And when you smile for the camera, I know they're gonna love it....

It's frigid outside but the it'll be nice an toasty in the Patriot bunker this afternoon. So grab some hot chocolate, sit by the fire and enjoy today's edition of The Closer. The one-hour gab fest begins at 2:00 PM Central Time.

For the entire program, I will have guest co-hosts! Yes, my friends Julia Erynn and Kate Wilson will sit in to discuss politics, pop culture and anything else that may be on their minds. Heck, if all goes well I may cede the last segment or two to check in on the Vikings playoff game!

So please give us a call at (651) 289-4488 if you'd like to weigh in on any of the topics we plan on addressing. You can also text comments/questions to (651) 243-0390.

You can listen live in the Twin Cities at AM 1280 on your radio dial. In and out of the Minneapolis-St Paul area, you can listen to the program on the Internet by clicking this link, or check us out via iheart radio. 

Even though I have a face for radio, there is a UStream channel where you can watch the broadcast, if you so desire. Check it out here.  

And if you're so inclined, follow along on Twitter at #narn or "Like" our Facebook page.

Until then.....
