Speaker 1 (00:01):
Jody, I think I've already got my Friday favorite.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And it's only Monday, Sam, it is just Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
But I've seen this one popped up and I had
to listen to it, and I was laughing, and for
some reason, I kept thinking of you, Jody. It's this
guy who has his his Okay, when you're when your
washing machine starts getting out of whack. You know, I'm
a spin cycle and it makes that noise and you
run in there and you straighten everything out. Yeah, this
guy grabs a guitar instead. He starts playing music to
his h his washing machine. That's you know, you see
(00:30):
here's washer okay.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It sounds like Johnny Cash to close.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Is this Georgia the Devil went down with Georgia.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He loob waiting.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Man and gave him the perfect back beat.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I know, but it's like fix the thing or it's
gonna break, it's gonna get off, you know. And then
so while I was watching his video over in the
right hand side, and he's apparently got his own channel.
He does this a lot. He's got another song that
you know, Jody, you might find this one is sacker List.
His washer's going off in the background. Got the guitar.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I know this.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Like another good beat man. He's awesome, and.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
He's probably broken this dryer five time.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
He's doing laundry wash washer on me.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I love that kind of creativity. You know, the next
time that our our washing machine gets off kilter like that, Jody,
we'll have to figure out.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
We'll send their right exactly You and I can't do that, right.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Sam our Piggy Gaga, the one eyed one Underpug.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yes, he's one of our pack of four.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
She's awesome.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
She is doing very well right now, and we can't
even believe it. She did survive that most recent emergency
of that trip.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Which wasn't lockjob at an absess.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
No, it wasn't even that.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Look, here's the story on Piggy when we when we
rescued her, when we adopted her, she already was in
a situation. It wasn't great. She'd kind of been overbred,
and then we found out she had she had heartworms
and some heart damage. Was like okay, So when we
got her, it was like a totally misrepresented.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Wait, why are you laughing at overbread?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
It means that she was forced to have a bunch
of puppies many times.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It sounds corporates a misrepresented dog. Well, look, they lied
to you about.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
The dog's been through a lot in her life.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
So we just decided we're going to give her a
comfortable existence for the rest of her life.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
We didn't know how long that would be. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And three years ago she had she had the bowel
thing that almost killed her. As you remember, they were gonna.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
We were gonna, we we were gonna put her down,
and then she bounced back and it's like, okay, you're
coming home.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
A year ago, she's her eye popped out. Let me
rephrase that, and so surgically that's been fixed.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, so she's been over Brad had ball issues. She's deaf,
Can I give you the update?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Mostly deaf and mostly blind in one eye, the one
eye that's left.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
But anyway, she.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Is the most incredible story and she's the funniest spirit ever.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
She does. She's sweet in miyed.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
When I picked her up from the vet yesterday, it's like, Okay,
there's some sort of byroid issue. They're putting her on
medicine for it. And once she's on this medicine for
a while, she should be back to herself. But on
the way home, they said, look, her heart rate's really
slow and her paws or her little feet are cold.
And I thought, that's not good. Heart rates slow and
(03:48):
your extremities are cold, and oh my gosh, we're taking
her home, you know, to make her comfortable.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
They said, you don't have any rhythm. I said, I
don't know. I've seen her dance.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
She's fine now. She is back to her old self.
I'm feeding her canned food only.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Exactly as her old self.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
She's so happy that when she wags that tailor behind sways,
I mean, she's all happy, even though she can't hear
and see. She's happy.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I've switched her to canned food because of some of
her teeth issues. Is a soft, soft food, and she
likes it so much. She is snorting like the pig
that she is. And again, it is so funny. I
don't even know, Like I won't believe it one day
when she does leave us, I won't believe it's true,
Like it'll take me twenty four hours to believe it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But isn't that good? That's the And again she's like
the happy ending big surprise dog. It's liking the cartoons
when the angel came out of the body and number
four just out of the life.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
We love having you along.
Speaker 5 (04:40):

Speaker 3 (04:50):
It's shine for the producer's nailed David. What's in your
bag today?
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Christy says, I just need to know if I'm missing something.
I listen to you guys on the podcast, and recently
a woman called in and said that she loves the
show as do I and said that she listens to
y'all all day. Sweet, my podcasts are only generally about
forty five to forty eight minutes from each day. Can
y'all just confirm that I'm not crazy? Or are you
(05:15):
guys online twenty four to seven?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Well, online is always on, yeah, but we're not on
all day.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Twenty four to seven is the same forty five minutes
over and over and over.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
If somebody listens to us all day, they probably listened
to us in the morning in their busy morning schedule
and then grab the rest of it or whatever the
podcast later in the day.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah. Wait, just don't want you to miss anything, that's why.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Or you listen to the radio station all day. It's
cool too.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah, so that's what that means, Risty. Well, online life
is always on.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Thank you, Christy.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
And this next message comes to us from Canada, Lana,
and she says, Hey, MSJ team, you guys. Rock just
wanted to let you guys know that y'all are played

Cafe in Dawson's Creek, b See, Canada.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, the TV shows Dawson's Creek. This is Dawson.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
We're not talking about the TV show here that No,
Murphy couldn't help them.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Sencer pronunciation era my fast. She said.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
This place is also famously known for being miles zero
of the Alaska Highway.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Cheers.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Hey, I just went to the Facebook page, Sam. They
have a whole tray of sliced bacon, or as they saying,
French bacon, tronchet slice of bacon bacon. It's not just
about bacon. When I'm moon pies, chocolate, strawberries, what kind
of bacon, is that though, Because this is Canada, you know,
(06:45):
is that Canadian's bacon. They've got their menu online too.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
We're gonna stop listening to us Baked Club, all right?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Read it back in, man, really, back in.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You're excited. Thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
We appreciate you so much.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Reach out anytime you can go online call her text
and Facebook page. You can reach us there and on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Jody, I haven't explained this to you, haven't told you
about this yet, because I kind of feel like a
fool for doing this.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I sought to be good.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Well, I mean, as you know, at the end of
last week, I took her oldest daughter down to the DMV,
got her learning her drivers permit. Yes, all right, all
of that went very smoothly.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You only have to wait like an hour.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It wasn't bad at all. It was actually quite the
pleasant experience. I'm just saying, I'm on a roll here.
I'm not everything I hear from everybody else about this.
It was a fantastic experience. So but on the way there,
this is just one of those ironic moments, Jody says,
I'm a walking paradox because I'm mister safety. But I'm
not really mister safety, even though I really try to be.
(07:47):
And so as Taylor and I are going, you know,
she's in the passenger seat with me, and we're driving,
and for some reason the way that traffic stacked up.
I kind of got into a weird spot in the
left turn lane and left turn lane was a protect
an arrow and so as I literally was turning onto
the street, but the DMV is on the light.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Turned red, ran a red light.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I was in the middle of the I couldn't do anything,
and the camera that takes the picture shot a picture
of me. So I'm actually going to pay a fine
for running a red light on the way to the DMVA. Yes,
And I had to admit to it immediately. It's like, baby,
all right, this is what not to do, you know.
And it was just one of those bad I just
(08:31):
I guess I misjudged. I was already fortunate events. I
was in the lane, I was trying to get through
where traffic was and I mean, and.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
It just, mister safety, you have more tickets and violations
than I do since we've been married.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Oh what have you been? Guess what you just passed me?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I just felt horrible about that time that I didn't
fully stop and got a picture taken.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And that's happened a few times to you.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
No, no, I'm once.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
No, it's happened twice and don't remember it. Yes, it
was twice.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Remember you were drunk.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
The last time. It was one of those where I
thought I had, you know, made a mistake. And so
when it came in the mail, I'm like, oh, here
it is. I knew this was coming. And then it
was Jody again. But yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
And then I can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I know. That's that's two and six months.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I feel like, what did Taylor say? That's what I
want to know.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, I guess because I was honest and truthful and
I didn't try to cover it. You know, it was
this is a mistake, baby, this is what not to do.
And how ironic it's on the way to pick up
your that's I know. Oh and the one thing that
jumped out of my dresser, I found my driver's license
that was lost after all of that that I went
through thinking I had it was at home. So now
I have two.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I know, mister safety has two licenses.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And maybe you didn't know that you can actually see
what you hear by subscribing the Murphy Sammy Jonah YouTube channel.
Somebody had the bright idea to put cameras in this
place and so away we can't do anything. That's another
way you can keep up with what's going on Murphy Syman, Joey,
even though you can always keep up on Facebook, Instagram.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Also, if you don't know who Clyde Stubblefield was, he
was James Brown's drummer back in the day.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh really, okay, one of the stories he could have told.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I mean, he played on Sex Machine, he played on
I've Got the Feeling, He's got on all the big hits. Yeah,
and he played on a song called Funky Drummer. And
this is his lick.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah. And you know what, my friend Randy, when he
first started playing drums, did this lick.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And well, the great thing about this lick is it's
been sampled well over a thousand times on separate songs.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Lick. He came up with this lick.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, if you look at James the song you know
from James Brown, he does. He's not getting any credit
for writing this lick on their so don't know how
much he's made over the years, okay, but people have
sampled it like L L Cool Jay, I didn't know, okay,
my different different people have taken it and slowed it
(10:57):
down and sped it up to sample it. Jody when
he your favorites. George Michael did it on Freedom nineties.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Boom. It's good stuff right there.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Youn't have thought that. But that James Brown.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
You tell me he got credit and money every time
that happened.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
He wasn't given writing credit, so I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
And even when you create something, you own it period.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Even recently with the Ed Sheeran on the Multiplication album,
the song shirts Leaves you.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Can taste so multi boom and again, no wonder. I
love that song so much. It's multiplied by the way
the album is.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Multiple, multiply, divide x ten whatever, Okay, Anyway, I just
want everybody, you know, Clyde Stubblefield, if you've ever heard
that lick, and I know you have heard it before.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And every James Brown song had that lick.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah, I feel good, all right, It's very funky. We
like it a lot.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It helpful moms and dads who are taking their oldest
out for that first time driving. Oh, the whole permit
experience and all that. And since Jodi and I are
doing that with our oldest daughter Taylor, I actually discovered
something this week and I think it is really cool
and awesome and probably helpful of you're in that situation.
