Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody after the Show podcast.
You can find us on YouTube if you haven't seen
this there yet, and bookmark that follow us there too.
Something really special is coming up and I'm very proud.
We're very proud of Jody because she for the second
time since twenty twenty three, has won a national Gracie Award.
And the Gracie just so that you know, is it's
(00:24):
an award that was created fifty one years ago. This
is the fifty first annual Graces and Gracie. Allen, who
was married to George Burns, which you know if you've
not been George Burns lived to be one hundred. He
was a legendary comedian. Burns and Allan, in the very
early days of television had a show together and I
think she died young and so he was widowed for
(00:44):
a long time. But the reason that Allen is the
one who is honored for this is because she was
really a pioneer at that time in terms of a
TV program, production company and other things that were being
led by women.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
She started in vaudeville, radio, then TV. She was involved
in everything that she could be and she was one
of the first standout females to just go how about this,
how about this?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
How about this? And she excelled.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, and it's interesting if you ever go back historically
and you just want to see, Yeah, the comedy is
a little bit hokey and old, but her, the stick
that she played was really kind of aloof. It was
really the opposite of who she was, you know, in
real life. So anyway, the fifty first Annual Gracies basically
from A to Z for women in media, whether it's
(01:35):
movies or TV or radio, digital media.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And yeah, and there's all kinds of podcast awards.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
There are you know, investigative reporting awards and writing awards.
They're in three categories, National, Local, and student awards. And
so you have to know. And we're going next week.
The awards ceremony is next week in this beautiful ballroom
with all these incredibly incredibly talented women. I have to
(02:02):
tell you, I am so excited to be in the room.
Last time we went, we were late arriving because a flight.
We missed a flight.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
There was there was a car fire on the interstate
that shut shut the interstate down. Sam managed to get
past it before that happened. Joe and I and we
arrived within just enough time for Joey to go do makeup,
and it was like, yeah, we're still breathing.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I was late getting there.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Therefore I didn't get to talk to so many of
the women that I wanted to speak with, And so
I cannot wait to be in the room again with
women who do things like I do and who are
in other parts of media, who are being celebrated for
their work.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Let me say one more the.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Most interesting people in the business.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah it is. And I wanted to say one more
thing because when you said students, I think is a
really important thing to know. The Alliance for Women in
Media is a nonprofit organization, and so the funds that
they raise not only support you know, women in business
in general, but the scholarships you know, and you know
for so the reason that the students are featured and
acknowledged is because some of the fundraising done is to
(03:09):
support scholarships, you know, media scholarships for women.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Look, there's so much to say. Because we found out
in March that well Murphy did this nomination and sent
it in. We found and found out in March I
did not think I could win it. A second time,
and then again there are women who've won in different
categories and multiple times.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
But I was so thrilled, so thrilled.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It is actually the professional honor for me of a lifetime.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
So for it to happen twice is huge.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeah, there are still.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Don't even I almost could get emotional, but I won't.
And I still don't believe it. I told Murphy last
night because I'm climbing into bed going there's so much
coming up. We're going out of town next week and
we're going to next week, we'll be at the Gracies,
and I just what did I say. I don't think
I'll believe it again until it's in my hands, and
they don't. You don't get it until you get on
(04:01):
the stage and they hand it to you. It's a
beautiful word too.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And this is you know, there are people like Angela Yee,
who was with the Breakfast Club and now has her
own show. She's wonted Ellen Kay, who's been in Los
Angeles for a very long time. An entioe I guess
is in you know, New York, and so I just
I'm proud of you, Jody, just because of the fact
that you know Murphy Salmon Jody is very much a
(04:27):
homegrown show. And even though the name and the sign
and all those things that you see, you know, have
all three of us, Jody really has been the center
of this, you know, since the three of us have
been working together, since we started doing this in nineteen
ninety seven. And when I say homegrown, we're I mean
we're not sitting in Los Angeles or New York or
any other place and could yeah, and you know, and
(04:51):
have grown that. And so for you to be able
to achieve something with national recognition and Murphy Salmon, Jody's
on eighty seven radio stations in addition to the podcast
you know every day, and that's really, you know, largely
at your hand because of the.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Well, okay, we're an ensemble. I'm gonna address that.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'm just giving you the big you know, the compliment
you've brought. You have brought an angle that really has
not been as common in a lot of different radio
shows because so many are male led.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
They are, and but you guys were looking for a
female lead when I joined this and so and that's
and we settled on you.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I know, so sad you still want to go with
us to the awards sale.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I just want to say thank you for inviting me.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh oh right, as if this is a this is
an ensemble thing.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I'm just wear again.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I want to say this.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Another reason I'm honored is because this award is about
the work. It's not just oh, she's been doing it
for a long time. Let's just they're not doing it
like that. I know because after I won the first
Gracie three years ago, I was invited as a part
as a member of the organization to judge some to
(06:00):
judge the next year, to be a judge for the Gracies.
