In the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm there was a 1-2 minute segment where Larry and Jerry riffed about...I don't even remember, something dumb. And at some point after that I heard an interview from Jerry Seinfeld about that moment, and how they were all super tired from filming that day and Jerry just decided to start riffing with Larry and they had a really fun time and their banter made the final cut of the episode.

During that interview I remember realizing that that whole entire unfunny and unmemorable exchange, that I remember not laughing at at all, was initiated by Jerry Seinfeld, and that he's ultimately the less funny party when it comes to Larry + Jerry. I think a lot of Seinfeld's success can be traced directly to Larry David, with Jerry Seinfeld happening to be in the right place at the right time.

To be fair, I do remember dying laughing to a Jerry Seinfeld stand-up special as a teen in the early 00's, possibly "I'm Telling You For The Last Time" of which the title is sticking in my brain.

But at this point? My most prominent thought is: that was a long, long time ago.

Yeah, in the late 90s/early 00s I laughed at Denis Leary standup specials, we've all done it. I mostly put it down to it being some of the earliest standup I'd seen so I just didn't know any better.

People get weird about this stuff when it comes out that the creator of something you used to enjoy turns out to be a bad person. Charisma and/or talent are not mutually exclusive with not being a shithead! Like, sure, in hindsight it seems like Larry David was the driving force behind what made Seinfeld tick, but it feels like a revisionism to act like the namesake guy wasn't part of that show's charm.

Well he's a famous millionaire and I'm just some rear end in a top hat on the internet so who gives a poo poo what I think :v:

Cool Games Inc. was the first podcast I really got into back in 2016, so much so that when I ran out of episodes, I went back to the beginning and listened through again. I highly doubt that my tastes have changed enough in 8 years to go back and not find that show funny anymore, and yet I've never once done so, because I just have no desire to anymore. The magic's gone. A moment in time to which I can never return.

That's how I feel about Seinfeld; I just have no desire to go back and watch anymore, despite loving it when it came out. Yes it's a little dated, but it's not even about that. It's more like, I see what he's doing and it doesn't do it for me anymore. I also won't turn my nose up at anybody who still does like it.

It's fine though because there's a million other people out there making incredible art and comedy to fill that void!

The Bean Dad opening was better.

Put on my headphones, hit play, start cooking breakfast while my talky show opens up with a nice, gentle tune that's familiar, but not too familiar, but not too not familiar.

Somehow the new opening always surprises me with an intensity that I'm not really looking for when I start a podcast, without also being loving awesome like most of the Adventure Zone openings

Maybe the sort of whiplash going from "the McElroy brothers are not experts" to the song contributes? It's a departure, that's for sure.

Edit--
Every time the new theme song plays, it sort of surprises me. It's like I could have never seen what was coming for me.

That's kind of the problem with the entire affair. Scoped to just the "scandal" he was guilty of only being somewhat unfunny and a bad storyteller. However when people started digging looking for dirt all that business came out (fairly old iirc, but still no bueno) and ties were cut. The entire thing was very stupid, but so was he for making those statements and also not deleting them once he (in theory) became less of a shithead.

Travis absolutely does. Though I HAVE to imagine that after Ethersea and how his character went he at least has some self awareness of it.
