Everybody when he left Everyone was like oh good he's gone March 23rd 1871 I'm into it Let's go back Let's retry It's not that great It's not, but honestly, would you rather be looking down the barrel of that or what's coming?

Give me that. I'd rather that. I think it's going to be wonderful in a couple of years. I think it's going to be real good. Frank Reagan was born in Chicago to Matthew and Elizabeth. He was one of six kids. His brother James was 10 years younger and would continue to be 10 years younger throughout their lives. What a weird time that was. It was when people stayed the same age as difference.

That's one thing I love about having a brother. I'm going to catch him. Yeah. Age-wise, I'm going to get them. Yeah, you'll get them. I'll get them. They lived in the Canaryville district. Is that still a thing?

One of the toughest neighborhoods in Chicago, is it still now? Canaryville? Canaryville. It was right next to the Union Stockyards, so most of the events. work grueling jobs in meat packing plants. Very run-down area. I'm telling you, I'll trade it in a heartbeat. It was a run-down area with poorly built Shacks,

high-crime, Irish gangs, urban blights, pollution, and corruption, and became called Canaryville, either because of the Irish gangs that acted like wild canaries. What? Or because of the many canaries feeding off waste from the stockyard. Well, it better be that one. The canary's eating the waste. Yeah.

You still want to live there? Well, I probably wouldn't love that part of town. That's the nice part of town. No, I'm going to be fucking hanging out here with Stu. Little Stu boy. Yeah, my mate, yeah. Awesome. Why is he English?

Look at him. That's my mate. He's born in Chicago. Yeah, that's my fucking man. That is, yeah, we don't need to walk, we just need the crime. Yeah. Sharing that fucking toilet. Yeah.

Here he goes, I go, bing bang, bum. Eating the canaries. Oh, that's fucking spot on, that is. Maybe you should live there because do you think a kid sitting on stairs is taking a shit? Yeah, you can never with that age, just because they're having a sit, they might be having a shit. Very tiny.

He's quite, he's titchy that one is. He's nice, yeah. You know what he's, like, he's like Oliver, and I'm like that old weird guy. No, first of all, no. Fagan. You're definitely an old weird guy. Yeah, but I'm like, I'm singing the songs.

I'm like, you've got to have a crap inside a bucket. He's in Chicago. Yeah, I know, but that's what makes this fuck, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Back to the back to the fucking poo canal.

During the late 19th century, the back of the yards area also became known for youth gangs, many who were connected to local athletic clubs. Historian Andrew Diamond quote, according to one resident, youths from these communities

thirsted for a fight. And Saturday night turf battles between canary villains and Hamburg lads often produced broken noses. Tonight we have the canaries versus the hamburgers. Canary villains.

Canary villains. And Hamburg Lads. Versus the hamburger boys. I don't think they had hamburgers back then, but that would have been... Not yet, but wait, do you see these boys? Pretty fucking awesome. Pounding each other into patties.

What? We'll be right back. Hey, you're pretty bad on air. I was just trying to help out, but you were saying... You were saying a lot of words. It didn't make sense. Hang in there when we come back for break, which we will soon.

Often produced broken noses and black eyes that were too numerous to count. Probably just because math wasn't a strong suit. There are so many we can't count. There's six. Wow. Check out the human calculator on this guy. Unbelievable. By the 20th century, early 20th century, there are over 300 athletic clubs.

Why do we do it like 20th century 1900s? How did that start? It's just a different number. It's very confusing. The big number turns. It goes from 99 to 00 and everyone, it's cool. We'll be right back. You are blowing this. You are booth poison. I'm on fire. for the people who were subdued

and they're going to love it. We'll be right back with Dennis Faust. We should have seen them. Most operated essentially as gangs. In 1898, Chris O'Brien started Morgan Athletics Club. So they had a gym and a football and baseball teams. They threw annual ball. with minstrel shows.

Oh, my God. Good, make one of your little jokes. Ladies and gentlemen, the Prime Minister of Canada. And England, and Australia. And soon to be America. They will probably have a menstrual ball. What we did was totally okay. Everybody was left.

except for the weird left-wing media. In 1900, Frank created Reagan's Athletic and Benevolent Association. Feels like a tell. You're benevolent? The book Homicide says he changed the name from Morgan Athletic Club, quote, The change in name was decided upon after a picnic given by the club in the old Santa Fe Park ended.

in a riot. Hey, the title of that book one more time? It's called Homicide? Hey, guy, what? Yeah. I might have give it a little bit away. Okay, dokey.

So they had a picnic and it turned into a riot and then they had to change their name. That happens. That's a fine. O'Brien's football team moved to Normal Park and became the racing normals and then the racing Cardinals. Okay.

Normals is a tell, too. We're fine. Reagan's Club became Reagan's Colts, and they had a baseball team and a boxing club. Man. Was anybody good at sports back then? Well, dude, it was just like,

Whitey Buchanan versus Pale McGraw. In 1902, the Colts out of 160 members, and by 1908, they had 2,000. And this is just some club that Frank Reagan has started, essentially? Yeah, basically. Like an athletic-y, sportsy club for the most. They were one of the biggest and most powerful gangs in the area, and their motto was, Hit Me and You Hit 2000.

Oh, that's a pretty good motto. I do like that. James Reagan helped his brother run the club. James loved crime. Big fan of crime. That's a good. That's good. Most were the sons of meatpacking and factory workers.

The sociologists from the 20s concluded, quote, the sons of Irish laborers in the packing houses and the stockyards joined gangs like Reagan's cult because Americanization made them averse to the plodding seasonal heavy and odoriferous labor of their parents beset with the competition of wave upon wave of immigrants who poured into the area and bid for the jobs at lesser wages. You want me to read it as Trump? No.

So essentially, they started going there because of a xenophobia wage gap? Yeah, a little bit of xenophobia, but also the wages are going down, but also the work just was shit, and they're like, I don't want to do that.

