Our grand kids couldn't believe we listen to radio until polka night when we taught them to polka to APHC music. We had a blast, love you for making that night possible.

Keep the real music coming; over-produced music wearies the soul.

my ex #2 says he always looks constipated" - Your ex need to relax? (ex-lax); regular fiber is probably better.

by Hilary 3/29/2014 10:46:47 PM
Kharrin, your request is registered!

Guy Noir, where is the 12th floor of the Acne building?

by Tim 3/29/2014 10:48:00 PM
Can you imagine Guy Noir's voicemail?

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 10:48:02 PM
Whoa, there are even more people behind Fred Neumann, Tim Russell, and Sue Scott! Who are those?

by Chak Man Yeung 3/29/2014 10:48:17 PM
Acne building?! Ick!

by Chak Man Yeung 3/29/2014 10:48:34 PM
Yep, Chak Man. That's part of why Garrison's back appears on video. He's basically in the center of a theater in the round.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 10:49:03 PM
Oh, great--- let's watch the performance (Quit talking to yourself, goshdangitt !)

by Kharrin 3/29/2014 10:49:15 PM
I believe it is Acme, not Acne….

Yea, your right "in the woods". Acme. Finger went on the wrong key.

by Tim 3/29/2014 10:50:14 PM
Yes, ACME, but,once, it was Acne...

by Hilary 3/29/2014 10:50:26 PM
I Love Sue Scott...

Sue is incredibly talented. I love her takes on any "mom" character, too.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 10:52:20 PM
"On-Hold for an hour & a Half" ?

by Kharrin 3/29/2014 10:53:15 PM
BAWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! A phone that won't hang up when on hold!

by Chak Man Yeung 3/29/2014 10:53:20 PM
Personal Identification Number Number?

by Chak Man Yeung 3/29/2014 10:53:42 PM
PIN is a number! You don't need to say 'number'...

by A. Campbell 3/29/2014 10:54:06 PM
Julia: what is the date of Garrison's previously announced retirement? And again...any word on what will happen to the show with is retirement?!?

by Midcoast Maine Sailor 3/29/2014 10:54:21 PM
Oh man, I busted out laughing, "I'm not going to stick my sandwich into the phone!"

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 10:54:36 PM
I just had some video loading trouble. Anyone else experience that?

by john pea 3/29/2014 10:54:56 PM

by Will Westerfield 3/29/2014 10:55:11 PM
I'm still ggod

by charles boren 3/29/2014 10:55:20 PM
Sue said: "Put your sandwich into the mouthpiece.."

by Kharrin 3/29/2014 10:55:38 PM
Off and on I've been having video buffering issues. I need a faster connection....

by Cheryl from Park City 3/29/2014 10:55:42 PM
Great fun......

by Bob1957 3/29/2014 10:55:43 PM
Midcoast Maine Sailor heavens those are questions I couldn't answer. Garrison has considered options over the years but he keeps on hitting the stage! Are you worried or excited about the idea of the show being like Car Talk or have a new host?

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 10:56:13 PM
A couple of bucks?! I think Guy came out ahead on that one!

by Chak Man Yeung 3/29/2014 10:56:25 PM
Kharrin that was a great line, might have to use that one with kids.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 10:56:35 PM
Cheryl, did a refresh help? Sometimes local connections struggle with video streams.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 10:57:02 PM
Just preordered Willie Waton's new download. Check him out on Another Day, Another Time on Showtime.

by busguy5 3/29/2014 10:57:45 PM
NO GK is like no peanut butter without the jam!!!

by charles boren 3/29/2014 10:57:46 PM
Julia ~ while I like Car Talk...I like Garrison and the show much more...so I'm worried about the future of PHC!

by Midcoast Maine Sailor 3/29/2014 10:57:56 PM
Minnesotans must be struggling with this hug segment!

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 10:57:58 PM
