Speaker 1 (00:00):
Claire. Yesterday we were talking about the CMA nominations, but
we didn't really get into some of the specific categories.
New Artists of the Year Zach top Ella Langley, Steven
Wilson Junior. He's going to be a co Cola Amphitheater
opening for Hardy on Friday. He's awesome, Tucker Wetmore, and Shaboozy.
Much different names than you're normally used to hearing.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
You know, that's a stacked category, a really stacked category.
If you had to make a guest right here, right now,
who's going home with it?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I would have to say the two front runners are
Ella Langley and Zach.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Topp okay, but only one person gets to take the trophy.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Holme, who's going You would have to go Ella Langley,
wouldn't you? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Mine is Ella Langley.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I always hate in this category because I do think
there's a lot of pressure put on this category of.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Like, oh, who's getting to that next level?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
You know?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
And I hate that Ella and Zach are having to
go up against each other. But you know what's also interesting,
if you've been following the Riley Green, Ella Langley make
Maroni of it all most of the time, the former
New Artist of the Year hands off the trophy. Last
year's winner was Megan Moroni. I'm just saying, just throwing
(01:13):
that out there.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
November nineteenth, ABC the CMA Awards, giving you all the
warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the good good on the
Spencer Grave Show. Some people would say this story is
in my wheelhouse because I'm an adrenaline junkie. I've gone skydiving,
scuba diving. I've even gone diving with Great Whites, but
(01:34):
hiking not really something that I want to do. A
group of hikers in Colorado ended up getting a nice reward.
They reached the top of a trail near Aspen, several
hundred thousand or several thousand feet up. Well, some other
guy hiked up with a sixty pound backpack and it
was full of ice cream sandwiches, so he started giving
(01:54):
him out to people.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Okay, I mean, I think this is great.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You're not gonna find me on the trail to be
able to give me said ice cream sandwiches. But for
those of you that might enjoy something like this, I
hope this comes into your near future.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I'll tell you what if every hike ends with ice
cream sandwiches. I might just have a new hobby.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
No you're not, No, you're not.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Something's happening in my house right now that I know,
Blair would lose her absolute mind over. In fact, it
would consume your daily thoughts until it was fixed. But
me really is not that big of a deal until
I realized that I couldn't use the machine for one
simple error. But I was meal prepping last night and
my oven says test. The power had gone out not
(02:38):
too long ago during one of those storms, and now
it flashes test time, no test time, and the time's wrong.
Because I have an issue with this oven. It wants
to connect to my WiFi. Why do appliances have to
(02:59):
connect to the WiFi? Like, why does my fridge need
to be on my WiFi?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Well, you know this wouldn't happen if you would just
uper eats every meal, But that's beside the point right now.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So now my oven wants to connect to my WiFi.
And the only reason why I would appreciate that is
if it automatically changed the time, because I know that's
the one thing that bothers people. I know it bothers you.
So if you came to my house, and saw a test.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I would walk out time. I would walk out tests.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
No, this is.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
When it comes to time on appliances, it has to
be the same. And what's so frustrating to me, So
when the time changes or there's a power outage and
you're having to adjust the times, it's a whole ordeal
because it's only me and Steve living in the house, right,
So if we have more than two things that need
to be set at the same time. The microwave, yeah,
(03:54):
Steve has to be at one and I have to
be at one, and we have to.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Press it at the same time.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You can just know that we have to press it
at the same time.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And what I've learned is that like sixty seconds in
oven time is not the same as sixty seconds in
microwave time. I'm not quite sure why, but that irks me, Like,
I'm sorry, you're so concerned with getting on my Wi
Fi and having all this access to me, but you
can't tell Tom.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's the same hard on your car.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
The car ticks me off. It literally makes me so angry.
Spencer and y'all can't see me right now, but I'm
shaking my hands in the air because I'm getting so
worked up over this. Why why can't we just have
sixty seconds in a minute on our clock and these
I'm just gonna say it, psychotic people who like to
(04:49):
put fifteen minutes ahead on their their.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Clock in the car. Why why can't we just be
on time.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Instead of trying to trick our brains because that I
know it, it is a certain time all the time.
