We also didn't mention this yet, but we did a new member special.
Oh, that should have been the notes.
Oh, yeah. My bad. That's on me, too.
Because it was released like an hour before we started recording. See, Casey, I need to be on top of this.
Well, I know. Usually I add that one. No, that's not true. No, usually you do, too. All right.
Here we are, you know, an hour and a half into the show. Go ahead, DeMarco.
So it's about how we make the show, all the organizational techniques we use to prepare very well in advance for making our show.
Right. Except for when the new special episode drops an hour before we're recording. And I was in the shower.
All right, let's do some follow-up. We had a lot of feedback about laundry, mostly, oh my God, I can't believe that I listened to laundry stuff and had opinions. But nevertheless, I think our favorite piece of laundry follow-up and feedback was from Thomas Alvarez, who writes, I told my wife, these guys are talking about washing shirts with the printing right side out, to which she said, they want to sell you more ATP shirts by telling you to ruin the printing faster. I love this. I wish I could tell you it was some big conspiracy that we had plotted, but no, that had nothing to do with it. But this is hilarious to me. So this is very well done.
Yeah, this is the theory that with the printing facing out, it will rub against other clothes more than it would with the printing facing in. I'm not even sure that theory holds out because, you know, although the clothes are all smushing around there, if you have it inside out, the printing is still touching another piece of fabric. It just happens to be the other side of its own shirt. It doesn't know that it's its own shirt versus another shirt, but who knows? People have ideas about laundry, but... Yeah, it was not a conspiracy to get you to buy more shirts. The printing's going to come off those shirts eventually, no matter what, if you keep washing them.
Of course, John had feedback about a joke, but here we are. Christian Kent, speaking of jokes, has a correction, and according to someone who put this in the show notes, who I'm sure his name is John Syracuse, Christian Kent apparently had the best joke about John's app.
So the correction is this. When I was talking about names for the app, which we'll get to in a second, I was mentioning... I think I said Space Doubler or something like that, because there was a series of utilities for the classic Mac OS called Ram Doubler or Disk Doubler. Well, Disk Doubler is what Space Doubler was called. That's the correction. Sorry, but it was Ram Doubler and Speed Doubler. Believe it or not, they sold a software product called Speed Doubler. It did make your computer faster, perceptively faster in a few interesting ways. But anyway, the space saving one was not Space Doubler. It was Disk Doubler. And Christian made an image of like the old, I presume this is the old Disk Doubler floppy disk that it came on with like the little styled label or whatever.
Yeah.
A little bit pessimistic, but you know, I laughed. I thought it was funny. Risk doubler, disc doubler there. It's right there in front of you. Good job, Christian. I like that one. And speaking of names.
Oh, we have so many. So many names were suggested for John's app. I made myself kind of a top list. Have you made one or do you want to? Do you want to hear mine?
Are yours ones that have been suggested by other people or are they new?
By other people.
Oh, okay. I have a list here in front of me. Now, I want to say that this list is not exhaustive. There were just so many suggestions I could not click them all. So I'm sorry if you don't hear your suggestion on this list. This list is not ordered in any way. Oh, come on. You got to order it, man. You got to pick your favorites. I'll get to that in a little bit. I mean, there are favorites mixed in, but it's mostly kind of like the order that I got to putting them into this document together.
There's no theatrics in that. You got to have like a countdown from worst to best.
