Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody Daily Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
The best dog breeds that are recommended to help with
an owner's anxiety, meaning the top therapy dog breeds.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Okay, one of the times.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Not a Chihuahua, because they're nervous dogs to begin with, right,
they make you nervous because they're nervous.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I want to say I had a Chihuahua years ago
before I knew you, Murphy, and I loved that little thing.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Was his name Peppy?

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh that's so sweet. Well, you know, we had.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Didn't name him, but I did love him.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
So, you know, we had our friends, Brett and Jody
had one who passed. What was his name, my love, No, no, no, Tiger, Tiger,
and Tiger was the one that was It was really
funny because he was kind of the classic little shaky dog.
But he would look you in the eye and they
would call him soul liess because he didn't look like
it was much there. So maybe maybe you're right.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
He did have a lot of love. I disagree. Yeah,
he just had problem. I'm showing it anyway. So the
number one is a breed I know very little about.
I can't even pronounce it. Help me say, I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Newfoundland, Newfoundland.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Those big fluffy, fluffy dogs. They are known for being uber,
calm and steady.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
And it's not a Newfoundland.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, any of those, I guess any of those in that.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
I've never heard of that.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well, I don't know, because we we adopt from shelters.
That's why I don't thinkand's the shelter.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
They're cute and furry.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Let's look a lot of hair, strong attacks attachment to
their humans, and they're majorly calm. So man, you get
home after a rough day and you snuggle with that
thing and you feel it. They're frequently used as therapy dogs.
The other one's no surprise here. Lab Labrador retrievers always
on the top of the list, the most popular in
the US for decades.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
They're eager to please. You know, our champ is a lab.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
He is he's a mixed but yeah, he's mostly loud.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
They thrive on routine and human interaction. The other one
in the list Golden Retrievers. Gentle nature. You know, emotional awareness.
Something's wrong with you, they know it. They bond with you,
and they make great companions because they just don't They
usually don't have any of that weird craziness that certain breeds.
You know, it's a certain percentage of crazy that that
could come out.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
What about boxers, because you and I had those to
start with, You're not on the list really, and they
were great with our girls when they were little bitty,
even though.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
They were escape artists and they chewed our bed to pieces.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
That's right, I would still get anxiety.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I would still get a boxer.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
And the other one that's surprisingly on this list retired
racing greyhounds. They need a good run every day, but
they're extremely laid back the.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Rest of the time.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
You guys got giddy about your first ever Waimo ride
your self driving car ride that you took, and we
did a whole after the show podcast on it last
week if you want to go, you know here Murphy
and Sam fangirling over that technology.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Awesome. It was in Los Angeles. It's not like Waymo's
everywhere yet, so it was a trip that we were
on and yeah, we saw it approaching.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
It's like, got to ride this, both of you at
the same time, different cars, but got you guys got
in there just before there was a pause in the service.
You know about that, right, Oh, last week there was
a pause in the service in certain areas, and Los
Angeles was one of them. San Francisco was one. Phoenix
was one where they paused it because they're trying to upgate,

(03:31):
upgrade the way more performance in construction zones.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
They had problems with weather.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
In Atlanta, they had waymos that would just stop because
of standing water problems that they didn't didn't have real
answers for before they you know, launched the surface well.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
And the cars are learning the whole time. That's what's
crazy about it. Yeah, a construction I get now it navigated.
I wondered about weather because it's just like these are cameras.
It's like, if if it's blinding rain, how can the
vehicle fund exactly exactly.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
I think the one in Atlanta that had a problem
that drove into a flooded area and just like.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
And just like, I'm sorry, oops, I was supposed to
do this.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
But anyway from our Instagram and Facebook pages and comments,
Beth says, no way, meaning she would not ride in
a self driving car. I didn't because I don't I'm
not ready for that. Anyway, she says, I saw them
in Austin. Also, they are not They are known to
not stop for school buses. That said that, so that

