Speaker 1 (00:00):
I got into a conversation with a couple couples this
weekend and the wives were all talking about how they
record their husband's sleeping, mainly their snores, so they can
throw it back in their face in the morning when
they asked if they.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Slept, well, okay, and what's the problem with this?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I think it's actually great. And if I know that
two people that I were talking to do it, that
means that more people record their spartner's snoring. And it
might be you know, you recording your husband, or maybe
even a husband recording a wife. Doesn't matter really what
it is. But I figured this would be a good
time to bring back snore wars.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Here's my thing.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Men could really show how smart or how not so
smart they are if they try to number one video
their wives snoring. But to get that to it so,
I feel like we're going to have more men snoring
than women's snoring here.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So Amber is the first one to jump into snore wars.
She sent me a clip of her husband snoring, and
she wrote to us on Facebook saying, my husband Alan
sounds like a small airplane buzzing the tower. Sadly, it's
his rhythm that actually helps me fall asleep, but I
always wake up a couple hours later, and usually one
or two hours before my alarm is supposed to go off,
(01:16):
making it hard for me to function throughout the day.
Let me give you a taste of what Alan sounds like.
He actually has a pretty good rhythm. I could see
where she would fall back to sleep with that.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I've heard this from other wives that say, oh, yeah,
you know, it's crazy that that's what helps me fall
asleep at night. Inaccurate. I don't know that I'm buying this,
absolutely not. I feel like you're really trying, Kiri Spencer,
because you have a seapat machine, so it's helpful for
you to hear that women enjoy noises at night.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Alan is going up against Sarah Beth's husband Ed. She
shared a clip saying that he's doing his best lion
king impression. She says, Ed sounds like a pack of
lions and occasionally he'll gasp. He apparently doesn't have the
(02:17):
same kind of rhythm as we heard from Allan. This
is Ed. I can hear the lion.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I feel like he should seek medical attention. Something's not
right there.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So this is where we need you guys, to jump
on the phone with us a five five graves zero
and tell us the snore that would bother you the most?
Was it Alan, who his wife says sounds like a
small airplane buzzing a tower. Or is it Ed who
(02:56):
apparently sounds like a lion gasping for air? Eight five
five zero?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Blair?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You want to throw your two cents in?
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Can we?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Is there an? All the above is ABC.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
We have Other Blair on a five five graves zero.
I'm Spencer, That's Blair, and then we have other Blair.
We're gonna play some clips of some guys snoring for
you Other Blair and then you have to share with
us which one you think would keep you up most
at night and that person will move on. Here is
the first one. Oh jeez, just from first listen to Alan,
(03:37):
how does that snore hit you?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Like?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He should probably see an ANT. But there's issues there.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I feel like all of us are snore are going
to have to see an E and T at some point.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I mean, I don't think that guy knows he needs
to see one yet. That one's pretty deep and solid, Like,
I don't think he's probably getting good rest, all right?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
This is want him to seek help. That's really nice
of you.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yes, this one is Ed. What does Ed sound like
to you? Is it a dog? Funny that you say that,
because said he sounds like he's doing the lion king impression?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yes, that is rough. I mean that seems like my
dog when he's in a very very deep sleep dreaming.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
That is rough. So now it's on you out of
hearing Alan and Ed. Which one do you feel like
would keep you up at night?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Well that last one Ed, Ed, ED was pretty rough.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Ed.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Seems like I'd be scared to sleep next to him.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Our lion king guy. Ed is the champion for this
round of snore Wars. Thank you, Other Blair appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
You're so welcome morning.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
So now we are gonna have to take him and
we're gonna have to put him up against somebody else tomorrow.
So if you have recorded your husband or your wife
life sleeping and snoring, get it to us. You can
shoot it to us on our DMS at Spencer Grave
Show giving you all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's
the good good on the Spencer Grave Show. This is
(05:13):
just an amazing story about how a sister cares so
much for her brother. Susan and Jeffrey Bergemann were both
on the high school across country team. It wasn't Jeffrey's idea, though.
Susan was an incredible runner and has been running all
throughout high school. But she realized that she didn't want
her brother to miss out on life because he's confined
(05:34):
to a wheelchair. He was born with a debilitating disease
when he was little and he couldn't walk. She didn't
want him to miss out on things, so she signed
him up for the cross country team. Okay, she runs
her races and pushes her brother in a it's it's
a wheelchair, but I mean it's got like four wheel
drive tires on it.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, it's it's it's made for more yes, the.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Word stringent activities, more off road, I mean. And it's incredible.