And we'll do that after the show and the merby
Sam and Jody podcast today. It's something exclusively when you subscribe.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Speaking of driving, Sam.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, here's what I on twist. Sam got himself in
a pickle. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I found myself on a National Parkway, which is a
federal highway, I guess, different than being on the interstate
or just being in the state highways.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yes, yes, driving to the National park.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Right, And the speed limit was fifty on this this roadway?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
And so what were you going?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
And I was not doing fifty? I mean there are
very few cars. I was doing eighty. I'll admit I.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Was doing Sam, What whoa that? Sorry?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Okay, when I'm on an interstate at seventy, I'm usually
doing you know that much?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, but this wasn't an interstate.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, I know, And so uh.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Let me say this wait wait wait, we knew he
was taking this little trip, and I feel like I
remember a halfway overheard you telling him to watch his
speeding on there right.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Well, it was the saying that, yeah, I mean because
national parks, A, they're national parks, but but yeah, I
mean it's federal and the you know, the park rangers
absolutely enforced the speed limits, and is I understand it.
Usually the finds and other things are a lot more intense.
So was just passing a cautionary tale.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
To you and Jody the reason you ever heard that
conversation as Murphy has been on the same roadway doing
about the same.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
H Actually, I hate to break it to you, I
wasn't that fast.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay, So anyway, yeah, I was warned about the park rangers,
you know, and so you really, I'm sad to say.
When I hear the word park ranger, I think of
you know, Ranger Smith and Yogi Bear and you know.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Well, see that's what got you the ticket.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Right there, saying tooling along and I see all the
flashing lights behind me one or two. You got a
bunch of lights on his on his little suv, his
real highranger suv. Okay, so he pulls me over. I
was like, yeah, oh, I know I'm speeding. I wasn't
going to argue it.
Speaker 8 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
So I go to get out the car, you know,
and it's like, get back in the car, sir, Yeah, actually,
So I get in. He comes up to the passenger
side window and says, you realize you were doing I
was like, sounds about right. And I gave him the
paperwork and all that. I get back and he comes
back and reminds me that the rest of the way
it's fifty And I was like, got your chief.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Did you say sorry? Were you like Paula?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, yes, sir, I didn't say give me the thing.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Good.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So you know, I get the chicken. I look down
at it and Murphy, like you said, I had heard
on this stretch of roadway. It's expensive. Five hundred dollars.
We're going eight and fIF not just that, plus a
thirty dollars administrative fee.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yes, I'm guessing you won't be doing this again.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I'm finding a different route next time.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
We love hearing from you. Join us anytime. You can
call or text. This number is eight seven seven three
to one zero for ms J Hi Melita.
Speaker 9 (14:59):
Yeah, oh my day. Are you doing?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
We're good? How are you today?
Speaker 9 (15:07):
Oh? My God, I'm excited. I are you talking to you.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
On the phone? Oh sweet, are you driving right now? Okay?
Speaker 9 (15:15):
You I'm hearing you.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
No, I just wanted to make sure you're you're careful.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
I'm very careful. I'm very careful.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Okay, cool? Well, straight shot? Oh good? Well, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (15:26):
You were talking about teaching your daughter how to drive
and get her permit everything, and some of the things
that you said about taking her to the parking lot area,
let her drive around the sparking lot and everything. I
did that with my daughter when I was teaching her
how to drive. I took it to the school, her
(15:47):
high school, and the parking spaces. I use that markers
for the Kennedy other cars, And every time she would
get close to that line or even in the line,
I'm like, okay, you hit a car. We need to
say yeah, you know, keep it straight. And she's the
kind of person who's really hard on us, you know,
before we get prime of you. I gotta feature how
(16:09):
to calm down and not be so critical of what
she's doing and don't get full of fish. I don't know,
we're gonna learn and.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Throw them through I told I tell Taylor the other day.
This is one of the hardest things you'll ever have
to learn to do it, Melita.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
Yes, it was a pleasure of meeting you.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Nervous.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
It's just a wonderful, wonderful person. You and and the
guys there.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Thank you, look call us anytime. He're so sweet.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I totally relate to what you said about her daughter
being harder herself, because you know, our oldest tailor is
that way too, and that's what I think. It's natural.
And you know what, I what I realized just the
other day is she's learning the vehicle itself, and she's
having to learn the road at the same time. That's
a lot. So we're just kind of staying in the
neighborhood right now now that she's got her permit and
focusing on the vehicle, if that makes any sense, and
(17:04):
then once she gets more comfortable that then we'll kind
of expand.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But I think she's being hard on herself too, because
she's trying to prove the dad that she can do it.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes, maybe so, but it's a good pair and it's
actually worked out.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Run.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I'm very calm. I think I'm very supportive.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
No, no, no, I don't mean just because it's you.
I just mean, if you know you're driving with your parents,
you're trying.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
To prove its lou pressure and do yeah. I think
so for all of.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Your life you want to please your parents. So yeah,
Melita loved hearing from you. Eight seven seven three one
zero four six seven five.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So, Jody, I'm a little self conscious about something that
I think it should be over with by now. I
should be over I mean when I work out and.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Are you wearing those black socks with those one to
stop that? Baby. I know it's not supposed to matter,
but it does a little bit.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You're wearing your coaches shorts. Again.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I pack a you know, a little bag, and it's
not like over the top. I'm not the pure pinnacle
of health, but I do work out. It's kind of
a weight training thing twice a week.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
None of us are the pinnacle.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
The guy I work with, his name is Paul, he's
been I've worked with him, worked out with him now
for like seven years, and so it's a regimen that's
important to me.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
But I've also been doing a relationship.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yes, and I've been doing this long enough that I
should never, you know, feel a pressure from those people
who are working out around me, namely to impress. Right, so,
but you know, I mean, as it would happen. Yesterday,
rather attractive woman walked in. I think she's probably in
her early thirties, and you know I'm sitting there, you know,
(18:28):
bench pressing my four hundred pounds. Yeah right, no, so
well I wasn't doing that, but you know it just
at that moment, it wasn't like self conquious, but I'm
like it is it occurred to me in a second
to suck the gut in a little bit?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Is you want to say that it's not make.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Sure that if I'm supposed to do fifteen, that I
don't start grunting at twelve and stop at thirteen.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
If you're supposed to do fifteen, you start counting it seventeen, it's.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
One hundred and fifty. What is your question?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
But what I mean, I have been working for so
long and that doesn't really bother me. I'm happily married
to Jodie for eighteen years. You know, I don't feel
this pressure to appeal to others. But for some reason,
you have a moment where you're like, I don't want
to look like I'm.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Not got to strut like the peacocks, just being human.
Everybody's self conscious, you know it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
You're not a little bit self conscious. There's probably something
a little wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I mean, because I've done stupid things like tripping on
the yoga mat on the way to get water, or
going to the water dispenser and pulling that ten cups
when it's only supposed to be one.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
And thinking about it is she's probably feeling the same thing.
She's probably walking in a certain way, sucking it in.
You know, working out is a very personal thing, very personal.
One time, the last.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Thing she was kind of carrying herself like I was
gonna ask does she have anything to suck in?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
She's like, I'm all that and a bag of chips.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Murphy's going, hmm, yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
I guess truly that would be freedom is to not
that's freedom, and that's what you hope for, at least
by a certain point in your life that you don't
care what other people think.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Actually, I just remember what it was. It really caused
me to be super self conscious. She said that she
was celebrating her dirty thirty thirtieth birthday. I dropped the
dumbells at that point.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Everybody probably coming up in the next five minutes with
Murphy Salmon jokes. She don't have to know why I'm
nervous to talk to the sixth graders at school tomorrow. Really,
Phoebe asked me the other day, Hey, mom, would you
come read to my classic?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Are youngest and she is our sixth grader.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I have not done that in a few years because
I haven't been asked this year.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I haven't had the I.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Haven't asked you back, huh, not since that fiasco.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
No, I think anyway, we show up and they give
you a book. You have to read what they give
you because it's usually related to something else they're doing.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
And that's fine. That was remember to.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Read it and don't do your own spin on the story. Yeah,
I don't do that.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Don't use voices.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
So President Lincoln.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Said score and seven. All we know now from the
movie he actually had highways ago.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I don't know what book I'm going to be given yet,
and this is tomorrow. But two things last time I read,
and I did you know, ha, that's cute, and that
I was stopping comment keep a little just a little commentary.