And it is a grueling process and it wasn't in
my own categories. If you're a radio media audio person,
you don't. You don't judge those categories. You judge like
I did, investigative reporting and all that.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And it's it's a legit.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Grueling process to listen to all this stuff and rate
it and write your things and vote and then it
has to happen several several times. Like so, to be
awarded for the work means a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
This work.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Actually, I know, it's fun what we do, and it
is it is very us and we're you know, we're
friends and we're family. We're doing this, but it is
work because we are lucky enough to have an audience
and to be a friend to them, to be a companion,
to maybe make you know, one part of their day
(06:50):
or life better is beautiful to me and I love it.
So when they to be awarded for that sort of work,
not just to oh, there, here's a show.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It's not like that. The gracies are not like that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, this is the to me, the interesting thing about
trying to share this, you know, in a in a podcast,
because if you've ever you know, read anything really about
the entertainment, you know business, it's behind the scenes. It's
the same reason you don't necessarily have to go into
the kitchen of a restaurant to appreciate the food on
the table. Sometimes you don't want to see. How sad, yes,
(07:23):
and so you know, I think in media it's the
same thing. This we do this correctly if it doesn't
seem like work, and so on the inside of the industry,
you know, in the industry itself acknowledges and honors, you
know those it gives people the opportunity to share that work.
It's really sort of a bonding like you know among
(07:44):
friends and some friends you didn't know that you have
because you're meeting them for the first time. And and
I think any businesses is any business is like that.
If you're in the medical you know, community or whatever
they're you know, there are accolades that are given and
there are meetings that are held that you couldn't possibly
describe that to patients and have them even understand that
because it's your it's your thing, right exactly. And I
(08:06):
think that's what we're trying to communicate here in the
in this podcast, is that you are It's yeah, it's
an acknowledgement from behind the scenes. I don't want achieve
in it by saying it's how the sausage is made.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, please don't please don't say that this is this
is important to me, but I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Excited to be in the room.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Worked done. Did you have a ninety second speech? Right?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah? Not all swinners are given a speech.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Are get like this is the National Radio Host Award,
because you know, because our show is in so many
places and not everybody gets asked to be on stage
to accept the award. But when you do, you're asked
to give a speech. And it's supposed to be around
ninety seconds long, and gosh, only radio people can do
ninety seconds. I say that, but it's it's harder than
(08:50):
it sounds. But yes, I had to send it in already.
They have I had to send it in already, so
I worked on it Monday. I tweaked it, I looked
at it again the other day, and this morning I
finished it and just hit send because they have to
have it ahead of time, I guess for a teleprompter,
which I'm not used to, which freaks me out and
scares me because I don't work that way.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
But it's okay.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I think they do that in case you're nervous and
you drift from the speech.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But they also are doing they also need the speech
ahead of time because they're going to have an als
interpreter there at the Gracies.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I'm so excited about that. That's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So yeah, I'm gonna have to speak quickly, but it's
around ninety seconds.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Sorry, I knew how many words you get the names correct?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Look, I want to say this. I'm so excited about
being in the room. Some of the recipients this year,
some of the women being honored this year. Tony Broxon,
I think won something Murphy. I know you're excited to
think she might be if she won the Gracie. She's invited.
Not all women who look a lot of these women,
these super accomplished women have heavy schedules. Oprah Winfrey won
(09:56):
for a pot for a pot, She's won a hundred gracies.
I'm sure she won for a podcast this year.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
She could be there. If she's there. You talk about
a nervous girl right here.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Well, I wonder if that's going to be managed the
same way so over the years, because of what we
do in the industry, it's not like we've met a
ton of celebrities over time. Every now and then you
get lucky and you do that. And I met Tony Brexton.
It's been about twenty years ago, and at that time
she was literally she was saying hello to everybody, but
she was completely circled by her entourage. No one was
(10:29):
going to be able to get up close to her.
And I think part of that is because she's shorter
and smaller than I realized, and so in a crowd situation,
she really I think needs that, you know, needs that protection.
That was interesting, but Oprah is at such a level
I can't imagine you know, how that would be handled.
But then again, she's also soup personable. It would be wonderful.
(10:51):
Fingers crossed. Maybe you'll maybe we'll get lucky, and you know,
And didn't see her there.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Last time we were there. We remember after it was
over and we were all like hanging around on a lobby.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Diane Warren, Yeah, she was there, she performed her Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
But it was like we were just standing there next
to her, and I just I was like, what would
you ask Diane Warren if you had a chance to,
And I just couldn't think.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Of any It's just a person yourself.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
You have a ticket to be there, you've been in,
you're in the room. Andy McDowell is being honored as
the Icon this year, so she's gonna speak. She will
be there. Monica Lewinsky won a Podcast Award this year.
