Morning Meltdown: Throwback Thursday

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?

apartment?

Hey, it's Mike waters here from the waters wake up call Thank you for tuning in to the morning meltdown November 2nd 2023 throwback Thursday You know we spent this morning talking about John candy on October 31st just a couple of days ago He would have been 73 and I just think it's perfect that John candy was born on Halloween Halloween and candy It just doesn't get any better than that.

So we just spent this morning talking about the brilliance of John candy

The comedic genius.

Good morning, sir.

Well, good morning.

Hey, don't call me, sir.

I'm a sergeant.

I work for a living.

Okay, sergeant.

There you go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

Talking about John Candy, I guess one of my favorite movies of his was a plane strained in automobiles.

The scene where those aren't pillows.

Yeah, it all starts off a very romantic spooning scene, and it just goes off the rails to the kissing and the pillows and then changing the subject quickly to a

a very manly thing in football.

He

was in the first

home alone once.

Yeah, he was.

Because he was the polka king.

Yeah, on the

plane, Catherine

right here, the mom was.

So

there

he was, the

polka king helping out mom.

They were sitting in the back talking to her, and he was just all worried about her son.

Yeah.

And he was just telling her, he left a kid behind somewhere.

They didn't find her.

And that didn't tell any better.

No, of course

not.

Yeah, that was

just a great movie.

I mean John Candy and Steve Martin, they were both great and played off each other great and he was so annoying but lovable and Steve Martin just wanted to get home.

But that was a great movie and that is a great scene.

I'm gonna I'm gonna find that

and that's probably the only thing I can think of any time I think of John Candy I think of that scene pops my first one pops my head and of course Uncle Buck but right It's just that scene never see not go wrong with

that Well good morning

to you

What

can I do for you today?

Well you're talking about John candy and there's no way you cannot talk about Uncle Brock.

No, there's no way I can't that's exactly right.

What was your

favorite scene?

When he's in the principal's office Yeah,

that's a great that's my favorite scene too.

I think it's I think it it's one of those where that is the classic scene of that movie period

And

as we were talking about John Candy this morning I got to talking about TV because I remember when the old SC TVs the the ones that

originated in Canada were on PBS and they're on PBS like at midnight and that got me thinking about the great TV lineup on Saturday nights on especially CBS.

It was all in the family and then Mash, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart and then Carol Burnett show and then 10 o'clock I would turn to PBS, watch Monty Python and then to NBC watching Saturday Night Live and then back to PBS for

So that led to some other TV talk, like Midnight Special, loved Midnight

Special.

about 70s television.

Yeah.

Two great shows for late nights.

Don Kirchner's Rock Show and Midnight Special.

I remember the kids staying up Midnight Special.

And I thought what was so brilliant about Midnight Special is it went from R&B to rock and roll, silly Dan.

You had comedians on there.

Things like that we in the Midwest would never get or see or have any exposure to.

It's like, wow.

Yeah.

Yeah,

I

remember.

Go ahead.

I remember thinking

You know, geez, I'll never see Bill Cosby or, um, oh, just all those comedians, Robin Williams, David Brenner.

Steve Martin was on a couple of times.

Yeah.

But then the acts, I mean, you go from the Tomodores to Steely Dan.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was just great stuff.

Yeah.

I remember once Ann Murray was hosting and I think she introduced like Ted Nugent.

I think Ted Nugent and Aerosmith were on the same show.

So it's Ann Murray introducing Ted Nugent or Aerosmith.

And yeah, they

had funk bands in there they had pop bands it was just everything anything and everything

oh yeah I remember the first the one band I remember the first time I went wow this is gonna be good went out and hunted down the album with the cars oh when the cars first appeared on midnight specials like wow this is

This is different.

This is cool.

Yeah, I think that was after their first album and then after Candio like 79 they were they were on and they hosted Midnight Special and they were asked is there anything special you want to do for your hosting night and they said no talking will do no talking no intros no nothing just music and that's that was what they did.

It seemed kind of weird but very cool.

Oh

yeah, it was just a good show.

Have you seen the Midnight Special YouTube channel?

