Could our entire reality be nothing more than an elaborate computer program? Physics professor Melvin Vopson thinks so, and his theory that gravity represents the universe compressing data like a computer might just change how you view everything around you.

We kick things off with some bizarre updates that make you question what's real—a Michael Jordan-shaped Cheeto selling for over $8,000, the tragic and unexpected passing of Jiggly Caliente from RuPaul's Drag Race, and truly strange airplane incidents featuring passengers having breakdowns at 30,000 feet. The increasingly weird stories almost seem like glitches in our supposed simulation.

The heart of our conversation explores Vopson's revolutionary paper proposing that gravity isn't just a fundamental force pulling objects together, but rather the universe's method of organizing information efficiently. Just as computers compress files to save space, Vopson suggests the universe pulls objects with mass together to optimize its computational resources. This theory transforms how we understand physical laws—what if everything from galaxy formation to planetary motion is simply the universe keeping its data organized?

Whether you find the simulation hypothesis comforting or terrifying, it raises profound questions about free will, consciousness, and what it means to exist. After all, if our reality is programmed, are our choices truly our own? As we discuss the philosophical implications, we can't help but wonder if somewhere, someone or something is watching our simulated lives unfold—perhaps even laughing at the bizarre stories we cover each episode.

Episode 71: Diddy's Worst Crime?

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.
