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):
I want to address an elephant in the room, and
that is if Sam is single and looking to mingle
and the reason.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. I didn't know that was an elephant.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's on social media because we posted we were sharing
this week about dating being expensive, about the average date supposedly,
I guess, depending on where you live, up to two
hundred dollars. So we posted it asking you what do
you think of this and that The responses have been huge.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Most people like, I'm a cheap date. You know, I'm
a forty dollars date, I'm a twenty dollars date. We've
gotten a lot of that.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
But when it's a picture of Sam, so it's like,
I just want to address the thing in the room
that you are not because there's some quote, is he
single again?

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Is he looking to date?

Speaker 4 (00:48):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah, and you're not interested in dating?

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Not right now? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (00:52):
I mean, and I know you always like to bring
up never say never, but yeah, it's never say never.
But I'm coolhood life is great.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
That's the best way to be cool with the way
you are now, Like being happy is being happy with
what you have, Yeah, not with you know, the promise
of something that may or may not happen.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
So for anyone that really doesn't know, you know, there
we go. Well no, no, I'm just saying if somebody doesn't know,
I mean, you've had a couple of marriages, you've dated
a few times, but you know what made you decide
to finally go? You know, I'm just gonna pause this. Baby.
I just don't.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
I don't, I don't. I don't know how to describe it.
I just don't need it. I just don't.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Fine, it's complicated, and you don't want to have to
go down that path, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, you know what.

Speaker 5 (01:39):
I know me and I know what's going to happen
because it's happened before. And I know, yeah, I can't
predict the future, No you can't, but I know my
progression in a relationship and I know kind of mentally
what's going to happen to myself.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
You feel like you have a pattern.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
Yeah, and so therefore it's like, hey, you know, lay
off and if the right, right, right right person comes along,
great jump on that way.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Right, I will say this, and I don't want to
give any anything away, but one of my favorite shows
of all time got a sequel recently, and that's Sex
and the City and then and just like that, and
they wrapped up and just like that with a major
plot point with someone very important not to get anything away,
coming to terms and being fine with her singleness.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, like this is who I'm in a relationship with
me and I thought.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
That was a beautiful way to wrap that up.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
And so not only am I comfortable with it, but
also it takes a lot of pressure off.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
You know, and you can be yourself more.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
I'm just me, all right, Just the elephant in the
room wanted to address it, and yes, dating is expensive.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Morning pick me up time.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
This one comes from the NFL draft, which was just completed,
and it comes from the person chosen number one in
the draft.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
The Las Vegas Raiders select Fernandoman.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
It sounds like you said, Mendoza, But I know it does, Mendoza.
When you speak all day long, you're going to trip
up teachers, know it.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah, but that was the first announcement of what.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
He was nervous. He could have been pointed it out.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Some of those things happen involuntarily anyway, right, I mean,
you know I can that in the moment you get
your head the right way, but then when it comes out,
not so much.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, all right, onto the morning, pick me up with
Johnny Menoza Fernando.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
And that's that's why Jody is not the commissioner of
the NFL. I'm sorry anyway.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Johnny Mendoza and one of the first things he did
when he was drafted was give as five hundred thousand
dollars half million dollars to the National MS Society.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
And the reason he did that was his mother lives
with MS. I didn't know this, and he wants to
use his platform now his higher platform, to generate more fundraising.
Here's the really cool story. This is great, half million
dollars awesome. But while he was in college, he was
doing this for his mom and for MS Society. When
he was at the University of California, he partnered up

(04:07):
with a local restaurant to create the Mendoza Burrito and
proceeds went to.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
National MS Ressert.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
When he finally got over to Indiana, he created he
partnered with a restaurant to create the Mendoza Burger Nice.
Proceeds from that went to the National MS Society, and
last Christmas he gave four families ten thousand dollars each.
These families affected by MS ten thousand each to go
on a shopping spree at the Adidas store for Christmas.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
WHOA, that is really beautiful, you know. So one of
our coworkers for many years lived for a very long
time with multiple sclerosis. Because it's very very treatable today,
you know what I mean, it still creates issues for
you that were you can't always function the way that
you want to. But it's I mean, it's thanks to
people you know, like Mendoza who were making active donations

