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?
Hey,
it's Mike Waters from the Waters' Wake Up Call.
Earlier this Tuesday morning, we were talking about the tunes that fueled your rebellion.
And who's more rebellious than holla notes, I ask
ya?
Happy Tuesday, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, Mike.
Well, happy Tuesday, holla, holla, holla, holla, holla.
Hey, good day.
Hey, did you hear my clip talking about you this morning?
No, I missed it.
I must have been out of my truck.
Now, this guy knows how to rebel.
Listen.
I used to imagine the wind blowing through my perm, blasting some holla notes, maybe horsing around with my Mr. Microphone.
Blasting some holla notes.
Not quite you,
but still.
I
missed it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you, now you seem like quite the rebel holla notes.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Well, how would you rebel when you were of that age?
Oh, I was bad, man.
Were you?
Like, how bad?
How bad were you?
Oh, I was so bad I had friends in low places.
Well, if you're quoting country to me, you are a rebel.
Even your friends in low places were higher than you.
Maybe that's how bad you were.
No, I was bad.
Yeah,
bad bad bad.
So give me an example of a rebellious move from Holland Oates.
I played football.
Yep.
And I stole.
One day during scrimmage, I tackled a mascot.
So on purpose.
On purpose.
What was your mascot?
He was a lion.
Oh, you tackled a lion.
Got now that.
Geez, that's rebellious and courageous.
You had the courage of Hawaiian to do that.
Yeah, well, some of the guys in the huddle said this mascot's being a pain in the butt.
Anybody want to tackle him?
I
said, sure, I will.
Sure,
yeah.
And Holland Oaks was just hollering the **** right into him.
Yep, I'm a receiver, so the guy said that a quarterback tied.
He said, I'll throw the ball to you, be close to the mascot, catch the ball, and then whack him.
Oh, I love a team effort when it comes to rebellion.
Yep.
Did anything happen or was it just considered a mistake?
It's like, whoops, sorry, and you moved on.
Yep, sorry about that.
Whoops, T, had to catch the ball.
Oh,
that's great.
See, that's great right there.
Did you injure him?
Did he have any permanent injury?
No.
No, OK.
That's good.
That's good.
He's getting down on all fours.
I had to start
running.
Hey, I don't need to hear your personal business.
So
what tune would you use to do all this crazy rebellion?
I'm bad, Michael Jackson.
Oh, of course.
I'm bad.
I'm bad.
I thought you were going to say hollering oats.
I can't go for that.
Well, I can't go for that, yeah.
Yeah, that'd work.
I can't go for that.
No, no, no can do.
So you're bad, you're bad.
Chimon, something like that.
Chimon.
Yeah, Chimon.
That's right.
That's right.
That is actually French for rebellious.
That's right.
So I'll get the black jacket, the black, you know, leather jeans,
and my
white glove, and I'm heading down the road.
Morning, Mr. Waters.
How are you doing today?
Well, Hawaiian, you know, I'm doing pretty good.
I'm feeling a little rebellious.
How about you?
I've always been.
I
always get that vibe from you.
I used to play another brick in the wall, Blue Easter Cult.
Which Blue Easter Cult?
The Reaper one.
Reaper!
It's giving me right now the song title.
Don't fear the Reaper.
Thank you.
It's the getting old.
You put something in the front and something falls off the back and it may be something that you need.
What?
Say that again.
I'm not quite sure what that meant.
When you're old, there's only so much space up in your brain that you take something in the front and shove something off the back.
Yes.
And sometimes what's shoving off the back is what you were talking
about.
So what would you do?
Would you just crank it up and just pump yourself up to be more rebellious?
Or how would you use these tunes to rebel?
Well, no, I would crank it up really loud to my neighbors.
could hear.
In Hawaii, the houses are really close together.
We don't have a big one.
Sure.
So then you bounced around the living room on the furniture, kind of, you know, like the, what is it, Tom Cruise movie?
Whiskey business?
Thank you, yeah.
And then I have my friends come over and we all do it at the same time, you know, and you're doing the jumping up and down and seeing everything in the living room.
Yeah.
Now that sounds like a party over there, busting up furniture, jumping up and down.
Well, it could be, I guess.
Yeah.
There was no alcohol involved, but, you know, yeah.
Well, you know, but still your wrecking furniture and listening to songs about reapers and...
That's
it.
Yeah.
Makes total sense to me.
We were ACDC fans, you know, so... Oh, yeah.
We were a little, we were a little strange, especially in Hawaii, where, you know, that's not the type of music.
Right.
Everybody else is listening to Don Ho.
There you are listening to Blue Easter Colt and ACDC, you rebel.
That's it.
That is, that is it.
Rebel Yell you talking about?
