Episode 63: Widow's Fire and Dum Dums

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.

Is Ozzy Osbourne finally headbanging in the afterlife? The OK Bud crew digs into breaking news around the death of the Prince of Darkness . Then we take a hard left into the next realm, where one woman claims she saw glowing blue fish people during her near-death experience (and no, she wasn’t on mushrooms). 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.

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.
