Waters here from the Waters Wake Up call.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend and Friday morning was National Common Sense Day, so I just wanted to hear some common sense.
I
think it's something that's migrating from the brain to people's thoughts.
So they sit on it for more cursing instead of actually using it.
That's one of those illegal immigration
problems.
That's
a good
point.
With the job I'm in, garbage and recycling.
And in our recycling, we have people who will put in used diapers.
Was that wrong?
What do you think recycled diapers would look like?
I don't think anybody would want those.
Oh, it's just common
sense.
It's funny you bring up the whole common sense migrating down to the butt, and then you bring up the diaper thing.
I think that's, boom, you brought that back beautifully, my friend.
You're absolutely right.
Yep.
And if you don't have common sense, you are a load of diaper crap.
That's what you are.
So it's common sense you'd be calling and giving us all a lesson on common sense, right?
Yeah.
So what do you have to say about common sense?
Well,
I guess that's pretty common.
I don't know if it really takes sense, though, for it to get dark.
That is
common.
How about this?
Common sense is putting your lights on.
Not having any common sense is driving around in the dark with no headlights.
That's very true.
See, it's something we have control over.
It makes sense to us, so we do it.
And those people who don't have the common sense have what I call the nonsense, so they could be causing an accident or any number of things.
Okay, I call somebody, I miss dial it, and the person says, well, what number?
did you dial
and of course it's their number you know they should
know your number mr. wizard right
what they should say is what number did you intend to dial and then if they read off the number and that's not the number they called then you can tell them and they can go try again and if not it was probably some girl who gave a dope a wrong number so they wouldn't bother them oh that makes more sense man it's common sense see you're so smart
Yeah,
what
what do
you got?
I think that's
very well
put
Well, you're not using common sense.
It's also not for like fixing an electrical appliance that's plugged in.
Yes, and you run that.
Yeah.
And then you say, the next time you have to do an electrical appliance, oh yeah, don't use the knife.
Yeah, I hope
you've learned something from your... I don't always use common sense either, but... No!
I've tried to use it for the most part.
That's how I got as old as I am.
Right!
Well, you have some common sense.
You may not have all the common sense, but you have common sense.
And even more important, the life of those around you will go
much
smoother as
well.
Hi.
Hi.
This is Jim.
Hey, Jim, how are you?
Good.
Say hi in your comments, I'm seeing my daughter who at the time was like 12 years old.
Her and I are sitting having supper and she asked me, do you believe in like when you die that you come back to somebody else?
My sister made reincarnation.
She goes, well, I don't know about all that.
And you know what I mean?
I said, yeah.
And she goes, we were talking about this and I had just learned that, you know, the human population is growing exponentially.
And
I
said, well, if someone is born and there's not someone to go into their new bodies and an old soul to go in, what happens?
She goes, well, maybe they get a new soul.
And so then we were like talking about it and it's like, so maybe that's why there's not enough common sense anymore because there's too many people with new souls that don't have all that experience.
Pretty smart 12-year-old.
I mean, that could be.
Because you do hear the expression, they're an old soul.
If they are young and
They seem to have a little more common sense, or they seem a little bit more intelligent.
Beyond their years, you say they're an old soul, so I think that's a pretty cool theory.
Sounds like a smart 12-year-old.
How old is she now?
So what does she think
now?
Boy, that sounds kind of creepy when you put it that way.
You know what?
There aren't enough people dying these days.
What we need are more Darwin awards to be handed out.
You know what Darwin awards are, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You do something so stupid, it takes you out, thinning of the herd, that kind of thing.
Now, the bad thing these days, you know, we keep trying to protect these people.
You know, the whole thinning of the herd thing just went out the window.
Right.
That's a good point, you know?
One dope gets a jart in the head and...
And now we can't have them ruining the fun for everybody else.
Yeah,
well,
I think that's why the media put in roundabouts.
Yeah, because in a roundabout way, we need to get through this crap.
Yes, you still have to use and people just barrel through if they see somebody coming from the right.
Oh, I got a race in there before they get around to my area so I could just better speed on into the roundabout.
I like the guys that go right straight through.
Yeah, that's fantastic.
Those people I want to meet with a large friend of mine.
Not me, because I'm a wimp.
I fight like a chicken with cramps, but I'd like to meet those people with a large friend of
mine.
You have to do a thing.
Don't do it themselves.
It's a process of elimination.
Common sense tells you every morning wake up and listen to 10570.
Hey, I know I do.
And common sense also tells me to call in and get some Boston smoking on Friday.
That makes common sense.
And you know what else makes common sense?
Well, what's that?
Kiss the DJ's butt before you ask for a request.
That is the trifecta.
I always taught my students actions have consequences.
Consequences are predictable.
You're responsible for your actions, therefore you're responsible for the consequence.
