This short YouTube monologue by Anwar White encourages viewers to invent a "going-out" name (an alter ego used when socializing). He gives his own example—Antonio, with a playful "old money from Bermuda" backstory—urges people to pick interesting names (not boring or stripper-style), and invites the chat to share their own going-out names.

Tick Tocker. Tick. Who are you? You might be my people from a long time ago. Because people don't call me Anwar unless they know, know, know me.
That's what they used to call me when, when I was out and about. When I was in the club, I had like an alter ego. So one of the things that's like really fun before you go out is make sure that you have a going out name. Don't use your real name. You want to kind of.
You want to put yourself into your alter ego, your Sasha fears. So my going out name was Antonio. And you also have to have a story. And my story was that I'm old money, my family is actually from like Bermuda and we have old oil money. So whatever your story is make you get to be fun about these things because guess what, most of the time when you meet people in real life, it's not serious and it won't go anywhere. But it will still be fun to.
Play the role. So in the chat, let me know what you're going out name is.
Someone said Roxanne Lawasha. I don't know about that.
Stacy, Tommy, Kristen, Ashley, Storm. See, that's what I'm talking about. Make your name interesting.
Don't give me Jen.
Okay.
So if you have a boring going out name, change it and come up with an amazing story where it's that it's interesting. Okay?
Okay.
Also don't make your name a stripper name. No shade.
Thank you. Thank you.
Okay.
Good. I'm glad that you all have a lot of names out there.
