Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody Daily Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Most common things that dogs and cats swallow and the
vet bills that follow. I didn't mean to make it
sound like Doctor Seuss, but it's true.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Well it's a real thing. Huh.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
If your pet eats something they're not supposed to and
you realize it, you're on the way to the vet.
Murphy and I've been there when our little dog ate
a bunch of fudge and it was a how much
money did we spend that day?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Couple of hundred dollars, you know, I mean more than alive.
So you can't put a price on that sho.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
He had to have an ivy ivy fluids.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
And all that. He was dehydrated. It was it was bad.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It was our fault.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
That's why, you know. I mean, it's you can't feed
dogs chocolate.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Okay, So this is based on reports through a pet
insurance company. Here are the thousands of veterinary claims most
common and dangerous things that pets swallow. For dogs and
cats it's different. So for dogs the number one is
chocolate big because it's toxic to them. It's dangerous. They
can have candy or chocolate, they cannot Okay, they can't
(01:12):
do it. I mean, Sparky's lucky he is alive. We
know that cats the number one thing that gets them
in trouble is string. And I'm thinking, well, you're playing
with them with string. Isn't that a cliche?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
What?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Is it them swallowing it or getting tangled in it
or both, or.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
They're swallowing the string and then it's called linear foreign
body obstruction in the vet world, it's stuck somewhere in
the gi track of the cat, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Which is not very linear. Eventually it reaches its endpoint. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Sometimes the average cost of a string ingestion emergency is
twenty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Wow, not laughing anymore, are you?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It just seems like that's a difficult one to prevent,
the right. I mean, if they're getting in to something
that you don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Is stringing, Yeah, you can't leave string around.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Samy, you've ever had that problem with your cat?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Now, he eats grass, but he doesn't eat strings to
a more than twenty five hundred dollars, Bill, don't you
just wait it out?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I don't know if your cat is really sick, and
it could it could be toxic for them. I mean,
you have to make that assessment as a pet owner.
Second thing on the list for cats and dogs is
the same, and that's toys or toy parts.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Remember when our boxer ate a polypocket once, Murphy.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, that scared us. You got to treat your dogs
there the same way as like little You know, kids,
you don't want small parts. They're all choking hazards, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, well that worked. That worked itself out in the yard.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah. The good news is we were able to wash
it right off and put it back in the toy bote.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
The kids didn't even know.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
We did not. When you buy a home, is everything
in the home yours? Murphy. I know you're going to
know what to say here. The word is there's a
purchase agreement, and it's supposed to specify. Yes, you can
keep these window treatments because they were custom made, but
you have to specify all of that. Correct.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Anything that's immovable you have to specify if it's going
to you know, remain with the house sale. And anything
that's an immovable meaning that physically attached to the wall
is considered part of the sale. So you also have
to if you're going to take your brackets with you,
then you need to explain that you're taking It needs
to be part of the purchase agreement.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
And yeah, this sort of thing happens every day in
the world of transfer of ownership of homes and property.
Because like, wait, I didn't know this was not we
had that happen. Remember, I want to say, we bought
the house we live in now didn't have a mailbox,
and we thought, we assumed that he was supposed to
put a mailbox up, and he didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Well, but he didn't take his mailbox. It just wasn't
the mailbox right, not the same Did he get mail? No,
I don't know he.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I don't know. Anyway, I bring this back up because
it's such an interesting little thing that happens every day,
and touched on it in one of the three Things
to Know yesterday, there's this couple outside of Chicago that
bought a house. They're about to get married, and in
the attic upstairs, they didn't even know that this attic
space existed. They found this boxed up beautiful wedding gown.
(04:16):
This couple's about to get married. They cannot find the owners.
They can't the previous owners, they can't get in touch
with them, and they want to use She wants to
use the gown, and it's like, I think the gown
is hers, don't you now?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Finders keepers?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, buyers keepers, they buy, they bought the house.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, but well that's a really good question. You know
they're doing the right thing by trying to find the owners. Yeah,
because most people would want to do that. It's like, hey,
this doesn't belong to me, it belongs to you. It's
a dress, you know, it's not like it's a mirror
on the wall.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Well, I will say this too. I started looking it
up to dig more into the story, and there's a
bunch of stories like this that it's a big, boxed
up old wedding gown. Because guess what when a woman
has one of those really elaborate wedding gowns that you
know the parents bought, and then you want to preserve it,
you wear it one day and you want to preserve it,
you have to put it in a one of those
(05:08):
boxes it's made to keep, and you forget about that
and life goes on and you accidentally leave it. It's just
one of those It happened. The wedding gown thing and
addicts happens.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So this is not really a museum piece like from
the Victorian age or something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I think like the nineties. So it's still a beautiful dress.
Trending now Jody's Hollywood Outsider. So the long awaited biopick
starring Julia Garner about Madonna, Madonna's biopic has been canceled
(05:43):
after a falling out with Universal Studios and Madonna, of course,
over the film's budget. This is so upsetting to me
because this is the biopic I want. When you think
about the Michael Jackson one and how much it took
you back there, how real it seemed, and I want
this one.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I think one would have been special because she was
heavily involved in it. She was writing it, wanted to
direct it and all that. So we're going to get
it right from the horse's.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Mouth, She says. She's had to explain to them that
this film needed a big budget. It was an extraordinary
life and they couldn't get their heads around it at
the scale of the project. They even proposed that she
go to like Serbia for a lower cost production. And
then and she she said, I'll do it, and they said, no,
you're not going to stay there for even more than
(06:33):
four days, and she said, have you have you read
the script? My whole life is about survival. I can
do anything, and I won't be there for holiday anyway,
it collapsed and then they talked about it being a
Netflix series. I remember that, and that has fallen through
as well. So she says, you know, it's a good thing.
I have another job music because I need to work.
I need to create, which means this movie is not happening.
(06:55):
Oh wow, makes me so sad because it's the biopic.
I really want to see eight seven seven three one
zero four ms j.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Hi Casey, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I was just calling him to tell you. My dog
a Doberman and he's the sweetest thing, but he's not
real smart. He's a pair of underwear and both times
had to go in and have surgery because they would
get caught in him. He had to have it done
twice now and like within a four month span. And
(07:30):
then he ate a towel and had to have surgery
to have that taken out.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, what do you even do when you've got this
kind of dog? I don't know, You're gonna have to
your medical bills and he's eating your stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yes, we joke that we've spent more on him than
we have on our kids in the last year on
medical bills.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, that is a tough spot to be in with
a pet.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Sounds like he likes to taste of cotton.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I think he should does the vague so nice?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
To save everything?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Is there anything way he saved it?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It's through what do you do with it?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I just wondered if you washed it and put it
back in circulation.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Tell our daughters that because they were herds, that that
was her car, her first car about you know, hey,
you know this costs as much as a car. So
there you go.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
That's she'll resent the dog, is what it sounds like?
