Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam & Jodi Weekend Show Podcast,
highlighting some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I want to say thanks to everybody, all the ladies
who joined me the other night on Facebook Live. Next
week when we do Girl Talk Tuesday, it's going to
be on Instagram Live. So just a little bit different.
Follow us on Instagram as well and we'll do that.
And I just wanted to say, when I'm doing that
with you online and it's live, I'm sorry if I
(00:26):
repeat myself. You know, I want it to be beneficial
for you. And so sometimes I repeat myself and I
know I do it.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Do you really?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I think so. You don't have you guys. It's not
the three of us. It's just me and everybody who's online.
And it's very fun and interactive. The other night we
did top things to thrift. What experts recommend you thrift
when you roll in. But I also shared the top
things I thrift. And we went into my closet, you know,
(00:53):
a couple of times. Yeah, went into the closet. I
showed all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
You showed the purses? Did you show the blouses?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I showed a handbag or two.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Mainly the number one thing that I thrift, and maybe
you don't know this because I usually do it by
myself or with girlfriends only, jeans.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I will go straight to the blue jeans rack.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh, I didn't. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Because they're very, it's a good purchase. A really good
pair of jeans can last you forever. You can dress
it up or down. And brand new, they can be
very expensive. I mean, I have a really couple of
good pair of jeans that I paid like $ 8 for.
And I am so proud of those and happy about those.
So a lot of this rolled in. And by the way,
I did repeat this during the on Facebook Live the
(01:35):
other night, but the top things that experts say you're
supposed to go for when you're thrifting is, number one
is like decor, home decor. You know, look at art
and look at statues and vases and things like that
because you can really decorate on a budget when thrifting.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yeah, and that's where you'll find the Van Goghs and stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah. The second thing being.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
The signing of the Declaration.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
The second thing being classic apparel. And for me, that's jeans.
You know, whatever that is for you. Maybe you're a
blazer girl or, you know, maybe you love belts, whatever.
Classic apparel is a good thing that you can save on.
And then the other thing being anything that's hobby-based. You know,
for Murphy, that would be electronics or something like that.
And that's exactly where you would go if you thrifted.
(02:18):
That's where I'd find him.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You would probably have a tough time finding current electronics,
I would think.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I mean, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
What I will say, though, is many thrift shops, like
a Goodwill, even if they're not going to resell it,
That's the place to recycle your electronics.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
True.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Because they will take it and it's not going to
go in a landfill somewhere.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Sonia said this during our Facebook Live. I'm a decor person.
I love to change things up a lot. And I
learned to thrift while being a stay-at-home mom with three kids.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
And I still do it. Yay, Sonia. So keep it coming.
We love having you along.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Bet you didn't know that Murphy tried his hand at
being a stand-up comedian again.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh, when?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Did I win?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You had your neck ablation the other day. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Where you get knocked out, you get whatever injected to
calm the nerves of the pain. And on the way home,
he is just one funny line after another. Because now
you know you're funny and you're trying to make me laugh.
I know you are. You even said you'll say something
(03:22):
and you'll cut your eyes over at me to see
if it landed.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
So I wasn't intentionally. Now, there were some things that
I just found naturally funny. And one of them are,
you know, they send you away with instructions on what
to do for the next 24 hours. And I found
one of the lines a little contradictory in there. I
thought it was odd, you know, the section about call
911 if these things happen. And one of them is
(03:45):
if you experience paralysis. Well, how am I supposed to
call 911 if I'm experiencing paralysis?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah. So that's what he's saying at the top of
his lungs on the way to get some food.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Is that your opening joke for your stand-up?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I guess it will be.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Actually, the opening, we weren't even out of the parking
lot yet, and you pulled out the sheet, your instructions,
and you were like... And you started reading them to me.
And you were like, it says, make sure that you
arrange for someone to drive you home after this procedure.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And you're like, huh. Told me this a little late.
What if I tried to drive home?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Because you also spent a long time on the way,
you know, in the elevator with the girl.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I drive to pick you up and she brings you,
you know, out.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And per usual, I look and she's standing there nodding
and you're talking her ear off. I'm like, he's trying
these jokes out on her. Because you are so, like,
you're tense on the way in. Before we get there,
we're tense, we're running late, but you're a completely different
person after all the good drugs or whatever. So the
first thing, you're like, you said that about having somebody
(04:52):
drive you home. And then we're pulling out, and I'm like,
it's time to get something to eat because you did
have to fast, which he thought he fasted for 29 hours.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I'm like, no.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I had the math wrong. I said, Jodi, I haven't
eaten in 29 hours. She said, that's not true.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
No, you ate last night. You ate 24 hours ago.
It's okay.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
But anyway.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
And it actually only been 17 hours.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I'm like, do you still want to go to the
same place? You want to drive there? And he goes,
and you go, yeah, let's go see a man about
a chicken sandwich.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But you're always cutting your eyes over it. I mean,
and make sure it lands.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So I was thinking maybe Sam could drive you home
next time if you want to try the jokes out
on him. Sam, it's been really hard for me not
to over-ask about how Lucy's doing, how she's doing in
her crate while.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You're gone during the day.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Sam's new dog.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
New rescue dog.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
She was fine when I got home and she got
out the crate and she'd never seen me before.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I have learned a couple things about her and one
of them I'm just totally thrilled about because my old
dog Gus would never do this.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I threw a tennis ball to test her.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
And she went after it.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Oh, she brought it back to you?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Well, that's the next step.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
She went after it. She picked it up and she
brought it back and was like, wouldn't come to me.
I was like, bring it here.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Bring it.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
But it's like, okay, I have a dog that will
chase something.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And then you just need to put some treats in
your pocket.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Yeah. And.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Bring her with a treat, and she will bring you balls.
That's crazy fun.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
The first couple days, she would not go all the
way to the back fence because the ducks were right
along there.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
The duck pond.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
The duck pond. Yesterday, she charged the fence and barked
at the ducks. So I got to hear her bark
for the first time.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
What's it sound like?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
It sounds like a dog bark.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Good.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Nothing special. By the way, the little doggies next door
were barking at her.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Of course, that scared her. She came running in the house.
And it wasn't until I shut the door that she
started barking at them. You know, when she's sick.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
She got her bravery on. You know, well, she was
in a shelter for you don't even know how long.
And so strange dogs barking, that could be like a,
I don't know, what do you call it? PTSD.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Right.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
And I discovered yesterday I was setting up the, she's microchipped.
So I was setting that up online with the company.