(04:27):
needs to be also worked on too. I'd be surprised
considering you guys experiencing it and all that it could
do and as safe as you felt. That surprises me too,
That's what she's heard anyway.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Well, I guess it has to learn situations. That's really
what's crazy about this is as it's out there, that's
what it's doing. You know, mine was actually able to
rid give you there. Yeah, mine made a left turn
in an with not a protected arrow. It waited for
traffic and it turned. It was a four lane highway.
It waited for all the cars to pass, and then
it made the left and it was just like that

(04:59):
was the only other moment that I was a little yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Curious to see you make all the noises.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
No, but it was correctly, Linda said, no way, some
things are just not needed or trustworthy.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Keep it coming, you know, we love to hear from you.
Jody's Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Just when you think there are all the ideas for
a scary movie or story have already been done, here
comes another one.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Netflix just dropped a trailer for their new creepy movie
called The Last House, and it's about a family who
they discover one day their front door won't open and
they can't leave their house. And then they realized through
the windows that their neighbors can't leave either. Okay, and
then it's days and days and even years into the years.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Here's a little taste for you.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Why don't we do.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Their stocks? They even run out of food.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Well, yeah, if they can't get out, this is going
to end one day.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
So they have to find ways, and they find ways.
Like the story is, so why are you stuck? How
do you handle being stuck? Remind you of COVID right stuck?
And then one day out of the window you see
like wildlife taking over the world changing.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
It's a crazy You have to go watch this trailer
and then when you do, you're gonna be sucked in.
If you ever watched Narcos on Netflix, because the actor
Wagner Mora, who played Pablo Escobar, is the dad, I
was like, oh my gosh, wait, is there a cartel
part of this?

Speaker 3 (06:37):
But it's not.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Anyway, it's a creepy new movie. It's called The Last House.
Go check it out, and we get it by the
way in August. I just finished a binge that was
hard to finish, so I want to bring you up
to speech, and I started reading a book.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Ladies.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I don't think this is your kind of book, Sam.
I know that you and I have sort of a book.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
She says, Ladies, you have to say, oh, but not you, Sam.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
I can always tell when Jody's really into one of
these two because it's like an every night thing.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
So first with the documentary that I finally finished. You
know that I was a little obsessed with the Jeffrey
Epstein case for the last year. But there's almost too
much to know, Like you could follow it for years
and there's still more information and so took. It's a
deep dive sort of case if you're into true crime.
But there is a four part documentary on Netflix that

(07:31):
is based on the writings of James Patterson based on
the Jeffrey Epstein case called Filthy Rich, And it's also
a documentary The.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Disgrace Fanci or Jeffrey Epstein Is Dead?

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Is this a new document a new ish?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
It took me a long time to I don't know
when it dropped, but I will say this, thank you
for being in four parts because there are times when
I don't.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Feel like feeling that feel filth, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Not an easy subject, it's not.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
But the victim told their stories. Here you get to hear,
you know, prosecution side of it, you get to hear
law enforcement side of it, and.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
It's really well done.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
So if you want to understand more about that case,
they take you right up until the end. Now they
don't take you to today because there's still stuff going on.
But I finished that. But for something lighter, if you want,
you know, some fiction in your life, because that was
definitely not fiction. I did pick up a new book
the author of The Help. You remember the book The
Help that.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Became an academy of the movie.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Oh that book was so good.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Her name is Catherine Stockett, and I always remember thinking,
when is she going to give us another book? Murphy
and I are strolling through a bookstore the other day
and I just saw it, and I saw her name,
and my heart just raced, and so I picked it up.
It's called The Calamity Club, Okay. It's set in the
nineteen twenties nineteen thirties at a girl's orphanage and it's

(08:55):
going to take me all summer to read it because
I do have to take breaks from.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
It because it's hard.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
It is it a hard book, not just because it's
it's long.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Simplicity.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's a difficult story told from the girl's point of view.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
But it is really good. Highly recommend. Direct message us
on Facebook.

has that heard you guys talking about mosquito discs.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Oh yeah, I think we called them dunks. Yeah, but he's.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Saying dunks is what they're actually called.

