Speaker 1 (00:00):
And here we go with another episode of Murphy, Sam
and Jody after the show. Main show's done, so here's
a new time after the show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Okay, So with Mother's Day this weekend, we've been talking about,
you know, Mom's Day deeds and all that good stuff.
I have been thinking about my mom, especially this week
because she stopped by our house Murphy and brought chicken
at homemade chicken and dumplings earlier.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
In the week, and they are so good.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Do you know that surprised us and I ate the entire.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Batch of leftovers last night. You know that it's all
gone now.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I grew up eating them, so it's okay. You've only
discovered them since marrying me, Murphy.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
So you well, I've had chicken, I've had chicken and dumplings.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
But hers, oh yeah, and you have actually said.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah, I mean before me, before her, the standard for
me was cracker barrel.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Yeah, but you have said, though, the best ever that
you've ever had.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
They are And I remember something kind of funny. You
taught me the little short cut trick. Although Joe's mom,
Jody's mom won't use the short cut cut trick a
lot because she does real deal of rolling out the dumplings.
But yeah, you cut up canned biscuits, roll them out.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
They're nice and fluffy. They work well. It does, It
does work well in a pinch.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
But anyway, I've been thinking about her, especially the reason
she did that in the first place is because when
we were moving. The day before we were moving, she
invited us to her house to eat, and she made
a big pot of chicken and dumplings. Murphy and I
couldn't go because we were too busy, so the girl
and it's a good.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Thing we didn't.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Apparently our girls went.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
My brother showed up with a friend and ate almost
all the dumplings before my mom realized it. So what
she sent home with us was just such a small
amount that it was like, oh, I didn't even eat
any of it.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
In fact, you know how when you get the rubber
may containers, they are like they stack five. She had
a big one on the bottom, the one big one,
then you have two little bit smaller ones, and then
you have four, and then you have eighteeny ones. Yeah
it was the teeny one. I'm not joking. It literally
was tablespoons back. It wasn't even a full serving, which
is okay. It still was enough to taste and I
(02:00):
enjoyed it, but it was funny and she thought it
was funny too.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah for mom, And she said I felt bad sending that,
but at least you know, Murphy had one serving, and
that's true. And I said, it's okay. You fed our
kids that night. That's wonderful. So I didn't expect her
to call one afternoon, but she did at five o'clock
or she texted me, Hey, how would you like chicken
and dumplins tonight? I'm like, heck yes, because I was
about to take out something frozen.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I don't know what I was going to do.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Didn't ask I was gonna be a full serving this time.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I didn't I would have.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
We ended up having a good visit with her that night,
and just talking with her and visiting with her, I
would realize, you know that one or two things I
want to do for her for Mother's Day, and I
just want to say that I I don't want to
be the kind of person that has the kind of
regret that I well, you know, one day, when she's
(02:50):
no longer here, I wish I would have done this
with her or for her. So I may do something
with her on Saturday when I take my day away,
Murphy and I may go visit her or bring her
a favorite lunch or something like that. I know she'll
be home and I'm thinking about doing something like that.
You know, I lost my dad when I was very young,
(03:12):
and you know, right after he passed away, I remember
I was super overprotective of her. I was a teenager,
so I was like, oh my gosh, I could really
lose a parent. This really did happen. So what if
I lost her? So that's that's part of the reason
I was so overly protective of her, and our relationship
was so flip flopped. I mean I became almost like
the caregiver.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
When you and I first met, you were still kind
of in that moment.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yes, yes, it was no fun for her either, I'm sure.
But I do plan to do something, not just not
just bring her something, but do something with her or
for her, like a deed. You know, we talked about
you and I going over there Sunday and hanging some
pictures for her. I really want to do that.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
If you bring her some something you made, or you
only got to bring her a small amount.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Now, feel me.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It was an honest mistake. That was an honest mistake,
and I just thought i'd ask the room. I know, Sam,
that you plan to do maybe stop buy and bring
your mom chicken fingers? Yeah, Producer, Bailey, is Mother's Day
thing at your house? As I know you're close to
your mother?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Yeah, and I imagine I will go on uh and
take some time with her and probably bring your some food.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Is your dad make him one of his cheesecakes?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
No, you know, oddly enough, he doesn't really make that
for the family as much as he makes it for
other people.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Right ah man, sorry, as we call the best cheesecake ever,
in case you've never heard us reference that before.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So Sam is going to ask it every opportunity of
one being and hope's a second one would also be.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
And just so you know, Bailey, we are other people
related to you.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Okay, not at all.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And knowing your mom probably you're you're grown now, you
don't live at home, you know, she probably would.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Love some time with you. Yeah, so that's cool. Are
you bringing your dog Hank? Oh of course, yes, Yeah,
that's awesome. What about you, Chad? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:02):
In the spirit of your Mom's Day deeds. I've been
thinking of that because a couple gift ideas I've been reducing.
