Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salamon Jody Daily Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is really going to be the summer of well
at the box office already. We have the Michael Jackson movie,
we have the Devilwar's product coming. There's a Star Wars
I'm sorry, excuse me. It's a Mandalorian nengro Goo movie
coming next month. And we have Toy Story five in June.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Who goes there? Who whoa, whoa?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I come in peace.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
It's been too long, cowboy. That's a big summer. Huh.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I'm gonna tell you this. The storyline, what we know
about this one is so on point. I think everybody
in the family is going to be affected, mom, dad,
Grandma and the kids because it's about tech taking over
the world. Because tech is everywhere. You know, it's an
(00:49):
important part of our lives, but it's become a part
of children's experience with toys as well. And so buzz
and what are you like? Oh my god, tech is
here to stay. What are we gonna do? And Andy's
little sister gets this little thing called lily Pad. Hi there,
I'm lily Pad. Let's play Extinction not again? So all
(01:09):
the voices are back. Cannot wait for the Conan O'Brian toy,
which we don't have a lot of yet, but I
think he's a potty training helper called Smarty Pants or
something like that. But I just want you to know,
as with the irony here is this is a it's
a very human thing, but it's about toys. There's gonna
be a lot of merch that's rolling out. That's rolling
(01:31):
out too in the summer when this movie lands and
we all go see it. Disney's unveiling all kinds of
Toy Story five merch, and some of it you can
get now if you start looking. Mattel has the and
this is what's weird to me, ironic these interactibles a Woody,
a buzz Jesse, a Forky, even lily Pad. They character
(01:51):
recognition and they communicate with each other in real time
and thinking that that's a tac toy.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
But this is twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Remember the first Woody came out, all he had was
a pull string love.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
There's a new pull string running Woody this time around
what he's getting older. So there's a storyline there about
some hair loss. I'll just say that Toy Story five
UO cards are coming. Yeah, that's fun and that's easy, right,
and then there's a buzz light your Space Ranger laser,
so that sounds fun. So just no, oh yeah, I'm sorry,
(02:27):
not a Star Wars laser. Have you ever heard a phrase?
Someone drop a phrase or even like a sentence on
you and you know what it means, but you've never
heard it before.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
What do you mean a phrase?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Okay, I'm just going to tell you mine, and once
I say it, you'll know. I'm sure you've had it
in the corporate world, Murphy, You're like, you hear something
about bandwidth and you know what it means.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Okay, yeah, bandwidth this the amount that somebody's able to do.
But that's not important right now. Good for you.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So the other day I took our youngest her Feebe,
pants shopping. She needs some new pants. I'm like, I'm
your girl, let's go pants shopping. I said, let's pick
where you want to go. We'll go any any store.
She said, let's start kind of gritty and let's go
thrifting first. I'm like, yeah, girl, let's do it. And
on the way there we're having a nice mom daughter conversation.
We're going to one of our favorite places to thrift.
(03:19):
And I said, what's cool about starting here is that
we could stock up, like you could get jeans and
slacks and all this kind of stuff. And she, being
the old school, old soul that she is, she said, yeah, Mom,
but you know you got to be careful of that
thrifting blindness. And I was like, as soon as she
said those two words, I'm like, I knew exactly what
(03:41):
she meant.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It means you're thrifting and you'll say yes to stuff
just because it's five dollars that you would never buy.
And that's how you end up with too much stuff
if you thrift a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
That makes sense. When I started getting on the vinyl
kick a couple of years ago, again, I mean it
was I started to realize vinyl blindness. The reason I
got rid of my original vinyl collection was because of
it takes up so much room. It's all of that.
So I just dialed it back to the things that
I want. But that's easy to do. You get excited
because you think, well, there's only one of these because
it's thrifted. It's not like there's ten of them on
(04:16):
the shelf.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Right, you think that you're never gonna have the chance
to have this again. And that's true. And it's five
dollars or seven dollars and you're like nothing, And she's
as soon as she said it. Now, she did go
on to explain that's how you end up with too
much stuff, or you'll say yes to stuff that you
really are not in love with. You won't yeah, pass
it won't pass all the tests, the normal test you
would put it through in your mind if you were
(04:39):
buying at retail. True, I know, so thank you Phebes
for introducing me to the new term thrifting blindness so
that I don't overthrift. And by the way, she only
bought like two three things.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, I was gonna ask how much?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
What was the hall? Very few? She got like one
pair of pants and she got two shirts. We were
pants shopping.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
So true, wasn't blinded by the thrifting literally not.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Trending now. Jody's Hollywood Outsider a reminder that if you're
in the mood for something scary to stream at home,
not for kids, Not for kids, it's Apple TV's Cape Fear,
the new one that stars Javier Bardein and Amy Adams.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I had a good life Martin too. We did what
was always right.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
He's an ex convict. He comes back to sort of
haunt the lawyer and the lawyer's family who put him away.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Now, is this a movie or a series?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It's a series ten episodes, so you can take it
in little chunks, which you might need to. It was
already scary years ago when Robert Mitcham did it, and
then in the nineties when de Niro did it. Okay,
it was a movie then. So Martin SCORSESEI is involved,
and so is Steven Spielberg. Okay, and Amy Adams and
(05:57):
Javier is the bad guy. He's scary. Ten episodes on
Apple TV plus you can stream it now. But here's
what's kind of lovely. So Amy Adams plays the wife
and mother here, and the daughter is played by actress
Lily Callias. And she said that when things got tense
for her on the set and even scary, it's just
a lot of work that Amy Adams took her under
(06:18):
her wing and was like a mother to her and
would sing songs from the Enchanted movie. Friends, how much
do we love that it's streaming now on Apple TV.
I mentioned it in three Things to Know earlier this week.
It was not my favorite story, even though a lot
(06:40):
of people think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Are you worried about the squirrels hurting themselves? Jody?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I am squirrels and vaping is a thing.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Who hasn't heard the story.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They're not intentionally vaping.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
And nobody's selling the vapes to the squirrels.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, but litter is awful and what's happening?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Sorry, I can't tell you this.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
You're a squirrel, that's my d.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
If you were to google that right now, squirrels and
vapes or whatever vaping squirrels, you would get lots of
videos from around the world. London is reporting it's a
huge problem people who vape, who discard their vape pins
when they're done with them. I don't know how it
really works because I thought you kept it and put
an insert. But whatever, If you discard a vape pen,
(07:22):
you've littered. The baby squirrels who are just mining their
own trying to find a nut or whatever, you know,
trying to find an acorn to chew on to live.
They are attracted to the fruity scent. If you had
a cookies and cream scented pick, whatever. They go for them,
not just because they're there and they're colorful sometimes, but
(07:42):
they smell great to an animal, and so it's.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Not because they were used to doing lit cigarette butts
in the past.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
All right, this is so much better.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay, they pick it up in the videos, they look
like they're vaping because the way they pick it up,
you know what they're like.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Squirrels know how to inhale.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
They can suck a not out of a shell. They
can probably get some nicotine out of a vape. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
The reason I don't like is because wildlife I knew
this was coming, and I'm so grateful that wildlife experts
have been responding with warnings about the dangers to animals
when you litter vapes, when you litter at all. We've
known about that forever.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
It's like birds ingesting straws. I mean, the animals, they
didn't elect to have all these things put in from them.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Not only is the nicotine toxic to them, there's a
little bit of nicotine left. As much as you think
you got out of that vape, the squirrel can find more.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Morning on the package.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
The squirrels don't the classic vapes have forever chemicals in them.
