Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choty Weekend Show podcast, highlighting
some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
How to avoid a Facebook marketplace scam.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Don't use Facebook market Place. Yeah, I knew Murphy.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Was going to say that it's not his favorite. Look,
We've had some not great situations. You put something up there,
let's just say a dresser, you put a picture of it,
and you put yeah, and then you start getting all
these crazy people who don't really exist, going where are you?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
What's your phone numbers box? That are hitting you up?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yes, by the way, though it's not going anywhere. About
a billion people a month's shop on Facebook market sure.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I mean, look, I get it. It's a convenient thing
if it's too expensive to ship and you really wanted
to sell and somebody can pick it up locally, I
mean why not. Yes, you just have to do your
due diligence.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I've seen sites where you're shopping for consignment type things
like let's just say I dress and then I've seen
the same dress on Facebook Marketplace and it is for
certain the same person, So like, oh you're local. Okay, anyway,
didn't you buy your ounie?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Man on Facebook marketplace and you went and picked it.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Up an hour, but it was worth it for the deal.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Good.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay, that's great, and then that's up to you. Number
one is meet locally in person at a place, public place,
public place, like not in your driveway, not in their driveway,
you know, not in homes. Do it. And you can
do it at a police station, public parking lots, things
like that. That's where you agree to meet where you
(01:32):
know there's surveillance. That's because you're dealing with strangers. Payment
methods for a local they do say they recommend cash
in person, recommend cash or PayPal or Facebook pay which
you can reverse and you have buyer protection. Don't necessarily
recommend like Venmo and zel because that's harder to reverse
if you got scammed. Okay, check the profile of the seller.
(01:54):
Is it a new profile? Do they have any friends?
You know? That's a that's another red flag.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
My thing is this and we don't. I don't do
it a lot because the whole Murphy's like, does this
person do we have any common friends? I'm smart, keep
communication in messenger as part of as part of it,
if you ever have If you're getting scammed.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, don't don't give your phone number, don't do the
texting thing.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, and it's the two of the things. To quickly
look out for. The overpayment scam where they want to
pay you more than you're even asking and they're pressuring
you to do something quickly. Back away from that. That's
a scam.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
So, Jody, you and I still have the the terrarium
set up from our beard to dragons drump no longer alive,
and that's the one you were going to sell them.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Every time I put it up there, I get the
I'm coming today, I'm coming to get it now, and
it's I feel the pressure and I just can't. So
we're gonna stick with it. Join us anytime, love having
you along. You can do it on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok,
and even email us at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Connie said as a message showedy for you, she says,
if you don't mind what model a vibration plate did
you get? I assume she's asking, because you know, we
told the story of me kicking it in the middle
of the night in the dark the other.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I didn't mean to leave it out. I've scooched it
way back against the wall after using it, since.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
She says her physical therapist wants her to get one
to improve her lymphatic drainage. Oh yeah, since my breast
cancer surgery. I have issues with lymp edema. Thank you, so.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Important lymphatic drainage so that everything goes in your body
where it's supposed to go and with inflammation. And I
hear that they're really good for that, so yay. The
one that I bought. The brand is I hope I
say it right, Marac Marac, maroc mer ah mer Ach Okay,
(03:47):
but I literally just picked it as like a mid
level you know. I didn't know what I was doing
when I chose that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, it wasn't an Amazon bestseller.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It might have had some good ratings. That's the one though,
So good luck with it. Do it and get on
it every day. It feels fantastic.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Jody uses hers every day. She tries to talk when
she's doing it too, right.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Okay, this is for you, Sam to Murphy saman Jody
dot com, mister Sam, this is from TJ. My heart
goes out to you, brother. This is about when you
were talking about your dog Gus. Oh yeah, and the
day that you knew it was his time. Losing a
close pet is close to losing a child almost. I
could tell that was hard on you when you spoke
(04:32):
about it just before Halloween. This past year, we lost
a cat that we'd had since she was born. She
was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Lord, that's a long life.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I still watch for her involuntarily when I back out
to leave for work. I still watch for her when
I opened the side door. I used to worry out
accidentally sweep her off of the poor she was far
too old to take a bump like that like that.
Anyhow much love to you and all of you. To
m Jay, I'm sure Gus is missed, God blessed.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yes, thank you very much, TJ. I appreciate that. Yeah,
and a similar situation. The first couple of weeks after
Gus was gone, I kept looking for him or thinking
I would see him around the right.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Because they're a part of your day to day life.
They're a part of your family. Of course you look
for it.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You're used to it.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We did an after the show podcast the other day
about your diabetes murphy when you were diagnosed twenty seven
years ago, what it's been like, all the misconceptions, Type
one yeah, type one diabout it juvenile diabetes. Well they
used to call it, they used to Yeah, now it's
type one because it's not just kids.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, not just because of the way you behave.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Anyway, based on that podcast, you have a message from
You have several messages, but this is one I want
to read to you. Hello. My name is Bella. I
am the eighteen year old college girl that my mom
Laurie messaged you all about asking you to tell your
tie one diabetic story.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Well, hi, Bella.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Your podcast meant so much and explained my emotions and
experiences to a t. Diabetics are often misunderstood and most
people don't understand the full extent of what diabetes entails.
It's so good to hear people with a great platform
talk about it. I cannot thank you enough. Mom, and
I are still learning and I have a long way
(06:22):
to go. I wish you all the best with your journey.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, thank you, Bella. That's really sweet. You know, you
have to understand it's really important to me, especially when
I meet somebody who honestly had the same situation I did,
where you go through part of your life and then
it's like your early adulthood and it changes for you
and she's in college.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
That's what the podcast was, a change everything.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You know, it just I naturally gravitate towards wanting to
support and help that person. So it's nice to meet you, Bella.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It's something that splits your life. Bella, before you were
diagnosed and now Ye. Laurie, Bella's mom also sent We
listened to the podcast with tears streaming down our faces.
Thank you so much. That made me and Bella feel better.
My husband liked it too. Bella has handled this with
such maturity. I'm amazed by her, and hearing you speak
about it gave her even more confidence.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Okay, well I'm happy to hear that. Wow, that makes
me feel good.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah. So that was an after the show podcast. What yesterday?
I want to say it two days ago?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And you know, so if you know somebody with type
one diabetes or whatever, that's where we go into depth. There,
the kind of depth that we don't go into here
on the show, and.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It needs to be because it's it's hard to understand
what's going on in the body and what you're having
to do for yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And it's so different than type two, which is what
most of the diabetic population. You know is.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Jessica sent this. I know this all too well. I
was just in the hospital last week with my six
year old with Type one. It's frustrating, it is scary.
