Episode 47: Bears, Bullets, and Bratwursts. Oh My!

Send us a text

A restored Paddington statue, an autism defense for a killer, execution complications, and nightclub disaster survivors make up just a portion of this jam-packed episode where the unexpected becomes the norm.

The hosts kick things off with the lighthearted story of Paddington the Bear's statue making a triumphant return after being vandalized, complete with his signature sandwich and a ceremonial unveiling that brings smiles all around. But the mood shifts as they examine Brian Koberger's defense team's controversial strategy of claiming his autism diagnosis should exempt him from the death penalty—a tactic quickly shut down by the judge.

Death row makes another appearance as we hear about a convicted Florida killer who claimed his obesity and sciatica should prevent his execution. The hosts explore the dark irony that his victim was killed while simply trying to eat lunch, while he enjoyed an elaborate final meal before meeting his fate with a lethal injection. The combination of tragedy and absurdity showcases the podcast's ability to find the strange nuances in even the darkest stories.

The conversation takes a somber turn with coverage of the devastating nightclub disaster in the Dominican Republic that claimed approximately 200 lives when a roof collapsed during a performance. Through eyewitness accounts and emergency response details, the hosts paint a vivid picture of the tragedy while honoring the victims who were simply trying to enjoy a night out.

From life-or-death situations, the podcast pivots to explore something more relatable—when Americans begin to panic about their phone batteries dying. The surprising survey results reveal generational differences in technology dependence, with younger people experiencing anxiety at much higher battery percentages than their older counterparts.

Finally, two bizarre crime stories round out the episode: a Minnesota woman whose journal entry "totally stole a car today" led to her arrest, and the shocking incident involving the wife of Weezer's bassist who allegedly fired at police officers outside her Eagle Rock home.

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.
