Speaker 1: Isn't it great when you're in a laugh with somebody else,
Speaker 1: that's when it's the most magical.
Speaker 2: Yes. And it's also when it's the same humor, because
Speaker 2: it often, you know, might not hit the target anyway.
Speaker 2: So I'd put on my Instagram a little while ago,
Speaker 2: I put a post we went bowling with the kids,
Speaker 2: and we'd put our names up and we had put
Speaker 2: Luca's nickname, which Mark had just started calling him Tommy
Speaker 2: T h O M Y like the mayonnaise because he
Speaker 2: loves mayonnaise. No, because every story he tells he exaggerates,
Speaker 2: and Mark's like he always puts the extra.
Speaker 1: That is hilarious. It's very empty, Tommy, very right. I
Speaker 1: love how people get nicknames.
Speaker 2: Same and I never had a nickname other than never
Speaker 2: had one, right, did you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Monty's a nickname, but like no, Yeah, they
Speaker 1: got called Chop at school by the man. My forehead
Speaker 1: so big and my cheeks are chubby, and there was
Speaker 1: a dog called Chops that had like jowls and stuff.
Speaker 2: Ah. Okay, well fuck that's unfortunate, and some of these
Speaker 2: are unfortunate. But anyway, I started thinking about nicknames, went
Speaker 2: down the Reddit rabbit hole. Of course, yes, fuck some
Speaker 2: of these are gold though. A listener named Crystal actually
Speaker 2: messaged and she wrote, they call a manager at her
Speaker 2: work GST because he puts ten percent on all his stories,
Speaker 2: and that they call her older brother Blister because he
Speaker 2: shows up when all the work's done. I like that.
Speaker 1: That's good, right whatever.
Speaker 2: Fuck the ones on Reddit were so funny. Okay, this
Speaker 2: person wrote someone in my school had the nickname rock

Speaker 2: Wayne Bruce.
Speaker 1: Wayne. Oh my god, it was so good. It's so clever.
Speaker 2: There was a boy in my school whose surname was Stretch.
Speaker 2: His nickname was Brendan. For a second, I was like,
Speaker 2: what Brendan stretch.
Speaker 1: Instead of so hold on his nickname was Stretch or
Speaker 1: Brendan was his name.
Speaker 2: No, his surname was Stretch, so they nicknamed him Brendan
Speaker 2: like Brendan's stretch. And you know what, speaking of how
Speaker 2: randomly like a nickname can start, someone wrote, this kid
Speaker 2: he went to school with turned up at a football
Speaker 2: match in a brown T shirt. That's all he did,
Speaker 2: and from then on everyone called him Brownie. And they
Speaker 2: still call him that just because he wore a brown
Speaker 2: T shirt to school. Okay. I used to work with
Speaker 2: a girl named Dawn. Her nickname was crack of. One
Speaker 2: of my friends is called Partridge because he loves pears.
Speaker 2: This one's mean, but fuck, it's funny. Growing up on
Speaker 2: you a fella called Dermot with an unfortunate case of acne.

Speaker 2: it's funny. One of my friends from Muni has a
Speaker 2: little brother who is famous for disappearing when it's his
Speaker 2: turn to buy around in the pub. He's called Crime

Speaker 2: nicknamed him hip Hip because his name was Hugh Ray.
Speaker 2: And this one is my favorite. A guy I know
Speaker 2: is known as Harry. His name isn't Harry. It's because
Speaker 2: he used to work in a team with two other
Speaker 2: blokes called Tom and Dick. A fuck. I thought that
Speaker 2: was funny. I am the worst laugh for podcasting or whatever,
Speaker 2: because I'm a silent laugher.
