I've been following you guys since your Great War Series, (2014 --) and I'm firmly of the opinion that your body of work should be used by any Academic History teacher as a excellent example of how to "tell" (teach) History to the masses, (with the hope being that it doesn't repeat lessons that should have been learnt.) from the presentation and narration of macroscopic World events, national political events and natural events and their outcomes, right down to the big "events" that effect the 'man-in-the-street. .. Even down to the latest novelty, ice-cream on a stick, in today's episode. .. well done and many thanks.
6:00 "... treated with small amounts of the virus [sic]" -- not only is tuberculosis caused by bacteria, but your reference to "small amounts" of infectious agent being administered in vaccination is simply wrong; you were describing the practice of homeopathy, not vaccination! You repeatedly say "the virus" in reference to tuberculosis.
Guys... You should really edit the video. Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease and by calling it a virus You spread misinformation. Guess it might have been a simple slip of the tongue but, especially during a pandemic, I think it is really important to get your facts straight. Apart from that... Keep up the good work :)
No stock will ever be overvalued or undervalued, and any change in the price is but a reflection of that value. Therefore, the stock market will always behave rationally because all people who invest in stocks are rational and in no way influenced by emotion.
Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle got shafted. He was always funny, charming and sweet. Perhaps his best friend and favorite costar was Mabel Normand (also besmirched by a death, this time definitely a homicide. She was innocent. ) From his house in Santa Monica, on 4th Street, known as the Pink Elephant in the 1970s at least, she and Arbuckle would put on their swim suits, go down to the beach and swim to the Venice Pier and back. When I was about 4 years old I saw on TV clips of a Mack Sennett comedy where Normand and Arbuckle were sitting in a rowboat as the lake drained around them. They then flopped around in the mud. Never forgot it. Of course I didn't remember any names mentioned. Over 30 years later I was standing by Echo Park Lake and having just learned Mack Sennett Comedies studio was in the neighborhood (Gloria Swanson's house was on the hill behind me) I realized this was the very spot, not lake, spot. Somehow I'd remembered it enough to recognize I was at the camera position. I guess you'll get to Normand later. She died of tuberculosis in 1927.
It makes me SO happy that you said 'Vermin' and not insect, or bug when talking about The Metamorphosis! People always think that he's transformed into a bug, but no, Kafka never mentions what kind of a thing he is which makes it just that more weird. Thanks for that. It's something that like, 3 people will care about, but still!
@@jliller Oh yeah for sure. It's absolutely not unreasonable to do so. Plus there's a lot of imagery to suggest that: him crawling on the walls, being stuck on his back, etc. but it's never explicitly mentioned.
@@lazystalker1 if he was talking about a bit later where the guy points to a pop up and it doesn’t show ups then I get the joke. If it is that his timing is off.
Good to hear a mention of "the jungle" by Upton Sinclair 14:50. The novel is a harsh description of the conditions in the meat industry. However if it puts you off burgers instead of the conditions of the working poor maybe you get only part of the message. It is available as an audiobook right here on the youtube and I highly recommend it.
Actually his original intent was to elevate the plight of the mostly eastern european immigrants appalling working and living conditions. Unfortunately the public didnt get the message and instead selfishly focused on the unsanitary conditions of the meat industry instead, which led to calls for, and led to food safety legislation, I think even the creation of the FDA, if I recall correctly
TB really was a scourge in the first half of the 20th century. Both my grandmothers died of TB in the 1930s in England. My father (who's mother died when he was 15) contracted it after a fall from his uncle's shoulders at the zoo when he was a toddler. Instead of infecting his lungs, it got into his hip and also damaged his thigh bone. He was operated on and recovered. I learned from the Mantoux test for TB I had at primary school later on here in Oz, that I had too been exposed to TB, but am naturally immune.
at 6:44 my heart stopped for a second, because I never imagined Indy talking about my small home town in northern Germany. Dont mind that he mentioned dying babies, hey that happens :)
White Castle is by far the best fast food to reheat and then eat later. If any of you ever go there buy more then you plan to eat and then just reheat the burgers in the microwave for 30-60 seconds and they taste just as good reheated I think. The jalapeno cheese burgers they have are great. I brought White Castle into work one day because a friend of mine I worked with said she had never tired it before and was able to order 300 of them for the whole office for so cheap. They sell the burgers in boxes of 50-100 and you can get all kinds of different burgers in the boxes. For those of you who don't know the burgers at White Castle are very small (they are sliders) so you can eat way more of them then a normal size burger from like McDonalds.
