Jeff Garlin joins and he and Tim discuss mask-wearing as a matter of respect, the upcoming Curb season addressing the pandemic, and comparing Tim's comedic strengths in political commentary to Jeff's more personal comedic style.
- Tim wore masks religiously during the pandemic and continues to wear them out of respect for others even though he doesn't have to.
- Jeff argues that people didn't understand businesses needed mask guidelines to open, regardless of whether the rules made sense.
- Someone will eventually make a documentary or book about the pandemic that will be met with eye rolls and apathy.
- Jeff has pandemic jokes in his stand-up act but figures he has another month or two before they stop landing.
- Curb Your Enthusiasm isn't doing pandemic storylines because the fall release date means nobody wants to relive that period.
- Jeff acknowledges he's different from other comics because reading the New York Times makes him depressed rather than funny.
- Jeff limits his comedy material to his own life rather than pointing out hypocrisies in the world, which he's not naturally good at.
