Seconds of Pleasure, Months of Misery | ETM-Hilary Kemp 72

ETM is George Costanza and experiences only momentary joy in his life, with long intervals of misery.  Hilary has some suggestions for him.  But will the Green Tennis Ball bounce off of the Red Velvet Curtain's ideas?


ETM starts the show comparing himself to George Costanza, even though his folks are just the opposite of Costanza's parents.  Hilary informs us that she has to start looking for another job, as well as doing her current job, and she's teaching too.  She is the busiest woman in the world.  ETM tries to compliment her, but they of course disagree on the compliment.


Hilary asks ETM about microbes and starts an impromptu Science Minute.  ETM then gives us a Media Minute, featuring another podcast called "Hollywood Babble-On", starring Kevin Smith ("Clerks", "Chasing Amy") and Ralph Garman.  They discuss the sexual antics of Arnold Schwarzenegger.  This prompts Hilary to point out her disdain for hypocrisy amongst straights and conservatives and her love for having sex as often as possible with as many people as a person can.


Edward T talks about his audition on a lite-rock radio station and he reveals he has been unfaithful to Hilary.  Seriously?  Seriously!


They finally get to the main topic: JOY.


Edward T says he has none, and has had none for years, that he only experiences moments here and there, sometimes only seconds at a time.  Hilary points out it may be in the definition of the word.  She then spins a tale of how to find joy in spite of the pain that surrounds us.