(04:57):
and creating awareness that make that possible.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
And his NFL salary first year is going to be
ten million bucks, so more than likely we'll see some
of that, right.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Thank you, Fernando and Johnny too.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I know you're the food dude, Sam, and all respect
to all the you know info you give us.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
But no, no, no, there's not a bit.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I was waiting for a big butt too.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Just however I wanted to.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
However, that's the same thing, that's a lighter butt.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, I was.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Just thinking about it when you finished food Dude earlier
and you that's the job of the food dude to
keep us all abreast of what's going with stories and
fast food and whatnot. It's so funny because everything that
you talk about. I was thinking the other day, you know,
about what we eat and food in general. And one

(05:51):
of my biggest best pieces of advice I ever received,
and I still use it to this day, was years
ago my ob g y N when I was the
first time I was pregnant Murphy with our first child.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
I was so concerned.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
You saw me change my eating habits as soon as
I knew I was pregnant. I was like, tell me
what to eat and what not to eat, and let's
talk about this whole extra five hundred calories a day
and I really can I really have that? And what
you know, I went all in. I mean, Murphy, poor thing.
I got rid of the regular milk. We were frequent
only skim milk. I was bringing home spinach and He's.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Like, wait, where's the hot dogs?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
But she said, you know what, don't overdo Just calm down,
she says, but eat as many things in their whole
natural form that you can and the example being eat
an apple instead of apple sauce if it comes in
a wrapper, is there something else you can eat? And
it was so right and it was such good advice.

(06:46):
And you know that if you eat that way now
I'm not pregnant. You eat that way now, you know
your body knows what to do with real food. I'm
not saying that what's manufactured and in packages and boxes,
and you know, with little Debbie's face on, it's not
that it's not real food. But if it's something that
your grandmother knew, your great great grandmother, well you've heard

(07:06):
that if your great great grandmother knew what it is,
it's safe to eat.

Speaker 6 (07:10):
You know.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Well, oreos been around for one hundred and twenty years,
so that's good.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, but just eating.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
So do you want me to change up the food? Dude?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
No, no, no, no, I think we love the food.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Do you think what you're saying is just it's balanced
like anything else if all you do is eat something
that comes out of boxes and rappers and pay for it.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
And for children who listen to us, I just wanted
to say, you know, there does need to be a
movement about real eating, real food for real nutrients.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Okay, food dude, speaking of that, I really can't wait
to taste the little Debbie peanut butter stuff. There's talking
about all natural ingredients.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
How to sleep on a plane if you really need
to get some shut eye?

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Do people say still say shut eye?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
I don't know. I'll shut mine though they get some
shut eye on the red eye.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Okay, can you really sleep on a plane quickly? Yes?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
No, I can if I'm tired.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Yeah, yeah, Murphy, try to.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
I can't, but it'll catch up to me at some point.
Next thing, I know, my head's popping.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
I don't love the idea of sleeping around strangers. So
I don't like to sleep on a plane. You're surrounded
by strangers, and if you do do that little wake
up thing, it's embarrassing. You scare yourself awake. I'm sorry
you can't smooth that out.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I don't like that. I do like to close door
or gas.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Do you like to close my eyes? That's why I
like the window seat. I know it's not the most
sanitary thing in the world, but I love to lay
my head on the inside.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Of by the window.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Okay, So here's what's up. According to science, the best
way to sleep on a plane. If you are trying
to get some shut eye on the Red Eye or
whatever eye it is. There's not one magic trick, but
controlling light and noise crucial. Your body knows you're not
at home, your body. You are in the air among strangers,

(09:03):
so you have to trick it. You have to bring
an eye mask if you can. You don't have control
over all the light in the plane, but you hopefully
have control over yours. Noise canceling headphones boost your odds
of sleeping on a plane.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, and those have come a long way. Both the
earbud versions and the headphones are greatly improved.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's another thing, though, if I put an eye mask
on and noise canceling headphones on, somebody's gonna have to tap.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Me to wake me up. Now, would you like water?

