Fat Chance Podcast - It's Named After Me! Ep.181

Episode Date: October 30, 2025

Ever wondered the names behind the invention?

Not be that guy right now. You got to give them what the people want, you know? Yeah, you know what I want more? I want to give me what I want. And late at night after I've had a long 10-hour day of work, gone to the gym, showered. I'd like to put on a comfort grout fit without socks on. Because, you know, one of the best feelings at the end of day

is taking those socks off. of letting those piggies out. Yeah, yeah. And just relax. Talk to a friend over a FaceTime and, you know, enjoy an evening of... Yeah, just relaxing with the dogs out. You know, who let the dogs out? Who let the dogs out?

You know what? It's a non-stand-up night for me, which is weird on Tuesdays. And, you know, I'm enjoying just the relaxation. Yeah. And so, God forbid a man wants his toes out. I got, I got, um, my Lula Lemon sucks on. Um, they make socks. Are those $45 a stock?

No. So, so I got a, a gift card for Lul Lemon. And you know how everything is so expensive? That's all you can afford with the $50 gift. It was, it was, it was to the point where I was like, I can buy one thing. And then I have $13 left. You know, I was like, oh, right, well, that's going to get me half, like, not even half of anything.

Did you have a $100 gift card? I had $100 gift card. Okay, that makes sense of why you had $13 left because a $50 gift card, you definitely might have, only could have gotten socks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I just got some socks.

But just brand new announced this week, Loua Lemon is now officially NFL licensed so they start making Packer gear and it's going to be very hard to get me not buy some Packers, my pants You know what you gotta do? I'll send you the video But someone release

Who just supplies the clothing to Lulu Lemon And you could just go buy it directly from them Without their logo on it For pennies on the dollar Yeah Yeah but that's like also A lot of those things You have to buy in like large quantities

What they don't tell you You can't just buy You can still get it cheaper than one pair of fucking paying it Yeah but usually they have a You know how things, like mass quantities work. They usually have like a bar, you know. You have an order minimum, yes. Like when we buy these hats, I have to buy 25 of them or something like that.

Yeah, I get that. I get that. But 25 pairs of Lulu pants from the source is also $196, just like the one pair of Lulu pants from Lulu. Yeah, for sure. Oh, for sure. They're not cheap, and I am a sucker for them. We all are. I got two pairs of Lulu.

Lulu sweatpants. I have Lulu Shorts. I have a Lulu pair of ABC pants. But I got those pants because I had a $100 gift card and I got 25% off being an old GM from a gym. And they still cost me $50. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy.

And, you know, are they worth it? Who knows? I don't know. We're talking about it. These comfort sweatpants, I believe we're $39.99. I should have put them on. I have them upstairs. Code down low.

Yeah. I will, we need some more comfort. I saw comfort just made a, for flights, they have a sweatshirt where you can put the eyes down so that you can sleep on flights, which would come in a meeting. Would you like that? Are you a fate, like an eye mask person? No, I'm also not sleep on a flight person. Oh, I can pass out on a flight. Well, kind of.

I can pass out and then I'm like this all the time. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not going to be able to get comfort. And I'm always going to worry to the person, if I'm in the middle of it, I'm always going to worry that I fall in the person or they have to go to the bathroom or something like I'm in their way. I twitch. I've hit people. So I have to just straightjacket myself. I tuck my arms underneath my sweatshirt or I hold onto my arms like this. Yeah. I've actually smacked a woman for. Yeah, I just sleep. I'll put my arms in my sleeves. Okay Anything to not embarrass myself on a plane

Yeah Plain etiquette I feel like I try so hard to be chill And just be like Yeah go in your aisle Get in your seat You know

