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.

Sorry, we're still kicking the gears on the landing gear on 2026.

Let's hear it for our super producer, Mr. Max Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Williams. Zoom, that's what you do when the plane ain't working right. You just give it a good kick. Yes. And raise the nose up. That's what you should always do. Just raise the nose up. That won't cause any problems. But don't forget, down on the stick means up,

up on the stick means down. Key ingredient. You guys know my flight instructor? Yeah, yeah. I played that game too. That is none other than the legendary, the one and only, the mythical Mr.

Noel Brown. In his own mind, it is I.

And for all of us, they call me Ben Bullen in this neck in the woods.

We love planes, Noel.

This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Love, yeah, okay, you know, love hate, right?

Because maybe with commercial flying, it ain't always the best experience.

Right.

You don't like the process. We love what planes represent what they accomplish for us in terms of moving us to far-flung

lands and also just the tech of it all.

It's fascinating that we are able to zoom around in these like air tubes and somehow

managed to walk out the other side on skates.

Yeah, man, what you think, I think if you're, I think you can agree with this.

My understanding of your perspective on planes is that you like it when we're traveling well,

but you hate the process of getting on.

Oh, it's a bummer.

I mean, there's no two ways about it, you know, going through security, all that.
