WINTER SURVIVAL KIT CHECKLIST

The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Wed Dec 21, 2022

Water's here from the water's wake-up call.

Thanks for joining me this morning and helping me with my winter survival kit checklist.

Pepper meant schnapps.

And should you forget, I will always send a Saint Bernard with Brandy around his neck in that little barrel.

Absolutely.

Let's take another one.

Hi.

You keep a book in the car, so you'll be entertained at least.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know that snow plow can just take its time.

I've got a good book.

Okay, a good book.

Just don't read it while you're driving in this

stuff.

Mike, I hope you can hear the common sense PSA, but alcohol will actually make you die quicker.

Why?

Alcohol is a phageous dilator, which means it opens up the blood vessels.

So it allows the warm up blood from your core to flow to your skin, thus making you feel warmer, but cooling you off faster.

Oh my god.

Well, thank goodness you've called with this.

Right?

Yeah.

I needed you to be responsible because I know some of your listeners will not.

Now, that being said, I always carry at least an us weekly in a boat.

That way you always have something to burn.

That's probably

what I would bring with me and maybe Bride Magazine as well.

Yeah.

I just read that staff that 80% of the divorces

are now being filed by women.

Well, maybe after we're done with the winner survival kit, we could do a divorce survival kit.

We

run up in a small town here in Iowa.

All we were ever taught was have an empty can, a candle, matches, and a bag of kitty litter.

Yes, kitty litter to get through the slippery spots.

That's a great idea.

I have a bag in my car every year.

Do you use brand new kitty litter or used kitty litter?

I just grab a brand new bag every year.

You could, but you'll save money because the used kitty litter works.

There you go.

That's disgusting.

Let's stop talking about

that.

Give us snowplow drivers lots of room tonight.

We're gonna need

it It's got to be a hard job anyway, but to have somebody right there or passing you real close It's not good for you.

It's not good for the driver.

Talk about dangerous.

Yeah, I run up and down the highways and with the snow and the wind Visibility for us is going to be close to zero

Good morning, morning, morning.

What's up?

What's happening?

Are you ready for the big storm a

coming?

You

love you love winter.

What do you love about winter?

I

do love that aspect as well as

it kills

the pollen and the mold spores

and all that crap with my

allergies

Are you an

outdoors person during the winter do you go skiing and snowmobiling and all that

or

Did

you grow up around here in Iowa somewhere?

Oh, nice.

Yeah, and my mom's from Minneapolis.

So, um, she guys told me that I'm a hardy Iowan.

A hardy Iowan.

That's a hardy breed.

That's what we called ourselves in North Dakota because

there you

go.

We'd have below zero of 70 below at times.

You'd love that.

I would.

You're crazy.

You're crazy.

You just have to button up.

Yes.

Okay.

Here's my thing.

Okay.

For my car.

Yeah.

You gotta have bubble gum, especially in the wintertime because there's nothing better in life than going outside in the wintertime blowing a bubble and then it freezes hard.

It's my favorite thing.

Huh.

I

guess it would.

Anyway.

Okay, no wait, I got one more thing to say, sorry.

Since it's random Wednesday.

And

we're talking about weather related things.

Okay, I get in my car yesterday and my little tire pressure thing is on.

So I stopped to get air at the closest place because I live in a little town and I'm pulling to get air.

They charge for air.

Who in the house charges for air?

There are a lot of places now that charge for air.

A lot

of people like a

porter.

Do you have to pay a quarter and then you get air for a certain amount of time?

I don't know because I didn't do it.

Anyway, so then I go to their what do you call it?

Competitor.

Yes.

Because their air is free, of course.

Yeah.

And their machines are out of order.

Oh, goodness

sake.

my two choices in that little town.

Well you know what you can do if you find like a jiffy lube you can just say hey can you give me some air they'll let you in they'll give you air and then you drive away.

I will do that.

Oh there

you

go.

So,

you're not just giving me the songs for the playlist, but also your beverage for while you're listening to the playlist during a winter storm.

Oh, boy.

You know, nothing like a little Irish cream.

Oh, I'll drink to that, my friend.

I'll drink to that.

Have a wonderful

Christmas.

Weekday mornings, 5.30 to

10.
