of it thank you so much for your patience this morning I appreciate you it's all good T's like I don't know what we're doing or how this works so I'm just going to sit here and wait for her until she tells me when to go oh it was it was beautiful watching you it was a disaster I can't buy my laptop I was having I'm having a Lady Gaga moment you have to have your own reality show where are my keys I lost my phone what's happening and thank you very much for calling me and asking me what I wanted for a coffee today you're welcome but they um got you the wrong order it's iast yeah um the thing about that was they actually said honey honey I'm so sorry honey honey honey we can't do hot you were honeyed I was honeyed to death and she ended up getting a tip even though she gave you a nice it was all the Honeys yeah it was the Honeys Honeys always work remember that except if you're a woman well that's true we don't like the honey yeah if if I was the honey you yeah no right no no no no no don't do that that right it is a general there was something where I told my husband the other day and he's like you know that's not what I meant I'm like but when you said that oh he told someone to smile more oh no Cliff Cliff no no no but he didn't mean it in a in a bad fashion when you're talking and you're using your audio you can tell when you're smiling yeah it brings up your voice just an octave and it was always something that I was taught when I am reading a commercial or reading for something in radio my you were taught to laugh though you were like you laugh at anything I just watched it oh my God I laugh at myself girl you an idiot I just start laughing no I really I was taught to just when you deliver deliver with a smile it actually changes the way your voice sounds that makes sense I know he's like I know what you're saying I think that that was part of when I was on the field doing um popor or cheerleading oh wow ready okay good times so we have got Jackie good morning thanks for joining us cdy good morning why I answer my customers phones with a smile to creep them out that's great Cindy is fabulous she is uh one of our DJs here at lemon Ado and uh she opens up the com show over at the warf oh no way on Mondays so um Alex GM papa is going to be over there this Monday and uh he is nothing short of spectacular now which Warf is this right across from you 100 yards from my house 100 yards from your home Cindy I'll see you on Monday you can go and see a great comedy show I definitely suggest taking in Alex Alex does comedy that is funny that is relevant that is a little political but it's just poking fun at absolutely everybody and it's enjoyable and that's what you got to do in life just laugh yeah you know yep and he really he brings it let me just tell you I've had him on my show before and he's done nothing like I we can't be together in a room oh wow because I just laugh at him and he's just very flat what's his last name GM Papa GM Papa that's pretty funny you can't forget it definitely worth seeing him he's defin a stoner he's just very like lowkey this is the way it is and then you're like oh my God that's really funny you've got to think when you're with comedians you have to realize how much writing goes into their act before it gets seen by people the amount of times that they've Rewritten jokes they rewrite jokes on the Fly depending on what the audience thinks is funny at this point so Cindy she she was fabulous she plays some good music and uh she gets to go and she'll get the crowd going for us for sure very cool so when you brought me my coffee this morning and the order was wrong you said remind me to talk about Zoe Sana which made me I was like how how does wrong coffee and Zoe Sana go together so I worked on this movie called constellation in Huntsville Alabama um I think it was like around 2000 how did that come up they were trying to make one of my books into a movie it never happened no offense that's why I'm here thanks T um so they said hey you can be a production assistant on the movie so I said yeah let's let's do this thing so my job basically was to get coffee drive people around I drove Billy D Williams around nicest man in the world he seems like a really nice I loved him in fact I told him that my dad loved the movie branon and he's like well let's call up your dad and I give him the phone and he talked to my dad for about 20 minutes are you kidding me no lie I another great story about him was one night uh there was this place it was like the only Steakhouse in you know Huntsville and I was in charge of driving him there and getting him out early because he was supposed to be in the makeup chair at 5: in the morning oh but Billy liked to liked to talk so around 9:00 I'm I'm like I we got to wrap it up you know so I'm about to walk in the front door and there all these guys with like Star Wars stuff you you know merchandise and all that so I go in the back like through the kitchen kind of like Good Fellas you know yeah and I go up to uh Billy and I said Billy we got to go and he said well I I go let's go on the back entrance you know because