Speaker 1 (00:00):
This week. We're gonna have multiple days of when kids
go back to school. Some start today, some on Wednesday,
some on Thursday. But since it is back to school time.
If I asked you who your favorite teacher is, who
would you say a five to five grave zero, It.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Would have been my librarian, Miss Jordon the librarian. Yes,
And I actually found Miss Jorden through friends, Facebook, all
the things, and I guess I's spent about a year
ago now, But me and her went to lunch after
all these years, and it was so special.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
What did you learn from that lunch that.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
She listens every single morning to the show?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, shout out to her.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Then, Yes, Miss Jordin, and she was just such a
special woman in my life. I spent more time in
the library, not necessarily reading, but just hanging out with her.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Kind of garten fifth grade.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
She would I can say this now because I don't
I don't think my PE teacher, mister Biggs is gonna
like make me run laps. But she would write a
note saying that she needed help in the library to
get me out.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Of Pe, like three or four times a week.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
And I would just go hang out with her, and
I don't know what it was that created that special
bond that she and I had, But all these years later,
even before we got to see each other and have lunch,
she just she made such an impact in my life.
And you know, I met her, I think I think
officially met her third grade year, but like it was
(01:32):
around her kindergarten, you know, go into the library, but third,
fourth and fifth grade. She was such a vital part
of my story and I'll forever be grateful.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It's so interesting when you bring up who's your favorite
teacher that you would go with the library, and she
probably doesn't get that a lot. And it's kudos to
how much of an impact she made on you. And
she probably had no idea, I'm sure when you saw
her lunch and told her that, she.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Was like what crod? She was like, why are you crying?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And I'm like this, it just's nursing. We were at
Olive Garden, Thank you very much. We were at Olive Garden.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
My favorite teacher was Missus Pugh and that's her married name.
She was Missus Whitehead. And I look back at it now,
I literally had Missus Pew when she was going through
so many changes in her life. She had just graduated college.
She was a first and second year teacher. She was
dating somebody, she got engaged, she got married when I
(02:29):
no longer had her as a teacher. Our families became
really good friends. They lived really close to us. They
were going to build a new house. My parents offered
up the house that or the like kind of apartment
setup that my grandmother lived in. Well, she was living
with us. They offered that to her and her husband
to live in while their house was getting built. So
(02:50):
I would see these folks all the time. And now
we're friends on Facebook. I've watched her kids grow up
when I'm a pilot.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Now, isn't that cord I mean, you know, Miss Jordan
doesn't post a lot on Facebook, but every now and
then she'll get like on a liking spring go like
like ten of my posts and whatnot. And I always
love too, because I'm friends with some more of my
elementary school teachers and things like that on Facebook, and
they'll post pictures and it's always me and Miss Jordin.
Like I'm never hanging out with the kids. It's always
(03:20):
me and Miss Jordin, and it's just cool. Like these
are the good things about social media, being able to
stay in touch with people and that kind of thing.
It's just that's the good of it all, and I
think it's really cool.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
While this is a big moment for kids going back
to school, it's a huge moment for teachers. You may
not know that you could be the biggest influence on
a kid's life starting day one, and you may not
know that for years until you get a random Instagram
follow or a friend request years down the line, and
then you have lunch at Olive Garden. So make it
(03:53):
a great school year. If you want to share with us,
the greatest teacher you ever had? A five five grave
zero Michael, what's up my guy? Jamie Davis of Ardmore,
she taught me when I was in school, and she
taught my two kids when I was in elementary school.
That is so cool years ago. Easy. That can be
really cool or it could be really bad because if
(04:16):
Jamie's like, I had your dadd in class, it's all
how Jamie says it. Oh yeah, she was the best,
and she even said, you know, you just like your daddy.
