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):
Most women have shapewear. You know, when I was a
little girl, my grandmother wore a girdle and I remember
it's the original. Well, probably way before that would be
a course courset, thank you, tie it in the bag,
fucking in. But shapewear has come a long way and
you can buy shapewear almost anywhere now. Like I'm rolling
(00:30):
into Walmart to pick up coffee and I'm checking a detour.
It's like there's shapewear and it looks good.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Is that surprising though?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
No? I love I love that there's a million kinds.
But guess what. You can make mistakes with shapewear, just
like you can with any fashion. We all have mistakes
hanging in our closet. So the biggest mistakes that women
make with shapewear, I guess men who wear it too.
Assuming that it shouldn't be called shapewear, it should be
called smooth waar because the point is to smooth things out.
(00:57):
It's not gonna actually change. If you are a size ten,
you're not gonna be an eight because of shapewear just
you can't and so don't buy a smaller size.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well that makes sense to me. That's like squeeze in
a balloon, right, I mean, yeah, it's gonna.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Move, it's gonna go somewhere. It's gonna come out at
the top of your dress. If your waist is perfect
and you don't want to.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, I'll admit I have a shapewear shirt.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Good And let's hear about it. Did you buy that?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I never warn it?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I haven't needed it yet. I'm saving it for a date.
But when I it on, it does swim a little
or smooth a little, but it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Eliminate all the natural body unless you're eighteen years old
and you are you know, anomaly. The natural body has moved,
you know, has bulges and gravity. Yeah, yeah, so it
smooths things out. But you should buy it in your size.
You should try. Here's another thing. Don't just buy it
and bring it home. Try it on with the outfit,
(01:55):
like with the gown that you're gonna wear it with
or the dress, so that you know it because you
don't want it bulging and pinching in places that show. Oh,
she's got shape wear on there. You know you're not
really supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It can actually show the shapewear.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You're wearing it incorrectly. Yeah, because you see the little
you can see the places.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
To make sure you try it on with your gown, please.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Another another mistake that people make with shapewear is it's
not meant for prolonged use. You're not supposed to wear
it for days. You're not supposed to sleep well. Hopefully
you can breathe in it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's a different kind of feeling.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's a different kind of you know what I like
about it helps it. It makes me sit up more straight.
I'm gonna wear that.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I never put it on. Maybe I should try it sometimes.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You would not probably enjoy it. The main thing is
having unrealistic expectations. It does not make you a size smaller.
It does smooth out and hopefully kind of it sort
of sucks you in a bit, but by your size
or higher. Don't go lower, all right?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Social media connect.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Emails rolling into Murphy, Samon Jody dot com and messages
messages on social This is from Megan Hi he Dear
Jody and Murphy. How do you not constantly crack up
at Sam's side comments and jokes.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Actually, we do what you think.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
We're so happy. Almost every day there is something that
Sam slips in that has me giggling and messing up
my makeup while getting ready, and you guys move on
like it's nothing. How she says, how love you guys
from Megan. You know that is so sweet, and you're right.
(03:37):
I guess we do sort of move on because we
have to. But you do crack us up every day,
and I am grateful for it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You know. It's funny about what Meghan says. It's like
we will do something and I'll slip one of those
singers in, and She's right. There are times where y'all
just keep going, carrying on and then when we go
back and like watch the video of.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
It, Yeah, it loves Sam said, I guess we should
have done that during the show.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah recently, just the other day, you're like five second delay.
You know, sometimes it happens that way. But you know,
we don't take you for granted.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I will say that I think our brains are un
fast forward sometimes.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, we're used to you, for sure, but I don't
think I'll take you for granted because I don't. I
can't tell you. And I'm glad. Megan sent this how
many times? And I'm not trying to embarrass you, Sam,
but how many times I've fought At the end of
the day, I'm so glad that we laugh as much
as we do and we all make each other laugh.
But Sam, you're the king of it.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, And it's not just you guys either. I mean,
I think it's because I can't keep my mouth shut
with that kind of stuff, that it's just so much
that you can't. Yeah, because it happens with family members
and friends.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
They're always throwing something out.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, it's always. I mean, since day one that I
met you, that's exactly what has been. It's been. It's
been a riot.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Don't think we don't sometimes just laugh at home and
have little side combos about here what Sam said it.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, it used to really irritate my first wife. She
used to say, why don't you marry Sam?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You heard that one?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Then Laura sent this, Hey, Murphy, Sam and Jody, I'm
the bus driver who emailed you about how I listened
to the show every morning with the kids. Jody, I
made the cabbage roll soup and it's the best recipe
I've ever had for it. High school students begged me
to bring some, but I don't think that would be
clean on the bus. It would be too messy. Also,
(05:29):
the second part of this email is for Sam. I
hope you find a rescue dog soon. Oh yeah, and
thanks Murphy, Sam and Jody for keeping a smile on
my face truly. Laura C. Bus driver number twelve.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Well, thank you Laura.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Last week, while Murphy was out of town, Sam and
I we went to this like business lunch and we
had to go to it. I forgot to pay attention.
Did you wear your man shape wear?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Sam?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Under your Did you wear it?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I forgot to notice did you try it on?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I was gonna wear it because I know I said
I was going to. But then it's like, well, I
have to be all day at work and then all
day just this conference and ask like.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You didn't have you You don't have to commit to
a whole day. I know you have a fear of
it and all, but like, why don't you just wear
it for an hour and take it off?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Then?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Oh, okay, we need to pay attention.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
You'll know.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
We were talking about, you know, mistakes that people make
in shapewear, like buying a size too small just because
you wanted to give you a smaller thing. It's really
smooth were it's meant to smooth you and sort of
suck you in, But don't go smaller things like that.
And we learned that Sam has a shapewear shirt. Yes,
we've never seen you in it. Kelly sent this to
(06:42):
our Facebook messenger. I used to work at a maiden
Form store. Oh, I would love to talk to you, Kelly,
and we had men coming in buying waste shapewear. Their
doctor would recommend it as back support, cheaper and less
bulky than braces. I have never heard that in all
(07:04):
of my life, and I think it's wonderful info.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Now that you're saying it that way. I mean, I
guess in theory then compression shocks sucks would be shapewear,
even though that's not what they're intended to do. Yeah,
they are. I mean that's exactly what they are. They're
they're they're tight, and they they smooth everything out. It's
to keep blood from pooling.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I guess at your ankle, right, shapewear is not about
your People are not wearing shapewear for circulation reasons.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Well, right, But what I'm saying is if a doctor's
recommending it for a back, it's the same thing to
mean the same concept. It's squeezing you, just as a
different name.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
But what is waste shapewear? Is that like your belly
and and down your thighs.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well for men, I don't I don't know about men's shapewear,
but it sounds like, think what a back brace is.
