Larry David Lends His Expertise on Awkward Social Situations | The Rich Eisen Show | 10/17/17

[@littleripper312]

Totally agree with the weddings. I've been asked to fly to different countries for weddings and close friends have been shocked that I won't go. It's a lot of money and time and then on top of that, I don't really like weddings that much.

[@jjjuhg]

60% will divorce anyway

[@JonathanAllen0379]

@@jjjuhg More like 75-80%. The bigger the wedding, the shorter the marriage.

[@ryancalhoun2910]

@jcorb I'm with you, but not only that, but I would drop the friend permanently if they invited me to one. Just what you said, the self centerdness is insane to do something like that.

[@jenn976]

No way am I getting on a plane for a wedding. But I’m lucky to not have friends who would do that.

[@JVTrickypants]

The speed of his "An hour and a half by car" is the best comedic timing I've ever heard.

[@dancingvirgil]

Every answer he gives is 100% correct

This guy is no different in real life than he is on the show....lol

[@jane987]

Because most can relate.

[@wemartin12]

Haha... "a trip to Europe costs $15,000"... says a guy who hasn't flown coach or stayed in a 3-star hotel in a long, long time.

[@bennyhath1789]

He's "coachy"

[@littleripper312]

Of course, why would you be in a cheap hotel and cheap seat if you're rich

[@Jake-be9ji]

Actually, he has flown coach not too long ago... you can find a clip of it on KZbin.

[@anow2]

Just because he has money doesn't mean he's not cheap. Lol, you got a weird worldview op.

[@DIVISIONINCISION]

@@anow2 Exactly. The way to retain wealth is to spend it wisely.

[@deadheadwsp705]

I just love how they asked Larry whether or not you bring a gift to an out of country wedding. He didnt even answer that question, he just said “don’t go”. This man is absolutely hilarious and I can’t explain why. Any other person saying that I wouldn’t find nearly as funny

[@emanuelmota7217]

I think it's because Larry absolutely MEANS what he says - he's not saying things to be funny, he just HAPPENS to be funny because he says what we're all thinking but don't have the balls to say out loud (or it goes against current societal taboos). Ex - Larry refusing to say "thank you for your service" to a young soldier when everyone else at that family gathering already said that to him. VERY funny (AND Larry has a point, as usual).

[@kevindurham]

Larry David is the best comedy writer ever, period!!

[@kevinalford2165]

Pure genius

[@mencken8]

It is fascinating how he has made a hit comedy out of just bluntly saying what most people think, but find inappropriate, or equivocate about, or try to squirm out of.

[@soonieoonie]

Larry's laugh at destination weddings is exactly the laugh I made when I was invited to one. Also, it reminded me of the Seinfeld episode when Elaine goes to Sue Ellen Mischke's wedding in India out of spite. That's probably the only reason I'd go too.

[@jamesrawlins735]

It also reminds me of George when Jerry told him he had tickets to the Super Bowl: Jerry: You take them George: You paying my hotel and airfare to Miami? So in order to use these I gotta spend $1,500 bucks. This is a bill for $1,500.

[@JQAsCrustyNightSock]

My self-esteem is so low that I'd map the coordinates out and place my wedding dead center of the mean location of everyone invited. That's my destination wedding.

[@peterporker7803]

Larry is a Classic and 100% agree with his advice!!!

[@cowabungakev]

Rich constantly feeling like he is in a episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm during this interview.

[@robrick9361]

0:40 But he went to Mexico for Mickey's wedding.

[@zoom-jx3so]

Because he flew private and got a chance to be with his ex wife without new man (or so he thought)

[@nnmartin94]

he was "led to believe it would be a good time" haha

[@stewiegilligangriffin4904]

[@ghillepig2]

[@rikjamesguitare]

I agree 100%. How rude is it to decide on having a wedding in Greece and expect 150 + people to fly in? How dare they! 2 hours by car is my maximum. 3 if it's a family member or close friend.

[@marcuscicero9587]

my niece who lives in Arizona gives me an invite to my Chicago home for her wedding. I mail her a 250USD check and tell her congrats

[@MrJahka]

Still fine to do but what you’re describing isn’t really a destination wedding. That’s just being invited to a wedding by someone who lives far away

[@JVTrickypants]

Don't ever take your shoes off in public, especially in a confined space with recirculating air...

[@silvaadourian3185]

Gotta love Larry

[@JBrooksNYS]

Is it just me... or was Larry David younger 10 years ago?

[@jakeroosenbloom]

KingOfKings it's just you

[@michaelweston2285]

i used to be younger. but not so much anymore

[@leandrocabrera8442]

Of course he was younger 10 years ago

[@605highsprings]

Yeah what exactly is your point?

