Introduction to 'Whipping Shitties'
00:00:00
Speaker
I learned a new phrase the other day. Grayson said, what is it? Whipping the shitties? Whipping shitties. Oh, like donuts. Yes. But I had never heard that phrase and Grayson said it a couple of months ago and just said it really casually as if everybody knows this term. And then I saw something the other day that was like, if you're new to Minnesota or whatever, and it explained whipping shitties.
00:00:23
Speaker
Remember when I used to just pull into parking lots and say, surprise donuts? And then we would do donuts. That was a good time. You know, surprise shitties doesn't sound as good. Yeah, it does. Are you joking? No. I need to get somebody a spare pair of pants and out of my car ASAP. I was going to say, surprise shitties sounds like something that I go through every couple of months and not have fun trick in your car.
00:00:51
Speaker
Where does this come from, though, for real? Because, like, donuts, the shape makes sense. It's cute. It references something fun that other people like. It's like a treat, you know, doing donuts. Doing a shitty or whipping shitties? Where does that come from? Like, what does that mean? Like, you're whipping poop? Maybe if you're pooping, it, like, whips it out of the car, you know, because you're moving so fast around a corner.
00:01:18
Speaker
Maybe that's probably the problem. Maybe donuts is too cute. It's not a cute thing. It's not this. If you've ever been in a car that's whipping shit is it's a far more. Propo. Descriptor. OK, I looked it up.
00:01:35
Speaker
I've looked it up and we're actually slightly all incorrect. Well, not me because I didn't know about whipping chitties until right now. So I'm going to exclude myself from this. Whippin' chitties doesn't mean making donuts. It's about leaving tire tracks from performing a donut. So it's like mud tracks in your underwear. You're whipping chitties. You're making tracks.
00:02:01
Speaker
I've never whipped a shitty then because I've never ever left Tyre behind. Jesus. Grayson, have you ever whipped a shitty? Frequently. It was really easy in my mom's minivan because they're very front heavy. So you just find a nice icy bit of road. You just got to like yank it hard and you get the you get the ass to kind of
00:02:31
Speaker
That was a really good tire noise. Thank you. Thank you. I studied at the Michael Winslow Academy of Vocal Effects. Who's Michael Winslow? Kate Winslet's husband? Yeah, and he calls himself Winslow just for like a fun little... You know, like I didn't want to take her name completely, but I took half of it. She allowed him to take half, is what it sounds like.
Podcast Hosts' Introduction & New Year's Traditions
00:03:08
Speaker
All right, welcome to my top everything. We're three best friends who never argue, who always get along, and who like to very calmly and rationally discuss our top three of a subject. And today we're doing top three worst baby boy names. But before that, updates, because I do have some questions to ask people, but I just remembered, so now I have to get to the spreadsheet.
00:03:36
Speaker
I was recently listening to our New Year's resolution podcast. We did. I know that people are probably going to be surprised to hear this in the podcast episode. We said that we were recording from 2024 and I know we were really convincing, but we are actually
00:03:58
Speaker
recording from 2023. And we made some predictions about our New Year's Eve at Niagara Falls that we were all going to spend together. Some of the predictions were that there would be one fight that did happen. One of the predictions was that we would do our annual boob nipple check. That also did happen, actually, organically. Oh, yeah.
00:04:22
Speaker
Yeah, so it was very funny to for me to listen back on that and be like, oh, wow, we nailed it. We all the all the fixings were there.
00:04:35
Speaker
sense of hanging out with your best friends. Mara, you were talking about miniature things in your life. You have that little Poppins donut thing. We asked if you would bring it to New Year's because in 2021 you brought a Poppins to New Year's and we had our big lapse.
00:04:53
Speaker
You said, no, you would not be bringing it to New Year's because you wouldn't be able to wait that long to do it. Have you done your Poppins donuts?
Mara's Donut Maker Story & TikTok Trends
00:05:00
Speaker
Did you do it before New Year's? I have two things to say. Oh, interesting. One is that I did think about it before New Year's Eve and I was like, I feel like the real reason I didn't want to bring it is because when I try to recreate things that were really, went really like hilariously in the past, like they never, never hits the same the second time. That's fine. And no, it's a stone cover.
00:05:25
Speaker
Great defense. I'm just glad we got to the bottom of the real reason. I think that's a perfectly valid reason not to. And I knew it. Yeah, I've thought about it twice this weekend.
00:05:39
Speaker
Well, you should you should do it before we post this video is that way we can put a picture up on the Insta of the mini donuts that you made. I have a question, too. Is it made of the same material that gummy bears are made of? Probably not, because this stuff sets a lot faster. OK, it's still that or like the gelatin content is like insanely higher.
00:06:04
Speaker
I'll look it up. I want to see if you, you know, the gummy bear things that people are doing where they put like a teeny tiny gummy bear in this huge vat of water with salt and then it grows to be like the size of your face. No. Oh, you've not seen this? Yeah. So these, so you can do it. It's just you grab a gummy bear, you put it in like a big tub. So like, I don't know, 10 gallons or something, and then fill that with water and you put a little bit of salt in and then the gummy bear grows and it sucks up all the water and then you can eat the gummy bear.
00:06:34
Speaker
It's so interesting, because I feel like you're on a different side of TikTok than Mara and I are. I'm 100% on a different side of TikTok. I'm very sure that Mara and I are on the same side of TikTok. I'm on farming, relationship advice, the cute little things, animals. I'm on the happy side of TikTok. I mean, we're on the happy side, too. I get animal videos. I cry at cows. Yeah. I get cat compilations, dog compilations. Vegan cooking?
00:07:03
Speaker
Sometimes, yeah. Yeah, because you said glimmers last time, and we didn't know what glimmers were. Still don't. Wasn't listening.
00:07:13
Speaker
Please, we're honest. Mara, did you check does your we have a lot for Mara, but one big one for Kara. Oh, no. Mara, does your debit card expire this year? Did you check? It does. Eleven twenty four. OK, just remember that if you manage to get it done beforehand, you get an extra bonus point to apply to whatever episode you want.
00:07:37
Speaker
Okay, I can't wait. And did you make your deep cleaning apartment schedule? Okay, no. No, I didn't. But I did plan out what, wow, deep cleaning didn't even make it. I have four main things I want to work on throughout the year. And I was like, cool, each one gets a quarter. Deep cleaning is not.
00:08:03
Speaker
One of those things. Any of those. It was a fake resolution. If you move, it's like, you'll deep clean, you know? I know, but I feel like, oh, I got to start that now. I guess I kind of did. I hung up a ton of shit yesterday and then I didn't throw much away. Just a couple of things. You organized it. Yeah. That's good.
