Episode Description

On this upcoming episode, we dig into the weird, wild, and mildly confusing world of nicknames.  If you've ever wondered why your Uncle Greg is called "Spud" or how we got the name "Peg" from "Margaret," we'll name names.  Also, we unravel the mystery of Airline Chimes.  You've heard them, but what do they really mean?  Plus, we'll discuss one of the most misleading lies that society tells itself - "I Slept Like a Baby".  As any bleary-eyed parent will tell you, it's one phrase that makes absolutely no sense!  So join host Rick Peterson as he tackles more of the questions you've Always Wondered about.
