Water's here from the water's wake-up call celebrating Ding-a-ling day today.
Good morning, Mike.
How are you?
Well, good morning, Carrie from Dyson.
I'm good.
I'm good.
Well, now, of course, I'm good.
Aw.
Aren't I a
charmer?
You are a charmer.
Don't you be a no one now?
A no one?
A no one.
I don't know what you're saying.
Is that some kind of weird form of pig Latin that I'm not aware of?
I don't know.
It just sounded good.
It did sound good.
That's true.
I just didn't understand it, but it sounded good.
So what can I do for you?
I was
listening to the countdown.
Yes.
I believe it was Chuck Berry and
a... When I was a little bitty
boy.
Always dedicates that to me because she says I'm her ding-a-ling
All right,
enough of this nonsense.
I would love to play a little ding-a-ling-a-ling And thanks for the ding-a-ling and giving me the ring ding-a-ling ding-ding all
right
ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
Yeah, I want to do a dedication.
Ooh, I love those.
To you, my dingaling, my Chuck Berry.
Because you're being a dingaling.
I am.
I'm
always being a dingaling.
If that was the case, you should call for that song and dedicate it to me every day.
But I agree with you.
I totally agree with you.
I'm a dorky dingaling, and I will play my dingaling from you to me.
Thank you.
Thanks for the ringling, dingaling.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Bye.
My grandmother.
bought my brother and I when we were younger.
My ding-a-ling by Chuck Berry.
Yeah.
My mother did not approve of it.
Right.
And one day I noticed that the 45 was warped really bad.
She told us that she preheated the oven and it was accidentally in there.
It just happened to be in the oven when she turned
it on.
It happened to be on the pans in there and when she was heating it up and it warped it and no more, no more Chuck Berry.
But you know, ding-a-ling can mean a m-
Multiple different things, you know, it can be a bell.
It can be can be a dope like I'm a dingaling it can be all kinds of stuff Exactly, but she was focusing on the double entendre and the double part that was you know a little iffy
Right and my grandmother just tackled and tackled when we played that and she laughed and thought it was great That's
funny.
Did you end up having baked dingaling for dinner then?
No, we didn't not that night.
Yeah
Maybe I'll play a warped rendition of it.
That'd be wonderful.
Hey, I'll see what I can do.
Bring back memories.
How's it going today,
Mike?
Good.
How are
you
doing, Ding Dong?
I'm doing good, Mike.
Oh, good.
One of the ladies in my office wanted to go to Minneapolis, and she lived in Maryland there, so she drove over to Des Moines to go up 35.
So she drives all the way to Des Moines to get to Minneapolis, because she wanted to take 35.
Yeah, but that way... When was this?
Was this recently, Ding Dong?
No, it was probably ten years ago, I suppose, something
like
that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She called me from Des Moines, and I didn't know how to...
Yeah,
that's I mean it should be like a four-hour road trip, but I'm sure for her it was like oh my god I can't even imagine I can't do that kind of math this early.
Yeah, she had to stop and get a motel, spend the night before she got there.
Yeah, I'll
bet.
I'll
bet.
Oh ding dong.
You know what
ding dong?
Your co-worker is a ding-a-ling of ding dong.
Yeah, and I think it's you.
I think anybody who's around you you turn into ding-dongs or ding-a-ling.
Ding-a-ling-a-ding-dongs, especially on Ding-a-ling-day, ding-dong.
How about you try to out-drink your sister and you pass out in the bathtub with a bucket on your head when you wake up in the morning and you're throwing up all over yourself.
How about that?
Ding-a-ling-a-ding-ding-ding, we have a winner.
The person in the bathtub is a Ding-a-ling-a-ding-ding-ding-ding-a-ling.
Is your sister a marine?
No.
Okay.
Well, if she could drink you under the table, maybe she's a marine.
Is her name Maureen?
Nope.
Wrong twice.
Next morning, I'm like, what the hell's going on?
I'm in the bathtub
with Ro up all
over me.
I must be some
kind of
dealing.
Older or younger sister?
Younger.
Your younger sister drank you into the bathtub.
Yes.
Oh, holla notes.
Oh, the shame.
I'm sure the
shame.
That's a dingaling question.
Dingaling iron iron dingaling.
Oh, how could you not like it?
A
song
that's either about a toy or Chuck Berry's.
Nobody's a bigger dingaling than
me.
There must be a story involved.
So
I've been married for 20 years.
Okay, well that proves it right there.
Well, yeah, exactly.
On our first year of marriage, we were putting up Christmas lights and my wife was actually up on the ladder and being the dingaling that I am, I thought it'd be funny to, you know, shoot her in the butt with a staple gun.
Oh no.
So that was year one?
Oh yeah.
And it's been 20 years and she's stuck with you?
Yeah, she did get off the ladder and gave me one hell of a look.
Yeah.
And said, I'm done.
And I had to finish.
Well, you got off
pretty easily, my friend.
I was like five feet away.
I'm trying to be playful.
As a man, I know the temptation.
But as a married man, I know you never give in.
This is a dangling move.
In the butt, Bob.
That's the end.
answer
there.
Weekday mornings, 5 30 to
10.
