Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choty Weekend Show podcast, highlighting
some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I don't know if you've ever had one of those
finding a van go at a garage sale moment?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Man, I want to, but man, I want to.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yesterday A Declaration of Independence full of the original by
John Hancock.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Now I don't want to document. I want something beautiful.
I want art.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well, you told us earlier this week about the Boba
Fette that they had the family found in the attic
when mom passed away, still in the package on Star Wars.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, also this in the past week. Uh, this Luke
Skywalker card original Luke Skywalker card sold for almost seven
hundred thousand dollars. It shattered a record.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Wow, so no way.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I looked at this card and I thought, man, this
sure looks familiar, and I sure did collect I got
four of them.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh my god, Oh wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
It's like a full house. Yeah Skywalker.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Now, the thing is this was a this card that
sold for six hundred and eighty seven thousand was It's
called PSA Gem Mint Condition ten. It's like the highest quality.
Nothing is wrong with it. Mine I can see one
of them the corners is all dinged up because I
was probably using it as a child. The other three
looked pretty good, great, but they also one of the
(01:21):
things that great on is centering, and I can see
the three of these look like they might be a
little off center.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
That's the printer's problem, not yours.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's my problem if I want to get six hundred
and eighty seven thousand dollars, because it wouldn't be grade
at a ten. It would be downgraded to like a
four or something.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
What's freaking me out is that, isn't it true that
the card that got all the money was probably it's
in a protective case.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oh yeah, it's in one of those protective plastic cases,
hard cases. And I think they're murphy. I think they're
even like sealed so like no air can get in.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Oh okay, and so would that be like in its
original packaging? Is that part of it all?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
This isn't the original packaging. This is somebody collector that
put it in one of those Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Wow, Okay, you can.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
See up top, it's all the grating is up top,
like this is a condition you.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Imagine I think something like that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
How do you. Yeah, how do you get that appraise?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You have to send this off to the company and
it's like thirty five forty bucks a card to have
it graded.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh yeah, you don't want to do well.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I mean if it comes back and they say, yeah,
that card's worth twenty bucks, it's you know.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Send off one of them, the best one and stop
handling them like that.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Okay, make it me nervous.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
And the Luke Skywalker sticker sold for fifty seven hundred
dollars and you have that that one too. That's pretty
one of these though.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
That looks it's in really good condition. I think let
it pay for vacation.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Vacation well, I mean these three this is retirement right here.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
If you want to see what Sam's talking about, maybe
you've got one just like it. You can check it
out on our socials or at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
This is an email that could make your life better,
certainly could make your day better, and I want to
share it. It came into Murphy Samonjody dot com from
so we've heard from so before. Hey, y'all wanted to
chime in about journaling.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Okay, I say, Sham got his mom a journal for
a mother's.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Day in hopes that she will tell some stories of
her life down some history. I started journaling. This is
from so when I was seventeen. I'm now thirty three.
It was a hard habit to begin, but now I
actually reached for my journal over my phone sometimes.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh wow, Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Something that helped me was setting a ten to twenty
minute timer at night and just brain dump. I jot
down the highlights of my day what bothered me? A
quote someone said that I wanted to remember whatever I write,
just anything. With fifteen years of journaling, I can see
how far I've come over the years. Yes, it is
(03:49):
cringey to see what I wrote at seventeen, at twenty one,
at twenty five, or even what I wrote last week.
It's still a reminder of what of all I've accomplished
and overcome. Journaling is a hard task to begin. But
something I tell my clients is to task parrot. I
believe so is a counselor okay, task parrot. Find a
(04:10):
time of day when when you consistently do something like
a coffee break or your nighttime routine. Pair it with that,
jot down a few lines, and most of all, don't
overthink it.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I've heard that so many times that you know, because
I'm guilty of that. In a journal, I want to
write full sentences and they want to have it fluid
and make sense, and they say that really, just jotting
the randomness, the brain dump that So's talking about is
the easiest way to cause you get discouraged and frustrated
if it feels like it's taking you forever. At least
it was.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
You're that advice, and I'm sorry that I don't have
to have it to go back and look at and say,
what was I thinking at twenty? What was I thinking
when I met you? Guys?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I would love to know what were you thinking when
you married me?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I remember, But it's a beautiful reminder. But it's all
so a reminder that it's never too late to start.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
There are variations on that. They do say it's therapeutic
to actually do the pen to paper, pin to pad
if you do iPad things. But if you really wanted
to keep records, I mean you can dictate it into
your phone. You can. There are a lot of different
ways to do it. I don't know therapeutically, if it's
the same thing of like just that physical touch to
the paper, getting it out of your system. I don't
(05:24):
know why that works, but it works well.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
They talking to a friend sometimes. Yeah, maybe if you
dictated it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And that's a great point. True.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
All right, thank you for sending this email. Join us anytime,
be honest. Do you ever respond to text messages with
just one word?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Sam does for sure.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, I do it with one letter. Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It drives me nuts when you send K.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Thanks for letting me know.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
But I know you, but I know.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That I understand and accept that one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'm also not doing it to drive people nuts. Just
like when I then the thumbs up, it's just to me, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like, well, I think the emoji. To me it makes
it a little more connected than yes, because depending on
who it is, they may think kay, I know that.
That's the whole the whole thing about like periods and
all the other things. You never know how somebody is
going to interpret something. At least emojis can soften that
to me a thumbs up. If you say kay, and
you don't know the person that well or they don't
(06:24):
know you that well, they may see that as flippant
or just like exactly or disinterested.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
You know exactly why I bring this up. They're saying
that in our world of quick messaging, text messaging, or
whatever it is you're doing, when you're trying to respond,
try to do more than one word, especially something like
sure if you're hey, are you still coming to the party?
Sure is not the best because sure, all right, I
guess if I have to be there is what it
(06:50):
kind of sounds like, instead of yes, I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So what about when I respond to you? Instead of
saying yes, I just say toats like short for totally.
Are you okay with that?
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Because I know you're trying to be all how about.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
When I send you the emoji with the kiss?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I like it?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Okay, that's the one thing that's okay.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Also, the funny thing is about the k is. And
I don't know if your kids do this too, But
when I do that to my kids and it's like
something I said about K capitalized K, it's like, what's wrong?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
They think I'm angry because it's a capital K only
and to them that's anger.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Right, Yeah, I don't right, you're asking me that I
don't respond to my kids that way. I usually respond
in complete sentences. I do over communicate actually with punctuation
even so extra.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
All that, and there's a whole lot of I loved you,
I love yous every time in mind.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, it just sounds like they say, it needs to
sound more positive. So you know, instead of K, how
about okay okay and a smiley face. That would change
the feeling of that text for that recipient.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And I think that. You know, even in the work environment,
an email totally different deal where it's naturally more long form.
