  • Episode 46: Little Lies, Big Body Count
    Mar 8 2026

    In Episode 46 on Buzzed & Baffled, Nicole and Kyla pour a glass and dive into a story that’s as unsettling as it is unbelievable. For decades, one man drifted from city to city, leaving behind a trail of mysteries that went unnoticed for far too long. It’s a case that stretches across the country, spans years, and raises a lot of uncomfortable questions about how someone could hide in plain sight for so long.

    With a little wine and a lot of bafflement, the two unravel how investigators finally began piecing together a puzzle that had been scattered for decades. It’s a story about overlooked victims, shocking confessions, and a case that turned out to be much bigger than anyone expected.

    So grab a drink, settle in, and prepare to be equal parts buzzed and baffled. 🍷

  • Episode 45: Built to Care, Left to Decay: Sonoma’s Institutional Past
    Mar 1 2026

    Today we’re heading to Northern California to talk about a place that was built with big promises, serious intentions, and a legacy that still lingers—Sonoma Developmental Center.

    At first glance, it looks like a quiet, almost picturesque campus tucked into wine country. But behind the manicured grounds and official mission statements is a complicated story shaped by its era, its ideals, and the people whose lives were lived almost entirely within its walls.

    This episode isn’t about shock value or easy answers—it’s about context, history, and asking the kinds of questions that make you pause mid-sip and say, “Wait… what?” So pour yourself a glass, get comfortable, and let’s unpack a chapter of California history that’s far more layered than it seems.

    Cheers—let’s get into it. 🍷

  • Episode 44: Two Glasses Deep on Napa
    Feb 27 2026
    Episode 44 was almost a logistical nightmare. Delayed plans, travel drama, and at least one moment where Kyla and Nicole seriously questioned all their life choices. But Napa? Napa still delivered. After fighting their way there, the girls landed at Castello di Amorosa, where the vibes were immaculate, the wine was flowing, and suddenly everything was right with the world. This episode is proof that sometimes the journey is trash—but the destination is wine, castles, and the absolute best time. 🍷🏰

  • Episode 43: Damn It Mulholland . . .
    Feb 15 2026

    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.

    🍷💥

  • Episode 42: A Corvid Curiosity
    Feb 8 2026

    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.

  • Episode 41: No OSHA, No Parents, No Notes
    Feb 2 2026

    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.

  • Episode 40: Fragments of the Truth
    Jan 26 2026

    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. 🍷✈️🧳

  • Episode 39: A Predator with a Permission Slip
    Jan 19 2026

    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.
