This is the Murphy Saving Jody weekend replay podcast, picking
up some of our favorite moments from this past week.
And it starts now.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Taylor in the house A ray of sunshine and we
love it when you stop by, Baby girl, Hello, I'm
happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Taylor is Murphy and Jody's oldest daughter. Yes, not to
be with Phoebe, who is the youngest daughter.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's right. I always call you baby Tay when you
were a little.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
A I love that, and you call it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
She had a lot of She had tater tot, she
had a whole lot of nicknames, and Scooter.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Since we are lucky enough to have someone else from
the family here for why not get a little inside
info on what goes on with mom and Dad at
the home. Can you audition any dirt on them? We
heard recently that Dad likes to Murphy likes to explain jokes.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
He does like to explain the joke.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
When it doesn't land.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I guess, Dad, And how often does it not land?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I mean most of the time ends, most of the
time we laugh. One thing I want to point out
is that whenever my dad is about to make a joke.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I can always yeah, totally.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
There's an expression on his face, like when we're in
conversation where I'm like.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
He's about to it's that obvious. It's almost like you're
you're proud of yourself about what you're about to bring. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, well for him, it definitely shows. But I mean
I I usually don't say anything. I'm just like, okay,
I'm ready for it.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
You know, I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It is, but it's sort of like and when you
because both you and Phoebe now are you know, your
young adults, you're doing your own things, So when the
four of us are together, there's an energy that comes
back to me, the kind of you know, and so
I don't know, I tend to. I guess I get giddy.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
When they were little, that was yes, you you're the
you know, the leader of the family and you all this,
but you also were always the joke, especially at that time.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Does does mom does Jodie have any humor jokes?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I would say she has a little more like sarcastic
humor for sure about that. It's not like my dad
has a stick. My mom does not have a well,
I mean, she doesn't have like a stick about her.
She's just sarcastically funny.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Give us an example.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I think I think you were very physically comedic. A
lot of the things to do when we were kids.
One thing I can think about is used to it
when it was dinner time or something you would like
stomp in and then you would clang on a pot
and be like and then literally last night, this doesn't change.
Last night, my dad was walking with a giant box
(02:46):
and he was like, I'm gonna be a cartoon character
real quick. And he was like, whoa, whoa, very very
corny stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:57):

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Hello June, Hey, I listening to the series about the
not getting your personal one. Yes, and this also works
for the beach.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
And it's kind of funny, but it works. If you
take an unused, brand new baby diaper, roll it up,
stick it at the top of your bag, Nobody in
their right mind is going to touch your first And
it works for the beach.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I put my keys in there. Wow. Oh, nobody you're right,
a bag with a baby.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
You can roll up a credit you can roll up
a wat of cash and that nobody's going to touch you.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
That crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That works for more than.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
People come by. You want to have a dollars or whatever,
and nobody's gonna.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Look in there.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So smart genius.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That works for more than persons too, because I could
thank you know, at a festival, put that on top
of your backpack and nobody's going to touch it, going
to it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Make it look happy. You're a mess. Thank you for
this and thank you, thank you for listening.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Oh you have a great day.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You too. We appreciate the share.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I've never had that thought. Wow, I guess so honestly, Murphy,
how do you you're You're a beach person so much
more than me. You went to your to the beach
every summer of your life growing up. Ironically, Jim, we're
doing doing beach euti of it later in the show.
How did you protect your valuables on the beach? Because
I know you do.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Well, but I never really brought them down to the beach.
That's the thing, like wallets and stuff like that. I
wouldn't carry that down to the beach. Necessarily or I mean, honestly,
I guess we've just been lucky over the years. We
never had anybody rifle through anything. There's so many people
around that, if you know, usually the person sitting next
to you, if they see somebody who doesn't who hasn't
been by your chairs or whatever walking up to they're
(05:15):
going to look out for you.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Sounds like a situation.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Is that sound the part he never brought his purse
down to the beach, right, but you know, I mean,
and now you know pretty much your phone is all
you need down there.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You can buy everything degitally to have to pay or whatever.
You don't have to bring all that others.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You need to keep that in the bag though. You
don't want stand in that.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It is time for many of his past time to
have the discussion about beach etiquette. Okay, some honorable mentions.
We're going to get to the top two or three
that are most important among meat beach goers. But some
honorable mentions respect the rules of that particular beach. You