there's people in the front yeah and he looks at me he goes Ted the reason I'm eating the steak is because of those people oh and we went in the out front and he signed love people that love their fans so the next morning the producer goes to me she goes wow he looks really tired you really got him out at 9: no we got back at around 11 so he was awesome Zoe didn't like how I would get her coffee um in fact it was really when Starbucks was really starting to take off yeah and she'd go oh my gosh I didn't get you know how they get the pumps of this that and the other thing and she's like did Ted get my coffee I'm like oh gosh here we go again your is always shitless yeah yeah and and I was like I always tell people if I just got her coffee right because like I don't know 10 years later I'm at Burger King a little depressed and I look at the the cup and there she is Avatar on the cup and I'm like I should have got her coffee right she would have remembered me I could have been running around could something right you could have been her coffee boy for Avatar instead you have always been writing your entire life yes um really my dad was a writer I grew up you know I've told this story before he would tell us bedtime stories but it wasn't nice and shiny armor and all that he he'd be like I'm going to tell you about a guy who escaped from prison I love that yeah nothing like terrifying your children and I was five years old and and really I grew up with that he would wake me up and say hey on the waterfront is is on right now and I would watch a movie with him at like 10 o'clock at night that's awesome so that that was here's little buddy yeah yeah yeah he was the best and you're actually putting together a book for him yeah so he he um taught in Scotland in ear I think 1963 had quite a story life this one yeah and so when he got to Scotland the crazy thing happened was the Headmaster said hey it says on your resume that uh you know you you coached or you played basketball and he said yeah he said great because we're starting a basketball team and you're going to be the coach okay he said he couldn't believe it he's like well you don't even have a court he goes no they put one in seriously so the first day he got there never mind teaching English which he was psyched about he had to it's like out of a movie like these rag I got a basketball team of Scots and I got got teach Engish he walks in and these kids are trying to kick the basketball into the hoop hysterical and he's like yeah that's not how it's done anyway I don't want to give away the book but he really brought something out of them I love that so A couple of years before he passed I I'm like Dad we gotta make this into a book so we turned it into fiction because that's what we do you know the Murphy's we like we like to stretch a story and uh and so we wrote this book and I picked it up I don't know last year and I was like it's a manuscript right now yeah and I don't know when gonna put it out but after reading I was like I gotta put this out for I love that I gotta put it out for Jimbo well I'm definitely in for it so I'm looking forward to that because I think that that's pretty cool what are we gonna call it it's called the hound dogs all right yeah because uh there's a there's a character in it who's actually not the basketball player but he's the heart of the story yeah and they call him Elvis because he slicks back his hair and he thinks he's really cool but he's really not but he's an awesome kid so you're really good Storyteller just in general not just in on the paper you know what I mean it takes a certain someone to Captivate an audience when they're having a conversation or getting people excited about an idea can you tell my wife that how many times have you pitched though I really want you to talk about we'll get into your classes and all the stuff that you do with the youth but I think it's just really good conversation to have on this gloomy day where you sometimes get down on yourself about the things that are going on and I feel like as an artist you always have to like start the with like we're going to have a great day and it's going to be the lies you tell yourself to get up and get motivated and get positive a little bit you know it's Wednesday it's hump day it's always a difficult day especially for me today I was like right foot left foot let's do this you got this to do I got this pile of stuff to attack I like this we're both like right that's it just drink the latte get it going um but but you do and you have to psych yourself up for those spaces and maybe talk about being a writer and how not every I mean you think every idea is a great idea then you pinch somebody and you're like okay well that was not a great idea well especially with my kids stuff I always run it by them yeah your daughter even she's like no that that's horrible but but that's Lily anyway that's Lily period yeah she she does Channel her Wednesday Adams just a little bad but but it's it's great to get that feedback of U when it hits you know it hits with my kids so I'll be like oh okay I'll put that on the side but you also need other people in your life that's why you're you're a wonderful friend because you you get it because you're you're creative you're you're in the creative world yeah so I can tell you about the gloomy days and in fact I would love to give a shout out to my best friend Mark Penta it's his birthday today happy birthday Penta P happy birthday and um so I can call him up and he knows exactly what I'm going through and I I just let it go and be like and I should say Mark Penta is Mark p.com and Mark is my collabor I can't even say the word co-collaborator there maybe maybe

