Special thanks to our executive producer, Toccora, for making this show possible. Stay tuned after the episode for a sneak peek at the Patreon exclusive show, “Guided Meditation With The Witty Widow.In episode one, we met Midge and Joel Maisel, a young couple who loves each other and stand-up comedy in New York during the late 1950s. They have two children, a cute one and one who looks like Winston Churchhill, and they live on the Upper West Side. Episode 2 opens where it left off- with Midge bailing the Lenny Bruce out of jail and this episode's theme is: conforming to and dealing with other people’s expectations and reactions to your new life.In This Episode:And if y’all think I’m racy, this bitch flashed her tits in a club in 1950’s New York without a cabaret license and was consequently arrested for public indecency. Lenny Bruce jokesPretty tame by today’s standards, especially when you consider one of Sarah Silverman’s greatest jokes of all time is about her licking jelly off her boyfriend’s penis and realizing she’s become her mother. Her eyes wander to the lady's room where she and Joel had what was likely their first quickie as husband and wife. In a glaring and blinding metaphor, there’s a big sign across the door that says “out of order.”So she switches gears and starts comparing her situation to something of biblical proportions. She creates an analogy, comparing what she’s going through to being left by Cain for his brother Abel because there are only four fucking people on the planet. And after Cain leaves her, Adam, Cain and Abel’s father, tells her to do some jigsaw puzzles to cope. Like, when your husband dies and people tell you he’s in a better place and that should make you feel better because he’s in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. K. And then people are surprised when Midge and I say things like, “I need a drink so stiff I could blow it.” Thanks for listeningLove Always,The Witty Widow For more information and to get in touch, email me at Tawny@TawnyVoice.Com or visit TawnyVoice.comFollow the Witty Widow on Instagram @Tawnyplatis_voicetalent Find me on Twitter @tawnysvoiceSupport Death Is Hilarious (With The Witty Widow) and get exclusive behind the scenes updates and commercial-free episodes for just $1 a month on Patreon.com/DirtyBits here.Your Patreon, PayPal (paypal.me/tawnyvoice), and Venmo (@Tawny-Platis) support cover the production costs related to the show and this website.
