International Tongue Twisters Day

The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Wed Nov 8, 2023

Hey, it's Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.

I don't know about you, but my tongue is still just about as twisted as my mind is.

From all those tongue twisters you were delivering this morning.

Uh...

A skunk sat on a stump, the skunk thunked the stump stunk, and the stump thunked the skunk stunk.

Yikes!

Boy, that's tough with your tongue banging against your cheeks.

It felt like there was a 10 car accident in my mouth.

You betcha.

You

bet your

booty.

There you go.

Hey, you make our lives a lot better off here, big boy.

Well, thanks and thanks for calling me big boy.

got a good tongue twister for you.

Okay.

As fast as you can, 10 times to roll, fuzzy pink bunnies.

Fuzzy pink bunnies.

What?

You gotta do it faster.

After than that, I don't know if my tongue

moves that fast.

Most

people end up saying fuzzy pink bunnies.

Fuzzy pink bunnies.

Fuzzy

Fuzzy pink bunnies, fuzzy pink bunnies.

I kinda slipped on one there.

So what do you do that you have patience that you need to have relax?

Oh, I should have known.

This is Captain Cracker.

You

can't even say it one time fast.

Yeah, it is longer than that.

Here, uh, okay.

I googled I got the whole thing up.

Peter Piper picked

a peck of pickled peppers.

A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Bingo!

There was a guy named Peter Piper.

This was in the 1800s.

He has these famous pickled peppers.

And apparently it was in print, like in 1813.

So that's when all this started.

It was called Peter Piper's Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation.

Flippy floppy flippers.

Five

times fast.

Flippy floppy flippers.

Some people can do it.

Some I can't.

Do you

own a pair of flippy floppy flippers?

Probably because you can't say flippy floppy flippers to ask the manager where these are located in the store.

They have it.

That's it, man.

I never scuba dive either because I couldn't have the flippy floppy flip.

Yeah, yeah, the flippy floppy flippers, I get it.

Yeah,

exactly.

Have you ever heard of the drinking game, How to Become a Turtle?

How to Become a Turtle?

Yeah, it's a drinking game.

It's kind of 10 tongue twisters, and every time you make a mistake, you have to drink as many sips as the mission number that you're on.

Okay,

I've never heard of

that drinking game.

I would tax it to you because it takes

suppose.

Well, what I'll do is, every time I screw up, I'll just have another sip of coffee.

That'll work great for me.

I know, I know.

That's what I'm hoping for.

All right.

You know, it would be tough to do tongue twisters when you're all wired and you're all, you know, just kind of have this crazy energy going.

Okay.

This may not be a tongue

twister, but I cannot.

Say aluminum.

Saying aluminum twists your tongue?

Yeah, aluminum.

Aluminum.

You know, Mrs. Waters, it's kind of a tongue twister for her as well, aluminum.

Yeah.

And I don't know if this word is tough for you, but if we were to include another word to make it a multi-word tongue twister, we'd put cinnamon in there.

Aluminum, cinnamon.

Yeah, see?

Aluminum, cinnamon.

That's a toughie.

That's the one I give Mrs. Waters every once in a while.

Aluminum Cinnamon.

Yeah,

I know.

Yeah, okay.

I thought I'd check.

I split sheets for the sheet splitter's daughter while the sheet splitter's daughter split sheets.

Yeah, I would never, ever trust myself to say that live on the radio.

Why not?

Well, uh...

Because I could swear then we get a big fine from the FCC and then I'd get canned and then I'd have to go try and get unemployment

Well, if you get it right then

you

don't have

to swear but see the thing is it's like walking across the Grand Canyon on one of those wires Without a net and I don't trust a net anyway because she's not all that strong But anyway, so that's what I'd be doing and I'm I'm not so confident in my tongue-twisting skills

Okay

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take up your time.

No, I loved the tongue twister.

I loved you doing it.

You did it right.

I just don't want to say it myself because I might get in trouble.

I don't think I've ever heard anybody say it three times without getting in trouble.

Right.

So, hey, you gotta admit there's a lot of words in there that you can twist.

Oh, the whole sheet-slitten thing.

Yeah.

Why don't you give that to us one more time?

I split sheets.

for the Sheets Blitters Daughter while the Sheets Blitters Daughter split

season.

Weekday mornings, 5.30 to 10.
