Morning Meltdown: TuNesDay Work TuNes!

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?

Hey!

It's Mike Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.

Hey, thanks for tuning in.

I know it was tough.

It's just a tough day, the first day back after a long weekend.

Three days off, you forget what you're doing.

I mean, I almost forget how to play tunes, and that's easy, so I can't imagine what you go through after a long weekend.

But I know it's my responsibility to get you out of bed, get you motivated, get you back into the work week, even though it's after a long weekend, and it's only a four-day work week.

So that's that's the good news But it's my job and it's a tougher job after a long weekend to get you up get you going get you motivated So I thought I'd take advantage of tunes day and we talk about songs to inspire you to get up and work and move you right along So that's what tunes day was all about this morning and we'll be hearing from some folks here in a in just a few minutes But of course along with that I've got your five things.

You didn't know you needed to hear the hit-and-run headlines the

right side we got to start the day off with the bright side so that's coming up but first of all I know for instance you're not crazy about coming back to work right

Ain't it though?

So where you working today?

380.

As in the I?

Interstate 380.

So you're doing some construction, I assume.

Yeah.

Hey, you know, I know you guys don't get this enough, but thank you for what you're doing.

Thank you.

We get the fingers a lot.

Well, you know, and this is what drives me crazy.

Everybody wants better roads, but if you're driving along and you actually see it happening and it gets in your way where maybe you'll lose like five minutes or something, you know, getting to where you need to go.

go nuts so come on cool it huh sometimes it can be pretty bad yeah I'll bet that was a hunk of gratitude right there okay well you should have kept the mystery going but that's fine well thank you for that and keep it in mind when you're going through a construction zone to slow down and there are actual

people working working there with families and and just trying to make a living that's all any of us are really trying to do so keep the road construction workers in mind as you're driving through don't get angry don't go speeding through you probably don't need a dopey DJ to tell you that but that's uh that I felt like getting that out anyway all right from that I I think we should go

Boom, right into the bright side.

Let's look on the bright side with Mike Waters on 105.7

KOKZ.

Sponsored by Wong Collision Center.

Gotta give it up for this California guy.

If a bank robbery is taking place, how would you think you'd stop the bank robber?

Gun?

You know, shooting the guy?

That would probably take care of it.

But what about a hug?

I know you're probably thinking, eh, that won't work.

Not in today's society.

Are you kidding?

Well, this California man being called a hero after he stopped this bank robbery by talking to the guy and hugging him.

You have Michael Armus Sr.

and he recognized the accused, Eduardo Placencia, in the middle of the robbery.

So he recognizes the bank robber.

and starts talking to him, just talking to him like a human being, and was able to talk this guy down from the situation.

He got him outside, he gave him a hug, and easy as that.

I know, it seems crazy.

You know, the guy steals a hug and ends a bank robbery.

That's pretty amazing.

Whether he knew the guy or not, it's pretty amazing.

So this is Michael explaining exactly what

happened.

So he put himself in the bank robbers place, Eduardo's place, and just talked to the guy like a human being and ended what could have been a violent, tragic crime.

So way to go, Michael Armist Senior, and here's hoping that Eduardo Placencia gets the help he needs and all goes well.

Let's hope.

You know, it's the Bright Side, so I always hope for the best.

But there is the Bright Side on a Toonsday morning, sponsored by Wong Collision Center on Highway 151.

and Fairfax, Wong Collision Center, where quality is their priority.

See, that lifts your spirits a little bit, right?

That makes it a little bit easier to get up and get going and get back to work.

And I'm thinking, before we get into hit and run headlines, let's take a call.

Let's take a call on our Tunes Day topic, work tunes, tunes that get you motivated to get back to work after a long weekend.

What do you think?

Hard for the

money.

So hard for it, honey.

I'm sure you do work hard, Hawaii.

You sound like somebody with a good work

ethic.

The

Iowa part in you.

I mean, I'm sure the Hawaii part lays around on a beach and drink sweet fruity alcoholic beverages and the Iowan in you.

It really has the good work ethic.

The Hawaii part plays really hard.

And the Iowa part

works really hard.

So I'm sure they even each other out.

They do.

Sometimes the Hawaii part is a little rambunctious.

That's harder to suppress than the work ethic.

That's true.

Because when the wild side comes out, there's no stopping

it.