Speaker 1 (09:30):
I don't know, or maybe they'll break out in a
game of pin the tail on the dawnkey.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
I just honestly, I don't think I've ever fallen into
a deep, deep sleep on a plane, because I just
my body nose and I did. I don't like the
little surprise wake up. The other thing is you'll love
this guys, if you can make it happen, get a
same date, get a workout in before tire your body out.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
That makes sense.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, don't eat a heavy, heavy meal before because it
can make you uncomfortable and make you need to get
up and down. And then honestly think of the childlike
part of all of us. Bring something that's your lovey
or your blanket or your oh comfort.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
Okay, so you're embarrassed to jerk awake, but it's okay
to have your lovey with you.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Well I'm sorry. Well, yeah, my lovey is my comfy
sweater or a blanket.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Okay, it's not less embarrassed embarrassing than drooling on yourself.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Anytime you want to join the conversation, well, of course
we want that. And if you miss us, you can
leave us a voice memo eight seven seven three one
zero four MSJ let's check those now.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
Hey, guys, my name is Amy. I just want to
leave a note with you guys about my biggest pet
peeve at the beach. I would have to say my
biggest pet peeve at the beach is seeing small children
running arounding regular diapers. That yellow goo that comes out
of normal diapers gets in the sand, and it makes
the same situation even worse. I hate it when parents

(10:57):
do that as opposed to putting them in swim dipers
in a saving suit, because the swim dipers don't bust apart.
It's just a courtesy thing. Thanks guys, j I'll have
a good day.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Thank you. Any I don't know that I've actually seen
that before.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, yeah, this is I mean, I know what she's
talking about. It's been a minute.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I mean I know when I was a kid, that's
when pampers were still plastic on the outside, and so
if that got wet with the ocean, it looked like
you were carrying around a sack of potatoes behind it.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
When we had kids, we always murphy when ours were little,
they always swim diapers. But if you did not have
a swim diaper, and you let a kid run around
and they scoot down and they're playing in the sand
and they get water, well, it's a combo of what
they're rocking, yeah, and water that they get that they
don't need.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
It is.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I don't know how they walk around because it's so
heavy and there's something inside of She's right, there's something
inside of the diaper. Probably some chemical that is not
regular diapers are not meant for the beach, or chlorine
or any of that, and so it's just chemicals. And
she's right, it doesn't belong in the beautiful. That's another
thing about the beach. Beach is period. It's one of

(12:03):
the most beautiful parts of nature that we are able
to experience. Is another reason to be kind to it
and take care of it, respect be respectful.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
In fact, when we're talking about beach etiquette and rules,
that's another thing. You've got to be careful about the
what you leave behind.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Don't ever leave any trash behind. You know, it's a
beautiful place.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, I mean that's one that surprises me when I
see people through that or you know, secure things too,
because they may blow down the beach. Yeah, there's always
a little bit of win going.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Join us anytime, you know, we really like having you
along and the beach conversation always welcome as we get
closer to summer.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
I mentioned this about a month.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Ago, and it's one of the most beautiful new things
in my life, and it's that my mom has allowed
me and our girls, Taylor and Phoebe to come clean
her house once a month. Taylor was unavailable. The other
day she was working, so it was just me and Phoebe.
Murphy dropped us off and said.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
See ya, not because I didn't want to clean. Have
you had asked me?

