Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody Weekend Replay podcast. Twelve
of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Enjoy. 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 doctor approval. By the way, just see you
(00:28):
didn't sneak at it, 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 the day Taylor was born.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
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 2 (00:54):
My life changed in that instant, and you.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Weren't listening on me and Murphy were carrying the load
for a few weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oh, were you carrying a real load in your body?
Were you? Anyway? You I 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 that's too intimate? Right, you
had a people were uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
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.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
We were doing.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But you know, older generations, I think sometimes see things differently.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
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. I
was at her house. We were watching a movie and
in the movie, a woman starts having a baby in
the in the labor and delivery room, and you know
(01:52):
how it's portrayed on in the movies with all the
pushing in this wedding, which is not so unreal. But
jerry An's mother, Miss Carroll, could not watch that and
started grabbing her body and leaning over like I gotta
get out of this room. She couldn't watch it. It
was like she was reliving it. So for someone listening
(02:13):
to that, maybe it is a little bit too close
to an experience.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, that's true, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
So you know, for anybody that heard that all those
years ago, we didn't mean to bring back something that's
it was difficulty, too intimate. 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. And this is
(02:40):
so cool, guys. This comes from professor of psychiatry at
Harvard Medical School who has studied happiness forever, and it's a.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Very happy person.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
The people that put these out, it's like this guy
the happiest person.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
The information given now you're going. You're going to sometimes
be going towards happiness and going sometimes going away from it.
It's not a place that you you ever.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Right, you can't stay there permanent, right, You never.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Just reach 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.
(03:29):
He's like, basics, take care of yourself and you're more
likely to be happy. So check.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
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.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, free ones though, right, not social media.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yes, yes, people that you look into their eyes and
you speak to them as much as often.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Whether it could be a family member or a best
friend or whatever.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
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.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
All of that, and that's why you see so many
different activities. For example, at senior living centers. You know
where people are. They need that court and they may
not have that if they were still living at home.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So true, And the third one being go ahead and
just strengthen your existing relationships. So if 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.
It means strengthen the relationship.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It means a positive attitude. It means not saying I
got to go back home to Jodie again.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No, I'll stay here at work.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Wait, it made straight existing relationships. Got's following me? Yesterday
I got a picture text to me of the cutest
three little dogs. And so our oldest daughter, Taylor works
at a doggie daycare now and she sent me this.
(05:16):
It's so cute, says say hi to Hershey, Oreo and Axel,
who I'm learning so much through Taylor working this new
job because she comes home and she's, you know, back
home for us for a little while. And so she's
telling first of all, when she walks in the door
having been there for six to eight hours, our dogs
go nuts because she smells like one hundred dogs. And
(05:38):
so Champ especially is all over Taylor right now. But
she sends me these pictures of these of all the dogs,
and she shares with me little videos of her favorite
you know, and his his name is Bach.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So I get Hershey, I get Oreo, but is actually
a redheaded dog, actual Rose what I think guns and roads?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
No, Axel is a bulldog. It looks like so Number one.
I love the learning all the names of the patches.
It gives you ideas. Yeah, but the other thing is
that she's learning so much and I wanted to pass
it along for all the dog lovers. You know, dogs
are it's always it's all about energy. It's not about size. Correct. Well,
(06:21):
if you have a small dog, you know that because
small dogs think they're big and big dogs think they're small.
But so, she was working the toy dog room again
the other day, which is exactly what it sounds like.
She said, it's the happiest place you ever walk into
because they're all so excited. I guess anytime you walk
into any of the rooms, they all run to you.
(06:41):
She said. It's the greatest feeling when ten small dogs
run to you and just want to smell you and
licky and say hi. She hasn't worked the romper room
yet and she's nervous about it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's okay again.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Bigger dogs who are high energy, like be Ruddy Baby
the highest energy, and there none of them are toy
But anyway, she was in the toy dog room, she said,
and it's so funny because there's one dog in there
that's medium sized and the rest are all small. But
the you know, the manager of the facility decided to
let that medium sized dog be in there because the
(07:16):
temperament matches the toy dog. Oh okay, and it's not
maybe not litter mate, but the dog that it also
lives with is in that room and as a toy dog.
And so this timid, middle sized dog, medium sized dog feels,
you know, more comfortable therefore less anxious in the toy
(07:37):
dog room. Isn't that special and cute?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's like a thunderjacket, well, a thunder poodle.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'm gonna read you a thank you note. I'm gonna
read you the first line first, and then i'll tell
you who it's from, Dear Jody and the Murph. Okay,
I'm a huge fan of the handwritten thank you note.
And there are only a couple of rules. You know,
go ahead and do it as quickly as you can,
although if you're a year late it still counts. It
(08:07):
doesn't matter when, really, but do it as quickly as
you can. Mention the gift itself, specifically in how you
intend to use and be genuine and sincere. Those are
really the only three rules for a thank you note
in life, for anything.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So the note was more than just dear Jody in
the No, I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Read the whole note to you, but I just wanted
to say that.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I don't think I've ever been called them before.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I know this is what's so funny.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I'll take its.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Edie's boyfriend, his name is Stuart. He is very funny.
Our youngest daughter, our youngest daughter, Phoebe. Her boyfriend's name
is Stuart, and he graduated high school in May. And
so this summer we got this thank you note for him,
and it is one of the best thank you notes
we've ever I've ever received. It's short, to the point,
it's funny. Are you ready saying you call you the
(08:50):
murph at home? No?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think that's written comedy?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Is that it is? Now? I wonder she's always laughing
around Stu Stuart, It says, dear Jody in the Murph.