This is and she's sent a picture. This is the
bag of meds I had to pick up for her today.
She sent that to us.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And at that age, I mean, you're talking about a
totally different level because you're having to help your child
learn and manage that. At the same time, you.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Are having to be, yep, a different kind of parent
than you thought you were going to have to be.
Keep it coming. We love having you along.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I want to set the scene for you here. It's
two am at my house. It's dark in the entire house,
obviously because I was asleep.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Sam.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I walk into the bathroom and there's a large dark
object in the middle of the floor. Accident, That's what
I'm thinking. Okay, flip the light on before I step
in it. I turn on the light and it is
the largest frog I have ever seen. I'm talking Murphy,
I'm talking the size of my hand. WHOA are you
(08:38):
a monster frog?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Get in the house?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Let him in.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I don't know. I am still trying to figure that
out because Okay, first of all, there was sheer panic
because I jumped back out of the room because it's
like a big frog, which means big frogs can jump
further around me.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Okay, if they can jump further.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I went and got the biggest rubber maid I had
and put it over him, you know, slid the lid
under him, took him outside, took the lid off, and
let him go bouncing off into the yard.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Nice release.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
But yeah, that's the that's the new thing. It's like,
where did he come from? Do you have a doggy door? No,
I know, I have just doors. I do leave the
back door open. No no, no, no no no, not overnight,
just like sometime in the afternoon. I'll leave it over
a lot of cats there so he can go in
and out.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Probably it was either that or he snuck in through
the toilet, believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I actually did think the toilet. It's like, that's how
snakes get in.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Looking in the toilet. It's not going to help you
because he's not. He didn't leave. You know a sign.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
My bathroom is you know, a good one hundred feet
or whatever from where the back door is. So that
means he knocked around, I wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Chopped around. We all had that sort of experience. I mean,
you've all, we've all encountered a frog. Especially you never
toyed with the idea of touching him yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It's like I've seen too many horror movies. It's like
it's a poisonous frog. He's got teeth, or he's going
to do something to me.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, they're hard, cat.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
This would make a lot more sense if we were
still drinking, but you don't. But you know, I've never
had a frog that big in the house. And I've
had the lead a bitty tiny ones that kind of
surface and cat.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I've seen those two and I think, Okay, I can
attribute that to getting in a window or a door
or something, but not this monster.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, well you're okay, you survived it.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
You want me to post a picture on Facebook?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Sure, okay, And don't leave your door open. Today is
the other.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Thing Jody's Top five entertainment stories of the week.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Number five. The Academy Awards coming up on Sunday on ABC,
hosted by Conan O'Brien again. You can watch it on
ABC and it will stream on Hulu. It's usually like
three or you know, plus hours. Know that some big
presenters announced. We know that Nicole Kimmon will be there,
Jimmy Kimmel, Channing Tatum and the big movies to look
(11:01):
out for while Sinners is one and then one battle
after another. Number four Nicole Kidman this week spoke about
her divorce from Keith Urban. Now, it's not like some
big dish, Okay, I didn't think. I don't think that's
ever going to come the why. I hope that never
comes out. I hope so, I hope so. But so
(11:21):
she sat down and did this full interview with Variety
about her new show Scarpetta Hik Scarpetta, which is streaming
on Amazon Prime Now with Jamie Lee Curtis, based on
all those books. But she was asked one question, how
are you doing since the divorce? The response was, I'm
good because I'm always going to be moving toward what's good.
(11:45):
I'm staying in place with my family, meaning she's staying
in Nashville with her daughters who are suddenly adults. Number
three Britney Spears had an interesting week. As you know.
Last week she was arrested for dui and so what
little we've heard this week is that her mugshot will
remain private. I think that's good for her. Yes, I
(12:07):
don't know why those mugshots ever have to get out.
It's public record. I suppose they say her arrest doesn't
really meet the criteria, you know, for a mugshot to
be released, a person being considered a threat to the public.
The word is, she's also saying she had one mimosa
before getting behind the wheel, and her alcohol blood alcohol
content was zero point zero six percent, which is below
(12:28):
the legal limit. Number two, Janet Jackson and a bunch
of the Jackson's, like sixty of them attended a private
screening of the biopic Michael last.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Week under Your Past So you want to be Star And.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
When they the lights went out, one that was all
sixty family members something like that, And when the lights
came back up, apparently there was some infighting. The word
is that Janet has she didn't like any of it,
and a lot of the family was like, please, can
you just get on board? That's what we're hearing. And
then remember the wide release of this movie Michael is
April twenty fourth. Number one, This big, unbelievable story Rihanna
(13:04):
is okay. After a woman allegedly fired shots at her
home over the weekend while she was there with her
three children. And we're talking an ar fifteen style gun.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What is nuts about it? Till it's all nuts? But
that it was.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
This woman has been arrested for a tempted murder charge
with attempted murder and assault. Morning you pick me up time, guys.
So this is an idea about how to spend quality
time with your friends or family in an inexpensive way
that maybe you've never thought of before. I'm so excited
about this idea. I know you're going to blow holes
(13:42):
through it. But here's what. It's a trend. It's happening.
People are doing it. It's called having a memory mining night.
Have you heard of this, guys? Mountain nuts okay, new
to me. If you don't want to spend a bunch
of money, but you want to have your friends over
or family over, but you want to have a good time,
you get together. You could set up your home with
(14:03):
like blankets and pillows, get around the comfy sofa, offer
something to drink, you know, snacks if you want. But
it's all about being together and going through tech is
a part of our lives. We all have the phone
all the time, and it's not that you have to
leave it at the door. It's in fact, bring it
to the circle and let's go through our camera rolls together.
(14:24):
Let's go through our playlist together, your weird note taking apps.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yes, it's called memory mining. Everything in our lives are
on these devices now, and instead of sitting together yet
looking at the device and not really being together, you
use the device as It's kind of like, to me,
the equivalent of what we used to do when we'd
go to my grandparents' house and my grandma would when
(14:50):
all of us were there, she would bring the big
box of pictures and put them down in the middle
of us. It's kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, now you can just scroll through the last twenty.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Four sadly you can. How many times have you gotten
the memory this is ten years ago?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Oh, I get those all the time when the kids
are like five and six, and it's like.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Ah, it levels you in the middle of your day,
does it not?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So, and you it's a good way to, you know,
have your kids come over if you haven't seen them
in a while. They're growing up or are older kids.
What's going on in your life. All you have to
do is open up the device and everything is there,
whether it's a song they heard, a stupid video they
shared with somebody, or you know, I took a video
of an owl across the street from the house the
other day. I haven't shown the kids yet, you know.
