Ridiculous History is a production of IHeart Radio. Welcome back to the show fellow ridiculous historians.

Thank you, as always so much for tuning in.

Let's hear for The Man, The Myth, The Legend, our super producer, Mr. Max Williams.

Max Williams. And who is that cheering on our super producer? Why it's none other than Mr. Noel Brown. Me. How are we feeling? I'm all right. How are you? I'm okay, man. I'm okay. I've had this run of dreary weather here in Atlanta and finally broke. and that bums me out. So I'm feeling pretty

great today. Really? I, you know, oh, I'm Ben Bowling by the way. I feel weird, Noel, because

I had just perfected the newest update on my rainy day playlist. You know what I mean? And I didn't

do it in time for the weather. What are we talking here? We talking talking like chill hip hop beats to study too or like Godspeed, you black emperor. I love a God's speed. Got it back into some Shirley Manson stuff. We'd love to hear yours. From Garbage? Uh-huh. Yes, from Garbage. She's a pistol. She's a real firecrack.

I like Shirley.

Speaking of the opposite of Garvage, we are thrilled, you, Max, and myself by a new podcast

that is right up our alley, hoax created by none other than the legendary Lizzie Logan

and Dana Schwartz.

And, Noel, we have a special surprise for our ridiculous historians.

Is it true? Are they here? They're here, I think.

They're here. This part's not a hoax.

Or are we? Welcome to the show.

So happy to have y'all.

This is an I IHeart podcast.

Let's get right into it.

First, tell us a little bit about your background.

I think you're going to be both familiar to a lot of our listeners

already. Could you tell us how you guys teamed up and what inspired you to create a show

all about hoaxes? Lizzie? I was pointing at you, Dana, as this podcast was your idea.
