food to the hungry people today.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh beauty, that's really sweet. You're very busy for being retired, right.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
No, I don't want to be retired. I already said that.
I can't stand that house.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah wait, wait, wait, you just mean you can't stand
just sitting in it, or you can't stand the house.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
No, can't stand it sitting in it.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Okay, yeah, you're not a sit still person. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well, when Sam was here it was different because we
just pick up and go. We'll go see this, or
go to the grocery and go. It's not any fun
by yourself, and especially when Breadth leaves all day.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
When you say when Sam was here, you mean your
husband Sam' day my husband Sam.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, it's not me. I know when I left going
to the grocery. So what are you doing for your
eighty sixth birthday? Today? After church?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
After the work, I'm going home.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I'm gonna make a chicken pot pie.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I got a recipe from one of the ladies here
and it was delicious, so I'm gonna give it a shot.
I don't know how good it's gonna come, but I'm
gonna try it.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
It's gonna be fine, it'll come up. Yeah, and you
know your way around the kitchen?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Do you know my way around the house toopid? If
you saw the house, you wouldn't think I did because
it's clean so bad.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Because you can't clean.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, I hate it. But that's like.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, So, miss Judy, do you like to have birthday
cake on your birthday?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I know, I don't think I've had a birthday cake
in years.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, yeah, I hear it.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Sam, Yeah, no kidding, hint for the sun over, We're
just going to get you another Starbucks card.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh oh that's fine with me. You know me in
Starbucks my double chocolate frappuccino.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Oh, I need to get you going.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, that's the secret to longevity right there.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Double chocolate frappuccinos. What that sounds like to me?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And a couple of a couple of vitamins I take
and some other fields the games. Okay, So why how
you live so long?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Are you on a break from the daycare? Your job there?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah? For two weeks this week and next week I'm off,
So that's why I'm in here helping him with the food.
All of us is closed down for kiddies right now. Oh,
I see, and we go back onto fourth.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
We'll stay with us, Miss Judy. We want to hear
about your second job at the Superdome and your secret
to a long life next. Oh yeah, absolutely, visiting with
Sam's mom today Miss Judy, who is eighty six years
old today. Wow, you're not working at the daycare this
week because you're on vacation from that. But tell us
(03:04):
about your other job at the Superdome.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Now, go back there on the Force to the super
Dome on the Force for a meeting. We're getting ready
for the Saints. So we got to go through our
meeting every year, and to say they say the same
thing after eighty six years old, you know what they
can to say?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
You could run the meeting. What's one of the things
they say. What are the things they tell you that
you can share?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So just get greet the clients very nicely, help them
out where they want to go to sit, and you know,
just show them where they got to go for food
or where the dressing rooms are. Well, if they don't
know where the dressing rooms are, if you look up
in the sky, they're all over the wall.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
So they're all over the stadium.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So you can see. Your customer service is good, Yeah,
it is.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But sometimes I get fed up with them and I
tell them certain things that they don't listen, and then
they come back to them and I said, didn't I
just you that? And I'm not supposed to talk like that,
but you know how my mouth is, and I just
tell you that, yes, yes, I'll just show you that. Okay,
well that's what I'll do. That's a good idea. And
they pay me for that.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So you think the Saints will have a good season
this year or not?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No? No, no, next question I'm trying to decide.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Do you understand that you, miss Judy, are showing all
of us how to live a vibrant life no matter
what happens in your.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Life, And how old you just don't sit. So that
to one of my girlfriends, my old girlfriend, and she
would listen. Well, she said, I don't want to go
all the time. I said, we'll just pick a few things,
pick one thing and just do it all the time.
What she's dead now, Okay, she's asked you.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
See because she didn't listen to you.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Oh, she didn't listen.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
That's what happens when you sit around.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I'm not sitting.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I agree, lady Judie. I'm gonna you're you're one of
my heroes. I'm gonna be like you. I don't sit either.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Now I'm trucking to eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Good for you, our happy birthday. It's so good to
thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
No, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Thank you, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We love your birthday.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Okay, all right, thank you, love you.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Love you too.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
The number one job skill today in twenty twenty five,
according to thousands of companies. We touched on this the
other day and three things to know today, the number
one job skill is analytical thinking. Can you problem solve?
Can you you know, use data and then make logical decisions.
So we thought, let's let Murphy work his manager magic
(05:45):
and tell like, if you're not an analytical thinker. How
to do that?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
How can you and anybody can become one? And the
thing is problem solving. Problem solving doesn't just have to
be leadership, you know what I mean? It really does
make you a better employee no matter what role you're in.
And so analytical thinking, if you've never done it before,
really posed done to two things. One is asking the
right question to find out what the problem is, because
(06:10):
a lot of times you're not, and you continue asking
questions until you figure out what the source of the
problem is. Sort of like, Okay, you know everyone on
the team can't seem to get these reports to me
on time at the end of the week. What's going on?
And you know, and so, but you start asking questions
about are you having too many meetings? Are you keeping them?
Are they do they have too many things on their plate?
And then the second part of it, when this is
(06:31):
where more people trip and stumble than anything else because
the world moves too fast, is making sure that you
use information like actual data to give an answer if
you know, don't make an assumption. Assumptions are the worst
things in the world. And yeah, exactly, And there's nothing
wrong with thinking or feeling things, but if you're actually
trying to solve a problem, you need to you know. Okay,
(06:52):
So this week we got you know, ten reports back
and we were supposed to have fifteen, and we went
up with four different meetings. And you know, you're laying
out because once you see the facts, you're probably going
to be able to find the answer to the problem
is going to jump out at you. And it just
takes practice. But it's really those two things. Asking the
right question and then making sure that the answers that
you're looking for are on assumptions, you'll probably set yourself
(07:14):
up for success.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Is it possible? Is AI to help you reach that goal?
Become analytical?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
As it sounds like some of the questions you're asking,
saying to ask you would ask that you'd ask AI.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Right exactly, But AI makes mistakes and so I mean
and AI only gives you an answer back as good
as what the question is. So if you don't start
with a good question, even AI is going to give
you a bad answer.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Okay, cool, So, to become more analytical in every part
of your life, not just at work, ask the right questions.
And what was the second part.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Of listening.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Now make you sure it's rooted in facts.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Did you go over the facts, questions and facts? Thank you, Murph.
