Later on the show, Seinfeld also criticized comedians who take themselves too seriously on podcasts.
Jesus Christ, make us laugh, how interesting do you think you are?
Youre not that interesting, okay?
When youre funny, youre worth it.
If youre not that funny, were not that interested in you.
I meant to say he must feel surrounded, but I said outflanked which sounded terrible and insulting.
Anyway, it was bad and Im sorry, Howie.
I still love you.
