Speaker 1 (00:02):
Got another Murphy Sami Jody after the show podcast coming up, Well,
after the show, that's usually when we do it, right
and Sam the ultimate regifter?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, yeah, you know, Chad told me he regifted me
this year for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Right when he gave it to you. I thought that
was weird.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That was at different, but it happened again a couple
times over the holidays. You got this was the regift
Christmas for me. Yeah, I'll tell you all about it
in the podcast. Okay, okay with that, that was good stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Okay, Well, speaking of good stuff that you like, I know,
especially when I think of Peer One, I think of
Sam because years ago was here one. Yeah, I really
do too. In fact, your love of it is what
made me venture in there.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah. Well Peer one is the original world Market minus
the food, right, Yeah, it's World Market Kirklands. It's that.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
It's one of those types. Anyway, they're closing about half
of their stores in US and Canada, about forty two stores.
What's up e commerce? Yeah, Amazon, it's the typical thing
of they've had. They've been on a sales decline for
nine consecutive quarters or something like that. Yeah, and so
(01:08):
you know they'll still have an online presence, and they'll
still have the biggest stores, the most successful stores open
brick and mortar. But nine hundred and forty two stores
is a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, that's kind of a bummer to hear because to me,
part of that Peer one experience is the smell. I'm
walking in there and you know, I mean the lighting
and a way, it's just what's the.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Last thing you bought a Peer one? I can tell
you what I bought.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Probably a candle holder, might have been some.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Place mats there you go to Place Mats.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
The thing with me with Pier one, Pier One, to me,
I know, I have the home Depot Lows thing where
if you go in there and you don't need anything,
you still wind up buying something.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Because it's cool.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Same deal, Yeah, Pier.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
One, Kirklands, it's all the same. If I go in
there and it's like, oh, I know, I know where
this could go.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
On the wall in the house, and they know that.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
You're coming out with a session. Yeah, you're coming out
with something.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
It's gonna be cyclical. We're gonna want more brick and
mortar stores in the future. Promise the last thing I
bought at Pier one was literally over the holidays, like
a day after when I go and buy wrapping paper.
I just happened to venture into one and I got
this incredible smelling apple pie candle. Yeah, it smells like
apple pie. Three wik Big on sale.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Pure one is always a great after Christmas sale too,
I know. But I haven't set foot in Pier One
in probably seven years, So maybe I'm an example of
one of the reasons that's fast. Mar Yeah, it's been
cracking me up. Jody mentioned earlier that we're gonna have
to return one of the gifts that we gave. You know,
Phoebe Santa brought all of his stuff. There were a
(02:33):
couple of special Mom and Dad gives it. We gave
and Jody had this beautiful print from Kirklands And there's
nothing wrong with that because it's I love Kirklands too,
and but it's Dolly Parton's Butterfly. It's part of a
commissioned collection, and because Phoebe is such a big Dolly
Parton fanatic.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, it was a great idea and.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I loved it. And so this thing's big, Sam just
so you know, to hide it, I had to go
through the fence in the backyard to get it to
the back of the house and into a closet.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Well, now we know where the dogs got the idea.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's a beautiful butterfly with all different colors, and the
middle of it, like the body of it what would
have been the caterpillar whatever is a guitar. It's really
lovely and I thought she would love it. And she
likes the picture, okay, but she doesn't like the warm
colors because she has cool colors in her room and
she's an artist and she doesn't want to mix all
that up.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So you know, I mean, I respect that, and so
no big deal. We'll return it, you know, refund and
so forth. But this thing is so big. How big
is it? It's so big that it is. I've watched
it move five times in the last week. You know.
It will be in the house, and then it will
be in the laundry room, and then it will be
in the back of Jody's car. But then we have
(03:47):
to load Jody's back of her car with something, so
it goes back into the house. Yesterday I went back
into Jody's car, and then this morning when I left,
I look over in the car port. It's like it's
in the car port.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Here's the deal, here's the reason I keep moving. I
want to take it back. I even tried to take
it back after Christmas with Phoebe in tow and I
didn't have the receipt and I'm like, well, you've got
me in your computer though, and like, well, but without
the receipt, you're not going to get exactly what you
paid for it, because now it's more discounted, so I'm
going to get less. And I'm like, I don't want
to get less than what I paid for it. We'll
(04:18):
just bring the receipt, bring it home, go look for
the receipt, which of course I can't find, which is.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
A good here's a little public service announcement. Whenever you
get there and they say, you want us to email
you the receipt, Yeah, good reason to have that done,
because you always will have it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I know I don't want the printed receipt because.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's easy and quick. I guess you don't have to
spell out.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Your why because I want to say no to the
email because I've got too much email coming in and
so I've gotten in the habit of saying no thanks
on the email.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And now you're stuck with a giant Dolly Parton print
in the car port, so we.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Don't what should ever miss a thing? And you know
on our Facebook page, Judy, you to Facebook Live a
couple of days ago in case you didn't get to
catch it in action, it's still there. And if you
want to get notifications for future Facebook lives, just go
ahead and like our Facebook page. Boom, it'll pop up
just like that.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
For Yeah, a lot of messaging going back and forth,
and when you message us, we get back to you
as much as we get back to you. And Gina
sent in a message the other day, Jody, I want
to let you know that I purchased both books that
you and Sam were talking about, Catch and Kill by
Ronan Pharaoh and Me by Elton John. She goes on
to write, I enjoyed them both, but I love Love
(05:33):
Loved Me the best. I actually got it on audio
book and this is what this is why I'm bringing
this comment up. Gina says that tarn Edgerton narrated me
on the audio book and it's absolutely wonderful to listen to.
There are moments in a rock star's life. He's the
actor that played Elton in the movie Rocket.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
So here he read the book and she goes on
to say he is animated, and when an American person
is being quoted, he does the American said, it's awesome.
I highly recommend this audio book to me.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
The best audio books are like that. You have some
books that are just narrated, but if you ever listen
to audiobooks, there are some that actually really do change
inflection and they're changing the moan in the book, and
that makes it a lot better. That makes it, to me,
easier to follow.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
And I did pick up the hard copy of the
Elton john Nee book. Murphy gave it to me for Christmas,
and I was reading it and it's good. But now
I kind of want to listen.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Does sound cool?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
It sounds awesome, So thank you for that, Gina. I
remember the first time I ever listened to a book,
an audiobook, and I've always been an avid read. I
love to read a book. I love to get lost
in a book, and so it was weird for me.
It's a long time ago. I had, like, you know,
headphones on and I was listening and it was like
a crime thriller and I found it. I giggled, I
(06:53):
couldn't because she was being so serious, you know. The
attacker approached and I was just I was like, really,
I can't. You can't get down with this.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
You mean more of the moments in a rock star's life.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Anyway, Thank you so much, Gina for letting us know that.
Hit us up anytime on Facebook or Instagram, Sam, you
would have loved it. I should have turned a camera
on last night at the house, you know, minding our own.
I'm walking into the laundry room, about to grab some
jeans out of the dryer, and I see something really
small and really fast. Run a pat not a dog. No,
(07:31):
something's really small, and I don't remember what word I used,
but I've murdered. You came running right.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
When Jody explained the first time, It's like, well, are
you sure you weren't seeing things? Because you couldn't really
describe what you saw. You know how, sometimes your peripheral
vision will trick you out. You think you see something,
you turn and look and there's nothing there.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
But in my life experience, when it's something that small
and that fast, it's a mouse. And so anyway, Murphy
goes out to the car port to open the door.
I'm gonna like, I'm gonna get and make him go outside.
So it's one of those laundry rooms attached to the
car things. He opens that door and what happens. The
mouse runs the other way Again. I'm the only one
(08:07):
who's seen it, but I saw it better this time,
and it's small and cute. So Phoebe's in her room
doing homework, Taylor's at work, Murphy and I are standing
there like, who's gonna go in because one of us
has to go in to find it, get it out,
do whatever. So Murphy puts shoes on, but he's so jumpy.
You know, there's a little tiny wrote it. You know,
(08:27):
there's a small room hit that he's in. You go
in there and you get jumpy.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You if I can see it, I don't have any problem.