rid of mosquitos and you're on your patio Sam his capital.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yees, they work, Yes, they work.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
I have a pond in my backyard and I have
used it in the pond for the last three years.
It is a fishing pond and they have not killed
the fish or turtles.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Okay, Well, good, that's good to know. That was my concern.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
See I put one dunk at a five gallon bucket.
I don't know how many.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Hold on, we're going to get to it. This is
a complete description from Carl. It goes on to read,
I have not yet. I have not had one mosquito
in three years. But you have to use them in
the spring to get a jump on them.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Oops.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Okay, if you use a bucket like you were talking about,
your pond will overpower it and you will still have them.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Ouch, Sam, Sorry, And then the final.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
No, see that's actually and I'm glad you said. I'm sorry.
It just hit me delayed reaction here, you know, because
we were Sam was going to do it on his patio.
But you do have a pond of shared pond with neighbors.
Get and I can see how that would overpower Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah, good to know.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Good point.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Well, I think you girl one in the bucket. I
still have five left, so I can go.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
And then the final thing from Carl, which you'll love
this as well. The ones from Walmart worked just as
well as the expensive ones.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Okay, I got my home Depot six for nine nine.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
They don't make great value dunks.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
I mean if they do that, that sounds like a
great value to me. Yeah, all right, So Thank you
for that, Carl Man. Yeah, not a mosquito in three years,
and he has a pond that's incredible, and the turtles
and are fine.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
You know.

Speaker 4 (11:15):

about last year. Not Aunt, my uncle aunt, but you

bug begun.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah.

all last year. I've done it again this year. Still

and I've got piles all over the place, Aunt piles.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
All right, thank you for that, Carl, Jump in anytime.
Ideas for a low spend summer. You know what low
spend means, You spend a lot of money. Correct, Like
the summers I used to have. I only went on
one vacation my whole child and I still had great summers.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Wait one out of your entire childhood, or one a
year in.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Your entire childhood once to the Smoky Mountain once?

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Okay, in our entire childhood. Did we go on actual vacation?
You know this?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Mark?

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Well, yeah, I know that, but I didn't believe it. Well, no,
I mean you did. We did the same kind of
vacations that you would do, though that would be motel
down the street kind of the thing. Often.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
I was invited once in a great while to that.
My brother was invited to that all the time. I
got to go once in a great while in your family, Yeah,
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Invite you while it was a sunlight thing, red hair,
fair skin.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
No, not my mom and dad, other family members who
would like to take who took my brother places?

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Sometimes?

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Sometimes those are the ones who are looking at us
from below?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Anyway? Yes, can we just talk about low spin summer?

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah? Okay, not below spends.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
The ideas if you you know, budgets are a real thing,
and maybe you're not doing the big vacation this year,
or you know, you only get so many summers with
your children. You only get so many summers in your life,
and so some of the sweetest things that they will
enjoy are not trips to Disney so ideas you ready,
I want some from you guys too, But water balloons.

(13:13):
Water balloons are a blast. They are especially for kids.
You've never experienced them before.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Why did you make that face. You don't like it,
fine snow cones.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
Hey keep going.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Oh okay, mister money bags over here, you're the most
frugal person I know.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
I don't know what's your snow is going to be exciting?
Low spend stuff.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, these are kids who doesn't love a snow count everything.
I think. I think what Jodie's trying to say there,
which is is true because I remember there were years
my parents couldn't afford to do everything that we wanted
to do. They always managed to find some way to
go to the beach, even if we were staying at
really really.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Cheap because that was important to them.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, exactly, It's like we had to do our own
pest control.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
At least you got to do that every summer. But
your hotel roun all right anyway?

