Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy couple.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Luke and Sarah finally engaged after Luke popped the question
forty three times before Sarah finally said yes, let's go
with a red flag alert because this story is insane.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I mean, what made her say no so many times before?
Is the first question?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
And like why now?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Devil's at why are you good now?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The first time he proposed was six months after they
started dating. For some people, they would say that's a
little too soon, but hey, they've been together now seven years.
And when they first started dating, she was thirty thirty
one and he was twenty eight, So six months is
it really that soon when you're that age?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
The timing okay, all right, that's fine, Okay, what about
it after six months? Why the nose to those forty
one times?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I have a feeling if you get declined and on
a proposal within the first year, you're given one more
if you decide that you guys want to work on
whatever's going on. I'm on your relationship, or maybe the
timing was off, But if she says no to you twice,
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I mean a lot of people would say that if
you got to know once that the humiliation of it
may be too much, I mean twice generous, anything over that.
I mean, was it just a game for her at
that point? Because if so, that's a red flag.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Maybe that's what it turned into, knowing that they could
go for a Guinness World Record of how many times
were you proposed to by one individual person? But YA
would say, if you get turned down once, there's a
good chance that you're going to hit the bricks and
you're out. But after six months, maybe he realized, Okay,
I asked her to marry me way too early into
the relationship.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
It's kind of like saying love.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
If you say I love you and the person doesn't
say I love you back, is that cause for a
breakup or is it just okay, she's not ready or
they're not there yet.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I just know my husband well enough to know that
if he proposed and I said no, I don't think
he would have ever proposed again.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well within the first six months. How long did it
take for you guys to get engaged?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I mean a long time, A long time.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
But I think that there's this vulnerability that comes when
someone proposes that I don't know how you get past
I mean, obviously they did here multiple times.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, I'm not saying they're past it, right, Like you
get proposed to forty three times, you finally say yes,
divorce papers in the next two years.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Oh, you're you're being generous. I don't know what come out.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
How many times is too many?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
One, two, forty three, eight, five, five, grave zero giving
you all.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
The warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the good good on
the Spencer Grave Show.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
A lot of people don't even know that this exists,
but there is a registry if you want to transplant
your bone marrow and give it.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
To somebody else.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Danielle and Nick are very happy that somebody was on
that registry because their son JJ was born with a
rare genetic immune condition called bubble boy disease, meaning he
can't be around anybody or really the environment without the
possibility of getting sick and worse, passing away. Well, after
(03:10):
months of treatment and support from the community, they have
returned home with JJ because there was a person on
the registry that transplanted their bone marrow into him and
now he doesn't have to live in a bubble This.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Is incredible And again I know they're so grateful for this,
and I didn't even know this was a thing.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
So definitely cool to know that this is an option
out there.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Hacks to beat, hacks to beat the heat.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Everybody is talking about the heat dome that we're currently
living in Blair. Your favorite thing to do is just
stay inside with the ac on sixty eight.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, you know, plan putting up Christmas trees. It's what
you're supposed to do when it's one hundred and ten
degrees outside.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Buddy of mine has the weirdest hack. He swears to
God that it works. It's an old school Southern thing.
But I don't know anybody that does it outside of him.
I've heard of people, but I've only witnessed him doing it.
You take a cabbage leaf and you put it underneath
your hat, and apparently that keeps you cool. Has something
(04:08):
to do with the cabbage leaf either, it gets rid
of moisture, which allows your head to stay cooler when
the sun is beating down on it.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Okay, but is like, is he really doing this every
single day? He does, and he swears by it. Why
does he ever forget his cabbage leaf and be like, oh,
you know, it was so much harter today.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
But he does it every single I'm sure I didn't
take a giant whiff. I just noticed that he does
this and he swears by it. And listen, when we
see people who are working outside, you would be hard
pressed to find some of our blue collar men and
women who work outside that don't have a little cooler
next to them. And there is a sillow rag that
(04:55):
they use to dip in ice water, and then they
put that over their shoulders to keep themselves cool while
they're either working outside or turning a sign, or doing whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Job they're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Drenching the cabbage leaf and water ice water.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He's not but he's not a blue collar guy. He's
just somebody that works, you know, and he's outside in
the heat all the time.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Okay, I would like a different hack because I don't
want to put a cabbage leaf on my head, all right.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
So I have another friend of mine.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
His hack is more out of true necessity than anything else.
He's just lazy and doesn't want to fix his ac
in his vehicle. So he went and he got a
bunch of piping that you use like for vents inside
your house, like the exhaust.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Vent for your bathroom.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And he has fashioned himself a clip where he puts
it on his window that he has in his vehicle,
and it sucks the air in and blows it on
him and he can move this thing around for whatever
body part is too warm, and he cools down that way.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Okay, I again at its neck ingenuity. I need some
other ideas. I need some other ideas. I'm not going Low's.