I've done that before, right, I mean, I've done it
with Rose. When you can't see it and you don't
know where when it's gonna happen, that even freaks me out.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
So I mean, we have room to pick up things like.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So, I mean, once I finally got everything cleared by
the way and couldn't find him, I did the responsible
thing and we asked our youngest daughter.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I called her. She's so fierce, she's not afraid. She'll
pick up almost anything and so, but she didn't want
to touch it. She was like, okay, So she put
on her shoes and she went in there with a
flashlight behind the Washington driver.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, you too are outside, can you hear anything? Let
us know if you see anything in their FEBEs.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I really don't want to touch it, but she did
want to see it, you know, curiosity gets her anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
She's smaller than us too, though. She did have to
squeeze kind of into a smaller area. But we could
not find him. If I hadn't hurt him myself, I
would have said, Jodie, or you really sure you saw something?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
But what we did find in the corner behind the
dryer is a little hole though, so he went back out,
which made it so we get a fix. You guys
know that January is the number one month for divorce filings.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I hate hearing that.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Inside. There's a reason.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Though, you're wise up over the holidays. I have had
enough of this now, you know what? I bet you
the proximity and the interaction, and that the emotion and
everything in the holidays probably what yeah, I've had.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Enough all this. Yeah, that's exactly what he's trying to say,
just less formally. Yeah, Okay, you guys are not you're
a little off. According to those in the industry, attorneys,
I guess it's dubbed divorce month because they feel and
they really believe people couples, especially those with children, like
to stick it out through the holidays for the children's sake,
(10:20):
like they were already thinking of it, planning on it,
so they wait and do the holidays together. Also, like,
if you're going home for Christmas to see mom and.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Dad, you don't want to drop that one on them yet.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
That whole thing where they put that in the movies,
where people are keeping things under wraps, that's real, Like
you don't want to bring that up at Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I'm sure resolutions play in into it.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
That's the other thing in January, when it's time, when
it's January and you're you're zen, and you're starting over
and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
This is going to be my year. But I got
to get rid of her if.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
It was already in the works. It's the number one
month for filings. This is the time for fresh starts
for people.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, the month, the fees for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
And there's another year you your single you and yesterday,
by the way, was the number one day for online
dating spike. People don't want to date during the holidays.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, I get that that people don't want to date
over the holidays. That makes sense to me.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, completely, I'm working on You're taking all of this
all right. If you're in that space though of filing
in this month.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And you do have children, just be sensitive to that
it make sure they know it's not their fault and
because it messes with their stability for sure. I had
bought this Dolly Parton inspired picture for Phoebe's room because
Phoebe loves Dolly Parton. It was a Kirklands look. They
had a whole little line of Dolly Parton collection, if
(11:53):
you will.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Sham finds that to be somewhat hysterical, but.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
You have to buy those in pairs.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You know, you want to think about it. This canvas,
this is the biggest thing I've ever seen. Jody had
it covered two seats in the back for her to
take it back to Kirkerlanes. It's yeah, and so it
was very bulky and difficult to get around.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You've been wanting something for her room. I thought it
would look good on her in her room I was buying.
I bought it for her, taking a chance that she
might like it. She did like it, but not for
her room color scheme. Then, yeah, she didn't want to
mix warm colors with the cool colors of her light
yellow in her room.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
That shows you that art is just a very personal thing.
It is.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I shouldn't have bought it, but you understand. When I
saw it, I was like, oh, she.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Usually loves any of It's got Dolly's name on her picture,
She's got it.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Her Phoebe was sort of named after her Phoebe Buffet
and friends. And it's so funny to me how much
like Phoebe Buffet she is. Remember the pottery barn episode.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I got a pottery bar.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I know you did. I bought the same one. And
if she sees your table, she's gonna know that I like.
To her, I told her that ours was an original.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Why did you do that?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Because she hates pottery barn.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
She hates pottery barn.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Okay, bringing that up and bringing that in because our Phoebe.
When I did take it back by the way, yesterday
and exchange it. Well, I'm in exchange it. I just
got credit right because she doesn't like Kirklands. I said, what,
I know, it's pretty, but she said it's in her opinion,
(13:31):
it's it's all the same. You said it's all generic.
She said that, and I'm thinking so Phoebe Buffet I
did too.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
We clearly raised her wrong.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Jody, who's gonna guess who's gonna use her credit? Me? So?
How does the pin in the toe feel today?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I don't feel it. You had surgery on New Year's Eve?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
On my hammer today? Can't touch this? How many times
did you tell that joke? I've had a.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Couple of in my feed. I posted a picture of
the after math, you know, of the toe in a boot,
and I have a couple of people posted Hamerton.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yes. The interesting thing to note about this whole New
Year's Day, a New Year's Eve surgery is that I
know you squeaked it in before you're deductible. And that's great. Yeah,
that's fine, wonderful you should do that. You pay insurance
for a reason. But being the holidays, I offered to
drive you home, and so did Murphy, like, well, we'll
drive you home if you need and you were like okay, noted.
(14:32):
And so the day before I texted saym hey, do
you still need a ride tomorrow? You're all set and
the text back was no, my mom's gonna bring me. Also,
ex wife number two volunteered, and I was like.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Really, it was really nice, and I do believe it
was sincere on her post is mine.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
However, my thing is.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
She has brought me to things before, for when we
were married, and you know, when you're on the loopy
medicine and there's no telling what you're going to say. Yeah,
so I had to figure that in, you know, like
you telling me what.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You didn't want to be an undisciplined sim Exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I don't want anything that she doesn't know. I know,
but it's.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Water under the bridge and you don't need to bring
it back up when you're under and you thought maybe
I don't know, or just me with her in the
room might have had something.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
The problem is it's not really truth. Serum. You could
say anything, whether it's the truth or not. You know
what I mean, all kinds of craziness.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Ruth Serum, Well, I mean it does. It makes you
just say anything and.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
You lose all of your you know, well, you.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Know when you used to drink, Sam, you started loving everybody,
used to tell everybody so.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
And see there was that part to me saying something
like inappropriate, inappropriate, really regret, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Very smart move on your part.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Did you tell her? That's why? You know?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I said, my mom's got discovered. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I don't care what I tell my mom obviously. You know,
one thing I love about the three of us is
that even when we disagree on something, well, we're still friends.
It should be, yeah, I mean, it is the way
it should be. It's a respectful disagreement on something. And
I'm I'm a little bit surprised honestly about everybody's opinion
(16:26):
on break dancing becoming an Olympic sport.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
In twenty twenty four in Paris.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Because to me, it's legit. It's not a sport. Sam
doesn't think it's a sport. It's a lifestyle. It's it's
it's dancing.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It was a lifestyle and when it was, you know,
busted out on the scene in the eighties, throw your
card a couple of spins, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
But see, I submit for your review here, Sam, that
you know, rhythmic gymnastics and uh synchronized swimming. I mean
all for gymnastics, not giving me a good example ice skating.
They're all set to music and they are athletic, and
it takes a lot of athleticism to do this.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
There's that portion of gymnastics the floor that's a dance.
That's one of my favorites. I will say this or whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I don't know gymnastics, that's part of the rhythmic gymnastics.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Okay. To me, it sounded off at first like break
dancing as an Olympic sport, and I felt a little
more Sam like about it, like really dancing. You could
have a whole separate dancing Olympics because dances work. Trust
it really is. But then I'm thinking it's smart on
the Olympic Committee's part to put this in that is
(17:34):
going to be so heavily watched. You know that.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
It's fine.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You remember what got you back into the Olympics a
few years back, beach volleyball.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, different reasons.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
I think Sam was blowing your phone up, going you
gotta watch it now.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, But but it's again, it's athleticism and break dancing
takes an enormous amount of strength and agility and course
strains especially would.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah, okay, so how do you know this? But okay, and.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I tried it? Yeah I did. I wasn't watching TV
and try it. I couldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Try it break dancing legendary breakdancer. His name is Richard Colan.
He's from the Bronx. He's a part of a crew.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
He doesn't have a name, Richard, but they got to
be like DJ something.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I'm sorry. He's known as Crazy Legs. There you go
of the rock Steady crew. There we go real he's
going to be a part of the team. And some
of the things that will include that you can get
points for, let a footwork, freezing poses and floor spins.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I'll be watching and if you have trouble telling me
and Sam a parked easy when you do it right now?
Is he's the one wearing the boot on his foot,
not me. From the from the surgery, I got the
pin in my toe.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
I know what's weird is that when I had the
pin in my toe, I don't think I could see
the pen. They wrapped my foot completely.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
They protected the.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Finger was wrapped to when you had your pin. Yes,
they wanted to protect it.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
What was your pin? All will know?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
When I came out of it, It's like I can
see the pen. I thought this was supposed to.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Be wrapped, which increases your anxiety about the pin, which
I know that's where your anxiety is. It's all about
the pin. Oh yeah, you don't care about the surgery.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Don't you not have feeling in that toe anymore? Or
is that.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Right now supposed to have feeling in the toe. I'm
not going to have a knuckle anymore, so the toe
is going to be straight all the time. Oh really,
I can't bend that one toe.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I had one like that after my surgery, Jennifer said.
The thought of the pen This is on our Facebook page.
