Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's Friday. You know.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm not one of those that usually says, oh, I'm
so glad this week is almost over. But lord, that's
the kind of way that I feel this week. It's weird.
And I never really bought into what Jodie was saying
every year about the time change causing problems.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
I've never believed me or the medical community.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well, it just it had never really affected me before.
And it's the only I can figure this week. Man,
it has been and every day has been off and weird.
Monday didn't bother me.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
It's just been as the week goes on, and it's like,
how does one hour on a Saturday Sunday a week ago.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
First, I believe that we are just human beings, and
we are more sensitive to our rhythms, our environment, all
of that than we can possibly understand. Scientists probably do,
and the medical community katian rhythm. But I just trust
that your body is sensitive to light, to heat, to cold,
to time changes and a routine. And so seriously, I

(01:01):
have felt tired all week and one morning this week
when I Sam, you get here first, then I get here,
and then Murphy gets here, and so it's like, what.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Did I say?

Speaker 5 (01:13):
I said, I almost couldn't get up this morning, which
is so surprising to me.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
And what did you say?

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Me too?

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Me too?

Speaker 5 (01:19):
Thank God, it's not just me. It's kind of like
so it's been a lag for me all week. I
am ready to be this to me my normal again.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
I don't know if you've noticed, but this week, and
I never do this, but first thing when I walk in,
before I've even started this week, I'm making a pot
of coffee.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Oh you're the one.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
I'm not the one who usually make coffee. I usually
and if I do, I wait, awhile do I get adjusted?
But I've been walking in coffee on so I can
get it in ten minutes.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Sam, You know how I knew somebody and knew was
making coffee first thing in the morning.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Oh what cat?

Speaker 5 (01:47):
You're leaving the cabinets wide open. Oh, such a dude
thing to do.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
When you're done, you can ask Bailey about this one
the time when I made it without putting the filter in.
Oh man, there was water really yeah, I was just
sleeping through that one.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Up poured the ground here and the top slid it in,
turned it on, and Bailey comes and goes.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
What idiot?

Speaker 5 (02:10):
Okay, not just lag time here Friday, but it's grateful
Friday today. You know, just admitting what you're grateful for.
Big things in your life or even little ones, make
a big difference. So we want to hear from you today.
Eight seven seven three one zero for MSJ.

Speaker 7 (02:24):
Coming up, you're a Hollywood Center.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
First one of the morning. Sesame Street is coming again
in a big way to the big screen.

Speaker 7 (02:35):
Jody's Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
You know Sesame Street is now owned by HBO, right
you guys.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I did not know that. I don't know that it
changes HB.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
And then now WarnerMedia is going to make a Sesame
Street movie musical. Are you ready for that? And are
you ready for who it's going to start? Probably more
than this person is one person has over Yes, Oscar, Yes,
and yes, but this is Zezy Academy Award winning actress
who is signed on to star in it as the lead.

(03:07):
One of your favorites, Murphy and I agree, Anne Hathaway, No.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I knew you were going to say that. I've not
even heard this story, and I knew that she would
be the one.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I love.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
It makes sense so movie musicals, and we know that
she's got the chops to sing. Okay, she's sang and
the miss and then that's that's her Academy Award.

Speaker 7 (03:23):
I dream to dream time.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Well, hopefully she'll kick the tempo up.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
A notch movie didn't do any kind of song. I
love that.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
So anyway, the new film coming with it's going to
be a partner with MGM Studios. They'll start shooting in
June with her, probably some other famous people jumping in.
We don't have you know, confirmation on that, but it'll
be in theaters. It'll take a while. Twenty twenty one.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Hump Muppets don't work as fast as everybody else. Yeah,
And I remember when they did the Muppet Muppet movies.
They had a lot of cameos in that one, So
I wonder if they're gonna pull the same trick here
with the Sesame Street Muppets.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Why not?

