Hey, it's Mike Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.
Tunes Day, this morning, we were talking about ultimate wake up tunes.
Good morning, Mike.
Happy birthday.
Merry New Year
to you!
Yeah!
How's your 2024 on day two?
Um, uh, good.
Okay, great.
That's good.
I'm glad yours is
better than mine, Kerry.
Better than yours, yes.
I was hearing the story, not good, not good.
First day
back after a week and a half, I'm up early, I get showered, I go down to the car, I'm scraping the windows, I had auto started, the keys were on the passenger side, and while I was scraping the windows, the car turned off and all locked, everything was in the car, and I
It was screwed.
Yeah.
Just in case somebody didn't hear, there's the nutshell version.
Pretty much.
But enough about me.
How about you wake up tune?
Like a little wham, a little wake me up before you go go?
You know, just the
name of the band
will wake you up.
Yes, that is true.
Pronounce the name correctly.
What do you mean?
Well, there's an exclamation point there that the correct pronunciation of the band is wham!
Wham!
There you go.
Wham!
Wake me up before you go, go.
Absolutely, yes.
Yes, see, all that put together will wake anybody up who's still sleeping.
Yes, it will.
I want you to have a great 2024 if I
don't talk to you
before December 31st.
I don't know.
Oh, I'm awful busy and so are you.
I don't know if I'll be able to slip you in or not.
I don't know if you can say
I'm busy.
I am awful though.
I hope you are not.
Oh, yes I am.
Today I was.
I love you.
Oh, thank you,
Gary.
Thank you so much.
I just want to be loved.
Is
that so
wrong?
No, it's not.
Hey, I got one that gets me going every morning.
Good.
What is it?
Smoking by Boston.
Smoking.
I think that's perfect.
is such an upbeat get-your-goin' type of thing for a second of morning.
Oh, it really is.
It really is.
I don't play that song enough anyway.
So you know what?
I think I'm going to take this opportunity, crank the heck out of it, and maybe even add a little bit to my coffee.
Just swirl it right in there.
Yeah, man.
Just turn that up, and that's all you'll need.
For sure.
For sure, dude.
All right, let's do it.
Have a great morning.
Mr. Waters!
Todd!
How are you, man?
What's going on with you?
What you been up to, brother?
Oh, just driving my life away.
Ah, yes.
I know this song well, Eddie Rabbit.
Yep,
yep.
How about a little AC DC highway to hell?
Yeah.
Yes.
Will that wake you up?
Will that keep you from nodding off at the wheel?
Quite possible.
Quite possible.
Not, not probable, but possible.
Yeah.
You know what?
I have the feeling you probably never nod off while you're driving, Trucker Todd.
You seem at least like a semi-professional, especially with what you're driving.
Yes, indeed.
Yes, indeedy.
So what you been up to Trucker Todd?
Oh, you're
truckin' and farmin', keepin' busy, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
Truckin' and farmin', farmin' and
truckin'.
Oh, it's been crazy.
You've just been too many funerals lately.
Oh, that's too bad.
Yeah, that sucks.
I know how that goes.
That sucks.
Well, one thing's for sure, you get to my great site, you're gonna see a...
A pair of skid marks, and there's gonna be a sign there that says, holy crap, what a ride.
A pair of skid marks?
Well, holy crap, I think I know what kind of skid marks you're talking about.
Oh.
Cliding inside ways.
That's right.
Cliding inside
ways.
Yes, and it'll make good fertilizer for the grass around your grave.
Crazy man.
They'll probably be a little out around there, yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
Just like around your life, and mine too, I guess, while we're
Yeah.
I need some motivation.
I need to jump.
That'll get you to
jump
right out of bed, right out of your sheets and right out of your jammies.
That's what I need.
Yeah.
And I know they're hard jammies to get out of because I know you still wear the footy jammies, don't you?
Yes, yes.
And they've got Mr. Magoo on them.
I know.
The cartoon guy.
Yeah.
Oh, I'll bet those are cute.
Oh, they're awesome.
Well, I wonder if we can make some... I'm trying to do Mr. Magoo, but that's not working, but... Nobody talks Mr. Magoo enough anymore, you know what I mean?
Be prepared to jump your butt out of bed and jump out of those footy Mr. Magoo jammies because here's Van Halen!
Rock on, crouton!
I used to go to work driving in my Mustang, listening to...
these two songs for wake
up okay
born to be wild
yes
and born in the usa
all right hey how about born free
that was a heck of a movie
Yeah, I think I saw that like a million years ago,
but... I think you're right.
It's
amazing that both of us remember it.
I know, isn't it?
It's kind of sad, really.
Yeah,
not
to mention it.
At least we can remember.
Semi-remember, yes.
And I'm semi-retired, because I kind of work and I kind of don't.
Oh no, you work and you do it.
Great job.
Well, thank you, sir.
I appreciate that.
You can never retire.
I don't plan on it.
Why would I?
Hey, you can't.
You keep us rocking and rolling in the good old
USA.
Weekday mornings, 5.30 to
10.