If I'm going to Loa's their home depot, it's to
buy Halloween decorations, not all the piping.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
So what's something simpler.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Maybe I just have really bizarre friends. But if you
guys have one that you want to share with us,
A five five grave zero Blarry. You don't remember this story,
but one of the last times I saw Parker McCollum,
I was able to sit down on his bus and
talk to him.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
His wife, Hallie Ray at the.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Time, was pregnant with their first child, their little boy,
and he spilled the beans to us, sharing the name
of their child. Before it really got out to anybody,
we broke the story.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Do you remember hearing about this?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I remember this.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So finally I got to see him at the Coca
Cola Amphitheater And here's how that interaction went.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Did Hallie know that you were gonna tell us the name.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
She likes major Antsy, but major adri Anson McCollum.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
That's interesting.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Yeah, it's dope. I was watching rose Bow highlights. I
saw major apple White and I was like, damn major,
M'Call what we say?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And was she upset that it got to the press before.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I don't think she was upset. You know, she's not
really the kind to get upset, which is a great
trait to have his wife. Uh, but she kind of had,
you know, I think she had done her fair share
of spelling the beans. Okay, So because I was due
a couple you know, I think I had a couple
bones in the bag.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Then why do people hold on to names and not
share them until the baby's born.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I think a lot of people are scared that, like,
if it's a unique name like that, somebody will beat
him to the punch. I think a lot of people
want unique names, you know nowadays and yeah, they just
they want to be able to be like, yeah, we
thought about this, we've had this one.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I think it's a lot a lot more common to
hold back the name.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Did your parents tell their friends that they planned on
naming you Elizabeth Blair?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Well, no, because my mom didn't even tell my father.
She wrote it on my birthgi be Gate when he
went to work. So uh yeah, no one knew.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I wonder if my parents actually held Spencer tied to
the vest and if they told anybody, like, well, you know,
our second son is going to be Spencer, maybe even
with my older brother Alex, if they held his name
and didn't tell anybody.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Or if that's a new thing among parents.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You know, I think it's more of a new thing, honestly,
all kidding aside, because you know you're seeing more and
more now too that people don't even tell the gender
like they may know, but they don't release that.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Even let me.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Call my dad, he's like Spencer. That was forty two
years ago. You think I remember that, clue. We were
just talking about baby names. Do you remember you and
mom holding back my name or Alex's name and not
(08:46):
sharing that with people until we were born, or did
you tell.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Everybody absolutely your names were a mystery until you were born.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Really?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Oh interesting? What was the thought behind that?
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Well, for both boys, we decided because people will say, oh,
you're pregnant in that die, what are you going to
name the baby, and so we said, well, if it's
a boy, it's going to be Irving Eugene. And if
it's a girl, if it's a girl, it's going to
be Bertha agnes.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
I kind of love the approach.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
The faithial expressions on everyone's face. You know, it's like, oh,
oh nice.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Oh that's great for y'all.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
But you and mom sat down and you discussed this
before you had children, like when we get pregnant, we
will not share the names of our babies until they're born.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Correct, And we knew that we were having boys. We
just didn't tell anybody that either.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Yeah, I told you, Spencer, look at that trendy.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right, dad, thank you?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
All right, I have a great show.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I'm glad I had that. I didn't end up with
one of those names. That would have been god awful.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Poor, Like, what if somebody's listening right now then has
those names?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Sorry, Bertha agnes I apologize. It's how country are you
on the Spencer Grave Show? Where are you from? Once?
Speaker 7 (10:18):
And I work in Coleman.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Awesome, We're really excited to have you on the show today.
You've played before, correct.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
I have.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
It's been a while, but I have. How well did
you do the last time you played?
Speaker 7 (10:28):
I was like a seven ish?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Have we gotten more country? Less? Country? Kind of where
you're at, I'd say a little more. All right, on
a scale one of the country. How country are you?
Speaker 7 (10:39):
I'm going to give myself some credit and say a nine.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Waffle Yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am ey.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Confidence comes in all shapes and forms. All right, you ready,
I'm ready? Who sang country girls? Shake it for me?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Look, Brian, nicely done so fast? If you're truly Southern,
show us how you'd react if you won the law.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I'm not God, I'm good at either riches coming in
the ground. Oh my god, I'm quit my ground.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I mean yeah, you know I did the same.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
A lot of people in the South are very superstitious.
What are you superstitious about?
