To my neighbors laughing and having a good olโ time on your screened in porch with a bunch of people over, your neighborhood is judging you right now.
Iโm at a stoplight in downtown Minneapolis. Iโm looking at this sign and it hits me. The orange arrow isnโt a smile like I always thought it was. Itโs to suggest they have everything from โAโ to โZโ. Am I only one whoโs missed this all this time?
It seems hypocritical for Hollywood to throw a big party for itself including $100,000 gift bags for already-rich celebrities, while also talking about the unequal distribution of wealth, the hungry and the homeless.
I respect Tom Brady and I donโt dislike the Patriots. Iโm just so bored with them being in the Playoffs. Thereโs nothing more boring than a dynasty. Itโs like going on the same vacation every year to Iowa when you never really cared about Iowa in the first place.
I really donโt think kids have any idea how important they are to their parents, or how immeasurably their parents love them, until one day when they have kids of their own.
To spread a little joy during this time, our neighborhood encouraged anyone who plays an instrument to play on their driveway at 5 oโclock this afternoon. Carson and I had a great time and it was fun to bring some smiles and laughter to our street. Mostly laughter but still...
I was on a plane from Vegas when a passenger announced the verdict after seeing it on his phone. Everyone was applauding and happy and smiles were everywhere. A black guy saw me applauding too and gave me a somewhat surprised but pretty freaking happy smile.
All these years later I still get a check about once a year for my tiny part in the movie โJoe Somebody.โ Have you seen it? You hear my voice on the radio as Tim Allen is waking up the day of the big fight.
Iโm a gun owner. (Not a gun nut) I would gladly give up all my guns if it meant there would never be another mass shooting or even one more innocent person killed. But thereโs no possible way to eliminate all guns. What is the solution? IS there a solution?
Iโm turning left in about 6 miles so I think Iโll get over into the left lane now and go about 5 miles under the speed limit., Signed, half of Minnesota drivers.
Good people can make a mistake and get a DUI. But someone with more than one? Seriously FUCK YOU. Don't put my kids in danger because you're a fuck up, then ask me for advice on how to get out of it.
Thank you
@daveryankdwb
for going off on the women who called for her boyfriend with 3 DUIโs. I was yelling at my radio before you started. Donโt feel bad for either of them!!
Hey
@jimmyfallon
I host a morning show on
@1013KDWB
in Minneapolis. Watching your show every night (even though I should be sleeping! Love to talk to you one morning soon on our show about life in quarantine, staying sane, etc. DM me if you want to set up a quick call or Zoom!
@fasc1nate
It wasnโt fashionable. No one smiled in paintings either and in early photography, those paintings were what they modeled their pose after.
I didnโt vote for you, Governer Walz, but you have been a tremendous leader during all this. Very reassuring and informative. Keep pushing the mask message because, Science. Thank you.
I did nothing all day. Never even changed out of my pajamas. I felt I wasted the entire day, then I realized I spent the day with my family. And that is the most important thing we can do during the day.
Thought: When this is all over and if it ends with a lot of people dying, the people who took it seriously will never quite forgive the people who refused to take it seriously. Those who spread it carelessly and overwhelmed the system causing people to die.
Friend of mine suspected the whole COVID thing was being hyped up. Then she got it. Sheโs miserable but sheโll survive. Now sheโs reminding you to wear your mask, distance and be smart. Too bad it took her getting it to believe its real. ๐ท
Austin is a boy who's cat died. He volunteered at the humane society and fell in love with a cat named Grizzard. He wanted to adopt him but someone beat him to it. The good news, that someone was his mom! And Santa told him the good news! ๐บโค๏ธ
Hi
@gwenstefani
I do the morning show
@1013KDWB
Minneapolis. Weโve played your music for years! Met you backstage with a listener who got to interview you. Weโd love to have you on our show for a quick chat about staying sane while stuck at home. DM me to set up a quick call!
Sunday night reminder: Stay calm. A few weeks ago, the media had us believing we were on the verge of World War 3. Now itโs the corona virus. The media loves grabbing stuff like this and using it to turn a profit. Relax, breath, be kind to everyone.
Have you ever noticed that a lot of the people who post on social media about how โkindness mattersโ and how important it is to be nice, are some of the snottiest people youโve met?
I hope all the selfish people who are buying up all the cold meds, soup, Purel and bottled water will donate it to charity after this has passed. And yes, I realize it will likely get worse, but experts say a 2 week supply is all weโd need.

