Speaker 1 (00:00):
Blair. Let's find out what people do for a living
and how much money they make. There's a lot of
people that are going to try to find jobs, and
it's good to have kind of an understanding of what
the salary range might be. And this is also important
because I saw a study the other day that shared,
if you think you have the lowest paying job in America,
you're probably wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Really.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
You know, I'll be interested to see if people are
transparent about, you know, how much they make, because that's
definitely a topic that a lot of people will choose
not to discuss.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Sure, and we can keep you anonymous. We don't have
to share your name. Just tell us about your job
and the amount of money that that pays you in
a calendar year. Eight five five Graves zero. The lowest
paying job in America, I'll start at number three. Are
people that work at amusement parks. So they're the ones
that run the rides and the concession stands. They only
(00:50):
make about thirty two thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
You know, this is going back to, you know, maybe
the reason I'm not riding all the roller coasters.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
You know, they feel underpaid. They may not work as
hard I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I don't know cooks that work in fast food restaurants,
so they never work up front, they don't deal with people.
They don't even work the drive through. They're just in
the back. They're number two on the lowest paid jobs
in America, just under thirty two thousand dollars a year.
And the person who shampoos your hair and that's all
they do at the salon, only makes about thirty thousand
(01:25):
dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I mean again, the joy that they're bringing me when
they're rubbing my head.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Come on, now, do you remember your first job and
how much money you actually made.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I worked at a tanning salon, and I believe it
was like seven dollars and twenty five cents an hour.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
What did you guys give away the little Playboy bunny stickers?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Of course we had all the stickers. I always went
with the palm tree.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It's like, if you remember the Playboy Bunny stickers at
the tanning salon, you probably need to schedule a doctor's
appointment for some random reason.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Today that specifically, you should probably reach out to Dermotiz.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I mean, if we're just going to be honest.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Share your job, what the details are of it and
how much money you make in a year with us
A five five grave zero, So share with us what
you do for a living and how much that job pays.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I work in the education system, and it's not necessarily
what I do. However, I want to kind of shout
out the people who work in support positions, people like
para professionals that work with special needs kids, are luncher
and workers, et cetera. Some of them in smaller counties
and areas that.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Are more rural.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
They only get the base pay from the state, and
they're starting out at twenty two and twenty three thousand
dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So that's interesting twenty five years because we have a
woman who's hanging on the phone right now and she
is a teacher's assistant for special ad We want to
talk to her and find out exactly how much money
she makes. But I love the fact that you're in
support of them, because we do need to realize that
it's not just teachers. Like some people here, Oh, I
work for the school and they think they're a teacher
(03:05):
salary and they're not always that way.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
No, some of those top out after twenty and twenty
five years if the thirty five to forty thousand dollars, Mark, Well.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Thank you very much. Let's talk to her, let's get
her on the phone. But we appreciate your support of that.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Sounds great. Have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Thank you. So we just had a woman call A
five five grave zero and she wants to kind of
shout out your career. Do you want to share with
everybody what you do and how much you make?
Speaker 5 (03:29):
UDL assistant at a high school that's a special needs
class and it's eighteen thousand for the ten months.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I'll see it every chance I get our educators, our teachers,
an everybody in the education system is underpaid.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yes, is that a standard teacher salary or are you
doing that somehow in like a part time scenario.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
No, that is a salary for an assistant. The teachers
get paid more.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Gotcha.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
The assistance that have to be there with the teacher
or in that setting, because I mean, we have ones
that are medically fragile, ones that you still need help
going to the bathroom and stuff like that. So that's
just part of it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
What's the difference between a teacher and an assistant? Job
responsibility wise.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
The teacher has everything falls on the teacher. The assistant
is there to pick up and help where the teacher can't.
Because we have a class of about thirteen and all
ranges of abilities, and there's one teacher and four assistants
in my classroom.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Have you been doing this for your entire career or
is this something that you decided to do, like just
later in life, later in life.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I've been at it.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
For two years.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
I subbed for a year and just fell in love
with it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So what were you doing before you got into all this.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I wasn't a counting assistant, a personal assistant for a gentleman.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Are you making better money doing that?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And you just got burned out. Yeah, completely understand that
it's a thankless job sometimes, but we thank you for doing.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It it is, And don't sell yourself short.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I know that a lot falls on the teachers, but
they couldn't do what they do without you. So make
sure that you don't, you know, put yourself down in
that situation, because your job is just as important.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Yeah, it's definitely a calling, but it is. We'll say
it on the pay check front.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Thank you very much, have a great day today. We
assume you're driving into school.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Now, yes, about four minutes out.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Have an awesome Dan, Thanks for listening to us on
your way to work.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 7 (05:43):
I am a federal police officer.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
WHOA, So that's different than the regular police officer.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Huh A little bit. It's a different bracket. It really
is hard retirement everything. But I work fifteen days a
month and I'm made seventy seven thousand.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Excuse me, you said you work fifteen days a month
and you made seventy seven thousand.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
What's the website to apply? Not for me, maybe for.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
A friend.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
USA jobs dot com?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Let me ask you, is this one of those situations
like what are your hours during those fifteen days that
you work? Are you like a twenty four on type thing?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Two thirty?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Like a lot of.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Times it's it's the reason y'are able to quote unquote
have so many days off is because it's not like
your typical eight hour day.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
Yeah, now we worked twelve hours, is okay. So it's
from six a m. Six pm and that's work. Every
other weekend I get off, So like, for instance, when
I go to work Friday, Saturday, Sunday the next week,
I'll have Friday, Saturday Sunday off.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So bla you're talking about like the twenty four on
forty eight off like our firefighters do a lot of
yeah times.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, I didn't know what the being a federal position
if y'all had, you know, something similar like that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Now, what kind of cases is a federal police officer doing?
