Jason Alexander | You Made It Weird

[@AnthonyP73]

The biggest tribute I can pay to this great episode is at a certain point I stopped seeing "that" beloved comedy character, and I started seeing this terrific person named Jason Alexander. This was amazing Pete

[@ajones3569]

You said It. Thank You and Jason Very Articulate Beings.

[@davidmetcalfcomedy]

SO good! 👏🏻

[@romanoonamor7690]

"that"? You know, you can still name the beloved comedy character. It doesn't make it an insult to say he is mostly known for George Costanza.

[@dcool2u2]

Same! Especially towards the end as I was intently listening to his thoughts on spiritually. I seriously didn't see or think about George at all. I'll always love George Castansa but it was nice to really see Jason as himself. I loved Pete's joke "Would you like another take " 😂

[@JimNortonsAlcoholism]

This is one of Jason's most genuine interviews. Really get him now more than ever.

[@ajones3569]

Pete Is Great at This Being Here Now Sharing Entertaining The Spirits Of Us Helping Us Be Free Together and Laugh about This

[@LiamMack33]

Pete!!! Just wanted to say again that I love that you've brought video to the table. I'll still mostly be listening to it as an audio only podcast, because that's just how my life is scheduled. But there are times when listening, that I would love to see the look on your or your guest's face, and this gives me that access. Thanks bud! Cheers

[@amy_grace]

Same! I wouldn't say I "watch" these so much as "glance over at" them while mainly listening, but it's really nice to be able to do that!

[@petiewheat82]

I start out watching, then switch to ipod as I go on my way...that way I can picture the scene. Only Pete would think to acquire a giant couch like this for interviews. I love knowing that even if he has a guest who I have heard tell the same story a few times, the story will be different when they are in Pete's wacky world. Thanks for all the great work and for keeping the pod free!

[@britainvanderbush9194]

This might be one of my favorite episodes. Going to remember this for a long time. Thank you guys for having and sharing this incredible conversation.

Yea fucking ridiculous

[@NotHeresrsly]

Genuinely always look for this comment

[@commaJim]

Jason!!!! One of my favorite actors. This is gonna be great.

[@k.c.simonsen2]

I've been sorta binging this podcast because I just discovered it and of the 30 or 40 that I've watched so far, this was probably the best one. Jason's personality is so complimentary to Pete's that the questions he asks everybody seem like they were written just to ask Jason eventually because his answers and stories were the best possible responses to them. I was thoroughly engaged with this from beginning to end. Really great stuff.

[@theRandy712]

Jason gives me hope for the world. This might be my favorite episode ever, and I've listened to them ALL, JERRY! (Many multiple times). What a vulnerable honest experience.

[@ZoeAnonym]

I loved this episode! I laughed, I cried, it brought all new considerations into my brain that I would never have thought otherwise. Thank you so much for your wonderful content and bringing so many smiles :)

[@baronbayne9899]

The way he had to try and make sure Jason understood the "ill let you do a second take so you can give a better answer joke". Face palm! 😂 But such a good interview 👌

[@webkid4567]

He's just such a caring soul! He probably loathes the idea that anyone might even think he was saying something unkind or ridiculing them, so you get some overcompensation in that regard, I think

[@theJohnGaltLine]

Wow. I'm a huge Seinfeld (the show especially) fan. I rewatch the entire run at least once a year. I have to say this was a much better discussion than I expected. That's not a diss on either person involved. The contrary in fact. Very entertaining, enlightening, and emotionally invested discussion. Thanks to you both.

[@radiokarla]

This is one of the sweetest and most funny conversations I have heard in a while. Thanks for this!

[@neilfordrichmond9601]

This is awesome, Pete! I am going to watch this many more times.

[@SidewaysIsDead]

what an enlightening listen. i LEARNED so much. about self-improvement, acting, and everything in between. this deserves 10x as many views. thanks Pete, and thank you Jason!

[@scottrolstonmusic368]

Really good. So many fresh perspectives on so many things we all go through.

[@ERICBOND2222]

This was the best ! so much insightful knowledge that I can directly adopt . Thanks guys!

[@luciwaves]

Lovely! Best laugh story ever!

[@phenixprofit6809]

These just keep getting better! Thank you and anyone that helps..this pod has become an absolute joy and staple! Love you guys! Marvelous episode 👏

[@GerbilDrip]

I feel like I just received a free therapy session through the wisdom shared in this episode. Definitely some insights i'll be taking with me

[@swimmerdude680]

There's the classic question: "If you could have dinner with any [insert number of people] person/people alive or dead, who would you choose?" I wouldn't care who is at that table so long as Pete is there - he would top my list every time. He has a way of taking charge of a conversation in a way that makes his guests comfortably vulnerable. I have enjoyed every episode of this podcast for as long as I have been listening to it and only wish that I could have at least one conversation in my life that is as profound and vulnerable as every one of these podcasts. Thank you, Pete for providing us all with these gifts.