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Love having you
along there all the ways you can jump in. You
can also email us at Murphysamonjody dot com. We got
this email not going to share the name because it
says please don't use my name. So, hey, I heard
(08:12):
you guys talking about AI the other day and how
it assists with different things. I think last week we
were talking about dating apps. Now have AI chatbots that
help you flirt and without being creepy, which is wonderful,
except that you need to bring it in person, like
you need to be able to also bring that in
person if you get the date. And how it assists
(08:33):
with different things, I agree with your comment on that
you need to put the human component into it. I
was recently told by my boss that when she conducted
interviews for a job, she noticed that all four people
interviewing had the exact same answer for an interview question
that had been written down. Apparently, they had all asked
AI whether it was chat, GPT or whatever that question
(08:57):
for an answer, and several of them when asked that
question in the actual interview didn't answer the same way
as what they had put on paper. They actually couldn't
answer it.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh wow, Okay, So.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
It's important to go back over any AI assistance and
make sure you put it into your own words. The
true at statement I've ever heard about AI because nobody
wants I mean, we want the human thing. If you're
interviewing someone for a position, you want to know what
human you're going to be working with.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
AI is a tool like anything else, and it's very
easy to kind of cross a line on that because
it's it's more human like than Google ever was just
as a basic search, right, Yeah, I mean what it
puts into terms for you, it's pretty easy to just
grab and go. And I think that's just kind of
like a function of the world that we're in right now.
You have to stop yourself and remember this is the tool.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
If everybody that I know, our group of people we
hang with, Murphy is the most interested in accessing AI
and seeing what the tool can do for your life,
I'm the least. And I was telling Sam the other
day that there were times when I'll get prompts like
AI help, and I'm I'm like, no, Yeah, my first,
My first you know reaction is no thanks.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah. Every time I open up word you know in Microsoft,
it's like, okay, how can I and I help? Hey,
I help you, And I was like, I don't want
your help. I want to use word.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Keep it coming. We love having you along. You can
also jump in eight seven seven three one zero four M. S. J.
One day last week when Murphy was having well today,
he was trying to get out of that doctor's appointment
and he had to go to it anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, it didn't work.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I had this say im a little behind the scenes,
is that I was trying to help him out. So
he had a very stacked up, very very busy day,
and after he went to the doctor's appointment, he had
eye drops that were prescribed, so I offered to go
pick them up because I didn't have as stacked up
and after as he did, which was so funny. So
(10:58):
he calls me and says, man, before I even told
you that, you're like, I am hanging by my fingernails.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Say right, that's what I felt like, hanging on for
dear life by my finger That's.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Exactly what I did.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I was.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I just burst out laughing at that because that is
a funny way to say it, and automatically you picture
somebody hanging on. So anyway, that was a fingernail day
for you, and I was happy to pick that up.
But on that day I also grocery shopped and on
the way back home, I also remembered to call that
restaurant you mentioned it earlier. You left your credit card
(11:33):
at a restaurant yes two weeks ago when you took
the girls out to eat. Well, we didn't know for sure.
You haven't seen your credit card since then, and we
kept trying, thinking we need to check there because it
was the last thing charged. I can't remember if you
canceled that or froze that car.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, I just locked the car, locked it. That's f
I figured I would chant it, but you know now,
I'll just go ahead and lock it.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
So I was driving past that and I thought, oh,
I'm going to do him another solid today. I want
to help you out on fingernail day, hanging by your
nails day. And I called them and I said hey,
and they're like hi. I explained to them that my
husband was in there a couple of weeks ago. We
haven't seen the credit cards since. And this is. This
is the reason for me telling the story. I learned something.
(12:14):
Restaurants have stacks of credit cards that people leave behind
because I said your name and they were like. He
was like, you can tell me the name all day, man,
but I need you to tell me the color and
what kind. He said, I've got a stack of cards here,
and so I had to remember that you told me
it was blue in color, and I started saying that,
and anyway it took him. I could hear him going
(12:37):
going through cards. He has a stack of cards behind
the bar.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I gave you the last four digits too. Did you
give him those?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Anyway?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
He was like, oh, yeah, it's here, and I was
going to pick it up, pick it up for you,
but it has to be you rightly, so with an ID,
with an ID, oh wow.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Oh yeah, which is really good. I'm glad for that.
I didn't realize that was that common for restaurants.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It is stack a credit cards behind the bar. Usually.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I want to share with you something you know, since
we've been talking about my moms Judy this week, she's
eighty six, yes, working her way to eighty seven. But
in talking to her on the phone, whenever I talk
with her. She's been using a phrase at the end
of sentences for about a year and a half. Now
I really need to ask her why or what's changed
her out look?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Did she do it with us? Also when we spoke
with her, she probably.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
She may have done it, but I don't know. I
have to go back and listen to it. The phrase
is but that's.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
All right, Oh, that's all right.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
No if the way she says it, though, it's a
it's like like she'll get on the air and start
complaining about something like, you know, my roof's got a
leak in it. The man came out here and it's
going to cost me five hundred dollars and they can't
fit out. But that's all.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Right, she did do it.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's ringing a bell, yeah really, Or she'll talk about
you know whatever it's it's there's something that aggravates her
or something that's making her ad and by the end
of the by the end of the rant, but.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
That's all right, she's self regulating.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, it's like it's amazing to hear it because it's
like she'll go off, your brother is and you know,
I can't fix this for DNA, dada, But that's all right.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So did was there a time where she didn't do that?
Where it was it didn't end?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But that's all right.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Where it clearly wasn't all right.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It sticks out so much that, Yeah, it used to
be you just got the rant, but now it's like
you get the rant, you know something about this person
or the driver of this or whatever, but that's all right.
It's like it's not a concession, but it's like, you know,
what does it matter?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
What is talking it through with you? And she's telling
herself it's all right, It's that's life.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And I think at that age she really has an understanding.
I mean, talk about the big perspective, right, she's got
a bigger perspective than any of us have because she's
eighty six years old and really understands what matters and
what really doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, she probably doesn't realize she's doing it either.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I think it's sweet.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
It is you need to tell her it's all right? Ye?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Do you think I should ask her?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Though?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
If she knows she's doing it, I.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Mean, she's gonna hear it here. Probably don't forget. I
know she's on vacation for the daycare this week, but
she normally.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Listens, Sammy, you could always egger on by saying I
don't know, mom, it doesn't sound like that's all right.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Why do you think that problem with it?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Mom?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
It is not all right.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
If you're a busy working parent, you probably have a
revenge bedtime procrastination situation. You don't even realize it. Yesterday
we touched on this and three things to Know today
that you know, if you go to bed early, it
helps you feel better the next day. And you people
who go to bed early by nine o'clock get better,
exercise more exercise as part of a habit. But when
(15:44):
you put when you push your bedtime just so that
you can have some time to yourself, which is what
revenge bedtime is. Okay, that term, I knew what it was.
I remember doing that. You don't know you have to
do that until you're in the life with kids and
a career and a million things calling your name every day,
and by the time you realize it's time to go
to bed and you haven't done anything just for you.
