We're loving this new 'analog room' trend of screen-free spaces for reading, records, and real conversation. Remembering an Icon: Dolly Parton, and what "Dads-to-Be" should never do in the delivery room.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam & Jody Daily Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
This trend of families in homes creating a room that's
considered the analog room.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yeah, re-explain that because you did that in Three Things
to Know.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh, love it. The idea of having a room that
has no electronics in it, no screens. It's only meant
to be, you know, like a reading area or listening
to music area. And they do mean like bring out
the turntable if you want to keep it real analog. Books...
You know, soft lighting, a place to go be alone
or a place to go talk. Like sit with your
(00:34):
family and it's like an older room. You know, it
does not have the modern day stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
And when talking about that, you know, you were like, oh, wow,
that sounds nice.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
It does.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And I realized in that moment, Murphy, that's why I
love our family room. Now, I know we have a
huge screen TV in there. That's the only thing, though,
the rest of that room. even feels older because it's
got like dark wood so.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah jody actually will not she does not want to
repaint that room i i want it to match the
rest of the house with the white trim and the
white walls and you know she's fine with it being
a little older school and you're right it's got a charm.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
To it there's something about that room and i've never
been able to put my finger on it is with
all those woods those dark wood shelves and stuff it's
because it reminds me of It's so different than everything else.
I feel like I'm getting away when I get in
there and maybe going back in time a little bit
because I'm not always watching TV in there. Sometimes I'm
just listening to music or painting or petting the dog
(01:33):
or reading. It's where I have my weekend coffee in there.
And so it's kind of like we have an analog room.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We could take this big screen out of there.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But I think the living room is actually closer to
the room because there is no– by design, there's no screen.
And I don't think we've ever had anybody ask us
about that.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
No, it's a thing.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
But there's not– I mean, most people will now have
a screen in the kitchen or a screen– there's no–
that area is screen-free.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah. You know, it's about the decor and how comfortable
that main living room is. But our family room is different.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
There's something about it, though. We could literally get rid
of that screen in there, and it would be a
legit analog room.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Except football season's coming.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It's an older house, too, so that's part of it.
I mean, the reason it feels analog is because that
part of the house was built in the 70s.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I know. You have paneling up in there, and we
would be OG. Well, Murphy, what do.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
You think about getting rid of the TV and the— I.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Mean— No, got to keep one. You got to keep
one screen. I don't want to either.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Coming up at 6.50, three things to know to start
your day. And next, Sam is the food dude.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, I'm going to let you know what Reese's is
doing to make your Halloween candy shopping and handing out
the candy easier this year.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Sam's always up on the new eats.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
He's the food dude.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Reese's has this great idea that we're going to be
able to purchase this year for Halloween. It is a
giant plastic pumpkin that has your candy already in it.
And the candy that's in it is all Reese's.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Peanut butter cups. Because is there any other candy?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
No, there is not. Not for Easter, not for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That's my favorite thing about a Halloween candy bucket is
looking in it and your eyes scanning. And if you're
trick-or-treating and you're a kid and they say pick one,
that's an important question you are asked and you start looking.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Well, if you say pick one and they're all Reese's.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You know what else, though?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Everybody will love you.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I know you're going to want to go to the
house with just the Reese's bucket, but if you buy
the Reese's bucket and give it as a gift to
somebody in October, win.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
That's a win. Now, there's 110 pieces of candy in here,
all snack sizes.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And they've mixed them up. It's the peanut butter cups,
the ghosts, the Reese's pieces, and also peanut butter pumpkins.
That's actually genius.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I know.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I have no clue what the price is, but, you know. Priceless.
I don't know if a mortgage is involved or not.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, could be.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
If you love the taste of Little Debbie's pumpkin spice rolls,
but you're thinking, I sure wish I could get protein
in there.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Well, you're in luck because Rise, R-Y-S-E, they're a nutritional
supplement brand. They partnered with Little Debbie to bring us
pumpkin spice roll protein shakes.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Oh, so you're drinking it.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
30 grams of protein.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
And it's supposed to taste just like a little Debbie's roll.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Are they just testing it at pumpkin season? Because it
seems like she has 100 products you could add protein to.
You know?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yeah, little Debbie.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Little Debbie.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, but you're not adding them to the cakes. You're
adding them to the drink.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh, you're right. Thank you. That would be strange.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And if you're going to be on the road anytime
soon and you want to swing in and see the
beaver at Bucky's.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
We have pumpkin spice hot chocolate.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You know, in the packet, in the mix.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
You can make your own. And they also have a
ghoulish green hot chocolate. It changes color.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Always something new at the Beaver there.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
And Aldi, they want your help in choosing their next
coffee creamer. The flavor. Okay. They got eight of them
to choose from. Blackberry, cobbler, caramelized banana, honey vanilla, yada yada. Anyway,
you can go onto their website. You have until tomorrow.
That's when everything wraps up. 10 o'clock Eastern tomorrow morning.
to vote on which one you think they should put
(05:08):
in the store.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Do they have their own brand, or is it Burisimo
that's there?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Burisimo.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's their brand.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
So I've got the cinnamon roll version of that, which
is unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Thank you, Food Dude. Coming up next, your Hollywood outsider.
The latest buzz. Jodi's Hollywood Outsider. There's a movie opening
this week in theaters, Coyote vs. Acme, that has been
a long time coming because it was supposed to be
here in 2023, and then the studio shelved it because
of a tax write-off.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, they wanted to scrap it and take the tax break, apparently.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
This film follows Wile E. Coyote as he sues Acme
over its faulty product.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Have you been horribly injured by a product made by
the Acme Corporation? It's not your fault.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
There's probably someone to blame. I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Why has this taken so long to have the coyote sue?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
To describe it for you, it's live action meets that,
is it Looney Tunes? The cartoon. Yeah. So like Wile E.
Coyote's in it, but he's with like John Cena is
in it and Will Forte. They're in it.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
And weren't some of those actors the ones that lobbied
to bring it back? I mean, I can say in 2023,
you're still coming out of COVID and the theater business
wasn't so hot. I can see why they were worried
about it. But today would be prime.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Of course they were. But also fans, people who wanted
to see this and go watch the trailer. Because, I mean,
to me, I'm thinking I'm not interested in this. And
then I go watch it and that meep meep is perfect.
And then there's like Tweety is in it and Foghorn
Leghorn is in it. And even at the end.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
So what? What is up, Doc? Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's in theaters this weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Coming up next, it's Keep the Wow Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Keep the Wow Wednesday. This is when we ask you
to share your recent personal wows. And they can be
big life goals or they can be little things that
you are working on. Sometimes it's like, can I please
get my contacts in on the first try?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
For you.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That's mine.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That's a Jodi one, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Anyway, so keep the WOW Wednesday. This came in to murphysamandjodi.com.
It's from Martha. I have to tell you, I had
another WOW this week. I'm the person who contacted you
guys a week or so ago on WOW Wednesday about
writing a series of children's books.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
One of them being Andy the Ant Who Said I Can't.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I must have gotten to work before I heard you
talk about that on air that day. Because after a
review on Amazon, I found out that they had purchased
a book after hearing about it on your show. I
was able to find the segment on your YouTube channel.
Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of
my heart. I appreciate you sharing my wow. And this
week I have published three more to the series. I'm
(07:50):
also writing a memoir about being adopted from Germany and
then going back and meeting my birth mother when I
was in my 20s. Martha, you're a writer. Keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I've always kind of had this fantasy of being the
writer type because you picture them sitting in their own
little isolated room, whatever comforts and creative environment and all that,
and it being peaceful. And I'm sure that's not what
it is at all.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You know, I believe that writing is so much harder
than we know. And there are probably people who are
almost tortured by the ideas that they have in their head.
But having an idea is not the same as getting
it on paper. and getting it to make sense to
an editor or even just any audience. Everything is harder
than we think.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
What would you write about, Murphy?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh, I don't know what I would write about.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I don't know if you had a plan.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
No, I just pictured the act of it. Because I
like office supplies and school supplies.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
You could write a management motivational series.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, I guess I could. You could.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
If you let me do the foreword, that would be great.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Ha ha ha ha!
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Anyway, Martha, thank you for sharing your wow. One of
the books is Andy the Ant Who Said I Can't.
The other one is Lucy the Ladybug Who Had No
Spots and Sammy the Snail Who Was Too Slow. We
love you, Martha. Thank you so much. Share your wows
with us, little or big, 877-310-4MSJ. Up next, Jody has
three things to know today. Three things to know today.
(09:23):
Number one, the world has lost somebody we were not
prepared to lose. And then again, we may never really
lose her because you kind of feel like Dolly Parton
will always be with us. She passed away yesterday at
the age of 80. It was announced yesterday. And then
we had heard that it was after a brief battle
with cancer. I kind of thought we maybe would never know.
But I guess it was, you know, she had been
(09:44):
at the cancer center in Nashville, the Vanderbilt, Ingram.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
For a few days. For four days.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And it was, what, four days ago that she told
the world that she felt like she still had a
lot to do. Number two, the president has ordered all U.S.
flags to be flown at halftime. for a week. The
Empire State Building last night paid tribute with the entire
building lit up in pink in Dolly's honor.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Pink sparkles.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Right. And we do know that she will be buried
next to her husband, her husband Carl, of 59 years.
She will be in a comfortable cotton dress. But in
her signature high heels, it's another thing she requested.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
And it's supposed to be a private family ceremony, right?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Right, in Nashville. That's what we're hearing. And number three,
the Grand Ole Opry announced last night they're dedicating the
entire Saturday night show to her. And rightly so. I
think we're going to see more and more of that
as we all kind of grieve her together. And then Dolly,
a true original musical, that will proceed, by the way,
(10:43):
in December. It opens in New York.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And then it really opens for real, I guess.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
In January.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
On January 19th, which would have been her 81st birthday.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I would like to share a secret with everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Okay, Sam.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well, then it won't be a secret anymore, Sam.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Because it's something I can share now. This goes back
to my solo Sam weekend this past weekend. Bar Q
and Concert. I haven't told anybody this, but it was
kind of a personal retreat for me. I went into
it as a, not just a solo Sam trip. It
was a personal retreat to work on some anxiety issues.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
When I do these solo trips, I do it, number one,
to get away for enjoyment.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Part of being by yourself is you make all the decisions.
And there's a lot that when I take these trips,
I don't talk about this, but You know, it's like, okay,
when should I leave to get here? Is there going
to be traffic? I'm going to eat at this restaurant.
Let me check out the menu online so I know
what I'm doing. It's just a whole bunch of stuff
that a normal person would think is unnecessary.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
You're saying that this kind of stuff that is normal
in our lives, especially with travel, causes you a lot
of anxiety.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Well, it sounds like control anxiety, basically.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yes. Control anxiety. And so this trip was a little
bit of me working on just let it go.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Go with the flow.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
What? Go with the flow. When I went to Lockhart
to do the barbecue eating, you know, there was that line. Mm-hmm.
I might have not sat in that line before, but
I decided to sit, talk to people, chill. There was
a farmer's market in the city. I walked around a
little while at the farmer's market. I didn't have every
second of this trip planned out. Very smart.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
And that's unusual for you.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Yeah, because I do too much research, too much worrying,
too much. you know, boom to boom to boom to boom.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
This is so beautiful that you know you need to
work on this, that it's internal because no one else
would ever know that. Now, we work really close with
you and we've worked with you for so long. I
do know that you are a stickler for things going
the way they're supposed to go.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And it's like, sometimes to me, it's like, well, we
don't finish at 1030. We finish at 11. What difference?
What's the big diff?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
That is a whole nother problem I have too. When
things interrupt my schedule, my planned and my head schedule.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I can tell it tenses you.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well, you know, they say, and it's difficult to do.
I think it's even more difficult today to leave 50%
of your day open for emergencies because that's what's going
to happen.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
But it's more difficult now than it's ever been before.
But this is a really good step in the right direction.
If you take a breath and realize the world is
not on your schedule, unfortunately, then life gets easier.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Do you feel, though, that you got something out of it?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I felt like I accomplished. I didn't accomplish everything I
wanted to, but I accomplished concerts. I usually leave before
the last song to beat the traffic. I stayed the
whole time this time.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
All right.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yay, Sam. All right. So what's next? I got to know.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Actually, in truth, it's the morning pick-me-up. That's next.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Morning pick-me-up time. This is a back-to-school one about a
high school in Tulsa. You may have heard about this.
It's been trending since back-to-school happened for them at Bishop
Kelly High School. It's a small, private Catholic school and
They've had this tradition for years, forever, that on the
first day when freshmen show up and get dropped off
(14:13):
by their parents, that the seniors used to play pranks
on them. You know, getting out of the car and
walking into the school was a thing that you were
nervous about as a freshman because you knew you were
going to be pranked and somehow some sort of initiation. Well,
in 2001, the class of 2001 decides, 26 years ago,
decided let's just be kind. Let's do something good but
(14:35):
kind and welcome them to the school. And so what
they did was something called Kiss the Mom. If you
are a freshman and you are being driven in carpool
onto that campus, you cannot get out of the car.
Hundreds of seniors gather around the car, and they won't
let you out until you kiss your mom on the
cheek to say thank you for all of this. I'm
(14:58):
in high school now. You have to kiss your guardian
or someone who brought you We hold the car. We
hold the car door. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Preventing it from opening.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
It's like initiation.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
We all did it.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
How embarrassing was that?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Your heart starts thumping out of your chest. I'm not
a very huggy person. Now, those were some of the
freshmen who, you know, did it and got out. And,
of course, who do you think loves it the most?
Here's one of the administrators talking about it. And you
know who the happiest people are in this whole thing?
The mothers.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
There's a big moment for them, especially if it's their
first child or their last child.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
So emotional. I was crying yesterday and all morning, and
she asked me not to cry during the drop-off.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I think I did okay.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
The moment you drive off after dropping them to school
is when it hits you. He gave me that kiss,
and I saw him leave, and that meant I have
to let go.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
And the thing about it is, there's a lot of
kids who would just go, thanks, Mom. And who would
normally not necessarily give that love, who do it because
it's part of the process. They have to do it,
you know? And you heard one of the kids say,
I'm not really this person, but you do it, and
it means a lot. So they really do. This was
just from the other day when they surrounded the cars.
(16:12):
And that's after the kiss.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's really sweet. Your morning picked me up. And coming
up next, Jodi has your Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Trending now.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Jodi's Hollywood outsider.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Of course, we all know we've lost a unicorn with
the loss of Dolly Parton yesterday at the age of 80.
