The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Hey guys, welcome back to We Met at Acme. I'm so excited to be here with Sean Galanos. It was overdue that he came back on the pod. And I think it's been like honestly five years since he's been on the pod, maybe even more. And his first episode is amazing if you missed it,

but this episode is a little bit different because we're fighting. We are fighting and we love a debate

or should I call this an argument. I guess you're going to see and feel free to let us know

whose side you're on. Not that you have to take sides, but as a we metatacmi listener, I'm always eager to hear your thoughts. And if you're not already subscribed to our substacks, We Metatacmi and We Meta Baby and all of our episodes are on YouTube. Feel free to write us a review if you haven't yet. And I'm so excited for you to hear the episode. Hi, guys. Welcome back to We'veakini. I'm so excited to be here with Sean Galanos, who apparently changed the sound of his name. Please just the pronunciation of my last name. So what was it before? Well, I used to say Gallinot. I used to say Galanos. And then my dad used to would say Gallinose. And then when he passed away, I sort of like took on his pronunciation his pronunciation. We just never saw, I, like, you said it's Galanos. It can also be Galanos. See, that's so, like, fluid of you, because if someone pronounces my name wrong, I'm just like, that's wrong. How do you pronounce your last name? Metzler. Yeah, okay. And I get Metzler a lot.

And I'm like, that's...

I think that's what I said to the doorman.

That's okay. And he said, and it's okay. Yeah, he probably was like, I don't know who the fuck that is. He says, WTF, go to 415. Yeah. It's like, never matter. That's really funny. And did you do that to be easy, like to make it easy for other people to say it or for yourself?

I don't know.

I think it just doesn't matter.

Right.

Yeah. really funny. And did you do that to be easy, like to make it easy for other people to say it or for

yourself? I don't know. I think it just doesn't matter. Right. You know, like at the end of the

day, how people pronounce my last name. Right. I think Gallinose is the easiest. Yeah, I would agree.

Okay. And like how, you know, if it, Gallinose, maybe they spell it the way it sounds. Well, because it's like got like the gal, like, who am I thinking of that, that? But also, like a historical. Galileo. Correct. So that's where, so that's where we go, you know? Like, that's where I am. I feel like I'm nailing this so far.

Okay, we're agreeing way too much already. So let's start disagreeing. Well, we have a history. Okay, we have a history. So. Of disagreeing. Of disagreeing. But before that, we have a history because you came on the pod before. Correct. And I think we disagreed a lot. But there's also a lot of, I feel like a lot of mutual respect. There was a lot of mutual respect and there continues to be.

Yeah, absolutely.

I loved our first episode. but I feel like a lot of mutual respect. There was a lot of mutual respect and there continues to be.

Yeah, absolutely.

I loved our first episode and I still reference so much from it.

I actually think that it was you, but tell me if I'm wrong, who introduced me to the concept

of setting your partner up to win.
