Who used all the Wi-Fi?
Ah, apartment life.
Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.
Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.
Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station apartments.
Furnished, in-unit washer and dryer.
Internet included.
A great central downtown location.
One to five bedroom apartments.
And no double occupancy fees.
That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.
Union Station apartments.
Now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.
Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?
Hey,
it's Mike Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.
This morning, we were either talking about Throwback Thursday and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, or that nasty weather we're
getting.
Yeah,
with the Barbie logo, yes.
Good job, my friend.
I know.
A lot of people are surprised that Barbie had a monster truck.
I'd grab that around town today and be proud of it.
I am.
Well, why wouldn't I be?
I thought you were just doing it so you could get through the snow.
That's, of course, a reason.
But, you know, I'm always looking for a really good reason to be driving that thing.
You know, I got it last Christmas and I have not been able to drive it for...
a few months.
I don't like to bring that out in the summer.
I mean, it takes a lot of gas and that
kind of thing.
The sandwich they did and the bird poop would make it different.
Yeah,
I
understand.
Thanks.
I appreciate that.
Good morning, Mike.
How
are you?
I am good, Carrie from Dicert.
How are you?
Are you home safe, warm, fire going, cocoa brewing, or are you off to work today?
I had to walk down the steps to my basement to my office, so I'm already at work.
Oh, well,
that's pretty nice.
You don't have to drive no place.
Yes,
it is.
Yes, it is.
No
kidding, you lucky son of a... There's no way I can do this at home.
There's no way.
Don't you wish there was?
I could sit in my living room and I'd just watch some TV.
I'd listen to tunes and every once in a while I'd pop on and talk a little BS, you know, just like a regular day.
Yeah, wouldn't that be awesome?
It would be.
I'd be working even less than I do now.
I know, and getting paid just the same amount.
That's cool as
that.
Yeah, all that and my ginormous paycheck.
Check to boot.
I
don't know.
It's not about me though.
It's about my dad.
Okay.
He was just like the kid in Christmas story.
He wanted that BB gun with the compass in the stock.
He did not get it.
My grandfather refused to buy him a BB gun and he threw a big fit.
When he was 65, they found one and bought it
for him.
What a good sign.
And when he opened it, the man had tears in his
eyes.
Wow, so was it a new BB gun or the one
he wanted as a kid.
That's awesome.
Yeah, the official Red
Rider BB gun.
I can't remember all of it,
but
yeah.
Mr. Waters, DJ extraordinaire.
Woodrow, Woody Woodwooders, how are ya?
I'm fantastic.
I managed to get out last night before the storm set in.
Perfect, what'd you do?
Oh, I went down to pub 217 and had a couple beers with friends.
Nice.
And handed out a few Christmas, last minute Christmas cards.
Oh, nice.
Yes, it's throwback Thursday.
I will give you the greatest Christmas gift you could ever have as a kid, especially a boy.
What?
Flexible flyer sled.
We ruled Jones Sledding Hill over on the southwest side with it.
Oh, did
you?
Jones Sledding Hill,
huh?
Yes, I mean it was fantastic.
It was fast.
We would have dog fights, a dog fight consistent of you trying to knock your buddies off their flexible pliers.
Sure.
Yeah, that makes sense.
That totally makes sense.
And it was fun.
Well, a few hands got ran over, but growing up you
You're entitled to a little pain.
You're gonna be injured.
If you're gonna have fun, you're gonna be injured.
I think every kid had one of those big sledding hills.
We had, it was called Theodore Worth Hill.
It was giant.
And we had those, and those flat toboggan's as well.
Those things were real dangerous.
Those things slid like crazy.
We had one of those two and my buddy who was the basketball center in junior high.
He said, I can't drive yours, but I'll ride on the back.
I go, Ed, it's kind of icy.
I don't know how, you know, I'll control it with you on it.
Oh, we'll be fine.
We ran into a tree, but we still got about 20 more years use out of it.
We used to do stand-up tobogganing when we got older.
Oh, you daredevils, you.
Yeah, it was great.
I'll tell you, sledding is one of the one of the best parts of a kid's life.
And then after that, it's all downhill from there.
And of course, thanks for the memories
as what you would say.
Have a great shift, Mr. Waters.
Got off the phone with my son.
He is heading towards Des Moines with a semi-load of hog.
People stay off the road.
Absolutely.
So watch out for the truckers, the plows, and the only other people that should be working are DJs, healthcare workers, essential city workers, male folks, and pizza delivery people.
Ooh.
Yeah,
that sounds good
right now, doesn't it?
But nobody wants to deliver out where I live.
Yeah, you kind of live out in the country, don't you?
Yeah, a little
bit.
I'm surprised you don't talk more like this, working with the horses out in the country there.
Well, I reckon I could start talking like that.
Say, good morning, Mike.
Little Dacer twang.
Invent some Dacer twang.
You and your Ken folk.
Talk to your
son and your
hood man and have
them talk
a little bit like this.
Sound like we got a mouthful of chaw going on
there.
Ding dong, ding dong here from
Dysart.
Well, I suppose I better get chuglin' here.
You have a good day and stay safe now, you hear?
That sounds awesome and when you're driving home, please be
safe too.
Weekday mornings, 5.30 to
10.
all the Wi-Fi!

Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.