WR it class they'll they'll actually give me their phones yeah and I always say I feel like a saloon keeper like in the old west you know because they're like ah but then it's not the bathroom key it's the phone it's the phone and but their imaginations come alive yeah when they put this stuff away yeah and um and it's Awakening yeah absolutely and we need more of that they don't have it and it's not the teachers fault because the teachers are like given so much that they have to do yeah that I when I go to schools teachers are like oh we get to be creative for a change yeah and we need more of that yeah it's a spark for sure yeah um I bopped into one of your classes fairly recently and you know they were that was an older class yes yes I'm teaching adults as well I taught at Bost in

part of the Murphy it's part of the Murphy's long long lost Murphy and Mrs McDonald in red red ink was like really Margaret and Jim question mark is this true yeah so they had to uh take me aside and teach me about embellishing my stories I'm like yeah but but we're just Irish it's kind of boring I wrote a milia airheart into our family tree does anybody have a problem with that I'll I'll tell you it was exciting for like one recess like the kids were like wow wow and then the next day they're like you you're a liar that he's been storytelling ever since and I just thought it was so cute because it's so typical of that grade though first second third want to be cooler than you are you want to be a little different than what you have I think I was B you know how they'd say the weight when you're a baby I think I was like 15 pounds you know like I was I'm the heaviest baby ever this is Mrs McDonald again like no see a places see Storyteller it's perfect wash aore remix I love it good morning Ashley Alex and Chase con are driving Alex the owner of shipwreck oh boy wow well if you want to own shipwreck you know try to set something up tonight shout out to um our our our lost friend alvy who I just have such great fond memories I actually have a photo of him on my piano upstairs of winning the demolition derby one time and our friend cat who also won the demolition derby so I have both of their photos sitting on my piano I absolutely love the demo derby I have such great memories of there was one point where I had had just had Cody so I had Cody on my front and Lily on my back and I was out there handing out stuff right near all of the Smashing and the crashing I'm like what could go wrong I'm fine with two kids on me right they're like yeah go run run run over there okay with a bunch of amateur drivers what B could happen oh my gosh well first of all I love cat always love cat yeah um but when it comes to alvy when we wrote the book The Running waves we actually sponsored and again I've never been to one with he had a bunch of sponsors but he sent me a picture of the running waves like he you know oh I have a picture of that car yeah and um Aly was the best yeah he did so much for our whiffle ball tournament um a great alvy story just a goon yeah yeah loved them actually I'll save that one for it's a great Al I I loved alv I still love Alie yeah right I know I know and you brought up the the running wave so maybe talk about some of your your books that you have out there that you know may or may not be movies all of these are like kind of floating projects for you right now yeah um well I wrote The Running waves with my brother it's the book is about two brothers in 1994 they've they're dealing with losing friends in an accident and that anniversary was this week because I I feel like I saw a seatan post something about it yes but I want to be very clear about this because people there's some misconceptions about this book yeah the book is about two brothers overcoming loss so when I when I brought my myself to it I was dealing with losing my friend in an accident so it's a fictional book about that and when my brother got sober he said I want to help kids who you know go off the reals because unfortunately we have these tragedies time and time again every year so we sat down and we wrote that book and and it's it was you know writing is therapy and for both of us it helped us but it's also helped people it's it's not a pleasant book yeah it's it's it's a tough book um but I feel like it deals with a lot of subject matters unfortunately a lot of our kids deal with and I think it's actually just a nice like kind of catch her in the Rish like very Coming of Age those uncomfortable awkward moments those moments that