Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's the word y'all say where your southern accent just
punches somebody right in the face. You may try to
hold that down if you're working in a professional setting.
If you say the word y'all, somebody's like, oh, you're southern.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I notice, like when I go to type, I'll use y'all,
and then sometimes for specific like business related things, I
have to go back and change.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
I think it's kind of cool, though, because when your
signature says that you're from Alabama, they read y'all and
they're like, oh my god, this is just the nicest
letter I've ever gone.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
That's so precious.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
A five five grave zero. What's the word that makes
your southern accent come out? I'm reminded of this because
for the amount of times that I pick on you
for not being truly country. You're raised in the South
and all that kind of stuff, but you don't do
the real country stuff like NASCAR, hunting, right, fashion, all
that kind of stuff. I have these subtle glances of
me realizing that you are truly country. And it happened

(00:55):
earlier this week you said, why can you say that
for everybody?

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Why that's it?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
We were talking about clearing out your friends list, and
you're like, I've got these friends from high school and
I haven't talked to them in years, So why are
they on my uh?

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Why are they on my social media?

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Like?

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Why?

Speaker 1 (01:17):
And as soon as I heard you know why, I
was like, there, she is, there, she is certain.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Words, it.

Speaker 6 (01:25):
Will the Bobby D comes out in me big time.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Because you know, in Southern speak, a lot of people
drop the G in any word that ends with I
n G. So swimming or hunting or fishing, it's hunting,
fishing swimming. You for whatever reason, you'll go swimming and
you'll drop like that G. And then I'm like, oh, man,
she didn't have that Southern accent. And then if I

(01:48):
ask you to say that word with why and you
give me a.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
Why, Wow, It's gonna happen every time too.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Faith, We were talking about the word where your accent
really starts to shine.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
What is it?

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Well, a little bit of a backstory. I was legally
deaf in kindergarten, so I went through speech therapy for years.
And there's the handful of words I just can't say correctly.
But the one word that my husband, everybody else says
that lets everyone know where I'm from.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Is rass and I can't.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
About go to the grocery store and he's like, what
do we need. I'm like, well, we need ris and
bread and he starts cracking up on me.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
So do you try to change it at all and
soften the southerness or do you just let it ride?

Speaker 5 (02:33):
I at this point, you know, you hit a certain
age and you to that point where you're like through it.
Oh I am? I mean between that and the words
that he makes fun of me for not being able
to say, just because of everything I went to when
I was younger, it's a real fun time.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Well, Faith, thank you very much for calling us, giving
you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
It's the good good on the Spence Show.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Ever since the floods in Texas ravaged the area, I
think more of us are becoming aware of just how
many summer camps happened along that stretch of the river.
There is a summer camp for those with disabilities. It
has reopened, thanks you to the volunteer cleanup effort that's happened.
This is a place called Camp Camp and it's for

(03:22):
people who have disabilities and they were able to get
reopened after hundreds of volunteers from across the state of
Texas helped clear debris from the fifty five acre site.

Speaker 6 (03:33):
I love to hear stories like this.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I mean, obviously we hate what happened, but we love
that everybody's stepping up and doing what needs to be
done to get everybody as close to normal as possible.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Camp Camp serves over eight hundred campers a year, and
they provide vital programming and communities for families with special
needs children. I've been getting asked a lot recently, Spencer,
why haven't you met the woman in your dreams? And
part of me always kind of laugh that off, but
there's another part of me that's like, I don't know
if it's ever going to happen.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Everybody has those things that you're just kind of tired
of people asking, even if they're meaning it in a
nice way. If I had a dollar for every time
somebody asked me, aren't you scared that you're going to
regret not having kids?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
There's a lot of people that get the question on
the flip side, when are you going to have children?

Speaker 4 (04:20):
When are you going to get married, When are you
going to settle down.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
When are you going to actually get a job and
a career and not do what you're doing now? These
questions pop up all the time. How do you handle
it when people say that?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Most of the time, I just look at them with
a smile and say, it's a decision that I've made
long before I ever met Steve, and I'm very confident
in where I stand.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
I can hear your blood boiling just in that answer, yeah, because.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
I'm like, it's such a lot of times these questions again,
even if you mean well, they're so personal, and it's like,
why do you have the right to even dive into
that with me?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
And when did you decide that you didn't want to
have children? When you were a teenager?

Speaker 6 (04:56):
Pybly sixteen seventeen, So it was.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
When your sister had your first nephew or niece, right,
I think it was a next John Keith. Yeah, so
you saw what it takes to raise a child because
you were around it all the time.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
I mean, it was my life, you know, even though
I didn't have John Keith him coming into our life.
I mean he was the first grandkid, he was the
first nephew, he was the first child for that, you know,
I mean, and I'm just very firm in believing that.
I know I'm selfish with my time, and I recognize that,
and I'm okay with that, And being a mother was

(05:30):
never something that I just needed to have happened in
my life. I have friends who, from the time they
knew what being a mom was, that's.

