00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: So now, okay, Lenny Bruce.

76
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: What about him?

77
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: Just first, while he was he was brilliant, he was

78
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: ahead of his time. He was you know, the interesting

79
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: thing about Lenny Bruce was and me being the filthy

80
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 4: mouth that I am.

81
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: It was not Lenny's language.

82
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: That they really were persecuting him for. It was because

83
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: he was talking about religion. He did that whole bit

84
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: about the Catholic Church. And that's the thing that really

85
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: gets people's back up still, I think.

86
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: Because these are like iconst Yeah, Dillan, Phyllis, Dillon.

87
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: Oh God, Idyl right, Idle.

88
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 4: You know the thing about Phyllis, and she was philistorted

89
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: when she was forty, which so did Joy. By the way,

90
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 4: when I met Joy doing starting doing stand up, she

91
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: was forty, which is a very brave thing to do.

92
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 3: But Phyllis was so interesting that Phyllis.

93
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 4: Phyllis was brilliant, but at the time she and she

94
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 4: was beautiful, but at the time she had to dress

95
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 4: up in all those crazy outfits in order for audiences

96
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: to accept her. She couldn't just be a woman out

97
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 4: there beautiful and just accepting who she was. It had

98
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: to be a stick and a gimmick.

99
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: That was the time.

100
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting. And finally Joan.

101
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: Rivers, Well, Joan is another one. You know, Joan, Joan.

102
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 3: I feel like Joan was brilliant.

103
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 4: Joan had an IQ, you you know, over the top

104
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: and a funny Bone beyond. But I also think Joan

105
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 4: was a product of her time in the sense that

106
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: she had to be self deprecating in order to be accepted.

107
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 4: That the audiences would not have accepted her if she

108
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 4: wasn't oh my thighs and this, And she was adorable

109
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 4: if you look at it early things about her.

110
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: She was adorable. And what a tragic death that was.

111
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: It really was and a huge loss.

112
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: Could she's still be here making us laugh, you know,

113
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 4: Phyllis I think died well into her nineties.

114
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: She was, But Joan was a tragic death.
