to be called.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's time for Fact of the Day.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Day day day day.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Do do do do do do do Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This week's theme, that Fact to the Day is things
that had to change their names. It's Monday, Okay, it's
a new theme. It's a new theme, and today we're
dealing with cars that changed their names. Oh okay, I'm
gonna start with the Rolls Royce silver messed the Rolls Royce,
of course, the finest and British engineer.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I don't think I've ever been in a Rolls I've
never been. Was it was.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It that a Rolls Royce downstairs? It but ugly people? Yes,
Oh my goddeus because.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Have those big nose or the big grill across the
from ruefully Rolls.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
If it's like silver or black, you're like, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
But this one was like this garish grimace purple and
the Liberteri.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
And look if it was grimmers driving it.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Apologies because that would make so much that would make
so much sense. If you and Barney the Dinosaur were
commuting to work in a big purple Rolls Royce. You've
both been around for ages, you've earnt your money.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
And Tinky Winky he's allowed.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
To be in the back.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
We need one more purple character, the Purple Wiggle Purple
of course, the original people four. He better not be
in the front because you'll be asleep. And if you're
a sleeping passenger, you go in the back.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah. If you're a passenger at the front, you've got
to stay awake talk to the driver. Oh you have to,
that's your role. Otherwise get in the back. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So I'm imagining Grimace is driving. He's kind of the
alpha of the situation. Ye.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Then Tinky Winky is in the back with Jeff and
Barney's up front. Is in charge of the tunes that
Barney would have I reckon. I'll say it, Bunnie would
have a fire playlist.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah. It would be a mixture of like metal, Springsteen,
hip hop.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It would be a good mix.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah. And then he plays Erica Bardu's Tyrone, the live version.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
That it sets the road trip off Eric live version
of Tyrone Carry Anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
The Rolls Royce silver Myst was not the big purple
garish months that we saw park down stays at work.
But it also wasn't called the Rolls Royce Silver Myst
for long. It became the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow as
the main export market for Rolls Royce outside of the
UK was Germany and myst translates to shit in Germany,
so it was the Rolls Royce Silver Ship.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Missed. Yeah, that's it's a fancy looking car. So they
had to change that to silver Shadow.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
That wasn't yeah, now this one the next one that
had to change its name. This was a classic growing
up in the nineteen nineties. Every family that total horse
float or had a boat or just had too many children.
Not it was the mits a whole per wanker.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
When Spanish, so the.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Marketed the Pahero as the Montero in North America, Spain
and Latin America except for Brazil because they speak Portuguese,
yes they do, and Jamaica. It was also known as
the Phero in uh In Jamaica and in the UK
it was called the Showgun. Okay, but they just kept
it in New Zealand no Spanish speakers. Yeah, they were like,
(03:33):
we know flitch does. Yeah, I've done jeweling the jewelingo
flip speaks.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Not up to car models yet, right, but there I'll
get there.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's next month. Could you call it someone a paher?
Is that the critic Greek pronunciation?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
You don't then when you say je lovely delicious Gilipino.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But the mit phero ah the montero North Americ and
then it never really took off after the name changed,
So the cand it and there hasn't been one in
North America since, so they just.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Is not doing it anymore.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Also assa in Spans. Yeah, you're tossing your salad. It's
the same as the W word, isn't it. So tomorrow
we're looking at places that had to change their name.
No Bombay No, I was thinking that just Sigon, Sigoni,
(04:31):
No Bohemia.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Siam became Thailand.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
No. But it's not like they changed it because of
a change that they changed. They wanted to change it.
There's a small Canadian town named after a hate symbol.
I'll say that much, and they changed their name. We'll
find out tomorrow on Fact of the Day. But today's
fact of the day is the Rolls Royce silver Mist
and the mits of Bushi Piherl had to change their
names in certain countries because of how it translated. Plays
(04:58):
fled Worn and Hailey Sweet Infact of the day. It's
things that to change their name week okay, and I
want to start with a place you thought would have
changed their name. A Canadian town, the town of Swastika, Ontario.