You know, there's always a everybody wants to move faster
and be efficient, and you don't have to be overly wordy,
but if you have enough to at least be nice.
It's not being taken as a command or something.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Right, So the fewer words it can be misinterpreted as passive,
aggressive or just aggressive. Yeah, give a couple more and
work on your emoji. Sam, Sure, no.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I thought you were gonna say kay.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
There's so much stuff everywhere March if you will, that
is sold to us as collectible, right, collector's item. At
the movies, you see it, the Mandalorian and Grogu movie
next week. There are like three popcorn buckets at least,
and they're all beautiful and exciting and expensive, but plastic
to me.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I even touch that little helmet the other day in line.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I was like, it's just so plastic y and I
understand this to eat popcorn.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Out of Yeah, well, I mean you don't one of
five pound metal helmet to eat popcorn out if I
get that, actually, if you drop it in theater.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
How do you know if it's actually worth collecting.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
That's a really good question. Well you know when you
said that just now too though it makes me think
about like when beanie babies were the thing, or stuffed animals.
I mean, you could technically say the same thing that
it's just a bunch of stuffing and fabric, but it's
it's a collectible for some reason.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Collectibles, and at some point collectibles are valuable or have value,
right the popcorn buckets.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But they might somebody might be fifty years there may
be one person left with a Grogo bucket and you
know what, they've just hit the jack.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I doubt that because there's so mass produced and they're
going to be held onto by Star Wars fanatics on
shelves forever. Anyway, So the questions to ask yourself, They say,
is it rare? Gro Goo buckets probably aren't rare. Is
it authentic? You're probably buying the real one.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, the real grogu bucket is one Grogo. But yes,
is it.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
In demand or will it be in demand one day?
You're right, You got to play the long game, Murphy.
You gotta wait, just like all those people with the
Star Wars original toys.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, if you want to take a chance, then you
really need to buy two. That way, one stay's package
and the other is one you use.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh now you're talking.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Huh, Yeah, you just got to one hundred bucks. That's
from my new book called How to Be a Hoarder.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yeah, that's not a new book. You guys want to
hear about the first thing I ever heard of or
saw that was supposedly collectible. My mama, Felma. I loved
her so much, and when we were little kids, we
would go spend spend time with her, and she loved
to drink beer. And I remember sitting on the front
porch with her one day and she was smoking a
cigarette and drinking a beer, which is what we did
(10:47):
on the front porch.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
She did, she didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
She had a beer can that was very artistic and
there was so much on it and I was like,
what is this and she goes, this is a collectible
bi centennial Frcan and I was like what and it
was it was.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
She didn't open it up.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
She was drinking out of it, but she kept that
thing around in her kitchen forever. I remember seeing it
for years later.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Really, yeah, you thought it was the same one.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Sam's always up on the New Eats. He's the food dude, and.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Every day starts with a nutritious breakfast. So that's where
we're going to start today on TV.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah. Part of this balanced breakfast, we have a new
Bisquick mix that is coming, cinnamon toast crunch Bisquick.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Oh stop it wait, so you make pancakes with it,
or biscuits or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You can make pancake mix, waffles, whatever you want, and
I'll tell you what. You get a hold of that
fruity pebble syrup along with the cinnamon toast crunch back pancakes.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh something Elf would eat.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
By the way, this isn't a limited time this is permanent.
So you're gonna have a choice of bis Quick or
cinnamon toast crunch biscus.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Man you can do. You can probably do some kind
of cinnamon roll with that.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
You can do copcakes, cinnamon rolls, cookies, chicken and dumplings. Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Also, Ago has a couple of new flavors for us,
Cookies and cream. Man, it's not even waffles anymore. It's dessert.
These are chocolate with little white white cream chips in them.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And they also have a cinnamon roll, which is I
got creamy icing chips in it.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Breakfast is getting in the stores more and more dessert like,
and that's not the way to start your day started
with the cereals.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I mean to think about it as a kid. You know.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
That's my mom wouldn't buy cooking sugar. Yeah, cook I
would so quickly.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You're not gonna. I'm not buying cookie crisp for you.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
They wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't want corn flakes. I want frosted flakes, right, I.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Want more sugar. Jimmy Dean has a new bacon coming
our way. It's hot bacon. If you've ever tried to
Jimmy Dean hot sausage, little but it's gonna be the
same heat as that. And I can handle this. I've
tried the hot sock we can. Okay, that's not bad.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
All the tender babies, you guys. Hot bacon sounds good.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's yeah, any kind of bacon sounds good. I got
a new tater tot shape from the folks that or right.
If you remember last week I told you they came
out with star tater tots. Well now we have Dino
tots tots. So you team this up with nuggets. Yeah,
talk about a birthday party fun.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, you can't tell a difference between a tot and
a piece of chicken.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
You probably can't terodactyl.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
And this one's a truck serra tops.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Cute stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
The folks that Slice have a new uh can drink
coming our way, Dirty slice, Yeah, okay, dirty soda, you know.
And it's not gonna have dairy in and it's got
this coconut derived oil that'll give it the creamy flavor.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
So dirty oil.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
But get this, it's gonna have all the biotics pre
post and.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Prow that should distract you from the oil.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Special guest right now, Hey Tay, Hey love having my
baby girl along. So our oldest daughter Taylor joining us
because I shared with everybody what you made for me
for Mother's Day.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You want to explain it to the guys like they're
five years old.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Yeah, sure, sure, Yeah. I made date Bark has dates,
peanut butter, dark chocolate. Some people like to add peanuts
too and call it kind of like a nature snicker
barn peanuts.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
It was pretty easy to do. Basically, just swished a
bunch of dates onto some parchment paper, drizzled some peanut
butter on top, and then melted some dark chocolate and
poured that on top, and then set it in the
fridge and cut it up. And it was super easy
and it's really good.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
A couple of things why.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
For one, I recently started eating dates more often, and
I really really loved them. You know, they taste a
lot like brown sugar. And the other reason is because
it's a healthier option, and I know that Mom has
been trying to watch it a little bit. So I
thought that, you know, instead of making like banana bread
or any other dessert that I've made in the past,
(15:11):
then this would be a good idea. And it worked out.
It was really easy and very good.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It is really delicious.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And you used organic peanut butter, Yeah, brand.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Did you use? Because this stuff is delicious.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I bought it from.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
All these Okay, so you know the one thing I
should say though, because if you're not used to eating dates,
it's very high end fiber just fy. Oh, it is
considered a natural laxative. So you don't want to eat
like four or five of these things at one time necessarily,
you know, if you're not used, if your digestive systems
(15:44):
not used to it. Not that I'm speaking from experience,
although I am.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
I was about to say, Dad, did you have some problems?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Yeah, this was a very sweet Mother's Day gift. I
love that you like you know, I am very careful
about what I eat. But it's just it looks beautiful.