You know all of that. So just dispose of your
vapes properly and don't litter the beautiful world. And think
about the squirrel. I wish I knew. I couldn't do
this story value you guys enjoying it, but it's something
to be aware of. Yes, I have a recipe for
(09:01):
everybody today, but it's not for you to eat. It's
for you to enjoy in your bath. Sorry, Murphy, Murphy
doesn't like baths. He's a shower man.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I know, I know, Sam, you love a bath, just
like all my girlfriends. So this is the detox bath
recipe and it's just three ingredients and we do have
it posted. If you can't remember this, you're busy right now.
It is on our website at Murphy Samonjody dot com.
Epsom salt, that's it, right, Ebsom salt, lavender, essential oil okay,
(09:32):
and baking soda okay.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
That's simple and easy it is. And they Epsom salt,
which is basically magnesium, is really good for your skin
and you know muscles, it's good.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
For you if you're sore. Yeah, I remember when I
used to run and I was training and all these
crazy little things I was doing. It would like soak
in Epsen song.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, it took somebody explaining that to me once. It's magnesium.
I thought it was a magical salt the first time
I heard about it. But it's a form of magnesium.
So that's why it's so good and important for the muscles.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
So the word is And I found this online and
I've done it a couple of times, and it's supposedly
if you do this for twenty minutes about once a week,
it helps detox you your system. So it's a hot bath.
It's a handful of epsom salts, about ten drops of
essential oil. Depending on how big your bath is. If
(10:19):
you have a huge bath up, you might want to
do more drops, but a regular sized bath about ten
drops of the essential oil. And if you don't want lavender,
if you'd rather do peppermint, but careful.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
On so peppermint can burn.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah. Yeah, And in the half cup of baking soda
that's the mixture in a bath. This recipe is supposed
to draw out toxins that are related to stress hormones,
and it's supposed to balance your pH levels. Interesting Okay,
I've done it a few times. It feels really great.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I can't tell you it is it fizzy.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Not too fizzy? No, So anyway, I wanted to share
it with you because we were talking about taking a
hot bath and how it kind of burns calories, and
we just had this whole had hot bath combo this week.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I actually might be willing to try that one, Jody,
even though I don't want to soak forever, as you know,
because I don't like the whole my fingers on paper
and stuff. It's a it's like fingers on a truck board.
I tell you about that.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So that's why you don't soak. So can you soak
for twenty minutes?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I have to take my CGM off and all this
high maintenance type one diabetes stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Sorry, that's right, That's why right. The detox bath recipe
at Murphy Samonjody dot Com. It's Grateful Friday, but it's
also what I call retreat Friday. Murphy is going on
his retreat today. Leave today. You'll be gone for two
nights doing your getting centered man retreat.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It's really the goal. It's the goal, you know, goals.
It's goal setting, right, exactly. I guess it's kind of
a man retreat. I'm the only person there. I'm a man,
but it's really you know, I.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Like to call it a man retreat for you, but
we can call a goal setting if you want.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
That's fine, right, whatever you want to call it, Jody,
I'm good with. So it's so.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Funny about this is when you first decided to do
this years back, five years ago or so, you just
said I'm going to do this, and I thought, that's
so you and so great. I love that you've kept
doing it. But what happens here is you go away
on a retreat and I have a weekend to myself,
which is also a retreat of sorts. I'm telling you
(12:18):
women who have children, who have careers, who manage the house,
all the things. Free time is sacred, duh. And I
have no idea what I'm going to do. Yeah, okay,
that's what I'm excited about. Can you tell I'm excited.
I mean I want to do everything. I want to
(12:38):
fit everything in the last time you did this, I
did an overplan and I just see how I feel
in the afternoon when you leave and I say goodbye,
and I've got the whole weekend haad of myself and
my feeling social as I've got girls I can call,
and my feeling like I want to get in a
yoga studio and be quiet and sweat, then I can
do that. If I want to go to a state sales,
(12:59):
which I did. That was the first thing I did
last time. It was a Friday afternoon. I was driving home.
You and I had just spoken. You were hitting the road, yeah,
and I saw a sign and a say tell, I went,
and then I was there for a couple of hours.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
What you get excited about is the unstructured time. That's
really that's the biggest thing Sam. That's why she's not
going to do, and there's nothing she wants to do.
What she wants is not to have to do. And
so the unstructured times is what Jodi gets most excited about.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I might, you know, be in the middle of my
closet with a mess surrounding me at midnight tonight. I
have no idea, maybe no time on the fastest sleep,
But unstructured time, when you have such a structured life
and I love my life and I depend on the structure,
is so fantastic. Now, I hope I don't report to
you Monday that because he's going to have all kinds
(13:46):
of you know.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I mean, look, I know how to go into this
managing expectations. I think that's part of it. I've learned
a couple of lessons about the right way to do this.
Because it sounds longer than it is. It's thirty six hours.
That's all it is, is thirty six hours that I
have manage.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And I mean, I hope I have something valuable to
show for it, but we'll see. It's called retreat, weekend
morning pick me up time. When it's time to get
a toy, buy a toy for a child in your life,
do not succumb to the pressure of being too cool
(14:21):
for school and getting the latest coolest thing, even if
you don't know what that is, because guess what the
word is. And we learned last week at the annual
Toy Fair in New York City the top most loved
toys it's called cozy culture and it's low tech toys
are the most loved right now by parents, by kids
(14:41):
as far as sitting down and playing in your mind
actually lighting up. It's the classic toys. You know, feel
good about buying them. We're talking about dolls, blocks, puzzles,
things you build those.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
At the lowest tech of all of them. A cardboard
box that you cut into whatever you wanted to be.
I swear I've never used that was always ahead. A
big empty box seems to attract every kid.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I know.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
That's what it was at our house when our girls
were going on.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It cannot beat that. And it's so funny because how
many families have this dynamic going on that at the
kid's house, it's the screens and the pads. We're gonna
see that in the Toy Story five movie, that all
the classic toys are competing with lily Pad, which is
such a story for our time. But how many of
us have that situation where you're home, where you have
small children, you have all the latest, greatest, and then
(15:29):
they go to grandma's house and Grandma's like, here's a paperbag,
here's a box, hey, and they have a blast.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
When Hollis comes to my house, my grandson, he goes
straight to the back and pulls up my two big
things of legos.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Great, it's Lego time, and how long does he spend
forever until it's time to leave? Lego is part of
that classic. Even if it's you know, something new and
it's bluey lego, it's still that classic thing.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I don't know why. Toys that your grandmothers were always
just they seemed better and fun. And some of it was,
you know, were toys that belonged to your parents too.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It was like I had those old, beautiful barbies that
belonged to my mother and her sister, and they were
gorgeous and they had been played with, you know, for
a long long time. They were worn, but I loved it.
