Welcome to the show Radiculous Historians. Thank you so much for tuning in. My name is Ben.

My name is Noel Ben. You ever had those rolled up ice cream things? I think they're kind of a rip off.

I'm super producer, Casey Pagrum. 110% at times. At times. I didn't think it was possible. I mean,

that's some real lebush right there. We're also joined, no, we didn't talk about this off-air,

but we're also joined by our pal Matt Frederick over here shaking his head saying, no, please don't

put me in. Matt is literally, since we're an audio podcast, literally not. He doesn't want to be
