Starting point is 00:00:46 an old newspaper from a random date in history picked up by Dave Anthony. I'm Garrett Reynolds and I've never seen it before and neither is our guest this week. Hassan Ahmad. Hello Hassan. Hey thank you for having me I'm excited about this. Thank you for being here. Before we get into it let's promote your social media which is your name Hassan which is E-H-S-A-N J Ahmad A-H-M-A-D and your podcast is the dangerous brown podcast. Yep look for it it's out on all platforms it's just me riffing into a camera. Well David it makes David I'm very nervous obviously as to whites. What are you guys talking about over there. Isn't it isn't today your
Starting point is 00:01:32 second Christmas for white people isn't that what today is. We should point out we're recording on January 6th so yeah I mean you might notice a little bit of a jovial energy from us today obviously we're pumped up we're excited. I after after seeing that Nancy Pelosi introduced Lin-Manuel Miranda to perform there I would love to just see one more quick instance like just like a window get broken you know what I mean just the fear that would go through the room if a window got broken there today would be something fierce. Yeah like Congress Congress never deserved to be taken over and invaded more than when she
Starting point is 00:02:11 introduced Lin-Manuel. They just got the year wrong. Yeah if I saw that as a as a writer I would feel very vindicated I'm just like yeah we did the right thing. Yeah absolutely. See this is what we tried to stop this. This is what we were getting ahead of you idiots. No but that'll help America heal obviously nothing. Well Nancy said it's important to have arts as a part of the healing. You know it's almost like as a comic when you don't have a good segue to your next joke like she's jamming in the rationale for having Hamilton perform. She's like it shows us that the arts have thrived since the insurrection. Did he write a rap about the insurrection? I would be okay with that. I would be fine with it.
Starting point is 00:02:56 All right so Dave I've started to guess what year I think the paper is gonna be from us on so I'm gonna go ahead and take a stab this time. I'm gonna go I'm gonna go 1907. I'm gonna go 1870s I'm gonna go a little further back. Great guess. Gareth you were so close. 1909. Holy fuck. Yeah this is like I think I finally found a thing I can do. Yeah that was impressive. And by the way if those are showcase showdown rules I get both showcases. I'm under and close yeah you do. Oh wow. So this is January 2nd 1909 Akron Ohio the Akron Beacon Journal. Okay. And I gotta say page one is weird. Wow. For you to even highlight it as
Starting point is 00:03:55 weird as weird because the pages are always weird. Yeah and I've know how much weird stuff you read so for you to say it's weird. Yeah it's like a sex criminal being like that was assault. There is a giant headline right in the middle of the page. Where that belongs. Ruth Bryan finally sues. Oh man she did it we were wondering if she was gonna do it. Wow happened. Ruth Bryan Levitt daughter of W. J. Bryan today filed suit for divorce from William Levitt the petition was immediately taken from the files petition to please tell me you had to collect signatures to get out of a marriage. I don't know what the front of
Starting point is 00:04:42 the grocery stores can I borrow you for one quick second. So I'm trying to leave my husband he's a big piece of shit. Can I just get your signature. I need 10 thousand and then I can leave and have my own life. Wow divorce is front news front like that's why they're like they're like she finally did it she finally did it and and that's it that's the story that is it. That's it. That's just so fucking that's just like it's overhearing a conversation essentially you just like oh yeah what is the Akron gossip what is it yeah yeah it's the Akron you didn't hear it from me but. Robbers sell lives dearly. Oh this is
Starting point is 00:05:26 London interesting. By the way I gotta say a son you did what I do most of the time which is like it's almost like when a dog hears music I always like tilt my head like I'm like what did he just say. Robbers sell lives dearly that's a very casual way to talk about human trafficking. Is that what is happening. No very black. Okay okay. Five people are dead and more than 20 others are in the hospital in a wall. I can't read it. Walfa Mastro. Walfa Massachusetts. No it's London. Okay. A suburb of London as the result of a sensational attempt made today by two Italians at Highway Robbery. Wow really. They get right into the
Starting point is 00:06:11 ethnicity fast. They don't fuck around. But I'm just gonna give them credit. A sensational attempt. Yeah sensational attempt by two Italians. They do get style points. Yeah. Unbelievable outfits though these guys really knew what they were doing. The Italians were run down and surrounded by a posse three of their victims including. I can't help but feel like if they were just straight up well first of all they probably would never just straight up be white people but I feel like they would just be like their names would be there it would just be like less like the Italians. Yes. Yeah they would use their names if they
