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):
Jody, you would share with us that Anya Taylor Joy
is going to be and she's been added to the
cast of the new Lord of the Rings. Whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
There's a newly created elf and she's it in the movie.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You know, there's an upcoming movie. Is what it is?
And which where are we in this series?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I don't know. I don't know. I just know it's
a big series because it's not what I follow. But
I wanted to bring the news.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, you know whenever I bring up Star Wars and
basically I can feel eyes rolling because I'm a Star
Wars nerd.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Oh, you assume that eyes are rolling.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
When you started talking about Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah, that's where were your eyes were or not?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The nerds actually have nerds, oh, because when you started
talking about Lord.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Of the Ring, it's ultimate nerd, it's higher nerd.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, and she's been added as an elf.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Actually, And if you had to, if you asked me
to rate the nerds, you know, the fandom nerds, I
would put Star Trek at the top. Yeah. I don't
know why because I probably because I'm less interested in
that than anything.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
But see, for me, out of all of them, it's
it's the only one that I actually got into for
a while.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Can I not know that?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I don't know if it' it's the Hokies nineteen sixties
take you know, or whatever. But I just never got
into Star Wars, have never gotten into the Lord of
the Rings kind of. It didn't get into you know,
Game of Thrones either. Say you know, I'm kind of
an outsider in all of those universes.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, I know, Sorry, you're not a nerd, or they're.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
All just part of the same universe.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Well, they're all kind of you know, a lot of
the times they take the old stories and just rework them,
like I've seen, Oh god, this is gonna get nerdy.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
People that actually delve into Star Wars and how it's
based on mythological characters from you know, mythology. It's the
same story over and over. We just change the names.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And a lot of antagonists. Every story has a protagonist,
that's true, and a lot of andever you have has
a villain.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, and there's a lot of people, there's a lot
of great stories with a parental issue, our child with
parental uh, needing to understand self. It's about you know, self, identity.
It's about identity.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
That's the Disney theme right there.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, mother, Yeah, and then Bambi's mother.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah no no, But so you are you saying that?
Where do you think Star Wars nerds land? Because Star
Wars is probably the most accepted loved franchise.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Order of the Rings is more nerdy than anything. It's
very very nerds. There's elves and fairies and trolls and
orcs and.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, well, hey, you know what, if you want to
let us know, you know what you think is the
nerd hierarchy of nerds, you want to hear it? Eight
seven seven three one zero four m s J Calling
all nerds. Got an email here from Justin to Murphy
Salmon Jody dot com. Hey, guys, want to comment about
beautiful Champ and the fresh food which Murphy fed Champ
(03:07):
the first tube.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, that just makes it sound bad, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
We changed his food.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, he gets a tube of food every day from.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
The dry food because he's getting older in his gums
and I want him to have better food on the way.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, you just wanted it to be more tasty. And
how's it going. They're both blowing. Both of our dogs
are blowing off the dry food. It's like, forget feeding
them any of that. They're eating around it good.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Okay, Justin says, want to comment about that the fresh food.
I don't know if you can, but consider popping his
portion in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
I do this for my elderly cat when it comes
to his what hey, it's it's okay. People get to
treat their animals the way they want. I do this
for my elderly cat when it comes to his wet food.
(03:53):
I feel like it makes it more appetizing and easier
on digestion. Always as always loved the show. Justin, you
are precious for that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know what that's That's probably very true because if
it's got any fat compounds, those things softened.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
They need to break down.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
And you had me leave it at room temperature, which
is exactly what I did. And you know I love
the dogs. But this is where I'm drawing another line.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yes, well you won't microwave it. I want you to
at least get it to room temp.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
We've just graduated from eating from a bag off the floor. Yeah,
you know, it's I think we're good with room temp.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
She never ate off off the floor. No, okay, thank you,
Justin You're precious.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I got one here from Gary. Hi, Gary, same topic here. Hey, Jody, Hey,
I wanted to tell you I started feeding my dog
Deli Fresh food. It's refrigerated. Oh well, Gary, you need
a microwave it. It's refrigerated. I get it at Costco
or Sam's or at the local pet store.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I think it's a little expensive, but she eats it
more than she does the dry dog food.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Course.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Sounds like she's picking it out too.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I mean, I really think it happens. Once you give
them this, they're not going backwards.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, well that's the point.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
These dogs are thirteen years old. They're not going backwards
in any way, shape or for.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Gary says she's only seven years old and her teeth
are getting bad, so the doctor suggested putting her on
Deli Fresh food.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
That makes sense, because again, if they can't chew the
dry stuff. I get that our dogs aren't quite there yet.
But you know, yeah, thank you God, they're apparently never
going to get there. Love hearing from you all soft food.
From this point at.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Forward, you can always join us also eight seven seven
three one zero four MSJ Morning pick me up time.
We're going to celebrate Grandma Drawnniac. Do you know who
she is? Have you heard of her?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I do know.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
She's famous on TikTok and other social media platforms. She
has millions of followers. She has posted up her dating rules,
she has posted up her funeral rules.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And she's ninety six years old, and lately she's gone
viral again because she lives in a nursing home in
Connecticut and they have threatened to kick her out for
partying too hard, and so she shares that with social media.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Here she is, I'm getting kicked out of the nursing home.
I just got this letter. It says you're getting kicked
out if you don't stop the party. You could read it.
Parties are not allowed and you cannot serve alcohol to
other residence. Letters serves as a form form of warning.
(06:28):
I could do what I want.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
She lived the letter and said I can do what
I want.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
She really is. She puts on lipstick, she puts on makeup,
and she rolls out and I say that she's in
a wheelchair. She rolls out and she invites you know,
she lives there in like a little mini apartment. It's
her thing, and she pays to live there. And yeah,
she's known as a really good time and she invites
other residents over and they drink and they gossip.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
She's like, we're here to drink and gossip and you know,
and then she in the next video, she even stated
exactly why she is going to stay.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I pay twelve dollars a month to live here. I
could party if I want. My girlfriends are coming over tonight.
