Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Murphy Salmon Jody and while we were out
here is a flashback podcast for you to enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Back from a little Christmas in New Year's vacation.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Happy New Year.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Murphy and I stayed home a lot. I hope we're
not sick of each other because here we are at work. Yeah,
and Sam, you did some solo travel again.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:20):
I went out to Cali, California to visit my son Jackson,
who's living out there, and it was a fun trip.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I wish I had another three or four days. Oh yeah,
because it was just too quick.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
You can't see everything.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
No, well, it's it's there are things I wanted to see,
But I put that to the side, of course, because
it's like, whatever Jack wants to do, let's go do something,
because I know he's got stuff he wants to show me.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
The only thing I got my way on was eating
at a pizza place that I wanted to eat at.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
That was but okay, they.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Have a pizza called one hundred and twenty Pepperoni.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh whoa he did you count them?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Jackson started, He's counting the slice, he's counting the pepa
They're all different sizes. Quit But Christmas Day was great.
We all fixed breakfast for the house. He's got a
bunch of roommates. He lives in the sober house. We
did uh. I did French toast for everybody, and we
had all kinds, all kinds of eggs and bacon and gravy,
and you know, you.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Do most of the cooking for everyone and wow them,
or I just did the French toast part.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Somebody else was doing all that. After that, we went
and visited some of his friends, and we also had
time to kill in the afternoon, so we drove down
the Long Beach to see the Queen Mary. Yeah, the
big boat.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
We were going to take the tour, but it was
like fifty bucks a person. It's like, yeah, And we
didn't have time really because we had to get back.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
The Queen Mary was Elizabeth's bote, the Marquis.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
But you're looking at me with the question. I want
to say, yes, but please don't hold night.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Since I didn't pay the fifty bucks, I can't answer.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
There were people.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Checking in because it's usual it's a hotel now, and
you know, and and there were nighttime tours are only
fifteen bucks. I mean, I didn't have a day to
do this, but I told Jack, I said, this is
the tour to take. Come out here at night and
go back because it's haunted supposedly.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Do you feel better about him now that you've seen
I know he moved out there and you had not
seen him, but he knew he was in.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
This house October year ago. Yeah, this was my first
time seeing him and it was It was great and
it was real hard to leave. He's doing so much
better than he has in the past. He's got he
seems to have everything together. He's heavily involved in church
and running sound at his church. Yeah, so it was
a great trip, fantastic.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I can't wait to go back.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What does it mean.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
If your older dog sleeps all day or just sleeps
a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
This is a question that I've been asking myself a
lot lately, Murphy. You know, because our champ, my favorite
animal on the planet. He's a person, he's not even
a dog.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Is sleeping snoring makes him sound like a person.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
He does. He sounds like an old man sleeping.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And he sleeps a lot now, and he sleeps deeply
like nothing wakes him.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
My dog Gus, he's eleven or twelve. I don't know
what he is, but he started doing that. It's been
over the last year, correct, whatever's gone on. He flops
and in the snoring starts.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Just he'll get up from there and move over to
here and flop and starts. It's just constant sleeping.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Here's what I've learned an older dog. It is normal
for them to sleep sixteen to twenty hours a day.
It is a normal part of the aging process as
they get really old. And I did the math. Champ
is about twelve, possibly thirteen years old. Yeah, okay, so
we're talking, you know, older.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
So what can you do?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Number one, let him sleep, malone, leave them alone, let
them sleep.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Also, provide plenty of comfortable places for them to snooze
in the house and then on all of he's be
in that one place. You know, maybe they want to
be with you sometimes. Make sure they have a comfortable
place to sleep and snooze and know that it's normal.
Now changes in appetite and changes in you know, if
they seem like they're having pain getting up and down,
then you might want to think, Okay, is there something
(04:10):
else here we need to investigate and you need to go.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
To the vet.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
But it sounds to me the way you're describing this,
we should always treat them like a grandparent at that time,
the same way you would treat a grandparent as the
way you want to treat an older la.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Of course, the more understanding and love and attention.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
The cliche lipping.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Dogs lie another couple of things. Yes, they could still
use some gentle exercise, little short walks, and chances are
they still want it. You know, Champ definitely does. We
go every time I put tennis shoes on. He knows
he's up and he's ready to go. He can't go
as far anymore, but he still loves to do it.
