Bret "Fabric" Baier - named for the yards of material used to make the billowy linen shorts that he wears to cover his substantial backside.

Eric "Swayze" Silagy - named for his remarkable resemblance to the actor Patrick Swayze (circa 1987 - Dirty Dancing). "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!"

Nick "Nae Luck" Dawson - he achieved his nickname after an incredible series of misfortunes including picking up a girl in a Glasgow pub and being invited back to her flat, only to see her be run down by a cab on the street outside.

James "Sheets" Moreland - his nickname stems from his remarkable capacity for sleep. The man is a champion napper and man of leisure.
