Speaker 1 (00:02):
Got something I want to show you guys, since we've
been talking about Christmas traditions over the past couple of weeks. Yeah,
when I was getting all the decorations out the attic,
I stumbled upon this, literally, because it's something that's been
in my attic for years and thous.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You cleaned out, Sam, I thought you didn't keep old stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
No, this one thing I did of my dad's. There's
a few things I've kept up his this one. I
would see it every year at my parents' house when
we would clean, you know, get all the stuff out
the attic for Christmas, and I'd always ask about it
and it's, oh, that's your dad's from when he was
a little kid. And it always terrified me because it's
the scariest looking Santa Claus you've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Oh no, I don't like scary.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It's a doll. It's about two feet tall, and I'm
about to show it to you. I'm just warning you
ahead of time. It's kind of falling apart because it's
from back in his childhood. Nobody wants to see this.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It is scary. Everybody when they would come over.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Are you ready put your coffee down? Here's Santa.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oh well, first of all, his pants are pull his
pants up, yeah right, exactly like a doll.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
His pants never have been up. I see, there's a
little love, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
So this is actually a doll that looks like a
baby doll. You can see it on our Facebook page.
But the doll looks like a baby doll with a
sand and head on it.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Santa looks like he's been drinking.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Well, first of all, I can understand where they were
trying to go with Sama. His cheeks are very rosy,
and they tried to make him jolly, but he looks
a little He definitely is retro.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, he's old and he's falling apart. So he's got
strings that hold his wow neck and hands and all that.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So relic.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
But when your dad was a kid, that would have
been in the nineteen forties.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, nineteen forties, and this thing, whenever we would see
it in the attic or he'd bring it down, it
just scared me. I'm surprised it hasn't scared you. No,
just I don't like the way he looks.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
You know what, That's funny how everybody has a different impression.
What that reminds me of or some of the old
school plastic things that used to be in the front yard.
I love you know. My parents had the candle tubes
that had the night light at the bottom of it.
It was the tube and had that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, I love that. I legitimately love that. Those are
my favorites.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I think retro. You can buy those on epay now. Actually,
I think there's some remanufacturers that make those new now.
But so you know it's Sam. I guess if you
could button his coat and close his coat, he wouldn't
be so scared.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It just looks like Santa's had a rough night, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
This thing just well, yeah, because the belly being wide open,
it looks like he's been drinking.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Almost as soon as I'm done showing it to you here,
it's going back home and backing the attic because I
just do not like the looks of this thing.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
But you can't get rid of him, can you can't.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
He's not that bad. I'm sorry, he's not that scary.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The funny thing is, I've never shown it to my kids.
Maybe I should do that this year and see what
the take is.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I don't let him look at it on the Facebook
page first, all right, if you really want to see
it in person.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Oh, Judy's gift today? You guys ready for teenager gift
ideas today?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Boy or girl?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
All both. I just want to throw out more than
one idea here because a lot of times moms and
dads will tell you this as a kid gets older,
you know, and then the family will ask you, Hey,
what do you want me to get Taylor this year?
What should I get Maddie this year? You're gonna get
those questions, and you you know you need those ideas, right.
(03:18):
Gift cards are great for teenagers, like wherever they love
to go. Teenagers love designer coffee, they love fast food.
But pair it with something fun. You said something last hour, Sam,
when we were doing the mail bag about Jackson getting
a gaming box last year.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah. It was one of those gift bags, you know,
those regular gift bags. And Sam, you put a bunch
of stuff in there that gamers use, like if you're
playing games for hours. Yeah, you got a mountain dew,
you got a bag of chips, a PlayStation, a preapproved checklist. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So that's a really good idea. So let's add that
the gaming gift box. You got to know what the
teenagers into One of the ideas I came up with
is the big movie night gift box or the binge
gift box, you know, and it can be a bag
or a box, but all their favorite snacks, popcorn, hot chocolates.
It's you know, Christmas time. You don't have to throw
(04:12):
like the old way would be to throw in DVDs.
Kids aren't doing that, you know, they're watching digit mostly.
But the big snack box have you got, you know,
in the past. Last year, I think we received some
sort of big gift basket full of all kinds of snacks.
You guys, remember that exciting to go through. You create
(04:32):
that for a t.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
One in a box of half eaten things, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
The teenagers never received something like that. They might really
dig that, you know. For instance, I'm gonna throw this
out our cousin Jacob. He loves cheddar jalapeno cheetos and
rightly so, they're ridiculous. If I gave him a gift
card tomorrow, I would give it with a bag of
those you know, you got to add something something fun
(04:57):
attrack that. Yeah, So go get these ideas and you
can send us yours to remember they love merch too.
They have stranger things.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
They love their favorite store.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Murphy, Sam and Jody dot Com.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Conging out the twelve of Christmas today. It's all sorts
of fun we have for you, Murphy, Salmon, Jody dot
Com for the holiday season. Uh, some advice for you
in the twenty four hour voicemail. So let's check that now, Murphy.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Sam and Judy twenty four hour Voicemail, Evers and Jodey.
He's sick. Unfortunately. I just wanted to believe a little
note to say that whenever I started to lose my voice,
I would have a little bit of honey, a little
bit of vinegar and Jack Daniels.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Wait, wait, thanks for the voice.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You think that's funny. No, I know I grew up
in the country. I know.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Like we'll tell it.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Honey and lemon and Jack Daniels saying, I know people
have taken that, but yeah, like a toddy or whatever.
But the vinegar, Wow, they're supposed to be good.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
For you and have healing properties and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Tell you this can't do the Jack Daniels anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I don't know if you knew this, Murphy, but I
had coughing problems when I was a little girl, so
much so my dad. You know, the little neighborhood I
grew up in, it was like the little cul de sac.
It was a gravel and when people would drive fast,
the dust would kick up, and my coughing would kick up.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I how have we come this far? And I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I don't know. We didn't talk about that, but everything,
everything made me cough. And I was a country girl.
I was outside running around barefoot. But my dad like
petitioned and did a lot of work to get our
neighborhood the blacktop or cemented, so that I could go
outside and play more. And he did that. But also
that's how I learned that I was allergic to codeine,
(06:43):
because we tried every cough medicine, every cough medicine, and
when I would take one with codine, I would hallucinate.
And he came home one night from working one of
those late shifts shift work that he did, and I
was running through the house in my nightgown, hysterical, just
like now, and I almost ran into this huge wood
(07:04):
burning stove thing. He had to stand in front of
it and block me and shake me awake things like that.
So now I'm still allergic to coding to this day.
Don't give it to you.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I remember you saying that, I mean, it is narcotic.
You realized it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Maybe I wasn't allergic to it, Maybe I just can't
deal with it. But I remember once he did resort
to that, and my Dady gave me something that was honey,
lemon and certainly something alcohol, and boy did it work
because of the alcohol.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But only once you didn't have any coding. But give
her some, Jack.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We love hearing from you. Give us a call this morning.
Eight seven seven three one zero four. MSJ. I love
hearing from you about your specific Christmas traditions that you
do with your family. Eight seven seven three one zero
four ms J. What's up, Barbara.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I wanted to tell you about my tradition. So what
I do is during the holidays and I we get
together and we actually go shopping. And it's a little
thing that I started when they were little. And what
we do is we're when we're shopping, we're walking around
and my kids will say, Mom, that's the one. And
what we do is we put aside one hundred dollars
(08:15):
and we go to a family that we see that
they need and we give them that one hundred dollars
for Christmas. So that's kind of like a little tradition
I started when they were young, and now one's twenty
one and one sixteen, and every Christmas they're like, Mom,
are we going shopping? Are we going shopping? Because that's
what they look forward to from when we were little.
When they were little, they would say, Mom, how do
(08:36):
you know? And I say, I would tell them. I said,
sometimes it's just you know, you know, you get that feeling,
and I said, you'll figure it out. And so as
they've grown up, they've actually said, Mom, I understand. They
just look at them and they say, okay, I understand, Mom.
They look like they need something, and we could be
in a line somewhere and they'll go, Mom, let's pay
(08:58):
for the person behind us. That's what I want to
do for.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
One hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
It's really unique because I like the idea of them
learning that it's it's just really nice to give. Yes,
it's amazing because the people are just the latest. They're
like really.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And they're like yeah, so sweet, And you know they
will as they grow up and have families. They'll do
that too. That's right, totally set that up, Barbara.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Absolutely, And I'm just it just gives it warms my heart.
Every year when they're like, Mom, let's go shopping, I'm.

