153: Creators Ruined By Their Creations: Great Ideas, Deadly Consequences
<div>Hi friends, happy Wednesday!<br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> Welcome to the Dark History of creators RUINED by their creations.<br> <br> I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.<br> <br> Want some cool Bailey Merch?<br> Shop Dark History Merch: <a href="https://www.baileysarian.com">https://www.baileysarian.com</a><br> <br> ________<br> <br> FOLLOW ME AROUND <br> Tik Tok: <a href="https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v">https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v</a><br> Instagram: <a href="http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR">http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR</a><br> Facebook: <a href="http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6">http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6</a><br> Twitter: <a href="http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV">http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV</a><br> Pinterest: <a href="http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY">http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY</a><br> Youtube: <a href="http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og">http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og</a><br> Snapchat: <a href="https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d">https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d</a><br> Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/BaileySarian">https://discord.gg/BaileySarian</a><br> <br> RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: [email protected] <br> <br> Business Related Emails: [email protected]<br> <br> Business Related Mail: <br> Bailey Sarian <br> 4400 W.

152: The Secret Sex Lives of Eunuchs | Dark History
<div>Hi friends, happy Wednesday!<br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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? <br> <br> Well my friends, today, we’re talking about the dark history of … EUNUCHS.<br> <br> I appreciate you coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.<br> <br> ________<br> <br> FOLLOW ME AROUND <br> Tik Tok: <a href="https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v">https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v</a><br> Instagram: <a href="http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR">http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR</a><br> Facebook: <a href="http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6">http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6</a><br> Twitter: <a href="http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV">http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV</a><br> Pinterest: <a href="http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY">http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY</a><br> Youtube: <a href="http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og">http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og</a><br> Snapchat: <a href="https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d">https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d</a><br> Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/BaileySarian">https://discord.gg/BaileySarian</a><br> <br> RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: [email protected] <br> <br> Business Related Emails: [email protected]<br> <br> Business Related Mail: <br> Bailey Sarian <br> 4400 W.

151: Sex, Booze & Conspiracy Theories: The Dark History of Air Travel
<div>Hi friends, happy Wednesday! <br> <br> 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?<br> <br> 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.<br> <br> But when I got to researching, I realized… the old days of flying weren’t so romantic.

150: Life Before Worker’s Rights: This Toxic Workplace Turned Girls Radioactive!?
<div>Hi friends, happy Wednesdsay!<br> <br> 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.<br> <br> 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. <br> <br> I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.<br> <br> Want some cool Bailey Merch?<br> Shop Dark History Merch: <a href="https://www.baileysarian.com">https://www.baileysarian.com</a><br> <br> _________<br> <br> FOLLOW ME AROUND <br> Tik Tok: <a href="https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v">https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v</a><br> Instagram: <a href="http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR">http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR</a><br> Facebook: <a href="http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6">http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6</a><br> Twitter: <a href="http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV">http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV</a><br> Pinterest: <a href="http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY">http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY</a><br> Youtube: <a href="http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og">http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og</a><br> Snapchat: <a href="https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d">https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d</a><br> Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/BaileySarian">https://discord.gg/BaileySarian</a><br> <br> RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: [email protected] <br> <br> Business Related Emails: [email protected]<br> <br> Business Related Mail: <br> Bailey Sarian <br> 4400 W.