I want to go to White Castle now. I would bring that into the office tomorrow for work if we were working in the office again yet. Sadly we are still working from home.
One of the best TimeGhost videos ever made (at least, so far)!!!! All the legendary events and people I read about once upon the time in one episode! I feel so spoiled! Thank you so much!!!
0:00 The set for the interwar period has gotta be the best looking set out of all the Indy Neidell history videos. The vintage style paintings, the bright colors of the room, the props, etc. I'm not sure what the style of the set is, Art Deco with a bit of Art Nouveau maybe? Regardless it looks great and fits the topic of the videos perfectly.
Around here in Czechia, we take a small vanilla ice cream block, put a biscuit on each side and call it the Russian ice cream. Interesting side note: it doesn't contain any alcohol.
I was looking forward to this episode for the Roscoe Arbuckle scandal. I’m a big fan of silent film slapstick comedy and think it’s ridiculous that Arbuckle had his life ruined despite being innocent.
Your digression into gastronomical wonders gives me ideas for future TimeGhost subseries... will we ever see one about the development and evolution of pizza delivery services?
There should be a public holiday one day a year for all the wonderful work the pizza delivery service has done for society, ... but .. that pizza ain't gonna deliver itself.
I had to wear a tie while working at a lab every day for two years. To put it short: I hate them, but I've kept that whole "Oh, let's check how this tie looks" thing somewhere in my brain. Indy rocks every single one of them. Every. Single. One.
It's absolutely incredible how many dozens of millions of Russia's/USSR's citizens died during the WW1, Russian Civil War, the post war famines, purges of 1930s, Holodomor and WW2. If these tragedies didn't happen, Russia would be an absolute powerhouse during the 20th century.
Tubercolosis was strong in Austria until after WWII. I wonder, as a vaccine exists, could it be eradicated like the smallpox? I am still in awe, how the WHO and the world put in such an effort to eliminate one of the historys deadliest diseases in the 60s and 70s. Tubercolosis would be very high on my list as the next disease worth such a concerted effort.
The WHO has set a goal of ending the epidemic by 2030. Previously they also set a number of goals for 2015, few of which were achieved. They said this was mainly due to tangible commitments not being followed through on by state governments. We'll see what happens in 2030.
No it can’t. First up the BCG vaccine isn’t that effective only preventing a fairly small proportion of infections (which is why it is no longer in routine use in the UK but is only used for high risk people) far better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick but not capable of eliminating the pathogen as was done with small pox and as is being done with polio. Secondly there are significant animal reservoirs, particularly cattle (hence the importance of pasteurising milk) and finally the current epidemic is exacerbated by comorbidity with HIV where vaccination is ineffective because of the underlying immune suppression. Getting case numbers down is possible but elimination small pox style is not and the BCG vaccine won’t reduce case numbers alone, long course antibiotic treatments taken to conclusion and antiretrovirals are also needed.
Indy & crew, if I never told you before that I love your shows, well this Between Two Wars II episode offers me the reason to say it again! Hurray! Cheers!
There used to be a White Castle near where I live, but it was another casualty of the Pandemic, closing last summer. White Castle sliders & Eskimo...I mean Edie's Pies. It's about time for lunch here!
In the South we have Krystal's. Basically White Castle with too much mustard. And also best enjoyed after midnight with an elevated blood alcohol level.