Starting point is 00:06:48 weren't. Yeah. Does it go into what they were trying to steal or they just got the plastic part. Okay okay. It goes into the whole thing. The the Italians had been employed in a rubber factory but having been discharged they plan to revenge themselves on their employers so they got fired and they're like okay. So they're like we're gonna steal a bunch of rubber. Yeah that was their plan. Well yeah that that sounds like a complete I mean it really does sound like a mob cover like yeah it's a rubber factory. Yeah we make balls and tires and shit. Yeah. They lay in wait near the factory and seized a bag of
Starting point is 00:07:26 money containing the week's pay of all the hands. They then started on a mad dash down the street so they grabbed money and ran. No plan. No plan at all. Hey dude we should have like talked about something before we did this shit. I know I'm regretting not even like bringing it up. Mama Mia that's my role. The police were summoned and started in pursuit in a motor car as they approached the Italians the robbers opened fire with automatic pistols on their pursuers. A number of men and boys on the street were shot down before they could recover from their surprise. I'm sorry I don't believe that was what
Starting point is 00:08:08 hurt these people like gosh I mean I know I'm bleeding out but it's the shock that'll get you. No I think it's not well written I think they're saying they were surprised at the shooting and before they could get into cover. Oh okay right right. Well that's how shooting that's how street shootings work. Yeah you're yeah you're not like there's one at three and then there'll be a 530 and then we do an 11. It's like a Disney parade. The Italians kept ahead of the automobile until they came up with a trolley car. Okay so I don't know if they came up with it. Yeah you know what it would be. It would be like on tracks and
Starting point is 00:08:43 it could ding it. That's genius dude. This just seems like a more intense Scooby-Doo villain chase. Like really. At one point the Italians run in one door but come out the other. And then it's Scooby and Shaggy. I think we're going through the same door. This they boarded and making their way up to the front platform forced the driver at the point of the revolvers to throw on full speed. Yeah it's a trolley jack. It's a hundred percent trolley jack. Wow. So they got the trolley they got the trolley going full speed. Now the trolley is gonna be on tracks right. So as far as like you like the cops like yeah no we know why don't
Starting point is 00:09:25 we just go to the end. Meet them at the end probably. The trolley going full speed. Who's the Sandra Bullock the driver. Once the trolley hits eight miles an hour the Italians are armed. The car went thundering down the track with the police automobile in pursuit. The amount of people are like hello. At a point near the Tottenham Marshes the Italians made the motorman slow down and jump it from the car. They sought a position in the marshes for their last stand. So they jumped into some swamps. And they were like this is where we go. Yeah. This is it. This is my it's the marsh move. Classic Italian move. Yeah. You know what the Italians are
Starting point is 00:10:10 in the swamp. By this time the police had been joined by several hundred laboring men. So a bunch of fucking workers came on. They're like let's kick the shit out of some Italians. We're ready. We don't have anything better to do. There's literally nothing to go on. A woman got divorced. That was the peak. Beating Italians is our job. By this time together the pursuers advanced upon the robbers. The police in the van. The Italians were surrounded and hard pressed. They saw their position was hopeless. And after the exchange of a few shots they turned the weapons upon themselves and committed suicide. Wow. What an end. Oh
Starting point is 00:10:55 God. Fucking hell. That is that explains a lot though when like you're like Willie. I mean you know they were really they were all in on the plan that they really didn't think through beyond take the money. Yeah they really didn't. And I guess jobs meant a lot more back then because there is no job in which I would turn my gun upon myself. Yeah. After getting fired. Yeah. Well yeah there I mean that's quite a revenge plot. That'll show him. Now we'll haunt them. Brilliant. My role. Yeah they won't have to deal with this anymore. Let's see how they like that. Yeah that'll show him. Do each other at the same time. So here's
Starting point is 00:11:36 we're still I guess in the criminal section. Judge has digestion and trial is postponed. Judge has to he was able to process food so we're canceling court for the day obviously. Once it comes out of his ass we'll know he fully did it. Everything's going through his system so we got to shut it down. Unfortunately the judge had to shit so we're done for the day. You know as much as much crap we give our justice system today at least there's nothing like that. We'll get back there. Yeah. I can see that happening. Just Gorsuch. Gorsuch can't rule today. He had pasta. So this action and this is a story from Nashville, Tennessee. There
Starting point is 00:12:18 was no session of court today in the trial of Colonel Duncan Cooper. His son Robin and J.D. Sharp charged with the killing of former Senator Carmack. The cause of today's postponement is an attack of indigestion suffered by Judge Hark. Indigestion. I really thought you said digestion. I did. That's the headline. The headline is digestion. So they just don't they know to differentiate and what they're like they're like we can only put one I in per article so. No they were like this is a yo this is this headline gonna really trip some people up in the future. Let's roll go with it. Yeah. I would I can't but honestly like I do
