Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Murphy Salmon Jony after the show podcast where

(00:02):
Jodie's had to bolt out of the studio again. This
won't happen on Monday, we promise.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
She just had a lot to end of becoming a habit.
Maybe I should go back to that work review.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Well, remember she was traveling and so you know, and
she joined us virtually this morning, and so now you
know she's on.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Her way back. Yeah, so I'll be picking her up
at the airport later.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
What we wanted to do is go through some of
the comments and voicemails and things that we didn't get
to do in the full show on air. Yeah, and
so we'll start with some of those right now.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, these are just too good. Earlier in the week,
Jodi had posted a little thing on our socials about
your first day of school being a roller coaster of
emotion and anxiety. So be kind, be patient and get
that precious but reluctant, reluctant first day picture, and Bridget says,
my kids know they're not going to school about the
obligatory first day photo, So now they comply so that

(00:54):
everyone can move along.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, yeah, well you know, the it is so school
of course, or is rolling out across the country at
different times. Some schools go back Labor Day, many start
first second week of August now, and so this yesterday,
yesterday morning, actually, I noticed when I was going to
grab coffee that there were It was really really sweet.
It was a family and a dad and his three kids,

(01:19):
who I would say were definitely elementary, maybe the most
like middle school age, lined up. He was waiting for
the bus. He was pulled on the side and he
was taking that first day picture, and they were all
hugging and smiling. And said they're just sweet because you know,
I mean, Taylor and Phoebe, our daughters are just you know,
and yours are all out of school too, I mean
in college. But you know, it's just sweet to see

(01:40):
that because it's it's a happy thing. And those kids
weren't fighting back on it.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
They were all good with it. These do the girls
still do college first day pictures?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
If they do, that's they're doing selfies.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah. You know what else? We got? Got one about
you and your relationship with your insulin pump. It was
a post from earlier in the week. Rebecca had a
comment on it. She says her husband will tune out
hearing his pump. She's the one that has to tell him,
you're beeping. Lol. Really yeah, yeah, I mean that yours

(02:13):
is pretty loud.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I mean it's loud. It'll get my attention if I'm sleeping.
Sometimes it doesn't wake me up, but it's not. It
doesn't put me in a it doesn't put me in
a bad spot. Yeah, but I guess on the show
we were talking about it gets aggravating at times, but
you know, when you've been wearing it for so many years.
That's why there are a couple of my friends who
are Type one also instul independent that you know, have
been that way since teenagers. Also that you know, you

(02:36):
just it's your ball and chain. So you're going, Yes,
you get used to it, yes, you know, but there
are times where it just it's going to be inconvenient
at the moment it tries to remind you.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
What I guess, I really don't know. What do you
do when it comes to like swimming or taking a
bath or a shower. Do you take it off or
do you have to wrap it?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, mine's not don't. I don't know that any of
them are actually waterproof. I think some of them say
that they you can wear them down to a certain depth,
but they're so expensive and insurance only gets them. Yeah
every I think insurance will pay for it every five
six years something like that. So yeah, I'll always take
it off the shower, the part of the tubing that
just stays in me, which is basically you know, a

(03:16):
needle that that's not a big deal. I'm not going
to soak in a top. If I've got that, I'll
have to remove the whole thing and then put it in.
And then with the addition of the the CGM, the
continuous glucose monitor I'll call it, also called the dex calm,
the sensors that read your blood sugar. Those are supposed
to be able to go to a depth for a
little while. Also, but I always put what they call tegaderm.

