Episode 57: Hot Snakes on a Plane

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 112: From Arrests to Breasts

Episode 112: From Arrests to Breasts

Today on OK Bud, we venture to Brooklyn at an ice cream parlor serving a breastmilk-flavored ice cream, because apparently we’ve run out of normal flavors. Then we head to NYC where a kidnapper was caught and immediately begged police to let him talk to his mom — proving some people never outgrow the playground. Finally, we wrap up in midair with a woman who grounded an entire flight after she destroyed the bathroom from food poisoning, making her the unofficial worst passenger of the year.It’s dairy, despair, and diarrhea — all in one sweet, disgusting scoop.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 111: Cancer, Crypto and the Family Tree You Shouldn't Have Climbed

Episode 111: Cancer, Crypto and the Family Tree You Shouldn't Have Climbed

Today’s episode of OK Bud is one for the hall of shame. First, we meet a British man who claims he got throat cancer from oral sex — which is basically the plot of a health PSA that writes itself. Then things get really Arkansas when a mother and son duo are arrested for full-on incest, reminding us all that DNA is not an aphrodisiac. And finally, a crypto bro comes forward to proudly take credit for throwing sex toys onto the court at WNBA games — because the blockchain wasn’t cringe enough already.Oral mishaps, bloodline disasters, and blockchain pervs — just another day in the Bud Zone™.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 110: Grimace's Truth

Episode 110: Grimace's Truth

Today, OK Bud dives straight into the absurd. First up: the internet lost its collective mind when it was confirmed that Grimace is actually a giant purple taste bud — which somehow raises more questions than it answers. Then we head to Italy, where people are renting storage containers for sex like it’s a deleted scene from Fast & the Furiously Horny. And finally, Las Vegas casinos are now taking bets on the color of the next sex toy to be thrown at a WNBA game — because sports are beautiful, and so is chaos.It’s flavor, fornication, and fully legal gambling on flying rubber. Welcome to America (and Italy!).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 109: Courtside to Court Dates

Episode 109: Courtside to Court Dates

Today on OK Bud, the chaos is nothing but net. First, the sex toy bandits strike again — this time at their second WNBA game, because apparently one heist just wasn’t enough. Then we head to Wembley Stadium, where an Oasis concert took a dive when one fan literally fell off a balcony — in the same week the Gallagher brothers’ older brother, Paul, was arrested for sex crimes. And finally, we wrap things up with the story of Michael Jackson’s dirty sock selling for $9,000 — proof that pop culture memorabilia has no shame.Basketballs, balconies, and bad laundry — it’s a full-court mess.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 108: Is that a Boob In Your Ribs, Or...?

Episode 108: Is that a Boob In Your Ribs, Or...?

Today on OK Bud, we’re digging deep into the headlines no one asked for — starting with Nikki Bella’s rogue breast implant, which somehow ended up lodged between her ribs like a tiny silicone stowaway. Then we meet a woman who stole a car and might’ve gotten away with it... if she hadn’t confessed to the entire crime in her diary like it was the fourth grade. And finally, South African scientists are irradiating rhino horns to fight poachers — because nothing says conservation like radioactive wildlife.Implants, impulse control, and irradiated justice — just another day in the Budverse.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 107: Farm to Toilet

Episode 107: Farm to Toilet

Today on OK Bud, we peel back the wild, weird origin of the potato — a humble starch with a colonial past and way too much drama. Then we dive headfirst into the very real case of a woman who chose coffee enemas over cancer treatment… and paid the ultimate price for trying to poop out a tumor. Finally, we head into the woods to talk about the capture of the Devil’s Den killer, a man who proved once again that nothing good ever happens near a place called Devil’s Den.Taters, turds, and true crime — just how grandma never wanted it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 106: Your Pug is Too Damn Fat

Episode 106: Your Pug is Too Damn Fat

Today the Buds dissect the internet pile‑on over a Sydney Sweeney/American Eagle promo that some corners of the web decided looked… historically yikes. We sort rumor from reality and ask why the timeline keeps cosplaying as the outrage Olympics. Then: America’s obese dog epidemic—how our fur babies became fur boulders (and what actually helps). Finally, a woman gets ghosted by her AI boyfriend while juggling a real boyfriend in Rome—proof that even robots need “space.” It’s brand safety meets belly rubs meets binary heartbreak, all in one cursed carousel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 105: Yankee Doodle Doin' It

Episode 105: Yankee Doodle Doin' It

OK Bud Episode 105 is a grab bag of American nightmares. First, we head to a wholesome local fair where things go completely Final Destination — and someone literally gets scalped by a carnival ride. Then we swing over to Yankee Stadium, where one couple decided 9 innings wasn’t enough... so they added a public sex act to the scorecard during a Yankees-Phillies game. Finally, things take a dark nosedive as we cover a chilling case involving a 30-year-old man, his 22-year-old girlfriend, and her 68-year-old friend — and the brutal double murder that followed.It’s small-town horror, ballpark debauchery, and a double dose of true crime chaos. Just your classic Bud behavior.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
