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):
Murphy, I want you to brace yourself. Sam has told me,
and he's ready to tell everybody that he is ready.
He's ready for something that's filling my heart with joy.
I was waiting for you to say.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
This another girlfriend. I knew it.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I knew it.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
No, uh no, it's another pet.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah. Really, I don't have a dog. I haven't picked
a dog out. Okay, Just so for anybody who doesn't remember,
I had Gus for like thirteen years, you did. He
passed away last year, last June.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
So it's been a long time.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, it has. My mom, Miss Judy, usually whenever I
talked to her, it's like, get a dog yet, a dog?
A dog yet? Why are you waiting, Sammy? You need
a dog and I needed a breathere. I needed to
let Gus go.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
And I've been now looking, you know, because a lot
of the rescues put stuff on Facebook, so I've been
bing track of those lately, like okay, and because it
hit me it's like, okay, if you're looking at dogs again.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
You must be ready.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You must be ready.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah, are you? I'm so excited about that for you.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Are you going to make sure that this dog is
cat friendly since you do still have a cat a boo.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
If he is, that's great. If he or she is,
that's great. I mean if the cat has to you know.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
A boo doesn't quite fill the void. Huh.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
A boo knows how to stay out of the way.
So I'm not really.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Worried to make sure it's a dog that doesn't go
after that cat.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
See and the stuff I've seen, you know, I've been
following on Facebook. It's always great with kids, they're it's broken,
they're great with other pets.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Rescues are good at knowing that they get all those
tests and shelters and.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, you just don't really know until you put them together.
I can't imagine, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah. So, and besides, if I spend money adopting this dog,
you know there's a financial investment the cat.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Zero.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Okay, that's not true.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Everybody's in I'm just being funny. Everybody's going to get
along just fine, you know, when ever it comes.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I think it's so awesome. I mean, I know you
have to do it in your own time, but of course,
Jody and our dog fanatics. I can't imagine not having one.
It's actually good for us when we have the pack
rolling because we always replace one. It's not I don't
know that I want the void. I don't you know
that it's a personal thing. But everybody's different, right, But
but it's just your mom is so wise. How old
(02:23):
is your mom?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Eighty six?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Okay, so at eighty six she understands the companionship part
of it is really beneficial.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
She relies on that.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, yeah, you know, you ain't got a girlfriend. And
by the way, I am dog sitting my son Sammy's
dog this weekend. Jango, are you going to keep him?
You know, I've even thought of that, like, hey, if
you ever tired of Django?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
No, you need your own going on, I get along great.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I think that you need your own the most uncomplicated
relationship of your life. And I can't we can't wait
to hear how the search goes. Yeah, we have the
coolest message from Gabriella your name, by the way, that's
a beautiful name, sent to Facebook Messenger, and I'm going
to read it to you because we do read and
see everything that you send.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Hi guys.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Hey, Hi, Gabriella.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I hope you're having a wonderful week. I just wanted
to write and let you know that I love the show.
I've been listening to your show since maybe twenty seventeen
when I first first moved to the United States as
an exchange teacher.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay cool.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
At that time I was teaching in North Carolina. That
I moved to Texas. For four years, I kept listening
through the podcast. Now I have a unique opportunity to
teach in Thailand, and guess what, I'm guess what, I'm
still listening to you guys on the podcast. Thanks for
your awesome show and all the adventures you share with
listeners every day.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
PS Jody, My brother flew from Dallas to Sydney last weekend,
and guess who was on the flight with him?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Although he thinks she is not very beautiful, he admitted
she is a woman to admire. Have a great day,
and I think she's beautiful. Gabrielle and the guys just
want to know what can we talk to your brother
or what?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Anyway, isn't that lovely?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
That's beautiful? And I appreciate listening to the podcast because yeah,
Orientenna doesn't reach that far on the radio.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, that's why they call it the world why web,
and thank.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
You for having it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
You can listen to just anything anywhere, and we love
you taking us along.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
It means the world, it does.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I ask, because you know she's traveling and like, well,
I'll ask what do you teach? And on Facebook Messenger
we were having conversation. She says, I'm originally from Venezuela
and went to the US as a bilingual Spanish and
English elementary teacher, mostly third grade, same in Texas. Now
I'm teaching English third grade as well in an international
(04:51):
school in Thailand.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
That's amazing. What a crazy cool experience.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
For now you get to teach.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
You obviously love it. You obviously we are meant to teach.
It's a special age. Language is beautiful, and you're getting
to see the world an exchange teacher.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
We don't hear about as much change students we do.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Even though you left the country, you still get to
enjoy Murphy, Sam and Jody.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, thank you for that. You can catch up on
the podcast anytime. There's also after the show every day too.
We'll be looking for you, Gabriella.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
How to tell if you're.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Being love bombed too soon in a relationship? And this title,
I mean everything has a cuty title lately love bombing.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
You know what it means? Do you do?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It just means being over the top too soon, maybe
inappropriately soon with some things.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yes, it kind of explains itself.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
It does.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Okay, have you ever been in a love bombing situation
that you can remember?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I have not been bombed, nor have I bombed?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Oh good? Your pace is always on point, Sam.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's almost like there are two aspects to that. One
is trying too hard and the other is being inappropriately
soon with things. Oh yes, yes, So like for me
and you, Jody, when we were first together, I don't
think I love bombed you did.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I absolutely not. It was a very natural, steady, but
very real.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You couldn't have love Bombing is also forcing something when
you want somebody really wants that badly and is sort
of forcing it is what Also love bombing is Everything
that happened between you and I was just very natural
and it was it was a slow build.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
It was a friendship first, And they.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Say that that's what's that real whatever love, it builds
slowly because.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You didn't love bomb him, did you.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Oh, no, no, she didn't love bomb me at all.
Everything just kind of grew gradually to the point where
A Jody was actually a little frustrated that I didn't
initially formally a proposed for marriage. That it just kind
of evolved. Honestly, I don't mean to sound stupid, but
our relationship evolved at the place where it was natural.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Getting married, and so there was never a propose anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I think I've made up for that since.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But but the other things I can remember when you know,
when I was younger, I brought a girlfriend to Christmas,
probably too soon.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
She didn't know me at all.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
It was yes, it literally was the first date. That's
just not I went out. You could see it make
the family uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's not good. I went out with a guy a
long time ago. I probably never even told you about him,
because I went out with him one time. At the
end of the date, you know what he said, what
I think, I'm falling in love with you.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
It was a military guy, a pilot.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
And anyway, I didn't go back. I know, so my
family said the same, but I was like, no, too much.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Too soon, so too much too soon to you know,
pushing feelings that aren't really there, and control disguised as
care or can be love bombing right, so much look
out for that.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
It's a red flag. I can't stop thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What Sam, Since you said you're ready again to watch
that special person into your life, that's special someone being
a dog.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You're ready to adopt another.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Dog you're walking down is actually at the shelter?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I've had my time to grieve
over Gus and it's time to move on. I need
a buddy around the house. Besides, that's stupid cat.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Okay, the cat's not stupid, but anyway, he doesn't know it.
