Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam & Jody Daily Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Benefits of being alone. Sam, are you excited about this topic?
I came across this online.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
There's no honey-do list.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Is that your top? No.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I do not have to sit and think about my top.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Okay, I want you to think about it to be continued,
but I will say this. More and more people are
happily single today. This year, 2026, than ever reported in
the history of humankind. And I can tell you from
my experience, I've got a lot of friends who are single.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Close friends.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Got some names.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
You know them already. They know you already, too.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And everybody's still single. Nothing's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Big boy.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
But I can say these are girlfriends who really confide
in me, and they are really happy single. One of
them told me this. I am so set and happy
single right now. I'm open to somebody coming into my life,
she said, but you're going to have to beat that.
In other words, if I'm happy, you're going to have
to bring a level, a higher level. You're going to
have to beat how content I am.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, it's taken a long time to get to that
level for me, but yeah. I think I'm happier alone now.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yeah, and that's wonderful for you, and that's wonderful for anyone.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Not that anything that I did before doesn't mean anything less.
It's just I'm at the point now where I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You have your own life, and everybody has their own life,
and I'm sure your exes have feelings about that too.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
So a.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Certain type of person thrives alone, and so people who
enjoy being alone or who are thriving in it say
this is what makes them feel happy.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
This is why. They don't have to compromise. Maybe they
were tired of compromising.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I have another girlfriend who never got married, and she
told me, she was like, Jodi, I just never wanted
anybody else's opinion about what to watch, where to go
on vacation, if I could work, all of that.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I was like, dang.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Oh, my way or the highway. I get it.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
You become more productive in your own life. That's in
the list. You really get to know yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Boy, that's true.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Sit with that a second.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, when you're sitting all alone, it's like, You got
your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
You got your feelings. You got your emotions.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
What's funny is after a stint of you being successfully
solo and thriving, to me, is when you would be
a better partner if someone were to come along, if
you really know yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, that makes total sense to me, you know, because
once you really establish that part and you have your
clear identity of who you are, you will be better
at helping others and not You know, there's a difference
between compromising and, you know, completely sacrificing everything that you
want for someone, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
In which case you'd lose yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Keep on it and you can tell us what else
you like about.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Being so on the way.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Earlier when we were talking about that football player who,
high school football player who found a venomous snake hiding
behind the padding of his helmet after he had worn
it for an hour.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That's insane to me still. That's crazy insane.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Talking about all the places that, you know, snakes hide
and where you... Everybody has a snake encounter.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I don't know if you've ever had a snake hiding incident.
Have you ever had one surprise you, Cody?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yes, but it wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's not the outdoor, oh, my gosh, there's a snake
in my boot situation.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
What, you found one in the toilet? No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
You know this story, unless you just forgot it. My ex,
the person I was with before you, was a biological
sciences major in college, and he was getting his Ph.D.,
and he had snakes everywhere.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
But not all over the place, like mostly.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
They weren't live snakes, though, were they?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Oh, yeah. Oh, they were?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
So one afternoon, I was at his apartment, and he
was not there yet, and I was looking for some
iced tea in the fridge, and I moved some stuff
out of the way.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
The tea was in the back.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I moved some stuff onto the counter to get to
the tea, and by the time I turned around to
pour my tea, what I had moved, it was a bag.
I didn't know what was in it, and it started moving.
He had put a snake in a bag, a snake bag,
in the refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Which keeps them from moving because they go dormant because
they're cold-blooded animals.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
They're cold-blooded. And he explained the same thing to me.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He's like, Jody, of course he's going to start moving
because it was hot out in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
First, you need to tell me you've got a snake
in the fridge.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I just wanted ice tea.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I put that snake back in that refrigerator so fast
because it was big and scary and I thought it
was going to get away from me.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I ought to put him in the freezer.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Anyway, common places that snakes hide, wood and debris piles. Ooh,
that's a big place. They're just looking for protection from heat,
from predators. They're just trying to chillax and feel safe
so they can sleep or whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Tall grass, of course. Dense bushes.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Which is what's happened to me.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And when they do that, that's what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
They're trying to protect themselves. They're not trying to sneak
up on you and hide.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
They actually don't want to be near you, technically.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
No.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Water features like ponds and landscape features. If you have
like a deck or whatever, that's a perfect little place
for them to sliver in.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
We have, you know, the pond in the back of
my house.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
When people put canoes on the or little pedal boats.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You lift it up and there's always a snake under it.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Right. It's a perfect hiding place. Yeah. So beware. Trending now.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Jodi's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
We already know that we're going to get... An Ozzy
Osbourne biopic. I'm going off the rails on a crazy train.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I'm going to warn everybody to be ready. You think
you're going to go in there and rock, and you will.
But when you leave, you're going to be affected emotionally.
This man had an incredible story, and he was a sweetheart. Okay,
so Jack Osbourne, his son, says there is real forward
motion on this biopic. They do have the script done.
(05:53):
They are looking for a director. They do have someone
in mind to play the Prince of Darkness. They're not
allowed to say yet because they're having conversations and no
one's signed on the dotted line. But he did say
if it works out, it's going to be awesome. And
he said that they as a family have made sure
that this biopic will be.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Warts and all. It's not going to be You know,
an artsy biopic that, you know, leaves you feel like, oh,
he was great, which I think you're going to think
he was great. Yeah. But he also had a lot
of work.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
He said it's going to be for the fans, what
the fans want.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
What the Aussie fans would want. So look forward to that.
I have no idea when, but when a script is done,
you know, everything else is falling into place.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
It'll be quick.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Morning pick-me-up time.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I wanted to update everybody on Grandma Droniak from Instagram
and TikTok. She's the 96-year-old grandma who earlier this year,
we thought she was going to get kicked out of
her nursing home for partying too hard.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I pay $ 12, 000 a month.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
To live here.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I can party if I want to.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
My girlfriends are coming over tonight.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
We're going to drink And gossip.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's not a party, but we do get rowdy.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I can't help it. I love to party. You can't
stop me.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
They are here! There was a knock at the door
and they are here.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Okay, so she was posting all this stuff online and
they realized she was keeping other residents up till like
one and two in the morning. And they were all
in her little apartment, her room, her area. And then
they would leave and they would be drunk. She was
she was serving alcohol.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You know, we're only going down the hall.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
She received it still.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
She received a, you know, a letter, a cease and
desist letter from, you know, the place. And you're going
to have to leave if you don't. You're going to
get evicted. And look, she's doing this because, number one,
this is her personality.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
It's who she is.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And she already had a social media following before she,
you know, became a resident here.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
She had started on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And then when TikTok became a thing, her grandson helped
her get on TikTok.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
She's just a comedian, naturally.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Okay, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
But she does really like to party. She's famous for
her funeral advice. Like, rules for her funeral are get drunk. Ugh.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Don't invite so-and-so. Like, she's got rules for her.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
She has posts that say, here's why you should never
trust a man. And it's like her walking with a
walker down the hall. Like, she's worth following. But I
wanted to give everybody the update. She has not been evicted,
and she won't be evicted. She's still paying whatever thousands
of dollars a month to live there. But she and
her attorneys reached a settlement that she can still have
her friends over to her room. They can stay as
(08:45):
long as they want to, 1 o'clock in the morning.
But she cannot serve alcohol anymore.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Oh. So she can drink it herself, but she can't
serve it to other residents.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, can they serve themselves? Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Your morning picked me up. I love to party.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So does she.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Ladies, I found out where all the men are. Now,
I don't know if they're all single, but oh, my gosh.
So let me tell you a story from last night.
I have a new device in my life, a new phone.
And it arrived, and my life has been crazy with
it because it's a new phone, but I didn't have
a case. I didn't have an OtterBox, which is what
we decided I needed, an OtterBox.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
It was so crazy rolling around with that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
For those of us that tend to drop phones, that's
the way to go.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That naked phone made me so nervous for two, three
days until I finally said, you know what? I couldn't
find it at Walmart, the one I wanted, so I
rolled into Best Buy to get it. I walk in there.
