Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time for another episode of The Murphy saman Jody after
the Show podcast. This is actually what you won't hear
on the radio show. We only do it right here.
Every day. Something we just hang out a little bit
longer is really what it is. Right.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I was mentioning to you guys a little earlier about
my son Sammy and celebrating his birthday, and the one
thing he wanted was a recipe for this monkey bread
which I used to call coffee cake, that he used
to make when they were little, right, And he said
he wanted to try it. He hadn't had it in years,
and he actually took the recipe. I sent it to him,
and he made it on his birthday. And it just
(00:33):
caught me off guard because you do things when your
kids are little, and he can be routine and you
don't even think about it. And then here he is,
turning thirty, coming back around saying thing he used to
make all the time, I haven't had it in years.
Can I have the recipe? And it's like it's little
things like that that hit you, like, okay, good, at
(00:54):
least I did that part of raising them right. And
Maddie with the puppy chow and then every man. They'll
bring up one of the kids will bring up a
meal that I haven't cooked in a while, and it's like,
you haven't made that? Can we do that? And it's like, oh, wow,
you like that? Okay, Okay, do y'all have that with
your kids too?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yes? Slowly starting to show itself. Your kids are older
than ours, Sam.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I mean, yeah, I think you kind of have to
get through the teen phase and started you're kind of
into your own life. Not that they don't do that now,
because there are things that they point out. They absolutely
know the quirks of me and Jody, and so they
any of those things that Mom, remember the time you
did this, But but there absolutely are special things that
they'll bring up when they start talking about vacations we've
(01:37):
been on, yeah, and those kind of things, the very
vivid memories. Yeah, that's the kind of stuff that's you know,
it's it's really cool. You know you you thought it
was just a vacation, but to them, it was really
something over the top.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I think what sticks out to me right now, I
know that sort of stuff is coming, Like when they
grow up and leave home, they're going to be blowing
my phone up for this recipe or that how do
you do this? Because they don't really care as much
how to learn and this stuff now, but they will
when they start trying to use it in their lives.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
It's taken for granted now and nobody goes about it.
And then it's like, I'm glad because I hit my
mom up for all kinds of recipes when I first
got married, and it's like, you know that thing, how
do you do that?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It probably makes her feel half.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
The time you can't do it right, you know, exact
exactly the way she did it.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
But it's nice what I notice, and you, if you
think about it, Murphy, this will resonate with you. Also,
what I notice is when we have the opportunity to
just hang out all together as a family, how much
they lap that up. For instance, the other night, when
Phoebe had a friend over and I suggested because I
(02:39):
didn't want to just watch a movie and we were
home and they were going to be wide awake for
more for hours, I said, why don't you guys paint?
Because I just bought Phoebe some new canvases and there
was painting. There's plenty of room and light, like they're
like they were both like yeah, And that's when she said, Mom,
why don't you come paint with us? And they wanted
you to come paint to Murphy and we didn't have
enough canvases. You played music and hung out with us great,
(03:02):
And when I mentioned not, don't you know I was
feeling tired, They're like, come on, please, phoebe really so
what she craves and what they crave right now and
show us that they want is the time. So that's
super cool with you know, this vacation we're doing coming up.
You know, even if it's they they want to do,
they want your attention in the small little ways. So
(03:23):
when you read those headlines and you hear that that's true.
They don't want things from you. They want your time
and attention. So if we say let's play games. If
I mentioned let's play games family game night, they will
hold me to it because they really love and need that.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, I know what they're going to want from you, though,
when when they, you know, get older. Pumpkin bread yep, well,
I think because Jenny's pumpkin bread, You've always made it
around the holidays. That's what the house you know, fills
with that wonderful smell and.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
They've never really made it.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
They've helped me, but right, well, it's not because that.
What I'm saying is one day, it's that smell, that happiness.
That's why they'll come back and ask that because you
making pumpkin bread is one of those things that Sam's
talking about.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Don't want to recur.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You know what you can say, Wow, you can find
it at Murphy Samonjody dot com.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, you know. It's funny is that recipe has been
the same since I sort of tweaked it and made
it my own. Our neighbors when the kids were small
where we lived in a small a small house. Our
neighbor would make it every year and then walk over
and go, I can't get it to be like yours.
What am I doing wrong? And I couldn't tell her
because I'm like, this is the recipe. I think her
(04:33):
oven was different. So it's so weird baking and cooking
like that can be different.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It is because I've used your recipe before too, and
it's like it's a sudden taste like what Jodi made.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Really, yeah, I really am not doing anything different than what.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I'm sure you're not.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's just well, I mean, I think your special ingredient
is love. Okay, maybe that's n.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
No, But I hope you need to put some love
into mind. Yes I don't have it.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Hope for that from our children, and I know it
will happen. And those are the little bitty rewards of parenting.
What you're really saying is monkey bread aside. What you're
really saying is that you feel like you have been
impactful as a parent, and you're seeing it in little ways.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And then and that's the whole thing. It's that, it's
the little little ways. It's not like, okay, when you're
a parent, it's like, man, I sure hope they grow
grow up and know how to drive and all that.
This is this is a breakfast, This is a cake,
a monkey bread. Yeah, those are the ones that it's like,
oh really, you like want that?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I think that's the fuel that kept my grandmother going
as long as you know, she lived through in ninety
seven years old. And so she you know, because all
of us, all of our grandchildren, were very much into
how she made things, and you know, Christmas and all
the major holidays, everything was about that. And she loved
having another generation of that too share with You could
(05:54):
see that those kind of things, you know, fed her
and maybe that's different. We're not there yet, but maybe
it was also differ and for her because she experienced
that joy twice. It was something that she had already
done with her children, and then she got to do
it with us. Yeah, his grandchildren, And I'm sure that
was rewarding, you know, for her, and that's why she
continued to do all of those things as long as
she could, you know, hosting things at her house and
(06:16):
making all the things that they she knew that we
loved and it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah. My other oldest son, Will, who was overseas right now,
he actually messaged me recently and said he was talking
with some of his friends there about a recipe, another
recipe that I used to make for dinner, and he
was wondering if I could share it. And it's like nice, yeah,
but where you are, I don't know what ingredients you're
gonna be able to get, so you're gonna have to
(06:41):
have to wing this one.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
But it was like again, it was one of those
oh wow, you paid attention. Yeah, Yeah, she
