Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody Daily Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
According to Dog Behavioral List, there are things that dogs
wish we knew not to do to them, like hugging them.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Dogs don't like to be hugged. It feels right. Yeah, well,
it depends on the dog.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I mean, if you've had a dog forever and they
completely trust you, you know, you can probably hug a dog.
But it's not natural to them and they can feel
trapped by it.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
I was gonna say in the wild, they would probably
feel cornered by that. So right, you don't want to
go up and hug a strange dog.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Instinctually, Yeah, it's not right to them to be hugged.
You know, we, as you always say, Murphy, we humanize them.
They are dogs and everything is about behavior.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
I want to say, cuddle up to you and all that.
It becomes a different story.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I think you remember Caesar Milan saying this, don't stare
directly at a dog. I know that's funny to you, Sam,
for some reason was that, I don't know, don't stare
directly at a dog.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
That can be threatening as well.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, and again I mean this is just maybe reading
between the lines. You usually only going to be if
it's a dog that doesn't know you that well, because
direct eye contact is always going to be a I'm
focused in on you. I understand that, right you can.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
We've all had a pet that you're trying to ignore.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
He wants to go for a walk and you're not
going to look him in the eye because you got
to do something else.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
As soon as you look him in the eye, it's
over with her.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, you know you got the focus.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
It's eye contact.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Is really one of our boxers that passed away a
long time ago, Ashley was the funniest one because she
would try to look at you and she would be
all excited and her eyes would veer to the left
and then come back.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
This is too much pressure. It was too intimate. She
couldn't look him in the eye.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Should look away.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Funny anyway, other things don't reach.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
This is something we all do.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Don't reach for their head first to pet. They like
it's apparently it's also it makes them uncomfortable. You know,
that's their head. They'd rather you if you're if it's
a new dog, they'd rather you pet them on the
side they're the side above their.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Uh, shoulders, shoulders almost that arms.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Let them sniff on wall dogs wish we knew to
let them sniff on walks. It's actually if you take
a dog on a walk and it's just come on,
come on, get the exercise in. You don't let them
stop and sniff, they can become it's frustrating for them
to not be able to sniff.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
It's means outside of training time, when you're taking them
through trainings and that sort of thing they need to
understand how to walk on that's not the time.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
You just still let them sniff some because it's all
about everything about their world is about smell and then yawning.
When dogs yawn sometimes it doesn't always mean that they're tired.
In fact, most of the times it's like anxiety. It's
the way they release anxiety. According to dog behavioralist. We
have a message from Instagram from Kirsten that I have

(02:45):
to share with you guys because Hi, Murphy, Sam and
Jody was listening to the podcast heard you talking about
short text, like how you know sending just K it's
not great. So I'm a millennial and we are probably
the first generation to be all about text and here
to let you know texting K is rude to most
of my generation and gen Z. It's not just because

(03:07):
it's capitalized. It's the shortness of it, and in conversation,
even saying K seems short and comes off in text
as annoyed or even mad. Just thought i'd let you know,
also kay, instead of just the letter K is better.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
And I have no idea why lol.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Probably because it doesn't feel as abrupt it's so funny,
because text just doesn't have emotional context now without an emoji.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Anyway, this goes on to read.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I think my generation has put a lot of tone
behind certain texting phrases, which is also why my generation
particularly says lol a lot. It's not because something is
so funny. It's often just put to lighten the tone
of a text.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I do that a lot, Kirsten. But yeah, yeah,
because I remember. I remember when Sam went through his
K phase and the first couple of times I got
it's like, okay, what is up? What's with the attitude?

