So who originally didn't like their name, Ray? Will Ferrell. Well, that's not... I guess that's not his. No. So everybody knows him as Will Ferrell and he was on a Christina Applegate in Jamie Lee Sigler's podcast. Okay. And he was saying that he remembers the first week of school and the teachers would call him and his name is John. So... That's a cool name. I know. I like it. He was like, "This is like a..." You're biased a little bit, but okay. Just a little bit. Yeah, I mean... I don't have anything to say. I don't know. Yeah, so he said that when the teachers were actually doing roll call and he just remembers him being like John William Ferrell is his full name. That's a cool name. And the teacher would be like, "John Ferrell," and so he just didn't like it. Really? And so he goes by Will and I'm like, "But what's wrong with it?" Wow. So the first week of school is when he decided he just... the excruciating pain of hearing them say John Ferrell... John's a very biblical name. It's not a name. He funded up and made it Johnny Ferrell. Yeah. I don't know. But this is the first grade, and the first grade. So at that point he just changed the name of Will. He was just done with it. Wow. Yeah, I mean like his parents started calling him Will and everything. So... When I first started working here, I'll never forget that meeting. I'm sitting in this meeting with the small corporate we had here and they said, "Well, you can't use your real name. We've got to find you one." And they started shooting all these names around. And then when they came up with Johnny Magic, I hated it with a passion. Because it was a name. They said, "Look, we've got a new basketball team coming." Yeah. And your name is John and we'll call you Johnny because it makes you friendlier. Yeah. It's more fun. Yeah. And so you'll be Johnny Magic. And I'm like, "What?" And I was like, "So if I was in Charlotte, I'd be Johnny Hornet." And then they say, "Johnny Jazz?" "Johnny Heat." "Johnny Heat." "Johnny Heat." That's good. And I hated it. I hated it. See, I always think of you as Batman and Bruce Wayne. John, that's the series. That's right. But when you talk about jokes and stuff, it's Johnny. Johnny. That's what they say. Yeah. John does seem very serious. Yeah, that's what they say. Johnny would be... And I'll never forget. They started high-fiving each other. And they were in the room. And I just walked out. And was like, "Damn." They were high-fiving each other. We got... We named it. You know, corporate types are, you know, they got a great idea. Yes. Yo. We nailed that one. And I walked out of the room going, "Damn." This is stupid. Now here we go. I love... anybody hate their name? I don't love my middle name. I don't mind my first name. It's just boring. Like, it's not exciting. What is it? My middle name is Paul. I don't like it. Oh, that's... I've never heard you say that. No, it's... It's... It's somebody in my family of importance. I don't know. I don't know anybody in my family. But that's where I came from. You could be one of the Beatles members. Ryan Paul. Ryan Paul. Right? Yeah. I don't like it. Yeah. I never did like it. He hired me, actually hated Sandra. Really? I don't know why. He was like, "I don't... He's like, "I don't know if you should go by Sandra." In his defense, I hear it like I hear John. Like, it doesn't sound fun. But Ray does? Well, I mean, Ray's different. Yeah, I guess so. Because people think you're a boy with a high... A little boy, I guess. A little boy with a high-pitched voice. I think it's because you're a ray of sunshine. Oh, yeah. I've never seen that. Oh, my God. Here we go. Well, whatever it was. He just seemed like Sandra, so I was like, "Well..." Did he walk out of the room high-fiving? No. No. No. I should have high-fived him now. But at least you guys can give yourself some nicknames from your original name. Because for me, I hated my name growing up, because everybody would get it wrong. I bet. What are you going to say? Hold on a second. What? This is off the record. I tried to change her name. And she said, "No." Wait, what was it? Wait, when we first started talking, I told you to change your name. Yeah, we were talking about this. You said, "No, I want to stick with it." I'm like, "All right. That's the name." Yeah. Well, we were talking about it for like a month. Yeah, I'm like... What did you say? I forgot the name. I thought you should go by. I mean, you could go by like Reese. Yeah, I get called by my close friends, Reese. 'Cause they're no Reese. But... My name is just so unique in itself. 'Cause they told me they were like... I don't like their name. I'm like, "Look, I'm just going to get hired. I'll have a child. I'll have a change." Yeah. But imagine like growing up, whenever there's a substitute teacher, I'd be like, "Oh, here we go." I'd get "Nourice", "Nurice", "Nurice", "Nurice", "Nurice", "Nurice", "Nurice", I'm like, "Where's the wine?" "What, you're missing the wine?" I just love the parents that purposely named their kid something. Like I was watching Hannah Brenner, I think Brenner is our last name, her comedy, her stand-up was released yesterday, and there was a girl in the audience, her name was Isis, and they were like, "ISIS hasn't like, you spell it as Isis?" And yeah, the mom was like, "Yeah." But she was like, "I named her before Isis, was like a thing." Right, yeah. It's kind of a cool name if you take out the terrorist part. Yes. There was a girl in my school, her last name was Beach, her mom called her Sandy. Sandy, Sandy. All of you. Yeah. Well, the girl I grew up with, her last name was House, and her mom named her "Inda", so Elizabeth "Inda" House. I love that. That's a perfect radio name, too. Yeah. From Winna Springs, they named. Good morning, everybody. How was everyone? I'm assuming you don't like your name. Um, so growing up, I hated it. I wanted to be a Jennifer, Rachel, Michelle, Melissa, um, but now I really appreciate it. It's different. Yeah. I didn't hear my first Nadine until I was like a freshman in high school. They were announcing the homecoming court, and they're like, "For junior princess, you have Nadine." And they paused, and I was like, "Wait a minute, I'm a freshman. Why?" They called them my name, and they said somebody else's last name. And I was like, "What?" There's another Nadine in the school, because I was an all-man Nadine, you know, all through elementary and middle school. So it was really weird to hear my name. Did you have a nickname? No. I mean, like now I do, like the kids at my school, they call me Dean, Miss Dean. Um, name, no, like name, not really. Hey, hold on a second. All right. So I do like my name. Um, I don't hate my name. I just hate the variations that people have made of my name. Okay. Whatever you-- So I'm from Puerto Rico. I came to the United States for college, and I had a professor that called me Salami the entire semester. Salami? Salami. Wow. Salami. Wow. Where'd you get your name from? So, um, it's my grandma's name. Her name was Amelia Luz, so my mom was very creative and put it backwards. So your name is your grandmother's name backwards. That's nice. Yes. That's nice. So I love my name and how it stands for since she's no longer with us, but I hate the variations of it. All right. There you go. That's pretty. All right. Thank you for sharing that. You have a beautiful day. Bye, guys. Bye, bye. You too. All right. Now I'm going to butcher this name. Uh, Iban Ghazlian. Iban Ghazlian. Is that right? That's why I never liked this. How do you say your name? Iban Ghazlian. Iban Ghazlian. Iban Ghazlian. Iban Ghazlian. Yeah. That's nice. And where'd that come from? My grandmother, uh, parents of Puerto Rican, my grandmother's name was Iban Ghazlian. And my father decided to Americanize this, so came up with Iban Ghazlian. Okay. So what, what did they call you? Iban Ghazlian is just too long to say. So what did they call you? That's right. Well, I'm growing up. My kid's name was Iban Ghazlian. But I got picked on there. It's an Iban Ghazlian. Iban Ghazlian. Iban Ghazlian. Iban Ghazlian. Iban Ghazlian. Iban Ghazlian. All right. You hold on a second. That's funny. Ray, what are they saying over there? Um, there's a lot of them. There's people that hated like their maiden name, um, so they were excited when they got married. Yeah. Somebody's name is Henrat. Henrat? See, this is going to be very difficult with Facebook because I don't want to mispronounce them anyway. So, but somebody did say that their maiden name was, uh, Kooja Lachos. Okay. And so she was called karacha, koo karacha, koochie. Kids is just me. Yeah. Those were adults. Yeah. Then she hated it. Me. Uh, XM will power by attorney Dan Newland in a wreck. Need a check. It's a no brainer. Just Google attorney Dan Newland. Someone said they hate their name Vivian, uh, their mom was a pretty woman fan and that was the name. Oh, yeah. I like the name. Vivian. Nice. The big deal. Uh, someone else said their name is Ramona and they always hated it because it's an old lady name. It is. Someone named Fanny said, come on seriously. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