(16:07):
You haven't watched your favorite episode, or you haven't read
that next chapter, or you didn't take a bath.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, I always thought that was just what they called
me time. But it's apparently been elevated now of revenge
bedome form of self care.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I mean, you know when when the kids, when the
kids were little, little Murphy, Yeah, and there was a
prescription to pick up I remember going, I'll go get it. Yeah,
just so I could be in the car by myself
for ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Look, I'm guilty of doing that. You know today it's
really self inflicted and it's not to be away from YouTube.
Let me make myself perfectly clear.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, please, I don't care.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
It's a long time. It's a form of self care.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But it's a it's it's a result of what happens
when I am working and if I still have more
work to do in the evening and I look up
and it's like eight fifteen and I've been trying to wrap.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Up work YouTube and watching.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It's like, okay, well wait a second, I'm not going
straight to bed because I'm awake and go right back
to work. Heay, Yes, I love that.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I love that it is self care to do something
for yourself every day that you enjoyed. That's just for
selfish reasons.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, do you do it?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Sam?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I think that's audible might fall into that for me
before I go to bed at night. That's the last
thing I'm doing good for like a half hour.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Do it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm not looking at anything, I'm just yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
If you're in that space in life where you're caregiving
for everybody around you, you have to care for yourself too,
or you will burn out even more quickly. But it's
called revenge bedtime procrastination. But the only caveat to it
is that if you keep pushing your bedtime till later,
you're not going to feel as good the next day.
So what starts as self.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Care guilty of that too, ends up being.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Not good for you overall, because sleep, good, sleep makes
everything better. Sam's always up on the New Eats. He's
the food Dude, brought to you by International Animal Rescue.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Coca Cola has made it official. Yeah, we're going to
start using sugar you ask sugar cane and our cokes.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Okay, And they've done it in Mexico forever, right.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yes, they said they're not giving up the uh this
corn syrup.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Oh, they're doing both.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, Okay, you know how President Trump said he talked
to them and they said they're gonna start using cane sugar.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Well, yeah, we're gonna we're gonna come up with a
variety that has cane sugar.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Okay, so you can get out the.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Press release in the fall. We're gonna start selling cane
sugar coke, but we're still gonna be selling the corn
syrup coke.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Good decision by Coca Cola. I like that because not
everybody's gonna want the real sugar.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Well, I'm sure there was some time way I don't know,
one hundred years ago or whatever. It was probably made
with cane sugar before corn syrup is just corn syrup
is cheaper.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Ye may with cocaine too, way back.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
That's the that's the rumor, one reason it was so popular.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, you're not usually gonna see that. In the bio A.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Twenty four fat Over at Pepsi across the Cola Street,
they are going to be releasing Pepsi pre Biotic cola.
Pepsi owns Poppy, which is a prebiotic cola, but they're
going with the Pepsi brand on this one. Pepsi pre
Biotic Cola and Pepsi Cherry Vanilla pre biotic Cola. Okay,
it'll be out early next year.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Any diet versions, No word on that. Just curious.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Now Poppy has a diet version, I think, and that's right.
That's smart of them to do that because Murphy can't
remember what the name of Poppy, but he wants it.
He's always So can you get that cola that's good
for you supposedly you diet And I'm.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Like, oh, I mean pepsi pre biotic cola.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Correct.

Okay, Well that'll be early next year, so look forward. Then,

Yes, those are too hot for you guys though, sorry, definitely.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh and speaking of Halloween, Oreo Puffs they have a
Halloween version that's coming out and it's actually coming out
next month because the marshmallows turned the milk orange.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
This cool.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Oh that sounds good.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Sounds like fine.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
The cheetos will do that too, kind of girls, bake
you food.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Dude, Is this the school year coming up soon where
you let your kids start packing their own lunch?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
My goodness. If you have a situation where you send
us us lunch to school, there will come a time
in your parenthood that you you decide you're done packing lunches.
Your kids are old enough to pack their own. Do
you remember that day for us? Murphy?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Oh my gosh. It was with such relief that I
taught Taylor and Phoebe a long time ago, like, Mom's
not going to pack your lunch anymore. I can't do
this anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
She was trying to contain herself.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
As happened, they were old enough. That's the few you
know and control freaking send the perfect lunch and do
that forever, or you can say, you know, it's time
for you to learn to do this. I gave my
best advice about balance, about having a protein and a carb,
and you know it didn't.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Didn't.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
They wind up eating the school lunch though.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah, as soon as I did that, the school said okay,
we'll do some lunches. They went to a school, an
elementary school that didn't have a cafeteria, so it was
always set runches for years. And it was no peanut campus.
So remember we were doing nut butter and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah, you have to be super careful if you're if
the parents are having to provide the food. You got
to make su everybody's on the same page. Yeah, and
they had this centrally located refrigerator with milk. I remember that,
so you had to go. They had to get their
own milk.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Milk.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Anyway, what's so funny about it is it sounds.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Like a great school to send Sam. It was funny.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Everything makes it worse.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I taught them how to pack their own lunches. I
felt so good about it. I felt like, I'm giving
them something that they can definitely do. I've done my best.
It's one less thing for me to do at night.
I was so excited about because I did that for
years and it went to the disc appointment of packed
their lunch. Felt good about it. The next afternoon I'd
get home and open it and they hadn't touched it.
(22:08):
Half of a pudding cup and it would make me.
It would make.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It run, you know, like wasted string cheese.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
You know what I mean, hot string cheese.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Keep in mind too, I don't know if you've eaten
lunch with kids at school, they don't eat well. I
mean back in the day, I had eaten them with
some of the kids. And lunches for kids in elementary
are short now. Yeah, it's not like you got an
hour and a half for lunch to take your time.
It's like you got twenty minutes. And if you sit
down and you're ten years old and you start running
your mouth, huh oh, I didn't eat Oops.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
You're right, that does happen. When I would check the
lunch boxes after they started fixing it, you know, I
would see Phoebe would just pack pickles. You know, good
luck if you're doing it, it's the right thing to do,
if they're old enough. Why it hits you so hard?