Speaker 5 (04:00):
But that's really something that everybody in the family can watch.
If you're young at hard or if you're just young
and you're a kid. This is a really at movie
for everybody, and we don't get a lot of those.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Do you ever relate yourself to one of the muppets
on Sesame Street? Because I always related myself to Oscar.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
The Grouch of course, Sam, that makes a lot of figure. Huh,
I never did. That's so funny.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yeah, but that's a positive thing because he's actually a
he's a nice dude.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
I always thought Murphy was like a Burton Erny kind
of guy. Well, I was wondering, that's a straight laced one.
I never could choose between.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
You know, I never related myself to anybody. You have
to tell me.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Hmmm, I don't know. You're kind of almo ish.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Oh yeah, that's good.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
I look for the Sesame Street Musical movie musical two
in the on the big screen in a couple of years.
And you both have read for coming up next with Murphy,
Sam and Jody.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
So there's something you should prepare yourself for if you're
to ever walk into a restaurant and ask for a
table for one.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
I was not prepared for this. Yesterday.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
You can like us on Facebook and you'll get notifications
for new posts and Facebook Live, and you can also
subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you can have
a video too, you know, and you can enjoy. So
yesterday I decided to go to lunch by myself, which
is fine. I actually was kind of craving that because
sometimes you just need to completely disconnect, so I actually

(05:23):
find one from me. There was a lot going on,
and whenever I have an opportunity to have lunch with Jody,
I always have lunch with Jody, even though we're together
all of the long day. Yeah, but it's good. But
you know, sometimes, and I've actually become really comfortable with that,
there was a time and place where it was like

(05:43):
always kind of weird. If I would walk I would
be self conscious. You know.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
I always felt like the waiters treated you different. Whenever
you were better by yourself, they treat you better. I
mean like they're sad for you. Yeah, sad for you? Really?

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Or is that they took pity on you? Did they
like sit down and with you.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Be you thinking that yeah, yeah, that's the projection onto yourself, right.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
But so I actually did have something happened with the
hostess yesterday which I thought was just kind of interesting
and it didn't bother me, but it was funny. I
walked in, turned on the charm yeah, as I always do,
and and when I asked for a table for one
response was, oh, I'm like, no, it's okay. It's right,
it's really it's fine. See I'm married, this is my thing.

(06:28):
I'm I'm all good.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
But yeah, that place with you and I go to
lunch a lot, did they.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
She didn't recognize me. It wasn't that where's the redhead?
It was just kind of funny. And then I was like, no,
look it's okay. And I actually, I really I can't tell.
I soaked up. I felt at peace. It's quiet, my
lunch and just kind of being, you know, disconnected before
I didn't even check my email or anything.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
You know, that's good.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
I have my sneaky places like that when I need
to be alone and I can't go home and i'm
you know, I have places I like to go and
sit and be was there.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Finger pointing like you looked over and saw the hostess
and ways spering pointing.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
It eating by himself the appetizer.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
But it is funny, I mean what Sam was, whether
Sam was projecting or not, there is that's that's the
internal reaction because they don't actually have tables for one, No,
except for at the bar.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I suppose.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
And when they ask you that, you're expecting someone else.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
No, And is it a coincidence that when you ask
for a table for one, they want to seat you
at the bar first, just wondering.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
No, because that's where they can sit you for one.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
Yeah, Sam has music news.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
We've got a new documentary that's coming got to tell
you about. It's dishing lots of dirt on the boy bands,
including in Sync and the Backstreet Boys.

Speaker 7 (07:41):
Sam's got music news.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
There's a new documentary coming out called The boy Band
Con The Lou Pearlman Story, and it does include in
Sync and Backstreet Boys.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
Among others, even back in the day when they were
hot hot hots. I remember the whole Lou Pearlman's you know,
mystique and mystery, like is he taking advantage of them?

Speaker 4 (08:02):
Is he?

Speaker 7 (08:03):
Is he?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (08:04):
So?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Is the guy that put these bands together? He basically
would manufacture mike right.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Yeah, Well, apparently he was doing more than that. He
was putting the bands together, and then down the road
he created some Ponzi schemes and ripped people off and
wound up, Oh I forgot about it. Wound up in prison.
And of course this is a really cool documentary. It's
gonna be on YouTube coming up April to third. But
they talked to J. C. Chasse, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance

(08:29):
Bass from en Sync. They talked to Aj McClain from Backstreet,
Aaron Carter, all the boy band stars. Here's a little clip.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
You saw almost ten million albums.

Speaker 8 (08:37):
I could have made this much working full time at Starbucks.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Something isn't adding up.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
Lou's getting paid, pro voters are getting paid. The deeper
they dug, the worse it got.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Yeah, yeah, they we're talking to. There's one scene where
Lance Bassy is we opened up our first check, like yeah,
what is this and how they were all like, where's
the money going? Who's making the money If we're not
making the money and we're working our butts off, Wow.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
That happened at TLC. Also just saying.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
April third on YouTube for that one. Alicia Keys is
coming out with a memoir.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yay.