(15:39):
So it's something that friends are doing too.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Memory mining. Is that what you said.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I mean, that's what it's called. Call it what you want.
But having a memory mining night cost you nothing, but
you end up sharing a lot with your people.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Cool idea. I'm gonna start scrolling right now.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
We have the most lovely update that rolled into Facebook Messenger.
We really love hearing from you there, send us anything anytime.
A month or so ago, we heard from Gabriella, who
used to live in the United States, who is an
exchange teacher, a bilingual elementary school teacher originally from Venezuela,
and she listens on the podcast to the show every
Day guys, and she listens to the aftershow podcast. Anyway.
(16:21):
We have an update doing great in my Thailand adventures
from Gabriella. Life here is of course different. Food is
delicious people, very friendly. Teaching is an art no matter
where you or are, and I'm enjoying the journey. It reads.
I want to comment about kids being affected by the
COVID lockdown now that I have thought about this in
(16:43):
two very different parts of the world. We touched on
that in three Things to know that they have found
now it's been like six years, yeah, six years since
the first lockdown, and who suffered the most socially because
of that. It was kids who were around the age
of four, four, four and five year olds. Kind of
(17:03):
lets you know that that's when some of their most
important social skills are formed, and they were at home
and lockdown. They weren't in classrooms, they weren't together.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Which would make ten and eleven year olds now.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
They're ten and eleven now. So Gabriella wants to comment
on that. Now that I've thought about it two different
parts of the world, I can tell that statement about
four years old or younger at that time, they are
the most hurt. It is one hundred percent true. She says.
It is a challenge to teach them. However, if the
parents get involved, that makes all the difference, which is
(17:33):
also true in any education right.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yeah, so what are they saying is the I mean,
what is the challenge for socially?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Have trouble making friends, have trouble maintaining social relationships.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So I guess they have trouble learning also at the
same time.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yes, this also reads PS. I've been sharing your podcast
with my sister Alejandra, who lives in Spain, and now
she is also a fan. Thank you because your show
has become another way that the two of us connect.
Oh well, thank you, Gatriella. Thank you for sharing your
life with us. Keep it coming, you know, from Spain
(18:10):
and from Thailand.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Thanks for wherever. Yes, for sharing the international podcast. Let
me set this up for you. You got to go to
a kid's birthday party, but you have no idea what
kind of gift to give them.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I love my kids gifts.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I stumbled upon one this weekend. I really didn't. It
was kind of a sam gift for my grandson Hollis.
He had a sixth or his seventh birthday party this weekend,
six seven, who knows? Okay, Yeah, so I went and
bought a I was I was thinking, you know, what
do I get? What do I get? How about a
(18:44):
bunch of candy? Okay, great, but it's all it's all
in the presentation.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I bought.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I bought a wine bag, you know, the tall bag.
I know you put wine bottles in, yes, and I
just love you got them one.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Well, it was non alcoholic, and I loaded it with
candy bars, by two dozen candy bars.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Like full size, yeah, full size.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Here's the fun part. Because it didn't occur to me,
I thought, oh, this is just cool. It's a bag
full of candy and it's like a one of each, Skittles,
sweet Tarts, Snickers, Hershey Bar, everything, all the good stuff. Well,
he opens the bag, he, you know, pulls out the paper.
He pulls out Oh look it's a Snickers. And Sammy
was sitting there, my son is He hans the hand
the candy bar to Sammy and he pulls out another one.
(19:30):
Oh look, I'm mister goodbar. Hands it time. And then
it just kept going and going, and everybody at the
party is like, oh my god, how long is this?
Somebody said, oh, it's the Mary Poppins bag.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
That is a fun idea, a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I didn't realize that, you know, because it went on
for so long.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
It was going to be it is funny because you
know they're gonna if you know, it's going to be
open in front of everybody. That's a cute idea.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So you did the World market thing? Did you do
like all the international candies.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Like he did the Walmart thing?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I did the Walmart thing? Okay, and I had a
few more than I need to get.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
So that was Dollar General, right, So you just got
every single What was the most unusual candy in there?
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I think I put a watch McCall it in there.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Okay, has he ever heard what is it? Does he
know all of this candy?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, you'd like he knew it. The one that he
liked the most was the skittles.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Okay. So and mom and dad had no problem with
this because you loaded him up with sugar.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I wondered about that, but it was fine. I got
a video later of him eating the skittles and it
was all gone.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
He will he'll never forget that you did that. And
so you have to continually do the gift. That's a
whole experience.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Now next year I'll do a bigger bag.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Murphy, I owe you an apology, so I want to
do it here and I want to check on you
for what because last night, I always go to bed
earlier than you. I'm not always asleep when you come
into the room and you tiptoe in and do all
your stuff where you hope not to make noise.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, because the harder that I try not to make noise,
I inevitably make noise. That it's weird.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So last night, I'm so sorry that you slammed into
my vibration plate and made a huge no. Of course
I heard you. Okay, quite a word you dropped there? Yeah,
you whatever, you vibration.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So I was walking. You know the vibration plate thing
that Jodie works out on that it's this big piece
of metal that apparently was sitting in the middle of
the floor last night. So yeah, no, well I appreciate that. Well,
if you notice, I didn't even bring it up to
you today because I mean, I forget it. No hit hurt.
I'm a little bit, a little bit you know, bruised,
(21:41):
not you know, horribly so, but yeah, because I didn't
see it. The lights were out. I'm going to get
the dogs, and I mean I slammed into it, but
I didn't. I was worried that I woke you up,
but I didn't hear your movie.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I mean, oh I did. I got up and looked
at you in horror.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh did you? Yeah, Oh I didn't see you.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
So that's something to you. But you were not you
weren't You didn't hear me?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
No, I didn't hear anything. I thought I was being
as quiet as I could be under the circumstance.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I didn't mean to leave it there. I thought it
was in the same place it's been for several nights.
I was surprised that you ran into it.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
But well, I mean it's in the floor, it's in
the rock. Whether it's been there nights before, you know,
that's exactly where it was. Sorry, so in the dark again.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
What is a vibration plate.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It's for stability.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It's something you stand on and you turn it on
and I go up to level five lately, and I
do all kinds of things on it. Sometimes I just stretch,
sometimes I do squats. Sometimes I do my handheld weights
on it, and it circulation and core and balance. For me,
it's about balance with my bone density issues and things
like that. And I love the way it feels. Look
(22:50):
it up for all the different.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
So she bought a really good unit I can vouch
that it's very started. In fact, it doesn't move when
you kick it.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
So this happens right. Join us anytime we like hearing
from you. You can always call eight seven seven three
one zero four MSJ or reach us on messenger email.