Speaker 2 (04:02):
You know?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
And so the first.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Time I got a K back from Sam, I'm like,
that's so Sam. He's also doing it to be Sam
and to go okay, you know, to be you, to
stand on that hill and die on that hill that
you're not going to over communicate. Yeah, and Kirsten, thank
you for the lesson.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, that's awesome. And I guess millennials were really the
first two because they were using the phones with the
keypad and the letters on the keypad to text. They
were really, I say, the first anybody that had, you know,
that kind of phone before smartphones, that's how you texted.
But they were super fast with it too.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
If you remember one of our producers, Bailey, he used
to talk occasionally in those things, because I remember him
every now and then, what do you mean to go?
Huh Lol? It's so verbalized that those things every night. Oh,
we can talk.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Those now, right.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
It's good to talk about this because we are all
in different generations communicating and I don't ever want to
thing to be misunderstood.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Kay, okay, the joke.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Trending now.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Jody's Hollywood outsider.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Millie Bobby Brown in the news again today, Help.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Me find him?

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Kill him?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Isn't she a bon Giovanni?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Now she is Bonjo Bonjio, Jake bon Jovi.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
I know. I love to look at him.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
He looks like the perfect blend of John bon Jovi
and the wife Millie Bobby Brown. Remember last year she
filed a complaint against her Stranger Things co star David Harbor,
who played Hopper, who played her dad in the series.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Was so strange.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
And then a week later they were on the red
carpet together making nice in the world. They understand. I'm
wondering now if we'll ever understand what happened. They had
some sort of dispute. Anyway, they must have ironed it
all out because Netflix is bringing them back together. They're
going to do a spy drama. David Harber is going
to play this guy named Matt Wolfe, a disgraced former

(06:10):
FBI agent who became a security consultant and he gets
pulled back into the world because his wait, wait for it,
a strange daughter played by Millie.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Bobby Brown Wow parallels.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Right, is now an FBI agent herself. Oh wow, okay,
and then he has to go get her and you
know he.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Has a certain set of skills something like that.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
No title yet, but they're working together again.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
When your kids play sports, you have to know how
important it is. The way that you behave is so
so important. They have done some research and some studies
and we can all. We all have an experience with
it one way or the other. Maybe it's just something
you've witnessed. Maybe you've been a child of a parent
who was over zealous at the ball field or whatever.
Kids largely report the reason that they they want to

(07:00):
play sports in the first place is number one, to
have fun. Number two because it's social to be with
their friends. Yeah, that's why they're there. And then what
happens is they see this whole other they see this
whole other side of their parent, and it becomes a
thing of oh my gosh, I'm not good enough. Oh
my gosh, I'm not living up to what they really want,
And it's so sad. It's something we've got to talk about.

(07:23):
Our kids didn't play sports, not many, Murphy. They were
theater girls, and so that was fantastic for us. I
don't think we could have just at the end clapping
and here's some flowers. But I remember signing up to
play sports when I was a kid because I wanted
my father.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
I knew he would love it.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
I remember doing it for him and feeling like I
had disappointed him a lot because I could hear him
in the stands.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yes, it's understanding that. Yeah, they're going to put enough
pressure on themselves if they want to do it.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah. You saw a lot of this at the ball
field too, sam didn't you coach?

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Well, my oldest kids, Sammy was playing baseball. I was
an assistant coach, and you see.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
That and it's heartbreaking.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
It feel bad for the kid because the kid is
on it. I mean I saw times where the parent,
the father mainly was yelling at the kid catch the
ball or do stuff like and it's just like, no, don't.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Let them just play.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
They say that the pressure from parents is what can
break their experience for them, make them not love it
and make them not want it. It happens a lot
in soccer, they say, and basketball is one where they
feel the pressure. I think because it's so close they
can hear and see every little thing.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, not the same as being a little farly removed
on a football field.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
I think the main thing here is to remember why
they play. They're playing for social reasons and to have fun.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Yeah, they're out there with their friends.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Remember that.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I was happy to learn and share in Three Things
to Know the other day about MIT about to release
an at home lime disease test kit, which I know
it's sounds ugy, but because of ticks.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Well, one disease is a serious disease, so it's a
good thing to catch before you know.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I know they they developed it and they're gonna release
it and limited availability. But like if you and it's gross,
but it's tick season. You know, if you're like in
the woods, you gotta be careful what comes back with you.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, it's gross.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
But we have an email from Johnny who heard that
three things today. Johnny got a response for you. You
guys were talking about ticks. I grew up in eastern
Kentucky and I had tics most every day on me,
some embedded, some not.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Wait whoa embedded?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Meaning the head in Okay, so when they get on you,
they're not immediately in, No.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
They aren't, but it's their jaws that are going into you.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Okay, I'll never have one on me, all right, Well,
Johnny continues.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
As for how to remove a tick, it is correct
that they will back out if heat has applied, such
as a hot match.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
You were the one Sam that told us that that
there's supposedly a cigarette trick.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I'm like, yeah, but they recommend against that because it
actually speaking, it causes the tick to whatever fluids he's got.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
He's going to what could possibly go wrong with putting
a hot cigarette near your skin?