We're going to drink and gossip. It's not a party,
but we do get rowdy. I can't help it. I
love to party. You can't stop me.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Wow, Yeah, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The knock at the door there to get for them
to take her out.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Well, the knock at the door for probably a girlfriend
coming over to party house. She was doing this, I
howly suggest you follow her. She is putting on lipstick
and brushing her hair and reading the letter and tearing
it up. And she also has a T shirt on
that says it has arrows pointing up eyes up here guys.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
She is hysteric.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Her real name is Lilian. She is ninety six. You
guys know what a throwback vacation is.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
No, I've never heard of that.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
We met them. We've done them without realizing it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Going back in time, or going back and reliving your
favorite vacation.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Going back, trying to recapture a vacation from your childhood
with your current family, scheduling something that would mirror like
you know, first of all, Murphy, you know, I know
you're going to bring up the botched camping trip that
I forced on the family, the big family.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
It's fun, though I have happy memories of it.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You do, I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, okay, the cabin was kind of dirty.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, that's the worst thing for me. I had to
clean upon arrival.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, CoA, Murphy's happy memory might be going home.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well anyway, Yeah, I had one fantastic camping trip when
I was little, and that year we wanted to do
everything on a budget. I suggested we do that to
the same campground and it was our girls were just
crying ready to go home.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well the fishing, the fishing wasn't that great. Phoebe lost
her fishing.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Pole for Barbie fishing pole.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, but then was retrieved by another camper, so that
that was a pop positive.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I actually fished it out.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I did go a little Clark Griswold on us that
year two because we got you and I got bicycles
to go along with the girls bicycles and I because
we were going to go riding through the parks.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I rode. We did anyway, there was green algae in
the pools. I forgot about that, all right. We also
have done it right though. We have done plenty of
little beach visits that are very reminiscent to your.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
My family vacations which were only that right, one beach,
one place.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, but and we went. I went to the Smoky
Mountains with my family once as a summer vacation, and
we tried to relieve that and it was the best. Right.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
We've done the Smokies a number of times and it's
always great.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
What about you, Sam, Have you ever scheduled a throwback
trip of throwback vacation where you're actually you don't even
know why you're doing it, but I'm telling you you're trying
to recapture No nothing really, Oh you should didn't. Your
dad used to take you to tours or brewery tours.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, I can't do ken.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
There's no point in doing that.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yes you could, I mean you're educationally yes, but.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
What about if it was an alcohol free beer.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I'm not interested in breweries. I've seen them all.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Your dad cured you of that. Huh okay, they say
you're doing it. It brings back happy times. It's good
for your mental health, as long as it doesn't go
like our camping trip. And if there's too much going
on in the world for you, if you were overwhelmed
with just what's going on in the world, or your
life has become to tech or whatever it's, you know,
you want to recapture something and you want to go
(10:31):
back to a time before you had all.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
This adult stress algae in the swimming pool.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Join the conversation anytime. Eight seven seven three one zero four. Ms. Jay,
love hearing from you, and we are still hearing about
the sweet treats that you give your older dogs just
to spoil them, since we are in spoil mode at
home with our champ. By the way, for I gave
him peanut butter for the first time in his life
the other night, and I made them say of putting
(11:00):
it on a spoon instead of just my finger. He tried,
he smelled it, and he went He tried to grab
the whole spoon. Bless him. So I took it off
the spoon and let him just look it off my
finger and he loved it.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
He didn't take off your finger. Huh.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
No, he would never. He would never, Okay, so Noel
sent this. We gave our fourteen year old Irish setter
two dog cups of ice cream every day. You can
buy it in the freezer section of the grocery store.
It's dog ice cream.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I would go home for lunch and spend time with
him and give him the ice cream before I left,
and he got the he got the second one after dinner.
We did this for a year and a half.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh, that's really sweet.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
And she sent us a picture of him gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I take it.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
This is doggy safe, non dairy kind of Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I've never seen it dog ice cream in the grocery store,
but I've seen it at the pet store. Yeah, dog
ice cream. I wonder what it tastes like. I'm not
going to eat it, but I just wonder. But yeah,
don't give a dog don't give a dog regular ice cream? Right,
that would be a.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I wouldn't do that situation.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Backyard situation. Okay from Murphy Saman Jody dot com an
email that came to you, Sam, this is front Well, okay,
it's too it's it's for you to answer, John synth this.
I just have to ask where Sam got that the
cover of that old song that Ella Langley did on
her on her porch. I can't find it, and it
(12:23):
reminded me of being young my grandmother.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Is she did wasted days and wasted nights.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It was just an Instagram post though, right, that's where
you're gonna find it at Instagram.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Look up Ella Langley on Instagram. That's where it'll be.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
John. It sounds like you're an ello fella.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, and that was what about a week or two ago.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It was a couple of weeks week ago.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
So look back aways in her calendar.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Just go to find her on Instagram and just you'll enjoy.
She's fun and.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
This she does a bunch of songs, so you'll find
others on there too.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Okay, there you go, John, join us anytime. If you're
not naturally a morning person, but you need to be
because life, you know the world. If you get a
job and the hours are earlier than what you're used to,
you might struggle with that. So how to become a
morning person if you are not. One of the number
(13:16):
one things is to get some light exposure into your
day early, as early as possible. Let the light in.
It messes with it helps your rhythms, Katie and rhythm.
Do you know that when my mom was in the
hospital and as she used to be on a she
would stay up all night. She'd stay up really late
and sleep late. And that's not how it goes in
(13:36):
hospital life. Like they roll into that room at seven
and they're doing rounds and stuff, and they would open
the windows and say, we need to let some light
in because you know, get her on a schedule, so
let the light in. Make a deliberate sleeping and waking schedule,
Like just decide you're going to get up at six
or whatever it is, you're going to go to bed
(13:56):
at ten, whatever it is that you decide for yourself
how many hours you actually want of sleep, and then
set the alarm. You have to kind of be intentional
about you won't become a morning person without trying. If
you're not naturally.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Have they ever done studies to prove that you can
make yourself or make someone become a morning person.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
They've done a part of.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Your makeup that you're never going to be a morning person.
You can be trained.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I can tell you from my personal experience that when
I was in college, I was not a morning person.
I was the typical, typical college schedule. But I and
I thought that was my general makeup. I thought that
was something I was stuck with and obviously not. You know,
I wake up like a bolt of lightning in the morning.
You love it. So I think it's what you do,
you have, it's all these things that you can do.
(14:45):
You think you're naturally a morning person or no? Because
Murphy is I think a night out.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, and I mean on and off over the years,
I've been a night out and I get this like
second win thing that I can't shut my brain off.
And and I know that what we do starts very well.
We it starts before the sun comes up. So the
only light you can let in is one you turn
it off.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
So light. Yeah, if you're doing it and you're trying
and it's hard for you, make sure there's some positivity
in your morning routine, your favorite coffee or petting the
dog or something lovely like a meditation. Yeah, make sure
there's a reward for you putting your feet on that floor.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Oh, I gotta go to work.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Do it early. And then the last most important piece
of advice, and these are from experts, and it's hard, murph,
but keep it as consistent on the weekend as you can.
If you're getting up at six, it doesn't mean you
have to do six, but maybe push it to seven,
no later than eight on the weekend so that your
body knows what you were trying to tell it to do.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
That could be the very toughest one of all.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Jokey, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Social media connect Jody Jody, Jody, Jody Jody, these comments
are for you this morning, March Socials. You actually had
mentioned about anxiety and it kind of comes out of nowhere?
Was that in our after the show podcast that we
did that?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, we did a whole We didn't just mention it.
We did a soul bearing after the show podcast about
my anxiety.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I just couldn't remember if it was here in the
show or in the podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Came because of your mom in the hospital, and well,
even after she's home now, you're still feeling it.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah. While while she was in the hospital, I felt
like I was really ramped up, and I remember having
days where anxiety. But it's been since then. She's home
now and she's doing really well, and I can't believe
that when it comes, I can't believe it. You know,
I'm trying to learn to deal with it.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Well, you suggested the three three three thing in the podcast,
which is touched three things here, three things smell three.