everybody has faced with and what you do with it exactly and and and stuff that you don't go to your parent we wish we all wish unfortunately my children go to me with it and I'm like you're not supposed to tell me that I'm your mother that's true we have a different relationship but yeah we we never went to our parents no and and and actually that joking aside that's the beauty of evolving is that kids actually now do come to the parents most kids yeah a lot of them but but in this case when like back back in the 90s we did not go to our parents that was just we kept it all inside and and when you keep it inside it comes out in bad ways Y and that that's what that book is um now here here here's a completely different book another this is a different kind of dark this is really dark um this is not a kids book which is why you changed your author name yes so I I got a deal with a company uh called cro press and uh the by the way I follow them now and I've read two or three of the other authors that are with cro because they're local yes and they're really there there's some good stuff in there different stuff in there the the publisher Mary petite um she's she's just a wonderful person and we really need Cape books in Cape book stores yes please and so keep that in mind all these Cape book stores um so so when she I met with her and she goes you know Ted I absolutely loved this book but I can't publish it thank you but no I said well thanks Mary and she said unless we get a um a different imprint so she came up with with dark Waters books because it's a it's a thriller hey Ashley Hi Megan and then she said how about you come up with the name because I'm known for the you know the TM Murphy right books kids coloring book with yay we're happy we're doing school visits can't have that so she said we can't have that so I always I wanted it to be an Irish first name so I always like the name Declan yeah so but I didn't want it to be like Dean M you know right um so I was like something quick something quick I like how you turned into a leprechaun there so I became Dean Rush right and so we we we basically came about about the deal at the Dolphin um in Barnstable yeah and I came home I came home that day and I'm like hey hun Dean rushes in the house I love that it was born over there I don't think that I knew that story there's something about that area of barnable it's across from the court it's where all the ghost stories are it's it's it's got this like I don't know it's a heavy Vibe yeah so I like that Dean Rush was born over there I think it's actually good and I thought it was really cool yeah so I'm I said to my wife I'm like Dean Rush is in the house and she's like get away from me you creep didn't marry that so so that so this is a Cape Cod Thriller and they want me to write a series so I'm probably 70 pages into the next book it's going to take a while because I don't I tried to outline like a 200 Page book like but my plots go so you know so it's going to be a while yeah but um that's okay read the first one you're you're still having success selling this one and shout out to our friends over at Falmouth Fish

there um lots of whales on the cape right now one uh that looked a little crazy in New Hampshire yeah it was two of them so that knocked over a boat yeah that is like my actual fear is just being somewhere where I'm not supposed to be and all of a sudden a whale just like smashes Us in and now I'm in the open water with a whale yeah like that is not that is a nightmare to me I just wonder about the guy videoing it right like like oh wow I really got some he didn't even Shake in his camera work I'm getting this one this is going to make me viral sorry buddy I'd be throwing the phone going oh my God I'd be the one with that b the bad Boston one the baby wheel oh yeah the baby wheel that would be me was that Judy Collins it might have been Judy Collins's brother Tom Tom Collins Toms oh my gosh so yeah that happened and then those idiot girls in chatam they've finally been identified so so this stuff makes me angry yes we've all had a night where we're doing dumb things in public but this one really made me mad because there are cameras everywhere and it's a thing that I tell my kids all of the time when you leave this home remember there is a video of you doing all of the things that you were doing out there in life it's just a good Ru it's a good rule of thumb to realize when you are in public you can be videotaped and things will be used against you no matter what so these idiots rolled up at an art installation and started jumping over them kicking them down knocking them down the whole video is there they've got the one the black and white one but then they've got another camera from nearby I don't know whether it's a ring camera or not with like all of the actual voices and how wasted they actually were and doing this stuff and the amount of hours that these Artisans spent making this art display makes me so angry for you idiots to just start knocking them down H how old were they the 20 something okay yeah I think so they already got into college 20 to 25 so for the younger kids remember you might have to write that college essay of the time I destroyed you know just don't do it no it's horrible and now you're fully embarrassed because it's all over social media and these are teachable moments they won't do that again applying for her job right what have you done lately well well you might have seen some of my work God idiots uh

