Morning Meltdown: Cruise TuNesDay

Well, how to do thanks for clicking by the way, it's Mike waters with today's waters wakeup call morning meltdown and on the way I've got your head run headlines and the five things you didn't know you needed to hear and you know since it's cruise week this week Friday show and shine over at the Cattle Congress in Waterloo and then on Saturday cruising 4th Street noon to 4 it's gonna be a good week man gonna be a great Memorial Day weekend So I'm just celebrating that all week

Well, I'm actually here through Wednesday, and then I will be at the Mayo.

Yeah, the Mayo in Rochester, Minnesota.

It shouldn't be too bad.

I'm there on a quest to find Miracle Whip.

Does the Mayo have Miracle Whip anywhere?

Thought it'd be a valid quest.

So that's that's what I'll be doing at the mail But I will be back in time for cruising 4th Street on Saturday, and I'll see you out there But since it is cruise week we were all talking about the names.

We've given our cars on lots of great calls Thank you very much, and I'll be and I'll be playing those sporadically throughout the morning meltdown here But you know before we get going into third or fourth gear we'll be rolling nice and

slowly into the bright side right after this.

This Saturday only at the Rattison Seaside Hotel, it's the starving courtroom artist sale.

Yes, even courtroom artists have to eat.

So this Saturday from noon to four, in the gaping starfish room of the Rattison Seaside Hotel, courtroom artists from across the country will sell their sketches.

Defendants standing mute 2988, tearful Apologies 3588, defendants peeing themselves during sentencing 3988.

Yes, this Saturday is your chance to own courtroom art from hundreds of cases that you've probably never heard of, including the estate of Frank Allen Anderson versus Hydratech Duet

yourself swimming pool lights.

Shapiro vs. Mother Greenberg's Kosher Pork products.

That's the starving courtroom artist's sale this Saturday only in the gaping starfish room of the Rattison Seaside Hotel.

Preferred entry is in the rear.

Look at the bright side,

okay?

Let's look on the bright side with Mike Waters on 1057 KOKZ.

I have Emily on the phone.

She is over at Four Oaks.

And is that correct?

Is that the full name, Emily?

Four Oaks?

Yep, we're Four Oaks Family Connection.

And I know you guys are doing such great things over there.

And what I love to do with the bright side, and a lot of times it starts with kind of a darker side that is turned into a bright side by whether it's

People are businesses and just doing good things for the community.

And when you talk about four Oaks, we're talking about kids.

And Emily, I know you take kids with psychological problems, mental health issues, or they've been through something really tough or traumatic.

I can't imagine how overwhelming that would be for the kids and to have a facility like four Oaks.

I mean, thank goodness.

Yeah, there are kids out there in hard situations, but four Oaks and reconnections is there to support that.

4 Oak Family Connections handles all of the licensing, training, matching and ongoing support of foster families throughout Iowa.

So

when kids are having a hard time and they can't live with their birthed families, we come alongside and we support those kids and we support those foster families, equip them and train them to come alongside a birthed family in a really hard and hurting time and provide a safe and stable home for those kids while their parents

are working towards meeting their goals and getting those kids back.

I'll tell you, it takes a special person to do this kind of thing.

And when you're talking about people helping, whether it's the community or just people in the community, to get a foster family that will take in some of these kids who really need some help.

And I know you're needing more families to step up and take care of these kids.

Absolutely.

May is National Foster Care Month, so we have a lot of foster families that are so wonderful that we're just

So thankful for, especially, you know, wanting to bring attention to those families in May.

But the reality is that we need more families.

We do not have enough families in the area.

And we are looking for families that can come alongside a kid and walk alongside them in their, their hurt and their challenges is the fourth time.

And 4 Oaks offers a lot of support, too, will help you find those kids the resources that they need, therapy, support, that sort of thing to help them feel safe and stable and healthy and successful.

And what you guys do over there is so good for the kids and good for the community.

And I'm curious, what are the kids doing while they're waiting for that special family?

