Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody Daily Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
If you're trying to sell a home, they say, the
colors that you paint the walls have a lot to
do with which you know that the color of a
room helps set the mood that you adopt when you
walk into the room, whether you realize it or not.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
And the trick is everybody's perception is different, so that
means something different to different people, right.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Correct, So that's why they say, I think in real
estate we'll say stay neutral.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I've always been told that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
If you're one of those where you loved Mauv for
some reason, and then then you try to sell a
house or the MAUV room, you're probably going to run.
Somebody might love that, but it's not universal. Yeah, you
got to appeal to as many people as possible.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Well, the hot colors in the world of painting rooms
right now, it varies. Warm, earthy reds are in I
kind of like look dark colors. Murphy's not about dark
colors at all, like some you know, bright light colors,
which is good because I do too. One thing we
don't stick on. But the warm colors can make you
(01:09):
feel more cozy and cradled by a room something as
long as it's decorated.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
There was a certain yellow that you and I liked,
a softer yellow that we had in the first house
that we were in with the girls. Yeah, it was
really happy and warm, and I.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Love yellow, especially for a kitchen. It's bright and sunny.
Yellows are in as well.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
But when we went to sell that house, you know,
we were told that you need to go kind of
neutral cream color. Remember that I do. The house got
repainted cream and what's crazy is that it didn't sell.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, nothing to do with that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Soothing blues are in, warm whites are in and dark olives,
oh dark, yeah, dark.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Kind of picture with that. Oh yeah, yeah, not avocado
green the way it was in the seventies. It's a
it's a deeper, yeah, classy looking green.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, said the color man. It's a glassy looking green. Anyway.
I remember when I it's psychological.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You don't realize that the color of a room does
make you feel a certain way. But I remember learning
about it in psychology that fast food restaurants are always
bright colors.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's because they want you to feel the fastness and
they want you to have a certain feeling that your
experience there. Yeah, it's like yellows and reds. There's no
I mean, I guess McDonald's of today do look sort
of gray on the outside.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
They look a little less flashy, but.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
A lot of sign is still red and yellow.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Right right, So color has a lot to do with it.
Careful choosing if you're trying to sell a house.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Coming up in six fifty, Jody has three things to
know today.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Up next, I need your help. I told a salesperson
a joke this weekend, and I need you to tell
me if it was offensive or actually funny. I need
you to tell me if something I said to a
guy at office Depot the other day could be considered rude,
or if it was a really good joke.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Well, what was your intention, Sam.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
A really good joke?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Well, I'm assuming you're asking, is that, Yeah, if you
didn't get the response you were looking for exactly.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I went to office Depot I had to send something
fat X and the guy printed up the label that
I had and he goes, yeah, I got to cut
this and put it on the box. Yeah, he goes,
there should be some scissors back here somewhere, And so
my line was, I would hope so since this is
an office supply store, good, there's one.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Leaf I would have liked that.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That doesn't mean though, because it also I know you.
I'm always ready for the joke with you. I'm always
receptive to it. I should hope so the way you started,
I should hope so could be offensive.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Yeah. Well, he found the scissors and turned around, and
you know, he was straight faced when about cutting it
and telling me how he had to get it down,
like either he didn't hear me or or it was
like sorry, you know we yeh office jokes all the time.
That didn't funny.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
He probably does get off of supply jokes all the time,
you know. Yeah, but you can apply that to so
many things. Hold on, I need to find the tape.
Same jokes from Sam, you know what I mean? Well,
we need to bubble wrap this, same joke from Sam.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Well, after after he did cut it out to put
it on there, he had to go find the packing tape. WHOA, yeah,
I cut my mouth shut on that first. I was
gonna say, like I said.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
You know, I don't want this to stop you though,
I assume that when if a joke doesn't land and
you're asking us about it, you're second guessing yourself.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Please don't stop.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Well, yeah, you know, think about how comedians are constantly
testing their stuff out. By the time we actually see
a concert performance, they have done all of them and
they've eliminated sixty percent of what they were going to do, right,
So yeah, you should totally continue to float and see
what happens. It either means he didn't have a it's
a humor at all, correct, you know, or you know
he didn't.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Hear you I was tired of hearing office depot Joe.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, I'm sorry that happened.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
It was good though.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
See I'm glad y'all both laugh.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You likes it too, Murphy, Yeah, I think it's funny,
but it also works for I need to find a pen.
And on.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
The latest buzz Jody's Hollywood Outsider, there is a Christmas
movie we're gonna get, not this year, but next from
filmmaker Olivia Wilde.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
She likes to make films too, not just be in them.
And she's already set up somebody who we've seen in
a Christmas movie before, and that's Peter Dinklige.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I know you remember that he was an elf.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
You're feeling strong. My friend call me elf one more time.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
He's an angry else.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So Peter Dinkledge starring in this opposite Jennifer Aniston. It's
called Naughty. That's the name of the Christmas movie.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Peter Dinkli is taking on the role of Santa.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Claus, Oh Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
And the story.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Follows the lady Mallory who it'll be Jennifer Anderson, trying
to convince Santa to help testify in her divorce case
to help her win custody of her son from her.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Ex's He's going to be a great Sanna, I know.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So look for that. I mean to have those two
on board already. And that's the storyline. Maybe it'll become
a instant class right.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I'm moving on to Lindsay Lohan. You know she's back.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
She has this new series called she's working on it
called Count My Lies. She's talking again about revisiting The
Parent Trap.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I want to talk to you about my mother.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
What about your mother?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
She made her acting debut in The Parent Trap. Such
a cute kid, and she said she would do a
revisit as long as she could see the script first.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Coming up in six fifty. Jody has three things to
note today.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
We always say jump in on any conversation that you hear,
and so Barbara Barb has done that to Murphysamonjody dot
Com on your recent New York City Vacation podcast, which
we did one because we went on a little trip
Murph with our girls.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Well, Sam was there too. At the front of the start.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Murphy and Jody mentioned eating pastrami, and this triggered my memories.
My husband's aunt lived in Connecticut, and we visited her
many times over the years. During a twenty fourteen trip,
we enjoyed seeing Wicket on Broadway, which was awesome. One day,
we were hungry and found Mendy's Kosher Deli in Grand
Central Station before taking the train back to Connecticut. It
(07:38):
was there that we found Mendy's Kosher Deli stand and
had the best pastrami we've ever had, which is significant
to mention thank you for the memories. Just talking about pastrami,
she felt compelled.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That's one of those we're saying it's the best because
there are so many great places in New York that
have it. It's almost like you have to try it everywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And you sort of did you had a few pistrami
sandwiches while.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
We were I did. There was only one that wasn't
the greatest, and it just it's only because it was
I think it was cut too thick and it had
a little bit too much of the fat in it.