It's not my kind of, I mean, I only ever
go in there with Murphy every once in a great while.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Oh, I love it. It's like Disney World.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So guess what?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I had been singing this song in my head all day,
Meghan Trainor's No, which is a favorite song of mine.
That gets stuck in my head all the time.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I have not heard that in a long time.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Time I love that.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Song it gets stuck I sit down I walk in
there I find the Otterboxes and that song starts playing.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Oh, really?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
And I found my Otterbox. I was like, wow.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
And then I look around and I'm getting helped by strangers,
by people who work there.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
It's all men. I'm the only female in the whole place.
And I'm like, this is where all the men are.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
They're at Best Buy looking at electronics, just like Murphy
loves to go to Best Buy.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Any excuse? I have seen Murphy.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Be at home, be ready for bed, be comfortable, and
realize we need something and get dressed and say, I'm
going to Best Buy.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
It's where the men are.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Or when I get a notification that somebody's ready for pickup.
Gotta go, Jody.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
See ya.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I had so much help selecting this one little Otterbox
case from men who worked there and men who were just,
you know, hey, can I help you?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Like, what you looking for? It was so funny.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Then I want you to know the music's still playing.
The playlist in there is really fun. I'm like, this
is where the men are, and the music's great. I
go to the checkout, and I want you to know,
they're like, do you have a phone number with us?
I'm like, of course I don't. I gave them yours.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Good.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And they were like, oh, yeah, we know you.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
He's a gold customer.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Yeah. They were like, oh.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And I said, will this get him points? And he
was like, yeah, it sure will. So I got you
some points.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh, thank you, Jody.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Got my OtterBox public service announcement. That's where the men are.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Follow us on Instagram, even if you don't like the
new way that Instagram is written.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Like the rest of the online world.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh, you mean like the logo and all that stuff?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
They changed it. They pulled a Cracker Barrel this week,
and people aren't loving it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You know what? When I saw that, when I first
saw that, I'm thinking, am I in a fake place?
I thought I was like in a fraudulent place when
I saw it.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Smart Murphy, no.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
There's a lot of pushback online. We'll see if they
go back or stick with it. I'm betting they're going
to stick with it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Well, I have a question for you, Jody, because this
is something that, I thought that we agreed on, and
you decided to change midstream. Sam, you don't know about
this yet.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
No, that sounds good, though.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah. So, Jody went to buy some dog food the
other day. You know, we're doing the whole fresh pet thing.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Because our dogs are older, and we're spoiling. These old dogs.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Have tender teeth, and they deserve fresh food.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
And I agree with that. I mean, I stretched out
the cheap stuff as long as we could go. No,
we never cheaped out on them. It's just they can't
do the kibble, the dry dog food anymore as much. No,
they cannot. So I noticed there was a pretty substantial
price difference between the chicken one and the beef one.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It's like $ 10.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
$ 8.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
To me, that's still whatever. You like buying the chicken, then.
I like buying the chicken because it's less expensive. Honestly,
it smells better, and it's easier to come out of
the package. For whatever reason, that chicken stays pressed together.
The beef kind of crumbles a little. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Champ's not complaining.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
But I was a little surprised because we're having to
buy a lot of it, and it's not cheap. And
so why not just feed them chicken and save the $ 10?
Because we're buying a box a week. That's $ 40 a month.
That adds up. You know?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Okay, so $ 48 a month.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
No, I'm saying... Oh, times, times. So let's use your $ 8.
It's still $ 32 a month more expensive than if you
were to just buy the chicken.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
It's one box of beef. Just let them have beef
once a month.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
How about that? They don't care. I really don't.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I'm sorry. They do not care.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
They have taste buds. They do care because now they're
spitting out the kibble. They have a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
A discerning palate. Yeah, well, kibble is very different.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
It's chicken. They're still getting the treat of the fresh,
the pet, whatever it's called.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Okay, I wanted them to have beef just every once
in a great while.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I just wanted to ask the question.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Do you want to eat the same food every night
for the rest of your life?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
He's human.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So is Champ.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, but if you read the package, it says it's
not fit for human consumption, so you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Okay. Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Look, the thing is, we both work for a living,
so you've got to vote, and I know that.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I do, and I was actually the one doing the shopping.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, I just think it would be sensible.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
We'll table this for another time about that.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
And that's more money for fancy coffees.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Okay. Don't do that, Sam. And did he ask you? No.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Jody, as a follow-up to your being alone thing, It
was not my being alone. We talked about being alone
and what were the benefits of being alone.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
A lot of people.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Being single alone is what you mean, right?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
A lot of people who are single who are really
finding that they're thriving in their lives and that they
love it and didn't expect to.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Before you rush into something like that, I think it's
cautionary that it's maybe you got to make sure you're
ready for it, I think, because I was always a
married person, always had a partner. And I mean, you
know my history. I went from one partner to the
next to the next. There was really no break in
between so when i find there were transitions we can
actually build a flow chart.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Okay murphy that's not very supportive and it sounds.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
A little judgy sam knows i'm kidding of course i'm
not judging if.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
You look up here on the first chart you will
see the years 1989 to 1999 and that's.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Very human it's okay.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
But when it finally came to the point where it's
like i i'd finished with everybody done doing this not
that i said i was finished but when you decide
okay i'm gonna go this alone It's a big leap
because you don't know what a loan is until you're
a loan.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Oh!
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Wow. Okay.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Clam!
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Clam!
Speaker 3 (15:30):
That's the title of my new book. So you got
to be ready for it. I mean, and plus the
stuff you talked about too, you know, no compromising, but
you also have nobody to... compromise with.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah it would be nice sometimes to have.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
No honey do list but stuff still needs to get
done yeah and there's no honey and yeah you got
a free weekend but what are you gonna do like
you said sit on the sofa and just stare at
the tv so if and i'm not downplaying being single
because i love it i'm to that point where that's
where that's what it's going to be unless Unless, you.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Know, the unicorn comes along. Well, so being, you know,
single and alone like that, though, I would assume teaches
you how to avoid codependency, right?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I mean, you're going to escape that. Yes, I think
I had a.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Sink or swim.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah, I think I had a... I don't know if
it was codependency or a need for another person in
my life constantly.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
To kind of help.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
For various reasons.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
And then I would blow that up.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
And now.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
you know you're okay yeah i'm good one of the
things reported from all these people who are thriving in
their singlehood is that they also report feeling more confident
because they're doing it which is what sounds like because
now i.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Can make it usually make a decision without having to
you know run it past a committee.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And well we've seen that confidence building you now because
you started taking like your solo vacations a couple of
years ago you know what i mean you You've really
started doing things on your own that you normally would
have done with another person only.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's because I have no choice.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Okay. The latest buzz. Jodi's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
There is a documentary coming September 8th on Netflix. Murphy,
I hope you know that on that day we're going
to watch it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Because I think it's going to be so beautiful, and
it doesn't sound like it would, but it's called Untold Mr. T.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I pity the fool. I pity the fool. It's about Mr. T.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Some phony fake celebrity or fictitious hero.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I'm real life.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
He's telling his life story, how he became Mr. T
and why the persona of toughness.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
People don't know the road I had to travel. I
was born in the Robert Taylor Project. You got to
be tough in the hood. Growing up, I watched my
father being called boy. I ordained myself Mr. T. So
the first word out of everybody's mouth would be Mr.
That's a sign of respect my father didn't get.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Oh, my gosh. Right.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
You have to know that there's always something. People have layers.
There's just not one side to anything. He's not like
that all the time.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Are they going to cover Rocky III?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Are you kidding me? He stole the whole movie.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Of course they're going to cover Rocky III because that's
one of those things that really catapulted him into our.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
He stole the entire decade of the 80s. He did.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
So it's called Untold Mr. T, I Pity the Fool,
premiering Tuesday, September 8th on Netflix. Posted a wild Saturday
night picture of me and Murphy over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, I didn't know you were shooting this picture.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Murphy is sitting behind me on the sofa at his little...
