Buzzed and Baffled

This week on Buzzed & Baffled, we’re shaking things up with a double-feature! Kyla and Nicole both take the storytelling reins, bringing you the bizarre tale of James Scott and his legendary mullet from Quincy, Illinois, alongside the unforgettable story of Tommy McHugh.

There are questionable decisions, unexpected twists, and absolutely no shortage of chaos—but the real mystery is why Kyla is so deeply, irrationally terrified of the bathroom. Grab your wine, lock the bathroom door (Kyla’s request), and settle in for another episode of Buzzed & Baffled!

What happens when you give Nicole the power? Absolutely nothing good.

Episode 68 asks the question nobody should ever ask: What if Nicole was in charge? From questionable decisions to dangerously confident leadership, we explore a world where Nicole gets to call the shots—and Kyla is forced to live with the consequences.

Pour yourself a glass of wine, lower your expectations, and whatever you do… don’t test this theory.

This week on Buzzed & Baffled, we’re diving into the disturbing story of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka—a case so horrifying that Kyla has decided it’s finally time to steal Nicole’s crown for Worst Story. Along the way, Kyla gets to talk about a few of her favorite things—because apparently we haven’t suffered enough—and Nicole is left trying to remember the last line that closes out the podcast. Grab your wine, steel your nerves, and prepare for an episode that may finally crown Kyla as the queen of terrible stories.

Remember sick days as a kid? Pajamas, a blanket, a bowl of soup, and The Price Is Right with Bob Barker cheerfully yelling “Come on down!” Well, Nicole has decided those wholesome childhood memories have lasted long enough.

This week on Buzzed & Baffled, we’re taking a closer look at the life, career, and stranger-than-you-might-expect world of Bob Barker. So grab a glass of wine, prepare to have your nostalgia aggressively interrogated, and join us as Nicole attempts to ruin one more perfectly good childhood memory.

Come on down! The childhood trauma is already waiting.

Episode 65 takes a trip through the fascinating and often bizarre history of LSD research, from groundbreaking science to some truly questionable decisions. Along the way, Kyla wages an unwinnable war against the word "hallucinogens," while Nicole desperately tries to keep the technology from having its own psychedelic episode. As always, expect laughs, chaos, and a story that's stranger than fiction.

Welcome back to Buzzed & Baffled! Today, the council has officially expanded. Nicole and Kyla have recruited two brave—or perhaps deeply misguided—volunteers to help settle the internet's biggest debates.

Joining us are Andrew and Lindsey, our newest witnesses to the chaos. Together, the four of us are diving into our favorite pop culture moments, defending some questionable choices, roasting each other's picks, and proving that confidence is far more important than actual expertise.

So pour yourself a drink, pull up a chair to the council, and remember: no credentials were required to be here… and it shows.

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 unbelievable story of the Pepsi Points Jet—a tale of marketing, ambition, corporate lawyers, and one question that still makes people laugh decades later: If a company promises you a fighter jet, can you actually make them deliver?

Pour yourself a glass, crack open your favorite beverage (Pepsi or otherwise), and join us as we dive into one of the strangest lawsuits ever inspired by a commercial. It's a story that's equal parts brilliant, absurd, and a reminder to always read the fine print... or make sure there is some.

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.
