Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam and Jody Weekend Replay Podcast,
twelve of our favorite moments from this past week. Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Why does TSA and that screening procedure feel different at
different airports? I mean, shouldn't those guidelines be the same everywhere?
We're talking about that I travel SA guidelines I asked
out almost every time in a line and I found
out why again, Well, I would like to know what
you think, Sam, and then you, Murphy, like, take a guess,
(00:31):
and I promise I'll get to it.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
And maybe it's just what is important or priority at
that specific checkpoint, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It may be the technical limitations at that airport too.
Every airport is equipped differently.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's technical. It's because different airports have Some of them
have the krim de la Creme tech scanners and some don't.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Well, when we flew, you know, when we did key West,
they would only accept paper boarding passes. You can't use
the use that.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, they said, here, make sure that you have a
paper because at this airport it matters. And we looked
at each other like what.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
And it's because whatever communication takes place between the front
TSA and everything else, the consistency the boarding the boarding
pass has got to be visually verified.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Now. The deal is they're not changing the rules. You're
not losing your mind. It's different at different airports now,
the TSA agents may be a little bit different in
how they want you to execute things. Some of them
have zero time and humor with you, and some of
them are as nice as can be, and some of
them have, you know, no concept of time of like
you got to hurry, uppy ry.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The Phoenix airport was hilarious.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Oh yeah, telling you put in the bag, how to
put your bags down, and everything that has to go down.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah. Yeah, this is important to know, especially if you
don't travel on airlines very often, as you really need
to allow time for TSA because it does vary by.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Airport and the line. You never know how many people.
But you know, for instance, laptops sometimes you have to
take them out of your and that's because they don't
have the kind of screeners, the scanners that can see
through your bag and see everything, you know, and then
you have to take it out to make it easier
for them.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, and TSA pre check is supposed to be you
were able to keep those things in there. But there
are airports where you still have to take the left right.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
And some people with the shoes some Yeah, it blew
my mind. Recently when we didn't have to take off shoes,
I was like, awesome. So it's the rules and guidelines
have not changed. It's the tech and tech is different,
not even just per airport, but sometimes in different lines
and different at the same airport. It's true. Think about
(02:37):
how hard it is to keep up with tech. The
airports have that burden as well. Take one guess, give
you one cracket. How much you think the average wedding
costs this year in this time.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Thirty thousand? WHOA, that's a big number.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Murphy one guess fifteen thirty three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Surpris r average wedding cost. Average wedding cost.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Thirty three thousand dollars this year in twenty twenty four.
That does not surprise me. But they say, what's jacking
the price up is social media and people sharing all
their one hundred million different cool ideas. And you know,
more information is wonderful. Knowledge is wonderful, and it gives
you lots to work with, but it also you know,
(03:24):
gets those hopes up.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, the room. I want to do this, I want
to do that, I want to do this and that,
and you know, and I have noticed that a lot too.
And it's especially like in the last five years or so,
when a wedding takes place, there are like sixty seventy
photos that go up on social It's not just one
or two or three or small gallery.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It's the whole thing, right, People are making big, professional
photography decisions, expensive photography decisions. To me, this is what
it is. Don't be tone deaf about your parents. If
your parents are paying for it, have a conversation with them,
a real conversation about what they can and cannot afford.
(04:05):
Make sure there's honesty, because if you have a huge
wedding and you assume that they can afford it, and
they don't talk to you about whether they can or cannot,
then you have this whole big elephant or whatever you
call elphant the room.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And to me, if the money's not there, the answer
is just no.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That's why. Do you remember the Friends episode where Monica
started planning the wedding and Chandler was like, what, We're
not spending this money on a party? And I thought
that was such a good storyline because it's a real thing. Now,
if you're a couple and you're about to start your
life together and you're paying for your wedding, then you
guys figure out. You know, food truck outside open bar,
you know professional photography? Do you need drones? Like?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Keep in mind too.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
You also you know that adage you got to spend
money to make money. You got to spend that money
if you want to get all the gifts to come in.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Okay, you think more gifts, so you think more guests.
But that doesn't mean you're didn't have to drop thirty
thousand dollars that they didn't have. Yeah, it does need
to be an honest conversation.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You need to have the consideration is this marriage really
gonna last?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You know?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Like me, I'll throw this in careful of the destination
wedding and assuming that everyone can afford to travel in
for your wedding.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Here is a solo travel hack for everybody. Okay, And
this is what didn't come from me, even though solo traveler,
I never even thought of this, and I'm gonna start
doing it. My oldest son, Sammy is in Copenhagen right now.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
What.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah, he decided to take a ten day look around
trip Copenhagen, Sweden, Norway.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
A solo trip also yeah, oh really wow?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, and that he made.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
First of all, he made a special email group, you know,
called the emergency email group, me, his mom.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And Melissa's wiife. Okay, that way if anything pops up
number one, that's the quick easy access.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
The second thing he did is on his first full
day there, he sent us a picture of himself in
the elevator. Yes, and he said, this is my safety
and security picture for today, my outfit for today, just
on the off chance anything would happen. You know, you
know what he was wearing. Well, yeah, here's a picture
right here exactly what he means. Wow, I've done this
(06:25):
two years and I never thought about that.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh, who's going to be on your emails? Sam? If
you take solo vacation pictures.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Let me guess who wants to be No, no, no,
I don't want to be great.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Although you do text us all kinds of stupid little
memes all the time, you could include us in your safety.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You know what. I loved that idea, and you could
use that for like field trips for your kids. Take
a picture before they go away for that day or
you know, camp or whatever it is. Right.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yes, I've got my hack for when our girls were
small and they would go on field trips if I could,
if they weren't any uniform sort of thing, I would
send them in the brightest shirt possible.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I've done that in amusement parks too. It's like fluorescent today.
Can't miss you. Yeah, okay, so that and so you're
getting back to Sammy, your son and Copenhagen. You're getting
a picture of him every day and what he's wearing.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
This is the first day and so we got the
picture and you know he was going to explore and
that's what he's wearing today.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Fantastic. Are you expecting him to come back like you know.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Is he speaking Dutch? Did you wanting to move to Denmark?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
He's probably gonna tell us how wonderful it is and clean,
and he's already done that.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's clean. It's everybody rides bikes.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Centered grounded time by yourself can be fantastic for your centering.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, and all the stuff you can see there too.
