2025-07-16 03:31:37 +0000 UTCI 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.

2025-05-25 05:43:33 +0000 UTCholy 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?!?!”

2024-04-07 14:44:24 +0000 UTCI 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...

2024-04-06 03:06:51 +0000 UTCThe 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.

2024-04-06 03:00:30 +0000 UTCI would imagine Catholic acid is way worse than carbolic acid 🤣
Heather Berg
2024-03-31 16:31:27 +0000 UTCI 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". 😬🤣🙃

2024-03-19 06:25:42 +0000 UTCCarbolic 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

2024-03-18 23:54:58 +0000 UTCI looked them up too. Dangerous stuff to use for abortions. Crazy!!
Lori Ferguson
2024-03-14 15:06:19 +0000 UTCThe way they wrote about crime/death in those days was wild! Great episode!

Jeremy James
2024-03-02 05:26:37 +0000 UTCSo 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

2024-02-25 18:43:51 +0000 UTCThis 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.

2024-02-24 15:52:21 +0000 UTCI' sure people have died while stoned. I think what you meant to say is no one died from weed directly.
Gage Wagner
2024-02-20 20:15:35 +0000 UTCI 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 😬🤔

2024-02-10 21:34:30 +0000 UTCCarbolic Acid (aka Phenol) is used in epoxies, explosives, detergents, nylon, herbicide and some medicines.
Tara Sauerwald
2024-02-10 20:17:36 +0000 UTCCarbolic 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?
Rosemarie Cawkwell
2024-02-10 15:21:10 +0000 UTCI have read it was to light the street lights. In my family tree I had a family member ingest it and die.

2024-02-10 10:54:21 +0000 UTCi 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🤣
Kaliyah Nichols
2024-02-10 00:12:41 +0000 UTCIn 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.

2024-02-08 01:11:35 +0000 UTCIf anyone is looking for old timey murder stories I recommend The Poisioners' Cabinet! They're great!
Lady May
2024-02-07 23:59:27 +0000 UTCMy 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💀
Kristen Ellis
2024-02-07 21:46:33 +0000 UTCWAIT! 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....
Ken Hubble
2024-02-07 15:52:58 +0000 UTCI 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'. 🫠
Stephanie Longhurst
2024-02-07 07:28:21 +0000 UTCYes. 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!

2024-02-06 23:13:17 +0000 UTCDescribing tansy as "some kinda Deadwood Tricksey abortion concoction" is actually right on the nose.

2024-02-06 15:53:43 +0000 UTCCool to hear Palatine Bridge, NY mentioned, only 30 minutes from where I live.

2024-02-05 00:38:29 +0000 UTCI would 1000% listen to a podcast that's just "Old Timey Newspapers" with James and Jimmy.

2024-02-05 00:36:12 +0000 UTCI don't know if a laxative will cure a cold, but if you take enough you will be terrified to cough hard
Kevin Carter
2024-02-04 22:14:59 +0000 UTCCarbolic Acid is also used in India to keep snakes out of houses. Then James says it as I am typing haha.
Kayla DeMoulin
2024-02-04 20:55:38 +0000 UTCCarbolic 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.

Jose Sanchez
2024-02-04 14:10:42 +0000 UTCMan 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!
Elizabeth A Calise
2024-02-04 13:03:21 +0000 UTCEvery 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.

2024-02-04 05:55:19 +0000 UTC...So you're telling me that we SHOULDN'T drink or inject disinfectant to treat Covid...?

Julie Montag
2024-02-04 04:02:10 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing the picture!
Laura
2024-02-04 03:54:44 +0000 UTCJoseph 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.
Molly S
2024-02-04 02:59:49 +0000 UTCAn old-timey murder from my hometown (Schenectady, NY). Cool!

Paige Lovelace
2024-02-04 02:38:23 +0000 UTCThose 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.
