The Sponge (S7E9)

But I Don't Wanna Be A Secondary Character! A Seinfeld Podcast

This week Ivan and Stephen refuse to wear AIDS ribbons and relabel their jeans size labels as they talk about the secondary characters from Season 7’s The Sponge.

Topics covered include discovering another niche Seinfeld podcast, the history of Today sponges, and now classic shows being on network television (‘Free To Air’) late at night in Australia; Seinfeldisms (from 3:25), Seinfeld News (from 6:49), episode trivia (from 16:22); secondary characters Lena (from 22:24), Billy (from 30:05), Susan (from 38:36) and Bob and Cedric (from 41:05) in this episode, and the Pharmacist (from 43:52).

Where will the episode and/or any of the secondaries appear in our list of the greatest episodes and characters of all time? Listen and find out!