Speaker 7 (10:31):
Well, the Christmas tradition that I have, it's actually with
my fiance's family. What we do every year is we
get all of his family together, probably a week or
so before Christmas, and we more or less camp out
in their living room and we have a marathon of
the old traditional Christmas cartoon like Rudolph and Santa Claus
(10:53):
coming to Town, all of the old classic creamation because
his dad has an old v VCR that still works
and we have them all on VHS still.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Oh my shoot, really kick at old school.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
It's really funny because his brother, he's fourteen now, he
always likes to grope and moan about, you know, doing
anything with the family, but he will come and he
will sit right there in front of the TV and
watch it with us. It's really huge.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And when you watch them like on well, I was
about to say DVD, but you're you're like kicking it VHS,
you can tell where the commercials used to be. Yeah,
you know, like.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Oh yeah, there's like a stop right there in the middle.
But it's always we don't mind it. So we've been
doing it for years and.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
For Rudolph, it's something about when he goes off in
his own and you're so scared for him, and he's
on that little ice thing.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
Just sitting there and you feel it.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
We always his grandmother comes over with us too, So
it's a big big to do every year.

five grandchildren of course, all the spouses and everything that
come with it. And every year on Christmas Eve, we
do a big party and we play bingo and we
do you know, the socks and just all the different
(12:49):
things in all of the kids in the night at
my house. Love it still. But I've added something this
year that is going to be so much fun. I
ordered nineteen Nerf guns, yes, all the same, so that
they all take the same ammo, and we are going
to have a huge Nerf war on Christmas Eve. And
(13:14):
I wait because somebody's bringing a go pro because they
want to record it. So that's going to be our
new tradition that we're going to do every year, in

things that we do.

stay for the night, and then it's so much fun.

and nobody gets up until we ring the bells and
then they all, even though my kids are all grown,
they come flying down the stairs like they're just like
(13:52):
little children. It's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (13:53):

used to do the same thing. We would still stay
at her house for Christmas Eve for the longest time. Yeah,

Yeah, I'm fascinated by giant Jinga. I just am.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You know, the regular giant James.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Well, I've seen him in like bars and stuff, but
we've never had one.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Oh wait, wait wait, So it's like the big version
of the Jinga jinga name.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
We had a regular jinga game last year and the
kids love it and it's regular size, and of course
what happened at our house. One of them hit the floor,
a dog chewed it. Game ruined because you can't get
it back in there the right same money.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yeah, you're doom.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Minus one piece.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Why don't you just take off a lever a level?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I don't do that, but yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
So giant Jinga is I mean, it's big.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You're going to say this again.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
You can't hurt yourself with it, right, I mean the
logs are so heavy, not.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Bigger than you, Murphy, it's like three feet four feet
tall or something like that, but it's bigger. So it's
more expensive gift. It's gonna cost you a little more,
but it's really fun. It's really fun and everybody will play.
You have people over and you break out Giant Jinga,
everybody leaves, everybody is gonna be one to play. So
I just think that's a fun family game.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Readers really do easy enough to store Giant Jinga.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
You gotta room.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
It takes two closets.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Maybe you leave it out all the time. Maybe you
leave it out all the time. Him with our dogs,
Man Champ would lift his leg on China.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yes, maybe you're a game.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I'm just fast.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
So Jody's really selling of giants. I forget the idea.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Of the specific ideas Giant Jinga. The overall is family games.
And you don't know what to give a family Give
a fun game that everybody all ages can play. There
are tons we will link some not just Giant Jinga

