Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Murphy Samon Jody Weekend Replay podcast, picking
out some of our favorite moments from this past week,
and it starts, now, what are.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The qualities that you look for in a true friend?
We're going to get to the top few. There's like
three or so that are really universal, but you don't
really know to look for them unless it's pointed out.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, I mean, what are yours? You've got some really
play friendships.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I do have some really lifelong, solid friendships that I well.
Number one, friendship is a choice. It's beautiful because it's
a choice you're choosing to make this person important to you,
and that's one thing that's so beautiful about it. But
for me, it's someone that I'm safe with and I
mean emotionally like someone that you know you can just
(00:46):
say anything to and it's.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Not you know, you're safe.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I think that's one thing that young people look for.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
They're looking, you know, a young person who attaches to
a friend at school. You just want someone that you
are safe being who you are with.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, and I think that's that makes up two things
make that up. Trustworthiness is one of them, and uh,
a non judgmental you know, being being unconditional basically.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Right, right you? Sam? Do you have anything you look
for in a friendship? I know this is not your jam.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Let's say, let's ask Murphy.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Okay, well Sam's uncomfortable that question.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah. The two things that I just said I think
would be the same for me too. It's really it's
it really is that you know that you're completely in
sync with you. There's never another agenda. If you disagree,
you just that's all that you know. It's important.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Everybody's not meant to be friends either. You can't spark
with everybody, and you're not supposed to have six hundred friends.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, my mom always used to say that. I remember
being bummed, you know, in school when I really just
didn't feel I was, you know, six hundred friends, always
jealous with the you know, of the in crowd and
all that sort of thing, and then realized, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, top three things. Best qualities and a real friend.
Someone who respects your boundaries. If you can't don't want
to talk about something or do something and they don't
respect that, that's a red flag. So your boundaries are
yours and you are right to have those. Someone who
(02:11):
is still around during your tough times, who doesn't sort
of abandon you during getting a name in from Sam
over there.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, I mean somebody that's seen you at your worst.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, and they're still still your friend. Yeah. That's a
big one. And then the other one, this is a
big one.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Someone who celebrates your successes with you. Yeah, like really
is genuinely happy when good things happen to you, and
they don't if they do feel jealousy, they don't. You
don't feel that or I've heard that once a long
time ago. If someone is jealous of you, they're not
really your friend. So someone who celebrates your success is
(02:47):
one thing that you're looking for.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Those are the top three. Good luck.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
This keeps coming up because of baby named consultants and
us learning that they exist, and Sam shaking his head
about it. Would never even give somebody five but help
with a name suggestion.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Sam thinks it's a questionable investment.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Has a lot of money to pay somebody for something
you can do on your own, sure, and if you
if you're stumped, there's always Google, and I believe that's free.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Here's what I was saying is that I was lovely.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I loved thinking of baby names, but I was lucky
that Murphy and I always agreed. We agreed on Taylor,
we agreed on Phoebe yeah, yes, check Chack and.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And the boys boys names we knew were.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
To Okay, So, Sam, your children, your ex wives, ex girlfriends,
did you ever have a disagreement about names?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Do you remember?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
No, we never did. That's wonderful, Sammy, and well, we
knew there was a reason for both of them, Jackson.
It was either Jack or Max. Okay, yeah, and we
were both cool with that, and we decided to go
with Jack.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's good. So there were other issues then, thy.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay, I.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Names not all the reps to this?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
And what about Maddie and Parker the twins?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Goodness you were I was not involved in that.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
And those are good names though, yeah, I remember being
told those were going to be those kids' names.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Now, the questions why were you not involved?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
You don't have to answer why you weren't involved.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Some things are meant to be enshrouded in mystery.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Those are some good names. Do you love them? Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, they're great names.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
They are good.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I like the short versions of Maddie. It's Madeline, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, it's just funny because I.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Don't know the story behind those names, but I am sure.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
There are couples who have, okay, who have disagreed about
what the name is and then somebody wins that battle
because a name goes on a birth certificate. And then
is it something that bothers you forever? Do you eventually
accept it because it's your child?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
You know?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
If that is you, If you've ever been in that boat,
I want to know about it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I mean, I would hope somebody doesn't hold a grudge
long term, because you're not going to have that conversation.
I'm not sud Well. You know, if it were up
to me, you wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Be called I'm not saying grudge.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh is your mama's fault?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Not saying grudge, But sometimes people remember things like.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
That are the arguments that went with them?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You're right, okay?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So eight seven seven three to one zero four MSJ.
To let us know if you've ever been in that spot.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Texter, call us eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Lots of ways to jump in and the email's just
burning up today. So guys, this is from Bobby. Bobby
with an.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Eye Okay, Hi, Bobby heard.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The story Jody about your walk and the raccoon. You guys,
remember what Bobby's talking about.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Oh, the raccoon with the napkins attached to his hands.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, it was a poor dead raccoon that someone had
moved out of the middle of the street with napkins
so that they wouldn't have to touch the hands, but
just put it on the side of the street and
then left. And the raccoon was up there with the
hands up and the napkins on the hands.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
For several days.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Where I walk, it was sad he's gone now, by
the way, I don't know what happened to the napkins
remained for a while.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, Sam was thinking that you walked back in a
dinner scene evolved or something like that.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Some other taxidermy related.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Bobby Synthus, I thought I would share a similar experience.
A raccoon was hit by a car at a turn
I take when coming home every day. It was during
winter and off the road, so it stayed there for
a long while. Eventually, someone tied a balloon to the
to the.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Tail what and the balloon read get well soon.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Really.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
A few days later someone ran over the balloon. A
couple of days later, the raccoon was removed. A shrine
was erected to the raccoon, fotive candles across and flowers
that was eventually removed. Months later, towards the end of summer,
(07:02):
a sign was erected that read gone but not forgotten,
with a picture of a raccoon beside it. Was another
sign that read Rocky the raccoon. Oh, Bobby, bless you
for sharing that with us.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
See, that's a perfect example of why the city wants
to get out there and clean something up quickly versus
it for a while.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I have to plot all of that, that's all all
of its genius.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And you think it's hysterical.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I know I could have been.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
That could have been driven all of that, Bobby, by
a child who was so sad to see your their
first ever you know.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Root kill. You just never know that couldn't have been
a mom or a dad going, you know what, let's
help you know little Johnny through this bye saying goodbye.