Laptop desk?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Rolling desk?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
What do you call it?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, it's a rolling laptop desk.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah. The one that's supposed to be collapsible and be
put back in the closet.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Well, when I'm not using it, yes. I think you
expect it to be collapsed and put away all the time. No,
it's okay.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
So I'm laying on the sofa reading a book, and
I just shot a picture like, you know, wild Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Jokingly, yes.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Yeah, and man, everybody was all over this.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh, really?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah. Where he says, Murphy with the desk that we
all want now.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
And Jody, for a second, I thought you were just
sitting there with no top on. She says, wait, I
see the pink top now. Those are the best Saturday nights.
I did have a shirt on. It was one of
your big shirts. It's kind of the color of my skin,
so I was not posting that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
That's how rumors get started, huh?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Anything to get Murphy's attention.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
No. Stephen says, I thought Murph wasn't allowed to use
that new desk.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
You're using it a lot, and I'm glad for you.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Now, if people come over i'm gonna want to put
away but it's kind of it's it's been hanging out
it's out um denise says wow is murphy working on
a saturday night and i just answered her i don't
know what you were doing you might have been.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I was working that's okay i got sucked into something
that wasn't completed from friday and yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah Deanna said, it's called being comfy and enjoying your
home and life together. Also, my son has the same
shirt Murphy is wearing. So it's like Christmas in July, August,
or any day, right?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Oh, I love that one. You got that one at Target.
That's the one that— It's Santa. Don't Stop Believing.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Don't Stop Believing.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
And it's got Santa on it, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Murphy wears Christmas shirts.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
The little journey takeoff. That's some of that, all that retro.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Look, my favorite thing is when you don't, at home,
and rightly so, you often don't think about what you
put on.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
You're just wearing whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I mean, I do, too.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Clearly.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
You'll be wearing like a Christmas shirt. Like, oh, Santa shirt.
And you'll also wear green or red shorts.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I'm thinking you're.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Trying to be Christmassy. No, I'm not. It's just me being.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
I know.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
It's what's clean and available.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Casual and comfortable. One more from Christina. I love that
Murphy is wearing the Santa shirt in August. Also, true
weekend vibes, you guys. So, yeah, I wanted to share that.
We also have a comment from Facebook Messenger. It's from
Megan about the other day in the show. We know
Jodi can rock Three Things to Know, but I enjoyed
(21:08):
hearing Murphy take a stab at that.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh, well, that's sweet. Yeah, Jodi was, you know, traveling.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
And she says, Sam, you're next.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Murphy, we have an email for you from murphysamandjody.com based
on the After the Show podcast about you seeing your
dad's Corvette restored and running again after you and the
family decided to sell it after he passed away.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
The new owner and a good friend of ours who
writes articles for Corvette Magazine surprised us and brought the
car by. I had no idea what was going to happen.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Go back and listen to that podcast. But Charlie sent this.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I know this is heavier than you would probably want
on the show, but I lost my dad unexpectedly a
year and a half ago and his loss is really
finally hitting me and hard. Just listening to your stories
about the Corvette hit home so much with what me
and my family are currently dealing with and I wanted
to cry listening. It is so nice of the owner
to offer that to you and your family, but I
(22:07):
fear that is likely a rare circumstance for a new
owner to offer a get together at any time for
the family. Like Murphy and the Corvette, my dad has
a lot of things that meant a lot to him,
but the rest of us can't really use, but don't
want to see just waste away into the ground, you know?
But also, we're struggling to find the will to sell.
(22:28):
My question is, how do you fill or handle the
hole inside as a result of the loss of a
parent along with selling the things that mattered so much
to them? I'm just looking for advice on how to
help fill that hole from losing a parent and and
how to handle selling some of those treasured items. Thank
you for sharing everything about the Corvette. I didn't want
(22:49):
the podcast to end.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
That is from Charlie.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Thank you, Charlie. That's so nice. It's a really good question,
and the answer is the one that I know that
used to drive me crazy when anybody would say, but
it really is time. What I would say is give
yourself their permission. No one's making you sell any of
that stuff or get rid of any of that stuff.
And my brother and sister and I were not in
(23:12):
any rush to sell our childhood home. We didn't know
if we were going to or not. We weren't in
a rush to sell any of the things. We took
our time. I mean, literally, it was three years before
we sold our childhood home. It was four years before
we sold the Corvette. And you have to be in
the right emotional state. You have to get to a
(23:32):
place where you're comfortable and you are able to detach
those things from the person that you've lost.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And then once that has happened, you know, I mean,
you're still going to miss some of those things because
really what you're missing is the memory of those things
and the attachment you had tied to that person.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
You're missing him.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
But eventually you will get, you know, through that. And
also don't fight it. You're never going to get to
a place in your life where you're like, all right,
you know, I'm over missing my dad.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
You're always going to miss your dad.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It's okay for you to miss your dad.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Thank you for that, Charlie. Email us anytime at murphysamandjody.com.
I had to travel the other day right after the show,
and so you guys did a little podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Twice.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Oh, that's right. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
How Murphy really feels about Jody. And I want you
to know I heard that podcast. I heard about it.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I mean, I figured that you would.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
You need to listen to this podcast. They're talking about
you in front of me.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
It's not easy to do an after-the-show podcast without you,
you know?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Aw.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Really?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I mean, it's not that Sam and I can't hang out.
We can. It's just everything is the three of us.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I pitched my idea of a Star Wars podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I think a lot of people would enjoy a Star
Wars podcast. Anyway, I just wanted you to know you
answered some questions. Some DMs about our marriage.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, there were questions about our relationship and our marriage
and how we work together.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So I listened and I just wanted to say, so
today's After the Show podcast, we can go a little
deeper about that.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Non-proposal and how I really felt about that.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Oh, the non-proposal?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Yeah, the fact that I was never proposed to.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, I mean, I know that that was an issue
at some point.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
We'll get to it because I do have some things
to say about it. I feel differently about it today
than I did 27 years ago.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Is that the year we're on in marriage?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yes, we are. In November, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You guys also said a no-no word at the end
of that podcast. I heard soulmates being dropped.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That was Murphy.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
We're going to talk about that today in the After
the Show podcast, what Jody really thinks about, what Murphy
really thinks about Jody. That podcast will be. But I
did want to bring up something.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I had forgotten that when we first met, And the
quick story is that we worked together first. Murphy and
I were friends. He was my boss first. And Murphy,
and all respect, and I really liked you. And then
we were friends. When we got in the room together
doing the show, we were fast friends. And I felt like, oh,
(25:48):
my gosh, is this man my best friend? And it
happened very quickly that you were.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
And that is how we got together.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
But I had forgotten something you also mentioned in the podcast,
that there were things about me. in that trial phase
when I was on trial or whatever you call it,
or that you didn't like.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, you weren't on trial. What I was saying in
the podcast is that it was not like this immediate
attraction thing.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I wish. I love that kind of story, but it wasn't. No.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I wish I could say that story was our story.
But yeah, there were like, and women are that way.
I am different with different girlfriends. And there was a
girl that when she was around, she and I would
just talk about TV shows and shopping and we got
way too girly and Murphy was almost turned off by it.
But you know, I'm that way with some, there are
(26:36):
girlfriends that are still in my life today that you
would be so, you would bolt.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I was a different person back then too, though, you know.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
I just thought that that was funny that you brought
that in.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Women are that way with different friends. Yeah. You know,
like Sam and his Star Wars stuff. We would bolt, right?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah, probably so.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
All right, so we'll go there. The non-proposal and the
soulmates question. today.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
All right. Direct message us on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
We read and see every single comment that rolls in.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
You can also email us at murphysamandjody.com, which Christine has done.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yep. This one's for you, Jody, from Christine. She says,
I have a hard time walking on my treadmill for
any meaningful amount of time. I love walking in the neighborhood.