But afterwards I didn't realize they were going to take
an ar quiz on what I had read them wait
to help me out ar accelerated reader, okay, so making
sure that they followed the story comprehended. So this time,
(21:35):
if they're gonna have to do that, I'm definitely going
to stick to the script and going to read.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
The book definitely.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
The other thing is that she's in sixth grade. Now,
I'm surprised that I was asked to come read. I
don't know, I just didn't expect it's this is the
age where it's not necessarily cool that mom shows up
to read, right, I mean, Phoebe is excited and wants
me to.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I had a college professor that used to read you
know to the class as part of the lecture, so
I think it works for any age that he'd used voices.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
No, I'm just saying that it's for crowd reading.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Everybody reading together in class themselves.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
It's a tougher crowd. They're not like, oh yay excited.
You never know, there's a lot of sixth grade is
a is a tough place sometimes something, and Phoebe's gonna
be excited them there because she asked me to please
come do it.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
So I reached out to the teacher.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
So I'm doing it, but I just feel like it's
a tougher crowd and guess probably nervous.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
If they're more familiar with the big words. You gotta
be on your cover than me. Right, call her text anytime.
We love to hear from you. Eight seven seven three
one oh four ms J. That's three wins zero four
ms J. And you can also leave a message in
case we miss each other.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
We're discussing man friends man friendships and how they're different
than the lady friendships. I will say I've always admired
the long lasting like he's my friend, that's why, and
he always is my friend even if I don't think
of him for six months like that.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
That's what baffles me about.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
The lack of you know, interaction that you can have
with somebody you still call your friend.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Well, the thing is there as long as it's somebody
who's been it's been good to you and you're good
to them. Yeah, I think loyalty is what lasts, right, listen.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
To you talking just like Red and Andy Dufrayne. That's right, Okay,
my friends. So the deal is Oxford University found that
for men to have a strong friendship. You really need
face to face time. That's what makes a friendship really
really strong.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
This is for all men. This isn't just for British men.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Since this is Oxford, right, it's all men.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
How is that different from women? Though I don't understand
why we.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Women can have strong relationships over long conversations of texting, whatever,
social media. They consider that a strong relationship if it's
somebody that gets them. And but for men, if you
feel strongly about it's somebody that you actually get to
spend time with. You get to see, you shake a hand,
you get to watch a game together.
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Game.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So you're saying it's easy to kind of get lost
in the rest of your life and even though you're
still friends, you may not actively think about it.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Well, I will say this, and my observation of men
over the years, not just you.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I didn't realize you were a men observer like this, Jody,
of course.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I'm a creature.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Of My observation is that it's not where you if
you are given free time. I mean, let's just say
you having a whole free weekend, you don't think to
go there right off the baseball bat like I would.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I'd be like, Oohm, call my girls.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
You know what, You're right about that. I think I'm
a type a personality though. That's my problem. It's like, oh,
it's project time. Do the things that don't get to
do Monday through Friday. You're right, Jody, And sometimes I
don't stop to go wait, I need social time.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Right, you don't think to reach out to you?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Let me call up the guys.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Here's another another reason that you guys, your romance here
is strong because you see each.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Other every day.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well, that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I don't know if you mind me calling in the
romance bathwall.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I mean we know each other's sense of humor. I'll
send Sam text and all that kind of stuff when
we're not here.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You didn't know that, did you?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Oh? I know it. I'm aware.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Reach out anytime now. Eight seven seven three and zero
four m s. J.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Angel Toler thinks the new driver. I'm an X State
trooper and I'm a truck driver, and I teach truck
having now and you know, experienced drivers, we build what
we call muscle memory. So you know, for us to
drive and listen to the radio, we can multi tas
Because when you've got a turn signal or whatever. We
(25:24):
don't really have to think about it so much because
it's the natural thing, is muscle memory, you know. But
when a new driver comes on, they don't. They have
to think about it more so when you have you know,
there's more than just a self one. I have a
distractor and radio, passengers and whatnot. My resignations has always saying,
like me, firstly, I tell you at least six months
no radio, no passenger.
Speaker 9 (25:45):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yes, once once they get their own license and they
get their own car, they go to school and back,
their friends want to catch a ride or whatever, it's
trust me, it becomes a big distractor, right yeah. And
then uh, the radio if you want to try to stop,
get him out in the park lot and you glare
the radio on him and have them drive.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah, it's so true.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
It's I can't I cannot tell you how many times
the kids have been loud in the back seat where
I stop the car and I'm like, I can't do this,
You've got to stop, and they don't because they've never driven.
They don't understand, and it's okay, that's life. One day
something will happen in the back seat of her car.
Some noise and she'll realize, oh my mom wasn't crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Angel.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
I'll tell you what with her, with her getting her permit.
That you're right about the rules that just come to
your mind. Naturally. I can't imagine when she first starts
driving on her own and leaving the house and I'm
watching out of the window. I feel like, right off
the bat, I'm going to have a rule that you
don't get You don't get gas by yourself, yet, certainly
(26:52):
don't get gas at night.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
We're gonna have rules like that at first. Yeah, are
you driving right now? Sam wants to know.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I got you speakers.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Oh oh yeah, good.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Thank you for what we'll do.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Thank you appreciation, Joe.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
We appreciate the call. And you know it's funny Sam,
since I'm doing the driving with Taylor right now. Jody
will eventually do that, but that is what we're doing.
No radio, really, no other distractions, just just focus on
the road and focus on the driving.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Why you won't let me come along?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
So we were planning something on a day that was
like wide open many many weeks ago, and then all
of a sudden, when you get to that day, it's
too crowded to what you're originally playing, and it usually
happens with something sadly that is is personal or you know,
something I want to do that's just extra beyond the
scope of work.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
So until you have to do right with a friend.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Or something like that, Mark screws it up. Well, what
happened today, and it is nobody's fault for this. I
picked a day in the future, is like, okay, that
day is clear. Nothing ever happens on Mondays. And so
lunch with a friend that I haven't seen in a
very long time was scheduled for today. I'd already put
them off twice, and now today has turned out to
be one of those days.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
You have to put him on off again. Well you
have to.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
No, I decided not to put him off. It's like,
that's not really fair. I made the commitment to him
just because it's inconvenient for me, you know today personal level.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Just sit down and start with that.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Remind him of that at lunch. You know, this is
very inconvenient, But how have you been It's.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Not his fault, though you know it's not. It's truely,
things that got scheduled at work, you know, one is
a call, the other is something I'm supposed to be
attending person.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
That's Murphy's law.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Boy, Yes, to the total degree, You're right, it is,
and it's just it's weird. It's it never fails though
that that happens. Is that because we just tend to
cram too much in one day now?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Or is that the world or once to everybody? I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
It's how you lay out your life. Some of it
you're not in control of. You got to do what
you got to do. You have to do the work
that is, that is the work of your life. But
you also cannot be a slave to that because that's
not living your life. Yeah, you know, that's a whole
balance issue.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Well, and there was a book I read a long
time ago that talked about knowing when to say no
to things so that you don't overschedule. But I think
that's a bigger challenge today then it's ever been, because
there's some things that it appears you can't say no to,
you know what I mean, depending on your goals.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yes, if you like to have a job and make money,
there's certain people you can't say no to.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Right right, right, So it may today just wound up
that way, but you know, I realized it's like, Okay,
you know what, I'm not going to let it stress me.
That will probably be It'll be good time well spent
with this person I haven't seen in a while. Yeah,
and I'll still get everything done and at the end
of the day, it'll be a balanced day, right, Joe.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Yeah, you need to do it, and don't I mean,
I hope he's not hearing this.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Oh I didn't think about it. So anyway, maybe they'll
cancel one. You now looking forward to lunch?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Things were doing that to make our dogs misbehave boom.
As soon as I saw this, I thought, we've got
to discuss them. America is full of homes with dogs
and busy, busy people and the dogs when they misbehave,
you're like, why are you doing this? And the thing
is you got to get in the side of ahead
of the dog.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Well, I was going to ask you, isn't this the
kind of thing that Caesar Milan saw for us like
ten ten years ago. It's true, it really is, you know,
I bet you. The biggest problem that we make though,
is the thing that Caesar says, we still because we
love our dogs, because we're emotional about it. We humanize them,
which is the wrong thing to do.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
I don't know if that's maybe it is a deep
at the deep root of this dog psychology.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
We expect it to be like people, the things.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
That we're doing to make them misbehave. I remember, I'm
going to click here and watch it spin and wait
for it to open up.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And I did.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
And the number one on the list was they're not
getting enough exercise. A dog who's exercised, run around, played fetch,
walked on a leash as often as needed will not
misbehave and necessarily tell your tear your house up or
they need that just like we all do.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Yeah, stored up energy, it's true, and you got.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
To be careful what you need to know about the
level of energy with the breed. I mean, I have
friends who love labs and know this. Most labs are
high energy. Border colleigues are working dogs. They are meant
to be like obstacle horse working dogs. If you get
one of those and you leave it at home all day,
you're going to come home to an upside down house.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You know, things like that.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
But there's a list of things, the other one being
you haven't trained them enough you train them to not
go in the house. Hopefully you poty train them, and
then you end it there. And if that's all you
want to do, that's fine. Sometimes that's all I want
to do. I don't need a dog to do stuff
for me. But they like to do that. They like
to kind of serve their humans.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Well, it's not about teaching tricks as much as it
is showing them how to behave they fallow leaders. That's
what they are, you know.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Yeah, they're packed. They're pack animals. And Murphy's so true
about this, and I completely mess this up all the time.