Why it can hit you so hard when you lose
when we all collectively lose an artist, a musician, some
(23:00):
icons I'm entertainer, especially a musician. I feel like it's
especially with musicians, like it has been this week for
the world with Ozzy Osbourne. Have you ever thought about
it why, And it makes perfect sense to me actually, okay, because.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Well you've all you know, and you've kind of poked
fun of me, because it's whenever I do react, I
really do take it hard every time because you do
feel like you know them. And the biggest difference to
me is when it's somebody that you that impacted you
during like your high school years, there was like really
part of your you know, coming out right exactly. Those
(23:40):
are the ones that stick out. Yeahs is one.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
I don't think I've ever had one hit me really
hard yet. Prince was not good. It was not a
good few days for me, a few months. But I
don't ever I've never had one hit me really really
hard yet, even Ozzy.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Not even George Michael.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Oh wait, okay, oh you're playing.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I blocked that out.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I blocked that out.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That did him.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I mean that one, And for all the controversy, Michael Jackson,
that was a shock, you know what I'm saying. And
it's not that you know all those before because I
can remember, like Bob Hope, who was the entertainer who
lived to be I don't remember if he made it
to one hundred or not, but it was he's been
around for so long. You're like, ah, but I wasn't
connected to him the way that my grandparents were.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You know, the reason it hits you so hard is
because it's a deeply personal experience. Your experience with that
artist is like the soundtrack of your life. It gets
you through. It's a part of you, especially if you've
listened to it in your difficult times, through breakups or
it's a time and place for you. And if you've
let an artist in, whether you ever saw them in
(24:45):
concert or not, or shook their hand or any of that,
because most of us have not.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I think it's also the surprise factor, because it's like
if somebody is sick and you know, okay, they're in
their last stages, they're in Okay, it's coming. Whereas like
Michael Jackson, Prince John Lennon, right, why right?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
You know what, even George and Michael. I don't even
think George Michael was out of his forties yet. I
don't remember think he was.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
In his fifties. But anyway, they it's it's because it's
deeply personal. They are a part of you in different ways,
especially music, because music is like therapy and you know
it's a part of your mental health escaping into music.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, I mean and not just music, Malcolm Jamal Warner
this week. Yeah, I mean if you grew up with
the Cosby Show, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
It is a part of yourself. So if you're sad
this week because of Ozzy, you are not alone and
you are normal.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Don't forget Matthew Perry.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Oh that was a big one.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah, correct.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
You know, I don't know whether to call this a
snack pack rip off or why this is about.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
The goldfish again?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Uh no, this isn't about goldfish. I know you had
the goldfish snack pack.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
No, this is to me.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Money when he pretzel goldfish, Murphy doesn't want any of those.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Well they suck all the saliva. It's like all gone
and everything else is great loaded. But that's not what
this is about. It's not about the goldfish. But actually
I guess it would be an example of what I'm
talking about. And this is just as a kid, I
remember this being this way with cereal snack packs. You
always have, you know, a good variety to choose from,
(26:17):
but your favorite thing in there is usually the smallest amount.
It's usually I mean, they don't put enough of that
one in there. And I'll give you an example of
what I'm talking about. So, like a box of Les
Classic Mix. We've come across these before, you get a
big box of fifty of those babies. So the good
news is they've got sixteen things of Cheetos in there,
(26:38):
which is awesome.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You've counted, right, But it says on the box.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
As you go, how man, that's the eight eight fre
doos and only four bags of sour cream and onion.
What's up with that?
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Do you want me to answer this for you? This
is marketing one oh one.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
This is that.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
So here's here's another one. Jody just bought this one
from Costco and I'm excited about this one except for
one part of it. It's skinny pop. So you get
four bags of kettle corn cool, four bags of the regular,
which is great, dot pretzel dots pretzels, which are awesome.
I like the flavor ones. These are the plain ones.
So you got four of each of those, and then
you have the Reese's drizzled popcorn. Yeah, only three of them.
(27:19):
Why why would you do that? Why wouldn't you put
six of those in there? You know? It's the same
thing with like another Skinny Pop. One has you know,
like five six bags of Skinny Pop and then only
three bags of pirates Booty, Calm down, calm down, and
I only have one more to bear with me. This
is the final example of what I'm talking about here, right,
(27:43):
you know, So the variety pack of like Kellogg's Cereal.
You get frosted flakes. That's awesome. I love Apple Jack's.
They only get five of those, and they only have
four cocoa crispies. Again, cocoa crispies that should be like
half the box.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Should twenty corn flakes.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Manager Murphy, it's marketing. They want you to buy the
sour cream in onion. They want you to buy coco crispies.
They know they've got you with the other ones, but
they want you to buy the It's about them making money,
as what is jo.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
So they're just wetting your appetite with these things.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Otherwise they can't move to Frido's. We got a whole
bunch of these. Put them in the snack past.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
You know, I mentioned earlier that Murphy I was reading
last night, trying to go to sleep. I like to
read an actual book before going to sleep, as opposed
to scrolling something.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
On a screen. You said something last night that really
that jumped out of me, And it's true. So it's
just too stressful, and it's true. Scrolling is not. There
is nothing that's relaxing about scrolling.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
They say, don't scroll first thing in the morning either.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
But what are you doing.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
You're laying there in bed, opening your eyes to your day,
and what are you doing. You're letting the world and
all its stress in. But I was reading. I was
picking up Harry Potter again because it's one of my
comfort food books and just reading a chapter. I don't
know if I'm going to read them all again or
just one. I don't know yet. And Murphy kept interrupting
(29:09):
me because he was showing me far side cartoons.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It was a book that I found at my parents' house,
I guess, when we were cleaning things out a couple
of years ago, and I forgot.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
That I had it, and I'm having it.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
And I just grabbed it and just started left. Figure,
if I'm going to look at somebody before I go
to sleep, let it be a laugh.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Well, look, I didn't even know you were laughing at first.
The bed was just shaking, and I'm like, what's going on?
And then you're showing me the cartoons and whatnot. And
number one, I love shout out for anybody doing that,
adding maybe a whole novel is too much for you
to take on, then get something that's funny and read
a little bit every day. But shout out to Murphy
(29:47):
because you're a workaholic and you're normally problem solving twenty
four hours a day. I thought it was just lovely
that you were doing that. I want you to keep
that on your nights, like on the bed side. I
want you to keep that there and keep doing it.
And I can't wait to tell our oldest child, Taylor
this well because you don't even because she worries about
your mental health.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Oh does?
Speaker 4 (30:07):
She and I were on the way home from Superman
the other day. She goes is d at home. I said, yeah,
I think he's working on something, and she goes, man,
he is always working. Why does he always do that?
And I had to go a calm down. We're going
to get him to take us out to eat. Don't worry.
But you know she worries about that for you?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, well, you know, I mean I understand that. It's
I've got to be more balanced about that. When you
get in the zone on something, it's tough to pull
yourself out of the zone.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
That's right, and you're in the zone a lot, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I do want up getting in the zone a lot.
But Farside is funny. It's an acquired taste for people
that don't know it, because like there's the you know,
the one where the Mayo is holding the gun to
the ketchup and the refrigerator and says, when Mayo goes bad, No,
you keep that one to yourself.
