Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Murphy Salmon Jody Weekend Replay podcast. Twelve of
our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
What does it mean if your older dog sleeps all
day or just sleeps a lot. This is a question
that I've been asking myself a lot lately, Murphy. You know,
because our Champ, my favorite animal on the planet, he's
a person, he's not even a dog. Is sleeping a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
He's snoring makes him sound like a persona.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
He sounds like an old man sleeping. And he sleeps
a lot now, and he sleeps deeply like nothing wakes him.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
My dog, Gus, he's eleven or twelve, I don't know
what he is, but he started doing that. It's been
over the last year. Correct, whatever's gone on. He flops
and in the snoring starts. It's just he'll get up
from there and move over to here and flop and starts.
It's just constant sleeping.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Here's what I've learned an older dog. It is normal
for them to sleep sixteen to twenty hours a day day.
It is a normal part of the aging process as
they get really old. And I did the math. Champ
is about twelve, possibly thirteen years old. Yeah, Okay, so
we're talking, you know, older, So what can you do well?
Number one, let them sleep, leave them alone. Let them sleep. Also,
(01:17):
provide plenty of comfortable places for them to snooze in
the house and then want to all of theys be
in that one place. You know, maybe they want to
be with you sometimes. Make sure they have a comfortable
place to sleep in snooze and know that it's normal.
Now changes in appetite and changes in you know, if
they seem like they're having pain getting up and down,
then you might want to think, okay, is there something
(01:38):
else here we need to investigate and you need to go.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
To the vet.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
But it sounds to me the way you're describing this
we should always treat them like a grandparent at that time,
the same way you would treat a grandparent as the
way you want to treat an older.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Of course, they number more understanding and love and attention.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
The cliche lipping dogs lie.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Another couple of things. Yes, they could still use some
toll exercise, little short walks, and chances are they still
want it. You know, Champ definitely does we go every
time I put tennis shoes on. He knows he's up
and he's ready to go. He can't go as far anymore,
but he still loves to do it. The other thing
that's sad to me is another reason that an older
(02:17):
dog is sleeping sixteen hours a day or more is
because the oak for whatever reason, the overnight sleep is
more disrupted. That's why he wakes up shaking his ears
or whatever in the middle of the night. Several times.
I know Murphy would complain about him waking you up.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, that head shaking, the little scary.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah. So just know that it's normal. Let them sleep,
give them your extra love and care right now. And
if you have other concerns beyond just the amount of sleep,
then see the vet.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now do they all show start to get hungry for
dinner like at four o'clock? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Eight seven, seven, three one zero four ms Jay to
join the conversation in time.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
How are you, Divina?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I am doing great. But you were asked a question
about long living dogs. Yes, and I had a beautiful
tweeny dotson. Her name was Cheyenne. She was a gift
from from my husband for Valentine's Day and we had
to put her down the year of COVID. She was
(03:24):
eighteen and a half years old.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And she was the sweetest dog in the world. This dog,
what she had as a puppy, and her behavior, her attitude, everything,
it carried all the way through to her old age.
She was never snippy.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
She loved children. She was just the greatest dog in
the world.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, sounds like the perfect dog.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
It broke my heart to lose her.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
No kidding. Eighteen years is a very long time for
a pet or a dog.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, and she was my baby.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
We called her she Yeah, it's oh so sweet. I'm
sorry you lost her, but I'm so glad you had her.
One of my favorite things, one of the favorite things
I've ever heard about dogs, and it's true, is that
we don't deserve dogs.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, thank you, Divina, We appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I love that you had a nickname for your dog, too,
Shy Shy, and we do that at our house. Yeah,
Champion Cakes that's what I call him sometimes.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, Champ. He's got all sorts of little variations on
his name.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
You call your dog gus what he's Gus, He's gustaferr,
He's he's Gus Gus. He's also goose.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And it makes you wonder if they really if they
respond to all of them? Do they really respond to
any favor?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
They know?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
He's just pick why right now?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
No, they know. I think they know they do. They're
so smart they know when you're talking to them. But
thank you for the call, Divina. Based on that earlier,
you know, conversation we were having, it is completely normal
for older dogs to sleep sixteen twenty hours a day
because they just require more sleep as they get older.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, and our oldest dog, Champ, is you really think
he's twelve?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
He's twelve or thirteen.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
He's a large breed dog and so that's that's pretty old.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
He was four when we got him. I don't know
if I don't think I did the math wrong. So
keep it coming, Join us anytime eight seven seven three
one zero four MSJ. In yesterday's After the Show podcast,
we were digging into Chick fil A's waffle fries and
the changes they have made so that they are crispier longer,
(05:34):
and they've added p starch pea starch for that. That's
what they've done to the coding on the outside. This
is the word from Chick fil A. And then they've
also removed like up to eleven allergens, but a few
you know, angry voices on social media thought they were
gross blah blah blah. So what did I do yesterday?
(05:55):
After running errands? Yeah, and I knew I was coming
back up here to work. I picked up a kid
meal you like you buy the kiddie meal with like
it's got five nuggets, and it's and some fries and
a little toy five nuggets, ma'am. And so anyway, I
was back. I was coming back into the building and
I see Sam leaving and I'm like, wait, wait, wait,
(06:16):
wait wait, And I offered you the bag. I'm like,
do you want to at least try one? And so
what did you What did you think?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I tried one waffle fry and it tasted like Chick
fil A waffle fry?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Correct, I you know, come up the elevator. I'm walking
in the building. I walked straight to Murphy's office. He's
not in his office, but what's sitting on his desk
is an empty Chick fil A bag.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You know, here's the thing on that. I thought for
a minute about trying the waffle fries again, but I
didn't get them. Yesterday. I got nuggets and a fruit coat.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Oh the whole January thing, so you don't even know?
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
No, don't.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I threw away the fries. I had one and then
threw them away.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
What you don't throw away fries.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I wasn't really hungry for them. I bought that because
I thought I was gonna run into both of you,
and you weren't here getting me, see producer faith, I
didn't se anybody.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Did you confirm the location as being the location that's
using the new starch whatever peach starch? Okay, inspector, because
the last time that I had them was a week
and a half, a week ago or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Like we're talking about the podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Them like your job.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
They tasted fine, here's what's up.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I did try one before I threw I threw them
out because I wasn't hungry. I bought I bought that
for the taste test, okay, for us for an experiment.