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Gross?

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Anyway, he says, he will. They will also back out
if you smother them in acid tone.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Oh well, I have plenty of that handy nail polish
stuff is male polish and polish removed. It's a remover.
It's a remover.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
But what my dad did, because I grew up in
the country and there were tick situations with our dogs,
and he would, I want to say, little what do
you call those little thingseezers?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Tweezers? He would pull them off with tweezers.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
And that's actually the right way to do it.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
My daddy, And Johnny continues or use very fine tweezers
to pull them out.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
There you go, Johnny, that's the what we were reading
online about. That is, medically speaking, that's the preferred way
to do it, because everything else can cause the tick
to introduce fluids into you.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
I still get tick bites even though I live in
the city now. Only last summer I had to take
antibiotics for one.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh Johnny.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, And that's the thing line, because he's totally treatable
with antibiotics. The key is just like anything else, making
sure that you go to that rock when you think
that you might.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
And when you come in from high risk areas. Check
your clothing, check your backpack, check your jackets.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Just check. And tomorrow we're going to tell you how
to remove TikTok. Yeah, 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.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Whatever, there's a newly created elf and she's it in
the movie.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
You know, there's an upcoming movie it is? And which
where are we in this series?

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
I just know it's a big series because it's not
what I follow. But I wanted to bring the news.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
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 (12:03):
Oh, you assume that eyes are rolling.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
When you started talking about Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, that's where you were your eyes were, well or not?

Speaker 4 (12:10):
The nerds actually have nerds, oh, because yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
When you started talking about Lord of the Ring, it's
ultimate nerd, it's higher nerd.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Yeah, and she's been added as an elf.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
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.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
I don't know why because I probably because I'm less
interested in that than anything.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
But see, for me, out of all of them, it's
it's the only one that I actually got into for
a while. And I know that. I don't know if
it's the Hokies nineteen sixties take, you know, I don't
know long or whatever, but I just never got into
Star Wars, have never gotten into the Lord of the Rings.
I kind of didn't get into, you know, a Game

(12:56):
of Thrones either, saying you know, I'm kind of an
outsider all of those universes.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah, sorry, you're not a nerd.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Or they're all just part of the same universe.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
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 going to get nerdy.
It's okay, 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 changed
the names and a lot of stagonists.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Every story has a protagonist, andever you have has a villain.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, and there's a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
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 (13:46):
That's the Disney theme right there.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Yeah, and then Bambi's mother.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
But so you are you saying that?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Where do you think Star Wars nerds land? Because Star
Wars is probably the most accepted, loved.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
Franchise in order. Rings is more nerdy than anything. It's
very it's it's very nerd. There's elves and fairies and
trolls and orcs.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
And yeah, well, hey, you know what if you want
to let us know you know what you think is.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
The nerdy hierarchy of nerds, you.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Want to hear it's eight seven seven three one zero
four MSJ calling all nerds morning, pick me up time.
We're going to celebrate Grandma Drawnniac.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Do you know who she is? Have you heard of her?

