Speaker 1 (00:00):
I had a moment happen this morning that I feel
is good luck. It's when you're pumping gas and it
stops on a perfect dollar. It could be ten dollars,
thirty dollars, fifty dollars. I'll even go as far as
fifty cents is cool, but anything outside of that is
just reckless. That's something Megan does. Blair, we don't know
this about you.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I feel like you're asking because you honestly probably expect
me to answer exactly like I'm going to that it
has to be at fifty or a dollar or I
will keep going, like to the point where there have
been times where I've been putting gas in my car
and it's like coming out of my car, but I
have to get it to land on the right thing.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Oh my god. All right, that's a little egregious.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
But Bobby detells me that we shouldn't do this.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
He says that it's it's honestly a lot more of
a headache, because he says, if you ever have an issue,
you want it to be a random number that'll stick
out on a statement and be easier to find.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Oh all right, so your dad's like Liam Neeson from
taking he's getting real exa, Meghan, why are you the
type of person who doesn't care You'll end on twenty
three cents and it doesn't bother you.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
I feel like you guys are just stressing yourself out
with these gas games. And I half the time don't
even put gas in my car when I mean to,
I'll scan, i'll put the nozzle in, I'll drive away.
And I didn't even get gas. I got zen in
some funny and rings, but I didn't get gased.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
How many times does that actually happened to you? Where
you've left the gas pump without pumping gas?
Speaker 5 (01:23):
More than I would like to admit it happens often?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Where do you guys fit in this perfect dollar? Fifty
cents or you just go wild with any number that
it stops on?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Chris? What's up, Bud?
Speaker 6 (01:36):
I was calling about the gas? What I was talking about? Yeah,
I'll go one cent over anything.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Let's play this out real quick. Fifty dollars and one cent? Yes,
so happened with my card? I can I can say
that to me?
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
That makes sense?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So point, it's kind of like it's kind of like
a gas pump signature.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Okay, you know I was ready to call you a
little crazy, but now I.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Think this is I just don't know my OCD could
do it.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Hang on, Blair, It's kind of like you and I. Anyway.
His OCD just happens to be the one penny. Will
you do it? If it's three cents? Will you do it?
If it's eight percent? I'm crazy to right?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Or does it have to be one cent? So he's
just as OCD and crazy about this as us.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
He just changes the number.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Couldn't do like an even number?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
I number.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
I just I've stressed out here in all you guys
with these games you're playing at the gas pump, because
I just want to point out too, y'all are the
ones that also don't like people just sitting at the
gas pump. But y'all are there sitting there trying to get.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Your week number.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Megan, if you think about this, Chris's point actually makes
a lot of sense, and it would be perfect for
a lot of people to do it.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't understand why you don't.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Subscribe to that, because if you looked at your statements
and somebody questioned whether not that was you, you would
have no idea.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I don't look at my statement that would do nothing
for me.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Thank you, buddy, appreciate your time today. Hopefully you have
a great day. Let's get over to a Dwayne eight
five five Grave zero.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
What's up, Dwayne?
Speaker 8 (03:16):
Good morning. So let me first saying a kid, it's
great to listen to you on the radio. You and
Blair and Megan, y'all complim and each other.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Real good thanks buddy.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
Well, I was just calling in the K. I just
heard the thing about uh, the guess thing about stopping
at a certain number. Yeah, the same way I had
to stop it on an even number of people.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
But will you go to the level of Blair, which
is to get to one of those numbers, you'll let
gas spill out of your tank.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
Well I've not done it, but I mean it's done
it accidentally. Sometimes something I got to a mighty cut
off when it gets up. So for me, sometimes the
pumps don't necessarily work like that, and it will it
will overfeel.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
And this is how we got out. We're best friends.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Oh man, Thank you Dwayne. Have an awesome one YouTube.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
But you have a great day you too. Giving you
all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the good good
on the Spencer grave show.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
High school and college graduations are on everybody's mind. Well,
how about being a mom who put your dreams of
graduating college on hold to raise your family.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
That's what Patricia did.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But she's seventy nine years old and she's graduating with
a degree in criminal justice this weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I love hearing stories about this where people are like, no,
I set my mind to something years ago and I'm
going to complete it.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
So well done by her.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
It makes me feel bad though, because it's seventy nine.
