Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam & Jody Daily Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I think we all know, everyone knows that weddings can
be expensive. That's why that recent trend of couples getting
married at the courthouse. Let's say in California, the courthouse
is like when the dates open, they get scooped up
right away months ahead of time because it's not something
you can just. like in a movie, decide to do.
You're there 10 minutes later. You actually have to have
an appointment to get married at the courthouse. And a
(00:27):
lot of couples are like, you know what? I'm not
going to spend, my parents aren't going to spend thousands
of dollars on this. You know, let's just.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Marry. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Simply.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
For the price of a little airfare, you can get
right in and out in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
You can get Elvis thrown in too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
But if you are throwing the big wedding, they say,
wedding planners say, there are hidden costs that you don't
necessarily realize until you've got all this stuff scheduled. So
for things that add up that you didn't put in
your wedding budget, because maybe you've never done this. Hopefully,
you know, your parents have never said, okay, let's do this. Like,
(01:05):
The first time you do all that is the first
time you do all that a lot of times.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
And then if you do it a second time, you
tend to get a little less expensive.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
That's why second weddings.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
That's another story for another day.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Second weddings are smaller, not just for the financials, but
just also you're kind of like... Let's not make a
huge deal.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Hey, at third weddings, even smaller.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, hadn't been there, Sam, but I hear you.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Okay, so tips. Couples, you know, even if you budget
for tips, vendors, hair and makeup artists, catering staff, drivers,
all of that, all of those people that are doing
stuff for you on that day and all those leading
up days, you need to work in the tips.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I wouldn't have thought of that.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Alterations for wedding dresses can run you up. And then tuxedos.
You know, and alterations happen sometimes just like you have
it altered. And then two, three months later, you need
it altered again right before the day of.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
That happens.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Meals for vendors. Like you do need to feed. When
you're setting the food budget, you need to feed the
photographers and the DJ. And you need to feed all
those people who you've shown up and you're also tipping.
You can't just say, no hot dogs for you. Hot dogs?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Whatever. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Okay. All right.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Jodi's again talking about the second wedding.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. A lot of
videos there from our podcast. Recently, the podcast about Murphy's
top management book recommendations, which Juan had asked for that,
like some book management.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, that was a listener email question that turned into that.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah. So a lot of recommendations there. You can go
back and search Murphy, Sam, and Jody anywhere you listen
to podcasts to hear all of that. Trace said, great advice,
meaning your advice about address the problem, not the person.
Sam had asked, what if the employee is the problem?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Because that's a good question.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And Murphy's answer was you address the problem, not the person.
Trace says, great advice, not easy to do, but it
is the best way to address any problem. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
That is so true. Yeah, even in your personal life,
that's just good communication skills, right?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Why are you laughing at that?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's just funny. When you said it's personal, I'm thinking, yeah,
I bet Murphy's used that trick on me, too.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
That's a trick.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Address the problem, not Jody. I will say this. If
you are an employee and your employer addresses the problem
and not you, it helps you to not take it
so personally. you know?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Well, the goal is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
The goal is to improve what it is that you do.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So you're correcting the problem, not the person.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Such good advice.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I have another question to follow up on that one. Yes,
we could like, okay, so, and this isn't for me.
You're asking for a friend, aren't you? That's it. Her
name starts with a J. No, just kidding. Okay. You
address the problem, not the person, but what if the
person won't let go of it and tries to make
it up? Oh, you're attacking me and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It's natural to take it personally.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. I think you
let the person express. You have to be willing to
let it express, but at some point you have to
redirect them.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I mean, ultimately, as the leader, you're in charge of
the conversation. So if it deteriorates into something that is
then disrespectful, that's where you change the conversation.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Then you show them the door.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
But I've never really encountered that where somebody took it
that far. I think once you give somebody a chance
to really express and just get out of their system,
then their head is clear and you can proceed.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You see that? That's his magic. He is management magic.
That's how you got me. Like, that's how we were
starting to date.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I was like, well, I let you express, get it
out of your system.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No, you just worked on me. Well, we worked together first.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
We did. All right.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Jody's Hollywood outsider.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Here's some very big news about HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series. Now, remember,
Season one comes out on Christmas Day, season one being
the first book.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Do you know if they're dropping the whole season at
once or they're going to do, since it's HBO, they
might do.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The one a week? I think it's the Sunday night
thing where you have to wait, which actually is a
better way to absorb it and enjoy it. It actually is.
You know, binging, you don't remember as much. The enjoyment's
not there. But this is huge news because we had
heard a couple of weeks back that for season two,
they had cast actor Nicholas Holt to play Professor Gilderoy Lockhart,
(05:43):
who in the second book, if you remember and you
know the series, he's the obnoxious professor who is in
love with himself and he takes credit for things he
never does. Well, Nicholas Holt has had to back out
of that because he's busy playing Lex Luthor. in the
Superman world, and he's got other projects. Well, guess who
they have cast? None other than actor, and you know
(06:04):
him from Game of Thrones, Kit Harington.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You're not guilty of your father's crimes, and I'm not
beholden to my ancestors' vows.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
What?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So he's going to be Lockhart in the second season,
and he's already sort of done this because he did
the voice work for the audiobooks last year where he
did Lockhart, the Lockhart character. And they heard it and
they thought, let's cast him. And he's beautiful anyway. And
Lockhart's in love with himself anyway, right? So it's perfect.
(06:33):
Do you want to hear the story about one of
the ways I handle it when I've had a bad
day at work with Murphy? A mad day, I call it.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I got my popcorn. I'm ready for it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
We haven't had any mad days lately though, right?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
We had one not too, too, too long ago earlier
in the summer and I was frustrated and carrying it,
and I was still mad at you, and I hadn't
talked to you since we had worked on something together.
And this is an example of, you know, he's Murphy
at work, and he's my husband at home. He's two
(07:07):
people to me. I try to roll that way, but,
you know, things get jumbled up. Boundary lines get crossed,
and I'm human. So I finally came home that afternoon
and And I was thinking, okay, we're just going to
talk about it right away. Because that is something we
do in our relationship. When there's something wrong, we don't
let it fester. We talk.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
We do.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So I'm like, hit the door. He's already sitting on
the sofa. He's blaring music. And ironically, it's something I
had asked him. I'm like, you've got to listen to
the Keith Urban Flow State Yacht Rock album because it's
so good. So he is blaring it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Because that's how much stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Hey, Jody, come on in.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And I'm so mad, seething. And I'm looking at him
and I'm like, you again. Here he is. And he
looks over at me with this smile and he goes, hey,
you're right, this is good. And I'm just like, I'm
daggers at this point because I'm still carrying, you know,
what we had really butted heads on. What we do
(08:08):
here is very collaborative and creative and Murphy is a
very in charge person and I have a lot of
ideas and so do you, Sam. And so sometimes we
do butt heads.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Passionate people butt heads.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And so that's one of the things that happens. And
that's the example. That's what I mean when they say
men are like waffles and women are like spaghetti. You
can compartmentalize things into little boxes. So that thing was
something completely different to you, a different universe. But me,
I'm spaghetti. I was still jumbled all up in it.
(08:38):
I walked in the door like, About whatever you had
said to me at work. And I don't even remember
what it is now.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
That's wild.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You know, I didn't think of it in those terms.
It was Keith Urban and waffles. I didn't put that together.
Did it calm you down any, though?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Keith Urban did. And then Murphy's way of being, hey,
it's a whole new day.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It did work. So it worked, Murphy.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
We asked, and boy, did you respond. Do you wash waffles?
new clothes before wearing them. You buy something at a store,
do you wash it first?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
The comments that are rolling in about this. Oh, absolutely.
