Speaker 1 (00:00):
Teresa's hanging on the phone. Have either one of you
ever heard that you should change up your morning routine
to keep your brain fresh and functioning.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Well, no, I've never heard that, though you've heard that, Teresa.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Oh yeah, I do it here every morning. I'll do
the same thing every morning, right, So, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You don't do the same thing every day. It's supposed
to keep your brain sharp. Well, I did something that
was so nerdy today and I've been and I've been
planning this the last couple mornings. So I've had people
in pell City who have told me, hey, you need
to take this way to get to work because it's faster.
Oh no, compared to where I go. So I said,
(00:34):
you know what, today's the day. So a couple days ago,
I went my normal way and I recorded it with
a stopwatch on my phone. Took me six minutes and
thirty five seconds to get from point A to point
B on twenty Okay. Then I took their advice this
morning and I went the other way that they said
was faster, and it took me seven minutes and forty
(00:58):
two seconds point B. So they were all wrong. And
I don't know why I did that. That's like the dumbest,
nerdiest thing I could do.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, you had to know for sure, because you know,
sometimes the faster way it doesn't feel faster, but it is.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So now you know, Teresa, what do you do that's
different in the morning to try to keep your brain sharp?
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I don't eat the sign breakfast every morning, and some
mornings I walked to the office instead of driving down
to the office.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Wow, we come home wonderful. Oh oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I was gonna say, if I try walking from pel
Citing to the office, I'll see you guys on Friday
when I leave on Monday.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the
good good. On the Spencer Grave Show, you gotta be
careful what stickers you put on the back of your car,
because your dreams might actually come true. There was a
woman who was driving down the road when she started
getting honked at and flagged down by a guy in
a truck. She was a little unnerved, but she rolled
(02:01):
down her window and the guy said, I think you
need to pull over. She had no idea tail light out,
flat tire. What's going on? He goes, I think you
just need to pull over. That's when she did. He
walked up to her and said, I have a surprise
for you. Crazy. This woman's probably like, well, this guy
is gonna murder me. Nope. She walked back to his
truck and he had a truck full of goats, the
(02:23):
reason why he flagged her down. She has a sticker
on the back of her car that says, show me
a goat. I'll show you a smile.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Oh my gosh, that is funny.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
That is funny. Ready to have your mind blown. Tim
McGraw's name is not actually Tim McGraw.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's Timothy something.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
He grew up Samuel Timothy Smith until he was eleven,
and then he found out his dad was a famous
baseball player named Tug McGraw. So that's when he switched
and started going as Samuel Timothy McGraw.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
It's actually a really cool backstory.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Cody Jenks his real name. What's Cody Jenks's first.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Name, Codythy.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's actually kind of close. Cody Jenks's real first name
is Meredith. I have questions. I don't think Meredith Jinks
would have gone well, no, Megan, you've been a co
Wetzel fan for a long time. Why doesn't he go
by his real name Roper Madison go Wetzel.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I don't know, because that would have been a really
cool name, Roper Madison's. It sounds like a bull rider name.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Even would be good. Yeah, but Roper as the first
name for a country artist. It's almost Kisman. It was
in the stars, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Though.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
He did an interview saying that his grandma still calls
him Cole on accident. People screw up his name all
the time.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Oh, because of the stage name.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's How country are you? On the Spencer Grave Show? Madison?
Where are you from? I'm from? All right, good luck
to you. Megan's gonna ask you three questions, but first
we need to know how you score yourself on a
score of one the country? How country are you? Probably
six or seven? All right, good luck, go ahead, Megan.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Okay, Madison, can you tell us what BF stands for?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Bump? Perfect?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Okay? Tell us about the last time that you got
lost in the woods.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Probably when I was drunk a teenager.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (04:26):
I don't know, just teenage stuff, you know, at just
some random house, I guess.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
All right, how did you get out of being lost.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I don't know, I really get it all right.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Here we go, final question on how country are you?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
What was the last thing that you fixed using duct tape?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Probably my car window a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You had to tape it all the way up. How
long did it stay taped up? Probably a little over
a year.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
L I've finally fixed it.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
That's about his country as it gets. You gave yourself
a low score. You're an eight point nine today.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Have you guys, ever been in public you've looked at
somebody and they've looked like a really familiar face. And
I'm not just talking about a friend or a celebrity.
I'm talking about your mom. Happened to me yesterday. I
went to Walmart. I was with a coworker. We had
to buy a couple things, and I turned the corner
and I saw this woman who looked just like my mom,
(05:29):
same facial features, everything, And it stopped me in my tracks.
You guys know, but not everybody who's listening knows my mom.
