Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's a Dutch company that makes potato chips and they've
launched the first ever nine volt battery flavored tortilla chips.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
But why, like why.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Apparently kids in the nineties were licking batteries. I mean
I grew up in the nineties. I don't remember licking batteries.
I think I heard of kids doing this, but I
was like, that's pretty stupid. So now the company said
it wants to recreate that nostalgic metallic taste and buzzing
feeling without any actual harm or battery parts.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
And people wonder why. I'm concerned for society.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Like why is this?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Why did how did it get as far as it's happening,
Like I could almost understand if one person brought this up,
like in a random meeting and everybody looked at him
like no, right, No.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Shouldn't have left the boardroom. One of those things maybe
comes with an email after like spen, thanks so much
for being a part of the meeting, but I think
your time here is done.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Also, we are going to actually get a therapist to
and help you bewill I don't kids bizarre?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
As a kid, what was the most bizarre thing you
ever ate?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I thought that bubble bath was like a good tasting dream.
I'm sorry, Yeah, I thought that.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The woman who just criticized the battery tasting tortilla chips
was drinking bubble bath.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Well, and mama, bitch, you know when you play in
the bathtub and you like everybody made potions, right, like
everybody made potions in the bathtub.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Thought smells good?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh my god, you're burping and it looks like a
little kid's birthday party in the backyard.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, exactly, exactly. But I didn't lick batteries. What did
you eat, Sandy nickel on the beach? Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Just pot that thing in your chick lit.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, and this is what's wrong with us.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Thank you. Yes, imagine if I had had a battery,
I would have had a bunch of metal. That would
have been terrible.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Oh, that combination could have been horrible.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
There's something bizarre you ate As a kid eight five
five grave zero, it's brettany.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Me and my friends, we would eat the tips of
burnt matches and I and I almost think I would
do the same thing today as an adult.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Wow, why is that not wild?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Why, well, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It's got like a bitter taste, kind of like I
wouldn't say, like sulfur or whatever, but it's kind of
like bitter sour in your mouth. And I always thought
it tasted good. And so my grandmother, my grandmother would
bring home these match books and for because she smoked,
and then come to find out I had button them
(02:35):
all up, just like to eat a tip off.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Right, So wait a minute, do you like smoky flavor
in your food? Like if you go to barbecue or
you get a turkey sandwich, so you need to have
smoke turkey?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yes, I do. Right, explains a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So well it does. If we got you potato chips
and they were smoky flavor, you would just down those
things like tik taks.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh lord, Yes, I know what I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You for Christmas, A bunch of match books. JD. What's
going on?
Speaker 7 (03:04):
Nothing much? Riding down the road listening to the Special
Graves Morners show.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Like that, what's happening in that vehicle? We just heard
a wild noise.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Shook the drivers here is getting tired of the people
slowing down in the middle of the road on the
con trup.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I mean, I get it, well, JD.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
What can we do for you.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
I was just calling in about the bizarre food nostalgic
thing I was talking about radio.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Would you eat when you were a kid?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, this might.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Sound a little weird, but my uncle would catch walts
and dip them in chocolate and eat them when I
was a kid. So I tried it one time and
I did not lock it.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Would he kill the wasp? Or was it alive when
he dipped it in the chocolate?
Speaker 7 (03:40):
It was dead?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Which one you're okay?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Which one tasted better? Was it always? Wasp? Was like
yellow jackets? Was it honey bees? Carpenter bees? I bet
those are good. That's like the peanut version.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I bet none of them are good.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
It was the big red walt and once you don't
want to get stung.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Oh nice, Well at least it's a little more of
a meal and not just a little bite.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
At least you're allowed to tell us about it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Good Lord, thank you, JD. Appreciate you, Thank you, goud
giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the
good good on the Spencer Grave show, Blair, this is
right up your alley. Imagine being able to travel raise
money for charity. A good one Saint Jude's and also
(04:27):
raising eleven and a half million dollars when your goal
was just a million bucks.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean, sign me up.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
There was a YouTuber named Ryan and his wife. They
went on an epic road trip. They were going to
visit all fifty states in fifty days. They raised eleven
and a half million dollars and they even got to
go to Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
See that's incredible.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I mean, you take a passion, something you're so passionate about,
and then turn it into something so great no one
can complain about that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
On behalf of others just like us who have helped
raise money for Saint Jude. Those kids are gonna love y'all.