She's been very much in the media, and comedian Leanne
Morgan won a Gracie. I don't know if she's there.
(11:34):
I don't have the RSVP list. I just rs VP.
You guys are ours. We know we're there. We're in
the room. So it's very exciting and I'm not kidding you.
I'm not I want to be there on time this
year because I want to speak to some of the
other recipients in the room. Last time I won and
we were there. After my speech, some of the women,
(11:55):
some of the other recipients came up to me and said, oh,
I love what you had to say, and we ended
up talking. But the night was over and things were
it was like, come take pictures, go have this, go
do that, And it just slipped the way. It went
away so quickly because I barely made it to the
red carpet, remember, because we were running late, and there's
a whole red carpet thing. You know, we can do
a whole podcast on that if y'all want to, because
I know that if you've never experienced that, that is
(12:17):
an unreal situation too, being on a red carpet. It
goes so fast, and it's the most stuff that you've
ever had to process at one point all the light.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yes, that is real.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
How crazy it seems so for people to be able
to do that and seem calm is a skill that
I don't possess, but I'm going to try. You know.
It was what I was on that carpet for two
minutes last time, and there were pictures taken, and I
could not believe the lights.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I could not believe.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
As soon as you step on the carpet, all the
press in front of you, they know what you won for,
what your name is.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
So as soon as you step they're like Jody, Jody, Jody, Jody, Jody, And.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I was like, I almost went from me and then
I thought my picture would look like that if I well,
I just tried to remain calm.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
They only allow too. You know, two people on the
red carpet, meaning two categories of people on the red carpet,
one the winners and two they're publicists. Well we don't
have publishers. Say yeah, Sam, and maybe you and I
could double as that because remember the last time we
were told, hi, gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
We need you to stand over the way.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
But yeah, I just it's a it's it's a it's
an experience, and.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
It's an honor.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
It's you know what I.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Find in those rooms when it's again, we don't get
to do this kind of stuff ever often.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
It's a deal.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I think we call it the Hollywood outsider. And see
what I mean, we're just not we are not in
that circle at all. And but when you are in
an event where everybody is there for a common reason,
even if they're superstars and celebrity, you got something common
you can talk about. Doesn't mean I'm not nervous about
(14:04):
doing that, but the environment itself lends itself to a
normal conversation. And I think in that environment too, those
celebrities do that all the time. That's what they're expecting.
So the more normal that you are in that setting,
the more normal they're going to be. Otherwise they're going to, you.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Know, welcome that.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Right, So you're saying, no fangirling, man, just be yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I mean, I really, you know, I've actually a long
time ago met Monica Lewinsky when she was on her
book tour, when that first book came out. She was
still very very very young, you know at that point. Now,
I mean, and so this is we're talking decades later.
But I mean, can't you wouldn't you think that Leanne
Morgan would be like probably totally approachable and real that
(14:53):
what you see on stage, and I'm hoping she gets to.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Speak, she gets a speak, Please don't make me follow her.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
She's genuinely one of the just genuinely one of the
funniest people around I think right now, and I know
that it's targeted, you know, to you know, a forty
plus audience, but it's still it's hysterio.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yes, So can I ask you about your dress?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, it's interesting, Sam, I would love to know about
that too, because JODI's not shown it too good A
nice surprise. I knew.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I like the surprise.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I will tell you this all of my girlfriends. It's
one of the first things that they ask about. And
so I was waiting for Sam. I knew Sam's going
to ask me in this podcast about the dress. So yes,
I have a dress that I'm in love with this time,
I am in love with it. Well, I understand there
are two dresses. I always bring a backup gown. I
(15:44):
learned that from a woman. Women are the ones who
have all the information.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Guys, I should do that too. I only bring an
extra pair of underwear.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I don't think you need to back up talks unless something,
I mean one talks.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Two underwears.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I for a big event and this is the biggest
for me. Photographs on a red carpet, and I really care.