The other thing that's sad to me is another reason
(04:48):
that an older dog is sleeping sixteen hours a day
or more is because, for whatever reason, the overnight sleep
is more disrupted. That's why he wakes up, shit in
his ears or whatever in the middle of the night
several times.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I know, Murphy, you'd complain about him waking you up.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, that headshaking a little scary.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, So just know that it's normal, let them sleep,
give them your extra love and care right now, and
if you have other concerns beyond just the amount of sleep.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Then see the vet.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Now do they all show start to get hungry for
dinner like at four o'clock?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, trending. Now Jody's Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Outsider, brought to by Optima tax Relief.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Before January is over, We're going to have a pair
of documentaries about Sean Ditty Colmbs, No kidding, some dueling
documentaries really, but I mean, if you're interested and you
can't quite understand this story, this one is like true
crime meets celebrity. So it's going to These documentaries are
going to be big. The first one is called The
Making Up a Bad Boy, which debuts next week on Peacock, right,
(05:51):
and then we have one called The Fall of Ditty,
which will be streaming January twenty seventh on Max.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And so they put those together.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You know, you all so pay attention to who's bringing
you the documentary to decide.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Hmmm, how how quickly they slapped it together?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Well, now, how credible? So Max they don't slap things together.
I would say Peacock doesn't really either, So it's going
to be involved.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Well one Cox's the one too, where they talk to
former bodyguards.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And all kinds of people. People who've been at the parties.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
The one on Max will premiere on Max after it
premieres on Investigation Discovery, but that's not all. Later this year,
we think the Spring fifty cent is producing that documentary
and he's been doing He was doing that and working
on that before the world knew that.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
There was even a problem.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
It is and it's it's going to be on Netflix.
He's already signed that deal. So there's so much coming.
If you don't really know what's going on in that,
you know it's hard. It's a hard story to understand.
There's going to be a ton on it if you
can stand to watch it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ to join
the conversation anytime.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
How are you, Divina?
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I am doing great. But you were asked a question
about long living dogs. Yes, and I had a beautiful
tweeny Dotson. Her name was Cheyenne. She was a gift
from my husband for Valentine's Day and we had to
put her down the year of COVID. She was eighteen
(07:24):
and a half years old.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Wow wow, And she.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Was the sweetest dog in the world. This dog, what
she had as a puppy and her behavior, her attitude, everything.
It carried all the way through to her old age.
She was never snippy.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
She loved children. She was just the greatest dog in
the world.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, sounds like the perfect dog.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
It broke my heart to lose her, no kidding.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Eighteen years is a very long time for a pet
or a dog.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, and she was my baby. We called her Shy Shai.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, it's oh so sweet. I'm sorry you lost her,
but I'm so glad you had her. One of my
favorite things.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
One of the favorite things I've ever heard about dogs,
and it's true, is that we don't deserve dogs.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
No, thank you, Divina, We appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I love that you had a nickname for your dog, too,
Shy Shy, and we do that at our house. Yeah,
Champion cakes what I call him sometimes.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, Champ. He's got all sorts of little variations on
his name.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
You call your dog Gus what, uh, he's Gus, He's gustaferr,
He's he's Gus Gus.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
He's also goose.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And it makes you wonder if they really, if they
respond to all of them, do they really respond to anything?
They just pick why right now?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
No, they know I think they know they do.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
They're so smart they know when you're talking to them.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
But thank you for the call, Divina.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Based on that earlier, you know, conversation we were having,
it is completely normal for older dogs to sleep sixteen
twenty hours a day because they just require more sleep
as they get older.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, and our oldest dog, Champ, is you really think
he's twelve?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
He's twelve or thirteen.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
He's a large breed dog, and so that's that's pretty old.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He was four when we got him. I don't know
if I don't think I did the math wrong. Sot away,
keep it coming.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Join us anytime eight seven seven three one zero four msj.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Enjoy your mlkday while you're working or doing a day
of service, and we will be back with three things
to know today tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Moms, you'll appreciate this, Murphy.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You probably didn't even know about this happening on Christmas
Eve at our house when we you know, knew that
half the family was coming to us, which was fine.
