    Audio quality is okay today (you both sound like you’re on the phone). Larry was really tired, so you didn’t talk for long (just over 9mins). You mention going Christmas tree shopping which could date the episode.

    Quote from George Zimmel “excessive physic stimulation”
    The French work (sorry Brian I can’t tell what the word is) Larry says it literally means no law I’m hoping you know it.
    Contemplating your navel
    Find meaning or you end up seeking pleasure
    What people talk about on their deathbed

    Audio quality is okay today, Larry was sick, so you didn’t talk for very long. I don’t think this is worth releasing as an episode Brian. You both just talk about Thanksgiving during COVID so it’s very dated.

    But I’ll let you decide…

    Why Larry is sick (Pumpkin Pie)
    No one knows how to do Thanksgiving for under 8 people

    Audio quality is not good in this episode, and there’s a dog barking throughout the conversation you might want to mention too.

    Parable of the vineyard owner and the workers
    The divine economy
    Grace is greater than our needs
    Putting words in God’s mouth
    God so loved the world that he didn’t send a book

    On today’s RABBI BRIAN’S CHATS WITH LARRY

    I removed all the SpaceX chat and just have the conversations start with you talking about the iterations of the rockets and how even your vacuum cleaner has evolved. If you can give me an intro that very briefly explains what you guys were talking about we should be good

    A conversation about vacuum cleaners leads into meditation
    The space between sleep and awake (sleep is a spectrum)
    Giving in to allow other spirits control/influence over you
    The freedom and permission to be myself
    Sleep is the burden of self-consciousness
    Solitary confinement can create delusion
    My octopus teacher
    Getting our stimulus alone or in a group
    Getting some of your own medicine isn’t always negative

    Ballast – A sense of centeredness, how to get more ballast in our lives
    Writing G-D removes the limits
    The self-surpassing surpasser of all (Hawthorn’s Theorem)
    Hebrews 11 “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen”

    While Today’s Rabbi Brian Chats With Larry has great audio quality (an improvement over last time), but that’s because I TOLD Larry I was recording it. He  was really stiff at the start, which I’ve skipped. 

    Enjoy the good quality` and fast start as Larry and I talk about:

    Will power and God’s will. (God’s will =) “Love people, use things”
    Will power, Won’t power, and how we don’t always do what we know we should do
    Satan, good and evil
    Larry’s imposter syndrome and Brian’s childlike playful spirit
    The paradox of pride
    Explaining religion without the religious words

    Wow, the audio quality here is rough. Good news, I fix that for the next episode. Bad news, it’s not a permanent fix for the rest of the episodes.

    On today’s RABBI BRIAN’S CHATS WITH LARRY

    Larry recounts his wonderful memory and I challenge that we can remember anything well at all.

    He reads from his upcoming autobiography


    Being grateful for memories
