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

Speaker 2 (00:05):
How to make a staycation feel like a vacation it's,
you know, it depends on how you It's your mindset. Really,
if you're excited to, you know, stay put, then you
can have a good time. If you're like, man, I
can't go on vacation this year, I'm stuck at home.
It's your mindset.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
If you're not at work for a week, it's a vacation.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
Right, that's a good mindset.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Sam, as someone who used to do a lot of staycations,
I remember that your vacations were on your back patio.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yes they were.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
So you guys have any I mean, there are a
couple of like obvious things that you have to make
yourself do though on a staycation and make it feel
like a vacation.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
We'll get to it. You have any guesses I want
to know?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
I think number one is you've got to change your environment.
If you really wanted to stay at home, that's great,
But a staycation really should be something that even if
you're just doing things around town or things you normally
wouldn't do, if you're going to feel like you're in
a different you know, experience.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, that's one of the uh I guess plans is
to be a tourist in your own city or your
own town, or even just out do it, do day trips.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, there's bound to be something that you've always wanted
to do in town but never had time to or
correct people to do it with. Here's your chance to
do it.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Sometimes that's just going out to eat somewhere you haven't
tried before.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
We did a staycation one time where we went to
a different place to eat for three or four days
in a row.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
That was fun.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
It was like an eating vacation. It was and it
was in town. That was really fun.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
The other one is this is like a rule that
you should adopt is to turn the out of office
on do not work, turn all those notifications off, like
if you were out of the country, if you were
on a cruise ship and you couldn't get a signal.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
That's how you try.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
You should try to roll to make it an actual
mental vacation. Even though work could be down the street.
You could run into your boss at the.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Grocery store or at the dinner.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Have areas if you if are just at home, have
areas and times that are tech free, you know in
your mind talking about if your favorite thing to do
in the world is lay on the beach, you can't
lay on the beach. Can you sort of create that?
Can you spend time outdoors getting some sun? Can you
turn off tech and just create it? They also say

(02:19):
do some pampering of yourself, do a spa day, or
make your house even feel like add some luxury, you know,
because if you're traveling sometimes you get to experience hotel
luxury and things like that. Or if you never order
food like uber eats or whatever you call it, right
and right thing you've never done before, you have to
plan a staycation.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, totally doable. Coming up in six poin fifty, Jody
has three things to know today.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Coming up next, let's hear from you and you can
join us a lot of ways eight seven seven three
one zero four msj social media connect message is rolling
in from Instagram and Facebook. So let's get to some
Britney who reached out to a earlier this week about
doing a digital detox.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Remember she said she was the one that.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Said that she stopped doom scrolling and all that for
six weeks. I guess for her, right, right.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Which that's impressive.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Meaning a digital detox is you still use your device
to call and text people, and you know your boss
needs you.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
For what it was made for.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
But you write, but you.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Don't go online and shop or doom scroll or just
look at cats ai cats.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Well, and it's sort of like without purpose. That's really
what that scrolling is. If you're going to shop and
need to shop, then you shop. But if you're going
to get lost and just scrolling and looking and you're
doing it at a boredom, I think that's really what
she's talking about it and.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
That's what happens.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
She stopped doing it for a long time, and she
shared that with us, and we we were really wowed
because the digital detoks we had shared in the morning
picked me up was to do it for two weeks
and see how your focus changed and how your mental
health changed. And she did it for longer, and we
were like amazed at that. She said, here she is again.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Oh findback.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I heard you guys talking about my digital detox and
reading my comment.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
I did go back, meaning after the you know last.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, I was wondering if she had stopped that altogether.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
She said that I did go back. But not nearly
as much. The scrolling is definitely down to just a
few minutes a day, but stress is still down and
everything is still down.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Say that's beautiful that, but she's made a fundamental change there,
which is different. It's I think it's more about the awareness.
If you're going to do it and you want to,
there's nothing wrong with that. But if you're prone to
getting sucked into the things like, oh my god, it's
nine thirty, what happened?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
You know, and then you don't really know except that
AI cats or something like that. And I say that
because I've seen that lately. I'm like looking at them, going,
I know they're not real, but man, it's funny.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
You mean the cats that wake the people up by
playing drums and guitar.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
No, I've not seen them.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
No, it's the word.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
The word is Brittany. Again, thank you for this.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
If you you really do want to change this, expect
it to be hard at first, because it's the world
we live in with that little device calling your name
all the time. So when it's when you go to
pick it up, you have to stop yourself and put
something else in its place.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Well, you have to catch that even in the first place.
You have to do that whole Wait a second, I'm
about to look and scroll. Sometimes you bypass that all
together and you're just doing it.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Doing it.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, thank you again, Brittany. Coming up next your Hollywood.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
Outsider, Jody's Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
This is so cute. I'm excited to tell you about it.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
This. Box Sports has announced a collaboration between the World
Cup and Sesame Street. I'm not kidding. So some of
the characters are going to be integrated. That's the way
I'm looking for into the World Cup programming. So there'll
be segments with Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird. Those