Do you want to know what I gave? First? You
understand I gave we gave him two things.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I want you to read it okay, fine, thank.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
You for the snack box and tire inflator.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Not sure related items I show you.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I wanted to give him a big crave box for
his dorm. He's going to college.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Soon, and I wanted to give him a tire later.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's something practical, so I gave one and Murphy gave one.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It's the kind you plug into your car, you know,
if you're going to be and he's driving away for
a long distance to college, why not have that in
the car in case of a flat.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Dear Jody in the Murph, thank you for the snackbox
and tire inflator exclamation point. Not sure if the snack
box was meant for college, but I thoroughly enjoyed it
during the first weeks of summer. The eighth the whole
thing already. Hopefully I won't need the tire inflator anytime soon,
but when I do, I'll be in your debt. Many thanks, Stuart, PS.
(09:53):
Your gifts were the best wrapped a Stuart, and he
included something I did not expect, a picture, a printed
photo of he and Phoebe at prom. Oh nice, I mean, Stuart,
you did it all right, fantastic and I think maybe
just because he ate his whole crave box already, he
(10:14):
might be getting another one from us. Sam. I reached
out to your mom about her dog, pork Chop, that
she had to put down and that she having in
the front yard. 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 if
she wouldn't know my number. So I reached out to
her and Facebook messenger, which is where I see her
(10:36):
most often. She sends me stuff all the time. 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,
and she responded that he was twenty five.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, twenty five, and said, is that true, Sam, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
She gave me the breakdown on it, and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's an old dog.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Especially got pork Chop after my dad passed away and
he was already nine then.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Okay, so you think that could be year, So that's
twenty five, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Soy being overweight wasn't a big deal at twenty five.
Man either way.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I just want you to know. If 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 (11:28):
Yeah. 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 (11:41):
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 3 (11:54):
You want my amateur psychological opinion, totally, because she got
him shortly after my dad passed away.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Correct correct, correct, her companion.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It became an attachment that she needed because you need connection.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
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, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I guess as long as they see my mom is
still out there.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah, where's miss Judy there, Brett, he's inside.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Why I want to move on to something beautiful? And
there 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. Okay, WHOA so walking your baby around
(12:50):
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 1 (12:56):
We still have Chevy and we have Ashley. Right, Yes,
you don't still have them any lady.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I'll need a whole son.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
No, but more of your comments on the way.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Next direct message us on.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Facebook, 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 sleep
to sleep. I guess this is the way.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Somehow live to be twenty five years old. Okay, that's
like a magic feet for a doction, right, I mean,
I don't know, I'm it's.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
A magic number. And Sam perhaps thinks that she was
wrong about his age, and that's possible.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But we are not gonna what is that We're hanging
into the comments now about to tap.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Rebecca says that, may get this straight.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
This doction lived to be forty five.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, the Doction's actually older than me.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Rebecca says this. I worked with Annim 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. I agree with that. Thank you for saying that. Also,
does your pet pass when the ground is frozen in
the middle of winter. That the size of the pet is,
you know, something to consider if you're talking about burying
(14:19):
in the front yard. Unpleasant things to have to think
about when you're already feeling so sad.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah, well she would have buried pork chop in the backyard,
but she's got a lot of brutes and stuff, she said,
so okay, be easier in the front yard.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Has she have they already buried pork Chopper, do.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You just been on the ground since this weekend?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Okay, I didn't know. Okay, thank you Sam for that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I actually put super sensitive common.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Robina says, we've buried ours, but we have the land
to do it on.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh yeah, yeah. To me, that's just tough. I mean
it's tough physically and yeah, and I'm worried I'm gonna
do something wrong. I know, I guess there's.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
No way to do it.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
But you know the cremation too, so it is a
personal thing.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
It is one of the cats that we lost years ago.
I've married in the backyard, so I mean I've done
it before.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I know. Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
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.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
In the movies.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, as cats come back.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Okay, say that for children who are listening. This doesn't
happen kids.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
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 1 (15:39):
Conspiracy the keep it coming.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
We love hearing from you. Let's jump in. We have
a text that came in speaking of back to school
from Carrie. My name is Carrie and I'm a new
school bus driver.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Oh cool.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It can be very intimidating for a new driver to
learn the route. So please let your listeners no to
have patients with school buses. They can be new, they
can be new. I've never thought of that either, well,
but that's true.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Patients are out of school. Bus is something you should
have anyway because it's loaded with kids, you know what
I mean, that are getting on and getting off and
all that kind of stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I love listening and having you on my bus. Oh yay, Carrie,
thank you. Yeah, be sweet kids. Scary's new. When you
think about like the biggest thing you've ever driven. For me,
it's like, you know, Murphy's batmobile, which is my batmobile now.
But it's the big issue, the biggest thing you've ever driven.
(16:38):
There's a whole learning curve your mind takes on the
size of what you're driving. I cannot imagine attempting to
drive a school bus.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah I can't either. The biggest thing I ever drove
around was basically a twenty four foot portable building on
the back of the truck on a trailer. It was
a massive trailer. Yeah, awesome, and that I had to
be really careful of because when you're making a turn,
you're gonna flip the curb. You're not used to the
wheels being that far apart.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You clip the curb in regular view.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
That's very true.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah, can I do my biggest one?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes, Sam, it's a U haul, Yes, you know, moving.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Moving, Yeah, and the width and everything. I got that,
but I forgot about the fact that they're taller. You know,
you're backing up and also, oh, there's a tree.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Right whole level of your brain knowing the size of
what you're there's probably some sort of scientific, you know,
term for it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
But there's also there's also a governor on the rental
trucks like that, you know for a max speed you
can't I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Talking about government. All right, Thank you for that, Carrie.
