Seinfeld: The Implant | Episode 59 Recap Podcast

Listen to the Podcast: Rob Cesternino and Akiva Wienerkur continue their journey to watch every Seinfeld episode as they discuss Season 4, Episode 19, “The Implant.” Rob Cesternino and Akiva Wienerkur always make sure to talk into your good ear when they bring you a new Seinfeld recap each week. This week they break down “The Implant”, which first aired February 25, 1993 as part of season four. In the current Seinfeld news, the show celebrated it’s 26th anniversary this past week. Also the Brooklyn Cyclones had their second annual Seinfeld Night, where they renamed the stadium Kramerica Industries Park for the night. Kenny Kramer and Bania showed up for the festivities, where there were puffy shirts, a Constanza trash eating contest, and soup from the Soup Nazi, among other things. Rob had a question from the Seinfeld Scene box for Akiva that somewhat tied into the current episode, and Akiva answered without a problem upping his record to 2-1. Jerry’s opening standup is a bit about the health club that sort of contradicts what he does in the episode. The episode starts with Jerry and Sidra at the gym having a flirty conversation. Rob and Akiva pointed out the outfits at this gym clearly wouldn’t hold up in 2015. Elaine wanders up shortly after Sidra walks off, quick to point out to Jerry that she thinks Sidra’s breasts are fake, and wonders why Jerry’s interested in her since she thought he was a “leg man”. Jerry is concerned by this revelation, asking Elaine to confirm this for him in the locker room, because he wouldn’t want to date her if they are fake. Rob and Akiva couldn’t believe that any man would be so strongly against this. Elaine tells Jerry to just find out for himself after a few more dates, but Jerry describes how George is how he’s had nine dates with Betsy (played by Megan Mullally) but can’t really get things going, partly because he can never seem to sit on her right side when getting intimate, since he needs to go to his left. In the next scene, George is at Betsy’s apartment, trying to position himself on the couch so he can be on her right, but she also needs to be on the right because of her poor hearing in her right ear. George goes as far as shoving her to the left in order to get his spot, but is a problem since she now can’t hear what he’s saying. When the phone rings, George tries to convince her not to answer it, saying it’s can’t be an emergency, however it ends up being one, as Betsy learns that her aunt died. While in the sauna, Elaine notices Sidra take off her towel, convincing Elaine that they are fake. Back at Jerry’s, she confirms her findings, which causes Jerry to want to be out on the relationship. Kramer comes in, sharing how he thinks he saw Salman Rushdie at the gym. The scene cuts to Jerry, Kramer and George in the sauna. They are convincing George to go to the funeral with Betsy, since he could be the consolation guy, which is worth like 10 dates in one. George is lamenting the cost of traveling, but they figure out he can get a death in the family discount, so he’s going to do it. In the next scene, Elaine is back in the sauna, where Sidra is talking with someone else about how Jerry broke it off with her to get back together with his mentally ill ex-girlfriend. Elaine can’t help but chime in, asking further questions. When Sidra asks to shake Elaine’s hand, Elaine trips as she is walking over, her hands falling straight into Sidra’s breasts. Back at Jerry’s, Elaine now shares that she thinks the breast are real, after accidentally touching them. Akiva wondered if Elaine planned this, but Rob felt that this was merely an accident, and Elaine had concluded the operation prior. Jerry is not so sure he can trust Elaine’s opinion on this,
