Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm going to tell you a little behind the scenes
here about something that Murphy can't resist in this life.
Was going to say that though can't resist appetizers or
dessert sometimes.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Man. That's the biggest challenge to me being on a diet.
Is I love food.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Everyone You're supposed to love food. I know, it's your nutrients.
You need food to be alive. And hungry people, I
mean healthy people are hungry. Remember that and forgive yourself
for being hungry. Okay, No, the secret or the behind
the scenes that I want to tell about Murphy is this.
And you don't know these things about a person until
you live with them or marry them. And I remember
the first time I realized this was when I was oh,
(00:47):
that you got this from your family.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
So let me just tell you this quick story.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yesterday afternoon, I was coming home from yoga and on
the way home, there were like two fire trucks that
went past me, you know, on our street, Like wow,
here's an ambulance and here's two fire trucks. I'm like, oh,
look where they're going. I get to the house, Murphy's
at home having some lunch. And while he's having lunch
and we're just catching up and hey, how is yoga,
two or three more emergency vehicles go flying down our
(01:13):
street and I'm like, oh, well, I hope everything's okay
down there.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I see you later.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
He's going back to work, or so he said. I know, Murphy,
you cannot help yourself.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
You have to know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
We've had situations we're on the waste to something and
there's there's emergency vehicles or something going on in a
parking lot, and he will stop the car and like,
I need to know what's going on here.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
And what's funny is that I say, you got.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
This from your family, because I remember the first time
I realized, oh, this is where you got it from
your Family's the same way the first time I went.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
On a beach vacation.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You guys, you and your whole family, they spent like
thirty minutes on the balcony trying to find out what
was going on with somebody's tent down, you know, several
feet down the beach, and I'm like, I'm to go inside.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I'm gonna take a bath.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know what, what was the tent problem.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I didn't care. I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
If it's not my business, I usually I just don't care.
We are not built the same way, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
In that way, some people would say it's nosiness, and
I guess it is, but it's really more about just interest.
So let me tell you about the you make a
good news emergency vehicles and all that kind of stuff.
And I definitely get that from my late grandfather, my
late dad. Also, my grandfather, if he saw a smoke
somewhere would grab two things, his car keys and his
(02:37):
eight millimeter camera motion picture camera.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Oh, I thought you were going to say, like fire extinguish.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Right now, and he was going to go see what
was going on. Now. My grandfather would if he thought
he could help somebody, he absolutely would do that. I mean,
he'd stretch a garden hose as far as he needed
to if he needed to help somebody. So yeah, absolutely,
it's not just about you.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Know, I'm not calling you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I don't know what's inquis, you know. And it's probably
the same reason that these kind of thing things make
headlines and become viral and social media and all that
you know what I mean, because there's just a natural
curiosity about things. There's some there's some human condition, it's
like that. But my parents had a police scanner.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I was about to ask them.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, and you know, so you grew up hearing.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
You knew my dad would monitor aviation flights coming in
and out of the city, city police, sheriff's office, and fire. Yeah,
and I guess emergency medical services too, but you know,
fire and paramedics are usually the first to respond on
any sort of medical emergency too. And yeah, and they
(03:43):
would actually they'd go to sleep with it on at night.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
What Yeah, so information was currency?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, and then here you want to know what else
complicated things? When I first got into radio, which is
you know, we still do the career, one of my
first jobs is to report traffic. This is before you
had Google Maps and everything, and you know, we still
have traffic reports on radio stations. But you would monitor
the police scanner to know what was going on, so
(04:10):
your ear would become attuned to you know, is this
a traffic accident or is this something else? And so
and and as you know, I also bought a scanner.
At one point we.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Were stuck in traffic recently, and he's like, reach back
in the back seat and grab that thing from him, Like.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
What, But that's the sea, that's the CB, which I've
quickly found out no one uses. You can get on
and wait for information. Nobody's talking.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
But what happened yesterday is after he left, thirty or
forty minutes well twenty or thirty minutes goes by.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I'm like cleaning the kits. I remember what I was doing.
