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

Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is good for a Monday. Murphy. You run a
lot of meetings, Sam, you attend a lot of Murphy.
I do not attend a ton of them, so yay,
I would if you asked me to be there. Sometimes
you do ask me to be there. But this is interesting.
A way to make your meetings more loved by people
that you work with and look forward to your head.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
I know how to do that. You send an email instead.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Everything can't be an email.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
So are you suggesting that my meetings are not as
loved as they could be?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
No? No, Like I said, I don't attend a lot,
so I can't really have an opinion anyway. Ha ha ha.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Murphy's meetings, you know, nowadays they're moving pretty good.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Good we have that nowadays.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well, I mean we used to have meetings with too
many people in them and they would go on and
on and on. Yeah, but now it's thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh good, you keep it down to a certain timeframe.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
That's the number. Umber one. There's three things I want
to lay out here for you to you know, make
your meetings more you know, appreciated in love by the
people you work with and people you invite to attend.
Number One, set a meeting for twenty minutes or instead
of thirty, and when they get the invite, they'll be like, yeah,
just twenty They say. That kind of helps. And if
you're going to say it's twenty minutes, keep it to twenty,

(01:20):
which is important. It's always important too if you say
it's going to be thirty minutes or whatever you say
it's going to be to respect that because people appreciate that,
and you'll get a reputation for not respecting it if
you don't respect it. That's one. The other thing is
when you send out the invite for a meeting, which
I assume yours always comes with a tech it, so

(01:42):
also write a little if you have time, bullet point agenda.
If you were to send out a please join me
for a meeting without a little bit of agenda, some
people might feel like, oh, what's this going to be about?
You have a weekly meeting. You guys know what it's
going to do.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
The weekly meeting. And if you're doing a meeting and
it's not regular, all that it makes sense.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
To me an agenda.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
The problem with the you know, agenda in the past,
and I've gone all over the place with this, you
know for time. There was a time where I wanted
everybody to bring things to the meeting. But what happens
is if people don't actually have something, then they force
it and then it becomes something that's really unnecessary to
be talked about in a meeting. So I just control
the agenda myself and you know, ask questions and then
move on.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Nice. Nice. Third thing is start with something fun. If
you can something fun, a joke, a story, whatever, it's
something that they can look forward to. Does he do that?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's a regular meeting, it's a fun people in there
are fun.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, exactly. It carries itself, Yeah it does. It does.
It's a light enough meeting that everybody is comfortable interacts.
It's not some stiff nice.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'm so glad to hear it. I don't need to
invite though.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Coming up at six fifty, Jody has three things to
know today and next, Sam is the food dude.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Going to start your week off with some free food
from Burger King.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Sam's always up on the new eats. He's the food dude.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Burger King is giving away free breakfast all week this week.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Okay, and excited are you?

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah? You have to be a Royal Perks member and
you know how these deals work. It's not it's free,
but you got to pay a little money.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
You know, you got to get something to get something.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
You three bucks roll Perks member. Every morning this week
there's a free option, free item. On tomorrow it's going
to be free coffee. And they're doing this every day.
And then coming up Saturday, which is Pie Day. I know,
you get a free pie at Burger King. Not a
whole pie, it's a lot of size Hershey's Sunday Pie
or the Cinnamon Apple Pie once you spend three dollars

(03:35):
and fourteen cents.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, there's so much competition in the breakfast space that
Burger King really has to raise their hand again.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
And well they're raising it because what there were mcmuffins
free last week for.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
No one dollar mcmuffins and sausage mcmuffins last Monday. Wow,
Chick fil A's added some new sandwiches. Actually it's one
sandwich and can get it three different ways, original, spicy
or grilled. It's Jilapeno Ranch Club, it's buttermilk ranch bun
with pepper jack cheese caramelized on you and flavored candy, bacon, lettuce, tomato,
pickled had apenos and a brand new jalapeno ranch sauce