It looks like a regular bark. It's very decadent.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It's just a warning that you don't want to eat
ten pieces of it without understanding.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Maybe you don't want to eat pieces, right, Okay, So
do the amounts matter? If we're gonna post the recipe tailor?
Is it like how much peanut butter? It's just how
much you want.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
I honestly didn't measure it out. What I can say
is that I did take as many dates as would
that would fill up the little tray. That I used,
we push them down. I didn't count those out and
then I honestly just eyeballed it. So just enough peanut
butter to cover like a small layer of it, and
then same thing with the dark chocolate. So I'm sor
(16:39):
I don't have measurements.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It was from the b I love it from the heart.
Taylor's date Bark, also known as Murphy's natural laxis. We
have a message from Instagram from Kirsten that I have
to share with you guys because Hi, Murphy Salmon. Joe
was listening to the podcast, heard you talking about short texts,
(17:04):
like how you know sending just K is not great.
So I'm a millennial and we are probably the first
generation to be all about texting, And here to let
you know texting K is rude to most of my
generation and gen Z. It's not just because it's capitalized.
It's the shortness of it, and in conversation even saying
(17:24):
K seems short and comes off in text as annoyed
or even mad. Just thought i'd let you know, also, kay,
instead of just the letter K is better And I
have no idea why lol.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Probably because it doesn't feel as abrupt. It's so funny
because text just doesn't have emotional context no without an emoji.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Anyway, this goes on to read.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I think my generation has put a lot of tone
behind certain texting phrases, which is also why my generation
particularly says lol a lot. It's not because something is
so funny. It's often just put too lightened the.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Tone of a text.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
And I do that a lot, Kirsten. But yeah, yeah,
because I remember, I remember when Sam went through his
CA phase, and remember the first couple of times I
got it's like, Okay, what is up? What's with the attitude,
you know, And so the.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
First time I got a k back from Sam, I'm like,
that's so Sam. He's also doing it to be Sam
and to go okay, you know, to be you, to
stand on that hill and die on that hill that
you're not going to over communicate. Yeah, Kirsten, thank you
for the lesson.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, that's awesome. And I guess Millennials were really the
first two because they were using the phones with the
keypad and the letters on the keypad to text. They
were really I say, the first anybody that had you know,
that kind of phone before smartphones, that's how you texted.
But they were super fast with it too.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
If you remember one of our producers, Bailey, he used
to talk occasionally in those things, because I remember him
every now and then, what do.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
You mean to go?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Huh Lol, it's so verbalize those things every night. Oh
we can talk.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Those now, right. It's good to talk about this because
we are all in different generations communicating, and I don't
ever want anything to be misunderstood. Kay, okay, the joke.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Love having you along. You can jump in a lot
of ways.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Murphy Samonjody dot com or I know I said my
name weird Murphy Samonjody dot com.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Sorry, Jurny Sam and Judy.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Jody dot com or on social media.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
So Peggy sends this email Jody, she's really your spirit animal.
I think this is the right term for this, the
way this reads. She said, I heard Jody talking about
her walks, and I had to add my thought. When
you were talking, yeah, when you were talking about your watch,
you were talking about how you like to get outside,
that you can do a treadmill, but you would rather
be out of nature. That's where she's going with this.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Well, just that it's not about steps for me or
exercise as much as nature. I want to s see
all the animals doing all the things.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Well, here's what Peggy says during COVID. When I thought
we'd be stuck for quite a while, I bought a treadmill.
But then I decided to continue to walk outside because
my spirit, speaking of that, needs that. Yes, I need
the sounds. I need the real air, the rain, the snow,
the sun, whatever. I just need in all caps to
be outside.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, I feel that, Peggy. I feel that.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
As a girl who was sort of raised in the country,
running around barefooted, sitting on the back porch like it
was a thing. When it was raining, we would go
sit on the back porch because we had a little
porch that had a tin roof, like, and it just
sounded so cool, and you would literally just sit in
a rocking chair next to dad. And that's it.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You know, there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That's not on the patio now, Okay, when it starts raining,
it's just like it's comforting.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
If that's a part of you, of your childhood, if
you're introduced to it in childhood, you will seek it
out later in life, especially in this the way we
live now with all the devices and everything that's technical
calling your name. I feel like you need it more
than ever.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well, I find that at the end of the day
when I'm taking the dogs out, because Jody goes to
bed first and I'm taking the dogs up before bedtime,
there's just a moment after I get them settled and
I walk back out and you just breathe for segments
like ah, peace. It's weird, how just automatically kind of
rapture in a little bit of peace. Maybe it's because
it's the first quiet moment of the day. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
It can be like therapy. I mean, if you let it.
You have to know to seek that out, like nature
can be like therapy if you know how to let
it in. Yeah, so exciting here on a Monday.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Okay, thank you, Peggy, jump in anytime.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I know it's only been one day, but I got
an update on the super Valuable at least I hope
it's super valuable. Mark Hamil Luke Skywalker Star Wars trading cards.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Which is considered number one right in the series for tops.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Number one in the series. One of these sold recently
for six hundred eighty seven thousand dollars unreal primo mint
condition and I went up in the attic, pulled my
box down, and I got four of these because it.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Looked familiar to you, right, you knew you.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Had to wait a second. I know this guy, he's
Luke Skywalker. So I've got four of these. One of them,
my no, is not in great shape because the corners
are bent because I played with it as a kid.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
The other three, I want to know if they're worth
six hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars each.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Sure that's the case.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
We'll never see Sam.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Although you know it's a little concerning dumb question here.
Why would you keep something that valuable in the attic?
Because to me it wasn't valuable. Oh, up in the attic,
I got stuff from high school. I got those, I
got some Marty grod De balloon collections. I got all
kinds of stuff.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Other shout out for the box that he brought. He
brought the box here. And the box is not a
shoe box.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's a I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Plastic like seal. It close it with a clink.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, and it's small because I never collected baseball cards.
I wasn't into that, just a handful of these. So anyway,
I went onto the website that grades these things PSA.