Like are you pulling people over on the highway or
are you like really involved in some big investigations.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
No, opposite of all of that. I work in a hospital.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Oh oh wow, okay, So what does a day to
day look like for you?
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Then?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Like what is what are those job duties look like?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Is like why I sleep from seven to ten and
then I guess some coffee?
Speaker 9 (07:27):
Oh, nap time is from It is a lot of
deterrent just keeping you know, certain people out, homeless people
in Birmingham, like the Wander End.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
We do take people to jail. Not regularly though, so
it's more of customer service and just being you know,
just more of a deterrence. I would say.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Interesting, So that would be a great career. Somebody's looking
to get into law enforcement and maybe you want to
look at doing that. We appreciate you man, Thank you
so much for calling.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Thank you you too.
Speaker 10 (08:03):
I work at a memory care unit.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
What job do you have or you an LPN are
in nurses aid?
Speaker 10 (08:09):
I am the marketing director, but we have caregivers and
take care of them and they don't get paid a lot,
and so kudos to them. They're taking care of the
loved ones for people.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Tell us about being a marketing director. What kind of
salary does that carry?
Speaker 10 (08:27):
Well, it's probably about forty a year.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Okay. What goes into your role as a marketing director
specifically for Alzheimer's and dementia and memory care.
Speaker 10 (08:37):
I sit there and whenever someone calls about Mom, because
it's a memory care unit for women and they have
Alzheimer dementia, they want to know about the facility. I
do them a tour. I take them around, show them
the facility, show them their private room for mom to
live in for their maybe the rest of their life.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
You know.
Speaker 10 (08:59):
Yeah, and we work with them on their memory.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So you're kind of like a salesperson. Yes, nice? And
then do you handle like all the advertising for the organization.
This might be good for somebody who's younger, thinking, hey,
I want to go into advertising, and I didn't know
that that's something that you could actually do.
Speaker 10 (09:18):
We actually have a commercial on TV.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Wait a minute, are you in the commercial?
Speaker 10 (09:22):
I'm partifiically not, but the other employees are and my boss.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I was going to be like Blair, we're talking to
the spokesperson for this memory baker person. I mean we're
talking to the Vana White of the memory care facility.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Was there making sure that it happened and the commercial
that shot the way it's supposed to.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I know how that goes.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Thank you, We appreciate your time this morning, and thanks
for sharing with us.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
You're so welcome, giving you all.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
The warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the good good On
the Spencer Grave Show, Have you guys ever seen the
social media account by a guy named Jimmy Darts.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
That name sounds familiar to me.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
He's the guy that randomly walks up to people, gets
into a conversation, usually shares that he's down and out
on his luck, and asks to borrow a dollar or
a couple months.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And if the person is gracious enough and says absolutely,
let me hook you up with some cash, he then
gives them much more than they anticipated. Well, he did
that to as aprises them. He did that to a
Las Vegas kindergarten teacher and single mom named Angelie. He
gave her one hundred thousand dollars and then the next
day gave her even more. He found out that she
(10:34):
was battling stage four breast cancer and the treatments were
so costly. He wanted to make sure that she was okay.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
You know, it's like when you hear things like this,
you realize there's still good people in the world.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And I understand that not everybody can give.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
One hundred thousand dollars, right nobody, you know, not everybody
has that. But it just just a good reminder that
do what you can to help others.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Blair, what would you do in this situation that I
was in yesterday? I pull up to a ramp to
put the boat in to go fish for the afternoon,
and they always ask you to pay to park. It's
like five bucks, okay, So they have a little machine
that you can either put in cash, but who carries
that anymore? You can put in coins if you don't
carry cash, why would you have those? Or you can
(11:17):
put in a credit card. Everybody has a credit or
debit card, and that's what most people use. This machine
always gives me trouble. Every time I put my card in,
it says didn't read the chip. So I pull it
back out. I do like the old school Nintendo thing.
I like, wipe it off or blow on or whatever.
Maybe that'll change something. I put it back in and
it says it didn't read. It did this five times
(11:38):
yesterday and it never took the five bucks. So I
got to the point where I just went forget it.
So I load my boat into the water, I go fish,
I park, I come back. I don't have a ticket.
I didn't get towed, nothing happened. I brought this up
to a friend of mine and they were like, you
should have left and gone somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It's the right thing to do.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I mean, if you can't pay, and you know that
you're supposed to pay, I'm not saying most people would
do that.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But I can pay, and I have the ability to pay.
It's their technology that's not allowing me to pay them.
So should I be held to their technology failing for
me not being able to use what's right there?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I mean, I think their comeback would be, you've had
multiple options, not just the car. Just because you chose
not to bring cash. Again, I'm not saying that that
cash to be here now, but you could go get cash.
You could use your debit card and go to an am.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Okay, all right, so I understand that. I just don't
think that it's that big of a deal. My friend
was trying. I felt like my friend was trying to
make me feel bad about it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You shouldn't feel great about not paying, but you would
feel bad.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I would have left and gone somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I would have because I would have been terrified about
getting a ticket or get That's just that, Yeah, that's
just how my anxiety works. We know that I'm a
medicated now, but the.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Anxiety is still there. Okay, Like it's still there.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
So I mean I'm terrified when I even just like,
you know, like a parking meter.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I'm like, what if I run out of.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Tome and I like didn't do the math right, So,
like my anxiety wouldn't have allowed me to stay there.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Would it be Would it be better if I wrote
a note and said I tried your machine multiple times
and it didn't work. Because I'm sure I'm not the
only one that's run into this issue.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Oh, I'm sure you haven't.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I mean a note would have been nice, But I mean,
did you have a sheet of paper and a pen
to do that?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
If I didn't carry cash, then I probably don't have it.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Artably don't have a sheet of paper, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Again, I'm not saying that like like, oh my gosh,
you should feel bad, but my anxiety wouldn't have let
me stay there.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
What's funny is I don't think about the concept that
you're bringing up about, Well, if you don't have the
money on hand to be able to pay for it,
or you couldn't make the transaction happen, you should just
leave and go somewhere else. Because I wouldn't do that
at a store. If I walked into a store and
I was buying something and they had those self served
KEI I and it didn't register my card, I wouldn't
take the bag and leave. I would find somebody and
(14:05):
I would say, hey, there's an issue here, this is happening.
