Jim wraps up with an ode to the retirement of Philadelphia Eagles great Jason Kelce, asking who could be the next Packers player to retire with the team after playing their entire career in Green Bay?

Samatha joined The Cabin remotely from her RV in Wyoming, where she found a restaurant offering “Wisconsin Cheese Curds” and they offered a side of honey, kicking off a conversation about dips for curds. Marinara and ranch are two of the most popular, but many variations exist; some add spices like Spanish Paprika, others offer aioli blends including a Bloody Mary aioli at Copper State Brewing in Green Bay. Some go sweeter with jam variations, others with more savory sauces. They all pair quite well - we all know how versatile cheese is! From there, the conversation delved into locations where you can find some of the best curds. Eric, Ana, and Samatha discussed some of their favorite fresh curds - often right from the factory - as well as fried curds across the state that are worth the trip. Highlights include cheese factories offering their curds fresh from Ellsworth - Wisconsin's “Cheese Curd Capital” to Watertown with Kraemer Cheese with spots in between from Door County to the Driftless. Curds offering up in restaurants and select bars - usually fried, but not always - are listed by all three. Cheddar curds from places like Merchant and The Old Fashioned in Madison, Guu's in Stevens Point, Courthouse Pub in Manitowoc, Parker John's BBQ (where they blend chives and garlic into the batter), Bavette and Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee, and many, many more. Curds are usually cheddar, but Muenster works well, such as at Sconnie's in Schofield, Even curds made with goat cheese get a salute, with the ones at La Merenda in Milwaukee; their goat cheese curds are also served with Tia Paquita chorizo cream sauce. The variations are many, but all are delicious. Join us for the full list in this episode!Inside Sponsors:Best Western (Region #5 - Central) https://bit.ly/3zCCK3fHo-Chunk Nation https://bit.ly/3l2Cfru

Jesse Goldberg-Strassler and Kevin Reichard discuss the opening week of the MLB season and a visit to American Family Field, home of the Brewers, in this week’s Ballpark Digest Broadcaster Chat.Being able to watch baseball virtually all day has been a boon to fans—begin with the afternoon matinees and end with the late-night West Coast matches. And as a bonus fans have been allowed into ballparks across the MLB board. The home of the Milwaukee Brewers, American Family Field hosted games to start the 2021 MLB season with limited capacity and concessions offerings. Despite that, fans seemed to follow the rules regarding mask usage and staying in their seats, and there was a festive atmosphere. (You can read the story about the visit here.) Some teams are just opening the doors in relief, while others are treating it as a typical year with new food offerings and promos. (The Brewers’ fans seemed content with the Sconnie basics: beers and brats.) Other topics of discussion after the first week of play: How striking Shohei Ohtani is when healthy, why the Mets are playing better, and how this season will be a season of change, as capacity limitations and operating restrictions are regularly revisited.The Baseball Thesaurus term of the week didn’t come from the book, but rather a phrase attributed first to former player and manager Dusty Baker: a “one-hand Fred,” describing a swing where the batter is fooled, the top hand flies off, and he ends up following through with only one hand on the bat. Many times, a one-hand Fred turns into a whiff, but sometimes there’s limited contact and, in the case of Ruben Sierra, can lead to an amazing homer.Jesse Goldberg-Strassler is the Voice of the Lansing Lugnuts and the author of The Baseball Thesaurus and The Football Thesaurus from August Publications.  Kevin Reichard is publisher at August Publications and Ballpark Digest.

