Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, let me give you your big intro because
I spent a lot of time writing this thing up.
You're ready, Okay, go ahead, here you go. Wait fourteen
number ones. A member of the Grand Ole Opry and
someone with a cafeteria named after them. The only bad
thing about him is that he's a Cowboys fan, Ladies
and gentlemen, Chris Young.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Okay, so I will give you one thing since you
spent a lot of time on that intro, and that
is a fantastic one.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Unfortunately, like being a Cowboys fan is a little.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Rep in this year, right, didn't you guys just say
the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well we lost to the Panthers for a last second
field goal, and everybody's like, oh man, if only Dak
had done more. I'm like, dude, Dak is out of
like a one twenty plus passer rating the last three games.
He's throwing like I think ten touchdowns and no interceptions
over the last three games. Like, it's not Dak. I
(00:57):
promise you it's not, Chris Young. Cafe at MTSU is
not a cafeteria.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
No, it's it's an actual event space. But it used
to be called the it was like the Internet cafe
or whatever, and so I just kept that as a
nod where it's like, you know, if you know, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
So it's not a place where they sell chicken nuggets.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
No, no, it is. It is a place for people
to go film and work on their videography.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And play music, you know, be crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Music and do all that stuff. Yeah, like it, like it.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Although I mean, I gotta say, if I had a
cafeteria named after me, I think I'd be pretty bumped
about that, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I mean, maybe we should start selling some chicken nuggets
in there, I guess.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Ladies and gentlemen. Chris Young, best of luck to your cowboys.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Rest of the way, okay, man, I will say October seventeenth,
I didn't come here to leave new album. Everybody go
check that out.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Let's do it. Brand new album out from Chris Young.
Thank you. Have an awesome day, all right, thank you.
Chris Young is gonna headline Boo Bash for us, so
you can buy your tickets. Just go to the station's
website right now. All that benefits Saint Jude giving you
all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the good good
on the Spencer Grave show. Are you somebody that spends
(02:16):
a lot of time looking at your GPS or are
you pretty trusting in your own navigational skills?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I would say, as long as I'm staying around like
my area, I'm good. If I vnched around, I'm gonna
have to rely on the GPS.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
There was an elderly woman who was following her GPS
and it led her the wrong way. Apparently she went
down a boat ramp and ended up putting her car
in a lake. But she was happy that there were
three fishermen that were there, two brothers and a buddy
of theirs. They acted really quickly. They went into the water.
They were able to secure to this elderly woman get
(02:50):
her out of the car. They ended up calling nine
to one one just to make sure that she was okay.
But she's gonna be fine. The car a little water logged.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Did she mention that she found these men attractive? Like?
Did she kind of start this on purpose?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But then it like escalated quickly?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Okay, I just had to ask.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I just had to ask. Congratulations, Blair, you faced your
fear recently.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I know I did. After five or six years, I
have wanted to do laser hair removal for five or
six years, and truth be told, the only thing holding
me back was the fear of like how painful it
could be, or like what happens if something goes wrong
or you know, something along those lines, and thankfully shout
(03:36):
out revive clinic. They kind of stayed on me after
they realized I was, you know, wanting this done. They're like,
what's the worst that could happen?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
They're like, I mean, seriously.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
We're telling you it's not that painful, And they were right,
it wasn't bad at all. And now I'm pumped. I'm like,
I know I'm supposed to wait thirty days, but could
I just like come back in tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Said things could go wrong? You're losing hair for laser
hair removal. What would go wrong that you would turn
into teen wolf? Like it would have the opposite effect
on you.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
The way I was reacting to them over getting this done,
I genuinely think that's what they thought I was thinking of,
Like Blair Lank, This isn't like people get this done
every day. I don't understand. And what's even funnier is,
as I'm laying there, you know, I have two small tattoos,
and they're like, you have tattoos and you were scared
to come have this done. Yeah, but it was great,
(04:29):
And honestly, it was crazy to me that it took
for the actual treatment less than six minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Have they not met Blair, who tends to overthink decisions that.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
She makes me have?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
They have?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
And so what's funny is while I'm in there, I'm
asking all of these questions and Terry is a sweetheart,
and so she was answering all my questions. But it
literally took her longer to like calm me down than
the actual treatment.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm the worst person to talk to you about this
because the things that scare most people, I'm like, let's
do it. I got scuba certified just so I could
go dive with great white sharks. I've jumped out of
a plane and gone skydiving twice. I've jumped off of
bridges into water that I didn't know if it was
really that deep below because I saw somebody else do
(05:19):
it me and adrenaline junkie stuff. I love it.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
This is probably silly to some people, but I was
genuinely scared, like I've wanted it done for years. Steve
has even been like if you want to go, do it,
like I don't understand why this is holding you back,
or it could be something as big as swimming with
great white sharks. I can't even say that.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Without that, would you say it was a paralyzing fear though,
like you were you were so fearful of this where
you were like, I'm not going to go in because
I guess I do have a fear of that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I guess my paralyzing fear is commitment. Yeah right, And
I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Like one of our very very good friends owns revived
clinic and he kept saying Blair, like I've had this done,
like just go have it. I was terrified. And the
thing is this clinic is in my gym, so I
passed them every single day, so it's like they're seeing
it all the time, knowing that I'm wanting this done,
(06:12):
and I just won't walk in there and have it done.
