Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody after the Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
In less than a week, our youngest Murph will be
graduated from high school. Phoebe is graduating next Monday night.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around that. You
know that.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And Sam, your youngest twins, Maddie graduates.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Harder graduates Saturday. Maddie graduates Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Two different schools. That's why, right, Yeah, no, same school.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's a lot of kids in the class. Three days.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Anyway, Look, the whole Phoebe thing with the graduation, it's
so interesting because hmm, we know that there are no
noise makers allowed. Well I'm sorry, there are some. There's
no air horns allowed, and.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I'll artificial noisemakers. I mean, I guess you can make
your own noise, but you can't press a button have
something to make noise.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It's weird because for Taylor, our oldest, we didn't have
a normal graduation. We had a graduation ceremony, but it
was in twenty twenty, so it was.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Distance distance COVID style graduation.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
It's so hot too.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It was out on the football field and they were,
you know, our little seats together like three seats. Taylor
in the middle, and we were on each side of her,
and then there was I don't know how much space
between each family.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
We were very lucky that day because there was cloud cover.
We really got lucky. It was. It wasn't as uncomfortable
as it could be. And because of the COVID protocol
they were using, once you got your diploma, you had
to go up and the whole family exits and then
goes out outside of the gates, and so you know,
we're halfway through, and so there are fewer people to
(01:37):
clap and applaud when that happens. I felt sorry for
whoever's name ended in Z.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I know, it's just their family, all right, Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
At least they got a graduation ceremony. Shout out to
that high school for doing it like that. Taylor got
to go up on stage, get her diploma from the administration,
from the principal, and leave with it and do the tassel.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I mean it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It was at least that because she had friends that
went to other high schools who did the drive by thing.
Drive up, you know, drive up, get your diploma and leave.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, I really I did love that they did that,
so we've never I think the school worked very hard
to try to make that happen.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
But yeah, drive up ones. Did they put those kids
in alphabetical order? That just seems like a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
And the pot you're not kidding, It would have to
be if they would be looking for diplomas.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Of course it.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Maybe everybody got a car tag with the number. That's
a really good.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Question, like a parade.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
See the organization of that event jumps into your mind.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That's a better plan than I want to graduate first.
We got to get there early so it can be
number one.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Phoebe's graduation is different for us, Murphy because we have
to leave town the very next day, the very next
morning early. So it's also different because we've never done
it this way. We've never done the normal high school
graduation in a big.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Arena, well not for our own children.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Well yeah, we've been there, spectators, but this is different.
Do you know that I've messed up and messed around
and waited. I wanted to get the big picture of
Phoebe on a stick, and now I'm a little late
getting that.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
So I'm going to have to make that happen this weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yep I Wyatt Oh, I thought you found the perfect
place that would do it in two seconds for us.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
And they don't ship in two seconds.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I thought it could be done on site. I thought
you found a local place that was going to do
it for you.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I got there and they were like, no, ma'am, I
don't know where you got that information.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I got to print out a big thing and put
it on phone board.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I know what to do, But how big can you print?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Though?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I mean, we've got it home and half by eleven.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's I'm not asking you to print it. I'm asking
an establishment to print it.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh you found somebody who can print something in that big.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I mean, that's my afternoon.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
It starts with a K and ends with the inkos.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It doesn't, but that's cute anyway. I just there's another
there's another thing at play here. After Taylor's graduation in
twenty twenty, we all did go to dinner.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, family, My mom came.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Your dad was there, my late dad, and we had
this beautiful dinner together. And we won't be doing that
because her graduation is going to run a little late
and we're going to go home and load the car.
