This is the New Yorker Radio Hour, a co-production of W NYC Studios and the New Yorker.

Welcome to the New Yorker Radio Hour, I'm David Remnick.

Dr Remnick, sir, you really, really look like a doctor.

Doesn't he look like a doctor?

I do.

If he walks, I'm your cardiologist.

You would just feel so calm. yes I feel I'm in good

hands Jerry it's nothing to work take a few tests oh you got the tone you know that

voice or I think you do, but for the record,

it's Jerry Seinfeld, who came by our studios recently

so he could determine, as my mother once did,

that I should have been a doctor. So, let's go on with you with melody.

I mean, I know you're not getting married.

Seinfeld was famously, this show about nothing,

or maybe not nothing exactly, but we kind of broke up.

About very small, very petty things and

the ludicrous amount of mental energy we expend on it.

You know we were having dinner the other night and she's got the strangest habit.

She eats her peas one at a time.

You've never seen anything like it. It takes her like an hour to finish them.

I mean we've had dinner other times. I've seen her eat corn nibblets but she scooped them.

She scooped the nibblets. Yes. That's what was so vexing.