It just goes around that.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And that makes sense to me because right, because if
you have a belly on you, that tends to draw
you forward right exactly and causes the backstrain. So I
can see that. Yeah, it's almost similar to you know,
I guess you could wear one of these if you
want to, like the things everybody wears at home depot,
you know, with the shoulders and all that back lifting.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, yeah, all right, thank you, Kelly. I'm sure Murphy
and Sam are now going to be at the Maiden
Fold store.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I highly recommend that you have a birthday party for
a dog who is the love of your life, because
we did it.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
It was fun.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Champ is thirteen years old and so it was very short.
I think we spent maybe ten fifteen minutes. But I
bought him a blue bandana, and on that bandana I
put a button that says it's my birthday.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's sweet. You can see the pictures on our social.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Correct And I thought about it and thought about it.
I didn't want to give him cake, any kind of cake, really,
because of his tummy issues of late. So he does
really love popcorn, and when I eat popcorn, I'll throw
him a corner or two. So we let him have
a bowl, a small bowl of some popcorn. But I
(08:57):
also found at a pet store a bone shaped dog
treat that's like it says happy Birthday on it. It
was baked by a dog bakery.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah. I was going to ask you why I didn't
have Champs name on it, but I was, okay, we
don't need to go that far.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Do you know it's finicky as he is, Murphy, I
thought he wouldn't eat that. He went after that.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, he loved that, Honestly, he kind of At first
he was tentative about the popcorn and then he just
was all about whatever that thing. I mean, actually I
wanted to try it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Looks Yeah, we have a little bit of it for
you of his party.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
He's eating the popcorn there. He likes some birthday popcorn.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Oh you know, I had these visions of sitting him
up in front of a table, you know, like you
would somebody in front of a cake. But he's thirteen
years old. He's happy and comfortable on his bed. So
we went to him. We were on the floor with him.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I seem perfectly content with having food brought to him,
so I no issues there.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Wrapped presents around two two little pros.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
What do you get?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
One of them was a bag of birthday cake treats,
which we didn't open yet. That's just for he gets
a treat once a day at night before he goes
to bed, so those are for him for the next
several months. And then the other thing is a squeak toy,
a hedgehog toy, which he hasn't had a toy in
a long time. And you saw how much he was
playing with it.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Murph, Yeah, you know, it's this really shows you how
much Jody looked. We all love Champ, but Jody really
loves Champ. And so the way the house was decorated
for him and the little doggie had and that it
was precious, every single bit of it. I think I
was just happy to see Jody happy about it as
Champ was to eat his little doggy bone.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
It's just somebody to wear the hat for a few minutes.
Go check it out Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, all the places,
and Happy Birthday, Champ. I mentioned it in Three Things
to Know earlier this week. It was not my favorite story,
though a lot of people think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Are you worried about the squirrels hurting themselves?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Judy? I am squirrels and vaping is a thing.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, who hasn't heard the story.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
They're not intentionally vaping.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
And nobody's selling the vapes to the squirrels right.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
No, but litter is awful and what's happening.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Is sorry, I can't sell you this. You're a squirrel,
that's my d.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
If you were to google that right now, squirrels and
vapes or whatever vaping squirrels, you would get lots of
videos from around the world. London is reporting it's a
huge problem people who vape, who discard their vape pins
when they're done with them. I don't know how it
really works, because I thought you kept it and put
an insert, but whatever. If you discard a vape pen,
(11:42):
you've littered. The baby squirrels who are just minding their
own trying to find a nut or whatever, you know,
trying to find an acorn to chew on to live.
They are attracted to the fruity scent. If you had
a cookies and cream scented pink whatever, there, they go
for them. Not just because they're there and they're colorful sometimes,
(12:02):
but they smell great to an animal, and so it's not.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Because they were used to doing lit cigarette butts in
the past. All right, this is so much better.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Okay, they pick it up in the videos they look
like they're vaping because the way they pick it up,
you know what they're like.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
But do squirrels know how to inhale?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
They can suck a not out of a shell. They
can probably get some nicotine out of a vape. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The reason I don't like is because wildlife. I knew
this was coming, and I'm so grateful that wildlife experts
have been responding with warnings about the dangers to animals
when you litter vapes, when you litter at all. We've
known about that forever it's like birds ingesting straws.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean, the animals. They didn't elect to have all
these things put in from them.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Not only is the nicotine toxic to them, there's a
little bit of nicotine left. As much as you think
you got out of that vape, the squirrel can find more.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Warning on the package. The squirrels don't.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Classic vapes have forever chemicals in them. You know all
of that. So just dispose of your vapes properly and
don't litter the beautiful world, and think about the squirrel.
I wish I knew. I couldn't do this with value.
You guys enjoying it, but it's something to be aware of.
Yes morning pick me up time, when it's time to
(13:24):
get a toy, buy a toy for a child in
your life, do not succumb to the pressure of being
too cool for school and getting the latest coolest thing,
even if you don't know what that is, because guess
what the word is. And we learned last week at
the annual Toy Fair in New York City. The top
most loved toys it's called cozy culture and it's low
(13:47):
tech toys are the most loved right now by parents,
by kids, as far as sitting down and playing in
your mind actually lighting up. It's the classic toys, you know,
feel good about buying them. We're talking about dolls, blocks, puzzles,
things you build those.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
At the lowest tech of all of them. A cardboard
box that you cut into whatever you wanted to be.
I swear I've never that was always ahead. A big
empty box seems to attract every kid. I know. That's
what it was at our house when our girls were
going on.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It cannot beat that. And it's so funny because how
many families have this dynamic going on that at the
kid's house. It's the screens and the pads. We're going
to see that in the Toy Story five movie, that
all the classic toys are competing with lily Pad, which
is such a story for our time. But how many
of us have that situation where you're home, where you
have small children, you have all the latest, greatest, and
(14:38):
then they go to grandma's house and Grandma's like, here's
a paperbag, here's a box, hey, and they have a blast.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
When Hollis comes to my house, my grandson, he goes
straight to the back and pulls out my two big
things of Legos.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Great, it's Lego time, and how long does he spend
forever until it's time to leave? Lego's part of that classic.