Content note: discussion of ableism/sanism, forced medical procedures, the fucking patriarchy Welcome to the Spooky Sconnie podcast, the show that talks about the spooky, paranormal, criminal, and just plain odd Badger State. While we're known for sportsball and food, there's a lot more to learn about Wisconsin if you know where to look. In this first episode, I cover St. Coletta's School in Jefferson, Wisconsin, lobotomies, and the Kennedy family. Further reading History according to the school JFK Library link about Rosemary First-hand accounts about lobotomies including history Movie link on IMDB Transcript You're listening to the Spooky Sconnie Podcast. I'm your host Kirsten Schultz. I have lived in Wisconsin for 12 years now and one of the things that always surprises me and that has pushed me to create this podcast is when we talk about odd things, creepy things, paranormal things, there are only a few things that people think about when they think about Wisconsin and usually quite frankly it's Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer, and as creepy as those two motherfuckers are, there is so much more to this state then either have them or beer or cheese or the packers. And that's really what I want to talk about on this podcast. We'll touch on things from aliens to cryptids to plain odd facts to haunted towns, to serial killers and true crime. It will be a really fun journey and I'm really excited that you're listening. I hope this is something that you'll wind up liking and subscribing to, to kind of break with the traditional podcast thing. ----more---- Um, I do just want to list kind of my social media at the top of the show in case you want to peek around. The twitter is at SpookySconnie - that's s-p-o-o-k-y-s-c-o-n-n-i-e and our instagram is SpookySconniePodcast, so just pop the name of the podcast in there and the facebook page is also SpookySconniePodcast. So, hopefully that makes it easy for you to find. I think that's all the social media I've got set up right now. If you have creepy Sconnie stories you want to send in, you can send them in at SpookySconniePodcast@gmail.com. And I will eventually work on doing some listeners episodes, um, with this being the first episode of the podcast and want to do something like super creepy or super terrifying. But I wanted to do something I was really interested in. And um, as someone who lives with a number of chronic illnesses and deals with mental health issues, something that I was surprised to learn recently was that Rosemary Kennedy, lived in Wisconsin for the bulk of her life and that has to do with a place called St Coletta's in Jefferson. Jefferson is a city that's about halfway between Madison and Milwaukee. Madison is our capital, uh, and where the Wisconsin badgers reside and where I reside, and Milwaukee is probably the most well known Wisconsin city. It sits on the West Bank of Lake Michigan and um, that's where Jeffrey Dahmer played around. So... Some very different spaces as well, geographically, Milwaukee's very flat. Um, the, the glaciers back in the glacier moving era of the world, um, moved through that area pretty quickly. So there's a lot of flat land, whereas the further west you move in Wisconsin, you actually get to what is known as the driftless area where the glaciers didn't move through. And so I'm in Madison and, west of here, we have a lot of rolling hills and things like that. Jefferson is, I would say it where it starts to get a little hilly, um, but not enough to where you're like, whew, rollercoaster on the road. Jefferson's founders were settlers from New England and they really came during the 1800s. So it was while New England farmers were headed west into what was known as the wild kind of northwest territory. So what we're looking at are usually second generation or first, like, American-born generation, uh, you know, settlers who came, colonized this country and then started their movement westward when they came to Jefferson. It was basically forest and prairie and they started building farms and roads and government buildings and everything we kind of take for granted today. They really set themselves up as a, a place for education, a place for good schools, a place for abolitionism. Um, and it was relatively religious. We're looking at Episcopalians, we're looking at methodists. We're looking at baptist. Um, and that's, that's pretty par for the course when you're looking at people who came from New England in the 1800s. Uh, the school I'm going to talk about is called St Coletta. Um, it still kind of operates? It's In this interesting state at the time, and we'll get to that later, but I do want to address really quickly that the school was a school for the developmentally disabled. So if you do look it up, you may find the r word. You may find other ableist slurs, slurs, that are rooted in the discrimination against disabled people. And as a disabled person, I'm not going to use those because they piss me off and make you want to slap someone and I'm by myself. So I'd really like to not slap myself. So, um, you know, you're, you're welcome to look it up and, uh, take a look at other things and I'll put some links in the show notes, but this is not necessarily an investigation for the faint of heart when it comes to a discriminatory ideas. In 1904, a family approached Father George Meyer, who ran a school called St Coletta about accepting their developmentally disabled daughter as a student, uh, by September that year, four students had arrived and by December that grew to 10 students, which also included boys. So it very quickly became a coed school. Technically the school is organized by the sisters of St Francis Assisi, which is the, um, you know, religious chapter that was right there. The property immediately east of the city was purchased because the existing convent in school for girls that was operated by the nuns. By the early 20th century, a large campus with residence halls, chapels, an infirmary, administration building, classrooms, and even a natatorium occupied the southeast corner of highway 18 and county road Y in Jefferson? And technically