If you need a project to gather up the family and hit the great outdoors with, here ‘ya go! Forrest Fenn, a multimillionaire from New Mexico, (finally a weird news story out of New Mexico that doesn’t involve insanity, alcohol or a meth lab!) was diagnosed with terminal cancer and decided to give away his [...]

Morning Show Musical Salute: New Mexicans Will Need Passports to Fly [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:49:37 +0000

Uncle Sam has been warning New Mexico for months to get its act together and tighten standards for receiving a driver's license. The Land of Enchantment won't do it! It WANTS illegal immigrants to have the same state-issued IDs everyone else does. So the feds say beginning next month New Mexicans can't use their licenses as ID to fly from any American airport, they must have a United States passport! Stupid, right? Yeah, we thought so, too, and we made a song about it...

Flipping a Coin to Win a Political Race? 5 Other Crazy Ways to Settle a Tie

Intern Emily — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:04:29 +0000

Politics are usually filled with boring debates and promises that are never met. The most entertainment I got out of this year’s elections were the hilarious remarks made by some republican men about women’s reproductive rights. Just when you think all this political nonsense is over, we could possible see a candidate win by a [...]

New Mexico Drivers Licenses May Not Work As ID

Teresa Provencio — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 16:29:48 +0000

New Mexico drivers licenses may not be acceptable identification come January. Unless Congress takes some action before January 15th, drivers licenses in New Mexico would not be a valid ID if the state keeps giving them to illegal immigrants. That would mean NM residents would need a passport to board a plane. The Real ID [...]

El Paso Has Highest Gas Prices In Texas

Dubba G — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:14:35 +0000

Granted, prices have fallen a bit lately but we still pretty much always do. Why? El Paso almost always has the highest average price in Texas, but I’ve never understood why. It’s always much cheaper in Mexico … couldn’t we just truck our own over? Even NEW Mexico tends to be cheaper. Can we bring theirs over? [...]

Duke Keith — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:20:44 +0000

When we talked about red light cameras on the show this morning, I JOKINGLY said people ought to go take 'em out. (I don't like those things, but I'm not advocating violence.) Coming from the Land of Enchantment, after watching this video maybe it's a New Mexico thing. Check out this old man in Santa Fé who decides to shoot up an unmanned radar station! Nice nightgown, Wilford Brimley!

True Crime Report, New Mexico: Man Leads Cops on Chase in School Bus [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:24:25 +0000

During the True Crime Report, we like to play “Florida or New Mexico” because the two states are, umm…over-represented when it comes to weird crime. Nathaniel Shipman ain’t helpin’ New Mexico’s stats, here, and we have dashcam video to prove it. Took awhile, but the New Mexico State Police and Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department got [...]

Dubba G — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 18:21:55 +0000

What is your favorite thing about El Paso?? The food? The weather?? Riding over mountains, past lakes, through desert, into pecan orchards and in and out of two different states ……. all in the SAME AFTERNOON?? Ok; that’s one of my favorite things about living in The Pass! We put that question up on The Q facebook page last [...]

Last week, a 20-year-old UNM football player named Deshon Marman was arrested at San Francisco International Airport. He was sagging his pants down around his thighs.

US Air says it's against their dress code...except they don't really have one because they let THIS old perv fly in women's lingerie!

The Most Talented Man I Ever Knew

Duke Keith — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 21:03:24 +0000

Dad always told me I need to cut back on the language.

Not bad language, just words.

A master of making a point in as few words as possible, my Dad, John Keith, died last week, aged 78.

His kidneys and heart had been worsening, though when he was in his heyday as sports information director/hospitality room host at Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas A&M he always said it would be his liver.
