Friday 4: Sports Team Nicknames

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I went to scissors in Scotch last week. Was that
I got my hair cut nice and uh they gave
me a bourbon for free? Well did to add it
on at the bill? Surely? No? No, what a complimentary drink?
Complimentary complimentary beverage after you're done with your before or after,
depending on how early you get there. I usually like

(00:20):
it after. But okay, yeah, fully functioning bar s throwing
that out there anyway and shout out to test. Did
a good job with the hair, did a good job.
I like it? Do you like it?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
I thought it accomplished its mission. I think you were
a little bit on the fence on it. It first
looks like you've grown into it, no pun intended.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, yeah, I'm always like one of these guys who's
always just a little bit oh you know, how do
I how do I put this? You're just a little
bit shocked by the difference because you see yourself every day.
So like when I cut my hair, like you may
not have noticed that much, but I noticed. And I
always kind of cut it a little shorter than I
really actually want it to be because I like it

(01:00):
to like last longer, because for some reason, I just
don't like getting my hair cut that often, but it's
kind of a therapeutic process. And I actually, now that
I'm you know, making a decent living, I guess I
can afford a haircut every six weeks. Maybe I just
need to make it a part of my life just
because I can, you know, just make my hair healthy,
but also enjoy good bourbon or whatever beverage I decide
to drink and get to have that steamy hot towel

(01:24):
on my face. Well, she cuts my hair, ah, all
that good stuff. It's a nice feel. It's yeah, it's
a nice feel. It's good. Sometimes you can pay the
extra and she'll give you a good little shoulder massage
and that feels good too. You're just sitting there and
you got the hair's cut, and you just got your
your hair shaved up, like your neck shaved, you know
for me. Yeah, and stuff grows out. I don't touch

(01:46):
it for a while, you know, Like imagine you you notice,
you know, having those little hairs in the back of
your neck. Yeah, it's nice to get them cleaned up. Oh,
I feels so good, it does. And then all of
a sudden, she's like seeing a little back massage and
you're just like, oh, this is the best. Don't do
that and my make or feel weird. No, I don't
do that. I don't. Just like I sit there and
I'm just like, ah, yes, you know, like in my brain,

(02:06):
I'm just like, this is this is everything a man wants.
So they don't like a manny petty for a girl.
This is what this is the man version of this.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
What I'm just I'm just imagining you. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah,
it's good stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, okay, thanks. Well, anyway, this news came out today.
We're having fun on a Friday, and it's time for
a Friday for And we'll tell you what the Friday
for is about in a second. But first, something that's
pretty related. Have you heard of the Utah Hockey Club. Oh,
they they haven't settled on a nickname yet. There you go.
This is the NHL team that used to be the

(02:43):
Arizona Coyotes and moved to Utah, and they did it
so hastily that they basically just settled on They wanted
to get it right, they didn't want to rush into anything.
So they are the Utah Hockey Club with generic jerseys
that just say Utah on them, but a pretty cool
color scheme. It's black with like a light blue and
white and you could do a lot with that. And

(03:04):
they want fans to help pick the name, which it
makes sense, right, like you know, you want people to
have the opportunity to have a say in this. And
they had six finalists for this, and some news has
come out about this because they were hoping to have
this plus the logo all done by next season, right,
and they're in the middle of this season still. But
this stuff takes time, right, like getting your branding like

(03:26):
trademarked and licensed and then slapped on a bunch of merchandise,
and you got to make the logo and you got
to make all the merchandise and the jerseys and all that.
So they're thinking about this, right are you ready? You're
ready for this? Here are the six finalists, the Utah Lizard,
the Utah Memoth, the Utah Outlaws, the Utah Venom, the
Utah Hockey Club, which is what they're operating as right now,

(03:49):
and the Utah Yetti. I like the last one final answer, Well,
so did a lot of other people. And that is
why this is news because the US Patent and Trademark
Office has rejected that nickname.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
What the Patent Office, what are they getting their noses
in this?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
For they have gotten into it because the Utah Yetis
will create a likelihood of confusion according to the Office
for Consumers to other companies and brands that use the
YETI name. Oh, give me a break. On this memo,
the word Utah is a generic descriptor that renders the
word Yeti's as the more dominant element of the mark,

(04:24):
which means it could be in confusion with companies that
share the nickname what, including the cooler company YETI Cooler's LLC.
And it was a non final office action according to
the memo, and Utah Hockey Clubs three months to try
to respond and try to talk their way into it.
I suppose, or go back to the drawing board. Now

