: Wife or it's a friend of yours. You know you'd go,

304
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get involved in this, but you know so,

305
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: so when I said definitely to him, by the way

306
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: of those of you listening to the show, I'm going

307
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: off on a lot of tangents and I want to apologize.

308
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: We'll see where that goes and maybe part of the

309
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: show I don't know, but as of now, a lot

310
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: of tangents so far, we'll see keep going.

311
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: So that's all done. They go outside, he sees Lewis.

312
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: He finds out that this woman is Lewis, his girlfriend.

313
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: They supposed to have dinner the following weekend. He's like,

314
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: I'm not having dinner with them, right, no way.

315
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: Well that's when the next thing. He goes home and

316
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: says to Cheryl, we're supposed to have dinner, but that's

317
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: not him.

318
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: That's not happening, and he tells Cheryl about He very

319
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: smartly tells Cheryl that her friend Nancy thought he had.

320
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 3: In direction, by the way, you have to do that.

321
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: But he neglected to tell her that she was rubbing

322
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: his arm, right, which.

323
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: Is an important thing.

324
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: I'm jumping ahead. But the next episode, which is about

325
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 3: episode two, I have something to say about that. They

326
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: explaining yes, okay, all.

327
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: Right, I know where you're going.

328
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: I know the whole episode is about apologies, and then

329
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: comes back the whole issue with your parents and him

330
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: saying sorry on the machine, right, and Cheryl wanting to

331
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: know why he said he was sorry, And that's again

332
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: he's digging a hole, digging a hole, digging in the hole.

333
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: Well, there were three things that pile up, and they're

334
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: all of his own doing. Now, a lot of times

335
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: on the show, my character is responsible for him digging

336
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: a hole because he gives him advice, but also when

337
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: he tries to help me with you a stickler. I'm

338
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: in everything everyone does on this show that is not

339
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: Larry or I. It has no effect on them. Whatever

340
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 3: they do. If Larry or I are involved, and obviously together,

341
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: it's digging bigger holes after bigger holes. Basically, I'm attached

342
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: to Larry's trouble ninety percent of the time and.

343
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of the time that you're in trouble with

344
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: either me or Cheryl.

345
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, obviously more so me with you, although

346
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: I think ye. I'm saying you split it up nicely.

347
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: You know, early on, as we talked about in the

348
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: first episode Cheryl and I, she didn't like me. I

349
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: was trying to work through that my client's wife, you know,

350
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: but she did not like me. The character I'm talking about,

351
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: Cheryl Hines, loved me from the get go. And I

352
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: say that in a gentle one.

353
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: Now, was there a discussion when you started doing the

354
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: series that you're going to change that dynamic.

355
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, Larry made that decision as he was writing

356
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: the episode, So.

357
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 2: He made that. That was a conscious decision.

358
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 3: Conscious decision, and HBO that was one of the only

359
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: notes they had. We liked the conflict, he says, I

360
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 3: don't want to do that. And by the way, I

361
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: don't know if this was the last season of it

362
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: or the second season was this season. He had not

363
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: finished all the outlines when the season started, so it

364
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: was a lot of work for him to go back

365
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 3: to the office when we weren't shooting and write the outline.

366
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 3: See now when we go to work, as you know,

367
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 3: before we even show up, we've read all ten episodes

368
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: and they changed very little.

369
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: But you and Cheryl in the show, Jeff Green and

370
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Cheryl David, I don't remember that there's anytime that you're

371
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: ever really close.

372
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: This is just not coming.

373
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: But we're very cope, steadic.

374
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're fine.

375
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 3: I mean I think that we even get to a

376
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 3: point where she just accepts me like Larry's.

377
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: Arm right, right, you know what I mean, Like you know,

378
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: because they're here.

379
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 3: I have no problems with it. But even then I

380
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: think she got mad at me. Maybe once during the

381
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: season her toy. She's kicked me out of the house before.

382
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: I remember for yeah, I remember what all I'll discover

383
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: when we watch Yeah, I remember, and let me also

384
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,239
Speaker 1: had this.

385
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: I watch these with my girlfriend Sari, and it's fun

386
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: to see it through.

387
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 2: Her somebody else's eyes. Yeah, I don't.

