Zeke Peña: Hello, my name is Zeke Peña, and I always tell everyone that my name rhymes with geek and freak, because when I was in elementary school that's what a lot of the kids would use to rhyme with my name. Zeke the geek or Zeke the freak. There's actually a really cool Garbage Pail Kids card that I have, and none of you all will get that reference, but you can Google it or YouTube it and look up what Garbage Pail Kids are. I love these from when I was a kid, and there is actually a Zeke the Freak Garbage Pail card, and it's obviously my favorite one because it has my name. But my full name is actually Ezequiel. Ezequiel Andres Peña, and Ezequiel is basically just the Spanish spelling and pronunciation of Ezekiel, which comes from the Bible.
