GEORGE: See, this should be a show. This is the show.
JERRY: What?
GEORGE: This. Just talking.
JERRY: Yeah, right.
GEORGE: I’m really serious. I think that’s a good idea.
JERRY: Just talking? Well what’s the show about?
GEORGE: It’s about nothing.
JERRY: No story?
GEORGE: No, forget the story.
JERRY: You’ve got to have a story.
GEORGE: Who says you gotta have a story? Remember when we were waiting for that table in that Chinese restaurant that time? That could be a TV show.
JERRY: I still don’t know what the idea is.
GEORGE: It’s about nothing.

Nothing says it better than that about Seinfeld — possibly the greatest television sitcom ever. On this episode of the What We Watch When We Drink podcast, Seinfeld gets a thorough once over from the Boozedancing Gang and our very special guest, Dawn Davies, head buyer of The Whisky Exchange, and noted Seinfeld superfan.

We chat about Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer over whisky, rum, and even pisco! Sit back, relax, pour yourself a drink, and listen in as we “Yadda yadda yadda!” over five classic Seinfeld episodes about nothing, which is really something, like when you find an escaped sock from the dryer that’s been on the lam, hiding in the underwear drawer.
