Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tell them.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Yeah, they talk better than the excited. Tell me about it.
These are the radio blogs on the Fred Show. Obviously,
if you're listening now, you'd be listening in about an
hour and a half for the fun fact. Today's fun fact.
He's about the pope. That's right, Papa Francis, Papa Francisco too.
It's about our audio journal is like for writing in
(00:21):
our diaries, except we say them aloud. We call them blogs.
Chason Brown, take it away.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Thank you, dear blog. So I've learned that this has
become a debate and a point of conversation in meetings
that I'm not in here at work about what people
call me, okay, And somehow the nickname of JB has
like taken another life that I never asked for. Like,
(00:46):
no one outside of this building, like my family never
called me that. Okay, I don't have friends outside of
this building, but if I did, and my previous friends
never called me that, And I guess they got brought
up in a meeting of like, oh, that's JB. And
someone referred to me as Jason because that's my name,
and they're like, why you call him that? Like it
was like a whole debate and point of contention. So
(01:08):
I'm like, Okay, I never asked anybody to call me this.
I'm fine with it.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I don't really care. But like, do.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Nicknames are they supposed to like, are you supposed to
tell people your nicknames or do they just come organically
like this?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And now I just have to roll with that. By
the way, side note, if you're listening and you have
a second eight five five five three five, I would
like to know what your nickname is, especially most especially
if it's embarrassing, and in addition, if you didn't necessarily
want it to be that right, that's another thing. It's
like JV's not bad. No, it's like pooh bear.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
If you had an explosion when you were little.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Tell us about that, Klen, I was really.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Sick when I was a baby, and I'll save you
the details. But poo bear is not for Winnie the Pooh, Okay,
And that's what my dad's called me since I was
Oh yeah, there was an explosion of some sort.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Wow. JB's better than Poobert, so JB. And so how
do you feel about it?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I mean, I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I mean I'll answer to anything. I prefer the hammer better.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I mean, I don't think you're going to say in
your own nickname, like I think other people decide it
for you.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Unfortunately, it's fine. I prefer bathroom didler, whatever you call it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Last hour, Yeah, yeah, I didn't call them that. Yeah,
the diddler, I like it. You guys, have you know
the story about the Luxury Summer Camp that my parents
they tortured me by imprisoning me at the Luxury Summer
Camp in California for a couple of years, And you know,
I hated it, and I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot
(02:27):
for a lot of things I did when I was young.
But I don't know. It was it was a psychological game.
It was it was it was Mike Guantanamo. But anyway,
the counselors there all had nicknames, and it was like,
I guess a similar process to the way that like
fighter pilots do it. I guess they get they all
got drunk and then they gave each other nicknames. But
I can't remember specifics, but most of them sounded benign
(02:49):
but to kids, but were actually like really filthy. Like
I'm trying to remember an example, but like in retrospect,
I'm like I can't believe that. As kids, we were
like I don't know, like I think one name was
like Creamy or something like that, and it's like it
was like, oh, because he likes milkshakes or something. No
that that or she no, that wasn't why. But like
(03:09):
what I mean is they all that's what we called
all these people that worked that they all had Like
Spanky was one of them. I guess he was into
some stuff in the in the bedroom. But my whole
thing was just the parents must have been like, Mike,
this is Mike. I'm leaving my kid for a month
with Creamy over here. I wish I could come up.
(03:29):
I wish I remember more examples, but like they all
had these names and they were all filthy, but it
was like double on timera kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, I feel like I don't call anyone i'm.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Close with like their their government name.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
And I feel like I now I'm more aware of
that because I do that too. Like I walk in
a room and just start giving people nicknames.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
People don't like that, Arnie, Yeah, I'm arding that people
do not like that.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Like I came out like yeah pee yeah, kay uh huh, Freddy,
like that's not your fame.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I don't know if you're cool with that, are you okay? Well,
I will say it's a guy who goes primarily by
a nickname. It is a very common question that I
get when I first meet somebody, well, what would you
like me to call you? And it's kind of a
complicated answer. I don't have a straight answer for that,
because Fred was an endearing nickname, Like I didn't make
it up. It's part of my last name, and I
was called that as a kid and it was a
(04:15):
bad story that became a great story, and so it's
not disingenuous to call me Fred. But then you get
into the Christopher Chris game, where do you want to
be Christopher or Chris if we're going to go that direction,
And my answer is always, well, because you asked, I
don't really care. But if my mom is around, it's
got to be Christopher because that's what she named me,
(04:36):
and she doesn't like Chris. But if you just willy
nilly call me Chris, and one I don't know you,
and two you didn't ask, well, no, it's Fred to you.
Or what I've also found is people that don't know
me real well but want to make it look like
they know me real well, we'll call me Christopher in
front of other people, because for some reason that makes
(04:56):
it like they like they're one step closer. And I'm like,
only know that because I just said it on the radio.
I don't know you you know what I mean? Like,
have you become Rufio in most aspects of your life? No?
Just just just here, just here at work.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Like no one calls yeah Rufi yeah right.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And for new listeners, it has nothing to do with
salacious you know, evening activities. No, it's just short for Rufeo,
which was given to you by Richelette because you we
got the character from Hook, right, yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Oh, it was actually given to me by the guy
interned for Mac Who's thought. I thought that because you
guys look alike kind of right, because I had red
mohawk at the time, and obviously feel the character from
Hook had red hair.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
So yeah, m.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Do you guys give people nicknames that you like have
no contact with, Well, actually I know you do because
we sometimes.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Get like ho bag yeah well yeah, or.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Or victims or hips oh yeah yeah yeah what I
it would be like you know, here come big boots.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I never called anybody thick them. Well, I wouldn't mind
having that.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I give everyone a nickname, even if they don't know
about it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
If you want to call me sick them, you're welcome
to That might help my street credit. Hey, Christina, Christina,