I can walk in the park or the mall, but
I find that walking the treadmill is I find walking
on the treadmill is incredibly boring.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I've watched TV, I've listened to the radio, or I've
listened to books being read to me, but I've only
made it for 30 minutes. Any thought? It's awfully hot
these days. True.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Christine, same, girl, same. I cannot stand to walk on
a treadmill.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I only ever do it if it's the last option
for movement. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Because to me, there's something about not going anywhere. You're
walking in place. I know, but it works for a
lot of people.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I'm in awe of these people who, you know, get
on there and ramp up the, what do you call that, Murphy?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
The incline.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
The incline.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I mean, that's the way. I mean, your butt will
thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
But same, Christine. To me, I'll just brave the heat.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
The view never changes.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah, the view never changes on a treadmill.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I have had a little luck watching a couple of
TV shows while walking, but still it's like, ugh.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
You know? Well, there are some things, and I need
to get back on the treadmill again. But for one thing,
I noticed Christine says 30 minutes. That's plenty. 30 is
all you need. If you're really pushing it, yeah. But,
you know, and the other thing, if you absolutely just
can't do and you don't like a treadmill, then obviously
nothing that you do is going to work.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
But what Jodi just described, the incline, and they say
two things will help. If all the rest still bores you,
All the outside stuff, earbuds and everything, set the– you
can set it, you know, program it to go up
or you just go up and incline. Like every three minutes,
you do something different.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Oh, they have different programs.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Which then keeps your brain, you know, working is a
different program. Or cover the clock. They actually say that, too,
because then it doesn't. I know that for me, when
I was doing the bike, it was the same thing,
the stationary bike. It's like, I don't want to go
30 more minutes. But it's like, okay, I made it
to five. I made it to 10. I made it
to 15.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
It's not as enjoyable because it's manufactured for you.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
If you're going on a walk, you never know what
you're going to see around the bend. So, yeah, I'm
with you.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
But I will say this. Keep searching for something you
love to do. That's why a lot of people who exercise,
who are naturally just active, they'll be doing yoga for
a while and then they'll be hiking for a while.
It's because you're looking for something to keep you moving.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Let us know, Christine.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Jodi's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
We all remember when Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson worked
together in the very dark, scary series called True Detective.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
No wonder ever.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
You're a bad man.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
The world needs bad men. We keep the other bad
men from the door.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
They worked together so well, and since this time, everybody
wants them together. And there's that rumor that they might
be brothers. These insane coincidences that they might be related.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
In real life?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
In real life.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Even Woody Harrelson said, look, they've never done any of
the tests, but there are a lot of weird coincidences.
And they noted the timing of his father's relationship with
Matthew McConaughey's mother.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
They don't look alike.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
There was some ishy stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Going on in the past with them, and they really
gel well together.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
They say they've never done the DNA testing.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Well, do it!
Speaker 4 (30:26):
I know!
Speaker 1 (30:27):
The world wants to know.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Apple TV does have a new comedy series coming called Brothers,
and they're going to play, this is so weird to me,
fictionalized versions of themselves.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
It's weird.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
It's about, you know, Woody Harrelson struggling with the revelation
that Matthew McConaughey is facing... An identity crisis as he
tries to run for governor of Texas. And it's a
comedy where they're playing themselves, which sounds weird.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I would be more interested in the real life story
with the DNA test.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Aren't we all?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I have a little travel hack for you if you
want to maximize your snack game if you're flying. So Murphy,
I had to fly the other day and it was
an overnight stay. So two flights. You know, I'd connect
and then two flights back. So four different flights.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Or in terms for me and Sam, two after the
show podcasts later.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That was very inconvenient, Jody.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Anyway. I was on Murphy, Sam & Jody business, as
you know.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Anyway, this airline, when the attendant comes down the aisle,
I'm always.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
In the window seat. So I can't hear very well,
but I love being in that.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Little den of the window seat.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I love that. Looking out at the sky. It's like,
would you like a snack?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
And she says, we have Cheez-Its, pretzels, cookies, or a
chocolate chip granola bar.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
So to me, that's a choice.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
So I'm like, well, what do you think I chose?
Y'all know me.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Cheez-Its.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Cheez-Its.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Correct. Bring me the salty snack, cheesy snack any day.
So I'm like, Cheez-Its, thank you. And I get my
little water. And I have my little bag of Cheez-Its.
And then everybody else around me, the two people to
my left and everybody else around me is like, I'll
have the cookie and the pretzels. And she's throwing them out.
Some people, the man on the aisle got all four.
And I'm like, hello, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Know that you could get all of them. Not that
I would have eaten all of them, but man, just...
Did you guys know that you can.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Request more than one?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I mean, I guess you can, but, you know.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Everybody around me.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
And they're probably prepared for that, if so. But, you know,
they're not going to, they're only going to offer what
you want. I don't think they're going to try to
push four snacks on the average person.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
They did.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
No, what I'm saying is, like, all four snacks.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Yeah, I thought it was just a choice.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
I thought it was a choice.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I've always just picked one. Everybody around me. The only
thing that wasn't getting picked was, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Pretzels.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
So they'll have pretzels in abundance.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Not when you've got the other sweet stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Like at the end of the month, they'll have nothing
but pretzels on those flights.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I don't think that there's anything universal because different airlines
do it differently.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
And different lengths of the trip do it differently.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
This was the airline where you would have picked the cookies.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
The Biscoff.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Every day and twice on Sunday. Yeah, it was Delta.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
But anyway, just so you know, I had one little
mini bag of Cheez-Its and then just like anger and
resentment for the rest of the flight.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
You know, you could have called her back over if
you didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I'm sure she passed ten times.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
I didn't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Remember I told you that I decided to do a
little pop culture therapy and watch one episode of Spongebob
Squarepants every day just for some light and laughter in
my life.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah, and sure enough, you know, around six o'clock last
night from the bedroom, I hear... I guess I know
what Jodi's doing.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Well, you know, our kids, Taylor and Phoebe, love it
and reminded me. I was overhearing a conversation of them
talking about all these episodes, and I realized I missed
a lot of it because they watched it when they
were growing up, and I was busy loading the dishwasher
or cooking dinner when it happened, and I missed a
lot of it.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
And so it does.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
It is simple and innocent and loony, just completely crazy.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
And 10-minute episodes, 10 and 11 and 12-minute episodes.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
So I thought, you know what? I have 10 minutes.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
To completely do something completely different.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I didn't realize they were 10-minute episodes. It felt like
they were longer than that.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
I mean, I guess some of them could be.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
And the girls were growing up. I don't know if, like,
because each DVD episode they were watching back in the
day was, I thought, 25 minutes or so. Yeah, I
thought they.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Were 20 minutes.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
So I log into our Paramount Plus account, Murphy, and
I find SpongeBob, because that's where the biggest collection of
them are. And, you know, Phoebe had said, just start
at the beginning. Start at the first episode. She was like,
there's not even a lot of talking in the first episode.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
But I.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I pulled it up on Paramount, and it was in
season five.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Like, somebody's been watching them. Okay. And so I'm like,
you know what?
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Why not just make it easy on myself and just
start right here, and then I can always go back. And,
you know, I knew I had picked the right one when,
you know, I let the whole song play, and I'm
getting situated for the next ten minutes, and it says
special guest star Ray Liotta.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
You know how much I loved Ray Liotta. And so
it was... Called Who Bob What Pants. This is the
episode where he became mayor of Kelp City.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
New Kelp City. He left home, SpongeBob, because everybody was
calling him Idiot Boy.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
See?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Anyway, I could not wait to find Ray. For ladies
who loved Ray Liotta, here he is.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
We call us the Bubble Poppin' Boys.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
And Article 1 of our charter prohibits bubble blowing on
our turf.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
It wasn't even the greatest Spun Drop episode. It wasn't
even one of those that you'll say and people will go, oh, great.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
It was so great.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
So he was a mafia guy in Spun Drop.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Yeah, he was. So it's like, this was correct.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's my sign that once a day or whenever I can,
I need a little pick-me-up that has nothing to do
with regular daily life.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
I'm going to keep watching it.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Were you able to stop at just one episode?
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Yes, that's the plan to make it last. You can't
do that? No.