Have a great school year, your first year as a
school bus driver. We have a little song for you.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
To everybody from the Simpsons.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Touch us anytime eight seven seven three one zero four
M S. J. Do you think that people live up
to their names sometimes.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yes, meaning titles or not.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Titles Murphy, manager Murphy. No, what do you mean name
like the name Murphy? Do you over your lifetime sort
of become Murphy? What about you, Sam? I think you're
very much of Sam.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I'm gonna tell you what it means. Okay, there is
a save your answer, because I know I asked you
and you want to say it. Sam. There's a new
study that shows that we people the longer you live,
as you get older, you sort of live up to
the name you were born into. And even in appearance.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Especially in appearance. You know somebody named Charles, is he
acting like a Charles? Or is he a Chuck? You know?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Okay, So basically it would be a stereotype on the name.
That's sort of like that.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Here's what they did, though this is not just a
guest somebody didn't publish this from a guest or a hunch.
They did research where children were asked to match faces
with names of adults, and they were really very accurate,
Like a of Sam and a picture of Murphy, and
they named it right, okay. And then but when matching
(19:13):
kids to their names. Children had a super hard time
because they haven't had the lifelong time to sort of
fit into their name and grow into it. You know.
It's kind of like a self fulfilling prop prophecy.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, I just didn't know, because like Murphy is a
Murphy's Law thing? Is that what that means? I mean?
Or is Murphy like an Irish thing? If I didn't
have if I had red hair, what I actually looked
more like a Murphy than I really am?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yes, if you had that accent, Oh yeah that's true, Sam,
I don't know if that's the right accent.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh how often in life can you name someone who
does not fit their name?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But you just said, yeah, you look like a Sam.
So what is a Sam?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Easy? Well, a fun guy, fun guy who's dependable but fun.
It's I mean, I think Sam fits you. I can't
really put my finger on why. But most often with
an adult, their name fits them. So it's almost like
(20:18):
the person becomes Sam became Sam.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Does Jody look like a Jody to you? Sam?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Answer probably with a why?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Stop? You really got to know your neighborhood if and
when you go on walks and I've been going on
more sunset walks lately, and I really look forward to it.
That sounds nice, It is nice.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Sunset walk is champ with you.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
No, he goes with me first, but he's uh not.
He's older and he's not able to go as far
as I want to go. I'm trying to get like
two miles in a night. So I bring this up
because three nights ago, one of the cutest things I've
ever encouned altered and one of my favorite things about
these walks is the nature that I encounter at sunset.
All the little creatures are coming alive at night, guys,
(21:06):
and you hear them and you see them, and it's exciting.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
So I saw some raccoons a mom and like three
baby raccoons the other night, and their little faces as
soon as they saw me, they were darting around trying
to get away, and they're just so funny. And so
that was three nights ago. And then two nights ago.
I saw two evenings ago one that had been run
(21:31):
over by a car and near the same spot, nearly
the same spot, and it was so upsetting because like
pause in the air. Oh, it was so sad.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You did.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Then the next night it wasn't there anymore, and I thought, goodness,
thank goodness. And the neighbors were sitting out on their
front porch and they were hey, and I was like, hi,
we speak often when I passed by their house if
they're on the front porch. And I said, you know,
there was a dead raccoon out here, you know, yesterday,
And she goes, yeah, we don't know. Somebody somebody got
rid of it. I was like, good I waved goodbye,
(22:02):
and when I'm coming back in that same spot on
the other side of the road, that raccoon was there,
but somebody had moved it. But but you could tell
somebody had stopped their car and taken some like napkins
that you would have had in the glove compartment or whatever,
and put it on its hands and moved it. So
there's that, because it's like the raccoon has napkins on
(22:27):
his hands, he's sitting on the side of the road. Yes,
so it's not as beautiful the sunset bucks, I bet, yeah,
it seems.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I mean, I'm hoping this person's not going back to
put them in different poses every day. So if you're
a meat eater, you will love this story. Even if
you're not you, I think you'll still find it interesting.
So Jody and I met our youngest daughter, Phoebe is
moving in to an apartment with some new roommates. One
(22:59):
of the it's a brother and sister. Great people, and
the brother is entering his first year of college. So
I'm guessing he's I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Nineteen, although he seemed much older.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, he carries himself, yeah, as an older soul, and
so this is actually the perfect example of that. I
don't know why he was. We were talking about how
the air fryer is a staple of every college, you know, apartment.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Well, Phoebe was asking, you want me to bring an
air fry He's, oh, I've got.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I've got one.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And so his name was Cooper, and I turned him.
I said, you know, Cooper, I said, I don't know
if you've heard. I've not tried this, but there are
some people that say a steak in the air fryer
is like off the charts. Good.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Did he roll his eyes?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Well?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Actually, and I would have thought he would, Oh, I
need to try that, but he immediately said, nope, grill,
that's I'm not doing anything. Steaks can only be done
on the grill. If you're going to eat him right,
you're gonna respect the meat. You've got to you got
to cook it on the grill.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I'm like, wow, no, Soul's answer.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah exactly, I missed that part. You know, usually you
would think, hey, cool man, when can we do it?
