Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks for hanging out with us a little bit longer.
Here's a new episode of The Murphy Sam and Jody
after the show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
In our last episode, Okay, here's a little quick brain
teaser for you here, everybody, Okay, Sam, whose phone numbers
do you know?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
I know Murphy's.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Yes, I know mine. I know my mom's. Yeah, and
that's it anymore. And the kid's phone numbers if I
had to really strain, but they're just in my phone.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, yeah, I see what you're saying. I know where
Sam's going with this. The only ones that I remember.
I remember my parents' phone number.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Of course Jody's naturally.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Actually easy one.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I think I do know your Sam, I guess because
I had to dial a lot before I ever put
it in as a contract.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
We used to call it.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Well.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
That's the funny thing is because I know three phone
numbers together, Murphy yours, I know Jody's. Sad, don't know
any of my kids phone up? Prove it.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Say it, Sam, say their numbers as.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
A matter of fact. And I know where any ex'es.
I know one of my ex wives.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
The only reason for that is we bought them together.
We were married so the numbers are one digit off.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Maybe I know which one.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I know which wine because I remember thinking, oh, look
at those numbers. How cute.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, yeah, I was cute at the time.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Say she you remember hers because she was your favorite.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's actually it's aggravating because sometimes people when they're calling her,
they call me yes, and I was like, wow, no,
she used to be mine, and.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You're probably the last person they want. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Oh, I'm so sorry, But I'm just wondering. It's like,
of all, because I know we all have smartphones, and
it does help us because I've got, you know, maybe
one hundred phone numbers I have to remember. I don't
have to remember it, but you think of okay, so
which ones do you remember? And I only remember three numbers?
And it's not family?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, well the family in a way.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I don't commit anything to memory at all anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Jody, it's Jody and Sam.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I have a wife, but I'm not quite sure of
her name.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
No, I mean, you know, when I'm when I get
a new phone number and put it in my phone,
I don't. In fact, you know, my dad is now
a smartphone guy. He doesn't. He still has a landline
at home. And I remember that phone number. But I
couldn't tell you his smartphone number either. But I mean
I can look it up just like you, Sam. But
everything else, Yeah, it's all contact based. I don't think
about it anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Here's the deal, though.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I love that Taylor and Phoebea our daughters know they
know our phone numbers, and I think that's hugely important.
They don't have to have the device in their hands
to call us.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Maybe I shouldn't pay attention and remember their.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Right I don't know theirs, which makes me probably a
bad mom.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know what, now that you mentioned it, my kids
all know my number, Yeah, without going into the phones,
because they've all spitt it back at me before.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Sweet wow, Sweet, Yeah, I like it. It's just different.
I mean, but there was a time when you had
to remember people's phone numbers. Yeah you had to. Well
I have to you to look it up.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
But still Actually, there is one other phone number that
I remember that just jumps right out of it. Okay, there's
too hold on, it's all coming back to me. There
we go, my grandmother's phone number because she kept the
landline all the way until she was ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
And that's your life. That you probably started calling her
the first.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
She was one of those that she did have a mobile,
but she did what many did, turn it on if
she was at home. She turned it off.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, you only need it in the car because it's
a car fright.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
But uh. And I also remember a teacher's phone number
that I had in the eleven Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So what was her name? No, it wasn't on her.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It was a he. It was just a mentor. He
was one of my mentors, and I wound up having
to call him a lot because he was also one
of my first bosses. So I remember that. But I
think that's it. But it's weird. I have something like
that can jump out at you. You know, somebody will
say it and you're like, white, how in the world
that I remember that phone number? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I do remember my my home number growing up. I
know it now. I mean the line it's been disconnected,
but I can tell you the number.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
The number you used to have to know, and then
this number you gave your friends.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I was an emergency number everything.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And then of course I remember the stories that my
parents used to tell about before they were area codes.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I don't remember that with the words. Well, I guess.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I mean they were kind of growing up in that
time where there was still the old school changes, and
I guess that means that they had people, you know,
the operators, the actual old school operators that had the
chords that you see in the movies. And you know
what I'm talking about. No, I mean that really predates me,
but I just remember them talking about that.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, the old phone numbers used to have it would
be a word, was the exchange, like Beechwood four, five, seven,
eight nine. I didn't know this Beachwood was those three
first three numbers became the first three of your phone number. Yeah,
And I think.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Jody, it's your grandfather that talks about the party line.
They used to call it a party line, not a
house party. It was like, no, they call them party lines.
I guess because in the country, back in the day.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Back in the way previous in the country.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
They you know, you only had certain number of circuits
or whatever, and so you had to share phone lines
with people. You had to wait for somebody to call
to finish before you could do your thing, and there
wasn't anything private about it. So it's you know, if
you were going to talk, man, you better be prepared
that everybody else, you know, whoever was on the line,
was going to hear what you had to say.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, you know, I feel like talking to about all this,
And I think too back to when, you know, when
I first started talking on the phone to my friends,
when I was a teenager in junior high end high school.
At first, it was in the middle of the family room,
in the kitchen. I was on the phone, like when
I first when a boy first started calling me, I
was on the phone in the kitchen, and my dad
will walk in and he knew I was on the
(05:19):
phone with a boy, and he'd give me a look
and I would watch.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I would just blush because I just was.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
It was also new to me and all this so
it was like you couldn't you didn't really have private conversations.
Fast forward to then I got a phone in my
room later as I grew up, and that was a
big deal to me. And then fast forward to today.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Our kids have.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Their phones almost all the time, unless you take them
at night. We do take our girls' phones at night
at you know, before bad time. It's like there ares
give them to us, plug them in. But they can
have private conversations and not even conversations text, whatever however
they choose with whatever app back and forth all the time.
They have more privacy. Not know that that's not sure
(06:01):
that that's a good thing or not, but they do
have more privacy than we did.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Well, you know what, maybe we should install a party
line at the house.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Right, yeah, baby Jody. The other thing too, because we
had our phone in the living room, so whenever you
wanted to talk to somebody, you can only get two
feet away.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
The thing that we had not in our room, but
was when we got that long phone cord. Yeah, that
was the one. You could actually picked the phone up
and go into them and close the door fifteen feet away. Yeah,
I can't hear me now.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I used to go to the pantry.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Yeah, missed any part of the show, y'all at Murphysamon
