Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sierra, What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I was just calling in.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
What time do I call for the How Country are You?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
And could share with you that we play at five
forty five and eight ten every morning. Okay, where do
you listen to us?
Speaker 4 (00:13):
I listened to you from Huntland, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Nice, Yes, sir, and I love the show.
Speaker 5 (00:19):
I tried a few times calling in, but I've always
missed y'all.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Well, we're here anytime you need us. Is How Country
are You? Your favorite game?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Though it is I've never played.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We're going to make that change. Well, thank you, Sierra.
I really appreciate you listening.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Yes, sir, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Have a good day you as well.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Bye bye.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the
good good on the Spencer Grave Show. So many of
us have played sports as children, or you might be
the parent of a kid who's playing. Now, how about
when a little league umpire in baseball suffers a heart attack?
What do you do? Well? There happened to be a
woman there who's a doctor. She was watching her son
(01:01):
play baseball. She performed CPR for several minutes, and she
got him back to life. Emergency responders showed up. He
was rushed off to the hospital. They plan to say
that he will make a full recovery. Awesome that Jen
was there. A friend of mine is looking for his
uncle in Texas. It's so wild how the Texas flooding
(01:23):
is hitting so close to home. We had a girl
from Mountain Brook who passed away in the Texas flooding.
The death toll is now up over one hundred and
forty people are still unaccounted for. It was incredible to
hear that one story of the Coastguard member who did
his first ever rescue mission and he accounted for one
hundred and sixty five lives that he saved from the
(01:45):
Texas flood. I mean, talk about her heroism like crazy Blair.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Mahart just completely breaks every time I get an update from.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Texas because you know, and this may.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Sound harsh or not the perfect way to say it,
but I mean, losing lives anytime is horrible.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
But when I hear the stories of these little kids.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
It just it makes me want to see my tiny
humans and hold them a little bit tighter.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It's gut wrenching, for sure. And then people are getting
asked from all different angles like how they can help,
and you don't know where your money might be going
because there's so many scams that are out there. We
have vetted a few organizations. If you go to Communityfoundation
dot net and you make a donation there, it's completely
safe and it's going to the right efforts. There's so
(02:35):
many things that have to do. You know, for a
while it was rescue. Now it's recovery, and a lot
of that are happening in very remote areas of Texas.
So community foundation dot net if you want to. But
you're right, Blair. When it's children, it hits much different
than it does in other situations.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
I mean, I remember hearing the news and we were
out of town and I just needed to get home
to see my baby. And I did catch myself once
I got home, spending like a little bit longer with
the kids of just like wanting to lay my eyes
on them and just hug them. Of course, the seventeen
year old, he wasn't all about it, but that's okay.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I was like, just hug me, just give me a bit.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
He'll understand as life goes on. But you guys have
been so awesome every time we've asked you guys to
step up to the plate. You've done so we're asking
you yet again, go to Community Foundation dot net and
help out today. So we had somebody at the radio
station that took bathroom camping a little too far, Blair,
What do you mean bathroom camping? For those that don't know,
(03:36):
and I know parents know this, maybe grandparents do this too,
It's when you go to a place in the house,
mainly the bathroom, just to get away from either your spouse,
your children, your in laws. You just need a break.
You don't have to use it, you just need to
get away. That's bathroom camping.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I'm sure I net to know what Which of our
coworkers needed a break from? What other coworker?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Somebody fell asleep in the men's room, and I went
into the men's room, and you know, when you go
into the bathroom, you can hear just regular sounds right.
I'm not gonna get graphic or anything like that. Their
bathroom sounds right. This one wasn't. This was somebody going.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
How unfortunate of all the places I would want to nap,
that's not it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Listen, there's people listening to the Spencer Grave show had
fallen asleep on the toilet before it happens.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Oh, I'm sure that happens. It hasn't happened to me.
I'm proud to say.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, very good, Blair, nicely done. Eight five five graves zero.
Where do you go to get away? Though it may
not be bathroom camping? I know a mom who hides
in the pantry every once in a while when her
kids are getting out of control. She just needs to
break She's heard mama a thousand times before noon, so
(04:54):
she just slips off into the pantry and closes the
door and just hangs out, looks at her phone, rolls Instagram,
plays a game, does something like that. She likes to
camp out in the pantry. What about you?
