Speaker 1 (00:00):
Blair, we got another runaway child. Luckily this ended in
the best possible situation. But a young boy in Florida
ran away to Chick fil A and then the police
were called.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
See a little kid sitting at the table eating his
breakfast with one of the managers.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Hey, buddy.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We asked where he came from, and he kept saying
right over there.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
We gathered him up, I walked him to the back
of my patrol car.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I agree that there.
Speaker 5 (00:26):
No, I'm not going to put you in jail, and
we started checking the.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Ear All right, buddy, where's your house at We're wondering
where did this child come from?
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Is it right here?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
So then he explained that he had a white fence
right here.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Man, that's got to be so difficult for those police
officers too, asking him his address. He doesn't know his address,
doesn't know his phone number, he knows his mom, His
mom doesn't even know her real first name. And then
they find his house because of a little white fence.
Now we've talked about this before, but where did you
run away as a kid? Five graves zero, Blair? Did
(01:02):
you run away? Other than going to Panama City Beach
to get handed tattoos.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
No, And that was, you know, when I was in
high school. And I don't consider that a runaway. I
just went on a little vacation with a friend.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Right when you lied to your parents and didn't tell.
Speaker 7 (01:15):
Your dad where you were.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Oh, you know, hey knew we were going. He just didn't,
you know, he knew we were going somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I always go back to elementary school. When I left
my elementary school, I walked to the office and I
told them that my grandmother was there to pick me up.
They didn't ask to see my grandmother. They were just like, okay,
I have a great day. And I literally walked five
miles back to my neighborhood. And that's when I knocked
on the door of a friend of mine, thinking that
he was going to be home. I just left school early.
(01:43):
He's still at school. And I knocked on the door
and I asked if my friend was home to play,
and his mom was like, no, but why don't you
come inside? Called my dad. My Dad's like I'll be
right there.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I give me fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I wish I had a Chick fil A when I
was a kid. I woult to.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
Stop by there if I had been smart enough to
think that I could like escape to McDonald's to get
my chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I would have eight five five grave zero. If you
had a runaway kid, or you were a runaway at
some point too, let us know your story.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
Okay, so center, I physically did not run away from school. However,
my son at the time, who was three and a half,
ran away from home. I was at work and my
roommate was supposed to be watching him, and I guess
she had laid down to take a nap with her
son and my son and didn't realize my son got up,
left the house, got on his big wheel and drove
(02:34):
rode like almost two miles down a busy, busy road,
kind of like thirty one is here, all the way
down to my work. Look, I had people at my
work going, oh my god, look at that little boy
I buy himself on the big wheel. And so I
go to the window and I'm like, it took him
minute and I realized it was his and him and
(02:54):
talk about somebody that like, your art drops out of
your chest because you're like, oh my god, that's my kid.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Karen, thank you very much.
Speaker 8 (03:02):
You're welcome. You guys have a great day.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
You too. What's going on, dude?
Speaker 9 (03:05):
I was calling because I heard y'all was looking for
somebody to tell y'all where we ran away at.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, did you run away somewhere, Austin?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I did?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
What'd you do?
Speaker 9 (03:15):
I ran all the way down the road and went
in the wood because I figured nobody would find me there,
and I ended up getting lost and scared because it
got dark. I was probably about ten years old. Oh
my god, and I had to call the police and
it took him about maybe two hours to find me.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Wait. I have so many questions. One, how did you
call the police at ten years old in the woods?
Speaker 9 (03:39):
I had a it was a I cannot remember that phone.
It's when you turned sideway. He said, you can flip it.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Up sidekickboard under the spirit sidekick. Yeah, okay, So now
why did you go into the woods?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Like what was it that you were?
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Like?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You know what, well, you're a at ten years old.
I gotta go.
Speaker 9 (04:03):
My mom made me clean my room.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Ridiculous, completely ridiculous, I mean valid, Like did she feel
bad or what?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
After that?
Speaker 9 (04:13):
She told me that she was gonna whoop my tail.
And my daddy was waiting in the living room with
a film.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh, and.
Speaker 9 (04:22):
I started apologizing. I went on my knees and I
was crying, and they did fun. Just never do that again.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
You knew what to do to get out of that process.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I gotta give Austin some credit here. He was smart.
He was like, man, if I'm going to go to
the woods and I gotta go to the bathroom, I
got leaves, So I'm good. Like you thought. You thought
to yourself, I'm just going to be a man living
in the woods for the rest of my life.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
He thought I was going to be a man until
it got dark, and then he's like, actually, I'm just
a kid.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Somebody thought my mama, Please.
