Episode 11: Philly Mysteries and the Reign of Lethal Robo-DJs

Send us a text

Ever wondered how a case ruled as suicide leaves behind more questions than answers? Join us as we unravel the chilling case of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia school teacher whose tragic death in 2011 continues to puzzle us. With Ben Kissel, Jerii Aquino, and Kyle Ploof at the helm, we dig into the unsettling details, including those 20 baffling stab wounds, and question whether corruption or incompetence played a role in this unsolved mystery. It's a rollercoaster of emotions as we express our disbelief and frustration, all while seeking justice for Ellen.

From mysterious deaths to the quirky world of DJ robots, we then pivot to the rise of Phantom, a robotic DJ by Foundation Robotics Labs. This intriguing blend of technology and culture sparks a conversation on the militarization of robotics and the ethical dilemmas that come with it. Could cultural diplomacy possibly work with robotic DJs? And what about the unsettling realities of humanoid robots taking center stage in future conflicts? Through humor and critical insight, we navigate these futuristic waters, imagining a world where a Daft Punk comeback might just be the counterbalance we need.

Wrapping up on a lighter note, we reminisce about childhood fears of toys like Furbies while sharing a laugh over a tech party with Phantom at the DJ booth. We highlight the absurdity of human-like expectations placed on machines and muse over Spotify's AI DJ quirks. Despite the chaos of current events, we call for solidarity and community resilience, encouraging listeners to share positive stories and those adorable pet photos that warm our hearts. Together, we look forward to staying connected and supporting each other through unpredictable times.

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.

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.

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.

Episode 101: Happy Birthday Ben!

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.