Even if it's you know, something new and it's bluey Lego,
it's still that classic thing.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I don't know why. Toys that your grandmothers were always
just they're better and fun. And some of it was,
you know, were the toys that belonged to your parents too.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It was like, oh, I had those old, beautiful barbies
that belonged to my mother and her sister, and they
were gorgeous and they had been played with, you know,
for a long long time. They were worn, but I
loved it. But anyway, the word is these toys encourage longer,
deeper periods of concentration. Just like when you pick up
(15:31):
your device and it's it's everything is fast food for
your brain. Everything is three seconds. That's not good for
a child's brain. It's better to foster the creativity, the
role playing, the social skills that playing with low tech
toys classic toys can bring.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That'll be just as relaxing for you to watch to
play with.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yes, take us along on the podcast anytime you want
to hang out and you miss parts of the show,
you never have to miss it. And there's also the
YouTube channel all you can subscribe to there and watch
after the show every day.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Jody, I loved your morning pick me up this morning
about you know, if you're an introvert, you don't need
to feel bad about it. It's not a negative. It's
just how yeah, right, and we're all a mix of
you know both. I realized one thing though about because
I do thrive in the social settings, I really I
enjoy being with people. It doesn't mean I know what
my downtime, but I enjoy that. But it made me
(16:26):
think about something that I really had to try hard
the other day to tell myself, you're not doing this wrong.
Both of you have kind of teased me over the
years when we've done get togethers and it takes me
forever to leave. Yeah, you want to explain that, Jody.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, he can't say goodbye like it's it's time to leave.
I'm standing there with like a coat and a purse,
and you know, Sam's already gone. He's like, right, and
we've said and we've said goodbye, and it's a it's
the person that you're saying goodbye to knows it's over
and you don't, right, Well, yeah, it's real.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Well I have there are people who tease me and
they call that that. You know that I'm the one
who rolls the credits the gathering.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Second thought, we we work with I don't remember rolling
the credits.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Again, remembering that one man. Yeah, I don't remember who
said that to me. I don't think they work with
us anymore. But it was always, you know, Murphy rolls
the credits. But you know it so get together that
I was at last week. I had to leave a
little bit early because of a flight.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Oh but that killed you.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
It did because I'm wanting to tell everybody goodbye, and
I couldn't tell everybody goodbye. I mean I were about
six or seven people. I was able to go fist
bump and you know, walked out without disturbing because the
meeting was in progress when this was going on. But
I literally had to tell myself, it's okay, you don't
have to go tell everybody in the room goodbye. But
that's just what happens to me naturally, because I enjoy
(17:48):
seeing the people that were there. I always want, just
like when I greet somebody at the beginning. I want to,
you know, do the other greeting at the end, roll
the credits.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
When I first started dating you, Murphy, all those years ago,
I remember we would go to a party or something
and I saw this in action on the front end
and the back end, and I thought, he acts like
he's the host. You're not hosting this. It's just you
being who you are. You know know that you sometimes
do need to wrap it up, but let yourself be it.
(18:20):
I've tried the signal that doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Have I told you both how much I've enjoyed doing
the show with you today? Got it?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Have you ever heard a phrase? Someone drop a phrase
or even like a sentence on you and you know
what it means, but you've never heard it before.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
What do you mean, I'm a phrase?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, I'm just going to tell you mine, and once
I say it, you'll know. I'm sure you've had it.
In the corporate world, Murphy, You're like, you hear something
about bandwidth and you know what it means.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Okay, yeah, bandwidth this the amount that somebody's able to do.
That's not important right now.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Good for you. So the other day I took our
youngest daughter phoebe pants shopping. She needs some new pants.
I'm like, I'm your girl. Let's go pants shopping. I said,
let's pick where you want to go. We'll go any store.
She said, let's start kind of gritty and let's go
thrifting first. I'm like, yeah, girl, let's do it. And
on the way there, we're having a nice mom daughter conversation.
We're going to one of our favorite places to thrift.
(19:17):
And I said, what's cool about starting here is that
we could stock up, like you could get jeans and
slacks and all this kind of stuff. And she, being
the old school, old soul that she is, she said, yeah, Mom,
but you know you got to be careful of that
thrifting blindness. And I was like, as soon as she
said those two words, I'm like, I knew exactly what
(19:39):
she meant.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
It means you're thrifting and you'll say yes to stuff
just because it's five dollars that you would never buy.
And that's how you end up with too much stuff
if you thrift a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That makes sense. When I started getting on the vinyl
kick a couple of years ago, again, I mean, it
was I started to realize finally the reason I got
rid of my original vinyl collection was because of it
takes up so much room. It's all that. So I
just dialed it back to the things that I want.
But that's easy to do. You get excited because you think, well,
there's only one of these because it's thrifted. It's not
(20:13):
like there's ten of them on the shelf.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Right, you think that there's you're never gonna have the
chance to have this again. And that's true. And it's
five dollars or seven dollars and you're like nothing, and
she's as soon as she said it now she did
go on to explain that's how you end up with
too much stuff, or you'll say yes to stuff that
you really are not in love with. You won't yeah
pass it won't pass all the tests, the normal test
you would put it through in your mind if you
(20:37):
were buying at retail. True, I know, so thank you
Phoebes for introducing me to the new term thrifting blindness
so that I don't overthrift. And by the way, she
only bought like two three things.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I was gonna ask, what was.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
The hall very few she got like one pair of
pants and she got two shirts. We were pants shopping.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
So true wasn't blinded by the thrifting.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
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. I walk into the bathroom
and there's a large dark object in the middle of
the floor.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
And they can't have an accident.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
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 a monster frog.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
In the house? Let him in? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
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 (21:48):
Okay, if they can jump.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
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 into the yard.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Nice release.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
But yeah, that's the that's the new thing. It's like,
where did he come from?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Do you have a doggy door?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
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 (22:20):
It was either that or he snuck in through the toilet.
Believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I actually did think the toilet. It's like that's how
snakes get in.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Looking in the toilet. It's not going to help you
because he's not. He didn't leave.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
You know a sign 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 (22:42):
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 (22:53):
I wasn't touching him. It's like I've seen too many
horror movies. It's like it's a poisonous frog, or he's
got teeth, or he's going to do something something to me.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
This would make a lot more sense if you 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 I've seen.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
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 (23:21):
Yeah, well you're okay, you survived it.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You want me to post a picture on Facebook?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Sure, okay, And don't leave your door open today. Is
the other thing. If there is a shirt or a
pair of jeans, or jewelry or some sort of accessory
that you love that is not in that you are
told it is old and ugly, I hope you hold
on to it. I hope you rocket if you want.
(23:46):
Because trends are trends. Who cares? I say that? Because
we touched on this and three Things to Know the
other day. It takes it's it's less time for fast
and trends to return. Now it used to be twenty years.