What is your nickname? And why?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
My nickname in high school was CPK for Cabby pet
Kids because I have a baby, and some of my
friends picked the name and they just kept CPK.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Okay, all right, fair enough, it was it was because
you had a baby.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, no, I had a baby.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Faith they called you that because you had a child.
I'm like, that's gotta mess up. Okay, say well, thank

gang or anything, and I was probably known as the
nicest guy in high school, but I had a call
of duty account. My name was Shady's back and there

There was a guy uh in a fraternity at another
my fraternity at another university, and I went to a
party there and everyone kept calling him cook can cook
(08:28):
can like uh like a like a can of Campbell soup. Yeah,
and you can imagine why. At first, I'm like, why
do they call you that? And then it was like, oh, okay,

think his last name was it doesn't matter. Ashley. Hi,

substitute teachers skit, you know, where it's like uh a
Ron Ron and all the rest. It's like Leon, right,

Jason Brown has a nickname JB. And it's just it
(10:38):
just happened to him. He didn't get any vote in it.
What was your nickname?
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Not necessarily a nickname, but when I was born, I
guess there's some things going on that my parents didn't
get my name on my birth certificate. And recently I
found out my birth certificate just as baby girl, and
I laughed because that's what the lady's the regular cast
here Target Car called me every time I go in.
She goes, baby girl, how you doing today? I laughed,
(11:06):
and she goes, why do you think that's so funny.
I said, you're the only one that knows my legal name.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Your legal name is baby girl.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Yeah, my birth certificate, so not necessarily my legal name.
It was corrected with baptism and Social Security, but it's
been a challenge getting a passport.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I was going to say, what do we put on
your baby baby girl?
Speaker 7 (11:28):
You know, baby girl and baty girl of my maiden name. Wow, Wow,
it's no but I mean, it's kind of sad. My
parents died about years ago, and right before my dad died,
he was trying to get it fixed. I guess it
was they had some type of disagreement with the name Elizabeth,
because I'm named after an aunt that one of my
parents didn't like that the other one was very close to.
(11:52):
So even growing up, my name's Elizabeth Anne, and my
mom refused to call me Elizabeth, so everybody called me Anne,
and I got she's that they only do that because
you're too stupid, that Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Okay, well, my baby girl has a good day for me. Okay,
good And it wasn't Paulina, She's not here today. But
it wasn't it like they wanted to. They wanted it
to be she or Martin wanted it to be Pauline. No,
Paulina she wanted.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
But the nurses took it like upon themselves to put
Pauline because there's a street.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Pauline, because it's a street in Chicago that spelled the
same way, and it was announced paul right exactly, so everyone,
so the nurses were like, everyone's gonna screw this up,
so we're just gonna make it Pauline. You don't get
to choose that. Jennifer was called bully, Kim was called pistol.
Michelle was called fetus, oh big al Ali or the terminator, okay,
(12:49):
god Bertha, but Kujo, I'm going through the text here,
Jenny from the block people used it. I don't think
you know, you know, you know I got k bay
