Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Murphy, Sam and Jody after the show podcast.
Thanks for hanging out with us. You know, as as
you know, Sam, Jody and I are in the process
of getting Taylor, our oldest daughter, her driver's license. She's
been on our permit. Friends. She's doing a great job,
don't you think, Joe.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
She's learning, she's doing better all the time. I think
she'll honestly be better once we're not, you know, in
the car with her like that's my hope.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I mean, I still want to. I still am trying
my best to equip her with You know, it's very
difficult to teach the things that haven't happened yet. Does
that make sense? You know, you have been exposed to it.
So it's sort of like that thing we're talking about
the other day with the hornhonky. She gets really you know,
she's upset by that right now, but she will get
used to it as time goes on. And I'm trying
to think of anything possible to teach defensive driving. It's
(00:44):
not that everybody's an idiot.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Again, but it's that we had to stop saying that's
what I hear.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
But you need to but you need to be prepared
for you know, for any situation. So but I think
it's going to be very difficult. We finally let go
that one day when it's a real license and you know, situation.
But it's also part of the process. And I think
it's actually made me a better driver, no joke. I mean,
I'm paying more attention to what I'm doing. I'm watching
what I'm saying behind the wheel. I think I'm modeling
(01:10):
better than ever I had before. So I mean it's
making me a better driver again.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Like I was taking for granted yesterday, Like I was saying,
it's made me a more patient driver around other people,
thinking wow, this could also be a new driver. You know,
things that she's done. It's like if somebody does that
around me, I'm like going to be well, you know,
maybe it's just someone new who's learning. It's a lot
of new drivers on the road. I don't know what
the percentage is, but there are plenty. There really are plenty.
(01:35):
Producer Chad stepped right up. You want to talk about.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Driving, Yeah, And concerning defensive driving, my parents laid a
really good foundation for me defensively. It took me a
while to come around to it. You know, if there
was a time in which I wasn't as experienced of
a driver and whatnot, but the foundation that they laid
was something I would always think about and sort of
come into my own. But in terms of defensive driving,
(01:58):
I use the horn a lot, which can make people upset,
but I think.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
It is you're the one. I kid, well, you use
it to push people along or hey, the light's green
or is it emergency or what.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
It's only if emergency purposes only? OK, And it'd be
because it's a it's actually a wreck preventative. You know,
if you lay onto your horn before a wreck actually happens,
or when people starts, you know, stopping in front of you.
What it does is it garners attention. So then people
will look up and say, oh, well, something's wrong. Whereas
if you're using it emotionally, that's bad, Yes, that is truly.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's not meant to be an emotional thing.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
So but it's so much fun. Yeah, you don't. You
don't blur your horn as you drive through at every intersection,
absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
The more that you can, you know, the more irresponsibly
you use your horn, it's like crying wolf, you know,
and then people won't pay attention to you. But so
I take a proactive approach to defensive driving. I have
my own mindset about the way things should work and safety.
I've had this ever since I was a kid, and
I actually have a secret driving technique that I've used
(03:00):
ever since I was a kid. Is actually illegal, huh,
And I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So this is something we should not adopt.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Then I'm guessing or it's something that I can't recommend
to anybody, despite the fact that I think it's better.
And the only reason that I admit to it is
because I think that it's a difference of opinion. I
am a bipedlar.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Wow, my grandmother did that, and it's not right yeah feet,
my dad did that, so left foot break and right foot.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
But the concept as to why that it's not safe
is that you should never ever be breaking and accelerating
at the same time. And if you're using both feet,
that becomes a possibility, yes, sureas if you're only using
one foot, you can never accelerate and break at the
same time. There's also periods where you should be doing neither,
where you can just let the vehicle stall. Yeah, And
(03:53):
all those are important concepts to know and when you're
learning to drive. If you don't have a clear mind
of that, then you shouldn't be bipedaling as a kid.
So the story as to why became a bipedlar is
pretty funny. I decided to be a bipedler when I
was about twelve or thirteen years old, before I ever
even started driving. Why did you do it on the
lawnmar It's a story, so I It was because of
(04:16):
an English class and one of my very good friends, Tyler.
We had a project where we were supposed to make
a story with narrative structure beginning, rising, action, conclusion, had
to have a plot right. Well, my friend Tyler failed
the project because he came up with a very creative
idea for a story. His story was based on a
trucker's log. So the idea of the story was like
(04:39):
November sixth, two thousand and six, I look to my
right child, passenger gives me the horn signal, I oblige yeah,
and then the next entrance. So it's going through sort
of like his daily routines as well as his thoughts. Well,
in his thoughts in the story, the trucker describes himself
as being a bipedlar and he says, I don't understand
why people used two feet. You know, I understand the
(05:01):
safety precautions, but it seems to be less efficient. And
he even brought up the point of which is true
that with when you have a stick shift, there are
some if you don't have three in the tree, as
they say, four in the floor, So those people have
to be bi peddlers because you can't.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Right, That's how I learned to drive, and that's the
reason that I don't. It's one of the reasons I
don't buy pedal.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So that's sort of you know, the contrary argument to
the rule is that you know, well there you have
to buy pedal in order to do that, and they're
still able to do it safely, although their right foot
is still maintaining you know, one foot for a break
and accelerate right, But if you have an automatic, you know,
your left foot really isn't doing too much.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, but you're as well put it to good use.
May tell you this your left foot. If you are
like me, you learned with a standard so it was
a serious push on the clutch, okay, but you don't
want to do that serious a push on a break. Yeah,
And I remember the first time I tried that in
a in a an automatic car.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It was like.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Whoa because my left whatever, the action of the left
foot was so pronounced because it had always only been done.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
For the clutch.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I was like, oh, no, easy, does it all right
foot driving?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I can also always tell when there's a bipedlar. I
love that name. By the way, I didn't know that's
what it was called.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
My grandmother did it.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I can always tell when there's a bipedler in front
of me because their brake lights stay on the whole time,
which is kind of that's dangerous because you know what
I mean. Then I don't really know if you're staff
or not.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I have seen that, and I know that I'm not
doing it because I'm very particular about the way that
I do it.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Wow, I see, I just wouldn't have the same kind
of control. I'm a right handed person. I think I'm
a right footed person to do so I have better
control over the vehicle using my right foot. My left
foot is clumsy, and so I wouldn't want to buy
the only time I was actually had a friend who
told me this is also not legal. He told me
that the only reason that you would want to do
the bipedaling thing you're describing if you were a drag racer.
(07:00):
He did that on a strip. Actually it wasn't on
a street. He actually did it on a place. But
you know I didn't. I didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, maybe you know. I don't see that it's needed. No,
not for efficiency, and it's no riving intown.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
You know, it's certainly not necessary. It's just something, like
I said. When I was about twelve thirteen years old,
I heard that and I immediately decided, after I had
my friend Tyler's short story, I am going to be
a bipedler.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And you won't give it up.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Uh So, okay, A couple of things about one the
reason why I decided this is also because I was
a soccer player as a kid, so I have I
have good coordination in my feet. And the other thing
is that when I took my driving test, I did
not buy pedal, you know, for the driving test. The
essentially and to this day, I will from time to
(07:47):
I will not strictly buy pedal. Like if my left
foot gets tired, I'll put it to the side and
I'll drive like everybody else, fold it up and put
it in the back.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Right. I think The moral of this story is we
just need to remember always drive behind Chad never.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Now, I guess it's missed any part of the show.