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Hot dog party, pizza party, yeah, you know, sleeping in
the living room, camping outside if it's not too hot,
chasing the ice cream truck.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Ah, that's sweet.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's not good enough for saying he apparently went to
Disney every summer morning. Picked me up time.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
I have to tell you guys about something so stink
and cute that my country girl heart can't resist it. Okay,
and it's hopefully going to happen all over the country.
It's definitely happening just outside of DC. There's a business
a man who formed a company because he had bought
a farm and he realized that there was some sheep
on the farm.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
You know, it sounds like a nursery rhyme.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
There was some sheep that they were so good at
cutting eating all the grass, and taking care of all
the vegetation. He formed a company called law SOPs Lamb Mowers.
Get it, the lamb mowers, right.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Oh okay, yeah, sorry, umschl.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
So you can call on them and they he'll bring
them like this whole flock of lambs, older ones, big ones, daddies, mommies, babies,
and they will clean up your vegetation.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
These are baby doll South Down sheep. They're an heirloom
breed that as really people friendly and easy to control.
So for a suburban environment it's ideal.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
It's so cute.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
He shows up, he lets them out of the trailer,
they start eating grass. He puts fencing around where it's needed.
But it's not just cutting the grass. If you have
grown up areas, like if you've got poison ivy, you've
got weeds, it's two hours for a session. It's like
one hundred and ninety five dollars for a two hour visit.
And not only do they do it better and you

(15:46):
don't have to hear the noise, but the people report
taking off days from work just so they.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Can watch it, so they can wipe on two hours.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Absolutely, And if you have a bigger area, that's you know,
I don't know. Let's just say you have a whole
neighborhood that you need, you can hire them for overnight
and it's called a sheep over.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
And they do the work to clean up anything in
the yard after.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
You know, I don't know about that, but it'd still
be worth it, you know, just to experience it and
see it.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
They're really cute.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
They're like the AI of the landscaping business, aren't they
the robots or whatever. I know, they're real animals, but
I'm just saying that's a you.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Know, it's beautiful, and in certain neighborhoods, people will like
keep their kids out of school for them when they
say they.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Can just watch them do the huh looking in your
backyard seeing a bunch of sheep and.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Then when it's time for him to get them all together.
He knows how to call them, get them back in
the truck.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
What god shit shakes the food ball and they run
into the truck.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
It'll be something more technical.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
They're called lamb moowers social media connect we shared.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Online the Murphy salmon Jody.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Recipe s a L M O N if you.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Don't mind, sam that that's what I call it at
home when I make a big salmon, I buy like
a big salmon. You can buy it sliced uff already
and you can cook it this way.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
But we shared it. It's a super easy method was like.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
A massive one from Costco though, right.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, this feeds us for a week.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
It probably costs two bucks of Costco.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
No, it doesn't cost two but still and all you
all I do is score it, you know, and then
I season it and then I drizzle a little bit
of olive oil, cook it for like forty.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Minutes at four hundred What are you season it with? Whatever?
I feel like it?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Like the last time I did it, I grabbed what
was in front of me and it was like this.
It's called buttery garlic seasoning, and I just put it
all over and I added some garlic powder just to
make it a little more Yeah, this time, and we
ate it on salad. I ate it the next day
on bread like we just ate it. I think we
even had leftovers, Murphy sadly like, and some of that

(17:56):
we had to get rid.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Of, and then the raccoon grab some of it.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Other story, Okay, Shelley says, poor Sam loved the name.
But poor Sam anyway, it's just to play on words.
Nicole said, I'm always afraid to cook salmon. I'm afraid
of cooking it too much and making it turn out dry.
But this looks easy, Nicole, It's never turned out dry.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
In fact, it hasn't, you know. Jody likes salmon more medium. Well,
so i'll tell you that.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
You know, if you don't like it to jiggle, if.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
You like, you know, the innerside and the inside not
to jiggle, but to be you know, medium, still flapping.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Do you think I cook it too much?

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Well no, but you cook it to your taste. A
restaurant would not cook it that far, I think, but said,
if it's not bad, no, no, I'm serious.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Making sure Irene sent this. It looks delicious. I don't
have a stove or oven. Right now, I wonder if
I could cook it in an air and I'm sorry,
in an electric skillet. I think yes, any fish fish
is the easiest thing to cook.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
You have to know that.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, I mean you're just pan frying at your point.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Gentle with it.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
You'll know when it's ready because it'll flake with a
fork if you don't like it.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Jigli like me, so keep it coming. We like having
you along.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
You can also call anytime eight seven seven three one
zero four msj.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Trending now, Jody's Hollywood outsider. Pixar has a lot coming
our way.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
You know about Toy Story five, but they've also dropped
a trailer, a teaser trailer of their next big, big thing,
which we get next year. There's a whole new feature
film coming with voice actors Mark Ruffalo and Lawrence Fishburn. Okay,
it's called Gotto. It's a movie about a cat in
Venice who finds himself indebted to a to rocco, the

(19:41):
local feline mob boss cats cats on the street.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
It wasn't me Dot, Yeah, where is the tun Do.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
You tell the truth?