I was ready. I had to go into an uber
host mode more so than normal.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
You know, working around a little sickness and making sure
that the healthy people stayed in the healthy spot.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I was making the Christmas tree cake dip. Murphy was
overseeing it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Oh that's right, the little DeBie Christmas cake dip.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Our oldest Taylor, who works at a catering facility and
you know handles, you know, bartending and prep and all
of that for weddings and big occasions. She has learned
how to make some really cool drinks and she makes
these pomegranate martini's, but she only knows how to make
them in bulk, like in massive amounts.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That sounds like an excuse. When I was drinking, I
would have used right, So I.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Can't let it go to way.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
So she said, Mom, can I make you know pomegranate
martin Christmas Eve? And my cousins were like, what, yes, so,
and I'm so glad that you were okay with that, Murphy,
since you don't drink and haven't had a drink in years.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
She made me a virgin version of it was good.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
What's up though, is that she said, Mom, I have
to go to work and get the big thing to
mix them in because you don't have anything big enough.
I'm like, okay, exactly, I thought I have a punch
bowl that she she only know how to make it
in big amounts, and it was actually good because we
drank most of it. The problem with my cousins and
our guests.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The container though, said tea.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, this is what's.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Fun really careful to make sure nobody understood this was alcohol.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
So this is why moms will appreciate this. You didn't
even know this when she went and picked that up
and brought it in. It's not attractive, you know, it's
it's one of those big aluminum things that says tea,
and it has the spout or whatever. And she knows me,
I'm hosting. I care about how everything looks. I have
beautiful dishes. I want beautiful pictures, you know, I want
(11:31):
things to look at her. It's Christmas Eve around there,
no anyway, she walked in before she was even two
steps in and I saw it. She said, Mom, I know,
I'm just gonna use this to mix it and we
can stick.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It in the laundry room. She knows me so well, undry.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It was so cute, and it's funny because cousin Phil
said the same thing.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Why don't we just wrap some tensil around this? We
did not there.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
We used my pretty pictures and it was really nice.
You notice that we use pretty pictures.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No, just I enjoyed my mocktail. I wasn't paying attention
to these anyway.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Thank you Taylor for doing that and for knowing your mother.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. We read and
see every single comment and question there. In fact, we
asked yesterday, what do you do in the month of
January to keep the January blaws away? Because January is
January scary? It can be, you know, it just there's
a certain feeling to it. You're letting go of the
(12:31):
you know, this big celebratory time and then here.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It is this month.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yeah, and last a year.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It feels like it does at the end of January,
it's like, man, that was a long year.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, So what do you do to keep it away?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Because we have to try, you have to try to
beat January, Courtney says, taking it one day at a time,
keeping myself busy being a wife and a mom.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It goes pretty fast for me. That's a good way.
Terry says, organizing kitchen cabinets.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Drawers, closets a yearly ritual, but one that is therapeutic,
and then donating much of it to Good.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Wie I think there are a lot of people that
do that. I think we mentioned that on our first
day back that you know, I was at Goodwill and
there were a ton of other people there that same day.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
The way where if you if you like to thrift,
yeah this is the month.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, well that's true.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
A lot there's a lot of stuff. Now, it may
it may take a while.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I don't know what the back of a thrift store
looks like, but to me, it's probably a mountain of
stuff that they have to go through and sort and
then place in the store. So to me, January February
March is a good time to thrift.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Peggy says, January is my favorite. A great this is
for you, Murphy, A great time to set goals for
the coming year. That's right, and focus on personal growth
and fewer distractions.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Ah, fantastic to me, it's a natural the first part
of the year. For one thing, if you use like
a planner, you've got the fresh book that you're working with.
All of that feels fresh and bring.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Us planner sam Wow, Sherry says, purging some junk out
of my house if I've not used it or not
worn it in the last year.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Why do I need it? And of course listening to
you guys.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Sweet, that is sweet.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Why is she purging us or listening?
Speaker 6 (14:14):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
No, no, no no, keeps the blaws away by listening and also
does purging. Another one another Terry says, keeping my Christmas
decorations up until February.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
That's how I keep the blaws away. Man, what an idea?
