0:00 thank you [Music] all right we're going to talk about names right now because uh a mom in North Carolina she had a baby after some time she kind of regretted the name she gave the baby well you could change it immediately yeah so she went and changed it was it bork was it abort I wish oh plus fives wow you're fast so um no it actually was something kind of normal sounding but people started telling her hey I think people are gonna make fun of your kid when he reaches a certain age yeah why are people so afraid of that I don't know I don't know it's like you will not Escape that won't you wanna have your kid like have a little weird name so they do get ████ with because that builds character I think that I don't
0:50 know if that's the reason that they should here's the thing like all of the people that I know that are crushing it in life they have some story of trauma or whatever right yeah and I've witnessed so many ████ people that had great parents that solved all their problems they're just losers a lot of them are just ████ up hardcore because they never faced adversity so then now I'm thinking is having great parenting in the way we're like it's actually not good parenting but like the parents did so much to remove any type of struggle from the kid's life is that actually a good thing no so let's give them struggle so what's the name let's give let's construct some trauma let's let's make fun of this what's the name that's not bad that's not even a good that's good that's like wait wait guys
1:42 don't be too quick to judge are there two s's or One S and is there a 15 afterwards nah it's just regular Aspen Colorado what was the last name though I mean the last Colorado there's a provided last name oh that's the one that they thought he would get made fun of for what I know that's okay to be fair he will be made fun of that let's like not ████ everybody finds a way to make it because nobody likes pans everybody likes pencils can what the ████ do you think for like ass ass yeah that's it yes every kid will be made fun of it hey ass yeah every kid's gonna make fun of it but doesn't mean that's a bad name gives you thick skin yeah those characters but people make fun of you no matter what it
2:33 could be your face yeah yeah right your nose you know what you rather have them make fun of you for in elementary school that's not cool Jason oh yeah you want to be safe from being made fun of yeah Elementary School they'll make fun of you for things that aren't even jokes yeah like they'll they'll be like you're wearing blue oh we just made fun of your name yeah we're just call them gays and Cheney right now but it's not making fun it's just giving uh an example what a stupid name dude are you trying to go let's go through everyone's names and make the schoolyard joke of it everybody used to say like um dick none yeah dick none I like I like I like dick none they saw his rhyming with dick or like you know Nickelodeon that was a funny one Nickelodeon growing up I was getting chased around by everyone and they'd always call me Dumbo and that would make
3:23 me cry when I was in like third grade and that was like Nick that has nothing to do with your name though my name no it doesn't that's just my face that's not that bad because my last name was Emma Mama yeah Joe mama oh okay but that's cool that became like your signature though I thought it was cool I don't know scary yeah no but I mean in elementary school in elementary school they can't they call me all kinds of names but I but I did the same thing right yeah but kids are so dumb right it's like they're ████ dumb like Joe mama in context can be cool or it's like maybe at a certain age that's like the best disc possible you know what I mean it's like it's like oh that's Ryan that's no he's crying but it's like that's also a stupid joke you know what I mean like people get past it he just caught just kept calling me Chinese
4:15 it's funny yeah yeah that's ████ fine you're Chinese like a ████ comedian all right he's like hey Chinese he's come here Chinese Keenan Ivory wins funny yeah no one ever called you can't huh yeah people have called me that but I feel like I grew up with so many people making fun of my name that I got desensitized to it it's like he didn't he didn't mind can't but when somebody said can not yeah yeah because it has that like delay it's the same dude I'm so desensitized to people making fun of my name because I've got it some of us are weaker what was the name that was the original name his name originally was Aspen and they changed it to Luke
5:11 but that's the way kids would do it it would be such a stretch it's a stupid thing yeah but Luca I mean that's easier to me dude yeah changing your kid's name that like if you want your kid to have one name and then you change it because you're worried that someone's gonna make fun of it is like the dumbest reason I think the best thing you can do is name your kid what a ████ up name that's gonna be made fun of you mean like Meet the Parents where they're like named Gaylord focker yeah that's pretty funny you wanna you wanna hear a real some real ████ up names real names yes so uh my friend who's a nurse at a hospital she uh had a mom name her kid meconius do you know what mcconius is meconius is what I believe that's what you call uh or maybe it's meconium it's what you call the first ████ a baby
6:02 takes that's all liquidy why because she heard them say it in the hospital and she thought it sounded well I like that that's a good one though but codium does sound nice a stupid thing to do and I applaud it there was a it's meconium yeah meconium there was a Korean dude that was at our school no ████ his name was Eric and his last name was shin and we ████ died laughing Eric chin just because it's Shin Eric Eric Shin got it like dude erection that's kind of that's pretty good that's kind of funny what an idiot what a ████ ████ it's so innocent it's like oh ████ that's funny that's funny though like how can you not laughing would that be ████ up if you had Ed or something at ████ 14 nah just the rest of his life you know what I mean wouldn't that be ironic you know okay dick none yeah dude I got no dick so
6:52 it's dick there was also a girl in Cerritos uh I wish I knew what happened to her her name was header oh she was Filipino and her parents mispronounced Heather oh Heather and they when they wanted to name her Heather they accidentally wrote it as header because that's how Filipinos sound Heather and that's really really uh unfortunate because in this era it was there was a big divide between like Filipino Americans and like fobs so people were always making fun of her and she was like a pretty girl yeah that sucks her name was actually and she would be like hi I'm Heather it's like don't ████ lie your head or you know like it's so ████ I feel like a lot of the times it doesn't matter what the thing is is the how they say it to you it's like the China thing or the header thing yeah it doesn't even sound that bad but like your header is like oh his