Starting point is 00:12:58 like I have bad indigestion and I there have been times where like I've been on a plane without a Toms and I'm like I'm going to pull the emergency exit door off like it is so I think I I I'm stave let me have I empathize with the judge. You can't have the judges back on this one. This is indigestion. This is also a very serious matter it feels like the killing of a former senator. Yeah. Like he's got tummy bubbles. He's got the tummy bubbles. You guys are not understanding this. This guy he'll be burping the whole time. I've got an injustice in my belly. Excuse me gentlemen. Oh today is not the day for
Starting point is 00:13:40 justice. I have my Tum Tums hurts. I have really I had potatoes. Potatoes give you indigestion. No they don't really but when I went to the doctor and he was like the things I couldn't couldn't eat I was like sir you've basically named everything that is yeah of course yeah yeah still the crime still the crime control is it is it is it a section called crime control no but it just seems to be all it just seems to be all packed in there so it's on they know they yeah they normally just like throw everything in one spot and then but it seems like later on they start to almost come around to like organization
Starting point is 00:14:19 not very yeah sections yes yeah murder than Yankees one by two and then I totally kidnapped yes completely and then it'll just be like boots for sale yeah yeah it's just like you're like how did this happen it's like it's like a hostage letter paper yeah it's all cut up from other news paper yeah it's totally yeah two weeks old baby deserted in hotel oh my god Jesus Christ that's actually a great place to leave a baby because the baby is comfortable you can leave him on a bed it can order a service I'm gonna check if you hang the thing on the door and say they won't check until you know your checkout time
Starting point is 00:15:01 they probably had a little thing you can hang on the door that would be like baby abandoned we don't want this one yeah for the maids just the label on it for the maids shitty baby inside not a keeper while the baby boy two weeks old is laughing and cooling in an asylum Jesus what I'm sorry this baby is crazy unfortunately unable to tell us how he got there so he's obviously put him in this island sir we've tried everything with the baby it's time for shock therapy that makes sense but two weeks in this thing is not turning around you tell us where your parents are baby the police are searching the fashionable
Starting point is 00:15:56 north side in an effort to learn who deserted the child last night it was found in a gray telescope in the vestibule of a hotel by a guest I'm sorry yeah we're gonna do we need to back up there well I mean I don't believe that a baby fits in a telescope so what honey let's get out of here where we put it just jam it in the telescope just go just go to the observatory and pop it in the telescope yeah it was found in a great telescope in the vestibule of a hotel by a guest who noticed the valise and heard sounds coming from it so that must be a part of a telescope right the valise sure it was like isn't that like
Starting point is 00:16:44 a suitcase of a lease oh shit so was it it was too that's strange so they just heard that word they popped it yes and then put it in a telescope yeah they put it and they put I mean that is they're really trying to cover their bases yeah I mean they're really just trying to buy as much time as possible to get away right like a Russian doll who gives up their telescope like you keep the telescope like the telescope is it there's I think I don't know it tells right that's what I feel I feel I feel like things were so fucking weird and boring oh I get it I get it now so the room is like a telescope room yeah or
Starting point is 00:17:21 like or maybe there's a shared area where it was just like okay what do you say will you get shit-faced and then go look at Mars or whatever yeah that was the Netflix of the 1999 I've seen every planet but I don't mind watching them again yeah I've been on the planets yeah they've got to come up with some better planets so predictable the baby was dressed in a white silk I can't I normally these articles can be very short this is really they're going into some depth here yes the baby is dressed in a white silk wrapper and stockings to match but there was absolutely no signs of identification so they didn't
Starting point is 00:18:04 like a baby tattoo the baby's name well you have a passport or at least they you know gave the baby matching clothes because they didn't want to be stupid when they had abandoned yeah they're trying to class it up for like the next phase toddler you know you don't want to send a toddler out there with nothing oh a clue a bear-headed woman with a satchel in her hand was seen near the hotel shortly before the child was found now Dave I gotta ask real quick are you reading a news article are you describing a fever dream because what is everything was going terribly and then someone wore a bear head it feels