your bag today?
Speaker 12 (22:56):
Well, we're going to get to the instant pot and
why it's such a hot item, especially for this time
a year, But first I want to read a message
from Susan might clear up a little bit confusion for
any of our listeners. Okay, she says, whenever I would
see picks of you guys, I always thought that the taller,
light haired man was Murphy. I just went to your
video on your YouTube channel of Sam's dating mistake, and
(23:16):
it was surprised to know I've been wrong the whole time.
Am I the only one that thinks this?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Sam and I've been mixed up for years?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, but for different reasons.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I've been called Sam more than you realize. I'm called
Murphy a lot too, you and your wife, Yah, buddy.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, So to clarify, Sam is the tall looking, light
headed guy who's single and funny, and Murphy is the sweet, cozy, funny,
good looking warm heart.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well that's nice of you to say that. You know,
people kind of pick on me for the beard a
mustache sometimes, Jody, Oh, please.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Don't lose it. Who cares?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
What people say, by the way, speaking of beer, do
you like mine? It just took a whole month.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I do that.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
November's over, you can. I'll work on it though. By
January you might really have time to talk about it.
Thank you, Susan.
Speaker 12 (24:04):
Okay, and Heather says, listening to the podcast and heard
you guys talking about the instant pot. Yeah, I received
one for my birthday the beginning of this month and
last month, and it's a kitchen game changer. I've cooked
in it daily for the last two weeks. Absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yes, I was very intimidated at first, Heather, completely, like
that thing was sitting on my counter haunting me. My
cousins kept sending me these easy recipes and it was
recommended that I start small with a soup, and I
did that last this past weekend, and so we did
a creamy chicken ench a loata soup that was delicious
and it's easy. So it is a game changer. But
(24:41):
the reason I was hesitant at first because I don't
I don't want to learn a bunch of new tricks,
you know, I don't want to learn how to do
new things. But that's what it is, and it's super simple.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And fast, better than a crockpot.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Oh yes, Peggy says she can make a roast in
two hours using this. Yeah, you can use it as
a crock you can use it as a slow CoA certiqua.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Do you know what you do is kind of on
your blog there, Jody go through some of the things
that you the ins and outs that we've seen. I've
never seen anything that had like thirty nine thousand reviews
on Amazon. It's crazy.

