Hasan Minhaj

Tue, 01/31/2017 - 6:05pm | Rocket Drew

Hasan Minhaj, comedy extraordinaire, performed last weekend at the Mondavi Center. His stand-up show is called "Homecoming King" as it's the story of his high school experience which largely centers around prom. As he grows up and becomes successful in comedy, he learns to move on and let go of his past. His story is hysterical and also very topical. He talks about his family's history of immigration and how his background contrasted with the rest of Davis homogeniety. A couple years ago Hasan Minhaj gave the commencement speech at DHS graduation and Rocket plays this clip on the air. In the video he refers to typical Davis experiences like Math teachers at DHS and tryouts for the basketball team but all with a unique drama and flair. This show also includes some jokes and a review of Davis Idol.

Davisville, Jan. 30, 2017: Bad Storms, Mostly Friendly Folks, 6,000 Calories a Day, and Other Tales From Biking 66 While 66

Mon, 01/30/2017 - 6:45pm | Bill Buchanan

In 2005 Doug Waterman, a retired teacher who lives in Davis, rode his bike solo from Santa Monica to Chicago on Route 66. He also was 66 at the time. A decade later, he has written a book about the trip—“It Only Hurts When I Sit Down: A Bicycle Adventure on Historic Route 66”—and he appears on Davisville today to talk about what he saw along the way. He is joined by his wife Donna, who wrote nightly emails for their friends and family. His recollections include tales of good deeds and usually friendly folks, ghost towns, storms he barely outran, odd moments, and a truck tire he saw explode on the road.