Yeah, 4 Oaks and the Department of Health and Human Services does everything they can to make sure that kids

are in a family, thriving in a family, in a family setting.

And so we do a lot to make those transitions as smooth as possible on everyone's end.

But if that's not an option and if those kids can't find a family, sometimes they're sitting in a group home setting or something like that.

And that can be less than ideal at times.

So we really need those families to provide those places for those kids and those teenagers.

And Emily, I'm sure there are a few families listening right now thinking, how can I take in some of these kids?

What do they need to do?

Right.

Thanks for asking.

The first step would be to go to our website, www.iolafosterandadaption.org.

And from there, you can learn all about us.

And I would encourage you to sign up for an orientation.

We have virtual live orientations every Sunday and Wednesday night at 8 p.m.

And it's an overview of the foster care system.

So it gives you all the information that you need to know in order to make a decision and to decide, you know, is this the right thing for me?

Emily, thank you for what you guys are doing for the for the community and our kids.

Well, I think our foster families are the real

heroes.

Well, of course they are.

But if there wasn't somebody coordinating to get the families with the kids.

Take the village, doesn't it?

Absolutely.

Emily from Four Oaks Family Connections, thank you for your.

time and good luck on getting some good families for these kids.

Thank you for having

us.

And a big thanks to Four Oaks and Emily letting us in on the great things they do over there.

Before we get into the hit and run headlines, I think we should take some calls with what you've named your car.

You first.

Rolls Canardley.

Rolls Canardley?

Yeah, rolls down one hill and Canardley make it up the

next.

Rolls Canardley.

That's funny.

Is that really what you call your car?

That's it.

That's awesome.

Thanks for that one.

Yeah, have a good one.

Okay, my car was a 6V2 Chevy Nova.

It was all primered.

I called him Homer.

Take me Homer, Homer.

Chevy Nova named Homer.

Right.

Take me Homer, Homer.

If I had a Nova, I'd call mine Aldo.

Well, that's a good one, too.

Now, now we go into the hit and run headlines.

Let's do it.

Elizabeth's funeral cost $200 million because the reception was open bar and Prince Harry attended, so you do the math.

Bud Lighta unveiled a camouflage bottle.

The idea is that by blending into the woods it will be harder for Kid Rock to shoot it.

Jeff Bezos' new yacht cost half a billion dollars to make.

And no surprise here, it's the Amazon choice in the mega yacht category.

Scientists believe humans first kissed each other on the lips 4,500 years ago.

And also the first time one human said to another as they pointed to their lips, hey, does this look like mouth herpes to you?

I don't know if you knew this, but today is World Goth Day.

Goths everywhere are refusing to celebrate because nothing matters.

Life is meaningless and we all die alone.

Thank God I'm not a Goth.

Today is National Solitaire Day as well.

It's a day that celebrates the card game your mom loves to play with all her friends.

I zinged ya.

I zinged you on that one.

A North Dakota man has been indicted for stealing the red slippers worn by Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz, if convicted.

He could face a sentence to 10 to 20 years, pinned under a house, probably saying, there's no place like home, there's no place.

Anyway, the California cannabis industry is reportedly worried about a big crash very soon.

Apparently they're concerned that A, the market is saturated, B, demand is decreasing, or C, Snoop Dogg is thinking about moving out of the state.

Fast X grossed $67 million over the weekend.

Hopefully this will encourage Hollywood to make a sequel.

Oh, fingers crossed.

Alec Baldwin berated a waitress at a white tie event.

She was so shaken that when she returned to his table, she was wearing a Kevlar vest.

So a writer for vox.com says modern Disney movies don't have decent bad guys anymore.

Unless you count Ron DeSantis.

Paul Simon is suffering partial hearing loss.

He says it's most prominent when Art Garfunkel calls him about a reunion tour.

And finally Kim Kardashian says there are nights when she cries herself to sleep.

But only on nights where her nude Instagram selfies get less than a million likes.