(05:52):
are the biggest personalities who are going to a peer.
And then then we've got other things the count Down
with the count that'll cover statistics of the tournament perfect.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Like now I'm interested in the World Cup again.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Trash talk with Oscar the Grouch, you know, his highlights
and round up and his cynical look at stuff. And
then there's broadcaster boot Camp, which Grover will learn from
the Fox Sports personalities how to broadcast a game and
what they're doing. It's a beautiful, brilliant collabse.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Where are Kermit and Miss Piggy in this mix. That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Piggy is a muppet, She's not a Sesame Street technicality, but.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Your world's colliding on that.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, Murphy, the Kermit was Sesame Street was a reporter
and did everything, and that's.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
The whole thing. Maybe they're going to have him doing
commentary with this cup of tea, you know.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, I don't understand the cross.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
I'm pretty sure Kermit was actually Jim Henson's first character.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Well, either way, Fox Sports announced the World Cup collab
with Sesame Street and we are all here for it.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Coming up next, Sam is the food dude.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I'll let you know what chain is adding pickles to
their smoothies this summer.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
Sam's always up on the new eats.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
He's the food dude.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Smoothie King and Gorillas Pickles have a combined to come
up with Smoothie King smoothies with pickles in them.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
This is the main flavor. Well, I think it would
take over.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Pickles, bananas, organic kale, and coconut water.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Okay, so it will actually be kind of more savory,
like I can see that actually working.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Green Smoothie Andy I said they built it around hydration
and summer snacking. Culture.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeap, I can tell you our youngest daughter, Phoebe, who's
all about pickles. We'll go for that.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Look. She used to drink pickle juice when she was
a tiny kid, still does.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
McDonald's is put together an under three dollar menu. It's
part of the there are new mcvalue platform. Okay, so
for under three bucks, you get a sausage biscuit, a
sausage McMuffin, a burrito, McChicken, a mcdouble, four piece nuggets.
You know. Wow, some of the smaller things, they're good
under three bucks. Tabasco has a new sauce for us,

(08:08):
and apparently this looks like it's going to be the
hottest one they've ever had. Scorpion Sauce.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Oh it just sounds like the name of it. Yeah,
no kidding.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
It was a Scorpion pepper was actually the hottest ranked
pepper in the world until some of the others came
along to make them even the hotter. Okay, so just
for comparison, regular Tabasco to Scorpion Tabasco, this will be
twenty times hotter. Ooh, and they are including guava and
pineapple in the mix to balance out the heat a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Which you won't taste no, because you'll be crying and.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
If you got that hot tongue going on. The folks
that Bubbley have a new drink for you, Sparkling Water.
They have melted ice pops, so it's gonna taste like
a popsicle.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
It seems to be the drink of the summer right there.
And I do like Bubbly although the whole bomb pop thing,
which I think I tried in one of those energy
drinks two years ago. Yeah, I mean it's it tastes
like a kid's drink, but then you drink the whole canon,
you're like seen through.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
And then you face plant.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Later, Jody, we're gonna wrap up here with something just
for you and your charcuterie boards. Okay, Launcher Bulls is
coming out with a new product called Snackabules, bite sized
shareable snacking, and they have two kinds, Cheddar and Colby
Jack and you get the cheese, you get a little
fruit bites, you get crackers and all that. And to
launch it, they're coming out with charcuter rings. It's a