7:42 head or bad yeah honestly I thought I thought one of the most beautiful names for a girl was Lana until somebody's like did you know that that's anal backwards yeah that's true I'm like ████ I gotta do a little bit of work for that I remember in eighth grade the they gave a nickname to this guy I think his name was Fook f-h-u-c right that's tough but here is that how you say it p-h-u-c but he was but he was fat so then they call him fat ████ oh no that was his nickname they'll be like hey fat ████ so that that sucks because you're getting made up photo for two separate things but that was his name to like high school like everyone just called him fat ████ but I also remember it shouldn't be it shouldn't be uh a bad thing to give props to creative funny names you know yeah whoever was like the ████ was like Hey dude fat ████ but it really
8:33 made sense and he owned it too he was like yo I'm fat ████ yeah that's his identity now there was this kid in in Community College the first year I was there his name was note n-o-t-e and he was Chinese and I remember like I became friends he's a cool kid and he was saying that like oh my God like the last school I was at people kept calling me Hunchback of Notre Dame what it's like dude that's pretty ████ up and then one day in school some kid behind him goes hey Hunchback of Notre Dame and he goes no [Laughter] and we're 18 already like we're like older the cameras themselves and he falls to his knees spaceship comes by that is so sad that
9:25 moment it's so sad it's so sad through the other side you're all good yeah because I feel like oh man didn't we all get like a weird nickname or get bullied or like something for like a for like a phase right that's that's the truth though is some people are not built for like they don't like you dude like some people like I know I am like if you ████ with me like I'll dish it back and I'll have fun but some people don't ████ do that but then you learn how to do that though did you learn how to be able to take a joke and then be able to Dish about but then I was lucky because I grew up with other kids and other family and big families are are a really easy thing to have like if you have a big family you get thick skinned pretty that's true and not everybody has that so it's like ████ that sucks that if you don't have that you're alone and then you go to a place like a new school you don't know anybody you have anxiety about fitting in everyone makes fun of you you're not ready to ████ zingers
10:17 back to them you know what I mean you're just gonna be obsessed it's not joke if you don't get it exactly I think that's the difference because when I started seeing that ████ and I'm like oh they're not fighting back yeah then I'm like I don't I don't I don't know it felt it felt weird but then if they're like hurt but then they dish it back and it becomes a game I think that's that's different yeah I don't know how that's why sometimes I don't know how to do it I was that kid that doesn't really have the big family dude they should have they should have classes for that I'm gonna do that right so now I try to learn it like the nose thing you know [Laughter] I feel like I'm in like middle school again dude I remember growing up I used to get picked on so much all the time I got picked on every grade for my ears being Chinese okay beat a little ████ dude like
11:07 crying about it all the time like I used to get picked on relentlessly not your ears though oh dude 100 okay check this out but Chinese is okay but the ice get python for being Asian all the time because wherever a lot of times wherever I went I was like one of the only Asian kids growing up right oh yeah Pasadena in my first uh like my first like week in high school I was like walking around and look I had obviously my ears are ████ up now but they were just really big when I was come on dude come on man they were really gorgeous back there okay I'm fascinating I'll tell you that I remember I was walking around campus and I'm on like a freshman high school and these dudes came up and like I didn't know them and they were like yo what the ████ they're like God damn look at this Fool's ears y'all holy ████ these are ████ huge boy What ethnicity
11:58 oh no my God damn and then I was like yeah I thought they were my ████ friends for a sec and then they were like ah and they just left and I was like whoa bro I don't even think I have an ear thing but I'm traumatized right now but but eventually but eventually you realize like look bro there's nothing you could do about it so you might as well ████ either crack yeah you can either you start cracking jokes back or you just realize like hey don't take yourself too seriously because everyone's gonna ████ dunk on you anyway what do you do they go God damn what would you do like after like fifth time they're like damn what's the rebuttal yeah every five times what happens that's true you should have been like hey watch out man or else I'm gonna ████ like smack you with my ear or something nah dude these guys
12:48 that was terrible these guys are kind of like gangsters bro so I was like haha and I just walked around but then eventually like you should have been like yeah you're like yeah my ears are ████ bad you eventually have a good sense of humor about it because there's nothing else you could do about it yeah you're everyone's gonna get these jokes bro yeah and then afterwards he goes straight to fight training but no but at that time at that time I realized like in high school I was like crack jokes with people or you learn how to do that then you can kind of like it's all good everyone's just like oh Nick Nick's like the fun guy or something like the funny guy it's all it's on no big deal and then you ████ them all up I never ████ anybody up there I'm like yeah dude people are going hey hey go make fun of his ears he loves that man he's a fun guy because when you start laughing about it and then you have a good sense of hearing about it they realize like oh that's like not a
13:38 big deal anymore like it doesn't get the same reaction anymore I mean getting cauliflower ear was a good choice but that wasn't until I was like ████ until I was out of high school you know and that just I didn't want cauliflower just happened to me and then my coach was like he's like hey you know what your nickname should be you my coach goes even what your nickname should be it should be the ear yo like ah and I was like yeah that's true because my ears are ████ up so when you were fighting you were you weren't trying to block hits with your ear to try to cauliflower it wasn't I was trying to block kids I was just taking hits to my cars foreign