It would be twenty years, like something's really really hot
and get cools off and it's uncool and it stays
in a vault forever, and then a whole new generation,
two generations come go, oh, this is cool, let's start
(24:08):
rocking it again.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Something that was hot in two thousand and five or
six as would be now.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Well, yeah, it used to be that way, but now
fashion trends return in half the time and ten years,
it's faster thanks to things like social media, thanks to
just just a visual connected world that we live in.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, I mean, look, the mustache trend is back. And
Jody was really sad when I shaved mine the first time.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Well, you shocked me with it. Yeah, you didn't even
tell me, you just walked into the living room. I'm like,
who is this man?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah? But ever since then, I mean, I've dug the beard,
you know, mustache combo I've done. But I've just noticed
that's a trendyclical, right, it disappears and then it comes back.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
All trends come back, all turns. Do you guys have
any I mean I have so many that I always
rock where regardless because I think some things are classic,
and if somethings are, you you should wear them anything.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
For me, it's a gene jack and I don't know
that that's a trend. That's just that's a classic cling.
You never throw away your jean jacket.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Correct, Okay, good one. See it's good to pick a
classic for that, and Murphy your mustache very classic one.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah. I don't know that. I mean, I stay so
basic in solids. I don't know that I necessarily follow trends.
I did get rid of my sweaters from the nineties,
you know, which was probably a good thing.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I got rid of your sweaters from the nineties, but
they were.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Such a big they were such a big you know,
those haven't come back. Have you noticed that there was
a reason it does not come back yet?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah. So one of the some of the things that
are back for women, big blowouts, glam makeup. Yeah, what
about you. Well, one thing that's back that I won't play.
I will not play the game is low rise jeans.
Low rise jeans were in when I had just had
my first C section. Are you kidding? I could not
even look at that waistline low hanging right there where
(25:54):
my problem was. I was so upset about that. And
now I know that you should be wearing your jeans
your pants where your natural waste is, which is like
a mid rise or high rise from them.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Well, and some of us guys look like we're wearing
low rise no matter what we credit.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
That's a different situation, discontinued foods that you wish you
could get back. It doesn't just happen in the cosmetics world.
It happens at the grocery store all the time. We asked,
and you really came through with yours.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, And so Valerie's comment is, mister Pibb is back
in better form. So she I guess she's found it.
She said, I grabbed one as soon as I saw it,
Ranch wheat thins. I guess that's what she says, are gone.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Oh, I remember that for a minute, a hot minute.
They were very flavorful wheat.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Fins and lime coke. She says, lime coke, lime diet coke.
I agree with that, maw, I.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Love that perfect. You missed that.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, but that came back limited edition recently.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, that came back for a short time.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, Michelle says duncan Hein's microwave cupcakes. The mug cakes
just aren't the same.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Oh yeah, they used to have microwave cake mixes a
long time ago.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
And it's come in the little cardboard foil it did.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
It came in its own little microwavable thing, and you
didn't have to bake a cake, but you could, you know,
sort of bake it in the microwave, and I guess
it probably does taste a little bit better than mugcakes.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
You're right, probably one step up from an easy bake oven.
Michelle says Taco Dorito's.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Now, I know those come back every now and then.
I know they've been the last year they've been back,
but they come back for a limited time and disappear again.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Watch for them in the store when I find those.
I buy them for my brother when we were growing up.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Those easy to spot too, because it's an old timey
looking retro bag and it's got the sombrero.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah. Usually they do taste really good too. Yeah, for
forget about it.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Jose says Bigfoot from Pizza Hut.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
It's a big pizza. I don't know exactly what was
on it, but I know for every now and then
they bring back the chacaroni pizza at Pizza Hut. Oh yeah,
I've had that before, where it's just like a humongous
pizza with loaded with pepperonis, a.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Little curling pepperonis.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Curling in regular. So maybe Jose, maybe look for the chaparoni.
Next time's wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
It was in the nineteen early nineties, the big Foot pizza. Okay,
twenty one slices. That's what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's a party pizza right there, two feet okay, Amy
says toasty Ya's girl scout cookies want them back? Why
would they ever get rid of those?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Those were? Those were the French toast tasty ones. Those
were good toast.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, I was about to say, I can't remember. Of course,
you guys remember.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
We're only around for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Though our post where we asked the question, I was
holding Tab because Tab would be mine. Tammy said, I
used to love Tab and miss putting pops too. Stephanie
says Tab was a lab experiment gone wrong. Don't miss
it out at all. Wade says Tab is like carmonated
prune juice. What that taste? Courtney says, my friend Kim
(28:53):
would sell her soul to have Tab again. This story
we touched on in Three Things to Know the other
day about Americans struggling with doing nothing on vacation. We
don't know how to do nothing, And I thought I
know a lot of of us who struggle with such things.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, I know me too.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Do you struggle with doing nothing?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Sam, Yeah, it happens to me even on the weekends,
and it's like, I'm here on the patio chilling out.
I'm doing nothing. Oh but wait, I gotta.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
It's the way they say they blame the busy effect.
We are a nation of busyness, and it's you get
used to it. That is how you feel normal. What's
the next thing, what's the next thing? What's the next thing?
And I read something the other day, literally just weeks ago,
(29:49):
and I screenshot it because I want to say this.
I want to send this to Murphy. I forgot to
send it to you. But it says, don't confuse rest
with being unproductive or being unproductive with being unworthy. M
It's okay to be unproductive. In fact, you need to
be unproductive at times. But we all struggle with it
even when even when on vacation, which is the big Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It goes back to the balance thing, right, I mean,
there's a happy medium. You can go to either extreme right.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Some people are really good at doing nothing, Yeah, professionals
do your Your parents were a good example, Murphy. When
they were.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
People, they did nothing. Way to go.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
No, I'm talking about the way they vacationed.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, because all they would do was book
the place and that was it when they were there,
That's right, that's they Their day was sun up, go
down and put the chairs on the beach, spend the
day out there. When the day is done, go back up.
And that it really was just hanging out and doing nothing.
I mean, you're doing nothing in a different place.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
But you know they did know they worked very hard.
I'm not saying they didn't think all the time on
a vacation, right. They didn't have a struggle that we
know of of them not being busy. In fact, your
mom was like, you interrupt my vacation.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
She was very asked her to do anything out of
the even out of the schedule. Like one time when
you were first diagnosed with diabes, I was getting a
little antsy about you eating early enough so you could
have the insulin thing, and it was like, we're not
going to eat until she was like we're not going
to eat early and I was like, oh, okay.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
But your son has diabetes.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I'm going back to do nothing.
