Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Murphy saman Chody. Happy holidays, and while we
are out, we've picked up some of our favorite podcast
moments from this past year to share with you and
wish you all the best for the holiday season. Here
are some of our favorite moments from previous podcasts.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
In yesterday's After the Show podcast, Murphy reminded me of
something I had forgotten that twenty three years ago, when
our first daughter was born, you brought a microphone into
the whatever recorder into the delivery room and recorded little
bits of us meeting her. The brand new baby sounds with.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Doctor approval, by the way, to.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
See you that you didn't sneak it out, but anyway,
I had forgotten not only that we have that, but
that you shared I was on maternity leave, but you
shared it on the show. Yes, so a lot of
people do that have been listening to us for a
long time. Remember when Taylor was born, which is why
people tell me that I was listening to day Taylor
was born.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, you didn't realize that. You didn't know that I forgot.
I mean, you were a little under come out of
me right.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
My life changed in that in that instant, and you.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Weren't listening on me and Murphy were carrying the load
for a few weeks.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Oh, were you carrying a real load in your body?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Were you anyway? You bring it back up because thinking
about that, and you said that some people had a
problem with it. You had a few complaints like why
would you share that?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
That's too intimate? Right, you had a people were uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Twenty three years ago. I mean it's I don't know
that that had been done much. It's not that there
was nothing wrong with what we were doing, but in
older generations, I think sometimes see things differently.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Well, I will now that you said that, and I'm
thinking about it. I don't know if it's generational, but
I do know I have some friends and I remember
my friend Jerry Anne's mom when we were teenagers.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I was at her house.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
We were watching a movie and in the movie, a woman
starts having a baby in the labor and delivery room,
and you know how it's portrayed on in the movies
with all the pushing in this wedding, which is not
so unreal. But Jerryanne's mother, Miss Carroll, could not watch
that and started grabbing her body and.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Leaning over like I gotta get out of this room.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
She couldn't watch it. It was like she was reliving it.
So for someone listening to that, maybe it is a
little bit too close to an experience.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, that's true, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So you know, for anybody that heard that all those
years ago, we didn't mean to bring back something.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
It was difficulty, too intimate.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Hope you're enjoying your holidays.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Three things to note today will return when we get
back from vacation after the new year.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
If you've ever had that situation where you can't seem
to unsubscribe for something, hope you know, Hope you know
about the story that's circulating. It's been it's been coming
for months from the government. We mentioned it in Three
Things to Know. I think yesterday about it. It's in
effect now. It's an initiative called Time is Money. That's
(03:09):
what they're calling it.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Come on, tim oh, rolling out.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
New regulations to all kinds of industries. Uh. If it
takes you only two clicks to subscribe to something, then
the on the backside, they're going to regulate that it
only it can only take you two clicks to unsubscribe.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I love that idea and.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It's just that seems like the most simple thing I've
ever heard to come out of Washing Well.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Do you remember a couple of years ago, I was
trying to unsubscribe to the Wall Street Journal. Actually, and
it's a great publication. So this is not I'm not
bad mouthing them, but here's what happened. It was it
was probably one click to subscribe, and it was like
six months for free, and you get the digital version.
I'm like, yeah, I just I'll get both the paper
and the digital version. I probably should have just gone digital. Yeah,
but there was nowhere on the website to unsubscribe. And
(03:59):
when you got on the phone to unsubscribe, they said, well, look,
how about we give you another chance. We'll give you
another six months free.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
And of course I'm like.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Fine, okay, I'll.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Hate that when you are your mind has changed against
what you had originally gone in for, yeah, kills.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Me and uh And eventually, I mean I did. I
had to call back and cancel though, but there was
a whole lot of phone conversation, putting me on hold
for a minute.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
I mean it was they didn't just have an unsubscribed button.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
No, you actually had to call and wasn't.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
That the one where we couldn't they wouldn't stop dropping
the paper in our drive.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
We stopped paying for it, and they known that for months.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It was delivered for almost a year, Like, okay, there's
another copy of the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I think for sure they need to make mandate that
at least you have the unsubscribed button on stuff, because
most of the things I've unsubscribed for it. You know,
they have it at the bottom. You click it, they
may ask you a question like why are you leaving? Yes,
subscribe and it says this may take twenty four hours,
but you won't get any more. And most of them work,
but there are things that go on to get rid of,
and it's like there is no one that's hard for you.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
When you get an email, that's a mandate that there's
an unsubscribed at the bottom of those so should have that.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
This is subscriptions anything across all industries. They say, it's
going to be healthcare, fitness memberships, any media su you subscriptions.
