Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kind of wrap a bow on the whole Coldplay ceo
cheating scandal. The CEO that was busted, the guy has
resigned his position at the company.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We all saw that come in, and then.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We've learned a little more about the woman who's in there.
She is currently married to a CEO of another company.
They just bought a multimillion dollar home together, and then
she was caught snuggling up with this CEO where she
is the director of human resources, all.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
For a Coldplay concert. I'm not gonna understand the place
with Kenny Chesney.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
That's when I said to a friend of mine. I
was like, how disappointing that their spouse has found out
that the two people cheating on him. Really like Coldplay
giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the
good good On the Spencer Grave Show, Blair, when you
were a kid, did you ever start your own company
or business?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I wanted to, but obviously was never successful.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
What was it gonna be?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I wanted to start my own hotel? Okay, I really did.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
It was my.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Losty lofty goal. There's a young man from Long Island
named Will. He launched his own burger stand and what
makes his burgers different is he allows veterans to eat
for free. It's called will smash burgers. And then after
all this, he takes donations other people can buy burgers
things like that. A portion of his profits will go
(01:26):
back to veteran related charities.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
All right, now I need to go buy burgers from
this kid.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
If you didn't see this on social media, yesterday, a
tesla crashed through the window at Starbucks on two to
eighty in Hoover. It was quite the scene. Now a
lot of people are trying to figure out what's the
physical story here, because if you read the news reports,
they don't have anything. They don't say how the person
physically got their car into a Starbucks. How do you
(01:54):
think it happened, Blair?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I believe they probably were going through the original drive
through and they ordered a vini, probably a venty cookie
crumble prappuccino if I was just guessing, and they only
gave him a Grande and they got mad and they
tried to whip it to do a UI to get
back over there, and they just whipped it a little
(02:16):
too hard.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Okay, so that's really detailed. I honestly think they were
sitting in the parking lot. They thought they were in reverse,
they ended up being in drive, and they punched it
and they ended up going through the window.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Your story's not as good as mine. I mean, come on, now.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I do wish they would have left the car kind
of like they left that boat on the side of
two to eighty for two months. How great would it be? Oh,
that's the Starbucks that has a Tesla sticking out of it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I forget that. You don't drink coffee. You don't realize
we can't go too in three months without our Starbucks?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
How do you guys think it went down? Eight five
to five grave zero? Would you be shocked if you
heard somebody say that a thirty five year old is old?
Eight five five grave zero. That's what the word on
the street is. Anybody born between nineteen ninety seven and
twenty twelve considers someone who's thirty five is old.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Starting to get a little too close for my comfort,
just little too.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Close now, Like, there's only one person that I know
that's born between that window. It happens to be Dino's
oldest son, Isaiah. Dino works on the radio station, So
I want to call him, and I want to see
if it's true. I'm not gonna tell him what the
story's all about or anything. I'm just gonna ask him
a very simple question. Hello, Isaiah, Oh, it's up, Spencer.
(03:34):
When you think about someone who's old, how old are they?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Like? Forties forty is pretty old.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So you're saying, when you think about me, I'm old kinda,
but like you're different because you're like fun, I'm a
fun old Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, Isaiah, you do not have to be nice to Spencer.
You just called him old. I'm young. I'm young. I
appreciate you not saying thirties. I would have had to
go get more botox and things today had you said that.
So I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
No, sponsor's a fun guy.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
See the kids know, did you denmo him before you
called him?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Not at all? You can check his receipts. He's just, uh,
I'm standing on business here, you know what I mean?