But at the boat ramp there's no one.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You're just a person with no anxiety walking around. I
would love to do so, like I would love to
live that life. I just don't have that luxury.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Ef I five graves zero. Share your opinion on this.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
I have a comment on your boat saying, yes, I
feel like you tried your best, and no, you may
not have been able to pay that day, but if
you go to that place frequently, I do feel like
you would be prepared to bring five dollars or the
next time you go, pay twice to make up for
that time.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah. No, that's sweet. I'm not doing that, but that's
sweet of you.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Yes, sir, That just keeps it honest, and that shows
that you did try your best, and that gives good
faith in the future, and that's what they're hoping that
you're doing.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I can't imagine though, that people are going to go
back to a place and be like, well, I wasn't
able to pay the last time I was here, so
go ahead and just charge me double. Do you think
that happens.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
I think sometimes it happens, But I also think that
it's up to you, so I think you need to
do what's best for you.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's like Smoky the Bear, right, It's like only you
can prevent forest fires, only you can double pay when
you go to another place.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
If you go to that place frequently. You've already known
you've had issues, so you kind of are you going
in hoping, Oh, I'm not gonna have to pay today?
Are you going to You're gonna have that. It's going
to have to work.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
How do you think I went into it?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
But you said you've been frequently.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
She's calling you out. Is what's happening right now?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
What's loophole in the system? And I exploited it, that
was all.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And now the next time you go, it's going to
be double the price because they're like all these people
keep skipping. We got to make up the money somewhere
because the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Well, thank you, We appreciate you. Christy.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
I have a great day.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Kelsey, Am I a jerk here?
Speaker 11 (15:56):
Or what you said?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
This has happened multiple times.
Speaker 11 (15:59):
You know the card isn't gonna work.
Speaker 12 (16:01):
You had a reason to get cash in expance.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I'm just saying you were telling the full story, and
we we read into it and you were wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Kelsey, Is it at all honorable of me that I
was just trying to be honest with all of you
and trying to tell you exactly what happens in my world.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
No, No, I know, car.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I know cards mess up all the time, so if
it was like the first time, I wouldn't have an
issue with it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Kelsey, I have heard my entire life that the truth
will set you free, and nobody is more free than me. Today.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
You may feel free against us, But when they raise
that parking price because they got to make up the.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Money you're not paying them, who really wins?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Thank you, Kelsey, have a great day you too. It's
How Country are You? On the Spencer Grave Show. Heather's
getting ready to play How Country are You? Where are
you from? Not all of a great job for everybody
in Mount Olive. Really proved that your country today you've
played before. Last time you played, I think you were
around like a seven to something like that, possibly on
(17:10):
a scale of one to country. How country are you today?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
I might be only feeling like a seven today, Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Not bad kind of standing.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I was feeling she's about to surprise and she's like,
I'm only a seven and then she's.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Going to be a ten.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
The way you know how we feel about Sambager's here,
do your absolute best job and we'll give you your
score at the end. You're heady for you three questions. Yes,
I am what career did Riley Green have before doing music?
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Cool?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I mean, what does Riley Green look like his job
would have.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Been before beautiful man? He looks like a Oh my bad,
sorry you have construction worker.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
He was a construction worker. Nicely done. Second question, I've
not gotten that right. Tell us about the most redneck
charity event you've ever been to.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
I really steer away from charity events.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Wow, terrible. Don't love children? Yeah, I know, forget them kids?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Well, no, I work for children's I do, but I
kind of don't.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
I mean, I will say.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Uh, have you ever heard of a really redneck charity event?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
No? I have not.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Oh gosh, mouse races you've never heard of those.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, never heard of a mouse ray.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
You've never heard of these either.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
The mouse rays? Got me? Why we get mice together?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Okay, this is genius. You know when you go to
an amusement park and you got the little gun that
you spray into the thing and then it makes the
horses move and it goes down the track. They do
the same thing with mice. They put them in these
tubes and then they open up the door and then
the mouse that gets to the end the first they win,
and then you bet for me.
Speaker 12 (18:54):
Dog.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It's so good, it's a no for me.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Cow Patty Bingo is another good one. Fish races. That's
why one of my favorites. You have a couple of
pieces of gutter and you fill them up with water
and you put a little goldfish in there and behind
it you shoot it with a little water gun to
get them to swim and if they cross. All you
guys have never done these?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
No, wow, And these are charity of you.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, I raise money.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
We need to.
Speaker 12 (19:19):
Question my final.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Question, what bizarre thing did you catch a fish on?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I've only ever caught a fish just with a straight worm.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
All right, Well, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
He's a fish with my mother in law and we
would dig our own worms up at the lake and
then we would go baite the hooks and we'd fish.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I like that. On a scale of Wonda Country today,
you're going to be a six point two. But that's okay.