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choty Weekend Show podcast, highlighting
some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hey, guys, have a special treat for everybody today. It's
my mom's eighty six birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I got her standing by so we can wish her
a happy birthday. Hey, happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Hey to me?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Yeah, how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I'm more fun. I'm over at the church giving our
food to the hungry people today.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh beauty, that's really sweet. You're very busy for being retired, right.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
No, I don't want to be retired. I already said that.
I can't stand that house.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah wait, wait, wait, you just mean you can't stand
just sitting in it, or you can't stand the house.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
No, can't stand it sitting in it.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Okay, yeah, you're not a sit still person. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well, when Sam was here it was different because we
just pick up and go. We'll go see this, or
go to the grocery and go. It's not any fun
by yourself, and especially when Breadth leaves all day.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
When you say when Sam was here, you mean your
husband Sam' day my husband Sam.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, it's not me. I know when I left going
to the grocery. So what are you doing for your
eighty sixth birthday? Today? After church?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
After the work, I'm going home.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I'm gonna make a chicken pot pie.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I got a recipe from one of the ladies here
and it was delicious, so I'm gonna give it a shot.
I don't know how good it's gonna come, but I'm
gonna try it.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
It's gonna be fine, it'll come up. Yeah, and you
know your way around the kitchen?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Do you know my way around the house toopid? If
you saw the house, you wouldn't think I did because
it's clean so bad.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Because you can't clean.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, I hate it. But that's like.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, So, miss Judy, do you like to have birthday
cake on your birthday?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I know, I don't think I've had a birthday cake
in years.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, yeah, I hear it.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Sam, Yeah, no kidding, hint for the sun over, We're
just going to get you another Starbucks card.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh oh that's fine with me. You know me in
Starbucks my double chocolate frappuccino.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Oh, I need to get you going.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, that's the secret to longevity right there.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Double chocolate frappuccinos. What that sounds like to me?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And a couple of a couple of vitamins I take
and some other fields the games. Okay, So why how
you live so long?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Are you on a break from the daycare? Your job there?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah? For two weeks this week and next week I'm off,
So that's why I'm in here helping him with the food.
All of us is closed down for kiddies right now. Oh,
I see, and we go back onto fourth.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
We'll stay with us, Miss Judy. We want to hear
about your second job at the Superdome and your secret
to a long life next. Oh yeah, absolutely, visiting with
Sam's mom today Miss Judy, who is eighty six years
old today. Wow, you're not working at the daycare this
week because you're on vacation from that. But tell us
(03:04):
about your other job at the Superdome.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Now, go back there on the Force to the super
Dome on the Force for a meeting. We're getting ready
for the Saints. So we got to go through our
meeting every year, and to say they say the same
thing after eighty six years old, you know what they
can to say?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
You could run the meeting. What's one of the things
they say. What are the things they tell you that
you can share?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So just get greet the clients very nicely, help them
out where they want to go to sit, and you know,
just show them where they got to go for food
or where the dressing rooms are. Well, if they don't
know where the dressing rooms are, if you look up
in the sky, they're all over the wall.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
So they're all over the stadium.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So you can see. Your customer service is good, Yeah,
it is.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But sometimes I get fed up with them and I
tell them certain things that they don't listen, and then
they come back to them and I said, didn't I
just you that? And I'm not supposed to talk like that,
but you know how my mouth is, and I just
tell you that, yes, yes, I'll just show you that. Okay,
well that's what I'll do. That's a good idea. And
they pay me for that.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So you think the Saints will have a good season
this year or not?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No? No, no, next question I'm trying to decide.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Do you understand that you, miss Judy, are showing all
of us how to live a vibrant life no matter
what happens in your.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Life, And how old you just don't sit. So that
to one of my girlfriends, my old girlfriend, and she
would listen. Well, she said, I don't want to go
all the time. I said, we'll just pick a few things,
pick one thing and just do it all the time.
What she's dead now, Okay, she's asked you.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
See because she didn't listen to you.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Oh, she didn't listen.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
That's what happens when you sit around.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I'm not sitting.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I agree, lady Judie. I'm gonna you're you're one of
my heroes. I'm gonna be like you. I don't sit either.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Now I'm trucking to eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Good for you, our happy birthday. It's so good to
thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
No, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Thank you, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We love your birthday.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Okay, all right, thank you, love you.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Love you too.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
The number one job skill today in twenty twenty five,
according to thousands of companies. We touched on this the
other day and three things to know today, the number
one job skill is analytical thinking. Can you problem solve?
Can you you know, use data and then make logical decisions.
So we thought, let's let Murphy work his manager magic
(05:45):
and tell like, if you're not an analytical thinker. How
to do that?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
How can you and anybody can become one? And the
thing is problem solving. Problem solving doesn't just have to
be leadership, you know what I mean? It really does
make you a better employee no matter what role you're in.
And so analytical thinking, if you've never done it before,
really posed done to two things. One is asking the
right question to find out what the problem is, because
(06:10):
a lot of times you're not, and you continue asking
questions until you figure out what the source of the
problem is. Sort of like, Okay, you know everyone on
the team can't seem to get these reports to me
on time at the end of the week. What's going on?
And you know, and so, but you start asking questions
about are you having too many meetings? Are you keeping them?
Are they do they have too many things on their plate?
And then the second part of it, when this is
(06:31):
where more people trip and stumble than anything else because
the world moves too fast, is making sure that you
use information like actual data to give an answer if
you know, don't make an assumption. Assumptions are the worst
things in the world. And yeah, exactly, And there's nothing
wrong with thinking or feeling things, but if you're actually
trying to solve a problem, you need to you know. Okay,
(06:52):
So this week we got you know, ten reports back
and we were supposed to have fifteen, and we went
up with four different meetings. And you know, you're laying
out because once you see the facts, you're probably going
to be able to find the answer to the problem
is going to jump out at you. And it just
takes practice. But it's really those two things. Asking the
right question and then making sure that the answers that
you're looking for are on assumptions, you'll probably set yourself
(07:14):
up for success.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Is it possible? Is AI to help you reach that goal?
Become analytical?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
As it sounds like some of the questions you're asking,
saying to ask you would ask that you'd ask AI.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Right exactly, But AI makes mistakes and so I mean
and AI only gives you an answer back as good
as what the question is. So if you don't start
with a good question, even AI is going to give
you a bad answer.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Okay, cool, So, to become more analytical in every part
of your life, not just at work, ask the right questions.
And what was the second part.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Of listening.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Now make you sure it's rooted in facts.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Did you go over the facts, questions and facts? Thank you, Murph.
