  • 176: Who Invented Breakfast? The Breakfast Industry’s Dirty Little Secrets
    Jul 16 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    The other day I woke up starving — like, hangry. So I wandered into the kitchen and stood there, just… staring. Eggs? Too much work. Pancakes? Ehhh Toast? Meh. I mean why is choosing breakfast this complicated?

    It’s supposed to be “the most important meal of the day,” right? At least that’s what we’ve all been told. But who decided that? Who made the rules on what we should eat first thing in the morning?

    So I started digging — and what I found is, breakfast has never been just about food. It’s been a battlefield. A PR stunt. A marketing goldmine. And sometimes… even a political weapon.

    From early doctors who thought bland breakfasts could stop “sinful urges”… to the government pushing a food pyramid on America… to movements that fought for kids to actually have access to breakfast …it’s messy. Like spilled coffee on your white shirt messy.

    So let’s dive into it. Today we are talking about the Dark History of Breakfast.

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

  • 175: How Bodybuilding Went from Freak Show to Fitness Empire
    Jul 9 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    You know, lately I’ve noticed something strange. It feels like every celebrity these days is... jacked. Like, not just in “good shape.” I’m talking veins popping out of places I didn’t even know veins existed.

    I mean, back in the day, you had, what? 2 or 3 action stars. But now? Even the comedians are huge. Like, why is Jim from the Office looking like he’s training for the Olympics??

    All this got me thinking… When did we get so obsessed with muscles? Because I don’t remember Leonardo DiCaprio or Harrison Ford being jacked. They were just normal dudes.

    Where did it start? And is it even healthy to be so muscular?

    Today, we’re taking a little trip back in time to talk about the sweaty, sexy, and strange and Dark History of… bodybuilding.

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

  • 174: Murder, Incest, and Castration: How Nero DESTROYED Rome
    Jun 25 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    So you guys know I love dictators. And you ended up *LOVING* the Caesar episode… So it made me wonder what other, *older* dictators were out there who I assumed were boring but actually had these scandalous lives.

    And that’s when I found out about a certain emperor we’re gonna talk about today. Not only did he mass murder an entire group of people, but he *personally* killed just about everyone who got close to him.

    And you might think okay, typical bloodthirsty tyrant. Been there, done that. But … no. No one has ever matched this guy's freak.

    Some of the dictators we’ve talked about are actually failed artists. And then they take revenge on the world by taking it over.

    But this guy… it’s almost like he didn’t care about being in power at all. All he wanted to do was sing. And dance. And have insane orgies with eunuchs. But instead… he was forced by his mother to rule Rome.

    Today I am coming to you with the insane TRUE story of one of the world’s first tyrants. This is the Dark History of NERO.

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

The things the American powers to be have done to indigenous peoples in various places is just disgusting. They are the worst.

Lots of advertisements

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.

Valley Girl

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