Blair and her husband Steve, got into a conversation over
some money that Blair spent. You believe it's girl math
and that you're saving your family money. He believes it's
kind of a ridiculous purchase. But he's not one hundred
(19:57):
percent against it.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I think the this point he's like, I mean, I'm
in this. We've been together over a decade.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Do I expect what to expect? If you are somebody
who uses girl math or it happens in your relationship,
lay it on us a five five grave zero. Tell
us about the pumpkins, though, Blair, I am.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Just trying to save our little family some money. That's
all I'm trying to do. And so you know, if
you follow me on social media at all, you know
that I finally caved and started decorating for fall at
my house because it was time. It was pumpkins or
a Christmas tree. I put Steve in a corner and said,
which one do you want? He said neither. I said,
(20:36):
I'll go with the pumpkins. Every year, I buy like
real pumpkins, right, we either go to the pumpkin patch
or I go Publics always has like a really good
variety of like all the weird pumpkins too, not just
the orange circle pumpkins, but like the flat ones and
the stacking ones.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And all the things.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I spend money on these pumpkins and then come you know,
October thirty. First, I just throw them away. In my mind,
I'm literally just throwing money away. So I came up
with a solution. I purchased an abundance of fake pumpkins
that can be reused for several years.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
How much did these fake pumpkins cost you?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Okay, I needed you clarified that I bought twenty seven
different pumpkins of all different sizes, shapes, and colors for
four hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Okay, but think about it.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Think about it. Think about it.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
If I use these next year, it's like I really
only spent two hundred dollars this year and two hundred
dollars next year. And then if I use them in
twenty twenty seven, then I don't I'm not good at math,
but four hundred divided by three it goes down to
like a third. And then if I use them for
a fourth year, that I really only spent one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay, you can do this a lot easier. How much
is a regular pumpkin twenty five bucks on average?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Go to a pumpkin patch and get like a big one,
it's like twenty five dollars. Yeah, well, see, they probably
started like ten dollars for the small over.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
But that's one pumpkin, right, So one pumpkin at twenty
five dollars for your four hundred dollars fake pumpkins that
you just bought, that's sixteen years worth of one pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I'm not good at math, but we'll go with that.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
So if you, if you think about it, you're actually
saving money. I agree with you, because you got a
bunch of pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
For four hundred bars bunch of pumpkins, right.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So every year you break it down even more and more.
But if you can stomach the fact that you gave
up sixteen years worth of one pumpkin for an abundance
of pumpkins, now you'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
All I'm saying is are all I really heard in
that is you a great girl? Of math is good
and we should do more of it.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It is so funny how women try to validate money
and purchases, because if you just took it with regular addition, subtraction,
vision to multiple cases.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You're not regular women. We're cool women.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You would be fine if you just broke it down
by regular math. I mean, if you're buying one pumpkin,
it's twenty five dollars to make up four hundred bucks.
That's sixteen years. You did fine because you bought a
bunch of pumpkins.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
For four Again, all I'm hearing is Spencer agrees with me, Steve,
not you. Girl math is yet. Nope, Nope, we're nope,
We're past it. You agree with me. Girl math is
a superior in our household. I need one of those judges.
What's that thing to the judges?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
The gavel when you get the control is when you
have sixteen Christmas trees at your ear.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
We're not talking about Christmas trees right now.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
And also I save money there because I don't do
real trees. I do fake trees and they're reused every year.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Maybe there are some women if you had live trees
in your that would be a whole different problem.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
My allergies would be.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
They would look so pathetic. We need to talk to
some other women who have used girl math recently on
some purchases. Lay it on me, let's see if it
actually passed my test, and then you can pass it
off on your husband. Eight five to five grave zero.
What's going on?
Speaker 12 (24:07):
Tell them about girl mass.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
It's great?
Speaker 12 (24:10):
Seven daughters eight in the house if you count the wife.
Girl Math in my house is realizing cocaine would have
been a cheapers.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You see, you may not be.
Speaker 12 (24:22):
Wrong there, because that means six different new cars when
they all hit that age, A new iPhones when the
new ones come.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Out, of course.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
Yeah, and dear God, do not get everybody together and
take them out for dinner unless you're ready to drop
a two hundred dollars bill.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Y'all tell me again why I want to have children.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I want to know what are the ages of your daughters?
Speaker 8 (24:48):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (24:49):
They go for just a spand well to seven.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh, yes, you're definitely not going to Lululemon.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Do you have some of them off the books?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Do they ever as a daughter? Do you ever off
the books?
Speaker 6 (25:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Never, exactly, never, not at all.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I was about to say, Bobby, do you listening? I
never come off the books. I'm married, I'm in my thirties.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
But now a Roddie, Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 12 (25:12):
Yeah, man, y'all have a good day.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
A five five grave zero Gary, How does your wife
try to explain girl Math?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
She just says, I got it on sale? Well, okay,
but if I buy something on sale, say a tool
or something I catch ECHI double, you know what. But yeah,
if it's on sale for her, well you know it's okay.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
The logic is, if I buy something at Cracker Burrough
after we've eaten, I have saved money because I haven't
had to use gas to go to another store to
go shopping.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So I saved money by doing my shopping there.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
Oh my lord, I'm looking logic. Yeah, but I guess
if it works for you, you know, I know, I
know you've got your husband wrapped on your little fingers,
so somebody, don't. I think there's much.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
That you could do that would really get him upset.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Make a pot roast that would get wet.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
We're past the pot roast, we're past.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
The Oh my god. We don't have to go down
the story, but I'll give it to you real quick.
Blair is what they call not a good cook. So
she made a pot roast and it was got awful.