And I noticed that it said date of birth.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh, oh, oh.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
June of 2025.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You know, when Gus passed away.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
June of 2025.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh, is that true?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Now, they didn't have dates on there, but it's like, oh, wow.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Wow, she was meant to be yours.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
A lot of times, you know, dogs are going to rescue,
it's a guesstimate. They look at their teeth and try
to make a ballpark guesstimate.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, because her medical records, it says two years, so
it's really like, nah, we don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Well, that's meant to be.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I love this. I love it. Sweet Lucy.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, it sounds like she's going to continue to.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
show herself, push the bounds, like she's going to do
all the things.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Oh, and I guess she's getting more comfortable because it
was Zoomy time in the backyard, too. And that was
so nice. I haven't seen that since Gus was younger,
and it was so nice to see that.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Running all over. She's getting comfortable.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I love it. So exciting. And it's your birthday.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yay!
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Happy birthday. Social media connect.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I really do love hearing from you on Messenger, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok,
all the places you leave messages and some of these
Messenger messages coming in about what you like to thrift.
Once you've thrifted something and you've had a success with
something cool, you're always looking for that, right?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Once you've tasted success.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
The first time I bought a designer pair of jeans
for like $ 8, I was hooked.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It's a dopamine hit, isn't it?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
It is.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And saving money is just ingrained in me from my
grandmother and my family growing up. Every time we went shopping,
it was like, watch those price tags. So now, you know,
you do that when you thrift. Anita said, I bought
a Robert Rucker painting for $ 10 at Goodwill. I knew
what it was the minute I saw it. And glad
they didn't know.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
LOL.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
It's an American artist, a painter.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Art is a very specialized thing. I don't know that
I would recognize the good art like that walking in.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And I'm sure you can get a find.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I mean, I don't think I recognize good art either,
but I know what I like within one second.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
If I like it, it's going up. I don't care.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Rebecca said, my dad taught me to thrift. One of
my favorite memories with him. I can't say what I
thrift for, but if I want or need something, I
thrift first. And if I find something interesting, great. And
I love shopping sales and clearance as well.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Rebecca, I do that too. I've been known to walk
in a store, a retail store. Hi, how you doing?
Are you looking for anything? No, thank you. Straight to clearance.
I do it. I do it.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Lisa said, I love to thrift clothes, but I always
know brand names to look for. So I want to
see Jones of New York, Talbots, J.Crew brand names. Those
are the ones I look for and then see if
the color looks good on me. And I love thrift
stores that are color coordinated.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Oh, that is so helpful.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
What do you mean by color coordinated?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Sam, would you like to explain it?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Like all the reds and then they have all the
greens and then all the, like everything. They don't just
have a mishmash of shirts.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's not just small, medium, large. It's color.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Like my closet at home, I work really hard to
keep it Creams are here.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Grays are here.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Blues.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
So if you're looking for a red shirt, you know
where to go.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Same way I keep my closet.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's fantastic. Murphy doesn't keep his closet that way, but
it's okay.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
No judgment.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I keep it by shirt style, not by color.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Correct. All right.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Keep it coming.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Jump in anytime. Also, 877-310-4MSJ. Morning Pick Me Up time.
Wouldn't you like to know.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
What the attitude is and one of the keys to
longevity is from the world's oldest living person, according to
the World Book of Records.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Her name is Ethel. She's 117.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
She turned 117 in August. So just a couple weeks ago,
she had her. She was born in 1909.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
In the United Kingdom, when the great-great-grandfather of the current
King Charles was on the throne.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
And two weeks ago, when she turned 117, King Charles
visited her. And, you know, congratulations on being the youngest,
I mean, the oldest living person. And so she got
to meet the king.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
That's cool. Only took 117 years.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
But one of the things that she says that's a
key to her longevity. Now, sometimes when you ask people
in their 100s, and they'll say something like, well, I
drink a.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Coke every day or whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
A shot of whiskey.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Right. Right.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
She says one of the keys to hers is being non-confrontational.
She has a non-confrontational attitude, and she does not like
to argue, so she doesn't engage in arguments. Although she
says she rarely compromises, too.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's cute.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I'm thinking she just walks away from the discussion and
does what she wants. Anyway, so she's had a lot
of firsts in her last years of life. She got
to Meet the King. She petted a llama for the
first time the other day. She celebrated with family and
friends recently. She has outlived her husband by 50 years.
(12:25):
He died 50 years ago.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Murphy, she didn't remarry. You like that story?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
She actually outlived her two daughters, which is so sad.
You know she has been through some pain, but she
does have three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She used to
love to travel when she was younger. She was a
nanny for a British family living in India for many years. Anyway,
she is the oldest person alive because also earlier this year,
(12:52):
a nun who was 116 passed away. So now she's
the oldest person living, according to Guinness World Records.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Her name is Ethel, and the key is being non-confrontational.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
That works.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Today's a special day. Let's just kick it off with this.
Happy birthday, Sam.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Guess who brought you something?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Oh, all right.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Is it a cat? Is it a dog toy?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Is it something from Bucky's?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
It is not something from Bucky's.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I guess we've done that a little too much for you,
haven't we, Sam? Are you ready? But whoever wants to
turn down a gift from Bucky's, nobody. But that's not
what it is.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Okay, I'm getting there.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I didn't wrap it for a reason. It's just a bag,
so you can just dig right in.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Oh, all right. It's Jodi's Christmas mix early.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Snack mix.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I mean, I think that's not just Christmas. I know
I make it mostly at Christmas, but that's snack mix.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
And you know what I'm noticing, too, is this awesome container.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Because I can use this again.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yes, you can.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
This is a great container.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
It is a great container. Just a container from Wal-Mart.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Here's what's up, though. The basic snack mix recipe is this. Peanuts,
M & Ms, peanut M & Ms, raisins, and chocolate chips.
Those are the five things, and it's the best snack
mix ever. It's the perfect blend of salty and sweet
when you mix it all portions evenly.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
And not low-carb.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Not at all, but hard to stop eating. It's been
a while since you've had it, right?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Since Christmas.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Oh, really?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Yeah, because I never make it. I always just.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So is it.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
And I know I've asked you this before, but I
never remember. Equal amounts?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Equal amounts. I eyeball it. You could measure it, but
I always eyeball it. But I will say this.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I'm standing in the store in front of the chocolate chips,
and I always buy semi-sweet chips.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
And they were out of semi-sweet chips. Well, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The only ones they had were the tiny little mini ones.
And I'm thinking, I'm not putting mini chips in a
mix that you're supposed to grab, like a hunk full.
You know, you can eat that while watching football this weekend.
So I had to substitute. There was a substitute. The chips,
you see they look kind of fat?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
The chocolate chips are dark chocolate chips.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Oh, man, they taste good.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
And so Murphy was my sampler.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He already.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, I did. I can't control myself around that stuff,
which is why we don't keep it in the house.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
He didn't stick his fingers in your snack mix.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
No, I didn't. Although I almost did. It was tempting.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I mix it all up in a bowl. So there's
a little bowl at home. He got your leftovers or whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Man, these chips are great.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So yeah, straight up.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
The great substitute is dark chocolate chips in our mix.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
What brand was it? I'm going to shout that out.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Nestle Toulouse.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
As Phoebe Buffay says.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Anyway, happy birthday, Sam.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
The one who brings us so much laughter.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
877-310-4MSJ.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Anytime you'd like to jump into the conversation, you can
call or text that number.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
What's going on, Katie?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
I was just calling about a jury duty experience.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Oh, yeah. Tell.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Do tell. Okay.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
So, I have always wanted to be selected for jury duty,
and I... finally got selected last summer, like so excited.
