Speaker 1 (00:00):
Blair. When you were in Las Vegas for the Kenny
Chesney Show, did you notice the growing trend in merchandise
sales before shows?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yes, it was definitely something I was grateful for in
the end because I didn't have to carry the merch
into the show and keep up with it during the
show and all that kind of thing. But I definitely
think this is something we're going to start seeing in
all shows, not just the bigger residency shows.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
So what's ended up happening in merch sales for those
that don't know, and we're getting ready to really get
into full blown concert season, is you're starting to see
a lot of artists and a lot of venues selling
merch outside the stadium or the venue walls to give
you an opportunity to buy what you want and then
bring it back to your vehicle so you don't have
to lug it around. This actually happened at the Masters,
(00:43):
and I thought it was the greatest thing in the world.
We got to go in, do all our shopping, go
back to the car, leave it, and then go back
into the venue. How did they do it with the
Kenny Chesney Show.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
They had a fan experience that was open to the public,
completely free to go in and just like check out
some of the behind the scenes kind of stuff they've
ben have, like a little area where they set up
kind of what he calls his vibe room where he
hangs out in and then they had a total store
front for the merch, so it was this stuff was
on hangers, it was spread out just like a store
(01:14):
would be, so you're not walking up saying, hey, I
want number twenty three in size small, like you're able
to kind of hold up and look at things. And
I think it's a genius move. Again, I've seen this
at a lot of other shows. I spend more money
being able to look around and browse, and I know
that I'm not the only one, and knowing that again
I'm not gonna have to carry this in and keep
(01:35):
up with it during the show. I was able to
take it back to our hotel room. I bought more
and went back multiple times.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I started seeing this at the tail end of last
year's concert season, and I'm starting to notice it a
lot more now. So it seems to be the growing trend.
If you get to go to a show, you not
only get to shop. Sometimes outside the venue walls. Pop
ups are becoming a really big thing. I know that
was happening with Taylor Swift in the Airs tour, Oh
for sure. So there's plenty of opportunities for you to
(02:01):
get all your merchandise and not have to drag it
around with you everywhere you go, giving you all the
warm fuzzies and whatnot. It's the good good on the
Spencer Grave Show. Turning sixteen, getting your driver's license is
something every teenager thinks about. Well, you don't think about
doing it without your father. That's exactly what happened to
(02:22):
one teenage girl after her dad, Kuwaddi Sharim was killed
while protecting our freedoms fighting for the United States. He
left behind a wife, a daughter, and a two thousand
and three Chevy Trailblazer. Well, the community knew that she
was going to start driving. They want to make sure
that that car was safe and up to the standards
of today. That's when local businesses and people who live
(02:45):
in Colleen, Texas jumped in. Now, the daughter had no
idea that this was happening until the community surprised her
with her dad's two thousand and three Chevy Trailblazer, completely
restored and back in working condition. I love that story
about just how much community does matter to raising kids. Well,
(03:07):
fun fact about the three of us in the room
right now, we're all spelling Bee champions. I was a
two time spelling Bee champion. Blair did it once, won once,
then quickly baby, and then you have Dino who works
every once in a while. He was a spelling Bee
champion in the state of Minnesota, which.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
By the way, is one of the top states when
it comes to education. Okay, sorry Blair.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The word that he had to spell was Minnesota, and
that was how he got Can you spell Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Am I N N E Sota Minnesota?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
That's an easy one. Try Mississippi.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
She's probably seen Kenny Chesney at US Bank State in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
That's why I have so wait a minute. What was
the word that you lost because you made it all
the way to the regionals.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
D Yeah, the Midwest Regionals in ninety one, I think
I was. I was nine years old, yeah, nine and
construction in Omaha. The word construction, so when I pass
the site now I shut her. It's it's a traumatony.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
How do you spell it? C? O N s T
r U C T I O N.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Nicely done, but you get to write it down on
the actual official.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Spell literally cheating. That's literally cheating, Blair.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
The word that you used and you won.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Paleontologist. Okay, it's a little bit of a difference.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You wanted you to be.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
He had high hopes.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Do you know why don't you try paleontologists? Did I
write it down? Yes, fine, that's fine. He can't write
it down.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
This is ridiculous, Blair.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
While I'm writing it down, use it in a sentence.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Blair was going to be a paleontologist when she grew up,
but she was scared of dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, that would be a reason why you couldn't go
into that. I think there's two os.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
So I'm gonna go p A L E O N
T O L you're out, Okay, go ahead and spell it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
She already said I didn't get it wrong. Okay, Blair,
spell it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
P A L E N oh and T O L
O G I S T.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
There's that's actually wrong. Well, there's two o's. There's three o's. Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
P A L E N O N T O L
O G I S T.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Get ready, I'm gonna break your heart. Okay, palaeontologist pleontologist
is p A l e O and.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Well you know you can't be already, so just back off.