Never miss a call.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Murphy Salmon Jody twenty four hour voicemail.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I was calling in about the whole communication and attitude
toward spouses and that type of thing, specifically about Jody
not quote letting Murphy have the car, which I think
was laughable. If anybody listens to you, guys, you can
tell you're not that type of couple. However, you made
(08:16):
me laugh. I was sitting in a red light and
I laughed really, really loudly, because all I could hear
was my mother. When people would when a woman would say, oh,
my husband won't let me do that, or my wife
or husband would say, my wife won't let me do that,
my mother's immediate visceral response was won't let It was
(08:41):
always very funny. But the history behind that is my
parents got married when they were sixteen and seventeen, didn't
have children for many years, and they were kids of
the fifties, you know, and they made a conscious decision
on how they were going to both have their marriage
and live their lives because they had not been happy
(09:04):
how their parents had, you know, been treated or treated
each other with their era of training. So they decided
to make a change. They affected us for good or
for bad with that because they's some very independent You're
not going to tell me what I can or can't
have type children. But it's kind of funny because it
(09:25):
was a running joke in our family with won't let
I just wanted to share that with you, guys. I
hope you have a wonderful day and keep doing what
you're doing. Thank you much for me.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You know, it always strikes me when I hear a
man or a woman say, well, so and so won't
let me. I don't say anything, but it does strike me.
It just feels wrong. It feels weird because it's supposed
to be a partnership. It's not a let. I mean,
there are things that can be iffy for you, and
if so, then talk about it, you know, and the
(09:58):
rest of the world doesn't have to know that a
thing you shouldn't be saying. I won't let so and
so new Why would you ever say that outside of
the walls of your own house anyway, Yes, I don't understand.
Keep it coming. We love hearing from you. Eight seven
seven three to one zero for MSJ.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
You know one thing I forgot to tell you about
my son, Sammy, my oldest son. He is on a
solo trip around the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway. He left his
wife and child behind. Yeah, well they are actually some
place now where they are looking at dinosaur fossils, like
a real dinosaur fossil place. I'm sure Hollis would enjoy.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That shout out for the solo trip being something that
is just more widely whatever being done.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I forgot to mention that he is staying in hostiles
while he does this.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Okay, so dumb question.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't sound like a great word, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Know what that means. Hostel. Yeah, it's not a hostile environment.
Is a hostel? A hostile is?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's just basically a bad shower in a bathroom, a
picture of there's six people in his room.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Is this a European thing only or country?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
But it's like it's super cleen, super clean. You get
a locker, you're on it. There's six bunk beds okay,
two and two and two, and there's a shared bathroom,
you shared toilet, shared shower, and then I just have
to especially like a dorm.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, but it's with strangers.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Strangers, and how many people are.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
In the ones are now six?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
That's not too bad.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
The reason for doing this is money, because it's like
twenty five thirty bucks for a hostel for a night,
and he said, or whatever, one hundred couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Roah, no kidding.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I don't know, man, I know I like my own.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I'm super spoiled, absolutely about my own space. But it's
just an interesting way to do it.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, you know, if you can at least get a
good night's rest that way, then it's worth the savings.
But if if somebody snores or.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah, he's like, he says, I worry about am I
snoring too loud for these people? But he said his
first night there, he went to bed. The other people
weren't in the room yet, and he said, the middle
of the night they all come back, I guess from
partying or whatever. And the noise wakes you up. Yeah,
And he couldn't get back to sleep, so he wound
up going out and walking around.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
It depends on who you are, because could you sleep
soundly the kind of good rest that you need in
a room full of strangers.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Sammy though, okay, I'll give you this. Sammy is like Murphy.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
He can talk to anybody, yes, about anything, for any
length of time. Yes, And so Sammy loves it. He's
in his element. Oh, he's got five new friends.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It's his social it's the social component of his trip. Yes,
oh so you would hate it, Sam.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I would despise it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Back from vacation, happy to be back with you, Jump
in and join us eight seven seven three one zero
four MSJ.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
One thing about vacation is, of course, you know it's
important to get out of your regular routine for a
little while to refresh. But one thing that you know,
I guess suck personally forget about is how important it
is to just play, really make time to and you
don't have to be on a vacation to just play.
That's something you can pick you know, on the on
the weekend. Jody and I have actually lately on weekends
(13:11):
just decided to just go do something together. We'll just
get in the cargo somewhere, no real plan, something happens
and it's just where we end up. And so that
that sort of unplanned spontaneities is a blast. And that's
what happened to me when we first started on a
vacation visiting. Jody and I went to visit our friends
Mark and Odra and they live on a lake, and
(13:31):
he happened to have a friend, he had a friend
of his one of his friends has a sea d
that he was lending to him, and it was sitting
right there, and it's like he asked me if I
wanted to take it out. I mean, part of me
is like, do I haven't ridden something like that? And forever?
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You were going to let me go?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Let me do this.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And we were all floating at that time. So me
and Mark and Audra are in the water on floating
on a float thing, just sitting there floating. Murphy couldn't
do it because of the.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Insights and plump and stuff. Yeah. Whatever, It's like.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Here's the key of the seado. Go have a blast.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah. And when I tell you it was fight. It
took me a minute to kind of get the balance
and all that. But once I was at it, it
reminded me of riding a motorcycle as a kid. So
I was doing like fifty to fifty five miles an hour,
wait across the lake when you.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
First started out, you were going near us and hey
and all this, And I told Mark, I said, you watch,
in a few minutes, you're not going to see him,
and he's going to come in here one hundred miles
an hour because I knew I knew that about you,
and sure enough we didn't see you for twenty minutes,
and then we hear that I won't hear that he's
gonna want one of these now. And that made your
friend Mark really happy because we didn't want you to
(14:38):
be left out of the floating.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And I didn't feel left out of that at all.
But it was it was just fun. But I'd forgotten
how much strength that winds up taking, because you were
after about thirty minutes or so, you start doing it.
The next day, my quads were quite swore, but it's.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So sore going down the stairs with our suitcase.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
The next day.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
He's like ah ah.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And as you get a little bit older, you're tentative
about jumping wakes and things like that, and one of them,
when I did finally jump the way, goes like, well
that was a blast, but I think I'll stick to one.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You know what, My favorite thing from this is that
you did it like next time we go, I know
he's gonna throw you the keys to the CDOO again.
Is that you you know, what do you call it?
Drove up to us at the dock and he took
a picture of you, and you were just so happy
on it. It's one of my favorite pictures.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I had fun.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
We'll post it with sharing.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So play when you can.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
We are hearing from so many of you lately about
where your work shows up in other places in your life.