I'm really honored to be in the room. I'm in
love with my dress. So my backup dress is gold
gold I call her Goldie, and she's beautiful and she
fits me like a glove. And it's comfortable and effortless
because it's sparkly, like you don't have to do anything
(16:18):
else like put some mirrings on and hit the carpet.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Does that fall into your color palette?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
It does. It's a very good color for my skin
tone and all that. Goldie.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Jody's been doing this for a number of weeks now
and prep, I actually know our Amazon driver by name.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Actually didn't come from Amazon, this one though. This one
didn't come online anyway, So that was Goldie. That's the
backup and I'll wear it one day if and I'll
be happy if that. But the main one that I
want that I'm in love with is red. It's just
a true in fact, the color is called super red Wow,
and it's just a happy, beautiful dress. I'm in love
(16:57):
with it. I wish I could wear it for more
than the three Maybe I won't take it off until
the next day.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Yeah, is Murphy, are you going to coordinate with like
a red handkerchief and the.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Actually we're not going to match by a design not
pro it's not prompt. I will not. I'm not going
to look the same as I did last time. I
don't want to be I know the pictures will be
the same, and I don't want to look the same,
so I'm going to be different.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I will tell you, for any woman listening, when you
have an occasion, a big occasion, have a backup dress
because it just will make you feel that you like
as much. But fight to wear the really good one.
You know, I'm traveling with it in a covered.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Bag, all of that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You know, I'm going to protect it with everything and
get my hair and makeup done there before the Red
carpet event, and then go put the dress on.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You'll have to help me get into the dress. Okay,
you'll get to seen finally.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
And then I shopped ahead of time for weeks once
we heard that that I had won this year, because
you know, I don't wear formal gowns every day. I
like formal gowns, but I learned the hart you have
to shop for your body. You can't shop based on
what you like and what Nicole Kidman wears on the
(18:06):
Red carpet or what you see. You know, Sydney Sweeney
in or whatever. Those are bad examples or good examples.
But you know, I have to shop for my body.
I have to wear a color that works for me
and a style that works for me. And so I
had to go back and realize my body type is blank,
and this will look better on me. And because you
(18:27):
can for formal events at the graces, you guys are
going to see all kinds. You're going to see dress
to the nines, floor length gowns it's a black tie event,
or you're going to see cocktails style Like I could
have worn a short dress, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
My dress is floor length.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I think it's good that you know what it is
that you want. As a guide, I can tell you
if it's not some I need somebody with a measuring
tape to tell me what to do, because I really
I guess once it's on, maybe I can say, ah,
it doesn't work. But I can't visualize the way that
you do when you know when you say you know
your body type. I can't look at a piece of
(19:04):
clothing and goes, look that's I can, in fact, unless
it's on a mannequ Yeah, yeah, exactly. But I tend
to give myself too much credit that I can actually
wear that.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Well.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Well, I made a mistake along the way. I ordered
a dress.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You know, I ordered a dress and I was in
love with everything about it and it's beautiful green, and
it showed up and it fits me like a glove.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
But I made a rookie mistake.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
What because on the model, the model was a very
her body type was different than mine, okay, and the
dip was very low. It's a very low va and
it looked fine on her and on me, boob's too
much boob showing in my opinion for me for my
comfort level.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I think, you know, cleavage is beautiful, and I just.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Didn't want I don't want to be rocking that much
of it at this event, and so I'm not doing
that this time.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Yeah. I had the same problem with my.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Tucks anyway, but that was I didn't realize that because
the models, you have to look at the dress and
then imagine it on your body type because it's not
going to fit you exactly like the model.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
It's just not so. Yeah, the green gown will not
be not for this event.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So even when the numbers are right, you still can
put it on and it doesn't work for you as.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Per event like that green one.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I might would wear it to some sort of party
ball or something like that, because it's a beautiful gown
and it does fit me, but I don't think it's
occasion appropriate.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And I did see that one. Yeah, maybe you showed
me the picture after the fact when you told me
that it wasn't gonna work. And it does look beautiful.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Thanks, but I'm keeping it.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Well, you never know, I mean, what would be the
you know, the next normal event that you want to attend.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
So you guys are ready.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I had to make Murphy remind Murphy to try on
his tucks last weekend.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, I have brought my tuxs to the cleaners. It's clean,
it's back home now. I don't think I'll be wearing
the shape.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I thought, that's the whole reason you got it.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
And the shirt that I have that I bought with
the tucks, you know a few years ago when we
went it still fits me. Fine, great, I haven't lost
or gained anything there.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Well, it's interesting the shirt that I bought is too
big for me now, like way too big weight I have.
But what's weird about it is the shirt was way
too big, but the pants are still snug. Howd of
that happened? I mean I thought I would if I
lost weight. I should have lost weight, but apparently only
lost it from the navel up.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
So you know, that's a strange that's a strange thing.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I don't understand it.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah. Look, I mean I've seen my side profile enough
that I know why. I actually do understand why. So yeah,
but but yeah, I'm excited for I can't wait to
see I can see how beautiful you look. I can't
wait for the moment. You know, it is so special
in something that we don't truly experience every day. And
I know that there's a whole different world that does
(21:56):
experience that all the time. But I'm really glad that
you're getting too, and that we're getting to through you
getting to experience that kind of an accolade.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I'll get the names right in the speech. I promise
missed any part of the show. Get it all on
the Murphy Salmon Jody Podcast.