I know that you think it Wilson with the balloon
is hysterical, but.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Thank you, Bobby.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, jump in anytime eight seven seven three one zero
for MSJ.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I think you're gonna find this one hard to believe.
But you know, we were talking recently about the arguments
that you and Murphy have, Jody, the dumb marriage arguments.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, that was on Every Spouse Had, That was enter
after the show podcast one day last week.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, and you've shared a lot of yours. We loved him.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah right. It's really funny on our Facebook and Instagram,
so many different shares from different couples.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That one of my favorite dumb arguments that somebody got
into was whether to open presents on Christmas Eve or
Christmas Morning.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Apparently it was a bad argument.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
And then the one you know about the cup of
coffee being filled half full.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, the husband who likes his coffee half full and
if it's higher than that, he's not happy.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But you know what, every couple is different, everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, welcome to marriage people.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
I don't know how to defend that. One. One thing
I was thinking of is the one thing that I
never argued with any of my spouses. By three spouses, Okay, Sam,
it was over the folding of clothes.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm so impressed.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, okay, first marriage, I kind of did most of
the laundry so there was no one to argue with.
But second one, It's like when she started folding clothes,
it's like, this is not the way we fold close.
I didn't say it, I just thought it. Yeah, And
then I realized, you know, everybody's got a different way
of folding clothes. Yes, my way of folding was the
way I was brought up seeing it folded. Hers was
(09:26):
the same. So that was one of those ones where
it's like, this doesn't really matter.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Did she know that you were biting your tongue?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
No, No, I kept it quiet.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
She wouldn't know to this day if you told.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Well, I mean maybe she would maybe maybe picked up
a little, maybe she heard me grumpy in the laundry
room or something.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, because you know what, that is the one that
has the potential, not that it can't be discussed, but
you know, it is just folding clothes at the end
of the day, right, That's just better than the alternative,
which is still in a basket or crumpled in a pile.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Awful.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
That's awful, or you live.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Alone folding your way, which is what I do now.
But anyway, by the time I got to spouse number three,
it was a different way than spouse number two. I
had already settled in and it's like, oh, here's another
way I got to learn.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Did you say anything to spouse?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Not?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I just adapted and started folding things that way. Oh
so I guess I don't really understand. You know what,
is there an improper way to fold clothes?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Well, dedn't you ask? No, it's it's however you were taught.
Is what you're comfortable with. Yeah, and that's that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I don't think there's any wrong way as long as
you're folding them and putting them away.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, I mean I always fold it where you know,
sleep t shirts, sleeves go inside and you fold them
in half.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, some of these people, would you know, fold them
in half down the middle, so you get to sleeze
on the.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Same side and you fell underwear, same thing. Minder wears
not folding correct.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
But you know what again, you can do your own
underwear now, can't Yes? I can welcome to.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
It text or call us eight seven seven three one
zero four M s. J.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You can join us a lot of ways on Instagram, Facebook,
even YouTube. And we're getting to some of your comments now.
This is from Leslie. Hi guys, Hi, Hi love your show.
You were talking about tipping Uber and Lyft drivers the
question do their tips get taxed as servers do, and
should you tip them with cash instead of on the app?
(11:20):
Thanks have a great day.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's a really good question. But if you go through
the app, they're going to be taxed because they get
text on whatever it is collected, it's an income they get.
The Uber drivers are ten ninety nine, right, so they'll
do that. The cash is a good question because I mean,
I assume they're supposed to report that. But but you know,
if to answer Leslie's question directly, if you want them
(11:44):
to get one hundred percent of the tip, then I
guess it would be cash.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's the trick.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
But it's really difficult, I mean, especially Uber driving, Like
when we travel, it's not like I'm carrying a lot
of cash with me. I tend to want to use
the app tip and.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
It's a it's a business that we use with the app.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Some Uber drivers probably don't want to carry a whole
lot of cash too, for safety, you know what I mean.
Thank you, Leslie.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
This came in from Nora about our after the show
podcast on homemade Pimeno cheese, which it's our was it
two days ago? Or After the Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
It's how my grandma grandmother made it, very specific, getting
down and dirty with a really good homemade recipe. It's
there and it's on our website too. Nora said, just
finished listening to the after the Show podcast, and here's
the question. When people make pimeno cheese with cream cheese,
do they use it instead of the mayo? I might
like pimeno cheese made with cream cheese instead of mayo.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I hate mannas, thank you, Nora. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
The answer to that question is mayonnaise is still the
binding thing, and.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I would give it some flavor, It would give it.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
We give it some binding. But it's just one of
the cheeses that some people put in it. It's not
the traditional way to make it. Yeah, you know, it's
not traditional.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Cream cheese and cheese together is still cheese. It probably
wouldn't smooth enough to spread, right, You can use that.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Use the whipp kind, Yeah, the weib kind. I'm gonna
shout out to that.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You know. Sometimes you mean that might be enough. Otherwise
it could become too wet too fast.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
You should.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
That?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, too much mayo?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
You ever have that?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I mean it you make a tuna salad or chicken salad.
All it takes is one dollar too mini, and you've
got to.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Add more meat.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's all a balancing game, Nora.
I don't think it means as a substitution, but of
course you can try and recommended.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I would recommend whipped.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Eight seven seven three one zero four ms J to
jump in anytime.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Hi Michael, Hey, now, hey, what's up?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
He's calling about your uh, your Uber shake your head
earlier lift and all that. Yes, I was an Uber
driver in Nashville. Uh huh for say twenty sixteen, twenty eighteen.
I kept getting all these notices that I was one
of the top drivers, the best commented on and everything,
(14:05):
but specifically with tips. I never expected tips, but they
were rolling in. I would make a bank. The riders
would tell me that they loved how clean my car was,
how my car smelled, and I went to great links
to make it that way. And I always had like
the eighties music just playing softly to engage them in conversation.
(14:29):
I was being nice, but yeah, I was making the bank.
And they would tell me about other Uber rides that
they had done and what a nightmare. It was how
the car smelled, or the people just weren't engaging them
in conversation. Sure, and I believe it's all in the driver.
