He was calling out the captain, not the FO. Read it again, you mongoloid.

You’re right, I hadn’t noticed the fo reaching before the gear up call. But the captain basically pointing to the handle, and doing the thumbs up motion as if to indicate which way the handle should go, is toolish in my opinion.

Gotta agree with the TOTD for the overacting, sunglasses and especially the mullet, but in his defense the thumbs up with the "Gear Up" call was a required signal in MAC ( Mobility Airlift Command for you young'ns), as was a thumbs down with the "Gear Down" call.
Primacy of training kept in his habit patterns?

I was recently in the Jumpseat with a guy who did the same thing. Also touched the flap handle as he called for flaps, and would point to the altitude knob when hand flying and requesting a change, etc... Annoying even as a jumpseater.

It’s also VERY possible that at some point he screwed the pooch and quirks like this keep him honest now.