might be at a public area, you might be at
a private area. They have different rules.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
There's always a sign up.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Correct, it's marked. The other thing is respect the wildlife,
especially with regards to the rules. You're not supposed to
disturb the wild life.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, I think there are fines for that too. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Correct, But if you don't know that.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Look for the signs. But yeah, you know, when I
met you, Murphy, I had no beach etiquette because I
had very little beach experience. I went a couple of
times with friends in high school and college when it
was just a party. Yep, don't think we read any sign.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
But you may not have had beach etiquette, but you
had common sense.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yes, she just didn't know you couldn't touch the beach mouse.
The beach mouse is protected.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I didn't try to touch the mouse.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Beach mouse, yes, yeah, it's a protected species.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I think they're called beach mice, aren't they.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
There's more than one, right, Okay, have you seen the
beach mice?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Never seen a beach mouse. But I've seen the signs
that say it's a big fine, So you know what,
I'm not even going to look for the beach mouse. Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Another honorable mentioned play games away from others. If you're
throwing it all by and forth, pay attention to where
you might if you miss that ball coming at you
or frisbee, is it going to whack somebody in the
head or not?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
A drink out there that was important more serious.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes, you're right back in your drinking days. I bet
you used to drink and fall asleep on the beach,
didn't you know?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I would just drink on the beach.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Okay, all right, So the biggest ones pay attention to
and monitor your noils noise level with.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, that's that's a tricky.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Cutting up with your family and music because it is
a party atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You just know the threshold.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
You know. I'm gonna say, what's wrong with that? But
the person next to you might be in a Hank
Williams Junior movie. I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
But you just kind of you need to go up
there and accept the fact you're going to have the
music and all that around you. It is what it is.
Just try to keep it mindful.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Don't shake your towel out near anyone.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Be aware of what direction the wind is blowing.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, be mindful to say thing about spring spring sunscreen
because the wind can you know? Do that? And the
biggest one, biggest one, be mindful of other people's personal space.
Don't put your stuff down too close to a family
if there's other room, and don't put your stuff down
right in front of Yes, let us know yours though,
(08:18):
because we know you have beach etiquette rules to teach
eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ. We hit
the major complaints, but teach us a thing or two
about beach etiquette. Why don't you.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, love to hear from you. Eight seven seven three
one zero four MSJ. How are you, Kathy.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Good? I actually live at the beach, so it really
bugs me when people feed the seagulls. I don't know
if the beach you go to, but they like throw
the crackers or whatever up in the air, and next
you know, there's a whole swarm of seagulls like flying
around their beach towel and they're pooping everywhere.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yes, yes, yes, I will tell you honestly, the long
time ago I did feed them. There's been a long
time since I did that because I was like, oh
my gosh, it's so exciting to interact with these beautiful things.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, it's hard to keep the kids from wanting to
do that.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, but I hear it.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
You feed one and then they.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
All yeah, yeah, yeah, like flying rats and you.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Then you you're right, you've unleashed a past, a swarm
of pasts on everybody who's trying to enjoy the beach.
I thank you for your perspective. We need it. Yeah,
you're welcome.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Have a good day, you too, Kathy. Yeah, that's just
a good pre beach reminder, especially for the first time.
Or don't don't feed the seagulls usually. You know, if
you go to the beach regularly, you'll see the little wires,
fishing line, all those things designed to keep the seagulls away.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I know that was what that was for.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, well, because you don't want them pooping in the
in the pool area and that kind of stuff too. Yeah,
it's so much to know. And I'm gonna tell you
as somebody who's accidentally done it before. There's no warning.
I know that there is no warning.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
When birds decide to drop, they just drop. They don't
give any warning. Another piece of beach etiquette is don't
fish near crowds. You're going to be fishing, you know,
you don't want you know, little kids don't want fish
swimming up to them.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, and that's why you see you know people who
do fish usually your fishing early morning or evening or whatever.
But yeah, because that you know, small fish bringing bigger
fish and sometimes bigger fish. Oh well you know what.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Bigger fish have a big fin on.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
The very scary stuff. Is there anything that we miss
that you think that we haven't heard talked about yet?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yes, whatever you bring, take it off the beach.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Correct. It's a beautiful natural part of our world. We're lucky.
There's only so much beach. It needs to remain beautiful.
All right, keep it coming, join the conversation anytime. Sam's