(04:45):
I have a couple of I have a couple of
theories on this. First of all, YETI or Yeti's was
going to win, and they are in the process of
actually trying to get this same trademark so they can
start making the stuff. They haven't announced what one yet,
but this is the news that they have. Maybe they
just preemptively reached out to trademark all of these things
and YETI just kind of got blocked or we can't

(05:09):
discount this? Can I put conspiracy Amory on on the radio?
Here real quick? You got my X files music? I do,
let me find it. Yeah, I want the X files
music for this because this is Emory. This is Conspiracymory.
The people who own the Utah Hockey Club don't like

(05:32):
the name Yetti, and they wanted this to leak out,
so it gives them an excuse not to go with
Yetti even if it wins the fan vote. Okay, you
follow you follow you hear me, you pick it up
on that. I mean, it's an interests it's plausible. Sure,

(05:53):
So they knew it would win the fan vote, and
it was. They were seeing the results. I'm sure it
was going to win. So then they leaked this. Look
the eliite is before you make an official announcement say
we're having all sorts of troubles with the trademark. I
guess we just can't be the Yetties right, And they
didn't like it. They didn't like it, so they're kind
of like building themselves in out to go in a
different direction. Although the Blizzard demam at the outlaws of

(06:14):
the Venom these are terrible names. So is the Utah
Hockey Club. Yeah. But when the Washington football team did
that for a couple of years, you know, some people
started to warm up to the idea.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
I don't o a WFT yeah, oh that's right. Washington
Football Football team WFT OWFT yeah, Washington Football. Oh yeah,
the Washington football team.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Why would you call it?

Speaker 3 (06:39):
So it's just it's the club against whoever they're playing. Yeah,
the hockey club or just Utah or we can still
have fun in our lives and still have nicknames and
enjoy ourselves.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Look, they had a big list of twenty, and I
thought there were a couple like the Ice in like
something like that. You know, it's like, yeah, it's pretty generic,
but you know there were some there that I was like, yeah,
this is not so bad.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
You know, if you think about yet, he's just kind
of insensitive to big hairy people. Is George the animal
is still going to be offended?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Is he alive? Still? Probably not? Outlaws? Is kind of
offensive to people in jail? Is that right? Is that right?
I thought this was going to be more of like
the Old West style guys, you know, with the bandanas
on their face and the cowboy hats and.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
The mammoths is kind of offensive to what's that guy
from Sesame Street's nothalopogus.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
He's not even a mammoth? What is? Who cares? I
was trying to think of something. I mean, they found
mammoth bones and fossils around Utah. At least that kind
of makes sense in Utah. Venom, for whatever it's worth,
They're the beehive state. They have a ton of bes there,
so uh you know that's that's how venom like. You
could do like a B some B related logos. At
least a logo be cool. I don't really like venom

(07:43):
is a name.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Venom is a little bit insensitive to those who have
died from a venomous bite or.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
McCaulay culkin and my girl, who you know, spoiler alert
dies from getting stung by a ton of bees because
he's allergic in the movie Oh man, rip mccaully. Shouldn't
be funny, it is. Yeah, you want to know something
else I got? I got an idea out of this.
Right as we debate what the nickname for this hockey
team should be, what are your favorite sports team nicknames?

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Right?

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Like, not the team name like not Nebraska or not
Golden State, right, but the nickname right, like like the
Chicago Bulls.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Like bulls? You like the Bulls? What a good What
about the Blackhawks? The Chicago Blackhawks? Right, it's a good
name with a good logan. Now we're not talking logos,
we're just talking names.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Just the name.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
But yeah, it's like a mascot either, so like, yeah,
the Philadelphia Phillies, they got a pretty cool mascot.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, but not him, just the name, the name, and
if you have Phillies on there, I have real questions
about like you and your creativity if you like that
among yours. So we'll do the Mount rushmore of or
Friday for your favorite sports team nicknames and we will
talk about that coming up next. You and I, Matt
and I will do ours, and then we'll open for
phone calls at the bom So stick around and while

(09:02):
we're doing this, I'm going to open a phone call
right now for a contest. We're trying to give away
a couple of tickets if you want to win Omaha
lawn Flower and patio tickets for next weekend, which is
taking place at cchi Hell Center in Omaha on Friday,
the thirty first through the Sunday February second. Call us. Now,
we'll go ahead. There are thirty two teams in the NHL.

