Larry calls Joe. Joe's had a long day, is busy. Larry complains that | |||
Joe talks about himself; Joe says the same about Larry - they argue. | |||
Larry tells the joke contrasting California agents with NY agents. | |||
3:20: Gregory Poe tells Joe about his success as a | |||
fashion designer beginning at age 20. A Japanese company hired him to | |||
design for them. They worked him hard; he took speed to keep up; he | |||
hallucinated. He felt exploited. | |||
8:30: Joe tells Larry his fantasy about shooting himself.<ref>'So I | |||
was thinking of going down and purchasing a hand gun - this is my | |||
latest fantasy - bring it back in my house - and you know I'm terribly | |||
afraid of death but at the same time I just don't want to keep on | |||
thinking. The idea is to fire off rounds into my lawn and then | |||
quickly - maybe having drunk a half a bottle of vodka or something - | |||
then turn the gun on myself to just take a quick shot.'</ref> | |||
9:50: Gregory Poe tells Joe about the show in NY that went well but | |||
the company closed 6 weeks later. | |||
10:50: Jack Kornfield talks about family pain. He says spiritual | |||
communities attract people with family pain; they hope that spiritual | |||
life will cure it; he says it may not. | |||
14:30: Larry tells Joe about a psychologist, Portia, who made sexual | |||
advances to him, so they disengaged; she recommended that Larry see her | |||
therapist. (Larry describes himself as | |||
'young, muscular, and fancy-free', which tickles Joe.) Larry ended up | |||
having sex with her daughter, Carol. (They met when Larry was '31 or | |||
32' (1973-5) and she was 14.) 4 years later they made love. (Larry | |||
says it was 'mid-'70s - 76, 77'.) | |||
21:10: Joe tells Larry about a very old therapist he saw, who listened | |||
through headphones, the patients on a mic. | |||
22:00: Larry tells Joe what he's drinking. | |||
23:30: Joe tells Larry what he's drinking. He drank during dinner at | |||
his mother's.<ref>It seems she's living in Santa Monica.</ref> | |||
24:10: Larry recurs to the summer he did <i>Comedy of errors</i> in | |||
Central Park.<ref>1975</ref> He brags about the 3 beautiful women he | |||
had affairs with that summer.<ref>Joe asks if they're recognizable | |||
names. Larry says, 'One readily, the second not-so-readily, and the | |||
third is a professor of theatre at Rutgers - and she'd be the one I'd | |||
probably go to if the three of them came back to me again... Within 1 | |||
week I had sexual romance with these 3 beautiful women.'</ref> | |||
27:00: Larry describes his trip to see Portia's therapist. He brags | |||
about how great he looked in his 'farmer jeans'<ref>I think he means | |||
overalls.</ref> and Birkenstocks. Riding a bicycle through | |||
Central Park 4 Hassids invite him to lay | |||
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tefillin tefillin] and pray with them. | |||
Later he told this story to a lover, which stimulated her. She had | |||
her own phylacteries, had Larry wrap her up in them. | |||
34:30: Joe tells Larry he knows couples who make love wrapped up in a | |||
Torah. Larry talks about the expensive Torahs wealthy Jews buy. | |||
36:00: Jack Kornfield talks about people gathering to pray, that | |||
community is necessary to spiritual life. He tells the story of the | |||
rabbi who asks his students how to know when night has ended.<ref>originally aired in [[Karma (Part 6)]]</ref> | |||
38:30: Gregory Poe tells Joe about finding a drunk guy | |||
passed out underneath his truck. He asked his drunk buddies to get | |||
the guy out. When he got back from work they gave him a goat. | |||
40:50: Larry tells Joe that Jolly and Zoë 'persecuted' him for | |||
his drinking. They kick him out; he stays at this other apartment he | |||
has for the night, returns during the day. | |||
42:30: Kornfield talks about how difficult family life can be. | |||
43:40: Larry finally arrives at the session with Portia's therapist. | |||
She objects to Larry's outfit, refuses to see him. | |||

friend in NY called him, asked him to take care of her mother, who | |||
lived in Laguna. He ended up committing her because she was | |||
incompetent, describes the mess in her house. He cleaned up, | |||
renovated, and sold her house for a good price. | |||
50:50: Kornfield says the awakened heart does not judge, deals with | |||
pain and suffering. | |||
53:30: Larry leaves a humorous message on his answering machine. | |||
54:20: Kornfield tells the story of a military officer, impatient with | |||

neighbor. | |||