But anyway, the word is these toys encourage longer, deeper
periods of concentration. Just like when you pick up your
(16:22):
device and it's it's everything is fast food for your brain.
Everything is three seconds. That's not good for a child's brain.
It's better to foster the creativity, the role playing, the
social skills that playing with low tech toys classic toys
can bring.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
That'll be just as relaxing for you to watch play with.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yes, the latest buzz Jody's Hollywood Outsider. That's some ben
Affleck news. You guys know who the real true crime person,
Whitey Bulger is. You ever heard that name?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
The mobster right, he's a Boston crime figure.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Wasn't it Departed kind of based on him?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
The Jack Nicholson character in The Departed was based on Whitey.
Doesn't mean it was Whitey's story, but it was. He
was based.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
On There you go.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Okay. So Ben Affleck, who wanted to and was supposed
to be making this movie with Matt Damon of course
about Whitey, that that movie fell through. It just didn't
get off the ground. And it's been planned forever. So
he's not making a movie about him, but he is narrating.
So it'll be Ben Affleck's voice for a new upcoming
(17:34):
Hulu true crime docuseries.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I means you how I can't tell you what it is.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
You can never ask me about it later, and we're
going to hurt some people.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Well, he made his Whitey Bulger, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
He's done plenty of sort of you know Boston crime movies. Anyway,
he's perfect for it. What's funny is for him to
narrate it. Is he going to be Ben like the
Academy Award winning director Ben or is he gonna be
more Boston.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I'll do Boston back.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
When he's doing it. It's called Hunting Whitey Bulger. It'll
be out soon three parts on Hulu. Take us along
on a podcast. Anytime you want to hang out and
you miss parts of the show, you never have to
miss it. There's also the YouTube channel you can subscribe
to there and watch after the show every day.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Jody, I loved your morning pick me up this morning
about you know, if you're an introvert, you don't need
to feel bad about it. It's not a negative. It's
just wow. Yeah, right, And we're all a mix of
you know both. I realize one thing though about because
I do thrive in the social settings. I really I
enjoy being with people. It doesn't mean, I know, want
my downtime, but I enjoy that. But it made me
(18:42):
think about something that I really had to try hard
the other day to tell myself, you're not doing this wrong.
Both of you have kind of teased me over the
years when we've done get togethers, and it takes me
forever to leave. Oh yeah, you want to explain that, Jody.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, he can't say goodbye like it's it's time to leave.
I'm standing there with like a coat and a purse,
and you know, Sam's already gone. He's like, right, and
we've said and we've said goodbye, and it's a it's
the person that you're saying goodbye to knows it's over
and you don't.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Look, yeah, it's real.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Well I have there are people who tease me and
they call that that. You know that I'm the one
who rolls the credits the gathering second.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Thought, we we work with I don't remember rolling the
credits again, remember in that one.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, I don't remember who said that to me. I
don't think they work with us anymore. But it was
always you know, Murphy rolls the credits. But you know
it so get together that I was at last week.
I had to leave a little bit early because of
a flight.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Oh but that killed you.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It did because I'm wanting to tell everybody goodbye, and
I couldn't tell everybody goodbye. I mean I were about
six or seven people. I was able to go fist
bump and you know, walked out without disturbing because the
meeting was in progress when this was going on. But
I literally had to tell myself it's okay, you don't
have to go hotel everybody in the room goodbye. But
that's just what happens to me naturally because I enjoy
(20:05):
seeing the people that were there. I always want just
like when I greet somebody at the beginning, I want to,
you know, do the other greeting at the end credits.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
When I first started dating you, Murphy, all those years ago,
I remember we would go to a party or something
and I saw this in action on the front end
and the back end, and I thought, he acts like
he's the host. You're not hosting this. It's just you
being who you are. You know know that you sometimes
do need to wrap it up, but let yourself be it.
(20:36):
I've tried the signal that doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Have I told you both how much I've enjoyed doing
the show with you today? Got it?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I love hearing from you the most. Kathy sent this
comment to our TikTok. I shared this beautiful little video
of our champ who has trouble getting up and down.
Now he's our thirteen year old rescue.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Dog and he takes a minute.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
He takes a little minute, and we give him all
the minutes he needs. Whenever I walked to him and
approach him, if he's sitting upright, he raises his paw.
You know, the whole shake. I think over the years
of going shake, he just he won't have to say
it anymore. He just offers a paw. It's fantastic. Kathy says,
that little paw reaches everything. When my dog got all
(21:21):
white on his face and couldn't jump in my bed anymore,
I took my bed apart and slept on my mattress
on the floor. Oh, Kathy, you're giving me ideas. Oh Murphy,
we'll talk later about it, bed Joseph. I was like
that for a year before he had a stroke and passed.
It has been a year and a half since that happened,
and I would do it all again. She means, with
(21:42):
the bed, Kathy, you are my kind of dog owner owner.
Although Murphy's not ever gonna let us take the bed apart.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Here's an option for you. You know, they do have
dog steps for beds.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I know, but he doesn't sleep in the bed with it, No,
he sleeps on the floor. The dog a dog in
the bed thing a very long ago.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
So thank you for that, Kathy. It means everything. So

Speaker 1 (22:07):
So Jennifer sent us a message on Facebook about the
makeup conversation you were talking about how Sam and I
both really think you your makeup smells good. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
When I put makeup on you, it's just a smell
like a girl.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Is also a good fragrance.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, I don't smell it, Jennifer says Jody. I love
my eyeshadow palette. It's Tartlet in Bloom by Lane. Am
I saying that.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Right, Heartlet Yeah, Heartlet Tartlet I think Yeah, She says
I bought it because Dylan from The Today Show said
it smelled wonderful from one of their Steals and Deal segments.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Cool, it does smile.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
See you guys don't put cosmetics as on your face
as much as women do. It really does matter. I'm
glad that you like the way my makeup smells, but
it really does matter how it smells. If you're putting
it on your face. It could be you could sell
me the greatest moisturizer in the world. But if I
put it on my face and it doesn't smell good,
(22:58):
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Makes sense. You don't have to smell like a chemical
for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
No. No, we all have memories of you know, the
way Noxema used to smell and things like that.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Actually, I like to smell noxema. How do you know
that My mom used to put that on us when
we for sunburn.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Oh no, no, no, no. How to avoid a Facebook
marketplace scam? Don't use Facebook market Yeah, I knew Murphy
was going to say that it's not his favorite. Look,
we've had some not great situations. You put something up there,
let's just say a dresser, you put a picture of it,
and you put yeah, and then you start getting all
(23:35):
these crazy people who don't really exist, going where are you?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What's your phone numbers box? That are hitting you up?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yes, by the way, though it's not going anywhere. About
a billion people a month's shop on Facebook market.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Sure, I mean, look, I get it. It's a convenient
thing if it's too expensive to ship and you really
wanted to sell and somebody can pick it up locally,
I mean why not. Yes, you just have to do your.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Due dilig I've seen sites where you're shopping for consignment
type things like let's just say address, and then I've
seen the same dress on Facebook Marketplace and it is
for certain the same person, So like, oh, you're local Okay, anyway,
didn't you buy your ounie? Yeah on Facebook marketplace and
you went and picked it.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Up an hour, but it was worth it for the deal.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Good.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Okay, that's great, and then that's up to you. Number
