    155: Urine Beer, Insulin Comas, and Ozempic: the DH of Diabetes
    Jan 8 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Diabetes is a disease that’s been around for thousands and thousands of years. Literally, since the neanderthals were walking around, painting in caves.

    Recently, I went to the doctor. And something happened. I had to pee in a cup, you know, pretty routine. But my doctor came back with this look on his face and he was like… your pee is full of sugar. Turns out, this could be a sign of diabetes.

    So while I was waiting for my test results… you know me. I was doom scrolling. Googling until 3am. Just preparing myself for the worst. I ended up not having diabetes, but even still… I couldn’t stop reading about it. Because this disease has an *insane* history.

    Before there was insulin and Ozempic, there were starvation diets, opium cocktails, and… beer made of literal pee. Let’s get into it.

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

    154: The Mass Murderer Who Inspired Hitler: How Mussolini Manipulated a Nation
    Dec 18 2024
    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.

    153: Creators Ruined By Their Creations: Great Ideas, Deadly Consequences
    Dec 11 2024
    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.

  • 152: The Secret Sex Lives of Eunuchs | Dark History

    152: The Secret Sex Lives of Eunuchs | Dark History
    Dec 4 2024
    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.

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

    151: Sex, Booze & Conspiracy Theories: The Dark History of Air Travel
    Nov 20 2024
    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. Welcome to the Dark History of Air Travel.

    150: Life Before Worker’s Rights: This Toxic Workplace Turned Girls Radioactive!?
    Nov 13 2024
    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.

    Friends... tickets are available until November 12th to watch a replay of MURDER MYSTERY & MAKEUP - A Live Digital Premiere over to https://moment.co/mmm

    I aired my first ever live event on October 15. And it's honestly really hard to explain how much fun it all was. We laughed, we got spiritual and I shared some things I've never really talked about before. Vulnerability! Thank you, to everyone, who bought tickets and joined me. I'll never forget this experience.

    Now... if you missed the event... don't you worry. I got you. For the next 28 days, you can still buy a ticket to watch MMM Live. Now why would you buy a ticket to a live event that is no longer live, you ask? Good question.

    Well... this is an exclusive episode that cannot be seen anywhere else. Including YouTube. After November 12th... this story, all the hot gos and insider makeup tips are... POOF... gone forever.

    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    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.

    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    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! For the Dark History of Ancient Torture… part 2!