Oh yeah, found that in nineteen oh eight, adopted its
name years before the Nazi Party got the swastika during
World War two. Of course, of course Canada is of
(05:21):
the British Commonwealth. Yeah, they removed the swastikassign from the
sign and replaced that with the town. They ran out
of the town Winston. Well, as soon as the World
War two was over. The residents were lived and they
said no way, and they would put the swastikas sign
and said to how it we came up with it first.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And so you can still visit swastik or Ontario.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
You do that thing. We subtly change up the pronunciation
this swastiker or something, yes, and they'll be like, oh,
it was pronounced like yeah, people have always said it
swastika for years.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah that's what yeah, yeah, swastiker. Yeah. So they didn't
here are some places that did.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
There was a town and the Philippines called Sasmoon, but
apparently it sounds like sex mons. So everybody formerly known
as six Mon officially known as six Man because it
was a place and this was something I learned. I'm
dealing with towns. But lots of like lanes and stuff,
were places where women of the night congregation, and they
all had horrendous names that were actually printed, like grope
(06:28):
and all gropes of something, Grope that lane and this right, all.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That sort of stuff actually official get yourself a bar
group groups.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
But six Mone was a place and Spanish friars. Of course,
the Spanish colonized invaded the Philippines and they were like, no,
it's called Sasmoon, and they're like, no, it's not six Mone,
And so everybody completely ignored that it was called that,
although it is it is officially now changed to sass
Juan Susman in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, you gotta at the a now it suftens it
without a doubt. In my research of places.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
That have changed names, without a doubt, worldwide, the most
changed place names are because it had the inward and
the title oh wow, and there are heaps United States
and Cassada.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
What's that. I just found the need to say, don't
say them?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And so I was at the United States Canada. That
makes sense. There were so many and then.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Of the heaps of them have been changed, some of
them as late as like not that in the last
last years. Yeah yeah, so twenty first of July twenty
four he might be thinking that that's typical of those
terrible nations.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, well remember in twenty sixteen when New Zealand had that.
Twenty sixteen when New Zealand had to name rename three locations.
That's right, Inward Head, Inward Hill and Inward Stream. We're
all officially called that until twenty sixteen in New Zealand
has got changed. Not remember that at all. So so,
(08:05):
and the one that I want to finish on the
biggest one you probably would have seen the signs is
the film The Austrian Town on the German border.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Of if You.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah the full people would have their photo second with it.
People would steal the signs. The main reason they stopped.
They changed it in twenty twenty one. They changed it
to thugging if you G G I n G Yeah
from the full the full swear with ig on the end.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Is it because they were like, oh it's a defensive
Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It was because the signs kept getting stolen and they're like,
we simply can't keep up with this.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
But I mean, thugging is still really funny. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So in two thousand and four it failed. The locals
were like, no, we will not change it to fugging.
But then in late twenty twenty they agreed, and then
twenty twenty one there spelling changed down. The signs better
really concrete them in one of that. That was another
thing about some of the places that have changed their
names or had names that people found very funny is
they literally had to make their roadsides huge engraved stones.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, so they couldn't be stole. They did this and
there's Austrian. Yeah, that's it. That's welcome to Welcome to
this town. Yeah, they did that and someone still managed
to steal it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I always remembering you Plymouth short there's a Shortland Street
and that's on a really tall sign signpost Ah Holden.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Holden Road or some Holden Street and Hamilton was the
same right at the top of a really tall post
because people get stealing them.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
There's other places.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, so today's specter the day is lots of places
have changed their name due to terrible choices throughout our history.
But sadly, in twenty twenty one, the Austrian town of
you know changed its name officially to the Austrian town
of Fugging plays Fledgvorne and Hailey's Week in fact of that,
(10:04):
that's things that have changed their name, jue to, I
don't know, a change of how certain words have perceived today.
Were doing food, Okay, they're doing food now. While aunt
Jemimah and Uncle Ben have had makeovers. Still the same name, yes,
still the same name. That was problematic because of the
(10:25):
characterization of re mentioned uncle and Auntie, but they've remained
the same name, just changed their look. Of an Australia
coon cheese.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yes, this was last year or the year before.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yes, and twenty twenty one actually coon cheese became chair cheese.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That have been sold in Australia for more than eighty years.
And of course the origins of the term.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Weren't the racist term, but the term had become synonymous. Yeah,
the racist term. So they changed it to chair cheese.
