Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hope your summer's going well. Thank you for subscribing to
the Murphy, Salm and Jody podcast. While we're out, we're
flashing back to some of our favorite moments, and we'll
be back from vacation on July the fifteenth.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Are you supposed to move a turtle across the street
when you see them crossing but you're fearful that they're
about to get smashed?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Oh? I would't you it all the time? As long
as traffic is not dangerous and it's not dangerous for
me to stop, yes, I will go move the turtle.
I don't want it to be hurt. Well, is that
the wrong thing to do?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
No, but there's a right way to do it. In
the wrong way to do it. Turtles are on the
move right now. You're supposed to move them. They are.
I've seen it so much lately. One time I wasn't
able to stop and it was a big one, Murph,
But it was just like four.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Lanes of traffic, and I'm like, no, you're really not
trying to do it, and I would have not been safe.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I know what the answer is on this one. I
think as long as it's safe, Like you said, Jody, is.
You should probably make sure that you put it in
the direction it was already going, because it took it
forever to get there. Don't help him back right right,
because then he's gonna have to struggle over.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
It'll be Actually, you're supposed to move them the shortest
distanced postle.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
You're supposed to leave them alone as much as possible.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
If you see one in your yard, you're supposed to
leave them alone because it's actually life threatening to mess
with them too much.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
That's with them in my yard.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
I know they're great to take pictures.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's life threatening for them. They're all about direction. And
so if you turn the turtle turtle around, you've messed
them up. You've messed up their life's work. You've they're lost.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yes, in that case, you should move them.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
If they're about to get run over by a truck
and you you you can safely get out, you get
out and pick it up and move it the same
direction it was going in the shortest amount of distance
that you and I did it the other morning, Saturday morning,
when I went to mail that package on our street,
right right right before the little Vet Clinic turn off,
a sweet little turtle was crossing.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
And I stopped.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I made sure nobody was I moved him over, and
he looked at me, really funny, thanks lady.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Was he on his way to the vet?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I don't know where he was He was saying thanks
that he was saying, okay, now I'm confused, great lady.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I was going the other way, same exact direction. When
I came back down to the street to our house.
I stopped at the vet parking lot and I got out.
He was already gone, so I moved him from the
middle of the street right to the edge of the grass.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I can't believe I got it right, So just do
it in the direction.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
They're going, the exact direction, but it has moved them
as little as possible because it does mess with them.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Okay, yeah, but you know what I mean to me,
if the alternative is being smashed by a car, a
little confusion is probably not going to hurt him, right, saying.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
A little confus A lot of confusion will hurt them
a lot.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
I mean, how confused can a turtle.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Be if you turn them around? Very well?

Speaker 1 (02:49):
They do live a long time, saying, so maybe it's
very stressful to have confusion. For one hundred years.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Okay, another day.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
We all do impul buying.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yes, yeah, that's why they have the impulse aisle in
the grocery store, because they know it.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'm feeling some serious guilt from Sam about this subject.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Your whole your whole body language changes when I've said
the words impulse by. We're going to get to it.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
I'm a bad victim of it. You're the right customer
for us, I'm the sucker.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Okay, well, let's just lay it on the line. We're
gonna get to you know why you do it and
maybe how to slow that down to stop yourself.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Okay, we'll take away on my phone.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
So okay, first lay it on the line. What do
what kind of what category of things do you most
often impulse by?

Speaker 4 (03:34):
May not be a surprise.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
With flashlights, Wow you continue to buy them? I love them?