What I want to know is are you looking for
a certain type or rescue?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Rescue? It's going to be rescue. But as much as
I've told you in the past that I love my
son's dog, Jango, he's quirky, really quirky, but his behavior
is just to me perfect for a buddy. Okay, So
I'm thinking.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Temperament is more important to you.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, temperate personality also size. I'm not looking for a
monster dog again. I want something that's medium sized. Chihuahua
is probably too small on the smaller in for me.
I'm just looking for a little dog and little buddy, Yeah,
little buddy who this time, I'm going to do it
right too. I'm going to train him good, you know
from us.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Oh you're going to create train then that way you.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Can well yeah, but that's not even train as in sit, stay, run,
catch a frisbee, do.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Something, Oh, okay, because gus really yeah, well that's a
one off because you never know what a dog is
going to do, especially by the time they've established their patterns. Yeah,
you can throw balls all day and.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
So okay, the frisbee slash ball is extra. But you
know I want, I want if I say sit, if
I say calm, if I say do this and do that,
I like him the basic command.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
That's your plan.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
But you know, sometimes you need to know this and
we've talked about this before and you know this, but
the dog that you meet at the shelter or the
dog that you spend some time without a shelter is
still a dog at a shelter. It takes them some
time to adjust to life in a home. So you
will need to be if there are certain expectations you have,
then you need to behave accordingly from the time you
get home with that dog. If you do want to
(09:54):
ever be able to create him or her when there's
a thunderstorm or then you need to start creat make
their create a happy, happy place.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's the whole thing. Crazy. As humans, we think a
crate looks like jail, but it's their safe space. Yeah,
and if you create train, you're gonna have better success
in all the other areas because they follow your lead.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I have a whole list of rules that I'm gonna
go over with the dog.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Ahead and about the things he won't be eating in
the backyard.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And you're not looking for a certain breathe then just
a certain personality.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
What are your feelings rolling in about these date night ideas?
You know we had said I had said that I
would love it if you, Murphy would just surprise me. Hey,
we have reservations, put on a dress, let's go. And
I do think that a lot of women would feel
that way. And you are jumping in on this. Candy
says on our Instagram and Facebook pages. A man should
(10:50):
surprise his wife with a fun or simple date at
least once a month. Nora said, I miss the days
when my husband would surprise me with date nights.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Says same what she said Alicia.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I don't have a partner at this time, but I
would love it if he took charge and made all
the plans, given the fact that as a mom and wife,
we take care of everything else every day and hardly
have any time to think about anything else, never mind
planning a date for you to show me how much
I mean to you lol. Shelley says, spontaneity can be
(11:26):
very fun. Sometimes things can be planned, sure, but spontaneity
is very fun all caps.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah. You know, even if you don't have a partner
right now, if you have a bestia, you could probably
make an arrangement with each other say okay, look here's
the deal, at least once every couple of months. Yeah,
you surprised me with something, and I'll surprise you with some.
I guess that I don't have to be in an
active relationships.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I guess this conversation is about date nights, though, and
I don't. I do think that there are a lot
of men who don't realize that. But think about this
if you are in a marriage, you have a partner
who is handling.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Look.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Look, women are really good at handling everything like the milk,
know when the kids need to beware it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I agree with that.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
It's something that you just as a mom especially, you
don't turn.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
That off better than AI.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
You don't ever turn that off. You can't.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But and so it seems like you can relax because
she's got it. But I promise you she would like
to relax and to let somebody else take care of
something like that.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
So, yeah, you know what, as much as I did
stuff like that for my three x spouses, I never
thought about doing that. I mean I did other nice
little things, but I never thought about arranging the date night, and.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
I god, it would. Honestly, it's a turn on for
a man. Women love men who take charge and that
does not mean mean or bossy. It means good.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Ministic you can relax, you know, relax, Maybe I got
this and you just get to be the girl again,
not the person in charge of so much.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, I mean sometimes it's as simple as let's get
in the car and go. Honestly, I mean, even if
you don't have a plan, I think anything like that
that starts.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It's a surprise having a plan.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I think that makes you feel extra special as a woman. Anyway,
keep it coming. We love hearing from you, ladies, and
you can also call us eight seven seven three one
zero four MSJ Social Media Connect.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Let's hear from you. This is your show, this is
your place.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Got an email for Murphy Samon Jody dot com for
you Jody from Jane. Hey, Jane, Jane said, I heard
Jody say that she's unable to have chocolate. I am
an unable to have chocolate as well. Oh how does
Jody handle it?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Jane? That's so sad to me. Is there anything else
in that either.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
There's more.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I have a lot of people come to me and
say they could not live if they could not have chocolate.
So just wondering if Jody has the same issue. Does
she say that it's did it's allergy or sit now
you can't have it? No reason, I just can't have it.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
The truth of the matter is I can have chocolate now, Jane.
I was told I couldn't have it when I was
a child. My pediatrician told my mother in front of
my she can't have chocolate, cheese, or peanut.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But and he was probably smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, he was in.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
One fatal day when I was a child, and I
remember my mom and whole family took that so seriously
that they would when I would go to my grandma's house.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
They would put peanut out of my reach and things
like that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
And so yeah, I had Twinkies instead of ding Dongs
when I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
It made me want chocolate more as a child.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I'm not a pediatrician. But what did he base this on?
