THROWBACK THURSDAY: CATCHPHRASES

Hey, it's waters from the waters wake up call and this throwback snow back Thursday morning.

We were talking about catchphrases

Oh

Not too bad just watching the snow cover the parking lot, you

know

That's why we have throwback Thursday.

Yeah, I thought we'd go back to July sometime in the 70s.

Oh, I like

that.

Here you go.

All right.

Who loves you, baby?

Kojak does.

And so do I. Although I don't have any lollipops at home, I have the bald head and I just have popsicles.

So that's my Kojak thing is the popsicle.

Oh man, that is mine too.

So holla notes, do you have a favorite 70s catchphrase?

You are a meathead.

So, uh...

Or how about dynamite?

I think this, uh, you are a

meathead.

You're either a meathead or...

Dynamite!

One of the two.

I think that's what you were back in the 70s.

I'm actually a dynamite meathead.

You are a dynamite meathead.

I'll bet if we ever got together and partied... We are!

To wild and crazy to go!

That's right!

Yeah, but we'd probably get in a lot of trouble and somebody would come along and Yeah, we'd probably get booked.

Yes, probably right

Yeah, and then we'd go and see the judge then judges name would be Johnny and the bailiff would introduce him See how I've told a little story and catch phrases

This is in the category of what was

Yeah.

And I've

noticed that it's not like it used to be.

Right on!

Now it's like, right on.

Right on went from great to

okay, right on.

Was it?

Far out.

Far

out.

That was it.

That's far out and funky, man.

You are totally taking me on a time trip now.

Right on.

Right on.

Well, I'll leave you with the catchphrase of the day.

Enjoy the snow.

Well, beware of these big, fluffy flicks that are coming down out of the sky.

Yeah, it's almost like a Waters Family reunion.

More flakes, though.

Now, this guy brought up a great question and asked about the happy days catchphrase.

What were they telling people to sit on?

Sit on it?

What is on what?

Right?

I mean, I remember them saying that all the time, but I don't know what they were

supposed to sit on.

Yeah, I don't either.

Let me look here.

I think maybe you are the first to ask this question.

And it's such a heavy question, man.

I know,

and it's awful early.

And I have another question.

Where's the beat?

Clara Peller.

I

think

it started.

She was like a rock star after that.

Oh my gosh.

She was like cute.

I know, I know.

So she was everywhere, she was on talk shows, and then she started hocking another burger without telling Wendy's, and Wendy's fired her.

And then she was just gone.

I remember they made T-shirts that said that and everything.

Oh yeah, it was a whole merchandise campaign.

Wendy's probably sold a trillion burgers just from Clara Peller and Where's the Beef.

Yes.

Yeah.

I was just wondering what they were supposed to sit on on Happy Days.

Maybe they were supposed to sit on the beef.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe.

Clara Peller certainly learned a lesson when she got into a beef with Wendy's.

Well, she made enough money off Wendy's before they fired her.

I'm sure she was fine.

Oh, I'm sure.

And she didn't have many years to spend it, so I think she was fine.

That's true.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, you have a good day, Miss Waters.

The president says he's like a fox, but I say it's dino-mite.

Dino-mite is your favorite catchphrase.

What was his again?

He's like a fox.

She's like a fox?

Yeah, look at that fox.

Maybe he meant the term foxes was used all over pop culture in the 70s.

Yeah,

but I say it's dino-mite.

Can you say it like JJ?

It's dino-mite.

Very nice.

Have a good morning.

You too.

You have a dino-mite morning.

Yes.

Yeah.

Groovy, baby.

Groovy, baby.

Right on.

I'm truckin'.

Gag me with a spoon.