It is a certain time, and that's what time it
should be on everything.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I had a friend of mine who changed the clock
in their car and they weren't convinced that it wasn't
the same full minute that everybody else was getting. Because
she felt like she had to change the time in
her car multiple times in a couple months. She sat
down with a stopwatch, set it it start, and it
went to fifty nine point eight seconds, and she realized
(05:29):
those two tenths is what was ruined and she ended
up selling the car.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
You can handle it running everything. I mean, it's just
and I don't understand how we've gotten to where we are.
We pay all this money for all this high tex stuff,
but yet we can't just like, how is it that
it just can't just be the right time.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
If it wants to connect to my WiFi, it should
automatically change the time. And I don't want to that
twenty four hour military time. That's the other one that
always drives me us. Jesus, you talk to your friend
and they're like, it's thirteen fifteen, and you're like, can
you just say it's.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
No offense? But it's one fifteen. All of us common
folks don't understand.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
That a five to five graves zero here, Alex, share
with Blair what your hack is for not worrying about
the time on appliances.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Oh man, it's super easy. You have to go down
to Low's or home depot and you get this electrical
tape black works better, and then you just put it
right over the top of clock on whatever device is
driving me crazy, Alex, there's tape on everything around here.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
This wouldn't work for me because the tape that wouldn't
work for me?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
That would draw me in saying yeah, we can't be
doing that.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Don't get my husband any ideas, please begging y'all.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Thank you, Alex. See you guys, I want you to
think about your relationship and see if we can help
out Stephanie this morning. She's on a five to five
grave zero.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
So I just pulled into the gym parking lot and
there was a couple walking towards their car, and then
he followed his wife as girlfriend, partner whoever, and he
walked the door, opened it for her, and then walked
around and got inside. It just made me wonder how
many guys that are in relationships.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'm not saying new relationships.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
You would have been married for years. Do you still
open your wife's store every time you go in the
car together or is it just like on special dates?
Is this a dying habit or dying chivalrous act of
kindness that doesn't happen anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It just made me happy for that lady.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
I hope guys will get back to doing this very
simple act of kindness as well as women appreciating it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Thank you, Stephanie. And I think that's really important to remember,
is women appreciating it. I make it a point to
open up the door for whoever I'm dating at the time,
and we'll do that throughout the relationship. I will say, though,
I've noticed Blair and I don't know if this is
something you do in your marriage but I've noticed that
women run to the door, try to get to the
(08:01):
door faster because I think subconsciously they're not even thinking
that a guy is going to open up the door
for him, and by the time they already get there, Like,
what am I supposed to do go up and close
the door and then open it up again for him?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
No, because that would be weird and creepy and you
would be the subject of.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
A group text for shure.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You know, Steve and I have been together well over
a decade at this point, and he doesn't open my
car door every single time.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
But I think I was the one that kind of
stopped that. Really what makes sense?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You know, it is very sweet, and he still does
it often, just not every time.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I just it's not needed for me.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It's not something that you know, I sit around and think, oh,
he doesn't do this. I think when you become comfortable
with somebody, you get into a routine, and that's okay.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Sometimes. I think a lot of times people will want
to say, oh, well, if he did it in dating
and doesn't do it dear in a marriage, that's a
red flag. I don't think that way at all.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Am I saying that it's not sweet when it does happen,
of course it's sweet, but it's not necessary for me.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
What's the one little thing that Steve can do that.
