Episode 68: Broken Hearts, UFOs, and Senior Crime

Send us a text

The human heart isn't just a physical organ—it's the emotional epicenter of our lives. And according to groundbreaking research from the Journal of the American Heart Association, that romantic notion of "dying from a broken heart" has real scientific backing. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy—the clinical term for broken heart syndrome—can be triggered by extreme emotional distress, causing your heart to physically stop contracting properly due to stress hormones.

What shocked us most? While women experience this condition more frequently, men are twice as likely to die from it. The mortality rates tell a sobering story: 11.2% for men versus 5.5% for women. Doctors theorize that because men tend to bottle up emotions and process stress differently, when broken heart syndrome hits, it strikes with deadly force. It's a stark reminder that emotional health isn't just about feelings—it's about survival.

From matters of the heart to mysterious sightings in the sky, we dive into bizarre UFO encounters reported by border patrol agents. Former agent Bob Thompson describes cylindrical "cigar-shaped" craft with no visible propulsion systems, strange orbs, and even what witnesses described as portals opening in the sky. While skeptics dismiss these as sophisticated cartel drones, Thompson's testimony joins a growing chorus of government personnel reporting unexplainable aerial phenomena.

We also tackle an epidemic of surprising violence in senior living facilities, with shocking tales of elderly residents committing serious crimes against each other, and Howard Stern's startling admission about celebrity insecurity. Even at 71 years old and worth hundreds of millions, the radio icon refuses to attend Knicks games unless given front-row seats, proving that status anxiety haunts even the most successful among us.

Need a simple way to protect your heart from all this stress? The research offers a surprisingly accessible solution: sleep. Taking regular naps might just be your ticket to a healthier heart. So curl up, catch some Z's, and give your heart the break it deserves.

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.
