Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I found a list of celebrities who have different real names,
and some of the people on the list will shock
you what their real names are. So we're going to
start with Peter Peter Jean Hernandez. Can you guys guess
who this is? Peter Jean Hernandez.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Said earlier, I've known Aran.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
I'll tell you who it is.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
It's Bruno Mars, and I'm going to give you a
little context. Okay, Bruno Mars, his real name is Peter Crazy.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Is that true?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
It is? It is true.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
He picked Bruno because he was a big, fat wrestler
and he was a chubby baby, So that's why he
picked Bruno. And then he picked Mars because a lot
of girls kept saying to him he was out of
this world.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Wow, you know what, that's what he likes, you know, Peter.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
That's crazy, I know, isn't that? He does not look
like a Peter, not at all? Right, He's a Bruno.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
And his real last name is Hernandez.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I heard he doesn't do interviews much because of his height.
He's very chiny. He's conscious of it. Oh yeah, an
amazing talents.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
For it in talent, all right, Another one that you're
going to be shocked with Megan Markle.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Oh. Her real name is Rachel.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Well, what's wrong with Rachel Rachel? Megan Markle she goes
by her middle name.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
She goes by her middle name. Don't some people do
that because someone took their name already, And like the SAG.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Could be there's no reason why great actors goil.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
We had Bobby Kelly in and he told us that
off the air. He's a comedian. He was on last Friday.
He goes by Robert Kelly. And that's because when he
got into SAG, there was already a Bobby Kelly. So
now he goes by Robert Kelly.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
So it could be right.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
So, the same thing happened to Emma Stone and recently,
I think it was last week she came out and
said that her real name is Emily and the reason
why she changed it to Emma because it was already
taken by SAG.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Okay, that did happen to her. It might not pay
you you exactly, but the Megan Markle to Rachel is
not like Bruno to Peter.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
So you know Reese Witherspoon, you know you love her
iconic actress.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Her real name is Laura Jean. Oh she is.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, I thought that was kind of shocking. I never
knew that because I love her. Jamie Fox not his
real name. His real name is Eric Marlon Bishop, Eric
Jamie Fox, Eric Marlon Bishop.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Jamie is Eric Eric.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Is there a story behind why Eric?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
There is?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Actually, he explained the reason for the name change. When
he was getting started on the stand up circuit. He
noticed female comedians were so rare that they would always.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Score a slot.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
So I went to the list and wrote down unisex
names like Stacy, Tracy, and then Jamie.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
That's why he.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Did it, so he could have been Tracy Fox exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, but it worked, right? What up is Jamie Fox?
I'm hanging with Billy Costa.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
All right? Another one, Calvin Harris. We play a lot
of his songs. His real name is not Calvin Harris
at all. It's Adam Richard Wiles.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Adam Wiles is now Calvin Harris. Is there a story there?

Speaker 3 (03:27):
But yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
He says, my first single was more of a soul track,
and I thought Calvin Harris sounded a bit more racially ambiguous.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
He's not wrong.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
No, Remember the last time he came to the jingle
Ball I think our kiss concert, least with Billy. Here's
another story behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Calvin Harris wasn't going to talk to anybody he heard
I was here.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
He said, I want to do the interview with Billy Costa.
Why would I lie? I mean the tape is that
you just hear Jamie Fox? Yeah, well it's it's It's
it's Adam, right, Adam Calvin Harrison.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Adam's Adam. This one I couldn't believe either. Brad Pitt.
His name is William.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Is it like William?

Speaker 3 (04:11):
He's a Bill.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
He's a Bill William Bradley Pitt. And more people, he said,
more people thought he looked like a Brad than a Billy.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, that's simple, look like a Brad. Okay, that's where
I'm going to spend the rest of my life.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Is Brad Well, it is his middle name?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
It is Yeah, yeah, but he's a Bill. And I
think a lot of parents do that. They might they
might give the kid, you know, a middle name that
they could go by. I know, for us, my son
is named Abel after the Weekend. But we thought, you know,
we love the name. He might not, so his middle
name is J, so he could go by a J,
but he doesn't. He goes by abel Ah. Yeah, but
AJ is an option. Totally same thing as Oh, you

put a lot of thought into it. We did. Yeah, yeah, AJ?

You want one more? Yeah? All right.
