"What's in a name? That which we call a podcast by any other word would smell as sweet..."

So here's the situation... Our parents went away on a week's vacation–JK JK. But for real, we took a break after season one and reassessed what we wanted to do for season two, and lo and behold, we both wanted to move away from our initial idea of doing high school-themed interviews. And now we've realized that we need a new name. So technically, this episode is the first episode of whatever the new podcast will be, but we didn't want to lose all of our loyal fans. Please enjoy this episode and feel free to weigh in with ideas for our new moniker. 

Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Okay, so here's the situation. We have completely wiped the slate clean of our former podcast, which was about high school, and we had guests on and we talked about their experiences, and it was awesome. And we took a break to retool what we were doing, and our first jaunt into what we thought was going to be the thing that we were doing didn't work out so hot. So we retooled again. Um, and we have landed on a new podcast theme, which is basically it's a podcast about nothing. So basically, it's Seinfeld. We're doing Seinfeld as as a podcast.

SPEAKER_02 0:42

Look, okay, here's my elevator pitch that I've been telling people. Tell us your pitch. Two high school BFFs reconnect. Although not really, we have been connected, but we're reconnecting on the internets to catch up and talk about things from then and now.

SPEAKER_01 1:01

You want to name it then and now, you want to name it that. So bashed.

SPEAKER_02 1:05

No, that's not on my list. Unfortunately, everything I came up with is already the name of a podcast, so slim pickens out there.

SPEAKER_01 1:13

Um, I thought of a really awesome one. We'll get to it in a second, but I realized it was a nickname for an entire fucking city. I Googled it and I was like, that uh how did I think of that? Probably heard it somewhere. What we're doing today is we are recording ourselves renaming our podcast. Rebranding? Is it a renaming? We are picking a new name. Can we just catch up first? How are we doing today? I'm fucking terrible.

SPEAKER_02 1:46

Okay, so we're in we're in the perfect mindset to rebrand this podcast.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

Yeah, everything is fine. No, I'm fine. Uh, let's catch up. How do you think?

SPEAKER_02 1:56

Thank you for asking how I'm doing. How are you? I'm doing I'm doing great. Uh I am tired, uh, but I have had coffee and food and water and vitamins, so the day can only go up from here.

SPEAKER_01 2:13

That sounds good and very matter-of-facty. What did you have for food today? What food items?

SPEAKER_02 2:21

I have the exact same protein shake every single morning. That's not food, that's a drink. Well, it was food, but I blended it because there's banana in there and there's yogurt. So it was food that has become a drink. Basically, it gives me all of my nutrients for the day, and then the rest of the day it can just be fucking garbage because it doesn't matter, because I've already gotten my fibers and my proteins and all the good stuff. Okay, well, let's we got the pleasantries out of the way. I hope all the listeners, all listener is doing well. Yeah, lit so listener, we are I guess we're still deciding. Are we gonna rename this podcast? I don't know. If you have thoughts, you should call our hotline that still exists because we'd love to hear from you.

SPEAKER_01 3:05

Do you have a good name for our podcast? Do you have a good name? Because clearly we don't have a good idea.

SPEAKER_02 3:11

Oh once we realize once we go through all of our ideas and we realize none of these are good, you should call and give us your good ideas.

SPEAKER_01 3:20

Do you have one that's like okay, if we can't think of anything else, we're just gonna do this? Because I do.

SPEAKER_02 3:26

Yeah, it's called Welcome Back to High School.

SPEAKER_01 3:28

It's called Stop Changing the Name of Your Podcast.

SPEAKER_02 3:32

It's called what it is.

SPEAKER_01 3:35

Okay. Do you want to go? I I kind of want you to go first because I made the thumbs up.

SPEAKER_02 3:41

Mine are such garbage. Uh, I'm just gonna I think there's maybe like two that I that are like serious ones, and the rest are just like garbage. Um I don't even know. I've got so many here. So should I just go down the list?

SPEAKER_01 3:56

Uh I think just start with the first one, and then we'll know what to do after that.

