Hey, Mike Waters here from the Waters Wake Up Call.
Just wanted to let you know I'm gonna be taking a few days off.
I'll be back the day after Labor Day on Tunes Day.
But
what a great weather.
I think you need a vacation.
I think it is time to get away for a little bit.
See, I'm thinking the same thing.
You've been incredibly wound here for a while.
What?!
!
All right, well enough of that holla notes.
Had a great Wanda Wednesday talking about lunch boxes.
I
guess it's here, yeah, strawberry shortcake.
And I'll bet you are all things strawberry shortcake, weren't ya?
Yes.
Did you have the stuffed strawberry shortcake?
Yes,
I did.
Did you have the bedspread?
No.
I did have curtains,
though.
Yo, you did have the strawberry shortcake curtains.
Okay, well that makes up for the bedspread then.
Yes.
My parents were very conservative, and if I wanted something attractive, I would have had a paint Batman or something on my paper sack, you know, where my lunch was.
Yeah, I had to start off with a bag lunch, too, but I just told everybody it was my unknown comic lunchbox.
Oh, that's a great bit.
I had an emergency lunchbox, and I thought I was really cool.
Did everybody else think you were really cool, or was it just you?
Like you said, everyone was rocking one of the cool lunchboxes, but I had the emergency one, and boy, I thought I was really special.
Did anybody think it was a first aid kit?
No, actually, you know, because everyone knew what the show was.
So, you know, everyone wanted to look at it and thought it was really cool.
But, yeah, that was fun times.
Yeah.
Did they look at your lunchbox and go, hey, which one's Randolph man-tooth?
Right.
I had a prom queen lunchbox.
And on the way home from school, I stopped and picked up some rocks because I liked rocks.
With my big brother at a gas station.
She used the restroom.
Okay What
were you most sorry about losing was it the lunchbox or the
rocks?
And
you had just got the rocks all bed right
The
rocks in the box all were gone Well, please tell me you eventually became in real life prom queen
No.
That would have rocked.
That would have
rocked.
That is probably the best and the saddest lunchbox story I've ever heard.
I had a Barbie.
A Barbie lunchbox?
Yeah.
Did it have anything special inside?
Did it come with a Barbie thermos?
Yeah, it did.
Oh, good.
So what was the picture on the front?
Do you remember?
I
think it was just black.
Maybe it was vinyl.
A black vinyl Barbie case.
Was this when she went goth?
Oh, no.
Goth Barbie.
Don't you remember goth Barbie?
Oh, it was all the rage back in the 70s.
Oh, no.
I just took a picture and sent you one.
My original one.
Daniel Boone?
The Daniel Boone one.
I just got it.
Fess
Parker.
Yes.
Between men and cowboy shows, they didn't get any better.
Yeah, I know.
He was Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, that guy.
Yes.
Yeah.
Have you all
pretty knowledge
about everything, aren't ya?
My brain!
loves that kind of information I don't know what it is it just sticks I wish it was math and science and something practical sticking to my brain but no it's pop culture of almost any decade even when I wasn't around it's weird that's not all bad
you know no
no it really helps with what I do so yeah thanks for sharing that man that's that's very cool
but no problem I just ain't talked to you for a while now

I'll send it.
So thank you for doing that.
Thank you and keep up the good
work.
