Stand Up! with Pete Dominick
Like I said for months "Trump will win." Sigh. I'm sorry for giving you false hope again. The results aren't final as I write this but it looks bad. I guess my role in your life is to do all I can to keep and build a community of people who remind each other of the good in the world and do all I can to keep us connected. I will host a zoom chat tonight (Weds Nov 6) to chart the way forward with you. Get rest. Find peace. Help the least amongst us. Look out for each other. I'll be here shining a light as long as I can Pete

When my friend Brian Abrams reached out to ask me if I would be interested in having him on the show to talk about his new book about famous movie quotes I thought - I'd love to have you on but I'm not sure I am the best person to interview you on this which is why I reached out to my friend, Comedian and film nerd Christian Finnegan. I loved producing this interview and I hope you love hearing it. Thanks again to Christian and Brian for doing it!