And I still want to try it myself. They say
that it's like, you know, with a fairly thick steak,
you know, like twelve minutes and you flip it a
six minutes in and it supposedly.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Does it look right. Something about a steak has to look.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Right, you sharpie and paint the lines on it if
you want.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
The first person that told me about it is that
they actually added some sort of oil coating or something
to it to help it brown a little bit better.
So it needed it needed that, but not much. I mean,
it doesn't take a whole lot. I just you know, me,
i'd worry about a fire hazard. That's a big piece
of meat inside of an air fryer. And you know,
an air fryer is nothing but an upside down electric stove.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Welcome to Welcome to my world, people.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Welcome for everybody kitchen. So that's why, honestly, That's why
I haven't tried the bacon thing in there, because I
just don't want all popping around with yes inches away right.
I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Don't know, but there are people that swear by the
air frier steak, and we'll have to say, but I
know one nineteen year old who's not about it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
It's so funny, you know. The one thing that I
did and enjoyed it in the air fryer with a
fried shrimp. Remember, yeah, but it took a lot of time.
They were not as it was not fried. It was
air fried, so it was really better for you. But honestly, yeah,
it was a lot, a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Well, if it's something you want to travel yourself, you
can get the method that I saw for doing an
air fire steak at Murphy Samon Jody dot com.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Sam, have you ever really noticed pregnancy glow in pregnant women?
I know Murphy has and does on the regular. No,
you've never seen it.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Maybe I haven't. I just didn't notice. You know, I
was a different person back then. I didn't notice the
glow there.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Okay, I'm not talking about the women that you were
expecting with. I'm saying women in general, who are pregnant.
Do you notice a glow?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Okay, I'm a loser.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
No, different people have different sensitivity. Emily, who I work
out out with, is she's expecting her first child and
she's got the pregnancy glow. And do you know what,
before she even told me that she was expecting, it's
like that, there's this. I couldn't come got the radar,
but it was the glow. Yeah, I love it. It's
the sweetest thing.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
It is a sweet, sweet thing. And since we were
talking about the other day, I started reading about it
because I remember being told I had the glow, not
by you, Sam, obviously when I was pregnant.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I've told you many times. You had the glove for
both of her girls showing.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, it's increased blood flow. It really happens. It's a radiant, radiant,
luminous look sometimes a flushed sort of look that women
have when they're pregnant. It's your blood volume has increased
by fifty percent, your body is doing a lot, and
your skin looks brighter. Is one reason. It's also hormonal changes,
(26:49):
of course, higher levels of estrogen and progesterone.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
All that. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong things, because
I would think, to me, the glow is just walking
around on cloud nine all the time.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh no, that's a physical glove, the skin.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It's it's not the attitude, all right. Higher body temperature,
you definitely have a higher body temperature when your body
is doing all of that. It's an amazing thing. You
hear that. But once you've been pregnant, gone through a pregnancy,
you know, you know, recovered from a pregnancy, and your
life goes on, you realize, whoa I did that? That
(27:27):
happened to me?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
You always said you felt like a furnace, Judy.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Oh my gosh, so much. You don't even have to
say that anyway, So next time you see a pregnant woman,
don't say anything about it, but see if maybe you
can pick up on that now, Sam, it's a beautiful
real thing. Parents who use humor in everyday life, in parenting,
(27:56):
not constantly, but in parenting have better religon ships with
their kids. I mean, let that sit for a moment,
and you know that it's true. You realize that families
that can laugh together can get through things.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Isn't that? And that's really true for anything in life though, right.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I mean true workplaces as well.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
The sense of humor will help you get through just
about anything.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
And you know, to me, the thing that comes to
mind is dad and dad jokes, because, for example, just
the other day, a few bit days ago, the four
of us Me, Murphy, Taylor, and Phoebe got into the
car and went on a road trip to see some
family and I might as when he starts doing the
dad joke thing, Murphy, when you start doing it, I
(28:38):
might as well be invisible, And that's fine because that's
so funny.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Did another one. You're part of the it's the four
of us one up becoming part of the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Look at me. I accept it. It's just the way
it is. I really do accept it. In fact, truth
be told, when you and I first were dating and
I was getting to know you, you making me laugh
was a huge part of your game, huge part. So
with the kids it is the same, Thank you very much. Yeah,
(29:10):
it used to work on me, and now I'm like, okay, So.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
The girls still laugh at his dad jokes?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Are you kidding me? They love it. They live for it.
I think it makes them feel young again too.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well that and honestly, they jump right in you know
what I'm saying, that they know how to keep that
joke running for a while.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yeah, but have you ever thought about that, sam as
a family, families who can laugh together, you know, it's
you have a better relationship with your kids if you
can make them laugh.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, I'm finding nowadays with Maddie and Parker, the dad
jokes don't go over so well. Well, I think I
may have gone too far to the too many times
in the well, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Or maybe they were the same jokes or.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Just just the old they expect that response from dad.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
It maybe though, understand their age, they're in college right now.
It's more about where they are because they're going to
come back around to wanting that from you.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
You're right, because Sammy and Will being thirty and thirty five,
they enjoyed that.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It's about where they are, not where you are. You're
probably not changing at this point, you think, anyway, no
pressure to be funny if you're not naturally funny, but
as you can, if you can laugh as a family,
you know.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
And loving a little self deprecation, any of those things
go a long way.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Unfortunately, out of two parents, one is going to be funnier.
Don't fight for the beat, because if you're not the
funny one, maybe you're the you know, more emotional one,
or the one who buys them makeup.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You're the one with the head on their shoulders. I
think you're funny too, Joe
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Okay, fine, Dad jokes on the way, By the way,
we welcome them at all times eight seven seven three
one zero four MSJ.