(09:24):
ring for your hand and you have a little board
on it so you can put your charcuterie stuff. On
there and snack while you're at work. I'm assuming it
has little things you stick the food on, okay, and
you can get these starting June the eighth for National
Best Friend's Day.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
All right, coming up next. Three things to Know Today.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
Three things to Know Today.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Number one.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Al Roker from The Today Show said that the CDC
asked him and other travelers from Europe to take a
voluntary test for hantavirus after he was flying home from
his daughter's Paris wedding. Although they didn't really say this
is hantavirus, but they did the request as a precaution
and he thought that's what it was for. Meanwhile, the
World Health Organization they do expect some more cases in

(10:11):
the United States because of the incubation period of this,
but they do say there is currently no sign of
a wider outbreak.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Good number two.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
It's the stuff of nightmares, and it's certainly in movies
when you get trapped in an elevator with people that
you don't know. It happened this week in Las Vegas
at the Rio Hotel. So this lady gets in, she's
the first one on, and then as they go down
to the lobby, seventeen more people get on and the
elevator gets stuck. They were stuck in there for about
an hour. The hotel claims they called the fire department.

(10:43):
The fire department says we'd never received a call, but
first responders were there.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Can you imagine how that hour might change your life.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Especially if you have to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
And Number three K Pop Demon Hunter's News. We'll let
Sam get you squared away on the world tour. But
they've also partnered with the Discs'very channel for a K
Pop Demon Hunter's Shark Heroes show.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
For Shark Week this year.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Who are the manager of the Demon Hunters try to
reshape the perception perception of sharks with a K pop
inspired awareness program.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
You're up to date. Three things to know today.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I know it's only been one day, but I got
an update on the super Valuable At least I hope
it's super valuable. Mark Hamil Luke Skywalker Star Wars trading cards.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Which is considered number one right like the series for top.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Number one in the series. One of these sold recently
for six hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars unreal primo
mint condition and I went up in the attic. Pulled
my box down, and I got four of these because it.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Looked familiar to you, right, you knew you had to
wait a second.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
I know this guy, he's Luke Skywalker. So I've got
four of these. One of my no is not in
great shape because the corners are bent because I played
with it as a kid.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Good for you.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
The other three, I want to know if they're worth
six hundred eighty seven thousand dollars each.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Sure that's the case.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
We'll never see Sam.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Although you know it's a little concerning dumb question here.
Why would you keep something that valuable in the attic?

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Because to me it wasn't valuable. Oh fuck in the attic,
I got stuff from high school. I got those. I
got some Marty gros De balloon collections. I got all
kinds of stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Oh the shout out for the box that he brought.
He brought the box here. And the box is not
a shoe box.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
It's a I don't even know what it is.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
Plastic like seal. It close it with a clink.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Yeah, and it's small because I never collected baseball cards.
I wasn't into that. Just a handful of these. So anyway,
I went onto the website that grades these things PSA.
I opened to the count free and I decided, you
know what, I just need to bite the bullet. Send
the three good ones. No, not just one. I'm going
to send the three good ones. They told me it

(12:53):
was ninety eight dollars to send all three. Yeah, for
the whole thing. Okay, if I and I get it,
I get back my results in seventy five days. I
don't know why it takes so long. Well, I could
look at it.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
And say, mmm, well you have any fingernails left by then?

