**Spike Feresten** (0:00)
You don't watch TV anymore, do you?

**Jerry Seinfeld** (0:01)
No, never.

**Spike Feresten** (0:02)
So this is what you're doing instead of watching, say, The Penguin.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (0:06)
Where can I get this? How many channels do I have to flip around to find this? I can't watch these actors reading lines on a set. What are you doing?

**Spike Feresten** (0:14)
You're one of them.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (0:15)
Yes, I'm one of them.

**Spike Feresten** (0:21)
Welcome to Spike's Car Radio. Now with Faces in 4K, we've got a couple of...

**Jerry Seinfeld** (0:26)
I could have got my car in the background if he had pulled up a little.

**Spike Feresten** (0:29)
We've had a nice complaining session going on here with Jerry Seinfeld and Zuckerman. We've got a terrific show. This is our very first video show.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (0:38)
We don't know yet.

**Spike Feresten** (0:39)
Do you guys know that you guys were on the very first show? 2014, June 14th, 2017, you and I and Zuckerman congregated at the Malibu Kitchen for the very first episode of Spike's Car Radio.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (0:54)
Wow.

**Spike Feresten** (0:54)
And I wanted to have you guys back for this one because it's a really special one.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (1:00)
That's really nice.

**Spike Feresten** (1:01)
Now, you've got something to say about podcast. What?

**Jerry Seinfeld** (1:04)
The problem with the podcast is the microphone. You see these people, I see them, I see the community. They're in these lazy boys and they're just like this. And they're just talking into the bike and they're this. I don't like the lack of movement, but these move nice. So we can move around.

**Spike Feresten** (1:21)
You ever see those people who have to talk loud into the cell phone? They're like, well, you know, yeah, I'll be right down there. I'm on a cell phone. I have to yell.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (1:29)
Spike, a speakerphone. People yell into the speaker. Yeah, yeah.

**Spike Feresten** (1:34)
You don't have to do that here. It's very nice microphones. Everything's been upgraded.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (1:37)
Where did you get that drink?

**Spike Feresten** (1:39)
You want one?

**Jerry Seinfeld** (1:39)
Yeah.

**Mike Zuckerman** (1:40)
Jack, would you get him one?

**Spike Feresten** (1:41)
That's what Jack's function is. So Jack Feresten is here.

**Mike Zuckerman** (1:44)
He's our cue card reader.

**Spike Feresten** (1:46)
Our gopher. We've got a little drink. Go ahead, just bring it in. There you go. There goes young Jack.

**Mike Zuckerman** (1:53)
He assesses everything.

**Spike Feresten** (1:54)
We haven't figured.

**Mike Zuckerman** (1:57)
What has he given me over here? Hmm. Does it meet my specification?

**Jerry Seinfeld** (2:03)
That's how I make a living.

**Spike Feresten** (2:05)
We haven't figured out how to integrate the cigars in food yet.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (2:08)
That's the one piece we don't quite know.

**Spike Feresten** (2:10)
That's great.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (2:10)
I didn't feel like you guys had that part figured out.

**Spike Feresten** (2:13)
We haven't figured it out. We don't think we're going to smoke cigars in here either. We don't think this is a smoking environment.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (2:18)
Why not?

**Mike Zuckerman** (2:19)
If he wants to for him, for later. And what eventually if this really takes off, I will in the roof get a big exhaust fan. It's got to be silent though if we're going to do this, if he's going to smoke or you're going to smoke on camera. You okay? He's breaking everything. There was a problem with podcast.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (2:41)
This is the problem.

**Spike Feresten** (2:43)
Tighten up the swively thing there. Have you never been on TV before, sir? I don't understand.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (2:48)
Not like this. Is this TV now? I want out.

**Spike Feresten** (2:53)
I think this is all that's left of TV. Anyway, we're excited to be here for this next chapter.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (2:58)
Yeah.

**Spike Feresten** (2:59)
Largely due to you guys showing up. I just wanted to thank you to start the show up. You guys have been great. We love having you on this show.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (3:06)
We've loved being on the show. We made the show.

**Spike Feresten** (3:08)
You made the show. You couldn't do the show without you guys.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (3:12)
No, we are the essence of the show. I see you have these other individuals that when we're not here.

**Spike Feresten** (3:19)
Yes.

**Jerry Seinfeld** (3:19)
And that's great too. But this is the show.

**Spike Feresten** (3:24)
Well, let's start with you. It's been a while since we've gotten together with you out here. You haven't been out here for a long time. What's going on?
