Oh yeah, many people ask where we got the name - BUDDY-X. It comes from the old days when my pals and I would be at a club and in walked a total babe with some goof-ball on her arm. We would stare in disbelief and ask each other: "What's SHE doin' with Buddy-X?" It also was used to fondly refer to the incognito friend or two who wished to remain underground...

John Doe, Buddy-X, J.Q. Public - they're all the same dude...
