Buzzed and Baffled
Two friends drink and do blind reactions to topics and stories.
Episodes
The 1990s were full of outrageous commercials, but one of them accidentally launched one of the most memorable legal battles in advertising history. What started as a tongue-in-cheek television ad promising a military Harrier jet for 7 million Pepsi Points became a real challenge when one determined college student decided to hold Pepsi to its word.
This week, Kyla tells the unbelie...
This Fourth of July, we’re honoring independence in all forms. The founding fathers wrote declarations. Boudica raised an army. The women using Aqua Tofana said… ‘I am no longer asking for permission.’”
“That’s right—today’s episode is brought to you by feminine rage, revenge, and probably several red flags.
Welcome back to Buzzed and Baffled, the podcast where we drink wine, tell wild stories, and occasionally disappear for a week because Nicole’s immune system decided to stage a hostile takeover. But she survived… barely. We’re back, the microphones are on, Kyla still has opinions no one asked for, and somehow the crown remains in circulation.
After our brief medically-spo...
Here’s a playful Buzzed and Baffled intro for Episode 60 on Michael Rockefeller with a Kyla joke baked in:
“Welcome back to Buzzed and Baffled, the podcast where we drink wine, tell wild stories, and somehow always end up questioning humanity. I’m Nicole—keeping the volume high and the editing questionable.
And I’m Kyla—still wearing the crown, still suspicious of Nicole, and still deeply passion...
This week, we're digging up the story of Belle Gunness—the seemingly ordinary farm widow who may have turned her Indiana property into one of America's most prolific murder scenes.
Belle promised lonely hearts love, companionship, and a fresh start. What many of them got instead was a one-way trip to her farm and a suspiciously timed disappearance. Was she a ruthless serial ki...
In 1665, a small English village made a decision that would echo through history. When the bubonic plague arrived in the village of Eyam, carried in a shipment of cloth from London, the residents faced an impossible choice: flee and risk spreading the disease, or stay and face it together.
In this episode, Nicole has graciously decided to let Kyla keep the crown for one more week. Not because Kyla ea...
In Episode 57 Kyla is coming for Nicole's crown for "Worst Story". m
Bruce wasn’t your typical serial killer mastermind. He was less “criminal genius” and more “guy who definitely owns a van with extension cords in it.” The kind of man where, if he offered you a drink, you suddenly remembered you had somewhere else to be for the rest of your life.
And the wildest part? He might have gotten away with ev...
Kyla’s starting to notice a pattern: somehow her episodes are always the ones that get “lost.” Corrupted audio. Missing files. “Technical difficulties.” Very convenient. This week, while Kyla launches a full internal investigation into possible podcast sabotage, we unpack the chaotic saga of Brittany Dawn — from fitness influencer fame to lawsuit fallout to the world’s fastest influencer re...
Episode 55 is officially un-lost. . . again?
After being buried deeper than a bootleg bottle in a Chicago basement, this long-forgotten episode has resurfaced—and just in time for one of the most infamous bloodbaths in true crime history: the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. We’re talking gangsters, machine guns, bad decisions, and even worse disguises.
Welcome back to the podcast—where history gets messy, science gets questionable, and Kyla somehow finds a way to bring it all back to eugenics…again.
Today’s episode has everything: Victorian-era pseudoscience, a guy who thought measuring skulls was a personality test, and a modern-day conspiracy enthusiast who said, “yeah, I’ll have what he’s having.” We’re talking about Sir Francis...
Episode 53 drops you straight into the chilling reality of Chernobyl disaster—a night where routine testing spiraled into one of the worst nuclear catastrophes in history. We’ll get into what actually happened inside Reactor No. 4, the human errors and design flaws that turned a test into an explosion, and the devastating aftermath that spread far beyond Chernobyl. Expect eerie details, heartbreaking stories, and the ki...
Episode 52, and we’re headed to Wisconsin—because nothing says “things are going great” quite like a rogue wallaby on the loose. Yes, today we’re talking about Chesney the Wallaby, a marsupial who woke up one day and said, “actually… I’m done with captivity” and just ✨left✨.
Now, before you think this is just a quirky animal story, let’s be...
Episode 51 dives into one of the strangest, most chaotic real-life investigations you’ve probably never heard of—featuring Sam Lipman-Stern and Pat Pespas.
What started as two coworkers at a sketchy telemarketing company turned into a decades-long mission to expose a massive scam hiding in plain sight. Working out of a call center packed with ex-cons, addicts, and absolute mayhem, they realized the money they were raisi...
Episode 50—can you believe we made it this far without completely getting canceled?
Today, Nicole takes the wheel and oh… she chose chaos. We’re diving into the wild and deeply unsettling story of Samantha Azzopardi—a case that is equal parts confusing, tragic, and “wait… what is actually happening?”
And Kyla? You can relax. For once, this is not your fault. Nicole is officially coming fo...
Episode 49 and—everyone stay calm—Kyla has officially done it: she’s picked a story that is not about eugenics. We didn’t think we’d see the day, but personal growth is real, and we’re proud… and also a little suspicious.
This week, we’re heading to Wisconsin to talk about the mysterious and unsettling death of funeral director Dan O’Connell—a case that is equal parts biz...
Welcome back to Episode 48—where chaos has a name, and apparently, it’s Ken.
Today, we’re diving into the legendary story of Ken Allen—the world’s most charming escape artist, a primate with a knack for breaking out and absolutely refusing to be contained (emotionally or physically).
But that’s not the only Ken in today’s episode… because Nicole also has a dad named Ken, and while we...
Welcome back! In Episode 47 we’re heading to Battle Creek, Michigan—where breakfast was never just the most important meal of the day… it was a full-blown family feud. Today we’re diving into the dramatic, petty, and surprisingly weird rivalry between brothers John Harvey Kellogg and Will Keith Kellogg.
What started as a shared mission for health, wellness, and a little thing called corn flakes quickly turn...
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.
...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 ...