Speaker 6 (05:06):
I go, Luckily, our gym is less than a half
a mile from our house, and I will go to
the gym.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You do not. You leave your house where your tiny
humans are and you'll go to the gym.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I'm like, I need a minute, I need a minute.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Do you need to work out her? And you just
go sit in the parking lot.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
No, I'll go and I'll we have like a walking
track upstairs, and I'll just walk the track, walk it off,
Like I'm just like I need a minute. Steve goes
to his man cave. He's like, He's like, I'm going
out to the doghouse.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Just leave me.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He locked the door.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Now he doesn't lock the door, but and a lot
of times he won't announce it verbally outside because the
tiny humans want to go to the doghouse too.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
It's an Irish exit.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah, it's an Irish exit.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
And I just know if I haven't seen him for
a few minutes, I know where he's at.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Eight five five Graves zero. Where where do you go
to get away from the kids?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'm calling from Fiel.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
What's up, Carol?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So are you a parent?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I am?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
How old are your children?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I had a seventeen year old boy and a thirteen
year old girl.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
When they were younger. Where did you go to get
away from them?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Probably the bathroom?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
How long would you sit in Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I think it may just depend on the reason, but
at least ten minutes, like at least.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
At the very last the minimum is ten. It could
be plus or minus five. What were some of the
reasons that you had to get away from them, Carol?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Eat a snack, to just a mental break. Sometimes they
would argue, and I would just go in the bathroom
and just let them work it out. You know, different reasons.
I'd find a reason.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Would you announce that you were going to the bathroom
or would you just irish exit and slip off.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I would slip off and close my bedroom door.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And you have to do a real slow and real
quiet like when you close your door, you have to
turn the knob in order to not make any noise
with the actual Yeah, like you are turning into a
secret service member who's undercover when.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Your kids are try this, it's the moment, of course. Course, yeah, no,
noises will be bleeding through. They think something serious is
going on. They're going to leave you a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I am a little nervous about Carol leading a snack
when she goes into the bathroom. I would have thought
that would have been a pantry thing, but.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
No, that's why you turn the exhaust fan on so
they can't hear the rapper.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Love it, Carol, Thank you very much. Hope you have
a great day.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Thanks you'll have a good one.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
What can we do for you, Elizabeth?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I was hearing the conversation on the radio this morning.
I'm a parent myself of a three year old and
a one year old.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Now, there was a woman that went to Spence a
Grave show on Facebook and she said parents would go
to the bathroom. That's crazy. Your kids just follow you
in there.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Yeah, they really do.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So what do you Where do you go?
Speaker 6 (08:09):
I go?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I have a back patio room, so I go in there.
I'm able to leave. I've got a main door and
then a screen door. I'll leave the screen door open
so I.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Can hear them right.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Put them on the bed, put on a movie, and
just go out there and take my moment.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
See. I always think, like, man, leaving the house would
be such a good idea. But then you're like, I'm
still a parent, still got to make sure they can
function and they're still alive. So I got to be
with an earshot. But you just want to take a
couple of minutes to yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
You don't need to be nervous when the kids are screaming.
You need to be nervous when they get quiet.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I'll do it, you sure do. I'll go out there
sometimes and when it goes quiet, I know like there's
going to be sharpie on the wall, or there's gonna
be baby powder all over the place.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Something they're playing in the toilets?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What is happening at your house?
Speaker 5 (09:10):
There are rules?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So well, thank you, Elizabeth. We really appreciate you, and
thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It's how country are you? On the Spencer Grave Show, Wendy,
Where are you from? Nice? Do you live in the
city or are you in Madison County? Outside in the
Berg County? We're we're in the county And to people
look at you, she's fancy living out in Tony.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Yeah, they get me some country right there. It definitely
starts you out on the right foot. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
All right. Tell everybody what your self assessment is on
a scale of one of the country, our country are you?
I will think I'm about an eight. That's a high. No,
I get it. But I mean anybody who says I
think I'm about it? Okay, I'm gonna ask you three
(10:09):
questions and then we'll give you a score at the end.
This one's really easy. What does the company ariat make
Ariot boots nice? It's like jeans, apparel, jackets, stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
It's important.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Correct. Boots are what they're known for other than y'all.