What's so funny about that?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
That's about Uh, that's personal though, because for me it
helps me to get them down.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I've already taken them down.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's different for different folks on that one.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Keep it coming.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
We love having you along. When you hear the words
phone anxiety, I mean to me, I guess I think
in our time and our culture, the first thing that
jumps to my mind would be, oh where I can't
live without it. I can't be without it, this device.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Oh yeah, right, exactly, your phone's at home, you're in
the car.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That's not phone anxiety, actually.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Opposite, right, I guess all the time.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It's a certain group of people, and it's young people
who are very anxious about making a phone calls.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Actually making a voice call, speaking.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
To someone on the phone. Now, what's so funny about that.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
For me, it was the greatest day in my life
when I was able to get a phone in my
room when I was a teenager and you know, talk
to my boyfriend all night or whatever I was, or
have private conversations instead of having them in the kitchen
with the long cord. My dad would walk in and
I would try to hide in the pantry, you know,
so he wouldn't hear what I was saying to my friends.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
And so back in the days of the home phone.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Right, so fast forward to today.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yes, there are plenty of younger people who have had
these devices in their hands their whole lives.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And it's which are called phones, but they.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Don't use them that way, and so they're not schooled
in the r of having a conversation or.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
It's just not a comfort zone thing. And if you're
used to texting.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Anytime I've told our girls that you call somebody, they're like, wait, would.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
That anxiety be the same for FaceTime? I guess it
would be when you're calling a stranger.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It is always when you're calling a stranger.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I mean, so like when I was a kid, I
can remember my phone anxiety was whenever it was a
girl I wanted to ask out for the first time.
I couldn't. I couldn't dial the phone.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah, those are a whole other issue involved with that,
but yes.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It was the phone.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
So I bring it up because there are some gen
zers who can now take a college course in this.
Nottingham College in England has added phone confidence to its curriculum.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That's cool. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Teachers run them through drills that mimic typical phone scenarios.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Let's say you need to call.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
When it rains, pick it up and say hello.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
This is a good life still, it's not funny, it's
a good life skill. But if you have to call
someone about something very important for your pharmacy or something.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh yes, absolutely, yeah. If you're intimidated, if it's something that, yeah,
you reach out to somebody that you perceive is bigger
than you are, more tentative.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
If you have children, it's something to be aware of
to work on with you.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Good point trending Now Jody's Hollywood Outsider, brought to you

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Back from a little Christmas in New Year's vacation.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Happy New Year.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Murphy and I stayed home a lot. I hope we're
not sick of each other because here we are at work. Yeah,
and Sam, you did some solo travel again.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:20):
I went out to Cali, California to visit my son Jackson,
who's living out there, and it was a fun trip.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I wish I had another three or four days. Oh yeah,
because it was just too quick.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
You can't see everything.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
No, well, it's it's there are things I wanted to see,
But I put that to the side, of course, because
it's like, whatever Jack wants to do, let's go do something,
because I know he's got stuff he wants to show me.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
The only thing I got my way on was eating
at a pizza place that I wanted to eat at.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
That was but okay, they.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Have a pizza called one hundred and twenty Pepperoni.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh whoa he did you count them?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Jackson started, He's counting the slice, he's counting the pepa
They're all different sizes. Quit But Christmas Day was great.
We all fixed breakfast for the house. He's got a
bunch of roommates. He lives in the sober house. We
did uh. I did French toast for everybody, and we
had all kinds, all kinds of eggs and bacon and gravy,
and you know, you.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Do most of the cooking for everyone and wow them,
or I just did the French toast part.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Somebody else was doing all that. After that, we went
and visited some of his friends, and we also had
time to kill in the afternoon, so we drove down
the Long Beach to see the Queen Mary. Yeah, the
big boat.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
We were going to take the tour, but it was
like fifty bucks a person. It's like, yeah, And we
didn't have time really because we had to get back.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
The Queen Mary was Elizabeth's bote, the Marquis.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
But you're looking at me with the question. I want
to say, yes, but please don't hold night.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Since I didn't pay the fifty bucks, I can't answer.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
There were people.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Checking in because it's usual it's a hotel now, and
you know, and and there were nighttime tours are only
fifteen bucks. I mean, I didn't have a day to
do this, but I told Jack, I said, this is
the tour to take. Come out here at night and
go back because it's haunted supposedly.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Do you feel better about him now that you've seen
I know he moved out there and you had not
seen him, but he knew he was in.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
This house October year ago. Yeah, this was my first
time seeing him and it was It was great and
it was real hard to leave. He's doing so much
better than he has in the past. He's got he
seems to have everything together. He's heavily involved in church
and running sound at his church. Yeah, so it was
a great trip, fantastic.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I can't wait to go back.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What does it mean.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
If your older dog sleeps all day or just sleeps
a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
This is a question that I've been asking myself a
lot lately, Murphy. You know, because our champ, my favorite
animal on the planet. He's a person, he's not even
a dog.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Is sleeping snoring makes him sound like a person.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
He does. He sounds like an old man sleeping.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And he sleeps a lot now, and he sleeps deeply
like nothing wakes him.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
My dog Gus, he's eleven or twelve. I don't know
what he is, but he started doing that. It's been
over the last year, correct, whatever's gone on. He flops
and in the snoring starts.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Just he'll get up from there and move over to
here and flop and starts. It's just constant sleeping.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Here's what I've learned an older dog. It is normal
for them to sleep sixteen to twenty hours a day.
