What's Your Cowboy/Cowgirl Name

Hey!

Mike Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.

I hope you're having a fantastic weekend.

Friday morning, and if you're listening to this way in the future, this originated August 16th, 2024, and it was National Cowboy Cowgirl Day.

So I thought we should come up with our cowboy names or our cowgirl names, you know, depending on what you want to pick for yourself.

And along with that, I thought we could pick the song that we write off into the sunset too.

But first, I would like to talk

to our genuine cowgirl listener, Cowgirl Carrie, over there in Dassert.

I've got some questions for you, Carrie, including, where is Tarnation?

That seems to be a big cowboy term.

Tarnation.

Is it a nation?

And if so, where in Tarnation is Tarnation?

Where

is

that?

It is down below Texas.

It is.

Tarnation is.

We're just

going to leave it there.

Roddio, we'll just leave that there and moving on to question number two.

Have you heard about the super cows?

The super cows?

Well, they say the Chinese have cloned these super cows as far as what they do to make them super, I don't know, but apparently they give twice as much milk.

But how do you think the Chinese cowboys make that happen?

I got to say, there's got to be lots of weird chemicals in there.

We'd almost got money on that.

Maybe carnation, you know?

The instant milk just becomes something there in their belly.

And you know what?

You know where the... What?

You said, you know what?

And I said chicken butt.

That's my favorite cowgirl joke is what that is.

But do you know where that stuff comes from?

The carnation?

No.

Tarnation!

Okay, yeah,

my

bad.

Tarnation instant milk is going on with them Chinese cows.

And I would like to leave you with some words of wisdom.

The

only good reason to ride a bull is to meet a nurse.

No, hold on.

That's for my brother.

Hang on now.

Let's see here.

Don't, don't dig for water.

under an outhouse.

That is very good

advice.

And if you get thrown from a horse, you have to get up and get back on unless you landed on a cactus.

Then you have to roll around and scream in pain a little bit.

And you know, the quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your back pocket.

Oh,

I like

that one.

And when in doubt, let your horse do the thinking.

No.

I could lead to trouble.

All right, I'll leave you with that then.

Yeah.

Hey, you have a fantastic day, sir.

Here's Ivan again.

Ivan, what would your cowboy name be?

Well, for the cowgirl, Billy Joe.

OK, so you'd be Billy Joe for a cowgirl?

For a cowgirl.

I find it very interesting that you pick your cowgirl name first, but that's cool.

No judgments here, man.

I'm going to say Billy James for the

cowboy.

The cowboy, yeah.

Wanted dead or alive.

That would be a good one for you.

A lot of times when when you call me, I don't know if you're dead or alive

Well

if it ain't the Brewer County big man, I think that works pretty good for a cowboy name Well

it does but today I'm Jeremiah Boll.

Jeremiah Boll?

I heard he croaked.

They got a frog in my throat.

Well like I say I heard you

croaked.

Well

joy to the world Yeah,

I

think so too Jeremiah bull and and you'd be married to a cowgirl named and Shemima cow Yeah, then then your name is kind of rhyme

All

right, well you should be riding a horse not a truck in the CB's

Yeah,

turn in your your horse for a haul

That's right.

That's right.

You ride the hog, I'll ride my chicken, because I'm chicken rug burn.

Well, you have to edit this out, but that'd be a ****.

No, it's a chicken, not a rooster.

That was bad, Jeremiah.

So bad I should call you Black Mark.

That's right.

But that's another story for another time.

Yeah, that

matched my underwear there.

Well,

that'd be

Black Mark.

All right.

Well, I'll tell you what once you start talking about your underwear this calls over You

have a great day

I'm good.

How are you doing?

I'm doing very good.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Going with cowboy name?

Yeah.

Mine's Buck.

Buck?

That's that's a perfect cowboy name.

I like it too.

Yeah, you know what if I picked a name that was like that, you know what I'd pick?

What?

Buck 50.

Buck 50.

Yeah, man.

Buck.

Buck two beds.

So what song would you be riding off into the sunset to Buck?

We're going to go with Nirvana.

Nirvana.

Let's let's do that.

Team spirit, baby.

Team spirit.

Well, you know what?

A cowboy with team spirit will never

die.

There,

I had no idea what you said, but I think you're right.

