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 The Man, the Myth, the Legend.

Max, the Teenage Rit. Max, the teenage mutant ninja turtle, Williams.

Cowbonga.

Cowabunga, radical, tubular.

That's Noel Brown.

I've been bowling.

We have a great, very weird episode for you today, folks.

But before we continue, now that I've brought up the legendary turtles, I've got to ask you guys, if we haven't talked about it on air, which turtle would you be?

I think most people were fans of Michelangelo because he was the sort of, you know, party dude.

Party dude.

But he only, he didn't, he didn't like, you know, don't do drugs, kids. He just ate lots of pizza and had pizza parties. And talked like a surfer, though I don't know that there's evidence that Michelangelo ever had access to surfing, although they could have gone to Coney Island and done surf, but they were trying to keep it low-key, so I don't know if

surfing Ninja Turtles would have been good for their image. Though I will also say that there's a

lot of weird stuff that got trickled into the toy lines of the Ninja Turtles. And I want to say

somewhere along the line, there had to have been a surfing, Mike. A million percent. There had to. Okay. So we've got you, Mr. Brown. And named my first cat, Michelangelo, because he was orange. All right. Dublin down. So Noel Brown is the Michelangelo of the crew. What about you, Max Williams? I got to admit, this is a weird one here. I never was really exposed to Teen exposed to teenage media ninja turtles. It wasn't part of my zeitgeist as a child. That in Harry Potter, people talk to me about that kind of stuff. And I'm like, I cannot relate. You're a little younger than us, Max. And for us, for gentlemen or humans of a certain- I was born after Red Bull was invented. Yeah, humans of a certain age. Ninja turtles were kind of inescapable. They were on TV all the time. The first movie came out. It was huge. And of course, the action figures were just, you know, on every kid's wish list. How about you, Ben? You strike me as a, as a wrath guy. Oh, no way. That's the worst one. You know what? You what? I like Rath. I don't like Rath. He was angsty. I don't like him. I, I always aspired to be a Donatello. Unfortunately, I believe in practice, I'm probably a Leonardo. Donatello is the smart one. Leonardo was sort of the leader.

See, I want to be the Donatello.

But one thing these guys have, in common, these turtles, is that they love pizza.

That's their, Max, that's their formative mythology.

Of course, they are.

And that's your segue. That's not the best one, but it's like an ugly pass thrown by
