Speaker 3: with that is everyone you know severe storm pattern? Hold
Speaker 3: up to some thunder this morning, do you guys? Gellow
Speaker 3: that thunder and rain and lightning? Now, yes, we did
Speaker 3: sleep through it? Or what I did?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I didn't. I didn't wake up to any of it. No, yeah,
Speaker 2: so loud? What time like six? You're in off? Are?
Speaker 2: Are you? H?
Speaker 1: Do you panic over hearing storms since you've had a
Speaker 1: giant tree ripped out of your yard?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: I don't panic? Is I'm the one that doesn't worry
Speaker 3: about things in my household? But yeah, I'm just I
Speaker 3: like to for that to not ever come up because
Speaker 3: she is the warrior about everything. She can't even drive
Speaker 3: ride in the car with me.
Speaker 1: I feel like, as you get more and more domesticated,
Speaker 1: you're kind of evolving into a handyman, kind of a
Speaker 1: badass around the house. Are you kind of the alpha
Speaker 1: of the house?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Damn, Okay, that's what I figured.
Speaker 4: I I was thinking word electric and I know how
Speaker 4: to do stuff. That's not what I was going to say.
Speaker 4: I was going to say that that was.
Speaker 1: A great skinning personation, though sounded exactly like him.
Speaker 4: What I was going to say was, hey, you forgot it.
Speaker 4: Sounds like that your your your companion. There is a female.
Speaker 2: Is that a female thing? Just being a warrior? Really?
Speaker 2: Just like, oh my god, there's a dark cloud? Should
Speaker 2: we check in with the female on our crew today? Dude?
Speaker 4: You want Ariana with an air like a I R dash.
Speaker 3: Do you, as a woman, and you're speaking for all women,
Speaker 3: believe that females worry about things too much.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're making the most of this opportunity.
Speaker 2: I would say no. I think we just are a
Speaker 2: lot more emotionally intelligent. There goes.
Speaker 4: Do you like to be stereotyped? But the guys on
Speaker 4: this show just simple yes or no.
Speaker 2: Stereotype You guys back, Okay, exactly know Christina won't press
Speaker 2: charges or hr complaint. We don't know that about Arianna.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I have a meniscus tear just from
Speaker 4: walking my dog.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I mean it hurts so bad right now.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if you got And.
Speaker 4: I've been over the other day to pick up a
Speaker 4: napkin and it took me to my knees and it
Speaker 4: took me to my torn knees.
Speaker 1: You didn't know anyone was in there with you.
Speaker 3: He also just wandered off of the hall yesterday during
Speaker 3: the show. I didn't read it rapidly walked down. He
Speaker 3: missed the whole second.
Speaker 2: He just walked up. I got the final two parts
Speaker 2: of the Today Game. Ryan were looking for his car.
Speaker 2: Jesus what I happened.
Speaker 4: To man, A tough years, tough year. Now I'm one
Speaker 4: thousand convents I need surgery.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all, we have all aged so much in this
Speaker 1: last year, really since February.
Speaker 2: God, it's been tough. Okay.
Speaker 3: So there's a story of the Wall Street Journal because
Speaker 3: a big Wall Street guy and I was checking this out,
Speaker 3: and it's a guy I wrote this article.
Speaker 2: And his premise is that nicknames are going extinct.
Speaker 3: He on his own has five kids between the age
Speaker 3: of six and eighteen, and he thought it was peculiar
Speaker 3: that none of them have been given nicknames by their friends,
Speaker 3: which I just assumed maybe your kids aren't that likable.
Speaker 3: But it's possible that that's just a thing that doesn't
Speaker 3: happen as much. So is it good old day syndrome
Speaker 3: that we have nicknames back in the day, used to
Speaker 3: you know, make up a nickname for someone? Does it
Speaker 3: happen less now? Do y'all kids have experience with this?
Speaker 1: I think it comes up in group settings, and there's
Speaker 1: less and less group settings, Like if your kids are
Speaker 1: playing sports, I think there's gonna be nicknames.
Speaker 2: That's a good theory, dude.