there that seems everybody seems to like that one their big Gathering room upstairs is very cool but that's about it that's it well that's that's all I've seen yeah I can't afford to actually stay in those Auto camper things those are expensive so you do an event and they like Stephanie get out bye I'm like but I want to check one out can I stay no no I'm not not spending that that's for sure uh your wife loves dock talk yes doc talk is and I have to bring this up um doc talk is this thing where they do dad jokes but they do it like complete plain-faced so I edit a podcast for the financial association of North Carolina and she it's a very serious podcast talking about very serious Financial stuff but at the end she always waits and it's like an extra on the end of it and does dad jokes to whoever it is that she's interviewing and there are bad dad jokes yeah and are there good dad jokes I don't know I think some are like good chuckle worthies so I wrote one down and I I'll I'll try I these guys are amazing the way they present it so I'll try to do it the way they do it but my dog swallowed the Scrabble letters I took him to the vet no word yet so bad so bad but you can't not watch them just because I feel like they're so Rel like whatever the whole thing is going their kids are playing in the background they're just telling bad jokes back and forth nobody's laughing Jen goes down this Rabbit Hole I'm like what are you doing and she's like I'm I'm watching the dad jokes I'm watching dad jokes what so yeah stuff we get sucked into what are you watching right now um so for guilty pleasure stuff I like to say uh below deck Med Mediterranean so good oh my gosh so I love that in fact my so my stepdaughter got me into the whole deck thing it's kind of like our bonding thing okay and um a couple years ago uh for Jen's birthday I got captain Lee yeah to do a cameo oh my God that's awesome and he's like hey Jennifer happy birthday that's can you send that to me yeah I will I will because my sister's name is Jennifer and I can I can reuse that because she really likes below deck 100 bucks 100 bucks um that's the funny thing about the Cameo thing I got it right at the right time yeah because now yeah yeah shout out to Dr Leone you know who you are and why I'm giving you a shout out continue on so so yeah so below deck we watched that ju Just because my wife you know she worked for many years in the service pleasure TV so you watch the service part of it and and we talk about like oh that's ridiculous right um the other thing is again guilty pleasure claim to fame I don't know what that is okay it's it's their second season uh I think it's a couple of the Jonas Brothers like the not famous Jonas brother um sorry Chuck or whoever your name is I think it's Joe right that's the least famous W is Joe is it I think so so so they host it and what it is is they how do I explain is it the married Jonas brother I don't someone can write in I don't know but the whole point is you try to figure out who these celebrities are related to oh so I like that so they don't necessarily look like they're celebrity people so it's kind not at all they're like a cousin to like so you get like little baby Clues to guess who they lot lot of Clues and they go through I like games yeah they do the like Survivor kind of stuff and and they weed them out so they're they're guessing so they're other celebrities so they're guessing who the the person is okay so I think I could get down with that yeah it was great I'm looking for something right now everything's bad I fell asleep watching alone speaking of your camping story it's literally 10 people are dropped off in the woods and whoever survives last is the winner half million doll yeah I've seen that so I like woke up and I'm like listening to this like it's weird you know when you're physically awake but you can't move your body and your eyes are closed had this moment and this guy is having like this panic attack cuz a bear is like hanging out next to him and he's like I'm so scared it's just not worth being here anymore and I'm like I can't wake up and I'm like oh this is terrifying this was my morning yeah um the summertime though is for those kind of show Frank Jonas thank you Jeff was that gon yeah it was gon yeah gon would know um yeah summertime is for those kind of shows I think because like then then then you you dig in and you watch the real good stuff yeah I don't need something that I'm like so glued to because I I've got things to do and it's a busy time of year exactly exactly um God I feel like we talked about all the stuff that we wanted to talk about today oh by the way our question of the day is I'm always you know you do your prompts your just writs before we get to