SPEAKER_02 4:00

All right. Well, the first one is bad, uh, but again, very difficult to come up with an original podcast name because they've all been taken.

SPEAKER_01 4:09

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 4:09

Uh, this is a little witty one. It's called Imprompt 2, but instead of two at the end, it's the number two because there's two of us.

SPEAKER_01 4:21

Should I just make the noise? Next. Okay. It feels like a boy band from Sri Lanka. Like, no, impromptu, like, no.

SPEAKER_02 4:36

I actually over the weekend I was in Seattle and I went to um a store called Archie McPhee's, which is basically a huge store filled with garbage and crap. Um, and I bought these little figurines, four little kitty cats, all with headsets on, and they're it's a cat boy band group. Oh, and they're called Hiss Two Per.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

See, I now you understand why I'm like, no, it's a boy band.

SPEAKER_02 5:02

Yeah, but I love it. So it's what's why I vote for it.

SPEAKER_01 5:06

Okay, next.

SPEAKER_02 5:07

Yours are gonna be serious. I know. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_01 5:09

Now, now, oh, you want me to we'll go tit for tat?

SPEAKER_02 5:11

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

Okay, my first one is we talked about this, so it's not a surprise, but it is in honor of Cantors in Los Angeles. My first offering would be the kibbutz room. Was it already taken?

SPEAKER_02 5:27

Uh, I think there is a podcast with kibbutz in the name. Okay. And you would not be surprised to know it's a Jewish podcast.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

Of course, because it's kibbitz.

SPEAKER_02 5:38

Yeah. But I do love that name.

SPEAKER_01 5:42

Okay, I'm gonna put it in the maybe column. Um Okay. Because maybe.

SPEAKER_02 5:49

But and and listener, yeah, it's called just the kibbutz podcast.

SPEAKER_01 5:54

So uh kibbitz, the way we're using it is is a Yiddish terminology about chatting and talking. I could just say it's about talking shit, like just talking shit, catching up. Yeah, and there's a bar in LA called the kibbutz room that we used to go to. We would get we would get delicious bagels and and things at canters, and then we would go to the kibbutz room and have a beer and sit.

SPEAKER_02 6:20

I saw lots of celebrities there. It's good celeb spot spot and spot.

SPEAKER_01 6:24

Tell us tell us about these celebs that you saw.

SPEAKER_02 6:27

I mean, I don't remember who they were because I drank heavily and I don't have any memories left, but I do remember seeing celebrities there.

SPEAKER_01 6:34

I think you saw Keanu Reeves. I'm just gonna say it.

SPEAKER_02 6:39

Did we see uh Drew Barrymore? Was that at Swingers or is that in the kibbutz room? I have no memory of that. But put that pen down. You're gonna click that pen.

SPEAKER_01 6:51

I'm not gonna click the pen, but the next time I see Miss Barrymore, I'll ask her if I ever saw her at the kibbutz room.

SPEAKER_02 6:57

Okay, name droppy.

SPEAKER_01 6:59

It's like no big deal.

SPEAKER_02 7:02

The next time I see Drudiru, I'll ask her. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Okay, the kibbutz room is a good one.

SPEAKER_01 7:09

I putting it in the maybe pile.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

Yeah, put that in like the the not trash pile.

SPEAKER_01 7:14

Okay, not trash. Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna label these trash and not trash.

SPEAKER_02 7:21

All right, so here's here's one that I somewhat serious. Uh your ears must be burning.

SPEAKER_01 7:29

I was waiting for you to follow that's phrasing with with the sentence. Uh I like it. Could it be, are your ears burning? Yeah, we could do, we could do, we could riff on it. Or like burn the burning ear podcast.

SPEAKER_02 7:45

Yeah, something. But I was like, I like the idea of, you know. I like that. Someone's talking about you.

SPEAKER_01 7:52

Uh, I had something similar. We'll transition right into my next one, Speak of the Devil.

SPEAKER_02 7:59

Oh, that's a good one too.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

Um, I have that on the list. I have a name app, like notes app thing. I've been trying to name something in my life, Speak of the Devil, for like 20 years.