Speaker 9 (04:50):
I figured I'd be meeting some dinosaurs from land before time,
is it my soul?
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I get it. I get it.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And he was sad to find out that he did
meet dinosaurs. He just saw a coyote and that was
about it.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Way. So you're saying you didn't meet them, they were
not out there.
Speaker 9 (05:06):
They were not out there.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Autin, Thank you, buddy, have an awesome day, all right,
you two. Charlotte is such a beautiful name.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
So what's your story, Charlotte, Well, so we.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Lived in Florida, in the middle of nowhere, in a
little town called mayac A Cidi, and there were eleven
of us cousins that were always together. We lived right there.
We had twenty acres, and all of us kids were
always doing something stupid, and so I don't know. My
mom and I got into a fight one day and
we had a screened in porch on the back of
our house, and we had our washer and dryer out there,
(05:38):
and I just thought, well, you know what, I'm just
going to go hide. So I hid behind the washer
and dryer and fell asleep, and they searched for me
forever before I finally woke up. And we're calling all
of our neighbors who didn't live close by the way.
And I just fell asleep back there behind the washer
and dryer. And when I woke up, they really I
(05:59):
thought I was gonna get my book eat. Really, I
didn't get a serious job like I talked to But
you know, shall we never do anything like that again.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, thank you, hope you have a great day. Thank you, Kristin.
What can we do for you?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
When me and my sister were I believe five and six,
you know, like the big commercial dumpsters, the big green ones.
Mm hmm, yeah, we ran and hid in that for
probably two hours.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why and what was the reason?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
We mom's screaming and we just didn't let her know
that that's where we were.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Oh, so y'all were playing hide and seek and your
mom just didn't know the game was going on, right.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Or the mama knew, but she needed a break. And
she's like, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, when you got found hiding in a dumpster? What happened?
It was a good you get a belt? Did you
have to grab a switch? What's the story there?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I'm pretty sure every step we took we got pucked
with something. It may have been in her hand, but
it was something.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
It was something.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I get it. Well, thank you very much for the call.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yes, sir, are you still doing stories about running away? Girl?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You know it? Where'd you go?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So, my mother was a single parent and my aunt
came to stay.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
With us for the summer. My mother went to work.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
And me and my aunt got into it.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
So I left my mom a note and told her
I ran away to the neighbor's.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
House, just letting you know, okay, as you were worried
right away?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, would you and your aunt get into it about
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
I have no idea.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
We're only like ten years apart, so there's no pilling.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Oh okay, it's one of those scenatis.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
Yeah, I was eight and she was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Right, She's like, you stop answering that phone when these
boys call. Okay, I'm trying to line up something for
the weekend. You're screwing it up talking about Polly pocketing
all these things. That's funny. So your mom found you
at the neighbor's house. What did the neighbors say when
you showed up. You're like, hey, I'm just running away.
Can I just be here for a minute. Well, so
I didn't even go in their house. I was just
sitting their backyard playing with their dogs.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I mean again me.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
No, she didn't come find me.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
She waited till it got dark, and when it got
dark I came home.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah. That dog is like, this is the greatest day
of my life. Nobody ever plays me, and I got
this random kid showing up to play with me for hours.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Well, thank you, We hope you have a great Dan.
Thanks for listening to the show. Thank you Christy, thanks
for hanging on you have a sun speaker, bluetooth. I
do not good.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
He wasn't me. It's my granddaughter. She was five. Our
property is adjacent to one another, there's woods between it.
So she ran away because her mom gave her cereal
she didn't like. She had eaten the same cereal the
day before, but she didn't like it that day. So
she packed a bag of ten pair of shoes, another
bag of clothes and walked over to our house through
(08:54):
the woods. Well. She was bound in, determined she wasn't
going back home because her mom fettered the cereal. So
my husband said, okay, it's fine, she can stay here
for a while. So we started giving her chores and
all this kind of stuff. She ended up chilling to
not with us. The next The next day, she was determined.
Her dad came home. When he came home from work,
she wouldn't go out and talk to him. She was
determined she was staying with us. So wow, next day,
(09:16):
my husband says, okay, you have to have chores, and
so she he has her in. There was washing a
few dishes by hand, and all of a sudden he
looks at her and he says, you know, if you
keep running away, the government's going to come take you
and you're not going to get to see your family anymore.