Was that? What does your does your vet give you
any advice on how to keep him from doing this?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, he told us just to keep an eye on
him constantly, But I mean that's not very realistic.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And we try, but keeps the laundry off the floor.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
H Yes, we keep laundry off the floor, all the
doors closed all the time, and somehow he manages to
find things. He's found a dishpeal that was you know,
up on the counter because he's dig so he reach it.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Who can know what is going on in the dog's
mind when they do this. I cannot understand. What's his name,
the cotton eater?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
His name is the thank you Casey. You know, Jody
and I've only had one dog that was really over
the top. It was our first dog, Chevy, who would
do that. He was tall. He would reach for things,
you know that he would want ump on a table
or so. It made it very difficult to keep an
eye on him all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Like he ended up eating all kinds of things over
his lifetime. He ate soap, He had a whole corn
on the cob he did.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
We never found that one, sad, never really knew what.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Happened to yet, Thank you Casey joined the convo. Anytime
we have to do a employee self assessment, and this
is the second one I've ever done in my life,
which is fine. And I wanted to ask Murphy, our manager, manager,
(09:43):
Murphy number one, what do you think of these and
do you have to do them too?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, of course I have to do them. Okay, I
thought you were going to ask me how you can
game the system?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
No, well, while you're at it, why not sure?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
By the way, the first time we did it, I
think it was last year, found it a thoughtful exercise.
I mean, it really made me think about my answers.
It really made me think about my role and what
I contribute and what my weaknesses are, because I really
fully believe that we all have strengths and weaknesses and
we need to lean into the strengths.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, you know what I like about them, what I
like about them for you know, for me personally. And
I guess you know from from a business is you're
you're focusing on like performance and results. It's not subjective,
you know what I mean, It's not you know, opinions.
It takes to and for one thing in a busy world.
It also really gives important feedback to somebody who's working
(10:38):
very hard every day who may not hear you know, hey,
you're doing this, you know extremely well, congrats a great
job or whatever, or you know, some sort of constructive
feedback on how to improve in an area. And I
think sometimes when it's written like that, it also gives
the employee and the freedom to be honest about something
that they may have trouble saying. In person that do
you help with.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
So my huge question though, is you're in management. You
get the self assessments and you read them and you
see them. How do you not get a ten out
of ten for every answer? Because people genuinely think and
feel that they're doing the best of anybody, is it not?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
For me?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
What I see?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I see two different things. I see people who undersell
themselves because they're naturally very humble and they're afraid to,
you know, over assert, So they're not going to say
that they do something at a five, or you know,
if it's a scale of one to five with five
being the best, they may not. They may do all fours.
And then you do have some people that you know,
you know, that have a concern that if I don't
(11:38):
you know, if I don't put all fives, then then
what's going to happen to me?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
It's all I think.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
It's like anything else, you have to have the leader
whoever's in charge of it, actually explain, Look, you know,
this is this is an honest, open assessment. There's no
wrong answer it, you know, is what it is. And
this is not the kind of thing that's going to
get you fired at the end of the day, right,
that's not what it's I guess unless you're a pre
out of all ones, it's just strength. I'm pretty much
the worst of everything I do. I'm gonna lose there,
(12:06):
but I'm still here.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
It's to strengthen the relationship and the communication. What is
the employee thinking and feeling and how, And it's a
good chance for the employee to say this is what
I do, raise my hand. Chances are you have a
revenge bedtime at least a few nights a week, especially
if you are a parent, and you don't even realize it.
Murphy doesn't get the term revenge bedtime.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
So what does that mean.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
It's a term I've seen it in a million times,
and it's so funny that the first time I read it,
I knew it meant revenge again, revenge bedtime, procrastination, revenge
against life taking all your me time. You don't have
me time anymore when you're in the thick of it
in life. You have work and family and a home
to run, and you have kids.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
So how does revenge bedtime actually work?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You stay up later than you actually your body is
actually telling you like you could go to bed. You
know that you need more sleep, and you know about
the bedtime routine and all that, and it would be
good to get a good night's sleep, but all that
stuff that calls you is finally done for the day,
and you take a little me time at night to doom, scroll,
to binge a show, to read, a novel, you know whatever.
(13:15):
So it's me time, sneak.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I haven't had any time today. I need to go
to bed, but you know what, I'm staying up anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, we do it. And what's so funny to me
is I think it's a beautiful form of self care.
You just don't realize that that's what you're doing. We've
all done it. I bet you. If you're hearing about
this for the first time, here, you do it. You're
not in going oh I do that, I doom scroll
or I shop online.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Putting yourself in your own little capsule for a little while.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
It is And you know what, I think the reason
it's the thing is because we need it. We all
need to pay a little attention to ourselves every day,
in whatever form that takes. You know what I mean, Murphy.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I got your reset time too.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I mean it is they say that Americans, they've done
some studies and like real honest surveys, and you know,
Americans will stay up another hour for their own little
me time. Ninety something percent of adults do this. They
know it's bad for their sleep, they know they're going
to pay for it in the morning, but they still
need it.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, I understand that. You know, it's I've noticed when
the house gets quiet and the lights are out and
it's just about bedtime, when the dog's already bed to bed,
there's a peace about it, right, and you're like, this
is peaceful. I need to stay a week for this.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
For a little while.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I think it's also the fact that every person, no
matter age, no matter where you are in life, you
need to feel like you have the choice at least
once a day to do what you want to do.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, everybody else calling you, that makes perfect sense.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Okay, so it's called revenge bedtime de frastination, And I
mean I think we all have it.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Yeah, oh I do it.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Morning pick me up time. So we all know what
muscle memory is, right, the things.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That you can do automatically kind of like you know,
you when you learn to drive a car, it's like
stressful because you're paying attention to pedal and everything, and
then it becomes natural.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Right, Riding a bike is muscle memory too. You're thinking
about it when you're first learning to ride a bike. Man,
that is such a hard thing in life, because you're
going to fall. You know you're going.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
To fall, and you do.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
And then the first time you ride without training wheels
well anyway, So you know what muscle memory is. We've
established that, But apparently your brain has something like this too.
It's your own personal GPS. It's called path integration in
your mind. And what it means is you know how
in your home you could in the middle of the
night get up and it's dark, but you find your
(15:33):
way to the bathroom, just find or your closet or
whatever you need to do. That is your mind. It's
a function of your mind. It's like your own personal GPS.
Researchers say that your mind has gone into that You
have gone into that bathroom one hundred times, so you
have a mental map of it based on your movements
during the day in the light, so you can get
(15:54):
around without sight because of the mental muscle. Right, does
that makes sense?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It makes perfect sense. It doesn't explain why I still
kick the coffee table and things like that.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Though in the middle of the nines like that is
about three inches off.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yes, exactly, that's a misfire. It doesn't mean that it's
perfect every time this personal GPS, this path integration, but
it does make sense, it.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Makes perfect sense. Can this personal GPS help me find
my keys too? That's another one.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Put your keys in the same place in the house
and in the same place in your car, you wouldn't
lose them. But he does lose them in his car,
even like every time we're in the cars, where are
my keys?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Do men have a better mental map? Is that why
we refuse to ask for directions?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Well, I think we've established on my behalf mind's not
so good.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I have no idea about that, could not tell you.
I think it depends on the person in the brain.
It's another reason why you feel more vulnerable away from
home in a dark room.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
That makes sense. Well, you know what I have you
know learned about that? What you're talking about, Jody, is
the brain actually is designed to try to be really
efficient with its energy and so yeah, so once it's
learned something, it uses less energy to just repeat the process.
