Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choty Weekend Show podcast, highlighting
some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Morning Picked me up time, so excited to tell you this.
We're going to remind you this of this in December
as well. What kids actually remember from the holidays while
you are stressing over finding that perfect thing or making
sure that perfect dress and all these little details that
you think matter so much. What children actually remember from
the holidays. Let's go down the list for you. Your
(00:29):
family traditions. Oh yeah, that's one Sam years from now
when you're not even here anymore, which is sad to
think about. Your children are are gonna be like, Hey,
you remember when Da used to do chicken finger Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's how it is.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Gott he died and we stopped doing.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
As a kid though, you probably remember sitting in Sanna's
lap and you remember.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
The family traditions.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, whatever you create that you do every year, even
something that you accidentally created, Yeah, that's what they remember.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
That's one thing.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I think that's because you are doing it every year,
I know, because it's over and over and over.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Wow, stick the family connection. Maybe you only get to
hang out with your cousins at Christmas time. That was
my experience growing up, Murphy. You spent the night at
your grandmother's house on Christmas.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, we couldn't wait to pick up.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So family, the connection with loved ones. But the number
one tradition, yess family, if you take a trip, whatever,
the number one is the emotional and the feelings attached
to it. Those experiences, sensory experiences like smells like if
you only make cinnamon you know, rolls on Christmas morning
(01:41):
once in a great while. It's about that for them
when they're little. It's a sensory thing the tree, right,
But the most powerful being emotions, the feeling of safety
and warmth and happiness. Think about a kid who cannot
wait for Santa. That is a a feeling that cannot
(02:02):
be matched any other time of the year, and you'll
struggle to match that feeling the rest of your life.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
It's part of the reason I put up the old
school lights outside the house every year. You know, these
big glass bulbs. Oh yeah, that's what we used to
do before all the tensil lights and the icicles and
all came along.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Throwback.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You're doing that based on feeling.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, and you know The thing is it doesn't have
to be you know, elaborate, because you know you're you
struggle with different things at different times in your life,
and it's not about the stuff. It's just about that experience, right.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
That's what kids remember, and that's to pick me up today.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Social Media connect.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Love having you along.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And we were saying that, you know, we all have
Thanksgiving on the brain. Now we're looking ahead to that
like three weeks away and not holiday will be here.
Alyssa sent us this message to messenger, where are the
brownies that have pecan pie on top? Alissa, You're in luck.
It's one of our favorite newer recipes. I'll say that
(03:01):
in our family favorites holiday recipes at Murphysalmonjody dot com. Okay,
so it's up there for you on the website. It's
something that our my cousin brought into our lives a
couple of years ago at Thanksgiving, Murphy and nothing like
all the other desserts fall away for me, it's you
make a pan of brownies and then you make this
concoction that's pecan pie, like the filling for pecan pie,
(03:24):
and you pour it on top and you let it set.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Set, and it's incredible. So you had heard of it.
That's where it is, Alyssa Murphy Salmonjody dot Com.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, it is a good one. You just have to
be careful about which brownie mix that you use with it,
because if you try to go extra fudgs, you're gonna
turn it into a liquid mess, right.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Because what's on top of it is wet.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Use a regular brownie mix or cake like because that
topping is going to soak into the brownie. The first
year that my cousin Candice made it, it was just.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
A wet mess. We were sitting there eating with a spoon.
Though it was so good.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You cooked the brownies first.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
The brownies person that you put the stuff on top, okay,
Jennifer Speaking of food, Jennifer sent us a picture of somebody.
She said, this is for you, Jody, and it's a
picture of what looks like at first glance of a
gingerbread house. And what she typed though, is move over
gingerbread houses. Charcuterie chalets are here. Have you heard of
these things? It's an entire savory house that you build, Murphy.
(04:24):
I don't really think I want to build one, but
everything on this thing is savory like the sides of
it are those long crispy breadsticks. The top of it,
the roof is like either pepperoni or salami. No, no,
like flaying flat like a roof travel like shingles would be.
The top of it is cheese. But then there's also
(04:45):
some cheese that's dusted like. It looks like it's been
snowed on. The trees outside are like rosemary sprigs, and
the windows of this house stuck to cheese are those
little grid looking pretzel things that you can buy.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It is the cutest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's cute.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Thank you for the idea.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The holidays are coming.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
November is a personal month in our lives, me and
Murphy because.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Let me think about that. Oh yeah, that's right, the
month we got married. It is no, remember the twelfth
is our anniversary?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yes, what day is that on this this month?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
This is Wednesday? I think Tom the twelfth.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
What year? I mean, how many years?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Twenty six is that right?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah? Nineteen ninety nine six.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Well last year was a big anniversary, is why I remember?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, yeah, you know. And the thing is we we're
going to celebrate this weekend because you can't really celebrate,
you know, in the middle of the week dinner. I
guess we could do keep it simple, but this is
kind of a nice little getaway.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
We should make some reservations maybe for next Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Murphy has reservations.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Anyway, I was thinking about it today because you know,
there has been a lot going on lately, sort of
behind the scenes. Murphy has been working day and night lately.
You have a bunch of deadlines. You have a bunch
of projects right just right now that have fallen on you.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, the world's changed a little bit around me, and
so I'm you know, adapting you.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So the last few days on the low, like I'll
say on the low meaning you don't know this sound,
but I haven't seen Murphy a lot, Like we didn't
have our regular lunch together this week.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I have We've had an appointment to do that was work, right, Yeah,
Murphy was available, Like okay, I'll just go pick up
a smoothie. See.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Anyway, I wanted to say, you know, every more than
one day this week, like this is the fourth day
in a row that I or the third day in
a row. I remember, I've called you and said, hey,
is there anything I can do for you.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You know, I'm out running errands. I know you're working.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I know when you get home, I'll see you for
ten minutes for dinner and then you're going to go work.
So is there anything I can do for you and
pick up laundry or pick up snacks or is there
anything I can do? And I just thought, you know,
this is what you do. This is how it's supposed
to be a relationship, a marriage, a relationship. You're supposed
to support each other in the little in the little ways.
(07:10):
That's what it is. Yeah, there are big moments to consider,
but it's it's the day to day little things, me
picking up dinner.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And when you say supporting each other that that's really important.
It's but it's a both ways.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, it does need to be both because that you
have people have that.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, and I do think that we do that because
for each other. Sometimes it's unspoken, sometimes it is spoken.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, but I just you know, you think about these
grand gestures when it comes to marriage and love and
all the big gestures, But honestly, marriage is in the
little things, the little things.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah it is, And it's little actions, right, because that's Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Can I pick up your laundry. You know, can you
do this? Can you make reservations? Can you take me
out of town this weekend? Would you sign a pet
prenup if you thought to do it at the beginning
of a relationship.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I guess you're going to have to explain that.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Actually I shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
A pet prenup means who gets custody of the pet
if there's a breakup.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh, I thought it meant like if the if the
pets wind up splitting up, which pet gets?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
What?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You know, like, of course you know pet's coming to
a relation.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Tell me which lawyer specializes in that.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Hey, someone's making money with that.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
So okay, you know what to do with that. I
know a pet prenup As soon as I heard it.
