Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Murphy saman Jody. Happy holidays, and while we
are out, we picked up some of our favorite podcast
moments from this past year to share with you and
wish you all the best for the holiday season. Here
are some of our favorite moments from previous podcasts.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I think you're gonna find this one hard to believe,
but you know, we were talking recently about the arguments
that you and Murphy have, Jody.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
The dumb marriage arguments.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, that was on every spots had. That was enter
after the show podcast one day last week.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, and you've shared a lot of yours. We loved them.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah right, It's really funny on our Facebook and Instagram,
so many different shares from different couples.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
That one of my favorite dumb arguments that somebody got
into was whether to open presents on Christmas Eve or
Christmas Morning.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Apparently it was a bad argument.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And then the one you know about the cup of
coffee being filled half full.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Yeah, the husband who likes his coffee half full and
if it's higher than that, he's not happy.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Wile, But you know what, every couple is different, everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Yeah, welcome to marriage.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
People.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I don't know how to defend that one. One thing
I was thinking of is the one thing that I
never argued with any of my spouses. By three spouses, okay, Sam,
and it was over the folding of clothes.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I'm so impressed.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, okay, first marriage, I kind of did most of
the laundry, so there was no one to argue with.
But second one, it's like, when she started folding clothes,
it's like, this is not the way we fold close.
I didn't say it, I just thought it. Yeah, and
then I realized, you know, everybody's got a different way
of folding clothes. Yes, my way of folding was the
way I was brought up seeing it folded. Hers was
(01:38):
the same. So that was one of those ones where
it's like, this doesn't really matter.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Did she know that you were biting your tongue?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
No, No, I kept it quiet.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
She wouldn't know to this day if you told.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Well, I mean maybe she would maybe maybe picked up
a little maybe she heard me grumpy in the laundry
room or something.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, because you know what, that is the one that
has the potential, not that it can't be discussed, but
you know, it is just folding clothes at the end
of the day, right, that's just better than the alternative,
which is still in a basket or crumpled in a pile.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Awful, that's off, or you live alone, fold them your way,
which is what I do now. But anyway, by the
time I got to spouse number three, it was a
different way than spouse number two. I had already settled
in and it's like, oh, here's another way I got
to learn.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Did you say anything to spouse not?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I just adapted and started folding things that way. Oh, so,
I guess I don't really understand. You know, what, is
there an improper way to fold clothes?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well, dependsn't you ask?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
No, it's it's however you were taught, is what you're
comfortable with.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, and that's that's it.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I don't think there's any wrong way as long as
you're folding them and putting them away.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, I mean I always fold it where you know,
sleep t shirts, sleeves go inside and you fold them
in half. Well, some of these people would, you know,
fold them in half down the middle, so you get
the sleeves on the same side and you fall underwear.
Same thing mindor wears not folding correct, But you know what.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
You can do your own underwear now can't welcome to it.
There is a certain situation where you are more likely
to experience love at first sight, and I want to
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Is it situation or a location.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
It's a situation why you had a locale in mind.
I'm just wondering, do you believe in love a first sight?
That's a good question, that's the question. I don't know
if it's s spark sit it's a real thing that
people who have who feel like they fell in love
(03:38):
at first sight will tell you they believe in But
if you've never experienced anything like that, then of course
you can't say you believe in it. There are people
who want to believe in it. I knew Murphy for
years before there was a spark and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, that's true. It was not first it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Okay, this is a completely different thing. This is not
about people to peep.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
But it shows that dog owners felt an instant connection
with their dog. Love at first sight, when when you
meet your dog, find your rescue, whatever it is, it's
a ninety percent thing, which is high in the percentage world.
Like you knew this was your dog right away, and
you felt something a spark if you will.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Isn't that lovely?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Now?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Other pet owners report it took us a time. It
took us time to build the bond. But aren't you
always looking for that when you go to a shelter
and you're looking.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
At all the dogs.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Would be nice to be able to look and go
that's the one.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
You never had that experience?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
No, No, I would say, hey, Murphy, you know where
I'm about to go?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Here?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Champ my favorite dog ever.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I would say it was love at first night, really,
and that didn't mean for it to rhyme. We had
him for one the first night, the first twenty four
hour period that we had him.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
He was supposed to be a foster dog. You remember that.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
We were like, oh, he'll be adopted out easily.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
He's great. And I'm like, yeah, he's great. In fact,
I don't want to foster him. I want to adopt him.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
What was it his soul?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
He just is a person.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It is difficult to describe. He actually does kind of
feel like a person inside. I don't know how to
explain it. Sam. He's different than any dog that we've had.