Speaker 4 (03:39):
But yeah, yeah I have How many do you have?
I probably have a dozen or so. Like my son
will his birthdays tomorrow, so I shipped him a gift.
I'm a flashlight and another is a little clip on
light that also has like a bottle opener. You can
stand it up and everything. Okay, all your cards right,

(04:00):
Murphy may become Christmas.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I think, I mean, I think he already has some
flashlights from you from over the end.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
It's one of the brightest ones too.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
I think today it is. I've got two more flashlights
coming now.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
These little tiny keys use flashlights.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Not that much to be buying them like I am.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
You're enamored with them.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
I'm waiting for the power to go out.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
That's cue. You're enamored with them, Yes, I am, Murphy. Well,
will you.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Admit to being an impulse buyer of I think I
know it's.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Bag snacks for sure. Oh really, yeah, chips or whatever
more than candy, more than anything like that. I'm a
sucker for that, and I can I can avoid. I
can avoid the candy temptation. But you know, even though
I do love it, I'm a sucker if it's directly
in front of me. But the impulse buy thing for
me or snacks back what I.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Walked into the other day. You forgot to stash them
away from it.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I wasn't trying to hide anything.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Fun show bunch of you know, I've never had them.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
And then you left, You left them like you had
opened them and eaten some of them.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
So I tried them they're light as air.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, they're potato snacks you never had before. And the
thing is, I was about to go complain to the
manager at Walmart because they're on the bottom shelf where
you can't really see them. Lachos deserve much better product.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Place than Yeah, that's where they also put the crunch
and Munch and Crackerjack, right on the bottom, and nobody
looks for that stuff anymore.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
A follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Love digging into your comments there. This one is from Jennifer,
and we know why she's sending it. My daughter got
a tattoo of my handwriting on her forearm, and that's
because we had mentioned that.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Phoebe mentioned that to me this past weekend.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Now our youngest wants to do she doesn't have any
tattoos yet, and she wants one.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
That reminds her of you, which is some sort of
radio thing, which is cool, and then one is something
of my handwriting. So Jennifer says, my daughter got a
tattoo of my handwriting on her forearm that says this
too shall pass. She said it reminds her of every
time that she when she was down, when she was

(06:03):
a little growing up, I would say it to her
all the time, She says she refers to it often
when she's overwhelmed with a one year old and three
year old at home and while teaching middle school special education.
It truly touched my heart when she did it, No kidding.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
I love that. You know. That's one of those quotes
that you hear so much that sometimes it can easily
lose meaning. But it's a really important one because it's
true no matter.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
What you're going through. Yeah, all things change. It's another one.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
All things change, things will get better.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
They totally will.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Also from the post from our weekend together, Murphy, I
posted a picture of me, Ante and Phoebe. Michelle says,
Taylor is all you and Phoebe is all Murphy. Dna
is sure crazy.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
She's just looking at the photo. You mean.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, wow, that's funny because every time I see Phoebe,
I see your mom, Jody.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I know it's weird.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Everybody sees a little bit differently. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, and I can't see it at all. Yeah, I can't.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
They just look like individuals to me.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
It's funny because it was a week or so ago
when we posted the picture of me and Mattie out
of her sorority thing. Yes, I had a lot of comments.
It looks just like you spit an image and it's like,
I think she looks like her mom.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
I think she looks like her mom too. It's something
that you need to know if you have.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Small children, If you have babies right now and you're
clocking them hard, you're looking, going, she looks like her dad,
and I want her to look like me, because there's
something in us. We want our children to look like us.
They are going to change so much you can't imagine.
You know, the kid may look like dad right now,
but at ten years old, they may look exactly like you.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, right, exactly.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
They don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
You do.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Only need to worry if they don't look anything like you.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Proud of you both for being really honest about what
you buy, what you impulse by Sam's flashlights, Murphy's snacks,
and that for sure is true. I will get in
his car in the passenger seat to go somewhere and
like snack bags fall out.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
It's like, oh, I know.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Where you've been well, or sometimes if I remember, it's like, hey,
be careful, don't sit on that.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
They're still half of it for later. Yeah, what's yours, Joey.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Well, let's see if Murphy can guess what do you
think I buy impulsively?

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Impulsively? Ear rings?