(03:37):
Do you know what that is? It's a dinosaur it
sounds like it now if I mean, you can buy
it at Walgreens or CBS. It's basically just a clear sheet.
It's almost like saran wrap for your skin. But they
call it tegaderm because it goes completely flat and seals
whatever it's.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
On top of.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
So that way I don't have to remove because if
you take like the CGM part out, those are they
you can't put them back in for one thing, and
your session's done and you only get a limited amount.
Insurance is really tight on. There are no extra cgms,
so if you waste one, you're a you're without it, right.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
So and then you know when we went Jody and
I went away for the weekend and I was riding
the Seado and all that. I just take it off
same thing, you know, take a derm over it.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's it's easy.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I can be disconnected from it for about forty forty
five minutes and you know.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
It works.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
It'll be like crazy if I if I you know,
of course it's not on me. Actually, that's what everybody notices.
When it's sitting away from me, it starts beeping because
it can't find me. It's lonely.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah. Got some sandwich comments too, This is my favorite one.
Jody had posted a picture of a po Boy Hogy
sub with a lettuce and tomato and all that on it,
and that's what your favorite sandwich is. So we got
a number of comments. Kimberly says, a Caprici crusted Italian bread, tomatoes,
fresh mozzarella, basil and a drizzle of syrupy balsamic vinegar. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
And you know, there are a lot of there are a
lot of restaurants that are doing that now for lunches,
and I think Starbucks even has one of their little
lunches to go. That's that's the caprisy. So the salads
made it over to sandwich. Yeah, it's very good if
you've never had it.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, I've had the salad, but never the sandwich. Paul.
Paul says, A toasted croissant with turkey and cranberry sauce,
spry and spicy brown mustard. That's different. Yeah, Valerie taking
us back away, she says Kmart subs were awesome.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I don't remember Kmart even having subs. Did they have
like a diner in there.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Or something like that. The Kmart by my house when
I was growing up, I don't remember food being available.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
It could, I mean I was, I mean I was
so little, you Kmart, I don't remember when it when
it went away.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
And also Rabina says, leftover meatloaf sandwich on sour dough
with mayo and brown mustard or a good German mustard.
It's a nostalgia sandwich from my childhood. Yeah, so making
meat loaf tomorrow for dinner so I can have a
sandwich the next day. That's good. You know what.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
It's so true when you have something that reminds you
of childhood like that, it's like an extra level of
love for that sandwich.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
To me, almost anything on sour dough, though, is a winner.
Sour dough is just some of the best bread.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah. Whenever I go to a diner and it's like
we eat white sounds like sour dough. Yeah, sour dough.
Give me sour dough. I just love it. Yeah. It
reminds me of being a kid too, because whenever we
would have meat loaf, I would get the meat loaf
sandwich next day, Oh would you? Yeah, they would fix
it for me. Or on Sunday's dad like to grill barbecue.
So usually on Monday, I got whatever leftover burgers or

(06:38):
hot dogs or whatever for your school lunch. Yeah, a
burger on white bread. He's like, yeah, okay, still a burger.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah exactly. I you know, my favorite sandwiches, honestly are
a Ruben. I'm never gonna not do a Ruben or
a Postromi sandwich. I'm gonna have to try that, you know, somewhere,
just because everybody does it a little bit differently. A
Cuban sandwich is always a winner. Oh yeah, you know,
and you know, I would say that those are probably

(07:07):
those are probably at the top for me really. Any
of the Italian deli sandwiches that are you know, the
really high fat ones like that have mortadella when you
know that version of the meat on it, it's more
marveley with the fat, like it needs more fat. Yeah,
you know, in the muffle out of type, the Italian salad,
just all of that.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Is just yeah. Mine is I can do that shrimp
po boy whenever I can get a fried shrimp, Yeah,
lettuce and tomato and everything on it. That is so good.
And then one from childhood, my mom used to always
do this whenever she was making lunches. She would get
like three different kinds of lunch and meats. Should get
lunch and meat, ham and roast beef that she get