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam & Jody Daily Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Benefits of being alone. Sam, are you excited about this topic?
I came across this online.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
There's no honey-do list.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Is that your top? No.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I do not have to sit and think about my top.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Okay, I want you to think about it to be continued,
but I will say this. More and more people are
happily single today. This year, 2026, than ever reported in
the history of humankind. And I can tell you from
my experience, I've got a lot of friends who are single.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Close friends.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Got some names.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
You know them already. They know you already, too.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And everybody's still single. Nothing's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Big boy.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
But I can say these are girlfriends who really confide
in me, and they are really happy single. One of
them told me this. I am so set and happy
single right now. I'm open to somebody coming into my life,
she said, but you're going to have to beat that.
In other words, if I'm happy, you're going to have
to bring a level, a higher level. You're going to
have to beat how content I am.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, it's taken a long time to get to that
level for me, but yeah. I think I'm happier alone now.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yeah, and that's wonderful for you, and that's wonderful for anyone.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Not that anything that I did before doesn't mean anything less.
It's just I'm at the point now where I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You have your own life, and everybody has their own life,
and I'm sure your exes have feelings about that too.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
So a.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Certain type of person thrives alone, and so people who
enjoy being alone or who are thriving in it say
this is what makes them feel happy.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
This is why. They don't have to compromise. Maybe they
were tired of compromising.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I have another girlfriend who never got married, and she
told me, she was like, Jodi, I just never wanted
anybody else's opinion about what to watch, where to go
on vacation, if I could work, all of that.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I was like, dang.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Oh, my way or the highway. I get it.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
You become more productive in your own life. That's in
the list. You really get to know yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Boy, that's true.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Sit with that a second.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, when you're sitting all alone, it's like, You got
your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
You got your feelings. You got your emotions.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
What's funny is after a stint of you being successfully
solo and thriving, to me, is when you would be
a better partner if someone were to come along, if
you really know yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, that makes total sense to me, you know, because
once you really establish that part and you have your
clear identity of who you are, you will be better
at helping others and not You know, there's a difference
between compromising and, you know, completely sacrificing everything that you
want for someone, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
In which case you'd lose yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Keep on it and you can tell us what else
you like about.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Being so on the way.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Earlier when we were talking about that football player who,
high school football player who found a venomous snake hiding
behind the padding of his helmet after he had worn
it for an hour.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That's insane to me still. That's crazy insane.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Talking about all the places that, you know, snakes hide
and where you... Everybody has a snake encounter.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I don't know if you've ever had a snake hiding incident.
Have you ever had one surprise you, Cody?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yes, but it wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's not the outdoor, oh, my gosh, there's a snake
in my boot situation.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
What, you found one in the toilet? No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
You know this story, unless you just forgot it. My ex,
the person I was with before you, was a biological
sciences major in college, and he was getting his Ph.D.,
and he had snakes everywhere.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
But not all over the place, like mostly.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
They weren't live snakes, though, were they?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Oh, yeah. Oh, they were?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
So one afternoon, I was at his apartment, and he
was not there yet, and I was looking for some
iced tea in the fridge, and I moved some stuff
out of the way.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
The tea was in the back.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I moved some stuff onto the counter to get to
the tea, and by the time I turned around to
pour my tea, what I had moved, it was a bag.
I didn't know what was in it, and it started moving.
He had put a snake in a bag, a snake bag,
in the refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Which keeps them from moving because they go dormant because
they're cold-blooded animals.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
They're cold-blooded. And he explained the same thing to me.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He's like, Jody, of course he's going to start moving
because it was hot out in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
First, you need to tell me you've got a snake
in the fridge.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I just wanted ice tea.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I put that snake back in that refrigerator so fast
because it was big and scary and I thought it
was going to get away from me.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I ought to put him in the freezer.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Anyway, common places that snakes hide, wood and debris piles. Ooh,
that's a big place. They're just looking for protection from heat,
from predators. They're just trying to chillax and feel safe
so they can sleep or whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Tall grass, of course. Dense bushes.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Which is what's happened to me.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And when they do that, that's what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
They're trying to protect themselves. They're not trying to sneak
up on you and hide.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
They actually don't want to be near you, technically.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
No.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Water features like ponds and landscape features. If you have
like a deck or whatever, that's a perfect little place
for them to sliver in.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
We have, you know, the pond in the back of
my house.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
When people put canoes on the or little pedal boats.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You lift it up and there's always a snake under it.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Right. It's a perfect hiding place. Yeah. So beware. Trending now.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Jodi's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
We already know that we're going to get... An Ozzy
Osbourne biopic. I'm going off the rails on a crazy train.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I'm going to warn everybody to be ready. You think
you're going to go in there and rock, and you will.
But when you leave, you're going to be affected emotionally.
This man had an incredible story, and he was a sweetheart. Okay,
so Jack Osbourne, his son, says there is real forward
motion on this biopic. They do have the script done.
(05:53):
They are looking for a director. They do have someone
in mind to play the Prince of Darkness. They're not
allowed to say yet because they're having conversations and no
one's signed on the dotted line. But he did say
if it works out, it's going to be awesome. And
he said that they as a family have made sure
that this biopic will be.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Warts and all. It's not going to be You know,
an artsy biopic that, you know, leaves you feel like, oh,
he was great, which I think you're going to think
he was great. Yeah. But he also had a lot
of work.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
He said it's going to be for the fans, what
the fans want.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
What the Aussie fans would want. So look forward to that.
I have no idea when, but when a script is done,
you know, everything else is falling into place.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
It'll be quick.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Morning pick-me-up time.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I wanted to update everybody on Grandma Droniak from Instagram
and TikTok. She's the 96-year-old grandma who earlier this year,
we thought she was going to get kicked out of
her nursing home for partying too hard.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I pay $ 12, 000 a month.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
To live here.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I can party if I want to.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
My girlfriends are coming over tonight.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
We're going to drink And gossip.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's not a party, but we do get rowdy.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I can't help it. I love to party. You can't
stop me.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
They are here! There was a knock at the door
and they are here.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Okay, so she was posting all this stuff online and
they realized she was keeping other residents up till like
one and two in the morning. And they were all
in her little apartment, her room, her area. And then
they would leave and they would be drunk. She was
she was serving alcohol.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You know, we're only going down the hall.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
She received it still.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
She received a, you know, a letter, a cease and
desist letter from, you know, the place. And you're going
to have to leave if you don't. You're going to
get evicted. And look, she's doing this because, number one,
this is her personality.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
It's who she is.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And she already had a social media following before she,
you know, became a resident here.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
She had started on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And then when TikTok became a thing, her grandson helped
her get on TikTok.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
She's just a comedian, naturally.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Okay, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
But she does really like to party. She's famous for
her funeral advice. Like, rules for her funeral are get drunk. Ugh.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Don't invite so-and-so. Like, she's got rules for her.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
She has posts that say, here's why you should never
trust a man. And it's like her walking with a
walker down the hall. Like, she's worth following. But I
wanted to give everybody the update. She has not been evicted,
and she won't be evicted. She's still paying whatever thousands
of dollars a month to live there. But she and
her attorneys reached a settlement that she can still have
her friends over to her room. They can stay as
(08:45):
long as they want to, 1 o'clock in the morning.
But she cannot serve alcohol anymore.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Oh. So she can drink it herself, but she can't
serve it to other residents.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, can they serve themselves? Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Your morning picked me up. I love to party.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So does she.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Ladies, I found out where all the men are. Now,
I don't know if they're all single, but oh, my gosh.
So let me tell you a story from last night.
I have a new device in my life, a new phone.
And it arrived, and my life has been crazy with
it because it's a new phone, but I didn't have
a case. I didn't have an OtterBox, which is what
we decided I needed, an OtterBox.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
It was so crazy rolling around with that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
For those of us that tend to drop phones, that's
the way to go.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That naked phone made me so nervous for two, three
days until I finally said, you know what? I couldn't
find it at Walmart, the one I wanted, so I
rolled into Best Buy to get it. I walk in there.
