Mark Oppenheimer's piece "Where Have All The Nicknames Gone?" in The Wall Street Journal (April 18th, 2025) caught Michael's eye: Oppenheimer writes "Calling a friend TJ, Curly or Crazy Legs used to be a sign of affection. Not anymore, thanks to fear of giving offense or sounding unprofessional." Hear members of the audience call in using only their nicknames to identify them. We've got some great names of people who listen! Original air date 21 April 2025.