Not from what I could tell that. Yeah, would you rather do that or join a game? Instead, you could go, beat people up and, you know, beat people up. Okay, so it was either this or go fight? I mean, kind of, yeah. Okay. A lot of gangs were racist, including Reagan's cults.

A Reagan racist? Yeah. Imagine. Good, sir. Imagine. They hated the, they hated black people moving up from the South and new European immigrants, meaning the Polish, the Lithuanians, the Italians, and European Jews. Diamond quote, these newcomers were hardly welcomed by the largely native-born Irish and Germans who composed the quote, butcher aristocracy.

The butcher aristocracy. Of the packing houses. So that was that was butcher aristocracy. That was butcher aristocracy. That's it. That's it work. They're like guys with job. Yeah, that's it.

Wow. You're living large. Wow. All right. And then a lot of xenophobia and racism. And they were long-term. residents of Bridgeport and back of the yards. A description of a packing house.

Quote, a line of dangling hogs 100 yards in length and for every yard there was a man working as if a demon were after him. Oh, sweet God. And that's how it should be in a factory. You should, I want to see you guys working

like there's a fucking demon after you. That is true. Don't let Jeff Bezos hear that line. Boy, so all you could do was just hog chop all day long. Constantly sweating and hog chopping. Sweating and just hog chop it away. More industrialization, men fewer jobs, less money, harder work. The young men weren't super into working their jobs, those jobs,

spending their lives hauling dead pigs for shit money. They were Americans and they wanted the American dream and they started to see they had other options, namely crime. Sweet, sweet crime. Isn't that really the American dream? Yeah. Just at the end of the day, that's what you do. Frank hired out his club boys, including his brother James, to local Democratic politicians to commit election fraud, intimidate voters, and rig ballots.

There we go. Don't let Elon here then. Now, is that when the Democrats were the Democrats? I mean, yeah. I mean, no, they're the flip. Yeah, so this is flip time. Yeah. Gotcha.

Fucking Mago tools. Not that it really matters at the end of the day. Do you not ever drink wine like that around me. Why? You're my best friend dad. No, you're my enemy. No, I love you. Hey.

No. Stop it. Can't. One member quote, when we dropped into a polling place, everyone else dropped out. Okay. Pretty good. I'll tell you what, I'd rather that system than texting me eight times a day. I'd much rather that.

That's insane. Gareth, democracy died this morning. Can we suck your dick for $4? I always get the one that's like, I was born into a welfare situation as a kid. I joined the army. I learned how to fly a jet, and now I'm a black gay woman man.

Can I have $4? They just list it all. Can I have a dollar? I want a dollar. My favorite. is when it pops up on YouTube, I'm like, how quickly can I hit the skip ad button? Like, it's like a game where I'm like, let me just fuck it.

It's like, hi, I'm John Ossoff. Now, I know you're sick of here, skip ad. They're doing fine, though. They've got it all figured out. No, there's definitely a momentum. You can feel that Democrats have really got it now. Well, ever since Chuck Schumer went out in the streets and said, we will win.

Things have been on... He's the guy I have most of my faith in right here. Absolutely. He finally got progressive. Once, well, that's as progressive as he gets. Once they put, once they're able to put an eight-foot ladder in his spine, look out. Once they get that neck a foot above his shoulders, instead of having it nipple height, Chuck Schumer's quest to slowly suck his own dick continues.

I'm slowly headed down to my own cock. Can I have $4 to suck my own dick? I don't know why you got it. It's one of our leaders. The club got many candidates into the city council and state legislature. In 1910, Frank was elected to the Cook County Board of Commissioners. So the Colts main thing, still crime. That's the gang there.

There's the boys. Wow. couldn't you like dress differently to hide that you were associated with gangs? Why would you do that? Because that's just to me as a very obvious tell of like, yeah, don't worry about it. Crime, what's crime? How do you even spell that?

I ain't ever even heard of no crime before. And then me and the little kid are hanging out there too. All right, yeah, don't mind him, my little... You go in, fill the bucket, I'll follow you. What the fuck are you talking? Now they're going in there to the club to fill a fucking... Fuck it. Bank.

What? Bank. Yeah, me and a boy. That's a saloon. Yeah, but we're around the corner, mate. Fucking... So it has nothing to do with this? Well, maybe we're in cahoots.

Or... How would... Why would they be in cahoots with a bank shitter? No, no. But bank... No, no. He's shit in the distractor, mate. Then I'll go in.

Sit in the what? Yeah. Shit in the what? What was the word you... Yeah. No, the crazy mangled English word you... Yeah, then we go in, yeah, exactly. Yeah, and then we make a song like Oliver, because I'm the elder.

Yeah, you've got to get inside the vault. And if they catch us, say it's not my fault. If you're in the vault, you're all right. Do the code. We'll get in that night. Stay up, little boy. If they ask, we'll say, fuck it. But at the end of the day, we're putting waste in that bucket.

That's what we're doing. Weird aren't you? Why would you applaud that? Yeah. Yeah, two parts of it rhyme. They gave it, mate. Yeah. Go on then.

So many people listening for the first time just turned it off. We don't need them. Some cults were Gunner McFadden who killed a lot of people. No shit. And also murdering Mike, who was good with a... pistol. Sluen owner Harry Madigan, who did a lot of kidnappings and assaults during elections. Harry Madigan sounds like one of those weird sex position jokes. You've had Harry Madigan? What's the position? That's where you shave all your pubs off and have sex

with it. With the pubs? I don't think that's a sex position. Yeah. You asked. I don't... I asked for something completely. different. We can start the meal from scratch or you can eat what's in front of you. Dynamite Brooks, who was a saloon owner who killed people in drunken rages.

I mean, they're all, I'm not going to keep doing them, but there was Danny McFall, who was a sheriff, even though he'd killed business competitors. Okay. There was Hitman Stubby McGovern.

