The Return of Sarah Palin and Aurora Joplin

In case you weren’t aware, already… I am on the awesome rockstar writing team for a show called DSI Witness News out of the DSI Comedy Theater in Carrboro, NC. We write news parody, headlines, and character pieces. We do a once a month live show in a similar format to Weekend Update and we write for a 5 minute news segment MONDAY – FRIDAY on local radio station WCHL 1360AM, Chapel Hill-Carrboro’s News, Talk, and Tarheels station. DSI Witness News is ON AIR every morning at 8:20AM and every afternoon at 5:55PM.

We write hyper-local news, but we love tying in national headlines and national figures. I had so much fun with this morning’s episode that I wanted to share it on my own blog and do a plug for DSIWN, too!

Today’s episode featured endorsements for the Chapel Hill Mayoral election with Sarah Palin (me), Aurora Joplin (me), and Bill Strom (Kit FitzSimons). It was awesome. Check out the episode here.

Awesome. You can subscribe to the DSI Witness News podcast on iTunes – just search: DSI COMEDY and click subscribe!

You can also FOLLOW us on Twitter: @DSIWN. Don’t live in Chapel Hill/Carrboro? We also stream online… listen here: http://wchl1360.com/live_streaming.html. Now there’s no excuse not to listen and laugh! Thanks for supporting DSI Witness News. Thanks for supporting local comedy.

All for now.

Mo' Clips. GREAT CLIPS.

It's EARTH DAY.

It’s Wednesday. Forget the FACTS was filmed on a Tuesday.

Last Thursday was National Librarian Day. But no one knew because they were whispering.

It’s also Earth Day. Why don’t you hug a tree?

Tomorrow is Take Your Daughter to Work Day. (And yes, we have a joke about it. It may or may not be “OKAY”).

Friday is Friday.

I am going to see the Dave Matthews Band in Raleigh, NC tonight.

Today is also Zach Ward’s birthday. Do you know him? You should.

I’m drinking a Diet Coke and thinking about Chipotle. A burrito, not a burrito bol.

Does anyone else think it’s weird that Burrito Bol is missing the “W”? I wonder if the Chipotle execs know that they misspelled a popular food item on their menu.

I don’t think the Washington National’s jersey-spelling-snafu really compares.

I have to go to the bathroom.

I’m just saying.

All for now.

Can Ms. Cyrus Stanky Leg a Soulja Boy?

Can Miley Cyrus really create a dance that puts THE Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em to shame? Doubt it. But I bet Ryan Hansinger & I can! This week’s episode of Forget the FACTS features:

8th grade farts
A Tribute to a Parrot Hero
George Bush is writing a book?
AND Our Hoedown Throw Down

Good times. Good times. Had by all.

Don’t forget to comment, subscribe, rate, and share. You know. You scratch our back, we’ll scratch yours. Unless you have a hairy back… then we might not scratch yours. I’m not a fan of back hair. I’m just sayin’ is all.

All for now.