But I did it.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Session one is done. Y'all should lay it on us.
What is the thing you've always wanted to do? Maybe
you've never even talked about it with other people, You've
just thought about it, but you're so fearful that it
could go wrong, or it's not something that you're really
going to enjoy. You're just worried about doing it, but
you still want to eight five five Graves zero. This
morning we were talking about Blair. She got some laser
(06:35):
hair removal, but she was really fearful about.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Doing it, even though I had always been very intrigued
by it. I just I'm a person that likes to
know what I'm walking into. I don't like surprises, and
that's exactly what this is like.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Surprise. This is what it's gonna feel like.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Surprise is how long it's going to take. I mean,
I knew just enough about having it done to be
a little dangerous and.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It might not be a medical thing. But you've always
thought about doing something, but you're fearful of it. I
know some people that are like, man, I would love
to jump on an airplane go for a flight, but
they're scared of flying. I hear it all the time.
They're like, yeah, what if it's the pilot's time. They
all say that, but it could be just something else.
Good morning, Christy, Thanks for calling a five five Grave zero.
(07:19):
Share with us.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
So I dropped out of high school so I never
graduated high school and I definitely didn't think I could
go to college. So I graduate in December with a
master's degree.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
WHOA, yes, yes, wow.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
How long after you dropped out of high school did
you get your ged?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
About three years? You know, I definitely didn't think I
could do college. I was like, I'm not smart enough.
And so I went through a divorce about six years
ago and met a man who was real supportive, and
I applied to JSU and got accepted and I got
my bachelor's degree. And then I was like, you know,
(08:03):
grad school is only a year. Oh, and I graduated
magna cum Lottie nice.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
What's going to be on your degree?
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Social work?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Awesome? And do you already work in that industry or
are you really going to go after it once you
do graduate.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
I've been in a hospital for twenty four years. This
is a total change. I'm starting over.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Love it, Christy. That's so amazing. What's a piece of
advice that you'd want to give people about starting even
after you think you should?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
I mean, do it even if you're scared.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Such good advice, Christy. Thank you have an awesome day
and congrats Hey all to thank you, I feel that
I'm doing the right thing with Halloween, although some neighbors
of mine disagree. What have you done now? I went
and actually got bags of candy to hand out for Halloween,
and apparently I'm wrong for doing that.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So there's a new trend that's out there, Apparently it's
already hit my neighborhood where you don't just give out
candy because so many kids have food allergies and it's
a real crapshoe to whether or not they're going to
be able to take the candy, so you give out
non candy items. And supposedly, since I'm always late to
the game when it comes to holidays, I was supposed
(09:23):
to be one of the families or one of the
homes that picked up non food items, but no one
told me.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That I am going to stand on something here, And
I hope this doesn't ruffle feathers.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
We don't need to get away.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
From handing out candy at Halloween. If your child has,
you know, allergies, or there's a concern in any any
way possible of them getting candy, I think that falls
on the parents to make sure that they don't have
that like in their bucket later on that night, like
the parents can go through it or you know, the
(09:59):
un fortunate option would be that your child doesn't participate
in trigger trading. If it's so much of it they
can't have that it's overwhelming. But I don't think I mean,
it's trigger treating. You're supposed to trick or treat for candy.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
But isn't that the reason that we give out individually
wrapped candies, Like I'm not making homemade stuff and handing
it out. These are things that if your kids aren't
supposed to have it, you go through it, and then
you decide what they're allowed to have and what they're
not allowed to have. Is it up to the homeowner
to have to make that decision? I mean, I don't
think so.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I don't think it's the responsibility of the homeowner. I
genuinely don't, And I think that like also, I mean,
you don't live in an hoa.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You can hand out whatever you want. No, I do
live in an HOI. Oh, you better be reading that
fond print. Then that is the thing though, right, Like,
I feel like I'm sticking to the traditional values of Halloween.