And so a lot of people who actually worked with
her have shared and you're seeing all of that on
social media. But there was one thing that was posted
yesterday on social that I had to stop and screenshot
and take a minute. And that was something posted by Eminem.
(16:49):
It's a letter on Dolly Letterhead. You know the Dolly signature. Well,
she had her own letterhead, and it was a letter
written to him in 2022 when they were both inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that same year.
And it says, Marshall, and in parentheses, Eminem. Congratulations on
your induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Your performance was amazing, and everybody said so. Even though
(17:12):
I don't know a lot about rap music, I've come
to know that you were the very best at it.
Aside from that, Hmm.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
In the meantime, keep doing what you're doing because you
do it so well. And no matter how complex your
world may be, just know you are very special and
touch people in ways you don't even know. With love
and respect, Dolly Parton. That was on Dolly Letterhead to
Eminem in 2022.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Coming up at 7.50, three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. We shared the
burger that I ate the other night. I rarely order
a cheeseburger, but I ordered one, and it showed up
like a work of art. It's a gorgeous picture, and
it came with a sliced grilled pickle on the side.
And on top of this burger were grilled pickles with, like, seasoning, too.
(18:23):
Not just grilled.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You know, even before I went to go, I didn't
try it, but looking at that, that's a presentation. That's really,
that is the art of plating right there.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
It elevates any sandwich to put something on it that's unexpected.
Something that's unexpected on a sandwich will just make you think, oh,
it's the greatest one I've ever had. And it's true
for burgers as well. So Danny said, anytime we go
to a restaurant, we had asked on social media, anytime
we go to a restaurant, I have a burger with
a fried egg on it and I always have to
get it. Diane said grilled bell pepper strips.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
That sounds good.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, that does sound good.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Some other suggestions we had heard were like pepper jelly
on a burger, which I would do in a heartbeat.
You had suggested... Pimento cheese.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah, pimento cheese.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I can't remember. Do you do anything unusual in your burgers, Murphy?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
No, not really.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I know.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I mean, I'm sort of a burger purist. I'm about
the meat and just simple.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I like hot stuff on a burger. I like jalapenos
and stuff like that. Patty said, I've had grilled pineapple
on a turkey sandwich, and I think I'd like to
try it on a burger.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I had it on a burger one time.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You did?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
It was good.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I'm surprised you ate that, Sam.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Every now and then, because when you see those things
on the menu, it's like, oh, let.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Me try it. You could always pull it right off
of there if it doesn't work for you, couldn't you?
Stephen just says lots and lots of ketchup.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Lisa says chips.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
She likes chips on her burger. I've never done that.
That's good on a sandwich. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I've done it on sandwiches, never on a burger.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Any kind of chip, any kind of chip. Murphy, see
Murphy at home is at the, you're at the mercy
of me with whatever I make. Because I'll make a
sandwich for him and I'll throw something unusual on it.
And you're like, man, what's this? And it's like, it's
just Italian dressing. I'll say stuff like that. And he's like, oh,
it's great.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Judith.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
It's true. You are good at the surprise.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Peanut butter and bacon. Both peanut butter and bacon.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
And I've heard, I mean, there are plenty of burger
joints that now actually sell them that way.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
And it's different. It's one of those where, yeah, it's good,
but you can't do that every time.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's heavy. And Marie, a burger at a place that
I had had fried jalapenos. Not soggy, but crunchy.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
That's a good twist on things if you like jalapenos.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Keep it coming. Coming up next, three things to know today.
Three things to know today. All of these things about
Dolly Rebecca Parton, who passed away at the age of
80 yesterday. We all feel this together. There was no
one in the world like her. We lose her. And
then she's she's everywhere, though.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
And she always every generation.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
She always will be. Dolly's funeral will be a small,
intimate affair in Nashville. We've been told that should be
laid to rest in Woodlawn Memorial Park. in her signature
high heels, and then a light cotton dress, which is
something she asked for because the rhinestones of her life
were so heavy. Number two, also wanted you to know
this incredible behind-the-scenes story. There's so many. In 1964, when
(21:17):
she graduated high school, she moved to Nashville the next day.
Talk about somebody who knew what she wanted to do.
And the record label had her writing pop music first.
She begged to write country music, and they were like, no, write.
And finally they came along and said, okay. You can
write country music. And her first one was called Dumb Blonde.
And number three, realize she really is everywhere. You know,
(21:39):
she has a dedicated line of pet apparel and accessories.
Dolly Parton baking kits are all over the stores. She
had a cosmetics line that was launched in 2024. The unexpected,
I guess, newest, the Tennessean Travel Stop. She made her
last public appearance there. just two months ago at the
travel stop upon its opening. And then, of course, the
(22:00):
Dolly Parton Songteller Hotel will open in Nashville this October.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
You're up to date.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Top mistakes that dads-to-be make in the delivery room. This
is based on, this is from a labor and delivery
nurse who has done thousands of births and been there
thousands of times. And by the way, I want to
just say up front, I do want to hear from
you guys about how you felt about being in that
room because it's very different than the mom's perspective. But
(22:33):
she does say that most dads are fine, caring and attentive.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I'm sure most are.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
There's only some that are like the red flag dads.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But if you're the first time dad, you don't know.
You're already nervous anyway about what do I do.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Is that what you felt like? You felt nervous? Like,
what do I do?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I mean, I think that the mistakes that I learned,
the things not to do, to be honest with you,
was because my sister was the first in the family
to actually have kids.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
And so, you know, I made those mistakes with her.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Just like looking at the monitor and I was joking
about things. It's like, all right, whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh, yeah, you were.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
She's in pain and I'm sitting there pointing at the
monitor going, oh, here comes another big one. Can't do that.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, you sure did. Bless her. I know. Bless her.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
So anyway, yep.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Sam, were you in the delivery room for some of
the kids?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah, for some of them. And, yeah, I was nervous
about it.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I can see that. I believe it.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
I don't think I asked any dumb questions.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Good. Were you attentive and caring?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
I think so, yeah. I mean, for number two, you know,
we brought along a jam box and we had some
CDs that we had chosen just for this. No, I
mean relaxing CDs.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Of course, nice.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Rock and roll, and I was in charge of that.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
That's sweet. Okay, so you were like the DJ.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Hey, I'm coming up next. That was a while ago, obviously,
with the CDs. So the Red Flag Dads, the worst
things she has seen. Please don't do this. If you're
a dad-to-be, don't do these things. Being interested... Being very
concerned with being entertained. Like, can we watch TV? Can
I hook up my Xbox? She's seen that.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Oh, really?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Don't do that.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I would think that would be no duh.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Being on your device the whole time in a meeting.
You know, if you're going to be working or in
a meeting, you should leave the room. There was a
time when dads weren't allowed in delivery rooms. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I thought it was kind of a blessing and gift
actually to be able to be there for both of us.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Correct. The other two big no-nos that she has seen,
and it's a low percentage, but the other one's like
showing up absolutely having had some alcohol.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
You're nervous.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Really?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, and she's also seen them flirting with the nurses
and being inappropriate. Do not be that guy. You would
lose me in that moment. Do not be that guy.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
There's going to be more difficulty coming after the birth.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
You better believe it. And on top of her postpartum,
you better believe it.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
All right, coming up next, Sam has music news.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
And, of course, today it's all things Dolly.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Sam's got music news.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
With all the trivias to Dolly Parton all over social media,
a lot of things I saw on my feed yesterday
that were brought up were things I didn't know before
about Dolly.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Or some of the memories that came back like, oh, yeah,
I remember that. Two months ago, her last public appearance,
I think you said this in Three Things, Jodi, was
at the truck stop she just opened.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yes, Tennessee Inn.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
The Dolly's Tennessee Inn truck stop. Did you know that
they also have a jingle for that one? I found that.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Dolly! Tennessee Inn truck stop. Tennessee Inn truck stop.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Ha ha ha!
