Hey, it's Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.
Throwback Thursday this morning.
I think we are all having memories just flying back into our faces as we talked about the posters we had up on our
wall.
You're talking about good morning.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm fine.
Hey, thank you for being polite eventually.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
So do you have some posters up when you were growing up?
Yes, and you're going to be.
So jealous, you're gonna wish that you had
them.
Okay, let me, hold on, let me just get ahold of myself here real quick.
Okay, go.
So they're not exactly closer, they're more newspaper clippings, but I had them throughout my whole entire room.
Okay.
Can you guess what they were?
Newspaper clippings.
I may need a little more to go on.
From 85.
From 85.
And my brother lived in Chicago and sent them to me.
Super full shuffle.
What?
What?
The Super Bowl shovel I had clipped.
Oh, oh, oh,
oh.
Of course, the 85 Bears.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
I
had clipped all of the newspaper articles and pictures and posters he could send me off about the 85 Bears.
Wow.
Covering
all of my walls.
My dad was so mad at me.
Why?
Who was he a fan of?
No, he's a big Bears fan.
He's in tickets, but he's a painter, and he didn't like
his own
ink.
But
hey, it could have been something else.
It could have been sexy pictures of Tom Cruise in your room ruining the walls.
That probably would have killed him.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
So at least it was his football team.
Right.
So it's kind of his fault, I guess.
Yeah, I think so.
I think it totally is.
So what was it?
Were you just a fan of the Bears or were you caught up in the whole 85 Bears
mania?
And I got the letter from Walter Payton when he was going to retire.
He wrote me a letter before he even told the newspaper or anybody that he wasn't retiring.
That was a big fan of sweetness, though.
So he sent you a letter.
Was it just you as a fan, or had you guys, you know, become friends or pen pals?
I met him at training camp, and I was playing catch with his son, and I didn't even know
it.
You just happened to be playing catch with Walter Peyton's son.
That's pretty amazing.
That little news clipping story of yours really just got dwarfed.
He wrote me back.
Yeah,
pretty cool.
And Walter Peyton of all people.
I know.
He was a very nice guy.
Well, I'm glad you had... You know what?
I was going to say something that first I thought was funny, and then I thought, God, that is the dumbest thing.
I'm glad I stopped myself.
I don't self edit very often, but... I was going to say something like, well, I'm glad you had bears on your walls instead of having bear walls.
See, that's why I didn't say it.
Yeah,
yeah.
I know.
I wasn't gonna say it, but hey, now the mystery's over and you're disgusted.
No, you never discussed me.
You
just tried
me
out.
Good morning,
Mr.
Waters.
How we doing today?
This is a voice from the past somewhere.
Bremer County big man.
How you doing, brother?
You get to your posters on the wall.
I don't think I ever had any.
I was trying to
think.
I had a picture of like dogs playing poker.
Okay, that counts.
And then I had a hand.
A pencil sketching of like a flying bald eagle.
A blind bald eagle?
No, a flying.
Oh, a flying.
Sometimes the phone connection isn't quite what it should be.
All right.
Plus I talk too fast.
Oh, it's okay.
It's okay.
You're excited.
I understand.
Playing poker was the best, though.
Oh, yeah.
Come on.
Everybody should have had that up.
Now I'm thinking I should have had that up, but I didn't.
And that was old.
I think it was like my grandpa's.
The animals I had up on my wall, I had like this pornographic poster of muskrats.
It was a Captain and Tennille poster.
You had to bring muskrat love into this, didn't
you?
Hey, I haven't heard from Trucker Todd.
Trucker Todd, you never called me anymore!
He was always the one who would call about muskrat love, and when you brought up the dogs, you thought of the muskrats, and what would it be like if you had a muskrats makin' love poster that was a Captain and Tennille poster?
And it was, I thought, pornographic muskrats.
Well, I gotta bring that up.
I think that would have made Captain and Sunil even that much bigger back in the day.
See?
Geez.
Brilliant mind.
Do you come up with million-dollar ideas?
If I could have two posters up in my loft right now, it would be a couple of muskrats making love and dogs playing poker.
I don't
know what Mrs. Waters would think about that.
Oh, she'd probably just kind of look down at the floor as she was walking through that particular room.
That's what would happen there.
Am I a pervert if I had two posters on my wall growing
up?
I guess it depends on what those posters were.
I
had a Wonder Woman.
Okay, what was the other one?
Vanity.
Wonder Woman.
I mean, she's a
hero, you know?
She's inspiration.
That doesn't make you a pervert.
Vanity?
What was
Vanity
wearing?
Maybe I need
to ask that before I ask anything else.
A very sleek negligee slash miniskirt.
Yes, you're a pervert.
Thank you.
You're
welcome.
Hi, I'm Mary.
My policy was Alice Cowell.
Who?
Dallas Cowboy
Cheerleaders.
You know, it's funny because you cut out there and it sounded like you were saying Alice Cow.
I went, who's she?
Your next door neighbor, Alice Cow.
She was a member of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
He is missing a girl on that list.