(04:11):
on the side.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's a lot of stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
They've also added a new strawberry hibiscus upgrade for their drinks,
Like if you want to get strawberry hibiscus sprite or
strawberry hibiscus lemonade.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
This sounds nice.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Hibiscus is one of those healthy things.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
And it's natural, But I don't know if in fast
food land it's natural.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, they used to do it at What's the place
that closed down that had hibiscus tea that I like,
Zoey's Joey's. It was Zoey's.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, Zoey's Clothes.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Jimmy John's has new Mediterranean lineup. You can get a
regular giro, a chicken giro, a Greek cucumber salad, and
Tazeki sauce sauce love to Zeki sauce. You know, when
I was a kid, we called them gyros. It wasn't
until I was grown up that I realized we were
taught to say it wrong.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
That's okay, it's never too late to learn that you're
said something. Change.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
It not your fault. It's your mom's.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Fine, Miss Judy.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
You tell Murphy, I didn't say that, Judy.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Coming up next, Jody has your Hollywood.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Outsider trending Now.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Jody's Hollywood Outsider actress Christina Applegate has a new memoir
out called You with the Sad Eyes. Murphy, I'm going
to be reading this one next when I finished the
one I'm reading now. Anyway, Christina, she we first saw
her and got to know her and married with children.
Of course, she's been in movies. She was on Friends

(05:36):
as Rachel's sister. Remember she was also an anchorman.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I said, you are hair looks stupid.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
The Legend of Ron Burgundy. She was in that movie
and then.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Most recently the series that we watched Dead to Me,
which was great. And now she's retired, right.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yes, well, she spends most of her days in bed.
Now according to the book, she gets up to drive
her daughter Sadie to school, and you know, so she
has that time with her. There's so much from this.
She's battling MSS and that's all in the book, the memoir.
And she's always been so honest about everything, and they say,
that's what's different about this memoir. Another story that's come out,

(06:16):
not only that she ditched Brad Pitt one time.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, I saw that one was like wow.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
But that when she was first offered the role in Anchorman,
she said it was offensively low, that she almost turned
it down. The money, the money, and then Will Ferrell
and the director stepped in to make sure that she
got it. They gave up some of their pay to
make sure they could get her because they really wanted her.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
And then she said what she learned from the experience,
the improvisation experience, was invaluable. The book is out.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now, coming up at six fifty. Jody has three things
to note today.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
We have a Facebook message from Laurie I want to
share with you guys. Okay, it says my daughter who
is eighteen, just started her song ofphomore year of college
and was diagnosed with type one diabetes on December twenty third,
twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Wow, it just not that long ago.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Before Christmas.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah. I love listening to you guys. Every day. I
listened in the shower at home, I listen at work.
I've caught bits and pieces of Murphy talking about being diagnosed.
Where can I listen to more about it? It is
nice to hear other people's stories. I appreciate you guys
speaking about this. I mean, Laurie, of course you do.
You are brand new to type one diabetes, which is

(07:33):
a complete life shift.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
We were so a couple of recent podcasts After the
Show podcast where we talked about, you know.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Until morning pick me up?

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, good morning, picked me up from last week.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I say, let's do one today, Today's After the Show podcast. Okay, Well,
I like, let's take everybody through your diagnosis, Murphy. How
old you were, just say how young you were. You
weren't a child, and so you had to retrain your
whole life.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Whole late bloomer thing is becoming, you know, more.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
More common, and it is the most miss probably one
of the most misunderstood conditions, because it has nothing to
do with you didn't eat too much sugar, you didn't
do anything wrong, but your life has to change or
you won't survive it.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, because there are so few, I say so few
Type one diabetics. It seems like there are more, but
it's still only about six percent of the diabetic population,
and so that means ninety four percent of what you
hear out there, it really pertains to type two diabetes,
diet and those kinds of things. So when you're kind
of like on this own little island, you need other
people who experience the same thing to really connect. As

