We know you’re all waiting impatiently for the new season of HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” this summer, and so are we. Which is why the good folks at the Rich Eisen Podcast have been kind enough to whet your appetite with a very special Curb edition of the show. On Thursday’s podcast -– both here on NFL.com and on the televised version to air on NFL Network Thursday at 10 p.m. ET –- Eisen will talk to Curb stars Larry David, Jeff Garlin, J.B. Smoove and Bob Einstein. It promises to be a laugh riot. And if you don’t believe us, here’s a sneak peek.