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I do know.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
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 1 (14:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
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 6 (14:55):
Here she is, I'm getting kicked out of the nursing
I just got this. It says you're getting kicked down
if you don't stop the parties. You could read it.
Parties are not allowed and you cannot serve alcohol to
other residents. Letter serves as a form form of warning.

(15:18):
I could do what I want.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
She a letter and said I can do what I want.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
Party.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
She really is.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
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 3 (15:41):
You know, She's like, we're here to.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Drink and gossip, and you know, and then she in
the next video, she even stated exactly why she is
going to stay.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
I pay twelve dollars a month to live here. I
could party if I want to. My girlfriends are coming
over drink and gossip. It's not a party, but we
do get rowdy. I can't help it. I love to party.
Can't stop me.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, that's so funny. At the door there to get
for them to take her out.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, the knock at the door for probably a girlfriend
coming over to party.

Speaker 3 (16:23):

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, guysteric.

Her real name is Lilian. She is ninety six.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Trending now Jody's Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Outsider Robert Pattinson's next film. He is not a vampire,
he is not Batman, but he plays a real person.
That's Chris Hansen in this movie is called Primetime, but
it's based on the the National.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
TV show called to Catch a Predator.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
To watch television, Well, there's something you should know.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
I'm Chris handsome it's actually Robert Pattinson playing him.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
It was a Daylight NBC.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
He was a Daylight NBC correspondent who had this groundbreaking
show where you got to watch him like literally catch
predators and lure them in. Now, the show eventually got
canceled after a tragic event. If you don't know what
that event was, look it up or I don't want
to ruin the movie for you. But the movie is
called Prime Time and it's coming up. We have a
date now. It's going to be in theaters in September

(17:36):
world premiere and then in theaters, so.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Look for that. Also, have news about this show I'm
now watching.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
I'm only in the first season with Jennifer Andison and
Reese Witherspoon called the Morning show Good Morning.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
I'm bringing you some sad.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
It was trending last week with them all hugging and
loving each other on set. It's because they've decided it's
going to wrap up once season five airs, and season
five is in production now.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
So yeah, I only have good news for you.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Social media connect.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Messages rolling in from Instagram and Facebook.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
So let's get to some Brittany who reached out to
us earlier this week. About doing a digital detox. Remember
she said she was the.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
One that said that she stopped doom scrolling and all
that for six weeks, I guess for right.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Which that's impressive.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Meaning a digital detox is you still use your device
to call and text people, and you know your boss
needs you for.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
What it was made for, but you write, but.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
You don't go online and shop or doom scroll or
just look at cats ai cats.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, and it's sort of like without purpose. That's really
what that's scrolling. Is if you're going to shop and
need to shop, then you shop. But if you're going
to get lost and just scrolling and looking and you're
doing it at a boredom, I think that's really what
she's talking about.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
And that's what happens.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
She stopped doing it for a long time, and she
shared that with us, and we we were really wow
because the digital detos we had shared in the morning
picked me up was to do it for two weeks
and see how your focus changed and how your mental
health changed. And she did it for longer and we
were like amazed at that. She said, here she is again.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh she's responding back.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
I heard you guys talking about my digital Detoks and
reading my comment I did go back, meaning after the
you know, the last week.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, I was wondering if she had stopped that altogether.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
She said that I did go back, but not nearly
as much. The scrolling is definitely down to just a
few minutes a day, but stress is still down and
everything is still down.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Say that's beautiful that, But she's made a fundamental change there,
which is different. It's I think it's more about the awareness.
If you're going to do it and you want to,
there's nothing wrong with that. But if you're prone to
getting sucked into the like I say, oh my god,
it's nine thirty, what happened? You know?