Don't know where they've been or who's touched them or
whatever production chemicals are on them.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I think that's the big thing. The question is on that.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But the answer for me is it depends.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's Kimberly. I like to wash them first, but I
have had a few situations where I had to change
right then into the clothes. So I guess it depends
on the situation. That's from Kim. Gingy said, only underwear.
She only washes underwear first. Shout out for that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, I can see that. You don't want color chemicals
pressing up against things.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
No, and just people have touched, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Anyway. Not if it's in a package, right?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Lisa said, I got a bad skin rash one time
by not washing before wearing. Never made that mistake again. Yeah.
That depends on you, too. If you have sensitive skin,
you don't know what the shipping situation was. You don't
know what the chemical situation is.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Do you wash yours before you.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Most of the time, yes. I will say this. A
really good pair of jeans, I try to wash... As
seldom as possible because, you know, it changes the makeup
of the jeans.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well, really any clothing like that, if it's not something
you're going to sweat in or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
The more that you wash it, the more you wear
it out.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah. Amelia says, yes, when they're in a warehouse, bugs
get on them. Even rats are dropping. And if chemicals
are used to prevent that, it definitely needs to be washed. Plus,
clothing and clothing stores can be tried on and people
are sweaty and you don't know who the last person
was to wear what you're bringing home. Wow. Good points.
All good points. Well made. This is Jason. I worked
(10:53):
retail for too long. Saw people even wipe things on clothes.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
What?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
He just means like if you have sticky hands and
kids with ice cream or whatever. Don't be grossed out
with the word wipe. And then his final thing is
people are gross. Angela says, no, she doesn't. I'm lazy.
You know, you have that choice. I feel like it
is situational, like Murphy said. But for the most part,
(11:21):
people who work in retail will recommend that you wash
things first before you wear them.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Well, I know people who travel, certain things, they'll bring
an extra shirt that's been just recently purchased, and they
leave it in the package until they get to the
hotel room or whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Also, Kathy, it depends. Dark wash jeans, yes. That makes sense.
And underwear. Underwear getting a lot of votes here. Are
there any stores, guys, or retail experiences for you that
are overwhelming? Ever had that feeling?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Really?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Certain grocery stores, if it's just too hectic or they
have the aisles too close together. I mean, like Walmart, Target,
they're wide open. You can cruise around there. Depending. But
some of the local stores.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, see, it's funny you say that, though. Local stores,
that doesn't bother me at all. I find that intimate.
I think that it's been some of the larger Walmarts
and those kind of things, those are the ones that
become a bit, they're cavernous, you know? Cavernous, correct.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah. I don't think there's any retail experience in the
world that's too much for me. I love it. But
I had an experience with a friend. I took her
to one of those big Christmas shopping experiences. Like, you
know what I mean? Yeah. It was like in October, November,
and there was all kinds of different vendors.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Oh, you're talking about the kind that's in a civic center.
That's huge.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
But it's about the size of a Costco.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah, I've been to those, too, and those do are
kind of much.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Okay, well, I walked in. I was so excited to
bring her, and I was ready to stop until I dropped.
And she was like, she touched my, I'll never forget,
touched my arm and said, Jodi, I can't stay here.
And I'm thinking, but look at all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, it's like a wonderland.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I bring it up because another retailer, and I think
this is beautiful and I wanted to shout it out,
Sephora is rolling out quiet hours shopping experiences worldwide. And
quiet hours, in case you don't know about them, they
happen at places like Target and different retailers offer it
for people who have that neurodiversity, those kind of issues,
(13:29):
neurological differences. Mm-hmm. Those with ADHD, those with autism.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Easily overstimulated.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Tourette's. Like, there are a lot of things that fall
under sort of that umbrella. And so people who get
overwhelmed easily, it's too much of a sensory experience. But
guess what? They need to roll into Target, too.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And so the quiet hours. But understand, anybody is welcome
during the quiet hours.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Look, I think I would love to go to Sephora
during quiet hours, but I find it soothing going to Sephora, really,
at any time.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You like the way it smells.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I do love the way it smells.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And Murphy loves all the attendance, all the, can I
help you with something? Murphy loves that personal attention, and
you get it there. And you'll just have to look
it up online, because it's worldwide, different quiet hours for
different zip codes. But it's happening at Sephora now, just
to improve the experience, and then To me, it seems
(14:22):
like it's something that's going to be happening all across retail.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
That would be smart, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Morning pick-me-up time. Let's get picked up.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Oh, this one's going to be fun today. I want
to introduce you to Samuel Henderson. He is a child
in Choctaw, Oklahoma. And you may have seen his videos
on social media. He's had a new round of them
going viral recently. And you may know him as Bird
Call Boy. He does bird calls. And he does bird
calls with his voice. He doesn't use any tricks or
(14:53):
anything like that. He can do 114 different bird calls.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
What?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yes. It's amazing. You're going to love this, Jody. We're
going to do 114? No, no, no, no. We only
got a handful of these. He started when he was
four years old at the local zoo. He was at
the zoo and he saw a bird on the garbage
can making a noise and he did it. And his
mom was like, wow, that was just like that.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
He just has a natural knack for this.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yes. He was even in a school talent show a
couple years ago. So here we go. Here's some of
his bird calls. I'll let him take it away.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
First, we get the barred owl.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's correct that is correct well and we we had
a neighbor that could do that same.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Thing yeah but he wasn't a kid yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
No i know but that's perfect all right how about
a couple crows.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Here and you know there's two different species of crows
in the united states the fish crow and the american
crow the fish crow is what i'm going to do
first then the american crow.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Whoa. That's incredible. Here we go. Here's a Purple Martin.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That's the Purple Martin. Oh, that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Now, Samuel lives with autism and Tourette's. He recently put
out a second video on TikTok. The NFL even picked
him up recently, and they did a post with his
bird calls for the teams that have bird mascots, like
the Falcons and the Ravens. He did the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
The Northern Cardinals. Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Can't leave out the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
This is a red-toed hawk.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
That one gets me.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I know.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I wonder if he just naturally is this way. Does
he say he has to practice?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Maybe he was a bird in a former life.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
And when he goes outside, he talks to everybody.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
That's him!
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I hope it still works when his voice changes.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Cheap, cheap, cheap.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Samuel Henderson, thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Jody's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
There is a new show I'm happy to report for
HBO Max. It's doing really well, and it did really
well in its first three days. Like nine and a
half million global views, which is a big deal for
streaming because there's a hundred million things to stream, okay?
This is DC Studios' Lanterns, and I'm even thinking about
giving it a shot because of one person, and that
(17:20):
is one of my favorites, actor Kyle Chandler. All right,
new lesson. Take the ring.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You fly. Just fly. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Fly, please.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
What is it about?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
See, he's a smart aleck like that. I watched the
first episode. The second one was last night, but it
was too late. I'll catch it later.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Is it based on Green Lantern?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Yeah. Kyle Chandler is the Green Lantern for Earth in
this area. And he's got a trainee with him.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
And so he's training, but he's snarky about it. So
he's training the new generation of Green Lantern. Green Lantern
is one of those superheroes that I never have understood completely,
but as I understand it, he has his own It's
not just like a shield.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's a ring. Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Ooh, a ring.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, the ring does everything for him.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Are you going to keep watching it?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Oh, yeah. I think the first episode kind of establishes everything,
but it looks good enough like this is going to
be good. And this is the HBO Sunday night thing,
so you know they're putting money into it.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Oh, yes.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Kyle Chandler just draws me into whatever role he's in.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Me too, Murphy. Streaming now.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Have you ever had to give a very close friend
a job performance review and be impartial doing it?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well, you know, telling the truth, HR usually doesn't want
you doing reviews for your.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Friends, right? Well, actually, Murphy's done me before. Oh, well,
that's true.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Murphy's done plenty of performance reviews. That's the interesting thing
about it. If people work together for a very long time...