It is a normal part of the aging process as
they get really old. And I did the math. Champ
is about twelve, possibly thirteen years old. Yeah, okay, so
we're talking, you know, older.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
So what can you do?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Number one, let him sleep, malone, leave them alone, let
them sleep.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Also, provide plenty of comfortable places for them to snooze
in the house and then on all of he's be
in that one place. You know, maybe they want to
be with you sometimes. Make sure they have a comfortable
place to sleep and snooze and know that it's normal.
Now changes in appetite and changes in you know, if
they seem like they're having pain getting up and down,
then you might want to think, Okay, is there something
(04:10):
else here we need to investigate and you need to go.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
To the vet.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
But it sounds to me the way you're describing this,
we should always treat them like a grandparent at that time,
the same way you would treat a grandparent as the
way you want to treat an older la.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Of course, the more understanding and love and attention.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
The cliche lipping.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Dogs lie another couple of things. Yes, they could still
use some gentle exercise, little short walks, and chances are
they still want it. You know, Champ definitely does. We
go every time I put tennis shoes on. He knows
he's up and he's ready to go. He can't go
as far anymore, but he still loves to do it.
The other thing that's sad to me is another reason
(04:48):
that an older dog is sleeping sixteen hours a day
or more is because, for whatever reason, the overnight sleep
is more disrupted. That's why he wakes up, shit in
his ears or whatever in the middle of the night
several times.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I know, Murphy, you'd complain about him waking you up.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, that headshaking a little scary.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, So just know that it's normal, let them sleep,
give them your extra love and care right now, and
if you have other concerns beyond just the amount of sleep.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Then see the vet.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Now do they all show start to get hungry for
dinner like at four o'clock?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, trending. Now Jody's Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Outsider, brought to by Optima tax Relief.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Before January is over, We're going to have a pair
of documentaries about Sean Ditty Colmbs, No kidding, some dueling
documentaries really, but I mean, if you're interested and you
can't quite understand this story, this one is like true
crime meets celebrity. So it's going to These documentaries are
going to be big. The first one is called The
Making Up a Bad Boy, which debuts next week on Peacock, right,
(05:51):
and then we have one called The Fall of Ditty,
which will be streaming January twenty seventh on Max.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And so they put those together.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You know, you all so pay attention to who's bringing
you the documentary to decide.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Hmmm, how how quickly they slapped it together?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Well, now, how credible? So Max they don't slap things together.
I would say Peacock doesn't really either, So it's going
to be involved.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Well one Cox's the one too, where they talk to
former bodyguards.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And all kinds of people. People who've been at the parties.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
The one on Max will premiere on Max after it
premieres on Investigation Discovery, but that's not all. Later this year,
we think the Spring fifty cent is producing that documentary
and he's been doing He was doing that and working
on that before the world knew that.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
There was even a problem.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
It is and it's it's going to be on Netflix.
He's already signed that deal. So there's so much coming.
If you don't really know what's going on in that,
you know it's hard. It's a hard story to understand.
There's going to be a ton on it if you
can stand to watch it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ to join
the conversation anytime.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
How are you, Divina?