And then there's people that I think Are just monsters Like They have no care in the world It's their time to shine They need to get up right away They need to get their bag They're like 40 people left

you know you don't need your bag right now like you're not even it's not even your turn why do you need your bag i am the way i was going to phrase this definitely not going to say that now um i definitely judge people based off their looks at an airport a hundred and ten percent based off your looks and my first 15 second interaction with you if you look efficient you get a pass you get a strike you don't look efficient i hope you're playing window opens up. I'm a very at a plane

for some reason I'm the most nosy person in the world. I will look at everyone's text. I will look at if I'm in the middle of a middle

like see which probably because I got from Expedia and it's the lowest price you can get because they crammed between two people. I will look at

every one of your messages. I will be in the conversation with you. You can ask my opinion if you wanted, but I know that this guy that sat next to me when I was flying back from Texas looked like Luke Combs and he was only talking about the Alabama Crimson Tide football game coming up with his buddies. I know what kind of person, yeah, you're talking about. You know, but I will, yeah, I will look at what you're listening to. If you're looking at the book on the plane, I'm going to Google what book that is. and if you're a creep, but, yeah, I will be,

you might as well ask my opinion if you're in a group chat. I'll give you some good players. Yeah, I've definitely, I've taken a few peeks at people. I've seen, there was actually a lady on one of my most recent flights that I saw, like, her text, and I get it. Everyone tells you, like, your significant others, your loved ones. Hey, let me know any land, let me know you take off, blah, blah, blah. And she, I don't think her significant other asked for any of those messages.

because I saw all the messages and it was like taking off love you oh actually not taking off now we're taking off wow I can still text you in the air just landed gonna be here a while are you gonna pick me up from the airport never mind forgot I'm ubering I still have to go to baggage I'm like ma'am he doesn't care did he didn't respond any of that no none of it none of it I was like I think I saw one text and it was like sounds good or like okay I was like he he's enjoyed

his weekend away from you and he's pissed your home like that's it's a hundred percent what it was I'm at work oh I was awesome and it was like oh I loved it

I loved it my my flight to Texas was obviously flew into Dallas and well a lot of the I don't know how this is but apparently a lot of

the people that were going to the Cardinals, Packers game, flew out of Milwaukee, touched down in Dallas, and the connecting flight was to Phoenix. And so the cabin was filled with mostly Packers, and the person next to me goes, oh, you're going to the Packering? Because I did have a Packer hat on. And I was like, no, no, just going to Dallas. And he goes, oh, yeah, can't believe that they have a, you know, connecting flight with and i'm like i'm like he just wants to bitch about it so i let him bitch

and then his wife calls and his wife's like honey your kid like i don't it seemed like they either um don't have this kid together or or the mom was sick of this kid's shit so she's literally saying your son you know sort of situation so you could i could hear her saying something about your son's not doing this and he goes well i don't know what the tell you, I can't tell him to get a job. Like, it was just like, all this stuff. He's like, you're going to have to talk with him and tell him about this because I'm going to the game, you know?

And it made me laugh so hard because he obviously is going to the game with his buddies and it didn't get direct flights. But then at the end, he goes, oh, by the way, I left something in the Porsche. Make sure you grab that before you go there. And I'm like, you have a Porsche and you're taking the same flight I'm taking what's going that had to have been there's a few reasons that man has a Porsche and on the same flight one he's one of those guys it's like you got to act broke to be rich kind of thing which okay i like that or or he has a Porsche but it's like Miami Porsche which if people don't know this it means

you have like a Ferrari parked outside of your foreclosed home because that's what you're going to drive around and that's like it's his thing Like, it was like a family Porsche, something like that. It's a nice car outside of trailer park. You're like, okay. Exactly, exactly. Yeah, I, oh, man, I love, I'm so overflying. I'm glad I'm not done for the year.