You go up to a door, you knock, you say
trick or tree, that person gives you gobs or handfuls
(11:04):
of candy and that's it, and then your parents go
through it when they get home and they say, oh,
you know that was the parent tax. I feel like
I'm doing the right thing.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
This is wild to me because I haven't heard about this,
and I would be disappointed if I was a kid
and I came and knocked on your door and you're like,
here's a slinky happens.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And it's been happening for years. A lot of people
end up with weird things in their trick or treat baskets.
Eight five Graves zero. This morning on the Spencer Grave Show,
we're talking about how I made a seventy five dollars mistake,
but I'm not gonna change. Apparently I was on the
list of having to supply items that are non candy
(11:43):
related for Halloween for kids that may have food allergies,
and we want to ask you, is that right? Or
should I stick by my guns and just put out
candy like I bought? Eight five five Grave zero. Good morning, Jennifer,
how are you hi?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Good?
Speaker 8 (11:59):
So this is my problem with the non candy stuff.
So I have a Latex allergy and the fentanyl and
all this other stuff that's going around. How are you
supposed to know what these non food products are and
where they came from and what's in them? So are
you are you helping your child by giving them something
that might have something else in it that's just as
(12:19):
dangerous as their allergy.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Hang on, let me go to Amazon and cancel the
Latex gloves that I was going to give away as
a non candy item. I mean, who doesn't like blowing
those up to make them look like a chicken?
Speaker 8 (12:33):
Exactly? Well, you have those things that sticks to the
wall which damage your walls.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You have bouncy balls.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
That can you know, there's all kinds of things that
people can give you that is going to be worse
than the allergy that you can find out by not
having the candy given to them. I mean, what is
it Catch twenty two? Like Stay with the Devil? You know?
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Hey, I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I like how you think honestly, Jennifer, thank you very
much for calling us a wonderful day.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Good morning, Michelle, Good morning.
Speaker 9 (13:05):
I think you'll have some Halloween Nazis in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
That's one way to put it.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Yeah, it's Halloween. Kids made candy.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I get it, and I understand where they're coming from.
And I think it's because we have one family that
moved into the neighborhood not too long ago, and their
children all battle with food allergies. So I think it
was a way to kind of make them feel comfortable.
But part of me feels like, well, then the best
way to handle that is to have a bag made
set aside just for them. But then I said that
(13:36):
to a friend of mine. You know what they said
to me, Michelle, They go, how do you know? What's
those kids?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Then?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
With them, I don't know if they go up to
the door. When I was a kid, my parents sat
in the car and waited for us to do the
dirty work.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Doesn't that fall on the parent's responsibility to like, if
your child has certain restrictions, that's your job to make
sure they're not getting that, not your neighbor who's just
trying to hand out candy.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
That's correct. And you always had like the parent tax
and you had to look through the candy.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Like correct the parent has It's so important.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I am hearing that Michelle wants the kids to get
candy because she needs her snickers to be accounted for
at the end of the night. Of course.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Well it is good to hear though from a parent,
since Spencer and I are not you know, we don't
have little ones at the house because it's like, Okay,
maybe we're not seeing or we're not thinking about this
all the way through. But as a parent, you're saying no,
like this is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
It is.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
I mean, you always get stuff in there you're not
going to eat, or your kids or your parents aren't
gonna eat. But there's always stuff in there everybody loves. Yeah,
there might be a few things you can't eat, but
there's more into bad and normally most kids get a
huge bag anyway that that's going to rot their teeth
out and they're going to have half of it left
over at Eastern.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So let me take care of that, right, Michelle.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
Right, try to do your part.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You're just trying to do your part. That's all this
it is.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I mean, if worse comes to worse, I'll just eat
the candy myself.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Blair, No, I thought you were on a fitness journey
and going to the gym. You can't be eating the game.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I am on a fitness journey. I'm trying to fitness
all these snickers into my mouth. The conversation that we
were having on the show this morning is that I
spent seventy five bucks on a bunch of candy. I
feel like that's what kids want on Halloween. I don't
want to be the house is known as giving away notepads,
but apparently our neighborhood wants some homes to give away
(15:28):
non food items and I might have been one of
those homes, but I'm standing against it. Eight five five
graves zero.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Not only are kids kind of expecting the candy, but
part of the fun of it is if you have siblings,
you go home and you jump out your bag and
start trading things. So if you do have a kid
with allergies, they can just kind of swap it out
with a sibling.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Here's an idea, and this is just a thought, kind
of hair brain. What if your kid had an allergy
and it's a very small number compared it's getting bigger, obviously,
But what if you, as a parent, made individual little
treat bags or whatever, and you went up to the
house that you were getting ready to go to and
you said, hey, my son is dressed as Spider Man,
(16:07):
can you hand this to him when he comes to
your house. He's getting ready to walk up that way.
