Hi! I’m Tom Garrett, and for the past 15 years I’ve called Rochester my home. Originally from St. Paul’s east side, my radio career has brought me to the east coast and back. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been getting up at 3:45am for the past 25 years. My wife, Julie, and I are the proud parents of Michael. He’s 12 years cancer-free and studying to be a teacher at Winona State. When we moved to town in ’97 he was only 5 years old. Time flies, indeed. I’m here to wake you up each weekday morning with great music, the hot stories of the day, and on occasion some really great prizes. Thanks for making Y105 part of your morning routine!

Going Through the Quick Quack Car Wash Too Quickly
Last Friday, an old guy in Sacramento, California drove through a car wash at FULL SPEED. It's not clear what happened, he was confused and slammed on the gas. But from the video, he looks like he was doing about 30 miles an hour.
He ended up making it the whole way through, then crashed into a vacuum cleaner...
Throwback Thursday: “Where Are They Now?” — Lipps Inc.
In 1979, the Minneapolis band Lipps Inc. released their debut album “Mouth to Mouth”. You may not remember that album, but I’m sure you’re familiar with its biggest hit, “Funkytown”. It hit #1 in 28 countries and sold more than 35 million copies.

Pop is Perturbed by Paint Brothers
Some of us may have experienced our young kids getting into something they shouldn't have gotten into. This one shows two young brothers who got into some paint and their father giving them the "twenty questions" bit. Their responses are hilarious, and the vid seems to just keep getting funnier...
Bet You Didn’t Know the Moon Is a Planet
Boy, if you can't trust a TV shopping network host, who CAN you trust?
Fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi is on QVC all the time hawking stuff. And recently, he and his co-host were talking about a women's shirt, and she said the green pattern reminded her of what the Earth looks like from the moon...
Congrats to Our Bon Jovi Package Winner!

Best of BBC Talking Animals
This is a classic I thought I'd share with those who have never seen the "Talking Animal" series from the BBC. Some of these are funnier than others, but the video should at least crack a smile on most faces. Enjoy.
Ultimate Basketball Juggler
It's Monday, and a lot of us have lots to juggle this week...especially THIS young lady.
Helping with Homework Isn’t So Easy?
Are you smarter than a fifth grader? No, really...
From Daily Mail, a new study finds two out of three parents say they can't help their child with homework . . . because it's too hard.
Tired of Winter Yet?
Yeah, this pretty much sums it up...