But again that depending on how she says it, where
she puts the inflection, could be very different. She could say,
(04:36):
you're just like your daddy, or she could go, you're.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Just like your daddy, but you be out.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I don't think she would be his favorite teacher if
he wasn't like a well behaved kid.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
So I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Were you a good student?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
No, that's why he skipped over that compliment that I
gave him.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
He's like, Michael, thank you, buddy, have a great said, mindy,
what's going on?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
My favorite teacher was my first grade teacher. Her name
was Michelle. I have not been able to get in
contact with her, which I don't know where she lives now.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
This was way back in Missouri.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Yes, but she was a huge impact on my life
because I was in foster care at that time. So
she was like the biggest impact of a teacher that
I've had, and I still think about her day in.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
And day out.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Can you dive into a little more of the impact
that she had on you.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
She was just a teacher, like if I was having
that hard day, I could go and sit and I
could go up to her desk and sit there and
talk with her. Like we had a hard I mean
a lot of people had a hard life. But my
childhood was very traumatic for me. So if I just
didn't feel like doing my class work that day, like
I would tell her I'm not doing it or I
(05:53):
don't feel like I want to do it, and she
would just let me sit up at her desk and
talk with her all day.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It's such a good room that teachers really do way
more than just teach the curriculum. It's those life lessons.
It's opening up and lending in the year. My mom
was an educator for years, and I grew up in
a family full of teachers, and I'm hoping the words
that you're sharing about your favorite teacher are some of
the things that people are saying about my family.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I just think it takes a special person.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
It does. Like I was a toddler teacher, so I
worked at the daycare teacher the littles and their parents
are like, you're being such a huge impact, And I'm like,
I know how actual teachers like in the school still
because they were impacts. My son's pree k teacher is
his favorite teacher. She showed up for kindergarten graduation. She
(06:41):
told him to call when he graduates middle school and
high school, and she's going to be.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
There like it's just going the extra mile.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, well, I hope you find her, whether you've looked
on social media, googled her, maybe even use AI now,
I hope you find her. I hope you guys reconnect
because I'm sure she'd love to hear what you said. Yeah, well,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
You all have a great day, you.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Too, giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's
the good good on the Spencer Grave Show. You know,
as somebody who has rescued two pitbulls in my life
and I love them to death, both for and Zeus.
I love this story. Denny Van Camp of Toledo, Ohio
just left a two hundred thousand dollars donation to the
(07:25):
Dog and Animal Shelter where he adopted his beloved dog Roxy.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's gonna make such an impact. He doesn't even understand
what they're going to be able to do now because
of his generosity.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well done.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
We have so many great organizations that have adoptable pets
right now a lot of them are getting overrun and
they're always looking for new families or fosters. So if
you have one in your area, make sure you get
in touch and help out if you can. Blair, I
probably put in six miles walking around Bristol Motor Speedway
for the Speedway Classic on Saturday and all that rain.
(07:59):
First I had to start out in the FanFest, which
was right outside the racetrack. Then I go into the
track all the way down to the infield. Had to
do all the stuff I had to do there. And
then my friend who was that private pilot where we
ended up flying up, I had to go find him.
One hundred thousand people what happened? Cell phones weren't working,
so I went to his last known location. You should
(08:21):
be proud of me. I was trying to check in
on people's locations, and that was at the top of
Bristol Motor Speedway. So I'm all the way at the bottom.
I walk all the way to the top. He's nowhere
to be seen. I make this left hand turn and
all of a sudden, this elderly guy starts falling backwards
and he dropped like a bag of hammers. Oh no,
So I went down to a knee and like put
(08:42):
my hand behind his head and tried to slide a
jacket underneath his head and trying to wake him up
and help him come to and checking his pulse and
all this kind of stuff. A couple other nurses came
over and they jumped in, so I stood up and
yelled for a medic. It was a crazy situation. About
twenty seconds after hear he opened up his eyes and
I was standing over him like trying to, you know,
(09:04):
get him to communicate with us.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, he says to me, who are you? And I
said I'm Spencer, and he goes, I thought you were Jesus.
Am I alive?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Oh no, we don't need you being compared to Jesus here.