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody Weekend Replay podcast. Twelve
of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Enjoy. 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 doctor approval. By the way, just see you
(00:28):
didn't sneak at it, 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 the day Taylor was born.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
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 2 (00:54):
My life changed in that instant, and you.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Weren't listening on me and Murphy were carrying the load
for a few weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oh, were you carrying a real load in your body?
Were you? Anyway? You I 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 that's too intimate? Right, you
had a people were uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
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.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
We were doing.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But you know, older generations, I think sometimes see things differently.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
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. I
was at her house. We were watching a movie and
in the movie, a woman starts having a baby in
the in the labor and delivery room, and you know
(01:52):
how it's portrayed on in the movies with all the
pushing in this wedding, which is not so unreal. But
jerry An's mother, Miss Carroll, could not watch that and
started grabbing her body and leaning over like I gotta
get out of this room. She couldn't watch it. It
was like she was reliving it. So for someone listening
(02:13):
to that, maybe it is a little bit too close
to an experience.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, that's true, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
So you know, for anybody that heard that all those
years ago, we didn't mean to bring back something that's
it was difficulty, too intimate. 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. And this is
(02:40):
so cool, guys. This comes from professor of psychiatry at
Harvard Medical School who has studied happiness forever, and it's a.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Very happy person.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
The people that put these out, it's like this guy
the happiest person.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
The information given now you're going. You're going to sometimes
be going towards happiness and going sometimes going away from it.
It's not a place that you you ever.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Right, you can't stay there permanent, right, You never.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Just reach 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.
(03:29):
He's like, basics, take care of yourself and you're more
likely to be happy. So check.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
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.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, free ones though, right, not social media.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yes, yes, people that you look into their eyes and
you speak to them as much as often.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Whether it could be a family member or a best
friend or whatever.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
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.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
All of that, and that's why you see so many
different activities. For example, at senior living centers. You know
where people are. They need that court and they may
not have that if they were still living at home.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So true, And the third one being go ahead and
just strengthen your existing relationships. So if 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.
It means strengthen the relationship.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It means a positive attitude. It means not saying I
got to go back home to Jodie again.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No, I'll stay here at work.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Wait, it made straight existing relationships. Got's following me? Yesterday
I got a picture text to me of the cutest
three little dogs. And so our oldest daughter, Taylor works
at a doggie daycare now and she sent me this.
(05:16):
It's so cute, says say hi to Hershey, Oreo and Axel,
who I'm learning so much through Taylor working this new
job because she comes home and she's, you know, back
home for us for a little while. And so she's
telling first of all, when she walks in the door
having been there for six to eight hours, our dogs
go nuts because she smells like one hundred dogs. And
(05:38):
so Champ especially is all over Taylor right now. But
she sends me these pictures of these of all the dogs,
and she shares with me little videos of her favorite
you know, and his his name is Bach.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So I get Hershey, I get Oreo, but is actually
a redheaded dog, actual Rose what I think guns and roads?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
No, Axel is a bulldog. It looks like so Number one.
I love the learning all the names of the patches.
It gives you ideas. Yeah, but the other thing is
that she's learning so much and I wanted to pass
it along for all the dog lovers. You know, dogs
are it's always it's all about energy. It's not about size. Correct. Well,
(06:21):
if you have a small dog, you know that because
small dogs think they're big and big dogs think they're small.
But so, she was working the toy dog room again
the other day, which is exactly what it sounds like.
She said, it's the happiest place you ever walk into
because they're all so excited. I guess anytime you walk
into any of the rooms, they all run to you.
(06:41):
She said. It's the greatest feeling when ten small dogs
run to you and just want to smell you and
licky and say hi. She hasn't worked the romper room
yet and she's nervous about it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's okay again.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Bigger dogs who are high energy, like be Ruddy Baby
the highest energy, and there none of them are toy
But anyway, she was in the toy dog room, she said,
and it's so funny because there's one dog in there
that's medium sized and the rest are all small. But
the you know, the manager of the facility decided to
let that medium sized dog be in there because the
(07:16):
temperament matches the toy dog. Oh okay, and it's not
maybe not litter mate, but the dog that it also
lives with is in that room and as a toy dog.
And so this timid, middle sized dog, medium sized dog feels,
you know, more comfortable therefore less anxious in the toy
(07:37):
dog room. Isn't that special and cute?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's like a thunderjacket, well, a thunder poodle.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'm gonna read you a thank you note. I'm gonna
read you the first line first, and then i'll tell
you who it's from, Dear Jody and the Murph. Okay,
I'm a huge fan of the handwritten thank you note.
And there are only a couple of rules. You know,
go ahead and do it as quickly as you can,
although if you're a year late it still counts. It
(08:07):
doesn't matter when, really, but do it as quickly as
you can. Mention the gift itself, specifically in how you
intend to use and be genuine and sincere. Those are
really the only three rules for a thank you note
in life, for anything.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So the note was more than just dear Jody in
the No, I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Read the whole note to you, but I just wanted
to say that.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I don't think I've ever been called them before.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I know this is what's so funny.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I'll take its.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Edie's boyfriend, his name is Stuart. He is very funny.
Our youngest daughter, our youngest daughter, Phoebe. Her boyfriend's name
is Stuart, and he graduated high school in May. And
so this summer we got this thank you note for him,
and it is one of the best thank you notes
we've ever I've ever received. It's short, to the point,
it's funny. Are you ready saying you call you the
(08:50):
murph at home? No?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think that's written comedy?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Is that it is? Now? I wonder she's always laughing
around Stu Stuart, It says, dear Jody in the Murph.
