The very fact you have to ask a question means you're willing to learn. So if you answer a question, and it's wrong, don't think of it as you being wrong. That's especially true when it comes to the pronunciation of someone's name.

00:00So I was in this clubhouse room and this happens pretty much every single time when I'm in
00:07Conversation not necessarily anything to do with clubhouse and
00:12I have a funny name, right? It's it's a foreign name. It's not an English name. I love my name
00:19I've even shortened it but everyone pronounces it wrong and it just it doesn't bother me
00:27What bothers me is people
00:29apologizing for getting it wrong
00:32Now some people may be offended and I hate that word
00:37About people getting it wrong
00:39but think about this for a moment if you don't know something forget names if you don't know something and
00:45You have to ask a question about that thing. It's not a stupid question, right if you get it wrong
00:50It's not stupid because you don't know you don't know that thing
00:54I don't know how to fly a plane. So I have to ask questions. I don't know what the spigot is called on the plane
01:01I have to ask questions and it's no different to names
01:04So if someone gets your name wrong chill the fuck out
01:08I mean
01:10I've had people get so irate and annoyed with people not getting like if they don't know
01:17How are they supposed to know?
01:20It's not a Friday Fury episode
01:23But I just wanted to make you aware that
01:29No question is a stupid question
01:31There isn't a stupid question. I do have a rule if you ask me three times the same question, then it's a stupid question
01:38But generally if you if you don't know anything and you ask don't think you're stupid
01:44It's just that you don't know and it's fine. I there's many things. I don't know
01:50There's many things I do know vice versa, so
01:55No question is a stupid question. No question is a stupid question
02:00Unless you ask me three times some people have lower threshold
02:05some people have a higher threshold, but no question is a stupid question, so
02:11Getting back to me me me me
02:13If you say my name, don't worry about it
02:16It really I don't think it should bother anybody if you say their name wrong
02:20But again, no question is a stupid question. So ask away and be silly like I always am
02:28Anyway, have a great day. I see you next time. Ciao