I knew what it meant.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I would say, if you came into the relationship with
the pet, then it's yours.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
But if you mutually adopted the pet, that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I met a girl a long time ago. Her name
was Rebeca.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
She's married to somebody else now, but she had just
broken up with somebody she had been living with, and
they adopted a dog together, and that dog was her heart.
And she got home and it was a long story.
They broke up because of something that happened at a wedding. Anyway,
(08:59):
when she got back, he had gone and he had
taken the dog, and she was devastated. And it's like
you needed a pet, prenupt. She didn't get that dog
and she loved him and she thought that her ex
took the dog sort of to yeah, hurt herul the
way that you hurt people.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Get it back after they talked or anything. No, man, no,
And if.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
They weren't married, though I don't know that, I guess
you could still have an agreement that if you split up.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Here's what's up.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
In most states, pets are considered you know, they're considered property.
Now in California there are different laws where they're looking
at it, where you know, consider animals the animal's best interest,
and that's in California though that's not everywhere else. So
maybe it's a good idea to sort of set these
things in stone before you get into a serious relationship
(09:46):
about the pets. The question I have for you, Sam,
I've never lost a pet in a relationship. In fact,
the relationship I got out of before I got into
this one with you Murphy. It was like, please take
this cat. Yeah, did you ever lose a a pet
in a relationship?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Sam?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
No pets that I wanted. No, I mean for me,
it came it was like mutually agreed upon. It's like, well,
that's your cat, you take it, or this is your dog,
or you know, it's like Gus. I got Gus when
the last break up, and I was good, she got
another dog.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, Gus was yours.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Unfortunately I got a Boo the cat too.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
But you can't work.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
That's the civil way to handle it, and I guess
some people don't handle it that way.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
The truth of the matter is most pet owners would
do a pet prenup if they could, because you see
your pets as family as your children, right or wrong,
that's how we see them. Walked into a place of
business yesterday and there were Christmas trees up and fully decorated,
and my heart was singing with joy. And then I
(10:49):
got home and we still have Boo on the front door.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You know, b o O.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'm sure a lot of people do.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
J Walmart converted the Gardens Center to Christmas right weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I was walking through Walmart. Was it Sunday or whatever?
A few days ago and they were taking away and
cleaning the shelves of Halloween and putting the Christmas stuff up.
And I was there while it was happening. I mean,
Christmas candy and Christmas candles and things like that were
going on the shelves and I'm like, oh, am, I
the first one to smell the Christmas cookie candle.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
What. It was so exciting, But it made.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Me think, Murphy, I just want you to know, you know,
we have a lot of Christmas stuff and that all
of it means a lot to me and the kids
and the family, and we decorate the house for Christmas
and all that, but it's usually a major chour, you know,
all one one day and we're just Christmas monsters and
everything comes out. My plan is to do it differently
(11:51):
this year. I'm going to do a little out of
time smart right. I've never done it that way, all
or nothing, but to get out like I'm gonna start
this week. If you don't mind Christmas dishes, you know,
the plates and the trays and the glasses with the
trees on them.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, that's it. I thought maybe you meant I was
going to be going back to the closet once a weekend. Yeah,
this weekend. It's this this weekend. It's that I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yeah, well that'd be.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
So bad once a weekend. I mean, it wouldn't be
so bad, So you just but you.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Know what's smart about that? It takes the pressure off.
That's a good approach for anybody, especially since we have
family that stays with us over the holidays. You don't
need to be cramming and burning all that energy.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Correct before then, Now, keep this in mind. You're gonna
your intention is to do.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
That, I know it.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
But watch the thrill of the season. Get tell you.
As soon as you do bring the Christmas plates out,
you're gonna like, well that was quick. Well you know
I should do something else right now? How about the tree?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
But if that happens, that's on me.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah right, I'm trying to make it lighter on myself
and more enjoyable by one thing at a time.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Well, for the very first time since we've ever been married,
I left the floodlights for Christmas outside last year in
their place. Now they've not been turned on, but maybe
them back in Yeah, no kidding, go.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
We learned this week that children under the age of
six ask their parents about forty six questions a day.
That's an average. You've got a chatty Kathy on your
hands is even more.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, that's a lot in one day. It is. If
you're talking in twelve hours, that's almost four questions an hour.
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I love it, though.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I mean, that's a child's job is to learn about
their world, and if you're their number one adult, you
know that's your job is to answer questions as best
you can.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, And I always tried to be patient with that,
as you know, Jody, And most of the time I
was fine unless it became two things at once, like
if I was trying to park the car and I
was being asked a question at the same time.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
The only time you get asked the question right Murphy's
classic most remembered answer, which because we were driving. I
think he was rolling into the drive through, which is
also a whole other added, you know, hurdle for him.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Phoebe was asking Taylor.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Taylor was asking all about the weather, and then she
finally said, how did the meteorologies people know this?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Though?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That was after about five questions, and your answer was
they just know well, But it was more like Taylor.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
They just know.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I know, I felt absolutely not the answer. It doesn't
just come to them naturally, they don't just know.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
But it was that moment I'm like, I'm trying to
make sure I don't hit the car.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That one lives on like as a family joke. Now
they just know is a bad answer. What about you, Sam,
do you remember one?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah? Remember the time I got pulled over for speeding
in the National Park? I do, Sam That Parker was
in the back seat and he asked if I was
gonna if the police officer was going to take me
to jail for that?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh bless him? What did you say?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Do you remember now, Parker? It's just I was going
too fast and I'm gonna have to pay a fine.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Okay, well that's good.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
At least that's a fine. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
One of my most interesting favorite ones was from our
youngest daughter, Phoebe. We were also in the car and
they were asking us a bunch of questions about why
can't we go I want to go to Disney now,
and why can't we do all this? We were together
and I remember we were All of our answers had
to do with money, like we can't do that right now.
We can't afford it right now. And she had heard
that sort of answer for a lot of things she
(15:35):
had been asking, and she finally said.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
The funny thing was.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Her answer or her response. Phoebe said, why does everything
have to be about money?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And I was like, pull the car over. I'd like
to know that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yes, that's right, that's that's philosophy.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
When they're young, about forty six per day and everything
is new to a child, of course they're asking questions.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Do the best you can. Moms and dads.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Social media connect connect.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
With us on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, all the places.