I don't something like that.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, I'm so glad you're in it with me.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'm totally with you.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I just it was a method to managing anxiety.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Grounding yourself in the pressure.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Three things you can see, three things you can hear,
like a podcast or a bird chirping or somebody speaking,
or in three things you can move like roll your shoulders,
wiggle your fingers. Just a way to put yourself in
the present and not let anxiety in the what if
scenarios take you over.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well, Clint posted here. I know this may sound out
of the norm, but what helps my anxiety stress is
a nice walk on a trail in the woods by myself,
and sometimes I even try to find an open area
in the woods, put a blanket down, laid down on
it for a bit, and just listen to nature and
what surrounds me. I hope you overcome this. Best wishes,
Thank you, Clint.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I think I will overcome this. I think this is temporary.
Although anxiety is a part of life for everyone, at times,
I've not been getting my typical nature walks that I
used to do every night, just because life is busy
right now, work and life and visiting my mom every
day and sort of trying it to help take care
of her. So yeah, thank you, Clint.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I have one here from Jackie. She says, I've had
anxiety and panic attacks since my daddy passed away thirty
three years ago. Oh, they are awful, But I came
across a book Free from Fears, and it's a game changer. Yeah.
I can't remember the author, but I can tell you
it definitely helped me. I still have them, but they're
fewer and far further between. I'll be sending up prayers
(18:10):
for you.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Thank you, Jackie, and thanks to everybody who has commented
on that. And you can always go back and listen
to you after the show. Podcast apparently Murphy needs to know.
It's okay anyway, anywhere you get your podcasts, just search Murphy,
Sam and Jody. What is a career a job that
you think sounds so great? Like, what has been romanticized
(18:33):
to you?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
For you?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Is it an astronaut?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Sam Radio? Okay, yeah, astronaut is romanticized heroes. You look,
they're going to the moon in the.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Space that probably that job probably is all it's cracked
up to be, although the training is no joke, no
and not easy.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
You know, when you say romanticized, I like secret agents
kind of had that allure. That's where you had that
whole thing in the sixties and James Bond and so you.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Know, totally. Look, I have a friend whose best friend
is married to a secret service agent, and the stories
we tell about this guy when we get together, what
I'm told.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Well, I mean, I'm sure she does knew a whole
lot as well. It was the same.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Okay. So the top most romanticized careers and jobs that
actually in real life are much harder. At the top
of the list is attorney, lawyer. I guess movies. In
movies and TV, it seems like they're.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Show up in the court room and you fight the case.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
That's it, right, Well, it doesn't really talk about how
many years of education it takes and then passing the
bar exam and in what your area of specialty is.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
And yeah, I've never thought that was romanticized to me.
That seems hard.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Say when you say romanticized now that you're framing it
like in terms of shows and stuff like that. I mean,
so lawyers have been that way, doctors have been so
many medical dramas.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Corract private eyes, private eyes on the list and the
top three private eye is up there. That's seemed horrible.
I knew so much getting around and following people and
reporting back horrible thing.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, I knew someone who was a private eye. Kind
of a rough lifestyle because you're not getting a whole
lot of sleep or whatever.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
In the world. Did you know somebody who's a private eye.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I don't know he knew more about me than because
he was a private eye.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Romanticized magnum p I oh, right, of course. You know,
living in Hawaii driving a Ferrari.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
That's television, that's TV.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Okay, nineteen eighties romanticism.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Bartender on the list. It's hard work, pleasing all those
people and the longer the night goes, the more drunk
they get.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's hart story.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I guess you do chef on the List?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Ah yeah, oh yeah, it's a hard job.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
It is a hard job. That's a lifestyle, and you
probably don't get the glory, you know, you you really
have to love that to work in a kitchen.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I would say, well, the and that's not the perfectly
accurate representation. But the harder side of that has been
the series that you and I haven't finished yet, Jodie.
We got all of one episode.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Two episodes and wrapped up already. To the veterinarian on
the list for sure, that's a hard life. And pilot
on the list, yeah, just.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
The hours you put in. It's a pilot.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Never home. Just remember everything is harder than it looks,
even astronauts. Sam, you're the food dude. Do you know
of any secret menu items? Because there are secret menu
items at big fast food places.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I know most of the fast food places have them. Yeah,
it's just stuff that you know how to order that
they don't put on the menu.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
So I don't know any of that, none of them.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I mean I can look at the screen and say,
you know what I for.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
But I read about them in the stories when I'm
looking for it, But you've never tried to order one. No,
I'm good with what's on the menu.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Last time you were sick and you had like a
head cold, I ordered for you. I went to Starbucks
and I got you a I ordered medicine ball tea.
I even do it like, I'm like, do you have
medicine ball tea? Like it's a secret code, and she
was like sure, and then she typed it in as
on the screen. It came back as like a citrus
honey lemon, yeah. Something.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I don't think they advertise it as that.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
No, it's actually that.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
That's probably the only quote unquote secret menu item. I'm
a worker because I've ordered it.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
You would like this Murphy at Arby's if you order
the Meat Mountain. It's a towering sandwich which includes every
single meat they offer roast, beef, brisket, turkey, ham, corned beef,
chicken tenders, bacon, and cheddar cheese.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Well, I might have to try that to see if
it works.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
How tall is I don't know if you.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Can order it. It's a meat mountain, Sam, I.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Think you're taking your chances, because what if you have
somebody new who doesn't know what the meat mountain is?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Well, just try it out. I think it's worth trying, right, Hey,
can I do a meat mountain? And if they say,
excuse me, sir, I don't know what and then you're.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Gonna be you gonna have to eat it with a fork.
But still you can order that. The word is that
Starbucks has another one, butter beer frappuccino.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh really, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Their cream frappuccino bass caramel syrup and toffee and finished
with a caramel drizzle. Tastes like butter beer.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
But interesting.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
McDonald's has some the Halsh Brown McMuffin. Now, if they don't,
don't give it to you. That way, you could order
a hash brown and a McMuffin and make it yourself.
You toss out the bread and you in other words,
you eat what's inside of an egg McMuffin with two
hash browns on the outside of it. But you can
order it. And most they say most McDonald's knows they
know what it is. Most people know to go okay,
(23:16):
you might get up charged, so be it. You're trying
to be secretive.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I was thinking that a little greasy there.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Well, you have to eat in the car. You could
do this stuff anyway. You could order the two hash
Browns and just.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Just take a hash brown and shove it in the
middle with I don't know, but I do know. I
need to figure out how I can drive with a
meat mountain.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I can't drive with it. Of course, McDonald's you can
also apparently order the Land, Sea and Air Burger. It's
a three deck or burger. It's like a big mac.
