Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy, Sam and Jody Daily Show podcast,
which we have conveniently broken up for you into part
one and part two. So let's begin with Part one.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
One of the most important decisions you ever make as
an adult is to name your child. It is yeah,
I say, if you're pregnant and expecting, say the name.
Walk around the house saying the name, making sure it works.
Have your partner say the name back to you. Call
it out a few times, correct, because you're going to
be saying it for the rest of your life.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
In fact, scream out the first and middle name, because
that's how you're going to scream it out right.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
So funny. I've never called our daughters Murphy by their
middle name.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
No, we never have. No, And I guess this is
also a matter of if you know the sex of
the baby beforehand, then you say the name. Otherwise you're
going to be saying both names. Or you see how
both names feel so you.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Can test it out. It is an important decision. I
love it when people take their time with it. I
also like it when you know immediately. I like, you
come across it and you're like, that's it. You know,
when you know, you know I wanted to bring it
up because the emerging baby name trend for twenty twenty
five is it's called ivy league names, names like taking

(01:12):
your taking a family last name and that becoming a
baby's first name. You heard it, Brooks. You know there's
an old grandpa Brooks and then you name your boy Brooks.
It happens. It's been a trend for a while, but
they're they're saying it's more popular now. So in twenty
twenty five, you know, people who are pregnant right now
are doing ivy league names.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I guess this is better if the if the family
no longer uses that last name as a last name.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
I'm gonna say Brooks Brooks.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah that makes sense. Okay, my I have a cousin
whose dad's family name was Castin and then he has
a different name. It's a long story. He named his
son Castan, so that's his first name. It's a great name.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
And when they did that, I was like, Oh, that's fantastic, Dick,
So Cooper is another one, frasier for boys.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
My last name's North. Would that be a good one
for a first name?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I think so.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I guess Kanye did that one right.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
I think he did. That's correct, Just so you know
as well. Most popular names for this year if you
want to stay away from overly popular names, because you
might want to do that, Olivia is still very popular
for girls, such a pretty name. And for boys Noah,
very beautiful, very beautiful.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
You know when you said Ivy League, I was thinking
you were talking about the universities because I actually knew
a family, My dad knew them, actually a Bardwell family,
and so they had children Princeton Duke.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I think the reason they're called Ivy League names is
because it sounds prestigious and it sounds successful. It has
nothing to do with the kid being able to get in.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Coming up with Murphy Salmon Jody, Jody has three things
to know today at six point fifty.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Coming up next, Aaron from our Facebook page wants to
share her beautiful Christmas Eve tradition.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Send Santa your wishes in love at Murphy Salmon Jody
dot com.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
He reads and sees every single email kids, and he
will be with us on Friday. Will just a few
short days away again. Okay, so from our website, Murphy
Salmon Jody dot com. Aaron sent this in Hey, guys,
just wanted to let you all know about my Christmas
Eve traditions with my family. Okay, we always want to
hear those. We have three young children and an adult
autistic child at home. On Christmas Eve, we each open

(03:30):
a special box. It will have pajamas, a pillow, a blanket,
and their favorite snacks, a hot chocolate mug, hot chocolate,
and either a book or a movie where this is going.
Then we will sit down and read the books to
the kids and then get get on our jammies, cuddle
up with our new pillow and blanket and watch the

(03:50):
movies as a family.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's fun, I'm here to say.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Then we will. Of course, if it was you, Samy
would be like, is this a pillow and a blanket? Again?

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I would think last year.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
If you do that as a tradition, then you probably
look forward to that you know what you did, dying
to know what they look like. It's kind of like,
you know, Jo, do you give your mom a different
possum every year? For she does? It's a stuff possim.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Like bear poster.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
I got your number one.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
If you know I need to be shopping for that possum.
You just reminded me of that. It's very important I
keep that tradition up.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Glad I can be of help.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, then we will put this from Aaron continues. Then
when we will put out Santa's cookies and a trap
for Santa track so that in the morning the kids
can see where he walked.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
We also write a thank you note to our elf Lily,
and then we go to bed. This is our Christmas
Eve tradition and we love it.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Brush us.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
You know, you can send that to us all season long.
We'd like to hear what every family does differently. It's
also keep the wil Wednesday today. Keep the Wow just
a reminder to believe in yourself and remind yourself of
your wins. You have to do that for yourself in
this world. Philis said. My wow today is that I
just booked my first solo trip and it is to Italy.