My buddy visited this weekend, and he was telling me, he goes, yeah, the entire, I don't know why I found this funny, but the entire Milwaukee Admirals hockey team was on his flight. And I was like, oh, are they playing in Colorado? He goes, no, they're playing in San Jose. which to me any level of like semi-professional like they're a feeder team to the preds you can't get a direct flight for this team they're like you have to connect and i i just love the idea i would love the idea of like the packers not hopefully not the packers but like the panthers they're that bad or the jets they make you take a connecting flight to your

game i mean some of these yeah yeah some of these teams i mean they got to i mean just for just for getting all these people all tickets and keeping them in a reasonable you know price like for the lower level teams yeah but if I would laugh if there was like an actual professional like NFL MLB kind of team like if the Dodgers suddenly started they just ran out of money like you guys were flying frontier show is like I got it um have you ever flown first class I have not no I'm I've been a poor my entire life Yeah, I think that might be a bucketless goal of mine. Just wants to sniff a hot towel or whatever they put on their face, you know?

Here's the thing. It's like, if I'm going to fly first class, I want it to be like on a fun airline. I don't want to be first class on United. We're like, there's just like two. Because like if I'm flying first class and I'd like to say it did it just to do it kind of thing, I would probably fly from like Denver now to Florida. it'd be like a two and a half hour three hour flight on a united thing i'd probably get one extra snack and a free drink and i'd be still bored i'd watch the same movies on my phone like

yeah i i don't know like i i did something about watching everyone else get on your flight is kind of fun come on that's got me a little yes it is fun i love watch people i think who is it adam ray that like takes pictures of people it's like yeah yeah yeah that's i think that's fun i would definitely do that in my head um and it would be nice knowing that when you get up you're just getting off the plane because there's nothing worse than watching we got to get off the planes but nothing worse than watching someone put their bag behind you and then sit in front of you you're like god damn i had to yeah i had to put my bag i was probably like 20 i like there wasn't an open one

to like 30 30 yeah i was so far back and then i'm like oh well it's my turn to get up off the plane, I have to get back there, you know, but yeah. I would have just sat there until everyone's off. Thankfully, it was, everyone was nice enough to be like, all right, we understand what's going on here. Yeah. Yeah. But

Halloween, are we doing anything special for Halloween? Because this is going to be coming over as Halloween expects, you know? We're not in costume this year. We're not in costume. I'm, I'm a comfort ambassador. That's what I am for Halloween this year. I don't think we have costumes this year.

I don't think we have plans. If I'm being honest with you, I've had a month of excitement and fun that I'm kind of looking forward to a more tame weekend. We do have this thing called book club here that I got added into. Apparently, from what I've heard, the girls here, all the significant others,

before Rach and I got here, started a book club to actually read. And then the guys all watch these girls come over to their place and they had like Charcucci boards wine mixed drinks all this food and spread and then they talk about the book for a little bit

so the guys made their own book club and they usually I'm pretty sure they just like they eat chocolates and don't talk about the book wait wait wait do you have the

do the guys have the book at least well here's the thing from so I just got added into it um i asked if i had to read to be in it um they said you really don't have to but a lot of us do they're reading like our childhood books so like right now they're reading lord of the flies um which i'm fine with because i kind of know how it is so if there is a talking point i can kind of i'm like those kids are shits um and we're good but that i think those the book clubs are together this weekend and then may go out i don't know i think it's just a weird adult way of saying hey do you guys want to have separate pregames and then meet up at the bars i mean it's a fun it's a

fun thing to hang with friends uh and i think the gathering is what really it's about and trying to find you know like we have uh you know we have the whiffa ball championship tomorrow night and that is not for it is as much as we play whiffa ball and we're we like to play football. It's also just for hanging out with the guys and having some beers and shooting the shit and seeing where everyone is at in their life. So, yeah, I get that. Yeah, it's, I mean, because this is the season I played last year.

This is, if I remember correctly, it's get there a little early. You guys get some food. Then get there a little early. Talk about fantasy football or the brewers, depending on what time of the year it was. then go play, have your pitcher of beer, come back, talk a little more fantasy football, or how the other team sucked her was a little chippy, and then go home. Yeah, it's great. We love it.

