Speaker 1 (00:00):
Blair and her husband Steve went on a trip recently,
but because it was a short trip, they actually shared
a suitcase. I don't know many people that would actually
do that. Eight five five grave zero. Why'd you guys
decide to share a suitcase for this trip?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, I think the biggest thing was we didn't know
once we got to the hotel what the circumstances was
going to be. And what I mean by that was
we didn't know if we were going to have to leave,
like check our bags at the hotel, like if our
room was going to be ready or not.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
So they don't do that the best Western.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
We had to make this as easy as possible because
it had to be one of those things we may
have to drop our bags and go. And if we
had multiple bags, I have this fear of losing my
suitcase being lost because it's never happened. I'm knocking on
wood if you can't hear right now. And so I
was like, Steve has the best luck in the world,
so if my stuff is in his bag, I'll be okay.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
But see, that's why it would be important for him
to pack his own bag, because then you have a
backup bag. Maybe divide and conquered. You put a couple
things in his bag, He puts a couple things in your.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Bag, and then you guys have to guess finality. Could
never put some stuff in one bag And oh, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I already know because you were giving him flak for
not having a packing cube or something. I don't even
know what those are.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I have purchased so many packing cubes. They are amazing,
by the way. I used to think people were psycho
when they did this, but they are these basically bags
that you put your clothes in, but then you can
zip them up and it basically like condenses the space.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Okay, so you're putting a bag in a bag.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yes, it's for organization, and they really do make a
space way better.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Can you hook it up to a vacuum and suck
out the extra air so it vacuum pack mine?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Not mine.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But I've seen this thing on TikTok that that there's
a carry on bag that does that, and I've been
watching that and I'm like, I might need that. But yeah,
this man didn't put his stuff in a packing cube,
and I was like, Okay, I'm not going to force
this man to put it in a packing cube. But
I am refolding all of this.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I mean all he what is happening is maybe a shirt,
a change underwear, a change of socks, his toiletry items
which he doesn't even have hair, so he doesn't have
to worry about a comb, he doesn't need shampoo, nothing
like that. He's got literally maybe a corner of your bag,
not even the full corner.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So why couldn't that corner at Megan?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
How many best friends do you have?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I have.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Four eight, five, five, Grave, zero, Blair. How many best friends?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
One two three four?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Wow? Five. You guys just numbered off your best friends,
and when you got to the last one that you
thought about, there was a significant pause between that and
the number before.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I didn't pick up on that.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You would go one two three four five. Megan went
one two three four. It's funny to me because I'm
from the world where I believe you can only have
one best friend, and then you can have a bunch
of others that are just good friends, they're close to
being a best friend. I don't think a person is
(03:09):
humanly able to have more than one best friend.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I couldn't disagree with you more as I look at
my best friends there are things that I, as their
best friend, rely on them for that fits for our
friendship where something else it may not. You got to
explain this a couple of my best friends I've known
a lot longer. So when it comes to things that
(03:35):
might be going on in my family that are really
personal and near and dear to me, they were there
when it was all going down, you know, if I'm having,
you know, struggles, because look, I'm a grown woman and
my parents have been divorced for a long time and
there's still things that kind of trigger that. And I
have friends, two of my best friends, that were living
that with me, and so they know more about that
(03:56):
scenario than others that I may have met later on
in life. I also think that best friends come into
your life at different points in your life, because again,
they're your need in a specific friendship changes as you
get older.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Right, So my point about the best friend thing is
I feel like in your life, you come across people
at different stages in your life, just like you said,
who fill a role and fill a need and fill
avoid and they become a really good friend. But if
you look back and you go, who's the person I'm
going to call if I got to get bailed out
of jail, who's the person I'm going to call? If
there's never going to be in judgment and how I
(04:30):
live my life. They completely understand. I feel like that
one person becomes your best friend.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
But see, I don't agree with that because I don't
think that a best friend is always somebody who's feeling
like a need or feeling avoid for you. I think
that it's it could be a variety of things. It's
just like the person that you connect with more than
other people you know that you're friends with, But that
would be the one person thing with no I mean,
for me, I have so many different facets of my life.
(04:59):
I have a best friend that I have in the Army,
which we relate in completely different ways. I have a
best friend from growing up, a best friend from Mississippi,
a best friend in Alabama, And so it's like you
cannot compare these people when they're all they're all a
best friend to you in a different ways, all.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
The ones that you have, because one is the Army,
one's Mississippi, one's Kansas City, one's this, one's that. If
you put them all together collectively, do you look at
one of them and go that person knows me the best.
If I was going to call and I only had
one call, this would be the person that I would call.
That would be your best friend.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
No, they're all there.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
We all have that type of relationship with each other.