That's the beef. There's a mc chicken patty on it
in a file of fish. So Land Lancy and Lancy
and Air Burgers what that one's called. And finally, as
(23:56):
a taco bell, if you order the Incredible Hulk, you'll
get their regular Instead of sauce, you'll get a bunch
of extra gualk. It's a greenish s burrito.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Have fun this summer, guys. We've had such a beautiful
and overwhelming response on our social media pages about Champ,
our thirteen year old rescue dog, my boyfriend dog, and
the dreamiest dog we've ever had, not saying a lot
murph about you know what we posted and have shared
here that he is in decline and along with our vet,
(24:29):
we have decided to make him super comfortable whether he
lives three more months or three more years. And we
had shared that because he did have a medical emergency.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, I mean it was an episode. It was one
of those where we've had enough dogs. We're thinking this,
this might be it. Yeah, and somehow, and maybe it's
because of all the comments and the well wishes, but
I mean he's back. Is he literally is back to
what he was now. He's still old and he's still
sleeping a lot, but he his personality is back again.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
He's not trying to get me to take him on
walks anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
That's a yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
But we started spoiling him, as was our plan with
the vet. So the boy is eating peanut butter at night.
Last the other night, he had three of my five
chicken nuggets from my kid's meal.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Guess what he won't eat anymore now, food dog three food.
So we put that at the ball and he's like,
he's looking up and.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, don't you remember I'm not feeling well.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, right, it's.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Just it's lovely and funny. So we decided last night,
I really do mean thank you because everybody's checking on Champ.
Someone sent in that he's America's dog. He's all of
our dogs really is.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
That's sweet. He's the most humanlike dog we've ever had.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
He so is, and so he's liking all this. I
don't know if he's back because of the peanut butter
and the chicken nuggets and all the spoiling and all
the extra you're the best boy in the world talks.
But so we decided last night that we're going to
we're going to switch his food. We're going to upgrade
his food. We're not going to continue to feed him
fast food.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Jody wants to experiment with some thing that we've not
done before.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, the fresh food, the fresh fresh dog food.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah. That looks like a big sausage. You just slice
off a hunk of it, throw all chubs of ground
meat there.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, So he and Sparky are going to switch to
that because Sparky's not young either. You know, Sparky just
thinks he's young. Sparky's like twelve years old.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Come on, you don't want to have fun and just
feed it to him and make Sparky mad.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
No. In fact, Sparky's been getting nuggets and peanut butter too. Oh,
but I just want to thank everybody.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
For the love.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Cassandra sent this. My childhood dog was leaving us, and
I remember my mom making him rice and chicken or
hamburger for his meals. We definitely spoiled him in his
last days, Steven said, we did the same for our
docs and back in twenty thirteen in his last days,
we gave him ice cream and eminem's all that he wanted. Ooh, anyway,
(26:49):
so we're gonna slow our roll in the candy. They
were going to the raw dog food to day. On
the subject of anxiety, we all feel it at times.
Of course, we did this whole after the Show podcast
the other day about some anxiety that's been really hitting
me lately and taking over and I can't believe, and
we shared it.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Mostly because of your mom's surgery and managing through that.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
But she's home now and she's better now. That's why
I couldn't understand, Like why now I do want to
say that I'm better this week. It's midweek now, but
earlier this week I couldn't believe it was still happening,
physically happening. Angels sent this comment I have to share, Jody,
I struggle with anxiety, and what I know to be
true is that while you were in the hospital with
(27:32):
your mom, you had her physically in front of you,
and all of your attention was on her. Now that
she is home and you aren't there to see her
and watch her, your mind is now releasing the anxiety
that you probably had, but at the time we're too
focused on her to let it have control. You said
on the show that now that she is home, this
anxiety is hitting you, and that's the worst part because
(27:55):
it comes sometimes when things are going good and you
can't understand why. That's been my own experience. It's after
I have taken care of or dealt with a stressful
situation and you think you're over it, but your brain
is still focusing on it without you even realizing it,
sending you positive energy.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
That's beautiful, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Angel I love it.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It's a really good thought too.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
It feels like that like maybe my body didn't release
all of that right away and it's still there.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
It's almost like things like that get shoved to the
back when you're actually dealing with the situation, and then
the aftershock is what kind of right where it all
comes to fruition.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
You carry everything right, is it getting I mean you
said it's better today, so you can notice it. It's
having a.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Good day today. Yeah, I'm aware. Honestly, talking about it
kind of helped me release it. I wasn't going to
just carry around that this was happening to me without
sharing it, you know. I told Murphy about it. Anxious,
So we.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Had a cathartic after the show podcast.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, so if you are feeling it and you can't
figure out why, have a safe place, a safe space,
somebody to talk to about it, but then do the
other things. And earlier we had a recommendation. Jackie sent
a recommendation about a book. It's called Free from Fears.
I looked it up. It's two different authors, the New
Help for Anxiety, panic, and agoraphobia. Oh so that's what
(29:19):
that book is called and what it was about. And
it's an older book, but she said it helped to
our a lot. So I wanted to get that out
there for you. I wanted to give you some ideas
of some things to binge this summer, things that are
on streaming services that are looking pretty good. First of all,
we talked about this a couple of weeks ago, and
it's now on Netflix, this psychological series called I Will
(29:43):
Find You.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Her name is David Burrows.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
I'm currently serving the life sentence for killing my little boy.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Well that's freaky.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
The word is though he didn't do it. He says
he didn't do it. He's wrongly imprisoned for it. And
it looks like the sun might actually be a line.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
So this was a Harlan Cobyn book.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's Harlan Coben because everything author everything they advertise for
this series, it's Harlan and Cobn's.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
That's because Netflix has had success. There have been other
series that have done really well with his books. So
if you want a good read, look for Harlan. Harlan
are you watching this?
Speaker 2 (30:19):
So you're watching this? I watched the first episode, and
the first like fifteen minutes there were more twists and
turns than a cheap garden hose. I swear, Oh that's good.
They threw this action and oh my god, as you're
getting used to that, they throw this action.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
It's like, ugh, is it one of those things you
can't wait to get home and watch this next episode.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, yeah, I wish I could have watched the second one, but.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Now go home today and watch it. That's all I
want from a series is something I can't resist, something
to look forward to, Murphy. You know, it's true, I
don't have time to binge anything now, but I want
it to for summer. To give you some ideas. There's
also on Netflix right now. There's a big buzz about
this Jennifer Lopez film right now called office Romance. For
work is something that you have to endure. But for
(31:02):
me running this airline, this is the best part. You
can believe that she runs an airline, which you can
believe she runs anything, and it's an office romance somebody
who ends up working for her, and there's a whole
love thing that's doing well.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
There were rumors that they were actually kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
They both said, yeah, they had that on screen chemistry.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Brett Goldstein, he's from Ted very funny.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
See, I didn't recognize him because I'm not a Ted
last O person. Okay, thank you, Sam. There's also one
that looks like true crime, that looks like a docu
series that I don't think my heart can handle, but
if you love it, it's called maternal instinct.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
So are you saying this is a true story.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
It looks like it's a true story. Yeah. And also
we have this. It's not really a rom com, but
it's this beautiful story that everybody's loving. If you wanted
something that make your heart fill with joy, it's called voicemails.
For Isabelle, just random girl has been leaving voicemails on
my new Workzell. They're for her sister, Ye, for Girls
(32:05):
for Ladies and Sam. These are the hot binges for
summer twenty twenty six.