been so focused on the meat.
Speaker 3 (11:08):

summer or summer.
Speaker 2 (11:11):

It is the pink cotton candy flavored slush swirled with
blue raspberry bubbles, topped with a fluffy cot cloud of
whip topping. All these adjectives sounds like stuff they put in. Yeah,
but and the starts may the fit. That's when you
can start getting it. And while supplies last, you can
get it with a wish awakening unicorn horn straw. Yeah,
the straws that are shaped just like a unicorn horn.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's that's the magic of the whole thing. Yeah, you
need the horn er. It's not a unicorn.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Burger King has Nerds Candy flavored frozen beverage. It's a
strawberry flavored slushy topped with a layer of crunchy tangy
nerds on top.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
I can't patent a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I don't know if you remember last year. I think
it was True MoU the milk company, they came out
with a blue milk in honor of Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, right, I remember that, and I remember Sam was
so frustrated because you couldn't find it.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I found it and then yeah, and it tasted like milk. Well,

fat green milk if you want to.

you can email us at Murphy Samon Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
How are you, Anita, I'm wonderful, Thank you.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
I would like to comment on the beach etiquette yes,
from North Outer Banks in North Carolina. And one of
the problems we have is that people don't fill in
the holes that they dig. Yes, if people go night walking,
they can break their ankle, and the most importantly it's
the turtles fall in they can't get out.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Oh that hurts my heart. I mean the ankles too.
But oh okay, you know I read that, I read
about fill your holes back in, but I didn't really
understand until you just told me that.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
And also the patrol cars at nighttime, they can get
stuck in them.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh that's horrible. You're right, okay, So fill in your
holes if you if you buried somebody for fun, if
you dug a big hole, I mean, that's one of
the things you do when.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
This, well, pull the person out first and then fill
a hole.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Yeah yeah, if we like them.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Thank you, thank you for this.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
You're welcome at day you.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Too, Anita. My parents actually always did tell us that
though we had to fill the holes at the end
of the day, because you didn't want a beach full
of holes.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And you didn't know why though.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh no, I knew why.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That didn't occur to me.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Where do you think, mister safety came from my mother
was like, she didn't want anybody falling in the hole,
you know what I mean. The first thing she picked
here when we were digging the hole was somebody falling
in the hole. So yeah, missus safety. Yeah, I will say.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You know, it's funny. It's a chance you take with
a kid when you bring a kid to the beach
the first time. And I'm talking about a baby, a
toddler in the sand and the way they feels to them,
which is a thing. Yeah, but you know, you can
bring all the toys out there and set them up
with the umbrella and assume that they're gonna you're gonna
be able to chill ax because they're going to play
in the sand for hours, and they'll be like, mah,
(15:26):
I don't care. Yeah, that's happened. One of our kids
couldn't have cared less about the sand. I remember that, Yeah, Murphy,
I can't remember which girl it was, but hot can
we go about them? And you're like, wait, I rented
the whole thing for the day. I paid Join the
conversation anytime. You can also hit us up on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube,
and TikTok. Yesterday was Adopt National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day,
(15:53):
and we touched on it in Three Things to Know,
but it's not enough for me to touch on it.
Adopting a shelter pet can be one of the most
beautiful things you do as a family, as a human being,
but you have to know going in that it can
be a little different. It can be a little challenging
(16:14):
depending on how long the pet has been at the shelter.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
And what their previous circumstance was too.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
That's a big part of it. But also you realize
how many animals are at a shelter, the ratio of
how many volunteers are there helping those animals, You're likely
going to get an animal that's not trained to be
in a home. You know, they go where they live,
They go to the bathroom where they live in those kennels. Sometimes.
(16:39):
I know the shelter that we adopt from most often
Murphy and I've been there a lot of times. They
used to volunteer there, just walking dogs in the afternoon.
You know, sometimes they don't get out but once a
day and for ten fifteen minutes at a time, and
the rest of the time is thirty twenty three hours
a day.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
In that changes their demeanor also an addition to everything else.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So when they get into a home a shell let's
just say a dog, for instance, because mostly it's dogs
and cats and shelters, but shelters have pit pigs too,
they have chickens, they have I mean, they have all
kinds of animals. There are rabbit shelters and rabbit rescues
in those places.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Are hopping huh.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, you just need to know it's always possible that
when you bring an animal into your home, you're going
to have some It's going to be rough at first
for everybody in basle.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Really, it's almost like you should treat you should treat