So finally she just starts crying and she goes, I
(09:36):
want to go home. And so she went home and
she was perfectly fine and ate the cereal.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
The next day you're hearing Carl tell her all this,
and you're like, get god, Carl, you didn't have to
go zero to sixty that fast.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Well, the plus is that she didn't know what the
government was. She quite didn't understand that.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot, it's the
good good. On the Spencer Grave Show, guy named Stephen
Harris in Pittsburgh is drawing a lot of attention after
he paid one hundred and thirteen dollars for a guy
who didn't speak English a bus ticket. The man was
stuck at a Greyhound station. He was trying to get
(10:16):
to his hometown of Canada in Montreal, but he didn't
have enough money to get there. Steven said, don't worry, man,
I'll get you a ticket. You'll be good one hundred
and thirteen bucks. The reason why this is getting such focus,
other than just a good smartan being a good person,
is Steven is a police officer in Pittsburgh, and he
used his own money. He wasn't using a backed card
(10:38):
by we back the Blue or the police department. And
the reporter asked him, why would you do this, Why
would you help out a complice stranger? And he said, look,
I'm a police officer. We're supposed to be good men.
So I wanted to be a good guy helping out
another good guy. And that was it.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
You know, I know there's stories out there like this,
but I love to hear him and I never get
tired of him because it just shines spotlight on our
placemen and women who always always go above and beyond.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
That's the good good. Have you ever had somebody pay
it forward for you?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
It happened to me for the first time just a
couple days ago. So I was driving around early in
the morning and I was getting angry. So I was like,
you know, I'm gonna stop buying a drive through. I'm
gonna swing in, I'm gonna grab some food. Well, the
drive through that I went to, it's got the double
lanes and there's nobody there, so you know, it's not
Chick fil A. It's just another drive through and you
(11:32):
got to pull up, and the person working the window
has to work both lanes, so they took the order
on one lane, but then it seemed like they didn't
take the order on the other lane, and we kind
of got left out in the cold. So I sat
there for a couple of minutes, not getting hasty or
anything like that, and the woman who was sitting in
the car in front of me, we locked eyes. I
(11:53):
looked into her driver's side mirror and she was looking
right at me. So I just rolled down my window
and I said, hey, did they grab your order or
did they forget? And she goes, I don't know, babe,
they got their order, but they haven't come to me yet.
And I was like, okay, no problem and just put
my head down. So she goes through an order and
her order was difficult. I mean I could hear this
(12:14):
through my car. She was like ordering the left side
of the menu and then a nice coffee and she
wanted all this, but she didn't want this on there,
and make sure you do this, and oh can we
change this to that. It was a complicated order. But
I sat there no worries, like you're hungry, you got
your preferences. It's no big deal. I go up, I
do my order. It's really easy. And then I pull
(12:35):
up to the window. I get up to the window,
I hand them my card and they go, oh, no,
it's okay. The woman in front of you just paid
for you, and I was like, what, No, that's so nice.
So then I thought I should pay for the person
behind me. And the woman took my card and she
looked at me and she goes, are you sure?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Oh so now please? At least she gave you a
heads up.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So I got to catch twenty two. I can either
pull that back and just go yeah, I'm not sure,
or I can commit to it. I pulled back and
she goes, it's probably good that you did. And I
said why and she goes, they're ordering for an office
and it's one hundred and eighty seven dollars.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Okay, But let me ask you this. Let me ask
you this, though.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
If in that situation and I appreciate them saying like, hey,
by the way, this is for a whole office, like
this isn't like a one on one kind of thing,
would you have then said we'll kind of get the
car behind them, or does that complicate it too much.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
No, No, I see where you're trying to go, like,
get me somebody who's kind of comparable to my six
dollars meal compared to one hundred and eighty seven. I
didn't even think about it, and they just handed me
the card back and I said thank you so much,
and she was like, I would never let you pay
one hundred and eighty seven dollars for six dollars meal.
I was like, I appreciate that. And then I pulled
up to the car who actually paid for mine, and
(13:57):
I said thank you so much, and she goes, you
was so sweet. You just never know when you go
and be blessed. And I was like, thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I love it so I just never I've.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Never had that situation. I felt the pressure where I
was like, no, I gotta I gotta follow this three.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
He was really really trying so hard to start something
and you wanted it just just just so quick, just
so quick.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
It's how country are you? On the Spencer Grave Show, Joseph,
It's Spencer and Blair. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
What going on?
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Guy?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
How are you?
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Man?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'm all right.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm getting ready to go into a training for work
at TVTC indicators. Let's play this game now, you ready? Yeah, sure, Joseph.