It's called More Myself. It's coming out in November of
this year, and she describes it as a three hundred
and sixty degree perspective on her life from childhood and
Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan all the way up to winning Grammys. Yeah,
and here's what's kind of cool too. It's the first
book that's going to be published by Oprah. Oprah's got
her own imprint now called an Oprah book. That's a
publishing house, and so it'll be the first Oprah book

(09:29):
that is published.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
My goodness, I.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Wonder which book Oprah is going to pick for the
book club. I, Jody, here's one for you. There's a
movie coming out in April called Breakthrough, and it's about
a mom who's love and faith in the face of
impossible odds lift her family up. The soundtrack is going

Speaker 8 (11:36):
Thank you guys day too.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
So you're okay?

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yeah, new perspective on life. You know, I've never been
in a bad knock on wood. I've never been in
a bad car accident. I've only been in like oops,
vendor benders that you know you have it and you're like,
this is going to suck a month away from my
life with you know which I've been lucky, like inconvenienced
and and expense. But even after those little kind of

(12:02):
fender benders, it changes you. You think everybody's about to hit
you in a car or something like that. So I
cannot imagine how different it must be to have to
walk away from something that was almost fatal.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, our friend crazy, our friend Stewart was in an
accident and I guess he's had pins in his legs
and that braced because he shattered almost an entire leg.
I know that sounds awful to say it that way.
It doesn't make you shudder when you hear that. Yeah,
but you know he's for the better part of a
year and a half. I think you know, was connected
up on that and they were having to adjust bands.
It was painful recovery.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, Yeah, life changing stuff.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
Oh I gotta throw mine am Yes, Sam, I'm grateful
you said, small packages seven pound thirteen ounce packages. Yeah,
my new grandson, Hollis Hollis Robert big one.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
That should be your Friday favorite. Sam.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Oh oh, yeah, that's it is actually coming up. You
get to hear Hollis for the first time.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, I jump in anytime.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Grateful Friday eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ.

Speaker 7 (12:58):
Judy's Hollywood Outside.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Here's the update on end Becky today.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
I know you want it from Full House the actress
Laurie Laughlin. Soon we'll go out, so we'll go back
to Felicity Huffman because that's a crazy story too with
her husband William H.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Macy.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
But no from the college cheating scandal, entrance exam cheating
scandal or just college entrance. Lori Laughlin, by the way,
has been working. Maybe you have seen her a lot
on television. Maybe you have, but she's like to go
to actress and the most loved actress over at the
Hallmark channel.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Hallmark.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
In fact, she was in Canada shooting another Hallmark movie
when they started looking for and they.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Came and got her.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
When they went to her house to say, hey, you
know you got to come in to the Big House.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
That's why she flew back and turned herself in, right.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
So they've dropped her following her arrests for dealing with this,
for being a part of this scandal, because they just
can't afford to, you know, they've dropped her for now
and they're very The only statement they woulds they're very
saddened by the allegations and they have somebody, they have
so many ties with her. One of her daughters also
is already kind of feeling the the pain of it.

(14:11):
I'm Olivia Jade, the one who had all the social
media influencer YouTube channel, and.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
She had a deal.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
She was dropped by Sephora, she had a makeup deal,
and she was dropped.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
BYLFA right away.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
It's it's it bothers me a little bit for her
to be dropped because we don't know what those kids knew.
Those kids were miners when this happened, right when, and
those kids may not have known at all, or it
could have been mom, please do whatever you have to
do to get me in. Well consider it telling.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
In her case, it was allegedly that she got the
kids in on the premise that they are going to
be on the crew team recruits and they don't even
do that. You're right, I would think there was some
discussion between parents, or at least mom, because I have
William H. Macy's out of this one, between mom and
the kids to say, here's a deal as play it up.

(14:59):
And that was Sam's impression, by the way, that was
all alleged. At this point.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
It's going to happen. Eventually.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
There will be a whole movie about all of this,
because it's so unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
And I know we could get to play Lori Laughlin.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Stop it all right quickly.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
I'm the big Facebook outage from this week, Facebook, Messenger,
Instagram and what's app all suffered an outage.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
What was it Wednesday? And it was all day and night.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Facebook finally explained says, look, it was a change to
a server configurate configuration that and you know it calls
all these other cascading problems. It was down for like
eight hours. All those four big apps everything's back.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
They throw all that out there, and so nobody questions it.