In fact, Steve said that he wouldn't have even fed
that to a dog if they had one.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
It's true.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
And he told you that, Blair, he told you that
to your face, got.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
On the radio station and told everybody.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Oh my god, he's got brass ones.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
He's got a big old in.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
All fairness, I didn't eat.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I didn't eat the pot roast and Spencer egged it
on
Blair. Let's find out what people do for a living
and how much money they make. There's a lot of
people that are going to try to find jobs, and
it's good to have kind of an understanding of what
the salary range might be. And this is also important
because I saw a study the other day that shared,
if you think you have the lowest paying job in America,
you're probably wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Really.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
You know, I'll be interested to see if people are
transparent about, you know, how much they make, because that's
definitely a topic that a lot of people will choose
not to discuss.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Sure, and we can keep you anonymous. We don't have
to share your name. Just tell us about your job
and the amount of money that that pays you in
a calendar year. Eight five five Graves zero. The lowest
paying job in America, I'll start at number three. Are
people that work at amusement parks. So they're the ones
that run the rides and the concession stands. They only
(00:50):
make about thirty two thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
You know, this is going back to, you know, maybe
the reason I'm not riding all the roller coasters.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
You know, they feel underpaid. They may not work as
hard I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I don't know cooks that work in fast food restaurants,
so they never work up front, they don't deal with people.
They don't even work the drive through. They're just in
the back. They're number two on the lowest paid jobs
in America, just under thirty two thousand dollars a year.
And the person who shampoos your hair and that's all
they do at the salon, only makes about thirty thousand
(01:25):
dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I mean again, the joy that they're bringing me when
they're rubbing my head.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Come on, now, do you remember your first job and
how much money you actually made.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I worked at a tanning salon, and I believe it
was like seven dollars and twenty five cents an hour.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
What did you guys give away the little Playboy bunny stickers?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Of course we had all the stickers. I always went
with the palm tree.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It's like, if you remember the Playboy Bunny stickers at
the tanning salon, you probably need to schedule a doctor's
appointment for some random reason.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Today that specifically, you should probably reach out to Dermotiz.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I mean, if we're just going to be honest.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Share your job, what the details are of it and
how much money you make in a year with us
A five five grave zero, So share with us what
you do for a living and how much that job pays.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I work in the education system, and it's not necessarily
what I do. However, I want to kind of shout
out the people who work in support positions, people like
para professionals that work with special needs kids, are luncher
and workers, et cetera. Some of them in smaller counties
and areas that.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Are more rural.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
They only get the base pay from the state, and
they're starting out at twenty two and twenty three thousand
dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So that's interesting twenty five years because we have a
woman who's hanging on the phone right now and she
is a teacher's assistant for special ad We want to
talk to her and find out exactly how much money
she makes. But I love the fact that you're in
support of them, because we do need to realize that
it's not just teachers. Like some people here, Oh, I
work for the school and they think they're a teacher
(03:05):
salary and they're not always that way.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
No, some of those top out after twenty and twenty
five years if the thirty five to forty thousand dollars, Mark, Well.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Thank you very much. Let's talk to her, let's get
her on the phone. But we appreciate your support of that.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Sounds great. Have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Thank you. So we just had a woman call A
five five grave zero and she wants to kind of
shout out your career. Do you want to share with
everybody what you do and how much you make?
Speaker 5 (03:29):
UDL assistant at a high school that's a special needs
class and it's eighteen thousand for the ten months.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I'll see it every chance I get our educators, our teachers,
an everybody in the education system is underpaid.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yes, is that a standard teacher salary or are you
doing that somehow in like a part time scenario.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
No, that is a salary for an assistant. The teachers
get paid more.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Gotcha.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
The assistance that have to be there with the teacher
or in that setting, because I mean, we have ones
that are medically fragile, ones that you still need help
going to the bathroom and stuff like that. So that's
just part of it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
What's the difference between a teacher and an assistant? Job
responsibility wise.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
The teacher has everything falls on the teacher. The assistant
is there to pick up and help where the teacher can't.
Because we have a class of about thirteen and all
ranges of abilities, and there's one teacher and four assistants
in my classroom.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Have you been doing this for your entire career or
is this something that you decided to do, like just
later in life, later in life.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I've been at it.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
For two years.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
I subbed for a year and just fell in love
with it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So what were you doing before you got into all this.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I wasn't a counting assistant, a personal assistant for a gentleman.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Are you making better money doing that?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And you just got burned out. Yeah, completely understand that
it's a thankless job sometimes, but we thank you for doing.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It it is, And don't sell yourself short.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I know that a lot falls on the teachers, but
they couldn't do what they do without you. So make
sure that you don't, you know, put yourself down in
that situation, because your job is just as important.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Yeah, it's definitely a calling, but it is. We'll say
it on the pay check front.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Thank you very much, have a great day today. We
assume you're driving into school.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Now, yes, about four minutes out.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Have an awesome Dan, Thanks for listening to us on
your way to work.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 7 (05:43):
I am a federal police officer.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
WHOA, So that's different than the regular police officer.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Huh A little bit. It's a different bracket. It really
is hard retirement everything. But I work fifteen days a
month and I'm made seventy seven thousand.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Excuse me, you said you work fifteen days a month
and you made seventy seven thousand.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
What's the website to apply? Not for me, maybe for.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
A friend.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
USA jobs dot com?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Let me ask you, is this one of those situations
like what are your hours during those fifteen days that
you work? Are you like a twenty four on type thing?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Two thirty?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Like a lot of.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Times it's it's the reason y'are able to quote unquote
have so many days off is because it's not like
your typical eight hour day.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
Yeah, now we worked twelve hours, is okay. So it's
from six a m. Six pm and that's work. Every
other weekend I get off, So like, for instance, when
I go to work Friday, Saturday, Sunday the next week,
I'll have Friday, Saturday Sunday off.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So bla you're talking about like the twenty four on
forty eight off like our firefighters do a lot of
yeah times.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, I didn't know what the being a federal position
if y'all had, you know, something similar like that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Now, what kind of cases is a federal police officer doing?