Interesting how there's a knockoff in the South, we don't have any over here in the West coast. Closest one is 200 miles away in AZ. Not sure if it's worth it...
5:51 Interestingly, Spain and France developed similar vaccines at the same time, in fact soon after, the Spanish scientist (Bálmez) which worked on his own version took part on a state-funded expedition that was to propagate vaccination through the colonies of the Spanish kingdom, the "Real Expedición de la Vacuna" (Royal Vaccine Expedition), also known as the Bálmez Expedition.
You remind me of Harry and his brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl and the anything for a buck business they started. Your tie auctions reminded me of that little bit of 1980's comedy gold.
Man the "good" old days of credible journalism sure seems like the same defamatory claims of today's newspapers. Newspapers do deserve to go out of business.
There are still many independent newspapers worthy of the name all over the world, that hold to journalistic principles. Support them, they are in danger of dying out. As they say, you get what you pay for.
Getting my vac shots in the Army was hilarious, 4 nurses, big male nurses strap you down and give you 6 in each arm LOL One guy in my platoon passed out in line watching and split his head open, 150+ stitches!
When I lived in Spanish Harlem circa 2004, there was a White Castle a block from my apartment on East 104th Street. I was pleased last week to see it still exists today; open 24hours. The burgers are really greasy, tiny, and cheap...but what you save in money, you pay for sitting on the toilet shortly after. PS: I would love if they still wore white uniforms.
A bit of an oddity about the word Eskimo: The scholarly consensus on its etymology is that it means "a person who laces a snowshoe." However, some thought it meant "eater of raw meat" because of a similar-sounding word from the same language group. This idea has been largely discredited and considered inaccurate and the word hasn't ever been popularly used as a slur or to mean offense. However, some people think it's offensive and so, not wanting to deal with the public backlash, Eskimo Pies are rebranded as Edy's Pies. I think the moral of the story is that words are what the users decide they are. I don't think we should go out and try to make words offensive, rather the opposite because offensive words can be used for evil while mundane cannot, but I'm also not in charge of language. But, the other moral is that sometimes it's better to just avoid backlash than to try to push something that doesn't really matter and risk ostracizing your consumer base.
Great video as usual. Speaking of neckties, I see you're still not tying yours correctly for the period. They appear to be very wide, more to the late '40s-50's period. :)
TB is an excellent possibility for the transformation of Gregor Samsa. The changes in his chest and the revoltion that peopel have for the TB sufferers phelgm just disgusting effluviaum and of course the fact that the sick person is going to kill you makes the TB patient if not public enemy #1 someone that is hidden away like Gregor Samsa. I have no idea why this is not the center of discussion of Metamorphosis. Oh course it helps to have an MD degree, a childhood case of TB and a pandemic year; I did reach my conclusion about Gregor a decade ago.
For you Brooklyners, it may have been White Castle; in Knoxville, it was the Krystal. Their burgers cost 13 cents in 1970. They were square because the hamburger patty was the size of the griddle. Once fried, this was flipped on a bun of the same size and cut into aspirin-tablet-sized, SQUARE burgers. But don't knock the Krystal. For those of us studying or writing on our theses, a 4 AM visit to the Krystal for their WAFFLES was the sugar-shock that kept us going!
Grew up in Brooklyn but haven’t been back there in 5 years. The last White Castle left in Brooklyn is on Fort Hamilton Pkwy and New Utrecht Ave, unless that’s gone as well. We called ‘em “Belly Bombers” and “ Murder Burgers.” Since they were open 24 hours, nothing better at 3am after a night out bar-hopping. 🤣
Ongoing war? The drought that year wasn't any worse than the years when the monarchist were in power like in 1910, 1911. It's more likely that everyone had their food requisitioned for the war effort, you can tell because the bodies of soldiers are always healthy looking during that time.