from her. Chris, Oh yeah, yeah, my youth. Did you
have any kikey? I mean you obviously that's not your
Your name is Makeitha. But Makeitha, and no one ever
(13:10):
calls you that.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Uh yeah, everyone in high like high school teachers Makeitha, Makitha.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
But now, kekey, I don't even answer to Makeitha. Where
did that come? Did you just make that up on
your ear, just like we're shortening it.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
My parents did, because can you teaching your child to
spell makitha.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
That's torture. Yeah, oh yeah, no yeah. I'm like, when
I was my name is Christopher. When I was a kid,
I'm like, why can't it be tom Oh they got
to be eleven eleven letters in it or whatever. And
for the longest time, and I would fly Southwest, it
was too long, so it just said christ They changed
it so now it's like Christoph, Christoph, you know it

substitute teachers skit, you know, where it's like uh a
Ron Ron and all the rest. It's like Leon, right,

Jason Brown has a nickname JB. And it's just it
(10:38):
just happened to him. He didn't get any vote in it.
What was your nickname?
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Not necessarily a nickname, but when I was born, I
guess there's some things going on that my parents didn't
get my name on my birth certificate. And recently I
found out my birth certificate just as baby girl, and
I laughed because that's what the lady's the regular cast
here Target Car called me every time I go in.
She goes, baby girl, how you doing today? I laughed,
(11:06):
and she goes, why do you think that's so funny.
I said, you're the only one that knows my legal name.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Your legal name is baby girl.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Yeah, my birth certificate, so not necessarily my legal name.
It was corrected with baptism and Social Security, but it's
been a challenge getting a passport.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I was going to say, what do we put on
your baby baby girl?
Speaker 7 (11:28):
You know, baby girl and baty girl of my maiden name. Wow, Wow,
it's no but I mean, it's kind of sad. My
parents died about years ago, and right before my dad died,
he was trying to get it fixed. I guess it
was they had some type of disagreement with the name Elizabeth,
because I'm named after an aunt that one of my
parents didn't like that the other one was very close to.
(11:52):
So even growing up, my name's Elizabeth Anne, and my
mom refused to call me Elizabeth, so everybody called me Anne,
and I got she's that they only do that because
you're too stupid, that Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Okay, well, my baby girl has a good day for me. Okay,
good And it wasn't Paulina, She's not here today. But
it wasn't it like they wanted to. They wanted it
to be she or Martin wanted it to be Pauline. No,
Paulina she wanted.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
But the nurses took it like upon themselves to put
Pauline because there's a street.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Pauline, because it's a street in Chicago that spelled the
same way, and it was announced paul right exactly, so everyone,
so the nurses were like, everyone's gonna screw this up,
so we're just gonna make it Pauline. You don't get
to choose that. Jennifer was called bully, Kim was called pistol.
Michelle was called fetus, oh big al Ali or the terminator, okay,
(12:49):
god Bertha, but Kujo, I'm going through the text here,
Jenny from the block people used it. I don't think
you know, you know, you know I got k bay
from her. Chris, Oh yeah, yeah, my youth. Did you
