I was switching back and forth between him and Mike and Kate......Kind of interesting, at almost the same exact time that Tooker was talking to the gov., Mike and Kate were talking about being invited to the Govenors ball, and what they should wear and how Mike should act etc....It was the classic difference of talking about your market and being a part of the market. It's not Tookers fault, but it will be very hard to make in roads against Mike and Kate, they really do live the lifestyle and are extremely involved in every aspect of the treasure valley. Kate's single and lives the young single livestyle, Mike is married with 7 kids of all different ages, and he lives that lifesyle. Plus they have the added advantage of living here really for a long time, and knowing everybody. They don't have to ask what they need to do to become a bosean, they've already done it and have moved on to being a real part of the listeners lives. I wish Tooker good luck, maybe he has something to bring to the table that is much better than we heard the first week, because, to this listener, if he doesn't he's not gonna be able to beat Mike and Kate and within a year it will be back to battling the other ooker and trying to beat Kiss again. Whatever the case, it will be an uphill battle. Who knows, at the very least, even if he can't win in the ratings, maybe he makes everybody better just being on air.......that's something at least.

It’s not Tookers fault, but it will be very hard to make in roads against Mike and Kate, they really do live the lifestyle and are extremely involved in every aspect of the treasure valley. Kate’s single and lives the young single livestyle, Mike is married with 7 kids of all different ages, and he lives that lifesyle.
