The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Tue Jun 25, 2024

Hey, it's Waters from the Waters Waco Call.

You know, since it's National Camping Week, I thought we'd make a camping

mixtape.

Well, I have to ask, have you ever seen him?

How long you been looking?

Okay, so you started at birth

and have seen nothing over the 53 years.

Oh,

with a name like Big Foot, I would have to imagine all that duty would be at least a Big Foot

deep.

You know, we used to listen to Joe Wall's Rocky Mountain Way.

That'd be a good one, if you're camping in the mountains.

But really anywhere works.

Yeah, we used to go to Camp Crystal Lake, not the one from Friday the 13th.

Good.

Camp Crystal Lake.

My heart started pounding, so I'm glad that's not the same one, because I would say don't probably haven't read any of the brochures for that place, but that place is not a place you want to camp.

And you don't definitely want to fish there either.

No!

Oh

my

god.

We're

playing hockey.

Right?

Cupers, there's no more squatting and messing up your jeans or shoes.

Remember that song where the kid would sing Heddo Butter Heddo Plata?

Camp Granada.

Yeah, that's the camp he went to.

Yeah.

I didn't know if that was something that's not really considered a song.

Gosh, I might have it somewhere.

Oh, yeah, that's it.

I've been waiting for somebody to request Hello, Mother, Hello, Fata all morning.

I

loved it when I was little, and I still do.

I get a kick out of

it.

There was a K-Tel album called Looney Tunes.

And when I saw the commercial, they started off with that song.

And I thought, I've got to have that album so I can get Hello, Mother, Hello, Fata.

And I loved the song.

I'm going to play it.

Okay.

Well, thank you.

Of

course, of course you have to say that because you're family.

That's a great one.

You can't be camping if there's not a dock within half a mile.

Yeah.

What?

Watching the tide roll away?

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Do you go camping often, Iron Man?

Every once in a while, dude.

Yeah?

Yeah.

What's your idea of camping?

I got an RV, so.

So RV?

RV is your idea of camping, so you don't do like tents?

Well, I used to, but once you

get old and... It hurts

the

back.

But me and my wife are getting rid of the RV because we don't go that much, but we're thinking about, you know, big camp and one of those air mattresses and that way we can go camping.

You

know what I always thought would make a really good tent and especially when it comes to sleeping one of those bouncy houses I think we should have a bouncy house campground.

That's what I think fun for the kids good for sleeping Hey, that's that's all you need.

We'll get ten bouncy houses and then People can stay for a couple days then we shift in more people and so on

and so on.

Yeah, very, very

large one too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Mike and Iron Man's bouncy house campground.

There you go.

There we go.

Well, we'll set it up later today.

I'll call you.

As long as there is, again, a dock, we have to make sure there's a dock within a half mile of the Bouncy House campground.

Yes.

Okay, good.

Nice, cruel, clean water.

Yeah.

Dock of the bed.

Right on.

Okay.

And I just rolled out of bed and I heard the topic.

Yeah.

And you

know how when you manage to get to the campsite and it always starts

It starts raining when you set up the tent.

Yes.

So how about you put the tent up and you play Fool on the Rain?

Fool

on the Rain, Led Zeppelin.

Yeah, I never

thought

of them as a camping

band.

No,

it's not really, but I love me some Led Zeppelin when I'm camping.

Well, and when I'm camping, I'm kind of an idiot anyway, and when it's raining, then I'm an idiot in the rain.

I'm almost a fool, but I'm mainly an idiot in the rain.

No, I'm definitely a fool in

the rain.

All right, so we should never go camping together.

A fool and an idiot.

Yeah, it kind of almost sounds like that.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

here I am.

Fools on the left of me, idiots to the right.

Yeah.

Here I am, camping in the rain.

Stuck here with Ivan again.

Yup.

Sit around the

fire, talking to people.

That is nice.

We don't really communicate much with each other anymore.

You don't

have to even hold a cell phone to do

it.

Well, you gotta tape the fire the whole time.

Other than that.

Get out of here.

You don't

need to do that.

No.

You sit around the fire.

You cook food outdoors and reflect a little bit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know if you can hear that or not.

What is that?

A couple years ago.

Any chance I have of playing anything from Blazing Saddles and I'm there?

You must insert that, yeah.

Good morning, Mr. Waters.

How are we doing today?

Bleeber County Big

Man.

I'm doing pretty good.

How are you?

How are

you, man?

Oh, just hoping my air conditioner don't get about today, I tell ya.

Ah, 90-something.

That's too hot.

I

know, I know.

It's in the 80s already.

So does that mean you hate camping?

Oh, well, in a tent, yeah.

RV, is that what you're more in the line of RVs, that kind of thing?

That would work, yeah.

I used to have full behind campers, you know?

Oh, I get you 100%, man.

I mean, there are some beautiful places to camp here in the Midwest.

I grew up in Minnesota, and there are so many lakes there.

I mean, you, it's like puddles in the spring.

That's how many lakes Minnesota has.

But it gets so humid, you gotta have the AC.

My wife wants to move up, would love to move up northern Minnesota.

Oh, yeah.

What would you put on a camping playlist?

You're out there having fun.

You know you're gonna have cocktails, so you might as well play a little bit.

Let's get rocked.

Weekday mornings, 5.30 to

10.