Yes, I do, but...

Morning, I have a cowboy name.

Yeah, what is your cowboy name?

Pray tell.

Lead barrel.

Lead... Lead barrel.

That's one barrel you don't want to go over the Niagara Falls

with.

Well, you know, it's a famous barrel gang, you

know.

Oh, the famous barrel gang, of course.

Well, how could I forget?

And what is the barrel gang infamous for?

Drinking barrels of whiskey.

Yeah, I'll

drink to that.

Yeah, man.

Mike, this is all on a whim.

I was all doing my exercise this morning.

And obviously, I listen to you every day.

Well,

thank

you.

And then the song to ride me off away, I guess, would be...

In honor of Led Zeppelin, I'd be stairway to heaven.

If Led Barrel was to die, that would be the song at his funeral and make your final ride into that final sunset.

Yes, sir.

Yeah.

Perfect.

Mike, thank you for bringing so much joy and laughter and great music to our area.

You're the best.

Oh, well, thank you, man.

I appreciate that.

And thank you for calling.

You

bet.

Have a great day.

Sky blue water.

Actually, it's not sky blue water today.

You have to call me by my cowboy name.

Rooster Cogwell.

No, it goes along with Rooster Cogburn, but I'm not as cool as John Wayne, so I'm chicken rugburn.

So stupid

fart noises, but in context sitting around the fire eating beans

Yeah,

and I'm sure Mel Brooks was thinking exactly what you were thinking they're always eating beans why

here and the farting and people complaining about the smell.

You bring up some of the crazy stuff and your mind goes back to their memories that just make you laugh like crazy.

There you go.

Beans, beans are good for your heart.

Before you eat, before you fart, before you fart, the better you feel.

Let's have beans for every meal.

That's what those cowboys, that's why they eat beans all the time.

And they're good for you.

Damn

right,

man.

So

have yourself a blessed day.

You as well know beans about

it.

I'm looking for chicken rugburn.

Hey, there's chicken rugburn right here.

So who am I talking to?

Masioke mud slinger.

So you're not a gun slinger.

You're a mud slinger.

Yeah.

Today I'm doing drywall work.

Yeah.

You know what?

Instead of Butch Cassidy and the Holdin' the Wall gang, you can be Masioke mud slinger and the drywall gang.

That's it.

There we

go.

We

got ourselves a thing.

You know, I join your drywall gang, but I'm too wet.

You know, me being

chicken roogburn

waters and all.

Roogburn, chicken feathers, that smells bad, doesn't

it?

I don't know.

Maybe I've gotten used to it.

I've lived with it pretty much my whole life.

But yes, it smells like chicken, mainly.

Mainly.

Mainly chicken, yes.

There's a couple other scents kind of mixed in there, but we don't need to really concentrate on them.

No.

I'm glad we've come to a consensus.

You have a good day, sir.

I would say.

Yeah.

I always loved his song, the boy named Sue.

And you know, this boy was a rough, tough guy, kind of like a... I always pictured him as a western guy or whatever have you like that.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I got this lady that I worked for Coca-Cola and I'd merchandise at Walmart and this back room lady is really a very not nice person.

She had to write your name down like when you sign in.

So I always thought I'd write down Sue Farmer.

And cuz I also farm yeah, and I thought you know that would be a good Johnny Cash song Sue Farmer.

That's your cowboy name Sue Farmer

That's

my tough cowboy name I love it and I love the way you call her the what did you call her the back room lady?

She's a back room lady.

She's a back room manager

and she is very mean Yeah, she sounds

like a back room lady if you know

what I mean

I'm surprised

she can't have a sense of humor and think oh, yeah

Johnny Cash and

being a back room lady

you're not gonna be like that I guess.

Of course not.

That's what she has to do.

Yes.

I love it.

Sue Farmer.

You remember that.

Awesome.

Thank you, Mike.

How could I

forget it?

You

can't just

think

of

Johnny

Cash.

Well, I've been to Atlantic and back already.

Now I'm headed to Nevada.

So

you're all over the

place.

man.

Like chicken man or in my case chicken rug burn man.

If I had to call myself a cowboy name at this age, I guess I'd call myself the Meta Musil kid.

Is that the chicken man who never met a Musil he didn't like?

Weekday mornings, 5 30 to

10.