Very often, they become close friends, even if one is
considered the supervisor. I know why you're bringing this up.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Well, in a small office, too, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I know why you're bringing this up. So it's performance
review time around here. Yeah. And Murphy can't review me because... This.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Little thing called marriage.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
We're married.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Right. But on paper, you know, I think you had
to make arrangements for you not to be the one
directly supervising me.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Well, I mean, it's not just on paper. Whatever, with
the company. Yeah, in most companies, it's like spouses. One
can't be the direct supervisor of another.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So Murphy's not my direct supervisor.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
But guess who is? Sam is.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Sam is.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So it's performance review time, and Sam has asked to
call the meeting with me.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Here's what's funny is we had to do the mid-year
performance self-evaluation, which we all did.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
So strange.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
And I thought, okay, that task is done. Gone till Christmas.
And then I get the email, hey, okay, Jody did it. hers,
so now you have to go over it with Jody
and evaluate Jody's self-evaluation. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
I didn't know that was part of the deal.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Do you even know how to do that?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
You're evaluating my evaluation?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, I have to look at the instructions to see
what I have to do.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, I'm sure Murphy could give you some pointers since
he did yours.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, I mean, it shouldn't be too much, right? she's
saying what she does well and what she doesn't do well.
All you have to do is agree or disagree. Those
are the instructions, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Did you note what I said I don't do well?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I haven't read it yet. Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Oh, did you say you don't do things well? I
thought you did everything well.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
See, he should do my performance.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
That's why he's not doing it. She's awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
She's beautiful. Hence the separation rule, yes.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, I was honest with areas where I can improve.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well, they want us to pick out at least one
that we can improve. I guess they got tired of
everybody getting hundreds.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I'm the best. I am great. And then you go
to Murphy. Yeah, you're the best.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You're great. But it's true that, you know, I mean,
the longer that you were the player, you still need
to evolve. Everybody needs to continue growing. Even if you're
great at what you do, there's always the next thing.
So I understand.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I was honest. I think I the place I said
I needed work was like really getting involved in all
the systems.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And the technology.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, but, you know, do you really want to do that? No. Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
So please review me.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I give you a pass on that one.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Nothing about trying to figure out how to work with
your husband.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
There's not enough of time. We were saying earlier in
National Parks so that you don't get, like, launched by
a bison, which happened this week. We all saw Mr. McDaniel.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
It looks cooler than it feels.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I'm sure. It doesn't look cool.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Well, you know what I mean. I'm glad he's not.
I mean, he broke his leg in three places.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I'm just saying. I'm with Murphy. It looked cool. That's
why it went viral. It did not.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's why it went viral because people are like, whoa.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It would have gone viral if you didn't see the launch.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
But I know.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Sam said there's already a T-shirt for the launch.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Well, every news website you go to, it's frozen, that
freeze frame of him in the shape of an X.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
You know what, too? There's even an AI video of it.
He's chasing the bison.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Okay, I don't want to see that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Is there really?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Nobody needs that. We were saying you have to stay away.
Is it 75 feet to 150 feet from all wild
animals in national parks? That's the recommendation. And then we
touched on the fact that in the Grand Canyon, the
number one animal incident, squirrel bites. Like the Grand Canyon,
(22:18):
the most dangerous things there are Mountain lions and rattlesnakes.
Rattlesnakes is what I was looking for when I was
in the Grand Canyon.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I would be careful of those.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I was freaking out.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Any reason to worry about scorpions?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I mean, sure.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah, and that donkey ride down the ledge.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
They wouldn't let me ride the donkey. I kind of
wanted to, kind of didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Because there were too many rattlesnakes.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Listen, squirrel bites are number one. The reason being, the
visitors associate, oh, cute little squirrel, just like the cute
little squirrel. But those are not cute little squirrels.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
They.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
They're aggressive. They're living in the wild and they associate
humans who go through the park with food because you
got trail mix and you got all the things they
can smell. And so those rodents associate you with food
and they are aggressive. They are not afraid of you.
They don't duck and run when you come. They see you.
They want your trail mix. People have had run-ins with
(23:12):
squirrels a lot. And it is a concern because they,
squirrel bites, they do have, some of them have rabies
and things like that. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I mean, I don't want to, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
So Murphy really doesn't want to go hiking in.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
The Grand Canyon now. I don't want to be launched
by a bison or bitten by a squirrel, honestly, Jody.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Just so you know.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
And also, it's kind of lame. Oh, yeah, I got
bit by a squirrel at the Grand Canyon. It's not lame. Oh, yeah,
I got launched by a bison.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Sam, you said something the other day. We have all
these videos online and on reels, on social media, and
you can follow Murphy, Sam and Jody and see them all.
And we were talking about, you were saying you're very
comfortable being single now. And you were saying that if
the unicorn comes along, and I just want you to know,
we have so many comments about you saying that word
(24:00):
unicorn with regards to someone.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I'm happy single and it's going to take a unicorn
to get me out of that.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I just want to read some of these to you.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Metaphorically speaking.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Julie says, I have not dated since my divorce. And
kind of like Sam, if the unicorn comes along, great.
If not, I'm good. Teresa, I love being single. And
like you, it would be nice to have a unicorn
to change my mind. Or we take a unicorn to
change my mind.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
It was a funny, you know, because everybody knows what
you mean.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Once you're comfortable in the single space, it takes some convincing.
For you to get back into the relationship.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
You mean the person who checks every box is what
you're saying.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, he checks the boxes. I don't even know where
box is.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You didn't know you needed that special unicorn horn until
you found it. Karen says, so a unicorn stands a chance?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Some others. Valerie. I like being single, but man, would
be fun to find a unicorn. This one keeps coming up. Cadet. Ah, yes,
the unicorn. I agree. So many unicorn comments. I do
want to just interject as someone who is married. I
know this is a single conversation. There can be someone
(25:14):
who checks most of your boxes, even all of your boxes,
and can be your unicorn, but it doesn't mean they're perfect.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Do I check all your boxes, Jodi?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I mean, yes. Yes.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Oh, that's hesitant.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
No, no, no. Murphy's a unicorn?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
No, Murphy is my unicorn.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Aw.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
But just what I'm saying is we're not perfect. Oh, no,
we're not. Don't not date because someone doesn't seem perfect.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Is all I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Some boxes are more important to check than the others, right?
I'm not dating because I know myself now. And you
only date unicorns, apparently, right?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
All I'm saying is want the unicorn, but don't expect
a perfect magical creature. Oh. Expect a human being.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Maybe a leprechaun.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Morning pick-me-up time. Raise your hand if you're an over-thinker.
I'm laughing because I knew Sam's hand was going to
go up.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
I wasn't sure if I should raise it or not.
I am.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I think I'm an overthinker also.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Of course you are, Murphy. Yes, we all are. That's
why we're birds of a feather.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
What's weird is I'm not an overthinker in all things, though. Like,
I made an impulse buy on eBay the other day.