She's making things happen, and I'm not still losing your eyes.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Dirugging to keep your identification.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Our class reunion is still a thing a fi five
Graves zero. I feel like with the rise in social media,
they're not nearly as cool or popular as they.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Used to be.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
This is actually happening to me right now because this
month hits my ten years out of high school, which
is terrifying as it is. But I got added to
a Facebook page that's the Lisama High School graduating class
of twenty fifteen. We're the only one in the whole
area that didn't already have people on this page, and
(05:20):
people are just slowly trickling in there's no class reunion
planned for us at all, And I made a couple
phone calls and found out that apparently what happened was
our student body president opted to get like, I don't know,
a sign made or something instead of the class reunion,
like the funds being saved, And honestly, I didn't think
(05:41):
I would want to go, but now that I'm not invited,
there's not one.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Going on on the option.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Yes, I feel like I'm missing out on the opportunity
to say no and reject my high school.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And Megan only wants the option to say no. I
was asked to go to a high school reunion. I
planned on going that day, ended up getting two flat
tires on my way, and I felt like it was
God's way of saying, don't travel to another state for
this reunion. And I'm glad I didn't go, because honestly,
everybody posted on social media after and I felt like
I was kind of already there, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
When we had our ten year high school union, me
and my best friend Rachel, she's obviously in my class,
we talked about it quickly decided no, we weren't going
to participate. In fact, our class president reached out to me.
I was like, hey, do you want to plan this?
You would be a great person to plan and I'm like,
I would have a hard time planning it if I'm
not going to be attending it, And you're like, I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Sorry, was I elected to plan this? Because I remember
not being.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
On the ballot exactly, and so it was just something
for me. I've always felt like if and I mean
this in no disrespect, but if I haven't had a
conversation with you in ten years, I feel like it's
just going to be surface level conversations all night, and
it's just not something that I'm interested in.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You left high school, if you didn't keep a relationship
with those people, why would you want to go and
have a forced, awkward, overpriced dinner at a country club
that you'd rather be with your actual friends at that
time somewhere else was yours?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Not a country club, because mon was at the Brick
Deli in Decatur.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Listen, we say country club, but it's almost like just
the local golf course that should have been sold about
fifteen years ago and has gone into you know, utter DISTORTI.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Five and it sounds like blair your experience, like living
in the general area where you went to high school
is the same as most of the people where I'm from.
You go to the downtown bars and you run into
your class anyway, so it's not like, you know, it's
like anxiety every time I go into Target Indicator because
it's going to be a mini high school union.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
So maybe that's why I.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Feel like I didn't have to go, because it's like, no,
if I go to Target Indicator, I will see everyone.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
That's where you should do it. You guys should have
your high school are at Target Aisle five, and then
on the way out, everybody can buy the things they
didn't expect to buy.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
They you have us Starbucks? Yeah, that this could work.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Maybe that's how you get me and Rachel to attend
the twenty years you have it near a Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
We would I love to hear from people who have
actually attended a high school reunion. Did you have the
same thoughts as us, but something changed your mind?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Eight five five Graves zero.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
It was interesting, you know, it's funny how the real
thin girls that were snotty were a little bit heavy,
and how the not so pretty girls did everybody make
fun of were really pretty and worked out and had
good lives and good jobs and good families.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
So I don't know kind of kind of what comes
around goes around, you know.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
Really, yeah, it.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Was interesting, it was interesting. I'm glad I did it.
I'm glad I did it just to see still the
same clique clicks, you know, the same girls. You had
the dope smokers all hanging out, and you had the
pretty princes all hanging out, and you had the geeks
hanging out.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So yeah, yeah, Well, Megan has not been invited to
her high school reunion because they don't plan on doing one.
I've had a couple that have come and gone, and
I didn't go because I feel like the rise in
social media, you already know what everybody's up to anyway.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Yeah, but still, what if there was just one of
your buddies that who you went through something with him,
or he went something with you, and you just really
wanted to say, buddy, thanks a lot for what you did.
I still remember it, and I still talk about it,
and I still think about it. You know, there might
be that one person that you really need to see
(09:27):
for some reason.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So you're saying that people should.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Go absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Good morning, Rebecca.