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I am doing great. But you were asked a question
about long living dogs. Yes, and I had a beautiful
tweeny Dotson. Her name was Cheyenne. She was a gift
from my husband for Valentine's Day and we had to
put her down the year of COVID. She was eighteen
(07:24):
and a half years old.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Wow wow, And she.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Was the sweetest dog in the world. This dog, what
she had as a puppy and her behavior, her attitude, everything.
It carried all the way through to her old age.
She was never snippy.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
She loved children. She was just the greatest dog in
the world.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, sounds like the perfect dog.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
It broke my heart to lose her, no kidding.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Eighteen years is a very long time for a pet
or a dog.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, and she was my baby. We called her Shy Shai.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, it's oh so sweet. I'm sorry you lost her,
but I'm so glad you had her. One of my
favorite things.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
One of the favorite things I've ever heard about dogs,
and it's true, is that we don't deserve dogs.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
No, thank you, Divina, We appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I love that you had a nickname for your dog, too,
Shy Shy, and we do that at our house. Yeah,
Champion cakes what I call him sometimes.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, Champ. He's got all sorts of little variations on
his name.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
You call your dog Gus what, uh, he's Gus, He's gustaferr,
He's he's Gus Gus.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
He's also goose.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And it makes you wonder if they really, if they
respond to all of them, do they really respond to anything?
They just pick why right now?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
No, they know I think they know they do.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
They're so smart they know when you're talking to them.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
But thank you for the call, Divina.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Based on that earlier, you know, conversation we were having,
it is completely normal for older dogs to sleep sixteen
twenty hours a day because they just require more sleep
as they get older.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, and our oldest dog, Champ, is you really think
he's twelve?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
He's twelve or thirteen.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
He's a large breed dog, and so that's that's pretty old.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He was four when we got him. I don't know
if I don't think I did the math wrong. Sot away,
keep it coming.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Join us anytime eight seven seven three one zero four msj.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Enjoy your mlkday while you're working or doing a day
of service, and we will be back with three things
to know today tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Moms, you'll appreciate this, Murphy.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You probably didn't even know about this happening on Christmas
Eve at our house when we you know, knew that
half the family was coming to us, which was fine.
I was ready. I had to go into an uber
host mode more so than normal.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
You know, working around a little sickness and making sure
that the healthy people stayed in the healthy spot.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I was making the Christmas tree cake dip. Murphy was
overseeing it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Oh that's right, the little DeBie Christmas cake dip.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Our oldest Taylor, who works at a catering facility and
you know handles, you know, bartending and prep and all
of that for weddings and big occasions. She has learned
how to make some really cool drinks and she makes
these pomegranate martini's, but she only knows how to make
them in bulk, like in massive amounts.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That sounds like an excuse. When I was drinking, I
would have used right, So I.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Can't let it go to way.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
So she said, Mom, can I make you know pomegranate
martin Christmas Eve? And my cousins were like, what, yes, so,
and I'm so glad that you were okay with that, Murphy,
since you don't drink and haven't had a drink in years.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
She made me a virgin version of it was good.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
What's up though, is that she said, Mom, I have
to go to work and get the big thing to
mix them in because you don't have anything big enough.
I'm like, okay, exactly, I thought I have a punch
bowl that she she only know how to make it
in big amounts, and it was actually good because we
drank most of it. The problem with my cousins and
our guests.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The container though, said tea.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, this is what's.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Fun really careful to make sure nobody understood this was alcohol.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
So this is why moms will appreciate this. You didn't
even know this when she went and picked that up
and brought it in. It's not attractive, you know, it's
it's one of those big aluminum things that says tea,
and it has the spout or whatever. And she knows me,
I'm hosting. I care about how everything looks. I have
beautiful dishes. I want beautiful pictures, you know, I want
(11:31):
things to look at her. It's Christmas Eve around there,
no anyway, she walked in before she was even two
steps in and I saw it. She said, Mom, I know,
I'm just gonna use this to mix it and we
can stick.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It in the laundry room. She knows me so well, undry.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It was so cute, and it's funny because cousin Phil
said the same thing.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Why don't we just wrap some tensil around this? We
did not there.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
We used my pretty pictures and it was really nice.