(08:36):
much as I love Jody, she's my best friend, she's
my everything in my life, there's something you know that Jeremy,
our coworker, and I can connect on in a deeper
level than Jody. You know, and again, because it's very real,
you you experience it, and the only other person who
actually understands it is the person who's going through it.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Also funny because whenever you've run into other type ones,
you go.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Hey, it's a bunch of hair. Yeah, exactly, it's an
immediate you know, but it's therapeutic. I mean, it's just
it really is helpful because you don't feel like you're
fighting all of those things alone. So we would be
glad to do another podcast on that. You know that
your daughter can listen to anybody else who's, you know,
Type one who kind of needs the encouragement or happy to.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
You're in a relationship with somebody who has type one diabetes. Yes,
what we need to know, so we'll do that today
in the after the Show podcast coming up next. Three
things to Know Today.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Three things to know today.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Number one, so filling up at the pump are even
more expensive. The average price of a gallon of gas
has gone up almost fifty cents since last week. At
this time, they're saying by the end of the month
it could go up even more. And that's of course
all because of the military action in the Middle East.
But the Energy Secretary said yesterday that this is going
to be short lived. They're saying, yes, it's going to

(09:50):
go up because the average price of per barrel, all
per barrel went up to over one hundred, but it's
going to be weeks, not months that that's what we're
being told. Okay, to some spring breakers having some travel
trouble right now because of the partial government shut down.
TSA agents, a lot of them didn't show up to
work this weekend because they've only been partially paid. So

(10:11):
a lot of the lines yes, oh, this is when
tsagents say you know what, No, I can't, I'm sick,
and so they're expecting more sick outs this week with
zero notice. To the airlines and to the airports. So
just know that that's what's going on with TSA. Number three,
This crazy story about Rihanna. She is safe after someone

(10:33):
a woman was taken into custody after allegedly firing multiple
shots from a vehicle toward her home while Rihanna was home.
This is in Beverly Hills. And yeah, it was like
an AR fifteen assault rifle. It's unclear if this person
has knows them, if it's random as it has anything,
but Rihanna was home but not injured.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
You're up to date. Three things to know today.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
It's Women's History Month and I have a story to
tell you. Guys have heard it. My best friends have
heard it. And every time someone knew hears it, it's like,
oh my god, you got to tell that story. And
so for young girls listening, for young kids listening, for
somebody new in the workplace or in the workforce, this

(11:19):
is a story you need to hear. And that is
how I got my start here with you guys. Okay,
because it wasn't always Murphy, Sam and Jody. It was
Murphy and Sam so a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
No I like this.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
You did have a female co host and she left.
She didn't want to work here anymore. And I was
a producer then, and I knew I had chemistry with
you too. From the moment the first day I worked
with you guys, I knew, oh, I might belong here
with you guys working you didn't get you didn't realize it.
Women's intuition, and that's fine. I kept my mouth shut

(12:00):
about it. But when the position was about to be filled,
I heard you guys talking about how you wanted to
hire a woman to lead, but you wanted someone who
had a previous experience.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, I asked Murphy. I was like, well, what about Jody,
she's here, and he goes.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
No, it wasn't just us. There were other people that
had were weighing in on it.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, you need to get something.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
You need somebody that's got a couple of years of experience.
So yeah, we weren't looking at you, and that that's fine.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
I overheard that you guys talking about starting to audition
women for this role, and I was like, I have chemistry,
I'm here and I want the opportunity. So I knew
that I had to ask for it. So this story
is about assertiveness. So I remember it was a Thursday afternoon,
Murphy was in his office. This is before I knew Murphy,

(12:48):
well before he knew probably even my last name. And
I stood outside of your office door and I knocked,
and you go, hi, Jody, and I said, I know,
I under that you guys are about to start auditioning
women for this role. I really think that you should
give me a shot. And I remember you you were like,
oh okay, and you did. You gave me a shot

