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 it for our super producer, Max the Madman Williams.

That was me screaming for ice cream.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

I love ice cream.

It's delicious.

And that's Mr. Noel Brown, none other than...

And you're Ben Bowlin.

And I am Ben Bowlin.

And today, in typical ridiculous history fashion,

given that it is a colder time of the year

in our fair metropolis of Atlanta,

we decided to do an episode about a specific version of ice cream.

And I can't remember if I told you, No.

Max, but when circumstances found me in Vienna,

as the weather was turning several years ago, was quite cold. And surprise, surprise,

people were still lining up for ice cream. Austrians love ice cream in all versions. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I mean, I don't blame them. It's a delightful confection, and I don't find it to be necessarily seasonal. If you're indoors and you have climate control, what's stopping you from eating ice cream? Right. And you have to have some kind of climate control to make ice cream in the first place.

Oh my gosh. We should do an episode on the history of ice.

Mm-hmm. And one of my favorite phrases you ever used that still occurs to me sometimes is once, oh, a few years ago, we were making some videos for stuff they don't want you to know.
