  • 179: The Oil Scandal They Tried to Erase from History

    179: The Oil Scandal They Tried to Erase from History
    Aug 13 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    I always wanted to date Robbie Sinclair from Dinosaurs. Anyone else? [CRICKETS] So whenever I drive by a Sinclair gas station, you know, the one with the dinosaur logo? I always think of him. His spiky hair. That letterman jacket.

    I don’t care that he was a foam puppet. I was eight and I knew what I wanted. And what I wanted… was Robbie.

    I was so distracted by my thoughts of Robbie that I never realized Sinclair Oil had a dark secret. And the whole time it was hiding in plain sight.
    Back in the 1920s, oil was the new gold. Because out of nowhere, all of a sudden, everything was running on it. Literally. Cars and airplanes were taking over. And if World War 1 taught us anything, it was that we needed an emergency stash of oil for the military… Just in case.

    It was like a gold rush… but with oil. And when there’s money on the table, somebody’s gonna get greedy. This is how a *huge* government scandal happened. I’m talking corruption, shady deals, and millions of dollars stuffed into a black briefcase.

    Today we’re diving into one of the dirtiest scandals in U.S. history. Before Watergate, before Enron, before Bill Clinton and Monica, there was… Teapot Dome. And yes, it involves a teapot. Kind of.

    Welcome to the Dark History of Teapot Dome.

  • 178: The Most F*ed Up Baby Products in History

    178: The Most F*ed Up Baby Products in History
    Aug 6 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    I don’t know if this is happening to any of you out there, but suddenly, everyone I know is having a baby. Which means I’m looking at one baby registry after another. Honestly I don’t mind, I love buying baby stuff. It’s so little and cute.

    But lately, I’ve noticed that the stuff people have on their registry is *next level.* Now, everyone gets wipe warmers… so the wipes that touch the baby’s butt aren’t cold.

    There’s toy subscriptions for infants, so your baby’s mental development stays on track. They even make these mini dishwashers just for baby bottles. What else will they think of??

    The baby industry is worth over *$358 billion dollars.* I me an, things have come LONG way. But it was always like this, it used to be *way* simpler. But does that mean it was better?

    Turns out, there is a shocking history behind baby products I had never heard about. Many products that were marketed to parents to *help* their babies actually ended up seriously hurting or even killing them.

    And with new baby products popping up every day, I’m wondering… are we doomed to repeat the past?

    I can *not* wait to hear your thoughts on this one - whether you’re a parent or not. Welcome to the Dark History of Toxic Baby Products!

    177: They Used Nun Urine For What?! The Dark History of Getting Pregnant
    Jul 23 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!
    One of my friends is having a baby, so we’ve been talking about baby stuff a lot. And of course… my stupid phone is listening. So now my TikTok feed is filled with all these freaking baby videos.

    Usually I just scroll past it, but the other day… one of them caught my eye. It was a viral video all about how this girl got pregnant because she took Mucinex. You know, the medicine for chest congestion? I know… so random.

    I thought this was a fake video but as I did more research, turns out *thousands* of people have tried this, and tons of them swear by it.

    But here’s the thing: this is nothing new. Since the dawn of time, humans have been trying desperately to multiply.

    People have been drinking strange potions, and performing controversial rituals, and even worshipping a metal penis for *centuries*. When it comes to making babies, people will try anything.

    So today, we’re diving into the weird, wild, and sometimes terrifying Dark history of fertility.

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

Love hearing Bailey tell the story and enjoyed it so much. The only down side was that it was hard to distinguish story from ads, maybe a little music in between? I listen while enjoying the devils lettuce lol

Sadly we all have suffered from companies like this. Even if we shut them down, we still have it in our blood etc

Story was ok sounded like another Erin Brocovich

Thank you so so so much me and my native brothers and sisters love when our story of our ancestors are told as a native from the tulalip tribes or Washington state we think you for letting our story of the past be told we don’t get as much recognition as we should as the people who owned this land first this made me love you 10x more keep it up

Thank you Bailey ❣️

I've always listened and watched Bailey over on YouTube but now I'm switching over to here (Audible) I am obsessed and to tell you the truth my husband looks forward to listening in, too. I can fully say that we enjoy this podcast not only for the dark history lessons but because we actually find Bailey frickin' hilarious. If you like darkness, story telling, & sarcasm.. Bailey is your girl.

Bailey, you're officially stuck with me. Obsessed!
