Michael Heat: Hey, Zoë, what did your mom call you?
Zoë Schiffer: I feel like I'm going to erase a lot of credibility if I tell you, so I'll just say that many people call me Zoe for short.
Michael Heat: Okay.
Zoë Schiffer: Which one does my name look like.
Michael Heat: If you don't have an e, it looks like zoe?
Zoë Schiffer: Yes, because it doesn't have Y so people are always confused. I was like, “Oh, no, my parents Zoe called me. Don't worry about it.”
Lauren Goode: Oh. Right, right. Like Zooey Deschanel, he has Y, right? Yeah, okay.
Michael Heat: But he's zooey.
Lauren Goode: I never thought of that before.
Michael Heat: Isn't he? Isn't he zooey?
Lauren Goode: No, he's Zooey.
Zoë Schiffer: Like Franny and Zooey spelled Zooey but it's Zooey, Franny and Zooey. Still, Mike, what are your parents, what did they call you when you were little?
Lauren Goode: She was really hard. He didn't want to tell us the real nickname.
Zoë Schiffer: I can't. I just feel like I already have super imposter syndrome.
Michael Heat: For a very long time, my mother referred to me by my full name, Michael, and so did my father.
Lauren Goode: What is your middle name?
Michael Heat: Seth.
Lauren Goode: Did they call you Michael Seth?
Michael Heat: On very, very rare occasions.
Zoë Schiffer: Seth really can be your first name. I felt like it was almost fit.
Lauren Goode: Oh, yes. You are a Seth.
Michael Heat: Do I present as Seth?
Zoë Schiffer: Pretty. Seth Rising, if you do.
Michael Heat: Okay.