Like I wanted to be picked so badly and I
ended up getting picked. And so I go, I report
on the day of the trial and I sit through
the entire trial and it was, it was awful. Like
(16:25):
the worst kind of trial you could imagine.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It was awful.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
And then the.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Judge starts giving us our jury results. instructions to go
and deliberate. And I'm thinking, oh, I'm going to nominate
myself to be the foreman or whatever it's called. And
as soon as he gets done giving the instructions, he
calls my name and the person sitting next to me
and says, y'all were actually selected as alternate for this case.
(16:52):
So you're service is complete. And it was like the
biggest punch in the gut. I was like, what? So
they like escorted us out. But he said we could
stay if we wanted to. And I was invested at
that point. So I wanted to stay. And one of
the bailiffs got on and was like, we have one
(17:13):
that wants to stay.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
They probably found that unusual.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
And so I stayed. But it was Such a punch
in the gut. Like, I was so invested at that point.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
I hate that phrase. That was just my one jerk.
But did you know that you can, like, go and
sign up and get the court docket and you can
just go sit in trials?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
No.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I feel like that's going to be, like, a new
hobby of mine.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Oh, you should then. Your interest is your interest.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
You should.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Anyway, random story.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
That's so awesome, Katie. I appreciate that. Not random, yeah.
And Katie called because I got the jury notice. Well,
the card, the information-seeking card, doesn't mean I'm going to
jury duty necessarily.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Doesn't mean you'll get picked, Murphy. No. But if you
did get picked, you would be the foreman for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I hope I'm not an alternate.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
If you become an alternate, will you stick around when
they dismiss you?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I mean, probably. I'm assuming they don't compensate you. That
would mean that the two of y'all would be doing
a show by yourselves. So, no.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Sam, that birthday gift I gave you yesterday, the snack mix.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, the Christmas snack mix.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Don't call it that.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
The overall snack mix. It's just snack mix.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
It's what Jodi usually does for Christmas, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Okay, so when you have a signature gift, food gift
that you give, even if you only do it once
a year, it's a great thing to have in your
back pocket because, honestly, I didn't know what to get
you for your birthday, and I almost bought you packing cubes.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
But then I thought packing cubes.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Packing cubes are just a suggestion.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
We think you'd love them. You're resistant, but it's also personal.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You know what I do predict? If Sam Everett gets
packing cubes and he gets them... Because Sam is a
gadget type, and it works. Once you see, and it
makes life so much easier when you travel.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
It looks so neat.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Your suitcase looks so neat.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You don't lose. And that's not that. You just don't
lose your stuff, you know?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
But the reason I didn't get them is because that's
a personal. You need to get the kind you want,
the look you want, when you finally do go there.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
You know what kind I want?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Nothing. Anyway, I bring it up because... I was trying
to think of what to get you.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And I thought, well, either make him pumpkin bread or
I can make him the mix.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Holds your horses.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
But it's a really good idea to have a signature
gift like that, not only because when you don't know
what to give, you can always give something you know
people like. You kind of become known for it, and
you end up having stories with people. Murphy, do you
remember that I used to make the mix for your parents?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I do.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
And it was always at Christmas.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And I would put it in a pretty canister, sometimes
with Christmas decor on it, and I would give it
to them. And we would see them in the early
part of the year after the new year. We would
walk into the house, and your mom would hand me
the empty container and go, Fill this anytime you want.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
And that made me laugh. It was so funny.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
It was sweet.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
That's the trick, huh? Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Well, maybe.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And then my grandfather, Papa, the preacher, you know, when
I would make mix for him and then I would
go to his house again a week later, I would
see that he had eaten all the chocolate but none
of the peanuts. He just was selective about eating it. Anyway,
it's a signature gift to have.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
You should have given him a jar of M & M' s.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I know.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Is this where you're going to give me the pumpkin
bread now?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
No, your birthday's over.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
No, I think what she's going to do is give
you a mix in a packing cube next time.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
By the way, get the method and the recipe for
the mix at murphysalmonjody.com. You know how you'll be saying
something and then it'll be in your feed because your
device is listening? Yes. So last week on Friday when
we were talking to my friend Angelia who had a
standing appointment with, at the nail salon with Dolly Parton and,
(21:01):
you know, told us what she gets, which is acrylic
and what color, always pink or red.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Like, thanks for that.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
That was so cool to know that. After that, we
were talking about Carl, her husband, Carl Dean. And I
had said that I was always so interested in how
they made that work.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
They definitely were opposites.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You know, he was a very private person and did
not want to be in the spotlight and he never was.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And She always talked about him in interviews and in concert.
So when Jodi wasn't able to go to this concert
with me and Taylor and Phoebe, you know, Dolly actually
talked about Carl several times.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Of course, of course.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So you know that they were tight. You just never
knew anything about it.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Sounds like they were best friends. But I thought, man,
that's the story I want to know. Like, what was
that like for him to be married to Dolly Parton,
who was in the spotlight all the time and he
never was? And as soon as we said that, I
started getting all weekend, Murphy, I got all these interviews
rolling into my feed where Dolly would talk about Carl
(22:04):
and what he was really like.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
And so one of them goes way back. And of course,
it's Barbara Walters pushing her hard about it.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
You don't see him very much. You're on the road
most of the time. You've said, I know that this
marriage will always last. This man gives me everything I need.
How do you know?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Well, I need freedom.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
The man gives me freedom. So why get married?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Well, why not?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Why?
Speaker 6 (22:28):
I mean, if what you want most is freedom, why
have a husband tucked away someplace to see six weeks
a year? But he has the same freedom. See, the
thing of it is, you don't find a person that
you can be happy with and that can accept you
the way you are and can share the things and
the plan for the future and to enjoy your home.
We have our foundation.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
We have our roots.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
We have all the things that everybody's looking for.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And that's happiness in a marriage.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
The reason I bring that up and play that for
you is that every interview that I watched over the weekend,
that's just one of them.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
She mentioned freedom.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
They gave each other personal freedom to be who you are,
which is why it worked.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
And they always came back to each other.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You know, so yeah, they were apart a lot, but
it worked for them because she never felt pressure from him.
And he never felt pressure for her to be somebody else.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That's the opposite of codependency, right?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It is. Again, something so healthy straight from the mouth
of Dolly.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Biggest mistakes that families make, people make in national parks.