DNA tests, don't they have like a couple of companies,
Ancestry DNA and twenty three and me.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
It's one of the hottest gifts of this season.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Somebody, I mean, I know why Sam would need DNA test.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Oh, which, by the way, I have done.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You had to do that one.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Hey, hey, hey, okay, now we're getting legal. But yes,
it's one of the like hip things. You swab yourself,
you send off the kit and they oh for genealogy
purpose so you can find out you know, who I
am and what I made.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I Do you understand the fascination?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Do you want to do it?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Murphy?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
You want no? I mean now that you say that
it took them and to click, because I had some
of you know who told me. Yeah, he found out
that he goes back to an English heritage and somebody
was somewhere in Britain or something like that.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, and you were really paying attention.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
But I thought he was just doing the classic I
thought he was doing the classic research thing through the
gene website. This is actually you send.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Them, you send them your yeah, and it tells you
what percentage you are of each different kind of nationality.
It's also good for a genetic disease research, you know, Okay,
if you want to worry about that.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Wow, I didn't even think of course Black.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Black Thursday or Black Thursday, Black Friday, different date altogether.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
They were on sale.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
They were one of the top five things on Were
they really there was three Amazon add ons including and
also the Inso and the Instant Pot and this were
the top five.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Seriously saw those?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
And so when they're not on sale? Are they expensive? Yes?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yes, it was about half price on Black Friday.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, they are a couple hundred bucks. You swam yourself,
you send it off, they run it through the computer.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Allegedly, Yes, they give them the Okay, I've been the thing.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yeah, you know, I guess that's one of those out
I'll have to find it on sale. Otherwise I'll just
let my past remain a mystery.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Has our dad dug into all that Murphy before?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I mean, personally it's weird. I mean, there was a
family member who did old school before it was all online,
and she had passed down to us a big chart
that goes back to Catherine of Aragon in England. But
that goes up through my mother's it's actually, I'm sorry,
it goes up through my grandmother's side.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
See that's genealogy. This is just actually it's not telling
you people. It's just telling you your country of origin
or your type of people.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Okay, curious to know.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I'd love to have that one for Christmas if the
kids want to all chime in. But again, yeah, it's
really expensive.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
He's jelly. His belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly.
Thank you, Murphy. Yeah, not Sam Santa Claus. Oh, yes,
me too.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
How often do you go to the to the doctor
at the North Pole?
Speaker 13 (28:04):
Well, I I have an elf doctor, which is very
convenient for a guy like me because there's all sorts
of you know, rolls and crevices to check.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 13 (28:17):
It's basically what my medical team is working on me.
It looks like a bunch of construction workers on the
toll My gosh.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
You have you have elf nurses too, Yes, we do.
Candy stripers again, very nice.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Going to move you over to the nice list.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I'm working it.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
That's all it takes. Okay, Look, Santa, we promised the
kids we would answer some email, and you have a
lot of email. Uh that's coming to Murphy sam and
at Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I love good.
Speaker 13 (28:47):
Look anyway a child communicates with me, I'm going to
get that communication. Write me a life, make a wish
out loud, keep it to yourself, put it in an email.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Santa will know we have one from and we have
children and adults writing in. This is from Cheyenne. Dear Santa,
I may be eighteen and autistic, but I still believe
in you. I know that the Christmas season isn't about
getting presents. It's about giving and spending time with people
that we hold Dear, I hope that you have been
watching me because I've been trying my best to be good.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yes, I have what.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I've been wanting for Christmas this year, some more generation
for my little ponies. There are some specific ones I
need to add. Sunny, rays, plump, sweet, and flitter heart.
All right, isn't that sweet?
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
You know what.
Speaker 13 (29:36):
Cheyenne brings up A good point. Santa loves all kinds
of children, and there are all kinds of special kids
out there who have different conditions that make them feel
on the outside of things, or that people don't always understand.
But sometimes the most incredibly deep thinkers, the kindest people
(29:59):
in the world are the ones who don't say much,
oh don't do much. And I know that about you.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Cheyenne so sweet. She ends this with anyway, I hope
that you and missus Claws and the reindeer are doing
okay at the North Pole and I can't wait to
see you on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Well, same here.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Thank you for the email. Send anything to sants at
Murphy samand Jody dot com. We love you too, Santa.
So today's gift today, ideas will idea will be what
to give special needs children, and that's going to be
coming up. But first we want to introduce you to
my beautiful cousin Candace. Hey, baby, Hi, good morning. How
(30:37):
you doing.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
You know I should tell you that Candace was the
first family member I met of Jody's when she and
I first started dating.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yeah, and that's because camp. You had to pass the
canvas test.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
That's right. And once I was passed the canvas test,
I was in.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
It says a lot. You met Candace before you met
my grandmother, before you met my mom. Yeah, big deal.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
We're all writing in a convertible together.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yes, we were. And we went to Sonic. Remember we
got Okay, I.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Don't ever forget a Sonic.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Notte Okay, Okay, So seriously, Candice, you have these two
awesome children, James, who is such a cool kid, and
then Hope, who is a beautiful girl. She's a special
needs child, and man, watching you parent her is exhausting.
She's beautiful and wonderful, but she's like a toddler times three.
You cannot keep your eyes off of her. And right,
(31:26):
and so over the years, you know, when Christmas time
rolls around. I have felt pretty nervous when it's time
to give her something because I know that her development
is delayed, and I don't want I know it's silly
to say, but I didn't want to insult you and
hope by giving you something so much younger than what
she actually is. But that's actually that's not really at
all right. Okay, Well, so I thought of you, and
(31:49):
not only do you have this experience because you are
the mom of a special needs child, but you got
to give me your title again, cousin, because I don't
remember what it is, exactly what your title is at
your job.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
But hit me, I'm a behavior analyst, that's the short.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
She thought you were a transponsor. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yeah, okay, but you work with special needs children all
the time and children with autism and all this, so
this is your specialty. So I guess we want to
hear from you on what our good gift ideas for
special needs children.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
And you're exactly right. It can be really tricky, and
even for me as a parents, sometimes people will ask, well,
what does polks want? And I don't. I'm like, well,
your guest is as good as mine. I don't know,
and it's difficult, and you're right the older that she gets.
I work for a young man as twenty seven now,
and it's hard to find gifts for him. He doesn't
have a lot of leisure interests, but he really likes
(32:46):
like light up of music toys that are more like
for toddlers and difficult between that with's age appropriate and
what is something that they will truly enjoy?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Right, Well, I'm glad that you're here to help us
with that. So we'll have the list of those coming
up next. You know, this is I love that we're
doing doing this as part of our gift today.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, because and special needs children, they're all different. So
some really good ideas from Candace from you coming up next.
Thanks Christmas gift ideas for kids from one to ninety two.
It's a gift today at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com.
So we are visiting with my cousin Candace, who is
a behavior analyst and for children, and she has a
(33:26):
special needs child, Miss Hope, who's so beautiful. Hey Candace, Hey,
thanks for doing this. So I know it's hard to
say here's one gift idea for a special needs child,
but you do have some gift ideas for anybody who
wants to give a gift to a family with a
special needs child.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
I do, I do, and I have a really good
link whereas with dozens of ideas.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Okay, cool, and we're going to put that link at
Murphy Samonjody dot com where the gift to day gifts
are awesome. So that's there too, okay.
Speaker 8 (33:52):
So it's only good when you're looking for a gift
for special needs kiddo. You want to kind of try
to promote inclusion, something that they can engage in with
their siblings or with family or with peers. And it's
always good to have some kind of activity because I
mean even looking at Thanksgiving when Hope was with her
cousins and you know, with everybody, she was just lit up.
She said, happy to engage. She's not verbal, and she
(34:14):
doesn't have the skills to sit and play a board
game or sit and watch a movie and so be included.
It's just really awesome when she's happy.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
She collapsed, How much do I love that? And she
gave Murphy a ton of hugs.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
Yeah, it's also good too to look for you know,
engagement toys and activities that they're really going to enjoy
and something they can be successful at. Do you want
to kind of consider their needs? You know, do they
have a physical disability or is it a developmental or
intellectual disability and you want to kind of consider that
or their mobility issues, motor control and things like that,
and what their special interests are, if they have a
(34:47):
favorite superhero or a sports team. And also sensory sensitivity.
Some kids have sensitivities to certain fabrics or sounds. Right,
My daughter mouths a lot of things, so you have
to be careful, almost like with a baby. You can't
have a lot of really small part toys that you
pull the string and that shake and vibrate. They actually
scare her and she will cry and she doesn't like
(35:08):
those kinds of toys, and so you know, and sometimes
you can just talk to the parent and see if
they have certain issues like that when you consider.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Right, I think it's super important to talk to the parent.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Well, And that's what I was going to say is
sometimes we're not comfortable. But I think any parent of
a special needs child would appreciate that, right, Oh.
Speaker 8 (35:22):
Absolutely, I very much appreciate it. And it lets me
know that you're really thinking about my kiddo and you
want to get them something that they'll really enjoy before
grabbing stuffing at Walgreens at the last minute.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
You know, you know, yeah, you can grab something for
me at Walgreen.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
We've all done that. I'm super excited about what I
got for Hope this year. I finally feel like I
got it right without having to ask you because I've
spent more time with her recently. I'm We're excited. Okay, Candace,
thank you, I love you. Go get the links for canvases,
recommendations great gifts for special needs children at Murphy Samonjeddi