Speaker 10 (09:34):
We went to our twenty year reunion, and my husband
got the awards for being most changed because when he
started high school he had had an accident and he
weighed ninety one pounds and now he weighs two hundred
and sixty pounds and he is six foot four, so
he got most Changed.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Well, thank you, Rebecca, I hope you have an awesome
day you too, Debbie.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
What's going on forty on the reunion thing, we are
celebrating forty years of my graduating class graduations and we
started at twenty five, and it's always fun to go
and see all the people that you didn't associate with
at the time, and now all of a sudden you
associate with. Everything just changes after years, so it's definitely
(10:23):
a big thing.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So how did that happen? Like what were they doing
in high school that you weren't friends with? And then
how did you become friends?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Now?
Speaker 9 (10:30):
Back in the day, they were the you know, the
calendar girls, they were the homecoming queens and the cheerleaders
and all that good stuff, and I was just this
person in the back and now all of a sudden,
we're all even The last time I went to the
high school reunion I was sitting next to the homecoming queen.
That wouldn't have happened in high school.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Well, you're sweet for calling us today.
Speaker 8 (10:55):
By the way, thank you.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
So you have a great rest of your You.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Consider our table anytime you want.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
Okay, thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
All right, we'll talk to you soon, Debbie.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
All right, have a good day.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
It's How Country are You? On The Spencer Grave Show.
Chris Let's play some How Country are You? Where are
you from? I'm from Asheville on a score of one
the country? How country are you think?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
I'm a nine point two?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Whoa dropping decimal?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Think I'm pretty good?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
We like that.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He leaves a little room for air. Megan's got three
questions for you. We'll give you a real country score
at the end.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Good luck.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Which country icon starred in a sitcom about being a
single mom who works too hard?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Riba fast? Yeah, great job.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
What are the things that you do when you hear
there's going to be bad weather coming through?
Speaker 8 (11:44):
Make sure I've got my clothes on.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
That's all you need.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Chris is typically naked when inclement weather orises. Do you
always check to see if your car windows are up?
Speaker 8 (11:56):
I do because I forget sometimes, or I'll lay on
my keys and the truck windows are just down in
the morning.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And the real dedication is going out and checking.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
While it's boring, I'll send a child nice smart are
here we go?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Last question, Chris.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
If you were to get a Bible verse tattoo, which
verse would you choose?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Maybe you already have one? No, I don't have any.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
I would say Malika three wow, verse.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Nine and ten?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Why Malachi nine and ten?
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I like that verse. It's something that you know.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
It's where God says proved me.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's so interesting because that's not one that a lot
of people hear. You hear Philippians, you hear John three sixteen,
but me, you don't hear that one a lot.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I like that You've put some thought into this. Have
you ever considered getting that tattoo?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I have not.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
You don't put bumper stickers on Corvette.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The country version, buddy, nicely done. Nine point two is
very fitting for you.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Wonderful.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I got a pair of passes for you to check.
How Thomas right?
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Cool?
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Thank you so very much, y'all have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
With the ACMs in the rear view and the drama
that came out of it. So many people were watching
Ella Langley, and when she took stage to get an
award for her song with Riley Green, a lot of
people started to say, there's something going on.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
She opened up about what that week was like for her.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Oh wow, this last week has been probably.
Speaker 11 (13:25):
One of the toughest mental health weeks I've had, which
is crazy because so many good things are happening, so
many things I've prayed for and dreamed about. Just because
I might seem like on the top of the mountain
right now, it doesn't look like that all the time.
And also it's okay to be two things.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I was just actually talking to Lady.
Speaker 10 (13:41):
And Miranda about this.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I was like, my imposters did dremale, Like, what do
you mean?
Speaker 11 (13:44):
How can I'll be in the same category as you two?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
That doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 11 (13:48):
I think it's just about being grateful for what God's
given me in the place that I get to be in.
And it is tough, but tough things are worth's going
through if you want.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
To definitely true you know all of us have said
you just don't know what somebody's going going through until
they open up like Ella did.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, I mean, and I'm sure that is really difficult
to like being you know, one of her big first
and biggest award shows. I'm sure you do have so
much on your mind. And you know, we kind of
joked about it, you know what was going on. You know,
was she upset? You know all the things. But it
is a nice reminder that you don't understand what somebody's
going through unless you truly walked in their shoes.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
And I'm glad to hear that. That's like, I love
when that she came out and said that on her
own instead of just letting people continue to speculate, because
what it looked like from an outsider's perspective was negative.