All that, Lisa says, how's the dark showering going?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That's right. JODI's thing is, you know a dark shower
where supposedly it helps your circadian rhythm because you're not
hit with all that light right before bedtime, and it
kind of gets you ready for a b And Jody's
been taking dark shower.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I say, what do you mean supposedly helps? What did
you tell me last night while I was dark showering?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Murph, Well, I thought that it worked a few times
for me, but then like last night, I couldn't go
to sleep. Yeah, I got for two hours. It's like
it was yeah, okay, Well, I'm not saying it doesn't work.
I'm just saying it's soothing. It really is soothing. I
feel like I almost need to like change some of
the lighting in our bathroom.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
No, no, you don't. All the dark shower is we
turn the lights off. I turned the lights off in
the shower. There's a there's a little light on the outside. Yeah,
and it takes away it just makes it a more
soothing experience. And it's helping me.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You don't want a dimmable bulb and no.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
No, no, he can put it in real quick.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I don't want it. Please don't anyway. That's how it's going, Lisa.
It's working for me. Murphy's more complicated, obviously. Nora sent
this to Facebook messenger. Oh my gosh, a George Michael
movie and a bon Jovie movie week announced in the
same week. Because I gotta have this is some wonderful
news I've heard on this show. So thank you for it,
she said. Good for my eighties heart said, I had
(24:32):
the biggest crush on George Michael in the eighties. By
the way, I've been thrift store shopping and I've put
together my outfit for the Michael Jackson movie. I can't
wait to send you a picture of it when I
get it all together.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Oh cool, she can dress up going to the premiere.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Nora does that. She sent us a picture and it
was the cutest thing ever. When she went to see
Pretty and Pink in theaters because it was in theaters
on Valentine's Weekend and she went with her girlfriends and
they dressed up.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
That's sweet.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I never thought about dressing up to go to the
Michael Jackson movie. But I got news for you. I
will dress up cod to the bon Jovi one.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
But you have a bon Jovi T shirt, don't you?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I have six bon Jovi T shirts. It's one of
my favorite rock logos of all time, which is why
I have so many. Sam, you're the one who told
us about the George Michael. It's a concert film.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
It's a concert film from nineteen eighty eight. They during
his faith tour. They recorded it all and just canned
it away, and so now they're bringing it out and
they're going to bring it to theaters.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Can't wait. Thank you, Lisa and Nora. It's Women's History
Month and I have a story to tell you. Guys
have heard it. My best friends have heard it. And
every time someone new hears it, it's like, oh my god,
you got to tell that story. And so for young
girls listening, for young kids listening, for somebody new in
(25:50):
the workplace or in the workforce, this is a story
you need to hear. And that is how I got
my start here with you guys. Okay, because it wasn't
always Murphy, Samon, Joe. It was Murphy and Sam so
a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
No, I like this.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You did have a female co host had she left
she didn't want to work here anymore. And I was
a producer then, and I knew I had chemistry with
you too. From the moment the first day I worked
with you guys, I knew, oh, I might belong here
with you guys working you didn't get you didn't realize it.
Women's intuition, and that's fine. I kept my mouth shut
(26:34):
about it. But when the position was about to be filled,
I heard you guys talking about how you wanted to
hire a woman to lead, and but you wanted someone
who had a previous experience.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah, I asked Murphy. I was like, well, what about Jody,
she's here, and he goes, no.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
It wasn't just us. There were other people that had
were weighing in on it.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, you need to get you need somebody that's.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Got a couple of years of experience. So yeah, we
weren't looking.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
That's fine. I overheard that you guys talking about starting
to audition women for this role, and I was like,
I have chemistry, I'm here and I want the opportunity,
so I knew that I had to ask for it.
So this story is about assertiveness. So I remember it
was a Thursday afternoon, Murphy was in his office. This
(27:21):
is before I knew Murphy, well before he knew probably
even my last name. And I stood outside of your
office door and I knocked, yeh and go hi, Jodi,
and I said, I know, I understand that you guys
are about to start auditioning women for this role. I
really think that you should give me a shot. And
I remember you were like, oh okay, and you did.
(27:44):
You gave me a shot the next Monday. And the
story is I've never left since that day. And that's true.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It is true twenty odd years ago now.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
So the truth of the matter is the moral to
the story is, if you want something, you have to
ask for you can. I can't assume that others around
you are going to just discover you.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah, and even if even if you've earned it, it
doesn't it's not a judgment if they don't reach out
to you. It's always more important.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
You have to be assert of ask for what you want.
I want to touch on the quicksand story. The National
Park Service issuing quicksand warnings for the Glen Canyon National Recreation.
We touched on that in Three Things to Know the
other day. And I don't ever want to seem like
you don't need to be worried about something, because what
(28:30):
we said was you understand that the agency even noted
that quicksand is rarely life threatening. Getting free from it
can be exhausting, but you can get free from it.
And the trick is you have to stay calm. You
have to avoid frantic struggling, meaning you have to wear
what you feel like doing.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, we think about the movies, the moment that we
see quicksand. Yeah, well the movie quicksands. In movies, it
rarely ends.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Pretty Now, if you're falling quicksand in a movie, you're dead.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
And that's our life. I haven't seen quicksand in a
movie in twenty years, though.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, I think there are more sophisticated things to worry about,
Like that.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Was a seventies and eighties fear right.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
They say that, I mean, quicksand was a thing in
movies from the silent era onate that sense of tension.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Clever storytelling, Okay, Well, look the reason I bring it
back up because we touched on all that, hey, that
it's rarely life threatening and you can get free from it,
and that was where we moved on. But there have
been incidents reported by the New York Times, so I
wanted to talk about that that wasn't There was an
experienced hiker who had to be rescued from thigh deep
(29:36):
sand Okay in Utah in December. He was trapped there
in below freezing tempts for hours. It's rare. There are
people who have died being stuck in like mud quicksand
and they were overtaken. It's horrible. That's why the National
Park Service issues these warnings because they know, right, it
(29:58):
makes sense, right, Yeah, during in those areas, the shorelines
and the drainage areas in that park, which is the
Northern Arizona area in southern Utah, it includes like Powell,
there are some patches of quicksand there to be aware of.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
You know what's funny is we never hear quicksand horror
stories at the beach. No where there's sand everywhere.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
It's not quick.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Well that's because quicksand actually is a mixture of clay,
sand and other particles. But I digress. That's what makes
it quicksand is the mixture of all those, which is
what makes it dense and an issue. And they say,
supposedly there's just if you, if you just like take
your backpack off, anything that's heavy, relax, I'll kick back
(30:41):
to your back You may, Yeah, you'll be fine.