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody after the Show podcast.
You can find us on YouTube if you haven't seen
this there yet, and bookmark that follow us there too.
Something really special is coming up and I'm very proud.
We're very proud of Jody because she for the second
time since twenty twenty three, has won a national Gracie Award.
And the Gracie just so that you know, is it's
(00:24):
an award that was created fifty one years ago. This
is the fifty first annual Graces and Gracie. Allen, who
was married to George Burns, which you know if you've
not been George Burns lived to be one hundred. He
was a legendary comedian. Burns and Allan, in the very
early days of television had a show together and I
think she died young and so he was widowed for
(00:44):
a long time. But the reason that Allen is the
one who is honored for this is because she was
really a pioneer at that time in terms of a
TV program, production company and other things that were being
led by women.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
She started in vaudeville, radio, then TV. She was involved
in everything that she could be and she was one
of the first standout females to just go how about this,
how about this?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
How about this? And she excelled.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, and it's interesting if you ever go back historically
and you just want to see, Yeah, the comedy is
a little bit hokey and old, but her, the stick
that she played was really kind of aloof. It was
really the opposite of who she was, you know, in
real life. So anyway, the fifty first Annual Gracies basically
from A to Z for women in media, whether it's
(01:35):
movies or TV or radio, digital media.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And yeah, and there's all kinds of podcast awards.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
There are you know, investigative reporting awards and writing awards.
They're in three categories, National, Local, and student awards. And
so you have to know. And we're going next week.
The awards ceremony is next week in this beautiful ballroom
with all these incredibly incredibly talented women. I have to
(02:02):
tell you, I am so excited to be in the room.
Last time we went, we were late arriving because a flight.
We missed a flight.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
There was there was a car fire on the interstate
that shut shut the interstate down. Sam managed to get
past it before that happened. Joe and I and we
arrived within just enough time for Joey to go do makeup,
and it was like, yeah, we're still breathing.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I was late getting there.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Therefore I didn't get to talk to so many of
the women that I wanted to speak with, And so
I cannot wait to be in the room again with
women who do things like I do and who are
in other parts of media, who are being celebrated for
their work.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Let me say one more the.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Most interesting people in the business.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah it is. And I wanted to say one more
thing because when you said students, I think is a
really important thing to know. The Alliance for Women in
Media is a nonprofit organization, and so the funds that
they raise not only support you know, women in business
in general, but the scholarships you know, and you know
for so the reason that the students are featured and
acknowledged is because some of the fundraising done is to
(03:09):
support scholarships, you know, media scholarships for women.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Look, there's so much to say. Because we found out
in March that well Murphy did this nomination and sent
it in. We found and found out in March I
did not think I could win it. A second time,
and then again there are women who've won in different
categories and multiple times.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
But I was so thrilled, so thrilled.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It is actually the professional honor for me of a lifetime.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
So for it to happen twice is huge.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeah, there are still.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Don't even I almost could get emotional, but I won't.
And I still don't believe it. I told Murphy last
night because I'm climbing into bed going there's so much
coming up. We're going out of town next week and
we're going to next week, we'll be at the Gracies,
and I just what did I say. I don't think
I'll believe it again until it's in my hands, and
they don't. You don't get it until you get on
(04:01):
the stage and they hand it to you. It's a
beautiful word too.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And this is you know, there are people like Angela Yee,
who was with the Breakfast Club and now has her
own show. She's wonted Ellen Kay, who's been in Los
Angeles for a very long time. An entioe I guess
is in you know, New York, and so I just
I'm proud of you, Jody, just because of the fact
that you know Murphy Salmon Jody is very much a
(04:27):
homegrown show. And even though the name and the sign
and all those things that you see, you know, have
all three of us, Jody really has been the center
of this, you know, since the three of us have
been working together, since we started doing this in nineteen
ninety seven. And when I say homegrown, we're I mean
we're not sitting in Los Angeles or New York or
any other place and could yeah, and you know, and
(04:51):
have grown that. And so for you to be able
to achieve something with national recognition and Murphy Salmon, Jody's
on eighty seven radio stations in addition to the podcast
you know every day, and that's really, you know, largely
at your hand because of the.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Well, okay, we're an ensemble. I'm gonna address that.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'm just giving you the big you know, the compliment
you've brought. You have brought an angle that really has
not been as common in a lot of different radio
shows because so many are male led.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
They are, and but you guys were looking for a
female lead when I joined this and so and that's
and we settled on you.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I know, so sad you still want to go with
us to the awards sale.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I just want to say thank you for inviting me.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh oh right, as if this is a this is
an ensemble thing.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I'm just wear again.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I want to say this.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Another reason I'm honored is because this award is about
the work. It's not just oh, she's been doing it
for a long time. Let's just they're not doing it
like that. I know because after I won the first
Gracie three years ago, I was invited as a part
as a member of the organization to judge some to
(06:00):
judge the next year, to be a judge for the Gracies.
