Added DiffLines:

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer:
** Jerry feels left out because his girlfriend Jodi, who is a masseuse, does not give him a massage, like she did, for instance, to Kramer. He compares this to going to Idaho and eating carrots (as an analogy to sex) instead of potatoes (because Idaho potatoes are famous in the United States).
** Jodi does not like George, after they went to dinner and he did a joke about WomenDrivers. He tries to make it up by helping her carry her work material (after giving Kramer a massage at his house) but he blows it by proposing going on a DoubleDate with and telling Jodi to tell her sister hi for him (he doesn't know Jodi's sister).
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Kramer implicitly compares Jodi's massage to sex. This further annoys Jerry and he forbids Kramer from having any more massages with her.
* NamesTheSame: Elaine's boyfriend has the same name as SerialKiller [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Rifkin Joel Rifkin]], which causes them a lot of discomfort when Kramer wants his tickets and Rifkin's name is blurted out via the stadium's megaphones.
