Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Sam and Joni after the show podcast, super.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Excited that the weekend is all most here because Murphy
and I are going out of town to get away
from each other, no joking. I know with some friends
of ours another couple, and you realize how special that is, Murphy,
how kind of rare you know couples? They say that,
(00:25):
and I know it's true. I believe it's true that
for the most part, women drive the social aspect of
a couple. Oftentimes women are the ones who say, let's
go have you know, drinks with my friend and her husband.
And husband's like, okay, yeah, you're right, let's do it.
And you hope when that happens, it's four people coming together.
You hope that it works. If two of them don't jive,
(00:48):
it doesn't work always. And so these are our friends
Mark and Audra. Now you've known Mark forever and he's
a very good friend of yours. And I know him also,
I've knew him before his new wife. Her name is Audra,
and I will never forget it was a few years back.
They've only been married, I don't know, three or four
years now. Okay, So and you said, hey, Mark, and
(01:11):
Audra invited us to come hang out and visit, and
and we were going to be staying with them for
like two nights, and I had never even met her,
and I thought, Okay, I hope she likes me, because
otherwise too, you know, two nights in their house with them.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Love him.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
He's so much fun. And you even told me that
you were I don't know if you remember having this
conversation where if you were like, if you know he
married her, you're gonna like her. Yeah, And I thought, oh,
you're right, it's gonna go fine. But there there are
those instances. There have been couples that can't.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You try.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
You go to a dinner or something, and it just
doesn't especially to me if the men don't get along,
because if the men don't get along, they're just sitting
there cells.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And when you say don't get along, you don't mean
like adversarial, you mean just don't connect. That's what you mean.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Chemistry and vibe and people that you can be comfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I think I mean, and that just depends on you know,
if you're socially going out with a couple where everybody
really doesn't know each other all that well. I mean
you don't know, I guess until you're in that situation, correct.
You know. The thing. The thing about that first time
that we went up and stayed with them, and it
was the first time that we met Audra, is that
I mean, Mark is just a very laid back, easy,
(02:25):
what you see is what you get kind of person.
And so I knew that hanging out there for the
weekend was not going to be, you know, an awkward,
weird situation. And I mean it's literally as soon as
we arrived that day, it was as though you and
Audre had known each other forever. It just it took
off like a rocket.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So do you know that this coming weekend, like we're
leaving tomorrow after the show, This coming weekend was me
and audra our idea we were going to get together
and do it like a shopping No, it was like
I think we had talked about doing like a shopping weekend,
and Mark's like, all right, we'll just come too, or
(03:03):
you know, and we're driving. We're going to meet them
halfway somewhere and spend and it's gonna be so much fun.
But I just think it's a funny dynamic that not
all couples have not all couples have another couple that
it works well and it drives as much. Yes, as adults.
You can sit there with anybody for a dinner and
you know, get along and talk and but we look
(03:25):
forward to being with them.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, you really don't know until you actually, you know,
make the connection and hang out a few times. It's
because it's usually one spouse with the other that's bringing
the friendship into the relationship, the couplehood exactly right. Yeah,
And I guess the opposite of that is when somebody
gets divorced, you know what I mean, it's the friend
and that gets kind of weird sometimes, you know, But yeah,
(03:47):
it's so, I mean I can see that it's you know,
it depends on the two who don't know each other
that well and how they gel coming together. But you
don't know that until the first meeting.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Have you ever had a couple that you've hung out
with or you know, you try to hang out. You
tried to do it, and it's just like, nah, this
is not going to work. I did in the past,
like a nice way to get out of it.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I did in a past relationship and it did not work.
And the girl were friendly and we had so much
to talk about, and we and the guys had nothing
to say to each other, and they literally didn't say
anything to each other. And it was wow, Yeah, yeah
that was before you, Murphy. You always would have something
to say.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
But like when that happened, was it like.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
We never tried again, We never did a force spoken
and it was over with. Well, I think me and
the girlfriend talked about it. It's like, yeah, they they're
not going to be friends. They were nice to each other,
they just did They weren't social, they did not jive.
They were nothing alike, so they couldn't find a common ground.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
You and I have had a lot of different experiences
with that, Jody, because we also a couple of summers ago.
You know, we met a couple. We just happened to
be sitting next to you and struck up a conversation
with total strangers we'd never met before.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
But we dived.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
We dived immediately, and so we all decided we would
have dinner again together the next night and it was
a blast. Really. Now, It's what's weird is we've not
talked to them since, but they were fun to hang
out with.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I do have a relationship with them. With the with
the wife with the lady on social do you okay?
And but yeah, we don't live in the same city. Yeah,
we're not going to see each other. It's not like
we're trying not to hang out. If they were here,
we would probably going to be going to dinner with them.
But it was fun. We had a little, yeah, a
little vacation couple friendship that was But I just feel
like it's a special thing. Friendship already is special.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
One to one.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Two people who are friends is so special because you
choose your friends and you choose to be in those relationships.
It's not not it's not family. You know, you have
to make time for it. And for me to be
looking forward to this weekend is exciting because it's double.
You get that benefit and I get that benefit too,
(05:59):
the four of your there to.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Go all go out shopping or you, you and Audrey
will go out and Murphy.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And remark, we haven't done a shopping weekend. And I'm
calling it that. Murphy's not thinking of it that way.
I don't think. So this is different. We're normally at
our house with them and going to a football game
or something, or we're at their house on the lake,
you know, enjoying that and eating and drinking and all
that and just having laughs. So this is the first
time we've met in a different location that's not our
(06:27):
house or theirs. Yeah, so I feel like Audre and
I will will slip off and shop, and you guys
will do whatever you guys want to do.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
You don't think we'll be hanging for shopping, huh.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I mean, I kind of hope not.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I don't really.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Isn't there a BUCkies about fifteen minutes away?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
You know, you guys do whatever you do. You guys
enjoy each other a lot, and there's a lot to
talk about. I know that, and the same is true
for me in Audrey, you know. But then we also
will have a good time, the four of us. We're
going to dinner. I'm just super excited about it, you know.
And you need to look forward to in life, otherwise
you're a hamster on a wheel, you know. I love
my weekends at home. I love sleeping a little bit
(07:06):
late and having coffee in the quiet, you know, at
home on the weekends and all of that. But getting
away for the weekend is also it's it's a happy maker.
It's essential. I think sometimes.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, you know, I think that the what's the real
blessing is unconditional friendship because it's it's like judgment free zone.
You I mean, when you can be here, you're going
to be especially when you're sharing the same living space
together for a couple of days, you know, I mean,
that's we're doing an airbnb. Those those kinds of relationships
are really, I mean, to me, the most the most
(07:40):
important ones because they just happen naturally.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And I would not necessarily be comfortable doing that sort
of an airbnb weekend thing with another not all couples
that I know, I wouldn't, but I'm very comfortable were
those couples.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I wish couple is getting the sofa bad.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We both have their bedrooms. We promise you no sofa bad.