Did he do tests?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
From what I remember, I couldn't stop coughing. Oh, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I know.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
No test, No, he was He just.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Three put down in cigarette and made the So what.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
How did I handle it?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Jane?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I snuck. I snuck food. A very unhealthy relationship with
food began.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Fortunately though you weren't really allergic. Otherwise it would have
been a problem. It would have made you.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Know, when I stay with my grandmother, I would steal
those individually wrapped cheese craft cheese slices and I would
hide them in the room I was sleeping in and
eat one later by myself, Like so.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Such a bad I just picture that Jody's brother Jimmy
and her and her grandmother walking up, He goes, Jimmy,
here's a handful of her she's kisses and Jody, here's
some celery.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
So here's your zero candy. Because they thought white chocolate
wasn't chocolate.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
You didn't tell them like, hey, I've been experimenting with
cheese and chocolate and we're good.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Oh I wasn't that savvy, Are you kidding? Plus I
would have to admit that I had lied.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
They never noticed you smelled like peanut butter.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I obviously didn't handle it, but I'm all love to you. Jane.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Maybe test it out with your doctor. Shopping backwards is
the term. It's the trend. I'll tell you what it
may think sound new because of grocery prices, but I
guarantee you my grandmother did it. We touched on this
in Three Things to Know the other day. Shopping backwards
simply means, not, like what you guessed, Sam.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Start at the other end of the store.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
It does not have.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Anything to do with the way you. In fact, you
should hit a store the way you're used to hitting it.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I always do well, And if it's the first time
you're visiting, it's impossible to shop backwards that way because
you don't know what which is.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
What kills me is when it's a national chain and
one of them is laid out differently than that.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That is, I know they're design differently. Just when you
think you've mastered Walmart.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
This store that I used to grocery shop at years ago,
they would change the store around that specific location every
now and then. Why so it's like I had assistance
and all of a sudden, Okay, where are the cookies?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Was probably a retail research reason probably for them doing that. No,
shopping backwards is starting at home, looking at your fridge,
your pantry, even your freezer, looking at what you already have,
so you know what you have to work with when
you go to the store.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Then you shop to build on that.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
No, that makes sense, and then you also want to
be redundant. I've done that before. It's like, I'm pretty
sure we'ret a Mayo. No we're not. There's are two
in the pantry.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Correct, everybody's done that too. It's you know, it just
makes a lot of sense. We talked about that when
but before I took you clothes shopping the other day, Murphy.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
It's like, let's look at what you have already, so
we know what.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
We actually need, you know, so we don't end up
with five gray sweaters. But it just makes sense because groceries,
grocery prices, it's a thing. It's not going down. But
you do already have stuff. If you're if you're not
seeing how many times you open the pantry, you don't
see it anymore exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Well the other thing is at some point you are
going to have to replenish your pantry. If that's the
only way you shop.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Oh yeah, it helps you clear it out. So shopping
backwards is the term I feel like. Also, it's a
skill set. It is that you have to practice. You
have to make yourself do it. There are people who
can open up pantry and go, I can make this
with that. All I need is to add tomato sauce.
And then there are people who can't do that. So
start practicing.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
And nine times out of ten, it's on the way
home where you realize, oh wait, I need to stop
with the story. So you're not gonna have time to
shot backwards. You're gonna shot forwards. Judy's Top five entertainment
stories of the Week, Number five.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
The Stranger Things Broadway show is headed to Netflix. It's
called The First Shadow.
Speaker 2 (18:18):

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Really interesting to see how they developed this out for
the stage.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Well, they've they've done stage productions into you know, on
streaming services before.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Probably a better ending this series.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:57):

It's the story of a deadly power struggle after a
billionaire transfers control of his big business, private military business,
all of it to his bodyguard played by Nick Jonas.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
That sounds great.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Are the other Jonas brothers in it?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I don't. It's not that no stand alone, just Nick.
The action star.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Britney Spears sells her catalog to the company Primary Wave. Now,
the troubling or weird thing here is that she didn't
write most of her biggest hits, So what is she getting.
She's actually getting performance rights and they think that's a
big payday for them, and it's sure.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's not troubling. She still gets two hundred million dollars
for the time.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
The word is that she netted a low nine figures
for this to do that math Number one, the Steamy
Weathering Heights movie is here at the box office.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I want to wait for it.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Margo, Robbie and Jacob and Lord A taking this classic
Emily Bronte piece of literature and steaming it up. It's
very artsy, hotter than you remember reading it. Okay, some
of the critics are calling it bodice ripping fun you know, filth.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
It's very steamy.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Rted are two hours sixteen minutes long, and they do
expect the heavy Victorian dresses to come back into style
because of the way Margo rocks them.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Jody's top five entertainment stories of the week.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
If you ever reach out to us and ask a question,
I want you to know we remember you, and sometimes
I can't get you off my mind, and that's because
I want to address this. Jane had emailed the show
like yesterday and Sam, you read this email where she
was asking, Hey, Jody, I understand you can't have chocolate.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I can't either. How do you deal? And I think we.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Answered with these haha, funny stories of the fact that
I couldn't when I was a child.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, when you were a child. You can have it now.
But and you know that we've poked fun of that
over the years. You've laughed at it over the years
because the doctor misdiagnosed you completely.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
But so the truth of the matter is I can
have chocolate. I could then, we just didn't know that.
And so You've been on my mind, Jane, because we
I feel like I did not answer you, and so
I've been thinking about you, and I just wanted to
say the only advice I could say is like, I've
never heard of anybody not being allowed to have chocolate,
(21:59):
not being able to have childocolate. But if it were me,
of course, I'm sure you've explored all the substitute options.
You guys are where they're You're aware there's a substitute
for chocolate.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I know they have Carolan based chocolate now too.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Right, and so you would have to talk to your
doctor about that, but it'll send you on a journey
of tasting different things.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well, there actually are some candy bars that are coated
in carab. Anyway, I think butterfinger doesn't really have real
chocolate in it. What really I think it is. I
think that. I mean, look, I could be wrong. If
you've got an allergy, double check me on that, but
I'm almost positive it's coated in carab, not chocolate.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
You know, years ago I had those years Yeah, not
because of an allergy, but because when I worked at
the health club years ago. This you know, guy was
one of our bosses, was very careful about everything he
put in his body, and he had that instead of chocolate.
He was going when he try some, Jody, and of
course I was like, this is not chocolate, chocolate ish.
(22:53):
It tastes nutty. It's a rich, velvety, nutty taste. It's
not quite as rich as chocolate, but it is the
closest use.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Your teeth to strip off the top of a butterfinger.
And that's what it takes to.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Say, Jane, is this when you are told you can't.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Have something, or when you self restrict, let's just say
you're on some sort of diet, the best thing to
do is focus on what you can have, not what
you can't.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
You're not gonna be able to focus on chocolate.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I'll never be happy.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
No, you can.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Focus on hopefully you can have peanut butter. Hopefully you
can have nut butters or other things that would bring
you some sort of velvety, decadent feeling. Because chocolate is
supposed to be consumed in small amounts anyway, as a
special treat.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Anyway, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I'm wrong about butterfinger. Homemade butter fingers. Apparently I got
time for that.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Anyway, That's what I wanted you to know, Jane, because
you've been on my mind. Murphy is back to an
iPhone after years with Android. It's his new girlfriend. It's
all he ever does anymore. He never comes to bed now.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
He's all in.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
He's got the Apple.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Watch and the air pod at all this stuff going on.