He called.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah. I'm like, I hope somebody's okay down there, but
I'm in my life and he calls me back. He
calls me, and I'm thinking, what's he calling me for.
He's and he's like, so I.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Went down there.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
He's not even back at work at You went down
the street to, you know, find where all the emergency
vehicles were going, and unfortunately you found out nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, well so I did. It took me a minute.
I finally found where the emergency vehicles were going because
I actually drove up and down our street three or
four times. It's like, okay, well they can't all be gone,
you know. I mean when it was, it was an
insane number of vehicles. That's why I really thought I
even checked my photocens. There's some breaking news going on.
(05:29):
But I had to literally weave through most of the
neighborhood and I finally found the street and actually the
street blocked off and there were I mean, I don't
know that I've ever seen anything like this. There were
four fire trucks. There were four other fire vehicles, like
I don't know if there's a fire marshal or whatever,
like you know, they've got their own little SUVs or whatever.
An emergency medical services unit was there also. I'm trying
(05:53):
to think of what the one other thing was. But
I mean, in the street was blocked and I'm thinking
this has got to be major, right, I can't even
go in there. But I didn't see smoke. And that's
when I finally, like Sam said, it's like, oh, it's
time for me to get back to my life.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
So you didn't pull up to the officer block in
the street and say.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Hey, why not? I couldn't, you know, And I'm glad
for you for not because then I became concerned is
this something more serious? Like, you know, was it a
time or something? Yeah? Right, so I just I just
I let it be. But yeah, there's an but you
understand why I would be that curious, right, It's not
wasn't just worry.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It were more curious if it's on our street. I
understand that, but I would never But it was more
do back at work.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I would have gone back to weel.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I know, but I didn't have any I wasn't missing
anything at work at that point yet, not that we
know of. But four fire trucks and that many other
emergency vehicles and ems and all that on site.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That's a lot, and that's ingrained in you today.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Surprises me. Here is as much as everything in life.
Murphy doesn't let it go.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
He's got to see it through to the end, to
chase them around and find out where they are and
go okay without finding out why are you here?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah? I know, I just I didn't feel it was
my place A casual observer.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Fine, another redition he could find it. He was going
to but after I mean, it was so significant. You
must have spent twenty minutes trying to find out what.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Was going on, then whip out your scanner and see,
well I don't have I don't have my scanner anymore.
And that's the whole thing about everything is it's on
what they call trunk trackers today and they're expensive, and
your old scanners get out of date. And as much
as I loved what my parents did and back in
the day monitoring for traffic, I just don't want to
spend the money on a scanner now, you know what
(07:42):
I mean?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And today I don't want that sound in my hand.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And you can there are some apps. There are people
that will do that, and you can stream it, but
not every frequency is available that you would normally listen to.
So there are apps I could listen to, you know,
some law enforcement in the city, but not all the
key ones. And you know, I even check that no
fire department wasn't on that either, So yeah, it was
time to just like give it up. You know.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Well, it's just funny to me because I'm not wired
that way. And you could only know that about Murphy
if you have lived with him and traveled with him
and vacationed with him, you know, And then we're very
we're wired very differently. Now, if I can know if
it's if it's easy while I'm passing by, oh that's
obviously someone something medical, or oh the back of that
house is on fire, not great, but I'm still going
(08:29):
to get on with my life.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I hope nobody died.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh yeah, right, and which which I did yesterday. I
think that's if I'd have seen smoke, I would have
had my answer, because I didn't. I honestly did not
want to be the nosy guy going this could be
a really nasty situation. I don't need to be going
and asking about that. Yeah, you know. Plus I figured
if it was that nasty, i'd seat on the.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Newsholver sam amification on my liphone.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Now I know what's going on?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Are you that person?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
To a point, I mean, if it's near me, like
I've gone outside before and since closer it is coming
from somewhere and it's like that's black smoke and that's.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
A lot of it.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Closer it is to you, you want to know.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So you know, I'll hop on Twitter or excuse me x,
Facebook or whatever to see if anybody's posting anything.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And follow it.
Speaker 4 (09:18):

for my own. I don't need anybody Else's.