Do you want to know what I gave? First? You
understand I gave we gave him two things.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I want you to read it okay, fine, thank.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
You for the snack box and tire inflator.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Not sure related items I show you.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I wanted to give him a big crave box for
his dorm. He's going to college.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Soon, and I wanted to give him a tire later.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's something practical, so I gave one and Murphy gave one.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It's the kind you plug into your car, you know,
if you're going to be and he's driving away for
a long distance to college, why not have that in
the car in case of a flat.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Dear Jody in the Murph, thank you for the snackbox
and tire inflator exclamation point. Not sure if the snack
box was meant for college, but I thoroughly enjoyed it
during the first weeks of summer. The eighth the whole
thing already. Hopefully I won't need the tire inflator anytime soon,
but when I do, I'll be in your debt. Many thanks, Stuart, PS.
(09:53):
Your gifts were the best wrapped a Stuart, and he
included something I did not expect, a picture, a printed
photo of he and Phoebe at prom. Oh nice, I mean, Stuart,
you did it all right, fantastic and I think maybe
just because he ate his whole crave box already, he
(10:14):
might be getting another one from us. Sam. I reached
out to your mom about her dog, pork Chop, that
she had to put down and that she having in
the front yard. 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 if
she wouldn't know my number. So I reached out to
her and Facebook messenger, which is where I see her
(10:36):
most often. She sends me stuff all the time. 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,
and she responded that he was twenty five.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, twenty five, and said, is that true, Sam, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
She gave me the breakdown on it, and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's an old dog.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Especially got pork Chop after my dad passed away and
he was already nine then.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Okay, so you think that could be year, So that's
twenty five, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Soy being overweight wasn't a big deal at twenty five.
Man either way.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I just want you to know. If 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 (11:28):
Yeah. 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 (11:41):
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 3 (11:54):
You want my amateur psychological opinion, totally, because she got
him shortly after my dad passed away.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Correct correct, correct, her companion.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It became an attachment that she needed because you need connection.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
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, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I guess as long as they see my mom is
still out there.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah, where's miss Judy there, Brett, he's inside.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Why I want to move on to something beautiful? And
there 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. Okay, WHOA so walking your baby around
(12:50):
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 1 (12:56):
We still have Chevy and we have Ashley. Right, Yes,
you don't still have them any lady.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I'll need a whole son.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
No, but more of your comments on the way.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Next direct message us on.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Facebook, 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 sleep
to sleep. I guess this is the way.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Somehow live to be twenty five years old. Okay, that's
like a magic feet for a doction, right, I mean,
I don't know, I'm it's.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
A magic number. And Sam perhaps thinks that she was
wrong about his age, and that's possible.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But we are not gonna what is that We're hanging
into the comments now about to tap.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Rebecca says that, may get this straight.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
This doction lived to be forty five.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, the Doction's actually older than me.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Rebecca says this. I worked with Annim 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. I agree with that. Thank you for saying that. Also,
does your pet pass when the ground is frozen in
the middle of winter. That the size of the pet is,
you know, something to consider if you're talking about burying
(14:19):
in the front yard. Unpleasant things to have to think
about when you're already feeling so sad.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah, well she would have buried pork chop in the backyard,
but she's got a lot of brutes and stuff, she said,
so okay, be easier in the front yard.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Has she have they already buried pork Chopper, do.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You just been on the ground since this weekend?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Okay, I didn't know. Okay, thank you Sam for that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I actually put super sensitive common.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Robina says, we've buried ours, but we have the land
to do it on.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh yeah, yeah. To me, that's just tough. I mean
it's tough physically and yeah, and I'm worried I'm gonna
do something wrong. I know, I guess there's.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
No way to do it.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
But you know the cremation too, so it is a
personal thing.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
It is one of the cats that we lost years ago.
I've married in the backyard, so I mean I've done
it before.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I know. Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
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.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
In the movies.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, as cats come back.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Okay, say that for children who are listening. This doesn't
happen kids.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
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 1 (15:39):
Conspiracy the keep it coming.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
We love hearing from you. Let's jump in. We have
a text that came in speaking of back to school
from Carrie. My name is Carrie and I'm a new
school bus driver.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Oh cool.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It can be very intimidating for a new driver to
learn the route. So please let your listeners no to
have patients with school buses. They can be new, they
can be new. I've never thought of that either, well,
but that's true.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Patients are out of school. Bus is something you should
have anyway because it's loaded with kids, you know what
I mean, that are getting on and getting off and
all that kind of stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I love listening and having you on my bus. Oh yay, Carrie,
thank you. Yeah, be sweet kids. Scary's new. When you
think about like the biggest thing you've ever driven. For me,
it's like, you know, Murphy's batmobile, which is my batmobile now.
But it's the big issue, the biggest thing you've ever driven.
(16:38):
There's a whole learning curve your mind takes on the
size of what you're driving. I cannot imagine attempting to
drive a school bus.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah I can't either. The biggest thing I ever drove
around was basically a twenty four foot portable building on
the back of the truck on a trailer. It was
a massive trailer. Yeah, awesome, and that I had to
be really careful of because when you're making a turn,
you're gonna flip the curb. You're not used to the
wheels being that far apart.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You clip the curb in regular view.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
That's very true.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah, can I do my biggest one?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes, Sam, it's a U haul, Yes, you know, moving.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Moving, Yeah, and the width and everything. I got that,
but I forgot about the fact that they're taller. You know,
you're backing up and also, oh, there's a tree.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Right whole level of your brain knowing the size of
what you're there's probably some sort of scientific, you know,
term for it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
But there's also there's also a governor on the rental
trucks like that, you know for a max speed you
can't I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Talking about government. All right, Thank you for that, Carrie.