That's why there's multiple Like there's not a ranking system.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Maybe it's a guy versus girl thing. Maybe guys are
just more singletary, Like we just have one best friend
and then we have a group of people that we
connect with, but we just have one.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I guess I'm kind of like you, I don't even
have one.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well, you can be my best friend if you want.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I mean I used to have a really close friend
and I mean I guess she'd be my best friend Texas,
but that was crap over maybe six years ago. And
now I moved to Alabama and I do not know
a single person in this state, so I don't have
no friends.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Well, lord, we got to get you some friends.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, totally, because like I feel that I was in
that situation for quite a while when we first started
to show here.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, we did the whole like let's find making the
best friend thing. Yeah, because friend though it was super depressed,
but it's true though, when you get older, it's really
hard to make friends.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I work not shift and I have two kids. I
have a ten month old and a five year old,
and I worked not shift, so during the day I
tried to nap a little bit before I had to
pick the kids up from their schools. And I just
I don't really have time to make friends and or
go out with friends because I try to spend my
off time with my family.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I feel terrible. We haven't even gotten your name yet.
What is it, Mikayla and Michayla. What do you like
to do outside of your family, outside of the kids,
outside of work. What's fun for you?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Anything out doors? Really like hiking outdoors? Yeah, hocking fish
and swimming. I mean, I'm a country person.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So we should get Michayla's phone number. And now that
everybody's heard this, if you are a single woman or
just a woman who enjoys hiking, getting out and you
want to go have a new best friend, Mikayla will
be here outdoor buddy, MICHAELA.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
What part of town do you live in?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I live and steel A.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Call again, so she's south of Birmingham. Yeah, so would
you be cool with that? If we can try to
wrangle you up some friends.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I'm always down for some friends.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I'll meet him very good. Mikayla, hang on, let's get
your phone number. Okay, Okay, I think that'd be a
good idea because it is tough. Megan. You can go
back to what it was like when you moved here
and how hard it was to try to meet people.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's so hard, especially like Mikayla and me with these weird,
unusual work hours. By the time people are off work
at five, she's going into work. Or for me, you know,
I'm at hardy in bed.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, you just got done eating a bunch of snacks
and you're getting ready to hit the disease. All right, go
ahead and call us a five to five Grave zero.
It's how country are you? On the Spencer Grave Show? Sean,
How are you good? How are you good?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Man?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Where are you from?
Speaker 7 (08:26):
I am from Ilkmore, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Let's do it on a scale of one to country.
How country are you? Sewan?
Speaker 7 (08:32):
I must say about a seven and a half eight.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
For anybody that's new to the Spencer Grave Show. We're
gonna ask Sean three questions. We give him a score
at the end. He says that he's a pretty high
number so far, but we'll be the judge of that. Megan,
go for it.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Sean finished this lyric for.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Us, say hey, hey, nacky Christmas lights on knowing my
front lawns on?
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Ye long, let me get a big hell yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Anything else going going? I mean he had the right song,
You just didn't get the right lyrics. You say, though
I'm a redneck.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
Water I don't listen to a whole lot of the
girl right.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Sure, you just happen to be in perfect tune. You're
giving yourself a right man, Hi buddy.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Question number two, Sean tell us what saying your southern
grandpa always used to say to you?
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Oh, hey, tell me to go get switches, because I might.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And if you came back with that was too small,
you knew you were in for an even worse whooping.
Here we got last question.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Whatever I went and got one that was too small?
Felt like you took the whole treating me.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Sean tell us about which family member you have whose
redneck and always seems to be in trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Judging by his last answer, I think it's him.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Oh no, I'll stay out of trouble. I would have
to say my mom's brother, my uncle Donnie. He passed
away two years ago, but whenever he was still here,
Oh man, I was in the box with eighteen and
I would have to call him a cab home because
he'd go in there and just race hail for no reason.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Fly. I'm telling you right now, I think if we
all close our eyes, we can picture his uncle Donnie.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah, and it looks like the form of the Meganary.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Buddy, you got it on the nose today, A solid
eight for you.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Hey, we're bringing Thomas Rhett to Birmingham. We're gonna get
you tickets.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
That sounds good to me. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
When you were a kid or your kids now, did
they ever make an unauthorized purchase caused your credit card
bill to go up a crazy amount of money? A
five to five grave zero? I did when I was
a kid. I don't think Blair and Megan did. But
there was a kid from Wisconsin. Listen to what his
mom said.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I just panicked. And then when I saw what the
number was just about finally, this was just a fluke
thing that happened. So he was being friendly, he was
being kind to his friends. He told me that he
wanted to have a carnival and he was ordering the
dum dums as prozes for his carnival.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So this kid ordered seventy thousand dumb Dums the little lollipops,
and they showed up to the house on a pallet,
and it cost his mom four thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I'd be sending back every single one of those suckers.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So she tried to do it. She called Amazon. She
was like, hey, look, we don't really need these. Four
thousand dollars for a bunch of lollipops is way too much.