But the funniest thing about you, you know, talking all
this tech here at work. The producer Faith also just asked, wait,
you have two phones because you were telling Sam about
trying to switch the number over, and she's like, why
do you have two phones?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Walter White, Well, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I'm gonna tell you Thank god I did have two
phones because I had an error switching it where I'm
almost lost all contact.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
It's an honest mistake, and the customer service rep texted
me and apologized profusely for just an accidental oversight. So
if I didn't have the second phone, I really would
have been messed up in trying to transfer all this
stuff over. But yeah, no, we have, you know, our
original home phone number. It just was a cool phone number.
And when we started to port everything in different places.
It's like, well and keep that number.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
You know number.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, so we have that old old phone number that
has that cute little ring to it.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
And I have a habit still.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
You know. I mean, I'm just one of those you
know how, I'm Sam, you know me. Some people call
it extra. I just say it's a backup everything. And
my life has a backup. And for good reason. I'm
gonna tell you, because when you don't think you need
the backup, until you need the backup. Yeah, and that's
exactly what I have. You have your old home phone
phone number hook to a different.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
A different cell he has about.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah, you don't have a phone landline anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
No, I haven't had a landline yet.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
No, but we wanted to keep that landline machine here.
I ever needed an extra backup phone, we would have it.
It's kind of and it's just attached to whatever account,
but it's attached to your account that you were switching
from Android to iPhone. Which was funny because the other
person who's on that account is our youngest daughter, Phoebe.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
And so the other night she was at.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Her twenty first birthday party with all of her friends
and it was a party okay. They were enjoying the
spoils of being twenty one.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
And I didn't realize that because I was trying to
call her because the little arrow I was telling you
about where I lost contact. She was the only one
that could approve the changes needed on my phone at
that point, and she's part yes.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
She did not call him back.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
She texted him and then later she told me I
had my friend out on the balcony helping me respond
to this to make sure that I made sense, to
make sure it wasn't a scam from my.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, she thought it was a scam because I was
t I had Typo's Galore in there. I was in
a panic, you know, and she's like that, are you okay?
But it was her friend that actually told her to type, Dad, are.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
You It's Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
We are here for it for you, So before we
get started, it is a grateful Friday. Also, I want
to teach you a mammogram trick that I learned this week. Murphy,
I told you about my mammogram earlier. I told everybody
I had a mammogram this week. It's the appointment sort
of snuck up on me and it's like, Oh, you
have this big appointment where I got my bone scan
and my female visit and all of that. And I
(26:50):
didn't know I was having a mammogram. So what did
I do that morning?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Lots of coffee.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
It's a coffee, a caffee.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I rolled in there putting the gown on, drinking a
doctor Pepper zero and I'm like, oh wait, I'm about
to have a mammogram. And one of the best things
I ever heard from my friend who was a mimography tech,
stop caffeine the morning of, like hours before, because it
causes your breast tissue to be more sensitive. Okay, and
(27:19):
so I usually do that trick. I didn't do that,
but she also my friend Lisa, who's taught me a
lot about it. I like to try to share this here,
has also explained to me. I asked one time we're
sitting over coffee, I'm like, why do they have to
press down so flat? Why is it such a intrusive
so so much compression? And she explained it in a
(27:41):
way that I want to share with you because I
use this mind trick this time while I was being.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Compressed, look at mine trick.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Well, she explained that it's because the compression is important
because they don't want to miss anything. They want to
get the best image they possibly can. If they don't
compress it and get that best as much image as
they can as much of that tissue, the doctor might
miss something that's actually there.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Something could be hiding behind something else.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
The more dense your breasts are, the more difficult to see. Also,
so I believe that visualization is important, you know, I
said that recently. Whenever you drink water, imagine your organ's
getting the.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Water, so it helps you. Just a visualization is a
thing to me.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
So while I was getting my mammogram with all the
caffeine in my system, and yeah, it was I felt
it more. It was a more uncomfortable mammogram. But it's
only a few seconds that you're compressed like that. I
remember thinking, this is.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
A good image.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
This feels this way because this is a good clear image.
It's a visualization trick. I'm just throwing it out there.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
That's really smart.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
When something like that, you know you're having a test
that's a bit uncomfortable, Realize there's a reason that it's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
How many seconds are they having to hold it like that?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
It feels it probably feels like it's forever.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It feels like thirty seconds to a minute. It's probably
thirty seconds or less. Okay, But by the way, I
got my results the very next day, perfectly good and
clean mammogram.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
So grateful for that.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
How to get a good night's sleep even when you're
away from home, Murphy, You need to know this with
all of your travel and whatnot. Yeah, I don't usually
sleep well away from home.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Should I share my secret?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I want it, But some of these secrets are coming
from experts and olympians who are sleeping away from home
right now.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Maybe why I'm the same secret.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Right Murph, let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I bring my own blanket.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yes, magic, he brings his magic sleeping blankety blanket.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I called him my magic sleeping It's the ug one
that Jody gave me a couple of years ago, and
so it works as padding you know, in the in
the suitcase for equipment. But for some reason, I sleep
better under it. And yes, I'm a grown adult.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
What's so funny is the backstore You don't know this.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I have looked and look to look for an UG
travel blanket and they don't sell them. It doesn't exist. Yeah,
it would just be me buying you another ug for travel.
It's not the same thing.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
So now it has to go in the bigger suitcase
for the rest of.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
The blanket anyway. But that's one of the things.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
When you're sleeping somewhere else, make it your own as
much as you can. So bring your own pillow, bring
your own blanket, bring your comforts. If you sleep with
a mask, do it. If you sleep with rain sounds
or ocean sounds, bring that. Make it your own as
much as you can.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Okay, sometimes I like the pillows better at the hotel though, Oh.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, No.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Make sure your evening routine, even in a hotel or
wherever you're staying airbnb, is calm, warm, shower, calming music,
breathing exercises. Steer clear of too many screens and anything
exciting on.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
You know, don't watch an exciting movie.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
The other thing is wake up at your consistent time,
whatever time you normally wake up.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Do that because it helps you. It helps your whole rhythm.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
That makes sense. I guess that's easy as long as
you haven't completely changed time zones. Oh yeah, I wonder
what The advice is on that because your your circadian
rhythm is different.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
If you do that, your body knows. The clock can
say one thing, but your body knows, oh and you're timing. Sorry,
Sam made a little five. The other thing is don't
obsess over your sleep. Don't even though we're talking about that, don't.
If you have a gadget that's tracking your sleep, don't
(31:25):
obsess over it because it just let it go. One
not so great night's sleep is not going to ruin you.