one is meet locally in person at a place, public place,
public place, like, not in your driveway, not in their driveway,
you know, not in homes. Do it and you can
do it at a police station, public parking lots, things
like that. That's where you agree to meet where you
(24:42):
know there's surveillance. That's because you're dealing with strangers. Payment
methods for a local they do say they do recommend
cash in person, recommend cash or PayPal or Facebook pay
which you can reverse and you have buyer protection. Don't
necessarily recommend like Venmo and zel because that's harder to
reverse if you got scammed. Okay, Check the profile of
(25:03):
the seller. Is it a new profile? Do they have
any friends? You know? That's a that's another red flag?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
My thing is this and we don't. I don't do
it a lot because the whole Murphy's like, does this
person do we have any common friends? I'm smart keep
communication in messenger as part of as part of it
if you ever have. If you're getting scammed, yeah, don't, don't.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Give your phone number, don't do the texting thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
And it's the two of the things to quickly look
out for. The overpayment scam where they want to pay
you more than you're even asking and they're pressuring you
to do something quickly. Back away from that. That's a scam.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
So, Jody, you and I still have the the terrarium
set up from our bearded dragons rum no longer alive,
and that's the one you were going to sell them.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Every time I put it up there, I get the
I'm coming today, I'm coming to get it now, and
it's I feel the pressure and I just can't. So
we're gonna stick with it. Join us anytime, love having
you along. You can do it on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok,
and even email us at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Connie said as a message Shody for you, she says,
if you don't mind what model a vibration plate did
you get? I assume she's asking because you know we
told the story of me kicking it in the middle
of the night in the dark the other I.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Didn't mean to leave it out. I've scooched it way
back against the wall after using it, since.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
She says her physical therapist wants her to get one
to improve her lymphatic drainage. Oh yeah, since my breast
cancer surgery. I have issues with lymp edema. Thank you, so.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Important lymphatic drainage so that everything goes in your body
where it's supposed to go and with inflammation. And I
hear that they're really good for that, so yay. The
one that I bought. The brand is I hope I
say it right, Marac marac, maroc me r a c
hmy r ac h.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
But I literally just picked it as like a mid
level you know, I didn't know what I was doing
when I chose that.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah, it wasn't an Amazon bestseller.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
It might have had some good ratings. Yeah that's the
one though, So good luck with it. Do it and
get on it every day. It feels fantastic.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Jody uses hers every day. She tries to talk when
she's doing it too, right.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Okay, this is for you, Sam to Murphy saman Jody
dot com, mister Sam, this is from TJ. My heart
goes out to you, brother. This is about when you
were talking about your dog Gus. Oh yeah, and the
day that you knew it was it was his time.
Losing a close pet is close to losing a child almost.
I could tell that was hard on you when you
(27:41):
spoke about it just before Halloween. This past year, we
lost a cat that we'd had since she was born.
She was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Lord, that's a long life.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I still watch for her involuntarily when I back out
to leave for work. I still watch for her when
I opened the side door. I used to worry out
accidentally swear off of she was far too old to
take a bump like that, like that anyhow much love
to you and all of you. To MSJ, I'm sure
(28:10):
Gus is missed, God blessed.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Yes, yes, thank you very much, TJ. I appreciate that. Yeah,
and a similar situation. The first couple of weeks after
Gus was gone, I kept looking for him or thinking
I would see him around the right.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Because they're a part of your day to day life.
They're a part of your family. Of course you look
for and get used to it. Jody's Hollywood Outsider. I
want to remind you that Kevin Costner had this epic
Western that was supposed to be in four parts, and
we only got the first part, called Horizon and American
Saga in these territories.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Man, I'll come try you. I barely remember that happening.
Wasn't this on the heels of Yellowstone?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yes, he left Yellowstone he wanted to focus on this.
He also got divorced, not over this necessarily, but apparently
was never home because he was always making the Great
American Saga. This is proof that anybody can have a
fail because I'm sure he didn't see it coming. That
he put a lot of his own money forward to this.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
That one bombed and they canceled. The other three didn't.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
The other three, there's no We have no idea if
they're ever coming. Probably not, because how much money does
it cost to make this? And if the first one
doesn't you can't do it right anyway. Just so you know,
if you really wanted to see it, I know some
people who really wanted to see it. I was one
of them. Because Kevin, it's on Prime video now you
can stream this.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
A Horizon in American Saga.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I mean, I wonder if it's the kind of thing
that really should have just gone straight to streaming because
there probably would have been less risk that way. Maybe,
I mean, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. And look,
Taylor Sheridan has made a quite the portfolio of shows
that have all been streamed.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You know you're right. He didn't want Kevin to do
this either.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah, this one should have gone straight to VHS.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
If you know what I'm saying, how to sleep on
a plane if you really need to get some shut up?
Do people say still say shut eye?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I don't know. I'll shut mine though they get some
shut eye.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
On the Red Eye.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Okay, can you really sleep on a plane quickly? Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
No, I can if I'm tired.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yeah, yeah, Murphy, try to. I can't, but it'll catch
up to me at some point. Next thing, I know,
my head's popping. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I don't like that. I don't love the idea of
sleeping around strangers. So I don't like to sleep on
a plane. You're surrounded by strangers, and if you do
do that little wake up thing, it's embarrassing. You scare
yourself awake. I'm sorry you can't smooth that out.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I don't like that. I do like to close the
door or gasp.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Do you like to close my eyes. That's why I
like the window seat. I know it's not the most
sanitary thing in the world, but I love to lay
my head on the inside of by the window. Okay,
so here's what's up. According to science, the best way
to sleep on a plane, if you are trying to
get some shut eye on the Red eye or whatever
eye it is, there's not one magic trick, but controlling
(31:04):
light and noise crucial. Your body knows you're not at home.
Your body knows you are in the air among strangers.
So you have to trick it. You have to bring
an eye mask if you can. You don't have control
over all the light in the plane, but you hopefully
have control over yours. Noise canceling headphones boost your odds
of sleeping on a plane.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, and those have come a long way, both the
earbud versions and the headphones. It's greatly improved.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
It's another thing, though, if I put an eye mask
on and noise canceling headphones on, somebody's gonna have to
tap me to wake me up. Now, would you like water?
I don't, or.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Maybe they'll break out in a game of pin the
tail on the dawnke.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I just honestly, I don't think I've ever fallen into
a deep, deep sleep on a plane, because I just
my body knows and I did. I don't like the
little surprise wake up. The other thing is you'll love this, guys,
if you can make it happen. Get a same date,
get a workout in before for tire your body out.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Well that makes sense. Yeah, don't eat.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
A heavy, heavy meal before because it can make you
uncomfortable and make you need to get up and down.
And then, honestly, think of the childlike part of all
of us. Bring something that's your lovey or your blanket
or your comfort.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Okay, so you're embarrassed to jerk awake, but it's okay
to have your lovey with you.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I'm sorry. Well, yeah, my lovey is my comfy sweater
or a blanket.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
It's not less embarrassed embarrassing than drooling on yourself.