All right, let's play this morning. Are you smarter than
a fifth grader? We have Jordan, who's in fifth grade,
going up against Blair, who's been out of school for
almost fifteen years. Blair, how do you feel you might
(05:18):
do today?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You know, I think back to fifth grade and I
was more concerned about lunchtime than anything else.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So I don't know that I'll do fantastic.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Let's welcome in Jordan this morning. Jordan, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Really?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Are you excited about back to school? This year, or yes,
I'm excited for you too. We're gonna have a little
bit of a game between you and Blair. I'm gonna
ask you three questions. I'm gonna ask Blair the same questions,
and we're gonna see who's smarter.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So you know you're sitting in a really good place.
I have a feeling.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Why do you say that, Blair?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I just I have a feeling.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I'm not going to be very great at this, but
I'm going to give it my best efforts.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I mean, you should know these questions are ella mentary questions.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's been a hot minute since I was in fifth grade.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
All right, So what I'm gonna do, Jordan, is I'm
gonna have Blair leave the studio. She won't be able
to hear the questions or your answers, and then I'm
gonna bring her back in. Sound good? Yes, all right,
So Blair is now leaving the studio, she won't be
able to hear anything. Jordan, are you ready for the
three questions?
Speaker 8 (06:20):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
How many planets are there in our solar system?
Speaker 8 (06:25):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
What is the root word of indecision? There are three
basic types of muscle tissue in the human body. Smooth
and skeletal are two of them. What's the third? That
one's tough. I know that's tough. Just throw something out there,
(06:53):
Jordan yack Rough you said, yeah, like this dog. It's
nicely done. Okay, let's see if Blair is smarter than
a fifth grader? How many planets are there?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Are you using your fingers?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
No?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Is it? Eleven?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Eleven?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Sadly, that's wrong. It's eight. Oh it's not a good start.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
That's what I'm in. Eleven minus three?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
All right, here we go. Maybe this is a softball
for you. Okay, what is the root word of indecision?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Root word decision?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Is that your final answer? I have to ask, is
the confidence is not there?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Nicely done? You got that one.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Okay, final question. There are three basic types of muscle
tissue in the human body. Smooth, Hey, listen, you watch
Grayson atam. You you claim to be a doctor. You should
know this. Smooth and skeletal are two of them. What's
the third?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Well, obviously it would be come on, doctor, muscle.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Messcular muscles, muscular muscles.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's it. That's fine way answering.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That is the one question that Jordan didn't get today.
It's cardiac.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's the heart, which is muscular muscle.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Okay, thank you doctor, appreciate that. Welcome. Blair was only
able to get one of them right today. Jordan was
able to get two out of the three. So, Blair,
you are not smarter than a fifth grader.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I told you I wouldn't be. I'm not surprised by.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
This, Jordan, nicely done.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Thank you, Blair.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Why do you think people who are single choose not
to date right now?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I think that we're starting to see this trend of
people that didn't get married right out of college and
didn't prioritize dating in their college years, whether you were
actually in college or just that timeframe of your life,
and they kind of changed the narrative of the Southern
(09:16):
tradition in college or supposed to meet somebody and then
you get married right out of college and then one
year later you have a baby. I think that there's
this generation that was like, no, I want to go travel,
and I want to go in further my education even
more beyond that four years, and I want to get
established and that was never the case before.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So don't you think that would say that there's going
to be a lot of singles in their thirties. Like,
I've gone out and I've traveled, I've gone out, I've
established my career, and now I'm thinking, Okay, what am
I going to do the next fifteen to twenty years.
Maybe I want to start a family.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I think it's the exact opposite.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I think it's people have grown to like their independence,
and now they are in their thirties and they don't
have to quote unquote answer to anyone, whether it's a
spouse or a child or anything like that. I think
it's more of am I ready to give up being
selfish with my time in the way that I've lived
(10:13):
my life.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Being in the single community. The biggest feeling that I
have is why people who are single choose not to
date right now. It's a growing trend, and it's growing
among men faster than it is among women, which is
wild is because I personally feel like nobody's taking dating
seriously anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
No I can say that.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I think that once all these apps got involved and
internet dating became more popular.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
It's people too.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
What's the word like, if it happens, it happens, If
it's not prioritized anymore the way I.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Kind of resigned to the idea that yeah, things will
happen when they're supposed to, and maybe they don't happen.