I think it was her and Kenny Rogers.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
There's a surprise, nice Dollywood. I'm sure if there's anywhere
to find a copy.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
That's harder than you think, though.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
You can't find it on Amazon or something.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Want, no, No, I'd have to look. I wasn't looking
for a copy. But yeah, it's it's pretty special, it's

or eight seven seven three one zero four ms J
Got something I want to show you guys, since we've
been talking about Christmas traditions over the past couple of weeks. Yeah,
when I was getting all the decorations out the attic,
I stumbled upon this, literally, because it's something that's been
in my attic for years and thous.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You cleaned out, Sam, I thought you didn't keep old stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
No, this one thing I did of my dad's. There's
a few things I've kept up his this one. I
would see it every year at my parents' house when
we would clean, you know, get all the stuff out
the attic for Christmas, and I'd always ask about it
and it's, oh, that's your dad's from when he was
a little kid. And it always terrified me because it's
the scariest looking Santa Claus you've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Oh no, I don't like scary.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It's a doll. It's about two feet tall, and I'm
about to show it to you. I'm just warning you
ahead of time. It's kind of falling apart because it's
from back in his childhood. Nobody wants to see this.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It is scary. Everybody when they would come over.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Are you ready put your coffee down? Here's Santa.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oh well, first of all, his pants are pull his
pants up, yeah right, exactly like a doll.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
His pants never have been up. I see, there's a
little love, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
So this is actually a doll that looks like a
baby doll. You can see it on our Facebook page.
But the doll looks like a baby doll with a
sand and head on it.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Santa looks like he's been drinking.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Well, first of all, I can understand where they were
trying to go with Sama. His cheeks are very rosy,
and they tried to make him jolly, but he looks
a little He definitely is retro.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, he's old and he's falling apart. So he's got
strings that hold his wow neck and hands and all that.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So relic.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
But when your dad was a kid, that would have
been in the nineteen forties.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, nineteen forties, and this thing, whenever we would see
it in the attic or he'd bring it down, it
just scared me. I'm surprised it hasn't scared you. No,
just I don't like the way he looks.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
You know what, That's funny how everybody has a different impression.
What that reminds me of or some of the old
school plastic things that used to be in the front yard.
I love you know. My parents had the candle tubes
that had the night light at the bottom of it.
It was the tube and had that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, I love that. I legitimately love that. Those are
my favorites.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I think retro. You can buy those on epay now. Actually,
I think there's some remanufacturers that make those new now.
But so you know it's Sam. I guess if you
could button his coat and close his coat, he wouldn't
be so scared.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It just looks like Santa's had a rough night, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
This thing just well, yeah, because the belly being wide open,
it looks like he's been drinking.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Almost as soon as I'm done showing it to you here,
it's going back home and backing the attic because I
just do not like the looks of this thing.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
But you can't get rid of him, can you can't.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
He's not that bad. I'm sorry, he's not that scary.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The funny thing is, I've never shown it to my kids.
Maybe I should do that this year and see what
the take is.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I don't let him look at it on the Facebook
page first, all right, if you really want to see
it in person.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Oh, Judy's gift today? You guys ready for teenager gift
ideas today?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Boy or girl?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
All both. I just want to throw out more than
one idea here because a lot of times moms and
dads will tell you this as a kid gets older,
you know, and then the family will ask you, Hey,
what do you want me to get Taylor this year?
What should I get Maddie this year? You're gonna get
those questions, and you you know you need those ideas, right.
(03:18):
Gift cards are great for teenagers, like wherever they love
to go. Teenagers love designer coffee, they love fast food.
But pair it with something fun. You said something last hour, Sam,
when we were doing the mail bag about Jackson getting
a gaming box last year.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah. It was one of those gift bags, you know,
those regular gift bags. And Sam, you put a bunch
of stuff in there that gamers use, like if you're
playing games for hours. Yeah, you got a mountain dew,
you got a bag of chips, a PlayStation, a preapproved checklist. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So that's a really good idea. So let's add that
the gaming gift box. You got to know what the
teenagers into One of the ideas I came up with
is the big movie night gift box or the binge
gift box, you know, and it can be a bag
or a box, but all their favorite snacks, popcorn, hot chocolates.
It's you know, Christmas time. You don't have to throw
(04:12):
like the old way would be to throw in DVDs.
Kids aren't doing that, you know, they're watching digit mostly.
But the big snack box have you got, you know,
in the past. Last year, I think we received some
sort of big gift basket full of all kinds of snacks.
You guys, remember that exciting to go through. You create
(04:32):
that for a t.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
One in a box of half eaten things, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
The teenagers never received something like that. They might really
dig that, you know. For instance, I'm gonna throw this
out our cousin Jacob. He loves cheddar jalapeno cheetos and
rightly so, they're ridiculous. If I gave him a gift
card tomorrow, I would give it with a bag of
those you know, you got to add something something fun
(04:57):
attrack that. Yeah, So go get these ideas and you
can send us yours to remember they love merch too.
They have stranger things.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
They love their favorite store.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Murphy, Sam and Jody dot Com.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Conging out the twelve of Christmas today. It's all sorts
of fun we have for you, Murphy, Salmon, Jody dot
Com for the holiday season. Uh, some advice for you
in the twenty four hour voicemail. So let's check that now, Murphy.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Sam and Judy twenty four hour Voicemail, Evers and Jodey.
He's sick. Unfortunately. I just wanted to believe a little
note to say that whenever I started to lose my voice,
I would have a little bit of honey, a little
bit of vinegar and Jack Daniels.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Wait, wait, thanks for the voice.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You think that's funny. No, I know I grew up
in the country. I know.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Like we'll tell it.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Honey and lemon and Jack Daniels saying, I know people
have taken that, but yeah, like a toddy or whatever.
But the vinegar, Wow, they're supposed to be good.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
For you and have healing properties and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Tell you this can't do the Jack Daniels anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I don't know if you knew this, Murphy, but I
had coughing problems when I was a little girl, so
much so my dad. You know, the little neighborhood I
grew up in, it was like the little cul de sac.
It was a gravel and when people would drive fast,
the dust would kick up, and my coughing would kick up.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I how have we come this far? And I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I don't know. We didn't talk about that, but everything,
everything made me cough. And I was a country girl.
I was outside running around barefoot. But my dad like
petitioned and did a lot of work to get our
neighborhood the blacktop or cemented, so that I could go
outside and play more. And he did that. But also
that's how I learned that I was allergic to codeine,
(06:43):
because we tried every cough medicine, every cough medicine, and
when I would take one with codine, I would hallucinate.
And he came home one night from working one of
those late shifts shift work that he did, and I
was running through the house in my nightgown, hysterical, just
like now, and I almost ran into this huge wood
(07:04):
burning stove thing. He had to stand in front of
it and block me and shake me awake things like that.
So now I'm still allergic to coding to this day.
Don't give it to you.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I remember you saying that, I mean, it is narcotic.
You realized it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Maybe I wasn't allergic to it, Maybe I just can't
deal with it. But I remember once he did resort
to that, and my Dady gave me something that was honey,
lemon and certainly something alcohol, and boy did it work
because of the alcohol.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But only once you didn't have any coding. But give
her some, Jack.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We love hearing from you. Give us a call this morning.
Eight seven seven three one zero four. MSJ. I love
hearing from you about your specific Christmas traditions that you
do with your family. Eight seven seven three one zero
four ms J. What's up, Barbara.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I wanted to tell you about my tradition. So what
I do is during the holidays and I we get
together and we actually go shopping. And it's a little
thing that I started when they were little. And what
we do is we're when we're shopping, we're walking around
and my kids will say, Mom, that's the one. And
what we do is we put aside one hundred dollars
(08:15):
and we go to a family that we see that
they need and we give them that one hundred dollars
for Christmas. So that's kind of like a little tradition
I started when they were young, and now one's twenty
one and one sixteen, and every Christmas they're like, Mom,
are we going shopping? Are we going shopping? Because that's
what they look forward to from when we were little.
When they were little, they would say, Mom, how do
(08:36):
you know? And I say, I would tell them. I said,
sometimes it's just you know, you know, you get that feeling,
and I said, you'll figure it out. And so as
they've grown up, they've actually said, Mom, I understand. They
just look at them and they say, okay, I understand, Mom.
They look like they need something, and we could be
in a line somewhere and they'll go, Mom, let's pay
(08:58):
for the person behind us. That's what I want to
do for.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
One hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
It's really unique because I like the idea of them
learning that it's it's just really nice to give. Yes,
it's amazing because the people are just the latest. They're
like really.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And they're like yeah, so sweet, And you know they
will as they grow up and have families. They'll do
that too. That's right, totally set that up, Barbara.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Absolutely, And I'm just it just gives it warms my heart.
Every year when they're like, Mom, let's go shopping, I'm.

