Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam and Jody after the Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I have a couple's question. Murphy and I are a couple,
and so I know our answer to this, and it's
why I bring it up because last night we did
this with the kids there at dinner at your birthday dinner,
and they questioned us. So, Sam, when you.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Were up, we're not part of a couple.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I know. But when you were you have been three
or four times. Okay, Yes, that's not a high number.
That's probably a very average number anyway, So that's not we.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Have friends that are much higher.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yes, for dating it's okay, but not for marriages, live.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And let love whatever. Okay. So when you were coupled
up and you would go out to dinner, would you
ever order the same thing as your partner ordered?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I hate doing that and I don't like doing it.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yes and no. There were times where it's like, if
that's what I really wanted and we're here, you know, eating,
I don't know when we're going to be back out
of the evening, I'm going to get it. And again
there were times where it's like I'm not committed to anything. Yeah,
well I want to get this. Well, I was looking
at that. You'll tell you what you get.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You get that, and I'll get this.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I've gone both ways.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Here's magic and you get this and I'll get that. Yeah,
Murphy and I almost always share each other. Now I'm
gonna cut the plates in half. We don't share like that,
but he'll give me a bite.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We're not that couple that you look at across the
way and go, oh my god, they sharing everything for that.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, no, never did I get what I most want
and I'll let him have some of it so he
can taste gets what he most wants. But so last night,
I don't know if you caught. I knew I was
getting the salad because I want that big salad with
that awesome dressing. And I'm like, I'm getting that and
you and you said I'm thinking about getting that too,
and I was like, whoa, No, if you're get if
(01:50):
you want that, it's your birthday, Murph, you get it,
then I will have to pivot.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, yeah, it's I just feel like it's it's a waste.
He's somebody that I can share food with, enjoy sharing
food with. You don't do that with everybody. Yeah, sharing
food is a little.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Intet and it's you know, it's we're not talking about
a burger and fry somewhere, right, We're talking about, you know,
a sit down dinner where you've got you know, many
choices on the menu and you would like to everybody
wants to sample a little bit of everything. It is fun. Yeah,
I mean there are times where I know that you
and I both if just like, okay, well we're not
going to get the same thing, which you know, as
(02:26):
long as it doesn't change what you really want or
what I really want, then I don't think that's a
big deal. You know.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, you shouldn't like sell yourself out. If you really
want something, you should fight for it, because what happens
is this too. One is always better than the other. Oh,
your fish was better.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Sometimes if you said I should have gotten that, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
You've said it. Yeah, it's just one of those things. Though.
I know there are certain couples that you know it's
no big deal, but to me it feels like a
waste to not share, and I love that you're okay
with it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Well yeah, right, yeah, I don't think that. I don't
think you and I have ever locked horns on that, right.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Nothing like that, but not to eat well. Yeah together.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And of course we've been married for over twenty five
years now, and so it's you. You're gonna know the
things that I'm predisposed to order, and I'm the same
for you, right yeah, And so our tastes are just
enough different on some things that we're going to You know,
you will get a salad that has all sorts of fruits,
nuts and berries on it, and you know, yeah, I
(03:26):
just want ranch and bacon. No something with meat, yeah no,
but seriously, and so it's just part of the experience.
You know, for example that if the if the server
comes up and says, this is what our special is today,
and as they list it off, you can see the
reaction at the table. You know where I'm going to go,
right exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, I know. Have you ever had and I'm not
asking you to name a person, but did you ever
have one of your relationships, one of your exes, sam
that you did not dine well with, because that can
know that could be difficult.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that would be a bad sign
for the whole relationship. It would be a meal with
that person at a restaurant wonder. I mean I had
different spouses and partners that you know, are allergic to
certain foods or never touch certain foods because they didn't
like those foods, right, But yeah, yeah, I just work
(04:22):
around it.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh that's the way Jody is with scallops, for example,
Jody didn't like the texture of scallops. I know that
I'm getting all the scallops to myself. Yeah that's perfect
because I absolutely love those.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So like when you go to a restaurant, if Murphy
orders scallops, he knows he's getting them all. Yeah, because
there's gonna.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Be doesn't have that mentality though. He's actually actually he's
more forceful with his food than I. Like, last night,
you gave me.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
One of It's like, yeah, you've got to try this, Jody.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And I'm like, I'm good, No, you've got to try this.
