Transcription of this episode… (in case you prefer reading)

Graham: Hey there, this is Graham here.

Ashkahn: Hi there, this is Ashkahn.

Graham: And today’s question is, “brainstorming names for float center, any suggestions? So many good ones seem to have already been taken.”

Ashkahn: Well yeah, boy do we have some suggestions for you.

Graham: Yeah, I wish we could open like, a float center every day, just for the process of naming it.

Ashkahn: Yeah, we sat down in preparation for this question and came up with some things I think we would have named Float On, have we not gone with the name Float On.

Graham: And that probably other float centers are fools for not taking before this.

Ashkahn: Yeah, let’s read through some of these here.

Graham: Well first of all, you’re in good company if you decide to include the word float in your actual title. That’s a common one.

Ashkahn: There’s a lot of those.

Graham: Yeah, salt’s another one people like to put in there. Relax.

Ashkahn: Buoyant.

Graham: REST.

Ashkahn: REST. Lots of REST puns.

Graham: Yeah. Yeah. Float, did I mention float? They love putting that in there.

All right, so number one up here is Buoyant Break that we got for you.

Ashkahn: And then, Horizontal.

Graham: The Womb.

Ashkahn: Salty Serenity.

Graham: Cloud 10, just taking it one step further than all those cloud 9s out there.

Ashkahn: Get in the Box.

Graham: And then, Float America, which is kind of just taking it one step further than like, Float San Diego or Float Portland, or something like that, right?

Ashkahn: Then, Float Universe to really kind of follow that all the way to the end of the chain.

Graham: Yeah, unless you get into the Float Multiverse, in which case, that might even be a more ambitious name.

Ashkahn: We have Relax-o-Mat.

Graham: Whatever Floats Your Boat.

Ashkahn: Floatasm.

Graham: The Floatastic Flotorium.

Ashkahn: Floatilla.

Graham: Something Nothing.

Ashkahn: Get Naked and Float.

Graham: Salty Eyes.

Ashkahn: Crybaby Floats.

Graham: Wet, Warm and Salty.

Ashkahn: Tank Top.

Graham: Top Tank.

Ashkahn: Number One Floats.

Graham: And if your name happens to be Frank, you get the privilege of having Frank’s Floats, Frank’s Tanks. I almost didn’t do the pun. Frank’s Tanks, that’s the-

Ashkahn: Frank’s Floats is not that bad either.

All right, we have Get Up Get Down.

Graham: The SBSA, which stands for Shower Before, Shower After.

Ashkahn: Deprivation Vacation.

Graham: The RESTablishment.

Ashkahn: The One Man Party Box.

Graham: Lay In Space.

Ashkahn: Solo Tubes.

Graham: Pod Bless You.

Ashkahn: Float Your Heart Out.

Graham: REST for Zest.

Ashkahn: You’ve Been ArRESTed which has the tagline, you have the right to remain silent.

Graham: And one of our favorites, Tub Town.

Ashkahn: So, I think those are all pretty viable options that I would suggest you go with.

Graham: Yeah, and just as an honorable mention, three other names that sound as awesome as the ones we came up with, but actually exist out there-

Ashkahn: These are real float centers.

Graham: Rest Assured, which is amazing.

Ashkahn: Get Tank’d.

Graham: And probably my personal favorite, and has been ever since I saw it, which is Go Float Yourself.

Ashkahn: Yeah, down in Las Vegas. Definitely like win a prize for I think best float center name out there.

Graham: Yeah, so there you have it. Hopefully that spurred on some ideas of your own.

Ashkahn: Yeah, I think that answered their question, so feel free to choose any of those. Those are up for grabs, just a small gift from us to you.

Graham: Yep, and if you do, just write that $5,000 check over here, little royalty payment, you know? No big deal.

Ashkahn: Or write under the name of your center, created by Graham and Ashkahn, that’s also acceptable.

Graham: Take that as a lieu of payment, yeah.

All right.

Ashkahn: All right. Perfect. Well, if you guys have other questions, clearly we’ll answer anything at this point, so.