You don't even know about it yet, Jodi. It's one
I really should have thought about and overthought before I
bought it.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
eBay and Amazon, he doesn't overthink.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Okay, so the word is a lot of us are.
Americans are overthinkers. We have a lot of choices in
front of us.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Boy, that's true.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And we have this perfectionist thing where we think we
have to make the perfect choice, which is not good.
So if you would like, and there's a psychiatrist who said, look,
do the rule of three. I know you'd like the
rule of three when it comes to decisions. Narrow your options.
to like two or three things, whether it's something you're
wearing or, you know, you're going on a trip and
(27:02):
you have a hundred choices, narrow it down to two
or three choices, three choices, and you can make that
decision more quickly. The second part of this is give
yourself a deadline. If it's a small decision, three minutes.
If it's a big decision, three months, three years, but
give yourself deadlines.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
You like that?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I do like that. I, you know, I hope that
doesn't put too much pressure on me.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
To make a snap decision.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
On eBay. And then the final one is limit outside
options and opinions. If it's whether you're to break up
with somebody, don't talk to everybody about it. If you
have a couple of trusted people or if it's to
keep a job or limit your, you know, the outside observations.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
You're saying too many choices mean you lock up.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Right. It's too much information, especially if you're already an overthinker.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That's a really good point.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
So the rule of threes, there are three things and
all of them contain three.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
That's nine things.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
That's a lot to sort through.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Narrow your options to three, like three shirts, three dresses, whatever,
whatever you're trying to choose. Give yourself a deadline. Yeah.
Three minutes, three days, three months, whatever it is, just
so you can remember it. And then the three, limit
outside options and opinions to three.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Okay, do you feel better?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I feel a lot better.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
What about you, Sam? You're just confused?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I have to read this again. Jody's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
If there is a show that you love, would it
upset you greatly to know that the idea was stolen
or do you not care?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I mean, I don't want anything to be stolen from anybody.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Would you care?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I would like to see them work it out, but
if I'm enjoying the show, I'm enjoying the show.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Some creative ideas are really just an iteration of something
from before.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I even know somebody that says steal from me and
you've stolen twice.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
And it's true.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Okay, so this is about Yellowstone and the mastermind being
Taylor Sheridan. We know his name. He's been accused, and
we've heard this before, of lifting ideas from another writer
a decade ago and then creating Yellowstone. Yellowstone. Her name
is Lauren. She has officially filed suit against him, claiming
that she pitched the idea, a Western drama called Sovereign Nation.
(29:20):
She has the written work to bring it to court.
She pitched it to his management company at that time,
Elevate Entertainment. In 2016, she pitched it. And what she
was told right after that meeting, that pitch meeting was,
thank you. Taylor, thanks you very much for your interest. Unfortunately,
he's unavailable for TV projects.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
He's known for TV projects now. You know, Yellowstone got
greenlit right after that and began. And so she is
bringing him to court and he has no comments yet.
But wouldn't you hate to go up against him in court?
We'll keep you up to date. I have a personal
little message, something I just want to say. So I
(30:02):
know we are all over social media, Murphy, Sam and Jodi.
And so it happens to me very often lately in
the last several years. But lately, this summer especially, I'll
be walking through a store and someone will go, hey, Jodi,
I know you. We listen. And it's been wonderful. Like
it happened two days ago.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Well, it's cool because it's like you get the in-person
connection of somebody.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Right.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
And it's always like a sudden, oh, I know you. Hi. Like,
I mean, in TJ Maxx, in the grocery store, in
any place, it happens. I want to say hi to Janine.
I loved meeting you the other day. I was trying
on sunglasses. She's like, Jodi. So we ended up talking.
And then we saw each other again at the clearance section.
And she helped me pick out a little, I bought
(30:46):
a new jean jacket, which you know I need, Murphy. Anyway,
and it happened the other day with Amelia in the
grocery store. But what happened, what is happening is it's
two points of contact. At first, like, hey, I know you. Oh, hi.
And I'm like, hey, what's your name? And we speak.
And then we go our separate ways and we shop.
And then at the end, like I saw Amelia again
at checkout and she came up to me and said,
(31:08):
I'm sorry if I startled you or did it that way.
And Janine did the same thing the other day in
TJ Maxx. Like after when we saw each other at clearance,
she was like, I'm sorry I did it that way.
Please don't apologize for saying hello. That's what I wanted
to say. If you see me, I don't care if
I'm at the gas station and if I look like
I'm having a horrible day. If you recognize, please come
(31:28):
say hello. I love it. And there's no need to
apologize for the way you said hello. You guys ever
have that happen?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
No, I'm not as famous as you. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Since I walk around with standoffish face, I guess I
don't get it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
No, I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I guess that Janine and Amelia recently.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Well, if you know somebody, but they don't know you.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Then I understand that that's, I think that's the polite
way that anybody would want to handle it. I know
that you don't want somebody to apologize necessarily, but I
think that that's just human nature.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
It's just happened several times lately that it's like this
point of contact and then they come back and say,
I'm sorry if I did it weird. I'm like, there's
no weird. In fact, if you see me, please come
say hello. What I told Janine in TJ Maxx was
that I want you to come say hello. That's the
point for you to know us so you do know me.
And I'll see you next weekend, Janine.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
In the clearance center.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Social Media Connect. We hear you. We read and see
every single thing. Comment, email, suggestion that rolls in. So
keep it all coming. You can also call anytime, 877-310-4MSJ.
We have an email from Cynthia. This is about the
collectible red lobster glasses that Murphy's mom used to collect.
(32:49):
You had the lighthouse and you had, I thought, I
remember you saying there was a naked lady glass.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, I don't know why I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I would think you would.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
We have the lighthouse one.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Cynthia said the naked lady was indeed a mermaid on
the red lobster glass. Google, guys. Use the Google and have.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
A great day. That's what she said.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Always Google.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
We still have the lighthouse. I use it as a
vase when we have a little bunch of flowers.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So the lighthouse doesn't have the mermaid on it. No.
It's a different glass.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
They're very different. They're very different. Okay. This also rolled
into murphysamandjody.com from Doug. In regards to men's shapewear, we
were sharing that over the summer again that, you know,
Sam sometimes wears shapewear. Murphy bought one, too.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Only fancy occasions. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
You have one.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I've only worn it once.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
The whole t-shirt is it like a.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
It's like it's sleeveless.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Okay I was recommended to wear shapewear as back support
as I have lower back issues this is from Doug
I have what amounts to corsets high-waisted briefs boxers and
adult onesies they do keep the pressure off of my
lower back as well as support the abdomen when shopping
go for the ones with whalebone without vertical supports they
(34:02):
quickly bunch up in the middle the onesies can't slide
down as they start at the shoulders and They have
an adjustable compression waist belt. You can take care of
personal needs in them. Okay.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
All right.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Well, that's good to know.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Without having to get a dress. Women have known that forever.
Women who have been wearing shapewear forever know that you
can go to the ladies' room without having to take
the whole thing off. There's a little door.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Doug called it something else that I decided not to
say here on the show.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
That's great, Doug.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
You know, the only high-waisted briefs I ever had were
involuntary in school, you know, on the playground.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Those are called wedgies. Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
It's so funny because I didn't know that shapewear for
men was a thing until we were talking about shapewear
and the mistakes that people make with it. Mainly the
biggest mistake is buying it too small. Buy your size.
It's meant to smooth at your size. And then that's
when Sam admitted that he... sometimes wears the shapewear. Does
yours have a little door?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
No, I only have the top shirt. Don't need a door.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Love hearing from you. Keep it coming.