What word always makes you realize someone is southerns Yeah,
it's not bad. I always go to a phrase when
people say they're fixing to like I'm fixing to get
into a brawl. I'm fixing I hear that, I immediately
(10:46):
go that person is about a Southern as.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
It gets like, I'm at scary.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I'm fixing to be frightened. All right, here we go.
How does a redneck beat the heat? A little kitty
pool with a laun chair in it and or a
tarp in the back of a pickup truck filled with water.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
That's the best way.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Roadside hot tub. Nothing wrong with that. Listen, These sleeves
aren't gonna cut themselves, you know what I mean? Yeah, exactly,
A good shirt can be sleeveless real fast, second, real fast,
Just rip them off. She said she was about an eight.
She's right, she's an eight point seven.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Okay, I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I put this up on my story on Instagram at
mister Spencer Graves yesterday. But I had this feeling that
there could be a huge benefit concert that comes out
of the floods in Texas, you know, in North Carolina
when we had Hurricane Helene, in western North Carolina saw
all that crazy devastation that happened there and the loss
of life that took place. We're seeing something very similar
(11:49):
in Texas. And who stepped up but native born North
Carolinians Eric Church and Luke Combs. They raised over twenty
six million dollars when they put on a concert, and
they had other famous Carolinians that were there too, like
James Taylor and several other people. Can you imagine a
benefit show in Texas with I'm just gonna throw three
names out there, George Strait, Cody Johnson, Parker McCollum.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
No, it would be fantastic, And I wouldn't be shocked
if something is already being discussed. I think there's when
things like this happen. Obviously, it takes time to put
something together, but I also think it's like when is
the appropriate time to announce it?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
You know, it's so.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah right now?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Is not?
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
And so I would not be surprised in the least
if after some time passes, if we don't hear about something.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Because again I've said it before, I'll say it again.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Country artists that are just built different, they're just they
want to get back to the communities that you know,
help shape them, and so yeah, I expect something to come.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And they have for years. I mean Rock the Country
started out as that, you know, Rock the South that
we have right here in our backyard, start out as
a benefit show, and it's the same thing like music
as this special way of healing people. You remember Boo
Bash last year where a woman came from across the
world just as east that time. She was in Texas
(13:16):
this weekend and was in the middle all of these storms,
and she sent me a message and she was like,
you wouldn't believe just how often we turn to just
listening to music to kind of give us a break
you're dealing with down here.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
You know, Bobby d my dad, he has a lot
of family all over the state of Texas, and of
course he called checked in on everybody, and we're very
fortunate that you know, our family isn't directly.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Impacted, but they know people that are.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
And that's the first thing they said to him was
we are leaning on Jesus Christ and music because that's
all we have right now.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Good things to lean on. For sure. You guys can
help out Community Foundation dot net. It happens every year
after fourth of July. But your neighbors always like to
celebrate July fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth In years past, Blair,
(14:11):
I've seen people that have celebrated all the way through
the fifteenth of July. But I'm proud to say no
one has set off fireworks in my neighborhood in the
last two nights.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Yeah, so we're safe from this too.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
But I would like everyone to know that my neighborhood,
because I guess they just really wanted to make sure
that people knew they were patriotic.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
We started celebrating June twenty ninth.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Okay, so what's worse celebrating early or celebrating way late.
I would say celebrating late is worse, No, because.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
I guess my thought process is like the late I've
grown accustomed to, Like, we know it's going to linger
for a couple of days. I mean, whether it's because
you didn't set them all off the night of or
you got a really good deal because they marked them
down afterwards. But June twenty ninth, we don't need to
prove nothing. We know you're patriotic, we know it's coming.
(15:07):
We don't need to prove nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I leave Greenwood. Take it easy over there.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Thank you out.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We're proud.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
We can be proud in our homes quietly.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I wonder because normally this is in the case right
every year somebody's shooting them off late. Where they're shooting
them off early. I wonder if there's actually people that
are like, well, that's your experience in your neighborhoods, not
in mine. I got neighbors still shooting these things off.
The heck today, I'm leaving to go to work and
they're blasting them off in the front yard eight five
five brave zero. That would be nuts, wouldn't it. But
(15:39):
kind of nice. You get your own fireworks show as
you're driving to go get your first cup of coffee.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Thank you for trying to stay optimistic here.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
But no, neighbor's still shooting out fireworks a little.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Bit, not bad bad because you know we're country out here,
so yeah, we shoot them off when it's not Fourth
of July. Our neighbors, our neighbors. The drive across the road.
