Pete wants to keep Mikes Monolith M565C headphones and talks about buying a pair of Philips Fidelio X2HR headphones as well. They discuss exchanging some of their gear to record a new episode of Audioish.

Here's a snippet:

Oh, okay. Well, we'll have to go back. A couple episodes. Probably. It might have been Episode two where it had mentioned to you that somebody had given me a bottle of bourbon, and at the time, I couldn't really remember because, you know, I wasn't at home and it wasn't staring at the bottle, but I have the bottle in my hand, so let me know you would have. And if you remember, I think you used the word gimmicky. But yes, if you didn't, I did. So here we go. Here we go. Um, the bourbon is made by Jefferson's. It's ocean aged at sea and it says, blend of straight bourbon whiskeys. Very small batch. And then there's a little label on the side, and it says, Ocean aged at sea. Ocean voyage 17. Hand selected by Bourbon Street Barrel number five. Batch number 1 40 Bottle number 30. So it makes it sound very special. Yeah, well, when at the top on around the neck even says voyage 17. That's special.

In this first episode of the Autoish Podcast, Mike and Pete discuss some of their favorite podcasts, iPods, Audiophile stuff and much more (ish.) Mike gets a like geeky talking about audiophile DIY interconnect wires and touches on his recent subscription to Tidal. They both discuss what podcasts got then into podcasts and what episodes they recently listened to that moved them. Mike mentions that a recent episode on the Tim Ferriss show with Gary Keller, episode 401 moved him because of a simple question that Tim asked Gary towards the end of the interview. Tim had asked Gary Keller what he would put on a billboard for millions to see and his answer was "Think big and Aim high."

We arrived at the name of our podcast by combining the industry that we are both involved in, automotive and the idea that our podcast will cover a wide range of stuff. That's the "ish" part of our name. In future episodes we'll discuss; marketing, Pinterest, Audiophile gear, other podcasts, bourbon, watches, cars and more. #autoish #autoishpodcast #podcast #automotive #marketing
