SPEAKER_01 0:07

What's happening?

SPEAKER_00 0:08

What what did I you know I walk around with my headphones on, my my my headphones when I take them out, then when I and then and then but I take them out of my ears and then I forget that anyway, it goes straight to my headphones. But then we tried I I like to talk with my headphones in, but I can't because it's bad sound quality. Yeah, it's not well quality. Are you there?

SPEAKER_01 0:35

That's another sad.

SPEAKER_00 0:36

It's happened again. It went see.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

I all right. I got it.

SPEAKER_00 0:40

See, this is a problem. Should we start over?

SPEAKER_01 0:42

Yeah, no, we don't have to. You're you're it's not well quality. Not well quality. That's it's not well quality at all. Another sadism that we use all the time. Uh-huh. Yeah. It's not well quality.

SPEAKER_00 0:57

It's not well quality today. No, no. And it's my fault again. Because I'm just I'm just busy and then I'm I got my head. Like I will say this. There's been days when I turn it off when I know you're gonna be calling me, and I turn it off, and then I don't, and then it's well quality.

SPEAKER_01 1:14

Well, you know, it we've established you don't plan plan well. Um but you know, you would think that I mean you know when I'm calling, right? It's in the it's in the name of the whatever podcast. Well, it's not a podcast yet, uh podcast planning, whatever this is. So, you know.

SPEAKER_00 1:36

Well speaking of that, I I I've been I've been getting some feedback uh from one of our listeners, and and the the SS part is kind of makes it sound a little Nazi.

SPEAKER_01 1:46

I I said that day one.

SPEAKER_00 1:49

You I know you did, but I I it it it's it, but you said, but then we kept it, and we need to like, I think I've got a new name. I think we need a new name because we're we haven't launched it yet, right? When we launched the podcast, we and all I can do, I can change the name and the logo, and then it's still everything's still in the same feed. Yeah, so all the old ones, you know. Oh I want to see if you like my new name.

SPEAKER_01 2:14

What? Go.

SPEAKER_00 2:15

Are you ready?

SPEAKER_01 2:16

Yeah, are are you sitting down? Are you standing up? I'm standing up drinking my coffee like I do every time at eight o'clock.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

Yeah, okay. Here's here it is. Don't prejudge, just give me a chance, just give it a chance, let it soak into your brain a minute. I okay. Okay, you ready? I'm ready. 88 infinity. No, 80, no, 88 infinity.

SPEAKER_01 2:44

How is that how was that different than the first time you said it?

SPEAKER_00 2:48

Because I got it was not 88 infinity, it's 88 infinity because that's such a cool word, infinity. And you know what's cool about eights? They're like infinity sideways. Well, maybe infinity is an sideways.

SPEAKER_01 3:07

Yeah, I don't think infinity is uh upper downer. It's just infinity. But why infinity is 88 is why with all the like how do you how is that different then? And is it spelled different or is it just pronounced differently? Oh, it's just okay. Now your technology infinity, huh?

SPEAKER_00 3:31

Yeah, so how do you spell that? Eight, eight, the numbers, and then the then I think you would just put an infinity sign, which is another eight sideways.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

Yeah. Yeah, okay. I'm I'm I'm not gonna judge.

SPEAKER_00 3:46

I'll let it I'll you'll let it soak in. You'll and you'll think of some. You'll think of some because it's SS part. I don't know. Like I'm starting to think like now other people are noticing it, and it's and it seems a little, it's not it's not our brand, it's off brand for us. No, we doesn't matter that our names are Steve and Satchel. That doesn't matter to the podcast. What matters, and it but but the the eight minutes is important. There's the beep.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

What about if we said uh my suggestion early on was just put a tiny little N in between the two S's, just a small N.

unknown 4:25

S.

SPEAKER_00 4:26

Oh S88?

SPEAKER_01 4:30

You said the S and S don't count.

SPEAKER_00 4:32

Yeah, but that just now you got a SNS88. It's like it all right, I'll think about it.

SPEAKER_01 4:39

Or or maybe you do it, see you or you do a design that has I like negative space in in in graphics, negative space. So in between the S's, you put a negative and sign somehow, or you put an AND, the little ampersand, I think that's how what you how you call it. You just put a little ampersand, you know, if you just on the because we say a lot of times SNS88, like we don't always say SS88, but if you put just a little ampersand in the logo, so it just you you weren't seeing it as SS, that would that would change. That would that would be helpful.

SPEAKER_00 5:21

But do you think it's really necessary the S and S part?

SPEAKER_01 5:24

You you brought it up.

SPEAKER_00 5:27

I did. I'm trying to get rid of it. I I think you'd name you named it.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

No, I know it together. We named it together. I didn't name it SS88.

SPEAKER_00 5:39

I you said SS because you came up with the eight minutes and and you the SS and the eight minutes and the 8 a.m.

SPEAKER_01 5:46

You came up with all that. That was a long, long, long, long time ago. And I'm not sure we remember how this started.

SPEAKER_00 5:53

All right. Can we get rid of the SS? Well why are we complicating the S? Why complicate it to make it S? Just well, but maybe What's wrong with 88 Infinity?

SPEAKER_01 6:06

But what about what about uh what if just because a couple people sit have an issue, like it's okay. We can explain it doesn't mean that, can't we? Okay at this point now that we've established it.

SPEAKER_00 6:18

But we're all we we can also we're also um still in the stages where we could just change the name.

SPEAKER_01 6:24

We could we could we could also just change the design of it so it doesn't say yeah S. Why don't you try a couple of those? Because that's easy, because you just change the logo, and then next time somebody logs on or whatever, then the logo will be a little different and have a little ampersand in the middle, and maybe people are like okay, now it doesn't. Now it now you're not now you're not thinking.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

You're not as Nazi, Nazi not as Germany, yeah. Not as Nazi Germany. Yeah. Did you what are you doing?

SPEAKER_01 6:53

What's going on? Do you know the history of the Nazi symbol?

SPEAKER_00 6:56

Uh the Schwa sticker?

SPEAKER_01 6:58

Yeah. Do you know the history of that? I I was in Nepal and you saw that everywhere. I was like, why am I looking at the Nazi symbol everywhere? And they said, no, it's not the Nazi symbol. The Nazis stole it from us. It's an Indian, I guess. Um flipped it, you flip it and they flipped it. So if it's the other way, it means like peace and harmony and um, you know, all good things in the in the universe. And then the Nazis flipped it. So they didn't invent that. It comes from, or at least I saw it in Nepal. Like we we were tearing down a wall and it was on every single brick that came down. I'm like, why are there Nazi symbols on this brick? And they're like, It's not Nazi, it's the opposite. Little history lesson for you. Okay. It's called something. I don't know, but you know, we can't look it up online because we can't do that.
