WORK DREAMS/NIGHTMARES

The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Sat Mar 4, 2023

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?

apartment?

Hey, it's waters from the waters wake up call this morning.

We were talking about those bad work dreams where nothing goes, right?

Good morning, Mike.

How are you?

Well, Carrie from dice shirt?

I'm good.

How are you?

What's up with you?

I

don't know really what's going on today because I just got everything turned on.

So what's

up

today?

We're talking about dreams.

I'm playing Siegmund Freud.

Actually, we're talking about work failure dreams.

Like I was talking about, you know, being

in radio like the DJ work dream is never having something prepared.

Like you're playing a song and there's always like four or five seconds left of the song.

And time is running out and you don't know what you're gonna do.

You're totally unprepared.

And then the scariest thing ever for a DJ happens.

And do you know what that is, Gary from Dicert?

Nothing

works.

In fact, I'm gonna write a I'm gonna write a horror movie about being in radio and call it dead air

Well, you know what what you mind as well because there's a cocaine bear movie out Yeah, that's just like a hot mess, you know, I

wonder if that came from a zookeepers work failure dream I'm thinking it could be a zookeeper who's you know, it's after hours and trying to take care of the animals and everything's going okay and somehow a bear gets gets cocaine and

breaks out of the jail and is terrorizing the city.

And it's your responsibility to go capture them.

First off, what is the zookeeper doing with cocaine?

And second off, you're going to get fired anyways because you had

drugs.

I'm thinking that the zookeeper who's having this dream, the cocaine just appeared because that's what happens in dreams.

Maybe somebody tossed it in there earlier, you know, and they were off with a family tour of the zoo.

And they had cocaine and think, oh, I got my kids here.

I should probably get rid of them.

this cocaine and tosses it over the fence and then the bear gets a hold of it and I guess finds it maybe after hours and does the cocaine and then breaks out and terrorizes the entire entire city wow yeah you are good I think that could be maybe the next cocaine bear

Cocaine Bear 2.

Yeah, Cocaine

Bear

2.

Maybe I could be a big time producer.

There you go.

There it is.

Look what we have talked about in the last, like, three minutes.

I know.

Cocaine Bear sequel.

It's made a ton of money last week and probably will again this weekend.

I don't know which studio produced that, but I'm going to call them and say, hey, Cocaine Bear 2 at the zoo.

Or maybe it could be another animal.

Planet of the Cocaine

Apes.

No, Cocaine Panther.

Cocaine Panther?

Yeah, or Cocaine Tiger King.

I think he was on Cocaine anyway.

That's another story altogether.

Oh, that was good, Mike.

I'm gonna get that Carol Baskin.

I'm gonna get that Carol

Baskin.

I'm gonna get that Carol Baskin.

I'm gonna kill

her.

You know, it could be really just almost sound like Ross Perot, if you remember who Ross Perot was.

Yes, I do.

Yes, I do.

Talk like this.

You know, just...

When you played blue oyster cult this morning,

yeah,

it reminded me of a job I used to have waitressing like fancy restaurants Okay, and there was a radio in the kitchen and we were just planned just planned

yeah

completely it was terrible in a way and That song was playing and the chef just started singing.

I'm burning.

I'm burning.

I'm burning your food It was a great stress release.

Oh, that's great

everyone

Yeah.

Because we all knew we were gonna sit in the weeds, you know?

Right.

You go, oh, we can't catch up.

Totally overwhelmed.

It triggered my

dream.

Yeah.

My dream about restaurant working is I just, my legs are frozen.

Like I can't move.

And I have all these tables, like white tablecloth, fancy, and

I

can't move.

So you know you're not gonna get any tips?

Plus, you can't move.

So what's up with that?

Maybe I should go see somebody about this.

I don't

know.

I don't either.

It

wasn't a pleasant dream.

I'll bet.

No.

It sounds like it's work dreams are the worst because you never want to be caught Failing at a job caught with your pants pants down and maybe even literally with your pants down

Because

that's a dream a lot of times.

Sure,

maybe so.

That's a great one.

The restaurant, especially, I can't imagine.

They didn't let me in a fancy restaurant.

I just did some nickel and dime Italian place, but I can imagine being in a fancy place.

It's like, you're really pressured to do well.

Oh

yeah, you have to be on your

toes a

bit.

