Hey, I just thought in my head, my friend I mean, I'm not trying to date myself or anything, and I don't really care about age, aj, nothing but number. Pretty sure Beyonce had said something like that at one point in time in her career. Somebody liked that anyway. And but you know, when the kids have kids, one of these days I'll be a grandpa, I suppose. Right, owen? No, I think that's how that works. Yeah, I feel like that. I think so. Anyway, I just feel, like you know, I want something. If they name one of the kids something, it has to have a sound in it. Like you know, they have to. Like you know, if they're going to go for an X, but not maybe they put a ZX in front of it. I feel like that's how American, that's an American thing to do, isn't it Is to take random names, mix them together, or maybe we'll name, if they have a daughter, I hope to God they name it Champagne. What about Fifi Trixiebell?
Speaker 1:
Who the hell were what's?
Speaker 2:
the real person. Aw, poor Fifi. So what's the story behind Fifi there? Did you just know the name? Kind of deal, or what man.
Speaker 1:
Um, the name is Bob Geldoff's daughter. Who's that? Um, what, you had something to do with Pink Floyd. I believe I heard a singer song right there in political activism. Oh yeah, I think he played. I think he was in the wall. Oh, pretty sure that's it. But yeah, his daughter, fifi Trixiebell. One of his daughters.
Speaker 2:
Yeah Well, what's Kurt Cobain's daughter's name? Isn't like Bean Francis Bean?
Speaker 1:
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:
Yeah so that's comparable. So these are kind of like names that don't either fit well, maybe they're not very well thought out and it doesn't even have Like Clittis apparently is it boy's name. Clittis, yes, clittis. In what dimension? Let's move on. Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1:
I did see something. It was like yeah, names that might get your kid made fun of. Hold on Barnaby. All right, barnaby's cool if you're solving crimes in Yorkshire. Yeah, you know it's fitting. It seems like a Barnaby.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, or if you plan to have a career in like cartoon animation or I don't know, like fuck, I don't know. Barnaby Geez, that was dated yeah.
Speaker 1:
Lancelot, lancelot, I knew a kid with a cat named.
Speaker 2:
Lancelot, that's okay. That's fine, though. Okay, a cat named Lancelot is very appropriate, right? Yeah, yeah, that checks out. Yeah, that checks out. All I know about the story of Sir Lancelot is he's basically trying to bone his best friend's lady. So I don't think that's a very honorable name, but that's just my opinion. Yeah, dropping knowledge on. I tell stories, sorry.
Speaker 1:
Anyway, what about Derfla?
Speaker 2:
Derfla. Okay, did you look up the origins of any of these Like? I mean, is that like a, some sort of name, that like from some odd tribal group that we're not familiar with? They're not even odd, I mean just a different.
Speaker 1:
I'm unaware. We're not trying to make anyone name this. Like you know, colton, I have unique names. My name is Colton. I got made fun of a little bit. I just stung back on it and be like.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, valid point there, my friend, as we move on, um, as we move on here, like your name's Owen, right, my name's Colf. Okay, why don't you give an example of how your name was a problem when you were growing up and I'll be a problem, or you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:
like, yeah, I mean, well, this is my call and it's like okay, bill Thomas. So I used to not like it because it's unique, but now every time I get a compliment on it Love looking lady, I can like you know, I love your name. I'm like good job, mom. Yeah, no, it's a which. I guess she thought about naming me Percy and I, man with black, like one of the two, are black and British.
Speaker 2:
Dude, that's a thing, and we all know this. Yeah, prudence sounds quite British and, like you, destined to own a Victorian era furniture shop at some point, or you're very prudent with your funds and I suppose how you allocated them to keeping your cats.
Speaker 1:
Girls whose names start with crude though that's like yeah well, nobody thought yeah you know I don't go to dude. That seems like the lady running the spelling bee.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, it could be, and also Gertrude may stand the test of time. I mean a good old Gertie. You know whether it's a fucking train or a bridge named Gertie, or you know a woman, it just it seems to reappear throughout history. Gertrude's a strong name, bro. You know you don't want to fucking bad and I had a Gertie.