If he didn't do that, you would be like, well,
uh uh, well, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
We have a whiteboard, a small little whiteboard that's on
our refrigerator, and we write notes to each other every
single day.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
If he didn't do that, I would be like.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Hold up, what did your notes say? Today?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
It said, good morning, beautiful, I hope you have a
great day. Like it's not even something that's extensive, like
yesterday he woke up and wrote good morning to my
CMA Award nominee, you know, Like so, I mean, he'll
he'll change things up. Or if we're counting down to
an event or a concert or a trip or something
like that, he'll, you know, do the calculations and figure
(09:55):
out how many days or if it's you know, the
night that the bat kicking off, you know, good morning,
it's bachelor money, whatever it might be. He changes it up,
but it's nothing extensive. But in my mind, just seeing
his handwriting when I go in the kitchen to leave
for the morning, it just it puts a small onm
just underneath you know, no, you know, depending on what
(10:18):
he has going on at work or what you know
might be stressing him out. I want him to know that,
like I'm aware of what's going on for you, and
just know I'm thinking about you and I'll love you.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'll tell you the one little thing that I did
in a relationship that I thought was actually going to
carry a little bit of weight and it didn't. At
the time, my girlfriend and I were a part She
was traveling for work and I was at home. So
while she was gone, I had to go to the
grocery store. I took a picture of flowers and I
snapped it to her and I just said, if you
(10:47):
were here, i'd buy these for you. And then I
just like sent her digital flowers. I thought that would
be a cute little thing, like I'm thinking about you,
you know.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Think that thing went over like a lead balloon.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
As women, if we got something like that, we'd probably
be like, well, you could always send me flowers.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Stephanie, thank you very much for the call today. At
a FI five Graves zero, jump on with us. Share
the little thing that somebody does in your relationship that
if they didn't do it, you'd be miffed. Earlier this
morning on the Spencer Grave Show, Stephanie called us, so,
I just.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Pulled into the Jim parking lot and there was a
couple walking towards their car, and then he followed his
wife's girlfriend, partner whoever, and he walked the door, opened
it for her, and then walked around and got inside.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
How awesome is that a guy opened up the door
for his girl. That led Stephanie to ask, is that
actually something that still happens. Well, we got into this conversation, Blair,
and you said, you know, my husband, Steve doesn't do
that all the time. He does it every once in
a while. But the one little thing that he does is,
you guys write notes to each other on a dry
erase board every day. If he didn't do that, you'd
be mad.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Oh, I would be livid.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
He even knows that, like if he has to be
out of town for work or something like that, he
will leave notes, like handwritten notes places for me to because.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's that big of adea like a scavenger run. Oh yeah, interesting,
where does he leave those?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Just different places that he knows that I will visit,
so like not the kitchen, not the kitchen, there's no
point in putting them in the kitchen. But I mean
he's left them like in my makeup drawer before or
under the towels in the bathroom because like obviously I'll
be going to grab one like places he knows that
I'll see him.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Let's get over to Sammy eight five five grave zero.
Is there something little that your wife does that if
she didn't, you'd be miffed by it?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Yeah, of course she does things that.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
That I love.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Good answer, like what, Well, she looks at me sometimes
and she gives me this look in.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
The car especially, and uh, I'll go it's over at
her and she'll just have this twinkle in her eye.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
She'll just be smiling at me, and and then she
I'll say, what do you what are you looking at
me for?
Speaker 7 (12:57):
And just says you're just so handsome?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Is it followed up with can I borrow twenty bucks?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
On every other time?
Speaker 7 (13:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And what's going on?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
So there's one thing that my husband does if he
stopped doing I'm maybe a little upset.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
You know, like when your wife is busy doing something
and like the husband always comes by, it's like makes
you on the bit a little bit.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Mm hmm. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
At times it's aggravating when I'm like overstimulate with the
kids or if I'm trying to get stuff done around
the house. But if he walks something and he doesn't
do it, I'm like, so.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
If he walks, if he walks by Emily and he
doesn't pop you on the butt, You're just like, what
am I chopliver?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yes, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
So funny how everybody just has their things? Because if
Steve Maples did that, I would punch him in the face,
would you really?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
That would drive me in.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Oh my gosh. I'm a big fan of Like I'll
hold the door open for you when we're walking to
him too a store, but when you walk by me,
I'm going to popy right on the butt.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
But again, if I don't get my daily notes, we're
gonna fight.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I mean, yeah, everybody.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Has It's how country are you on the Spencer Grave Show?
Do you go by Emily or m?
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Kind of both? I mean, my name is obviously Emily,
but I'll everybody it was close to him and calls
me m.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Anybody call you Millie, No.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
I had a pee coach. You's call me mc hammer.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Okay, well, there's shout out for anybody that was born
after nineteen ninety five. Mc Hammer was a rapper back
in the day, and he was famous because you could
not touch this.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
That's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
On a scale, I one of the country. How country
are you?
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
I mean I don't want to like boats, but I
feel like I'm probably off the charts.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh well, then you better be perfect, you better be quick,
and you better be funny and have great stories. You ready, Okay,
I'm ready? All right, Emily, here are your three questions.
What color are q BO detractors?