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
She always had something up those rhinestone sleeves.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Oh, yeah. And I don't know if you remember this one,
but just recently, Sabrina Carpenter, her song Please, Please, Please,
she did a version with Dolly.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I have one idea, babe. Maybe just stay inside.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I know you'll crave me some fresh air, but the
ceiling fan is so.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
I remember that, yeah. 2022 was when she was inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And part
of the, you know, they do the big jam at
the end where everybody sings.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
They did Jolene, and everybody was up there. Pat Benatar, Pink,
Simon LeBron, Annie Lennox, Sheryl Crow, Rob Halford from Judas Priest.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I'm begging of you, please don't leave.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
And you can hear her above everybody else.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
They all took their turns doing little solos.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
I completely forgot that when Whitney Houston won the Grammy
for I Will Always Love You, Dolly Parton's the one
who announced it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And the Grammy goes to.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Whitney Houston!
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Wow. That's wild.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It's almost like if she had not won, that would
have been like, oh, poor Dolly, too.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
You know, she was up for an Oscar in 2006
for a song from, I can't remember the name of
the song, Traveling Through was the song, but she was
up against 3-6 Mafia. They're the ones who won that year.
She wrote them a letter like she wrote Eminem, congratulating
them and saying, She didn't really care because they're bringing
the statue back to Tennessee, you know, them being from Memphis.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Right. And... So much.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
All the fun stuff Dolly used to do, she was
on The Simpsons.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Cleaning lady, would you let us out of here?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Me?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I'm Dolly Parton.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I didn't ask for your life story. Just give me
the key.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
And, of course, the Q & A on Kelly Ripa.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
These are rapid-fire questions. You just answer the first thing
that comes to your mind.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Favorite color? Claro, number 249.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
So, she was always so funny. Coming up next, your
Hollywood outsider. Jodi's Hollywood outsider. Allow me, in this outsider,
to talk personally about what Dolly Parton meant to me.
I did love her movie career. My favorite character was
Truvy from Still Night, Milius. I don't like Belmar Minion.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I don't trust anybody that does their own hair. I
don't think it's normal.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
But honestly, for what she's, I know what she is
for music and entertainment and for all of us, but
for women specifically, the first time I sat up and
really thought, wow, I need to pay attention to this woman,
was when I saw that old, old Barbara Walters interview
where Barbara Walters asked her about the way she dressed.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Here it is. You're very beautiful. You don't have to
wear the blonde wigs. You don't have to wear the
extreme clothes, right?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
No, it's certainly a choice. I don't like to be
like everybody else. I've often made the statement that I
would never stoop so low as to be fashionable. That's
the easiest thing in the world to do. So I
just decided that I would do something that would at
least get the attention. Once they got past the shock
of the ridiculous way I looked and all that, then
they would see there was something. a part of me
(28:49):
to be appreciated. I'm very real.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
The other thing about it is they went on, it
was kind of a long interview, of course, but she
basically told Barbara, I like myself. I'm secure in the
way I am, and this is how I want to be.
And it's such a great lesson, especially for women, to
not look to the world to tell you who you are,
if you're right or wrong.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Well, and the controversial question that Barbara asked her about,
you know, if somebody considered her a hillbilly, Right. And
her answer was that she would just kick them in
the shin.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
It's Keep the Wow Wednesday. Keep your wows coming, little
or big, whatever you are personally celebrating. We will clap
for you. 877-310-4MSJ. Sam, you went on a solo trip
this past.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Weekend. And one thing that you mentioned yesterday was that
you feel discombobulated in a hotel room.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Every trip, I wind up misplacing stuff in the room. Now,
I know it's in the room, so there's not that
complete loss.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
So common.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
It's not where I put it at home, so it
could be anywhere.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
So both of you already know that my uptightness with
air travel is something that I'm very diligent about time
on that. I'm the same way in a hotel room,
especially when I'm traveling by myself, because all of my
stuff is ready to— if I had to leave the room immediately—
It's ready to go.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Like all in one spot?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yep. Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
And the other thing, and I know you don't like
packing cubes, but the packing cubes eliminate that.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Seriously.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
They do.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
You know why? Because all your stuff is in one place.
It's designated and it goes with you. And so the
combination of that and the fact that I set up
everything that I need to when I get in the
room with places, but everything is compartmentalized. My overnight bag
is where everything stays. I do not unload it onto
the counter. You know, I work out of the bag.
(30:47):
My packing cubes, same thing. So everything stays in one space.
And instead of me looking for 15 things when I'm
about to leave the room, I only have a handful.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I think you have to travel, like, by yourself for
business over time to realize. Because the first time, when
you're younger and you first start doing that, traveling alone,
and you get to the hotel room, you're like, okay.
And just like, whatever. I'll use that tomorrow. And you
don't think about it. And then you're completely discombobulated. But
the more you do it, you realize. And packing cubes
come in handy for real. You know what I put
(31:19):
in my packing cubes now? Wow. And I keep them
in a packing cube in the room. Anything and all
things electronic.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Oh, yeah. Me too. I've got one bag for that.
All of that.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Because otherwise, I will spend 10 minutes looking. Where's my charger?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
You know, maybe I need to buy... one packing cube
a couple just for the electric no i have no
problem with the clothes shoes all that stuff what i'm
talking about is where's whatever you miss where'd i put
my wallet where'd i put the keys where are my.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Glasses what out whatever you're naturally losing in a hotel
room you should condense to one little packing cube or
area yeah okay maybe.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
One okay.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Here's three things to know today. Number one, all things
to know today about the world grieving the loss of
someone we cannot imagine living without, and that's Dolly Parton.
Died yesterday at the age of 80 after a brief
battle with cancer. We knew that she was battling something.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
But she was so positive and you never thought anything
was going to happen.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Four days ago, she said she felt like she still
had more to do. The funeral will be a small,
intimate affair in Nashville. She'll be laid to rest in
her signature high heels is what we have been told.
Number two, the president has ordered all U.S. flags to
be flown at half staff for a week. The Empire
State Building paid tribute last night with the entire building
(32:41):
lit up in pink rhinestones.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
In her honor.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
To me, do that all week, too. We'll see. The
Grand Ole Opry announced last night that they're dedicating the
entire Saturday night show to her, of course.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Oh, that'll be cool.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I know.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
And then Dolly, a true original musical, that will go on.
It starts, like, it opens in New York in December,
and then it for real opens on January 19th next year,
which would have been her 81st birthday. And number three,
you know she's going to be with us forever. The
Imagination Library, that will continue. In 2022, her Dollywood company,
(33:16):
announced that they would cover 100% of tuition and fees
and books for their employees. You know that, right? If
you work there, you can go to school. Thanks to Dolly.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
That's one of the most amazing campaigns.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Ever, honestly.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
And there's much, much more as we grieve and the loss,
we all feel it together, of Dolly Parton. You're in
the know. Three things to know today.