She's been doing this the last couple of seasons and
now she plans to even run into college. Obviously Jeffrey
won't be on the college running team with her. But
I just think it's such a beautiful story about a
sibling looking out for her younger sibling.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
What a commitment to And I know you're saying that
he's not going to be on the college team, but
I hope that he can be incorporated in some way.
I don't know what that looks like, but you know,
obviously he'll probably be their cheering girl, but I hope
there's a way that he can be more involved since
he's been a part of her story up to this point.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Susan, you're the best sister a brother could have. Over
the weekend, people from all across the world gathered to
mourn the loss of Charlie Kirk. He had a service
in Arizona at the football stadium where the Cardinals play.
There were sixty five thousand people inside into attendance. They
even opened up a stadium pretty close. I think it
(06:52):
was already cross the street fit another ten thousand people.
But the live stream of all the events was seen worldwide.
Every Iheartnews radio station, by the way, carried it, which
I thought was incredible. That's the first time that our
stations have done something like that in a very very
very long time. But it was inspirational. I don't know
(07:12):
if you saw it or not, but did you hear
Erica Kirk, the widow.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Of Charlie, Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
There was a moment, and I'm sure if you were
on social media over the last twenty four hours you
saw it, but maybe you missed it. It's been really
rough to see that play out, like she almost hasn't
had a break to even put her thoughts together. But
she walked out on stage yesterday and she said this,
my husband, Charlie.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
He wanted to save.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Young men, just like the one who took his life,
that young.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Man on the cross.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Our Savior said, Father, forgive them, for they not know
what they do.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
That young man, I forgive him.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
How she mustered the strength to be able to do.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
That is beyond me when I initially heard this, and
then you know, you had to take a few minutes
afterwards to just really let that soak in what she said.
I looked at Steve, my husband, and I said, I
don't know that I'd be able to do that.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
You know, if I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Being honest, I don't know that I would be strong
enough to do what she did and to say those
words and not only say them, but truly mean them.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And it forgives her the burden to carry on her
shoulders of what happened to her husband, Charlie. But it
doesn't excuse the fact of what that person did. And
I think that's what I have and solace in is
she can be free for herself to be able to say,
(09:05):
I forgive that person for what they did, because just
like the scripture said, he doesn't know what he does.
But you're right, it takes a very very special person
to be able to reach down that deeply and be
able to forgive the person who shatters your.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
World, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
And what's crazy is, you know, for the most part,
she's getting support and things like that on social media,
but you still have people that want to be hateful
and want to judge her during this time. And it's like,
I don't see how people can do that because at
the end of the day, she's a wife who lost
her husband. She's a wife who lost her husband who
now is a single mom to kids that don't understand
(09:45):
truly what's going on.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Just yet, she has the weight of the world on
her shoulders.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
So the very least that we could do is show
compassion and support for a woman who has, like you said,
been carrying all of this since it happened, who's going
to continue to carry it in some whether whether she's
vocal about it or not. I mean her life totally
changed to no fault of her or her husband's.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
We're thinking about you, Erica, We're thinking about Charlie, We're
thinking about everyone he impacted. It's How Country are You?
On The Spencer Grave Show. Welcome to How Country are You?
Started off with everybody on a scale of one of
the country. How country are you?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I would say about a can but I'm more old
school country. Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
What if the questions don't have anything to do with
country music? What if they're just a country lifestyle.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Oh well, I grew up kind of on a farm,
but now I'm just living in the woods. So no
farm analysts, just a few dogs.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Listen, stay with the ten if you want. We'll give
you three questions and then we'll give you a score
at the end. So you ready, I'm ready. What sound
is this?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
I mean, it could be a truck, or it could
be a fool or.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It is probably a truck.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
It's a truck and a jake break. So we're going
to give it to you. But the jake break was
the most important part. Here's question number two on how
country are You? What have you bought off the side
of the road.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Recently, I bought an Alabama hat at a flea market
on Friday.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And where was this flea market in a parking lot?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
I'm sorry, not a flea market had a yard sale.
It was I've seen it right when I was coming
back from school drop off, and.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
She said, I've seen it, so you definitely now saw
that I need it.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You're coming home with me, all right?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Final question, how country are you? Why did you have
to alter a perfectly good outfit?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It got to b What do you mean I've lost
so much white since I've had kids, saying that's what
I usually.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, So what was the outfit and what did it
go from? And what did you turn it into?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Address would turn into a shirt? You just tat and.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Look at you so resourceful?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yes, I love it.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Nicely done today nine point three for you.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
We've got tickets to Jason Alden this Friday Cocola Amphitheater.