388
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 3: Talk too much when we watch things. But other than that,

389
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: fun to watch it through her up it is because

390
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: I have to pause a lot because of her, So

391
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: I'm not really just absorbing, but I pause a lot

392
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 3: because I want to write something down. But bonus for her,

393
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: all right.

394
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: So it's a mistake after mistake alienation one after the other.

395
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: The Hitler thing.

396
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: Lewis confronts him, my son down, there's a possibly gonna

397
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: come to me, that's right. He comes up with it,

398
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: and then Larry has to come to our house to

399
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: apologize to your parents for the Hitler thing. But in

400
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: the interim he has left a message saying he's sorry,

401
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: and so he has a conflict with Cheryl. So it's

402
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: all very, you know, very interwoven. Yes, So let's talk

403
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: about Louis and Mina.

404
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 3: No, let's talk about what happens before Louis and Mina.

405
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 3: That's more important.

406
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?

407
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: Larry walks in the house. What's the first thing he sees?

408
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 2: I don't know you? Oh me, Yes, the first thing

409
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: he sees.

410
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 3: Your introduction into the show. What are you sewing? So

411
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 3: the fact you were lost on it is a bonus.

412
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: Well, I don't remember you know what you are old?

413
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: I am old.

414
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: We just watched it.

415
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: Okay, So yes, he does see me. He does see me.

416
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: And what's interesting is that house we rented. That was

417
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: a house up in the Hollywood Hills.

418
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: If you were here, Yes, we were there for a

419
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: number of seasons.

420
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: I think only two.

421
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: I think they had to leave after the second season

422
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: because because it was the parking was too difficult.

423
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: Truck getting up through the hills with the trucks. By

424
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: the way, the fact we chose that initially, it doesn't

425
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 3: make that. I like that house a lot.

426
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: We had a.

427
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: Completely different group that was producing and all of that

428
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: at that time.

429
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 3: Sandy Chanley, Yes, and I said, like, I'm introducing her

430
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: on a variety show, Sandy Chenman, and there.

431
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: Was the blonde Yeah, and uh yeah, you know I'm talking.

Speaker 3: I remember the all good Eggs, by the way.

435
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know the machinations.

436
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 3: Of what can I be honest with you in my

437
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 3: entire life, I'm sixty years old, I've never used the

438
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: word mascinations.

439
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 2: Really, wow, Maybe you will now could.

440
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: Be more likely, I'll say that I knew the word

441
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 3: but never used it.

442
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: What happened was, Yeah, did you guys audition people for

443
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: that role?

444
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: No, you had an audition.

Speaker 2: Okay.

449
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,359

470
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to have it cost me money. You

471
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: want me to do it for dayscale?

472
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 2: Fine?

473
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: And I was just a guest star. It was nothing,

474
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: so whatever. Eventually somebody came up with some money. They

475
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: put me up in some crappy hotel in Venice, some shithole,

476
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: and I think they flew me out, coach or whatever.

477
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 3: Of course they flew out coach, I would wager, although I.

478
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: Think it's against union rules to do that, but I

479
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: think they flew me out Coach. And the reason why

480
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: Larry had called me for the part was he had

481
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: a later episode which we'll get to called The Wire,

482
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: which is later on in the season where I have

483
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: to be a little angry amaze set the tone, Yes,

484
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: a little angry.

485
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 3: Two scenes set the tone. Yeah. One, and then when

486
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: we get to.

487
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 2: That, this is what I wasn't angry at all.

488
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: No, No, I meant the one coming up this season, yes,

489
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: and then one from the season two, that season.

490
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: Two, the dollars.

491
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So he had seen me do I did it

492
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine a roast of Jerry Stiller on

493
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Comedy Central, right, And you know roasts you have to

494
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: be very blue, it's what they are. And so he

495
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: just saw that I had a facility with a certain language,

496
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: which is what he had in mind. And I don't

497
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: really you know, we'll ask him when he comes on

498
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: the show exactly what it was that he was thinking.

499
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: But I think a light bulb moment just went off

500
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: and then he came to you, Yeah, and he.

501
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: Just said, what would you think about Susie Esmond for

502
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: your wife? And I completely lit up. I go, can

503
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 3: we do that? How can we do that? He goes, yeah, look,

504
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 3: let's do it.

505
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: And the character's name was Marla begin with yes, but

506
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: because that was your wife, wife of yours.

507
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: So I mean that was how it all started.

508
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 3: I don't remember you being named Marla.