The diversity of music on that show it was it was everything it gave you a well-rounded image of what the music was at that time.

It really did

and I

think it expanded everybody's mind.

It gave

everybody a look.

Well

it must be throwback Thursday because I know I hear from you every throwback Thursday.

Right on, right on, right

on!

First of all, I am sorry about your quarterback, man.

I seriously puddled up for you.

That was bad.

Well, thank you.

I appreciate your puddling.

I really

do, because

I was puddling.

Boy, I was puddling.

I'm still puddling.

I don't blame you.

That's why I'm bringing it.

Throw back it.

Throw back, back to last Sunday.

There you go.

Yeah,

yeah.

Let's go back further than last Sunday, can we?

Yes, we can.

Oh, good.

This guy, I think you've told me you went to kindergarten school with him.

Yeah.

Probably.

And he's from your favorite band, and it was 50 years ago this month.

He had a number one song for a whole week.

Are we talking Paul McCartney?

You're close.

Ringo?

Yes, you are.

Are we talking Don't Come Easy?

No.

Photograph.

Oh, photograph, of course.

I can't believe I stumped the man who knows it all.

I am not.

As well versed to the Beatles solo stuff as I am to the Beatles when they were actually a group.

That is what I'm obsessed with.

I like their solo stuff, but it's not, it's not the

Beatles.

No, I agree with you 100% but since I'm 50 years ago, you know, wedding and welding bells and all that crap, I kind of into the 73-ish thing.

And I just remember, I was thinking the other day, I thought, wow, what was that?

Oh, do you have photographs?

Yeah.

And I thought, well, what do you know?

I said, this is a guy's favorite band.

I went to kindergarten with him.

I did

go to kindergarten with Ringo.

I did.

He was really good at finger painting, and he would do it with his nose as well.

It was like a finger nose paint thing.

See, I knew you'd

know.

It's always great to take your calls and talk to you.

And let's wrap up this morning, meld down with some hit and run headlines.

Get you up to date on all your current events

So there are rumors that Apple may buy Disney.

We'll know for sure when all the kids from It's a Small World start assembling iPhones.

Junk food sales continue to decline due to ozempic.

You can tell little Debbie's feeling the pinch.

She's now on OnlyFans.

This month, DeGiorno is selling a Thanksgiving pizza which features turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberries, cheese, and a crispy onion topping.

They're all available online only and will cost you $11.23.

Well, $11.23 in the use of your colon for a few days.

Today is Day of the Dead.

That's right, Day of the Dead.

Could the timing be any more perfect?

Oh boy.

Yeah, so there is a day set aside to honor the Chicago Bears.

I have to dedicate that one to Jeff Winfield.

Sorry, Jeff.

Walmart will be closed on Thanksgiving because even people who make meth in bathrooms should be able to spend the day with loved ones.

A pig by the name of Kevin Bacon that was on the loose for 17 days has been captured and returned to his home where he can finally live up to the second half of that name.

But I guess Kevin Bacon got footloose there for a while.

I'm sorry.

Moving right along.

Kim Kardashian's daughter North made 20 grand to be in the new Paw Patrol movie, and her son, Saint, made $10,000.

Their characters were Nepo Baby One and Nepo Baby Two.

The rich get richer, huh?

The Rolling Stones are the first act to have a top 10 album in every decade since the 60s.

And Keith Richards is the first artist to survive an overdose in each of those decades as well.

Congratulations, Keith.

Warner Brothers bumped the release date of Aquaman 2.

They say it's no big deal, but something feels a little fishy.

A little fishy.

George Clooney's Batman suit will be up for auction, so if you want to own something from history's worst Batman, buy it from Ben Affleck, I

guess.

Ryan Gosling is now a Ken doll, and so is Simon Cowell.

But in Simon's case, he had so much work done, he's literally a plastic figure anyway, so...

Gen Z wants less physical intimacy and more platonic relationships on TV.

Maybe that explains that new Max Show cuddling in the city.

Have you heard about that?

Yeah.

And finally, the Las Vegas Raiders fired head coach Josh McDaniels on Halloween night.

The timing was right since the Raiders have been masquerading as an NFL team all season.