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
In real life. You had to spell it once and
you knocked it out of the park. Then who cares
if you don't spell it right any other time? All right,
we are going to put Dino and Blair in a
spelling bee against each other. These are actually the words
that are the hardest to spell in the English language.
They're the top ten most misspelled words. Who wants to
(05:47):
go first? Let's go with Blair women first.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Gorgeous g O R G e O U S gorgeous.
Speaker 5 (05:56):

It's how country are you? On the Spencer Grave Show, Nikki?
Where are you from? Let's go little elkmont action on
a scale of one to country. How country are you?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
No, I think I'm pretty country. We heard it in
that accident.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I mean, do you have a reason why you think
your country? I mean, we've heard your accent, But what's
the real big deal?
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Oh? I like to funt and fish.

You like to fish bass, crappie, bluegill? What are we
talking about? Crappy? Okay? All right? Well, let's ask you

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Solid? Question number two? What would your mom say when
you were really in trouble? And we're not talking about
using all three names, We're talking about what would she say?
Get all right? We lost Phil Robertson recently. He was
(08:52):
from Duck Dynasty. I think all of us are feeling
saddened for the Robertson family and anybody who is a
fan of that show. They were known for duck calls
using your mouth? Can you give us your best duck call?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
My favorite thing is but having to start it? I'll
tell you where do we start?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Let's try one. Let's try one more duck call. I
want to give you a valiant effort.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's the pause beforehand where you're trying so hard not
bad today.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You're a seven point six in our book. Awesome, Thank you, Blair.
If you could go back to your childhood home, take
one thing that's physically attached to the house and keep it,
what would it be? Eight five five graves zero?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
You know those growth charts that people do, oh.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Or they put them on the wall or the doorframe
and you keep track of the kids.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
We never did anything like that, but I wish we
would have, and I wish that's something I could have
taken from my childhood.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I've got a friend of mine from high school. Her
name's Jess Chatt, and she's a wonderful human beings on
Facebook the other day that she's trying to figure out
how to take the wall that they've measured their kids'
heights from what age Jess probably three, three, all the
way up to teenagers now and they have all of it.
And I think there's three kids if I'm looking at
the marks.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
So they're moving to a new house and Blair, they're
trying to figure out how they can take that portion
of the wall. I told them you're probably gonna have
some light drywall to do anyway, some minor repairs, So
just pay somebody to come in cut that No, no, no,
I'm saying. I'm saying, like, you'll have some minor repairs,
so just call somebody to come in cut that portion
out and then just put a new patch in there.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You know, you could always do the let me get
a piece of wood cut and try to like move
them over, but it's not the same.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I don't like that because then you're recreating the actual memory.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Right.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
My thing is is that we're having somebody come paint
and do like the drywall fixing all of that. But
I don't want to make a bigger mess than it
already is.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So it's like, what do I do make a mess?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I think you make the mess.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I really do, and I'm a person that does it
like mess Okay, Like I would be the one that's
like sitting there by the drywall.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
People like, okay, let me just sweep that up.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
But I think the alternative is, you know, losing those
memories and and you know, I just think you almost
have to do it, especially since these are your babies.
I don't have any tiny humans of my own, but
I would be panicking even like for my tiny humans
that I love that aren't necessarily mine.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
So I think you just got to make the mess. Jess.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Jess, I grew up with you. I know that you're
a very emotional human being. Let's be real. The minute
that painter comes in and even gets paint close to
those lines, you're gonna go into a full blown show.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
You're gonna be on Well, oh, I'm.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Gonna shut down like I am just like even thinking
about it, I'm like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So what you do is you ask that person seen
with the drywall, or if you don't trust anybody doing
it themselves, you get yoursel phoned a little saw okay
it's easy to do, or a dremel you cut out
the line and then you have them pull that board off.
That way you can get that piece of the wall,
have them put a new piece in, and then drywall
mud and paint.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
You know, I guess my drywall mudn't do it myself.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Well let's I mean, let's let the pros handle somebody.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, I mean, you know again, it's creating more memories
if she does it herself.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So time for that.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Are you pass the inspection phase? Have we already gone
through that? We are not.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
We are not there yet.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
What am I saying about you doing? Get your husband Chris.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
To do it?
Speaker 7 (12:43):
He no, he is my ADHD. He is totally against
me doing any more projects.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, all right, so this is what happens. This is
what happens. We don't trust the men with projects like this. Okay,
we do it ourselves. We ask for giveness later. We
just do take the mess, Jess.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
He's already telling you.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Maybe there's people that are listening to the Spencer Grave
show right now, A five to five grave zero who
have gone through this same exact thing that Jess is
going through. Who actually takes that growth chart that you
put on the wall or the doorframe? Who actually took
that to a new house? A five to five grave zero? Jess?
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
All right?