this was in the town of Jefferson. It then became annexed to the city of Jefferson. A lot of places that have been settled had both the town and the city by the same name. In fact, actually Madison has both the town and the city and the town is only a few spots. There's actually one spot over here on the west side where I live that is still technically a town spot Most of the town is kind of in that, um, off of fish hatchery and um, oh, what's the other road? It starts with an R. I can't remember even though I lived off of it. It's fine. This is what happens when you have what we call brain fog. Um, which is something that you deal with, with chronic illness, it's like a, like a cognitive delay. So sometimes I might use the wrong word even though I know the correct one or it might not be able to find the information I'm looking for in my head. Rimrock. That was it. So it's a predominantly kind of the south part of Madison is technically town, which is fascinating to me. Um, by 1931, the 'St Coletta Institute for backward youth' as what it was called, became incorporated under a new title called the 'St Coletta School for exceptional children', which was chosen out of the consideration of parents, family members and residents. Um, and, and the myth at least is that one of the students, residents brought up, "hey, we don't walk backward, we're not backward youth." And, and while the change was good, backward youth is an awful term. Exceptional children is a bit inspiration porn-y, and I'll put a link in the show notes to Stella Young's talk about inspiration porn. She coined that term in a Ted talk and in writing before her death. And, um, there's so many layers of nuance to it that I'm not going to get into it here, but I highly suggest you look at it. Uh, we're just normal people, like anyone who's disabled in any way is just a normal person. We're not exceptional people for existing - that's kind of the cut and dry of it. And so they quickly became the most influential Catholic school in the United States that specialized in the care and training of people with developmental and mental disabilities or illnesses by 1948. Um, you know, they were expanding and building new new homes, new buildings, and really amassing a very large amount of residents by in 1963. This is, I'm going to just say this, knowing that I prefaced that there was the R word. I hate this so much. The first international awards for achievement in the field of mental retardation (Jesus Christ) which was sponsored by the Joseph P Kennedy Jr. Foundation was attended by, um, some of the sisters at the school. They started a habilitation program in 1965 that was started to encourage young adults to become more successful community members. and by 1976, a public law was passed that guaranteed a free appropriate education in the least restrictive environment for these residents - particularly focused on anyone with a disability, but, uh, it really affected these residents in a positive way. The Kennedy Foundation, um, gave a gift to the school, um, in honor of Rose Kennedy's 93rd birthday that was to help create a program that would eventually serve as a national model to help, um, aging people who were dealing with developmental disabilities. Now there's more that goes on with the school, but that's really kind of where our big, um, the most important part that we need to know stops. As I said, the school's kind of still running programs. Um, they kind of got rid of their main building and renovated it to, um, to be a corporate headquarters and all sorts of things they've expanded to not only helping people across Wisconsin, but now in like northern Illinois, all these different things. While important - and definitely, um, interesting to learn - don't really have to do with what we're going to talk about and you may have mentioned or you may have noticed that I mentioned several times, uh, the Kennedys and I mentioned Rosemary Kennedy at the top of the show. Rosemary Kennedy is the sister of JFK and RFK, and she was born in September 1918 - on the 13th in fact - and she was the third child and oldest daughter. They quickly noticed that she was a little bit slower to reach some of the youth milestones than her brothers were. So learning how to walk, learning how to crawl, speaking some of those kinds of things. She was just a little bit slower to reach those milestones. and, um, it doesn't really, when you, when you look at pediatric care now, there are some, um, mile stone kind of trackers almost that will help you decide with your physician, with your child's physician if the child should be tested for any sort of developmental delay or disability. Um, and they come at a number of different benchmark ages, you know, six months, a year, 18 months, two years, all sorts of things and they actually continue into young, young childhood and not just being a toddler, so that can be a really helpful for people. At this point, those weren't really developed. Um, but you hear a lot about, oh, parents notice that this person was just not as quick to do stuff. And I do want to say that that's not always a marker of um, you know, any sort of disability. My husband is a, was a very lazy baby and so he didn't really walk until he was like a year old because he knew if he cried, someone would come pick them up. So it's not always a marker of disability, but it is something that you could work with your child's doctor to, to keep an eye on 'em. We don't all follow the same growth patterns and some of us maybe learned to be a little bit more manipulative than others as we're children. Rosemary had a really nice childhood. She participated in most of the family activities, going to dances, concerts, visiting the White House when Roosevelt was there. Um, her father was appointed us ambassador to Britain in 1938 and Rosemary moved over to London with her mother and her sister Kathleen, and they just really enjoyed living there. When they came back in 1940, Rosemary was not making the progress that they wanted her to be making. Um, she was 22 at the time and she was becoming 'increasingly irritable and difficult.' And, unfortunately