This week, Amber covers the story of the Papin sisters. Christine and Léa Papin  were two French sisters who worked together as live-in maids. They were convicted of murdering their employer's wife and daughter in Le Mans, France on February 2, 1933.

Amber was drinking a 2019 French Vin Rouge from Chene Sage.  She only had compliments for it.`

Then Erika covers US Airways Flight 1549. This is a story of a e heroic water landing.  Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles knew they were in trouble when a flock of Canadian geese flew straight into the plane and took out both engines.  So, all decisions from that point on were a life and death situation for not only them and their crew but also the 150 passengers on board

 Erika was drinking  a Pinot Grigio from Barefoot. We all know she doesn't mind it, since she literally seems to drink it all the time.

Then Amber covers the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Jiles Perry Richardson AKA The Big Bopper and Richard Steven Valenzuela AKA Ritchie Valens. It was the coldest winter on record in the Midwest in February of 1959, when Buddy Holly toured with The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens for the Winter Dance Party Tour. After multiple problems with their tour bus, a brutal schedule and freezing  conditions, Buddy decided that he had enough and chartered a plane to take them from Clear Lake, Iowa to Fargo, North Dakota. This would be a decision that would change the course of music history.

Amber was drinking a Portugal Red Blend from Casa Santos Lima, and she really enjoyed it.

Then Amber takes you down a dark path of mental health treatments and facilities throughout history. From ice baths, to lobotomies, straight jackets and unqualified staff; it is good to see how far we have come in this country. We still have a long way to go, but maybe this will help us all to recognize the progress.

Amber was still not feeling well, so she was having plain old coffee.

This week Erika covers the gruesome murders of the Beauty Queen Killer.  Christopher Bernard Wilder was born in Australia in 1945 and began his horrible kidnapping, rape, torture and murder killing spree in 1963 that would continue till 1984.  He would commit some of these crimes in Australia and then relocate to the US, where a    six-week cross-country crime spree took place. His killings would only end, after he was killed in New Hampshire on April 13, 1984.

Erika was drinking a Chardonnay from Bota Box.  Everything was fine until Amber decided to lose her shit, due to the box being almost empty, so all I brought into recording was what was left in the bag, that contains the wine within the box.  I really don’t think it was that big of a deal, but she apparently did!  It’s a pretty good wine, even if it does come in a bag/box.

Then Amber covers The Hatman. The Hatman is a shadow figure that witnesses report typically seeing while experiencing sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. It occurs when a person passes through stages of wakefulness and sleep. Your mind is awake, but your body isn't. Sleep paralysis is common and can be explained with science; but what can't be explained is why so many people see a tall dark figure in a fedora and a trench coat while experiencing sleep paralysis.

Amber was drinking a 2019 Red from Perimetro from Spain, she really enjoyed it.

Then Erika covers  the Bennington Triangle. From 1945 to 1950 in a Southwestern area of Vermont centered mostly in the area of Glastenbury Mountain, there were 6 mysterious disappearances.  The 6 people have no connections to each other and most were doing different things before they disappeared.  2 were hiking along the Long Trail, 1 was walking home after being at the bar, 1 was on a local bus, 1 was waiting for pigs to be fed and the last was meant to be hiking but instead disappeared on her way to change clothes.  Listen in while Erika shares the mysterious circumstances of the Bennington Triangle.

Erika was drinking a 2019 white from Pietre Di Vetro, Trebbiano - Del Rubicone. It was really good, citrusy and light.

Then Amber covers the Mandela Effect. "The Mandela Effect refers to a situation in which a large mass of people believes that an event occurred when it did not." There are scientific explanations as to why this happens, as well as the more logical explanation which is that we are living in a simulation.  Amber will go over a few of the most popular pop culture examples and quiz Erika to find out if she too has been inflicted with the Mandela effect.

Amber was drinking a South Eastern Australian Red from 'Alinta Ranch'.  She really enjoyed it!

Yates also confessed to two murders committed in Walla Walla in 1975 and a 1988 murder committed in Skagit County. Robert Yates lead what seemed to be a normal life and target women in the sex work industry; because of this, he got away with his crimes for years.

Then Erika covers the kidnapping of Patricia "Patty" Hearst.  Patricia is the granddaughter of the American publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst.  In 1974, she gets kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army or the SLA.  What she does while being held captive is what’s up for interpretation.  Was she forced into partaking in some serious crimes, or did she participate willingly?

Erika was drinking a 2010 Reserve Chardonnay from Akiyoshi.  Super tasty and refreshing!
