Episode 43 was a little bit of a disaster but we got our shit together. Episode 43 takes us to California, where optimism, ambition, and a whole lot of confidence collide with catastrophic reality. This week, we’re talking about the St. Francis Dam—a structure built to secure the future and instead unleashed one of the deadliest man-made disasters in U.S. history.

We’ve got rushed decisions, ignored warning signs, powerful egos (looking at you, William Mulholland), and a failure so massive it reshaped engineering forever. So pour a glass, brace yourself, and join us as we unpack how one dam damn near destroyed entire communities—and why this disaster still matters today.

Welcome back to Buzzed & Baffled, where the wine is vintage and the facts are… surprisingly bird-heavy. This week, Episode 42 is for Nicole, because we’re talking about her favorite avian icon: crows.

We’re sipping on a 2009 vintage—aged, mysterious, and a little unhinged—while diving into the incredible story of Canuck the crow, a bird so smart, chaotic, and iconic he honestly feels fake (but absolutely isn’t). From crow intelligence to one very famous feathered troublemaker, this episode proves once and for all that crows are watching us… and probably judging our wine choices.

Pour a glass, embrace the ominous vibes, and get ready to be baffled by a bird.

This week on Buzzed & Baffled, we’re diving headfirst into a time when childhood meant less playground and more peril. We’re talking chimney sweeps crawling through soot-filled death traps, the Abernathy brothers setting off on a “boys will be boys” adventure that absolutely should not have happened, and—Kyla’s favorite topic—good old-fashioned child labor.

It’s grit, it’s grime, it’s wildly unsafe, and somehow people really thought this was character-building. So pour a glass, prepare to be horrified, and join us as we unpack the baffling history of letting kids do the most unhinged jobs imaginable.
