Aaaaaaand we're back. Episode 1 of season 14 of the Dana Gould Hour Podcast. Has anything of interest happened since the last episode? Don't think so. Certainly not here in Los Angeles, or America. Okay. Great. Let's get at it!  Drew Friedman is here. Drew Friedman is one of the premiere illustrators and cartoonists in America. You know his work from The New York Observer, the New Yorker, his books, Warts And All, Old Jewish Comedians, More Old Jewish Comedians, Still More Old Jewish Comedians, Too Soon, Drew Friedman's Sideshow Freaks, Heroes Of The Comics, More Heroes Of The Comics, the list goes on and on. In 1987 I discovered his book Any Similarity to Persons Living Or Dead is Purely Coincidental and it quite literally redefined my sense of humor. It is hard to articulate the impact the book had on me. No kidding. Drew has a new book out called Schtick Figures, portraits of people important to Drew. And me. People he refers to as The Cool, The Comical and The Crazy. Portraits of people like Gilbert Gottfried, #2 and #3 as only Drew can draw them. Drew is also the subject of a new documentary that's about to be released entitled The Vermeer Of The Borscht Belt, Drew Friedman is here.  Kurt Sayenga is a writer, director and producer. We first met when Kurt ran the series Eli Roth's History Of Horror. Kurt now has a series on Shudder called Horror's Greatest.

If you want to examine the realistically horrific, True Tales From Weirdsville takes a deep dive into the 1957 classic A Face In Crowd, starring Andy Griffith, written by Budd Schulberg and directed by Elia Kazan. It tells the cautionary tale of what happens when a corrupt, amoral grifter gains a position of power and influence in America.

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Ava's Scarf: A Comical Journey at the Western Wall Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2024-11-18-23-34-02-he Story Transcript:He: הקיר המערבי ירושלם, מואר באור הזהב של הסתו, ניצב בגאווה וקורא למתפללים ולמבקרים.En: The Hakotel HaMa'aravi of Yerushalayim, illuminated by the golden light of autumn, stands proudly, inviting worshippers and visitors.He: אווה, צעירה מלאת מחשבות וחלומות, הגיעה לשם עם מטרה פשוטה אך חשובה – להשאיר פתק תפילה.En: Ava, a young woman full of thoughts and dreams, arrived there with a simple yet important goal — to leave a prayer note.He: האוויר היה מלוח עם ריח הסתיו, והעלים רשרשו קלות תחת רגליהם של האנשים.En: The air was salty with the scent of autumn, and the leaves rustled lightly under the people's feet.He: בזמן שאווה ניגשה לקיר, היא חשה את ההיסטוריה הכבדה שהתנשאה מעליה.En: As Ava approached the wall, she felt the heavy history towering over her.He: היא נשמה עמוק וניסתה לדמיין את המסע של אבותיה, את המסורת שברצונה להרגיש חלק ממנה.En: She took a deep breath and tried to imagine the journey of her ancestors, the tradition she wished to feel a part of.He: אבל בדיוק אז, כמו בסרט מצויר, קרה הדבר.En: But just then, as if in a cartoon, it happened.He: צעיפה, צעיף כחול רך שסבתה נתנה לה, נתקע בין האבנים העתיקות כשניסתה להשאיר את הפתק.En: Her scarf, a soft blue one given by her grandmother, got stuck between the ancient stones as she attempted to leave the note.He: אווה ניסתה בחיוך לקרוא לצפייה מצחיקה — היא היתה רק צריכה לשחרר אותו בזהירות, נכון?En: Ava tried to laugh it off as a funny sight — she just needed to carefully release it, right?He: אבל איזה ניסיון משיכה קל הפך למאבק משעשע כמעט בהילוך איטי, המבוך המרשים של אבנים לא רצה לשחרר את הצעיף.En: But a slight tugging attempt turned into an amusing struggle, almost in slow motion, as the impressive maze of stones refused to relinquish the scarf.He: המבקרים בקרבת מקום, ביניהם יהונתן ומרים, שמו לב לסצנה הקומית והתאספו לעזור.En: Visitors nearby, including Yonatan and Miriam, noticed the comedic scene and gathered to help.He: "תני לנו," אמר יונתן בחיוך גדול, "זה לא הפעם הראשונה שלנו.En: "Let us," Yonatan said with a big smile, "it's not our first time."He: " גם מרים לא נשארה אדישה ועזרה בזהירות לפרום את הצעיף ממקומו.En: Miriam wasn't indifferent either and carefully assisted in unraveling the scarf from its spot.He: בעוד הם עובדים יחד, אווה לא עזבה את החיוך שלה.En: While they worked together, Ava didn't lose her smile.He: היא ידעה שהמצב היה בכללה מגוחך, אך גם הרגישה את החמימות האנושית מהאנשים הללו.En: She knew the situation was utterly ridiculous, but also felt the human warmth from these people.He: בסופו של דבר, באמצעות עבודת צוות וצחוק לבבי, הצליחו לשחרר אותה.En: Eventually, through teamwork and hearty laughter, they managed to free it.He: כשצעיפה בידיה, אווה הרגישה תחושת רוגע חדשה.En: With her scarf in hand, Ava felt a newfound sense of calm.He: החיבור לירושלים, למסורת ולעצמה לא חייב להיות מושלם.En: The connection to Yerushalayim, to tradition, and to herself didn't have to be perfect.He: אולי, היא חשבה, המצב הקומי הזה לימד אותה הרבה יותר על קבלת חוסר השלמות, על הומור שקיים במסע הפרטי שלה.En: Perhaps, she thought, this comical situation taught her much more about embracing imperfection, about the humor present in her personal journey.He: כשיונתן ומרים נפרדו לשלום, היא הודתה להם עם חיוך רחב.En: As Yonatan and Miriam parted ways, she thanked them with a broad smile.He: "לפעמים", אמרה לעצמה בקול נמוך, "המסע עצמו והאנשים בו הם המשמעות האמיתית.En: "Sometimes," she said to herself softly, "the journey and the people in it are the true meaning."He: " כך, עם לב קל יותר, היא יצאה מהקיר המערבי, מוכנה לקראת חנוכה ודרך חדשה לראות את עצמה ואת מסורתה.En: Thus, with a lighter heart, she left the Hakotel HaMa'aravi, ready for Chanukah and a new way to see herself and her tradition.
