Morning Meltdown: The Weirdest Lie You Were Told as a Kid

Hey, it's Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.

Hope you having a fantastic weekend.

Friday morning, we were talking about the weird lies you were told as a kid and playing some great Friday tunes.

Well,

when me and my wife first got married, we had a car that light bulb went out in the turn signal.

So when you turned the blinker on, the blinker would blink fast.

Yeah?

So I pulled into an automotive store and I said, go ahead and get some blinker fluid.

Oh, that

did

not go over so well.

Well, you made a fool

out of her, didn't you?

I'm gonna call you Blinker Ding Dong from now on.

So what did your wife do?

Are you still married?

Yeah, 48 years.

She must have a terrible memory.

Maybe she forgot about that incident like five minutes later.

Well, maybe, but she found such a good cat she just don't want to leave.

Well,

that's it.

Now that I've found somebody named Ding Dong, if they call him Ding Dong, why would I ever want to leave him?

That's right.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Well, I hope she calls you Blinker Ding Dong after that incident.

I'll tell

her.

OK, please do.

Thank you.

I appreciate

that.

A time where my grandfather and my dad went in on this and I was using an electric drill and my dad kinked the electrical cord almost like you would a water hose.

My grandfather's around the corner and he's unplugging it making it look like when my dad kinked the extension cord to cut the power off to the drill.

I was like, oh, wow, you can do that?

But you realize now that that doesn't happen, right?

Yeah, my dad and my grandfather's full of crap.

Well, yeah.

And if there's one thing that either your dad or your grandfather is good for, it's making you look like an idiot at least for a minute or two.

And then when we kids grow up, we do the same thing to our kids.

Yeah, yeah.

Either that or you break the cycle.

Maybe it's good to just break the cycle and not do that with your own kids.

But that's no fun.

I've made them look pretty dumb sometimes.

God bless you for that.

That means you're a good father.

If you keep making that face, your face is gonna stay like that.

Yes, that's a classic is what that is.

That's like the stairway to heaven of lies to kids.

I was trying to think

of

one and that's the best way I could move it.

But actually, and this may surprise you, it's true.

It's not a lie, it's true.

My face did stay like my weirdest face I

made at

some point in my life.

That's my problem.

Oh come on, I saw your profile picture, it's not that bad.

Huge charmer.

You're very

complimentary, but I didn't get this dopey face from God.

I

got it from making a

face, it stayed that way, so I am the poster boy for the if you make a face, it'll stay like that.

No longer a lie.

The truth.

At least you're owning it.

I own so few things.

I'll take anything.

And I got a weekend song for you.

Okay.

It's working for the weekend by

Loverboy.

I knew somebody was gonna get to that.

some point but yeah gotta

play yeah cuz we're working for the weekend

so from a lie to a lie proven true and finally to undisputed truth we are indeed working for the weekend hey one roll now right on man I hope you're making a happy face and it stays that way it's all up to you man it is I know I know I feel the responsibility I feel the crush

okay well you have a great

day

You're doing pretty good.

Do you have a lie, a song, or both?

A song.

Okay.

Thank God it's

Friday.

From the movie?

Yes.

Friday.

Thank God

it's Friday!

Friday.

Exactly.

I actually had that soundtrack back in the day.

I don't admit that to everybody, Hawaiian.

I

feel special.

Thank you so

much.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, you should feel special.

Hey, you know what?

I tied everything in and I told you a lie.

But which one is the lie?

I'm

sorry.

That's for you to figure out in your head.

Okay.

I will decide that.

Okay,

good.

Sky blue water.

Well, good morning.

How are you?

I got a guarantee for you, and it won't be a lie.

Okay.

The

Vikings

won't lose this weekend.

Yes, I know they don't play this weekend, so I got nothing to worry about.

I'm still wearing my Vikings hoodie though,

so... Oh man, I'm so damn proud of you.

I just had to tell you, we got a great weekend, man.

Yep, Vikings will not lose and the Hawkeyes will win.

Oh, amen to that.

Yeah, this is Cole Patrol, Bremer County.

Cole Patrol?

Yeah, Cole Patrol.

What do you do as a member of the Cole Patrol?

We go around

checking up on

all of our...

own neighbors.

Oh good.

My mom and dad they'll usually tell us that Santa Claus wouldn't come unless it snowed.

So what happened on Christmas Eve if it wasn't snowing?

My mom and dad would make up another story.

Good.

So they'd have a lie to cover for the the other lie just in case.

Exactly.

That's smart.

Now see that smart lying right there.

If you're gonna be untrue you might as well be smart about it.

Exactly.
