Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ – on this Wednesday, December 13th, 2023. Let’s learn something together:
- In 2001, Ichiro Suzuki refused to tell the media the name of his dog . . . because, quote, “I do not have the dog’s permission.” Somehow it eventually got out that the dog’s name was Ikky. And Ikky was newsworthy, because a few years later, Ichiro credited him with convincing him to stay with the Seattle Mariners . . . quote, “He said, ‘Woof, woof, woof,’ which meant, ‘Stay, stay, stay.’ Of course, I listened.”
- The trench coat got its name because British and French soldiers wore long coats in the trenches of World War One.
- When he was on “Miami Vice”, Philip Michael Thomas came up with the idea of the “EGOT.” That’s where you win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. He even wore a gold medallion that said “EGOT,” because he wanted to win them all. But as of today, he’s never even been nominated for ANY of them.
- Lil Wayne’s original rap name was Shrimp Daddy.
- Asperger syndrome is named after a doctor named Hans Asperger from Austria, who worked with the Nazis during World War Two.