Closer to home, our own Explorer lollies. Oh yeah, and
what used to be called the Eskimo pie or canceled
And he just said an ice cream and cased in chocolate.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And he said, oh, I'm just saying it in quotations.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Cancel.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I heard it.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Became it is pie overseas. But I just think they
start making them down here. No, I think they still
make them, do they? They just call them something?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure they still Explorer lollies go
to there.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I don't have a pies they produce a Jared big
fan of an ice cream snack and case and chocolate.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
He does. He loves them, nearly has a few under their.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Umbrella.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And the Lolly department that have had to change their
name Redskins again.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
He said, it got them. I'm hearing her. I'm hearing it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And the team changed its name too, didn't it.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yes, we're dealing with sports teams tomorrow, sports Crusaders.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
No, they've kept their name. I decided to do was
just keep the name. They kept it, Yeah, Spike, Yeah, no, Yeah,
it's interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Also there was a lolly under in the Nestle candy
under their umbrella. In Spanish, it meant kiss from a
black woman.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Oh okay, that translated, I mean yes, place, do you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
They wouldn't say you, wouldn't say nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Say nothing a black woman.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
And there was another lolly they had you. But the
word was also used in the US as a slur
against people of Latin American descent.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Goodiness, So they've changed those now.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
One that we've kind of touched on a couple of
times this week is things that haven't changed their names
but probably should for our English list, as you might
be familiar with mister Brain's pork insert very offensive f word. Yes, now,
mister brains, the bundle of sticks.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
It has been named.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
This mister Brains product came out over one hundred years
ago and it was a bundle of meatballs, a bundle
of pork meatballs, so actually drew on the Italian term.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
My god, you can't still buy them? Yeah, you absolutely
can still buy them. And you know what, every time
they tell the company they already change it.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
You know what they say, no, no, just straight no,
because that's not what that word meant.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's Italian for a bundle and this is a bundle
of shocking singing, the branding and.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Buy those right and in the UK have made of
mine over there when back mainly he's like, I can't
believe you can.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Still buy these of them. Yeah, it's pretty, it's a
lot pretty.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
So today's back to the day is a lot of
foods have changed their names because of racist origins to
the name.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Of that food. Play play sports teams that have had
to change their name.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
This is things that have changed their names.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Okay, not targeting the Crusaders, not suggesting that it would
be time to change it, changing bloody logo, we did enough.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Surprising, not surprisingly, I should say, it's mostly American sports teams, yeah, changed,
just more in the lines.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Of cultural appropriation a lot of the time.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Like it's not I mean, most famously the Washington Redskins
and so America term that's an offensive term, a racially
derogatory term. But you know what blew my mind how
many European sports teams have native American names.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Because we've got.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
The Chiefs, okay, the Waco Chiefs, but also that's Malti Chiefs. Yeah,
but like a European football teams and baseball teams, they
didn't have chiefs, did they? Then they certainly didn't have
chiefs adorned with feather based headwear.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
As a woman who has definitely not deleted a photo
of herself from an Instagram wearing a Native American he dress,
I'm a paul.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
He looks so good in that photo. Must cool.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
There's always a.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Profile model like a full an approprile he dress.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Even though I did have a photo of me in
a Native American head dress on my Instagram from two
thousand and living.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Wow borderline almost deleted that, But you've lift the black
face photo up.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Because but my body was popping. That's when I was
really into and so just like what's happening up top?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I agree it was ghastly going black face to ride
an elephant. I said that she's doing both at once.
She was black face patting a drugged out tiger.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
As well on the back of an allan, just feeling sweet.
He was a sweet little boy. He was just a
nice kind boy, went a nice connection, right.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Harrison Sports teams that have changed their names the you
know the Alla Clippers.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
You may Thinkail Clippers.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
No, No, I actually knew too. It's named after the
boats because the Clippers are from San Diego. They were
in San Diego when they changed the name to the Clippers,
and it's like a name for a little boat. But
before that they were the San Diego Braves. When they
moved from Buffalo, there were the Buffalo Braves, and all
of their Buffalo, New York, all of their.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Heavily was a very heavily Native American, right.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
The Golden State Warriors were originally the Philadelphia Warriors, then
the San Francisco Warriors.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
They dropped the.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Native American imagery when they became the Golden State Warriors,
and of course now it's the Bridge, the Bridge of
the Golden State Warriors. The Cleveland the Cleveland Indians played
in the Major League Baseball for a very long time.