It's not my kind of, I mean, I only ever
go in there with Murphy every once in a great while.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Oh, I love it. It's like Disney World.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So guess what?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I had been singing this song in my head all day,
Meghan Trainor's No, which is a favorite song of mine.
That gets stuck in my head all the time.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I have not heard that in a long time.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Time I love that.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Song it gets stuck I sit down I walk in
there I find the Otterboxes and that song starts playing.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Oh, really?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
And I found my Otterbox. I was like, wow.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
And then I look around and I'm getting helped by strangers,
by people who work there.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
It's all men. I'm the only female in the whole place.
And I'm like, this is where all the men are.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
They're at Best Buy looking at electronics, just like Murphy
loves to go to Best Buy.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Any excuse? I have seen Murphy.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Be at home, be ready for bed, be comfortable, and
realize we need something and get dressed and say, I'm
going to Best Buy.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
It's where the men are.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Or when I get a notification that somebody's ready for pickup.
Gotta go, Jody.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
See ya.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I had so much help selecting this one little Otterbox
case from men who worked there and men who were just,
you know, hey, can I help you?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Like, what you looking for? It was so funny.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Then I want you to know the music's still playing.
The playlist in there is really fun. I'm like, this
is where the men are, and the music's great. I
go to the checkout, and I want you to know,
they're like, do you have a phone number with us?
I'm like, of course I don't. I gave them yours.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Good.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And they were like, oh, yeah, we know you.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
He's a gold customer.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Yeah. They were like, oh.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And I said, will this get him points? And he
was like, yeah, it sure will. So I got you
some points.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh, thank you, Jody.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Got my OtterBox public service announcement. That's where the men are.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Follow us on Instagram, even if you don't like the
new way that Instagram is written.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Like the rest of the online world.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh, you mean like the logo and all that stuff?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
They changed it. They pulled a Cracker Barrel this week,
and people aren't loving it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You know what? When I saw that, when I first
saw that, I'm thinking, am I in a fake place?
I thought I was like in a fraudulent place when
I saw it.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Smart Murphy, no.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
There's a lot of pushback online. We'll see if they
go back or stick with it. I'm betting they're going
to stick with it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Well, I have a question for you, Jody, because this
is something that, I thought that we agreed on, and
you decided to change midstream. Sam, you don't know about
this yet.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
No, that sounds good, though.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah. So, Jody went to buy some dog food the
other day. You know, we're doing the whole fresh pet thing.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Because our dogs are older, and we're spoiling. These old dogs.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Have tender teeth, and they deserve fresh food.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
And I agree with that. I mean, I stretched out
the cheap stuff as long as we could go. No,
we never cheaped out on them. It's just they can't
do the kibble, the dry dog food anymore as much. No,
they cannot. So I noticed there was a pretty substantial
price difference between the chicken one and the beef one.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It's like $ 10.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
$ 8.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
To me, that's still whatever. You like buying the chicken, then.
I like buying the chicken because it's less expensive. Honestly,
it smells better, and it's easier to come out of
the package. For whatever reason, that chicken stays pressed together.
The beef kind of crumbles a little. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Champ's not complaining.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
But I was a little surprised because we're having to
buy a lot of it, and it's not cheap. And
so why not just feed them chicken and save the $ 10?
Because we're buying a box a week. That's $ 40 a month.
That adds up. You know?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Okay, so $ 48 a month.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
No, I'm saying... Oh, times, times. So let's use your $ 8.
It's still $ 32 a month more expensive than if you
were to just buy the chicken.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
It's one box of beef. Just let them have beef
once a month.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
How about that? They don't care. I really don't.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I'm sorry. They do not care.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
They have taste buds. They do care because now they're
spitting out the kibble. They have a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
A discerning palate. Yeah, well, kibble is very different.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
It's chicken. They're still getting the treat of the fresh,
the pet, whatever it's called.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Okay, I wanted them to have beef just every once
in a great while.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I just wanted to ask the question.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Do you want to eat the same food every night
for the rest of your life?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
He's human.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So is Champ.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, but if you read the package, it says it's
not fit for human consumption, so you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Okay. Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Look, the thing is, we both work for a living,
so you've got to vote, and I know that.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I do, and I was actually the one doing the shopping.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, I just think it would be sensible.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
We'll table this for another time about that.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
And that's more money for fancy coffees.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Okay. Don't do that, Sam. And did he ask you? No.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Jody, as a follow-up to your being alone thing, It
was not my being alone. We talked about being alone
and what were the benefits of being alone.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
A lot of people.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Being single alone is what you mean, right?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
A lot of people who are single who are really
finding that they're thriving in their lives and that they
love it and didn't expect to.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Before you rush into something like that, I think it's
cautionary that it's maybe you got to make sure you're
ready for it, I think, because I was always a
married person, always had a partner. And I mean, you
know my history. I went from one partner to the
next to the next. There was really no break in
between so when i find there were transitions we can
actually build a flow chart.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Okay murphy that's not very supportive and it sounds.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
A little judgy sam knows i'm kidding of course i'm
not judging if.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
You look up here on the first chart you will
see the years 1989 to 1999 and that's.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Very human it's okay.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
But when it finally came to the point where it's
like i i'd finished with everybody done doing this not
that i said i was finished but when you decide
okay i'm gonna go this alone It's a big leap
because you don't know what a loan is until you're
a loan.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Oh!
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Wow. Okay.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Clam!
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Clam!
Speaker 3 (15:30):
That's the title of my new book. So you got
to be ready for it. I mean, and plus the
stuff you talked about too, you know, no compromising, but
you also have nobody to... compromise with.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah it would be nice sometimes to have.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
No honey do list but stuff still needs to get
done yeah and there's no honey and yeah you got
a free weekend but what are you gonna do like
you said sit on the sofa and just stare at
the tv so if and i'm not downplaying being single
because i love it i'm to that point where that's
where that's what it's going to be unless Unless, you.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Know, the unicorn comes along. Well, so being, you know,
single and alone like that, though, I would assume teaches
you how to avoid codependency, right?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I mean, you're going to escape that. Yes, I think
I had a.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Sink or swim.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah, I think I had a... I don't know if
it was codependency or a need for another person in
my life constantly.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
To kind of help.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
For various reasons.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
And then I would blow that up.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
And now.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
you know you're okay yeah i'm good one of the
things reported from all these people who are thriving in
their singlehood is that they also report feeling more confident
because they're doing it which is what sounds like because
now i.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Can make it usually make a decision without having to
you know run it past a committee.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And well we've seen that confidence building you now because
you started taking like your solo vacations a couple of
years ago you know what i mean you You've really
started doing things on your own that you normally would
have done with another person only.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's because I have no choice.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Okay. The latest buzz. Jodi's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
There is a documentary coming September 8th on Netflix. Murphy,
I hope you know that on that day we're going
to watch it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Because I think it's going to be so beautiful, and
it doesn't sound like it would, but it's called Untold Mr. T.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I pity the fool. I pity the fool. It's about Mr. T.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Some phony fake celebrity or fictitious hero.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I'm real life.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
He's telling his life story, how he became Mr. T
and why the persona of toughness.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
People don't know the road I had to travel. I
was born in the Robert Taylor Project. You got to
be tough in the hood. Growing up, I watched my
father being called boy. I ordained myself Mr. T. So
the first word out of everybody's mouth would be Mr.
That's a sign of respect my father didn't get.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Oh, my gosh. Right.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
You have to know that there's always something. People have layers.
There's just not one side to anything. He's not like
that all the time.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Are they going to cover Rocky III?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Are you kidding me? He stole the whole movie.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Of course they're going to cover Rocky III because that's
one of those things that really catapulted him into our.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
He stole the entire decade of the 80s. He did.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
So it's called Untold Mr. T, I Pity the Fool,
premiering Tuesday, September 8th on Netflix. Posted a wild Saturday
night picture of me and Murphy over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, I didn't know you were shooting this picture.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Murphy is sitting behind me on the sofa at his little...
