 == Synopsis ==
+Debi tells Joe how she got engaged to herself, considers herself
+married to herself now.  She admits it's bizarre but it improves her
+attitude: she stops looking for someone else to make her happy.  She
+cites, as her inspiration, a horoscope.<ref>Rob Brezsny's horoscope
+(http://www.freewillastrology.com/) published 2000 December 13:
+'Happy Holy Daze, Sagittarius!  If I could bless you with
+just one holiday gift, it would be a Tiffany diamond engagement
+ring. Actually, I'd give it to you in the hope that you would give it
+to yourself. I'd want you to slip it on your finger as you pledged to
+get married to yourself in 2001. Maybe you'd even be inspired to begin
+planning that happy day (sometime in the first two weeks of June?)
+when you will proclaim, "I am no longer looking for the perfect person.
+I am that perfect person."'

+:00: Debi describes her Christmas shopping; she bought a mood ring.
+She mentions that she isn't with a man.  She intends to make herself
+happy, not someone else.
+:50: Larry tells Joe he and Zachary go to see
+[https://www.doximity.com/pub/arnold-gallo-md Dr Arnold Gallo], a
+'wild street shrink' psychiatrist.  Larry gets valium from him.  They
+help him deal with his anxiety and pain.
+:30: Debi tells Joe about going to a rave with her friend Jessica at
+the Shaolin temple in downtown LA.<ref>apparently not
+https://shaolintemplela.org</ref> She takes ecstasy, dances wildly.
+She meets Malcolm; they go for each other.  He has a major record
+deal.
+:30: A woman, who sounds like she's in a club, talks about how much
+he likes love and kisses; Dooley Wilson's 'As time goes by' plays in
+the background; we hear crowd and street sounds, a couple arguing in
+Spanish.<ref>originally aired in [[Love Is]]</ref>
+:00: Larry talks about arbitrary conventions, cites wearing a tie, says
+our life loses meaning if we abandon them.  They bring up more
+examples.
+:10: Larry tells Joe that he was behind stage in Rochester and his
+life, acting to entertain, made no sense to him.
+:40: Debi tells Joe about people coming to her place to chant at
+:30 AM Friday.  She chants for Malcolm to call; he does.  They make a
+lunch date.  He reveals he's married.  He moved out from Houston
+because he had a record deal, but it fell through.
+:50: Larry describes a play about a widower who moves from Brooklyn
+to Florida after his wife's death; widows go for him.  He thinks the
+play is silly.<ref>Larry mentions another actor in the play, a friend,
+[https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/joel-rooks-76273 Joel  Rooks],
+a real person.</ref>
+:00: Debi tells Joe she feels extra-marital relationships are wrong.
+She makes an exception for Malcolm.  She's confident he will leave his
+wife.  Joe's skeptical.
+:40: The segment from 17:30 repeats.
+:20: Joe asks Larry to explain why he's a drunk and drug addict,
+warns him that he's in deep water.  Larry asks Joe if that doesn't
+make him a better subject for his show.
+:00: Everton Sylvester, a West-Indian-sounding fellow, brags about how
+much money he has, insults the audience; they react
+enthusiastically.<ref>It sounds like a clip from a stand-up comedy
+routine in a club.</ref>
