Nobody Said Anything | Taylor Parker, Reagan Simmons-Hancock, and the Pregnancy That Never Existed

Krissy cracks open a Goose Island Summertime Kölsch and dives into one of the most infuriating cases she's ever covered. After watching Netflix's Maternal Instinct, Krissy thought she was getting the full story of Taylor Parker and the murder of Reagan Simmons-Hancock. She was not. What followed was a week-long rabbit hole filled with fake pregnancies, fake illnesses, fake inheritances, fake ultrasounds, fake million-dollar checks, and enough ignored warning signs to make you want to scream into a pillow. Before unpacking the horrifying murder of Reagan Simmons-Hancock and her unborn daughter Braxlynn Sage, Krissy examines five other cases where somebody saw the danger coming and the system still failed to stop it. From Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Andrea Yates to Susan Powell and Pam Hupp, one question keeps coming up: How many warnings does it take before someone actually listens? Then comes the Long Pour. A ten-month fake pregnancy. A silicone baby bump. A gender reveal for a baby that never existed. Friends who knew. Family who questioned. Doctors who sounded alarms. A due date that kept moving. And a lie so massive it eventually demanded something real. This is the story Netflix couldn't fit into forty-five minutes. Grab a drink, ghosties. This one is heavy. #BrewsWithBoos #TrueCrimePodcast #TaylorParker #ReaganSimmonsHancock #MaternalInstinct #TrueCrimeCommunity #WomenWhoKill #DarkHistory #PodcastLife #Ghosties

Prophets, Psychics & Problematic Wizards | The Original Occult Influencers and the Rise of Aleister Crowley

Krissy cracks open a beer and dives into the original occult influencers, the mystical celebrities, spiritual scammers, prophets, psychics, immortal socialites, beard goblins, and absolute chaos agents who walked so modern internet weirdos could run. This week's Fuckery Report covers Helena Blavatsky, Rasputin, Edgar Cayce, Saint Germain, the Fox Sisters, Anton LaVey, and the strange obsession humanity seems to have with people claiming they know something the rest of us don't. Then we meet the final boss. Aleister Crowley. The self-proclaimed Beast. Founder of Thelema. Occult celebrity. Professional troublemaker. Drug enthusiast. Mountain climber. Demon summoner. Sex magick practitioner. Possible spy. Walking red flag. From secret societies and desert rituals to scandal, conspiracy theories, addiction, and enough bad decisions to fuel several lifetimes, Crowley's story somehow gets more unbelievable every time you think you've reached the weirdest part. Was he a genius? A fraud? A prophet? A narcissist? A cult leader? A Victorian Florida Man with unlimited confidence and a trust fund? Grab a drink, ghosties. We're talking occult influencers, spiritual chaos, sex magick, demons, scandal, and the man newspapers once called The Wickedest Man in the World. #BrewsWithBoos #AleisterCrowley #OccultHistory #DarkHistory #Thelema #ParanormalPodcast #WeirdHistory #SexMagick #Spiritualism #PodcastLife

Someone Needed to Call CPS on the Brothers Grimm and Honestly... Everyone Else Too The Dark History of Nursery Rhymes & Fairy Tales

Krissy cracks open a beer and immediately starts asking the important questions: who looked at plague, famine, child abandonment, executions, cannibalism, babies falling out of trees, and literal murder forests and said, "Yep. Let's teach this to children." Because apparently that's exactly what humanity did. This week on Brews With Boo's, we're diving headfirst into the dark, weird, and completely unhinged origins of nursery rhymes, lullabies, and fairy tales. We're talking Ring Around the Rosie, London Bridge, Rock-a-Bye Baby, Humpty Dumpty, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and a whole bunch of songs that somehow made it into childhood despite sounding suspiciously like medieval OSHA violations. Then we crack open the Long Pour and head straight into the world of the Brothers Grimm, where Cinderella's stepsisters are cutting off body parts, Snow White's wedding reception turns into a torture chamber, Little Red Riding Hood gets eaten, Hansel and Gretel get clickbaited by a cannibal witch, and The Juniper Tree somehow manages to combine murder, cannibalism, bird revenge, and resurrection into what was apparently considered family entertainment. Along the way we'll discuss: 🍺 Why Ring Around the Rosie probably isn't about the plague 🍺 The theory that London Bridge involved human sacrifice 🍺 Why Humpty Dumpty may have been a cannon and not an egg 🍺 The horrifying versions of Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Sleeping Beauty 🍺 The real purpose of fairy tales before Disney got involved 🍺 Why medieval parents and modern parents might not be as different as we'd like to think And, as always, we'll be asking the same question over and over again: WHO APPROVED THIS SHIT? Grab a beer, an energy drink, a questionable gas station beverage, or whatever chaos fuel you're running on today and join us for an episode that proves humanity has been trauma-dumping on children through storytelling for centuries. Stay haunted, ghosties. 👻🍻📖 #BrothersGrimm #FairyTales #NurseryRhymes #DarkHistory #Folklore #TrueCrimeAdjacent #BrewsWithBoos #HistoryPodcast #DarkHumor #PodcastLife

Thomas Edison: The Pettiest Man in American History Plus the Dark Stories of Walter Freeman, Alexander Graham Bell, Fritz Haber & Henry Ford

Krissy cracks open a drink and immediately starts spiraling over a dead lightbulb, which somehow turns into a full-blown psychological breakdown about Thomas Edison. And bestie... the deeper we dug, the worse it got. This week we're talking about the man behind the lightbulb myth, the Tesla feud, the War of Currents, public animal electrocutions, propaganda campaigns, the electric chair, Hollywood accidentally existing out of spite, and why Thomas Edison may have been the pettiest man in American history. But that's not all. In this week's Fuckery Report, we're also dragging four other historical nightmares into the group chat: 🧠 Walter Freeman, the ice-pick lobotomist who absolutely should not have been allowed near human brains. ☎️ Alexander Graham Bell, who invented the telephone while simultaneously trying to erase deaf culture. ☠️ Fritz Haber, the man who helped feed half the planet and also helped invent chemical warfare. 🚗 Henry Ford, whose hobbies apparently included building cars and becoming Hitler's favorite American. So grab a drink, sit the fuck down, and prepare to lose faith in several famous men you were told to admire in school. Because the more we researched this episode, the more we realized something terrifying: The scary part isn't Thomas Edison. The scary part is that we're still making people just like him. #BrewsWithBoos #ThomasEdison #DarkHistory #NikolaTesla #HistoryPodcast #TrueCrimePodcast #FritzHaber #HenryFord #AlexanderGrahamBell #WalterFreeman

The Greatest Con on Earth: PT Barnum, Topsy the Elephant & the Dark History of the Circus

Krissy cracks open a beer and immediately realizes cotton candy is basically propaganda. 🎪🍺 This week on Brews with Boo’s, we spiral HARD into the dark history of circuses, carnivals, PT Barnum, freak shows, rigged games, exploited performers, and Topsy the elephant… aka the moment we all collectively realize The Greatest Showman conveniently left out the crimes. From Joice Heth’s horrifying exploitation to carnival scams, kidnapped sideshow performers, OSHA violations with confetti, and Edison literally electrocuting an elephant for PR, this episode turns into a full chaotic rage spiral about how America built an entertainment empire on spectacle, suffering, and people not asking too many questions. So grab your emotional support beverage and step under the tent, babes… because this one gets DARK. 🎠🐘🔥 #TrueCrimePodcast #DarkHistory #PTBarnum #CircusHistory #BrewsWithBoos