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choty Weekend Show podcast, highlighting
some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Most women have shapewear. You know, when I was a
little girl, my grandmother wore a girdle and I remember
it's the original. Well, probably way before that would be
a course courset, thank you, tie it in the bag,
fucking in. But shapewear has come a long way and
you can buy shapewear almost anywhere now. Like I'm rolling
(00:30):
into Walmart to pick up coffee and I'm checking a detour.
It's like there's shapewear and it looks good.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Is that surprising though?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
No? I love I love that there's a million kinds.
But guess what. You can make mistakes with shapewear, just
like you can with any fashion. We all have mistakes
hanging in our closet. So the biggest mistakes that women
make with shapewear, I guess men who wear it too.
Assuming that it shouldn't be called shapewear, it should be
called smooth waar because the point is to smooth things out.
(00:57):
It's not gonna actually change. If you are a size ten,
you're not gonna be an eight because of shapewear just
you can't and so don't buy a smaller size.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well that makes sense to me. That's like squeeze in
a balloon, right, I mean, yeah, it's gonna.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Move, it's gonna go somewhere. It's gonna come out at
the top of your dress. If your waist is perfect
and you don't want to.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, I'll admit I have a shapewear shirt.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Good And let's hear about it. Did you buy that?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I never warn it?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I haven't needed it yet. I'm saving it for a date.
But when I it on, it does swim a little
or smooth a little, but it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Eliminate all the natural body unless you're eighteen years old
and you are you know, anomaly. The natural body has moved,
you know, has bulges and gravity. Yeah, yeah, so it
smooths things out. But you should buy it in your size.
You should try. Here's another thing. Don't just buy it
and bring it home. Try it on with the outfit,
(01:55):
like with the gown that you're gonna wear it with
or the dress, so that you know it because you
don't want it bulging and pinching in places that show. Oh,
she's got shape wear on there. You know you're not
really supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It can actually show the shapewear.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You're wearing it incorrectly. Yeah, because you see the little
you can see the places.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
To make sure you try it on with your gown, please.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Another another mistake that people make with shapewear is it's
not meant for prolonged use. You're not supposed to wear
it for days. You're not supposed to sleep well. Hopefully
you can breathe in it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's a different kind of feeling.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's a different kind of you know what I like
about it helps it. It makes me sit up more straight.
I'm gonna wear that.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I never put it on. Maybe I should try it sometimes.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You would not probably enjoy it. The main thing is
having unrealistic expectations. It does not make you a size smaller.
It does smooth out and hopefully kind of it sort
of sucks you in a bit, but by your size
or higher. Don't go lower, all right?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Social media connect.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Emails rolling into Murphy, Samon Jody dot com and messages
messages on social This is from Megan Hi he Dear
Jody and Murphy. How do you not constantly crack up
at Sam's side comments and jokes.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Actually, we do what you think.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
We're so happy. Almost every day there is something that
Sam slips in that has me giggling and messing up
my makeup while getting ready, and you guys move on
like it's nothing. How she says, how love you guys
from Megan. You know that is so sweet, and you're right.
(03:37):
I guess we do sort of move on because we
have to. But you do crack us up every day,
and I am grateful for it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You know. It's funny about what Meghan says. It's like
we will do something and I'll slip one of those
singers in, and She's right. There are times where y'all
just keep going, carrying on and then when we go
back and like watch the video of.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
It, Yeah, it loves Sam said, I guess we should
have done that during the show.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah recently, just the other day, you're like five second delay.
You know, sometimes it happens that way. But you know,
we don't take you for granted.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I will say that I think our brains are un
fast forward sometimes.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, we're used to you, for sure, but I don't
think I'll take you for granted because I don't. I
can't tell you. And I'm glad. Megan sent this how
many times? And I'm not trying to embarrass you, Sam,
but how many times I've fought At the end of
the day, I'm so glad that we laugh as much
as we do and we all make each other laugh.
But Sam, you're the king of it.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, And it's not just you guys either. I mean,
I think it's because I can't keep my mouth shut
with that kind of stuff, that it's just so much
that you can't. Yeah, because it happens with family members
and friends.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
They're always throwing something out.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, it's always. I mean, since day one that I
met you, that's exactly what has been. It's been. It's
been a riot.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Don't think we don't sometimes just laugh at home and
have little side combos about here what Sam said it.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, it used to really irritate my first wife. She
used to say, why don't you marry Sam?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You heard that one?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Then Laura sent this, Hey, Murphy, Sam and Jody, I'm
the bus driver who emailed you about how I listened
to the show every morning with the kids. Jody, I
made the cabbage roll soup and it's the best recipe
I've ever had for it. High school students begged me
to bring some, but I don't think that would be
clean on the bus. It would be too messy. Also,
(05:29):
the second part of this email is for Sam. I
hope you find a rescue dog soon. Oh yeah, and
thanks Murphy, Sam and Jody for keeping a smile on
my face truly. Laura C. Bus driver number twelve.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Well, thank you Laura.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Last week, while Murphy was out of town, Sam and
I we went to this like business lunch and we
had to go to it. I forgot to pay attention.
Did you wear your man shape wear?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Sam?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Under your Did you wear it?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I forgot to notice did you try it on?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I was gonna wear it because I know I said
I was going to. But then it's like, well, I
have to be all day at work and then all
day just this conference and ask like.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You didn't have you You don't have to commit to
a whole day. I know you have a fear of
it and all, but like, why don't you just wear
it for an hour and take it off?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Then?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Oh, okay, we need to pay attention.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
You'll know.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
We were talking about, you know, mistakes that people make
in shapewear, like buying a size too small just because
you wanted to give you a smaller thing. It's really
smooth were it's meant to smooth you and sort of
suck you in, But don't go smaller things like that.
And we learned that Sam has a shapewear shirt. Yes,
we've never seen you in it. Kelly sent this to
(06:42):
our Facebook messenger. I used to work at a maiden
Form store. Oh, I would love to talk to you, Kelly,
and we had men coming in buying waste shapewear. Their
doctor would recommend it as back support, cheaper and less
bulky than braces. I have never heard that in all
(07:04):
of my life, and I think it's wonderful info.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Now that you're saying it that way. I mean, I
guess in theory then compression shocks sucks would be shapewear,
even though that's not what they're intended to do. Yeah,
they are. I mean that's exactly what they are. They're
they're they're tight, and they they smooth everything out. It's
to keep blood from pooling.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I guess at your ankle, right, shapewear is not about
your People are not wearing shapewear for circulation reasons.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Well, right, But what I'm saying is if a doctor's
recommending it for a back, it's the same thing to
mean the same concept. It's squeezing you, just as a
different name.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
But what is waste shapewear? Is that like your belly
and and down your thighs.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well for men, I don't I don't know about men's shapewear,
but it sounds like, think what a back brace is.