it as a puppy, regardless of the age, because you're
starting from scratch.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Correct. You don't know their history. They're not necessarily house trained.
And one of the pieces of literature I read about
this when I was reading about it yesterday said give
them a few days to calm down and be who
they are. I'm thinking give them weeks, yea weeks. They
have never They may not eat right away. We had
foster dogs who wouldn't eat for days and it made
(17:56):
me crazy.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And Eatie, who we kept. We rescued her covid or
in the shutdown of everything. It took her about three
months before she would actually start to approach anybody right,
but she eventually did.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
You know, she's still not right though, I know she
hasn't read. Anyway, Consider your living situation and pick an
animal that fits into your life routine. If your high energy,
then you can go for a high energy You're going
to take them for you know, lots of walks and
all that. If your lower energy, don't get a brand
new bouncing Know about your breed, Know about those things,
and know that it's going to take some time for
(18:29):
them to feel to show you who they really are.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Social Media connect, It's a.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Beautiful email that came in from Laurie. Hey, guys, was
listening to the after the Show podcast about paying it forward.
Every Christmas season, my father gives the older grandchildren fifty
dollars to spend on others. They have to be eight
or older. The older grandchildren. My kids have paid at
(18:56):
drive throughs, made payments on students lunch bills. That's beautiful. Yeah,
brought bought teacher supplies, shopped for our local food bank,
and more. My god, this is fantastic, Lurie.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That is just a great It's great on so many
different levels because you're teaching them, you're giving us all
of it. It's like the total.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Path and they end up feeling that and be like
when they have their own fifty dollars or whatever they
want to give. Yeah, as they've grown older, they all
started talking about what they will do with Pauppau's money
this year. And my dad loves hearing that from everyone,
what they did for others. This is a great idea, Laurie.
Oh my gosh, A great thing for grandparents to do,
our parents to do. And it's thanks for the for
(19:37):
shining the light in ways we can do little things
to make life better. Laurie, thank you for sharing Papa's
money and the story. Did you guys do pay it forward?
The other day when it was did you think to
do it now?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I went to the ball field.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Sound there was nobody around me.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
So it's like, oh, good bye hot dog for somebody.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I didn't hit a drive through otherwise I guess I
could have done that behind me.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
But well, you can still do it. It doesn't have to
pay it forward day to pay it forward. You can
still do it. I had that. I went to the
produce stand. Remember I bought a bunch of stuff. I
bought a spaghetti squash, all that stuff, and I was waiting.
There was nobody behind me. I was hanging around and
I had already paid. Was do you do you want
(20:22):

So Instagram and Facebook. This came in from Michelle. This
is to Facebook about journaling. Someone had recommended it with
Cheryl this week that had told us that her keep
the wow was that she journals about things and it
makes her feel better about everything.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, and she does it every day.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, which I guess you don't have to do. That's
one of the rules right, You don't have to do
it every day because it feels like a chore. Michelle
says sent this in to Facebook about the journaling. I'm
a therapist, and I suggest using the notes app for
those that don't like writing. You can use it as
a brain dump and see it whenever you need. The
voice to text text option is great too, Murphy loves that. Yeah,
(21:40):
my notes app. My notes app has been a life saver.
That's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Look, it does let you pull up important things and
reminders wherever, so and you can do that so many
different ways. But for me, it has to be voice
to text. Otherwise, trying to type out something is not
as therapeutic to me as writing it out. I've tried
to do both of them before, and typing it out
is not the same thing for me. Everybody's different.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
You have to pen to paper.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
The pen to paper is just more of a true
brain dump for me, or voicing it into something is
more of a it's a verbal brain dump.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I guess I think this is it because typing feels
like work to you, maybe, Marpha.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, it's not fast enough, honestly using your thumbs. That
frustrates me. When you start misspelling stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Right, I can't type as fast as I talk. Goodbye journaling,
forget this.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, thank you, Michelle. I'm impressed that a therapist sent
us some advice.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
There.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I love it. Judith sent this instead of classic journaling.
Pick a sore spot and just free write pen to
paper and let it all flow out. You may end
up quite surprised that you're actually upset about a different
aspect than you thought.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
That's a great idea, too.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Kind of mind blowing when that happens. Thank you, Judith.
Little therapy here. Yesterday's after the Show podcast, Oh my Gosh,
our oldest daughter Tailor stopped by for a life update,
a career update. She just did a little gossip about
home life with us. Murph. Yeah, thanks to Sam.
Speaker 1 (23:02):

