The name Alex, known for being me.

Famous for being my name.

Nobody thinks much about it, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why the name Alex is secretly incredibly fascinating. Today.

Welcome to a whole new podcast, welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting that people think it is. My name is Alex Schmidt and I'm not alone. I'm joined

by my co-host Katie Golden. Katie, what is your relationship to or opinion of the topic this

week, which is the name Alex? I could take it or leave it.

No, I'm joking.

I knew non-Alexes felt that way.

I knew it.

I knew the non-Alexes are against us.

I mean, I got to say it's not as good of a name as Katie,

I think you're the only Alex that I know personally.

I mean, I have friends of friends named Alex.

I'm actually attending the wedding of an Alex, but through, you know, through my husband, I know him.

Yeah.

There's a lot of us.

I'm surprised.

I had always thought of that cool, really smart parrot.