It just wasn't, you know, the perfect sandwich. But every
other one I had was great.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's a funny thing because that's a that's either a
thing for you or it is not. I've never eaten
a pastrami sandwich. It just doesn't sound like my bag.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
You know, you never tried pastrami.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I think I may have had a bite of yours
once and I was just like, yeah, well you're not.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You're not a corn beef fan and you're not really
a pastrami fan.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Did you have any pistrami?
Speaker 5 (08:37):
When the three of us went and ate with our
friend John, Oh, that's right. He said that pstrami was
is okay?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Right?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I thought it was okay.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So he's a New Yorker and he had an opinion.
So everyone who lives anywhere there's lots of pistrami available,
they try it all, just like Barb and then they
had they end up having a favorite. So the making
a case for the best pistrami sandwich in New York,
there's a lot of different.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Ways making a case for the best pizza in New York.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yes, it is so anyway, barb is recommending Mendy's Kosher.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Deli stand at Grand Central Station.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Well, it'll be a few years before we get back
up there, but.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
You know, yeah, and if you get a does it
make you talking about it? Is to make you, guys
want a pastrami sandwich today?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yes, every time?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Right, Thank you Barbara for that.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Murphy Samon Jody dot com.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Number One, apparently your word count is down and you
don't even realize it. Over the years, we are speaking
fewer words every single day, like thirty percent less, and
that's all.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Over the place, all over the world.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Number one, the reason is that we're spending more time alone,
so why would you be talking to yourself as much?
And the other is that we're changing out these these
lots of interactions that we used to do with, like
perceptionists and cashiers and even at the bank, with apps
and texts and online forms of communicating. But they say
look out because you know, face to face talk still
(10:03):
builds emotional intelligence.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It's better for you. Number two.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
In the world of pro football, which a lot of
us are getting ready for, it's almost time. NFL teams,
a lot of them were annoyed by the tush push,
remember yeah, and it was a frequent play by the Eagles,
Philadelphia Eagles, and so they didn't make the playoffs last season,
so that subject has not come up. So the NFL
has decided not to make any specific instructions or issues
(10:28):
about it. So if they decide to use it again
this year, they can.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
And number three.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
With summer winding down here in the next what month, Americans,
we do eat a lot of ice cream in the summertime,
especially in the top three flavors. Number one again always
I guess is vanilla chocolate is a strong number two.
And for the number three spot, cookie dough in any
and all forms.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
You're up to date.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Conversation anytime you know, we mean it eight seven seven
three one zero four MSJ.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
We also know it is back to school time.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Going to get to some teacher comments, but first I
want to say to students, to all students, no matter
what your age, if you are starting elementary school, you
know this year, or you're going into high school.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Don't think of what you're about to embark on as hard.
It might not be hard for you. It's unfamiliar, you know.
That's that's the way to look at it. I've had
to learn that myself in my life. You know, anytime
something new technical comes our way, my first thought is
this is intimidating, this is going to be hard, and
(11:41):
I start self doubting. And the truth that I've learned
to say, no, Jody, it's just unfamiliar, and once it
becomes familiar to me, I'll be okay. And so that's
true for algebra, that's true for whatever your French, whatever
you're learning that you're a little nervous about. Or maybe
the students are unfamiliar and the teachers are unfamiliar, but
in a few days they won't be.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
So remember that back to school time.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I want to say now to the teachers from Messenger,
if you follow us on Instagram, YouTube, all the places
Deanna sent sent, thank you for shouting out teachers. It
means a lot considering how challenging our jobs are these days.
I have a seventy mile commute to my school each day. Wow,
always listen to you guys when driving.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Well, thank you. And let's say long commute.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
It's more than an hour, depending on how fast you're driving.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, all right, Monica, getting ready for my year twenty two,
meeting a teacher, getting ready my classroom is almost ready
to welcome my students. A new year is always like
a fresh start. Yeah ah yah, see that's you don't
always think of it from the teacher's perspective.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
When you're a parent.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You're thinking about your household, your kid, what they're about
to start facing.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
There's so much in it, involved in it.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
And I wonder if teachers too have that same feeling
that kids have at the start of the year when
you get all new stuff. Oh yeah, I got new
shoes and the smell of a new backpack whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Aren't office supplies and school supplies. They're exciting to everybody,
regardless of your age.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And it's because it's a fresh start.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You can start over and be the version of yourself
that you want to be.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It's really a blank piece of paper.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Literally, Yeah, join us anytime morning you pick me up.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Time, are you guys ready for the sweetest story from
the summer, well, one of the sweetest that happened with
this kid in a summer reading program in Jacksonville. This
story was trending last week, so you may have seen
the headline, but I'm gonna break it down for you.
He's eleven years old, he's about to enter sixth grade.
His name is Nea Mayah, and he logged one hundred
volunteer hours over the last year reading aloud to animals
(13:55):
at that Humane Society's shelter. So this is what he
has to say about doing it. Like, it's not just
it doesn't just affect the dog at the time, It
kind of affects everything.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Soothing, feels good, calm, calm to the animals.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
No, like a whole bunch of working is.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Happening, and you know a lot of times a whole
a bunch of barking is happening. But he sits down
and starts to read, and it's in.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
What the animals will animals calm down.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
They really respond to it.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
There's so much about this story that is wonderful, not
just for the obvious reasons. To me, he is definitely
improving his own reading skills. Yeah, because to read aloud
is look read. However, it doesn't matter how you get
it into your brain. Reading takes you anywhere, so it's
you got to do it. It's lovely, but to read
(14:46):
aloud is another skill set. So it's a program they
have there at the shelter. You walk in, there are
books to choose from, and you sign in to log
in some hours and you sit down and you read
a book to a dog.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
It's one of those books, Go Dog Go.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I mean, there's some animal themed books there for sure,
but some of the shelter workers did have a lot
to say as well.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
One hundred hours read here at the shelter is such
an amazing accomplishment over two years. I mean, that's that's
some serious, serious dedication for a young person like Nea Mayah.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The other thing that's happening here to me is that
he may not realize it, but knowing what we know
about dogs and shelters, Murphy, you are helping them become
more adoptable.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah. Well, they're anxiety prone when they're there. Think about it.
That's a very scary. You've got all these strange dogs.
They can't get to each other, to sniff each other,
each other, all the things, and then yeah, it's just stressful.
