Listen to the Podcast: Rob Cesternino and Akiva Wienerkur continue their journey to watch every Seinfeld episode as they discuss Season 6, Episode 13, “The Scofflaw.” Seinfeld Post Show Recaps: The Scofflaw Rob Cesternino and Akiva Wienerkur are no scofflaws, as they continue to bring a new Seinfeld recap each and every week.  This week they break down “The Scofflaw”, which first aired January 26, 1995 as part of season six.  The episode was written by friend of the podcast Peter Mehlman. News – Rob wanted to remind the listeners not to dilly dally, and send in voicemails for next week’s podcast by visiting postshowrecaps.com/voicemail for their own 100th episode retrospective.  Akiva had a bit of other news to share.  Jon Lovitz, who played Gary in this episode, recently posted on social media how he was dating a much younger woman, but it turned out to be an April fools joke. Lastly, Rob shared how Garry Shandling, a good friend of Jerry’s, passed away last week. Jerry’s story – Jerry has very little to do with this episode. George shares how their old friend Gary had cancer, but Jerry had already known, and didn’t share with George because he has no poker face.  When George proves he has no poker face with the Gary not having cancer secret, Jerry agrees to not tell Gary he knows until George can get the parking space Gary promised him.  When Gary rescinds the spot, George gives Jerry permission to let Gary have it about lying about the cancer. George’s story – George bumps into an old college friend of his and Jerry named Gary.  Gary lets George know he hasn’t been around because he’s been battling cancer, but offers George a great deal on a covered parking spot, so George forgives him.  George immediately tells Jerry about Gary, but he’d already known.  Later on, Gary shares to George that he actually did not have cancer, but he has to keep it a secret.  The next time he sees Jerry, Jerry immediately notices George’s poker face, getting him to spill the secret. George also is intrigued by the toupee that Jerry paid for Gary to get, thinking he might want to get fitted for one himself, since Gary was now showing so much confidence.  While getting fitted, Jerry is there, mocking him mercilessly, thinking he looks ridiculous, but George decides to give it a try anyway.  When an attractive woman at Monk’s sees him, she looks interested, adding to his confidence. Elaine’s story – Elaine takes exception to Kramer telling old boyfriend Jake Jarmel that she said hi, not wanting to relinquish the upper hand in the post relationship.  She goes down to the book signing just to explain she did not say hi, which Jake takes as a bigger sign that she hasn’t let go.  Still angry about this, she notices a man wearing glasses like Jake’s, so she quickly asks to buy them, just so she can rub it in Jake’s face, since he didn’t want to share where he got them with Kramer.  After rubbing it in to Jake, she bumps into Mr. Lippman, and decides to give him the glasses when admired them, in an effort to keep in Lippman’s mind for a possible job.  Jake would later notice Lippman with the glasses, and starts a fight to wrestle the glasses away, ending any chance for Elaine to land a job from Lippman.    Kramer’s story – Kramer accidentally calls a police officer a pig when yelling it at a driver throwing garbage out their window.  He is also in search of a new look, and when visiting Jake Jarmel at a book signing, takes a liking to his glasses, but Jake won’t share where he got them. Later on he explains to the cop why he yelled pig, noticing the cop’s eye patch,
