Seinfeld Episode 9 (Season 7) - The Sponge

Seinfeld Episode 9 (Season 7) Summery: “Elaine panics when she learns that her favorite birth control device is going off the market. She now must determine if her boyfriend is “spongeworthy.” Jerry dates a woman whose number number he gets off an AIDS Walk list. Kramer refuses to wear the ribbon at the AIDS Walk and suffers the consequences.”

Original air date: December 7, 1995

This week on a very special episode of Cartwright! A Seinfeld Podcast, Adam and Corey discuss birth control (insert melodramatic music like the kind in those after school specials). Mostly they just talk about how very little they know or understand about the female body lol! By this point you know what you’re getting with Cartwright! ;)

Jokes aside, is the term “spongeworthy” one of the biggest contributions this show made to the zeitgeist? We imagine you can argue for “yadda yadda yadda” but that was already a phrase. Spongeworthy is a word mash-up completely unique to Seinfeld and yet even non-fans get it. Let us know what you think on our Patreon page in the comments of this episode.

ATENTION: The next episode (The Gum) will be Patreon exclusive!
