Gisele Fetterman Whines to KDKA
Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by offering up his word of the day, ‘whining,’ telling of an interview that Gisele Fetterman gave KDKA about a recent interview her husband gave to NBC, which prompted a conversation about the candidates health. Fetterman calls for some training for NBC staffers after the incident, which annoys Dom, because he finds Fetterman’s health to be pertinent for voters, allowing them to decide whether he’ll be able to make decisions while serving in Washington, D.C. Then, Dom announces the side question of the day, asking listeners to give them something or somebody related to Russia, tying it to the anniversary of Alaska joining the United States. After that, Dom tells that longtime Philadelphia food critic Craig LaBan has announced that he’ll stop rating restaurants with his Liberty Bell rating system, telling that Coronavirus has created such a dynamic environment in restaurants giving customers different experiences based on staffing and supply shortages.

Then, Dom and Didinger jump into a discussion about the miraculous Philadelphia Phillies run in the MLB postseason, explaining what he believes has led to the success we’re seeing, and predicting what to expect moving forward as the team takes on the Padres and hopefully look to the future. Also, Didinger comments on the Eagles success as they continue with their undefeated season, telling what to expect out of the team after they return from their bye week next week.

In today’s second hour, Dom welcomes William McVey, Bensalem Township’s Director of Public Safety, onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss his testimony yesterday in front of state officials about a spike in crime in suburban towns near Philadelphia. In the testimony, McVey noted that 42% of Bensalem’s arrestees are Philadelphia residents, saying that in two years, the town has seen a 13% increase in Philadelphians coming over the border to commit crime against Bensalem’s residents. McVey takes Dom and listeners into his local department as they try to push back against a spike in crime, telling of the negative effects that progressive policies in Philadelphia have had on his department and things they’ve done to try and counter the sudden spread.

First, though, Dom has to dig into Hoekstra’s background, asking him about his time spent touring with Cher and hair metal bands Whitesnake and Night Ranger, with Hoesktra taking us through the differences between a pop tour and a rock tour. Then, Dom and Hoekstra hop into a conversation about the great Trans-Siberian Orchestra, with Joel telling us where the name came from, what to expect from the show, and where to find tickets for the upcoming Philadelphia appearance on December 18th.
Biden Continues With Energy Idiocy, Suggests Green Energy as Only Solution
In today’s third hour, after resetting the side topic of the day, Dom continues on with the Dom Giordano Program, leading off by playing back a KDKA interview with Gisele Fetterman, who suggested that NBC staff should be sent to sensitivity training for comments made about her husband’s health, even though the reporting was fully factual. Then, after playing Dom’s Money Melody, Dom continues on with a political conversation, playing back a clip from a Biden press conference today, in which the President suggested that the Country continue their dip into the strategic oil reserve, pushing again the notion that we need to focus on clean energy to become independent. Also, throughout the hour, Dom talks about issues most important to voters and where January 6th falls into that list, and discusses with Dan whether Kanye West’s recent irrationality is an attempt to be cancelled to get out of the public eye.