Speaker 1:
What about? You know that's like. Don't be a unit, say mom Billy will stop being a unit is Eunice right, a unit cycle?
Speaker 2:
Oh, I'm just curious and I'm not. You know it doesn't matter if she has clown makeup on or not, but nonetheless, you know it's a cycle man. You know this is an odd one. I wonder what the origins of that name are. We might dig into that before that up this episode's over my friend.
Speaker 1:
Well, I just be hyacinth. This is a bulbous spring blooming perennial, and yeah. I don't think, people, you should name your children after anything bulbous. If you can help it.
Speaker 2:
Yeah if you just thought right, hey, you know you know things. Sometimes I like to dig into stuff. You know I'm saying have you ever, have you ever been curious about something? And then you just start like digging around in a little bit. Well, I happen to think of like, well, what the fuck is kind of an odd name for somebody to name their kid in the United States. So one of those names in the US I was thinking was well, gandalf. You know, it's kind of a funny name and there's the Gandalf pipe, which I understand when it came from the Lord of the Rings and all these things. So it looked up like how many people may have the first name Gandalf in the United States, the only thing that it really says do you find it's interesting? Sure.
Speaker 2:
Yeah okay, just just just, you know anyway. So it's kind of funny to me that, uh, there it. There was actually five occurrences of the first name Gandalf in the United States in the year 1970. The only other time where it appears is in 2018, where there was less than five is all they can say about this, this survey, and Wow, yeah, so Gandalf's out there. Hey, you know what, dude, if your first name is legitimately Gandalf, okay, and you listen to the show, I want you to message us on the Instagram. I tell stories, okay, and I will give you a shirt. Are you cool with that, owen?
Speaker 1:
Absolutely yeah. Shirt for Gandalf.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, just show me your idea or something. All four of them. Yeah, yeah, fucking a dude. And then, yeah, gandalf sitting, you guys take pictures and stuff and send them in. It'll be a fun thing. You know, maybe you guys smoke weed and you have a Gandalf pipe. Maybe that could be a cold smoke. Promote, promotion, as if your name is first name is Gandalf. You know you, you maybe get discount on Gandalf pipes. But ask me on your fucking ID guys.
Speaker 2:
Okay, government issue you know, yeah, so I'll be trying to play no games around here. We keep our shit real. Hey, you got any other Eunice style names? I?
Speaker 1:
Know about Eunice. Eunice kind of stands on its own like a unicycle remember George just stands as great names on oh okay, beloved Seinfeld. He suggested that I think it was his fiance's cousin's name, their their baby soda. Why? Because he's George. And then she says how much they hated it and he says you know, well, of course not for our child. Our child will be named seven. And. And then then her cousins wind up, they love it and they want to name their baby seven. And George is furious that they're gonna steal his name.
Speaker 2:
Dang. Yeah, that's a thing, hey wasn't albundi's. Later on kid named seven.
Speaker 1:
Yes, yeah, the later.
Speaker 2:
Hey, hey, you know it's funny. Yeah, you know it's funny about that. Real fast, as I asked the wife, nicole, she I was like what's like a weird name for you is when we're talking about this shit, and I was talking about Gandalf to her. You know she was so interested by the same but like nonetheless, not like anybody really should be, that's yeah so. But she said Tuesday Was an odd name and that is actually. There are people named Tuesday in the United States and it's most popular in Alabama. That's all I could get on it and All right, yeah, but I believe that she actually grew up with a girl name, or well, at one point in her life, when she was younger, there was a girl named Tuesday that lived in her neighborhood. So there's a weird name that I probably you know she may go by her middle name if she has one. I don't know, you know, at this point in her life.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, what about Igor? And that seems like. You're wanting your child to either be a mad scientist or specialize in medieval torture right.
