A while back, our Quiz Guy John Chaneski gave us a game of aptronyms, and your answers are still pouring in. Like, what do you call two guys over a window? How about Kurt n’ Rod? This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Kurt and Rod”
Grant, we are still hearing from listeners following up on that quiz that we had about people’s names after nims. You know, what do you call the guys standing next to a hole with a shovel? The answer was supposedly Doug, I think, or Barry.
Yeah, but Steven Markley wrote us to say that obviously the guy’s name is Phil. I love it.
And then a listener from Madison, Wisconsin, wrote us to say, what do you call those two guys over a window? Kurt and Rod.
I’m not going to let go of this until we get to the end of it. There’s no end of it. We’ll never sleep.
Kurt and Rod. I thought that was brilliant. That is brilliant.