Also here, she cries herself to sleep thinking of all the poor jerks who never became billionaires by accidentally leaking a sex tape.

All right, that's all I've got.

I hope you've never been involved in a hit and run.

On either side, guess what I have?

I have the five things you didn't know you needed to hear, but first, some more calls.

Hello there, you got a name for your car?

Yeah, that's

my

first car when I got high school.

I got my first car was a TV3 Cavalier hatchback, and I called it Sir Lancelot.

for Cavalier.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's pretty good.

Have you named cars since or was it just the first car?

Just the first car.

I really haven't come up with names as I got older.

But

maybe we can now name them.

What do you what do you have?

Now what I own is I own an expedition and I got a I got an older Thunderbird.

But I really haven't thought of any names for them.

Maybe call the Thunderbird.

You should call your Thunderbird Danny Zuko.

Hey.

Sure,

Danny Zuko, the Thunderbird from Greece are one of the Thunderbirds, and maybe the expedition you can call either Lewis or Clark.

See,

you can name cars all your life.

You don't have to do only the first one.

Yeah,

maybe first name Lewis, middle initial N.

Last name, Clark.

There we go.

I love those.

You know, I used to have a white Ford Explorer named Whitey Ford.

We now have a Subaru we call Scooby-Roo.

All right, and with that, I have a specific number of things you may be interested in.

And

now, the waters wake up call with this morning's five things you didn't know you needed to eat.

So without further ado...

Would you trust an AI lawnmower to mow your lawn?

I say no.

There's another robot mower on the way that uses AI technology to mow your lawn.

It can learn anything you want to teach it about boundaries and schedules.

Hey, they should do that with kids.

Naturally, these things aren't cheap though, not that mowers are known for affordability anyway.

But in this recent Kickstarter, they started at about a grand.

And the people who backed the project will get their mowers in August.

So it looks like the campaign is over now, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

But I'm fine.

I'm fine mowing my own lawn.

It's my lawn, darn it.

I'll take care of it.

Second thing, there is a company offering $100 an hour to watch TikTok.

It sounds like an easy

job, although I hate watching TikTok.

There's a marketing company called Ubiquitous.

They're going to pay three people $1,000 each to go on a 10 hour TikTok binge.

So it's basically $100 an hour and you can apply at ubiquitousinfluence.com.

But they're looking for someone who's over 18.

That's me already familiar with TikTok.

Not really.

I guess I'm out but and has an eye for trends.

The deadline to apply if that's something you want to do is May 31st.

It's easy money, I guess, if nothing else.

And by the way, this is the...

Give us this third thing.

The PGA over the weekends, there was a pretty amazing sports story unfolding in the golf world.

It involved a direct hole in one.

and a guy by the name of Michael Block and he is a teaching golf pro in Mission Viejo, California.

So he's only made the cut four times in 24 PGA events.

Yesterday on the 15th hole, he teased off and the ball landed perfectly in the hole for an ace.

Here's when it happened, and the crowd going wild as he walked to retrieve the ball, and you will hear his tearful comments after the match.

He

can dial

this trajectory, right?

He looks very good as he got the distance right.

Oh, are you kidding me?

I appreciate you making me cry.

I'm living a dream.

I'm making sure that I enjoy this moment.

I've learned that after my 46 years of life.

It's not going to get better than this.

There's no way.

No chance in hell.

And cheers to the 29,000 PJ Tour professionals, PJ professionals in the world.

This is for you guys.

Thank you.

Way to go, Michael Block.

That's pretty awesome when a regular guy can just do that.

This

isn't so great.

This is a new Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan horror movies are on the way.

We already knew Winnie the Pooh had done one.

Something about blood and honey.

So they've got another horror movie coming out called Death House.

It's described as a cross between the strangers and the

And the other one, Peter Pan goes to hell.

This is a slasher movie in the vein of Psycho.

No thank you.

And finally,

the mother we've all been waiting for.