Like the kids know.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Okay, you're getting less and less cool when you're closed
the little line clock. Yeah, stop, you're embarrassing me second
hand embarrassing all right.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So, Isaiah, if I told you somebody was I don't know,
random number thirty three years old, what would you classify them,
I'd say that's like middle middle aged, like old, not young,
but like not old yet, right, but they're getting there. Yeah,
they're getting dude.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I was just complimenting you, like I'm starting to see
your dad come out and you like, calm down over there, Isaiah.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Thank you, buddy. How's the rest of the summer looking
for you?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I have soccer starting up soon, so nice man. Well,
good luck this season, and you were an absolute beast
last year, so I'm looking forward to seeing how you do. Yeah,
all right, buddy, We'll have a great day. Thanks so
much for taking the call.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
All right, see you, buddy. So there you go. That
actually proves it there is a healthy amount of gen
z Or is anybody born between nineteen ninety seven and
twenty twelve that they say someone who's old when they
think about it is over the age of thirty five.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well the best part is I am under the age
of thirty five.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
But you're there. I'm there, Jennifer. What's going on? I
have a bone to pick with Blair.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Okay, oh no.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
That comment you just made about Spencer being old and Spencer's.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
What forty one, forty two thank you forty two season.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I'm forty nine, so come on now, But you're not old.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'm a spencer, only Spencer.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
That still puts me in the forty category. Baby.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But here's the thing, you're a famous. It doesn't apply
to us. Yeah, but I don't get hold I look.
They say, I look thirty ship.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, there you go, Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
That's what I'm saying. Spencer is old, you are not.
That's just where we're at.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, the Spencer is good looking too.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So thank you, Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Here we go, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Blair, are you saying that I'm forty two and I
look like I've been ridden hard and put up wet?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I am saying that it doesn't apply to females. They
just like to speak at you, you know they do.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And I appreciate it because I always feel like, if
your friends can't make fun of you, then you don't
really have friends, now, do you.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
This is a female, then you would think that they
were mad at you.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, I think they're mad at me even when they
pick on me. So well, thank you, Jen have a
great day today.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I'll have a blessed day and I'll talk to you'll soon.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh biye it's how country are you? On the Spence Show.
Any pope is getting ready to play how country are you? Pope?
Like the actual Catholic pope? Pope?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
What the Catholic belle? Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Sure, okay, An I'm bad, well ame you with that
for sure. All right, buddy, here's the deal. You got
to tell us on a scale of country, how country
are you?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I'm gonna go with a seven.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
A little bit of a pause there, did you want
to go higher?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I don't want toot my own horn.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He's like, y'all will toot my horn for me in
just a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
There we go. All right, buddy, here's your three questions.
We'll give you a score at the end. This one's simple.
What's the company Kubota known for tractor? Nicely done?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I mean, come on.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
When you picture a blue collar worker, explain to everybody
what they're wearing.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
A hard hat, steel, cold boots, something, fire resistance.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I always think of those high viz vests.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, they always do have those vest on.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Right, and now they even have them cooler, like they're
an actual shirt and they have the high vision. I
see him loves truck stuff all the time. But I
kind I kind of want to own one.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Well, do the work.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I know, I've got a couple. I like that. Like
the all right, buddy, final question. As a kid, how
did you know you were really being raised Southern?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Uh, that's a tough one, really.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I mean, it's just it's it's a way of life,
you know. I didn't really look at it as being
raised Southern. I looked at it as being raised and
everybody else says old man using manners.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
That's a big one.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
That is a good one. I would always come home
with random scratches all over me because I'd be out
in the woods or I'd be riding my bike and
I wasn't allowed to come home before the sun went down.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, but if you're not home before the streetlights come on,
you you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Get That's right. You are correct about that. You're going
to get the business. All right, buddy. A nice job
today and eight point two for you.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Fantastic.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
We've got tickets to see Hardy my birthday weekend September
twelfth at Coke Cola Amphitheater. Oh great.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Do you know how to drive a stick shift?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Did you learn how to drive a car on a
stick shift, like originally or was it something you learned later.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, My dad had a nineteen seventy Volvo and it
was I mean, it's a beautiful little car. It looks
like a mini Batmobile and it was a five speed.
So he was like, hey, you need to learn how
to drive a stick shift. So of course I was like, okay, cool.
Now it came in really solid when I got older
because one of my first vehicles I've ever had was
a Jeep Wrangler and it was a five speed.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
So I've never learned how. I had a friend of
mine she tried to teach me, and she was a
little older than I am, and I burned her engine out.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
You know, you're supposed to release the clut.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah. And I've reminded this to my husband multiple times
because he brings it up all the time. I mean,
he is a car guy through and through, an old
classic car guy, and I want to say this is horrible.