On a scale of one to country, how country are
you like?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I moved down here from Pittsburgh, so but I've been
coming here my whole life.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
I'd like to say about a seven.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Okay, all right, all right, you still have some tendencies
to be a little Yankee though. Yeah, I tried it.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
I try not to show them.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
I get it.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
You're like, I want to be one of these people.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
All right, here we go, buddy. Three questions. We'll give
you a score at the end. The company area. What
do they make boots? Nice? All right, Joseph, tell us
the Southern sign your mama has on her walls. Happy
fall y'all, Happy fall y'all. If you slap y'all on
any sign, it immediately becomes country.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Yes, and all of us Southern women, we got one
of those.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Live, laugh, love y'all. All right, Joseph. Final question, when
did you pick up trash and turn it into a treasure?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Man?
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I do that all the time.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I'll be riding to the neighborhood if I see, if
I see a coffee table or something I can.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
Use, I'm gonna hut it.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
One man's trash, another man's trader. Nobody said that better
than my grandmother, my grandmother. Remember when cans had stamps
on them and you could collect them for ten cents.
My grandmother collected so many cans as she turned them
in and bought herself a fridge at ten. I'm telling you,
nicely done today. You're getting yourself a seven point three
(16:00):
nice thank you, and we'll get it.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Better than I expected.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well good, and we'll get you in to see Hardy
next Friday at the coc Cola Amphitheater in Birmingham.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Sounds like a planing. I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Have a good day tonight. Luke Bryan is coming to
the Oriyon Amphitheater. It's gonna be an awesome time. I
had an opportunity to sit down with him and we
had Luke Brian blind rank his own songs. Did you
watch that video, Blair?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
No, it's phenomenal. Here's one thing he said about the
song he put in his number one spot.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Just doesn't getting better in my life than to get
to play that every night.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And watch Is that true?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Man? I mean, when you think about the joy that
that song has brought so many audiences, and the joy
and the smiles that I've gotten to watch people just
let loose and cut loose and have fun and not
give a damn who's watching them. I mean, you know,
it's it's a it's just been really really fun to
(16:57):
watch that.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
So you can go and you can check out the
video now on TikTok just follow mister Spencer Graves. It's
also up on all our other social platforms including the
radio stations, Facebook, and Instagram.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
But what was.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Shocking about it was the one song that if he
sings it in concert, he knows he's having a good
vocal night. If he's not having a good vocal night,
you won't see it in the setlist. I was a
little shocked by that answer.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Okay, which song?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Oh that's great, but you got to check out the video.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Okay, yeah, but you gotta tell me.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
The NFL season is back. I love football season. I
think you guys are the same exact way. In fact,
I read a study saying that football is the most
popular sport in America, surpassing baseball, which has always been
known as America's pastime.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yeah, as it should be.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
The football season kicks off with the Cowboys taking on
the Eagles. This is going to be a premiere matchup
for the NFC East, which will be awesome. But it's
really cool because there's a lot of players from Alabama
who are on the Eagles. A lot of people call
him the Philadelphia Crimson Tide, which is incredible.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I know if they want that title anymore after last weekend.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So my dad is getting back into sports and getting
into football. Before he would just go to my football
games when I was in high school. Just watch the
marching band because my dad's a big musician. Marching bands
have always been a big part of my life because
of that with my father. So what I've done is
I've grabbed a couple popular songs played by marching bands,
and I'm going to have you versus Michelle good Morning, Michelle,
(18:25):
good morning? Who's joining us on a FI five Grave zero?
And I'm going to play clips of these songs and
I want the first person to say their name, so Blair, Michelle, whatever,
and then tell me the song or the artist. I'll
make it easy for everybody. Are we ready to play?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
As ready as I'm going to be?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Michelle you're ready, I'm here, all right, here we go.
Here's number one. Here's a hint. We just lost him recently.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I got nothing, Got.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Nothing, Blair, Michelle. I wanted to a stab at what
that is?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You know, I was in Color Guard even and I
don't even know what that is. I don't remember our
band ever playing that in Seattle, Washington.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well you probably didn't have it in Seattle, Washington, but
that was Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath and Crazy Tram. Okay, yeah, okay,
not bad. Let's get over to a song number two
this morning. Remember yell out your name, Michelle or Blair.
If you know the title?
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Oh, hold on, hold on?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Oh anybody want to guess on that one?
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Oh my gosh, oh, hold on, hold on, hold on
Toxic Britney Spears.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Correct, that is Toxic by Britney Spears. All right, now
bad number three. This is the final one, Michelle. You
can tie it up with an answer on this one.