Wnite Castles are a true delicacy. They are not unavaialble just in Europe, but in the American South as well. There is a uncouth imitatator called Krystal's, but they can't compete. Being a 24/7/365 restaurant, I have too many memories of wolfing down a sack of cheeseburgers at 3:00am, after a long night of overingulgence in alcohol. Plus you never knew who might show up at that hour. White Castle was a great equalizer of all men and women. 🍔🍔🍔 🍔🍔🍔
As a Prague citizen, I highly appreciate that Franz Kafka was mentioned. His popularity spans the globe but too much unfortunately. Every time I go to the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague I see bunch of milennials (mostly Asians) without a mandatory yarmulka taking infantile selfies at his grave.
How do you know all this s***? Do you have perfect recall? I'm impressed by the continuity between videos within a given series and between series. Do you have an army of researchers? Do you come up with a script that you loosely follow?
Excellent work guys! Even tough, time and again your team confuses between Russians and Ukrainians. It hurts a Ukrainian fan, like myself. However, you are not just great, but in fact improving your coverage. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words. Differentiating between Russian and other nationalities in the Soviet Union is something we're actually pretty strict on so can you point out where we confused it here? Indy says "Soviet Russia" because the Soviet Union didn't exist yet. Names like "All-Russian Famine Relief Committee" were made by the Soviet government, not us.
@@TimeGhost Thank you for the swift reply, I don't have a habit of taking offense at speech, thus I do suspect my comment under the current video is a cumulative one, where i respond to a number of episodes, rather then the particular - current one. My apologies for that. I do understand my error in doing so. In the future I will curb my dislike of taking offense at every word, and shall try and find a way to be specific in my critical comments. Thank you again, and do keep up your great work.
No need to apologize. It gets pretty confusing before 1922/1923 because there was no "Soviet Union", just various different Soviet/Bolshevik/Communist states all kind of controlled by Soviet Russia.
@@TimeGhost Thank you for the response. While I also do see how you reply is being fair to my initial criticism, I do see an issue with the dating the issue to the 1922\23. For instance, the Russian civil war vs the first Russian-Ukrainian war between Russia & later Russian Federation with UNR, the Polish-Ukrainian war, and the cooperation, and animosity between the second Polish republic and UNR. As a note, only according to Soviet historiography UNR existed between 1918 and 1921. This short period has become a fundamental component of the modern Ukrainian self determination movement. Ukrainian state - UNR, has been a part to creating, and dismantlement the union known as USSR in 1991.

Fatty Arbuckle: Victim Zero of the Cancel Culture.

about 20 years ago on bell blvd they built a new white castle next to the old one. i so wanted to make some kind of reenactor mid evil kind of thing

Thank you for moving flower to the side of green lady
Best channel on the Tube
Thank you
5:51 Interestingly, Spain and France developed similar vaccines at the same time, in fact soon after, the Spanish scientist (Bálmez) which worked on his own version took part on a state-funded expedition that was to propagate vaccination through the colonies of the Spanish kingdom, the "Real Expedición de la Vacuna" (Royal Vaccine Expedition), also known as the Bálmez Expedition.
You remind me of Harry and his brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl and the anything for a buck business they started. Your tie auctions reminded me of that little bit of 1980's comedy gold.
It's Larry, not Harry
38, still never had a slider or White Castle :( I don't think there are any here in Canada.
No but if you jump across the bridges at Sarnia, Windsor or Niagara Falls Ont you can get them easy enough.
Best ending to your videos yet!
Thank you Kyle
Why do White Castle burgers have 5 holes? That's how many shots it took to kill the rat!
🤣🤣🤣
Man the "good" old days of credible journalism sure seems like the same defamatory claims of today's newspapers. Newspapers do deserve to go out of business.
NEWSpapers not, yellow press for sure. Unfortunately, there aren't any newspapers left already, so you got your wish.
There are still many independent newspapers worthy of the name all over the world, that hold to journalistic principles.
Support them, they are in danger of dying out.
As they say, you get what you pay for.
Its all psychology, making you angry or outrages gets your attention yellow press and some professional journalists bank on it
What are those 2 large paintings behind you?