And I ran that by her. I'm like, do you
want to do you want to go to dinner? Because
it would be a late Phoebe's graduation ends around eight
thirty or nine pm. That's late for a dinner anyway,
(04:32):
and we have to get up early the next morning
and leave town.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Sure you do a pregraduation dinner.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Eh? No, okay, you know I doesn't want to do
that Saturday.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
She doesn't want to. That would be a good idea
to do it a couple of days in advance, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So we talked about that, you know, last night, she
and I visited about it, and she when I was
leaving her room, I'm like, you're you're you're okay with
when you know, once the graduation is over, we're going
home and going to bed so that we can leave
early the next day for this you know trip, this
awards thing.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
She's like yes, She's like, this doesn't mean much to me.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Like, what this is your high school graduation.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
It's a huge deal in your life.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
She just means the ceremony of its traditions.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Maddie's is at four, so it's good it should be
you know, you figure two hours six o'clock. But her
mom texted me, hey, you know you're going to dinner
after huh. And it's like, I'm not. I can't say no, right,
I mean, if it was ten o'clock at night, yeah,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But you know, you know, so anybody that we've that
I've told friends or other the story too, that the
just a coincidence of what we're doing, the fact that
we're having to travel immediately the next day. I do
love that. It was never a question. And when Jodie
actually found out about the nomination before she won the award,
that the ceremony was going to be the day after
(05:46):
Phoebe's graduation, it was always going to be. You know what,
if I appreciate the nomination, if I don't win, that's
fine because we're not going to miss Phoebe's graduation, right regardless.
And the same thing for you and you know, Maddie,
So you know we'll be.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Missing it, right and I'd be late for the right graduation.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Right and we will and so you know, it's it's
interesting to me this is a perfect example of as
a as a parent and the way you prioritize things
in your life. There could be this is one of
the biggest professional accolades that Jody could possibly receive.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
It's the biggest it is to receive.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
But the priority obviously is and the three of us
are traveling together. It's Phoebe and it's Maddie, and it's
you know, they've spent a lifetime getting to this point
where they're going to be graduating. It's the last thing
that we're going to miss. And if that means, you know,
being late or whatever, and I don't want to. I
would rather everything works smoothly for you on that end
when we travel, Jody.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
But we'll see.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
But yeah, you know, this is one of those. There
were times over the years, and I know you felt
this way too, Jody, where like if there were a
play or something like that you couldn't make because we
were traveling.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Hard.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
In the back of your head, you're just like you
feel bad about that, you know what I mean. It's
weird how you kind of don't even really forgive yourself
for some of those.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It's always it's a working mother's and a working parents
problem and issue because you will have decisions to make,
you will have things that come up, and one of
them that sticks out and stands out to me. I
was asked to speak at a funeral. You guys remember this.
Our dear friend mary Anne passed away. Oh, yes, young
(07:25):
Her parents asked me to speak at her service, and
I so wanted to say yes. I so wanted to
do that, and I still have regrets in my heart
about saying I couldn't be there. But Taylor was in
a play at school that day. The memorial service was
in the daytime, like one o'clock in the afternoon. I
(07:49):
was not there because I was at the school and
it was a small it was not a main stage.
It was a drama class play. But Taylor was so
excited about it, had been talking about it for weeks.
And I had to, you know, speak to that mother
who was saying goodbye to her child, and I had
(08:11):
to say, I am so honored that you would ask
me to do this. I really am honored. But I
have to be there from my child. And I think she,
I know she understood.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I went to the service. I don't remember if I
attempted to do both though. Did I try to do
both the school?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I went to the school, you went to the service.
I wanted one of us to be at the service,
so anyway, yeah, we're not going to miss Phoebe's graduation.
We are gonna She even said, as soon as my
name's called, you can leave.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
No, I'm not going to do that either. I'm going
to see you after.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I want to hug you, after you have that diploma
in your hands, and then we'll leave.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But she does have a pretty big senior class, you
know her.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It says the approximate length is six pm till eight thirty.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
It's a big.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Long it's over four hundred students.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Man, it's not a short graduation ceremony.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
So that's okay. That's what's going on next week.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Nothing big huh missed any part of the show.