Gym Stories & Missed Winter Solstice Events
00:08:21
Speaker
My question for myself was, is the gym busier in January? I was very excited to be a gym regular and then see the January boom. It seemed a little bit busier, but I feel like I don't go during the times that were probably busiest since I'm unemployed. I go during the day, like in the middle of the day, but even so,
00:08:44
Speaker
It was pretty busy. The interesting thing about the gym, though, was that the first time I went back, the power went out and I had two minutes left in my workout. So I tried to keep going, but they kicked me out. Also, Stel's so impressed that you kept with the regular schedule. I don't feel like I expressed that enough.
00:09:07
Speaker
Great job. Just wonderful. Proud of you, kid. Is this what a compliment is like? It just sends shivers down my back. That's crazy. Marion and Kara, both of us. So I guess this actually is a small question for both of us. We talked about how we both went or were going to go to the winter solstice at our churches. Did you go? No.
00:09:35
Speaker
Short answer, no. Short answer, no to me too. It was because I was in Des Moines for the 21st. And I got to see family every night of the week or whatever, because I'm only there every once in a while. So I had a thing with somebody that night, so I didn't go. OK. Yeah, mine was that it was at 5 PM in the valley. So that would have been like an hour of traffic to get there. So I decided not to.
00:10:04
Speaker
And it was only an hour long. How do we get that Australian listener back? I feel like they kicked off before they got to hear themselves be referenced a lot or something. I don't know what happened. I feel like if I were the sole American listener for a foreign podcast and then they kept referencing me every episode, I would like triple down. You listen to it three times? Yeah, I listen to it a lot.
00:10:33
Speaker
I might like email them. I don't know. Okay. And our last update question is for Kara. Kara, have you finished your headstand yet? Because you said January 10th. So haven't even started attempting it. Nope. You were supposed to do a headstand for our secret Santa party, but
00:10:55
Speaker
You said that you were going to dare me to or something by that point. I don't remember what the conversation was, but I have the whole year. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, the conversation was that you felt really cocky about how easy it was going to be. And then we started making jokes about how. Yeah, that's true. You'd be done by mid January. So haven't started yet. No, but I have been doing more yoga. So. Oh, yeah. How far are you on the 30 days with Adrian?
00:11:23
Speaker
Three? That I started seven days ago. I did a run one day. I'm trying to mix it up and do different stuff. I'm on day three of my 100 day sketch challenge. Dude, hell yeah. I am in day 10. Nice. That's pretty good though. My goal is just to finish them by the end of the year. I feel like daily it's too much. Ask for me.
00:11:51
Speaker
All right, should we get started? Yeah. I'll go first just to get the juices flowing. My number three worst baby boy name, it's just a category.
Unique Boys' Names: Trends & Criticisms
00:12:07
Speaker
It's any name that sounds normal, but you spelled it oddly like one different letter.
00:12:14
Speaker
Blake but B-L-A-Y-K-E or Boston B-O-S-T-Y-N. Anything where you want your kid to have an individual name that nobody else in the classroom has but it's still a name that somebody else in the classroom could have like Timothy with two E's and an accent over it.
00:12:35
Speaker
That's funny. I think honestly, it's super selfish because you're not actually thinking about the kid as somebody who has a name that can be frequently misspelled or like it has lots of different versions of spelling. It was the bane of my existence trying to correct somebody like you're not thinking about your seven year old kid who they're like, oh, Blake, great. And then he has to be like, no, actually, there's a why in there. And the person's like, where?
00:13:04
Speaker
Where is the Y? And they have to... At the end, Blakey? Yeah, like, what's your name, Blakey? And they have to put that in there. I just think it's a bad move. You're not thinking about your child. I don't know what you're thinking about, but it's not your child. This is good. I find all of those names to be saboteurs, like as somebody who can't spell to begin with.
00:13:29
Speaker
Just adds a whole nother X mode games sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. I think I just let people misspell my name. I'd just be like, it doesn't matter. My name is Blake and it's going to be spelled normally except when I put it on government forums and that's fine. I guess. Yeah. But for the first like 18 years of your life, your parents are gonna.
00:13:53
Speaker
Yeah, because you have summer camp and after school care and a field trip and all these things that you need to tell people your name for. Anyway, that's it. Just think it's an annoying thing to do all around to everybody. Also having to be the teacher. Imagine being the teacher and you've got a Blake, you've got two Blakes in the classroom, one's got the Y in it. You have to remember to put the Y in every time or any name like that.
00:14:23
Speaker
It's like all these extra letters, like the people who do Kaylee or whatever, or like whatever, or like, you know what I'm talking about with the girls where they put E I G H at the end of something that doesn't need to have that. Like Kaylee's not a good example. Yeah. Ashley. Yeah. It's just like, Oh my God. Why are you doing that to people? And it's not even I before E. So yeah, extra annoying. Okay.
00:14:53
Speaker
I love that reason, actually. OK, well, I'll go next. My number three is the name Diesel. So apparently it's Germanic in origin. But I just feel like if you need if you name a Gen Alpha Diesel, like they're just going to get bullied today. You know, like that's not cool. This is don't do it.
00:15:13
Speaker
This is part of diesel is terrible. Diesel is a terrible name, but this is part of a category that I have that I'll just do now that won't be part of my top three, which is names that are like hyper masculine things as well. So like diesel, axle, jet and gauge. What are you doing? Gauge. Gauge.
00:15:38
Speaker
Oh my God. I think we've all met one gauge. There's one gauge and why would you do that to a kid? You're asking them to be a certain way. I can picture every gauge in the world in my head. I can picture an axle. Axle is particularly offensive to me. You name them after... I know that it has origin just like diesel, but it's a car part. You name them basically after a car part.
00:16:04
Speaker
Yeah. You didn't take that one step further after you were like, you know what name sounds good for this? My baby. Axel. My baby. Actual. Actual. Wow. I don't know why. All those names just, oh, they get me. They get me. Jet. What are we doing here? I can't not picture, not Cora. What's Avatar when you say Jet. That's all I picture. That's where my mind went too. Yeah.
00:16:33
Speaker
Evil little boy murderer jet. Yeah. Little rebel. In a different world, I'd be supporting him. We like his end goal, not his methods. No.
00:16:47
Speaker
If you want to give your kid like a classic, like masculine boy name, why not go for like, I guess I'm just also offended. John Wayne's first name was Marion, so. Yeah, not a joke, but like a joke.