[@violetedge83]

Jason Alexander is soft spoken, knows his stuff and passionate about teaching his craft. I appreciate his performance of George Costanza so much more now... Jeremy Piven could never

[@kendalladams7062]

Thank you jason alexander!

[@dylbot6218]

Pete's joy in this ep is amazing

[@erintheokay]

I liked him as George but I respect him so much as Jason Alexander. That part about being a good person if you don't like who you are but are working on it? I needed that one right now.

[@NuttyMongrel]

Not someone I ever expected to be on the podcast. Can't wait to watch it!

[@mattcarp81]

Thoughts?

[@dancoyle6911]

Peter, I’m sure you’ve already considered this, but you’ve wanted Seinfeld on the pod for years and you now have a gentleman who definitely has Seinfeld’s number in his phone…

[@MerelyPassingThrough]

Hmm, not sure about this. Seinfeld doesn't seem to have an earnest bone in his body. Edit: for public consumption at least

[@dancoyle6911]

@@MerelyPassingThrough oh I know. I have my own opinions of jerry, but I know Pete has looked up to him in his comedy journey and has talked about him being a “dream guest” along with Ryan gosling.

[@Alex-wl7ws]

@@jaredgregory3075 Jerry was on the late Norm McDonald’s podcast.

[@bernlin2000]

Has Seinfeld literally done any podcasts? This is the first I've seen "George" on a podcast since the Kevil Pollack chat show, years ago

[@bernlin2000]

@@jaredgregory3075 "Comedian in Cars" is pretty much a fancy podcast, so not sure what you mean by this. Seinfeld doesn't come across as an elitist to me, although he's obvious an elite person...one of the richest comedians on the planet. Not sure what people want from him, he's already given so much.

[@tosvus]

"As close to happy as Larry's gonna get". Priceless :D

Halfway through and absolutely loving this episode, thank you Pete and Jason!

A hall-of-fame episode for sure. I knew Jason Alexander was hilarious, of course, but I had no idea he was _this_ cool.

[@alba7or]

Oh my god, yes! Let's goo, can't wait to dive in. LOVE Jason.

[@SebastianOwlMusic]

Long story short. I listen (And re-listen) to podcasts to fall asleep. With this one I find myself so enthralled I always make it to the ghost encounter story and get scared and have to turn on the light. I'm 32

[@wes_tank]

Wow! Amazing episode. That was the best “hardest you’ve ever laughed” story ever.

[@starchamberlain]

Finally found this podcast! Love ya both! Thanks a million.

[@travisk4215]

It’s so nice seeing consciousness expand. I saw someone ask Jason once what film he wished he could have been an actor in and his answer was ‘Network.’ Jason is a smart guy.

[@adamdooley8977]

Just found the channel! Love it so far. Though I only had time for the commercials.

[@swiftdog49er51]

They would be great on stage together or skit comedy would be limitless!!! This podcast is so chill, I love it.

[@mikesharpsongs]

I was waiting for my kid in a hair salon when I came upon Jason Alexander's interview in Money magazine. I had only seen him in Seinfeld and like one movie at that point and it gave me a terrible personal impression of him; because he's quite a good actor. But in that article he completely changed my perspective of him. Particularly, his thoughts on fame and success. Very humble and reasonable dude; props

[@steele41]

What a great interview

[@christysdeals4u]

[@franceshampel54]

I've been a fan for many years...still can't believe how much he looks, acts and talks like John Ritter.

[@JustOneAsbesto]

I dunno, I kinda feel like Jason Alexander HAS written the book on Larry David; it was just printed in a very unusual format.

[@jamesflanagan7693]

And somewhere in New York today, George Costanza is ready that book while sitting on the toilet in the book store! 😂😂😂

[@kgaumont]

Pete is so shocked at the idea of Jerry Seinfeld smoking a cigar, I think he would literally die if he found out about Jerry dating a 17-year-old high schooler

[@petiewheat82]

When someone like Jerry dates a 17 year old, it isn't about abusing the young person, its about having the experience he never had back when he was young...a longing for love and acceptance that had to be forestalled for decades. I don't judge him for this, especially considering the standards of the time and looking back through history, with all the royalty and their "child wives" through the ages. I'm sure he was hoping to fall in love and everything that happened was consensual. Nowadays, we have all agreed that because of the power dynamic, even 19 year olds must be treated as children who aren't capable of knowing their own minds...and with the hypnosis of the screen-time information age, I guess that might be an accurate way to judge young adults of the modern era.

[@nathankafchinski1883]

I love how they were talking about the great ending to the Seinfeld episode and then the podcast had a great ending. Pete’s “You’re serious, orange juice” callback was next level

[@JustOneAsbesto]

I figured he'd be an interesting person. I was very pleasantly surprised. He's remarkably genuine. Sort of off-topic, but something Jerry said on Norm's podcast has always stuck with me: 'People don't have to like your characters. They just have to like the world.' I've always found that really insightful, and I think it can go the other way too, but it's changed the way I watch TV ever since.
