Are You Okay with This?

**Jerry** (0:19)
Oh, yeah!

**Hammer** (0:20)
So normally, Nigel will run these stories by me.
But since Nigel is recovering from extreme hemorrhoids, and he's out, Jerry Lopez, Indy Spanglish, he's filling in. He's gonna run the stories by me.

**Jerry** (0:36)
Yeah, I hope that tube from ZVS is working out great, Nigel. Sit on the middle so the hemorrhoids don't act up.

**Hammer** (0:43)
I hope he's getting all the text, because every time we make up a new ailment for Nigel, he gets somebody texting him, like, I hope he's on the beach right now, and somebody just sent him a text. How are the hemorrhoids doing, buddy?

**Jerry** (0:55)
I think his Valtryek's prescription got sent yesterday, actually. This is one that's kind of close to home, Hammer.

**Hammer** (1:01)
Okay.

**Jerry** (1:02)
New survey found that 18% of Americans make assumptions about somebody based on their first name, and Gen Z is most likely to do it. We can all guess what the worst first name is, Karen.
But man, I'm a Jerry. So are people making assumptions on me based on my first name?

**Hammer** (1:21)
See, when I hear the name Jerry, I think of somebody that's kind of wacky. I think of Jerry Seinfeld. I think of Jerry Lewis. I don't have any sort of negative connotation.
I think of somebody that's going to make me laugh. But when I think of Karen, you're right. I think of somebody that's going to throw a fit in an Applebee's and demand to speak to the manager. And there's going to be some poor cuck of a husband or boyfriend that's just sitting there embarrassed, but too afraid to say anything.

**Jerry** (1:49)
So if you're married to Karen, you're not letting her make reservations. This is going to under Jason, not Karen.

**Hammer** (1:54)
Karen has the Kate Gosselin style hair, which, by the way, not to go off in a rabbit hole here, I guess one of the kids from the John and Kate Plus 8, kind of the one that was estranged and went to therapy, he's supposed to have some new tell-all book coming out where he just buries Kate Gosselin. Because on the TV show, like my wife used to watch this, like they make Kate look like this bubbly mom that loves everybody, and they almost vilified the dad. They made him like the scumbag. But this new tell-all book from like the youngest son, baby, it's role reversal. So maybe we can get him on the show when that happens.

**Jerry** (2:38)
That would be crazy. Mary Kate Plus 8 Plus, the one that's writing the book and we're in trouble now.

**Hammer** (2:42)
Right. I'm looking at this survey. I just now looked it up here.
Some of the first names that are the most judged, Karen, that we talked about, Chad, Donald, John and Damien. Now, Donald, of course, I think it's probably because of the president. But Allison, jump on here. When you hear the name Chad, what goes through your mind when you hear the name Chad? What are the immediate stereotypes?

**Allison** (3:09)
I'm thinking like Chad Michael Murray, to be honest.

**Jerry** (3:13)
I don't know who that is.

**Hammer** (3:14)
Oh, like a 90s kind of heartthrob.

**Allison** (3:16)
90s heartthrob or just 90s pretty boy. That's what I'm thinking.

**Hammer** (3:21)
Okay, Chad.

**Allison** (3:21)
That's my generation.

**Hammer** (3:23)
What about Damien? See, I think of one of the crazy kids in the Omen. Damien was like the lunatic, like hellbound kid in the Omen. That's what I think of when I hear that.

**Allison** (3:33)
I could see that. Yeah.

**Jerry** (3:34)
What about a Dakota? You're swiping right on a Dakota.

**Hammer** (3:37)
Dakota Fanning?

**Allison** (3:39)
Oh, a man named Dakota.

**Hammer** (3:41)
Oh, OK, a man's name.

**Jerry** (3:42)
Dakota.

**Hammer** (3:43)
I don't know if I know a man named Dakota.

**Allison** (3:45)
I'm sure there is one. He's kind of badass a little bit.

**Jerry** (3:48)
Hey, how about this one? I know this is close to home for you. Tell Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, you're a Swiftie, supposedly tying the knot in Madison Square Garden.
Taylor loves castles. Are you OK with this?

**Hammer** (4:00)
So I want to defer to Alison on this one. So Madison Square Garden holds around 18000 fans.
We're being told that about 1000, only 1000 will be at this wedding. If this is indeed where it takes place, there's a stage, there's castles. Feels like it's kind of a waste of the world's greatest arena when you've got 17000 empty seats. Is this something that you're OK with?

**Allison** (4:29)
I mean, that's hilarious if you build a castle in there. But tinfoil hat time for Allison, I think this is all just rumors and a ruse.