I'm telling you, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It was crazy to me, but if you think about it,
he passed out and the first thing he sees when
he opens up his eyes is a man with a
beard and.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
A big man, like a tall man, Like you know
what I mean. I'd be scared, honestly.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
So we ended up getting a some medical personnel over.
They checked his vital signs. It seems like he was
just suffering from dehydration. So I gave him a water
that I was bringing up to my buddy, and I
was so worried for him and so scared for him,
and he was sharing with us that it was the
first time he ever passed out, and to make it
a little more of a joke to get everybody kind
(09:53):
of laughing and break the attention at how crazy this was.
I said, is this your wife? And he said yeah,
And I said, I don't know how you haven't passed.
If I woke up next to her every day, I
thought I'd see an angel every morning. And she just
punched me in the arm and I just looked at her.
I was like, you punch like my mother. It's like
that really soft little punch that a mom does.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Your mama, your mama used to I'm sure spank you.
So I mean, how soft was it? Honestly?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But they were so sweet. And I checked in with
them on Sunday just to make sure that they were okay.
And it seems like he's doing good. But that was
a crazy moment at the Speedway Classic. It's how Country
are You? On the Spencer Grave Show, Heather, where are
you from New Market? You ready to play? How country
are you?
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Suppose?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, that doesn't sound confident.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
She's trying to like lay low, she's trying to like
fake us out here.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Well, you know you're only confident until you get it wrong.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
All right, scale it one to country. How country are you?
Speaker 6 (10:49):
I'd like to say at least a six?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Okay, six, we'll go with that. Here's three questions. Get
as many of them right as fast as you can.
That number will climb. What body part did Tim McGraw
injure when he was trying to win her that teddy
bear his arms? I throwed out my shoulder, but I
want her that Are we going to call it? Or
(11:14):
are we going to get nurses and doctors who jump
on and go, well, it's a shoulder.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
I could have been more specific, but it was.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
A shoulder is a part of the arm, So you're
giving it. I'm giving it to her.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I agree with Blair. Whatever she says. She watches Gray's Anatomy,
she must have a basic actor. All right, here we go.
What was your mema? Famous for corn bread?
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Because they were delicious?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
How did she make it that was like so good?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You know?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Buttermilk and love is all all I can guess because
I've tried to remake it for years and it just
it's not the same.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
There's something crazy. It's that love is that secret ingredient?
And did her did you call her mema or with
che granny or.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
What she was grainy.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Okay, final question, what's the most redneck thing you've ever done.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
I've lived on a cattle farm, so I mean I
worked cattle. I don't know if that's considered red neck,
but it's country. What kind of thing from them to
pull a baby out and all of the above that
right there.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
If you're baby out, then all of a sudden, you
were a part of that animal's life. So yes, that
would be extremely country and very nicely.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
No holding my beer and watch this moment's come to
my mind right right this moment.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Great job today eight point three awesome. So if your
kids are going back to school today and maybe you
just dropped them off, what do you do after other
than cry in the car and eat Ben and Jerry's.