Welcome to the Murphy Salamon Jody Daily Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is really going to be the summer of well
at the box office already. We have the Michael Jackson movie,
we have the Devilwar's product coming. There's a Star Wars
I'm sorry, excuse me. It's a Mandalorian nengro Goo movie
coming next month. And we have Toy Story five in June.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Who goes there? Who whoa, whoa?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I come in peace.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
It's been too long, cowboy. That's a big summer. Huh.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I'm gonna tell you this. The storyline, what we know
about this one is so on point. I think everybody
in the family is going to be affected, mom, dad,
Grandma and the kids because it's about tech taking over
the world. Because tech is everywhere. You know, it's an
(00:49):
important part of our lives, but it's become a part
of children's experience with toys as well. And so buzz
and what are you like? Oh my god, tech is
here to stay. What are we gonna do? And Andy's
little sister gets this little thing called lily Pad. Hi there,
I'm lily Pad. Let's play Extinction not again? So all
(01:09):
the voices are back. Cannot wait for the Conan O'Brian toy,
which we don't have a lot of yet, but I
think he's a potty training helper called Smarty Pants or
something like that. But I just want you to know,
as with the irony here is this is a it's
a very human thing, but it's about toys. There's gonna
be a lot of merch that's rolling out. That's rolling
(01:31):
out too in the summer when this movie lands and
we all go see it. Disney's unveiling all kinds of
Toy Story five merch, and some of it you can
get now if you start looking. Mattel has the and
this is what's weird to me, ironic these interactibles a Woody,
a buzz Jesse, a Forky, even lily Pad. They character
(01:51):
recognition and they communicate with each other in real time
and thinking that that's a tac toy.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
But this is twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Remember the first Woody came out, all he had was
a pull string love.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
There's a new pull string running Woody this time around
what he's getting older. So there's a storyline there about
some hair loss. I'll just say that Toy Story five
UO cards are coming. Yeah, that's fun and that's easy, right,
and then there's a buzz light your Space Ranger laser,
so that sounds fun. So just no, oh yeah, I'm sorry,
(02:27):
not a Star Wars laser. Have you ever heard a phrase?
Someone drop a phrase or even like a sentence on
you and you know what it means, but you've never
heard it before.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
What do you mean a phrase?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Okay, I'm just going to tell you mine, and once
I say it, you'll know. I'm sure you've had it
in the corporate world, Murphy, You're like, you hear something
about bandwidth and you know what it means.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Okay, yeah, bandwidth this the amount that somebody's able to do.
But that's not important right now. Good for you.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So the other day I took our youngest her Feebe,
pants shopping. She needs some new pants. I'm like, I'm
your girl, let's go pants shopping. I said, let's pick
where you want to go. We'll go any any store.
She said, let's start kind of gritty and let's go
thrifting first. I'm like, yeah, girl, let's do it. And
on the way there we're having a nice mom daughter conversation.
We're going to one of our favorite places to thrift.
(03:19):
And I said, what's cool about starting here is that
we could stock up, like you could get jeans and
slacks and all this kind of stuff. And she, being
the old school, old soul that she is, she said, yeah, Mom,
but you know you got to be careful of that
thrifting blindness. And I was like, as soon as she
said those two words, I'm like, I knew exactly what
(03:41):
she meant.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It means you're thrifting and you'll say yes to stuff
just because it's five dollars that you would never buy.
And that's how you end up with too much stuff
if you thrift a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
That makes sense. When I started getting on the vinyl
kick a couple of years ago, again, I mean it
was I started to realize vinyl blindness. The reason I
got rid of my original vinyl collection was because of
it takes up so much room. It's all of that.
So I just dialed it back to the things that
I want. But that's easy to do. You get excited
because you think, well, there's only one of these because
it's thrifted. It's not like there's ten of them on
(04:16):
the shelf.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Right, you think that you're never gonna have the chance
to have this again. And that's true. And it's five
dollars or seven dollars and you're like nothing, And she's
as soon as she said it. Now, she did go
on to explain that's how you end up with too
much stuff, or you'll say yes to stuff that you
really are not in love with. You won't yeah, pass
it won't pass all the tests, the normal test you
would put it through in your mind if you were
(04:39):
buying at retail. True, I know, so thank you Phebes
for introducing me to the new term thrifting blindness so
that I don't overthrift. And by the way, she only
bought like two three things.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, I was gonna ask how much?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
What was the hall? Very few? She got like one
pair of pants and she got two shirts. We were
pants shopping.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
So true, wasn't blinded by the thrifting literally not.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Trending now. Jody's Hollywood Outsider a reminder that if you're
in the mood for something scary to stream at home,
not for kids, Not for kids, it's Apple TV's Cape Fear,
the new one that stars Javier Bardein and Amy Adams.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I had a good life Martin too. We did what
was always right.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
He's an ex convict. He comes back to sort of
haunt the lawyer and the lawyer's family who put him away.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Now, is this a movie or a series?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It's a series ten episodes, so you can take it
in little chunks, which you might need to. It was
already scary years ago when Robert Mitcham did it, and
then in the nineties when de Niro did it. Okay,
it was a movie then. So Martin SCORSESEI is involved,
and so is Steven Spielberg. Okay, and Amy Adams and
(05:57):
Javier is the bad guy. He's scary. Ten episodes on
Apple TV plus you can stream it now. But here's
what's kind of lovely. So Amy Adams plays the wife
and mother here, and the daughter is played by actress
Lily Callias. And she said that when things got tense
for her on the set and even scary, it's just
a lot of work that Amy Adams took her under
(06:18):
her wing and was like a mother to her and
would sing songs from the Enchanted movie. Friends, how much
do we love that it's streaming now on Apple TV.
I mentioned it in three Things to Know earlier this week.
It was not my favorite story, even though a lot
(06:40):
of people think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Are you worried about the squirrels hurting themselves? Jody?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I am squirrels and vaping is a thing.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Who hasn't heard the story.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They're not intentionally vaping.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
And nobody's selling the vapes to the squirrels.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, but litter is awful and what's happening?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Sorry, I can't tell you this.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
You're a squirrel, that's my d.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
If you were to google that right now, squirrels and
vapes or whatever vaping squirrels, you would get lots of
videos from around the world. London is reporting it's a
huge problem people who vape, who discard their vape pins
when they're done with them. I don't know how it
really works because I thought you kept it and put
an insert. But whatever, If you discard a vape pen,
(07:22):
you've littered. The baby squirrels who are just mining their
own trying to find a nut or whatever, you know,
trying to find an acorn to chew on to live.
They are attracted to the fruity scent. If you had
a cookies and cream scented pick, whatever. They go for them,
not just because they're there and they're colorful sometimes, but
(07:42):
they smell great to an animal, and so it's.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Not because they were used to doing lit cigarette butts
in the past.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
All right, this is so much better.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay, they pick it up in the videos, they look
like they're vaping because the way they pick it up,
you know what they're like.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Squirrels know how to inhale.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
They can suck a not out of a shell. They
can probably get some nicotine out of a vape. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
The reason I don't like is because wildlife I knew
this was coming, and I'm so grateful that wildlife experts
have been responding with warnings about the dangers to animals
when you litter vapes, when you litter at all. We've
known about that forever.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
It's like birds ingesting straws. I mean, the animals, they
didn't elect to have all these things put in from them.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Not only is the nicotine toxic to them, there's a
little bit of nicotine left. As much as you think
you got out of that vape, the squirrel can find more.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Morning on the package.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
The squirrels don't the classic vapes have forever chemicals in them.
