Episode 43: You Smell Farts With Your Mouth (And Other Uncomfortable Truths)

Send us a textSomething's deeply wrong with our justice system when a British serial killer goes on hunger strike because prison officials took away his PlayStation, while an NYPD detective gets pulled from active duty for dancing in a music video on her own time.Robert Moudsley, the 71-year-old "Hannibal the Cannibal," has spent 49 years behind bars for killing four people and allegedly eating part of a victim's brain. Yet until recently, he enjoyed video games, books, and a music system in his special prison-within-a-prison cell. Meanwhile, Detective Melissa Mercado found herself removed from the Special Victims Unit for the "morally wrong" act of appearing in a hip-hop video where she danced on a pole—a decision that's left real victims without her expertise.The conversation takes a darker turn with the story of a Wisconsin teen who murdered his mother after watching a Menendez brothers documentary, claiming "pain" as his only motive. In a bizarre counterpoint, we explore another Wisconsin tale—this time of a four-year-old who called 911 because his mother ate "his" ice cream, only to be rewarded by officers who brought him more ice cream the following day. The hosts debate the long-term consequences of teaching children that snitching pays off, especially with sprinkles.Before wrapping up, we venture to Australia where a pizza chain called Bubba Pizza has created an unholy abomination—ham and orange pizza—sparking fierce debate about where society should draw its culinary boundaries. Because apparently, some lines simply shouldn't be crossed.Drop us an email at okbudpod@gmail.com or support us on Patreon.com/DieBud for $10 a month to watch episodes live and become part of the conversation!Support the showSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