I

apologize

for that hawaii when I'll never call you the hawaii to one anymore although I kind of like it the more I say

it

Yeah, maybe.

And thank you for that, hawildewan.

Was that it, hawildewan?

And before we get into hit and run headlines, you know how expensive going to a doctor can be.

I mean, I certainly found that out last week when I was going to the Mayo.

Well, those expenses just pile up, and maybe we don't need such great doctors.

Maybe we could save a little bit and try these guys.

My new sponsor for hit and run headlines.

Are the skyrocketing costs of healthcare causing you to avoid much needed medical treatment?

Hello, I'm Victor Delvecchio, and 10 years ago, when my skills as a veterinarian led me to take up taxidermy, I knew it was time for a career change.

And that's why I started Almost A Doctor, our nation's only chain of Almost Doctors' Offices, where you'll be treated by people who are almost doctors in their respective fields.

Internal medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, chiropractic, philosophy, and some guy from The Rugged Doctor.

Of course, every visit to almost the doctor includes almost the diagnosis and almost the cure.

Almost the doctor, where you'll be almost better or almost dead in no time.

All right, here are those hit and run headlines for ya.

A guy skateboarded across the US in 57 days.

You know, when I wanna escape my family, I go bowling.

Only five students were able to graduate from a Texas high school.

Only five.

How sad.

Five kids thought a high school degree from Texas mattered.

A Southwest pilot in San Diego climbed through the cockpit window to unlock the plane before a flight.

Even more remarkable, he did it without spilling his cocktail.

A bear barged into the garage of a Connecticut bakery, scaring employees and eating 60 cupcakes, even worse, no tip.

Freaking bears.

A study found that eating well and getting frequent exercise reduces dementia.

In other news, eating well and getting frequent exercise reduces dementia.

I know, it was the easy joke.

A study finds that taking 4,500 steps a day will help you live longer.

Or it could immediately end your life if you're taking those steps on the streets of Detroit.

Thank goodness we live in Iowa.

Psychologists have defined a new condition.

Post-infidelity stress disorder.

It's why Hillary never smiles.

Today is National E-Bike Day.

I'm helping the environment," replied Sad Weirdos on electric bikes as they twirled their ironic mustaches and wondered why they don't have any friends.

A South Korean man allegedly opened an emergency exit door on an airliner while it was still flying.

In his defense, the in-flight movie was Fast X, so that's the only way to work out.

It's the only way.

A Florida man who lost his arm to an alligator says it's not the end of the world.

Then his friend said, write on and tried giving him a high five.

Oh, very awkward.

Very awkward.

The world's largest t-shirt can currently be found on, this is a multiple choice, the world's largest t-shirt can currently be found on A, a field in Romania, B, the lobby of the Haines factory, or C,

Your mom.

You didn't see that one coming, did you?

Katy Perry may leave American Idol.

No.

She will join viewers who left American Idol back in 2014.

At a recent White Tie event in New York City, Alec Baldwin reportedly berated a waitress.

On the bright side, which is where I like to look, it's kind of refreshing to see Alec just shooting off his mouth.

Chloe, Chloe Kardashian says she had a hard time connecting with her son because he was born through surrogacy and not naturally.

Now, coincidentally, that's why I have a hard time connecting with Chloe's face, I think.

John Stamos says he was angry when the Olsen twins refused to, A, appear on Fuller House, B, attend Bob Saget's funeral,

or C, admit their terrifying demons sent from the netherworld to destroy us all.

Yes, that's it, it's gotta be C, and that's all I got.

And let's say we hit and run into another call on our Toonsday topic.

Work tunes, motivate in tunes.

What do you got?

One of the

best.

One of the best.

Okay, let me make sure I'm seated properly here so I can hear this.

Let her

rip.

That is a great

one.

It's

been a hard day's night.

I've been working like a dog.

I should be sleeping like a log.

By the way, who are you?

Lucy.

Lucy, eh?

You hadn't happened to be up in the sky wearing like a diamond necklace.

Yeah, there you

go.

Right on.

It's good to hear from Lucy in the sky with diamonds with the perfect Beatles suggestion.

Absolutely.

That is the number one song on Ultimate Classic Rocks list of the top 20 work-related tunes.

It's

totally fab, Lucy.