You know, Murphy's like, you have to be consistent with
the dog. Apparently a lot of little things I'm doing wrong.
Murphy's more Caesar and I'm more the problem at our house.
We'll tell you about that. And another one of the
big rules of why your dog maybe you know, misbehaving
something that you're doing.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
We'll do that.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Next. Five things that we humans do that are making
our dogs misbehave. The number one I knew it was
kind of no, duh, I'm kind of a crazy dog person.
Is that they need exercise and they don't get exercise.
Whether that's you throwing a frisbee for them, or taking
them to a dog park or walking them. They've got
(32:10):
all this pent up energy, and a dog with pent
up energy is gonna do something with it.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah, they act out, I mean they sometimes it's chewing
on things. Sometimes it's not listening. Sometimes it's actually you know,
even though you got a potty train, they still use
the bathroom in the house.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I know, psychology just does that.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
And I haven't figured it out, but I yeah, you know,
I know you're saying, if the energy, if he doesn't,
if he doesn't expel his energy, Gus, he's gonna there's
a chance he might do stiff.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Just behave right, Sam.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
I've had a lot of problems lately with Gus chewing
up my baseball caps. Oh really, and yeah, and it's
like and it's these are like favorite baseball caps that
apparently I put.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
To well number one, you got to put them up.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, I've learned this lesson. And then flip flops too.
He's doing that. But I realized, and I maybe Caesar
would tell me, no, this is not true. But I
think it's because Gus misses me. M. I mean, maybe
I'm reading too much into this, But it's like, well,
why does he go just because he could get a
dish rag or he could get you know, a tuppleware
that's empty on the counter, but he goes for my
stuff and chews it up.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
That's weird. That's interesting, you know, And it's it's funny
because since we have multiple dogs, I do believe that
dogs perform better in a pack. But look, not everybody
can have more than one dog. Not everybody wants to
have more than one dog does. But that's what we
found is when there are when there's more than one,
there's a pack of mentality. They follow each other. It's
(33:28):
their natural environment. You know, when Gus is about to
go get that shoe, the other dog goes, Hey, wait
a second. I wouldn't do that if I were you
happened last time.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
Probably a dog, A person who's really an expert would say,
maybe not, But I'm with you. I think he loves you,
and he it smells like your hat, certainly smells like
you and your shoe. So yeah, maybe there's something about
where's my owner? I need to smell him? Oh my gosh,
let me chew his hat up.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Put your hats away.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Sam, Maybe you ought to chew on some of his
things and show them the other thing.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
They do need chew toys. They need things to occupy them.
If you can't take them out, you know it's true. Anyway,
go get the official expert list of things that dogs
are doing their misbehave. What we're doing that causes them
to misbehave when we are gone, Murphy Samon Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
I need a little help or suggestions or if anybody
has gone through this now there has nothing to do
with ex wives either. Uh okay, that's relief. That's wide
open now. The past couple of weeks at home, I'm
having some trouble shaking some dreams. Oh and really yeah,
And it's not a specific dream like it's recurring like
my ghost dreams.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
This is like, that's right, because that's where you wake
up in the middle of the night.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Dream.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
These are dreams whatever the night, whatever the dream, oh
the night is it's with me all night long. And
I'm actually to the point now where even I'm I
can be laying there awake knowing that that as soon
as I fall back into sleep that dream.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
But I don't want that dream? And it's not like
it's a scary horror dream. It's just you know how
it's run its course. Yeah, it's like it's like it's
unconstant repeat, and it's like I've done the dream, I've
solved the problem. Let's move on to something else. And
it's like I'm conscious enough to know I don't want
to keep having this dream.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
But you still do.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
But and I don't know how. I don't know if
there's a solution, like get up, go outside, take a drink.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Do something, and tell you that you're asking people who
are unqualified because I know nothing about this. Can I'm
a psychologist to me right, that's a that's a specialty
for people who really know about what goes on when
we're when we're asleep.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
You need to speak to a professional.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I could assume. I mean, maybe I've heard that before.
Maybe maybe it's signaling to you that you're in a
rut in your life. Ah, you know, it could be
kind of inn les circle.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
The difference this time around, and as opposed to the
rest of the times I get stuck in dreams, is
it's like I'm conscious that, Okay, it's there, and I
can't shake it. And I've never been conscious about the
dream I'm having that It's like, you know it's going
to be here and you're thinking of trying to not
think about it, but it's still there too smart and
it tries me insane. And then of course that leads
(36:09):
to you know, not being able to fall back to
sleep because I know waiting for me on the other side.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Well, at least it's not scary. Yeah, you know what
I mean, if you're being chased by a monster or
something like that, I would be paniced not go back
to even if it's boring. At least at least it's boring.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Any professionals want to help eight seven seven three one
oh four msj or as Jody would say, eight seven
seven three one zero.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
I want to tell you a little story that happened
this weekend. This is so cute to me. I can't
stand it. I don't know if your kids are this
way or if you you know, pick up on this.
Sam Okay. So, Taylor and Phoebe have always been very close,
our girls. They're they're best friends and our ch enemies
depending on what day it is and what's going on.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
And we're lucky about that with them being three and
a half years apart.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
And so Phoebe, who recently turned twelve, a phone, and
she does exactly what we thought she'd do with it.
She texts a few of us and then she shoots videos.
That's how she uses her phone. She sends me pictures.
She's way about the emojis. It's very fun. Well, so
she spent the night with a friend the other night,
and I totally expected to get a phone call the
(37:20):
next morning, Hey mom, good morning, what are you doing,
because that's who she is.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
She used to do that.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
She used to use the mom's phone call. I hear
Taylor the next morning in her room on the phone.
Taylor's never on the phone unless it's like a FaceTime.
They don't actually talk on my phone. Phoebe didn't call me.
Phoebe didn't call Murphy. She called Taylor and they spent
fifteen twenty minutes just catching up. What'd you have waffles?
What'd you guys do? We did this and it was
(37:47):
so sweet. A part of me was hurt that she
didn't call me because I used to be the person
that she called. But she called Taylor and they did
the whole catch up.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yeah, that is so super sweet by itself, and she.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Hung up, and I literally looked at my phone and
waiting waiting for her to call me, and she did not.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Do you think that's a girl thing too?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Possibly?
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Because I mean my boys, whenever they've spent the night anywhere,
I never get a call in the morning. Yeah, it's
like you always have to call over there. Are they
up yet? Can I come and get who is?
Speaker 5 (38:15):
That's good too, And that's good in a different way.
But you know, Taylor has always been able to be
there for her, and it's true for both of them.
It works both ways in ways that we can't. Yeah,
sibling thing is it?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Also? I get a text every so often that says, hey,
Dad is mom around trying to catch up with Jody
anyway they can.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
I may callmade macaroni and cheese at the house a lot,
and I don't use a recipe anymore. I used the
several different recipes here and there, and I decided, you
know what, I'm gonna make my own. I know what
to do, I know what basic stuff goes in right
the girls. We went out to eat recently and Taylor
ordered some macaroni and cheese with and it came with
breadcrumbs on top of that. Yeah, yeah, and that's the
(39:00):
exactly what she did, the whole meal. It's the best ever.
So I made macarani cheese last night, and guess what
Mama threw on top of their paint go breadcrumbs.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Because there's not already enough carb in the dish.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Well, what just a little topping?
Speaker 2 (39:14):
It was awesome? How did I not realize that that's
what you did? I just thought it was like, wow,
the cheese is just all nice.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Thought the cheese was crunching, And you're wrong. That was
breadcrumbs mixed with cheese. And you know what, it did work.
So when you make it, do you use sam bread crumbs?
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I'm the person that I was previously married to used
to make homemade and she would make it with bread
crumbs and the kids would complain, so we'd have like
half bread crumbs half not Oh I had it with
bread crumbs.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, she's out of the house, so are the bread crumbs.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, I'm using this blue box of things.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Okay, here's what I'll do that. Oh with that, I
know our kids love the blue box too. Anyway, I'll
put on my macaronie cheese recipe the way I make it,
which is kind of just like my own method. We'll
put it online, but now we've added breadcrumbs Murphysamon Jody
dot com.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
So you consider a snuggy a blanket with sleeves or
do you consider it a garment?
Speaker 5 (40:13):
Ooh, I consider it a blanket with sleeves. That's about
all I give it consideration.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
That's good because a federal court just agreed with you.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
There, believe why was this even okay?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
The company that imports them, depending on what it's considered
or what it's deemed, it determines the tax rate of
the tariff rate of course, so if it's a blanket
with sleeves, it was like an eight point something percent tariff.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
The government said, no, no, no, no, this is this
is a garment. So that's like a fifteen percent tariff,
which means they could charge the company more.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
I hope it's not a garment because I don't want
to see people walking around in them.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
So the government and the company went to court, and
the card all the way up to the federal court level,
and the court agreed that, yeah, it's a blanket with sleeves,
it's not a garment.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
I hear what you're saying, and I feel like there's this.