Speaker 7 (15:40):
Okay, Murphy, Sam and Jody, you are a Hollywood insider.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Friday, and we brought you to be a part of
the party here eight seven seven three one zero for MSJ.
You can call or you can text.

Speaker 5 (15:59):
Yeah, coming up more of your grateful Friday calls, letting
us know you know what little and big things you
are grateful for. We'll do that on the way. You know,
We've tried to break it down for you as much
as possible every day this week in the Hollywood Outsider
about this whole college entrance exam cheating scandal, which is
unbelievable to me with.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
All the Hollywood type it is, well.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Not all, there's like fifty or more.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Than confusing to me, and I'm still the whole Laurie
Laughlin thing. I'm like, Wow, that's a perfect example of
where you take somebody who's so squeaky clean, sweet on
full house and think that's impossible. There's no way.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
If you think that, because you think another well, you're
talking about incredibly wealthy people, and I feel like there's
a possibility. There's probably a certain percentage of her brain
that that's the way you get things done in her world.
Paying for things is how you get things done. Yeah,
she probably knew on some level this is not the

(16:54):
best way. But if that's her way of you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
This was just on a grander scale, it's much grander.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
And there's also the thing about we all want certain
things for our children, we all do, but if you
do it for them, they earn nothing. Like you know,
college has to be earned, getting into college the day
to day it just has to be earned.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
And also from what we've been reading, all alleged about
her situation getting both daughters in on a crew a
rowing scholarship and they don't even row.

Speaker 8 (17:25):
I know.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
That's like, okay, you know you're doing wrong when you're
doing that.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
I know.

Speaker 9 (17:29):
So.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
And we're talking about Yale and Stanford and Georgetown, I mean,
not just USC. It's bigger. It's bigger than that. And
the reason I bring it up again is the unbelievable
way that this came down. Do you know how it
happened that the Feds even figured out there was something
walking going on in the first place? You heard about
this by accident. They were working on a completely Laurie

(17:52):
Laughlin's probably like really, they were there working on something
completely unrelated, like a fraud case, and they got a
tip about a four hundred thousand dollars bribe of a
coach at Yale, and then the coach was contacted and
everything else, the chips all started falling from there, So.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
It's kind of like pulling on a thread on a sweater.
All just starts to come apart. Huh, and then you're naked.

Speaker 7 (18:15):
Kill me up next. Murphy Salmon Jody's Friday Favorite.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Sam, You're up.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
I have the sweetest sound in the world. And yes
it does involve my grandson.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Fun every morning and fun every day later in the
day with the Murphy Salmon Joe after the show podcast,
what did I say, Murphy Salmon Jody.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
I'm so hurt the Murphy Salmon Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
I left my Jody out of that.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
I should not have Murphy Salmon Jody after the show podcast.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Daylight Saving Time really did knock you up?

Speaker 1 (18:49):
You mean knock knock me out?

Speaker 3 (18:53):
I should keep my mouth in this day.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
To all right, So we do go around the table
and we do our Friday favorites, and Sam's Friday favorite.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
All right, my Friday favorite comes in. Well, I mean,
overall this week it's been great. My new grandson, yes,
Hollis Robert. I've gotten to see him three or four
days this week. He I did smell him, and he
does smell like a baby does smell. Ever, I mean
a clean baby, not a you know, poopy paper baby.

(19:22):
But the first time I visited him in the hospital,
you know, when I got to hold him, I was
able to calm him down from crying. Baby whisperer, yeah,
the baby whisper. And then the next time I got
him to hold him was at Sammy and Melissa's house
when they went home, and I couldn't shut him up
for anything. He was crying. Now, the funny thing is
his cry. It's really cute to me. It's not one

(19:43):
of these full blown it's just a little listen to it.
Look he's settling down.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, that's a little bitty Yeah. Good thing is you
give it a a few weeks, that'll be a louder cry.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
And you're so beautiful.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
I'm glad you say that, Murphy, because that's some of
the stuff that I've been trying to hold in and
not say when I'm in front of sam and Melissa.
I just give it a week. Ye sorry, you know
that kind of stuff. And I'm trying to hold in
all of my sure parental advice unless it's something I
know really works and it would really be helpful because
they're getting bombarded at as new parents from everybody.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yes they are, Yes they are. And I will tell
you this.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
I don't know how she feels the mom Melissa, but
the cry as long as as long as it's sweet,
it's probably fine. I think I heard her laughing in
the background. But the minute he sounds distressed, her heart
rate is yack and she's like, oh, what can I do?