When you do something for a living, it becomes a
part of you, your personality, your psyche, whatever, whatever you
call it, and then it follows you. You don't want
it to, but it does. Tricia sent this in I
have a background in costuming. I struggle with movies and
(15:50):
shows when they stray from the era in which they
are set. Man, I never thought of that. In fact, Tricia,
it'll make you crynch to know that. I just trust it.
If you tell me you're in the twenties and I'm watching,
I'm thinking they wore those hats in the twenties. I
trust it.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Well many times, many cases, they probably get most of
it right. So unless you're a specialized person like she is,
I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
A background in costuming. She also says she zooms in
on tags sticking up from the necks of shirts. I
see that too. I want to tap strangers on the
shoulder and tell them about tags sticking out. Oh, I
do that, But I mean I do depending on you
read the room. You read this situation as the person
you know friendly, would they welcome it or not? I
(16:36):
do it. To Murphy, I'll I just walk up and
shove the tag down. Yeah, she has the need to
fix bows on dresses. Chsh I don't know what bows
you're seeing on dresses, but a.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Big hoop dress have a bow on the side.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Okay, See Sam would know.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Well, you know I studied costume man.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Okay, along these same lines of you know where your
work shows up. It's just so interesting. Roy sent this
in to our Facebook message messenger. I'm a home inspector and.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Oh I bet that goes everywhere.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I can't even visit a friend without doing that.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Roy says, I'm a home inspector, and every time I'm
visiting a friend or family family's home, I'm trying not
to see the imperfections and or safety issues. I sometimes
have to bite my tongue if they ask what I
think of what I think of their place?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well, I noticed you have an open neutral in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It's funny about that is It's fascinating to me. The
first time Murphy and I you remember this. The first
time you and I went through the whole home buying
process and we were putting an offer down on a
home and then the inspection came around. Murphy followed the
inspector around and was just excited. I thought he was
going to change jobs. I thought Murphy was going to
become an inspector.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I learned a lot. It was fun and you loved it.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Thank you, Roy and Tricia. Reach out to it anytime.
You can even email us Murphy Samon Jody dot com,
follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Love connecting with
you there. You can also join the conversation anytime eight
seven seven three one zero four MSJ. We are back
(18:17):
from vacation and we like to hear from you the most.
Kathy said about key West Murphy, My daughters and I
are going in September for a girl's trip just a
few days. What are the top things we have to do? Kathy.
My answer to that is I need to know how
old they are. Because Key West is an adult dish place.
There are barrooms everywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
It's family friendly, there are family things to do. But yes,
it is a it's I mean, it's got a how
well say for the number of restaurants and bars. It's
the most in any one little.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Strike restaurants and bars right seven mile Stretchers.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
There have chickens in the street.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
There are chickens everywhere, and there are iguanas, but there
are roosters that are crowing in the middle of the day.
That was my thing. I'm like, I'm a country girl.
They're only supposed to do that in the early morning.
But they're growing it yet.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I think that's attention getting for food is what I
think is. Yeah. But the crazy thing about the iguana,
Jody and I were getting coffee and a breakfast sandwich
one morning and sitting on this bench and one came
out from underneath us, so big, one, big one, and
it was it was cool. It was beautiful to watch.
They don't want to they don't want to mess with you, No,
they just want to walk away.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Closer I got to that thing, he shot up a tree.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And then the place where we were saying, there were
little baby iguanas everywhere. It's like, oh, there's a mama
runner somewhere. Anyway, Kathy, uh, let me know how old
your kids are and I'll answer that question for you.
In fact, in one of our after the show podcasts
this week, which will be Tuesdays, we'll tell you all
about Key West. Yeah, today's after show will be about
sam solo vacation.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I would say that you can carve a Key West
trip into two different types. The kind where if it's
you know, adult kind of vegacy type get away for
a couple of days where you're gonna enjoy food and
libations and all that, but there's plenty of family of friendly,
family friendly things to do.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yes, Steven said regarding one of the pictures I shared
of a rooster on the roof of the Cuban Coffee
Queen place. My wife and I have a selfie with
that same rooster up on the roof. Sure you do, Steven.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Cuban Coffee Queen is special. That's a local. You know,
they've got like five four or five locations.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
And Becky says, I really like the chickens and the
polydactyl cats at the Hemingway House better than the iguanas.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You know what, And I was really surprised. I didn't know. Well,
I had to stop and think about how many toes
a regular cat has, and then when we saw the
six toes yeah, yeah, they do.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And there were fifty nine cats on that premises.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
You did the math we did toes, Yeah, exactly. One
of the cats actually has six toes on all four paws.
He was wow.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, anyway, it keeps his balance really well. Yeah, thank
you all of you who said happy birthday to me
while we were on vacation.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah, Joni's birthday was July third. I'm always on vacation
when it's your birthday.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
All of my life, I've been on vacation for my birthday.
And what a special place to be, What a special
thing that is. It's fantastic, and I always tell my
friends I'm on vacation. I don't actually have to age cute.
So I wanted to say thank you for all the
birthday love that, you know, I felt from everybody on
our Facebook and Instagram pages. It was very sweet, not
(21:16):
expected because we're on vacation. It's just a different whole
set of you know, your brain. And Murphy took me
on a and we're gonna do an after the show podcast.
I think tomorrow about our Key West trip, but I
was We did a sunset cruise for my birthday, which
I want to say this. I made one very big
mistake on vacation, and we're gonna get to that in
(21:38):
some of your comments coming up. Not enough coverage, not
enough sunscreen, not enough hats, not enough SPF. For me,
when we got back, I felt the sun and my
skin for days and I felt dehydrated for days.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Redhead fir skin. So obviously it's a lot worse for anybody.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
But for you it's we don't normally spend as much
time out in it. And we were doing outdoor things
for seven days in a row, six and seven days
in a row, and when I tell you just I
was burning for days inside. But another heads up thing
for about a sunset cruise is you get on the
cruise and it's a two hour thing and you get
(22:19):
on and you have a little light refreshments, You have
a drink if you want, and some food, but you're
in the sun until the end. You think it's gonna
be shady because it's a sunset cruise. Oh no, no, no, no,
you're burning up until the end and you're heading back.
Oh there it goes the sun, it's going down.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
This was fun. When I booked this Sam so it
was a schooner cruise and after I googled what a
schooner was, I could not remember. Oh, it's a sailboat. Okay,
it was awesome, but it was was. There were ten
couples and it was like this old school wooden boat
with sails. It had an engine too, and they just
took you a little bit, you know, off to the
(22:56):
I guess since it's Key West, you're really in the
Atlanta by that point. Yes, and fantastic, and it really was.
