The History Of Curb Your Enthusiasm With Jeff Garlin & Susie Essman iHeartPodcasts

Fun podcast, love Susie, love getting the scoop, it’s fun. What’s not fun is Jeff constantly interrupting. I don’t know how Susie tolerates it. She must be the most Zen person ever (ironically, the opposite of her character). And he interrupts guests. He lacks self-awareness, to say the least. He says, “I interrupt because I’m curious.” No, you interrupt because you think what you have to say is the most important thing. (It’s not.) He’ll turn a conversation about a woman’s experience into his experience as a man. His ignorance about The Vagina Monologues, his tone deafness about how it’s harder for non-male comedians, are just two examples. Jeff, if you’re truly curious, try closing your mouth and listen. Maybe use a talking stick and only talk when you have the stick. Susie, give him the stick after you’ve finished your sentence.

I caught this show when I was a teenager (after the sopranos, haha) and I’m 34 now! It still makes me laugh until I tear up. I have to say the last few minutes of the series finale made me emotional! The Doll is my favorite of all. Thank you for this podcast. It puts a smile on my face just like the show has for so many years

Jeff is insufferable in this podcast: he speaks over Susie constantly, interrupts anything of value, and never contributes anything of value. I feel bad for Susie, she has something great to say, but never gets to.
