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 71: Diddy's Worst Crime?

Buckle up, Buds — this week we’re diving headfirst into the swirling scandal tornado surrounding none other than Sean “Diddy” Combs. The Bad Boy mogul is no stranger to controversy, but recent allegations have folks wondering: has Diddy finally danced his way into real trouble?We break down the accusations, the internet chaos, the FBI raid that felt like an episode of Narcos, and whether Diddy’s worst crime might actually be... that 2016 "Come to Me" video. (Kidding. Sort of.)With our signature mix of facts, wild theories, and questionable impressions, we unpack how power and celebrity can blur the lines of accountability. Oh, and we ask the real hard-hitting question: Where is Danity Kane in all of this?🎧 Press play to hear: What went down at Diddy’s mansion (hint: it wasn't a pool party) The weirdest conspiracy theories the internet’s cooked up How cancel culture works when the person has a private jet And whether Diddy’s next collab will be... with a defense attorney All that and more in this week’s explosive (and occasionally ridiculous) episode of OK Bud! with Ben Kissel, Jerii Aquino and Kyle PloofSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
