Ridiculous History is a production of IHeart Radio. Welcome back to the show fellow ridiculous historians.

It's a spooky time of year, the most wonderful time of year here on Ridiculous History.

Let's give it up for our super producer, Mr. Max Williams.

They're coming for you, Max.

Max, are you a Halloween?

I actually am not.

You're not?

What the heck?

Get out.

I mean, I mean, have fun recording your own damn podcast.

What kind of costumes have you rocked in the past?

God, I'm that guy who shows up to the, to the Halloween party, intentionally very much in like not a Halloween costume.

Oh, one of those.

Yeah, I'm trying to get better about it with a.

I'm not a costumer myself.

I'm more of a costume watcher. I was a curmudgeon for much of my life. And as I get into my advanced age, I'm trying to become less of a crumudgeon. So I don't know. Maybe I'll be who you are, man. It is, man. Be yourself, dude. Experience Halloween in your own way. and that is Noel Brown.

I am Ben Bowlin.

I am a huge fan of costumery and personas. I don't just restrict it to Halloween. Sometimes you do

have to be a certain, a different person to get some stuff done. That could be anything from the social hack of wearing an orange construction vest to get

backstage at places, unethical, but it does work.

And it could be something as ornate as a Dragon Khan costume.

That's one of the best opportunities for costume watching here in our fair metropolis of Atlanta, Georgia.