Jennifer commented the thought of the pin getting bumped since
chills down her spine. Yeah matter soon.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Luckily, the boot has like a two inch lap up
lip on the front of it. So I've bumped it
a couple of times and I haven't hit the pin yet.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
You could create some sort of barrier. You can make
your own little cone of shame for your boot.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Let me just leave it the way it is. Yeah,
I mean, there's a there's a reason the surgeon did that.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I'm assuming back up to New Year's Eve, the day
you had the surgery. You know. I offered to drive you,
so did Murphy, but who came to the rescue and
drove Sam.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I almost wound up driving myself. You know, you can't
do that.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
The reason being at least to get there and get
it started. Because my mom was late. We had cleared.
We got to leave at nine twenty nine thirty to
be there for ten for check in, and she showed
up at my house about ten twenty and then people
were calling like where are you? And I was like,
in my ride, Oh no, I got the times wrong.
(20:23):
Then that's funny year in a grown adult. My mom's
not here.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I know. I know.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Every time I had to say it, it's like, my
mommy's bringing me. Well, yeah, and she's gonna sit and
wait for me to die. We offered, I know, and
then you wanted to. She shows up and I'm I
was like, we got to go. I'm standing in the
garage waiting for her, and she calls me, I'm here.
I was like, no, I'm in the garage. You're not
in my driveway.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I'm here. I'm telling you, I go out and look
she's two houses down. Oh. I was like, hey, I'm
over here. You're lucky you had this surgery at all.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Okay, Happy couples report people who've been together for a
really long time, whether married or not. Yearsssful relationships. Yeah yeah,
us Murphy report that one of the keys to them
being successful and happy is me time, getting away a
(21:20):
little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
And you say getting away, you mean getting away individually separately,
or you mean getting away is that I don't mean.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Going on a romantic weekend together. I mean me time.
You know what me time means. It means just me.
You do that, Murphy, You've.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Done a bunch of Vegas trips, Murphy, you rerely hadn't
done any meat times.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Wait, I know you went to some concerts. Thanks for
the reminder with your dad.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It doesn't mean Wait, first of all, it doesn't just
mean getting away. You don't have to get on a
plane to have me time. It means, while you know,
Murphy's away at a meeting or working out, I'm watching Netflix,
just me. Oh it can't mean I'm reading a book,
but just And I feel that maybe it's the mom woman,
working woman in me, but I really need that I
(22:05):
need to be alone. I need to get back to
my center. I feel it on the daily.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Look, I think all that kind of ties along meditation
and everything else. Solitude is just an important thing. Now.
You don't need it all the time because then you're
called a hermit.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I don't meditate, balance in everything. I don't meditate, though,
But yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
About what I'm saying is it kind of becomes a
form of that because you just when you can really
detach and there's nothing going on and just be in
the present moment, That's what meditation is. It's not about
sitting there with your legs crossed and eyes closed.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Necessarily, you need to be okay in that space, you
know what I mean. I'm telling you this too. Working
women wildly report. When you're home by yourself, you don't
know what to do. First, you're so excited, you want
to dance around. You don't know if you want to
take a nap, you want to watch a movie. You
don't know what to do.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I guess I'm the opposite of that. I got me time.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
You have U time all the time, Sam, I need
us time. Does it work for you?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Well?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I agree, agreed. When you're alone too much. You need
a socialization. You need to be with friends anyway. Metime
super important. The most valuable would be up to an
hour a day. I don't think anybody's getting that.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I've seen this warning pop up a couple of times
since the year started.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
What does that soom? And it's it's.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
About the way you write the year this year on
your checks or anything.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Right right? I saw that you're not supposed to just
do twenty.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah, like you know, today's the seventh. You would write
one com slash seven slash twwenty.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, you're actually writing a check and not doing venmo. Well,
which is the easier way to go.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I would write it jack in a check or anything
that you put that on.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
A test kids at school? Well, yeah, that's up to
the feature, I guess.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Rod, because if you write twenty, anybody can put the
last two numbers on there and backdate it to whatever
they want. Oh, because it's like yeah, because it's twenty twenty.
So you would just write the twenty thinking you're right
in the last.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
And they could what put twenty twenty three on twenty seventeen?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
You can put twenty eighteen. You can put anything.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I didn't think of that.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
But so what goodness going backwards? Do you are? So
you're saying a postdated.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Check, Yeah, it's never cleared. I need my million dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I wrote you this check four years ago.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
See, I never would see I'm not a I can't
be a criminal. I could not think of that. I
would not think of that.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Do you think they had that problem in nineteen twenty.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
No, they had other problems in nineteen twenty. I guess
she bless their hearts.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, next year we won't have it
because you'll be writing twenty one truth, right.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Okay, so be careful and write out twenty twenty. Yeah,
I'm fine with that. That's easy.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So now you got me thinking back to the first
six days of the year when I've actually oh right,
if you're you know me, I haven't written any checks.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
But he was taking care of business man.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, I mean there have been forms that I've filled
out and stuff like that. So, like, if you're entering
credit card data online and the dropdown only has the
two digits, you can't do anything about that. But doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
They're probably not going to go in there and add tweets.
Probably not right because like Okay, slay, you wrote a
check and you wrote twenty twenty one or twenty on it,
and somebody adds a twenty one. Technically or legally, you
can't cash that check till twenty twenty one, so.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
You have a year to you know, catch that fraud.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, but that seems like really dumb. You know, it's
crazy taking a chance that the bank may actually have
that money a year from now, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
It's I still think it's cool to know. Yeah, thank you, Sam.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I mean there, I've seen so many tweets and stuff
about it from different police departments, so it's like, just
right up, it's twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
We're happy to be back. Happy New Year, you mean
happy New Years?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Okay, don't don't do the happy New Years? Okay. Over
the holidays, I was a little excited about this present
that I had bought for Murphy. Was the first one
I bought, wrapped and put on the mantle like you
didn't know, you know, we were going to keep it
low key, and I was so tickled with my all
for having thought of this for him, and he hasn't
(26:04):
he hasn't touched it since. No, I've learned my lessons.
I don't buy tech stuff for him. There's no way, Murphy,
I would do that for you.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, but I want to. I not open since.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
It's okay that you haven't. I know you're going to
like it once you finally do.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But I mean, there are some of those soaps that
I love that you got. I've not open those because
I don't need them yet.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
That's me with all that extra The real gift I
gave you was I gave him twenty three and.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Me, oh yeah, I gave.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Him the health and ancestry whatever, like, so he'll know.
He can know, so you know, if you're gonna die, Yeah,
not dying, but you.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Know already got type one diabetes. It's under control. So well,
I wonder if that will show up.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
I have a friend who has this and did it
a couple of years ago, and she still gets email like, okay,
according to new research, this is where you would fall
in this category or and she says it's fascinating. So
I thought, dang, that is so Murphy to get an
email about his genetics, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Excited about it. The reason that I haven't used it
yet is because you have to wait thirty minutes. No
no eating or drinking for thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
We haven't had any time where you've got men.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's my point. Every time I've seen it on the dresser,
I'm like, man, I just had a or man, I
just ate, you know, because they want your mouth promise.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
That you're excited about it. Yeah, because I kind of
stuck it away. I haven't seen it. I haven't heard
about it so well.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
But see, I mean to me, it's you know, it's
a serious investment, even though you've got it as a
Black Friday sale, right, didn't you say that would you
paid ful? P? No? No, I think it's fantastic. I
mean it's a good deal. You want a very gift
that you got in a discout. But see, if I
mess up the test going into it, then not only
have I wasted the test, I've wasted the money in
the deal. It's all right. So I want to make
(27:43):
sure that I my mouth is perfectly the way that
they say it needs to be before I swab.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Before you do it direct to consumer genetic time.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah, and actually it's not swab, it's spit. And I
looked at the vial. I'm like, wow, man, that's gould
take a long time.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
You'll do fine, You'll do fine. I have to tell
you a little story from over the holidays when we had
a family staying with us, namely my cousin Crystal. She's
the one that cooks the Thanksgiving meal every year, Sam.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
She's also the one that labels everything in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Everything is labeled.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Do you ever have to wonder where something is?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
When I was at her house, I asked, do you
have any cuticle oil? And she opened a cabinet and
pulled out like a container that had nail stuff in it.