And it's something about finding your tribe and some sort of like communal gathering that is what you need in life. And I fear that that is the key to happiness is having a tribe around you that you can get together and just shoot shifts. it also just breaks up the monotony of the day and the week we're like all right i got something to look forward to that isn't get up go to work come home go to bed or like watch the same show go to bed kind of thing it's like you got something else to look forward to especially in wisconsin i mean you're getting up you're going to work it's dark you're going home it's dark yeah it's been it's been uh pretty gnarly uh like opening your shades and it's still dark.

My cats love when I open the shades, because they can see what's out there. You know, they love to look. But it's still dark. We're like, okay, we don't care anymore. It's not light, but we'll wait. Yeah, I love leaving when it's dark out, but it's the going home when it's dark out,

that's a real mood killer. Coming back, yeah, for sure. I get that. uh we can flip my camera and we can go to the game if you want yeah absolutely what are you climbing on over there what are you doing oh someone's making their overnight oats yeah you got big into overnight oats over here well i was for a little bit no no not so much anymore overnight oats i don't even know how to make those but it's really really easy you just put oats in a liquid and then leave it overnight and so they're soggy in the morning

it's like a cold oatmeal oh disgusting cool um um and so i found this fun thing uh for the game today is uh finding out items or things that are named after the person that is invented them or found them you know i think that was very cool um okay so i'm so today's game is going to be is it named after a person or not i'm going to name off 12 different things and you're going to tell me if it's named after a person or not and if it is named after a person i know their name and if not i know pretty much what it's named after so okay so i got a 50 50 shot yeah for sure um the first one saxophone was it named after a person or not i'm gonna say it wasn't you are incorrect uh you're gonna try and bring me up there yeah um el dofi sacks el dofi sacks

did you have like a reason why it was named after him did he invent the saxophone i think he's the guy who invented the saxophone which is uh you know back in the nine would have been the coolest thing ever. Yeah. Okay. The back of the 90s, the saxophone means you fuck. You know, you got it on if you were on the saxophone. That was the time where...

Dark, poorly lit basement in New York. Yeah. Just absolutely shredding. Yeah, I like that. Bill Clinton played sax and everyone's... What was his name again? El Dofi Sax. El Dofi.

Aldofi sacks Okay All right Next one Broach Broach Broach Was brooch

Mroach Was brooch named after a person or not See I feel like it would But I'm going to say no I feel like someone Was cold saw roach And then we're like You know that'd be a great piece of jewelry

So a brooch Is actually French for long needle Oh Yeah. So you have a, you're a brooch dick. That hurts. That'd be good. So number three, Skittles. Skittles named after the place. Skittles named after someone. Skittles taste the rainbow.

Could it be named after a group of people? I'm going to say no, it was not named after someone. That is correct. It's actually named after a game. It must have played a game that was colorful. Yeah. Really? What game?

I do not know. I did not write that down. But... Okay. That's what it said. But we're moving on. Cool. We're moving on to number four.

Jekuzzi. Jakuzy. That's got to be named after someone. That is correct. It's named after the Jekuzi Brothers. The Jukuzzi brothers. Can you imagine your last name being Jakuzy? I love that.

Dude, honestly, when I heard that, I was like, the Jacozy Brothers, that's what I assume the twins that, uh, from, um, from, uh, the golf outing are last name, jacuzis. The twin, oh my God, yes. The Wisconsin, you know, guys, their last name needs to be jacuzzi. The jacuzzi brothers. Can you imagine, though, like, just growing up and you were the jacuzzi bros? And you played sports, and you had an announcer. I was like, and now up to bed, Mark, jacuzis. It was great.

My favorite thing is, jacuzzi is a type of person. Jacuzzi is a person with a thin chain. You know, jacuzzi's a, you know, a New York stepdad. A jacuzzi is a type of lifestyle. So I assume these people had, like, like, they were partiers. Like, we need to be warm in a pool of our own filth. We need to be warm and wet, but... Yeah, we need some jets going on.