And it is a grueling process and it wasn't in
my own categories. If you're a radio media audio person,
you don't. You don't judge those categories. You judge like
I did, investigative reporting and all that.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And it's it's a legit.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Grueling process to listen to all this stuff and rate
it and write your things and vote and then it
has to happen several several times. Like so, to be
awarded for the work means a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
This work.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Actually, I know, it's fun what we do, and it
is it is very us and we're you know, we're
friends and we're family. We're doing this, but it is
work because we are lucky enough to have an audience
and to be a friend to them, to be a companion,
to maybe make you know, one part of their day
(06:50):
or life better is beautiful to me and I love it.
So when they to be awarded for that sort of work,
not just to oh, there, here's a show.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It's not like that. The gracies are not like that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, this is the to me, the interesting thing about
trying to share this, you know, in a in a podcast,
because if you've ever you know, read anything really about
the entertainment, you know business, it's behind the scenes. It's
the same reason you don't necessarily have to go into
the kitchen of a restaurant to appreciate the food on
the table. Sometimes you don't want to see. How sad, yes,
(07:23):
and so you know, I think in media it's the
same thing. This we do this correctly if it doesn't
seem like work, and so on the inside of the industry,
you know, in the industry itself acknowledges and honors, you
know those it gives people the opportunity to share that work.
It's really sort of a bonding like you know among
(07:44):
friends and some friends you didn't know that you have
because you're meeting them for the first time. And and
I think any businesses is any business is like that.
If you're in the medical you know, community or whatever
they're you know, there are accolades that are given and
there are meetings that are held that you couldn't possibly
describe that to patients and have them even understand that
because it's your it's your thing, right exactly. And I
(08:06):
think that's what we're trying to communicate here in the
in this podcast, is that you are It's yeah, it's
an acknowledgement from behind the scenes. I don't want achieve
in it by saying it's how the sausage is made.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, please don't please don't say that this is this
is important to me, but I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Excited to be in the room.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Worked done. Did you have a ninety second speech? Right?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah? Not all swinners are given a speech.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Are get like this is the National Radio Host Award,
because you know, because our show is in so many
places and not everybody gets asked to be on stage
to accept the award. But when you do, you're asked
to give a speech. And it's supposed to be around
ninety seconds long, and gosh, only radio people can do
ninety seconds. I say that, but it's it's harder than
(08:50):
it sounds. But yes, I had to send it in already.
They have I had to send it in already, so
I worked on it Monday. I tweaked it, I looked
at it again the other day, and this morning I
finished it and just hit send because they have to
have it ahead of time, I guess for a teleprompter,
which I'm not used to, which freaks me out and
scares me because I don't work that way.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
But it's okay.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I think they do that in case you're nervous and
you drift from the speech.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But they also are doing they also need the speech
ahead of time because they're going to have an als
interpreter there at the Gracies.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I'm so excited about that. That's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So yeah, I'm gonna have to speak quickly, but it's
around ninety seconds.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Sorry, I knew how many words you get the names correct?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Look, I want to say this. I'm so excited about
being in the room. Some of the recipients this year,
some of the women being honored this year. Tony Broxon,
I think won something Murphy. I know you're excited to
think she might be if she won the Gracie. She's invited.
Not all women who look a lot of these women,
these super accomplished women have heavy schedules. Oprah Winfrey won
(09:56):
for a pot for a pot, She's won a hundred gracies.
I'm sure she won for a podcast this year.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
She could be there. If she's there. You talk about
a nervous girl right here.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Well, I wonder if that's going to be managed the
same way so over the years, because of what we
do in the industry, it's not like we've met a
ton of celebrities over time. Every now and then you
get lucky and you do that. And I met Tony Brexton.
It's been about twenty years ago, and at that time
she was literally she was saying hello to everybody, but
she was completely circled by her entourage. No one was
(10:29):
going to be able to get up close to her.
And I think part of that is because she's shorter
and smaller than I realized, and so in a crowd situation,
she really I think needs that, you know, needs that protection.
That was interesting, but Oprah is at such a level
I can't imagine you know, how that would be handled.
But then again, she's also soup personable. It would be wonderful.