It can be very stressful.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Social for them.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
So it makes them more adoptable when somebody does come
to meet them.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
They're used to people.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
They have a positive association with people. One more thing
from one of the shelter workers.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
This is a place where we can put the tablet
and the electronics down, pick up a good old fashioned
book and read this. Buddy, who really wants to hear
your voice? I mean, how can you beat that?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Nehemiah is his name?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Up next, gotch your Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
Trending now Jody's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
To no one's surprise, spider Man Brand New Day won
the box office this weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I promised you that I would keep you saying please,
you just have to trust me. Come off three hundred.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
And fifty five million dollars in its debut.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Week, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And it's one of those that, like you got to
go back with me, We've got to see it again.
It is one of those, so expect it to hang
in like we expected. And then the Odyssey is you know,
the number two spot, and then Toy Story five showing.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Everybody what it's really about.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
The other thing about Spider Man brand new day is
that there was a high quality bootleg of it leaked
on x really and apparently a ton and we're talking
maybe in the millions got to check it out before
it was discovered and pulled down. It was this account
named named Frederick Bryan leaked it and it reached almost
(17:05):
six million accounts, like thousands and thousands of people had
the opportunity to watch it, and it was even you know,
re shared before it was taken down.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
It was up for like nine ten hours.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Oh wow. Yeah, that's a long time.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I don't know how that happens, but I'm sure Hollywood
is on top of that. Although it still brought everybody
to the box office, you know, to the movies this weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Coming up at seven fifty, Jody has three things to
note today.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Murphy and I took a road trip this weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't know if you were getting emails from him
on Friday afternoon, Sam me now, but he was working.
Because we don't normally do this. I don't like to
drive on a road trip. I like to not think
and be in the passenger seat.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
And I said, Jody, I've got some work to do. Drive.
She offered, you know, to drive, which was very helpful,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, so he could open up the laptop and get
some work done. And he really he was over sitting
next to me like Kermit with the type.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah. I was like, I mean, I was going I
couldn't believe it, Like forty five minutes went by before.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, wow, here's what else went by. So let me
just take you to the truth of the matter. Is
it's not just that I don't like to drive. I
want to be the passenger princess as they call me
and my family. But on paper, Murphy's car is a
much better car than what I normally drive on the regular.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
A better car.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Okay, it just is a nicer and it's fine as
newer or whatever. But I don't like driving it.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Why because far would be awesome to drive.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I think way too many bells and whistles for a
girl like me. It does things that I don't understand.
There's a there's a lot of great safety features blah
blah blah, but it also is two.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Blah blah the safety features, Sam, can you believe that.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
When it comes to something like driving and keeping yourself
alive on the road to me, the less stuff I
have to think about, the more simple, the better.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
But what did you have to think about? I mean
it was really just bo and goes.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Nails and whistles. But let me get to the point.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
This car is too responsive. Okay, the tiniest movement of
my hand on the steering wheel and we're in the
next lane.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
So that scared me. But but you know what I'm
about to tell him, right, Murphy, I'm about to.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Tell realize how fast you were going.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It's so fantastic this car and responsive that I'm just
minding my own on the interstate trying to get us there,
listening to him work like, kermit next to.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Me, are you actually going to admit this publicly?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
You have you ever driven something that you didn't realize?
You can't feel how fast your mind because it's so great.
At one point, I don't want anybody to get in trouble.
I don't want to get in trouble. But at one
point I looked down and I was in the upper nineties, and.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
She screamed, actually, and I didn't know what was going on.
She slowed down. Yeah, it's like fa, Well, when everybody
else is going that fast around you, you know right.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, coming up next. Three things to know today.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Here's three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Number one, your trip to the dentist coming up soon
could be less painful and in the future for kids too.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
There's this stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
It's called SDF Silver Diamine fluoride. It's a liquid and
it slows down and stops tooth decay. They're testing it now.
It's as simple as painting on a liquid. Dentists are
applying it directly to the cavity with like this little.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Sponge tipped applicator.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
It costs like twenty anywhere from twenty to seventy per application,
way less than traditional fillings. It's not approved by the
FDA yet, but they're getting close, getting close. Number two
Barnes and Noble confirming for everyone that one dollar book
you know you can come in and get one dollar books.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
That's fake.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It's a fake social media promotion with like the one
dollar special code.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
They say it's a phishing.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Scam designed to get your personal information. So there's no
one dollar books right now in parts of Noble. But
they do have some really good book deals. Just check
their official website for those.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, it's twenty twenty six. No one has one, do.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Hey trade stores do like use bookstores do anyway. Bush
Gardens and SeaWorld turning some classic ninety horror movies into
haunted houses this season at their Hallow screen events across
the parks. I know what you did last summer at
SeaWorld and Anaconda at Busch Garden locations during their Halloween events,
which began in September.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
You're up to date.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
Three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
A lot of birthday love for Murphy on our Instagram
and Facebook pages over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really appreciate it's
very sweet.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
We were out of town for Murphy's birthday with a
bunch at a friend's house, and it was really fun
and different, you know, because we have birthday traditions in
our family where we would have taken you out to
dinner and we would have had you a birthday cake
and the girls would have brought you presents.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
A lot of woods in there.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah. Yeah, I didn't get anything this year, Sam, that's
not your what up.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You did get presents leading up to it, but we
were away with some friends and I knew this was
going to happen, but our friend Audra. Knowing it was
his birthday, she waited all day and it wasn't until
dinner the night of your birthday that Murphy got homemade
tier missue Oo for his birthday.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
It was delicious, wonderful surprise.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah, with a you know, happy birthday candle in it too.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah. Yeah, and I ate most of it. And it
was delicious homemade. I mean, that's not an easy thing
to make, Joe, do you know that?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
And she had never made it before.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Right, I daughter, Taylor you know, makes it and it's
it's it's a process because you got to get the
egg right so it doesn't turn into eggs scrambled eggs. Yeah. Right.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
The other part of your birthday, it was your friend
Mark arranging for there to be a they live on
a lake, arranging for there to be a seaedew there.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Nah, explain what a sea do is f he doesn't know, Marph.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
A ceed is a jet ski basically, you know, I
mean without the you're not having to stand up and
balance on standing on it. It's a it's a personal watercraft, actually, Tody,
I that's the official words.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
So it's Murphy loves to ride this thing and so
We're like chilling, sitting, you know, sitting on the deck
or in the water, just chilling. And he gets on
the seade and every few minutes what we hear.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Is yeah, and then again Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I love the CD when the water's right. I got
it up to almost sixty this time fifty nine. But yeah,
and I know I love it so much. What's crazy
is only one other person showed up to ride it.
Her name was Kayla, and she hit awake and it
almost threw her off. Her feet went up from behind her. Yeah.
But for me, it's like is a kid riding a motorcycle.
(23:59):
It's like, right, a motorcycle on the long water, you know.