Hell yeah. All right. Number five, the Mason jar. Mason jar. Oh, yes. That is named. That's correct. Ryan Mason.

No. Yeah, John Landis Mason. Mason. So pretty cool. See, like when you say that, like, if you don't know that, you're like, oh, Mason jar. Mason seems so much more unique. But when it's just someone's last name, you're like, this is, it loses some of its appeal. Yeah, there's a lot of them that, like, looking up for this, there's a lot of them that I'm like, oh, yeah, it's just their last name, you know?

That's what a lot of this is. It's not as fun. Hockey. No. that is correct it's uh french for puck play puck play i made that up i didn't i couldn't figure out what it was for so uh number seven the heimlich maneuver

it's got to be named after someone is named after dr henry judah hymlich that's see that one seems too easy i feel like that would be one that should have tripped me up but it didn't yeah um number eight The Graham Cracker. Oh. No. You are incorrect.

It is named after a person. Sylvester Graham, who, fun fact, was a cracker. Well, they really hit the nail on the head with that one. Also, let's go back to the Heimlich. Like, he definitely, can you mention the first time you tried the heimlich someone had to be like he's a doctor also it's it's

like did he try like try to perfect his method of like just making somebody choke on their food just so he could I just like love the idea of it's one of those things where it's like oh he's choking it's choking it won't go down and some idiot goes well have you tried making it go up if you tried punching him in the stuff Yeah. It's like, well, the door won't open.

It's like, well, have you tried opening it? Well, he's choking. Have you tried air-humping from him from behind? Exactly. But you know what? It's probably one of the most universally taught medical moves. And it's probably saved so many lives. Oh, absolutely. Have you ever done the heimlich on someone? No. Have you wanted to? Because I really want to.

I am CPR certified back in, if this was 2013. So you're no longer CPR certified. No, no. So if you go... How long does your CPR certification last? Two years. You are definitely not. Yeah, yeah.

If you go down, you are... Shit on luck. I will try... It will just look like I'm making up with you on the floor and someone needs to call the ambulance because you're not going to get saved. I learned you're not supposed to be doing the mouth-to-mouth really anymore. Oh, no.

I would go straight mouth to mouth. I think that's really what's going to bring you back. It's just anal probing now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little tickle on the balls and we're right up. You just try pushing up from the other end. I don't know what to do anymore. He's not everything.

If you tried tickling his balls. That usually gets him moving. Or if you're in our comments, give him a wedgy. So there you go. That's one thing. Yeah, that's got to stop. All right, number nine. Sony.

Hmm. I'm going to say no. You are correct. It's actually the term of a sonus, which is audio or, yeah. It's Latin for audio. Yeah. A lot of my equipment, I mean,

my equipment's Sony and I used to use pre-ssonas, so it's kind of very funny that they both use that term. Also, it used to be a slang in the, 1950s for a young boy so learn that Sony yeah I think we could probably

play off a son yeah but number 10 silhouette silhouette silhouette like

that's named after someone Madam silhouette yeah that's Correct. It's not a madam said what. It's Etny D. Silhouette, which is crazy of a name. How did it get named after, is that a boy or girl? I think it's a boy?

Etny? I believe. Spell it for me. Spell it for me. Can you use it as a sentence? Etny D. Silhouette. That's not a sentence. Is written on the paper.

Can I get the origin? Ooh, I wrote it down. I didn't look up the origin, but I would assume French, D, there's a D in the between. D.E is the middle name. D.E? Yeah, so. Like, day? Like, day.

De fire the missiles. Like, that's usually, like, Spanish, like. Oh, yeah, that would be, maybe Spanish. okay all right yeah I don't know I don't know use your

use your Googling skills when you get a whole give it a goo give it a goo give it a goo um 11

jacket jacket oh this is too simple yes it's named after someone incorrect it is common for

short coat or in the olden days a peasant so it's fun okay And last one, number 12, Tupperware. Tupperware, yes, named after someone. It's named after Earl Tupper.

