Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Murphy Salmon, Jody after the show podcast, hanging
out a little bit longer, getting a visit with you
a little bit longer. We like that.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We're going to start the podcast today with the question, Now,
this is for everybody, not just you, Murphy and Jody,
but I know it affects y'all. How you feel when
your kids or a family member, a close family member
mimics your humor.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Or your How do you feel You're saying.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Do you look at that as like, like if your kids,
because I know you have talked before in the past
Murphy and Jody about tailor and fee to your daughters
kind of picking up Murphy's humor, and now they hit
him back with it or some of the things they
say are murphyisms, Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You mean picking on me for those things? Or are
they're actually doing the thing their humor they're becoming like you,
Oh it's funny. Yeah, I think it's hysterical. I mean,
I get it. There are things that they're sarcasm and
things that they say really are a blend of both
me and Jody, and they are self deprecating too, which
is really interesting to me because I think that that
is one and it's a very difficult one. Right in
(01:01):
life too, is becoming self deprecating, having enough of a
sense of humor about yourself to.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Not let things laugh at yourself, yes exactly, you know,
instead of being hard on yourself exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And so so I've seen that. Yeah, what you mean.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, it's and it's happened to me. And when it
has happened, it makes me stop and think, Okay, so
I have had an influence on everything.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What did you think you didn't?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't know. There were times when the kids look
at me like, okay, he's just being a smart like whatever, dad, Okay,
but I think they picked up on it. The reason
I bring this up is I sent out the big
text invite to everybody in the family for my chicken
finger Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Oh yeah, right, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And I included stuff like we'll have the same meal
the Pilgrim's had in seventeen seventy six when they landed
its stone hinge. You know, funny all around, and it's
going to be at lunchtime and you know, if you
have any special things you want the management to make.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Let us know at a time.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
All cute.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
So I get back from my knee. That's great. What
time will it start? Yeah, which I've answered, and you know,
it's like, okay, I knew this was going to happen.
You're the one that's going to do this, Melissa, my
daughter in lass is what time? Oh they've all picked
up on this now, okay, Sammy, what time though, Maddie?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
What are we eating?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yes, oh man, we're coming at you from every ankle.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
My threat was I'll turn this car around right now.
And I also sat in there. You know, it's for
all boyfriend's girlfriends, fiances, hangers on, whoever.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
It's a plus one?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Can I bring a plus one? And of course then
it goes really downhill because my mom chimes in, what's
a plus one?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So that was a whole conversation. Someone always misses the joke.
That's okay.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
We just touched on this in the show the other
day about the beauty of a family private joke. Never
predict what your family's private jokes will be, but they
are sacred, they are beautiful.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Of course you got in there, and even the times
when your kids have rolled their eyes at your humor, Sam,
it's still got in and it's you and if something
were to happen where you stopped doing that, that's when
they would take notice. Yeah, that's what it would be, like,
what's going on?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
You know? This isn't Dad.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I'm just glad as dad that it's like, Okay, good
I did have I'm going to whenever I leave this
planet at least leave them with a good sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, well that's good. I'm surprised that you wouldn't think that,
because that's you've always had the sense if you were
about things.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
My dad was the same way with the humor. And
there are times it's like, okay, geez it got right. Yeah,
it gets annoying. Well, I know you're gonna tell me, yes, Sam,
it can no to.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Them, it may or may not. You are you to you,
it's sometimes got annoying. You don't know what their perspective is.
They may love that, you know, it may be very endearing.
They may need it maybe the other I don't know
what their mom's you know what that dynamic is like.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's true because I've looked at looked at it that
way in the past before. I don't want to be
a complete goofball as a parent, but it's like I
look at the mothers and this is no slights or anything.
