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.

Fasten your seatbelts, because Episode 40 takes a sharp turn into true-crime turbulence. On Buzzed & Baffled, we’re pouring a glass and diving into the history of flight attendants — the glam, the grit, and the rules that were downright unhinged — before circling around one of the most infamous aviation-adjacent cases: the murder of Helle Crafts. No details ruined, just enough intrigue to make you lean back in your seat and whisper, wait… what?! It’s wine, wings, and a case that forever changed how crimes could quite literally disappear.

Cabin doors are closing. 🍷✈️🧳

This week on Buzzed & Baffled, we’re talking about a story that sounds like it cannot be real—and yet somehow is. It’s got small-town vibes, trusted adults, crossed boundaries, and enough red flags to stock a Home Depot.

We’re diving into the case of Jan Broberg: a story that forces you to sit with some deeply uncomfortable questions about trust, manipulation, and how adults can fail kids in ways that are almost impossible to comprehend. It’s unsettling, confusing, and honestly… baffling.

So pour yourself a glass of wine (you’re gonna need it), settle in, and prepare to repeatedly say, “Wait… WHAT?” Because this is one of those episodes where the more you learn, the less sense it makes.

Welcome back to Buzzed & Baffled, where the wine is flowing, the snacks are questionable, and the stories are… deeply unsettling. 🍷🔥

This week, we’re cracking open a bottle, nuking a couple of Hot Pockets, and tiptoeing into a case that proves nature is not always your friend. Episode 38 dives into the twisted world of Matthew Hoffman—a story that seems quiet on the surface, almost outdoorsy… until you realize the leaves might be hiding more than just bugs. 🍃

What starts with something missing quickly spirals into something wrong, and by the time the crumbs hit the plate, you’ll never look at a pile of leaves the same way again. So grab your wine, guard your Hot Pockets, and prepare to be buzzed, baffled, and mildly suspicious of fall decor.

Let’s get into it.

What could possibly go wrong with a medical device designed to sit inside the human body for years?

As it turns out… a lot.

Today’s episode unpacks the history of IUDs and the infamous Dalkon Shield—a device once marketed as revolutionary and later recognized as one of the most dangerous medical failures in reproductive healthcare. Buckle up, because this one is as baffling as it is important.

Welcome back to Buzzed & Baffled. Tonight, we’re pairing a glass of wine with a name synonymous with power, privilege, and prestige: Clark Rockefeller. But as the wine opens up, so does a story filled with secrets, control, and a reality far more unsettling than appearances suggest. Trust us—you’re going to want a full pour for this one.