I believe it's all in how you present yourself and
how you, you know, give them their rides.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Listen to you. You're thinking of things that I would
think of too.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
The way it smells, the way it feels, is it hot,
is it cold, is the person nice?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
All of that? Is it the ride jerky? Is it smooth?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I mean, it seems like a lot, but it does
matter when you get out of the ride, when it's
time for you to leave a review or even a tip.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Have you experienced your car as a rider, not just
a driver.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
And then, like I said, I went to great lengths
like I would make sure I thought like a fog
or you can buy for your car where you get
out of the car, you set your conditioner on high
and all that, and it makes the whole car.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
So great cool.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I'm gonna look that up.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
You know, Nashville, you get all kinds of singer songwriters
and you learn a little bit about what actually goes on.
They actually have houses full of people that they pay
just to write songs.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You know, of course, that town is made of money,
which comes from lyrics, right right.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Love, Nashville Love. That I only moved away because I
got married, the only reason really, Otherwise I'd be up
there still making that bank.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Money is to be made, of course, of course, especially
when you do the kind of customer service that you offered.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I'm thank you for the call.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
There is a certain situation where you are more likely
to experience love at first sight, and I want to
talk about it.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Is it a situation or a location.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's a situation, well, you had a locale in mind.
I'm just wondering, do you believe in love at first sight?
That's a good question, that's the question. I don't know
if it's a site, you know, its spark sight. It's
a real thing that people who have who feel like
they fell in love at first sight will tell you
(16:39):
they believe in But if you've never experienced anything like that,
then of course you can't say you believe in it.
There are people who want to believe in it. I
knew Murphy for years before there was a spark and
vice versa.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, that's true. It was not first sight. It wasn't.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Okay, This is a completely different thing.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
This is not about people to people, but it's show
that dog owners felt an instant connection with their dog.
Love at first sight, when when you meet your dog,
find your rescue, whatever it is, it's a ninety percent thing,
which is high in the percentage world. Like you knew
this was your dog right away and you felt something
(17:19):
a spark if you will.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Isn't that lovely?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Now?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Other pet owners report it took us a time. It
took us time to build the bond. But aren't you
always looking for that.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
When you go to a shelter and you're looking at
all the dogs.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Would be nice to be able to look and go
that's the one.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
You never had that experience.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
No, No, I would say, hey, Murphy, you know where
I'm about to go?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Here, Champ my favorite dog. Ever.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I would say it was love at first night, really,
and that didn't mean for it to rhyme. We had
him for one the first night, the first twenty four
hour period that we had him.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
He was supposed to be a foster dog.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
You remember that, Yeah, And you were like, oh, he'll
be adopted out easily. He's great, And I'm like, yeah,
he's great. In fact, I don't want to foster him.
I want to adopt him.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
What was it his soul?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
He just is a person.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
It is difficult to describe. He actually does kind of
feel like a person inside. I don't know how to
explain it. Sam, He's different than any dog that we've had.
At first, I'm not just falling for JODI's.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
This is called research, not robanda.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Anytime in your life, if you've ever needed to go
talk to someone, if you feel like you just are
hitting a wall, you know, having mental health problems or issues,
I want to tell you a little story. Our oldest
tailor's living with us now. She's taking a gap year.
She has her degree, her bachelor's in psychology, and what
(18:51):
she really wants to do with her life is become
a mental health professional, a counselor. She wants to be
a therapist. And I've always said, is it a counselor
or a therapist? She goes, it's like the same thing, Mom.
But we were sitting on the sofa the other day
in the family room, just talking about life and just
talking about things, and we ended up about, you know,
her career path, and she said something that just I
(19:14):
was like Taylor.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
That is so that's a profound thing to say.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
She said, I think it's so important for all people,
you know, no matter where they come from in life,
where they are, if they've struggled, if they've never struggled,
it's important for all people to have a safe space
and a safe place where they can go and talk
to someone.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Without judgment. And it's not family or friends.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
She said that that's exactly what therapy is, and that's
why I love it, is why I want to do it.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
And I was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
My gosh, it's like you're gonna be doing the right thing.
You know, She's gonna be doing the right thing. And
it was just such a beautiful thing for her to say,
you know, because it is such a basic, stripped down
way of looking at that it.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Comes from a natural place for her too, which is,
you know, when she's talked about being nervous about the
applications or the papers that she needs to submit and
all that. You know, one thing I've been saying is, look,
it comes from a real place. Just left that flow,
you know what I mean. You don't need to if
it's very real and genuine, go with it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
A couple of other things that are interesting about that
conversation was sidebar to that conversation. We were still sitting
there on the sofa, like facing each other, laying like
my feet were near her and her you know, head
and her feet were in her mind.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It was cute.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
She said, It's okay, I do love talking to family
and friends, but that's not who you bring a real
sure right to. It's like, you know, it's okay to
talk to your family and friends, but at some point
you might need a professional person who is not involved
in your life.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Jenny suggested that since that came so naturally to Taylor,
that she put that in, you know, the little mission
statement that she's got to put together for each university application.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
For her master's the safe space comment. And I believe
she was writing it last night and she read it
to us. It's in there, just a cool way of
looking at it. If you need to talk to someone,
it's there's no heavy stigma. It's a safe space, a
safe place.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Join us eight seven seven three one zero four msj Hi, Lisa, Hey.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
So, after listening to the story about the raccoon, I
thought you might like a little story about apossum.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Oh okay, Yes, but please don't hurt my heart. Go ahead.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
This should actually be pretty funny. I think the guys
would definitely find it amusing. After taking my children to school, unfortunately,
I see, you know, roadkill on the side of the road,
and it was a big ol'possum.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
So after the day goes.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Buy them on my way back to go pick up
my girls, and after I get them in the car,
we're driving down the road again and the poor possum's
still there. However, there is a big ol'd balloon that says,
get well soon.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Oh, this is a trend, this is a.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
And then a couple of days later after that it
said we're sorry for your loss, said We're.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Sorry nobody had moved this poor baby.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
Yes, no, unfortunately, but you know, the thought was there,
I guess.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Lisa, I'm curious, did your kids say anything.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Like, oh, oh, my oldest daughter, who's twelve, now, she
saw that and she's like, well, that's wishful face, It
is wishful.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Think I can tell you that one of my children,
I won't say which one, but at a younger age
twelve or even younger, would have cried seeing that.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
You know, everyone's different.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Very much, so but I just thought it wouldn't make
you laugh a little bit, or in your case, maybe
feel a little sad.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I'm sorry, it does happen. It's just the balloon thing, right.