Yeah, and Don't worry about it. There was Yiddles Miller, who was a boxing ref and huge racist. He once called guys in the KKK N-word lovers. Holy fuck. What? You fucking imagine? By the way, that might be the only way to infiltrate and defeat them.

You've just got to shove them so far right. They're like, fuck it. I'm fucking, I'm Democrat. Y'all love black people. What you do? Now James Reagan Wait, is this the story of Reagan the break dancer?

Now that I'm seeing the spelling. I don't want to do that because I don't want to sue us. Is she litigious? Oh, yeah. A Australian comedian wrote a play about her and she sued so she couldn't put it on. She's great. Because if you dance like that,

for God's sakes, don't have a sense of humor about it. That's the most important thing. Can you imagine going out to the Olympics about to do that and be like, not now, I got to focus. Then go out there and be like, again, agag, ah, ah, ah, come back, people like, went pretty good. Yeah.

Did you, that was rehearsed? Oh, yeah, meticulously. So James Reagan was a jackbooter, which, so they used violence to make newsstands carry or buy, more newspapers than needed. Now... That's how... That's just the newspaper business.

Walk me through how they would do that. So you hire a guy, a couple of guys. To go rob the news? No, you're not robbing it. You're going and you're like, you're going to fucking sell this paper, you son of a bitch. The paper that you're bringing. Yeah, and the guys are like, all right, I'll sell the paper. Just don't hurt me.

And if they don't sell the paper, I got to break it. The paper is an actual periodical? A hurst paper or another paper. It's actual daily newspapers. Daily newspapers. Just go there with a lot of papers? Yeah. I love it.

You're going to sell the rest of these New York Times, otherwise it's going to be your life, you understand? Well, he was working for Hearst, so he was a jackbooter for Hurst. Mm. He was also a labor slugger for a plumber's union. So he works on behalf of the plumbing complex? The plumbing.

No, he beats people up. for the plumbing union. Oh, so he's beating, who is he beating up on behalf of the plumbing? He would be scabs or, if you got a cop or whatever. You get out of there,

you dirty clogs. Exactly. So scabs, okay, well, we like that a little bit. And they would fight other unions. Oh, they would fight other unions? Yeah, why not? Oh, man, I'll tell you, you know what?

We've got to bring union backs for like eight reasons. Union-on-union rumbles? Violence. All right, today we're going to see the plumbers go against the mechanics. The electricians versus the drywallers. Well, their competing union was the steam fitters union.

The seed fitters? Steam fitters? Yeah. What are they? The trains? No. Fit in steam? I don't know if there were trains.

I mean, there were steam engines. Where are they fit in steam? We could put a little steam inside of there for you. Let me have the comedy time and then we'll answer the questions. We got it. Don't worry about it. Let me talk to Info, Jeannie. I could probably.

You probably know, don't you? Do you? Yeah, do you know the steam fitting? What? Heating. Okay. That's my friend, Michael, who knows everything. Do you want to do a show?

We're like episode three. I'm like, that's not going good. Ah, cool. His schedule's crazy. Yeah, anyway, I'm out of here. Okay. So in 1911, James and four other sluggers, stormed a building and attacked steam fitters

who were refusing to quit work during a strike. Now, I'm a little confused as to, because I felt like up until this point I didn't like James, and then stuff like that, I feel like I kind of like that sort of stuff. Yeah, but he's, he's, if you give him money, he'll do whatever. So there's no ideology in this.

Can you imagine that being a functional way to make a living in this country. It's just an ideology for hire. The steam fitters are the worst. No, I'm way more into vapor. I like ice, not steam. That's the only way I like my water. That's them saying,

boo-ya, because they agree. You know, they drive around in cars and if their tires are flat, they can't drive. So in 1911, he... There's also a lot of times in Corolla's. I know. Like, can you imagine joining ice? And then them being like,

Anna, use your car. He got like a baby seat in the bag. It's fine. So like I said, in 1911... Dean Cain's in the front seat already? How are you? Put on the heat warmer. My back hurts.

The video of him running the obstacle... This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. lowest thing you've ever seen. It's the greatest thing I've ever. From Superman to, my back hurt going over a pole. In 1911, James and four others stormed a building and attacked steamfitters who refused

to quit working. One was James Ramfleur and he kept at it when they told him to stop so James shot him in the abdomen. Well, that'll stop. Yeah, that stops. Yeah. Should have listen. He got up to 14 years on top of a burglary conviction.

which was five years. So James is... Yeah. He's away. He's off. Now, Frank is president of the club for many years, and the club officers, like, they all love him. In early 1912, Frank had a fight with Commissioner Joseph Mendel over raising salaries,

and Mendel ended up in the hospital and had a black eye, but later he laughed about it, quote, we just got pretty close together. That's a toxic relationship. We just got close together. We were just knocking each other's skin a little bit. Frank denied it, and the two other commissioners backed up, Frank. Frank, quote, it just got pretty interesting.

Those are great. Oh, my God. He doesn't love you. Later that year, the Chicago Examiner reported Frank Mandel and Board President Bardson, board president Barson, and they argued over a nurse's contract. Barsen accused them of lying in the papers and calling Reagan a, quote, cheap, petty thief, Frank, quote, Get out, you great, get out, you great Big April fool.

Yes, Dave. We really should just be going through and, like, ripping these old, like bringing those back. What are you talking about? You sound like an April fool. Easy does it, goofball. Bars and quote, get out. Say, I wouldn't talk with a cheap thief like you. Frank, shut your mouth, your great big loud mouth.

Oh, that's terrible. When that comes out, you're like, I said mouth twice. Fuck. God damn it. Shut your mouth, you big loud mouth. Oh, God. Damn it. Lip-flapper?

