Ridiculous history is a production of I Heart Radio. The Welcome back to the show, Ridiculous Historians. Thank you as always so much for tuning in.'s hear for the man the myth legend our

super producer mr max williams I don't know that I will give it up for the man

the myth or the legend as I've just found out that he gives us the naughty finger every time we start recording.

You know who else has been doing that historically guys?

Paul McCartney.

Anytime, if you've seen over the many, many years he's been a public figure.

There's all his footage of him in interviews being asked an uncomfortable question and

he just kind of does this, what I'm doing, doing is a pie cow, audio pie guy.

He just sort of uses his middle finger to scratch his nose

or to, you know, to somehow innocuously gesture,

but it is a total thing that he's doing.

So Max, I'm mad at you.

You are Noel Brown.

It's made.

And what you're doing, since we are an audio podcast,

is you are lightly caressing your furrowed brow and parts of your cheeks with your middle finger on your right hand.

Yeah, doing the McCartney. That's what I mean, Max doesn't do. Doing the McCartney.

I'm not really mad at you, Max, by the way.

I could never stay mad at you.

I am Ben Bolin, and this is, of course, ridiculous history.

We are immensely excited folks, listeners, friends, countrymen to be joined with a guy we've been talking about quite a deal to for some time now, it's a jacabs a jay bahamas jacabs

an inexplicable nickname that shall never be explicated.