They do taste crispy or on the outside. To me,
they don't taste a lot different, like it.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Tastes like a waffle frying.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But I definitely can tell there's coat. There's a different
sort of coating. Oh really yes, And you know I
would be sensitive that because why your teeth?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You like soft fries?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I love soft it's to crispy for me. Yeah, I
would Sam know me better than you.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
My sample though, was one, so I a whole thing
of them.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, you know, it's still.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
In the garbage.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
New Year, New meals, some meal ideas are favorites and
easy and perfect for January online for you at murphysamon
Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And speaking of New Year, there is a new term
that's popped up for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Oh already.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Actually, I'm kind of surprised it could have been a
word of the year, I think of twenty twenty four
because it's not a new thing. It's called app fatigue.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Oh I got it.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, I guess you could kind of figure it out
from the name, right, Yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
One app in general, are just too many apps in
your life.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's too many apps. It's because it's all because there's
an app for that, you know what I'm saying. It
all started out originally as that. But they say that
the three biggest areas of like total app fatigue where
people are just burned out. One of them is healthcare right.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Having to log in, but I for everything.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I mean Honestly, I like that one for me. I
like having access to all that. But you know, part
of it is like every provider has a different app
or whatever trying to keep track of those, So that's
you know, that's that's one of them. Dating app fatigue.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I wouldn't know about that.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I know, I don't know about those, but you kind
of blew that one off, Sam.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Because of fatigue.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You have fatigue of that a couple of years ago. Sam.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, what do you think is the number one category
for a fatigue?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Authenticating at work?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Logging in it's work period.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
As if someone else would want to log in and
do your work? Yeah, I saw that meme. It's like,
who's trying to Why do I have to authenticate so
many times to do my own work as if somebody else?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Let everybody who cares?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Right, Yeah, securities, because I'm surprised now, that's one that
should probably be there, because like authentication, af fatigues. I mean,
I get it. I know security is a thing, but yeah,
you're right, it's tiring. But the work category of apps
is the most fatiguing for everybody because because of different
companies use everything sometimes, Yeah, you have some companies that
are Microsoft ecosystems. You have some that are Google, you
(09:52):
have some that are pieces and parts of all of them.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You know, you know when when all of this began
in our lives, slowly but surely, when the phone became
a smart device.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
When it was fun, when.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I remember thinking, if we've said these words before when
discussing this, you have to self regulate for your own
mental health. Yes, you can do anything on that device,
but should you know?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Well, I think maybe some businesses should go kind of
like purge and take a look at what you've layered
over the years. You know, it's a fatigue, right because
you've got Monday dot Com and you've got you know, Asana,
and you have all these project apps that a lot
of different businesses use and slack Which one do I
use today? Who much? You know what I'm saying, So
workout fatigue. That's the biggest one, the number one category.
(10:40):
It's not game, Sam huh.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
We read and see every single comment and question there.
In fact, we asked yesterday what do you do in
the month of January to keep the January blaws away?
Because January is January scary. It can be, you know
it just there's a certain feeling to it. You're letting
go of the you know, this big celebratory time and
(11:07):
then here it is this month.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, and lasts a year.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It feels like it does. At the end of January,
it's like, man, that was a long year. Yeah, So
what do you do to keep it away? Because we
have to try you have to try to beat January.
Courtney says, taking it one day at a time, keeping
myself busy a being a wife and a mom. It
goes pretty fast for me. That's a good way. Terry says,
(11:31):
organizing kitchen cabinets, drawers, closets a yearly ritual, but one
that is therapeutic, and then donating much of it to
good wik Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I think there are a lot of people that do that.
I think we mentioned that on our first day back
that you know, I was at Goodwill and there were
a ton of other people that same day.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Where if you if you like to thrift, this is
the month.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
A lot there's a lot of stuff now, it may
it may take a while. I don't know what the
back of a thrift store looks like, but to me,
it's probably a mountain of stuff that they have to
go through and sort and then place in the store.
So to me, January February March is a good time
in Thribs. I don't know, Peggy says, January is my favorite.
(12:15):
A great this is for you, Murphy, A great time
to set goals for the coming year. That's right, and
focus on personal growth and fewer distractions. Ah, fantastic to me.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's a natural the first part of the year. For
one thing, if you use like a planner, you've got
the fresh book that you're working with. All of that
feels fresh and bring.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Using a planner sam Wow, Sherry says, purging some junk
out of my house. If I'm not used it or
not worn it in the last year, why do I
need it? And of course listening to you guys, thank
you sweet, That is sweet.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Why is she purging us or listening?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
No? No, no, no no. Keeps the blaws away by listening
and also does purging another one another. Terry says, keeping
my Christmas decorations up until February. That's keep away, man,
what an idea? What's so funny about that? That's about Uh,
that's personal though, because for me it helps me to
get them down. I've already taken them down.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, it's different, different folks on that one.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Keep it coming. We love having you along. If you're
doing a major home clean out at this time of
the year, you are not alone. Goodwill consignment stores a lot.
This is when they get boxes and boxes and bags
of things because we do a nice clean out, we
do a home edit and it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It's almost like the New Year's purge is bigger than
spring cleaning. Now.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Maybe, yeah, it's a good time to go in a
week or two. I mean, it's a good time to
go if you're looking for a brand new shiny I
don't know, blender or something like that. Oh yeah, I'm sorry.
Not brand new, although you can find sometimes when you're
looking at consignment stores, you'll find in WT new with tags.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
It is a thing, No, I see it. It's new
in WT. If you shop for things online that are
gently used, sometimes they're in WT. Okay, okay, So what
to donate you guys? Ready, toys are appreciated gently used
in good condition.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Not to new ones.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
They could be what if your kid never played with it?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh that's true.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Wow, let it have life with some other, you know,
another child. Legos would be huge to come across. No
kid drifting, gently used clothing, coats, gently used shoes, those
get looked at and bought. Murphy, I'm gonna do a
category for you. What computers and electronics as long as
(14:42):
it's usable.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, not something so old, you know what. Here's the thing,
and I didn't know this until a few years ago.