But this is not just some list conjured up. This
is information from park rangers who've seen these mistakes over
and over again. We've all heard stories lately. You know,
whether it's weather or something that no one's fault.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Tragic stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
But scary, scary stuff. You have to realize, and nothing makes.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
You realize it more until you go into a national
park and you realize, oh, there's not a McDonald's on
the corner here.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I am in the middle of the wilderness.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I'm in the wild.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It's what makes it so beautiful and special and.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Rightly so protected.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah. So the biggest mistakes, and we'll get to the
getting too close to wildlife because, of course, that's on
the list, but it's not the first thing.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Murphy, you'll love the first thing.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Not checking current conditions, not knowing about the weather, not
knowing about the changes or what the forecast is. Different
levels of elevation and not wearing the right clothing and
not knowing, hey, it's going to rain or there's a
storm on the horizon or it's going to be 110 degrees.
at this peak or place. Not being ready for that
(24:26):
has gotten more people in trouble.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
And if you're not used to doing it in the
first place, if your time is in the city, like
you're saying, with everything you need on the corner, it's
not second nature to know that.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Which ones? I mean, who of us are ready for that?
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And the other thing about going into a national park, which,
you know, this is, and I know that you think
it's funny that I did this, but it's the reason
I got a Starlink, a little portable Starlink, is because
you go into a national park, at some point you
won't have cell service, depending on how deep you're in.
So you need the equipment to make sure that you
can actually stay connected to the outside world to get
that information.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Relying on self-service is one of the things on the list.
Just mistake that's made thinking you're going to have that. Like, well,
I'll call you when I'm ready to come out.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
No, you won't.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Right.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
You won't.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Not planning ahead in regards to, like, packing extra food
or water. Even if you're only planning to be there
for the day, just in case. What if something happens
and you twist your ankle and you can't get out
quick enough or something like that, and you don't have
enough water? You haven't planned ahead. So pack more than,
you know, you think you might need. Not telling someone
(25:33):
where you're going.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Somebody needs to know.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
You know, a lot of people who... Love being in
the national park and being in nature. Do like to
do it solo. That's why you hear about hiking.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And that's understandable.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
But somebody needs to know not only that you're going in,
but where are you planning?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
What trail? What part of the park?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
How long?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
There's more.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
We're going to get to it later for you. And
we'd love to hear your experiences, too. So join us anytime.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
877-310-4MSJ. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Love to
hear from you there. Send us messages, all of that.
You can email also at murphysamandjody.com, which Carly has done.
I'm going to read this, guys. Hello.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I've been noticing a trend that maybe Murphy and Sam
don't notice. But you can tell that Jody notices. And
I promise women are noticing this trend, too.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
What?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Whenever Jodi starts telling a story or answering a question,
Murphy often talks over her slash interrupts and gets Sam
to join in. It's frustrating to hear because I'm interested
in what Jodi has to say as well. I don't
need two dudes talking over her and laughing. Today, this
is when she sent this in the other day, she
started talking about when she saw her old high school
(26:52):
again and Murphy completely blew over her, getting Sam to.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Join in until she couldn't talk at all. Murphy, that's
your wife. Don't be that way. It's painful to listen to.
That's from Carly. I had to read this because Carly,
that's so sweet of you to say that.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
We do it to each other. Three people together doing
this every day.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
We do it to each other.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well, I don't remember that one either because we usually
do pick and poke fun at each other just to
have fun. So I don't know if that's what that was.
I don't remember the conversation.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I do. I do remember the conversation.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
We were talking about going back to high school and
I was going to say that I felt awkward when
I went back. Not long, like a year after you
graduate from high school and we all, you kind of
go back and you want to see it. It wasn't
long until I realized, oh, this is an awkward situation.
But I think you were just excited about what you
were saying.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I mean, it happens.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Can I talk now? Yeah. And to think about it too, it's,
I mean, there's three of us. Just like if you
were at work around the water cooler or the coffee
pot and three of you start talking, somebody's going to
interrupt the other person.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, it does happen a lot.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
In fact, Carly, it's interesting that you would write that
about Murphy and Sam because, honestly, I think the biggest
one that stands out is that I talk too much
and don't let you guys talk.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
We hear that, too, a lot. And that's because.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Because you are the anchor of the show.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
But it's just the way that it is. If you
did this every day with two other people, you would see.
I know that you guys never mean to step on me,
and I never mean to step on you. So I
wanted to just address that because Carly said it.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Thank you, Carly, though. I mean, look, we appreciate hearing
that because— You know, we want your day with us
to be a pleasant experience.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Correct. So thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Keep listening, and you can always take us along on
the podcast. Just search Murphy, Sam & Jody anywhere you
listen to podcasts. More mistakes that you don't want to
make when you go into a national park. Not that
anyone who gets in trouble in a national park has
made a mistake. You are a human being and you're
in a wild situation. But we touched on the fact
(29:05):
that know the weather, know the current conditions. And Murphy,
you nailed it. Don't rely on cell service. You will
lose cell service.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Guaranteed and if.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
You can do a backup great look there are a
lot of alternatives that you can even do sort of
a pay-as-you-go thing so that you have satellite access something
yeah if you're going to be gone for a while.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Murphy's the good tech person to have in the middle
of nowhere okay so this information though comes to us
from park rangers a lot of experience and one of
the mistakes that people make dressing inappropriately it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Mean wait wait wait dressing inappropriate you mean not dressing properly.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Not dressing properly meaning changing temperatures what if you get
wet you know you need to have layers and so
let me break this down 10 essentials recommended by the
national park service you will see this on all park
websites the 10 essentials you need to go into a
a park with, know that you need to have navigation.
You need to have thought about that. Sun protection, extra clothing,
(30:06):
first aid, light, flashlights, whatever. Fire, you need to have
the ability for fire. Repair tools, you know, your little
Swiss Army knives would be.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Good, stuff like that. Extra food, extra water.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
And the final one being shelter, a tent, especially if
you're going to spend significant time there or spend a
night those are essentials that they recommend you bring into
a national park.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
You know the weather one i remember when we went
to clingman's dome and the smokies i think we knew
that it was going to be cooler when we went
up there.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
But we were like freezing but we just yeah but.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
We were dressed for you know 90 degrees which is
what it was in the park and it was 55
up there oh wow it's uh yeah it's weird to
drive up and then yeah it's very exhilarating yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
If you've been stuck there it wouldn't have been exhilarating
no we were not ready for it at all um
A couple of other mistakes that families and people make.
And you knew I was going to get to getting
too close to wildlife. It's 25 yards or the length
of two buses for most wildlife. And then for, they say,
100 yards, you know, for predators like cougars and bears.
(31:12):
You want to stay as far as you can from them.
As far as you can. Do not go seeking them out.
And then another thing is just going too far.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
You're having a great hike. It's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Don't go further than you had planned. Because that's how
also people can get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Scary.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I guess, you know, remember, if you go in one direction,
you have that same distance to travel to go back
to where you came from in the first place.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Yeah.
