they make coconut for

That would be an angelic

mountain there.

That would, wouldn't it?

Such a sound would come from there.

Right, so you like the ladies, music-wise and vocal-wise.

I do.

Yeah.

That's cool.

I think, you know, if I was to put a female Mount Rushmore, just exclusively ladies, I'd probably have Stevie Nicks, Janice Joplin, Pat Benatar, and boy, who else?

Gray slick, maybe.

Yeah.

Those are two fine lady mountains.

That's right.

Did

you say

that on the radio?

I don't know.

Well, you just did.

Yeah, I did.

So what are you gonna do?

It's out there.

Good morning.

Well, good morning to you.

I love having you sing like that in the morning.

Yeah, I don't sing like that very often.

This is my fake singer voice.

I'll take it.

Yeah, put me on your Mount Rushmore, will ya?

Yes, I will.

But

I do have my Mount Rushmore.

Let's hear it.

Blondie.

Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah.

Janice Joplin, she's gotta be a fan of mine.

What a voice.

My Tina Turner.

Another great voice.

And great footage would have to be on

there.

So that's probably why I would never go on your Mount Rushmore because I'm a guy.

Even though you love my singing more than anything else, I could never probably take the place of

Janice or Grace or Debbie.

Those ladies are golden.

The golden girls will call them.

Yeah.

Can I ask a dumb question?

Better than anyone I know.

Good

morning, Mr. Waters.

Good morning, good morning.

How are you?

I'm doing well.

Fantastic.

I was listening to what you guys are talking about.

Yeah,

and I got three so far.

Okay.

Well, I'll take three.

Janice Joblin.

Just heard from Janice.

Absolutely.

Aretha.

Oh, true Queen of Soul.

And Heart.

Yeah, Heart's pretty awesome.

You picked my fourth one for me.

Let's see.

Because I know you've requested some things before.

Yes.

Rolling Stones?

Okay.

Because I think you did request the Rolling Stones at one point.

Yes.

I would like to request another Rolling Stones.

Alright.

Alright.

Which one?

Start me up.

Start me up.

Okay.

Have you been getting, having some trouble starting this morning?

I'm sliding around Waterloo right now, so it's not too bad.

Okay.

Good.

Well, just be safe, okay?

right on man so when you talk sled what are we talking about we're talking about a snowmobile like a toboggan style

Is it like the, uh, the Citizen Kane Rosebud style?

What is it exactly?

Describe it to

me.

Okay.

Yeah,

those are the ones, man.

Those, those are awesome.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

I kind of like the toboggan's though too.

Those really freaking

flu.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Maybe we'll have enough snow on the ground by Thanksgiving to actually go truly sledding.

All right.

Well, I'll meet you guys at the big hill once we get enough snow and then we'll, uh, we'll slide around.

That sounds like fun to me.