But you can also email us at Murphy Salmon Jody
dot com, which John has done.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
This is for the food. Dude was listening. He was
listening to the podcast about the breakfast burger at Cracker Barrel.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Oh yeah, it's a new breakfast burger at Cracker Barrel.
It's ground beef, it's not sausage beef, patty cheese, and
they have those hash browns from Cracker Barrel on it.
And yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Right, it's a tower. Yeah, it's a burger, but it's
a it's a breakfast burger basically, and Cracker bar that's
a smart thing from them.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Put on the menu.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It is, you eat it, you take your morning nap,
and then you get back up and go to work.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
What do you think of when you think of breakfast burgers.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I think what Sam says, sausage.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
No, I think hangover food. It's been a long time
we did that in Vegas. They had breakfast where we
had burgers for breakfast once in Vegas, long time ago.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Murphy.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, anyway, John said, well, I tried it last week
at a Cracker barrel and let me tell you, this
is one amazing sandwich. Really okay, everything works well together,
especially with the awesome bacon. Oh just make sure that
if you get it like it shows on the menu,
(17:18):
ask for extra napkins.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Oh wow wow.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Now and how the food, dude feels. Given me all
the feels. Love you guys. That's from John.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Thank you, John.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I mean to me, I want to try it for
the hash Browns on that something extra that you don't
usually get on a burger.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I want to try. And it's their hashbrown castrole, which
is really good.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, it's not just Hashprun's's castlerole.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Great.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I could never eat that whole thing. If we get
it out like a bite, split it. We can split
it fine.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I think we might be going to visit visit Uncle
Hersel this week.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Say we got to make him proud?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, Janet said this.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Hey, Murphy, Sam and Jody discovered your show several months ago,
and now you are my show. I enjoy the humor,
the songs. Sam's laugh is awesome. I love your segments
three things to Know the food, dude. I love it
when you talk about your lives and your encounters. Keep
up the fun, and Sam, I can relate on being
(18:11):
divorced and that whole scenario. I've been divorced twice. Life happens,
but happiness continues.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Good.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Well, I got three of those.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
So does happiness continue it?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Sure it does.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It does.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Now that's good.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Look.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Being single and being happy needs to be talked about more.
Keep it coming. Love having you a long.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Jody. You know Murphy was telling us his uplifting, positive
story about a chihuahua that had been lost for five
years and.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, hundreds of miles away and found out happy that
family is.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
But in the middle of him telling us this awesome, wonderful,
uplifting story, you said, Yeah, that's just the opposite of
what happened to me.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Well, I mean I was glad that he was what
happened that story because sometimes, you know, pet stories are painful.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Okay, we had many of them. I would hope would
be happy. You have a shot.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I do have a sad one. I've told you guys
this before.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
And the reason it's a painful memory is not because
of the pet, but because of it was a family situation.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
So when I was a young teenage girl, Yeah, my
mom and dad were having marital problems and I don't
know why, but my dad took our dog Mutt. Remember
I've told you about my dog, Mutt.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
He was a mutt.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I loved him very This is a dog out in
the country, you know, and it was really really cold.
I would let him into the house and I'd get
in trouble for it. I would go outside, and this
dog was a friend to me.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Okay, was he really your dog?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
It was a family dog. He was a family dog.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
My dad brought him home from hunting or something.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
He just wasn't allowed in the house.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
No, which just broke my heart.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
You know, home from hunting. Where did he bring him too.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So I don't know what was going on, and my
mom and dad were splitting up, and it was the
opposite of what we were talking about the prep pet prenups.
It was like, you take Mutt, no, you you keep Mutt,
and it was all this back and forth stuff, and
I'm like, I want Mutt. Anyway, one day I woke
up and went to school and he was Mutt was gone.
And apparently my dad this is the this was the
(20:23):
country way. No no, no, no no, this is not like
all yeller.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
But where is this going?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, the country way. I know where that's going.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
My dad took him, and that's all I knew. He's
not He's gone, and I was so upset, and I
cried and cried and cried.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I'm sure he found another forever family, probably days later,
to a friend he worked at a plant. Maybe give
it to a friend.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I convinced myself that Mutt was gone, gone, And two
days later he showed back up and my dad had
brought him miles away, and I don't know gave him
to a friend or I think he gave him to
a friend, like even deeper into the country, and that
dog found his way back.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
So it's a positive story.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
But it hurts allowed to stay back.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Oh yeah, he stayed until we'll see that's a happy
ending too.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I was really worried about where this.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Was going, especially getting rid of him the countryway.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
It hurt me because it was my dad. That's all Murphy.
I want to talk now about something.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah, it sounds like a fight.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
No, I want to talk now about your order, my order,
what you want to eat next week? Because you're doing
another what do you call the thing the ablacion on your.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Next next week?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah, it's a nerve burn.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And I'm your person, your emergency contact. I bring you
I you know, drive you home, put you to bed,
make sure you don't sign any legal documentary.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I meant to tell you that I listed somebody else
that's in an emergency contest this time.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
What do I have to do?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Have this conversation with Samon said, So.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
What do you usually get when you have these What
do you mean a burger or the way home?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah? I usually I don't remember because they load me
up with versaid for the.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
That's exactly why I want to have this conversation. We've
done this enough times where what happens is on the
way home, you're falling asleep, but you're starving. You're like, hey,
you're cute and you're asleep, and you're like, I'm starving,
and then you're asleep and so and then you insist
on ordering in the app, and so I'm trying to
keep you awake long enough for you to order on
the app. I don't have any fast food apps on
my phone. And so what I want you to do now,
(22:29):
decide what you want to eat after your procedure this time,
show me on the app or I'll put it on
my phone.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
And because I want you to get what you want exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Like, I appreciate that. That's the weird thing with versat
is so you can still function, you just don't remember
anything even though you're loopy. So it really doesn't matter
what I want.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
That's what I'm up.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I'm thinking, what does it matter what he wants? I
care that he has what he wants. Something nasty he
won't remember. Oh but while he he doesn't have to
be nasty. But I could certainly be less picky.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Right, you want a burger, let's swing into KFC.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I love the way you think he's less picky just
because he's high on Verse said she is absolutely the
same person. He's absolutely gonna say, he's gonna comment on
what he's eating.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
That is what's freaky about, you know that. And it's
it's widely used, I think, and a lot of dentists
will use it in procedures too. It's an amnesia drug,
is what. But when you're on it, you're loopy, but
you're absolutely able to function answer questions you're in the moment.