00:17:07
Speaker
I just think there's so many good Greek names like Ajax or Atlas. These are good. Atlas. Atlas is good. Atlas still makes me think that you're a bit presumptuous. Yeah, there's a little bit there, but I think it's still cool. I just don't think Axel or like Cash, why are you naming a kid Cash? Who's doing that? People. Why? And not because they're naming them after Cash. All of these names like have. Kashmir.
00:17:39
Speaker
No, I don't think they're real. I feel like that was a big just Mara moment where she like, she stopped listening for a second, went on her own train of thought and then said a word out loud and then instantly was like, uh, origin. Um, no. Okay. I looked it up. Cash is short for, and I'm going to say this wrong, either Cassius Cassius, if you have only ever read the name. Yup.
00:18:09
Speaker
But apparently it means vain. So you're also I'm going to like double down on this. This is a bad like you're not even giving them a good is Latin for vain. So why are you naming your kid cash? I really feel like people need to Google the name before they fucking put it on their kids birth certificate. Like just do a quick Google.
00:18:30
Speaker
I mean, like worse murderer is see if there's any weird disease like just men with with caches. That was Muhammad Ali's name. So that's kind of a cool namesake. Yeah. Hmm. I guess. I mean, our names mean bitter. So yeah. And I take offense to that. Yeah. As I should.
00:18:55
Speaker
Why are you naming me bitter? Would I change my name if I could? No. Okay. I don't know why I got so offensive. At this point, no. I think, you know, I tried to change my name when I was younger. I tried to give myself nicknames and get out of it, but.
00:19:10
Speaker
There's not really a nickname for Mara. The ones that you guys gave me, Mara, is the closest I've ever had to a nickname using my first name. That's why I feel about Cara. Same. Same.
Personal Name Associations & Dislikes
00:19:22
Speaker
There's no nicknames here. There's nowhere to go. No. The names I chose for myself were completely... They had nothing to do. They were Mimi.
00:19:32
Speaker
which is not related to Marianne in any way. And in fact, I discovered about two months after naming myself that a lot of people call their grandmas Mimi. So I got a sign for my birthday when I was 11. I got a sign that said, Mimi knows best. Wow, that's so good.
00:19:53
Speaker
Who gave you that sign? Like a friend, like just a friend who probably doesn't call her Grandma Mimi. Yeah, they were probably at Target, you know, with those like signs that you got involved in. And they were like, oh my God, it's Mimi, it's Mimi, it's Mimi. Yeah, and then, so I still have my, I have a whole group of friends who still call me Mimi to this day.
00:20:15
Speaker
East Coast people. DC people. Yeah, the DC people still call me Mimi. And then when I moved to Iowa, I said, I'm not doing Mimi again. That was like, I'm not naming myself after. So instead, I had a username that was C-U-P-E-T, which was the first half of my
00:20:40
Speaker
Like childhood cats named cupcake and then my best friend from Maryland her dogs, the childhood dog name was widget. So we made like a Neopets account together and called it cup pet. When I moved to Iowa, I was part of a like a
00:20:57
Speaker
role-playing board, like where you literally type things out. We all pretended we were wolves. And we would shorten our usernames when we were talking to people. And so people would first start calling me CU, like Q, but then they just changed it to the letter Q, even though that's not in the name. So then when I got to Iowa, I was like, okay, I'm not naming myself after a grandma. Let me start introducing myself as Q, the letter Q.
00:21:27
Speaker
So when I was 12, I didn't know that's where that came from. Yep. I, you all were there, got to witness. I don't know if Mara did because Mara was in Girl Scouts with me. So I don't think I went by my mom was like the leader, the true leader at every meeting. And there were like five of us total there. So I don't remember the queue. Yeah. I don't think she called. I don't think she ever called me queue. I think I was just Marion for you, but at Brody with Kara and everybody else.
00:21:54
Speaker
I was Q the first year and Jen's dad still calls me Q. Jen's still calls you Q every once in a while. Yeah, so those were my two...
00:22:06
Speaker
These are my two attempts at nicknames. They were both absolute failures. Wow. Isn't it fun how you can still learn things about somebody you've known since seventh grade? I know, right? Yeah, now you can start calling me Hugh. What was I thinking? I don't know. But great segue. What is anybody thinking naming their baby boy Greg? So.
00:22:30
Speaker
That's my number three. That is so true. That is so true. Just all feels, not a fan of that name. Is it just like the sound of the name or you know somebody named Greg that you're like, ugh, gross. I know a couple of Gregs. I feel like it's so common. Greg is like a pretty, yeah, I think Greg is, I'm trying to, I think I have one Greg that I know that I was a fan of. Wasn't the guy in our D&D group more? Oh, that Greg, that Greg's not in this namesake. Yeah, that Greg is the exception.
00:23:00
Speaker
He is amazing. Imagine like calling a three-year-old Greg. No. Gregory. It's like a weird. It would be Gregory. Even Gregory. Also like Greg, it sounds like Dregs. It sounds like, you know, something like a creature that like woke up in the morning with its hair. I feel the opposite. I feel like your child is destined to be an accountant and nothing else. Yeah.
00:23:23
Speaker
like boring computer dumb yeah okay now you're talking about a specific Greg no no I'm not I just you know I would never
00:23:41
Speaker
Name a kid dot. Dot. I would not name a kid dot either. That's no. It should be on the list. Devin's middle name is actually Gregory. I don't know why I didn't put that together when I was putting this list together. Devin is my brother. That's so funny. Why is that his middle name, do you know? Zero idea. That has zero familial ties. Oh, interesting. That I know of. Because isn't it, it's English in origin, right? Who could say it?
00:24:12
Speaker
A name that didn't make my list, but I think is very close to Greg. That's actually kind of like a degree worse. You can agree or disagree.
00:24:21
Speaker
Craig. Oh, you would put Craig. I have a couple of Craig's in my life that I really love. So like I don't have like negative. I feel like you're, I feel like your lists now that we've done baby girl and baby boy, they're very associated with like people. Like if you've met a couple bad, bad eggs, that name's dead to you, but it is. It's about to get
00:24:47
Speaker
Spicy up in here. I just feel like Greg and Craig. The more offensive part about Craig is that it's not spelled like how it sounds. So like there's a part of me that also wants to say Craig all the time.
00:25:02
Speaker
And at least Greg is spelled correctly and there's some type of symmetry there with the G's. Greg is just like... Greg looks pretty, like the name. Do not name your kid Craig. I will lose it. I feel like you like the name Craig and it's starting to worry me. Her camera blinked out.