And the fifth thing you should know.

So this kid, he just got out of school.

So you see this bus come, pull up, into first grade, and he launches into an epic pro wrestling inspired rant.

No, it's over.

He knows how to end first grade.

I know how to end the five things with the first grader who knows how to end first grade.

And I think that's five things.

Five things.

You didn't know you

needed to hear.

After that's a lot of things.

I'm pooped after that.

I think I do have enough energy for a few more calls, but I think I need a break first.

Teachers, parents, and of course, students of Little Love Bugs Daycare.

Today is a day that some of you won't soon forget.

And a day that most of you won't remember at all because you're only five.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

Kindergarten is going to be hard.

It's a world of raising your hand before you speak.

No more nap time, even if you're cranky.

After two years of daycare, you've learned how to not pee yourself.

Very often, how to pick your nose and wipe it on something instead of eating it.

And of course, you've learned which of your teachers is the best wiper.

Little Love Bugs Daycare graduates, it's time to move on.

Good luck in kindergarten, Love Bugs.

And don't forget your accident pants.

Oh, and the phone's just keep on ringing.

Let's go to this one here.

Hello, what's the name of your car?

Yep,

Black Betty.

Bama Lamb.

Oh, Black Betty, Bama Lamb.

All right, thank you for that, Holland Ram Jam.

And funny you say that, you know, we had a Black Dodge.

We called this Dodge Black Betty.

And whenever it got into an accident, it would literally say Bama Lamb.

All right, that second part's not true, but we did have a black dodge called Black Betty.

Well, I

hope the heck I don't do a bam-a-lam in my Black Betty.

So your car's Black Betty.

What's the name of your truck?

I call it the White Beast.

So Black Betty and the White Beast.

You've got a real black and white look at life there, uh, they're hauling oats.

That's right.

The car is black.

The truck is white.

We drive by day and truck at night.

Yeah, that's my first car when I got out of high school.

I got my first car was a TV3 Cavalier hatchback and I called it Sir Lancelot.

For Cavalier?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

Have you named cars since or was it just the first car?

Just the first car.

I really haven't come up with names as I got older.

But

maybe we can now name them.

What do you have?

Now what I own is I own an expedition and I got an older Thunderbird.

But I really haven't thought of any names for them.

Maybe call the Thunderbird.

You should call your Thunderbird Danny Zuko.

Hey, that's a good game.

Sure.

Danny Zuko, the Thunderbird from Greece, or one of the Thunderbirds.

And maybe the expedition you could call either Lewis or Clark.

Hey, that's pretty.

That's

a pretty good idea.

See, you can name cars all your life.

You don't have to do only the first one.

Yeah,

maybe first name Lewis, middle initial N, last name Clark.

There we go.

I like that.

I'm glad we found something for your cars.

All right.

Is that the color?

Okay, good.

I'm glad it wasn't yellow.

That'd just be

silly.

Yeah, so what kind of a car do

you have?

It

seems like it should have more than just

Blue to the name.

It sounds like it deserves some kind of a king blue or a... So you don't have that car anymore, I take it.

Yeah, just sell it back when you needed the money or... Yeah, that's why people get rid of cars.

It's too bad though, you know.

Did you get a good price for it at least?

So you weren't too blue about selling

it.

little bit

a little bit you gotta be blue about selling blue especially when it's that car yeah cruise baby cruise all right thanks for calling

all right I had a white van a white astro van that named her been a white

That's great.

A white van named Vanna White.

Did you paint a big Wheel of Fortune wheel on the side?

No, it was just my little secret of what my van was

called.

I was just kidding.

That would look dumb.

Yes, it would.

Maybe you could have had, like, hubcaps that looked like the Wheel of Fortune.

Okay, no, no.

Now we're going back to that dumb thing.

Yeah, I know.

That's usually where I end up, so... That's okay.

That's why we love you.

Thanks for that, man.

I appreciate it.

All right.

Good

morning, Mr.