But that's why you know, the first time you're in
a new place, strange place you've never been before, driving
trying to find it's a.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Little bit more st right correct? And why you need
a little light on in the hotel room bathroom?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Oh yeah, we'll leave that at home too for me.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Jody's Hollywood outsider, Sam, you're a Star Wars nerd. Do
you know that George Lucas has ever starred in every
in any thing film or TV like his face or
his act? Has he ever done an act on one.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Of the big Star Wars movies? I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I could pick him out of a lineup, like I
know what he looks like.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
There are so many directors that have Spielberg's done it. Definitely.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
He always just love to put his mom Oh my god,
I love that, lady.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I wouldn't be surprised if I mean, because George Lucas
could get in you put on, nobody would know it's him.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
He might be in some of those right. Okay, So
George Lucas is set to make a voice acting appear
and Minions and Monsters the latest one coming. Okay. He
apparently loves the Minions. He loves grew you know, voiced
by Steve Carrell. He just he's a big fan and
he you know, word got around and they were like,
why don't we just they needed a they needed a
(18:15):
male voice for a certain character. Don't know what character exactly,
but he already recorded his parts. He was in Paris
and they did it. And he's going to be in
the new Minions and Monsters movie.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
As long as it's long enough, you should be able
to figure it out. Because he has a distinctive voice, right,
he has a real distinctive voice.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Kind of a nerd voice. To me, if you're putting
him in there, you've got to do some sort of
Star Wars joke with him.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Yeah, So look.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Something like that, Mom's dads, if you were a new
to parenting and there's all kinds of stuff coming home
that's artsy, you know, art on paper plates or macaroni art,
all these silly, little cute things. I hope you display
them proudly for your to see that you think their
artwork is a masterpiece. But the note here is keep it,
(19:06):
keep the pre k stuff. Murphy. I'm about to tell
the story of what Taylor came home and asked for
the other day, our oldest Taylor is in school to
become a licensed mental health counselor.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Right, she's in grad school.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
And she's in grad school. And they in one of
their classes that I think it's about counseling children, counseling adolescents.
They are supposed to bring something that's like an example,
this is something from my childhood. She will share it,
and then they'll talk about something from it, like how
would you counsel that. It's a whole lesson. And so
she came home and said, hey, Mom, can I go
(19:42):
through that big box of stuff that you got? And
that we do have a trunk in the family room
just full of their artwork. Now, Murphy did take the
tech route and scan a lot of it.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, some things, but I never I don't think we
threw away the most important ones, right. I mean, they're
just some things that like they were cute, but you
know that you don't necessarily I want to keep that
much paper exactly, and then the things. But I think
everything they came home from school with is something that
we cut.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
So in the trunk is all the best stuff that matters, right,
And so in that trunk she she started rifling through it.
I could hear her laughing and enjoying the memories. But
she came across a cookbook that she and her classmates
made together in preschool. And you can tell it's that
a teacher asked all of these kids one specific question
about what is your favorite thing to eat? You know,
(20:27):
who makes it for you and what are the ingredients
and how is it made? And I remember getting the
cookbook and on the cover they must have asked us
for a picture of me and Taylor, because it's me
and a picture of me and her when she was little.
It says her fish sticks. It's a cookbook and her
recipe is fish sticks. Ingredients, chicken and spice directions.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That's what makes fish sticks great, right, all the chicken directions.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
My mom cooks them in a really hot oven for
ten minutes. She cooks them every day, by Taylor. And
then there's a picture of the fish sticks every day. Yeah,
and she even was She's not far off there. She
went on to tell me, this is so beautiful because
this is what's in a child's mind, you know, of
what their mom does for them. And so anything like
(21:14):
that that comes home not just for you as a memory,
but for your kid to look at years later and
say this is who I was. Keep the preaching.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's got the double payoff.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Love having you along. Joined the conversation anytime eight seven
seven three one zero four MSJ. You can also email us,
which Jenny has done. Guys, Genny is a nurse. Hi,
love your show. Heard the story about your dog and
oxy codone. That's Sparky. That's our little little bitty dog
who has some heavy drugs.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Oh, that's right. When we were on vacation, she had
heard us talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
All right, right, that we have the good stuff for.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
He's got he's got the trachea that kind of you know,
collapsesas and all that good stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yet and the doctor, the vet described oxy codone for
this dog. I went all around town trying to find it.
It's not easy to find in liquid form. We got
it for him, and it's on a shelf. We haven't
really ever given it to him, but in case he
has the collapsing trichy of problems, we have it to use.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
They don't make doggye oxy coodone, right, that's regular.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I don't think I have no idea regular.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
He has those started to try to hit up a
bunch of pharmacies. It could be a problem here. We
got to watch out for dog scams.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I've heard sent this love your show, heard the story
about your dog and oxy codone. As a hospice nurse,
we use morphine and oxy codone to help with breathing.
It relaxes the airways some to help airflow in and
out more easily. It's a daily occurrence having to explain that,
understand that understanding to families since it's its main purpose
(22:48):
is for pain. But she's saying they explain it all
the time that it's for airflow and that's probably why
it was prescribed. Possibly the same for dogs why it
was prescribed. Please don't worry. Even if he doesn't feel
like he's in pain, it may help him breathing. Okay,
we have not had to use it.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Thank you for the clarification on that. It's interesting because
he kind of goes in and out of that. He
hasn't had any issues. He's not even been coughing lately.
Have you noticed that?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
But he hasn't been getting since a cigarettes. Thank you
for that, Jinny. I really love knowing this. It wasn't
explained so good that.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
I have a comment here from Tissia about micro weddings.
Oh yeah, and then she said, regarding micro weddings, my
sixty two year old husband has a saying the bigger
the wedding, the shorter the marriage.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Really well, micro weddings are in is why why she's
saying that.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
He loves to point this out When it happens to
be true, I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Gonna have to think about that because you know, I
guess I have known some big weddings.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Ended in divorce. Well, any wedding can in a divorce.
It doesn't mean that, you know, having a big wedding
means that.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
But I thought you were going to say, just look
at Sam.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
No, I'm going to say that to your.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Weddings did become progressively small, but with.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
The same alcoholic exactly. Tishaw Jenny, thank you joining the
conversation anytime. I love shopping for a man, and I
got to shop for my man Murphy the other day.
He took me. You don't like to shop without me,
which is cute.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, because I trust your eyes, I trust your judgment,
and you find things faster than I do.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I know where everything is.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, I mean I'm looking at it. It's like I
was looking for ten fifteen minutes. It's like, I don't
like that, don't like that. And then Jody walks over
with six things. All right, you're ready trainees on.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Well way, I'm not rushing you. We had somewhere to be.
We were going to visit your uncle.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Gone.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I didn't think you were rushing me. You just have
a knack for finding the good.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
You were looking for some basic, you know, pieces, and
you told me what you were looking for. I know
exactly where to go for that. Especially, I was looking
for certain.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Brands personal shopper.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I am like I and I when I see it,
I know whether he would rock it or and I
know what he has already, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
And I think that's probably where you're better at me
than that, because I spent a lot of time looking
at things I wish I could fit in and where
you know, it's like because for example, I mean, there
was an entire rack of something I'm like, wow, I
love this material, it feels great, but it was all
slim fit. Oh yeah, and so yeah, I looked at that,
and I'm looking for the other sections, like you know,
it's where's the generous fish, where's flattering fit?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
You know?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And I couldn't find those.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
It was the wind for me. Everything that we've brought
into the dressing room. When I had like six seven things,
six or seven things over my arm, he bought that's
what That's what he got and it was all on sale.