Speaker 1: And if your kids are just in their room on
Speaker 1: their iPhone looking at TikTok. There's less actual human interaction,
Speaker 1: and you know, nicknames really is it's like, oh, look,
Speaker 1: we got two guys named Jeff. You're your Jay money now,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like we're gonna call your last name, right,
Speaker 1: or if it's just like baseball teams like they always
Speaker 1: you know, they nicknames come out of a group of
Speaker 1: friends kicking each other in the nuts. And so if
Speaker 1: there's not big groups of people hanging out anymore, or
Speaker 1: if they are hanging out, they're all staring down at
Speaker 1: their phone, there's fewer opportunities for them to kick each
Speaker 1: other in the nuts. But now that you say this
Speaker 1: my son's friend group, he'll say the names of the people.
Speaker 1: It's he just says to all their first names, like
Speaker 1: there's no our crew had skin and meat and be it,
Speaker 1: I mean fish. Everybody had a wild ass name. And
Speaker 1: so it's like I hear him. He's just saying the
Speaker 1: first names of all the kids he goes to school,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, I guess, I guess there are
Speaker 1: no nicknames.
Speaker 2: That's interesting. I'd never really thought about that. Maybe they're dying.
Speaker 2: Did you ever have any names? Uh so yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean Cubby was my like as like young kid,
Speaker 3: and then everyone just started like, it's just like what
Speaker 3: a coach would start calling you like in junior high
Speaker 3: and the KT was I guess.
Speaker 2: Is that what the coaches called you?
Speaker 1: What were what the coaches like the most about your athleticism?
Speaker 2: I think what it was is how limber? Yeah? Oh
Speaker 2: oh man? That got dark? Are they? Did they ever
Speaker 2: get caught hot doing what coaching.
Speaker 4: Talking?
Speaker 3: You stretched before like every team pray dude, you don't
Speaker 3: don't get defensive you talking about hot coaching?
Speaker 2: Hey man, it's okay, We're with you.
Speaker 3: The other thing that this author and I said, author,
Speaker 3: he's got a clenched fist as he as he wrote
Speaker 3: this story.
Speaker 2: Uh he was coming.
Speaker 3: It could be just the day and age of uh,
Speaker 3: everything's got to be PC now. Nicknames could come across
Speaker 3: as offensive sometimes a little pumper. Yeah, so I don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't really think that's it. I think you guys
Speaker 3: nailed it. It's the group. Ben's theory here is that
Speaker 3: group activities. Now we know, did you guys have nicknames
Speaker 3: growing up?
Speaker 2: I mean I went by Benji, So that was kind
Speaker 2: of the same thing. Scubby, right, absolutely? And then skinned?
Speaker 2: Were you always skin? What did that start?
Speaker 4: Everybody called me by my last name until everybody started
Speaker 4: calling me skin by the time I was probably seventeen. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's so to be called Wade because he's like an
Speaker 4: Everybody called me Wade and uh. And also a lot
Speaker 4: of the coaches I had actually had a decent number
Speaker 4: of them had played for my dad right when my
Speaker 4: dad was a coach, So it's just.
Speaker 2: Wade, you know. It was just a lot of that.
Speaker 2: For years I was called oh what was it? For
Speaker 2: years I was called horse Dong.
Speaker 3: Why.
Speaker 2: I don't know by the coach. I don't know, because
Speaker 2: I think, uh.
Speaker 4: Hey horse dum get out here and give me twenty man.
Speaker 1: Come on the coaches, how you doing bush ups with
Speaker 1: no arms?
Speaker 3: That's the part of the nickname. If it's like two syllables.
Speaker 3: Still you don't be quick, right, Hey, horse Dong, get
Speaker 3: over here, horse Dong.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it had to do with you.
Speaker 4: Sure what horse Dungy said.
Speaker 2: Come to think of it, I think it was worst
Speaker 2: dunk even stranger who says dun who says dung?
Speaker 1: Socially, Yeah, people in Brad Paisley, Look, this is the
Speaker 1: worst show on the radio and if you're listening to it,
Speaker 1: that says a lot about you.
Speaker 2: You need to get a grip man.
Speaker 1: Coming up next, in less than four minutes, we go
Speaker 1: around the sports Next
