Secular's answer: Ellis Island name changes
The Secular persona's written answer is read: it describes the grandfather as a controlling man using money to manipulate, explains that a century ago immigrants Americanized names at Ellis Island to escape discrimination (or had names mangled by officials, with a Sioux City Ginsburg/Landsburg anecdote), calls the blackmail shameful, and advises ignoring him. The hosts react with mock agreement that the grandfather may be 'the only sane one' if the groom's name really is something like Hoopty Hooptopolis, and joke about grandparents calling people whatever they want.