A lot of not all, but many, like Goodwill, will
recycle electronics too, So even if it's something that's not
usable or out of date, they will facilitate recycling.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
How does that work.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I don't know if they partner with some buddy to
take it.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Okay, okay. Also furniture, Yeah, that's a big one. I
mean it's hard, you know, it's more of a hassle
to get it there than just a box of stuff.
But think about someone who does who can't afford a
new sofa, and your old sofa is new to them. Yeah,
as long as it's comfy.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
How about kitchen items?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Big One Appliances is definitely on the list.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Well, because the reason I asked that is I think
that you know you and I took a box the
other day, Jodie and the box. There's a pan that
the eggs were starting to stick to and we wanted
to try to donate it. But I looked at it. It
didn't it wasn't like clean.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
You throw it out?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
No, no, no, I didn't throw it out. It's just
like I put it up there, and I'm thinking, they're
not going to resell this baby, you know, but they'll
take it.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Was very clean. It was clean. It was it's been
gently used.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Oh it's been more than gently. It's done.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
It's in WT.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
No, not at all.

has to be somebody who priced that wrong or didn't
do the correct you know, correct.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
If you find something like that, grab it and don't
just think about it in one bats. That's that is
a rare, a rare thing to happen. Like that hair
tool I bought recently, that hair tool that I use
every morning to put these little ringlets at the bottom
of my hair.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah, but didn't you pay fifteen bucks? And it's only
worth like a hundred twelve hundred dollars coach back.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I'm not saying it's as good as Nikki, but I
paid less than ten for it. I paid tennis and
it was a ninety nine dollars hair tool.

Murphy and I stayed home a lot. I hope we're
not sick of each other because here we are at work. Yeah,
and Sam, you did some solo travel again.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah. I went out to Cali, California to visit my
son Jackson, who's living out there, and it was a
fun trip. I wish I had another three or four days,
oh yeah, because it was just too quick.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You can't see everything.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
No, Well, it's it's there are things I wanted to see,
but I put that to the side, of course, because
it's like, whatever Jack wants to do, let's go do something,
because I know he's got stuff he wants to show me.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, well so dad.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
The only thing I got my way on was eating
at a pizza place that I wanted to eat at.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
That was okay.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
They have a pizza called the hundred and twenty Pepperoni.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Oh whoa did you count them?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Jackson started, He's counting the slice. He's counting the pizza.
The jack They're all different sizes.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Quit.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But Christmas Day was great. We all fixed breakfast for
the house. He's got a bunch of roommates. He lives
in the Sober House. We did I did French toast
for everybody, and we had we had all kinds, all
kinds of eggs and bacon and gravy, and you know,
you do.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Most of the cooking for everyone and wow them, or
I just did the French toast part because somebody else
was doing all that.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
After that, we went and visited some of his friends,
and we also had time to kill in the afternoon,
so we drove down the Long Beach to see the
Queen Mary. Yeah, the big boat.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
We were going to take the tour, but it was
like fifty bucks a person. It's like, yeah, and we
didn't have time really because we had to get back.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
But the Queen Mary was Elizabeth spoke.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
The but you're looking at me with the question. I
want to say, yes, but please the whole night.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Since I didn't pay the fifty bucks, I can't answer it.
There were people checking in because it's us. It's a
hotel now, and you know, and and there were nighttime tours.
There were only fifteen bucks. I mean, I didn't have
a day to do this, but I told Jack, I said,
this is the tour to take. Come out here at night,
go back because it's haunted supposedly.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Do you feel better about him now that you've seen
I know, he moved out there and you had not
seen him, but he knew he was in this house.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
October year ago. Yeah, it was my first time seeing
him and it was it was great and it was
real hard to leave. Oh, he's doing so much better
than he has in the past. He's got he seems
to have everything together. He's heavily involved in the church,
and running sound at his church. Yeah. So it was
a great trip, fantastic. I can't wait to go back.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
January is a great time to clean out. And if
you're doing major cleanout else and donating good make sure
that you know it's gently used stuff and get it
out of your life and someone else maybe could really
really use it or have a really awesome find. And
so we were hearing about your thrift store consignment finds
eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
What's your fine, Kimmy.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
I was in my local goodwill. I found this little
teacup that looked so cute. Is going to be for
my mom? So it was ninety nine since I bought it.
I went home, looked up on the internet. It was
over one hundred dollars worth.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Please tell me you sold it?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Oh no, No, I still gave it to my mom's.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
You have a heart of gold. Did you tell her
it was worth a hundred bucks?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yes? I told her and she was like. She also
told me I should have sold should have sold it,
But I did it.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
And little teacup, you're sweet? What did it look like?
Is it like blue and white or like intricate? Yes?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yes, it was blue. And white, and the saucer was
like wavy, the lip of the saucer was wavy. Instead
it's straight, and it was very dainty and tiny, right.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Like five twenty dollars bills to me, Sorry, mom, I know.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
And now all I can think about is going there
and finding nice china now to resell it.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's funny when you're looking for that though you don't
find anything, you happen into you backwards, fall into a
screaming deal like my polo bag, my Ralph Lauren polo bag,
which I've been using as a tote for two years
because I paid six bucks for it.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Exactly exactly. I can't find anything else now. It just
happens to pop out.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
At me especial little magical things.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Thank you for this, Kimmy, Yeah, no problem, thank you all.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I think that if it were a copy of the Constitution,
I would resell it something like that. But if it's
but if it's like, you know, a hundred bucks difference
or something, to me, it's like the victory of the find.
That's why you want to keep it in nut sell.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It dollars though, yeah, bucks is a lot to me.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
We didn't ask her as if her mother sold it
after she got it.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Well, join us anytime eight seven seven three one zero
four MSJ Moms, you'll appreciate this, Murphy. You probably didn't
even know about this happening on Christmas Eve at our
house when we you know, knew that half the family
was coming to us, which was fine. I was ready.
I had to go into an uber host mode more
(23:37):
so than normal.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You know, working around a little sickness and making sure
that the healthy people stayed in the healthy spot.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I was making the Christmas tree cake dip. Murphy was
overseeing it.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Take Oh, that's right, the little Debbie Christmas cake dip.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Our oldest Taylor, who works at a catering facility and
you know handles, you know, bartending and prep and all
of that for weddings and big occasions. She has learned
how to make some really called drinks and she makes
these pomegranate martini's. But she only knows how to make
them in bulk, like, in massive amounts.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
That sounds like an excuse when I was drinking I
would have used.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
So I can't let it go away.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
So she said, Mom, can I make you know, pomegranate
marchin Christmas Eve and my cousins were like, what, yes, so,
and I'm so glad that you were okay with that,
Murphy since you don't drink and haven't had a drink
in years.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
She made me a virgin version of it was good.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
What's up, though, is that she said, mom, I have
to go to work and get the big thing to
mix them in because you don't have anything big enough.