My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when she was fifty
five years old. So I don't have the same normal
relationship that a son has with his aging mother like
most people do. And I get really hyper focused on
(05:52):
Mother's Day because it's a rough weekend for me to
go through. But when I sat and I looked at
the woman, I locked onto her for about thirty seconds.
If she turned around saw me, she would have been like,
what is this weirdo doing? Just staring me down? Has
that ever happened to you? Guys? Eight five five grave zero,
you're out you see the face of somebody who maybe
(06:14):
has passed away or somebody from your family that you
don't get to see on a regular basis.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
I've never had it happen like as clear as what
you're describing. I mean there's been moments where we're like,
oh is that, Oh no, it's not, you know, and
gone about my way. But I will say, had she
turned around and caught you staring, you definitely would have
had to say something because it could have gotten really awkward.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Then what do I say? Like, Hey, how are you wild? Crazy?
But you look just like my mom?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I mean you could just say that like I'm sorry,
you look just like my mom and you know she
has Alzheimer's. So it threw me off for a second,
really made my day to to have that moment, and
she probably would have understood.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, that would have been nice. That would have been nice.
She never turned around. She looked like my mom in
her late thirties, early forties, so like what I remember
my mom looking like when I was a child, and
it did. It took me back to this place where
I just felt a real comfort kind of came over me.
Maybe it was my mom's way of saying like, Hey,
everything's going to be fine. You know, I don't know.
(07:17):
Maybe if I wiped my eyes, done that whole thing
for a little more clarity and I look at the woman,
maybe she didn't actually look like my mom. But I
was very, very happy in that moment. But it's never
happened to you, Blair. You've never looked at somebody and
been like, oh, that's my grandmother who may have passed
away several years ago.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
No, and you know, I do think that this is
a common It's just never happened to me. And I
do think and very firmly believe in godwinks and with
Mother's diaban this weekend, maybe that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
If you guys, have ever seen somebody from your family
or someone who's passed on the face of them on
somebody else A five five grave zero. Did you have
a story similar, Diane.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Fucking nineteen seventy nine, when I was having my first baby,
Hurricane Frederick came through Mobile, Alabama, and I was about
seven months pregnant, and we went up to Mobile and
we stayed in a hotel and when the hurricane came through,
it started blowing off the roof of the hotel and
they put us all on the bottom floor in the hallway.
(08:21):
And when I was sitting in the hallway, I looked
down the hallway and there was a lady just looked
exactly like my mom, except just a little bit younger
than my mom. And it settled me down the rest
of the night while we waited on the hurricane to
come through. It really comforted me that my mom was
there with them.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So what do you think it is? Do you think
it was a godwink like Blair and Megan were saying,
or do you think it actually is just somebody who
looks like your mother?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
No, I think he put her there because you know,
it was my first baby, and I lived in Mobile
and my mom was in New Orleans, and I was
really scared because top of the hotel had blew off
and we was all on the bottom floor in the hallway.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
What a wild story. Well, Diane's thank you very much,
and obviously life has gone better for you and gone
great for you.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Oh yes, I have two daughters now and everything's great.
My mom's fixing the B eighty four. She's as healthy
as can be. She's actually down in Row of Tan
off the coast of Honduras right now around there, since January,
and I'm fixing to go see her. She went down
there for the winter and she won't come home.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I'll stay right here. You can see me.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Yeah, she's down there in the Peggy's her name, and
she's down there whereas nice and warm. She says she
had to get away from this cold winter, but she's
having such a good time she ain't gonna come home now.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Until join Well, Diane, I hope you and your mom
Peggy have a great mother's dame. Thank you for sharing
with us.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
All right, thank you, Paul.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I was just sharing a story about seeing my mom's
face on another person. Has that ever happened to you?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Yes, actually it has. About fifteen years ago, I was
working at wal wad as the cashier, and a gentleman
came through my mind and he looked just like my dad.
But my dad is a younger person, you know, And
so we got to talking and I asked him. I says,
you know, hey, are you related to you know this person?
This person? He says, no, he just happened to look
(10:26):
like my dad. So over the years I found out
that he lived kind of close to me and I
would see him randomly, like at the grocery store. We
would kind of small talk, have a chat whatever. And
over the years, of course you talked about your mom,
you know, with her illness, and my dad had dementia,
and so it was a very difficult, you know, time
(10:46):
for us the last few years when my dad passed
away a year ago. And I still see this gentleman
around and.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
It's so comforting, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
It's good to see him. When I do see him,
it reminds me of my dad.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I love that. Paula. Thank you for very much for
sharing with us today.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
You're welcome. You'll have a good day, you too.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Thank you for hanging on. So have you seen the
face of somebody close to you on someone else?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I personally haven't, but my son did, and he it
was so close enough that he took he asked the
guy for a picture. Oh my god, but it's creepy enough.