(20:38):
Oh Michelle, come on, jump in beat her.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
People are screaming this in their car on.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
You interrupted my thought process. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Three.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
No, no, you interrupted me because you were talking while
you were playing it it.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Hold on, hold on.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
No, don't say anything yet.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Justin Timberlake Uptown funk Bruno mars Dan.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I knew it.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Hey, Michelle, thanks for playing along with us. We're going
to get you out to Trains Siberian Orchestra this holiday season.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That sounds great.
Blair, we got another runaway child. Luckily this ended in
the best possible situation. But a young boy in Florida
ran away to Chick fil A and then the police
were called.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
See a little kid sitting at the table eating his
breakfast with one of the managers.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Hey, buddy.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We asked where he came from, and he kept saying
right over there.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
We gathered him up, I walked him to the back
of my patrol car.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I agree that there.
Speaker 5 (00:26):
No, I'm not going to put you in jail, and
we started checking the.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Ear All right, buddy, where's your house at We're wondering
where did this child come from?
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Is it right here?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
So then he explained that he had a white fence
right here.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Man, that's got to be so difficult for those police
officers too, asking him his address. He doesn't know his address,
doesn't know his phone number, he knows his mom, His
mom doesn't even know her real first name. And then
they find his house because of a little white fence.
Now we've talked about this before, but where did you
run away as a kid? Five graves zero, Blair? Did
(01:02):
you run away? Other than going to Panama City Beach
to get handed tattoos.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
No, And that was, you know, when I was in
high school. And I don't consider that a runaway. I
just went on a little vacation with a friend.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Right when you lied to your parents and didn't tell.
Speaker 7 (01:15):
Your dad where you were.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Oh, you know, hey knew we were going. He just didn't,
you know, he knew we were going somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I always go back to elementary school. When I left
my elementary school, I walked to the office and I
told them that my grandmother was there to pick me up.
They didn't ask to see my grandmother. They were just like, okay,
I have a great day. And I literally walked five
miles back to my neighborhood. And that's when I knocked
on the door of a friend of mine, thinking that
he was going to be home. I just left school early.
(01:43):
He's still at school. And I knocked on the door
and I asked if my friend was home to play,
and his mom was like, no, but why don't you
come inside? Called my dad. My Dad's like I'll be
right there.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I give me fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I wish I had a Chick fil A when I
was a kid. I woult to.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
Stop by there if I had been smart enough to
think that I could like escape to McDonald's to get
my chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I would have eight five five grave zero. If you
had a runaway kid, or you were a runaway at
some point too, let us know your story.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
Okay, so center, I physically did not run away from school. However,
my son at the time, who was three and a half,
ran away from home. I was at work and my
roommate was supposed to be watching him, and I guess
she had laid down to take a nap with her
son and my son and didn't realize my son got up,
left the house, got on his big wheel and drove
(02:34):
rode like almost two miles down a busy, busy road,
kind of like thirty one is here, all the way
down to my work. Look, I had people at my
work going, oh my god, look at that little boy
I buy himself on the big wheel. And so I
go to the window and I'm like, it took him
minute and I realized it was his and him and
(02:54):
talk about somebody that like, your art drops out of
your chest because you're like, oh my god, that's my kid.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Karen, thank you very much.
Speaker 8 (03:02):
You're welcome. You guys have a great day.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
You too. What's going on, dude?
Speaker 9 (03:05):
I was calling because I heard y'all was looking for
somebody to tell y'all where we ran away at.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, did you run away somewhere, Austin?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I did?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
What'd you do?
Speaker 9 (03:15):
I ran all the way down the road and went
in the wood because I figured nobody would find me there,
and I ended up getting lost and scared because it
got dark. I was probably about ten years old. Oh
my god, and I had to call the police and
it took him about maybe two hours to find me.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Wait. I have so many questions. One, how did you
call the police at ten years old in the woods?
Speaker 9 (03:39):
I had a it was a I cannot remember that phone.
It's when you turned sideway. He said, you can flip it.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Up sidekickboard under the spirit sidekick. Yeah, okay, So now
why did you go into the woods?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Like what was it that you were?
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Like?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You know what, well, you're a at ten years old.
I gotta go.
Speaker 9 (04:03):
My mom made me clean my room.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Ridiculous, completely ridiculous, I mean valid, Like did she feel
bad or what?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
After that?
Speaker 9 (04:13):
She told me that she was gonna whoop my tail.
And my daddy was waiting in the living room with
a film.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh, and.
Speaker 9 (04:22):
I started apologizing. I went on my knees and I
was crying, and they did fun. Just never do that again.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
You knew what to do to get out of that process.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I gotta give Austin some credit here. He was smart.
