Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh you have an interesting email here from a p
one that wrote us about a weird situation they were
in and it all involves a nickname. Oh yeah. Not
a big fan of this nickname. Not really sure what
to do about this. Uh yeah. The email says, Hey, guys,
I love the show. Been a p one for over
a decade, while I have to ask you, guys, what
(00:23):
you think of this situation. I am in. I've been
seeing this girl for about seven months now, and a
few weeks ago I met her family for the first time.
Things were cool except that her except her dad. He
was fine, but decided to give me a nickname. My
name is Dustin, and out of the blue, he just
started calling me Bustin Dustin. Oh my god, that's awful.
(00:48):
Like the whole time I was there, everything was bust
and Dustin. I asked my girlfriend about it after and
she said her dad is goofy and always gives everyone
a nickname. While I've seen him a couple times since
and he has continued to call me Bustin Dustin. God,
I truly hate it. It makes my skin crawl every
(01:10):
time he says it. I mentioned it to my girl
and she told me it was funny and then not
let it bother me. But it does, and I'm not
sure what to do now. I feel like Sky would
do this to her daughter's boyfriend. Please help p one
Bustin' Dustin, oh man bo Ruchel. Everybody knows that guy.
(01:34):
You know, Hey, Busted Dustin's dear, What are you doing
Bustin Dustin? Dustin?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Why do I find a rhyming nickname? So like fun
and funny?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And because you have been that person for twenty five
years that I've.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Known you, anything that rhymes do try to make anything wrong.
You've done some nudy petudi.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Everything's rhymer. But it's like you love this. Old women
do this.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I mean it's like an old person thing to rhyme name.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Okay, nice, Well would you do this till bust and Dustin?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Daughter starts dating it look at him.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, I don't know, Like it would probably take a
few meetings for me to bust the nickname out to
his face, huh. But behind his back when I'm talking
to my husband or when I'm talking to my daughter, that's.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
The only name I will use for him like one.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
So I think it's I think it is a bit
much that the dad's doing it to his face already.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I feel like I feel like you got you know.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That guy though, Oh I know who comes over and
he's gonna start calling you this and that's no, that's
your name. Now you're busting Dustin for the If you
marry this girl, you will be busting Dustin forever.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Like if Dad gets up at the wedding to give
a speech, he will refer to.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
You as I remember the time he met busting Dustin.
It was a great.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
What or just start calling him busting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I hate nicknames for myself.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I don't want people to call me nicknames. My name,
my name is, My real name is Tyler. So my
wife will struck trying to call me tie and I
do not like that. And when people call me tie,
I don't like it. I asked him not to do it.
And then she'll call me t to my friends, to
her friends, and that's even more annoying.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Really, you don't like tea.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
So apparently behind my back she calls me tea or
tie to everyone, but to me. She'll never do that
to me because she knows I hate it. I don't
even like this she does to my friends. Her and
Emily will text and say like tea or tie and
I hate.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That, okay, I mean it doesn't even affect you, what
does because it's about me.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
So if I was this chick, I mean this dude,
I would tell my girlfriend, hey, you got to talk
to your dad. I really make it a situation. Yeah,
I would go to him and say, hey, I'm not
going to say to him. No, no, you say to
your dad. If you're the girl, you go to your
dad and say Dad, I don't like the nickname because
you just he doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
He's whatever about it. He doesn't care. But I don't
like him. You make it about you fall in the sword.
You have to like that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You have to because you can't say he doesn't like
the nickname, because that insanity.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So you fall on the sword?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Uh yeah. I was walking down the hallway earlier this
morning and one of the other DJs pointed at me
and goes, what up big Eie Big is that you? Now?
I looked around, like, am I big e Big? Is
it big b I g space e?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Or is it Biggie like Biggie small like big space
capital e like the wrestler.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, okay, so I'm big e now. No, No, of
course not. Eddie likes being called Eddie. Yeah that's my name.
Yeah okay. And and we're not tight enough to where
you can give me a nickname. You can't Sky, I
don't want it, but I mean you can, you can.
You've earned your time. Yeah, but I don't know this
guy that well. I mean, we're we're cool, but I mean,
(05:37):
what's up big ee big? What did you say to him?
I just kind of gave him the you know, you're
annoyed by it. I think I think he got it. Yeah,
you know, like like you got to earn a nickname.
This guy just met Dustin. You're just first meeting, you're
busting dust. And also that's a terrible nickname. It's awful,
(05:57):
get it right. I love it just because it rhymes.
You like it? Yeah, So if he were to say, oh,
what's up Dusty, which is kind of a derivative of dustin,
but not okay? Are you okay with that?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I mean, honestly, you know me, I'm very non confrontational.
So if the parent of someone i'm dating, someone i'm
trying to impressives me a nickname, I just.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You're gonna own it. I'm not gonna start calling you.
I'm not freaking air.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I don't know what they call freaky air.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, freak air. You'd be like, hey, whatever they call me,
friez hair. I feel like that's your real name is Laurie. Yeah, well,
if they were lour Glory.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
There was because my real name Lorraine, Oh god, there
was Lorraine.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The drain.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's a good one. The rain not a creative school.
What does that even mean?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
The rain?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
The das drains all the fun out of everything? Is
that what it means?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Well, I die, but that's what we need.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I don't know if we need to. So you don't
like that nickname, right? Loraine, the drain, the rain, the pain. Yeah,
that should be well.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
And then the song was out at the time.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Blame it on low rain. That's hilarious. That's that's Let's
say that you met the Boo's dad back in the day. Okay,
you walk in and he goes, oh, blame it on
Lorain every time, every time, every time you come in.
Blame it on Loraine. You cool that. I love that.
(07:31):
Hey here she is. Blame it on Lorain'.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
That's my life. Like that's so stupid and crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
At least blaming on the rain is funny. Yeah, that's
the kind of get the idea.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah, Like I would be mortified and cringe probably the
first twenty times, but.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
After that sing along, I'm like, I'm like, this is
my life.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
The other partner.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Next year for Halloween, I dress up as Millie Vanilla.
I'm gonna this is my life, my life.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Okay, So let's say this is you. You're giving the
nickname to your daughter's boyfriend, and your daughter comes to
you and says, mom, you gotta stop with the nickname.
It's terrible. Like are you gonna be able to stop?
Or do you feel bad? Or like what do you do?
How do you react to that?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I'm disappointed in my daughter, like this.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Is in your flesh and blood. She should love bad
nicknames like you.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Do are taking ourselves so seriously, like what were you
the president? Like we can't have a silly rhyming nickname?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Who is this? Who is this?

Hurt?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
If you? If if she said he doesn't like it?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
She'd be like, we're gonna be with this wet rag
on the rest of sky is.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Not gonna like whoever her daughter brings home. So I
think we can all agree on that. Well, he's gonna
be okay with her living there exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Yeah, Oh yeah, yeah, don't you get it my way exactly?
So yeah, Like if she was in all seriousness, I
would definitely judge her and be like, you're not cool,
And then I'd roll my.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Eyes, what did she think? That's kind of cringey?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
And I'd be like fine, But then I would still
a zillion percent with my husband, Like that would be
the guy's only.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
You can't help yourself. Oh no, he's still busting dustry.