Like are you pulling people over on the highway or
are you like really involved in some big investigations.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
No, opposite of all of that. I work in a hospital.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Oh oh wow, okay, So what does a day to
day look like for you?
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Then?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Like what is what are those job duties look like?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Is like why I sleep from seven to ten and
then I guess some coffee?
Speaker 9 (07:27):
Oh, nap time is from It is a lot of
deterrent just keeping you know, certain people out, homeless people
in Birmingham, like the Wander End.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
We do take people to jail. Not regularly though, so
it's more of customer service and just being you know,
just more of a deterrence. I would say.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Interesting, So that would be a great career. Somebody's looking
to get into law enforcement and maybe you want to
look at doing that. We appreciate you man, Thank you
so much for calling.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Thank you you too.
Speaker 10 (08:03):
I work at a memory care unit.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
What job do you have or you an LPN are
in nurses aid?
Speaker 10 (08:09):
I am the marketing director, but we have caregivers and
take care of them and they don't get paid a lot,
and so kudos to them. They're taking care of the
loved ones for people.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Tell us about being a marketing director. What kind of
salary does that carry?
Speaker 10 (08:27):
Well, it's probably about forty a year.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Okay. What goes into your role as a marketing director
specifically for Alzheimer's and dementia and memory care.
Speaker 10 (08:37):
I sit there and whenever someone calls about Mom, because
it's a memory care unit for women and they have
Alzheimer dementia, they want to know about the facility. I
do them a tour. I take them around, show them
the facility, show them their private room for mom to
live in for their maybe the rest of their life.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
You know.
Speaker 10 (08:59):
Yeah, and we work with them on their memory.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So you're kind of like a salesperson. Yes, nice? And
then do you handle like all the advertising for the organization.
This might be good for somebody who's younger, thinking, hey,
I want to go into advertising, and I didn't know
that that's something that you could actually do.
Speaker 10 (09:18):
We actually have a commercial on TV.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Wait a minute, are you in the commercial?
Speaker 10 (09:22):
I'm partifiically not, but the other employees are and my boss.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I was going to be like Blair, we're talking to
the spokesperson for this memory baker person. I mean we're
talking to the Vana White of the memory care facility.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Was there making sure that it happened and the commercial
that shot the way it's supposed to.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I know how that goes.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Thank you, We appreciate your time this morning, and thanks
for sharing with us.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
You're so welcome, giving you all.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
The warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the good good On
the Spencer Grave Show, Have you guys ever seen the
social media account by a guy named Jimmy Darts.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
That name sounds familiar to me.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
He's the guy that randomly walks up to people, gets
into a conversation, usually shares that he's down and out
on his luck, and asks to borrow a dollar or
a couple months.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And if the person is gracious enough and says absolutely,
let me hook you up with some cash, he then
gives them much more than they anticipated. Well, he did
that to as aprises them. He did that to a
Las Vegas kindergarten teacher and single mom named Angelie. He
gave her one hundred thousand dollars and then the next
day gave her even more. He found out that she
(10:34):
was battling stage four breast cancer and the treatments were
so costly. He wanted to make sure that she was okay.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
You know, it's like when you hear things like this,
you realize there's still good people in the world.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And I understand that not everybody can give.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
One hundred thousand dollars, right nobody, you know, not everybody
has that. But it just just a good reminder that
do what you can to help others.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Blair, what would you do in this situation that I
was in yesterday? I pull up to a ramp to
put the boat in to go fish for the afternoon,
and they always ask you to pay to park. It's
like five bucks, okay, So they have a little machine
that you can either put in cash, but who carries
that anymore? You can put in coins if you don't
carry cash, why would you have those? Or you can
(11:17):
put in a credit card. Everybody has a credit or
debit card, and that's what most people use. This machine
always gives me trouble. Every time I put my card in,
it says didn't read the chip. So I pull it
back out. I do like the old school Nintendo thing.
I like, wipe it off or blow on or whatever.
Maybe that'll change something. I put it back in and
it says it didn't read. It did this five times
(11:38):
yesterday and it never took the five bucks. So I
got to the point where I just went forget it.
So I load my boat into the water, I go fish,
I park, I come back. I don't have a ticket.
I didn't get towed, nothing happened. I brought this up
to a friend of mine and they were like, you
should have left and gone somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It's the right thing to do.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I mean, if you can't pay, and you know that
you're supposed to pay, I'm not saying most people would
do that.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But I can pay, and I have the ability to pay.
It's their technology that's not allowing me to pay them.
So should I be held to their technology failing for
me not being able to use what's right there?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I mean, I think their comeback would be, you've had
multiple options, not just the car. Just because you chose
not to bring cash. Again, I'm not saying that that
cash to be here now, but you could go get cash.
You could use your debit card and go to an am.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Okay, all right, so I understand that. I just don't
think that it's that big of a deal. My friend
was trying. I felt like my friend was trying to
make me feel bad about it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You shouldn't feel great about not paying, but you would
feel bad.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I would have left and gone somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I would have because I would have been terrified about
getting a ticket or get That's just that, Yeah, that's
just how my anxiety works. We know that I'm a
medicated now, but the.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Anxiety is still there. Okay, Like it's still there.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
So I mean I'm terrified when I even just like,
you know, like a parking meter.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I'm like, what if I run out of.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Tome and I like didn't do the math right, So,
like my anxiety wouldn't have allowed me to stay there.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Would it be Would it be better if I wrote
a note and said I tried your machine multiple times
and it didn't work. Because I'm sure I'm not the
only one that's run into this issue.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Oh, I'm sure you haven't.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I mean a note would have been nice, But I mean,
did you have a sheet of paper and a pen
to do that?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
If I didn't carry cash, then I probably don't have it.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Artably don't have a sheet of paper, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Again, I'm not saying that like like, oh my gosh,
you should feel bad, but my anxiety wouldn't have let
me stay there.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
What's funny is I don't think about the concept that
you're bringing up about, Well, if you don't have the
money on hand to be able to pay for it,
or you couldn't make the transaction happen, you should just
leave and go somewhere else. Because I wouldn't do that
at a store. If I walked into a store and
I was buying something and they had those self served
KEI I and it didn't register my card, I wouldn't
take the bag and leave. I would find somebody and
(14:05):
I would say, hey, there's an issue here, this is happening.