I should know this. I want to say one of
the cars is a stick shift anyway, the one that
he just got, he bought an old bug and it's
a stick shift, and he is determined for me to
(10:23):
learn how to drop this thing.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well, if you're going to learn on one vehicle. A
bug is definitely a good one, although it's kind of
a dying thing, it is.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And we started talking about this, and there's a lot
of things out there that maybe we know that the
younger generation may not know, Like, for example, I don't
think kids learn how to write in cursive anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh yeah, that's probably very true. Why do you think
that though, because I would assume that at some point
in school you learn how to write in cursive.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Well, Steve took Colby, who he's our one of our
seventeen year old tiny humans, to get a checking account
a couple of years ago, and you know how they
ask You're like, hey, can you sign this? He just
printed his name and he looked at and he said, Pops,
that's that's how I signed my name, you know. So
it just kind of started a conversation with Steve and
I have like things that we might know how to
(11:14):
do that other people don't. Balancing a check book is
one that comes to mind.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
How about reading a map, like a physical map, not GPS,
not your your Alexa or your Siri talking to you.
Sorry if Siri just went off in your car.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I don't think I could. I honestly don't think I
could read a book. Map quest was my big thing.
We would print out the directions, you know, that was
what we did when we started driving.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I'd love to hear what people have as far as
a dying skill that they know that the younger generation
would have no concept of using an old landline celluh
landline phone, well.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Using an old cell phone where you had to do
like the three you know, three clicks for a certain
letter or whatever, like texting.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I'll I'll tell you if you put down a rotary
phone that had the actual dial and you put in
front of one of your tiny humans, they wouldn't be
able to figure out how to make a.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Phone call Spencer. I forget which one of my tiny
humans it was, but they had no idea what a
payphone was.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well, I mean, then again, you never see them anymore.
Eight five to five graves zero.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
It's definitely a rotary folk. We actually have an old
phone boots in our house and we have four boys,
and so when their friends come over, they cannot get
over that there's a phone in there that you have
to dial using your finger, and that you say, don't
understand how to even hang up, pick it up anything,
so then when it rings back, it's even more hilarious.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So it does work.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Though it does work.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Here's the sound that everybody can remember when it comes
to a rotary phone, because they were so difficult. This
is the ring. Everybody knows that. But they were so
difficult back in the day to be able to if
you had to do one two oh five. Kids just
don't understand that you have to one, and you'd have
to hit that metal bar that stopped you as hard
(13:05):
as you could because sometimes it didn't register.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
And the fact that they have to go all the
way around every time they down a number.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
And then the worst this was always the worst thing
with the rotary phone is you would get to that
last number and you'd hit the wrong hole and you'd
screw up and you'd have to do it all again. Well,
thank you yesterday's news Blair probably didn't hit you that hard.
But hearing that Malcolm Jamal Warner died at fifty four
in Costa Rica, I was a little shocked when I
(13:34):
saw that.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
It was so sad. I mean, I used to watch
that show all the time growing up.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
You watched the Cosby Show.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yes, absolutely okay, good night.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
What okay? So you got all the reruns? See I
remember watching that one it was in its prime and
when it was on TV. For those that don't know,
Malcolm Jamal Warner played theo Huxtable. He was the son
of Bill Cosby on The Cosby Show. It was probably
the most watched TV show when it was current.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah for sure. I mean I it was so popular.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Sixty million people a night would tune in and watch this.
But he died yesterday. He was fifty four. He was
in a drowning accident with his family in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
You know, you never know what could happen, and we
just need to live life to the fullest, take care
of one another, love one another. It's just really sad.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Y'all may not have known about this, but Dolly Parton
actually told people and then not sing along with her songs,
and it floored some people. What do you mean, so
you know how she's got that musical, Dolly a true
original musical. Yes, she was on stage for the first
show and she said, every time you hear a song,
you know you're gonna want to sing along, Well don't
because this ain't no who nanny, This is a Broadway.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Musical, and I bet everybody did exactly what she said,
because we're not gonna go against what Dolly says.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
She's basically laying it out there like these people are
paid to do this, they are trained to this. Let them.