Thank you, Lisa, You're welcome. Have a great day, guys,
Thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Bye.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Does it matter what kind of animal do you?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yes, if it's a domestic cat or dog, I mean horrible,
is not appropriate? Is that was somebody's pet?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
But you know what's weird about it is I mean
an animal is an animal, right, I mean it should
be the same if it's a possum.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
If it's just it's a dog or a cat. You know,
it's a fan.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
A raccoon and apossum are not necessarily family members depending.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
On Come on, that's hilarious, I don't think so. What
does too much true crime do to your brain?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Make you're a detective?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well, it's maybe one thing.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I think Jody's a living example of what it does
to your brain.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Oh do you think I'm different lately?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
No, you're you've been obsessed by it.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I've been watching quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's addictive, that's what I think it does to the brain.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
It does. I'm seeking that I have down time.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Are you suspicious of everybody in the house.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Now, not everybody in the house, but just the dogs.
Not true.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I did watch another one the other day, so I
think I've like six in a row, five or six
in a row. And that was American Nightmare Emergency.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
My girlfriend me got kidden up last night.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, this is about the girl who gots kidnapped and
she's gone for like forty eight hours or longer, and
then her boy and and nobody believes them, nobody leaves
the boyfriend. It seemed very sketchy.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
She went with a weird sound though, why does he
sound so funny? Well, is that electronic?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
It's electronic, But I think it's because he had been drugged.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Every time they play there was ninety one one calls.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
They sound extra scary.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, that was actually I'm laughing, but that's a sad
That was a sad story because she actually was. I
shouldn't give it away. But nobody believed them. Nobody believed them.
That was an unbelievable one to watch, and it surprised
me what happened.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Anyway, we're not providing spoilers for something that actually happened
in your life.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
She was actually well, I'm not gonna spoil.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
It for you. Okay, So what does true crime really
do to your brain?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Look, be grateful football is here, Murphy, because I'm going
to take a break from true crime.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I think, I promise, I think.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Until the referees rob somebody or something.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
What it really does to you.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
It can be good in ways that it heightens your
sense of your personal safety.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
And you know, I walk in the neighborhood alone.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I think it helps you, makes you more aware of
your surroundings. It does see some of the things that
happen to these people that they weren't aware of, right.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Okay, Yeah, However, if it gets in too much and
your imagination runs wild with you, like when I came
home from the walk the other night and that car
was passing twice, you remember, and I said, look, mar
look at that car.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And he was just trying to find the neighbor's house.
But he made me harmous.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Everything looked pronic except for the hatchet sticking under the house.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Just know that it gets in and it can mess
up your sleep, It can mess up It can cause
you some issues, some anxiety, anxiety, So be careful with
yourself with what you let in if you're thinking about
working with your spouse. You know, I've always said, hey,
you know, it's not for everyone.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I don't even know what kind of idiot we do that.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Well, No, I mean a lot of people want to
do it and think that it would work, and we
have a lot of experience with it.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, Jody and I have been able to tolerate each
other right for twenty five years now.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
But I want to say this, No, it's not for everyone,
but there are benefits, little everyday funny benefits. And I
have to tell you the little story. Murphy brought me
a little baggy today with my earrings in it.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Do you hear me call him earlier?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
When Sam arrives first, then I arrive, then Producer Faith,
then Murphy.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
That's how it goes.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
So Murphy's at home a little bit longer than I
am every morning, and if I ever forget anything, which
is rare, but yeah, so I was able to call
say hey, not important.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
But if each of those conversations always starts by the
way Sam, I know she needs me to bring something
when it starts.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
With hey, this is important, Hey good looking? Yeah, I
don't feel right without earrings.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I just really wanted them, and I went on the
way here, I realized I didn't have them in let
me ask Murphy. So I really resigned myself to the
fact that you might forget because it's not important, and
you have a lot of important things going on.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
So glad you have that kind of faith in me.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, I know it's not important, and so I assumed
that I would just not have them today, Sam, he
brought them to me. I said, look, there's a little
tray in the kitchen with a bunch of my jewelry.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Just pick a pair of you get to pick. There's
three or four pairs.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I was going to say, can I tell you how
nervous that made me?
Speaker 3 (27:44):
You brought some fathes.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
But wait, he put them in a little bag, the
extra care given to put them in a ziplock.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
And tell Sam what you told me, Well, I.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Put air in the bag so that they wouldn't get
damage in transport.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
That's so fantastic. That is the touch of someone who's considerate.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Well, yeah, I've never.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Even thought to transport errings that way.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I appreciate you saying. It was really the fear of
the penalty of death. I screwed those up.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
No I'm really surprised you only brought one pair. I
have thrown them all in there and said I brought
them all.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
That's a really good point.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
You picked a favorite pair.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Thank you for that, and a classic hoop with a
little extra jes You know.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Have you ever thought of keeping a pair here?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I have thought of it, and I've done it. But
the problem is I didn't have to call him that day.
I put them in wore them home.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, yeah, right, So could you work with your spouse?
You know, Jody and I get that question all the
time because we are married and we do that married.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
The question I get actually is how do you do that?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well? Yeah, And earlier in the show, Jody was talking
about the you know, the benefits of the benefits of
being a little bit behind her when I leave the
house is if she forgets something, I bring it. Okay,
I mean that's sort of a small personal, you know,
personal perk, but it made me think about the things
you know to do and not do if you are
in that position or put in that position so that
(29:07):
it is successful. And two big ones that Jody and I,
you know, do we put a huge dividing line between
personal and professionalis work as you know. Sam. For example,
there was a meeting yesterday. Jody didn't want to sit
anywhere near me.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Well that the open chair was next to you, And
somebody said he was just sitting next to Murphy, and
I'm like, Nope, that would look wrong and weird.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Right, And I respect that. You know, in the corporate
world they call that optics.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Oh do they?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah? Right, those are the optics. You don't want any
negative optics in a meeting.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Well, guess what, right, it's a professional setting. And all
of a sudden, I would have made it personal.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yes, and we've done that's not correct, and so we've
always done that, and obviously neither of us take it personal.
In fact, that's the way both of us wanted to be.