Speaker 3 (13:09):
You know what, I'll probably forget about it before that
until I get the email back.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Well, you know, when you were talking about it yesterday,
I started just jumping on because I am not an
expert at all in that field. But you know, even
if it's not, there are different classifications that could be
worth anywhere between nine hundred, you know, in five thousand,
which is not chump chick, you know what I mean,
And so it's worth the investment even if they come
back and go, oh sorry, yeah, but you know, I
had no idea. It's fascinating to me that this is

(13:35):
a thing.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, I have to and they even give you instructions
on how to ship these things. I got to put
them in special plastic containers, bubble wrap, okay, clean box,
send it off to them. Sorry, I get this that
the little plastic cases that they put it in. Once
they're done, they'll put it in this thing with a
rating on it, a grind sonically sealed in a tamper
evident holder. Yeah, tamper evident holder.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
That's worth doing it.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Yeah, you know this is sonic. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
I don't even know what that means.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
So in the next week they're being shipped off and
we'll cross our fingers.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yay.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Coming up in seven fifty, Jodi has three things to
note today and next your morning pick me.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Up, morning pick me up time. Cannot wait to share
this with you. So there is a professor at a
freshman college and he teaches a composition class and he's
been doing it for years, and he's one of these
people that when he speaks to you, it's not just
about the source material work that he's giving.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
He gives all this life advice.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
So it's a composition class meaning writing, you know, writing
about yourself. And he he always set he always throws
out words of wisdom. So his students. He thought they
were always just taking notes. They were writing down all
these cool things he had to say, all these incredible
words of wisdom, and they put it together, after all
these years, into a book, a handwritten book for him

(14:55):
and for themselves. It's a one hundred and fifty two
page handwritten book. Excerpts of it have been shared on
social media. Do you want some of the best advice
some of the things that he said to them?

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Definitely?

Speaker 4 (15:07):
You know what makes writing slower. Talking. Here's another one,
a really good one.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
You can't have an opinion about a book you haven't read.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
And that is so true.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Actually, that's pretty much anything, right, it's true.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Fill in the blank, right, job, you haven't had things
like that. Let's try intelligence before we try artificial intelligence.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
A snarky, but some wisdom there.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, I like that too.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
The only thing more painful than becoming yourself is not
becoming yourself. It's beautiful something to think about. Somebody wrote
it down and he probably didn't even remember all of these.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, this could be spontaneous things he just says because
they come from the heart.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
In the classroom, he hasn't said that. No, Oh, I
got these from other sources.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
No, he hasn't said that he did create he and
he's been very humbled by this. He's like, look, I
teach my students to listen, and listening means listening to yourself,
listening to others, and he just speaks what comes to
his heart. Here's another one. The defense mechanism causes more
pain than what it defends you from.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
That's heavy. Yeah, can you even make sense of that?

Speaker 1 (16:23):
You have to stop and think about that one. But yeah,
it makes sense, meaning digging in and holding onto something
that really it hurts me more than anything that you're
mad at. Yeah, certainly doesn't hurt the person you're mad at.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Final and favorite one.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Every day of your life is a rough drafty.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
I love that so much.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
The book ever gets published, you better believe will remind you.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Jody has another Hollywood Outsider next.

Speaker 5 (16:47):
Jody's Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Have you ever watched or got hooked into the Lincoln
Lawyer series on Netflix?

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Every murgery case it's like a tree and it's a
prosecutor's job to feed and water that. I watched the movie,
The Original Movie with.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
Matt Matthew McConaughey.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Okay, so so much story here, and so many stories
because these are based.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
On books, not book but books.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
And then yes, and then there was the movie, and
then now there was there's a series on Netflix. But
Netflix just announced that the final, the fifth season, which
is coming up soon, will be the final season. It's
a ten episode season, so just so you know, if
you're looking for something new to binge in this world,
you've got five seasons there. It's been very successful. You know,

(17:34):
it's been in the like the global charts for a
very long time. So The Lincoln Lawyer coming to an end.
The upcoming season will be the final. Netflix confirmed something
else that's coming. We don't know where, but it was
just announced this week. There's a new thriller coming that
stars Kit Harrington, you know him as John Snow, but
it's not in that world at all. It's a thriller

(17:56):
also starring Lindsay Lohan and Shalne Woodley. It's called Count
My Lies. Look for this. It centers on the Woodley character.
Her name is Sloan. She's a compulsive liar. She becomes
a nanny for the seemingly perfect.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Couple and well, Kit Harrington know nothing.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Probably it'll be on hului. Just don't know when.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Coming up at seven fifty three things to know today, I.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Kind of want to change the name from date bark
to peanut butter chocolate date bark. For this recipe that
we shared this week, our oldest daughter tailor made for
me for Mother's Day some you know bark. Yeah, and
it was made with dates as the sweetener because she
knows I try to watch what I eat and she
she loves dates, and she told us how to make it.