Speaker 8 (13:24):
Bye, guys, what's going on for your friend? If she
can't take the wall, why not take a picture of
the wall and frame it? Yeah? You could frame it, yeah,
and then she could take like individual pictures of each
child and they could take that to their hall one day.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
All right, we got miss hobby Lobby on the offie.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yes, help me to hobby Lobby to get all the frames.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
All right. So you're saying, don't even do the construction
and take down the wall, just snap a couple of pictures.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
He's saying, if you can't do the construction.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
If you can't, and and where are you going to
put the wall?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Uh? Where you would put another wall? Yeah, I mean
just cut that one.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Out, you know, you know, so if you have a
spot in your new home that you're going to put
this wall up. But I just thought another good option
would be take a picture of it and you can
have it in your home, and then you can do
each individual child's growth and put that in a frame,
and then they can have it in their home and
maybe put it in their baby's nursery one day or something.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Angel, Well, I love that idea. I still feel that
the real sentimental value is having that physical piece of
the wall.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Though, Yeah, it's time to do the construction, make the.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Next let's yep yep.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well, thank you, Angel, have a great Dan. Thanks for
being a part of the Spencer Grave Show. We appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
I love listening to you, guys.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh, thank you. Everybody that listens to The Spencer Grave
Show knows that Blair likes to travel a lot with
her husband, Steve. They also know that Blair is type A,
loves to pack, loves to pack individually, like literally makes
everything in her suitcase, puts him into individual bags or
compartment called packing cues those things, and she gets so
(15:10):
miffed with her husband because he just grabs a bag,
throws a couple of things in there, and he's good
to go, Like, dudes.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Are It's chaotic. It stresses me out, even being medicated
with my ADHD Now I can't handle it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But you have, You've tricked.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Now.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I have took matters into my own hands.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
And I planned this all day long yesterday because I
was like, this is how I'm going to do it.
We're getting ready for a beach trip and I'm thinking,
how can I get this man to pack? So I
knew when he was coming home. I met him in
the driveway and I was like, how is your day?
And I did all the whatever, and I said, hey,
I was thinking maybe we could just pad just your
(15:52):
swim trunks, like go.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Ahead and get that taken care of. And he was like, okay, yeah,
we can do that. We can do that.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
So we're in there and he's getting everything out and
I'm rolling them because you know, you got to roll
the clothes to put him in the packing cubes.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
To right, you have to sure.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Correct yes, yes, yes, yes. And then when that was done,
I was like, we could probably just go ahead and
pack like your workout clothes that we're gonna need while
we're there.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
So you basically held his hand through the entire process.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yes, but guess what, he's totally packed.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Totally back. But does he think that he's not totally packed?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yes, he doesn't even realize it, which is the best
part about it. Because I'm sitting there and I had
like a little in my notes app on my phone.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I was like, Okay, we got this.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You know, got the underweark got the sucks, got everything
he could possibly need. And he literally I heard him
tell his brother on the phone, Yeah, I gotta finish packing,
like I just throw some swim ch So what's going.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
To happen with your type a personality when he comes
to you the day before the trip and says, I
need to add some stuff to my suitcase.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Absolutely not, there's a washing machine and a dryer where
we're going.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Absolutely not. We're good to go. He marked my list.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Maybe that's the life hack for anybody who's in a
relationship with somebody who hates packing. Because I'm the same
way as Steve. I wait until the morning of I
throw a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
In there to learn how to trick you.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You shoot, yeah, good luck. He's the one that's carrying
my underwyer around trying to get in the bag. Blair.
Do you think wives do this more where they trick
their husband or their kids or their family into doing
things that they need him to do.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
You know, I think they do. I just think I'm
late to the game, Like you.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Did your way of tricking him, right, But like I've
heard parents and things that they do to trick their
kids to eat vegetables.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Okay, yeah, I do that all the time with the
tiny heat.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You see what I'm saying, Like, I feel like there
is a manipulation that happens and it's harmless, like you're
just trying to get it done. But I would love
to find out what those things are. How do you
trick your kids, how do you trick your husband? How
do you trick your.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Family about husband? This could be fun.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Five to five graves zero. So the other day it
was the American Music Awards, the AMAS Megan Moroon and
Shaboozi represented country music. When they were on stage and
they were going through a list of country artists and
Megan Maroney was talking about June Carter Cash and she
talked about the Carter family and how they were instrumental
for basically starting country music. So what she said was
(18:16):
the Carter family who started country music. Shaboozi had this
weird look on his face. I think he thought she
was talking about Beyonce.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I think so too, because he kind of had like
a chuckle, you know, and then like went on to
reading the teleprompter. Do we know if he's spoken about
this since, Like he hasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Said anything but right, you can't be in country music
and not know about the Carter family.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
If you are in country music, I don't know about
the Carter family. Can you see your way out? It
was please see your way out,