Speaker 7 (11:20):
I don't wash anything, sweep anything, mop anything on New
Year's Day. If it ain't done before New Year's or
after me, it ain't getting done on New Year's Day.
We sweeping, moping, washing nothing.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I know. Blair's skin is crawling right now. But where
does that come from?
Speaker 7 (11:36):
My grandmother sent it to my mom before she passed,
and my mom has always told me that am I
afraid of mine didn't think it was true, and she
washed my dishes and then my dog, my wonderful great
dame that I loved oh so much, disappeared and she felt.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Bad, terrible. Oh wow.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
No, I've always been told you're gonna wash something or
someone out of your lock that you love.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Oh I heard that, I really have.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I've heard that, but I never know anyone that was
serious about it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
There might be some people who need to verify that
for sure. But you did a great job today eight
point three for you.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
We're going to get you tickets to Justin Moore for
this weekend. Or Dylan Gossip at Avondale Dylan Gossip. Did
you guys hear that somebody screwed up Celsius and they
put High Noon in Celsius in Celsius in high Une bottles?
Speaker 8 (12:30):
My god, could you imagine those break rooms that were
stocked with them and anything. We're drinking them at seven
and eight am, thinking I'm gonna get me some energy,
and by ten they are drinking something you imagine wearing
their forehead right there.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I'm maybe that was the problem with that.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That CEO at the Coldplay concert, he thought he was
drinking Celsius.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
But he was on that high noon, knew what he
was doing it.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
God, y'all swifties will literally fall for anything.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Well, you know, it's what we do.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
What's the deal?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Like, why is it that if you see Travis Kelsey
in something, you immediately think that Taylor has to be involved.
Or if you guys see something and there was like
maybe a lyric attached to Taylor, immediately you guys think
there's some like giant conspiracy theory that she's involved in
that too.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Because she is. She's doing everything.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
What are you specifically talking about, Gilmore right, Okay, yeah,
uh absolutely she was a part of this. Also, let's
just be honest. The fact that she this is just
all so great. You know, we haven't even talked about
the photo dump that Travis, you know, we haven't really
dove into it, all the pictures that he posted.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
But then her postings saying yes everybody cares everyone.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
But then I mean the fact that she posted and
was like, have you gilmour to stream it now? It's
a thirteen out of a ten and then she put
the honeypot next to it.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
But do you honestly think that she's the person in
the bear costume, Blair, stop it if.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
He comes out in a year, If it comes out
in a year that it's her, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
There's no way to know.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
They could easily just drum this up for years and
be like, Oh, this was Taylor Swift the whole time.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
The only time I or the only thing I guess
I should say that makes me think no, is that
Adam Sandler was directly asked, you know, hey, did y'all
ever think about getting Taylor involved? And his response was,
she's so busy we didn't want to bother her.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
For you, guys.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Only thing I'm hung up on.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
That might be listening to The Spencer Grave Show, and
you know that Blair is a giant Swifty. The real
conspiracy theory right now on Netflix if you watch Happy
Go More Too, is Travis Kelsey. Spoiler alert. He's one
of the nine million cameos in the movie. He gets
attacked by a bear, and people believe Swifties believe that
inside the barre costume it's Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I'm just saying it would be genius if this comes
out that it did, that, this really did happen. I'm
gonna be like, of course it did.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
She's gonna be on an award show. She's gonna wear
a bear costume. She's gonna pull the head off at
some point, and then she's gonna keep this going. But
she wasn't actually in the movie. Have you been following
along with this guy? Robert Ewens on social media? No,
it is like the water version of Forrest Gump when
he starts running and he's gonna run across the country,
(15:26):
and more and more people as he makes his way
show up and run with him. This guy has decided
to do the Great Loop, which is a lot of
the waterways that go inside the United States, and some
of them come right through Alabama. In fact, yesterday I
think he was in mobile. He's doing this in a
seventeen foot John boat with like a ninety horsepower engine
(15:49):
on the back.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Good look.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
He's been doing this for weeks and he just set
the world record. I have seen smatterings pop up, But
then last night it was like every every other video
that I scrolled through, I was seeing more and more
about this guy. If you start watching social media today,
you'll see a guy in a john boat and what
makes him stand out more than anything is. He has
a blue bimini like a canopy top. Yeah, and this
(16:13):
dude is literally just.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Going from here to here to hear and going through
all these locks.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
He's just living his best life.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Seventy one years old and he sets a world record
at seventy one.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I just hope that my world record is like chicken
nuggets eaten in a lifetime waking up.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, I just hope I'm making another day. It's just
such a wild story. I'm shocked with as much as
you've been on TikTok that you haven't seen this pop
up at least once, but you guys will probably see
it today.