that is, um, about the time when Joseph Kennedy learned about lobotomies. Now I want to go into the history of lobotomies before we kind of continue on this because I'm a really big proponent of learning, uh, about what we're talking about. And lobotomies are terrifying. There are a lot of jokes that people make about lobotomies like, "oh, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy." And I think once you learn the history of these kinds of things, how harmful they were, how harmful they still remain. Um, it's really terrifying. And it's not something I feel like we should be joking about, but that's just me. And you can make your up your mind up after you hear about these facts. In 1936, a psychiatrist named Walter J. Freeman modified a leucotomy, a surgery that a portuguese neurologist, Egas Monez created to treat mental illness. He renamed it the lobotomy. And with his neurosurgeon partner James Watts, they performed the first ever pre frontal lobotomy in the United States on a housewife from Topeka, Kansas, Alice Hood Hammatt. In 1945, Freeman begins experimenting with a new way of doing the lobotomy after hearing about a doctor in Italy who accessed the brain through ice sockets. By January of the next year, he's performed his first trans orbital lobotomy. Um, this is also called an icepick lobotomy. His patient at the time was a depressed housewife named Sallie Ellen Ionesco. He rendered her unconscious through electric shock, something that's terrifying in and of itself. He then took an ice pick and inserted it above her eyeball, but closer in towards her nose. He banged through her eye socket and into her brain by using a, like a little mallet on the other end of that ice pick. And he made cuts in her frontal lobes. When he was done, he sent her home in a taxi cab of all things just by herself. He was convinced that he had cured her depression and he believed that cutting away the brain would help regulate mental illness because he thought mental illness was related to overactive emotions. And of course, cutting away your brain is the solution to overactive emotions. These kinds of things were really common, um, before the medications that we have now came to be, um, institutions were overfilled with not only people who were developmentally and physically disabled, but women who had the nerve to speak up, speak back to their husbands and those who tried to vote and those who read too much and those who are dealing with vaginal pain and a number of things could get you landed in an institution and labeled as insane. Um, there's a lot of racism involved and misogyny and discrimination against all sorts of people, including queer and trans people that happened in institutions and within the field of, I guess institutional torture, including lobotomies, including electro shock, um, and more, unfortunately, which is terrifying. And I think, um, being someone who is disabled, queer and trans, that terrifies the shit out of me because that is, you know, the history of my people and um, that's terrifying. It's terrifying. But, these kinds of miracle cures that really served to shut patients up and make them how we wanted them to be, um, was, was really what happens. And even today, um, that still happens with ABA therapy for autistic people. Um, that's really geared at "here, here are the skills you have to learn right now to be as normal and allistic (the opposite of autistic) as possible." Um, and that's not a way to go through life. I've tried it for chronic illness shit - it doesn't work. In the prefrontal lobotomy - because there's the difference between these two lobotomies - The doctor actually drilled holes in the side or the top of the patient's skull, you know, through, through the actual bone itself to get to the frontal lobes. And so it can be messy. It takes more time. In the transorbital lobotomy, you could actually just access the brain through the eye sockets, as I mentioned a bit ago, um, and Freeman really kind of created what we know as the transorbital lobotomy today. It left no scars apart from having terrible black eyes, as you can imagine. It took less than 10 minutes and it could be performed outside of an operating room. And Freeman believed it produced better results. Uh, in 1949 Egas Monez - the portuguese neurologist - wins the nobel prize for developing the lobotomy and Freeman nominated him. It was about this time that James Watts - Freeman's partner - expresses disapproval about the procedure and basically leaves the practice. He's done. Um, and at this point, Freeman's career really takes off. He does these like nationwide tours teaching at different state hospitals and institutions how to perform lobotomies and, by 1952 he performs or in that year, I'm sorry, he performs 228 transorbital lobotomies within a two week period in West Virginia. It was for a state sponsored lobotomy project that was called Operation Ice Pick. And it was a huge thing for him. Uh, newspapers and news agencies were flipping their shit to be there and see him 'cure', you know, people. Two years later though, a medication called chlorpromazine or thorazine as it's more commonly known, comes out and actually helps treat a lot of the conditions that these lobotomies were supposed to fix. The medication itself has a really interesting history. It actually came about because of a french pharmaceutical company. And I'm going to ruin this because french is not my strong suit called Laboratoires Rhône-Poulenc. I don't know. I suck at French. Um, they wanted to search for new anti histamine, which is something that treats allergies and immune system reactions and kind of stumbled upon this medication. And today it treats everything from anxiety and mood disorders to nausea and even chronic hiccups, um, which is fascinating and terrifying. I don't want, I don't ever want chronic hiccups. It largely replaced, for a lot of people, things like electro shock, things like hydrotherapy (which at this point was really drowning you and waterboarding you), psychosurgery, other brain surgeries to make you how they wanted you to act. And insulin shock therapy, which is also