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choty Weekend Show podcast, highlighting
some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Jody, you would share with us that Anya Taylor Joy
is going to be and she's been added to the
cast of the new Lord of the Rings. Whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
There's a newly created elf and she's it in the movie.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You know, there's an upcoming movie. Is what it is?
And which where are we in this series?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I don't know. I don't know. I just know it's
a big series because it's not what I follow. But
I wanted to bring the news.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, you know whenever I bring up Star Wars and
basically I can feel eyes rolling because I'm a Star
Wars nerd.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Oh, you assume that eyes are rolling.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
When you started talking about Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah, that's where were your eyes were or not?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The nerds actually have nerds, oh, because when you started
talking about Lord.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Of the Ring, it's ultimate nerd, it's higher nerd.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, and she's been added as an elf.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Actually, And if you had to, if you asked me
to rate the nerds, you know, the fandom nerds, I
would put Star Trek at the top. Yeah. I don't
know why because I probably because I'm less interested in
that than anything.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
But see, for me, out of all of them, it's
it's the only one that I actually got into for
a while.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Can I not know that?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I don't know if it' it's the Hokies nineteen sixties
take you know, or whatever. But I just never got
into Star Wars, have never gotten into the Lord of
the Rings kind of. It didn't get into you know,
Game of Thrones either. Say you know, I'm kind of
an outsider in all of those universes.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, I know, Sorry, you're not a nerd, or they're.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
All just part of the same universe.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Well, they're all kind of you know, a lot of
the times they take the old stories and just rework them,
like I've seen, Oh god, this is gonna get nerdy.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
People that actually delve into Star Wars and how it's
based on mythological characters from you know, mythology. It's the
same story over and over. We just change the names.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And a lot of antagonists. Every story has a protagonist,
that's true, and a lot of andever you have has
a villain.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, and there's a lot of people, there's a lot
of great stories with a parental issue, our child with
parental uh, needing to understand self. It's about you know, self, identity.
It's about identity.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
That's the Disney theme right there.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, mother, Yeah, and then Bambi's mother.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah no no, But so you are you saying that?
Where do you think Star Wars nerds land? Because Star
Wars is probably the most accepted loved franchise.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Order of the Rings is more nerdy than anything. It's
very very nerds. There's elves and fairies and trolls and
orcs and.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, well, hey, you know what, if you want to
let us know, you know what you think is the
nerd hierarchy of nerds, you want to hear it? Eight
seven seven three one zero four m s J Calling
all nerds. Got an email here from Justin to Murphy
Salmon Jody dot com. Hey, guys, want to comment about
beautiful Champ and the fresh food which Murphy fed Champ
(03:07):
the first tube.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, that just makes it sound bad, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
We changed his food.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, he gets a tube of food every day from.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
The dry food because he's getting older in his gums
and I want him to have better food on the way.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, you just wanted it to be more tasty. And
how's it going. They're both blowing. Both of our dogs
are blowing off the dry food. It's like, forget feeding
them any of that. They're eating around it good.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Okay, Justin says, want to comment about that the fresh food.
I don't know if you can, but consider popping his
portion in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
I do this for my elderly cat when it comes
to his what hey, it's it's okay. People get to
treat their animals the way they want. I do this
for my elderly cat when it comes to his wet food.
(03:53):
I feel like it makes it more appetizing and easier
on digestion. Always as always loved the show. Justin, you
are precious for that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know what that's That's probably very true because if
it's got any fat compounds, those things softened.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
They need to break down.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
And you had me leave it at room temperature, which
is exactly what I did. And you know I love
the dogs. But this is where I'm drawing another line.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yes, well you won't microwave it. I want you to
at least get it to room temp.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
We've just graduated from eating from a bag off the floor. Yeah,
you know, it's I think we're good with room temp.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
She never ate off off the floor. No, okay, thank you,
Justin You're precious.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I got one here from Gary. Hi, Gary, same topic here. Hey, Jody, Hey,
I wanted to tell you I started feeding my dog
Deli Fresh food. It's refrigerated. Oh well, Gary, you need
a microwave it. It's refrigerated. I get it at Costco
or Sam's or at the local pet store.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I think it's a little expensive, but she eats it
more than she does the dry dog food.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Course.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Sounds like she's picking it out too.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I mean, I really think it happens. Once you give
them this, they're not going backwards.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, well that's the point.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
These dogs are thirteen years old. They're not going backwards
in any way, shape or for.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Gary says she's only seven years old and her teeth
are getting bad, so the doctor suggested putting her on
Deli Fresh food.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
That makes sense, because again, if they can't chew the
dry stuff. I get that our dogs aren't quite there yet.
But you know, yeah, thank you God, they're apparently never
going to get there. Love hearing from you all soft food.
From this point at.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Forward, you can always join us also eight seven seven
three one zero four MSJ Morning pick me up time.
We're going to celebrate Grandma Drawnniac. Do you know who
she is? Have you heard of her?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I do know.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
She's famous on TikTok and other social media platforms. She
has millions of followers. She has posted up her dating rules,
she has posted up her funeral rules.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And she's ninety six years old, and lately she's gone
viral again because she lives in a nursing home in
Connecticut and they have threatened to kick her out for
partying too hard, and so she shares that with social media.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Here she is, I'm getting kicked out of the nursing home.
I just got this letter. It says you're getting kicked
out if you don't stop the party. You could read it.
Parties are not allowed and you cannot serve alcohol to
other residence. Letters serves as a form form of warning.
(06:28):
I could do what I want.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
She lived the letter and said I can do what
I want.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
She really is. She puts on lipstick, she puts on makeup,
and she rolls out and I say that she's in
a wheelchair. She rolls out and she invites you know,
she lives there in like a little mini apartment. It's
her thing, and she pays to live there. And yeah,
she's known as a really good time and she invites
other residents over and they drink and they gossip.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
She's like, we're here to drink and gossip and you know,
and then she in the next video, she even stated
exactly why she is going to stay.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I pay twelve dollars a month to live here. I
could party if I want. My girlfriends are coming over tonight.