Speaker 7 (10:31):
Well, the Christmas tradition that I have, it's actually with
my fiance's family. What we do every year is we
get all of his family together, probably a week or
so before Christmas, and we more or less camp out
in their living room and we have a marathon of
the old traditional Christmas cartoon like Rudolph and Santa Claus
(10:53):
coming to Town, all of the old classic creamation because
his dad has an old v VCR that still works
and we have them all on VHS still.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Oh my shoot, really kick at old school.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
It's really funny because his brother, he's fourteen now, he
always likes to grope and moan about, you know, doing
anything with the family, but he will come and he
will sit right there in front of the TV and
watch it with us. It's really huge.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And when you watch them like on well, I was
about to say DVD, but you're you're like kicking it VHS,
you can tell where the commercials used to be. Yeah,
you know, like.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Oh yeah, there's like a stop right there in the middle.
But it's always we don't mind it. So we've been
doing it for years and.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
For Rudolph, it's something about when he goes off in
his own and you're so scared for him, and he's
on that little ice thing.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
Just sitting there and you feel it.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
We always his grandmother comes over with us too, So

a family traditions. I have five children, I have five kids,
five grandchildren of course, all the spouses and everything that
come with it. And every year on Christmas Eve, we
do a big party and we play bingo and we
do you know, the socks and just all the different
(12:49):
things in all of the kids in the night at
my house. Love it still. But I've added something this
year that is going to be so much fun. I
ordered nineteen Nerf guns, yes, all the same, so that
they all take the same ammo, and we are going
to have a huge Nerf war on Christmas Eve. And
(13:14):
I wait because somebody's bringing a go pro because they
want to record it. So that's going to be our
new tradition that we're going to do every year, in
addition to the karaoke and bingo and all the other
things that we do.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Love.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
So everybody will be sort of armed.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
Yes, everybody will be armed. And then my sister in
law and then they'll go home and all the children
stay for the night, and then it's so much fun.
We just have so much fun. We get up early,
and nobody gets up until we ring the bells and
then they all, even though my kids are all grown,
they come flying down the stairs like they're just like
(13:52):
little children. It's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Sounds like a TV show that I want to watch.

used to do the same thing. We would still stay
at her house for Christmas Eve for the longest time. Yeah,

nerve gun thing though. That sounds like a lot of fun.

very specific. In other words, I'll give you this idea
and you can decide what you want, but I'm also
giving you a specific Does that make sense? Okay, when
you're getting it.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Like a puzzle to me, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, I'm fascinated by giant Jinga. I just am.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You know, the regular giant James.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Well, I've seen him in like bars and stuff, but
we've never had one.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Oh wait, wait wait, So it's like the big version
of the Jinga jinga name.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
We had a regular jinga game last year and the
kids love it and it's regular size, and of course
what happened at our house. One of them hit the floor,
a dog chewed it. Game ruined because you can't get
it back in there the right same money.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yeah, you're doom.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Minus one piece.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Why don't you just take off a lever a level?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I don't do that, but yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
So giant Jinga is I mean, it's big.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You're going to say this again.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
You can't hurt yourself with it, right, I mean the
logs are so heavy, not.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Bigger than you, Murphy, it's like three feet four feet
tall or something like that, but it's bigger. So it's
more expensive gift. It's gonna cost you a little more,
but it's really fun. It's really fun and everybody will play.
You have people over and you break out Giant Jinga,
everybody leaves, everybody is gonna be one to play. So
I just think that's a fun family game.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Readers really do easy enough to store Giant Jinga.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
You gotta room.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
It takes two closets.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Maybe you leave it out all the time. Maybe you
leave it out all the time. Him with our dogs,
Man Champ would lift his leg on China.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yes, maybe you're a game.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I'm just fast.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
So Jody's really selling of giants. I forget the idea.

