The Shehata Show

This week on The Shehata Show, Helen, Jeremy, and Maria discuss how arabic ads are being found on the sides of buses in Richmond, VA as a way to dispel fears toward the Muslim community. Or is it just a secret code for terrorists? Men Vs. Women, the double standard in comedy and relationships. Regarding a recent article in Vanity Fair so bluntly titled "Why Women Aren't Funny," the three discuss what makes a woman funny, why they are all "hefty, dykey, or jewish" and whether or not a woman can be both super hot and funny. Does humor make an ugly chick hot? Another edition of Ask Schachter brings up whether or not you should tell a friend if a mutual friend is cheating on them. Women usually stick up for their female friends and men usually use it as leverage to sleep with the cheating female. Also, would you let your fiance have a last hoorah? Jeremy discovers maybe he's a little conservative. Want to Win a Date with Maria Shehata? Listen for details. Have a pressing question for Jeremy to answer on air for Ask Schachter?

This week on The Shehata Show, comedian Helen Hong joins us in studio to discuss her recent gigs on the road, the differences between new york comedy clubs and clubs everywhere else, and having to work clean despite the club owner being dirty. She then tells us about the aftermath of her hummos dinner right before Jeremy changes the subject. In the news: Indian men don't measure up in the sack and Pauly Shore doesn't measure up as a man. Also, the story about the art teacher who sold his paintings under a pseudonym, was fired after the school learned he was painting by member. Discussed are the teacher, Club Soda Kenny, and the Cris the producer's lives. Should the night life of a person have any affect on their day job? The holidays are coming up and what's on everyone's mind? The three talk about gift giving and their favorite methods of suicide. Also Jeremy answers your most intimate questions on another edition of Ask Schachter. Have a question for Jeremy, write to us at [email protected]

The Shehata Show is back now on Cringe Humor Radio and Maria kicks it off by blurting out the p-word in reference to Britney Spears "Sharon Stoning" America. Jeremy is disgusted, and explains why the c-word is better. Comedian Jamie Lissow from the Tonight Show with Jay Leno joins them in the studio, and the three discuss recent news, the challenge and monotony of being in a monogomous relationship, and the rules for the highly aniticipated contest "Win A Date with Maria Shehata." Want a chance to win? Listen for rules, details, and whether or not women are allowed to enter. In a new segment called Ask Schachter, Jeremy answers questions from the chat room, and fields pressing issues about being Jewish in todays society, such as "Howd you grow that Jew fro?" and "What the hell is gefilte fish?"

This week filling in for Jeremy is comedian Nick Cobb. Nick, Maria, and Eliza discuss the tedious process of doing auditions. Eliza kills at her HBO/Aspen audition and is kindly rejected, Maria questions the integrity of the Emerging Comics Contest, and Nick isn't believable as a talking television. Child molestors these days: The three discuss Republican Mark Foley's folly and why it's a bad idea for a child molestor and an infidel to put his deepest desires into text. Worse then him is Charles Karl Roberts, IV. The history of molestation, the daughter who died, his brewing anger, and according to Nick, his job as a milkman all led up to a very dark day for one Amish community. Being the third school shooting in one week, was this just another copycat crime? Discussed are his motives, why the Amish were targeted, and how the Amish continued to stand by their customs even in the face of death. On a lighter note, what's more intimate, a blow job or sex? Men with foot fetishes, is bigger better? And find out who Maria admits to making out with this week.

This week comedian Helen Hong joined us in place of Eliza who was busy killing at her HBO audition. Maria and Helen discussed their road trip to Richmond, Virginia over the weekend with six other New York City comedians and a band to benefit Darfur at a festival called River City Rocks. The adventure started with a creepy bus driver who takes them all to the Waffle House, and ended in a $2300 fine and a court summons, with an empty festival and VCU house parties in between. River City Rocked, just not for the people of Darfur. Who’s Maria making out with? Maria tries to remain tight lipped, but is kissed and told on. Too straightforward for her own good, she told a guy how she felt, yes drunk, and wonders why he never called. Jeremy talks about the love of his life and why he dumped her. War on the war: Jeremy and Helen battle it out over Dubai, oil and the Middle East. The Egyptian taps out.

Maria dates a Brit who, after dropping her off safely at home, gets mugged in Harlem. Cris blames her. Should she have at least licked his wounds? In a city where interburrough relationships are considered long-distance, is the convenience of Manhattan worth sleeping in a crowded apartment for $1000 a month? Homeward Bound may be a tear jerker, but even for a grown man? Jeremy discusses his need for a happy ending.

Listen to our first show, it's a mystery. You'll have to listen to find out what we actually talk about. Hey there's an idea.