It's kind of like when you start singing a song
and somebody comes up to you and goes, hey, who
sings that, and you go, Dolly Parton.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They go, Let's leave it that way, take it that way.
Kind of wrap a bow on the whole Coldplay ceo

resigned his position at the company.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We all saw that come in, and then.

She is currently married to a CEO of another company.
They just bought a multimillion dollar home together, and then
she was caught snuggling up with this CEO where she
is the director of human resources, all.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
For a Coldplay concert. I'm not gonna understand the place

Speaker 3 (01:05):
It was my.
Speaker 1 (01:05):

Speaker 2 (01:29):
All right, now I need to go buy burgers from
this kid.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
If you didn't see this on social media, yesterday, a
tesla crashed through the window at Starbucks on two to
eighty in Hoover. It was quite the scene. Now a

(02:16):
too hard.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Okay, so that's really detailed. I honestly think they were

How do you guys think it went down? Eight five

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Here we go, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Blair, are you saying that I'm forty two and I
look like I've been ridden hard and put up wet?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I am saying that it doesn't apply to females. They
just like to speak at you, you know they do.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And I appreciate it because I always feel like, if
your friends can't make fun of you, then you don't
really have friends, now, do you.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
This is a female, then you would think that they
were mad at you.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, I think they're mad at me even when they
pick on me. So well, thank you, Jen have a
great day today.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I'll have a blessed day and I'll talk to you'll soon.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh biye it's how country are you? On the Spence Show.
Any pope is getting ready to play how country are you? Pope?
Like the actual Catholic pope? Pope?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
What the Catholic belle? Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Sure, okay, An I'm bad, well ame you with that
for sure. All right, buddy, here's the deal. You got
to tell us on a scale of country, how country
are you?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I'm gonna go with a seven.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
A little bit of a pause there, did you want
to go higher?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I don't want toot my own horn.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He's like, y'all will toot my horn for me in
just a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
There we go. All right, buddy, here's your three questions.
We'll give you a score at the end. This one's simple.
What's the company Kubota known for tractor? Nicely done?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I mean, come on.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
When you picture a blue collar worker, explain to everybody
what they're wearing.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
A hard hat, steel, cold boots, something, fire resistance.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I always think of those high viz vests.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, they always do have those vest on.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Right, and now they even have them cooler, like they're
an actual shirt and they have the high vision. I
see him loves truck stuff all the time. But I
kind I kind of want to own one.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Well, do the work.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I know, I've got a couple. I like that. Like
the all right, buddy, final question. As a kid, how
did you know you were really being raised Southern?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Uh, that's a tough one, really.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I mean, it's just it's it's a way of life,
you know. I didn't really look at it as being
raised Southern. I looked at it as being raised and
everybody else says old man using manners.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
That's a big one.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
That is a good one. I would always come home
with random scratches all over me because I'd be out
in the woods or I'd be riding my bike and
I wasn't allowed to come home before the sun went down.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, but if you're not home before the streetlights come on,
you you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Get That's right. You are correct about that. You're going
to get the business. All right, buddy. A nice job
today and eight point two for you.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Fantastic.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
We've got tickets to see Hardy my birthday weekend September
twelfth at Coke Cola Amphitheater. Oh great.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Do you know how to drive a stick shift?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Did you learn how to drive a car on a
stick shift, like originally or was it something you learned later.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, My dad had a nineteen seventy Volvo and it
was I mean, it's a beautiful little car. It looks
like a mini Batmobile and it was a five speed.
So he was like, hey, you need to learn how
to drive a stick shift. So of course I was like, okay, cool.
Now it came in really solid when I got older
because one of my first vehicles I've ever had was
a Jeep Wrangler and it was a five speed.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
So I've never learned how. I had a friend of
mine she tried to teach me, and she was a
little older than I am, and I burned her engine out.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
You know, you're supposed to release the clut.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah. And I've reminded this to my husband multiple times
because he brings it up all the time. I mean,
he is a car guy through and through, an old
classic car guy, and I want to say this is horrible.