(13:11):
the next Monday. And the story is I've never left
since that day. And that's true.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
It is true, and that's been twenty some odd years
ago now.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
So the truth of the matter is the moral to
the story is, if you want something, you have to
ask for. You can't assume that others around you are
going to just discover you.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, and even you, even if you've earned it, it doesn't.
It's not a judgment if they don't reach out to you.
It's always more important.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
You have to be as certain ask for what you want.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Coming up at seven fifty, Jody has three things to
know today and next your morning pick me.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Up morning pick me up time, And guys, what's so
cute here is that our friend Nora messaged Jody, did
you hear about the five year old boy who was
dropped off at the hospital alone for heart surgery and
ended up being adopted by the anesthesiologist. And I had
just read it. It was meant to be the pick

(14:04):
me up today because Nora. I had just read that
story and thought morning picked me up when I got
that message from you and Facebook messenger to Murphy Sama,
JODI's he's dropped off Just well, this was a while back.
This was a couple of years ago. We're just now
learning about this story. It's made national news because of
what's happened since. And you know, you never really know

(14:26):
all the stories of why children, some children at children's
hospitals are there without the support of family. We know
that from our friend Teddy, you know, who works at
a children's hospital, who tells us you just never know.
Sometimes it's not always you know, mom is there all
day long. It's not always that way. So he was
dropped off for heart surgery. He had been born with

(14:48):
a serious condition heart condition, and the anesthesiologist for his surgery,
her name was Amy. She just fell in love with
him and realized he doesn't even have a family, and
then so she was a part of the heart surgery.
He did okay. She really took to him, went home
and told her husband about him, and so they started

(15:08):
the process of adopting him. While fostering him, adopting him.
That realized along the way he had like four other
siblings who were also you know, didn't have a home right,
and so it was just difficult to circumstances that they
were all living they weren't living together. They were able

(15:28):
to somehow find stable homes for all of them, some
of them within their own family. Amy's sister, her husband's
family adopted one of these children, and so they're actually
going to be connected through an extended family network.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Now, all beautiful.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
That's the reason we're hearing about this story now because
I guess everything's been signed and it's been finalized that
all of these children have been adopted. Now a story
I'm telling you. By the way, his name is true,
and we don't know the siblings' names, but that's his name.
Isn't that cool? Anyway? She was the anesthesiologist for his
first surgery and now his mom.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
That is beautiful. Coming up next your Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Trending Now, Jody's Hollywood outsider.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
It's almost time for the box office to really explode
with summer coming spring, you know here in summer coming.
So there's the popcorn bucket thing is for real, it's
not going away. I can't believe how much some of
these popcorn buckets cost without popcorn in them. Yeah. So
the next one is the Super Mario Galaxy movie. It's

(16:37):
gonna have its very own special one featuring Yoshi holding
one of his eggs cracked open, and what's going to
be inside the egg?

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Popcorn?

Speaker 2 (16:45):
All of your popcorn.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
And these are collectibles, I'm assuming, right, Aren't all of
them just collectibles, not something printed on the regular cardboard?

Speaker 2 (16:52):
You know? No, no, no, no, they are. They look
like toys. They look like plastic toys. So to me,
if you're a kid, and it's so, it's if this
is your movie, you're going to take that thing home,
hopefully wash it out because it's got butter in it.
Might sleep with it, right, collectible, I don't know, but.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
You do know that these are running like fifty bucks
up to eighty bucks, the collectible ones.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, yeah, at the end, And I'm sure you know
that that's only going to continue if it's.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
A thing if people, if we continue to buy them, Sam,
have you ever bought one? No? Are you going to?

Speaker 3 (17:25):
We're gonna buy it?

