Hey, it's Mike Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call.
Toons name morning.
You know, since it's Brain Awareness Week, I thought we could talk about what we've learned from classic tunes.
Oh, and at one point we talked about Ringo.
Did he?
I don't want to watch a beetle play cow pie music.
I'm
sorry.
Did he play country style?
Yeah, we
all live in a
honky-tonk submarine.
A honky-tonk submarine.
A honky-tonk submarine.
Was it kind of like that?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
This is Josh, and I don't remember who sings it, but the song R-E-S-P-P-P, find out what it means to me.
That's Aretha Franklin.
Yeah.
I already knew how to spell it, but it gives a life lesson for me, because I don't know.
I respect people until they disrespect me, if you know what I mean.
And what it means to be respectful.
Yup.
Yeah.
I feel like a lot of people don't know what that means.
Man, I can only agree with you on that.
And it's getting worse and worse and worse and worse.
Yup.
R-E-S-P-C-T, find out what it means to me.
Some people, I'm sure, learned the spelling of it.
And it's
harder to spell than rock, which I learned from ROCK in
the USA.
Or Glamorous by Fergie.
Yeah?
You probably learned how to be glamorous with that song as well, didn't you?
Yeah, I did.
Yeah.
We're in the sparklies and the, oh, I could go on.
But you know what?
I'm not gonna.
Because I, at one point, I learned a little something about respect.
See, I'm bringing it full circle.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Josh says, you got to be Josh and
Mike.
All right.
I'm a big fan of the monkeys and the lesson they taught me was when my wife is upset with me or she's mad at me and I'm not sure I look at her face and I'm usually a believer.
You're a believer and you know how she's feeling.
It's funny.
I'll bet when you first got married the monkey song meant what it truly was written to mean to you.
Yeah.
I saw her face.
I'm in love.
I'm a
believer.
Now it's just
uh-oh.
You see her face?
And it's like, uh-oh, I'm a believer.
She's really mad.
I better make up the couch.
Yes,
sir.
That's what that's saying.
Lessons evolve.
It does, but we're looking at 43 years coming September, so it's all good.
Yeah, I hope when you look at her face, it's not always anger.
No.
Congratulations, by the way.
Thank you.
Keep up the good work.
I enjoy listening to you every morning.
Well, thank you, man.
I appreciate that.
And thank
you for
the monkey
lesson.
All right, take care.
I like your busy man this morning.
Well, yeah, Tuesdays are always busy.
Yeah.
Yeah, what's up with your TV?
I
was thinking that you probably don't know this, but Conway Twitty taught me how to take care of a woman.
Really?
In
what
way may I ask?
He said you gotta kiss an angel good morning.
No, hold on.
Wasn't that Charlie Pride?
Oh, you're right.
You're right.
You kiss an angel good morning.
Yeah.
And then let her know you think about her when you're gone.
Yeah.
That's
nice Well Conway twitty actually taught me some stuff too.
He taught me how to greet a woman.
Oh, yeah.
Hello darlin nice
to see Water's DJ extraordinaire, so you're looking for my Expansion films this
morning.
Yes brain brain expanding tunes.
It's brain awareness week
Carry over to the government too, man.
You know, a lot of people are talking about the government and the politics and stuff.
Anyway,
you got Pink Floyd.
Wish you were here is a good thinking song.
Yes, I don't know.
You can't play any yes on the radio because it's too long, but
I do play some yes on the radio.
Long play
stuff.
Roundabout.
That's a longer tune.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
You know what?
Maybe roundabout could teach us something about roundabout.
because nobody in eastern Iowa knows how to drive a roundabout.
I think we all know that.
Yield to the left, people.
Yield to the left.
Yeah, you can work that in
perfectly, yeah.
There we go.
We can teach people about roundabouts in a roundabout way with yes.
Now, if we ask them, do you know anything about roundabouts?
They say no, but after we play the yes roundabout, they'll say yes.
I do know about roundabouts.
They have no excuses to
Denying knowing how to handle them in the future after you inform them, but I would not approach them for a reason because
right
now in lack reason at this point
Mr. Waters, this is Don from Florida.
Hey, how you doing, Don?
Good.
You're asking about songs that taught you something.
Yes.
That's the galaxy song by Monty Python.
Yep.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
That's true.
They taught us a lot through their songs, those Monty Python folks.
Yes,
they did.
And I know he's one of your favorites for the bright side.
So of course, I love your show and your music.
That's why I listen to you all the way down here every morning that I can.
Well, thank
that's
of course
Well, very cool.
Thank you for all you do.
It's great you listening in Florida, Don.
You have a great day.
You too.
Take care
and be safe.
Hey, good morning, Mr. Waters.
How are you?
Well, I'm good.
I'm good.
You sound good on the radio, so we're all good.
Well, thanks, man.
Yeah, my wife and I were talking about those songs with historical value to them.
Yeah.
And three of them.
I come up with Real Easy is Ohio by Froggy Stills of Nash.
And
Young.
and young, and young, and then Deion with Abraham Martin and John.
Right.
And then on the countryside, Tommy Cash had won Six White Horses, which represents, in fact, Abraham Martin and John.
Oh.
Anyway, there's three of them that have some great historical value.
Tommy
Cash was Johnny Cash's younger brother.
Okay.
He didn't get as much airplane as Johnny Cash, of course.
Well, it's a great
song.
Well, check that out.
I don't know that song.
Yeah, check it out.
You'll like it.
It's not in the really in the country full country thing like the old ones were but it's a pretty good song.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I like Johnny Cash.
I like that kind of country.
You know,
you like it and you'll like Tommy Cash to listen to some of his stuff.
You'll you'll enjoy him.
Okay,
I'll check
it
out.
All right,
buddy.
Have a good day and we'll keep it good Monday morning.
Hey, you've got your days screwed up by our holla notes.
It's tunes day Yeah,
hello Hey
listen to that.
It's holla notes.
Well, where were we?
Oh
Yeah, you did have a toon's day thing, didn't you?
Uh, you when you're young and you're intensible and you can just do about anything like jumping out of airplanes, drinking, bungee jumping.
But then when you get older, your brain says, you know, I just can't do that stuff anymore.
I can't go for that.
No, no, can do.
A
band called Hollin' Oats taught the Quaker Oats Trucker, Hollin' Oats, not go for that, doing dangerous things.
Nope, I can't.
A
comedy bit I played yesterday from Bill Burr, who was talking about how everything is awesome when you're a kid.
You're not afraid of anything and you're running around and you don't care.
You're not looking where you're going.
Everything is open to you until you start learning.
It's like, oh, there's a weirdo there.
I should have been careful or, oh, I ran too fast and I twisted my ankle.
Ouch, that hurts.
And you get all of these things that happen to you.
It makes life not quite so awesome anymore and it shows you you're not invincible and bad things can happen to you.
Right.
Yeah.
So your brain telling you, you know, you're older?
Your
body can't go for that anymore.
No, it can't
do.
Weekday mornings, 5.30 to
10.