I just look at the mothers and it's like they're
completely different personality, more business than.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And that is stupid. Actually a more typical situation.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Women have to be more business when it comes to
the family and the running of the household and schedules
and Thanksgiving and all of that.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Dad's get to be dad. Humor about it is.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
With Murphy all the time, where you know, you're sitting
there like it's time for bad. It's time for bad,
and Murphy wants to play music and have.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
A party, right, and it's still that way. It's like, okay.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
For example, for instance, the other night, Taylor and Phoebe
were both available, and I had made dinner. I cooked
dinner and timed it all out. I started dinner, then
I went to yoga and I got back. Taylor helped
me with the bread and you know, helped me start
things as I took a shower. And then Murphy rolls
in and he had gone to work out as well,
and we all land at the table and I'm like, whew, okay,
(05:15):
so tell me about your day, and they start doing
it and it's wonderful. Family time, but he starts doing
what he does in their presence, Zinger here and Zinger there, and.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Aha, that's so funny. Oh, dinners so great. God's so funny.
It's just the way that it is.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
And I accept it because of a lot of things
as a mother that I get that you don't get,
you know, I mean, I'm not complaining, it's just the dynamic.
And honestly, lastly, I am grateful that that's the dynamic.
That's the kind of father I wanted them to have.
I also think it's not an overly serious that changes
(05:50):
the mood of a household.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, it's also I think good to have one of each. Yes,
you know, because if you were just like Murphy and
it was ally horns and whistles.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
They wouldn't have the structure. They would never gone to
bed at the same time, when do we go to
bed time?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And you know, and and and the roles have flipped
at times too, I mean, there are you know, there
are times where I've had to be serious about things,
have absolutely be serious about things, and and Jody has
a great sense of humor. So it just it works
it either way. But yeah, I don't I don't know
why it's excused. You know, I'm sure most families have
that same thing. They're just not a box.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
It doesn't it's not one size fits all sort of
a thing, but typically.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And it's not like there it was anything that I
actively tried to do. Sometimes it just happened when it
was bedtime, one of my favorite things to do, and
it's it works the first time, but then they wanted it,
you know, repeatedly for a while when they were younger.
I would turn the light off and then turn it
back on, and my facial expression was different. I turn
it back off again and turn it back on, different face,
(06:52):
and they love that. As kids, they wanted me to
do that, Dad, do that.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
And guess what a beautiful thing for me to see
is that that's the way a lot of times that
you acted when we were dating, before they were even alive,
before they were even here, you were using that on me,
and you were always said you were doing that to me,
and it was funny and I enjoyed it. And I
couldn't have predicted that you would be that kind of dad,
but I assumed that you would.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
You know, these balance.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Taylor and Phoebe do they are they different? As far
as that humor goes throwing it back at a little bit.
You know, I have five kids. Parker really usually doesn't
mess with the humor. You know, Parker's usually this you know,
I need this that it just you know, to the point. Yes,
Mattie's a little humorous. Sammy tries to be humorous. I
(07:40):
know he's going to hear this and.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Go, what do you try?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Will is kind of like closest to my humor. Oh,
you know, it's like all five kids have a different
take on my humor or a different way to give
it back to me.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Of course, because they're individuals. Taylor and Phoebe have their
own sense of humor. Yes, but I'm going to tell
you one of the coolest things that we've gotten to
see as parents is Taylor and Phoebe are very close.
And I'm so grateful for that. If I die today,
that is the blessing of my life. That my children
love each other the way that they do. They're best friends,
(08:16):
but when they are together, there's a whole special energy,
you know, special like everybody else gets ignored at.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
First, and they will they will tease each other and
you know, laugh and all of that It's that's fun too.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
When they get together and they start doing together and
they start on each other, it's like, this is just
like ten years ago and everybody lived here, fantastic and
everything's wonderful. Here's another quick example from Will. The text Okay,
this is a different text all together. He was asking
me if I had tried some recipe that his wife
had made. Yeah, and he's like, try it first, see
if you like it. I want to hear your thoughts.
(08:50):
My response was, I mean, like, you mean like esp
and mind reading and I get back, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Oh that's the eye roll perfect. That's the eye roll response.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
The vocal version of that from Taylor or Phoebe. And
they're different, but Taylor will always say that's stupid, and
she means it.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
She's laughing when she says it. You guys are totally
safe and totally loved.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