Too late? Barsen went to grab Frank, but another committee member, quote, caught the president by the coattails until Frank was out of the building. So they hustled them out, but a lot of fights going on. I just can't get over you, April Fool. Quiet, you, April Fool. What? What were you going to say?

I just wish the L.A. City Council would fight like this. Oh. Frank conspired to get rid of President Bardson and the committee charged Barson with various corruption charges, and Frank accused him of election fraud, and he was out. On September 7th, 1913, a tribute headline read, Reagan assaults man at hospital. What a great place to do it, though.

Right? Wham! There you go. Room for it. There you are. He's taking a turn for the worst for some reason. What do you mean? His leg hurts?

No, his head got punched. What? Yeah. Commissioners ran, so the commissioners were running public hospitals for the poor, and they give free service to those who couldn't pay, but the commissioners gave cards to friends, relatives and donors, to get them free health care. Better system.

It is a better system. Hands down, better system. Way better. Fucking free health care cards. Hello. One fix me, please. Way better. So then they hired hospital investigators to check people's eligibility,

and in five days, 136 people were rejected. So then three commissioners got pissed and went down there to see what the fuck was happening. And the investigator who was on duty, Wikowski, said he had made judgment calls on each patient, and Frank called him a vile name. Uquowski said, you can't call me that. Do we know the vile name? No, I couldn't find it. Let's go with cunt.

That wouldn't be cunt. You don't think it would. After hearing April Fool? Yeah, they really took it up a notch. Can you imagine? You April fool. Shut up, cunt. Whoa, what the fuck?

Hey, hey, hey. No. What? The first time you say that word in that time. Holy shit. What the hell? Just a hole opens up and the devil emerges. I have to ask you to retract what you've said.

We're not ready for that down here. Not that escalation is too large. You jumped way too far ahead. The Chicago Tribune quote. Your four-fingered mitten? Better. You gaping anus. It's almost worth time traveling just to go back there to drop the C word.

How dare you, you gaping anus? Why, I'll give you a piece of my mind. Shut up, cunt. What the fact? No. The Chicago Tribune quote, with that, Reagan rushed him and Wikowsky made no attempt to strike him. He put up his arms and received a rain of blows on the shoulders. in arms.

And then when question about it, Frank later threw a book at another commissioner and challenged him. It's like the right level of like violence is matching. Like it's a fine level. It's not great, but it's like this level of violence is sustainable.

You know what I mean? Like I look back like, oh, that'd be great when you were just like you threw a book at someone and you were like, a line's been major late crossed. So Frank was arrested. but the charges were dropped when he apologized. Also the best. Say it, boy.

I am sorry. You're free to go. A paper said Frank had clearly changed in his apology speech, which was, quote, and his apology speech, quote, made one feel an infinite respect for the man. So here's part of the apology speech. Quote, I don't think it was my fault.

You can tell he means it. I don't think it was my fault. And there were a couple of resolutions brought in the other day that worked me up. One after the other that was brought and called me a lot of names that I didn't think was right. And in my excitement, I lost my head. And I said a lot of things I want to apologize for to the board commissioners to President McCormick. And mostly of all, my friend, Mr. Clooney. threw the book out. I'm very sorry for what happened and Mr. Clooney,

sorry, Coonle, and I think he's the best man that ever lived. Jesus Christ. He's perfect in pretty much every way. Like someone put Adonis's body on Einstein's brain. Mr. Coonle, will you marry me? And talk about a hog. I came down here today and met Mr. Coonle and shook hands with him, and I told them I thought he was the grandest man that ever lived.

I mean, that's an apology. Yeah, it's how you do it. That's just, I don't, I've never been apologized to on that level. That'd be great. Looking in your direction. It turns out the board president was also sending friends to the hospital, and

he blamed his secretary. Always. Yeah, he got to. A letter to the editor praised Frank's incredible generosity, quote on Christmas Eve, that well-known and popular commissioner, Frank Reagan hired an automobile at his own expense

to distribute baskets to the poor. Dude, he 100% got a Christmas Carol or whatever. He got visited, but he had Marley. He had three ghosts. Sounds like it, right? Yeah. This has been the greatest thing ever done in the Stockyards District. Frank Reagan's name will forever be in the homes

of the poor people. And some people think that he actually wrote that under a student. It's very sweet, though. Or it was a guy who owed him a lot of money who wrote it. Right. The Frank Reagan, sorry, the Reagan Club annual ball was still a huge deal. Thousands of people would go.

And in 1915, women's organizations were fighting against liquor permits for dances. And attended, quote, there was debauchery and drunkenness in all sorts of indecent dancing at two o'clock in the morning. The costumes of the women included baseball uniform. pajamas, little girl or little boy costumes. Not a big woo there, is it? The affair had the usual vulgarity. Now, wait a little bit of DDLG. What the fuck does that mean?

It's a submissive, the, daddy, daddy dom, right? Daddy Dom? Daddy Dom, little girl. Jesus Christ. It's normal. Dropping that acronym. You all know the DDL. LG.

Show him your president's card, Dave. Now, wait a minute. So the women were fighting against liquor being permitted there? Yeah, and they were upset. Because... Because when men were drunk, they were being... Well, no, there's drunkenness,

but it's also drunkenness combined with this debauchery of, like... Right. They want sober debauchas. Right. I don't think they want any debauchery, but... Oh. I think they just want... Well, then they shouldn't wear those revealing baseball uniforms.

Vava, va, voam. Plus the D-D-L-G that's going on. What? But there's like... I like D-D-O-B. What's that? Daddy-D-D-D-O-B. The grandpa, what did I say?

I like G-P-O-B. Grandpa and old boys. So that would be Daddy-Dom and old boys. I don't want all the pressure. of being a dog. Believe me, it sounds good until you're in the position. You're just like, hey, let's just get some nachos. I'm exhausted.

