Episode 7: From KKK Flyers to Weight Bias in Rideshares

Send us a text

What if the symbols of hatred are closer to home than we think? Our latest episode opens with a chilling report from eastern Tennessee, where listener Bradley alerts us to disturbing KKK-endorsed flyers. We confront the implications of these materials, potential police involvement, and the unnerving targeting of white Protestants. The conversation intensifies with a controversial statement from Donald Trump about undocumented immigrants, prompting a deep dive into the dangerous rhetoric affecting marginalized communities. Amid the gravity, we lighten the mood with an unexpected consumer alert about chocolate you won't want to miss.

Switching gears, we pose a serious question: is there a weight bias in rideshare services? A recent Lyft incident involving passenger Deja Blanding gets us talking about discrimination, body image, and societal standards. We examine the driver's refusal of service, dissecting the thin line between personal judgment and professional duty. With a touch of humor, we compare today's body image perceptions to the music industry, with shout-outs to larger-than-life figures like Dank DeMoss and Biggie Smalls, while keeping the conversation both thought-provoking and entertaining.

Lastly, we tackle the escalating tensions in school environments—raising questions about safety and support systems. From a Texas teacher dodging a flying chair to chaotic school parties in Florida, we highlight the unexpected trials educators face. The intrigue grows with mysterious "Help Trafico" signs appearing in Los Angeles. Initially linked to human trafficking, we uncover their true connection to community displacement issues. With each story, we shine a light on the untold challenges and complexities within our schools and communities.

Episode 108: Is that a Boob In Your Ribs, Or...?

Episode 108: Is that a Boob In Your Ribs, Or...?

Today on OK Bud, we’re digging deep into the headlines no one asked for — starting with Nikki Bella’s rogue breast implant, which somehow ended up lodged between her ribs like a tiny silicone stowaway. Then we meet a woman who stole a car and might’ve gotten away with it... if she hadn’t confessed to the entire crime in her diary like it was the fourth grade. And finally, South African scientists are irradiating rhino horns to fight poachers — because nothing says conservation like radioactive wildlife.Implants, impulse control, and irradiated justice — just another day in the Budverse.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 107: Farm to Toilet

Today on OK Bud, we peel back the wild, weird origin of the potato — a humble starch with a colonial past and way too much drama. Then we dive headfirst into the very real case of a woman who chose coffee enemas over cancer treatment… and paid the ultimate price for trying to poop out a tumor. Finally, we head into the woods to talk about the capture of the Devil’s Den killer, a man who proved once again that nothing good ever happens near a place called Devil’s Den.Taters, turds, and true crime — just how grandma never wanted it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 106: Your Pug is Too Damn Fat

Today the Buds dissect the internet pile‑on over a Sydney Sweeney/American Eagle promo that some corners of the web decided looked… historically yikes. We sort rumor from reality and ask why the timeline keeps cosplaying as the outrage Olympics. Then: America’s obese dog epidemic—how our fur babies became fur boulders (and what actually helps). Finally, a woman gets ghosted by her AI boyfriend while juggling a real boyfriend in Rome—proof that even robots need “space.” It’s brand safety meets belly rubs meets binary heartbreak, all in one cursed carousel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 105: Yankee Doodle Doin' It

OK Bud Episode 105 is a grab bag of American nightmares. First, we head to a wholesome local fair where things go completely Final Destination — and someone literally gets scalped by a carnival ride. Then we swing over to Yankee Stadium, where one couple decided 9 innings wasn’t enough... so they added a public sex act to the scorecard during a Yankees-Phillies game. Finally, things take a dark nosedive as we cover a chilling case involving a 30-year-old man, his 22-year-old girlfriend, and her 68-year-old friend — and the brutal double murder that followed.It’s small-town horror, ballpark debauchery, and a double dose of true crime chaos. Just your classic Bud behavior.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 104: This Episode Smells Weird

This week on OK Bud, things get weird… and weirder. We kick things off with the legend of the Burbank Butt Sniffer — a mystery man with a nose for trouble and no shame in his game. Then we dive cheeks-first into the real side effects of cosmetic surgery: the unholy stank of butt implants. And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, we resurface to ask: did Ghislaine Maxwell cut a deal? Because someone’s still protecting powerful creeps, and it smells worse than silicone stew.Come for the laughs, stay for the permanent psychological damage.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 103: Porta-Parties and The Burger King Lettuce Stomper

In this week’s unhinged installment of OK Bud, we wade into the deep end of internet rot and pop culture madness. First up: Russia has invented a new kind of party — and it involves porta potties, dancing, and deeply concerning life choices. Then we get blue in the face over a theory that the Smurfs are actually pushing some seriously problematic messaging (yeah, that kind of problematic). And finally, we mourn (sort of) the bizarre death of the Burger King “lettuce stomper” — the guy who went viral for stepping on fast food, now found dead under grim circumstances.Poop raves, cartoon conspiracies, and a cautionary tale about clout — just another OK Bud Thursday.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 101: Happy Birthday Ben!

It’s Ben Kissel’s birthday, and the OK Bud crew just got back from a BBQ-fueled weekend in the strange and sandy outpost of Pioneertown, California. After digesting enough tri-tip to sedate a bull, we dive headfirst into the kind of stories that haunt your group chat: a premeditated murder with major “they planned this in a Chili’s parking lot” energy, the shocking truth behind the infamous McDonald’s coffee burn case (she wasn’t being dramatic — she was being cooked), and a chilling update on the man who brought a 20-pound chain into an MRI machine and learned the hard way about physics.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