Speaker 2:
But that also depends on where you're from, bro. Like out here in the PND, we got us like quite a few like Ukrainian and Russian, all those types of folks you know, and Igor is probably relatively common, just like Vladimir is very common. Russian Vlad is like a Very common name over there. It's like Thomas or some shit, which, by the way, you want to hear a fun fact about Thomas real quick? That I just thought of as I said, that I Sure, okay, my friend, um Thomas, okay, we all know who Judas is in the Bible.
Speaker 2:
Bible correct, like most of us do, anyway, I would assume, if we speak English, maybe. But, uh, so Judas, uh, in Jesus' disciple group there was actually two Judas's. Uh, two Judas's. How do you say that, bro? Dual-judi, dual-judi. I love that. Dual-judi, dual-judi, so anyway.
Speaker 2:
So here's what happened, my friend. There was two Judas. So, uh, the one, jesus, cause he's a funny guy. He fucking called the other one Thomas, what I'm just saying. I think Jesus had a sense of humor, people, I think he would. I think he would think all you fuckers are nuts and I don't even give a shit, like I really do. He seems like if he was a real guy in the way he's presented, he's probably pretty nice, anyway.
Speaker 2:
So the second Judas to the group he called Thomas, which is like fucking Latin for twin, and that's all it means. And then also, like when that happened, it became like a biblical name, in a sense that like when, um, churches or like, uh, monasteries sorry, I'm searching for the word monasteries would be uh, accepting priests and such, which was very popular during the medieval times, a lot of royalty went to these places. Anyway, when somebody would come in with the same name as somebody who was already there, they automatically were named Thomas From that point on. So that's, yeah, there's a Thomas, that's a name fact. I tell stories for life. Anyway, what you got for me, bro, anything else.
Speaker 1:
Another biblical name, biblical name Dorcas. How, I don't know, but that seems you'd have to be pretty bitter about creating life to name your child Dorcas.
Speaker 2:
Well, penis us right.
Speaker 1:
How about Mildred, like it sounds too much like Mildew and and like it's old fashioned in the 1500s.
Speaker 2:
It is. Yeah, I knew a girl when I was growing up that lived in our neighborhood, whose name was Mildred, and she's actually pretty cool. She was nice, but I do tend to agree with that Mildred, uh, uh, a session.
Speaker 1:
Bartholomew too, like either going to be a counter in Earl. Yeah, there's been a lot of time at the comic book store.
Speaker 2:
Yes, all these things. Bartholomew Sharp was a famous pirate. Yeah, okay, yeah, there you are, arrrrrrr.
Speaker 1:
Mortimer, mortimer, mortimer is a good one. If you own a castle Like, that's quite appropriate but, otherwise, yeah, probably not.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I feel like Mortimer would be like a servant to the guy who owned the castle, like Richard would own the castle. Oh, that's true, that's kind of something butler-esque, yeah, but not governor of the universe butler-esque mask.
Speaker 1:
No, no, yeah, no. How about Hagar? Oh, something you like like hey are the horrible tape.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, exactly. Do you remember Hagar the horrible?
Speaker 1:
I don't, I'm not familiar with, oh I was an old horrible.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, it was an old comic strip and I don't know when it started, but it had to been 80s through 90s. I remember it and I'm fully useless knowledge. I want to keep going with these names. I'll keep coming up with fucking people who have them.
Speaker 1:
I mean Dolores, which means sorrows in Spanish, and once again, a sign felt classic, right when you can't remember the woman's name and he's already made out with her. She didn't know, so he started like cleverly to be like.
Speaker 1:
Oh yeah, people made fun of my name. You know, like Jerry, jerry Jingle Bear, and you have her like, did you ever get made fun of? And she's like well, what do you expect when, when your name rhymes with the part of the female anatomy? Oh my God. And he's just like looking at her like trying to figure it out. Yeah, george is coming up with theories, and finally they, because I think it's more what is that?
