Dark History

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I’m very interested in dictators. I read so much about Stalin last year. We even did a two parter on him, wild guy. Today’s main character has a LOT in common with Stalin… He was besties with Hitler. And he survived not one, not two, not three, but FOUR assassination attempts. On top of that, after he survived, he tried to *cancel christmas.* Today, we’re talking about… BENITO MUSSOLINI.  He’s responsible for the deaths of HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people.  But what made him so powerful and why did so many people support him?  Well, those are the questions I wanted to know the answers to, so let's learn about Benito Mussolini in today's episode of Dark History.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Lawrence Sperry, the inventor of autopilot had ONE vice, and it's that he was... well, really horny. Allegedly, Lawrence would use autopilot to step away and have sexual relations with women on the plane.  Lawrence was later involved in a plane crash… some say it was because he was using his autopilot to service a lady, others say it had something to do with the weather.  He and his lady friend survived… but they were found completely stripped of their clothes. And the media went wild. Lawrence became kind of a joke and maybe because of that, he kind of gets forgotten for inventing autopilot.  But this made me realize: the very thing Lawrence invented almost killed him. How ironic. And… he’s not the only one. Lawrence is just one of many creators who have had near death experiences with their creations. And some weren’t as lucky as he was.  Welcome to the Dark History of creators RUINED by their creations. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Over many cultures and many years, being a Eunuch--or someone who has been castrated--has meant something different. Like In ancient China, Eunuchs were thought to be more trustworthy, so they became political advisors.  Or In Italy, they realized it stopped men’s voices from developing. So Eunuchs formed a special class of opera singers.  Sometimes the process of becoming a Eunuch was voluntary… And other times… not so much. It was done by force or even coercion. But where did these traditions start?  Well my friends, today, we’re talking about the dark history of … EUNUCHS.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  I personally hate traveling. I’m always doing something wrong and getting yelled at. But that’s just the price you pay to get somewhere quicker. But has it always been like this? Because I know I’ve seen photos of people in the 60’s having lobster and smoking cigarettes on the plane. Flight attendants had these incredible outfits, the flight had an *open bar*, champagne was served in crystal glasses. But when I got to researching, I realized… the old days of flying weren’t so romantic.

Hi friends, happy Wednesdsay! Back in the 1800s, matches were a huge deal. In the days before electricity, you needed matches to light your candles, your lamps, your stove so you could cook, and even your fireplace so you wouldn’t freeze to death. Many considered matches to be *the most* important item in the home. But… ironically… the history of matches is *dark.* Making matches often led to slow, painful deaths. And workers who didn’t die had to live with brutal, face-altering injuries for the rest of their lives. And, it led to a legendary strike that changed worker’s rights forever.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. Want some cool Bailey Merch?

Do you guys ever go to a restaurant and see someone being a jerk to the wait staff? And you’re like hello? Whatever they bring back to you is definitely going to have, best case, spit in it.  The point is, there’s a door between you and the kitchen, so you can never really know what’s going on back there.  We put a TON of trust into the people that handle our food.  Which brings us to today’s story. Her name was Mary Mallon… some people know her as… Typhoid Mary. And she became known as the Deadliest Cook in America. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

I’ve been watching a lot of scary movies because… hello… It's Halloween. ‘Tis the season. So I put on an old classic… SAW. A couple of years ago, we did a Dark History episode on Ancient Torture. And that alone was *way* scarier than Saw.  I went back and looked into my notes for that episode and girl… I forgot that there are all of these torture techniques we didn’t get to get into. And let’s just say… they’re keeping me up at night. These torture techniques are *creative* to say the least. So join me on this journey… again!

I was trying to pull together a last minute Halloween costume for a party, and I was like maybe a sexy vampire? And then I got to thinking… why is it that all vampires are hot? If we started with Dracula, how did we get here? How did we get to Edward Cullen and Buffy and vampires basically being the sexiest villains out there?  Well friends, I got to the bottom of it. Spoiler alert, it involves a toxic relationship between a famous poet and his doctor, French mail-order brides being sent to America, and lesbian vampire erotica.  I appreciate you coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

I don’t know about you, but the second summer is over, I’m pulling out the pumpkins, I’m lighting my candles, and I am ready to let Halloween take over. When I was going through my closet looking for Joan’s Halloween costumes, something fell from the shelf straight onto my head. It was my Ouija board. And look… I don’t know if it’s because of spooky season or what, but it spooked me.  I mean yeah, it’s *just* a board game… but it *is* communicating with spirits...allegedly. It made me wonder… why are we letting kids casually communicate with the dead?  So I got to searching. Turns out, there is a long, wild history behind the Ouija board, and some of America’s most popular board games. And a lot of their stories end in *murder.*  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. _______ Want some cool Bailey Merch?

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! In the US, we have The Kennedys, but here are so many other families in history that are just as rich and influential. Sometimes more. And over in Ireland… they have the Guinness family. Yes, that Guinness. The beer your ex boyfriend loved… a little too much. Also the people who somehow became responsible for those World Record books? But when I started to get into it… I was shocked. I mean I thought the Kennedy Curse was bad. This was *WAY* worse. This family has been a part of some of the biggest events in Ireland’s history, and they have some serious skeletons in the closet.  I appreciate you coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.  Want some cool Bailey Merch?

Over the last hundred years, some WILD stuff has gone down in the world of genetics. Did you know that Stalin was once approached to be a sperm donor to create a perfect baby? Or that Jeffrey Epstein had a secret plan to create a squad of genius children on a mysterious ranch in New Mexico? Or that one man created a sperm bank that ONLY accepted “donations” from Nobel Prize winning scientists? Well, we’re gonna get into all that and more in this episode.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with death. Between Dark History and Murder  Mystery & Makeup, it comes up *all* the time. But recently, I realized when people talk about death, they only talk about the event leading up to death--not what happens after. If you’re in America, dying isn’t necessarily about being remembered. It’s very freaking stressful. And… expensive. The industry makes over 20 billion dollars a year. So it got me thinking… why do we do this? Does it have to be this way? And who the hell is profiting off of all this death?  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. Want some cool Bailey Merch?

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I stumbled upon this wild story around 3am the other day. It's about Claire Sylvia, who faced serious heart issues and underwent a successful heart transplant. However, upon waking up, she suddenly craved beer and Chicken McNugget, things she had never really enjoyed. It turned out her donor, upon investigation, had a deep love for both. The more Claire learned about him, the more she realized she had adopted aspects of his personality. It got me thinking—does this phenomenon occur with every organ transplant? And now they're talking about using pig hearts—will we all start behaving like pigs next? So many questions! I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Some of us loved Prom. Some of us thought it was stupid. Some of us didn’t even go. But why do we even do it? And when did Prom start?

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Look… I grew up in the early 2000s. I essentially had a Blue Ultra Monster glued in my hand at all times. And to be honest… I have no clue where energy drinks even came from.  So what is the story? Who invented them? And why are we so obsessed with caffeine? Well friends… I found some answers.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. Want some cool Bailey Merch?

Hi friends, happy Tuesday! Once upon a time, bedtime stories were straight-up R-rated. Kids were being tucked in to tales about cannibalism, SA, body mutilation, and so much more. And the best part is, these stories are still around… but disguised… as your favorite *Disney* movies. That’s right, some of your favorite childhood memories have absolutely *horrific* origin stories.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