And so it's a very freeing feeling. And I've learned
how to do all of the you know, jumping the
wakes and it's not like I'm jumping ten feet in
the air. And I will slow it down when I
see that, you know, the wakes coming, because I know
that I'm gonna hurt myself because it will it. It's
like a mechanical bull, and I've never ridden a mechanical bull.
I can only imagine this is what it feels like.
(24:20):
But you it's a full workout, like my calves are
really sore, you know the next day, and that sort
of thing. So, but it's it's a blast, and I
appreciate that Mark did that. It does. He doesn't even
own it. It's a friend of his that has borrows
it and borrows it and brings it over it.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, Happy birthday Murphy.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Coming up. Jody's got your Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Sam regarding your joke that didn't land at the office
supply place when you made the joke about them not
having scissors.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
What was the joke again?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Uh, he had to find some scissors to cut something,
and he says, I thought I had scissors around here,
and I said I would hope. So since this is
an office supply store. See, it gets funnier every time, don't.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
But he didn't laugh.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Okay, I bring I bring it back up because it
reminded me of when we go to the doctor. I
am I've always done this at the doctor's appointments. Well
maybe not if it's someone else. If it's my child
or my mom and I go to the doctor with her,
I'm not a bucket of laughs.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
But when it's for me, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I just do I test the waters with my doctors. Uh,
you know, and anybody that comes into the room.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
You mean, test the waters with a joke, with a.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Joke, yeah, love it.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah, and I but I honestly will say this. Sometimes
it lands, sometimes it doesn't.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Usually with the doctors it doesn't either because.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
They've heard it and they're about business and they're not there.
They're not they don't they're not walking in the room
to be entertained. So I understand it. But I think
the truth of the matter is when we're at the
doctor's office, you have to tell me this is true
for you too, Sam, I don't really do it for them.
I'm not really doing it to make them laugh. I'm
doing it for myself, my self comfort thing.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Maybe makes sense, Yeah, yeah, that's part of I mean,
I'm not doing it at the doctor's office to make
him laugh. That's just a side benefit. I'm nervous there's
going to be a shot or something else going on.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
So it's like, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Don't know if I do because every now and then
it's not like I try to go over the top
being funny. But I mean, some of my doctors really
do have a great sense of humor. So one of them.
I won't say what I said, but his response was, well,
you warn me. If it starts to feel good.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
That's all you need is the punchline on that one.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
You need to make another formula with him.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I came back.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Okay, doctors, anyway, if you're listening for this and you
work in the medical world, you know, just know they're
not necessarily patients are not necessarily looking really to make
you chuckle.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It'd be nice if you do it. If you don't
find you're not obligated to laugh. But I think it's
a self comfort thing. If somebody's going to start cracking
jokes they're trying to get themselves.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Gets you through just about anything, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Thank goodness. And let's talk more about that doctor.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Mr Yeah, Jody's Hollywood outsider.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Warner Brothers is racing to secure a deal for a
Barbie sequel.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Hey, Barbie, can I come to your house tonight?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Sure was so huge.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It was not only huge, like it made a billion
dollars at the Botto and that's not me making that
up at the globally and then it was there were
eight Oscar nominations. Okay, this is not a silly, little
hot movie in that world anyway. So they're trying to
(27:41):
secure the deal for a sequel before the film rights
go back to Mattel, which is by the end of
the year.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
So everybody would come back.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Everybody would come back.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
But the studio has been negotiating with Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling,
who we know they're both very busy, and then director
Greta Gerwick and so that has all stalled because the
Warner Brothers people, oh my gosh, we need you all,
we need every single one of you. And they're like,
they're at a powerful position. Yeah, they have reps going,
I don't know, can you do this without Margo? I
(28:10):
don't think so. Can you do this without Ryan? I
don't think so. And I definitely think the director, Greta
had a ton to do with the energy and feel
of and success of that. She had to fight for
some of the big storylines there. There were parts of
that movie that were very important to the story that
other people wanted to take out and she's like, no,
(28:30):
if I take out this line, you know there's no movie.
So look for it. By the end of the year,
some sort of Barbie deal.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
I found out just how smart a smart TV can
be firm firsthand.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I was just ten years old. It's pretty dumb.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Hey, No, I like our.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Well, the TV is doing stuff I didn't know it
could do on its own. I was just I was
following JODI's advice before Spider Man Brand New Day comes out,
and I was watching the last movie No Way Home
ever since I got.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Bit by that spider.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
When we had one week.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
You know, I paused it because I had to go
in the kitchen and do something. And you know my house,
if you, if you follow us, I have Alex hooked
up to a lot of light bulbs and plugs. I
don't want to say the real name because I don't
mess with stuff. Murphy, your traffic light on my patio
was hooked to a smart plug. So Alex turned on
the traffic light and comes on. And I was in
(29:27):
the kitchen and I said, Alex, turn off the sink,
and I kind of mumbled it. Next thing I know,
the TV turned off. Now here's the deal. I have
never set my TV up with the Echo, the Amazon,
with any of that. My TV has always been me
in a remote control. It went off, and it's like, okay,
what's going on? So I walked in the living room
(29:48):
and I was like, Alex turned the TV back on
and it came back on. So I googled it, okay
to find out. It was either wait and ask Murphy
or Google. It turns out if it's operated if you're
a smart TV, these rokus are operating on the same
Wi Fi network as all the Alex's devices in your house.
(30:11):
They talk to each other behind your back. I haven't
hooked them off to I don't know they They're on
the same network and they communicate with each other. So
it's like it hooked itself up to listen to whenever
I give it.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I want to say, what you're Alex may be automatically
a program to set up it. So one of our TV's,
because it's a Google Smart TV, it can be turned
on and off by Google. Yeah, so I've been able
to do that the same thing that I have the
Alex right exactly, I went into my Alex program and
you see the TV. All the TV's in my house,
(30:46):
they're on there and I haven't set them up.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
How do you feel about that? Because see, that would
not make me feel well.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
I don't like.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
There's a taming piece of mean that's they're doing this
behind my back. Then it's like, hey, great, now, well
do you know I can say TV turn.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Do you watch any Amazon Prime stuff? Hell? Yeah, Well
then you've signed into your Amazon account that way. Maybe
that's a possibility. That's Al and Murphy.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
Three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Number One, it would be nice if drones could help
us spot sharks in the water.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
So guess what.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Researchers at cal State Long Beach are testing out a
new surveillance drone boat that does just that. Tracks great
whites along the California coast. They patrol local waters. They're
listening for tag sharks and d shark DNA in the waters.