So it's all coming. We'll we'll keep an eye on
it for you too. It'll be easy. Wouldn't you like
to be happier? I mean, there are times in your
life where it's very difficult, but there are some basics
(05:34):
and this is so cool.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
This comes from professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School
who has studied happiness forever.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And there's a very happy person.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
You wonder the people that put these out or it's
like this guy the happiest person in the world.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
With the information given, now you're going. You're going to
sometimes be going towards happiness and sometimes going away from it.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
It's not a place that.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
You you ever, right, you can't stay there pri right,
you never just reach.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
That and that's where you all you know all the
facts and you can stay there because life you can't
just stay there. But hopefully so he this is what
he knows from all these years of studying, and it's
actually doable. Number one, don't neglect the basics. Exercise regularly,
eat good food, you know, sleep, get a reasonable amount
of sleep, and don't abuse alcohol or drugs. He's like, basics,
(06:25):
take care of yourself and you're more likely to be happy.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
So check that's good.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
The other one, and he says, this is actually the
biggest one he's seen. If you only can do one
of these is to stay actively connected with other human beings.
Have a social life. It doesn't mean you have to
be in the club with six hundred people. It means
two or three relationships, yeah, free.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Ones though, right, not social needs.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yes, Yes, people that you look into their eyes.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And you speak to them as much as often, whether that.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Could be a family member or a best friend or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Right, think about how many times in your life where
you've shut people out, and we all need to do
that at times, and you go, you go more inward,
and that's not good, you know, having somebody to bounce
things off of, talk to. Everybody needs connection and he
finds that in his years of study. You know you
it's stress relief, all of that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And that's why you see so many different activities. For example,
a's senior living centers. You know where people are. They
need that and they may not have that if they
were still living at home.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
That's so true.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
And the third one being go ahead and just strengthen
your existing relationships. So if you know, you know you
want to try to have a social life and be connected,
it doesn't mean you have to go meet new people.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
It means strengthen the relationship.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It means a positive attitude, It means not saying I
got to go back home to Jodie again.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
No, I'll stay here at work.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It made strengthen existing relationships all me. I reached out
to your mom about her dog, pork Chop, that she
had to put down and that she.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Buried in the front yard.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I told you I was going to reach out to her,
and I thought about calling her, and then I thought
she wouldn't I don't know, she wouldn't know my number.
So I reached out to her and Facebook messenger, which
is where I see her most often.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
She sends me stuff all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So I said, hey, mis Judy, I'm so sorry about
your sweet pork Chop. You know, I'm so sorry for
your loss. I know you loved him. I asked how
old he was. She responded that he was twenty five.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, twenty five, And I said, is that true, Sam,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
She gave me the breakdown on it, and I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
That's an old dog.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
She got pork Chop after my dad passed away and
he was already nine.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Then, okay, so you think that could bear So that's
twenty five, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Maybe being overweight wasn't a big deal at twenty five man.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Either way, I just want you to know she did
respond back back to me. I will not you know,
share that here, but she did admit to having a
hard time letting him go, especially for some reason.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I've never heard her talk about an animal like she
has pork chop because she's put other animals to sleep,
or other animals have passed away, and it's just like, yeah,
that's thife, but pork Chop is just stuck with it.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It means that she had a special connection to him.