Speaker 2 (19:53):
And then you don't really know except that AI cats
or something like that. And I say that because I've
seen that lately. I'm like, looking out, I'm going I
know they're not real, but man, it's funny.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
You mean the cats that wake the people up by
playing drums and guitar.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
No, I've not seen them. The word is Brittany again,
thank you for this.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
If you really do want to change this, expect it
to be hard at first, because it's the world we
live in with that little device calling your name.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
All the time.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
So when it's when you go to pick it up,
you have to stop yourself and put something else in
its place.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Well, you have to catch that even in the first place.
You have to do that whole Wait a second, I'm
about to look and scroll. Sometimes you bypass that all
together and you're just doing.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
It doing it. Yeah, I had the most interesting blood
work done yesterday.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
And I don't mean the blood was interesting.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
How does it get interesting?

Speaker 3 (20:46):
They stick you it's done. I mean the stick Okay.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
On top of everything that's going on, you know, these
decisions we're making to keep our old elderly dog, Champ
comfortable in his last days, and my mom still being
in the hospital, so all of that kind of stuff
going on. I also had my own medical appointment for
my infusion injection treatments that I get once a month.
I do blood work first and then I go get

(21:10):
my injections for my weak bones. Anyway, so I roll in,
I'm like, hey, I'm here to be stuck. And I
sit down and there are two techs that walk up
instead of one, and the first one goes, Hi, my
name is Jamie. I'm a student. Would you be okay
with me? Drawing your blood today. I'm like, oh, man,

(21:31):
lot's going on, and now I gotta say so. I
just said, absolutely you can. So I'm thinking I didn't
ask first, like is this your first stick?

Speaker 3 (21:41):
I just rolled up my sleeves and laid my arm out.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
And then the other girl, whose name was Shikara, was teaching
her and watching her, and I said, Jamie, I'm I
do this for everyone, so don't take offense. I said,
I'm gonna give you my arm. I got some real
juicy veins here, I said, but I'm turning my head
and she goes, oh, that's okay. I said, I don't
want you to think that's it a student thing. She goes, okay, yes, ma'am.
So I lay my arm out a turn and I
start to hear the discussions. Little baby, it's okay, just

(22:10):
listen to the story.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
I start to listen to the.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Discussions and there's no talking, and then Jamie goes, what
are you ask asking her teacher?

Speaker 3 (22:17):
What do you think about this?

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Just about where she's finding and where she's wiping and
getting ready, and chicagoes, I'm not going to say anything
unless I think you need me to say something, she said,
I'm not going to. I want you to be confident
in your learning and your decision making.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
So I'm thinking, man, she's not going to get any
instruction either. It's fine.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
I just tightened my fist and turned my head and
she did. And the only thing she didn't do that
normally they phlebotomists do is they say okay, little stick.
She didn't say that, but she's new and she did it.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
It went in. It felt like a little deeper than normal,
but that could have been my imagination.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
And then when she was out and everything was good
and I loosened my fist, I said, so, how many
have you done?

Speaker 3 (23:03):
She goes one.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Oh, And I was like, that was your first time.
She goes, oh, no, no, she says, I only stuck
you once. She said, you're my ninth stick.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Oh wow, wow.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
Okay, congrats Jamie. Yeah, thank you for.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Being gentle on me and during a stressful time. Anyway, 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 4 (23:30):
And 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 (23:36):
I don't know any of that, none of them.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'm surprised, Mark.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
I mean I can look at the screen and say,
you know what I for.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
I read about them in the stories when I'm looking
for fit.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
But you've never tried to order one.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
No, I'm good with what's on the menu.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
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.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Something.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
I don't think they advertise it as that.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
No, it's actually that.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
That's probably the only quote unquote secret menu item. I'm
a worker because I've ordered it.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
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 (24:29):
Well, I might have to try that to see it.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Works.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
How tall is I don't know if.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
You can order it's a meat mountain.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Sam, I think you're taking your chances, because what if
you have somebody new who doesn't know what the meat
mountain is?

