Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody after the show podcast.
You can also follow us on YouTube, by the way,
if you haven't done so, that's the video version of
the podcast, and we just hang out after the show
a little bit longer. Love for you to be a
part of things. So it's the holiday season and Jody,
Jody has started something new around the house, and I mean,
(00:20):
I think it's because of the holidays necessarily, but it's
been noted for me because it's everything that she's doing
while she's putting up Christmas trees or standing in the
kitchen wrapping presents or even eating dinner. Now she's wearing
shoes in the house, you know, all the time, all
the time. And Jody, you have to understand, has always
been barefoot since I've known her, well, not not.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Everything, also very even fancy events addicted too.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
So that's that's the irony someone once pointed out about.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Me, when it's totally true. But being barefoot, Yeah, when
you're in your comfort place, barefoot is what you you know,
is what you do. And but the it was a
sudden change, and the reason I noticed it, I might
not have noticed it if Jodi was just wearing her
flat flats. Right, she's wearing the things with the three
inch heels on them.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
The ugg slides, So they're.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Not really three inch heels. It's the whole thing is
three inches.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's an ug slide. It's a slide with almost a platform.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
That's all.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Because you know what, it's the most comfortable thing I
can walk around in the house in Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, so I love that thing.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So why are you wearing your shoes in the house.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I'm trying it.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Murphy's so weird it out. He's like, why are you
wearing shoes all over the house?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Now, Well, here's one problem with the platform slides. Now
that I know what they're calling him, I remember that
it makes you taller than me, which drives me a
little crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I'm sorry. I had that problem with too.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You can get some too, Murphy. I did have crocks.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It made me an inch taller, but.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Anyway, really not really Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
So when we were at my cousin Crystal's home for Thanksgiving,
I'm also very much at home there. They're like my sisters,
my cousins, and we spent half the day in pj's
and so I'm barefooted and at one point you know
when you're in a different home, you know, you're not
as familiar with I hit my toe on her sofa.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, and it hurt badly.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Oh yeah, Actually it.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Didn't look so hot for it didn't look so sweet
for a couple of days. But anyway, it really hurt.
And Crystal was like, why are you walking around barefooted?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Anyway? And I'm like, have you met me at home?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
She relaxing, I am, I like, for my I like
to fee, It's part of it for me. And she said,
you know, she said, I had a P. Dietriss tell me.
And I'm thinking, who's got a P. Dietriss on dial?
But she said she had someone in the medical field
tell her once that it's really bad for you to
(02:56):
be walking around barefooted, even in your own home.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
She said, because you have no support, it's bad for
your feet. And I'm like, what you know?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
That bothered me because I do want to continue to
wear the heels and the platforms.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I love shoes.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Years ago barefooted, but well whatever, so of course I'm like,
thank you, I'll take that under advisement. We get home,
I start wrapping presents and putting up trees and doing
all the things I do at home, like laundry whatever,
walking around, and I started I would put my slides on.
And that's when Murphy noticed and asked me. So, I
want you to know, I looked it up. There's a
(03:33):
couple of schools of thought here. A lot of people
do not wear shoes in the home. Not just for
the country girl comfort, that is my reason, but they
don't wear them in the home because they don't want
to track in germs and dirt. The more you wear
your shoes in and out, in and out, you bring
in the outside. You know, there's a lot of people
who you take your shoes off at the door, and.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Right, that's the reason.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
But the other thing is, and he's right, however, wearing
supportive indoor shoes or slippers can benefit foot health by
preventing pain. Blah blah blah any foot issues that you've
ever had.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
And I've had foot issues. I had foot surgery a
few years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Well that's actually nerve thing. That's one reason your toe
kind of got caught in the sofa, right.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well whatever, yeah, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's yeah, because Jody had a I always forget the
name of this, which it was mo'sma Morton's neuroma, which
sounds like a deli.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
It was a nerve, a damaged nerve.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
The running injury from when you were doing the half marathons,
and so when you had that removed, now you can't
actually move that toe.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
It's the one toe that it doesn't really and.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So you're not gripping, so it's very easy for that
toe to get caught up where it doesn't need to
be caught up, right, I mean even like on a
if you're walking across carpet. I think it's happened to
you before. Were drags and all of a sudden it's
like gets pulled. Yeah, it's But are you more comfortable
now that you're wearing shoes? Do you like different?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
For me?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
No, I'm very aware of it.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I'm very aware that I'm in the home and I'm
in shoes, and so it feels weird. That's why I'm
wearing the most comfortable ones I own.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
But I do.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I'm going to try and continue trying it because I
want to take care of my body, my feet, my bones, whatever,
and I do want to look and I love shoes,
you know, I love heels. I am going to be
hard to get it's gonna be hard for me to
give up heels one day. People have been telling me
that forever. You do not wear heels when it's not necessary.
I'm wearing heeled boots today and it's like, well, do
(05:32):
tell me one day you're not gonna be able to
wear those.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I'm thinking, well, until.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Why does it people even say that when you think
about it, I don't know one.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Day honestly, because they're there at that place where they can't.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Because they don't mind their own business.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
It's just a natural thing to see.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I'm not country. I'm city all the way.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yes you are.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
And when I get in the house, shoes come off.
And it's not a fel with me. It's just like
before I even change clothes into something comfortable, the shoes
come off. It's a comfort I just there's no need
to have it on my feet.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
There's that thing that part of that beginning scene and
die Hard before he oh, well, he takes off the
shoes for the reason of he had it was nervous
on the flight and when he got into his John
McLain we're talking about, by the way, from die Hard scene.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
The movie opens with him sitting next to a guy
on a plane who's explaining.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Right, once you get home, and once you put your
feet down, take your shoes off and you know, rub
the floor whatever it makes you feel grounded or whatever.
I remember going, ah, yeah, I love to take my
shoes off, get my feet.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
But that was the whole scene, Cetter, What do they
call that in the movie when you're predicting the future?
What's that called?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
No idea from the mission?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No, you've talked shadowing, thank you. That foreshadows the whole
glass scene later.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, he didn't have shoes on.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know for me, so yes, I like to pop
my shoes off, but I can't do barefoot. That's right.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
If he doesn't, that's why never have.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I mean, I'll either wear socks or I'll wear slides,
right or something like that, But I'm not walking on
a floor barefoot.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It's funny people are either one way or the other,
isn't well.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I mean we've got dogs, and you know, you got
hair and uh, and then you know, additionally into that
because look, people step on things, and I'm in really
good shape, but being a Type one diabetic, I can't
also afford to have something. You know, you just don't
think about that. You take it for granted until you
step on something that shouldn't be on the ground in
the first place, and it hurts. So so yeah, I don't.
(07:30):
I just don't like that. And if I'm going into
somebody's house and I take my shoes over the door,
my socks are clean, obviously, it's a big deal, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, but I got understand it.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Around your house with you, you know, somebody breaking pickling jars
all the time.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Okay, once. No, Murphy's just that way.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
You've been that way, you know, Like talking about this
makes you realize you're either a shoes on at home
person or shoes off at home person. Yeah, and you
have always and I just always kind of thought.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Well, Murphy's a city boy.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You're a city boy too, is what you're saying, Sam,
But you like them off, so just so you know,
more dirt in the home if you bring the shoes
and wear the shoes and you're tracking things in. But
better for your feet, for your bones, and you're all
of that if you wear something comfortable, at least something
support support.