who's sort of at a career crossroads or stuck coming
out of college.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Figure Taylor on the after the Show podcast Get it
for free anywhere you listen to podcasts, just search Murphy,
Sam and Jody. We also invite you to join us
anytime eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ How
are you, Jerry?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
I am doing wonderful. You everything's going great this morning.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
What can we do for you?
Speaker 9 (23:28):
Well, you know, we're just talking about getting the new
updated driver's license. Yes, and I had a hopeful help
for the folks across the country. You can now make
an appointment at your DMV and you don't have to
wait three or four hours.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yes, my aunt did the same. She made an appointment,
she arrived on time, she was in and out of
there in thirty to forty minutes. Meanwhile, there was a
line wrapped around the building for walk ups.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
Exactly. I do vehicles for the nonprofits that I work for,
and I do get some dirty looks when I walk
in and then walk out and about fifteen. But if
you're going to do something like get updated driver's classes,
please make an appointment.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yep, and you do it on the way. You can
do it online. That's where you do it.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
You're good online and you check in. When you get there,
they call your name, you are in and out.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So good. Thank you for this. You know, we didn't
mention that we've talked a lot about real ID and
all of that and no need to panic, et cetera.
But what's funny is that you can still go get
your real id after the deadline, right.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
As long as you're not flying right away?
Speaker 9 (24:40):
Yeah right, yeah, as long as you're not flying, but
you know, anything to help that process, that's the DMV.
Thank goodness, they finally did that correct.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Well, thank you, Jerry. You call us anytime, okay, all right?
Speaker 9 (24:53):
I listen every day on the way to work, and
you guys make my morning just a little brighter.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Thank you. That is all. That's our purpose. So yeah,
we'll keep trying.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Thank you, Jerry, You too, Jerry. We appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I don't know what you guys think. The number one
thing that moms want from Mother's Day is, but I'm
about to drop it on you.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
It's got to be a break, right, Yeah, it is
peace and quiet.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
You're very much in the right lane. And to me,
this is these are moms with young kids and all
the things going on. That being a roller coaster, a
ride that you get on and you can't you don't
really get off for several years. Then later down the
road in motherhood that does slow down when they get
busy with their lives. You need to have your own life,
(25:40):
believe me, been there. But so they say the number
one thing that moms would want is a nap just
to rest, but to rest with no one needing them
at that time.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That's the big one for me. A break. When I
said a break, that's what I meant. It's the whole
thing of not having to actually be mom the caretaker
for a minute, to just be you and breathe, And
it's a it's a real bittersweet situation because like Mother's Day,
you want to be with your family, family and all that, So, yeah,
pick the weekend or whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Every time we always talk about this over the years,
we'll say, yeah, give mom a break, and we will
always hear from someone who's like, no, that's motherhood is
the greatest, you know, privilege of your life. And yes
it is. It's the greatest thing I think to ever
happen to me. That doesn't mean I don't want to
be at a spa all day the Saturday before. It
doesn't mean that I don't sometimes need a little time.
(26:34):
And I will tell you this, if you don't have
money to drop on a spa, fine, if you don't,
you know your the mom in your life doesn't want
you to spend money. Let her have the house to
herself for a day. That's a special sort of luxury.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Because that thing needs cleaning.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I knew you were gonna do that. Good luck with that,
Your luck with that. It's just true like women, especially
working mothers and moms, who do so much for other
people all the time, you almost don't know what to
do with your own free time when you get correct right.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And that's why it's being a mother is It really
is a role, but you know you still have to
be the person right part of your life. But it's
right exactly, but it's so because it's so emotionally connected
to you. It's very difficult to take yourself out, not
be just define yourself.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Moms can't stop momming, but moms are also you know, girls, women, ladies.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
My mom is eighty five and she can't stop momming.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And bless her for it, she's so so good at it.
But guess what she needs a nap, Sammy Social media connect,
I've loved hearing from you about the the fish that
have been dumped in the creek near our house, and
I keep showing videos and pictures of it because I
can't believe that this keeps happening, These big, big, big
(27:49):
like catfish that have been what do you call it?
Got it? Whatever? They're dumped, and then these huge turtles
in the creek are chowing down like it's in all
you can eat seafood buffet, which I guess you and
I don't. I'm completely torn about it. I shared a
real the other day like I don't know if I'm
sad for the fish or happy for the turtles, because
(28:11):
the turtles are just chowing down quickly.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You got a video of how many five.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
For there were four huge fish and four or five
huge turtles, and you could see the fish shaking because
they're being eaten and bitten dead fish. So somebody's definitely fishing,
fileting and then dumping fish right down the street from us.
And I remember thinking this is gonna smell horrible in
a few days, and it hasn't happened.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
You know why, I.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Didn't think turtles could eat that much.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I can't be notably big.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
They're big turtles and they normally. Let me just say this, guys.
When now I walk with my vest and exercise and
I peek my head over to the creek, I'm always
looking for something because there's always so much exciting nature
down there. Usually when the turtles see anything foreign to them.
They in my head, they go under the water and
they start swimming. Now with the fish there, they look
up at me and go, what.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Do you want?
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I mean, they don't move, they just chow down. Jen said,
I totally have mixed feelings on this too. She sent
that to us on Facebook. Walter says, those have been
clean and the filets taken. You throw the carcass back
in the water to feed the smaller fish and help
the ecosystem.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
See, that's what I was hoping it would be that
it just it looks weird.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
But it does look crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yeah, that's not like it's a bag of garbage.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I know you're right, and you guys told me that.
I was just sad at first when you see, you know,
animals dumped you. I just felt horrible.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Well, you know the reason, because that's what you love
most about the walk is you love the nature aspect.
It's so much and it's so peaceful until you see
things eating other things.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Have you a smuth fish frying in the neighborhood anywhere?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
No, I have not. Thanks for that though. By the way,
Cheryl sent this to Instagram. There's a setting on iPhones
this is for you. Turpee to prevent motion sickness. Under
settings Accessibility, Accessibility, and motion dots will appear on your
screen when it detects you're in a car, plane, whatever.
I get motion sickness very easily and this works for me.
(30:12):
Now I can use my phone when traveling
This is the Murphy Saving Jody weekend replay podcast, picking
up some of our favorite moments from this past week.
And it starts now.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Taylor in the house A ray of sunshine and we
love it when you stop by, Baby girl, Hello, I'm
happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Taylor is Murphy and Jody's oldest daughter. Yes, not to
be with Phoebe, who is the youngest daughter.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's right. I always call you baby Tay when you
were a little.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
A I love that, and you call it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
She had a lot of She had tater tot, she
had a whole lot of nicknames, and Scooter.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Since we are lucky enough to have someone else from
the family here for why not get a little inside
info on what goes on with mom and Dad at
the home. Can you audition any dirt on them? We
heard recently that Dad likes to Murphy likes to explain jokes.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
He does like to explain the joke.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
When it doesn't land.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I guess, Dad, And how often does it not land?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I mean most of the time ends, most of the
time we laugh. One thing I want to point out
is that whenever my dad is about to make a joke.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I can always yeah, totally.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
There's an expression on his face, like when we're in
conversation where I'm like.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
He's about to it's that obvious. It's almost like you're
you're proud of yourself about what you're about to bring. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, well for him, it definitely shows. But I mean
I I usually don't say anything. I'm just like, okay,
I'm ready for it.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
You know, I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It is, but it's sort of like and when you
because both you and Phoebe now are you know, your
young adults, you're doing your own things, So when the
four of us are together, there's an energy that comes
back to me, the kind of you know, and so
I don't know, I tend to. I guess I get giddy.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
When they were little, that was yes, you you're the
you know, the leader of the family and you all this,
but you also were always the joke, especially at that time.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Does does mom does Jodie have any humor jokes?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I would say she has a little more like sarcastic
humor for sure about that. It's not like my dad
has a stick. My mom does not have a well,
I mean, she doesn't have like a stick about her.
She's just sarcastically funny.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Give us an example.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I think I think you were very physically comedic. A
lot of the things to do when we were kids.
One thing I can think about is used to it
when it was dinner time or something you would like
stomp in and then you would clang on a pot
and be like and then literally last night, this doesn't change.
Last night, my dad was walking with a giant box
(02:46):
and he was like, I'm gonna be a cartoon character
real quick. And he was like, whoa, whoa, very very
corny stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And then your eyes go super wide too. Yes, classic day, Yeah,
classic dad stuff. Thank you, Tay, Baby Tay. Join the
conversation anytime. A lot of ways to do that. Eight