It's totally fab.

Are you on your way to

work?

I am.

What do you do?

I work in medical records at the hospital.

Wow, now that's even more far out.

I work in records too.

It's usually, you know, vinyl, pop, and rock.

That's

right.

Yeah, yeah.

What you do is more important.

Yeah, paperwork, paperwork, paperwork.

Always great to hear from a fab Beatles fan.

And we'll take some more calls coming up, but first, I've got, I've got five things to

do.

And now, the water's wake up call with this morning's

five things you

didn't know you needed

to hear.

So we've got further ado, thing one!

Hey, did you hear what Scotty Pippen is saying about Michael Jordan?

Horrible player, horrible to play with.

Apparently, Scottie Pippen, you know, who he played on the Bulls, he played with Michael Jordan on the Bulls back in the 90s.

They were a stellar team.

But he was asked to name the true goat of the NBA, and he said that from a statistical perspective, it's LeBron James.

And then he added, and I'm quoting, I don't believe that there's a great player.

Because our game is a team game, and one player can't do it.

I seen Michael Jordan play before I came to play with the Bulls.

You guys seen him play.

He's a horrible player.

He was horrible to play with.

He was all one on one.

He's shooting bad shots and all of a sudden we become a team and we start winning and everybody forgot who he was.

So there's no word if this is related or not, but he also posted a picture of his younger self on Instagram with the caption.

from humble beginnings to six championships, two gold medals, Hall of Fame and Leading the Bulls.

Leading the Bulls, that's right, he says, Leading the Bulls franchise with the most playoff wins.

Here's to the unsung heroes.

Cheers.

You know, think what you want, Scotty Pippen.

I say Michael Jordan is a legend, but so is LeBron James.

Second

thing.

To hear about this lady drove into the ocean.

Guess what she was charged with?

DUI.

of course drove right past beachgoers ended up in the ocean charged with a DUI.

Okay, what

happened?

I'm not sure.

I was a driver and they kind of stopped us and they said that we almost hit a child.

I think that we

did.

That's pretty cool though.

Yeah, the people are down here

because you can't drive on this part of the beach.

We were just trying to turn around.

We didn't think that we could do it.

You turn around here and you just try to keep going.

You dope.

She's a dope.

They say we almost hit a child, but I don't think we did.

Well, you were drunk and you were driving past beach goers into the ocean.

You're an idiot, and that's all there is to

that.

Give us this third

thing.

There's a pizzeria, and this is in New Zealand, so we can't take advantage of it, but I thought it was still interesting.

They've got a new payment option.

Buy now.

Pay when you die.

I like that.

More places should do that.

A New Zealand based pizza chain called Hell Pizza.

That's right, Hell Pizza.

And the promotion is called After Life Pay.

And they're accepting 666 applicants.

Of course, they are from New Zealand and 666 from Australia.

And if you do it, you're promising that you will write what you owe into your will.

So each person will get one pizza through afterlife pay which is valued at 25 bucks and they reserve the right to enforce the debt owed by the applicant against their estate upon death or forgive any debt owed.

If you want to go to New Zealand, hell pizza.

I don't think I want to go to hell pizza.

Sorry.

Let's talk about this lady who won a cheese rolling contest.

Unconscious.

She was.

She was totally knocked out when she won this cheese rolling race.

I don't know if you've ever heard of it.

I certainly haven't.

Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake.

It's an annual event.

This is in England and people race down this very steep.

200-yard long hill chasing a wheel of double-gloucester cheese.

Delaney Irving, and she won the women's race despite falling and being knocked unconscious on her way down.

I'm good.

Now that I remember it, I'm good.

I remember running, and then I hurt my head.

And then I woke up in the tent despite the injuries.

There you go.

There you go.

Well, she won.

She was unconscious when she did so, but she celebrated afterwards even though she had a bit of a headache.

And

finally?

Oh, finally.

The moment we've all been waiting for.

And the

fifth thing you should know.

Are you getting sick of these apps?

Of course, Netflix is now enforcing their membership rule, and you can't, you know, give anybody your membership thing, or you're getting big trouble and all of this.

And now...

HBO, it's gone through how many names now, and now it's called Max.

HBO is the brand.

Why are they being called Max?

I don't understand.

They've gone through how many different name changes?

First, it was called Homebox Office.