Waters.

Good morning.

Good morning.

This is Cowboy Jerry.

It's good to hear from you, man.

Getting ready for the big cruise.

Should be a good time.

What are you

bringing?

I'm bringing my 76th Grand Torino Elite.

Oh, that's

awesome.

You know, you should call it maybe Clint.

There you go.

Yeah.

I'm sure you've seen the movie.

Oh, of course.

It's a great movie, isn't it?

It is.

And a great car.

No kidding.

We will stop and see you.

I can't wait.

Thanks for calling.

Appreciate it.

Catch you later.

Car was named Petunia.

Why Petunia?

Well, I saw a funny video and the person's shirt was like purple and then

My car was kind of a purple color and it reminded me of that

Yeah, you don't hear names like Petunia anymore.

I I think of and I think it was porky pigs girlfriend named Petunia pig Yeah, that's that's what I think of what I think of Petunia.

That's great Thanks for keeping the name Petunia alive.

God bless you.

God bless you too.

Thank you very much.

Have a great day

And

there it is my friends Monday's morning meltdown

cruise week day one oh tomorrow's gonna be good cruise tunes day be thinking of tunes to add to our perfect cruise tunes playlist thanks for calling thanks for clicking downloading and listening waters out

every

Monday through Friday 5 30 to 10 right

here

Well hey there, it's Mike Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.

Thank you for tuning in to the Waters Wake Up Call Morning Meltdown and with the...

Four Street Cruise coming up this Saturday.

I thought it being a toons day and all we should talk about cruise tunes You know the tunes that just sound so good when you're just kind of cruising in your car You got to have the right soundtrack, right?

I mean think think of American graffiti.

Where would that movie be without that soundtrack?

It would be that was like another character probably the best character of Of the movie not that it didn't have great characters, but God that music where would it have been?

So that's where we went with our tunes day topic and I'll get into some calls of course you had great suggestions on the cruise tunes But above and beyond that of course we did the hit-and-run headlines the five things you didn't know you needed to hear and as always kicked it off

with Sponsored

by Wong collision center

So what's brighter than kids and puppies?

Let me think.

Nothing, of course.

So you have these students at Polk Middle School.

This is in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

And they've joined forces with the Bernalillo County Animal Care Center.

and they're helping long-term shelter dogs find loving homes.

So this collaboration started last fall when the animal shelter shared photographs and stories of these hard-to-place pets with arts and writing students at Pohl.

So then you have a few classes who are participating in this.

First you have Ms.

McCready's art students.

They painted portraits of the dogs while writing students in Ms.

Ariyaga's class.

They wrote some first person

peels on behalf of the dogs and then each kennel then displayed these very creative and pretty touching works I gotta be honest with you making them accessible to all shelter visitors.

Then this spring Mr. Beverly's seventh grade gifted class took the project a step further by creating resumes for the dogs.

highlighting their individual skills and tricks, and the objective was to showcase traits that would make each dog a perfect addition to a family.

So the resumes seemed to really help because by May 17th, just about a week ago, six of these dogs have found their forever homes.

Animal Protection New Mexico Education Director Sherry Mangold praised the students saying, these successful adoptions were due to the students' empathy and concern for

or shelter dogs.

Way to go kids.

You've got these kids and a very cool learning exercise.

And then you've got the reality of these dogs trying to find a home and they're they're pairing up beautifully.

Oh, what a bright side that is for an early tunes day morning sponsored by Wong Collision Center on Highway 151 in Fairfax.

Wong Collision Center where quality is their priority.

Kids and dogs, you can't go wrong.

Hey, you know what?

Before we get into our hit and run headlines, let's let's take a call.

because we're talking cruise tunes today for our Tunes Day topic.

From the land of sky blue water.

Water!

That was beautiful.

Thank you, Evan, for practicing.

So early in the morning, that was just freaking awesome.

Well, thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

So what's up, man?

What's

happening?

