TuNesDay Tribute to Dr. Johnny Fever

Water's here from the water's wake-up call.

Hey, I had fun playing doctor with you earlier.

Spent the morning paying tribute to Dr. Johnny Fever who would have been 82 yesterday and curing what ails you.

I

hit my head this week and when I fell.

Yeah?

Kind of banged it hard.

I hate when that happens.

Kind of made me mad.

I know it's probably something having to do with your mental health.

Yeah.

You're thinking-

Bang Your Head is probably a good to inscription, but I think that hurts your head even more, because that talks about just continuing to bang your head as a musical doctor.

I just don't think that's the proper way to handle it.

That makes sense.

Really?

Oh, good.

Thanks.

To honor Dr. Johnny Bieber, maybe we could reference his forbidden word that he was fired for in California.

I think so.

I am not allowed to say it, but Johnny will.

How do you

mend a broken heart?

Needle and thread?

No, that seems too easy.

Glue.

Super glue.

Super love glue, maybe.

Hammer and nails.

Bee Gees.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, but I don't think that would work because in the song they're asking the question, how can you mend a broken heart?

If they're asking with the song, then I don't think they have the answer or any idea for a to inscription.

My name is Les, by the way.

Les.

So I'm Dr. Johnny Fever and you're Les Nessman.

Maybe you don't sound like Les Nessman.

You've got a much better radio voice than Les Nessman ever did.

I really like listening to you, man.

I appreciate that.

Usually people who aren't named Les call me and say they'd like to hear me, Les.

Yeah, I need a prescription here, doctor.

Yeah, what, what ails ya?

Being worried sick about my daughter.

So you're worried about your daughter.

Can you talk about why, why you're worried?

Well, um, she's 32 years old and walked through a bunch of medical issues.

But right now the one that is sticking out the mold is that she has a brain tumor and needs to have surgery on it.

coming up in April.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, and I am wishing you the best.

You have all of my positive vibes for April.

I just need our fellow Christians out there.

I need prayers for them.

Well, I'm sure you're getting prayers from all of them as well as me right now.

Well, thank you very, very much.

So you really need a strong to inscription to help with the worry.

That's right.

Well, I think I have the perfect thing for you.

OK, that'd be great, buddy.

Well, good morning, Mr. Patient.

Who is this I am

talking

to?

This is Paul.

What ails you, Patient Paul?

Well, the thing that usually ails me.

Yes.

I don't really need a prescription.

I need a refill.

You'd need a refill?

Well, and I don't do prescriptions.

I do tune-scriptions.

Okay, tune-scriptions.

Okay, so a refill.

First, tell me what the ailment is.

People on drive paves man, driving 40 miles an hour on a highway.

I'm sure that would rattle you a little bit, get you tense.

get you yelling things maybe that you wouldn't normally yell in good company,

right?

I'm just thinking, if you can't drive your car, drive a

yak.

Uh, I'm sorry, drive a what now?

A yak.

A yak?

I haven't seen any

yaks

in Iowa.

Well, there's Buffalo in Midway.

That's exciting.

I like to dedicate a song to the person that's old enough, about 30 people.

Yeah.

I can't drive 55, obviously.

I guess that would be a, a, a to inscription for them.

But I think about it.

Beyond that, I think above and beyond that, you need a toonscription for anger and frustration from dealing with these fools as you attempt to get to work.

Oh, we're all trying to get to work on time.

Yes, we are.

So I'll get them the toonscription so hopefully they can go to at least the speed limit or close to it.

And I'll have a completely different one for what's alien you this morning.

All right, I appreciate it.

Well, good morning, Mr. Waters.

How you been?

Big man from Bremer.

County how are you been a while

I

know how it is living off the grid that kind of thing living off the land sure

did

you say covert or co vid liquid oh I got you what is alien you yet some alien you that got you to call for the first time in weeks

remember I live with five women so I like my

foot

So you probably don't even need to say what ails you.

I think I know.

I

know it.

You know what?

I kind of missed

you.

I missed you too.

I'm sitting here every day, every morning thinking, you know, how long has it been?

Because I make these little marks on the wall of days that go by without the big man of Bremer County calling me.

Or Bremer County big man.

See, I even forgot your name.

That's how long it's been.

I'm screwing your name up.

Bremer County big man.

He

got everything.

That's

right.

I like to mix and match a little bit.

You know, keep things fresh.

That's right.

Yeah.

So you live with five women.

That's gotta be... Now, is this your wife and three daughters?

Or four daughters?

Is it your wife, your mistress, and three daughters?

I wish

I had them.

Yeah?

Well, me?

That's gotta take a lot out of you.

That's gotta be taxing.

Yeah.

Coming from a guy who lives with well enough women, one, I can't even imagine.

Five.

It's

testing.

Yeah, it's testing.

Testing one, two, three, testing.

I can't imagine.

Well, I'll tell you what man.

I'll tell you what I I've got to put my thought processes in I am gonna come up with a really good to inscription personally tailored to your ailments

I'm

doing pretty good there D man.

How are you?

Yeah, crazy dream bad dream nightmare.

I saw somebody I hadn't seen in eight years

Wow, who is this we're talking about?

My daughter.

Your daughters?

Oh man.

So you have daughters you haven't seen in eight years?

Yeah.

Why can't you see your daughters?

Because the ex keeps telling me they're busy every time I go down and see them.

They've been busy for eight years?

That's why I am so excited.

I saw them last night.

I'll bet.

Oh my gosh.

That's sad you haven't seen him in eight years, man.

That's got to change.

Oh, and I think it's going to.

Good.

I think it's going to.

Get on that, bro.

I just had to tell you, I am so high up in the clouds that I just have to tell you that and I need the toonscription to keep me up there.

Well, you called the right man for that.

Don't bring me down.

Maybe.

But you know, here's the thing.

Doctors can't let you write your own prescriptions and I can't let you write your own toonscriptions.

I'm the doctor.

You don't know nothing.

I have the education.

I went to college.

I've got I have got a PhD in tunes and Actually, there's a double major tunes and dopey DJ isn't I'm the doc.

I'm the patient.

I'm the patient.

Well, I'm

being very

patient at the moment D man I'll tell you and I just need someone to help me keep up there.

I only know that song I want something else is gonna work

Yeah, well, I'll have something for you that will not bring you down as we talk about a dream

of seeing your kids for the first time in eight years, I've got to put all of that in mind, man, and then play your, uh, to inscription for you.

So... I want to hear it.

You will.

And I don't know, it might be, don't bring me down, but I got to think about it.

If I come up with something I think is better, I'm the doctor, I have to play it for your own good.

You

know

the best.

Weekday mornings, 5.30 to
