Fameless Last Words
My Friend Irving Dong
When you were a kid, were you given a ridiculous nickname by your family or friends? Is there a story behind it, or was it for no reason at all?
In this episode find out why Greg calls his son "Taco"; Mike revisits "Mondo Schnoz-Monster", the high school moniker given to him by his pals; and Greg's mom Kathy joins the podcast to talk about Irving Dong, the hysterically bizarre childhood nickname given to Greg by his grandfather. When Mike learned about Greg's nickname over twenty years ago, he was immediately inspired to write a short song for Greg called "The Ballad of Irving Dong", and Mike has re-recorded it for your enjoyment.
Share your stupid nickname with us, we'd love to hear all about it!
