Uh, of course.

They're all these episodes of Seinfeld that have now become famous.

And part of the TV lore, one of the most famous was the contest where all the main characters had to refrain from pleasuring themselves for quite a while.

And that was actually from that.

That idea came from you.

Is that right?

Yeah.

That was based on something that actually happened to May.

Okay, You actually had a contest like this in your life.

Yeah, I was in a contest.

Okay, um, what was the reason for having a contest like that?

I just got a little tired of.

Yeah, it seemed like it was It seemed like it was in the air.

There was too much of it going on.

I want it out.

You know, he wanted I wanted out.

I don't wanna have anything to do with dragging me back in.

Yeah, I needed, uh, I needed some motivation, you know, to get out of that, you know, you need to be motivated to do that.

So I decided I was talking to a friend of mine one day, and, uh we decided on this contest, right?

Yeah.

And did you did you?

Because in the show, you you pretty much are the George Costanza character.

Are you the one that won the contest, Justus George did on this show?

Yeah, I won the contest.

Uh, but I was weakening in the last couple of days.

Okay.

You haven't done this before.

You're not?

You're not comfortable with the whole promotional aspect of that's got to be honest in my living room.

So But that has nothing to do with anything, right?

No, because it seems it seems kind of silly.

Why?

I'm gonna come out here and start talking about this special and people gonna go rushing for their pencils, you know, Right?

I mean, the whole idea is preposterous.

What?

What?

What's what's the point?

You don't think you're helping by appearing on this show?

You don't think you're helping your special people will come out here and and deliberately not watch after e I don't see the whole point of it.

It seems like it's like it's a bizarro kind of plot, Right?

Right.

What about the whole celebrity interview thing?

What do you think of that?

I mean, the whole concept that these shows are just celebrity interviews.

What do you think of that?

I don't even know what you're referring.

Thio.

You think it's weird?

It's a contrived conversations.

Totally.

Yes.

You.

I do think that you wouldn't talk to me if you son of a drive conversation.

It's a contrived conversation.

Totally there, Ugo.

No, I know I haven't opinion on that, but I just don't know what it is.

Uh, you, uh, you were stand up on your returning to stand up, and it was hard going when you were stand up.

I've heard how hard going and would have.

The audience would actually be visibly angry with you.

A lot of times they would be very upset with my with me or my material or some combination.

Right on.

Uh, I would be heckled unmercifully, you know, And I didn't I didn't know how to read.

I didn't react to it like a comedian like to have something like funny to say something witty.

I just kind of, you know, I was like, McEnroe up there.

I would be very temperamental.

I go.

Why?

Why you saying that stuff, Thio?

I'm searching the first and you can't talk to me like that.

I would like, freak out.

I couldn't.

Ideal.

It's not become back.

That's the worst response you can have the worst.

Yeah, on.

You know, I happen to have a terrible temper that's accompanied by no guts, which is also a very bad combination.

Really?

Okay.

I gotta catch your act.

This sounds don't catch it.

Okay?

So don't watch the special Larry David curb your enthusiasm doing on October 17th at, You know, if it was on in the daytime, I would say definitely.

Don't watch it.

That would be idiotic.

You're not gonna stay home.

I'm gonna stay home.

You know, if you have nothing else to do, that's stupid.

But maybe if you're passing by it, i e the best plug we've had in six years on the air.

Yeah, well, Larry, thank you very much for stopping.

Thank you so much.

Like Larry.