He was like, man, if I'm going to go to
the woods and I gotta go to the bathroom, I
got leaves, So I'm good. Like you thought. You thought
to yourself, I'm just going to be a man living
in the woods for the rest of my life.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
He thought I was going to be a man until
it got dark, and then he's like, actually, I'm just
a kid.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Somebody thought my mama, Please.
Speaker 9 (04:50):
I figured I'd be meeting some dinosaurs from land before time,
is it my soul?
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I get it. I get it.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And he was sad to find out that he did
meet dinosaurs. He just saw a coyote and that was
about it.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Way. So you're saying you didn't meet them, they were
not out there.
Speaker 9 (05:06):
They were not out there.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Autin, Thank you, buddy, have an awesome day, all right,
you two. Charlotte is such a beautiful name.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
So what's your story, Charlotte, Well, so we.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Lived in Florida, in the middle of nowhere, in a
little town called mayac A Cidi, and there were eleven
of us cousins that were always together. We lived right there.
We had twenty acres, and all of us kids were
always doing something stupid, and so I don't know. My
mom and I got into a fight one day and
we had a screened in porch on the back of
our house, and we had our washer and dryer out there,
(05:38):
and I just thought, well, you know what, I'm just
going to go hide. So I hid behind the washer
and dryer and fell asleep, and they searched for me
forever before I finally woke up. And we're calling all
of our neighbors who didn't live close by the way.
And I just fell asleep back there behind the washer
and dryer. And when I woke up, they really I
(05:59):
thought I was gonna get my book eat. Really, I
didn't get a serious job like I talked to But
you know, shall we never do anything like that again.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, thank you, hope you have a great day. Thank you, Kristin.
What can we do for you?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
When me and my sister were I believe five and six,
you know, like the big commercial dumpsters, the big green ones.
Mm hmm, yeah, we ran and hid in that for
probably two hours.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why and what was the reason?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
We mom's screaming and we just didn't let her know
that that's where we were.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Oh, so y'all were playing hide and seek and your
mom just didn't know the game was going on, right.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Or the mama knew, but she needed a break. And
she's like, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, when you got found hiding in a dumpster? What happened?
It was a good you get a belt? Did you
have to grab a switch? What's the story there?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I'm pretty sure every step we took we got pucked
with something. It may have been in her hand, but
it was something.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
It was something.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I get it. Well, thank you very much for the call.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yes, sir, are you still doing stories about running away? Girl?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You know it? Where'd you go?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So, my mother was a single parent and my aunt
came to stay.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
With us for the summer. My mother went to work.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
And me and my aunt got into it.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
So I left my mom a note and told her
I ran away to the neighbor's.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
House, just letting you know, okay, as you were worried
right away?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, would you and your aunt get into it about
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
I have no idea.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
We're only like ten years apart, so there's no pilling.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Oh okay, it's one of those scenatis.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
Yeah, I was eight and she was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Right, She's like, you stop answering that phone when these
boys call. Okay, I'm trying to line up something for
the weekend. You're screwing it up talking about Polly pocketing
all these things. That's funny. So your mom found you
at the neighbor's house. What did the neighbors say when
you showed up. You're like, hey, I'm just running away.
Can I just be here for a minute. Well, so
I didn't even go in their house. I was just
sitting their backyard playing with their dogs.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I mean again me.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
No, she didn't come find me.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
She waited till it got dark, and when it got
dark I came home.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah. That dog is like, this is the greatest day
of my life. Nobody ever plays me, and I got
this random kid showing up to play with me for hours.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Well, thank you, We hope you have a great Dan.
Thanks for listening to the show. Thank you Christy, thanks
for hanging on you have a sun speaker, bluetooth. I
do not good.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
He wasn't me. It's my granddaughter. She was five. Our
property is adjacent to one another, there's woods between it.
So she ran away because her mom gave her cereal
she didn't like. She had eaten the same cereal the
day before, but she didn't like it that day. So
she packed a bag of ten pair of shoes, another
bag of clothes and walked over to our house through
(08:54):
the woods. Well. She was bound in, determined she wasn't
going back home because her mom fettered the cereal. So
my husband said, okay, it's fine, she can stay here
for a while. So we started giving her chores and
all this kind of stuff. She ended up chilling to
not with us. The next The next day, she was determined.
Her dad came home. When he came home from work,
she wouldn't go out and talk to him. She was
determined she was staying with us. So wow, next day,
(09:16):
my husband says, okay, you have to have chores, and
so she he has her in. There was washing a
few dishes by hand, and all of a sudden he
looks at her and he says, you know, if you
keep running away, the government's going to come take you
and you're not going to get to see your family anymore.