And then there's a bonus drone that goes airborne when
they've captured some of that so they can see it,
(31:41):
and then they let local authorities know when when situation.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Number two, you know about Jimothy the raccoon.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Oh yeah, he's so cute.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Oh he's the one that doesn't look like a regular raccoon.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yes, distinct he has a distinctive appearance. Final issues, So
there's a local artist in Seattle who painted a beautiful
portrait of jimithy auctioned it off for charity. You know,
someone bought it for sixty five hundred dollars, but other
companies in the area got involved, like Amazon and Starbucks
and even Microsoft and matched that number, And so they
(32:14):
ended up raising almost sixty thousand dollars for the local
food bank there all because of Jimothy's painting of the art.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Art can make things happen.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Wait to go, Jimithy And number three August is here.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
So what are we expecting in August?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Not just back to school, but it's also National dog Month,
National peach Month, and National Sandwich Month.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
And don't forget near the end of August, what football.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
You're up to date?
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Three things to know today
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody Daily Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
If you're trying to sell a home, they say, the
colors that you paint the walls have a lot to
do with which you know that the color of a
room helps set the mood that you adopt when you
walk into the room, whether you realize it or not.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
And the trick is everybody's perception is different, so that
means something different to different people, right.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Correct, So that's why they say, I think in real
estate we'll say stay neutral.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I've always been told that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
If you're one of those where you loved Mauv for
some reason, and then then you try to sell a
house or the MAUV room, you're probably going to run.
Somebody might love that, but it's not universal. Yeah, you
got to appeal to as many people as possible.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Well, the hot colors in the world of painting rooms
right now, it varies. Warm, earthy reds are in I
kind of like look dark colors. Murphy's not about dark
colors at all, like some you know, bright light colors,
which is good because I do too. One thing we
don't stick on. But the warm colors can make you
(01:09):
feel more cozy and cradled by a room something as
long as it's decorated.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
There was a certain yellow that you and I liked,
a softer yellow that we had in the first house
that we were in with the girls. Yeah, it was
really happy and warm, and I.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Love yellow, especially for a kitchen. It's bright and sunny.
Yellows are in as well.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
But when we went to sell that house, you know,
we were told that you need to go kind of
neutral cream color. Remember that I do. The house got
repainted cream and what's crazy is that it didn't sell.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, nothing to do with that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Soothing blues are in, warm whites are in and dark olives,
oh dark, yeah, dark.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Kind of picture with that. Oh yeah, yeah, not avocado
green the way it was in the seventies. It's a
it's a deeper, yeah, classy looking green.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, said the color man. It's a glassy looking green. Anyway.
I remember when I it's psychological.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You don't realize that the color of a room does
make you feel a certain way. But I remember learning
about it in psychology that fast food restaurants are always
bright colors.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's because they want you to feel the fastness and
they want you to have a certain feeling that your
experience there. Yeah, it's like yellows and reds. There's no
I mean, I guess McDonald's of today do look sort
of gray on the outside.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
They look a little less flashy, but.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
A lot of sign is still red and yellow.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Right right, So color has a lot to do with it.
Careful choosing if you're trying to sell a house.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Coming up in six fifty, Jody has three things to
know today.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Up next, I need your help. I told a salesperson
a joke this weekend, and I need you to tell
me if it was offensive or actually funny. I need
you to tell me if something I said to a
guy at office Depot the other day could be considered rude,
or if it was a really good joke.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Well, what was your intention, Sam.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
A really good joke?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Well, I'm assuming you're asking, is that, Yeah, if you
didn't get the response you were looking for exactly.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I went to office Depot I had to send something
fat X and the guy printed up the label that
I had and he goes, yeah, I got to cut
this and put it on the box. Yeah, he goes,
there should be some scissors back here somewhere, And so
my line was, I would hope so since this is
an office supply store, good, there's one.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Leaf I would have liked that.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That doesn't mean though, because it also I know you.
I'm always ready for the joke with you. I'm always
receptive to it. I should hope so the way you started,
I should hope so could be offensive.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Yeah. Well, he found the scissors and turned around, and
you know, he was straight faced when about cutting it
and telling me how he had to get it down,
like either he didn't hear me or or it was
like sorry, you know we yeh office jokes all the time.
That didn't funny.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
He probably does get off of supply jokes all the time,
you know. Yeah, but you can apply that to so
many things. Hold on, I need to find the tape.
Same jokes from Sam, you know what I mean? Well,
we need to bubble wrap this, same joke from Sam.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Well, after after he did cut it out to put
it on there, he had to go find the packing tape. WHOA, yeah,
I cut my mouth shut on that first. I was
gonna say, like I said.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
You know, I don't want this to stop you though,
I assume that when if a joke doesn't land and
you're asking us about it, you're second guessing yourself.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Please don't stop.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Well, yeah, you know, think about how comedians are constantly
testing their stuff out. By the time we actually see
a concert performance, they have done all of them and
they've eliminated sixty percent of what they were going to do, right,
So yeah, you should totally continue to float and see
what happens. It either means he didn't have a it's
a humor at all, correct, you know, or you know
he didn't.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Hear you I was tired of hearing office depot Joe.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, I'm sorry that happened.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
It was good though.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
See I'm glad y'all both laugh.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You likes it too, Murphy, Yeah, I think it's funny,
but it also works for I need to find a pen.
And on.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
The latest buzz Jody's Hollywood Outsider, there is a Christmas
movie we're gonna get, not this year, but next from
filmmaker Olivia Wilde.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
She likes to make films too, not just be in them.
And she's already set up somebody who we've seen in
a Christmas movie before, and that's Peter Dinklige.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I know you remember that he was an elf.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
You're feeling strong. My friend call me elf one more time.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
He's an angry else.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So Peter Dinkledge starring in this opposite Jennifer Aniston. It's
called Naughty. That's the name of the Christmas movie.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Peter Dinkli is taking on the role of Santa.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Claus, Oh Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
And the story.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Follows the lady Mallory who it'll be Jennifer Anderson, trying
to convince Santa to help testify in her divorce case
to help her win custody of her son from her.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Ex's He's going to be a great Sanna, I know.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So look for that. I mean to have those two
on board already. And that's the storyline. Maybe it'll become
a instant class right.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I'm moving on to Lindsay Lohan. You know she's back.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
She has this new series called she's working on it
called Count My Lies. She's talking again about revisiting The
Parent Trap.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I want to talk to you about my mother.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
What about your mother?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
She made her acting debut in The Parent Trap. Such
a cute kid, and she said she would do a
revisit as long as she could see the script first.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Coming up in six fifty. Jody has three things to
note today.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
We always say jump in on any conversation that you hear,
and so Barbara Barb has done that to Murphysamonjody dot
Com on your recent New York City Vacation podcast, which
we did one because we went on a little trip
Murph with our girls.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Well, Sam was there too. At the front of the start.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Murphy and Jody mentioned eating pastrami, and this triggered my memories.
