We wanted to start a YouTube channel but we didn’t know what to call it. It took forever to decide to actually start it just because we were like, well what’s the name going to be? If we don’t have a name how can we have a channel. And we discussed it and tried different naming techniques, and ancient kung fu open and closed hand styles to come to consensus on how to proceed. The following are several hundred thousand (give or take a couple hundred thousand) names that we didn’t use, after several namestorming sessions.

One technique was to take two disparate words or two words that didn’t go together logically or maybe did in some subconscious way and mash them together for like a potato cement type of amalgamation, you know, like a wheel dinosaur type of construction of a title, you get the idea. Another technique was just to blurt out any ridiculous sound like a driveling dolt. We thought about practical names that would describe a function such as Aaron and Heidi’s not about meditation or self help YouTube channel, or We Just Made This Channel to Become Rich and Famous, but they were too utilitarian and boxed in for our thinking. What if one day we wanted to do a video about how to refill semi-truck tires for free, and the next day a music video in the style of Norgewian Mozart Metal? Damn the algorithm we needed to be free. So one day, I just blurted out I dunno why don’t we just call it Bananabelly and we both started laughing, and said, no that’s way too stupid, you idiot.

So in unison it sounded like this.

Aaron: why don’t we just call it Bananabelly?
Aaron & Heidi: hahahahaha
Aaron & Heidi: No that’s way too stupid you idiot! (use stereo pan effect)