Yep, I thought about it but no, nobody's called about it yet.
You are the first and that is a song we have to play.
Did you rebel with it or do you dislike it because it talks about rebellion?
okay well that's the perfect answer I guess I can't ask for better than that we'll definitely play some Billy Idol even though it's actually about whiskey it's about rebel yell whiskey well he took that he took it from rebel yell whiskey but I mean he's singing about it is you know with a rebel yell you cry more more more
So it's about rebellion, the way he sings about it.
He got the title from, he was backstage with the Rolling Stones, and they're all taking drinks from this big bottle of Rebel Yell Whiskey, passing it around.
You can get a font of information.
Font.
Whatever the hell it is.
That's right.
Helvetica, if I'm a font at all.
That's another story for another time, Les.
Morning,
Mr. Waters.
How are you
today?
Well, I'm doing pretty good there, Broomer County big man.
the Brimmer Rebel 2?
Well, I don't know.
You don't know.
I was
a good kid.
You know, I was a good kid.
Listen, no bait.
Well, good for you.
And actually, I don't believe you.
Oh, yeah.
I got some oceanfront property in Colorado, I'll tell you too.
I'll take it.
Is it the top?
Is it at the top of a big mountain?
It's actually on the bottom.
Oh, well, I'll take that too.
I'll take both of them.
What music would you use to
rebel?
You know, there was something about profanity in some music that made it extra sweet and extra rebellious.
Because if they could play it on the radio, I could say it.
That's what I mean.
It's like,
drop that in your face, dad.
Yup.
When you say that, one of mine was Here of the Dog by Nazareth.
Now you're messing with the son of a b----.
And I told a story a little earlier.
I don't know if you heard it But what I would do is I would turn my stereo speakers and point them out the window and we lived in a really nice Clean good neighborhood and there was something about the name of the street and the town that made me want to rebel We lived on Hopewood Lane in New Hope, Minnesota.
It was like when you cross city lines It's almost you felt like you had to wipe your feet
And I would, I would point my speakers out the windows and I would just crank hair of the dog by Nazareth over and over until my neighbors started complaining to my parents.
Yeah, see, I lived out in the country
where...
Oh.
And that didn't happen until I was like 17 when I got the big stereo speakers.
Yeah, yeah.
And then the only reason the one time the neighbor turned me in for having a party is because I didn't tell him I had a gang.
So then after that, I had to tell him, hey, we got a gang.
Stop buying that beer.
Hey, you invite me, I won't tattle, but... But if you, uh... You know... That... Hey... I had
to... I had to let him know.
Yep, you did.
And you did ever since, I'm sure.
You still do, to this point, just to make sure.
Well, no, now we just... I have a beer with him occasionally.
Oh, that's nice.
Talk about the old times when he'd turn you in.
Oh, yeah.
Good morning, Mike.
I hope you're having a wonderful day.
Well,
thank you,
man.
I am so far.
I hope you are too.
I'm having a blast today.
I just want you to know that when I was rebelling, my favorite song was Never Been Any Reason by Heddy.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
That's right.
Yes, that's a rebel song if I ever heard one.
Well, thank you, Mike.
You have a great day.
Yeah, good morning, Mike.
Good morning there, Iron Man.
What's your rebel tunes from back in the day?
Yeah, I wasn't the bad person that would have had a job, but mom and dad would be there.
I want to go out with mom and dad if they know certain times.
Right, sure.
Yeah.
I'd have to bring out my kiss album.
Yeah.
Of course it's kiss.
I mean, come on, look at them.
They got makeup on.
They got long hair.
You got Gene Simmons spitting blood for goodness sakes and flying up in the rafters is some kind of demon-backed.
Good God.
I'm scared just talking about it.
You know.
Rock and roll, rock and roll, come on.
Yeah, plus, yeah, plus the loud rock and roll.
Absolutely.
Knights in Satan service.
That's what they thought K-I-S-S stood for back in the some did.
Of course, kids came out and said, what, what are you crazy?
No, that's, that's not it at all.
So that was one of my rebel bands too.
I mean, in the, in the mid to late seventies, everybody of our generation, it was kiss.
It was kiss.
That's right.
Beth, I hear you, Colin, but I'm not coming home.
There you
go.
There
you go, man.
All right.
Thanks for that, Iron Man.
Appreciate you,
Colin.
I'm trying
to think which version was that was that the old I'm a wild one or was it the Iggy Pop
80s wild one.
Okay,
let me look for it.
That would be cool.
That is a great song.
I'm a real wild child.
Well,
thanks for bringing that up.
I'm gonna look for it.
I have to play it.
I have to.
All right, I appreciate that.
All right.
Thank you, wild
one.