I wanted to share a little bit of my childhood with you, which would be my teenage years, which was called

Running 1st Avenue in Cedar Rapids, Iowa through the 68, 69 and 70s and all the muscle cars were there.

It was just absolutely amazing.

Before

they were

classics.

It was incredible.

I mean, we had a club of cars that just go down there every Friday and Saturday night.

It was just incredible.

And one of our things that lots of guys did because we only didn't have FM back then, we were allowed and by a track page.

Sure.

And one of the big ATRAC tapes back then for cruising was Iron Butterfly, and then it got a DeVita.

Oh boy, the whole thing, the long version?

You betcha, because you could start at the 1st Avenue Bridge, Cedar River Bridge, and take it all the way across town, clear out there to...

Oh, we turn around out there at Lindell Mall.

It'd take you about 16 minutes to go from one end to the other, and man, let me tell you, you would put that thing on as loud as you could go and just cruise that avenue.

It was freaking

awesome.

Wow.

Now, see, that's paradise right there.

That's truly like being in the Garden of Eden as you're listening to Inagata Vita.

Oh, man, it was too.

Ah,

buddy.

Boy.

Yeah, that

would have been nice to see all those muscle cars when they were still new.

Sure.

Well, that's, that's great.

Are you going to be at the cruise this weekend?

No, I wish I could be, but I wanted to share that little bit of information with you because it was just so much fun back in the day.

Oh, I'll bet it was.

Well, you know, I don't have the long version, but I will play, I'll play the single version of Inagata DeVita.

Oh, absolutely.

Yeah.

I just had to share that with you because there are so many good crews and tunes out there, but that was the one that

A lot of us guys ran that avenue

way.

Yeah, yeah, I'll bet, I'll bet, absolutely.

Well that is cool, man.

That is, that is truly cool.

Thanks for sharing that.

Hey, you have a great day and rock on.

Rock on, Cruton.

Thanks for calling.

You bet, bye.

Bye-bye.

And thank you for that groove and tuneless suggestion.

Alright, let's, let's hit right into this.

Targets!

Recalling five million candles for being a fire hazard.

So here's my question.

I mean, isn't that the case with all candles?

I mean, they're all on fire.

Jeff Bezos is reportedly engaged to his girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez.

Yeah, added to his carts, or cart carts, if you will.

Yeah, that's right.

She did click agree.

and she'll be receiving her engagement ring in three to five business days.

This is crazy.

A Dollar General employee chased down a thief and rammed him with her car.

Not sure it was worth it.

She spent more in gas than the total cost of the stuff she recovered.

It's dollar store stuff.

Risk your life and ram them with your car over dollar store stuff.

Maybe if she worked at, I don't know, one of those hoity-toity places that I can't think of, because I don't shop at hoity-toity places.

I'm a poor DJ.

I don't shop at hoity-toity places.

All right, moving right along, In-N-Out Burger is celebrating its 75th year in business.

Even more amazing, Arby's is still in business.

I know.

A newly opened Philadelphia restaurant is selling a $700 hamburger.

It includes Wagyu beef, caviar, and gold leaf.

Though, if you want cheese, it's an extra 50 cents.

More Americans are testing positive for marijuana at work.

Though so far, research has only been conducted on Willie Nelson's entourage.

Anton Mesmer was born on this day.

He spent years studying and perfecting how to hypnotize people.

Then, in 1982, Phoebe Cates came along and proved she could do it just by unhooking the top of her bikini to the tune of Moving in Stereo.

Mesmerizing.

Police arrested a man wearing Owen Wilson's pajamas.

Why the police were wearing Owen Wilson's pajamas?

I'll never know.

Thank you, Groucho.

That's all I got.

Alright, I don't want to hear any of that this Saturday when we're cruising 4th Street, okay?

Deal?

Deal.

We're gonna do the five things you didn't know.

We're gonna do the five things you didn't know you needed to hear, but I think we should take a couple more calls and talk some cruise tunes.

Smoking by boss.