terrifying as fuck. They would give you too much insulin, you'd kind of be in this almost comatose state. They'd bring you back. What was happening in these institutions and schools and hospitals was legitimately torture in the name of medical science. And it got us really nowhere other than these are all torture techniques that we use today against "enemies of the state." So yeah, you thought you were listening to a fun podcast, didn't you? In 1967. Freeman performs his final transorbital lobotomy on a patient named Helen Mortensen. it wasn't uncommon for him to do a couple of lobotomies on people, and this was her third lobotomy. She dies from a brain hemorrhage after the procedure and, um, he's actually banned from operating ever again. His medical license got taken away, um, which is frankly far too late. Um, there's actually a case in 1951, he was treating a patient at Cherokee Mental Health institute in I believe Iowa. And he paused for a photo op because he was so excited and the photo op happens when he's got the pick in her eye and you know, is hammering, smiling at the camera hammering and um, he went too far into her brain and he killed her. And that's not an uncommon story. He kIlled hundreds of his patients, whether directly or indirectly because of the "operations" he was performing. He had no formal training in lobotomies. Um, I mean as a spearheader of the technique, you generally don't get formal training, but, um, you know, he didn't clean his instruments often between patients. He didn't wear gloves, he didn't wear a mask. He didn't operate in a sterile environment. He often did it in his, um, office, like, like his home office or like academic office. You know where it's dusty and shit? Yeah, he did there. And a lot of his patients were queer or trans and they were given lobotomies to change how they were expressing their sexuality or their gender. And that's something that's really hard to sit with. I don't have words. My heart is beating in my throat because I'm just thinking about how lucky I am to have been born 30 years later than what could have potentially killed me. It's terrifying. By 1968 freeman is going on cross country followup studies of his lobotomy patients visiting them, visiting their families, trying to kind of prove that his shit is working, which is still terrifying. About 50,000 people received lobotomies in the United States. Most of those were between 1949 and 1950. About 10,000 of those were transorbital lobotomies and the rest were mostly those prefrontal lobotomies. Freeman performed about 3,500 the bottom of his career during his career, sorry, of which were, um, 2,500 with these ice pick/transorbital lobotomies. Freeman believed that cutting certain nerves in the brain could eliminate too much emotion, could stabilize your personality, and I mean he wasn't incorrect with those things, um, but for the wrong reasons. Where he's cutting into the brain, it gives patients an inability to feel very intense emotions and, sometimes, any emotions at all. And they kind of aren't as worried. People expressed that they've seemed childlike. Some patients did improve, which is terrifying to lend any credence to this. Some essentially became comatose and for others it didn't really have an effect and still others died. If you're looking for a good, um, fictional account of a transorbital lobotomy, you can go read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. Randall McMurphy is a character within that book who receives a transorbital lobotomy. Um, I dunno, I don't think it does it justice, but I'm a weird person. Freeman's most common rationale for doing this lobotomies was to treat things like schizophrenia. He also used it to treat suicidal depression, major depression as we know it today. And even chronic pain, which is a whole 'nother layer of terrifying to me. He had a quote, I'm in a New York times article 1937 - It wasn't his quote, but uh, but this article talked about the different things that a lobotomy could help with: "Tension, apprehension, anxiety, depression, insomnia, suicidal ideas to things like delusions, hallucinations, crying spells, melancholia, obsessions, panic states, disorientation psychalgesia," which is pains of psychic origin - I Think they really mean like psychosomatic, like that you're making up your pain essentially. Just bullshit. "nervous indigestion" - Hey, IBS pals! - "And hysterical paralysis." I don't know. It's ridiculous. He traveled in a van during his visit to all of these psychiatric hospitals, um, that he did over his career and basically had crossed the nation 11 times. During the time that he practiced, he performed the lobotomy on no less than 2,500. It could be more than that, this ice pick lobotomy. But it was on patients across 23 states, which is an amazing. The reach. He could perform over 20 of these operations in a day, banging them out quickly. And there were staff members who were horrified about how he treated patients about the procedure, about, you know, the, the likelihood of people dying during it and all of that. But there were, there were often people who couldn't speak up. Um, I read one account of someone who was an immigrant who was really just starting in medicine as an aid to freeman and, um, didn't feel he could speak up because Walter Freeman was Walter Freeman. How are you going to tell him he's wrong when you're just a peon? Um, again, terrifying and unfortunately still relatively common in medicine today. Um, this kind of the White Coat Syndrome is what we call it, that the white coat is seen as a, some sort of god like apparel and that a physician knows everything, sees everything and um, you should follow everything they say. And in reality - nerd tangent - In reality, whether you're a staff person or a patient, that's not the case. Studies have shown - and I did my master's capstone on this. I won't go too preachy, but, um, you know, studies have shown that patients who are more involved with their care, who gets the opportunity to participate in their care have far better health outcomes, you know, fewer emergency department and urgent care visits, lower