Speaker 3 (19:55):
The things are gonna get pretty gol. You have to
hear it.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
To understand how good this can be. Remember the first
time you saw I remember going to the I guess
it was up the movie thinking I don't want to
see a movie about fish and then Nemo had me.
They had me at Hello so Kats on the Street
and one of them was a mob boss played by
Laurence Fishburn.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
It's called Gotto.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
We don't get it until next year, so look for that.
Also some big news for Vegas. Baby, the Rocky Horror
Picture Show is coming to the Sphere in Vegas.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
That is going to be wild.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
You know. They did like The Wizard of Oz at
the Sphere, so they'll probably have to do some editing
to make it fit that big screen. But that one
has been you know, late night theaters for fifty years
and now in Vegas. I was happy to learn and
share in Three Things to Know the other day about
MIT about to release an at home lime disease test kit,

(20:56):
which I know it sounds ugy, but because of.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Tics, well is a serious disease, so it's a good
thing to catch before you know.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
I know, they they developed it and they're gonna release
it and limited availability, but like if you and it's gross,
but it's tick season. You know, if you're like in
the woods, you gotta be careful what comes back with you.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah, it's gross, But we have.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
An email from Johnny who heard that three things today.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
Johnny got a.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
Response for you. You guys were talking about ticks. I
grew up in eastern Kentucky and I had tics most
every day on me, some embedded, some not Wait.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Whoa embedded meaning the head in Okay, so when they
get on you, they're not immediately in.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
No, they aren't, but it's their jaws that are going
into you.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Okay, I'll never have one on me, all right, Well,
Johnny continues.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
As for how to remove a tick, it is correct
that they will back out if heat has applied, such
as a hot match.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
You were the one.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Sam told us that that there's supposedly a cigarette trick.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
I'm like, yeah, but they recommend against that because it
actually speaking, it causes the tick to whatever fluids he's got.
He's going to do.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
What could possibly go wrong with putting a hot cigarette
near your skin?

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Gross?

Speaker 4 (22:16):
Anyway, he says, he will. They will also back out
if you smother them in acid tone.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Oh well, I have plenty of that. Handy mail polish
stuff is male polish and polish removed.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
It's a remover. It's a remover.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
But what my dad did, because I grew up in
the country and there were tick situations with our dogs
and he would, I want to say, little what do
you call those little things?

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Tweezers? He would pull them off with tweezers.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
And that's actually the right way to do it.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
My daddy, and Johnny continues or use very fine tweezers
to pull them out.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
There you go, Johnny, that's the what we were reading
online about. That is medically speaking, that's the preferred way
to do it, because everything else can cause the tick
to introduce fluids.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
And I can still get tick bites even though I
live in the city now. Only last summer I had
to take antibiotics for one.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Oh, Johnny.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, And that's the thing. Line. Disease totally treatable with antibiotics.
The key is, just like anything else, making sure that
you go to the block when you think that you might, and.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
When you come in from high risk areas, check your clothing,
check your backpack, check your jackets.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
Just check.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
And tomorrow we're going to tell you how to remove TikTok.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
It is okay to be a little obsessed with certain things.
In fact, we've asked what is your harmless obsession? We've
talked about it before. We all know that Sam's is
Star Wars. Yeah, that's pretty harmless when you start talking
about it, and there's a point when usually about thirty
seconds in, you stop and.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
You like, because I realize I'm nerding out. Yeah, and
I'm saying things that people have no clue what I'm
talking about.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, and that's harmless. Yeah it is. Would you you
have a harmless pizza upset? Would you say you're obsessed
with pizza?