In the nail oil, we're getting weird and dry and
needed a little love. It's something that women use and
men who get.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Anyway, So you've had pedicures, not manicure, so I guess
you've never had cuticle oil.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Last they put it on and the end when you're done,
and they put that little good oil and then they
rub it in. That's cuticle oil. Okay, welcome to class boys. Anyway,
she is so together that the last couple of times
she's been at our house, she can't help herself. She
organizes my pantry. It was so funny. I walked into
the kitchen like in the summer when she was there
(29:02):
and she was just organizing my pantry, and I was like,
go for it.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
It's like Monica on friend.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
She what's funny is that she taught me though without
meaning to teach me, because she said, it's it's just
putting like things together. I'm thinking I would have taken
everything out, cleaned it all out, and made an afternoon
of it and put everything back. You know, She's like, no,
she just started like it was almost like it was
happening and fast forward. She was just putting things together
that go down and.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
You organize your pantry if it's not like things together.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
First of all, it was it always starts that way and.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Then it kind of works its way. Crazy your pantry
a little bit right a book? Yeah, so you know,
I'm with you on the how do you how do
you really classify everything? Because for example, SIMI sweet chocolate
morsels could be in the baking area or they.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Could thank you, no, not in my house, it's in
the sacking area because we do mix and we do
these no bake energy bites and that's snacky stuff. Okay,
So anyhow, she did not clean my pantry this time.
She did not organize my pantry this time because I
picked on her about it. I was like, I can't wait
for you to see my pantry. And I think because
I said that to her, she didn't do it. So
(30:10):
last night I did it, and I took her advice.
Instead of making a whole two hour or deal of it,
I just put like things together and I was done
in twenty minute fifteen minutes. And it looks good, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, it looks great.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Pick up little things from those around you, and I
sure did. From her.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Coming up after the show, how do you keep a
determined dog from getting out from under the fence, you know,
one of the constantly digs. I think that Jody and
I have finally figured that out.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Sweet Laylah.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
We'll go there after the show today in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
So towards the end of the year, apparently a big
time for surgeries and surgeons, because I know you had
foot surgery.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I got mine in New Year's Eve. I know Sam
knows how to ring in a New Year's Night, and
I know how to work that deductible.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Hey, we're going to get to that later. We want
to hear your stories and all that. But our oldest
Taylor had her wisdom teeth extracted right right when we
were all from work and the start of the holiday season.
And the most interesting surprising thing about that for me,
she did fine and all that, but was that it
(31:12):
was really hard for me to give her those strong
pain medications once it was and I know she needed them,
and there's nothing wrong with pain meds whenever you legitimately
need them. It's what they're four And I get that,
and I didn't want her to feel pain. And she
had five teeth removed five. I know.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I thought there were four wisdoms me too.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Somehow she went up with the fifth.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
One was like I got five, so this is even
more anyway, and thrown around name, name hermie. She had five,
and so it was a serious deal and so giving
her that was hard for me, just knowing how serious
it is, how addictive it can be, how it can
make you loopy. And I don't know how it was
felt wrong.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Was that because of your experience with it or is
it just everything that you've seen around both?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Because when I had foot surgery and I had to
take it, I'm I'm here to say it was hard
to stop taking it. I mean, I was pretty uncomfortable
when I was weaning myself off.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Look, I love the way that you handled that though.
I mean it was it was like the big to
do list with the time sitting next to it. It
was a perfectly structured log.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
For when she could take it. And I'm smart, Yeah,
I had to, had to. You're on the same stuff, rint, Yes, Sam.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah, I'm on lard tab. Are you still I haven't
taken one in two days?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Then you're not on it?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Well, I mean I couldn't deal with the pain for
a day or so there, right, Yeah, Now it's it's
I don't need it, so I want to take it right.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
And that's really what it is. You use it as
it's intended, but I think it's really I mean, being
so aware of how addictive that those things.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Are now felt so wrong. My child, she's fine now,
by the way, wisdom teeth gone all five.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Or for you, Jody, there's something I forgot to tell
you about after my surgery, when my toe surgery, my mom,
since she was my chauffeur, we had to go to
the pharmacy, you know, to get my pain meds. You
know you got them when you get home. Well, she
goes in to get them comes back.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I left it.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
The guy said there's only six of them, so you're
gonna have to get another prescription.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
It's like, what what?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
We weren't two minutes away from the pharmacy when I
got the text said it was all done. So she
goes back to pick them up. She comes out with
my prescription and one of those giant tins of popcorn,
you know, the holiday popcorn.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
It was on sale, Donand yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Sitting in the car like, oh my god. She comes
out with pills and popcorn, Like what is this?
Speaker 3 (33:32):
That's why they were right out of door.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
They were on sales the door with Murphy.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
It doesn't matter what. You're there to pick up life
saving gauze or something, and he's kit kats.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
By the way, my popcorn ten has the grench on
it too.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Perfect.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
That's cute.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
If you're in a good relationship and you want to
keep it happy, mine's pretty good. Big singles working out
for you, Sam, Right, Well, that's okay, that's great.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
He's enjoying me myself and I that's right.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
But happy couples are saying, and I totally get this
and believe it that one of the keys to a
happy relationship is me time. They get some time with
themselves every day, like to do whatever, to take a nap,
to read, to go for a walk. You have to
separate and come back to yourself in order to be
(34:22):
any good for somebody else. And I totally feel that.
In fact, I get it, maybe because there's so much
socializing in my life like here.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Well it's you know, they say a great relationship is
two independent people sharing, which they you know, they call
it interdependence. Well that's what Stephen Covey called it. Anyway.
You know what I'm saying, I'm.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Out of a seminar.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
There's independence, there's dependence, and then there's interdependence, which is
you know again, because when you have your own life,
then you actually have something additional to share, you know
what I mean? Yes, thanks doctor Phil.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
So get away from each other and that's daily stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Too, is what you're talking about, not just the big
trips to Vegas you like to do. I like the
trips Murphy. Jody told me that you're setting her up
for her next me time.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
A yeah, odd that I haven't taken mine yet, but
of course that's my own issue. I haven't done it.
But yeah, she's gonna go do the crew.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Don't say it like that.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I mean she and her cousins are gonna go see
Motley Crue. Now know it's your friends, you and your
best friends from high high.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
School girlfriends, the three of us, Me, Rachel, and Lisa
are going to see the Stadium tour, which is Motley Crue,
def Leppard, I think Poison and Joe Yet that is
going to be a show arguing overnight.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, they've got some question marks on Vince Needil's ability
to sing. Well, I don't know how that's gonna work out.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
But you know, and this is a summertime thing. It's
summer trip we're taking to go do this. What's funny,
the reason we're doing it is because that's Motley Crue
and def Leppard all that. That's how we became friends
being those girls in high school leaving school. Early music
was the bond.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Well, you know, with Poison on the bill, you could
always have Brett Michael's come over and do the Vince
Neil stuff with Motley Crue.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Let's not talk about that right now. Let's just talk
about you know, me time and girl trips. Sam. I
forgot to mention this Murphy was delighted. I found a
new way to cook cabbage, and I did it on
New Year's Day. And I know you're making a face.
You don't like cabbine.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Only good way to cook cabbage is coleslaw.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
No, not true. I grew up eating it the country way.
My grandmother used to make it in a cast iron skillet.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Did you make cabbage rolls or just no?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Just cabbage, corn bread, cabbage anyway. I found this recipe
for cabbage in a Dutch oven in your oven. Yeah,
and you just put bacon on the bottom of the
Dutch oven.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
You shrud up the cat well, you cut up the
cabbage into like wedges. You put butter, salt, onion, and
some apple cider vinegar just a little bit, and you
just cook it like on three hundred for two and
a half hours. Murphy's in love with it. It's a lot.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Oh, it's incredible. I mean, but I love I've loved
cabbage since I was a kid. It's funny. Sam was
like our oldest daughter Taylor. He doesn't like pickles or
anything that can be pickled exactly.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
You and Taylor could eat nuggets together, chicken nuggets anyway.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I don't you like sauerkraut though too? I love so.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Yeah, yeah yeah, which is pickled cabbage. So it was
the it's the easiest way I've ever made it. I
wanted to have a conversation with my grandmother because the
way she taught me was harder, which is why I
don't make it very often. And I found this in
like an the Joanna Gaines cookbook. So anyway I found it,
I'll share it with you. It's Joanna Gaines, but I'll
put it on our website. Murphy Samonjody dot com.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Jody, you were telling us earlier Taylor had her wisdom
teeth taken out going into the holidays and had five.
And that's the thing that gets me. There's five, not four.
I've tried to let that go. But what I want
to know is did the tooth fairy take care of
this one?
Speaker 3 (38:01):
No, the doctor took care. We didn't see them.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Oh oh she didn't get them back?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
No? Why not? Were I supposed to ask for them?
I didn't want. I don't want a bunch of teeth
hanging around.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Well it might be a little late, now, excuse me, right, Well,
did you.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Get your wisdom teeth back when you had them removed
years ago.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yeah, I remember that big, giant long one I had. Yeah,
I got mine. I had my tonsils from when I
was in I don't.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
We don't keep it great. I would say that the
tooth Fairy rewarded with quite a few things in those
couple of days that were happened. Yeah, but there were
no teeth to be reclaimed. Gotcha.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
We don't keep body parts. You do, but we don't.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
We love to hear from you on Facebook or Instagram.