Speaker 2:
even I remember this episode. This isn't one of them ones. What was it? Do they ever reveal? Or it's the Laura? Yeah, but what is? What female body part is that with oakley torus? So?
Speaker 2:
dang we got two clit jokes. This is like the most sexual an episode has ever been. We don't do that, guys. We're not like, we're not feminists or not like weirdos on the other end of the stick. We don't say things like Owen. Yeah, I know, it's cool. I, you know, I fucking, I swear to God, sign felt over. Hey, last episode I opened with George as a marine biologist. Oh, that's right. Yeah, hey, you know. A question I've been asked before, or I've like heard people ask you know, was Elderberry where the hell dad come from? Is that a name? Well, according to ancestry, comm and other sources, the elderberry family name was founded in Scotland in 1891. 1891, there was one elderberry family living in Dumberton Shire. This was a hundred percent of all the recorded elderberries in Scotland. Dumberton Shire had the highest population of elderberry families in 1891. Now I wonder if there's any correlation to who named the elderberry and this family. But apparently that's it. They died out there 1891. God rest you, elderberry, you, gentlemen, mary.
Speaker 1:
Right mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberry.
Speaker 2:
Hey, yes, Bring out your dad. Is that all like kind of in that same one?
Speaker 1:
I can't remember oh yeah, like real, go ahead and have a thank you a second time.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, you know there's a lot of funny things. If you wonder about, about names. I mean you really kind of do as you grow up. Like you know, you're from Southern California, I'm from like a rural place in Montana. As a younger child, that you know, I moved it up. I'm a population, I guess, and diversity I suppose. But at the same time, like you know, you're used to certain names in your region, typically right. And then as you start to explore and meet more people, you're like, wait, what you know, like what is that even? Is that even a name? You know, and it is you know.
Speaker 2:
And then I think about American names, you know, and how this thing works. I'm just gonna bring it back cuz fuck us sometimes. But like, no offense, anybody out there name this, but why would you name your kid Jack's or something like tell me, just tell me. Benson agrees, did you hear him back there? But why I'm keeping you in Benson? Yeah, there's names like that that confuse me. And then I think about how, like you know, back in the day, day, right, not like day. Day from Friday, yeah, not like day day from.
Speaker 2:
Friday, but like, but back in the day, day right. You know people earn their names, did they not? Or at least you know they were kind of like given the names based on what they were up to in life, and I think that we've strayed away from that and that's kind of sad. So some of these you know. In history, though, there's some names where they like earned this shit man or somebody gave them the name. And I'm just gonna start off with number one on the list.
Speaker 2:
I don't have a whole lot of background on these, but let's have fun with some of these royal assholes names. I mean their royalty. Typically they're not good people. People right on podcast land. Yeah, I tell stories. We have a website, pitlocks supply comm, that if you visit there's also a subscription link, which I believe there's even like a, like a donation thing. So if you have like a dollar, throw it our way. We might, might, do something spectacular. I said dollar, I don't know anyway, but here's one number. There's two alberts to begin the list, which is funny to me and I don't know why, but number one on this list is Albert the peculiar which. What a name, right? Not that big of a deal. Um. The second was Albert with the pigtail. Okay, I don't know why, uh, he was the father of al Albert the peculiar and, uh, we don't know why he was Albert with the pigtail. It could be because of royal inbreeding. I'm unsure of these things, I don't know, right, yeah, hey, what if your name was?
Speaker 2:
yeah, what if you were known around the country for being called Alfonso the disinherited? Yeah, yeah, he was too young to take the throne when his father, uh, crown prince Ferdinand of Castile, died in 1275, and so it said he was taken into care of his grandmother so basically got disinherited. So this works. So that was a, yeah, alfonso the slobberer. That was, uh, he was a king of Galicia. Yeah, way back, um lobberer. Yeah, these are fantastic names, they, they really are.
