Old News Nonsense Vol. 12 – Cats, Crimes, and Cucumber Chaos

Send us a text

Kai and J are back with another round of Old News Nonsense—and this volume brings you ghost cats, fashion rebellions, and a criminal with a thing for buggy cushions.

First, meet the cucumber-craving cat who turned down mice in favor of raiding the farm’s vegetable stash. Then saddle up with Grady Carothers, the reindeer-wrangling cowboy who made sure Santa’s sleigh team was holiday-ready.

Things take a spooky turn with Topsy the Ghost Cat, whose dramatic death—and even more dramatic resurrection—left mourners baffled. From there, we head to Lima, Ohio, where women ditched the skirt and claimed fashion freedom with the rise of the pantsuit.

George Hon’s criminal résumé includes escaping jail, selling the sheriff’s bloodhounds for five bucks, and stealing a buggy cushion—because why not? Meanwhile, racer Roger VanHorn proved big dreams can come in tiny cars, using his need for speed to help troubled youth.

To wrap things up, we revisit the wild world of New Year’s resolutions—both the earnest goals of children and the historic failures of adults who swore off cigars, bikes, and all things productive.

It’s witty, weird, and wonderfully nonsensical. Tune in for Old News Nonsense Vol. 12—because the past just keeps getting stranger.