You know you can share your picks with us too,
just like we share all of ours with you. Follow
us on Instagram and like our Facebook page and you'll
get notifications whenever we go Facebook Live
Got another Murphy Sami Jody after the show podcast coming up, Well,
after the show, that's usually when we do it, right
and Sam the ultimate regifter?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, yeah, you know, Chad told me he regifted me
this year for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Right when he gave it to you. I thought that
was weird.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That was at different, but it happened again a couple
times over the holidays. You got this was the regift
Christmas for me. Yeah, I'll tell you all about it
in the podcast. Okay, okay with that, that was good stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Okay, Well, speaking of good stuff that you like, I know,
especially when I think of Peer One, I think of
Sam because years ago was here one. Yeah, I really
do too. In fact, your love of it is what
made me venture in there.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah. Well Peer one is the original world Market minus
the food, right, Yeah, it's World Market Kirklands. It's that.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
It's one of those types. Anyway, they're closing about half
of their stores in US and Canada, about forty two stores.
What's up e commerce? Yeah, Amazon, it's the typical thing
of they've had. They've been on a sales decline for
nine consecutive quarters or something like that. Yeah, and so
(01:08):
you know they'll still have an online presence, and they'll
still have the biggest stores, the most successful stores open
brick and mortar. But nine hundred and forty two stores
is a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, that's kind of a bummer to hear because to me,
part of that Peer one experience is the smell. I'm
walking in there and you know, I mean the lighting
and a way, it's just what's the.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Last thing you bought a Peer one? I can tell
you what I bought.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Probably a candle holder, might have been some.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Place mats there you go to Place Mats.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
The thing with me with Pier one, Pier One, to me,
I know, I have the home Depot Lows thing where
if you go in there and you don't need anything,
you still wind up buying something.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Because it's cool.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Same deal, Yeah, Pier.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
One, Kirklands, it's all the same. If I go in
there and it's like, oh, I know, I know where
this could go.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
On the wall in the house, and they know that.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
You're coming out with a session. Yeah, you're coming out
with something.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
It's gonna be cyclical. We're gonna want more brick and
mortar stores in the future. Promise the last thing I
bought at Pier one was literally over the holidays, like
a day after when I go and buy wrapping paper.
I just happened to venture into one and I got
this incredible smelling apple pie candle. Yeah, it smells like
apple pie. Three wik Big on sale.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Pure one is always a great after Christmas sale too,
I know. But I haven't set foot in Pier One
in probably seven years, So maybe I'm an example of
one of the reasons that's fast. Mar Yeah, it's been
cracking me up. Jody mentioned earlier that we're gonna have
to return one of the gifts that we gave. You know,
Phoebe Santa brought all of his stuff. There were a
(02:33):
couple of special Mom and Dad gives it. We gave
and Jody had this beautiful print from Kirklands And there's
nothing wrong with that because it's I love Kirklands too,
and but it's Dolly Parton's Butterfly. It's part of a
commissioned collection, and because Phoebe is such a big Dolly
Parton fanatic.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, it was a great idea and.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I loved it. And so this thing's big, Sam just
so you know, to hide it, I had to go
through the fence in the backyard to get it to
the back of the house and into a closet.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Well, now we know where the dogs got the idea.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's a beautiful butterfly with all different colors, and the
middle of it, like the body of it what would
have been the caterpillar whatever is a guitar. It's really
lovely and I thought she would love it. And she
likes the picture, okay, but she doesn't like the warm
colors because she has cool colors in her room and
she's an artist and she doesn't want to mix all
that up.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So you know, I mean, I respect that, and so
no big deal. We'll return it, you know, refund and
so forth. But this thing is so big. How big
is it? It's so big that it is. I've watched
it move five times in the last week. You know.
It will be in the house, and then it will
be in the laundry room, and then it will be
in the back of Jody's car. But then we have
(03:47):
to load Jody's back of her car with something, so
it goes back into the house. Yesterday I went back
into Jody's car, and then this morning when I left,
I look over in the car port. It's like it's
in the car port.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Here's the deal, here's the reason I keep moving. I
want to take it back. I even tried to take
it back after Christmas with Phoebe in tow and I
didn't have the receipt and I'm like, well, you've got
me in your computer though, and like, well, but without
the receipt, you're not going to get exactly what you
paid for it, because now it's more discounted, so I'm
going to get less. And I'm like, I don't want
to get less than what I paid for it. We'll
(04:18):
just bring the receipt, bring it home, go look for
the receipt, which of course I can't find, which is.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
A good here's a little public service announcement. Whenever you
get there and they say, you want us to email
you the receipt, Yeah, good reason to have that done,
because you always will have it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I know I don't want the printed receipt because.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's easy and quick. I guess you don't have to
spell out.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Your why because I want to say no to the
email because I've got too much email coming in and
so I've gotten in the habit of saying no thanks
on the email.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And now you're stuck with a giant Dolly Parton print
in the car port, so we.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Don't what should ever miss a thing? And you know
on our Facebook page, Judy, you to Facebook Live a
couple of days ago in case you didn't get to
catch it in action, it's still there. And if you
want to get notifications for future Facebook lives, just go
ahead and like our Facebook page. Boom, it'll pop up
just like that.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
For Yeah, a lot of messaging going back and forth,
and when you message us, we get back to you
as much as we get back to you. And Gina
sent in a message the other day, Jody, I want
to let you know that I purchased both books that
you and Sam were talking about, Catch and Kill by
Ronan Pharaoh and Me by Elton John. She goes on
to write, I enjoyed them both, but I love Love
(05:33):
Loved Me the best. I actually got it on audio
book and this is what this is why I'm bringing
this comment up. Gina says that tarn Edgerton narrated me
on the audio book and it's absolutely wonderful to listen to.
There are moments in a rock star's life. He's the
actor that played Elton in the movie Rocket.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
So here he read the book and she goes on
to say he is animated, and when an American person
is being quoted, he does the American said, it's awesome.
I highly recommend this audio book to me.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
The best audio books are like that. You have some
books that are just narrated, but if you ever listen
to audiobooks, there are some that actually really do change
inflection and they're changing the moan in the book, and
that makes it a lot better. That makes it, to me,
easier to follow.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
And I did pick up the hard copy of the
Elton john Nee book. Murphy gave it to me for Christmas,
and I was reading it and it's good. But now
I kind of want to listen.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Does sound cool?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
It sounds awesome, So thank you for that, Gina. I
remember the first time I ever listened to a book,
an audiobook, and I've always been an avid read. I
love to read a book. I love to get lost
in a book, and so it was weird for me.
It's a long time ago. I had, like, you know,
headphones on and I was listening and it was like
a crime thriller and I found it. I giggled, I
(06:53):
couldn't because she was being so serious, you know. The
attacker approached and I was just I was like, really,
I can't. You can't get down with this.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
You mean more of the moments in a rock star's life.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Anyway, Thank you so much, Gina for letting us know that.
Hit us up anytime on Facebook or Instagram, Sam, you
would have loved it. I should have turned a camera
on last night at the house, you know, minding our own.
I'm walking into the laundry room, about to grab some
jeans out of the dryer, and I see something really
small and really fast. Run a pat not a dog. No,
(07:31):
something's really small, and I don't remember what word I used,
but I've murdered. You came running right.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
When Jody explained the first time, It's like, well, are
you sure you weren't seeing things? Because you couldn't really
describe what you saw. You know how, sometimes your peripheral
vision will trick you out. You think you see something,
you turn and look and there's nothing there.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
But in my life experience, when it's something that small
and that fast, it's a mouse. And so anyway, Murphy
goes out to the car port to open the door.
I'm gonna like, I'm gonna get and make him go outside.
So it's one of those laundry rooms attached to the
car things. He opens that door and what happens. The
mouse runs the other way Again. I'm the only one
(08:07):
who's seen it, but I saw it better this time,
and it's small and cute. So Phoebe's in her room
doing homework, Taylor's at work, Murphy and I are standing
there like, who's gonna go in because one of us
has to go in to find it, get it out,
do whatever. So Murphy puts shoes on, but he's so jumpy.
You know, there's a little tiny wrote it. You know,
(08:27):
there's a small room hit that he's in. You go
in there and you get jumpy.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You if I can see it, I don't have any problem.