It's really weird because you won't recall it later.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
It's the wrong thing for you.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I would hear about him to just take his phone
from him and say, sure, I'm ordering on the app,
pull up to the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
He won't remember, all right.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
We definitely go deeper every single day in the after
the Show podcast, and we did just the other day
about the true crime saga.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I got Murphy to watch with me. He normally doesn't.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
I was sucked.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, definitely, not a brand new one.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The Murdoch or Murdoch murders that we watched and tried
to understand and figure out.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
You know, we knew headlines we had never.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
So apparently we have had a message overnight someone else
listening to that after the show podcast.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Never Miss a Call Murphy Salmon Jody twenty four hour voicemail.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Hi, Murphy Salmon Jody, I'm calling you here from I'm
driving through Hampton, South Carolina on my way home to Newford.
So obviously I lived in the area of the Alec
Murdoch myths. I just wanted to say, Uh, First of all,
that boat accident took place really close to my house.
(24:45):
They came by my doc that night and crashed not.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Far after that.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
But so I've always been interested in this. I think
the reason I keep watching these things is that I
was not convinced of his guilt in the murders. I mean,
if I'd been on the jury, I would have probably
hung it, because I mean, I just wasn't. They didn't
convince me. But anyway, I wanted to tell you there
is another podcast out where they interviewed Blanca Simpson. She
(25:15):
was their housekeeper and she has a book coming out.
They did a very long interview with her. It was very,
very interesting and I cannot wait to read her book.
And the person who helped her write it said she
was like, does anybody have a basement weekend hide in
for a while, So that really got me excited to
(25:37):
read this, even though I shouldn't be excited. But anyway,
I'm right there with you. I just can't seem to
stop listening to this stuff because I just feel like
I need more answers.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I think that's why.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Anyway, I love you guys.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I've been listening to.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
You for fifteen years or so, and I was so
excited to hear you talk.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
About this today.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well, thank you so much for leaving that voicemail, and
we appreciate you listening to the podcast that.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Was an after the show podcast from earlier this week.
You know, sometimes we latch onto one specific piece and
for whatever reason, it pokes at you.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
This one, for her is geography.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Well, and in addition, that's what she said unanswered, She's
still not satisfied with the answers, which is what keeps
you coming back for more.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Correct and enjoy that book and let us know what
you take from it. We like hearing about what you
are watching as well and digging into No, you shouldn't
be excited about it, but sometimes we just we latch
onto certain things for certain reasons. Eight seven seven three
one zero four MSJ Yesterday and three Things to Know
we were mentioning about the man who survived twenty days
(26:41):
in the Sierra Mountains.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Oh, yeah, he survived.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
His truck broke down.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
His truck broke down, and we were like, he survived.
He was found eventually twenty days later. And it's like,
so I did some digging, you know, last night about
how because Sam was like, what did he eat?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I guess you had to live off the land when
that happened, and he was in a place with no
cell service.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yes, he didn't just forget to call.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Hold off the phone in the truck.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
His name is Ron Daily, sixty five years old.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
He took a wrong turn during a hunting trip that
was followed by a snowstorm and disabled his truck. So
he stayed in his truck for shelter as long as
he could, but his supplies ran out. He was he
had packed for about two weeks, and he had fourteen
bottles of water, So that lasts longer than you know,
I wouldn't have fourteen bottles of water, So way to go.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
You're a sip and just taking time ice.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, he rationed his supplies until they ran out, and
he survived on water from a stream when he ran
out of the bottles. He survived on a small piece
of jerky and eight or so nuts per day. That's
not much food per day, but he survived on it
before leaving his truck. The decision to leave his truck
(28:01):
he realized after being there, like staying in my truck,
he said in an interview, it's a death sentence. So
he decided the best chance I've got is to move.
His supplies were gone and he had it out. That's
why when he's drinking from the stream and things like that,
and other hunters found.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Him because he was out walking around.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, because he was out of the truck. Not crazy,
right though, where was the phone?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well, I'm saying that he's probably in an area that
didn't have cell service.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
You know, I forgot to read that part.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I mean, it's happened to me and Jody in the
mountains before you know.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
It's just what nothing like that has ever.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Had no cell service. No, I don't mean we survived
off of nuts for days. I mean when you drive
into an area.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
No cell service for like six minutes.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
You're in a smoky mountains. There was something five minutes away.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
And my point is it's very easy to get out
of mobile rain.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
But believe me, when he has no cell service, he
starts his palms.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Starts sweating. He cannot handle it.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Another thing, by the way that he and his wife said,
his wife was glad to have him back.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, it is faith.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He believed that he would if he was supposed to
make it out of there. He believed that he would.
Obvious wanted to share that with you. And I can't
wait for the documentary on it. Don't you want to
see more about how he survives?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, Texter call us eight seven seven three one zero
four MSJ.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
We've got Thanksgiving on the brain, and so do you.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Apparently we had asked online what non traditional Thanksgiving? Ye
things are you looking forward to? Because look, it's not
one size fits all. No two families do it exactly
the same, no wrong way.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
To do it.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Everybody's got a unique tradition.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I love the quirk the quirky traditions, the quirky things
around Thanksgiving. And so Britney said, non traditional for me
is finally slowing down enough from working to enjoy it.
I hope you do enjoy it. Janine says pie for breakfast.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, that is true.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
That's something I don't think about that. We all do.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You have the option to do it the day after
Thanksgiving when they're the refrigerator is just full of leftovers.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
If you're blessed enough to have that situation.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
You can eat what you want like a buffet.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
You can eat what you want, I mean.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
And you're not going to let it go to waste,
you know. I mean that's the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
That's Murphy's stance.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
I mean, days do you get with Murphy?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I mean not many? Well, depends on what it is.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Right. Remember, we spend Thanksgiving it Jody's cousins, so it's
whatever we want to bringing back.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
But honestly, take turkey home.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
A lot of it gets cleaned out before we're gone
for the weekend. Everybody hits it hard. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, Look, we got growing, you know, kids, and they're hungry,
and they go to Renfest and come back and they're
looking forward to what they call the Thanksgiving food.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
We're gonna have Thanksgiving food again, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And the worst kind of green bean cast role is
the kind that isn't eaten, you know, it's left behind.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Shelley says her quirky, non traditional Thanksgiving thing that she
looks forward to the after dinner family football game. It
gets intense.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
We used to do that. It's kids in my grandmother's yard.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
I was once thrown over the opposing line while holding
the ball.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
She says, oh, you sweet thing.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I was like a hospital visit.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
And David said when he looks forward to it's quirky
and different. My famous only to a few people. Famous
BlackBerry and raspberry cheesecake topped with pepper, bacon, pecans and raspberry.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Have a narrow sauce.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
So wow.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
On our Facebook page, he shared a picture. Go look
at it, and David, I knew the food. You would ask,
we would like your recipes. Look, it does sound like
it would work.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Why not as long as it's not a family secret,
go ahead and share it.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
We like having you along.

Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choty Weekend Show podcast, highlighting
some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Morning Picked me up time, so excited to tell you this.
We're going to remind you this of this in December
as well. What kids actually remember from the holidays while
you are stressing over finding that perfect thing or making
sure that perfect dress and all these little details that
you think matter so much. What children actually remember from
the holidays. Let's go down the list for you. Your
(00:29):
family traditions. Oh yeah, that's one Sam years from now
when you're not even here anymore, which is sad to
think about. Your children are are gonna be like, Hey,
you remember when Da used to do chicken finger Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's how it is.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Gott he died and we stopped doing.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
As a kid though, you probably remember sitting in Sanna's
lap and you remember.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
The family traditions.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, whatever you create that you do every year, even
something that you accidentally created, Yeah, that's what they remember.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
That's one thing.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I think that's because you are doing it every year,
I know, because it's over and over and over.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Wow, stick the family connection. Maybe you only get to
hang out with your cousins at Christmas time. That was
my experience growing up, Murphy. You spent the night at
your grandmother's house on Christmas.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, we couldn't wait to pick up.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So family, the connection with loved ones. But the number
one tradition, yess family, if you take a trip, whatever,
the number one is the emotional and the feelings attached
to it. Those experiences, sensory experiences like smells like if
you only make cinnamon you know, rolls on Christmas morning
(01:41):
once in a great while. It's about that for them
when they're little. It's a sensory thing the tree, right,
But the most powerful being emotions, the feeling of safety
and warmth and happiness. Think about a kid who cannot
wait for Santa. That is a a feeling that cannot
(02:02):
be matched any other time of the year, and you'll
struggle to match that feeling the rest of your life.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
It's part of the reason I put up the old
school lights outside the house every year. You know, these
big glass bulbs. Oh yeah, that's what we used to
do before all the tensil lights and the icicles and
all came along.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Throwback.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You're doing that based on feeling.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, and you know The thing is it doesn't have
to be you know, elaborate, because you know you're you
struggle with different things at different times in your life,
and it's not about the stuff. It's just about that experience, right.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
That's what kids remember, and that's to pick me up today.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Social Media connect.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Love having you along.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And we were saying that, you know, we all have
Thanksgiving on the brain. Now we're looking ahead to that
like three weeks away and not holiday will be here.
Alyssa sent us this message to messenger, where are the
brownies that have pecan pie on top? Alissa, You're in luck.
It's one of our favorite newer recipes. I'll say that
(03:01):
in our family favorites holiday recipes at Murphysalmonjody dot com. Okay,
so it's up there for you on the website. It's
something that our my cousin brought into our lives a
couple of years ago at Thanksgiving, Murphy and nothing like
all the other desserts fall away for me, it's you
make a pan of brownies and then you make this
concoction that's pecan pie, like the filling for pecan pie,
(03:24):
and you pour it on top and you let it set.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Set, and it's incredible. So you had heard of it.
That's where it is, Alyssa Murphy Salmonjody dot Com.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, it is a good one. You just have to
be careful about which brownie mix that you use with it,
because if you try to go extra fudgs, you're gonna
turn it into a liquid mess, right.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Because what's on top of it is wet.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Use a regular brownie mix or cake like because that
topping is going to soak into the brownie. The first
year that my cousin Candice made it, it was just.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
A wet mess. We were sitting there eating with a spoon.
Though it was so good.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You cooked the brownies first.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
The brownies person that you put the stuff on top, okay,
Jennifer Speaking of food, Jennifer sent us a picture of somebody.
She said, this is for you, Jody, and it's a
picture of what looks like at first glance of a
gingerbread house. And what she typed though, is move over
gingerbread houses. Charcuterie chalets are here. Have you heard of
these things? It's an entire savory house that you build, Murphy.
(04:24):
I don't really think I want to build one, but
everything on this thing is savory like the sides of
it are those long crispy breadsticks. The top of it,
the roof is like either pepperoni or salami. No, no,
like flaying flat like a roof travel like shingles would be.
The top of it is cheese. But then there's also
(04:45):
some cheese that's dusted like. It looks like it's been
snowed on. The trees outside are like rosemary sprigs, and
the windows of this house stuck to cheese are those
little grid looking pretzel things that you can buy.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It is the cutest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's cute.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Thank you for the idea.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The holidays are coming.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
November is a personal month in our lives, me and
Murphy because.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Let me think about that. Oh yeah, that's right, the
month we got married. It is no, remember the twelfth
is our anniversary?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yes, what day is that on this this month?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
This is Wednesday? I think Tom the twelfth.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
What year? I mean, how many years?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Twenty six is that right?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah? Nineteen ninety nine six.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Well last year was a big anniversary, is why I remember?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, yeah, you know. And the thing is we we're
going to celebrate this weekend because you can't really celebrate,
you know, in the middle of the week dinner. I
guess we could do keep it simple, but this is
kind of a nice little getaway.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
We should make some reservations maybe for next Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Murphy has reservations.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Anyway, I was thinking about it today because you know,
there has been a lot going on lately, sort of
behind the scenes. Murphy has been working day and night lately.
You have a bunch of deadlines. You have a bunch
of projects right just right now that have fallen on you.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, the world's changed a little bit around me, and
so I'm you know, adapting you.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So the last few days on the low, like I'll
say on the low meaning you don't know this sound,
but I haven't seen Murphy a lot, Like we didn't
have our regular lunch together this week.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I have We've had an appointment to do that was work, right, Yeah,
Murphy was available, Like okay, I'll just go pick up
a smoothie. See.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Anyway, I wanted to say, you know, every more than
one day this week, like this is the fourth day
in a row that I or the third day in
a row. I remember, I've called you and said, hey,
is there anything I can do for you.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You know, I'm out running errands. I know you're working.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I know when you get home, I'll see you for
ten minutes for dinner and then you're going to go work.
So is there anything I can do for you and
pick up laundry or pick up snacks or is there
anything I can do? And I just thought, you know,
this is what you do. This is how it's supposed
to be a relationship, a marriage, a relationship. You're supposed
to support each other in the little in the little ways.
(07:10):
That's what it is. Yeah, there are big moments to consider,
but it's it's the day to day little things, me
picking up dinner.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And when you say supporting each other that that's really important.
It's but it's a both ways.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, it does need to be both because that you
have people have that.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, and I do think that we do that because
for each other. Sometimes it's unspoken, sometimes it is spoken.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, but I just you know, you think about these
grand gestures when it comes to marriage and love and
all the big gestures, But honestly, marriage is in the
little things, the little things.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah it is, And it's little actions, right, because that's Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Can I pick up your laundry. You know, can you
do this? Can you make reservations? Can you take me
out of town this weekend? Would you sign a pet
prenup if you thought to do it at the beginning
of a relationship.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I guess you're going to have to explain that.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Actually I shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
A pet prenup means who gets custody of the pet
if there's a breakup.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh, I thought it meant like if the if the
pets wind up splitting up, which pet gets?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
What?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You know, like, of course you know pet's coming to
a relation.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Tell me which lawyer specializes in that.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Hey, someone's making money with that.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
So okay, you know what to do with that. I
know a pet prenup As soon as I heard it.