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (24:02):
I mean I have two pizza ovens.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah. So see, there you go, another harmless obsession.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Murphy has an obsession and it's harmless. It's actually probably
helpful management books, if we can.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Just management books, self help books, just the whole genre
between the two.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's mostly about career growth, though and professional growth. And
so that's told saying if we walk into a bookstore,
he's walking out with that one of those books.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Yeah, you just are. And it's a harmless, maybe helpful obsession.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
So we asked on our Facebook page and Instagram and
for you to weigh in, Wade says, I'm obsessed with
anything that has to do with sasquatch or Bigfoot. I'm
not saying I'm a believer. I'm open minded, but I
watch every show and have hats and t shirts.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
I get that. It's you could almost call that a genre,
almost because it's been around for so long.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
I mean, I've watched a bunch of those shows too,
but really, like, I don't believe.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Any Okay, well it's hardly yes.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
You know Lockmass and Scott Sasquatch.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
No, I think as long as it's harmless, there's nothing
wrong with being a little bit obsessed with something like that,
and you'll catch yourself.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Just like you said, what.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Is your harmless obsession? What do you consider?

Speaker 4 (25:12):
We already know it's Keith and Nicole.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
I do. I do like one harmless Okay, you know
it's Game of Thrones.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Oh yeah, Oh well that's true. Now you've backed off
of that one a little bit. But yeah, there was
a time where you were rewatching and rewatching self regulating.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
But if I hear people talking about it, it would
be physically impossible to stop me from going over and
getting it.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
That's crazy. Yeah, I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
You haven't watched nine of the Seven Kingdoms? Have you?

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Oh you did.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
I loved it.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
Oh, okay, I loved it. Yeah it was great.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Amy said, bath and body works candles here.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Oh yeah, harmless subsession.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
I bet your house smells great, Amy, And one of
my favorites was one of the first comments that rolled in.
It's from Joshua. His harmless obsession is doing paid surveys.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Oh, taking surveys like online surveys. Yeah, and gets. I
can see that.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah, I'd say that's helpful. Yeah, okay, keep it coming.
We love having you along. What is your harmless obsession?
Eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ. It may
seem like a weird thing to talk about, but how
to use an airplane bathroom the airplane lavatory. If you've
never done it, you have to learn that on the job.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
You know what that is?

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Time you ever do.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
It is so true the first time that you flash
it on the job, you doo. Yeah, because I noticed
this on the last flight that we took. Every time
somebody would go to they would walk to the restroom.
The light is above, usually not by planes. It's different,
but there's a light that actually says whether it's occupied
or not. And then getting to the door itself can

(26:46):
be tricky because they're just so they vary by plane.
Some slide open like a sliding door, and some actually.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Will yes, So just to help you, like the first
time you do it is going to be the first
time you do it. You don't get to practice this
ahead of time, and I wish you did.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
And the flight and it will help you, by the way, Yeah,
notide no, not one number one.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Locking the door, just know when you pull it to
the locked position, it's like a little it's a latch
or a handle. When you pull it to the locked position,
it does lock it and it lets them know on
the outside that it's occupied, so you can rest easy there.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
It's as vacant and it usually turns a light on
inside the plane.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's a weird, small little space, and the fixtures are different.
It's not like a typical bathroom. I don't know how
tall people do it, like Sam down, Yeah, sorry about that.
Flushing is another concern. I remember the first time, I'm like,
where does this go?

Speaker 3 (27:35):
What is happening?

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Oh my gosh, it's a vacuum system rather than large
amounts of water.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Which is why it sounds loud when you do it
and you push the button.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, the button is right there behind where you would
think it would be where the fluxure is.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
That's where it's going to be. But this is a
whole new room.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
You have to know these things. I thought we'd help
washing your hands. I think that's super important A lot
of times, a lot of these planes, it's motion sense
or just like everything else, you got to hold it,
underneath it, or you hold it the whole time. You
ever had one of those on a flight, that's so
hard to deal with it. You're holding it, but you're
trying to watch.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
You either hold or it's got to it's a spring load.
You push it and you have about ten seconds and
then it's done.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
I've not seen those, or I missed it, you know.
I try to hold it. I don't try to go
on a plane. I don't like to feel completely insecure
about what I'm doing and how personal that is.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Like the flight attendant's right on the other side of you.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
Are right on the other side.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
They can't hear.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
The other thing is this is important to know. If
you know the first time you do. It's going to
be the first time you do it.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
In the air.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
If you have an emergency, if you need some sort
of assistance, there is a place, a button that will
call it that the flight attendant will come for you
if you have some sort of emergency in the air,
which would be embarrassing, but hey, it happens. The latest
Buzz Jody's Hollywood Outsider. We are about to play something
for you that is going to fill your heart with joy.