that I I throw one out every single day because I wake up with like the dumbest thing and I just couldn't find anything in my junk drawer but there's literally everything in my junk drawer so what is the one item that a junk drawer needs to have oh batteries right what is it batteries usually batteries that don't work they're they're used they're always used cuz you don't you can't throw them away and you don't know where to put them you always go like oh maybe we get a like a little charge in this thing my junk drawer is full of dead batteries full of it I got to clean this out dead batteries that was a great band the 80s loved them you have a running list of things that you think would make great band names yes and I can't read any of them right now it's like list I have probably a thousand you think yeah conservatively a thousand of them on there so when somebody whenever you're hanging out with Ted no matter where you are if you say something that he's like oh that make a good band name and it'll put it on the list and there are actually over a thousand on this crazy list that he has but I also don't write down what like Stephan yes because that's the fun part when you go back you go what was going on that night who was I yeah who who was I who was I with who was talking could be anybody but uh it's now yours though that's the beauty of that hey is it okay if I give well I'm doing it go I want to give a shout out to Kevin Riley from uh Speak Easy Cape Cod he does he has this incredible bar that he goes all around like he built it himself y I've seen it yeah and he he did a party for my stepdaughter a a a mocktail party so he does all cool yeah and it was really cool so I just wanted to to thank him for for that a good beverage cart so if you need that for any of your parties whether it's a mocktail or a cocktail he's got a Speak Easy K Cod yeah follow him on Instagram yeah that's nice when you're having an outdoor party like that's I it's needed get outside honestly just we're so full here on the cape with people all right say your goodbyes is because we've been here yapping for an hour I can't even believe it well thank you for having me and again happy birthday to Penta and Bart Ferris and um and buy my book yeah I I should yeah why am I doing that I should be going like buy my book buy my book take my classes but yeah definitely if you like to write and you feel like there's not a place for you well I have the place it's called the writer Shack in Falmouth Heights and I teach kids but I also teach adults and they find their voice and one of my students sarl Dawson she just published a book 13 spoons and the cool part of that was I noticed that in her short stories she kept mentioning spoons and I'm like just throw more spoons in your short stories and she came up with 13 spoons so if you like to write uh um follow me on Facebook the just write it class or on Instagram TM Murphy writer or uh maob trophies on Instagram uh also you've had another famous writer fairly recently that was honored on the big screen oh yes um her name is Julia Cox she took my class when she was nine until she was about 21 and she wrote a movie called nied with yeah with jod Foster insane yeah and um she was nominated well the movie itself was nominated for Academy Award but she was nominated for best adapted screenplay for a Writers Guild Choice Award and she got to hang out with scorsi and all the I've never seen a more proud papa it was like the the the writing Papa I was like oh it's my girl I she she really I mean she is like a daughter to me I mean her dad Jim's like I'm the father right I did I did the heavy lifting mph move out of the way yeah but um but it was my Miyagi moment and and that's but I have those moments it doesn't have to be big or small where a person just goes oh my gosh what what was great recently was this woman wrote something about her stepfather and that meant a lot to me she actually gave it to him for his birthday that's awesome and she said it was the the greatest gift I could ever Mari says that Mariana just loves your class and she's just really she's loving it fantastic she's a great kid great kid and a talent what watch big things coming from her I love that you Foster that whether they're kids or whether they're adults if you're looking to do something creatively with your writing um definitely go and take one of Ted's classes you won't be sorry about it and I love that it always stays in the writer Shack so you really do Foster their confidence a lot yes but I'll come up to class and my wife's like how'd it go and I'm like great but I can't tell you right because that that's the biggest part of writing is you have to have that that positive safe environment yeah because writing as I said earlier is also therapy and a lot of people get stuff out that they they need to get out yeah that's awesome I love that as such a open space for them to be able to explore that so just write it everybody Ted thank you so much for being on with us today uh if you're looking for something fun to do we've got it for you Cliff is going to be over at Cap Cod beer for some
