Hello puzzlers. Let's start with a quick puzzle. This mini puzzle is about the names of months and how some people are named after the names of months, like April as An April Kelly, creator of boy Mats World. There are people in the world named after every single month of the year, but there are only three months that crack the top one thousand most popular American names. One of them is April. What are the other two months? The answer and more puzzling goodness after the break, Hello puzzlers, Welcome back to the Puzzler Podcast the smiley feedback button on your way out of the Airport Puzzle Bathroom. I am your host, AJ Jacobs, and I'm here with Chief Puzzle Officer Greg Kliska and Craig. Before the break, we ask what are the three months that make the one thousand most popular American names? One of them we gave was April. Do you guess they for this?

One of them we gave was April. Do you guess they for this?

I have a guess for the other two, and I'm gonna say they are. They follow right along. I even think I have a memory that in Stephen Sometimes Musical Company, there is a character named April. But there's a point at which the main character, Robert talks about two other women. I think it's in one of the songs. I might have made this up, but I'm guessing it's April, May and June.

All right, I finally got greg. I actually thought that would be the case as well. Turns out May does not crack the top one thousand. What yeah, it is. June comes in pretty high, one hundred and seventy first for girls. August August for boys is at one oh four. It was. It's making a big comeback. By the way, August is very hot. So there you go, there May. There are a lot of mayas. I bet Maya makes it Maya Rudolph.

Here's something I realized when getting a raw answer in the New York Times Mini crossword, and he goes on to say that if you change the middle letter of certain five letter words, you get a new word with a new pronunciation, such as vague, where you change the middle letter of vague the G. If you change that to an L, you get value and it's a totally different word with a different pronunciation.

We'll doing a little mini puzzle inspired by Eric, who we hope is still listening. He hasn't given right before this episode. All right, so I'm going to give a clue to both words, and you tell me the two words. So if it were the example vague and value, I would say a non specific monetary worth is a vague value. All Right, Andre and Craig you can both play, are you ready? Yes, a less punctual beer.

I've got, you know, an interesting, litterally interesting story. So we had Karen Puzzles on, but before we actually you know, got her on to record the episode, we also were talking about her real name, which is Karen Cavitt ka V E T T. And that got us thinking about a puzzle where you take a word with one T and you insert an extra tea to get a new word. So I've set it up. I'm going to give you a sentence with blanks that can be filled in with the two words great. So, for example, if you have the word slated and slatted, the example would be I have it on my calendar to install Venetian blinds this weekend. I've blank the new blank window coverings for Saturday.

Wow. Very excited, very excited to be here.

Yes, yes we are.

Thank you.

Thank you for that intro of course. Well you're excited. You're a good get. You're a good get.

Thank you for that intro of course. Well you're excited. You're a good get. You're a good get.

Uh yeah. Well, basically, it felt as if, in our current climate that there was a bit of a backlog in non fiction products and projects, and that everyone was going to your tech overlords and streaming services and pitching projects and everyone was ordering less, and so it seemed like there was a great amount of great projects that were just out there with producers that I knew and production companies that I knew, And instead of just relegating ourselves to the reality set before us, we went on to become change agents ourselves. And so I looked for a volunteer army and a lot of people raise their hands to kind of help join me, And so there was a group of twenty of us leading a volunteer community initiative where we spun up a website, We spun up a submission process nonfictionhot list dot com. We put out the call for projects, and directors and producers and production companies flooded our inbox with amazing projects across nonfiction. So that was documentaries and documentary shorts and series and podcasts, really anything in the nonfiction space. So we ended up having six hundred and thirty nine submissions that came in, and we went through a rigorous process to grade the projects and debate the projects and ended up with a list of twenty three truly exceptional non fiction projects touching on every type of subject that you could imagine. The other cool thing that we did is we didn't want ourselves to be gatekeepers upon making this type of initiative, So all the people who came together to organize this, we were doing it in the spirit of service and that we thought we could offer almost a free curation to the marketplace. We were just saying that these are great projects and they deserve attention, and they deserve to get made, and so we put this list together with the contact information of the projects themselves and started publishing this list out to both the entertainment community to other adjacent industries in the hope that whether it's somebody who wants to fund the whole project that they see, or if they saw that a project needed some post production help and they were a post production place, that they could jump in and help along the way. So really a kind of community led process with the hope being that the community itself might all chip in to help more great projects get made. So it's been a really joyous process to see the amazing creativity of people across the industry. It was almost almost impossible to choose the twenty three out of six hundred and thirty nine, but we feel very strongly about it and encourage anyone who is just a fan of nonfiction, so again that could be documentaries or series or shorts or podcasts like the one you're listening to right now, to go to Nonfiction hot List. You can view the list yourself, and so if you want a little bit of a look underneath the hood of projects as they're being made, getting into market and not necessarily just arriving on your doorstep ready to go. We'll give you a peek at some of the amazing creators that are making amazing stuff right now. And it's always good to support your local filmmakers and support your local artists and recognize that the entertainment that has delivered to you really comes from extraordinary stores.

So if we go to the nonfiction hot List, we'll see what kind of where the status of each of these projects is and what kind of help they need. Are they I mean, are they only looking for sort of huge donations? Do they have go fundmes? If people wanted to support they said, oh, this looks really cool, how can I help? How do they do that? Great question? So every project is different. So some projects have a GoFundMe, some have a five oh one C three where you can make a donation that's tax deductible, and some are just looking for you.

To follow their Instagram feed. So there is lots of ways to support. And there are twenty three projects. So I don't know how many flavors ice cream does Basket Robins have, but for anyone, well, well you know we don't have that many. But the Nonfiction hot List has as many good flavors of stuff, and I would challenge anybody to go through to find a story or two that they are really passionate about. And even if you have maybe off the bat, not sure of how you can contribute. Even then, the filmmakers would love and email email addresses are all attached to the projects, just to tell them that you're supporting and that you love their project. That would also be appreciated.
