Episode 58: The Mic That Keeps on Giving

Send us a text

Ever wonder if that karaoke microphone is harboring a secret infection? In this wildly entertaining episode, we dive into the bizarre case of a woman who claims she contracted herpes from singing her heart out at a Chinese karaoke bar. While medical experts cast doubt on her story, it opens up a fascinating conversation about disease transmission and perhaps relationship alibis gone wrong.

From strange infections to dangerous obsessions, we examine the disturbing case of a misogynist armed with a crossbow who attacked two women in Leeds before taking his own life. His plans for an "Otley Run Massacre" thankfully fell far short of his deranged ambitions, leading to a discussion about the twisted psychology behind such attacks and society's fascination with these stories.

Technology takes center stage as we unpack how artificial intelligence is transforming our world in unexpected ways. Australian radio listeners were shocked to discover their favorite host "Thye" was actually an AI creation after six months of daily broadcasts. Meanwhile, deepfake technology poses serious threats to our justice system, with experts warning that fabricated video evidence could send innocent people to prison. The recently passed "Take It Down Act" aims to criminalize deepfake revenge porn, but could it be misused by politicians to suppress criticism?

We wrap up with a journey into the world of UFO conspiracies, exploring claims that the Vatican holds secret knowledge about extraterrestrial encounters and the chilling assertion from renowned researcher Jacques Vallée that UFOs have deliberately caused human deaths. Whether you're skeptical or open-minded, these stories highlight our enduring fascination with the unknown.

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.

Episode 104: This Episode Smells Weird

This week on OK Bud, things get weird… and weirder. We kick things off with the legend of the Burbank Butt Sniffer — a mystery man with a nose for trouble and no shame in his game. Then we dive cheeks-first into the real side effects of cosmetic surgery: the unholy stank of butt implants. And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, we resurface to ask: did Ghislaine Maxwell cut a deal? Because someone’s still protecting powerful creeps, and it smells worse than silicone stew.Come for the laughs, stay for the permanent psychological damage.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

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!

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.
