About this episode
Recently, Phil and David invited two of their friends -- the beloved stand-up comedian Wendy Liebman and her brilliant producer, writer, director and now podcaster husband Jeffrey Sherman -- to "Naked Lunch." Just days prior, Jeffrey's uncle Richard M. Sherman -- half of the legendary Sherman Brothers songwriting team along with Jeff's late great father Robert B. Sherman -- passed away at age 95. As a result, this "Lunch" begins with a spontaneous salute to The Sherman Brothers, and a discussion of their relationship to each other and Walt Disney, as depicted in Jeff and his cousin Gregory's acclaimed 2009 documentary, "The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story." From there, talk moves on to Wendy's illustrious comedy career and her relationship with Jeff -- and so much more.