Speaker 3 (13:11):
You know, it's a girl's it's a girl's thing. You weren't.
It was fine. I think Nana was fine with you,
you know, peeling out and leaving.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
But you know, I changed her sheets on her bed
and it's hard for her. She it's meaning, it's hard
for mom to allow us to do that. She would
rather be able to, but she just can't because of
her health right now.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
But what she does is she's the DJ. I told you.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
She blairs music for us while we clean. So man,
it didn't take long. I was just starting to load
the dishwasher when here comes Willie.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
She's really loud.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
I don't get your move.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Did she start with Willy?

Speaker 3 (13:44):
This time with Willie? And she immediately runs to Phoebe.
Do you know this one? Have you heard of him?
And they start talking about it and all that.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Of course it's really loud and she's trying to have
these conversations, so whatever, it's hard to hear.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
But she also drops some otis redding. This time.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
She went way back at the paras. Okay, I mean she's.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Just you know, sitting there flipping.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Around and were going to slow things down a bit here.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
And these are videos too, Like you guess why it
took him longer to clean this time.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
It took less time. It was easier the second time.
By the way, the first time we did a deep clean. Anyway,
I was glad that she also kicked a little eighties
for me. This one brought me into the living room.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Phoebe was like, oh, I do love him.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I love his voice, but I've never seen this, so
she had never seen like the videos of George with
his gorgeous hair and all of that.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
She also did one that she had.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
She's, I think this is going to be every time
we clean, and that's dhite yoakum and Phoebe piecked her
head around and said, is this the guy with the
long legs?

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:52):
And man that goes sure is Phoebe comes see, but
then Murphy comes over to come, comes to pick a
up and she won't starts like she's still playing the DJ.
And so we watched more than one of this. Jerry
Lee lewis you know.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
I think that Phoebe has heard of him, but he's
so far way back, and you know, seeing that kind
of performance, the kids in the audience or whatever that
we're reacting to him is like a different time place.
Everybody looks so different.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
You know, she seemed to enjoy it. We really it's
a beautiful thing to do. I don't mean just the
djaying stuff. I mean cleaning her house. I love doing it.
Time to brag on your grad A lot of graduations
happening and graduates and diplomas being received and degrees being achieved.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Okay, yeah, I really not trying to make it wrong.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
I swear all of that.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
So eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ if
you'd like to brag on your grad CAMMI sent us
this message. My oldest is about to graduate from high school.
She has worked so hard and I'm proud of her.
Me and her two year old brother are going to
miss her so.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Much next year. Ah. It's a game change. You're kind
of a thing. It changes parenting, parenting, it's an ever
changing state.

Speaker 7 (16:09):
You know.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
One of my favorite things that I remember hearing at
a graduation was that not just all about you've accomplished.
You know you're getting your diploma today, but realize that
you didn't get here alone. Your family helped you. Your
teachers helped you, administration, study partners. But your family's been
with you the whole time too. It's another thing. It's
a whole celebration for the whole family, not just a graduate.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
So brag on your grad. Keep that coming.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
We also have some comments rolling into social media about
our youngest daughter's haircut, Murphy Phoeba's pixie cut, and it
is so different and that's a that's a leap of faith.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Guys. I don't think that men. I don't think that
you roll into.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Wherever you get your haircut and go I need something
drastically different.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Women do this and it's a big deal.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
It could have ended badly for her because she could
have been upset about it.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
One of her favorite things about it is that she
feels now it looks correct with those really bold glasses
that she got. She didn't like the way her bold
glasses were looking on her statement glasses and now they
work with the pixie totally.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
And to me, I tell you, And we put a
picture of it of her pixie cut on our socials,
which is why all these you know, comments are rolling in,
Like Jackie, Wow, gave her a whole different look. Love it,
Julie said, At first glance, I thought you were sitting
next to Ariana Grande. A lot of comments about how
I see Audrey Hepburn, that's from Monica and several others
like it reminds Deed, he said, reminds me of Audrey Hepburn.