(10:51):
Fingers crossed. Maybe you'll maybe we'll get lucky, and you know,
And didn't see her there.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Last time we were there. We remember after it was
over and we were all like hanging around on a lobby.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Diane Warren, Yeah, she was there, she performed her Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
But it was like we were just standing there next
to her, and I just I was like, what would
you ask Diane Warren if you had a chance to,
And I just couldn't think.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Of any It's just a person yourself.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
You have a ticket to be there, you've been in,
you're in the room. Andy McDowell is being honored as
the Icon this year, so she's gonna speak. She will
be there. Monica Lewinsky won a Podcast Award this year.
She's been very much in the media, and comedian Leanne
Morgan won a Gracie. I don't know if she's there.
(11:34):
I don't have the RSVP list. I just rs VP.
You guys are ours. We know we're there. We're in
the room. So it's very exciting and I'm not kidding you.
I'm not I want to be there on time this
year because I want to speak to some of the
other recipients in the room. Last time I won and
we were there. After my speech, some of the women,
(11:55):
some of the other recipients came up to me and said, oh,
I love what you had to say, and we ended
up talking. But the night was over and things were
it was like, come take pictures, go have this, go
do that, And it just slipped the way. It went
away so quickly because I barely made it to the
red carpet, remember, because we were running late, and there's
a whole red carpet thing. You know, we can do
a whole podcast on that if y'all want to, because
I know that if you've never experienced that, that is
(12:17):
an unreal situation too, being on a red carpet. It
goes so fast, and it's the most stuff that you've
ever had to process at one point all the light.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yes, that is real.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
How crazy it seems so for people to be able
to do that and seem calm is a skill that
I don't possess, but I'm going to try. You know.
It was what I was on that carpet for two
minutes last time, and there were pictures taken, and I
could not believe the lights.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I could not believe.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
As soon as you step on the carpet, all the
press in front of you, they know what you won for,
what your name is.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
So as soon as you step they're like Jody, Jody, Jody, Jody, Jody, And.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I was like, I almost went from me and then
I thought my picture would look like that if I well,
I just tried to remain calm.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
They only allow too. You know, two people on the
red carpet, meaning two categories of people on the red carpet,
one the winners and two they're publicists. Well we don't
have publishers. Say yeah, Sam, and maybe you and I
could double as that because remember the last time we
were told, hi, gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
We need you to stand over the way.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
But yeah, I just it's a it's it's a it's
an experience, and.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
It's an honor.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
It's you know what I.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Find in those rooms when it's again, we don't get
to do this kind of stuff ever often.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
It's a deal.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I think we call it the Hollywood outsider. And see
what I mean, we're just not we are not in
that circle at all. And but when you are in
an event where everybody is there for a common reason,
even if they're superstars and celebrity, you got something common
you can talk about. Doesn't mean I'm not nervous about
(14:04):
doing that, but the environment itself lends itself to a
normal conversation. And I think in that environment too, those
celebrities do that all the time. That's what they're expecting.
So the more normal that you are in that setting,
the more normal they're going to be. Otherwise they're going to, you.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Know, welcome that.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Right, So you're saying, no fangirling, man, just be yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I mean, I really, you know, I've actually a long
time ago met Monica Lewinsky when she was on her
book tour, when that first book came out. She was
still very very very young, you know at that point. Now,
I mean, and so this is we're talking decades later.
But I mean, can't you wouldn't you think that Leanne
Morgan would be like probably totally approachable and real that
(14:53):
what you see on stage, and I'm hoping she gets to.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Speak, she gets a speak, Please don't make me follow her.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
She's genuinely one of the just genuinely one of the
funniest people around I think right now, and I know
that it's targeted, you know, to you know, a forty
plus audience, but it's still it's hysterio.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yes, So can I ask you about your dress?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, it's interesting, Sam, I would love to know about
that too, because JODI's not shown it too good A
nice surprise. I knew.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I like the surprise.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I will tell you this all of my girlfriends. It's
one of the first things that they ask about. And
so I was waiting for Sam. I knew Sam's going
to ask me in this podcast about the dress. So yes,
I have a dress that I'm in love with this time,
I am in love with it. Well, I understand there
are two dresses. I always bring a backup gown. I
(15:44):
learned that from a woman. Women are the ones who
have all the information.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Guys, I should do that too. I only bring an
extra pair of underwear.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I don't think you need to back up talks unless something,
I mean one talks.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Two underwears.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I for a big event and this is the biggest
for me. Photographs on a red carpet, and I really care.