Do you go to the bar and get a Mama
rita where you can just sit down and relax because
you know your kids are back in school or what
have happens with parents. I've got a friend of mine,
(13:01):
that's what she does. Every single year. She and her
girlfriends will go have lunch together so they can have
a couple margarita's.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Hey, I mean I think it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I know a couple of people that as soon as
the kiddos get back into the routine, maybe not on
the first day because that can be a little chaotic
of a morning, but she never gets to go to
Starbucks just her.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So that's what she does.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
She goes and she sits at Starbucks and drinks her
drink and doesn't have to buy seventeen cake pops for
the little tiny humans.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
It must be nice to have a day where you
don't hear mom or dad two hundred times before eight
o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh, they're still hearing it two hundred times before eight
o'clock in the morning. But at least you know there's
an end in sight.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
If you're a parent, you're dropping your kid off for
the first day of school today, tomorrow, this week, eight
five five grave zero. Just share with us what parents do.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I wanted to go to brunch and have mimosas and
you know, do the mom thing with all the stay
at home moms. But I did, and I went back
to bed, like we're like forty five more minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
All I'm saying is sleep is better than mimosa's most days.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I'll throw it out there.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I know. It's it's it really should be the thing
like that. They should just nationally have it, like back
to school day. Just this. There are all the places
that are having brunch spots for the moms, you know,
Bloody Mary's, you name it.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Do places do that where they offer brunch and mimosas
to parents on the first day of school.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I've never seen that.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I don't know. I don't think so. I think it's
browned upon a drink this early on a weekday on
vacation when you're not on vacation. However, one year, my
girlfriends and I got together and we did like a
beach day at the lake and everybody bought brought stuff
for mimosas and Bloody Mary's and we did that until, like,
I don't know, twelve thirty ish.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Also a solid idea.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah, which was a great idea. But all those moms
now are teas and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yes, so now they're feeling the crushing blow of back
to school.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
We actually have to go back to right, That's exactly
it's it's depressing. But there's a place that we go
to a lot near my house. But they were like
mocktails and I'm like, well, that's disappointing.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Mocktails. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
That's not like an alcoholic or anything.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
But there's just certain moments that.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Just scream like you need a dream alcohol.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yes, absolutely Well, if anybody owns a restaurant and they
need a killer idea first day of school, they need
to offer up mimosa and brunch to stay at home parents.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Yes, you're exactly right to parents. There you go. Don't
single it out just in the moment.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I'm sure there are some dads who are dropping kids
off at school. We all know the onus is usually
on the moms, but we understand.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Well, thank you, Yeah, you're so welcome.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I want you to think about this. If you were
rich and famous, like just woke up tomorrow and all
of a sudden you were the biggest name in pop culture,
what would be the one thing you would love to
request to be able to do? Because I think jelly
Roll got to live that out this weekend through title
(16:11):
jelly Roll was part of WWE Summer Slam and he
got put through a table by Logan Bull.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Okay, this is easy for me. This is so easy
for me. I have thought about this many times. Actually,
I got to do.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
A Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
It actually doesn't because I don't want to sing with them.
I just want to be their friends. But I want
to be able to run through the power tea at
a Tennessee football game with coach Smokey.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
And the team.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Wow, Like, I want to do that so bad, I think.
I mean, like as I'm crying every time that I
see that in person, I think that, like, how cool.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Would it be to do that?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
They're such a bad football team, though, I feel like
I can make that happen.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
When we made it to the playoffs, the same didn't.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I'm I'm a Penn State fan. We made it to
the playoffs, you know.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Okay, well, you're like a Penn State fan.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Con I went to Benson. That does. But your team
is so bad. I feel like I can make that
happen for you. Right now. I bet I could call
them and go, will you let Okay Blair Davis run
the power tea? They might even let you play quarterback.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Okay, First of all, again, we made it to the playoffs.
We're not a bad team.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
We'll see you there again this year.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Do have some sad news to pass? Along to You.
Jeanie Seely, who is known for her time with the
Grand Ole Opry, passed away over the weekend. She did
a song that won or four Grammys by the Way,
called Don't Touch Me.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Do Touch Me if you don't love Me.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Sweet.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
A lot of tributes were coming in from people like
Reba McIntyre and more, and then actress Lonnie Anderson, who
played the blonde Bombshell on WKRP in Cincinnati. She was
also one of the girls Chrissy in Three's company to
be ashamed of himself.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
You know, I'm really getting tired of it. He wants
to take me to lunch.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
She wants to take me to dinner.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
He wants to take me dancing.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And every time I say no, he says, there's yes
in my eyes.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Do you see yes in there anywhere?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I'll speak to him.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I do anything if you could get him off my back.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
She passed away after a long battle with COPD, which
is related to her smoking most of her adult life.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You know, I just find it's so crazy that we
wait a lot of times to say all these wonderful
things about people after they pass away.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
It's just like a little reminder for me tell people
you love them while you still can.