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choty Weekend Show podcast, highlighting
some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
How to avoid a Facebook marketplace scam.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Don't use Facebook market Place. Yeah, I knew Murphy.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Was going to say that it's not his favorite. Look,
We've had some not great situations. You put something up there,
let's just say a dresser, you put a picture of it,
and you put yeah, and then you start getting all
these crazy people who don't really exist, going where are you?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
What's your phone numbers box? That are hitting you up?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yes, by the way, though it's not going anywhere. About
a billion people a month's shop on Facebook market sure.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I mean, look, I get it. It's a convenient thing
if it's too expensive to ship and you really wanted
to sell and somebody can pick it up locally, I
mean why not. Yes, you just have to do your
due diligence.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I've seen sites where you're shopping for consignment type things
like let's just say I dress and then I've seen
the same dress on Facebook Marketplace and it is for
certain the same person, So like, oh you're local. Okay, anyway,
didn't you buy your ounie?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Man on Facebook marketplace and you went and picked it.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Up an hour, but it was worth it for the deal.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Good.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay, that's great, and then that's up to you. Number
one is meet locally in person at a place, public place,
public place, like not in your driveway, not in their driveway,
you know, not in homes. Do it. And you can
do it at a police station, public parking lots, things
like that. That's where you agree to meet where you
(01:32):
know there's surveillance. That's because you're dealing with strangers. Payment
methods for a local they do say they recommend cash
in person, recommend cash or PayPal or Facebook pay which
you can reverse and you have buyer protection. Don't necessarily
recommend like Venmo and zel because that's harder to reverse
if you got scammed. Okay, check the profile of the seller.
(01:54):
Is it a new profile? Do they have any friends?
You know? That's a that's another red flag.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
My thing is this and we don't. I don't do
it a lot because the whole Murphy's like, does this
person do we have any common friends? I'm smart, keep
communication in messenger as part of as part of it,
if you ever have If you're getting scammed.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, don't don't give your phone number, don't do the
texting thing.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, and it's the two of the things. To quickly
look out for. The overpayment scam where they want to
pay you more than you're even asking and they're pressuring
you to do something quickly. Back away from that. That's
a scam.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
So, Jody, you and I still have the the terrarium
set up from our beard to dragons drump no longer alive,
and that's the one you were going to sell them.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Every time I put it up there, I get the
I'm coming today, I'm coming to get it now, and
it's I feel the pressure and I just can't. So
we're gonna stick with it. Join us anytime, love having
you along. You can do it on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok,
and even email us at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Connie said as a message showedy for you, she says,
if you don't mind what model a vibration plate did
you get? I assume she's asking, because you know, we
told the story of me kicking it in the middle
of the night in the dark the other.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I didn't mean to leave it out. I've scooched it
way back against the wall after using it, since.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
She says her physical therapist wants her to get one
to improve her lymphatic drainage. Oh yeah, since my breast
cancer surgery. I have issues with lymp edema. Thank you, so.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Important lymphatic drainage so that everything goes in your body
where it's supposed to go and with inflammation. And I
hear that they're really good for that, so yay. The
one that I bought. The brand is I hope I
say it right, Marac Marac, maroc mer ah mer Ach Okay,
(03:47):
but I literally just picked it as like a mid
level you know. I didn't know what I was doing
when I chose that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, it wasn't an Amazon bestseller.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It might have had some good ratings. That's the one though,
So good luck with it. Do it and get on
it every day. It feels fantastic.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Jody uses hers every day. She tries to talk when
she's doing it too, right.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Okay, this is for you, Sam to Murphy saman Jody
dot com, mister Sam, this is from TJ. My heart
goes out to you, brother. This is about when you
were talking about your dog Gus. Oh yeah, and the
day that you knew it was his time. Losing a
close pet is close to losing a child almost. I
could tell that was hard on you when you spoke
(04:32):
about it just before Halloween. This past year, we lost
a cat that we'd had since she was born. She
was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Lord, that's a long life.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I still watch for her involuntarily when I back out
to leave for work. I still watch for her when
I opened the side door. I used to worry out
accidentally sweep her off of the poor she was far
too old to take a bump like that like that.
Anyhow much love to you and all of you. To
m Jay, I'm sure Gus is missed, God blessed.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yes, thank you very much, TJ. I appreciate that. Yeah,
and a similar situation. The first couple of weeks after
Gus was gone, I kept looking for him or thinking
I would see him around the right.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Because they're a part of your day to day life.
They're a part of your family. Of course you look
for it.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You're used to it.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We did an after the show podcast the other day
about your diabetes murphy when you were diagnosed twenty seven
years ago, what it's been like, all the misconceptions, Type
one yeah, type one diabout it juvenile diabetes. Well they
used to call it, they used to Yeah, now it's
type one because it's not just kids.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, not just because of the way you behave.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Anyway, based on that podcast, you have a message from
You have several messages, but this is one I want
to read to you. Hello. My name is Bella. I
am the eighteen year old college girl that my mom
Laurie messaged you all about asking you to tell your
tie one diabetic story.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Well, hi, Bella.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Your podcast meant so much and explained my emotions and
experiences to a t. Diabetics are often misunderstood and most
people don't understand the full extent of what diabetes entails.
It's so good to hear people with a great platform
talk about it. I cannot thank you enough. Mom, and
I are still learning and I have a long way
(06:22):
to go. I wish you all the best with your journey.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, thank you, Bella. That's really sweet. You know, you
have to understand it's really important to me, especially when
I meet somebody who honestly had the same situation I did,
where you go through part of your life and then
it's like your early adulthood and it changes for you
and she's in college.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
That's what the podcast was, a change everything.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You know, it just I naturally gravitate towards wanting to
support and help that person. So it's nice to meet you, Bella.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It's something that splits your life. Bella, before you were
diagnosed and now Ye. Laurie, Bella's mom also sent We
listened to the podcast with tears streaming down our faces.
Thank you so much. That made me and Bella feel better.
My husband liked it too. Bella has handled this with
such maturity. I'm amazed by her, and hearing you speak
about it gave her even more confidence.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Okay, well I'm happy to hear that. Wow, that makes
me feel good.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah. So that was an after the show podcast. What yesterday?
I want to say it two days ago?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And you know, so if you know somebody with type
one diabetes or whatever, that's where we go into depth. There,
the kind of depth that we don't go into here
on the show, and.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It needs to be because it's it's hard to understand
what's going on in the body and what you're having
to do for yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And it's so different than type two, which is what
most of the diabetic population. You know is.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Jessica sent this. I know this all too well. I
was just in the hospital last week with my six
year old with Type one. It's frustrating, it is scary.