Getting my vac shots in the Army was hilarious, 4 nurses, big male nurses strap you down and give you 6 in each arm LOL One guy in my platoon passed out in line watching and split his head open, 150+ stitches!
When I lived in Spanish Harlem circa 2004, there was a White Castle a block from my apartment on East 104th Street. I was pleased last week to see it still exists today; open 24hours. The burgers are really greasy, tiny, and cheap...but what you save in money, you pay for sitting on the toilet shortly after. PS: I would love if they still wore white uniforms.
Part of the mystique
A bit of an oddity about the word Eskimo:
The scholarly consensus on its etymology is that it means "a person who laces a snowshoe." However, some thought it meant "eater of raw meat" because of a similar-sounding word from the same language group. This idea has been largely discredited and considered inaccurate and the word hasn't ever been popularly used as a slur or to mean offense. However, some people think it's offensive and so, not wanting to deal with the public backlash, Eskimo Pies are rebranded as Edy's Pies.
I think the moral of the story is that words are what the users decide they are. I don't think we should go out and try to make words offensive, rather the opposite because offensive words can be used for evil while mundane cannot, but I'm also not in charge of language. But, the other moral is that sometimes it's better to just avoid backlash than to try to push something that doesn't really matter and risk ostracizing your consumer base.
TimeGhost on the Road:
Storming White Castle!
"Shooting up like a good fungus!"
Indy - you rock.😆🎵🎶🎵
Ah, White Castle "hamburgers". Great at 2:30AM after a night of drinking and carousing and the best was that you enjoyed the taste all day.
Thank you for these videos. It helps me to better understand the present.
Your Welcome Lucas, hope to see you in our future episodes.
Awesome ending!
Great video
Great video as usual. Speaking of neckties, I see you're still not tying yours correctly for the period. They appear to be very wide, more to the late '40s-50's period. :)
I miss White Castle too. I get the large box of frozen WC sliders for snacks when watching sci-fi or history shows.
Speaking of this zeitgeist, remember a french book with title translate in italian Corpi e Anime pubblishing during in 2ww.
Arent there any student budget friendly ties?
Pure red colour, pure yellow colour, pure blue colour... That is some top notch art!
Then I do art daily.
Love White Castles, but it's all Krystal's around here (east TN). Never thought I'd hear them brought up here.
Excuse me, sir. Will the stuff about White Castle be on the test?
Indy if the youtuber thing doesn't work out based on your tie sale pitch you'd be a bang up used car salesman in middle America.
Can't you have frozen White Castle sliders shipped over?
TB is an excellent possibility for the transformation of Gregor Samsa. The changes in his chest and the revoltion that peopel have for the TB sufferers phelgm just disgusting effluviaum and of course the fact that the sick person is going to kill you makes the TB patient if not public enemy #1 someone that is hidden away like Gregor Samsa.
I have no idea why this is not the center of discussion of Metamorphosis. Oh course it helps to have an MD degree, a childhood case of TB and a pandemic year; I did reach my conclusion about Gregor a decade ago.
Hey, that desk...it didn't wobble!
But the world war two desk earlier today, did.
I'm gonna up my subscription just to see more Indy hand explosions.
For you Brooklyners, it may have been White Castle; in Knoxville, it was the Krystal. Their burgers cost 13 cents in 1970. They were square because the hamburger patty was the size of the griddle. Once fried, this was flipped on a bun of the same size and cut into aspirin-tablet-sized, SQUARE burgers. But don't knock the Krystal. For those of us studying or writing on our theses, a 4 AM visit to the Krystal for their WAFFLES was the sugar-shock that kept us going!
Having lived in both the North and South, I can attest that Krystal's are but poor imitations.
@@lapurta22 I haven't lived near a White Castle in the North, but, yeah, you're probably right.
But how was the stonk market doing?
Indy looks like he could be related to William Randolph Hearst.
Some things never change.
