Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks for hanging out with us after the show. It's
the Murphy, Sam and Jody after the show podcast or
part of the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah, Murphy, okay with me sharing a text I sent
you yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Oh yes, So let me go back and look really no.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
No, I've got it. I know.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And I'm I just because I want to have this
discussion here. And Sam, you'll know why. I believe in
taking breaks as far as work and life goes. I
am not a marathon or I'm a sprinter. You know
this about you. Yeah, And so Murphy is a raging
workaholic and he works all the time and and.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
She said work.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I'm not sure I heard it correctly there, ye, work aholic.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
And so we were just texting back and forth about
how he wanted to get everything done, and I was like,
you've got to take a break. You don't feel good.
I gottat everything done. So I sent this which pilot
do you want flying? You the one who is jacked
up on coffee because he hasn't stopped since sunrise or
the one who had two to three great flights with
rest breaks in between. Meaning you're your own pilot. You've
(01:02):
got to take breaks if you're going to be any good.
And I feel like that was the best analogy I
could have given you.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, I think it's a wonderful analogy. Although if you
talk to a pilot, I don't know if it's actually correct.
I don't think that they I don't know what kind
of breaks they get, because aren't they usually run from
playing to plane. I mean when they take breaks, their
breaks are like a day at a time. It still works.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
You're missing my point, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's not about the it's not about the pilot's schedule.
It's about the passage one do you want? You want
one that's that that that is clear thinking or one
that's burned out?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Right, That's what it's about.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
What's funny about that Murphy as she posted the same
thing on Facebook and when when I read it, I'm thinking,
who is she talking about? And then that the said
Sparky's Murphy.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
So now it's an analogy that I think is you
need to remember that a lot of people do.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
There's too much to do.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That doesn't mean you have to do it all without
taking a break, because it's not good for you.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yes, and we've been in a world where we multitask
and have a brazilion things going on at once. I
think that that is a that's a condition that extends
well beyond those of us who are self proclaimed workaholics.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
And we are, you know, showing our kids that that's
the way. I don't want to show my kids that
that's the way to just boom boom boom one thing
after another.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
It's not normal.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yep, I think I think it's a good point. I
got an elevator with somebody.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Huh. However, no, no, no, no, no, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And what did I do after you sent that yesterday?
I stopped. I did at I had to. What happened
was it was kind of silly because I just couldn't
see straight. I literally had reached a point where it's
like I still have seven or eight more things to
do today and I just I could not see straight.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And you get mentally overwhelmed by that list. Lurking.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
But also, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
About our American culture. Tell you it's an American culture too,
because isn't it true that like in in France they
take all their vacation time they do they drink wine
every night, they stop Anyway, it's not about wine.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
But anyway, it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Is a totally American thing because we are between social
media and connecting and staying on top and being materialistic.
It's just having it. Yes, it's part of the American condition.
I think that we feel we have to work like that.
But what I wanted to tell you about was a
woman who got in the elevator with me yesterday morning.
And it was funny because I was holding two cups
of coffee.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Drinking.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I know, No, they weren't both for me. One was
for Jody, one was one was for me. They were
going up and I was making a joke about that.
It's like, yeah, I know, like I'm carrying that much.
So you know me, I'm just I said, I'm the
chronic multitasker. And she says, well, you know, science proves,
and when somebody starts the sentence with science proofs, But
it was wonderful the way she said this. She said,
you know, science, science proves that the multitasking is a
(03:53):
it's a complete fallacy because what the brain does is
that it shifts between things, but it can't do two
things at once. And she's right about that. And then
of course she says, what that means really is you know,
here on every day, what we're doing is we're just
half blanking everything is It was from the way that
she referenced it was really kind of funny that because
and my grandfather had a totally different way of saying this,
(04:17):
but and he never told this to me. He told
this to my dad years ago when he was dating
my mom, because she was sitting in the car and
he had his arm around her, and he's like, look,
when you're driving, you know, a car, you can't put
your arm around your girlfriend because you're going to do
two things poorly. And he's like, you know what, that's
true analogy, So what you're saying, it's not just about
(04:38):
taking breaks. I think what we have to do is
stop trying to do too many things at one time,
because the reason we stress out is we absolutely our
brains can't do that. It's constantly changing back forth. So well,
and I think you know what what science actually also
is saying about it now is that you you start
to create patterns in your own brain where it can
(04:58):
become kind of destructive to memory and other things. You
literally you actually start to hurt yourself long term, not
just the fatigue.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And I've heard that Americans don't know how to relax
as well as other people are.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Saying that as though we're audience, you know, all those
crazy Americans are.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
And have you ever felt that way? Of course, like
you don't know what to do with your downtime. That's
not that's not good either.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
That happens. That happens on vacation the first couple of
days of vacation. You've got to like, what am I
supposed to be doing?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Feeling this I.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Should be doing because usually right now I'm doing this
and I'm doing that. It's like you're supposed to be relaxing. Remember, yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, it's funny trying to fit downtown is downtime is
just supposed to be that, right, Yeah, downtime not scheduled.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Something's one more thing I wanted to say and wanted
to just discuss is that I don't know why we
feel this. It's almost like that it's negative to want
to stop or you feel like you have to apologize.
If somebody calls you and you're taking an app and
you answer and they're like, oh my gosh, did that
(06:03):
dis serb you? And you're like, no, no, you try
to pretend like you're we're in asleep. Why why feel
guilty about resting?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
You know we did probably shouldn't answer the phone in
the first place, or that I heard that that itself
is would be part of the problem.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
But it's just a question to ask yourself.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Why do you have to feel apologetic for not busting
it constantly? You don't, you don't. It's okay to not
bust it constantly.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Hyway, Murphy, When she sent you that text yesterday with
the airline pilot analogy, did you reply to Jody and
tell her? Did you set her straight that you know
airline pilots don't really?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
No, he didn't even respond, which let me know that
you were resting, which was good.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Actually I didn't get the message until after, which is great.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
