Mike Waters here from the Waters Makeup Call.
This morning we were talking about lost skills.
This is Bumblebee.
We just buzzing down the road.
So where are you currently buzzing there, Bumblebee?
Up here in Clear Lake.
Now are you from Clear Lake?
I don't think you are.
I am from a big state of Kentucky.
Now tell me the truth.
Is it really blue grass there?
Is that what you got?
It's as blue as my eyes.
And what color are your eyes?
Black.
Did you get punched?
Did you get in a fight?
Oh, it's my ability.
Right.
So, Ken and Tucky, what can I do for you?
It's all these youngins now.
They can't even read my right.
It's cursive.
Ah, cursive.
And I'll bet the kids think that it's called cursive because they're screaming profanities at their frustration of not being able to read it.
Absolutely.
My teacher in elementary school even knew calligraphy.
That's how skillful she was.
I
feel for that woman.
I know.
Well, you keep feeling for her.
I don't think she's a
around anymore.
Well, I'll tell you what, if I move it up with her, I'll give her your best.
Yeah, you knew that.
You say water says hi ho, honey.
Thank
you.
I took typing class in high school.
Oh, did you now?
Are you still a good typewriter?
Do you have a typewriter?
I used to.
My late husband had one.
My mom had, my dad had an IBM electric with a ball and everything.
IBM every morning.
What?
Nothing.
Oh, um, yeah, I was going to talk about penguins, but I guess you don't want to.
From from typing to pay what?
Well cuz I watch this really funny show called Mr. Poppers penguins and it's just hilarious.
They're not very nice nice birds.
What now?
He gets some in the mail from us.
He gets penguins in the mail.
Yeah, his dad was like a explore something like this.
He was always
gone and never got to his game.
Well,
you know, I mean penguins it is random Wednesday.
That was totally not what I was talking about But you called randomly and said randomly penguins so I guess that
works
Well,
how does he get snow in his high-rise apartment building?
I had an Antarctica married
to my uncle John.
She was very cold.
She was a very cold person.
No.
Nope.
So do you have a stick shift?
My dad taught me how to drive on a semi at 15, but that's it.
That's young to be driving a semi.
How'd you do?
Good.
I'm 16 and still driving it.
Alright, so it was just last year?
Yeah.
Well, I'll bet as a 16 year old there are a lot of things we used to do that you probably don't know how to do.
Have you ever dialed a rotary phone?
I have.
My neighbors are 90 and still have one.
Well, I guess if you have 90 year old neighbors, well, of course you're gonna do that.
I'm sure they've got one of those little black and white
White televisions, too, with the antenna coming up.
I don't even think they have a TV.
They don't have a TV?
No.
Maybe just a radio, and they're still waiting for Jack Benny to come on.
You probably don't even know what that means, do you?
I don't.
Oh, that's funny.
That's even before my time, so I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, but at least you're listening to the good stuff.
It's good to have a 16-year-old listening to stuff from the 70s and 80s, so I appreciate that.
No problem.
Good morning, Mike.
Well, good morning.
How are you?
I
am peachy keen.
Peachy keen.
That is my favorite flavor of ice cream.
Mmm, that's peaches and cream.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
I think peachy keen is a form of peaches and cream.
Okay, so this is Cecilia, by the way.
Cecilia, yes, how are you?
It's been a
while.
Yes.
Okay, so Roscoe would be kneading bread.
Oh, yeah, kneading bread.
You know, fewer and fewer are kneading bread, cutting it out of our diet, you know.
No, I mean kneading K-N.
Well, you're a hoot, aren't
you?
I am a hoot.
I give a hoot, don't belute.
Just like Woods Owl.
Kneading bread.
Kneading bread.
Because that's what it has there, machine that does that for them.
Right, kneading of the dough.
And why would you knead the
dough?
It's better when you make it with love by hand.
That is absolutely true.
The best bread comes from love.
All right.
Well, play my song if you would,
though.
Now, you responded to that like I was saying something questionable.
Oh, no.
Nothing questionable here.
It's all good.
OK.
OK.
Because I wasn't talking about the crust.
Just the bread.
Yes.
All right, Cecilia.
I will play your song.
Oh, Sherry by Steve Perry, right?
Breaking
my heart, Cecilia.
I know.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I'm just, I'm being too weird for some people today.
I am counting on something here from you.
I'll tell you what, I know I didn't really prove myself in this particular phone call, but I will prove myself to you, Cecilia, before I leave.
Really fine, sir.