Amazon had a true heart about it because they found
out that this young boy just wanted to have a
carnival for his friends and those were the prizes. They
refunded her to the four thousand dollars. Let them keep
the seventy thousand suckers.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I wonder if this is one of those things, like
you know, when a driver or something like that gets
your order on they're not they can't do anything with
it because it's food. So I wonder if like this
really what you know what I mean, if this really
was like, oh, look at us doing something good, or
like hey, we can't do anything with that since it's food.
So let's have a little pr moment.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Do you think that.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
They're trying to find out to like to validate that
this is what happened, because now I'm thinking to myself,
I could be ordering a bunch of snacks and.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Say that my child, I'm so sorry I can't order
these and how and they know her name is litt.
You don't have a child that can get on Amazon
and that you're also on the radio talking about your
snacks all the time.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Just because she doesn't have a postable thumbs doesn't mean
she couldn't click and buy.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
So did your kids ever make an unauthorized purchase? I
did when I was little. There was a thing called
cash on delivery, so you could order things off TV.
You call the number, you order it, They send it
to the post office. Post office sends you a note
says you have a package. You go down, you pay
them the money. The post office is the one that
pays the company. I did it with phishing lures when
(13:06):
I was a kid. Never even used them, still have them.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I forget what game it was, but there was some
game that Colby, who is now sixteen, almost seventeen. He'll
be seventeen in a couple of weeks. He I guess
his mom's credit card was hooked up to a game,
and I genuinely, genuinely don't think he knew like how
much he was charging to her. I mean, you should
have asked regardless, but Stephanie got her credit card bill
(13:31):
and it wasn't a good day.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Were a month. Don't even know what they're doing, Like
they're just tapping away on their iPad with like roadblocks
and all that kind of stuff, and their parents are
just getting charged. If your kid's ever made an unauthorized purchase,
or when you were a kid, you did it to
your parents A five to five grave zero Crystal's and McCalla,
what's going on?
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Well, my daughter back when you get charged to choke
on the cell phone until it was after nine and
then you got free. I wound up with a twelve
hundred dollars phone bill, twelve hundred dollars to pull her head,
twelve hundred dollar phone bill, cell phone bill. I wanted
to pull her head off.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
As you should said, she's talking to boys, talking to Justin.
Justin always Adjustin does Jay names. I'm Tony can't trust them.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
It's true.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
There, I am, but they've been married for years now
and they have our beautiful children and they're doing great.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Oh so it was an early investment in love.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
I'm all right, but it costs me.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Has he paid you back for that?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
In anyway, In many way.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Hey took her off her hands.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
We can put together to send you.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
I got that bill and I was like, oh my god,
I'm pixing the kyou Crystal.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Thank you, dear. We appreciate your time. Thank you, ladies
and gentlemen. She wants to be anonymous. She says, it's embarrassing.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Why because my brother used to steal the Direct TV
cards that come in the old boxes inappropriate. He would
steal mine inappropriate movies and then put it back in
My boss out there, I was there.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Oh, oh my gosh. Oh that's funny. Sounds like it
sounds like not only is an unauthorized purchase, but it's
also a great prank on your sister.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
We always got to get him back. Hope you got
him back really really good.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Oh yes, of course, Spencer.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
This weekend, when you were driving home late from your tournament,
were you starting to get sleepy behind the wheel I did.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I had a very busy day on Saturday. So I
had the tournament bright and early in the morning, late Demopolis.
It's several hours south. It's just below Tuscaloosa. And I
was driving back, and then we had Winefest. I ended
up getting a flat tire. All these things were going on,
So I was up at three o'clock in the morning
at Winefest until about ten thirty, and then I was
driving home. So I got really, really, really tired on
(15:50):
the drive home.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Do you do anything to try to stay awake? Because
I don't know why, but literally, like nothing, nothing works,
and maybe there's a hack and I need to learn.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Well, what do you do? Because I turned the windows down,
I usually turn the music up and I stick my
head out like a dog.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
That's weird, stick your head out in the window.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, Like, I don't know why, but the rush of
fresh air hitting my face I love.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I Yeah, maybe I should try that.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Maybe any well, what do you do? My seat up
as high as it can go to reach the window.
If you get tired while you're driving, what do you
normally do?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
People usually try to call me and they're like, you know,
trying to be nice, like I'll talk to you while
you're driving, keep you up. That puts me to sleep,
so I just roll down the windows. But nothing really helps.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I know some people they like they set up on
the wheel a little more and they turn off. Some
like driving rock, like Metallica Fuel or something like that. Blair,
what do you do if you get tired of driving?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I'm a person that I'll describe something and start eating.
So whether that's going through the drive through, whether I
have snacks in the car or something like that. If
I'm eating, I will not fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
God, could you imagine Blair pulls up to a drive through,
She's so tired, she falls asleep in the middle of
the drive through and then blocks the lane from everybody else.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
At that point, I'm already smelling the fries or the tacos,
and it's like I'm invested.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Maybe there's people that have other ways to keep themselves
awake while they're driving. It happens to everybody. Eight five
five grave zero