I've done that before, right, I mean, I've done it
with Rose. When you can't see it and you don't
know where when it's gonna happen, that even freaks me out.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
So I mean, we have room to pick up things like.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So, I mean, once I finally got everything cleared by
the way and couldn't find him, I did the responsible
thing and we asked our youngest daughter.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I called her. She's so fierce, she's not afraid. She'll
pick up almost anything and so, but she didn't want
to touch it. She was like, okay, So she put
on her shoes and she went in there with a
flashlight behind the Washington driver.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, you too are outside, can you hear anything? Let
us know if you see anything in their FEBEs.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I really don't want to touch it, but she did
want to see it, you know, curiosity gets her anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
She's smaller than us too, though. She did have to
squeeze kind of into a smaller area. But we could
not find him. If I hadn't hurt him myself, I
would have said, Jodie, or you really sure you saw something?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
But what we did find in the corner behind the
dryer is a little hole though, so he went back out,
which made it so we get a fix. You guys
know that January is the number one month for divorce filings.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I hate hearing that.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Inside. There's a reason.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Though, you're wise up over the holidays. I have had
enough of this now, you know what? I bet you
the proximity and the interaction, and that the emotion and
everything in the holidays probably what yeah, I've had.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Enough all this. Yeah, that's exactly what he's trying to say,
just less formally. Yeah, Okay, you guys are not you're
a little off. According to those in the industry, attorneys,
I guess it's dubbed divorce month because they feel and
they really believe people couples, especially those with children, like
to stick it out through the holidays for the children's sake,
(10:20):
like they were already thinking of it, planning on it,
so they wait and do the holidays together. Also, like,
if you're going home for Christmas to see mom and.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Dad, you don't want to drop that one on them yet.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
That whole thing where they put that in the movies,
where people are keeping things under wraps, that's real, Like
you don't want to bring that up at Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I'm sure resolutions play in into it.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
That's the other thing in January, when it's time, when
it's January and you're you're zen, and you're starting over
and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
This is going to be my year. But I got
to get rid of her if.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
It was already in the works. It's the number one
month for filings. This is the time for fresh starts
for people.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, the month, the fees for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
And there's another year you your single you and yesterday,
by the way, was the number one day for online
dating spike. People don't want to date during the holidays.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, I get that that people don't want to date
over the holidays. That makes sense to me.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, completely, I'm working on You're taking all of this
all right. If you're in that space though of filing
in this month.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And you do have children, just be sensitive to that
it make sure they know it's not their fault and
because it messes with their stability for sure. I had
bought this Dolly Parton inspired picture for Phoebe's room because
Phoebe loves Dolly Parton. It was a Kirklands look. They
had a whole little line of Dolly Parton collection, if
(11:53):
you will.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Sham finds that to be somewhat hysterical, but.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
You have to buy those in pairs.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You know, you want to think about it. This canvas,
this is the biggest thing I've ever seen. Jody had
it covered two seats in the back for her to
take it back to Kirkerlanes. It's yeah, and so it
was very bulky and difficult to get around.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You've been wanting something for her room. I thought it
would look good on her in her room I was buying.
I bought it for her, taking a chance that she
might like it. She did like it, but not for
her room color scheme. Then, yeah, she didn't want to
mix warm colors with the cool colors of her light
yellow in her room.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
That shows you that art is just a very personal thing.
It is.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I shouldn't have bought it, but you understand. When I
saw it, I was like, oh, she.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Usually loves any of It's got Dolly's name on her picture,
She's got it.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Her Phoebe was sort of named after her Phoebe Buffet
and friends. And it's so funny to me how much
like Phoebe Buffet she is. Remember the pottery barn episode.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I got a pottery bar.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I know you did. I bought the same one. And
if she sees your table, she's gonna know that I like.
To her, I told her that ours was an original.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Why did you do that?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Because she hates pottery barn.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
She hates pottery barn.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Okay, bringing that up and bringing that in because our Phoebe.
When I did take it back by the way, yesterday
and exchange it. Well, I'm in exchange it. I just
got credit right because she doesn't like Kirklands. I said, what,
I know, it's pretty, but she said it's in her opinion,
(13:31):
it's it's all the same. You said it's all generic.
She said that, and I'm thinking so Phoebe Buffet I
did too.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
We clearly raised her wrong.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Jody, who's gonna guess who's gonna use her credit? Me? So?
How does the pin in the toe feel today?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I don't feel it. You had surgery on New Year's Eve?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
On my hammer today? Can't touch this? How many times
did you tell that joke? I've had a.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Couple of in my feed. I posted a picture of
the after math, you know, of the toe in a boot,
and I have a couple of people posted Hamerton.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yes. The interesting thing to note about this whole New
Year's Day, a New Year's Eve surgery is that I
know you squeaked it in before you're deductible. And that's great. Yeah,
that's fine, wonderful you should do that. You pay insurance
for a reason. But being the holidays, I offered to
drive you home, and so did Murphy, like, well, we'll
drive you home if you need and you were like okay, noted.
(14:32):
And so the day before I texted saym hey, do
you still need a ride tomorrow? You're all set and
the text back was no, my mom's gonna bring me. Also,
ex wife number two volunteered, and I was like.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Really, it was really nice, and I do believe it
was sincere on her post is mine.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
However, my thing is.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
She has brought me to things before, for when we
were married, and you know, when you're on the loopy
medicine and there's no telling what you're going to say. Yeah,
so I had to figure that in, you know, like
you telling me what.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You didn't want to be an undisciplined sim Exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I don't want anything that she doesn't know. I know,
but it's.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Water under the bridge and you don't need to bring
it back up when you're under and you thought maybe
I don't know, or just me with her in the
room might have had something.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
The problem is it's not really truth. Serum. You could
say anything, whether it's the truth or not. You know
what I mean, all kinds of craziness.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Ruth Serum, Well, I mean it does. It makes you
just say anything and.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
You lose all of your you know, well, you.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Know when you used to drink, Sam, you started loving everybody,
used to tell everybody so.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
And see there was that part to me saying something
like inappropriate, inappropriate, really regret, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Very smart move on your part.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Did you tell her? That's why? You know?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I said, my mom's got discovered. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I don't care what I tell my mom obviously. You know,
one thing I love about the three of us is
that even when we disagree on something, well, we're still friends.
It should be, yeah, I mean, it is the way
it should be. It's a respectful disagreement on something. And
I'm I'm a little bit surprised honestly about everybody's opinion
(16:26):
on break dancing becoming an Olympic sport.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
In twenty twenty four in Paris.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Because to me, it's legit. It's not a sport. Sam
doesn't think it's a sport. It's a lifestyle. It's it's
it's dancing.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It was a lifestyle and when it was, you know,
busted out on the scene in the eighties, throw your
card a couple of spins, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
But see, I submit for your review here, Sam, that
you know, rhythmic gymnastics and uh synchronized swimming. I mean
all for gymnastics, not giving me a good example ice skating.
They're all set to music and they are athletic, and
it takes a lot of athleticism to do this.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
There's that portion of gymnastics the floor that's a dance.
That's one of my favorites. I will say this or whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I don't know gymnastics, that's part of the rhythmic gymnastics.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Okay. To me, it sounded off at first like break
dancing as an Olympic sport, and I felt a little
more Sam like about it, like really dancing. You could
have a whole separate dancing Olympics because dances work. Trust
it really is. But then I'm thinking it's smart on
the Olympic Committee's part to put this in that is
(17:34):
going to be so heavily watched. You know that.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
It's fine.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You remember what got you back into the Olympics a
few years back, beach volleyball.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, different reasons.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
I think Sam was blowing your phone up, going you
gotta watch it now.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, But but it's again, it's athleticism and break dancing
takes an enormous amount of strength and agility and course
strains especially would.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah, okay, so how do you know this? But okay, and.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I tried it? Yeah I did. I wasn't watching TV
and try it. I couldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Try it break dancing legendary breakdancer. His name is Richard Colan.
He's from the Bronx. He's a part of a crew.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
He doesn't have a name, Richard, but they got to
be like DJ something.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I'm sorry. He's known as Crazy Legs. There you go
of the rock Steady crew. There we go real he's
going to be a part of the team. And some
of the things that will include that you can get
points for, let a footwork, freezing poses and floor spins.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I'll be watching and if you have trouble telling me
and Sam a parked easy when you do it right now?
Is he's the one wearing the boot on his foot,
not me. From the from the surgery, I got the
pin in my toe.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
I know what's weird is that when I had the
pin in my toe, I don't think I could see
the pen. They wrapped my foot completely.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
They protected the.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Finger was wrapped to when you had your pin. Yes,
they wanted to protect it.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
What was your pin? All will know?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
When I came out of it, It's like I can
see the pen. I thought this was supposed to.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Be wrapped, which increases your anxiety about the pin, which
I know that's where your anxiety is. It's all about
the pin. Oh yeah, you don't care about the surgery.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Don't you not have feeling in that toe anymore? Or
is that.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Right now supposed to have feeling in the toe. I'm
not going to have a knuckle anymore, so the toe
is going to be straight all the time. Oh really,
I can't bend that one toe.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I had one like that after my surgery, Jennifer said.
The thought of the pen This is on our Facebook page.