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Hello June, Hey, I listening to the series about the
not getting your personal one. Yes, and this also works
for the beach.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
And it's kind of funny, but it works. If you
take an unused, brand new baby diaper, roll it up,
stick it at the top of your bag, Nobody in
their right mind is going to touch your first And
it works for the beach.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I put my keys in there. Wow. Oh, nobody you're right,
a bag with a baby.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
You can roll up a credit you can roll up
a wat of cash and that nobody's going to touch you.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
That crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That works for more than.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
People come by. You want to have a dollars or whatever,
and nobody's gonna.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Look in there.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So smart genius.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That works for more than persons too, because I could
thank you know, at a festival, put that on top
of your backpack and nobody's going to touch it, going
to it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Make it look happy. You're a mess. Thank you for
this and thank you, thank you for listening.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Oh you have a great day.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You too. We appreciate the share.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I've never had that thought. Wow, I guess so honestly, Murphy,
how do you you're You're a beach person so much
more than me. You went to your to the beach
every summer of your life growing up. Ironically, Jim, we're
doing doing beach euti of it later in the show.
How did you protect your valuables on the beach? Because
I know you do.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Well, but I never really brought them down to the beach.
That's the thing, like wallets and stuff like that. I
wouldn't carry that down to the beach. Necessarily or I mean, honestly,
I guess we've just been lucky over the years. We
never had anybody rifle through anything. There's so many people
around that, if you know, usually the person sitting next
to you, if they see somebody who doesn't who hasn't
been by your chairs or whatever walking up to they're
(05:15):
going to look out for you.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Sounds like a situation.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Is that sound the part he never brought his purse
down to the beach, right, but you know, I mean,
and now you know pretty much your phone is all
you need down there.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You can buy everything degitally to have to pay or whatever.
You don't have to bring all that others.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You need to keep that in the bag though. You
don't want stand in that.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It is time for many of his past time to
have the discussion about beach etiquette. Okay, some honorable mentions.
We're going to get to the top two or three
that are most important among meat beach goers. But some
honorable mentions respect the rules of that particular beach. You
might be at a public area, you might be at
a private area. They have different rules.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
There's always a sign up.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Correct, it's marked. The other thing is respect the wildlife,
especially with regards to the rules. You're not supposed to
disturb the wild life.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, I think there are fines for that too. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Correct, But if you don't know that.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Look for the signs. But yeah, you know, when I
met you, Murphy, I had no beach etiquette because I
had very little beach experience. I went a couple of
times with friends in high school and college when it
was just a party. Yep, don't think we read any sign.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
But you may not have had beach etiquette, but you
had common sense.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yes, she just didn't know you couldn't touch the beach mouse.
The beach mouse is protected.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I didn't try to touch the mouse.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Beach mouse, yes, yeah, it's a protected species.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I think they're called beach mice, aren't they.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
There's more than one, right, Okay, have you seen the
beach mice?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Never seen a beach mouse. But I've seen the signs
that say it's a big fine, So you know what,
I'm not even going to look for the beach mouse. Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Another honorable mentioned play games away from others. If you're
throwing it all by and forth, pay attention to where
you might if you miss that ball coming at you
or frisbee, is it going to whack somebody in the
head or not?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
A drink out there that was important more serious.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes, you're right back in your drinking days. I bet
you used to drink and fall asleep on the beach,
didn't you know?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I would just drink on the beach.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Okay, all right, So the biggest ones pay attention to
and monitor your noils noise level with.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, that's that's a tricky.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Cutting up with your family and music because it is
a party atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You just know the threshold.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
You know. I'm gonna say, what's wrong with that? But
the person next to you might be in a Hank
Williams Junior movie. I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
But you just kind of you need to go up
there and accept the fact you're going to have the
music and all that around you. It is what it is.
Just try to keep it mindful.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Don't shake your towel out near anyone.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Be aware of what direction the wind is blowing.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, be mindful to say thing about spring spring sunscreen
because the wind can you know? Do that? And the
biggest one, biggest one, be mindful of other people's personal space.
Don't put your stuff down too close to a family
if there's other room, and don't put your stuff down
right in front of Yes, let us know yours though,
(08:18):
because we know you have beach etiquette rules to teach
eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ. We hit
the major complaints, but teach us a thing or two
about beach etiquette. Why don't you.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, love to hear from you. Eight seven seven three
one zero four MSJ. How are you, Kathy.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Good? I actually live at the beach, so it really
bugs me when people feed the seagulls. I don't know
if the beach you go to, but they like throw
the crackers or whatever up in the air, and next
you know, there's a whole swarm of seagulls like flying
around their beach towel and they're pooping everywhere.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yes, yes, yes, I will tell you honestly, the long
time ago I did feed them. There's been a long
time since I did that because I was like, oh
my gosh, it's so exciting to interact with these beautiful things.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, it's hard to keep the kids from wanting to
do that.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, but I hear it.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
You feed one and then they.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
All yeah, yeah, yeah, like flying rats and you.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Then you you're right, you've unleashed a past, a swarm
of pasts on everybody who's trying to enjoy the beach.
I thank you for your perspective. We need it. Yeah,
you're welcome.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Have a good day, you too, Kathy. Yeah, that's just
a good pre beach reminder, especially for the first time.
Or don't don't feed the seagulls usually. You know, if
you go to the beach regularly, you'll see the little wires,
fishing line, all those things designed to keep the seagulls away.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I know that was what that was for.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, well, because you don't want them pooping in the
in the pool area and that kind of stuff too. Yeah,
it's so much to know. And I'm gonna tell you
as somebody who's accidentally done it before. There's no warning.
I know that there is no warning.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
When birds decide to drop, they just drop. They don't
give any warning. Another piece of beach etiquette is don't
fish near crowds. You're going to be fishing, you know,
you don't want you know, little kids don't want fish
swimming up to them.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, and that's why you see you know people who
do fish usually your fishing early morning or evening or whatever.
But yeah, because that you know, small fish bringing bigger
fish and sometimes bigger fish. Oh well you know what.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Bigger fish have a big fin on.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
The very scary stuff. Is there anything that we miss
that you think that we haven't heard talked about yet?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yes, whatever you bring, take it off the beach.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Correct. It's a beautiful natural part of our world. We're lucky.
There's only so much beach. It needs to remain beautiful.
All right, keep it coming, join the conversation anytime. Sam's