And now we know how she really feels.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Blair, this would send you into an absolute tizzy since
you're the only one who's married on the Spencer Grave Show.
A most recent wedding had ninety eight bridesmaids but only
eight groomsmen. That's a little overkill, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What is the bride trying to prove here? Like that's absurd.
I mean, at some point you you have to have
a cutoff of your bridle party and it's not at
ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
It's because she considers all ninety eight of them her
best friends, so that's why.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
She doesn't shed an elaborate something. I don't understand the
philosophy behind it at all.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It's a little overkilled, though, and I feel like weddings
is the one time in your life where you can
really go over the top, and a lot of people
don't question it until later down the line. Like when
I was twenty, I went to a wedding from somebody
in high school and they had a full on bagpiper band.
I mean not just one bagpiper, this was like six
(15:35):
of them. And then they had the drums and they
were in the full dress and all that kind and
I asked, I was like, is anybody here Irish?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
And they were like, oh no, we just like bagpipes.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
You would have to have a leave in the little
gift bags that are set on the tables for listening
to that for hours.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
It was wild, horrible, It was wild, but it was
definitely overkilled.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Megan, you went to a wedding with a petting zoo?
I did.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
It was the last one I went to.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
It was on my birthday, too, which sucked, like there
was all these wild animals running around, like pigs, donkeys
plural like multiple donkeys, I think a couple of lamas
goats and they were just released. I mean, were their
habitat was where the wedding was? Were they big animal lovers?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Like?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Was this at a character for the people that were
getting married?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Something for the kids?
Speaker 5 (16:22):
I think that it was mostly because of the wonderful
price that was on the venue.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I think that had something to do with it.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Wait, so if you pay X amount you get a
petting zoo.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
No, if you don't want to spend an arm and
a leg on a wedding, you get a petting zoo.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I just love how there was a couple of donkeys there.
So outside of the groom's uncle who was wasted, he
wasn't the only jackass A five to five grave zero.
What's the most over the top thing you've seen at
a wedding
I had a moment happen this morning that I feel
is good luck. It's when you're pumping gas and it
stops on a perfect dollar. It could be ten dollars,
thirty dollars, fifty dollars. I'll even go as far as
fifty cents is cool, but anything outside of that is
just reckless. That's something Megan does. Blair, we don't know
this about you.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I feel like you're asking because you honestly probably expect
me to answer exactly like I'm going to that it
has to be at fifty or a dollar or I
will keep going, like to the point where there have
been times where I've been putting gas in my car
and it's like coming out of my car, but I
have to get it to land on the right thing.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Oh my god. All right, that's a little egregious.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
But Bobby detells me that we shouldn't do this.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
He says that it's it's honestly a lot more of
a headache, because he says, if you ever have an issue,
you want it to be a random number that'll stick
out on a statement and be easier to find.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Oh all right, so your dad's like Liam Neeson from
taking he's getting real exa, Meghan, why are you the
type of person who doesn't care You'll end on twenty
three cents and it doesn't bother you.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
I feel like you guys are just stressing yourself out
with these gas games. And I half the time don't
even put gas in my car when I mean to,
I'll scan, i'll put the nozzle in, I'll drive away.
And I didn't even get gas. I got zen in
some funny and rings, but I didn't get gased.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
How many times does that actually happened to you? Where
you've left the gas pump without pumping gas?
Speaker 5 (01:23):
More than I would like to admit it happens often?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Where do you guys fit in this perfect dollar? Fifty
cents or you just go wild with any number that
it stops on?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Chris? What's up, Bud?
Speaker 6 (01:36):
I was calling about the gas? What I was talking about? Yeah,
I'll go one cent over anything.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Let's play this out real quick. Fifty dollars and one cent? Yes,
so happened with my card? I can I can say
that to me?
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
That makes sense?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So point, it's kind of like it's kind of like
a gas pump signature.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Okay, you know I was ready to call you a
little crazy, but now I.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Think this is I just don't know my OCD could
do it.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Hang on, Blair, It's kind of like you and I. Anyway.
His OCD just happens to be the one penny. Will
you do it? If it's three cents? Will you do it?