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam & Jody Daily Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
This trend of families in homes creating a room that's
considered the analog room.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yeah, re-explain that because you did that in Three Things
to Know.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh, love it. The idea of having a room that
has no electronics in it, no screens. It's only meant
to be, you know, like a reading area or listening
to music area. And they do mean like bring out
the turntable if you want to keep it real analog. Books...
You know, soft lighting, a place to go be alone
or a place to go talk. Like sit with your
(00:34):
family and it's like an older room. You know, it
does not have the modern day stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
And when talking about that, you know, you were like, oh, wow,
that sounds nice.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
It does.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And I realized in that moment, Murphy, that's why I
love our family room. Now, I know we have a
huge screen TV in there. That's the only thing, though,
the rest of that room. even feels older because it's
got like dark wood so.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah jody actually will not she does not want to
repaint that room i i want it to match the
rest of the house with the white trim and the
white walls and you know she's fine with it being
a little older school and you're right it's got a charm.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
To it there's something about that room and i've never
been able to put my finger on it is with
all those woods those dark wood shelves and stuff it's
because it reminds me of It's so different than everything else.
I feel like I'm getting away when I get in
there and maybe going back in time a little bit
because I'm not always watching TV in there. Sometimes I'm
just listening to music or painting or petting the dog
(01:33):
or reading. It's where I have my weekend coffee in there.
And so it's kind of like we have an analog room.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We could take this big screen out of there.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But I think the living room is actually closer to
the room because there is no– by design, there's no screen.
And I don't think we've ever had anybody ask us
about that.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
No, it's a thing.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
But there's not– I mean, most people will now have
a screen in the kitchen or a screen– there's no–
that area is screen-free.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah. You know, it's about the decor and how comfortable
that main living room is. But our family room is different.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
There's something about it, though. We could literally get rid
of that screen in there, and it would be a
legit analog room.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Except football season's coming.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It's an older house, too, so that's part of it.
I mean, the reason it feels analog is because that
part of the house was built in the 70s.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I know. You have paneling up in there, and we
would be OG. Well, Murphy, what do.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
You think about getting rid of the TV and the— I.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Mean— No, got to keep one. You got to keep
one screen. I don't want to either.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Coming up at 6.50, three things to know to start
your day. And next, Sam is the food dude.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, I'm going to let you know what Reese's is
doing to make your Halloween candy shopping and handing out
the candy easier this year.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Sam's always up on the new eats.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
He's the food dude.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Reese's has this great idea that we're going to be
able to purchase this year for Halloween. It is a
giant plastic pumpkin that has your candy already in it.
And the candy that's in it is all Reese's.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Peanut butter cups. Because is there any other candy?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
No, there is not. Not for Easter, not for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That's my favorite thing about a Halloween candy bucket is
looking in it and your eyes scanning. And if you're
trick-or-treating and you're a kid and they say pick one,
that's an important question you are asked and you start looking.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Well, if you say pick one and they're all Reese's.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You know what else, though?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Everybody will love you.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I know you're going to want to go to the
house with just the Reese's bucket, but if you buy
the Reese's bucket and give it as a gift to
somebody in October, win.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
That's a win. Now, there's 110 pieces of candy in here,
all snack sizes.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And they've mixed them up. It's the peanut butter cups,
the ghosts, the Reese's pieces, and also peanut butter pumpkins.
That's actually genius.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I know.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I have no clue what the price is, but, you know. Priceless.
I don't know if a mortgage is involved or not.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, could be.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
If you love the taste of Little Debbie's pumpkin spice rolls,
but you're thinking, I sure wish I could get protein
in there.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Well, you're in luck because Rise, R-Y-S-E, they're a nutritional
supplement brand. They partnered with Little Debbie to bring us
pumpkin spice roll protein shakes.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Oh, so you're drinking it.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
30 grams of protein.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
And it's supposed to taste just like a little Debbie's roll.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Are they just testing it at pumpkin season? Because it
seems like she has 100 products you could add protein to.
You know?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yeah, little Debbie.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Little Debbie.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, but you're not adding them to the cakes. You're
adding them to the drink.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh, you're right. Thank you. That would be strange.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And if you're going to be on the road anytime
soon and you want to swing in and see the
beaver at Bucky's.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
We have pumpkin spice hot chocolate.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You know, in the packet, in the mix.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
You can make your own. And they also have a
ghoulish green hot chocolate. It changes color.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Always something new at the Beaver there.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
And Aldi, they want your help in choosing their next
coffee creamer. The flavor. Okay. They got eight of them
to choose from. Blackberry, cobbler, caramelized banana, honey vanilla, yada yada. Anyway,
you can go onto their website. You have until tomorrow.
That's when everything wraps up. 10 o'clock Eastern tomorrow morning.
to vote on which one you think they should put
(05:08):
in the store.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Do they have their own brand, or is it Burisimo
that's there?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Burisimo.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's their brand.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
So I've got the cinnamon roll version of that, which
is unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Thank you, Food Dude. Coming up next, your Hollywood outsider.
The latest buzz. Jodi's Hollywood Outsider. There's a movie opening
this week in theaters, Coyote vs. Acme, that has been
a long time coming because it was supposed to be
here in 2023, and then the studio shelved it because
of a tax write-off.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, they wanted to scrap it and take the tax break, apparently.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
This film follows Wile E. Coyote as he sues Acme
over its faulty product.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Have you been horribly injured by a product made by
the Acme Corporation? It's not your fault.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
There's probably someone to blame. I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Why has this taken so long to have the coyote sue?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
To describe it for you, it's live action meets that,
is it Looney Tunes? The cartoon. Yeah. So like Wile E.
Coyote's in it, but he's with like John Cena is
in it and Will Forte. They're in it.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
And weren't some of those actors the ones that lobbied
to bring it back? I mean, I can say in 2023,
you're still coming out of COVID and the theater business
wasn't so hot. I can see why they were worried
about it. But today would be prime.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Of course they were. But also fans, people who wanted
to see this and go watch the trailer. Because, I mean,
to me, I'm thinking I'm not interested in this. And
then I go watch it and that meep meep is perfect.
And then there's like Tweety is in it and Foghorn
Leghorn is in it. And even at the end.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
So what? What is up, Doc? Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's in theaters this weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Coming up next, it's Keep the Wow Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Keep the Wow Wednesday. This is when we ask you
to share your recent personal wows. And they can be
big life goals or they can be little things that
you are working on. Sometimes it's like, can I please
get my contacts in on the first try?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
For you.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That's mine.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That's a Jodi one, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Anyway, so keep the WOW Wednesday. This came in to murphysamandjodi.com.
It's from Martha. I have to tell you, I had
another WOW this week. I'm the person who contacted you
guys a week or so ago on WOW Wednesday about
writing a series of children's books.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
One of them being Andy the Ant Who Said I Can't.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I must have gotten to work before I heard you
talk about that on air that day. Because after a
review on Amazon, I found out that they had purchased
a book after hearing about it on your show. I
was able to find the segment on your YouTube channel.
Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of
my heart. I appreciate you sharing my wow. And this
week I have published three more to the series. I'm
(07:50):
also writing a memoir about being adopted from Germany and
then going back and meeting my birth mother when I
was in my 20s. Martha, you're a writer. Keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I've always kind of had this fantasy of being the
writer type because you picture them sitting in their own
little isolated room, whatever comforts and creative environment and all that,
and it being peaceful. And I'm sure that's not what
it is at all.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You know, I believe that writing is so much harder
than we know. And there are probably people who are
almost tortured by the ideas that they have in their head.
But having an idea is not the same as getting
it on paper. and getting it to make sense to
an editor or even just any audience. Everything is harder
than we think.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
What would you write about, Murphy?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh, I don't know what I would write about.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I don't know if you had a plan.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
No, I just pictured the act of it. Because I
like office supplies and school supplies.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
You could write a management motivational series.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, I guess I could. You could.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
If you let me do the foreword, that would be great.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Ha ha ha ha!
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Anyway, Martha, thank you for sharing your wow. One of
the books is Andy the Ant Who Said I Can't.
The other one is Lucy the Ladybug Who Had No
Spots and Sammy the Snail Who Was Too Slow. We
love you, Martha. Thank you so much. Share your wows
with us, little or big, 877-310-4MSJ. Up next, Jody has
three things to know today. Three things to know today.
(09:23):
Number one, the world has lost somebody we were not
prepared to lose. And then again, we may never really
lose her because you kind of feel like Dolly Parton
will always be with us. She passed away yesterday at
the age of 80. It was announced yesterday. And then
we had heard that it was after a brief battle
with cancer. I kind of thought we maybe would never know.
But I guess it was, you know, she had been
(09:44):
at the cancer center in Nashville, the Vanderbilt, Ingram.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
For a few days. For four days.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And it was, what, four days ago that she told
the world that she felt like she still had a
lot to do. Number two, the president has ordered all U.S.
flags to be flown at halftime. for a week. The
Empire State Building last night paid tribute with the entire
building lit up in pink in Dolly's honor.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Pink sparkles.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Right. And we do know that she will be buried
next to her husband, her husband Carl, of 59 years.
She will be in a comfortable cotton dress. But in
her signature high heels, it's another thing she requested.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
And it's supposed to be a private family ceremony, right?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Right, in Nashville. That's what we're hearing. And number three,
the Grand Ole Opry announced last night they're dedicating the
entire Saturday night show to her. And rightly so. I
think we're going to see more and more of that
as we all kind of grieve her together. And then Dolly,
a true original musical, that will proceed, by the way,
(10:43):
in December. It opens in New York.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And then it really opens for real, I guess.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
In January.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
On January 19th, which would have been her 81st birthday.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I would like to share a secret with everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Okay, Sam.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well, then it won't be a secret anymore, Sam.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Because it's something I can share now. This goes back
to my solo Sam weekend this past weekend. Bar Q
and Concert. I haven't told anybody this, but it was
kind of a personal retreat for me. I went into
it as a, not just a solo Sam trip. It
was a personal retreat to work on some anxiety issues.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
When I do these solo trips, I do it, number one,
to get away for enjoyment.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Part of being by yourself is you make all the decisions.
And there's a lot that when I take these trips,
I don't talk about this, but You know, it's like, okay,
when should I leave to get here? Is there going
to be traffic? I'm going to eat at this restaurant.
Let me check out the menu online so I know
what I'm doing. It's just a whole bunch of stuff
that a normal person would think is unnecessary.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
You're saying that this kind of stuff that is normal
in our lives, especially with travel, causes you a lot
of anxiety.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Well, it sounds like control anxiety, basically.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yes. Control anxiety. And so this trip was a little
bit of me working on just let it go.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Go with the flow.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
What? Go with the flow. When I went to Lockhart
to do the barbecue eating, you know, there was that line. Mm-hmm.
I might have not sat in that line before, but
I decided to sit, talk to people, chill. There was
a farmer's market in the city. I walked around a
little while at the farmer's market. I didn't have every
second of this trip planned out. Very smart.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
And that's unusual for you.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Yeah, because I do too much research, too much worrying,
too much. you know, boom to boom to boom to boom.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
This is so beautiful that you know you need to
work on this, that it's internal because no one else
would ever know that. Now, we work really close with
you and we've worked with you for so long. I
do know that you are a stickler for things going
the way they're supposed to go.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And it's like, sometimes to me, it's like, well, we
don't finish at 1030. We finish at 11. What difference?
What's the big diff?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
That is a whole nother problem I have too. When
things interrupt my schedule, my planned and my head schedule.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I can tell it tenses you.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well, you know, they say, and it's difficult to do.
I think it's even more difficult today to leave 50%
of your day open for emergencies because that's what's going
to happen.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
But it's more difficult now than it's ever been before.
But this is a really good step in the right direction.
If you take a breath and realize the world is
not on your schedule, unfortunately, then life gets easier.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Do you feel, though, that you got something out of it?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I felt like I accomplished. I didn't accomplish everything I
wanted to, but I accomplished concerts. I usually leave before
the last song to beat the traffic. I stayed the
whole time this time.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
All right.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yay, Sam. All right. So what's next? I got to know.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Actually, in truth, it's the morning pick-me-up. That's next.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Morning pick-me-up time. This is a back-to-school one about a
high school in Tulsa. You may have heard about this.
It's been trending since back-to-school happened for them at Bishop
Kelly High School. It's a small, private Catholic school and
They've had this tradition for years, forever, that on the
first day when freshmen show up and get dropped off
(14:13):
by their parents, that the seniors used to play pranks
on them. You know, getting out of the car and
walking into the school was a thing that you were
nervous about as a freshman because you knew you were
going to be pranked and somehow some sort of initiation. Well,
in 2001, the class of 2001 decides, 26 years ago,
decided let's just be kind. Let's do something good but
(14:35):
kind and welcome them to the school. And so what
they did was something called Kiss the Mom. If you
are a freshman and you are being driven in carpool
onto that campus, you cannot get out of the car.
Hundreds of seniors gather around the car, and they won't
let you out until you kiss your mom on the
cheek to say thank you for all of this. I'm
(14:58):
in high school now. You have to kiss your guardian
or someone who brought you We hold the car. We
hold the car door. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Preventing it from opening.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
It's like initiation.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
We all did it.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
How embarrassing was that?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Your heart starts thumping out of your chest. I'm not
a very huggy person. Now, those were some of the
freshmen who, you know, did it and got out. And,
of course, who do you think loves it the most?
Here's one of the administrators talking about it. And you
know who the happiest people are in this whole thing?
The mothers.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
There's a big moment for them, especially if it's their
first child or their last child.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
So emotional. I was crying yesterday and all morning, and
she asked me not to cry during the drop-off.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I think I did okay.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
The moment you drive off after dropping them to school
is when it hits you. He gave me that kiss,
and I saw him leave, and that meant I have
to let go.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
And the thing about it is, there's a lot of
kids who would just go, thanks, Mom. And who would
normally not necessarily give that love, who do it because
it's part of the process. They have to do it,
you know? And you heard one of the kids say,
I'm not really this person, but you do it, and
it means a lot. So they really do. This was
just from the other day when they surrounded the cars.
(16:12):
And that's after the kiss.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's really sweet. Your morning picked me up. And coming
up next, Jodi has your Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Trending now.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Jodi's Hollywood outsider.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Of course, we all know we've lost a unicorn with
the loss of Dolly Parton yesterday at the age of 80.