So then here I am fifty five and it didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It's like, oh, wait, I'm single.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Big big is shoe right now is I'm forty two
And people are like, oh, you can have kids anytime
you want, sure, But I also want to be able
to spend time with my kids and do things that
are active with kids. So if I looked at the
dating pool, I would try to find a woman who's
thirty to thirty five, Like that's kind of the sweet spot,
and it doesn't exist around here. It doesn't exist of
(11:19):
a woman who wants to get married and have kids
and start a family. There's plenty that are just like, hey,
we can go out for dinner and spend a couple
months together, but then it's over.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah. I mean, and I think too with women, we
just have a different mindset of I think, how do
I say this?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And people be like, Blair, do you just simen?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
It's I think women have gotten to the point where
they're like, I don't need no man like I can
do all this on my own.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You think it's fiercely independent or do you think that
They've come across so many guys that just don't treat
relationships like they used to. They don't care about them,
that they're just that okay, So they got tired of it.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
They got tired of it.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I think at one time, you know, maybe you were
try try to be more serious about dating, but you
you know, ran into several bad apples and you're like,
it's not worth it for me. And I think overall,
I think that's the mindset of a lot of people.
Is is this actually worth it for me or not?
Like I like the life I'm living. Sure I would
like to have somebody, but I'm not unhappy.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Can we get some of our friends who are single
that listen to the Spencer Grave Show just jump on
the phone with us a five to five Grave zero.
Answer the question as a single person, why do you
choose not to date in the current climate? Kim? Are
you single?
Speaker 9 (12:32):
I am?
Speaker 8 (12:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Why do you feel single people are choosing not to
date right now and leaving dating apps and droves?
Speaker 9 (12:39):
Because I agree with what Blair said, It's just not
worth it. Anymore, because nobody wants to be serious, nobody
wants a family, nobody wants anything. They just want to
use you and move on to the next person.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
You know, It's funny. I was having a conversation with
a girlfriend of mine and she said one of the
reasons she's tired of dating is she doesn't want to
raise somebody else's child. And I was like, wait a minute,
are you talking about like the person has kids? And
they go, no, I don't want to raise that guy
as a child, because that's the way they want to.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
Exactly. I agree with her.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
So what are you going to do in the meantime
or have you just really given up on it?
Speaker 9 (13:23):
I've just given up. I mean, if it happens, it happens,
and if it doesn't, it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Thank you, Kim, You're welcome.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
Thank you, have.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
A great day.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
I love your show.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Appreciate you.
Speaker 10 (13:36):
Been single except for when I was in my twenties.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
I got married once and that wasn't.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Else And where are you at now? Are you dating?
Are you happy being alone?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
I've had a boyfriend for the last year and he's
far far away, so I get to keep my independence
and have fun when I see him.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Sounds like the dream, doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
In fact, one of the things that popped up in
this survey that they were talking about with the single
people is cohabitation is the reason why a lot of
people are retired of dating. They say that they would
be much happier living in their own space and their
boyfriend or girlfriend having their own space and then they
just come together on the weekends or whenever they want,
but they don't have to live together.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I'm telling you, it's become so important to people that
they have their time their space there.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Like you said, independence, yeah, independence is everything.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
But you you know, the big dating factor that you
get into is that you have to add to my
happiness because I'm happy, many you subtract. I'm done.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I bet there's a bunch of married people that are
listening to this and they're like, wait a minute, that's
a thing. You can still have a partner but live separately.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Where do I sign up for that?
Speaker 8 (14:44):
I was listening to the radio station and y'all were
talking about the dating thing. The issue is that we
want to date the person, we don't want their whole
family and the dysfunction that goes on the THEA. We're
just saying orship with things.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
We'd got our own dysfunction in our family. We're not
looking to take on another dysfunctional family. We just want
a relationship with them.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Okay, So if you realize that a person comes from
a dysfunctional family, are they off the table? Is that
a giant red flag?