Jennifer commented the thought of the pin getting bumped since
chills down her spine. Yeah matter soon.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Luckily, the boot has like a two inch lap up
lip on the front of it. So I've bumped it
a couple of times and I haven't hit the pin yet.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
You could create some sort of barrier. You can make
your own little cone of shame for your boot.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Let me just leave it the way it is. Yeah,
I mean, there's a there's a reason the surgeon did that.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I'm assuming back up to New Year's Eve, the day
you had the surgery. You know. I offered to drive you,
so did Murphy, but who came to the rescue and
drove Sam.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I almost wound up driving myself. You know, you can't
do that.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
The reason being at least to get there and get
it started. Because my mom was late. We had cleared.
We got to leave at nine twenty nine thirty to
be there for ten for check in, and she showed
up at my house about ten twenty and then people
were calling like where are you? And I was like,
in my ride, Oh no, I got the times wrong.
(20:23):
Then that's funny year in a grown adult. My mom's
not here.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I know. I know.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Every time I had to say it, it's like, my
mommy's bringing me. Well, yeah, and she's gonna sit and
wait for me to die. We offered, I know, and
then you wanted to. She shows up and I'm I
was like, we got to go. I'm standing in the
garage waiting for her, and she calls me, I'm here.
I was like, no, I'm in the garage. You're not
in my driveway.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I'm here. I'm telling you, I go out and look
she's two houses down. Oh. I was like, hey, I'm
over here. You're lucky you had this surgery at all.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Okay, Happy couples report people who've been together for a
really long time, whether married or not. Yearsssful relationships. Yeah yeah,
us Murphy report that one of the keys to them
being successful and happy is me time, getting away a
(21:20):
little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
And you say getting away, you mean getting away individually separately,
or you mean getting away is that I don't mean.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Going on a romantic weekend together. I mean me time.
You know what me time means. It means just me.
You do that, Murphy, You've.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Done a bunch of Vegas trips, Murphy, you rerely hadn't
done any meat times.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Wait, I know you went to some concerts. Thanks for
the reminder with your dad.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It doesn't mean Wait, first of all, it doesn't just
mean getting away. You don't have to get on a
plane to have me time. It means, while you know,
Murphy's away at a meeting or working out, I'm watching Netflix,
just me. Oh it can't mean I'm reading a book,
but just And I feel that maybe it's the mom woman,
working woman in me, but I really need that I
(22:05):
need to be alone. I need to get back to
my center. I feel it on the daily.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Look, I think all that kind of ties along meditation
and everything else. Solitude is just an important thing. Now.
You don't need it all the time because then you're
called a hermit.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I don't meditate, balance in everything. I don't meditate, though,
But yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
About what I'm saying is it kind of becomes a
form of that because you just when you can really
detach and there's nothing going on and just be in
the present moment, That's what meditation is. It's not about
sitting there with your legs crossed and eyes closed.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Necessarily, you need to be okay in that space, you
know what I mean. I'm telling you this too. Working
women wildly report. When you're home by yourself, you don't
know what to do. First, you're so excited, you want
to dance around. You don't know if you want to
take a nap, you want to watch a movie. You
don't know what to do.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I guess I'm the opposite of that. I got me time.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
You have U time all the time, Sam, I need
us time. Does it work for you?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Well?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I agree, agreed. When you're alone too much. You need
a socialization. You need to be with friends anyway. Metime
super important. The most valuable would be up to an
hour a day. I don't think anybody's getting that.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I've seen this warning pop up a couple of times
since the year started.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
What does that soom? And it's it's.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
About the way you write the year this year on
your checks or anything.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Right right? I saw that you're not supposed to just
do twenty.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah, like you know, today's the seventh. You would write
one com slash seven slash twwenty.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, you're actually writing a check and not doing venmo. Well,
which is the easier way to go.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I would write it jack in a check or anything
that you put that on.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
A test kids at school? Well, yeah, that's up to
the feature, I guess.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Rod, because if you write twenty, anybody can put the
last two numbers on there and backdate it to whatever
they want. Oh, because it's like yeah, because it's twenty twenty.
So you would just write the twenty thinking you're right
in the last.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
And they could what put twenty twenty three on twenty seventeen?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
You can put twenty eighteen. You can put anything.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I didn't think of that.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
But so what goodness going backwards? Do you are? So
you're saying a postdated.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Check, Yeah, it's never cleared. I need my million dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I wrote you this check four years ago.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
See, I never would see I'm not a I can't
be a criminal. I could not think of that. I
would not think of that.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Do you think they had that problem in nineteen twenty.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
No, they had other problems in nineteen twenty. I guess
she bless their hearts.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, next year we won't have it
because you'll be writing twenty one truth, right.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Okay, so be careful and write out twenty twenty. Yeah,
I'm fine with that. That's easy.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So now you got me thinking back to the first
six days of the year when I've actually oh right,
if you're you know me, I haven't written any checks.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
But he was taking care of business man.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, I mean there have been forms that I've filled
out and stuff like that. So, like, if you're entering
credit card data online and the dropdown only has the
two digits, you can't do anything about that. But doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
They're probably not going to go in there and add tweets.
Probably not right because like Okay, slay, you wrote a
check and you wrote twenty twenty one or twenty on it,
and somebody adds a twenty one. Technically or legally, you
can't cash that check till twenty twenty one, so.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
You have a year to you know, catch that fraud.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, but that seems like really dumb. You know, it's
crazy taking a chance that the bank may actually have
that money a year from now, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
It's I still think it's cool to know. Yeah, thank you, Sam.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I mean there, I've seen so many tweets and stuff
about it from different police departments, so it's like, just
right up, it's twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
We're happy to be back. Happy New Year, you mean
happy New Years?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Okay, don't don't do the happy New Years? Okay. Over
the holidays, I was a little excited about this present
that I had bought for Murphy. Was the first one
I bought, wrapped and put on the mantle like you
didn't know, you know, we were going to keep it
low key, and I was so tickled with my all
for having thought of this for him, and he hasn't
(26:04):
he hasn't touched it since. No, I've learned my lessons.
I don't buy tech stuff for him. There's no way, Murphy,
I would do that for you.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, but I want to. I not open since.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
It's okay that you haven't. I know you're going to
like it once you finally do.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But I mean, there are some of those soaps that
I love that you got. I've not open those because
I don't need them yet.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
That's me with all that extra The real gift I
gave you was I gave him twenty three and.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Me, oh yeah, I gave.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Him the health and ancestry whatever, like, so he'll know.
He can know, so you know, if you're gonna die, Yeah,
not dying, but you.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Know already got type one diabetes. It's under control. So well,
I wonder if that will show up.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
I have a friend who has this and did it
a couple of years ago, and she still gets email like, okay,
according to new research, this is where you would fall
in this category or and she says it's fascinating. So
I thought, dang, that is so Murphy to get an
email about his genetics, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Excited about it. The reason that I haven't used it
yet is because you have to wait thirty minutes. No
no eating or drinking for thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
We haven't had any time where you've got men.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's my point. Every time I've seen it on the dresser,
I'm like, man, I just had a or man, I
just ate, you know, because they want your mouth promise.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
That you're excited about it. Yeah, because I kind of
stuck it away. I haven't seen it. I haven't heard
about it so well.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
But see, I mean to me, it's you know, it's
a serious investment, even though you've got it as a
Black Friday sale, right, didn't you say that would you
paid ful? P? No? No, I think it's fantastic. I
mean it's a good deal. You want a very gift
that you got in a discout. But see, if I
mess up the test going into it, then not only
have I wasted the test, I've wasted the money in
the deal. It's all right. So I want to make
(27:43):
sure that I my mouth is perfectly the way that
they say it needs to be before I swab.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Before you do it direct to consumer genetic time.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah, and actually it's not swab, it's spit. And I
looked at the vial. I'm like, wow, man, that's gould
take a long time.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
You'll do fine, You'll do fine. I have to tell
you a little story from over the holidays when we had
a family staying with us, namely my cousin Crystal. She's
the one that cooks the Thanksgiving meal every year, Sam.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
She's also the one that labels everything in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Everything is labeled.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Do you ever have to wonder where something is?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
When I was at her house, I asked, do you
have any cuticle oil? And she opened a cabinet and
pulled out like a container that had nail stuff in it.
