1:39

1:42
SPEAKER_01: Was that awkward?
1:43
SPEAKER_01: You you didn't have a job, but you were working at the camp.
1:46
SPEAKER_02: No, I had a job.
1:46
SPEAKER_02: I just don't remember what the job was.
1:48
SPEAKER_02: But one of my one of my jobs I remember was inspecting the girls' cabins, and I had to pick which was the cleanest.
1:55
SPEAKER_02: But but when I got, but when we were on the way, my buddy Alan and I were on the way to the camp.
2:00
SPEAKER_02: We said, hey, we're going to the camp.
2:01
SPEAKER_02: We don't know anybody, we're gonna be there for a month.
2:03
SPEAKER_02: Let's make up names, let's make up identities.
2:05
SPEAKER_02: So I said, I'll be Satchel.
2:07
SPEAKER_02: And he's like, gonna be Jethro.
2:09
SPEAKER_02: I said, All right, you gotta stick to it, Alan.
2:11
SPEAKER_02: When you get there, or whatever they say, you say that's your name.
2:13
SPEAKER_02: He's like, got it.
2:14
SPEAKER_02: We get there, they say, Hey, man, what's your name?
2:16
SPEAKER_02: He says, Alan.
2:17
SPEAKER_02: So I give him this look, you know, like, come on, you didn't even last with the first person.
2:22
SPEAKER_02: And then I said, My name's Satchel.
2:23
SPEAKER_02: He said, Is that your real name?
2:24
SPEAKER_02: I said, Yeah, that's my real name.
2:26
SPEAKER_02: So it worked the whole time.
2:28
SPEAKER_02: And then when I'm cleaning, I had to inspect the cabins.
2:30
SPEAKER_02: Well, the girls all wanted to win the cabin.
2:32
SPEAKER_02: So if the whole cabin of girls, they're all high school girls are gone by, I was probably 20, and they'd see me and they'd say, Hey, Satchel, because they wanted me to, you know, wanted me to vote their cabin the best.
2:46
SPEAKER_02: And after the camp, I went to work in Atlanta, and the guy got me a job at a pizza place there, and he only knew me as satchel, so he introduced me as satchel.
2:54
SPEAKER_02: So now I'm satcheled when I'm living in Atlanta.
2:56
SPEAKER_02: So I come back to Gainesville after Atlanta, and I'm going to get a job at Leonardo's.
3:01
SPEAKER_02: And I walk in, they said, What's your name?
3:03
SPEAKER_02: I said, Steve.
3:04
SPEAKER_02: They're like, Oh, there's a couple Steves already.
3:06
SPEAKER_02: Well, there's you, I think you were one of the Steves, and the other Steve was the owner.
3:12
SPEAKER_02: Steve.
3:12
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
3:13
SPEAKER_02: Steve Solomon, the owner.
3:15
SPEAKER_02: And so since there were two Steves already, I said, just call me Satchel.
3:19
SPEAKER_02: Because I was going in to be Steve again, but because of you, I had to be Satchel.
3:26
SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, it's funny because because of you, my closest friends call me Steve, and my family calls me Steven.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: So this whole Steve thing is is gotten really out of hand.
3:41
SPEAKER_01: And I think we've had false identities for the last 35 years.
3:45
SPEAKER_02: Well, Steve Beatty over there thinks that there's a right and wrong way to spell Steve.
3:50
SPEAKER_00: Well, first of all, first of all, what's the your name is still Steve, whether it's pronounced or whether it's your full name is Steven or Steve.
3:58
SPEAKER_00: That doesn't your name isn't changed.
4:00
SPEAKER_00: It's just Robert.
4:02
SPEAKER_01: So I can just flat out changed his name.
4:04
SPEAKER_00: Robert or Rob.
4:05
SPEAKER_00: The real question is what's the proper way to spell Steve as Stephen?
4:09
SPEAKER_00: And it's with a V- Well there's only one way to spell Steve.
4:12
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
4:12
SPEAKER_00: You're a V Steven.
4:13
SPEAKER_02: No, no, no, no, no, no.
4:14
SPEAKER_00: You're a V Steve.
4:16
SPEAKER_02: I just looked this up on the internet.
4:19
SPEAKER_02: On the Google.
4:21
SPEAKER_02: I said, what's the proper way to spell Stephen with a PH or V?
4:25
SPEAKER_02: It says both Stephen, PH, and Stephen, V, are correct and widely accepted spellings of the same name.
4:32
SPEAKER_02: Stephen with a PH is the traditional spelling closer to the ancient Greek root Stephanos.
4:40
SPEAKER_01: Well, Stephen with a V is a more modern phonetic interpretation.
4:46
SPEAKER_01: California Steve, how do you spell your name?
4:49
SPEAKER_00: With a V, of course.
4:51
SPEAKER_00: Of course.
4:51
SPEAKER_01: There's only one way to spell Steve.
4:53
SPEAKER_01: That's why he changed his name to the case.
4:54
SPEAKER_01: It's not the only way.
4:56
SPEAKER_01: Stephen with a V is proper.
4:59
SPEAKER_02: Well, who wants to write it with a letter for no reason?
5:03
SPEAKER_02: That's not right.
5:03
SPEAKER_02: Stephen with a PH is the or is from the original Greek Stephanos.
5:08
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
5:09
SPEAKER_02: Stephen with a V is a more modern version.
5:12
SPEAKER_00: I'll accept that you're old and that we're modern and cool.
5:16
SPEAKER_00: It's not it wasn't about like necessarily right or wrong.
5:20
SPEAKER_00: It's like kind of like the the the um cool way to, you know, like the cool way to spell it is with a V.
5:30
SPEAKER_00: Like the like PH, it that's too old.

SPEAKER_02: It's sophisticated.
5:35
SPEAKER_02: It's sophisticated.
5:36
SPEAKER_02: It's too old pH.
5:40
SPEAKER_01: Why would you want to add another letter?
5:42
SPEAKER_01: That's just extra words.
5:45
SPEAKER_02: The only thing I'll concede is that it's a little bit weird that Steve with a V is short for Steven with a PH.
5:52
SPEAKER_02: That is a little weird.
5:53
SPEAKER_00: No, that that's totally.
5:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're trying to like play both sides of the of the court here.

SPEAKER_00: Here's what I will say.
6:10
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's it is a good name.
6:12
SPEAKER_00: Here's what I will say about your your name is if you said your name is Stefan and you owned it, I'd have less judgment.
6:23
SPEAKER_00: But you're you're a Stefan, but you're trying to be a Stephen with a Steve with a V.
6:30
SPEAKER_01: That's just not how it's pronounced.
6:32
SPEAKER_01: That's a lazy way to say Stefan.
6:34
SPEAKER_01: It's Steve.
6:37
SPEAKER_00: Right.
6:37
SPEAKER_01: But you're not lazy by any means.
6:40
SPEAKER_02: But what I was trying to get at is that the name that we've all been called our whole lives, Steve or Stephen, makes us really cool.
6:47