It's not on the homeowner, and your kid has something
that you've already proved and controlled.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
That's a great idea because they get something that they're
able to have, they don't have to be disappointed when
mom and dad take out half a candy bag later.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I just think that, Yeah, I think if it's that
extreme and that big of a deal, like you don't
even want them to have it in your bucket, then
I think you need to ask yourself is it worth
even going trigger trading and still let him dress up?
Y'all could even like just go play outside or something.
You don't have to like totally miss out on Halloween.
(16:47):
But if it is that big of a concern to
you on the trick or treating side of things, that
maybe just set out trigger treating.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You don't want your kids to miss out on trigg
or treating. You just don't want them to get something
that somebody else's purchase that knows nothing about your child,
so you control it.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
That's where the individual wrapped candy is usually the best
idea too, So it's not contaminating the rest of the bag.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Thank you very much for spending the time. Have your
kids already said what they want to be for Halloween?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Oh not yet. We're actually going to go shopping this
week and figure that out.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well. Thank you, We appreciate you, and have a great holiday.
You doo, Ronda, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
I just wanted to comment on the Halloween candy ma'am? Uh?
Can parents just go back to being parents? You are
responsible for your child. The whole world shouldn't have to
conform for a handful of people that have to be
extra careful about things. Just weed out the candy or
whatever they get and be a parent again. That's all
(17:42):
it goes down too. Sorry, guys, but I'm just so similus.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I don't apologize.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I feel the same exact way.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I really do.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I just I think sometimes I feel bad speaking about
it because I'm not a parent, But it's like, yeah,
I feel the act the same way.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
I know it's enough already, you know.
Speaker 8 (18:05):
Enough.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
I love you guys today and this one just got
me started up.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Thank you. I was kind of waiting for uh, Hail
to the Chief to play in the background, like you
were running for public office.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
That's gonna be her next cause she's not ready to
any Well.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Thank you and we appreciate your time. Thanks for calling
us every single day and saying hi. We appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Thank y'all.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Did you hear about the awful flight that the Red
Clay Strays just had no what was going on. They
were going to a festival in Utah. They were on
a private jet. They hit some severe turbulence and it
was crazy. The video on the plane shows bandmates and
band members like gripping the seats trying to hold themselves steady.
But one guy had to lighten the mood a little bit,
(18:52):
so he started playing Leonard Skinnyard on his phone. We
all know Leonard Skynard had a really bad plane crash
that killed couple members of the band. They ended up
landing safely in Salt Lake City before this, but they
were all freaked out. I mean, I've been on some
rough lights. What's the worst rough light you've ever been on?
I need to knock on wood. I'm knocking on wood.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Like for the rest of the day because I've never
experienced bad turbulence. I've never experienced a bad flight. I mean,
you have your little bit of turbulence, but to the
point where like you get off the plane and he
said that was rough light. I've never had that.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
So I was on a flight from New York to
San Diego when we had a medical emergency and we
had two touchdown in Kansas City. That was one. The
other one that was crazy was turbulence and so much
turbulence and so bad player that the oxygen mass came down.
We ended up landing. We didn't have to use them,
(19:52):
but they completely deployed.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Honestly, this is what I should be scared of as
much as we travel, but I'm just not, and people
think I'm crazy for it.
