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.

That's our man of the hour, super producer, Mr. Max Williams.

Give it up for him.

Man of the two hours late, which is my fault.

That's not a nickname that should go to you, Max.

That should go to me.

I am never late to anything.

Have you guys ever seen me be late to anything?

Not really.

Only once you were super weird about it.

Well, at the very least, super apologetic, but I can't even recall the time you're talking about Ben. This is a me issue. I'm traveling. I was at a place that was slightly unfamiliar or new to me, and the internet scrapped the bed. And then I had a hotel situation, but it wasn't ready. So I do come to y'all hat in hand from a co-working space.

So if y'all hear some New Yorkie types having meetings in the background, that's what's going on.

But otherwise, it's pretty empty right now.

But I'm Noel, and you're Ben and your champion and a scholar and a sport for putting up with my shenanigans.

Ah, absolutely.

No sweat, zero perspiration.

Folks, that is indeed the legendary Mr. Noel Brown.

They do call me Ben Boland.

And folks, we get on the road often and we have shenanigans and we're pretty up front about it when, you know, no, there have been times I was stranded in Japan or Korea and we kept the Japan as we like to coin.

I love it. Japan did. So we are scattered across the world often and one thing that always takes us back home,

all three of us, is a little town called Atlanta.