This is and she's sent a picture. This is the
bag of meds I had to pick up for her today.
She sent that to us.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And at that age, I mean, you're talking about a
totally different level because you're having to help your child
learn and manage that. At the same time, you.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Are having to be, yep, a different kind of parent
than you thought you were going to have to be.
Keep it coming. We love having you along.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I want to set the scene for you here. It's
two am at my house. It's dark in the entire house,
obviously because I was asleep.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Sam.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I walk into the bathroom and there's a large dark
object in the middle of the floor. Accident, That's what
I'm thinking. Okay, flip the light on before I step
in it. I turn on the light and it is
the largest frog I have ever seen. I'm talking Murphy,
I'm talking the size of my hand. WHOA are you
(08:38):
a monster frog?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Get in the house?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Let him in.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I don't know. I am still trying to figure that
out because Okay, first of all, there was sheer panic
because I jumped back out of the room because it's
like a big frog, which means big frogs can jump
further around me.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Okay, if they can jump further.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I went and got the biggest rubber maid I had
and put it over him, you know, slid the lid
under him, took him outside, took the lid off, and
let him go bouncing off into the yard.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Nice release.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
But yeah, that's the that's the new thing. It's like,
where did he come from? Do you have a doggy door? No,
I know, I have just doors. I do leave the
back door open. No no, no, no no no, not overnight,
just like sometime in the afternoon. I'll leave it over
a lot of cats there so he can go in
and out.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Probably it was either that or he snuck in through
the toilet, believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I actually did think the toilet. It's like, that's how
snakes get in.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Looking in the toilet. It's not going to help you
because he's not. He didn't leave. You know a sign.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
My bathroom is you know, a good one hundred feet
or whatever from where the back door is. So that
means he knocked around, I wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Chopped around. We all had that sort of experience. I mean,
you've all, we've all encountered a frog. Especially you never
toyed with the idea of touching him yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It's like I've seen too many horror movies. It's like
it's a poisonous frog. He's got teeth, or he's going
to do something to me.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, they're hard, cat.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
This would make a lot more sense if we were
still drinking, but you don't. But you know, I've never
had a frog that big in the house. And I've
had the lead a bitty tiny ones that kind of
surface and cat.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I've seen those two and I think, Okay, I can
attribute that to getting in a window or a door
or something, but not this monster.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, well you're okay, you survived it.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
You want me to post a picture on Facebook?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Sure, okay, And don't leave your door open. Today is
the other.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Thing Jody's Top five entertainment stories of the week.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Number five. The Academy Awards coming up on Sunday on ABC,
hosted by Conan O'Brien again. You can watch it on
ABC and it will stream on Hulu. It's usually like
three or you know, plus hours. Know that some big
presenters announced. We know that Nicole Kimmon will be there,
Jimmy Kimmel, Channing Tatum and the big movies to look
(11:01):
out for while Sinners is one and then one battle
after another. Number four Nicole Kidman this week spoke about
her divorce from Keith Urban. Now, it's not like some
big dish, Okay, I didn't think. I don't think that's
ever going to come the why. I hope that never
comes out. I hope so, I hope so. But so
(11:21):
she sat down and did this full interview with Variety
about her new show Scarpetta Hik Scarpetta, which is streaming
on Amazon Prime Now with Jamie Lee Curtis, based on
all those books. But she was asked one question, how
are you doing since the divorce? The response was, I'm
good because I'm always going to be moving toward what's good.
(11:45):
I'm staying in place with my family, meaning she's staying
in Nashville with her daughters who are suddenly adults. Number
three Britney Spears had an interesting week. As you know.
Last week she was arrested for dui and so what
little we've heard this week is that her mugshot will
remain private. I think that's good for her. Yes, I
(12:07):
don't know why those mugshots ever have to get out.
It's public record. I suppose they say her arrest doesn't
really meet the criteria, you know, for a mugshot to
be released, a person being considered a threat to the public.
The word is, she's also saying she had one mimosa
before getting behind the wheel, and her alcohol blood alcohol
content was zero point zero six percent, which is below
(12:28):
the legal limit. Number two, Janet Jackson and a bunch
of the Jackson's, like sixty of them attended a private
screening of the biopic Michael last.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Week under Your Past So you want to be Star And.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
When they the lights went out, one that was all
sixty family members something like that, And when the lights
came back up, apparently there was some infighting. The word
is that Janet has she didn't like any of it,
and a lot of the family was like, please, can
you just get on board? That's what we're hearing. And
then remember the wide release of this movie Michael is
April twenty fourth. Number one, This big, unbelievable story Rihanna
(13:04):
is okay. After a woman allegedly fired shots at her
home over the weekend while she was there with her
three children. And we're talking an ar fifteen style gun.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What is nuts about it? Till it's all nuts? But
that it was.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
This woman has been arrested for a tempted murder charge
with attempted murder and assault. Morning you pick me up time, guys.
So this is an idea about how to spend quality
time with your friends or family in an inexpensive way
that maybe you've never thought of before. I'm so excited
about this idea. I know you're going to blow holes
(13:42):
through it. But here's what. It's a trend. It's happening.
People are doing it. It's called having a memory mining night.
Have you heard of this, guys? Mountain nuts okay, new
to me. If you don't want to spend a bunch
of money, but you want to have your friends over
or family over, but you want to have a good time,
you get together. You could set up your home with
(14:03):
like blankets and pillows, get around the comfy sofa, offer
something to drink, you know, snacks if you want. But
it's all about being together and going through tech is
a part of our lives. We all have the phone
all the time, and it's not that you have to
leave it at the door. It's in fact, bring it
to the circle and let's go through our camera rolls together.
(14:24):
Let's go through our playlist together, your weird note taking apps.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yes, it's called memory mining. Everything in our lives are
on these devices now, and instead of sitting together yet
looking at the device and not really being together, you
use the device as It's kind of like, to me,
the equivalent of what we used to do when we'd
go to my grandparents' house and my grandma would when
(14:50):
all of us were there, she would bring the big
box of pictures and put them down in the middle
of us. It's kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, now you can just scroll through the last twenty.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Four sadly you can. How many times have you gotten
the memory this is ten years ago?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Oh, I get those all the time when the kids
are like five and six, and it's like.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Ah, it levels you in the middle of your day,
does it not?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So, and you it's a good way to, you know,
have your kids come over if you haven't seen them
in a while. They're growing up or are older kids.
What's going on in your life. All you have to
do is open up the device and everything is there,
whether it's a song they heard, a stupid video they
shared with somebody, or you know, I took a video
of an owl across the street from the house the
other day. I haven't shown the kids yet, you know.