It was sweet. It's one of those where you just
look around as the sun sets in this giant body
of water and you're like, wow, there's so much everything
is so much bigger than me. Yeah, and it's just
like it puts it in perspective.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Remember, for a sunsets cruise, you're in the sun for
two hours, then the sunsets.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And a schooner has sails.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Sam, you know how Murphy is at airports? Oh, yes, uptight. Yeah,
wants to be first in line, is really afraid of
a plane leaving without him. It's the only time he
truly respects time.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Well, that's set the only time I respect time.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
It is. So I want to tell you a story
from vacation. So the first part of our vacation, Murphy
and I went to see our friends Mark and Audra
to spend a couple of days with them on the
lake on their lake. They live on a lake, and
we took a very early flight to see them, and
we probably shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Those are six am flights. We had to be there
at like four thirty four fifteen.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
And we had had a long day of work the
day before. This was the first day of our vacation.
It was not a good plan. So Murphy had like
two hours of sleep. I had three, And.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I couldn't believe that too, because you know, going straight
from where you're trying to get all those last minute
things before you go on vacation done. Maybe that's what
amped me up that night, that I couldn't backing cubes.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You were all excited about.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
That, well, I was. We'll share some of that magic later.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
So Murphy was not very awake airport check in and
I didn't drive.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Our oldest daughter, Tailor actually took us to the airport,
which is awesome to leave the car there, so I
wasn't even that forced alert. Okay, I gotta drive now, So.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'm rolling up our bags up to the kiosk or
you check in, and if it's me and Murph, you know,
he he likes to take over. He's as he leaves
the leader types I don't care, so he usually is
the one. So he raises his hand up slowly to
start putt, you know, and he gets stuck and he's
got this glaze over his face, and I'm like, this
is how our last name is spelled? Like, I'm literally going,
(24:58):
this is our last name type of I had to
take that over.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I was staring at the key house, going, okay, what
am I what to do? It's giving me directions but
it's nothing under this is computing at all. The line
is starting to build behind us, and.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
She felt so bad. I had to take over and check.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Outed to check us in because I literally couldn't. I
could not get my head wrapped her. How dumb is that?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
However, Murphy is still Murphy. So when it was time
to board, he got on before me. I had run
to the bathroom. He actually got on the airplane without
before me.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Well, I know we'd wind up sitting together.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
But when it's signed for me to scan in, she's like,
oh no, ma'am, you're already on this plane. What's the problem.
There's this big, big commotion. He went on the plane
as me. So I had I said, my husband is
on She scanned the wrong boarding pass.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yes, yes I did.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Thanks for that. I almost didn't get on the plane.
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Can also call
us anytime we like to hear from you so many
different ways. Robert sent us an email. Hey, guys, heard
her talking about the things you remember from the job.
What he means is the way your work shows up
in your life. It shows up for everyone.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yeah. Kind of like our daughter Phoebe. She's a server.
So if we're eating dinner together, she's gonna kind of
bust the table.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
She buses the table before the server comes back and
get it cheap and stacks everything up. You know, she
just does it shows up.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Teachers are in tune to grammar oftentimes nurses. Oh yes, so,
Robert says, heard you guys talking about this. I'm retired
railroad after thirty four years, and whenever I hear a
train in the distance, I listen to here. If the
if the blow of the horn is done correctly of
(26:43):
our crossing.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Oh really, two long blows.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
On the horn one short and then one more long.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
How I need to pay attention no trains all the
time where I live.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, so thank you for that, Robert. I just thought, honestly,
this is a dumb thing to say, but I never
thought about it. Number one. But number two, I guess
I thought it was just random.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yes, right, and you're coming up to an intersection, you
blow the horn, you get out the way.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
No, according to Robert, it's two long blows on the horn,
one short and then one more long.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Huh. Problem is, Jody, you and I live right next
to a railroad crossing. I don't hear the trains anymore,
so unless I really stop, most of the times they
will pass on.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
When we're in the house. Two things happen. You can
hear them because the dogs hear them and howl. And
you're too big. That's why you can't hear them, because
the dogs drown them out. When I go out and
walk in our neighborhood and the train comes, whoa, you
can't miss that. It's so close and so I'll definitely
be able to pick that up. So thank you, Robert
for That's cool. Too long, one short, and then one
(27:47):
more long. That's for the horn when crossing going over
a crossing, which is for safety reasons. And we love
hearing from you, Robert. Lisa says, glad you're back. Love
listening to you guys every day. You don't realize how
special you are to me. I hope you enjoyed your
vacation well deserved. Lisa, you don't know how special you
(28:08):
are to us. Yeah, even just to send that in
means the world because you don't have to join us anytime.

Jody's Top five entertainment stories of the Week.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Brought to you by Mattress Firm. Number five.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I'm sorry about this for Kevin Costner, but the studio
has scrapped the second film of Horizon being released in
theaters later.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I haven't had much need of it yet.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Oh. He has spent his life preparing for this Horizon.
The first installment only made eleven million bucks in its
opening weekend in June, and so they're not going to release,
you know, the second part in August, like was originally planned,
and he spent oh one hundred million to make that
first one.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Number four four years after we first heard from Madonna
that her biopic was in the works that she was
going to make that happen. We now have a title.
It's gonna be called Who's That Girl, and she shared
on social media this week he told us about it,
Sam that she was like, you know, doing rewrights, working
it down. And the word is also that actress Julia
(29:21):
Garner that we all know from Ozark is still you know,
on board to play Madonna, which we can all see that,
can't we. Number three, Netflix gave us all the Duffer
Brothers and Netflix gave us all behind the scenes look
of what filming season five for Stranger Things looks like.
Speaker 1 (29:40):

when she was eleven.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Thank you for getting that one in. It was a
behind the scenes look, but no spoilers. Here's what we
do know from the behind the scenes look. Go look
at it if you want to see it looks really cool.
Vecna is back and actress Linda Linda Hamilton is joining
the show in season five. Yay another like eighty superstar.
Number two debuted this week on Netflix. Murphy, I hope
(30:15):
you know I'm going to binge this this weekend. It's
only two parts that we can see Simone Biles rising.
I've always had really good intuition about things. So part
one is two episodes which you can catch now, basically
from what happened to her in the Tokyo Olympics where
she backed out and bowed out to her comeback. Now,
those are the first two episodes. The second two we
(30:37):
don't get until the fall after the Paris Olympics. Number
one Twisters debuts at the box office this weekend.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
That a Generation to Outbreak continues.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Aklahoma. This looks good.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
It does look good. Actor Glenn Powell, Anthony Remos, and
Daisy Edgar Rogers. You may know her from Where the
Crawdads Sing. The other thing I know about it. It's
not a direct sequel. It's a standalone sort of sequel movie,
rated PG thirteen, and it's an hour and fifty seven
minutes long.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Jody's top five entertainment stories of the week.