Instead of hoarding his food, He's like, no, I want
you to have some of it. He'll put more on
my plate than I even really wanted. Yeah, it's very generous.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Well, I mean it was the not roasted. What's the
word I'm looking for? Yeah, but they were Is it roasted?
Is that the right or roasted?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, Well they were delicious, and I know and Jody
loves those, and so it's like, you know, yeah, you're
going to try.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
These are a big mountain of salad.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Those you had some of my stuff sprouts.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, I hope all families did that. We do that
with the girls too, and the girls they ordered something different,
so we all kind of got to play. And I
love that. But I just know that there are certain
people that don't like to share.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
These other girls and their boyfriends didn't do any fair.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Just the girls came. Boys boyfriends didn't come this time, right.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I you know, because foo food is really such a
personal thing, there are some people that don't. They don't
want to share because of the food itself, or sometimes
it's the germ concern or whatever. I mean, it's it's
it's fine. Everybody's a little bit different. But I've always
enjoyed the when everybody gets together at the table, it
tries a bunch of different friend things. Our friends Mark
and Oudre, they like to do that. Mark as long
(05:55):
as I've known him as one of those who's like,
let's get one of everything and try everything, because it's
an experience. It's not just why lock into one dish
that may or may not be the end all be
all for you. Yeah, Jody and I did that last weekend.
We just went and we got small plates where we
went just advertisers and small plates because I didn't want
to commit to any one thing. Maybe that's what it is.
(06:16):
It's noncommittal. Yeah, you know, but the uh but we
had a little bit of everything and it was great
and it wasn't too much food, and it was it
came out being the same price that two entrees would
have been so easily.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, I have a question to take it one step
further since you brought up the germ issue. I know
how Murphy is. He's particular. Do y'all fork forks or
do you use your own fork? Or how does that work?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I don't care. And we do share the fork if
it's if it's convenient. If it's not convenient, I'll just
if you tell me to reach over and stab a
Brussels sprout, I'll do it with my own. But I'm
totally eat off your fork. I'm sure I've used you
truth brush over the years, not that I meant to,
Did you know that, Murphy? Not that I ever meant
with it?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
As long as you're not cleaning something with it, that's fine.
Afraid to use it, that's great. You know. The only
thing for me with that is, you know, cup drinking
out of the same cup. I don't know if that's
from childhood or what, because my parents wouldn't really want
us to all drink as kids out of the same cup.
So I will not drink out of the same cup.
And it doesn't mean I don't love him ever, but
(07:17):
I will not do that well, And somebody would probably say, well,
it's the same thing sharing a fork.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
In my head.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It's so funny that you mentioned that because you were
talking about our friends Mark and Outer. We've eaten with
them a lot, and the last time we had a
big fun meal with them. Not only are there food specials,
but drink specials. And one of the drink specials sounded
really good and you could see him light up, but
he was drinking Martini's and I was like, I'll have that,
and he goes good, I need to try it. And
(07:45):
I got that crazy little drink that was in the
copper cup. Remember I don't even remember.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Well that's alcohol, you know, No, it was some sort
of special mule and he wanted to try it had
ginger and stuff like that, and he did try, but
he kept he stayed with his Uh, martenis so yeah,
when I like drink, I.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Thank you and I share drinks every now and then. Yeah,
you got to taste this. Well.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
See it's and again it's probably based on nothing scientific,
but alcohol to me is a little bit different because
it's probably gonna kill whatever's in there.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
No, you can say it was going to kill. But
because you didn't care anymore, your three.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Drinks in it doesn't matter what's on that glass.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Anyway. I'm so glad that you're so generous with the
that we do that because I know that not I
do know my parents. I never witnessed them doing a
lot of that. We ate together a lot. We even
went out to eat. My dad loved to go out
to eat. That was a treat for our family. Love
to take us out to eat. But I don't remember.
Now that doesn't mean they didn't, but I don't remember
(08:46):
them sharing food, And to me, I love that we
do that.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, I don't remember. My dad had particular tastes, so
he would always go for the special thing on the
menu that it's you know, nobody else wanted to eat.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Maybe he was hoarding his food.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Maybe yeah, strategy might it might have been the sharing
of appetizers. But that's a really good question. I don't
I mean, as a kid, I don't know that I
remember that either. I remember my dad always stole French
fries from all of us. That's a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
