Wild Bill co-hosts today on Wide Awakes Radio.

Dana Carvey, Arnold, and George HW Bush
Thanks to Justin from Right on the Right for letting me co-host.

Just finished doing three hours of live radio with Justin and Kender from 9am to 12pm. Great show, I got to interveiw, Dana Carvey (Master of Disgiuse, Wayne's World, and Wayne's World 2), Arnold Schwarzenegger, former president George Bush Sr., with an exclusive sneak preveiw of George W. Bush's weekly radio address. Justin threatened to have me fired and Kender laughed at me almost the entire time I was on the air, (not in a good way.)

Make sure to listen tonight when I destroy the conservative radio format live starting at 9pm Central Time. Wow six hours of radio in one day and no sleep in the last 48 hours, there is no telling way I will say or do tonight. Click on the link below to listen to Wide Awakes Radio.

XM Satellite Radio Continues It's Losing Streak

XM Satellite Radio Fails To Meet Projections

(via BREITBART.COM)
XM Radio Widens Loss; Losing Subscribers

NEW YORK


XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. reported a wider loss for its second quarter Thursday as it absorbed charges for restructuring its debt. The company again lowered its estimates for full-year subscriber counts.

XM, which is based in Washington, D.C., lost $231.7 million or 87 cents per share in the three months ending June 30, versus a loss of $148.8 million or 70 cents per share in the comparable period a year ago.

Revenue nearly doubled to $227.9 million from $125.4 million a year ago.

The company said it now expects to end the year with a customer base between 7.7 million and 8.2 million, and that it would refine that range at the end of the third quarter. The company cited "current marketplace dynamics" and regulatory uncertainty regarding certain of its radio models for the change.

The news is sure to disappoint investors, who punished XM's stock in May when it lowered its previous forecast for year-end subscribers to 8.5 million from 9 million, blaming problems with product availability and soft retail sales.

In pre-market trading, XM's shares fell 50 cents or 4.8 percent to $9.86...(more)
Looks like internet radio might be cutting into XM's profits. Wide Awakes Radio is free. Kind of hard for satellite radio to convince listeners to shell out a monthly subscription when great shows like The Passionate America Show (lol) are free.

Email from Program Director News/Talk 1430 WXNT

I sent an email to the Program Director at News/Talk 1430 WXNT when my buddy Skerdog told me that they would no longer be syndicating The Glenn Beck Show. Here is what I wrote:
Name: Wild Bill

Comments:

I cannot believe you are not going to have Glenn Beck on M-F anymore. That is the worst decision you could have made. I will not be listening to your station anymore. Glenn has the best show on Talk Radio. I guess from now on I will listen to Glenn on his website and stop listening to your station.

Program Director Andrew Lee from News/Talk 1430 WXNT responded to me by email this mourning:
Unfortunately, Glenn's show never really did too well in the ratings for us, so we felt it was time to make a change and try something new... I hope you'll give the new line-up a listen, and please continue to feel free to drop me a line anytime with your thoughts/feedback. We do keep track of listeners comments and consider them when evaluating our schedule.

I don't buy the, "Glenn's show never really did too well in the ratings for us," crap. Skerdog, your going to have to break down and become a Glenn Beck Insider.

Results of Saturday's Pickle Eating Contest and Dairy Challenge

As heard on The Passionate America Show July, 22 2006.

Last Saturday night during my live internet talk radio show, The Passionate America Show, on Wide Awakes Radio my brother and co-host Big Mike and I had a spicy pickle eating contest (no thanks to fmragtops for the pickle suggestion) and a dairy challenge (suggested by Kender.)

For those of you that don't know what a dairy challenge is I'll break it down for you. Each participant dumba$$ competing in a dairy challenge tries to drink more milk than the other participant dumba$$.

The spicy pickle eating contest and the dairy challenge were not such a great idea. Little did I know it is possible to eat as many spicy pickles and drink as much milk as I did, however it is not possible to keep it down. I won both contests but really lost at the same time--spending 1 hour praying to the porcelain god.

Below are the results of the spicy pickle eating contest and the dairy challenge.

Spicy Pickle and Dairy Challenge Results


Nobody wins a dairy challenge.

Thanks to everyone that called into the radio show:

Get your suggestion in now for next week’s food eating contest. Leave a comment below.

Wide Awakes Radio host and blogger Pamela aka Atlas from Atlas Shrugs was a caller today on the Rush Limbaugh show. Audio Pam on the Rush Limbaugh Show. You can imagine the traffic to Pamela's site is hot and heavy. I can't even get her website to load. I will try to update this post later with links to Pam's post on her conversation with Rush.

Wide Awakes Radio on the Glenn Beck Insider Forum

Wide Awakes Radio on the Glenn Beck Insider Forum
Wide Awakes Radio has been getting alot of traffic from the Glenn Beck Insider Forum.

Kender mentioned on the air at about 11:10am CT on Wide Awakes Radio that the WAR website had been getting hits from the Glenn Beck Insider Forum. So since I am a Glenn Beck Sick Freak Insider I went over there to check it out. Click on the picture to the left to see what Glenn Beck Insiders are saying about Wide Awakes Radio.

This could be because I called the Glenn Beck radio show a few days ago and got on the air with Glenn.

I'll have to talk to Glenn Beck about Wide Awakes Radio when I see him at his Mid-Life Crisis Tour in Tulsa OK on July the 15th.

Passionate America Show podcast #1

The Passionate America Show with Wild Bill
PAS podcast #1

Kender is still working on get the listen live sever installed at Wide Awakes Radio. For now I decided to record The Passionate America Show as a podcast.