All right, let me give you your big intro because
I spent a lot of time writing this thing up.
You're ready, Okay, go ahead, here you go. Wait fourteen
number ones. A member of the Grand Ole Opry and
someone with a cafeteria named after them. The only bad
thing about him is that he's a Cowboys fan, Ladies
and gentlemen, Chris Young.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Okay, so I will give you one thing since you
spent a lot of time on that intro, and that
is a fantastic one.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Unfortunately, like being a Cowboys fan is a little.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Rep in this year, right, didn't you guys just say
the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well we lost to the Panthers for a last second
field goal, and everybody's like, oh man, if only Dak
had done more. I'm like, dude, Dak is out of
like a one twenty plus passer rating the last three games.
He's throwing like I think ten touchdowns and no interceptions
over the last three games. Like, it's not Dak. I
(00:57):
promise you it's not, Chris Young. Cafe at MTSU is
not a cafeteria.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
No, it's it's an actual event space. But it used
to be called the it was like the Internet cafe
or whatever, and so I just kept that as a
nod where it's like, you know, if you know, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
So it's not a place where they sell chicken nuggets.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
No, no, it is. It is a place for people
to go film and work on their videography.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And play music, you know, be crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Music and do all that stuff. Yeah, like it, like it.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Although I mean, I gotta say, if I had a
cafeteria named after me, I think I'd be pretty bumped
about that, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I mean, maybe we should start selling some chicken nuggets
in there, I guess.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Ladies and gentlemen. Chris Young, best of luck to your cowboys.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Rest of the way, okay, man, I will say October seventeenth,
I didn't come here to leave new album. Everybody go
check that out.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Let's do it. Brand new album out from Chris Young.
Thank you. Have an awesome day, all right, thank you.
Chris Young is gonna headline Boo Bash for us, so
you can buy your tickets. Just go to the station's
website right now. All that benefits Saint Jude giving you
all the warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the good good
on the Spencer Grave show. Are you somebody that spends
(02:16):
a lot of time looking at your GPS or are
you pretty trusting in your own navigational skills?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I would say, as long as I'm staying around like
my area, I'm good. If I vnched around, I'm gonna
have to rely on the GPS.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
There was an elderly woman who was following her GPS
and it led her the wrong way. Apparently she went
down a boat ramp and ended up putting her car
in a lake. But she was happy that there were
three fishermen that were there, two brothers and a buddy
of theirs. They acted really quickly. They went into the water.
They were able to secure to this elderly woman get
(02:50):
her out of the car. They ended up calling nine
to one one just to make sure that she was okay.
But she's gonna be fine. The car a little water logged.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Did she mention that she found these men attractive? Like?
Did she kind of start this on purpose?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But then it like escalated quickly?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Okay, I just had to ask.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I just had to ask. Congratulations, Blair, you faced your
fear recently.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I know I did. After five or six years, I
have wanted to do laser hair removal for five or
six years, and truth be told, the only thing holding
me back was the fear of like how painful it
could be, or like what happens if something goes wrong
or you know, something along those lines, and thankfully shout
(03:36):
out revive clinic. They kind of stayed on me after
they realized I was, you know, wanting this done. They're like,
what's the worst that could happen?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
They're like, I mean, seriously.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
We're telling you it's not that painful, And they were right,
it wasn't bad at all. And now I'm pumped. I'm like,
I know I'm supposed to wait thirty days, but could
I just like come back in tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Said things could go wrong? You're losing hair for laser
hair removal. What would go wrong that you would turn
into teen wolf? Like it would have the opposite effect
on you.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
The way I was reacting to them over getting this done,
I genuinely think that's what they thought I was thinking of,
Like Blair Lank, This isn't like people get this done
every day. I don't understand. And what's even funnier is,
as I'm laying there, you know, I have two small tattoos,
and they're like, you have tattoos and you were scared
to come have this done. Yeah, but it was great,
(04:29):
And honestly, it was crazy to me that it took
for the actual treatment less than six minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Have they not met Blair, who tends to overthink decisions that.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
She makes me have?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
They have?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
And so what's funny is while I'm in there, I'm
asking all of these questions and Terry is a sweetheart,
and so she was answering all my questions. But it
literally took her longer to like calm me down than
the actual treatment.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm the worst person to talk to you about this
because the things that scare most people, I'm like, let's
do it. I got scuba certified just so I could
go dive with great white sharks. I've jumped out of
a plane and gone skydiving twice. I've jumped off of
bridges into water that I didn't know if it was
really that deep below because I saw somebody else do
(05:19):
it me and adrenaline junkie stuff. I love it.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
This is probably silly to some people, but I was
genuinely scared, like I've wanted it done for years. Steve
has even been like if you want to go, do it,
like I don't understand why this is holding you back,
or it could be something as big as swimming with
great white sharks. I can't even say that.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Without that, would you say it was a paralyzing fear though,
like you were you were so fearful of this where
you were like, I'm not going to go in because
I guess I do have a fear of that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I guess my paralyzing fear is commitment. Yeah right, And
I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Like one of our very very good friends owns revived
clinic and he kept saying Blair, like I've had this done,
like just go have it. I was terrified. And the
thing is this clinic is in my gym, so I
passed them every single day, so it's like they're seeing
it all the time, knowing that I'm wanting this done,
(06:12):
and I just won't walk in there and have it done.
