Backwards Cowboys

The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Wed Jan 31, 2024

Hey, it's Waterson, the water's wake up call.

Boy, did we have a backwards kind of random Wednesday this morning.

We were picking out our cowboy names.

Actually, it's not Sky Blue Water today.

You have to call me by my cowboy name.

No,

it

goes along with Rooster Cogburn, but I'm not as cool as John Wayne, so I'm Chicken Rugburn.

So stupid

fart noises, but in context sitting around the fire eating beans

Yeah,

and I'm sure Mel Brooks was thinking exactly what you were thinking.

They're always eating beans

Why aren't you hearing the farting and people complaining about the smell?

Tell you what, you bring up some of the craziest stuff and you might go back to them memories that just make you laugh like

crazy.

There you go.

Beans, beans are good for your heart.

Before you eat, before you fart, before you fart, before you feel, let's have beans for every meal.

That's what those cowboys, that's why they eat beans all the time.

And they're good for you.

Damn right, man.

So have yourself a blessed day.

You as well know beans about

it.

Yes, Mike, Jack.

Hey, Mike, how's it going today?

Oh, I'm pretty good there, Farmer Dave.

How are you?

Oh, pretty good.

So what's my cowboy name?

I don't know.

Don't you want to come up with something?

Well, I'm sure you got a deal.

You can look it up.

How about this because your your farmer name is Farmer Dave your cowboy name will be cowboy Dave

Well,

how are you?

How are you?

What should I call you cowboy?

I'm Dusty troubadour Dusty troubadour Very nice.

Very nice.

I've got a little backward for you.

Oh

Yes, that'd be bad get.

That'd be bad get.

That's right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, that would be a good one.

Let's do that.

I'm always looking for reasons to play some Beatles.

Yeah, that's a good Beatles song.

It is.

It's not much of a cowboy tune, but hey, screw it.

Screw the rules.

It's backwards today.

I like the way you look, buddy.

Yeah,

I'm

looking for chicken

and rugburn.

Hey, there's chicken, rug, burn, raw chair.

So who am I talking to?

Mossy Oats mud slinger.

So you're not a gun slinger.

You're a mud slinger.

Yeah.

Today I'm doing drywall work.

Yeah.

You know what?

Instead of Butch Cassidy and the Holdin' the Wall gang, you can be, you can be Mossy Oats.

oak mud slinger and the drywall gang.

That's it.

There we go.

We got ourselves a thing.

You know, I join your drywall gang, but I'm too wet.

You know, me being chicken, roog burn waters and all.

Roog burn, chicken feathers, that smells bad, doesn't

it?

I don't know.

Maybe I've gotten used to it.

I've lived with it pretty much my whole life.

But yes, it smells like chicken, mainly.

Mainly.

Mainly chicken, yes.

There's a couple other scents kind of mixed in there, but we don't need to really concentrate on them.

No.

I'm glad we've come to a consensus.

You have a good day, sir.

Cash was kind of a cowboy in my mind, you know?

Yeah.

I always loved his song, the boy named Sue.

And you know, this boy was a rough, tough guy, kind of like a, I always pictured him as a Western guy or whatever have you like that.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I got this lady that I worked for Coca-Cola and I'd merchandise at Walmart and this back room lady is, is really a very not nice person.

She had to write your name down like when you sign in.

So I always thought I'd write down

and I thought, you know, that would be a good Johnny Cash song, Sue Farmer.

That's your

cowboy

name, Sue Farmer.

That's my tough cowboy name, Sue Farmer.

I love it, and I love the way you call her.

What did you call her?

The back room lady?

She's a back room lady.

She's a back room manager, and she

is very mean.

Yeah, she sounds like a back room lady, if you know what I mean.

So I thought Sue Farmer...

would be a good name to write down for her.

And then she doesn't appreciate that when I write my cowboy name down in the paper.

She has called my boss and complaining about it.

She doesn't think that's my real name.

What she has in a course is my cowboy name.

I'm surprised she can't have a sense of humor and think, oh yeah, Johnny Cash and things.

Being in a back room later, you're not going to be like that, I guess.

That's what she has to do, yes.

I love it.

Sue Farmer.

You remember that.

Awesome.

Thank you, Mike.

How could

I forget it?

You can't.

Just think Johnny Cash.

Well, I've been to Atlantic and back already.

Now I'm headed to Nevada.

So

you're out of the place.

I am everywhere like chicken man.

Like chicken.

That's

right.

He's everywhere.

He's everywhere.

If I had to call myself a cowboy name at this age, I guess I'd call myself the Metamucle Kid.

Let me make sure I can still do this.

There

might be the chicken man who never met a muzzle he didn't like And I am bragging her nothing, but I I talked to a genuine cowgirl You know where you love her carry from dice shirt and since she is a genuine cowgirl I got a couple of questions like like tarnation You are always hearing cowboys saying things like tarnation.

Where the hell is

tarnation?

Texas.

It is.

Tarnation

is going to leave it there.

Radio will just leave that there and moving on to question number two.

Have you heard about the Supercows?

Supercows?

Well, they say the Chinese have cloned these super cows.

As far as what they do to make them super, I don't know.

But apparently they give twice as much milk.

But how do you think the Chinese cowboys make that happen?

I gotta say, there's gotta be lots of weird chemicals in there.

We'd almost got money on that.

Maybe a carnation, you know?

The instant milk just becomes something there in their belly.

And you know what?

You know

what?

What?

You said you know what?

And I said chicken butt.

That's my favorite cowgirl joke is what that is.

But do you know where that stuff comes from?

The carnation.

No.

Tarnation.

Oh,

yeah, my bad.

Tarnation instant milk is going on with them Chinese cows.

And I would like to leave you with some words of wisdom.

Oh, please do.

The only good reason to ride a bull is to meet a nurse.

No, hold on.

That's from my brother.

Hang on now.

Let's see here.

Don't, don't dig for water under an outhouse.

That is very good

advice.

And if you

get thrown

from a horse you have to get up and get back on unless you landed on a cactus then you have to roll around and scream in pain a little bit.

And you know the quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your back pocket.

Oh, I like that one.

And when

in doubt, let your horse do the thinking.

No.

I couldn't lead to trouble.

All right, I'll leave you with that then.

Yeah.

Hey, you have a fantastic day, sir.

Weekday mornings, 5 30 to

10.
