Fellow ridiculous historians, welcome to this week's classic episode.

Now, we want to let you know at the top.

This is an interview.

It's a very exciting one for us.

We had a lot of fun with a friend of the show here.

There is also some strong language.

Yeah, there is no way to get around it, y'all.

It's some MF's and Jeffs in this one.

With our buddy Wayne Federman, who you may know from Curb Your Enthusiasm, from Stand Up.

He's just a long time fixture in the L.A. comedy scene and a really cool dude. And I believe he also teaches the history of stand-up comedy at the time he did at a university of some strike there in the

LA area.

He also is, as you were saying, he is a legitimate walking encyclopedia of stand-up comedy history.

And one of the people that he really connects with and a story that he has examined in

thorough depth is the story of the legendary stand-up, Lenny Bruce.

Lenny Bruce, very famous censorship case, indecency case, excellent film starring, what's his name, Dustin Hoffman, called Lenny by Bob Fossy, that I highly recommend.

And we get into all of that and the sad and tragic tale of Lenny Bruce, who was a really funny guy with some really not funny demons.

And this is part one of a two-part series with Wayne Federman.

So tune in for our next classic in the same vein about George Carlin.

This is an I-Heart podcast.
