The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Wed Jan 10, 2024

Hey, it's Waters from the Waters Wakeup Call.

This morning, we were talking about the things people do that are extremely disrespectful.

And I would just like to respectfully thank you for calling in with some disrespectful examples.

So my wife and I were heading to Anaheim going to Disney.

Yeah.

The entire time, there was a lady with a LED flashing rainbow-colored charging cable.

Oh, that's annoying.

And the entire time on the flight, where everybody was two o'clock in the morning, so everyone's trying to catch a little bit of sleep.

She had that thing.

You

know, you could cover that with something.

Do

they not know that that's bugging everybody on the airplane or they just?

Probably.

She was probably either oblivious or just didn't care.

Well,

I better bring my eye mask because I'm bringing that blinking rainbow thing with me.

Disrespect.

There's a rainbow, so, uh, forgiven.

Yeah, not

really.

Mr. Waters, DJ extraordinaire.

Woody Woodrow Woodson, how are you,

brother?

Well, it's been so long since we talked, but your topic today is one of my pet peeves, especially drivers, and their lack of courtesy.

They pull out in front of you without looking.

They refuse to dim their lights.

In fact, conduct on the highway is just terrible.

Disrespectful is what it is, Woody.

Of course.

Yeah.

I think that's where people's disrespect really hits the highest level.

That is the peak level of disrespect is the road because you get behind the wheel and you're not you anymore.

You know, you're behind all that.

steel and or plastic in the car you'll honk at people you'll keep your brights on you'll not put your lights on if lights are needed you won't put on your blinker it's just one thing after another driving too slow in the fast lane oh it's it's

awful tailgating the light changes they won't go yeah like seven or eight cars behind you yeah you only have so much time it's uh yeah it's one way of saying that they've become cretins these

That young up-and-coming replacements for us in the future, which is going to be a sad, ugly future with these people in

it.

It already is a sad, sad future.

But that's why we have great DJs like you to remind.

everybody they possibly can within your You know

if I may jump in and assist here.

Are you talking about our broadcast range?

Yeah,

you're broadcast rain.

That's

right.

That's right We're here to shine a spotlight.

This should take care of everything.

Everybody should be destroyed.

Everybody

should be

Scratch that this morning should be respectful.

Of course.

They should solve the problem.

I'm gonna go to my grave trying to make my next-door neighbor a better person

Whatever, I don't know.

But anyway, pitch something in there.

Yeah, there's gonna be a bit of an intelligence in there somewhere.

Needle in a haystack.

I'll start looking later.

How are you today, my pester waters?

You can call me Mike if you want to.

Yeah,

okay.

Just trying to be respectful.

Theme of the day even.

What I think is disrespectful is, uh, people that don't know how to turn off their goddamn driving lights when they don't need them.

Yeah, why is that?

Just because they're there, I guess.

It's like parking your car and not turning off your headlights.

You don't need them anymore.

You don't need your headlights.

It's the same kind of problem, but on the opposite end of things, when you're driving in snow fog, heavy snow and the fog is going on and you don't have your lights on then, that's really dangerous and disrespectful.

That's because automatic lights and people don't know how to turn their lights on.

Well,

if you can't figure that out, you shouldn't be driving a car.

Yes, sir, you're correct.

That's all there is to that Yeah, you got to know everything about it because it is super dangerous and disrespectful if you don't have your lights on When it's tough to see and again, I say this time and time again I think some people think they think that it's those lights are there so they can see better and if they can't see better with the headlights They just don't turn them on but obviously it's so other people can see you

Parking lights and I never saved anybody's life.

No, no, they didn't turn turn the damn things off.

Yeah, you don't agree Well, good morning to you.

How are

you man?

Warm today is about two and a half hours to my skin though pushing.

No,

right on right on.

Well, Iron Man, let's talk disrespectful dopes.

Yes, but this

They're

just leaving them in the parking lot without putting them in the, uh, the carts.

I think it's called, uh, the cart corral or something like that.

Yeah.

That's always a problem.

I don't know why people do that or don't do that.

Maybe I should say it is very disrespectful and too many people do it.

Well, it's too.

It's too hard.

It's too hard to push it through the snowy terrain of the parking lot, Iron Man.

It's hard.

Well, you

have to, because otherwise, how are you going to get the stuff to your car?

So that's a priority.

Once you get the stuff in the car, it doesn't matter anymore for some people.

It doesn't matter anymore.

You've got your job done.

Now, wherever the cart sits, you don't care.

Your stuff isn't in it anymore.

It's lighter.

You my friend are preaching to the choir and some people are just anyone anyone that's right disrespectful

Yes, of course!

And finally, if I may, I just want to take a quick moment to say thank you to those who have recently and will continue over the next several months to keep us plowed.

I just want to thank you for doing your little public service announcements for plow drivers.

Absolutely.

Are you plowing now?

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Where

are

you?

Where are you

working?

Where are you plowing?

University in the northern part of Iowa.

That makes

sense to you.

Sure.

So what are you experiencing with drivers this morning?

and yesterday in general.

Not too bad.

Most people are being beanies itself.

It's good, but I really do appreciate you telling people that.

Power, power.

You got

it.