It just goes around that.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And that makes sense to me because right, because if
you have a belly on you, that tends to draw
you forward right exactly and causes the backstrain. So I
can see that. Yeah, it's almost similar to you know,
I guess you could wear one of these if you
want to, like the things everybody wears at home depot,
you know, with the shoulders and all that back lifting.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, yeah, all right, thank you, Kelly. I'm sure Murphy
and Sam are now going to be at the Maiden
Fold store.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I highly recommend that you have a birthday party for
a dog who is the love of your life, because
we did it.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
It was fun.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Champ is thirteen years old and so it was very short.
I think we spent maybe ten fifteen minutes. But I
bought him a blue bandana, and on that bandana I
put a button that says it's my birthday.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's sweet. You can see the pictures on our social.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Correct And I thought about it and thought about it.
I didn't want to give him cake, any kind of cake, really,
because of his tummy issues of late. So he does
really love popcorn, and when I eat popcorn, I'll throw
him a corner or two. So we let him have
a bowl, a small bowl of some popcorn. But I
(08:57):
also found at a pet store a bone shaped dog
treat that's like it says happy Birthday on it. It
was baked by a dog bakery.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah. I was going to ask you why I didn't
have Champs name on it, but I was, okay, we
don't need to go that far.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Do you know it's finicky as he is, Murphy, I
thought he wouldn't eat that. He went after that.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, he loved that, Honestly, he kind of At first
he was tentative about the popcorn and then he just
was all about whatever that thing. I mean, actually I
wanted to try it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Looks Yeah, we have a little bit of it for
you of his party.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
He's eating the popcorn there. He likes some birthday popcorn.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Oh you know, I had these visions of sitting him
up in front of a table, you know, like you
would somebody in front of a cake. But he's thirteen
years old. He's happy and comfortable on his bed. So
we went to him. We were on the floor with him.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I seem perfectly content with having food brought to him,
so I no issues there.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Wrapped presents around two two little pros.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
What do you get?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
One of them was a bag of birthday cake treats,
which we didn't open yet. That's just for he gets
a treat once a day at night before he goes
to bed, so those are for him for the next
several months. And then the other thing is a squeak toy,
a hedgehog toy, which he hasn't had a toy in
a long time. And you saw how much he was
playing with it.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Murph, Yeah, you know, it's this really shows you how
much Jody looked. We all love Champ, but Jody really
loves Champ. And so the way the house was decorated
for him and the little doggie had and that it
was precious, every single bit of it. I think I
was just happy to see Jody happy about it as
Champ was to eat his little doggy bone.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
It's just somebody to wear the hat for a few minutes.
Go check it out Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, all the places,
and Happy Birthday, Champ. I mentioned it in Three Things
to Know earlier this week. It was not my favorite story,
though a lot of people think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Are you worried about the squirrels hurting themselves?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Judy? I am squirrels and vaping is a thing.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, who hasn't heard the story.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
They're not intentionally vaping.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
And nobody's selling the vapes to the squirrels right.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
No, but litter is awful and what's happening.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Is sorry, I can't sell you this. You're a squirrel,
that's my d.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
If you were to google that right now, squirrels and
vapes or whatever vaping squirrels, you would get lots of
videos from around the world. London is reporting it's a
huge problem people who vape, who discard their vape pins
when they're done with them. I don't know how it
really works, because I thought you kept it and put
an insert, but whatever. If you discard a vape pen,
(11:42):
you've littered. The baby squirrels who are just minding their
own trying to find a nut or whatever, you know,
trying to find an acorn to chew on to live.
They are attracted to the fruity scent. If you had
a cookies and cream scented pink whatever, there, they go
for them. Not just because they're there and they're colorful sometimes,
(12:02):
but they smell great to an animal, and so it's not.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Because they were used to doing lit cigarette butts in
the past. All right, this is so much better.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Okay, they pick it up in the videos they look
like they're vaping because the way they pick it up,
you know what they're like.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
But do squirrels know how to inhale?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
They can suck a not out of a shell. They
can probably get some nicotine out of a vape. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The reason I don't like is because wildlife. I knew
this was coming, and I'm so grateful that wildlife experts
have been responding with warnings about the dangers to animals
when you litter vapes, when you litter at all. We've
known about that forever it's like birds ingesting straws.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean, the animals. They didn't elect to have all
these things put in from them.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Not only is the nicotine toxic to them, there's a
little bit of nicotine left. As much as you think
you got out of that vape, the squirrel can find more.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Warning on the package. The squirrels don't.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Classic vapes have forever chemicals in them. You know all
of that. So just dispose of your vapes properly and
don't litter the beautiful world, and think about the squirrel.
I wish I knew. I couldn't do this with value.
You guys enjoying it, but it's something to be aware of.
Yes morning pick me up time, when it's time to
(13:24):
get a toy, buy a toy for a child in
your life, do not succumb to the pressure of being
too cool for school and getting the latest coolest thing,
even if you don't know what that is, because guess
what the word is. And we learned last week at
the annual Toy Fair in New York City. The top
most loved toys it's called cozy culture and it's low
(13:47):
tech toys are the most loved right now by parents,
by kids, as far as sitting down and playing in
your mind actually lighting up. It's the classic toys, you know,
feel good about buying them. We're talking about dolls, blocks, puzzles,
things you build those.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
At the lowest tech of all of them. A cardboard
box that you cut into whatever you wanted to be.
I swear I've never that was always ahead. A big
empty box seems to attract every kid. I know. That's
what it was at our house when our girls were
going on.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It cannot beat that. And it's so funny because how
many families have this dynamic going on that at the
kid's house. It's the screens and the pads. We're going
to see that in the Toy Story five movie, that
all the classic toys are competing with lily Pad, which
is such a story for our time. But how many
of us have that situation where you're home, where you
have small children, you have all the latest, greatest, and
(14:38):
then they go to grandma's house and Grandma's like, here's
a paperbag, here's a box, hey, and they have a blast.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
When Hollis comes to my house, my grandson, he goes
straight to the back and pulls out my two big
things of Legos.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Great, it's Lego time, and how long does he spend
forever until it's time to leave? Lego's part of that classic.