Do you mind what? Can we just watch some Hulu? Is that crazy? Let's make a cauliflower pizza and watch some Hulu together. I nodded off. It says, are you still watching? Are you talking about Netflix and chill? No, no, no.

I'm talking about Hulu and collapse. I think they want to get rid of alcohol because then they know no one will go to the ball. Oh, okay. Yeah. One person wrote, quote, it was horrible about the ball. It sounds like it.

In March 1916, 38-year-old Frank got married to Mary O'Malley, who was 20 years old, which is pretty good for back then. Honestly, that age reveal, I thought, was going to be a lot worse. You left it for the end. I was like, here we go. 11.

No, 20. We'll take it. Fucking A. He was still paying the Colts Clubhouse rent. They were expected to help him when he needed them. In 1918, Republican Mayor Big Bill Thompson won. He got a majority of the black vote, which combined with his anti-Catholic views,

pissed off the Irish gangs. Now... So fucking... hilarious the way that applause was like, please. And so the Irish gangs want revenge. In an early June 1919, the Colts went on a rampage on 54th Street between Western Indiana

and Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, which was the border between the white Irish neighborhood and the black part of town. They broke windows of black-owned homes and knocked out the streetlight. There was only one street light on the...

That's hits. We've shown them who's boss. they donned blackface and set fire to parts of the Polish and Lithuanian neighborhoods to try to get the Polish and Lithuanian to attack. I genuinely feel like at the beginning of this story, there were like people with Irish descent and they were like, fuck yeah. He was like, let Dave continue. So you were in blackface beating everyone.

It's a different time. It was fighting for our neighborhood. We didn't know what he was doing it at a time. Two days later, they hit Shields Avenue Where nine black families lived on the wrong side of Wentworth Avenue It wasn't Colts territory, but they wanted to show the other nearby Irish gang The Shielders how to quote run all the N-words out Fucking Irish

It was a race riot as they shot into black homes through rocks And set them on fire and egged other Irish gangs get involved And egged? Oh, Egged other Irish crimes. Oh, I thought, calm down, calm down. No, but I wasn't even that. It was that.

It was that they were like, burn down every black person's home. What about the Irish? Toss eggs at them. Diamond quote, in one instance, a white mob pouring out of a nearby tavern killed a man in an orgy of violence, stabbing, shooting, and in a gesture that pointedly bespoke the male sporting culture within which, this violence erupted, whacking him on the head with billiard cues. Sweet.

Okay. Members of the gang were very young. The killers of one guy were said to be around 16. Mobs of Irish gangs chased down black guys to beat and stone them in front of crowds of onlookers. In the first two days of the riot, there were 29 deaths and 368 injuries. Holy shit. Jesus Christ, oh my God. Way to go, Chicago.

Yeah, honestly. The cults planned on running a huge area that included the south part of Canaryville to the area on Washington Park, but there was a section in the middle dominated by African Americans. And witnesses heard a cult tell a black man on the first night, quote, remember, it's the Reagan cults you're dealing with. We have 2,000 members between Halstead and Cottage Grove and 43rd and 63rd. So here... Okay, so here's

I'm... I actually don't know some of the... Well, 63rd and fucking 43rd, you know, right? 603 doesn't even go that high though, does it? What the fuck are you talking about? Well, I just want to make sure I know exactly where to... So, so, okay, so, but then, east-west, what are we talking?

We're talking, uh, Halstead and Cottage. Oh. Cottage Grove. Oh, Cottage Grove? Do you ever fucking walk? What does that turn into if you keep going south? What is that? Because doesn't that, it's not cottage...

Grove the whole way. Lake Ave, I think, probably. A lake name thing? No, that's not going to, the intersection are off. Parkland? Parkland? No. Hold on. Just so I can be very clear, I would just like to be walked through this one more time. Holy fucking shit. No, no, no. It's important to get this right. We've been doing this so long the riot's almost over. That's the idea. I think it's going. What the fuck? All right, hold on. Wait, let's get this proper. What? God, I'll tell you what. We're not so different. you think about it. Yeah, we are. So he said, we intend to run this district. Look out. After two weeks of rioting, the Illinois State Militia... I mean, you know what? This story like this,

probably five years ago, I'd have been like, whoa. Now I'm like, yeah, it's pretty short. That seems like a dream, two weeks. After two weeks of rioting, the Illinois State militia evacuated the south side of Chicago. Oof. The rate, how do you evacuate the south side of Chicago? Like, that's fucking crazy. Where'd they go? Yeah, I don't know.

The race riot led to questions being asked about what was happening to the youth. Oh, my God. And the athletics club represented a big generational divide. Parents of one Colts member said they were deeply embarrassed by his involvement, especially after he got arrested,

Yeah. And after they got arrested of me, they got arrested because of his actions. Right. And spoke of trying to keep him away from the clubs. They arrested them? The parents, yeah. See, more of that, too. Oh, come on.

Fuck off. Yeah, oh, you say that because you have a kid. Yes. Yeah, no. I don't know what that little shiths doing. That's what I want. I want more of that. I'll turn you in.

Yeah, I bet you would. Oh, it was definitely the dad. Listen to the dollop. I'm like in a babushka with a picnic basket I believe his podcast is called Dolop He's always been terrible influence on the entire neighborhood Anyway, I'm off to go by Rye They also felt ashamed when they saw their neighbors

And wondered if they would have to move So it's like Yeah So society is shaming them Which is what you're supposed to do Yeah I agree Arrest the parents and shame them You should shame as many people as you can all the time.

Yeah, well, not, no. Constantly shame. No, there's some people you don't want to shame. Always shame. No, there's some people you want to be, yeah. No, shame them. No, wrong. We're a pro-shaming podcast.

No. For the most part. It's a matter what the fucking deal is. No, it's not a... If you're a fucking alcoholic, you know what I mean? You can't do a show without fucking drinking? Shame him. He tell his boy to use baseball bat for crime.

