Adam Carolla tells Jerry Seinfeld he recognized something on the Seinfeld set that completely ruined the show for him.
It proved the show was shot in LA, not New York.
When Seinfeld premiered in 1989, Carolla was working on earthquake retrofits in Koreatown.
The moment he saw the tension anchor plates bolted to the outside of Jerry’s apartment building, he knew, “This is not New York,” and it took him “completely out of it.”
Those plates are used to strengthen buildings against earthquakes, a common sight in California, but not in Manhattan.
CAROLLA: “I would see those tension anchor plates, the square plates on the outside of the apartment building. And I put those plates on for a living.”
“I would look at those anchor plates and I’d go, ‘This is not in New York.’”
SEINFELD: “We didn’t have guys to do earthquake rehab. We didn’t have Photoshop to get rid of them.”
Seinfeld asked how those tension plates work, and Carolla gave him a highly technical answer he wasn’t mentally prepared for.

SEINFELD: “I’m going to need some more coffee to get through this. I’m fading… You’re not the first to mention those things. And let’s move on.”
Sometimes it takes a guy who swung a hammer to see what 30 million weekly viewers missed.
One thing you don’t realize is how banked these turns are at Talladega. Video really doesn’t do it justice, feels like you are going to roll over. @jackassworld
Josh Rojas hit 1st and started at 3rd base for @OMAStormChasers noon ET game today in Columbus, playing the first 4.5 innings, going 1-3 with a double and run.
He exits in the middle of the 5th, goes to the airport and flies to Minnesota and has the go-ahead hit off the bench!