This is the first episode of The Passionate America Show. I invited my brother Big Mike to join me in what I like to refer to as the studio to co-host with me this week. We were a little nervous at first, not having any idea what we were doing and what we should talk about, so we just started talking and recorded our entire conversation. Once we started recording we quickly got into the groove of things and ended up with an hour and 30 minutes of our stupidity. I know it is a long podcast, but we had so much fun recording it that I had a hard time leaving any of the conversation on the cutting room floor. I hope you enjoy The Passionate America Show podcast episode #1. We sure did.

This is just the begining. We just keep getting better.

Update: 11pm-This mp3 is recorded at a low (16bit) rate. It will not play in the odeo or macromedia flash players. I am changing the bit rate now and I will try to upload the new file as soon as I can. It will be a larger file but you will be able to listen to the file with the media player on this website and at the Wide Awakes Radio website. My podcast has been changed to a 64 bit version. Sorry for the ploblems. I am learning as I go here.

Update #2: 1:12am July 11, 2006- I finally got the podcast to load and play right with the Odeo player. Below you can listen to the podcast and download the 64 bit version of my first podcast. The download is 40mb, but I think it is well worth it. I hope you enjoy.

Wild Bill sings Zarqawi's Dead Tonight

I let one of my friends listen to this before I posted it and he told me I should never sing again. Hell I never said I wanted to be a professional singer. I don't think I will quit my day job just yet. Maybe I will win a Grammy for this. It could make the top 10 on the Billboard Music Charts. Oh who am I BSing It won't even make a good ring tone. I might be good for a laugh or two.

Glenn Beck's Mid-Life Crisis Tour, Tulsa, OK July 15th

I got my tickets better get yours before they are sold out!

My Glenn Beck Mid
On July 15th (my birthday), my son and I are traveling to Tulsa, OK to see the Glenn Beck Mid-Life Crisis Tour. This is my birthday present to myself. This leaves me with a small problem. My first radio show on Wide Awakes Radio was scheduled for this Saturday (July 8th) however due to the sever meltdown, my first show will now be on July 15th. Since I will be in Tulsa that night I will have to prerecord my first show. I will be unable to take live phone calls due to my show being pre recorded.

Glenn Beck Mid-Life Crisis Tour
One of the Wide Awakes Radio hosts lives in Tulsa and I will try to meet them before or after the show. I am looking forward to hanging out with one of my fellow On-Air-Talents of Wide Awakes Radio. If you live in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area or you are going to the Glenn Beck Mid-Life Crisis Tour on July 15th leave a comment or send me an email and we will try to meet up.

I understand that there are still tickets left for Glenn Beck's Mid-Life Crisis Tour. If you would like to go you can get your tickets here. If you already have tickets I hope to see you at the show. It is going to be great.



Sirius catching up with XM

Sirius Satellite Radio

Satellite Radio growing.


(via Reuters.com)

Sirius subscriber growth outpaces XM
Thu Jul 6, 2006 12:21pm ET

By Kenneth Li

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (SIRI.O: Quote, Profile, Research) on Thursday posted stronger second quarter subscriber additions than larger rival XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (XMSR.O: Quote, Profile, Research), sending Sirius' shares up 4 percent.

Sirius, boosted by an exclusive deal with shock jock radio personality Howard Stern, said it added about 600,640 net new subscribers in the quarter, a 64 percent growth from the same period last year. It ended the quarter with 4.7 million subscribers, still short of XM's nearly 7 million subscribers.
XM Satellite Radio
XM said it added 398,000 net new subscribers, a 38 percent drop in net subscriber growth compared to last year's period curbed by new product availability. XM shares were flat in Nasdaq trade after falling as much as 5 percent before the market opened...(more)

Now Sirius and XM need to find a way to make money instead of posting losses all the time. I know, they could add Wide Awakes Radio and The Passionate America Show to their programming.

American Microphone: another leftard on the mic

Looks like the left thinks they need more of their retarded Moonbats views behind microphones and on video. I guess the failure of Air America was not proof enough for the libs at American Microphone that people just don't want to listen to whining communists on the radio. So they decided they would start another crappy liberal propaganda network. If you have a strong stomach check out American Microphone.

In their news and links section you will find this:

Recommended Sites

If you need anymore proof that these idiots do not have a clue, surf on over to blueforceblog.com. Here is a sample of the utter stupidity that fills this blog:
Welcome to the Blue Force Blog!

This community blog is dedicated to the discussion and debate pertaining to the "Fighting Dems" and the implementation of a progressive national security stance.
Democrats that want to implement a progressive national security stance? I thought their national security stance is to bring all the troops home and let terrorists have free run over the middle east. Wait a minute I might have found blueforceblog.com's plan for winning the war on terror:
Kevin Drum makes an interesting observation about Bush's "foreign policy":

...the Bush administration literally seems to have no foreign policy at all anymore. They have no serious plan for Iraq, no plan for Iran, no plan for North Korea, no plan for democracy promotion, no plan for anything. With the neocons on the outs, Condoleezza Rice at the State Department, and Dick Cheney continuing to drift into an alternate universe at the OVP, the Bush administration seems completely at sea. There's virtually no ideological coherency to their foreign policy that I can discern, and no credible followup on what little coherency is left...(more liberal BS, if you care to read the whole thing)
Nope sorry no plan there unless you consider saying Bush has no plan a plan. Let's see they bitch that Bush has no plan, which is a lie, say they are for the implementation of a progressive national security stance, but the only plan they have is to say that Bush has no plan for anything. Where the hell is your plan bluefarceblog?

I need a drink.