But I did it.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Session one is done. Y'all should lay it on us.
What is the thing you've always wanted to do? Maybe
you've never even talked about it with other people, You've
just thought about it, but you're so fearful that it
could go wrong, or it's not something that you're really
going to enjoy. You're just worried about doing it, but
you still want to eight five five Graves zero. This
morning we were talking about Blair. She got some laser
(06:35):
hair removal, but she was really fearful about.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Doing it, even though I had always been very intrigued
by it. I just I'm a person that likes to
know what I'm walking into. I don't like surprises, and
that's exactly what this is like.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Surprise. This is what it's gonna feel like.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Surprise is how long it's going to take. I mean,
I knew just enough about having it done to be
a little dangerous and.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It might not be a medical thing. But you've always
thought about doing something, but you're fearful of it. I
know some people that are like, man, I would love
to jump on an airplane go for a flight, but
they're scared of flying. I hear it all the time.
They're like, yeah, what if it's the pilot's time. They
all say that, but it could be just something else.
Good morning, Christy, Thanks for calling a five five Grave zero.
(07:19):
Share with us.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
So I dropped out of high school so I never
graduated high school and I definitely didn't think I could
go to college. So I graduate in December with a
master's degree.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
WHOA, yes, yes, wow.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
How long after you dropped out of high school did
you get your ged?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
About three years? You know, I definitely didn't think I
could do college. I was like, I'm not smart enough.
And so I went through a divorce about six years
ago and met a man who was real supportive, and
I applied to JSU and got accepted and I got
my bachelor's degree. And then I was like, you know,
(08:03):
grad school is only a year. Oh, and I graduated
magna cum Lottie nice.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
What's going to be on your degree?
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Social work?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Awesome? And do you already work in that industry or
are you really going to go after it once you
do graduate.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
I've been in a hospital for twenty four years. This
is a total change. I'm starting over.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Love it, Christy. That's so amazing. What's a piece of
advice that you'd want to give people about starting even
after you think you should?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
I mean, do it even if you're scared.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Such good advice, Christy. Thank you have an awesome day
and congrats Hey all to thank you, I feel that
I'm doing the right thing with Halloween, although some neighbors
of mine disagree. What have you done now? I went
and actually got bags of candy to hand out for Halloween,
and apparently I'm wrong for doing that.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So there's a new trend that's out there, Apparently it's
already hit my neighborhood where you don't just give out
candy because so many kids have food allergies and it's
a real crapshoe to whether or not they're going to
be able to take the candy, so you give out
non candy items. And supposedly, since I'm always late to
the game when it comes to holidays, I was supposed
(09:23):
to be one of the families or one of the
homes that picked up non food items, but no one
told me.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That I am going to stand on something here, And
I hope this doesn't ruffle feathers.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
We don't need to get away.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
From handing out candy at Halloween. If your child has,
you know, allergies, or there's a concern in any any
way possible of them getting candy, I think that falls
on the parents to make sure that they don't have
that like in their bucket later on that night, like
the parents can go through it or you know, the
(09:59):
un fortunate option would be that your child doesn't participate
in trigger trading. If it's so much of it they
can't have that it's overwhelming. But I don't think I mean,
it's trigger treating. You're supposed to trick or treat for candy.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
But isn't that the reason that we give out individually
wrapped candies, Like I'm not making homemade stuff and handing
it out. These are things that if your kids aren't
supposed to have it, you go through it, and then
you decide what they're allowed to have and what they're
not allowed to have. Is it up to the homeowner
to have to make that decision? I mean, I don't
think so.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I don't think it's the responsibility of the homeowner. I
genuinely don't, And I think that like also, I mean,
you don't live in an hoa.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You can hand out whatever you want. No, I do
live in an HOI. Oh, you better be reading that
fond print. Then that is the thing though, right, Like,
I feel like I'm sticking to the traditional values of Halloween.