I opened it the count free, and I decided, you
know what, I just need to bite the bullet s
send the three good ones. No, not just one. I'm
going to send the three good ones. They told me
(23:15):
it was ninety eight dollars to send all three for
the whole thing. Okay, if I and get it, I
get back my results in seventy five days. I don't
know why it takes so long. Well, I could look
at it and say, mmm.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Well you have any fingernails left by then, you know what,
I'll probably forget about it before that until I get
the email back. Well, you know, when you were talking
about it yesterday, I started just jumping on because I
am not an expert at all in that field. But
you know, even if it's not, there are different classifications
that could be worth anywhere between nine hundred, you know,
in five thousand, which is not chump chick, you know
(23:49):
what I mean, And so it's worth the investment even
if they come back and go, oh sorry, yeah, but
you know, I had no idea. It's fascinating to me
that this is a thing.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, I have to. They even give you instructions on
how to ship these things. I got to put them
in special plastic containers, bubble wrap okay, and clean box,
send it off to them. Get this that the little
plastic cases that they put it in. Once they're done,
they'll put it in this thing with the rating on
and a grend sonically sealed in a tamper evident holder. Yeah,
tamper evident holder.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
That's worth doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, you know this is sonically sealed. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
So in the next week they're being shipped off and
we'll cross our fingers.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Yay. I kind of want to change the name from
date bark to peanut butter chocolate date bark. For this
recipe that we shared this week, our oldest daughter tailor
made for me for Mother's Day some you know bark. Yeah,
and it was made with dates as the sweetener because
(24:49):
she knows I try to watch what I eat and
she she loves dates, and she told us how to
make it. We put the recipe in the method at
Murphy Salmon Jody dot com, So go get it. You
can see a picture of the date bark.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Can you know I'm an idiot because I really I
had to ask what dates were. I thought dates were
some dried version of something else. But they're just dates.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Dates.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, and that doesn't register with me. I don't know
that I've ever seen them in the grocery store.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Oh yeah, they're there.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I guess I have to go to a grocery store day.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
But other than that, I haven't seen dates for years.
But that's a difference.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, that's truly right.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Date bark is a different problem for you, Sam.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Anyway, Yeah, how do you make a date bark?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
We have some.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Questions, Sam probably knows.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Continue no no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I want to get to your some of your questions.
That rolling we're rolling in.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
What is this about dates being used as a dessert?
I want in love the show Love you guys. That's
from Carle. So you know you think of bark, you
think of melted chocolate and peanuts and pretzels or anything
you want to do. You pour it down, you lay
it flat, and you let it set correct and then you.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Break it up, you know, set it down.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Refrigerator. Taylor knows I watch what I eat, so she
and she loves dates, and that's why She's like, this
is a natural sweetener. They're high in fiber, they're good
for you, and so she smashed it down on the
bottom of the dates. You have to take the pits
out to.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh dates have pits. Yeah, I really need to learn again.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I can tell you that.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
But anyway, you just have to pit them.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's easy and take them out anyway. That and that's
what you do. But I just wanted to answer your questions.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
We put the method of how to make this online
at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com. Three ingredients, very easy,
no wrong way to do it. Okay. Jonathan sent this
about the date bark your daughter made. Where can I
get the recipe? So that's where it is, and he says,
also love the Daily podcast. I'll listen to you guys
while putting dinner together at night.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh, thank you, we appreciate that. So they grow on trees. Apparently, Sam,
I didn't know that they're called a date tree? Is
a date palm? Actually, yes, you're.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Right, Sam wants a date tree.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Okay, coming up next.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Sam wants a date Actually he does. Actually it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Morning pick me up time.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
So if you are in a relationship, whether it's a
marriage or just a serious relationship, and you just want
to make it better, you know, the most simple thing
to do, and it is a secret. It is a
secret of long lasting and happier marriages. It is just
to be kind, even when you don't feel like it.
It's not the big gestures that make a big deal.
(27:27):
It's the little, little everyday things.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Daily it is because the problem is when you the
more comfortable you get with people, the more unfiltered you're
going to be, and that there's a chance grumpiness is
going to come across or anything like that, Right, And
that's the thing that you really need to catch hear
yourself before you say it.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah, and impatience, look, I mean it does, it happens.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, I don't know why you're making face the same.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I'm the king of impatience.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
We've never been in a marriage with you, in a
relationship with you like that. We're in a friendship relationship
with you. But Murphy and I are married, and I
can tell you for sure there have been times. I
remember one instance in particular, we were having a very
bad period day. You know, it was not there was
some stuff and there was an ice storm and it
(28:15):
was icy, really icy, and he made sure I got in.
He came over anyway and helped me get into the
car so that I wouldn't slip. And I remember that
making me almost cry, going like here we are fighting
in a rift and you were so so kind.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You know, I mean, just because we're arguing doesn't mean
I don't love you.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Know. It's that meme. Have you ever seen that old
meme of the man he's mad, but he's holding an
umbrella over the lady.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Even though I'm mad, I still love you.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, And so just the small gestures making bringing a
couple of coffees, you know, how are you today? How
was your day?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Like?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
And avoid keeping score? Don't keep scoring.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yeah. I think that our lives got better when we
both remembered that despite when things are getting rough or not,
that we're still on the same team. As long as
you understand you're on the same team. When you're having
the argument, you're probably gonna treat the other person, you know, differently,
because you need. We certainly have had our huge headline
over the years.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Be an alliance with each other.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
That was you being kind to Jody. That wasn't you like,
get in the car, and get out of my face.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
He would never say that to me and I would
never respond to that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Okay, but maybe that's what's happened in your marriage.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Social media connect messages rolling in from Instagram and Facebook.
So let's get to some Britney who reached out to
us earlier this week about.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Doing a digital detox.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Remember she said she was the one that said that
she stopped doom scrolling and all that for six weeks.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I guess, right, right, which that's impressive. Meaning a digital
detox is you still use your device to call and
text people, and you know your boss needs you.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
For what it was made for, but you'd write, but.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
You don't go online and shop or doom scroll or
just look at cats Ai cats.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Well, and it's sort of like without purpose. That's really
what that scrolling is. If you're going to shop and
need to shop, then you shop. But if you're gonna
get lost and just scrolling and looking and you're doing
it at a boredom, I think that's really what she's
talking about.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
And that's what happens.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
She stopped doing it for a long time and she
shared that with us, and we we were really wowed
because the digital detoks we had shared in the morning,
picked me up was to do it for two weeks
and see how your focus changed and how your mental
health changed. And she did it for longer and we
were like amazed at that. She said, here she is again.
(30:39):
Oh she's respond I heard you guys talking about my
digital detoks and reading my comment.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I did go back, meaning after the you know, last week.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, I was wondering if she had stopped that altogether.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
She said that I did go back, but not nearly
as much. The scrolling is definitely down to just a
few minutes a day, but stress is still down and
everything is still down.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Say that's beautiful that, but she's made a fundamental change there,
which is different. It's I think it's more about the awareness.