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam & Jodi Weekend Show Podcast,
highlighting some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I want to say thanks to everybody, all the ladies
who joined me the other night on Facebook Live. Next
week when we do Girl Talk Tuesday, it's going to
be on Instagram Live. So just a little bit different.
Follow us on Instagram as well and we'll do that.
And I just wanted to say, when I'm doing that
with you online and it's live, I'm sorry if I
(00:26):
repeat myself. You know, I want it to be beneficial
for you. And so sometimes I repeat myself and I
know I do it.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Do you really?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I think so. You don't have you guys. It's not
the three of us. It's just me and everybody who's online.
And it's very fun and interactive. The other night we
did top things to thrift. What experts recommend you thrift
when you roll in. But I also shared the top
things I thrift. And we went into my closet, you know,
(00:53):
a couple of times. Yeah, went into the closet. I
showed all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
You showed the purses? Did you show the blouses?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I showed a handbag or two.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Mainly the number one thing that I thrift, and maybe
you don't know this because I usually do it by
myself or with girlfriends only, jeans.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I will go straight to the blue jeans rack.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh, I didn't. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Because they're very, it's a good purchase. A really good
pair of jeans can last you forever. You can dress
it up or down. And brand new, they can be
very expensive. I mean, I have a really couple of
good pair of jeans that I paid like $ 8 for.
And I am so proud of those and happy about those.
So a lot of this rolled in. And by the way,
I did repeat this during the on Facebook Live the
(01:35):
other night, but the top things that experts say you're
supposed to go for when you're thrifting is, number one
is like decor, home decor. You know, look at art
and look at statues and vases and things like that
because you can really decorate on a budget when thrifting.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yeah, and that's where you'll find the Van Goghs and stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah. The second thing being.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
The signing of the Declaration.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
The second thing being classic apparel. And for me, that's jeans.
You know, whatever that is for you. Maybe you're a
blazer girl or, you know, maybe you love belts, whatever.
Classic apparel is a good thing that you can save on.
And then the other thing being anything that's hobby-based. You know,
for Murphy, that would be electronics or something like that.
And that's exactly where you would go if you thrifted.
(02:18):
That's where I'd find him.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You would probably have a tough time finding current electronics,
I would think.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I mean, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
What I will say, though, is many thrift shops, like
a Goodwill, even if they're not going to resell it,
That's the place to recycle your electronics.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
True.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Because they will take it and it's not going to
go in a landfill somewhere.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Sonia said this during our Facebook Live. I'm a decor person.
I love to change things up a lot. And I
learned to thrift while being a stay-at-home mom with three kids.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
And I still do it. Yay, Sonia. So keep it coming.
We love having you along.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Bet you didn't know that Murphy tried his hand at
being a stand-up comedian again.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh, when?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Did I win?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You had your neck ablation the other day. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Where you get knocked out, you get whatever injected to
calm the nerves of the pain. And on the way home,
he is just one funny line after another. Because now
you know you're funny and you're trying to make me laugh.
I know you are. You even said you'll say something
(03:22):
and you'll cut your eyes over at me to see
if it landed.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
So I wasn't intentionally. Now, there were some things that
I just found naturally funny. And one of them are,
you know, they send you away with instructions on what
to do for the next 24 hours. And I found
one of the lines a little contradictory in there. I
thought it was odd, you know, the section about call
911 if these things happen. And one of them is
(03:45):
if you experience paralysis. Well, how am I supposed to
call 911 if I'm experiencing paralysis?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah. So that's what he's saying at the top of
his lungs on the way to get some food.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Is that your opening joke for your stand-up?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I guess it will be.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Actually, the opening, we weren't even out of the parking
lot yet, and you pulled out the sheet, your instructions,
and you were like... And you started reading them to me.
And you were like, it says, make sure that you
arrange for someone to drive you home after this procedure.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And you're like, huh. Told me this a little late.
What if I tried to drive home?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Because you also spent a long time on the way,
you know, in the elevator with the girl.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I drive to pick you up and she brings you,
you know, out.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And per usual, I look and she's standing there nodding
and you're talking her ear off. I'm like, he's trying
these jokes out on her. Because you are so, like,
you're tense on the way in. Before we get there,
we're tense, we're running late, but you're a completely different
person after all the good drugs or whatever. So the
first thing, you're like, you said that about having somebody
(04:52):
drive you home. And then we're pulling out, and I'm like,
it's time to get something to eat because you did
have to fast, which he thought he fasted for 29 hours.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I'm like, no.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I had the math wrong. I said, Jodi, I haven't
eaten in 29 hours. She said, that's not true.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
No, you ate last night. You ate 24 hours ago.
It's okay.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
But anyway.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
And it actually only been 17 hours.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I'm like, do you still want to go to the
same place? You want to drive there? And he goes,
and you go, yeah, let's go see a man about
a chicken sandwich.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But you're always cutting your eyes over it. I mean,
and make sure it lands.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So I was thinking maybe Sam could drive you home
next time if you want to try the jokes out
on him. Sam, it's been really hard for me not
to over-ask about how Lucy's doing, how she's doing in
her crate while.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You're gone during the day.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Sam's new dog.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
New rescue dog.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
She was fine when I got home and she got
out the crate and she'd never seen me before.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I have learned a couple things about her and one
of them I'm just totally thrilled about because my old
dog Gus would never do this.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I threw a tennis ball to test her.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
And she went after it.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Oh, she brought it back to you?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Well, that's the next step.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
She went after it. She picked it up and she
brought it back and was like, wouldn't come to me.
I was like, bring it here.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Bring it.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
But it's like, okay, I have a dog that will
chase something.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And then you just need to put some treats in
your pocket.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Yeah. And.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Bring her with a treat, and she will bring you balls.
That's crazy fun.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
The first couple days, she would not go all the
way to the back fence because the ducks were right
along there.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
The duck pond.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
The duck pond. Yesterday, she charged the fence and barked
at the ducks. So I got to hear her bark
for the first time.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
What's it sound like?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
It sounds like a dog bark.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Good.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Nothing special. By the way, the little doggies next door
were barking at her.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Of course, that scared her. She came running in the house.
And it wasn't until I shut the door that she
started barking at them. You know, when she's sick.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
She got her bravery on. You know, well, she was
in a shelter for you don't even know how long.
And so strange dogs barking, that could be like a,
I don't know, what do you call it? PTSD.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Right.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
And I discovered yesterday I was setting up the, she's microchipped.
So I was setting that up online with the company.