Speaker 8 (15:17):
And you don't do don't keep their boundaries? Say it? Yes,
they're off the table. They got great tries and if
that boundary, if they can't hold their boundary.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Then no, I would be lying if I say I
didn't break up with somebody because of that. You know,
I felt like I started to picture myself going to
family vacations and holidays, and I just went, I don't
know if I see myself in that situation.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I'm just so thankful my husband didn't look into my
family prior, like I hooked him beforehand.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
But not much of a tree. It just goes straight
up kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of branches.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
Yeah, I've got an idea about the single not wanting
to date.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh Lord, have mercy, what happened? Ken?
Speaker 10 (16:02):
I've been to boards fifteen years and you know, not
trying to catch sound, you know, conceited or anything. But
I've got I've got a little money, and it seems
to me like that's what most of these women want.
I've dated two women in these fifteen years and learned
a lesson.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
What happened on the first one.
Speaker 10 (16:25):
Oh lord, the first one went We went on a cruise.
I had already had the cruise plans. She said she'd
like to go. So I'm like, you know, no big deal.
Once you get on the ship, you don't use cash.
Everything goes on to your car, right yeahbody, Well, when
I had time, Yeah, when I got my credit card bill,
(16:46):
they were thirty six hundred dollars where I'm trying to
figure out what it was, and I called a cruise line.
She bought her a diamond ring.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
She loved her. She really deserved a little treat.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Did she also herself to marry herself?
Speaker 10 (17:04):
I don't know, because after I called her, I never
spoke to R again.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Wow, So she kept the ring? You didn't even try
to get it back? So was that day one of
a seven day cruise?
Speaker 10 (17:15):
That was the third day?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Never said a word?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh yeah, Well, see, Ken, that's the problem. You run
around Florida. You got cruise money? Yeah, you know what
happened on the second one?
Speaker 10 (17:27):
The second one?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Oh y'all. Notice that every time I ask him what
happened on one or what happened on two, he pauses,
has a little laugh. You know, it's a good story.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well, it's called ceiling, and now we laugh.
Speaker 10 (17:42):
We're sitting in a restaurant one night in Nashville. Black
guy walks up. He starts talking to her and won't
know when she's gonna be back in Laarence, Alabama? Did
he'd like to see her again?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Had those two known each other or had something prior?
Speaker 10 (17:59):
Yeah, I just I just found it out. I got
to do it some chicking around, and you know, sure
enough she had dated this guy.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I just thought it was kind of brazen that this
guy would come up seeing that she was in a
booth with another man.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Clearly he didn't care, and he was just like.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Hey, when are you get to be back around town?
I mean that's usually one ticket to punch mouth, you know,
just boom.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Well, I'm not a I'm not a I'm not a physical.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
First, you're a lover, not a fighter. We get it.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Well.
Speaker 10 (18:27):
Evidently I'm not a lover. I like, you know, I
like I like my travels. I like to be able
to travel and go where I want to when I
want to. It a web answered anybody.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Ken, Thanks buddy, appreciate you have a great day. It's
How country are you? On The Spencer Grave Show, Dallas.
Where are you from?
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Coleman, Alabama?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
That's God co All right, So we're gonna ask you
three questions, but first self assessment time on a scale
of one of the country. How country are you?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
I'm gonna play it safe, but I'm going to say
a six point five.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Six point five.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I don't know why you guys play it safe. Just
come out and have that confidence and go I'm an eight.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Yeah, but I listened to that guy this morning and
he was real confident.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
She's like, I know, I know how this goes all right.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
For those that don't know, we actually played twice a day,
five point forty five and eight ten. So let's get
right into the three questions. Remington is a company that's
known for what raffles, not even close to a six
and a half. Here we go, how did you hurt
yourself being country?
Speaker 6 (19:32):
How did I hurt myself? Being country this, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Everybody does.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I'm probably jumping a fence.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Why were you jumping?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Well, I was missing my curfew. Oh I jumped a
fence and ended up cutting my foot having to go
to the emergency room. We're at the beach actually when
this happened. Yeah, well, my dad had to play golf
the next morning, so I went in there. Hey, I
cut my foot, and he's like, all right, well, your
mom's gonna take you to the emergency room. Let me
know if y'all need anything.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'll see you guys on the back nine. Our final question,
and you're doing great so far. Do you have any tattoos?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
I do. I do have one tattoo, okay, and it's
a it's like barbed wire, but for girls it's flowers.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Nice. I was gonna say, if you don't have tattoos,
you got to tell us what the most redneck tattoo is.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Oh yeah, my brother. My brother has a cote. He's
smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Okay, all right, So once again, six and a half
was a straight lie. You're in nine point seven.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Nine point seven, all right, that's a.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Good score to have, and with that you're.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Gonna get take my dip out of mine.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Man, you're gonna get tickets to Dirk's, Bentley and Zach Top.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Oh my gosh, that's awesome.
