Episode 0090 - “Good Craic”

Frank Murphy is joined by Becca James, who is interested in going on a See More Smokies adventure. Frank says he used muscle memory to put on his bronzer. Frank is starting his press tour for Tennessee Scholars’ Bowl. 

Frank’s wife Jere made a batch of cracker candy. She pours melted sugar and butter over a tray of crackers and then places chocolate chips on top. The hot tray goes in the freezer until the candy is solid. Jere was worried that Frank would be startled when she dropped the cookie sheet on the floor to break the candy into pieces. 

Becca made some peppermint bark but failed to use parchment paper. Her twin boys helped spread crushed candy canes over the melted chocolate. She usually makes Pizzelle cookies for Christmas. 

Jere makes chocolate chip cookies at Christmas time. Frank asks if all cookies are Christmas cookies. Gingerbread cookies are his favorite. Frank’s daughter sent him a video of her kids destroying a gingerbread house with a mallet followed by another video of them peacefully eating the gingerbread.

Frank got a text from his friend Jim who is a widower. Frank took a screenshot of himself at the funeral for Jim’s wife Tracy. Jim sent Frank a text that said, “I thought of you today. I was listening to the Weird Al song “Tacky” and it got to the verse about live-tweeting a funeral, taking selfies with the deceased…” Jim also sent Frank a link to the music video: https://youtu.be/zq7Eki5EZ8o 

The late Brandon Gibson is pictured on the front of Blank Newspaper. Kathryn Frady’s eulogy is included in the retrospectives of Brandon’s life. Many people from the local opera and theater scenes attended Brandon’s funeral. Frank says the funeral was both hilariously funny and tragically sad. 

One of the first things that Becca knew about Frank was that he and Dave Morales would race to be the first to notify the other about celebrity deaths.