Speaker 6 (05:39):
That was their dream and their goal, and that just
wasn't mine.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Ever.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Ever, when I have people that come up to me
and say, why haven't you met the woman of your dreams,
I'm like, I probably have, but I was probably terrible
at the time and didn't recognize that it was the
greatest situation. So here I am forty two, single and
trying to figure out what is the next ten years
of my life look like, and hopefully that's a family.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
You know, I think that a lot of people too
in your situation, Like, do you ever look and think
maybe I was too picky, not saying that you like,
weren't trying to settle, because no one should settle, but
almost have an unrealistic expectation.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
Of course you've waited so long.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Of course I remember being so shallow with reasons why
I didn't want to be with somebody I didn't like
the way they smack their lips together. I don't like
the fact that they say this word compared to this word,
like very shallow things. But over the last seven years,
I've gotten very intentional and I've started to really look

(06:39):
at what are the things that are truly important? How
good is their family? What is their life like? Do
they have passions? Are they ambitious? Do they have drive?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Do they want to have.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
A family, do they just want to be somebody who
doesn't have children?

Speaker 4 (06:54):
What are their actual goals in life?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
And where do we see not only yourself but us
together in twenty five years.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
That's what I think about now.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
It's just crazy that like we all deal with the
same thing as far as like.

Speaker 6 (07:08):
Questions that get asked, and it's so much.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Deeper of a conversation than you probably want to get
into with a lot of people.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Right like you say it and then you want to
look at that person, go are you ready? Sit down?

Speaker 6 (07:18):
We can do a dissertation, we can chat, but I
promise it's going to be more than you signed up for.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
A five five graves zero.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
If there's a question, people always ask you that you're
tired of hearing.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
All right, So we're supposed to just call this guy
J Blair.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
All right, we could do that.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Jay.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
The reason why I say that is I'm a police officer,
and the question I always get is what's the worst
thing you've ever seen?

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Ooh ooh, okay, yeah, would you like to give us
that answer?

Speaker 6 (07:48):
We're not asking.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I honestly thought the worst question that you were going
to get, or the one that you're tired of hearing
because it's annoying, is Hey.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
If I get pulled over, can I call you and
you get me out of that ticket.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
I mean, that happens with friends and stuff, and I
you know, of course, tell people you handle that after
the fact, don't do it during the middle. But I've
always told people, ask me what's the best thing I've done?
What we're seeing there?

Speaker 6 (08:12):
You go, oh, I like that.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
In your eighteen year career, what would you say is
the most defining moment of you being a police officer.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
We had a female that was at the er. Through
our contacts at the hospital, they called us and said, hey,
we think this woman's domestic violence victim. They had she
had a broken elbow. They shoved the domestic violence hotline
number under her cast so that the guy that was

(08:41):
with her was just acting very strange, very weird. So
we wait, we get him stopped. She won't even look
at the police officer. She's that nervous. We get him out.
We do feel sobriety on him. He is intoxicated. But
I'll always remember the way the mom acted with thank
you for caring and stopping this guy. She and her

(09:04):
family they ended up moving and you know, she lived
her life and hopefully she's doing well. But that one's
always stood out to me.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
So you look at that an eighteen year career, all
the traffic stops, all the kickdown doors, all the things
that you've done, the one that stands out is how
you got somebody saved out of a really terrible scenario.
And you still think about that to this day. Jay,
Thank you, buddy.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
It's How country are you? On the Spencer Grave Show?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Courtney?

Speaker 7 (09:32):
Hi, run a tattle ax?

Speaker 4 (09:33):
You're like a boss babe.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, Well, we've got three questions for you on how
country are you? You might be a boss babe, but
are you really Southern? On a scale of one to country?
How country are you?

Speaker 7 (09:43):
My husband's says an eight and a half, but I
really think I'm more closer to a five.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Why does your husband have more faith in you than
you do?

Speaker 7 (09:52):
Okay, So I've always lived in the South, but where
everybody else seems to like live like way off the
beaten path and had like me, malls and things like that.
I lived in the city, got it. I didn't get
a switch, I got a built.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
I still got something that I had a.

Speaker 7 (10:11):
Whole drawer to pick from.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Y'all, well, Courtney, you've already answered some of our questions,
but we're gonna ask you the three that really matter,
and then.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
We'll give you a score. You ready to go?

Speaker 7 (10:21):
All right?

Speaker 1 (10:22):
What actress was married to Kenny Chesney? And here's a hint.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
I do.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
I love him?

Speaker 4 (10:28):
I love him and I don't care what you think.

Speaker 7 (10:31):
I love him for the for the man he wants
to be, and I love him for the man that
he almost is.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Who is that that was married to Kenny Chesney?

Speaker 7 (10:41):
The one that doesn't look the same anymore?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
She don't went downhill after she left him?

Speaker 7 (10:49):
Yeah, and I know like she was in those I
do not like that. I'm so sorry I cannot remember
her name for all sipe for me. Yeah, and who's
like the other guy's married to.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
But no, that's her.

Speaker 7 (11:08):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, Now they did get an It wasn't something that
you know, is really truly on the books anymore. They
got it annoyed, right, they were married at one point.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
All right, here we go. I knew he was married
to Courtney in high school. Where did y'all hang out?