You can recover from one rough night.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Not always easy to roll with it, but sometimes, you know,
takes the stressful part of.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
You know, when you're laying there.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
This is when you're at home too, When you're laying
there and you can't go to sleep, they do say
a trick is to get up, do something, go get
some water or whatever, then start the go back to
bed again. Don't just lay there obsessing like, start the
routine over again in a short, many sort of way
makes sense
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choty Weekend Show podcast, highlighting
some of our favorite moments from this past week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Murphy, I want you to brace yourself. Sam has told me,
and he's ready to tell everybody that he is ready.
He's ready for something that's filling my heart with joy.
I was waiting for you to say.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
This another girlfriend. I knew it.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I knew it.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
No, uh no, it's another pet.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah. Really, I don't have a dog. I haven't picked
a dog out. Okay, Just so for anybody who doesn't remember,
I had Gus for like thirteen years, you did. He
passed away last year, last June.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
So it's been a long time.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, it has. My mom, Miss Judy, usually whenever I
talked to her, it's like, get a dog yet, a dog?
A dog yet? Why are you waiting, Sammy? You need
a dog and I needed a breathere. I needed to
let Gus go.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
And I've been now looking, you know, because a lot
of the rescues put stuff on Facebook, so I've been
bing track of those lately, like okay, and because it
hit me it's like, okay, if you're looking at dogs again.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
You must be ready.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You must be ready.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah, are you? I'm so excited about that for you.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Are you going to make sure that this dog is
cat friendly since you do still have a cat a boo.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
If he is, that's great. If he or she is,
that's great. I mean if the cat has to you know.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
A boo doesn't quite fill the void. Huh.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
A boo knows how to stay out of the way.
So I'm not really.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Worried to make sure it's a dog that doesn't go
after that cat.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
See and the stuff I've seen, you know, I've been
following on Facebook. It's always great with kids, they're it's broken,
they're great with other pets.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Rescues are good at knowing that they get all those
tests and shelters and.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, you just don't really know until you put them together.
I can't imagine, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah. So, and besides, if I spend money adopting this dog,
you know there's a financial investment the cat.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Zero.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Okay, that's not true.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Everybody's in I'm just being funny. Everybody's going to get
along just fine, you know, when ever it comes.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I think it's so awesome. I mean, I know you
have to do it in your own time, but of course,
Jody and our dog fanatics. I can't imagine not having one.
It's actually good for us when we have the pack
rolling because we always replace one. It's not I don't
know that I want the void. I don't you know
that it's a personal thing. But everybody's different, right, But
but it's just your mom is so wise. How old
(02:23):
is your mom?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Eighty six?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Okay, so at eighty six she understands the companionship part
of it is really beneficial.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
She relies on that.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, yeah, you know, you ain't got a girlfriend. And
by the way, I am dog sitting my son Sammy's
dog this weekend. Jango, are you going to keep him?
You know, I've even thought of that, like, hey, if
you ever tired of Django?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
No, you need your own going on, I get along great.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I think that you need your own the most uncomplicated
relationship of your life. And I can't we can't wait
to hear how the search goes. Yeah, we have the
coolest message from Gabriella your name, by the way, that's
a beautiful name, sent to Facebook Messenger, and I'm going
to read it to you because we do read and
see everything that you send.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Hi guys.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Hey, Hi, Gabriella.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I hope you're having a wonderful week. I just wanted
to write and let you know that I love the show.
I've been listening to your show since maybe twenty seventeen
when I first first moved to the United States as
an exchange teacher.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay cool.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
At that time I was teaching in North Carolina. That
I moved to Texas. For four years, I kept listening
through the podcast. Now I have a unique opportunity to
teach in Thailand, and guess what, I'm guess what, I'm
still listening to you guys on the podcast. Thanks for
your awesome show and all the adventures you share with
listeners every day.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
PS Jody, My brother flew from Dallas to Sydney last weekend,
and guess who was on the flight with him?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Although he thinks she is not very beautiful, he admitted
she is a woman to admire. Have a great day,
and I think she's beautiful. Gabrielle and the guys just
want to know what can we talk to your brother
or what?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Anyway, isn't that lovely?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
That's beautiful? And I appreciate listening to the podcast because yeah,
Orientenna doesn't reach that far on the radio.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, that's why they call it the world why web,
and thank.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
You for having it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
You can listen to just anything anywhere, and we love
you taking us along.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
It means the world, it does.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I ask, because you know she's traveling and like, well,
I'll ask what do you teach? And on Facebook Messenger
we were having conversation. She says, I'm originally from Venezuela
and went to the US as a bilingual Spanish and
English elementary teacher, mostly third grade, same in Texas. Now
I'm teaching English third grade as well in an international
(04:51):
school in Thailand.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
That's amazing. What a crazy cool experience.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
For now you get to teach.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
You obviously love it. You obviously we are meant to teach.
It's a special age. Language is beautiful, and you're getting
to see the world an exchange teacher.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
We don't hear about as much change students we do.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Even though you left the country, you still get to
enjoy Murphy, Sam and Jody.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, thank you for that. You can catch up on
the podcast anytime. There's also after the show every day too.
We'll be looking for you, Gabriella.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
How to tell if you're.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Being love bombed too soon in a relationship? And this title,
I mean everything has a cuty title lately love bombing.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
You know what it means? Do you do?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It just means being over the top too soon, maybe
inappropriately soon with some things.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yes, it kind of explains itself.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
It does.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Okay, have you ever been in a love bombing situation
that you can remember?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I have not been bombed, nor have I bombed?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Oh good? Your pace is always on point, Sam.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's almost like there are two aspects to that. One
is trying too hard and the other is being inappropriately
soon with things. Oh yes, yes, So like for me
and you, Jody, when we were first together, I don't
think I love bombed you did.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I absolutely not. It was a very natural, steady, but
very real.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You couldn't have love Bombing is also forcing something when
you want somebody really wants that badly and is sort
of forcing it is what Also love bombing is Everything
that happened between you and I was just very natural
and it was it was a slow build.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
It was a friendship first, And they.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Say that that's what's that real whatever love, it builds
slowly because.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You didn't love bomb him, did you.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Oh, no, no, she didn't love bomb me at all.