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Love having you
along there all the ways you can jump in. You
can also email us at Murphysamonjody dot com. We got
this email not going to share the name because it
says please don't use my name. So, hey, I heard
(08:12):
you guys talking about AI the other day and how
it assists with different things. I think last week we
were talking about dating apps. Now have AI chatbots that
help you flirt and without being creepy, which is wonderful,
except that you need to bring it in person, like
you need to be able to also bring that in
person if you get the date. And how it assists
(08:33):
with different things, I agree with your comment on that
you need to put the human component into it. I
was recently told by my boss that when she conducted
interviews for a job, she noticed that all four people
interviewing had the exact same answer for an interview question
that had been written down. Apparently, they had all asked
AI whether it was chat, GPT or whatever that question
(08:57):
for an answer, and several of them when asked that
question in the actual interview didn't answer the same way
as what they had put on paper. They actually couldn't
answer it.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh wow, Okay, So.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
It's important to go back over any AI assistance and
make sure you put it into your own words. The
true at statement I've ever heard about AI because nobody
wants I mean, we want the human thing. If you're
interviewing someone for a position, you want to know what
human you're going to be working with.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
AI is a tool like anything else, and it's very
easy to kind of cross a line on that because
it's it's more human like than Google ever was just
as a basic search, right, Yeah, I mean what it
puts into terms for you, it's pretty easy to just
grab and go. And I think that's just kind of
like a function of the world that we're in right now.
You have to stop yourself and remember this is the tool.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
If everybody that I know, our group of people we
hang with, Murphy is the most interested in accessing AI
and seeing what the tool can do for your life,
I'm the least. And I was telling Sam the other
day that there were times when I'll get prompts like
AI help, and I'm I'm like, no, Yeah, my first,
My first you know reaction is no thanks.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah. Every time I open up word you know in Microsoft,
it's like, okay, how can I and I help? Hey,
I help you, And I was like, I don't want
your help. I want to use word.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Keep it coming. We love having you along. You can
also jump in eight seven seven three one zero four M. S. J.
One day last week when Murphy was having well today,
he was trying to get out of that doctor's appointment
and he had to go to it anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, it didn't work.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I had this say im a little behind the scenes,
is that I was trying to help him out. So
he had a very stacked up, very very busy day,
and after he went to the doctor's appointment, he had
eye drops that were prescribed, so I offered to go
pick them up because I didn't have as stacked up
and after as he did, which was so funny. So
(10:58):
he calls me and says, man, before I even told
you that, you're like, I am hanging by my fingernails.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Say right, that's what I felt like, hanging on for
dear life by my finger That's.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Exactly what I did.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I was.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I just burst out laughing at that because that is
a funny way to say it, and automatically you picture
somebody hanging on. So anyway, that was a fingernail day
for you, and I was happy to pick that up.
But on that day I also grocery shopped and on
the way back home, I also remembered to call that
restaurant you mentioned it earlier. You left your credit card
(11:33):
at a restaurant yes two weeks ago when you took
the girls out to eat. Well, we didn't know for sure.
You haven't seen your credit card since then, and we
kept trying, thinking we need to check there because it
was the last thing charged. I can't remember if you
canceled that or froze that car.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, I just locked the car, locked it. That's f
I figured I would chant it, but you know now,
I'll just go ahead and lock it.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
So I was driving past that and I thought, oh,
I'm going to do him another solid today. I want
to help you out on fingernail day, hanging by your
nails day. And I called them and I said hey,
and they're like hi. I explained to them that my
husband was in there a couple of weeks ago. We
haven't seen the credit cards since. And this is. This
is the reason for me telling the story. I learned something.
(12:14):
Restaurants have stacks of credit cards that people leave behind
because I said your name and they were like. He
was like, you can tell me the name all day, man,
but I need you to tell me the color and
what kind. He said, I've got a stack of cards here,
and so I had to remember that you told me
it was blue in color, and I started saying that,
and anyway it took him. I could hear him going
(12:37):
going through cards. He has a stack of cards behind
the bar.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I gave you the last four digits too. Did you
give him those?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Anyway?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
He was like, oh, yeah, it's here, and I was
going to pick it up, pick it up for you,
but it has to be you rightly, so with an ID,
with an ID, oh wow.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Oh yeah, which is really good. I'm glad for that.
I didn't realize that was that common for restaurants.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It is stack a credit cards behind the bar. Usually.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I want to share with you something you know, since
we've been talking about my moms Judy this week, she's
eighty six, yes, working her way to eighty seven. But
in talking to her on the phone, whenever I talk
with her. She's been using a phrase at the end
of sentences for about a year and a half. Now
I really need to ask her why or what's changed
her out look?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Did she do it with us? Also when we spoke
with her, she probably.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
She may have done it, but I don't know. I
have to go back and listen to it. The phrase
is but that's.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
All right, Oh, that's all right.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
No if the way she says it, though, it's a
it's like like she'll get on the air and start
complaining about something like, you know, my roof's got a
leak in it. The man came out here and it's
going to cost me five hundred dollars and they can't
fit out. But that's all.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Right, she did do it.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's ringing a bell, yeah really, Or she'll talk about
you know whatever it's it's there's something that aggravates her
or something that's making her ad and by the end
of the by the end of the rant, but.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
That's all right, she's self regulating.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, it's like it's amazing to hear it because it's
like she'll go off, your brother is and you know,
I can't fix this for DNA, dada, But that's all right.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So did was there a time where she didn't do that?
Where it was it didn't end?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But that's all right.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Where it clearly wasn't all right.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It sticks out so much that, Yeah, it used to
be you just got the rant, but now it's like
you get the rant, you know something about this person
or the driver of this or whatever, but that's all right.
It's like it's not a concession, but it's like, you know,
what does it matter?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
What is talking it through with you? And she's telling
herself it's all right, It's that's life.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And I think at that age she really has an understanding.
I mean, talk about the big perspective, right, she's got
a bigger perspective than any of us have because she's
eighty six years old and really understands what matters and
what really doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, she probably doesn't realize she's doing it either.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I think it's sweet.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
It is you need to tell her it's all right? Ye?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Do you think I should ask her?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Though?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
If she knows she's doing it, I.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Mean, she's gonna hear it here. Probably don't forget. I
know she's on vacation for the daycare this week, but
she normally.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Listens, Sammy, you could always egger on by saying I
don't know, mom, it doesn't sound like that's all right.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Why do you think that problem with it?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Mom?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
It is not all right.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
If you're a busy working parent, you probably have a
revenge bedtime procrastination situation. You don't even realize it. Yesterday
we touched on this and three things to Know today
that you know, if you go to bed early, it
helps you feel better the next day. And you people
who go to bed early by nine o'clock get better,
exercise more exercise as part of a habit. But when
(15:44):
you put when you push your bedtime just so that
you can have some time to yourself, which is what
revenge bedtime is. Okay, that term, I knew what it was.
