Best Little Cat House in Wyobraska

My great-grandmother died in the Blackfoot Asylum of religious delusions in 1905.

I love how the Jimmys cover old timey murders! Not gonna lie, I’d LOVE to hear them do a Patreon episode on the Hatfield-McCoy feud.

Brendan Danahy

holy shit, when you said the gazette i was like “ hmm that’s what the paper is called in my hometown”. and then you said schenectady!!! that’s where i was born! not a town i hear mentioned often. there was one episode of archer where his mom is on the phone and says “schenectady?! you’re in schenectady?!?!”

Patch Izabich

Thank god

Gina Marie Bongiovi

Thanks for the addy to the face defect guy. I'm on my way.

I just left a comment about this, but thought you might be interested - a British Victorian-era surgeon washed his hands with carbolic acid before his surgeries (was the first to do so) and they discovered it cut way down on infections. It was one of the first steps in improving sanitation and reduced the mortality rate. If only the Civil War doctors had used this practice more often...

Crowded Crow

The discussion of carbolic acid tickled my memory about a British Victorian-era surgeon who was the first to establish sanitation/hygiene practices in medicine, particularly around performing surgeries (he started washing his hands with carbolic acid before cutting his patients and discovered it FAR reduced infections, etc). I just looked it up, and yes, his name was Joseph Lister; evidently, he established the study of antisepsis.

Heather Berg

I would imagine Catholic acid is way worse than carbolic acid 🤣

Tanya D

I just went down a rabbit hole reading about what carbolic acid (auto-correct just tried to change "carbolic" to "Catholic" Lmfao) would have been used for in the late 1800s and It seems it was used to "Cut the stench of sewage" and to "disinfect bandages and compound fractures". 😬🤣🙃

Tyrone Bowman

You didn't see the people that were getting hit.😂😂😂

Ally

Carbolic acid (phenol is the more modern name) is actually pretty weak as an acid but it does a good job fucking up proteins which is why it was used as a disinfectant. A small amount of it is still used in some sore throat sprays. It's used in conjunction with chloroform still for DNA extraction in biology when nothing else works. Chloroform makes you feel kinda loopy and dizzy in small doses by the way, sorta like whipits but longer and with more nausea. I've accidentally inhaled it a few times at my job lol

Lori Ferguson

I looked them up too. Dangerous stuff to use for abortions. Crazy!!

Lori Ferguson

The way they wrote about crime/death in those days was wild! Great episode!

coach.E_coach01

😂 I love these type of episodes! Good for my ADHD ass lol

Jeremy James

yuh lumber shovin' banana peddlers! hahahahahah such a good episode!

Gary Howard

So when the lady found him with the knife sticking in his head, she tried to arouse him, does that mean she came in screamed and start jerking him off realized he's not going to work because he has no blood flow, and contacted the police

Noal DelaForet

funny shit

ENKC

This episode is a *prime* example of why, whenever someone says the world is going to shit today more than ever or we need less government oversite with things like OSHA, I IMMEDIATELY disregard them as a fuckin moron and their opinion has no value to me any more.

Gage Wagner

I' sure people have died while stoned. I think what you meant to say is no one died from weed directly.

Kelli A Thirsk

I am amazed when I watch YouTube videos of the late 1800s & early 1900s of the traffic in cities. How people back then managed to get around all that chaos to get somewhere is astounding. Some people can't figure shit out on a paved & marked road in our lifetime 😬🤔

Sifyi

No weed...no man has died when stoned...

Jessica Durden

I googled the Tansy pills and came up with a bunch of results related to treatment of scabies and emergency contraceptive. 😂

Ben Armstrong

Bday is 12-15, hang on Boston.

Ben Armstrong

My sister just surprised me with tickets to the Boston show, in December, for my birthday. Hell yeah, shout out to Abbie secretsauce Puiia. We are a couple of turkeys.

Monica Mars

Apparently traveling in packs of three people ensured impending doom.

Tara Sauerwald

Carbolic Acid (aka Phenol) is used in epoxies, explosives, detergents, nylon, herbicide and some medicines.

Rosemarie Cawkwell

Carbolic acid was used until about the 1950s to clean surgical tools, wash hands and bandages. Carbolic soap was available in shops. Tansy was used to cause abortions, 'delayed menstruation' was a euphemism. The quacks haven't changed in 130 years, have they?

Sherri Kappas

I have read it was to light the street lights. In my family tree I had a family member ingest it and die.

Kaliyah Nichols

i have lived in palatine bridge NY my entire 23 years of living … never heard about that one tho🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 never expected to ever hear my town mentioned on a pod ever let alone for that !! 😭 shit stopped me dead in my tracks and i out loud said “wait what the fuck??” in a tjmaxx🤣

Mana

In the 1890s it was to cut the stench of sewage and rubbed on the surgical tools and hands, and the bandages meant to cover the wounds should be soaked in it as well as killed skin parasites.

