About Seinfeld:
Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life's most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as "a show about nothing," Seinfeld mines the humor in life's mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer.

Kramer leaves him the only pair of shoes that would actually need cobbling repair

[@boozerverif]

jerry wearing cowboy boots ties the whole Midnight Cowboy joke together

[@stephenb2276]

A ha... there's the joke. Thank you

[@spartanq7781]

I never picked up on that.😮

*that can receive cobbling repair

Kramer immediately throwing Jerry under the bus...."Well, he's got a Peter Pan complex" 🤣🤣🤣

[@tomservo5007]

To "throw (someone) under the bus" is an idiomatic phrase in English meaning to blame or abandon a person for selfish reasons.

[@bossfan49]

Maybe Kramer gave Mom and Pop Jerry's number so they could call him when his sneakers were ready.

[@12classics39]

He probably called to confirm if the sneakers really were Jerry’s.
