Who used all the Wi-Fi?
Ah, apartment life.
Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.
Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.
Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.
Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.
That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.

Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?
Hey,
it's Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.
Thanks for singing with me this morning, since our Tuesday topic was sing-along tunes.
Good morning, Mike.
Well, good morning, Carrie from Dicert.
What is your favorite sing-along
tune?
Eagle, Seven Bridges Road.
Oh, great.
Well, I'm looking forward to hearing you sing it right now.
I guess it's not as good a sing-along song as you're saying.
Tell
me this, if you're stopped at a stoplight and there's a car right next to you, do you stop singing in fear that that person might be thinking you look like a dope?
I don't know why, but I get self-conscious and stop singing.
I don't know why
either.
But then again, I wear a mask when I'm alone in the car, so...
I'm kidding.
Oh, you're one of them.
Is there somebody like on the floor in the back seat?
All right, well, I'm going to play Seven Bridges Road, and I trust you'll be singing along.
Absolutely.
And you should send me a video of you singing on mute.
That would be the only way I would do that.
OK, well, I'll be expecting that.
And I thank you in advance.
All right, Mike, you have an amazing day.
I would say puff the magic
tray.
The Magic Dragon.
Where do you live?
Wheatland, Iowa.
Wheatland, that's exactly right.
That's a lot of people say by the sea, but that is not true.
I don't think the sea goes anywhere near Wheatland, Iowa.
I don't think it does.
Yeah, right next to a small unknown Iowa town known as Honolie.
Exactly.
Yeah, I think you've been puffin' the Magic Dragon, my friend.
Always.
Okay.
Dude, I'll see you just after 10 o'clock, man.
Do be in coffee, man.
Hey, careful.
I think you mean dragon and coffee.
Good morning, Mr. Waters.
How are you?
Hey, I'm good.
Now that you're calling.
I got a good sing-along song for
you.
OK, let's hear it.
Sweet Caroline.
Never heard of it.
Well, you know, back in my bar, hang out days, you know, that song would come on in the old bar, we get crazy.
And I think it was just recently people started adding the bop, bop, bop.
I don't know when that was, but I don't think they did that more than, I don't know, 10, 15 years ago.
I'm not positive, but I don't think so.
Yeah.
Yeah, looking for my long-lost shaker assault.
That part.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't do karaoke, but if I do, it's always Margaritaville.
Yeah, I'm not a singer.
Me neither.
I've gone up and done karaoke a few times, and I'm usually three sheets to the wind, and I sound better than to myself, and I've seen a few videos.
Well, how embarrassed were you when you were watching the video of yourself doing karaoke scale of one to ten?
Well, I was pretty embarrassed.
You know, it's funny that you don't want to get up at all when you're sober.
because you're going to make an idiot out of yourself.
But then there's something about alcohol that makes you feel so differently.
You get up and make a bigger idiot of yourself than you ever would have done sober.
So when you're sober and thinking logically, you should think, hey, I should do it now before I get drunk and really make an idiot out of myself.
But we don't think that way.
Alcohol kind of makes a mere mortal superman, you know?
They don't call it liquid courage for nothing.
Exactly.
There you go.
Is this Ding Dong?
Right.
Usually I've been reading you via text.
So is wonderful tonight the song you like to sing along to?
Do you have a favorite person you like to sing it to?
Why did I expect that answer from you?
Your girlfriend or your wife.
Yeah.
Yeah, I actually should say way to go ding dong.
Yeah, there you go.
All right.
Ding dong, knock knock.
Who's there?
It's ding
dong.
That's
right.
Evan.
I don't sing it to them both at the same time
though.
Gosh, at least you're smart ding dong.
Yeah, well.
John Denver, Rocky Mountain.
Definitely.
Everybody knows all the worst stuff.
You
know John Denver,
huh?
Well, if your girlfriend doesn't think you sing well, then that's probably got to be true.
Maybe I'd have to be Rocky Mountain High to want to hear you sing.
How many games in the sandals?
Money, money.
Money, money.
Yeah.
We could shake it.
Money, money.
What do you think that line means?
I'm not sure, but you're in any bar or restaurant.
and it comes on people are singing
with.
Yep, it's one of those songs.
Yes, and it should be higher than Madonna's.
I
agree.
Have a super day.
Let's go out singing Mony Mony.
Wait, get shake, get no limony.
Well, good morning, Mr. Waters.
How we doing today?
Well, I'm doing pretty good there.
Bremer County big man.
What is up with you this fine morning?
Came in to work a little early.
Can't work all day if you don't start in the morning.
That's so obvious, but you know, I never thought of that.
Speaking of drinking in the morning, you know, I'll bet you've got a really good singing voice, especially when you're
drunk.
I always tell everybody at karaoke the more you drink the better.
Yes,
and the better you think you sound.
Right.
So you do karaoke, what is your number one sing-along tune?
Everybody's gotta sing Moni Moni.
I'm sure you're a real performer out there to karaoke.
Well, it might not be a sight to see, but there's a lot of me to see.
Bremer County Big Man, the round mound of sound.
Sweet Caroline.
Even if you don't sing along with the rest of the song, if you don't go bop bop bop, you need to be taken to some kind of a rubber room, I think.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Do you sing along from beginning to end?
Or are you the bop bop bop guy?
I do it all.
You do it all.
All right, sing it.
Sweet Caroline.
Bop bop bop.
Awesome.
You
know what city they're talking about and we built this city?
Waverly.
Yeah,
that may or may not be
true.
How are you?
Fine, Mr. Waters.
Well, fantastic.
Who am I talking to?
This is Tammy.
What's up, Tammy?
What's going on this morning?
Betty Davis' eyes.
Is
that your sing-along song?
Yes, it is.
Sing a little for us.
She wets your appetite
when she takes you home.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
No!
Hey, that was the best version of Betty Davis' eyes I've ever heard.
Tammy, it was.
It was.
Oh, okay, Mr. Waters.
Yeah, just go ahead and believe me, okay?
Remember the song Conjunction Junction?
Oh yeah!
Yeah, Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
Yep, that's it.
Nobody has brought up a schoolhouse rock tune.
I think that's, I think that's awesome.
That's a great one.
Like I said, you just got them playing the Oscar Meyer one
and I
thought, there's my ticket, I gotta call him.
You know what?
I mean, we really could include everything with lyrics and a melody.
Doesn't matter if it's a commercial, if it's a schoolhouse rock.
If it's a TV theme, whatever.
Okay.
We got to hear a little schoolhouse rock this
morning.
Yeah.
We can't be done until Schoolhouse Rock has played.
That's right, sir.
Mike Waters, it's Fish from Decora.
How you doing?
Fish, good.
How are you?
Been a while.
Yeah, it has.
Yeah.
What's up, man?
Oh, I got a song that I think I like to sing along to.
Well, what is
this particular tune, Fish?
Um, I'm having trouble with the name Stray Cat Threat.
Right on.
That one's fun to sing along with.
You know it is.
It's not one that instantly comes to mind as a sing-along.
I don't think I've ever sung along to that.
I didn't even know if I knew the words, but there we go.
We both knew the words.
morning's 530 to
10.
