Episode 63: Widow's Fire and Dum Dums

Send us a text

The world keeps getting weirder, and we're here to make sense of it all. From supernatural encounters to technological controversies, this episode explores the bizarre landscape of human experience in the digital age.

We start with the peculiar case of a 75-year-old Long Island widower found with 100 dead cats in his basement. Is this a criminal deserving punishment or an elderly man suffering from mental illness? The lines blur as we examine the circumstances around his animal hoarding and the appropriate societal response.

Our journey continues with the disturbing theory that accused murderer Brian Koberger committed his crimes to impress a former professor – a twisted attempt to demonstrate his intelligence through what he thought would be the "perfect crime." The case raises questions about academic obsession spiraling into violence.

We tackle Hollywood's curious trend of replacing redheaded characters with Black actors, exploring what this means for representation while keeping things light. The conversation shifts to our heartwarming "Bud of the Week" – an eight-year-old Kentucky boy who ordered 70,000 Dum-Dum lollipops on Amazon to share with friends, showcasing childhood generosity in its purest form.

Perhaps most fascinating is our exploration of "widow's fire" – the documented phenomenon where grief transforms into increased sexual desire. We examine one woman's claim of experiencing a threesome with her deceased husband's ghost, considering how people maintain connections with loved ones who've passed.

The episode concludes with a troubling look at AI's role in courtrooms, where technology now creates digital versions of murder victims to deliver impact statements written by family members. This practice raises profound ethical questions about technology, justice, and putting words in the mouths of the dead.

Join us for an episode that balances humor with thoughtful analysis as we navigate these strange territories. Rate, review, and let us know your thoughts!

Episode 127: Ben Kissel vs The Meat Monopoly

Episode 127: Ben Kissel vs The Meat Monopoly

Today’s OK Bud starts with chaos: Kyle, Kayden, and Ben were literally rushed out of a guns-drawn police/criminal stand-off the day before, and yes, they lived to tell the tale. From there, we catch up with the latest on Raja Jackson and Syko Stu, before Ben does the unthinkable — he convinces Jerii and Kyle to turn against Boar’s Head. Why? Because the so-called king of deli meats is quietly paying out settlements to dozens of families injured or killed by last year’s Listeria outbreak, a scandal of corporate greed and careless practices.Shootouts, shout-outs, and sandwich sabotage — it’s all here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 123: Return of the Graveyard Gimps

Tonight’s nightmares: in the UK, gimps in rubber suits are crawling out of the shadows of parks and graveyards, because apparently Jason Voorhees needed kinkier competition. Science meanwhile introduces us to a brand-new spiky dinosaur, proving evolution has always been into BDSM. And finally, the Bermuda Triangle mystery has been “solved” — which is just science-speak for “it was never aliens, stop having fun.”Gimps, goth dinos, and the death of wonder — it’s all downhill from here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