If it's eight percent? I'm crazy to right?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Or does it have to be one cent? So he's
just as OCD and crazy about this as us.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
He just changes the number.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Couldn't do like an even number?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
I number.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
I just I've stressed out here in all you guys
with these games you're playing at the gas pump, because
I just want to point out too, y'all are the
ones that also don't like people just sitting at the
gas pump. But y'all are there sitting there trying to get.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Your week number.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Megan, if you think about this, Chris's point actually makes
a lot of sense, and it would be perfect for
a lot of people to do it.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't understand why you don't.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Subscribe to that, because if you looked at your statements
and somebody questioned whether not that was you, you would
have no idea.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I don't look at my statement that would do nothing
for me.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Thank you, buddy, appreciate your time today. Hopefully you have
a great day. Let's get over to a Dwayne eight
five five Grave zero.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
What's up, Dwayne?
Speaker 8 (03:16):
Good morning. So let me first saying a kid, it's
great to listen to you on the radio. You and
Blair and Megan, y'all complim and each other.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Real good thanks buddy.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
Well, I was just calling in the K. I just
heard the thing about uh, the guess thing about stopping
at a certain number. Yeah, the same way I had
to stop it on an even number of people.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
But will you go to the level of Blair, which
is to get to one of those numbers, you'll let
gas spill out of your tank.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
Well I've not done it, but I mean it's done
it accidentally. Sometimes something I got to a mighty cut
off when it gets up. So for me, sometimes the
pumps don't necessarily work like that, and it will it
will overfeel.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
And this is how we got out. We're best friends.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Oh man, Thank you Dwayne. Have an awesome one YouTube.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
But you have a great day you too. Giving you
all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the good good
on the Spencer grave show.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
High school and college graduations are on everybody's mind. Well,
how about being a mom who put your dreams of
graduating college on hold to raise your family.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
That's what Patricia did.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But she's seventy nine years old and she's graduating with
a degree in criminal justice this weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I love hearing stories about this where people are like, no,
I set my mind to something years ago and I'm
going to complete it.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
So well done by her.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
It makes me feel bad though, because it's seventy nine.
She's making things happen, and I'm not still losing your eyes.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Dirugging to keep your identification.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Our class reunion is still a thing a fi five
Graves zero. I feel like with the rise in social media,
they're not nearly as cool or popular as they.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Used to be.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
This is actually happening to me right now because this
month hits my ten years out of high school, which
is terrifying as it is. But I got added to
a Facebook page that's the Lisama High School graduating class
of twenty fifteen. We're the only one in the whole
area that didn't already have people on this page, and
(05:20):
people are just slowly trickling in there's no class reunion
planned for us at all, And I made a couple
phone calls and found out that apparently what happened was
our student body president opted to get like, I don't know,
a sign made or something instead of the class reunion,
like the funds being saved, And honestly, I didn't think
(05:41):
I would want to go, but now that I'm not invited,
there's not one.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Going on on the option.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Yes, I feel like I'm missing out on the opportunity
to say no and reject my high school.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And Megan only wants the option to say no. I
was asked to go to a high school reunion. I
planned on going that day, ended up getting two flat
tires on my way, and I felt like it was
God's way of saying, don't travel to another state for
this reunion. And I'm glad I didn't go, because honestly,
everybody posted on social media after and I felt like
I was kind of already there, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
When we had our ten year high school union, me
and my best friend Rachel, she's obviously in my class,
we talked about it quickly decided no, we weren't going
to participate. In fact, our class president reached out to me.
I was like, hey, do you want to plan this?
You would be a great person to plan and I'm like,
I would have a hard time planning it if I'm
not going to be attending it, And you're like, I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Sorry, was I elected to plan this? Because I remember
not being.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
On the ballot exactly, and so it was just something
for me. I've always felt like if and I mean
this in no disrespect, but if I haven't had a
conversation with you in ten years, I feel like it's
just going to be surface level conversations all night, and
it's just not something that I'm interested in.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You left high school, if you didn't keep a relationship
with those people, why would you want to go and
have a forced, awkward, overpriced dinner at a country club
that you'd rather be with your actual friends at that
time somewhere else was yours?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Not a country club, because mon was at the Brick
Deli in Decatur.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Listen, we say country club, but it's almost like just
the local golf course that should have been sold about
fifteen years ago and has gone into you know, utter DISTORTI.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Five and it sounds like blair your experience, like living
in the general area where you went to high school
is the same as most of the people where I'm from.