Speaker 2 (17:26):
My favorite.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
I did see one for Project hail Mary. It's a
red helmet, like a space helmet, and the advisor opens
up and you put the popcorn in there.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
But you know, this is what my money's on. Once
you see that movie, you're you're gonna love it and
you're gonna want the bucket.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Coming up at seven fifty, Joy has three things to
note today.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Love hearing from you all the ways. Join us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube.
You can email us at Murphy Samonjody dot com. Katie
has been listening to the podcast and she has a
question for Sam, well for everybody, but it's directed at you, Sam.
About you getting excited about the movie Project Hail Mary
starring Ryan Gosling. You read the book, yes, and now

(18:09):
you can't wait. It's going to be an awesome movie,
she says, Is Sam sure about that movie Project hal
Mary being the best movie of the summer? The Mandalorian
movie will be in theaters Memorial Day.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
Never touched the buttons.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
It's true.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
I guess I'm going against my Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
You are Fred you are, You're letting a new alien
into your heart.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
The Mandalorian movie is going to be great. I just after.
Maybe it's because I'm hyped from reading the book the
project Hail Mary, but also seeing the t the trailers
for it. Yeah, and you know, I've read so much
about you know that according to what I've read online,
take it with a grain of salt. Yes, they didn't
use green screens. Everything is real, and they built these

(18:54):
giant sets for the inside the Stranger. Yeah, and Rocky
the alien it's not CGI. It's a puppet.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Oh. That is exciting to me.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
It's like, oh, I want to see how they pull
that off. If that's all legit stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
And he's a puppet or is he like a robot like.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Kermit the Fraud. It's a puppet, but I don't know
how they do it. I'm glad, but I want to see.
I mean, read the book and then you'll understand.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Okay, Well, so in your defense, and Katie, I'm glad
you brought it up because Sam is a Star Wars person.
And yes, I was surprised to hear you say that too.
It's so exciting in life when you are excited about
something like that in pop culture, especially a book, because
after you finish a really good book, you're glad to
have finished it because you know the whole story. Yeah,
I got the story, but you're sad to let it go.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, I want to read another book just like it,
and I may go back and read The Martian. The
same author wrote that one. Right, it's completely different, but
it's a space oriented YadA YadA YadA. And The Mandalorian. Yeah,
I'm gonna be there in the theater watching it.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
It's a special place when you you have to close
the book on something that you've enjoyed. So I remember
the first time our daughter Taylor finished reading The Hunger
Games Murphy and she came to me. She was so sad.
She was like, I feel like I've been in this
place and now I have to live in reality.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, it was sad in the book. But guess what's
coming in a couple of weeks. That's right, coming up next.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Jody has three things to know today.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Three things to know today.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Number One, if you're not sleeping enough or you're just
dealing with daylight saving time, you know that's not good
for you for your body's biological clock. Those who study
it say, if you want to get back on track
and feeling better, get outside every day for some real sunlight. Okay,
you know some sunshine if you can get it exercised
during the day, go to bed earlier for a week
or so, and of course don't eat much an hour

(20:46):
or two before going to bed. All the things that
we don't want to do.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, you're not kidding.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
That's all the things to take care of yourself.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
And feel that you're getting out in the sunlight. It
like resets the circadian rhythm.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's exactly it. Number two, the word is now from
Harvard Business Review Murphy less enough. If you use AI
tools too much at work, it causes brain fry, It
increases decision fatigue and causes more error error. So just no,
be more intentional with your AI use is their recommendation.

(21:20):
Don't use it for everything all day long. And number three,
the CEO of Ford has given Pope Leo a custom
Ford Explorer, oh even joined him for a test drive.
It was as symboled at their Chicago assembly plant, not
far from where he grew up. It's got the vanity
license plate dup Hope Leo fourteen.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Does horn do something I don't know Chicago.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Flag and City skyline or stitch into the center console.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Oh wow? Is the Halleluijah chorus?