(05:17):
Whoa wo bucket list. Phyllis. We are jealous and proud
of you, Phyllis. Shout out to you. Keep that wow.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Coming up next, Jody has your Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
The latest Buzz Jody's Hollywood Outsider.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Brought to you by Discover Card.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
When it comes to entertainment, I think we can all
agree that one of the toughest things to do is
to end a show where everybody's happy or anybody's happy.
And the reason I bring it up is because you
know what show is coming to an end next year,
Stranger Things on Netflix. We get our final season and

(05:55):
for all the imagination that that show has brought us
in horror and I don't know, tender moments all that,
we all feel like children watching that and we're scared
and all that. To me, it's like even Game of
Thrones couldn't do it. Seinfeld couldn't do it. No show
has ever ended in a way that made anybody feel sad.

(06:15):
There's always just hated it.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
You know.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
I wonder if it's just because you really don't want
it to end. You know what I'm saying that it's.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Not that it's hard to end. I think, yeah, nobody, Yeah,
it's it's just hard to do it in a way
to wrap things up is harder. And so David Harber,
who plays Hopper on the show, he said it again.
He did this last like early this year, and he'd
said it again, this is going to be worth the weight,
he says. He know it's ending is always tricky, but
he thinks the finale is spectacular. He says, it might

(06:44):
not be a nice neat bow. You know, it doesn't
mean that you are going to be happy or sad.
You might be a little of both, he says, but
it's going to give you satisfaction as a viewer.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Has it been three or four years since the last
season though came out?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
The last one was in twenty twenty two. This next
final season will be next year coming up.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's Today's Gift Today, and this one is for friends
or neighbors or couples.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Jodey's Gift Today. Okay, so for someone you want to gift, well,
but maybe you don't know them that well, maybe they're neighbors.
New neighbors. We have that, Yeah, we have that on
each side of us. Actually, Murphy, I still.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Think you need to bring our new neighbors pumpkin bread.
They will love that.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
You.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, let me bake it, let me shop for it. Bacon.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Okay. Well, if I said I will make the pumpkin bread,
you would.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Say no, okay, Okay, the gift it, we'll get to
make it. Take it. Which pumpkin bread is a part
of that. But right now we're not making anything. Maybe
you're like me. You don't have a lot of time
this season. You got work, you got shopping still to do,
you got a house full of company coming.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
So when you're a husband who won't make.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Bread, I'm hearing to make for you to make pumpkin bread. No.
For someone you want to gift, well, like a neighbor
or some friends or a couple, you want to give
them something really good, but you don't have time to
make it or whatever. This is good for anybody. I
will never forget the first year I was given I
was gifted this, and I had I would have never
bought it for myself, and I enjoyed it immensely. It

(08:14):
was a bottle of lemon infused olive oil, and I
was like, WHOA, what's.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
This That's interesting?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
And it was delicious. I made lemon chicken with I
just made chicken with it, and it was I would
have cooked it in olive oil anyway. And that was
my introduction into those kinds of gifts, those kinds of food,
specifically olive oils and vinegars like flavored. And now you know,
I have like ten bottles at the house. Murphy, don't

(08:42):
get me started on my pomegranate vinegar. You know, I
love it. It's a lot pomegran It's fantastic anyway. So
there's garlic infuse.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, I've had garlic olive oil that is.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
And here's another thing. If you want to up the know,
up the game a little bit, when you walk it
over the day before you bring it over, or an
hour before you bring it over, you know, buy that
wherever at a specialty shop, bring it with fresh bread
from a bakery and they can dip and have it
with bread. Right then, it's just it's a suggestion, or

(09:17):
stop at a bakery and get a fresh box of
macrons or something like that, you know what I mean.
It's a nice gift that they wouldn't necessarily buy for themselves.
But you don't have to get in the kitchen and
do it.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Right, Coming up next, Jody has three things to Know Today.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Three Things to.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Know Today, brought to you by Jewelry TV.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Number one. After a two hour hearing yesterday, it takes
two hours to figure this out, I guess and discuss
it all. But the FBI tells the House Committee on
Homeland Security they have no idea what these flying objects
are that have been reported in several states, mainly New Jersey.
All the drones and everybody wants to know what this is.
And at the end of it, it's like saying, you

(10:00):
don't know what this is, and the answer was, that's correct.
It's not an American phenomenon, though it's happening around the
world in Mexico, Vietnam, China, Argentina. These things have been
seen and they're unidentified. Number Two, when is the best
time to put up your Christmas tree? Well, if it's
an artificial anytime December first, right after Thanksgiving. But if
you ask Christmas tree growers, they say the best maintained

(10:24):
trees start losing needles and turning brown by the third week,
which makes now now is fine. If you're doing the
real tree, it'll look healthy all the way through the season.
That's the hope. If you don't have your tree up yet,
I don't and I want to. And Number three women's
basketball sensation in Indiana, Fever guard Caitlin Clark has been