(17:38):
And you know that I mentioned that to Phoebe, not
even thinking Phoebe's an old soul. And I mentioned that,
not sure if she would understand. She says, Oh, that
was inspo. Audrey Hepburn was inspo. But one of the
reasons it looks so different Murphy, her hair was short.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
It's just short.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Turn now bangs. Bangs are kind of like eyebrow. So
she went way high up. There's a lot more forehead showing,
and that's a difference maker for any haircut. I'm great
bold summer cut. Thanks for jumping in. We love having
you long. I always love it when you enlighten us,
So jump in anytime eight seven seven, three one zero

(18:11):
four m s. J.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
You can call it or text, oh are you Kathy good?

Speaker 8 (18:17):
I have a pet peeve about the beach.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
You go ahead.

Speaker 8 (18:20):
I actually live at the beach, so it really bugs
me when people feed the seagulls the beach you go to,
but they like throw the crackers or whatever up in
the air, and the next you know, there's a whole
swarm of seagulls like flying around their beach towel and
they're pooping everywhere.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yes, yes, I will tell you honestly, the long time
ago I did feed them. It's been a long time
since I did that, because I was like, oh my gosh,
it's so exciting to interact with these beautiful things.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Kids from wanting to do that.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, but I hear it.

Speaker 8 (18:53):
You feed one and then they all come.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
To your Yeah yeah, like flying rats and you you're right,
you unleashed a pest, a swarm of pests.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
On everybody who's trying to enjoy the beach. I thank
you for your perspective.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
We need it.

Speaker 8 (19:10):
You're welcome, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Thank you, Kathy, you too well. You know, and most
condos now won't let you feed. You know, if you're
renting a condo at the beach, they're not going to
let you feed the seagulls off the balcony, that kind
of stuff, because it creates problems below same.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
I never thought of it off the balcony either.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Well that's because that's what we did as kids.

Speaker 5 (19:27):
By the way, just for Kathy and your sake, Jody,
it's a flock of seagulls.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Oh right, you're right, not just that name, okay, And
you're talking about the condo Murphy. Also a lot of places.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
You're not supposed to hang the towel to dry on
the balcony thing.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Another thing I didn't.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Know back in the day when I first was welcomed
into your family, I think I did that and your
mother was like.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Who did this?

Speaker 1 (19:57):
And that's not just an etiquette thing. I mean sometimes
it's look thing, but that's a that's a safety thing too,
because if it goes flying out the balcony, it can
land somewhere, it can hit some you know, I mean
all things like that.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
There's a lot to know.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Anyone can book something and go to the beach, but
do you have all of this knowledge, this etiquette, this
you know, beach game.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
So we want to hear from you on yours.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, and ordinances are different, like everywhere there's some places
that even on the beach, they don't want you feed
in the seagulls. It just depends on where you're going.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
I think Sam is just confused about the towel safety
to one of my non negotiables for self care and
ladies and gentlemen, you should have a non negotiable or
two for yourself or self care. One of mine is
evening walks. Whenever I can get them and fit them
in to my schedule. Murphy knows that I'll take off.

(20:47):
I'll see you in forty five minutes, especially in spring.
I love it. It's not just exercise. Everything in nature,
Oh my gosh, it's like therapy, you know. Let the
sometimes even listen to podcasts or music. Just go walk
and let nature sort of wash over.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
I can always tell when you've enjoyed it because you
come home and usually you've got either a picture of
video or something to share.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah. I do bring the device along.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
So last night, getting close to sunset, I was also
getting close to the house. And for all the messages
we get for people worried about me on my night walks,
I'm not going to get nabbed. I know where I am.
I know my neighbors, and once it starts getting dark,
I get close to the house.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, but last night this is I want you to
hear what I heard at sunset owls?

Speaker 1 (21:47):
That those both owls or is that a hawk in
there too?