They dropped the name in December twenty twenty. They will
be called the Cleveland Guardians. Fear ran out and.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I believe they were.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
The last game that the squad players Indians was a
good one that defitted the Texas Rangers six zero. So
they think they saw the name off for the good right,
for the good win over the Rangers. I'm not sure,
of course. The Washington Redskins is the most famous example
because they kind of fought it so much.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, we don't really want to change it, but everyone
knows us as there.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah, that's our name, that's what we've got. But that's
probably the most high profile one. So all the examples
of sports teens that had to change their names because
of you know, a.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Cultural and appropriation or just play and racism in.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
The form of the Washington Redskins have changed their names
and they've all been American plays.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Apologies because that would make so much that would make
so much sense. If you and Barney the Dinosaur were
commuting to work in a big purple Rolls Royce. You've
both been around for ages, you've earnt your money.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
And Tinky Winky he's allowed.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
To be in the back.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
We need one more purple character, the Purple Wiggle Purple
of course, the original people four. He better not be
in the front because you'll be asleep. And if you're
a sleeping passenger, you go in the back.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah. If you're a passenger at the front, you've got
to stay awake talk to the driver. Oh you have to,
that's your role. Otherwise get in the back. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So I'm imagining Grimace is driving. He's kind of the
alpha of the situation. Ye.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Then Tinky Winky is in the back with Jeff and
Barney's up front. Is in charge of the tunes that
Barney would have I reckon. I'll say it, Bunnie would
have a fire playlist.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah. It would be a mixture of like metal, Springsteen,
hip hop.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It would be a good mix.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah. And then he plays Erica Bardu's Tyrone, the live version.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
That it sets the road trip off Eric live version
of Tyrone Carry Anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
The Rolls Royce silver Myst was not the big purple
garish months that we saw park down stays at work.
But it also wasn't called the Rolls Royce Silver Myst
for long. It became the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow as
the main export market for Rolls Royce outside of the
UK was Germany and myst translates to shit in Germany,
so it was the Rolls Royce Silver Ship.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Missed. Yeah, that's it's a fancy looking car. So they
had to change that to silver Shadow.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
That wasn't yeah, now this one the next one that
had to change its name. This was a classic growing
up in the nineteen nineties. Every family that total horse
float or had a boat or just had too many children.
Not it was the mits a whole per wanker.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
When Spanish, so the.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Marketed the Pahero as the Montero in North America, Spain
and Latin America except for Brazil because they speak Portuguese,
yes they do, and Jamaica. It was also known as
the Phero in uh In Jamaica and in the UK
it was called the Showgun. Okay, but they just kept
it in New Zealand no Spanish speakers. Yeah, they were like,
(03:33):
we know flitch does. Yeah, I've done jeweling the jewelingo
flip speaks.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Not up to car models yet, right, but there I'll
get there.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's next month. Could you call it someone a paher?
Is that the critic Greek pronunciation?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
You don't then when you say je lovely delicious Gilipino.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But the mit phero ah the montero North Americ and
then it never really took off after the name changed,
So the cand it and there hasn't been one in
North America since, so they just.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Is not doing it anymore.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Also assa in Spans. Yeah, you're tossing your salad. It's
the same as the W word, isn't it. So tomorrow
we're looking at places that had to change their name.
No Bombay No, I was thinking that just Sigon, Sigoni,
(04:31):
No Bohemia.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Siam became Thailand.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
No. But it's not like they changed it because of
a change that they changed. They wanted to change it.
There's a small Canadian town named after a hate symbol.
I'll say that much, and they changed their name. We'll
find out tomorrow on Fact of the Day. But today's
fact of the day is the Rolls Royce silver Mist
and the mits of Bushi Piherl had to change their
names in certain countries because of how it translated. Plays
(04:58):
fled Worn and Hailey Sweet Infact of the day. It's
things that to change their name week okay, and I
want to start with a place you thought would have
changed their name. A Canadian town, the town of Swastika, Ontario.