My husband's aunt lived in Connecticut, and we visited her
many times over the years. During a twenty fourteen trip,
we enjoyed seeing Wicket on Broadway, which was awesome. One day,
we were hungry and found Mendy's Kosher Deli in Grand
Central Station before taking the train back to Connecticut. It
(07:38):
was there that we found Mendy's Kosher Deli stand and
had the best pastrami we've ever had, which is significant
to mention thank you for the memories. Just talking about pastrami,
she felt compelled.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That's one of those we're saying it's the best because
there are so many great places in New York that
have it. It's almost like you have to try it everywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And you sort of did you had a few pistrami
sandwiches while.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
We were I did. There was only one that wasn't
the greatest, and it just it's only because it was
I think it was cut too thick and it had
a little bit too much of the fat in it.
It just wasn't, you know, the perfect sandwich. But every
other one I had was great.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's a funny thing because that's a that's either a
thing for you or it is not. I've never eaten
a pastrami sandwich. It just doesn't sound like my bag.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
You know, you never tried pastrami.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I think I may have had a bite of yours
once and I was just like, yeah, well you're not.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You're not a corn beef fan and you're not really
a pastrami fan.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Did you have any pistrami?
Speaker 5 (08:37):
When the three of us went and ate with our
friend John, Oh, that's right. He said that pstrami was
is okay?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Right?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I thought it was okay.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So he's a New Yorker and he had an opinion.
So everyone who lives anywhere there's lots of pistrami available,
they try it all, just like Barb and then they
had they end up having a favorite. So the making
a case for the best pistrami sandwich in New York,
there's a lot of different.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Ways making a case for the best pizza in New York.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yes, it is so anyway, barb is recommending Mendy's Kosher.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Deli stand at Grand Central Station.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Well, it'll be a few years before we get back
up there, but.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
You know, yeah, and if you get a does it
make you talking about it? Is to make you, guys
want a pastrami sandwich today?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yes, every time?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Right, Thank you Barbara for that.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Murphy Samon Jody dot com.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Number One, apparently your word count is down and you
don't even realize it. Over the years, we are speaking
fewer words every single day, like thirty percent less, and
that's all.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Over the place, all over the world.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Number one, the reason is that we're spending more time alone,
so why would you be talking to yourself as much?
And the other is that we're changing out these these
lots of interactions that we used to do with, like
perceptionists and cashiers and even at the bank, with apps
and texts and online forms of communicating. But they say
look out because you know, face to face talk still
(10:03):
builds emotional intelligence.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It's better for you. Number two.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
In the world of pro football, which a lot of
us are getting ready for, it's almost time. NFL teams,
a lot of them were annoyed by the tush push,
remember yeah, and it was a frequent play by the Eagles,
Philadelphia Eagles, and so they didn't make the playoffs last season,
so that subject has not come up. So the NFL
has decided not to make any specific instructions or issues
(10:28):
about it. So if they decide to use it again
this year, they can.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
And number three.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
With summer winding down here in the next what month, Americans,
we do eat a lot of ice cream in the summertime,
especially in the top three flavors. Number one again always
I guess is vanilla chocolate is a strong number two.
And for the number three spot, cookie dough in any
and all forms.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
You're up to date.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Conversation anytime you know, we mean it eight seven seven
three one zero four MSJ.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
We also know it is back to school time.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Going to get to some teacher comments, but first I
want to say to students, to all students, no matter
what your age, if you are starting elementary school, you
know this year, or you're going into high school.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Don't think of what you're about to embark on as hard.
It might not be hard for you. It's unfamiliar, you know.
That's that's the way to look at it. I've had
to learn that myself in my life. You know, anytime
something new technical comes our way, my first thought is
this is intimidating, this is going to be hard, and
(11:41):
I start self doubting. And the truth that I've learned
to say, no, Jody, it's just unfamiliar, and once it
becomes familiar to me, I'll be okay. And so that's
true for algebra, that's true for whatever your French, whatever
you're learning that you're a little nervous about. Or maybe
the students are unfamiliar and the teachers are unfamiliar, but
in a few days they won't be.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
So remember that back to school time.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I want to say now to the teachers from Messenger,
if you follow us on Instagram, YouTube, all the places
Deanna sent sent, thank you for shouting out teachers. It
means a lot considering how challenging our jobs are these days.
I have a seventy mile commute to my school each day. Wow,
always listen to you guys when driving.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Well, thank you. And let's say long commute.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
It's more than an hour, depending on how fast you're driving.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, all right, Monica, getting ready for my year twenty two,
meeting a teacher, getting ready my classroom is almost ready
to welcome my students. A new year is always like
a fresh start. Yeah ah yah, see that's you don't
always think of it from the teacher's perspective.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
When you're a parent.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You're thinking about your household, your kid, what they're about
to start facing.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
There's so much in it, involved in it.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
And I wonder if teachers too have that same feeling
that kids have at the start of the year when
you get all new stuff. Oh yeah, I got new
shoes and the smell of a new backpack whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Aren't office supplies and school supplies. They're exciting to everybody,
regardless of your age.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And it's because it's a fresh start.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You can start over and be the version of yourself
that you want to be.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It's really a blank piece of paper.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Literally, Yeah, join us anytime morning you pick me up.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Time, are you guys ready for the sweetest story from
the summer, well, one of the sweetest that happened with
this kid in a summer reading program in Jacksonville. This
story was trending last week, so you may have seen
the headline, but I'm gonna break it down for you.
He's eleven years old, he's about to enter sixth grade.
His name is Nea Mayah, and he logged one hundred
volunteer hours over the last year reading aloud to animals
(13:55):
at that Humane Society's shelter. So this is what he
has to say about doing it. Like, it's not just
it doesn't just affect the dog at the time, It
kind of affects everything.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Soothing, feels good, calm, calm to the animals.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
No, like a whole bunch of working is.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Happening, and you know a lot of times a whole
a bunch of barking is happening. But he sits down
and starts to read, and it's in.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
What the animals will animals calm down.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
They really respond to it.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
There's so much about this story that is wonderful, not
just for the obvious reasons. To me, he is definitely
improving his own reading skills. Yeah, because to read aloud
is look read. However, it doesn't matter how you get
it into your brain. Reading takes you anywhere, so it's
you got to do it. It's lovely, but to read
(14:46):
aloud is another skill set. So it's a program they
have there at the shelter. You walk in, there are
books to choose from, and you sign in to log
in some hours and you sit down and you read
a book to a dog.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
It's one of those books, Go Dog Go.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I mean, there's some animal themed books there for sure,
but some of the shelter workers did have a lot
to say as well.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
One hundred hours read here at the shelter is such
an amazing accomplishment over two years. I mean, that's that's
some serious, serious dedication for a young person like Nea Mayah.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The other thing that's happening here to me is that
he may not realize it, but knowing what we know
about dogs and shelters, Murphy, you are helping them become
more adoptable.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah. Well, they're anxiety prone when they're there. Think about it.