Speaker 3 (20:40):
What can I do?

Speaker 9 (20:41):
It?

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Full mode? Right?

Speaker 3 (20:43):

It's abous. But I am grateful for my children, every
one of them. I have a beautiful daughter who's my oldest,
and my four boys and they're just amazing, responsible, respectful children,
and I'm so thankful for that. And I would also
like to say that I am thankful for my my
my fiance. He's beyond amazing. I was. I was in

(22:16):
a marriage for twenty years that wasn't very good and
I got my wonderful children from it. But this man
came into my life and he is just he's beyond amazing.
There are still good men out.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
There, nice single people.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
People.

Speaker 6 (22:31):
Hear that you guys are in that category. So yeah,
it's nice to know that that there's still some good
men out there.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Right, It's not what I hear from my single girlfriends.
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
Well, you know what, I had to go through a
couple before I found mine, But I mean it was
worth the way.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Were you looking or did it just happen?

Speaker 6 (22:50):
You know what I wasn't. I was not. I was
so discouraged with with my my marriage that had broken up,
you know, five years earlier. And then I met the
other guy and we tried it for a while and
it just it just didn't click. And then I was
of the blue. I met this guy and it was
just like a light turned on and it's been been amazing.
He's just awesome.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
So congrats for that.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Thank you so much, and I'm thankful for you guys
for hitting me through the day. I'm kind of said,

Speaker 6 (23:22):
Yep, Oh, I know, I know. You guys are great.
Thanks all that you do.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
I thank you, Thank you, Christy.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
It's grateful Friday.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Give us a call anytime, jump in any reason eight
seven seven three one zero for ms J.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Coming up next, Murphy.

Speaker 7 (23:37):
Salmon Jody's Friday favorite Joy, You're up.

Speaker 9 (23:40):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
This is something fun, positive that we all can relate
to from entertainment this week, But it doesn't have anything
to do with the cheating scandal. Sorry guys, but it's next.

Speaker 7 (23:51):
Murphy Salmon Jody.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
All right, Jody, you were up?

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (23:54):
Guys.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
You know, a couple weeks ago, when we first saw
the Will Smith as Genie from the new Aladdin movie,
We're all a little bit flipped out because he was
big and blue and cgi and it's like, who and
what is this?

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Why did they do that?

Speaker 2 (24:05):
That didn't bother me as much as a brother, but
I guess I heard everybody freaking out first, and so
when I watched, I'm like, okay, do.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
You worry about something ju about stupid stuff like this?
But anyway, so it's like, oh my god, you've ruined
this for me and it hasn't even started yet. Then
this week we got the new full trailer with I'm
so relieved. Most of the movie Will Smith is not
big and crazy and blue. Only when he first comes
out of.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
The Lamb's wish I'm kidding, what is wow? You never
had a friend like me?

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Net friend like me is super important to me too.
There is no Aladdin without friend like me.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
And so it's it's Will Smith kind of rap and
singing to friend like me.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
I'm ready for it. I'm welcome.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
You want to hear his take on that whole song, right,
because I'm sure it's going to be fresh Prince at
all of that.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
I do want you to know that.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
Will Smith tweeted something out this week about look, thank
you for all the love, about my Genie not being
blue the whole time and being more me And yes,
I know I have a lot of big shoes to fill.
He's not trying to fill Robin William's shoes. He's just
trying to do his own version of Genie. The other
thing we learned about it from the new trailer this
week from Disney is that this movie is not just funny.
It does have a lot of heart.

Speaker 7 (25:23):
Hey, can you make me a Prince? There is a
lot of gray area in Make Me a Prince?