[@habibnsouro]

U mean older

[@KenAdams426]

Everyone of these were a seinfeld episode in one form or another.

[@jakeabc123]

True, the India wedding, marble rye, and then episode with Puddy staring at the airplane seat

[@reflection8578]

Aren’t all of these situations close to Seinfeld????

[@rustincohle2135]

Curb is basically R-rated Seinfeld.

[@richarde.halliburton8022]

Regarding the dessert (or marble rye, whatever) you brought to the party and nobody touched: I agree you can’t just take it back, but, you can say to the host, “Oh, gee, nobody had a bite of the _____ I brought - do you guys like _____? If so, please keep it to enjoy later, but if not and nobody else wants to take it home, I’ll be glad to take it back.” As for weddings, destination or otherwise, I don’t go, unless it’s family. They’re much too long, I don’t enjoy eating at a big round table with 9 people I don’t know, and I hate having to watch the obligatory video montage of the bride and groom from babies up till the engagement, and then the proposal itself that was done in public and filmed, and then sit through the groom singing a song to the bride and vise versa, then the speeches, the cutting of the cake, the first dance, and the drunk uncle (there’s one at every wedding) making a fool of himself. Every wedding I’ve been to I couldn’t wait to be over. So - no more - send a gift and regrets.

[@alanrix5344]

Couldn't agree with you more about the wedding .As a matter of fact I find the whole wedding process boring and embarrassing

[@joeterp5615]

I think the default position should be that people take their leftover food home. Less for the hosts to find room for in their fridge and less food that ends up wasted and thrown away.

[@breadpirateoverhere]

All of these questions were episodes of Seinfeld or Curb

[@AnilRamcharitar]

Actually, I agree. I wouldn't want Larry D at any wedding. At some point the bride maids will be crying, or the grooms will be arguing or fighting, from interacting with LD. Or the bride of groom may change their minds at the wedding. Him not being there is a blessing in disguise....LOL!

[@cactuscosyusa]

My feeling is if you take something to a potluck and no one eats any you can ask the host if they want to keep it, and if they say no you can take it home again, but you have to ask.

[@joeterp5615]

I think it’s a service to the host bringing it home. That way they don’t need to find room for it in their fridge. I think this can save a lot of food from eventually getting thrown away too.

[@cmmmmmmmw]

This is far too short. I could listen to a six-hour version of this game.

[@maulekuul]

The world needs Larry Davids to keep the moochers in check.

[@lamrof]

Speaking of shoes off Odor on planes, I stand here to tell you that God is my witness you have not smelled a more offensive stench that this guy introduced me to. Holy Jesus, I am a manly guy and I can handle a stench or two but this dude was a straight from hell. I had to get up and find whatever available seat in another row to save my life.

[@emansnas]

Manly guy huh... so why didn't you make it clear *he* should get up and find whatever available seat in another row... to save *his* life

[@sugarraybow]

Wow $20.000 for the flight and $15.000 for the hotel. But yeah of course when you own millions and get more and more every month then i guess $35.000 isn't that much for a trip. However he implied it is kinda crazy and not worth to go to a wedding.

[@jackprescott9652]

Actually i agree with him in the 3 situations.

[@marcuscicero9587]

Larry "always the weasel" if you think you're not gonna get caught, take it.

[@atmavictu2995]

You don't stay 14 hours on a plane with your shoes on, it is unhealthy. You put on the socks provided by the airline and make sure you are nice and clean and respectful.

[@SeekanDestroy03]

Man LD is the King. Reminds me of a less angry Jewish Bill Burr 😂

Love him. Don't like his politics. He follows Hollywood but he's very talented

[@Tsumami__]

Ehhhh that depends about the destination wedding. If it’s in the Bahamas and you live in Florida, it’s not only not far but not too expensive either. And as far as Europe, yeah if you’re going to Italy or something it may cost a lot - not $15,000, Larry is seriously out of touch here. I’m a spoiled brat and I wouldn’t spend more than 10,000 on a complete trip to Italy. - but there are quite a few places out of the country that aren’t pricey at all. I’m JUST saying

[@xjimmy225x]

If you have to take time off of work to go then its too far. If you can make it to the bahamas for a wedding and be back to work on Monday then sure, lucky you, otherwise not going

[@Starpotion]

Yeah I’m not sure where he got the 15k, it’s obviously expensive but even as hyperbole it’s nowhere near that much

[@flatplant]

meh the Bahamas suck tbh

[@3rdEarlRussell]

You can got to Italy for a couple of weeks for some 2.5k. You can even live about a month and a half there and travel around in Italy for around 4.5k. Source: I’ve done it a couple of times, on my own money and am not wealthy at all.