Whatever you do, stay from meeting. And then you know,
just a minute ago, trying to slide through the room here,
Jody didn't really she was standing too close. She was
kind of blocking the walkway to where I sit over here,
and I just I should have probably just but I
(30:08):
did that. I shouldn't have done that, right to just
kind of because I didn't want to just like push
you out of the way.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
He put his hands on my waist, to get past me,
and I said.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Whoa, what are you doing right?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And that's so, that's how big. That's a no no
And I know so I.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Called me baby cople months ago at work ran here,
uh yeah, out in the common area. He was sandwich
for lunch and I was walking out and you go, oh, thanks, babe,
And I was like, whoa, it's all right.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
He does it all the time.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah. I call sand babe too.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's so sweet.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah,
This is the Murphy Samon Jody Weekend Replay podcast, picking
out some of our favorite moments from this past week,
and it starts, now, what are.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The qualities that you look for in a true friend?
We're going to get to the top few. There's like
three or so that are really universal, but you don't
really know to look for them unless it's pointed out.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, I mean, what are yours? You've got some really
play friendships.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I do have some really lifelong, solid friendships that I well.
Number one, friendship is a choice. It's beautiful because it's
a choice you're choosing to make this person important to you,
and that's one thing that's so beautiful about it. But
for me, it's someone that I'm safe with and I
mean emotionally like someone that you know you can just
(00:46):
say anything to and it's.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Not you know, you're safe.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I think that's one thing that young people look for.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
They're looking, you know, a young person who attaches to
a friend at school. You just want someone that you
are safe being who you are with.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, and I think that's that makes up two things
make that up. Trustworthiness is one of them, and uh,
a non judgmental you know, being being unconditional basically.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Right, right you? Sam? Do you have anything you look
for in a friendship? I know this is not your jam.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Let's say, let's ask Murphy.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Okay, well Sam's uncomfortable that question.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah. The two things that I just said I think
would be the same for me too. It's really it's
it really is that you know that you're completely in
sync with you. There's never another agenda. If you disagree,
you just that's all that you know. It's important.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Everybody's not meant to be friends either. You can't spark
with everybody, and you're not supposed to have six hundred friends.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, my mom always used to say that. I remember
being bummed, you know, in school when I really just
didn't feel I was, you know, six hundred friends, always
jealous with the you know, of the in crowd and
all that sort of thing, and then realized, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, top three things. Best qualities and a real friend.
Someone who respects your boundaries. If you can't don't want
to talk about something or do something and they don't
respect that, that's a red flag. So your boundaries are
yours and you are right to have those. Someone who
(02:11):
is still around during your tough times, who doesn't sort
of abandon you during getting a name in from Sam
over there.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, I mean somebody that's seen you at your worst.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, and they're still still your friend. Yeah. That's a
big one. And then the other one, this is a
big one.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Someone who celebrates your successes with you. Yeah, like really
is genuinely happy when good things happen to you, and
they don't if they do feel jealousy, they don't. You
don't feel that or I've heard that once a long
time ago. If someone is jealous of you, they're not
really your friend. So someone who celebrates your success is
(02:47):
one thing that you're looking for.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Those are the top three. Good luck.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
This keeps coming up because of baby named consultants and
us learning that they exist, and Sam shaking his head
about it. Would never even give somebody five but help
with a name suggestion.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Sam thinks it's a questionable investment.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Has a lot of money to pay somebody for something
you can do on your own, sure, and if you
if you're stumped, there's always Google, and I believe that's free.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Here's what I was saying is that I was lovely.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I loved thinking of baby names, but I was lucky
that Murphy and I always agreed. We agreed on Taylor,
we agreed on Phoebe yeah, yes, check Chack and.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And the boys boys names we knew were.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
To Okay, So, Sam, your children, your ex wives, ex girlfriends,
did you ever have a disagreement about names?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Do you remember?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
No, we never did. That's wonderful, Sammy, and well, we
knew there was a reason for both of them, Jackson.
It was either Jack or Max. Okay, yeah, and we
were both cool with that, and we decided to go
with Jack.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's good. So there were other issues then, thy.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay, I.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Names not all the reps to this?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
And what about Maddie and Parker the twins?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Goodness you were I was not involved in that.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
And those are good names though, yeah, I remember being
told those were going to be those kids' names.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Now, the questions why were you not involved?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
You don't have to answer why you weren't involved.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Some things are meant to be enshrouded in mystery.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Those are some good names. Do you love them? Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, they're great names.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
They are good.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I like the short versions of Maddie. It's Madeline, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, it's just funny because I.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Don't know the story behind those names, but I am sure.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
There are couples who have, okay, who have disagreed about
what the name is and then somebody wins that battle
because a name goes on a birth certificate. And then
is it something that bothers you forever? Do you eventually
accept it because it's your child?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
You know?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
If that is you, If you've ever been in that boat,
I want to know about it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I mean, I would hope somebody doesn't hold a grudge
long term, because you're not going to have that conversation.
I'm not sud Well. You know, if it were up
to me, you wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Be called I'm not saying grudge.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh is your mama's fault?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Not saying grudge, But sometimes people remember things like.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
That are the arguments that went with them?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You're right, okay?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So eight seven seven three to one zero four MSJ.
To let us know if you've ever been in that spot.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Texter, call us eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Lots of ways to jump in and the email's just
burning up today. So guys, this is from Bobby. Bobby
with an.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Eye Okay, Hi, Bobby heard.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The story Jody about your walk and the raccoon. You guys,
remember what Bobby's talking about.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Oh, the raccoon with the napkins attached to his hands.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, it was a poor dead raccoon that someone had
moved out of the middle of the street with napkins
so that they wouldn't have to touch the hands, but
just put it on the side of the street and
then left. And the raccoon was up there with the
hands up and the napkins on the hands.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
For several days.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Where I walk, it was sad he's gone now, by
the way, I don't know what happened to the napkins
remained for a while.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, Sam was thinking that you walked back in a
dinner scene evolved or something like that.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Some other taxidermy related.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Bobby Synthus, I thought I would share a similar experience.
A raccoon was hit by a car at a turn
I take when coming home every day. It was during
winter and off the road, so it stayed there for
a long while. Eventually, someone tied a balloon to the
to the.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Tail what and the balloon read get well soon.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Really.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
A few days later someone ran over the balloon. A
couple of days later, the raccoon was removed. A shrine
was erected to the raccoon, fotive candles across and flowers
that was eventually removed. Months later, towards the end of summer,
(07:02):
a sign was erected that read gone but not forgotten,
with a picture of a raccoon beside it. Was another
sign that read Rocky the raccoon. Oh, Bobby, bless you
for sharing that with us.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
See, that's a perfect example of why the city wants
to get out there and clean something up quickly versus
it for a while.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I have to plot all of that, that's all all
of its genius.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And you think it's hysterical.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I know I could have been.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
That could have been driven all of that, Bobby, by
a child who was so sad to see your their
first ever you know.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Root kill. You just never know that couldn't have been
a mom or a dad going, you know what, let's
help you know little Johnny through this bye saying goodbye.