But at the boat ramp there's no one.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You're just a person with no anxiety walking around. I
would love to do so, like I would love to
live that life. I just don't have that luxury.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Ef I five graves zero. Share your opinion on this.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
I have a comment on your boat saying, yes, I
feel like you tried your best, and no, you may
not have been able to pay that day, but if
you go to that place frequently, I do feel like
you would be prepared to bring five dollars or the
next time you go, pay twice to make up for
that time.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah. No, that's sweet. I'm not doing that, but that's
sweet of you.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Yes, sir, That just keeps it honest, and that shows
that you did try your best, and that gives good
faith in the future, and that's what they're hoping that
you're doing.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I can't imagine though, that people are going to go
back to a place and be like, well, I wasn't
able to pay the last time I was here, so
go ahead and just charge me double. Do you think
that happens.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
I think sometimes it happens, But I also think that
it's up to you, so I think you need to
do what's best for you.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's like Smoky the Bear, right, It's like only you
can prevent forest fires, only you can double pay when
you go to another place.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
If you go to that place frequently. You've already known
you've had issues, so you kind of are you going
in hoping, Oh, I'm not gonna have to pay today?
Are you going to You're gonna have that. It's going
to have to work.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
How do you think I went into it?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
But you said you've been frequently.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
She's calling you out. Is what's happening right now?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
What's loophole in the system? And I exploited it, that
was all.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And now the next time you go, it's going to
be double the price because they're like all these people
keep skipping. We got to make up the money somewhere
because the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Well, thank you, We appreciate you. Christy.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
I have a great day.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Kelsey, Am I a jerk here?
Speaker 11 (15:56):
Or what you said?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
This has happened multiple times.
Speaker 11 (15:59):
You know the card isn't gonna work.
Speaker 12 (16:01):
You had a reason to get cash in expance.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I'm just saying you were telling the full story, and
we we read into it and you were wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Kelsey, Is it at all honorable of me that I
was just trying to be honest with all of you
and trying to tell you exactly what happens in my world.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
No, No, I know, car.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I know cards mess up all the time, so if
it was like the first time, I wouldn't have an
issue with it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Kelsey, I have heard my entire life that the truth
will set you free, and nobody is more free than me. Today.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
You may feel free against us, But when they raise
that parking price because they got to make up the.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Money you're not paying them, who really wins?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Thank you, Kelsey, have a great day you too. It's
How Country are You? On the Spencer Grave Show. Heather's
getting ready to play How Country are You? Where are
you from? Not all of a great job for everybody
in Mount Olive. Really proved that your country today you've
played before. Last time you played, I think you were
around like a seven to something like that, possibly on
(17:10):
a scale of one to country. How country are you today?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
I might be only feeling like a seven today, Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Not bad kind of standing.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I was feeling she's about to surprise and she's like,
I'm only a seven and then she's.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Going to be a ten.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
The way you know how we feel about Sambager's here,
do your absolute best job and we'll give you your
score at the end. You're heady for you three questions. Yes,
I am what career did Riley Green have before doing music?
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Cool?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I mean, what does Riley Green look like his job
would have.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Been before beautiful man? He looks like a Oh my bad,
sorry you have construction worker.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
He was a construction worker. Nicely done. Second question, I've
not gotten that right. Tell us about the most redneck
charity event you've ever been to.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
I really steer away from charity events.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Wow, terrible. Don't love children? Yeah, I know, forget them kids?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Well, no, I work for children's I do, but I
kind of don't.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
I mean, I will say.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Uh, have you ever heard of a really redneck charity event?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
No? I have not.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Oh gosh, mouse races you've never heard of those.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, never heard of a mouse ray.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
You've never heard of these either.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
The mouse rays? Got me? Why we get mice together?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Okay, this is genius. You know when you go to
an amusement park and you got the little gun that
you spray into the thing and then it makes the
horses move and it goes down the track. They do
the same thing with mice. They put them in these
tubes and then they open up the door and then
the mouse that gets to the end the first they win,
and then you bet for me.
Speaker 12 (18:54):
Dog.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It's so good, it's a no for me.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Cow Patty Bingo is another good one. Fish races. That's
why one of my favorites. You have a couple of
pieces of gutter and you fill them up with water
and you put a little goldfish in there and behind
it you shoot it with a little water gun to
get them to swim and if they cross. All you
guys have never done these?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
No, wow, And these are charity of you.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, I raise money.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
We need to.
Speaker 12 (19:19):
Question my final.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Question, what bizarre thing did you catch a fish on?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I've only ever caught a fish just with a straight worm.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
All right, Well, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
He's a fish with my mother in law and we
would dig our own worms up at the lake and
then we would go baite the hooks and we'd fish.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I like that. On a scale of Wonda Country today,
you're going to be a six point two. But that's okay.