It was his girlfriend's grandfather.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh wow.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And when he met him, he stared for he said,
he got quoted for a minute, and he finally told
the gentleman that you look just like my mom's dad.
And my dad had passed away. He's been gone about
fourteen years now, and he was very very accordant to
my son. My son, I don't think they want a
day without seeing each other till he was admitted to
the hospital. Yeah, and he brought the picture home of
(11:46):
this gentleman. We put it side by side of my
dad and it's just uncanny. And what's another thing that
is strange is my We live on a family farm
and my dad had knew a lot of people, and
this gentleman actually knew my father.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
When you think the world's getting big, it's it's still
a small a world.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I love that. Well, thank you very much, have an
awesome day you too. Blair was watching one of her
tiny humans, Corbyn, in a volleyball tournament recently they got
all the way to the championship game eventually lost, but
they did a great job. They won six out of
the seven. But Blair, you actually screamed something at the
girls in the middle of the tournament.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
They expect this from me, Okay, this is not a
surprise to them that at one point in the finals
I yelled at them and said, will you please act
like you want to be here?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Oh my?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
And what's even funnier is I'm one of the calmer parents. Really, yeah,
we take this very seriously. I will say Steve is
the grandparent that shows up and is very supportive. He go, girls,
let's got you got this yay. And then Corbyn's mom Stephanie,
she you know, she'll you know, go team, go team.
(12:58):
But as out of or family, I'm definitely Corbyn's. I'm
the most vocal from Corbin's.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Have you been asked to tone it down before?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
No?
Speaker 5 (13:06):
No, cause See there's always those couple of other parents
that I can count on them being a little bit
more than me.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So it's like, as long as.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I don't surpass them, they'll have to get to those
two before they get to many.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What would they do that would surpass you? Yelling that
at the girls, like cow bell, mom, do you have
one of them? We don't have any cow bells.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
For the most part, when we get heated at the
parents and the grandparents for the volleyball team, it's more
directed like we're going to direct it to our child
or the team. It's not like we have parents that
are yelling at other kids and we all know better,
like we're all those parents that, like, you yell at
my kid, and we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Have the officials. Ever said anything to you guys, because
I know that's a big thing where it's like if
you're a parent and you're showing up your spectator, sit
on your hands, don't say anything. Let the game play out.
That's how I am now. Not in volleyball, Oh they
don't say that in volleyball.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
No, well, and not in volleyball.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Was a referee, I have ever said anything to us
one other sport?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Good God, what's happening, Blair.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
There may have been a basketball game that me, Steve
and Josh all gotta li.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Hetd uh, We're gonna ask you guys to head this way.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Bobby D.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
The Bobby D and me came out a lit little
too much and Corby came up to me after that
game and was like, hey, like, let's not and I
was like, this is Megan.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
You played competitive sports. Were your parents the type that
would get louder unruly?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Oh my gosh. Yeah. My dad was a baseball guy.
Didn't have any sons, so I played softball and he
would get into actual fights on the field like that
was lord, but that was like normal, Like it wasn't
just him. It was like every field there'd be a
fight going on during the game. And it just so
happened that one of the people that were married couple
(14:56):
coaching my team, she just sucked, so he would just
get in a fun I was just saying.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
There are parents who have had to tone down. I
think all of us have seen the dads before at
a little league baseball game. He sits way out in
the outfield as far away from the actual head official
as he can the umpire, and he just sits there.
I mean, there's plenty of parents that do it. Are
you the type of person who has gone to these
events before and gotten a little loud? Eight five five
(15:24):
Grave zero.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Actually got kicked out as a coach for eleven to
twelve baseball one time, would you do well? I had
a child that played on my team. He was borderline
non functioning autistic child, and every time the picture would
throw the ball, no matter where the ball was at,
he would swing, and the opposing coach hollered at his picture,
don't throw the ball across throw the ball across the plight.
The kid's gonna swing at everything. And it went crazy
(15:50):
from there.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah. I don't like that.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Not agree, but including the parents and me and my
assistant coach and aroo tam ended up having the league.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So you got tossed by the umpire because you said
something to the other coach. What did the umpire say
when the coach said, roll it across the.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Plate, let me roll three pictures across the plate and
caled my child out.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, I don't like that.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
It did not go well.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Well, thank you dude, appreciate you. Darn you too.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Man.

to buy a couple things, and I turned the corner
and I saw this woman who looked just like my mom,
(05:29):
same facial features, everything, And it stopped me in my tracks.
