WANDOM WEDNESDAY FLOYD 50TH

The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Wed Mar 1, 2023

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?

Water's

here from the Water's Wake Up call had a blast celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon this morning.

Wow.

and then played it.

That was pretty good.

Wow, dark side of the moon out of a Vega.

That is so 70s.

So I'll bet these speakers were about as big as the Vega, right?

Yes, they were big and he had long tables on him, you know, because there were keggers and stuff back in those days.

So was it an 8-track or was it an album?

Because I know some cars had turntables back then.

I'm not quite sure how they worked, but

my brother watched that 8-track in the quad and he had the album in the quad and he had four

And

quad quadrophonic sound like a four-speaker surround just in case you're not familiar with that kind of quad like why you bought it in the quad cities Pink Floyd I think was they were kind of the the groundbreakers and quadrophonic

sound

Yeah, that had to be great, too.

I've never heard Pink Floyd in Quadrophonic.

I've heard it in 5.1, which is still pretty sweet, but

Fortunately for me, I got to see him twice.

I saw them May 18th 1988 in the unidol.

Yeah,

and then I saw him in 1994 at Cyclone Stadium and I was in the front for both of them and it was

It was really good.

I have no idea why I didn't go, but I'm a little jealous.

I'm a lot jealous.

I'm extremely jealous.

You want to hear a neat story in 1988?

I messed around, didn't buy tickets, and it came to the day.

And I'm like, I can't believe I'm not going.

And my wife says, well, you should go.

Yeah.

I'm

like, really?

I drove over there.

I went up to the ticket counter in this older gal.

I mean, really, I go, I'd like one ticket front row center stage, please.

And she pushes out a ticket and says, that'll be $23.

I go, are you kidding me?

Yeah,

it

was right to the front.

Wow.

You know, I know that they open seats up like the day of the show.

Maybe fan club members who aren't going or whomever.

But a lot of times, they'll open those up.

And that's a really good time to buy tickets.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've been fortunate and done that a few times.

Boy, front row for Pink Floyd.

You know I was extremely jealous before.

It's turned into pure hate.

Pure hatred for you.

Well, I was fortunate I took my daughter in 94 and we were in row for her, which was almost the front end.

She couldn't understand, you know, she was at the age to understand the people that were bowing down.

Yeah.

That's funny.

Oh, that's awesome.

That's an awesome story.

It really is both of those.

Well, I really appreciate you highlighting this.

It's kind of a big deal.

It really is for anybody who's listened to this.

And I mean, God, who hasn't heard Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon?

It was on the charts for 750 weeks and one of the biggest selling albums of all time.

So I would have to think that most people on the planet have heard Dark Side of the Moon.

Yeah.

It's pretty interesting.

Yep, it really is.

It really is.

Well, thanks for calling, man.

Thanks for talking, Floyd.

That was awesome.

You're welcome.

Thank

you for the visit.

Hey, good morning, Mr. Waters.

How are you?

I'm good.

How are you doing this morning, my friend?

I'm good.

This is Pac-Man you got on the line.

Hey, Pac-Man, been a

while.

How are you?

It has been a while.

I'm

doing good.

Excellent, excellent, excellent.

I got a random question for you.

Wyndham, go ahead.

Where has the ambition gone after you turned 45?

Boy,

boy, that's a deep question, man.

I mean, I still I'm 56 and I still have ambition to be as good as I can be doing what I'm doing.

And maybe that's just because I love what I'm doing.

But I think it depends.

It depends on who you are.

It depends on what you're interested in.

It depends on a lot of things.

You

know, you gotta find

if you if you can find something to do that you love, then the ambition is just built in.

But if you're doing something that you just

You can't stand anymore, and I don't know.

Probably goes pretty quickly.

That ambition.

You got me

pegged.

Well, see, and my dad always says, oh, you're not going to make a whole lot of money doing radio.

It's like, well, at least I'll do what I love, and I'll love to go to work every day.

And that's the main thing.

That's how I feel about it, Pac-Man.

There's my Ted Talk on ambition, this five-board egg.

All right, Mr. Waters, good to talk to you.

Guy blue

water.

What are you doing, man?

How is your Wandom going?

My Wandom Wednesday.

Yes.

I'm thinking, I really am thinking hard about this and I'm thinking the eyes.

Oh, March.

I'm your vehicle, baby.

Yeah, I'm your vehicle, baby.

Yeah, baby.

I'll take you anywhere you want to go, and when I say anywhere, I'm talking anywhere.

I know.

Yeah, that's what you want to hear, huh?

What do you want to hear?

Eyes of March, because it's March 1st?

Exactly.

You know,

it's sort of like the 1st of September.

Yeah.

But instead of that body-ass stuff or whatever that Earthman and Fire sings, we're more like Transformers, because we turn into a vehicle.

Absolutely.

Hey, oh, by the way, too.

Yes.

It's your birthday month too,

isn't it?

Hey, yes, thanks.

Thanks for knowing that.

Hey, I have to.

You're the greatest.

Well, thanks, man.

And you know, today is the 50th anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon.

I heard you say that.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

And I did not know that, but thanks for sharing that with everybody.

Like I said, you are the professor.

It's one of the

few things I know, like I've said before.

So I might as well just yap about it all day.

Well, like I said, with you, you schooler.

Good morning, Mr. Waters.

How are you today?

I am good, Hawaiian.

How are you?

Besides being a little cold, not bad.

Yeah.

Well, a little cold.

It's going to be 53 today, something like that.

So it's going to be a fairly

decent day.

Beach weather.

Beach weather.

OK.

Eastern Iowa beach weather.

OK.

Yeah.

Will you write me a doctor's note so I can get out of work and I'll go out and send myself?

Well, I'm not qualified to write a doctor's note, not a DR note, a DJ note I could do, I could do that for you.

And especially because it's a hooky factor of ten day, and that note will work in participating businesses.

Okay, that works for me.

Hey, can you play me something uplifting and, I don't know,

sunny?

Uplifting

and sunny?

Something that'll cataract the gloomy atmosphere.

Something that'll help your cataracts?

The gloomy atmosphere.

But yeah, my cataracts...

Oh, yeah.

Oh, you said counteract, didn't you?

Counteract.

Yes, I did.

Oh, jeez.

Boy, do I feel dumb.

Goodness

God.

You're not dumb.

Yeah.

You're just a little special.

That's

all.

Yes, I am.

I'm a lot special.

That's what my mom says.

My mom says I'm a lot special.

All right.

Well, anyway, when I am going to get on something that's sunny, uplifting, that will cataract your current state of mind.

Whatever.

Mornings, 530 to

10.