Speaker 4 (21:52):
You're up to date? Three things to know Today.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Sam bring us Music News.

in conjunction with the new residency, she also dropped a
new song on us. She's got a new song with
David Getta. It's called Save Me Tonight, mister Dance.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Her voice sounds really good and strong.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, all right. Apparently she's been doing this in concert recently,
whenever she's performed, and so now she's just laid it
down and so we have saved me tonight. Speaking of singing,
you know actress Anne Hathaway. We know she can because
she's sang in Ley Miss Yeah. She has another movie
coming out in April called Mother Mary. And in this movie,

(22:48):
she's kind of a Gaga Taylor Swift hybrid is how
they're describing it. And she's a pop star who had
her run and now she's looking to get back in
the same old story, looking to get reinvent herself, reinvent herself.
So in this movie, Mother Mary, she's the pop star,
so she's gonna sing. They've released a new song from

(23:09):
Anne Hathaway. It's called Burials.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Say, man, that's good. She's gonna chart after this sounds
like Taylor Swift. She's gonna chart you watch after this movie.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
The song was written co written by her, Charlie XCX
and Jack Antonov, who's a big producer. He's worked with
Taylor Swift before. Two Cool Okay, and A and E
is leaning into their true crime documentaries. They're gonna kick
it up one notch and one of the new One
of the first ones they're gonna do is on Johnny Cash.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Wait true crime?

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, oh you want to hear what the true crime is? Well, yes, okay,
what's the title is? Johnny Cash The Man Comes Around.
This is gonna go back to a nineteen eighty one
Christmas Day home invasion of Johnny Cash's family. They were
take they were vacationing in Jamaica and they were robbed
by a masked gunman in their home.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
I didn't know this, you know, well, it wasn't even
walked along.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Apparently no one knew. It's going to be told for
the first time by Johnny himself. This is pre recorded.
He's told it before on audio and they have that audio.
So they're going to have that in the true crime documentary.
There's home video. They're going to talk to John Carter Cash,
his son who was also there at the time.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Was he robbed because he was Johnny Cash and family
or was it random?

Speaker 3 (24:30):
You're going to have to watch the documentary.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Well, guess what I will, and.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
It will be out in twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Coming up, Jody has another Hollywood outsider.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Let me set this up for you. You got to
go to a kid's birthday party, but you have no
idea what kind of gift to give them.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
I love my kids gifts.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
I stumbled upon one this weekend. I really didn't. It
was kind of a sam gift for my grandson Hollis.
He had a sixth or his seventh birthday party this
weekend six seven, who knows. Yeah, So I went and
bought a I was I was thinking, you know, what
do I get? What do I get? How about a

(25:07):
bunch of candy? Okay? Great? But it's all. It's all
in the presentation. I bought. I bought a wine bag,
you know, the tall bag. He put wine bottles in,
and I just got them wine. Well, it was non alcoholic,
and I loaded it with candy bars, by two dozen candy.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Bars, like full size. Yeah, full size.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Here's the fun part. Because it didn't occur to me.
I thought, oh, this is just cool. It's a bag
full of candy and it's like one of each Skittles,
sweet Tarts, Snickers, Hershey Bar, everything, all the good stuff. Well,
he opens the bag, he you know, pulls out the paper.
He pulls out Oh, it's a Snickers. And Sammy was
sitting there, my son. He hauns the hand the candy

(25:51):
bar to Sammy and he pulls out another one. Oh look,
I mister good bar hands it to him. And then
it just kept going and going, and everybody at the
party is like, oh my god, how long is this.
Somebody said, oh, it's the Mary Poppins bag.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
That is a fun idea.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
It was a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
I didn't realize that, you know, because it went on
for so long it was.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Going to be that right, Yeah, it is funny because
you know, they're gonna if you know, it's going to
be open in front of everybody. That's a cute idea.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
So you did the World Market thing? Did you do
like all the international candy bars.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Like he did the Walmart thing?

Speaker 3 (26:24):
I did the Walmart thing? Okay, and I had a
few more than I need to get. So that was
Dollar General.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Right, So you just got every single What was the
most unusual candy in there?

Speaker 3 (26:33):
I think I put a watch McCall it in there.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Okay, has he ever heard what is it? Does he
know all of this candy?