There's a Dutch company that makes potato chips and they've
launched the first ever nine volt battery flavored tortilla chips.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
But why, like why.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Apparently kids in the nineties were licking batteries. I mean
I grew up in the nineties. I don't remember licking batteries.
I think I heard of kids doing this, but I
was like, that's pretty stupid. So now the company said
it wants to recreate that nostalgic metallic taste and buzzing
feeling without any actual harm or battery parts.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
And people wonder why. I'm concerned for society.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Like why is this?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Why did how did it get as far as it's happening,
Like I could almost understand if one person brought this up,
like in a random meeting and everybody looked at him
like no, right, No.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Shouldn't have left the boardroom. One of those things maybe
comes with an email after like spen, thanks so much
for being a part of the meeting, but I think
your time here is done.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Also, we are going to actually get a therapist to
and help you bewill I don't kids bizarre?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
As a kid, what was the most bizarre thing you
ever ate?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I thought that bubble bath was like a good tasting dream.
I'm sorry, Yeah, I thought that.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The woman who just criticized the battery tasting tortilla chips
was drinking bubble bath.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Well, and mama, bitch, you know when you play in
the bathtub and you like everybody made potions, right, like
everybody made potions in the bathtub.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Thought smells good?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh my god, you're burping and it looks like a
little kid's birthday party in the backyard.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, exactly, exactly. But I didn't lick batteries. What did
you eat, Sandy nickel on the beach? Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Just pot that thing in your chick lit.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, and this is what's wrong with us.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Thank you. Yes, imagine if I had had a battery,
I would have had a bunch of metal. That would
have been terrible.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Oh, that combination could have been horrible.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
There's something bizarre you ate As a kid eight five
five grave zero, it's brettany.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Me and my friends, we would eat the tips of
burnt matches and I and I almost think I would
do the same thing today as an adult.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Wow, why is that not wild?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Why, well, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It's got like a bitter taste, kind of like I
wouldn't say, like sulfur or whatever, but it's kind of
like bitter sour in your mouth. And I always thought
it tasted good. And so my grandmother, my grandmother would
bring home these match books and for because she smoked,
and then come to find out I had button them
(02:35):
all up, just like to eat a tip off.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Right, So wait a minute, do you like smoky flavor
in your food? Like if you go to barbecue or
you get a turkey sandwich, so you need to have
smoke turkey?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yes, I do. Right, explains a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So well it does. If we got you potato chips
and they were smoky flavor, you would just down those
things like tik taks.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh lord, Yes, I know what I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You for Christmas, A bunch of match books. JD. What's
going on?
Speaker 7 (03:04):
Nothing much? Riding down the road listening to the Special
Graves Morners show.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Like that, what's happening in that vehicle? We just heard
a wild noise.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Shook the drivers here is getting tired of the people
slowing down in the middle of the road on the
con trup.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I mean, I get it, well, JD.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
What can we do for you.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
I was just calling in about the bizarre food nostalgic
thing I was talking about radio.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Would you eat when you were a kid?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, this might.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Sound a little weird, but my uncle would catch walts
and dip them in chocolate and eat them when I
was a kid. So I tried it one time and
I did not lock it.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Would he kill the wasp? Or was it alive when
he dipped it in the chocolate?
Speaker 7 (03:40):
It was dead?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Which one you're okay?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Which one tasted better? Was it always? Wasp? Was like
yellow jackets? Was it honey bees? Carpenter bees? I bet
those are good. That's like the peanut version.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I bet none of them are good.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
It was the big red walt and once you don't
want to get stung.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Oh nice, Well at least it's a little more of
a meal and not just a little bite.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
At least you're allowed to tell us about it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Good Lord, thank you, JD. Appreciate you, Thank you, goud
giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the
good good on the Spencer Grave show, Blair, this is
right up your alley. Imagine being able to travel raise
money for charity. A good one Saint Jude's and also
(04:27):
raising eleven and a half million dollars when your goal
was just a million bucks.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean, sign me up.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
There was a YouTuber named Ryan and his wife. They
went on an epic road trip. They were going to
visit all fifty states in fifty days. They raised eleven
and a half million dollars and they even got to
go to Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
See that's incredible.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I mean, you take a passion, something you're so passionate about,
and then turn it into something so great no one
can complain about that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
On behalf of others just like us who have helped
raise money for Saint Jude. Those kids are gonna love y'all.