It was like clearance. Yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't intending
to only shot clearance for that.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, look, I like a deal. That's I mean, that's
because I don't go I'm like, I'm not an over
the top kind of fashion person, so when I'm shopping,
it's probably because I need to, you know, update or
do new thing. So yeah, I mean, I'm all good
with the clearance. Rock that's kind of like a fine.
That's almost like you're shrifting thing. You get a rush.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, you know it was a rush at shock Out.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
So why are we going to start seeing these things?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I know you didn't wear it today, any of your
stuff yet. Oh yeah, there's that one polo, the cream
and black polo. If you don't start wearing that, I'm
going to be rocking that. It just feels incredible. I'm like, God,
this shirt feels incredible.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I think Jody Buddett for her as much as we
know no.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
But the sales lady was like, yeah, that's that's one
I'd put on over leggings too.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Is it a soft netpolar or a PKNT.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
It's more of a flannel. It's a light flannel.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Was there anything that Murphy picked out that you were
like nah?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
No, Well one shirt that he loved the way it
felt and he wanted to take it in the dressing room.
It was actually sleep wear, and it's like, this is
for business. I don't want you to wear this.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I thought it was a little shiny room.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Social media connect Cody sent a message through Instagram messenger.
Hey guys, just wanted to share my find at the
thrift store.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
All right, Cody, we sure those.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Things all the time because we all, I mean, I
like to thrift a lot. He says. This is a
twinkie maker and it had never been used.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
A twinkie maker. I didn't even know they made twinkie
maker neither.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I've never heard of that a twinkie maker. Plan to
make twinkies, of course, but there are other things that
you can make with this. The combinations are endless. To
sell it to me, and he says, I will share
some creations when I make them. It means he hasn't
made anything.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Wait to see that.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Well, I'm really excited, he says.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I remember as a kid spending hours wondering how they
got the creams out of a Twinkie.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Hours.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Well, you know, because it didn't occur to me that
it's like, oh, they just punch holes in the bottom
of it. Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I have a bad association with Twinkies.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
And you know that why because you couldn't have chocolate. Correct,
That's the reason.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
That the family would go here, give her some twinkies
because she can't have ding dongs. And I just I
didn't want twinkies.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Oh I haven't let go of that, have you?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
And this makes me thank you for sending that to us, Cody.
What this makes me think of is that gift that
you gave our family one Christmas handful of years ago. Sam,
do you remember what you gave us? Yeah, Twinkie pan
And I was like, I had to mix with it too.
It had the mix to make the cake with all
but in the center. And I remember going thanks. I
(28:21):
got home. It was Christmas time, the kids had just
gotten out of school, and I said, Murphy, watch this,
and I said, look, what mister Sam gave us and
Taylor and people were like, oh my god. I was
present ever and we made it.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It was fantastic. But somebody didn't put it in the fridge.
Not you, That's not what I mean. Someone didn't put
it in the refrigerator and it went bad. Remember I
don't remember that. It's unlike twinkies that can live for
seven years. The real thing. This one has whatever dairy
in it, and so you have to refrigerate it after.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
It tastes like a twinkie.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It was closed, I mean it was. It was close enough.
It was, you know, a twinkie.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
It was probably better because it couldn't have sat on
the shelf for seven years.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
But I missed the fact that it couldn't sweat inside
the package the way a real twinkie does you know?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh yeah, anyway, yeah, you do not ever know what
you were going to see when thrifting. As Cody says,
I never used before twinkie mak.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah sure, I didn't know there was a Twinkie maker.
I remember the easy bagfven, I don't remember a twinky maker.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
All right, join the conversation anytime. You can also give
us a call. Eight seven seven three one zero four
ms J Jody's Hollywood Outsider. Apparently Amazon Studio is getting
one step closer for all of us for our next
James Bond. They're about to start the second round of auditions,
so they saw a lot of potential Bonds and then
(29:42):
they like, here are the ones we like, and they're
being very secretive about it. So it could be five
people they're bringing in or up to a dozen.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
What do you think they do? Do you think they
walk in and say, okay, give me the line Bond. No,
James Bond.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
I think that you're sent a portion of the script
and you have to act out. Have you never seen
the old auditions like float around? You have to act
out certain scenes and usually it's a hard, sort of emotional,
dramatic scene. So we do know that the next rounds
expected to take place in August, so you know, if
you've been called back, you've got that date. The actors
(30:16):
who are supposedly coming back Callum Turner. We know who
he is. He is the one who just he just
married Dualipa. Jacob A Lordie apparently is rumored to be
in consideration and look up Harrison Harris Dickinson. He's also
supposedly in consideration. But and then the point is to
have the next James Bond before the end of the year.
(30:37):
By the end of the year he should be named.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
So we can start shooting the movie next year.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
That would be really good. Also, yesterday we got a
new trailer for Practical Magic Too, Mom Stories where everyone
Who's sell in love Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Joey King,
and Macy Williams in this one. It's in theaters in September.
Check out the trailer. But no, it does give a
lot away social media connect I love hearing from you,
(31:03):
especially about this things you've thrifted for just a buck?
Are you kidding me? We brought this up as a
reminder that early February, late January, early February is a
great time to go thrifting because a lot of people
cleaned out at the end of the year and donated things,
and not just cleaned out, but donated gifts they received. Yeah,
(31:24):
and by this time, and by this time those things
have made it to the floor of these stores of
consignment stores and all of that. So Denise said this
sent this to our Facebook messenger. My sister bought a
Vera Bradley cross body bag for one dollar.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Oh I got.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I don't know if you guys understand what a deal
that is. Yeah, Sam, you seem to know about Actually
Murphy doesn't know.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
One of the exes was a Vera Bradley freak. Okay,
so I know exactly how much?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
All right, well say how much about?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
My guess? I don't have any Vera Bradley, But my
guess is that a cross body bag is eighty bucks easily.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah, okay, and Vera Bradley. It's like you have different
patterns and different years and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
So yeah, some of it's collectible. Yeah, so for one dollar,
I'm thinking, man, that's a steal. You could have someone
at the store could have priced that higher and didn't know.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Someone at the store could have just bought it themselves.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Here.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, you've never seen those videos online of these ladies
about to go thrifting and going Dear God, please let
it be a teenage boy working at this store who
doesn't know what Prada is, who's pricing all this stuff. Anyway.
Rebecca sent this regarding a thrift find. My daughter found
a brand new souvenir T shirt from Beijing with the
(32:44):
tags still on. We only paid a dollar for it.
She is autistic and loves all things from different places
around the world, so no telling what that was worth,
but they got it for one dollar.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
You know what's also probably a popular section right now.
It's probably loaded with stuff is the collegiate NFL sports
team section because during the season there are usually very
few things because everybody snatched them up. But right now,
if everybody's clearing out their jerseys and yeah
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Well or maybe you should wait one more week because
there'll be two other sets of jerseys, It's all right,
Murphy
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody Daily Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Most common things that dogs and cats swallow and the
vet bills that follow. I didn't mean to make it
sound like Doctor Seuss, but it's true.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Well it's a real thing. Huh.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
If your pet eats something they're not supposed to and
you realize it, you're on the way to the vet.