He was a friend to her in a way that
other animals. That we all have a favorite animal. It's
okay to have a favorite pet. It's not okay to
have a favorite child, but it's okay to have a
favorite pet.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You know, my amateur psychological opinion totally, because she got
him shortly after my dad passed away.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Correct, correct, it was her companion.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
It became an attachment that she needed because you need connection.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm you know, a little concerned though, because if he's
going to be buried in the front yard or the
neighbors prepared, do they know what's going on when they
see your brother out there with a shovel and putting
things in the ground. You know, we just saying, I.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Guess as long as they see my mom is still
out there.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Yeah, where's miss Judy there, Brett, he's inside.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Why I want to move on to something beautiful and
the comments that are rolling in from Instagram and Facebook.
We posted about it to you cremate or bury your pets,
Robin says, cremate, but I saved a few ashes and
put in a charm that fits on a chain on
a Pandora bracelet.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Okay, whoa?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So walking your baby around with you for the rest
of your life. There's no wrong way to do it.
We just kind of wanted to hear from you about
the beautiful ways that you've done this.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
And we still have Chevy and we have Ashley right.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
As their ashes, Yes, you don't still have.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Them, lady, I'll need a whole son.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
No, but more of your comments on the way.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Next trending now, Jody's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Brought to you by Dairy Queen.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
You guys remember who actress Sadie Sink is, don't you? You?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Stranger the Redhead Max?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I remember that that season when she was brand new
and who knew she would become so important. Well, I
think she was a little bit overshadowed for me by
her brother Billy.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
However, Billy, Hi.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Billy, can't forget you ever. I forgot anyway, Sadie sink.
She has turned into such a fantastic actress as she is,
and I feel like she's just so important to that
gang of kids.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Well she is.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I mean, she was the one that's brought a really
cool attitude too. I just thought that was really great
when she was introduced.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So I don't want to give away plot points or
anything like that, and none of the cast is able
to do that as they are currently working on filming
the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, but we
do know she is going to be a big part
of it. There were some question She's definitely going to
be a big part of it. She did say they
love having me run. I'm running a lot in this season.
That's all I can say.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
The other thing is it was her character that brought
back one of the big songs that came back thanks
to Stranger Things, and that was Kate Bush. Yeah, and
her Walkman, I'm thinking now that you know you have
the power with a TV show to bring back a
song that never got its due in the in the heyday.
I bet they do that again with some eighties treasure.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, because that's what they do. It'd be cool to
see what song that's.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Going to be later this year Stranger Things season.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Five direct message us on Facebook.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Instagram as well YouTube, and you can email us at
Murphysamonjody dot com. Let's get into some of the comments
about Sam's mom's dog, pork Chop, who she has had
to She had to the doction have him sep to sleep.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I guess this is the way.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Somehow live to be twenty five years old. Okay, that's
like a magic feat for a doction, right, I mean,
I don't know, it's.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
A magic number.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And Sam perhaps thinks that she was wrong about his age,
and that's possible, but.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
We are that.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
We're getting into the comments now. About to tap.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Rebecca says this.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
They get the straight this Docs lived to be forty five.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Yeah, the Docs's actually older than me.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Rebecca says this.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I worked with animals and saw so many people struggling
with the loss of their beloved family member, fir member.
It really comes down to what best gives you closure.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I agree with that. Thank you for saying that.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Also does your pet pass when the ground is frozen
in the middle of winter.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
That the size of the pet.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Is, you know, something to consider if you're talking about
burying in the front yard. Unpleasant things to have to
think about when you're already feeling so sad.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yeah, well, she would have buried pork chop in the backyard,
but she's got a lot of ruts and stuff, she said, so, okay,
it'd be easier in the front yard.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Has she Have they already buried pork.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Chopper been in the ground since this weekend?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Okay, I didn't know. Okay, thank you Sam.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
For nically put super sensitive comment.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Robina says, we've buried ours, but we have the land
to do it on.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah. To me, that's just tough.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I mean it's tough physically and and I'm worried I'm
gonna do something wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I guess there's no wrong to do it.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
But you know, the cremation too, it is a personal thing.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
It is one of the cats that we lost years ago.
