How do you know when your advertising is effective? When someone flies in from New Mexico to buy a car. We are joined by long time KQ and Podcast listener Charlie 'n Albuquerque. Turns out he and Tom likely crossed paths in the record business in the early 70's.  Some great stories for the last show of the year. We will return on January 7th. Here's to hoping for a better year. Happy Holidays to one and all.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Minnesota House Republican Pat Garofolo and Democratic House Ryan Winkler join us to talk politics. These guys are actually aligned on more issues than one would think. We learn the THC gummies legislation passed in the last session under the radar and will be legal tomorrow (July 1) in Minnesota. We also talk about legalization of sports gambling legislation that Pat wrote and almost passed in the last session. Ryan talks about his campaign for Hennepin county attorney and Pat admits that if he was a Hennepin county resident, he'd vote for Ryan. Unfortunately for Ryan's campaign, Pat would also endorse Dr. Jensen. These two are great guests and always worth a listen.  Finally we talk about Tom's announcement that he's leaving the Morning show in December. Doug suggests renaming the podcast "Dougie and the Quitter." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
