Episode 30: From Prison Pickleball to Mortuary Mayhem

Send us a text

Death, revenge, and dark humor collide as we explore the strangest headlines you won't hear anywhere else.

Scott Peterson, convicted of murdering his wife in 2004, now fights for his reputation and physical safety in prison—over pickleball, of all things. While the California Innocence Project works to clear his name, Peterson finds himself at the center of recreational yard drama that represents the bizarre reality of life behind bars.

Meanwhile, Josh Duggar and his fellow inmates have launched a hunger strike after losing their recreational privileges at a Texas facility. We dive into the psychology of prison protests and how even the most reviled offenders seek to maintain some control over their circumstances through collective action.

From prisons to funeral homes, we examine the shocking case of a Texas embalmer who took justice into her own hands by mutilating the corpse of a sexual predator. This raises profound questions about professional ethics, revenge, and our cultural attitudes toward the bodies of those who committed terrible acts in life. Should we feel sympathy for her actions or condemn them?

We also explore the digital world's darker side through two disturbing stories: a young mukbang streamer who died from obesity-related complications after years of extreme eating content, and a man who literally Googled "Can I kill an illegal human?" before murdering his undocumented fiancé. Both cases reveal how our online behaviors can lead to tragic real-world consequences.

The episode takes a lighter turn with news of Harry Potter actress Jessie Cave launching an OnlyFans account focused on "hair fetishes" and "slutty Mormon" aesthetics—proving that even in the wizarding world, bills need to be paid.

Join Ben Kissel, Jerii Aquino, and Kyle Ploof as they navigate these bizarre stories with their signature blend of empathy, outrage, and dark humor. Email us at okbudpod@gmail.com or support us on Patreon at patreon.com/diebud to watch the show live and become part of our community.

Jerii’s back just in time for Murder Monday on a Wednesday, and things get dark fast.

To top it off, we close with a drive-by cheeseburger attack outside a strip club.