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Oh, I was gonna say jewelry.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
It's not earrings.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Well, I mean, I guess it is in that categraphic.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
So it's got to be shoes then.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
No, no, no fashion, So ear rings fall? Earrings do fall?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Fashion in general is your impulse?

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Okay, I'll see something last minute.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Wow, I don't have that color top or that that
that's a great deal on those genes. That's one thing
about the impulse buy. For me, it's like, if it's
a screaming deal, how can I leave it? You know?

Speaker 4 (08:37):
That justifies everything?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Okay, flashlights? So why are we all hooked on it
because of a feeling? Are purchases that are impulse purchases
are based on a feeling? You do it emotionally And
this is from a spending coach, And the word is
two feelings that happen. Number one, who we want to
be or who we think who we want the world

(08:59):
to think we are. So I guess that's that's where
fashion would come in. Okay, Like a designer handbag.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Like, can't look at that? So vanity vanity is that answer?

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
And the other one is who you want to be?
Who you want to become. I don't think your snacks
have anything to do with that though, see No, I
challenge this a little bit.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
The flavor what is it called? You know when you
work ironically, when you work out and you have that
feeling afterwards, that's what hormone is that? No, the hormone
is oh oh.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
And doorphins. I wonder if that there's because endorphins almost
regulate everything. I bet you, and doorphins are released when
you enjoy something like a snack.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Right, it's very It's funny to watch Murphy try to
resist a snack. You just can't do it, and that's
so cute. I to me, it's also like, where's.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
The good deal? Yeah, where's the good deal?

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Justification because if it's a screaming deal, it's so time.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
You've conquered something. Yeah. Normally three things to note today
would go right here, but we're on vacation this week.
Jody will return with that when we get back.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
You know. The other afternoon, I got to pick up
my nephew, my grandson, Hollis my nephew.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yes, Sam, okay, so Hollis and Pops.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah, how did it go? It went great. I learned
so much from Amble. First of all, I learned that
he has his own money, because we should say that
this was the first time that it's really been just
you and him. Right, You've been quote unquote totally responsible
for me. Wow, totally irresponsible for him. Yes, there was
a car seat. So if everybody's wanting yeah, but he did.

(10:29):
I said, oh, you got some new shoes. He goes, yeah,
I went to the store. Mommy bought those shoes with
her money, and I bought a transformer with my money.
I said, oh, that's good.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
And so they're teaching him about money early. He's getting
and earning his own money.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Well, a transformer he bought is called trash Master. It's
a garbage truck that transforms, obviously, and so we started
talking about garbage trucks and he goes, hey, Pops, is
your garbage truck a front loader, a sideloader, or a
rear loader? And I was like, uh, I'm driving.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
No.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
I was like, well we can if we if we
go play legos, we can make any Commy one. He goes,
no in real life.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
I was like, what do you mean? He goes, what
kind of garbage truck picks up your garbage? I was
like oh. I was like, well, I do have a sideloader.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Because you know it comes and the arm there comes out. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
The answer to that front loaders are for dumpsters only.
I said, Okay, how old is he? He's five?

Speaker 3 (11:26):
He's obsessed with garbage trucks.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Oh, whoa. It gets better. So we're twoing down the
road and he goes, that's bulldozer. I was like what.
He goes, oh that, and over there that's a grater
and that's a backo. It's like we were passing the
construction and he's throwing out everything and I was like
that to me, it's like, yeah, that's a tractor. That's
a tractor, and that's a tractor.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
That is fantastic.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
And he thought you were probably worrying, worrying what you
needed to do for him.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Meanwhile he's schooling you.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
And we went to a place to you know, I
got him a snack after he did as a ninja of practice,
and it was a place that has ice cream and cookies.
So figured let him choose, and Sammy his dad, my son,
warned me, he's going to negotiate with you, negotiating because
I said him on tell him you're gonna have a
cookie or ice cream, And he goes. Watch what he's
gonna do. He's gonna ask can I have both? So
we go there and he says, I want a cookie?