(07:45):
the family packed. The one that had should have them
sliced like whatever, oh okay from a deli, yeah and so,
and then it would be your sandwich. I don't even
remember what she called it, but should put all all
the meats on the sandwich, so you'd get one that
was roast, beef, hand and lunch and meat all in
the same.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
That's like a club sandwich. It's real, except for the
luncheon meat one, which is kind of the odd odd
one out.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I thought luncheon meat was just a normal thing, and
when I grew up and started, it's like, oh so
this is just kind of like everything squished.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, it's hot dog in a low form.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, exactly. My mom always would buy the if it
was Oscar Meyer. That's what it was, the Oscar Mayer
four pack, and I don't remember what it had in it. It
had Canadian bacon and baloney, and it had probably a salami,
probably something like that. It might have even had like
the permita what do they call that olive loaf that
it could have had that.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
In there too. Yeah, that was you know, that was
her choice.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Anyway, you can share yours with us to keep that
thread going on our Facebook page.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Let's switch over to.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Twenty four our voicemail that we missed you know this week,
because it is it's back to school, you know, in
a lot of places and so, you know, Jody had
brought up the you know, the talking to your kids
in the car after ask them how their school day is, right,
just at least connect and sometimes you're not going to
get much of an answer. And so we got some
voicemails on that, and we'll check one of those right now.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Hias. Deborah from Badalia, Louisiana talking about having a conversation
with your children after school and you know, what do
they learn that day? And I would ask them, you know,
what did you learn today? And they'd say nothing, and
I'd say, well, the next day, I'd ask them, well,
did they teach you how to spell your name today? Yes,

(09:34):
that's what I learned today. You know. That was always
an ongoing joke and uh and it made for a funny,
you know, lighthearted conversation. I never I never found out
what they really learned that day, but it was it
was a funny thing because the answer was always didn't
learn anything.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, just thought that.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
I'd share that with y'all. Thanks for all y'all's laughs
and fun and information and everything, and y'all have a
great great guy.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Thank you, Deborah, thank you for leaving that voicemail. I
think that's the most common thing is. I know that
Jody was able to strike those conversations up, but you
it's if you think about a kid coming home from school,
it's almost like you coming home from work. If you
get asked, hey, what did you do today? At that moment,
that's not when you want to rehash, right, you may
be able to get it later, And so I think
that it's very common to have the you know, we

(10:24):
didn't really learn much today or whatever. I think it's
funny that she made a running joke then of by
feeding them things that they.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
One of these I learned Jody suggested is to not
ask them yes or no questions or questions or they
asked or no answers. Try to ask your kids something
that's gonna elicit yeah, a real answer.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Right, but it probably needs to be more specific than
what did you learn today?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Exactly, because then you're gonna get nothing right.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
As long as we're going back through, uh, you know,
things in this past week that we didn't get a
chance to get to. In the show Sam's Mom, you
were telling the story about your mom falling and busting
her head.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
She slipped at chart and everything's fine from the neck down,
but she had a couple of holes in the back
of her head. I busted her head. So she had
to go to the emergency room and she got staples
in her head instead of stitches.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, And the doctor had given her a tool or
the emergency room doctor gave her a tool and says,
when you go to your regular doctor to take them out,
bring this tool because sometimes doctors don't have this tool
to remove staples. I'm sure it's some medical tool, not
the usual staple remover like y have at home, right exactly.
And she was gonna attempt to do it or say, yeah,

(11:31):
I could do this at home if you give me
the tool. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
So we got to talk back on the talkback mic
on the iHeart radio app, by the way, which you
can do when you're listening to the podcast. If you're
listening to it on the iHeart Radio app, you'll see
that red mic. You can send us a message that way. Also,
So here's one one hit.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
His head on cement and had to have four staples
put in his head, like you talked about with Judy
this morning. Yes, the doctor does have a special tool.
He showed it to us and how it worked, but
luckily our doctor had the right tool. Thanks for sharing,
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
I guess it clipped off the beginning of what you
were saying there, but yeah, so same thing.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
And as long as you're not hard headed and we'll
let the doctor do it. You know you're not like
miss Judy. I'm gonna have to find out why they
do the staples things. I mean, I guess because if
you can't pull enough skin together to do stitching, and
maybe that's very difficult to do in that part of
the head. I just you know, she says she didn't
feel it, and I was like, really she didn't. They
gave her some kind of topical stuff. Yeah, so I

(12:31):
don't know if they like conk or how they put
staples in ouch. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
I think the same way too. We'll reach out to
us anytime. You've got so many different ways. You can
hit us up on Facebook, all of our socials, Instagram, TikTok.
You can also comment on YouTube, send us an email,
call us at eight seven seven three one zero for MSJ,
or use the talkback Mike. Like we were just saying, now,
we always love to hear from you most.