That's a very scary. You've got all these strange dogs.
They can't get to each other, to sniff each other,
each other, all the things, and then yeah, it's just stressful.
It can be very stressful.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Social for them.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
So it makes them more adoptable when somebody does come
to meet them.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
They're used to people.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
They have a positive association with people. One more thing
from one of the shelter workers.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
This is a place where we can put the tablet
and the electronics down, pick up a good old fashioned
book and read this. Buddy, who really wants to hear
your voice? I mean, how can you beat that?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Nehemiah is his name?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Up next, gotch your Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
Trending now Jody's Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
To no one's surprise, spider Man Brand New Day won
the box office this weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I promised you that I would keep you saying please,
you just have to trust me. Come off three hundred.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
And fifty five million dollars in its debut.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Week, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And it's one of those that, like you got to
go back with me, We've got to see it again.
It is one of those, so expect it to hang
in like we expected. And then the Odyssey is you know,
the number two spot, and then Toy Story five showing.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Everybody what it's really about.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
The other thing about Spider Man brand new day is
that there was a high quality bootleg of it leaked
on x really and apparently a ton and we're talking
maybe in the millions got to check it out before
it was discovered and pulled down. It was this account
named named Frederick Bryan leaked it and it reached almost
(17:05):
six million accounts, like thousands and thousands of people had
the opportunity to watch it, and it was even you know,
re shared before it was taken down.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
It was up for like nine ten hours.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Oh wow. Yeah, that's a long time.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I don't know how that happens, but I'm sure Hollywood
is on top of that. Although it still brought everybody
to the box office, you know, to the movies this weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Coming up at seven fifty, Jody has three things to
note today.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Murphy and I took a road trip this weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't know if you were getting emails from him
on Friday afternoon, Sam me now, but he was working.
Because we don't normally do this. I don't like to
drive on a road trip. I like to not think
and be in the passenger seat.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
And I said, Jody, I've got some work to do. Drive.
She offered, you know, to drive, which was very helpful,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, so he could open up the laptop and get
some work done. And he really he was over sitting
next to me like Kermit with the type.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah. I was like, I mean, I was going I
couldn't believe it, Like forty five minutes went by before.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, wow, here's what else went by. So let me
just take you to the truth of the matter. Is
it's not just that I don't like to drive. I
want to be the passenger princess as they call me
and my family. But on paper, Murphy's car is a
much better car than what I normally drive on the regular.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
A better car.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Okay, it just is a nicer and it's fine as
newer or whatever. But I don't like driving it.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Why because far would be awesome to drive.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I think way too many bells and whistles for a
girl like me. It does things that I don't understand.
There's a there's a lot of great safety features blah
blah blah, but it also is two.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Blah blah the safety features, Sam, can you believe that.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
When it comes to something like driving and keeping yourself
alive on the road to me, the less stuff I
have to think about, the more simple, the better.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
But what did you have to think about? I mean
it was really just bo and goes.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Nails and whistles. But let me get to the point.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
This car is too responsive. Okay, the tiniest movement of
my hand on the steering wheel and we're in the
next lane.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
So that scared me. But but you know what I'm
about to tell him, right, Murphy, I'm about to.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Tell realize how fast you were going.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It's so fantastic this car and responsive that I'm just
minding my own on the interstate trying to get us there,
listening to him work like, kermit next to.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Me, are you actually going to admit this publicly?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
You have you ever driven something that you didn't realize?
You can't feel how fast your mind because it's so great.
At one point, I don't want anybody to get in trouble.
I don't want to get in trouble. But at one
point I looked down and I was in the upper nineties, and.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
She screamed, actually, and I didn't know what was going on.
She slowed down. Yeah, it's like fa, Well, when everybody
else is going that fast around you, you know right.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, coming up next. Three things to know today.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Here's three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Number one, your trip to the dentist coming up soon
could be less painful and in the future for kids too.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
There's this stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
It's called SDF Silver Diamine fluoride. It's a liquid and
it slows down and stops tooth decay. They're testing it now.
It's as simple as painting on a liquid. Dentists are
applying it directly to the cavity with like this little.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Sponge tipped applicator.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
It costs like twenty anywhere from twenty to seventy per application,
way less than traditional fillings. It's not approved by the
FDA yet, but they're getting close, getting close. Number two
Barnes and Noble confirming for everyone that one dollar book
you know you can come in and get one dollar books.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
That's fake.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It's a fake social media promotion with like the one
dollar special code.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
They say it's a phishing.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Scam designed to get your personal information. So there's no
one dollar books right now in parts of Noble. But
they do have some really good book deals. Just check
their official website for those.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, it's twenty twenty six. No one has one, do.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Hey trade stores do like use bookstores do anyway. Bush
Gardens and SeaWorld turning some classic ninety horror movies into
haunted houses this season at their Hallow screen events across
the parks. I know what you did last summer at
SeaWorld and Anaconda at Busch Garden locations during their Halloween events,
which began in September.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
You're up to date.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
Three things to know today.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
A lot of birthday love for Murphy on our Instagram
and Facebook pages over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really appreciate it's
very sweet.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
We were out of town for Murphy's birthday with a
bunch at a friend's house, and it was really fun
and different, you know, because we have birthday traditions in
our family where we would have taken you out to
dinner and we would have had you a birthday cake
and the girls would have brought you presents.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
A lot of woods in there.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah. Yeah, I didn't get anything this year, Sam, that's
not your what up.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You did get presents leading up to it, but we
were away with some friends and I knew this was
going to happen, but our friend Audra. Knowing it was
his birthday, she waited all day and it wasn't until
dinner the night of your birthday that Murphy got homemade
tier missue Oo for his birthday.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
It was delicious, wonderful surprise.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah, with a you know, happy birthday candle in it too.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah. Yeah, and I ate most of it. And it
was delicious homemade. I mean, that's not an easy thing
to make, Joe, do you know that?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
And she had never made it before.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Right, I daughter, Taylor you know, makes it and it's
it's it's a process because you got to get the
egg right so it doesn't turn into eggs scrambled eggs. Yeah. Right.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
The other part of your birthday, it was your friend
Mark arranging for there to be a they live on
a lake, arranging for there to be a seaedew there.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Nah, explain what a sea do is f he doesn't know, Marph.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
A ceed is a jet ski basically, you know, I
mean without the you're not having to stand up and
balance on standing on it. It's a it's a personal watercraft, actually, Tody,
I that's the official words.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
So it's Murphy loves to ride this thing and so
We're like chilling, sitting, you know, sitting on the deck
or in the water, just chilling. And he gets on
the seade and every few minutes what we hear.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Is yeah, and then again Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I love the CD when the water's right. I got
it up to almost sixty this time fifty nine. But yeah,
and I know I love it so much. What's crazy
is only one other person showed up to ride it.