You know all of that. So just dispose of your
vapes properly and don't litter the beautiful world. And think
about the squirrel. I wish I knew. I couldn't do
this story value you guys enjoying it, but it's something
to be aware of. Yes, I have a recipe for
(09:01):
everybody today, but it's not for you to eat. It's
for you to enjoy in your bath. Sorry, Murphy, Murphy
doesn't like baths. He's a shower man.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I know, I know, Sam, you love a bath, just
like all my girlfriends. So this is the detox bath
recipe and it's just three ingredients and we do have
it posted. If you can't remember this, you're busy right now.
It is on our website at Murphy Samonjody dot com.
Epsom salt, that's it, right, Ebsom salt, lavender, essential oil okay,
(09:32):
and baking soda okay.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
That's simple and easy it is. And they Epsom salt,
which is basically magnesium, is really good for your skin
and you know muscles, it's good.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
For you if you're sore. Yeah, I remember when I
used to run and I was training and all these
crazy little things I was doing. It would like soak
in Epsen song.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, it took somebody explaining that to me once. It's magnesium.
I thought it was a magical salt the first time
I heard about it. But it's a form of magnesium.
So that's why it's so good and important for the muscles.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
So the word is And I found this online and
I've done it a couple of times, and it's supposedly
if you do this for twenty minutes about once a week,
it helps detox you your system. So it's a hot bath.
It's a handful of epsom salts, about ten drops of
essential oil. Depending on how big your bath is. If
(10:19):
you have a huge bath up, you might want to
do more drops, but a regular sized bath about ten
drops of the essential oil. And if you don't want lavender,
if you'd rather do peppermint, but careful.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
On so peppermint can burn.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah. Yeah, And in the half cup of baking soda
that's the mixture in a bath. This recipe is supposed
to draw out toxins that are related to stress hormones,
and it's supposed to balance your pH levels. Interesting Okay,
I've done it a few times. It feels really great.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I can't tell you it is it fizzy.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Not too fizzy? No, So anyway, I wanted to share
it with you because we were talking about taking a
hot bath and how it kind of burns calories, and
we just had this whole had hot bath combo this week.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I actually might be willing to try that one, Jody,
even though I don't want to soak forever, as you know,
because I don't like the whole my fingers on paper
and stuff. It's a it's like fingers on a truck board.
I tell you about that.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So that's why you don't soak. So can you soak
for twenty minutes?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I have to take my CGM off and all this
high maintenance type one diabetes stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Sorry, that's right, That's why right. The detox bath recipe
at Murphy Samonjody dot Com. It's Grateful Friday, but it's
also what I call retreat Friday. Murphy is going on
his retreat today. Leave today. You'll be gone for two
nights doing your getting centered man retreat.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It's really the goal. It's the goal, you know, goals.
It's goal setting, right, exactly. I guess it's kind of
a man retreat. I'm the only person there. I'm a man,
but it's really you know, I.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Like to call it a man retreat for you, but
we can call a goal setting if you want.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
That's fine, right, whatever you want to call it, Jody,
I'm good with. So it's so.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Funny about this is when you first decided to do
this years back, five years ago or so, you just
said I'm going to do this, and I thought, that's
so you and so great. I love that you've kept
doing it. But what happens here is you go away
on a retreat and I have a weekend to myself,
which is also a retreat of sorts. I'm telling you
(12:18):
women who have children, who have careers, who manage the house,
all the things. Free time is sacred, duh. And I
have no idea what I'm going to do. Yeah, okay,
that's what I'm excited about. Can you tell I'm excited.
I mean I want to do everything. I want to
(12:38):
fit everything in the last time you did this, I
did an overplan and I just see how I feel
in the afternoon when you leave and I say goodbye,
and I've got the whole weekend haad of myself and
my feeling social as I've got girls I can call,
and my feeling like I want to get in a
yoga studio and be quiet and sweat, then I can
do that. If I want to go to a state sales,
(12:59):
which I did. That was the first thing I did
last time. It was a Friday afternoon. I was driving home.
You and I had just spoken. You were hitting the road, yeah,
and I saw a sign and a say tell, I went,
and then I was there for a couple of hours.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
What you get excited about is the unstructured time. That's
really that's the biggest thing Sam. That's why she's not
going to do, and there's nothing she wants to do.
What she wants is not to have to do. And
so the unstructured times is what Jodi gets most excited about.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I might, you know, be in the middle of my
closet with a mess surrounding me at midnight tonight. I
have no idea, maybe no time on the fastest sleep,
But unstructured time, when you have such a structured life
and I love my life and I depend on the structure,
is so fantastic. Now, I hope I don't report to
you Monday that because he's going to have all kinds
(13:46):
of you know.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I mean, look, I know how to go into this
managing expectations. I think that's part of it. I've learned
a couple of lessons about the right way to do this.
Because it sounds longer than it is. It's thirty six hours.
That's all it is, is thirty six hours that I
have manage.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And I mean, I hope I have something valuable to
show for it, but we'll see. It's called retreat, weekend
morning pick me up time. When it's time to get
a toy, buy a toy for a child in your life,
do not succumb to the pressure of being too cool
(14:21):
for school and getting the latest coolest thing, even if
you don't know what that is, because guess what the
word is. And we learned last week at the annual
Toy Fair in New York City the top most loved
toys it's called cozy culture and it's low tech toys
are the most loved right now by parents, by kids
(14:41):
as far as sitting down and playing in your mind
actually lighting up. It's the classic toys. You know, feel
good about buying them. We're talking about dolls, blocks, puzzles,
things you build those.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
At the lowest tech of all of them. A cardboard
box that you cut into whatever you wanted to be.
I swear I've never used that was always ahead. A
big empty box seems to attract every kid.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I know.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
That's what it was at our house when our girls
were going on.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It cannot beat that. And it's so funny because how
many families have this dynamic going on that at the
kid's house, it's the screens and the pads. We're gonna
see that in the Toy Story five movie, that all
the classic toys are competing with lily Pad, which is
such a story for our time. But how many of
us have that situation where you're home, where you have
small children, you have all the latest, greatest, and then
(15:29):
they go to grandma's house and Grandma's like, here's a paperbag,
here's a box, hey, and they have a blast.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
When Hollis comes to my house, my grandson, he goes
straight to the back and pulls up my two big
things of legos.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Great, it's Lego time, and how long does he spend
forever until it's time to leave? Lego is part of
that classic. Even if it's you know, something new and
it's bluey lego, it's still that classic thing.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I don't know why. Toys that your grandmothers were always
just they seemed better and fun. And some of it was,
you know, were toys that belonged to your parents too.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It was like I had those old, beautiful barbies that
belonged to my mother and her sister, and they were
gorgeous and they had been played with, you know, for
a long long time. They were worn, but I loved it.