Then it was HBO.

Then it was HBO Max.

Now it's just called Max.

And to that, I say.

Enough already with the Dopey corporate name changes.

We

just want to know how to find the app to watch our shows and movies.

And stop jacking up the price.

Yeah, I'm totally confused where my shows live anymore.

Stop it.

Just be a little easier to follow and don't be so stinking expensive.

All right.

And I think that's five

things.

Five things you didn't know you needed to hear.

You know, I just realized how crazy all five of those things were.

Hell's pizza.

To pay after you die, you got the lady unconscious winning the cheese race.

Some lady flying through beachgoers in a place she shouldn't be driving, drives into the ocean, gets a DUI.

Scotty Pippen calling Michael Jordan a horrible player?

And the app thing, well, that just speaks for itself.

All right, and before we wrap this up, let's just take a few more calls on our Tunes Day topic of work tunes.

Hey, y'all forgot about taking care of business.

No, you all did.

I've been waiting for that all morning.

You

gotta have

that.

Yes, you do.

Thank you for realizing that.

It's number three on the list.

You know, I really think it should be higher than number three.

Right?

Yeah.

So what is your business, if I may ask?

I'm a bean counter.

All right.

Do you work for Jack?

That's good, shouldn't

I?

You should, although he's kind of a bad boy.

He stalks a lot of people online and, you know, talks about his beans.

We call him the bean stalker.

Right.

Oh,

that's a good one.

Thanks bean

counter.

I know you don't like working,

but do you work?

I work.

What do you do?

I'm a delivery driver for a band-soddle.

While you're working, maybe not bang on the drum, but just like bang on the dashboard and the steering wheel.

And I will salute you, car player of all the music.

Yeah.

What was your name?

I'm Larry.

Larry.

It's good to be anonymous sometimes.

We'll just call you L from now on.

It's a lot better something than they called.

Well, best.

What's L for?

Loser?

Lovable.

Yeah, lovable loser.

No, lonesome loser.

No, that's a different song.

Actually, out on my daily six mile walk, and I listened to you when I'm out walking on a morning to provide music.

Larry, I'm so glad to have you listening, and gotta play some Run-Grant.

All right, thank you so much, and keep on playing the great music, Mr. Waters.

I can have you play Money, if I think Floyd will do it.

If it's not on your list.

You know it's not.

It's not on the list, but I think that's really the reason, the main reason most of us work.

That would be the motivation.

That would be, man.

Yeah, root of all evil and also the motivation for working so we can not die from starvation and lack of shelter and on and on.

So, and a possible line for your boss.

Don't give me that do goody good bull.

I got three ideas for you.

Three?

I don't know if my brain can handle three in one call.

Well?

That's really working hard for me, you know.

Well, you're going to have to think about these now.

One Scotch, one bourbon, one beer.

Of course, you've got to get a job.

Yeah, yeah.

And you know, that's true.

You do.

And it's one bourbon, one Scotch, one beer.

OK, sorry.

That's all right.

Anyway, turn the page because Bob Seager's complaining about his job.

Right on the road.

It's so tough to be a rock star, you

know.

Yeah, poor Bobby.

And then I was

thinking of Manic Monday and Morning Train.

So that's four ideas.

That's Manic Monday, Morning Train, turn the page, and one bourbon, one scotch, one beer.

You got it.

I'm working even harder than I expected to at the beginning of this call.

Well, I've been up since 1.30 this morning, so, you know, my brain's

had time to wake

up.

Mr. Waters, Extraordinary

DJ.

Why am I mountain from the water?

Fudge Woody Woodrow Wittison Jr.

Oh, we gotta have

If it's

the last thing we

ever do, we gotta play Eric Burton and the animals.

Everybody likes to hear that when they leave work.

Yeah.

We gotta get outta this maze.

And then we gotta go to the bar and have a beer.

Hey, we gotta have a drinking song after.

And I thank you for the calls.

Thank you for downloading.

Thank you for listening.

And isn't it nice?

Tomorrow is already the middle of the week.

Feels like it just got started.

It did!

I'll catch you back here on Wednesday.

It's Wanda Wednesday starting at 5.30 a.m.

Plan on it.

And we'll see you on the radio, you

goodbye.

Every Monday through Friday, 5.30 to 10, right

here.

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?