Laptop desk?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Rolling desk?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
What do you call it?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, it's a rolling laptop desk.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah. The one that's supposed to be collapsible and be
put back in the closet.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Well, when I'm not using it, yes. I think you
expect it to be collapsed and put away all the time. No,
it's okay.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
So I'm laying on the sofa reading a book, and
I just shot a picture like, you know, wild Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Jokingly, yes.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Yeah, and man, everybody was all over this.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh, really?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Yeah. Where he says, Murphy with the desk that we
all want now.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
And Jody, for a second, I thought you were just
sitting there with no top on. She says, wait, I
see the pink top now. Those are the best Saturday nights.
I did have a shirt on. It was one of
your big shirts. It's kind of the color of my skin,
so I was not posting that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
That's how rumors get started, huh?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Anything to get Murphy's attention.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
No. Stephen says, I thought Murph wasn't allowed to use
that new desk.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
You're using it a lot, and I'm glad for you.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Now, if people come over i'm gonna want to put
away but it's kind of it's it's been hanging out
it's out um denise says wow is murphy working on
a saturday night and i just answered her i don't
know what you were doing you might have been.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I was working that's okay i got sucked into something
that wasn't completed from friday and yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah Deanna said, it's called being comfy and enjoying your
home and life together. Also, my son has the same
shirt Murphy is wearing. So it's like Christmas in July, August,
or any day, right?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Oh, I love that one. You got that one at Target.
That's the one that— It's Santa. Don't Stop Believing.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Don't Stop Believing.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
And it's got Santa on it, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Murphy wears Christmas shirts.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
The little journey takeoff. That's some of that, all that retro.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Look, my favorite thing is when you don't, at home,
and rightly so, you often don't think about what you
put on.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
You're just wearing whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I mean, I do, too.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Clearly.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
You'll be wearing like a Christmas shirt. Like, oh, Santa shirt.
And you'll also wear green or red shorts.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I'm thinking you're.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Trying to be Christmassy. No, I'm not. It's just me being.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
I know.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
It's what's clean and available.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Casual and comfortable. One more from Christina. I love that
Murphy is wearing the Santa shirt in August. Also, true
weekend vibes, you guys. So, yeah, I wanted to share that.
We also have a comment from Facebook Messenger. It's from
Megan about the other day in the show. We know
Jodi can rock Three Things to Know, but I enjoyed
(21:08):
hearing Murphy take a stab at that.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh, well, that's sweet. Yeah, Jodi was, you know, traveling.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
And she says, Sam, you're next.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Murphy, we have an email for you from murphysamandjody.com based
on the After the Show podcast about you seeing your
dad's Corvette restored and running again after you and the
family decided to sell it after he passed away.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
The new owner and a good friend of ours who
writes articles for Corvette Magazine surprised us and brought the
car by. I had no idea what was going to happen.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Go back and listen to that podcast. But Charlie sent this.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I know this is heavier than you would probably want
on the show, but I lost my dad unexpectedly a
year and a half ago and his loss is really
finally hitting me and hard. Just listening to your stories
about the Corvette hit home so much with what me
and my family are currently dealing with and I wanted
to cry listening. It is so nice of the owner
to offer that to you and your family, but I
(22:07):
fear that is likely a rare circumstance for a new
owner to offer a get together at any time for
the family. Like Murphy and the Corvette, my dad has
a lot of things that meant a lot to him,
but the rest of us can't really use, but don't
want to see just waste away into the ground, you know?
But also, we're struggling to find the will to sell.
(22:28):
My question is, how do you fill or handle the
hole inside as a result of the loss of a
parent along with selling the things that mattered so much
to them? I'm just looking for advice on how to
help fill that hole from losing a parent and and
how to handle selling some of those treasured items. Thank
you for sharing everything about the Corvette. I didn't want
(22:49):
the podcast to end.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
That is from Charlie.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Thank you, Charlie. That's so nice. It's a really good question,
and the answer is the one that I know that
used to drive me crazy when anybody would say, but
it really is time. What I would say is give
yourself their permission. No one's making you sell any of
that stuff or get rid of any of that stuff.
And my brother and sister and I were not in
(23:12):
any rush to sell our childhood home. We didn't know
if we were going to or not. We weren't in
a rush to sell any of the things. We took
our time. I mean, literally, it was three years before
we sold our childhood home. It was four years before
we sold the Corvette. And you have to be in
the right emotional state. You have to get to a
(23:32):
place where you're comfortable and you are able to detach
those things from the person that you've lost.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And then once that has happened, you know, I mean,
you're still going to miss some of those things because
really what you're missing is the memory of those things
and the attachment you had tied to that person.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
You're missing him.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
But eventually you will get, you know, through that. And
also don't fight it. You're never going to get to
a place in your life where you're like, all right,
you know, I'm over missing my dad.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
You're always going to miss your dad.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It's okay for you to miss your dad.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Thank you for that, Charlie. Email us anytime at murphysamandjody.com.
I had to travel the other day right after the show,
and so you guys did a little podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Twice.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Oh, that's right. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
How Murphy really feels about Jody. And I want you
to know I heard that podcast. I heard about it.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I mean, I figured that you would.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
You need to listen to this podcast. They're talking about
you in front of me.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
It's not easy to do an after-the-show podcast without you,
you know?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Aw.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Really?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I mean, it's not that Sam and I can't hang out.
We can. It's just everything is the three of us.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I pitched my idea of a Star Wars podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I think a lot of people would enjoy a Star
Wars podcast. Anyway, I just wanted you to know you
answered some questions. Some DMs about our marriage.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, there were questions about our relationship and our marriage
and how we work together.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So I listened and I just wanted to say, so
today's After the Show podcast, we can go a little
deeper about that.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Non-proposal and how I really felt about that.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Oh, the non-proposal?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Yeah, the fact that I was never proposed to.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, I mean, I know that that was an issue
at some point.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
We'll get to it because I do have some things
to say about it. I feel differently about it today
than I did 27 years ago.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Is that the year we're on in marriage?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yes, we are. In November, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You guys also said a no-no word at the end
of that podcast. I heard soulmates being dropped.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That was Murphy.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
We're going to talk about that today in the After
the Show podcast, what Jody really thinks about, what Murphy
really thinks about Jody. That podcast will be. But I
did want to bring up something.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I had forgotten that when we first met, And the
quick story is that we worked together first. Murphy and
I were friends. He was my boss first. And Murphy,
and all respect, and I really liked you. And then
we were friends. When we got in the room together
doing the show, we were fast friends. And I felt like, oh,
(25:48):
my gosh, is this man my best friend? And it
happened very quickly that you were.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
And that is how we got together.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
But I had forgotten something you also mentioned in the podcast,
that there were things about me. in that trial phase
when I was on trial or whatever you call it,
or that you didn't like.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, you weren't on trial. What I was saying in
the podcast is that it was not like this immediate
attraction thing.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I wish. I love that kind of story, but it wasn't. No.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I wish I could say that story was our story.
But yeah, there were like, and women are that way.
I am different with different girlfriends. And there was a
girl that when she was around, she and I would
just talk about TV shows and shopping and we got
way too girly and Murphy was almost turned off by it.
But you know, I'm that way with some, there are
(26:36):
girlfriends that are still in my life today that you
would be so, you would bolt.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I was a different person back then too, though, you know.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
I just thought that that was funny that you brought
that in.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Women are that way with different friends. Yeah. You know,
like Sam and his Star Wars stuff. We would bolt, right?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah, probably so.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
All right, so we'll go there. The non-proposal and the
soulmates question. today.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
All right. Direct message us on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
We read and see every single comment that rolls in.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
You can also email us at murphysamandjody.com, which Christine has done.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yep. This one's for you, Jody, from Christine. She says,
I have a hard time walking on my treadmill for
any meaningful amount of time. I love walking in the neighborhood.