Speaker 4 (25:29):
I could just thank you a prince.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Oh no, it's made a prince affair a.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Prince on the outside.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
But I didn't change anything on the inside.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
See if you remember, the genie made us laugh a
lot in that animated version, but he also made us
feel a lot. They do, and so Will Smith can
do that and has done that. And the other thing
that a lot of fans are super excited about this
week is that in this trailer, which you got to
watch the whole thing, the whole two minutes of it,
you'll be excited for this live action is that some

(26:02):
songs that meant a lot to people are back in
the movie and they're not messed with too much.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Birthday you hear that.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
Yeah, that's when Aladdin says, give me your hand, do
you trust me? And they get on the magic carpet.
I mean, oh my gosh. And they did not mess
up a whole new world too much.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
They added some new music. Alan Mank in the original
musical Guy, he partnered up with the guys from La
La Land that wrote the music to the best. There's
gonna be a couple of new songs written by them.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
Aladdin Live Action in theaters May twenty fourth, Judy's Friday favorite.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
All Right coming up next? Somebody Specials turn in thirty
this year. That's next so somebody is celebrating a birthday
to day. I guess it's not actually a person. You
could call this his baby, But there actually is. We
joke about this all the time. There actually is an
inventor of the World Wide Web. You know that I
invented the Internet, the Internet itself. There was somebody whose

(27:02):
concepts started that, sure, and he's from England. He was
working in Switzerland, Switzerland for a company.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
And why you mean Americans didn't invent the Internet? No,
we just made it better.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Okay? Is that what you think?

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Is that what we do?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
The guy his name is Tim Berners Lee Tim, and
we'll just call him by his first name. So I
mean Tim's biggest concern today, Well, actually i'll show you
where he was biggest concern in just a minute. But
all he was trying to do was invent something to
make his office better. He wasn't trying to do anything
to you know, make the world connected. Yeah, he just
saw inefficiencies at work. So he went to his boss

(27:38):
and he said, look, you know, we try this. Everybody
can pull up the same page as he was going on.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
I said to me, having to walk to this computer
in that computer to figure stuff out.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
And they'll all be connected together. And so you know,
here we are thirty years later now, and I mean
none of us could imagine living in a world without
the Internet because it's every That's how our smartphones are connected,
it's how you know, we communicate, it's everything.

Speaker 5 (27:57):
Although on those over really over stimulus to days, you
dream of that. You dream of the less connectedness, which
is self regulation. You have to yeah, you don't have
to connect, have to regulate yourself.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
What's weird to me is I mean at thirty years,
that's a pretty short time frame, you know what I mean?
You realize how new, compared to every other technology, the
Internet still really is.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
When it was new, it was something that my grandmother whispered.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Well, I remember first having to decide do I go
with compu server or America Online? You know which am
I going to pick?

Speaker 4 (28:31):
How many years was the Internet or the world Wide
Web around before we even got into AOL and compu
serve was like five.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Because computers actually weren't fast enough to do the things
that we do today on the World Wide Web.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
It is a famous conversation that Katie Kerrik and Briant
Gumble had on The Today Show about.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
What is this Internet thing?

Speaker 1 (28:50):
In fact?

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Ben, yeah, Internet is that massive computer network, the one
that's becoming really big now computer.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
Billboard, but several universities and everything all joined together.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
And others can access it.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
One guys, it's getting bigger.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
This Internet thing is probably going to take off everybody.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
And they're hung up on how to you know, access
it online?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
And now it's thirty years old, Happy birthday, Worldwide.

Speaker 7 (29:21):
Web Jodie's Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
You know Sesame Street is now owned by HBO, right,
you guys.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
I did not know that. I don't know that it
changes h.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
And then now WarnerMedia is going to make a Sesame
Street movie musical.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Are you ready for that? And are you ready for
who it's going to star?

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Probably more than this person is one persons, Yes, yes,
and yes, but this is easy. Academy Award winning actress
who is signed on to star in it as the
lead one of your favorites, Murphy and I agree, Ann Hathaway.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
No, I knew you were going to say that. I've
not even heard this story, and I knew that she
would be the one.

Speaker 8 (30:03):
I love.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
It makes sense so movie musical, and we know that
she's got the chops to sing. Okay, she's sang and
they miss and then that's that's her Academy Award.

Speaker 7 (30:11):
I dream to dream Time.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Hopefully she'll kick the tempo up and not Street Movie
do any.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Kind of song. I love that.