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam and Jody Weekend Replay Podcast,
twelve of our favorite moments from this past week. Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Why does TSA and that screening procedure feel different at
different airports? I mean, shouldn't those guidelines be the same everywhere?
We're talking about that I travel SA guidelines I asked
out almost every time in a line and I found
out why again, Well, I would like to know what
you think, Sam, and then you, Murphy, like, take a guess,
(00:31):
and I promise I'll get to it.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
And maybe it's just what is important or priority at
that specific checkpoint, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It may be the technical limitations at that airport too.
Every airport is equipped differently.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's technical. It's because different airports have Some of them
have the krim de la Creme tech scanners and some don't.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Well, when we flew, you know, when we did key West,
they would only accept paper boarding passes. You can't use
the use that.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, they said, here, make sure that you have a
paper because at this airport it matters. And we looked
at each other like what.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
And it's because whatever communication takes place between the front
TSA and everything else, the consistency the boarding the boarding
pass has got to be visually verified.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Now. The deal is they're not changing the rules. You're
not losing your mind. It's different at different airports now,
the TSA agents may be a little bit different in
how they want you to execute things. Some of them
have zero time and humor with you, and some of
them are as nice as can be, and some of
them have, you know, no concept of time of like
you got to hurry, uppy ry.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The Phoenix airport was hilarious.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Oh yeah, telling you put in the bag, how to
put your bags down, and everything that has to go down.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah. Yeah, this is important to know, especially if you
don't travel on airlines very often, as you really need
to allow time for TSA because it does vary by.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Airport and the line. You never know how many people.
But you know, for instance, laptops sometimes you have to
take them out of your and that's because they don't
have the kind of screeners, the scanners that can see
through your bag and see everything, you know, and then
you have to take it out to make it easier
for them.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, and TSA pre check is supposed to be you
were able to keep those things in there. But there
are airports where you still have to take the left right.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
And some people with the shoes some Yeah, it blew
my mind. Recently when we didn't have to take off shoes,
I was like, awesome. So it's the rules and guidelines
have not changed. It's the tech and tech is different,
not even just per airport, but sometimes in different lines
and different at the same airport. It's true. Think about
(02:37):
how hard it is to keep up with tech. The
airports have that burden as well. Take one guess, give
you one cracket. How much you think the average wedding
costs this year in this time.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Thirty thousand? WHOA, that's a big number.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Murphy one guess fifteen thirty three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Surpris r average wedding cost. Average wedding cost.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Thirty three thousand dollars this year in twenty twenty four.
That does not surprise me. But they say, what's jacking
the price up is social media and people sharing all
their one hundred million different cool ideas. And you know,
more information is wonderful. Knowledge is wonderful, and it gives
you lots to work with, but it also you know,
(03:24):
gets those hopes up.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, the room. I want to do this, I want
to do that, I want to do this and that,
and you know, and I have noticed that a lot too.
And it's especially like in the last five years or so,
when a wedding takes place, there are like sixty seventy
photos that go up on social It's not just one
or two or three or small gallery.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It's the whole thing, right, People are making big, professional
photography decisions, expensive photography decisions. To me, this is what
it is. Don't be tone deaf about your parents. If
your parents are paying for it, have a conversation with them,
a real conversation about what they can and cannot afford.
(04:05):
Make sure there's honesty, because if you have a huge
wedding and you assume that they can afford it, and
they don't talk to you about whether they can or cannot,
then you have this whole big elephant or whatever you
call elphant the room.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And to me, if the money's not there, the answer
is just no.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That's why. Do you remember the Friends episode where Monica
started planning the wedding and Chandler was like, what, We're
not spending this money on a party? And I thought
that was such a good storyline because it's a real thing. Now,
if you're a couple and you're about to start your
life together and you're paying for your wedding, then you
guys figure out. You know, food truck outside open bar,
you know professional photography? Do you need drones? Like?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Keep in mind too.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
You also you know that adage you got to spend
money to make money. You got to spend that money
if you want to get all the gifts to come in.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Okay, you think more gifts, so you think more guests.
But that doesn't mean you're didn't have to drop thirty
thousand dollars that they didn't have. Yeah, it does need
to be an honest conversation.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You need to have the consideration is this marriage really
gonna last?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You know?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Like me, I'll throw this in careful of the destination
wedding and assuming that everyone can afford to travel in
for your wedding.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Here is a solo travel hack for everybody. Okay, And
this is what didn't come from me, even though solo traveler,
I never even thought of this, and I'm gonna start
doing it. My oldest son, Sammy is in Copenhagen right now.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
What.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah, he decided to take a ten day look around
trip Copenhagen, Sweden, Norway.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
A solo trip also yeah, oh really wow?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, and that he made.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
First of all, he made a special email group, you know,
called the emergency email group, me, his mom.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And Melissa's wiife. Okay, that way if anything pops up
number one, that's the quick easy access.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
The second thing he did is on his first full
day there, he sent us a picture of himself in
the elevator. Yes, and he said, this is my safety
and security picture for today, my outfit for today, just
on the off chance anything would happen. You know, you
know what he was wearing. Well, yeah, here's a picture
right here exactly what he means. Wow, I've done this
(06:25):
two years and I never thought about that.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh, who's going to be on your emails? Sam? If
you take solo vacation pictures.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Let me guess who wants to be No, no, no,
I don't want to be great.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Although you do text us all kinds of stupid little
memes all the time, you could include us in your safety.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You know what. I loved that idea, and you could
use that for like field trips for your kids. Take
a picture before they go away for that day or
you know, camp or whatever it is. Right.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yes, I've got my hack for when our girls were
small and they would go on field trips if I could,
if they weren't any uniform sort of thing, I would
send them in the brightest shirt possible.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I've done that in amusement parks too. It's like fluorescent today.
Can't miss you. Yeah, okay, so that and so you're
getting back to Sammy, your son and Copenhagen. You're getting
a picture of him every day and what he's wearing.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
This is the first day and so we got the
picture and you know he was going to explore and
that's what he's wearing today.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Fantastic. Are you expecting him to come back like you know.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Is he speaking Dutch? Did you wanting to move to Denmark?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
He's probably gonna tell us how wonderful it is and clean,
and he's already done that.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's clean. It's everybody rides bikes.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Centered grounded time by yourself can be fantastic for your centering.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, and all the stuff you can see there too.