I remember doing that. You don't know you have to
do that until you're in the life with kids and
a career and a million things calling your name every day,
and by the time you realize it's time to go
to bed and you haven't done anything just for you.
(16:07):
You haven't watched your favorite episode, or you haven't read
that next chapter, or you didn't take a bath.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, I always thought that was just what they called
me time. But it's apparently been elevated now of revenge
bedome form of self care.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I mean, you know when when the kids, when the
kids were little, little Murphy, Yeah, and there was a
prescription to pick up I remember going, I'll go get it. Yeah,
just so I could be in the car by myself
for ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Look, I'm guilty of doing that. You know today it's
really self inflicted and it's not to be away from YouTube.
Let me make myself perfectly clear.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, please, I don't care.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
It's a long time. It's a form of self care.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But it's a it's it's a result of what happens
when I am working and if I still have more
work to do in the evening and I look up
and it's like eight fifteen and I've been trying to wrap.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Up work YouTube and watching.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It's like, okay, well wait a second, I'm not going
straight to bed because I'm awake and go right back
to work. Heay, Yes, I love that.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I love that it is self care to do something
for yourself every day that you enjoyed. That's just for
selfish reasons.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, do you do it?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Sam?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I think that's audible might fall into that for me
before I go to bed at night. That's the last
thing I'm doing good for like a half hour.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Do it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm not looking at anything, I'm just yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
If you're in that space in life where you're caregiving
for everybody around you, you have to care for yourself too,
or you will burn out even more quickly. But it's
called revenge bedtime procrastination. But the only caveat to it
is that if you keep pushing your bedtime till later,
you're not going to feel as good the next day.
So what starts as self.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Care guilty of that too, ends up being.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Not good for you overall, because sleep, good, sleep makes
everything better. Sam's always up on the New Eats. He's
the food Dude, brought to you by International Animal Rescue.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Coca Cola has made it official. Yeah, we're going to
start using sugar you ask sugar cane and our cokes.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Okay, And they've done it in Mexico forever, right.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yes, they said they're not giving up the uh this
corn syrup.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Oh, they're doing both.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, Okay, you know how President Trump said he talked
to them and they said they're gonna start using cane sugar.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Well, yeah, we're gonna we're gonna come up with a
variety that has cane sugar.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Okay, so you can get out the.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Press release in the fall. We're gonna start selling cane
sugar coke, but we're still gonna be selling the corn
syrup coke.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Good decision by Coca Cola. I like that because not
everybody's gonna want the real sugar.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Well, I'm sure there was some time way I don't know,
one hundred years ago or whatever. It was probably made
with cane sugar before corn syrup is just corn syrup
is cheaper.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Ye may with cocaine too, way back.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
That's the that's the rumor, one reason it was so popular.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, you're not usually gonna see that. In the bio A.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Twenty four fat Over at Pepsi across the Cola Street,
they are going to be releasing Pepsi pre Biotic cola.
Pepsi owns Poppy, which is a prebiotic cola, but they're
going with the Pepsi brand on this one. Pepsi pre
Biotic Cola and Pepsi Cherry Vanilla pre biotic Cola. Okay,
it'll be out early next year.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Any diet versions, No word on that. Just curious.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Now Poppy has a diet version, I think, and that's right.
That's smart of them to do that because Murphy can't
remember what the name of Poppy, but he wants it.
He's always So can you get that cola that's good
for you supposedly you diet And I'm.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Like, oh, I mean pepsi pre biotic cola.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Okay, Well that'll be early next year, so look forward. Then,
Cheeto's partnering up with Wednesday for a Netflix not the
day of the week, the actual show on Netflix. Yeah,
that'll be cut. What is that like two weeks away?
Now it's really close. They are releasing Cheetos flaming Hot
fiery skulls now at Halloween. If you remember, they have
the white cheddar skulls. Yeah, so these will be flaming
(19:49):
hot fiery skulls and instead of chester Cheetah on the bag,
it's going to have thing the hand.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Yes, those are too hot for you guys though, sorry, definitely.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh and speaking of Halloween, Oreo Puffs they have a
Halloween version that's coming out and it's actually coming out
next month because the marshmallows turned the milk orange.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
This cool.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Oh that sounds good.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Sounds like fine.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
The cheetos will do that too, kind of girls, bake
you food.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Dude, Is this the school year coming up soon where
you let your kids start packing their own lunch?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
My goodness. If you have a situation where you send
us us lunch to school, there will come a time
in your parenthood that you you decide you're done packing lunches.
Your kids are old enough to pack their own. Do
you remember that day for us? Murphy?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Oh my gosh. It was with such relief that I
taught Taylor and Phoebe a long time ago, like, Mom's
not going to pack your lunch anymore. I can't do
this anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
She was trying to contain herself.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
As happened, they were old enough. That's the few you
know and control freaking send the perfect lunch and do
that forever, or you can say, you know, it's time
for you to learn to do this. I gave my
best advice about balance, about having a protein and a carb,
and you know it didn't.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Didn't.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
They wind up eating the school lunch though.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah, as soon as I did that, the school said okay,
we'll do some lunches. They went to a school, an
elementary school that didn't have a cafeteria, so it was
always set runches for years. And it was no peanut campus.
So remember we were doing nut butter and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah, you have to be super careful if you're if
the parents are having to provide the food. You got
to make su everybody's on the same page. Yeah, and
they had this centrally located refrigerator with milk. I remember that,
so you had to go. They had to get their
own milk.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Milk.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Anyway, what's so funny about it is it sounds.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Like a great school to send Sam. It was funny.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Everything makes it worse.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I taught them how to pack their own lunches. I
felt so good about it. I felt like, I'm giving
them something that they can definitely do. I've done my best.
It's one less thing for me to do at night.
I was so excited about because I did that for
years and it went to the disc appointment of packed
their lunch. Felt good about it. The next afternoon I'd
get home and open it and they hadn't touched it.
(22:08):
Half of a pudding cup and it would make me.
It would make.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It run, you know, like wasted string cheese.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
You know what I mean, hot string cheese.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Keep in mind too, I don't know if you've eaten
lunch with kids at school, they don't eat well. I
mean back in the day, I had eaten them with
some of the kids. And lunches for kids in elementary
are short now. Yeah, it's not like you got an
hour and a half for lunch to take your time.