So finally she just starts crying and she goes, I
(09:36):
want to go home. And so she went home and
she was perfectly fine and ate the cereal.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
The next day you're hearing Carl tell her all this,
and you're like, get god, Carl, you didn't have to
go zero to sixty that fast.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Well, the plus is that she didn't know what the
government was. She quite didn't understand that.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot, it's the
good good. On the Spencer Grave Show, guy named Stephen
Harris in Pittsburgh is drawing a lot of attention after
he paid one hundred and thirteen dollars for a guy
who didn't speak English a bus ticket. The man was
stuck at a Greyhound station. He was trying to get
(10:16):
to his hometown of Canada in Montreal, but he didn't
have enough money to get there. Steven said, don't worry, man,
I'll get you a ticket. You'll be good one hundred
and thirteen bucks. The reason why this is getting such focus,
other than just a good smartan being a good person,
is Steven is a police officer in Pittsburgh, and he
used his own money. He wasn't using a backed card
(10:38):
by we back the Blue or the police department. And
the reporter asked him, why would you do this, Why
would you help out a complice stranger? And he said, look,
I'm a police officer. We're supposed to be good men.
So I wanted to be a good guy helping out
another good guy. And that was it.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
You know, I know there's stories out there like this,
but I love to hear him and I never get
tired of him because it just shines spotlight on our
placemen and women who always always go above and beyond.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
That's the good good. Have you ever had somebody pay
it forward for you?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
It happened to me for the first time just a
couple days ago. So I was driving around early in
the morning and I was getting angry. So I was like,
you know, I'm gonna stop buying a drive through. I'm
gonna swing in, I'm gonna grab some food. Well, the
drive through that I went to, it's got the double
lanes and there's nobody there, so you know, it's not
Chick fil A. It's just another drive through and you
(11:32):
got to pull up, and the person working the window
has to work both lanes, so they took the order
on one lane, but then it seemed like they didn't
take the order on the other lane, and we kind
of got left out in the cold. So I sat
there for a couple of minutes, not getting hasty or
anything like that, and the woman who was sitting in
the car in front of me, we locked eyes. I
(11:53):
looked into her driver's side mirror and she was looking
right at me. So I just rolled down my window
and I said, hey, did they grab your order or
did they forget? And she goes, I don't know, babe,
they got their order, but they haven't come to me yet.
And I was like, okay, no problem and just put
my head down. So she goes through an order and
her order was difficult. I mean I could hear this
(12:14):
through my car. She was like ordering the left side
of the menu and then a nice coffee and she
wanted all this, but she didn't want this on there,
and make sure you do this, and oh can we
change this to that. It was a complicated order. But
I sat there no worries, like you're hungry, you got
your preferences. It's no big deal. I go up, I
do my order. It's really easy. And then I pull
(12:35):
up to the window. I get up to the window,
I hand them my card and they go, oh, no,
it's okay. The woman in front of you just paid
for you, and I was like, what, No, that's so nice.
So then I thought I should pay for the person
behind me. And the woman took my card and she
looked at me and she goes, are you sure?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Oh so now please? At least she gave you a
heads up.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So I got to catch twenty two. I can either
pull that back and just go yeah, I'm not sure,
or I can commit to it. I pulled back and
she goes, it's probably good that you did. And I
said why and she goes, they're ordering for an office
and it's one hundred and eighty seven dollars.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Okay, But let me ask you this. Let me ask
you this, though.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
If in that situation and I appreciate them saying like, hey,
by the way, this is for a whole office, like
this isn't like a one on one kind of thing,
would you have then said we'll kind of get the
car behind them, or does that complicate it too much.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
No, No, I see where you're trying to go, like,
get me somebody who's kind of comparable to my six
dollars meal compared to one hundred and eighty seven. I
didn't even think about it, and they just handed me
the card back and I said thank you so much,
and she was like, I would never let you pay
one hundred and eighty seven dollars for six dollars meal.
I was like, I appreciate that. And then I pulled
up to the car who actually paid for mine, and
(13:57):
I said thank you so much, and she goes, you
was so sweet. You just never know when you go
and be blessed. And I was like, thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I love it so I just never I've.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Never had that situation. I felt the pressure where I
was like, no, I gotta I gotta follow this three.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
He was really really trying so hard to start something
and you wanted it just just just so quick, just
so quick.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
It's how country are you? On the Spencer Grave Show, Joseph,
It's Spencer and Blair. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
What going on?
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Guy?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
How are you?
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Man?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'm all right.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm getting ready to go into a training for work
at TVTC indicators. Let's play this game now, you ready? Yeah, sure, Joseph.