And so a lot of people who actually worked with
her have shared and you're seeing all of that on
social media. But there was one thing that was posted
yesterday on social that I had to stop and screenshot
and take a minute. And that was something posted by Eminem.
(16:49):
It's a letter on Dolly Letterhead. You know the Dolly signature. Well,
she had her own letterhead, and it was a letter
written to him in 2022 when they were both inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that same year.
And it says, Marshall, and in parentheses, Eminem. Congratulations on
your induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Your performance was amazing, and everybody said so. Even though
(17:12):
I don't know a lot about rap music, I've come
to know that you were the very best at it.
Aside from that, Hmm.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
In the meantime, keep doing what you're doing because you
do it so well. And no matter how complex your
world may be, just know you are very special and
touch people in ways you don't even know. With love
and respect, Dolly Parton. That was on Dolly Letterhead to
Eminem in 2022.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Coming up at 7.50, three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. We shared the
burger that I ate the other night. I rarely order
a cheeseburger, but I ordered one, and it showed up
like a work of art. It's a gorgeous picture, and
it came with a sliced grilled pickle on the side.
And on top of this burger were grilled pickles with, like, seasoning, too.
(18:23):
Not just grilled.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You know, even before I went to go, I didn't
try it, but looking at that, that's a presentation. That's really,
that is the art of plating right there.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
It elevates any sandwich to put something on it that's unexpected.
Something that's unexpected on a sandwich will just make you think, oh,
it's the greatest one I've ever had. And it's true
for burgers as well. So Danny said, anytime we go
to a restaurant, we had asked on social media, anytime
we go to a restaurant, I have a burger with
a fried egg on it and I always have to
get it. Diane said grilled bell pepper strips.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
That sounds good.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, that does sound good.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Some other suggestions we had heard were like pepper jelly
on a burger, which I would do in a heartbeat.
You had suggested... Pimento cheese.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah, pimento cheese.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I can't remember. Do you do anything unusual in your burgers, Murphy?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
No, not really.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I know.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I mean, I'm sort of a burger purist. I'm about
the meat and just simple.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I like hot stuff on a burger. I like jalapenos
and stuff like that. Patty said, I've had grilled pineapple
on a turkey sandwich, and I think I'd like to
try it on a burger.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I had it on a burger one time.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You did?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
It was good.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I'm surprised you ate that, Sam.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Every now and then, because when you see those things
on the menu, it's like, oh, let.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Me try it. You could always pull it right off
of there if it doesn't work for you, couldn't you?
Stephen just says lots and lots of ketchup.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Lisa says chips.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
She likes chips on her burger. I've never done that.
That's good on a sandwich. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I've done it on sandwiches, never on a burger.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Any kind of chip, any kind of chip. Murphy, see
Murphy at home is at the, you're at the mercy
of me with whatever I make. Because I'll make a
sandwich for him and I'll throw something unusual on it.
And you're like, man, what's this? And it's like, it's
just Italian dressing. I'll say stuff like that. And he's like, oh,
it's great.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Judith.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
It's true. You are good at the surprise.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Peanut butter and bacon. Both peanut butter and bacon.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
And I've heard, I mean, there are plenty of burger
joints that now actually sell them that way.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
And it's different. It's one of those where, yeah, it's good,
but you can't do that every time.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's heavy. And Marie, a burger at a place that
I had had fried jalapenos. Not soggy, but crunchy.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
That's a good twist on things if you like jalapenos.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Keep it coming. Coming up next, three things to know today.
Three things to know today. All of these things about
Dolly Rebecca Parton, who passed away at the age of
80 yesterday. We all feel this together. There was no
one in the world like her. We lose her. And
then she's she's everywhere, though.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
And she always every generation.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
She always will be. Dolly's funeral will be a small,
intimate affair in Nashville. We've been told that should be
laid to rest in Woodlawn Memorial Park. in her signature
high heels, and then a light cotton dress, which is
something she asked for because the rhinestones of her life
were so heavy. Number two, also wanted you to know
this incredible behind-the-scenes story. There's so many. In 1964, when
(21:17):
she graduated high school, she moved to Nashville the next day.
Talk about somebody who knew what she wanted to do.
And the record label had her writing pop music first.
She begged to write country music, and they were like, no, write.
And finally they came along and said, okay. You can
write country music. And her first one was called Dumb Blonde.
And number three, realize she really is everywhere. You know,
(21:39):
she has a dedicated line of pet apparel and accessories.
Dolly Parton baking kits are all over the stores. She
had a cosmetics line that was launched in 2024. The unexpected,
I guess, newest, the Tennessean Travel Stop. She made her
last public appearance there. just two months ago at the
travel stop upon its opening. And then, of course, the
(22:00):
Dolly Parton Songteller Hotel will open in Nashville this October.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
You're up to date.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Top mistakes that dads-to-be make in the delivery room. This
is based on, this is from a labor and delivery
nurse who has done thousands of births and been there
thousands of times. And by the way, I want to
just say up front, I do want to hear from
you guys about how you felt about being in that
room because it's very different than the mom's perspective. But
(22:33):
she does say that most dads are fine, caring and attentive.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I'm sure most are.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
There's only some that are like the red flag dads.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But if you're the first time dad, you don't know.
You're already nervous anyway about what do I do.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Is that what you felt like? You felt nervous? Like,
what do I do?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I mean, I think that the mistakes that I learned,
the things not to do, to be honest with you,
was because my sister was the first in the family
to actually have kids.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
And so, you know, I made those mistakes with her.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Just like looking at the monitor and I was joking
about things. It's like, all right, whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh, yeah, you were.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
She's in pain and I'm sitting there pointing at the
monitor going, oh, here comes another big one. Can't do that.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, you sure did. Bless her. I know. Bless her.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
So anyway, yep.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Sam, were you in the delivery room for some of
the kids?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah, for some of them. And, yeah, I was nervous
about it.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I can see that. I believe it.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
I don't think I asked any dumb questions.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Good. Were you attentive and caring?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
I think so, yeah. I mean, for number two, you know,
we brought along a jam box and we had some
CDs that we had chosen just for this. No, I
mean relaxing CDs.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Of course, nice.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Rock and roll, and I was in charge of that.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
That's sweet. Okay, so you were like the DJ.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Hey, I'm coming up next. That was a while ago, obviously,
with the CDs. So the Red Flag Dads, the worst
things she has seen. Please don't do this. If you're
a dad-to-be, don't do these things. Being interested... Being very
concerned with being entertained. Like, can we watch TV? Can
I hook up my Xbox? She's seen that.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Oh, really?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Don't do that.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I would think that would be no duh.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Being on your device the whole time in a meeting.
You know, if you're going to be working or in
a meeting, you should leave the room. There was a
time when dads weren't allowed in delivery rooms. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I thought it was kind of a blessing and gift
actually to be able to be there for both of us.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Correct. The other two big no-nos that she has seen,
and it's a low percentage, but the other one's like
showing up absolutely having had some alcohol.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
You're nervous.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Really?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, and she's also seen them flirting with the nurses
and being inappropriate. Do not be that guy. You would
lose me in that moment. Do not be that guy.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
There's going to be more difficulty coming after the birth.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
You better believe it. And on top of her postpartum,
you better believe it.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
All right, coming up next, Sam has music news.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
And, of course, today it's all things Dolly.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Sam's got music news.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
With all the trivias to Dolly Parton all over social media,
a lot of things I saw on my feed yesterday
that were brought up were things I didn't know before
about Dolly.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Or some of the memories that came back like, oh, yeah,
I remember that. Two months ago, her last public appearance,
I think you said this in Three Things, Jodi, was
at the truck stop she just opened.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yes, Tennessee Inn.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
The Dolly's Tennessee Inn truck stop. Did you know that
they also have a jingle for that one? I found that.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Dolly! Tennessee Inn truck stop. Tennessee Inn truck stop.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Ha ha ha!