We're going to drink and gossip. It's not a party,
but we do get rowdy. I can't help it. I
love to party. You can't stop me.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Wow, Yeah, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The knock at the door there to get for them
to take her out.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Well, the knock at the door for probably a girlfriend
coming over to party house. She was doing this, I
howly suggest you follow her. She is putting on lipstick
and brushing her hair and reading the letter and tearing
it up. And she also has a T shirt on
that says it has arrows pointing up eyes up here guys.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
She is hysteric.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Her real name is Lilian. She is ninety six. You
guys know what a throwback vacation is.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
No, I've never heard of that.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
We met them. We've done them without realizing it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Going back in time, or going back and reliving your
favorite vacation.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Going back, trying to recapture a vacation from your childhood
with your current family, scheduling something that would mirror like
you know, first of all, Murphy, you know, I know
you're going to bring up the botched camping trip that
I forced on the family, the big family.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
It's fun, though I have happy memories of it.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You do, I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, okay, the cabin was kind of dirty.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, that's the worst thing for me. I had to
clean upon arrival.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, CoA, Murphy's happy memory might be going home.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well anyway, Yeah, I had one fantastic camping trip when
I was little, and that year we wanted to do
everything on a budget. I suggested we do that to
the same campground and it was our girls were just
crying ready to go home.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well the fishing, the fishing wasn't that great. Phoebe lost
her fishing.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Pole for Barbie fishing pole.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, but then was retrieved by another camper, so that
that was a pop positive.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I actually fished it out.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I did go a little Clark Griswold on us that
year two because we got you and I got bicycles
to go along with the girls bicycles and I because
we were going to go riding through the parks.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I rode. We did anyway, there was green algae in
the pools. I forgot about that, all right. We also
have done it right though. We have done plenty of
little beach visits that are very reminiscent to your.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
My family vacations which were only that right, one beach,
one place.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, but and we went. I went to the Smoky
Mountains with my family once as a summer vacation, and
we tried to relieve that and it was the best. Right.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
We've done the Smokies a number of times and it's
always great.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
What about you, Sam, Have you ever scheduled a throwback
trip of throwback vacation where you're actually you don't even
know why you're doing it, but I'm telling you you're trying
to recapture No nothing really, Oh you should didn't. Your
dad used to take you to tours or brewery tours.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, I can't do ken.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
There's no point in doing that.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yes you could, I mean you're educationally yes, but.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
What about if it was an alcohol free beer.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I'm not interested in breweries. I've seen them all.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Your dad cured you of that. Huh okay, they say
you're doing it. It brings back happy times. It's good
for your mental health, as long as it doesn't go
like our camping trip. And if there's too much going
on in the world for you, if you were overwhelmed
with just what's going on in the world, or your
life has become to tech or whatever it's, you know,
you want to recapture something and you want to go
(10:31):
back to a time before you had all.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
This adult stress algae in the swimming pool.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Join the conversation anytime. Eight seven seven three one zero four. Ms. Jay,
love hearing from you, and we are still hearing about
the sweet treats that you give your older dogs just
to spoil them, since we are in spoil mode at
home with our champ. By the way, for I gave
him peanut butter for the first time in his life
the other night, and I made them say of putting
(11:00):
it on a spoon instead of just my finger. He tried,
he smelled it, and he went He tried to grab
the whole spoon. Bless him. So I took it off
the spoon and let him just look it off my
finger and he loved it.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
He didn't take off your finger. Huh.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
No, he would never. He would never, Okay, so Noel
sent this. We gave our fourteen year old Irish setter
two dog cups of ice cream every day. You can
buy it in the freezer section of the grocery store.
It's dog ice cream.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I would go home for lunch and spend time with
him and give him the ice cream before I left,
and he got the he got the second one after dinner.
We did this for a year and a half.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh, that's really sweet.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
And she sent us a picture of him gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I take it.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
This is doggy safe, non dairy kind of Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I've never seen it dog ice cream in the grocery store,
but I've seen it at the pet store. Yeah, dog
ice cream. I wonder what it tastes like. I'm not
going to eat it, but I just wonder. But yeah,
don't give a dog don't give a dog regular ice cream? Right,
that would be a.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I wouldn't do that situation.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Backyard situation. Okay from Murphy Saman Jody dot com an
email that came to you, Sam, this is front Well, okay,
it's too it's it's for you to answer, John synth this.
I just have to ask where Sam got that the
cover of that old song that Ella Langley did on
her on her porch. I can't find it, and it
(12:23):
reminded me of being young my grandmother.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Is she did wasted days and wasted nights.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It was just an Instagram post though, right, that's where
you're gonna find it at Instagram.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Look up Ella Langley on Instagram. That's where it'll be.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
John. It sounds like you're an ello fella.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, and that was what about a week or two ago.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It was a couple of weeks week ago.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
So look back aways in her calendar.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Just go to find her on Instagram and just you'll enjoy.
She's fun and.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
This she does a bunch of songs, so you'll find
others on there too.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Okay, there you go, John, join us anytime. If you're
not naturally a morning person, but you need to be
because life, you know the world. If you get a
job and the hours are earlier than what you're used to,
you might struggle with that. So how to become a
morning person if you are not. One of the number
(13:16):
one things is to get some light exposure into your
day early, as early as possible. Let the light in.
It messes with it helps your rhythms, Katie and rhythm.
Do you know that when my mom was in the
hospital and as she used to be on a she
would stay up all night. She'd stay up really late
and sleep late. And that's not how it goes in
(13:36):
hospital life. Like they roll into that room at seven
and they're doing rounds and stuff, and they would open
the windows and say, we need to let some light
in because you know, get her on a schedule, so
let the light in. Make a deliberate sleeping and waking schedule,
Like just decide you're going to get up at six
or whatever it is, you're going to go to bed
(13:56):
at ten, whatever it is that you decide for yourself
how many hours you actually want of sleep, and then
set the alarm. You have to kind of be intentional
about you won't become a morning person without trying. If
you're not naturally.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Have they ever done studies to prove that you can
make yourself or make someone become a morning person.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
They've done a part of.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Your makeup that you're never going to be a morning person.
You can be trained.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I can tell you from my personal experience that when
I was in college, I was not a morning person.
I was the typical, typical college schedule. But I and
I thought that was my general makeup. I thought that
was something I was stuck with and obviously not. You know,
I wake up like a bolt of lightning in the morning.
You love it. So I think it's what you do,
you have, it's all these things that you can do.
(14:45):
You think you're naturally a morning person or no? Because
Murphy is I think a night out.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, and I mean on and off over the years,
I've been a night out and I get this like
second win thing that I can't shut my brain off.
And and I know that what we do starts very well.
We it starts before the sun comes up. So the
only light you can let in is one you turn
it off.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
So light. Yeah, if you're doing it and you're trying
and it's hard for you, make sure there's some positivity
in your morning routine, your favorite coffee or petting the
dog or something lovely like a meditation. Yeah, make sure
there's a reward for you putting your feet on that floor.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Oh, I gotta go to work.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Do it early. And then the last most important piece
of advice, and these are from experts, and it's hard, murph,
but keep it as consistent on the weekend as you can.
If you're getting up at six, it doesn't mean you
have to do six, but maybe push it to seven,
no later than eight on the weekend so that your
body knows what you were trying to tell it to do.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
That could be the very toughest one of all.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Jokey, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Social media connect Jody Jody, Jody, Jody Jody, these comments
are for you this morning, March Socials. You actually had
mentioned about anxiety and it kind of comes out of nowhere?
Was that in our after the show podcast that we
did that?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, we did a whole We didn't just mention it.
We did a soul bearing after the show podcast about
my anxiety.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I just couldn't remember if it was here in the
show or in the podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Came because of your mom in the hospital, and well,
even after she's home now, you're still feeling it.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah. While while she was in the hospital, I felt
like I was really ramped up, and I remember having
days where anxiety. But it's been since then. She's home
now and she's doing really well, and I can't believe
that when it comes, I can't believe it. You know,
I'm trying to learn to deal with it.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Well, you suggested the three three three thing in the podcast,
which is touched three things here, three things smell three.