Speaker 2:
Archibald the loser he was the son of archibald the grim, who served as the fourth Earl of Douglas from his father's death until his own death in the battle in France in 1424. All right, we got a lot of fun, uh, fun names here. Bernard the hairy footed that's a hell of a name. I'm sure his wife came up with that one. Right, maybe you may appreciate this one. This is a pretty epic name. This sounds like this could be like some sort of uh, I don't even know like Mike Tyson punch out character. But, uh, bermudo the gouty yeah, the king of Leone at one point in time, from 1984 to a 999. Yeah, one way to stay alive and earn a nickname is be, uh, uh, known as Gaddaful the battle decliner. He uh ruled a ruler of the Welsh kingdom of Gwynedd from 634 to 56. Um, charles the fat a lot of things children, they did.
Speaker 2:
Yet, uh, you know there's a lot of these down here. You know that aren't, uh, the best nicknames to have and to go through life being known as. If you ever want to look into any of these people, you know, I'm sure there are those fascinating tales that they paid to have other people write for them on tap. Yeah, so, um, that's part of my educational um speak on the show today. I suppose sir was getting into some medieval names. I mean, a few of these are a little bit before that. I don't know exactly when you consider the medieval like a starting thing, like how long that lasts. I'm not that good at history. So, um, what do you think dawg? What do you think about fucking names? Where are you out with this? Um?
Speaker 2:
yeah, there's a lot of interesting ones out there you know they say that, um, what is it that a name fits a person sometimes, you know, is that a thing? Do you think that? Uh, do you think you're giving your name for a reason like the universe kind of shit, right. Or do you think because of what your name to become, maybe a little extra, something in the direction that the name owns at that time in history? That deep?
Speaker 1:
I don't know yeah come on dawg.
Speaker 2:
Like we gotta do something better than this. I don't know if I'm calling you dawg, bro, but like we're, we're live right now and I tell stories, no matter when you listen to this. We're live, we're talking about this. No, whole bars, um no, but seriously, like, do you think your name has a very large impact on who you become as a person through just throughout your life?
Speaker 1:
I would say it depends, but probably to some degree. Yeah, I think uh, especially when I was named Owen, it's a pretty unique. It's like a little more common now and I feel like I'm rather unique individual, for better or worse sometimes yeah, no, you're, no, you're fantastic.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, so throughout time, like this name has shaped you, you know now if you were born in Scotland or Ireland, it may have been a more common occurrence to like have as Welsh. Actually, well, whatever. I'm just yeah, yeah, the part with the clouds. Yes, that, that area where it's overcast and there's some rocky cliffs, hmm, yeah, so nonetheless.
Speaker 2:
But yeah, I agree with that fact that, like you know it probably, I feel like being named Colt. That like it's not a rapper name, guys, my name is fucking Colt. Like not Colton, not Colter, not whatever. I've answered all these questions. I've been called. I'm sure you're cold, oh my god, cole, cody, fucking Corey, everything but Colt, sometimes, right and no, it's, it's not short for anything, it's just what. My fucking name is man and I didn't make it up. Like it's not a nickname and that's why, even musically, like that's my real name, guys, I can give a shit real deal over here. You know I'm so anyway.
Speaker 2:
But yeah, like I feel that if, if your name's not, I mean it's not like my name was Dingleberry or Cletus or that was what you'll eat off, but thank you for doing that as well. I've never heard such a thing. So I guess, like, all I'm saying here is that, like our names, throughout our experiences in our said countries or regions or whatnot, a lot of us become who we are, as opposed to if our name was like Jeffrey, right, like I have a friend named Jeff, you have a friend named Jeff. That's my friend as well, and he's pretty cool guy. I like him. But I mean, if your name was like Jeffrey, and that's what you went by, what would? You be a butler, but you would live in Bel Air, my friend yeah, yeah, most beloved and hilarious of all time yeah, I know, you know what I love about the fresh Prince Bel Air is I love like almost every character.