Speaker 1 (24:39):
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, then you're.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Gonna be you'ren have to eat it with a fork.
But still you can order that.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
The word is that Starbucks has another one, butter beer frappuccino. O.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Oh really, it's.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Their cream frappuccino bass caramel syrup and toffee and finished
with a caramel drizzle.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
It's like butter beer butterscotchy.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
McDonald's has some the hash brown McMuffin. Now if they
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.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
But you can order it.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
And most they say most McDonald's knows they know what
it is. Most people know to go. Okay, you might
get up charged, so be it. You're trying to be
secretive talk.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
About I was thinking that a little greasy there.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Well, you have to eat in the car. You could
do this stuff anyway. You could order the two hash Browns.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
And just just take a hash brown and shove it
in the middle with I don't know, but I do know.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
I need to figure out how I can drive with
the meat mountain.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
I can't drive with it.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
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.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
On it in a file of fish.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
So Land lan Sea, Lancy and Air Burgers what that
one's called.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
And finally, at Taco Bell.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
If you order the Incredible Hulk, you'll get their regular burrito.
Instead of sauce, you'll get a bunch of extra gualk.
It's a greenish burrito.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
That makes sense.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Have fun this summer, guys.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
We read and see every single comment that you send in,
so keep them coming eight seven seven three one zero
four MSJ to text or call. You can also hit
us up on social media, which Pat has done.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Grateful for you for this. Pat.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
We had talked about putting your phone in airplane mode
on an aircraft and how it makes me nervous if
I ever forget to do it and I feel like,
oh my gosh, I'm interfering with the pilots.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
I'm a rule follower, you understand.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, sorry, most people do. They do want you to
turn them off every now and then I'll forget in
my iPad or something still on.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Is like, oh what I had read and the plane
still flows can cause buzzing in their headsets, and I
don't want to interrupt the pilots.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
So Pat said this, I heard your.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Comments on the phone on the phone on airplane mode
and the discussion and how or if cell phones could
impact an aircraft. Short answer is they can, although it
is pretty rare. There have been about a dozen incidences
where they actually caused control issues and hundreds where there
were some There was some interference but not enough to

(27:22):
cause any issues. Okay, And so then Pat sent the
long answer which I cannot do. But he was a
design an aircraft design engineer for over forty years. Wow,
and he has an analytical you know explanation. Cool, it's
about the hurt Mega hurts range of the headsets and
the phones and interference and the distance measuring equipment.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Like it's making my brain hurt to read this.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
All you need, Tom, it's the mega hurts range and
the traffic just tell somebody that go away.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
And the t AS which is the traffic collision avoidance system,
and all the interference stuff. But again, at the end
of that long scientific explanation from Pat, this is what
it reads. It's probably not enough to worry about, meaning
having your phone on airplane mode. They are they're more
likely to happen with cell phones in the front of
the aircraft since they're much closer to the antennas for

(28:17):
these systems.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Oh, that would be first class, and we'd never ride
first class.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
That's right, don't not worry about that from.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Us, I guess.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
So the short answer is it's not likely. It's not likely,
But if they ask you to put them an airplane mode,
I always do.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Okay, thank you, Pat. The latest Buzz Jody's Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
We are about to play something for you that is
going to fill your heart with joy. I didn't know
this was coming because well I knew the movie Shrek
five was coming. Yeah, I didn't know they were going
to drop a trailer in our laps this week.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
So here you go, Shrek two.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Tall work friends and Paul Phone another whirl Wind Peak
City Adventure.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Hold this is bad, all.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Right, right right, here's what's up.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
You don't get this movie till June of twenty twenty seven,
so one year from now.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
But they gave us the trailer.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
So to me, if you have younger children who've never
experienced the Shrek movies, this is the time. And then
by the time they're older and in love with it,
they get a brand new movie.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
And if you're an adult who has experienced the movies.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Good.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
And so the favorite this is the part that's actually
going to fill your heart with joy. Is Eddie Murphy singing.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Baby come Back?

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Any kind of fool Cousye? That was something in everything
about you.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
They're in jail. Yeah, that's all I'll tell you. It's
for the young. That's a throwback to what I want
to say, forty eight hours, one hundred years ago with
Nick like some of the some of the first movie
experiences we had with Eddie Murphy. But you're getting them
today in donkey form Shrek five in theaters next year.