We met Kevin Hart, Mark Curry from like Daniel and Mr. Cooper, some NBA players, Mark Turner Lantening. Anyway, we get down to the island. We booked an excursion for a natural pool. The problem was there was only two pick workers, so we had to have our own driver, which was my dad. Okay. It tried to drive and stick shift. Okay. We've drive to the pool. And on the way back, there was a 45 degree incline to come back to go up the hill. Okay. A 90 degree turn left, a 45 degree turn up again, but the truck stalled out and started rolling down. And then everybody freaked out and then he tried to go up again and it stalled again a second time. And that second time, we were like inches away from flipping over the edge because there was no barrier. And the whole family would have been like God, so you almost fall off a cliff. Yeah. Damn. I like it. You got to be careful with him. Excursions. Yes. If I'm on a discourage, they say we don't have a driver. I ain't going.

Let's see here from Ovido Valerie Good morning. Good morning. All right. So tell us. True story happened to me. Um, so I've been, I was probably about 13 and it was back in 1998, so when newspapers were still saying, but my family was on vacation in North Carolina and my aunt got a newspaper that morning, happened to see that my favorite band was coming into town about a couple of days, I think right around the time that we were supposed to be leaving. So my cousin and I convinced my parents to let us say a couple of days and go see the show. Well, it was a show with Hanson, by the way, and yeah, so we went back to the hotel and because it was in the 90s, there were payphones everywhere and we used a pay phone to call my best friend who lived down the street from me because we were so excited and we told her, she convinced her mom to drive them 12 hours to go see the show with us. That's the story. No, that's part. That's just part of it. Okay. Um, yeah. I knew, so I knew at the time, I just wanted to fan and she lived down the street from me and I knew my fan club stuff was coming. So I asked her to go down the street and take out my fan club stuff and bring it. Valerie. What happened? Please get us there. Please. Well, so when we got to the venue, we saw that everybody was holding up their fan club card. We had no idea why. So we asked this person sitting next to me and they said, if you do that, you might get picked to go backstage and I held mine up and like 10 seconds later, somebody came. So, get us right. Okay. Okay. Okay. So your true story happened to me is you got picked to meet Hanson. I did. Yeah. Out of. That's a big deal for Hanson fan. I feel especially, but she was a little girl. All right, Johnny, I don't know if they call the Hanson super fans, but that's a big deal to them. The embossers. I'm just going to get that up. It's not a good though, right? Janelle. I'm here.

So the day comes, I get all dressed up and when I get to his house, he comes out and like sweatpants and like a t-shirt, how like a rip in it. He tells me if it's okay if we just hang out at his house in the front. And so I just say, after a while, he tells me that he gets hungry and if we can stop at a fast food restaurant or a fast food place. And so we got the fast food place, Michael Jackson was there. No, Hanson was there. I ordered this food. I ordered mine. Mine was just like $2 because it was off the dollar menu and then we go out to the window. The lady tells us this hotel for his and my food. He leans over me and goes, this is for my food. And he just. Hold on. Hold on. So, true story happened to you. Hold on. Hold on. I'm sweating. Your true story is, you have a date and the dude made you pay for your dollar menu food. Oh, no.