Speaker 7 (11:25):
The front of the Toys r Ust It's.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
Always a random parking lot, always.

Speaker 7 (11:32):
Yeah. Down here in Chelsea it was the front of
the wind Dixie parking lot.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
See, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
It's it's always it's always a parking lot. It could
be a Walmart, it could be a grocery store.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Now did y'all did y'all cruise the main strip and
whatever little town you were in?

Speaker 7 (11:50):
Yeah? Right, yeah, yeah you did that and then you
got run off by the police because the Toys r
us people would get mad that there was all these
kids hanging out in the pergam lot.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yeah, free the giraffe getting all tipped off. All right,
here we go.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Final question on how country are you and you're doing? Okay,
tell us a time you fix something using redneck innovation.

Speaker 7 (12:12):
Okay, So guys, my husband, I can't drop and I
pulled too far forward at Walmart and I ripped a
bumper off of my car and we went into Walmart
and got some zip ties and put the zip ties
through the little holes to hold it back together. Bravo.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Did it work?

Speaker 7 (12:34):
Yeah? It was fine.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
It's still on the yep.

Speaker 7 (12:40):
Yeah, got rid of the car, kept zip paz on it.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Listen outside of the renee Zellweger issue that you had,
you did fairly well today. Seven point eight is your score?

Speaker 7 (12:54):
Oh yeah, okay, awesome.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
We've got tickets for you to check out Hearty my
birthday weekend September twelfth at Cocaine Amphitheater.

Speaker 7 (13:00):
Oh that's great, thank you.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I got denied yesterday for Master's tickets. Say it seems
like my run of going to the Master's has come
to an end.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
I was one and done.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
You know, every single year I submit for Master's tickets
and hopes, genuinely in hopes that I can send Steve
and his friend's klous and Josh, my brother and his
little boy, my nephew Connor, because I feel like that
would be the ultimate guide trip and I genuinely would
sit back and be like y'all go like, y'all go

(13:37):
enjoy this. But as I got the hey you're not
like to your email, I was like, wait a minute,
I've felt this before.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
I have felt this type of pain and crushing moment
when I didn't.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Get a pre cell code for the aerostour, Like this
is the equivalent.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
It's You're right. The airstore was more crushing, but it's
the closest thing that man will ever feel because.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Even if it's not an event, okay, you getting a
not a letter of non acceptance to the College of
your dreams doesn't feel it doesn't feel nearly as crushing as.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
The masters no.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Because what I got my hopesep Spencer. I really got
my hopeset because Josh text me first He's like, I
gotta know what did you get? And then I was
text with Steve and I was like, y'all, I don't
have an email yet, so maybe like all the no's
are going out first and the yeses are coming later,
because it was like I'm talking several hours afterwards, and

(14:46):
so I was like, look at me, I'm wipe of
the year, Sister of the year for end of the
year and of the year, I'm gonna send these guys
to the Master.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Oh yeah, Like your application was teetering on the line
of yes or no exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
And then I finally got the no email and I
was like, oh, well.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
None of my friends got a yes on this. And
then it really ticked me off because I was scrolling
through TikTok and it was like people saying, I.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Gotta know, I gotta know, I gotta know, I gotta.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Know, and then that one random person, so I got
it yes, And I don't really even like golf.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
It's like what.

Speaker 6 (15:23):
And again, I guess that would kind of be like
me in a way, but like.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
I'm genuinely trying so that like the group can go,
you know what I mean, Like, I'm trying my best.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
So for you, it's a pre sale code on the
Aras tour. For me, it was not getting the Master's tickets.
For other people, it might not be getting accepted to
the College of your Dreams. What is something else that
is just as crushing if you got a no eight five, five,
grave zero. A lot of people have been trying to
figure out why are Jelly rolling, Kevin James hanging out

(15:52):
so much Kevin James from Paul Blart, Mall Cop and
Fourteen Queens and all that kind of stuff. Well, now
we actually know why they're spending so much time together.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
You have been prepping for a film.

Speaker 7 (16:06):
I know you're excited about.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
You are coming into the country music space and you're
going to shoot a country music film.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
It's going to be a crazy one. And you know
how crazy it is because my man is doing it
with me. You're gonna be my service.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
There's no way I would meet Kevin James do say
music movie and not be a part of the country
music movies.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
So we we have to we have to get me
to be able to look like I know what I'm
doing right. It's a journey.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
So there's not a lot of information on this. There's
no delivery date, there's no release date. There's no concept
really other than the two of them want to do
a movie about country music.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Okay, Can I just say that I want to imagine
I'm very excited about this.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
I just want to imagine that they.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Weren't supposed to announce this and Jelly Roll just like
let it slip out, Like I just want to imagine that, Yeah,
we weren't going to tell everybody till we had more details.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
They get off the air after he guests hosted for
Jimmy Kimmell, and they're like.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
That project, by the way, dead in the water.

Speaker 6 (17:02):
Yeah, like, what's supposed to bring that up