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
She always had something up those rhinestone sleeves.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Oh, yeah. And I don't know if you remember this one,
but just recently, Sabrina Carpenter, her song Please, Please, Please,
she did a version with Dolly.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I have one idea, babe. Maybe just stay inside.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I know you'll crave me some fresh air, but the
ceiling fan is so.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
I remember that, yeah. 2022 was when she was inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And part
of the, you know, they do the big jam at
the end where everybody sings.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
They did Jolene, and everybody was up there. Pat Benatar, Pink,
Simon LeBron, Annie Lennox, Sheryl Crow, Rob Halford from Judas Priest.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I'm begging of you, please don't leave.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
And you can hear her above everybody else.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
They all took their turns doing little solos.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
I completely forgot that when Whitney Houston won the Grammy
for I Will Always Love You, Dolly Parton's the one
who announced it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And the Grammy goes to.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Whitney Houston!
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Wow. That's wild.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It's almost like if she had not won, that would
have been like, oh, poor Dolly, too.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
You know, she was up for an Oscar in 2006
for a song from, I can't remember the name of
the song, Traveling Through was the song, but she was
up against 3-6 Mafia. They're the ones who won that year.
She wrote them a letter like she wrote Eminem, congratulating
them and saying, She didn't really care because they're bringing
the statue back to Tennessee, you know, them being from Memphis.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Right. And... So much.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
All the fun stuff Dolly used to do, she was
on The Simpsons.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Cleaning lady, would you let us out of here?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Me?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I'm Dolly Parton.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I didn't ask for your life story. Just give me
the key.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
And, of course, the Q & A on Kelly Ripa.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
These are rapid-fire questions. You just answer the first thing
that comes to your mind.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Favorite color? Claro, number 249.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
So, she was always so funny. Coming up next, your
Hollywood outsider. Jodi's Hollywood outsider. Allow me, in this outsider,
to talk personally about what Dolly Parton meant to me.
I did love her movie career. My favorite character was
Truvy from Still Night, Milius. I don't like Belmar Minion.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I don't trust anybody that does their own hair. I
don't think it's normal.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
But honestly, for what she's, I know what she is
for music and entertainment and for all of us, but
for women specifically, the first time I sat up and
really thought, wow, I need to pay attention to this woman,
was when I saw that old, old Barbara Walters interview
where Barbara Walters asked her about the way she dressed.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Here it is. You're very beautiful. You don't have to
wear the blonde wigs. You don't have to wear the
extreme clothes, right?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
No, it's certainly a choice. I don't like to be
like everybody else. I've often made the statement that I
would never stoop so low as to be fashionable. That's
the easiest thing in the world to do. So I
just decided that I would do something that would at
least get the attention. Once they got past the shock
of the ridiculous way I looked and all that, then
they would see there was something. a part of me
(28:49):
to be appreciated. I'm very real.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
The other thing about it is they went on, it
was kind of a long interview, of course, but she
basically told Barbara, I like myself. I'm secure in the
way I am, and this is how I want to be.
And it's such a great lesson, especially for women, to
not look to the world to tell you who you are,
if you're right or wrong.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Well, and the controversial question that Barbara asked her about,
you know, if somebody considered her a hillbilly, Right. And
her answer was that she would just kick them in
the shin.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
It's Keep the Wow Wednesday. Keep your wows coming, little
or big, whatever you are personally celebrating. We will clap
for you. 877-310-4MSJ. Sam, you went on a solo trip
this past.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Weekend. And one thing that you mentioned yesterday was that
you feel discombobulated in a hotel room.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Every trip, I wind up misplacing stuff in the room. Now,
I know it's in the room, so there's not that
complete loss.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
So common.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
It's not where I put it at home, so it
could be anywhere.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
So both of you already know that my uptightness with
air travel is something that I'm very diligent about time
on that. I'm the same way in a hotel room,
especially when I'm traveling by myself, because all of my
stuff is ready to— if I had to leave the room immediately—
It's ready to go.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Like all in one spot?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yep. Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
And the other thing, and I know you don't like
packing cubes, but the packing cubes eliminate that.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Seriously.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
They do.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
You know why? Because all your stuff is in one place.
It's designated and it goes with you. And so the
combination of that and the fact that I set up
everything that I need to when I get in the
room with places, but everything is compartmentalized. My overnight bag
is where everything stays. I do not unload it onto
the counter. You know, I work out of the bag.
(30:47):
My packing cubes, same thing. So everything stays in one space.
And instead of me looking for 15 things when I'm
about to leave the room, I only have a handful.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I think you have to travel, like, by yourself for
business over time to realize. Because the first time, when
you're younger and you first start doing that, traveling alone,
and you get to the hotel room, you're like, okay.
And just like, whatever. I'll use that tomorrow. And you
don't think about it. And then you're completely discombobulated. But
the more you do it, you realize. And packing cubes
come in handy for real. You know what I put
(31:19):
in my packing cubes now? Wow. And I keep them
in a packing cube in the room. Anything and all
things electronic.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Oh, yeah. Me too. I've got one bag for that.
All of that.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Because otherwise, I will spend 10 minutes looking. Where's my charger?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
You know, maybe I need to buy... one packing cube
a couple just for the electric no i have no
problem with the clothes shoes all that stuff what i'm
talking about is where's whatever you miss where'd i put
my wallet where'd i put the keys where are my.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Glasses what out whatever you're naturally losing in a hotel
room you should condense to one little packing cube or
area yeah okay maybe.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
One okay.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Here's three things to know today. Number one, all things
to know today about the world grieving the loss of
someone we cannot imagine living without, and that's Dolly Parton.
Died yesterday at the age of 80 after a brief
battle with cancer. We knew that she was battling something.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
But she was so positive and you never thought anything
was going to happen.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Four days ago, she said she felt like she still
had more to do. The funeral will be a small,
intimate affair in Nashville. She'll be laid to rest in
her signature high heels is what we have been told.
Number two, the president has ordered all U.S. flags to
be flown at half staff for a week. The Empire
State Building paid tribute last night with the entire building
(32:41):
lit up in pink rhinestones.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
In her honor.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
To me, do that all week, too. We'll see. The
Grand Ole Opry announced last night that they're dedicating the
entire Saturday night show to her, of course.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Oh, that'll be cool.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I know.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
And then Dolly, a true original musical, that will go on.
It starts, like, it opens in New York in December,
and then it for real opens on January 19th next year,
which would have been her 81st birthday. And number three,
you know she's going to be with us forever. The
Imagination Library, that will continue. In 2022, her Dollywood company,
(33:16):
announced that they would cover 100% of tuition and fees
and books for their employees. You know that, right? If
you work there, you can go to school. Thanks to Dolly.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
That's one of the most amazing campaigns.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Ever, honestly.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
And there's much, much more as we grieve and the loss,
we all feel it together, of Dolly Parton. You're in
the know. Three things to know today.