The inventor of Tupper. I think I only got like three wrong there. There was much better than the week prior. Yeah. Some of those are easy. You can tell, like, that's a last name. It's kind of cool. It's kind of cool that when you invent something, you're like, oh, I'll just name after me, you know?

It would be cool. If you could get something named after you, what would it be? Oh, probably the inventor of the parley. The parley? I got a Reminger. You hit your Judd today? Yeah. It hits your Jud.

I got a real heater of a Reminger. Dude, I'm so in on this six-played Jud I have right now. Six-play Judd. If I was much more... Dude, I'll be talking about it in all the group chats. Hell, yeah. The six point Judd, I like it. What would you be?

If you could be named anything that you invent, what would it be? I don't think I, I don't want anything like specific. I really want, like, a sandwich at a deli named after me. The problem is I don't know what the sandwich would be. I think it would be, I wish, like, the club at Schlotsky's was just the Kusky. And I, like, that's, like, my favorite sandwich, or just, like, I've been craving a deli sandwich. I can go on this rant for a while.

But yeah, I want a food item named after me. So I think the thing you need to do first is go to a deli spot that isn't as popular as normal. You know, you can't go to it popular every day. But you have to get a specific sandwich. True. You can't just be like, oh, well, I feel like I'm having roast beef today. No, no, no, you got to get a specific sandwich. that's not on the menu or you're mixing two items that are on the menu

and you have to eat that every day for a long time and like maybe get it cut like a weird way yeah yeah or like give me two toothpicks in it or something like that I need a turkey club one half I need a cut into thirds one of them has to be a triangle the other two are rambuses but you got but it can't be on the menu it can't be on the menu already true I mean, you make a very valid point.

And I also think you need to frequent there a lot. Oh, absolutely. You always go in that sweatsuit and they'll be like, all right, well, he's either in the mob or very comfy. They'll be more infuriating is if I went in this sweatsuit all the time, ordered the sandwich, and then they just named it the sweatsuit and not the kusky. Yes.

You're like, goddamn, how would work. That would piss me off. You have to be like, hey, by the way, I appreciate. that you named sandwich after me but do you think you use my name I think George Webb's could name a combo after

me and basically my father which is a bacon double cheeseburger with fries with the side of pancakes it's it's crazy like I watched this video about like oh they have these special things like they make like Walter White day

yeah you know this guy I was so good at his job of acting in a show they're like we're going to make a day about a fake character who sold meth yeah

what do they celebrate on that day like how do they celebrate I don't know but I think a lot of people just show up to Albuquerque and just dress up in Walter White costumes I assume or throw pizzas on roofs or something which is it's just a weird thing like I get

I've been into a show I really like a show But no show has ever made me go You know what? If they make a day out of this 15 years after I've seen it I'm gonna dress up as that character And I'm gonna travel halfway across the country

It's crazy And some people are so good at that character That like they're only defined by that character There's so many, there's some people that are Like you only see them as that character Rain Wilson, Dwight, he's Dwight Shrew and so many people call him Dwight Shrew. I think there's one that gets overlooked

that we don't think about too much, but if we ever saw this person and saw anything else, we would instantly pick her out. That's Flow from Progressive. Yeah. She can't be in anything else. If she shows up in a movie, they're like, oh, flow from Progressive.

What did she do? Yes. I mean, even, like, there are people, like, you ever watch New Girl? I do Nick from New Girl He's in The newest remake of the mummy

We watched this weekend He's the same guy to me I just see His voice sounds the same And that's not as an extreme example But it's like That's all I see Yeah

There's a good movie That I think he plays Nick in Called Let's Be Cop Yes It's very He's just nick in it Which is very good to his character Of like

Oh he can He knows who he is as an actor And when he is convincing And yeah But yeah He's I also worked with his His uh

Cohert at his podcast Gareth Reynolds I worked with him He's great They seem like nice Chaps Yeah So