Daisy
Dukes.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, I thank you for... See, this is why I depend on you, the listener, Iron Man.
She was big time.
Awesome.
Those shorts look so good on her, they call them Daisy Dukes.
I mean, oh my god.
Okay, calm down, Iron Man.
Calm down.
What would aluminum girls say?
I mean, when he talked to her about those girls, I mean, come on.
Daisy Duke was on the list.
Oh, well.
She was the opposite of hazard.
Although, she was standing on the street.
Maybe she would be hazardous, because I think there'd be a multiple car pile up.
Yes.
So I guess, yeah.
She'd be
hazardous in that way, but only that way.
Otherwise, yeah.
And when you did hit the car in that multiple pile up, you'd probably go, oopsie, Daisy.
Yep.
That's all.
That's all
I got.
Right.
Well, me and my sister, she was a year younger than me, and we had Bobby Sherman on her side of the wall, and I had David Cassidy on my side of the wall.
We couldn't
eat it that way,
so.
Yeah,
I think Tiger Beat made a lot of money off
of us.
Tiger Beat.
I used to go over to my cousins and my cousin, a girl, and she'd have all Tiger Beats all over the place, and Sean Cassidy up, and Bay City Rollers, you know, that kind of thing.
And you were looking for Susan Day.
Yes.
Every day was Susan Day in my house.
Right.
We even had a neighborhood group where we pretended we were the Parcher's family.
Really?
Did you have every member?
Yeah, the basement.
Yeah, I mean, it was all, it's all a real group, but
you
know, a couple of us were sick to hit, and now it's just a boy member, so.
If you had called me
back then, I had the shagged David Cassidy haircut, so I would have totally come over and would have been glad to be David.
Well, you know, back in the early 90s, I met my husband, and one of the things that attracted me was the David Cassidy cut.
Yeah.
Even when we got a little older,
in the 70s and we thought we were very worldly.
All us girls would think, I think I love you.
Again, search, I think I'm pregnant.
Instead of I think
I love you.
That is pretty funny.
It fits.
Yeah.
The time you put that on there, instead I think I'm pregnant and
it kind of fits.
Yeah.
We did the same thing.
Me and three of my friends, and this was in the 70s when the monkeys was on syndication.
So I was... Saturday mornings, I bet.
No, this was later.
I remember the Saturday morning thing, but then it was syndication.
It was always on in the afternoon, on the weekdays.
So me... Oh, okay.
Yeah, we would pretend to be the monkeys.
I was Mike Nesmith, because my name was Mike, I guess, and I was tall.
That's
an easy man.
Well, if we were good at anything, it was easy things.
If we had gotten together, we could have done a double bill with the Monkeys and the Partridge family.
We
couldn't.
It could have been like a competition.
A battle of the bands.
It's a pretend band.
Oh, boy, what we could have done.
Oh, well.
I think I love you.
I think I'm pregnant.
I think I'm pregnant.
I think I love you first, and then you get pregnant.
It makes sense.
You're going in order.
One should follow the other.
And then there should be one, I think I want a divorce.
Maybe it would be
the next one.
Okay,
Mike Good morning.
How are you man?
What's happening?
What's going on with your bad self?
What's going on with your bad self?
Yeah, yeah, what is going on with your bad self?
Hey, you brought up a great
Great memory.
That is my purpose.
With this poster.
Yeah.
I think this poster came out about the same year you were born, man, but I had it on my wall.
He was...
She was beautiful.
Who is she?
Raquel Welch.
Oh, was it from the 1 million BC or whatever?
That was it.
1 million years BC.
That's the one to have, man.
That's with the bikini and all of that.
Good lord.
Oh, man, you just put a big smile on my face because I
ain't thought about
that one for a while.
Yeah, yeah.
But
man, I would have been like a sophomore in high school life.
That was nuts.
That was your Farrah Fawcett poster.
Because Farrah Fawcett was my Rock L Welch poster,
I think.
I knew Farrah Potter would be yours.
That was about the perfect timing.
It
was when she was on Charlie's Angels and that red, red bathing suit.
It is the, that is the best selling poster of all time.
Still sells.
Oh no, I believe you.
I didn't
have it, but I believe you.
I was
up and gone and beyond and married by then,
sir.
Yeah, well, she, uh, huge in the day.
I mean, the hair, as huge as she was, the hair was
bigger.
Yeah.
Thanks for the memory.
It was beautiful.
You got it.
You got it.
60s Rock Hell Wells, 70s, Farrah Fawcett, 80s, maybe Lonnie Anderson.
Yep, absolutely.
Heather Locklear, Heather Thomas, probably a couple other heathers in there.
I'm going with you there.
Hey, can we request a song?
Can I, can I, can I?
Yeah, huh?
I'm thinking Rocky Mountain Way.
We'll put the Rocky for Rock Hell
Wells.
That's what brought my memory right to it.
Oh, yeah.
We put the pieces together.
And Rocky III came out on this date in 82.
Wow.
Holy crap!
Weekday mornings, 5.30 to
10.