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah, he'd like he knew it. The one that he
liked the most was the skittles.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Okay. So and mom and dad had no problem with
this because you learned him up with sugar.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
I wondered about that, but it was fine. I got
a video later of him eating the skittles and it
was all gone.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
He will he'll never forget that you did that. And
so you have to continually do the gift. That's a
whole experience. Now next year I'll do a bigger bag,
all right. Coming up next your Hollywood Outsider, Jody's Hollywood Outsider,
get a little update on Britney Spears for you. After

(27:16):
the dui arrest last week, we know she has a
court date May the fourth, and she's gonna, you know,
be there to defend herself over this. The word is
is that she had you know, sort of been unraveling
in the months before that, and that those close to
her hope this ends with rehab. No jail time, but rehab.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
She was apparently driving really fast and erradically and led
police on a little bit of a chase.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Didn't they find some other substance in the car too
that they were testing.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Not that's not confirmed, So I didn't want to say.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
That when you think about the amount of rumors that
you know, surround her anyway.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
One of the saddest things I've read is that the
family is nervous to get involved. Of course they you know,
their family, they love her, but they're nervous to get
involved because the whole free Britney movement and it's like
they've done what they can what you know, and the
conservatorship has done. It's a mess of a situation. Let's
move on to Disney bringing us all these live action

(28:17):
movies and if you love a story like Beauty and
the Beast or a jungle book and they bring the
live action. It's like, oh, another way for you to
experience the story. They were talking about doing Robin Hood,
the nineteen seventy three animated Robinhood in live action, and
I'm like, yeah, please, And then they've canceled it already. Ah,
so I guess we got to go back to Kevin

(28:39):
Costner and Alan Rickman. It was a great Robin Join
the conversation anytime we mean it eight seven seven three
one zero four ms j Earlier.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Jody, you were talking about how to master your meetings.
If that's what you're responsible for, or if you're actually
in those meetings, you can kind of steer them if
you seem like dragon, you know forever. Okay, you can
do your part. You don't always have to be in
charge to make sure that things stay on track, you know.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh okay, how would you like me to try to
move a meeting along that I wasn't running.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
I think you do it. You do it in subtle ways.
And that's actually not my point of bringing this up.
It's not about you know, steering that. I was laughing
about what Sam had said about sending an email instead
instead of the meeting all together.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Well, that's one of those. But the memes that everybody
always an email.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
And it's but there actually is a little, you know,
thing of truth to that, because especially since COVID and
you know, work from home and teams meetings and zoom
and all that kind of stuff, the amount of meetings
actually for most people has increased as the result of that.
And so, you know, I think it's important, you know,
as a leader, that you really decide does it really

(29:49):
need a meeting or not? Is it follow up to
something you've talked about or not. You know, generally, if
you're introducing a new concept or idea, no one's going
to read a two page email to figure that way
that needs a meeting, you know what I mean. That
kind of passes the meeting test, but the follow up,
you know, that needs to be done, which actually winds
up being another issue with meetings is sometimes the follow
up's not there. But you can do that kind of

(30:11):
stuff without scheduling another meeting.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
If it were me and I thought it could be
an email instead of a meeting, I would say even
in the subject line, this will not be a meeting,
so please read every word, and I would keep it
short but I would want to make sure because I
find in our culture, work culture, people don't read emails.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh no, they don't know, they don't.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
So yeah, you go get it six seconds go right,
And it's usually because of the tonnage of them, or
you're reading so fast you miss key elements. Murphy, can
we go back to the beginning where you talked about
the subtle ways you can move a meeting along. Give
us a couple examples there.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, that would work in your meeting.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
You know, if you're not in charge of the meeting. Wow,
that's a good question. Probably asking a question of hey
can I can I talk about what I brought to
the meeting or something like that, or is it my
turn yet? To get us off the game again? Exactly,
transition out of whatever it is I was going to

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Say, distract him with a snack.