SPEAKER_02 8:14

Um how is that not a podcast? Is it uh is it a mental show?

SPEAKER_01 8:18

I'm sure it's a podcast. It's probably a a religious podcast about the devils.

SPEAKER_02 8:24

Um uh speak of the devil. It sure is. Yeah, there's speak of the devil and speak of the devils.

SPEAKER_01 8:31

There's several. Is there devil of the speak? Um, speak of the devil by Nick Wong.

SPEAKER_02 8:37

Devil of the Speak is a great at is also transitions wonderfully into my next suggestion.

SPEAKER_01 8:44

Okay, so Speak of the Devil's.

SPEAKER_02 8:45

Because it's because it's a flip-flop of the words.

SPEAKER_01 8:48

I what is it?

SPEAKER_02 8:50

Company loves misery.

SPEAKER_01 8:52

I love that. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 8:54

I kind of love that one too.

SPEAKER_01 8:56

Company loves Okay, so here's the hard part. I feel like I want to be, and I hate using this fucking word because the internet's destroyed it. I want to be intentional with what we choose. And I wonder if that sounds like a horror movie vibe.

SPEAKER_02 9:13

Like company because it has because it has misery in it?

SPEAKER_01 9:16

Yeah, it I think just because of the movie, but and then it's like, and then it reminds me of Collective Soul. Um they say misery, loves company. That's them, right? Or is it Candle Box? I don't know. You know every song! You know Misery?

SPEAKER_02 9:35

Misery?

SPEAKER_01 9:36

Candle box.

SPEAKER_02 9:37

I who it's a song.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

Okay, I'm putting it's in the maybes. Um, okay. Um, my next one uh is something we also talked about, and it's friends was taken.

SPEAKER_02 9:51

Friends was taken is a good one. Friends was taken because we're friends. To be to be followed by my uh idea, friends again.

SPEAKER_01 10:01

Friends again. That sounds like friends that weren't friends that are back to friends. And it sort of sounds like a morning after pill or something. Like it sounds weird.

SPEAKER_02 10:10

I'm saying no. We did we did fight and then we got back together, so I'm just saying not a lie.

SPEAKER_01 10:17

Not a lie.

SPEAKER_02 10:18

No.

SPEAKER_01 10:19

Um, okay. I thought of one that makes no sense, but I I wrote it down anyway. Um, immersive human. Your face is so good. It's like you ate something bad. I'm putting it in the trash. Immersive human. Okay, my name. Oh, wait, I just went. You go, you go, what you got?

SPEAKER_02 10:42

I'm just gonna go down the list because the rest of them are not really that good. Uh long chords. Like long phone cords.

SPEAKER_01 10:50

Long chords. I like it because I like the postal service naming of things, like yeah. Could it be like long phone chords?

SPEAKER_02 11:03

Phone you could do whatever you want with that seed of an idea.

SPEAKER_01 11:08

Long chords, maybe long distance calls.

SPEAKER_02 11:12

Long distance?

SPEAKER_01 11:13

We're going LD.

SPEAKER_02 11:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

Um, okay, this one is a is a love song. Uh Just the Two of Us. Which which then led me to you and I, which is an underrated emo core band. Could it be just the two of us? And then a subhead is you and I.

SPEAKER_02 11:39

I'm sorry. You didn't like impromptu, but you wanted to do just the two of us? No, get out of here. Trash pile.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

Trash. I don't need to write down the trash because I have a but wait, and then a play on that. We'll just close out. Oh, I hit the mic. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 11:55

SPEAKER_01 11:55

Um, we'll just close that out. Um, it us.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

Oh, I love that.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

Do you really? Who doesn't love late night pizza? I don't know. I thought that would be such a bad name for a podcast.

SPEAKER_01 15:52

No, I think it's fucking awesome.

SPEAKER_02 15:54

Uh, friendship bracelets, also not taken, which is wild.

SPEAKER_01 15:59

I would love it if we were eight years old. I'm not mad at it, but it doesn't like I'm not attached to any of these.