I'm like, okay, exactly. I thought I have a punch
bowl that she she only got to make it in
big amounts, and it was actually good because we drank
most of it. The problem with my cousins and our guests.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
The container though, said tea.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, this is what's finally.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Careful to make sure abody understood this was alcohol tea.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
What so, this is why moms will appreciate this. You
didn't even know this when she went and picked that
up and brought it in. It's not attractive, you know.
It's it's one of those big aluminum things that says tea,
and it has the spout or whatever. And she knows me.
I'm hosting. I care about how everything looks. I have
beautiful dishes, I want beautiful pictures, you know, I want
(25:23):
things to look at her.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
It's Christmas Eve around there.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
No, anyway, she walked in before she was even two
steps in and I saw it. She said, Mom, I know,
I'm just gonna use this to mix it and we
can stick it in the laundry room. She knows me
so well.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Laundry really was so cute.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
And it's funny because cousin Phil said the same thing.
Why don't we just wrap some tensil around this? We
did not there. We used my pretty pictures and it
was really nice. You notice that we use pretty pictures.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
No, just I enjoyed my mocktail. I wasn't paying attention
to these anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Thank you Taylor for doing that and for knowing your mother.
When you hear the words phone anxiety, I mean to me.
I guess I think in our time and our culture,
the first thing that jumps to my mind would be, oh,
where I can't live without it. I can't be without
it this device.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh yeah, right, exactly, your phone's at home, you're in
the car.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
That's not what phone anxiety actually is the opposite, right,
I guess it all the time. It's a certain group
of people, and it's young people who are very anxious
about making a phone call, making a voice call, speaking
to someone on the phone. Now, what's so funny about that?
(26:37):
For me, it was the greatest day in my life
when I was able to get a phone in my
room when I was a teenager and you know, talk
to my boyfriend all night or whatever I was, or
have private conversations instead of having them in the kitchen
with the long cord. My dad would walk in and
I would try to hide in the pantry, you know,
so he wouldn't hear what I was saying to my friends.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And so back in the days of the home phone.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Right, so fast forward to today. Yes, there are plenty
of younger people who have had these devices in their
hands their whole lives, and it's which are called phones,
but they don't use them that way. Yeah, And so
they're not schooled in the art of having a conversation or.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
It's just not a comfort zone thing. Sure, if you're
used to texting.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Anytime I've told our girls that you call somebody, they're like, wait, would.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
That anxiety be the same for FaceTime? I guess it
would be when you're calling a stranger.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
It is always when you're calling a stranger you know.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I mean so like when I was a kid, I
can remember my phone anxiety was whenever it was a girl,
I wanted to ask out for the first time, I couldn't.
I couldn't dial the phone.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, those are a whole other issue involved with that,
but yes, it was the phone. So I bring it
up because there are some gen zers who can now
take a college course in this. Nottingham College in England
has added phone confidence to its curriculum.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, yeah. Teachers run them through drills that mimic typical
phone scenarios like I say, you need to.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Call when it rains, pick it up and say hello.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
This is a good life skill. It's not funny, it's
a good life skill. What if you have to call
someone about something very important for your pharmacy or something.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh yes, absolutely, if you're intimidated, if it's something that, yeah,
you reach out to somebody that you perceive is bigger
than you are, more sanitative.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
If you have children, it's something to be aware of
to work on.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Good point.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Social media connect for our Instagram and Facebook pages. This
came into you from Sam from Stacy. Stacy says, what's
the name of the pizza place in California where you went.
I'm heading out there next summer and want to try it.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
H Buratinos. You are are Atinos. I follow them on Instagram,
so I know they're on Instagram, and they post these
pictures of these amazing looking pizzas and where Jack's. There's
a bunch of locations and where Jackson, my son lives
out there.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
This is your solo trip to see him.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, there's one that's like two blocks away. So it's like,
we're going there. And he was glad after I took
him there because it was just it was so good.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
What are they known for pizza?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
They have a one hundred and twenty pepperoni pizzas they
claim to fame.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Did they actually for sure put one hundred?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I don't know, because ours looked like it had a lot,
and we watched him making others and they were just
sitting there like it's like dealing cards. It's one twenty one.
Take that one off.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Were they big fat pepperonis?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Regular pepperoni? They have cup ones, but this was regular pepperonis.
They also had special meat ones, like a bore pepperoni.
They just wanted a regular pizza and They have pizzas
called lava pizzas, which is like extra cheese cheese inside. Yeah,
and you can watch to make it there. That's what
I like too. It's like watching it.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Have you ever tried to throw the dough in the air?
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, I'm getting there. Oh, I'm not a thrower yet.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
But you're a taser.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I'm not a talker. I'm gonna put it on both
knuckles and roll it around. I'm not a thrower or
a tassa. I'm just a stretcher right now.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Got it? Little baby stuff with pizza, with making it.
You don't have to make it either. To love pizza,
I don't think I've ever talking about it. It makes
you hungry for it. I don't think I've ever had
bad pizza. There's no such thing.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Frozen pizza's good pizza.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
There's average, and there's awesome.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
There's and by the way, Stacy Bortino's is awesome. Get
the hundred and twenty pepperoni. It's just amazing.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And is this only in California? Are they?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I think they're only in California?
Speaker 2 (30:50):

Welcome to Murphy Salmon Jody Weekend Replay podcast. Twelve of
our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
What does it mean if your older dog sleeps all
day or just sleeps a lot. This is a question
that I've been asking myself a lot lately, Murphy. You know,
because our Champ, my favorite animal on the planet, he's
a person, he's not even a dog. Is sleeping a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
He's snoring makes him sound like a persona.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
He sounds like an old man sleeping. And he sleeps
a lot now, and he sleeps deeply like nothing wakes him.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
My dog, Gus, he's eleven or twelve, I don't know
what he is, but he started doing that. It's been
over the last year. Correct, whatever's gone on. He flops
and in the snoring starts. It's just he'll get up
from there and move over to here and flop and starts.