Even if it's you know, something new and it's bluey Lego,
it's still that classic thing.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I don't know why. Toys that your grandmothers were always
just they're better and fun. And some of it was,
you know, were the toys that belonged to your parents too.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It was like, oh, I had those old, beautiful barbies
that belonged to my mother and her sister, and they
were gorgeous and they had been played with, you know,
for a long long time. They were worn, but I
loved it. But anyway, the word is these toys encourage longer,
deeper periods of concentration. Just like when you pick up
(15:31):
your device and it's it's everything is fast food for
your brain. Everything is three seconds. That's not good for
a child's brain. It's better to foster the creativity, the
role playing, the social skills that playing with low tech
toys classic toys can bring.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That'll be just as relaxing for you to watch to
play with.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yes, take us along on the podcast anytime you want
to hang out and you miss parts of the show,
you never have to miss it. And there's also the
YouTube channel all you can subscribe to there and watch
after the show every day.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Jody, I loved your morning pick me up this morning
about you know, if you're an introvert, you don't need
to feel bad about it. It's not a negative. It's
just how yeah, right, and we're all a mix of
you know both. I realized one thing though about because
I do thrive in the social settings, I really I
enjoy being with people. It doesn't mean I know what
my downtime, but I enjoy that. But it made me
(16:26):
think about something that I really had to try hard
the other day to tell myself, you're not doing this wrong.
Both of you have kind of teased me over the
years when we've done get togethers and it takes me
forever to leave. Yeah, you want to explain that, Jody.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, he can't say goodbye like it's it's time to leave.
I'm standing there with like a coat and a purse,
and you know, Sam's already gone. He's like, right, and
we've said and we've said goodbye, and it's a it's
the person that you're saying goodbye to knows it's over
and you don't, right, Well, yeah, it's real.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Well I have there are people who tease me and
they call that that. You know that I'm the one
who rolls the credits the gathering.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Second thought, we we work with I don't remember rolling
the credits.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Again, remembering that one man. Yeah, I don't remember who
said that to me. I don't think they work with
us anymore. But it was always, you know, Murphy rolls
the credits. But you know it so get together that
I was at last week. I had to leave a
little bit early because of a flight.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Oh but that killed you.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
It did because I'm wanting to tell everybody goodbye, and
I couldn't tell everybody goodbye. I mean I were about
six or seven people. I was able to go fist
bump and you know, walked out without disturbing because the
meeting was in progress when this was going on. But
I literally had to tell myself, it's okay, you don't
have to go tell everybody in the room goodbye. But
that's just what happens to me naturally, because I enjoy
(17:48):
seeing the people that were there. I always want, just
like when I greet somebody at the beginning. I want to,
you know, do the other greeting at the end, roll
the credits.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
When I first started dating you, Murphy, all those years ago,
I remember we would go to a party or something
and I saw this in action on the front end
and the back end, and I thought, he acts like
he's the host. You're not hosting this. It's just you
being who you are. You know know that you sometimes
do need to wrap it up, but let yourself be it.
(18:20):
I've tried the signal that doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Have I told you both how much I've enjoyed doing
the show with you today? Got it?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Have you ever heard a phrase? Someone drop a phrase
or even like a sentence on you and you know
what it means, but you've never heard it before.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
What do you mean, I'm a phrase?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, I'm just going to tell you mine, and once
I say it, you'll know. I'm sure you've had it.
In the corporate world, Murphy, You're like, you hear something
about bandwidth and you know what it means.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Okay, yeah, bandwidth this the amount that somebody's able to do.
That's not important right now.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Good for you. So the other day I took our
youngest daughter phoebe pants shopping. She needs some new pants.
I'm like, I'm your girl. Let's go pants shopping. I said,
let's pick where you want to go. We'll go any store.
She said, let's start kind of gritty and let's go
thrifting first. I'm like, yeah, girl, let's do it. And
on the way there, we're having a nice mom daughter conversation.
We're going to one of our favorite places to thrift.
(19:17):
And I said, what's cool about starting here is that
we could stock up, like you could get jeans and
slacks and all this kind of stuff. And she, being
the old school, old soul that she is, she said, yeah, Mom,
but you know you got to be careful of that
thrifting blindness. And I was like, as soon as she
said those two words, I'm like, I knew exactly what
(19:39):
she meant.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
It means you're thrifting and you'll say yes to stuff
just because it's five dollars that you would never buy.
And that's how you end up with too much stuff
if you thrift a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That makes sense. When I started getting on the vinyl
kick a couple of years ago, again, I mean, it
was I started to realize finally the reason I got
rid of my original vinyl collection was because of it
takes up so much room. It's all that. So I
just dialed it back to the things that I want.
But that's easy to do. You get excited because you think, well,
there's only one of these because it's thrifted. It's not
(20:13):
like there's ten of them on the shelf.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Right, you think that there's you're never gonna have the
chance to have this again. And that's true. And it's
five dollars or seven dollars and you're like nothing, and
she's as soon as she said it now she did
go on to explain that's how you end up with
too much stuff, or you'll say yes to stuff that
you really are not in love with. You won't yeah
pass it won't pass all the tests, the normal test
you would put it through in your mind if you
(20:37):
were buying at retail. True, I know, so thank you
Phoebes for introducing me to the new term thrifting blindness
so that I don't overthrift. And by the way, she
only bought like two three things.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I was gonna ask, what was.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
The hall very few she got like one pair of
pants and she got two shirts. We were pants shopping.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
So true wasn't blinded by the thrifting.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
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. I walk into the bathroom
and there's a large dark object in the middle of
the floor.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
And they can't have an accident.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
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 a monster frog.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
In the house? Let him in? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
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 (21:48):
Okay, if they can jump.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
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 into the yard.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Nice release.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
But yeah, that's the that's the new thing. It's like,
where did he come from?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Do you have a doggy door?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
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 (22:20):
It was either that or he snuck in through the toilet.
Believe it or not.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I actually did think the toilet. It's like that's how
snakes get in.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Looking in the toilet. It's not going to help you
because he's not. He didn't leave.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
You know a sign 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 (22:42):
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 (22:53):
I wasn't touching him. It's like I've seen too many
horror movies. It's like it's a poisonous frog, or he's
got teeth, or he's going to do something something to me.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
This would make a lot more sense if you 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 I've seen.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
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 (23:21):
Yeah, well you're okay, you survived it.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You want me to post a picture on Facebook?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Sure, okay, And don't leave your door open today. Is
the other thing. If there is a shirt or a
pair of jeans, or jewelry or some sort of accessory
that you love that is not in that you are
told it is old and ugly, I hope you hold
on to it. I hope you rocket if you want.
(23:46):
Because trends are trends. Who cares? I say that? Because
we touched on this and three Things to Know the
other day. It takes it's it's less time for fast
and trends to return. Now it used to be twenty years.
