Why is my sound going out? Uh-oh, can you hear? There we go. Okay, go ahead.
SmartLess
"Larry David"
It's... It's a show about people with more balls than a bowling alley. Sure. It's people who have achieved great things while thumbing their nose at naysayers, established thought, failure, personal safety, and gravity.

"Larry David"
Well, that's what led you to leave, ultimately, one of the things, right? You were 28?

"Larry David"
Oh, Southern Baptist. It was intense. Oh, that's right. I knew that. Yeah. That's right. Was it hardcore? Yeah. Well, I didn't realize how intense it was at the time. But, you know, it's not like the Pentecostals who handle snakes. But, you know, in Southern Baptist, you're not supposed to dance or, you know. But my parents didn't believe in it.

"Larry David"

"Larry David"
I was at home watching it live, and it was like I had tears going down my cheeks like the end of Old Yeller because it was such an amazing moment and so memorable. Yeah, I was blown away. You think that's the biggest moment of your career? Moment that the world felt what I felt.

"Larry David"