If you're going to do it and you want to,
there's nothing wrong with that. But if you're prone to
getting sucked into the things like say, oh my god,
it's nine thirty, what happened?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
You know, and then you don't really know except that
AI cats or something like that. And I say that
because I've seen that lately. I'm like looking at them, going,
I know they're not real, but man, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
You mean the cats that wake the people up by
playing drums and guitar.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
No, I've not seen them. No, it's the word is
Brittany Again, thank you for this. If you really do
want to change this, expect it to be hard at first,
because it's the world we live in with that little
device calling your name all the time. So when it's
when you go to pick it up, you have to
stop yourself and put something else in its place.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Well, you have to catch that even in the first place.
You have to do that whole Wait a second, I'm
about to look and scroll. Sometimes you bypass that all
together and you're just doing it, doing it. Yeah,
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choty Weekend Show podcast, highlighting
some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I don't know if you've ever had one of those
finding a van go at a garage sale moment?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Man, I want to, but man, I want to.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yesterday A Declaration of Independence full of the original by
John Hancock.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Now I don't want to document. I want something beautiful.
I want art.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well, you told us earlier this week about the Boba
Fette that they had the family found in the attic
when mom passed away, still in the package on Star Wars.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, also this in the past week. Uh, this Luke
Skywalker card original Luke Skywalker card sold for almost seven
hundred thousand dollars. It shattered a record.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Wow, so no way.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I looked at this card and I thought, man, this
sure looks familiar, and I sure did collect I got
four of them.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh my god, Oh wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
It's like a full house. Yeah Skywalker.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Now, the thing is this was a this card that
sold for six hundred and eighty seven thousand was It's
called PSA Gem Mint Condition ten. It's like the highest quality.
Nothing is wrong with it. Mine I can see one
of them the corners is all dinged up because I
was probably using it as a child. The other three
looked pretty good, great, but they also one of the
(01:21):
things that great on is centering, and I can see
the three of these look like they might be a
little off center.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
That's the printer's problem, not yours.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's my problem if I want to get six hundred
and eighty seven thousand dollars, because it wouldn't be grade
at a ten. It would be downgraded to like a
four or something.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
What's freaking me out is that, isn't it true that
the card that got all the money was probably it's
in a protective case.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oh yeah, it's in one of those protective plastic cases,
hard cases. And I think they're murphy. I think they're
even like sealed so like no air can get in.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Oh okay, and so would that be like in its
original packaging? Is that part of it all?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
This isn't the original packaging. This is somebody collector that
put it in one of those Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Wow, Okay, you can.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
See up top, it's all the grating is up top,
like this is a condition you.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Imagine I think something like that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
How do you. Yeah, how do you get that appraise?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You have to send this off to the company and
it's like thirty five forty bucks a card to have
it graded.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh yeah, you don't want to do well.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I mean if it comes back and they say, yeah,
that card's worth twenty bucks, it's you know.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Send off one of them, the best one and stop
handling them like that.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Okay, make it me nervous.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
And the Luke Skywalker sticker sold for fifty seven hundred
dollars and you have that that one too. That's pretty
one of these though.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
That looks it's in really good condition. I think let
it pay for vacation.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Vacation well, I mean these three this is retirement right here.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
If you want to see what Sam's talking about, maybe
you've got one just like it. You can check it
out on our socials or at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
This is an email that could make your life better,
certainly could make your day better, and I want to
share it. It came into Murphy Samonjody dot com from
so we've heard from so before. Hey, y'all wanted to
chime in about journaling.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Okay, I say, Sham got his mom a journal for
a mother's.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Day in hopes that she will tell some stories of
her life down some history. I started journaling. This is
from so when I was seventeen. I'm now thirty three.
It was a hard habit to begin, but now I
actually reached for my journal over my phone sometimes.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh wow, Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Something that helped me was setting a ten to twenty
minute timer at night and just brain dump. I jot
down the highlights of my day what bothered me? A
quote someone said that I wanted to remember whatever I write,
just anything. With fifteen years of journaling, I can see
how far I've come over the years. Yes, it is
(03:49):
cringey to see what I wrote at seventeen, at twenty one,
at twenty five, or even what I wrote last week.
It's still a reminder of what of all I've accomplished
and overcome. Journaling is a hard task to begin. But
something I tell my clients is to task parrot. I
believe so is a counselor okay, task parrot. Find a
(04:10):
time of day when when you consistently do something like
a coffee break or your nighttime routine. Pair it with that,
jot down a few lines, and most of all, don't
overthink it.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I've heard that so many times that you know, because
I'm guilty of that. In a journal, I want to
write full sentences and they want to have it fluid
and make sense, and they say that really, just jotting
the randomness, the brain dump that So's talking about is
the easiest way to cause you get discouraged and frustrated
if it feels like it's taking you forever. At least
it was.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
You're that advice, and I'm sorry that I don't have
to have it to go back and look at and say,
what was I thinking at twenty? What was I thinking
when I met you? Guys?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I would love to know what were you thinking when
you married me?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I remember, But it's a beautiful reminder. But it's all
so a reminder that it's never too late to start.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
There are variations on that. They do say it's therapeutic
to actually do the pen to paper, pin to pad
if you do iPad things. But if you really wanted
to keep records, I mean you can dictate it into
your phone. You can. There are a lot of different
ways to do it. I don't know therapeutically, if it's
the same thing of like just that physical touch to
the paper, getting it out of your system. I don't
(05:24):
know why that works, but it works well.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
They talking to a friend sometimes. Yeah, maybe if you
dictated it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And that's a great point. True.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
All right, thank you for sending this email. Join us anytime,
be honest. Do you ever respond to text messages with
just one word?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Sam does for sure.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, I do it with one letter. Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It drives me nuts when you send K.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Thanks for letting me know.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
But I know you, but I know.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That I understand and accept that one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'm also not doing it to drive people nuts. Just
like when I then the thumbs up, it's just to me, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like, well, I think the emoji. To me it makes
it a little more connected than yes, because depending on
who it is, they may think kay, I know that.
That's the whole the whole thing about like periods and
all the other things. You never know how somebody is
going to interpret something. At least emojis can soften that
to me a thumbs up. If you say kay, and
you don't know the person that well or they don't
(06:24):
know you that well, they may see that as flippant
or just like exactly or disinterested.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
You know exactly why I bring this up. They're saying
that in our world of quick messaging, text messaging, or
whatever it is you're doing, when you're trying to respond,
try to do more than one word, especially something like
sure if you're hey, are you still coming to the party?
Sure is not the best because sure, all right, I
guess if I have to be there is what it
(06:50):
kind of sounds like, instead of yes, I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So what about when I respond to you? Instead of
saying yes, I just say toats like short for totally.
Are you okay with that?