I buried in the backyard, So I mean I've done
it before.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I know.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Top Fan Shawn says, I have a pet cemetery in
my backyard. Very sad when they go sad. Just watch
those Sean, because you know what happens in the movies. Yeah,
as cats come back.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Okay say that for children who are listening, this doesn't happen.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Good Crystal, just like me, She says, I've done both cremation,
felt like I could carry them with me. But then
if you have trust issues, you can also wonder if
the remains are truly your beloved are a mix of many.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Conspiracy theories.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Keep it coming. We love hearing from you.

and this is so cool.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
This comes from professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School
who has studied happiness forever.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And there's a very happy person.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
You wonder the people that put these out or it's
like this guy the happiest person in the world.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
With the information given, now you're going. You're going to
sometimes be going towards happiness and sometimes going away from it.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
It's not a place that.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
You you ever, right, you can't stay there pri right,
you never just reach.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
That and that's where you all you know all the
facts and you can stay there because life you can't
just stay there. But hopefully so he this is what
he knows from all these years of studying, and it's
actually doable. Number one, don't neglect the basics. Exercise regularly,
eat good food, you know, sleep, get a reasonable amount
of sleep, and don't abuse alcohol or drugs. He's like, basics,
(06:25):
take care of yourself and you're more likely to be happy.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
So check that's good.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
The other one, and he says, this is actually the
biggest one he's seen. If you only can do one
of these is to stay actively connected with other human beings.
Have a social life. It doesn't mean you have to
be in the club with six hundred people. It means
two or three relationships, yeah, free.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Ones though, right, not social needs.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yes, Yes, people that you look into their eyes.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And you speak to them as much as often, whether that.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Could be a family member or a best friend or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Right, think about how many times in your life where
you've shut people out, and we all need to do
that at times, and you go, you go more inward,
and that's not good, you know, having somebody to bounce
things off of, talk to. Everybody needs connection and he
finds that in his years of study. You know you
it's stress relief, all of that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And that's why you see so many different activities. For example,
a's senior living centers. You know where people are. They
need that and they may not have that if they
were still living at home.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
That's so true.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
And the third one being go ahead and just strengthen
your existing relationships. So if you know, you know you
want to try to have a social life and be connected,
it doesn't mean you have to go meet new people.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
It means strengthen the relationship.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It means a positive attitude, It means not saying I
got to go back home to Jodie again.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
No, I'll stay here at work.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It made strengthen existing relationships all me. I reached out
to your mom about her dog, pork Chop, that she
had to put down and that she.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Buried in the front yard.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I told you I was going to reach out to her,
and I thought about calling her, and then I thought
she wouldn't I don't know, she wouldn't know my number.
So I reached out to her and Facebook messenger, which
is where I see her most often.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
She sends me stuff all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So I said, hey, mis Judy, I'm so sorry about
your sweet pork Chop. You know, I'm so sorry for
your loss. I know you loved him. I asked how
old he was. She responded that he was twenty five.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, twenty five, And I said, is that true, Sam,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
She gave me the breakdown on it, and I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
That's an old dog.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
She got pork Chop after my dad passed away and
he was already nine.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Then, okay, so you think that could bear So that's
twenty five, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Maybe being overweight wasn't a big deal at twenty five man.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Either way, I just want you to know she did
respond back back to me. I will not you know,
share that here, but she did admit to having a
hard time letting him go, especially for some reason.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I've never heard her talk about an animal like she
has pork chop because she's put other animals to sleep,
or other animals have passed away, and it's just like, yeah,
that's thife, but pork Chop is just stuck with it.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It means that she had a special connection to him.
He was a friend to her in a way that
other animals. That we all have a favorite animal. It's
okay to have a favorite pet. It's not okay to
have a favorite child, but it's okay to have a
favorite pet.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
You know, my amateur psychological opinion totally, because she got
him shortly after my dad passed away.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Correct, correct, it was her companion.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
It became an attachment that she needed because you need connection.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm you know, a little concerned though, because if he's
going to be buried in the front yard or the
neighbors prepared, do they know what's going on when they
see your brother out there with a shovel and putting
things in the ground. You know, we just saying, I.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Guess as long as they see my mom is still
out there.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Yeah, where's miss Judy there, Brett, he's inside.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Why I want to move on to something beautiful and
the comments that are rolling in from Instagram and Facebook.
