== Synopsis ==
== Synopsis ==
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 Zo&euml; '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.
46:20: Gregory Poe tells Joe that he gave up on fashion.  A
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
a customer in front of him at the supermarket, who showed her baby to
the cashier, who cooed over him.
55:50: Kornfield describes the practice of loving god by loving your
neighbor.