(09:23):
Thirty second caller is going to win a family four
pack of tickets to this the Omaha lawn Flower and
Patio Show. So call in now on news radio eleven
ten kfab Emrie Sunger on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Our favorite four It's our mount rushmore essentially of favorite

(09:45):
sports team nicknames, which basically is just like the team
name right, like the Cornhuskers, right, the Mavericks for you
and O, the Blue Jays for Creighton, and this could
you know, be college, it could be pro, it could
be U wherever, Matt case. Why don't you do the honors?
Who you got on your list today? Well, sure, you

(10:05):
know the very first one. They don't actually go by
this anymore, just recently changed. But I got to say
the football team. I love that team out in Washington,
the Washington football team. Of course, I'm just joking.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
I'm just I'm spoofing off of the idea that that
Utah would even consider keeping themselves as the hockey club.
Let's just strip fun away from life and see how
that works. Hey, you know what, it's got a kind
of a classy, you know, soccer feel. I suppose you know, right,
that's just perfect. That's what we need, more soccer and hockey.
That's what I've always said. We can just get more

(10:36):
soccer into hockey. I think we'd all be happier. Okay,
you've made your point. Hey, you know what hockey doesn't
have yet, flopping. Let's fix that. We need some flopping about.
Flopping and there's a penalty for it if you commit it.
It's called embellishment. Yeah, and then you get you get
a couple of punches to the chompers. I bet you
yah'll flopping disrespectful.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, it's disrespectful to the game. Don't be flopping. You'll
be hitting in the penalty box. You're getting a sandal.
You get to to to uh to, and it's in
the sin bin, that's for sure. Uh huh. All right, go.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Ahead, Okay, So the first one. I've always loved this one.
They're a fellow Big Ten team. I think the Big Ten. Honestly,
if I really had to rank best mascots, nicknames, and
just uniforms, I've always loved the Big Ten for that
I think there's are some really good ones in there.
These guys definitely have always fit the bill for me,
just because I love the mascot too, But the name

(11:22):
is so cool to me. The Purdue boiler Makers. The
boiler Maker, Yeah, big old trained. I just think it's clow,
it's cool, it's classic, it's a great look. And yeah,
so the boiler Makers makes my list.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Another team that makes my list is a community college.
Oh yeah, you gotta go with the Scottsdale Community College
fighting artichokes already, the artichoke one of my faves. Yeah, yeah,
how does an artichoke fight?

Speaker 1 (11:50):
He doesn't. I think it's absurd and hilarious. And you know,
when you're you know, a small community college team, you
can kind of play around with this exactly.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Like like the like Iowa Western, they're the reavers. What's
a reaver? Apparently it's a river pirate. Is that a thing?

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Something like that? But they do it, you know, I
don't know, the Missouri River might have had some reavers
back in the day.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Oh yeah, that's some reavers hanging out there like stealing
people's logs. What a what an occupation? A river pirates?
All right, all right, all right, my way up to
the ocean. Just haven't got there yet. Next up is this.
I love this one for a couple of reasons. Uh
Coastal Carolina, Shanta Clear, Chanta Clears.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
I love it because it sounds like chandeliers, and I
always I've always really wanted there to be a team
that had the mascot the chandeliers, because I think that's hilarious.
And then I think it'd be funny if, like, at
some point in the game, a giant chandelier just drops
and lands at midfield and just explodes everywhere.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
I feel like that'd be uh that they could be harmful,
or like if.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
It was in baseball there's one up there and if
you hit it just right and you know it's domed,
and somebody just smacks the chandelier and it falls down.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
There's just really something funny to me about a mascot
being a chandelier. So that was a bit of an aside. Yeah,
I feel like that had nothing to do with what
he actually said. Nothing, But I picked chanton Claire's because
it sounds like chandeliers and that'd be really cool. Exactly.
But I picked Shanta Clear. I'll tell you why because
it sounds like it does sound cool the Shanta clears, Like,

(13:22):
what is that? Is that like a fancy like chicken. Yeah,
it's just a it's just an angry chicken. It's a
chicken that's kind of ticked off, you know. Apparently it's
a proud and fierce rooster. It's just a it's just
an angry male chicken. Who who was you know, not
very nice. So that's that's where the Shanta Clear is
not as glamorous once you discover it. But I and
the and the color, the color is good too. Yeah,

(13:45):
all right, how.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Many is that?