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Because I know you're trying to be all how about.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
When I send you the emoji with the kiss?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I like it?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Okay, that's the one thing that's okay.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Also, the funny thing is about the k is. And
I don't know if your kids do this too, But
when I do that to my kids and it's like
something I said about K capitalized K, it's like, what's wrong?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
They think I'm angry because it's a capital K only
and to them that's anger.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Right, Yeah, I don't right, you're asking me that I
don't respond to my kids that way. I usually respond
in complete sentences. I do over communicate actually with punctuation
even so extra.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
All that, and there's a whole lot of I loved you,
I love yous every time in mind.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, it just sounds like they say, it needs to
sound more positive. So you know, instead of K, how
about okay okay and a smiley face. That would change
the feeling of that text for that recipient.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And I think that. You know, even in the work environment,
an email totally different deal where it's naturally more long form.
You know, there's always a everybody wants to move faster
and be efficient, and you don't have to be overly wordy,
but if you have enough to at least be nice.
It's not being taken as a command or something.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Right, So the fewer words it can be misinterpreted as passive,
aggressive or just aggressive. Yeah, give a couple more and
work on your emoji. Sam, Sure, no.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I thought you were gonna say kay.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
There's so much stuff everywhere March if you will, that
is sold to us as collectible, right, collector's item. At
the movies, you see it, the Mandalorian and Grogu movie
next week. There are like three popcorn buckets at least,
and they're all beautiful and exciting and expensive, but plastic
to me.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I even touch that little helmet the other day in line.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I was like, it's just so plastic y and I
understand this to eat popcorn.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Out of Yeah, well, I mean you don't one of
five pound metal helmet to eat popcorn out if I
get that, actually, if you drop it in theater.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
How do you know if it's actually worth collecting.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
That's a really good question. Well you know when you
said that just now too though it makes me think
about like when beanie babies were the thing, or stuffed animals.
I mean, you could technically say the same thing that
it's just a bunch of stuffing and fabric, but it's
it's a collectible for some reason.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Collectibles, and at some point collectibles are valuable or have value,
right the popcorn buckets.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But they might somebody might be fifty years there may
be one person left with a Grogo bucket and you
know what, they've just hit the jack.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I doubt that because there's so mass produced and they're
going to be held onto by Star Wars fanatics on
shelves forever. Anyway, So the questions to ask yourself, They say,
is it rare? Gro Goo buckets probably aren't rare. Is
it authentic? You're probably buying the real one.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, the real grogu bucket is one Grogo. But yes,
is it.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
In demand or will it be in demand one day?
You're right, You got to play the long game, Murphy.
You gotta wait, just like all those people with the
Star Wars original toys.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, if you want to take a chance, then you
really need to buy two. That way, one stay's package
and the other is one you use.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh now you're talking.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Huh, Yeah, you just got to one hundred bucks. That's
from my new book called How to Be a Hoarder.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yeah, that's not a new book. You guys want to
hear about the first thing I ever heard of or
saw that was supposedly collectible. My mama, Felma. I loved
her so much, and when we were little kids, we
would go spend spend time with her, and she loved
to drink beer. And I remember sitting on the front
porch with her one day and she was smoking a
cigarette and drinking a beer, which is what we did
(10:47):
on the front porch.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
She did, she didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
She had a beer can that was very artistic and
there was so much on it and I was like,
what is this and she goes, this is a collectible
bi centennial Frcan and I was like what and it
was it was.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
She didn't open it up.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
She was drinking out of it, but she kept that
thing around in her kitchen forever. I remember seeing it
for years later.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Really, yeah, you thought it was the same one.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Sam's always up on the New Eats. He's the food dude, and.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Every day starts with a nutritious breakfast. So that's where
we're going to start today on TV.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah. Part of this balanced breakfast, we have a new
Bisquick mix that is coming, cinnamon toast crunch Bisquick.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Oh stop it wait, so you make pancakes with it,
or biscuits or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You can make pancake mix, waffles, whatever you want, and
I'll tell you what. You get a hold of that
fruity pebble syrup along with the cinnamon toast crunch back pancakes.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh something Elf would eat.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
By the way, this isn't a limited time this is permanent.
So you're gonna have a choice of bis Quick or
cinnamon toast crunch biscus.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Man you can do. You can probably do some kind
of cinnamon roll with that.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
You can do copcakes, cinnamon rolls, cookies, chicken and dumplings. Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Also, Ago has a couple of new flavors for us,
Cookies and cream. Man, it's not even waffles anymore. It's dessert.
These are chocolate with little white white cream chips in them.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And they also have a cinnamon roll, which is I
got creamy icing chips in it.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Breakfast is getting in the stores more and more dessert like,
and that's not the way to start your day started
with the cereals.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I mean to think about it as a kid. You know.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
That's my mom wouldn't buy cooking sugar. Yeah, cook I
would so quickly.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You're not gonna. I'm not buying cookie crisp for you.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
They wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't want corn flakes. I want frosted flakes, right, I.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Want more sugar. Jimmy Dean has a new bacon coming
our way. It's hot bacon. If you've ever tried to
Jimmy Dean hot sausage, little but it's gonna be the
same heat as that. And I can handle this. I've
tried the hot sock we can. Okay, that's not bad.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
All the tender babies, you guys. Hot bacon sounds good.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's yeah, any kind of bacon sounds good. I got
a new tater tot shape from the folks that or right.
If you remember last week I told you they came
out with star tater tots. Well now we have Dino
tots tots. So you team this up with nuggets. Yeah,
talk about a birthday party fun.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, you can't tell a difference between a tot and
a piece of chicken.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
You probably can't terodactyl.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
And this one's a truck serra tops.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Cute stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
The folks that Slice have a new uh can drink
coming our way, Dirty slice, Yeah, okay, dirty soda, you know.
And it's not gonna have dairy in and it's got
this coconut derived oil that'll give it the creamy flavor.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
So dirty oil.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
But get this, it's gonna have all the biotics pre
post and.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Prow that should distract you from the oil.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Special guest right now, Hey Tay, Hey love having my
baby girl along. So our oldest daughter Taylor joining us
because I shared with everybody what you made for me
for Mother's Day.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You want to explain it to the guys like they're
five years old.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Yeah, sure, sure, Yeah. I made date Bark has dates,
peanut butter, dark chocolate. Some people like to add peanuts
too and call it kind of like a nature snicker
barn peanuts.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
It was pretty easy to do. Basically, just swished a
bunch of dates onto some parchment paper, drizzled some peanut
butter on top, and then melted some dark chocolate and
poured that on top, and then set it in the
fridge and cut it up. And it was super easy
and it's really good.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
A couple of things why.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
For one, I recently started eating dates more often, and
I really really loved them. You know, they taste a
lot like brown sugar. And the other reason is because
it's a healthier option, and I know that Mom has
been trying to watch it a little bit. So I
thought that, you know, instead of making like banana bread
or any other dessert that I've made in the past,
(15:11):
then this would be a good idea. And it worked out.