Starting point is 00:18:48 like the insurrection there's a baby in a telescope but a bear-headed woman and pointed me in the right direction it's like a twin it's like twin peaks does that mean does that mean she like had a head that looked like a bear or she is wearing a fuck are you fucking kidding me she's wearing a bear head no it means she doesn't have a hat on I actually saw a baby go that way thank you bear woman thank God you're here I was white I was with you you said Dave was like these guys are really overreacting they're not wearing a hat I forgot in the 1900s it's a very big deal of someone doesn't wear it's a beatable
Starting point is 00:19:46 offense yeah it's a bit it's a detail in a story about an abandoned baby also the woman wasn't wearing a hat this story just keeps getting crazier so this doesn't have a headline from prep while preparations were being made to put him through the sweatbox Fred Hodgson's of Cleveland escaped from chief of police Smith's office at Canton by leaping through an open window well I mean again it's just sort of like the prison they took him a while to realize that prisoners will try to leave yeah yeah really trusting yeah they really had like a pretty like they were just like yeah here's your key lights at 11 we
Starting point is 00:20:27 expect you back by 10 30 obviously they had the Epstein deal yeah we'll crack a window for you in case you want to have a smoke yeah if you want to have a smoke and that all that we ask is you don't fully open it and jump out but you know it's cool whatever the woman is then the next cell is there for not having a hat on policemen shot at Hodgson's as he ran through the business streets well great that's great right through all the people are walking around get him well yeah the training is pretty much the same I'd say yeah yeah nothing has changed when he reached when he reached the United Brethren Church Hodgson's

Starting point is 00:35:09 disappearance of Charles Morton okay so Charles Morton is disappeared okay the Ohio is reeling they're like where would we get our salt Morton's gone this is an assault the Ohio and Pennsylvania League president a deeply laid plot fostered by Akron and Canton okay so they're saying Charles Morton is the is the Ohio and Pennsylvania League president and this sounds like a plot by Akron and Canton they say that these clubs knowing that Morton could not be reelected wanted to further complicated situate wanted the further complicated situation by having him disappear for a time oh yeah oh no I don't get it they I don't either yeah
Starting point is 00:35:54 they they said he could not so these are clubs and they're saying knowing that he couldn't be reelected they wanted to come okay they want to complicate the election by having him disappear it would be like if Trump won like we just hit Obama for no reason yeah I don't know what else can we do we tried to we try to do it the other way they can't be an exchange okay power he's somewhere yeah fortunately Obama's gone so he's the president until he returns I guess he's just standing behind a curtain the Oval Office he has the key he has the keys so yeah so you can't fortunately just make doing this lobby mr. Trump the
Starting point is 00:36:39 result is that right so right is the guy who was elected so the result is that right while really elected is far from being president as Morton has the papers and the funds it really is you it's what you were basically just said yes it's like I mean it's basically like your lease it's like renting a place and you just don't get your lease yeah what was the paper oh my god what are they president of just these clubs yeah yeah the house the uh yeah Ohio State League it's I wonder what the fuck that is it is stated here that the honesty of Charlie Morton who was known and admired by all is unquestionable they
Starting point is 00:37:25 merely say wait and see what the fuck does that mean honestly like a man I let you do it wait I'm sorry I won like well you're just gonna have to sit tight unfortunately why is it that the surprise party was the most clearly written story in it all this put the best reporter on the most important story oh so it's a it's a Ohio State League it was a baseball league it's a bit it's baseball yeah the first 20th century Ohio State League started in 1908 as a class D loop and ran through 1916 so so basically it was it was the new president of so it would basically just be if it were football it would just be like
Starting point is 00:38:04 Roger Goodell is the new president but then you're missing the guy before yeah and Roger Goodell never runs the NFL right so they can't they don't know what to do about the league because the previous guy has all the money in papers yeah there's a vacuum of power right by the way if this were anything else the United States would send in troops and make a coup oh my god it's a fucking baseball league yeah that is the crazy democracy of the baseball league yeah yeah we want to play him here so we don't have to play him at home okay so here's here's an ad dandruff these are these are always just