You go up to a door, you knock, you say
trick or tree, that person gives you gobs or handfuls
(11:04):
of candy and that's it, and then your parents go
through it when they get home and they say, oh,
you know that was the parent tax. I feel like
I'm doing the right thing.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
This is wild to me because I haven't heard about this,
and I would be disappointed if I was a kid
and I came and knocked on your door and you're like,
here's a slinky happens.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And it's been happening for years. A lot of people
end up with weird things in their trick or treat baskets.
Eight five Graves zero. This morning on the Spencer Grave Show,
we're talking about how I made a seventy five dollars mistake,
but I'm not gonna change. Apparently I was on the
list of having to supply items that are non candy
(11:43):
related for Halloween for kids that may have food allergies,
and we want to ask you, is that right? Or
should I stick by my guns and just put out
candy like I bought? Eight five five Grave zero. Good morning, Jennifer,
how are you hi?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Good?
Speaker 8 (11:59):
So this is my problem with the non candy stuff.
So I have a Latex allergy and the fentanyl and
all this other stuff that's going around. How are you
supposed to know what these non food products are and
where they came from and what's in them? So are
you are you helping your child by giving them something
that might have something else in it that's just as
(12:19):
dangerous as their allergy.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Hang on, let me go to Amazon and cancel the
Latex gloves that I was going to give away as
a non candy item. I mean, who doesn't like blowing
those up to make them look like a chicken?
Speaker 8 (12:33):
Exactly? Well, you have those things that sticks to the
wall which damage your walls.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You have bouncy balls.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
That can you know, there's all kinds of things that
people can give you that is going to be worse
than the allergy that you can find out by not
having the candy given to them. I mean, what is
it Catch twenty two? Like Stay with the Devil? You know?
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Hey, I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I like how you think honestly, Jennifer, thank you very
much for calling us a wonderful day.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Good morning, Michelle, Good morning.
Speaker 9 (13:05):
I think you'll have some Halloween Nazis in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
That's one way to put it.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Yeah, it's Halloween. Kids made candy.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I get it, and I understand where they're coming from.
And I think it's because we have one family that
moved into the neighborhood not too long ago, and their
children all battle with food allergies. So I think it
was a way to kind of make them feel comfortable.
But part of me feels like, well, then the best
way to handle that is to have a bag made
set aside just for them. But then I said that
(13:36):
to a friend of mine. You know what they said
to me, Michelle, They go, how do you know? What's
those kids?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Then?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
With them, I don't know if they go up to
the door. When I was a kid, my parents sat
in the car and waited for us to do the
dirty work.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Doesn't that fall on the parent's responsibility to like, if
your child has certain restrictions, that's your job to make
sure they're not getting that, not your neighbor who's just
trying to hand out candy.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
That's correct. And you always had like the parent tax
and you had to look through the candy.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Like correct the parent has It's so important.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I am hearing that Michelle wants the kids to get
candy because she needs her snickers to be accounted for
at the end of the night. Of course.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Well it is good to hear though from a parent,
since Spencer and I are not you know, we don't
have little ones at the house because it's like, Okay,
maybe we're not seeing or we're not thinking about this
all the way through. But as a parent, you're saying no,
like this is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
It is.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
I mean, you always get stuff in there you're not
going to eat, or your kids or your parents aren't
gonna eat. But there's always stuff in there everybody loves. Yeah,
there might be a few things you can't eat, but
there's more into bad and normally most kids get a
huge bag anyway that that's going to rot their teeth
out and they're going to have half of it left
over at Eastern.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So let me take care of that, right, Michelle.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
Right, try to do your part.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You're just trying to do your part. That's all this
it is.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I mean, if worse comes to worse, I'll just eat
the candy myself.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Blair, No, I thought you were on a fitness journey
and going to the gym. You can't be eating the game.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I am on a fitness journey. I'm trying to fitness
all these snickers into my mouth. The conversation that we
were having on the show this morning is that I
spent seventy five bucks on a bunch of candy. I
feel like that's what kids want on Halloween. I don't
want to be the house is known as giving away notepads,
but apparently our neighborhood wants some homes to give away
(15:28):
non food items and I might have been one of
those homes, but I'm standing against it. Eight five five
graves zero.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Not only are kids kind of expecting the candy, but
part of the fun of it is if you have siblings,
you go home and you jump out your bag and
start trading things. So if you do have a kid
with allergies, they can just kind of swap it out
with a sibling.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Here's an idea, and this is just a thought, kind
of hair brain. What if your kid had an allergy
and it's a very small number compared it's getting bigger, obviously,
But what if you, as a parent, made individual little
treat bags or whatever, and you went up to the
house that you were getting ready to go to and
you said, hey, my son is dressed as Spider Man,
(16:07):
can you hand this to him when he comes to
your house. He's getting ready to walk up that way.
