Good News Tuesday, SLO Comedy Recap & VIP Ticket Giveaway

Back from the SLO Comedy Festival and back live in studio.

We kick things off with a recap from San Luis Obispo — road trip reflections, sharp crowds, new material, and the kind of weekend that reminds you why live comedy hits different.

Then it’s Talk About Something Good Tuesday.
 We spotlight “A Cheerful Giver,” a family-owned candle company in New Jersey that has spent over 20 years providing meaningful, pressure-free employment for adults with special needs. Every wick is placed by a differently-abled employee, creating dignity, independence, and real paychecks. It’s a reminder that what we buy can truly make a difference.

We also celebrated World Wildlife Day with trivia and gave away three VIP tickets to Chris Bennett Comedy and Alibertos Presents Stand Up Comedy at the Show Low Elks Lodge on March 14th. Those VIP tickets were compliments of our sponsor ComfortFit Dentures — and we’ll be giving away more tickets all week thanks to Mountain Mobile Auto Glass and Alibertos.

If you don’t want to leave it to trivia luck, grab yours now at ChrisBennettComedy.com.

SPEAKER_00 2:43

All right, I got a good one. Uh, there's a family-owned candle company in New Jersey called A Cheerful Giver. And for over 20 years, they've been doing more than just making great smelly candles, Janine. They've been providing meaningful jobs for adults with special needs. And uh every single candle they pour has the wick placed by a different, uh, differently abled employee. And here's the best part there are no quotas, no pressure. They work as long as they want, whether that's a few minutes or several hours, and they go home each day with a paycheck and a sense of pride. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 3:18

The company's so cool.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

The company partners with a nonprofit that helps adults with disabilities find employment and independence. So when people buy one of their candles, they're not just getting a strong scent, they're supporting purpose, dignity, and belonging. Very sweet. That's a good-sming good news story. Yeah. Story. I love candles. All right, Janine, I've shared some good news with you. What's your good news for the day?

Good News Tuesday Begins

Candle Company Creating Dignified Jobs

SPEAKER_01 3:44

Okay, mine's uh fun, but not quite a good because it's it's gone viral, the little video. You have to see it. 21-year-old skier slipped off the chairlift at Big Bear in California. This happened last Tuesday. But her twin sister and a friend hung on to her, so she's okay now. The guy on the ground was filming and the video is trending this week, and it's pretty funny. She slips out and she's literally hanging. But there are so many F bombs. Could you imagine a 20-year-old hanging on for dear life? Yeah. Lots of F bombs when you're watching it, but it is funny, kind of because of that. Uh, and so, and another couple in South Carolina are going viral because they proposed to each other at the same time. Oh yeah, it was epic. It was in Switzerland, and Kelly got down on one knee, and Stormy said yes, and they anyway, this couple just started prepar they they I think they both knew about it. I feel like it might have been planned, but yeah, they proposed at the very same time. They opened their mouth and started doing that. Some great minds think alike. Exactly. Awesome. So some fun stuff, except for all the F-plumps, but I thought it was kind of funny. Yeah, it's just you know, and a lot of the comedy now when you're watching, we've been watching that um that series, Shrinking about shrinks. It is so funny. Oh, really? Oh my gosh, it is good. Shrinking, yeah. But the oh my god, the swear words, definitely adult comedy, but so fun. Oh my gosh.