Speaker 4 (21:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Well, there's definitely an hour or two because I saw
two owls last night, But then there was something else.
There's so much going on right there, right near our house.
It's like that's the sound of spring. There's so much
going on. Sounds like some maiden calls to me, sounds
like some hey baby, you looking good to me going on.
I waited and waited to see them too, and I didn't.

(22:12):
The ones I saw last night were like down the street,
further down the street. But you know, it's not just
that you don't. You can go out and not have
an encounter like that, but it's still be so.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Good for you.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
You know, you can spend money on therapy and you
can try to find the greatest app in the world,
but everything you really need to calm yourself to get
back to center is out there.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
You guys, don't feel that way. I was raising the country.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
It just depends on what it is. Everybody it's a
little bit different, I think for everybody. Sometimes it's the
visual of a sunset. Sometimes it's a little bit of
a breeze, which is what happened to me last night.
Just kind of felt good. It was slight, yeah, but happy.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
It's all out there. What about you, Sam on your walk?

Speaker 4 (22:53):
A breeze gods.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
A lot of excitement for a lot of families that
time of the year. It's brag on your grad time
eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
So Jamie, you're going on to brag on your grad.

Speaker 7 (23:11):
I am, I'm bragging on my kaboos. Brady, he is
so wonderful. He's about to graduate next month May thirteenth. Yes,
and he was born with cancer and he went through
so much and he's accomplished so much and I'm so
proud of him. Glad he's here with.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Us, no kidding. So what is his next month like?
What is May like for him? Is he already sort
of checked out mentally?

Speaker 7 (23:37):
Yes, he checked out a long time ago. He has
seen your items like crazy, and it takes everything I
have to get him up in the morning. And I'm like, Brady,
it's only seven more days. It's only six more days,
so thank goodness they get out early. But I'm so
proud of him.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
No kidding. It is so hard earned.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
And what's crazy about this sort short little back of
time in his life. He can't wait to put it
behind him. But there will be a time. There will
be a time, no senior beliefs that you look back
and you could do these months again.

Speaker 7 (24:10):
Exactly. I tell him that all the time. I have
three children. My oldest will be thirty this year, and
he Brady will be eighteen. So I've been through it
for years and they yeah, it goes by so fast,
and I tell all of them, please enjoy it while
you can. He's ready, he's ready to get an apartment.
And everything I said, oh you are not leaving the house,
Oh you cannot, you cannot afford an apartment is a

(24:34):
unique as money right now.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Boy, Okay, thank you for this, and congrats to Brady.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, and especially for sharing that journey. That's a lot
more than what a lot of kids go through a
journey through cancer and going through and graduating. So yeah, congrats.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
You know, Jody, I hadn't heard that word senior itis
in a long time, but it's like it brought me
right back to high school because I remember all the tachers,
all the teachers telling us, you guys have senior eyedea,
and you're already out of here.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, and the teachers and everybody knows to expect it,
you know, it's just you can't stop those feelings. They
have come a long way, they've been in school their
whole lives. They're ready for all of this. And then
you will enter one of the most pivotal times in
your life. You will the time between high school and
whatever your adulthood is going to be is pivotal.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
You know, little decisions you make will take you places.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
And even if you don't know what that's supposed to
be right now, that's okay. Give yourself a chance, because
that's the one that really creates anxiety. I think for
those that don't really know what they want to do,
that's okay, And that's okay nobody. You don't have to
have the answer right out the high school.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, just take opportunities as they calm. Everything that you
could do, every job you could take, you'll learn something onward.
Remember that, And congrats to the class of twenty twenty six.
This is really going to be the summer of well
at the box office.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Already.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
We have the Michael Jackson move, we have the Devilwar's
product coming, there's a Star Wars I'm sorry, excuse me,
it's a Mandalorian and gro Goo movie coming next month.
And we have Toy Story five in June.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Who goes there? Who whoa?

Speaker 6 (26:12):
Whoa?