(12:17):
All right. So we're looking at all the cookies and
he picks not the regular size but the big six
inch ones. Yeah, okay, we'll get that. Then, Pops, can
I have two? And I was like, well, you know
you can, of course you can't.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, how many more are you on?

Speaker 4 (12:36):
So I was like, you can eat one now and
we'll eat one after dinner when you get home.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Very nice, well done, Chops. There's a new study and
it's kind of like, duh that dogs know? Actually dogs
do know some words. I'm thinking, yeah, they do. It's situational,
it's circumstantial. Name one Murphy that ours no.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh night night.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I thought you were going to say pottyts no potty.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
They're no outside, they no potty, you know, champ nos walk,
he knows walk, they know treat.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Lisa says here on our Facebook page, that she has
to when she spells, she's she took the spelling the
word walk, and now they know that her dogs know
the word the spelling.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
When she says w A l K, they all get up.
Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Well, that's because they're going to associate a sound pattern
with the action. You know what I mean. So whether
it's English, you could make up your own word, as
long as you followed up with that action, they're going
to follow. And you know what what I wasn't expecting
is at night when we do the whole nighttime routine,
which really is my favorite, because all three dogs fall
right in the line. They do what they're supposed to do.

(13:44):
They go and they potty and they immediately getting crates.
They just know what the drill is. But when I
started saying all right, all ready, and so now when
I say I'm ready, boom, they're up and there because
I started following that up with let's go potty.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
It lets you know that they're always paying attention. Obie says.
Took it to a discipline training course and was told
the most important command to teach your pets leave it.
All of ours know this one very well. They also
know outside, walk, treat, dinner, breakfast in bedtime.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
See that's a lot, but leave it. I've never heard.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
You know.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
It's kind of universal for anything that you stopped. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
We have another one that says go home, which means
go get in your crate. Oh, she says go home,
and they all kindel up and see. I think Murphy
and I confused our pack at one point because I
was like, kennel up and they would do it, and
then he would say, get in your crate. Oh, so
you know, make sure, make sure you're a united front.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Discuss no certain words.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Gus knows treat, Gus knows potty outside. But when I
was little, our family dog, you could say the vet
and he wouldn't get it. He knew the vet's name.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
Whoa doctor so and SidD I'd say, oh, we got
to take them to doctor Heaven or ear and then
you know that cowering like, oh I don't want to
go to doctor Heven.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Oh that is pressious.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Our little poodle knew closed the door, and if it
was open, she'd go close it.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Amazing, keep it coming. We love hearing from you. On
Instagram and Facebook.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Mentioned this yesterday and three things to know today, how
to know if your eyes were damaged by looking at
the eclipse.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
I mean, okay, we'll go over it again for you.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, symptoms to look
out for blurry vision, headaches, a little blind spot in
the central vision of one or both of your eyes.
Increased sensitivity to light. Please don't let me have that,
because you guys, now, I'm already sensitive delight.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
I'm like a vampire.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
Yeah that's your skin though, right, not your eyes.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
But no, when if a light is too bright, I'm
always backing away from it. Remember, okay, you guys know
this Murphy is always trying to shine light to me,
and it's like, wait, and anyway, what's.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Going on over there?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Well, you have given me a lot of flashlights, Sam,
I make use of them.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
And here's another one, changes in the way you see color.
So there are millions of people, at least thousands, who
looked at the eclipse who maybe didn't have the proper
eye wear and having some issues.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
You know, when I was watching the coverage on TV,
and you know, there were especially the big get togethers,
and I was wondering to myself, you know, are there.
And actually I didn't want to rat out one of
the people on one of the networks, so I won't
even say what network. But the reporter literally took her
glasses off and was looking up at the side of
that moment, and I'm like, don't do that, right, you know,

