Throwback Thanks Thursday Giving

Who used all the Wi-Fi?

Ah, apartment life.

Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.

Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.

Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station apartments.

Furnished, in-unit washer and dryer.

Internet included.

A great central downtown location.

One to five bedroom apartments.

And no double occupancy fees.

That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.

Union Station apartments.

Now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.

Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?

the

water's wake up call had a blast this Wanda Wednesday listening to you doing the tongue twisters.

You ready?

I am.

to the successful sister.

Good

lord.

I

learned that when I was seven years old.

Did it beautifully.

You learn all these passwords and forget them, but I can remember that.

I

know the memory is a weird complicated thing But I'm sure it had to do with the fact that you wanted to learn it and you were really paying attention when you first heard it So it's easier to recall but and I was probably five or six and I had a Sesame Street record Big Bird did the song about the ABC's Ab Kadevky, Jekyll, Monop,

or Stewart Hooks is

Yeah, Ab Kadevky, Jekyll, Monop, or Stewart Hooks is

and I can yeah

and I got a couple of text tongue twister challenges first one let's try this a big black bug bit the big black bear and the big black bear bled blood I've never heard that one before all right now there's now there's a dangerous one here that somebody is challenging me so okay okay let me I'm warming up here okay

I sit upon the fitted sheet upon the f***ing feet I sit.

Alright hang on let me try that again.

I sit upon the s*** feet- oh let me start that over.

I s*** upon- oh hold on a second let me start again.

I sit upon the fitted sheet upon the s***

Oh, this is getting frustrating.

All right, let's try it again.

I sit upon the fitted sheet upon the fitted.

I can't do it.

I'm going to try one more time and then I'm done.

I sit upon the fitted sheet upon the fitted sheet.

I sit.

Yes.

One way or another, I knew I was going to get that.

Have you ever heard of the drinking game, how to become a turtle?

How to become a turtle?

Yeah, it's a drinking game.

It's kind of 10 tongue twisters.

And every time you make a mistake, you have to drink as many sips as the mission.

the number that you're

on.

Okay,

I've never heard of

that drinking game.

I would text it to you because it takes a long time to talk about it on the radio.

Yeah.

But you can get pretty messed up on this one.

I suppose.

Well, what I'll do is every time I screw up, I'll just have another sip of coffee.

That'll work great for me.

We'll be wired.

I know, I know.

That's what I'm hoping for.

All

right.

You know, it would be tough to do tongue twisters when you're all wired and you're all, you know, just kind of have this crazy energy going.

Uh...

Uh, seven.

Was that a trivia

question or a tongue twister?

That was a tongue

twister.

Oh, that's a classic right there, you know?

That is.

I figured someone probably already called and they're not ready, but I thought I'd

try.

Well, I think you did a fine job and, you know, Bill Murray does a mean version of how much wood could a woodchuck chuck.

Does he?

Yeah, check it out.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

That's common knowledge.

You never know what's going to happen on Wandom Wednesday.

Michael,

I just thank you for what you do in the morning.

You put a bigger smile on everyone's face.

Well, thanks,

man.

I hope that's true.

I'm sure not everyone's, but thanks for that.

I'm out there.

I'm listening.

You are out there.

The only people you ever

call me are a little out there.

And think about this for a Friday, a forgiveness Friday.

People can call in and reveal that.

Yeah,

we could have like a forgiving Friday and I would take people's confessions I could be I'll have to come up with a different name for priests because obviously I'm no priest

Wasn't

that the missionary

position?

morning's 5 30 to

10.

Yo, Waters here from the Waters Wake Up Call had a lot of fun with you this morning for Throwback Thursday, and I learned a little something about Iowa.

What happened in September of 1985 that was important here in

Iowa?

Huh, yeah, I don't know.

High 380 was opened up between Waterloo and Peter Rabbit.

Really?

I had no idea.

Yes.

So 380 in 85.

Yes.