509
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: That's yes, And I was at a point in my

510
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: career this is I guess he called me in nineteen

511
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: ninety one.

512
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 3: By the way, you were primarily known in this point

513
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 3: in your career as a stand up Yeah, but you

514
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: were primarily known as one of those gals from Women

515
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: of the Night.

516
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 2: But I just want to go back to the thing.

517
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: So he offered me the job.

518
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: And at that point I was in a very frustrated

519
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: place in my career because I had been doing stand

520
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: up for the best sixteen years and was really good,

521
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: and nothing was happening.

522
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 3: Even if you have the talent, even if you're funny

523
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 3: as hell, there's still so much adversity. I remember sitting

524
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 3: on the steps of Second City with Bob Odenkirk okay,

525
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: and we're both sitting there having had so much adversity,

526
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 3: people ignoring us, and we really were miffed. We said,

527
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: I think your funny, saying to me, I think you're funny.

528
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 3: What the fuck is going on? Why does anyone notice us?

529
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 3: I'll never forget that. It's vivid to me now, but

530
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: that's part of being a young comedian.

531
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 2: I wasn't even that young at this point, I was

532
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: like forty five.

533
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: But by the time, yeah, okay, but I think that

534
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: just a point I want to make about that is

535
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: he saw me on that roast of Jerry Stiller, right,

536
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: and Comedy Central didn't want me on that roast. The

537
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: Friars Club had said they wanted me on that roast,

538
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: and Comedy Central mixed me because I was whatever, too old,

539
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: to Jewish, to female for whatever reason, they didn't want me.

540
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: And the Friars Club fought for me to be on

541
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: that roast because I had done so much stuff for them,

542
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: Gratis improved myself because that was always my thing about

543
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: my career. You just keep showing up, showing up, you

544
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: do good work, and you just focus on that. You

545
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: don't focus on what am I getting and everybody else

546
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: is getting, and just do your thing and do your thing.

547
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: And that's what I always did, what we human and

548
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: that's what I always did.

549
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: And they fought for me to be on that roast.

550
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: In Comedy Central, I think thought, okay, well let her

551
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: be on the roast, and they paid what was then

552
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: a decent amount. I think it was like five thousand,

553
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: and they were gonn to cut me out. Well, I

554
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: killed you know, and those roasts are hard, and those

555
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: rooms are hard.

556
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 3: The roasts are hard. Unless someone's an idiot, I would

557
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 3: be horrible on a roast. I mean, you're not get roast.

558
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: And I was terrible, Oh my god, terrible, I know, Bob, Yeah,

559
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: that kills me to roast.

560
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: Or a specific mobility. And it's not the way that

561
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: I do my stand up because I'm not joking. No,

562
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: but I worked it and I made it jokey because

563
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: I knew that's what. And you're in a horrible room

564
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: with the high ceiling, the high ballroom ceiling.

565
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: But anyway, the Friar's Club, because without the Friars Club,

566
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: we wouldn't be having this conversation.

567
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: That's right.

568
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: You know what. I was gonna pull out of my

569
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 3: membership today because I've had it with them.

570
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 2: Well, they're a completely different things.

571
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm a proud member of the press. But

572
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: they're closed right now.

573
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: They're not. It's a whole different thing.

574
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 3: They're not going to open.

575
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: I don't know. But it's not what it used to be.

576
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: Well, everything's not what it used to it. A good

577
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 3: buffet on a Sunday morning.

578
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: I don't even know if they do that anymore.

579
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 3: Basically, what she's saying is you, the listener who we

580
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 3: have to respect, would not be interested in what's going

581
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 3: down at the Friars Club. Myself, Jeff Garrow and a

582
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 3: member of the Friars Club, a comedian looking back on

583
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 3: Milton Borough, etc.

584
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: Wow, that was just a tremendous tradition, an amazing tradition.

585
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: And the roasts. You know, Phyllis Diller dressed up as

586
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 2: a man with a beard and a suit, and she

587
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: snuck into a Friar's roast because women were not allowed

588
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: in Friar's roasts. We'll be right back. Stay tuned and

589
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 2: we're back. The water is blocking the camera on you?