I knew what it meant.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I would say, if you came into the relationship with
the pet, then it's yours.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
But if you mutually adopted the pet, that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I met a girl a long time ago. Her name
was Rebeca.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
She's married to somebody else now, but she had just
broken up with somebody she had been living with, and
they adopted a dog together, and that dog was her heart.
And she got home and it was a long story.
They broke up because of something that happened at a wedding. Anyway,
(08:59):
when she got back, he had gone and he had
taken the dog, and she was devastated. And it's like
you needed a pet, prenupt. She didn't get that dog
and she loved him and she thought that her ex
took the dog sort of to yeah, hurt herul the
way that you hurt people.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Get it back after they talked or anything. No, man, no,
And if.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
They weren't married, though I don't know that, I guess
you could still have an agreement that if you split up.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Here's what's up.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
In most states, pets are considered you know, they're considered property.
Now in California there are different laws where they're looking
at it, where you know, consider animals the animal's best interest,
and that's in California though that's not everywhere else. So
maybe it's a good idea to sort of set these
things in stone before you get into a serious relationship
(09:46):
about the pets. The question I have for you, Sam,
I've never lost a pet in a relationship. In fact,
the relationship I got out of before I got into
this one with you Murphy. It was like, please take
this cat. Yeah, did you ever lose a a pet
in a relationship?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Sam?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
No pets that I wanted. No, I mean for me,
it came it was like mutually agreed upon. It's like, well,
that's your cat, you take it, or this is your dog,
or you know, it's like Gus. I got Gus when
the last break up, and I was good, she got
another dog.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, Gus was yours.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Unfortunately I got a Boo the cat too.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
But you can't work.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
That's the civil way to handle it, and I guess
some people don't handle it that way.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
The truth of the matter is most pet owners would
do a pet prenup if they could, because you see
your pets as family as your children, right or wrong,
that's how we see them. Walked into a place of
business yesterday and there were Christmas trees up and fully decorated,
and my heart was singing with joy. And then I
(10:49):
got home and we still have Boo on the front door.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You know, b o O.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'm sure a lot of people do.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
J Walmart converted the Gardens Center to Christmas right weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I was walking through Walmart. Was it Sunday or whatever?
A few days ago and they were taking away and
cleaning the shelves of Halloween and putting the Christmas stuff up.
And I was there while it was happening. I mean,
Christmas candy and Christmas candles and things like that were
going on the shelves and I'm like, oh, am, I
the first one to smell the Christmas cookie candle.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
What. It was so exciting, But it made.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Me think, Murphy, I just want you to know, you know,
we have a lot of Christmas stuff and that all
of it means a lot to me and the kids
and the family, and we decorate the house for Christmas
and all that, but it's usually a major chour, you know,
all one one day and we're just Christmas monsters and
everything comes out. My plan is to do it differently
(11:51):
this year. I'm going to do a little out of
time smart right. I've never done it that way, all
or nothing, but to get out like I'm gonna start
this week. If you don't mind Christmas dishes, you know,
the plates and the trays and the glasses with the
trees on them.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, that's it. I thought maybe you meant I was
going to be going back to the closet once a weekend. Yeah,
this weekend. It's this this weekend. It's that I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yeah, well that'd be.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
So bad once a weekend. I mean, it wouldn't be
so bad, So you just but you.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Know what's smart about that? It takes the pressure off.
That's a good approach for anybody, especially since we have
family that stays with us over the holidays. You don't
need to be cramming and burning all that energy.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Correct before then, Now, keep this in mind. You're gonna
your intention is to do.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
That, I know it.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
But watch the thrill of the season. Get tell you.
As soon as you do bring the Christmas plates out,
you're gonna like, well that was quick. Well you know
I should do something else right now? How about the tree?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
But if that happens, that's on me.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah right, I'm trying to make it lighter on myself
and more enjoyable by one thing at a time.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Well, for the very first time since we've ever been married,
I left the floodlights for Christmas outside last year in
their place. Now they've not been turned on, but maybe
them back in Yeah, no kidding, go.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
We learned this week that children under the age of
six ask their parents about forty six questions a day.
That's an average. You've got a chatty Kathy on your
hands is even more.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, that's a lot in one day. It is. If
you're talking in twelve hours, that's almost four questions an hour.
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I love it, though.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I mean, that's a child's job is to learn about
their world, and if you're their number one adult, you
know that's your job is to answer questions as best
you can.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, And I always tried to be patient with that,
as you know, Jody, And most of the time I
was fine unless it became two things at once, like
if I was trying to park the car and I
was being asked a question at the same time.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
The only time you get asked the question right Murphy's
classic most remembered answer, which because we were driving. I
think he was rolling into the drive through, which is
also a whole other added, you know, hurdle for him.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Phoebe was asking Taylor.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Taylor was asking all about the weather, and then she
finally said, how did the meteorologies people know this?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Though?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That was after about five questions, and your answer was
they just know well, But it was more like Taylor.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
They just know.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I know, I felt absolutely not the answer. It doesn't
just come to them naturally, they don't just know.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
But it was that moment I'm like, I'm trying to
make sure I don't hit the car.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That one lives on like as a family joke. Now
they just know is a bad answer. What about you, Sam,
do you remember one?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah? Remember the time I got pulled over for speeding
in the National Park? I do, Sam That Parker was
in the back seat and he asked if I was
gonna if the police officer was going to take me
to jail for that?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh bless him? What did you say?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Do you remember now, Parker? It's just I was going
too fast and I'm gonna have to pay a fine.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Okay, well that's good.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
At least that's a fine. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
One of my most interesting favorite ones was from our
youngest daughter, Phoebe. We were also in the car and
they were asking us a bunch of questions about why
can't we go I want to go to Disney now,
and why can't we do all this? We were together
and I remember we were All of our answers had
to do with money, like we can't do that right now.
We can't afford it right now. And she had heard
that sort of answer for a lot of things she
(15:35):
had been asking, and she finally said.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
The funny thing was.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Her answer or her response. Phoebe said, why does everything
have to be about money?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And I was like, pull the car over. I'd like
to know that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yes, that's right, that's that's philosophy.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
When they're young, about forty six per day and everything
is new to a child, of course they're asking questions.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Do the best you can. Moms and dads.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Social media connect connect.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
With us on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, all the places.