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam & Jody Daily Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I think we all know, everyone knows that weddings can
be expensive. That's why that recent trend of couples getting
married at the courthouse. Let's say in California, the courthouse
is like when the dates open, they get scooped up
right away months ahead of time because it's not something
you can just. like in a movie, decide to do.
You're there 10 minutes later. You actually have to have
an appointment to get married at the courthouse. And a
(00:27):
lot of couples are like, you know what? I'm not
going to spend, my parents aren't going to spend thousands
of dollars on this. You know, let's just.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Marry. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Simply.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
For the price of a little airfare, you can get
right in and out in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
You can get Elvis thrown in too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
But if you are throwing the big wedding, they say,
wedding planners say, there are hidden costs that you don't
necessarily realize until you've got all this stuff scheduled. So
for things that add up that you didn't put in
your wedding budget, because maybe you've never done this. Hopefully,
you know, your parents have never said, okay, let's do this. Like,
(01:05):
The first time you do all that is the first
time you do all that a lot of times.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
And then if you do it a second time, you
tend to get a little less expensive.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
That's why second weddings.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
That's another story for another day.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Second weddings are smaller, not just for the financials, but
just also you're kind of like... Let's not make a
huge deal.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Hey, at third weddings, even smaller.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, hadn't been there, Sam, but I hear you.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Okay, so tips. Couples, you know, even if you budget
for tips, vendors, hair and makeup artists, catering staff, drivers,
all of that, all of those people that are doing
stuff for you on that day and all those leading
up days, you need to work in the tips.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I wouldn't have thought of that.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Alterations for wedding dresses can run you up. And then tuxedos.
You know, and alterations happen sometimes just like you have
it altered. And then two, three months later, you need
it altered again right before the day of.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
That happens.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Meals for vendors. Like you do need to feed. When
you're setting the food budget, you need to feed the
photographers and the DJ. And you need to feed all
those people who you've shown up and you're also tipping.
You can't just say, no hot dogs for you. Hot dogs?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Whatever. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Okay. All right.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Jodi's again talking about the second wedding.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. A lot of
videos there from our podcast. Recently, the podcast about Murphy's
top management book recommendations, which Juan had asked for that,
like some book management.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, that was a listener email question that turned into that.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah. So a lot of recommendations there. You can go
back and search Murphy, Sam, and Jody anywhere you listen
to podcasts to hear all of that. Trace said, great advice,
meaning your advice about address the problem, not the person.
Sam had asked, what if the employee is the problem?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Because that's a good question.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And Murphy's answer was you address the problem, not the person.
Trace says, great advice, not easy to do, but it
is the best way to address any problem. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
That is so true. Yeah, even in your personal life,
that's just good communication skills, right?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Why are you laughing at that?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's just funny. When you said it's personal, I'm thinking, yeah,
I bet Murphy's used that trick on me, too.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
That's a trick.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Address the problem, not Jody. I will say this. If
you are an employee and your employer addresses the problem
and not you, it helps you to not take it
so personally. you know?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Well, the goal is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
The goal is to improve what it is that you do.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So you're correcting the problem, not the person.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Such good advice.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I have another question to follow up on that one. Yes,
we could like, okay, so, and this isn't for me.
You're asking for a friend, aren't you? That's it. Her
name starts with a J. No, just kidding. Okay. You
address the problem, not the person, but what if the
person won't let go of it and tries to make
it up? Oh, you're attacking me and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It's natural to take it personally.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. I think you
let the person express. You have to be willing to
let it express, but at some point you have to
redirect them.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I mean, ultimately, as the leader, you're in charge of
the conversation. So if it deteriorates into something that is
then disrespectful, that's where you change the conversation.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Then you show them the door.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
But I've never really encountered that where somebody took it
that far. I think once you give somebody a chance
to really express and just get out of their system,
then their head is clear and you can proceed.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You see that? That's his magic. He is management magic.
That's how you got me. Like, that's how we were
starting to date.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I was like, well, I let you express, get it
out of your system.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No, you just worked on me. Well, we worked together first.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
We did. All right.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Jody's Hollywood outsider.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Here's some very big news about HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series. Now, remember,
Season one comes out on Christmas Day, season one being
the first book.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Do you know if they're dropping the whole season at
once or they're going to do, since it's HBO, they
might do.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The one a week? I think it's the Sunday night
thing where you have to wait, which actually is a
better way to absorb it and enjoy it. It actually is.
You know, binging, you don't remember as much. The enjoyment's
not there. But this is huge news because we had
heard a couple of weeks back that for season two,
they had cast actor Nicholas Holt to play Professor Gilderoy Lockhart,
(05:43):
who in the second book, if you remember and you
know the series, he's the obnoxious professor who is in
love with himself and he takes credit for things he
never does. Well, Nicholas Holt has had to back out
of that because he's busy playing Lex Luthor. in the
Superman world, and he's got other projects. Well, guess who
they have cast? None other than actor, and you know
(06:04):
him from Game of Thrones, Kit Harington.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You're not guilty of your father's crimes, and I'm not
beholden to my ancestors' vows.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
What?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So he's going to be Lockhart in the second season,
and he's already sort of done this because he did
the voice work for the audiobooks last year where he
did Lockhart, the Lockhart character. And they heard it and
they thought, let's cast him. And he's beautiful anyway. And
Lockhart's in love with himself anyway, right? So it's perfect.
(06:33):
Do you want to hear the story about one of
the ways I handle it when I've had a bad
day at work with Murphy? A mad day, I call it.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I got my popcorn. I'm ready for it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
We haven't had any mad days lately though, right?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
We had one not too, too, too long ago earlier
in the summer and I was frustrated and carrying it,
and I was still mad at you, and I hadn't
talked to you since we had worked on something together.
And this is an example of, you know, he's Murphy
at work, and he's my husband at home. He's two
(07:07):
people to me. I try to roll that way, but,
you know, things get jumbled up. Boundary lines get crossed,
and I'm human. So I finally came home that afternoon
and And I was thinking, okay, we're just going to
talk about it right away. Because that is something we
do in our relationship. When there's something wrong, we don't
let it fester. We talk.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
We do.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So I'm like, hit the door. He's already sitting on
the sofa. He's blaring music. And ironically, it's something I
had asked him. I'm like, you've got to listen to
the Keith Urban Flow State Yacht Rock album because it's
so good. So he is blaring it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Because that's how much stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Hey, Jody, come on in.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And I'm so mad, seething. And I'm looking at him
and I'm like, you again. Here he is. And he
looks over at me with this smile and he goes, hey,
you're right, this is good. And I'm just like, I'm
daggers at this point because I'm still carrying, you know,
what we had really butted heads on. What we do
(08:08):
here is very collaborative and creative and Murphy is a
very in charge person and I have a lot of
ideas and so do you, Sam. And so sometimes we
do butt heads.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Passionate people butt heads.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And so that's one of the things that happens. And
that's the example. That's what I mean when they say
men are like waffles and women are like spaghetti. You
can compartmentalize things into little boxes. So that thing was
something completely different to you, a different universe. But me,
I'm spaghetti. I was still jumbled all up in it.
(08:38):
I walked in the door like, About whatever you had
said to me at work. And I don't even remember
what it is now.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
That's wild.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You know, I didn't think of it in those terms.
It was Keith Urban and waffles. I didn't put that together.
Did it calm you down any, though?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Keith Urban did. And then Murphy's way of being, hey,
it's a whole new day.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It did work. So it worked, Murphy.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
We asked, and boy, did you respond. Do you wash waffles?
new clothes before wearing them. You buy something at a store,
do you wash it first?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
The comments that are rolling in about this. Oh, absolutely.