590
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: Was it blocking me? Was it below my neck? I

591
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 3: want this all included, by the way, I always want

592
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 3: this stuff included. Keep the whole fucker in. I want

593
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 3: people to feel the whole adventure that I'm feeling. It

594
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: was very important to get the picture out from because

595
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: it was blocking part of my chin. Anyhow, I thought,

596
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: why not put the the picture in front of me

597
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 3: and tell them where they can buy it. It's a

598
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 3: great by the way, I totally dig that.

599
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful picture. So all right, So Larry gives

600
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: me the job, He offers me the job.

601
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: Finally they come up with the ten dollars to fly

602
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: me out and put me up. And this was I

603
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: remember thinking, really because it was right after he did

604
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: the Seinfeld syndication deal.

605
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's not his money.

606
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: Regardless, you know what I mean that nobody, a producer

607
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: or an actor doesn't say I'll pay for it.

608
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 2: That never happens.

609
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: We know that would happen. Yeah, what, by the way,

610
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 3: Larry David, now if he wanted somebody as bad as you,

611
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 3: he would say I'll pay for it.

612
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 2: At that time, I don't think he would.

613
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: He didn't know better.

614
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: Nobody knew it, didn't think it was such a slap

615
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 2: dash operation.

616
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: In the beginning, we had no trailers, for example, we

617
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: had no hold on.

618
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: Hold on, forget the for example. Now, normally you have,

619
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 3: at worst, when you're primary on a show, a triple banger,

620
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 3: which means daddy, there's one trailer with three dress room cubbies. Yeah. No,

621
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: they're more than copies because then you've got four. The

622
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 3: ones with four in a row are usually for people

623
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 3: who have one line.

624
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 2: And they don't have their own bathroom.

625
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 3: And then most of them don't have their own bathroom.

626
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: Then the triple banger is smaller rooms, but it is

627
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 3: a room. You could take it.

628
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 2: You have a bathroom, and.

629
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: You have a bathroom, right, And then there's a double Banger,

630
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 3: and then there's the star trailer and then I work

631
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 3: with Adde Murphy and Daddy Daycare. He actually had four

632
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: trailers connected, like to make a diamond.

633
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: Oh, he had a house basically.

634
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: One was filled with exercise equipment. One was filled with

635
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: Danish pastries. I'm kidding, that's if I had that trailer.

636
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 3: But anyhow, we I e the cast of Kurby your Enthusiasm, Susie, myself,

637
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: Cheryl was there? Anyone else's a regular? Richard was on,

638
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: if Ted was on?

639
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: We shared No, no, not the first season. There was

640
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: no trailer, no no, wait but you know here me

641
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: there wasn't even a makeup or hair trailer.

642
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: There was no makeup and hair ti No, there were sands.

643
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: Wait here so you're taking me back and I because

644
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: I'm I'm thinking obviously of where we were season two.

645
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: So season one we just sat and directed.

646
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: We find a room somewhere and change and we would

647
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: be doing our hair and makeup by the.

648
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: Way, I'm remembering this, but I forgot all about it.

649
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: It was so we had nothing.

650
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 3: That was that you talk about, slap Dad.

651
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

652
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: Really low budget. We had nothing. Yeah, now I remember

653
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: there wasn't.

654
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 3: Even the house that our characters lived because it was space.

655
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 3: But we had a whole separate building.

656
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: We had a room.

657
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, big room with a big bathroom. No wonder I

658
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 3: liked that. That's right, because even.

659
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, I just want to point that it

660
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: was really low budget. You know, believe me, all those

661
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: girls on Sex and the City all had their own trailer,

662
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: and they had a makeup trailer, and they had a

663
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: hair trailer. Again with yet to begin with, we didn't

664
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: have anything. We were like the only child.

665
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: What HBO referred to us as their little experimental.

666
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: Their little experimental, and that's right, that's what we were,

667
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: and we had none of that.

668
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: I even think that was the case for season two.

669
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: I might be wrong.

670
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: I think it was season three that we got the

671
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: trailer we all shared, but maybe it was season two.

672
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 3: Well I'm pretty sure it was season two.

673
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: But I've spoken to Thomas, who was our makeup guy.

674
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: They had no trailer, right, it was just like in

675
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: a corner.

676
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 3: Somewhere on the shows episode one.

677
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: I think he came in a little later, but I'm

678
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: not sure, like in that season he came in season one, okay,

679
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: but you know we'd go off in a corner somewhere.

680
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 3: Is because there's very few of us who have been

681
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 3: there since the beginning, you know, in terms of the

682
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: hour one, myself.