You'll be there.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Awesome. Thank y'all.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Have you ever cracked a screen on your phone?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Oh yeah, I think everybody has right.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Happened to me this weekend and it ruined my day.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, yeah, I mean, we rely so heavily on our
phones that yeah, that would do it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, I know. But like when you crack a screen,
do you just let it ride until you get a
new phone or are you like me where you have
this debilitating moment where you're like, I have to get
this fixed because it drives you crazy. My ADHD was
popping like crazy this weekend.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, my OCD wouldn't let me keep it how it is.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
But I know people that just whether it fazes them
or not, they've gone a long time with the screen being.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Cracked, specifically kids whose.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Parents are trying to teach them a lesson and it's like, no,
we're not going to go just like pay for this.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Either you pay for it or you sit with it.
And yeah, I think the most frustrating.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Part for me is we pay so much money for
these phones, and I think a lot of times we
forget how expensive these phones are because a lot of
times you pay like a monthly you know fee towards
it or you know whatever. You don't realize they're so expensive.
How are they cracking as easy as they are?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And people talk about screen protectors, they'll have one of those.
Those don't always work, you know, sometimes you get one
and you think like, oh, you spent twenty five bucks
on it, that should be strong enough. Nope, it's not.
What ended up happening is I flew to Philadelphia and
when I got onto the plane, I had to like
scoot around somebody to get into my seat. For whatever reason,
he just wouldn't stand up. So I was like, all right, well,
(13:47):
my butt where my phone was in the back pocket,
hit the corner of that seat from nineteen seventy that
probably still had the ash tray in it. And when
I went to get my phone out of my pocket,
I looked down and was a crack and it started
in the side and it went all the way across,
and there were like three really small cracks that went
(14:08):
side to side, and when I swiped my finger up,
it got in the way. Not that it was a problem.
The phone worked perfectly.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Fine, yeah, but I mean eventually you know that that
crack is going to continue to get worse until the
phone is, you know, not working correctly.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I mean you just know that it is, so it's like,
might as well get a ten care of now.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So when I got to Philadelphia, first order of business
was trying to figure out a way where I could
fix this. So there I was on a Friday night,
standing in one of those cracked phone cell phone repair
shops trying to get this fixed. It took an hour
and a half and I got my phone with a
brand new screen.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well that's good.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I mean most of the time in a scenario like this,
I'm the bad person that's like, hey, should I just
get a new phone? Like? You know?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I won't. Actually I didn't think about that and didn't
research that, because I certainly did. But I just have
this hard time believing that there a people who are
out there, and I know they're there. I see this
all the time when we go to shows where you
live with a crack screen, it doesn't bother you. I've
even seen it where people are missing chunks out of
their screen and they still will not go and get
(15:14):
that fixed or get the phone replaced. And I don't
know how anybody does it.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah I don't. I just we're not the same. We
are not the same eight five.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Five graves zero. If you lived with a crack screen
and it doesn't bother you, does this happen to you
a lot?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Oh? Yeah, many times?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
How do you get through the day? Knowing that your
screen is cracked.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
You know, if it.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Works, it works. You know, appearance isn't always my number
one thing, but if it's cracked to a point where
it's not working, I'd probably immediately go fix it because
I work from my phone, so but but yeah, if
it works.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
It works, Sam. This weekend, by the time I landed,
I was on the phone immediately like, do I buy
a new phone? I want to spend one thousand dollars
to do that. I'm not Blair, you know, she's big
money bags over there.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I wish I would big money bags. I just have
that debt charge every month it hits the count.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
But I looked at that phone and I was like,
I got to get this fixed. Three hundred dollars later,
I had a new screen. But then I started to think,
I know people like you, Sam, who operate throughout your
life having cracked screens for more than twenty minutes.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
It's a little bit of anxiety. But you know, I said,
if it works, it works.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I just don't get it. Let's get over to Quinton
this morning A five to five graves zero people who
have cracked screens. How do they do it?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
And normally it's not just cracked, it's like completely busted,
like they've had it for five years and have just
reined over a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Like pieces are missing.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I can't say.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
It's almost like pieces of the screen are like falling off,
like cutting your hand, and it's like, what's happening here?