But anyway, the word is these toys encourage longer, deeper
periods of concentration. Just like when you pick up your
(16:22):
device and it's it's everything is fast food for your brain.
Everything is three seconds. That's not good for a child's brain.
It's better to foster the creativity, the role playing, the
social skills that playing with low tech toys classic toys
can bring.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
That'll be just as relaxing for you to watch play with.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yes, the latest buzz Jody's Hollywood Outsider. That's some ben
Affleck news. You guys know who the real true crime person,
Whitey Bulger is. You ever heard that name?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
The mobster right, he's a Boston crime figure.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Wasn't it Departed kind of based on him?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
The Jack Nicholson character in The Departed was based on Whitey.
Doesn't mean it was Whitey's story, but it was. He
was based.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
On There you go.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Okay. So Ben Affleck, who wanted to and was supposed
to be making this movie with Matt Damon of course
about Whitey, that that movie fell through. It just didn't
get off the ground. And it's been planned forever. So
he's not making a movie about him, but he is narrating.
So it'll be Ben Affleck's voice for a new upcoming
(17:34):
Hulu true crime docuseries.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I means you how I can't tell you what it is.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
You can never ask me about it later, and we're
going to hurt some people.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Well, he made his Whitey Bulger, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
He's done plenty of sort of you know Boston crime movies. Anyway,
he's perfect for it. What's funny is for him to
narrate it. Is he going to be Ben like the
Academy Award winning director Ben or is he gonna be
more Boston.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I'll do Boston back.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
When he's doing it. It's called Hunting Whitey Bulger. It'll
be out soon three parts on Hulu. Take us along
on a podcast. Anytime you want to hang out and
you miss parts of the show, you never have to
miss it. There's also the YouTube channel you can subscribe
to there and watch after the show every day.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Jody, I loved your morning pick me up this morning
about you know, if you're an introvert, you don't need
to feel bad about it. It's not a negative. It's
just wow. Yeah, right, And we're all a mix of
you know both. I realize one thing though about because
I do thrive in the social settings. I really I
enjoy being with people. It doesn't mean, I know, want
my downtime, but I enjoy that. But it made me
(18:42):
think about something that I really had to try hard
the other day to tell myself, you're not doing this wrong.
Both of you have kind of teased me over the
years when we've done get togethers, and it takes me
forever to leave. Oh yeah, you want to explain that, Jody.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, he can't say goodbye like it's it's time to leave.
I'm standing there with like a coat and a purse,
and you know, Sam's already gone. He's like, right, and
we've said and we've said goodbye, and it's a it's
the person that you're saying goodbye to knows it's over
and you don't.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Look, yeah, it's real.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Well I have there are people who tease me and
they call that that. You know that I'm the one
who rolls the credits the gathering second.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Thought, we we work with I don't remember rolling the
credits again, remember in that one.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, I don't remember who said that to me. I
don't think they work with us anymore. But it was
always you know, Murphy rolls the credits. But you know
it so get together that I was at last week.
I had to leave a little bit early because of
a flight.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Oh but that killed you.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It did because I'm wanting to tell everybody goodbye, and
I couldn't tell everybody goodbye. I mean I were about
six or seven people. I was able to go fist
bump and you know, walked out without disturbing because the
meeting was in progress when this was going on. But
I literally had to tell myself it's okay, you don't
have to go hotel everybody in the room goodbye. But
that's just what happens to me naturally because I enjoy
(20:05):
seeing the people that were there. I always want just
like when I greet somebody at the beginning, I want to,
you know, do the other greeting at the end credits.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
When I first started dating you, Murphy, all those years ago,
I remember we would go to a party or something
and I saw this in action on the front end
and the back end, and I thought, he acts like
he's the host. You're not hosting this. It's just you
being who you are. You know know that you sometimes
do need to wrap it up, but let yourself be it.
(20:36):
I've tried the signal that doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Have I told you both how much I've enjoyed doing
the show with you today? Got it?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I love hearing from you the most. Kathy sent this
comment to our TikTok. I shared this beautiful little video
of our champ who has trouble getting up and down.
Now he's our thirteen year old rescue.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Dog and he takes a minute.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
He takes a little minute, and we give him all
the minutes he needs. Whenever I walked to him and
approach him, if he's sitting upright, he raises his paw.
You know, the whole shake. I think over the years
of going shake, he just he won't have to say
it anymore. He just offers a paw. It's fantastic. Kathy says,
that little paw reaches everything. When my dog got all
(21:21):
white on his face and couldn't jump in my bed anymore,
I took my bed apart and slept on my mattress
on the floor. Oh, Kathy, you're giving me ideas. Oh Murphy,
we'll talk later about it, bed Joseph. I was like
that for a year before he had a stroke and passed.
It has been a year and a half since that happened,
and I would do it all again. She means, with
(21:42):
the bed, Kathy, you are my kind of dog owner owner.
Although Murphy's not ever gonna let us take the bed apart.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Here's an option for you. You know, they do have
dog steps for beds.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I know, but he doesn't sleep in the bed with it, No,
he sleeps on the floor. The dog a dog in
the bed thing a very long ago.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
So thank you for that, Kathy. It means everything. So
follow us on TikTok as well as the other places YouTube, Instagram,
and Facebook.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
So Jennifer sent us a message on Facebook about the
makeup conversation you were talking about how Sam and I
both really think you your makeup smells good. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
When I put makeup on you, it's just a smell
like a girl.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Is also a good fragrance.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, I don't smell it, Jennifer says Jody. I love
my eyeshadow palette. It's Tartlet in Bloom by Lane. Am
I saying that.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Right, Heartlet Yeah, Heartlet Tartlet I think Yeah, She says
I bought it because Dylan from The Today Show said
it smelled wonderful from one of their Steals and Deal segments.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Cool, it does smile.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
See you guys don't put cosmetics as on your face
as much as women do. It really does matter. I'm
glad that you like the way my makeup smells, but
it really does matter how it smells. If you're putting
it on your face. It could be you could sell
me the greatest moisturizer in the world. But if I
put it on my face and it doesn't smell good,
(22:58):
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Makes sense. You don't have to smell like a chemical
for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
No. No, we all have memories of you know, the
way Noxema used to smell and things like that.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Actually, I like to smell noxema. How do you know
that My mom used to put that on us when
we for sunburn.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Oh no, no, no, no. How to avoid a Facebook
marketplace scam? Don't use Facebook market Yeah, I knew Murphy
was going to say that it's not his favorite. Look,
we've had some not great situations. You put something up there,
let's just say a dresser, you put a picture of it,
and you put yeah, and then you start getting all
(23:35):
these crazy people who don't really exist, going where are you?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What's your phone numbers box? That are hitting you up?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yes, by the way, though it's not going anywhere. About
a billion people a month's shop on Facebook market.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Sure, I mean, look, I get it. It's a convenient
thing if it's too expensive to ship and you really
wanted to sell and somebody can pick it up locally,
I mean why not. Yes, you just have to do your.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Due dilig I've seen sites where you're shopping for consignment
type things like let's just say address, and then I've
seen the same dress on Facebook Marketplace and it is
for certain the same person, So like, oh, you're local Okay, anyway,
didn't you buy your ounie? Yeah on Facebook marketplace and
you went and picked it.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Up an hour, but it was worth it for the deal.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Good.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Okay, that's great, and then that's up to you. Number