Smoking down to highway or 4th Street.

I don't know if I'd go quite that fast down 4th Street,

but... When

you're cruising, it's gotta be a little slow.

Unless of course it's your tires.

You know, you don't want to do the burnout thing with your car.

Well, you do, but you gotta restrain yourself.

When you were young and stupid, sure, but now you're thinking, oh god, I'm gonna need tires now before I would have had to.

Now I'm gonna pay for the tires.

Ah, it's tough to be old and smart, I

guess.

I'd much

prefer young and dumb

any day of

the week.

There's a few things from young and dumb that I like to avoid.

It's not perfect either way, but sometimes when you're thinking about the stuff you did when you were young and dumb, you didn't have any worries while you were doing it, it's like, eh, what could happen?

Thank God, you know, sometimes something did and that's where you, I guess the lessons come in and you start to smarten up a little bit and things get less fun.

At least you hope you're smart enough.

Well, I think we all had at least one friend that didn't quite grow up right.

There you go, I mean.

Killer crews and tunes, man.

I'm telling you, you have the best taste in music.

Have I told you that lately?

And we'll take a few more calls right after we do our five things you didn't, well, you know

the deal.

yes the first of five I guess you would say let's start with a riddle what do you think how does a mother give birth to two babies at the same time when the babies aren't twins the answer is something called you know I'm gonna I'm gonna need to get a pronunciation guide on this so let's

Superfitation.

Superfitation.

Okay.

Superfitation.

Sophie Small is her name and she seems to have gotten pregnant with two daughters four weeks apart and Small was hospitalized eight times in seven weeks due to this havoc.

Superfitation wreaked on her body.

She says, and I'm quoting, I was carrying two babies who were growing at different stages, but we didn't know that.

So according to the Cleveland Clinic, superfitation is so rare in humans that there are only about 10 confirmed cases ever.

And they added the chance that you'll be affected by superfitation is close to zero.

Oh, I wonder how poor Sophie feels about that.

That's something to think about.

Second thing.

Yes, let's go on to number two here.

The city of Kyle, Texas has invited people named anyone, of course, Kyle, to meet in the same park on the same day in order to set a record for the largest same name gathering.

Well, regardless of whether they break the record or not, they will prove one thing that there is not a lot to do in Kyle, Texas.

Give us this

thing.

Did you know that they are closing the Star Wars hotel in Disney World?

Where will I stay now when I go to Disney?

I just don't even know.

I think we need to commemorate this with a

song.

Star Wars Hotel No more rooms that look like you're on the planet Tatooine And your bellboy will no longer be Chewbacca

That's

a

sad, sad, sad day, isn't it?

Fourthly, Fourth Effect Have you heard that you need to replace your underwear every six months or a year?

If you hear that or see anything about it, ignore it.

According to several doctors, you never need to replace them.

But as long as you wash your underwear in warm or hot water, you're killing the bacteria and keeping them safe.

Mrs. Waters also says that when they're down to a waistband with shreds that make it look fringed, it's new pair time.

Fine, whatever you want to do, Mrs. Waters, whatever you want to do, she's the boss, you

know.

So

when you're biking, like cycling, whether it's in the city, you have to be careful.

And you know, when you're in more of a wooded area on a path or something, you need to be extra careful, especially if you're in Canada.

Some people say Canada.

The cyclist ended up hurt after hitting a bear.

with his bike actually T-boned the bear.

This is Kevin Milner.

He ended up with a broken shoulder blade and road rash from this collision, but here he is on

what he experienced.

I always thought, like, you know, maybe one day I'd hit a deer, right?

Never thought it'd be a bear.

He starts running across the road, and I just smacked right into him, and then went flying right over top of him.

He's kind of looking over at us.

He's sniffing out the air.

He's just kind of curious.

And then Sam started yelling at the bear, just trying to scare him off.

Yeah,

so there's a bear.

Maybe I would think maybe it'd be a little friendlier, because it was from Kanata, but I don't know.