It's just constant sleeping.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Here's what I've learned an older dog. It is normal
for them to sleep sixteen to twenty hours a day day.
It is a normal part of the aging process as
they get really old. And I did the math. Champ
is about twelve, possibly thirteen years old. Yeah, Okay, so
we're talking, you know, older, So what can you do well?
Number one, let them sleep, leave them alone. Let them sleep. Also,
(01:17):
provide plenty of comfortable places for them to snooze in
the house and then want to all of theys be
in that one place. You know, maybe they want to
be with you sometimes. Make sure they have a comfortable
place to sleep in snooze and know that it's normal.
Now changes in appetite and changes in you know, if
they seem like they're having pain getting up and down,
then you might want to think, okay, is there something
(01:38):
else here we need to investigate and you need to go.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
To the vet.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
But it sounds to me the way you're describing this
we should always treat them like a grandparent at that time,
the same way you would treat a grandparent as the
way you want to treat an older.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Of course, they number more understanding and love and attention.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
The cliche lipping dogs lie.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Another couple of things. Yes, they could still use some
toll exercise, little short walks, and chances are they still
want it. You know, Champ definitely does we go every
time I put tennis shoes on. He knows he's up
and he's ready to go. He can't go as far anymore,
but he still loves to do it. The other thing
that's sad to me is another reason that an older
(02:17):
dog is sleeping sixteen hours a day or more is
because the oak for whatever reason, the overnight sleep is
more disrupted. That's why he wakes up shaking his ears
or whatever in the middle of the night. Several times.
I know Murphy would complain about him waking you up.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, that head shaking, the little scary.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah. So just know that it's normal. Let them sleep,
give them your extra love and care right now. And
if you have other concerns beyond just the amount of sleep,
then see the vet.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now do they all show start to get hungry for
dinner like at four o'clock? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Eight seven, seven, three one zero four ms Jay to
join the conversation in time.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
How are you, Divina?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I am doing great. But you were asked a question
about long living dogs. Yes, and I had a beautiful
tweeny dotson. Her name was Cheyenne. She was a gift
from from my husband for Valentine's Day and we had
to put her down the year of COVID. She was
(03:24):
eighteen and a half years old.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And she was the sweetest dog in the world. This dog,
what she had as a puppy, and her behavior, her attitude, everything,
it carried all the way through to her old age.
She was never snippy.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
She loved children. She was just the greatest dog in
the world.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, sounds like the perfect dog.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
It broke my heart to lose her.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
No kidding. Eighteen years is a very long time for
a pet or a dog.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, and she was my baby.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
We called her she Yeah, it's oh so sweet. I'm
sorry you lost her, but I'm so glad you had her.
One of my favorite things, one of the favorite things
I've ever heard about dogs, and it's true, is that
we don't deserve dogs.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, thank you, Divina, We appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I love that you had a nickname for your dog, too,
Shy Shy, and we do that at our house. Yeah,
Champion Cakes that's what I call him sometimes.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, Champ. He's got all sorts of little variations on
his name.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
You call your dog gus what he's Gus, He's gustaferr,
He's he's Gus Gus. He's also goose.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And it makes you wonder if they really if they
respond to all of them? Do they really respond to
any favor?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
They know?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
He's just pick why right now?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
No, they know. I think they know they do. They're
so smart they know when you're talking to them. But
thank you for the call, Divina. Based on that earlier,
you know, conversation we were having, it is completely normal
for older dogs to sleep sixteen twenty hours a day
because they just require more sleep as they get older.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, and our oldest dog, Champ, is you really think
he's twelve?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
He's twelve or thirteen.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
He's a large breed dog and so that's that's pretty old.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
He was four when we got him. I don't know
if I don't think I did the math wrong. So
keep it coming, Join us anytime eight seven seven three
one zero four MSJ. In yesterday's After the Show podcast,
we were digging into Chick fil A's waffle fries and
the changes they have made so that they are crispier longer,
(05:34):
and they've added p starch pea starch for that. That's
what they've done to the coding on the outside. This
is the word from Chick fil A. And then they've
also removed like up to eleven allergens, but a few
you know, angry voices on social media thought they were
gross blah blah blah. So what did I do yesterday?
(05:55):
After running errands? Yeah, and I knew I was coming
back up here to work. I picked up a kid
meal you like you buy the kiddie meal with like
it's got five nuggets, and it's and some fries and
a little toy five nuggets, ma'am. And so anyway, I
was back. I was coming back into the building and
I see Sam leaving and I'm like, wait, wait, wait,
(06:16):
wait wait, And I offered you the bag. I'm like,
do you want to at least try one? And so
what did you What did you think?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I tried one waffle fry and it tasted like Chick
fil A waffle fry?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Correct, I you know, come up the elevator. I'm walking
in the building. I walked straight to Murphy's office. He's
not in his office, but what's sitting on his desk
is an empty Chick fil A bag.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You know, here's the thing on that. I thought for
a minute about trying the waffle fries again, but I
didn't get them. Yesterday. I got nuggets and a fruit coat.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Oh the whole January thing, so you don't even know?
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
No, don't.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I threw away the fries. I had one and then
threw them away.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
What you don't throw away fries.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I wasn't really hungry for them. I bought that because
I thought I was gonna run into both of you,
and you weren't here getting me, see producer faith, I
didn't se anybody.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Did you confirm the location as being the location that's
using the new starch whatever peach starch? Okay, inspector, because
the last time that I had them was a week
and a half, a week ago or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Like we're talking about the podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Them like your job.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
They tasted fine, here's what's up.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I did try one before I threw I threw them
out because I wasn't hungry. I bought I bought that
for the taste test, okay, for us for an experiment.
