Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks for hanging out with us after the show. It's
another episode of the Murphy, Sam and Jody podcast. And
you know, Sam, just in time for my birthday, Jody
apparently sent my dad into a depression. All right, So
I'm just exaggerating a little bit there. I didn't actually, no,
I know, you didn't mean to. Actually, this was really
it was touching. I wouldn't have thought about this when
I showed up at the surprise party that Jody threw
for me. You know, one of the things that was
(00:22):
there there were some a few pictures of me as
a baby.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You as a teenager.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
He was a teenager, and they were like a couple
of other early.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Photos bake glasses and mullet wearing college student.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah yeah, right, well so you know, so they were there.
It was kind of I didn't know if that was
the prank part, or if this was to tell a
little bit of a life story to friends or what
it was.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It was a little bit of a life story. I
wasn't trying to prank you, that's all reality. Well, if
you broke out my big hair nineteen eighty nine pictures,
everybody be like, yikes, some hair for cruse shirt, right, but.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I got to hand it to you, you know. I
mean that the pictures were perfect, that you had food,
and you I had one of my favorite cakes, and
you know it was not a large gathering, which was
actually it was good because too much would be it
would have been difficult to visit with everybody. So I
think everything that Jody decided to do was perfect. But
there was one thing that she told me afterwards. You
know that it's just like, hey, so I kind of
(01:15):
upset your dad a little bit. I'm like, what did
you do?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Of all the people in my life. I don't want
to upset anybody, but he is just so special, your dad,
my father in law. Okay, So I wanted those pictures there.
And Dane Murphy's dad is famous for he loves old photos.
He has a million photos.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Had old videos too, and so.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Wednesday of last week, I sent him a message, Hey, hey, Dane,
I've got one or two cool pictures. I'm going to
put by the cake. One of them. I'm going to
frame him put by the cake. But if you want
to bring any pictures, I know you have a bunch.
And he sent back immediately, Oh, I'd love to, you know,
that's I have a few thousand, uh huh, And so
I said great. And then he gets to the party
(01:56):
and he only brought a couple of pictures and that's fine.
I didn't question that. But towards the end of the party,
visiting and all that, I said, thank you for bringing
the pictures and he said, I'm sorry I didn't bring more.
He said, when I started going through them, it kind
of got to me and I got a little upset.
And you know, you know he lost his wife, your mother, Yeah,
my mother passed away three years ago, and that's that's
(02:18):
that's going down some serious memory. When he told me
that and then they left the party, I was just
I was upset too. So the party continues, but I
sent him a message. I said, I'm so sorry you
had those moments when going through the pictures. I can
only imagine that the paths it must have took you
in your mind and your heart. Love you, Dane, And
he sent back immediately this is that night. Thanks for
(02:40):
those comments. I've looked through some old photos before without
a problem, but this time it was different. For whatever reason.
All is fine now, and thanks for such a wonderful party.
Love you all. Yeah, So I didn't mean to do
that obviously.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Now I'm really I'm proud of my dad for a
couple of different reasons. He that's the kind of thing
he would have even necessarily you know, shared or said
in the past, and he's realistic about it. But I
think that's how he's so strong, seemingly strong through all this,
is that he just man, he tackles everything heads up.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know. He didn't have to tell me that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
He says what he needs to say and then he
moves forward if you ask him, you know, I mean,
how he does it. It's like one foot in front
of the other. He'll tell you that, and so I
just I mean, that's one of those things I love
and admire about my dad. My dad's been through a
couple of things in his life that have been, you know, challenging,
and so so I'm really I'm very proud of him
for that. Yeah, it's I guess if I could picture
(03:32):
that too. You already have the emotion of your son
hitting the sort of a milestone birthday and you're going
back and you're looking at it and you're seeing the
pictures of siblings, and then you're seeing the picture of
you know, my mom and all those things together that
takes you right back. Anybody who's a parent knows that
in your head that's always it's always going to feel
like yesterday, no matter how long ago.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We were telling Taylor this that night when we got
home after the party. I was when I was telling
Taylor about Dane said that this is why he didn't
bring as many pictures, and she was like, oh no,
And I said, Taylor, you know that's because it sent
him back to that time, which probably is, you know,
a high light in his life. I know for me,
I said, me and your dad and you and Phoebe
(04:11):
when y'all were little, that's a highlight in my life
and always will be. And it's slowly slipping away because
you're sixteen now you're going to be seventeen and three weeks.
And I said, of course, that would make anybody emotional,
and I'm but I also knew that he would love
to bring out old pictures. So it was a what
do you call that catch twenty two or whatever, because
he loves to dig into old pictures and show me
(04:33):
old pictures. Every time I come over to the house.
He wants to show me a picture of you that
I've never seen before, and he does.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Trust me. I don't need it.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I've seen him anyway. He did something else that you
would love. I didn't tell you about.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The next day after the party, he text me out
of the blue and says, I would like to send
a thank you note to Carol and Randy for hosting
your friend Randy, who's we had the party in their
high and he could send me their cell phone numbers.
I would like to send a text to each. So
I did. He'll hook him up with those numbers, and
I'm sure he sent them something lovely already.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah that's cool. See, that's what's cool with my dad too.
He's seventy five years old and sending text all right, exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, you know, I actually, Murphy. I don't know if
you knew this, but I actually got to spend some
time with your dad too. And I've never talked to
your dad at length. I've never met him. I mean,
I've never been at occasions with him too many were
we could talk, right, But so I started talking to
him about what you had told me about him being
interested in my Blue Angel's flight.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, time I piloted the Blue Angels. Yet so he
was asking me all kind of well, what about this
and what about that? And he knew about the little
maneuver you have to do to keep the blood in
your head. And then he starts telling me about how
he's this many hours away from a pilot's license when
he was young, taking ten dollars ten dollars lessons.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, and he just couldn't.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
It got to the point where he couldn't do it anymore,
and he's like five hours away. He said he had
all kind of solo flights that he did and everything.
It's like, yeah, wow, that is so cool. Yeah, I
was kind of surprised that he didn't and I never
knew that.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Did you ever tell you why he didn't?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I think for it was too expensive. I mean, not
the lessons, but what would come after, just but you know,
the cost of fuel and flying a plane and those
kind of things. It was just, you know, for him,
it was it cost too much money to do that.
I think maybe in hindsight he wishes that he had
just gone ahead and done it. But at least he
got to, you know, I mean, he really did. He
did solo a few times and yeah, and He's one
of the more knowledgeable people for aviation that I know
(06:32):
for somebody who doesn't do it all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
You know, I did ask him, I said, is this
like a bicycle, like if you happen to wind up
in a cockpit of a single engine plane. He goes, yeah,
I could probably do He said, so, I could do
it once you learn it, it's pretty simple.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Wow, that's so.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I think that the technolo well he's done some of
the simulators, so maybe he's a little more familiar with
the technology too.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah. Every time I've ever mentioned him that you got
to fly with the Blue Angels, he makes this noise
like yeah, and like he and he would have wanted to.
And then when I say Murphy could have also but didn't,
and he was like, oh, man, I think he wanted
to kind of live vicariously through you, Murphy if you
would have done it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
But I tell Sam's story right after the point where
he was about to pass out.