And I noticed that it said date of birth.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh, oh, oh.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
June of 2025.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You know, when Gus passed away.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
June of 2025.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh, is that true?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Now, they didn't have dates on there, but it's like, oh, wow.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Wow, she was meant to be yours.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
A lot of times, you know, dogs are going to rescue,
it's a guesstimate. They look at their teeth and try
to make a ballpark guesstimate.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, because her medical records, it says two years, so
it's really like, nah, we don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Well, that's meant to be.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I love this. I love it. Sweet Lucy.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, it sounds like she's going to continue to.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
show herself, push the bounds, like she's going to do
all the things.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Oh, and I guess she's getting more comfortable because it
was Zoomy time in the backyard, too. And that was
so nice. I haven't seen that since Gus was younger,
and it was so nice to see that.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Running all over. She's getting comfortable.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I love it. So exciting. And it's your birthday.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yay!
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Happy birthday. Social media connect.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I really do love hearing from you on Messenger, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok,
all the places you leave messages and some of these
Messenger messages coming in about what you like to thrift.
Once you've thrifted something and you've had a success with
something cool, you're always looking for that, right?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Once you've tasted success.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
The first time I bought a designer pair of jeans
for like $ 8, I was hooked.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It's a dopamine hit, isn't it?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
It is.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And saving money is just ingrained in me from my
grandmother and my family growing up. Every time we went shopping,
it was like, watch those price tags. So now, you know,
you do that when you thrift. Anita said, I bought
a Robert Rucker painting for $ 10 at Goodwill. I knew
what it was the minute I saw it. And glad
they didn't know.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
LOL.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
It's an American artist, a painter.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Art is a very specialized thing. I don't know that
I would recognize the good art like that walking in.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And I'm sure you can get a find.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I mean, I don't think I recognize good art either,
but I know what I like within one second.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
If I like it, it's going up. I don't care.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Rebecca said, my dad taught me to thrift. One of
my favorite memories with him. I can't say what I
thrift for, but if I want or need something, I
thrift first. And if I find something interesting, great. And
I love shopping sales and clearance as well.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Rebecca, I do that too. I've been known to walk
in a store, a retail store. Hi, how you doing?
Are you looking for anything? No, thank you. Straight to clearance.
I do it. I do it.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Lisa said, I love to thrift clothes, but I always
know brand names to look for. So I want to
see Jones of New York, Talbots, J.Crew brand names. Those
are the ones I look for and then see if
the color looks good on me. And I love thrift
stores that are color coordinated.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Oh, that is so helpful.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
What do you mean by color coordinated?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Sam, would you like to explain it?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Like all the reds and then they have all the
greens and then all the, like everything. They don't just
have a mishmash of shirts.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's not just small, medium, large. It's color.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Like my closet at home, I work really hard to
keep it Creams are here.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Grays are here.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Blues.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
So if you're looking for a red shirt, you know
where to go.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Same way I keep my closet.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's fantastic. Murphy doesn't keep his closet that way, but
it's okay.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
No judgment.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I keep it by shirt style, not by color.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Correct. All right.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Keep it coming.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Jump in anytime. Also, 877-310-4MSJ. Morning Pick Me Up time.
Wouldn't you like to know.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
What the attitude is and one of the keys to
longevity is from the world's oldest living person, according to
the World Book of Records.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Her name is Ethel. She's 117.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
She turned 117 in August. So just a couple weeks ago,
she had her. She was born in 1909.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
In the United Kingdom, when the great-great-grandfather of the current
King Charles was on the throne.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
And two weeks ago, when she turned 117, King Charles
visited her. And, you know, congratulations on being the youngest,
I mean, the oldest living person. And so she got
to meet the king.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
That's cool. Only took 117 years.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
But one of the things that she says that's a
key to her longevity. Now, sometimes when you ask people
in their 100s, and they'll say something like, well, I
drink a.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Coke every day or whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
A shot of whiskey.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Right. Right.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
She says one of the keys to hers is being non-confrontational.
She has a non-confrontational attitude, and she does not like
to argue, so she doesn't engage in arguments. Although she
says she rarely compromises, too.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's cute.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I'm thinking she just walks away from the discussion and
does what she wants. Anyway, so she's had a lot
of firsts in her last years of life. She got
to Meet the King. She petted a llama for the
first time the other day. She celebrated with family and
friends recently. She has outlived her husband by 50 years.
(12:25):
He died 50 years ago.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Murphy, she didn't remarry. You like that story?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
She actually outlived her two daughters, which is so sad.
You know she has been through some pain, but she
does have three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She used to
love to travel when she was younger. She was a
nanny for a British family living in India for many years. Anyway,
she is the oldest person alive because also earlier this year,
(12:52):
a nun who was 116 passed away. So now she's
the oldest person living, according to Guinness World Records.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Her name is Ethel, and the key is being non-confrontational.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
That works.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Today's a special day. Let's just kick it off with this.
Happy birthday, Sam.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Guess who brought you something?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Oh, all right.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Is it a cat? Is it a dog toy?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Is it something from Bucky's?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
It is not something from Bucky's.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I guess we've done that a little too much for you,
haven't we, Sam? Are you ready? But whoever wants to
turn down a gift from Bucky's, nobody. But that's not
what it is.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Okay, I'm getting there.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I didn't wrap it for a reason. It's just a bag,
so you can just dig right in.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Oh, all right. It's Jodi's Christmas mix early.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Snack mix.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I mean, I think that's not just Christmas. I know
I make it mostly at Christmas, but that's snack mix.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
And you know what I'm noticing, too, is this awesome container.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Because I can use this again.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yes, you can.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
This is a great container.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
It is a great container. Just a container from Wal-Mart.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Here's what's up, though. The basic snack mix recipe is this. Peanuts,
M & Ms, peanut M & Ms, raisins, and chocolate chips.
Those are the five things, and it's the best snack
mix ever. It's the perfect blend of salty and sweet
when you mix it all portions evenly.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
And not low-carb.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Not at all, but hard to stop eating. It's been
a while since you've had it, right?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Since Christmas.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Oh, really?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Yeah, because I never make it. I always just.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So is it.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
And I know I've asked you this before, but I
never remember. Equal amounts?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Equal amounts. I eyeball it. You could measure it, but
I always eyeball it. But I will say this.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I'm standing in the store in front of the chocolate chips,
and I always buy semi-sweet chips.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
And they were out of semi-sweet chips. Well, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The only ones they had were the tiny little mini ones.
And I'm thinking, I'm not putting mini chips in a
mix that you're supposed to grab, like a hunk full.
You know, you can eat that while watching football this weekend.
So I had to substitute. There was a substitute. The chips,
you see they look kind of fat?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
The chocolate chips are dark chocolate chips.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Oh, man, they taste good.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
And so Murphy was my sampler.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He already.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, I did. I can't control myself around that stuff,
which is why we don't keep it in the house.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
He didn't stick his fingers in your snack mix.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
No, I didn't. Although I almost did. It was tempting.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I mix it all up in a bowl. So there's
a little bowl at home. He got your leftovers or whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Man, these chips are great.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So yeah, straight up.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
The great substitute is dark chocolate chips in our mix.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
What brand was it? I'm going to shout that out.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Nestle Toulouse.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
As Phoebe Buffay says.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Anyway, happy birthday, Sam.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
The one who brings us so much laughter.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
877-310-4MSJ.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Anytime you'd like to jump into the conversation, you can
call or text that number.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
What's going on, Katie?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
I was just calling about a jury duty experience.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Oh, yeah. Tell.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Do tell. Okay.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
So, I have always wanted to be selected for jury duty,
and I... finally got selected last summer, like so excited.