@POTUS
The whole โpay your fair shareโ bit implies they arenโt already paying their fair share. They are. More than their fair share. This is why people hate politics. Itโs all smoke and mirrors. Lies and deception all to stay in office and in power. Never for the good of the people.
Two things. 1. Iโm on all morning taking your calls so you have a voice.
@1013KDWB
canโt just stand by and watch. 2. The mayor and I both need a haircut.

A psychologist says โConnections matter. A smile is sometimes better than anything you can prescribe.โ This is why I smile at strangers on a walk. It may be the only smile they see that day. It sucks that some people judge it as wrong or creepy.
Iโm a nice guy and moderately considerate some of the time. AND: The button on your airline seat is your button. The space your seat reclines into isnโt MY space, itโs YOUR space. I might not like it, but you have every right to use YOUR button to recline into YOUR space.
I think one thing Iโm learning in life is there are certain people who get smiled at so infrequently that when you smile at them they look surprised as if theyโre not quite sure how to react to someone smiling. Keep smiling at them.
Guy gets a job but his car breaks down before he can start. So he walked 20 miles to make it to work on time. The cops see, him, buy him breakfast and give him a ride. His boss finds out and then gives him a new car. WOW!
I hope the Vikings win today. Do you realize they havenโt been to the Super Bowl in 40 years? 40. Randomness alone would have put them in the Super Bowl at least a few times since then. I hate the fact that loyal Vikings fans have never experienced what a championship feels like.
My dad survived World War 2 but many did not. Memorial Day isnโt a โlong weekend.โ Itโs a day to honor the memories and sacrifices of those who never made it home.
A guy in Florida offered to pay a panhandler $15 an hour to do yard work, but he refused. So the guy went home . . . made his own sign SHAMING the panhandler for it . . . then followed him around to let other people know what happened.
Itโs a great Day to remember a chapter from my book: Shovel an old personโs driveway. I will add, even if they have the โwrongโ sign in their yard. In fact, *especially* if they have the โwrongโ sign in their yard.
Am I the only one who hates digital billboards? Just about the time I get close enough to read them it changes to something else. And by that time Iโm also .453 seconds from rear ending the person in front of me.
Oh wow. Donโt go out unless you have to. The roads are atrocious and traffic is creeping along at a snailโs pace. This traffic report has been sponsored by me, Dave Ryan.
If you have to work tomorrow and canโt stay home because of the weather, remember not to stress too much in traffic. Everyone else will be late too. Oh, and listen to our show for stress relief, laughs and a great distraction. ๐๐ป
So excited to announce that Iโll be filling in on
@daveryankdwb
when
@falenkdwb
goes on maternity leave! I canโt wait to revisit my 1st radio gig and hang with you all again! ๐ (I promise to keep your area clean, Falen ๐) cc:

Are you looking for something to be offended by? Iโve done the hiring. Iโve made the choices. That kind of speaks for itself. One day when you run a department, you can and should call it your own.
5.3 miles on the treadmill. 762 cal burned in one hour and three minutes. Not bad for an old guy. I hope you are taking care of your health and fitness. Remember exercise helps with your mood and your outlook.
#MotionEqualsEmotion
Iโm about to play Taps in my driveway for Memorial Day. If you play bugle or trumpet, please play at 3pm to honor those who died in service to our country.
Friday at 7am Iโm doing something Iโve never done on
@1013KDWB
to show unity and compassion for the problems and challenges POC face. I hope you can listen.