00:25:21
Speaker
I don't know if anybody else saw that, but Marianne goes, don't do it. Mara's camera suddenly faded out and then came back in. So it looked like she was like, I'm not going to say yes or no. She's like, oh, sorry. There was a technical issue. I didn't hear you. Can't make any promises. I was trying to mute myself so I could take a drink of water so you didn't have to edit that out later. That was nice of you. That's considerate of you.
00:25:47
Speaker
My number two is also a set of a category, which is names that have an L in them but they end in Dalton, Landon, Holden.
00:26:04
Speaker
I don't like those. I don't really have a reason. There's no reason. I don't like it. They don't sound real specific. It's just like it's just they all sound. I don't want to say they sound trashy, but to me, they're like trash names like and again, I'm not talking about people. I think everyone here always gets a little like worried because like they're thinking about specific people. If there's somebody listening here and I know that name like you, I know you like it's not about you. It's not about you.
00:26:34
Speaker
You know, I'm just saying that it's not your parents decisions. It's just like Holden Especially like what's going on there? What is that? It's not even really like a name Is it the is it the oh and I feel like the commonality is not the L in the end. It's the O in at the end Oh Cara, this is an e n not a no n which one Holden
00:26:56
Speaker
Well, the person that we know that has a baby named Holden spells it. Oh, no, they don't. They spell it in. Yeah. And I am including I didn't I was thinking about the name before that. And then I even went on to their Facebook to be like, oh, is this the baby's very cute now because the baby's like three going on for. Oh, my God. He's very cute.
00:27:22
Speaker
his name shouldn't be Holden. That's just my opinion. It's a weird name. Like, it sounds like Holden on I mean, it's from like the only Holden from catcher in the rye Holden Caulfield. That's it like that. And I think that's a weird. I feel like it's sort of like 50% you know how people are naming their kids like
00:27:42
Speaker
like meadow and a trendy thing. It's kind of like halfway to that. It's like not quite committing to that trend, but like almost. No, Kara, it is. These are all like influencer baby. Holden is a huge influencer baby name. Oh, really? Yeah. And I think that also makes me annoyed because it's like,
00:28:02
Speaker
doing it for the vine, kind of. You know what I'm saying? It's not like you have a connection to... Well, I don't know. For our specific people, I don't know if they have a connection. I'm not talking about them. I'm just saying, in general, I don't think people have a connection to a name like that. They're just doing it because it's a little unique, it's a little different. It's that baby influencer trend that we're in. It's like a trendy name, and it just really annoys me because I don't think it's a real name. It's just... Are there trendy names that you do like?
00:28:32
Speaker
Archer. Yeah. Oh. And Atlas. Atlas is a very trendy name. And then who's that other book? What's that A name from To Kill a Mockingbird? Atticus. Yeah, Atticus is popping around. That one's great. I like that one. That's a good one. Yeah, so there's lots of trendy ones that I think are okay or like have, or there's classic, like Bo. Bo is a completely trendy name. I have to actively think about how to spell Bo.
00:29:00
Speaker
Yeah, it's EU, but I love the name, though. It's also like a classic old name. The thing with Holden is it sounds like it's an old name, but it's not like that. I think that's what it is. It's just it's fake to me. It's fake. And so is it fake? Like, what's the do you know the origin? I'm assuming it's old, like an old because I would assume it's like on the same lines of like Robert or why isn't that name on my list? Oh, my God. Fuck.
00:29:29
Speaker
It's English, Holden is English in origin. So it's, so Holden is an old English. Yeah. That means Valley, but it was originally a surname, which makes sense to me and gained popularity from JD Salinger's catcher in the rye. So it's like a made up. It's like a made up name, basically.
00:29:49
Speaker
that didn't have existence until Catcher in the Rye. And unless Catcher in the Rye is your favorite book, people believe that the reason he's named Holden is because Call or Caulfield, like the root of it comes from, I don't know, Woom or Placenta or something. I can't remember. And so it's the idea that he like Holden, like literally holding onto that childhood. So like, I don't know. It's just weird.
00:30:16
Speaker
I don't I just don't believe that people who pick that name have really. And again, I'm not talking about the people we know. I'm just saying in general, like I have no idea because it's so general. I'm just saying that, like, no, because Holden is on a lot of influencer lists. This is not anyway. But also I would put in general, I would put the category of like Dalton Landon. I don't like any of them. I think I don't know why that the L and sounds
00:30:46
Speaker
I don't like them, I just don't like them. I do think that Dalton is one of the more annoying names. It's a very annoying name. It's a bit ich name. I think Landon too, Landon, like, ugh. I think because I know a Landon, I don't feel that way, but I understand. Yeah. That's the thing is like names are so tied up emotionally with people that you know, so it's hard to... It's hard if you need a Landon that you like and you're like, wow, that's a neutral or a fine name, and then you need a Landon you don't like, and you're like, fuck that name. I would say I've never met a Landon.
00:31:15
Speaker
So it's not tied up. Were you not? Land O'Lakes, Landon. Yeah. Land O'Lakes? I don't know what she might know. It's like Cara's, basically like my stepbrother. Facebook. I know that you know a Landon or have a Landon. Karen's kid or somebody else? My stepdad. Oh, I don't know. Maybe met him once. But to me, that doesn't leave an impression enough to judge whether or not a name
00:31:44
Speaker
Like to me, I don't have any emotional holdup with Landon Dalton or Holden. I haven't really met Holden. See, I said it wrong. Like I don't have any, I don't know any personal except for baby Holden who I've never met. But and probably would be a net positive because I think the baby is really like cute. But yeah, to me, it's just like these are all names that I don't know, but.
00:32:07
Speaker
I just think they are. Yeah, the sound into my ear is not pleasant. Those names are neutral to me. I feel pretty strongly about Dalton. I was going to say Dalton. Yeah, Dalton really, I don't know why. I think it feels like a football player that couldn't quite get to even college. He made it through high school. He got a letter jacket, and he thinks he's hot shit. And then he goes out into the real world and just... Poor baby.
00:32:38
Speaker
I don't know about this. When I picture the name, that's how that is like a pretty strong emotion that I've always, even since like there's a Dalton in like our second grade, I think. And I always was like, this name is not my favorite. Yeah. I mean, I agree with you.
00:32:58
Speaker
on the Dalton part, not about imagining a man's life. I like how when I said the accountant thing, you guys were like, yeah, yeah. And then when I said the Dalton thing, you guys were like, no, no, no, that's too far. One is way more sad than the other. I think also the football one, it was almost like, it's hard because you don't want to get like classes. Not that you were getting classes, but I think I rode the line of like,
00:33:24
Speaker
Am I picking names that are, like, maybe more associated with, like, stereotypical, like, white trailer trash names? Like, do you know what I'm saying? Like, to me, Dalton and Landon, like, both have that, like, again, sorry, you know a Landon, I forget this, but, like, to me, they just have that vibe to them. So, maybe,
00:33:50
Speaker
That's where the discomfort for me. Yeah, too much picture. Yeah. I was like, Oh, this is too close to the, yeah. Well, I was trying to avoid. Yeah. Fair enough. Okay. Well, moving on to my number two, uh, worst baby boy name is the name Zuma.