Yeah.

But you know, when the chef is singing, I'm burning, I'm burning your

food

in the kitchen, you know, you're kind of rude a little bit.

And I'm sure you all laughed even harder than you would normally because it was just...

of that pent-up tension just let out.

Like, well, it'll be ready to leave,

right?

Yep, exactly.

Mr. Waters!

Woody Woodrow Wilson!

Your topic for the day.

How

come it

has to be a negative?

Hey, you can share a nice dream, too.

I ain't stopping you.

I had the coolest dream you could ever have last week.

Well, we're waiting

John Lennon and Paul McCartney showed up at my door

Wow,

and we were talking about music and world events and life and then you know Paul said hey I got to go finish working on this album So he left and minutes after he left John Wayne shows up and John Wayne is hanging out with John Lennon and they're getting along and it's like nothing negative is coming up politics or anti-war nothing.

It was really cool then

John Wayne leaves after a bit, and he kind of saunders off down the road, and the last part of the dream is, you know, John's hanging out, talking about life, and then he looks down at his feet, and he goes, you know, it was sad when George died, and it's like, wow, because you died before George did.

Right.

You know, to have those three personalities in a dream was like...

You know, the trifecta.

Yeah.

Well, John Wayne, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, that's quite the combination.

And politically, I'm glad they didn't discuss politics, because I'm sure they would have disagreed immensely.

No, they were talking about, you know, things they liked.

That's very cool.

My coolest Beatles dream, it was, and it was really weird.

It was like a time travel dream.

So I was like 1964 when Beatlemania was going on and other news reporters.

We're back in time as well from the future because we all had cell phones and and then we were kind of mingling with these people 1964 people and we were just you know sitting on the couch and chatting with the Beatles and they they looked like they did in 1964 the mop tops and and the suits and all of that I remember Paul being just nicest guy Yeah, but John being a little bit caustic, you know He was always a little bit that biting sarcasm that he had and I didn't quite feel comfortable

with John Lennon, which sucks, because, I mean, I love John Lennon.

But it was still very cool.

And then we were all going to get back and go back to the future.

I don't know how we got there or got back.

But I couldn't find my phone.

So I'm there.

And John and Paul see me coming back.

Oh, I thought, I thought you guys were going to take off.

And I've left my phone.

So I'm searching the couch.

Can't find my phone anywhere.

And I'm trying to get back home to Mrs.

who was trying to call me.

Apparently you can call people in the past with all of this weird stuff going on, but I couldn't get ahold of her, couldn't find my phone, and then I woke up.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

John was, yeah, his normal attitude self when he was there, but he was sociable.

Are you a

psycho-socologist?

person.

A psychosociologist?

Do you read into what dreams are?

Well, I was just saying, I think dreams are really cool.

And the study of it is onyrology.

And I am kind of the 21st century answer to Sigmund Freud.

So okay,

James, go on when I close my eyes, and I just don't know what's going on.

Sometimes I just reach higher and higher.

And I try to just, you know, dream weeds through all this.

Well,

it sounds like at least you're having the right dream, the Gary Wright dream instead of the Gary wrong dream.

That's good.

Need your help.

Well, tell me the dream.

The Vikings are in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

What?

Like this Sunday in your dream?

Yeah.

Who are they playing?

They are playing

the Bills again.

So Vikings playing the Bills in the Super Bowl this Sunday.

What do I think about that?

What do I?

What's that dream telling me?

Well, I think that dream is telling you two things.

Number one, you're a frustrated Vikings fan, which I can relate to because they just can't seem to get it together and go to the big show and do it all.

There's that and then I also think maybe there are troubles with your finances and they're playing in your head a little bit.

Any troubles with the finances?

Yours?

I don't know.

No, yours.

Yours.

This is your dream.

No trouble with finances.

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know.

Playing the bills.

The Vikings in the Super Bowl, I'm sure they're having trouble playing the bills, and I think that means that you're having trouble paying your bills.

Oh, okay.

I think of a marked

plan.

You know, I think in another life I was.

I was Freud the barber, or Pink Freud.

No.

I was gonna say, did you say Freud?

Oh, yeah, baby.

Oh,

Andy.

Oh, Obi, Obi's such a good boy.

There we go.

Weekday mornings, 5.30 to

10.