(30:02):
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,
and 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, we have decided to
make him super comfortable whether he lives three more months

(30:25):
or three more years. And we had shared that because
he did have a medical emergency.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, I mean it was an episode. It was one
of those where we've had enough dogs, We're thinking this
is 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 (30:49):
He's not trying to get me to take him on
walks anymore.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
That's the only big difference.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, But we started spoiling him, as was our plan
with the vet.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
So the boy is eating butter at night.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Last the other night he had three of my five
chicken nuggets from my kid's meal.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
He guess what, he won't eat anymore.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Now food dog food.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
So we put at the ball and he's like, he's
looking up and look, I used to eat this.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
Yeah, don't you remember. I'm not feeling well.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yeah right, It's just it's lovely and funny.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
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 (31:29):
That's sweet. He's the most human like dog we've ever had.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
He so is, and so he's liking all this.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
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 (31:50):
Joey wants to experiment with something that we've not done before.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Yeah, the fresh food. The fresh fresh dog food that
looks like.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
A big sausage you just slice saw a hunk of it.
Throw all those chubs of ground meat there.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah, so he and Sparky are gonna switch to that
because Sparky's not young either. You know, Sparky just thinks
he's young. Sparky's like twelve years old.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Come on, you don't want to have fun and just
feed it to him and make Sparky mad.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
No.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
In fact, Sparky's been getting nuggets and peanut butter too.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Oh but I just want to thank everybody for the love.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Cassandra sent this.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
My childhood dog was leaving us, and I remember my
mom making him rice and chicken or hamburger for his meals.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
We definitely spoiled him in his last days.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Steven said, we did the same for our docs, and
back in twenty thirteen his last days, we gave him
ice cream and eminem's all that he wanted.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Ooh, anyway, so we're gonna slow our roll into candy.
They were going to the raw dog food today.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
We mentioned yesterday that in Three Things to Know that
Americans are obsessed with cheese, we're a country that's obsessed
with eating cheese, not just because we're all trying to
get more protein, but when we go to the grocery store.
Cheese is almost on everybody's list. And it's so funny
because the top three loved cheeses and it's very American.

(33:09):
It's a very American list. Chatters number one, Mozzarella's number two,
and parmesan parmesan pan is number three. Makes sense, but
it made me think. And then Sam's comment was, what,
no processed cheese food. You probably eat more processed cheese
food than any other country as well.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Look, that was my introduction to cheese as a kid.
American craft, American singles, right exactly. That's what I thought
was cheese until I realized it was a processed cheese food.
I thought this was still delicious.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
I thought that was cheese too. Period. I used to
steal it. I used to steal it because I wasn't
allowed to have it, blah blah blah, and it.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
Was just a I wasn't until I was an adult
when I realized it.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Whatever is good grilled cheese, I will say, yeah, still
love that stuff. I bring it up because it made
me think. One of our friends, Sherry, she was telling
me and we could do this this summer.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
It's something she used to love to do with her girls.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
And was like they had discovered some fantastic like gourmet
grocery stores that carry all the good cheese, even whole
foods whatever. There are cheeses there that you've never heard of,
that you've never had been introduced to. And she said
they would go once a week and everybody gets to
pick out a little hunk of cheese that they wanted
to try, and she would come home and do a cheeseboard.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
That's cool, And the.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Point was something new.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Do not grab gouda if you've had gouda recently, grab
something you've never had before, and you just go home
and have a little cheese and crackers party.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
I love that and you and I have actually done
that before, Jodie and when the movie Chef came out
ten years ago whatever, and that grilled cheese saying that
the blending of cheeses for a cheese sandwich and not
just using your haha, so good.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
My friend Sherry.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
One of her one thing that she realized when doing
this with her kids, that is that she enjoyed the
stinky cheese.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
It had to be really aromatic for her to like it.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
I mean, those are more flavorful than a lot of
cases that's what she said.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
That's what she said.
