00:00And Stallion had a good idea to do sports nicknames.
00:03Yeah.
00:05In general, I love, like, ironic nicknames.
00:08I love when a big fat dude is called Tiny or a really tall guy is called Shorty.
00:15Stuff like that.
00:16But I went.
00:18Now, the good part about this, to me, there's no rules.
00:22It's subjective to you what you think the best is.
00:25I went pretty specific.
00:28Okay.
00:29Do you want me to start?
00:30Do you want to start?
00:31You got it.
00:32All right.
00:33So we're supposed to give our top three and then the number one, right?
00:37Mm-hmm.
00:38Number three.
00:39Now, these are all true goats, too.
00:42Mm-hmm.
00:43Number three, Babe Ruth.
00:46I never watched Babe Ruth play baseball, but his name's George, and they called him Babe.
00:51Mm-hmm.
00:51Back in the 30s.
01:03And he honestly made a real push for one, but one is just so perfect.
01:08Number two, Tiger Woods.
01:10His name is Eldrick.
01:12Yeah.
01:12His dad just called him Tiger.
01:13Yeah.
01:13That is the most badass, perfect name ever.
01:17Yeah.
01:18Except for number one.
01:18Which means he's a killer.
01:20Number one is just too perfect for the way this dude played, the way this dude smiles,
01:26the charisma.
01:27Magic.
01:28Magic Johnson.
01:29Joe, you and I are on the same little things.
01:32Really?
01:32Because I went with Tiger, I went with Magic, and then it's hard as hell not to go with Megatron.
01:43That's a good nickname.
01:45Calvin Johnson.
01:45I wasn't even thinking about that.
01:47If you know anything about the dad, what was those?
01:49So that's your number three?
01:51Yeah.
01:52Okay.
01:52Megatron.
01:53Transformers.
01:54Transformers.
01:56He can do whatever he wants, but there's so many of them out there.
02:00Vince Carter, half man, half amazing.
02:03You know, it's some stuff out there.
02:05There's so many good ones.
02:07All right.
02:07So I went Magic, Tiger, Babe Ruth.
02:10B went Magic, Tiger, Megatron.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Megatron's pretty damn good, dude.
02:17All right.
02:17I was about to throw my man in there, but I had to move on.
02:20Who?
02:22Air.
02:22When you so good, they call you Air Jordan?
02:25It's pretty badass.
02:26Come on, Tom.
02:26But the only difference is, I don't think, very rarely would people just call him Air.
02:31I feel like if there was a one word nickname.
02:33No, but it's Air Jordan.
02:34Totally.
02:34But you would say MJ more than Air.
02:37But MJ, that's his initials.
02:39I'm talking about the nickname is.
02:41I get it.
02:41I had it on my list.
02:43They call him BJ.
02:44Black Jesus, baby.
02:46I had him on my list.
02:47Well, you're so good.
02:48They call you Black Jesus, bro.
02:49I had him on my list.
02:52Jeffrey, what do you got?
02:54Okay, so number three, I'm going with Emmanuel Augustus.
02:59He was the drunken master in boxing because of his style, how he did all that.
03:04Number two, the Slim Reaper.
03:07Slim Reaper is good.
03:09That's good.
03:10And number one, White Brian is going to like this.
03:13Unfortunately, he was a giant.
03:31Who was your number two?
03:34The Slim Reaper, Kevin Durant.
03:36Slim Reaper is really good.
03:37That's good.
03:39All right, Dub B, what do you got?
03:41Number three is the kid for Ken Griffey.
03:44Good.
03:45Number two, the Polish hammer for Marcin Gortat.
03:49Pretty good.
03:50And number one is the finisher for Laurie Markkinen.
03:58I remember that.
04:00Who was number three for you?
04:01The kid.
04:01The kid's good for Griffey.
04:03Yeah.
04:03That's just like an all-timer.
04:06Stallion, what do you got, dude?
04:08This is a tough one.
04:09Number three, I got Jason Williams, White Chocolate.
04:13White Chocolate's good.
04:13I like that.
04:14I like that.
04:15That's pretty good.
04:15I just saw him going off on somebody on social media.
04:18Jeff, we're just talking about that.
04:19From Barstool.
04:20He said, it's real right here.
04:22This ain't for Barstool.
04:23Is it Nate?
04:24No.
04:26The dude was just a little bit taller than Nate.
04:28My number two is Frank Thomas, Big Hurt.
04:31Big Hurt is good.
04:32I mean, come on.
04:32That's a great sports nickname.
04:34And my number one, Evo Ortiz, man.
04:37Big Papi.
04:38I mean, come on.
04:39Big Papi.
04:40Yeah, I like that.
04:40Big Papi.
04:41Everybody calls him Big Papi.
04:43People just call him Papi.