They do taste crispy or on the outside. To me,
they don't taste a lot different, like it.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Tastes like a waffle frying.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But I definitely can tell there's coat. There's a different
sort of coating. Oh really yes, And you know I
would be sensitive that because why your teeth?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You like soft fries?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I love soft it's to crispy for me. Yeah, I
would Sam know me better than you.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
My sample though, was one, so I a whole thing
of them.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, you know, it's still.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
In the garbage.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
New Year, New meals, some meal ideas are favorites and
easy and perfect for January online for you at murphysamon
Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And speaking of New Year, there is a new term
that's popped up for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Oh already.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Actually, I'm kind of surprised it could have been a
word of the year, I think of twenty twenty four
because it's not a new thing. It's called app fatigue.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Oh I got it.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, I guess you could kind of figure it out
from the name, right, Yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
One app in general, are just too many apps in
your life.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's too many apps. It's because it's all because there's
an app for that, you know what I'm saying. It
all started out originally as that. But they say that
the three biggest areas of like total app fatigue where
people are just burned out. One of them is healthcare right.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Having to log in, but I for everything.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I mean Honestly, I like that one for me. I
like having access to all that. But you know, part
of it is like every provider has a different app
or whatever trying to keep track of those, So that's
you know, that's that's one of them. Dating app fatigue.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I wouldn't know about that.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I know, I don't know about those, but you kind
of blew that one off, Sam.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Because of fatigue.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You have fatigue of that a couple of years ago. Sam.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, what do you think is the number one category
for a fatigue?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Authenticating at work?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Logging in it's work period.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
As if someone else would want to log in and
do your work? Yeah, I saw that meme. It's like,
who's trying to Why do I have to authenticate so
many times to do my own work as if somebody else?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Let everybody who cares?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Right, Yeah, securities, because I'm surprised now, that's one that
should probably be there, because like authentication, af fatigues. I mean,
I get it. I know security is a thing, but yeah,
you're right, it's tiring. But the work category of apps
is the most fatiguing for everybody because because of different
companies use everything sometimes, Yeah, you have some companies that
are Microsoft ecosystems. You have some that are Google, you
(09:52):
have some that are pieces and parts of all of them.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You know, you know when when all of this began
in our lives, slowly but surely, when the phone became
a smart device.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
When it was fun, when.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I remember thinking, if we've said these words before when
discussing this, you have to self regulate for your own
mental health. Yes, you can do anything on that device,
but should you know?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Well, I think maybe some businesses should go kind of
like purge and take a look at what you've layered
over the years. You know, it's a fatigue, right because
you've got Monday dot Com and you've got you know, Asana,
and you have all these project apps that a lot
of different businesses use and slack Which one do I
use today? Who much? You know what I'm saying, So
workout fatigue. That's the biggest one, the number one category.
(10:40):
It's not game, Sam huh.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
We read and see every single comment and question there.
In fact, we asked yesterday what do you do in
the month of January to keep the January blaws away?
Because January is January scary. It can be, you know
it just there's a certain feeling to it. You're letting
go of the you know, this big celebratory time and
(11:07):
then here it is this month.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, and lasts a year.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It feels like it does. At the end of January,
it's like, man, that was a long year. Yeah, So
what do you do to keep it away? Because we
have to try you have to try to beat January.
Courtney says, taking it one day at a time, keeping
myself busy a being a wife and a mom. It
goes pretty fast for me. That's a good way. Terry says,
(11:31):
organizing kitchen cabinets, drawers, closets a yearly ritual, but one
that is therapeutic, and then donating much of it to
good wik Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I think there are a lot of people that do that.
I think we mentioned that on our first day back
that you know, I was at Goodwill and there were
a ton of other people that same day.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Where if you if you like to thrift, this is
the month.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
A lot there's a lot of stuff now, it may
it may take a while. I don't know what the
back of a thrift store looks like, but to me,
it's probably a mountain of stuff that they have to
go through and sort and then place in the store.
So to me, January February March is a good time
in Thribs. I don't know, Peggy says, January is my favorite.
(12:15):
A great this is for you, Murphy, A great time
to set goals for the coming year. That's right, and
focus on personal growth and fewer distractions. Ah, fantastic to me.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's a natural the first part of the year. For
one thing, if you use like a planner, you've got
the fresh book that you're working with. All of that
feels fresh and bring.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Using a planner sam Wow, Sherry says, purging some junk
out of my house. If I'm not used it or
not worn it in the last year, why do I
need it? And of course listening to you guys, thank
you sweet, That is sweet.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Why is she purging us or listening?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
No? No, no, no no. Keeps the blaws away by listening
and also does purging another one another. Terry says, keeping
my Christmas decorations up until February. That's keep away, man,
what an idea? What's so funny about that? That's about Uh,
that's personal though, because for me it helps me to
get them down. I've already taken them down.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, it's different, different folks on that one.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Keep it coming. We love having you along. If you're
doing a major home clean out at this time of
the year, you are not alone. Goodwill consignment stores a lot.
This is when they get boxes and boxes and bags
of things because we do a nice clean out, we
do a home edit and it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It's almost like the New Year's purge is bigger than
spring cleaning. Now.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Maybe, yeah, it's a good time to go in a
week or two. I mean, it's a good time to
go if you're looking for a brand new shiny I
don't know, blender or something like that. Oh yeah, I'm sorry.
Not brand new, although you can find sometimes when you're
looking at consignment stores, you'll find in WT new with tags.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
It is a thing, No, I see it. It's new
in WT. If you shop for things online that are
gently used, sometimes they're in WT. Okay, okay, So what
to donate you guys? Ready, toys are appreciated gently used
in good condition.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Not to new ones.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
They could be what if your kid never played with it?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh that's true.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Wow, let it have life with some other, you know,
another child. Legos would be huge to come across. No
kid drifting, gently used clothing, coats, gently used shoes, those
get looked at and bought. Murphy, I'm gonna do a
category for you. What computers and electronics as long as
(14:42):
it's usable.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, not something so old, you know what. Here's the thing,
and I didn't know this until a few years ago.
A lot of not all, but many, like Goodwill, will
recycle electronics too, So even if it's something that's not
usable or out of date, they will facilitate recycling.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
How does that work.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I don't know if they partner with some buddy to
take it.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Okay, okay. Also furniture, Yeah, that's a big one. I
mean it's hard, you know, it's more of a hassle
to get it there than just a box of stuff.
But think about someone who does who can't afford a
new sofa, and your old sofa is new to them. Yeah,
as long as it's comfy.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
How about kitchen items?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Big One Appliances is definitely on the list.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Well, because the reason I asked that is I think
that you know you and I took a box the
other day, Jodie and the box. There's a pan that
the eggs were starting to stick to and we wanted
to try to donate it. But I looked at it. It
didn't it wasn't like clean.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
You throw it out?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
No, no, no, I didn't throw it out. It's just
like I put it up there, and I'm thinking, they're
not going to resell this baby, you know, but they'll
take it.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Was very clean. It was clean. It was it's been
gently used.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Oh it's been more than gently. It's done.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
It's in WT.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
No, not at all.