I know that you think it Wilson with the balloon
is hysterical, but.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Thank you, Bobby.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, jump in anytime eight seven seven three one zero
for MSJ.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I think you're gonna find this one hard to believe.
But you know, we were talking recently about the arguments
that you and Murphy have, Jody, the dumb marriage arguments.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, that was on Every Spouse Had, That was enter
after the show podcast one day last week.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, and you've shared a lot of yours. We loved him.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah right. It's really funny on our Facebook and Instagram,
so many different shares from different couples.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That one of my favorite dumb arguments that somebody got
into was whether to open presents on Christmas Eve or
Christmas Morning.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Apparently it was a bad argument.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
And then the one you know about the cup of
coffee being filled half full.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, the husband who likes his coffee half full and
if it's higher than that, he's not happy.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But you know what, every couple is different, everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, welcome to marriage people.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
I don't know how to defend that. One. One thing
I was thinking of is the one thing that I
never argued with any of my spouses. By three spouses, Okay, Sam,
it was over the folding of clothes.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm so impressed.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, okay, first marriage, I kind of did most of
the laundry so there was no one to argue with.
But second one, It's like when she started folding clothes,
it's like, this is not the way we fold close.
I didn't say it, I just thought it. Yeah, And
then I realized, you know, everybody's got a different way
of folding clothes. Yes, my way of folding was the
way I was brought up seeing it folded. Hers was
(09:26):
the same. So that was one of those ones where
it's like, this doesn't really matter.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Did she know that you were biting your tongue?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
No, No, I kept it quiet.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
She wouldn't know to this day if you told.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Well, I mean maybe she would maybe maybe picked up
a little, maybe she heard me grumpy in the laundry
room or something.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, because you know what, that is the one that
has the potential, not that it can't be discussed, but
you know, it is just folding clothes at the end
of the day, right, That's just better than the alternative,
which is still in a basket or crumpled in a pile.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Awful.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
That's awful, or you live.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Alone folding your way, which is what I do now.
But anyway, by the time I got to spouse number three,
it was a different way than spouse number two. I
had already settled in and it's like, oh, here's another
way I got to learn.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Did you say anything to spouse?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Not?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I just adapted and started folding things that way. Oh
so I guess I don't really understand. You know what,
is there an improper way to fold clothes?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Well, dedn't you ask? No, it's it's however you were taught.
Is what you're comfortable with. Yeah, and that's that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I don't think there's any wrong way as long as
you're folding them and putting them away.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, I mean I always fold it where you know,
sleep t shirts, sleeves go inside and you fold them
in half.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, some of these people, would you know, fold them
in half down the middle, so you get to sleeze
on the.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Same side and you fell underwear, same thing. Minder wears
not folding correct.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
But you know what again, you can do your own
underwear now, can't Yes? I can welcome to.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
It text or call us eight seven seven three one
zero four M s. J.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You can join us a lot of ways on Instagram, Facebook,
even YouTube. And we're getting to some of your comments now.
This is from Leslie. Hi guys, Hi, Hi love your show.
You were talking about tipping Uber and Lyft drivers the
question do their tips get taxed as servers do, and
should you tip them with cash instead of on the app?
(11:20):
Thanks have a great day.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's a really good question. But if you go through
the app, they're going to be taxed because they get
text on whatever it is collected, it's an income they get.
The Uber drivers are ten ninety nine, right, so they'll
do that. The cash is a good question because I mean,
I assume they're supposed to report that. But but you know,
if to answer Leslie's question directly, if you want them
(11:44):
to get one hundred percent of the tip, then I
guess it would be cash.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's the trick.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
But it's really difficult, I mean, especially Uber driving, Like
when we travel, it's not like I'm carrying a lot
of cash with me. I tend to want to use
the app tip and.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
It's a it's a business that we use with the app.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Some Uber drivers probably don't want to carry a whole
lot of cash too, for safety, you know what I mean.
Thank you, Leslie.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
This came in from Nora about our after the show
podcast on homemade Pimeno cheese, which it's our was it
two days ago? Or After the Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
It's how my grandma grandmother made it, very specific, getting
down and dirty with a really good homemade recipe. It's
there and it's on our website too. Nora said, just
finished listening to the after the Show podcast, and here's
the question. When people make pimeno cheese with cream cheese,
do they use it instead of the mayo? I might
like pimeno cheese made with cream cheese instead of mayo.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I hate mannas, thank you, Nora. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
The answer to that question is mayonnaise is still the
binding thing, and.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I would give it some flavor, It would give it.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
We give it some binding. But it's just one of
the cheeses that some people put in it. It's not
the traditional way to make it. Yeah, you know, it's
not traditional.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Cream cheese and cheese together is still cheese. It probably
wouldn't smooth enough to spread, right, You can use that.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Use the whipp kind, Yeah, the weib kind. I'm gonna
shout out to that.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You know. Sometimes you mean that might be enough. Otherwise
it could become too wet too fast.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
You should.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
That?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, too much mayo?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
You ever have that?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I mean it you make a tuna salad or chicken salad.
All it takes is one dollar too mini, and you've
got to.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Add more meat.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's all a balancing game, Nora.
I don't think it means as a substitution, but of
course you can try and recommended.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I would recommend whipped.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Eight seven seven three one zero four ms J to
jump in anytime.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Hi Michael, Hey, now, hey, what's up?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
He's calling about your uh, your Uber shake your head
earlier lift and all that. Yes, I was an Uber
driver in Nashville. Uh huh for say twenty sixteen, twenty eighteen.
I kept getting all these notices that I was one
of the top drivers, the best commented on and everything,
(14:05):
but specifically with tips. I never expected tips, but they
were rolling in. I would make a bank. The riders
would tell me that they loved how clean my car was,
how my car smelled, and I went to great links
to make it that way. And I always had like
the eighties music just playing softly to engage them in conversation.
(14:29):
I was being nice, but yeah, I was making the bank.