Oh yeah, found that in nineteen oh eight, adopted its
name years before the Nazi Party got the swastika during
World War two. Of course, of course Canada is of
(05:21):
the British Commonwealth. Yeah, they removed the swastikassign from the
sign and replaced that with the town. They ran out
of the town Winston. Well, as soon as the World
War two was over. The residents were lived and they
said no way, and they would put the swastikas sign
and said to how it we came up with it first.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And so you can still visit swastik or Ontario.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
You do that thing. We subtly change up the pronunciation
this swastiker or something, yes, and they'll be like, oh,
it was pronounced like yeah, people have always said it
swastika for years.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah that's what yeah, yeah, swastiker. Yeah. So they didn't
here are some places that did.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
There was a town and the Philippines called Sasmoon, but
apparently it sounds like sex mons. So everybody formerly known
as six Mon officially known as six Man because it
was a place and this was something I learned. I'm
dealing with towns. But lots of like lanes and stuff,
were places where women of the night congregation, and they
all had horrendous names that were actually printed, like grope
(06:28):
and all gropes of something, Grope that lane and this right, all.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That sort of stuff actually official get yourself a bar
group groups.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
But six Mone was a place and Spanish friars. Of course,
the Spanish colonized invaded the Philippines and they were like, no,
it's called Sasmoon, and they're like, no, it's not six Mone,
And so everybody completely ignored that it was called that,
although it is it is officially now changed to sass
Juan Susman in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, you gotta at the a now it suftens it
without a doubt. In my research of places.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
That have changed names, without a doubt, worldwide, the most
changed place names are because it had the inward and
the title oh wow, and there are heaps United States
and Cassada.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
What's that. I just found the need to say, don't
say them?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And so I was at the United States Canada. That
makes sense. There were so many and then.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Of the heaps of them have been changed, some of
them as late as like not that in the last
last years. Yeah yeah, so twenty first of July twenty
four he might be thinking that that's typical of those
terrible nations.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, well remember in twenty sixteen when New Zealand had that.
Twenty sixteen when New Zealand had to name rename three locations.
That's right, Inward Head, Inward Hill and Inward Stream. We're
all officially called that until twenty sixteen in New Zealand
has got changed. Not remember that at all. So so,
(08:05):
and the one that I want to finish on the
biggest one you probably would have seen the signs is
the film The Austrian Town on the German border.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Of if You.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah the full people would have their photo second with it.
People would steal the signs. The main reason they stopped.
They changed it in twenty twenty one. They changed it
to thugging if you G G I n G Yeah
from the full the full swear with ig on the end.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Is it because they were like, oh it's a defensive
Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It was because the signs kept getting stolen and they're like,
we simply can't keep up with this.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
But I mean, thugging is still really funny. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So in two thousand and four it failed. The locals
were like, no, we will not change it to fugging.
But then in late twenty twenty they agreed, and then
twenty twenty one there spelling changed down. The signs better
really concrete them in one of that. That was another
thing about some of the places that have changed their
names or had names that people found very funny is
they literally had to make their roadsides huge engraved stones.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, so they couldn't be stole. They did this and
there's Austrian. Yeah, that's it. That's welcome to Welcome to
this town. Yeah, they did that and someone still managed
to steal it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I always remembering you Plymouth short there's a Shortland Street
and that's on a really tall sign signpost Ah Holden.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Holden Road or some Holden Street and Hamilton was the
same right at the top of a really tall post
because people get stealing them.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
There's other places.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, so today's specter the day is lots of places
have changed their name due to terrible choices throughout our history.
But sadly, in twenty twenty one, the Austrian town of
you know changed its name officially to the Austrian town
of Fugging plays Fledgvorne and Hailey's Week in fact of that,
(10:04):
that's things that have changed their name, jue to, I
don't know, a change of how certain words have perceived today.
Were doing food, Okay, they're doing food now. While aunt
Jemimah and Uncle Ben have had makeovers. Still the same name, yes,
still the same name. That was problematic because of the
(10:25):
characterization of re mentioned uncle and Auntie, but they've remained
the same name, just changed their look. Of an Australia
coon cheese.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yes, this was last year or the year before.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yes, and twenty twenty one actually coon cheese became chair cheese.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That have been sold in Australia for more than eighty years.
And of course the origins of the term.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Weren't the racist term, but the term had become synonymous. Yeah,
the racist term. So they changed it to chair cheese.