In the nail oil, we're getting weird and dry and
needed a little love. It's something that women use and
men who get.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Anyway, So you've had pedicures, not manicure, so I guess
you've never had cuticle oil.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Last they put it on and the end when you're done,
and they put that little good oil and then they
rub it in. That's cuticle oil. Okay, welcome to class boys. Anyway,
she is so together that the last couple of times
she's been at our house, she can't help herself. She
organizes my pantry. It was so funny. I walked into
the kitchen like in the summer when she was there
(29:02):
and she was just organizing my pantry, and I was like,
go for it.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
It's like Monica on friend.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
She what's funny is that she taught me though without
meaning to teach me, because she said, it's it's just
putting like things together. I'm thinking I would have taken
everything out, cleaned it all out, and made an afternoon
of it and put everything back. You know, She's like, no,
she just started like it was almost like it was
happening and fast forward. She was just putting things together
that go down and.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
You organize your pantry if it's not like things together.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
First of all, it was it always starts that way and.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Then it kind of works its way. Crazy your pantry
a little bit right a book? Yeah, so you know,
I'm with you on the how do you how do
you really classify everything? Because for example, SIMI sweet chocolate
morsels could be in the baking area or they.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Could thank you, no, not in my house, it's in
the sacking area because we do mix and we do
these no bake energy bites and that's snacky stuff. Okay,
So anyhow, she did not clean my pantry this time.
She did not organize my pantry this time because I
picked on her about it. I was like, I can't wait
for you to see my pantry. And I think because
I said that to her, she didn't do it. So
(30:10):
last night I did it, and I took her advice.
Instead of making a whole two hour or deal of it,
I just put like things together and I was done
in twenty minute fifteen minutes. And it looks good, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, it looks great.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Pick up little things from those around you, and I
sure did. From her.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Coming up after the show, how do you keep a
determined dog from getting out from under the fence, you know,
one of the constantly digs. I think that Jody and
I have finally figured that out.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Sweet Laylah.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
We'll go there after the show today in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
So towards the end of the year, apparently a big
time for surgeries and surgeons, because I know you had
foot surgery.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I got mine in New Year's Eve. I know Sam
knows how to ring in a New Year's Night, and
I know how to work that deductible.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Hey, we're going to get to that later. We want
to hear your stories and all that. But our oldest
Taylor had her wisdom teeth extracted right right when we
were all from work and the start of the holiday season.
And the most interesting surprising thing about that for me,
she did fine and all that, but was that it
(31:12):
was really hard for me to give her those strong
pain medications once it was and I know she needed them,
and there's nothing wrong with pain meds whenever you legitimately
need them. It's what they're four And I get that,
and I didn't want her to feel pain. And she
had five teeth removed five. I know.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I thought there were four wisdoms me too.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Somehow she went up with the fifth.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
One was like I got five, so this is even
more anyway, and thrown around name, name hermie. She had five,
and so it was a serious deal and so giving
her that was hard for me, just knowing how serious
it is, how addictive it can be, how it can
make you loopy. And I don't know how it was
felt wrong.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Was that because of your experience with it or is
it just everything that you've seen around both?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Because when I had foot surgery and I had to
take it, I'm I'm here to say it was hard
to stop taking it. I mean, I was pretty uncomfortable
when I was weaning myself off.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Look, I love the way that you handled that though.
I mean it was it was like the big to
do list with the time sitting next to it. It
was a perfectly structured log.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
For when she could take it. And I'm smart, Yeah,
I had to, had to. You're on the same stuff, rint, Yes, Sam.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah, I'm on lard tab. Are you still I haven't
taken one in two days?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Then you're not on it?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Well, I mean I couldn't deal with the pain for
a day or so there, right, Yeah, Now it's it's
I don't need it, so I want to take it right.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
And that's really what it is. You use it as
it's intended, but I think it's really I mean, being
so aware of how addictive that those things.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Are now felt so wrong. My child, she's fine now,
by the way, wisdom teeth gone all five.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Or for you, Jody, there's something I forgot to tell
you about after my surgery, when my toe surgery, my mom,
since she was my chauffeur, we had to go to
the pharmacy, you know, to get my pain meds. You
know you got them when you get home. Well, she
goes in to get them comes back.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I left it.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
The guy said there's only six of them, so you're
gonna have to get another prescription.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
It's like, what what?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
We weren't two minutes away from the pharmacy when I
got the text said it was all done. So she
goes back to pick them up. She comes out with
my prescription and one of those giant tins of popcorn,
you know, the holiday popcorn.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
It was on sale, Donand yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Sitting in the car like, oh my god. She comes
out with pills and popcorn, Like what is this?
Speaker 3 (33:32):
That's why they were right out of door.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
They were on sales the door with Murphy.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
It doesn't matter what. You're there to pick up life
saving gauze or something, and he's kit kats.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
By the way, my popcorn ten has the grench on
it too.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Perfect.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
That's cute.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
If you're in a good relationship and you want to
keep it happy, mine's pretty good. Big singles working out
for you, Sam, Right, Well, that's okay, that's great.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
He's enjoying me myself and I that's right.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
But happy couples are saying, and I totally get this
and believe it that one of the keys to a
happy relationship is me time. They get some time with
themselves every day, like to do whatever, to take a nap,
to read, to go for a walk. You have to
separate and come back to yourself in order to be
(34:22):
any good for somebody else. And I totally feel that.
In fact, I get it, maybe because there's so much
socializing in my life like here.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Well it's you know, they say a great relationship is
two independent people sharing, which they you know, they call
it interdependence. Well that's what Stephen Covey called it. Anyway.
You know what I'm saying, I'm.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Out of a seminar.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
There's independence, there's dependence, and then there's interdependence, which is
you know again, because when you have your own life,
then you actually have something additional to share, you know
what I mean? Yes, thanks doctor Phil.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
So get away from each other and that's daily stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Too, is what you're talking about, not just the big
trips to Vegas you like to do. I like the
trips Murphy. Jody told me that you're setting her up
for her next me time.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
A yeah, odd that I haven't taken mine yet, but
of course that's my own issue. I haven't done it.
But yeah, she's gonna go do the crew.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Don't say it like that.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I mean she and her cousins are gonna go see
Motley Crue. Now know it's your friends, you and your
best friends from high high.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
School girlfriends, the three of us, Me, Rachel, and Lisa
are going to see the Stadium tour, which is Motley Crue,
def Leppard, I think Poison and Joe Yet that is
going to be a show arguing overnight.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, they've got some question marks on Vince Needil's ability
to sing. Well, I don't know how that's gonna work out.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
But you know, and this is a summertime thing. It's
summer trip we're taking to go do this. What's funny,
the reason we're doing it is because that's Motley Crue
and def Leppard all that. That's how we became friends
being those girls in high school leaving school. Early music
was the bond.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Well, you know, with Poison on the bill, you could
always have Brett Michael's come over and do the Vince
Neil stuff with Motley Crue.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Let's not talk about that right now. Let's just talk
about you know, me time and girl trips. Sam. I
forgot to mention this Murphy was delighted. I found a
new way to cook cabbage, and I did it on
New Year's Day. And I know you're making a face.
You don't like cabbine.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Only good way to cook cabbage is coleslaw.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
No, not true. I grew up eating it the country way.
My grandmother used to make it in a cast iron skillet.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Did you make cabbage rolls or just no?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Just cabbage, corn bread, cabbage anyway. I found this recipe
for cabbage in a Dutch oven in your oven. Yeah,
and you just put bacon on the bottom of the
Dutch oven.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
You shrud up the cat well, you cut up the
cabbage into like wedges. You put butter, salt, onion, and
some apple cider vinegar just a little bit, and you
just cook it like on three hundred for two and
a half hours. Murphy's in love with it. It's a lot.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Oh, it's incredible. I mean, but I love I've loved
cabbage since I was a kid. It's funny. Sam was
like our oldest daughter Taylor. He doesn't like pickles or
anything that can be pickled exactly.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
You and Taylor could eat nuggets together, chicken nuggets anyway.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I don't you like sauerkraut though too? I love so.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Yeah, yeah yeah, which is pickled cabbage. So it was
the it's the easiest way I've ever made it. I
wanted to have a conversation with my grandmother because the
way she taught me was harder, which is why I
don't make it very often. And I found this in
like an the Joanna Gaines cookbook. So anyway I found it,
I'll share it with you. It's Joanna Gaines, but I'll
put it on our website. Murphy Samonjody dot com.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Jody, you were telling us earlier Taylor had her wisdom
teeth taken out going into the holidays and had five.
And that's the thing that gets me. There's five, not four.
I've tried to let that go. But what I want
to know is did the tooth fairy take care of
this one?
Speaker 3 (38:01):
No, the doctor took care. We didn't see them.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Oh oh she didn't get them back?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
No? Why not? Were I supposed to ask for them?
I didn't want. I don't want a bunch of teeth
hanging around.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Well it might be a little late, now, excuse me, right, Well,
did you.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Get your wisdom teeth back when you had them removed
years ago.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yeah, I remember that big, giant long one I had. Yeah,
I got mine. I had my tonsils from when I
was in I don't.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
We don't keep it great. I would say that the
tooth Fairy rewarded with quite a few things in those
couple of days that were happened. Yeah, but there were
no teeth to be reclaimed. Gotcha.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
We don't keep body parts. You do, but we don't.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