And they would tell me about other Uber rides that
they had done and what a nightmare. It was how
the car smelled, or the people just weren't engaging them
in conversation. Sure, and I believe it's all in the driver.
I believe it's all in how you present yourself and
how you, you know, give them their rides.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Listen to you. You're thinking of things that I would
think of too.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
The way it smells, the way it feels, is it hot,
is it cold, is the person nice?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
All of that? Is it the ride jerky? Is it smooth?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I mean, it seems like a lot, but it does
matter when you get out of the ride, when it's
time for you to leave a review or even a tip.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Have you experienced your car as a rider, not just
a driver.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
And then, like I said, I went to great lengths
like I would make sure I thought like a fog
or you can buy for your car where you get
out of the car, you set your conditioner on high
and all that, and it makes the whole car.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
So great cool.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I'm gonna look that up.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
You know, Nashville, you get all kinds of singer songwriters
and you learn a little bit about what actually goes on.
They actually have houses full of people that they pay
just to write songs.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You know, of course, that town is made of money,
which comes from lyrics, right right.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Love, Nashville Love. That I only moved away because I
got married, the only reason really, Otherwise I'd be up
there still making that bank.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Money is to be made, of course, of course, especially
when you do the kind of customer service that you offered.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I'm thank you for the call.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
There is a certain situation where you are more likely
to experience love at first sight, and I want to
talk about it.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Is it a situation or a location.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's a situation, well, you had a locale in mind.
I'm just wondering, do you believe in love at first sight?
That's a good question, that's the question. I don't know
if it's a site, you know, its spark sight. It's
a real thing that people who have who feel like
they fell in love at first sight will tell you
(16:39):
they believe in But if you've never experienced anything like that,
then of course you can't say you believe in it.
There are people who want to believe in it. I
knew Murphy for years before there was a spark and
vice versa.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, that's true. It was not first sight. It wasn't.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Okay, This is a completely different thing.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
This is not about people to people, but it's show
that dog owners felt an instant connection with their dog.
Love at first sight, when when you meet your dog,
find your rescue, whatever it is, it's a ninety percent thing,
which is high in the percentage world. Like you knew
this was your dog right away and you felt something
(17:19):
a spark if you will.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Isn't that lovely?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Now?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Other pet owners report it took us a time. It
took us time to build the bond. But aren't you
always looking for that.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
When you go to a shelter and you're looking at
all the dogs.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Would be nice to be able to look and go
that's the one.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
You never had that experience.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
No, No, I would say, hey, Murphy, you know where
I'm about to go?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Here, Champ my favorite dog. Ever.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I would say it was love at first night, really,
and that didn't mean for it to rhyme. We had
him for one the first night, the first twenty four
hour period that we had him.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
He was supposed to be a foster dog.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
You remember that, Yeah, And you were like, oh, he'll
be adopted out easily. He's great, And I'm like, yeah,
he's great. In fact, I don't want to foster him.
I want to adopt him.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
What was it his soul?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
He just is a person.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
It is difficult to describe. He actually does kind of
feel like a person inside. I don't know how to
explain it. Sam, He's different than any dog that we've had.
At first, I'm not just falling for JODI's.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
This is called research, not robanda.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Anytime in your life, if you've ever needed to go
talk to someone, if you feel like you just are
hitting a wall, you know, having mental health problems or issues,
I want to tell you a little story. Our oldest
tailor's living with us now. She's taking a gap year.
She has her degree, her bachelor's in psychology, and what
(18:51):
she really wants to do with her life is become
a mental health professional, a counselor. She wants to be
a therapist. And I've always said, is it a counselor
or a therapist? She goes, it's like the same thing, Mom.
But we were sitting on the sofa the other day
in the family room, just talking about life and just
talking about things, and we ended up about, you know,
her career path, and she said something that just I
(19:14):
was like Taylor.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
That is so that's a profound thing to say.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
She said, I think it's so important for all people,
you know, no matter where they come from in life,
where they are, if they've struggled, if they've never struggled,
it's important for all people to have a safe space
and a safe place where they can go and talk
to someone.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Without judgment. And it's not family or friends.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
She said that that's exactly what therapy is, and that's
why I love it, is why I want to do it.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
And I was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
My gosh, it's like you're gonna be doing the right thing.
You know, She's gonna be doing the right thing. And
it was just such a beautiful thing for her to say,
you know, because it is such a basic, stripped down
way of looking at that it.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Comes from a natural place for her too, which is,
you know, when she's talked about being nervous about the
applications or the papers that she needs to submit and
all that. You know, one thing I've been saying is, look,
it comes from a real place. Just left that flow,
you know what I mean. You don't need to if
it's very real and genuine, go with it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
A couple of other things that are interesting about that
conversation was sidebar to that conversation. We were still sitting
there on the sofa, like facing each other, laying like
my feet were near her and her you know, head
and her feet were in her mind.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It was cute.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
She said, It's okay, I do love talking to family
and friends, but that's not who you bring a real
sure right to. It's like, you know, it's okay to
talk to your family and friends, but at some point
you might need a professional person who is not involved
in your life.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Jenny suggested that since that came so naturally to Taylor,
that she put that in, you know, the little mission
statement that she's got to put together for each university application.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
For her master's the safe space comment. And I believe
she was writing it last night and she read it
to us. It's in there, just a cool way of
looking at it. If you need to talk to someone,
it's there's no heavy stigma. It's a safe space, a
safe place.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Join us eight seven seven three one zero four msj Hi, Lisa, Hey.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
So, after listening to the story about the raccoon, I
thought you might like a little story about apossum.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Oh okay, Yes, but please don't hurt my heart. Go ahead.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
This should actually be pretty funny. I think the guys
would definitely find it amusing. After taking my children to school, unfortunately,
I see, you know, roadkill on the side of the road,
and it was a big ol'possum.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
So after the day goes.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Buy them on my way back to go pick up
my girls, and after I get them in the car,
we're driving down the road again and the poor possum's
still there. However, there is a big ol'd balloon that says,
get well soon.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Oh, this is a trend, this is a.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
And then a couple of days later after that it
said we're sorry for your loss, said We're.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Sorry nobody had moved this poor baby.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
Yes, no, unfortunately, but you know, the thought was there,
I guess.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Lisa, I'm curious, did your kids say anything.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Like, oh, oh, my oldest daughter, who's twelve, now, she
saw that and she's like, well, that's wishful face, It
is wishful.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Think I can tell you that one of my children,
I won't say which one, but at a younger age
twelve or even younger, would have cried seeing that.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
You know, everyone's different.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Very much, so but I just thought it wouldn't make
you laugh a little bit, or in your case, maybe
feel a little sad.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I'm sorry, it does happen. It's just the balloon thing, right.