So I got a four hundred dollars coach bag for
two dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Stop it? What I guess? I got a Ralph Lauren
bag at a thrift shop for like seven dollars, but
I have no idea how much it originally costs.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Yeah. I looked it up by the ceial lemmer in
side of it.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Ooh smart, you're smart.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
And yeah, and so anyways, so that was my that's
my best fun.

Is it in good condition? Like do you use it
on the daily?
Speaker 6 (16:52):
And oh yeah, yeah, like it's in perfect shape.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
You didn't want to turn that around and sell it
on eBay?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Yeah, I guess I could.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
No, you could rocket for four bucks? Is that what
you said? You paid four bucks?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I paid Oh better, it's better you win. You might
just win right there. That's a good one. What color

like rose gold.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, and it's got the c's on it for coach yep. Yeah, yeah,
I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
And you're sure it's legit. It's not one of those
New York Street ones.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Huh the no, no, no, because it's the serial number
in it. So yeah, I looked it up legit.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Thank you, Nikky. We appreciate that. You know, that just
has to be somebody who priced that wrong or didn't
do the correct you know, correct.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
If you find something like that, grab it and don't
just think about it in one bats. That's that is
a rare, a rare thing to happen. Like that hair
tool I bought recently, that hair tool that I use
every morning to put these little ringlets at the bottom
of my hair.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah, but didn't you pay fifteen bucks? And it's only
worth like a hundred twelve hundred dollars coach back.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I'm not saying it's as good as Nikki, but I
paid less than ten for it. I paid tennis and
it was a ninety nine dollars hair tool.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, that's still a deal.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
You're right, I'm telling y'all. So join us anytime. Keep
it coming. We love having you along. Eight seven seven
three one zero four MSJ Back from a little Christmas
in New Year's vacation.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Happy New Year.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Murphy and I stayed home a lot. I hope we're
not sick of each other because here we are at work. Yeah,
and Sam, you did some solo travel again.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah. I went out to Cali, California to visit my
son Jackson, who's living out there, and it was a
fun trip. I wish I had another three or four days,
oh yeah, because it was just too quick.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You can't see everything.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
No, Well, it's it's there are things I wanted to see,
but I put that to the side, of course, because
it's like, whatever Jack wants to do, let's go do something,
because I know he's got stuff he wants to show me.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, well so dad.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
The only thing I got my way on was eating
at a pizza place that I wanted to eat at.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
That was okay.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
They have a pizza called the hundred and twenty Pepperoni.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Oh whoa did you count them?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Jackson started, He's counting the slice. He's counting the pizza.
The jack They're all different sizes.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Quit.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But Christmas Day was great. We all fixed breakfast for
the house. He's got a bunch of roommates. He lives
in the Sober House. We did I did French toast
for everybody, and we had we had all kinds, all
kinds of eggs and bacon and gravy, and you know,
you do.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Most of the cooking for everyone and wow them, or
I just did the French toast part because somebody else
was doing all that.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
After that, we went and visited some of his friends,
and we also had time to kill in the afternoon,
so we drove down the Long Beach to see the
Queen Mary. Yeah, the big boat.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
We were going to take the tour, but it was
like fifty bucks a person. It's like, yeah, and we
didn't have time really because we had to get back.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
But the Queen Mary was Elizabeth spoke.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
The but you're looking at me with the question. I
want to say, yes, but please the whole night.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Since I didn't pay the fifty bucks, I can't answer it.
There were people checking in because it's us. It's a
hotel now, and you know, and and there were nighttime tours.
There were only fifteen bucks. I mean, I didn't have
a day to do this, but I told Jack, I said,
this is the tour to take. Come out here at night,
go back because it's haunted supposedly.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Do you feel better about him now that you've seen
I know, he moved out there and you had not
seen him, but he knew he was in this house.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
October year ago. Yeah, it was my first time seeing
him and it was it was great and it was
real hard to leave. Oh, he's doing so much better
than he has in the past. He's got he seems
to have everything together. He's heavily involved in the church,
and running sound at his church. Yeah. So it was
a great trip, fantastic. I can't wait to go back.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
January is a great time to clean out. And if
you're doing major cleanout else and donating good make sure
that you know it's gently used stuff and get it
out of your life and someone else maybe could really
really use it or have a really awesome find. And
so we were hearing about your thrift store consignment finds
eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
What's your fine, Kimmy.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
I was in my local goodwill. I found this little
teacup that looked so cute. Is going to be for
my mom? So it was ninety nine since I bought it.
I went home, looked up on the internet. It was
over one hundred dollars worth.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Please tell me you sold it?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Oh no, No, I still gave it to my mom's.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
You have a heart of gold. Did you tell her
it was worth a hundred bucks?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yes? I told her and she was like. She also
told me I should have sold should have sold it,
But I did it.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
And little teacup, you're sweet? What did it look like?
Is it like blue and white or like intricate? Yes?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yes, it was blue. And white, and the saucer was
like wavy, the lip of the saucer was wavy. Instead
it's straight, and it was very dainty and tiny, right.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Like five twenty dollars bills to me, Sorry, mom, I know.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
And now all I can think about is going there
and finding nice china now to resell it.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It's funny when you're looking for that though you don't
find anything, you happen into you backwards, fall into a
screaming deal like my polo bag, my Ralph Lauren polo bag,
which I've been using as a tote for two years
because I paid six bucks for it.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Exactly exactly. I can't find anything else now. It just
happens to pop out.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
At me especial little magical things.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Thank you for this, Kimmy, Yeah, no problem, thank you all.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I think that if it were a copy of the Constitution,
I would resell it something like that. But if it's
but if it's like, you know, a hundred bucks difference
or something, to me, it's like the victory of the find.
That's why you want to keep it in nut sell.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It dollars though, yeah, bucks is a lot to me.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
We didn't ask her as if her mother sold it
after she got it.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Well, join us anytime eight seven seven three one zero
four MSJ Moms, you'll appreciate this, Murphy. You probably didn't
even know about this happening on Christmas Eve at our
house when we you know, knew that half the family
was coming to us, which was fine. I was ready.
