Curbcast is back with a special edition as Clay and Dursin break down the 1999 Curb Your Enthusiasm pilot—the mockumentary TV movie that launched 25 years of Larry David being Larry David. We dive into LD’s return to stand-up, HBO’s ridiculous theater-in-the-round stage concepts, Jeff’s mistress complications, and why Larry insists on nodding at Black people in hallways. It’s Seinfeld without network censors, laying the fascinating groundwork for every awkward encounter to come. We discuss whether the pilot holds up, the "tú" form struggle, and why Larry didn't get caught in the stepfather lie. Pretty, pretty, pretty good stuff!