That's really good.
I'm going to have to memorize that one.
Some of my students have and still remind me of it years later.
Thank you for being a teacher.
Appreciate that.
If they have common sense, the rest is
easy.
How are ya hollocks?
Hey, I'm doing great.
It's my birthday.
Well, happy birthday, hollanoats.
Thank you very much.
Yes, how old are you?
Uh, old enough to know better.
Old enough to have common sense then, I guess.
Yes.
What is the big piece of common sense that we could all learn from?
If
it's freaking raining and you've got your wipers on, turn on your damn headlight.
Common sense.
Absolutely common sense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or
in the construction zone, and it says 50 mile an hour, slow down.
But you gotta do 80 to the construction.
Right.
And it's not just to slow you down.
There are workers there.
There are people doing their jobs.
And if you're going 80, especially on a wet day like this, who knows what could happen.
Slow down.
You know, I'm out here driving and I'm gonna try to get over and I can't.
Oh, hey, you don't have a headlights on.
You gotta see that kind of crap all the time.
People will never learn.
Okay, we haven't
done this in a long time.
All right.
Common Sense has just told me there was a reason I hadn't asked you to do that in such a long time.
That's
right.
The enthusiasm you give when you do that, it trumps all else.
And the last Common Sense would be to listen to the Mike Waters wake-up call on the KOKC app.
Wow, see, unlike the last guy, he kissed my butt and then did the request.
You did the request and then kissed my
butt.
But still,
any
order works.
That's right, have it in the Mike water.
That's right.
It's good to hear from you.
I'm glad you called me on your birthday so I could say happy birthday, man.
Hey man, thank you man.
Weekday mornings, 5.30 to
10.
Hey, it's Mike Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.
Tuesday this morning, we were talking about ringtones.
Mike, Diesel, how are you?
I guess you could say I'm doing decent, Diesel.
I
don't want to block the... I walk a lot of cars, but I'm going to be going by here in a second.
I'll be the second semi, not the first one.
He pulled out front of me,
so... Oh, that's sort of a... I see one semi.
Hold on.
I'm the second one.
Okay.
There we go.
Oh, I got it.
You know what?
I'm going to make that my ringtone.
There you go.
Yeah, that'd be a good
one.
When anybody calls now for the day, your horn will be the ringtone.
I got CW McCall.
And yours is CW McCall.
That's very appropriate, Diesel.
I like that one,
too.
All right, Robert Duck.
Well, we'll haul her at you later.
10-4.
Get you on the flip
flop.
Well, listen to that.
Diesel's truck horn tells me I got another call.
Hello?
I think that we ought to give up on the cowbell.
Maybe you are, but I'm not.
We ought to hunt some turkeys and go get you a turkey call.
Hey, yeah.
Do they wear bells around their neck like the cows do?
Well, I went to the doctor the other day and I was diagnosed with cowbell withdrawal syndrome.
So he said drink melt and I think the melt has given me a kidney stone.
At least it's not giving you a teat.
If it gives you a teat, you've drank too much.
Are you ready for my turkey call real quick?
Yeah.
Sounds like my wife on Fast Forward.
I'm gonna use your turkey call as my ringtone.
Okay.
I'm gonna mix it in with diesels.
So I'll mix the truck horn with your turkey call and that'll be my ringtone for the rest of the day.
Let's hear your turkey call.
It's a little weak.
Hey, it's not cool to be a jive turkey so close to Thanksgiving.
All right.
I think it's trying to tell me I've got another phone
call.
I used to have ringtones because I always needed to know if it was a friendly person or a work person.
And I used to ride the commuter trains between Chicago and the suburb.
and I'd be sitting there and all of a sudden one ringtone would go off and everybody around me would just scare at me because it would don't pair the reaper.
Oh no.
That was my wife.
You're no longer with the reaper,
correct?
No.
Okay.
That's good.
I might have been poor shadowing.
Some of those spouses will drive you to an early grave, that is true.
Maybe that was very appropriate.
Yeah, it went from you are my son giant to don't pair the
reaper.
those telltale signs because
the opposite of that
song is Don't Fear the Reaper, I believe.
Yeah, I believe that's correct.
This is uh, Jesus Cole, and uh, my ringtone for my landlord is highway to hell.
Highway to hell for the landlord.
You know when he's coming because he's on a rampage, so.
Every time he calls, you're basically telling him where to go.
Exactly.
Well, I'm hoping he leaves you alone for a little while.
Oh, he has been lately.
Good, well, tell you what, if he starts bothering you, you call me.
I'll come over and I'll, uh, I'll give him a talking to, huh?
Okay, that sounds good.
Well, all right.
Hey,
buddy.
Mr. Sir Mike Waters.
Well, Trucker Little John, how are you?