Murphy and I've been there when our little dog ate
a bunch of fudge and it was a how much
money did we spend that day?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Couple of hundred dollars, you know, I mean more than alive.
So you can't put a price on that sho.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
He had to have an ivy ivy fluids.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
And all that. He was dehydrated. It was it was bad.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It was our fault.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
That's why, you know. I mean, it's you can't feed
dogs chocolate.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Okay, So this is based on reports through a pet
insurance company. Here are the thousands of veterinary claims most
common and dangerous things that pets swallow. For dogs and
cats it's different. So for dogs the number one is
chocolate big because it's toxic to them. It's dangerous. They
can have candy or chocolate, they cannot Okay, they can't
(01:12):
do it. I mean, Sparky's lucky he is alive. We
know that cats the number one thing that gets them
in trouble is string. And I'm thinking, well, you're playing
with them with string. Isn't that a cliche?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
What?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Is it them swallowing it or getting tangled in it
or both, or.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
They're swallowing the string and then it's called linear foreign
body obstruction in the vet world, it's stuck somewhere in
the gi track of the cat, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Which is not very linear. Eventually it reaches its endpoint. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Sometimes the average cost of a string ingestion emergency is
twenty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Wow, not laughing anymore, are you?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It just seems like that's a difficult one to prevent,
the right. I mean, if they're getting in to something
that you don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Is stringing, Yeah, you can't leave string around.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Samy, you've ever had that problem with your cat?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Now, he eats grass, but he doesn't eat strings to
a more than twenty five hundred dollars, Bill, don't you
just wait it out?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I don't know if your cat is really sick, and
it could it could be toxic for them. I mean,
you have to make that assessment as a pet owner.
Second thing on the list for cats and dogs is
the same, and that's toys or toy parts.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Remember when our boxer ate a polypocket once, Murphy.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, that scared us. You got to treat your dogs
there the same way as like little You know, kids,
you don't want small parts. They're all choking hazards, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, well that worked. That worked itself out in the yard.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah. The good news is we were able to wash
it right off and put it back in the toy bote.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
The kids didn't even know.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
We did not. When you buy a home, is everything
in the home yours? Murphy. I know you're going to
know what to say here. The word is there's a
purchase agreement, and it's supposed to specify. Yes, you can
keep these window treatments because they were custom made, but
you have to specify all of that. Correct.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Anything that's immovable you have to specify if it's going
to you know, remain with the house sale. And anything
that's an immovable meaning that physically attached to the wall
is considered part of the sale. So you also have
to if you're going to take your brackets with you,
then you need to explain that you're taking It needs
to be part of the purchase agreement.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
And yeah, this sort of thing happens every day in
the world of transfer of ownership of homes and property.
Because like, wait, I didn't know this was not we
had that happen. Remember, I want to say, we bought
the house we live in now didn't have a mailbox,
and we thought, we assumed that he was supposed to
put a mailbox up, and he didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Well, but he didn't take his mailbox. It just wasn't
the mailbox right, not the same Did he get mail? No,
I don't know he.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I don't know. Anyway, I bring this back up because
it's such an interesting little thing that happens every day,
and touched on it in one of the three Things
to Know yesterday, there's this couple outside of Chicago that
bought a house. They're about to get married, and in
the attic upstairs, they didn't even know that this attic
space existed. They found this boxed up beautiful wedding gown.
(04:16):
This couple's about to get married. They cannot find the owners.
They can't the previous owners, they can't get in touch
with them, and they want to use She wants to
use the gown, and it's like, I think the gown
is hers, don't you now?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Finders keepers?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, buyers keepers, they buy, they bought the house.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, but well that's a really good question. You know
they're doing the right thing by trying to find the owners. Yeah,
because most people would want to do that. It's like, hey,
this doesn't belong to me, it belongs to you. It's
a dress, you know, it's not like it's a mirror
on the wall.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Well, I will say this too. I started looking it
up to dig more into the story, and there's a
bunch of stories like this that it's a big, boxed
up old wedding gown. Because guess what when a woman
has one of those really elaborate wedding gowns that you
know the parents bought, and then you want to preserve it,
you wear it one day and you want to preserve it,
you have to put it in a one of those
(05:08):
boxes it's made to keep, and you forget about that
and life goes on and you accidentally leave it. It's just
one of those It happened. The wedding gown thing and
addicts happens.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So this is not really a museum piece like from
the Victorian age or something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I think like the nineties. So it's still a beautiful dress.
Trending now Jody's Hollywood Outsider. So the long awaited biopick
starring Julia Garner about Madonna, Madonna's biopic has been canceled
(05:43):
after a falling out with Universal Studios and Madonna, of course,
over the film's budget. This is so upsetting to me
because this is the biopic I want. When you think
about the Michael Jackson one and how much it took
you back there, how real it seemed, and I want
this one.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I think one would have been special because she was
heavily involved in it. She was writing it, wanted to
direct it and all that. So we're going to get
it right from the horse's.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Mouth, She says. She's had to explain to them that
this film needed a big budget. It was an extraordinary
life and they couldn't get their heads around it at
the scale of the project. They even proposed that she
go to like Serbia for a lower cost production. And
then and she she said, I'll do it, and they said, no,
you're not going to stay there for even more than
(06:33):
four days, and she said, have you have you read
the script? My whole life is about survival. I can
do anything, and I won't be there for holiday anyway,
it collapsed and then they talked about it being a
Netflix series. I remember that, and that has fallen through
as well. So she says, you know, it's a good thing.
I have another job music because I need to work.
I need to create, which means this movie is not happening.
(06:55):
Oh wow, makes me so sad because it's the biopic.
I really want to see eight seven seven three one
zero four ms j.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Hi Casey, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I was just calling him to tell you. My dog
a Doberman and he's the sweetest thing, but he's not
real smart. He's a pair of underwear and both times
had to go in and have surgery because they would
get caught in him. He had to have it done
twice now and like within a four month span. And
(07:30):
then he ate a towel and had to have surgery
to have that taken out.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, what do you even do when you've got this
kind of dog? I don't know, You're gonna have to
your medical bills and he's eating your stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yes, we joke that we've spent more on him than
we have on our kids in the last year on
medical bills.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, that is a tough spot to be in with
a pet.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Sounds like he likes to taste of cotton.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I think he should does the vague so nice?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
To save everything?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Is there anything way he saved it?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It's through what do you do with it?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I just wondered if you washed it and put it
back in circulation.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Tell our daughters that because they were herds, that that
was her car, her first car about you know, hey,
you know this costs as much as a car. So
there you go.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
That's she'll resent the dog, is what it sounds like?