Speaker 3 (13:46):
That's three? Okay, one more, one more so the last one.
I've always liked this one too. I think it's pretty cool,
pretty unique there in the Big East. And it is
the Providence Friars.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
The Friars. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
I love it because you think of it and you're
like one of the like in the kitchen, like yeah, yeah,
you know, but no, it's it's the friar. It's it's
the uh, it's the person in the church, you know,
the friar like friar tuck. I always think of Friar Tuck.
I think that's why I like it, because I love
the movie Robin Hood from the Disney movie, and I
love Friar Tuck, and I love that scene when Friar

(14:18):
Tuck is literally belly bouncing the sheriff out of his church, yeah,
bling at him.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
But that's actually what they are, which is the like
their their mascot is a guy dressed like that. Yeah, yeah,
I mean that's what they are. They are legitimately the Friars.
So yeah, it's pretty cool, all right. So what are
the foe again? So it was the Purdue boiler Makers,
big old train. I think that's cool, Scottsdale Community College
fighting Artichokes classic, and one that didn't quite make the

(14:46):
cut would be the Iowa Westernrity College re Reavers rib
out out out to them. And then of course you
got the Coastal Carolina not Chandeliers, but Chanta Clears, which
is just an angry chicken when it gets down to it,
rooster for those keeping track at home. And then the
last one rounding out the list, the Providence Friars. Nice, nice,

(15:07):
love it. Okay, So I don't have time to do
mine right now, so I'm going to do mine on
the other side of the break, but we'll go ahead
and line up calls for anybody who wants to take
part in our conversation. If you want to call in,
you got your favorite sports team names, the sports team nicknames.
That's what we're doing today in honor of the Utah
Hockey Club not figuring this out at least to this point,
what they want to name their team. The phone number

(15:27):
four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Four roh
two five five eight eleven ten. I'll get to my
list and we'll take your list.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Coming up next on news Radio eleven ten KFAB and
Marie's songer.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I Stop Feeling it now, mister Drad on news Radio
eleven ten KFAB. Unique. Right, That's one thing I think
more than anything that we like is the uniqueness of
those names. I too found four that I like the best,
and I could have a lot of lists. The Fighting
Arctis Chokes were definitely on the short list, but once
you put them on, I was going to do something different,

(15:58):
and I'll do mine and then we'll take phone calls.
So if you want to be a part of the show.
Four h two five five eight eleven ten, four oh two, five, five, eight, eleven, ten,
and we'll take calls in a second. You can also
email me Emory at kfab dot com, E M E.
R Y at kfab dot com. I'm gonna start with
the Louisiana Raging Cagns. Yeah is that? I mean? I mean,
come on, the Raging Caguns. How cool is that? Yep?

(16:20):
I'm gonna go with the Stetson Hatters. Stetson's a college
in Florida. You know, Stetson hats. They make hats, you know,
cowboy hats, Stetson hats.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, I've always liked that. In one as well, they're
the Stetson Hatters. Come on, Yeah, that's a cool combo.
The Hatters, by the way, good baseball school. Hopefully someday
they can upset their way to the College World Series.
I would absolutely buy some stets and gear number three.
The Benson Bunnies. I know that's a polarizing topic of

(16:50):
conversation around these parts about their nickname being the Bunnies,
and you know, their school not being good in athletics
and that kind of being one and the same. You
want to know what I say, The Benson Bunnies I'm
just gonna say it. Awesome nickname. And if kids don't
want to play on a team that's called the Bunnies
for any given reason whatsoever, the parents need to step
in and say, come on, son, this is one of

(17:10):
the best nicknames out there. And just because you want
to be a tough guy and you want to play
for a team called the Bulldogs or the Warriors or
you know, to Tigers or anything like that's super generic
like that, why do that when you could just be
a bunny? You know, a bunny did a lot of
damage in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I will
I will say that bugs bunny. I mean he terrorized people.

(17:33):
I mean, let's just let's just own this. Come on,
Benson Bunnies. And then my all time favorite, are you
ready for this one? By all timer? I wish they
had better gear because I would pay for it. Are
you ready for this? The UC Irvine ant Eaters. They
did play in the College World Series once or twice
if I remember correctly, The ant Eaters. The ant Eaters.

(17:54):
I love ant Eaters. I got to see some ant
theaters at the Barcelona Zoo. I put up a video
of them playing. That is pretty cool. I love those guys.
The giant anteater. What an awesome animal. We need more
ant theaters in the world. You see, Irvine, they are
the anteaters. In fact, I watched from play Basketball. They
were on TV the other a couple weeks ago, and
they were wearing jerseys that said eaters on it, you know,

(18:17):
like a shortened version just eaters. I mean, how cool
is that? So I got the Louisiana rag and Cajun's,
the Stetson Hatters, the Benson Bunnies, and the uc Irvine Anteaters.

Like the Whippets, I'd buy gear, you what, and greyhounds,
I'd buy gear. There's a there's a city in southeast
Iowa called Burlington. They're the Greyhounds. But you know what
they did. They misspelled greyhounds and I don't know why.

Why would they misspell it?

I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
I don't get I don't get it. It's what they
spelled with A. Yeah, but it's not an A. It's
g r a y hounds. That's how they all their
stuff says that. But if you're a if you have