All right, let's play this morning. Are you smarter than
a fifth grader? We have Jordan, who's in fifth grade,
going up against Blair, who's been out of school for
almost fifteen years. Blair, how do you feel you might
(05:18):
do today?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You know, I think back to fifth grade and I
was more concerned about lunchtime than anything else.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So I don't know that I'll do fantastic.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Let's welcome in Jordan this morning. Jordan, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Really?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Are you excited about back to school? This year, or yes,
I'm excited for you too. We're gonna have a little
bit of a game between you and Blair. I'm gonna
ask you three questions. I'm gonna ask Blair the same questions,
and we're gonna see who's smarter.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So you know you're sitting in a really good place.
I have a feeling.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Why do you say that, Blair?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I just I have a feeling.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I'm not going to be very great at this, but
I'm going to give it my best efforts.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I mean, you should know these questions are ella mentary questions.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's been a hot minute since I was in fifth grade.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
All right, So what I'm gonna do, Jordan, is I'm
gonna have Blair leave the studio. She won't be able
to hear the questions or your answers, and then I'm
gonna bring her back in. Sound good? Yes, all right,
So Blair is now leaving the studio, she won't be
able to hear anything. Jordan, are you ready for the
three questions?
Speaker 8 (06:20):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
How many planets are there in our solar system?
Speaker 8 (06:25):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
What is the root word of indecision? There are three
basic types of muscle tissue in the human body. Smooth
and skeletal are two of them. What's the third? That
one's tough. I know that's tough. Just throw something out there,
(06:53):
Jordan yack Rough you said, yeah, like this dog. It's
nicely done. Okay, let's see if Blair is smarter than
a fifth grader? How many planets are there?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Are you using your fingers?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
No?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Is it? Eleven?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Eleven?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Sadly, that's wrong. It's eight. Oh it's not a good start.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
That's what I'm in. Eleven minus three?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
All right, here we go. Maybe this is a softball
for you. Okay, what is the root word of indecision?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Root word decision?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Is that your final answer? I have to ask, is
the confidence is not there?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Nicely done? You got that one.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Okay, final question. There are three basic types of muscle
tissue in the human body. Smooth, Hey, listen, you watch
Grayson atam. You you claim to be a doctor. You should
know this. Smooth and skeletal are two of them. What's
the third?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Well, obviously it would be come on, doctor, muscle.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Messcular muscles, muscular muscles.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's it. That's fine way answering.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That is the one question that Jordan didn't get today.
It's cardiac.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's the heart, which is muscular muscle.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Okay, thank you doctor, appreciate that. Welcome. Blair was only
able to get one of them right today. Jordan was
able to get two out of the three. So, Blair,
you are not smarter than a fifth grader.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I told you I wouldn't be. I'm not surprised by.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
This, Jordan, nicely done.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Thank you, Blair.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Why do you think people who are single choose not
to date right now?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I think that we're starting to see this trend of
people that didn't get married right out of college and
didn't prioritize dating in their college years, whether you were
actually in college or just that timeframe of your life,
and they kind of changed the narrative of the Southern
(09:16):
tradition in college or supposed to meet somebody and then
you get married right out of college and then one
year later you have a baby. I think that there's
this generation that was like, no, I want to go travel,
and I want to go in further my education even
more beyond that four years, and I want to get
established and that was never the case before.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So don't you think that would say that there's going
to be a lot of singles in their thirties. Like,
I've gone out and I've traveled, I've gone out, I've
established my career, and now I'm thinking, Okay, what am
I going to do the next fifteen to twenty years.