Well, we're going to get to the instant pot and
why it's such a hot item, especially for this time
a year, But first I want to read a message
from Susan might clear up a little bit confusion for
any of our listeners. Okay, she says, whenever I would
see picks of you guys, I always thought that the taller,
light haired man was Murphy. I just went to your
video on your YouTube channel of Sam's dating mistake, and
(23:16):
it was surprised to know I've been wrong the whole time.
Am I the only one that thinks this?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Sam and I've been mixed up for years?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, but for different reasons.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I've been called Sam more than you realize. I'm called
Murphy a lot too, you and your wife, Yah, buddy.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, So to clarify, Sam is the tall looking, light
headed guy who's single and funny, and Murphy is the sweet, cozy, funny,
good looking warm heart.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well that's nice of you to say that. You know,
people kind of pick on me for the beard a
mustache sometimes, Jody, Oh, please.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Don't lose it. Who cares?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
What people say, by the way, speaking of beer, do
you like mine? It just took a whole month.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I do that.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
November's over, you can. I'll work on it though. By
January you might really have time to talk about it.
Thank you, Susan.
Speaker 12 (24:04):
Okay, and Heather says, listening to the podcast and heard
you guys talking about the instant pot. Yeah, I received
one for my birthday the beginning of this month and
last month, and it's a kitchen game changer. I've cooked
in it daily for the last two weeks. Absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yes, I was very intimidated at first, Heather, completely, like
that thing was sitting on my counter haunting me. My
cousins kept sending me these easy recipes and it was
recommended that I start small with a soup, and I
did that last this past weekend, and so we did
a creamy chicken ench a loata soup that was delicious
and it's easy. So it is a game changer. But
(24:41):
the reason I was hesitant at first because I don't
I don't want to learn a bunch of new tricks,
you know, I don't want to learn how to do
new things. But that's what it is, and it's super simple.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And fast, better than a crockpot.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Oh yes, Peggy says she can make a roast in
two hours using this. Yeah, you can use it as
a crock you can use it as a slow CoA certiqua.
Speaker 3 (24:59):

your blog there, Jody go through some of the things
that you the ins and outs that we've seen. I've