Have a great school year, your first year as a
school bus driver. We have a little song for you.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
To everybody from the Simpsons.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Touch us anytime eight seven seven three one zero four
M S. J. Do you think that people live up
to their names sometimes.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yes, meaning titles or not.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Titles Murphy, manager Murphy. No, what do you mean name
like the name Murphy? Do you over your lifetime sort
of become Murphy? What about you, Sam? I think you're
very much of Sam.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I'm gonna tell you what it means. Okay, there is
a save your answer, because I know I asked you
and you want to say it. Sam. There's a new
study that shows that we people the longer you live,
as you get older, you sort of live up to
the name you were born into. And even in appearance.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Especially in appearance. You know somebody named Charles, is he
acting like a Charles? Or is he a Chuck? You know?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Okay, So basically it would be a stereotype on the name.
That's sort of like that.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Here's what they did, though this is not just a
guest somebody didn't publish this from a guest or a hunch.
They did research where children were asked to match faces
with names of adults, and they were really very accurate,
Like a of Sam and a picture of Murphy, and
they named it right, okay. And then but when matching
(19:13):
kids to their names. Children had a super hard time
because they haven't had the lifelong time to sort of
fit into their name and grow into it. You know.
It's kind of like a self fulfilling prop prophecy.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, I just didn't know, because like Murphy is a
Murphy's Law thing? Is that what that means? I mean?
Or is Murphy like an Irish thing? If I didn't
have if I had red hair, what I actually looked
more like a Murphy than I really am?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yes, if you had that accent, Oh yeah that's true, Sam,
I don't know if that's the right accent.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh how often in life can you name someone who
does not fit their name?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But you just said, yeah, you look like a Sam.
So what is a Sam?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Easy? Well, a fun guy, fun guy who's dependable but fun.
It's I mean, I think Sam fits you. I can't
really put my finger on why. But most often with
an adult, their name fits them. So it's almost like
(20:18):
the person becomes Sam became Sam.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Does Jody look like a Jody to you? Sam?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Answer probably with a why?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Stop? You really got to know your neighborhood if and
when you go on walks and I've been going on
more sunset walks lately, and I really look forward to it.
That sounds nice, It is nice.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Sunset walk is champ with you.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
No, he goes with me first, but he's uh not.
He's older and he's not able to go as far
as I want to go. I'm trying to get like
two miles in a night. So I bring this up
because three nights ago, one of the cutest things I've
ever encouned altered and one of my favorite things about
these walks is the nature that I encounter at sunset.
All the little creatures are coming alive at night, guys,
(21:06):
and you hear them and you see them, and it's exciting.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
So I saw some raccoons a mom and like three
baby raccoons the other night, and their little faces as
soon as they saw me, they were darting around trying
to get away, and they're just so funny. And so
that was three nights ago. And then two nights ago.
I saw two evenings ago one that had been run
(21:31):
over by a car and near the same spot, nearly
the same spot, and it was so upsetting because like
pause in the air. Oh, it was so sad.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You did.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Then the next night it wasn't there anymore, and I thought, goodness,
thank goodness. And the neighbors were sitting out on their
front porch and they were hey, and I was like, hi,
we speak often when I passed by their house if
they're on the front porch. And I said, you know,
there was a dead raccoon out here, you know, yesterday,
And she goes, yeah, we don't know. Somebody somebody got
rid of it. I was like, good I waved goodbye,
(22:02):
and when I'm coming back in that same spot on
the other side of the road, that raccoon was there,
but somebody had moved it. But but you could tell
somebody had stopped their car and taken some like napkins
that you would have had in the glove compartment or whatever,
and put it on its hands and moved it. So
there's that, because it's like the raccoon has napkins on
(22:27):
his hands, he's sitting on the side of the road. Yes,
so it's not as beautiful the sunset bucks, I bet, yeah,
it seems.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I mean, I'm hoping this person's not going back to
put them in different poses every day. So if you're
a meat eater, you will love this story. Even if
you're not you, I think you'll still find it interesting.
So Jody and I met our youngest daughter, Phoebe is
moving in to an apartment with some new roommates. One
(22:59):
of the it's a brother and sister. Great people, and
the brother is entering his first year of college. So
I'm guessing he's I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Nineteen, although he seemed much older.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, he carries himself, yeah, as an older soul, and
so this is actually the perfect example of that. I
don't know why he was. We were talking about how
the air fryer is a staple of every college, you know, apartment.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Well, Phoebe was asking, you want me to bring an
air fry He's, oh, I've got.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I've got one.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And so his name was Cooper, and I turned him.
I said, you know, Cooper, I said, I don't know
if you've heard. I've not tried this, but there are
some people that say a steak in the air fryer
is like off the charts. Good.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Did he roll his eyes?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Well?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Actually, and I would have thought he would, Oh, I
need to try that, but he immediately said, nope, grill,
that's I'm not doing anything. Steaks can only be done
on the grill. If you're going to eat him right,
you're gonna respect the meat. You've got to you got
to cook it on the grill.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I'm like, wow, no, Soul's answer.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah exactly, I missed that part. You know, usually you
would think, hey, cool man, when can we do it?