Speaker 4 (26:13):
I come in peace.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
It's been too long, Cowboy. That's a big summer. Huh.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
I'm gonna tell you this.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
The storyline, what we know about this one is so
on point. I think everybody in the family is going
to be affected, mom, dad, grandma and the kids because
it's about tech taking over the world because tech is everywhere.
You know, it's an important part of our lives, but

(26:39):
it's become a part of children's experience with toys as well.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
And so buzz and what are your like? Oh my god,
Tech is here to stay. What are we gonna do?

Speaker 2 (26:47):
And Andy's little sister gets this little thing called lily Pad.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Hi there, I'm lily Pad.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Let's play Extinction not again?

Speaker 3 (26:58):
So all the voices are back.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Cannot wait for the Conan O'Brian toy, which we don't
have a lot of yet, but I think he's a
potty training helper called Smarty Pants or something like that.
But I just want you to know, as with the
irony here is this is a it's a very human thing,
but it's about toys.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
There's gonna be a lot of merch that's rolling out.
That's rolling out too in.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
The summer when this movie lands and we all go
see it, Disney's unveiling all kinds of toy Story five merch,
and some of it you can get now if you
start looking. Mattel has the And this is what's weird
to me, ironic these interactibles, a Woody, a buzz Jesse,
a Forky, even lily Pad. They character recognition and they
communicate with each other in real time and thinking that that's.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
A tac toy.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (27:47):
But this is twenty twenty six.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
I remember when the first Woody came out. All he
had was a pull string.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
I love it so much.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
There's a new pool string running Woody this time around
wood He's getting older, so there's a storyline there about
some hair loss.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
I'll just say that Toy Story five. Oh no, cards
are coming.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, that's fun and that's easy, right, and then there's
a buzz light your Space Ranger laser.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
So that sounds fun.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
So just no, oh yeah, I'm sorry, not a Star
Wars laser. Look for it in June morning pick me
up time and today the morning pick me up is
from Catherine. She sent this email about a pick me
up we did recently, so we're going to just do
it here in the pickup spot. Got it? Hey, guys,

(28:34):
this is from Catherine. I was listening to your show
when you guys were talking about doctors suggesting people get
a pet to help address loneliness and stress. One benefit
of having a pet and something I did not here
mentioned on the show. But to be fair, I may
have focused on my drive through coffee order and missed it.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Is we understand is.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
A sense of purpose. Catherine. I'm so glad you brought that.
I don't think we touched on that that.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Man, It gives you a sense of purpose, give you something,
because otherwise if you're just idle and watching TV or
whatever you're doing, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
This email goes on to read caring for a pet
provides a sense of purpose and meaning to a person's day.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
It also helps people be more in the moment. That
is so true.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
If you're dealing with loneliness, you probably have a tendency
to go back in your mind. And we've all known
a loved one who's just always kind of in the past.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Especially somebody where it's not easy for them to get
out and do things like a hobby or things that
they would normally do.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Anyway, it helps people be more in the moment. Also,
if someone can't manage the financial needs of pet ownership,
they might consider volunteering at a shelter, which is a
win win for the animals, the shelter, and the volunteers.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
That's a great idea.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Always, yeah, always, thank you for a delightful show.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
It is a bright spot in my day. Well that
is from Catherine.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Thank you Catherine. You know she is so right about dogs,
you know, and I guess cats too. But I mean,
for me, dogs because they don't know anything other than
the present. That's what they're focused on, and it keeps
you in the present because you're focused on them.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Look, you guys always say I guess cats too, because
you guys have a difficult time having a relationship with cats.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
And that's fine.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
I don't have people, Yeah, I just don't. I don't
want I mean people who have cats. That's fine, I
don't want them.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
You know, my mom has cats and they are very
important to her. You know that Murphy and Sam has
a cat that he kind of likes.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
It's not important to me.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Thank you so much for giving us that pick me
up today, the sense of purpose that a pet brings.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yep.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