At first, I'm not just falling for JODI's profit.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
This is called research, not robanda.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
We're all hearing so much about the show Friends right now,
and there's a very good reason if it slipped your mind.
Over the weekend Friends celebrated thirty years. It was the
thirtieth anniversary of the TV show Friends.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That is so weird.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
He'll let that sink in for a second.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
When it started ran for keen.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
So yeah, it sure did.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Okay, So, and we also told you yesterday, I think
it was in Three Things to know that there's a
Friends TV game show coming called Fast Friends.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It'll be on Max.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
It's going to be filmed in New York at the
Friends Experience where you where they actually will do the game.
There'll be teams and they'll do the game at Central Perk,
you know, something.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
That's been recreated.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah, and then in the apartment and Chandler and Joey's
bachelor pad sort of a thing. And then we'll get
it on Max one day to watch. But we're hearing
so much about it because of that thirtieth anniversary. And
I saw this thing that came up, and I wanted
to share lessons that we all learned about friendship from
the TV show Friends. And I started reading it, it's like, oh,
(06:34):
we have to talk about this because apparently they weren't
just entertaining us, they were, you know, teaching us because
they did a lot of positive things for each other.
I always kind of felt like Phoebe Buffet was the
most appreciative of her friends because she really didn't have family.
You know, that.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Psychic I see, Yeah, well she told me that I'm
going to die this week, so I'm kind of bummed
about that. Yeah, and I know you guys don't know
a lot about psychic readings, but that one is pretty
much the worst one you can get.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
So what are the lessons that we can learn from
the TV show Friends and their friendships? Number one, don't
be afraid to be vulnerable. They were all vulnerable with
each other. They shared emotions and fears and scary things.
That makes you closer. That creates connection. Not trying to
be super cool around people, but just being vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
That vulnerabilities actually what induce us as viewers.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
To the characters totally.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
They have a third place you hang out specifically just
to hang out.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It's not at work, it's not at home.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
They had that central perk place and they made time
for each other there. If you can do that, it
becomes a special place for just your friends. And the
other thing is it's just kind of a thing to
think about. You end up creating bonds with people that
you see frequently. You end up becoming friends because you're
just in each other's lives all the time and they
were always across the hall and things like that. Yeah,
(08:00):
just something to think about as you celebrate thirty years
of friends.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Don't you think you've had enough to drink? I'm just
helping the kids. How is you drinking helping the kids?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Because the more I drink, the less there is for
the kids to drink. Direct message us on Facebook.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
We got an email here from Chris and this This is
a good one for everybody, but specifically you, Jody.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Okay, hey, Chris, Chris says Jody.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
The West Wing is a must see binge. Oh okay,
I'm on my seventh time watching the series. Ooh, and
it's seven seasons. It takes a while to get through it,
but you will laugh, you will cry, you'll be in suspense,
and you'll learn more about the inside of the presidency
along with general government issues. Cool.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Thank you Chris for the recommendation. I never watched that show.
I'd always heard great things about it. And the reason
we were even talking about in The Outsider the other
day is that they're talking about a reboot.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Aaron Sorkin is saying, you know what, maybe you.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Know because that is an ongoing thing. There's always a
president in the in office. There's a lot of stories
that you know to tell. So thank you for that, Chris.
From our Facebook page, Kimberly said this in regarding we
had talked about. You know, when you disagree when you're
a young couple and you're expecting, but you disagree on
baby names.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
It does happen to couples. It didn't happen to you
and IMRV No. We were always agreed.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Kimberly said, no issues with my husband, but my mother
it was a different story.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I had a long labor with my son.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
It lasted thirty six hours after I was exhausted, and
my mother somehow talked me into switching my son's first
and middle name around as I was working on his
paperwork the morning after. To this day, we call him
by his middle name. And it's been a sore spot
for me ever since. Oh, I am so sorry ready
(10:00):
to hear that.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I guess I'm confused by that. So her mom, her
mother so convinced her while she was in the moment there.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Right after giving birth and not sleeping in thirty six
hours of No, you're not in your right well, you
don't know, but you remember, Murphy, how you know?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Emotional you are too.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
You are emotionally bottomed out your hormones.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It's not a great decision making time.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
No, and mom really wanted it the other way around.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
There's still problems what she said.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
It's been a sore spot ever since. That's what that means.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Kimberly.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I guess you could always be the only one to
call your son by what you intended to be his
first name.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah, I mean calling him by his middle name. I
just really like calling him by his first name, isn't it.