You go to the downtown bars and you run into
your class anyway, so it's not like, you know, it's
like anxiety every time I go into Target Indicator because
it's going to be a mini high school union.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
So maybe that's why I.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Feel like I didn't have to go, because it's like, no,
if I go to Target Indicator, I will see everyone.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
That's where you should do it. You guys should have
your high school are at Target Aisle five, and then
on the way out, everybody can buy the things they
didn't expect to buy.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
They you have us Starbucks? Yeah, that this could work.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Maybe that's how you get me and Rachel to attend
the twenty years you have it near a Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
We would I love to hear from people who have
actually attended a high school reunion. Did you have the
same thoughts as us, but something changed your mind?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Eight five five Graves zero.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
It was interesting, you know, it's funny how the real
thin girls that were snotty were a little bit heavy,
and how the not so pretty girls did everybody make
fun of were really pretty and worked out and had
good lives and good jobs and good families.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
So I don't know kind of kind of what comes
around goes around, you know.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
Really, yeah, it.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Was interesting, it was interesting. I'm glad I did it.
I'm glad I did it just to see still the
same clique clicks, you know, the same girls. You had
the dope smokers all hanging out, and you had the
pretty princes all hanging out, and you had the geeks
hanging out.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So yeah, yeah, Well, Megan has not been invited to
her high school reunion because they don't plan on doing one.
I've had a couple that have come and gone, and
I didn't go because I feel like the rise in
social media, you already know what everybody's up to anyway.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Yeah, but still, what if there was just one of
your buddies that who you went through something with him,
or he went something with you, and you just really
wanted to say, buddy, thanks a lot for what you did.
I still remember it, and I still talk about it,
and I still think about it. You know, there might
be that one person that you really need to see
(09:27):
for some reason.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So you're saying that people should.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Go absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Good morning, Rebecca.
Speaker 10 (09:34):
We went to our twenty year reunion, and my husband
got the awards for being most changed because when he
started high school he had had an accident and he
weighed ninety one pounds and now he weighs two hundred
and sixty pounds and he is six foot four, so
he got most Changed.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Well, thank you, Rebecca, I hope you have an awesome
day you too, Debbie.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
What's going on forty on the reunion thing, we are
celebrating forty years of my graduating class graduations and we
started at twenty five, and it's always fun to go
and see all the people that you didn't associate with
at the time, and now all of a sudden you
associate with. Everything just changes after years, so it's definitely
(10:23):
a big thing.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So how did that happen? Like what were they doing
in high school that you weren't friends with? And then
how did you become friends?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Now?
Speaker 9 (10:30):
Back in the day, they were the you know, the
calendar girls, they were the homecoming queens and the cheerleaders
and all that good stuff, and I was just this
person in the back and now all of a sudden,
we're all even The last time I went to the
high school reunion I was sitting next to the homecoming queen.
That wouldn't have happened in high school.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Well, you're sweet for calling us today.
Speaker 8 (10:55):
By the way, thank you.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
So you have a great rest of your You.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Consider our table anytime you want.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
Okay, thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
All right, we'll talk to you soon, Debbie.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
All right, have a good day.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
It's How Country are You? On The Spencer Grave Show.
Chris Let's play some How Country are You? Where are
you from? I'm from Asheville on a score of one
the country? How country are you think?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
I'm a nine point two?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Whoa dropping decimal?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Think I'm pretty good?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
We like that.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He leaves a little room for air. Megan's got three
questions for you. We'll give you a real country score
at the end.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Good luck.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Which country icon starred in a sitcom about being a
single mom who works too hard?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Riba fast? Yeah, great job.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
What are the things that you do when you hear
there's going to be bad weather coming through?
Speaker 8 (11:44):
Make sure I've got my clothes on.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
That's all you need.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Chris is typically naked when inclement weather orises. Do you
always check to see if your car windows are up?