When he was still alive, his thing was dynamite. He
shoot off sticks to.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Dynamone and his finger at the same time.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
He could No, he didn't lose his fingers. I saw
plenty of in that er.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I mean, that's the thing, like you're shooting off fireworks,
especially in the country, like you're just having a good
old time. You get some blocks of Tanner, right, and
you just go out and have a ball as well.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
No, that doesn't easily, but he knocked a couple of
pictures off our wall. That's what I'm good Like twelve
twelve o'clock New Year's Eve, he would do the same thing.
God risk his soul in another.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
That's another great holiday to shoot off fireworks. I think
any holiday is firework approved.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Absolutely absolutely, Blair, Where's your new person?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Su Spencer?
Speaker 6 (16:48):
I saw Ella Lingley was doing an interview and they
asked her an interesting question that I want to turn
around and ask you. They asked her if she could
ask any country artist one question, what would it be?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Now?
Speaker 6 (17:01):
She landed on asking Eric Church specifically about his glasses.
Is it a prescription glasses? Is it something he has
to have? Did he accidently, you know, get to the
point where he has to wear this on stage every night?
And I mean, I think that's very interesting. I mean
because I would love to know that. Who is somebody
you would want to ask a question to and what
would the question be?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Well, you know, the number one question I like to
ask people is if they're missing a digit or something's
jacked up with one of their limbs. I always like
to know what the story is behind that.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Sure, But I mean I'm talking specific country artists.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
That's the thing. I don't know anybody in country music
that has a missing digit, Like I don't know anybody
with four fingers. I would probably want to ask Dolly
Parton what her career was like in her estimation. We
all saw it, we've all witnessed it. But how hard
was it for her who told her no multiple times?
Because we hear that all the time. Like glu Comb
(17:52):
said famously, his first five number ones were all told
to him by one guy that they'll never be a hit.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Yeah, it's interesting that you go, Dolly Parton. I actually
want to ask George straight a question. I want to ask.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Him he's a married man.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Okay, well, I mean he's a beautiful married man.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
But do you still enjoy performing like you once do?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Did?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
I should say?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Give what gives you the indication that he doesn't do?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I think that he still likes going and doing it
every now and then absolutely do I think that somebody
like George Strait that's been doing it for so long
looks and says, this is totally different than how I
used to perform.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
I'm in stadiums now, not smaller venues.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I'm you know, it's just so different that I wish
I could honestly ask him is there still as much
passion as there once was?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I do like the question that I ask every once
in a while of artists who have been doing it
for a long time, like Brooks and Dunn, what's the
song you're tired of playing?
Speaker 6 (18:55):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Yeah, because you know they all have.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
You can't tell me that Ella Langleyne Raley Green aren't
tired of you look like.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You love Yeah. But it's so new, like it's within
two years. Right. Imagine you're Tracy Bird and every night
you're known, you gotta play Watermelon Crawl.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Literally for the It's like when you're doing a set
list and you hear people like Morgan Wallen and Luke Homb's,
you know, speak out on this of like, Hey, I'm
not gonna make everybody happy because I've got to remove
certain things from the set list. It's like, no, Tracy
you cannot remove watermelon crawl.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Tracy Bird probably has written in his will somewhere at
my funeral, do not play watermelon crawl.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Do not let someone mention it.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You guys can play along while you're in the car. Blair,
I'm gonna give you the name of a country artist.
I want you to tell me the first song that
comes to mind. Are you ready?
Speaker 5 (19:44):
I am ready.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You guys just screaming out in your car. Brooks and
Dunn neon Moon, Florida, Georgia line cruise Easy, Dan and Shay.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Ooh, all to myself?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Wow, I had to take you so long With Dan Shay,
I would have ripped aequila real fast.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Well. I was thinking about that, should come to bed,
and then I was like, no, it's.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
All to myself.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
No, but you've got to say the first one that
pops to your mind. It's not your favorite. We're not
trying to break it down.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
But I couldn't think of the name of the ault
my all to bed, all to bed, come to bed,
So I had to go with all of myself
Sierra, What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I was just calling in.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
What time do I call for the How Country are You?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
And could share with you that we play at five
forty five and eight ten every morning. Okay, where do
you listen to us?