Never miss a call.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Murphy Salmon Jody twenty four hour voicemail.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I was calling in about the whole communication and attitude
toward spouses and that type of thing, specifically about Jody
not quote letting Murphy have the car, which I think
was laughable. If anybody listens to you, guys, you can
tell you're not that type of couple. However, you made
(08:16):
me laugh. I was sitting in a red light and
I laughed really, really loudly, because all I could hear
was my mother. When people would when a woman would say, oh,
my husband won't let me do that, or my wife
or husband would say, my wife won't let me do that,
my mother's immediate visceral response was won't let It was
(08:41):
always very funny. But the history behind that is my
parents got married when they were sixteen and seventeen, didn't
have children for many years, and they were kids of
the fifties, you know, and they made a conscious decision
on how they were going to both have their marriage
and live their lives because they had not been happy
(09:04):
how their parents had, you know, been treated or treated
each other with their era of training. So they decided
to make a change. They affected us for good or
for bad with that because they's some very independent You're
not going to tell me what I can or can't
have type children. But it's kind of funny because it
(09:25):
was a running joke in our family with won't let
I just wanted to share that with you, guys. I
hope you have a wonderful day and keep doing what
you're doing. Thank you much for me.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You know, it always strikes me when I hear a
man or a woman say, well, so and so won't
let me. I don't say anything, but it does strike me.
It just feels wrong. It feels weird because it's supposed
to be a partnership. It's not a let. I mean,
there are things that can be iffy for you, and
if so, then talk about it, you know, and the
(09:58):
rest of the world doesn't have to know that a
thing you shouldn't be saying. I won't let so and
so new Why would you ever say that outside of
the walls of your own house anyway, Yes, I don't understand.
Keep it coming. We love hearing from you. Eight seven
seven three to one zero for MSJ.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
You know one thing I forgot to tell you about
my son, Sammy, my oldest son. He is on a
solo trip around the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway. He left his
wife and child behind. Yeah, well they are actually some
place now where they are looking at dinosaur fossils, like
a real dinosaur fossil place. I'm sure Hollis would enjoy.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That shout out for the solo trip being something that
is just more widely whatever being done.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I forgot to mention that he is staying in hostiles
while he does this.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Okay, so dumb question.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't sound like a great word, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Know what that means. Hostel. Yeah, it's not a hostile environment.
Is a hostel? A hostile is?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's just basically a bad shower in a bathroom, a
picture of there's six people in his room.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Is this a European thing only or country?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
But it's like it's super cleen, super clean. You get
a locker, you're on it. There's six bunk beds okay,
two and two and two, and there's a shared bathroom,
you shared toilet, shared shower, and then I just have
to especially like a dorm.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, but it's with strangers.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Strangers, and how many people are.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
In the ones are now six?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
That's not too bad.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
The reason for doing this is money, because it's like
twenty five thirty bucks for a hostel for a night,
and he said, or whatever, one hundred couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Roah, no kidding.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I don't know, man, I know I like my own.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I'm super spoiled, absolutely about my own space. But it's
just an interesting way to do it.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, you know, if you can at least get a
good night's rest that way, then it's worth the savings.
But if if somebody snores or.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah, he's like, he says, I worry about am I
snoring too loud for these people? But he said his
first night there, he went to bed. The other people
weren't in the room yet, and he said, the middle
of the night they all come back, I guess from
partying or whatever. And the noise wakes you up. Yeah,
And he couldn't get back to sleep, so he wound
up going out and walking around.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
It depends on who you are, because could you sleep
soundly the kind of good rest that you need in
a room full of strangers.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Sammy though, okay, I'll give you this. Sammy is like Murphy.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
He can talk to anybody, yes, about anything, for any
length of time. Yes, And so Sammy loves it. He's
in his element. Oh, he's got five new friends.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It's his social it's the social component of his trip. Yes,
oh so you would hate it, Sam.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I would despise it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Back from vacation, happy to be back with you, Jump
in and join us eight seven seven three one zero
four MSJ.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
One thing about vacation is, of course, you know it's
important to get out of your regular routine for a
little while to refresh. But one thing that you know,
I guess suck personally forget about is how important it
is to just play, really make time to and you
don't have to be on a vacation to just play.
That's something you can pick you know, on the on
the weekend. Jody and I have actually lately on weekends
(13:11):
just decided to just go do something together. We'll just
get in the cargo somewhere, no real plan, something happens
and it's just where we end up. And so that
that sort of unplanned spontaneities is a blast. And that's
what happened to me when we first started on a
vacation visiting. Jody and I went to visit our friends
Mark and Odra and they live on a lake, and
(13:31):
he happened to have a friend, he had a friend
of his one of his friends has a sea d
that he was lending to him, and it was sitting
right there, and it's like he asked me if I
wanted to take it out. I mean, part of me
is like, do I haven't ridden something like that? And forever?
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You were going to let me go?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Let me do this.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And we were all floating at that time. So me
and Mark and Audra are in the water on floating
on a float thing, just sitting there floating. Murphy couldn't
do it because of the.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Insights and plump and stuff. Yeah. Whatever, It's like.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Here's the key of the seado. Go have a blast.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah. And when I tell you it was fight. It
took me a minute to kind of get the balance
and all that. But once I was at it, it
reminded me of riding a motorcycle as a kid. So
I was doing like fifty to fifty five miles an hour,
wait across the lake when you.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
First started out, you were going near us and hey
and all this, And I told Mark, I said, you watch,
in a few minutes, you're not going to see him,
and he's going to come in here one hundred miles
an hour because I knew I knew that about you,
and sure enough we didn't see you for twenty minutes,
and then we hear that I won't hear that he's
gonna want one of these now. And that made your
friend Mark really happy because we didn't want you to
(14:38):
be left out of the floating.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And I didn't feel left out of that at all.
But it was it was just fun. But I'd forgotten
how much strength that winds up taking, because you were
after about thirty minutes or so, you start doing it.
The next day, my quads were quite swore, but it's.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So sore going down the stairs with our suitcase.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
The next day.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
He's like ah ah.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And as you get a little bit older, you're tentative
about jumping wakes and things like that, and one of them,
when I did finally jump the way, goes like, well
that was a blast, but I think I'll stick to one.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You know what, My favorite thing from this is that
you did it like next time we go, I know
he's gonna throw you the keys to the CDOO again.
Is that you you know, what do you call it?