It was really easy and very good.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It is really delicious.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And you used organic peanut butter, Yeah, brand.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Did you use? Because this stuff is delicious.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I bought it from.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
All these Okay, so you know the one thing I
should say though, because if you're not used to eating dates,
it's very high end fiber just fy. Oh, it is
considered a natural laxative. So you don't want to eat
like four or five of these things at one time necessarily,
you know, if you're not used, if your digestive systems
(15:44):
not used to it. Not that I'm speaking from experience,
although I am.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
I was about to say, Dad, did you have some problems?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Yeah, this was a very sweet Mother's Day gift. I
love that you like you know, I am very careful
about what I eat. But it's just it looks beautiful.
It looks like a regular bark. It's very decadent.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It's just a warning that you don't want to eat
ten pieces of it without understanding.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Maybe you don't want to eat pieces, right, Okay, So
do the amounts matter? If we're gonna post the recipe tailor?
Is it like how much peanut butter? It's just how
much you want.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
I honestly didn't measure it out. What I can say
is that I did take as many dates as would
that would fill up the little tray. That I used,
we push them down. I didn't count those out and
then I honestly just eyeballed it. So just enough peanut
butter to cover like a small layer of it, and
then same thing with the dark chocolate. So I'm sor
(16:39):
I don't have measurements.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It was from the b I love it from the heart.
Taylor's date Bark, also known as Murphy's natural laxis. We
have a message from Instagram from Kirsten that I have
to share with you guys because Hi, Murphy Salmon. Joe
was listening to the podcast, heard you talking about short texts,
(17:04):
like how you know sending just K is not great.
So I'm a millennial and we are probably the first
generation to be all about texting, And here to let
you know texting K is rude to most of my
generation and gen Z. It's not just because it's capitalized.
It's the shortness of it, and in conversation even saying
(17:24):
K seems short and comes off in text as annoyed
or even mad. Just thought i'd let you know, also, kay,
instead of just the letter K is better And I
have no idea why lol.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Probably because it doesn't feel as abrupt. It's so funny
because text just doesn't have emotional context no without an emoji.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Anyway, this goes on to read.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I think my generation has put a lot of tone
behind certain texting phrases, which is also why my generation
particularly says lol a lot. It's not because something is
so funny. It's often just put too lightened the.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Tone of a text.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
And I do that a lot, Kirsten. But yeah, yeah,
because I remember, I remember when Sam went through his
CA phase, and remember the first couple of times I
got it's like, Okay, what is up? What's with the attitude,
you know, And so the.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
First time I got a k back from Sam, I'm like,
that's so Sam. He's also doing it to be Sam
and to go okay, you know, to be you, to
stand on that hill and die on that hill that
you're not going to over communicate. Yeah, Kirsten, thank you
for the lesson.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, that's awesome. And I guess Millennials were really the
first two because they were using the phones with the
keypad and the letters on the keypad to text. They
were really I say, the first anybody that had you know,
that kind of phone before smartphones, that's how you texted.
But they were super fast with it too.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
If you remember one of our producers, Bailey, he used
to talk occasionally in those things, because I remember him
every now and then, what do.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
You mean to go?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Huh Lol, it's so verbalize those things every night. Oh
we can talk.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Those now, right. It's good to talk about this because
we are all in different generations communicating, and I don't
ever want anything to be misunderstood. Kay, okay, the joke.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Love having you along. You can jump in a lot
of ways.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Murphy Samonjody dot com or I know I said my
name weird Murphy Samonjody dot com.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Sorry, Jurny Sam and Judy.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Jody dot com or on social media.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
So Peggy sends this email Jody, she's really your spirit animal.
I think this is the right term for this, the
way this reads. She said, I heard Jody talking about
her walks, and I had to add my thought. When
you were talking, yeah, when you were talking about your watch,
you were talking about how you like to get outside,
that you can do a treadmill, but you would rather
be out of nature. That's where she's going with this.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Well, just that it's not about steps for me or
exercise as much as nature. I want to s see
all the animals doing all the things.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Well, here's what Peggy says during COVID. When I thought
we'd be stuck for quite a while, I bought a treadmill.
But then I decided to continue to walk outside because
my spirit, speaking of that, needs that. Yes, I need
the sounds. I need the real air, the rain, the snow,
the sun, whatever. I just need in all caps to
be outside.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, I feel that, Peggy. I feel that.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
As a girl who was sort of raised in the country,
running around barefooted, sitting on the back porch like it
was a thing. When it was raining, we would go
sit on the back porch because we had a little
porch that had a tin roof, like, and it just
sounded so cool, and you would literally just sit in
a rocking chair next to dad. And that's it.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You know, there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That's not on the patio now, Okay, when it starts raining,
it's just like it's comforting.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
If that's a part of you, of your childhood, if
you're introduced to it in childhood, you will seek it
out later in life, especially in this the way we
live now with all the devices and everything that's technical
calling your name. I feel like you need it more
than ever.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well, I find that at the end of the day
when I'm taking the dogs out, because Jody goes to
bed first and I'm taking the dogs up before bedtime,
there's just a moment after I get them settled and
I walk back out and you just breathe for segments
like ah, peace. It's weird, how just automatically kind of
rapture in a little bit of peace. Maybe it's because
it's the first quiet moment of the day. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
It can be like therapy. I mean, if you let it.
You have to know to seek that out, like nature
can be like therapy if you know how to let
it in. Yeah, so exciting here on a Monday.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Okay, thank you, Peggy, jump in anytime.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I know it's only been one day, but I got
an update on the super Valuable at least I hope
it's super valuable. Mark Hamil Luke Skywalker Star Wars trading cards.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Which is considered number one right in the series for tops.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Number one in the series. One of these sold recently
for six hundred eighty seven thousand dollars unreal primo mint
condition and I went up in the attic, pulled my
box down, and I got four of these because it.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Looked familiar to you, right, you knew you.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Had to wait a second. I know this guy, he's
Luke Skywalker. So I've got four of these. One of them,
my no, is not in great shape because the corners
are bent because I played with it as a kid.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
The other three, I want to know if they're worth
six hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars each.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Sure that's the case.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
We'll never see Sam.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Although you know it's a little concerning dumb question here.
Why would you keep something that valuable in the attic?
Because to me it wasn't valuable. Oh, up in the attic,
I got stuff from high school. I got those, I
got some Marty grod De balloon collections. I got all
kinds of stuff.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Other shout out for the box that he brought. He
brought the box here. And the box is not a
shoe box.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's a I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Plastic like seal. It close it with a clink.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, and it's small because I never collected baseball cards.
