Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Choni after the Show podcast
where we hang out a little bit longer. And you know,
sometimes there's just not enough time in the show to
cram everything is.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
To say more than three things to know today. There
were so many stories this week and we only have
room for three things to Know every hour during the show.
So here we go. Want to remind you this is
a bonus reminder. We did this this week and three things.
But on Monday, not only is it a National Day
(00:29):
of service, it's Martin Luther King Junior Day, but it's
also because of that day, it's a fee free day
in all national parks. Yeah, it's free to visit any
national park on Monday, and.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Most of them mothers are going to be iced over.
But you know, well there's.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
A lot of there's still a lot to know, and
there's still a lot to see.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
It's like you got that, you got the inauguration, and
don't forget the National Championship.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
There's so much. Yeah, sometimes there's so much going on, correct.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Correct, But how cool would it be to be able
to take the end of the day and go into
a national park and just decompress.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
And being a National Day of Service at some of
those parks. You can volunteer in.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The park's nice too.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, yeah, two birds once sting, feed the bears anyway, No,
all right, another story that didn't make three things to
Know but should have. Nintendo has revealed the Switch Too
is coming later this year. Yeah, they dropped a you know,
a little teaser of it for fans. It's going to
be a similar design to the to the original switch,
but it'll have a bigger screen and more info about it.
(01:29):
It's coming soon. It's going to drop the new switch
on April second. So if you've got a gamer in
the family, they're going to be asking for it. You
can sign up for free tickets to try it out
for free in April in New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
You know, I'm trying to remember, was.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
We have a Taylor has a switch?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Taylor does have a switch?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
What did the girls have when they were little? What
was that thing called? No, not the we I remember
the wei oh game boy. No, it was a little
it was a little handheld device that would close up,
but it was it had little games. Oh my god,
see card looking thing that would go in and I'm
pretty sure that was a Nintendo game.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I can see that thing. I can remember them looking
for the little uh.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
They were huge around like two days games. Yeah, I
feel dumb that I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
YE called either Taylor Phoebe. I'm sorry we were paying attention.
I mean we bought those things for you. I just
don't remember the name of them either. Game. No, anyway,
Nintendo switch to is coming. Also something else floating around
that did not make three things to know today, but
I really wanted it to. There was a viral photo,
(02:38):
a photo that's gone viral of an Academy award in
the ashes of the LA wildfires. Was like, oh my gosh,
who's lost their Academy award? No one? It was a fake.
It was created by A I so shame on whoever
created that. Yeah, it was a fake.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And that's those are all just like things to come
from AI, right, it's the look. I know AI does
more good than but we've already seen two goofy things
come out of this during the fire. As somebody showed
the Hollywood sign on the fire, that was AI and
a fake, you know, but you.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Got to think it's somebody who's just laughing, thinking, oh,
let's create this, let's see how it's just. But there
are ways. I mean, they did some sort of it
was a search, a reverse image search that they did
on it. I don't really know how that works, but
that's how they found out it wasn't it wasn't real,
not an Academy award. It didn't get burned up.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
You know. It's interesting to me. I wonder if at
some point, sooner than later, that any of these companies
that offer the AI generation, the software generation, if they'll
be required to keep copies of that kind of stuff,
you know, in other words, all the text data that
goes in because you're you're writing a summary of what
you want the AI to create, it's being stored somewhere,
(03:51):
and so for you know, for the sake of law
enforcement to be able to monitor fakes in the future,
whether it's documents or others. I'm sure there's got to
be some way to trace it backwards, like you were saying,
of course, dial footprint.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
A note from the Academy on that story is that
if an oscar ever is destroyed for whatever reason, the
Academy will replace it. Oh I could dig in. I mean,
I expect that you have to pay for everything in Hollywood.
But okay, moving on the FDA. This is another story
that didn't make the cut for three Things, but I
would have loved to have put it in. It's almost
(04:24):
like it should be ten things to know every day.
The FDA wants to put and probably will be putting
in the future, many nutrition labels on the front of
packages too. You see some of that already. You know,
the full nutrition label is on the back for those
who are very interested in digging in and looking. But
the labels would be very basic, only mentioning three nutrients
(04:46):
saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars, and then with a high,
medium or low designation, just all to keep us more
informed about what we are putting into our bodies.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, that's probably a good idea. It's easy to be
in denial when you can just turn the box around.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, I didn't see that.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And they're really the cool pictures on the front, right,
the one that makes you hungry.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
It's one of the smartest things you can do. It's
not fun, but to really pay attention for one week
of your life to every bite you if you abide it,
write it, and to pay attention to fat content and
sodium content. Things that you find so delicious, You have
no idea how much that stuff is loaded up, well.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Especially when it's small and it tastes so great, you
know that. So when I until those labels became more mandatory,
bigger labels, you know, which has happened a lot. I
guess over the last twenty years. I never really thought
about it. You know what, Actually, I will tell you
what the game changer was for me was when restaurants
and fast food restaurants were required to start posting the
(05:50):
calories next to each meal that they serve, because you know,
you don't think about something like that, something very small.