You guys know, but not everybody who's listening knows my mom.
My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when she was fifty
five years old. So I don't have the same normal
relationship that a son has with his aging mother like
most people do. And I get really hyper focused on
(05:52):
Mother's Day because it's a rough weekend for me to
go through. But when I sat and I looked at
the woman, I locked onto her for about thirty seconds.
If she turned around saw me, she would have been like,
what is this weirdo doing? Just staring me down? Has
that ever happened to you? Guys? Eight five five grave zero,
you're out you see the face of somebody who maybe
(06:14):
has passed away or somebody from your family that you
don't get to see on a regular basis.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
I've never had it happen like as clear as what
you're describing. I mean there's been moments where we're like,
oh is that, Oh no, it's not, you know, and
gone about my way. But I will say, had she
turned around and caught you staring, you definitely would have
had to say something because it could have gotten really awkward.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Then what do I say? Like, Hey, how are you wild? Crazy?
But you look just like my mom?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I mean you could just say that like I'm sorry,
you look just like my mom and you know she
has Alzheimer's. So it threw me off for a second,
really made my day to to have that moment, and
she probably would have understood.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, that would have been nice. That would have been nice.
She never turned around. She looked like my mom in
her late thirties, early forties, so like what I remember
my mom looking like when I was a child, and
it did. It took me back to this place where
I just felt a real comfort kind of came over me.
Maybe it was my mom's way of saying like, Hey,
everything's going to be fine. You know, I don't know.
(07:17):
Maybe if I wiped my eyes, done that whole thing
for a little more clarity and I look at the woman,
maybe she didn't actually look like my mom. But I
was very, very happy in that moment. But it's never
happened to you, Blair. You've never looked at somebody and
been like, oh, that's my grandmother who may have passed
away several years ago.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
No, and you know, I do think that this is
a common It's just never happened to me. And I
do think and very firmly believe in godwinks and with
Mother's diaban this weekend, maybe that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
If you guys, have ever seen somebody from your family
or someone who's passed on the face of them on
somebody else A five five grave zero. Did you have
a story similar, Diane.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Fucking nineteen seventy nine, when I was having my first baby,
Hurricane Frederick came through Mobile, Alabama, and I was about
seven months pregnant, and we went up to Mobile and
we stayed in a hotel and when the hurricane came through,
it started blowing off the roof of the hotel and
they put us all on the bottom floor in the hallway.
(08:21):
And when I was sitting in the hallway, I looked
down the hallway and there was a lady just looked
exactly like my mom, except just a little bit younger
than my mom. And it settled me down the rest
of the night while we waited on the hurricane to
come through. It really comforted me that my mom was
there with them.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So what do you think it is? Do you think
it was a godwink like Blair and Megan were saying,
or do you think it actually is just somebody who
looks like your mother?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
No, I think he put her there because you know,
it was my first baby, and I lived in Mobile
and my mom was in New Orleans, and I was
really scared because top of the hotel had blew off
and we was all on the bottom floor in the hallway.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
What a wild story. Well, Diane's thank you very much,
and obviously life has gone better for you and gone
great for you.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Oh yes, I have two daughters now and everything's great.
My mom's fixing the B eighty four. She's as healthy
as can be. She's actually down in Row of Tan
off the coast of Honduras right now around there, since January,
and I'm fixing to go see her. She went down
there for the winter and she won't come home.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I'll stay right here. You can see me.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Yeah, she's down there in the Peggy's her name, and
she's down there whereas nice and warm. She says she
had to get away from this cold winter, but she's
having such a good time she ain't gonna come home now.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Until join Well, Diane, I hope you and your mom
Peggy have a great mother's dame. Thank you for sharing
with us.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
All right, thank you, Paul.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I was just sharing a story about seeing my mom's
face on another person. Has that ever happened to you?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Yes, actually it has. About fifteen years ago, I was
working at wal wad as the cashier, and a gentleman
came through my mind and he looked just like my dad.
But my dad is a younger person, you know, And
so we got to talking and I asked him. I says,
you know, hey, are you related to you know this person?
This person? He says, no, he just happened to look
(10:26):
like my dad. So over the years I found out
that he lived kind of close to me and I
would see him randomly, like at the grocery store. We
would kind of small talk, have a chat whatever. And
over the years, of course you talked about your mom,
you know, with her illness, and my dad had dementia,
and so it was a very difficult, you know, time
(10:46):
for us the last few years when my dad passed
away a year ago. And I still see this gentleman
around and.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
It's so comforting, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
It's good to see him. When I do see him,
it reminds me of my dad.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I love that. Paula. Thank you for very much for
sharing with us today.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
You're welcome. You'll have a good day, you too.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Thank you for hanging on. So have you seen the
face of somebody close to you on someone else?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I personally haven't, but my son did, and he it
was so close enough that he took he asked the
guy for a picture. Oh my god, but it's creepy enough.