I can walk in the park or the mall, but
I find that walking the treadmill is I find walking
on the treadmill is incredibly boring.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I've watched TV, I've listened to the radio, or I've
listened to books being read to me, but I've only
made it for 30 minutes. Any thought? It's awfully hot
these days. True.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Christine, same, girl, same. I cannot stand to walk on
a treadmill.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I only ever do it if it's the last option
for movement. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Because to me, there's something about not going anywhere. You're
walking in place. I know, but it works for a
lot of people.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I'm in awe of these people who, you know, get
on there and ramp up the, what do you call that, Murphy?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
The incline.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
The incline.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I mean, that's the way. I mean, your butt will
thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
But same, Christine. To me, I'll just brave the heat.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
The view never changes.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah, the view never changes on a treadmill.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I have had a little luck watching a couple of
TV shows while walking, but still it's like, ugh.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
You know? Well, there are some things, and I need
to get back on the treadmill again. But for one thing,
I noticed Christine says 30 minutes. That's plenty. 30 is
all you need. If you're really pushing it, yeah. But,
you know, and the other thing, if you absolutely just
can't do and you don't like a treadmill, then obviously
nothing that you do is going to work.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
But what Jodi just described, the incline, and they say
two things will help. If all the rest still bores you,
All the outside stuff, earbuds and everything, set the– you
can set it, you know, program it to go up
or you just go up and incline. Like every three minutes,
you do something different.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Oh, they have different programs.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Which then keeps your brain, you know, working is a
different program. Or cover the clock. They actually say that, too,
because then it doesn't. I know that for me, when
I was doing the bike, it was the same thing,
the stationary bike. It's like, I don't want to go
30 more minutes. But it's like, okay, I made it
to five. I made it to 10. I made it
to 15.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
It's not as enjoyable because it's manufactured for you.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
If you're going on a walk, you never know what
you're going to see around the bend. So, yeah, I'm
with you.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
But I will say this. Keep searching for something you
love to do. That's why a lot of people who exercise,
who are naturally just active, they'll be doing yoga for
a while and then they'll be hiking for a while.
It's because you're looking for something to keep you moving.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Let us know, Christine.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Jodi's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
We all remember when Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson worked
together in the very dark, scary series called True Detective.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
No wonder ever.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
You're a bad man.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
The world needs bad men. We keep the other bad
men from the door.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
They worked together so well, and since this time, everybody
wants them together. And there's that rumor that they might
be brothers. These insane coincidences that they might be related.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
In real life?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
In real life.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Even Woody Harrelson said, look, they've never done any of
the tests, but there are a lot of weird coincidences.
And they noted the timing of his father's relationship with
Matthew McConaughey's mother.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
They don't look alike.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
There was some ishy stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Going on in the past with them, and they really
gel well together.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
They say they've never done the DNA testing.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Well, do it!
Speaker 4 (30:26):
I know!
Speaker 1 (30:27):
The world wants to know.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Apple TV does have a new comedy series coming called Brothers,
and they're going to play, this is so weird to me,
fictionalized versions of themselves.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
It's weird.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
It's about, you know, Woody Harrelson struggling with the revelation
that Matthew McConaughey is facing... An identity crisis as he
tries to run for governor of Texas. And it's a
comedy where they're playing themselves, which sounds weird.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I would be more interested in the real life story
with the DNA test.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Aren't we all?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I have a little travel hack for you if you
want to maximize your snack game if you're flying. So Murphy,
I had to fly the other day and it was
an overnight stay. So two flights. You know, I'd connect
and then two flights back. So four different flights.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Or in terms for me and Sam, two after the
show podcasts later.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That was very inconvenient, Jody.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Anyway. I was on Murphy, Sam & Jody business, as
you know.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Anyway, this airline, when the attendant comes down the aisle,
I'm always.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
In the window seat. So I can't hear very well,
but I love being in that.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Little den of the window seat.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I love that. Looking out at the sky. It's like,
would you like a snack?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
And she says, we have Cheez-Its, pretzels, cookies, or a
chocolate chip granola bar.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
So to me, that's a choice.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
So I'm like, well, what do you think I chose?
Y'all know me.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Cheez-Its.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Cheez-Its.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Correct. Bring me the salty snack, cheesy snack any day.
So I'm like, Cheez-Its, thank you. And I get my
little water. And I have my little bag of Cheez-Its.
And then everybody else around me, the two people to
my left and everybody else around me is like, I'll
have the cookie and the pretzels. And she's throwing them out.
Some people, the man on the aisle got all four.
And I'm like, hello, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Know that you could get all of them. Not that
I would have eaten all of them, but man, just...
Did you guys know that you can.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Request more than one?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I mean, I guess you can, but, you know.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Everybody around me.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
And they're probably prepared for that, if so. But, you know,
they're not going to, they're only going to offer what
you want. I don't think they're going to try to
push four snacks on the average person.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
They did.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
No, what I'm saying is, like, all four snacks.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Yeah, I thought it was just a choice.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
I thought it was a choice.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I've always just picked one. Everybody around me. The only
thing that wasn't getting picked was, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Pretzels.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
So they'll have pretzels in abundance.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Not when you've got the other sweet stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Like at the end of the month, they'll have nothing
but pretzels on those flights.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I don't think that there's anything universal because different airlines
do it differently.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
And different lengths of the trip do it differently.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
This was the airline where you would have picked the cookies.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
The Biscoff.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Every day and twice on Sunday. Yeah, it was Delta.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
But anyway, just so you know, I had one little
mini bag of Cheez-Its and then just like anger and
resentment for the rest of the flight.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
You know, you could have called her back over if
you didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I'm sure she passed ten times.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
I didn't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Remember I told you that I decided to do a
little pop culture therapy and watch one episode of Spongebob
Squarepants every day just for some light and laughter in
my life.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah, and sure enough, you know, around six o'clock last
night from the bedroom, I hear... I guess I know
what Jodi's doing.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Well, you know, our kids, Taylor and Phoebe, love it
and reminded me. I was overhearing a conversation of them
talking about all these episodes, and I realized I missed
a lot of it because they watched it when they
were growing up, and I was busy loading the dishwasher
or cooking dinner when it happened, and I missed a
lot of it.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
And so it does.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
It is simple and innocent and loony, just completely crazy.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
And 10-minute episodes, 10 and 11 and 12-minute episodes.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
So I thought, you know what? I have 10 minutes.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
To completely do something completely different.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I didn't realize they were 10-minute episodes. It felt like
they were longer than that.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
I mean, I guess some of them could be.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
And the girls were growing up. I don't know if, like,
because each DVD episode they were watching back in the
day was, I thought, 25 minutes or so. Yeah, I
thought they.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Were 20 minutes.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
So I log into our Paramount Plus account, Murphy, and
I find SpongeBob, because that's where the biggest collection of
them are. And, you know, Phoebe had said, just start
at the beginning. Start at the first episode. She was like,
there's not even a lot of talking in the first episode.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
But I.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I pulled it up on Paramount, and it was in
season five.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Like, somebody's been watching them. Okay. And so I'm like,
you know what?
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Why not just make it easy on myself and just
start right here, and then I can always go back. And,
you know, I knew I had picked the right one when,
you know, I let the whole song play, and I'm
getting situated for the next ten minutes, and it says
special guest star Ray Liotta.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
You know how much I loved Ray Liotta. And so
it was... Called Who Bob What Pants. This is the
episode where he became mayor of Kelp City.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
New Kelp City. He left home, SpongeBob, because everybody was
calling him Idiot Boy.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
See?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Anyway, I could not wait to find Ray. For ladies
who loved Ray Liotta, here he is.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
We call us the Bubble Poppin' Boys.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
And Article 1 of our charter prohibits bubble blowing on
our turf.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
It wasn't even the greatest Spun Drop episode. It wasn't
even one of those that you'll say and people will go, oh, great.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
It was so great.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
So he was a mafia guy in Spun Drop.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Yeah, he was. So it's like, this was correct.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's my sign that once a day or whenever I can,
I need a little pick-me-up that has nothing to do
with regular daily life.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
I'm going to keep watching it.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Were you able to stop at just one episode?
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Yes, that's the plan to make it last. You can't
do that? No.