(16:42):
But I just worry. I worried about that because you
know what, if you bought the cheek and glasses or whatever.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, I got news for you.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Even if I was in the best spot on the
path of totality, I had the best spot, I would
not do it. I wouldn't look at it. I've seen
the sky get dark. I see it every night. I
don't I don't want to damage my eyes. Yeah, I
just don't get people doing that. But some people think
it's a cool, cool thing to see.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Well, the minelar glasses and that sort of thing works.
It's the same thing like, you know, a welder's helmet.
I'm not suggesting wearing a welder's helmet for an eclipse,
That's not what I'm saying, but you know what I'm saying.
But it's eye protection, you know. And so if you
bought the real deal there, you know, that's that's what
you're designed to do to keep that from hurting you.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah, but well, look to wrap up the story in
case you did miss it. There is no treatment for
solar retinopathy or eclipse blindness as it is called. But
the experts say that injury to the eye from this
is rare, and they're just saying if you're if you
have problems right now from looking at it, it probably

(17:44):
will get better and fix itself in three to six months.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
That's the one that gets me. You'll probably be all right.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
The latest Buzz Jody's Hollywood Outsider, brought to you by
Dairy Queen. This is exciting news. Buckle up, guys.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Jerry Bruckheimer says that he has had a discussion with
Tom Cruise about Top Gun three, and it's a story
that Tom liked, and that's all it takes. It's for
Tom to like it. If Tom didn't like it Dead
in the Water.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Well, look, he did a great job bringing it back,
you know what I mean. It was a lot to
live up to the first movie, right, and Maverick was
pretty Allen and Rick.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Was so good.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
In fact, when they opened the opening sequence with this music,
I was like, man, I'm in this.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yeah, so excited. It's exciting.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
Who the enemy is going to be this time?

Speaker 3 (18:32):
No, it doesn't say anything about that, but here's what's up.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
The other part of that thing is that Tom Cruise
is sixty one years old and he is one of
the busiest actors in Hollywood. He has a lot of
projects lined up already, so it's not like you can
just start work right away. Yeah, you know, and so
in the projects he has lined up take months and
months to do.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
It's not some easy little thing, you know.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
So if you ever want to see it, he's going
to have to go, Okay, this is more important than
you know, right, one hundredth mission and here is when
I want to.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Do it, right when he wants to do it. So
we don't know if it'll ever happen.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
And stunts.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
The word is also that Tom is when he's in
a project, he's really in it, and he stays late,
you know, he doesn't disappear. He works with everybody on
the project and he's the first one at work in
the morning. Sam, it was so sweet earlier when you
were telling us about your grandson Hollis and you're picking
him up, you know, after his after school the other
day and bringing him to ninja practice, and he got

(19:30):
to spend the afternoon with you. And that hasn't that's
this was your first time to do that.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
You learned the difference between a back ho and a tractor.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
That's right, Yeah, because it's so funny because that's the
opposite of what you would expect. You know, time with
a grandparent is you know, you get to show them
and tell them and so much.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
I thought I'd be doing all the talking and like, hey,
how was school, and Hey this, and hey that, and
it was just like I was getting a description of
everything going on outside the car.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Well, I love that too, and it may it reminds
me of the coolest piece of advice. I guess it
was that I ever heard about, you know, small children
spending time with adults, whether that be an uncle or
an aunt, or mom and dad or grandparents, which is
treasured time?

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Is that? And it was my uncle Terry who said it.
And he's one of the one of those.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
People that's every kid's favorite person in the family. When
there are small children in our family, they make a
bee line to Uncle Terry it just like I.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Did, because he engages them that's.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Why completely engages them. He gives them the time and attention.
But he said this to me a long time ago.
He said, everything is new to a child. Oh it's
so and so there's so much you can tell them
and teach them, like every little thing the flower stop
and talk to them about it if they want to,
you know, everything riding an elevator. And so his grandchildren,