Drove up to us at the dock and he took
a picture of you, and you were just so happy
on it. It's one of my favorite pictures.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I had fun.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
We'll post it with sharing.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So play when you can.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
We are hearing from so many of you lately about
where your work shows up in other places in your life.
When you do something for a living, it becomes a
part of you, your personality, your psyche, whatever, whatever you
call it, and then it follows you. You don't want
it to, but it does. Tricia sent this in I
have a background in costuming. I struggle with movies and
(15:50):
shows when they stray from the era in which they
are set. Man, I never thought of that. In fact, Tricia,
it'll make you crynch to know that. I just trust it.
If you tell me you're in the twenties and I'm watching,
I'm thinking they wore those hats in the twenties. I
trust it.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Well many times, many cases, they probably get most of
it right. So unless you're a specialized person like she is,
I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
A background in costuming. She also says she zooms in
on tags sticking up from the necks of shirts. I
see that too. I want to tap strangers on the
shoulder and tell them about tags sticking out. Oh, I
do that, But I mean I do depending on you
read the room. You read this situation as the person
you know friendly, would they welcome it or not? I
(16:36):
do it. To Murphy, I'll I just walk up and
shove the tag down. Yeah, she has the need to
fix bows on dresses. Chsh I don't know what bows
you're seeing on dresses, but a.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Big hoop dress have a bow on the side.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Okay, See Sam would know.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Well, you know I studied costume man.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Okay, along these same lines of you know where your
work shows up. It's just so interesting. Roy sent this
in to our Facebook message messenger. I'm a home inspector and.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Oh I bet that goes everywhere.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I can't even visit a friend without doing that.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Roy says, I'm a home inspector, and every time I'm
visiting a friend or family family's home, I'm trying not
to see the imperfections and or safety issues. I sometimes
have to bite my tongue if they ask what I
think of what I think of their place?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well, I noticed you have an open neutral in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It's funny about that is It's fascinating to me. The
first time Murphy and I you remember this. The first
time you and I went through the whole home buying
process and we were putting an offer down on a
home and then the inspection came around. Murphy followed the
inspector around and was just excited. I thought he was
going to change jobs. I thought Murphy was going to
become an inspector.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I learned a lot. It was fun and you loved it.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Thank you, Roy and Tricia. Reach out to it anytime.
You can even email us Murphy Samon Jody dot com,
follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Love connecting with
you there. You can also join the conversation anytime eight
seven seven three one zero four MSJ. We are back
(18:17):
from vacation and we like to hear from you the most.
Kathy said about key West Murphy, My daughters and I
are going in September for a girl's trip just a
few days. What are the top things we have to do? Kathy.
My answer to that is I need to know how
old they are. Because Key West is an adult dish place.
There are barrooms everywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
It's family friendly, there are family things to do. But yes,
it is a it's I mean, it's got a how
well say for the number of restaurants and bars. It's
the most in any one little.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Strike restaurants and bars right seven mile Stretchers.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
There have chickens in the street.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
There are chickens everywhere, and there are iguanas, but there
are roosters that are crowing in the middle of the day.
That was my thing. I'm like, I'm a country girl.
They're only supposed to do that in the early morning.
But they're growing it yet.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I think that's attention getting for food is what I
think is. Yeah. But the crazy thing about the iguana,
Jody and I were getting coffee and a breakfast sandwich
one morning and sitting on this bench and one came
out from underneath us, so big, one, big one, and
it was it was cool. It was beautiful to watch.
They don't want to they don't want to mess with you, No,
they just want to walk away.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Closer I got to that thing, he shot up a tree.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And then the place where we were saying, there were
little baby iguanas everywhere. It's like, oh, there's a mama
runner somewhere. Anyway, Kathy, uh, let me know how old
your kids are and I'll answer that question for you.
In fact, in one of our after the show podcasts
this week, which will be Tuesdays, we'll tell you all
about Key West. Yeah, today's after show will be about
sam solo vacation.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I would say that you can carve a Key West
trip into two different types. The kind where if it's
you know, adult kind of vegacy type get away for
a couple of days where you're gonna enjoy food and
libations and all that, but there's plenty of family of friendly,
family friendly things to do.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yes, Steven said regarding one of the pictures I shared
of a rooster on the roof of the Cuban Coffee
Queen place. My wife and I have a selfie with
that same rooster up on the roof. Sure you do, Steven.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Cuban Coffee Queen is special. That's a local. You know,
they've got like five four or five locations.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
And Becky says, I really like the chickens and the
polydactyl cats at the Hemingway House better than the iguanas.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You know what, And I was really surprised. I didn't know. Well,
I had to stop and think about how many toes
a regular cat has, and then when we saw the
six toes yeah, yeah, they do.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And there were fifty nine cats on that premises.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
You did the math we did toes, Yeah, exactly. One
of the cats actually has six toes on all four paws.
He was wow.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, anyway, it keeps his balance really well. Yeah, thank
you all of you who said happy birthday to me
while we were on vacation.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah, Joni's birthday was July third. I'm always on vacation
when it's your birthday.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
All of my life, I've been on vacation for my birthday.
And what a special place to be, What a special
thing that is. It's fantastic, and I always tell my
friends I'm on vacation. I don't actually have to age cute.
So I wanted to say thank you for all the
birthday love that, you know, I felt from everybody on
our Facebook and Instagram pages. It was very sweet, not
(21:16):
expected because we're on vacation. It's just a different whole
set of you know, your brain. And Murphy took me
on a and we're gonna do an after the show podcast.
I think tomorrow about our Key West trip, but I
was We did a sunset cruise for my birthday, which
I want to say this. I made one very big
mistake on vacation, and we're gonna get to that in
(21:38):
some of your comments coming up. Not enough coverage, not
enough sunscreen, not enough hats, not enough SPF. For me,
when we got back, I felt the sun and my
skin for days and I felt dehydrated for days.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Redhead fir skin. So obviously it's a lot worse for anybody.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
But for you it's we don't normally spend as much
time out in it. And we were doing outdoor things
for seven days in a row, six and seven days
in a row, and when I tell you just I
was burning for days inside. But another heads up thing
for about a sunset cruise is you get on the
cruise and it's a two hour thing and you get
(22:19):
on and you have a little light refreshments, You have
a drink if you want, and some food, but you're
in the sun until the end. You think it's gonna
be shady because it's a sunset cruise. Oh no, no, no, no,
you're burning up until the end and you're heading back.
