Hey, it's Mike waters from the waters wake up call.
Hey, I'm off for a couple days.
I'll be back Monday But it was great having the first week of cow week with you and I got some great cow stories as
well
It's ironic
that they found the bowl at a place where there's more bowl being spoken than anything.
What'd you get on that last hole, Bob?
I think that was a hole in one, you know,
that kind
of
thing.
You don't expect a bull to be out on the golf course.
No, you sure don't.
Can you imagine people's reaction if they were actually out ball and then coming there's a bull?
You know what I do in that situation?
What would you do?
I'd get the hell off the golf course and go bowling.
One of them tried to take us out one night, in the middle of the night, decided to get out on the highway and use the highway instead of in his pasture.
And we about pulled right in.
Oh, no.
And
just like them Illinois drivers already was bullying his way through traffic cutting in front of people going way too fast, right?
Oh, great.
So
he was charging you for riding the horse?
How much?
How much do you charge?
That's your big saying now when I answer the phone, isn't it?
There, now we know who you are.
from stampeding.
Uh, uh, Benadryl.
No.
Oh.
Bar-bar fences and electric fences.
Is that some kind of joke?
I don't know.
I thought there's gonna be this funny punchline, but Electric Fence is never a good punchline.
No matter what joke you're telling.
Well, you don't wanna pee on one, that's for sure.
No, there's a town in Minnesota that you'd have to go to.
That town is Shakopee.
Shakopee, Minnesota.
Shakopee, I say, Ivan.
You know, I think most other people would laugh at that one, but you who will laugh at anything didn't laugh at my Shakopee joke.
She
wasn't
taking any chances whatsoever.
Wouldn't
bet co-
the cow wouldn't that if you went up to it after it got struck by lightning couldn't you just instantly make burgers I guess quicker than lightning
I
don't know either you're still here to talk about it
how'd
you get walked for wearing them cowboy boots you weren't supposed to you know they were my dad back then they were 150 so I'm sure you'd go
a boot in the butt.
Was he a tougher kicker or was the bull that kicked you in the head?
I can tell you've been kicked in the head by the way Buzz.
I think it's
a tie.
Yeah probably.
Just trying to drive out here.
and not hit any cows.
Have you ever hit a cow with your truck?
No, I can't say I have.
I know there's been people hit by cows.
Yeah,
they're attackers.
They're killer cows, man.
A lot of people think of them as docile creatures.
Yeah, bull crap or cow crap, I should say.
What is it with the running of the bulls?
Do you have a death wish when you sign up?
Do they play the Darth Vader march before they open the gates?
I believe it's a mariachi band.
I
think they should have the biathlon.
These people, first they do the running of the bulls, then if they survive that, they go swimming with the sharks.
Hopefully that'll take out the rest of them and pardon the expression, thinning of the herd.
I end up getting mauled by a bull.
Mauled
by a
bull.
Oh my god.
And I'm sure you're fully recovered.
Oh yeah, I'm doing a lot better.
I'll bet that taught you a lesson.
Yeah, not to go to rodeos and get around bulls.
I would say don't steal a heifer from a bull.
So my first job was for local farmer.
We milked and baled hay and we had a bull calf that we named Carl.
Carl the bull calf.
A
friendly little guy.
Yeah.
We'd be in there getting ready to milk and eat just feller and so I'd have to go over and scratch them on the nose.
Sure.
Yeah.
You'd
wrestle
the bull cow.
Yeah.
So you got him,
you got him a little action every
day.
We castrated our own,
so
he turned them into a steer, and Carl had a eating problem.
He went out and ate too much, but died.
That's a terrible story.
So castration, gluttony, and death.
Well, you know, that doesn't sound so bad,
really.
Weekday mornings, 5.30 to
10.