Thank you, Lisa, You're welcome. Have a great day, guys,
Thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Bye.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Does it matter what kind of animal do you?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yes, if it's a domestic cat or dog, I mean horrible,
is not appropriate? Is that was somebody's pet?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
But you know what's weird about it is I mean
an animal is an animal, right, I mean it should
be the same if it's a possum.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
If it's just it's a dog or a cat. You know,
it's a fan.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
A raccoon and apossum are not necessarily family members depending.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
On Come on, that's hilarious, I don't think so. What
does too much true crime do to your brain?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Make you're a detective?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well, it's maybe one thing.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I think Jody's a living example of what it does
to your brain.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Oh do you think I'm different lately?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
No, you're you've been obsessed by it.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I've been watching quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's addictive, that's what I think it does to the brain.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
It does. I'm seeking that I have down time.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Are you suspicious of everybody in the house.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Now, not everybody in the house, but just the dogs.
Not true.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I did watch another one the other day, so I
think I've like six in a row, five or six
in a row. And that was American Nightmare Emergency.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
My girlfriend me got kidden up last night.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, this is about the girl who gots kidnapped and
she's gone for like forty eight hours or longer, and
then her boy and and nobody believes them, nobody leaves
the boyfriend. It seemed very sketchy.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
She went with a weird sound though, why does he
sound so funny? Well, is that electronic?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
It's electronic, But I think it's because he had been drugged.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Every time they play there was ninety one one calls.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
They sound extra scary.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, that was actually I'm laughing, but that's a sad
That was a sad story because she actually was. I
shouldn't give it away. But nobody believed them. Nobody believed them.
That was an unbelievable one to watch, and it surprised
me what happened.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Anyway, we're not providing spoilers for something that actually happened
in your life.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
She was actually well, I'm not gonna spoil.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
It for you. Okay, So what does true crime really
do to your brain?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Look, be grateful football is here, Murphy, because I'm going
to take a break from true crime.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I think, I promise, I think.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Until the referees rob somebody or something.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
What it really does to you.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
It can be good in ways that it heightens your
sense of your personal safety.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
And you know, I walk in the neighborhood alone.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I think it helps you, makes you more aware of
your surroundings. It does see some of the things that
happen to these people that they weren't aware of, right.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Okay, Yeah, However, if it gets in too much and
your imagination runs wild with you, like when I came
home from the walk the other night and that car
was passing twice, you remember, and I said, look, mar
look at that car.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And he was just trying to find the neighbor's house.
But he made me harmous.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Everything looked pronic except for the hatchet sticking under the house.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Just know that it gets in and it can mess
up your sleep, It can mess up It can cause
you some issues, some anxiety, anxiety, So be careful with
yourself with what you let in if you're thinking about
working with your spouse. You know, I've always said, hey,
you know, it's not for everyone.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I don't even know what kind of idiot we do that.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Well, No, I mean a lot of people want to
do it and think that it would work, and we
have a lot of experience with it.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, Jody and I have been able to tolerate each
other right for twenty five years now.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
But I want to say this, No, it's not for everyone,
but there are benefits, little everyday funny benefits. And I
have to tell you the little story. Murphy brought me
a little baggy today with my earrings in it.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Do you hear me call him earlier?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
When Sam arrives first, then I arrive, then Producer Faith,
then Murphy.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
That's how it goes.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
So Murphy's at home a little bit longer than I
am every morning, and if I ever forget anything, which
is rare, but yeah, so I was able to call
say hey, not important.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
But if each of those conversations always starts by the
way Sam, I know she needs me to bring something
when it starts.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
With hey, this is important, Hey good looking? Yeah, I
don't feel right without earrings.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I just really wanted them, and I went on the
way here, I realized I didn't have them in let
me ask Murphy. So I really resigned myself to the
fact that you might forget because it's not important, and
you have a lot of important things going on.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
So glad you have that kind of faith in me.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, I know it's not important, and so I assumed
that I would just not have them today, Sam, he
brought them to me. I said, look, there's a little
tray in the kitchen with a bunch of my jewelry.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Just pick a pair of you get to pick. There's
three or four pairs.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I was going to say, can I tell you how
nervous that made me?
Speaker 3 (27:44):
You brought some fathes.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
But wait, he put them in a little bag, the
extra care given to put them in a ziplock.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
And tell Sam what you told me, Well, I.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Put air in the bag so that they wouldn't get
damage in transport.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
That's so fantastic. That is the touch of someone who's considerate.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Well, yeah, I've never.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Even thought to transport errings that way.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I appreciate you saying. It was really the fear of
the penalty of death. I screwed those up.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
No I'm really surprised you only brought one pair. I
have thrown them all in there and said I brought
them all.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
That's a really good point.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
You picked a favorite pair.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Thank you for that, and a classic hoop with a
little extra jes You know.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Have you ever thought of keeping a pair here?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I have thought of it, and I've done it. But
the problem is I didn't have to call him that day.
I put them in wore them home.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, yeah, right, So could you work with your spouse?
You know, Jody and I get that question all the
time because we are married and we do that married.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
The question I get actually is how do you do that?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well? Yeah, And earlier in the show, Jody was talking
about the you know, the benefits of the benefits of
being a little bit behind her when I leave the
house is if she forgets something, I bring it. Okay,
I mean that's sort of a small personal, you know,
personal perk, but it made me think about the things
you know to do and not do if you are
in that position or put in that position so that
(29:07):
it is successful. And two big ones that Jody and I,
you know, do we put a huge dividing line between
personal and professionalis work as you know. Sam. For example,
there was a meeting yesterday. Jody didn't want to sit
anywhere near me.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Well that the open chair was next to you, And
somebody said he was just sitting next to Murphy, and
I'm like, Nope, that would look wrong and weird.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Right, And I respect that. You know, in the corporate
world they call that optics.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Oh do they?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah? Right, those are the optics. You don't want any
negative optics in a meeting.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Well, guess what, right, it's a professional setting. And all
