Episode Transcript
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day with Nina is what's trending.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Kevin Jonas has been catfishing us his whole life.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
I saw that, and I'm so confused.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Did you know that Kevin Jonas's name is not Kevin?
What is it? It's Paul what? So he just revealed
this on social media.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
But the funny part is is he's asking his fans
if they mind if he changes his name back because
he liked to just be Paul.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I like Kevin.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
I don't know why they changed in the first place.
Kevin is his middle name, so his name is Paul
Kevin Jonas, but then it would be Nick Joe and Paul.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I wonder if they did that though, because of the Beatles.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh, maybe Paul sounds actually good. I was gonna be like,
maybe it doesn't sound good. When he said it, I'm like,
it sounds pretty good.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It reminded me of the Beatles. Yeah, it kind of does.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
And then like, I don't even listen to the Beatles,
but you just know Theles because you always hear about
Paul McCartney and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I know there is an odd choice.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
They like, my name is Brad, I'm gonna change it.
I'll go by Chad.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It's name, I know.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
But it's just like, yeah, that is not a far
enough of a jump to go through that work, right,
It makes no sense to me.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Paul and Kevin. I think that Kevin is less polarizing
than Paul.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah. Yeah, it's polarizing about a Paul.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
I'm Paul's ad a little harder.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's one syllable.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Paul has arrived, and then you know, Nick and Joe
would feel weird about that because they're one syllable.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
So they had to make Kevin that guy that was.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
A two name man.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
They have been putting Kevin in the corner.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Now they've been putting Paul in the corner.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Wait, isn't there one? Isn't there another Jonas brother? Yeah,
that's bonus. He's the one that's been in the corner,
has been outside. He's not even allowed to in.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
He's a syllable name too, Frankie, right, so it.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Is probably Francis though, Well, wait are these boys all
named after saints?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's what I think, Yeah, Nicola.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
They were very religios when they were younger.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Dad Nicholas, Joseph Paul, and Francis.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh maybe what?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I just found out that a lot of people actually
go by their middle names. Well though they didn't.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
They also start out with purity rings and all that
stuff that was part of their.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Actually makes sense and then.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Off, yeah, now this is my brand. That's fun.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
So either way, people are a little bit shook because
they don't know who tore, like what to think of him? Now?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
That confused me. I saw that and I was very
confused by it. But then I also found out, like
two weeks ago that apparently both my cousins also go
by their middle names. And I'm like, homie, what's your
first name? Then you don't know our first name. I
was like, what have I been calling you this whole time?
And they're like our middle names, and I'm like, I'm
so sorry, Like it's.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Fine, But Brad makes up a good point, like my
family does that too. But there are Ronnian names. So
my cousin's name is said, and he would go by Sean,
and then my uncle's name is Magi, but he'd.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Go by Jerry.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
So it's like, yeah, okay, that makes a little more
sense because you're just trying to make it easy right as.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
An average white guy.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
If I went by one of my men, and I
have two middle names, special if I went by one
of my middle names, the leap would be hilarious. You
would love it. I could pick between Joe and Bill. Oh,
I would love to be a Bill. Joseph and William
are my middle name. One time I was going to do.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
A country radio show and I was gonna call.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Myself Joe Billy. I would really like it if you
were Willie Joe will that words in.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
The morning Willy or Woni.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
That's a new seal we got here.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You know what I'm out. This is now the Willie Show.
I'm going I just want to listen. I don't care
if I make money ever again or have a job
ever again.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
In the radio.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
We got a long lifelong listen right here, oh absolutely,
in the will Show all day.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You see the logo yellow and.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
You might not be awake yet, but your Willy is
and I must right here in the morning, I.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Am your will.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
And I am up and ready to go. Nothing like
a good Willy in the morning. After to the bathroom,
We're gonna play game, all right, you know, we gotta
go that's what. I just want to listen to The
(04:42):
Willie Show all.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Day, just playing in your head to.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Catch Jeter is coming up right after this.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's The Willi Show.