But you can also email us at Murphy Salmon Jody
dot com, which John has done.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
This is for the food. Dude was listening. He was
listening to the podcast about the breakfast burger at Cracker Barrel.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Oh yeah, it's a new breakfast burger at Cracker Barrel.
It's ground beef, it's not sausage beef, patty cheese, and
they have those hash browns from Cracker Barrel on it.
And yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Right, it's a tower. Yeah, it's a burger, but it's
a it's a breakfast burger basically, and Cracker bar that's
a smart thing from them.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Put on the menu.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It is, you eat it, you take your morning nap,
and then you get back up and go to work.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
What do you think of when you think of breakfast burgers.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I think what Sam says, sausage.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
No, I think hangover food. It's been a long time
we did that in Vegas. They had breakfast where we
had burgers for breakfast once in Vegas, long time ago.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Murphy.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, anyway, John said, well, I tried it last week
at a Cracker barrel and let me tell you, this
is one amazing sandwich. Really okay, everything works well together,
especially with the awesome bacon. Oh just make sure that
if you get it like it shows on the menu,
(17:18):
ask for extra napkins.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Oh wow wow.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Now and how the food, dude feels. Given me all
the feels. Love you guys. That's from John.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Thank you, John.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I mean to me, I want to try it for
the hash Browns on that something extra that you don't
usually get on a burger.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I want to try. And it's their hashbrown castrole, which
is really good.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, it's not just Hashprun's's castlerole.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Great.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I could never eat that whole thing. If we get
it out like a bite, split it. We can split
it fine.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I think we might be going to visit visit Uncle
Hersel this week.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Say we got to make him proud?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, Janet said this.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Hey, Murphy, Sam and Jody discovered your show several months ago,
and now you are my show. I enjoy the humor,
the songs. Sam's laugh is awesome. I love your segments
three things to Know the food, dude. I love it
when you talk about your lives and your encounters. Keep
up the fun, and Sam, I can relate on being
(18:11):
divorced and that whole scenario. I've been divorced twice. Life happens,
but happiness continues.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Good.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Well, I got three of those.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
So does happiness continue it?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Sure it does.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It does.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Now that's good.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Look.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Being single and being happy needs to be talked about more.
Keep it coming. Love having you a long.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Jody. You know Murphy was telling us his uplifting, positive
story about a chihuahua that had been lost for five
years and.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, hundreds of miles away and found out happy that
family is.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
But in the middle of him telling us this awesome, wonderful,
uplifting story, you said, Yeah, that's just the opposite of
what happened to me.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Well, I mean I was glad that he was what
happened that story because sometimes, you know, pet stories are painful.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Okay, we had many of them. I would hope would
be happy. You have a shot.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I do have a sad one. I've told you guys
this before.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
And the reason it's a painful memory is not because
of the pet, but because of it was a family situation.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
So when I was a young teenage girl, Yeah, my
mom and dad were having marital problems and I don't
know why, but my dad took our dog Mutt. Remember
I've told you about my dog, Mutt.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
He was a mutt.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I loved him very This is a dog out in
the country, you know, and it was really really cold.
I would let him into the house and I'd get
in trouble for it. I would go outside, and this
dog was a friend to me.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Okay, was he really your dog?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
It was a family dog. He was a family dog.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
My dad brought him home from hunting or something.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
He just wasn't allowed in the house.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
No, which just broke my heart.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
You know, home from hunting. Where did he bring him too.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So I don't know what was going on, and my
mom and dad were splitting up, and it was the
opposite of what we were talking about the prep pet prenups.
It was like, you take Mutt, no, you you keep Mutt,
and it was all this back and forth stuff, and
I'm like, I want Mutt. Anyway, one day I woke
up and went to school and he was Mutt was gone.
And apparently my dad this is the this was the
(20:23):
country way. No no, no, no no, this is not like
all yeller.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
But where is this going?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, the country way. I know where that's going.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
My dad took him, and that's all I knew. He's
not He's gone, and I was so upset, and I
cried and cried and cried.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I'm sure he found another forever family, probably days later,
to a friend he worked at a plant. Maybe give
it to a friend.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I convinced myself that Mutt was gone, gone, And two
days later he showed back up and my dad had
brought him miles away, and I don't know gave him
to a friend or I think he gave him to
a friend, like even deeper into the country, and that
dog found his way back.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
So it's a positive story.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
But it hurts allowed to stay back.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Oh yeah, he stayed until we'll see that's a happy
ending too.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I was really worried about where this.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Was going, especially getting rid of him the countryway.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
It hurt me because it was my dad. That's all Murphy.
I want to talk now about something.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah, it sounds like a fight.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
No, I want to talk now about your order, my order,
what you want to eat next week? Because you're doing
another what do you call the thing the ablacion on your.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Next next week?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah, it's a nerve burn.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And I'm your person, your emergency contact. I bring you
I you know, drive you home, put you to bed,
make sure you don't sign any legal documentary.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I meant to tell you that I listed somebody else
that's in an emergency contest this time.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
What do I have to do?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Have this conversation with Samon said, So.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
What do you usually get when you have these What
do you mean a burger or the way home?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah? I usually I don't remember because they load me
up with versaid for the.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
That's exactly why I want to have this conversation. We've
done this enough times where what happens is on the
way home, you're falling asleep, but you're starving. You're like, hey,
you're cute and you're asleep, and you're like, I'm starving,
and then you're asleep and so and then you insist
on ordering in the app, and so I'm trying to
keep you awake long enough for you to order on
the app. I don't have any fast food apps on
my phone. And so what I want you to do now,
(22:29):
decide what you want to eat after your procedure this time,
show me on the app or I'll put it on
my phone.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
And because I want you to get what you want exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Like, I appreciate that. That's the weird thing with versat
is so you can still function, you just don't remember
anything even though you're loopy. So it really doesn't matter
what I want.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
That's what I'm up.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I'm thinking, what does it matter what he wants? I
care that he has what he wants. Something nasty he
won't remember. Oh but while he he doesn't have to
be nasty. But I could certainly be less picky.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Right, you want a burger, let's swing into KFC.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I love the way you think he's less picky just
because he's high on Verse said she is absolutely the
same person. He's absolutely gonna say, he's gonna comment on
what he's eating.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
That is what's freaky about, you know that. And it's
it's widely used, I think, and a lot of dentists
will use it in procedures too. It's an amnesia drug,
is what. But when you're on it, you're loopy, but
you're absolutely able to function answer questions you're in the moment.
