Waters here from the Waters Wake Up Call.

Since it was National Doctors' Day and Throwback Thursday, I asked you who your favorite 70s and 80s TV doctors were.

Who's your favorite?

I don't really have a favorite.

That's awesome.

Most people say

Hawkeye.

Oh,

me too.

They all had their special thing.

Even Frank Burns.

I loved Frank Burns, even though he was such a weasel.

Or I should say Ferret Face.

Love that little Ferret Face, I really do.

Yeah.

I love that answer.

Not a TV doctor, but a rock and roll doctor.

Some people would say that's even better.

Yeah.

And it's funny you call about Dr. Hook.

51 years ago today, they got their picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone and probably bought all those copies for their mothers too.

Really?

You can't celebrate Doctor's Day without Noah Drake.

I've been waiting for somebody to say Dr. Noah Drake.

I wonder if it's the 60th anniversary of General Hospital.

Oh, is it?

I didn't know that.

There's

a

what?

I wonder if they'll be performing at the nurses ball.

Oh, the nurses ball?

Yes, I'm General Hospital.

I think that would be a good idea.

I think it'd be good to bring Dr. Noah Drake back.

Yes.

Has he come back at all since he left in the 80s?

Yeah, he was on a few years ago.

I think it was during their 50s.

Hey, Mr. Mike, how's it

going?

T-Man, I'm doing pretty good, man.

How are you doing?

Oh, doctors, they're just driving me nuts.

Yeah, how are they driving you nuts?

Oh, they've...

Hit me so long in my life, I just break it out, might as well tell ya.

Yeah,

okay.

Back when I was younger, she took me to the doctor and told me I was cured.

That didn't work out, so I had to find a new drug.

Okay.

And then that didn't really cure me, so I found some Dr. Feelgood.

He did really well.

I think you've now confused me because are we talking three different songs here?

So far.

Okay, so far.

Okay, well, what's next?

My mom, she liked this soap opera and as a doctor, Noah Drake.

Yes, I know of the doctor you speak

of.

So there's just been all kinds of doctors that I've had to deal with all my life and I thought,

Man, I better tell this guy.

He might be the Doctor of Rock and Roll that might be able to cure this.

Doctor Waters, they call me.

You know, I'm not a real doctor, but I play one on the radio.

All right, well, I'll be listening for you.

Still want to talk about one of my favorite doctors?

Yes.

Can you possibly guess who that could be?

They've

made movies about him.

Bill

Murray, hit, hit, hit.

Bill Murray played him in one movie.

Oh, you're a... Come on.

Rolling Stone, Crazy Gonzo.

Dr. S. Thompson.

Yeah.

Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.

Yes, very nice.

I like the Bill Murray one with Peter Boyle.

Oh, he was fantastic.

Yeah, yeah, it was great.

That was a good one.

I liked that better than the Johnny Depp to tell you the truth.

Yeah.

Johnny Depp did a good job, but it just didn't have the feel for it like Bill Murray.

Yeah, Bill hung out with with Hunter quite a bit.

So

yeah, I did tell his wife threatened to divorce him unless Hunter leaves or she leaves.

He was nuts.

I remember he was on with Letterman one time in the 80s and it was when David Letterman was doing doing a show from an airport.

I don't know why he was at the airport.

Sometimes he just did weird things.

So Hunter was on the airport Letterman.

Yeah,

I remember that.

How can you forget Dr.

Quinn?

Oh, yes, medical, what was it, medical woman?

Medicine woman.

Medicine?

I knew medical woman sounded wrong.

Dr. Quinn, medical woman.

She was

always a good one.

Yeah, I almost called her Dr. Quinn Eskimo woman.

But you never know.

Well, there's a song called Quinn the Eskimo, so...

Yeah,

and I watched every week because I always wanted to see more.

He's one of my favorite doctors.

He couldn't cure you, but he could do a lot for your psyche.

I am the Dr. Fever apprentice.

Every once in a while, I'll say...

fellow babies that's right fellow babies it's like we're all babies you know what i'm saying baby fellow babies absolutely all right remember booger weekday mornings 5 30 to