Unusual Celebrity Names & Cultural Implications
00:34:06
Speaker
And I found this online, basically Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, who I don't, do you know who that is? No. Okay. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale named their child Zuma after a beach in Malibu. But what they didn't know is that Zuma is also the diminutive of an awful gastrointestinal condition. Classic.
00:34:30
Speaker
I just, again, that would have been like a quick little Google, you know, to just avoid this GI tract problem being your child's name. Did she's also the one that named her first kid Apple, right? That's Gwyneth Paltrow. Oh, man, same.
00:34:46
Speaker
copy-paste situation there with those women. Or not. The... Zoomy? Zumba? Zuma. Zuma. Zuma though, yeah. Zumba's a good one. It's kind of like naming your kid Gastro or GI, I guess. I mean, Crone. What if somebody named their kid Crone? Yeah, it'd be like that. Crump.
00:35:07
Speaker
I think Crohn's actually, I wonder if Crohn's disease is derived from a name. Yeah, sure, like a last name. Capital C. Did you see that they're trying to, they're going through a bunch of the little animal and like microbial discoveries and they're like removed, if it was named after the person that quote unquote discovered it.
00:35:26
Speaker
They're renaming it so that that discovery isn't tied to one specific person when it, you know, takes thousands of people to. That's really nice, actually. Yeah, I love it. It made me really happy. That's cool. Some other celeb baby boy names that I don't like. Sir. Sir? Sir? That's Beyonce. I think that's Beyonce and Jay-Z. Oh, man. How could she stay with that man?
00:35:54
Speaker
I mean, maybe she liked it. I don't know what either of them were thinking. Maybe she was in the throes of labor and just like was so muddled, you know, by everything that was happening that he was like, what about Sir? She was like, send it. She goes send it while pushing.
00:36:18
Speaker
One more baby. And then Jay-Z was like, first try all by myself. He fucking would. Yeah, I don't know. I just, why would you do that to a child? Now his teachers, everyone, think about the people who have to call him Sir. No. Like what kind of, I feel like he's going to have such an inflated sense of self being called Sir.
00:36:45
Speaker
Or confusion over what his name is. My mom is named Mary. I'm Marian. That caused a lot of confusion for me when people would ask for one or the other because a lot of people mumble, Marian. Imagine people are saying, sir, all around you as a child, but they're not talking to you.
00:37:07
Speaker
Yeah, because like people it's it's not like Sir is some random kid in like Des Moines, Iowa and people aren't saying Sir a lot. This is like Sir is growing up in a family where a lot of people are going to be saying Sir to Jay-Z and talking to Jay-Z. Yeah, that's a good point. Like it's a weird thing. It was very weird to me.
00:37:31
Speaker
I have always had that thought about really common names like John or Dale or Craig or whatever. And there's always going to be like three or four other kids in your class name that. Or like if you're out in the world and somebody is like, oh, hey, John. And then there's five of them on the subway. You know, it's just like why I don't like that people would name their name, their kids really common names either. I feel like that would be confusing. Yeah. Yeah. My.
00:37:59
Speaker
second worst baby boy name in my opinion are uh the bulk of names that start with b so bradley brad brendan brandon annoying brian no bob bob which is part of robert
00:38:20
Speaker
Yeah. But I had an Uncle Bobby, so I don't know if that one's on the list for me. You too. You're so wrapped in emotion. There's so much emotion here. It's kind of tied with people's names. It's my Gemini moon sign. Thank you. I don't know if that's real. I don't know. But I think my moon sign's in Gemini. You just have a feeling. I've got a vibe. I haven't looked it up.
00:38:44
Speaker
I did look it up one time because somebody asked me. What does that even mean though? Like, does that mean that you are a Gemini? She just shrugged. I just want everyone to know she just shrugged.
00:38:56
Speaker
I just like to say these things. Just to get a rise out of people because that's what happened. Or like an eye roll. I like the idea of blaming things on a moon sign that I just choose to. That's my Scorpio moon sign. I'm so sorry about that. I'm a Sagittarius rising moon.
00:39:14
Speaker
Yeah, if only if only I was an Aquarius setting, everything would be easier. I feel like you could get away with saying shit like that in L.A. and people would actually. This is a good category. Mostly I know that you love Brendan Fraser. I just don't like thinking about Brendan versus Brandon. I don't think it's a good name. See, you see how easy that is, you guys? I don't think it's a good name.
00:39:40
Speaker
I don't mind, Brandon Fraser, like Brandon Fraser for the person, not his name. He could have been named Axel Fraser, and I would probably like him just the same, though that was hard to say for me. Braiden, Braiden, I think goes in this category. Spell it B-R-A-Y-D-E-N. These D-E-N names, oof, they get my blood pressure going.
00:40:08
Speaker
You know how I almost named a dog Noosh just to piss you off? This is giving me lots of good ideas. Oh, yeah, no. Yeah, ruin your kid's life. Wow, as the ants will step in. We got you, little future baby. Oh, apparently Braden can also be D-O-N. Ew. Oh, that's how I spelled it in my list. Braden? Yeah, B-R-A-N-D-O-N. Oh, no, you're saying Brandon.
00:40:37
Speaker
I'm saying braid and B-R-A, which apparently I just looked it up. One out of every 10,000 baby boys born in 2021 were named Braden. That seems like too many, but I guess I don't know. Population's only 300 million. That can't be that many. Only for now. Yeah. Like how many baby boys were born last year, for example? At least 12.
00:41:02
Speaker
No idea. I have zero idea of the birth, death rate, population. That's a good point. Like how many baby boys were born in the US last year? Isn't the population like nine million here? What? Nine million? Oh, no. Nine million people? No, that's not enough.
00:41:25
Speaker
No, it's not. There's like at least nine million people in L.A. Nine billion in the U.S. Are you saying nine billion people in the U.S.? I clearly have a great idea. About three point five million births each year, approximately. OK, so let's do the math. Three point five million. So let's say half of them are boys. That's one point seven five million divided by 10,000. What's that? One hundred and seventy five. Braden's in the world.