There was a song It's a blanket was sleep Thieves
or something like that. But for Snuggy something like that,
it had to be commercials, I.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Believe it or not. The government the court even said, yeah,
this is not the first blanket with sleeves. There was
something before called the slanket.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
I love that name even better.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
By the way, the section of the drug store where
they saw that stuff so much fun to buy, like
white elephant gifts or gifts for kids.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
I love that because they got a section like that
in Walmart. Oh my god, this is awesome. I don't
need this, but I need this right. It's the thing
you'll use once and throw away, right,
Jody, I think I've already got my Friday favorite.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And it's only Monday, Sam, it is just Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
But I've seen this one popped up and I had
to listen to it, and I was laughing, and for
some reason, I kept thinking of you, Jody. It's this
guy who has his his Okay, when you're when your
washing machine starts getting out of whack. You know, I'm
a spin cycle and it makes that noise and you
run in there and you straighten everything out. Yeah, this
guy grabs a guitar instead. He starts playing music to
his h his washing machine. That's you know, you see
(00:30):
here's washer okay.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It sounds like Johnny Cash to close.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Is this Georgia the Devil went down with Georgia.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He loob waiting.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Man and gave him the perfect back beat.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I know, but it's like fix the thing or it's
gonna break, it's gonna get off, you know. And then
so while I was watching his video over in the
right hand side, and he's apparently got his own channel.
He does this a lot. He's got another song that
you know, Jody, you might find this one is sacker List.
His washer's going off in the background. Got the guitar.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I know this.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Like another good beat man. He's awesome, and.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
He's probably broken this dryer five time.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
He's doing laundry wash washer on me.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I love that kind of creativity. You know, the next
time that our our washing machine gets off kilter like that, Jody,
we'll have to figure out.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
We'll send their right exactly You and I can't do that, right.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Sam our Piggy Gaga, the one eyed one Underpug.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yes, he's one of our pack of four.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
She's awesome.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
She is doing very well right now, and we can't
even believe it. She did survive that most recent emergency
of that trip.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Which wasn't lockjob at an absess.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
No, it wasn't even that.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Look, here's the story on Piggy when we when we
rescued her, when we adopted her, she already was in
a situation. It wasn't great. She'd kind of been overbred,
and then we found out she had she had heartworms
and some heart damage. Was like okay, So when we
got her, it was like a totally misrepresented.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Wait, why are you laughing at overbread?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
It means that she was forced to have a bunch
of puppies many times.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It sounds corporates a misrepresented dog. Well, look, they lied
to you about.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
The dog's been through a lot in her life.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
So we just decided we're going to give her a
comfortable existence for the rest of her life.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
We didn't know how long that would be. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And three years ago she had she had the bowel
thing that almost killed her. As you remember, they were gonna.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
We were gonna, we we were gonna put her down,
and then she bounced back and it's like, okay, you're
coming home.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
A year ago, she's her eye popped out. Let me
rephrase that, and so surgically that's been fixed.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, so she's been over Brad had ball issues. She's deaf,
Can I give you the update?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Mostly deaf and mostly blind in one eye, the one
eye that's left.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
But anyway, she.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Is the most incredible story and she's the funniest spirit ever.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
She does. She's sweet in miyed.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
When I picked her up from the vet yesterday, it's like, Okay,
there's some sort of byroid issue. They're putting her on
medicine for it. And once she's on this medicine for
a while, she should be back to herself. But on
the way home, they said, look, her heart rate's really
slow and her paws or her little feet are cold.
And I thought, that's not good. Heart rates slow and
(03:48):
your extremities are cold, and oh my gosh, we're taking
her home, you know, to make her comfortable.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
They said, you don't have any rhythm. I said, I
don't know. I've seen her dance.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
She's fine now. She is back to her old self.
I'm feeding her canned food only.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Exactly as her old self.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
She's so happy that when she wags that tailor behind sways,
I mean, she's all happy, even though she can't hear
and see. She's happy.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I've switched her to canned food because of some of
her teeth issues. Is a soft, soft food, and she
likes it so much. She is snorting like the pig
that she is. And again, it is so funny. I
don't even know, Like I won't believe it one day
when she does leave us, I won't believe it's true,
Like it'll take me twenty four hours to believe it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But isn't that good? That's the And again she's like
the happy ending big surprise dog. It's liking the cartoons
when the angel came out of the body and number
four just out of the life.

I listen to you guys on the podcast, and recently
a woman called in and said that she loves the
show as do I and said that she listens to
y'all all day. Sweet, my podcasts are only generally about
forty five to forty eight minutes from each day. Can
y'all just confirm that I'm not crazy? Or are you
(05:15):
guys online twenty four to seven?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Well, online is always on, yeah, but we're not on

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Twenty four to seven is the same forty five minutes
over and over and over.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
If somebody listens to us all day, they probably listened
to us in the morning in their busy morning schedule
and then grab the rest of it or whatever the
podcast later in the day.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah. Wait, just don't want you to miss anything, that's why.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Or you listen to the radio station all day. It's
cool too.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Sencer pronunciation era my fast. She said.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
This place is also famously known for being miles zero
of the Alaska Highway.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Cheers.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Hey, I just went to the Facebook page, Sam. They
have a whole tray of sliced bacon, or as they saying,
French bacon, tronchet slice of bacon bacon. It's not just
about bacon. When I'm moon pies, chocolate, strawberries, what kind
of bacon, is that though, Because this is Canada, you know,
(06:45):

Speaker 5 (06:50):
We're gonna stop listening to us Baked Club, all right?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Read it back in, man, really, back in.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You're excited. Thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
We appreciate you so much.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Reach out anytime you can go online call her text
and Facebook page. You can reach us there and on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Jody, I haven't explained this to you, haven't told you
about this yet, because I kind of feel like a
fool for doing this.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I sought to be good.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Well, I mean, as you know, at the end of
last week, I took her oldest daughter down to the DMV,
got her learning her drivers permit. Yes, all right, all
of that went very smoothly.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You only have to wait like an hour.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It wasn't bad at all. It was actually quite the
pleasant experience. I'm just saying, I'm on a roll here.
I'm not everything I hear from everybody else about this.
It was a fantastic experience. So but on the way there,
this is just one of those ironic moments, Jody says,
I'm a walking paradox because I'm mister safety. But I'm
not really mister safety, even though I really try to be.
(07:47):
And so as Taylor and I are going, you know,
she's in the passenger seat with me, and we're driving,
and for some reason the way that traffic stacked up.
I kind of got into a weird spot in the
left turn lane and left turn lane was a protect
an arrow and so as I literally was turning onto
the street, but the DMV is on the light.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Turned red, ran a red light.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I was in the middle of the I couldn't do anything,
and the camera that takes the picture shot a picture
of me. So I'm actually going to pay a fine
for running a red light on the way to the DMVA. Yes,
And I had to admit to it immediately. It's like, baby,
all right, this is what not to do, you know.
And it was just one of those bad I just
(08:31):
I guess I misjudged. I was already fortunate events. I
was in the lane, I was trying to get through
where traffic was and I mean, and.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
It just, mister safety, you have more tickets and violations
than I do since we've been married.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Oh what have you been? Guess what you just passed me?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I just felt horrible about that time that I didn't
fully stop and got a picture taken.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And that's happened a few times to you.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
No, no, I'm once.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
No, it's happened twice and don't remember it. Yes, it
was twice.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Remember you were drunk.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
The last time. It was one of those where I
thought I had, you know, made a mistake. And so
when it came in the mail, I'm like, oh, here
it is. I knew this was coming. And then it
was Jody again. But yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
And then I can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I know. That's that's two and six months.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I feel like, what did Taylor say? That's what I
want to know.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, I guess because I was honest and truthful and
I didn't try to cover it. You know, it was
this is a mistake, baby, this is what not to do.
And how ironic it's on the way to pick up
your that's I know. Oh and the one thing that
jumped out of my dresser, I found my driver's license
that was lost after all of that that I went
through thinking I had it was at home. So now
I have two.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I know, mister safety has two licenses.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And maybe you didn't know that you can actually see
what you hear by subscribing the Murphy Sammy Jonah YouTube channel.
Somebody had the bright idea to put cameras in this
place and so away we can't do anything. That's another
way you can keep up with what's going on Murphy Syman, Joey,
even though you can always keep up on Facebook, Instagram.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Also, if you don't know who Clyde Stubblefield was, he
was James Brown's drummer back in the day.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh really, okay, one of the stories he could have told.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I mean, he played on Sex Machine, he played on
I've Got the Feeling, He's got on all the big hits. Yeah,
and he played on a song called Funky Drummer. And
this is his lick.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah. And you know what, my friend Randy, when he
first started playing drums, did this lick.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And well, the great thing about this lick is it's
been sampled well over a thousand times on separate songs.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Lick. He came up with this lick.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, if you look at James the song you know
from James Brown, he does. He's not getting any credit
for writing this lick on their so don't know how
much he's made over the years, okay, but people have
sampled it like L L Cool Jay, I didn't know, okay,
my different different people have taken it and slowed it
(10:57):
down and sped it up to sample it. Jody when
he your favorites. George Michael did it on Freedom nineties.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Boom. It's good stuff right there.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Youn't have thought that. But that James Brown.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
You tell me he got credit and money every time
that happened.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
He wasn't given writing credit, so I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
And even when you create something, you own it period.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Even recently with the Ed Sheeran on the Multiplication album,
the song shirts Leaves you.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Can taste so multi boom and again, no wonder. I
love that song so much. It's multiplied by the way
the album is.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Multiple, multiply, divide x ten whatever, Okay, Anyway, I just
want everybody, you know, Clyde Stubblefield, if you've ever heard
that lick, and I know you have heard it before.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And every James Brown song had that lick.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah, I feel good, all right, It's very funky. We
like it a lot.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It helpful moms and dads who are taking their oldest
out for that first time driving. Oh, the whole permit
experience and all that. And since Jodi and I are
doing that with our oldest daughter Taylor, I actually discovered
something this week and I think it is really cool
and awesome and probably helpful of you're in that situation.