I've been trying to eliminate the things that I know
aren't going to work in terms of like gifts and whatnot.
So I've been trying to figure out pretty much all
week what am.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I doing for her?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
You know her?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
What is she like? I mean, I'll help you if you.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I know, she doesn't lose things very often. I had
the idea of a tile, and then I was like, no,
that's that's a better gift for my dad. I'll save
that for Dad's Day. She already got taken out to eat.
The tradition for my mom for Mom's Day dinner is
always the week before do it because then it's always
really busy and packed in the restaurants on Mother's Day weekend.
(05:43):
So she always does it the week before my dad did.
That's cool, yeah, so but it's something I can't do.
I know that my parents are working on like an
outdoor project right now. They're trimming back some azalea bushes
around their house, So I was thinking if I could
help with that. It's very difficult to help my parents
with projects because they want to do it all by themselves,
like that's their thing. But if I could help her
(06:06):
do that, or like maybe something around the house while
she's working on that smart something like that. I know
I'm going to do some sort of deed for my mom.
I'm still trying.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Does she like fresh flowers?
Speaker 6 (06:15):
She does, and my dad always does.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Okay, well you could also double it up, gotcha.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Yeah, I'll coordinate with my dad. That's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I like that too, Just anything, you know, if she's
not expecting it, that's nice. It's great for traditions, but
something nice. You know Mom's she probably doesn't need anything specifically,
and a shop for her would be difficult for you
to do something for her. Yeah, that's the thought.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I'm probably gonna call my dad on Mother's Day since
my mom's not with us any more, unfortunately, you know,
she's been gone for a couple of years. But but
if we're always gonna want to be, like we said
earlier in the show, telling stories about her. When you
mentioned about kind of season, the moment of spending time,
because I know it sounds cheesy, but it's the truth.
Time is really the best gift because it's the gift
(07:01):
that they receive.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And you receive.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You just don't realize that until it's late, when you
experienced that loss. And you know what's weird for me?
I mean, I guess I'm fortunate because life gets busy
and I hadn't actually seen my mom for two weeks.
I had spoken with her the week before she passed,
but I hadn't actually seen her in about two weeks.
And actually it was a fun visit because it was
(07:24):
the first time i'd brought that drone over that Jodie
gave me.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Oh, you know, and your mom is the kind of
person who thought that was cool, and.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
She thought that was cool watching that thing going up
and playing the video back and all that. And that
actually also turns out to be the last video ever
shot of my mom when she was still still with us,
So you know, so, yes, you're right, Jody, every moment
you really should spend it doesn't have to be fancy.
It's just doing that because neither of you will regret.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
It, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I feel also, you know, when my dad passed, I
was still a child. I was sixteen years old, and
so I didn't have the benefit of that adult relationship
with him. He never me as an adult and I
never got to experience a dad as an adult, and
I have had that with my mother, you know. And
so I want to go spend time with her, and
(08:11):
because I know she's not going to be around forever.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Even though you think she is. Anyway, it really, really
really is true.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
If you're racking your brain for something to give her,
you know, and you know it's not. She probably doesn't
want a thing unless she's told you I need this,
please buy this.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
You know you know her.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
The perfect gift is in your brain. If you know
your mom. The perfect gift for your mom, Sam is
for you to show up at her door and bring
her chicken fingers. And as random as that seems, that's
what love is, knowing somebody and knowing what to do.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
For when she opens the door, what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah? Well that's just her way. That's her way of saying, oh,
I'm happy to see you.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Just remember that.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Remember that missed any part of the show. It All