health care utilization, lower health costs, etc. Etc. Etc. So, just uh, there's that, I guess. Coming back from our tangent and our discussion about lobotomies in general. Um, Joseph Kennedy approves Freeman to give Rosemary a lobotomy. Unfortunately, it left Rosemary permanently incapacitated and she was unable to care for herself. Um, this arch bishop was like, "oh, hey, you should send her to St. Colleta's." And um, the family traveled there. They built her own house on St Coletta ground so that she didn't have to deal with the overcrowding in the institution itself because after all, she's the Kennedy. She lost the ability to speak coherently. Her movement, um, took awhile to gain back. She lost the ability to walk for quite a long time, had to relearn it. Movement in one of her arms and the use of that arm was lost permanently. Her family really just kind of dropped her. Her mother didn't visit her for two decades and her father never visited after they got her there. After her father's death and only after his death she'd be taken on trips to go visit, you know, the Kennedy home every so often. And after JFK's election, um, in 1961 after he took office, the family came out publicly saying that she'd been diagnosed as a R word. It's a really sad story. I think people forget about her so much. Um, she had an older sister named Eunice Kennedy Shriver. I'm sorry, not an older sister a younger sister. I read my notes wrong. Um, and they were very close, very close. In 1962 Eunice started at a camp in her own backyard that was meant for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. And that camp actually involved into the Special Olympics, which is pretty cool. It's really nice to kind of learn the basis for how things like that came about. The Special Olympics is not perfect and I don't like some of the inspiration porn ideas that it sets up. But it is cool to know that that came from there and, um, I think that really pushed for the paralympics to start and things like that. So it's, um, it is kind of really cool. Rosemary lived at St. Coletta's for the rest of her life. She died in January of 2005 at age 86. On January 7th, Eunice said in her eulogy that Rosemary left a legacy that was long and deep, particularly for, you know, the beginning of the Special Olympics - but even when JFK was in office, he was pushing to improve, how the government handled disability and really used her story to try to spearhead that. And I'm really sad that he died at this point because who knows, the, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) could have been passed 30 years earlier. Um, you know, other things happened as well that, that she really helped with. Rosemary died at Fort Atkinson Memorial Hospital and her three surviving sisters - Eunice, Patricia Kennedy Lawford and Jean Kennedy Smith - And then, um, Ted Kennedy were all by her side. She was the fifth child of the Kennedy family to die, but the first to die from natural causes, which is also sad. There's actually an IMDB movie in there - err there's a movie that's listed on IMBD that's in the works right now about Rosemary and I am so fucking excited I cannot contain it! And I'm going to read some facts kind of about what they've got listed about the storyline, um, because I just think it's so fantastic. So she was really easy going as a teenager and a child. Um, as she returned, she became increasingly assertive and rebellious - how rare for a teenager! She had some violent mood swings and mood changes, but they thought that maybe that had to do with her own frustration with being expected to do so well and performed at these high Kennedy family standards. And then when you just didn't reach that, it's really frustrating and I could definitely see that shit. She began to sneak out at school. She, she was in a convent school in dc. She would sneak out at night and her parents were pissed. Joseph thought that she was bringing shame and embarrassing the family and could damage his political career and the political career of his sons, which was all he cared about. About of the 80 percent of lobotomies in the forties and the fifties were performed on women. They were very often performed at the behest of a man in their life, whether it's a father or a husband or even a son. And the youngest person that Freeman operated on was a four year old, so there were really, it was a very wide range of people, but it was often at the behest of other people and not someone coming in and being like, "doc, you gotta give you this lobotomy!" Joseph didn't tell his wife that they were going to do this procedure on Rosemary until it was done, which is terrifying. It was basically uh, they used an instrument that was basically like a butter knife to cut the brain tissue. And as they were doing such rosemary was awake. All of these patients were awake for transorbital um, and even for prefrontal at times. Um, she just had a mild tranquilizer but, but she was awake and they asked her to recite things like the Lord's Prayer or sing God Bless America or count or anything like that. And they made estimates on how far to cut based on how she responded and only stopped when she became incoherent. They estimated that her brain capacity went down to that of a two year old child. I hate the notion that we have to quantify those things. Um, I also really disliked the idea that just because someone may not be able to express more complicated ideas, um, means they don't have them. There are a lot of cases where even people in a coma, for god's sakes, and knew what was going on around them or could grasp the horrible things that family members were saying about them or around them and just maybe didn't have a way to communicate that outside their brain. And that's something everyone needs to remember. Anyone with a, with a medical condition, a chronic illness. it's not always that we aren't able to even comprehend things. Sometimes it's just finding the right words, sometimes it's finding the right way to communicate those things. I'm going back to the brain fog idea, right? It's really hard sometimes for me to find the words and that's