Let Me Tell You About... Hadacol & The Flim-Flam Men

In this episode Tad covers "traditional medicine" (big fat lies) cooked up by the greatest con-artists of all time.

Talking Points: I dont know what a quid is worth, maybe like 2 pigeons and a stone, the UK needs to get real money, medicine shows, I probably got dates wrong but its within the ballpark of 1100 to 1950, snake stabbing on stage, fat stinky cats, shetland ponies, alcohol to gun conversion rates, the boozers and the grinders and good ol' fashioned American racism.

"Do you know what a Patton medicine is?" Me, an Eagle-eyed listener of Revival: a Dungeons and Dragons Realplay Podcast: "absolutely"

Finally. An episode about snake oil salesmen

hell yeah

This is the 2020 Netflix cash-grab reboot of LMTYA Classic I was waiting for

[@cia4u401]

Being able to buy so much alcohol you get a gun and a horse for free sounds like something any other country would use as an stereotype for americans and not only it's true but it was a promo made for CHILDREN WHAT

[@kingsteve4304]

Somewhat Accurate History, disguised as a LMTYA. These two fuckin flim-flamers are the best.

[@kylo-benshapiro687]

The exploitation of Native American Tribes could be an entire episode honestly.

The radium girls only got mouth cancer because they licked their paint brushes. That said, putting it on a shirt that you wear all day long probably wasn't a good idea.

36:24 Posting the lyrics to the Hadacol Boogie since it got kind of glazed over. Also Jerry Lee Lewis didn't write it, it was written by country singer Bill Nettles (here's a link to the in-house Hadacol Band performing it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f17WqqqNnauqY9E ) Also there are like eight other Hadacol songs outside of this one with such classic titles as "Everybody Loves That Hadacol", “Valse de Hadacol" and "What Put the Pep in Grandma" Down in Lou-'si-an'er in the bright sunshine They do a little boogie-woogie all the time; They do... [Chorus:] The Hadacol Boogie (Hadacol Boogie) The Hadacol Boogie (Hadacol Boogie) The Hadacol Boogie Makes you boogie-woogie all the time. A-standin' on the corner with my bottle in my hand And up steps a mama, said, my Hadacol man; She done... [Chorus] I went down to the farm to rest about a week But the farmer's wife, she got to walkin' in her sleep; She done... [Chorus] If your radiator leaks and your motor stands still Give 'er Hadacol and watch 'er boogie up the hill; She'll do... [Chorus] The rooster and the hen, they were standin' in the shade The rooster done the boogie, while the hen laid the egg; He done... [Chorus] The other little chickens, they gathered around They done the boogie-woogie, til the sun went down; They done- [Chorus]

bunco artists refers to the dice game bunco, now its a recreational game but at one point it was a common scam in gambling circles to the point anti gambling units were bunco squads

WARNING DONT READ IF EASILY OFFENDED Hey aleks Yes tad Let me tell you about these nuts!!!!! Original joke by Peter H

[@UsingGorillaLogic]

I love tad's history episodes because while he doesn't make a lot of them, when he does they are total bangers.

[@Awsomeisimo]

So John Hamlin was the original redditor

[@tootsie_]

I'd think he's more of an Instagram meme account owner because he steals content.

[@maxpitchkites]

The Master would be a good Best Boyz: Film-flam edition. It's a film loosely based on the life of L Ron Hubbard, the founder of scientology, snake oil extraordinaire.

Welp looks like it's time to drop what I was doing

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

Special thanks to KZbin deleting my comment for no reason. I guess it doesn't think that recounting further tales of animals being sent through the mail is something that should be talked about. Or maybe it's just been held and there's no feedback for that on my end. Either way, fuck off KZbin. Massive magonkabledookers needs to be in the Noyz Boyz intro if it ever gets one.

i love how each laugh is a little more of aleck's faith in humanity dying a little bit more with us. also Quakers don't make babies they only adopt or convert, thats a big reason why theres so few around anymore

also all I could find about a "gun" is a water gun

[@ShrimpinAintEasy]

also vodka is normally like 80 proof, so 40% ABV. Wizard oil was like double vodka.