Speaker 4 (00:13):
I listened to you from Huntland, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Nice, Yes, sir, and I love the show.
Speaker 5 (00:19):
I tried a few times calling in, but I've always
missed y'all.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Well, we're here anytime you need us. Is How Country
are You? Your favorite game?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Though it is I've never played.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We're going to make that change. Well, thank you, Sierra.
I really appreciate you listening.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Yes, sir, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Have a good day you as well.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Bye bye.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the
good good on the Spencer Grave Show. So many of
us have played sports as children, or you might be
the parent of a kid who's playing. Now, how about
when a little league umpire in baseball suffers a heart attack?
What do you do? Well? There happened to be a
woman there who's a doctor. She was watching her son
(01:01):
play baseball. She performed CPR for several minutes, and she
got him back to life. Emergency responders showed up. He
was rushed off to the hospital. They plan to say
that he will make a full recovery. Awesome that Jen
was there. A friend of mine is looking for his
uncle in Texas. It's so wild how the Texas flooding
(01:23):
is hitting so close to home. We had a girl
from Mountain Brook who passed away in the Texas flooding.
The death toll is now up over one hundred and
forty people are still unaccounted for. It was incredible to
hear that one story of the Coastguard member who did
his first ever rescue mission and he accounted for one
hundred and sixty five lives that he saved from the
(01:45):
Texas flood. I mean, talk about her heroism like crazy Blair.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Mahart just completely breaks every time I get an update from.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Texas because you know, and this may.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Sound harsh or not the perfect way to say it,
but I mean, losing lives anytime is horrible.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
But when I hear the stories of these little kids.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
It just it makes me want to see my tiny
humans and hold them a little bit tighter.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It's gut wrenching, for sure. And then people are getting
asked from all different angles like how they can help,
and you don't know where your money might be going
because there's so many scams that are out there. We
have vetted a few organizations. If you go to Communityfoundation
dot net and you make a donation there, it's completely
safe and it's going to the right efforts. There's so
(02:35):
many things that have to do. You know, for a
while it was rescue. Now it's recovery, and a lot
of that are happening in very remote areas of Texas.
So community foundation dot net if you want to. But
you're right, Blair. When it's children, it hits much different
than it does in other situations.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
I mean, I remember hearing the news and we were
out of town and I just needed to get home
to see my baby. And I did catch myself once
I got home, spending like a little bit longer with
the kids of just like wanting to lay my eyes
on them and just hug them. Of course, the seventeen
year old, he wasn't all about it, but that's okay.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I was like, just hug me, just give me a bit.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
He'll understand as life goes on. But you guys have
been so awesome every time we've asked you guys to
step up to the plate. You've done so we're asking
you yet again, go to Community Foundation dot net and
help out today. So we had somebody at the radio
station that took bathroom camping a little too far, Blair,
What do you mean bathroom camping? For those that don't know,
(03:36):
and I know parents know this, maybe grandparents do this too,
It's when you go to a place in the house,
mainly the bathroom, just to get away from either your spouse,
your children, your in laws. You just need a break.
You don't have to use it, you just need to
get away. That's bathroom camping.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I'm sure I net to know what Which of our
coworkers needed a break from? What other coworker?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Somebody fell asleep in the men's room, and I went
into the men's room, and you know, when you go
into the bathroom, you can hear just regular sounds right.
I'm not gonna get graphic or anything like that. Their
bathroom sounds right. This one wasn't. This was somebody going.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
How unfortunate of all the places I would want to nap,
that's not it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Listen, there's people listening to the Spencer Grave show had
fallen asleep on the toilet before it happens.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Oh, I'm sure that happens. It hasn't happened to me.
I'm proud to say.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, very good, Blair, nicely done. Eight five five graves zero.
Where do you go to get away? Though it may
not be bathroom camping? I know a mom who hides
in the pantry every once in a while when her
kids are getting out of control. She just needs to
break She's heard mama a thousand times before noon, so
(04:54):
she just slips off into the pantry and closes the
door and just hangs out, looks at her phone, rolls Instagram,
plays a game, does something like that. She likes to
camp out in the pantry. What about you?
