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

Did we get random on Wednesday talking about our favorite teen movies Sandy grease

Footloose.

Oh, Footloose.

Well, with your name being Sandy, I thought you were going to say Grease.

No, I'm tired of that song because my name is Sandra

Dee.

Well, look at you, you're Sandra Dee.

Look at me, I'm Sandra

Dee.

Okay, enough about Grease.

Let's talk about your favorite movie.

Footloose.

I'll bet you loved that big dance scene with Kevin Bacon as he was, uh, man, he was just dancing all over the place and he was going crazy.

Oh, I loved it.

You know, if they had been smart, they would have put Kevin Bacon in Grease.

Where?

That's usually

how I fry it in the morning.

That's funny.

Good morning.

The breakfast

club.

Yeah, yeah.

Who did you relate to best?

Oh, the young woman.

I can't think of the actress's name.

Was it Molly Ringwald?

Yes, thank you.

Molly.

Yep.

Not the one who was... She was always the cool one.

Always, always dressed nicely and I don't know, just extra clean.

So you're an extra kind of clean cut

Did you wear a lot of sweaters and nice clothes?

Oh, probably.

But you have a second movie from a teen movie that everybody knows, too, and that's Paris Bueller.

Oh, yeah.

The Day Off.

Yep.

Both John Hughes movies.

I mean, John Hughes in the 80s.

He just, he made them all, didn't he?

Great time.

I would have to say for the teen movie, I agree, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

It's hard to dispute Ferris Bueller.

So many great, quotable lines.