It's not on the homeowner, and your kid has something
that you've already proved and controlled.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
That's a great idea because they get something that they're
able to have, they don't have to be disappointed when
mom and dad take out half a candy bag later.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I just think that, Yeah, I think if it's that
extreme and that big of a deal, like you don't
even want them to have it in your bucket, then
I think you need to ask yourself is it worth
even going trigger trading and still let him dress up?
Y'all could even like just go play outside or something.
You don't have to like totally miss out on Halloween.
(16:47):
But if it is that big of a concern to
you on the trick or treating side of things, that
maybe just set out trigger treating.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You don't want your kids to miss out on trigg
or treating. You just don't want them to get something
that somebody else's purchase that knows nothing about your child,
so you control it.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
That's where the individual wrapped candy is usually the best
idea too, So it's not contaminating the rest of the bag.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Thank you very much for spending the time. Have your
kids already said what they want to be for Halloween?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Oh not yet. We're actually going to go shopping this
week and figure that out.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well. Thank you, We appreciate you, and have a great holiday.
You doo, Ronda, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
I just wanted to comment on the Halloween candy ma'am? Uh?
Can parents just go back to being parents? You are
responsible for your child. The whole world shouldn't have to
conform for a handful of people that have to be
extra careful about things. Just weed out the candy or
whatever they get and be a parent again. That's all
(17:42):
it goes down too. Sorry, guys, but I'm just so similus.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I don't apologize.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I feel the same exact way.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I really do.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I just I think sometimes I feel bad speaking about
it because I'm not a parent, But it's like, yeah,
I feel the act the same way.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
I know it's enough already, you know.
Speaker 8 (18:05):
Enough.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
I love you guys today and this one just got
me started up.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Thank you. I was kind of waiting for uh, Hail
to the Chief to play in the background, like you
were running for public office.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
That's gonna be her next cause she's not ready to
any Well.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Thank you and we appreciate your time. Thanks for calling
us every single day and saying hi. We appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Thank y'all.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Did you hear about the awful flight that the Red
Clay Strays just had no what was going on. They
were going to a festival in Utah. They were on
a private jet. They hit some severe turbulence and it
was crazy. The video on the plane shows bandmates and
band members like gripping the seats trying to hold themselves steady.
But one guy had to lighten the mood a little bit,
(18:52):
so he started playing Leonard Skinnyard on his phone. We
all know Leonard Skynard had a really bad plane crash
that killed couple members of the band. They ended up
landing safely in Salt Lake City before this, but they
were all freaked out. I mean, I've been on some
rough lights. What's the worst rough light you've ever been on?
I need to knock on wood. I'm knocking on wood.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Like for the rest of the day because I've never
experienced bad turbulence. I've never experienced a bad flight. I mean,
you have your little bit of turbulence, but to the
point where like you get off the plane and he
said that was rough light. I've never had that.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
So I was on a flight from New York to
San Diego when we had a medical emergency and we
had two touchdown in Kansas City. That was one. The
other one that was crazy was turbulence and so much
turbulence and so bad player that the oxygen mass came down.
We ended up landing. We didn't have to use them,
(19:52):
but they completely deployed.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Honestly, this is what I should be scared of as
much as we travel, but I'm just not, and people
think I'm crazy for it.