Don't know where they've been or who's touched them or
whatever production chemicals are on them.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I think that's the big thing. The question is on that.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But the answer for me is it depends.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's Kimberly. I like to wash them first, but I
have had a few situations where I had to change
right then into the clothes. So I guess it depends
on the situation. That's from Kim. Gingy said, only underwear.
She only washes underwear first. Shout out for that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, I can see that. You don't want color chemicals
pressing up against things.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
No, and just people have touched, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Anyway. Not if it's in a package, right?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Lisa said, I got a bad skin rash one time
by not washing before wearing. Never made that mistake again. Yeah.
That depends on you, too. If you have sensitive skin,
you don't know what the shipping situation was. You don't
know what the chemical situation is.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Do you wash yours before you.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Most of the time, yes. I will say this. A
really good pair of jeans, I try to wash... As
seldom as possible because, you know, it changes the makeup
of the jeans.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well, really any clothing like that, if it's not something
you're going to sweat in or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
The more that you wash it, the more you wear
it out.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah. Amelia says, yes, when they're in a warehouse, bugs
get on them. Even rats are dropping. And if chemicals
are used to prevent that, it definitely needs to be washed. Plus,
clothing and clothing stores can be tried on and people
are sweaty and you don't know who the last person
was to wear what you're bringing home. Wow. Good points.
All good points. Well made. This is Jason. I worked
(10:53):
retail for too long. Saw people even wipe things on clothes.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
What?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
He just means like if you have sticky hands and
kids with ice cream or whatever. Don't be grossed out
with the word wipe. And then his final thing is
people are gross. Angela says, no, she doesn't. I'm lazy.
You know, you have that choice. I feel like it
is situational, like Murphy said. But for the most part,
(11:21):
people who work in retail will recommend that you wash
things first before you wear them.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Well, I know people who travel, certain things, they'll bring
an extra shirt that's been just recently purchased, and they
leave it in the package until they get to the
hotel room or whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Also, Kathy, it depends. Dark wash jeans, yes. That makes sense.
And underwear. Underwear getting a lot of votes here. Are
there any stores, guys, or retail experiences for you that
are overwhelming? Ever had that feeling?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Really?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Certain grocery stores, if it's just too hectic or they
have the aisles too close together. I mean, like Walmart, Target,
they're wide open. You can cruise around there. Depending. But
some of the local stores.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, see, it's funny you say that, though. Local stores,
that doesn't bother me at all. I find that intimate.
I think that it's been some of the larger Walmarts
and those kind of things, those are the ones that
become a bit, they're cavernous, you know? Cavernous, correct.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah. I don't think there's any retail experience in the
world that's too much for me. I love it. But
I had an experience with a friend. I took her
to one of those big Christmas shopping experiences. Like, you
know what I mean? Yeah. It was like in October, November,
and there was all kinds of different vendors.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Oh, you're talking about the kind that's in a civic center.
That's huge.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
But it's about the size of a Costco.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah, I've been to those, too, and those do are
kind of much.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Okay, well, I walked in. I was so excited to
bring her, and I was ready to stop until I dropped.
And she was like, she touched my, I'll never forget,
touched my arm and said, Jodi, I can't stay here.
And I'm thinking, but look at all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, it's like a wonderland.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I bring it up because another retailer, and I think
this is beautiful and I wanted to shout it out,
Sephora is rolling out quiet hours shopping experiences worldwide. And
quiet hours, in case you don't know about them, they
happen at places like Target and different retailers offer it
for people who have that neurodiversity, those kind of issues,
(13:29):
neurological differences. Mm-hmm. Those with ADHD, those with autism.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Easily overstimulated.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Tourette's. Like, there are a lot of things that fall
under sort of that umbrella. And so people who get
overwhelmed easily, it's too much of a sensory experience. But
guess what? They need to roll into Target, too.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And so the quiet hours. But understand, anybody is welcome
during the quiet hours.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Look, I think I would love to go to Sephora
during quiet hours, but I find it soothing going to Sephora, really,
at any time.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You like the way it smells.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I do love the way it smells.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And Murphy loves all the attendance, all the, can I
help you with something? Murphy loves that personal attention, and
you get it there. And you'll just have to look
it up online, because it's worldwide, different quiet hours for
different zip codes. But it's happening at Sephora now, just
to improve the experience, and then To me, it seems
(14:22):
like it's something that's going to be happening all across retail.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
That would be smart, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Morning pick-me-up time. Let's get picked up.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Oh, this one's going to be fun today. I want
to introduce you to Samuel Henderson. He is a child
in Choctaw, Oklahoma. And you may have seen his videos
on social media. He's had a new round of them
going viral recently. And you may know him as Bird
Call Boy. He does bird calls. And he does bird
calls with his voice. He doesn't use any tricks or
(14:53):
anything like that. He can do 114 different bird calls.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
What?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yes. It's amazing. You're going to love this, Jody. We're
going to do 114? No, no, no, no. We only
got a handful of these. He started when he was
four years old at the local zoo. He was at
the zoo and he saw a bird on the garbage
can making a noise and he did it. And his
mom was like, wow, that was just like that.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
He just has a natural knack for this.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yes. He was even in a school talent show a
couple years ago. So here we go. Here's some of
his bird calls. I'll let him take it away.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
First, we get the barred owl.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's correct that is correct well and we we had
a neighbor that could do that same.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Thing yeah but he wasn't a kid yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
No i know but that's perfect all right how about
a couple crows.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Here and you know there's two different species of crows
in the united states the fish crow and the american
crow the fish crow is what i'm going to do
first then the american crow.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Whoa. That's incredible. Here we go. Here's a Purple Martin.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That's the Purple Martin. Oh, that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Now, Samuel lives with autism and Tourette's. He recently put
out a second video on TikTok. The NFL even picked
him up recently, and they did a post with his
bird calls for the teams that have bird mascots, like
the Falcons and the Ravens. He did the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
The Northern Cardinals. Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Can't leave out the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
This is a red-toed hawk.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
That one gets me.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I know.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I wonder if he just naturally is this way. Does
he say he has to practice?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Maybe he was a bird in a former life.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
And when he goes outside, he talks to everybody.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
That's him!
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I hope it still works when his voice changes.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Cheap, cheap, cheap.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Samuel Henderson, thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Jody's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
There is a new show I'm happy to report for
HBO Max. It's doing really well, and it did really
well in its first three days. Like nine and a
half million global views, which is a big deal for
streaming because there's a hundred million things to stream, okay?
This is DC Studios' Lanterns, and I'm even thinking about
giving it a shot because of one person, and that
(17:20):
is one of my favorites, actor Kyle Chandler. All right,
new lesson. Take the ring.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You fly. Just fly. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Fly, please.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
What is it about?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
See, he's a smart aleck like that. I watched the
first episode. The second one was last night, but it
was too late. I'll catch it later.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Is it based on Green Lantern?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Yeah. Kyle Chandler is the Green Lantern for Earth in
this area. And he's got a trainee with him.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
And so he's training, but he's snarky about it. So
he's training the new generation of Green Lantern. Green Lantern
is one of those superheroes that I never have understood completely,
but as I understand it, he has his own It's
not just like a shield.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's a ring. Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Ooh, a ring.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, the ring does everything for him.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Are you going to keep watching it?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Oh, yeah. I think the first episode kind of establishes everything,
but it looks good enough like this is going to
be good. And this is the HBO Sunday night thing,
so you know they're putting money into it.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Oh, yes.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Kyle Chandler just draws me into whatever role he's in.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Me too, Murphy. Streaming now.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Have you ever had to give a very close friend
a job performance review and be impartial doing it?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well, you know, telling the truth, HR usually doesn't want
you doing reviews for your.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Friends, right? Well, actually, Murphy's done me before. Oh, well,
that's true.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Murphy's done plenty of performance reviews. That's the interesting thing
about it. If people work together for a very long time...
