As Aaron observes early in this episode, the relationship between art and life is something that has been considered by everyone from Stanislavsky to Ani DiFranco, but JIALIO decides to give it a whirl anyway. The discussion of art and life quickly becomes a meditation on how to live a life in art, and what is required to do so. It seems that money, scale, yoga, and happiness each may help, or get in the way, depending on which way one is heading. The words of a surprisingly insecure AI language model, working in both song lyrics and dramatic prose, offer little clarifying perspective, only something between empty platitudes and rote sincerity. Reminded of a remarkable phone call he once overheard Aaron’s end of, Ira is shocked to learn that Aaron has somehow retained no memory of what might be the most unusual Craigslist roommate inquiry quite possibly in all of history. Then the Angels sing.
