Interview with Core Professor: "I'm probably gonna cuss on the first day of class"

"I just feel like a comedy superstar when I drop the S-bomb on the first day of class," Walman tells us, "these incoming freshmen are used to tight-lipped highschool teachers so all you have to do is say one or two cuss words and it totally kills."

Walman explains that among core class professors, it's "like the California Gold Rush of comedy," and who would know better than Walman, who teaches HIST 1377.

"You gotta squeeze all the laughs out while they're freshmen... before they become jaded sophomores and your comedy well dries up."

Walman goes on to describe his love for comedy, recounting his enjoyment of "the best comics of all time" such as Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, and Amy Schumer. "It's a rush when you step out on that stage... all those eyes on you... and then you just drop your dried out Expo marker and release a resigned 'Shit!' and the class is in tears laughing."

After semesters of testing different delivery methods and cuss words, Walman says, this routine isn't going anywhere. "I tried dropping an F-bomb one year and the problem is you lose a large portion of the audienc-erm class. The students with the more conservative sensibilities don't tend to like those as much so... I uh... I stick with the more middle-ground cuss words."