(10:45):
named Time Magazine's Athlete of the Year. She was an
All Star. She made the All WNBA First Team. She
was named Rookie of the Year. She also broke records,
rookie scoring and three point records. She can really put
those three pointer up. We know, Caitlin Clark.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
You're in the note three things to Know Today.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Not just your favorite Christmas movie. We want to know
which Christmas movie means something to you. Maybe it's the same,
but we want to know what it is and why
it means something to you. Okay, So eight seven seven
three one zero four MSJ welcome to bring it in.
Bring it in and join us for that. And we
also asked on our Instagram and Facebook pages. Kira said,

(11:28):
White Christmas. My mother and I didn't always bond on much,
but we both loved that movie and I'm seeing it
on the big screen for the seventy seventieth anniversary this
coming weekend.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
No, Kira, I didn't know it was showing in some theaters,
but apparently it is seventieth anniversary.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Murphy. You and I watched that one near remember together.
We thought we were going to be this, you know,
fantastically traditional Christmas thing, and.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, but it's not bad. It's not so. The original
White Christmas was in the movie called Holiday Inn which
I've never seen that.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I think it's the same same movie.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Did this one kind of drag a little bit. It
was sweet though.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
It was on a Friday night and we were tired.
So I'm gonna just say that's why.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Is it in black and white or color?

Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's color. It's a color.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Remember it was in black and white to me? Okay,
so thank you for that, Kira Adam said, it's a
wonderful life and why it means so much to Adam,
it's such a nostalgic movie about how life never seems
fair and how sometimes a person can feel unappreciated. It

(12:38):
shows the beauty of the reality. In the end, Elf
is also funny, the funniest one ever and it makes
me laugh.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, you know, I think that's part of this back
to it's a wonderful life. It's staying power because of
that meaning, and that that's a meaning that can last
you all year long. Sure you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
The story it's supposed to be the takeaway, right, You're
supposed to It's a wonderful life yourself anytime you need
the reminder.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Says Christmas Carol with George C. Scott. Yes, also, it's
a wonderful life. They're tied at number one for her. Okay,
second is Crampis because I grew up hearing about him,
and then the Christmas Chronicles.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Oh yes, Kurt Russell's him blaws. Yeah, I'm on board
for that. Felix says. Christmas vacation is that time we
feel you feeling. Yeah, it's just the best if you
want to get away from all the sappy stuff on
the Hallmark channel. And Felix says, Mela kaliki maka right,
So look what Christmas movie means something to you? For me,

(13:36):
it was always Rudolph. Rudolph I identified with. I felt
like a misfit growing up eight seven seven three one
zero four msj.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Coming up at seven fifty. Jodi has three things to
note today, and next Sam has music News.

Speaker 3 (13:50):

five concerts that have been announced this week.

Live Tour. Okay. Also, way wait, wait, you just want
to shout out that I've seen him several times in concert,
super loud, like a rock show, and he smells good,

Speaker 3 (14:19):

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Nice, thank you, Sam Talking Stuffer.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Hello yeah true.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Billboard Magazine has decided, well, we're twenty five years, almost
twenty five years into the this New century, so let's
name the pop artist of the century. So far pop
artists Beyonce makes sense mainly for cultural impact, not just
album sales and concert tickets and all that. Taylor Swift

(15:14):
number two, Rihanna three, Drake four, and Gaga I was
number five.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
A lot of ladies on the list liking that, a.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Lot speaking of Beyonce. They're gonna have a class at
Yale next year, next semester for Beyonce called Beyonce Tradition, Culture, Theory,
and Politics, covering everything from twenty thirteen to the present.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Which is a lot's not a lot.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
It's only good for one credit though, I mean, geez,
gon'd be three credits.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
No, I mean that's not that's up to the college,
I know.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
And moving on, anybody want to take a shot at
what's going to be the number one song this year overall?

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Is it Sabrina Carpenter?

Speaker 3 (15:46):
No, I'm thinking oh, because by the way, it made
it to nineteen weeks at number one, didn't go any further,
so it's now, you know, the top song for number one.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
It feels really good.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
You know, he's a top song for the year, but
he didn't do better than Lil nause X still holds
the record.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Then right now they're tied. Oh okay, in nineteen weeks,
both of them. He was hoping for twenty. He would
have made twenty. But you know who knocked him out
this week? Well the Queen.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
She always creeps up at Christmas sudden she.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
She's number one this week. Brenda Lee is number two
and Wham Last Christmas.

I want to hear them. Yeah, I want to hear that.
And the people next to you and in front of