Like I wanted to be picked so badly and I
ended up getting picked. And so I go, I report
on the day of the trial and I sit through
the entire trial and it was, it was awful. Like
(16:25):
the worst kind of trial you could imagine.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It was awful.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
And then the.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Judge starts giving us our jury results. instructions to go
and deliberate. And I'm thinking, oh, I'm going to nominate
myself to be the foreman or whatever it's called. And
as soon as he gets done giving the instructions, he
calls my name and the person sitting next to me
and says, y'all were actually selected as alternate for this case.
(16:52):
So you're service is complete. And it was like the
biggest punch in the gut. I was like, what? So
they like escorted us out. But he said we could
stay if we wanted to. And I was invested at
that point. So I wanted to stay. And one of
the bailiffs got on and was like, we have one
(17:13):
that wants to stay.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
They probably found that unusual.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
And so I stayed. But it was Such a punch
in the gut. Like, I was so invested at that point.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
I hate that phrase. That was just my one jerk.
But did you know that you can, like, go and
sign up and get the court docket and you can
just go sit in trials?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
No.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I feel like that's going to be, like, a new
hobby of mine.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Oh, you should then. Your interest is your interest.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
You should.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Anyway, random story.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
That's so awesome, Katie. I appreciate that. Not random, yeah.
And Katie called because I got the jury notice. Well,
the card, the information-seeking card, doesn't mean I'm going to
jury duty necessarily.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Doesn't mean you'll get picked, Murphy. No. But if you
did get picked, you would be the foreman for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I hope I'm not an alternate.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
If you become an alternate, will you stick around when
they dismiss you?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I mean, probably. I'm assuming they don't compensate you. That
would mean that the two of y'all would be doing
a show by yourselves. So, no.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Sam, that birthday gift I gave you yesterday, the snack mix.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, the Christmas snack mix.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Don't call it that.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
The overall snack mix. It's just snack mix.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
It's what Jodi usually does for Christmas, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Okay, so when you have a signature gift, food gift
that you give, even if you only do it once
a year, it's a great thing to have in your
back pocket because, honestly, I didn't know what to get
you for your birthday, and I almost bought you packing cubes.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
But then I thought packing cubes.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Packing cubes are just a suggestion.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
We think you'd love them. You're resistant, but it's also personal.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You know what I do predict? If Sam Everett gets
packing cubes and he gets them... Because Sam is a
gadget type, and it works. Once you see, and it
makes life so much easier when you travel.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
It looks so neat.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Your suitcase looks so neat.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You don't lose. And that's not that. You just don't
lose your stuff, you know?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
But the reason I didn't get them is because that's
a personal. You need to get the kind you want,
the look you want, when you finally do go there.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
You know what kind I want?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Nothing. Anyway, I bring it up because... I was trying
to think of what to get you.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And I thought, well, either make him pumpkin bread or
I can make him the mix.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Holds your horses.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
But it's a really good idea to have a signature
gift like that, not only because when you don't know
what to give, you can always give something you know
people like. You kind of become known for it, and
you end up having stories with people. Murphy, do you
remember that I used to make the mix for your parents?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I do.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
And it was always at Christmas.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And I would put it in a pretty canister, sometimes
with Christmas decor on it, and I would give it
to them. And we would see them in the early
part of the year after the new year. We would
walk into the house, and your mom would hand me
the empty container and go, Fill this anytime you want.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
And that made me laugh. It was so funny.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
It was sweet.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
That's the trick, huh? Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Well, maybe.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And then my grandfather, Papa, the preacher, you know, when
I would make mix for him and then I would
go to his house again a week later, I would
see that he had eaten all the chocolate but none
of the peanuts. He just was selective about eating it. Anyway,
it's a signature gift to have.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
You should have given him a jar of M & M' s.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I know.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Is this where you're going to give me the pumpkin
bread now?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
No, your birthday's over.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
No, I think what she's going to do is give
you a mix in a packing cube next time.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
By the way, get the method and the recipe for
the mix at murphysalmonjody.com. You know how you'll be saying
something and then it'll be in your feed because your
device is listening? Yes. So last week on Friday when
we were talking to my friend Angelia who had a
standing appointment with, at the nail salon with Dolly Parton and,
(21:01):
you know, told us what she gets, which is acrylic
and what color, always pink or red.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Like, thanks for that.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
That was so cool to know that. After that, we
were talking about Carl, her husband, Carl Dean. And I
had said that I was always so interested in how
they made that work.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
They definitely were opposites.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You know, he was a very private person and did
not want to be in the spotlight and he never was.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And She always talked about him in interviews and in concert.
So when Jodi wasn't able to go to this concert
with me and Taylor and Phoebe, you know, Dolly actually
talked about Carl several times.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Of course, of course.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So you know that they were tight. You just never
knew anything about it.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Sounds like they were best friends. But I thought, man,
that's the story I want to know. Like, what was
that like for him to be married to Dolly Parton,
who was in the spotlight all the time and he
never was? And as soon as we said that, I
started getting all weekend, Murphy, I got all these interviews
rolling into my feed where Dolly would talk about Carl
(22:04):
and what he was really like.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
And so one of them goes way back. And of course,
it's Barbara Walters pushing her hard about it.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
You don't see him very much. You're on the road
most of the time. You've said, I know that this
marriage will always last. This man gives me everything I need.
How do you know?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Well, I need freedom.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
The man gives me freedom. So why get married?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Well, why not?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Why?
Speaker 6 (22:28):
I mean, if what you want most is freedom, why
have a husband tucked away someplace to see six weeks
a year? But he has the same freedom. See, the
thing of it is, you don't find a person that
you can be happy with and that can accept you
the way you are and can share the things and
the plan for the future and to enjoy your home.
We have our foundation.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
We have our roots.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
We have all the things that everybody's looking for.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And that's happiness in a marriage.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
The reason I bring that up and play that for
you is that every interview that I watched over the weekend,
that's just one of them.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
She mentioned freedom.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
They gave each other personal freedom to be who you are,
which is why it worked.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
And they always came back to each other.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You know, so yeah, they were apart a lot, but
it worked for them because she never felt pressure from him.
And he never felt pressure for her to be somebody else.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That's the opposite of codependency, right?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It is. Again, something so healthy straight from the mouth
of Dolly.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Biggest mistakes that families make, people make in national parks.