Her name was Kayla, and she hit awake and it
almost threw her off. Her feet went up from behind her. Yeah.
But for me, it's like is a kid riding a motorcycle.
(23:59):
It's like, right, a motorcycle on the long water, you know.
And so it's a very freeing feeling. And I've learned
how to do all of the you know, jumping the
wakes and it's not like I'm jumping ten feet in
the air. And I will slow it down when I
see that, you know, the wakes coming, because I know
that I'm gonna hurt myself because it will it. It's
like a mechanical bull, and I've never ridden a mechanical bull.
I can only imagine this is what it feels like.
(24:20):
But you it's a full workout, like my calves are
really sore, you know the next day, and that sort
of thing. So, but it's it's a blast, and I
appreciate that Mark did that. It does. He doesn't even
own it. It's a friend of his that has borrows
it and borrows it and brings it over it.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, Happy birthday Murphy.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Coming up. Jody's got your Hollywood Outsider.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Sam regarding your joke that didn't land at the office
supply place when you made the joke about them not
having scissors.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
What was the joke again?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Uh, he had to find some scissors to cut something,
and he says, I thought I had scissors around here,
and I said I would hope. So since this is
an office supply store. See, it gets funnier every time, don't.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
But he didn't laugh.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Okay, I bring I bring it back up because it
reminded me of when we go to the doctor. I
am I've always done this at the doctor's appointments. Well
maybe not if it's someone else. If it's my child
or my mom and I go to the doctor with her,
I'm not a bucket of laughs.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
But when it's for me, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I just do I test the waters with my doctors. Uh,
you know, and anybody that comes into the room.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
You mean, test the waters with a joke, with a.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Joke, yeah, love it.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah, and I but I honestly will say this. Sometimes
it lands, sometimes it doesn't.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Usually with the doctors it doesn't either because.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
They've heard it and they're about business and they're not there.
They're not they don't they're not walking in the room
to be entertained. So I understand it. But I think
the truth of the matter is when we're at the
doctor's office, you have to tell me this is true
for you too, Sam, I don't really do it for them.
I'm not really doing it to make them laugh. I'm
doing it for myself, my self comfort thing.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Maybe makes sense, Yeah, yeah, that's part of I mean,
I'm not doing it at the doctor's office to make
him laugh. That's just a side benefit. I'm nervous there's
going to be a shot or something else going on.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
So it's like, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Don't know if I do because every now and then
it's not like I try to go over the top
being funny. But I mean, some of my doctors really
do have a great sense of humor. So one of them.
I won't say what I said, but his response was, well,
you warn me. If it starts to feel good.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
That's all you need is the punchline on that one.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
You need to make another formula with him.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I came back.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Okay, doctors, anyway, if you're listening for this and you
work in the medical world, you know, just know they're
not necessarily patients are not necessarily looking really to make
you chuckle.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It'd be nice if you do it. If you don't
find you're not obligated to laugh. But I think it's
a self comfort thing. If somebody's going to start cracking
jokes they're trying to get themselves.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Gets you through just about anything, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Thank goodness. And let's talk more about that doctor.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Mr Yeah, Jody's Hollywood outsider.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Warner Brothers is racing to secure a deal for a
Barbie sequel.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Hey, Barbie, can I come to your house tonight?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Sure was so huge.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It was not only huge, like it made a billion
dollars at the Botto and that's not me making that
up at the globally and then it was there were
eight Oscar nominations. Okay, this is not a silly, little
hot movie in that world anyway. So they're trying to
(27:41):
secure the deal for a sequel before the film rights
go back to Mattel, which is by the end of
the year.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
So everybody would come back.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Everybody would come back.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
But the studio has been negotiating with Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling,
who we know they're both very busy, and then director
Greta Gerwick and so that has all stalled because the
Warner Brothers people, oh my gosh, we need you all,
we need every single one of you. And they're like,
they're at a powerful position. Yeah, they have reps going,
I don't know, can you do this without Margo? I
(28:10):
don't think so. Can you do this without Ryan? I
don't think so. And I definitely think the director, Greta
had a ton to do with the energy and feel
of and success of that. She had to fight for
some of the big storylines there. There were parts of
that movie that were very important to the story that
other people wanted to take out and she's like, no,
(28:30):
if I take out this line, you know there's no movie.
So look for it. By the end of the year,
some sort of Barbie deal.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
I found out just how smart a smart TV can
be firm firsthand.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I was just ten years old. It's pretty dumb.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Hey, No, I like our.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Well, the TV is doing stuff I didn't know it
could do on its own. I was just I was
following JODI's advice before Spider Man Brand New Day comes out,
and I was watching the last movie No Way Home
ever since I got.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Bit by that spider.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
When we had one week.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
You know, I paused it because I had to go
in the kitchen and do something. And you know my house,
if you, if you follow us, I have Alex hooked
up to a lot of light bulbs and plugs. I
don't want to say the real name because I don't
mess with stuff. Murphy, your traffic light on my patio
was hooked to a smart plug. So Alex turned on
the traffic light and comes on. And I was in
(29:27):
the kitchen and I said, Alex, turn off the sink,
and I kind of mumbled it. Next thing I know,
the TV turned off. Now here's the deal. I have
never set my TV up with the Echo, the Amazon,
with any of that. My TV has always been me
in a remote control. It went off, and it's like, okay,
what's going on? So I walked in the living room
(29:48):
and I was like, Alex turned the TV back on
and it came back on. So I googled it, okay
to find out. It was either wait and ask Murphy
or Google. It turns out if it's operated if you're
a smart TV, these rokus are operating on the same
Wi Fi network as all the Alex's devices in your house.
(30:11):
They talk to each other behind your back. I haven't
hooked them off to I don't know they They're on
the same network and they communicate with each other. So
it's like it hooked itself up to listen to whenever
I give it.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I want to say, what you're Alex may be automatically
a program to set up it. So one of our TV's,
because it's a Google Smart TV, it can be turned
on and off by Google. Yeah, so I've been able
to do that the same thing that I have the
Alex right exactly, I went into my Alex program and
you see the TV. All the TV's in my house,
(30:46):
they're on there and I haven't set them up.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
How do you feel about that? Because see, that would
not make me feel well.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
I don't like.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
There's a taming piece of mean that's they're doing this