This week. We're gonna have multiple days of when kids
go back to school. Some start today, some on Wednesday,
some on Thursday. But since it is back to school time.
If I asked you who your favorite teacher is, who
would you say a five to five grave zero, It.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Would have been my librarian, Miss Jordon the librarian. Yes,
And I actually found Miss Jorden through friends, Facebook, all
the things, and I guess I's spent about a year
ago now, But me and her went to lunch after
all these years, and it was so special.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
What did you learn from that lunch that.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
She listens every single morning to the show?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, shout out to her.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Then, Yes, Miss Jordin, and she was just such a
special woman in my life. I spent more time in
the library, not necessarily reading, but just hanging out with her.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Kind of garten fifth grade.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
She would I can say this now because I don't
I don't think my PE teacher, mister Biggs is gonna
like make me run laps. But she would write a
note saying that she needed help in the library to
get me out.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Of Pe, like three or four times a week.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
And I would just go hang out with her, and
I don't know what it was that created that special
bond that she and I had, But all these years later,
even before we got to see each other and have lunch,
she just she made such an impact in my life.
And you know, I met her, I think I think
officially met her third grade year, but like it was
(01:32):
around her kindergarten, you know, go into the library, but third,
fourth and fifth grade. She was such a vital part
of my story and I'll forever be grateful.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It's so interesting when you bring up who's your favorite
teacher that you would go with the library, and she
probably doesn't get that a lot. And it's kudos to
how much of an impact she made on you. And
she probably had no idea, I'm sure when you saw
her lunch and told her that, she.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Was like what crod? She was like, why are you crying?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And I'm like this, it just's nursing. We were at
Olive Garden, Thank you very much. We were at Olive Garden.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
My favorite teacher was Missus Pugh and that's her married name.
She was Missus Whitehead. And I look back at it now,
I literally had Missus Pew when she was going through
so many changes in her life. She had just graduated college.
She was a first and second year teacher. She was
dating somebody, she got engaged, she got married when I
(02:29):
no longer had her as a teacher. Our families became
really good friends. They lived really close to us. They
were going to build a new house. My parents offered
up the house that or the like kind of apartment
setup that my grandmother lived in. Well, she was living
with us. They offered that to her and her husband
to live in while their house was getting built. So
(02:50):
I would see these folks all the time. And now
we're friends on Facebook. I've watched her kids grow up
when I'm a pilot.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Now, isn't that cord I mean, you know, Miss Jordan
doesn't post a lot on Facebook, but every now and
then she'll get like on a liking spring go like
like ten of my posts and whatnot. And I always
love too, because I'm friends with some more of my
elementary school teachers and things like that on Facebook, and
they'll post pictures and it's always me and Miss Jordin.
Like I'm never hanging out with the kids. It's always
(03:20):
me and Miss Jordin, and it's just cool. Like these
are the good things about social media, being able to
stay in touch with people and that kind of thing.
It's just that's the good of it all, and I
think it's really cool.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
While this is a big moment for kids going back
to school, it's a huge moment for teachers. You may
not know that you could be the biggest influence on
a kid's life starting day one, and you may not
know that for years until you get a random Instagram
follow or a friend request years down the line, and
then you have lunch at Olive Garden. So make it
(03:53):
a great school year. If you want to share with us,
the greatest teacher you ever had? A five five grave
zero Michael, what's up my guy? Jamie Davis of Ardmore,
she taught me when I was in school, and she
taught my two kids when I was in elementary school.
That is so cool years ago. Easy. That can be
really cool or it could be really bad because if
(04:16):
Jamie's like, I had your dadd in class, it's all
how Jamie says it. Oh yeah, she was the best,
and she even said, you know, you just like your daddy.
