This is the conclusion of Noah Week. And although my name is not Noah, I often get called Noah.

There's something about the name Jonah. It happens less and less, I think, because Jonah is becoming

a more popular name out there. But there's something about my name that is never really computed with a lot of people.

go to Noah. And I would get called Noah Gover. But anyway, it's the end of no week because the two guests

on the podcast this week were Noah Phillips and Noah Rothman. I thought they were both good conversations. I

also recorded an episode with David Bernstein, which will probably air next week. It was a

ordeal recording it because his Wi-Fi was very, very poor where he was. He was visiting family members.

And so the hope is it all recorded fine. We used this new platform called Riverside that records all