Speaker 6 (05:06):
I go, Luckily, our gym is less than a half
a mile from our house, and I will go to
the gym.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You do not. You leave your house where your tiny
humans are and you'll go to the gym.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I'm like, I need a minute, I need a minute.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Do you need to work out her? And you just
go sit in the parking lot.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
No, I'll go and I'll we have like a walking
track upstairs, and I'll just walk the track, walk it off,
Like I'm just like I need a minute. Steve goes
to his man cave. He's like, He's like, I'm going
out to the doghouse.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Just leave me.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He locked the door.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Now he doesn't lock the door, but and a lot
of times he won't announce it verbally outside because the
tiny humans want to go to the doghouse too.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
It's an Irish exit.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah, it's an Irish exit.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
And I just know if I haven't seen him for
a few minutes, I know where he's at.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Eight five five Graves zero. Where where do you go
to get away from the kids?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'm calling from Fiel.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
What's up, Carol?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So are you a parent?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I am?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
How old are your children?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I had a seventeen year old boy and a thirteen
year old girl.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
When they were younger. Where did you go to get
away from them?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Probably the bathroom?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
How long would you sit in Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I think it may just depend on the reason, but
at least ten minutes, like at least.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
At the very last the minimum is ten. It could
be plus or minus five. What were some of the
reasons that you had to get away from them, Carol?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Eat a snack, to just a mental break. Sometimes they
would argue, and I would just go in the bathroom
and just let them work it out. You know, different reasons.
I'd find a reason.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Would you announce that you were going to the bathroom
or would you just irish exit and slip off.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I would slip off and close my bedroom door.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And you have to do a real slow and real
quiet like when you close your door, you have to
turn the knob in order to not make any noise
with the actual Yeah, like you are turning into a
secret service member who's undercover when.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Your kids are try this, it's the moment, of course. Course, yeah, no,
noises will be bleeding through. They think something serious is
going on. They're going to leave you a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I am a little nervous about Carol leading a snack
when she goes into the bathroom. I would have thought
that would have been a pantry thing, but.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
No, that's why you turn the exhaust fan on so
they can't hear the rapper.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Love it, Carol, Thank you very much. Hope you have
a great day.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Thanks you'll have a good one.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
What can we do for you, Elizabeth?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I was hearing the conversation on the radio this morning.
I'm a parent myself of a three year old and
a one year old.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Now, there was a woman that went to Spence a
Grave show on Facebook and she said parents would go
to the bathroom. That's crazy. Your kids just follow you
in there.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Yeah, they really do.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So what do you Where do you go?
Speaker 6 (08:09):
I go?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I have a back patio room, so I go in there.
I'm able to leave. I've got a main door and
then a screen door. I'll leave the screen door open
so I.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Can hear them right.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Put them on the bed, put on a movie, and
just go out there and take my moment.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
See. I always think, like, man, leaving the house would
be such a good idea. But then you're like, I'm
still a parent, still got to make sure they can
function and they're still alive. So I got to be
with an earshot. But you just want to take a
couple of minutes to yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
You don't need to be nervous when the kids are screaming.
You need to be nervous when they get quiet.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I'll do it, you sure do. I'll go out there
sometimes and when it goes quiet, I know like there's
going to be sharpie on the wall, or there's gonna
be baby powder all over the place.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Something they're playing in the toilets?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What is happening at your house?
Speaker 5 (09:10):
There are rules?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So well, thank you, Elizabeth. We really appreciate you, and
thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It's how country are you? On the Spencer Grave Show, Wendy,
Where are you from? Nice? Do you live in the
city or are you in Madison County? Outside in the
Berg County? We're we're in the county And to people
look at you, she's fancy living out in Tony.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Yeah, they get me some country right there. It definitely
starts you out on the right foot. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
All right. Tell everybody what your self assessment is on
a scale of one of the country, our country are you?
I will think I'm about an eight. That's a high. No,
I get it. But I mean anybody who says I
think I'm about it? Okay, I'm gonna ask you three
(10:09):
questions and then we'll give you a score at the end.
This one's really easy. What does the company ariat make
Ariot boots nice? It's like jeans, apparel, jackets, stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
It's important.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Correct. Boots are what they're known for other than y'all.