I'm really honored to be in the room. I'm in
love with my dress. So my backup dress is gold
gold I call her Goldie, and she's beautiful and she
fits me like a glove. And it's comfortable and effortless
because it's sparkly, like you don't have to do anything
(16:18):
else like put some mirrings on and hit the carpet.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Does that fall into your color palette?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
It does. It's a very good color for my skin
tone and all that. Goldie.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Jody's been doing this for a number of weeks now
and prep, I actually know our Amazon driver by name.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Actually didn't come from Amazon, this one though. This one
didn't come online anyway, So that was Goldie. That's the
backup and I'll wear it one day if and I'll
be happy if that. But the main one that I
want that I'm in love with is red. It's just
a true in fact, the color is called super red Wow,
and it's just a happy, beautiful dress. I'm in love
(16:57):
with it. I wish I could wear it for more
than the three Maybe I won't take it off until
the next day.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Yeah, is Murphy, are you going to coordinate with like
a red handkerchief and the.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Actually we're not going to match by a design not
pro it's not prompt. I will not. I'm not going
to look the same as I did last time. I
don't want to be I know the pictures will be
the same, and I don't want to look the same,
so I'm going to be different.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I will tell you, for any woman listening, when you
have an occasion, a big occasion, have a backup dress
because it just will make you feel that you like
as much. But fight to wear the really good one.
You know, I'm traveling with it in a covered.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Bag, all of that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You know, I'm going to protect it with everything and
get my hair and makeup done there before the Red
carpet event, and then go put the dress on.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You'll have to help me get into the dress. Okay,
you'll get to seen finally.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
And then I shopped ahead of time for weeks once
we heard that that I had won this year, because
you know, I don't wear formal gowns every day. I
like formal gowns, but I learned the hart you have
to shop for your body. You can't shop based on
what you like and what Nicole Kidman wears on the
(18:06):
Red carpet or what you see. You know, Sydney Sweeney
in or whatever. Those are bad examples or good examples.
But you know, I have to shop for my body.
I have to wear a color that works for me
and a style that works for me. And so I
had to go back and realize my body type is blank,
and this will look better on me. And because you
(18:27):
can for formal events at the graces, you guys are
going to see all kinds. You're going to see dress
to the nines, floor length gowns it's a black tie event,
or you're going to see cocktails style Like I could
have worn a short dress, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
My dress is floor length.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I think it's good that you know what it is
that you want. As a guide, I can tell you
if it's not some I need somebody with a measuring
tape to tell me what to do, because I really
I guess once it's on, maybe I can say, ah,
it doesn't work. But I can't visualize the way that
you do when you know when you say you know
your body type. I can't look at a piece of
(19:04):
clothing and goes, look that's I can, in fact, unless
it's on a mannequ Yeah, yeah, exactly. But I tend
to give myself too much credit that I can actually
wear that.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Well.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Well, I made a mistake along the way. I ordered
a dress.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You know, I ordered a dress and I was in
love with everything about it and it's beautiful green, and
it showed up and it fits me like a glove.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
But I made a rookie mistake.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
What because on the model, the model was a very
her body type was different than mine, okay, and the
dip was very low. It's a very low va and
it looked fine on her and on me, boob's too
much boob showing in my opinion for me for my
comfort level.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I think, you know, cleavage is beautiful, and I just.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Didn't want I don't want to be rocking that much
of it at this event, and so I'm not doing
that this time.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Yeah. I had the same problem with my.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Tucks anyway, but that was I didn't realize that because
the models, you have to look at the dress and
then imagine it on your body type because it's not
going to fit you exactly like the model.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
It's just not so. Yeah, the green gown will not
be not for this event.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So even when the numbers are right, you still can
put it on and it doesn't work for you as.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Per event like that green one.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I might would wear it to some sort of party
ball or something like that, because it's a beautiful gown
and it does fit me, but I don't think it's
occasion appropriate.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And I did see that one. Yeah, maybe you showed
me the picture after the fact when you told me
that it wasn't gonna work. And it does look beautiful.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Thanks, but I'm keeping it.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Well, you never know, I mean, what would be the
you know, the next normal event that you want to attend.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
So you guys are ready.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I had to make Murphy remind Murphy to try on
his tucks last weekend.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, I have brought my tuxs to the cleaners. It's clean,
it's back home now. I don't think I'll be wearing
the shape.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I thought, that's the whole reason you got it.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
And the shirt that I have that I bought with
the tucks, you know a few years ago when we
went it still fits me. Fine, great, I haven't lost
or gained anything there.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Well, it's interesting the shirt that I bought is too
big for me now, like way too big weight I have.
But what's weird about it is the shirt was way
too big, but the pants are still snug. Howd of
that happened? I mean I thought I would if I
lost weight. I should have lost weight, but apparently only
lost it from the navel up.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
So you know, that's a strange that's a strange thing.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I don't understand it.
Speaker 1 (21:35):

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
