Christmas Traditions

The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Tue Dec 13, 2022

Hey, it's waters from the waters wakeup call.

This morning we were finishing this statement.

It ain't Christmas or the holidays unless this tradition happens.

We get up in the morning and there's all the presents and everybody's all really, really excited and we just can't hardly wait.

But everybody has to eat breakfast first and it just makes it last that much longer.

Do you do this as well when you're done eating?

Everybody has to help clean up and then it'll go faster.

You can really get people to help you.

You know, the faster we get this cleaned up, the quicker we'll be able to go and open the presents.

I like your idea, but I get excited, too.

That's why I don't have anybody help me because I want to go, too.

Oh, OK.

So what you do is you eat breakfast, and then you go open the presents, and then you clean up.

Yep.

You open the presents, and then you think, oh, well, now I have to clean up.

That stinks.

Let's say Carrie gets a nice present of Legos.

Then you can just go play with your Legos.

and you don't have to wait for anything.

Merry Christmas, let's go!

We have a tradition that has been baked for about eight years now.

Okay.

No matter what time of the day, we have a homemade two-order breakfast.

And my wife and I make it up, and I mean, you can get anything in it.

We just bought an air fryer, we bought a new microwave, and then we have this food processor.

Yeah, so it's a breakfast tradition.

Yeah, so made to order breakfast

No matter

it's from Nana's kitchen from Nana's kitchen.

So what is it?

What is the

big what is Nana's special dish from from this?

Okay

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's good.

It's got all kinds of stuff.

And then it's topped with two over easy eggs.

It makes almost like a syrup

on

top of the meat.

We'll have salmon there.

We'll have sausage, roast beef.

Sometimes we put chicken in there too.

They basically tell us what they want and we got it in there.

And then there's people like me and my son and my grandson.

We're cheesy.

We like a lot.

I like a little bit of food with my cheese, OK?

I'm a DJ.

I mean, I like everything with mounds of cheese.

Lots of cheese, man.

No, you stop it with all the talk of food.

You're making my tummy rumble, and I'm drooling so much I could join the Salivation

Army.

a child Christmas in Wales.

I've heard of

it.

I just absolutely love it.

It's actually a poem that... Is it Dylan Thomas?

Yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Every Christmas Eve, I watch it.

Hey, you know, since that tradition didn't work out with your kids, does this kid in Wales

have a good tradition that you can steal?

He did with his granddad.

It's his granddad telling him the story of when he was a boy in Wales.

Did his grandpa have a good tradition in Wales?

They threw snowballs at Kat and they pretended that there were three boys under the bad guys in the neighborhood.

Right, right.

And then when it was time to come in...

Yeah.

Compared

to what my uncle does, you know, or did during

the

holidays, that's pretty

wholesome.

That

sounds like a beautiful Christmas.

It's not Christmas until somebody screams

Okay

well you know it does if I'm looking for wholesome I guess getting drunk and singing and and smoking and you know probably in the 1800 like I say compared to my uncle by the way I usually dedicate Leonard Skinner to him because he only makes three it makes it three steps of a 12-step

program

Yeah, that's

it.

That's right.

Monday morning, we were also talking about the new smart toilet.

These scientists who have unveiled a high-tech toilet that detects disease by monitoring your doo-doo.

And I gotta tell you, they gave it a really crappy name.

Sorry, I had to.

But they're calling it the diarrhea detector.

Can't we come up with a better name, like Ithrone or the Log Whisperer, maybe?

Hey, how about IBM?

I think that's what we go with.

How about you

and

I read they're thinking about having Alexa be the voice and I'm thinking there's no way I want some strange girl or guy for that matter inside the toilet when I'm going critiquing There's already a lot of critiquing going on outside the door from Mrs. Waters.

I don't need Alexa

in the toilet

I

guess my technique and what's what's dropping could be the same

thing

Hey, good morning, Mr. Waters.

Good morning, Mr. Bruce.

What

you

got for me today?

I came across a really delightful story yesterday on Facebook about the Kanye West holding a charity basketball game with a bunch of handicapped kids.

I saw that, too.

He beat him by 90 points.

Yeah, he kept scoring on these handicapped kids.

He kept scoring on these handicapped kids in wheelchairs.

What an

idiot.

I know my daughter thinks they should all just gang up on him and run him under with her.

You

know,

I didn't take

him before, but now it's like, okay, what a dope.

You know, I'm looking at this meme now, and I just wonder if it's true.

Not that I'd be defending the guy, but I'm just curious, because you see so much misinformation.

But let's see how legitimate that post was with another edition of... Lord's Bulls***.

So I am on snopes.com which is a pretty reliable fact-checking site and I usually do check like three or four just to make sure but apparently this story about Kanye West was published on September 17th 2014 and I'm just quoting here the now defunct daily current website published an article posting that rapper Kanye West had scored 106 points in a charity basketball game against a team of children in wheelchairs so the actual

Most.

reads, and again I'm quoting, a charity basketball game didn't go exactly as planned yesterday when Kanye West scored 106 points against a team of handicapped children in wheelchairs.

The basketball wheelchair charity for cancer even pitted disabled middle school children against Kanye and his entourage.

It goes on to say that they scored 106 points off these kids, but here's what Snopes says, and they found out that this website, The Daily Current, is a

satirical newspaper that is no longer exists and Snopes asks the creators of this website are your news stories real and they say no our stories are purely fictional however they are meant to address real-world issues through satire and often refer and link to real events happening in the world did you say oh

I concur.

I never think anything is true until I check, like, three or four sources.

You know?

That's sad.

That's sad.

OMG, so sad.

Weekday mornings, 5.30 to

10.