SPEAKER_02 16:11

The only one I was really attached to is Impromptu, and that was something like a boy band about cats.

SPEAKER_01 16:20

Okay, continue. Okay, okay. Uh, I'm writing it down just because I I like it, but not for us. For us, uh Braze. No, it's not good. I'm not writing I'm scratching it out. Okay, my next one is a Beatles nod. I don't know why. It is I read the news today. Oh boy.

SPEAKER_02 16:44

I don't think I have any other songies. Um okay okay, what's your next one?

SPEAKER_02 17:17

Uh laugh louder.

SPEAKER_01 17:20

SPEAKER_00 17:53

SPEAKER_01 18:35

I'm putting it down for Cornelius to look up.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 18:38

Yes, Cornelius is our producer from last season.

SPEAKER_02 18:41

Cornelius is still around. He's we we fired him, but he won't leave.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

Nope, convo's not taken. Really? Convos with kiddos. Convo Chinese, convos convocation unscripted. I think that means something else. Okay, convo. I don't know if it's good though. Just because it's not taken, I don't know. Uh, next one is no news is good news. It sounds like a news podcast podcast. Yeah. Okay, and my last one. Oh, my last one in this series, meh, M P H meh.

SPEAKER_02 19:24

Meh's pretty good. Yeah, yeah. But how is that not taken?

SPEAKER_01 19:28

I don't know. I didn't do my research. I'm a very good thing.

SPEAKER_02 19:31

We're gonna have to have us our next episode is gonna be us finding out these are all already names of podcasts.

SPEAKER_01 19:37

There is no podcast called Meh. Really? Meh. There's a lot of people named Medy.

SPEAKER_02 19:52

You just busted out the net so fast. I told you this was gonna be fun.

SPEAKER_01 20:07

Okay, meth going on maybe next to Convo. Okay, you you do some.

SPEAKER_02 20:12

Here are three really bad ideas in succession.

SPEAKER_01 20:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 20:18

Ring a ding dong.

SPEAKER_00 20:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 20:30

Oh yeah. What about podcast podcasts? It's a podcast called podcast. It's a podcast podcast. Podcast podcast. No? Okay. Uh Swing By with Amy and Jesse.

SPEAKER_01 20:47

Fully a swingers club, club bar thing. No, yeah. Podcast, podcasts.

SPEAKER_02 20:56

Not taken. Not tak I looked it up. Podcast, podcast. Not taken.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

I'm sweating and I can't.

SPEAKER_02 21:09

Ring a ding dong is off.

SPEAKER_00 21:12

What song is that from? I don't know. Ding dong. Ring a ding dong.

SPEAKER_02 21:16

Ring a ding-ding-ding-dong. Oh, that's uh is that Dr. Dre?

SPEAKER_00 21:19

It is, it's Dr. Dre.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

Yeah. Okay, so those are all off. All right.

SPEAKER_01 21:26

Um, I've got new newness. No. Nope. Uh oh, I had Matt on here twice. That's so good. Yeah, the listed twice. Um oh, this one is very much inspired by I don't know what. Uh Love You Buy. That's a good one. Love you by.

SPEAKER_02 21:46

But could that also be like a relationship podcast?

SPEAKER_01 21:50

I think it's more about the Lovies. I think so. Okay. Uh, under Love You By, I have Hot Goss. Hot Goss. Huck Us.

SPEAKER_02 22:00

Hakos. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:02

That sounds like a gossip, gossip podcast.

SPEAKER_02 22:06

Yeah, and someone's gonna listen to find out like what's the latest on Summer House, and then we're not gonna be talking about that. So, you know.

SPEAKER_01 22:13

No, because I don't even know what that is.

SPEAKER_02 22:15

Um get off my podcast right now.

SPEAKER_01 22:17

Get off my porch lawn.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

Maybe this should be called Get Off My Podcast.

SPEAKER_01 22:21

Get off another. And this is a podcast about jerking off.

SPEAKER_02 22:25

Oh, this is true.

