Pete’s Big Mouth Joins Sirius Indie Talk
Sirius' new Indie Talk Channel is beginning to fill in their daily schedule with the addition of Pete's Big Mouth in afternoon drive (show starts at 2:00 eastern). Today marked the second day of the new show featuring comedian Pete Dominick. Dominick who already hosts a couple of shows on Sirius' Raw Dog Comedy (channel 104), now gets to bring his brand of politics to Indie Talk.
Listening to the show today, I was impressed with the ability of Dominick to step outside the comedy element, and get into what is often much more serious issues. Comedians do carry the ability to look at issues from a differing perspective, so it is no surprise that Dominick can fill a show and be compelling. My surprise was that he had no need to fall back on comedy as a safety net. Dominick is a welcomed addition to the channel, and a great contrast to Ron Silver.
At this point the missing component on Indie Talk is a morning drive show. In my opinion, Vinnie Politan is a natural, and the bonus would be that he would not even have confusion about the channel number since his old home was Sirius 110 anyway.
Congratulations to Pete Dominick for bringing a quality show offering to the table.
I really liked Vinnie’s radio show before court tv changed format. He’s a good host, and we need more live talk during morning drive.
Remember…..the 6 to 9 am drive time slot is still open.
HMMMMM
Congratulatios to Pete. Your neighborhood partying better calm down! Teachers are suppose to party moderately not obsessively!
Pete as an African American male i have to say you are right on. I know you don’t want to harp on the Affirmative action tip but, the last few caller who id themselves as non-racist. While at the same time spewing that if a black man gets a promotion he is not qualified for only got it for the color of skin, but not recognizing that if a white man with the same lack of skills who gets the same promotion only got it because he is white is ludicrous.
Nuff said
Pete,
Your doing a great job.
You say that your a registered Republican Why?
The intro to your show says something like you have no philosophy, it’s a work in progress.
Your right, however that’s the philosophy of a Liberal( primarily Democrat). Things need to be thought out every time. Thinking! not goosestepping!
Conservative means never change. Hold onto tradition till it kills you.
You can register whatever you want to be anti-any philosophy, but everyone has a basic philosophy, and your’s sounds Democrat to me.
Pete,
I loved your “bit” on Becks “bits”, especially the comedic hypocrisy. The bit about how scary he is but refused to try and influence his listeners by declaring if he was getting vaccinated was priceless. I was particularly humored about how that uncovered the fact that he does “bits”…this was my first listen to POTUS, I have to return for the Humor now.
I hope you have an attack on Olberman planned too as he is an ass of equal proportion!
Pete, It is a matter of cause and effect. So many of the issues raised on your show, such as climate change, bank bailouts, health care reform, and energy alternatives are problems with little hope of a solution because they are the effect of a government which is no longer of the people, by the people and for the people. Elections are won, palms are greased and careers ruined or built on the money coming from big business and it’s lobbyists. Lobbyists may have at one time served a purpose, elected officials needed knowledgeable people to educate them on issues. That day is gone. The internet provides an instant access to information about issues, and aids can use their time doing the research necessary to provide a non-biased decision. In this day of technology it is so much easier for politicians to learn and do the will of their constituents, and yet they vote the way directed by the lobbyists with the highest bid. Isn’t it time we rebel and throw the lobbyists out of DC? I’d love to see you do a show, or series of shows on this subject. Bring in moveon.org, bring in lobbyists for BP, EXXON, CocaCola, and Massey Energy. A political revolution is needed to rid our government of this prostitution of our elected officials and return government to the people.
Called in last week on show about taking people we cap/as terrorist and allowing others to make them talk. I was a sgt in the AF,military police assigned to transport VC inmates to Korea to be asked questions by ‘ROC” marines. These were not US soldiers but Korean miltary who were masters of making people talk. And like the TV commerial ‘roach motel’they went in but never came out. This was during 1969 to 1973. And yes we knew who were CIA and ‘other’ IA,s there because they didnt care who saw them because who were you going to tell! Hell I was undercover at a Nuclear weapons base in Anck.Alaska and made a case against 23 cops ‘all who had top security clearance’ Who were running a sumggling ring of stolen elect,and drugs. While waiting for case to go to court was put undercover at March AF base in Riverside CA. Another nuclear weapons site with active bombers in place and found out that half the people who worked around them were high on Pot,or speed. Reported to local OSI agents who I worked for. Was told ‘One case at a time please,let us worry about ‘our problems in house please. This was placed in the form of a order. I was removed and placed in a Hosp,job where I stayed until I got out in 77. To say that I was sick of the whole way the Goverment does is a under statment. Keep telling the truth pete, one day someone will see how you have helped with your show. gary
Pete, on the road this past weekend and your show kept me sane!