(18:43):
We put the recipe in the method at Murphy Salmon
Jody dot com, So go get it.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
You can see a picture of the date bark.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
And you know, I'm an idiot because I really I
had to ask what dates were. I thought dates were
some dried version of something else. But they're just date dates. Yeah,
and that doesn't register with me. I don't know that
I've ever seen them in the grocery store.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Oh yeah, they're there.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
I guess I have to go to a grocery store
for day.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
But other than that, I haven't seen dates for years.
But that's a different Yeah, that's truly right.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Date bark is a different problem for you, Sam anyway.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, how do you make a date bark.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
We have some questions. Sam probably knows continue no no, no, no,
no no no. I want to get to your some
of your questions that were rolling. We're rolling in.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
What is this about dates being used as a dessert?
I want in love the show, Love you guys. That's
from Carly. So you know you you think of bark,
you think of melted chocolate and peanuts and pretzels or
anything you want to do. You pour it down, you
lay it flat, and you let it set correct and
then you break it up, you.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Know, set it down refrigerator.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Taylor knows, I watch what I eat, so she and
she loves dates and that's why she's like, this is
a natural sweetener. They're high in fiber, they're good for you.
And so she smashed it down on the box them
the dates. You have to take the pits out to.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh dates have pits? Yeah, I really need to learn again.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
I can tell you that.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
But anyway, you just have to pit them. It's easy
and take them out anyway. That and that's what you do.
But I just wanted to answer your questions. We put
the method of how to make this online at Murphy
Salmon Jody dot com three ingredients, very easy, no wrong
way to do it.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Jonathan sent this about the date bark your daughter made.
Where can I get the recipe? So that's where it is,
and he says, also love the Daily podcast. I'll listen
to you guys while putting dinner together at night.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Oh thank you. We appreciate that. So they grow on trees.
Apparently Sam, I didn't know that they're call d is
a date PAULM. Actually, yes, you're right.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Sam wants a date tree?

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Coming up next, Sam wants a date? Actually he does it.
Actually he doesn't. Coming up next. Three things to note today.

Speaker 5 (20:55):
Here's three things to know today.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Number one, we were talking about how to turn a
staycation in to a vacation to make it feel that way,
and it's you know, one of the takeaways was make
sure you plan the other thing, and a lot of
families are doing it.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
You sort of theme it like a.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Quiet cation, we just turn off all devices and you
have a quiet few days.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
Or a city cation where you just go and do stuff.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah, fools.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
A good idea.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Food cation where you just try a bunch of new food.
So theme it if you're also trying to make it
a staycation to remember. Number two, Amazon expanding thirty minute
deliveries to dozens of cities.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
They offer it. It's unreal.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Austin, Denver, Phoenix, They're adding Dallas, Atlanta, and so on
and so on. They use smaller dark store fulfillment centers
and Amazon Flex drivers to deliver things to you in
thirty minutes or less, which makes it crazy for the
competition like door Dash and Instacart and even Walmart and
Prime members for the thirty minute delivery service, pay three

(21:55):
ninety nine.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
That's the fee. Number three.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Next week at the box office, we get the Mandalorian
and Grogu. But Bath and Bodyworks has you covered already.
They have Mandalorian and Grogu since they have a whole line.
There's a Balanty Hunter Face and body wash. There's a
force Flow body spray. It's got Grogu on it. Yeah,
look for all this limited edition stuff. And of course