Wishing you all the best for the holiday season. Three
things to know today will return when we return from
vacation right after the New year.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Before you become a mother, Ladies, you don't know that
you're going to have this superpower. But once you become
a mother, you have a new superpower, and it is
to find anything in the house that you can find
anything that belongs to anybody, including your partner.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
That's what I think. And it just it.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Happened to me when we had kids, Murphy, when they
were little.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
You know, I knew where everything was.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, it freaks me out. Actually, the things that you know,
you see or whatever.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
It's like you're always scanning and everything just lands right.
We're supposed to be. Like I knew where the you know,
the missing pink sock was underneath the baby bed, and
even I pick it up right away, I knew it
was there. Things like that, Weird dumb things like that.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I walked in the room the other day, just a
couple of weeks ago. I remember I had that really bad
chest cold and all that, and and Jenny says, what
are you looking for? I'm like, I'm looking for mine healer.
I don't know where it is. It's on the table
by the bed. Oh okay, Well I.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Was just and subconsciously knew where it was.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I don't walk around with a you know, a checklist.
It just it just happens. It is a superpower. I
think it's a mom thing. I really do. And I
got to use my superpower last night, and I was
so excited to do it.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
On Taylor, our oldest who's living with us.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I don't know this outcome, but I know what was
missing in.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Her gap year. Yes, it was driving me nuts. So
she looked the day before that evening, very upset, and
she could not find her purse.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
She had borrowed a clear plastic bag of mine to
go to a concert, and then she just kept it.
She's like, I like this, can I just keep it?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
And she could not find it anywhere, and I said,
oh my gosh, check with your friends. When did you
last have it?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Well, I know I brought it home.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
We went, you know here, and when we were gone
out of town, Murphy and all of her friends were
at the house.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
She checked with all of her friends.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
I said, check your bank card now, and her nothing
had been spent on her card.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
So to me, it's at the house.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
She had checked her car but she couldn't find it,
and she had gone to work. She had to go
to work, and so I just went every looked all
over the house, and none of the obvious places. I
couldn't believe it, and I was not going to be
defeated as a mom with this superpower. I was watching
a football game and I was having those stressful moments.
I started pacing and I'm like, have I moved furniture?
(13:15):
The family room is where these kids land? And I
started looking under the sofa. Nothing, and then the place
what do you call that?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Aught is an ottoman?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, that you put your feet feet on.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
It had been moved because my feet wouldn't reach it.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I'm like, I bet you it's there, and do you
know it was exactly there underneath it?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
It was exactly there.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I picked that bag up and I walked to her
room and I knocked on the door like a victory, like.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Look at this.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah, So you will always have your mom's superpower or
just know it.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
And we're getting to some of your comments.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
This is from Leslie. Hi, guys, love your show.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
You were talking about tipping Uber and Lyft drivers. The
question do their tips get taxed as servers do and
should you tip them with cash instead of on the app.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Thanks, have a great day.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
That's a really good question. But if you go through
the app, they're going to be taxed because they get
taxed on whatever it is collected. It's an income they get.
The Uber drivers are ten ninety nine, right, so they'll
do that. The cash is a good question because I mean,
I assume they're supposed to report that. But but you know,
if to answer Leslie's question directly, if you want them
(14:36):
to get one hundred percent of the tip, then I
guess it would be cash.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
That's the trick.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But it's really difficult, I mean, especially Uber driving, Like
when we travel, it's not like I'm carrying a lot
of cash with me. I tend to want to use
the app tip and it's.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
A it's a business that we use with the app.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Some Uber drivers probably don't want to carry a whole
lot of cash too, for safety, you know what I mean.
Thank you, Leslie.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
This came in from Nora about our after the show
podcast on homemade Pimeno cheese, which it's it's our was
it two days ago or after the show podcast? It's
how my grandma grandmother made it very specific, getting down
and dirty with a really good homemade recipe. It's there,
and it's on our website too. Nora said, just finished
listening to the after the Show podcast, and here's the question.
(15:20):
When people make pimeno cheese with cream cheese, do they
use it instead of the mayo. I might like pimeno
cheese made with cream cheese instead of mayo.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I hate mannas, thank you, Nora. I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
The answer to that question is mayonnaise is still the
binding thing, and.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It would give it some flavor.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
It would give it would give it some binding, but
it's just one of the cheeses that some people put
in it.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
It's not the traditional way to make it. Yeah, you know,
it's traditional.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Cream cheese and cheese together is still cheese. It probably
wouldn't be smooth enough to spread, right.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You can use that, use the whip kind.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, the web kind.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I'm gonna shout out to that. You know, sometimes that
might be enough.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Otherwise it could come too wet, too fast.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You should.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
That. Yeah, too much mayo? You ever have that? I
mean in it you make a tuna salad or chicken salad.
