Always love with you hanging out after the show. Another
episode we do every single day, and thank you for

Speaker 2 (00:07):
This isn't really an issue that's happened a lot since
the world has switched to smartphones, because I use my
smartphone as my be all, end all. It's phone, It
plays my music, it has my alarms on it every morning,
so that's what wakes me.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Up, and that's normal, I think.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Right I still have the bedside table alarm clock that
that's kind of my boots go. It's just it's because
it's a comfort thing and it's always been my backup.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Really, probably because you always did you know what? Because
you always did.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
You know what. One of the things that I have
purged from the closet in my thirty minute you know thing.
I had thirty minutes to clean out stuff, decide whether
to keep, trash, sell or donate. And so I'm going
to sell my clock radio in the garage sale because
it's been sitting there. I haven't used that thing in
probably six years.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I think anybody's gonna come up and say, what's this possibly.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Well, what's funny is I wanted to keep it, thinking, well,
maybe I would use some sort of a radio clock
combo again at some point in the future.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
But my thinking is, I know this phone's gonna work,
so that's my main source. I have that as a
backup just in case the phone drops out. That way,
I have two different source backups, as you know. And
it's got the big old numbers on it. So when
I walk in the bedroom, I can see the clock
from across the room and say, okay, it's three this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Problem I've had lately, and this is really frustrating, is
when the alarm when the power goes out at home.
So when the power goes out at home and I
don't have the fancy clocks, I have to go through
the house and reset all the phones, I mean all
the clocks, and that's microad, the fancy clock, and that's
the oven, and all you know, all the kids bedroom
since I have fifteen kids, have to do everybody's bedroom.
(01:45):
And the other morning, one of the things I forgot
to do was reset my backup alarm clock on my
my my phone, I mean not my phone, on my
alarm clock next to the table, the actual.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Clock clock radaro clock.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Okay, so in doing that. You know, I go to bed,
I got my routine turn on the alarm clock next
to the table, and I had left it set for
midnight because you know, when things reset with the power outage,
it goes out at midnight or everything's at midnight. Zero's
where it starts. Yeah, so sure enough midnight the other
morning and this is a weekend. Oh no, everything goes off.
(02:19):
The music starts playing, and it's like, what what what?
What happened? And then you know, the first thing I'm
thinking is my phone didn't go off. That's odd, And
it's like and then you know, you start coming out
of that haze and realize I forgot to set the
alarm on my front my clock radio.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
But don't. And I don't know how old this clock
radio is. I know most clock radios now have a
battery backup, SAM, I know. I mean, you really need
to upgrade.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I guess it's what I need to do. I just
you know, you buy them and you're sticking there and
you just leave them forever.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I mean, if you're gonna keep one and use it
and really depend on it, maybe you should have that
just because that won't happen.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
It's the reason we do things because we've always done
them a certain way. They say. Also, as you get older,
this is completely different sort of subject. Fashion. Yeah, you
are always more likely to gravitate toward things that looked
good on you or you liked in your time when
you were growing up and started picking out your own
clothes and things like that. And that's true. That's how
(03:15):
people get stuck in ruts like, oh, she looks like
she's still wearing blank blank or mom JNS or whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
He's still wearing pants.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And there are times when I look at the clock
radio and go, you know, and you might pick up
a new one at Walmart and this one's looking old,
and I just never get around to it. The other
issue is when I tell the kids, hey, or they'll
say Dad, the clocks blink in and say, oh, we
had a power out. It just reset your clock, and
they all know how to do it nice. They don't
think about the alarm clock. So there will be every
(03:42):
now and then in the middle of the night, you know,
we had to reset the clocks. None of the kids
are there. It's a weak night midnight and Jack's raw
my hair, and it's like you wake up and you
got to go across that and the dog's looking at
you like I didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I didn't do me.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
If that happened enough to me, that would be the
reason to get rid of them. The kids wake up
to their phones anyway when they have to set an alarm.
That would be enough, because wake me up in the
middle of my precious sleep for something that could be avoided. Yes,
you know it's done.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It's done in that case, Murphy, I may have some
extra items for your grass. There you go, missing five
alarm clocks.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Although now what you're saying about a backup though, makes
me think should I keep doing I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
He's a keeper. He's a keeper.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Go back and take it out the box.