00:41:54
Speaker
Only 175? Yeah. That's not a lot at all. What a unique little name. No, no, don't say that. There's going to be an influencer who listens to this. Yeah, let's hope so. That would be nice. Yeah, please plug us and we're fine with you naming your kid Braden. As long as it's not Holden, I'm on board.
00:42:16
Speaker
So that's like the number one worst baby name it sounds like. See what your number one is. No, I've got my number one. I've got my number one. Okay, let's go to our sponsors. It's time.
00:42:35
Speaker
I'd like to nominate MLK since it's MLK Day. I assume that we don't have any. Are you saying that Martin or Luther is a good... Oh, no. I was thinking about how it's nice that I have a Monday off to do this recording. Oh my God.
00:42:57
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. Um, Martin Luther King. Thank you so much for your work and your sacrifice to give care. I didn't think before I said it was zero filter. Number one or the number two or the number three, what are you putting in? Okay. I'd like to retract my proposal. This is going in for sure.
00:43:23
Speaker
No, no, no. I forgot how the system usually works, and I was just on my own little planet, and then I didn't filter. I think Martin is a great name. I think Luther is a great name. And I think King is a great name, for the record. Junior. Yeah, and Junior. Go for it. All right. Our number three sponsor is Grayson. Thanks. Our number two sponsor is MLK Day. Oh, my god.
00:43:53
Speaker
Thanks. And our number one sponsor is Elon Musk's baby boy name. I don't know how to pronounce it. Oh, I think it's pronounced archangel, but look it up. It's a bunch of symbols. It starts with a Z. Does it? I think I thought it started with some like math symbol. Isn't that an illegal name? I want to change my number. I want to change my suggestion for
00:44:22
Speaker
No, I like it. I like it. We are thanking Martin Luther King Jr. for his very important work that gave us. Oh, X.A. Yizai. You know, this is actually the second time Elon Musk's baby has sponsored this podcast. Well, he sponsored one that will never be shown to the world. So I thought I would do it again. But I love that you know that. I love that you remember that.
00:44:50
Speaker
sign up for our Patreon to get exclusive access to that episode. Yes. That was our very first episode that we ever recorded. Elon Musk's baby did sponsor that. He's a he's a regular listener. He's a patron of the arts. Twelve XA. I think it's actually twelve arch angle arch angel. I can't even say it. Arch angle. No, it's arch angel.
00:45:13
Speaker
is it archangel though or archangel? archangel probably archangel i think it's archangel i think he's i think this kid's name is 12 archangel but if you look at it starts with an x and then goes into like a a dash xii but there's like is there a number in there no but there's the dashes and the e is like that math e do you know what i'm talking about like it's not a regular e
00:45:39
Speaker
It's weird. There's 12, but XII is 12. Right. Because he's Archangel 12. Oh my God. Jesus Christ. If you like us and you care about us, share us with a friend who you think might enjoy us. And you don't have to tell them you know us either. You can just be like, I listened to this podcast, unrelated, like no reason. I found it all on my own, not because my friends begged me to listen. Yeah, or they sent me four different links.
00:46:06
Speaker
across two months. Yeah. Like this is just something that I organically think is great and I'm not doing it out of pity. Like I really like this show and that'll sell it for the person I've ever given you the pitch. Like this is going to be super easy and then just link the episode you think is best to somebody who could become our number one fan. All right. Back at it. Back at it.
00:46:35
Speaker
It is time for our number one worst baby boy name. Now, when I say this number one, I want you to be thinking of regular people.
00:46:52
Speaker
Named this. Not the famous person named this. Because I think this name ended up fitting for the famous person. But imagine everyone who's been named this after. Elvis. Bad. Bad.
00:47:11
Speaker
It's a bad name to name a baby boy. What are you doing? Elvis is even a weird name for Elvis Presley. It works. It's also weird when you look up the meaning. Well, not the meaning, but the origin. It's like a Scandinavian thing. And then you start looking at it and it's like, it's kind of very close to the word elves. You know, it's got like an elf thing going on. It also sounds like a very old man.
00:47:34
Speaker
Was his real name Elvis or was his stage name Elvis? No, his real name was Elvis. And then he had a normal middle name. But his his real name was Elvis. I mean, like, if you think about it pre Elvis, I think this is a fine like 1880s
00:47:53
Speaker
name for a man, right? Like I can imagine a ton of Elvises running around. That's a funny sentence to say. Ton of little Elvises running around and they're like, Elvis, you get over here, boy, Elvis. But Elvis changed that. And now it's like, that name is tainted. And you're also like, what are you saying about your child when you name them Elvis? Like, unless you have a very strict
00:48:22
Speaker
like Scandinavian heritage origin and your grandfather's father's father's was named Elvis or your grandfather was literally Elvis Presley. Like I'm not sure what you're doing. That's fair. Yeah, no argument for me. That is a terrible name to name a child.
00:48:43
Speaker
I think my number one has very similar vibes. My number one is Adolf. And this was super common, obviously, until Adolf. Yeah. But I have a little story associated with it and I can't hear the name Adolf without thinking about the story. So I listened to the audio book version.
00:49:06
Speaker
So I, what did we say it was? Auto-booking. I auto-booking whatever. Marianne has a problem with people listening to books and calling it reading. So I audio. It is reading. I just want to be clear. Yeah. It is a form of reading in the sense of like, if you were on Goodreads or if you have a list of books you read in 2024, 2023, you should always put the audio books in there, right? Like I'm never going to say like, you didn't read the book. Like obviously you read the book.
00:49:34
Speaker
Just saying the verb, just saying the verb when you're talking to people. But you read it via audio. No.
00:49:43
Speaker
You listen to it. You listen to it. It's called Good Reads. Yeah, but in that sense, read is a noun. Yeah, you're right. Like, tell me some good reads. Yeah. Yeah. You're not wrong. I just think we need a verb that encompasses what it is because, like, listening to something is not the verb reading. Like, just like how Grayson pointed out on a previous podcast, like, nobody reads our podcast. It's the same thing, like,
00:50:10
Speaker
When you're listening, you're not physically reading, and it's confusing to me. My eyes can wander. When you are audioing,
00:50:19
Speaker
When you were audioing, I think we just need to make it a thing. That's how language works. We're just going to make it a thing. So when you were started here. So when I audio booked, I like audio books better. Um, Trevor Noah is born a crime. It's about how he grew up in South Africa during apartheid. It's pretty hard to make money when you're a black kid in apartheid. And so he had, he could make mix tapes essentially. So people started asking him to come do
00:50:45
Speaker
events and stuff like a graduation or a birthday party or whatever. So he would come and he would do like DJing. And then he got invited to do a Jewish kids bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah, whichever one a boy does. And they invited him to come do the DJing and he brought a few friends and none of the people were dancing or singing or anything. They were just kind of like sitting on the side and he was like, we got to liven this party up or people are going to think that I'm a bad DJ. And he brought his friends out onto the dance floor. And so they started dancing these guys because they were trying to get everybody else to come join.