(22:18):
it's buy three, get one free. You know the deal
had Path and Bodyworks.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
You're up to date. Three things to know today.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
This is an email that could make your life better.
Certainly could make your day better, and I want to
share it. It came into Murphy Samonjody dot com from
SO We've heard from SO before. Hey y'all wanted to
chime in about journaling.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Okay, Hey Sham got his mom a journal for a Mother's.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Day and hopes that she will tell some stories of
her life, some history. I started journaling. This is from
SO when I was seventeen. I'm now thirty three. It
was a hard habit to begin, but now I actually
reach for my journal over my phone sometimes.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Something that helped me was setting a ten to twenty
minute timer at night and just brain dump. I jot
down the high highlights of my day what bothered me?
A quote someone said that I wanted to remember whatever
I write, just anything. With fifteen years of journaling, I
can see how far I've come over the years. Yes,

(23:22):
it is cringey to see what I wrote at seventeen,
at twenty one, at twenty five, or even what I
wrote last week. It's still a reminder of what of
all I've accomplished and overcome. Journaling is a hard task
to begin. But something I tell my clients is to
task parrot. I believe so as a counselor.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Okay, task parrot.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Find a time of day, when you consistently do something
like a coffee break or your nighttime routine, pair it
with that, jot down a few lines, and most of all,
don't overthink it.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I've heard that so many times, you know, because I'm
guilty of that. In a journal. I want to full
sentences and they want to have it fluid and makes sense,
and they say that, really, just jotting the randomness, the
brain dump that So's talking about is the easiest way
to because you get discouraged and frustrated if it feels
like it's taking you forever. At least it was.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
You're that advice, and I'm sorry that I don't have
to have it to go back and look at and say,
what was I thinking at twenty?

Speaker 4 (24:21):
What was I thinking when I met you? Guys?

Speaker 1 (24:23):
I would love to know what were you thinking when
you married me?

Speaker 2 (24:26):
No? I remember, But it's a beautiful reminder. But it's
also a reminder that it's never too late to start well.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
There are variations on that. They do say it's therapeutic
to actually do the pen to paper, pin to pad
if you do iPad things.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
But if you really wanted to keep records, I mean
you can dictate it into your phone. There's a lot
of different ways to do it. I don't know therapeutically,
if it's the same thing of like just that physical
touch to the paper getting it out of your system.
I don't know why that works, but it works well.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
They talking to a friend sometimes, Yeah, maybe if you
dictated it.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
And that's a great point. True.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
All right, thank you for sending this email. Join us
anytime coming up.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Sam's got music News.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Let you know where you can watch a free Lady
Gaga concert tonight.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
Samscott Music News.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Recently, Lady Gaga said that she had filmed one of
her entire concerts earlier this year in Los Angeles, but
she never said when we're going to see it, what
it is, any of that stuff. Well, this week, and
I'm sorry for the late notice, but this week she
dropped on us that it's going to air tonight. It's
going to air in a few places on Apple Music

(25:43):
and also on Apple TV. Now if you if you
want to watch it on Apple Music, you don't have
to have a subscription, which is pretty nice, and they
arrange that Apple TV you do need a subscription, and
also like a dozen cities they're going to show it
an AMC theaters, but like New York, Los Angeles, just
the big place. Yeah, and she says it's the fun
chapter of her Mayhem era, era era. She played the

(26:04):
Mayhem album in its entirety, but she changed up each
of the songs to play them differently. She's at the
piano the whole time. Ok So you'll hear abrikadabra, but
you're gonna hear it differently and all the songs.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Okay, she can do that, you know, Murphy, she's on.
I've never seen her live and she's on my bucket list.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Yeah. Performance, and if you can't catch it tonight, I'm
sure Apple TV it's gonna have it for a while.
The upcoming season of The Voice, we now know who
all four coaches are. You know, this recent season they
did something different. They only had three coaches. They called it.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Battle of the Champions.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Okay, but they're bringing back the normal format for the
next season. This fall season thirty Kelly Clarkson and Adam
Levine we already knew about. This week, they've added Riley Green.
It was his girl.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, that's gonna be fun.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Pretty too.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
And this is a big one.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Queen Latifa.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yes, we're the stranger to TV either.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
We don't have a star date on it, but it's
usually like the third week of September they start their
next season and guess who's coming out with a new album.
Didn't know anything about this one but Elton John. But
what's unusual is he said this album is happier than
his other albums have been because he has vision problems now.
He got some kind of infection a couple of years ago,