Was that? What does your does your vet give you
any advice on how to keep him from doing this?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, he told us just to keep an eye on
him constantly, But I mean that's not very realistic.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And we try, but keeps the laundry off the floor.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
H Yes, we keep laundry off the floor, all the
doors closed all the time, and somehow he manages to
find things. He's found a dishpeal that was you know,
up on the counter because he's dig so he reach it.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Who can know what is going on in the dog's
mind when they do this. I cannot understand. What's his name,
the cotton eater?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
His name is the thank you Casey. You know, Jody
and I've only had one dog that was really over
the top. It was our first dog, Chevy, who would
do that. He was tall. He would reach for things,
you know that he would want ump on a table
or so. It made it very difficult to keep an
eye on him all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Like he ended up eating all kinds of things over
his lifetime. He ate soap, He had a whole corn
on the cob he did.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
We never found that one, sad, never really knew what.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Happened to yet, Thank you Casey joined the convo. Anytime
we have to do a employee self assessment, and this
is the second one I've ever done in my life,
which is fine. And I wanted to ask Murphy, our manager, manager,
(09:43):
Murphy number one, what do you think of these and
do you have to do them too?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, of course I have to do them. Okay, I
thought you were going to ask me how you can
game the system?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
No, well, while you're at it, why not sure?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
By the way, the first time we did it, I
think it was last year, found it a thoughtful exercise.
I mean, it really made me think about my answers.
It really made me think about my role and what
I contribute and what my weaknesses are, because I really
fully believe that we all have strengths and weaknesses and
we need to lean into the strengths.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, you know what I like about them, what I
like about them for you know, for me personally. And
I guess you know from from a business is you're
you're focusing on like performance and results. It's not subjective,
you know what I mean, It's not you know, opinions.
It takes to and for one thing in a busy world.
It also really gives important feedback to somebody who's working
(10:38):
very hard every day who may not hear you know, hey,
you're doing this, you know extremely well, congrats a great
job or whatever, or you know, some sort of constructive
feedback on how to improve in an area. And I
think sometimes when it's written like that, it also gives
the employee and the freedom to be honest about something
that they may have trouble saying. In person that do
you help with.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
So my huge question though, is you're in management. You
get the self assessments and you read them and you
see them. How do you not get a ten out
of ten for every answer? Because people genuinely think and
feel that they're doing the best of anybody, is it not?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
For me?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
What I see?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I see two different things. I see people who undersell
themselves because they're naturally very humble and they're afraid to,
you know, over assert, So they're not going to say
that they do something at a five, or you know,
if it's a scale of one to five with five
being the best, they may not. They may do all fours.
And then you do have some people that you know,
you know, that have a concern that if I don't
(11:38):
you know, if I don't put all fives, then then
what's going to happen to me?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
It's all I think.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
It's like anything else, you have to have the leader
whoever's in charge of it, actually explain, Look, you know,
this is this is an honest, open assessment. There's no
wrong answer it, you know, is what it is. And
this is not the kind of thing that's going to
get you fired at the end of the day, right,
that's not what it's I guess unless you're a pre
out of all ones, it's just strength. I'm pretty much
the worst of everything I do. I'm gonna lose there,
(12:06):
but I'm still here.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
It's to strengthen the relationship and the communication. What is
the employee thinking and feeling and how, And it's a
good chance for the employee to say this is what
I do, raise my hand. Chances are you have a
revenge bedtime at least a few nights a week, especially
if you are a parent, and you don't even realize it.
Murphy doesn't get the term revenge bedtime.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
So what does that mean.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
It's a term I've seen it in a million times,
and it's so funny that the first time I read it,
I knew it meant revenge again, revenge bedtime, procrastination, revenge
against life taking all your me time. You don't have
me time anymore when you're in the thick of it
in life. You have work and family and a home
to run, and you have kids.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
So how does revenge bedtime actually work?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You stay up later than you actually your body is
actually telling you like you could go to bed. You
know that you need more sleep, and you know about
the bedtime routine and all that, and it would be
good to get a good night's sleep, but all that
stuff that calls you is finally done for the day,
and you take a little me time at night to doom, scroll,
to binge a show, to read, a novel, you know whatever.
(13:15):
So it's me time, sneak.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I haven't had any time today. I need to go
to bed, but you know what, I'm staying up anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, we do it. And what's so funny to me
is I think it's a beautiful form of self care.
You just don't realize that that's what you're doing. We've
all done it. I bet you. If you're hearing about
this for the first time, here, you do it. You're
not in going oh I do that, I doom scroll
or I shop online.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Putting yourself in your own little capsule for a little while.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
It is And you know what, I think the reason
it's the thing is because we need it. We all
need to pay a little attention to ourselves every day,
in whatever form that takes. You know what I mean, Murphy.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I got your reset time too.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I mean it is they say that Americans, they've done
some studies and like real honest surveys, and you know,
Americans will stay up another hour for their own little
me time. Ninety something percent of adults do this. They
know it's bad for their sleep, they know they're going
to pay for it in the morning, but they still
need it.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, I understand that. You know, it's I've noticed when
the house gets quiet and the lights are out and
it's just about bedtime, when the dog's already bed to bed,
there's a peace about it, right, and you're like, this
is peaceful. I need to stay a week for this.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
For a little while.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I think it's also the fact that every person, no
matter age, no matter where you are in life, you
need to feel like you have the choice at least
once a day to do what you want to do.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, everybody else calling you, that makes perfect sense.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Okay, so it's called revenge bedtime de frastination, And I
mean I think we all have it.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Yeah, oh I do it.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Morning pick me up time. So we all know what
muscle memory is, right, the things.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That you can do automatically kind of like you know,
you when you learn to drive a car, it's like
stressful because you're paying attention to pedal and everything, and
then it becomes natural.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Right, Riding a bike is muscle memory too. You're thinking
about it when you're first learning to ride a bike. Man,
that is such a hard thing in life, because you're
going to fall. You know you're going.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
To fall, and you do.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
And then the first time you ride without training wheels
well anyway, So you know what muscle memory is. We've
established that, But apparently your brain has something like this too.
It's your own personal GPS. It's called path integration in
your mind. And what it means is you know how
in your home you could in the middle of the
night get up and it's dark, but you find your
(15:33):
way to the bathroom, just find or your closet or
whatever you need to do. That is your mind. It's
a function of your mind. It's like your own personal GPS.
Researchers say that your mind has gone into that You
have gone into that bathroom one hundred times, so you
have a mental map of it based on your movements
during the day in the light, so you can get
(15:54):
around without sight because of the mental muscle. Right, does
that makes sense?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It makes perfect sense. It doesn't explain why I still
kick the coffee table and things like that.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Though in the middle of the nines like that is
about three inches off.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yes, exactly, that's a misfire. It doesn't mean that it's
perfect every time this personal GPS, this path integration, but
it does make sense, it.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Makes perfect sense. Can this personal GPS help me find
my keys too? That's another one.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Put your keys in the same place in the house
and in the same place in your car, you wouldn't
lose them. But he does lose them in his car,
even like every time we're in the cars, where are
my keys?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Do men have a better mental map? Is that why
we refuse to ask for directions?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Well, I think we've established on my behalf mind's not
so good.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I have no idea about that, could not tell you.
I think it depends on the person in the brain.
It's another reason why you feel more vulnerable away from
home in a dark room.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
That makes sense. Well, you know what I have you
know learned about that? What you're talking about, Jody, is
the brain actually is designed to try to be really
efficient with its energy and so yeah, so once it's
learned something, it uses less energy to just repeat the process.
