Episode 49: When Tampering With Someone's Lunch Goes Too Far

Send us a text

What drives a Wisconsin teenager to murder his parents in a twisted plan to assassinate a former president? How does comedy legend Rosie O'Donnell form an unlikely bond with convicted murderer Lyle Menendez? When does aggressive basketball play cross the line into criminal assault?

The OK Bud podcast tackles these mind-bending questions head-on as hosts Ben Kissel, Jerry Aquino, and Kyle Plouffe navigate through the strangest headlines they've encountered lately. From the 17-year-old who allegedly killed his mother and stepfather to fund an assassination plot against Donald Trump (complete with disturbing neo-Nazi connections), to the helicopter tour company offering massive discounts after a fatal crash, the crew explores the darkest corners of human behavior with their signature mix of shock, humor, and unexpected insight.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when they discuss Rosie O'Donnell's years-long friendship with Lyle Menendez, revealing how shared trauma created an unexpected bond between the comedian and the convicted murderer. Meanwhile, a high school basketball player faces adult felony charges for breaking an opponent's nose during a game, sparking debate about where we draw the legal line in competitive sports.

Perhaps most relatable is the tale of an apprentice mechanic who threatened to mess with a coworker's toolbox after someone tampered with his lunch, leading to his dismissal and a workplace "tribunal" that feels straight out of a sitcom. Through it all, the hosts bring their trademark perspective to these bizarre stories, reminding us that sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction.