He terrible father, if anything. I don't believe. he get it up because I always hear his wife say, please, try, please, try. I right next door the whole time. She's screaming. Oh, please. Just give me one shot, please. Where are you?

Oh, and all I know is they do on Helix mattress, which is supposed to be one of the better mattresses. I believe he has California Dukes looks. No, the Ducks leeks. You go on website, take quiz. You find the right mattress for you. It's like Tinder but for a bed. Jesus.

What? It's not... It's upsetting. Older people thought Reagan's cults were, quote, a rough and impertinent crowd and very unpopular in their own neighborhood. It sounds like they're in a cult. Yeah. And after the riot, it became a lot worse to be a cult member.

Now, Alderman O'Toole, Alderman O'Toole. Uh-huh. Alderman O'Toole had all capital. The cabraising clubs in the Ride District closed, including the Reagan Colts Club. There'd be no dancing. But O'Toole's Club stayed open. But we'll keep one open just so people have an outlet.

A place to go, a run off. The number of gang members in the closed clubs numbered 7,000. Wait, what? Holy shit. Some stayed open and dared the cops to raid. the Pelican Club put up a sign that said quote come over and arrest us and no cops did pretty good

when the Colts heard an anti-papist was speaking nearby they crowded the lecture hall and broke it up before it started the dollop is brought to you by Pasty Gareth

Finally. Gangs of the back of the yards district were ready made for beer running and organized crime. There was also a increase in the prominence of the KKK? The cults are very anti-KKKK, not for the racism, but because

anti-Kal. Because of the fucking outfits. It's the outfits. In 1921, they quote, rallied a crowd of some 3,000 people from the Stockyard districts to watch them hang

a white sheeted clansman an effigy. Oh, man, the effigy part hurts. Many Irish families had moved up socially to nicer suburb, now, which weakened the power of many clubs as their numbers shrank. And in the early 1920s, the cults even started taking in Jewish members. Wow.

I mean, for them, that's pretty fucking crazy. Wow, who have we become? I feel like we'd not what we used to be. Wow, time to look in the mirror. Fuck. Oh, Jesus Christ. What are we? The KKK brought the Jews and Catholics closer together.

Oh, that's nice. Common enemy. That is not what we were trying to do. Fuck. Russian Jews and Irish Catholics also bonded over hating the Polish. I get it. Also a lovely story. Well, that's beautiful.

Yeah, that should be like a hallmark. And that's why those Polish jokes that we learned as kids carried for so long. Those are also true, though. It was just forever. It was like when I was like 15, I was like, wait, what just happened? We're still doing Polish jokes? Yeah, I was like, wait. Especially being, I mean, you guys here at least had, like, there was like a large Polish population, but not in California.

It doesn't make it better. I know, but at least you could, like, why would we tell Polish jokes in California? Well, in Wisconsin, I was like, man, what was he up in that tree raking leaves for in the first place? I was like nine years old. Like, this is true? What? Good on them for making submarines, but the doors are an issue. Throughout the 20s, bad press about beer running murders and sexual assaults hurt the cult's reputation.

If you can imagine that being... In 1922, Frank was up for re-election, but the cults were now so toxic that even he disowned them. Wow, that is crazy I never liked them I never liked them It is I mean you do like Having a standard

It used to It's not great But like there used to be like Some people would be like I'm walking away This got too fucking racist They're too bad I'm like out of here I mean it took him 20 years

But he did it Yeah I guess we'll see what happened After they cost a race rat Yeah I'm not saying it's ideal He claimed to be sick of bailing members out of jail every Saturday night, and he cut ties. But the members still admired and were loyal to him.

Without his money, the club shut down, but a new funder came forward and reopened it. Uh-oh. I am nervous about that. We don't know who that is. I know, but there's a vacuum of power, and it could go real south, real fast, literally south. Frank still lost the election. Now, the club was now often being rated by cops for committing beer-running murders. It was a big thing.

Yeah, but, yeah, right. Well, it was like, this is what, the crime? It's pro-bishopone or whatever. That guy. Yeah, that guy. Hometown hero. He's coming up. The Reagan Athletic Club got an injunction restraining the cops for, quote, promiscuous rating of the clubhouse.

They were fingering the establishment. Hey, quit fucking my door. Huh? Then open it up. Then open it up. Huh. Pugh. Pick that fucking lock.

But cops still rated because Colts were shooting at cops. They were also still doing election strong armwork, like they kidnapped an election clerk in 1924. They were arrested and acquitted when the prosecutor barely made a case and the main witness recanted. Okay. I like the kidnapping of the election clerk. Now, Frank went back to being a union leader. And he was elected head of the newly created meter readers union. Oh, fucking, I bet you wish those times were back.

What you got now? And claimed he would shut a plant down unless they'd be. their demands were met, the Chicago Tribune headline was Frank Reagan appears as new dictator. So the fight started when the company fired eight workers for joining the union, and by noon that day, 70 workers had quit in solidarity. Frank said they couldn't get by on their wages, especially the married ones. The Edison company said the workers were misled by Frank and had no demands or grievances.

They're fine. It's the Frank guy. They're fine. That's it. So they were like, we have nothing. We're good. They didn't mean anything. They're fine.

They're good. They also claimed only... We demand to work longer hours. Less water. They also claimed only five or six of them are married, and that's their choice, and they get a good deal, so shut up. Who was that guy? It's the Edison company.

I know. but they were like, also only six of them are married. A lot of us are hanging out. You know what I'm saying? Down to clown. Trick the L train to clown town. Ready, eight. Six of them are married.

But by the way, they're not... And then the rest of us are ready to get crazy. Like down low? Whatever you need, brother. Name it, we'll do it. Yeah. We're ready to go. Hey.

Oh, yeah. No, I hear you. I hear you. I'm just not really interested. Hit the showers. You hit the showers. Okay. No.