whip topping. All these adjectives sounds like stuff they put in. Yeah,
but and the starts may the fit. That's when you
can start getting it. And while supplies last, you can
get it with a wish awakening unicorn horn straw. Yeah,
the straws that are shaped just like a unicorn horn.

need the horn er. It's not a unicorn.

with a blue milk in honor of Star Wars.

so frustrated because you couldn't find it.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
How are you, Anita, I'm wonderful, Thank you.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
I would like to comment on the beach etiquette yes,
from North Outer Banks in North Carolina. And one of
the problems we have is that people don't fill in
the holes that they dig. Yes, if people go night walking,
they can break their ankle, and the most importantly it's
the turtles fall in they can't get out.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Oh that hurts my heart. I mean the ankles too.
But oh okay, you know I read that, I read
about fill your holes back in, but I didn't really
understand until you just told me that.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
And also the patrol cars at nighttime, they can get
stuck in them.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh that's horrible. You're right, okay, So fill in your
holes if you if you buried somebody for fun, if
you dug a big hole, I mean, that's one of
the things you do when.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
This, well, pull the person out first and then fill
a hole.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Yeah yeah, if we like them.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Thank you, thank you for this.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
You're welcome at day you.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Too, Anita. My parents actually always did tell us that
though we had to fill the holes at the end
of the day, because you didn't want a beach full
of holes.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And you didn't know why though.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh no, I knew why.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That didn't occur to me.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Where do you think, mister safety came from my mother
was like, she didn't want anybody falling in the hole,
you know what I mean. The first thing she picked
here when we were digging the hole was somebody falling
in the hole. So yeah, missus safety. Yeah, I will say.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You know, it's funny. It's a chance you take with
a kid when you bring a kid to the beach
the first time. And I'm talking about a baby, a
toddler in the sand and the way they feels to them,
which is a thing. Yeah, but you know, you can
bring all the toys out there and set them up
with the umbrella and assume that they're gonna you're gonna
be able to chill ax because they're going to play
in the sand for hours, and they'll be like, mah,
(15:26):
I don't care. Yeah, that's happened. One of our kids
couldn't have cared less about the sand. I remember that, Yeah, Murphy,
I can't remember which girl it was, but hot can
we go about them? And you're like, wait, I rented
the whole thing for the day. I paid Join the
conversation anytime. You can also hit us up on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube,
and TikTok. Yesterday was Adopt National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day,
(15:53):
and we touched on it in Three Things to Know,
but it's not enough for me to touch on it.
Adopting a shelter pet can be one of the most
beautiful things you do as a family, as a human being,
but you have to know going in that it can
be a little different. It can be a little challenging
(16:14):
depending on how long the pet has been at the shelter.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
And what their previous circumstance was too.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
That's a big part of it. But also you realize
how many animals are at a shelter, the ratio of
how many volunteers are there helping those animals, You're likely
going to get an animal that's not trained to be
in a home. You know, they go where they live,
They go to the bathroom where they live in those kennels. Sometimes.
(16:39):
I know the shelter that we adopt from most often
Murphy and I've been there a lot of times. They
used to volunteer there, just walking dogs in the afternoon.
You know, sometimes they don't get out but once a
day and for ten fifteen minutes at a time, and
the rest of the time is thirty twenty three hours
a day.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
In that changes their demeanor also an addition to everything else.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So when they get into a home a shell let's
just say a dog, for instance, because mostly it's dogs
and cats and shelters, but shelters have pit pigs too,
they have chickens, they have I mean, they have all
kinds of animals. There are rabbit shelters and rabbit rescues
in those places.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Are hopping huh.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, you just need to know it's always possible that
when you bring an animal into your home, you're going
to have some It's going to be rough at first
for everybody in basle.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Really, it's almost like you should treat you should treat
it as a puppy, regardless of the age, because you're
starting from scratch.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Correct. You don't know their history. They're not necessarily house trained.
And one of the pieces of literature I read about
this when I was reading about it yesterday said give
them a few days to calm down and be who
they are. I'm thinking give them weeks, yea weeks. They
have never They may not eat right away. We had
foster dogs who wouldn't eat for days and it made
(17:56):
me crazy.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And Eatie, who we kept. We rescued her covid or
in the shutdown of everything. It took her about three
months before she would actually start to approach anybody right,
but she eventually did.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
You know, she's still not right though, I know she
hasn't read. Anyway, Consider your living situation and pick an
animal that fits into your life routine. If your high energy,
then you can go for a high energy You're going
to take them for you know, lots of walks and
all that. If your lower energy, don't get a brand
new bouncing Know about your breed, Know about those things,
and know that it's going to take some time for
(18:29):
them to feel to show you who they really are.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Social Media connect, It's a.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Beautiful email that came in from Laurie. Hey, guys, was
listening to the after the Show podcast about paying it forward.
Every Christmas season, my father gives the older grandchildren fifty
dollars to spend on others. They have to be eight
or older. The older grandchildren. My kids have paid at
(18:56):
drive throughs, made payments on students lunch bills. That's beautiful. Yeah,
brought bought teacher supplies, shopped for our local food bank,
and more. My god, this is fantastic, Lurie.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That is just a great It's great on so many
different levels because you're teaching them, you're giving us all
of it. It's like the total.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Path and they end up feeling that and be like
when they have their own fifty dollars or whatever they
want to give. Yeah, as they've grown older, they all
started talking about what they will do with Pauppau's money
this year. And my dad loves hearing that from everyone,
what they did for others. This is a great idea, Laurie.
Oh my gosh, A great thing for grandparents to do,
our parents to do. And it's thanks for the for
(19:37):
shining the light in ways we can do little things
to make life better. Laurie, thank you for sharing Papa's
money and the story. Did you guys do pay it forward?
The other day when it was did you think to
do it now?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I went to the ball field.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Sound there was nobody around me.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
So it's like, oh, good bye hot dog for somebody.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I didn't hit a drive through otherwise I guess I
could have done that behind me.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
But well, you can still do it. It doesn't have to
pay it forward day to pay it forward. You can
still do it. I had that. I went to the
produce stand. Remember I bought a bunch of stuff. I
bought a spaghetti squash, all that stuff, and I was waiting.
There was nobody behind me. I was hanging around and
I had already paid. Was do you do you want
(20:22):
an avocado? And I'm like no, I just never mind.
So anyway, maybe next time I'm in Chick fil a
line or something, We'll pay it for you an all
week thing. Anyway, thank you again for that, Lori. You

there anything you're thinking about, if you wanted to tell
us something or you missed it, jump in anytime. Social
media never closes.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I know you know that that's true.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
So Instagram and Facebook. This came in from Michelle. This
is to Facebook about journaling. Someone had recommended it with
Cheryl this week that had told us that her keep
the wow was that she journals about things and it
makes her feel better about everything.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, and she does it every day.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, which I guess you don't have to do. That's
one of the rules right, You don't have to do
it every day because it feels like a chore. Michelle
says sent this in to Facebook about the journaling. I'm
a therapist, and I suggest using the notes app for
those that don't like writing. You can use it as
a brain dump and see it whenever you need. The
voice to text text option is great too, Murphy loves that. Yeah,
(21:40):
my notes app. My notes app has been a life saver.
That's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Look, it does let you pull up important things and
reminders wherever, so and you can do that so many
different ways. But for me, it has to be voice
to text. Otherwise, trying to type out something is not
as therapeutic to me as writing it out. I've tried
to do both of them before, and typing it out
is not the same thing for me. Everybody's different.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
You have to pen to paper.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
The pen to paper is just more of a true
brain dump for me, or voicing it into something is
more of a it's a verbal brain dump.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I guess I think this is it because typing feels
like work to you, maybe, Marpha.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, it's not fast enough, honestly using your thumbs. That
frustrates me. When you start misspelling stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Right, I can't type as fast as I talk. Goodbye journaling,
forget this.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, thank you, Michelle. I'm impressed that a therapist sent
us some advice.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
There.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I love it. Judith sent this instead of classic journaling.
Pick a sore spot and just free write pen to
paper and let it all flow out. You may end
up quite surprised that you're actually upset about a different
aspect than you thought.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
That's a great idea, too.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Kind of mind blowing when that happens. Thank you, Judith.
Little therapy here. Yesterday's after the Show podcast, Oh my Gosh,
our oldest daughter Tailor stopped by for a life update,
a career update. She just did a little gossip about
home life with us. Murph. Yeah, thanks to Sam.