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Oh, caboda is orange and black? Nice?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Nice, very very correct.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What's your reaction when you hear a rooster crow?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I mean it's supposed to be to wake up and
go feed the chickens and the cows and stuff, but
I just would try to put a pillow over my
head and not hear it.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Did you have to wake up to feed farm animals
or did you not grow up on a farm.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
I didn't grow up on a farm, but I've got
four kids now, so I feel like I don't even.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Need a rooster oh god, Yeah, when they make noise,
you're just like God, go back to sleep or go
turn on Saturday cartoons.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I thought you were about to convary your children to
the farm animals. I mean, I mean it's one and
the same.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Here's your final question. You're doing good so far. Share
with us the last time you were covered in dirt
from head to toe.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Well, that would probably be when we went mud run
and we have a forerunner that belonged to my brother.
It's like an old old ult for runner, and we
took it out mud riding and we got it stuck,
and me and the kids try to help my husband
push it out of the mud.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Always recruiting, always getting the kids involved. Oh yeah, it's
good family bonding. Off the charts not bad today. You
are at ten.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Nice what I expected. I'm a coal miner's daughter and
I have a bunch of redneck family from Rookwood, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
So love that.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
I felt like it should be like that.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
This Friday, Hardy is going to be celebrating my birthday
at the Coke Coal Amphitheater and we got a pair
of tickets for you.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Well, happy birthday. That's so exciting.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Thank you. What's this I'm hearing about Zach Brian possibly
being engaged.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, so he's been dating this woman and she was
actually spotted with a ring on that finger, so left hand.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, the where the wedding and engagement ring goes.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Now here's the thing. There hasn't been this official report.
It's not like they've been nounced something. But him and
his girlfriend, her name's Samantha. You know, they're not taking
that picture down. They're not shutting the rumors down, which
you know, most of the time, if something like that
were to leak and it wasn't accurate, somebody's stepping in
(17:11):
and kind of squashing those rumors.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
And that's just not happening yet.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Is it a diamond?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah, and it's large.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Okay, I find that highly disrespectful if they're not engaged.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, I mean, it's never bothered me.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I mean, like, I mean, I know girls that have
done it before just because not because they're trying to,
you know, be something they're not. It's just, hey, I
have a ring and I want to put it on
that finger, so that that doesn't bother me. What bothers
me is they just confirmed their relationship last month, so
surely this isn't an engagement ring.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So you're thinking it's too soon because of his you know,
messy breakup from that Brianna girl that he was with before.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
This probably just comes down to me and Zach Brian
having beef that he's unaware of, because I'm not a
person that's like you got to date a certain.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Amount of time before you get engaged.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Is it happens at different speeds for everyone, But for
some reason this irks me.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Now I'm not against women having rings on that finger,
but if it's a diamond, if it's supposed to look
like an engagement ring and it's not an engagement ring,
that's where I sit there and I go, that's a
little over the top. If it's just a regular, like
you know, turquoise ring, because you're really into the Western
motif and that's kind of your look, and you have
that on the finger and nobody thinks that that's an
(18:24):
engagement ring, go do it, do whatever you want. I
don't know, maybe it's just something where it's a little
too fast, But I do know that there are women
who wear rings on that finger because they don't want
to get approached by guys when they go out with
their girlfriends, so they try to act.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Like that all the time, exactly my single in my
single era, Oh yeah, all the time.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
A five five grave zero. We were talking about Zach Bryan.
He apparently is dating somebody and they've only been together
for I don't know, thirty four minutes, and she is
now sparking rumors because they took a picture where there
were a bunch of fireworks and she had a wedding ring,
an engagement ring on I find that to be highly disrespectful.
(19:04):
If a woman wears a diamond ring on that finger
and there's no engagement and they're not married, I think.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
That he's gotten a little boring. So he's like, what
can I do to make the public notice anymore?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Well, after that messy breakup that he had Blair, it was.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Like nobody wanted to be a like, listen to his
music or do anything with him. So I bet he's
just like, let me mix it up a little bit.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Here, wear this sake engagement ring. Love that.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Thank you for colling. We hope you have a great day.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Thank you y'all.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Hey Samantha, no I do I have or a ring
on my wedding ring finger, but it wasn't a domon,
it was a Harley Davidson ring.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Actually completely fine with that, although I just got a
message from somebody who said that my argument is actually
wrong because they got engaged to with a ring that
wasn't diamonds.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Ye see, I'm not a domin girl.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So what if I gave you a ring pop and
asked you to be my wife? That would work. Candy
necklace eeple.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
One depends on the day, right, I love it.
