Like for instance someone saying "Gopher John" when answering the phone. What does this mean?

This question has plagued my mind for decades, because the main character of the tv show Eureka, Jack Carter, always answered his radio/phone with this. And to this day I have no idea what words he was saying or why he always said it. I had started to think he was saying "gofer" which is

An employee who runs errands in addition to performing regular duties.

But that seemed a bit weird for the sheriff to say