But again that depending on how she says it, where
she puts the inflection, could be very different. She could say,
(04:36):
you're just like your daddy, or she could go, you're.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Just like your daddy, but you be out.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I don't think she would be his favorite teacher if
he wasn't like a well behaved kid.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
So I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Were you a good student?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
No, that's why he skipped over that compliment that I
gave him.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
He's like, Michael, thank you, buddy, have a great said, mindy,
what's going on?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
My favorite teacher was my first grade teacher. Her name
was Michelle. I have not been able to get in
contact with her, which I don't know where she lives now.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
This was way back in Missouri.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Yes, but she was a huge impact on my life
because I was in foster care at that time. So
she was like the biggest impact of a teacher that
I've had, and I still think about her day in.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
And day out.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Can you dive into a little more of the impact
that she had on you.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
She was just a teacher, like if I was having
that hard day, I could go and sit and I
could go up to her desk and sit there and
talk with her. Like we had a hard I mean
a lot of people had a hard life. But my
childhood was very traumatic for me. So if I just
didn't feel like doing my class work that day, like
I would tell her I'm not doing it or I
(05:53):
don't feel like I want to do it, and she
would just let me sit up at her desk and
talk with her all day.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It's such a good room that teachers really do way
more than just teach the curriculum. It's those life lessons.
It's opening up and lending in the year. My mom
was an educator for years, and I grew up in
a family full of teachers, and I'm hoping the words
that you're sharing about your favorite teacher are some of
the things that people are saying about my family.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I just think it takes a special person.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
It does. Like I was a toddler teacher, so I
worked at the daycare teacher the littles and their parents
are like, you're being such a huge impact, And I'm like,
I know how actual teachers like in the school still
because they were impacts. My son's pree k teacher is
his favorite teacher. She showed up for kindergarten graduation. She
(06:41):
told him to call when he graduates middle school and
high school, and she's going to be.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
There like it's just going the extra mile.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, well, I hope you find her, whether you've looked
on social media, googled her, maybe even use AI now,
I hope you find her. I hope you guys reconnect
because I'm sure she'd love to hear what you said. Yeah, well,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
You all have a great day, you.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Too, giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's
the good good on the Spencer Grave Show. You know,
as somebody who has rescued two pitbulls in my life
and I love them to death, both for and Zeus.
I love this story. Denny Van Camp of Toledo, Ohio
just left a two hundred thousand dollars donation to the
(07:25):
Dog and Animal Shelter where he adopted his beloved dog Roxy.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's gonna make such an impact. He doesn't even understand
what they're going to be able to do now because
of his generosity.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well done.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
We have so many great organizations that have adoptable pets
right now a lot of them are getting overrun and
they're always looking for new families or fosters. So if
you have one in your area, make sure you get
in touch and help out if you can. Blair, I
probably put in six miles walking around Bristol Motor Speedway
for the Speedway Classic on Saturday and all that rain.
(07:59):
First I had to start out in the FanFest, which
was right outside the racetrack. Then I go into the
track all the way down to the infield. Had to
do all the stuff I had to do there. And
then my friend who was that private pilot where we
ended up flying up, I had to go find him.
One hundred thousand people what happened? Cell phones weren't working,
so I went to his last known location. You should
(08:21):
be proud of me. I was trying to check in
on people's locations, and that was at the top of
Bristol Motor Speedway. So I'm all the way at the bottom.
I walk all the way to the top. He's nowhere
to be seen. I make this left hand turn and
all of a sudden, this elderly guy starts falling backwards
and he dropped like a bag of hammers. Oh no,
So I went down to a knee and like put
(08:42):
my hand behind his head and tried to slide a
jacket underneath his head and trying to wake him up
and help him come to and checking his pulse and
all this kind of stuff. A couple other nurses came
over and they jumped in, so I stood up and
yelled for a medic. It was a crazy situation. About
twenty seconds after hear he opened up his eyes and
I was standing over him like trying to, you know,
(09:04):
get him to communicate with us.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, he says to me, who are you? And I
said I'm Spencer, and he goes, I thought you were Jesus.
Am I alive?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Oh no, we don't need you being compared to Jesus here.