Claire. Yesterday we were talking about the CMA nominations, but
we didn't really get into some of the specific categories.
New Artists of the Year Zach top Ella Langley, Steven

opening for Hardy on Friday. He's awesome, Tucker Wetmore, and Shaboozy.
Much different names than you're normally used to hearing.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
You know, that's a stacked category, a really stacked category.
If you had to make a guest right here, right now,
who's going home with it?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I would have to say the two front runners are
Ella Langley and Zach.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Topp okay, but only one person gets to take the trophy.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Holme, who's going You would have to go Ella Langley,
wouldn't you? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Mine is Ella Langley.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I always hate in this category because I do think
there's a lot of pressure put on this category of.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Like, oh, who's getting to that next level?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
You know?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
And I hate that Ella and Zach are having to
go up against each other. But you know what's also interesting,
if you've been following the Riley Green, Ella Langley make
Maroni of it all most of the time, the former
New Artist of the Year hands off the trophy. Last
year's winner was Megan Moroni. I'm just saying, just throwing
(01:13):
that out there.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
November nineteenth, ABC the CMA Awards, giving you all the
warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the good good on the
Spencer Grave Show. Some people would say this story is
in my wheelhouse because I'm an adrenaline junkie. I've gone skydiving,
scuba diving. I've even gone diving with Great Whites, but
(01:34):
hiking not really something that I want to do. A
group of hikers in Colorado ended up getting a nice reward.
They reached the top of a trail near Aspen, several
hundred thousand or several thousand feet up. Well, some other
guy hiked up with a sixty pound backpack and it
was full of ice cream sandwiches, so he started giving
(01:54):
him out to people.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Okay, I mean, I think this is great.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You're not gonna find me on the trail to be
able to give me said ice cream sandwiches. But for
those of you that might enjoy something like this, I
hope this comes into your near future.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I'll tell you what if every hike ends with ice
cream sandwiches. I might just have a new hobby.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
No you're not, No, you're not.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Something's happening in my house right now that I know,
Blair would lose her absolute mind over. In fact, it
would consume your daily thoughts until it was fixed. But
me really is not that big of a deal until
I realized that I couldn't use the machine for one
simple error. But I was meal prepping last night and
my oven says test. The power had gone out not
(02:38):
too long ago during one of those storms, and now
it flashes test time, no test time, and the time's wrong.
Because I have an issue with this oven. It wants
to connect to my WiFi. Why do appliances have to
(02:59):
connect to the WiFi? Like, why does my fridge need
to be on my WiFi?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Well, you know this wouldn't happen if you would just
uper eats every meal, But that's beside the point right now.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So now my oven wants to connect to my WiFi.
And the only reason why I would appreciate that is
if it automatically changed the time, because I know that's
the one thing that bothers people. I know it bothers you.
So if you came to my house, and saw a test.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I would walk out time. I would walk out tests.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
No, this is.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
When it comes to time on appliances, it has to
be the same. And what's so frustrating to me, So
when the time changes or there's a power outage and
you're having to adjust the times, it's a whole ordeal
because it's only me and Steve living in the house, right,
So if we have more than two things that need
to be set at the same time. The microwave, yeah,
(03:54):
Steve has to be at one and I have to
be at one, and we have to.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Press it at the same time.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You can just know that we have to press it
at the same time.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And what I've learned is that like sixty seconds in
oven time is not the same as sixty seconds in
microwave time. I'm not quite sure why, but that irks me, Like,
I'm sorry, you're so concerned with getting on my Wi
Fi and having all this access to me, but you
can't tell Tom.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's the same hard on your car.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
The car ticks me off. It literally makes me so angry.
Spencer and y'all can't see me right now, but I'm
shaking my hands in the air because I'm getting so
worked up over this. Why why can't we just have
sixty seconds in a minute on our clock and these
I'm just gonna say it, psychotic people who like to
(04:49):
put fifteen minutes ahead on their their.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Clock in the car. Why why can't we just be
on time.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Instead of trying to trick our brains because that I
know it, it is a certain time all the time.