But this is not just some list conjured up. This
is information from park rangers who've seen these mistakes over
and over again. We've all heard stories lately. You know,
whether it's weather or something that no one's fault.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Tragic stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
But scary, scary stuff. You have to realize, and nothing makes.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
You realize it more until you go into a national
park and you realize, oh, there's not a McDonald's on
the corner here.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I am in the middle of the wilderness.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I'm in the wild.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It's what makes it so beautiful and special and.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Rightly so protected.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah. So the biggest mistakes, and we'll get to the
getting too close to wildlife because, of course, that's on
the list, but it's not the first thing.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Murphy, you'll love the first thing.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Not checking current conditions, not knowing about the weather, not
knowing about the changes or what the forecast is. Different
levels of elevation and not wearing the right clothing and
not knowing, hey, it's going to rain or there's a
storm on the horizon or it's going to be 110 degrees.
at this peak or place. Not being ready for that
(24:26):
has gotten more people in trouble.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
And if you're not used to doing it in the
first place, if your time is in the city, like
you're saying, with everything you need on the corner, it's
not second nature to know that.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Which ones? I mean, who of us are ready for that?
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And the other thing about going into a national park, which,
you know, this is, and I know that you think
it's funny that I did this, but it's the reason
I got a Starlink, a little portable Starlink, is because
you go into a national park, at some point you
won't have cell service, depending on how deep you're in.
So you need the equipment to make sure that you
can actually stay connected to the outside world to get
that information.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Relying on self-service is one of the things on the list.
Just mistake that's made thinking you're going to have that. Like, well,
I'll call you when I'm ready to come out.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
No, you won't.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Right.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
You won't.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Not planning ahead in regards to, like, packing extra food
or water. Even if you're only planning to be there
for the day, just in case. What if something happens
and you twist your ankle and you can't get out
quick enough or something like that, and you don't have
enough water? You haven't planned ahead. So pack more than,
you know, you think you might need. Not telling someone
(25:33):
where you're going.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Somebody needs to know.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
You know, a lot of people who... Love being in
the national park and being in nature. Do like to
do it solo. That's why you hear about hiking.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And that's understandable.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
But somebody needs to know not only that you're going in,
but where are you planning?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
What trail? What part of the park?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
How long?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
There's more.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
We're going to get to it later for you. And
we'd love to hear your experiences, too. So join us anytime.

I'm going to read this, guys. Hello.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I've been noticing a trend that maybe Murphy and Sam
don't notice. But you can tell that Jody notices. And
I promise women are noticing this trend, too.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
What?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Whenever Jodi starts telling a story or answering a question,
Murphy often talks over her slash interrupts and gets Sam
to join in. It's frustrating to hear because I'm interested
in what Jodi has to say as well. I don't
need two dudes talking over her and laughing. Today, this
is when she sent this in the other day, she
started talking about when she saw her old high school
(26:52):
again and Murphy completely blew over her, getting Sam to.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Join in until she couldn't talk at all. Murphy, that's
your wife. Don't be that way. It's painful to listen to.
That's from Carly. I had to read this because Carly,
that's so sweet of you to say that.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
We do it to each other. Three people together doing
this every day.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
We do it to each other.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well, I don't remember that one either because we usually
do pick and poke fun at each other just to
have fun. So I don't know if that's what that was.
I don't remember the conversation.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I do. I do remember the conversation.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
We were talking about going back to high school and
I was going to say that I felt awkward when
I went back. Not long, like a year after you
graduate from high school and we all, you kind of
go back and you want to see it. It wasn't
long until I realized, oh, this is an awkward situation.
But I think you were just excited about what you
were saying.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I mean, it happens.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Can I talk now? Yeah. And to think about it too, it's,
I mean, there's three of us. Just like if you
were at work around the water cooler or the coffee
pot and three of you start talking, somebody's going to
interrupt the other person.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, it does happen a lot.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
In fact, Carly, it's interesting that you would write that
about Murphy and Sam because, honestly, I think the biggest
one that stands out is that I talk too much
and don't let you guys talk.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
We hear that, too, a lot. And that's because.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Because you are the anchor of the show.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
But it's just the way that it is. If you
did this every day with two other people, you would see.
I know that you guys never mean to step on me,
and I never mean to step on you. So I
wanted to just address that because Carly said it.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Thank you, Carly, though. I mean, look, we appreciate hearing
that because— You know, we want your day with us
to be a pleasant experience.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Correct. So thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Keep listening, and you can always take us along on
the podcast. Just search Murphy, Sam & Jody anywhere you
listen to podcasts. More mistakes that you don't want to
make when you go into a national park. Not that
anyone who gets in trouble in a national park has
made a mistake. You are a human being and you're
in a wild situation. But we touched on the fact
(29:05):
that know the weather, know the current conditions. And Murphy,
you nailed it. Don't rely on cell service. You will
lose cell service.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Guaranteed and if.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
You can do a backup great look there are a
lot of alternatives that you can even do sort of
a pay-as-you-go thing so that you have satellite access something
yeah if you're going to be gone for a while.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Murphy's the good tech person to have in the middle
of nowhere okay so this information though comes to us
from park rangers a lot of experience and one of
the mistakes that people make dressing inappropriately it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Mean wait wait wait dressing inappropriate you mean not dressing properly.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Not dressing properly meaning changing temperatures what if you get
wet you know you need to have layers and so
let me break this down 10 essentials recommended by the
national park service you will see this on all park
websites the 10 essentials you need to go into a
a park with, know that you need to have navigation.
You need to have thought about that. Sun protection, extra clothing,
(30:06):
first aid, light, flashlights, whatever. Fire, you need to have
the ability for fire. Repair tools, you know, your little
Swiss Army knives would be.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Good, stuff like that. Extra food, extra water.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
And the final one being shelter, a tent, especially if
you're going to spend significant time there or spend a
night those are essentials that they recommend you bring into
a national park.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
You know the weather one i remember when we went
to clingman's dome and the smokies i think we knew
that it was going to be cooler when we went
up there.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
But we were like freezing but we just yeah but.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
We were dressed for you know 90 degrees which is
what it was in the park and it was 55
up there oh wow it's uh yeah it's weird to
drive up and then yeah it's very exhilarating yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
If you've been stuck there it wouldn't have been exhilarating
no we were not ready for it at all um
A couple of other mistakes that families and people make.
And you knew I was going to get to getting
too close to wildlife. It's 25 yards or the length
of two buses for most wildlife. And then for, they say,
100 yards, you know, for predators like cougars and bears.
(31:12):
You want to stay as far as you can from them.
As far as you can. Do not go seeking them out.
And then another thing is just going too far.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
You're having a great hike. It's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Don't go further than you had planned. Because that's how
also people can get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Scary.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I guess, you know, remember, if you go in one direction,
you have that same distance to travel to go back
to where you came from in the first place.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Yeah.