Speaker 6 (16:52):
They set it down on the table and when they
pick it up, those little shiny pieces up underneath it.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yes, it's I want to grab that person to go
you just need some money? Can I help you with this?
Because I don't know how you can operate in life
that way.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Somebody's got to know somebody, right,
I got into a conversation with a couple couples this
weekend and the wives were all talking about how they
record their husband's sleeping, mainly their snores, so they can

the weekend, people from all across the world gathered to
mourn the loss of Charlie Kirk. He had a service
in Arizona at the football stadium where the Cardinals play.
There were sixty five thousand people inside into attendance. They
even opened up a stadium pretty close. I think it
(06:52):
was already cross the street fit another ten thousand people.
But the live stream of all the events was seen worldwide.
Every Iheartnews radio station, by the way, carried it, which
I thought was incredible. That's the first time that our
stations have done something like that in a very very
very long time. But it was inspirational. I don't know
(07:12):
if you saw it or not, but did you hear
Erica Kirk, the widow.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Of Charlie, Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
There was a moment, and I'm sure if you were
on social media over the last twenty four hours you
saw it, but maybe you missed it. It's been really
rough to see that play out, like she almost hasn't
had a break to even put her thoughts together. But
she walked out on stage yesterday and she said this,
my husband, Charlie.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
He wanted to save.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Young men, just like the one who took his life,
that young.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Man on the cross.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Our Savior said, Father, forgive them, for they not know
what they do.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
That young man, I forgive him.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
How she mustered the strength to be able to do.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
That is beyond me when I initially heard this, and
then you know, you had to take a few minutes
afterwards to just really let that soak in what she said.
I looked at Steve, my husband, and I said, I
don't know that I'd be able to do that.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
You know, if I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Being honest, I don't know that I would be strong
enough to do what she did and to say those
words and not only say them, but truly mean them.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And it forgives her the burden to carry on her
shoulders of what happened to her husband, Charlie. But it
doesn't excuse the fact of what that person did. And
I think that's what I have and solace in is
she can be free for herself to be able to say,
(09:05):
I forgive that person for what they did, because just
like the scripture said, he doesn't know what he does.
But you're right, it takes a very very special person
to be able to reach down that deeply and be
able to forgive the person who shatters your.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
World, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
And what's crazy is, you know, for the most part,
she's getting support and things like that on social media,
but you still have people that want to be hateful
and want to judge her during this time. And it's like,
I don't see how people can do that because at
the end of the day, she's a wife who lost
her husband. She's a wife who lost her husband who
now is a single mom to kids that don't understand
(09:45):
truly what's going on.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Just yet, she has the weight of the world on
her shoulders.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
So the very least that we could do is show
compassion and support for a woman who has, like you said,
been carrying all of this since it happened, who's going
to continue to carry it in some whether whether she's
vocal about it or not. I mean her life totally
changed to no fault of her or her husband's.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
We're thinking about you, Erica, We're thinking about Charlie, We're
thinking about everyone he impacted. It's How Country are You?
On The Spencer Grave Show. Welcome to How Country are You?
Started off with everybody on a scale of one of
the country. How country are you?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I would say about a can but I'm more old
school country. Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
What if the questions don't have anything to do with
country music? What if they're just a country lifestyle.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Oh well, I grew up kind of on a farm,
but now I'm just living in the woods. So no
farm analysts, just a few dogs.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Listen, stay with the ten if you want. We'll give
you three questions and then we'll give you a score
at the end. So you ready, I'm ready. What sound
is this?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
I mean, it could be a truck, or it could
be a fool or.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It is probably a truck.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
It's a truck and a jake break. So we're going
to give it to you. But the jake break was
the most important part. Here's question number two on how
country are You? What have you bought off the side
of the road.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Recently, I bought an Alabama hat at a flea market
on Friday.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And where was this flea market in a parking lot?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
I'm sorry, not a flea market had a yard sale.
It was I've seen it right when I was coming
back from school drop off, and.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
She said, I've seen it, so you definitely now saw
that I need it.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You're coming home with me, all right?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Final question, how country are you? Why did you have
to alter a perfectly good outfit?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It got to b What do you mean I've lost
so much white since I've had kids, saying that's what
I usually.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, So what was the outfit and what did it
go from? And what did you turn it into?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Address would turn into a shirt? You just tat and.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Look at you so resourceful?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yes, I love it.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Nicely done today nine point three for you.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
We've got tickets to Jason Alden this Friday Cocola Amphitheater.