It was his girlfriend's grandfather.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh wow.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And when he met him, he stared for he said,
he got quoted for a minute, and he finally told
the gentleman that you look just like my mom's dad.
And my dad had passed away. He's been gone about
fourteen years now, and he was very very accordant to
my son. My son, I don't think they want a
day without seeing each other till he was admitted to
the hospital. Yeah, and he brought the picture home of
(11:46):
this gentleman. We put it side by side of my
dad and it's just uncanny. And what's another thing that
is strange is my We live on a family farm
and my dad had knew a lot of people, and
this gentleman actually knew my father.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
When you think the world's getting big, it's it's still
a small a world.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I love that. Well, thank you very much, have an
awesome day you too. Blair was watching one of her
tiny humans, Corbyn, in a volleyball tournament recently they got
all the way to the championship game eventually lost, but
they did a great job. They won six out of
the seven. But Blair, you actually screamed something at the
girls in the middle of the tournament.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
They expect this from me, Okay, this is not a
surprise to them that at one point in the finals
I yelled at them and said, will you please act
like you want to be here?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Oh my?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
And what's even funnier is I'm one of the calmer parents. Really, yeah,
we take this very seriously. I will say Steve is
the grandparent that shows up and is very supportive. He go, girls,
let's got you got this yay. And then Corbyn's mom Stephanie,
she you know, she'll you know, go team, go team.
(12:58):
But as out of or family, I'm definitely Corbyn's. I'm
the most vocal from Corbin's.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Have you been asked to tone it down before?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
No?
Speaker 5 (13:06):
No, cause See there's always those couple of other parents
that I can count on them being a little bit
more than me.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So it's like, as long as.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I don't surpass them, they'll have to get to those
two before they get to many.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What would they do that would surpass you? Yelling that
at the girls, like cow bell, mom, do you have
one of them? We don't have any cow bells.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
For the most part, when we get heated at the
parents and the grandparents for the volleyball team, it's more
directed like we're going to direct it to our child
or the team. It's not like we have parents that
are yelling at other kids and we all know better,
like we're all those parents that, like, you yell at
my kid, and we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Have the officials. Ever said anything to you guys, because
I know that's a big thing where it's like if
you're a parent and you're showing up your spectator, sit
on your hands, don't say anything. Let the game play out.
That's how I am now. Not in volleyball, Oh they
don't say that in volleyball.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
No, well, and not in volleyball.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Was a referee, I have ever said anything to us
one other sport?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Good God, what's happening, Blair.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
There may have been a basketball game that me, Steve
and Josh all gotta li.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Hetd uh, We're gonna ask you guys to head this way.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Bobby D.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
The Bobby D and me came out a lit little
too much and Corby came up to me after that
game and was like, hey, like, let's not and I
was like, this is Megan.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
You played competitive sports. Were your parents the type that
would get louder unruly?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Oh my gosh. Yeah. My dad was a baseball guy.
Didn't have any sons, so I played softball and he
would get into actual fights on the field like that
was lord, but that was like normal, Like it wasn't
just him. It was like every field there'd be a
fight going on during the game. And it just so
happened that one of the people that were married couple
(14:56):
coaching my team, she just sucked, so he would just
get in a fun I was just saying.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
There are parents who have had to tone down. I
think all of us have seen the dads before at
a little league baseball game. He sits way out in
the outfield as far away from the actual head official
as he can the umpire, and he just sits there.
I mean, there's plenty of parents that do it. Are
you the type of person who has gone to these
events before and gotten a little loud? Eight five five
(15:24):
Grave zero.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Actually got kicked out as a coach for eleven to
twelve baseball one time, would you do well? I had
a child that played on my team. He was borderline
non functioning autistic child, and every time the picture would
throw the ball, no matter where the ball was at,
he would swing, and the opposing coach hollered at his picture,
don't throw the ball across throw the ball across the plight.
The kid's gonna swing at everything. And it went crazy
(15:50):
from there.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah. I don't like that.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Not agree, but including the parents and me and my
assistant coach and aroo tam ended up having the league.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So you got tossed by the umpire because you said
something to the other coach. What did the umpire say
when the coach said, roll it across the.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Plate, let me roll three pictures across the plate and
caled my child out.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, I don't like that.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
It did not go well.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Well, thank you dude, appreciate you. Darn you too.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Man.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
We go se
