Hi, it's Mike. It's Saturday. It's the day we do one from the best of the week or one from the best of the vault.

But this week we do, well, sort of one from the best of the week. I don't have to say it like that.

But it wasn't my week. It was a little bit. It was the week of A.J. Jacobs on The Puzzler. He has a great show called The Puzzler.

He's been on our show to talk about when he lived life as a revolutionary war guy.

Before that, he gained acclaim, fame, some shame for his year of living biblically.

But he's always been one of these guys who loves puzzles.

And he's just a lovely guy invited me on his show and that will bring you

two thirds of those episodes right now your boy Mike Pesca I've never said that I've got to

apologize right now but yours truly again too formal somewhere in between your fella Mike Pesca

and AJ Jacobs on the puzzler.

Hello, Puzzlers. I say we start with a quick puzzle. Today, our challenge is, can you come up with any notable people who have fishy names?

By which I mean people whose first or last names are a species of fish,

such as InSink Singer Lance Bass, Bass is a fish, and we will accept misspellings.

We're very liberal. If it sounds like a fish, like Marlon Wayans, then we'll accept it. Marlin, the person is spelled with an O,

but the fish is spelled with an I. But still okay in our book, the answers, and more,

at least some of them, and more puzzling puzzles after the break.

Hello, puzzlers. Welcome back to the puzzler podcast, the moisture wicking socks in your

puzzle triathlon outfit. I'm your host, AJ Jacobs, and I'm here, of course, with Chief Puzzle Officer Greg

Pliska.

Greg, before the break, we asked puzzlers at home a challenge.

Can you name any notable people with fishy names, such as in-sync singer Lance Bass?

Did you have any thoughts on fishing?
