Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?
apartment?
Hey, it's Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call, random Wednesday this morning.
Since it was National Unicorn Day, I thought we could talk about them one horned flying horses, and, uh, you know, I don't have a problem with this, but unicorns have always been kind of a girl thing.
I don't like to stereotype, but we haven't broadcasted in mono forever, so what choice do I have?
But it really has.
I mean, you got the, uh, the horse with the horn and flying around in hearts and pink and, uh, glitter.
In fact, you know, the glitter seems to be
uh, always coming out of the unicorn's rear end.
So I believe it's the fuel for flying, but since it's coming out of the rear end, a guy had to have something to do with that.
But other than that, you know, it's pretty much a girl thing, so I wanted to come up with more of a guy mythological creature, so I was thinking, Scott the Skunk Ape.
So that is the guys, what unicorns are for girls.
I also wanted to come up with more of a mythological creature of our times, so I was thinking something like, uh, 401 Kate.
the retirement penguin.
Anyway, I was glad that you wanted to talk some mythological creatures as well, right?
I got two songs that came to mind when you brought it up.
So good!
One-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater has got to be on there.
And it has to do with old Norse mythology, the Viking and
stuff.
Yeah.
Yes.
Second one is undercover angel.
That's a mythical creature for a lot of guys.
So undercover you never meet her.
Right.
Usually you
meet the one-eyed, one-horned, flying people, purple, poople, people eater.
I think those are two good mythical creature songs and maybe we should
Give them a magic carpet ride on a mythical thing.
That's the perfect thing to do.
Maybe the one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people either gets together with the undercover angel and goes on a magic carpet ride and makes a lot of beautiful, ugly hybrids.
Yeah, OK.
Talk about
beauty and the beast.
I think that's where
it
originated.
And they started multiplying on the magic carpet, just like you in a van back in the day.
Hello, Sharpie, how are you?
I'm good.
Excellent, excellent.
So what's happening today, man?
I had a bad accident right around Christmas, so I've just been landlocked for a
while.
Oh, no.
But you're okay?
Yeah.
Well, three months to recover.
Oh,
geez, man.
Well, I'm glad
you're
recovering.
I am.
Good.
And you kept me company the whole time I've been homebound, so that's
good.
Well, it's an honor, Sharpie.
It's an honor.
This is a really interesting topic today.
Well, thank you.
Do you have anything in mind for the...
the mythical creature, a new one, or?
It just, it got my brain going, and I had a wife and daughter, and of course unicorns were everywhere.
Right.
And then my wife always used to say, well, the male equivalent is the Dodo bird.
Yeah.
But that's neither there nor there.
No, because it's extinct.
It can't be here nor there nor anywhere.
What it got me thinking about was, you know, how girls always draw unicorns on their folders when they were in school.
Right.
And this just popped into my head, the Liger.
Did you say Liger?
the lion
tiger hybrid
and this is the test of your cultural knowledge where does that come from
that that comes from Napoleon dynamite
yeah yeah
yeah he's such a great artist you know all the things he draws are I I'm so envious of that guy and his and his wonderful artistry and he said sarcastically
it's a liger
it's a liger and what's what's the name
What's the name of their family pet?
It's a llama Tina So man, we got a whole bunch of mythical creatures there I mean we we got the Liger Scott the skunk ape the dodo 401k the retirement penguin.
I love that one.
That was really funny Thank you.
I think my 401k is disappearing.
It's not totally gone yet, but it's disappearing and retirement Are you kidding?
And then I found another Wandom Wednesday topic that was just randomly strolling along through the internet, and it was the greatest opening scenes in movie history.
And I thought, well, instead of going through all those, uh, kind of lame ones, there were a few good ones, but a lot of lame ones as well.
I thought I'd rather find out from you what your favorite opening scenes were in all of film history.
Good morning, Mike.
Well, good morning to you.
How are you?
I
feel good.
Good.
What's happening?
Uh, well, my name is...
are just in the car and we heard that you were talking about the greatest opening scene of movie of all
time.
Yeah, yeah, what's your pick?
What's your guys' pick?
We absolutely loved the opening scene of
the very first Back to the Future.
The Doc Brown's got his machines and they're opening the can for Einstein's food and then he comes in and sees that Doc's not there and then he bugs in the amp and he just blows and stuff.