Blair and her husband Steve, got into a conversation over
some money that Blair spent. You believe it's girl math
and that you're saving your family money. He believes it's
kind of a ridiculous purchase. But he's not one hundred
(19:57):
percent against it.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I think the this point he's like, I mean, I'm
in this. We've been together over a decade.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Do I expect what to expect? If you are somebody
who uses girl math or it happens in your relationship,
lay it on us a five five grave zero. Tell
us about the pumpkins, though, Blair, I am.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Just trying to save our little family some money. That's
all I'm trying to do. And so you know, if
you follow me on social media at all, you know
that I finally caved and started decorating for fall at
my house because it was time. It was pumpkins or
a Christmas tree. I put Steve in a corner and said,
which one do you want? He said neither. I said,
(20:36):
I'll go with the pumpkins. Every year, I buy like
real pumpkins, right, we either go to the pumpkin patch
or I go Publics always has like a really good
variety of like all the weird pumpkins too, not just
the orange circle pumpkins, but like the flat ones and
the stacking ones.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And all the things.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I spend money on these pumpkins and then come you know,
October thirty. First, I just throw them away. In my mind,
I'm literally just throwing money away. So I came up
with a solution. I purchased an abundance of fake pumpkins
that can be reused for several years.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
How much did these fake pumpkins cost you?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Okay, I needed you clarified that I bought twenty seven
different pumpkins of all different sizes, shapes, and colors for
four hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Okay, but think about it.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Think about it. Think about it.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
If I use these next year, it's like I really
only spent two hundred dollars this year and two hundred
dollars next year. And then if I use them in
twenty twenty seven, then I don't I'm not good at math,
but four hundred divided by three it goes down to
like a third. And then if I use them for
a fourth year, that I really only spent one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay, you can do this a lot easier. How much
is a regular pumpkin twenty five bucks on average?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Go to a pumpkin patch and get like a big one,
it's like twenty five dollars. Yeah, well, see, they probably
started like ten dollars for the small over.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
But that's one pumpkin, right, So one pumpkin at twenty
five dollars for your four hundred dollars fake pumpkins that
you just bought, that's sixteen years worth of one pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I'm not good at math, but we'll go with that.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
So if you, if you think about it, you're actually
saving money. I agree with you, because you got a
bunch of pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
For four hundred bars bunch of pumpkins, right.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So every year you break it down even more and more.
But if you can stomach the fact that you gave
up sixteen years worth of one pumpkin for an abundance
of pumpkins, now you'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
All I'm saying is are all I really heard in
that is you a great girl? Of math is good
and we should do more of it.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It is so funny how women try to validate money
and purchases, because if you just took it with regular addition, subtraction,
vision to multiple cases.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You're not regular women. We're cool women.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You would be fine if you just broke it down
by regular math. I mean, if you're buying one pumpkin,
it's twenty five dollars to make up four hundred bucks.
That's sixteen years. You did fine because you bought a
bunch of pumpkins.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
For four Again, all I'm hearing is Spencer agrees with me, Steve,
not you. Girl math is yet. Nope, Nope, we're nope,
We're past it. You agree with me. Girl math is
a superior in our household. I need one of those judges.
What's that thing to the judges?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
The gavel when you get the control is when you
have sixteen Christmas trees at your ear.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
We're not talking about Christmas trees right now.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
And also I save money there because I don't do
real trees. I do fake trees and they're reused every year.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Maybe there are some women if you had live trees
in your that would be a whole different problem.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
My allergies would be.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
They would look so pathetic. We need to talk to
some other women who have used girl math recently on
some purchases. Lay it on me, let's see if it
actually passed my test, and then you can pass it
off on your husband. Eight five to five grave zero.
What's going on?
Speaker 12 (24:07):
Tell them about girl mass.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
It's great?
Speaker 12 (24:10):
Seven daughters eight in the house if you count the wife.
Girl Math in my house is realizing cocaine would have
been a cheapers.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You see, you may not be.
Speaker 12 (24:22):
Wrong there, because that means six different new cars when
they all hit that age, A new iPhones when the
new ones come.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Out, of course.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
Yeah, and dear God, do not get everybody together and
take them out for dinner unless you're ready to drop
a two hundred dollars bill.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Y'all tell me again why I want to have children.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I want to know what are the ages of your daughters?
Speaker 8 (24:48):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (24:49):
They go for just a spand well to seven.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh, yes, you're definitely not going to Lululemon.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Do you have some of them off the books?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Do they ever as a daughter? Do you ever off
the books?
Speaker 6 (25:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Never, exactly, never, not at all.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I was about to say, Bobby, do you listening? I
never come off the books. I'm married, I'm in my thirties.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
But now a Roddie, Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 12 (25:12):
Yeah, man, y'all have a good day.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
A five five grave zero Gary, How does your wife
try to explain girl Math?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
She just says, I got it on sale? Well, okay,
but if I buy something on sale, say a tool
or something I catch ECHI double, you know what. But yeah,
if it's on sale for her, well you know it's okay.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
The logic is, if I buy something at Cracker Burrough
after we've eaten, I have saved money because I haven't
had to use gas to go to another store to
go shopping.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So I saved money by doing my shopping there.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
Oh my lord, I'm looking logic. Yeah, but I guess
if it works for you, you know, I know, I
know you've got your husband wrapped on your little fingers,
so somebody, don't. I think there's much.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
That you could do that would really get him upset.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Make a pot roast that would get wet.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
We're past the pot roast, we're past.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
The Oh my god. We don't have to go down
the story, but I'll give it to you real quick.
Blair is what they call not a good cook. So
she made a pot roast and it was got awful.
In fact, Steve said that he wouldn't have even fed
that to a dog if they had one.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
It's true.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
And he told you that, Blair, he told you that
to your face, got.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
On the radio station and told everybody.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Oh my god, he's got brass ones.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
He's got a big old in.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
All fairness, I didn't eat.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I didn't eat the pot roast and Spencer egged it
