Well, a reporter has revealed the ten names that have
seen a significant decrease in use over the years. And
the word is that these names are going to be
virtually extinct now, and I'm going to reveal them here.
These are names you don't probably hear anymore. Dale is one,

(01:41):
Neville is one. Gary, not too many Gary's anymore. Roderick,
you know, which you would shorten to Rod, I guess, Galvin, Sheila,
it's kind of an Australian sort of a name. Brenda,
you had a cousin Brenda. Not too many Brendas anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yes, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Lauren is not a name that you hear much anymore.
And Karen Karen. Nobody wants to name their daughter Karen
anymore because that's become like a pejorative for a pleasant woman,
I guess. But here's where we get to the tenth
name that's nearly extinct, and it is Glass. Yeah, what

(02:34):
do you think about that?

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I know, I know, I'm the only one in the
building of there's two hundred and five people in this building,
and I'm the only one with the name Gladys. So
when they say glad they all know who they're talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:49):

your mother Hattie Harriet, by the way, that's another name
you don't hear too much anymore, why she named you Gladys.

at that time, in the nineteen forty three. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:13):

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I've been called that before.

Speaker 2 (03:18):

man in Detroit. He was on the radio and on TV.
You might remember. His name was Jim Maddis, and yeah,
they called him the mad dog, Jim the mad Dog
Madis And his mother's name was Gladys. And they always
used to talk about Gladys Maddess.

the name Gladys is going away. And also, did you
hear yesterday they're not going to make pennies anymore as
of yesterday, or more minting pennies.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I have a whole can of pennies. I don't know
what to do with it.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
You can still spend them, but they're not going to
make them. But I think you ought to take them
over to Meyer and dump them in that machine. Can't
you do that at Myer?

Speaker 3 (04:33):
I was thinking about that. Yes, No, Kroger's has a machine.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Meyer has it too, And you can get more of
the things you want most at Meyer.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I always stop at Myers.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
At Meyer, you get more of the things you want most,
more local produce, more home decor more free prescriptions. You
get them all for less admire Why would you pay more?
You know what you could do is take all those
pennies of Meyer, dump them in that machine, turn it
into paper, or put it on your debit card or whatever,
take it to fire keepers and make something.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Always. I have a bunch of silver penny silver coins
in another container. I'm going to take over there too.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
That's another thing. You know. You don't have to have
coins at the casino anymore because you put it all
in your card, or you put cash in the machine.
No more of those, however, you'd have to have those
fantastic cups with all the coins in it.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh yes, that was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (05:33):

if you want to mark your calendar, that will be
the eighteenth of December in downtown Lancing and the nineteenth