DNA tests, don't they have like a couple of companies,
Ancestry DNA and twenty three and me.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
It's one of the hottest gifts of this season.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Somebody, I mean, I know why Sam would need DNA test.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Oh, which, by the way, I have done.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You had to do that one.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Hey, hey, hey, okay, now we're getting legal. But yes,
it's one of the like hip things. You swab yourself,
you send off the kit and they oh for genealogy
purpose so you can find out you know, who I
am and what I made.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I Do you understand the fascination?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Do you want to do it?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Murphy?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
You want no? I mean now that you say that
it took them and to click, because I had some
of you know who told me. Yeah, he found out
that he goes back to an English heritage and somebody
was somewhere in Britain or something like that.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, and you were really paying attention.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
But I thought he was just doing the classic I
thought he was doing the classic research thing through the
gene website. This is actually you send.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Them, you send them your yeah, and it tells you
what percentage you are of each different kind of nationality.
It's also good for a genetic disease research, you know, Okay,
if you want to worry about that.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Wow, I didn't even think of course Black.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Black Thursday or Black Thursday, Black Friday, different date altogether.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
They were on sale.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
They were one of the top five things on Were
they really there was three Amazon add ons including and
also the Inso and the Instant Pot and this were
the top five.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Seriously saw those?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
And so when they're not on sale? Are they expensive? Yes?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yes, it was about half price on Black Friday.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, they are a couple hundred bucks. You swam yourself,
you send it off, they run it through the computer.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Allegedly, Yes, they give them the Okay, I've been the thing.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yeah, you know, I guess that's one of those out
I'll have to find it on sale. Otherwise I'll just
let my past remain a mystery.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Has our dad dug into all that Murphy before?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I mean, personally it's weird. I mean, there was a
family member who did old school before it was all online,
and she had passed down to us a big chart
that goes back to Catherine of Aragon in England. But
that goes up through my mother's it's actually, I'm sorry,
it goes up through my grandmother's side.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
See that's genealogy. This is just actually it's not telling
you people. It's just telling you your country of origin
or your type of people.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Okay, curious to know.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I'd love to have that one for Christmas if the
kids want to all chime in. But again, yeah, it's
really expensive.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
He's jelly. His belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly.
Thank you, Murphy. Yeah, not Sam Santa Claus. Oh, yes,
me too.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
How often do you go to the to the doctor
at the North Pole?
Speaker 13 (28:04):
Well, I I have an elf doctor, which is very
convenient for a guy like me because there's all sorts
of you know, rolls and crevices to check.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 13 (28:17):
It's basically what my medical team is working on me.
It looks like a bunch of construction workers on the
toll My gosh.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
You have you have elf nurses too, Yes, we do.
Candy stripers again, very nice.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Going to move you over to the nice list.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I'm working it.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
That's all it takes. Okay, Look, Santa, we promised the
kids we would answer some email, and you have a
lot of email. Uh that's coming to Murphy sam and
at Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I love good.
Speaker 13 (28:47):
Look anyway a child communicates with me, I'm going to
get that communication. Write me a life, make a wish
out loud, keep it to yourself, put it in an email.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Santa will know we have one from and we have
children and adults writing in. This is from Cheyenne. Dear Santa,
I may be eighteen and autistic, but I still believe
in you. I know that the Christmas season isn't about
getting presents. It's about giving and spending time with people
that we hold Dear, I hope that you have been
watching me because I've been trying my best to be good.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yes, I have what.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I've been wanting for Christmas this year, some more generation
for my little ponies. There are some specific ones I
need to add. Sunny, rays, plump, sweet, and flitter heart.
All right, isn't that sweet?
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
You know what.
Speaker 13 (29:36):
Cheyenne brings up A good point. Santa loves all kinds
of children, and there are all kinds of special kids
out there who have different conditions that make them feel
on the outside of things, or that people don't always understand.
But sometimes the most incredibly deep thinkers, the kindest people
(29:59):
in the world are the ones who don't say much,
oh don't do much. And I know that about you.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Cheyenne so sweet. She ends this with anyway, I hope
that you and missus Claws and the reindeer are doing
okay at the North Pole and I can't wait to
see you on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Well, same here.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Thank you for the email. Send anything to sants at
Murphy samand Jody dot com. We love you too, Santa.
So today's gift today, ideas will idea will be what
to give special needs children, and that's going to be
coming up. But first we want to introduce you to
my beautiful cousin Candace. Hey, baby, Hi, good morning. How
(30:37):
you doing.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
You know I should tell you that Candace was the
first family member I met of Jody's when she and
I first started dating.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yeah, and that's because camp. You had to pass the
canvas test.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
That's right. And once I was passed the canvas test,
I was in.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
It says a lot. You met Candace before you met
my grandmother, before you met my mom. Yeah, big deal.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
We're all writing in a convertible together.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yes, we were. And we went to Sonic. Remember we
got Okay, I.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Don't ever forget a Sonic.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Notte Okay, Okay, So seriously, Candice, you have these two
awesome children, James, who is such a cool kid, and
then Hope, who is a beautiful girl. She's a special
needs child, and man, watching you parent her is exhausting.
She's beautiful and wonderful, but she's like a toddler times three.
You cannot keep your eyes off of her. And right,
(31:26):
and so over the years, you know, when Christmas time
rolls around. I have felt pretty nervous when it's time
to give her something because I know that her development
is delayed, and I don't want I know it's silly
to say, but I didn't want to insult you and
hope by giving you something so much younger than what
she actually is. But that's actually that's not really at
all right. Okay, Well, so I thought of you, and
(31:49):
not only do you have this experience because you are
the mom of a special needs child, but you got
to give me your title again, cousin, because I don't
remember what it is, exactly what your title is at
your job.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
But hit me, I'm a behavior analyst, that's the short.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
She thought you were a transponsor. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yeah, okay, but you work with special needs children all
the time and children with autism and all this, so
this is your specialty. So I guess we want to
hear from you on what our good gift ideas for
special needs children.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
And you're exactly right. It can be really tricky, and
even for me as a parents, sometimes people will ask, well,
what does polks want? And I don't. I'm like, well,
your guest is as good as mine. I don't know,
and it's difficult, and you're right the older that she gets.
I work for a young man as twenty seven now,
and it's hard to find gifts for him. He doesn't
have a lot of leisure interests, but he really likes
(32:46):
like light up of music toys that are more like
for toddlers and difficult between that with's age appropriate and
what is something that they will truly enjoy?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Right, Well, I'm glad that you're here to help us
with that. So we'll have the list of those coming
up next. You know, this is I love that we're
doing doing this as part of our gift today.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, because and special needs children, they're all different. So
some really good ideas from Candace from you coming up next.
Thanks Christmas gift ideas for kids from one to ninety two.
It's a gift today at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com.
So we are visiting with my cousin Candace, who is
a behavior analyst and for children, and she has a
(33:26):
special needs child, Miss Hope, who's so beautiful. Hey Candace, Hey,
thanks for doing this. So I know it's hard to
say here's one gift idea for a special needs child,
but you do have some gift ideas for anybody who
wants to give a gift to a family with a
special needs child.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
I do, I do, and I have a really good
link whereas with dozens of ideas.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Okay, cool, and we're going to put that link at
Murphy Samonjody dot com where the gift to day gifts
are awesome. So that's there too, okay.
Speaker 8 (33:52):
So it's only good when you're looking for a gift
for special needs kiddo. You want to kind of try
to promote inclusion, something that they can engage in with
their siblings or with family or with peers. And it's
always good to have some kind of activity because I
mean even looking at Thanksgiving when Hope was with her
cousins and you know, with everybody, she was just lit up.
She said, happy to engage. She's not verbal, and she
(34:14):
doesn't have the skills to sit and play a board
game or sit and watch a movie and so be included.
It's just really awesome when she's happy.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
She collapsed, How much do I love that? And she
gave Murphy a ton of hugs.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
Yeah, it's also good too to look for you know,
engagement toys and activities that they're really going to enjoy
and something they can be successful at. Do you want
to kind of consider their needs? You know, do they
have a physical disability or is it a developmental or
intellectual disability and you want to kind of consider that
or their mobility issues, motor control and things like that,
and what their special interests are, if they have a
(34:47):
favorite superhero or a sports team. And also sensory sensitivity.
Some kids have sensitivities to certain fabrics or sounds. Right,
My daughter mouths a lot of things, so you have
to be careful, almost like with a baby. You can't
have a lot of really small part toys that you
pull the string and that shake and vibrate. They actually
scare her and she will cry and she doesn't like
(35:08):
those kinds of toys, and so you know, and sometimes
you can just talk to the parent and see if
they have certain issues like that when you consider.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Right, I think it's super important to talk to the parent.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Well, And that's what I was going to say is
sometimes we're not comfortable. But I think any parent of
a special needs child would appreciate that, right, Oh.
Speaker 8 (35:22):
Absolutely, I very much appreciate it. And it lets me
know that you're really thinking about my kiddo and you
want to get them something that they'll really enjoy before
grabbing stuffing at Walgreens at the last minute.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
You know, you know, yeah, you can grab something for
me at Walgreen.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
We've all done that. I'm super excited about what I
got for Hope this year. I finally feel like I
got it right without having to ask you because I've
spent more time with her recently. I'm We're excited. Okay, Candace,
thank you, I love you. Go get the links for canvases,
