[joe-frank-list] 'Where will it end?'

[russellbell at gmail.com]

	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, 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."' (https://www.salon.com/2000/12/13/breakthrough/) (Mr
Brezsny's horoscopes read like parodies to me.)
	4:00: 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.
	8:50: Larry tells Joe he and Zachary go to see Dr Arnold
Gallo, a 'wild street shrink' psychiatrist.  Larry gets valium from
him.  They help him deal with his anxiety and pain.
	11:30: Debi tells Joe about going to a rave with her friend
Jessica at the Shaolin temple in downtown LA (apparently not
https://shaolintemplela.org).  She takes ecstasy, dances wildly.  She
meets Malcolm; they go for each other.  He has a major record deal.
	17:30: A woman, who sounds like she's in a club, talks about
how much she 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 (originally aired in 'Love is')
	19:00: Larry talks about arbitrary conventions, cites wearing
a tie, says our life loses meaning if we abandon them.  They bring up
more examples.
	23:10: Larry tells Joe that he was behind stage in Rochester
and his life, acting to entertain, made no sense to him.
	30:40: Debi tells Joe about people coming to her place to
chant at 7:30 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.
	37:50: 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.  (Larry mentions another actor in the play,
a friend, Joel Rooks, https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/joel-rooks-76273 )
	45:00: 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.
	50:40: The segment from 17:30 repeats.
	52:20: 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.
	55:00: Everton Sylvester, a Caribbean-sounding fellow, brags
about how much money he has, insults the audience; they react
enthusiastically.  (It sounds like a clip from a stand-up comedy
routine in a club.)
