Hip GAF, is "lampin" a real thing?
Did they show exactly what Larry texted Richard Lewis? Did my brain shut off? How did I miss this?

The opener with Larry trying to get the twist bottle open then breaking it - my life summed up.
Extremely excited for this! At what time does the episode go live in the US?
I've got a HBO Nordic account, and we always get the shows one, or two/three days later than the US airing. (Sometimes Late Night With John Oliver can take several days to get uploaded to HBO Nordic, and by then I've already seen the cut version that gets uploaded to Youtube)

First half was hilarious, didn't enjoy the Kimmel bit as much because it didn't seem particularly plausible (that all the news networks would cover it) and kinda low-hanging fruit.

The asshole dial was tuned way up that first episode, whereas often I can somewhat empathize and laugh with Larry's arguments(even if I disagree), it didn't work out that way like at all here.
Still, the structure was classic Curb and it is great to have a new season all the same.
Jeff Garlin had been suggesting in interviews that this season would be nuts.I feel the same way. Usually, Larry's good intentions get misunderstood and taken as rude. This one, he was just straight up asshole. It's funny and everything, but it was different from what I'm used to in Curb. I did love his and Richard Lewis's back-and-forth.
Also, if this is to be the overarching plot for the season, it seems pretty zany. Maybe that's just me? Almost all of the season-long plots have been pretty grounded: opening a restaurant, preparing for a Broadway musical, writing the Seinfeld reunion, finding out who his biological father is, Richard Lewis needing a kidney, etc. But him offending the ayatollah and having to go into hiding? Seems a bit out there.
I still enjoyed the episode and I'm sure I'll enjoy the season, but it's just not what I was expecting.

Ah ok. Aside from the teaser-trailer, I had avoided everything about this season cause I wanted to go in blind, so I hadn't expected this.
The thing with Larry is that we worked hard to make these surprises be surprising and he doesn't like people who ruin a surprise party. So that was the biggest thing. It wasn't about ratings. He just wanted people to enjoy the show the way he wanted them to enjoy the show.
But this is also a guy who will run out of a movie with his hands over his ears if there is a trailer for a movie that he wants to see. He takes it to the extreme!

Was anyone else surprised that Jeff and Susies kid is old enough to get married? Seems like only yesterday she was playing with dolls with Larry.

I don't think he's saying that it's unbelievable. It's just zany.Is this a truth is stranger than fiction thing? It literally happened. Salman Rushdie literally wrote a totally innocuous book, got a Fatwa against him, and had to have round the clock security for a decade. I find it hard to believe an actual true story could be too zany to be real

That said, Larry also had a black family move in with him for an entire season. That was pretty zany. The Fatwa plot just has a different feel because it's serious, life or death.
Wait, Cheryl Hines is 52? No way.