I wasn't into that, just a handful of these. So anyway,
I went onto the website that grades these things PSA.
I opened it the count free, and I decided, you
know what, I just need to bite the bullet s
send the three good ones. No, not just one. I'm
going to send the three good ones. They told me
(23:15):
it was ninety eight dollars to send all three for
the whole thing. Okay, if I and get it, I
get back my results in seventy five days. I don't
know why it takes so long. Well, I could look
at it and say, mmm.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Well you have any fingernails left by then, you know what,
I'll probably forget about it before that until I get
the email back. Well, you know, when you were talking
about it yesterday, I started just jumping on because I
am not an expert at all in that field. But
you know, even if it's not, there are different classifications
that could be worth anywhere between nine hundred, you know,
in five thousand, which is not chump chick, you know
(23:49):
what I mean, And so it's worth the investment even
if they come back and go, oh sorry, yeah, but
you know, I had no idea. It's fascinating to me
that this is a thing.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, I have to. They even give you instructions on
how to ship these things. I got to put them
in special plastic containers, bubble wrap okay, and clean box,
send it off to them. Get this that the little
plastic cases that they put it in. Once they're done,
they'll put it in this thing with the rating on
and a grend sonically sealed in a tamper evident holder. Yeah,
tamper evident holder.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
That's worth doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, you know this is sonically sealed. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
So in the next week they're being shipped off and
we'll cross our fingers.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Yay. I kind of want to change the name from
date bark to peanut butter chocolate date bark. For this
recipe that we shared this week, our oldest daughter tailor
made for me for Mother's Day some you know bark. Yeah,
and it was made with dates as the sweetener because
(24:49):
she knows I try to watch what I eat and
she she loves dates, and she told us how to
make it. We put the recipe in the method at
Murphy Salmon Jody dot com, So go get it. You
can see a picture of the date bark.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Can you know I'm an idiot because I really I
had to ask what dates were. I thought dates were
some dried version of something else. But they're just dates.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Dates.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, and that doesn't register with me. I don't know
that I've ever seen them in the grocery store.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Oh yeah, they're there.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I guess I have to go to a grocery store day.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
But other than that, I haven't seen dates for years.
But that's a difference.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, that's truly right.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Date bark is a different problem for you, Sam.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Anyway, Yeah, how do you make a date bark?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
We have some.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Questions, Sam probably knows.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Continue no no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I want to get to your some of your questions.
That rolling we're rolling in.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
What is this about dates being used as a dessert?
I want in love the show Love you guys. That's
from Carle. So you know you think of bark, you
think of melted chocolate and peanuts and pretzels or anything
you want to do. You pour it down, you lay
it flat, and you let it set correct and then you.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Break it up, you know, set it down.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Refrigerator. Taylor knows I watch what I eat, so she
and she loves dates, and that's why She's like, this
is a natural sweetener. They're high in fiber, they're good
for you, and so she smashed it down on the
bottom of the dates. You have to take the pits
out to.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh dates have pits. Yeah, I really need to learn again.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I can tell you that.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
But anyway, you just have to pit them.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's easy and take them out anyway. That and that's
what you do. But I just wanted to answer your questions.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
We put the method of how to make this online
at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com. Three ingredients, very easy,
no wrong way to do it. Okay. Jonathan sent this
about the date bark your daughter made. Where can I
get the recipe? So that's where it is, and he says,
also love the Daily podcast. I'll listen to you guys
while putting dinner together at night.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh, thank you, we appreciate that. So they grow on trees. Apparently, Sam,
I didn't know that they're called a date tree? Is
a date palm? Actually, yes, you're.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Right, Sam wants a date tree.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Okay, coming up next.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Sam wants a date Actually he does. Actually it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Morning pick me up time.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
So if you are in a relationship, whether it's a
marriage or just a serious relationship, and you just want
to make it better, you know, the most simple thing
to do, and it is a secret. It is a
secret of long lasting and happier marriages. It is just
to be kind, even when you don't feel like it.
It's not the big gestures that make a big deal.
(27:27):
It's the little, little everyday things.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Daily it is because the problem is when you the
more comfortable you get with people, the more unfiltered you're
going to be, and that there's a chance grumpiness is
going to come across or anything like that, Right, And
that's the thing that you really need to catch hear
yourself before you say it.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah, and impatience, look, I mean it does, it happens.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, I don't know why you're making face the same.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I'm the king of impatience.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
We've never been in a marriage with you, in a
relationship with you like that. We're in a friendship relationship
with you. But Murphy and I are married, and I
can tell you for sure there have been times. I
remember one instance in particular, we were having a very
bad period day. You know, it was not there was
some stuff and there was an ice storm and it
(28:15):
was icy, really icy, and he made sure I got in.
He came over anyway and helped me get into the
car so that I wouldn't slip. And I remember that
making me almost cry, going like here we are fighting
in a rift and you were so so kind.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You know, I mean, just because we're arguing doesn't mean
I don't love you.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Know. It's that meme. Have you ever seen that old
meme of the man he's mad, but he's holding an
umbrella over the lady.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Even though I'm mad, I still love you.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, And so just the small gestures making bringing a
couple of coffees, you know, how are you today? How
was your day?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Like?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
And avoid keeping score? Don't keep scoring.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yeah. I think that our lives got better when we
both remembered that despite when things are getting rough or not,
that we're still on the same team. As long as
you understand you're on the same team. When you're having
the argument, you're probably gonna treat the other person, you know, differently,
because you need. We certainly have had our huge headline
over the years.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Be an alliance with each other.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
That was you being kind to Jody. That wasn't you like,
get in the car, and get out of my face.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
He would never say that to me and I would
never respond to that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Okay, but maybe that's what's happened in your marriage.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Social media connect messages rolling in from Instagram and Facebook.
So let's get to some Britney who reached out to
us earlier this week about.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Doing a digital detox.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Remember she said she was the one that said that
she stopped doom scrolling and all that for six weeks.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I guess, right, right, which that's impressive. Meaning a digital
detox is you still use your device to call and
text people, and you know your boss needs you.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
For what it was made for, but you'd write, but.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
You don't go online and shop or doom scroll or
just look at cats Ai cats.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Well, and it's sort of like without purpose. That's really
what that scrolling is. If you're going to shop and
need to shop, then you shop. But if you're gonna
get lost and just scrolling and looking and you're doing
it at a boredom, I think that's really what she's
talking about.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
And that's what happens.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
She stopped doing it for a long time and she
shared that with us, and we we were really wowed
because the digital detoks we had shared in the morning,
picked me up was to do it for two weeks
and see how your focus changed and how your mental
health changed. And she did it for longer and we
were like amazed at that. She said, here she is again.