Maybe I want to start a family.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I think it's the exact opposite.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I think it's people have grown to like their independence,
and now they are in their thirties and they don't
have to quote unquote answer to anyone, whether it's a
spouse or a child or anything like that. I think
it's more of am I ready to give up being
selfish with my time in the way that I've lived
(10:13):
my life.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Being in the single community. The biggest feeling that I
have is why people who are single choose not to
date right now. It's a growing trend, and it's growing
among men faster than it is among women, which is
wild is because I personally feel like nobody's taking dating
seriously anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
No I can say that.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I think that once all these apps got involved and
internet dating became more popular.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
It's people too.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
What's the word like, if it happens, it happens, If
it's not prioritized anymore the way I.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Kind of resigned to the idea that yeah, things will
happen when they're supposed to, and maybe they don't happen.
So then here I am fifty five and it didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
It's like, oh, wait, I'm single.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Big big is shoe right now is I'm forty two
And people are like, oh, you can have kids anytime
you want, sure, But I also want to be able
to spend time with my kids and do things that
are active with kids. So if I looked at the
dating pool, I would try to find a woman who's
thirty to thirty five, Like that's kind of the sweet spot,
and it doesn't exist around here. It doesn't exist of
(11:19):
a woman who wants to get married and have kids
and start a family. There's plenty that are just like, hey,
we can go out for dinner and spend a couple
months together, but then it's over.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah. I mean, and I think too with women, we
just have a different mindset of I think, how do
I say this?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And people be like, Blair, do you just simen?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
It's I think women have gotten to the point where
they're like, I don't need no man like I can
do all this on my own.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You think it's fiercely independent or do you think that
They've come across so many guys that just don't treat
relationships like they used to. They don't care about them,
that they're just that okay, So they got tired of it.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
They got tired of it.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I think at one time, you know, maybe you were
try try to be more serious about dating, but you
you know, ran into several bad apples and you're like,
it's not worth it for me. And I think overall,
I think that's the mindset of a lot of people.
Is is this actually worth it for me or not?
Like I like the life I'm living. Sure I would
like to have somebody, but I'm not unhappy.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Can we get some of our friends who are single
that listen to the Spencer Grave Show just jump on
the phone with us a five to five Grave zero.
Answer the question as a single person, why do you
choose not to date in the current climate? Kim? Are
you single?
Speaker 9 (12:32):
I am?
Speaker 8 (12:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Why do you feel single people are choosing not to
date right now and leaving dating apps and droves?
Speaker 9 (12:39):
Because I agree with what Blair said, It's just not
worth it. Anymore, because nobody wants to be serious, nobody
wants a family, nobody wants anything. They just want to
use you and move on to the next person.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
You know, It's funny. I was having a conversation with
a girlfriend of mine and she said one of the
reasons she's tired of dating is she doesn't want to
raise somebody else's child. And I was like, wait a minute,
are you talking about like the person has kids? And
they go, no, I don't want to raise that guy
as a child, because that's the way they want to.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
Exactly. I agree with her.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
So what are you going to do in the meantime
or have you just really given up on it?
Speaker 9 (13:23):
I've just given up. I mean, if it happens, it happens,
and if it doesn't, it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Thank you, Kim, You're welcome.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
Thank you, have.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
A great day.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
I love your show.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Appreciate you.
Speaker 10 (13:36):
Been single except for when I was in my twenties.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
I got married once and that wasn't.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Else And where are you at now? Are you dating?
Are you happy being alone?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
I've had a boyfriend for the last year and he's
far far away, so I get to keep my independence
and have fun when I see him.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Sounds like the dream, doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
In fact, one of the things that popped up in
this survey that they were talking about with the single
people is cohabitation is the reason why a lot of
people are retired of dating. They say that they would
be much happier living in their own space and their
boyfriend or girlfriend having their own space and then they
just come together on the weekends or whenever they want,
but they don't have to live together.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I'm telling you, it's become so important to people that
they have their time their space there.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Like you said, independence, yeah, independence is everything.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
But you you know, the big dating factor that you
get into is that you have to add to my
happiness because I'm happy, many you subtract. I'm done.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I bet there's a bunch of married people that are
listening to this and they're like, wait a minute, that's
a thing. You can still have a partner but live separately.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Where do I sign up for that?
Speaker 8 (14:44):
I was listening to the radio station and y'all were
talking about the dating thing. The issue is that we
want to date the person, we don't want their whole
family and the dysfunction that goes on the THEA. We're
just saying orship with things.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
We'd got our own dysfunction in our family. We're not
looking to take on another dysfunctional family. We just want
a relationship with them.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Okay, So if you realize that a person comes from
a dysfunctional family, are they off the table? Is that
a giant red flag?