Everything just kind of grew gradually to the point where
A Jody was actually a little frustrated that I didn't
initially formally a proposed for marriage. That it just kind
of evolved. Honestly, I don't mean to sound stupid, but
our relationship evolved at the place where it was natural.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Getting married, and so there was never a propose anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I think I've made up for that since.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But but the other things I can remember when you know,
when I was younger, I brought a girlfriend to Christmas,
probably too soon.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
She didn't know me at all.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
It was yes, it literally was the first date. That's
just not I went out. You could see it make
the family uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's not good. I went out with a guy a
long time ago. I probably never even told you about him,
because I went out with him one time. At the
end of the date, you know what he said, what
I think, I'm falling in love with you.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
It was a military guy, a pilot.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
And anyway, I didn't go back. I know, so my
family said the same, but I was like, no, too much.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Too soon, so too much too soon to you know,
pushing feelings that aren't really there, and control disguised as
care or can be love bombing right, so much look
out for that.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
It's a red flag. I can't stop thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What Sam, Since you said you're ready again to watch
that special person into your life, that's special someone being
a dog.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You're ready to adopt another.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Dog you're walking down is actually at the shelter?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I've had my time to grieve
over Gus and it's time to move on. I need
a buddy around the house. Besides, that's stupid cat.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Okay, the cat's not stupid, but anyway, he doesn't know it.
What I want to know is are you looking for
a certain type or rescue?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Rescue? It's going to be rescue. But as much as
I've told you in the past that I love my
son's dog, Jango, he's quirky, really quirky, but his behavior
is just to me perfect for a buddy. Okay, So
I'm thinking.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Temperament is more important to you.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, temperate personality also size. I'm not looking for a
monster dog again. I want something that's medium sized. Chihuahua
is probably too small on the smaller in for me.
I'm just looking for a little dog and little buddy, Yeah,
little buddy who this time, I'm going to do it
right too. I'm going to train him good, you know
from us.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Oh you're going to create train then that way you.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Can well yeah, but that's not even train as in sit, stay, run,
catch a frisbee, do.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Something, Oh, okay, because gus really yeah, well that's a
one off because you never know what a dog is
going to do, especially by the time they've established their patterns. Yeah,
you can throw balls all day and.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
So okay, the frisbee slash ball is extra. But you
know I want, I want if I say sit, if
I say calm, if I say do this and do that,
I like him the basic command.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
That's your plan.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
But you know, sometimes you need to know this and
we've talked about this before and you know this, but
the dog that you meet at the shelter or the
dog that you spend some time without a shelter is
still a dog at a shelter. It takes them some
time to adjust to life in a home. So you
will need to be if there are certain expectations you have,
then you need to behave accordingly from the time you
get home with that dog. If you do want to
(09:54):
ever be able to create him or her when there's
a thunderstorm or then you need to start creat make
their create a happy, happy place.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's the whole thing. Crazy. As humans, we think a
crate looks like jail, but it's their safe space. Yeah,
and if you create train, you're gonna have better success
in all the other areas because they follow your lead.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I have a whole list of rules that I'm gonna
go over with the dog.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Ahead and about the things he won't be eating in
the backyard.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And you're not looking for a certain breathe then just
a certain personality.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
What are your feelings rolling in about these date night ideas?
You know we had said I had said that I
would love it if you, Murphy would just surprise me. Hey,
we have reservations, put on a dress, let's go. And
I do think that a lot of women would feel
that way. And you are jumping in on this. Candy
says on our Instagram and Facebook pages. A man should
(10:50):
surprise his wife with a fun or simple date at
least once a month. Nora said, I miss the days
when my husband would surprise me with date nights.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Says same what she said Alicia.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I don't have a partner at this time, but I
would love it if he took charge and made all
the plans, given the fact that as a mom and wife,
we take care of everything else every day and hardly
have any time to think about anything else, never mind
planning a date for you to show me how much
I mean to you lol. Shelley says, spontaneity can be
(11:26):
very fun. Sometimes things can be planned, sure, but spontaneity
is very fun all caps.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah. You know, even if you don't have a partner
right now, if you have a bestia, you could probably
make an arrangement with each other say okay, look here's
the deal, at least once every couple of months. Yeah,
you surprised me with something, and I'll surprise you with some.
I guess that I don't have to be in an
active relationships.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I guess this conversation is about date nights, though, and
I don't. I do think that there are a lot
of men who don't realize that. But think about this
if you are in a marriage, you have a partner
who is handling.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Look.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Look, women are really good at handling everything like the milk,
know when the kids need to beware it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I agree with that.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
It's something that you just as a mom especially, you
don't turn.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
That off better than AI.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
You don't ever turn that off. You can't.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But and so it seems like you can relax because
she's got it. But I promise you she would like
to relax and to let somebody else take care of
something like that.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
So, yeah, you know what, as much as I did
stuff like that for my three x spouses, I never
thought about doing that. I mean I did other nice
little things, but I never thought about arranging the date night, and.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
I god, it would. Honestly, it's a turn on for
a man. Women love men who take charge and that
does not mean mean or bossy. It means good.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Ministic you can relax, you know, relax, Maybe I got
this and you just get to be the girl again,
not the person in charge of so much.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, I mean sometimes it's as simple as let's get
in the car and go. Honestly, I mean, even if
you don't have a plan, I think anything like that
that starts.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It's a surprise having a plan.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I think that makes you feel extra special as a woman. Anyway,
keep it coming. We love hearing from you, ladies, and
you can also call us eight seven seven three one
zero four MSJ Social Media Connect.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Let's hear from you. This is your show, this is
your place.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Got an email for Murphy Samon Jody dot com for
you Jody from Jane. Hey, Jane, Jane said, I heard
Jody say that she's unable to have chocolate. I am
an unable to have chocolate as well. Oh how does
Jody handle it?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Jane? That's so sad to me. Is there anything else
in that either.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
There's more.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I have a lot of people come to me and
say they could not live if they could not have chocolate.
So just wondering if Jody has the same issue. Does
she say that it's did it's allergy or sit now
you can't have it? No reason, I just can't have it.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
The truth of the matter is I can have chocolate now, Jane.
I was told I couldn't have it when I was
a child. My pediatrician told my mother in front of
my she can't have chocolate, cheese, or peanut.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But and he was probably smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, he was in.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
One fatal day when I was a child, and I
remember my mom and whole family took that so seriously
that they would when I would go to my grandma's house.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
They would put peanut out of my reach and things
like that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
And so yeah, I had Twinkies instead of ding Dongs
when I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
It made me want chocolate more as a child.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I'm not a pediatrician. But what did he base this on?