(27:25):
so he can't really see out of his right eye.
And he says he would write by reading the lyrics
and then doing the melody.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
He said he had to change that up now since
he can't really read the lyrics, so he does the
melody first, then come the lyrics, and he said that's
made the album happier than they usually are. Don't know why.
Interesting will be nice to hear. Don't have a name
for it, don't have a date for it yet.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
Coming up next your Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
The Latest Buzz Jody's Hollywood Outsider Jasons.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Are you know about the New Heights podcast, which is
Travis and Jason Kelsey getting together once a week and
talking all things football life, and all of that.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Oh it's only once a week, man, it sure seems
like more than.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
That, because it lives a lot of people grab it
when they want it. Well.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
This week, they were joined by comedian Colin Jost and
so Travis Kelsey, who's engaged to Taylor Swift, and Colin Jost,
who's married to Scarlett Johansson since twenty twenty. They bonded
over being the less famous partner in their relationship.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Nothing.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Colin went on to say, look, it's funny because my god,
he might be approached more just because his wife is
so famous that she's less approachable. Yeah, but people are like,
you're just on TV, but she's majorly famous. And Travis
is like, yes, I'm getting used to it, like being
number two, being second in line.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
It was funny. That was this week.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
I saw a little clip of it too. Colin Joe
said that he went surfing one time with Jimmy Buffett
and he was trapped by the rocks and he was
close to like losing his life. Jimmy Buffer it saved
his life, of course. It was an awesome story.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
What a story, all right?

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Moving on quickly the Minecraft movie. We're getting a sequel
in the Overworld. It was confirmed this week by Kristin Dunst,
who has joined the sequel. She's super excited about it.
We don't know when it's coming, but they have started
filming a little behind the scenes for you. Sam sent
off his Luke Skywalker cards to have them what.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Do you call them, graded?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Graded by praised exact if.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
They're worth any money.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
It's a collector Tops card, number one in the series, number.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
One in the Star Wars original series from nineteen seventy seven.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
So the card goes way back and for context. There
are thousands of these for sale on eBay, but not
all of them command the price that Sam found this
mint one that sold for six hundred grand.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
I know that's your hope and dream.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
However, I got three to cent, so if one of
them comes back and hits Jack, I'm so.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Glad for you.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
I don't need to be greedy.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
You try to like straighten it up and clean it
up before.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
I'm not messing with it. Good. I was reading the
grating criteria though. It's really tough because the average is
like a grade six. The average person who's got them
and has taken them out and kept them in boxes
is six, but it's still worth about eight or nine
hundred dollars if somebody will buy it for you for that.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Uneven and I can hang on to it until next
year for the fiftieth.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
An see that I could do something too smart.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Oh my gosh, So now he's going to be holding
for a six or higher.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
You know earlier when when when Sam was talking about
the Senate. Obviously he gets it back in this sonically
sealed piece of plastic, which I've never heard of.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
That that's why I wanted to bring it back up,
because the little behind the scenes here is that as
soon as you said it's sonically sealed, and you're like,
I don't even know what that means. The behind the
scenes is Murphy and Town both looked it up. So
you want to just school everybody on what it means.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yeah, it's a manufacturing process that uses high frequency ultrasonic vibrations.
This is so scientific sounding to fuse two pieces of
material plastic together without adhesives or external heat, and basically
it uses sound to shake them together and it melts
them together, and it keeps the card in place, and
it makes it tamper evident. If somebody tries to take

(31:15):
it apart. Basically, it sounds like once it's in there,
you can't take it out.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah, whoa unless you have a Paris deserts. But see
they're doing it that way, I guess so that there's
no glue that gets on your card or no heat
that could damage the card.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Yeah, so it's done that way to protect the card
to get you six rating or higher, which is the
hope
