    183: The MESSY Life of Ronald Reagan: Snitching, Scandals & DEADLY Decision
    Sep 17 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    So the other day, I was googling jelly beans. Don’t ask why, I was in a mood. But I ended up falling down a rabbit hole, and suddenly… I was reading about Ronald Reagan.

    Apparently, Reagan was *obsessed* with jelly beans. I guess he started eating them as a way to quit smoking. He swapped cigarettes for jelly beans. Inspired.

    But once he was hooked, he never looked back. There were jelly beans on Air Force One. Jelly beans in the Oval Office. Jelly beans sent to space with astronauts, I am not joking.

    At this point I stumbled onto a quote about his wife, Nancy Reagan, and let me just say...America may have called her the First Lady, but Hollywood had a slightly different title for her. If you know, you know.

    So today, I’ve got quite a story for you. Blow jobs, secret weapon deals, astrology, and a very intense power couple.
    This man ignored a literal pandemic, while letting his wife schedule national security briefings based on his horoscope.

    So join me for the Dark History of Ronald Reagan. Let’s get into it.

    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

  • 182: The Cult of Kellogg: Cornflakes, Celibacy, and Colonics??

    182: The Cult of Kellogg: Cornflakes, Celibacy, and Colonics??
    Sep 10 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    The other day I was craving a big fat bowl of Honey Smacks cereal with whole milk. When I was a kid, that was luxury to me. But I hadn’t had them in forever so I didn’t even know if they were still around.

    You know me - I googled “HONEY SMACKS… DISCONTINUED??” Good news, they’re around. Bad news… I found out about Kellogg’s, the company that makes them, has been in some hot water lately.

    We all know inflation sucks and it’s affecting *everything*, especially food prices. Tons of families across America are struggling to put food on the table.

    So the media asked a Kelloggs CEO for his reaction on that. And his response? He essentially said, [SARCASTIC] “MAYBE THEY SHOULD EAT CEREAL FOR DINNER.”

    Awkward. But this did get me thinking - why *do* we eat cereal for breakfast? Well I looked into it, and I stumbled into the world of John Harvey Kellogg, the man behind Kelloggs. And my mind was blown.

    Because behind that sweet little box of Honey Smacks is a freaky origin story. We’re talkin’ culty health retreats, yogurt enemas, and a crusade against masturbation.

    So buckle up if you dare, for the Dark History of …Kelloggs.

  • 181: The Real Conjuring: Ghost Hunters or Grifters? Who Were Ed & Lorraine Warren

    181: The Real Conjuring: Ghost Hunters or Grifters? Who Were Ed & Lorraine Warren
    Sep 3 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Listen… I know it’s not *officially* Fall yet, okay? But we all know Fall means Halloween, and Halloween is my favorite holiday. So I wanted to get started celebrating a little early this year.

    I did a soft launch on my decorations. Put out a few pumpkins and spider webs. The crows in my backyard approved. And I decided this weekend, I was going to see a scary movie. I found out the last Conjuring movie was coming out and I was so excited.

    This one is all about Ed and Lorraine Warren, the demonologists behind all the other Conjuring movies. And even though there have been *so* many Conjuring movies, I realized that I never looked into Ed and Lorraine Warren myself.

    And listen… I’m left with nothing but questions. Were they legit? What made them so famous? And what was the reason they left the spotlight? Was it really because of one terrifying case, or, was the reason much darker? I need your opinions!

    Welcome to the Dark History of Ed and Lorraine Warren!

I have seen a few of Bailey's youtube videos and enjoyed them since it seems to center around crimes I haven't heard. The only issue here is too many fricken ads. No other podcast I have listened to has this many paid advertisements. First influencer podcast I have listened to so that says it all I guess lol.

Lots of advertisements

Sorry but seems to be read by a modern day valley girl.
Did I hear a commercial in the middle???
Topics could be interesting but can’t take the immature style of reading