Speaker 5 (30:21):
So anyway, the new film coming with it's going to
be a partner with MGM Studios. They'll start shooting in
June with her, probably some other famous people jumping in.
We don't have you know, confirmation on that, but it'll
be in theaters. It'll take a while twenty twenty one.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Mump Muppets don't work as fast as everybody else. Yeah,
And I remember when they did the Muppet Muppet movies.
They had a lot of cameos in that one, So
I wonder if they're gonna pull the same trick here
with the Sesame Street Muppets.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Why not?

Speaker 5 (30:48):
But that's really something that everybody in the family can watch,
if you're young at hard or if you're just young
and you're a kid. This is a really a movie
for everybody, and we don't get a lot of those.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Do you ever relate yourself to one of the muppets
on Sesame Street? Because I always related myself to Oscar
the Grouch.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Of course, Sam, that makes a lot of figure. Huh,
I never did. That's so funny.

Speaker 5 (31:09):
Yeah, but that's a positive thing because he's actually a
he's a nice dude.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
I always thought Murphy was like a Burton, earny kind
of guy. Well, I was wondering that a straight laced one.
I never could choose between.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
You know, I never related myself to anybody. You have
to tell me.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
Hmmm, I don't know. You're kind of almo ish.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Oh yeah, that's good.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
All right.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
Look for the Sesame Street musical movie musical too in
the on the big screen in a couple of years.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
And you both have read fur up to date.

Speaker 7 (31:37):
With Judy's Hollywood Outsider, and we hope.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
You have a simply fantastically wonderful Friday.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
That's how most Mary Poppins.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
And I'm having trouble get to getting through this week,
as you can tell.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Just what the words me too, me too, okay.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
You know, and we love to hear from you anytime
eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ. And sometimes
we miss you.

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Yeah, and when we do, well, let's check the voicemail, guys,
Let's dig into the twenty four hour messages Murphy, Sam
and Judy twenty more voicemail.

Speaker 10 (32:07):
Hey guys, I don't know if y'all will still be
talking about waking up and not snoozing anymore. But I
found a trick for me that helps a lot, and
it's I put one of those cheap spray bottles next
to our bed that you can get the travel section
at Walmart or wherever, and I spray my face with
that thing a couple times and it wakes me right up.
I wanted to share that trick.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
If you have a great day, love you, thank you
very much for the voicemail, and thank you well.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
You know, whatever works, because it's super important. You get
nothing in life if you don't start and get up
and do.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
You know, yeah, you know what I mean. Maybe as
long as the room's not too cold, that's probably okay.
The colder the water, but maybe that's what works too.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Our Phoebe is a fan, our daughter Phoebe of spraying
herself in the face with like rose water or just
make up waters, you know, for moisturization or whatnot. And
she also taught me the makeup trick of setting spray.
And I can tell you what you said. It after
you put your makeup on, you go and it just

(33:08):
keep makes it last long. It's not really just is
it just water. I don't know what it is. It's
probably some chemical' spraying on my face everything. But what
I'm saying is I can tell you that it does work.
And she I got one when we were shopping together,
and when I remember, I set it my makeup. It's
hard to do. It's hard to spray yourself in the

(33:29):
face with something.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
I'm like, you just spraying and walking into it?

Speaker 3 (33:34):
No, Martha, I'm not thoughts. You're right.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Do you skip through it or walk through it?

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Sometimes when when I put on I don't want to
call it after shave cologne. Yeah, that's what I Instead
of just spraying on, I'll spray it and you walk
through it.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, yeah, but then you waste half of it in
the room.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
It's true. Anyway, Look, look, whatever works for you to
get up. I'm four.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
That's a cool and thank you for leaving us a voicemail.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Give us a call anytime eight seven seven three one
zero four M S. J.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
Sam. I need to hear that baby cry again. Your
grandson hollis.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Okay, Well I got him right here. Oh haha, come here, Hollis,
step up.

Speaker 5 (34:16):
That's your Friday favorite is that you got to spend
some time with him and you there was a video
being shot of him and he started to cry.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Yeah, Sammy shot a video. I was sitting in the
chair in one of the chairs at their house and
Sammy shot it because he wanted proof that, you know,
Pops could calm the baby down. Unfortunately, pressure in this
institute work, Pops did not calm the baby down.

Speaker 7 (34:39):
Look he's settling down.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
But his cries go, that's clean.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
It's pretty lame.

