The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Mon Aug 12, 2024

All right, let's talk about National Final Records Day.

Just so you know, it's also known as National Annoying Ponytail and Goatee Guy who wants to corner you at a party and lecture you on Warm Sound Day.

We all know one of

them.

COVID has dropped to the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S.

Number one remains Alec Baldwin.

One third of the U.S.

military could be robotic by 2039.

Great.

Meanwhile, 100% of Wheel of Fortune hosts will be robotic by this fall.

No names.

I'll mention no names.

A woman died after she got stuck on the baggage carousel at O'Hare Airport.

They had to be careful with those, especially in Chicago.

So dangerous, even the baggage carousels are deadly.

New Yorkers have been rated as the most dishonest when it comes to online dating.

Sir Mix-A-Lot turns 61 today, he likes big butts.

Or as he's known these days, Sir Mix-A-Lot of Metamucil.

Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits turns 75 today.

He's going to be celebrating with a new song, The Mall Walk of Life.

Wesley Snipes just broke the world record for longest career as a Marvel character.

And finally, LA is officially on the clock to host the Olympics.