What word always makes you realize someone is southerns Yeah,
it's not bad. I always go to a phrase when
people say they're fixing to like I'm fixing to get
into a brawl. I'm fixing I hear that, I immediately
(10:46):
go that person is about a Southern as.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
It gets like, I'm at scary.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I'm fixing to be frightened. All right, here we go.
How does a redneck beat the heat? A little kitty
pool with a laun chair in it and or a
tarp in the back of a pickup truck filled with water.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
That's the best way.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Roadside hot tub. Nothing wrong with that. Listen, These sleeves
aren't gonna cut themselves, you know what I mean? Yeah, exactly,
A good shirt can be sleeveless real fast, second, real fast,
Just rip them off. She said she was about an eight.
She's right, she's an eight point seven.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Okay, I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I put this up on my story on Instagram at
mister Spencer Graves yesterday. But I had this feeling that
there could be a huge benefit concert that comes out
of the floods in Texas, you know, in North Carolina
when we had Hurricane Helene, in western North Carolina saw
all that crazy devastation that happened there and the loss
of life that took place. We're seeing something very similar
(11:49):
in Texas. And who stepped up but native born North
Carolinians Eric Church and Luke Combs. They raised over twenty
six million dollars when they put on a concert, and
they had other famous Carolinians that were there too, like
James Taylor and several other people. Can you imagine a
benefit show in Texas with I'm just gonna throw three
names out there, George Strait, Cody Johnson, Parker McCollum.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
No, it would be fantastic, And I wouldn't be shocked
if something is already being discussed. I think there's when
things like this happen. Obviously, it takes time to put
something together, but I also think it's like when is
the appropriate time to announce it?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
You know, it's so.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah right now?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Is not?
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (12:33):
And so I would not be surprised in the least
if after some time passes, if we don't hear about something.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Because again I've said it before, I'll say it again.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Country artists that are just built different, they're just they
want to get back to the communities that you know,
help shape them, and so yeah, I expect something to come.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And they have for years. I mean Rock the Country
started out as that, you know, Rock the South that
we have right here in our backyard, start out as
a benefit show, and it's the same thing like music
as this special way of healing people. You remember Boo
Bash last year where a woman came from across the
world just as east that time. She was in Texas
(13:16):
this weekend and was in the middle all of these storms,
and she sent me a message and she was like,
you wouldn't believe just how often we turn to just
listening to music to kind of give us a break
you're dealing with down here.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
You know, Bobby d my dad, he has a lot
of family all over the state of Texas, and of
course he called checked in on everybody, and we're very
fortunate that you know, our family isn't directly.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Impacted, but they know people that are.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
And that's the first thing they said to him was
we are leaning on Jesus Christ and music because that's
all we have right now.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Good things to lean on. For sure. You guys can
help out Community Foundation dot net. It happens every year
after fourth of July. But your neighbors always like to
celebrate July fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth In years past, Blair,
(14:11):
I've seen people that have celebrated all the way through
the fifteenth of July. But I'm proud to say no
one has set off fireworks in my neighborhood in the
last two nights.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Yeah, so we're safe from this too.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
But I would like everyone to know that my neighborhood,
because I guess they just really wanted to make sure
that people knew they were patriotic.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
We started celebrating June twenty ninth.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Okay, so what's worse celebrating early or celebrating way late.
I would say celebrating late is worse, No, because.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
I guess my thought process is like the late I've
grown accustomed to, Like, we know it's going to linger
for a couple of days. I mean, whether it's because
you didn't set them all off the night of or
you got a really good deal because they marked them
down afterwards. But June twenty ninth, we don't need to
prove nothing. We know you're patriotic, we know it's coming.
(15:07):
We don't need to prove nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I leave Greenwood. Take it easy over there.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Thank you out.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We're proud.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
We can be proud in our homes quietly.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I wonder because normally this is in the case right
every year somebody's shooting them off late. Where they're shooting
them off early. I wonder if there's actually people that
are like, well, that's your experience in your neighborhoods, not
in mine. I got neighbors still shooting these things off.
The heck today, I'm leaving to go to work and
they're blasting them off in the front yard eight five
five brave zero. That would be nuts, wouldn't it. But
(15:39):
kind of nice. You get your own fireworks show as
you're driving to go get your first cup of coffee.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Thank you for trying to stay optimistic here.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
But no, neighbor's still shooting out fireworks a little.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Bit, not bad bad because you know we're country out here,
so yeah, we shoot them off when it's not Fourth
of July. Our neighbors, our neighbors. The drive across the road.