actually why I do a lot more writing than I do podcasting and videos and things. Um, but it is really important, uh, to just remember that like, just because I might communicate better via writing doesn't mean that I'm like awful or the, my mental capacity is diminished that have so and so age child. I just hate those quantification - barf. Um, she, uh, again, she couldn't walk or talk after the procedure and she actually became incontinent for her entire life. So she had urinary and fecal issues, uh, which are awful at the time. That arch bishop Richard Cushing that I mentioned earlier told Joseph about St Coletta's. There were more than 300 residents there, which was, you know, growing rapidly. And the home they built for her was called the Kennedy Cottage. Two catholic nuns were really assigned to take care of her. And then there was a student that would come help - students across the years, and there were artists, uh, a woman who works on ceramics with Rosemary several times a week. Some of those kinds of things as she got allowances that other residents didn't often get. She had a dog, she'd get taken for car rides. She'd loved riding in cars. Um, and, and things like that that, that other people wouldn't get because after all, again, she's the Kennedy. Her, her family freely abandoned her for a long time. They would explain when, when John was running for reelection in the senate in the late fifties, you know, they explained away her absence, said, "Oh, she's reclusive. Oh, she's too busy, you know, working as a teacher for disabled kids. Oh, she's doing this, she's doing that." And they didn't tell people again until 61 after John was an office in the presidency that, um, she was dealing with developmental disabilities, but they, they also never said that that was the result of a procedure that Joseph approved. I mean, why would you? You wouldn't want that out there. Of course. I think in today's day and age it would be found out almost immediately and there would hopefully be an uproar. But after Joseph died in 1969 again, Rosemary was taken to visit relatives, visit home. Um, she'd learned to walk again. She always had a limp. Um, and she really didn't ever regained the ability to speak clearly, which is unfortunate. Um, she deserved to have that. She deserved to have a long life and a life full of support and care. She's buried beside her parents in holly hood's cemetery in Brookline, Massachusetts. Of course, with this being the Spooky Sconnie Podcast, I mean, obviously we're going to talk about hauntings. I found just a smatterIng online. There wasn't a lot. Um, but I think they're interesting and they're, or do seem to be a lot of rumors, but there weren't a ton that I could find that weren't, you know, that, that existed across a couple of different sites and not just, "oh yeah, I heard one time x, y, z." And I really want it to not just be hearsay, but like, it's also weird to be like, don't be a hearsay ghost, like I don't know. So, one of the dormitories, Serra Hall, was built during that time when they expanded a lot, has had several occurrences where there's someone walking up and down the hallway in the second floor. But every one is in their rooms and all the staff members are downstairs. Then there's also these interesting occurrences where apparently there's a spirit on the second floor that likes to turn on the showers. Cause there's no one around and that's what happens. I don't know - it's interesting. Um, and they, they call her the girl spirit. So it would be like, "oh, that girl turned on the showers again." They would always just refer to her as a girl. Um, but I don't know, you know, I couldn't find anything about why they say she's the girl. Like has anyone seen her? Or is it just like did, was there a resident at some point that loves to just run and turn on showers and they assume that it's her ghost? I don't know, I couldn't find anything. Uh, there, there's that. And there's also some reports of weird cryptid-like appearances around the campus. Um, Wisconsin has a lot more cryptids than anyone knows. I think the Beast of Brey Road [I misspoke] is the one that people may know. And I think that's especially because there was a movie that came out earlier this year about that. There's a lot. And apparently there's a werewolf/wolf man that has been spotted in the area. Um, Jefferson itself has some interesting haunted history and it definitely could be related to this wolf. My idea. So, so there's that. There's st coletta's school in jefferson, Wisconsin. Um, I hope that you enjoyed this episode. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do next, but I have a ton of research sitting in my evernote and really just kind of going with the flow as to what I want to use for our next episode. My goal is to try to make this a bi-weekly podcast for now. That may change. um, and we'll see. I don't think I'd ever run out of creepy Wisconsin or Wisconsin-adjacent stories, um, but you know, some of them may be reaches, I think this one having the focus beyond Rosemary Kennedy might have been a reach, but I didn't know she lived here for so long. Um, so I think it's really important to tell that history. Um, and I think it's important to remember how those of us who are disabled have been treated historically. Um, and I promise not every episode is going to be so goddamn dark, but I think it's a good. I think that's a good base for maybe understanding kind of where I'm going with this podcast. Like I want it to be funny. I want it to be educational. I want it to be fucking weird. Um, but I also want us to all take away stuff from it. Not just from an educational basis, but like a snapple. I mean, maybe tomorrow I'll be talking with somebody who brings up the have of the kennedys were great and you're like, oh, but actually, and you can peel walking snapple cap. Can you imagine? Like somebody just dressing up as a snapple cap for halloween. that would be amazing. Don't steal my ideas, or do you. I mean, are you going to remember this by halloween? I don't know. I don't know that I'm going to remember this balancing. I'm gonna have to write it down.

