The Julia Louis-Dreyfus Episode

You might know Julia Louis-Dreyfus from Seinfeld. You might know her from Veep. You might know her just by knowing her. To be fully honest with you, we were all a little nervous today because of how important this woman is to our lives. For Benny, watching Seinfeld was a religious experience every week. He used to have a dog named Larry David. Kristin used to watch Elaine every day for confidence. Dave is actually from the Seinfeld coaching tree of comedy. So really, even this show you're watching right now would not be what it is without Seinfeld existing. And one of the biggest inspirations for us was trying to capture that feeling of a group of friends just hanging out. Well, today Julia comes over and does exactly that with the three of us, and what can you say about that except it's an honor. We were all very starstruck but we think we mostly held it together. We love Julia! Boy are we thankful she came. Thanks for watching us hang out with one of our comedy idols. We respect you!