And I still want to try it myself. They say
that it's like, you know, with a fairly thick steak,
you know, like twelve minutes and you flip it a
six minutes in and it supposedly.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Does it look right. Something about a steak has to look.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Right, you sharpie and paint the lines on it if
you want.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
The first person that told me about it is that
they actually added some sort of oil coating or something
to it to help it brown a little bit better.
So it needed it needed that, but not much. I mean,
it doesn't take a whole lot. I just you know, me,
i'd worry about a fire hazard. That's a big piece
of meat inside of an air fryer. And you know,
an air fryer is nothing but an upside down electric stove.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Welcome to Welcome to my world, people.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Welcome for everybody kitchen. So that's why, honestly, That's why
I haven't tried the bacon thing in there, because I
just don't want all popping around with yes inches away right.
I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Don't know, but there are people that swear by the
air frier steak, and we'll have to say, but I
know one nineteen year old who's not about it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
It's so funny, you know. The one thing that I
did and enjoyed it in the air fryer with a
fried shrimp. Remember, yeah, but it took a lot of time.
They were not as it was not fried. It was
air fried, so it was really better for you. But honestly, yeah,
it was a lot, a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Well, if it's something you want to travel yourself, you
can get the method that I saw for doing an
air fire steak at Murphy Samon Jody dot com.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Sam, have you ever really noticed pregnancy glow in pregnant women?
I know Murphy has and does on the regular. No,
you've never seen it.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Maybe I haven't. I just didn't notice. You know, I
was a different person back then. I didn't notice the
glow there.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Okay, I'm not talking about the women that you were
expecting with. I'm saying women in general, who are pregnant.
Do you notice a glow?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Okay, I'm a loser.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
No, different people have different sensitivity. Emily, who I work
out out with, is she's expecting her first child and
she's got the pregnancy glow. And do you know what,
before she even told me that she was expecting, it's
like that, there's this. I couldn't come got the radar,
but it was the glow. Yeah, I love it. It's
the sweetest thing.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
It is a sweet, sweet thing. And since we were
talking about the other day, I started reading about it
because I remember being told I had the glow, not
by you, Sam, obviously when I was pregnant.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I've told you many times. You had the glove for
both of her girls showing.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, it's increased blood flow. It really happens. It's a radiant, radiant,
luminous look sometimes a flushed sort of look that women
have when they're pregnant. It's your blood volume has increased
by fifty percent, your body is doing a lot, and
your skin looks brighter. Is one reason. It's also hormonal changes,
(26:49):
of course, higher levels of estrogen and progesterone.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
All that. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong things, because
I would think, to me, the glow is just walking
around on cloud nine all the time.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh no, that's a physical glove, the skin.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It's it's not the attitude, all right. Higher body temperature,
you definitely have a higher body temperature when your body
is doing all of that. It's an amazing thing. You
hear that. But once you've been pregnant, gone through a pregnancy,
you know, you know, recovered from a pregnancy, and your
life goes on, you realize, whoa I did that? That
(27:27):
happened to me?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
You always said you felt like a furnace, Judy.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Oh my gosh, so much. You don't even have to
say that anyway, So next time you see a pregnant woman,
don't say anything about it, but see if maybe you
can pick up on that now, Sam, it's a beautiful
real thing. Parents who use humor in everyday life, in parenting,
(27:56):
not constantly, but in parenting have better religon ships with
their kids. I mean, let that sit for a moment,
and you know that it's true. You realize that families
that can laugh together can get through things.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Isn't that? And that's really true for anything in life though, right.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I mean true workplaces as well.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
The sense of humor will help you get through just
about anything.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
And you know, to me, the thing that comes to
mind is dad and dad jokes, because, for example, just
the other day, a few bit days ago, the four
of us Me, Murphy, Taylor, and Phoebe got into the
car and went on a road trip to see some
family and I might as when he starts doing the
dad joke thing, Murphy, when you start doing it, I
(28:38):
might as well be invisible, And that's fine because that's
so funny.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Did another one. You're part of the it's the four
of us one up becoming part of the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Look at me. I accept it. It's just the way
it is. I really do accept it. In fact, truth
be told, when you and I first were dating and
I was getting to know you, you making me laugh
was a huge part of your game, huge part. So
with the kids it is the same, Thank you very much. Yeah,
(29:10):
it used to work on me, and now I'm like, okay, So.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
The girls still laugh at his dad jokes?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Are you kidding me? They love it. They live for it.
I think it makes them feel young again too.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well that and honestly, they jump right in you know
what I'm saying, that they know how to keep that
joke running for a while.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yeah, but have you ever thought about that, sam as
a family, families who can laugh together, you know, it's
you have a better relationship with your kids if you
can make them laugh.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, I'm finding nowadays with Maddie and Parker, the dad
jokes don't go over so well. Well, I think I
may have gone too far to the too many times
in the well, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Or maybe they were the same jokes or.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Just just the old they expect that response from dad.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
It maybe though, understand their age, they're in college right now.
It's more about where they are because they're going to
come back around to wanting that from you.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
You're right, because Sammy and Will being thirty and thirty five,
they enjoyed that.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It's about where they are, not where you are. You're
probably not changing at this point, you think, anyway, no
pressure to be funny if you're not naturally funny, but
as you can, if you can laugh as a family,
you know.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
And loving a little self deprecation, any of those things
go a long way.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Unfortunately, out of two parents, one is going to be funnier.
Don't fight for the beat, because if you're not the
funny one, maybe you're the you know, more emotional one,
or the one who buys them makeup.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
You're the one with the head on their shoulders. I
think you're funny too, Joe
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Okay, fine, Dad jokes on the way, By the way,
we welcome them at all times eight seven seven three