are you, Jerry?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
I am doing wonderful. You everything's going great this morning.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
What can we do for you?
Speaker 9 (23:28):
Well, you know, we're just talking about getting the new
updated driver's license. Yes, and I had a hopeful help
for the folks across the country. You can now make
an appointment at your DMV and you don't have to
wait three or four hours.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yes, my aunt did the same. She made an appointment,
she arrived on time, she was in and out of
there in thirty to forty minutes. Meanwhile, there was a
line wrapped around the building for walk ups.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
Exactly. I do vehicles for the nonprofits that I work for,
and I do get some dirty looks when I walk
in and then walk out and about fifteen. But if
you're going to do something like get updated driver's classes,
please make an appointment.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yep, and you do it on the way. You can
do it online. That's where you do it.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
You're good online and you check in. When you get there,
they call your name, you are in and out.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So good. Thank you for this. You know, we didn't
mention that we've talked a lot about real ID and
all of that and no need to panic, et cetera.
But what's funny is that you can still go get
your real id after the deadline, right.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
As long as you're not flying right away?
Speaker 9 (24:40):
Yeah right, yeah, as long as you're not flying, but
you know, anything to help that process, that's the DMV.
Thank goodness, they finally did that correct.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Well, thank you, Jerry. You call us anytime, okay, all right?
Speaker 9 (24:53):
I listen every day on the way to work, and
you guys make my morning just a little brighter.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Thank you. That is all. That's our purpose. So yeah,
we'll keep trying.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Thank you, Jerry, You too, Jerry. We appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I don't know what you guys think. The number one
thing that moms want from Mother's Day is, but I'm
about to drop it on you.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
It's got to be a break, right, Yeah, it is
peace and quiet.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
You're very much in the right lane. And to me,
this is these are moms with young kids and all
the things going on. That being a roller coaster, a
ride that you get on and you can't you don't
really get off for several years. Then later down the
road in motherhood that does slow down when they get
busy with their lives. You need to have your own life,
(25:40):
believe me, been there. But so they say the number
one thing that moms would want is a nap just
to rest, but to rest with no one needing them
at that time.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That's the big one for me. A break. When I
said a break, that's what I meant. It's the whole
thing of not having to actually be mom the caretaker
for a minute, to just be you and breathe, And
it's a it's a real bittersweet situation because like Mother's Day,
you want to be with your family, family and all that, So, yeah,
pick the weekend or whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Every time we always talk about this over the years,
we'll say, yeah, give mom a break, and we will
always hear from someone who's like, no, that's motherhood is
the greatest, you know, privilege of your life. And yes
it is. It's the greatest thing I think to ever
happen to me. That doesn't mean I don't want to
be at a spa all day the Saturday before. It
doesn't mean that I don't sometimes need a little time.
(26:34):
And I will tell you this, if you don't have
money to drop on a spa, fine, if you don't,
you know your the mom in your life doesn't want
you to spend money. Let her have the house to
herself for a day. That's a special sort of luxury.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Because that thing needs cleaning.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I knew you were gonna do that. Good luck with that,
Your luck with that. It's just true like women, especially
working mothers and moms, who do so much for other
people all the time, you almost don't know what to
do with your own free time when you get correct right.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And that's why it's being a mother is It really
is a role, but you know you still have to
be the person right part of your life. But it's
right exactly, but it's so because it's so emotionally connected
to you. It's very difficult to take yourself out, not
be just define yourself.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Moms can't stop momming, but moms are also you know, girls, women, ladies.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
My mom is eighty five and she can't stop momming.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And bless her for it, she's so so good at it.
But guess what she needs a nap, Sammy Social media connect,
I've loved hearing from you about the the fish that
have been dumped in the creek near our house, and
I keep showing videos and pictures of it because I
can't believe that this keeps happening, These big, big, big
(27:49):
like catfish that have been what do you call it?
Got it? Whatever? They're dumped, and then these huge turtles
in the creek are chowing down like it's in all
you can eat seafood buffet, which I guess you and
I don't. I'm completely torn about it. I shared a
real the other day like I don't know if I'm
sad for the fish or happy for the turtles, because
(28:11):
the turtles are just chowing down quickly.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You got a video of how many five.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
For there were four huge fish and four or five
huge turtles, and you could see the fish shaking because
they're being eaten and bitten dead fish. So somebody's definitely fishing,
fileting and then dumping fish right down the street from us.
And I remember thinking this is gonna smell horrible in
a few days, and it hasn't happened.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
You know why, I.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Didn't think turtles could eat that much.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I can't be notably big.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
They're big turtles and they normally. Let me just say this, guys.
When now I walk with my vest and exercise and
I peek my head over to the creek, I'm always
looking for something because there's always so much exciting nature
down there. Usually when the turtles see anything foreign to them.
They in my head, they go under the water and
they start swimming. Now with the fish there, they look
up at me and go, what.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Do you want?
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I mean, they don't move, they just chow down. Jen said,
I totally have mixed feelings on this too. She sent
that to us on Facebook. Walter says, those have been
clean and the filets taken. You throw the carcass back
in the water to feed the smaller fish and help
the ecosystem.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
See, that's what I was hoping it would be that
it just it looks weird.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
But it does look crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yeah, that's not like it's a bag of garbage.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I know you're right, and you guys told me that.
I was just sad at first when you see, you know,
animals dumped you. I just felt horrible.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Well, you know the reason, because that's what you love
most about the walk is you love the nature aspect.
It's so much and it's so peaceful until you see
things eating other things.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Have you a smuth fish frying in the neighborhood anywhere?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
No, I have not. Thanks for that though. By the way,
Cheryl sent this to Instagram. There's a setting on iPhones
this is for you. Turpee to prevent motion sickness. Under
settings Accessibility, Accessibility, and motion dots will appear on your
screen when it detects you're in a car, plane, whatever.
I get motion sickness very easily and this works for me.
(30:12):
Now I can use my phone when traveling