We posted about it to you cremate or bury your pets,
Robin says, cremate, but I saved a few ashes and
put in a charm that fits on a chain on
a Pandora bracelet.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Okay, whoa?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So walking your baby around with you for the rest
of your life. There's no wrong way to do it.
We just kind of wanted to hear from you about
the beautiful ways that you've done this.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
And we still have Chevy and we have Ashley right.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
As their ashes, Yes, you don't still have.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Them, lady, I'll need a whole son.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
No, but more of your comments on the way.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Next trending now, Jody's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Brought to you by Dairy Queen.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
You guys remember who actress Sadie Sink is, don't you? You?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Stranger the Redhead Max?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I remember that that season when she was brand new
and who knew she would become so important. Well, I
think she was a little bit overshadowed for me by
her brother Billy.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
However, Billy, Hi.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Billy, can't forget you ever. I forgot anyway, Sadie sink.
She has turned into such a fantastic actress as she is,
and I feel like she's just so important to that
gang of kids.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Well she is.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I mean, she was the one that's brought a really
cool attitude too. I just thought that was really great
when she was introduced.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So I don't want to give away plot points or
anything like that, and none of the cast is able
to do that as they are currently working on filming
the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, but we
do know she is going to be a big part
of it. There were some question She's definitely going to
be a big part of it. She did say they
love having me run. I'm running a lot in this season.
That's all I can say.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
The other thing is it was her character that brought
back one of the big songs that came back thanks
to Stranger Things, and that was Kate Bush. Yeah, and
her Walkman, I'm thinking now that you know you have
the power with a TV show to bring back a
song that never got its due in the in the heyday.
I bet they do that again with some eighties treasure.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, because that's what they do. It'd be cool to
see what song that's.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Going to be later this year Stranger Things season.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Five direct message us on Facebook.
Speaker 2 (12:28):

about Sam's mom's dog, pork Chop, who she has had
to She had to the doction have him sep to sleep.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I guess this is the way.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Somehow live to be twenty five years old. Okay, that's
like a magic feat for a doction, right, I mean,
I don't know, it's.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
A magic number.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And Sam perhaps thinks that she was wrong about his age,
and that's possible, but.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
We are that.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
We're getting into the comments now. About to tap.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Rebecca says this.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
They get the straight this Docs lived to be forty five.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Yeah, the Docs's actually older than me.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Rebecca says this.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I worked with animals and saw so many people struggling
with the loss of their beloved family member, fir member.
It really comes down to what best gives you closure.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I agree with that. Thank you for saying that.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Also does your pet pass when the ground is frozen
in the middle of winter.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
That the size of the pet.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Is, you know, something to consider if you're talking about
burying in the front yard. Unpleasant things to have to
think about when you're already feeling so sad.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yeah, well, she would have buried pork chop in the backyard,
but she's got a lot of ruts and stuff, she said, so, okay,
it'd be easier in the front yard.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Has she Have they already buried pork.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Chopper been in the ground since this weekend?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Okay, I didn't know. Okay, thank you Sam.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
For nically put super sensitive comment.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Robina says, we've buried ours, but we have the land
to do it on.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah. To me, that's just tough.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I mean it's tough physically and and I'm worried I'm
gonna do something wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I guess there's no wrong to do it.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
But you know, the cremation too, it is a personal thing.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
It is one of the cats that we lost years ago.
I buried in the backyard, So I mean I've done
it before.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I know.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Top Fan Shawn says, I have a pet cemetery in
my backyard. Very sad when they go sad. Just watch
those Sean, because you know what happens in the movies. Yeah,
as cats come back.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Okay say that for children who are listening, this doesn't happen.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Good Crystal, just like me, She says, I've done both cremation,
felt like I could carry them with me. But then
if you have trust issues, you can also wonder if
the remains are truly your beloved are a mix of many.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Conspiracy theories.