Though you did state that Tuberculosis was a bacteria, you proceeded to call it a virus several times afterwards.
I just knew you had a Southern drawl in your somewhere Indy! 😎
Indy, you're the best.
great show
Grew up in Brooklyn but haven’t been back there in 5 years. The last White Castle left in Brooklyn is on Fort Hamilton Pkwy and New Utrecht Ave, unless that’s gone as well. We called ‘em “Belly Bombers” and “ Murder Burgers.” Since they were open 24 hours, nothing better at 3am after a night out bar-hopping. 🤣
Ongoing war? The drought that year wasn't any worse than the years when the monarchist were in power like in 1910, 1911.
It's more likely that everyone had their food requisitioned for the war effort, you can tell because the bodies of soldiers are always healthy looking during that time.
To prevent and to a degree treat TB drink ginger tea with lemon and drink Elderberry syrup and take usual Vitamin D and balanced diet with citrus!
Wnite Castles are a true delicacy. They are not unavaialble just in Europe, but in the American South as well. There is a uncouth imitatator called Krystal's, but they can't compete.
Being a 24/7/365 restaurant, I have too many memories of wolfing down a sack of cheeseburgers at 3:00am, after a long night of overingulgence in alcohol. Plus you never knew who might show up at that hour. White Castle was a great equalizer of all men and women. 🍔🍔🍔 🍔🍔🍔
I love how the tangent
Have you or do you plan to do more on the Ukrainien famine and how it came to be?
If you are talking about the Holodomor then they've already covered that in an episode
We made a video on that in 2019 which you can watch here: ua-cam.com/video/mZoUioqlZEs/v-deo.html
As a Prague citizen, I highly appreciate that Franz Kafka was mentioned. His popularity spans the globe but too much unfortunately. Every time I go to the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague I see bunch of milennials (mostly Asians) without a mandatory yarmulka taking infantile selfies at his grave.
We should pare this with Glen and Friends historic cocktails
you made a mistake at 6:28 its not a virus its a bacterium
A) What's the drink? B) Virginia "General" Assembly
How do you know all this s***? Do you have perfect recall? I'm impressed by the continuity between videos within a given series and between series. Do you have an army of researchers? Do you come up with a script that you loosely follow?
Sound quality has been varying a lot recently in the videos.
I wonder why they renamed Eskimo Pie in 2020
Excellent work guys! Even tough, time and again your team confuses between Russians and Ukrainians. It hurts a Ukrainian fan, like myself. However, you are not just great, but in fact improving your coverage. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words. Differentiating between Russian and other nationalities in the Soviet Union is something we're actually pretty strict on so can you point out where we confused it here? Indy says "Soviet Russia" because the Soviet Union didn't exist yet. Names like "All-Russian Famine Relief Committee" were made by the Soviet government, not us.
@@TimeGhost Thank you for the swift reply, I don't have a habit of taking offense at speech, thus I do suspect my comment under the current video is a cumulative one, where i respond to a number of episodes, rather then the particular - current one. My apologies for that. I do understand my error in doing so. In the future I will curb my dislike of taking offense at every word, and shall try and find a way to be specific in my critical comments. Thank you again, and do keep up your great work.
No need to apologize. It gets pretty confusing before 1922/1923 because there was no "Soviet Union", just various different Soviet/Bolshevik/Communist states all kind of controlled by Soviet Russia.
@@TimeGhost Thank you for the response. While I also do see how you reply is being fair to my initial criticism, I do see an issue with the dating the issue to the 1922\23. For instance, the Russian civil war vs the first Russian-Ukrainian war between Russia & later Russian Federation with UNR, the Polish-Ukrainian war, and the cooperation, and animosity between the second Polish republic and UNR. As a note, only according to Soviet historiography UNR existed between 1918 and 1921. This short period has become a fundamental component of the modern Ukrainian self determination movement. Ukrainian state - UNR, has been a part to creating, and dismantlement the union known as USSR in 1991.
