Going undercover.

I'm Jason Horton. I'm Rebecca Leeb. And this is Ghost Town. What's in a name? A lot, if you're the head of the free world, I would say. But today we won't be talking about POTUS and Flotus's given name names. We'll be talking about their code names. The admittedly

not-so-secret names they receive from the Secret Service when they become of

such importance that they need a Secret Service codename at all. It's one of the most fascinating

aspects of the United States Secret Service, in my opinion, the inspiration for these names

being bizarre and added insight into some of the most high-ranking officials on the planet.

Today on Ghost Town, the history of secret service code names

and the infamous presidential figures who called them their own.

So, Jason, do you know anyone's any presidential secret service names off the bat,

like off the top of your head?

Now, no, I'm thinking of Lady Bird Johnson.

That's not.

That's her actual, well, it's not her actual name. It's a name, yeah, yeah, but. But it might as well be a code name, right? It's unique enough where you're like, not everyone's, you don't have lady birds walking around everywhere. Is there like something like, something eagle or? The eagle, yeah, there's some eagles in there too you're on the right track i didn't know any i

i don't i think i have been kind of ignorant of this uh this niche in presidential history for a long

time but it's always cool to hear them and i know that i've heard them before but maybe that's

the perfect secret service name something that if I do hear, I won't remember.