(28:58):
I didn't know this was coming because I knew the
movie Shrek five was coming. Yeah, I didn't know they
were going to drop a trailer in our laps this week.
So here you go, Shrek two's tall work friends and
Pawfu on another whirlwind.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Peak City attention. Oh this is bad, all right.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Right, here's what's up.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
We don't get this movie till June of twenty twenty seven,
so one year from now.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
But they gave us the trailer.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
So to me, if you have younger children who've never
experienced the Shrek movies, this is the time. And then
by the time they're older and in love with it,
they get a brand new movie.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
And if you're an adult who has experienced the movies.
Oh my gosh good.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
And so the favorite, this is the part that's actually
gonna fill your heart with joy, is Eddie Murphy singing
Baby come Back. Any kind of fool coud see there
was something in everything about you.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
They're in jail.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, that's all I'll tell you.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
It's for the young.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
That's a throwback to what I want to say forty
eight hours, one hundred years ago with Nick like some
of the some of the first UH movie experiences we
had with Eddie Murphy. But you're getting them today in
donkey form. Shrek five in theaters next year.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Texter call us eight seven seven three one zero four M. S. J.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Get in on these harmless of sessions. We're gonna get
to some more of those. But first, Chris sent us
an email to Murphy Samon Jody dot com. Hey guys,
was listening to the show the other day when you
talked about a low spend summer.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yes, yeah, doing it, you know cheaper. You know, everybody's
on a budget. Gas price is kind of high.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
The ideas that I threw out that Sam, the most
frugal person I know, thought were all horrible idea.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Yeah, but you said frugal. I think you mean cheap.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
I do.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Wait, you consider yourself cheap, not frugal, he does.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Anyway. The ideas were snow cones and water balloons and.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Movie night in your own backyard and go chase the
ice cream truck. You know, make memories. It's not about
how much money you spend, it's it's the time you spend.
Ah Anyway, So Chris says this. Most libraries have free
programs and events for families all summer long. Our local
has a day passes to museums that you can borrow
for free. It's a great resource, it's true. Check check

(31:24):
that out. The libraries are ready with all kinds of
summer programs, and I know that for sure for all ages.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
So you're right about that.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
Coat Usually they have kids reading programs. If they read
so many books, they might get a free pizza.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Or finance something not too cheap for you. There that
is free.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Okay, So thank you, Chris. We love that all right,
back to harmless obsessions. It's okay to obsess about something.
I think it's very human to obsess about something as
long as it's harmless. And we are loving these ideas
that are coming into our social media. Corey said that
she's obsessed with candy Crush and.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
Made it to level five oh three to two.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Graduates.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
That's easy to get obsessed with sometimes.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
I mean five thirty two.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I don't know five o three two is what that means.
I've never played handy Crush either. In fact, whenever there's
a game on my device, I always just uninstall it.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
I just don't.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
I know, I've kind of done the same thing, and
there's nothing wrong with that. And a lot of people
do the solitaire thing that's on every device everywhere, you know.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Steven said that he's his harmless obsession is Taylor Squiz.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Which a lot of people share with you. Steven, I'm sure,
I say, yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
I think that sometimes if you're in a bad mood,
just play her music and you're gonna feel you could
work out to her. I know that I've done it.
Jeanette said her harmless subsession is wax melts.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
Oh this sense?

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah? Yeah? Those are safe.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
They smell great candles, and when you turn off the
melter you can kind of play with the wax. It
feels kind of satisfying. Does it keep your harmless s
obsessions coming? Eight seven seven three one zero four MS.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
I don't know that I would call touching hot wax harmless,
but go ahead,