Closer to home, our own Explorer lollies. Oh yeah, and
what used to be called the Eskimo pie or canceled
And he just said an ice cream and cased in chocolate.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And he said, oh, I'm just saying it in quotations.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Cancel.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I heard it.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Became it is pie overseas. But I just think they
start making them down here. No, I think they still
make them, do they? They just call them something?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure they still Explorer lollies go
to there.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I don't have a pies they produce a Jared big
fan of an ice cream snack and case and chocolate.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
He does. He loves them, nearly has a few under their.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Umbrella.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And the Lolly department that have had to change their
name Redskins again.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
He said, it got them. I'm hearing her. I'm hearing it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And the team changed its name too, didn't it.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yes, we're dealing with sports teams tomorrow, sports Crusaders.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
No, they've kept their name. I decided to do was
just keep the name. They kept it, Yeah, Spike, Yeah, no, Yeah,
it's interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Also there was a lolly under in the Nestle candy
under their umbrella. In Spanish, it meant kiss from a
black woman.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Oh okay, that translated, I mean yes, place, do you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
They wouldn't say you, wouldn't say nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Say nothing a black woman.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
And there was another lolly they had you. But the
word was also used in the US as a slur
against people of Latin American descent.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Goodiness, So they've changed those now.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
One that we've kind of touched on a couple of
times this week is things that haven't changed their names
but probably should for our English list, as you might
be familiar with mister Brain's pork insert very offensive f word. Yes, now,
mister brains, the bundle of sticks.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
It has been named.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
This mister Brains product came out over one hundred years
ago and it was a bundle of meatballs, a bundle
of pork meatballs, so actually drew on the Italian term.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
My god, you can't still buy them? Yeah, you absolutely
can still buy them. And you know what, every time
they tell the company they already change it.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
You know what they say, no, no, just straight no,
because that's not what that word meant.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's Italian for a bundle and this is a bundle
of shocking singing, the branding and.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Buy those right and in the UK have made of
mine over there when back mainly he's like, I can't
believe you can.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Still buy these of them. Yeah, it's pretty, it's a
lot pretty.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
So today's back to the day is a lot of
foods have changed their names because of racist origins to
the name.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Of that food. Play play sports teams that have had
to change their name.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
This is things that have changed their names.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Okay, not targeting the Crusaders, not suggesting that it would
be time to change it, changing bloody logo, we did enough.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Surprising, not surprisingly, I should say, it's mostly American sports teams, yeah, changed,
just more in the lines.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Of cultural appropriation a lot of the time.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Like it's not I mean, most famously the Washington Redskins
and so America term that's an offensive term, a racially
derogatory term. But you know what blew my mind how
many European sports teams have native American names.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Because we've got.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
The Chiefs, okay, the Waco Chiefs, but also that's Malti Chiefs. Yeah,
but like a European football teams and baseball teams, they
didn't have chiefs, did they? Then they certainly didn't have
chiefs adorned with feather based headwear.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
As a woman who has definitely not deleted a photo
of herself from an Instagram wearing a Native American he dress,
I'm a paul.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
He looks so good in that photo. Must cool.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
There's always a.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Profile model like a full an approprile he dress.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Even though I did have a photo of me in
a Native American head dress on my Instagram from two
thousand and living.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Wow borderline almost deleted that, But you've lift the black
face photo up.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Because but my body was popping. That's when I was
really into and so just like what's happening up top?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I agree it was ghastly going black face to ride
an elephant. I said that she's doing both at once.
She was black face patting a drugged out tiger.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
As well on the back of an allan, just feeling sweet.
He was a sweet little boy. He was just a
nice kind boy, went a nice connection, right.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Harrison Sports teams that have changed their names the you
know the Alla Clippers.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
You may Thinkail Clippers.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
No, No, I actually knew too. It's named after the
boats because the Clippers are from San Diego. They were
in San Diego when they changed the name to the Clippers,
and it's like a name for a little boat. But
before that they were the San Diego Braves. When they
moved from Buffalo, there were the Buffalo Braves, and all
of their Buffalo, New York, all of their.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Heavily was a very heavily Native American, right.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
The Golden State Warriors were originally the Philadelphia Warriors, then
the San Francisco Warriors.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
They dropped the.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Native American imagery when they became the Golden State Warriors,
and of course now it's the Bridge, the Bridge of
the Golden State Warriors. The Cleveland the Cleveland Indians played
in the Major League Baseball for a very long time.
They dropped the name in December twenty twenty. They will
be called the Cleveland Guardians. Fear ran out and.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I believe they were.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
The last game that the squad players Indians was a
good one that defitted the Texas Rangers six zero. So
they think they saw the name off for the good right,
for the good win over the Rangers. I'm not sure,
of course. The Washington Redskins is the most famous example
because they kind of fought it so much.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, we don't really want to change it, but everyone
knows us as there.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah, that's our name, that's what we've got. But that's
probably the most high profile one. So all the examples
of sports teens that had to change their names because
of you know, a.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Cultural and appropriation or just play and racism in.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
The form of the Washington Redskins have changed their names
and they've all been American plays.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Flinch Voorne and Haley.