I'm telling you, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It was crazy to me, but if you think about it,
he passed out and the first thing he sees when
he opens up his eyes is a man with a
beard and.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
A big man, like a tall man, Like you know
what I mean. I'd be scared, honestly.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
So we ended up getting a some medical personnel over.
They checked his vital signs. It seems like he was
just suffering from dehydration. So I gave him a water
that I was bringing up to my buddy, and I
was so worried for him and so scared for him,
and he was sharing with us that it was the
first time he ever passed out, and to make it
a little more of a joke to get everybody kind
(09:53):
of laughing and break the attention at how crazy this was.
I said, is this your wife? And he said yeah,
And I said, I don't know how you haven't passed.
If I woke up next to her every day, I
thought I'd see an angel every morning. And she just
punched me in the arm and I just looked at her.
I was like, you punch like my mother. It's like
that really soft little punch that a mom does.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Your mama, your mama used to I'm sure spank you.
So I mean, how soft was it? Honestly?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But they were so sweet. And I checked in with
them on Sunday just to make sure that they were okay.
And it seems like he's doing good. But that was
a crazy moment at the Speedway Classic. It's how Country
are You? On the Spencer Grave Show, Heather, where are
you from New Market? You ready to play? How country
are you?
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Suppose?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, that doesn't sound confident.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
She's trying to like lay low, she's trying to like
fake us out here.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Well, you know you're only confident until you get it wrong.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
All right, scale it one to country. How country are you?
Speaker 6 (10:49):
I'd like to say at least a six?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Okay, six, we'll go with that. Here's three questions. Get
as many of them right as fast as you can.
That number will climb. What body part did Tim McGraw
injure when he was trying to win her that teddy
bear his arms? I throwed out my shoulder, but I
want her that Are we going to call it? Or
(11:14):
are we going to get nurses and doctors who jump
on and go, well, it's a shoulder.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
I could have been more specific, but it was.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
A shoulder is a part of the arm, So you're
giving it. I'm giving it to her.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I agree with Blair. Whatever she says. She watches Gray's Anatomy,
she must have a basic actor. All right, here we go.
What was your mema? Famous for corn bread?
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Because they were delicious?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
How did she make it that was like so good?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You know?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Buttermilk and love is all all I can guess because
I've tried to remake it for years and it just
it's not the same.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
There's something crazy. It's that love is that secret ingredient?
And did her did you call her mema or with
che granny or.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
What she was grainy.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Okay, final question, what's the most redneck thing you've ever done.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
I've lived on a cattle farm, so I mean I
worked cattle. I don't know if that's considered red neck,
but it's country. What kind of thing from them to
pull a baby out and all of the above that
right there.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
If you're baby out, then all of a sudden, you
were a part of that animal's life. So yes, that
would be extremely country and very nicely.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
No holding my beer and watch this moment's come to
my mind right right this moment.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Great job today eight point three awesome. So if your
kids are going back to school today and maybe you
just dropped them off, what do you do after other
than cry in the car and eat Ben and Jerry's.