Speaker 8 (11:56):
I do because I forget sometimes, or I'll lay on
my keys and the truck windows are just down in
the morning.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And the real dedication is going out and checking.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
While it's boring, I'll send a child nice smart are
here we go?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Last question, Chris.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
If you were to get a Bible verse tattoo, which
verse would you choose?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Maybe you already have one? No, I don't have any.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
I would say Malika three wow, verse.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Nine and ten?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Why Malachi nine and ten?
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I like that verse. It's something that you know.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
It's where God says proved me.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's so interesting because that's not one that a lot
of people hear. You hear Philippians, you hear John three sixteen,
but me, you don't hear that one a lot.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I like that You've put some thought into this. Have
you ever considered getting that tattoo?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I have not.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
You don't put bumper stickers on Corvette.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The country version, buddy, nicely done. Nine point two is
very fitting for you.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Wonderful.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I got a pair of passes for you to check.
How Thomas right?
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Cool?
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Thank you so very much, y'all have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
With the ACMs in the rear view and the drama
that came out of it. So many people were watching
Ella Langley, and when she took stage to get an
award for her song with Riley Green, a lot of
people started to say, there's something going on.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
She opened up about what that week was like for her.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Oh wow, this last week has been probably.
Speaker 11 (13:25):
One of the toughest mental health weeks I've had, which
is crazy because so many good things are happening, so
many things I've prayed for and dreamed about. Just because
I might seem like on the top of the mountain
right now, it doesn't look like that all the time.
And also it's okay to be two things.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I was just actually talking to Lady.
Speaker 10 (13:41):
And Miranda about this.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I was like, my imposters did dremale, Like, what do
you mean?
Speaker 11 (13:44):
How can I'll be in the same category as you two?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
That doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 11 (13:48):
I think it's just about being grateful for what God's
given me in the place that I get to be in.
And it is tough, but tough things are worth's going
through if you want.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
To definitely true you know all of us have said
you just don't know what somebody's going going through until
they open up like Ella did.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, I mean, and I'm sure that is really difficult
to like being you know, one of her big first
and biggest award shows. I'm sure you do have so
much on your mind. And you know, we kind of
joked about it, you know what was going on. You know,
was she upset? You know all the things. But it
is a nice reminder that you don't understand what somebody's
going through unless you truly walked in their shoes.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
And I'm glad to hear that. That's like, I love
when that she came out and said that on her
own instead of just letting people continue to speculate, because
what it looked like from an outsider's perspective was negative.
And now we know how she really feels.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Blair, this would send you into an absolute tizzy since
you're the only one who's married on the Spencer Grave Show.
A most recent wedding had ninety eight bridesmaids but only
eight groomsmen. That's a little overkill, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What is the bride trying to prove here? Like that's absurd.
I mean, at some point you you have to have
a cutoff of your bridle party and it's not at
ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
It's because she considers all ninety eight of them her
best friends, so that's why.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
She doesn't shed an elaborate something. I don't understand the
philosophy behind it at all.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It's a little overkilled, though, and I feel like weddings
is the one time in your life where you can
really go over the top, and a lot of people
don't question it until later down the line. Like when
I was twenty, I went to a wedding from somebody
in high school and they had a full on bagpiper band.
I mean not just one bagpiper, this was like six
(15:35):
of them. And then they had the drums and they
were in the full dress and all that kind and
I asked, I was like, is anybody here Irish?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
And they were like, oh no, we just like bagpipes.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
You would have to have a leave in the little
gift bags that are set on the tables for listening
to that for hours.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
It was wild, horrible, It was wild, but it was
definitely overkilled.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Megan, you went to a wedding with a petting zoo?
I did.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
It was the last one I went to.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
It was on my birthday, too, which sucked, like there
was all these wild animals running around, like pigs, donkeys
plural like multiple donkeys, I think a couple of lamas
goats and they were just released. I mean, were their
habitat was where the wedding was? Were they big animal lovers?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Like?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Was this at a character for the people that were
getting married?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Something for the kids?
Speaker 5 (16:22):
I think that it was mostly because of the wonderful
price that was on the venue.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I think that had something to do with it.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Wait, so if you pay X amount you get a
petting zoo.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
No, if you don't want to spend an arm and
a leg on a wedding, you get a petting zoo.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I just love how there was a couple of donkeys there.
So outside of the groom's uncle who was wasted, he
wasn't the only jackass A five to five grave zero.
What's the most over the top thing you've seen at
a wedding