683
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: Cheryl, Larry Laura, Cheryl Larry Laura, that's it, Bob Whitey.

684
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: Bob Whitey. But Bob white is no longer. He directs

685
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: an occasional episode. So yes, he was there at the beginning.

686
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: Yes, there he directed this episode.

687
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 3: Actually, oh yeah, yeah, season one number one. Of course

688
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 3: he did. But I'm just saying in terms of from

689
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 3: then to still being on the show.

690
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: Full time, right, So I was not a contract player.

691
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: I was aide dayscale. I was told I'm in three

692
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: episodes at that point, and I was totally happy to

693
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: do it. But it wasn't anything that I ever thought

694
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: I'd be sitting here twenty two years later and still

695
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: be doing and still talking about It was a knockoff.

696
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: It was a one off.

697
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, I know you felt that way.

698
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 3: It's very strange for me to watch these because what

699
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: I remember now is every single detail about what I

700
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: was thinking, what I had for craft service, every single

701
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: aspect where I sat while we filmed a certain scene,

702
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 3: when we shot that angle, where was I. It all

703
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: came flooding back to me, and that is really strange. Also,

704
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 3: I think the success of our show lies in early on,

705
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: at least when shows are usually at their fighting their

706
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 3: way the best, but they're really interesting. There was no

707
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: hype early on. That's right. Noms of bands are usually

708
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 3: so good because they're fighting for their lives. What's going

709
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 3: to happen? And we just did what made us laugh.

710
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: There was no thought we were working in the vacuum.

711
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 3: We had no idea how people were going to react

712
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: to this at all.

713
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: And just anecdotally, the first two seasons were really under

714
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: the radar. I just noticed the third season people noticing

715
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: me on the street and things like that, but really

716
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: under the radar.

717
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: Season did we start following the Sopranos three or four?

718
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 3: I don't remember, Well, that's the season where we took off.

719
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: That's for season where many new eyes came on us

720
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: off the Sopranos.

721
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: There was something that I liked about being under the radar.

722
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, being under the radar and being employed and

723
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 3: making a good living, that's the dream.

724
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

725
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: Well I wasn't making a good living. I was making

726
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: day skill.

727
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: By the way, I was barely making a good living.

728
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: So at this point, only you, Larry and Cheryl were

729
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: series regulars. Yes, all right, we're hitting a lot of

730
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: time here, so let's get to Louis.

731
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 3: And you said anecdotally, yeah, could you promise me that

732
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: you would use that in talking to me at least

733
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 3: a half dozen times a week before you.

734
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 2: I promise you.

735
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 3: Okay? That?

736
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 2: And what was machinations?

737
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 3: Oh, if you can add anecdotally, I have some mascinations.

738
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: So I just had this one little scene and it

739
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: was really just introducing the character. Sammy was a boy

740
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: at this point. I think I made up the name Sammy,

741
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: So I actually chose well because it could have been either.

742
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: Right. When the thing with the cuteness that you said,

743
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 3: like she's got her arm, it was that a dog

744
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: you were talking.

745
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: There was another kid, and there was the other women

746
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: there that were my mommy and me, So.

747
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: The other kid was one of the other ladies.

748
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: Correct. I was very and Larry wouldn't go up and

749
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: see the kid, which.

750
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: By the way, why would he? No, no, forget, why

751
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: would he? Who the hell wants to if it's my kid?

752
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: I barely want to go up, and I love my.

753
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: Children, but seeing them got very upset about you.

754
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 3: Yes, well, by the way, let me just go back,

755
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: because it's really important one talk about my parents. So

756
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 3: my parents are played by Mina Colb, who is the

757
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 3: most sweet, wonderful woman, but also in the first Company

758
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 3: of Second City, the first, very first. She was kind

759
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 3: of an angenou back then too, and she played my

760
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 3: mother in the movie I did I want someone to

761
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: teach cheese with? Yes, And what a delight. I'll never

762
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 3: forget her saying to me there was a Second City

763
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 3: reunion and I'm wearing a red shirt and she walked

764
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 3: to me, you look good and red. Red's your color.

765
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: And since then you think ever we're red, and I

766
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: don't think of that much.

767
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: So was she your idea to play your mother?

768
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 3: Uh? She was casting, but she was my mom because

769
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 3: she told me I look good in red, because that's

770
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: what made her.