They should have called it 385.

Yes, they should have.

That would have been my suggestion if I'd been at the meeting.

That's interesting, though.

I had no idea.

I'm on 380 all the time, and now I know a little something about it.

Oh, I know it.

Yep.

Otherwise, you had to go through Independence and come down 151 or go through the port.

It was a long way around.

Yeah.

So it probably took, what, eight hours to get from Cedar Rapids to Waterloo?

It's food

life.

Love yourself.

Thanks,

man.

Talking 80s.

The only thing that ever comes to mind is that we are the world.

That's a good holiday tune, too.

It is, man.

And I think they need to do an update version of it.

Yeah,

kind of a yesterday and today version of it.

That

is a great idea.

I mean, it made so much money in the 80s when they released it.

Why not do it again?

You should call some people.

That's what you should do.

Yeah, call Quincy Jones.

Quincy Jones is still alive and he had a big hand in it.

So call Quincy Jones and see what he

says.

There you go.

Tell him Waters says hi.

He'll know who you're talking about.

All right, Wilbur.

Mike, how you doing?

I'm doing pretty good.

How are you doing?

I'm in Cedar Rapids.

Sitting in a crane watching everybody else work.

It's like me.

I always say, you know, I am employed, but I wouldn't call it working.

Yes, sir.

What do you have to have after every Thanksgiving meal?

A slice of pie?

How about some American pie?

You know what?

I was even thinking about that.

My mouth is watering already.

What's your pie?

What's your post Thanksgiving dinner pie dessert?

I've got two of them coming from Cassie's pie.

I've got a chocolate cream and a...

Uh, strawberry rhubarb crisp.

Good morning.

How are you?

I am good.

How are you?

Peachy.

And I will even be better tonight.

Why tonight will you be better?

Because the eagle.

Oh, of course.

Yeah, my kids gave it to me for my birthday.

Oh, that's very nice.

So you must love the eagles then.

Yeah, this will make number six.

Number six.

When was the first time you saw him?

Oh, God.

I think

it was in Ames.

In Ames?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

What what was the tour?

Do you remember what tour it was?

I'd have to go look at the t-shirts.

It's cool.

You still have the t-shirts.

That's pretty amazing.

I've

seen them there.

Moline, Walsh Fargo, the Walsh at Riverside.

That's awesome.

So what what song are you really hoping to hear?

Well, Desperado, but it's not on the Hotel California album.

No, but I think they're playing Hotel California and then like a Greatest Hits.

All right.

Good.

This is Mi Ma Debbie.

Mi Ma Debbie.

Well, it's good to hear from you, Meemaw and Debbie.

All right, have a great day.

Hey, you too, Meemaw and Debbie.

Thanks for calling and have fun tonight and give me a phone reward if you can.

We'll do.

Water's here from the water's wake up call since the holidays are so close.

I thought this morning we could talk about some of those things that people say when they hate a gift, but they don't want to come right out and say it.

You know, things like, wow, you really shouldn't have.

And that basically means you really shouldn't have or, oh, I just have to know where you got this, meaning they want to know where to return.

and get money.

Give us an example, Carrie from Dicert.

My mother was famous for saying, well, isn't that different?

That's different from anything I ever thought anybody would make and sell.

This is awful.

It's like a backhanded compliment.

It's in that same category.

Yep.

Hey, you know what?

You're not as fat as you look on television, you know, like that.

That's one

of those.

Actually, you look like, oh, look at me.

over there isn't she just adorable yeah it's so

cute yeah you know that's not miss piggy that's my sister

But I'm

glad you think she's cute

You actually know a guy who said that oh, yeah Wow, what are the what did the gift giver think?

Oh I'd love to see a picture of that hat It's kind of like the Rodney Dangerfield scene in Caddyshack

Oh, yeah.

The way you get that, you get a free bowl of soup.

Looks good on you, though.

Looks good on you.

Yeah.
