Jim opens with the notion that your personality can over-dominate your actual essence. He says you use your personality to get along in society, but if it won’t allow for you to realize your core dignity, then you need to make adjustments. Ray talks about his older brother being raised in Germany, and dominating his parents’ attention once he moved to the US. He also mentions his time spent in jail—much to Jim’s surprise.
Jim flashes back to his earliest childhood days; sleeping in a crib and being terrified of nightly trains wooshing by. He also talks about his relationship with his parents, and how it was a different type of technique back in the day to raise your kids. Wrapping up the episode, Ray goes into more detail about how his family was deported to Germany, and the difficulties he faced while adjusting to the new surroundings.