It is a certain time, and that's what time it
should be on everything.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I had a friend of mine who changed the clock
in their car and they weren't convinced that it wasn't
the same full minute that everybody else was getting. Because
she felt like she had to change the time in
her car multiple times in a couple months. She sat
down with a stopwatch, set it it start, and it
went to fifty nine point eight seconds, and she realized
(05:29):
those two tenths is what was ruined and she ended
up selling the car.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
You can handle it running everything. I mean, it's just
and I don't understand how we've gotten to where we are.
We pay all this money for all this high tex stuff,
but yet we can't just like, how is it that
it just can't just be the right time.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
If it wants to connect to my WiFi, it should
automatically change the time. And I don't want to that
twenty four hour military time. That's the other one that
always drives me us. Jesus, you talk to your friend
and they're like, it's thirteen fifteen, and you're like, can
you just say it's.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
No offense? But it's one fifteen. All of us common
folks don't understand.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
That a five to five graves zero here, Alex, share
with Blair what your hack is for not worrying about
the time on appliances.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Oh man, it's super easy. You have to go down
to Low's or home depot and you get this electrical
tape black works better, and then you just put it
right over the top of clock on whatever device is
driving me crazy, Alex, there's tape on everything around here.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
This wouldn't work for me because the tape that wouldn't
work for me?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
That would draw me in saying yeah, we can't be
doing that.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Don't get my husband any ideas, please begging y'all.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Thank you, Alex. See you guys, I want you to
think about your relationship and see if we can help
out Stephanie this morning. She's on a five to five
grave zero.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
So I just pulled into the gym parking lot and
there was a couple walking towards their car, and then
he followed his wife as girlfriend, partner whoever, and he
walked the door, opened it for her, and then walked
around and got inside. It just made me wonder how
many guys that are in relationships.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'm not saying new relationships.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
You would have been married for years. Do you still
open your wife's store every time you go in the
car together or is it just like on special dates?
Is this a dying habit or dying chivalrous act of
kindness that doesn't happen anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It just made me happy for that lady.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
I hope guys will get back to doing this very
simple act of kindness as well as women appreciating it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Thank you, Stephanie. And I think that's really important to remember,
is women appreciating it. I make it a point to
open up the door for whoever I'm dating at the time,
and we'll do that throughout the relationship. I will say, though,
I've noticed Blair and I don't know if this is
something you do in your marriage but I've noticed that
women run to the door, try to get to the
(08:01):
door faster because I think subconsciously they're not even thinking
that a guy is going to open up the door
for him, and by the time they already get there, Like,
what am I supposed to do go up and close
the door and then open it up again for him?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
No, because that would be weird and creepy and you
would be the subject of.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
A group text for shure.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You know, Steve and I have been together well over
a decade at this point, and he doesn't open my
car door every single time.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
But I think I was the one that kind of
stopped that. Really what makes sense?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You know, it is very sweet, and he still does
it often, just not every time.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I just it's not needed for me.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It's not something that you know, I sit around and think, oh,
he doesn't do this. I think when you become comfortable
with somebody, you get into a routine, and that's okay.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Sometimes. I think a lot of times people will want
to say, oh, well, if he did it in dating
and doesn't do it dear in a marriage, that's a
red flag. I don't think that way at all.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Am I saying that it's not sweet when it does happen,
of course it's sweet, but it's not necessary for me.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
What's the one little thing that Steve can do that.
