@TomBarnardOG Dang it! What a bad week! This is making miss the old KQ show more than ever. I can still hear him saying, “Tommy, Tommy, Tommy…..”

I waited it out hoping it wasn’t true! Turns out a man I adored as a TRUE human being has indeed died! Phillip Wise was one of my best friends for 50 years, that’s why I waited hoping it wasn’t true. Well, it is. Philly Dog has died. I am crying as I write this. Love you Philly!

@murphfrommidway Congrats Bob! You missed some carts at Cub Har Mar btw.

23 years ago we said said our "I Do's". I've been outkicking the coverage since. Happy Anniversary Mama Bear.

@KBtheFirst KB1, the Philly dog passed away? Can you confirm this?

That explains a lot of things.

@bobsansevere Oh no.

Very sad. It was a privilege and pleasure to have known and worked with him for a number of years on the KQ Morning Show.

Hi. Meteorologist here. You’re going to lose that class action suit because you failed high school science.

@ashincolorado lol

Ready for a class action lawsuit? I am.

@landofthe80s I can’t believe that was 31 years ago. Insane!

You are all amazing! Thank you for your wonderful posts! YOU are the one’s who made the KQ morning show what it became. YOU are the one’s who are making the Tom Barnard family podcast. The support you have given my family is what has made my entire career.

Today we get to sing to you, @BigBird! It’s time to celebrate your birthday with Radar, lots of birdseed milkshakes, and all of your Sesame Street friends. 💛 #HappyBirthdayBigBird

@TomBarnardOG Tommy B, ya pill! We’re thinking about you during this time and praying for you.

Thank you all for the thousands of well-wishing posts. The doctors are working hard to stop it where it is. That would be great!

Love it! Something like this hooked me at his age too.

@MavrocksGirl Jimbo! Or as Dennis Becker calls him, “The Taco King!”

Do you know who John Wayne's favorite actor was? 🤔

@Jabz_CFC I remember a guy in junior high told me Ernie was his uncle. I thought no you’re full of it. Years later. It turns out he was right. 😁

Ernie Hudson reveals he does 100 pushups daily. Now 80 years old, The 'Ghostbusters' star beat cancer twice and hopes to reach the age of 100.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Michael Hingson was at his desk on the 78th floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Blind since birth, he had long relied on guide dogs to live independently. That morning, his partner was Roselle, a yellow Labrador he had been working with since 1999. She lay quietly under his desk as he prepared for the day, unaware that within minutes, her calmness would save a life. At 8:46 AM, American Airlines Flight 11 struck the tower just ten floors above Michael. The building shuddered violently, glass shattered, papers flew, and people screamed. Michael could feel the vibrations and hear the chaos, but he could not see it. His coworker David Frank urged him to evacuate immediately. Michael called for Roselle. In that moment of terror, she emerged from under the desk, stretched, and looked at him expectantly. Calm and steady, she waited for his command. Michael grabbed her harness, and together with David, they began their descent through Stairwell B. Smoke seeped in, the air grew thick, and stairwells were crowded with panicked people, yet Roselle never wavered. Step by step, she guided Michael down 1,463 stairs, her training and temperament carrying him safely past chaos that no guide dog could ever have fully prepared for. Around the 50th floor, the South Tower collapsed. Debris rained down, dust filled the stairwell, and panic threatened to overwhelm the crowd. Still, Roselle remained calm, focused entirely on her handler. The journey took about an hour, and when they finally emerged onto the street, the scene was apocalyptic. Michael could hear the destruction, smell smoke and dust, and feel the shockwaves, but Roselle guided him steadily away from danger. They eventually took shelter in a subway entrance and later walked miles home to New Jersey, crossing bridges and navigating streets closed to the public. Throughout it all, Roselle remained composed, finally resting only when she reached home, exhausted but unharmed. Roselle had not performed superhuman feats. She simply did what she was trained to do: remain calm, focus on her handler, and navigate hazards step by step. On that day, her professionalism and unwavering loyalty saved Michael’s life. She became an emblem of quiet heroism, receiving numerous awards including the American Kennel Club’s Ace Award and Guide Dog of the Year. She passed away in 2011, but her story endures as a testament to courage, training, and the profound bond between humans and animals. Some heroes wear badges, some uniforms, and some wear harnesses, guiding their humans through literal and unimaginable darkness. On 9/11, Roselle was that hero.

Isiah Pacheco says Detroit Lions should refer to him as “Taz” “I’m gonna go crazy. I’m gonna spin, jump, whatever I can do to get that first down.”

@walz_ing I agree. Klobuchar will get in, nothing will change.

I’m not sure why, but I’m feeling that hopeless despair I felt during 2008-2016 and 2020-2024. I feel like we will never get Minnesota back. We may never truly get the USA back, and most of Europe is lost forever.

@TheMonologist The film that got me into filmmaking.

FARGO (1996)

@MavrocksGirl Rockford, but which episode?

Looks familiar....