04:44Papi.
04:45Yeah.
04:46But we...
04:47How about Primetime?
04:49Primetime's really good.
04:50That's legit.
04:51Yo, honey badger.
04:52Sweetness.
04:53Sweetness with Walter Payton.
04:55The Louisville lip.
04:56The fridge.
04:57Ali.
04:58The fridge is good, too.
04:59The bus is good.
05:01There's some of them out there, though.
05:02So was Mike just Iron Mike Tyson?
05:05Like, you had to say his whole name, like...
05:07People called him Iron Mike.
05:08They called him Iron Mike.
05:08Okay.
05:10The mailman was good, because he always delivers.
05:13The great one.
05:14The great one's...
05:15Yo, I mean, if you think about the great one for Gretzky and, like...
05:19The great eight for Ovi.
05:20The great eight's really good.
05:22Even...
05:22I don't know that Ovi counts, because it's just pronounced, like, it's his name.
05:26But Ovi's a pretty good one.
05:27All right.
05:28People have called.
05:28We haven't even asked yet.
05:30800-636-1067.
05:32Best sports nickname.
05:34How about the truth?
05:34Paul Pierce.
05:35Truth's good.
05:37Truth is really good.
05:39Kevin and Sterling.
05:40What do you got, Kev?
05:42Hey, what's cracking, boys?
05:44What's up, man?
05:45Yeah, there's a lot of good ones.
05:46I got, you know, rest in peace, Kobe.
05:49I got to go with Black Mamba.
05:51Yeah.
05:51And I got a little anecdote, because I was actually born in the Congo.
05:56And my father was there when he was in the Peace Corps.
05:59And he said the villagers would, you know, when a Black Mamba came around, they would actually
06:05cut the head off and put that sucker on the front door of their house to ward off evil
06:11spirits.
06:12Wow.
06:13Well, if you had a Black Mamba, and I'll tell you how animals are, they saw that damn head
06:17of that snake.
06:18They say, I ain't going over there.
06:19Yeah.
06:20Appreciate the call, Kev.
06:22Thanks, dude.
06:24A good one we didn't bring up, Beast Mode from Marshawn.
06:28Oh, hell yeah.
06:28That's pretty damn good.
06:30Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
06:31How about the logo?
06:33The logo's pretty damn good.
06:34He's so damn good.
06:35They say, man, he's the logo.
06:38That's pretty damn good.
06:39Chew to the West, baby.
06:40Let's go to Charlie in College Park.
06:43Chuck, we've got to be quick, brother.
06:45Gotcha, man.
06:46Good afternoon.
06:47You want the real derivation of Babe Ruth's name, the Babe?
06:50Sure.
06:50Because way back before somebody said Babe as a kind of a fancy name, when he was with
06:55Boston, he started out with the Boston Red Sox when he was 19 years old, they would
07:00get ready to sell him to the New York Yankees.
07:02Either the manager for Boston or the manager of the Yankees came in the dugout or something
07:06like that, and then somebody said, here comes so-and-so with his new babe, and that name
07:10stuck with him the rest of his life.
07:12That's cool.
07:13That's cool.
07:13Appreciate you, Charlie.
07:14Appreciate you, brother.
07:15You know what's a good name?
07:27Fairfax.
07:28Anthony, what do you got?
07:30I got number 44, the Diesel.
07:33The Diesel.
07:34That's good, dude.
07:36I like that.
07:37The Diesel is good.
07:39Is that the best nickname in DC sports?
07:42That's also what's called.
07:43It's called a Diesel, too.
07:44Shaq.
07:45Yeah.
07:46But it came from John.
07:48Yeah.
07:49Rigo, that's a good one, dude.
07:50AI?
07:51Come on.
07:52The answer.
07:53The answer's good.
07:55Thank you, Anthony.
07:57I don't care what the question is, but he's the answer.
07:59Let's go to Mark in Landover Hills.
08:03Mark, be quick for me, please.
08:05I sure will, JP.
08:06Hey, B, we forgot one of MJ's, one of my favorite buddies, the glove, the defensive star
08:14work that he was.
08:16And, hey, what about our basketball player, B?
08:19That poster of him in the green scrubbies of a doctor, Dr. J.
08:25Nice, man.
08:26Dr. J is good.
08:28Dr. J is real good.
08:29Oh, yeah.
08:29The glove was good for Gary Payton.
08:32JP, what about Bray Bruce on the one?
08:35The Salton of Swat.
08:37Or the Great Bambino.
08:39Thanks, dude.
08:40You don't know what the Great Bambino?
08:43How about the Salton of the Swamp?
08:45Thank you, Mark.
08:46Jay, how about the Salton of the Swamp?
08:48That's a good one.
08:49Yo, the Salton of the Swamp is in a...
