Hey, it's Mike Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.
This morning, throwback Thursday, we were talking about your proudest costume moment.
I was the devil.
Just a devil man.
That's what you are.
You're a devil man.
What'd you wear when you were the devil?
One of those plastic masks in a dark cape and they had a plastic prong.
Oh,
the trident, the sharp thing?
Yeah.
He used that to poke the residents of hell and stoke the flames.
So that was a pretty useful tool for Satan.
And that was pretty realistic what you were wearing because the devil also wears a plastic mask because his face actually looks like, do you know who baby Huey is?
the old cartoons.
Yeah,
you
look like Baby Huey.
And that's
not a very
intimidating face.
Kind of a mix between Baby Huey and Pee Wee Herman.
So he had to wear that mask too.
And I think that was the same mask you were wearing.
You being the devil, you should know this kind of thing.
I
like
it.
Hey Mike, Dave, 74 year old
expediter.
Dave!
Dave, whatcha doin', man?
I'm expediting
on it.
Of course
you are, of course you are.
I'm headin' to Milwaukee.
Milwaukee?
Well... Yeah, that's over in Wisconsin.
Milwaukee's in Wisconsin?
Hey, I learned some geometry today.
I was trying to be extra stupid, saying geometry and not knowing the Milwaukee.
Anyway, go ahead, Dave.
So, uh, what are you, are you gonna drink over there?
What are you doin'?
No, I expedited over, then I dropped off what I got, and I picked up on a trip over last week.
and I'm gonna have that.
So you're on an expedition to Expedite?
Yeah,
you
know I know, Greg.
Do I?
Hey!
What?
I got a, you know, you got my costumes.
Yeah.
You know, not as a kid, I didn't know that we had a lot of costumes.
Well, that was probably before costumes.
That's why they refer to it as BC.
Yeah, they had, we had a long road, a long range of masks, and we had masks, costumes that you had to kind of come up with on yourself.
Yeah.
Well, if you're going out for free
candy and stuff, why would you spend all the money on a costume?
Yeah.
Yes.
Heck with buying a costume.
save that money, go to the store, get the candy, then you don't even have to go out and walk around.
We
didn't have much better.
I mean, we had those vinyl or maybe they were tissue paper costumes.
They were just these cheap, crappy costumes with like a crappy mask back in the 70s.
I mean,
we had those cheap, crappy masks, but you know, nobody that was half bad school wore.
Well,
I didn't.
And it wasn't a big deal, especially
in the Midwest, if it was snowing, you'd have to mask on and you have your coat on over the other stuff anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah, growing up trick-or-treating in the Midwest, that was always a part of our costume.
The damn jacket that you were just ticked off about wearing.
Yeah, I figured it this way.
I'm a very pretty man, and I was a very pretty kid, so kind of against the laws of nature to cover that kind of pretty up.
I believe that.
You bet.
Well, you know me.
You know what
I'm saying?
look at man I am.
Well that's that's why I'm doubting what you're saying because I've seen with my own eyes.
Go as yourself
and be scary and
save the money on the costume.
Your eyes must be bad.
Hat fur was my first one.
Was it one of
those plastic masks?
Yeah.
And the cheap costume one size fits all.
It tore about 30 minutes into the night.
Yeah, I don't know how much they were, but no matter what the cost, they were overpriced.
Yeah, my parents were too happy about it, but it was
it.
Yeah.
Well, I think if they were so cheap, we should have bought three of what we wanted to wear, and then we'd have backup because it was tissue paper.
So then we'd
have a
backup costume.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The backup costume was always Dracula.
Right.
Your football parents.
Yeah, there you go.
Well, at least you were
friendly ghost so you didn't get too pissed
about
it right thank you Carrie from Dicert so tell me do you have a favorite costume memory from the past or maybe you've got a good plan for this year and absolutely you shouldn't be Carrie because the last thing I want for you is goats blood covering you from head to toe
That's right.
Well, I reckon I'm a cowgirl then.
Perfect.
Well, you sound like a cowgirl and as long as you're not an intersex moose girl, I think we're all right on that.
Bull twinkle.
Even you know what I'm saying.
I do, I do.
You
bet your nuggets.
You bet your nuggets.
Chicken fried nuggets.
That's right.
And I don't know how you knew that, but...
A lucky guess.
Yeah,
a lucky guess, of course.
The lucky, the lucky cowgirl.
Carrie from, we'll say, from West of the Pay Coast.
All righty.
I like that sir.
Yes, sir.
I like it.
Well, all right, all right.
Well, what does Carrie from West of the Pay Coast want me to rustle up for?
Well, I was thinking maybe Black Witchy Woman.
I can't remember the name of the song off the top of my
head.
Got a Black Witchy Woman.
It's Black Magic Woman by
Santana
and it's Witchy Woman
by the
Eagles.
I think that's what you should be one of those.
You should either be witchy woman or black magic woman.
I think that's creepier than cowgirl.
You think that's creepier?
Yeah.
I could be, I guess.
Yeah, but you know, it's fine.
It's fine.
Whatever you want to do.
I'm no judge.
No, I'm
sure
as soon as you get off the phone, you have a whole conversation.
Oh, you bet.
Here I am
by myself talking to you.
And I've got this window that people are walking by and just looking at me strange.
You know, it doesn't take Halloween to turn me creepy.
Cowgirl.
girl
carry
or a
witchy woman
witchy woman or yeah or whatever black magic witchy woman black magic witchy woman I think that would be perfect
I like that
oh good oh good okay we're gonna roll with that okay all right
All right, well, I should play a combo of you two that you want to hear.
So we'll do that coming up next.
How about that?

D-Man, how
are you?
Back when they were scary, I dressed up as a Minnesota-like player.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
I went one time, a zombie Vikings fan.
I was basically, and I had to explain this to everybody, I was a Vikings fan who died before they went to the Super Bowl.
That's my first costume.
I was Francis Tarkington Yeah, and my cousin was Chuck foreman's number
back in the purple people either days.
Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that's cool That's very cool.
And then my other cousin was a mod or shot You know those are those are three heroes right there good old Fran Tarkington, man I'll tell you he was about three feet tall You'd see him next to these other football players.
