Looks like I’m not getting very far today…

@thauserkstp My husband says this EVERY SINGLE DAY.

How many games this year will Twins fans ask themselves, “What if the team hadn’t traded every decent reliever last year?” Just a thought…⚾️

@JoshWheeler23 Go Josh!!!☺️

Being told recently by a doctor I’m pre-diabetic and in bad health at age 33 was all the motivation I needed to start really losing weight. Currently 372.4 pounds. Shooting for 300 by end of Summer 2026. Today I went for a 2 mile walk because it’s amazing out. It begins. 💪🏼

@SteveThomsonMN I love when you get a cardinal...they are very special to me 🥰

Bird of the day!

@pdouglasweather @WeatherLoon Thank you for the detail and good to see your face!! If I had a driveway, the stakes would remain. I do still have shovels propped against our back hut....should prob leave those too 🙄

So nice of everyone who reached out: WCCO Radio is owned by Audacy, we are not shutting down. CBS Radio's Hourly News Updates will end in a couple months. Not sure what that means- will we find another provider like Fox or ABC Radio? Will we fold national news into our local updates? TBD.

@MNBroadcasters Thanks Wendy for being such a fabulous advocate for us!!

@JoshWheeler23 I smell a segment here.......small talk with Josh.....

Yes, I’m NOW required to create small talk with you, the shopper. Yes, this makes for a lot of awkward conversations this holiday season. Yes, I might use the “6, 7” to entertain your kid/teen Yes, I will tell you Baker Mayfield is the best QB in the NFL. - Target TM Josh

@SloaneMartin You're a rising star Sloane Martin!! 😊

Getting more and more excited that the season’s almost here 🏀🦚😊

From new school safety drills to lawn signs asking residents to vote "YES," there's plenty to consider with the school year in full swing. Not to mention a statewide teacher shortage. Laura Oakes takes "A Closer Look" at teachers on the front lines. audacy.com/wccoradio/news…

@BoydHuppert You're the best! ☺️

Here’s a preview of my story tonight. What a great way to send out summer.

@DanCookWCCO Yeah. I once asked a woman I did not know when she was due. She was not pregnant. 🤦‍♀️

I've literally avoided saying hello to people I *do* know because I was terrified of this exact situation. 😂

@ChadHartmanShow ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

14 years ago, a few months after Charlie joined our family. He brought us joy every single day. Endless happy memories. Yesterday, we had to say Goodbye to Charlie. Awful, but the right decision for his dignity. We will never forget you. We love you Charlie 💔
