about this.

This is trending, it is hot, it is viral. It's
a none Girl Summer. N Un None, a viral podcast
hosted by Dominican Sisters, has inspired TikTok's latest feel good movement,
It's a feel good Friday none girl Summer. Despite the name,
it's not really about becoming a nun. Instead, women are
embracing a simple, less stressful approach to life focused on friendship, community, hobbies,

(01:57):
finding joy in everyday moments. It's like stripping away all
the stuff and just being happy with the simple things
like a nun would do. So it's a nun girl
Summer like that? Yeah, I like that too. The trend
took off after clips from the Sisters podcast highlighted their
upbeat outlook and close knit community and I love this.

you know hey, and Earling Holland ghosted him, so he
never he never hit him back. Tom Holland said, Wow,

(02:41):

like that because it made me go like, I guess
I'm nobody. But now Holland has reached out to Spider
Man saying, dinner invite accepted. You just named the place. Oh,
I love him. And you know his hair tie has
gone viral is by a Korean company that made that
little hair tie that he wore all throughout the World

(03:03):
Cup games and it's sold out almost everywhere. But isn't
that amazing that just a little thing like that has
become a big deal.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Well, when you think about the strength of that little hairtie,
no wonder people want it, no kidding.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
It stays in through everything you the whole match. I
forget it, Holland. Isn't just about scoring goals. It's about
living in the moment.

isn't an assignment. It's an assignment awesignment. Yeah, okay, So
this weekend, as we go forth into the world, find
one thing that makes you stop and think, wow, whoa
look at that?

Speaker 4 (05:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
It could be like a huge old tree. I love
seeing planes land. I lived not too far from Bourbona Airport.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Just in El Segundo. The other day, Yeah, and Kavin
was picking up his surfboard at a friend's house and
there were people sitting because it was kind of like
a little on a hill. Yeah, sitting watching at a
picnic table on the street, watching planes land. See that's
where we're going with this hack.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
They're doing this. It could be like a hummingbird hovering
in place. We have one that just comes outside of
our little kitchen window every day. Just watch that hummingbird.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
I got one. Yes, when my squirrel, Stanley jumps off
the tree to get his walnut from me, he lands
in the spider man pose with one arm up oh yes,
and one down, and I'm like, how did you even know?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
It's incredible?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Beautiful? Then?

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Also, do you guys ever just stop and think about
the fact that whales are just out there right now?

Speaker 8 (06:39):
Not really, but yeah, it's crazy Anyways, here a sie.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Here's the science.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Researchers say experiencing AWE in any form puts our attention
away from our own little problems and makes us feel
connected to something bigger. One study finds that people who
experience AWE in their daily lives report less stress, fewer
physical symptoms, greater well being.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
And this is what those people.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
In el Segunda we're doing. There's a new trend of
people taking and taking their kids on all walks.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Oh, that's like a great idea.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Ten to fifteen minute all walks. So your your entire
intent for that walk is to find something that inspires all.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
This is fantastic. Thanks.

Speaker 4 (07:26):

Was pregnant after forty five years.

when you're streaming us on the iHeart app where you
can call us at eight hundred nine kost. I have
a feel good for you guys. Oh, let's do it
all right. So Ryan has a major crush on Jennifer Garner.
I do. And it's a what you watch a weekend.
Jennifer Garner stars in the five Star Weekend and it

(08:12):
is so good. It's on Peacock. It is what I
have watched. I binged the whole thing. Yeah. Jennifer Garner
is a food blogger and she tries to combat the
loss of her husband, who's a really successful doctor, by
recreating a five star weekend get away at her house
on Nantucket with three friends from different stages in her life.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
That's a cool concept.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
It's really good. Just that, you, guys, the cooking alone,
the visuals of Jennifer Garner in the kitchen, and then
the drama and the love that goes into this. It's
just it's so good again. It's the five Star Weekend.
It is on Peacock. Do yourself a favor, binge. It
with someone you love and it's startwarming. It's really really good.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
That's cool.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I got one. Okay, all right, it's it's Ride or
Die on Prime Video. Oh you familiar with this?

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (08:57):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Tavia Spencer finds out her best friend, who's played by
Hannah Wattingham, which is why I love it because I
love her and Ted Lasso.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
She's not the.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Boring forensic accountant she claims to be nib she is
secretly an international assassin. Oh, hit goes wrong. They have
to run for their lives across Europe together. So it's
part like spy thriller, part girls trip, part finding out
your best friend's lying about everything. It's funny, it's fast,
it's a little it's a little unhinged. Great for a weekend.
Ride or Die streaming now Prime Video.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Oh I love it? Okay, what do you got like?