If he didn't do that, you would be like, well,
uh uh, well, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
We have a whiteboard, a small little whiteboard that's on
our refrigerator, and we write notes to each other every
single day.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
If he didn't do that, I would be like.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Hold up, what did your notes say? Today?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
It said, good morning, beautiful, I hope you have a
great day. Like it's not even something that's extensive, like
yesterday he woke up and wrote good morning to my
CMA Award nominee, you know, Like so, I mean, he'll
he'll change things up. Or if we're counting down to
an event or a concert or a trip or something
like that, he'll, you know, do the calculations and figure
(09:55):
out how many days or if it's you know, the
night that the bat kicking off, you know, good morning,
it's bachelor money, whatever it might be. He changes it up,
but it's nothing extensive. But in my mind, just seeing
his handwriting when I go in the kitchen to leave
for the morning, it just it puts a small onm
just underneath you know, no, you know, depending on what
(10:18):
he has going on at work or what you know
might be stressing him out. I want him to know that,
like I'm aware of what's going on for you, and
just know I'm thinking about you and I'll love you.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'll tell you the one little thing that I did
in a relationship that I thought was actually going to
carry a little bit of weight and it didn't. At
the time, my girlfriend and I were a part She
was traveling for work and I was at home. So
while she was gone, I had to go to the
grocery store. I took a picture of flowers and I
snapped it to her and I just said, if you
(10:47):
were here, i'd buy these for you. And then I
just like sent her digital flowers. I thought that would
be a cute little thing, like I'm thinking about you,
you know.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Think that thing went over like a lead balloon.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
As women, if we got something like that, we'd probably
be like, well, you could always send me flowers.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Stephanie, thank you very much for the call today. At
a FI five Graves zero, jump on with us. Share
the little thing that somebody does in your relationship that
if they didn't do it, you'd be miffed. Earlier this
morning on the Spencer Grave Show, Stephanie called us, so,
I just.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Pulled into the Jim parking lot and there was a
couple walking towards their car, and then he followed his
wife's girlfriend, partner whoever, and he walked the door, opened
it for her, and then walked around and got inside.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
How awesome is that a guy opened up the door
for his girl. That led Stephanie to ask, is that
actually something that still happens. Well, we got into this conversation, Blair,
and you said, you know, my husband, Steve doesn't do
that all the time. He does it every once in
a while. But the one little thing that he does is,
you guys write notes to each other on a dry
erase board every day. If he didn't do that, you'd
be mad.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Oh, I would be livid.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
He even knows that, like if he has to be
out of town for work or something like that, he
will leave notes, like handwritten notes places for me to because.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's that big of adea like a scavenger run. Oh yeah, interesting,
where does he leave those?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Just different places that he knows that I will visit,
so like not the kitchen, not the kitchen, there's no
point in putting them in the kitchen. But I mean
he's left them like in my makeup drawer before or
under the towels in the bathroom because like obviously I'll
be going to grab one like places he knows that
I'll see him.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Let's get over to Sammy eight five five grave zero.
Is there something little that your wife does that if
she didn't, you'd be miffed by it?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Yeah, of course she does things that.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
That I love.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Good answer, like what, Well, she looks at me sometimes
and she gives me this look in.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
The car especially, and uh, I'll go it's over at
her and she'll just have this twinkle in her eye.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
She'll just be smiling at me, and and then she
I'll say, what do you what are you looking at
me for?
Speaker 7 (12:57):
And just says you're just so handsome?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Is it followed up with can I borrow twenty bucks?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
On every other time?
Speaker 7 (13:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And what's going on?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
So there's one thing that my husband does if he
stopped doing I'm maybe a little upset.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
You know, like when your wife is busy doing something
and like the husband always comes by, it's like makes
you on the bit a little bit.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Mm hmm. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
At times it's aggravating when I'm like overstimulate with the
kids or if I'm trying to get stuff done around
the house. But if he walks something and he doesn't
do it, I'm like, so.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
If he walks, if he walks by Emily and he
doesn't pop you on the butt, You're just like, what
am I chopliver?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yes, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
So funny how everybody just has their things? Because if
Steve Maples did that, I would punch him in the face,
would you really?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
That would drive me in.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Oh my gosh. I'm a big fan of Like I'll
hold the door open for you when we're walking to
him too a store, but when you walk by me,
I'm going to popy right on the butt.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
But again, if I don't get my daily notes, we're
gonna fight.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I mean, yeah, everybody.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Has It's how country are you on the Spencer Grave Show?
Do you go by Emily or m?
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Kind of both? I mean, my name is obviously Emily,
but I'll everybody it was close to him and calls
me m.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Anybody call you Millie, No.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
I had a pee coach. You's call me mc hammer.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Okay, well, there's shout out for anybody that was born
after nineteen ninety five. Mc Hammer was a rapper back
in the day, and he was famous because you could
not touch this.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
That's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
On a scale, I one of the country. How country
are you?
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
I mean I don't want to like boats, but I
feel like I'm probably off the charts.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh well, then you better be perfect, you better be quick,
and you better be funny and have great stories. You ready, Okay,
I'm ready? All right, Emily, here are your three questions.
What color are q BO detractors?