Huh?
I'm doing.
I'm trucking.
Well, no surprise there.
So tell me about your ringtones there, Trucker Little John.
Just one.
Yes.
As
you know, I like to call me Trucker Little John.
Yep.
So for my boss, he's my hell of a guy.
Nice.
Loaded
up and trucking.
Loaded up and trucking.
Is he kind of a bandit?
Does he go and steal things and truck beer and all that kind of thing?
No.
Okay.
That's good.
Because you don't want to work for a guy like that.
At least you wouldn't want to admit to it.
Well, no, of course not.
I wouldn't expect to ask you and you go, oh yeah, yeah, that's exactly why.
Because he, he robs and he
steals.
Let me get on the radio and tell you all this.
that I've done the illegal.
Yeah, there you go.
Well, you know what?
If he were to, say, rob from the rich and give to the poor, he could be Robin Hood, you could be Trucker Little John, and boom.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a little top part of it in here.
Sure.
You guys go all over the forest, and you rob from the rich, give to the poor, and then, you know, of course, you keep a little for yourselves, and then you get out of here with all the money, and you go off the grid.
Just make a truck load of
money.
A truck,
yes.
Long time lester, first time car.
Hey!
Hey, well, thanks for finally calling.
What's your name?
Hell, the lawnmower man.
I've touched you before.
You have?
Yeah.
Good to talk to you,
hell.
I got a real funny story about your ringtones.
Last night, you hit a plug on it, and I was out in the garage, faintly listening, and
I
heard a ringtone, and I reached in my pocket to get my phone, because it was the same as mine.
And it happens to be a good bed in the ugly.
Because somebody asked me, why do you have that for a ringtone?
because it's always going to be either good, bad, or ugly in my
answer.
You must have heard my promo for what I was doing today, and I know I played that in the promo, so you heard it and went to your phone.
Right.
That's hilarious.
I love your reason for having it, too, because it's always going to be good, bad, or ugly, whatever's on the other end.
Yep.
Thanks for calling with that, Al.
Great to finally talk to you.
Yeah, have a good day, and good day every day.
What's your favorite
ringtone?
My favorite ringtone?
Well, you know, one of my favorites.
I have a friend by the name of Al, and when he talks, he sounds a little like a muppet.
You know, he kind of talks like this, and, uh, you know, hey, how you doing, Mike?
How are ya?
You know, he kind of sounds like that.
So here's my ringtone for my friend, Al.
No, no, no, no.
Now, see, the problem with that particular one is I like that little tune so much.
It reminds me of my childhood, and it's so fun and quirky that...
Sometimes I don't answer the phone because I want to hear the whole song and then Al has hung up.
So I've kind of learned from that.
So there's a couple of mine.
OK, now you got to share yours, Iron Man.
That's
one of mine.
Of
course, that's her favorite song as I know.
Those are good.
Those are great ringtones.
I know, I know my cowbell's been abducted.
So I don't know what to tell you.
Hasn't been found yet.
We've been covering the perimeter and doing a search, but still no cowbell.
Hopefully soon, Iron
Man.
Let's go visit and see that coming.
Okay.
Mr. Water!
Dad!
How are you, my friend?
Oh, playing in the wind.
Because it's a little breezy out there, ain't it?
Yes, it is.
A little bit.
So what's up today, man?
What's going on?
I hear you're talking about ringtones.
I am.
What do you got for a ringtone?
Do you have ringtones for members of the family?
Or what do you got?
Mine's a train whistle.
Just a train whistle.
Just for anybody who calls.
Yep.
Why a train whistle?
It's loud.
And you'll hear it.
You don't have any special ring for, say, the amazing Ronda?
Nope.
OK.
Well, you should.
One ring fits all.
One ring fits all.
Well, don't tell your bride that, but I'll play you one of my notifications.
It's not quite a train whistle, but it's a bell.
OK.
Hot
pockets.
Yeah.
Hot
pockets.
So when anybody calls, it's almost like my hot pockets are done.
Yeah.
When you
want a
hot meal.
Now now I'm getting all these old jingles coming at me Yeah train whistle, so if you always had kind of had a fascination with trains Yes, I have like have you ridden a lot of trains were you ever a hobo in another life?
Yeah, well, you know what your trucker Todd and there's another guy by the name of Bucks car Willie you ever meet him you guys should get together No, I never met him.
Well, I never knew you were a train guy.
Do you have a Lionel at home used to
Used to.
Very interesting.
Was it this kind of a situation where you lost it?
Were you watching the Adams family and Gomez Adams was running his trains and then he hit that little button and it exploded?
Is that what happened to yours?
You thought, hey, I got some fireworks in the back.
Let me try that.
Was it that?
No, I've never done that.
No, you've never blown up your train set?
Nope.