Did he do tests?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
From what I remember, I couldn't stop coughing. Oh, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I know.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
No test, No, he was He just.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Three put down in cigarette and made the So what.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
How did I handle it?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Jane?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I snuck. I snuck food. A very unhealthy relationship with
food began.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Fortunately though you weren't really allergic. Otherwise it would have
been a problem. It would have made you.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Know, when I stay with my grandmother, I would steal
those individually wrapped cheese craft cheese slices and I would
hide them in the room I was sleeping in and
eat one later by myself, Like so.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Such a bad I just picture that Jody's brother Jimmy
and her and her grandmother walking up, He goes, Jimmy,
here's a handful of her she's kisses and Jody, here's
some celery.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
So here's your zero candy. Because they thought white chocolate
wasn't chocolate.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
You didn't tell them like, hey, I've been experimenting with
cheese and chocolate and we're good.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Oh I wasn't that savvy, Are you kidding? Plus I
would have to admit that I had lied.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
They never noticed you smelled like peanut butter.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I obviously didn't handle it, but I'm all love to you. Jane.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Maybe test it out with your doctor. Shopping backwards is
the term. It's the trend. I'll tell you what it
may think sound new because of grocery prices, but I
guarantee you my grandmother did it. We touched on this
in Three Things to Know the other day. Shopping backwards
simply means, not, like what you guessed, Sam.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Start at the other end of the store.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
It does not have.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Anything to do with the way you. In fact, you
should hit a store the way you're used to hitting it.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I always do well, And if it's the first time
you're visiting, it's impossible to shop backwards that way because
you don't know what which is.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
What kills me is when it's a national chain and
one of them is laid out differently than that.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That is, I know they're design differently. Just when you
think you've mastered Walmart.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
This store that I used to grocery shop at years ago,
they would change the store around that specific location every
now and then. Why so it's like I had assistance
and all of a sudden, Okay, where are the cookies?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Was probably a retail research reason probably for them doing that. No,
shopping backwards is starting at home, looking at your fridge,
your pantry, even your freezer, looking at what you already have,
so you know what you have to work with when
you go to the store.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Then you shop to build on that.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
No, that makes sense, and then you also want to
be redundant. I've done that before. It's like, I'm pretty
sure we'ret a Mayo. No we're not. There's are two
in the pantry.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Correct, everybody's done that too. It's you know, it just
makes a lot of sense. We talked about that when
but before I took you clothes shopping the other day, Murphy.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
It's like, let's look at what you have already, so
we know what.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
We actually need, you know, so we don't end up
with five gray sweaters. But it just makes sense because groceries,
grocery prices, it's a thing. It's not going down. But
you do already have stuff. If you're if you're not
seeing how many times you open the pantry, you don't
see it anymore exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Well the other thing is at some point you are
going to have to replenish your pantry. If that's the
only way you shop.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Oh yeah, it helps you clear it out. So shopping
backwards is the term I feel like. Also, it's a
skill set. It is that you have to practice. You
have to make yourself do it. There are people who
can open up pantry and go, I can make this
with that. All I need is to add tomato sauce.
And then there are people who can't do that. So
start practicing.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
And nine times out of ten, it's on the way
home where you realize, oh wait, I need to stop
with the story. So you're not gonna have time to
shot backwards. You're gonna shot forwards. Judy's Top five entertainment
stories of the Week, Number five.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
That sounds great.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Are the other Jonas brothers in it?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
I don't. It's not that no stand alone, just Nick.
The action star.

Britney Spears sells her catalog to the company Primary Wave. Now,
the troubling or weird thing here is that she didn't
write most of her biggest hits, So what is she getting.
She's actually getting performance rights and they think that's a
big payday for them, and it's sure.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's not troubling. She still gets two hundred million dollars
for the time.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
The word is that she netted a low nine figures
for this to do that math Number one, the Steamy

I want to wait for it.

Margo, Robbie and Jacob and Lord A taking this classic
Emily Bronte piece of literature and steaming it up. It's
very artsy, hotter than you remember reading it. Okay, some
of the critics are calling it bodice ripping fun you know, filth.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
It's very steamy.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Rted are two hours sixteen minutes long, and they do
expect the heavy Victorian dresses to come back into style
because of the way Margo rocks them.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Jody's top five entertainment stories of the week.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
If you ever reach out to us and ask a question,
I want you to know we remember you, and sometimes
I can't get you off my mind, and that's because
I want to address this. Jane had emailed the show
like yesterday and Sam, you read this email where she
was asking, Hey, Jody, I understand you can't have chocolate.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I can't either. How do you deal? And I think we.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Answered with these haha, funny stories of the fact that
I couldn't when I was a child.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, when you were a child. You can have it now.
But and you know that we've poked fun of that
over the years. You've laughed at it over the years
because the doctor misdiagnosed you completely.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
But so the truth of the matter is I can
have chocolate. I could then, we just didn't know that.
And so You've been on my mind, Jane, because we
I feel like I did not answer you, and so
I've been thinking about you, and I just wanted to
say the only advice I could say is like, I've
never heard of anybody not being allowed to have chocolate,
(21:59):
not being able to have childocolate. But if it were me,
of course, I'm sure you've explored all the substitute options.
You guys are where they're You're aware there's a substitute
for chocolate.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I know they have Carolan based chocolate now too.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Right, and so you would have to talk to your
doctor about that, but it'll send you on a journey
of tasting different things.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well, there actually are some candy bars that are coated
in carab. Anyway, I think butterfinger doesn't really have real
chocolate in it. What really I think it is. I
think that. I mean, look, I could be wrong. If
you've got an allergy, double check me on that, but
I'm almost positive it's coated in carab, not chocolate.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
You know, years ago I had those years Yeah, not
because of an allergy, but because when I worked at
the health club years ago. This you know, guy was
one of our bosses, was very careful about everything he
put in his body, and he had that instead of chocolate.
He was going when he try some, Jody, and of
course I was like, this is not chocolate, chocolate ish.
(22:53):
It tastes nutty. It's a rich, velvety, nutty taste. It's
not quite as rich as chocolate, but it is the
closest use.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Your teeth to strip off the top of a butterfinger.
And that's what it takes to.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Say, Jane, is this when you are told you can't.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Have something, or when you self restrict, let's just say
you're on some sort of diet, the best thing to
do is focus on what you can have, not what
you can't.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
You're not gonna be able to focus on chocolate.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I'll never be happy.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
No, you can.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Focus on hopefully you can have peanut butter. Hopefully you
can have nut butters or other things that would bring
you some sort of velvety, decadent feeling. Because chocolate is
supposed to be consumed in small amounts anyway, as a
special treat.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Anyway, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I'm wrong about butterfinger. Homemade butter fingers. Apparently I got
time for that.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Anyway, That's what I wanted you to know, Jane, because
you've been on my mind. Murphy is back to an
iPhone after years with Android. It's his new girlfriend. It's
all he ever does anymore. He never comes to bed now.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
He's all in.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
He's got the Apple.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Watch and the air pod at all this stuff going on.
But the funniest thing about you, you know, talking all
this tech here at work. The producer Faith also just asked, wait,
you have two phones because you were telling Sam about
trying to switch the number over, and she's like, why
do you have two phones?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Walter White, Well, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I'm gonna tell you Thank god I did have two
phones because I had an error switching it where I'm
almost lost all contact.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
It's an honest mistake, and the customer service rep texted
me and apologized profusely for just an accidental oversight. So
if I didn't have the second phone, I really would
have been messed up in trying to transfer all this
stuff over. But yeah, no, we have, you know, our
original home phone number. It just was a cool phone number.