I should know this. I want to say one of
the cars is a stick shift anyway, the one that
he just got, he bought an old bug and it's
a stick shift, and he is determined for me to
(10:23):
learn how to drop this thing.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well, if you're going to learn on one vehicle. A
bug is definitely a good one, although it's kind of
a dying thing, it is.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And we started talking about this, and there's a lot
of things out there that maybe we know that the
younger generation may not know, Like, for example, I don't
think kids learn how to write in cursive anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh yeah, that's probably very true. Why do you think
that though, because I would assume that at some point
in school you learn how to write in cursive.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Well, Steve took Colby, who he's our one of our
seventeen year old tiny humans, to get a checking account
a couple of years ago, and you know how they
ask You're like, hey, can you sign this? He just
printed his name and he looked at and he said, Pops,
that's that's how I signed my name, you know. So
it just kind of started a conversation with Steve and
I have like things that we might know how to
(11:14):
do that other people don't. Balancing a check book is
one that comes to mind.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
How about reading a map, like a physical map, not GPS,
not your your Alexa or your Siri talking to you.
Sorry if Siri just went off in your car.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I don't think I could. I honestly don't think I
could read a book. Map quest was my big thing.
We would print out the directions, you know, that was
what we did when we started driving.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I'd love to hear what people have as far as
a dying skill that they know that the younger generation
would have no concept of using an old landline celluh
landline phone, well.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Using an old cell phone where you had to do
like the three you know, three clicks for a certain
letter or whatever, like texting.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I'll I'll tell you if you put down a rotary
phone that had the actual dial and you put in
front of one of your tiny humans, they wouldn't be
able to figure out how to make a.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Phone call Spencer. I forget which one of my tiny
humans it was, but they had no idea what a
payphone was.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well, I mean, then again, you never see them anymore.
Eight five to five graves zero.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
It's definitely a rotary folk. We actually have an old
phone boots in our house and we have four boys,
and so when their friends come over, they cannot get
over that there's a phone in there that you have
to dial using your finger, and that you say, don't
understand how to even hang up, pick it up anything,
so then when it rings back, it's even more hilarious.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So it does work.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Though it does work.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Here's the sound that everybody can remember when it comes
to a rotary phone, because they were so difficult. This
is the ring. Everybody knows that. But they were so
difficult back in the day to be able to if
you had to do one two oh five. Kids just
don't understand that you have to one, and you'd have
to hit that metal bar that stopped you as hard
(13:05):
as you could because sometimes it didn't register.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
And the fact that they have to go all the
way around every time they down a number.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
And then the worst this was always the worst thing
with the rotary phone is you would get to that
last number and you'd hit the wrong hole and you'd
screw up and you'd have to do it all again. Well,
thank you yesterday's news Blair probably didn't hit you that hard.
But hearing that Malcolm Jamal Warner died at fifty four
in Costa Rica, I was a little shocked when I
(13:34):
saw that.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
It was so sad. I mean, I used to watch
that show all the time growing up.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
You watched the Cosby Show.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yes, absolutely okay, good night.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
What okay? So you got all the reruns? See I
remember watching that one it was in its prime and
when it was on TV. For those that don't know,
Malcolm Jamal Warner played theo Huxtable. He was the son
of Bill Cosby on The Cosby Show. It was probably
the most watched TV show when it was current.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah for sure. I mean I it was so popular.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Sixty million people a night would tune in and watch this.
But he died yesterday. He was fifty four. He was
in a drowning accident with his family in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
You know, you never know what could happen, and we
just need to live life to the fullest, take care
of one another, love one another. It's just really sad.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Y'all may not have known about this, but Dolly Parton
actually told people and then not sing along with her songs,
and it floored some people. What do you mean, so
you know how she's got that musical, Dolly a true
original musical. Yes, she was on stage for the first
show and she said, every time you hear a song,
you know you're gonna want to sing along, Well don't
because this ain't no who nanny, This is a Broadway.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Musical, and I bet everybody did exactly what she said,
because we're not gonna go against what Dolly says.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
She's basically laying it out there like these people are
paid to do this, they are trained to this. Let them.
It's kind of like when you start singing a song
and somebody comes up to you and goes, hey, who
sings that, and you go, Dolly Parton.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They go, Let's leave it that way, take it that way.
