So David, I bought a DVD player for research for this episode. No way. Did you buy the box set. Because there is some stuff like facts about the pilot that are only available in the DVD commentary and don't exist anywhere online. So I had to go on eBay, buy a copy of the uh Seinfeld DVDs, and buy a brand new DVD player here in 2026. To view it. Do they even sell those on Amazon anywhere? They do. Sony makes'em. Uh they're like I don't know, a hundred bucks or something, but Sony, there you go. Appropriately. Distributors of Seinfeld. That's right. Alright, should we do it? Let's do it. Who got the truth?

Is it you, is it you? Who is it you who got the truth now? Is it you, is it you, is it you Down!