And we'll do that after the show and the merby
Sam and Jody podcast today. It's something exclusively when you subscribe.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Speaking of driving, Sam.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, here's what I on twist. Sam got himself in
a pickle. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I found myself on a National Parkway, which is a
federal highway, I guess, different than being on the interstate
or just being in the state highways.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yes, yes, driving to the National park.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Right, And the speed limit was fifty on this this roadway?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
And so what were you going?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
And I was not doing fifty? I mean there are
very few cars. I was doing eighty. I'll admit I.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Was doing Sam, What whoa that? Sorry?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Okay, when I'm on an interstate at seventy, I'm usually
doing you know that much?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, but this wasn't an interstate.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, I know, And so uh.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Let me say this wait wait wait, we knew he
was taking this little trip, and I feel like I
remember a halfway overheard you telling him to watch his
speeding on there right.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Well, it was the saying that, yeah, I mean because
national parks, A, they're national parks, but but yeah, I
mean it's federal and the you know, the park rangers
absolutely enforced the speed limits, and is I understand it.
Usually the finds and other things are a lot more intense.
So was just passing a cautionary tale.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
To you and Jody the reason you ever heard that
conversation as Murphy has been on the same roadway doing
about the same.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
H Actually, I hate to break it to you, I
wasn't that fast.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay, So anyway, yeah, I was warned about the park rangers,
you know, and so you really, I'm sad to say.
When I hear the word park ranger, I think of
you know, Ranger Smith and Yogi Bear and you know.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Well, see that's what got you the ticket.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Right there, saying tooling along and I see all the
flashing lights behind me one or two. You got a
bunch of lights on his on his little suv, his
real highranger suv. Okay, so he pulls me over. I
was like, yeah, oh, I know I'm speeding. I wasn't
going to argue it.
Speaker 8 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
So I go to get out the car, you know,
and it's like, get back in the car, sir, Yeah, actually,
So I get in. He comes up to the passenger
side window and says, you realize you were doing I
was like, sounds about right. And I gave him the
paperwork and all that. I get back and he comes
back and reminds me that the rest of the way
it's fifty And I was like, got your chief.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Did you say sorry? Were you like Paula?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, yes, sir, I didn't say give me the thing.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Good.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So you know, I get the chicken. I look down
at it and Murphy, like you said, I had heard
on this stretch of roadway. It's expensive. Five hundred dollars.
We're going eight and fIF not just that, plus a
thirty dollars administrative fee.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yes, I'm guessing you won't be doing this again.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I'm finding a different route next time.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
We love hearing from you. Join us anytime. You can
call or text. This number is eight seven seven three
to one zero for ms J Hi Melita.
Speaker 9 (14:59):
Yeah, oh my day. Are you doing?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
We're good? How are you today?
Speaker 9 (15:07):
Oh? My God, I'm excited. I are you talking to you.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
On the phone? Oh sweet, are you driving right now? Okay?
Speaker 9 (15:15):
You I'm hearing you.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
No, I just wanted to make sure you're you're careful.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
I'm very careful. I'm very careful.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Okay, cool? Well, straight shot? Oh good? Well, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (15:26):
You were talking about teaching your daughter how to drive
and get her permit everything, and some of the things
that you said about taking her to the parking lot area,
let her drive around the sparking lot and everything. I
did that with my daughter when I was teaching her
how to drive. I took it to the school, her
(15:47):
high school, and the parking spaces. I use that markers
for the Kennedy other cars, And every time she would
get close to that line or even in the line,
I'm like, okay, you hit a car. We need to
say yeah, you know, keep it straight. And she's the
kind of person who's really hard on us, you know,
before we get prime of you. I gotta feature how
(16:09):
to calm down and not be so critical of what
she's doing and don't get full of fish. I don't know,
we're gonna learn and.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Throw them through I told I tell Taylor the other day.
This is one of the hardest things you'll ever have
to learn to do it, Melita.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
Yes, it was a pleasure of meeting you.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Nervous.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
It's just a wonderful, wonderful person. You and and the
guys there.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Thank you, look call us anytime. He're so sweet.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I totally relate to what you said about her daughter
being harder herself, because you know, our oldest tailor is
that way too, and that's what I think. It's natural.
And you know what, I what I realized just the
other day is she's learning the vehicle itself, and she's
having to learn the road at the same time. That's
a lot. So we're just kind of staying in the
neighborhood right now now that she's got her permit and
focusing on the vehicle, if that makes any sense, and
(17:04):
then once she gets more comfortable that then we'll kind
of expand.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But I think she's being hard on herself too, because
she's trying to prove the dad that she can do it.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes, maybe so, but it's a good pair and it's
actually worked out.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Run.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I'm very calm. I think I'm very supportive.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
No, no, no, I don't mean just because it's you.
I just mean, if you know you're driving with your parents,
you're trying.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
To prove its lou pressure and do yeah. I think
so for all of.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Your life you want to please your parents. So yeah,
Melita loved hearing from you. Eight seven seven three one
zero four six seven five.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So, Jody, I'm a little self conscious about something that
I think it should be over with by now. I
should be over I mean when I work out and.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Are you wearing those black socks with those one to
stop that? Baby. I know it's not supposed to matter,
but it does a little bit.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You're wearing your coaches shorts. Again.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I pack a you know, a little bag, and it's
not like over the top. I'm not the pure pinnacle
of health, but I do work out. It's kind of
a weight training thing twice a week.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
None of us are the pinnacle.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
The guy I work with, his name is Paul, he's
been I've worked with him, worked out with him now
for like seven years, and so it's a regimen that's
important to me.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
But I've also been doing a relationship.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yes, and I've been doing this long enough that I
should never, you know, feel a pressure from those people
who are working out around me, namely to impress. Right, so,
but you know, I mean, as it would happen. Yesterday,
rather attractive woman walked in. I think she's probably in
her early thirties, and you know I'm sitting there, you know,
(18:28):
bench pressing my four hundred pounds. Yeah right, no, so
well I wasn't doing that, but you know it just
at that moment, it wasn't like self conquious, but I'm
like it is it occurred to me in a second
to suck the gut in a little bit?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Is you want to say that it's not make.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Sure that if I'm supposed to do fifteen, that I
don't start grunting at twelve and stop at thirteen.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
If you're supposed to do fifteen, you start counting it seventeen, it's.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
One hundred and fifty. What is your question?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
But what I mean, I have been working for so
long and that doesn't really bother me. I'm happily married
to Jodie for eighteen years. You know, I don't feel
this pressure to appeal to others. But for some reason,
you have a moment where you're like, I don't want
to look like I'm.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Not got to strut like the peacocks, just being human.
Everybody's self conscious, you know it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
You're not a little bit self conscious. There's probably something
a little wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I mean, because I've done stupid things like tripping on
the yoga mat on the way to get water, or
going to the water dispenser and pulling that ten cups
when it's only supposed to be one.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
And thinking about it is she's probably feeling the same thing.
She's probably walking in a certain way, sucking it in.
You know, working out is a very personal thing, very personal.
One time, the last.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Thing she was kind of carrying herself like I was
gonna ask does she have anything to suck in?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
She's like, I'm all that and a bag of chips.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Murphy's going, hmm, yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
I guess truly that would be freedom is to not
that's freedom, and that's what you hope for, at least
by a certain point in your life that you don't
care what other people think.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Actually, I just remember what it was. It really caused
me to be super self conscious. She said that she
was celebrating her dirty thirty thirtieth birthday. I dropped the
dumbells at that point.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Everybody probably coming up in the next five minutes with
Murphy Salmon jokes. She don't have to know why I'm
nervous to talk to the sixth graders at school tomorrow. Really,
Phoebe asked me the other day, Hey, mom, would you
come read to my classic?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Are youngest and she is our sixth grader.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I have not done that in a few years because
I haven't been asked this year.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I haven't had the I.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Haven't asked you back, huh, not since that fiasco.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
No, I think anyway, we show up and they give
you a book. You have to read what they give
you because it's usually related to something else they're doing.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
And that's fine. That was remember to.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Read it and don't do your own spin on the story. Yeah,
I don't do that.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Don't use voices.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
So President Lincoln.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Said score and seven. All we know now from the
movie he actually had highways ago.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I don't know what book I'm going to be given yet,
and this is tomorrow. But two things last time I read,
and I did you know, ha, that's cute, and that
I was stopping comment keep a little just a little commentary.
But afterwards I didn't realize they were going to take
an ar quiz on what I had read them wait
to help me out ar accelerated reader, okay, so making
sure that they followed the story comprehended. So this time,
(21:35):
if they're gonna have to do that, I'm definitely going
to stick to the script and going to read.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
The book definitely.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
The other thing is that she's in sixth grade. Now,
I'm surprised that I was asked to come read. I
don't know, I just didn't expect it's this is the
age where it's not necessarily cool that mom shows up
to read, right, I mean, Phoebe is excited and wants
me to.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I had a college professor that used to read you
know to the class as part of the lecture, so
I think it works for any age that he'd used voices.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
No, I'm just saying that it's for crowd reading.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Everybody reading together in class themselves.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
It's a tougher crowd. They're not like, oh yay excited.