Yeah.
Against back against the wall.
Yeah, that was great.
That
was a
great scene.
Yeah.
Like he just flew 50 feet in the air.
Right.
It gets the whole back to concept going back to the wall with the guitar back to the future with
the car, sets it all up.
I don't
know.
I just laughed at that part could be.
The look on his face when he comes up from the back,
he's
like,
whoa.
Yeah.
That was such a great movie at the time.
I remember seeing it in the theater and it was just such an entertaining movie.
And yeah, that opening scene just kind of set everything off, which is what it's supposed
to do.
I wouldn't have thought of that, but that is a great opening scene, especially with the guitar and flying backwards.
That's great.
And there's two movie scenes that when you say opening scene that come to mind right away.
Okay.
Okay.
The original Star Wars.
With that big ship
coming over.
Yeah, when it just keeps coming over and coming over and all of a sudden the laser blast scare the crowd, you know, I mean like when they're watching it.
Yeah, you know, when you see that today, it's not as, it's not as big, but then in the theater in 1977, it was like, oh my God, I remember I was there with my parents and my brother and my mom was like going, oh my God.
It was just overwhelming.
Yep.
So that's a great one.
What's the other one?
I'm not sure if you call it the opening scene, but like the opening segment of the whole movie is the original John Wick.
Oh, yeah.
Heartbreaking.
They go, they break into his house because they want to steal his car and his wife.
It just died.
They ended up stealing his car and killing his dog.
Yeah.
Well, that's that's really what sets the whole thing off.
You feel for him and you want to do exactly what John Wick does.
Oh, yeah.
And then you're watching and it's just like, and, you know, everybody that knows anybody is like just scared to death that the name even comes up.
And, you know, like when his dad finds out, he's like, I heard you hit my kid.
And he's like, yes, sir, he stole John Wick's car and killed his dog.
And he just goes, oh.
Okay, well, there's nothing I can do here.
Let's hope things go, okay, but I doubt it will
it's been nice knowing you all
right
Okay, one of the best all-time opening scenes
yes,
I think is from American graffiti and if you remember The one character they called toad he was on like a little motorcycle and he thought he had it shut
off and it did and almost went into the building and actually that really happened.
It was an accident, but they kept it in the film.
Right.
And it was great because he's on this.
It's like a moped or a scooter.
More of a scooter.
Yeah, and he's on the scooter when
that happens.
Like, he turns it off and then it starts up again.
And he's on this little scooter and I think goes into a trash can or something.
Yep,
he goes into a trash can.
Yeah, it was really funny to be back, but basically it was really an accident because
What's his name left it in?
It was a hilarious scene, but it wasn't supposed to be like that, but they left it in, I guess.
Right, there are a lot of those where unexpected things happen, and if you know it's great for the movie, they keep it in, and obviously that was perfect for a character like Toad, because he's kind of a dope through the whole thing, and for it to start off like that.
It really establishes who he is in the movie.
It's perfect.
Yes,
it
does.
Yes, it does.
That's my
vote.
Thank you, Coach
Brad.
I
appreciate you calling.
What are you the coach of?
Well, I used to be a basketball... Well, I coached everything at one time, but I coached basketball and had some...
Very good, James.
He won the state championship in 2009.
Right on, Coach Brad.
And, uh, yeah, I've had a pretty good career in the whole
thing.
Well, it's an honor talking to you, Coach Brad, and thanks for bringing up American Graffiti.
That is a great scene.
Have a great day.
I thought I'm karate kid.
The opening scene, that's absolutely wonderful.
The mean man, I can't take of his name, but he breaks that trophy that the blonde headed kid got.
He breaks it in half and Miyagi sees him do that and he walks over and confronts him and that's when the fight kind of, it wasn't much of a fight.
It was just the other guy trying to hit Miyagi with a fist and he put him both through the window of a car.
That's funny.
Oh God.
That's how to
win.
You don't
lay a hand.
hand on him, but don't lay a hand on him.
Don't let him do all the punches.
He
let him beat himself up.
He let him beat himself up.
Yeah, good for you, Miyagi.
Yup, it was unbelievable.
That's great, man.
I'll have to check that out.
Yup, yup, you have a good day, Mike.
Good talking to
you.