If you don't know, you can exceed. It's math. Nobody
likes doing math, right, But if all you're supposed to
eat is twenty twenty five hundred calories a day, and
the little things that you love that you can eat,
a whole sleeve pack or other of you know what
(06:12):
I'm talking about, You can easily put down four or
five thousand calories a day. If you're not careful, it
goes and I mean and your body's not going to
get rid of.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That, you know, it goes along with that thing about
things that it would be nice if it were taught
in school. Yes, it's a parent's you know, task to
try to just explain nutrition and choices, those choices to
children growing up every day, because if you're feeding your
kids every day, you have that opportunity. But it would
be nice for there to be a basic nutrition class.
(06:42):
And when I say that, I don't just mean reading labels,
but knowing when you look at a tomato, what do
you think that it's got this and that and fiber
in it? Versus when you look at a bowl of
ice cream. Yes, it's calcium, but what's the price you pay?
How much saturated fat? Learning what's in food would help
you choose between things.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, maybe the fats and things weren't described as much,
but I mean when we were before they came out
with the food pyramid, it was what was it the
I don't remember what the food pyramid whatever it's, you know,
but they taught that in school. I mean, look, I
was an elementary school in the early eighties, late seventies,
(07:25):
and they're part of PE was nutrition And.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Do you remember takeaways though?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, I mean I remember the basics vegetables and that
I knew that you were supposed to supposed to eat
a ton of candy or whatever, but nobody was talking
about all the hidden fats and that kind of stuff.
Sure didn't you know. That's where to me the labeling
comes in really handy, because if you think about when
they started using the term trans fats and what they
(07:52):
call fully hydrogenated oils, all that kind of stuff. The
reason that existence there existed and still does in some
cases in the first place, is it's cheaper to transports.
It's cheaper for a manufacturer to turn the fats into
a solid block that they can then transport to the factory,
you know, and then fry in it, do whatever it
is that they do. That process is not.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Good for you because your body, well think about it.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Oil sitting in a bottle at room temperature is oil.
Hydrogenated blocks of oil fully hydrogenated at room temperature is
a block. What do you think it's going to do
when it goes in your body?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
For it or something?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I would have never known that, you know, if that's
why you know, like with the peanut butters, now, if
it says it's got the hydrogenated, I don't buy it.
And we Jody, you and I haven't done that a
long time. Don't peanut butter itself is a healthier quote
unquote fat. I know they add some sugar to it,
but any little bitty piece like that, that's where it's
made the difference. You know, for me, my problem is
still self control. My problem is the things that taste good.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
You know, still haven't found healthy oreo right exactly?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
By the way, before we go any further, Jody, I
just have to give you props because you just said
something I've never heard before. I don't know if you
created this just now, but you said, if you bite
it right.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
It Oh oh yeah, I didn't catch that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I did not create that. I will not take credit.
I heard that a long time ago. But it does
make sense. If it goes in your mouth, it needs
to You need to log it, and then you really
will learn about what you are eating.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It's a tough habit to maintain, and it does work that.
It's anytime that I have done that, and then I
always wind up rolling off of it after about eight
weeks or so, when I've done any of the apps
or whatever. And if you do look at it and
you're not really starving yourself. You just do the math,
you know it to eat. It's kind of like this
visual meal prep. I lose weight, I do. I mean,
(09:39):
I do fine with that. But when I stop doing that,
because there's enough to think about every day anyway.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Awareness is everything. Think about it self. Awareness is everything. Look.
The thing about it is, if you struggle with it
back and forth, you're always going to struggle with it
back and forth. Just always go back. Just try, always try.
You get a new chance every day. Ready to me
another one? Okay, right to move write that down too, Sam.
The busiest airport in the.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
World, oh, is do we have it in America?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
In the United States?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's got to be the Atlanta area.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's the new annual list. And again it's from an
aviation analytics firm. That's a fun place to work anyway. Yeah,
the number one airport is Atlanta for the busiest.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, Hartsfield Jackson. I mean, I remember when they added
that extra runway out there. I don't remember which now
it's the fourth and fifth runway whatever it was they
added a few years ago, really increased the amount of
traffic going through there.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I will say, though, I mean, I guess we've all had.
You can have a bad experience even at a good airport,
but they do run it really well. The times I've
been through it, you know, it's just like, okay, I
know what I'm doing. It's crazy busy, but there's a
system to everything.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, and I mean that's the home of Delta. So
Delta's big hub, and you know where they maintain their
planes and all. That's all there.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Really if you get stuck, there some really good jet
watching out of the windows. Okay, So it's the number
one busiest.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I guess number two. Sure, I just want to play
a guessing game.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So number two trying to give you the list.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
That's it's at Lax No is it. No, it's not Dallas,
not O'Hare in Chicago. Okay, we're gonna get it JF
New York.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Let's get to those. Number two on the list would
be an airport in Dubai.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh oh, this is worldwide.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Okay, it's just it's notable that Atlanta is number one.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Is the worst one.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Number it's down for Dallas is the next one down
at five, at five, and then Denver, then Chicago pulling
in the top ten. But Dubai on the list at
number two, number three, Tokyo and London, okay, being the
fourth and then the fifth busiest being Dallas.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
So a friend of mine who was you know, went
to school in Dallas for a while and his family
was there. You know, it's a hub airport you're flying out.