one is meet locally in person at a place, public place,
public place, like, not in your driveway, not in their driveway,
you know, not in homes. Do it and you can
do it at a police station, public parking lots, things
like that. That's where you agree to meet where you
(24:42):
know there's surveillance. That's because you're dealing with strangers. Payment
methods for a local they do say they do recommend
cash in person, recommend cash or PayPal or Facebook pay
which you can reverse and you have buyer protection. Don't
necessarily recommend like Venmo and zel because that's harder to
reverse if you got scammed. Okay, Check the profile of
(25:03):
the seller. Is it a new profile? Do they have
any friends? You know? That's a that's another red flag?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
My thing is this and we don't. I don't do
it a lot because the whole Murphy's like, does this
person do we have any common friends? I'm smart keep
communication in messenger as part of as part of it
if you ever have. If you're getting scammed, yeah, don't, don't.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Give your phone number, don't do the texting thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
And it's the two of the things to quickly look
out for. The overpayment scam where they want to pay
you more than you're even asking and they're pressuring you
to do something quickly. Back away from that. That's a scam.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
So, Jody, you and I still have the the terrarium
set up from our bearded dragons rum no longer alive,
and that's the one you were going to sell them.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Every time I put it up there, I get the
I'm coming today, I'm coming to get it now, and
it's I feel the pressure and I just can't. So
we're gonna stick with it. Join us anytime, love having
you along. You can do it on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok,
and even email us at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Connie said as a message Shody for you, she says,
if you don't mind what model a vibration plate did
you get? I assume she's asking because you know we
told the story of me kicking it in the middle
of the night in the dark the other I.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Didn't mean to leave it out. I've scooched it way
back against the wall after using it, since.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
She says her physical therapist wants her to get one
to improve her lymphatic drainage. Oh yeah, since my breast
cancer surgery. I have issues with lymp edema. Thank you, so.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Important lymphatic drainage so that everything goes in your body
where it's supposed to go and with inflammation. And I
hear that they're really good for that, so yay. The
one that I bought. The brand is I hope I
say it right, Marac marac, maroc me r a c
hmy r ac h.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
But I literally just picked it as like a mid
level you know, I didn't know what I was doing
when I chose that.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah, it wasn't an Amazon bestseller.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
It might have had some good ratings. Yeah that's the
one though, So good luck with it. Do it and
get on it every day. It feels fantastic.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Jody uses hers every day. She tries to talk when
she's doing it too, right.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Okay, this is for you, Sam to Murphy saman Jody
dot com, mister Sam, this is from TJ. My heart
goes out to you, brother. This is about when you
were talking about your dog Gus. Oh yeah, and the
day that you knew it was it was his time.
Losing a close pet is close to losing a child almost.
I could tell that was hard on you when you
(27:41):
spoke about it just before Halloween. This past year, we
lost a cat that we'd had since she was born.
She was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Lord, that's a long life.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I still watch for her involuntarily when I back out
to leave for work. I still watch for her when
I opened the side door. I used to worry out
accidentally swear off of she was far too old to
take a bump like that, like that anyhow much love
to you and all of you. To MSJ, I'm sure
(28:10):
Gus is missed, God blessed.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Yes, yes, thank you very much, TJ. I appreciate that. Yeah,
and a similar situation. The first couple of weeks after
Gus was gone, I kept looking for him or thinking
I would see him around the right.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Because they're a part of your day to day life.
They're a part of your family. Of course you look
for and get used to it. Jody's Hollywood Outsider. I
want to remind you that Kevin Costner had this epic
Western that was supposed to be in four parts, and
we only got the first part, called Horizon and American
Saga in these territories.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Man, I'll come try you. I barely remember that happening.
Wasn't this on the heels of Yellowstone?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yes, he left Yellowstone he wanted to focus on this.
He also got divorced, not over this necessarily, but apparently
was never home because he was always making the Great
American Saga. This is proof that anybody can have a
fail because I'm sure he didn't see it coming. That
he put a lot of his own money forward to this.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
That one bombed and they canceled. The other three didn't.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
The other three, there's no We have no idea if
they're ever coming. Probably not, because how much money does
it cost to make this? And if the first one
doesn't you can't do it right anyway. Just so you know,
if you really wanted to see it, I know some
people who really wanted to see it. I was one
of them. Because Kevin, it's on Prime video now you
can stream this.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
A Horizon in American Saga.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I mean, I wonder if it's the kind of thing
that really should have just gone straight to streaming because
there probably would have been less risk that way. Maybe,
I mean, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. And look,
Taylor Sheridan has made a quite the portfolio of shows
that have all been streamed.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You know you're right. He didn't want Kevin to do
this either.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah, this one should have gone straight to VHS.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
If you know what I'm saying, how to sleep on
a plane if you really need to get some shut up?
Do people say still say shut eye?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I don't know. I'll shut mine though they get some
shut eye.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
On the Red Eye.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Okay, can you really sleep on a plane quickly? Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
No, I can if I'm tired.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yeah, yeah, Murphy, try to. I can't, but it'll catch
up to me at some point. Next thing, I know,
my head's popping. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I don't like that. I don't love the idea of
sleeping around strangers. So I don't like to sleep on
a plane. You're surrounded by strangers, and if you do
do that little wake up thing, it's embarrassing. You scare
yourself awake. I'm sorry you can't smooth that out.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I don't like that. I do like to close the
door or gasp.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Do you like to close my eyes. That's why I
like the window seat. I know it's not the most
sanitary thing in the world, but I love to lay
my head on the inside of by the window. Okay,
so here's what's up. According to science, the best way
to sleep on a plane, if you are trying to
get some shut eye on the Red eye or whatever
eye it is, there's not one magic trick, but controlling
(31:04):
light and noise crucial. Your body knows you're not at home.
Your body knows you are in the air among strangers.
So you have to trick it. You have to bring
an eye mask if you can. You don't have control
over all the light in the plane, but you hopefully
have control over yours. Noise canceling headphones boost your odds
of sleeping on a plane.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, and those have come a long way, both the
earbud versions and the headphones. It's greatly improved.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
It's another thing, though, if I put an eye mask
on and noise canceling headphones on, somebody's gonna have to
tap me to wake me up. Now, would you like water?
I don't, or.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Maybe they'll break out in a game of pin the
tail on the dawnke.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I just honestly, I don't think I've ever fallen into
a deep, deep sleep on a plane, because I just
my body knows and I did. I don't like the
little surprise wake up. The other thing is you'll love this, guys,
if you can make it happen. Get a same date,
get a workout in before for tire your body out.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Well that makes sense. Yeah, don't eat.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
A heavy, heavy meal before because it can make you
uncomfortable and make you need to get up and down.
And then, honestly, think of the childlike part of all
of us. Bring something that's your lovey or your blanket
or your comfort.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Okay, so you're embarrassed to jerk awake, but it's okay
to have your lovey with you.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I'm sorry. Well, yeah, my lovey is my comfy sweater
or a blanket.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
It's not less embarrassed embarrassing than drooling on yourself.