SPEAKER_01 22:26

Get off.

SPEAKER_00 22:27

That's get off on on my podcast. Getting off on my podcast. Okay, okay. The next one is is pretty great. What's up?

SPEAKER_02 22:44

What's up? No, I'm sorry. That is definitely already taken.

SPEAKER_00 22:48

What's up?

SPEAKER_02 22:50

Way too casual.

SPEAKER_01 22:52

Okay. This one I had two different ways, or three ways, because you can see the the progression. It started as reality bytes, and then it went to reality bits, and then it went to bits. None of which are good.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

None of them, none of them are good.

SPEAKER_01 23:10

Okay, okay, you go.

SPEAKER_02 23:13

Are you out? Do you have uh no? I have a couple Nort. I have KIT. Uh which surprisingly is not the name of a podcast.

SPEAKER_01 23:23

But would it be Keep in Touch in long format and we just call it KIT? I'm putting it down. I think it's good.

SPEAKER_02 23:31

Keep in touch is already a podcast, but KIT it's not.

SPEAKER_01 23:35

I so when I when I picture myself with the future name of whatever, I imagine myself at a party and it's loud, and somebody you don't want to be talking to is talking to you, and they're like, What's the name of your podcast? And you put your hand over your mouth and you go, KITCAS podcast.

SPEAKER_00 23:55

Ring a ding dong.

SPEAKER_02 23:59

Ding ding dong, the witch is dead. Ding dong, it's a podcast. Ding dong. Knock knock. Yeah, I know. Well, KIT was like earlier in my thought process, so I just kept it on the list. Um, this one I really like, which actually was spurred by a conversation we had earlier today. It's called Tragically Unprepared.

SPEAKER_01 24:27

Trag I'm writing it down. Tragically unprepared. I'm not mad at it.

SPEAKER_02 24:35

Because that's what we are.

SPEAKER_01 24:36

Tragically unprepared with Amy and Jesse.

SPEAKER_02 24:39

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 24:40

I'm not mad at it.

SPEAKER_02 24:41

Okay. And then my last one might be the best one. Welcome back to high school.

SPEAKER_01 24:50

The last one is the stop overthinking it, you fucking idiots. Oh, I have more. I have like 10 more at least.

SPEAKER_02 25:03

Okay. Well, you worked in advertising, so you're you're built for this.

SPEAKER_01 25:07

I have a need for speed. Um, okay. I'm just gonna go rapidly.

SPEAKER_02 25:12

Speed three.

SPEAKER_01 38:47

SPEAKER_02 38:50

To me, when I hear till the wheels fall off, it's like you're just doing something until Till it's dead. Yeah, absolutely can't do it anymore. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:59

That's that feels that feels a little too self-deprecating. Yeah. Yeah. What if people listen to this episode and steal all of our bad ideas?

SPEAKER_02 39:11

If someone comes up, if someone starts podcast, podcasts, I'm gonna be really upset.

SPEAKER_01 39:16

Friendship bracelets. Okay, so we have tragically unprepared, meh, same time next Tuesday. We have three. How is meh not a podcast? Meh. It's so it's so internet, it's so good. There is a podcast called the Meh Podcast. But that's called the Meh Podcast. We can just have one called meh.

SPEAKER_01 39:52

SPEAKER_02 40:27

We have two tragic scenes prepared. It's one from each of us, and we did not do that on purpose. I'm so proud of us. I know. We're so diplomatic. So democratic. Democratic? Was that the word I was looking for?

SPEAKER_01 40:42

No, both are good. Uh also we could call it trash, not trash. Those are the list names that I had. Trash, not trash. Man or astro man, trash or not trash. Same time next Tuesday. Okay, I'm writing one on one piece of paper.

SPEAKER_02 41:00

Or tragically unprepared.

SPEAKER_01 41:03

I have to say, I don't think I would wear merch from either of these names. We don't need merch. Everybody needs merch! Okay, well, I think we need to put tragically unprepared and same time. You know, the funny thing is they are opposite names because tragically unprepared is like we are tragically unprepared for our podcast. Whereas the other one, same time next Tuesday, is like, I'll see you next Tuesday, I'm prepared for it.