It's really weird because you won't recall it later.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
It's the wrong thing for you.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I would hear about him to just take his phone
from him and say, sure, I'm ordering on the app,
pull up to the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
He won't remember, all right.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
We definitely go deeper every single day in the after
the Show podcast, and we did just the other day
about the true crime saga.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I got Murphy to watch with me. He normally doesn't.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
I was sucked.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, definitely, not a brand new one.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The Murdoch or Murdoch murders that we watched and tried
to understand and figure out.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
You know, we knew headlines we had never.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
So apparently we have had a message overnight someone else
listening to that after the show podcast.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Never Miss a Call Murphy Salmon Jody twenty four hour voicemail.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Hi, Murphy Salmon Jody, I'm calling you here from I'm
driving through Hampton, South Carolina on my way home to Newford.
So obviously I lived in the area of the Alec
Murdoch myths. I just wanted to say, Uh, First of all,
that boat accident took place really close to my house.
(24:45):
They came by my doc that night and crashed not.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Far after that.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
But so I've always been interested in this. I think
the reason I keep watching these things is that I
was not convinced of his guilt in the murders. I mean,
if I'd been on the jury, I would have probably
hung it, because I mean, I just wasn't. They didn't
convince me. But anyway, I wanted to tell you there
is another podcast out where they interviewed Blanca Simpson. She
(25:15):
was their housekeeper and she has a book coming out.
They did a very long interview with her. It was very,
very interesting and I cannot wait to read her book.
And the person who helped her write it said she
was like, does anybody have a basement weekend hide in
for a while, So that really got me excited to
(25:37):
read this, even though I shouldn't be excited. But anyway,
I'm right there with you. I just can't seem to
stop listening to this stuff because I just feel like
I need more answers.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I think that's why.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Anyway, I love you guys.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I've been listening to.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
You for fifteen years or so, and I was so
excited to hear you talk.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
About this today.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well, thank you so much for leaving that voicemail, and
we appreciate you listening to the podcast that.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Was an after the show podcast from earlier this week.
You know, sometimes we latch onto one specific piece and
for whatever reason, it pokes at you.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
This one, for her is geography.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Well, and in addition, that's what she said unanswered, She's
still not satisfied with the answers, which is what keeps
you coming back for more.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Correct and enjoy that book and let us know what
you take from it. We like hearing about what you
are watching as well and digging into No, you shouldn't
be excited about it, but sometimes we just we latch
onto certain things for certain reasons. Eight seven seven three
one zero four MSJ Yesterday and three Things to Know
we were mentioning about the man who survived twenty days
(26:41):
in the Sierra Mountains.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Oh, yeah, he survived.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
His truck broke down.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
His truck broke down, and we were like, he survived.
He was found eventually twenty days later. And it's like,
so I did some digging, you know, last night about
how because Sam was like, what did he eat?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I guess you had to live off the land when
that happened, and he was in a place with no
cell service.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yes, he didn't just forget to call.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Hold off the phone in the truck.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
His name is Ron Daily, sixty five years old.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
He took a wrong turn during a hunting trip that
was followed by a snowstorm and disabled his truck. So
he stayed in his truck for shelter as long as
he could, but his supplies ran out. He was he
had packed for about two weeks, and he had fourteen
bottles of water, So that lasts longer than you know,
I wouldn't have fourteen bottles of water, So way to go.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
You're a sip and just taking time ice.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, he rationed his supplies until they ran out, and
he survived on water from a stream when he ran
out of the bottles. He survived on a small piece
of jerky and eight or so nuts per day. That's
not much food per day, but he survived on it
before leaving his truck. The decision to leave his truck
(28:01):
he realized after being there, like staying in my truck,
he said in an interview, it's a death sentence. So
he decided the best chance I've got is to move.
His supplies were gone and he had it out. That's
why when he's drinking from the stream and things like that,
and other hunters found.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Him because he was out walking around.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, because he was out of the truck. Not crazy,
right though, where was the phone?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well, I'm saying that he's probably in an area that
didn't have cell service.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
You know, I forgot to read that part.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I mean, it's happened to me and Jody in the
mountains before you know.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
It's just what nothing like that has ever.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Had no cell service. No, I don't mean we survived
off of nuts for days. I mean when you drive
into an area.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
No cell service for like six minutes.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
You're in a smoky mountains. There was something five minutes away.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
And my point is it's very easy to get out
of mobile rain.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
But believe me, when he has no cell service, he
starts his palms.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Starts sweating. He cannot handle it.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Another thing, by the way that he and his wife said,
his wife was glad to have him back.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, it is faith.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He believed that he would if he was supposed to
make it out of there. He believed that he would.
Obvious wanted to share that with you. And I can't
wait for the documentary on it. Don't you want to
see more about how he survives?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, Texter call us eight seven seven three one zero

Speaker 3 (29:28):
We've got Thanksgiving on the brain, and so do you.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Apparently we had asked online what non traditional Thanksgiving? Ye
things are you looking forward to? Because look, it's not
one size fits all. No two families do it exactly
the same, no wrong way.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
To do it.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Everybody's got a unique tradition.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I love the quirk the quirky traditions, the quirky things
around Thanksgiving. And so Britney said, non traditional for me
is finally slowing down enough from working to enjoy it.
I hope you do enjoy it. Janine says pie for breakfast.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, that is true.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
That's something I don't think about that. We all do.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You have the option to do it the day after
Thanksgiving when they're the refrigerator is just full of leftovers.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
If you're blessed enough to have that situation.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
You can eat what you want like a buffet.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
You can eat what you want, I mean.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
And you're not going to let it go to waste,
you know. I mean that's the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
That's Murphy's stance.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
I mean, days do you get with Murphy?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I mean not many? Well, depends on what it is.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Right. Remember, we spend Thanksgiving it Jody's cousins, so it's
whatever we want to bringing back.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
But honestly, take turkey home.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
A lot of it gets cleaned out before we're gone
for the weekend. Everybody hits it hard. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, Look, we got growing, you know, kids, and they're hungry,
and they go to Renfest and come back and they're
looking forward to what they call the Thanksgiving food.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
We're gonna have Thanksgiving food again, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And the worst kind of green bean cast role is
the kind that isn't eaten, you know, it's left behind.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Shelley says her quirky, non traditional Thanksgiving thing that she
looks forward to the after dinner family football game. It
gets intense.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
We used to do that. It's kids in my grandmother's yard.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
I was once thrown over the opposing line while holding
the ball.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
She says, oh, you sweet thing.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I was like a hospital visit.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
And David said when he looks forward to it's quirky
and different. My famous only to a few people. Famous
BlackBerry and raspberry cheesecake topped with pepper, bacon, pecans and raspberry.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Have a narrow sauce.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
So wow.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
On our Facebook page, he shared a picture. Go look
at it, and David, I knew the food. You would ask,
we would like your recipes. Look, it does sound like
it would work.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Why not as long as it's not a family secret,
go ahead and share it.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
We like having you along.