All right. Not with me. And we'll do it dirty. I don't go to your house. We'll figure it out. Figure one out. Everything. Go to your place for a little while.

What is it? I don't know. Do you have a decanter? No. All right. I'll get you one for your birthday. Fuck it. What kind of threat is that?

I don't, it's not even a threat. I'd like to be a really good friend. Maybe more. Not. Maybe more than that. You're a fucking weirdo. All right. Fine.

We could just make it a casual thing. I don't want it to be anything. I just want... Me either. One night. Leave it all out there. This is... Literally.

What happens in the morning? This is... The worst union negotiation I've ever had. All right. All right. Let's go back to the beginning. I'm just... All right.

We want... We want... An eight-hour work. And then hang out. If we like each other, we'll talk. This has got nothing. Maybe we'll make waffles in the morning. No!

All right. Same bed, one night. I'll leave after. All right, I'll stay. What do you want from me? We want our uniforms paid for also. All right, we're going to pay for you uniforms. We'll do the, yeah.

We did an eight-hour work day. Yes. And we hang out over a weekend in a cabin. And all. All I got to do is, all I got to do is fuck. I just got to fuck you. That's it. Yeah.

All I got to is fuck you and then all the guys get paid. Oh, you think I'm kind of like that? Are you a top? Yes. Well, shit, so am I. Well. Sorry, boys. I couldn't break him down on the contract.

He's good, boys. He's one of the best we've ever come into contact with. So the, so, so, the, so the, Edison says they were misled and that they have no demands or grievances. They claim only five or six are married, and it's a good deal, so take it and shut up. After two weeks, they did. They won. They got a 10% raise and safer working conditions.

By 1925, the Chicago Tribune called Frank, quote, the most powerful man in Chicago due to his political union and organized crime connections. Nice. Now, the Colts start feuding internally because some join opposing beer-running gangs during the Beer War. And they start shooting on each other. Beer war is, you know, just prohibition, alcohol, fighting. Yeah, beautiful. So in the late 20s, Reagan's Colts battled Capone's gang.

And at one point, Capone's men put a machine gun on a shed behind the, club and open fire. They were trying to kill Dynamite Joe, but Joe dove out a side window. Instead of crushing them, Capone was impressed by them and started hiring them as enforcers. That's so fucking awesome.

That is fucking, we need more of that. Shoot, Dynamite Joe. He jumped out of window. He survived. Give him a job application. I guess he's upkillable. What are you going to do? That's awesome.

He is quite a cunt. Hey, he's a bit of an April fools. Stop it. Like, we're literally the worst of the worst right now, but the C word is not cool. I got goosebumps. Don't say that again. That's a horrendous term. Capone hated the Irish and competed with a few Irish gangsters, including the O'Donnells.

And one Colts member owned a bar called a Pony Inn. And when Capone heard the O'Donnells were outside, he said, sent Hitman to take them out. But the O'Donnells were partying with assistant state's attorney William McSwiggin. McSwiggin was killed along with two others. The O'Donnell brothers escaped. When Capone's boss, Torio, the Rumzar, was shot by Irish gangster. Bring back the Rumzar.

So Torio So when Capone's boss Torio The Rumzar was shot by Irish gangster O'Banian's men Capone was rushed to the hospital And Frank is in a photo With Torio's wife Does he have any non-Nazi vibe stuff?

So Frank is in the photo with Torio's wife Who has been visiting her husband at the hospital And it says Frank owns the hospital so he's got to be fucking loaded at this point. Yeah, right. So the fractures in the cults increased and the violence does too, and on August 4th, 1927,

the last 12 members voted to end Reagan's cult club. And Frank begged people to remember all the good the club had done. Wow, yeah, really. Remember it. Remember it fondly. Quote, there was a rough element among the members, but there was also a help one. Many needy persons can testify to that. At one time, the cults numbered 3,000 when the U.S.

entered the World War, 1,100 Reagan Colts enlisted immediately. Nice. So the majority didn't. Yes. That's right. A third. Once out of prison, James went back into the news game. While bootjacking, he had worked under Mo Annenberg. Mo was now beginning a newspaper empire and the general news service was a big source of information about racetrack and other

gambling results and gangsters wanted control. And Moe bought in when it went up for sale. He called the service a social good. Quote, If people

wager at a race track, why should they be deprived of the right to do so? away from a track. Yeah, it's a sign of a functioning society. How many people can take time off from their jobs to go to a racetrack? That's right. I bring the racetrack to that. Now you can do it with an app on your phone.

Things are fine. Maybe we did one ad for it. We're sorry. Now we go into a Draft King's ad. Wow, I mean, that's so inconvenient for you, have to do it through something like that. But I get what he was saying. The convenience of being able to gamble from the comfort of your own home is something amazing. We're not saying you have to do it, as long as you do it responsibly.

That's something that's really important us here at the dollop. Then on every game each week, you could do parlays. Oh, you do parlays? Oh, my God, can you ever? And why not combine your fantasy league and put it in something like draft kings? That's a good idea. I know you have very little right now as society crumbles, but what if we cut that in half and made things a lot worse for you?

And gave you the burden of a secret and a nightmare in your pocket. Every time you go to the bathroom at work now, you can think about it. It's like a telltale heart, but with money. Draft King, circle the drain with us. All right, so James is out of jail, and Mo puts James in charge and starts to expand the wire. So they're taking over other ones across the country. They're using violence, and they're buying them out. And soon the general news service was the only racetrack and gambling wire service in the U.S.

and goes into Canada, Mexico. And Moe and James squeezed out. the other partners and they took control of the whole thing. But the partners brought in Capone and it looked like a gang war was going to break out over the wire. So they tried to lure James to switch sides.

Quote, if you come along with us, we will kill Moe in 24 hours. I like the guarantee. I love a guarantee. 25 hours is great. But Mo got protection in Miami and then he moved there. He's not going to do great there.