Speaker 2:
I love every character really, except for I'm not. I didn't really like will. I liked Jeffrey Carlton's hilarious, ashley's kind of mischievous, vivian's kind of dissing a stupid Uncle, phil's King and jazz. Come on, bro, like he's the best character on the show, dj Jazzy Jeff to me you know he's like what it always.
Speaker 1:
They say that you know like it smells like keep cologne and fried chicken but never jazzes. Although I liked will, honestly I thought that was like for all the serious stuff that will Smith didn't. Later I guess some of it too. I was thinking of the episode where Will's dad yeah, you know get some all excited about being back in his life and then he takes off and it's a really emotional Right deal. He goes like hugs Uncle Phil and says you know why didn't you want me? And I guess that was not in the script. I remember that actually dad Kind of a well, not kind of but abandoned him and so that was like real emotion there.
Speaker 1:
Yeah and James Avery, god rest. You played. Uncle Phil just gives him a big hug and so that's. I don't know. It's a pretty cool for a funny show. That was like a pretty emotional.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, hey, you know what I could go on a tangent and go from Jeffrey the butt there, to the egg Right but you know what we're gonna turn this funny names episode into like a 40 minute thing about like good shit, right.
Speaker 2:
So like, um, uncle Phil, bro, and Al Bundy were two characters that raised a fatherless generation of men. Like, oh, phil was a big deal to a lot of people. He was to me, you know. And then also Al Bundy, like seriously, as silly as that sounds, he was kind of a father figure to me, like he was the dad that I seen, you know I'm saying, and so like that's a fantastic thing, even a popular rapper of these times. It, I know you don't know much about, but I actually do appreciate his work. J Cole, for a newer age, motherfucker or whatever, he's like my age dog, you know anyway. So he, he said one of his biggest songs he said rest in peace, uncle Phil, you know, and he's, like your, the only father I ever had, till dreamville or some shit, whatever the line may be, he, just he yeah, shut out.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I'm not super familiar. I've liked you know what I've heard of I know he's. He's more our style of you know something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, just repetitive. Yeah, mumbley. Well, they have the auto to. Okay, yeah, I don't want to go on a negative tangent.
Speaker 2:
Uncle Phil, al Bundy real father figures. How does that equate to the names it comes from, jeffrey? This is how we get on the subjects and I tell stories, because we tell stories about life. Right, yeah, I ever changed the world, but nonetheless I do feel that Dependent where you're at and like how maybe some lore around the name has been built or whatnot, could affect how you even grow up. It's amazing. So, as we poke fun at these names and we all know like people are gonna make fun of you, okay, guys, like I don't know where the fuck it became a thing where you expected nothing bad to ever happen to you in your life. But people are just gonna poke at your shit and sometimes they they suck as people and that's why they're poking at their shit. They're like miserable with themselves and all these things. So they might be like, hey, eunice, you know why don't you walk in unison with somebody?
Speaker 1:
I'm on fire with units. Baby Jesus in the unit, in the unit first. Never stop here.
Speaker 2:
And I tell stories it does not that you should visit pitlocksplaycom. Possibly pick up a shirt, I heard they make you look smarter. Yeah, yeah, you see campfire. And it says I tell stories. People expect you To entertain them with stories about a fascinating life that you lead.
Speaker 1:
Right, regale them with tales of Eunice cycles yes and hey.

He's like I'm a piece of shit, I'm gonna go drinking, he'll billy it up, whatever honky tonkin. Yeah, right. And so I'm gonna name this motherfucking kid, this boy Sue, a female's name in a masculine society. This isn't Carthage, were we respect women. No, this is America. So we named the boy sue. So he gets a bunch of shit and it's gonna make him tough and that's how they recognize that. They end the song and they like fucking Bonding some honky tonk bar because the kid's name is sue. Right.