You notice that we use pretty pictures.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No, just I enjoyed my mocktail. I wasn't paying attention
to these anyway.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Thank you Taylor for doing that and for knowing your mother.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. We read and
see every single comment and question there. In fact, we
asked yesterday, what do you do in the month of
January to keep the January blaws away? Because January is
January scary? It can be, you know, it just there's
a certain feeling to it. You're letting go of the
(12:31):
you know, this big celebratory time and then here.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It is this month.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yeah, and last a year.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It feels like it does at the end of January,
it's like, man, that was a long year.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, So what do you do to keep it away?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Because we have to try, you have to try to
beat January, Courtney says, taking it one day at a time,
keeping myself busy being a wife and a mom.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It goes pretty fast for me. That's a good way.
Terry says, organizing kitchen cabinets.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Drawers, closets a yearly ritual, but one that is therapeutic,
and then donating much of it to Good.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Wie I think there are a lot of people that
do that. I think we mentioned that on our first
day back that you know, I was at Goodwill and
there were a ton of other people there that same day.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
The way where if you if you like to thrift,
yeah this is the month.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, well that's true.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
A lot there's a lot of stuff. Now, it may
it may take a while.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I don't know what the back of a thrift store
looks like, but to me, it's probably a mountain of
stuff that they have to go through and sort and
then place in the store. So to me, January February
March is a good time to thrift.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Peggy says, January is my favorite. A great this is
for you, Murphy, A great time to set goals for
the coming year. That's right, and focus on personal growth
and fewer distractions.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Ah, fantastic to me, it's a natural the first part
of the year. For one thing, if you use like
a planner, you've got the fresh book that you're working with.
All of that feels fresh and bring.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Us planner sam Wow, Sherry says, purging some junk out
of my house if I've not used it or not
worn it in the last year.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Why do I need it? And of course listening to
you guys.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Sweet, that is sweet.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Why is she purging us or listening?
Speaker 6 (14:14):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
No, no, no no, keeps the blaws away by listening and also
does purging. Another one another Terry says, keeping my Christmas
decorations up until February.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
That's how I keep the blaws away. Man, what an idea?
What's so funny about that?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
That's about Uh, that's personal though, because for me it
helps me to get them down.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I've already taken them down.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's different for different folks on that one.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Keep it coming.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
We love having you along. When you hear the words
phone anxiety, I mean to me, I guess I think
in our time and our culture, the first thing that
jumps to my mind would be, oh where I can't
live without it. I can't be without it, this device.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Oh yeah, right, exactly, your phone's at home, you're in
the car.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That's not phone anxiety, actually.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Opposite, right, I guess all the time.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It's a certain group of people, and it's young people
who are very anxious about making a phone calls.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Actually making a voice call, speaking.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
To someone on the phone. Now, what's so funny about that.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
For me, it was the greatest day in my life
when I was able to get a phone in my
room when I was a teenager and you know, talk
to my boyfriend all night or whatever I was, or
have private conversations instead of having them in the kitchen
with the long cord. My dad would walk in and
I would try to hide in the pantry, you know,
so he wouldn't hear what I was saying to my friends.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
And so back in the days of the home phone.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Right, so fast forward to today.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yes, there are plenty of younger people who have had
these devices in their hands their whole lives.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And it's which are called phones, but they.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Don't use them that way, and so they're not schooled
in the r of having a conversation or.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
It's just not a comfort zone thing. And if you're
used to texting.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Anytime I've told our girls that you call somebody, they're like, wait, would.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
That anxiety be the same for FaceTime? I guess it
would be when you're calling a stranger.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It is always when you're calling a stranger.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I mean, so like when I was a kid, I
can remember my phone anxiety was whenever it was a
girl I wanted to ask out for the first time.
I couldn't. I couldn't dial the phone.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah, those are a whole other issue involved with that,
but yes.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It was the phone.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
So I bring it up because there are some gen
zers who can now take a college course in this.
Nottingham College in England has added phone confidence to its curriculum.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That's cool. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Teachers run them through drills that mimic typical phone scenarios.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Let's say you need to call.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
When it rains, pick it up and say hello.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
This is a good life still, it's not funny, it's
a good life skill. But if you have to call
someone about something very important for your pharmacy or something.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh yes, absolutely, yeah. If you're intimidated, if it's something that, yeah,
you reach out to somebody that you perceive is bigger
than you are, more tentative.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
If you have children, it's something to be aware of
to work on with you.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Good point trending Now Jody's Hollywood Outsider, brought to you
