    164: When Jokes Turn DEADLY - The Most SHOCKING Pranks Gone WRONG
    Mar 26 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    You know what I love more than anything? A good prank. A perfectly timed jumpscare that makes someone pee their pants a little bit? I live for it.

    But I went back and I was looking at some famous pranks throughout history… And I realized, a lot of pranks go *too* far.

    Either because the pranker gets carried away, or because there’s a completely unexpected reaction from the prankee. And sometimes the pranks go so sideways, they cause freak accidents that no one sees coming.

    So join me for the strange, the sad, and the dark history of pranks gone wrong.

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

    I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out. IDK. lol: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/139701263-bailey

    163: Mobsters, Britney Spears, and the Raiders?! The TWISTED Identity of Las Vegas
    Mar 19 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    The other day I was invited to a bachelorette party. And it wasn’t one of those simple, one day parties. NO. This was going to be an all-out, wild, expensive bachelorette weekend in… the city of Las Vegas.

    And I knew exactly what was going to happen. The shots. Thunder from Down Under. $300 dinners. No sleep. And I’m like… why is everyone obsessed with going to this random, expensive city in the middle of the desert?

    Don’t get me wrong… I love Vegas. But it’s kind of surprising that it’s still around. I mean, if you think about it, Vegas has almost been canceled over and over and over again.

    I mean there was the mob, the recession, covid, inflation… but Vegas *always* seems to find a way to survive. And I had to get to the bottom of why. So join me on this journey as we discuss The Dark History of… Las Vegas.

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

    162: Secrets of the Bloodthirsty Women Who Ruled the Sea
    Mar 12 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    All great rulers at some point had to deal with the people who had the real power… pirates. I know. It sounds like a joke. But it’s true.

    For centuries, pirates were a huge power to be reckoned with. They didn’t follow any rules, they were violent, unpredictable, and there were tens of thousands of them just waiting to pounce on other ships or cities at any given moment.

    Surprisingly, I discovered that some of the world’s most famous pirates were *women*. And their backstories… you guys. I was shooketh. So much drama. I had to spill the tea. Welcome to the Dark History of Pirates.

  • 161: Saving Millions or Making us SICK?? The Shocking Truth Behind Vaping

    161: Saving Millions or Making us SICK?? The Shocking Truth Behind Vaping
    Feb 26 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Even though it’s super controversial, it seems like everyone is vaping these days. If you’ve ever watched my FYP videos, you know that I like to take a hit of the devil’s lettuce from a vape pen.

    But every time I post one of those videos, without fail, someone is like, [annoying voice] “vaping is so bad for you!” or “hell yeah, I’m hitting my vape pen right now.” People are always on opposite sides of the fence.

    So of course, I had to bite the bullet and do some research. Who the hell invented the vape pen? And are they *really* that bad for you?

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

    160: ICON, Sex Kitten, and BLACKLISTED?! WTF happened to Eartha Kitt
    Feb 19 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Most celebrities are lucky to be known for one big thing. But some are famous for different things, across multiple generations. To me, those are the icons.

    And one of those people is Eartha Kitt. A lot of millennials recognize her as the voice of Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove, that animated movie with the llama?

    But Eartha was so much more than a cartoon villain. She was a civil rights activist, an award winning singer, dancer, actor, teacher and author. And on top of all that, a sex icon!

    Learning about her story just made me even more obsessed with her. So let’s get into it. Welcome to the Dark History of the one, the only… Eartha Kitt.

    Feb 12 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Since ancient times, people have sought out aphrodisiacs—those mysterious foods, herbs, and even animal parts thought to ignite desire, spark passion, and awaken romance.

    But do these so-called love enhancers really work? Are they based on science or just the stuff of legend? And what’s the strangest aphrodisiac ever used? Today, we’re diving deep into the fascinating world of aphrodisiacs—exploring the wild, the weird, and the surprisingly real effects behind these tantalizing tales of romance.

    158: The Disturbing Truth About Amelia Earhart’s Final Flight: The Mystery That Haunts History
    Jan 29 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    We all know who Amelia Earhart was. You know, she was a really famous pilot, who set a bunch of records and I discovered… disappeared without a trace.

    Officially, no one knows what happened to Amelia, her plane,or the man who was on board with her. But boy oh boy, are there theories. So many theories. And surprisingly… a lot of research and evidence behind them. Some of them even had me reaching for my tin foil hat.

    But I’ll let you guys make up your minds for yourself. So today, we’re going to talk about Amelia Earhart - and what the hell happened to her.

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

  • 157: The Painkiller Problem: How Fentanyl Took Over America

    157: The Painkiller Problem: How Fentanyl Took Over America
    Jan 22 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Last year I had a surgery so that I could breathe again, and it’s been nice, thanks for asking! I love breathing. But when I was in the hospital, the doctors gave me some really strong pain medication.

    I asked what it was, and the doctor told me it was fentanyl. At first I was like..fentanyl??? Doesn't that kill everyone? But after a few seconds hey… this is working really well.

    Turns out, Fentanyl has been used in hospitals for a LONG time. It’s used in epidurals, it’s prescribed for cancer patients, and there was a time when doctors were even putting it in LOLLIPOPS.
    Even though it feels like fentanyl came out of nowhere over the last few years, it has a long and crazy history.

    So how did America, big pharma, and a well meaning scientist create the most powerful and deadly opioid in history? WHERE is this stuff even coming from? And how did the fentanyl epidemic become a problem too big to stop?

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
