Episode 48: Is That Really Your Family?!

Send us a text

A helicopter ride over New York City ended in tragedy when the aircraft's "Jesus nut" failed, sending the cabin plummeting into the Hudson River and killing six tourists from Spain. We unpack the disturbing mechanical simplicity behind this catastrophic failure and why, despite strict NYC regulations, tourist helicopter experiences remain dangerously unregulated.

When an eyebrow-shaving prank spirals into murder, we're left pondering the fragility of human temperament. David Eaton's decision to shave Matthew Higgins' eyebrow while he slept at a party triggered a chain of events that ultimately led to Higgins stabbing Eaton twice in the heart. The British court case reveals the shocking escalation from harmless joke to deadly violence, reminding us that everyone has limits – and some people's limits are terrifyingly close to the surface.

Former UFC champion BJ Penn's recent Instagram posts claiming his family members have been "murdered and replaced by imposters" opens a window into the rare but real condition called Capgras Syndrome. We explore how years of head trauma from fighting may contribute to this delusional disorder, where loved ones are perceived as identical-looking strangers. Meanwhile, alleged sightings of the Headless Horseman on CCTV in Mexico and a supposed chupacabra in Colorado (likely just an injured animal) demonstrate our enduring fascination with cryptids and the supernatural.

The episode wraps with analysis of new military footage showing "tic-tac" UFOs emerging from the Pacific Ocean near a US Naval vessel – objects that moved with impossible speed and disappeared from radar within seconds. Why are these sightings becoming more common, and why does official acknowledgment of these phenomena continue to increase?

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

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 102: RIP Ozzy Osbourne

Is Ozzy Osbourne finally headbanging in the afterlife? The OK Bud crew digs into breaking news around the death of the Prince of Darkness . Then we take a hard left into the next realm, where one woman claims she saw glowing blue fish people during her near-death experience (and no, she wasn’t on mushrooms). Finally, we get into the real nightmare: serial killer Robert Pickton — the Canadian pig farmer whose crimes are more disturbing than most people remember.From rock legends to reptilian hallucinations to the darkest corners of true crime, it’s another weird ride with your favorite Buds.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!

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.