You never know, there's a lot of sixth grade is
a is a tough place sometimes something, and Phoebe's gonna
be excited them there because she asked me to please
come do it.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
So I reached out to the teacher.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
So I'm doing it, but I just feel like it's
a tougher crowd and guess probably nervous.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
If they're more familiar with the big words. You gotta
be on your cover than me. Right, call her text anytime.
We love to hear from you. Eight seven seven three
one oh four ms J. That's three wins zero four
ms J. And you can also leave a message in
case we miss each other.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
We're discussing man friends man friendships and how they're different
than the lady friendships. I will say I've always admired
the long lasting like he's my friend, that's why, and
he always is my friend even if I don't think
of him for six months like that.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
That's what baffles me about.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
The lack of you know, interaction that you can have
with somebody you still call your friend.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Well, the thing is there as long as it's somebody
who's been it's been good to you and you're good
to them. Yeah, I think loyalty is what lasts, right, listen.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
To you talking just like Red and Andy Dufrayne. That's right, Okay,
my friends. So the deal is Oxford University found that
for men to have a strong friendship. You really need
face to face time. That's what makes a friendship really
really strong.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
This is for all men. This isn't just for British men.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Since this is Oxford, right, it's all men.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
How is that different from women? Though I don't understand
why we.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Women can have strong relationships over long conversations of texting, whatever,
social media. They consider that a strong relationship if it's
somebody that gets them. And but for men, if you
feel strongly about it's somebody that you actually get to
spend time with. You get to see, you shake a hand,
you get to watch a game together.
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Game.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So you're saying it's easy to kind of get lost
in the rest of your life and even though you're
still friends, you may not actively think about it.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Well, I will say this, and my observation of men
over the years, not just you.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I didn't realize you were a men observer like this, Jody,
of course.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I'm a creature.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Of My observation is that it's not where you if
you are given free time. I mean, let's just say
you having a whole free weekend, you don't think to
go there right off the baseball bat like I would.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I'd be like, Oohm, call my girls.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
You know what, You're right about that. I think I'm
a type a personality though. That's my problem. It's like, oh,
it's project time. Do the things that don't get to
do Monday through Friday. You're right, Jody, And sometimes I
don't stop to go wait, I need social time.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Right, you don't think to reach out to you?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Let me call up the guys.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Here's another another reason that you guys, your romance here
is strong because you see each.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Other every day.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well, that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I don't know if you mind me calling in the
romance bathwall.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I mean we know each other's sense of humor. I'll
send Sam text and all that kind of stuff when
we're not here.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You didn't know that, did you?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Oh? I know it. I'm aware.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Reach out anytime now. Eight seven seven three and zero
four m s. J.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Angel Toler thinks the new driver. I'm an X State
trooper and I'm a truck driver, and I teach truck
having now and you know, experienced drivers, we build what
we call muscle memory. So you know, for us to
drive and listen to the radio, we can multi tas
Because when you've got a turn signal or whatever. We
(25:24):
don't really have to think about it so much because
it's the natural thing, is muscle memory, you know. But
when a new driver comes on, they don't. They have
to think about it more so when you have you know,
there's more than just a self one. I have a
distractor and radio, passengers and whatnot. My resignations has always saying,
like me, firstly, I tell you at least six months
no radio, no passenger.
Speaker 9 (25:45):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yes, once once they get their own license and they
get their own car, they go to school and back,
their friends want to catch a ride or whatever, it's
trust me, it becomes a big distractor, right yeah. And
then uh, the radio if you want to try to stop,
get him out in the park lot and you glare
the radio on him and have them drive.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah, it's so true.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
It's I can't I cannot tell you how many times
the kids have been loud in the back seat where
I stop the car and I'm like, I can't do this,
You've got to stop, and they don't because they've never driven.
They don't understand, and it's okay, that's life. One day
something will happen in the back seat of her car.
Some noise and she'll realize, oh my mom wasn't crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Angel.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
I'll tell you what with her, with her getting her permit.
That you're right about the rules that just come to
your mind. Naturally. I can't imagine when she first starts
driving on her own and leaving the house and I'm
watching out of the window. I feel like, right off
the bat, I'm going to have a rule that you
don't get You don't get gas by yourself, yet, certainly
(26:52):
don't get gas at night.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
We're gonna have rules like that at first. Yeah, are
you driving right now? Sam wants to know.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I got you speakers.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Oh oh yeah, good.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Thank you for what we'll do.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Thank you appreciation, Joe.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
We appreciate the call. And you know it's funny Sam,
since I'm doing the driving with Taylor right now. Jody
will eventually do that, but that is what we're doing.
No radio, really, no other distractions, just just focus on
the road and focus on the driving.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Why you won't let me come along?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
So we were planning something on a day that was
like wide open many many weeks ago, and then all
of a sudden, when you get to that day, it's
too crowded to what you're originally playing, and it usually
happens with something sadly that is is personal or you know,
something I want to do that's just extra beyond the
scope of work.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
So until you have to do right with a friend.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Or something like that, Mark screws it up. Well, what
happened today, and it is nobody's fault for this. I
picked a day in the future, is like, okay, that
day is clear. Nothing ever happens on Mondays. And so
lunch with a friend that I haven't seen in a
very long time was scheduled for today. I'd already put
them off twice, and now today has turned out to
be one of those days.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
You have to put him on off again. Well you
have to.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
No, I decided not to put him off. It's like,
that's not really fair. I made the commitment to him
just because it's inconvenient for me, you know today personal level.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Just sit down and start with that.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Remind him of that at lunch. You know, this is
very inconvenient, But how have you been It's.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Not his fault, though you know it's not. It's truely,
things that got scheduled at work, you know, one is
a call, the other is something I'm supposed to be
attending person.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
That's Murphy's law.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Boy, Yes, to the total degree, You're right, it is,
and it's just it's weird. It's it never fails though
that that happens. Is that because we just tend to
cram too much in one day now?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Or is that the world or once to everybody? I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
It's how you lay out your life. Some of it
you're not in control of. You got to do what
you got to do. You have to do the work
that is, that is the work of your life. But
you also cannot be a slave to that because that's
not living your life. Yeah, you know, that's a whole
balance issue.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Well, and there was a book I read a long
time ago that talked about knowing when to say no
to things so that you don't overschedule. But I think
that's a bigger challenge today then it's ever been, because
there's some things that it appears you can't say no to,
you know what I mean, depending on your goals.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yes, if you like to have a job and make money,
there's certain people you can't say no to.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Right right, right, So it may today just wound up
that way, but you know, I realized it's like, Okay,
you know what, I'm not going to let it stress me.
That will probably be It'll be good time well spent
with this person I haven't seen in a while. Yeah,
and I'll still get everything done and at the end
of the day, it'll be a balanced day, right, Joe.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Yeah, you need to do it, and don't I mean,
I hope he's not hearing this.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Oh I didn't think about it. So anyway, maybe they'll
cancel one. You now looking forward to lunch?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Things were doing that to make our dogs misbehave boom.
As soon as I saw this, I thought, we've got
to discuss them. America is full of homes with dogs
and busy, busy people and the dogs when they misbehave,
you're like, why are you doing this? And the thing
is you got to get in the side of ahead
of the dog.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Well, I was going to ask you, isn't this the
kind of thing that Caesar Milan saw for us like
ten ten years ago. It's true, it really is, you know,
I bet you. The biggest problem that we make though,
is the thing that Caesar says, we still because we
love our dogs, because we're emotional about it. We humanize them,
which is the wrong thing to do.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
I don't know if that's maybe it is a deep
at the deep root of this dog psychology.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
We expect it to be like people, the things.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
That we're doing to make them misbehave. I remember, I'm
going to click here and watch it spin and wait
for it to open up.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And I did.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
And the number one on the list was they're not
getting enough exercise. A dog who's exercised, run around, played fetch,
walked on a leash as often as needed will not
misbehave and necessarily tell your tear your house up or
they need that just like we all do.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Yeah, stored up energy, it's true, and you got.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
To be careful what you need to know about the
level of energy with the breed. I mean, I have
friends who love labs and know this. Most labs are
high energy. Border colleigues are working dogs. They are meant
to be like obstacle horse working dogs. If you get
one of those and you leave it at home all day,
you're going to come home to an upside down house.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You know, things like that.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
But there's a list of things, the other one being
you haven't trained them enough you train them to not
go in the house. Hopefully you poty train them, and
then you end it there. And if that's all you
want to do, that's fine. Sometimes that's all I want
to do. I don't need a dog to do stuff
for me. But they like to do that. They like
to kind of serve their humans.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Well, it's not about teaching tricks as much as it
is showing them how to behave they fallow leaders. That's
what they are, you know.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Yeah, they're packed. They're pack animals. And Murphy's so true
about this, and I completely mess this up all the time.
You know, Murphy's like, you have to be consistent with
the dog. Apparently a lot of little things I'm doing wrong.
Murphy's more Caesar and I'm more the problem at our house.