(20:43):
my uncle Terry has grandchildren now too, and you spend
time with those grandchildren and they know stuff. And I'm thinking,
you've been spending time with your grandfather. I can tell
because like we were at a hospital once, you know,
when one of the one of his grand children were born,
and his older grandchild came in and said, look, Jody,
you see the way.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
That the the.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Wind sock is blowing. That's so that the helicopter knows
how to land. And I'm like, whoa what? And this
was a kid, And it's because of the time he's
spent with an adult engaging.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Right.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
One thing I forgot to tell you was we usually
don't know what he eats in my car. Usually. Oh
and when Hollis head is cookie, can I eat it
in the car? I was like, of course, you.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
Can, of course the grandparent answer.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
After we were done and he got out the car
and I took the seat out, there was crumbs all
over the seat and a napkin, and I was just like,
I'm gonna leave that for a day or so because
it's just nice to remember, because that's exactly how it
used to be. Of course, you know, when I had
him as little kids. You might have enough in there
for another cookie if you scrape it together.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Normally three things to note today would go right here,
but we're on vacation this week. Jody will return with
that when we get back.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Take us along and listen on your schedule. It's the Murphy,
Sam and Jody Podcast. Free and easy to down load,
subscribe anywhere you listen to podcasts. Just search Murphy Santa Jetti.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah, it's super easy. And if tech stresses you out,
by the way, if you're the kind of person that
just it's not your thing, I have some good news.
I think you know that there's hope for anybody who's
tech challenge. Really, Jody is a self admitted text challenged person.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
I don't like it, Yeah, I appreciate it in my life.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
I don't want to deal with it.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Well, you need to know that you actually do have
some tech skills. Oh and I'm not being condescending. I
really am not.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
I'm trying to think of where you might be going here.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Well, I'll say, well, so you'll remember as soon as
I explained it. Yesterday, I was having to reset up
a few different pieces of software on a computer that
required one of these codes to activate the software. And
if you don't you know, if you don't know the
code right, then the software doesn't work. And I mean
I typed in probably twenty times. I followed the instructions.

(23:01):
I kept going back and back and back, and every
time it told me that it would just wasn't gonna
accept what I was typing in there. I mean, I screenshot,
I looked letter for letter, I looked for everything.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
You came in and you were fussing and I did.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
I say, yeah, right, And I told Jody some of
the words.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
I can't children may be listening, but we were fussing.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah. And so after the twenty first time and it
didn't work, Jody said, well, did you try caps locks
or something like that? And I'm like, I typed this
all caps that's it. It needed it in all caps.
But sure, why not let me try that?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
That was it?

Speaker 1 (23:37):
And so when I did cap locks it worked.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
So what happened like one letter wasn't capitalized.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
No, everything was capitalized. I was using this shift It
does matter, but it shouldn't matter. A shift shouldn't matter.
Shift A is still a capital a, right, but for
whatever reason, But you were.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Right, he just asked me in the future, obviously I
have more tech games.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah, but you sawd it and you should. You always
kick yourself for saying you're not teching about you.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Well, it kind of does. You got to try different ways.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
You have to try different ways to outsmart computers sometimes.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, okay, all right, so think around your suggestion. She
just doesn't know why, but that's okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Right, So what is going on with you? If you
wake up at the same time every night?

Speaker 1 (24:31):
You mean before you're supposed to wake up as you right.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
I mean in the middle of the night at two
am exactly, or something wonky like that. We've all had
that in life, right.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
I don't know that it's happened to me the same
time two nights in a row.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Well, of course, of course, Murphy's the stime.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
The thing is if I if I eat too late
and it's like really heavy duty stuff that wakes me
up for whatever reason because you.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Ate too late. That's the reason anyway.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
So if you're waking up around the same time every night,
it's not supernatural, but it's super interesting.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, it's weird.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
It is weird because you're thinking, you're thinking, what's going on?
So the word is I dug into it? And it's
so interesting because of your sleep cycle being what it is,
light sleep, deep sleep, the deepest, and then what they
call REM. We all know about REM, where your brain
activity picks up so much it mirrors some of your
normal activity during the day. Brain activity during RIM sleep

(25:24):
isn't that crazy but basically really not supernatural. The reason
because you go through those steps of sleep every night,
regardless if you're going to bed at the same time.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
The more closely you keep to a schedule. That is why.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Because your levels of sleep, you know, by the time
the time that you reach RIM is about the same
time every night, and then when you wake up the
same time for no apparent that's usually right after REM.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Thank goodness, isn't that crazy?