I don't something like that.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, I'm so glad you're in it with me.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'm totally with you.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I just it was a method to managing anxiety.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Grounding yourself in the pressure.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Three things you can see, three things you can hear,
like a podcast or a bird chirping or somebody speaking,
or in three things you can move like roll your shoulders,
wiggle your fingers. Just a way to put yourself in
the present and not let anxiety in the what if
scenarios take you over.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well, Clint posted here. I know this may sound out
of the norm, but what helps my anxiety stress is
a nice walk on a trail in the woods by myself,
and sometimes I even try to find an open area
in the woods, put a blanket down, laid down on
it for a bit, and just listen to nature and
what surrounds me. I hope you overcome this. Best wishes,
Thank you, Clint.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I think I will overcome this. I think this is temporary.
Although anxiety is a part of life for everyone, at times,
I've not been getting my typical nature walks that I
used to do every night, just because life is busy
right now, work and life and visiting my mom every
day and sort of trying it to help take care
of her. So yeah, thank you, Clint.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I have one here from Jackie. She says, I've had
anxiety and panic attacks since my daddy passed away thirty
three years ago. Oh, they are awful, But I came
across a book Free from Fears, and it's a game changer. Yeah.
I can't remember the author, but I can tell you
it definitely helped me. I still have them, but they're
fewer and far further between. I'll be sending up prayers
(18:10):
for you.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Thank you, Jackie, and thanks to everybody who has commented
on that. And you can always go back and listen
to you after the show. Podcast apparently Murphy needs to know.
It's okay anyway, anywhere you get your podcasts, just search Murphy,
Sam and Jody. What is a career a job that
you think sounds so great? Like, what has been romanticized
(18:33):
to you?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
For you?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Is it an astronaut?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Sam Radio? Okay, yeah, astronaut is romanticized heroes. You look,
they're going to the moon in the.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Space that probably that job probably is all it's cracked
up to be, although the training is no joke, no
and not easy.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
You know, when you say romanticized, I like secret agents
kind of had that allure. That's where you had that
whole thing in the sixties and James Bond and so you.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Know, totally. Look, I have a friend whose best friend
is married to a secret service agent, and the stories
we tell about this guy when we get together, what
I'm told.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Well, I mean, I'm sure she does knew a whole
lot as well. It was the same.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Okay. So the top most romanticized careers and jobs that
actually in real life are much harder. At the top
of the list is attorney, lawyer. I guess movies. In
movies and TV, it seems like they're.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Show up in the court room and you fight the case.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
That's it, right, Well, it doesn't really talk about how
many years of education it takes and then passing the
bar exam and in what your area of specialty is.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
And yeah, I've never thought that was romanticized to me.
That seems hard.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Say when you say romanticized now that you're framing it
like in terms of shows and stuff like that. I mean,
so lawyers have been that way, doctors have been so
many medical dramas.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Corract private eyes, private eyes on the list and the
top three private eye is up there. That's seemed horrible.
I knew so much getting around and following people and
reporting back horrible thing.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, I knew someone who was a private eye. Kind
of a rough lifestyle because you're not getting a whole
lot of sleep or whatever.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
In the world. Did you know somebody who's a private eye.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I don't know he knew more about me than because
he was a private eye.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Romanticized magnum p I oh, right, of course. You know,
living in Hawaii driving a Ferrari.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
That's television, that's TV.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Okay, nineteen eighties romanticism.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Bartender on the list. It's hard work, pleasing all those
people and the longer the night goes, the more drunk
they get.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's hart story.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I guess you do chef on the List?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Ah yeah, oh yeah, it's a hard job.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
It is a hard job. That's a lifestyle, and you
probably don't get the glory, you know, you you really
have to love that to work in a kitchen.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I would say, well, the and that's not the perfectly
accurate representation. But the harder side of that has been
the series that you and I haven't finished yet, Jodie.
We got all of one episode.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Two episodes and wrapped up already. To the veterinarian on
the list for sure, that's a hard life. And pilot
on the list, yeah, just.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
The hours you put in. It's a pilot.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Never home. Just remember everything is harder than it looks,
even astronauts. Sam, you're the food dude. Do you know
of any secret menu items? Because there are secret menu
items at big fast food places.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I know most of the fast food places have them. Yeah,
it's just stuff that you know how to order that
they don't put on the menu.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
So I don't know any of that, none of them.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I mean I can look at the screen and say,
you know what I for.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
But I read about them in the stories when I'm
looking for it, But you've never tried to order one. No,
I'm good with what's on the menu.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Last time you were sick and you had like a
head cold, I ordered for you. I went to Starbucks
and I got you a I ordered medicine ball tea.
I even do it like, I'm like, do you have
medicine ball tea? Like it's a secret code, and she
was like sure, and then she typed it in as
on the screen. It came back as like a citrus
honey lemon, yeah. Something.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I don't think they advertise it as that.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
No, it's actually that.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
That's probably the only quote unquote secret menu item. I'm
a worker because I've ordered it.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
You would like this Murphy at Arby's if you order
the Meat Mountain. It's a towering sandwich which includes every
single meat they offer roast, beef, brisket, turkey, ham, corned beef,
chicken tenders, bacon, and cheddar cheese.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Well, I might have to try that to see if
it works.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
How tall is I don't know if you.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Can order it. It's a meat mountain, Sam, I.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Think you're taking your chances, because what if you have
somebody new who doesn't know what the meat mountain is?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Well, just try it out. I think it's worth trying, right, Hey,
can I do a meat mountain? And if they say,
excuse me, sir, I don't know what and then you're.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Gonna be you gonna have to eat it with a fork.
But still you can order that. The word is that
Starbucks has another one, butter beer frappuccino.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh really, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Their cream frappuccino bass caramel syrup and toffee and finished
with a caramel drizzle. Tastes like butter beer.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
But interesting.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
McDonald's has some the Halsh Brown McMuffin. Now, if they don't,
don't give it to you. That way, you could order
a hash brown and a McMuffin and make it yourself.
You toss out the bread and you in other words,
you eat what's inside of an egg McMuffin with two
hash browns on the outside of it. But you can
order it. And most they say most McDonald's knows they
know what it is. Most people know to go okay,
(23:16):
you might get up charged, so be it. You're trying
to be secretive.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I was thinking that a little greasy there.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Well, you have to eat in the car. You could
do this stuff anyway. You could order the two hash
Browns and just.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Just take a hash brown and shove it in the
middle with I don't know, but I do know. I
need to figure out how I can drive with a
meat mountain.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I can't drive with it. Of course, McDonald's you can
also apparently order the Land, Sea and Air Burger. It's
a three deck or burger. It's like a big mac.
