The final episode of 2021 is here! It's back to regularly scheduled programming for Mike and Dave this week as we Mike Check to kick things off. Mike gives us an overview of upcoming legislation that he and his colleagues will be tackling when the new session begins in the middle of next month, and he also provides ways for listeners to engage with new bills. We then transition to Christmas traditions and New Years Resolutions to close out the episode.


We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Stay safe and we'll see you in 2022.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are a handful of expletives in this week's episodes. Please keep this in mind when listening around others.


On a special second episode released this week, we interview Carl Monzo, a lifelong friend of Mike's and the CEO of National Event Services, a company specializing in crowd management at large events. Carl talks about his experience working in the festival industry, the intricacies of planning such large events, and what can go wrong when not enough time is spent mapping out every detail (i.e. Fyre Festival). Mike and Carl also spend time reminiscing about their high school experiences and staying connected with their friend group.
