This episode is all re-used content, from 'God only knows', 'Prayer', | |||
'A natural disaster', and 'Bible salesman'. | |||
Joe gives his account of the story of Joseph, father of Jesus, that | |||
Mary is bright and witty while Joseph is hesitant and withdrawn; he | |||
feels that Mary betrayed him with God. He becomes a drunk and a | |||
tramp. Joseph resents Jesus's success, suspects his 'miracles' are | |||
tricks, is secretly happy at the crucifixion.<ref name=knows>originally aired in [[God Only Knows]].</ref> | |||
10:50: A crazy preacher (prankster David Franks) calls up a woman, | |||
wants to conduct a séance at her house that night. <ref name=prayer>originally aired in [[Prayer]]</ref> | |||
17:00: Joe tells of Adam & Eve from Adam's point-of-view.<ref name=knows /> | |||
26:50: Crazy preacher (David Franks) calls person (sounds like | |||
a woman to me; preacher addresses him/her as 'brother'), leads him/her | |||
in a crazy prayer ('Clytemnestra's daughter ... African Eurasian tiger | |||
pussycat'...). <ref>originally aired in [[A Natural Disaster]], also used in [[Prayer]]</ref> | |||
35:20: 'I was on a raft, tied to a stake, drifting down the | |||
river...' Joe gives an account of surreal trip down the river; he sees | |||
hippos both in the river and sunning themselves on the shore, cutting | |||
a birthday cake made of tires. He sees kids hitting a piñata that | |||
looks like an old woman. He sees a newlywed couple coming out of a | |||
church; their car drives onto the sidewalk, running people over. A | |||
crowd stops the car, beats them, hangs them from lamp posts. Then they | |||
all laugh about it, bury the people they killed. He sees Jesus on | |||
waterskis, pulled by a fat man in a rowboat. Joe says he told this | |||
dream to his analyst. Joe walks into her closet, finds stairs that | |||
take him to the catacombs beneath Rome. He sees Jesus, still on his | |||
waterskis. <ref name=biblesales>originally aired in [[Bible Salesman]]</ref> | |||
44:00: Joe must find peace, speculates on odd places where he | |||
could find it.<ref name=biblesales /> | |||
48:10: Random people praying; joefrank.com in 2013 reads, 'We | |||
hear a series of religious Dial-a-Prayers.' - it sounds like it.<ref name=prayer /> | |||

Joseph as a resentful father. Prank telephone spirit and prayer calls. First person account of Adam and Eve. Same material as Bible Salesman- ( Being tied to a stake on a raft drifting down a river in a surrealist jungle. An elderly woman as a pinata, a wedding party that ends in bloodshed. Unquenchable crying in a therapist's office. Finding the Roman catacombs behind a door and meeting Jesus in water skis. The search for enlightenment.) Preachers speak: the burden in an elevator, etc. | Joseph as a resentful father. Prank telephone spirit and prayer calls. First person account of Adam and Eve.