Speaker 5 (34:44):
Yeah, it's pretty mild, and it's not even a very
distressed almost like hey, I'm here, Pops.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Almost sounds like a cat, you know those cats.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
That that's the I've been around for a week cry.
It actually becomes a lot more powerful and a lot louder.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
And wanted to become more powerful, obviously, but that when
that one is just my hormones are going crazy listening
to that.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Yeah, it's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
When they get to the get this diaper off of
me and I'm hungry cry, then they'll know a cry.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
So are you going back over today to see what's
the what's the do you have a schedule.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
Are you coming over too much? Or you we come
every minute?

Speaker 1 (35:18):
I'm here again?

Speaker 4 (35:19):
That's the thing. I don't want to do that. I
don't want to come over. So yesterday I texted in
advance like, hey, do you guys need anything I can stop?
I can bring it by right now. We're good, Okay, fine,
And I'm fine with that because I don't want to
just every day. Hey can I come over again today?

Speaker 9 (35:34):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (35:34):
Can I come over again today? Because you know it's me,
you know, his mom that side and her dad and
mom and their spouses and sisters and brothers, a lot,
all this stuff. So yeah, I just want to go
at their pace.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, does anybody else have the magic freezer like you
or not? With all the pre prepared meals.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
They did say that they were, you know that thing
where you can go online and set up a delivery schedule.
They they were going to set one of those up. Okay,
but I don't need that.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Here, here's all the food from you know what yesterday
and our after the show podcast. Everybody else had to
scram Murphy has all these important things to do. So
it's Sam and I. We just discussed that all these little, nice,
little things you're balancing as a new grandfather, meaning being
there but not You're trying not to give too much advice.

(36:21):
It's lovely trying to self regulate. And if you miss
that conversation, check it out in our after the show
podcast from yesterday.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
Another reason I didn't go over yesterday too is they
brought their dog back home, Django, so he was kind
of being introduced to the baby.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
How did that go?

Speaker 4 (36:36):
What's this? I apparently it went well because I haven't
heard the Jango's on the street.

Speaker 7 (36:40):
Good Judy's Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
Give you the update on Aunt Becky actress Lorie Laughlin.
By the way, you're never going to see hers or
Philicity Huffman's mugshots. Something in the law about what the
kind of thing they're being accused of. There's no need
for it for that to become public. So it's just
something in the fine print.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Trust me, we'll see it. You saywhere or something.

Speaker 5 (37:04):
I don't see it anyway. The word today for actress
LORI laugh when who played Aunt Becky. She's been dropped
by the Hallmark Channel and she was their number one
go to actress, like their most coveted actress for these
marriage every believe movies and TV shows. She was shooting
a movie with them when the FED showed up at
our house, going, Aunt.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Becky, let's go.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
All that they will say is they are saddened by
the allegations and they have to sever their ties with
her for now. One of her daughters, Olivia, the one
who was the social media influencer, also lost her endorsement
deal with Sephora.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
That's the update at this time.

Speaker 7 (37:39):
Murphy, Sam, and Jody, you are a Hollywood insider.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
So I figured I would share with both of you
right now that you know. We're almost at the end
of the show here, and I think I'm finally awake today.
I think I have time, And Murphy, I think I
have finally gotten past the whole daylight saving time one
hour threw me off for the whole week thing.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Am I a little late here?

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (38:00):
I feel that way too, though, But that's all. That's
also true in life. You have moments where you're foggy
when you need to be sharp, and then sometimes you're
sharp for no reason.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
In carbol By yourself like really, well.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I'm just one of those that when I'm when I'm not,
when I don't have what you know, A couple of
my friends call their mojo.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
You know.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
When I don't have that, I'm frustrated because I don't
like I don't like not having energy. I don't like
being down. I don't I mean, I like the man
get in and do my thing.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Of course he doesn't.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
What is your mojo?

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Mar yeah? And what friends are? Your friends are using
old slang?

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Are they mojo?

Speaker 4 (38:34):
Okay? Is your mojo coffee?

Speaker 2 (38:36):
I've hit my stride. I mean, it can be, but
I just I don't know how to explain it. It's
an internal feeling. It's a light, and it's it's an energy.
It's you know, am I getting me sound a little
too superficial?

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Energy? Energy is everything. Energy is everything it.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Is, and so I mean, that's what I'm feeling.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Now.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Now that the weekend the show is almost.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
Well, you can bring it to the after the show podcast.