Very often, they become close friends, even if one is
considered the supervisor. I know why you're bringing this up.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Well, in a small office, too, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I know why you're bringing this up. So it's performance
review time around here. Yeah. And Murphy can't review me because... This.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Little thing called marriage.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
We're married.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Right. But on paper, you know, I think you had
to make arrangements for you not to be the one
directly supervising me.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Well, I mean, it's not just on paper. Whatever, with
the company. Yeah, in most companies, it's like spouses. One
can't be the direct supervisor of another.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So Murphy's not my direct supervisor.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
But guess who is? Sam is.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Sam is.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So it's performance review time, and Sam has asked to
call the meeting with me.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Here's what's funny is we had to do the mid-year
performance self-evaluation, which we all did.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
So strange.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
And I thought, okay, that task is done. Gone till Christmas.
And then I get the email, hey, okay, Jody did it. hers,
so now you have to go over it with Jody
and evaluate Jody's self-evaluation. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
I didn't know that was part of the deal.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Do you even know how to do that?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
You're evaluating my evaluation?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, I have to look at the instructions to see
what I have to do.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, I'm sure Murphy could give you some pointers since
he did yours.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, I mean, it shouldn't be too much, right? she's
saying what she does well and what she doesn't do well.
All you have to do is agree or disagree. Those
are the instructions, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Did you note what I said I don't do well?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I haven't read it yet. Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Oh, did you say you don't do things well? I
thought you did everything well.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
See, he should do my performance.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
That's why he's not doing it. She's awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
She's beautiful. Hence the separation rule, yes.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, I was honest with areas where I can improve.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well, they want us to pick out at least one
that we can improve. I guess they got tired of
everybody getting hundreds.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I'm the best. I am great. And then you go
to Murphy. Yeah, you're the best.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You're great. But it's true that, you know, I mean,
the longer that you were the player, you still need
to evolve. Everybody needs to continue growing. Even if you're
great at what you do, there's always the next thing.
So I understand.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I was honest. I think I the place I said
I needed work was like really getting involved in all
the systems.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And the technology.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, but, you know, do you really want to do that? No. Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
So please review me.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I give you a pass on that one.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Nothing about trying to figure out how to work with
your husband.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
There's not enough of time. We were saying earlier in
National Parks so that you don't get, like, launched by
a bison, which happened this week. We all saw Mr. McDaniel.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
It looks cooler than it feels.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I'm sure. It doesn't look cool.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Well, you know what I mean. I'm glad he's not.
I mean, he broke his leg in three places.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I'm just saying. I'm with Murphy. It looked cool. That's
why it went viral. It did not.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's why it went viral because people are like, whoa.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It would have gone viral if you didn't see the launch.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
But I know.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Sam said there's already a T-shirt for the launch.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Well, every news website you go to, it's frozen, that
freeze frame of him in the shape of an X.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
You know what, too? There's even an AI video of it.
He's chasing the bison.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Okay, I don't want to see that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Is there really?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Nobody needs that. We were saying you have to stay away.
Is it 75 feet to 150 feet from all wild
animals in national parks? That's the recommendation. And then we
touched on the fact that in the Grand Canyon, the
number one animal incident, squirrel bites. Like the Grand Canyon,
(22:18):
the most dangerous things there are Mountain lions and rattlesnakes.
Rattlesnakes is what I was looking for when I was
in the Grand Canyon.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I would be careful of those.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I was freaking out.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Any reason to worry about scorpions?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I mean, sure.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah, and that donkey ride down the ledge.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
They wouldn't let me ride the donkey. I kind of
wanted to, kind of didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Because there were too many rattlesnakes.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Listen, squirrel bites are number one. The reason being, the
visitors associate, oh, cute little squirrel, just like the cute
little squirrel. But those are not cute little squirrels.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
They.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
They're aggressive. They're living in the wild and they associate
humans who go through the park with food because you
got trail mix and you got all the things they
can smell. And so those rodents associate you with food
and they are aggressive. They are not afraid of you.
They don't duck and run when you come. They see you.
They want your trail mix. People have had run-ins with
(23:12):
squirrels a lot. And it is a concern because they,
squirrel bites, they do have, some of them have rabies
and things like that. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I mean, I don't want to, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
So Murphy really doesn't want to go hiking in.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
The Grand Canyon now. I don't want to be launched
by a bison or bitten by a squirrel, honestly, Jody.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Just so you know.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
And also, it's kind of lame. Oh, yeah, I got
bit by a squirrel at the Grand Canyon. It's not lame. Oh, yeah,
I got launched by a bison.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Sam, you said something the other day. We have all
these videos online and on reels, on social media, and
you can follow Murphy, Sam and Jody and see them all.
And we were talking about, you were saying you're very
comfortable being single now. And you were saying that if
the unicorn comes along, and I just want you to know,
we have so many comments about you saying that word
(24:00):
unicorn with regards to someone.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I'm happy single and it's going to take a unicorn
to get me out of that.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I just want to read some of these to you.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Metaphorically speaking.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Julie says, I have not dated since my divorce. And
kind of like Sam, if the unicorn comes along, great.
If not, I'm good. Teresa, I love being single. And
like you, it would be nice to have a unicorn
to change my mind. Or we take a unicorn to
change my mind.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
It was a funny, you know, because everybody knows what
you mean.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Once you're comfortable in the single space, it takes some convincing.
For you to get back into the relationship.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
You mean the person who checks every box is what
you're saying.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, he checks the boxes. I don't even know where
box is.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You didn't know you needed that special unicorn horn until
you found it. Karen says, so a unicorn stands a chance?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Some others. Valerie. I like being single, but man, would
be fun to find a unicorn. This one keeps coming up. Cadet. Ah, yes,
the unicorn. I agree. So many unicorn comments. I do
want to just interject as someone who is married. I
know this is a single conversation. There can be someone
(25:14):
who checks most of your boxes, even all of your boxes,
and can be your unicorn, but it doesn't mean they're perfect.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Do I check all your boxes, Jodi?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I mean, yes. Yes.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Oh, that's hesitant.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
No, no, no. Murphy's a unicorn?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
No, Murphy is my unicorn.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Aw.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
But just what I'm saying is we're not perfect. Oh, no,
we're not. Don't not date because someone doesn't seem perfect.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Is all I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Some boxes are more important to check than the others, right?
I'm not dating because I know myself now. And you
only date unicorns, apparently, right?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
All I'm saying is want the unicorn, but don't expect
a perfect magical creature. Oh. Expect a human being.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Maybe a leprechaun.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Morning pick-me-up time. Raise your hand if you're an over-thinker.
I'm laughing because I knew Sam's hand was going to
go up.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
I wasn't sure if I should raise it or not.
I am.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I think I'm an overthinker also.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Of course you are, Murphy. Yes, we all are. That's
why we're birds of a feather.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
What's weird is I'm not an overthinker in all things, though. Like,
I made an impulse buy on eBay the other day.