That's the beef. There's a mc chicken patty on it
in a file of fish. So Land Lancy and Lancy
and Air Burgers what that one's called. And finally, as
(23:56):
a taco bell, if you order the Incredible Hulk, you'll
get their regular Instead of sauce, you'll get a bunch
of extra gualk. It's a greenish s burrito.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Have fun this summer, guys. We've had such a beautiful
and overwhelming response on our social media pages about Champ,
our thirteen year old rescue dog, my boyfriend dog, and
the dreamiest dog we've ever had, not saying a lot
murph about you know what we posted and have shared
here that he is in decline and along with our vet,
(24:29):
we have decided to make him super comfortable whether he
lives three more months or three more years. And we
had shared that because he did have a medical emergency.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, I mean it was an episode. It was one
of those where we've had enough dogs. We're thinking this,
this might be it. Yeah, and somehow, and maybe it's
because of all the comments and the well wishes, but
I mean he's back. Is he literally is back to
what he was now. He's still old and he's still
sleeping a lot, but he his personality is back again.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
He's not trying to get me to take him on
walks anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
That's a yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
But we started spoiling him, as was our plan with
the vet. So the boy is eating peanut butter at night.
Last the other night, he had three of my five
chicken nuggets from my kid's meal.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Guess what he won't eat anymore now, food dog three food.
So we put that at the ball and he's like,
he's looking up and.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, don't you remember I'm not feeling well.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, right, it's.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Just it's lovely and funny. So we decided last night,
I really do mean thank you because everybody's checking on Champ.
Someone sent in that he's America's dog. He's all of
our dogs really is.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
That's sweet. He's the most humanlike dog we've ever had.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
He so is, and so he's liking all this. I
don't know if he's back because of the peanut butter
and the chicken nuggets and all the spoiling and all
the extra you're the best boy in the world talks.
But so we decided last night that we're going to
we're going to switch his food. We're going to upgrade
his food. We're not going to continue to feed him
fast food.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Jody wants to experiment with some thing that we've not
done before.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, the fresh food, the fresh fresh dog food.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah. That looks like a big sausage. You just slice
off a hunk of it, throw all chubs of ground
meat there.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, So he and Sparky are going to switch to
that because Sparky's not young either. You know, Sparky just
thinks he's young. Sparky's like twelve years old.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Come on, you don't want to have fun and just
feed it to him and make Sparky mad.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
No. In fact, Sparky's been getting nuggets and peanut butter too. Oh,
but I just want to thank everybody.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
For the love.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Cassandra sent this. My childhood dog was leaving us, and
I remember my mom making him rice and chicken or
hamburger for his meals. We definitely spoiled him in his
last days, Steven said, we did the same for our
docs and back in twenty thirteen in his last days,
we gave him ice cream and eminem's all that he wanted. Ooh, anyway,
(26:49):
so we're gonna slow our roll in the candy. They
were going to the raw dog food to day. On
the subject of anxiety, we all feel it at times.
Of course, we did this whole after the Show podcast
the other day about some anxiety that's been really hitting
me lately and taking over and I can't believe, and
we shared it.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Mostly because of your mom's surgery and managing through that.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
But she's home now and she's better now. That's why
I couldn't understand, Like why now I do want to
say that I'm better this week. It's midweek now, but
earlier this week I couldn't believe it was still happening,
physically happening. Angels sent this comment I have to share, Jody,
I struggle with anxiety, and what I know to be
true is that while you were in the hospital with
(27:32):
your mom, you had her physically in front of you,
and all of your attention was on her. Now that
she is home and you aren't there to see her
and watch her, your mind is now releasing the anxiety
that you probably had, but at the time we're too
focused on her to let it have control. You said
on the show that now that she is home, this
anxiety is hitting you, and that's the worst part because
(27:55):
it comes sometimes when things are going good and you
can't understand why. That's been my own experience. It's after
I have taken care of or dealt with a stressful
situation and you think you're over it, but your brain
is still focusing on it without you even realizing it,
sending you positive energy.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
That's beautiful, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Angel I love it.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It's a really good thought too.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
It feels like that like maybe my body didn't release
all of that right away and it's still there.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
It's almost like things like that get shoved to the
back when you're actually dealing with the situation, and then
the aftershock is what kind of right where it all
comes to fruition.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
You carry everything right, is it getting I mean you
said it's better today, so you can notice it. It's
having a.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Good day today. Yeah, I'm aware. Honestly, talking about it
kind of helped me release it. I wasn't going to
just carry around that this was happening to me without
sharing it, you know. I told Murphy about it. Anxious,
So we.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Had a cathartic after the show podcast.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, so if you are feeling it and you can't
figure out why, have a safe place, a safe space,
somebody to talk to about it, but then do the
other things. And earlier we had a recommendation. Jackie sent
a recommendation about a book. It's called Free from Fears.
I looked it up. It's two different authors, the New
Help for Anxiety, panic, and agoraphobia. Oh so that's what
(29:19):
that book is called and what it was about. And
it's an older book, but she said it helped to
our a lot. So I wanted to get that out
there for you. I wanted to give you some ideas
of some things to binge this summer, things that are
on streaming services that are looking pretty good. First of all,
we talked about this a couple of weeks ago, and
it's now on Netflix, this psychological series called I Will
(29:43):
Find You.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Her name is David Burrows.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
I'm currently serving the life sentence for killing my little boy.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Well that's freaky.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
The word is though he didn't do it. He says
he didn't do it. He's wrongly imprisoned for it. And
it looks like the sun might actually be a line.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
So this was a Harlan Cobyn book.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's Harlan Coben because everything author everything they advertise for
this series, it's Harlan and Cobn's.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
That's because Netflix has had success. There have been other
series that have done really well with his books. So
if you want a good read, look for Harlan. Harlan
are you watching this?
Speaker 2 (30:19):
So you're watching this? I watched the first episode, and
the first like fifteen minutes there were more twists and
turns than a cheap garden hose. I swear, Oh that's good.
They threw this action and oh my god, as you're
getting used to that, they throw this action.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
It's like, ugh, is it one of those things you
can't wait to get home and watch this next episode.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, yeah, I wish I could have watched the second one, but.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Now go home today and watch it. That's all I
want from a series is something I can't resist, something
to look forward to, Murphy. You know, it's true, I
don't have time to binge anything now, but I want
it to for summer. To give you some ideas. There's
also on Netflix right now. There's a big buzz about
this Jennifer Lopez film right now called office Romance. For
work is something that you have to endure. But for
(31:02):
me running this airline, this is the best part. You
can believe that she runs an airline, which you can
believe she runs anything, and it's an office romance somebody
who ends up working for her, and there's a whole
love thing that's doing well.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
There were rumors that they were actually kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
They both said, yeah, they had that on screen chemistry.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Brett Goldstein, he's from Ted very funny.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
See, I didn't recognize him because I'm not a Ted
last O person. Okay, thank you, Sam. There's also one
that looks like true crime, that looks like a docu
series that I don't think my heart can handle, but
if you love it, it's called maternal instinct.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
So are you saying this is a true story.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
It looks like it's a true story. Yeah. And also
we have this. It's not really a rom com, but
it's this beautiful story that everybody's loving. If you wanted
something that make your heart fill with joy, it's called voicemails.
For Isabelle, just random girl has been leaving voicemails on
my new Workzell. They're for her sister, Ye, for Girls
(32:05):
for Ladies and Sam. These are the hot binges for
summer twenty twenty six.