I'm calling it Moe Ami. The government eventually got Mo on income tax charges, and he went to prison in 1940. The racing wire was dismantled, but James quickly started the Continental Press Service, and that became the dominating race of wire the U.S. Chicago Moe wants to buy it, but he's not selling, so they're going to have to kill James. So James told a reporter friend that he experienced. expected to be taken out, and he requested FBI protection in return for information about the mob.

Despite naming top officials and companies, the FBI concluded they couldn't prosecute any of them, so they withdrew the protection. Oh, shit. So he fucking squealed, and they were like, yeah, we don't have a case. So, uh, good luck. Yeah, thanks for stopping by. That was great. But I, uh, I just told you everything that I ever knew.

Yeah. But I'm worried about my life now that I've done told you everything. They're definitely following me and watching me everywhere I go. Yeah. Don't keep saying yeah like that. Yeah. I got one of those cars with the four doors, but the two doors feel like one door. But when you open them, they're like saloon doors.

Those are the ones people always get shot through. That's what I'm saying. They're real easy. For some reason, it gives a maximum space to shoot someone through. I wish it was something to do for you, kid. I know more. What? I know more.

Okay. So, oh boy, I got a bunch of other details. Cool, we'll see you later. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Want to know what they're feeding their... Want to know what they have for dinner? Oh, yeah, okay. I don't know yet, but if I wear a wire, I could probably figure it out.

Yeah, it doesn't really help us. All right, what about breakfast? What about what they do for exercise? We don't need any of that. You told us all their crimes. Oh, yeah. Thank you. They're working with, um, uh, they got a...

Uh-huh. It's the Chinese. The fuck? I don't know. They're gonna kill me as soon as I leave. I know. I know. Can I live here?

No, no. Please. Let me sleep under your desk. I can just go on one of those doors. No, absolutely not. I sleep at out of my desk. Come home with you. What are you talking about?

I live with you. No, you won't. We'll be best friends. We're not best friends. Well, that sounds like an argument. Only two best friends would have. The hell out of here. Listen to us.

We're having another one of us. On June 24th, 1946, James was driving when a truck pulled alongside. Then the car in front of him stopped. Oh, such a bad sign. You're always like, ah, here we go.

And I mean, now if you drive into Chicago, you're like, this is driving. There's a truck and a car and I'm not moving. But back then, you were like, oh, shit, I'm about to die. James was shot in the arms and legs by a shotgun. Interesting choice. Who the fuck? How do you miss the torso? Oh, no.

Now I just, oh, no. It was hard. It shoots a bunch of pellets in a wide array. So all I could get was the arms. Don't worry, me and you, we could go to the alley. We're together. You're exactly what I'm after. It's me from the beginning.

You remember? No. Yeah. No, I don't. I think you were the little boy. No. Yeah. There wasn't me.

At the beginning, it was me. It was somebody else. No, but now that you've got, now you can't walk. First of all, how old are you at this point? You're already grown up back then. No, I'm 71, I'm fine, I'm fair. You don't sound 71. Every morning I've got, I have a banana.

And that's it. What? And once a day, I have a banana when I get. You eat a banana a day? Yeah. Now you'll come with me. No, now it's worse. I've saved our bucket.

No. Yeah. No. Let's combine. No. Come on. Combine what? It might not be too late to become pickpockets again.

What the fuck you're talking about? Like we did when you were a boy. I'm in a lot of debt. You're the Draft Kings. They're going to take my hands. What? Nothing. You worried that we've lost a sponsor?

Don't worry. Like Draft Kings? We already had to turn them down because people get mad at gambling. Oh, well, don't you think you're all special? The only sponsor we have left is the bucket sponsor. Oh, they're the best, though. Combinations buckets. So, about a month later, James, oh, wait, so he was in the hospital for a little bit. So he had a voucher.

Because he only got shot in arms and legs. Yeah. And that's an embarrassment to the mob that he's still alive and talking. Who shot? Who shot him? Yeah, who was the guy? He accused the mob. He said the mob.

Yeah, but who is just like, yeah, boss, we did it. We got him in the arms and the legs, just like you were. No, I said everywhere but the arms and legs. Oh shit, we had a hell of a miscommunication. Yeah, we did. He's still very much alive and able to do stuff. That's not what we wanted. Oh, boy.

Next time you should probably write it down. I literally drew a circle on the... Yeah, a circle of the no-hit zone. No! Oh, here we go. This is another one of our classic of miscommunication. You're a fucking hit man. Oh, come on now.

What a, hey, come on. You're an April fool! You're a real cunt. In August, he died from his wounds. Wow, I still got him. But an autopsy showed he had been poisoned by mercury. The planet? Planes.

so do you remember when I brought up the O'Brien's football team? Yes. They moved to normal park, and then they became the racing cardinals. Yep. And then they became the Chicago Cardinals. Oh, no. And then they became the St. Louis Cardinals. Oh, my God.

And today, they're the Arizona Cardinals. Oh. Who the Packers just beat. Let's go, Bears. Let's go. I can't believe how hard you just pandered, and it didn't even work. It didn't work. You pander-beard.

You guys are so. That is so amazing. That's how long your team. That's how long the team's been bad. They're like, I'm not starting to do. Now you're jumping, Chip. You just tried. Gotcha.

This is, I'm going to get this as a highlight. And play it for you when we're alone, you pathetic weirdo. Four and two, baby. I've never said anything bad about the bears and I never will. Four and two, baby. All right. The bears can be

Getting down on your knees and then not sucking a dick. you a little weirdo. Please, may I? And they were like, no. You are so rude. I revealed to people how horrible you are about the bears, which is totally unnecessary.

I said earlier watching a bear starve was one of the worst things I've ever seen. And yet they show up every Sunday for the same thing. I can't find it. Can't find what? He probably knows. I can't find it. I can't get my email here for that.