Oh there it goes the sun, it's going down.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
This was fun. When I booked this Sam so it
was a schooner cruise and after I googled what a
schooner was, I could not remember. Oh, it's a sailboat. Okay,
it was awesome, but it was was. There were ten
couples and it was like this old school wooden boat
with sails. It had an engine too, and they just
took you a little bit, you know, off to the
(22:56):
I guess since it's Key West, you're really in the
Atlanta by that point. Yes, and fantastic, and it really was.
It was sweet. It's one of those where you just
look around as the sun sets in this giant body
of water and you're like, wow, there's so much everything
is so much bigger than me. Yeah, and it's just
like it puts it in perspective.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Remember, for a sunsets cruise, you're in the sun for
two hours, then the sunsets.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And a schooner has sails.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Sam, you know how Murphy is at airports? Oh, yes, uptight. Yeah,
wants to be first in line, is really afraid of
a plane leaving without him. It's the only time he
truly respects time.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Well, that's set the only time I respect time.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
It is. So I want to tell you a story
from vacation. So the first part of our vacation, Murphy
and I went to see our friends Mark and Audra
to spend a couple of days with them on the
lake on their lake. They live on a lake, and
we took a very early flight to see them, and
we probably shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Those are six am flights. We had to be there
at like four thirty four fifteen.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
And we had had a long day of work the
day before. This was the first day of our vacation.
It was not a good plan. So Murphy had like
two hours of sleep. I had three, And.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I couldn't believe that too, because you know, going straight
from where you're trying to get all those last minute
things before you go on vacation done. Maybe that's what
amped me up that night, that I couldn't backing cubes.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You were all excited about.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
That, well, I was. We'll share some of that magic later.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
So Murphy was not very awake airport check in and
I didn't drive.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Our oldest daughter, Tailor actually took us to the airport,
which is awesome to leave the car there, so I
wasn't even that forced alert. Okay, I gotta drive now, So.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'm rolling up our bags up to the kiosk or
you check in, and if it's me and Murph, you know,
he he likes to take over. He's as he leaves
the leader types I don't care, so he usually is
the one. So he raises his hand up slowly to
start putt, you know, and he gets stuck and he's
got this glaze over his face, and I'm like, this
is how our last name is spelled? Like, I'm literally going,
(24:58):
this is our last name type of I had to
take that over.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I was staring at the key house, going, okay, what
am I what to do? It's giving me directions but
it's nothing under this is computing at all. The line
is starting to build behind us, and.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
She felt so bad. I had to take over and check.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Outed to check us in because I literally couldn't. I
could not get my head wrapped her. How dumb is that?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
However, Murphy is still Murphy. So when it was time
to board, he got on before me. I had run
to the bathroom. He actually got on the airplane without
before me.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Well, I know we'd wind up sitting together.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
But when it's signed for me to scan in, she's like,
oh no, ma'am, you're already on this plane. What's the problem.
There's this big, big commotion. He went on the plane
as me. So I had I said, my husband is
on She scanned the wrong boarding pass.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yes, yes I did.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Thanks for that. I almost didn't get on the plane.
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Can also call
us anytime we like to hear from you so many
different ways. Robert sent us an email. Hey, guys, heard
her talking about the things you remember from the job.
What he means is the way your work shows up
in your life. It shows up for everyone.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yeah. Kind of like our daughter Phoebe. She's a server.
So if we're eating dinner together, she's gonna kind of
bust the table.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
She buses the table before the server comes back and
get it cheap and stacks everything up. You know, she
just does it shows up.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Teachers are in tune to grammar oftentimes nurses. Oh yes, so,
Robert says, heard you guys talking about this. I'm retired
railroad after thirty four years, and whenever I hear a
train in the distance, I listen to here. If the
if the blow of the horn is done correctly of
(26:43):
our crossing.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Oh really, two long blows.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
On the horn one short and then one more long.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
How I need to pay attention no trains all the
time where I live.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, so thank you for that, Robert. I just thought, honestly,
this is a dumb thing to say, but I never
thought about it. Number one. But number two, I guess
I thought it was just random.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yes, right, and you're coming up to an intersection, you
blow the horn, you get out the way.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
No, according to Robert, it's two long blows on the horn,
one short and then one more long.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Huh. Problem is, Jody, you and I live right next
to a railroad crossing. I don't hear the trains anymore,
so unless I really stop, most of the times they
will pass on.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
When we're in the house. Two things happen. You can
hear them because the dogs hear them and howl. And
you're too big. That's why you can't hear them, because
the dogs drown them out. When I go out and
walk in our neighborhood and the train comes, whoa, you
can't miss that. It's so close and so I'll definitely
be able to pick that up. So thank you, Robert
for That's cool. Too long, one short, and then one
(27:47):
more long. That's for the horn when crossing going over
a crossing, which is for safety reasons. And we love
hearing from you, Robert. Lisa says, glad you're back. Love
listening to you guys every day. You don't realize how
special you are to me. I hope you enjoyed your
vacation well deserved. Lisa, you don't know how special you
(28:08):
are to us. Yeah, even just to send that in
means the world because you don't have to join us anytime.

Brought to you by Mattress Firm. Number five.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I'm sorry about this for Kevin Costner, but the studio
has scrapped the second film of Horizon being released in
theaters later.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I haven't had much need of it yet.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Oh. He has spent his life preparing for this Horizon.
The first installment only made eleven million bucks in its
opening weekend in June, and so they're not going to release,
you know, the second part in August, like was originally planned,
and he spent oh one hundred million to make that
first one.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Number four four years after we first heard from Madonna
that her biopic was in the works that she was
going to make that happen. We now have a title.
It's gonna be called Who's That Girl, and she shared
on social media this week he told us about it,
Sam that she was like, you know, doing rewrights, working
it down. And the word is also that actress Julia

Number two debuted this week on Netflix. Murphy, I hope
(30:15):
you know I'm going to binge this this weekend. It's
only two parts that we can see Simone Biles rising.
I've always had really good intuition about things. So part
one is two episodes which you can catch now, basically
from what happened to her in the Tokyo Olympics where
she backed out and bowed out to her comeback. Now,
those are the first two episodes. The second two we
(30:37):
don't get until the fall after the Paris Olympics. Number

Speaker 4 (30:45):

Speaker 2 (30:49):
It does look good. Actor Glenn Powell, Anthony Remos, and
Daisy Edgar Rogers. You may know her from Where the
Crawdads Sing. The other thing I know about it. It's
not a direct sequel. It's a standalone sort of sequel movie,
rated PG thirteen, and it's an hour and fifty seven
minutes long.