When he was still alive, his thing was dynamite. He
shoot off sticks to.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Dynamone and his finger at the same time.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
He could No, he didn't lose his fingers. I saw
plenty of in that er.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I mean, that's the thing, like you're shooting off fireworks,
especially in the country, like you're just having a good
old time. You get some blocks of Tanner, right, and
you just go out and have a ball as well.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
No, that doesn't easily, but he knocked a couple of
pictures off our wall. That's what I'm good Like twelve
twelve o'clock New Year's Eve, he would do the same thing.
God risk his soul in another.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
That's another great holiday to shoot off fireworks. I think
any holiday is firework approved.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Absolutely absolutely, Blair, Where's your new person?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Su Spencer?
Speaker 6 (16:48):
I saw Ella Lingley was doing an interview and they
asked her an interesting question that I want to turn
around and ask you. They asked her if she could
ask any country artist one question, what would it be?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Now?
Speaker 6 (17:01):
She landed on asking Eric Church specifically about his glasses.
Is it a prescription glasses? Is it something he has
to have? Did he accidently, you know, get to the
point where he has to wear this on stage every night?
And I mean, I think that's very interesting. I mean
because I would love to know that. Who is somebody
you would want to ask a question to and what
would the question be?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Well, you know, the number one question I like to
ask people is if they're missing a digit or something's
jacked up with one of their limbs. I always like
to know what the story is behind that.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Sure, But I mean I'm talking specific country artists.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
That's the thing. I don't know anybody in country music
that has a missing digit, Like I don't know anybody
with four fingers. I would probably want to ask Dolly
Parton what her career was like in her estimation. We
all saw it, we've all witnessed it. But how hard
was it for her who told her no multiple times?
Because we hear that all the time. Like glu Comb
(17:52):
said famously, his first five number ones were all told
to him by one guy that they'll never be a hit.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Yeah, it's interesting that you go, Dolly Parton. I actually
want to ask George straight a question. I want to ask.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Him he's a married man.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Okay, well, I mean he's a beautiful married man.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
But do you still enjoy performing like you once do?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Did?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
I should say?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Give what gives you the indication that he doesn't do?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I think that he still likes going and doing it
every now and then absolutely do I think that somebody
like George Strait that's been doing it for so long
looks and says, this is totally different than how I
used to perform.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
I'm in stadiums now, not smaller venues.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I'm you know, it's just so different that I wish
I could honestly ask him is there still as much
passion as there once was?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I do like the question that I ask every once
in a while of artists who have been doing it
for a long time, like Brooks and Dunn, what's the
song you're tired of playing?
Speaker 6 (18:55):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Yeah, because you know they all have.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
You can't tell me that Ella Langleyne Raley Green aren't
tired of you look like.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You love Yeah. But it's so new, like it's within
two years. Right. Imagine you're Tracy Bird and every night
you're known, you gotta play Watermelon Crawl.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Literally for the It's like when you're doing a set
list and you hear people like Morgan Wallen and Luke Homb's,
you know, speak out on this of like, Hey, I'm
not gonna make everybody happy because I've got to remove
certain things from the set list. It's like, no, Tracy
you cannot remove watermelon crawl.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Tracy Bird probably has written in his will somewhere at
my funeral, do not play watermelon crawl.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Do not let someone mention it.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You guys can play along while you're in the car. Blair,
I'm gonna give you the name of a country artist.
I want you to tell me the first song that
comes to mind. Are you ready?
Speaker 5 (19:44):
I am ready.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You guys just screaming out in your car. Brooks and
Dunn neon Moon, Florida, Georgia line cruise Easy, Dan and Shay.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Ooh, all to myself?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Wow, I had to take you so long With Dan Shay,
I would have ripped aequila real fast.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Well. I was thinking about that, should come to bed,
and then I was like, no, it's.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
All to myself.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
No, but you've got to say the first one that
pops to your mind. It's not your favorite. We're not
trying to break it down.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
But I couldn't think of the name of the ault
my all to bed, all to bed, come to bed,
So I had to go with all of myself