SPEAKER_02 41:34

That doesn't mean we're prepared, that just means it's on the calendar.

SPEAKER_01 41:38

Girl, if it's on the calendar, I'm prepared. Except for today, because I mean this podcast. Except today, because I needed to eat a sandwich, and the sandwich store was full.

SPEAKER_02 41:49

I just like how both of them really roll off the tongue.

SPEAKER_01 41:54

They do. I don't like how either of them, though, neither of them lend to good branding or merch. It has to I have to want to wear it on a shirt. I know we're never making a shirt, but that's how I pick my names.

SPEAKER_02 42:10

Tragically unprepared would be such a great shirt. What are you talking about? Everyone who's tragically unprepared would wear the shirt.

SPEAKER_01 42:18

You're correct.

SPEAKER_02 42:18

It's like the shirts that say, like, I need coffee before I do anything, you know?

SPEAKER_01 42:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 42:24

It could be a pajama, it could be a shirt.

unknown 42:27

It could be a pajama.

SPEAKER_02 42:29

Not plural, it's a pajama. It's one pajama. You wear your pajama. Llama llama red singular pajama. You don't wear two pajamas.

SPEAKER_01 42:42

But you say I have to go put on my pajamas. Not my pajama.

SPEAKER_02 42:47

Maybe I say I put on pajamas.

SPEAKER_01 42:50

Fuck your pajama. You never say singular pajamas.

SPEAKER_02 42:54

It could be on a coffee mug. Oh my god, a coffee mug. They're both good on you're right.

SPEAKER_01 43:00

You've completely changed my mind. You know, uh I've been told in my life that I'm a stubborn person, but I feel like you're like one of the few people on the planet that can change my mind. Do you think I'm stubborn? I don't think so. Great, we did therapy. We're good. It'll be $280.

SPEAKER_02 43:23

Uh no, I don't think so. Well, no, the answer would be like, well, do you want to be stubborn? Do you not want to be stubborn? And then when you answer it, I'll just agree with you.

SPEAKER_01 43:33

No, you're not. People pleasing. People pleasing.

SPEAKER_02 43:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:36

It's a nobody tragically unper Oh, they're everywhere. Everyone wears trucker hats in Ting Tong, Tennessee, where I live. That's where you the rest of the country.

SPEAKER_02 43:58

Nobody wears trucker hats. But a hat, yes, a hat.

SPEAKER_01 44:02

A dad hat, a five panel hat, a button. I'm kind of envisioning it kind of in script. I'm that kind of envisioning it in Comic Sans or the 70s fuzzy letter font.

SPEAKER_02 44:14

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 44:15

Like the Ironon letters.

SPEAKER_02 44:17

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:18

Or maybe a mishmash of both.

SPEAKER_02 44:20

Yeah. I mean it doesn't have to have it doesn't have to have a logo. It's just the name.

SPEAKER_01 44:25

Well, we got that logo. There will, but there will be a logo on the icon in the podcast. You might deny me merch, but there has to be a visual element of a fucking five by five square on the podcast.

SPEAKER_02 44:36

I'm not denying you anything. You sure are. You can have the whole pajamas. I want a pajum. Veruca, you can have it all, okay? I want a golden goose now, Danny. Oh my god. Alright, are we calling this podcast Tragically Unprepared?

SPEAKER_01 45:16

We should say goodbye. We did it.

SPEAKER_02 45:18

We should.

SPEAKER_01 45:19

We named it. We named our podcast. Should we have like option one, option two, or option three? You guys are nuts and these are both terrible.

SPEAKER_02 45:28

Um, well, on the hotline, I think you could call in and and tell us if any of our final ideas are good or if you have a better one.

SPEAKER_01 45:37

Okay. Better one is go fuck yourself.

SPEAKER_02 45:40

Better one is I thought it was a Pearl Jam song. That's called Better Man. Maybe we should just call a better one.

SPEAKER_01 45:46
