[joe-frank-list] 'Smile'

[russellbell at gmail.com]

	A woman (Farley Ziegler?) calls Joe.  She's been keeping track
of Joe's medical expenses, is exasperated by the difficulty.
	2:50: A rabbi talks with Joe about immortality.
	3:40: Larry complains to Joe that Arthur Miller gets more of
his stuff on Joe's shows.  Joe disagrees.
	5:20: A woman (Farley Ziegler?) leaves a message on Joe's
answering machine, apologizing for not being what Joe wants.
	5:50: A fellow (Keith Talbot - his voice sounds like John's in
'When I'm calling you') leaves a message on Joe's answering machine,
saying that he can tell when Joe's doing better because he calls less.
	6:40: A guy ('Cousin Bob' - Robert Gordon?) talks about the
significance of life.
	7:10: A woman with an accent (Grace Zabriskie? Noemi?) says
'radio talk' helps her deal with anxiety.
	8:10: Arthur Miller tells Joe what a bad actor Larry is, how
good he is, wants more money.
	10:00: The rabbi talks about celebrating weddings and bar
mitzvahs, feeling that deceased parents of the celebrants are
watching.  He believes that there's an eternal spirit.
	11:00: A fellow ('Cousin Bob' - Robert Gordon?) tells a story
about a fellow who climbs a mountain to ask the wise man the meaning
of life, gets a silly answer.  Joe asks what this story means.  The
fellow replies, 'Exactly.' (The same explanation the preacher offers
at the end of 'Jam'.)
	12:10: The fellow from 5:50, Keith Talbot, talks about his and
Joe's dreams.
	14:20: Joe tells us we should be happy, in numerous ways,
backed by 'Little man swing'.
	20:30: A fellow (Mike Meloan) tells Joe about the vivid
imagery he achieves with his show, but it often leaves him depressed.

	joefrank.com lists the cast as 'Larry Block, Arthur Miller,
Keith, Cousin Bob, Noemi, Joe Frank', jfwiki as 'Farley Ziegler, Larry
Block, Arthur Miller, Grace Zabriskie, Bob Gordon, Naomi Schwarz, Mike
Meloan, Joe Frank', the on-air broadcast as 'Joe Frank, Farley
Ziegler, Robert Gordon, Arthur Miller, Grace Zabriskie, and Larry
Block.'
	I'm certain about Larry and Arthur.
	I think the guy at 5:50 and 12:10 sounds like the same person
as John, the depressed guy in the group therapy session in 'When I'm
calling you'.  joefrank.com has Keith in the casts of both.
	The last guy to speak sounds like Mike Meloan. (He tells the
story about the fortune-teller who screams 'Don't deny me!' at him in
'The nature of things' and 'Karma, don't deny me'.)
	Women have 3 segments: the first, 5:20, and 7:10.  The voice
at 7:10 could have a fake accent.  The segment at 5:20 could refer to
the first.  joefrank.com identifies the first as 'a woman', 5:20's as
'an ex-girlfriend'.  Farley Ziegler sounds like a southern name; I
think the woman in the first segment sounds like she has a trace of a
southern accent.  Joe sets up a date to see a movie with Naomi in
'Jam'.  Wikipedia says 'Noémi' is a French variant of Naomi -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No%C3%A9mie .  Grace Zabriskie could put
on an accent like the woman in 7:10; she's from New Orleans so can
probably do a southern accent too.