And when we started to port everything in different places.
It's like, well and keep that number.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
You know number.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, so we have that old old phone number that
has that cute little ring to it.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
And I have a habit still.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
You know. I mean, I'm just one of those you
know how, I'm Sam, you know me. Some people call
it extra. I just say it's a backup everything. And
my life has a backup. And for good reason. I'm
gonna tell you, because when you don't think you need
the backup, until you need the backup. Yeah, and that's
exactly what I have. You have your old home phone
phone number hook to a different.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
A different cell he has about.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah, you don't have a phone landline anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
No, I haven't had a landline yet.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
No, but we wanted to keep that landline machine here.
I ever needed an extra backup phone, we would have it.
It's kind of and it's just attached to whatever account,
but it's attached to your account that you were switching
from Android to iPhone. Which was funny because the other
person who's on that account is our youngest daughter, Phoebe.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
And so the other night she was at.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Her twenty first birthday party with all of her friends
and it was a party okay. They were enjoying the
spoils of being twenty one.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
And I didn't realize that because I was trying to
call her because the little arrow I was telling you
about where I lost contact. She was the only one
that could approve the changes needed on my phone at
that point, and she's part yes.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
She did not call him back.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
She texted him and then later she told me I
had my friend out on the balcony helping me respond
to this to make sure that I made sense, to
make sure it wasn't a scam from my.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, she thought it was a scam because I was
t I had Typo's Galore in there. I was in
a panic, you know, and she's like that, are you okay?
But it was her friend that actually told her to type, Dad, are.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
You It's Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
We are here for it for you, So before we
get started, it is a grateful Friday. Also, I want
to teach you a mammogram trick that I learned this week. Murphy,
I told you about my mammogram earlier. I told everybody
I had a mammogram this week. It's the appointment sort
of snuck up on me and it's like, Oh, you
have this big appointment where I got my bone scan
and my female visit and all of that. And I
(26:50):
didn't know I was having a mammogram. So what did
I do that morning?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Lots of coffee.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
It's a coffee, a caffee.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I rolled in there putting the gown on, drinking a
doctor Pepper zero and I'm like, oh wait, I'm about
to have a mammogram. And one of the best things
I ever heard from my friend who was a mimography tech,
stop caffeine the morning of, like hours before, because it
causes your breast tissue to be more sensitive. Okay, and
(27:19):
so I usually do that trick. I didn't do that,
but she also my friend Lisa, who's taught me a
lot about it. I like to try to share this here,
has also explained to me. I asked one time we're
sitting over coffee, I'm like, why do they have to
press down so flat? Why is it such a intrusive
so so much compression? And she explained it in a
(27:41):
way that I want to share with you because I
use this mind trick this time while I was being.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Compressed, look at mine trick.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Well, she explained that it's because the compression is important
because they don't want to miss anything. They want to
get the best image they possibly can. If they don't
compress it and get that best as much image as
they can as much of that tissue, the doctor might
miss something that's actually there.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Something could be hiding behind something else.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
The more dense your breasts are, the more difficult to see. Also,
so I believe that visualization is important, you know, I
said that recently. Whenever you drink water, imagine your organ's
getting the.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Water, so it helps you. Just a visualization is a
thing to me.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
So while I was getting my mammogram with all the
caffeine in my system, and yeah, it was I felt
it more. It was a more uncomfortable mammogram. But it's
only a few seconds that you're compressed like that. I
remember thinking, this is.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
A good image.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
This feels this way because this is a good clear image.
It's a visualization trick. I'm just throwing it out there.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
That's really smart.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
When something like that, you know you're having a test
that's a bit uncomfortable, Realize there's a reason that it's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
How many seconds are they having to hold it like that?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
It feels it probably feels like it's forever.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It feels like thirty seconds to a minute. It's probably
thirty seconds or less. Okay, But by the way, I
got my results the very next day, perfectly good and
clean mammogram.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
So grateful for that.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
How to get a good night's sleep even when you're
away from home, Murphy, You need to know this with
all of your travel and whatnot. Yeah, I don't usually
sleep well away from home.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Should I share my secret?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I want it, But some of these secrets are coming
from experts and olympians who are sleeping away from home
right now.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Maybe why I'm the same secret.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Right Murph, let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I bring my own blanket.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yes, magic, he brings his magic sleeping blankety blanket.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I called him my magic sleeping It's the ug one
that Jody gave me a couple of years ago, and
so it works as padding you know, in the in
the suitcase for equipment. But for some reason, I sleep
better under it. And yes, I'm a grown adult.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
What's so funny is the backstore You don't know this.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I have looked and look to look for an UG
travel blanket and they don't sell them. It doesn't exist. Yeah,
it would just be me buying you another ug for travel.
It's not the same thing.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
So now it has to go in the bigger suitcase
for the rest of.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
The blanket anyway. But that's one of the things.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
When you're sleeping somewhere else, make it your own as
much as you can. So bring your own pillow, bring
your own blanket, bring your comforts. If you sleep with
a mask, do it. If you sleep with rain sounds
or ocean sounds, bring that. Make it your own as
much as you can.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Okay, sometimes I like the pillows better at the hotel though, Oh.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, No.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Make sure your evening routine, even in a hotel or
wherever you're staying airbnb, is calm, warm, shower, calming music,
breathing exercises. Steer clear of too many screens and anything
exciting on.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
You know, don't watch an exciting movie.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
The other thing is wake up at your consistent time,
whatever time you normally wake up.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Do that because it helps you. It helps your whole rhythm.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
That makes sense. I guess that's easy as long as
you haven't completely changed time zones. Oh yeah, I wonder
what The advice is on that because your your circadian
rhythm is different.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
If you do that, your body knows. The clock can
say one thing, but your body knows, oh and you're timing. Sorry,
Sam made a little five. The other thing is don't
obsess over your sleep. Don't even though we're talking about that, don't.
If you have a gadget that's tracking your sleep, don't
(31:25):
obsess over it because it just let it go. One
not so great night's sleep is not going to ruin you.
You can recover from one rough night.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Not always easy to roll with it, but sometimes, you know,
takes the stressful part of.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
You know, when you're laying there.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
This is when you're at home too, When you're laying
there and you can't go to sleep, they do say
a trick is to get up, do something, go get
some water or whatever, then start the go back to
bed again. Don't just lay there obsessing like, start the
routine over again in a short, many sort of way
makes sense