I remember him bragging about the you know, we DFW
it's the only airport with its own zip code and
I I mean there may be others that have their
DFL Texas, the airport itself has its own zip code.
(12:05):
I mean that makes sense when you think about it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
You know he was proud of that.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Huh yeah he was.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
If your impression of it it leads us to believe
hele well, my answer.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Was man, wow, me right, yeah, that's greater.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Are you're still mailing things? Well?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
This was nineteen nine. Woh Okay, here's.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
One of my favorite stories of the week that there's
no way I could have fit in a regular Three
things to know because we try to make that, you know,
efficient for you Instacart customers. A large portion of Instacart
customers are now requesting a female only option after guys
continued to get orders wrong. I am sorry, this is
(12:43):
not meant to be sexist, but they found that male
Instacart shoppers.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Helped me out. Instacart is food only.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It's grocery stores. Okay, okay, So if you order something
from a grocery store, grocery store through instacart, there's a
shopper who you know, picks out your watermelons for you
and your serrooni and puts it in the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
But they're not they're not an employee of the store.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
No, they're an employee of instacart. And they have found that,
I mean, over the time that they've used it. It's
like they they're male employees, are not. And the reason
this is an interesting story to me is that I
have found in my time and experience of doing things
like this, you know, running the household, you find that men,
(13:25):
most I know that you're the one exception of the rule, Sam,
but most men are not as specific and ticky tacky
lighter on the details. So what's happening on instacart is
that when the male uh workers are they're choosing.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Says here chips, what kinds?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
When that matter? Chips?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Right, when they're choosing substitutions, It's like if you order
Dorito's and they don't have nacho cheese. You're you're supposed
to do a substitution of something as close and then
they're throwing in you know, barbecue lays in it, and it's.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Like, okay, but see that's not the That is what
needs to be addressed is if they're going to be
sophisticated enough for barcodes and everything to choose the exact
item that goes in the cart. The substitution needs to
be the suggestion of the grocery store, not of the
person you know who's because it's not their fault. It
becomes a perception thing. Everything is precise because of a
(14:19):
UPC code. You know, it doesn't it's all that what
do you call it? That's not automation. But you know
what I'm saying. You go in there with a list,
if they scan and they get the UPC code matches, boom,
that's what the person's ordered. Stick it in the cart.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I hear you. But what I'm saying is that what
they're finding is there are a lot of instacart customers
who requesting female only because they find that the substitutions
and the decision making is more precise that makes sense,
and it's true. I will tell you one example. I mean,
men and women are so very different, but I find
it in the home to be more like in the
(14:55):
daily life of running a kitchen for instance.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Oh, so, do you we have an example from Matt
home with me?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I don't have an example from at home with Murphy
because I don't want to pick on Murphy because he's
fabulous in many many ways when it comes to kitchen details,
maybe not as much. But for instance, there's a grocery store,
a market that I go to often right down the
street from our house, and it has one of those
delis with the you know, the glass over the and
(15:21):
you want to go in and pick up some chicken
salad or some you know, pasta salad or whatever. And
anytime it's a and you order it by the the
container and it's weighed, and so anytime it's a girl,
a female back there, you're like, I'll take some of
the chicken salad and they'll put it in there, and
they'll feel it, fill it all the way to the
top and put the lid on and weigh it. And
(15:42):
it's like, great, I want as much in that container
as I can get, and then every time, I mean
every time it's a man doing it or a guy,
he halfway kind of fills it and I'm like, and
he weighs it and he wants to hand it to me,
and I'm like, can you fill the rest of it up?
I trying to do it. There have been times where
I've just ordered a second one because I don't want to.
(16:05):
You know, sure, no problem, Karen, I don't I'm never ugly.
Don't be like, but I don't know what that is.
I think it's a just men and women are wired differently,
and it's a he's a sweet man and you know
he but him it's just like give her a couple
(16:26):
of scoops and put the lid on it. And to me,
it's like fill it all the way up if I'm
playing paying by the pound.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
So they're just tiny little differences and it's showing up
in instacart. I just wanted to share the story. That
is all, and let's do one more. State Farm will
not be uh spending or running a super Bowl commercial
this year, will hold on to do They usually spend
(16:53):
seven million bucks on a Super Bowl super Bowl commercials,
that's what they cost. But right now they've been denying
homeowners fire insurance in California. They are, and so they
have some there are some big fat question marks about
what's going on here, and so they realize maybe we
should step well, not just that, we have other things
(17:16):
to worry about. So I guess that opens the slot
for somebody.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Spend that money on claims, spend that money on the customers, right, exactly,
missed any part of the show.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Get it All on the Murphy Salmon Jody podcast.