But that's why you know, the first time you're in
a new place, strange place you've never been before, driving
trying to find it's a.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Little bit more st right correct? And why you need
a little light on in the hotel room bathroom?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Oh yeah, we'll leave that at home too for me.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Jody's Hollywood outsider, Sam, you're a Star Wars nerd. Do
you know that George Lucas has ever starred in every
in any thing film or TV like his face or
his act? Has he ever done an act on one.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Of the big Star Wars movies? I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I could pick him out of a lineup, like I
know what he looks like.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
There are so many directors that have Spielberg's done it. Definitely.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
He always just love to put his mom Oh my god,
I love that, lady.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I wouldn't be surprised if I mean, because George Lucas
could get in you put on, nobody would know it's him.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
He might be in some of those right. Okay, So
George Lucas is set to make a voice acting appear
and Minions and Monsters the latest one coming. Okay. He
apparently loves the Minions. He loves grew you know, voiced
by Steve Carrell. He just he's a big fan and
he you know, word got around and they were like,
why don't we just they needed a they needed a
(18:15):
male voice for a certain character. Don't know what character exactly,
but he already recorded his parts. He was in Paris
and they did it. And he's going to be in
the new Minions and Monsters movie.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
As long as it's long enough, you should be able
to figure it out. Because he has a distinctive voice, right,
he has a real distinctive voice.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Kind of a nerd voice. To me, if you're putting
him in there, you've got to do some sort of
Star Wars joke with him.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Yeah, So look.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Something like that, Mom's dads, if you were a new
to parenting and there's all kinds of stuff coming home
that's artsy, you know, art on paper plates or macaroni art,
all these silly, little cute things. I hope you display
them proudly for your to see that you think their
artwork is a masterpiece. But the note here is keep it,
(19:06):
keep the pre k stuff. Murphy. I'm about to tell
the story of what Taylor came home and asked for
the other day, our oldest Taylor is in school to
become a licensed mental health counselor.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Right, she's in grad school.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
And she's in grad school. And they in one of
their classes that I think it's about counseling children, counseling adolescents.
They are supposed to bring something that's like an example,
this is something from my childhood. She will share it,
and then they'll talk about something from it, like how
would you counsel that. It's a whole lesson. And so
she came home and said, hey, Mom, can I go
(19:42):
through that big box of stuff that you got? And
that we do have a trunk in the family room
just full of their artwork. Now, Murphy did take the
tech route and scan a lot of it.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, some things, but I never I don't think we
threw away the most important ones, right. I mean, they're
just some things that like they were cute, but you
know that you don't necessarily I want to keep that
much paper exactly, and then the things. But I think
everything they came home from school with is something that
we cut.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
So in the trunk is all the best stuff that matters, right,
And so in that trunk she she started rifling through it.
I could hear her laughing and enjoying the memories. But
she came across a cookbook that she and her classmates
made together in preschool. And you can tell it's that
a teacher asked all of these kids one specific question
about what is your favorite thing to eat? You know,
(20:27):
who makes it for you and what are the ingredients
and how is it made? And I remember getting the
cookbook and on the cover they must have asked us
for a picture of me and Taylor, because it's me
and a picture of me and her when she was little.
It says her fish sticks. It's a cookbook and her
recipe is fish sticks. Ingredients, chicken and spice directions.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That's what makes fish sticks great, right, all the chicken directions.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
My mom cooks them in a really hot oven for
ten minutes. She cooks them every day, by Taylor. And
then there's a picture of the fish sticks every day. Yeah,
and she even was She's not far off there. She
went on to tell me, this is so beautiful because
this is what's in a child's mind, you know, of
what their mom does for them. And so anything like
(21:14):
that that comes home not just for you as a memory,
but for your kid to look at years later and
say this is who I was. Keep the preaching.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's got the double payoff.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Love having you along. Joined the conversation anytime eight seven
seven three one zero four MSJ. You can also email us,
which Jenny has done. Guys, Genny is a nurse. Hi,
love your show. Heard the story about your dog and
oxy codone. That's Sparky. That's our little little bitty dog
who has some heavy drugs.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Oh, that's right. When we were on vacation, she had
heard us talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
All right, right, that we have the good stuff for.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
He's got he's got the trachea that kind of you know,
collapsesas and all that good stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yet and the doctor, the vet described oxy codone for
this dog. I went all around town trying to find it.
It's not easy to find in liquid form. We got
it for him, and it's on a shelf. We haven't
really ever given it to him, but in case he
has the collapsing trichy of problems, we have it to use.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
They don't make doggye oxy coodone, right, that's regular.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I don't think I have no idea regular.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
He has those started to try to hit up a
bunch of pharmacies. It could be a problem here. We
got to watch out for dog scams.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I've heard sent this love your show, heard the story
about your dog and oxy codone. As a hospice nurse,
we use morphine and oxy codone to help with breathing.
It relaxes the airways some to help airflow in and
out more easily. It's a daily occurrence having to explain that,
understand that understanding to families since it's its main purpose
(22:48):
is for pain. But she's saying they explain it all
the time that it's for airflow and that's probably why
it was prescribed. Possibly the same for dogs why it
was prescribed. Please don't worry. Even if he doesn't feel
like he's in pain, it may help him breathing. Okay,
we have not had to use it.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Thank you for the clarification on that. It's interesting because
he kind of goes in and out of that. He
hasn't had any issues. He's not even been coughing lately.
Have you noticed that?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
But he hasn't been getting since a cigarettes. Thank you
for that, Jinny. I really love knowing this. It wasn't
explained so good that.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
I have a comment here from Tissia about micro weddings.
Oh yeah, and then she said, regarding micro weddings, my
sixty two year old husband has a saying the bigger
the wedding, the shorter the marriage.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Really well, micro weddings are in is why why she's
saying that.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
He loves to point this out When it happens to
be true, I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Gonna have to think about that because you know, I
guess I have known some big weddings.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Ended in divorce. Well, any wedding can in a divorce.
It doesn't mean that, you know, having a big wedding
means that.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
But I thought you were going to say, just look
at Sam.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
No, I'm going to say that to your.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Weddings did become progressively small, but with.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
The same alcoholic exactly. Tishaw Jenny, thank you joining the
conversation anytime. I love shopping for a man, and I
got to shop for my man Murphy the other day.
He took me. You don't like to shop without me,
which is cute.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, because I trust your eyes, I trust your judgment,
and you find things faster than I do.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I know where everything is.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, I mean I'm looking at it. It's like I
was looking for ten fifteen minutes. It's like, I don't
like that, don't like that. And then Jody walks over
with six things. All right, you're ready trainees on.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Well way, I'm not rushing you. We had somewhere to be.
We were going to visit your uncle.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Gone.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I didn't think you were rushing me. You just have
a knack for finding the good.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
You were looking for some basic, you know, pieces, and
you told me what you were looking for. I know
exactly where to go for that. Especially, I was looking
for certain.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Brands personal shopper.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I am like I and I when I see it,
I know whether he would rock it or and I
know what he has already, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
And I think that's probably where you're better at me
than that, because I spent a lot of time looking
at things I wish I could fit in and where
you know, it's like because for example, I mean, there
was an entire rack of something I'm like, wow, I
love this material, it feels great, but it was all
slim fit. Oh yeah, and so yeah, I looked at that,
and I'm looking for the other sections, like you know,
it's where's the generous fish, where's flattering fit?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
You know?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And I couldn't find those.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
It was the wind for me. Everything that we've brought
into the dressing room. When I had like six seven things,
six or seven things over my arm, he bought that's
what That's what he got and it was all on sale.
