Few joys in life match a breezy summer night gossiping with good friends over cold drinks. And in this first-ever “Happy Hour” special episode, that’s what we’ve got for you.

Our stories:
"Selling Sunset" star tied to landlord who tried to burn tenants out.
Secret stories of the gun industry and the U.S. government.
A short and expensive history of San Diego desalination.
How the Fat Leonard scandal that blew a hole in the U.S. Navy.