Speaker 8 (09:26):
Yeah, I'm going over to HBO Max Life. Larry and
the Pursuit of Unhappiness. It's Larry David's new show. Of course,
you know him from being the co creator of Seinfeld,
which I love and curb your enthusiasm. Now he has
a brand new show and I love it. You guys,
I was watching this, I literally spit out my juice.
It's so funny.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
You know.

Speaker 8 (09:43):
He recreates American history scenarios and he kind of changes
it a little bit, like, you know, he adds not
saying Happy New Year after January seventh, it's too late,
or like not sharing umbrellas. You can't do that. Nobody
likes that. So, you know, it's so well done, so
very tasteful. I'm so glad he has a new project
Life Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness HBO Max.

my brothers and sisters spreading the ashes of my parents.

(12:31):
It doesn't sound like it feel good, I know, But
if you knew Mama Eileen and Daddy Dale, who were
married for sixty four years with six of us kids,
you would know that my dad put in a letter
to us that he wants their ashes mixed and we
are going to spread them at their favorite hiking and
camping spot. And so I was very incredibly sad about it,

(12:56):
and it makes me emotional to talk about it. But
I'm also so happy that my dad's wishes are being
filled that he had the foresight to write up a
letter to us about what he wants us to do
and how he wants us to feel. Yep, so that's
going to happen. Tomorrow. And it's really taken me a

(13:20):
while the process, but to turn it into a feel
good because this is what they want and they just
always wanted to be together.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
Make us a precinct on your iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
We love you to Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Host one oh three point five.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
I want to talk about The Odyssey opening today. So
it costs three hundred and seventy five million dollars to make.
Christopher Nolan spent two hundred and fifty producing it, and
then the movie company one hundred and twenty five million
to market it around the world. It's going to bring
in probably two hundred million for this opening weekend. Dropped
last night. It's a feel good Friday. I'll tell you

(18:24):
it didn't feel good for its Starmat Damon, he said
he did something that he'll never do again. He got
down to one hundred and sixty seven pounds, so he
just dieted and starved himself basically to just becoming emaciated
for his body, and he said he'll never do it again.
It was the most unhealthy thing he's ever done. Some
stars say that about putting on weight for a movie

(18:47):
role and also for losing extreme weight. He was also
away from his family for over the two week you
know maximum that they agreed.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Upon kind of their rule, their family rule.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, but are you going to see it? I want
to see it?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, I will. It's the run time did kind of
pop my head a little bit. It's two hours fifty
two minutes of just the Shade under three. But here's
a tip, little hack for you when you're going. There's
an app called run pe, and you just type in
the movie and it tells you when you hear this
piece of dialogue, that's your best chance to run.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Out a little scheduler for you. Yeah, I really want
to see it. I'm excited for the popcorn buckets. There's
an Imax bucket. It's an Imax camera, and then there's
also the horse like the Trojan horse, and the belly
holds the popcorn of the horse, and I just think
it's I love big movies and this is going to
be the biggest of the year, like they're saying Christopher

(19:40):
Nolan is an A list Hollywood star as a director. Well,
Matt Damon got lost in this one, and he said
it's okay because most of his iconic films what happens
to Matt Damon, he gets lost, Interstellar, The Martians, Saving
Private Rhyne, and now The Odyssey all involved Matt Damon

(20:00):
getting lost.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
I don't know somebody else pointed that out to me,
but I figure, like those movies that you just mentioned
are like, I'm as proud of those as anything, you know,
So I'm happy if they keep losing me if that's
if that's the outcome.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
It's the l and K Morning Show because she made
your fram one you doo post one oh three point five.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Feel good Friday with the Lank Morning Show. I figured
it out. I figured it out yesterday, you guys. I
figured out one of the reasons I was attracted to
my husband is because he's childlike in his behavior a lot,
and so was my dad. My dad just loved goofing
off like my friends would come over. We had the
big old English sheep dog and he'd put peanuts between

(20:42):
their toes. And my dog would eat the peanuts out
between their toes.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I mean they were just like he was just always
playing pranks and stuff like that. Yeah, of course they
were like willing to do it. But I'm just mean,
my dad was always thinking of that stuff. So yesterday,
you know, when I get home, there's Amazon packages that
come to the house pretty frequently, pretty frequently, and this
one had my name on it. So of course it

(21:08):
was a big box. I think think double shoe box ize, right,
So I open it up and, uh, well, I'm just
gonna play you the video. I took a video. Just
got home and I got a big package from obviously

(21:29):
we know it's this vibe and it's moving you guys.
It was. It was shaking and laughing and he did
it just to freak me out. And it was the
it's the giggle Maximo because he knows I love. Yeah.
I just thought that was good. I don't know, I
don't know it's how to feel good. I don't know.
I thought it seems day day.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
To Ellen k Street, it's.