00:51:14
Speaker
And then this, his friend named Adolf, which I'll tell the story about why Adolf later, he started dancing and everybody that was friends with him started going, go, Adolf, go, Adolf, go, Adolf. And then they got kicked out of the spot because this Jewish group was like, what the actual fuck?
00:51:31
Speaker
Oh my god. So it turns out that in South Africa at the time people would name their kids powerful names. So whoever was like a powerful person regardless of what they did or you know they didn't know probably like why
00:51:46
Speaker
Adolf Hitler was a bad dude at the time. How could they not know? Yeah, South Africa, you know, like apartheid, you don't have a lot of news, poor, you know, poverty, whatever. And so this guy, this person named their kid Adolf because they were like, we want to emulate like a powerful person. That's brutal. Oh, my God. So I think in parts of Africa, that's still a common name. Does Trevor Noah, did he record his own audio book? He did. And it's very good. He does his mother's voice and it's very good.
00:52:15
Speaker
His voices are really good. That's sweet. I like that. I might listen to that then. It's a great book. I learned a lot about apartheid through it. Yeah. I didn't know as much as I do now, so I'd recommend it. It's a good book. My number one worst boy baby name. None of you will be surprised. Also... Devon? Rooted in emotion. Oh.
Hosts' Name Histories & Cultural Associations
00:52:42
Speaker
And...
00:52:47
Speaker
What's your dad's name? Ron. Oh my god, I've never heard Ronald. I can't handle that. It's Ron. No, why would you? My dad's name is also Ronald. No, it's not. Yeah, his first David. No, no, no, no. My grandpa's name is Ronald. They named my dad Ronald as well after him. His middle name is David and he went live. Both my parents go by their middle names. Yeah.
00:53:13
Speaker
What the fuck? What is your mom's name? Victoria, right? Victoria. She went by Vicky when she was a child. Weird. I know. I think it kind of fits. I think she should have stayed with Victoria, but it's fine. Like, I wouldn't pick Mary over Victoria, but... I like Victoria. Also, both their parents decided to give both their kids two first names.
00:53:39
Speaker
I think that was common. That's usually how middle names work. I know that we're different Mara, but most people like Kara just get like a first name as a middle name. Not everybody does what our parents did to us. Oh man. Anyway, so my dad's name is also Ronald technically. I feel like you've told me that before and I don't know why that didn't stick.
00:54:01
Speaker
You're just, it's a lot of lore. You know, that happens, I had to ask Amanda something when I was visiting her that I was like, can you remind me of this? Because I know we probably talked about it like 20 years ago, but it's been 20 years and like, I think I have an inkling, like I have a vibe, but I don't actually remember anymore. Yeah, like Kara asking, yeah, you asked Amanda what her mom's name was one time and then she answered Sue, which is your mom's name. How did I never know that? Oh my God.
00:54:31
Speaker
Anyway, most of the I like wrote four names down and there's not really a category. So I'll just stick with two of them. But like Michael and Thomas. Well, I'm excited for Anna to listen to this.
00:54:45
Speaker
So, yeah, what's your beef with Tom? What's going on? What's your emotional reason? I'm my very first job. I just worked with a Thomas that left a sour taste. You really like if a coworker does you dirty, they're going to end up on the podcast as a lot of coworkers. A worst baby boy name. All the four names I wrote down are all people I've worked with. So why Michael versus Thomas? Why are these the worst? I just why are they the worst compared to your other names?
00:55:16
Speaker
I just don't like them. I think you just start with people. You like sat down and you're like, fuck worse baby boy names. Top three worst guys that I hate. Let's just put their names down. Yeah, actually, you know, last year I went on a couple of dates with this guy named Bradley and then he never
00:55:38
Speaker
He just ghosted me out of nowhere and I was like, okay, bye. Well.
00:55:46
Speaker
I think negative one points for that. Yeah, negative one. Thank you. Yes, agreed. Mars not winning this. The other theme I was considering going with was the biblical thing. I just don't think I would ever choose a name rooted from the Bible, which I feel like it would be hard to find a name that isn't tied politically.
00:56:10
Speaker
but like the arch, Archangel Michael, and then like the Apostle Thomas, Peter. Yeah. Paul, Mary. I think Mary as a boy's name, M-E-R-R-Y is cute. Mary. I think that child would be bullied. I feel like you're putting happiness on them. You know, like a little bit of bullying. I think it's kind of tough as you both. Can we just go back to what Mara just said? What'd she say? She said, I feel like you're putting happiness on them.
00:56:43
Speaker
Well, actually, I think I did for baby girl names. I think I actually did say that that was messed up to call your kid joy or hope or faith. So yeah, it is kind of. I just love that it's this idea that you can't insinuate that they're happy. No, you're telling them they had to be happy all the time.
00:57:02
Speaker
I don't think that that's a good boy name. Well, I think that a little bullying about your name is, it's good for the soul. It is. Yeah. You know, Bill's character gives you a good snappy one-two back. Yeah. You have to learn how to defend something that maybe you don't totally believe in. And I think that's an important skill. Yeah. As somebody who does that like every day. As an early politician, I believe. Yeah. You want Mary to be a politician. That's the way to go.
00:57:28
Speaker
I wanted to do an honorable mention. I did ask Matt yesterday in the car. He asked what the topic was when we were driving. I told him the topic. I said, what do you think is a bad boy name? And he had a very good one. Oh, Matthew is an apostle, too. Yes. So what was Matt's? It was Chad.
00:57:52
Speaker
I almost put yeah the Chad Brad like that same vein but I was like I'm gonna stick with just bees cuz I could name enough Chad has such a it's kind of like Karen at this point in the culture like you can't really name your cat like you can't name your kid Chad yeah
00:58:08
Speaker
It feels like it's just a standalone name, but it is short for names. And I can't remember what he guessed it was. He was wrong. But I had two guesses and I was right about both. My first was Chadwick. I was like, where is this coming from? But I'm pretty sure Chadwick is an actual name. Is that a first name? Yeah. And then I was thinking also about Charles. I was like, it's probably just Charles. But when I looked it up,
00:58:35
Speaker
Charles Chadwick Orr, and this one was my favorite, Chadrick.