Starting point is 00:38:45 damn dandruff germs must I like that we shortened it a dandruff eventually so graphic to picture the germs okay in America the dandruff germs must go the war of extermination has been declared the battle has begun and already thousands of intelligent marigans have permanently rid themselves of this filthiness today there's no more necessary for a man to have dandruff in his hair than to have tartar on his teeth okay god this is a good aggressive ad what is this for the third Reich shampoo what is this we need to exterminate dandruff can never be cured until the small aggravating dandruff germ is
Starting point is 00:39:29 conquered and destroyed it really is certainly taking on some of the language that you're pitching aside it's not leaving Nazi rhetoric and makes the dandruff where a D on the germ we are Germany germ takes the dandruff to the shallows it's time and millions of dandruff germs have been destroyed thanks to great scientists and dermatologists who gave the world a Parisian sage the only real dandruff cure at hair grow of the world was ever known Parisian sage will cure you in two weeks or your money back so so they're pretending like dandruff is a germ thing and not just like dry skin right
Starting point is 00:40:20 there but I mean I would say that as Americans that is really yeah what we always need we just need the the the manifestation of the problem you know what I mean the war on terror it's like it's this guy who started terrorism kill him and it's solved right you know find the dandruff germ in the hey hiding in the hills yeah yeah I heard a bunch of per was it what's the at what's the product called oh Parisian sage yeah I heard I heard a bunch of their scientists are living in Argentina now okay new headlines serious charge against young Greensburg man charged with attempting to entice several young country girls of

Starting point is 00:49:34 up in the abdomen after an operation 11 years ago caused the death of Miss Mary John Donovan can she live not a full life that's a lot that'll be fine she'll live a happy life well and that by the way if you're the corner like what was the cause of death you cut her open with forceps like those mine I'm holding mine these are rusty in her kidney the operation killed her medical help the operation in which the unfortunate mistake occurred was performed by a surgeon of the city of high repute who has since died she was operated on a few years ago but the measure had been too long delayed and her death followed
Starting point is 00:50:24 a few hours later wow so they said they found the forceps and they were like there's nothing we can do yeah all the forceps were discovered the forceps discovered were completely embedded in the intestines oh well that means he also lost the forceps it was like I wonder where they went yeah I would say from a medical equipment standpoint it's not like today where it's just ubiquity like you would probably be like I have my my one set of forceps yeah but the hell where the hell did I put that god I'm gonna have to buy another I know I had him when I did the surgery there's no Adam there's no I left him in
Starting point is 00:51:02 there there's no way so weird what well that now that is a reason to call out a court yes yeah that's indigestion judge Weiney okay so this headline is caught by shoestrings I hope it's literal Frank Gallagher and Thomas Wilson were arrested by officer Baker on suspicion Friday they were engaged in the get rich quick game of peddling shoestrings hmm a classic way to make a lot of money in this country a shoestring swindle our history has no bottom it just is like an ocean floor it's just there's just tons of creatures you didn't know existed yeah like what's the what's the scam even yeah what is but how great is it how
Starting point is 00:52:00 great is it that someone just all they had left was like the shoes on their feet they're like I got a scam I know what to do okay so you actually go around and and you knock on people's doors and you say you're selling shoestrings because you have no money oh okay so you basically would go door-to-door and you'd be like I'm broke I'll sell you my shoestrings I just need a meal and people would kind of take pity on you give you some money and then you had a bunch of shoelaces and you'd go door-to-door basically like all I have is the shoelaces on my shoes I'm willing to sell them for a hot bowl
Starting point is 00:52:46 of macaroni and people like oh gosh fine we'll buy some shoe I think so I think I think that's what it is it seems to be wow it's just it while it always the like the intention is always relatable like poverty poor desperate as very related like scam real it's just the how the how is always fucking bonkers right I got a shoelace con don't worry we're gonna open a sporting house at no time I got 30 shoelaces and the water works come on when I like it yeah that's that's how they caught on he actually had didn't have one foot and was on crutches like I don't know yeah I sell one per yeah oh yeah okay so here it says both

Starting point is 00:58:51 can put between two pieces of bread give us a little more give us a little more chicken lobster and mixed salads that are stuck together with mayonnaise are excellent for sandwiches for the more delicate type while sour pickles mixed with ham roast beef and chicken sandwiches for pussies for a really sustaining luncheon there is nothing better than lean slices of roast beef chicken or turkey I would okay so let's say you don't know what a sandwich is and what meats do and the cuts of meat wait wait this is not this is not this is not an ad right this is just a guy explaining this is a story I'm about