(15:39):
So it's something that friends are doing too.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Memory mining. Is that what you said.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I mean, that's what it's called. Call it what you want.
But having a memory mining night cost you nothing, but
you end up sharing a lot with your people.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Cool idea. I'm gonna start scrolling right now.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
We have the most lovely update that rolled into Facebook Messenger.
We really love hearing from you there, send us anything anytime.
A month or so ago, we heard from Gabriella, who
used to live in the United States, who is an
exchange teacher, a bilingual elementary school teacher originally from Venezuela,
and she listens on the podcast to the show every
Day guys, and she listens to the aftershow podcast. Anyway.
(16:21):
We have an update doing great in my Thailand adventures
from Gabriella. Life here is of course different. Food is
delicious people, very friendly. Teaching is an art no matter
where you or are, and I'm enjoying the journey. It reads.
I want to comment about kids being affected by the
COVID lockdown now that I have thought about this in
(16:43):
two very different parts of the world. We touched on
that in three Things to know that they have found
now it's been like six years, yeah, six years since
the first lockdown, and who suffered the most socially because
of that. It was kids who were around the age
of four, four, four and five year olds. Kind of
(17:03):
lets you know that that's when some of their most
important social skills are formed, and they were at home
and lockdown. They weren't in classrooms, they weren't together.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Which would make ten and eleven year olds now.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
They're ten and eleven now. So Gabriella wants to comment
on that. Now that I've thought about it two different
parts of the world, I can tell that statement about
four years old or younger at that time, they are
the most hurt. It is one hundred percent true. She says.
It is a challenge to teach them. However, if the
parents get involved, that makes all the difference, which is
(17:33):
also true in any education right.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yeah, so what are they saying is the I mean,
what is the challenge for socially?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Have trouble making friends, have trouble maintaining social relationships.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So I guess they have trouble learning also at the
same time.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yes, this also reads PS. I've been sharing your podcast
with my sister Alejandra, who lives in Spain, and now
she is also a fan. Thank you because your show
has become another way that the two of us connect.
Oh well, thank you, Gatriella. Thank you for sharing your
life with us. Keep it coming, you know, from Spain
(18:10):
and from Thailand.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Thanks for wherever. Yes, for sharing the international podcast. Let
me set this up for you. You got to go to
a kid's birthday party, but you have no idea what
kind of gift to give them.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I love my kids gifts.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I stumbled upon one this weekend. I really didn't. It
was kind of a sam gift for my grandson Hollis.
He had a sixth or his seventh birthday party this weekend,
six seven, who knows? Okay, Yeah, so I went and
bought a I was I was thinking, you know, what
do I get? What do I get? How about a
(18:44):
bunch of candy? Okay, great, but it's all it's all
in the presentation.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I bought.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I bought a wine bag, you know, the tall bag.
I know you put wine bottles in, yes, and I
just love you got them one.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Well, it was non alcoholic, and I loaded it with
candy bars, by two dozen candy bars.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Like full size, yeah, full size.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Here's the fun part. Because it didn't occur to me,
I thought, oh, this is just cool. It's a bag
full of candy and it's like a one of each, Skittles,
sweet Tarts, Snickers, Hershey Bar, everything, all the good stuff. Well,
he opens the bag, he, you know, pulls out the paper.
He pulls out Oh look it's a Snickers. And Sammy
was sitting there, my son is He hans the hand
the candy bar to Sammy and he pulls out another one.
(19:30):
Oh look, I'm mister goodbar. Hands it time. And then
it just kept going and going, and everybody at the
party is like, oh my god, how long is this?
Somebody said, oh, it's the Mary Poppins bag.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
That is a fun idea, a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I didn't realize that, you know, because it went on
for so long.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
It was going to be it is funny because you
know they're gonna if you know, it's going to be
open in front of everybody. That's a cute idea.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So you did the World market thing? Did you do
like all the international candies.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Like he did the Walmart thing?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I did the Walmart thing? Okay, and I had a
few more than I need to get.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
So that was Dollar General, right, So you just got
every single What was the most unusual candy in there?
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I think I put a watch McCall it in there.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Okay, has he ever heard what is it? Does he
know all of this candy?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, you'd like he knew it. The one that he
liked the most was the skittles.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Okay. So and mom and dad had no problem with
this because you loaded him up with sugar.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I wondered about that, but it was fine. I got
a video later of him eating the skittles and it
was all gone.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
He will he'll never forget that you did that. And
so you have to continually do the gift. That's a
whole experience.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Now next year I'll do a bigger bag.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Murphy, I owe you an apology, so I want to
do it here and I want to check on you
for what because last night, I always go to bed
earlier than you. I'm not always asleep when you come
into the room and you tiptoe in and do all
your stuff where you hope not to make noise.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, because the harder that I try not to make noise,
I inevitably make noise. That it's weird.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So last night, I'm so sorry that you slammed into
my vibration plate and made a huge no. Of course
I heard you. Okay, quite a word you dropped there? Yeah,
you whatever, you vibration.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So I was walking. You know the vibration plate thing
that Jodie works out on that it's this big piece
of metal that apparently was sitting in the middle of
the floor last night. So yeah, no, well I appreciate that. Well,
if you notice, I didn't even bring it up to
you today because I mean, I forget it. No hit hurt.
I'm a little bit, a little bit you know, bruised,
(21:41):
not you know, horribly so, but yeah, because I didn't
see it. The lights were out. I'm going to get
the dogs, and I mean I slammed into it, but
I didn't. I was worried that I woke you up,
but I didn't hear your movie.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I mean, oh I did. I got up and looked
at you in horror.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh did you? Yeah, Oh I didn't see you.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
So that's something to you. But you were not you
weren't You didn't hear me?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
No, I didn't hear anything. I thought I was being
as quiet as I could be under the circumstance.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I didn't mean to leave it there. I thought it
was in the same place it's been for several nights.
I was surprised that you ran into it.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
But well, I mean it's in the floor, it's in
the rock. Whether it's been there nights before, you know,
that's exactly where it was. Sorry, so in the dark again.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
What is a vibration plate.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It's for stability.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It's something you stand on and you turn it on
and I go up to level five lately, and I
do all kinds of things on it. Sometimes I just stretch,
sometimes I do squats. Sometimes I do my handheld weights
on it, and it circulation and core and balance. For me,
it's about balance with my bone density issues and things
like that. And I love the way it feels. Look
(22:50):
it up for all the different.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
So she bought a really good unit I can vouch
that it's very started. In fact, it doesn't move when
you kick it.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
So this happens right. Join us anytime we like hearing
from you. You can always call eight seven seven three
one zero four MSJ or reach us on messenger email.