On a scale of one to country, how country are
you like?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I moved down here from Pittsburgh, so but I've been
coming here my whole life.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
I'd like to say about a seven.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Okay, all right, all right, you still have some tendencies
to be a little Yankee though. Yeah, I tried it.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
I try not to show them.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
I get it.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
You're like, I want to be one of these people.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
All right, here we go, buddy. Three questions. We'll give
you a score at the end. The company area. What
do they make boots? Nice? All right, Joseph, tell us
the Southern sign your mama has on her walls. Happy
fall y'all, Happy fall y'all. If you slap y'all on
any sign, it immediately becomes country.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Yes, and all of us Southern women, we got one
of those.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Live, laugh, love y'all. All right, Joseph. Final question, when
did you pick up trash and turn it into a treasure?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Man?
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I do that all the time.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I'll be riding to the neighborhood if I see, if
I see a coffee table or something I can.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
Use, I'm gonna hut it.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
One man's trash, another man's trader. Nobody said that better
than my grandmother, my grandmother. Remember when cans had stamps
on them and you could collect them for ten cents.
My grandmother collected so many cans as she turned them
in and bought herself a fridge at ten. I'm telling you,
nicely done today. You're getting yourself a seven point three
(16:00):
nice thank you, and we'll get it.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Better than I expected.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well good, and we'll get you in to see Hardy
next Friday at the coc Cola Amphitheater in Birmingham.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Sounds like a planing. I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Have a good day tonight. Luke Bryan is coming to
the Oriyon Amphitheater. It's gonna be an awesome time. I
had an opportunity to sit down with him and we
had Luke Brian blind rank his own songs. Did you
watch that video, Blair?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
No, it's phenomenal. Here's one thing he said about the
song he put in his number one spot.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Just doesn't getting better in my life than to get
to play that every night.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And watch Is that true?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Man? I mean, when you think about the joy that
that song has brought so many audiences, and the joy
and the smiles that I've gotten to watch people just
let loose and cut loose and have fun and not
give a damn who's watching them. I mean, you know,
it's it's a it's just been really really fun to
(16:57):
watch that.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
So you can go and you can check out the
video now on TikTok just follow mister Spencer Graves. It's
also up on all our other social platforms including the
radio stations, Facebook, and Instagram.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
But what was.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Shocking about it was the one song that if he
sings it in concert, he knows he's having a good
vocal night. If he's not having a good vocal night,
you won't see it in the setlist. I was a
little shocked by that answer.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Okay, which song?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Oh that's great, but you got to check out the video.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Okay, yeah, but you gotta tell me.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
The NFL season is back. I love football season. I
think you guys are the same exact way. In fact,
I read a study saying that football is the most
popular sport in America, surpassing baseball, which has always been
known as America's pastime.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yeah, as it should be.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
The football season kicks off with the Cowboys taking on
the Eagles. This is going to be a premiere matchup
for the NFC East, which will be awesome. But it's
really cool because there's a lot of players from Alabama
who are on the Eagles. A lot of people call
him the Philadelphia Crimson Tide, which is incredible.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I know if they want that title anymore after last weekend.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So my dad is getting back into sports and getting
into football. Before he would just go to my football
games when I was in high school. Just watch the
marching band because my dad's a big musician. Marching bands
have always been a big part of my life because
of that with my father. So what I've done is
I've grabbed a couple popular songs played by marching bands,
and I'm going to have you versus Michelle good Morning, Michelle,
(18:25):
good morning? Who's joining us on a FI five Grave zero?
And I'm going to play clips of these songs and
I want the first person to say their name, so Blair, Michelle, whatever,
and then tell me the song or the artist. I'll
make it easy for everybody. Are we ready to play?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
As ready as I'm going to be?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Michelle you're ready, I'm here, all right, here we go.
Here's number one. Here's a hint. We just lost him recently.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I got nothing, Got.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Nothing, Blair, Michelle. I wanted to a stab at what
that is?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You know, I was in Color Guard even and I
don't even know what that is. I don't remember our
band ever playing that in Seattle, Washington.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well you probably didn't have it in Seattle, Washington, but
that was Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath and Crazy Tram. Okay, yeah, okay,
not bad. Let's get over to a song number two
this morning. Remember yell out your name, Michelle or Blair.
If you know the title?
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Oh, hold on, hold on?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Oh anybody want to guess on that one?
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Oh my gosh, oh, hold on, hold on, hold on
Toxic Britney Spears.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Correct, that is Toxic by Britney Spears. All right, now
bad number three. This is the final one, Michelle. You