Speaker 8 (15:17):
And you don't do don't keep their boundaries? Say it? Yes,
they're off the table. They got great tries and if
that boundary, if they can't hold their boundary.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Then no, I would be lying if I say I
didn't break up with somebody because of that. You know,
I felt like I started to picture myself going to
family vacations and holidays, and I just went, I don't
know if I see myself in that situation.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I'm just so thankful my husband didn't look into my
family prior, like I hooked him beforehand.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
But not much of a tree. It just goes straight
up kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of branches.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
Yeah, I've got an idea about the single not wanting
to date.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh Lord, have mercy, what happened? Ken?
Speaker 10 (16:02):
I've been to boards fifteen years and you know, not
trying to catch sound, you know, conceited or anything. But
I've got I've got a little money, and it seems
to me like that's what most of these women want.
I've dated two women in these fifteen years and learned
a lesson.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
What happened on the first one.
Speaker 10 (16:25):
Oh lord, the first one went We went on a cruise.
I had already had the cruise plans. She said she'd
like to go. So I'm like, you know, no big deal.
Once you get on the ship, you don't use cash.
Everything goes on to your car, right yeahbody, Well, when
I had time, Yeah, when I got my credit card bill,
(16:46):
they were thirty six hundred dollars where I'm trying to
figure out what it was, and I called a cruise line.
She bought her a diamond ring.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
She loved her. She really deserved a little treat.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Did she also herself to marry herself?
Speaker 10 (17:04):
I don't know, because after I called her, I never
spoke to R again.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Wow, So she kept the ring? You didn't even try
to get it back? So was that day one of
a seven day cruise?
Speaker 10 (17:15):
That was the third day?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Never said a word?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh yeah, Well, see, Ken, that's the problem. You run
around Florida. You got cruise money? Yeah, you know what
happened on the second one?
Speaker 10 (17:27):
The second one?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Oh y'all. Notice that every time I ask him what
happened on one or what happened on two, he pauses,
has a little laugh. You know, it's a good story.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well, it's called ceiling, and now we laugh.
Speaker 10 (17:42):
We're sitting in a restaurant one night in Nashville. Black
guy walks up. He starts talking to her and won't
know when she's gonna be back in Laarence, Alabama? Did
he'd like to see her again?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Had those two known each other or had something prior?
Speaker 10 (17:59):
Yeah, I just I just found it out. I got
to do it some chicking around, and you know, sure
enough she had dated this guy.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I just thought it was kind of brazen that this
guy would come up seeing that she was in a
booth with another man.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Clearly he didn't care, and he was just like.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Hey, when are you get to be back around town?
I mean that's usually one ticket to punch mouth, you know,
just boom.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Well, I'm not a I'm not a I'm not a physical.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
First, you're a lover, not a fighter. We get it.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Well.
Speaker 10 (18:27):
Evidently I'm not a lover. I like, you know, I
like I like my travels. I like to be able
to travel and go where I want to when I
want to. It a web answered anybody.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Ken, Thanks buddy, appreciate you have a great day. It's
How country are you? On The Spencer Grave Show, Dallas.
Where are you from?
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Coleman, Alabama?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
That's God co All right, So we're gonna ask you
three questions, but first self assessment time on a scale
of one of the country. How country are you?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
I'm gonna play it safe, but I'm going to say
a six point five.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Six point five.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I don't know why you guys play it safe. Just
come out and have that confidence and go I'm an eight.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Yeah, but I listened to that guy this morning and
he was real confident.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
She's like, I know, I know how this goes all right.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
For those that don't know, we actually played twice a day,
five point forty five and eight ten. So let's get
right into the three questions. Remington is a company that's
known for what raffles, not even close to a six
and a half. Here we go, how did you hurt
yourself being country?
Speaker 6 (19:32):
How did I hurt myself? Being country this, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Everybody does.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I'm probably jumping a fence.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Why were you jumping?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Well, I was missing my curfew. Oh I jumped a
fence and ended up cutting my foot having to go
to the emergency room. We're at the beach actually when
this happened. Yeah, well, my dad had to play golf
the next morning, so I went in there. Hey, I