After an unsuccessful attempt at recording early Tuesday morning the MSF Podcast crew was back at it for episode 32. It isn’t always easy but we grind it out for you guys. But enough about our heroism, it was a big weekend.We start with the Gopher football team, who finally brought Paul Bunyan’s Axe back to Minneapolis after 15 years of building up layers of cheese dust (not the good kind created by eating too many cheese balls — it’s more of a layer of a dust-type mold that smells like framented cheese).The victory completely changes the narrative of the offseason for PJ Fleck and his young football team.The Vikings also won a big game vs a disgusting Wisconsin team. But, it’s far from celebration time at US Bank Stadium. In a jammed up NFC, the Vikings need to win some tough games to guarantee their playoff hopes and dreams.We talk about what it’ll take.It starts with a win in Foxborough this Sunday afternoon vs the legendary New England Patriots. Can the Vikings upset Brady and Belechick? We line the two teams up side-by-side and look at the “tale of the tape” to see if the SKOL stand a chance.Please subscribe to the MSF Podcast on your favorite listening platforms.

Sconnie Nation is dedicated to celebrating the Wisconsin lifestyle! Sconnie Nation prides itself on in-house, unique, masterpieces that cannot be found anywhere else. The Sconnie tradition began way back in 1848 when Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union and continues today. We started the company during the spring of 2004 in our freshmen dorm room out in Turner Kronshage with the goal of spreading Sconnie pride across the country. Today, Sconnie Nation is still based in Madison, Wisconsin. The idea behind Sconnie Nation is simple. Anyone from Wisconsin, who attends school in Wisconsin, or just loves the dairy state in general can identify with Sconnie. Sconnie is anything of or relating to Wisconsin. Sconnie is an identity. It can be used as a noun ("I am a Sconnie") or an adjective ("Look at that Sconnie truck"). You don't have to be from Wisconsin to appreciate the Sconnie movement. It's all about embracing and celebrating this genuinely Wisconsinesque environment we call home. Sconnie is tailgating, bowling, bubblers, washing cheese curds down with a beer, having a tractor-shaped mailbox, or eating a cream puff. If you like eating a brat and cheering for the Pack, you know what we're talking about. www.sconnienation.com

On this episode, we speak with Jeff Nordgaard of the Sconnie Legends. The boys from Wisconsin have played in TBT twice, in 2014 and 2015, when they narrowly missed out on a trip to the Round of 16 and national TV on ESPNU.

It is finally here. After weeks, days, hours, minutes, and even seconds of waiting the season is finally here. We can all officially stop pretending like we are going to watch the Wednesday night MACtion game or the 1am EST Hawaii snooze-fest. Despite complaints about the lack of football we all have better things to do. One of those better things includes listening to MSECU Radio. I'm joined by Walt, Hondros, and others to talk football. But before we get to this weekend's tantalizing borefest, we have to talk about the SEC. We pay homage to the supposedly greatest conference in football. Remember that someone will get paid $4 million to go to Shreveport, maybe even a few uglier locations too. After the SEC is done we talk real live football. Bama plays Sconnie, TCU plays the Gophers, and Carolina takes on South Cackalacky. All of which will inspire boredom, impotence, and a desire to go outside.