Thriller Jackson

My hometown gets brought up again! Paducah, Kentucky is interesting I will give it that 😆.

Alicia Grant

lol I am totally going to shit out my next cold.

Deborah Wales

Loved this episode!

Raymond Smith

Agree they are a fun listen.

Lady May

If anyone is looking for old timey murder stories I recommend The Poisioners' Cabinet! They're great!

Kristen Ellis

My jaw was on the floor the entire time you were discussing the ny case. I grew up in Montgomery, went to pine bush hs, our shopping was in Middletown, a lot of my friends lived in bullville & Bloomingburg, my cousins lived in newburgh & Walden people are definitely inbreds💀

Ken Hubble

WAIT! He was in jail for 18 months, his wife was holding a 4 month old, 9+4=13, I'm going to guess what the family disturbance was....

Stephanie Longhurst

I laugh out loud to these two with Small Town Murders. This is my first Old Timey News and I'm hooked. Death by boiler, the Italian was followed by his killer from Italy and triple murder = 'domestic troubles'. 🫠

Cher Love Strong (#LocalWeedia)

Yes. Listening to this, I started thinking that reading this stuff would be so enjoyable. And no podcast but J’s could do it like I want!

Cher Love Strong (#LocalWeedia)

Smashed me to a pulp with an ax! Gushing love for this episode from the tent over here. Thanks!3>

Karin Kross

Describing tansy as "some kinda Deadwood Tricksey abortion concoction" is actually right on the nose.

Donnie King

Cool to hear Palatine Bridge, NY mentioned, only 30 minutes from where I live.

Patrick Burns

New Merch idea, “He Knew What He Did” 3XLg I’ll take three!! He knew what he did Love it

Lisa Hairston

OMG!!! LOL

Lynnette Chambers

Love you guys!!!

Georgianna Porter

Chug acid so I know it's real

RAYRAY

My birthday will never be the same Mar22 poor baby

Abby

I loooooove old-timey episodes!!!

Christopher Deppe

It was cool to hear my hometown newspaper, the Morning Call out of Allentown, PA

SpartyB

Dr. Saunders sounds like he’d open a practice with Dr. Octagon. https://open.spotify.com/album/0GAqyZFjgaz6V5ozTS0dfW?si=72ho-M8zRhq26TndtiMGgQ

Deborah Wales

God, I love you guys!

Ashley W.

Also love the super-coded ads for old-timey abortion pills 😄

Ashley W.

I would 1000% listen to a podcast that's just "Old Timey Newspapers" with James and Jimmy.

Kevin Carter

I don't know if a laxative will cure a cold, but if you take enough you will be terrified to cough hard

Kayla DeMoulin

Carbolic Acid is also used in India to keep snakes out of houses. Then James says it as I am typing haha.

Leslie Cline

Carbolic acid: Surgeons in early days of antiseptic surgery attributed their success to carbolic acid. As introduced, it was employed in a dilute aqueous or oleaginous solution. For a time it was the sole antiseptic. To-day it is mainly used in general surgery as a bath for surgical instruments.

Nash essman

Lol i listened to this while eating a lumberjack slam

Lisa Tucker

The Chinaman stabbing happened in Philly Chinatown. Today our Convention Center is on that spot.

Rachel Benson

This crazy behavior is making a come back with these stanley cups

Jose Sanchez

I will not stand for menudo slander, Jimmie!! It is delicious.

Elizabeth A Calise

Man kills m-I-law and wife who severely injured 4month old falling on it. Man was just released from 18 months in jail. Did you just walk on by that one and save the math for us? Ohhhh sheeeet!

Molotov_Mocktail

Every time podcasters (and it happens to ALL of them eventually) say, for instance, "1990" instead of "1890," I spend the next few minutes pretending [whatever] actually happened thirty-odd years ago and this makes me happy.

Molotov_Mocktail

...So you're telling me that we SHOULDN'T drink or inject disinfectant to treat Covid...?

Rosie Goldstein

sooo good guys as always🍻

Julie Montag

Yep. They were definitely an abortifacient!

Laura

Thank you for sharing the picture!

Molly S

Joseph Lister used Carbolic Acid (aka Phenol) to sterilize surgical instruments (something people didn't do before Pasteur bc they didn't know about germs). It's a disinfectant so it will fuck you up if you drink it, like corrode your esophagus and stomach and make you die shitting your brains out.

Dorothy B

An old-timey murder from my hometown (Schenectady, NY). Cool!

Paige Lovelace

Love this

Amy Easton

Those pills for bringing periods were totally abortion pills. Women got them all the time back in the day. I read a paper on it once. When you don't have a choice, sometimes you get ruthless.

Stormy Rae

Can't wait to see you in MINNEAPOLIS MN SEPT20 (♡Just bought my tickets today, for my boyfriend and I) and seeing new episodes always make my night especially Old times Bonus ones, hehe