It was like clearance. Yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't intending
to only shot clearance for that.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, look, I like a deal. That's I mean, that's
because I don't go I'm like, I'm not an over
the top kind of fashion person, so when I'm shopping,
it's probably because I need to, you know, update or
do new thing. So yeah, I mean, I'm all good
with the clearance. Rock that's kind of like a fine.
That's almost like you're shrifting thing. You get a rush.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, you know it was a rush at shock Out.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
So why are we going to start seeing these things?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I know you didn't wear it today, any of your
stuff yet. Oh yeah, there's that one polo, the cream
and black polo. If you don't start wearing that, I'm
going to be rocking that. It just feels incredible. I'm like, God,
this shirt feels incredible.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I think Jody Buddett for her as much as we
know no.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
But the sales lady was like, yeah, that's that's one
I'd put on over leggings too.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Is it a soft netpolar or a PKNT.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
It's more of a flannel. It's a light flannel.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Was there anything that Murphy picked out that you were
like nah?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
No, Well one shirt that he loved the way it
felt and he wanted to take it in the dressing room.
It was actually sleep wear, and it's like, this is
for business. I don't want you to wear this.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I thought it was a little shiny room.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Social media connect Cody sent a message through Instagram messenger.
Hey guys, just wanted to share my find at the
thrift store.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
All right, Cody, we sure those.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Things all the time because we all, I mean, I
like to thrift a lot. He says. This is a
twinkie maker and it had never been used.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
A twinkie maker. I didn't even know they made twinkie
maker neither.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I've never heard of that a twinkie maker. Plan to
make twinkies, of course, but there are other things that
you can make with this. The combinations are endless. To
sell it to me, and he says, I will share
some creations when I make them. It means he hasn't
made anything.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Wait to see that.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Well, I'm really excited, he says.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I remember as a kid spending hours wondering how they
got the creams out of a Twinkie.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Hours.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Well, you know, because it didn't occur to me that
it's like, oh, they just punch holes in the bottom
of it. Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I have a bad association with Twinkies.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
And you know that why because you couldn't have chocolate. Correct,
That's the reason.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
That the family would go here, give her some twinkies
because she can't have ding dongs. And I just I
didn't want twinkies.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Oh I haven't let go of that, have you?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
And this makes me thank you for sending that to us, Cody.
What this makes me think of is that gift that
you gave our family one Christmas handful of years ago. Sam,
do you remember what you gave us? Yeah, Twinkie pan
And I was like, I had to mix with it too.
It had the mix to make the cake with all
but in the center. And I remember going thanks. I
(28:21):
got home. It was Christmas time, the kids had just
gotten out of school, and I said, Murphy, watch this,
and I said, look, what mister Sam gave us and
Taylor and people were like, oh my god. I was
present ever and we made it.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It was fantastic. But somebody didn't put it in the fridge.
Not you, That's not what I mean. Someone didn't put
it in the refrigerator and it went bad. Remember I
don't remember that. It's unlike twinkies that can live for
seven years. The real thing. This one has whatever dairy
in it, and so you have to refrigerate it after.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
It tastes like a twinkie.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It was closed, I mean it was. It was close enough.
It was, you know, a twinkie.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
It was probably better because it couldn't have sat on
the shelf for seven years.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
But I missed the fact that it couldn't sweat inside
the package the way a real twinkie does you know?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh yeah, anyway, yeah, you do not ever know what
you were going to see when thrifting. As Cody says,
I never used before twinkie mak.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah sure, I didn't know there was a Twinkie maker.
I remember the easy bagfven, I don't remember a twinky maker.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
All right, join the conversation anytime. You can also give
us a call. Eight seven seven three one zero four
ms J Jody's Hollywood Outsider. Apparently Amazon Studio is getting
one step closer for all of us for our next
James Bond. They're about to start the second round of auditions,
so they saw a lot of potential Bonds and then
(29:42):
they like, here are the ones we like, and they're
being very secretive about it. So it could be five
people they're bringing in or up to a dozen.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
What do you think they do? Do you think they
walk in and say, okay, give me the line Bond. No,
James Bond.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
I think that you're sent a portion of the script
and you have to act out. Have you never seen
the old auditions like float around? You have to act
out certain scenes and usually it's a hard, sort of emotional,
dramatic scene. So we do know that the next rounds
expected to take place in August, so you know, if
you've been called back, you've got that date. The actors
(30:16):
who are supposedly coming back Callum Turner. We know who
he is. He is the one who just he just
married Dualipa. Jacob A Lordie apparently is rumored to be
in consideration and look up Harrison Harris Dickinson. He's also
supposedly in consideration. But and then the point is to
have the next James Bond before the end of the year.
(30:37):
By the end of the year he should be named.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
So we can start shooting the movie next year.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
That would be really good. Also, yesterday we got a
new trailer for Practical Magic Too, Mom Stories where everyone
Who's sell in love Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Joey King,
and Macy Williams in this one. It's in theaters in September.
Check out the trailer. But no, it does give a
lot away social media connect I love hearing from you,
(31:03):
especially about this things you've thrifted for just a buck?
Are you kidding me? We brought this up as a
reminder that early February, late January, early February is a
great time to go thrifting because a lot of people
cleaned out at the end of the year and donated things,
and not just cleaned out, but donated gifts they received. Yeah,
(31:24):
and by this time, and by this time those things
have made it to the floor of these stores of
consignment stores and all of that. So Denise said this
sent this to our Facebook messenger. My sister bought a
Vera Bradley cross body bag for one dollar.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Oh I got.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I don't know if you guys understand what a deal
that is. Yeah, Sam, you seem to know about Actually
Murphy doesn't know.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
One of the exes was a Vera Bradley freak. Okay,
so I know exactly how much?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
All right, well say how much about?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
My guess? I don't have any Vera Bradley, But my
guess is that a cross body bag is eighty bucks easily.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah, okay, and Vera Bradley. It's like you have different
patterns and different years and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
So yeah, some of it's collectible. Yeah, so for one dollar,
I'm thinking, man, that's a steal. You could have someone
at the store could have priced that higher and didn't know.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Someone at the store could have just bought it themselves.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Here.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, you've never seen those videos online of these ladies
about to go thrifting and going Dear God, please let
it be a teenage boy working at this store who
doesn't know what Prada is, who's pricing all this stuff. Anyway.
Rebecca sent this regarding a thrift find. My daughter found
a brand new souvenir T shirt from Beijing with the
(32:44):
tags still on. We only paid a dollar for it.
She is autistic and loves all things from different places
around the world, so no telling what that was worth,
but they got it for one dollar.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
You know what's also probably a popular section right now.
It's probably loaded with stuff is the collegiate NFL sports
team section because during the season there are usually very
few things because everybody snatched them up. But right now,
if everybody's clearing out their jerseys and yeah
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Well or maybe you should wait one more week because
there'll be two other sets of jerseys, It's all right,
Murphy