All that, Lisa says, how's the dark showering going?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That's right. JODI's thing is, you know a dark shower
where supposedly it helps your circadian rhythm because you're not
hit with all that light right before bedtime, and it
kind of gets you ready for a b And Jody's
been taking dark shower.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I say, what do you mean supposedly helps? What did
you tell me last night while I was dark showering?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Murph, Well, I thought that it worked a few times
for me, but then like last night, I couldn't go
to sleep. Yeah, I got for two hours. It's like
it was yeah, okay, Well, I'm not saying it doesn't work.
I'm just saying it's soothing. It really is soothing. I
feel like I almost need to like change some of
the lighting in our bathroom.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
No, no, you don't. All the dark shower is we
turn the lights off. I turned the lights off in
the shower. There's a there's a little light on the outside. Yeah,
and it takes away it just makes it a more
soothing experience. And it's helping me.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You don't want a dimmable bulb and no.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
No, no, he can put it in real quick.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I don't want it. Please don't anyway. That's how it's going, Lisa.
It's working for me. Murphy's more complicated, obviously. Nora sent
this to Facebook messenger. Oh my gosh, a George Michael
movie and a bon Jovie movie week announced in the
same week. Because I gotta have this is some wonderful
news I've heard on this show. So thank you for it,
she said. Good for my eighties heart said, I had
(24:32):
the biggest crush on George Michael in the eighties. By
the way, I've been thrift store shopping and I've put
together my outfit for the Michael Jackson movie. I can't
wait to send you a picture of it when I
get it all together.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Oh cool, she can dress up going to the premiere.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Nora does that. She sent us a picture and it
was the cutest thing ever. When she went to see
Pretty and Pink in theaters because it was in theaters
on Valentine's Weekend and she went with her girlfriends and
they dressed up.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
That's sweet.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I never thought about dressing up to go to the
Michael Jackson movie. But I got news for you. I
will dress up cod to the bon Jovi one.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
But you have a bon Jovi T shirt, don't you?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I have six bon Jovi T shirts. It's one of
my favorite rock logos of all time, which is why
I have so many. Sam, you're the one who told
us about the George Michael. It's a concert film.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
It's a concert film from nineteen eighty eight. They during
his faith tour. They recorded it all and just canned
it away, and so now they're bringing it out and
they're going to bring it to theaters.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Can't wait. Thank you, Lisa and Nora. It's Women's History
Month and I have a story to tell you. Guys
have heard it. My best friends have heard it. And
every time someone new hears it, it's like, oh my god,
you got to tell that story. And so for young
girls listening, for young kids listening, for somebody new in
(25:50):
the workplace or in the workforce, this is a story
you need to hear. And that is how I got
my start here with you guys. Okay, because it wasn't
always Murphy, Samon, Joe. It was Murphy and Sam so
a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
No, I like this.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You did have a female co host had she left
she didn't want to work here anymore. And I was
a producer then, and I knew I had chemistry with
you too. From the moment the first day I worked
with you guys, I knew, oh, I might belong here
with you guys working you didn't get you didn't realize it.
Women's intuition, and that's fine. I kept my mouth shut
(26:34):
about it. But when the position was about to be filled,
I heard you guys talking about how you wanted to
hire a woman to lead, and but you wanted someone
who had a previous experience.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah, I asked Murphy. I was like, well, what about Jody,
she's here, and he goes, no.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
It wasn't just us. There were other people that had
were weighing in on it.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, you need to get you need somebody that's.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Got a couple of years of experience. So yeah, we
weren't looking.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
That's fine. I overheard that you guys talking about starting
to audition women for this role, and I was like,
I have chemistry, I'm here and I want the opportunity,
so I knew that I had to ask for it.
So this story is about assertiveness. So I remember it
was a Thursday afternoon, Murphy was in his office. This
(27:21):
is before I knew Murphy, well before he knew probably
even my last name. And I stood outside of your
office door and I knocked, yeh and go hi, Jodi,
and I said, I know, I understand that you guys
are about to start auditioning women for this role. I
really think that you should give me a shot. And
I remember you were like, oh okay, and you did.
(27:44):
You gave me a shot the next Monday. And the
story is I've never left since that day. And that's true.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It is true twenty odd years ago now.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
So the truth of the matter is the moral to
the story is, if you want something, you have to
ask for you can. I can't assume that others around
you are going to just discover you.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah, and even if even if you've earned it, it
doesn't it's not a judgment if they don't reach out
to you. It's always more important.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
You have to be assert of ask for what you want.
I want to touch on the quicksand story. The National
Park Service issuing quicksand warnings for the Glen Canyon National Recreation.
We touched on that in Three Things to Know the
other day. And I don't ever want to seem like
you don't need to be worried about something, because what
(28:30):
we said was you understand that the agency even noted
that quicksand is rarely life threatening. Getting free from it
can be exhausting, but you can get free from it.
And the trick is you have to stay calm. You
have to avoid frantic struggling, meaning you have to wear
what you feel like doing.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, we think about the movies, the moment that we
see quicksand. Yeah, well the movie quicksands. In movies, it
rarely ends.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Pretty Now, if you're falling quicksand in a movie, you're dead.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
And that's our life. I haven't seen quicksand in a
movie in twenty years, though.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, I think there are more sophisticated things to worry about,
Like that.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Was a seventies and eighties fear right.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
They say that, I mean, quicksand was a thing in
movies from the silent era onate that sense of tension.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Clever storytelling, Okay, Well, look the reason I bring it
back up because we touched on all that, hey, that
it's rarely life threatening and you can get free from it,
and that was where we moved on. But there have
been incidents reported by the New York Times, so I
wanted to talk about that that wasn't There was an
experienced hiker who had to be rescued from thigh deep
(29:36):
sand Okay in Utah in December. He was trapped there
in below freezing tempts for hours. It's rare. There are
people who have died being stuck in like mud quicksand
and they were overtaken. It's horrible. That's why the National
Park Service issues these warnings because they know, right, it
(29:58):
makes sense, right, Yeah, during in those areas, the shorelines
and the drainage areas in that park, which is the
Northern Arizona area in southern Utah, it includes like Powell,
there are some patches of quicksand there to be aware of.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
You know what's funny is we never hear quicksand horror
stories at the beach. No where there's sand everywhere.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
It's not quick.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Well that's because quicksand actually is a mixture of clay,
sand and other particles. But I digress. That's what makes
it quicksand is the mixture of all those, which is
what makes it dense and an issue. And they say,
supposedly there's just if you, if you just like take
your backpack off, anything that's heavy, relax, I'll kick back
(30:41):
to your back You may, Yeah, you'll be fine.