It's like you got twenty minutes. And if you sit
down and you're ten years old and you start running
your mouth, huh oh, I didn't eat Oops.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
You're right, that does happen. When I would check the
lunch boxes after they started fixing it, you know, I
would see Phoebe would just pack pickles. You know, good
luck if you're doing it, it's the right thing to do,
if they're old enough. Why it hits you so hard?
Why it can hit you so hard when you lose
when we all collectively lose an artist, a musician, some
(23:00):
icons I'm entertainer, especially a musician. I feel like it's
especially with musicians, like it has been this week for
the world with Ozzy Osbourne. Have you ever thought about
it why, And it makes perfect sense to me actually, okay, because.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Well you've all you know, and you've kind of poked
fun of me, because it's whenever I do react, I
really do take it hard every time because you do
feel like you know them. And the biggest difference to
me is when it's somebody that you that impacted you
during like your high school years, there was like really
part of your you know, coming out right exactly. Those
(23:40):
are the ones that stick out. Yeahs is one.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
I don't think I've ever had one hit me really
hard yet. Prince was not good. It was not a
good few days for me, a few months. But I
don't ever I've never had one hit me really really
hard yet, even Ozzy.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Not even George Michael.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Oh wait, okay, oh you're playing.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I blocked that out.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I blocked that out.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That did him.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I mean that one, And for all the controversy, Michael Jackson,
that was a shock, you know what I'm saying. And
it's not that you know all those before because I
can remember, like Bob Hope, who was the entertainer who
lived to be I don't remember if he made it
to one hundred or not, but it was he's been
around for so long. You're like, ah, but I wasn't
connected to him the way that my grandparents were.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You know, the reason it hits you so hard is
because it's a deeply personal experience. Your experience with that
artist is like the soundtrack of your life. It gets
you through. It's a part of you, especially if you've
listened to it in your difficult times, through breakups or
it's a time and place for you. And if you've
let an artist in, whether you ever saw them in
(24:45):
concert or not, or shook their hand or any of that,
because most of us have not.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I think it's also the surprise factor, because it's like
if somebody is sick and you know, okay, they're in
their last stages, they're in Okay, it's coming. Whereas like
Michael Jackson, Prince John Lennon, right, why right?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
You know what, even George and Michael. I don't even
think George Michael was out of his forties yet. I
don't remember think he was.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
In his fifties. But anyway, they it's it's because it's
deeply personal. They are a part of you in different ways,
especially music, because music is like therapy and you know
it's a part of your mental health escaping into music.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, I mean and not just music, Malcolm Jamal Warner
this week. Yeah, I mean if you grew up with
the Cosby Show, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
It is a part of yourself. So if you're sad
this week because of Ozzy, you are not alone and
you are normal.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Don't forget Matthew Perry.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Oh that was a big one.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah, correct.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
You know, I don't know whether to call this a
snack pack rip off or why this is about.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
The goldfish again?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Uh no, this isn't about goldfish. I know you had
the goldfish snack pack.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
No, this is to me.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Money when he pretzel goldfish, Murphy doesn't want any of those.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Well they suck all the saliva. It's like all gone
and everything else is great loaded. But that's not what
this is about. It's not about the goldfish. But actually
I guess it would be an example of what I'm
talking about. And this is just as a kid, I
remember this being this way with cereal snack packs. You
always have, you know, a good variety to choose from,
(26:17):
but your favorite thing in there is usually the smallest amount.
It's usually I mean, they don't put enough of that
one in there. And I'll give you an example of
what I'm talking about. So, like a box of Les
Classic Mix. We've come across these before, you get a
big box of fifty of those babies. So the good
news is they've got sixteen things of Cheetos in there,
(26:38):
which is awesome.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You've counted, right, But it says on the box.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
As you go, how man, that's the eight eight fre
doos and only four bags of sour cream and onion.
What's up with that?
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Do you want me to answer this for you? This
is marketing one oh one.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
This is that.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
So here's here's another one. Jody just bought this one
from Costco and I'm excited about this one except for
one part of it. It's skinny pop. So you get
four bags of kettle corn cool, four bags of the regular,
which is great, dot pretzel dots pretzels, which are awesome.
I like the flavor ones. These are the plain ones.
So you got four of each of those, and then
you have the Reese's drizzled popcorn. Yeah, only three of them.
(27:19):
Why why would you do that? Why wouldn't you put
six of those in there? You know? It's the same
thing with like another Skinny Pop. One has you know,
like five six bags of Skinny Pop and then only
three bags of pirates Booty, Calm down, calm down, and
I only have one more to bear with me. This
is the final example of what I'm talking about here, right,
(27:43):
you know, So the variety pack of like Kellogg's Cereal.
You get frosted flakes. That's awesome. I love Apple Jack's.
They only get five of those, and they only have
four cocoa crispies. Again, cocoa crispies that should be like
half the box.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Should twenty corn flakes.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Manager Murphy, it's marketing. They want you to buy the
sour cream in onion. They want you to buy coco crispies.
They know they've got you with the other ones, but
they want you to buy the It's about them making money,
as what is jo.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
So they're just wetting your appetite with these things.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Otherwise they can't move to Frido's. We got a whole
bunch of these. Put them in the snack past.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
You know, I mentioned earlier that Murphy I was reading
last night, trying to go to sleep. I like to
read an actual book before going to sleep, as opposed
to scrolling something.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
On a screen. You said something last night that really
that jumped out of me, And it's true. So it's
just too stressful, and it's true. Scrolling is not. There
is nothing that's relaxing about scrolling.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
They say, don't scroll first thing in the morning either.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
But what are you doing.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
You're laying there in bed, opening your eyes to your day,
and what are you doing. You're letting the world and
all its stress in. But I was reading. I was
picking up Harry Potter again because it's one of my
comfort food books and just reading a chapter. I don't
know if I'm going to read them all again or
just one. I don't know yet. And Murphy kept interrupting
(29:09):
me because he was showing me far side cartoons.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It was a book that I found at my parents' house,
I guess, when we were cleaning things out a couple
of years ago, and I forgot.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
That I had it, and I'm having it.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
And I just grabbed it and just started left. Figure,
if I'm going to look at somebody before I go
to sleep, let it be a laugh.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Well, look, I didn't even know you were laughing at first.
The bed was just shaking, and I'm like, what's going on?
And then you're showing me the cartoons and whatnot. And
number one, I love shout out for anybody doing that,
adding maybe a whole novel is too much for you
to take on, then get something that's funny and read
a little bit every day. But shout out to Murphy
(29:47):
because you're a workaholic and you're normally problem solving twenty
four hours a day. I thought it was just lovely
that you were doing that. I want you to keep
that on your nights, like on the bed side. I
want you to keep that there and keep doing it.
And I can't wait to tell our oldest child, Taylor
this well because you don't even because she worries about
your mental health.