I had to go into an uber host mode more
(23:37):
so than normal.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You know, working around a little sickness and making sure
that the healthy people stayed in the healthy spot.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I was making the Christmas tree cake dip. Murphy was
overseeing it.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Take Oh, that's right, the little Debbie Christmas cake dip.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Our oldest Taylor, who works at a catering facility and
you know handles, you know, bartending and prep and all
of that for weddings and big occasions. She has learned
how to make some really called drinks and she makes
these pomegranate martini's. But she only knows how to make
them in bulk, like, in massive amounts.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
That sounds like an excuse when I was drinking I
would have used.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
So I can't let it go away.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
So she said, Mom, can I make you know, pomegranate
marchin Christmas Eve and my cousins were like, what, yes, so,
and I'm so glad that you were okay with that,
Murphy since you don't drink and haven't had a drink
in years.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
She made me a virgin version of it was good.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
What's up, though, is that she said, mom, I have
to go to work and get the big thing to
mix them in because you don't have anything big enough.
I'm like, okay, exactly. I thought I have a punch
bowl that she she only got to make it in
big amounts, and it was actually good because we drank
most of it. The problem with my cousins and our guests.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
The container though, said tea.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, this is what's finally.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Careful to make sure abody understood this was alcohol tea.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
What so, this is why moms will appreciate this. You
didn't even know this when she went and picked that
up and brought it in. It's not attractive, you know.
It's it's one of those big aluminum things that says tea,
and it has the spout or whatever. And she knows me.
I'm hosting. I care about how everything looks. I have
beautiful dishes, I want beautiful pictures, you know, I want
(25:23):
things to look at her.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
It's Christmas Eve around there.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
No, anyway, she walked in before she was even two
steps in and I saw it. She said, Mom, I know,
I'm just gonna use this to mix it and we
can stick it in the laundry room. She knows me
so well.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Laundry really was so cute.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
And it's funny because cousin Phil said the same thing.
Why don't we just wrap some tensil around this? We
did not there. We used my pretty pictures and it
was really nice. You notice that we use pretty pictures.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
No, just I enjoyed my mocktail. I wasn't paying attention
to these anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Thank you Taylor for doing that and for knowing your mother.
When you hear the words phone anxiety, I mean to me.
I guess I think in our time and our culture,
the first thing that jumps to my mind would be, oh,
where I can't live without it. I can't be without
it this device.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh yeah, right, exactly, your phone's at home, you're in
the car.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
That's not what phone anxiety actually is the opposite, right,
I guess it all the time. It's a certain group
of people, and it's young people who are very anxious
about making a phone call, making a voice call, speaking
to someone on the phone. Now, what's so funny about that?
(26:37):
For me, it was the greatest day in my life
when I was able to get a phone in my
room when I was a teenager and you know, talk
to my boyfriend all night or whatever I was, or
have private conversations instead of having them in the kitchen
with the long cord. My dad would walk in and
I would try to hide in the pantry, you know,
so he wouldn't hear what I was saying to my friends.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And so back in the days of the home phone.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Right, so fast forward to today. Yes, there are plenty
of younger people who have had these devices in their
hands their whole lives, and it's which are called phones,
but they don't use them that way. Yeah, And so
they're not schooled in the art of having a conversation or.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
It's just not a comfort zone thing. Sure, if you're
used to texting.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Anytime I've told our girls that you call somebody, they're like, wait, would.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
That anxiety be the same for FaceTime? I guess it
would be when you're calling a stranger.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
It is always when you're calling a stranger you know.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I mean so like when I was a kid, I
can remember my phone anxiety was whenever it was a girl,
I wanted to ask out for the first time, I couldn't.
I couldn't dial the phone.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, those are a whole other issue involved with that,
but yes, it was the phone. So I bring it
up because there are some gen zers who can now
take a college course in this. Nottingham College in England
has added phone confidence to its curriculum.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, yeah. Teachers run them through drills that mimic typical
phone scenarios like I say, you need to.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Call when it rains, pick it up and say hello.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
This is a good life skill. It's not funny, it's
a good life skill. What if you have to call
someone about something very important for your pharmacy or something.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh yes, absolutely, if you're intimidated, if it's something that, yeah,
you reach out to somebody that you perceive is bigger
than you are, more sanitative.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
If you have children, it's something to be aware of
to work on.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Good point.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Social media connect for our Instagram and Facebook pages. This
came into you from Sam from Stacy. Stacy says, what's
the name of the pizza place in California where you went.
I'm heading out there next summer and want to try it.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
H Buratinos. You are are Atinos. I follow them on Instagram,
so I know they're on Instagram, and they post these
pictures of these amazing looking pizzas and where Jack's. There's
a bunch of locations and where Jackson, my son lives
out there.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
This is your solo trip to see him.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, there's one that's like two blocks away. So it's like,
we're going there. And he was glad after I took
him there because it was just it was so good.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
What are they known for pizza?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
They have a one hundred and twenty pepperoni pizzas they
claim to fame.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Did they actually for sure put one hundred?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I don't know, because ours looked like it had a lot,
and we watched him making others and they were just
sitting there like it's like dealing cards. It's one twenty one.
Take that one off.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Were they big fat pepperonis?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Regular pepperoni? They have cup ones, but this was regular pepperonis.
They also had special meat ones, like a bore pepperoni.
They just wanted a regular pizza and They have pizzas
called lava pizzas, which is like extra cheese cheese inside. Yeah,
and you can watch to make it there. That's what
I like too. It's like watching it.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Have you ever tried to throw the dough in the air?
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, I'm getting there. Oh, I'm not a thrower yet.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
But you're a taser.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I'm not a talker. I'm gonna put it on both
knuckles and roll it around. I'm not a thrower or
a tassa. I'm just a stretcher right now.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Got it? Little baby stuff with pizza, with making it.
You don't have to make it either. To love pizza,
I don't think I've ever talking about it. It makes
you hungry for it. I don't think I've ever had
bad pizza. There's no such thing.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Frozen pizza's good pizza.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
There's average, and there's awesome.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
There's and by the way, Stacy Bortino's is awesome. Get
the hundred and twenty pepperoni. It's just amazing.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And is this only in California? Are they?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I think they're only in California?
Speaker 2 (30:50):