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Oh, caboda is orange and black? Nice?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Nice, very very correct.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What's your reaction when you hear a rooster crow?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I mean it's supposed to be to wake up and
go feed the chickens and the cows and stuff, but
I just would try to put a pillow over my
head and not hear it.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Did you have to wake up to feed farm animals
or did you not grow up on a farm.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
I didn't grow up on a farm, but I've got
four kids now, so I feel like I don't even.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Need a rooster oh god, Yeah, when they make noise,
you're just like God, go back to sleep or go
turn on Saturday cartoons.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I thought you were about to convary your children to
the farm animals. I mean, I mean it's one and
the same.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Here's your final question. You're doing good so far. Share
with us the last time you were covered in dirt
from head to toe.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Well, that would probably be when we went mud run
and we have a forerunner that belonged to my brother.
It's like an old old ult for runner, and we
took it out mud riding and we got it stuck,
and me and the kids try to help my husband
push it out of the mud.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Always recruiting, always getting the kids involved. Oh yeah, it's
good family bonding. Off the charts not bad today. You
are at ten.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Nice what I expected. I'm a coal miner's daughter and
I have a bunch of redneck family from Rookwood, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
So love that.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
I felt like it should be like that.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
This Friday, Hardy is going to be celebrating my birthday
at the Coke Coal Amphitheater and we got a pair
of tickets for you.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Well, happy birthday. That's so exciting.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Thank you. What's this I'm hearing about Zach Brian possibly
being engaged.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, so he's been dating this woman and she was
actually spotted with a ring on that finger, so left hand.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, the where the wedding and engagement ring goes.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Now here's the thing. There hasn't been this official report.
It's not like they've been nounced something. But him and
his girlfriend, her name's Samantha. You know, they're not taking
that picture down. They're not shutting the rumors down, which
you know, most of the time, if something like that
were to leak and it wasn't accurate, somebody's stepping in
(17:11):
and kind of squashing those rumors.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
And that's just not happening yet.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Is it a diamond?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah, and it's large.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Okay, I find that highly disrespectful if they're not engaged.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, I mean, it's never bothered me.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I mean, like, I mean, I know girls that have
done it before just because not because they're trying to,
you know, be something they're not. It's just, hey, I
have a ring and I want to put it on
that finger, so that that doesn't bother me. What bothers
me is they just confirmed their relationship last month, so
surely this isn't an engagement ring.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So you're thinking it's too soon because of his you know,
messy breakup from that Brianna girl that he was with before.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
This probably just comes down to me and Zach Brian
having beef that he's unaware of, because I'm not a
person that's like you got to date a certain.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Amount of time before you get engaged.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Is it happens at different speeds for everyone, But for
some reason this irks me.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Now I'm not against women having rings on that finger,
but if it's a diamond, if it's supposed to look
like an engagement ring and it's not an engagement ring,
that's where I sit there and I go, that's a
little over the top. If it's just a regular, like
you know, turquoise ring, because you're really into the Western
motif and that's kind of your look, and you have
that on the finger and nobody thinks that that's an
(18:24):
engagement ring, go do it, do whatever you want. I
don't know, maybe it's just something where it's a little
too fast, But I do know that there are women
who wear rings on that finger because they don't want
to get approached by guys when they go out with
their girlfriends, so they try to act.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Like that all the time, exactly my single in my
single era, Oh yeah, all the time.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
A five five grave zero. We were talking about Zach Bryan.
He apparently is dating somebody and they've only been together
for I don't know, thirty four minutes, and she is
now sparking rumors because they took a picture where there
were a bunch of fireworks and she had a wedding ring,
an engagement ring on I find that to be highly disrespectful.
(19:04):
If a woman wears a diamond ring on that finger
and there's no engagement and they're not married, I think.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
That he's gotten a little boring. So he's like, what
can I do to make the public notice anymore?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Well, after that messy breakup that he had Blair, it was.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Like nobody wanted to be a like, listen to his
music or do anything with him. So I bet he's
just like, let me mix it up a little bit.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Here, wear this sake engagement ring. Love that.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Thank you for colling. We hope you have a great day.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Thank you y'all.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Hey Samantha, no I do I have or a ring
on my wedding ring finger, but it wasn't a domon,
it was a Harley Davidson ring.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Actually completely fine with that, although I just got a
message from somebody who said that my argument is actually
wrong because they got engaged to with a ring that
wasn't diamonds.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Ye see, I'm not a domin girl.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So what if I gave you a ring pop and
asked you to be my wife? That would work. Candy
necklace eeple.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
One depends on the day, right, I love it.