But you know, I do want to do one bonus thing.

One bonus thing for the five things.

I've got a beatboxing bird here.

This is a cockatiel beatboxing.

And I have to play this on our way out of here.

Hey!

Isn't that awesome?

And now I think that's five things.

That's five things.

I counted five, you counted five.

OK, that'll do it.

All right, before we wrap this up, let's take some more calls on our Toonsday topic, Cruise Toons.

Go.

Good morning, Mr. Waters.

Cowboy Jerry here again.

Cowboy.

Jerry two days in a row.

Why why?

What have I done to deserve this double shot of your grace?

Well, I don't know maybe maybe you're just doing the right thing

Maybe I think it is.

I think it's karma.

That's what I think cowboy Jerry

You know, I heard your guy talking earlier about cruising first Avenue.

Yeah,

that's what we did back in 75 76 77

sounds cool

coolest cars best music we always listen to doobies Chicago

Yeah, how about a little bit of Mustang Sally?

I'm planning on, if everything goes right, be up there for the show and shine with my 65 Mustang.

Oh, that is super cool.

So what could go wrong?

You said if everything works out right, what could go wrong?

And I'm planning on being in on Thursday, but planning on bringing it up there, it's an original 65.

It's not restored.

Oh, really?

So it's got original everything?

Yeah, it came out of California in 2017, and the only thing that was changed was the intake manifold and the air breather to get rid of the California mission.

Oh, I bet that's a beauty.

It's honey gold with a white interior, and the interior is still white.

That's impressive.

It has factory air, a factory AMFM radio, all kinds of things that were very rare.

in a Mustang in 65.

Wow.

That's very cool.

I would love to see that.

So I hope everything does work out for you, and you're able to get it there.

Yep, I'm playing

them on it.

Interesting story on University Avenue.

I was racing a Grand Trino that looked like Starsky and Hutch Carr.

Nice.

And both of us got up to 110.

And when was this?

Last

night?

This was like in the early 80s.

I would never try it again because it was so dangerous.

I had a buddy in the car and he would tell me when I could get over and I was just trying to keep the team between the lines because that guy was right beside me and I was afraid I was gonna swipe him or take myself out one of the other.

Oh

man yeah yeah I wouldn't try that again either I mean one thing is we've grown up and we're smarter than that

now.

Oh,

that's a good one.

And Penny's got a lot of good driving tunes.

Oh my God.

Yes, he did.

Yes, indeed.

He sure does.

Oh, yeah.

I'm doing the Mayo thing Thursday, Friday, and then I'm going to the cruise on Saturday.

Thanks.

Oh,

it really is.

Let me let me ask you this.

Did you ever find Miracle Whip at the

Mayo?

I think not.

Did you look for it?

No, I didn't.

Well, I'll let you know.

Yeah, I'm sure you will.

OK, because I'm impressed anyway.

But if they've got Miracle Whip at the Mayo, my mind will be

blown.

There you go.

That's right.

That's right.

Hey, Mike, how's it going?

Good, Dave.

How are you?

Pretty good.

Hey, I want to wish you good luck on your

Mayo trip there.

My quest to find Miracle

Whip?

Yeah.

It's quite a gift to go to get that, but I think I could find it closer for you.

Well,

I know, but the thing is, it's called the Mayo.

So do they just have mayonnaise or do they also have miracle lip?

See, that's the thing.

Is there miracle lip at the Mayo?

Yeah, so you're going to find out.

I know I could get Mayo closer, but the irony, you see, the irony of finding it at the

Mayo.

I'm

always thinking with a very low IQ that's that's what makes it really interesting

All right, and there it is, day two of cruise week and cruise tunes tomorrow.

Wandom Wednesday, we will talk about the ultimate cruise and vehicle in your opinion.

So think about that, and with it being Wandom Wednesday, we'll do all kinds of Wandom subtopics as well.

My name is Mike Waters, and well, I guess that's it.