Do you go to the bar and get a Mama
rita where you can just sit down and relax because
you know your kids are back in school or what
have happens with parents. I've got a friend of mine,
(13:01):
that's what she does. Every single year. She and her
girlfriends will go have lunch together so they can have
a couple margarita's.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Hey, I mean I think it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I know a couple of people that as soon as
the kiddos get back into the routine, maybe not on
the first day because that can be a little chaotic
of a morning, but she never gets to go to
Starbucks just her.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So that's what she does.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
She goes and she sits at Starbucks and drinks her
drink and doesn't have to buy seventeen cake pops for
the little tiny humans.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
It must be nice to have a day where you
don't hear mom or dad two hundred times before eight
o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh, they're still hearing it two hundred times before eight
o'clock in the morning. But at least you know there's
an end in sight.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
If you're a parent, you're dropping your kid off for
the first day of school today, tomorrow, this week, eight
five five grave zero. Just share with us what parents do.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I wanted to go to brunch and have mimosas and
you know, do the mom thing with all the stay
at home moms. But I did, and I went back
to bed, like we're like forty five more minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
All I'm saying is sleep is better than mimosa's most days.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I'll throw it out there.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I know. It's it's it really should be the thing
like that. They should just nationally have it, like back
to school day. Just this. There are all the places
that are having brunch spots for the moms, you know,
Bloody Mary's, you name it.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Do places do that where they offer brunch and mimosas
to parents on the first day of school.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I've never seen that.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I don't know. I don't think so. I think it's
browned upon a drink this early on a weekday on
vacation when you're not on vacation. However, one year, my
girlfriends and I got together and we did like a
beach day at the lake and everybody bought brought stuff
for mimosas and Bloody Mary's and we did that until, like,
I don't know, twelve thirty ish.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Also a solid idea.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah, which was a great idea. But all those moms
now are teas and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yes, so now they're feeling the crushing blow of back
to school.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
We actually have to go back to right, That's exactly
it's it's depressing. But there's a place that we go
to a lot near my house. But they were like
mocktails and I'm like, well, that's disappointing.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Mocktails. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
That's not like an alcoholic or anything.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
But there's just certain moments that.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Just scream like you need a dream alcohol.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yes, absolutely Well, if anybody owns a restaurant and they
need a killer idea first day of school, they need
to offer up mimosa and brunch to stay at home parents.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Yes, you're exactly right to parents. There you go. Don't
single it out just in the moment.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I'm sure there are some dads who are dropping kids
off at school. We all know the onus is usually
on the moms, but we understand.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Well, thank you, Yeah, you're so welcome.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I want you to think about this. If you were
rich and famous, like just woke up tomorrow and all
of a sudden you were the biggest name in pop culture,
what would be the one thing you would love to
request to be able to do? Because I think jelly
Roll got to live that out this weekend through title
(16:11):
jelly Roll was part of WWE Summer Slam and he
got put through a table by Logan Bull.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Okay, this is easy for me. This is so easy
for me. I have thought about this many times. Actually,
I got to do.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
A Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
It actually doesn't because I don't want to sing with them.
I just want to be their friends. But I want
to be able to run through the power tea at
a Tennessee football game with coach Smokey.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
And the team.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Wow, Like, I want to do that so bad, I think.
I mean, like as I'm crying every time that I
see that in person, I think that, like, how cool.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Would it be to do that?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
They're such a bad football team, though, I feel like
I can make that happen.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
When we made it to the playoffs, the same didn't.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I'm I'm a Penn State fan. We made it to
the playoffs, you know.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Okay, well, you're like a Penn State fan.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Con I went to Benson. That does. But your team
is so bad. I feel like I can make that
happen for you. Right now. I bet I could call
them and go, will you let Okay Blair Davis run
the power tea? They might even let you play quarterback.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Okay, First of all, again, we made it to the playoffs.
We're not a bad team.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
We'll see you there again this year.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Do have some sad news to pass? Along to You.
Jeanie Seely, who is known for her time with the
Grand Ole Opry, passed away over the weekend. She did
a song that won or four Grammys by the Way,
called Don't Touch Me.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Do Touch Me if you don't love Me.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Sweet.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
A lot of tributes were coming in from people like
Reba McIntyre and more, and then actress Lonnie Anderson, who
played the blonde Bombshell on WKRP in Cincinnati. She was
also one of the girls Chrissy in Three's company to
be ashamed of himself.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
You know, I'm really getting tired of it. He wants
to take me to lunch.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
She wants to take me to dinner.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
He wants to take me dancing.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And every time I say no, he says, there's yes
in my eyes.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Do you see yes in there anywhere?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I'll speak to him.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I do anything if you could get him off my back.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
She passed away after a long battle with COPD, which
is related to her smoking most of her adult life.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You know, I just find it's so crazy that we
wait a lot of times to say all these wonderful
things about people after they pass away.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
It's just like a little reminder for me tell people
you love them while you still can.