We'll tell you about that. And another one of the
big rules of why your dog maybe you know, misbehaving
something that you're doing.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
We'll do that.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Next. Five things that we humans do that are making
our dogs misbehave. The number one I knew it was
kind of no, duh, I'm kind of a crazy dog person.
Is that they need exercise and they don't get exercise.
Whether that's you throwing a frisbee for them, or taking
them to a dog park or walking them. They've got
(32:10):
all this pent up energy, and a dog with pent
up energy is gonna do something with it.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah, they act out, I mean they sometimes it's chewing
on things. Sometimes it's not listening. Sometimes it's actually you know,
even though you got a potty train, they still use
the bathroom in the house.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I know, psychology just does that.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
And I haven't figured it out, but I yeah, you know,
I know you're saying, if the energy, if he doesn't,
if he doesn't expel his energy, Gus, he's gonna there's
a chance he might do stiff.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Just behave right, Sam.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
I've had a lot of problems lately with Gus chewing
up my baseball caps. Oh really, and yeah, and it's
like and it's these are like favorite baseball caps that
apparently I put.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
To well number one, you got to put them up.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, I've learned this lesson. And then flip flops too.
He's doing that. But I realized, and I maybe Caesar
would tell me, no, this is not true. But I
think it's because Gus misses me. M. I mean, maybe
I'm reading too much into this, But it's like, well,
why does he go just because he could get a
dish rag or he could get you know, a tuppleware
that's empty on the counter, but he goes for my
stuff and chews it up.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
That's weird. That's interesting, you know, And it's it's funny
because since we have multiple dogs, I do believe that
dogs perform better in a pack. But look, not everybody
can have more than one dog. Not everybody wants to
have more than one dog does. But that's what we
found is when there are when there's more than one,
there's a pack of mentality. They follow each other. It's
(33:28):
their natural environment. You know, when Gus is about to
go get that shoe, the other dog goes, Hey, wait
a second. I wouldn't do that if I were you
happened last time.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
Probably a dog, A person who's really an expert would say,
maybe not, But I'm with you. I think he loves you,
and he it smells like your hat, certainly smells like
you and your shoe. So yeah, maybe there's something about
where's my owner? I need to smell him? Oh my gosh,
let me chew his hat up.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Put your hats away.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Sam, Maybe you ought to chew on some of his
things and show them the other thing.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
They do need chew toys. They need things to occupy them.
If you can't take them out, you know it's true. Anyway,
go get the official expert list of things that dogs
are doing their misbehave. What we're doing that causes them
to misbehave when we are gone, Murphy Samon Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
I need a little help or suggestions or if anybody
has gone through this now there has nothing to do
with ex wives either. Uh okay, that's relief. That's wide
open now. The past couple of weeks at home, I'm
having some trouble shaking some dreams. Oh and really yeah,
And it's not a specific dream like it's recurring like
my ghost dreams.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
This is like, that's right, because that's where you wake
up in the middle of the night.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Dream.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
These are dreams whatever the night, whatever the dream, oh
the night is it's with me all night long. And
I'm actually to the point now where even I'm I
can be laying there awake knowing that that as soon
as I fall back into sleep that dream.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
But I don't want that dream? And it's not like
it's a scary horror dream. It's just you know how
it's run its course. Yeah, it's like it's like it's
unconstant repeat, and it's like I've done the dream, I've
solved the problem. Let's move on to something else. And
it's like I'm conscious enough to know I don't want
to keep having this dream.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
But you still do.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
But and I don't know how. I don't know if
there's a solution, like get up, go outside, take a drink.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Do something, and tell you that you're asking people who
are unqualified because I know nothing about this. Can I'm
a psychologist to me right, that's a that's a specialty
for people who really know about what goes on when
we're when we're asleep.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
You need to speak to a professional.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I could assume. I mean, maybe I've heard that before.
Maybe maybe it's signaling to you that you're in a
rut in your life. Ah, you know, it could be
kind of inn les circle.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
The difference this time around, and as opposed to the
rest of the times I get stuck in dreams, is
it's like I'm conscious that, Okay, it's there, and I
can't shake it. And I've never been conscious about the
dream I'm having that It's like, you know it's going
to be here and you're thinking of trying to not
think about it, but it's still there too smart and
it tries me insane. And then of course that leads
(36:09):
to you know, not being able to fall back to
sleep because I know waiting for me on the other side.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Well, at least it's not scary. Yeah, you know what
I mean, if you're being chased by a monster or
something like that, I would be paniced not go back
to even if it's boring. At least at least it's boring.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Any professionals want to help eight seven seven three one
oh four msj or as Jody would say, eight seven
seven three one zero.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
I want to tell you a little story that happened
this weekend. This is so cute to me. I can't
stand it. I don't know if your kids are this
way or if you you know, pick up on this.
Sam Okay. So, Taylor and Phoebe have always been very close,
our girls. They're they're best friends and our ch enemies
depending on what day it is and what's going on.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
And we're lucky about that with them being three and
a half years apart.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
And so Phoebe, who recently turned twelve, a phone, and
she does exactly what we thought she'd do with it.
She texts a few of us and then she shoots videos.
That's how she uses her phone. She sends me pictures.
She's way about the emojis. It's very fun. Well, so
she spent the night with a friend the other night,
and I totally expected to get a phone call the
(37:20):
next morning, Hey mom, good morning, what are you doing,
because that's who she is.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
She used to do that.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
She used to use the mom's phone call. I hear
Taylor the next morning in her room on the phone.
Taylor's never on the phone unless it's like a FaceTime.
They don't actually talk on my phone. Phoebe didn't call me.
Phoebe didn't call Murphy. She called Taylor and they spent
fifteen twenty minutes just catching up. What'd you have waffles?
What'd you guys do? We did this and it was
(37:47):
so sweet. A part of me was hurt that she
didn't call me because I used to be the person
that she called. But she called Taylor and they did
the whole catch up.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yeah, that is so super sweet by itself, and she.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Hung up, and I literally looked at my phone and
waiting waiting for her to call me, and she did not.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Do you think that's a girl thing too?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Possibly?
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Because I mean my boys, whenever they've spent the night anywhere,
I never get a call in the morning. Yeah, it's
like you always have to call over there. Are they
up yet? Can I come and get who is?
Speaker 5 (38:15):
That's good too, And that's good in a different way.
But you know, Taylor has always been able to be
there for her, and it's true for both of them.
It works both ways in ways that we can't. Yeah,
sibling thing is it?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Also? I get a text every so often that says, hey,
Dad is mom around trying to catch up with Jody
anyway they can.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
I may callmade macaroni and cheese at the house a lot,
and I don't use a recipe anymore. I used the
several different recipes here and there, and I decided, you
know what, I'm gonna make my own. I know what
to do, I know what basic stuff goes in right
the girls. We went out to eat recently and Taylor
ordered some macaroni and cheese with and it came with
breadcrumbs on top of that. Yeah, yeah, and that's the
(39:00):
exactly what she did, the whole meal. It's the best ever.
So I made macarani cheese last night, and guess what
Mama threw on top of their paint go breadcrumbs.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Because there's not already enough carb in the dish.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Well, what just a little topping?
Speaker 2 (39:14):
It was awesome? How did I not realize that that's
what you did? I just thought it was like, wow,
the cheese is just all nice.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Thought the cheese was crunching, And you're wrong. That was
breadcrumbs mixed with cheese. And you know what, it did work.
So when you make it, do you use sam bread crumbs?
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I'm the person that I was previously married to used
to make homemade and she would make it with bread
crumbs and the kids would complain, so we'd have like
half bread crumbs half not Oh I had it with
bread crumbs.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, she's out of the house, so are the bread crumbs.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, I'm using this blue box of things.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Okay, here's what I'll do that. Oh with that, I
know our kids love the blue box too. Anyway, I'll
put on my macaronie cheese recipe the way I make it,
which is kind of just like my own method. We'll
put it online, but now we've added breadcrumbs Murphysamon Jody

Speaker 1 (40:07):
So you consider a snuggy a blanket with sleeves or
do you consider it a garment?
Speaker 5 (40:13):
Ooh, I consider it a blanket with sleeves. That's about
all I give it consideration.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
That's good because a federal court just agreed with you.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
There, believe why was this even okay?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
The company that imports them, depending on what it's considered
or what it's deemed, it determines the tax rate of
the tariff rate of course, so if it's a blanket
with sleeves, it was like an eight point something percent tariff.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
The government said, no, no, no, no, this is this
is a garment. So that's like a fifteen percent tariff,
which means they could charge the company more.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
I hope it's not a garment because I don't want
to see people walking around in them.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
So the government and the company went to court, and
the card all the way up to the federal court level,
and the court agreed that, yeah, it's a blanket with sleeves,
it's not a garment.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
I hear what you're saying, and I feel like there's this.
There was a song It's a blanket was sleep Thieves
or something like that. But for Snuggy something like that,
it had to be commercials, I.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Believe it or not. The government the court even said, yeah,
this is not the first blanket with sleeves. There was
something before called the slanket.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
I love that name even better.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
By the way, the section of the drug store where
they saw that stuff so much fun to buy, like
white elephant gifts or gifts for kids.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
I love that because they got a section like that
in Walmart. Oh my god, this is awesome. I don't
need this, but I need this right. It's the thing
you'll use once and throw away, right,
