This is an IHeart podcast.

Hey, and welcome to the short stuff.

I'm Josh, and there's Chuck, and Jerry's here, too, setting the tempo, and this is stuff you should know, short stuff.

That's right.

I guess you could have said there's mm and I'm and there's mm.

I wish I had now. Maybe we should retake the whole thing.

Nah. We're too far in now.

A dumb joke because what we're talking about is naming and specifically sort of like the rules and laws about naming somebody and having a name and if you need a name legally.

This is so in our wheelhouse, man.

We've been talking about this stuff since basically day one of stuff you should know.

Yeah, this seemed familiar enough to where I thought we might have done it.

No, we haven't done this particularly, but we've talked about, I think, in some of like our videos, maybe, about

people who gave their kids weird names, like, I will never forget, yeah, Detroit. You remember?

I forgot about that, yeah. But we're talking about today is... Which was a name, by the way.

Yes, somebody tried to name their kid, yeah, Detroit. Right. One word. And there might have been an exclamation point. I don't

remember. You got to have one. The best name, or at least attempted name I've ever heard. Or maybe an

intrarbang. Yeah. Yeah. So we're talking about something a little more specific today, though. We're

talking about can you live without a name? Is it something you could possibly do?

And the short answer is no. The bigger answer is even more interesting than just being told no.

Yeah, I mean, it's not illegal to not have a name, but try getting through life without a name.

It's going to be a big pain. So like getting a job, getting a driver's license, just almost anything that you do

these days might require some form of identification.