00:58:42
Speaker
And I do kind of like that as a name, Chadrick. I think that's a hilarious thing to name a kid. That is like the ultimate frat boy, Chadrick. Hey, Chadrick. And I wish that Chad didn't have like the connotation that it does, because I do think that Chadwick, there is something like very like old British, like something about it that I do like. I did think that it would be funny if like Brad and Bradley, what about Chad and Chadley?
00:59:11
Speaker
Imagine if Chad Lee were a name. You can make it happen. I can make it happen. My poor child. Is it Chad Rick with an R or Chad Wick with a W? Both. So the one that I guessed that is correct is Chad Wick with a W. The one that I think I wasn't expecting that I didn't know was a thing is Chad Rick with an R. Interesting. Yeah.
00:59:36
Speaker
And I think Chad Rick with an R is the funny frat one. And Chad Wick is kind of like this polished old English. Yeah, Rick, Dick. You like Richard, Rick, Rich, Dick. Is Rick, is your Rick, Kara, named Richard? Or what's his name? Chad Rick. I have no idea. Yeah. What if Rick was short for Chad?
01:00:05
Speaker
I would only call him Chad. Like his real name wasn't his full name wasn't on the wedding night. I'll text right now and I think it's just Rick. OK, let's do an update. What's Rick's full? That's my mom. What's what's Rick's full given name? I'm going to bet right now that Rick is like a version of his middle, his middle name.

Speaker
I'm just going to go with Richard. No, I think I know his middle name. It's not his middle name. Yeah. But what if it's like my parents where they switched it? So I think that I'm telling you it's not though, because I know his middle name yet. No, I'm saying like I also knew my mom's middle name growing up. I thought her name was Mary Victoria. And then one day she was like, actually, it's Victoria Mary, but I changed it.
01:00:51
Speaker
And my dad, same thing, I thought was David Ronald. It's Ronald David. And he does our David when he does his things. So what if you think you know Rick's middle name, but actually he switched them? Yes. Did your parents introduce each other like when they met or they going by their current names? Yes. Because how cute would that have been to be like, oh, my God, you also go by your middle name. You know, like such a cute little. That is cute. That's how you know your soulmates. What's Rick's middle name?
01:01:20
Speaker
He doesn't like people talking about it, so I can't share it. See, I bet that's his actual first name. You ask, you ask, and see if maybe it was his first name. I'll see. I also ask, what's Rick's given name? And I will ask if I can share it on the podcast. And ask her, is Rick's middle name? Was it actually his first name? And he switched them. OK. I think people our parents' age, I'm sorry to think that that's just the thing. I think that's unique to your parents. No way.
01:01:47
Speaker
If I had, if I had had a real middle name, best believe I would have been using it other than Marianne. Like I was desperate for it. You know what I'm saying? Like I would have. I do. One time when like I played softball for like six years and everybody had a nickname, right? And then so I made my nickname, Hey You, like how depressing is that?
01:02:08
Speaker
So my little visor said hey you Which like what like? I feel like you're gonna name any kids Nicknameable names. Oh, yeah, that's absolutely. Oh my god, and their middle name isn't gonna be a last name. So Yeah, they're gonna have options. They're gonna have they're gonna have a bailout. Yeah, they're gonna have a Victoria Mary Ronald David situation and
01:02:38
Speaker
Nice. Tara Eileen. Yeah, I've never thought about going by Eileen. Yeah. Yeah, my name was almost Catherine, so I would have been a Katie, which would have been awful. Oh, that's not giving. You ever wonder, like, if our names were different, would we be friends? Like, honestly, like, I'm trying to imagine. Like, I was almost Elizabeth.
01:03:04
Speaker
But I think that would have worked. I probably would have been like a Lizzie. I would have, I would have found like a really weird. Yeah. Like Bitzi. Bitzi. I would have been Bitzi. Bitzi. That would have been cute. I don't know what other names my parents were considering. You should ask. It's a very weird conversation. What were your boy names? If you were a boy, did they tell you? I would have been George, but they would have called me Jordy.
01:03:33
Speaker
Which I guess is like some Nick name for George. Yeah. Yeah. Is his full name George? I don't know because his email signature is Jordy. Ask him.
01:03:44
Speaker
No, we're not. We ain't like that. It's a pretty like okay question. It's not like a very intimate question. It's just out of the blue. I haven't talked to you in two years.

Speaker
Hey, here's the thing is I want to give Kara. Tell me what you think about this Mara.
01:04:04
Speaker
Because I also thought about Adolf or like other bad names, but I thought that's a cop out. Also, no one really names their kid anymore. It's like illegal in most places. Yeah. And so I want my inclination is to give Kara negative one for this completely easy out, like number one, worst baby boy name. I'll defend myself and say that I had a story to go along with it. And that's why I did it, because I feel like this
01:04:34
Speaker
this topic can go really quickly. Like it would just be like, Michael, yeah, that sucks. Yep, that sucks. And so I was trying to find ones that had a little bit of a backstory. No backstory like Adolf.
01:04:49
Speaker
But you can't. I mean, it's a better backstory than that was a bad dude. I agree. Maybe we could do negative half point. But let's see what Mars. I feel like it needs to at least be a half unit of a story which made it mildly amusing. And it was a story that happened within the last like 40 years. Yeah. So there's people in Uganda named Adolf. So I lived in a country where it's still. Yeah. And maybe it's not illegal there. I just know it's illegal in most states. I'm pretty sure. I thought that was just a German thing.
01:05:17
Speaker
No, I'm pretty, I think she might be right. It's illegal in Germany, Malaysia, Mexico, and New Zealand to name Adolf Hitler. Can I name my kid Shrek? All right, Google. Sure you can, but it'd be a horrible thing to do to a defenseless child. See, that would have been a good number one, Shrek.
01:05:38
Speaker
Ooh, that wasn't a list I looked at. No, I was like, no, I can't do that. That's my man. That's my boo. That's my boo. I like that you gave categories, Marion. Plus one for names not spelled normally. Yeah, that was entertaining. And I'll give Kara a plus half point for coming up with a story around Adolph.
01:06:02
Speaker
That's the only reason I put it on there. Neutral. Wow. Well, sounds like Marian's the winner. We've got to collaborate. Maro won the last one. Maro won the last one. Yeah. With a last minute Hail Mary talk about her bodily functions.
01:06:26
Speaker
That was kind of the theme. That's a good way to get a point. Talk about shitting your pants. I'm assuming that's what it was. I had to scoop poop into a vial earlier last week. So do I win this one? No. No, I win. I've also done that. Not cool. Ew. Give me a point. I've got crones. Everyone knows. I got to go whip some shitties. So you can decide which version I mean.
