Ridiculous History is a production of I Heart Radio.

Welcome back to the show Ridiculous Historians. Thank you as always so much for tuning in. Let's

hear it for our super producer Max live Williams. I was going to say Max liar Williams. He's not to be trusted. He gave us this big countdown to our first session in the new studio and turns out he'd been recording the whole time.

The whole damn time God forbid those outtakes that are making it into the world. Oh yeah, it's going to be over for us. It's true though. I'm Ben Gernol. We are here in person at the new studios. This is

the first time you and I have recorded in a actual podcast studio instead of something we bootlegged totally not to mention the first time Ridiculous History has recorded in person in over a year. I'd say we dabbled, you know, post pandemic in our previous offices, but frankly we just kind of gotten so used to the workflow being able to podcast in our underwear. It was a hard sell to leave the house, but now we're here pants and all.

Yeah, how do you know I've pants I'm a different don't need to know you sure we can't see below the belt on Max. He's in a whole glass. You know booth situation is very I don't even know where another camera. He refuses to turn it on, but there's a camera that lets us see what Max is doing.

Handscam. Yeah, it's actually it's only the upper half. So you still wouldn't know. All right. Well, as you are, as you are probably aware by the nature of the title here folks in typical ridiculous history fashion, we are celebrating a holiday after it happens.

Only a couple of days though we're getting closer and think to get all time you want me about it recording it well before the holiday.

The holiday falls this coming Sunday. We're recording this on a Thursday and you'll be hearing it on a Tuesday. Wrap your brain around that.

This is the world in which we live. And this is a holiday that is I think it's the Pepsi to the Coca-Cola that is Mother's Day. Yeah, it was a well meaning idea that wasn't immediately adopted until

people figured out how they could make a buck off. And then followed by backlash against those well meaning I for mentioned well meaning folks.

It's fathers. Yes, bless their hearts. Indeed.

No, as as a father, I think you were telling me off air that you forgot about the holiday until until your family reminded you.

Well, isn't that as it should be? Well, what am I going to be counting down the days to father's day? Where's my whatever you get on father's day? My card.

I'm not petty. I'm petty in other ways.

Tie would be good. I'm not a tie guy though. Maybe a money clip. Yeah, maybe you want it. Maybe you could get into Krovat's.

There you go. Ways and have the same thing as it's just like it's a fancier but somehow lazier version of the time. What's the short time?

Ascot. The Fred wears on Scooby-Doo. Oh, that's an Ascot. Yeah, you could get it. Ascot. That's definitely a choice.

I got to say though, father's day. It's funny because like a lot of people, I don't think we really explore the history.

Most times you just remember, oh, that day's coming up and you remember it like right before.

Usually because Google changes their look.

I was informed that I will be taken to a brunch on Sunday, the father's day.