You don't even know about it yet, Jodi. It's one
I really should have thought about and overthought before I
bought it.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
eBay and Amazon, he doesn't overthink.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Okay, so the word is a lot of us are.
Americans are overthinkers. We have a lot of choices in
front of us.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Boy, that's true.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And we have this perfectionist thing where we think we
have to make the perfect choice, which is not good.
So if you would like, and there's a psychiatrist who said, look,
do the rule of three. I know you'd like the
rule of three when it comes to decisions. Narrow your options.
to like two or three things, whether it's something you're
wearing or, you know, you're going on a trip and
(27:02):
you have a hundred choices, narrow it down to two
or three choices, three choices, and you can make that
decision more quickly. The second part of this is give
yourself a deadline. If it's a small decision, three minutes.
If it's a big decision, three months, three years, but
give yourself deadlines.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
You like that?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I do like that. I, you know, I hope that
doesn't put too much pressure on me.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
To make a snap decision.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
On eBay. And then the final one is limit outside
options and opinions. If it's whether you're to break up
with somebody, don't talk to everybody about it. If you
have a couple of trusted people or if it's to
keep a job or limit your, you know, the outside observations.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
You're saying too many choices mean you lock up.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Right. It's too much information, especially if you're already an overthinker.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That's a really good point.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
So the rule of threes, there are three things and
all of them contain three.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
That's nine things.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
That's a lot to sort through.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Narrow your options to three, like three shirts, three dresses, whatever,
whatever you're trying to choose. Give yourself a deadline. Yeah.
Three minutes, three days, three months, whatever it is, just
so you can remember it. And then the three, limit
outside options and opinions to three.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Okay, do you feel better?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I feel a lot better.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
What about you, Sam? You're just confused?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I have to read this again. Jody's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
If there is a show that you love, would it
upset you greatly to know that the idea was stolen
or do you not care?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I mean, I don't want anything to be stolen from anybody.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Would you care?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I would like to see them work it out, but
if I'm enjoying the show, I'm enjoying the show.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Some creative ideas are really just an iteration of something
from before.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I even know somebody that says steal from me and
you've stolen twice.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
And it's true.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Okay, so this is about Yellowstone and the mastermind being
Taylor Sheridan. We know his name. He's been accused, and
we've heard this before, of lifting ideas from another writer
a decade ago and then creating Yellowstone. Yellowstone. Her name
is Lauren. She has officially filed suit against him, claiming
that she pitched the idea, a Western drama called Sovereign Nation.
(29:20):
She has the written work to bring it to court.
She pitched it to his management company at that time,
Elevate Entertainment. In 2016, she pitched it. And what she
was told right after that meeting, that pitch meeting was,
thank you. Taylor, thanks you very much for your interest. Unfortunately,
he's unavailable for TV projects.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
He's known for TV projects now. You know, Yellowstone got
greenlit right after that and began. And so she is
bringing him to court and he has no comments yet.
But wouldn't you hate to go up against him in court?
We'll keep you up to date. I have a personal
little message, something I just want to say. So I
(30:02):
know we are all over social media, Murphy, Sam and Jodi.
And so it happens to me very often lately in
the last several years. But lately, this summer especially, I'll
be walking through a store and someone will go, hey, Jodi,
I know you. We listen. And it's been wonderful. Like
it happened two days ago.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Well, it's cool because it's like you get the in-person
connection of somebody.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Right.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
And it's always like a sudden, oh, I know you. Hi. Like,
I mean, in TJ Maxx, in the grocery store, in
any place, it happens. I want to say hi to Janine.
I loved meeting you the other day. I was trying
on sunglasses. She's like, Jodi. So we ended up talking.
And then we saw each other again at the clearance section.
And she helped me pick out a little, I bought
(30:46):
a new jean jacket, which you know I need, Murphy. Anyway,
and it happened the other day with Amelia in the
grocery store. But what happened, what is happening is it's
two points of contact. At first, like, hey, I know you. Oh, hi.
And I'm like, hey, what's your name? And we speak.
And then we go our separate ways and we shop.
And then at the end, like I saw Amelia again
at checkout and she came up to me and said,
(31:08):
I'm sorry if I startled you or did it that way.
And Janine did the same thing the other day in
TJ Maxx. Like after when we saw each other at clearance,
she was like, I'm sorry I did it that way.
Please don't apologize for saying hello. That's what I wanted
to say. If you see me, I don't care if
I'm at the gas station and if I look like
I'm having a horrible day. If you recognize, please come
(31:28):
say hello. I love it. And there's no need to
apologize for the way you said hello. You guys ever
have that happen?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
No, I'm not as famous as you. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Since I walk around with standoffish face, I guess I
don't get it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
No, I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I guess that Janine and Amelia recently.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Well, if you know somebody, but they don't know you.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Then I understand that that's, I think that's the polite
way that anybody would want to handle it. I know
that you don't want somebody to apologize necessarily, but I
think that that's just human nature.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
It's just happened several times lately that it's like this
point of contact and then they come back and say,
I'm sorry if I did it weird. I'm like, there's
no weird. In fact, if you see me, please come
say hello. What I told Janine in TJ Maxx was
that I want you to come say hello. That's the
point for you to know us so you do know me.
And I'll see you next weekend, Janine.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
In the clearance center.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Social Media Connect. We hear you. We read and see
every single thing. Comment, email, suggestion that rolls in. So
keep it all coming. You can also call anytime, 877-310-4MSJ.
We have an email from Cynthia. This is about the
collectible red lobster glasses that Murphy's mom used to collect.
(32:49):
You had the lighthouse and you had, I thought, I
remember you saying there was a naked lady glass.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, I don't know why I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I would think you would.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
We have the lighthouse one.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Cynthia said the naked lady was indeed a mermaid on
the red lobster glass. Google, guys. Use the Google and have.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
A great day. That's what she said.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Always Google.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
We still have the lighthouse. I use it as a
vase when we have a little bunch of flowers.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So the lighthouse doesn't have the mermaid on it. No.
It's a different glass.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
They're very different. They're very different. Okay. This also rolled
into murphysamandjody.com from Doug. In regards to men's shapewear, we
were sharing that over the summer again that, you know,
Sam sometimes wears shapewear. Murphy bought one, too.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Only fancy occasions. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
You have one.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I've only worn it once.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
The whole t-shirt is it like a.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
It's like it's sleeveless.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Okay I was recommended to wear shapewear as back support
as I have lower back issues this is from Doug
I have what amounts to corsets high-waisted briefs boxers and
adult onesies they do keep the pressure off of my
lower back as well as support the abdomen when shopping
go for the ones with whalebone without vertical supports they
(34:02):
quickly bunch up in the middle the onesies can't slide
down as they start at the shoulders and They have
an adjustable compression waist belt. You can take care of
personal needs in them. Okay.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
All right.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Well, that's good to know.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Without having to get a dress. Women have known that forever.
Women who have been wearing shapewear forever know that you
can go to the ladies' room without having to take
the whole thing off. There's a little door.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Doug called it something else that I decided not to
say here on the show.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
That's great, Doug.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
You know, the only high-waisted briefs I ever had were
involuntary in school, you know, on the playground.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Those are called wedgies. Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
It's so funny because I didn't know that shapewear for
men was a thing until we were talking about shapewear
and the mistakes that people make with it. Mainly the
biggest mistake is buying it too small. Buy your size.
It's meant to smooth at your size. And then that's
when Sam admitted that he... sometimes wears the shapewear. Does
yours have a little door?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
No, I only have the top shirt. Don't need a door.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Love hearing from you. Keep it coming.