You'll be there.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Awesome. Thank y'all.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Have you ever cracked a screen on your phone?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Oh yeah, I think everybody has right.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Happened to me this weekend and it ruined my day.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, yeah, I mean, we rely so heavily on our
phones that yeah, that would do it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, I know. But like when you crack a screen,
do you just let it ride until you get a
new phone or are you like me where you have
this debilitating moment where you're like, I have to get
this fixed because it drives you crazy. My ADHD was
popping like crazy this weekend.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, my OCD wouldn't let me keep it how it is.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
But I know people that just whether it fazes them
or not, they've gone a long time with the screen being.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Cracked, specifically kids whose.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Parents are trying to teach them a lesson and it's like, no,
we're not going to go just like pay for this.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Either you pay for it or you sit with it.
And yeah, I think the most frustrating.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Part for me is we pay so much money for
these phones, and I think a lot of times we
forget how expensive these phones are because a lot of
times you pay like a monthly you know fee towards
it or you know whatever. You don't realize they're so expensive.
How are they cracking as easy as they are?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And people talk about screen protectors, they'll have one of those.
Those don't always work, you know, sometimes you get one
and you think like, oh, you spent twenty five bucks
on it, that should be strong enough. Nope, it's not.
What ended up happening is I flew to Philadelphia and
when I got onto the plane, I had to like
scoot around somebody to get into my seat. For whatever reason,
he just wouldn't stand up. So I was like, all right, well,
(13:47):
my butt where my phone was in the back pocket,
hit the corner of that seat from nineteen seventy that
probably still had the ash tray in it. And when
I went to get my phone out of my pocket,
I looked down and was a crack and it started
in the side and it went all the way across,
and there were like three really small cracks that went
(14:08):
side to side, and when I swiped my finger up,
it got in the way. Not that it was a problem.
The phone worked perfectly.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Fine, yeah, but I mean eventually you know that that
crack is going to continue to get worse until the
phone is, you know, not working correctly.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I mean you just know that it is, so it's like,
might as well get a ten care of now.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So when I got to Philadelphia, first order of business
was trying to figure out a way where I could
fix this. So there I was on a Friday night,
standing in one of those cracked phone cell phone repair
shops trying to get this fixed. It took an hour
and a half and I got my phone with a
brand new screen.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well that's good.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I mean most of the time in a scenario like this,
I'm the bad person that's like, hey, should I just
get a new phone? Like? You know?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I won't. Actually I didn't think about that and didn't
research that, because I certainly did. But I just have
this hard time believing that there a people who are
out there, and I know they're there. I see this
all the time when we go to shows where you
live with a crack screen, it doesn't bother you. I've
even seen it where people are missing chunks out of
their screen and they still will not go and get
(15:14):
that fixed or get the phone replaced. And I don't
know how anybody does it.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah I don't. I just we're not the same. We
are not the same eight five.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Five graves zero. If you lived with a crack screen
and it doesn't bother you, does this happen to you
a lot?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Oh? Yeah, many times?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
How do you get through the day? Knowing that your
screen is cracked.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
You know, if it.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Works, it works. You know, appearance isn't always my number
one thing, but if it's cracked to a point where
it's not working, I'd probably immediately go fix it because
I work from my phone, so but but yeah, if
it works.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
It works, Sam. This weekend, by the time I landed,
I was on the phone immediately like, do I buy
a new phone? I want to spend one thousand dollars
to do that. I'm not Blair, you know, she's big
money bags over there.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I wish I would big money bags. I just have
that debt charge every month it hits the count.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
But I looked at that phone and I was like,
I got to get this fixed. Three hundred dollars later,
I had a new screen. But then I started to think,
I know people like you, Sam, who operate throughout your
life having cracked screens for more than twenty minutes.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
It's a little bit of anxiety. But you know, I said,
if it works, it works.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I just don't get it. Let's get over to Quinton
this morning A five to five graves zero people who
have cracked screens. How do they do it?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
And normally it's not just cracked, it's like completely busted,
like they've had it for five years and have just
reined over a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Like pieces are missing.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I can't say.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
It's almost like pieces of the screen are like falling off,
like cutting your hand, and it's like, what's happening here?
Speaker 6 (16:52):
They set it down on the table and when they
pick it up, those little shiny pieces up underneath it.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yes, it's I want to grab that person to go
you just need some money? Can I help you with this?
Because I don't know how you can operate in life
that way.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Somebody's got to know somebody, right,