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Quit thinking about this one every night? Right because it happens.
I mean, of course I'm regimented about it's time for bed, and.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
That's why it's time wake up in the two how.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Do you wake up in the middle of the night
at the same time every nothing really And I look,
it'll be like in a cycle of time four days
and these shift times me too, But for a couple
of days it does it. It's like, how did I do?

Speaker 2 (26:15):
And you think it's supernatural or something. I now, I've
had those questions like what's going on? Somebody trying to
tell me something and I'm like, daddy, But anyway, that's
what it is.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Is there any harm in it?

Speaker 2 (26:27):
No, because if you can go back to sleep within minutes,
there's no medical harm in it. The problem, the long
term problem is if you can't go back to sleep
and then you're missing out on chunks, really big chunks
of sleep. That's the only problem. So aren't you glad
to know that divorce registries are a thing and it

(26:49):
actually helps someone move on? Do you guys know what
it means when I say divorce registry, it should.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Be getting divorce. You go sign up for gifts.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
You go register, you sign up for the things you're
losing to the other half.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Boom Murphy had it. Well you understand this.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
I mean, okay, well the power of deduction.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Right, and so it's not as common as a wedding registry.
But apparently you know when you are splitting up, maybe
it's half your stuff.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
You lose half your stuff.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
And so if you need a toaster, or you need
a microwave, or you need a bed or so far,
whatever it may be, even some small small things.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Have you ever bought a gift for somebody a friend
getting divorced, like, hey, I know you're losing the toaster, so.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Here No, not no, But if I had a friend
who was getting divorced and they registered for something, I
would I would buy something.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
I would want to help.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
In fact, when someone's going through something traumatic, and divorce
is the second most traumatic thing emotionally you can go through,
the first being the loss of a spouse, like to death. Yes,
I would want to help. You always say I'll do anything,
I'm here for you. Well, this is the way you
can be there for them if they register.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Good divide's friends up too though you know groups and
all that, you know, I guess what you could do
is if both are getting divorced, you go to both
registries and double check just to make sure no one's
double dipping.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
Yeah, I know you're keeping the microwave. Why is there
one on the list?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
How likely is it that both people would be double dipping?
You're saying if you looked at both registries side by side,
it should be a complete home.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
I wish I know about this years ago. I'd be
rolling in stuff.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
You wouldn't have registered though, correct.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Oh, that's right, I have the house.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
You do have the house.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
No one would have believed you though. By the time
you got to the third one, he's getting divorced again.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Here's the real question.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Did you lose anything from your house in one of
the divorces that you would have liked to have capt Oh?