771
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 2: But she did not have a big career here.

772
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 3: Oh, in Hollywood. She worked, She worked, but I'm.

773
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: Just saying she wasn't you know, Louis and I was

774
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: a much better known name.

775
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 3: For example, Louis and I. I want to talk about this

776
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 3: for a second.

777
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 2: Before I is mine is still alive.

778
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: I don't know, and I don't want to.

779
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 2: Check, all right, for Louis I, I'm going to.

780
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 3: No, no, for fear, I'm gonna find out on the

781
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 3: air she's not. She's quite old though, I know that,

Speaker 2: He was so funny in the episode.

813
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 3: I think the funniest line, it's not even a line

814
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 3: something someone said on the show, belongs to Louis and

815
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 3: I in an episode down the road, get to it, Yes,

816
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 3: but this one one, Yeah, it's all normal. Larry David

817
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 3: is apologizing to my parents. My parents are being kind

818
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,480

Speaker 3: you did. But you're apolic And the way Louie and

821
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 3: I says rotten is a gift from the guy.

822
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: That's right, And that was improvised. Yeah, he was not

823
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: given that, by the way.

824
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 3: That show at that point was really improvised, you know.

825
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying that that's when you hire the

826
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: right people, When you hire a comedy brain like that,

827
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: you get that kind of gold.

828
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's a big ball of gold.

829
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all.

830
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: Right, where where where are we at?

831
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: Well?

832
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: I mean the rest is just the stuff at the rest.

833
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: I love that he's talking about sources for him getting erections.

834
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 3: He explained this because this is the thing I want

835
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 3: to talk about. She comes back and she says it

836
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 3: was She's sticking to it. She wants it to be

837
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 3: clearly in erection, and she's pissed off it it's not.

838
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: But Larry says, sources. Sophia Laurand was once a source.

839
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 3: I know my sources sometimes they're mysterious sources. Mysterious sources,

840
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 3: which I just thought was the funniest thing for me

841
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 3: in the episode. And you know what, we go to

842
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 3: the restaurant. This is the last scene, and when we're

843
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 3: ordering at the table, did you hear what Louis orders and.

844
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 2: Order fish frenzy?

845
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 3: Ordering things for the menu? He decides on this seafood

846
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 3: menu he's going to order. It's just not on the menu.

847
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have the fish frenzy.

848
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 3: And the way he says it is too fucking funny.

849
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and he was. I enjoyed working with him also.

850
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 3: So Larry had come to my office and said, hey,

851
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: you know the Hitler thing. Cheryl heard you on the

852
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 3: message say you were sorry. So what you're gonna apologize for?

853
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: And the whole episode really the theme was apology, letters

854
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 3: of apology, Stop apologizing. So he told me, if she

855
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 3: wants to know why, you're apologizing. And I was writing

856
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 3: a letter to Kathy Griffin apologizing, you know, and that

857
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 3: Kathy called you about working with me with Larry, and

858
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: you didn't give him the message, so I said it

859
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 3: was I'm sorry. Well, of course Larry's got She walks

860
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 3: up to the table and I see her and she

861
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 3: says alone to me, and I do a thing I've

862
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: done on the show many times, and that was the

863
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 3: first time, which is the hey hey hey, which.

864
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 4: Is hey hey hey in other words, oh fuck, oh fuck,

865
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 4: oh fuck, and Larry doesn't.

866
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 3: We're both looking at how do we take this? What

867
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 3: do we do? And we even continue lying to her,

868
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 3: going what are you talking about?

869
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: And that sets up in my mind, it sets up

870
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: a dynamic, which is that with you and Larry and

871
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: Cheryl and me, that you are constantly digging deeper holes

872
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: with us and we always know, we always catch you.

873
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: And there's no lesson learned. You never learned the way

874
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: there's a lesson learn there's no show.

875
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: Not comedy, just doing the same thing over and over again.

876
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 3: By the way, I want to end this with again

877
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 3: Louis and I. The waitress walks away and he goes,

878
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 3: look at the way that girl walked.

879
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 2: I know he was a little dirty old man.

880
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 3: My grandfather was that I hated. My grandfather talked to

881
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 3: everyone and flirted with every waitress, and I couldn't understand why.

882
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 3: When I was a kid. It made me uncomfortable, but

883
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 3: my instincts were correct.

884
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,719