All it takes is one dollar too mini, and you've
got suit to.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Add more meat.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's all a balancing game, Nora.
I don't think it means as a substitution, but of
course you can try and recommended.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I would recommend whipped.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Eight seven seven three one zero for MSJ to jump
in anytime.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Hi Michael, Hey, now, hey, what's up?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Okay, Hey, he's calling about your uh, your Uber segment
you had earlier left and all that. Yes, I was
an Uber driver in Nashville. Uh huh for say twenty
sixteen eighteen. My ChiPT getting all these notices that I
was one of the top drivers, the best commented on
(16:55):
and everything, but specifically with chips were expected tips. But
they were rolling in. I about making bank. So the
riders would tell me that they look how clean my
car was, how my car smelled, and I went to
great links to make it that way. And I always
(17:15):
had like the eighties music just playing softly. Yeah, engage
them in conversation. I was being nice, but yeah, I
was making the bank. And they would tell me about
other Uber rides that they had done and what a
nightmare it was, how the car smelled or or the
people just weren't engaging them in conversation. Sure, And I
believe it's all in the driver. I believe it's all
(17:36):
in how you present yourself and how you, you know,
give them their rides.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Listen to you. You're thinking of things that I would
think of too. The way it smells, the way it feels,
Is it hot, is it cold? Is the person nice?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
All of that? Is it the ride jerky? Is it smooth?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
I mean, it seems like a lot, but it does
matter when you get out of the ride, when it's
time for you to leave a review or even a tip.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Have you experienced your car as a rider, not just
a driver.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
And then, like I said, I went to great links
like I would make sure. I thought, like the list
of fogger you can buy for your car, where you
get out of the car, you set your conditioner on,
I and all that and it makes the whole car.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So great cool.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'm gonna look that up.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
You know, Nashville, you get all kinds of singer songwriters
and you learn a little bit about what actually goes on.
They actually have houses full of people that they pay
just to write songs.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
You know, of course, that town is made of money
which comes from lyrics, right.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Right, Love Nashville, Love nash I only moved away because
I got married Kelly. Reason really, otherwise I'd be up there.
You making that bank money to.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Be made, of course, of course, especially when you do
the kind of customer service that you offered money. I'm
right right, Thank you for the call.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Love hearing from you there.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Send anything any time, Jana send this email in parenting
tips please, Okay, how do you parent a mini version
of yourself? My family has passed on, so no one
to ask how they dealt with my sweet but challenging
attitude as a teenager.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Lol.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Single parent flying solo with a super lighthearted, fun parenting style.
That's from Jana. How does parent a mini version of
yourself if you have a little bit of a teenage
attitude coming at you?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I have a suggestion on that, Okay, Murph, because it
actually can be a benefit. Nobody knows you better than you,
and so if you already know you, then that means
you also know what to anticipate. It also means you
probably can empathize with the situation if you stop and
really consider, Okay, this person's like me if I were
(19:56):
in this situation. How would I be acting? And then
you can handle that without being bad. It's so weird
because you know, like personalities do tend to clash for
whatever reason. But if you if you take a breath
and then really take a look at what's going on
in the situation and put yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
There back up several years, that would be my thought.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Like a fantasy world.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Sam, do you have any Do I have any kids
that are me?
Speaker 6 (20:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
No, no no, But advice wise kind of what Murphy
is saying. I mean, if you know it worked when
you were a kid, if something worked on you and
your daughter's like you, then maybe it'll work on her okay,
or if it didn't work, don't do it right. That's
more of a dad perspective, is Jody, You're you're the
(20:43):
actual mom in the room.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
If it changes the perspective, because we're all parents. But
for me, it's take pause. Learn to take pause. The
first time attitude comes at you, it almost hurts. It
does hurt, you know, Uh, Moms and dads have feelings too,
and nobody can hurt your feelings like your kids. So
take pause and realize they're not trying to hurt you.
(21:07):
They're teenagers. And it's their job to begin to lash out.
And it's going to sound like a weird piece of advice,
but you can also take it almost as a compliment.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
If they're that comfortable with you to treat you that way,
they know you.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Are solid to them. Does that make sense. Yeah, a
safe place.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
And don't get down on the teen level. Oh no, no,
I'm trying to go back and forth.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Yeah, take that breath and remember that you have to
be the adult and it will pass. They will grow
into adults.
Speaker 1 (21:35):

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, and send us anything anytime. We love having yellong