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah, like, oh, I mean in the first house. I
lost the house the first divorce.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Excuse me, but you bought it back.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Yeah. The thing is in losing things, it's been pretty
amicable because it's like, yes, I know that's yours and no,
that's mine. You can't have it, you can't discussions. Yeah,
it's never turned into anything, you know, vicious or very good.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, okay, just so you know.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Then on the second one, don't play that.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Divorce registries are a thing, and the word is it
helps a person moveare life and feel supported by friends
and family.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
D's up on this one from Chuck E Cheese. Okay,
the animatronics are going to be gone by the end
of this year. You know what, Zadio says. We're getting
rid of all the animatronics by the end of this year.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
I think a lot of little children are going to
be fine with that.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Oh I was terrified when I was a kid. But
it's probably a night mirror too, you know.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
I mean, wait, you know why you were terrified. It's unnatural.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
You go to Disney World and the Country bears are
not real.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah, and they're creepy, and neither are the presidents.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
There's there's, however, many of them over there talking.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
We started on the creepy.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
I guess the world is more advanced now you don't
need animatronics. But again, mechanical failure. You know, you have
a mouse that doesn't move.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
You know, they got four of them on stage and
only one of them moved.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
One don't worry and.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
It's saying things we did in program right.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Why what is their statement of why they're getting rid of.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Because they're going to move into present times. They're looking
at adding dance floors, big screens, and trampoline gems. What
you mean a trampoline place fun?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yeah, okay, And I guess they'll still have all the
you know, the games, so you can still win tickets
for a little prizes. Yeah, it's fifty tickets, you get
an eraser. Okay, congratulations, I remember that.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Well, I actually found some of those tokens the other day,
Jodie from I leftover pizza party.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
Well, hope you got rid of them.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Well, I was actually gonna redeem them.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Stuck them in the coke machine, got a few drinks. Also,
I saw that a TGI Fridays is closing about three
dozen stores across the country. They only have about two
hundred locations left in America.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me anymore.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
It's okay, going back to the I can't go back
to the animatronics. What I was going to say is
it's a it's a there's a sweet spot in childhood
where kids are like, oh, awesome, but then there's something
that kicks in where they I guess in childhood you realize, oh,
you should be afraid of some things which we want

(31:20):
children to do that they.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Don't trust it.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
So there's a spot in childhood where you're scared of
that sort of stuff.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
And I think it's people in costumes. Phoebe was afraid
when we went to Disney. Who was she afraid of? Oh,
Phoebe was afraid of snow one.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
I know you weren't. He was gorgeous.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
Social media connect.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
We've heard you about tanning beds. We were mentioning the
other day and you have responded on our Instagram and
Facebook pages about tanning beds being back and being hot
with jim Z Like I didn't know they were still around.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Murphy says, he does know that they're still okay.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
So getting very real about tanning beds, Diana. I've never
been in a tanning bed, Steven. I know a few
people who tanned all the time, and now they seem
to look ten years older than they really are. Gail says,
they stand in line for them where I live out
the door.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
It's a personal choice. You know what you want to
do for me. I don't know it's about the tanning part.
I would be claustrophobic in there, Yes, you would merga
that's I just can't be contained in a right space.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
I had always heard.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
I told you the story about when I worked at
the health club and they have tanning beds in the back,
and I never got in one because I knew I
would just burn.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
There were a lot of girls who used to.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Come there and I would help check them in and
all that and do my job, and they were like,
I can't wait to get in here because they were
trying to achieve a look. But they also loved the
way it felt to them. There was some sort of
good endorphin thing going on. Really, yes, But the same
thing happens in the sun.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Yeahin d I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
I don't know if that's exactly what's happening in the
tanning bed. But there is a feeling is that we
all feel when lying in the sun. Not that that's
good either, just saying there, it's a fact that there's
a feeling attached.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
I love it if it's on a beach in the sun.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah, Iris says burning bed it's like putting yourself in
the oven.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Not for me, Deborah.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
I tanned in beds for a number of years, and
I loved a dark beach.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Look.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Now, I'm sorry I did it as I have so
much damage to my skin. Live and learn, Julie says,
loved them for years now dealing with skin cancers. Thankfully
it's basil cell and not melanoma. Yeah, Valerie says, I
know it's bad for my skin, but I love the
tanning bed. It makes me feel good. But I haven't
done it in years. Maybe where she lives she can't

(33:47):
find them or something like that.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Sometimes you don't want tan lines, you know.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Experience again, but you couldn't. You would never get in
them anyway, you didn't need to.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Murphy gets a tan after being in the sun ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Just beware.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
You have a choice. You either do that or you
go to a beach where you can do that.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Tough to find his family vacation