It would be twenty years, like something's really really hot
and get cools off and it's uncool and it stays
in a vault forever, and then a whole new generation,
two generations come go, oh, this is cool, let's start
(24:08):
rocking it again.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Something that was hot in two thousand and five or
six as would be now.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Well, yeah, it used to be that way, but now
fashion trends return in half the time and ten years,
it's faster thanks to things like social media, thanks to
just just a visual connected world that we live in.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, I mean, look, the mustache trend is back. And
Jody was really sad when I shaved mine the first time.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Well, you shocked me with it. Yeah, you didn't even
tell me, you just walked into the living room. I'm like,
who is this man?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah? But ever since then, I mean, I've dug the beard,
you know, mustache combo I've done. But I've just noticed
that's a trendyclical, right, it disappears and then it comes back.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
All trends come back, all turns. Do you guys have
any I mean I have so many that I always
rock where regardless because I think some things are classic,
and if somethings are, you you should wear them anything.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
For me, it's a gene jack and I don't know
that that's a trend. That's just that's a classic cling.
You never throw away your jean jacket.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Correct, Okay, good one. See it's good to pick a
classic for that, and Murphy your mustache very classic one.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah. I don't know that. I mean, I stay so
basic in solids. I don't know that I necessarily follow trends.
I did get rid of my sweaters from the nineties,
you know, which was probably a good thing.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I got rid of your sweaters from the nineties, but
they were.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Such a big they were such a big you know,
those haven't come back. Have you noticed that there was
a reason it does not come back yet?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah. So one of the some of the things that
are back for women, big blowouts, glam makeup. Yeah, what
about you. Well, one thing that's back that I won't play.
I will not play the game is low rise jeans.
Low rise jeans were in when I had just had
my first C section. Are you kidding? I could not
even look at that waistline low hanging right there where
(25:54):
my problem was. I was so upset about that. And
now I know that you should be wearing your jeans
your pants where your natural waste is, which is like
a mid rise or high rise from them.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Well, and some of us guys look like we're wearing
low rise no matter what we credit.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
That's a different situation, discontinued foods that you wish you
could get back. It doesn't just happen in the cosmetics world.
It happens at the grocery store all the time. We asked,
and you really came through with yours.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, And so Valerie's comment is, mister Pibb is back
in better form. So she I guess she's found it.
She said, I grabbed one as soon as I saw it,
Ranch wheat thins. I guess that's what she says, are gone.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Oh, I remember that for a minute, a hot minute.
They were very flavorful wheat.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Fins and lime coke. She says, lime coke, lime diet coke.
I agree with that, maw, I.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Love that perfect. You missed that.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, but that came back limited edition recently.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, that came back for a short time.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, Michelle says duncan Hein's microwave cupcakes. The mug cakes
just aren't the same.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Oh yeah, they used to have microwave cake mixes a
long time ago.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
And it's come in the little cardboard foil it did.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
It came in its own little microwavable thing, and you
didn't have to bake a cake, but you could, you know,
sort of bake it in the microwave, and I guess
it probably does taste a little bit better than mugcakes.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
You're right, probably one step up from an easy bake oven.
Michelle says Taco Dorito's.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Now, I know those come back every now and then.
I know they've been the last year they've been back,
but they come back for a limited time and disappear again.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Watch for them in the store when I find those.
I buy them for my brother when we were growing up.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Those easy to spot too, because it's an old timey
looking retro bag and it's got the sombrero.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah. Usually they do taste really good too. Yeah, for
forget about it.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Jose says Bigfoot from Pizza Hut.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
It's a big pizza. I don't know exactly what was
on it, but I know for every now and then
they bring back the chacaroni pizza at Pizza Hut. Oh yeah,
I've had that before, where it's just like a humongous
pizza with loaded with pepperonis, a.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Little curling pepperonis.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Curling in regular. So maybe Jose, maybe look for the chaparoni.
Next time's wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
It was in the nineteen early nineties, the big Foot pizza. Okay,
twenty one slices. That's what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's a party pizza right there, two feet okay, Amy
says toasty Ya's girl scout cookies want them back? Why
would they ever get rid of those?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Those were? Those were the French toast tasty ones. Those
were good toast.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, I was about to say, I can't remember. Of course,
you guys remember.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
We're only around for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Though our post where we asked the question, I was
holding Tab because Tab would be mine. Tammy said, I
used to love Tab and miss putting pops too. Stephanie
says Tab was a lab experiment gone wrong. Don't miss
it out at all. Wade says Tab is like carmonated
prune juice. What that taste? Courtney says, my friend Kim
(28:53):
would sell her soul to have Tab again. This story
we touched on in Three Things to Know the other
day about Americans struggling with doing nothing on vacation. We
don't know how to do nothing, And I thought I
know a lot of of us who struggle with such things.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, I know me too.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Do you struggle with doing nothing?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Sam, Yeah, it happens to me even on the weekends,
and it's like, I'm here on the patio chilling out.
I'm doing nothing. Oh but wait, I gotta.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
It's the way they say they blame the busy effect.
We are a nation of busyness, and it's you get
used to it. That is how you feel normal. What's
the next thing, what's the next thing? What's the next thing?
And I read something the other day, literally just weeks ago,
(29:49):
and I screenshot it because I want to say this.
I want to send this to Murphy. I forgot to
send it to you. But it says, don't confuse rest
with being unproductive or being unproductive with being unworthy. M
It's okay to be unproductive. In fact, you need to
be unproductive at times. But we all struggle with it
even when even when on vacation, which is the big Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It goes back to the balance thing, right, I mean,
there's a happy medium. You can go to either extreme right.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Some people are really good at doing nothing, Yeah, professionals
do your Your parents were a good example, Murphy. When
they were.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
People, they did nothing. Way to go.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
No, I'm talking about the way they vacationed.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, because all they would do was book
the place and that was it when they were there,
That's right, that's they Their day was sun up, go
down and put the chairs on the beach, spend the
day out there. When the day is done, go back up.
And that it really was just hanging out and doing nothing.
I mean, you're doing nothing in a different place.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
But you know they did know they worked very hard.
I'm not saying they didn't think all the time on
a vacation, right. They didn't have a struggle that we
know of of them not being busy. In fact, your
mom was like, you interrupt my vacation.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
She was very asked her to do anything out of
the even out of the schedule. Like one time when
you were first diagnosed with diabes, I was getting a
little antsy about you eating early enough so you could
have the insulin thing, and it was like, we're not
going to eat until she was like we're not going
to eat early and I was like, oh, okay.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
But your son has diabetes.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I'm going back to do nothing.
